Vivian Valenzuela

By Peter Else The SunZia Transmission project’s renewable energy claims always sounded too good to be true. In the four years since the project was rolled out to the public, the terms “fossil fuel” or even “non-renewable ener-gy” have been conspicuously absent from environmental re-view documents published by the Bureau of Land Manage-ment (BLM). Adorned with images of wind-powered gen-erators and solar panels, these documents told a glowing story about a project that will

stimulate the development of new energy resources, of which 81 to 94 percent would allegedly be renewable. BLM documents also stated that the project will likely re-sult in a net decrease in green-house gas emissions, will rescue southwestern states from the deadlines of achiev-ing their renewable energy standards, and will provide thousands of green jobs. The BLM’s contracted environmental firm, Envi-ronmental Planning Group, a company that has a long association with the main

SunZia keeps three green groups in supporting role; other groups waffle on SunZia project

project proponent, continued to embellish this story in federal documents and BLM presentations many months after evidence was submitted to the oversight agency that directly contradicted these claims, including the only economic feasibility study related to renewable energy

transmission that was submit-ted during the environmental review process. In the absence of a tax on carbon emissions, it re-ally isn’t rocket science to conclude that this particular project will benefit the energy marketing needs associated with the current glut of natu-

ral gas as much as, if not more than, the marketing and trans-mission needs of renewable energy resources. How have they gotten away with this propaganda for so long? One of the reasons is that the BLM received sup-port from several influential environmental groups, which gave them sufficient political cover to ignore contradictory evidence that was submitted long before the draft EIS was released. Overemphasizing renewable energy benefits made it much easier for the BLM to use the most influential periods of the environmental review process to mute critics while appear-ing to fulfill their bureaucratic directive to keep this project on the fast track to approval.

Selection of a project for fast track status is partly criteria-based, partly political. In this case, SunZia’s project man-ager, Tom Wray, was success-ful in soliciting statements of support from several environ-mental groups and convincing key decision makers in Wash-ington that SunZia was almost a purely renewable energy project. In testifying before a Con-gressional subcommittee, Mr. Wray conveniently ignored the first two years of his proj-ect’s history, prior to when it was repackaged as a renew-able energy project by adding a wind energy appendage to a route that had previously been focused on the resources ad-jacent to the El Paso Natural

Gas Line in the southern part of Arizona and New Mexico. At this time, there is no compelling economic incen-tive to build the wind energy segment of the route. Even if it is ever built, the proportion of renewable energy develop-ment will come nowhere near its inflated estimate in the draft EIS. In a recent presentation to the Tohono O’odham Legisla-tive Council, the BLM’s Gila District Director acknowl-edged that this is the case, but that obvious message has not yet affected actions in the higher echelons of the over-sight agency. To add insult to environ-mental injury, this project was circuitously routed through both New Mexico’s and Ari-zona’s major avian flyways and associated wild lands. You could not have chosen a more impactful route though this region if you tried. And, the proponents have made it very clear that they will not be satisfied with anything other than their original (and least expensive) preferred route, one that bi-sects the confluence of three designated wilderness areas in the Aravaipa region and violates the BLM directive to co-locate new infrastructure with existing lines or cor-ridors to the highest degree possible among all the route alternatives. The resulting route looks like a sine wave: rambling from central New Mexico to the southwest, paralleling the

Rio Grande flyway for over 100 miles, crossing the Rio Grand near a National Wild-life Refuge, then proceeding westward for 150 miles while siting all three of its inter-mediate access substations along a major natural gas line, and then cutting to the north-west to avoid following the path of development through Tucson, while instead passing across the Galiuro wilderness zone and the lower San Pedro conservation corridor. It is astonishing that some environmental groups are still either actively or passively facilitating this absurd situa-tion, particularly since there are more responsible project proposals available in the region for upgrading the grid and developing renewable energy resources. This situation demonstrates the trend of certain groups placing more emphasis on proving that they are good team players with politically postured corporate project proposals than on using objec-tive third party information to assess the proposal’s environ-mental costs and benefits. The motives for the former approach are the subject of great concern within the en-vironmental community. Sev-eral of the groups mentioned in this letter are jockeying for position as grand bargainers at the national level. Which environmental groups have been facilitating the ap-proval of a project that will significantly increase green-house gas emissions while introducing a new industrial-scale infrastructure path in our rapidly disappearing wilder-ness zones? Here is a list of

