High Speed Chase Ends In Arrests
Couple crashes stolen car
By Ed Barker
The News
An Apache Junction man
and a Mesa woman are in custody after attempting to outrun Pinal County deputies last
week in a stolen car.
Police say the car, driven by
Duane Michael Parks, 36, of
Apache Junction, with a
woman passenger, Melissa
Scala, 20, of Mesa, attempted
to outrun deputies around
8:15 p.m. on Monday, January 13, 2014.
The chase began in Gold
Canyon and ended in Apache
Junction when the car, a Ford
Mustang, crashed through a
fence gate in the 1000 block
of East Junction Dr. in Apache
Junction and came to a stop.
The Pinal County Sheriff’s
Office (PCSO) said deputies
first tried to stop the vehicle,
reported stolen out of Apache
Junction, near Alameda Dr.
and Kings Ranch Road in
Gold Canyon, but the driver
sped off.
Officers said that when the
Duane Michael Parks
(PCSO)
suspect realized he was going
down a dead end road, he
made a U-turn and drove
head-on toward the deputy’s
vehicle, missing the patrol ve-
Page A-1
hicle by only inches.
Deputies deployed two sets
of stop sticks, but the driver
turned westbound onto U.S.
60 toward Apache Junction
and was clocked at nearly 100
mph as he sped through stop
signs and red lights, according to PCSO.
The car crashed through a
closed gate in the 1000 block
of East Junction in Apache
Junction and came to a stop.
The car’s two occupants ran
from the scene, but Scala was
quickly captured.
Using clues from the car,
deputies located Parks later
and took him into custody at
his residence in Apache Junction. Authorities reported
finding him at his home, two
miles away, with marijuana
and a marijuana pipe.
PCSO said Parks resisted arrest and was booked into the
Pinal County Jail for aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, theft of
means of transportation, felony flight, resisting arrest, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia,
charges of criminal damage
and leaving the scene of the
accident.
State Senator Bob Worsley,
who brought the stakeholders
together for negotiations at the
urging of State Senator Al
Melvin, expressed his excitement for the progress the two
sides are making. “The State
Land Department and Union
Pacific deserve great credit for
their efforts to find common
ground on this important project, which has the potential to
be a significant job creator for
central Pinal County.”
Progress Announced On Proposed Rail Yard
Land Department, Union Pacific will hire consultants
to study Red Rock classification yard in Pinal County
Negotiations aimed at exploring the auction of state
trust land in Pinal County for
the construction of a classification rail yard took another
step forward recently with the
Arizona State Land Department and Union Pacific Railroad announcing their retention of engineering consultants
who will examine the technical questions involving the
proposed ‘Red Rock’ project.
State Land Commissioner
Vanessa Hickman announced
that her department has retained the services of RBF, a
national planning, design, and
construction firm. Union Pacific has also secured an outside firm to assist with the
analysis.
“We are happy that that this
phase of the proposed project
is moving forward,” Hickman
declared. “We are confident
that the expertise of the parties involved will lead to a
full understanding of the issues being studied.”
The move by the Land Department and Union Pacific to
retain a team of consultants
follows several months of
positive discussions between
the two parties and other
stakeholders regarding the
proposed Red Rock classification yard.
State Land Commissioner
Vanessa Hickman expressed
that progress is being made.
“This has been a positive and
productive dialogue. The decision to retain technical consultants is a clear sign that both
parties are committed to working through the complex technical questions that surround
large projects such as this one.
I look forward to receiving the
consultants’ report and making a determination regarding
whether Union Pacific’s application is in the best interests of
the State Land Trust.”
Zoe Richmond, Director,
Public Affairs, Union Pacific,
stated, “We look forward to
continuing to work with the
State Land Department in an
effort to purchase property
for a future rail facility in Pinal County. We appreciate the
willingness of State Land to
commit the resources necessary to confirm that a future
land purchase meets the
state’s legal obligations.”
Cadet Earns Navy Scholarship
AJHS JROTC Cadet Pilas will get a full-ride to college
For the 8th-consecutive year,
the Apache Junction High
School Navy JROTC program is proud to announce
one of its cadets has been selected for a full-ride, Navy
ROTC college scholarship.
AJHS senior Uziel Pilas will
receive up to $180,000 toward a four-year college degree at any college or university in the United States that
offers Navy ROTC. The
scholarship covers 100-percent of tuition, books, fees,
and a monthly stipend for living expenses. Pilas plans to
attend Arizona State University in the fall.
Selected applicants for the
NROTC Scholarship Program
are awarded scholarships
through a highly competitive
AJHS senior Uziel Pilas
national selection process,
and receive full tuition, books
stipend, educational fees and
other financial benefits at
many of the country’s leading
colleges and universities.
Upon graduation, midship-
men are commissioned as officers in the unrestricted line
Naval Reserve or Marine
Corps Reserve. Students selected for the NROTC Scholarship Program make their
own arrangements for college
enrollment, room and board,
and take the normal course
load required by the college
or university for degree completion.
Pilas was nominated for the
scholarship through the AJHS
Navy JROTC program. He is
currently completing his 4th
year in the unit and ranks as
one of the school’s top cadets.
He is currently the JROTC’s
Executive Officer (2nd in
Command) and has served as
commander of the Academic
Team and Air Rifle Team.
Computers Donated To School
Supervisor House delivers computers to Avalon School
District 5 Supervisor Todd
House showed up to the front
door of Avalon K-8 School
in mid-December with 104
used county computers for
the students. These used
computers will help the
school when the state changes from AIMS to the new
College and Careers Ready
Standards test in 2015.
“We had these computers
here and they were collecting
dust,” said Supervisor House.
“We usually sell them at auction for pennies on the dollar.
This way the computers are
put to really good use to help
educate the future leaders of
this county, state and nation.”
Before the computers were
donated, all the hard drives
were removed by Pinal Coun-

