Globe Moose Lodge Issues Apology
Globe Moose Lodge sent this Public Notice to the local media:
This message of apology to the public is intended to set the record straight on several issues concerning the not so favorable behavior of certain members of Loyal Order of Moose, Globe Lodge 2014 located on highway 60 in Claypool Arizona. Our lodge which is registered with the Arizona Corporation Commission, is a local business and is independent of Moose International, is operated and directed by the officers of our local lodge. We try hard to follow the guidelines of Moose International.
In the past this lodge developed a reputation of being a low class organization attracting undesirables that drank too much and offended local residents with their foul mouth sexist jokes and innuendos.
Unfortunately most fraternal organization receive a bad rep when it come to the drinking issue, but and it should also be known that fraternal organizations generally have by-laws that forbid this type of irresponsible behavior but unfortunately a few bad apples get past our good intentions.
As far as a foul mouthed sexist jokes and innuendos’ go, I as administrator for Globe Lodge 2014 would ask the public to please except our apology for the behavior of some of our members in the past. The seriousness of this issue has been discussed with the membership and their attention was directed to the particular Article in our By-laws that addresses such behavior.
In the not too distant past an event similar to the ones I just described happened and much discussion and debate occurred because of this issue both in and outside the lodge. During this period in time I was not involved with the Loyal Order of Moose and had no idea of lodge procedures but I was concerned about the incident. Some time afterward I was asked to help Globe Lodge 2014 by filling the administrator’s position. After some training, time and experience I found it necessary to write this letter of apology to the public and help the Lodge Governor realign our local lodge with the goals and reason of being of this family fraternity. The Loyal Order of Moose is dedicated to the support and care of the children and the elderly at Moose Heart, and Moose Haven, and Globe Moose Lodge 2014 helps these residents through donations of funds and needed articles.
I hope that this apology be accepted by the public and especially those most offended who asked that no names be attached to this letter.
Sincerely,
Jose Angel Medina Sr.
Administrator

New Law for Photo Enforcement Notices
As of today (Wednesday), photo enforcement violation notices in Arizona are required to say that you don’t have to respond and you don’t have to identify the driver in the picture.
Photo enforcement is relatively new in Globe and hasn’t stirred up much controversy, but it has been common for other cities to imply that ignoring a notice could mean trouble. However-- as reported often in the Phoenix New Times and other places-- the truth is that ignoring the initial notice only means the possibility of a ticket being served at your home. Having a server come out does mean an additional $25 fine. But if the server never comes, or if you don’t appear to be at home when the server comes, then the photo enforcement ticket becomes invalid. If you are served, however, you must then treat the citation as if it were issued by a police officer at a traffic stop.
Now Arizona law requires notices to say that the notice is not a court issued document; you are not required to identify the person in the photo or respond to the notice; and failure to respond to the notice may result in official service with an additional fine.
(New Times also points out that the new law also requires $13 of every ticket to go to a task force with a mission of "strict enforcement" of immigration and gang laws. If you oppose such "strict enforcement," this could be another reason to ignore a photo enforcement notice.)

New Law to Protect Stranded Drivers
A new state law goes into effect tomorrow (Wednesday) that requires drivers to give stranded motorists more safety room. If you see a vehicle on the side of the road with flashing lights or warning lights, you are required to slow down or to move over a lane if it is safe to do so.
This is a secondary violation, which means you will only be cited if you are stopped for something else, like speeding.
Until now Arizona law only protected first responders helping motorists on the side of the road. Fines for violating the new law vary according to the city in which the violation occurs.

Gila County Attorney's Child Support Division Ranked Top in the Country
A report released by the Arizona Department of Economic Security Division of Child Support Enforcement ranks Gila County number one in total federal incentive scores.
Several years ago the federal government began ranking the states on five different child support performance measures in order to divide up a fixed amount of federal money among the states. Arizona uses the same performance measures to divide its federal incentive money among the state’s county attorney offices. The report shows that if Gila County were a state, its combined incentive scores would make it the top child support program in the country.
Gila County Attorney Daisy Flores says she is pleased with the report. She also notes that her office recently received perfect scores for the third time in a row on its internal performance audit. The Child Support Division says it is unaware of any other Arizona child support office ever receiving even one perfect annual audit score.

