As a courtesy to District 2 Supervisor Sandie Smith, I am forwarding her monthly column to you for inclusion in an upcoming issue. If you have any questions about Supervisor Smith's message, please contact her at 520-866-6104.
November 2008 Article from Sandie Smith
Following up on the Greening of Pinal County as well as the efforts of last year’s Pinal County Town Hall I would like to take this opportunity to express our further commitment to this “greening” in the form of recycling.
Altogether we have approximately 107 community recycling locations and business recycling partners throughout Pinal County. To visit the information regarding these locations and business community partners go to http://pinalcountyaz.gov/Departments/PublicWorks/MaterialRecoveryCenter/Pages/RecyclingSites.aspx .
The success of the recycling programs has been overwhelming and it is very hard to keep up with the demand. Our recycling centers are overflowing, citizens are wanting more of these recycling centers in their communities and they wish to increase the items they are able to recycle. It is very hard to meet this demand with available grants and with the income from turning in the recycling products.
One of the hurdles to curbside recycling by private solid waste collectors has been that the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality has a rule that mandates two times a week pick up of “garbage” which does not allow for recycling once a week and solid waste pick up once a week. An opportunity came to us in the form of a solid waste collection company that wanted to recycle curbside and needed to get a “rule change” with ADEQ in order to do this. The Pinal County Health Department and the private refuse company have worked with ADEQ to allow this recycling and solid waste pickup in the same week.
With respect to the particulars, ADEQ recently granted Right Away Disposal (RAD) a solid waste collection company, a variance from the twice a week collection of garbage requirement contained in the agency’s solid waste rules. Approval of the variance is based on RAD's plan to provide garbage collection once a week and substitute a curbside pickup of recyclables in place of the second garbage pickup. RAD's plan calls for implementation of its recycling program within 90 days. The company will provide new recycling containers for all participating customers within the designated service area. These containers are in addition to existing trash containers. Pick up days for a given service area will remain the same with trash picked up on the first collection day of the week and recyclables on the second scheduled pick up day. The service area approved as part of the variance encompasses unincorporated areas of Pinal County to the east and south of Apache Junction including Gold Canyon, Entrada Del Oro, Florence Junction, Queen Valley, San Tan Foothills and Queen Creek. Not included are the incorporated towns and cities because Pinal County has no authority to negotiate for other governments.
RAD will be collecting and recycling paper, cardboard, chipboard, glass, plastic containers, steel food cans, aluminum cans, disposable bakeware and foil. A comprehensive list of acceptable recyclables will be provided to each customer. The recyclables will be processed and stored at a Phoenix recycling center pending the approval and construction of RAD's Waste Technology and Recycling Facility proposed for Apache Junction.
Our Health Department is willing to work with any company as well as any government that would like to provide curbside services to our mutual citizens.
In addition to these efforts, we have cleanups in 11 communities as well as Free Disposal for all Pinal County residents two times a year. These county-wide disposal events will be on November 15, 2008 and April 18, 2009. Items accepted at these events are refrigerators, yard debris, metal/white appliances, construction material, E-Waste, recyclables (cardboard, plastic bottles, newspaper, metal cans), and passenger car tires (limit 5 tires per person per year).
For more information on these events go to our web site at:

PHOENIX - For the past few months, I-10 drivers may have noticed work taking place along the right shoulder of the freeway through the Broadway Curve. The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) has been widening the freeway in this area to allow drivers a safer way to exit at Broadway Road and State Route 143 by adding an additional lane beginning at US 60 (Superstition Freeway).
Starting Monday morning, drivers will see the freeway in its new configuration with the newly completed lane and right shoulder. But in order to complete the $3.1 million project, I-10, US 60 and State Route 143 will need to be restricted this weekend. Crews need to install traffic sensors in freeway lanes, move and install overhead signs, apply rubberized asphalt and re-stripe the new section.
Weekend restrictions:
I-10
Westbound narrowed to one lane from the US 60 interchange to SR 143 from 9 p.m. Friday to noon Saturday (Aug. 23).
Westbound] narrowed to three lanes from the US 60 interchange to SR 143 from noon Saturday to 5 a.m. Monday (Aug. 25).
Westbound Broadway off-ramp closed from 9 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday (Aug. 25).
US 60
Westbound narrowed to one lane from the I-10 interchange to SR 143 from 9 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday (Aug. 25). East Valley drivers traveling to Phoenix or Sky Harbor International Airport can detour around the restriction by using Loop 101 (Price Freeway) to Loop 202 (Red Mountain Freeway).
Northbound on-ramp closed at Baseline Road to I-10 and US 60 from noon Saturday to 5 a.m. Monday (Aug. 25).
SR 143
Northbound lanes closed from 9 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday (Aug. 25). Airport access is open at I-10 and 24th Street in Phoenix.
This project is part of the Regional Transportation Plan approved by Maricopa County voters in 2004. Under the plan, a variety of transportation improvements in the Phoenix area, including new and expanded freeways, transit facilities and local street upgrades, are being constructed through 2025. More information on the Regional Transportation Plan is available at http://www.azdot.gov/ValleyFreeways.