staff members.
“The new College and Careers Ready Standard test will
be taken online, unlike the
AIMS test,” explained Avalon
K-8 School Director Michael
McCord. “This donation will
be pretty helpful to us, we are
grateful.”
McCord added that the
school is in the process of
procuring new hard drives for
the donated computers.
Supervisor House said he is
hopeful the county can help
again in the future.
“There are a lot of schools
out there that are in need of
these type of resources. If we
are able to help out another
school with a donation like
this, I am all for it.”

Get What’s Coming To You From IRS Banner Hosts Free
Earned Income Tax Credit available to low-income workers
Heart Seminar
The IRS may owe you money! You may qualify for federal tax credits and not even
know it. The Earned Income
Credit (EIC) and Child Tax
Credit (CTC) are federal tax
benefits for working people
like you. Some workers can
receive a refund even if they
don’t owe taxes.
The EIC and CTC are valuable but complex tax breaks
for working people that could
be worth over $5,000. Residents who qualify for EIC and
CTC may also receive free
tax preparation assistance and
free E-filing of their tax returns by IRS trained community volunteers.
You could earn extra credit
through the CTC! Workers
raising children could get an
even larger refund by claim-
ing the CTC. Workers who
raised a child under age 17
who lived with them for more
than half the year could be
eligible. The CTC is worth a
maximum of $1,000 per child.
Most families receive a credit
worth several hundred dollars. To claim the CTC, a
worker, spouse and child must
have an SSN or an Individual
Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN).
Get all the money YOU
earned! If you were eligible
for the EIC or CTC in the past
but did not claim them, you
can get your refund for up to
three back years. Ask the volunteer tax preparers at the
free tax help sites for help.