ADOT Receives Funding for Crosswalk
Signal
The Arizona Department of Transportation has received federal funding for the design of a crosswalk signal on US 60 at Globe High School. Once it is installed, the signal will be activated when a pedestrian pushes a button. The signal will gradually stop traffic with yellow flashing lights followed by a red light. Once traffic stops in both directions, the pedestrian is signaled to walk safely across the street. Sensors allow the signal to turn green when the pedestrian has completely crossed the road.
ADOT still needs to go through the design process required by federal funding Then it will need federal approval to start the bidding and construction phase of the project.
In the meantime ADOT has updated and installed new and more prominent signing and striping at the intersection.

Freeport McMoRan Morenci Agrees to Settlement
Freeport McMoRan Morenci has agreed to a $150,000 settlement for releasing sulfuric acid and heavy metals from a pipeline into Lower Chase Creek.
Freeport McMoRan will pay a $75,000 penalty and complete a supplemental environmental project valued at $75,000 as part of a consent judgment in Maricopa County Superior Couirt.
On October 30, 2008, Freeport’s Morenci facility discharged the solution directly into Lower Chase Creek from a stormwater pipe. The material traveled downstream for more than two miles, passing through areas of the creek publically accessible from both Morenci and Clifton. The discharge occurred after a contractor incorrectly connected an electrolyte solution pipeline into a pipeline dedicated to transporting stormwater through the mine.
When it became aware of the spill, Freeport McMoran acted quickly by constructing four temporary check dams, which stopped the discharge 120 feet from the confluence of the San Francisco River. They also minimized the potential impact by recovering 93,000 gallons of discharged liquids and removing 85,000 tons of contaminated sediment from the creek bed.
Freeport McMoRan has also agreed to conduct household hazardous waste collection events at dates and locations to be announced.

Resolution Land Swap Passes Committee
A bill to clear the way for the Resolution Copper mine near Superior was approved yesterday (Wednesday) by the House Natural Resources Committee.
The Arizona Republic reports that the 26 to 19 vote was along party lines. The full House may vote on the measure before the August recess.
The bill would authorize a federal land exchange giving Resolution Copper about 2400 acres in the Oak Flats area of the Tonto National Forest in return for more than 5,000 acres of environmentally sensitive land around the state.
The bill’s sponsor is 1st District Representative Paul Gosar who is on the Natural Resources Committee. But another Arizona Repreesentative Raul Grijalva opposes the bill. He is also on the Natural Resources Committee. Grijalva says the bill threatens sacred Apache lands and could endanger the area’s water supply. Gosar says the mine would bring jobs and revenue to Arizona.

Globe Rejects Prison Initiatives
Globe City Clerk Gina Paul has rejected the initiative petitions that would have required voter approval for any new prison in Globe. Paul says the proponents of the initiatives failed to properly complete and file an Arizona Political Committee Statement of Organization. One of the petitions was also rejected because zoning by initiative is prohibited in Arizona. The City of Globe Press Release says an independent legal opinion supported these conclusions.
A copy of the City of Globe letter to Citizens to Protect Globe’s Resources was provided to the media. It says that the committee did not provide an official serial number for the petition or indicate whether it supports or opposes the initiative, both required by law. The letter says that signatures collected on petition sheets are invalid if they are collected before filing a properly completed Organization form. It also says that the signatures are invalid because the initiative singles out special treatment for a specific use of property, which is illegal and void in Arizona.
The Clerk’s office also found that 43 of the petition’s signatures are ineligible for verification. And six signature sheets were rejected for other errors.
Meanwhile, the Arizona Department of Corrections says on its website that the bid by Emerald Corrections to build a private prison in Globe is no longer being considered.
