Beautiful. Thank you.

Wonderful~ and heartfelt… that is why I love the quilts with the stuffing coming out of them. ~It just means that they were loved even more!! ~I miss Ralph too, thank-you for the sil story… lovin’ u!!

At least you should look at thecca360.com web site and get a second point of view. Journalism is to be balanced and at least getting the other side of the story should be in the cards.

Dang, Darin. I had to look up “excoriate” in the dictionary.
Fry’s has a nice array of Hanes socks, undies and undershirts. I understand Hanes socks are made in North Carolina.

What a refreshing meeting at the State Capitol yesterday!

It was refreshing to speak with elected officials who understand the democratic principles of representation and respecting the voices of their constituents.

This private prison issue here in Globe should have been resolved shortly after Sept. 13, when citizens opposed presented a compelling case to Globe City Council. At that time, 1000+ citizens had signed a petition asking Council to pass a Resolution opposing any prison project for our community. Instead, the half dozen or so local officials advocating a private prison dug in stubbornly, ignored citizen opposition, and attempted to confuse the public. This sort of response from local ‘leaders’ is quite inexplicable.

I have always believed that substantial ‘people power’ could stop any prison project. What was refreshing about yesterday’s meeting at the State Capitol, was hearing the emphatic statements from State officials that validated my belief. The AZDOC, nor State Senators, have any interest whatsoever in siting a prison in a community where there is substantial opposition.

If there was ever a community that has demonstrated substantial opposition — it is Globe.

Think about this for a second. The local jail pays guards $29,000. The State Prison starts them out at $31,000. The Private Prisons who SAY they save the State money by spending less money to incarcerate prisoners necessarily pay LESS than State-run prisons. I suspect you are getting your $43,000 from the private prison operators themselves? That would be called a sales-pitch. The facts simply do not bear out. Guards at these facilities make LESS MONEY and have little or no training.

And while we’re on the subject…companies from Freeport McMoran to Walmart have a terrible time filling job positions! Not because of a lack of applicants. But because no one can pass a drug test. And we think we’re going to staff a prison with 1000 inmates and $13/hour guards which will come from a job pool which has baffled Walmart? And this is a good plan?

Yeah, greeaaat plan!

Every time I hear that story about the family with the broken down car, it gets embellished. As far as Danko’s generosity is concerned, it is more overbrown than factual. I suspect that the family, of Mexican decent, was scaring away customers from the Copper Hills as, unfortunately, a lot of prejudice still exists in some of these small towns.

Danko had to get rid of them somehow. What better way than to fix their car so that they could leave. He put them up overnight because it takes time to do transmissions. If you want to call that generous, fine. He was generous when he benefitted also.

Like the time he poured money into his sister’s deteriorating house. He supposedly did this to “help” her. Of course, an important detail in this altruistic act was the fact that his name was also on the deed. How it got there is open to speculation as the secret died with him. If someone tells me that he would have spent the money on repairs and improvements without his name on the deed, then I would have some prime Florida real estate to sell them.

I received a telephone call one evening from a local hospital. It seems that our generous benefactor was slow in paying his hospital bill. Apparently they thought maybe some of his wealth rubbed off on me. Well, I redirected them back to the rightful debtor. Apparently there is no glory is giving large amounts of money to people you owe.

In fact, the more insistent they were, the more resistant he became. He even went to the extreme of skillfully avoiding arrest in the State of California in order to get out of paying some traffic tickets.

Obviously, Danko was a complex man. He was, by no means, a tightwad. I ate and slept at his house, as well as at his hotel and restaurant. He once had a chance encounter with my dad (his brother) in downtown Phoenix. During their conversation, he gave my father a $100 bill as a gift. Later, my dad gave it to me.

So I tell it like it was, both the good and the bad. To his surviving family I say this: You know where you can find me. Also, I’ll tell you this: When I was alone one night shortly after his death, I wept (God is my witness).

Love your way with words, Darin…

Great story! I have all my old ones and my mother gave me a buch of old ones too! All those we made thru the years have wonderful memories also.

Really lovely article, Darin. I was home in Michigan last Christmas and got to pull out that box with the yellowed tissue paper and exclaim over those the 1950 glass delights!

Out of the 350 postcards sent out how many responses have actually come back? I have talked with approximately 40 people who are local citizens and they don’t have any objections to the private prison coming in.

Hello DCOX.

Your information above is incorrect.

Actually, over 350 post cards from registered voters have already been returned. Just ask Councilwoman Uhl. She had the opportunity to read over a hundred comments, from the post cards returned from voters in her District. And, thus far, we have mailed post cards to less than 1/3 of Globe’s registered voters! By the time we are finished, we estimate that we will have over 1,200 signed post cards from registered voters in Globe — exactly the same number that voted for Mayor in the last election. We have just begun!
Additionally, we have gathered over 2,000 petition signatures. And, here’s a startling number — guess how many post cards were mailed back that had a PRO-Prison comment? ONE, yes — precisely ONE. We will be happy to share with you, just as we did with Mr. Charles Ryan, Director of AZDOC and Senators Allen & Pearce.