FLORENCE ––Pinal County Environmental Health Services announced today that mosquito samples collected in the City of Eloy, Arizona City, south of the City of Coolidge, northwest of the Town of Florence and the Johnson Ranch area have tested positive for West Nile virus.
This brings to twenty the total number of West Nile virus positive mosquito samples collected by Environmental Health in 2008.
In response, Environmental Health will conduct adult mosquito fogging, weather permitting, beginning Sunday August 24th, 2008 through Tuesday August 26th, 2008 from 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.

The pesticide that will be used during fogging is called Anvil. It is a pre-mixed, ready to use product that contains two active ingredients: Sumithrin (2%) and piperonyl butoxide (2%). Sumithrin is a man-made version of a natural pesticide found in chrysanthemum flowers. Piperonyl butoxide enhances the ability of Sumithrin to kill mosquitoes. Anvil is registered with the U.S. EPA and is effective against mosquitoes that carry West Nile virus. There are several things that residents can do to reduce exposure during fogging:
There are several things that residents can do to reduce exposure during fogging:
· Close all windows and doors. Air conditioners can still be operated, but if they have vents to bring in outside air, they should be closed. Turn off evaporative coolers.
· Stay inside your home
· If possible, bring pets inside.
· Thirty minutes after the end of the scheduled fogging each night, you may resume normal activities.
West Nile virus is transmitted to humans and animals through the bite of an infected mosquito. West Nile virus can cause severe illness in people and horses, although not everyone that is infected will develop symptoms. People of all ages can be affected. However, the elderly may be more prone to serious illness.
County health officials urge all county residents to “Fight the Bite” and follow these simple personal precautions to avoid mosquitoes and the diseases they may carry:
· Avoid outside activity between dusk and dawn, when mosquitoes are most active.
· If you must be outdoors when mosquitoes are active, wear lightweight clothing that covers your arms and legs and use an insect repellent containing an EPA registered active ingredient such as DEET, Picaridin or oil of lemon eucalyptus. Always follow the directions on the label.
· Make sure doors and windows have tight fitting screens and remain closed. Repair or replace screens that have tears or holes in them.
· Eliminate mosquito-breeding sites around the home by removing standing water in potted plants, tires, bird baths and other containers where water may collect.
· Ensure that swimming pools and decorative water features are properly maintained.
· Change water in flowerpots, birdbaths and pet watering bowls located outdoors at least twice per week.

Election 2008 Pinal Republicans seek foothold in newly open supervisor seats
By Brian J. Pedersen
arizona daily star Tucson, Arizona
Published: 08.04.2008 Pinal County has been run by a three-person Board of Supervisors since 1911. In that time, only Democrats have held those three positions. But with two long-standing incumbents stepping down in the fall, Pinal County Republicans feel their time has come to wrest control of the board. "This is our best chance to date," said Tommy Tucker, chairman of the Pinal County Republican Party. Of the 11 candidates running for the three seats, five are Republicans. Three of those are vying for District 2, which includes Apache Junction, Florence, part of Queen Creek, and several heavily populated unincorporated areas that are considered part of the Phoenix metropolitan area. That seat has been held for the past 14 years by Sandie Smith, who like District 1 Supervisor Lionel Ruiz is retiring. Ruiz is stepping down after 16 years on the board. Of the three spots, District 2 appears most likely to go to a Republican. That area is where nearly half of Pinal's 45,974 (as of Friday) registered Republicans live. It is also home to nearly half the county's 133,654 registered voters. "This is the election that we're going to start setting a precedent of Republicans in office," said Todd House, who lost to Smith in 2004 and is up against Bryan Martyn and Danielle Tomerlin in the Sept. 2 Republican primary for District 2. "There will be no more of that good ol' boy network that's been in place for so long. There will now be a watchdog in there."
Many Republicans in Pinal County are linking Democratic candidates to the scandal involving former Pinal County Manager Stanley Griffis, who is serving 3 1/2 years in prison for stealing more than $400,000 in county transportation funds, Democrats say. "They're trying to make a big deal of that," said Pete Rios, a state representative for Pinal-heavy District 23 who is leaving the Legislature to run for the District 1 supervisor seat. "They're trying to wrap him around some other incumbents' necks, too, like the sheriff." District 1 is Pinal County's largest district, yet its least populated. It includes the towns of Eloy and Mammoth, and unincorporated areas such as Oracle, Red Rock, SaddleBrooke and San Manuel. All of those areas are poised for rapid growth similar to what other parts of the county already have experienced, Rios said. "It may be a little bit slower here, but it's coming," Rios said, noting planned large-scale residential communities in Mammoth and San Manuel, and a proposal by the San Carlos Apache Indian Tribe to build a casino along state Highway 77 north of Mammoth. "We need to be prepared." Rios said party affiliation should not matter to voters who are most concerned with the best interests of the county, an opinion shared by nearly every Democrat running for county supervisor. "I am optimistic and hopeful that, regardless of who sits on the county Board of Supervisors, that will be the county touchstone," said David Snider, who is seeking his second term overseeing District 3, which includes Casa Grande and fast-growing Maricopa. "Partisan politics should not affect things."
