The Town of Superior is seeking residents’ cooperation on the pavement resurfacing project on Stone Avenue. Construction will begin on June 14 and continue through June 16, 2020.
Town officials are asking that residents please do not park cars on the street during this period to facilitate the project. “It takes 24 hours for the asphalt to cool down and
“freeze,” therefore, please minimize the driving on Stone Avenue during the two days of paving. The road that we are building is for your use, so please be thoughtful,” town officials said.

WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED IN ARIZONA
LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR PATIENT ADVOCACY PROGRAM AND IN-NETWORK STATUS IN ARIZONA AT AIRMETHODSNMR.COM OR CALL 855.896.9067
Our Patient Advocacy program works with all patients, regardless of insurance (even those without insurance), to make sure that out-of-pocket costs are affordable for
them. This has resulted in an average out-of-pocket cost in Arizona of just $147 (including co-pays and
deductibles) for our patients.
OPERATED BY
We believe everyone deserves access to lifesaving care, and a membership should not be required to make sure
that your out-of-pocket costs are low.
Last Saturday, Superior CAN held a peaceful demonstration, described on their flyer as a “Mourning, Solidarity Walk, Promoting Peaceful Police and People Partnerships.” Twenty-eight residents attended. Chris Casillas said, “We received a lot of honks in support and picked up trash afterward to leave Main Street better than we found it.” The demonstration started at noon, with participants meeting at Besich Park where they spent the first few minutes “getting on the same page”, to make sure everyone involved knew what the goal of the demonstration was. What was that goal? “..To acknowledge and mourn those who have suffered due to injustice, to walk in solidarity with those peacefully demonstrating around the world, and to promote ‘Peaceful Police and People Partnerships’.” It was announced that aggressive behavior would not be tolerated, and, that if someone did get aggressive with you to ignore them and keep walking. Other ideas of how to conduct and protect yourself in a safe and peaceful manner were shared, as well. This and other information was
followed by eight minutes and 46 seconds of acknowledgement and mourning, with Maya reading the names of those killed due to injustice. After which, the demonstrators began their solidarity walk. Due to COVID-19, the walk was made with participants six feet apart on the sidewalk, walking single file, all the way from Besich Park to Stone, before crossing the street and walking back to the stop sign at Magma, before crossing and returning to the park. The demonstrators were mindful to not block traffic or litter, and to stay hydrated. When the walk was finished, demonstrators regrouped to share what action they each committed to taking to support peace in our community and beyond, sharing with the person next to them. Finally, the demonstration ended at 1 p.m. with demonstrators picking up trash and each person going on their way, as peacefully as they arrived. Another peaceful demonstration is planned for this next week, at the same place and time. To get involved or provide feedback message Leo’s Community Development Center on Facebook or call Raven at 520-371-8650.

Wildfire Safety Much of the southwest is considered a high-hazard fire environment. Within this hazardous environment are individual homes, and entire communities ill-prepared to survive an intense wildfire. It is not a question of “if” a wildfire will occur, but when. The odds of losing human life and property are growing. The Town of Kearny would like to protect you and the community from the dangers of wildfires. The Fire Chief is very concerned about this upcoming fire season. Even though we have received more rain than usual, it has caused more weeds. Once the rain stops, the weeds will dry out and this will make for a dangerous fire season. Please clear weeds, dry grass, dry shrubs or dead trees surrounding your property. Thank you for your support.
Summer Hours for Hayden The Town of Hayden Public Works Department has begun its summer hours. The hours are from 6 a.m. - 2 p.m. Monday through Friday. Please plan on having garbage available for pick up one hour earlier.

Your drinking water complies with the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (“USEPA”) safe drinking water standard for arsenic, though it contains low levels of arsenic. USEPA’s safe drinking water standard balances the current understanding of arsenic’s possible health effects against the costs of removing arsenic from drinking water. USEPA continues to research the health effects of low levels of arsenic, which is a mineral known to cause cancer in humans at high concentrations and is linked to other health effects such as skin damage and circulatory problems.
Note: In addition to the constituents listed in this report, Arizona Water Company and ADEQ conducted monitoring for over 90 additional constituents and the results show none of those constituents were detected in the water. Data presented are from the most recent testing done in accordance with applicable regulations. Some constituents are monitored less frequently than once a year because either their concentrations do not change frequently or they are not likely to be detected. Therefore, some of the water quality testing data contained herein, although representative, may be more than one year old. If you have questions about this water quality report, please contact Regina Lynde, Environmental Compliance Manager, Arizona Water Company, P. O. Box 29006, Phoenix, Arizona 85038-9006; telephone (602) 240-6860 or email [email protected].
In 2003, ADEQ completed a Source Water Assessment of the water sources used by Arizona Water Company’s Superior water system. ADEQ reviewed the adjacent land uses that may pose a potential risk to the water sources. The result of the Assessment was a low risk to the water sources.
The complete Assessment is available for inspection at ADEQ, 1110 West Washington Street, Phoenix, Arizona 85007, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Electronic copies are available from ADEQ at [email protected].