No doubt you have spoken with 40 people who do not oppose a private prison coming to Globe. So have we. Approx. 20 of those are local officials, EDC Members etc!

However, the important point is that a substantial portion of our community (such as @ 25 merchants on Broad St.) are opposed to a prison project. It is past time for elected leaders to LISTEN to their constituents, and it is time for the EDC to focus on bringing true private enterprise projects that will contribute to the quality of life of our community.

Oh, and finally — please prepare a list of specific concerns, challenges etc. to any of the information we have published or distributed over the past 5 months. We stand by our facts. But, we are also willing to make any correction to the record if it is warranted. Please, show us your specific concerns. Thank you.

Jim…Linda was kind enough to pass on the invitation for reviewing the cards, etc. I would definately like to take you up on that; however, I would first like to get the information back that I have already requested from various sources so that we can have a conversation with the info that I am attempting to obtain. Thanks again, and I look forward to an informative evening.

Isn’t soliciting signatures from minors unlawful? At the very least, most states mandate that only registered voters can sign petitions that effect government issues. Also, would it be possible to have a list of citations for the information in your notebook? Since you stand by your facts I’d be curious to know of their origins.

Jim:
What rumors? I asked a couple of questions to the person who seems to have the most information on the situation. I have seen the notebook and am not curious about that level of information. I’d like to see the links and citations to the original material you’ve used so I can make an informed decision as a voter. I’m concerned that asking to see your work means I’ve jumped to conclusions and warrants your defensive posture.

I’ve been waiting on responding here, as I have been waiting for a response from Mr. Moss and trying to provide him with a reasonable amount of time in which to do so. Indeed, Ms. Gross, as publisher and editor you are responsible for the information published on your site; here I have only asked Mr. Moss to provide his sources for the publication he supplied, as well as the relevant permission to reproduce those works. That is all, as I was unable to obtain a list of citations for that information when I reviewed the “Notebook” myself. As I’ve said, I do not support the prison project in any way so I am not sure where your comments regarding information supporting the project were aimed. For information regarding that argument, I would contact the relevant companies and those individuals who are supportive of such a project, just as in these efforts to understand aspects of the no-prison argument I am reaching out for information from those who are its’ leading proponents’. I would be hesitant to say that your sources are not equally vested in their own position. I still have questions regarding the purpose of the petition, as without safeguards in place there is no way to ascertain that any of those signatures were from individuals with legitimate interests or more representative of the political nature of those who were present when the opportunity to sign presented itself. It is one thing to claim that you have the signatures of 2,500 registered voters in Globe or Gila County and another entirely to say that you’ve collected 2,500 signatures in opposition to the prison project, which is what would be more accurate based on what I have seen here and heard in regards to the rather open manner that signatures were accepted. If there is evidence to the contrary, then I welcome the opportunity to review it – but I don’t believe that I should be coerced in order to have access to that information, or the resources used in producing the argument made against a for-profit prison. One last observation: while Mr. Lowery and Mr. Moss appear in large font on the right side your website, Mr. Zache’s name is absent; so is any reference to the EDC or SGCEDC, leaving the combined absence of reference material contained herein remarkably conspicuous. When I searched for him, I found his articles taken out of context and addressed in a selective manner; I do not consider this to be posting both sides of the issue in a fair manner, but positing an editorial response to his articles that were written in another paper. If Mr. Zache had been an active participant in the discussion, it would be a different story, but at no time does his name appear other than in small citations within the article itself. As a result, it does not seem that a balanced discussion has taken place but that a platform established to share a specific opinion on the situation. Even in agreement with not having the prison here in principle, I still have issue in that the manner in which the conversation has happened seems more like a loaded gun instead of handled in an even fashion, and as a result those who might have had an objection or observation are instead discouraged from even making the attempt for fear of reprisal.

Regarding Pearce and Allen, it may be a matter that between us, I do not agree that the ends justify the means, especially in this case. More to point, to hitch one’s wagon to the same horses that enacted some of the most questionable legislation in Arizona’s history (and that’s saying something) in SB70 is not something I’m comfortable with. That is another discussion, though, as we get into the roles of the state versus the role of the federal government. The article you cited is a prime example of political malfeasance, regardless of whether it has been considered acceptable procedure or behavior in the past. If the argument is sound, as the water and sewage argument appeared to have been with concrete figures, projections based on a variety of different usage models, and an unbiased viewpoint, then I have no problem with it. While I’ve seen some information regarding the effects of property values and crime rates (in aggregate) and would welcome more in depth and complete information, I have not been impressed by comments made by no-prison proponents that suggest that people associated with for-profit prisons are inherently inferior instead of sticking to the relevant data. Something that has gone unsaid here is that this issue is being given a NIMBY approach; rather than address the laws and individuals responsible for creating the need for another prison, the problem is simply being pushed from Globe to another community. That doesn’t sound like responsible behavior to me, and it concerns me that it is acceptable with some people to pass this off to another location.

To simply things, why not provide a bibliography as well as a list of other sources utilized? That way, a private individual such as myself is able to make an well-reasoned decision for ourselves. While we are not in disagreement on the issue, I am concerned in how it was handled and where some of the information came from as it appeared more intent on filling the reader with fear than with information.