the main project sympathiz-ers, along with some of their contributions to this debacle so far. First is the Sonoran Institute (SI), based in Tucson, Ari-zona. SI’s John Shepard co-hosted an environmental roundtable in 2010 and endorsed the renewable energy claims of the project, on the basis that it was routed through several qualified resource zones and

was needed to fulfill renew-able energy standards in southwestern states. Recently, Mr. Shepard published a re-port reinforcing the project’s renewable energy mantle, again mainly following the project’s original marketing strategy to focus renewable energy arguments on resource zones and renewable energy standards. While the report claims to address market and policy

factors affecting demand, it completely ignores previously published economic feasibil-ity modeling for transmission of renewable energy over high voltage lines in the Southwest. While the report claims to provide unbiased information, it neglected to address the most obvious and influential source of bias, the grossly exaggerated renewable energy development forecast in the BLM’s environmental review

documents. Also, while the report claims to use cred-ible sources, it relied on the opinions of SunZia’s project manager to support its weak argument that the project is necessary to meet renewable energy standards, an argument that has long been discredited. By collaborating in the preparation of this report with the original “team” members of three environmental groups

asked the council to look into creating an economic development board/com-mittee. She talked about the Tribal Casino that will be developed off Highway 77 between Central Arizona College and Dudleyville.

She also argued more people are moving to Mammoth and businesses are interested in the area, proposing the committee be made up of Mammoth citizens.

The Town will be posting the criteria for those that are interested. They would like to have a committee in place within 30 days.

The Senior Citizens will be allowed to sponsor a monthly Farmers Market/

Swap Meet at the Miner’s Memorial on Highway 77. Lynn Zeiler has been talk-ing with vendors from Tuc-son and they have shown an interest in participating.

The Mammoth Commu-nity Swap Meet is sched-uled to be held on Friday, Mar. 1 and Saturday, Mar. 2 from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. at the Miner’s Memorial. A vendors spot will cost $5 for each day of registration.

Francis Wickham also announced at the meeting that people can get their income taxes done for free at the Mammoth Town Hall on Feb. 27 and on Mar. 13 and 27 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

At the beginning of the meeting, a question was asked about the property

the Town was purchasing at 337 Highway 77. The purchase has been com-pleted and the Town will continue renting out the buildings. The businesses currently located at the ad-dress are Michoacana’s and Mi Pueblito Tortilleria.

Public Works Director David Garcia as well as Mammoth Fire Department representative Rick San-chez spoke to the Council about a relocation site for the helicopter emergency landing zone, which was later approved. It will now be at the soccer fields be-hind the Fresenius Medical Center off Highway 77.

The new site will allow for more helicopters to land safely if needed. The old site was at the cemetery.

Town of Mammoth to create economic development board

By Mila Besich-Lira On Feb. 14, LD-1Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick (D) and LD-4 Rep. Paul Gosar (R) introduced the Southeast Arizona Land Exchange and Conservation Act, H.R. 687. The bill would provide Resolution Copper the land that the company needs to further develop the mine while protecting over 5000 acres of high value conservations lands in Arizona. It is expected that Senators McCain and Kyle will also introduce the bill into the Senate. Arizona House Members Matt Salmon (R, LD-5), David Schweikert (R, LD-6), and Trent Franks (R, LD-8) all supported the legislation as original co-sponsors. The four other democratic members of

Bi-partisan Resolution Copper Land Exchange reintroduced

the Arizona Congressional delegation have not signed on to the bill at this time. The Resolution Copper Mine near Superior, Ariz., is one of the largest known undeveloped copper deposits in the world. The proposed land exchange would consolidate Resolution’s

ownership of the land where the mine will be developed and operate. In return, Resolution Copper would place high-quality conservation lands in Arizona currently owned by the company back into the public trust. Kirkpatrick said her

a drill held on Monday, Feb. 11, by the Oracle Fire Department to test the readiness of their CERT Team in what would be a most difficult scenario, who will show up and what to do when all first responders are down.

