Top 10 Reasons Tortilla Flat Sizzles in the Summer
As the end of summer draws near and a new school year looms on the horizon, one last minute day-trip destination that your family can't afford to miss is Tortilla Flat. Started as a stage coach stop in 1904, Tortilla Flat has become a unique western town, restaurant and saloon frequented by bikers and surfer types alike. Known for its spicy chili, ghost town and museum, Tortilla Flat is the perfect destination for a day-trip with the family and a fun adventure with friends.
With apologies to David Letterman, Michael Lonero, General Manager of Tortilla Flat, warmly offers 10 reasons you should brave the heat and visit his unique western town, restaurant and saloon.
Tortilla Flat is an authentic remnant of an old west town, nestled in the midst of the Tonto National Forest, in the Superstition Mountain Range. As well as being home for six adventurous people, Tortilla Flat has a charm that has surpassed time. The day-trip destination started out as a stage coach stop in 1904, but neither fire or flood has been able to remove this historic stop along the historic Apache Trail.
“It’s a fun, family-friendly environment with a great information filled staff,” relates Lonero. “You can see people in flip-flops, next to cowboys, next to bikers – all enjoying each other’s company; it’s truly a place for everyone.”
So, without further ado, pack up the car, fire up the motorcycles, load the kids into the Winnebago and scream: “Road trip!” Then, get ready to belly up to the bar in one of Tortilla Flat’s saddle barstools.
Top 10 Reasons Tortilla Flat Sizzles in the Summer (spoken in your best Dave voice):
10) Prickly pear ice cream (and loads of other flavors and fudge and old fashioned candy for the kids – or the kid in you!)
9) The coldest beer in the west!
8) Voted one of America’s most scenic routes for a day trip, here’s your itinerary for adventure: visit the Goldfield Ghost Town; hop on Dolly the Steamboat for a beautiful cruise of Canyon Lake; and then, bring your appetite and get ready for a delicious lunch at Tortilla Flat!
7) The biggest burgers – and the HOTTEST chili in town (the killer chili your mama warned you about!!!)
6) Great people watching – Teddy Roosevelt one stopped in and cowboys, bikers and movie stars are all partial to Tortilla Flat (It’s a great place to shoot photos – or your next movie) Most recently, Kelly Ripa from Live with Regis and Kelly mosied in.
5) Come witness a piece of history at our museum – The Tortilla Flat Museum is bursting with interesting artifacts recounting the history of the Superstition Mountains and the famous Apache Trail.
4) Did we mention the coldest beer in the west?
3) If you still haven’t cooled off after lunch, go take a dip in Canyon Lake
2) 90,000 reasons to visit this summer – and counting – You’ll see over $90,000 worth of currency on our walls from some 67 countries around the world
(And, drum roll please, the number one reason to visit Tortilla Flat this summer)
1) Hey, if you have TOO much fun at Tortilla Flat, go ahead and make it a “stay-cation.” Camping is available at Canyon Lake or book a room at the nearby Apache Lake Marina.

Tribes in Arizona benefit from Recovery Act
funds to improve water services
Tribes in Arizona will have improved access to vital water services through funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service’s Indian Health Service (IHS) announced $90 million nationwide in ‘shovel ready’ infrastructure projects designed to better protect human and environmental health in Indian Country.
”On tribal lands, 10 percent of homes lack access to safe drinking water compared to less than one percent of non-native homes. Together with the Indian Health Service, EPA is using Recovery Act funds to provide much-needed support for water and wastewater systems in Indian Country,” said Laura Yoshii, acting regional administrator for the U.S. EPA in the Pacific Southwest. “This funding creates jobs for tribal members, addresses critical infrastructure needs and will increase access to drinking water and basic sanitation services. By 2010, over 4,400 tribal homes in the Pacific Southwest are expected to receive piped drinking water or basic sanitation services for the first time.”
• Hualapai Tribe will receive $260,400 to upgrade its drinking water system serving 75 homes
• The Hopi Tribe will receive $1,353,530 for six wastewater and drinking water projects serving 484 homes
• San Carlos Apache Tribe will receive $1,140,000 for drinking water system improvements serving 1,055 homes
• White Mountain Apache Tribe will receive $2,321,150 for three projects improving wastewater and drinking water systems serving 2,085 homes
• Yavapai-Apache Nation will receive $321,900 to improve arsenic treatment for its drinking water system serving 161 homes
• Tohono O’odham Nation will receive $1,929,010 for five wastewater and drinking water projects serving 497 homes
• Ak-Chin Indian Community will receive $615,770 to improve its wastewater treatment facility serving 126 homes
• Quechan Tribe will receive $340,630 to upgrade sewer lines serving 15 homes
Continuing a tradition spanning 20 years, EPA and IHS’s combined effort to improve water services in Indian Country contributed to their identification of 95 wastewater and 64 drinking water priority projects to be completed by IHS’s Sanitation Facilities Construction Program through EPA Recovery Act funds. The projects exceed the Recovery Act requirement that 20 percent of the funds be used for green infrastructure, water and energy efficiency improvements and other environmentally innovative projects.