Hi Ivory:
EXAM,

SCREENING &
NECESSARY X-RAYS
Below is the info that we would like to place in your paper. We would like it the normal size ($195.00/13
weeks) in the Worship Services section.
Fr. Pinti does not think the logo is necessary. I have set it to the side on the copy below. If you would like to
include it as an option that we could look at that would be great. If you too feel that it is too much, just omit it.
Thanks for all of your help. Let me know if you have any questions.
Peace -

This very popular group is
world-renowned, having performed six tours of South
Korea, three tours of Australia and many venues in Canada. Additionally, they have
toured Cuba with Dr. Jim
Groen and Global Connections, International, and
throughout Central and Western United States.
They began in 1981 as a
quartet in the Southern Gospel tradition but have become
so much more, incorporating
Contemporary Christian music, even some traditional sacred music, Broadway, patriotic and popular music. This
group not only does it all, but
does it all very well, indeed!
Their music truly is timeless

Phil Rakoci’s ‘Wild Arizona’ Discover Superior This Week
AJUSD’s Arizona Lecture Series goes wild January 27 6th Annual Superior Home & Building Tour: Jan. 25-26
While normally focused on
the two-legged creatures that
helped develop Arizona’s history and culture, the Jan. 27
edition of the 2014 Arizona
Lecture Series will feature the
four-legged, no-legged, and
feathered inhabitants of our
state as part of Phil Rakoci’s
Wild Arizona.
Through hands-on analysis
using live creatures, ‘Wildman’ Phil will highlight the
unique characteristics of desert wildlife, their desert
homes, and the way the lives
of these vastly different animals are interwoven, creating
a community where each has
its purpose and place. Rakoci
will discuss the defensive
strategies and interesting adaptations of these creatures,
while separating fact from fiction in the world of scorpions,
rattlesnakes, tarantulas and
other desert fauna.
Naturalist and humorist Phil
Rakoci captivates audiences
by combining elements of a
wildlife safari with a handson science expedition to teach

respect for the environment,
identifying dangerous creatures and situations, and dispelling some of the myths
about life in the desert. An
Arizona native, Rakoci has a
passion for all things prickly,
pointy and venomous. His
home is a living laboratory of
the desert and Rakoci takes
his ‘pets’ on the road throughout the western U.S. to entertain and educate audiences of
all ages.

Rail Yard, A-1
Initially proposed by Union
Pacific in 2006, the ‘Red
Rock’ project would involve
the auction and purchase
state trust land by Union Pacific near Red Rock in central Pinal County. The land
would be developed into a
Union Pacific classification
yard where rail cars would
be separated and classified
and trains assembled, improving Union Pacific’s ability to create value for its
many customers in Arizona.
Advocates of the project believe the new yard will create jobs and generate new
tax revenue for local governments and schools.
A focused dialogue among
the interested parties recently
culminated in an agreement
to a study period of roughly
one year in which a series of
unanswered questions regarding Union Pacific’s ability to purchase the property
will be addressed. The stakeholders will carefully study
how to protect the provision
of access to the I-10 freeway
and neighboring parcels of
state land, address drainage
and flood control and determine land value. The negotiations are expected to last at
least one year.
Award winning children’s
author Conrad Storad will
address the SMM lecture
series attendees on Jan. 23.
Book Award, and a Best Book
Award from USA Book
News. Storad has also been
honored by being named
“Arizona Children’s Author
of the Year.”
During his presentation,
Storad will share some of his

readers “turned on” to read-

Lugging that large, bulky instrument to and from school is over for two lucky cello
players at Cactus Canyon Junior High School. The Apache Junction Mounted
Rangers have brought two of the expensive stringed instruments to the school’s
band as a gift and received smiles from the kids as their reward. The Rangers’ next
project will be to donate a new drum set.
A good nonfiction story
should be more than just a
bunch of facts, according to
author Conrad J. Storad.
“Nonfiction stories should be
fun,” he states. And he has
spent his career trying to do
exactly that with each and every book that he has written
for children and young adults.
Storad will share his philosophy on presenting science
and other non-fiction using
storytelling techniques when
he speaks at the Superstition
Mountain Museum on Thursday, Jan. 23, at 2 p.m. as part
of the museum’s free annual
lecture series.
Former award-winning Director of Research Publications at Arizona State University, Storad is an academic
science writer and an awardwinning author of children’s
books, as well. In some ways
science writer and children’s
author might seem an odd
combination. But Storad has
taken this unique combination of skills and used his
vivid imagination and vast
scientific knowledge to create
entertaining books to get kids
excited about science.
In 2012, Arizona Way Out
West & Witty, co-authored
with Lynda Exley, was named
“One Book Arizona for Kids.”
Every student in Arizona read
the book in 2012 as part of
Arizona’s Centennial celebration. It was also selected to
represent Arizona as part of
the “52 Great Reads” program run annually at the National Book Festival in Washington, D.C. by the National
Center for the Book at the Library of Congress. The Arizona Way Out West & Wacky
activity book won the IBPA
Benjamin Franklin Award,
the Moonbeam Children’s
ing. Many of his books will
be available for purchase and
signing after the presentation.
Admission is free and the
presentations are held outdoors in the amphitheater. Attendees can bring a lawn chair
or cushion to sit on. As a museum fundraiser, raffle tickets
for weekly prizes and a season-end Grand Finale Drawing for a special prize are sold
each week.
The Superstition Mountain
Museum is run by the Superstition Mountain Historical
Society, a non-profit corporation dedicated to preserving
and collecting the history and
legends of Superstition Mountain and the surrounding area.