This is a public forum, Mr. Moss – and as such, whether it is my own name or a pseudonym is not relevant, since it is the content of the discussion that is significant and not the individuals who are making them that are important. From what I’ve read thus far, you do not appear interested in any sort of dialogue as your comments have consistently dismissed the opinions of others without substantiation while also refusing to answer the questions being put to you. What were your sources, and was authorization given by the authors? Given your background in education, I am surprised that you do not recognize the importance of and necessity for a bibliography and getting permission to reproduce material written by others before distributing it. If my comments are off-base then why have you said nothing in response other than to keep repeating to search Google? As I’ve said previously, I have done my own research but I’m always interested in getting as complete a picture as possible before making up my mind on a subject. Is there an issue in asking you to provide your sources? And given that it appears that there has not been oversight in regards to this ‘petition’ that has been circulated, is it appropriately disclaimed on the document itself to make that clear to both those reading it and to those signing it, whether they be private citizens or public officials? While I appreciate the effort made in asking me to come to your place of business, I don’t have any interest in doing so. At the risk of repeating myself, I am asking you to simply substantiate yourself in public by requesting your sources so that I can independently research them myself. If I am off-base, then I invite you to publicly answer and explain why. If you have nothing to hide, why have you continued to refuse and evade such simple and direct requests?

To this point, the best argument made against placing a for-profit prison here would be the same reason to argue not to put another State facility or other commercial undertaking of the same scope: doing so would put such an undue demand on the local infrastructure (water and sewage) that it would ultimately destroy Globe’s ability to continue to grow and evolve over time. If the numbers provided were accurate, and to this point they have been consistent with what I’ve found elsewhere, then there is no reason for the discussion to continue as to keep on that path would ultimately be self-destructive.

To ‘An Observer’… are you plant, vegetable or mineral?

It’s difficult to take anyone seriously when they can’t even put their name to what they say and how they feel…
it’s a simple part of engaging in an open and honest dialog. I put my name (and my picture) on everything I stand for…
maybe there’s some risk involved, but how else will I stand up and be heard and understood?

Join the club, Kiddo, and come forward!

One last thing, as to demanding for people to give their names online, this is an identity theft security risk. Continually badgering people to give away identifying information online is called Phishing. And it’s illegal.

In reply to Mr. Moss’ and Mr. Lowery’s comments above – Thanks, but no thanks. My personal privacy is important to me, and something that I will continue to protect. That you are interested in being the figurehead(s) behind a movement you believe in is perhaps to your own credit, but it is not of interest to me and certainly doesn’t make it incumbent upon me to do the same. No one made you register under your own name, and nothing requires me to supply that information either. If someone chose, they could easily take one of your images, your name, and post under your guise saying anything they please, anywhere they like – being in that position is not something that interests me. What should matter to you is that I am a long-time Globe resident and a registered voter… not whether I am a potential customer or my position in the community. I will thank you, Mr. Moss, for the single source which you have chosen to provide, but I am thoroughly disappointed that you are either unable or unwilling to publicly provide a complete list of your resources. Despite your continued insistence, the ‘notebook’ that I read did not contain a bibliography so that I could refer to what you excerpted in its’ original context, much less any indication of permission given to reprint. As an individual, I don’t believe you speak for me as a citizen, and the manner in which you treat people is certainly something that I would not support under any means. As a resident, I am embarrassed by the behavior of Mr. Moss in his exchange with others and myself in this thread – people have asked questions of him, not hurled accusations. No answers have been forthcoming. I appreciate the opportunity provided to ask, nonetheless, and will continue to discuss the matter with others and make up my own mind.

Great article- and here’s the update: we’ve been collecting signatures right and left, and
the petition drive is going extremely well. We can always use some help, though-
readers can sign petitions at the Pickle Barrel or United Jewelry, and if you’re
civic minded and want to make a difference, please volunteer to carry a petition
and get some signatures! Call Darin at 200-8553 and we’ll set you up in a heartbeat.

Thanks one and all- now let’s get this issue settled once and for all!

I admire what Mr. Moss and the people against this proposal have accomplished. I happen to be for the prison but I feel a vote on the issue is what is best for Globe.
Congratulations on all you have achieved thus far.

well said Linda

“Sabotage” ?? “Playing Games” ??

We are fortunate here in Globe to have Mayor Shipley and our town council as it stands. They have done great things for our community and many of us applaud their efforts. It will be a real pleasure to have the opportunity to vote for them again in a few months time.
Thank you Globe town council.
One of many un-named supporters.

And by the way, let me address the anonymous question. I advertise with GMT. I shop at Mr. Moss’ store and many others including Simply Saras and Mr. Palmers bakery. I would like to keep it that way.

I’m with what you say Tom. We are dying a slow death.

I certainly hope the Copper Spike Excursion will be allowed to continue under the new railway owners. Opportunities to experience train travel are becoming more and more limited outside of the major East Coast markets–so having it available as part of a historic tour make the trip even more special.

