Dog’s barking saves family
75 CENTS
Trees topple; power dies by
Alexis Bechman
roundup staff reporter
A family’s vehicle was destroyed last week when a tree limb snapped during a winter storm that dumped more than a foot of snow on Payson. Nick Payne says a “mighty oak” fell Friday out in front of his home on South Manzanita
Drive and East Juniper Street. The tree’s branches draped over the power lines, stretching the line. The tree crushed Payne’s 2002 Mitsubishi Galant parked below. On Monday, half of the tree was still standing, which Payne

‘No bad days’ Family recalls Greg Day’s laughter and courage by

Flames consume home in Pine by
Alexis Bechman
roundup staff reporter
A family lost their Pine home early Saturday morning, but escaped uninjured likely thanks to their dog. Around 4:45 a.m., the Randall family awoke to their dog, Duke, barking incessantly. They looked outside and saw flames in the carport, near Clayton Randall’s bass boat, said Pine-Strawberry Fire Chief Gary Morris. “The real hero here is Duke,” he said. “If he had not been barking it could have been a tragedy.” The family, including Clayton Randall’s wife and their 18-year-old son, grabbed what personal items they could and ran outside. Firefighters found the 5,000-square-foot home in the 6100 block of South Rose, fully involved when they arrived. It appears the fire started near the bass boat and quickly extended to the carport and then the home. “It was a very rapid spread,” Morris said. Crews used water from a pond downhill
from the home to attack the blaze, putting three attack lines in place. “The volume of the fire exceeded the capabilities of the hose streams to knock it down,” he said. All of P-S units were on scene and Payson sent a water tender truck and a battalion chief to help. Morris said it was incredibly difficult to fight the fire given the weather. It was 22 degrees and the water quickly turned to ice on the driveway, creating an ice skating rink. Three firefighters slipped and fell, but were uninjured. Investigators believe the fire started near where the bass boat’s battery was attached to a trickle battery charger. No official word yet on how the fire started. The family had a lot of support from family and friends on scene, Morris said.
Duke’s frantic barking woke the Randall family early Saturday morning in time to escape the flames that ultimately destroyed their 5,000-square-foot home in Pine.

Fighting wildfires may do more harm than good by
THE WEATHER
So many loved Greg Day that the family will hold a celebration of his life at the Payson High School Auditorium on Jan. 16 at 10 a.m. “Whoever wants to come, I hope they come,” said Jeff Day, Greg’s middle son. The well-known Payson restaurant owner lost his brave, five-year struggle with cancer last week, sending ripples of grief throughout the community. Greg’s wife Cari said the schools knew their family well since all three children graduated from Payson schools and Greg raised the money for the digital sign on Longhorn that announces district news. He also did the rock work for the Payson High School entrance sign. Jeff said his father loved building so much the family had a working vacation home south of Tucson.
“We would take family trips down to Cochise (the family name for the home),” said Jeff. “It was a vacation home, but it was an empty shell of a house in the middle of nowhere. Jeff laughed as he remembered how his father would inspire he and his siblings to work. “At the time, we thought it was hard work,” he said. “He made it fun. He didn’t push us too hard.” After getting a little remodeling in, Jeff said the family would take hikes or ride dirt bikes, a passion Greg brought with him from his youth. Both Jeff and Cari said there was no way to forget Greg’s smile or his huge laugh, always accompanied by a “smack on the back.” “You talk about that smile, it was an infectious smile,” said Jeff. “He would slap you on the back — almost too hard.”
Forest fires the U.S. Forest Service has extinguished for decades would have provided much better protection from even worse fires had they been allowed to burn, according to a study by the Rocky Mountain Research Station. The research demonstrates the likely benefits of thinning and fire management practices increasingly common in Rim Country, as applied this past summer when the Forest Service took advantage of wet monsoon conditions to manage many fires rather than rushing to put them out. Two fires that burned several thousand acres on
the C.C. Cragin watershed provide one local example. The low intensity ground fires produced lots of smoke that alarmed many Rim Country residents, but in the end mostly consumed brush, downed wood and saplings — leaving the forest in a healthier condition. Moreover, the fires effectively created a firebreak that will protect a portion of the watershed of the C.C. Cragin Reservoir from the kind of high-intensity crown fire that could produce such a dramatic increase in erosion that it would severely reduce the capacity of the reservoir to store the water on which Payson’s future depends. The Rocky Mountain Research Station researchers essentially computer modeled that sort of approach to wildfires based on decades of fire records in the
watersheds around Yosemite and Sequoia KingsCanyon in California. They mapped each of the small, lightning-caused fires crews rushed to suppress during relatively damp times of the year. Then they used computer models to predict how large an area those relatively low-intensity fires would have burned had crews not put them out quickly. Next, they mapped the larger, more destructive fires. Fighting those major, intense fires now consumes about half of the Forest Service budget, but they still often grow to hundreds of thousands of acres. These mega fires can permanently alter ecosystems and destroy whole towns.