The Community Emergency Response Team is a group of volunteers who have completed a number of classes designed to teach skills in first aid, safety procedures incident assistance and other venues that would help the Oracle Fired Department and the community.

CERTs may help in the office or respond to a non-hazardous emergency to assist the first responders.

The drill was not announced ahead of time and Oracle firefighters played the roles of the injured firemen to make the drill as realistic as possible. The CERT was forced to become the first responders as all the firefighters were incapacitated.

The incident scenario included injuries to the firefighters which included a dead firefighter, shock, spinal injury, unconscious, and a walking wounded patient.

“CERT teams promptly and efficiently identified the most critical patients and treated them for life threatening injuries such as bleeding and shock” said Fire Chief Larry Southard. “All objectives of this drill were met.”

The objectives included dispatch procedures, forming into two- and three-person response teams, locating the incident scene, size-up, triage, treating injuries and handing off patients to arriving EMS crews.

“Our CERTS have worked very hard to

achieve the training level that they have, and this drill really showed what a valuable asset they are to the Oracle Fire Department and to the community,” Southard said.

Doug Johnson, Captain OFD CERT said the crew hoped to learn of any weaknesses and shortcomings through this drill. “We were pleasantly surprised to

see the drill actually became a showcase of our strengths,” Johnson said. “The team demonstrated no major areas in need of improvement. We need to maintain the level of service and response as demonstrated in this drill.”

He thanked the firefighters in participating in the drill. “They role-played extremely well and under especially cold

conditions while lying on the ground or sitting outdoors for a long period of time.”

The temperature during the drill was around 38 degrees. It snowed later in the evening.

Ongoing classes are taken annually by CERT members to update and improve their skills. They are there to assist the Oracle Fire department anyway they can. “Oracle CERT is the only group of its kind in Pinal County” said Doug Johnson.

Firefighters that participated as victims in the scenario were: Beau Houston, Bubba Matthews, Albert Ortiz Jr., Gilbert Seballos, and Jared Ortiz.

Although this scenario may never play out in the community, other similar types of disasters could occur that would call upon the CERT to assist as first responders.

FLORENCE, AZ – Last week, Pinal County Assessor Douglas Wolf delivered the 2013 official report of property values to the Pinal County Budget office. The number for 2013 was slightly over

$18 billion, a decline of over $900 million from last year’s figure of $18.9 billion. The total for 2013 also included $364.7 million in new construction. There were 247,931 parcels

Assessor delivers 2013 property values abstract to Pinal Countyand accounts in this year’s report compared to 247,526 in 2012. As required by state law, the values for 2013 were based on real estate sales from 2010 and 2011. Property values were still weak for those years, which accounts in part for the decline of the 2013

abstract. “While we are currently seeing some recovery in the housing sector, the 2013 Abstract of Value does not reflect that because the law requires us to go back in time to determine value. We do anticipate some price recovery to show up in

the 2014 Notices of Value, which will be mailed out to property owners this month,” stated Mr. Wolf. Pinal County and local taxing authorities within the county plan their budgets for the year ahead based on the 2013 Abstract of Values that was released last week.

Soloist Xiao performs through-out the world and has released critically acclaimed recordings. A native of China and graduate of Shanghai Conservatory, she is associate professor of music at the University of Arizona. She’s collaborated with renowned art-ists, including cellist Yo-Yo Ma and violinists Joseph Silverstein and Cho-Liang Lin. Soprano Christi Amonson is

Community residents braved Saturday’s cold weather and snow to tour Biosphere 2 as part of the Pushing the Limits

program. This program was organized by the Mammoth Public Library and was funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation.