You can tell a lot about a town, they say, by looking at its architecture. No doubt, the old County Court house is Globe’s crowning jewel, as the heart of Gila County’s seat of government. But when you think about it, historically speaking, if the County Seat is Globe’s heart, then that train depot is the dorsal aorta, for surely our cultural life flowed freely through it for some time. What other town would think nothing of having an active railroad track run down the center of the street in front of their City Hall?

The Copper Spike reminds us to look back and reflect on our grand past of affluence and boastful hope in the American Westward movement, “Go West, young man. Go West!” We can use that hope in these troubled times.

I have many memories in that old building. I worked in the old train depot during the days that Greyhound Lines leased it. I was just a kid of 14 -16, but I was old enough to work alone planning itineraries, selling tickets, meeting the arrivals and departing buses, handling the freight and baggage, and sending Western Union telegrams and money orders. No, it wasn’t in the “glory days,” of the train, but the spirit was still there.

Kip Culver understands feels this spirit too, and has worked hard to keep that artery of life open, not only by restoring the depot back to its former grandeur, but also in promoting the Copper Spike Excursion. True, it increases the local economic flow through tourism, but Ah! There’s nothing like a consistent train’s whistle to resuscitate Globe’s “can-do” spirit! Don’t you agree?

Hi Dawn. THANKS for adding to our outline of La Santa Cruz de la Globe and including others who need to be recognized. It IS a testament to the many who came together to do this. Thanks again, L

I love hiking round mountain. We like to pack lunch and take our family (5 kid total) and hike and have our lunch at the picnic tables near the top. If you haven’t been to the top, it should definitely be on your bucket list, beautiful view.

Darin,
I am so sorry to hear about Velma. What a great way to honor her life. I needed a kleenex.
Our dogs are an extension of us and our feelings. Funny how my dog likes someone I don’t and
how he doesn’t like some one I do. Go figure. They say trust your dog. I am still trying to figure that one out.
Love you and talk soon.

My deepest sympathy to Mr. Lertique’s family and friends. My daughter and I were at the library 2 weeks ago “renting books” as she calls it and she asked him if we could live on mars, He said, so serious, We do live on mars!! What a wonderful sense of humor he had. Just yesterday we took flowers to my Mother at the cemetery and she asked her usual 4 year old questions. One being, “On your way to heaven Mommy can you stop by the planets and stars”? I told her “I didn’t see why not”! We will soon be returning our books and I know she will ask where the Library man is? I will tell her, “He had to go to heaven”. I smile knowing she will say with bright eyes, “I bet he stops at Mars!” Mr. Lertique made a Wonderful impression on me and my daughter, and I am forever grateful for that!! He will be greatly missed!!

I’ve worked with people from other counties that have made me appreciate being an American more. We are given unlimted opportunities to make our lives successful. People risk their lives daily to try to get those opportunities.

Our family is still in shock. She was an amazing woman and made such a difference in many people’s lives. She will be missed by many. She is now an angel in Heaven just like she was here on earth! We love you. Jane.

I remember you well from school,Westwood High in Mesa.You were always kind and had such a sweet smile for everyone.I can still remember seeing your beautiful face and lovely long hair,you glowed.Even though I didn’t know you really well,I felt you were my friend.It is sad that you have left us,my heart aches for your family and friends……..but, I know you are in heaven with our Heavenly Father.You were a special lady Jane!! Your classmates love you so much!! RIP dear friend.

I just went to the Arboretum for the bird walk last Saturday morning and it was amazing!! There was such an abundance of beautiful sights to admire and nature experts willing to share their vast knowledge. I will definitely have to return again soon!

hello, i have been trying to find a website or contact info for dale and Claire. I have been searching for an Apache buckskin for 2 years. If you have this information i would greatly appreciate this. Thank you Donna Padilla

Great lady, great story. One correction: “She frequently contributed her work to the Arizona Silver Belt, then called the Arizona Republic …” should be “then called the Arizona Record …”.

I was surfing net and frenutatoly came across this site and found very interesting stuff here. Its really fun to read. I enjoyed a lot. Thanks for sharing this wonderful information.

HI: My family came from Globe from the 1880s to about May of 1976 when ‘Aunt Bell Taft” passed away. The Edwards, the Crawfords, Sawyers, Maldonado, Moreno, Kellners and others. Although most everyone, except the Edwards are now, gone. I’ve been in Love with Globe for both of my parents were born there and later I used to drive my ‘Granie’ in the early 60s to visit Aunt Belle & many other old friends. It was truly a labor of Love…getting out of Phoenix was nice and easy and Globe was always cooler. Dad got a Scholarship to the “U” of Arizona for Basketball & Football from Globe High and then into the Army Air Corps / USAF for 36 years….seldom looking back. With me, it has always been different, for I think Globe offers much to anyone ! So much family History here! THANK YOU,

SINCERELY,
Chuck

I just read your Palmer Report for Oct. 28 to Nov. 3rd…as published in Globe-Miami Times, on facebook…wondering if your Palmer Report is only available via this site? I’ve apparently missed other reports via Globe Miami Times’ facebook page…..guess I’ve neglected to read the previous Palmer Reports via the G-M times posts on facebook.

