From H.O.S.T to HOCRN
STORE,
The HOCRN team walked through the facility on July 14 and got the keys on Monday, July 18th. The new HOCRN Thrift Store manager, Renee Norman along with Julie Piva got right to work for the opening on Friday July 22nd. The wonderful volunteers who stepped up to help clean the store, totally revamp the sales floor layout and collect furniture donations from around town, made it all possible. Please come shop our new spacious store. We even cater to the men with comfortable seating inside and outside, so they can hang out while the women do some seriousManyshopping.peopledeserved kudos for the success of the July 22nd opening, but one in particular stands out. Christian Closet manager, Anna Gustafson’s attitude regarding our community was truly inspiring. She gave HOCRN Thrift, a “rival” thrift store, her time, expertise, and sweat (pardon the expression). Some asked why she would do that. Her immediate response was, “We are all one community. By working together, we create a better community.” Don’t you just love this group!
HOCRN is blessed that many of the HOST volunteers have chosen to stay. We would like to thank May Hochstatter, Helma Scott, Diane Murray, Carolyn Wheeler, Tracey Cresswell, Laura & Cricket Stain, Maribel Machicote, Linda Fernley, Richard Dubois Jr, Ricky Dubois III and Denise Michiels for staying to help us carry on. HOCRN’s Thrift Store policy provides for clothing and home items for families that experience an emergency situation. We encourage them to reach out to us. We accept gently used, clean and unbroken furniture items during our normal business hours: Friday and Saturday 9am to 2pm when a HOCRN volunteer is present to check the item. We CAN NOT accept worn, dirty or broken furniture. all furniture donations may qualify. reserve the right to refuse a donation. furniture, donation pick-up, THRIFT 1846 Arizona Hwy 260.

6 | The RimShot In 2004, James and Sylvia Cherry took over management of H.O.S.T. (Heber-Overgaard Service Team), a community thrift store in Heber. H.O.S.T. raised money for high schoolers who wanted to attend college and donated to many other Heber-Overgaard community organizations. After James’ death in 2020, due to COVID, the James Cherry Scholarship was established. It became increasingly difficult for Sylvia to continue to manage H.O.S.T. On July 12, 2022, she posted on Facebook that she was looking for an organization to continue the H.O.S.T. legacy at its current location. Local realtor and HOCRN (Heber Overgaard Community Resource Network) board president, June “Sassy” Call saw the post and immediately got approval from the HOCRN board to approach Sylvia. Sylvia and Carrie were so relieved and excited by HOCRN’s commitment to carry on their community work, that the deal was struck the afternoon of the 13th. To show their confidence and appreciation, H.O.S.T. donated $5000 to the HOCRN Thrift Store and committed to pay the July and August rent and utilities. In return, HOCRN pledged to award the James Cherry Scholarship to two students for $2,000 a year per student.

How times have changed on the Heber Black Mesa Ranger District since the 1930’s. In those years there were no bladed roads throughout the district, the only bladed slightly improved road was the HeberYoung highway and by 1939 the 504 road was mostly completed by the CCC and it became another bladed improved road. There were two classifications of the two track roads throughout the district.
Submitted by Kathy Boatman Written by Richard Gibson in the Summer of 2009 Left to Right, Margaret Gibson, cousins, Richard Gibson, Irving Gibson mid cont’d1930’s next page...
8 | The RimShot My Dad wrote this in 2009 before he had any symptoms of Cancer and his brain was still sharp as tack.
The most heavily used two track roads were called truck trails and they were signed and marked with two rectangular notches in the pine trees every 1/8 mile or so. The other roads were classified as fire roads and these were barely usable to vehicles, mainly only to be used in an emergency. An interesting thing about the truck trails was that all their maintenance was by hand. To stop erosion down the tracks men placed two small logs parallel to the road and hand shoveled a berm in the center with dirt and rock. These were well rounded and a vehicle hardly had to slow down to cross over them. Now the water bars are made by machinery and many are so rough and exaggerated that some low clearance vehicles can barely go over them.Throughout the district the only method of communication for a fire fighter was to either have a call from Gentry Lookout by the old style telephone from Gentry to the Ranger Station or go to one of the two telephones at Ranches, one at the Ryan Ranch and the other at Nelson Ranch on Brookbank Canyon. After receiving word of a forest fire from the Gentry Lookout the fire fighter had an approximate location of the fire and then sought out to find the fire. To aid them in locating the smoke there were many lugged lookout trees in all direction over the district. These were full grown large ponderosa pines that men had placed large long bolts into the tree from the bottom to the top that a man could then climb to the tree top and could then determine when the smoke was and how to get to it. These lookout trees were all signed and were not to be cut down or harmed by anyone passing by them.
Now the firefighters have radio contact any location on the district and the lookout if well qualified can mostly direct the crew to the fire. In the thirties instead of large hot shot fire crews the fire control was mainly done by the District Ranger and one or two Fire Guards as they were called. Another radical change since the thirties was that in those days if a fire was too much for the existing crew the Forest Service would demand any equipment or manpower from private individuals go to the fire to help contain it. Now the USFS wants the equipment from others to be certified before going to fight fire.
August 2022 | 9 One amusing incident with the lugged lookout trees happened in 1937 at the tree on the high ridge about 3 miles south of Overgaard on the present 51 road. Gibson’s had a sheepherder named Berhenio that read the sign “lookout tree” and misinterpreted it to mean “Caution Look Out Tree” and he thought that the tree was ready to fall and he spent the day herding the sheep away from the tree so it wouldn’t fall on them. To this day the Gibson family still calls that ridge as Berhenio’s Look Out Tree Ridge. Endangered...cont’d THEPITBRUSH Starting August 1st, the hours will be 7am - 3pm on regular days.