Kudos to Chuck Baker
I would like to say “Thank you” to Chuck Baker and the AJ
News for the awesome articles you write and have written about
the Student Athletes of Apache Junction. It is great joy to see
your child’s name in the paper and the way you write is super!!
I believe I speak for all the parents, Aunts, Uncle and Grandparents of athletes in AJ!!
The best article I ever read was about my nephew Tim Harlan
when he won sate in wrestling--everyone I know shed a few
tears!! I remember the joy I received when I would see my name
in the Shiawassee County Journal - Perry, MI :) and I know
these young athletes feel the same! I will continue to look forward to more articles as more of family enjoys sports in Apache
Junction.
Thanks again Mr. Baker and please keep writing.

Aliens
Referring to your editorial (Que Pasa) about surveys and their
results; very interesting and sadly amusing. I think that the question about aliens needs clarification, however. There really
should be two questions:
(1) does life, perhaps intelligent life, exist outside of Earth?
(2) have we been visited by any of that life?
I believe that the answer to (1) is probably “yes.” It is the height
of human arrogance to think that of all the billions of planets in
the Universe, ours is the only one on which life has evolved. The
answer to (2), however, is almost certainly “no.” The laws of
physics and the great distances involved make interstellar travel
all but impossible.
Robert Ryden, Apache Junction
The bird
I am a winter visitor from Canada. When we first came to
Apache Junction there was a large statute of a Quail on Phelps
Dr. I remember it was stolen. Did it ever turn up? We walk past
the location and the foot prints are still there. We never did hear
the outcome of the bird. Any information would be appreciated.
Jill Barden, Rock Shadows
Editor’s note: The large, beautiful statue of a desert quail which
was erected by the City of Apache Junction on S. Phelps Drive
was not stolen, but repeatedly vandalized until it’s condition was
no longer safe for the public. The statue was finally removed by
the city and officials say they have no plans for the future of the
statue.
It’s been a gas!
It is with a little bit of sadness that Saturday, January 25, Apache
Propane, Inc. will be closing it’s doors. Apache Propane has
served Apache Junction, Queen Valley, Queen Creek and East
Mesa with their propane needs for 53 years.
Paul and Donna Munyon started Apache Propane back in 1961
and their son Steve took over in 1982 when they retired. Steve
married Georgi in 1995 and they have been running the company together to this day.
We and our faithful employee Bruce wanted to thank all our
loyal customers for propane and UHaul we have had over the
years. We will truly miss you all.

Open letter to Supreme Court
According to State Law, you are not meant to divulge a Whistle-Blower yet Lawrence M. WHARTON did exactly that to me
when he ‘outed’ me publicly. He did this by bringing the case
against me and using my name in the public domain (rather than
“John Doe”). Elliott Fisher CR 2012-02-576 (Still Pending).
Remember, Wharton was meant to uphold the law not simply
to prosecute in his former capacity as Deputy Attorney for the
Pinal County Attorney’s Office. Under the color of law, he acted
with an evil eye and an uneven hand. My background here in
Pinal County is political so his motivation could stem from politics. I was a candidate in 2008 for Pinal County Supervisor,
former District II.
I feel compelled to protest his name being considered for the
position of a Superior Court Judge. His lack of integrity has
brought dishonor that should not be rewarded and potentially
discourages other Whistle-Blowers from coming forward. This
will impede good government for years to come if the State of
Arizona does not protect Whistle-Blowers. Wharton had not
considered either State or Federal laws when he brought the
charges against me and in what manner he did so using my legal
name. Wharton’s lack of sensitivity caused me severe embarrassment and harm in my political aspirations as a community
advocate and medical provider.