The gavel for the presidency of the Gila Community College board has passed from Sam Moorhead to Jay Spehar of Globe just in time to grapple with declining enrollment. At its Jan. 7 meeting, as the
snow poured out of the sky to close the Payson campus, Senior Dean Stephen Cullen reported that the fall semester saw a decrease of 79 full-time student equivalent (FTSE). FTSE is equal to one student taking a full load or 12 credits. Many take from one to six credits
to take advantage of a break on tuition costs. Between all of the GCC campuses, the FTSE came to 684.6. The board will hold a special meeting Jan. 21 to discuss enrollment, tuition and accreditation. The college’s enrollment has been declining for the past sever-
al years, as the college has experimented with first eliminating free tuition for seniors, then restoring a sharply reduced rate. The state recently relaxed a rule that would have prevented the district from seeking independent accreditation if FTSE remains below 1,000.

Nine non-residential customers in Tonto Basin lost power due to ice on overhead lines, causing the lines to sag. Power went out around 9:30 p.m. Sunday and was back on by 1 p.m. Monday, said Anna Haberlein, communications consultant, media relations with APS. In the Christopher Creek area, 2,300 cus-
tomers were without power on Friday due to snow and ice accumulating on the lines. The outage occurred at 2:45 a.m. Friday and all customers had power back by 3:30 p.m., Haberlein said. Around Payson, residents reported the fall of several trees that left a litter of branches and damaged fences.

He laughed — remembering. Cari talked about how the two met in Oregon. “He didn’t kiss me for 10 dates because he said he thought I was the one,” she said. Cari has a smile that has megawatt brightness, hard for anyone to miss. Everyone talked about how perfect the two were together. While in Oregon, the Days ran the Jem 100 restaurant, which Greg had started with his dad — building it from the ground up. It was successful, due to Cari’s background in hotel management and Greg’s construction experience and business degree. When Cari’s parents moved to Arizona, they followed, at the same time deciding to get out of the restaurant business. “I was in banking and he was in lumber,” she said. His job took them all over, even into South Carolina. But the two pined to own a restaurant again. So they opened one in South Carolina before driving through Payson, said Cari. Then Payson stole their hearts. “We went to Payson and there was just an empty building on your right hand as you came into town,” she said. “We only had $20,000 and one car so we got the house above the old Macky’s so we could walk to work and share the car ... we had a line around the restaurant on the third day.” The reputation of Macky’s continued to grow and it won polls for best restaurant year after year. The restaurant and the family became an institution. All three of their children went through Payson schools and Cari said they could not have done the restaurant without them. “All the kids worked in the restaurant,” she said. The restaurant taught the kids good lessons.
Longtime restaurant owner Greg Day in 2013 received an award as the “most inspirational” person in Rim Country, voted on by Roundup readers. Here, Roundup publisher John Naughton presents the award at the Best of Rim Country ceremony. Jeff said he feels one of his father’s lasting legacies was his work ethic, which he happily shared not only with his family, but his children’s friends. Jeff remembers his friend Max, who learned a lifelong lesson from his father after a short time working for Greg and Cari at Macky’s. The story goes that Max was anxious and stressed out and not having any fun at all waiting on tables. Greg sat Max down in the middle of rush hour to have a heartto-heart talk. “You know Max, if you’re not having fun with this, it’s not worth it,” Greg said.
Max decided to try again and see the fun in it. He ended up working at Macky’s for many more years and now is an officer in the Air Force. But Jeff said he’s always made sure he’s having fun. Cari and Greg put family squarely at the center of their lives. Well, that and karaoke. “Our entire family sings loudly and proudly,” said Cari. “We’ve had a karaoke machine for 20 years ... it’s our family’s No. 1 entertainment.” Jeff said Greg had a knack for choosing just the right song for whomever he DJ’d for. But Cari and Jeff said they would not forget the last trip
the family took together to the Bahamas. What made it extra special for the Days — even though their kids are adults living out of the house and involved with others, the family made the trip with just Greg, Cari and the three children, Allie, Trevor and Jeff. “We did it with just our kids,” she said. “He was just determined (even though) he wasn’t feeling great. He went swimming with the dolphins and flew on a trapeze.” But that was his way, she said. “He never missed a beat,” said Cari. “We always said, ‘No bad days’ because his last name is Day.”