Loved the article, with the exception of the comment that it took two contractors to tear down the old Miami High School because it was so solid. I came on the school board after the first guy left. He absconded after getting paid. We went to court and it went to the ninth district court of appeals where Miami lost because they had overpaid on the pay schedule. Then we had to hire someone to finish the job.
The legend is out there that it was too tough to tear down and as they say in the movie Liberty Valence,If there is a myth and a legend, go with the legend..

I have lived here all my life & am still awe struck by the beauty, history and the people in the Globe – Miami area!

My brother works as an assistant county coroner in Butler County, Ohio, north of Cincinnati. It’s an upscale suburban community that has an exploding Heroine problem. Hundreds of twenty-something kids, many with college backgrounds, have access to high-quality heroine at low prices. Young people are dying…He tells me that the heroine dealers are doing classic marketing, introducing lightly cut “horse” at low prices, and then gradually decreasing the purity and increasing the price per dose. It’s crazy. Watch your youngsters closely! this is a serious issue!

Hello, I found this post when researching the Miami and Globe area and wanted to leave a message in case anyone has any information they could share. My grandfather was a Miner for the Miami Copper Co back through the 40’s. He was in a bar fight and as a result died back in Feb of 48′. I do know the bar was called Van’s Canteen but cannot find any information on it. I was wondering if anyone had photos or more information they could share. Also my father attended 1st grade at that time in Globe at a School called Osborn Grade School and cannot find information on that either. You can contact me at: brianpasadena28@yahoo.com , thank you.

Great series! Thank you, Kim Stone and Dominion Firearms!

My husband & I came to John’ restaurant frequently & watch hockey. We sure miss Your cooking. Let us know if you’re cooking again. It would be worth the drive.

Best Wishes

Walt & Maria Kovaleski

My Grandfather Pedro Limon and great uncle both are buried there and I believe my great grandmother is there too. Its so sad too see that the cemetery is such bad shape ,but it does comfort me to know that there are people who care and are trying to do something about it. Great story by the Globe Miami times

So so sad, I absolutely adore P.P.L and I find the best stuff there!! I’ll need to go stock up on as many pairs of their sandals as possible and her gorgeous tunics too!! 🙁 it’s a sad night for me now!

Very good article. Are the burial records digitized ?Can anyone look at them
What are the future plans to preserve this cemetery

I live in Payson and would be willing to participate

Ron McCulley. rjmc1967@yahoo.com. 303 829 4073

My uncle worked at the mine near Seneca. He walked many miles to and from each day, winter snow, desert heat, he went to work. A faithful employee till it closed down. Sadly he died from lung cancer, mesothelioma, of course. I had other family worked there also. According to them, no one knew the danger of asbestos.

In a few days, I’m coming to the cemetery to look for the graves of Apolonio Acosta 1851-1930 and his son, Trinidad Acosta d 1952. They were the grandfather and uncle of a friend. Is there a way to find out where to look for these graves? Other than close-up pictures on websites, I have nothing else to go on.
Thank you.

The history of the Center For The Arts goes back to the early 1980’s. Many people with great vision worked hard to get this building, re model this building and give this building the life of art to share with all in this community.There have been many folks participate in growing this wonderful community place. Many participants have come and shared their talents and then moved on. But this place has always been an asset to the community because of the community. All were invited, young and old.
Since Kip has left us, much to soon, there have been those left to carry on the purpose. Molly no doubt has tried to keep the fires burning even with the other duties of her life. Her devotion is not in question.
What is in question is the direction of the executive board. They have a back room plan for the future of this Center and it seems that they want to cleanse the building of all that have come before them. How unfair to those of us who have treated this place like a second home. They need to be questioned! They need to be called out!! They need to hear our community roar!!! THIS IS OUR CENTER FOR THE ARTS and you can’t have it without a fight!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you to all of the parent that put on the dinner tonight! It was wonderful.

I know for a fact a lot of the old time residents have been paying taxes for this for over 60 years and promised but never seen a sewer system. Here we go again, promises but only higher taxes for nothing. think about it people 60 plus years of taxes but no sewer. I also hear they want to charge according to property value so the ones with very little value will benefit the most if it happens. If it does happen it should be broken down to a fair price so everyone pays the same. The older folks who are on limited monies wont be able to afford this and will have to move. Taxation to death in a small community is not the answer. Time to vote a new board in.

Where would the Gila County American fit into this list. It astarted in the mid sixties to inform about Evan Mechum and Sam Steiger. I think it lasted several years. it was coodinated by a Tom Anderson. It was a weekly
newspaper for Globe and Miami but was printed in Phx. Cyote Wolfe also wrote a times of yore column about the area. I have clipping from this paper but they are currently lost in the boxes.

Christine :
After a short period of time, it’s all out there for everyone who knows you ! EUCLID AVE
benefited from that deal NOT the other way around. You are very intelligent,well spoken and a belong to
a group of gifted people from Globe that are ‘The Ambassadors’ in every sense of the word. Thank You,
personally, for all you do for people in general ,but also for Globe, in particular !! BEST WISHES

Chuck

Is this in print? I have a friend coming to Globe in April. She lives in Connecticut and has not previously “experienced” Globe.

