FROM THE EDITOR
COMPREHENSIVE HOSPITAL CARE FOR ADULTS & CHILDREN
Publisher SCOTT BARTLE
W WHAT BETTER WAY TO NURSE YOUR CINCO DE Mayo hangover than a relaxing afternoon at your home or community pool, a little hair of the dog in one hand and the latest edition of InMaricopa in the other? The weather is prime for it. On aver- age, the first 100-degree day of the year is May 2, according to the National Weath- er Service. That’s the kind of heat that spooks the snowbirds and sends them flapping their wings to find a northerly sanctuary to brave the summer months. If that’s you, we’ll miss you until the fall! One such seasonal resident is Ray Ci- molini, a halftime Province resident who’s heading back to his other home above the 49th parallel. But not before telling us how he spent his life building schools all over the world. Tom Schuman’s timing was perfect when he pitched this story to me. It’s graduation month, after all, a season so hotly anticipated, we put it on the cover. You’ll meet some of the most promising prod- ucts of Maricopa’s high schools in this edition. Many of these young people are preparing to attend colleges around Arizona and beyond. A college degree is so much more than just a piece of paper, but some people play fast and loose with the esteemed titles these degrees allow us to use for ourselves.

Like the temperature outside, the 2024 Maricopa City Council election, which will be held July 30, is starting to heat up. So, if you’re one of our beloved seasonal snowbirds, I’m sorry to say