Pushing the Limits is a

program for adults served by rural libraries. It is a reading, viewing and discussion program offered to the community. The Mammoth Library has pushed the limits a little

further, adding workshops and fi eld trips to the schedule of events.

Linda Leigh, one of the original designers of Biosphere 2, helped lead the science tour along with other guides. Linda spent two years sealed inside the Biosphere 2 experimental environment.

Library Director Diana Stirling has organized a number of program events for Pushing the Limits. The programs are centered on four themes: connection, nature, knowledge and survival.

For each theme, there is

a suggested book title to be used for a discussion. Scientist Linda Leigh will join the informal gatherings to discuss the book and topic.

The programs tell about humans pushing their limits in extraordinary ways. Special interest videos include stories about a triple amputee athlete, competitors in a demolition derby, an artist and adobe builder, and a celebrity chef.

The remaining schedule for Pushing the Limits activities is listed below. Registration for any or all

of the events is still open. All the programs are free but pre-registration must happen at least one week before the event. Attendees do not have to be a reader to attend any of the events.

The programs are for adults and children 16 and over. To register, contact Mammoth Public Library at (520) 487-2026. Leave a message including name, number, the name of the event(s) and the number of people attending.

Register online at their website, Library.TownofMammoth.us. The library is located at 125 N. Clark Street.

at 1995 West American Avenue.Last September the

Oracle Women’s Network (OWN) sponsored a community fundraiser called The Taste of Oracle. The event raised almost $3000 and the funds were designated to create a visitors center for the tri-community. OWN has

achieved the beginnings of their vision and have formed a small community of volunteers working toward this goal.Adrian Darimont has

agreed to give the group a special rental agreement in his Village Square building. They will share a space that includes Adrian’s resale shop.The Tri-Community

and locals. The resources will

include not only business information, but information regarding the Arizona Trail, community events, local groups, organizations and churches. Volunteers are needed to

man the visitors center and can sign up now for three-hour time slots. If you have a business, or if you are involved in an organization in the Tri-Community, please call Sue Parra at 896-9200, or Sedona Sunrise at 400-8250 to get involved, volunteer your time or to get your information in the visitors center.

By Ashley Madrid and Rebecca VargasMrs. Vargas’ 6th Grade For our science project, we are working on little solar kits. There are many solar kits with different solar powered objects to build. We have built a Viking boat, a frightened cricket, and

an attacking inch worm. We put different materials on the objects, such as plastic, foil, scotch tape, paper towels, and plastic tubs, to see how this would affect the power of the solar panels on each object. The objects move along as they are being powered by the sun. We

counted down a minute using an iPod. The observations we make are based on the movement and comparisons of the objects’ movements as we try different materials. So far, we are halfway done with the project. We still are in a working project and we

are having so much fun with it. Hopefully with our data and presentation, we will succeed in the Southern Arizona Regional Science and Engineering Fair in Tucson in March. There will also be a Science Expo at the Central Arizona College where we will all show our projects.

By Julie Garcia, Aly Alvarez and Mackenzie Yubeta We are doing a science project about mealworm larva. Mealworms eat bran and apple. Mealworms can walk backwards!! They are black when they die. Mealworms are lightish yellow and don’t move when they become a pupa. When they come out of the pupa they will turn into a black beetle. We are seeing how many mealworm larvae stay alive and turn into pupae. We are putting different

By Mason Stewart, Jose Cervantes, Ethan Kellam and Kayla Ortega The fi rst graders made a seed germination experiment. We got a little plastic cup and put a wet paper towel and seeds in it. Then we kept it wet and watched for germination and growth. In September we put the cups in different places – under a reptile light, in a desk, up in the window and outside. The seeds did best in the window. In October we put them all in the window and used soap, lemon juice, hand sanitizer and soap were bad (poisonous). Now we’re making solutions of two cups of water mixed with different amounts of lemon juice, soap and hand sanitizer to see how much of the liquid is poisonous.

We have observed the slices for 35 days and so far the most germs are growing on the computer slice. The germs turn red, pink, green, and black. We draw, read, and write about them. Looking at them in the microscope is fun and then we draw them again.