I know this article is a bit old but has the course been revitalized. I was there in the mid 2000’s and it was fantastic then. Sad that it was let to be run down so bad. The lay out is very nice. We were visiting from Alberta Canada.

I’m showing my biological father is in a grave there his name was allen ray warner shows he died November 2012 where can I get a computer of death .

Looking for my uncle Leonardo Rubalcava, died around 1927 in Globe from an auto accident. Buried in the area. Where? He was my father’s brother. His father was Bernardo & his mother was Tomasa. I tried finding him before, but no luck. If, you can help great! Thank you.

Love this man, and now I miss that I did not see him again. He was a master at BMW’s……

This was an interesting article but I disagree with the statement “Curley is one of the only Apache designers out there.” There are many Apache dress designers to my knowledge.

I was praying everyone is safe Sorry ste up a gofund me Miami.All that matters is no one is injured and the disability groups are safe Thank you all that helped praying the firefighters are safe thank you and God Bless you.

Miami was my home town . Was raised there and always walked the town to the pool , park, and just the area. Family is from there . This is so sad . Thankfully no one was seriously hurt. Thank u to all the ones who helped .

Nice article Carole. Good job writing about a sad but historic time. Very descriptive.

52nd and Thomas is it now Divitos? That’s my Phoenix Home Hood when not in Roosevelt. Can’t wait to try your Pizza up in Globe!

I graduated from Globe high school in 1994, I still Love Leonard Paul’s pizza even though I live in Bullhead city now. I ask my mother who lives in Globe To bring me a pizza whenever she come to visit me. 😄

The pizza is great…. the people working have always been so nice and funny every time I walk in. Like your family, that just stopped in for a visit. And beyond the amazing pizza and service, the memories in that patio area… the memories are irreplaceable. It’s a piece of home. Love this place.

Congratulations Daisy and Trent (and Sancho)! Can’t wait for the Grand Opening!

As usual, Rural is always low man on the totem pole. Because we are only a few in the scheme of things we don’t have high priority. But, THANKS to Local First AZ, things they are a changing !

Hi Patti,

Great article. I have an investment property for sale in Miami. Would you know anyone who would be interested?

he City of Globe also saves approximately $25,000 a year through the use of solar energy pv at the sewage treatment plant…money saved that can go toward other needs…that $25K could be used for other things such as “street maintenance, parks or any of the other items normally placed in the budget,”. “In general, though, it can be seen as a reduction in the overall electricity costs to the city.”!!!

Hi,

My father was born in Globe in 1915, but left before he was 6. My great-grandfather (A. B. von Lange) and my father’s infant brother (Ralph Houser) are both buried in the cemetery there. I visited their graves back in 1973 (I’m from New York). My grandmother had a friend who was a local photographer who had her own studio in Globe sometime in the pre-1920’s. Her name was Reeves or Reaves, and we used to have many of her photographs. I happened to visit this site while looking up the names of a few Globe women I have a photo of (of three girls sitting on the fender of a parked roadster. Their names were Evelyn Hicks (who I see married a man named Jackson, and she had become a WASP during WWII), the other woman in the photo was named (I believe) Frances Tyler Royster)

Two other things. Did this show originate from Phoenix? And trivia about the name Bill Taylor. Los Angeles had two Bill Taylor’s. This Bill Taylor who worked at KIQQ and another Bill Taylor who worked at KFWB years ago,

The ignoble end which is referenced here is demolition. The City was going to tear it down – because the back of it presented a public hazard, as the crack spread- and it was Kip Culver, who worked behind the scenes to find buyer who would invest in the building: repairing the crack and restoring it to active use in our historic downtown. That person was James Dowly. Without this, that corner which had stood so proudly for 100 years – would be a concrete slab. That is why preservation is such a critical element in a unique downtown like ours.

Hello. I am interested in learning how to nominate someone to the Miami sports hall of fame?

Ian and his wife Cathy are very caring individuals and always happy to lend a hand wherever needed. Ian has taken care of many of my family members who have passed on and each time showed the care and dedication to each one of them and their families. They have become a part of my family and Globe/Miami/San Carlos is lucky to have them as a staple in the community.

I have been very anxious to read this article about our much-loved friend, Ian. I would have liked a little more expansion about the statement that cremations went from 20% to “65- 70%, higher than the national rate of nearly 55%.” So, how did that affect Ian and his business? I know there is no crematorium in the Globe/Miami area, so it has to add to the time, at least. Some who are cremated are also buried. One assumes that cremation is cheaper than burial. How does this factor into things?

I used to clean bar every week. Loaded shot gun shells in basement. Shot a hole where he kept liquor behind wood on wall. Bracco, woods and many more locals lived there.
I like what you did with place. Globe still has best Mexican food on the planet! On my next trip through, will definitely stop by and share some old-time memories.

Thank-you for sharing your newsletter, I sure do appreciate your communication.

I will have a new email address which I will share in the cell below, as I would like to continue receiving your newsletters.

What happened to the Mayor was inexcusable. It had absolutely nothing to do with Covid 19. For everything he has done for the community he gets a slap in the face. I don’t blame him for resigning. He deserved better. My prayers go out to him and many blessings for his future. I have known Darryl since high school. He is such an amazing man and I am proud to call him a friend.