An Educated Workforce Critical to Arizona’s Future
By Dr. Chad Wilson
Superintendent, Apache
Junction Unified School
District
While the tide may slowly be
turning, unemployment in Arizona still hovers near eightpercent with thousands of prospective workers facing limited
opportunities, long lines at job
fairs, and an uncertain financial future. The irony of the
situation is there are many jobs
available with companies desperate to fill them. So what’s
the problem?
The problem has never been
a lack of workers in this state,
but a shortage of skilled labor.
The Bureau of Labor and Statistics found that in Arizona
alone, nearly 60,000 manufacturing jobs have left the
state over the past 10 years,
leaving us with an economy
led primarily by office support, sales and food services— jobs with median salaries
ranging from $18,000 to just
over $30,000. Meanwhile, the
growing industries of technology, solar, engineering and
health care endure a shortage
of qualified applicants, forcing companies to search out
of state to fill their vacancies.
To compound the problem,
Arizona’s workforce is growing older and even less-skilled.
Arizona State University’s
Morrison Institute reports that
Arizona will lose 123,000 college-educated workers to retirement by 2020. Unfortunately,
not nearly enough college graduates are in the pipeline ready
to replace the retiring employees. A study by the Arizona
Board of Regents reports that
of the 53,392 students who
graduated from Arizona high
schools in 2006, only 19 percent went on to graduate from a
four-year college institution.
Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce says by 2018, 61-percent
of jobs in Arizona are expected
to require a college degree.
Without an influx of skilled
workers, either produced instate, or brought in from the
outside, Arizona’s economy
will continue to struggle under
present conditions.
The time to raise the bar of
expectations in our schools
has arrived and every student
from kindergarten through
graduate school must answer
the call. High school diplomas are no longer a guaranteed ticket to at least a middleclass way of life. Our state
cannot be satisfied with simply preparing students to get
in to college; we must also
build the academic foundation
to help students succeed after
they arrive on campus.
To provide an educated
workforce to fill “skilled” jobs
that provide a decent salary
and drive Arizona’s economy,
attention and resources must
be given to real-world application learning. At the Apache
Junction Unified School District (AJUSD), our College
Readiness For All expectation
strives to address this very
need at every grade level with
a curriculum that provides
rigorous instruction relevant
to the needs of today’s workplace. Using both Blended
and Project-Based Learning,
students learn through doing
rather than memorizing and
repeating information in order
to develop problem-solving,
creative-thinking skills that
will help our students stand
out among their peers.
Beginning with last year’s
Class of 2013, Apache Junction High School requires four
years of mathematics to graduate, in addition to the current
requirements of three years of
science and one year of Career Foundations that can include any number of Career
Technical Education (CTE)
courses. AJHS also offers nine
Advanced Placement and PreAdvanced Placement courses
in science and math, as well
as partnerships with the East
Valley Institute of Technology
and Central Arizona College
Dr. Chad Wilson, AJUSD
Superintendent
to give students a variety of
options for developing their
skills at the college level while
still in high school.
AJUSD also recognizes technology as a critical component for most skilled jobs.
Today, students require a high
level of technical literacy to
be competitive in tomorrow’s
job market. To give students
that exposure, we are proud to
offer a ‘one-to-one’ opportunity in Grades 7-10 where
each student has daily access
to Chromebook and Netbook
computers for their assignments and research.
Despite the intimidating unemployment numbers we are
facing, high-paying jobs are
out there and ready to be
filled. Not providing a sufficient number of skilled candidates to the industries shaping
our future is unacceptable.
Communities and school systems must make the commitment that tomorrow, we will
be better than we are today.