Payson takes action to ease fire danger We’re ready to burst into flames of happiness. Payson has finally taken effective action to address the single biggest threat to the survival of this community: Wildfires. The Payson Fire Department has been going door to door assessing the fire risks posed by overgrown properties all over town. If the firefighters like what they see, they leave a green, informational door hanger. If they see things that pose a threat to both the homeowner and his neighbors, they leave a red sticker in hopes property owners will call and find out what they can do to protect themselves and their neighborhood. The program remains entirely voluntary. The department won’t issue a citation or force homeowners to clean up their lots. They’re hoping that most homeowners will have the good sense and sense of responsibility to clean up their lots. The council has long insisted it prefers public education and a voluntary approach: Here’s a chance to see if it works. In addition, Payson has obtained a $71,000 federal grant to help cover the cost of clearing hazardous thickets of brush, both from town-owned property and private property. For eligible properties, the grant will cover 90 percent of the cost of the cleanup. So far, firefighters have surveyed 370 properties in the southwest side of town. Next, they’ll work their way through 237 properties on the south end of town. We’ve been frustrated for two years now at Payson’s halting efforts to deal with the threat of an approaching wildfire scattering glowing embers on rooftops and treetops all over town. If you go up on the overlook along Airport Road, you’ll see that Payson’s just wall-to-wall trees. Town ordinances discouraging the removal of any native trees have played a role in the dangerous buildup of brush and trees. We have long urged the town to both adopt a wildland-urban interface building code and to do much more to encourage Firewise treatment of every lot in town. We vowed to not stop urging Payson to do more in the wake of the terrible grief and frustration that arose from the deaths of the 19 wildland firefighters battling the Yarnell Fire. They died fighting desperately to protect a community that didn’t have an adequate fire code and hadn’t cleared the thickets of brush and trees from its doorstep. We resolved then to keep pushing until Payson and Gila County and Star Valley all took the steps necessary to ensure no firefighter will have to die for our indifference and negligence. That’s why the door-to-door effort by the Payson Fire Department represents a huge step forward — especially when combined with the grant money to help homeowners protect themselves and their neighbors. Please note — the wonderful El Niño winter that has left snow piled on the side of every street may actually make this year’s fire season especially frightening. All that winter moisture will result in a bumper crop of grass, weeds and shrubs — the perfect way to get a good fire going if the spring turns dry and the drought returns. So Payson’s newfound initiative when it comes to alerting people to the threat of wildfires couldn’t come at a better moment. Hopefully, this means 2016 will be the year Payson finally takes action to safeguard against wildfire — and no one will have to burst into flames.