I’m looking to buy some scott highland cattle. I’m I’m in Wilcox AZ.
Do you have any for sale?

My grandfather, Clifford Upton, started a candy business in Globe in the early 1900’s. He married my grandmother, Edith Hammons, there around 1915. I realize Carmen would have been very young, but wondering if she remembers anything about the Hammons or Uptons.
Sincerely,
Nancy O’Hara

He recruited me to work as his bookkeeper for a while back in 2017. I was elated to take the position. Then one day he announced he was going to Vegas to a convention and when I came back to work the office was empty and the locks had been changed. Worked for him for 4 months and never got paid one dime. He stole the inventory of the company he had purchased and left them high and dry. I wish I would have known who he was, as I surely might have been able to do something at that time. I actually met Anthony Albano, who at the time was posing as his financial advisor & attorney. Probably part of the scan as well. He was married with children and screwing around with at least two of the harem of ladies that fell for his story. So sorry I had to fall victim along with all of you.

he was my grandpa and i loved him so much that he put smiles on everyones faces and he still smiled when he was bitteled with cancer.

Thanks for sharing guidance related to camping opportunities in the tonto national forest. Keep writing.

Doing research on my grandfather who was a Miner Globe/Miami during 1920-1930 era. His name is Ralph Chavez. My grandparents live in Globe. Where my mother was born. Emma Chavez, Lucy, Francis.

Would like to know if my Grandfather was buried there? I know he had died from black lung.

Do you know if the miners were buried there?

I recently had a dealing w Candelario through Offero Home Buyers. Luckily I dodged a bullet. I was contacted by offero homes after searching we buy junk homes. From the get go they were sketchy. No one answered phones. I worked w a total of four people. The offero office called me two days before close and threatened if I didn’t lower the price they wouldn’t close. Closing day came and they were a no show. They listed my home for sale on Craigslist prior to our close date.. one of his own employees said he was a clever man who will try to bully you into lowering sell price. Total fraud!

I have recently discovered the Apache Cowboys on Youtube working in the area you have written about. I am amazed how these Apache Cowboys work as a complete team in roping and rounding up these wild Hereford cattle. They are very brave professional and fearless in their work. The apparently leader Apache Skiler and his horse Eagle is the BEST. keep the YouTube clips coming..😂

What a wonderful story. My Father’s family was from Globe, last name Halby, my maiden name. Dad took us to Globe, in the summer of1960 . I don’t remember much, he took us the high school, the Catholic Church and the courthouse. We also explored a he cemetery, marveling at the years on the headstones. I couldn’t figure out why there we no flowers on the graves or green grass growing. I was five! I intend to return someday; to get a feel for the town my Dad grew up in in. He was born in 1922, one of 10 siblings. I love this history of this city.

Thank you for a wonderful story.

Women on average make less because they choose lower paying less dangerous jobs, I don’t see women on oil rigs, doing roofing, or anything to that degree. This is just extreme feminism and outright lies, after reading this I’m going to call them and tell them don’t pass it, smh.

I used to work for Michael. I trusted him. Even when my wife and other people told me not to. He owes me 4k and by the end of the month, it will be over 26k. By the time all my deals, I got while working for him and it closes this year. He will owe me over 50k. If anyone can help with its situation. Please give me a call at 702-301-5054

He has a company called Offerohomes and he continues to scam people

I am Hia-Ced O’Odham , some writings said we were Apache Like also. Could we have been the ones you wrote about ? We were nomadic and our biggest Village was in Dome Az. Prof Bunny Fontana wrote about us also and so did Lumholtz .

I worked for Offero Homes around the beginning of 2021 and it was like PULLING TEETH to get PAID. I still have clients calling ME months after I left the company because they are owed money and there’s nothing I can do to help them because I barely got out of there with getting paid myself. DO NOT WORK WITH MICHAEL OR OFFERO. The bounced checks are absolutely true. You would think after all the complaints of bounced checks he would get his s*** together but he truly does not CARE. If he doesn’t f*** you over immediately he eventually will.

Would love to purchase a cabin on Pinals….

If any owner is interested in selling….

Please contact me….

Hi Heidi
This article you wrote is about my great Aunt.
It’s so good I sure thank you. I knew just a little bit about her and what her And my uncle went thru back then.
It makes me want to know more since We seem to be living through the same types of things today. They say that history repeats itself every hundred years.

My name is George Stevens (III), I currently am living in southern Oregon (Medford), bob Stevens is my younger brother. I too remember the days as a kid spending a lot of time at the ranch, n we’ve hunted in that region a lot growing up. Our dad George W. Stevens n mom introduced us siblings to the mountains where he grew up as a kid, n it became instilled in our hearts n soul. There’s truly a lot of history there on the San Carlos Apache reservation, my Homeland where I grew up. I return to the reservation every so often n it’s always good to be home again…

This is such an incredible project! One more big reason to visit my old stomping grounds Globe-Miami! So looking forward to seeing this in petson!