Pastor Nathan Hogan

and with three of the project proponents (the project man-ager and two of the utility partners), and by not consid-ering contradicting perspec-tives and documentation that had emerged during the NEPA process, the renewable energy justification in this report is a narrowly focused rehash of previous talking points, one that makes a very speculative stretch to come to its conclusions and its press release summary. Thus, this report suffered

from the pitfalls of the group-think phenomenon. Norm Meader, of the Cascabel Working Group, is currently preparing a comprehensive response to the Sonoran Insti-tute report. The other two environmental groups acknowledged in the preparation of the Sonoran Institute report follow. The Wilderness Society (TWS), based in Washing-ton, D.C. I met Alex Daue, an af-fable member of TWS’s Denver-based BLM Ac-tion Center, at the 2010 roundtable in Tucson. He

was the co-host for this event. He had helped to roll out the SunZia project in 2009, along with a rep from WildEarth Guardians (http://www.sunzia.net/documents_pdfs/wilder-ness_wildearth_support_ltr.pdf). At the 2010 meeting, Mr. Daue made it clear that he “really wanted to find a route for this project,” even though the only routes he considered feasible were the alternatives that passed through southern Arizona’s last remaining major ri-parian zone, an important

conservation corridor that already contained over 144,000 acres of land in conservation status due to off-site mitigation of infrastructure and develop-ment impacts that had taken place in the nearby growth region called the Sun Cor-ridor. Mr. Daue reasoned that there were marvelous miti-gation methods available in this modern world, such as helicopter placement of towers and a cable car type maintenance system that could be suspended from the powerlines’ towers

(What?). However, when it came to discussing why the proj-ect was needed in the first place, he did not seem to understand how the propo-nents could be so confident in claiming that the pro-posed transmission project would primarily enable the development of renewable energy resources, stating that grid planning is “com-plicated.” He tended to defer to John Shepard on this issue. Right then, I realized that despite his enthusiastic desire to find a route for SunZia, this young man didn’t know much more about the proj-ect than I did. I set about with others to do some de-tailed research. Despite subsequently receiving reams of infor-mation that contradict the Disneyland version of the SunZia project, TWS re-fused to call for the No Action alternative and instead has joined with the other groups mentioned in this section to make their minimum plea for action be a supplemental EIS that would detail mitigation strategies for whatever preferred route is ultimately selected by the BLM (see section IV of their draft EIS comments):http://nmeader.com/sunzia/route/submis-

sions/TWS%20and%20Partners%20SunZia%20DEIS%20Comments%208-22-12.pdf Although TWS and their partners expressed “seri-ous concerns” in draft EIS comments about the rela-tive amount of renewable energy that would be devel-oped, the recent Sonoran Institute report continued to ignore relevant eco-nomic feasibility modeling and other contravening evidence that was given to them long before the report was completed. Given that TWS and part-ners, immediately follow-ing the 2010 roundtable, were involved in coaching the BLM in how to bolster renewable energy cred-ibility in their statements of purpose and need for the proposed project (http://wilderness.org/sites/default/files/Sunzia-Supplemental-Scoping-Comments.pdf), it brings into question the motives and legitimacy of their role in the mitigation issue. These groups drank too much of the proponents’ Kool-Aid. John Muir must be trembling in his grave.The remainder of this editorial will be published in next week’s Miner, or you can go online to www.copperarea.com to read it sooner.

