The Supervisor’s Calendar: the First Quarter of 2015

FROM THE SUPERVISORBy Pete Rios

Special to the Superior Sun

In this letter I would like to provide the constituents of District One a brief description of some of the activities and issues that I participated in the first quarter of 2015. Starting on Jan. 4, I was at the dedication of the Oracle Sail Cart, a great addition to the community. The following day I accepted and attended the Governor Ducey’s Inauguration Invitation at the State Capitol. The following Monday I was at the capitol again networking at the invitation of the state legislature and also attended the Governor’s State of the State Address. Two days later I attended a dinner by invitation only with Canada’s Consulate/ Ambassador to the US. They are hoping to develop an economic mining

project in Florence, AZ. As a member of the National Association of Counties, I attended a conference on Health, Justice and Public Safety. At the local level I had January meetings with constituents on a flood design concept overview; Oracle Little league; Oracle Dark Skies Committee; protecting Coke Ovens by Riverside, Az.; Attended Central Az. Association of Governments Meeting; and participated in Legislative Policy Committee meetings every Friday analyzing legislative bills. In February, I participated in meetings with Southern Pinal County Regional Corridor Study; San Manuel Project; Sun Corridor Municipal Planning Organization; Copper Corridor Broadband

Project; Senator Farley on I-10 dust control; Gov. Ducey’s policy advisor; Waste Management on Landfill Voucher Program; US Congressman Ruben Gallego; Sheila McGinnis U of A Community relations; Addressed the Eloy Rotary Club; and Interviewed with National TV-Cable Network on issues of mining and Resolution Copper. This in addition to constituent meetings and meetings with County Supervisors Association and Legislative Policy Committee. In March, I worked with constituent on San Manuel Clean-Up; attended San Manuel High School Career Day Fair, sponsored by League of Women Voters; attended meeting with others at Oak Flat Mine site in Superior; attended a luncheon by invitation only with US Senator John McCain and British owner of Resolution Copper; participated in Kearny’s Pioneer Day Parade; addressed Leadership Institute participants at CAC Aravaipa Campus; plus other constituent meetings and LPC and CSA meetings. Sneaking into April, a little bit participated in Oracle’s Oak Festival Festivities; had meetings on San Manuel

Airport; worked with San Manuel Senior Citizens on their parking lot; met with Feds on lead and arsenic poisoning; plus many other meetings. I just wanted to provide a brief report on some of my activities and I plan to continue doing this from time to time.

POSTSEASON AWARDSContinued from page 8

This summer readers of all ages will celebrate many types of heroes; the heroes of all ages who walk through the doors of the library each day; the heroes who have made their marks on history; the heroes who keep our communities safe, clean, and productive; and high-profile superheroes as part of our 2015 Summer Reading Program at Superior Public Library! From the youngest child to the strongest, mightiest crusader, each and every hero has his or her own story to tell. We recognize that all children have the potential to be heroes through words and actions; children are encouraged to discover the superheroes within themselves as they dress up, explore art projects and games, complete a variety of feats and deeds, and – of course – read! The 2015 Summer Reading Program is open to young people, preschool through young adult, with programs, prize drawings, story times, a reading club, and more. Families are invited to join the Read-to-Me portion of the program and adults are invited to join the Adult Reading Program. Registration will begin Tuesday, May 26. Program will begin on June 2. The program for children preschool through second grade will be held on Tuesdays from 2 – 3:30 p.m. and grades 3 – 6 will be held on Wednesdays from 2 – 3:30 p.m. Programs will end on July 1. For more information and to register please call the library at 520-689-2327 or visit the library at 99 Kellner Ave. All programs are FREE of charge and open to children of all abilities.
