On March 22, 2013, PCSO received a call from a resident in the unincorporated part of Kearny. The resident wanted to work from home and found a job posted on CareerBuilder.com
for a “parcel forwarding contractor.” After applying for the job, the resident received a lengthy job description with details about compensation. Packages started arriving for the resident to forward,
but no compensation was actually given to the resident. Concerned about the situation and before one package had been forwarded, the resident contacted Kearny Police and Pinal County Sheriff’s
Office. PCSO’s Criminal Investigation Bureau began looking into the situation and confirmed that the packages contained stolen property. PCSO is continuing to investigate this case.
Kearny resident victim of internet job scam Residents are encouraged to vet opportunities carefully. If it seems
too good to be true, it probably is. Exercise caution.
Last week, the Superior Town Council held a special meeting on Tuesday to canvass the votes from the March 12 election. By canvassing the votes the council voted to accept the election results of the votes cast. Because the three council positions and mayor seat all received fifty percent of the votes plus one, there
is not a need for a run-off or general election for the positions. On May 21 the town will still need to conduct the general election to allow the pubic to vote on the Home Rule Ballot Measure.Mayor Jayme Valenzuela who ran unopposed received 354 votes or 86.9% of the votes cast. There were 53 write in
votes that race. He will be sworn in as Mayor in June. Michael Alonzo, Steven Estatico and Gilbert Aguilar were elected to the three open council seats. Alonzo and Estatico will be replacing appointed council members Christopher Tomerlin and Irene Hansen. Gilbert Aguilar remains in his current seat on the council
Town of Superior canvasses votes from March 12 election
after coming in third place in the election. Vote counts for the council seat were as follows: Michael Alonzo - 432, Steve Estatico - 337, Gilbert Aguilar -319, Irene Hansen - 201 and Chris Tomerlin 137. There were 9 write-in votes.

By Chase KampCopper Area News The Pinal County Board of Supervisors unanimously rejected a special use permit application for a medical marijuana dispensary on Highway 77 near Dudleyville, citing concerns about traffic, potential for increased crime in the area and a lack of sufficient public comment on the facility. The application was submitted by Paul Shaub and property land-owner Glenn Wilt Jr., a professor at Arizona State University. The proposed site is on Highway 77 south of Valentine Road within a state-sanctioned
community health analysis area (CHAA). Each CHAA is allowed one medical marijuana dispensary. The Supervisors argued the application did not meet a number of required factors for consideration. Supervisor Pete Rios took greatest issue with the thoroughness of Wilt’s team to notify surrounding residents of a public hearing. Rios argued the applicants merely posted a notice on the former Palmer Steakhouse building and held the meeting on the same night as nearby Ray High School’s homecoming football game. “The applicant was lax with public notice,” Rios said,
“especially in the first go-round in notifying people.” David Dow, Wilt’s lawyer, said required notifications were sent to 16 nearby landowners and that attendance was sparse at the public hearing. Rios asked about the potential for theft in the wooden building that would house the dispensary, as well as the amount of cash the operation would have to handle due to credit card companies being wary of processing medical marijuana transactions. Dow stood by the application’s submitted security plan, which he said was overseen by a former Apache Junction police
Supervisors rejects permit for proposed Dudleyville medical marijuana dispensary
lieutenant, and said the marijuana would have been stored in a safe after nightly closing. He also said some credit card companies will process the transactions, albeit at a higher fee, and that the facility would make daily cash deposits. The facility would not store large amounts of medicinal product, Dow said, unlike other dispensaries that are authorized to grow marijuana on site. “This isn’t a bunch of wild-eyed radicals,” Dow said of the applicants. “They’re stable, sound businessmen who are experienced and will do a good job with this facility.” He explained the proposed
Dudleyville site was chosen because it met the local criteria for distance from schools, churches and other entities. Pinal County law prohibits dispensaries within 1500 feet of churches, schools or libraries, which triples the distance from such facilities required by the state Department of Health Services. In 2010, Arizona voters approved Prop 203 which established the medical marijuana program. Rios said he supported Prop 203. “Cancer victims can benefit from the pain relief of medicinal use,” he said. However, he also contested the application due to traffic accident concerns expressed
to him by the Dudleyville Fire Department. Several Supervisors noted they had received many notes of opposition from constituents, and that they had received next to no letters of support for the proposal. “I’m concerned about the message that it sends to young people,” Rios said. “If it isn’t okay to smoke marijuana, then why is it okay to sell it by the [nearby] Minute Mart [gas station]?” Chairman Steve Miller argued that moral objections to marijuana were not sufficient to deny the application, saying the applicants agreed to meet the 18 stipulations made by the county planning and zoning commission. However, he too expressed concern about the notification to the public. “They posted it legally, but did they really reach out in a way most effective?” he said. After the down vote, Dow said he and Wilt were yet to decide if they will legally challenge the Board’s decision.