By Chaille McGrewChairpersonSan Manuel Library Board The San Manuel Library’s Board of Trustees election was recently held. Two positions on the board were up for election. Incumbent Ronnie Butler was reelected and Raymond Verne Fischer

was also elected. The Board of Trustees makes it possible for the library to continue operating so we would like to thank these two individuals for being willing to donate their time and effort so we in the community can enjoy the privilege of having a local library.

vision for Arizona is a diversifi ed and stable economy, arguing the Superior mine fi ts into that vision and is critical to the communities and constituents in her district. “It will provide jobs, economic development and a stronger foundation for their future,” Kirkpatrick said. “I am committed to using the legislative process to advance this project and represent outstanding concerns, and I look forward to working with Congressman Gosar and the Arizona delegation to ensure the Superior Mine fi nally moves forward.” Gosar argued the project would create over 3,700 high-paying jobs, increase U.S. energy and mineral independence, and preserve some of rural Arizona’s most beautiful natural lands. “Even though this common sense proposal has overwhelming bipartisan support across our state, it has been held up for years by trivial political bickering in Washington,” he said. “Those needless delays have cost hundreds of rural Arizonans their jobs.” The most recent version of the bill, introduced by Gosar last year, was defeated in the Senate before the holiday recess

at the end of the 2012 session.“Congresswoman Kirkpatrick and I will build on last year’s successes in the House, work closely with Senators Flake and McCain in the Senate, and fi nally get this land exchange across the fi nish line,” Gosar said. Bruce Richardson, spokesperson for Resolution Copper, said the project would equally benefi t his company and the public. “These conservation lands were hand-picked with the help of conservation groups and federal and state agencies,” Richardson said. “This includes lands that would become part of the Las Cienegas National Conservation Area and the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area.” The Southeast Arizona Land Exchange and Conservation act has been introduced into Congress ten times over the past eight years. Both Kirkpatrick and Gosar introduced land exchange bills during their previous terms in Congress. The project and the exchange continue to be opposed by the San Carlos Apache Tribe and several environmental groups. Kirkpatrick said these groups should be part of the discussion. “I believe their voices should be heard during this process,” she said.

quintets and solo works, plus numerous songs and choral compositions. Rappaccini’s Daughter is his third of seven operas. It’s a re-telling of a short story by Nathaniel Hawthorne about a medical researcher in 18th century Padua who grows a garden of poisonous plants and brings up his daughter to tend the plants. Eventually she

becomes resistant to the poi-sons, and, as a result, becomes poisonous to others. Gustav Mahler was born in Bohemia when it was still part of the Austrian Empire and at-tended the Vienna Conservatory and Vienna University. Mahler was primarily a conductor much of his career. His music is more appreciated today than in his own time. The Symphony No. 4 in G major is perhaps his most popular. Lightly scored and playful, it opens with sleigh

bells, includes a devilish violin solo and ends with a child’s song about heaven, sung by Amonson. This program will be per-formed twice – Saturday, Feb. 23 at 7:30 p.m. at the Desert-View Performing Arts Center, 39900 S. Clubhouse Dr. in SaddleBrooke – and Sunday, Feb. 24 at 3 p.m. at St. An-drew’s Presbyterian Church, 7575 N. Paseo del Norte. At the St. Andrews concert, tickets are complimentary students age 17 or younger. Tickets to the SaddleBrooke concert are $21 in advance or

$23 at the door. Order them on-line at http://tickets/saddlebroo-ketwo.com or call 825-2818. Tickets to the St. Andrews concert are $20 in advance or at the door. Order online at www.sasomusic.org or call 308-6226.

Seventh grader Demetria Carter finished in fourth place at the Pinal County Spell-ing Bee out of 62 competing students. Joining her in the competition were fifth grader Hunter Parry and sixth grader Taya Dockum. All three Mammoth-San Manuel schools gathered a spelling club. Each club then hosted a school bee, and then those winners competed on Jan. 25 in the Mammoth-San Manuel Unified School Dis-trict Spelling Bee. Parry won first place, Carter second and Dockum third, all of whom attended the County Bee.The first alternate was eighth grader Brittney Anaya, seventh grader Elizabeth Gonzalez and fourth grader Star Chavez. The three M-SM schools are First Avenue Elementary in San Manuel, Mammoth Elementary STEM School and San Manuel Junior High. Denise Fisher is the District Coordinator. Ms. Aguirre coached at 1st Ave., Mrs. Messing coached at the STEM, and Fisher coached at the Jr. High. This is the first time in a long time that there was a spelling bee held at M-SM schools, according to Fisher.