Why the Story of the
Dutchman’s Lost Mine?
By Tom Kollenborn
(c) 2014 The News
Many times the question
has been asked, “Why the
story of the Dutchman’s lost
mine?” How did such a story
get started? Some sources
will tell you this is the “grand
daddy” of all lost gold mine
stories, dating back to the
1890s when the first article
about the lost mine appeared
in the San Francisco Chronicle in 1895. P.C. Bicknell, a
free-lance writer and prospector with an imaginative
mind wrote the article. The
Arizona Republican printed
its first story about the Dutchman’s lost mine on December 7, 1895. The German
prospector known as the
Dutchman died on October
25, 1891, and both articles
appeared about four years after his death. These events
set the stage for the evolution
of the “grand daddy” of all
lost gold mine stories in
America.
Yes, there were many storytellers of the period that
helped carry the story along
its course to stardom. These
names included men like
Herman Petrasch, Rhinehart
Petrasch, Richard Holmes,
James Bark, Sims Ely, and
others of this era. Julia
Thomas Shaffer enlightened
the story and became the first
searcher of the Dutchman’s
lost mine. During her search
of August 1892, she unknowingly walked over the rich
gold mine known as the
Mammoth on the way to a
pointed peak behind Superstition Mountain. Her search
for the mine produced nothing. By the turn of the 20th
Century the lost mine story
had been well infused in the
historical fiber of Arizona.
By 1925 many authors were
picking up of the tale. Will

Kollenborn Chronicles
Barry Storm’s book
Thunder God’s Gold
became the basis of the
1949 movie Lust For
Gold (above) starring
Glenn Ford and Ida
Lupino. Left: The Lost
Dutchman Monument.
Robinson mentioned the lost
mine in his book Alluring
Arizona and of course Frank
J. Dobie’s book, In The Footsteps of Coronado, published
in 1931.
Actually, by 1931, the story
of the Dutchman’s lost mine
had been well established in
the American fiber of lost
mine stories. However, nothing opened the story to national publicity like the disappearance of a Washington,
D.C. resident in the early
summer of 1931. Adolph
Ruth was reported missing
from his camp in West Boulder Canyon at Willow
Springs by William A. Barkley in May of 1931. A twomonth search was initiated
and produced an enormous
amount of publicity for the
lost Spanish or Mexican gold
mine Ruth was looking for in
the Superstition Mountain.
Many of these stories printed
in the papers added credibility to the story of lost gold in
the rugged mountains east of

Apache Junction. The Ruth
story helped create the tale of
the Dutchman lost mine on a
national level.
The tragic story was followed by a surge of authors
writing about the area. First
there was Oren Arnold, then
Barry Storm, followed by
Barney Barnard and many
more writers of the period
1934-1952. These writers set
the world stage for the story
of the Dutchman’s lost mine.
No, you cannot give the local
Chamber of Commerce credit for creating this story to attract tourists to the area. This
story was here long before
any tourists visited Arizona,
even before the first “lungers” came to the desert
around 1900 with hopes of
finding a cure for “consumption” or Tuberculosis.
Barry Storm wrote a book
in 1945 titled Thunder God’s
Gold. This book became the
basis of a Hollywood movie
titled Lust For Gold starring
Glenn Ford and Ida Lupino

in 1949. This movie converted many a person into a lost
gold mine adventurer. I could
list the names of many who
followed in the footsteps of
that story. Actually believing
there was twenty million dollars in gold just to be picked
up in the mountains. They
would have to wait at the
right spot for the moonlight
to point out the location of
the mine or cache of gold according to the movie.
It is interesting how many
devoted follower of this story
exist today. It’s a story I have
followed all my life and even
my father before me. But,
I’m a skeptic as far as the
story goes. I have met some
of the most honest and sincere people who believe with
all their heart and soul that
there is buried gold in the Superstition Mountain range. I
can’t deny the fact that these
mountains could hide something buried there a hundred
years ago, but yet I find it difficult to believe.
There are many stories of
hidden or buried gold in these
mountains. Take you pick
because men and women will
be searching for their dreams
forever. Human nature has a
tendency to accept segments
of our dreams and proceed
toward reality.
There is a Dutchman’s lost
mine because there are those
in society who have chosen
to honor the dreams of prosperity. Therefore, why not a
lost gold mine in the Superstition Mountains?