Last week, the Central Arizona Governments (CAG) Regional Council met for their monthly March meeting, where it voiced support for Resolution Copper and its subsequent land exchange bill. One of the items on the agenda was a resolution requested by the Town of Superior for CAG to officially oppose the Resolution Copper Southeast Arizona Land Exchange and Conservation Act of 2013. The request came following the Town’s recent reversal of support for the Resolution Copper Mine and termination of the Mutual Benefits Agreement. After lengthy debate on voting procedures and hearing comments from those in favor and against the project the council voted to remain in support
of the bill. The San Carlos Apache Tribe and the Town of Superior voted against continuing regional support for the mine project. Mayor Jayme Valenzuela normally represents the Town of Superior at the CAG meeting but stepped out and allowed Councilwoman Soyla “Kiki” Peralta to represent the Town during the land exchange agenda item. Members of the regional council all participated in the conversation, the Mayor for the City of Maricopa explained that he relies on the input from the other leaders in their areas when making regional decisions and if the majority of the communities in the area surrounding the project are supportive then he would remain supportive. Other communities voting in favor of
Central Arizona Governments upholds support for Resolution Copper Project
remaining in support of the mine project were: Payson, Queen Creek Winkelman, Kearny, Globe, Miami, Mammoth, Maricopa, Florence, Apache Junction, Casa Grande, Eloy, Pinal and Gila Counties. The Regional Council heard comments from both sides of the issue before voting. Representatives from the Superior Copper Alliance presented the 400 signatures and letters of support for the project that the group collected for the House Natural
Resources Committee. Residents of Queen Valley and Concerned Citizens and Retired Miners Chairperson Roy Chavez also spoke in opposition of the project. Rep. Paul Gosar attended the meeting and addressed the council. He also spoke of the support that was given to him and Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick from the residents of Superior. He urged the Regional Council to continue supporting the project. On Friday, following the CAG meeting, Gosar
thanked the council in a statement. “As this public declaration by more than a dozen local stakeholders reaffirms, this project is a win-win for Arizona. Together, we can promote
job creation, decrease mineral and energy dependence, and bolster Arizona’s economy.” Gosar said the reversal of the Superior Town Council was “deceitful and misguided.”

By Andrew Luberda The Superior Jr. Panthers took on Eloy in a battle of two undefeated teams on Mar. 27. Unfortunately the Panthers suffered their first loss of the season, 9 – 3. Coach Lopez said the Panthers defense let them down as they had too many errors in the game. “That was the difference in the game.” Lopez credited Eloy’s pitcher and said she
pitched a very good game against the Panthers. Lopez believes there are lessons to be learned from the loss. “My team is so young that I think (a loss like this) can be a good learning experience,” Lopez said. “We showed a lot of heart and didn’t give up. (Our girls) weren’t intimidated.” The Panthers offense was led by Sivanna Lopez and Alicia Arriola. In action late last month,
the Superior Jr. High softball team defeated Ray Jr. High in a high scoring affair, 22 – 14. Superior Head Coach Joseph Lopez has his team focused and playing consistently well. They remained undefeated with the victory. Lopez said he was happy with the offensive production from the Panthers. “Our offense just exploded. Everybody hit the ball and we were

SUSD vision 20/20 meeting next week
By Rev. Dennis Van Gorp Family Life Christian Center We read in judges 17:6, “In those days Israel had no king; everyone did as he saw fit.” Leadership brings vision; but without true, dedicated leaders, there is no vision or direction. People wander aimlessly, following their own desires. Several times, we read in Proverbs: “There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.” God places in front of us, life or death; and then asks us to choose life. True leadership brings unity and singleness of purpose to people; where we function as a team. When each of us takes our own path, the result is uncertainty and chaos. The majority of the rules and laws are obviously not followed or honored. We have a king, His name is Jesus. He gave us the Bible, where the rules are written down so that we may all know them. They lead to eternal life in heaven, with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Don’t choose to follow your own heart to your own desires, follow Jesus’ heart and experience great love, joy and peace.

All open burning is prohibited by state law in the Apache Junction, Queen Creek, Gold Canyon, San Tan Valley, and portions of Florence from May 1 through September 30.
Key Dates:
FLORENCE, AZ – Starting April 2, Pinal
County Air Quality will only issue 3-day open
Pinal County to suspend issuance of open burn permitsburning permits. All permits will expire by May 1 and Pinal County will suspend the issuance of open burning permits on April 26. Burn permits allow for the disposal of plant material by open burning during limited daytime hours. Additionally, state law prohibits open burning in Area A from May 1 thru September 30. The Pinal County portion of Area A includes Apache Junction, Queen Creek, Gold Canyon, San Tan Valley and portions of Florence. This year’s winter rains
contributed to wildflower, brush and native plant growth, which will soon dry. The annual cycle of rising temperatures will quickly dry seasonal vegetation, leading to an acute wildfire risk in the desert and upland areas of
the County. “The suspension on burn permits will continue until the summer monsoons arrive and mitigate the dual risks to public safety and public health” says Don Gabrielson, Director of Pinal County’s Air Quality
program. Additional information on the Pinal County Air Quality program can be found at www.pinalcountyaz.gov or by calling the Pinal County Air Quality Division at 520-866-6929.