President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 on Feb. 17, 2009, and has directed that the recovery act be implemented with unprecedented transparency and accountability. To that end, the American people can see how every dollar is being invested at www.recovery.gov.

Farmers Insurance kicks off
“Be A Hero For Babies Day” in Arizona
Farmers Insurance will hold its nationwide “Be A Hero For Babies Day” March of Dimes fundraiser July 22. Earlier this year, Farmers was reminded of just why this fundraiser is so important, and by one of their very own employees.Joey Alexander Romano was born Feb. 1, 2009 at just 29 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 12 ounces. This “miracle baby,” as parents George and Debbie Romano like to refer to him, spent 3 months of his life in the NICU and miraculously shocked the medical community as he began to grow and become healthy.
Baby Joey’s journey into this world was a difficult one. His parents, filled with joy to know they were expecting, prepared for the journey a 9-month pregnancy would take them on. Tracking his progress and the progress of Debbie’s experience was something they looked forward to; however, an unexpected turn of events prevented that from happening.
A short time into her pregnancy, Debbie found herself at the hospital for routine monitoring when they noticed the baby’s heart had dropped. Unknowingly suffering from severe Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR), a condition in which the fetus is smaller than expected for the number of weeks of pregnancy, at just 25 weeks Joey’s arrival was imminent.
“It was a very scary and confusing time for us,” said Debbie Romano. “This was my first pregnancy, and I didn’t know what to expect from that, let along giving birth too soon.”
During his stay at the Phoenix Children’s Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), George and Debbie stayed by Joey’s side night and day. They shared in each others frustration and monitored their son’s progress, even when there was none to report. Often recalling his feelings of jealousy and envy as they watched soon-to-be parents come in for healthy deliveries, George Romano felt as if his family had been short-changed. “We were supposed to have that experience. I wanted to be the tired and emotional one…I wanted to take him home…it’s not fair.”
“It was a surreal time…it’s a tragedy, yet that crazy environment is what you begin to accept as normal,” said Debbie. “We became so accustomed to being there and watching as he was poked and prodded…tubes everywhere…we even learned to stimulate him when his heart would slow down or he would stop breathing.”
The stress of having a premature baby or a baby suffering from a defect can take its toll. Parents struggle not only to find out the science behind what is happening to their child, but with the unanswered “why me” questions. Debbie Romano recalls her many rides to and from the hospital with her husband as they prayed for his health – “We always had so much running through our minds. I remember asking George if we’d ever talk to each other in the car again.”
A newly married couple, the Romano’s had been married only 2 years before they became pregnant and Joey was born premature. “I think we got through this by having our friends and family by our side,” said Debbie. “We have an 11-year old daughter at home and we somehow needed to keep a sense of normalcy for her…we know many of the families who spent their nights in the NICU were completely alone…thankfully there are programs such as the March of Dimes NICU Family Support program that provides comfort to those who are going through what we did.”
As Joey’s condition slowly improved, the Romano family began to see the light at the end of the tunnel. “He was no longer the size of 4 sticks of butter, he was 6 and then 8,” said George. The tiniest of progress in Joey’s health meant he was that much closer to coming home.
On April 10, 2008, Joey was finally able to take his first car ride, feel the warm Arizona air on his skin and sleep in the comfort of his own home. “There was something about getting him home,” said Debbie. “Yeah, he was still covered in tubes, but he was finally home and that made it easier to cope with.”
Months went by and Joey became stronger. While he still suffers from a tiny hole in his heart, Joey is all smiles and full of playful energy – especially when his big sister walks into the room. “I’m so glad to have Joey home,” said Alexandra Romano. “I didn’t like having him so far away – I never knew I could love him so much, and I get to play with him all the time now!”
Doctors are unsure as to what potential developmental constraints Joey may have as he gets older. Weekly, Joey has a specialist who works with him on his motor development, speech and language skills. “We continue to be thrilled that our son is home, but it is still stressful to hear doctors say we are unsure of how he will progress,” said George. “We know Joey, and we see his enthusiasm for life – we know there may be uncertainties, but we choose to live life to its fullest.”
George Romano, who works for March of Dimes partner Farmers Insurance, participated in the 2009 March for Babies in Phoenix. “It was the first time I walked,” said George. “I saw people with their t-shirts and photos of their very own miracle babies – I walked for Joey, and every step that I took reminded me of the crucial and lifesaving research performed by the March of Dimes.”
Farmers, who will host their annual “Be a Hero for Babies” day across the country on July 22, encourages their employees and agents to host awareness activities that provide information on the programs and services offered by the March of Dimes. “I was a brand new employee of Farmers when my wife and I went through all of this,” said George. “It’s nice to know that my company looks out not only for me and my baby, but for babies everywhere.”
Joey, now 16-months old weighing 20 pounds and close to 30 inches in length, is as active as ever playing with his sister and enjoying the endless amount of love offered by his parents and family. “He’s still small when compared to other children his age,” said Debbie. “But to us, his perfect.”