Discover Arizona Parks
A letter from State Parks Director Bryan Martyn
By Bryan Martyn
AZ State Parks director
of Arizona.
More than re-discovering
Arizona’s natural beauty, I
discovered an amazing passion among those who come
to Arizona. People really love
this state. They come from all
over the world to vacation,
hike, explore, live and work.
They appreciate all that Arizona has to offer and return
again and again.
This year’s Federal Government shutdown took place during my Campout Series. It was
amazing to see first-hand the
reaction of our state’s guests
and the impact upon Federal
Park employees and local businesses. (Arizona State Parks
remained open as we are a
State entity and not Federal).
Make no mistake, outdoor recreation and tourism drives the
economies of rural Arizona.
People from all over the world
want to spend their time and
money in Arizona’s outdoors.
As Arizonans, we need to ensure we protect and promote
our outdoor treasures. We must
make every effort to preserve
our deserts, forests, lakes, rivers, streams and trails. President Theodore Roosevelt said
The last half of this year I
embarked upon a journey
throughout Arizona to the majority of our State Parks. The
journey was called “The Director’s Campout Series.” The
idea was to get out to the
parks. I wanted to see and experience the treasures of our
State Parks’ system, to camp
and hike and explore, to talk
and listen, to interact with our
customers, volunteers, camp
hosts and Rangers. I wanted
to use the facilities, the bathrooms, the showers, the ramadas, the fire pits, the lakes, the
streams and the trails. I wanted to experience the parks as
our customers experience the
parks. I discovered far more
than I thought I would.
Arizona is an amazing state.
Living all over the world for
more than 20 years in the military, I have seen some incredibly beautiful places. From
Europe, to Asia, to the Middle
East and across America, I’ve
truly ventured far and wide.
There is no place on the planet
that boasts the diverse beauty

it best, “Here is your country.
Cherish these natural wonders,
cherish the natural resources,
cherish the history and romance as a sacred heritage, for
your children and your children’s children.”
In this new year, I’d like to
encourage all Arizonans to
make the time to explore outdoor Arizona. We are blessed
with natural, historic and cultural treasures like none in the
world. Step away from your
computer, smart pad and TV.
Nobody ever remembers their
best day of computer games.
Everyone remembers their
best days spent outdoors. See
you in the parks!
Now in its 6th year, Canyon
Vistas RV Resort in Gold
Canyon will be hosting
Crushing Cancer One Step at
a Time on Jan. 22-25.
The resort is hosting this
event to raise money for cancer awareness and research.
Through its past pledges, raffles, auctions and resort activities more than $65,000
has been donated to the
American Cancer Society.
The events will start with a
luminaria social at 7 p.m. on
Wednesday evening, Jan. 22.
Handcrafted items donated
by resort artisans will be displayed and auctioned as
sealed bids. The state baskets’ live auction will be
Thursday afternoon, Jan. 23.
Residents bid on baskets of
donated items produced in
the various states and provinces represented at the resort. The Chauffeurs will
provide dancing music on
Friday evening, Jan. 24. Rumor has it someone will be
arrested that evening and will
need bail money before being
released.