I so wish some of these stores in Globe had online stores as well for those of us that have moved out of state … and don’t get back home as often as I would like.

How would I go about applying for a job?

What happened to the grand opening? Can you do a follow up article please?

Capstone and the Unions deserve commendation for their respectful and constructive relationship that benefits employers, employees, and the surrounding communities. I salute them on this Labor Day in celebration of their new contract!

I tried to find the fundraiser for cats on the Facebook page (according to the article “A heart for cats”but have not found it. Would you send me a link? Thanks.

-My GG Grandparents are buried in the Globe Cemetry in unmarked graves. John Raymond Howard Sr, in1877, and Rebecca (nee) Wood Howard 1915. Any information would be great, if anyone has any. Great article.

Me again and I have some information to share as far as this family is concerned and the crimes they commit. It’s been brought to my attention that in addition to the Candelario’s there are possibly two other scam artists involved and if anyone has been affected or had any interaction with them, please contact me and share your story. If you don’t want to be involved in any prosecution or lawsuits that are going to be filed, that is ultimately your decision and I will respect that decision and there will be no pressure placed trying to get you to change your mind. My door will always be open and you are welcome to join us if you end up changing your mind. Please know that any information anyone shares as well as any contact information you provide, will not be shared with anyone without your consent. I might share portions of what is shared with me but not include where the information came from, unless you advise me not to. I will always respect everyone’s privacy and am only doing this in order to make sure that these scammers don’t hurt anyone else ever again and are held accountable for the crimes committed against all of their victims..

The two other possible scammers are Nehemiah Hutchinson and Anthony Delgado. Please reach out if you have any information pertaining to these two that you can share with me or if you or someone you know has been affected by any of these guys.

The Candelario family has committed fraud against people outside of the state of Arizona as well.. All of them share the middle name Alexander and go by the last name Candelario, Vargas or Candelario Vargas and include their father Alexander C Candelario. The brothers are Michael, Greg and Jeremy.

As of today, Wednesday April 12, 2023 there are approximately 15 people who have fallen victim to these guys and are working together to ensure they don’t get off this time. What they are doing is wrong and I hope they never get to hurt another person.

This is a fabulous idea!! It’s wonderful to see towns embracing their history and not always looking to replace the old with new. And the added art is a bonus. I will definitely be coming to Globe to check out this trail. Thanks for preserving your history to share with the rest of us.

My granddaughter who passed away just before she turned 16. “SHASTA LYNN TAYLOR”. She had been a member of Lynn’s school of dance. Oh, She loved to dance. She also played sports I’m not to sure how much she loved sports, she was playing out fielder and she looked so cute in her uniform but then we noticed this darling little outfielder was out there Clogging up a storm. When it gets boring why not dance. Haha , she is a sweetheart and she is missed terribly Nana

I remember those days when I was younger I worked at ash Creek ranch I remember herding cattle to cavlva and one group of cowboys would herd the bulls and the steers first and I remember I was with the cowboys that herded the cow and calves and we were the last one to herdthed the cattle from ash Creek ranch to yellow jacket and camp there for the night and wake up at four o’clock and have breakfast and round up the herd of cattle that were in the pasture and head them down the road to cavlva and when we got to the highway the ash Creek cowboys would ride their horses from calva camp and tell us to go eat at camp by then it would be noon time and after we ate we would put our tee pee tent up and our bed and bedroll in the tent and we would rest up and it was a long journey on horseback then

Hi: My name is Richard Jasper. I was married to Rose Virginia Limon. After my wife passed in 2015 I started working on our family tree, and recently found that my wife had a baby sister named

Rosa Mendoza “Baby” Limon – Born 5 Sept 1926 and Died 26 May 1927
The only other thing is a reference to a “Memorial ID” 205013522 / Not sue what that means?

According to what I can find is that she was buried in the Pinal Cemetery – (Central Heights, Gila County, Arizona, USA) – Is this the same cemetery? If so, is there any one that might have any old records that might show or prove that her body might or could have been moved to Needles California by her parents around 1941 when the whole family moved out of Arizona to work in the salt mines in Amboy California.

I have found that there is a Grave Marker for

Baby Dimples Limon – 1941 Plot b4s15g7

buried in the Needles Riverview Cemetery / (Needles California) right next to her parents

Jose Carmen Limon – Plot b4s15g5 5-18-1982

Antonia M Limon – Plot b4s15g6 6-3-1971

I sure wish I would have started all this research when my wife’s siblings were still alive, (we lost the last of 9 sibling in October 2023). So know I am looking for answers and can’t seem to find any.

Hopefully there is someone out there that might be able to find any old records or clues?

Thanks in advance.
Richard

Good morning! I recently read your article in Arizona Highways magazine and I am interested in either taking the guided tour, or possibly just walking through as much of the 6.4 miles of trail myself. The article states tours are only on the first Saturday of each month, up to May. Are there any openings for the month of April? What time does the tour start? How long (miles) is the tour? I am hoping to do the entire trail, but I know it would be too much for my wife. Are different tour lengths available?
It has been about three years since our last visit to Globe. Your new trail sounds like a perfect reason to visit again. Keep up your great work and efforts!

A great story about a great couple!