DEFINITIONS, ABBREVIATIONS, AND UNIT DESCRIPTIONS:
Action = The concentration of a constituent which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must
Level follow. CDC = United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention FDA = United States Food and Drug Administration MCL = Maximum Contaminant Level, the highest level of a constituent that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to
the MCLGs using the best available treatment technology as is economically and technologically feasible. MCLG = Maximum Contaminant Level Goal, the level of a constituent in drinking water below which there is no known or expected
risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. MRDL = Maximum Residual Disinfection Level, the highest level of a drinking water disinfectant that is allowed in drinking water.
There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants. MRDLG = Maximum Residual Disinfection Level Goal, the level of a drinking water disinfectant in drinking water below which there is
no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial constituents.
NA = None adopted NS = No standard pCi/L = Picocuries per liter ppb = Parts per billion, or micrograms per liter (µg/L) ppm = Parts per million, or milligrams per liter (mg/L) PWSID = Public Water Supply Identification
The USEPA and ADEQ require Arizona Water Company to provide the following information:
Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some constituents. The presence of constituents does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about constituents and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the USEPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
Some people may be more vulnerable to constituents in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. USEPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial constituents are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radiological material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.
Constituents that may be present in source water include: • Microbials, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural
livestock operations, and wildlife. • Inorganics, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial
or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming. • Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and
residential uses. • Organics, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are byproducts of industrial processes and
petroleum production. They can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems. • Radiological material, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, USEPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain constituents in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for constituents in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.
If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. Arizona Water Company is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the USEPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/lead.
May 2020
We read in Romans 8:31, “If God is for us, who can be against us? (35) Who shall separate us from the love of
Christ? (39) Absolutely NOTHING can separate us!” This is a firm promise from our God. The Bible often speaks of how much God loves us. So much so, that He allowed His own Son to be sacrificed for our sins. What do we have to
do? Accept His awesome love. Reject the sinful lifestyle we are used to, and practice following God. With God on our side, we’ve got this. The love relationship between us cannot be pulled apart. God sent His Son – because He cares so very much about us. The One who created the universe is who we call our ‘Father.’ The
greatest love is shown by giving your life for someone, and that is what Jesus Christ did for us. The Apostle Paul had so many people coming against him, that is why he depended on the Heavenly security of God’s love and compassion. We also share that love. Nothing can steal it away!
Sharing God’s Love

Crate label for Pinal Ranch apples.
By John MedleySpecial to Copper Area News
First used as a remote military outpost, the Pinal Ranch is located in the mountainous copper mining district of eastern central Arizona. Originally established in 1870 by General George Stoneman of the U.S. Army, it was known as Camp Pinal and was used as an outpost during the Apache Campaigns. The original one room log cabin was abandoned by the military in the fall of 1872. Sometime prior to 1878, Andrew Hawkins and Tom Buchanan had taken up residence as squatters at Camp Pinal. John Irion, a newcomer to the area, bought out Hawkins’ half interest in the property. As an early improvement, Irion added an adobe room to the existing log cabin. In the late 1870s and early 1880s John Irion together with Buchanan fed and lodged travelers and pack trains at the Pinal Ranch. Most of those using the ranch as a stop-over were passing from the rich “Silver King” minion into the mining district around Globe, Arizona. Not long
after, Buchanan sold his half interest in the ranch to Irion. Born in Kansas in 1865, Dudley I. Craig was the stepson of John Irion’s brother, Robert Irion. In 1906, Craig constructed a narrow one lane wagon from their Pinal Ranch eastward towards Globe. Since this road began at their ranch, their place continued to be used as a stop-over on the road between the Salt River Valley and western New Mexico. Portions of Dudley Craig’s road, with some improvements, were still in use up until 1920 – 21. By 1922 the state of Arizona had completed what was then known as the “Million Dollar Highway.” Today this road through the Pinal Mountains is known as U.S. Highway 60. As ranchers, road builders, and stage stop operators, Irion and Craig must have indeed been occupied. Yet during this period they also established a viable commercial apple orchard. The existence of the “Pinal Ranch Brand” apple crate label is testimony to this undertaking. In the mid 1900s their first commercial crops were delivered by wagon to Globe. In 1913 the family purchased a truck making

Using a long winding route eastward and then turning westward onto the “Apache Trail” then past newly constructed Roosevelt Dam, their apples could be delivered to Phoenix. As the crow flies it was only seventy miles from the ranch to the Phoenix area. However, the trip itself required two nights of camping out along the road before reaching their destination. Prior to 1922 Irion and Craig were growing and packing apples under the “Pinal Ranch” brand. By late 1922, the western Lithograph Co. of Los Angeles had printed a crate label with only D. I. Craig & Sons listed as the grower-packers. In late 1925 Western Lithograph again printed a crate label for the ranch. This label was almost a reverse mirror image of the earlier 1922 label. In addition to being a orchardist, engineer and cattleman, Craig was to gain national attention as a volunteer weather observer. In June 1953, Craig was commended by Arizona Governor Pyle, by the Chief of the U.S. Weather Service, and by the Secretary of Commerce. This commendation was for his sixty years of
consecutive daily weather observations. These daily observations dating from 1893 to 1953 indicate that the Pinal Ranch at 4520 feet received about 25 inches of rainfall per year. In 1973 the last of the Craig family sold and moved from the ranch. The new owner attempted a variety of projects at the site. To a large extent the orchards suffered neglect. The two story packing shed with its nitrogen based cooling system was carved up into a rental storage room complex. The various cabins and houses on the property were badly abused by the rental tenants. Fortunately for the ranch, another owner recently acquired the property. The main house, surrounded by ponderosa pines, is a large ranch style adobe structure. This fine old Arizona home is now undergoing loving renovation by the present owners.Editor’s Note: This article originally appeared in the September 1989 issue of the Oracle Magazine.