Frederick AJHS Wrestling Champ
Time Out
Captures 160-pound division title; now has 112 career wins
By Chuck Baker
The News
Prospector 160-pound senior Daniel Frederick went a
perfect 9-0 at the AJHS Wrestling Tournament held January 10 and 11 to capture his
weight class title and improve
his career record to 112-45.
That puts the Apache Junction senior ninth all-time for
career wins at AJHS and with
the Payson Tournament held
this past weekend, plus upcoming duals versus Cortez
and Tempe, and the Sectional
and State tournaments still to
come, Frederick will likely be
moving up that list.
With results from the Payson
Tournament pending, Frederick is now just five wins away
from tying Trent McMinn
(117-20) for 6th all-time, and
six wins away from tying
Wayne McMinn (118-0) for
5th all-time. He likely passed
both Mike Armagost (113-26,
8th all-time) and Kyle McMinn (114-28, 7th all-time) at
the Payson Tournament, barring an injury.
Frederick, one of only two
seniors on this year’s AJHS
squad, has a ways to go to
catch Rob McMinn’s career
wins of 130 for fourth alltime but might have a shot at
that total by season’s end.
For the record, Rob McMinn
went 130-2 in his AJHS career and was a four-time state
champion. Third all-time for
career wins is three-time state
champ Brandon Hays (14111), second all-time is Kevin
Combs (145-18), who never
won a state title, and the alltime AJHS wrestler in career
wins is Jared Sutter (150-13),
a two-time state champion
back in 1996 and 1997.
Also at the AJHS Tournament, sophomore 285-pounder Michael Uehling suffered
just his second and third
losses of the season, both to
Shay Valdieso from Skyline,
one in the 5th-6th place team
finals and one in the miniindividual tournament finals
where he finished runner-up
at 285 pounds. AJHS junior
John Saldivar went 7-2 overall and placed 3rd in the miniindividual tournament at 170
pounds, and junior Jordan

College this past football
season. Scola was also
named the NCAC’s “defensive player of the year,”
and was also chosen for
the NCAA Division III AllAmerican Team.
Nate led the 9-1 Wabash
College Little Giants with
72 total tackles, 23 of those
for losses, 8.5 sacks, two
forced fumbles and two
fumble recoveries. “T-Mac”
had 22 total tackles, 3.5

The Apache Junction girls

stretched their win streak to
four with victories over both
Coronado and McClintock
this past week. The Lady
Prospectors crushed Coronado 55-16 on Wednesday
and toppled McClintock 6229 on Friday. Both games
were away and individual
player statistics from the
games were not available at
press time.
This week, the Lady Prospectors will host Poston
Butte on Tuesday, January
21, and will also play at
Seton Catholic on Friday,
January 24. For both days,
the AJHS junior varsity will
play at 5:30 p.m., followed
by the varsity at 7:00 p.m.
Following a lethargic firstquarter performance in
which they scored just four
points and trailed 10-4,

trying just about every tactic
they could think of during
the time out between periods to get their Panthers to
pick up their tempo versus

The coaches preached “effort” during the break and
boy did the Panthers players
respond.
With Derron Wallace leading the way, Imagine Prep
outscored Paragon Science

in quarter number three, and
cruised to a 55-24 victory,

played Combs to a 0-0 tie
this past week, before dropping a 6-0 decision to Queen
Creek, and a 6-0 decision at
Tempe, to finish the week
with a 3-10-1 overall record.
Combs came into Monday’s
match with an 8-4 record but
stellar defense by both teams
was the story. AJHS keeper
Codye Beyer came up with
a penalty-kick save in the final minute of regulation, and
in overtime, Apache Junction freshman Vie Luff was
awarded a penalty kick but
Combs’ keeper made that
save.
Also helping out at the defensive end were Brittany
Frix, Wacey Lloyd, Dani
Glass, Chasity Thurmond,
Erin Weaving, Haylea Erickson, Kendra Heninger and
Jocelyn Digos.

Local Happenings Policy Change
1. If you currently advertise with The News on a regular basis, your
“local happenings” listing can continue to run every week without
charge. Call 982-6397 for more details.
2. If you are a non-profit organization, your local happenings listing
(now limited to a five-line maximum) can run once a month for free.
You will need to establish the week you wish to run. It will be your
responsibility to notify us of any changes in your local happenings
listing, otherwise, the notice we have on file will be the one published.
Non-profit organizations are encouraged to limit their local happenings
listing to organization name, meeting dates, times and locations, and
a contact phone number to be able to stay within the allotted five-line
maximum.
3. The “local happenings” section is now available to both for-profit
and non-profit organizations. If you wish to run every week, or more
than once a month for non-profit (free listing) without also advertising
in the paper, the charge will be $4.00 per line, payable prior to your
notice running.