The man she has just married, not to be found. Alone, Weary travelers, having paused on route, In woods chosen for a brief respite, Where welcoming sun is now fading light. Waiting, She calls out and only the trees respond, A quiet whisper in the wind, “He’s gone.” She argues, “It couldn’t be. You’re wrong.”
Hopeful, Her father had advertised a dowry, Arranged the marriage, Paid the groom and provided the carriage. Lost for Eternity, Each day, the scene replays, Season after season, year after year, Her faith, innocence and purity so dear.

The Woman in White By Debbie White Burch www.journeyofthespirit.com
“sensitive,”
I moved to Heber from Maryland in 2000. I was having a house built, but it was not ready when I arrived. I had to live in another house the builder had, that was off of Pine Rim Road. I am what is called a and notice things that others may not. I noticed several times in the evening hours when I had to go out, a shadowy woman in a white dress just off to the side of the Pine Rim Road. I asked an older, local gentleman at a shop, if anyone else had ever seen this occurrence and was told yes. I prayed for an answer as to what I was seeing and was shown a vision. A woman from a ranch below the Payson area was advertised for marriage by her father, because she had reached the age of 30 and had not married. He offered money to whomever would take her for his wife, and a gentleman from the east appeared, and prepared to marry her. The wedding occurred, and they set off in the carriage up the Rim and with a gentle snow that had fallen when they reached the Heber area, he decided to pull off the road into the woods for the night. They lit a fire and setup for the night. Little did she know, that he never had any intention to keep her as his wife and he left her there in the woods and never returned. Hence, she roamed the woods which are now filled with houses, waiting for his return. I asked that she be given the gift of understanding that she was deceased and that he was never coming back for her and that her Spirit be set free to move on, and so it did. I never saw her image again, and I inquired if anyone else had, and the answer was no. I am also a poet, and I was asked a few years ago to submit a new work for an anthology, and this is what I wrote:. I hope this adds a little local flavor for people.
The Lady in White Confused, She rises from her seat and nervously walks about, Her beloved wedding dress, dragging the ground

One being Prop 408 - aka HOME RULE OPTION - The Home Rule option allows the Town Council to adopt its own budget limits locally based on local needs, service levels, and available resources. All cities in Arizona are required to have a balanced budget where spending cannot exceed available revenues. State law requires that cities in Arizona cap their annual expenditures either by adhering to a limit determined by a formula developed by the State in 1980, or by obtaining voter approval on an alternative expenditure limitation. The State’s formula does not take into consideration the level of services and programs provided to citizens by each city or town.

As we approach election time there are issues on ballots Arizona that you to aware of.
REALTORS want
The State of Arizona Constitution imposes a formula-based budget spending limit on Arizona cities and towns, including the Town of Payson and Star Valley. This formula-based spending limit does not take into consideration the services and programs provided to citizens by each city or town. As an alternative to this formulabased limit, the State Constitution allows voters of a municipality to approve a Local Alternative Expenditure Limitation, otherwise known as the “Home Rule” Option. The Local Alternative Expenditure Limitation, or “Home Rule” Option allows a city or town to adopt its own budget limits locally based on local needs, service levels and available resources. A “YES” vote on Home Rule would allow the Towns of Payson and Star Valley to continue to set its own budget spending limits locally via the budget adoption process, to budget expenditures up to its local funding level. The Town of Payson voters have approved the Home Rule Option every four years since 1982. To continue the Home Rule Option, it must be passed by the voters every four years. It was last passed in 2018. A “NO” vote would limit the Town expenditures to the State-imposed formula limit, resulting in a reduction in City services for next fiscal years, 2023//2024. Home Rule and permanent adjustments have been voted on and approved in more than 87% of Arizona Cities and Towns. Home Rule does not change the property tax or sales tax the Town currently collects. Approval to continue Home Rule only allows the Town to spend the revenues it collects, as approved in the annual budget. If Home Rule is not approved, the Towns of Payson & Star Valley will operate under the State‐imposed expenditure limit. Under this limit, the Town of Payson may not be able to expend all the revenues it collects to provide services such as police and fire protection, water, parks, and library services to Town residents. The current 2021/2022 budget for the Town of Payson is $49,511,900. The State imposed limit for 2021/2022 is $18,172,790 (including estimated revenue exclusions). If the Home Rule Option was not in effect, the Town would have to cut more than $31 million (62% reduction) in services from its budget.
With Home Rule, Town residents and the Mayor and Council will continue to decide what level of service is best for Payson. Home Rule allows the Town to expend the revenues it receives to provide services to residents. Each year, the Town will set its expenditure limit after citizen input through the budget and public hearing process.Because the Town is required to have a balanced budget, expenditures will be restricted by available resources.
This issue is important to our REALTORS ® and the Real Estate Industry because a failure to pass the “Home Rule” initiative would mean the defunding of Police and Fire protection, and restrict water, parks and recreation, library and other services. Without adequate Police and Fire Protection and limiting all the other services that the towns provide, it would be devastating for the community.
be
The towns are surrounded by National Forest and without proper coverage from both Police and Fire Departments a wildfire, could leave us at a huge risk of a fire wiping out the towns. There have been numerous wildfires in our area, especially the past few years since we have been in a drought. With a defunding of Police and Fire Departments along with limiting other services, consumers would not want to move here, which in turn sales would plummet with the possibility of lowering the market value on properties.

* * Try adding some finely chopped red onion, cherry tomatoes and/or hatch peppers next time for a twist. You could definitely make this the night before. I would recommend either waiting to add the dressing or just adding half the dressing initially. Then add the remaining half (or all) of the dressing right before serving. The dressing is super creamy so it will soak into the pasta salad quite a bit so it’s best not to let it sit for too long before serving. Hope that helps! Can’t wait to hear what you think!