Some information in paper misleading Editor: We have been coming to the Rim Country for about 25 years, but just recently have moved here. After reading your paper somewhat regularly for the last couple months, I have noticed some very misleading — bordering on dishonest — reporting in the Roundup. The perfect example, out of many, is your above-the-fold headline from Tuesday, Dec. 29 stating “Child abuse deaths rise.” You choose an arbitrary starting year of 2009 and use an alarming headline as if it is some kind of widespread outbreak going on. While you do mention within the text of the story that in reality child abuse deaths declined over the last year, you still use the attention-getting alarmist headline that child abuse deaths are rising. Another great example is your editor’s incessant, alarmist, ramblings on the hoax of global warming. It seems as though every chance possible Mr. Aleshire tries to promote this agenda. Of course he can come up with any number of statistics stating there is global warming, but in reality there has not been any warming in almost 19 years. The 97 percent myth has been proven to be a lie. The 97 percent is in actuality 77 climate scientists. In reality there are over 31,000 scientists who disagree with global warming (99 percent disagree with global warming). It is always interesting to read that when one disagrees with the false assertions of the global warming alarmists, we are called deniers or told the science is settled. Is it settled like it was in the ’70s when we were supposed to have another ice age? Climategate has not been discussed by Mr. Aleshire where scientists being paid much money were told to “hide the decline” in temperatures. John Coleman, the founder of The Weather Channel has come out and admitted that global warming is the greatest scam in history. In 2014 Antarctica and the Great Lakes had record ice. Anybody who says that 2014 was the warmest year on record never points out that these statistics are skewed by the Urban Heat Island effect and were cherry picked to come up with the data to support their false claims. Where was Mr. Aleshire’s reporting out of NASA that burning fossil fuels cools the planet? The global warming agenda is all about one thing and one thing only, control. I could go on and on and on, but I think you get the point. As with almost all “reporting” nowadays, the Payson Roundup and its editor report the “news” with their own subjectivity. Not very impressed so far, but still love the Roundup in general and the Rim Country, everybody here is so nice. Bob Hugeri Editor’s note: Mr. Hugeri has a point about the child abuse headline — could have focused in the headline on the one-year decline instead of the three-year increase. Given the rise in reports and the problems with the case investigation backlog, the focus on the increase seemed more accurate in the end. Still, I could have used a different headline. As to the reporting on the evidence of climate change, I got no dog in that fight. I would much rather we had no worries
in that department. But I do feel an obligation to report what I’m getting from scientists and reading in the scientific literature. Here’s what Wikipedia says on the climate consensus issue: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_opinion_on_climate_change. Here’s what NASA and NOAA say about temperature records in 2014: http://www.nasa. gov/press/2015/january/nasa-determines-2014warmest-year-in-modern-record. I do agree that lots of groups and businesses want to spin the facts in their favor — whether it’s solar energy companies seeking subsidies or oil companies who want to burn all their reserves. Still, the facts are the facts — and we’re doing our best to dig them out. I also agree with Mr. Hugeri on one crucial point — the rest of the people at the Roundup are wonderful and everybody here in Rim Country is so nice.
Obama and gun control Editor: President Obama recently gave his much-vaunted speech on what he intends to do, unilaterally, on gun control, since the United States Constitution and the United States Congress don’t measure up to his agenda. If it weren’t for the fact he was lying through his teeth in practically every word out of his mouth, and every crocodile tear he shed, he almost sounded presidential. He wants to require anyone engaging in the business of selling firearms to be licensed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. Problem is, that is already a law. It is an illegal color of law without constitutional authority, but his executive order changes nothing. Of course, he wants to tighten up the definition to include anyone selling any gun to anyone, even once. Problem is, he doesn’t have the authority to do that. Congress doesn’t have the authority to do that. The Constitution does not delegate the authority to government to do that. He whines and snivels and wipes away tears about the children who have lost their lives to what he calls “gun violence.” Except that it is not gun violence; it is people violence encouraged and facilitated by policies pretending that hanging up a sign and making a rule is going to turn criminal predators into harmless saints. He bemoans the loss of rights of the victims; the loss of their right to practice their religion, while he advances policies prohibiting Christians from practicing the tenets of their religion. He bemoans the victim’s loss of rights to an education, the loss of their right to travel ... but never a word about the loss of our Fourth Amendment right to be secure from government interrogation and search in the absence of probable cause of criminal conduct, or the loss of our Fifth Amendment right to due process, or the loss of our right to a federal government exercising only those powers constitutionally delegated, all violated by his compelled background checks for even handing a gun to a friend to marvel over. Never a word about the violation of every prohibition against government tyranny that is the very structure of our rule of law.
Mr. Obama’s speech was the most blatant, flagrant trashing of the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights I have ever had the misfortune to witness. This is what happens when a free people turn their rights over to government and ask government permission to exercise rights government, by supreme law, has no authority to issue or deny. Donald L.

Support for Amnesty project appreciated Editor: Amnesty International is a Nobel Peace Prize winning grassroots human rights organization with more than 7 million supporters worldwide working to protect basic human rights for all people, everywhere. On behalf of Payson Amnesty International local group 1101, I would like to thank Mayor Evans and the Payson Town Council for the fifth proclamation, made on Nov. 19, recognizing December as Human Rights Awareness Month. This proclamation is unique to Payson. For five years it has launched a month of human rights activities, bringing citizens together to “Write a Letter and Save a Life” by joining in the annual Global Write for Rights letter writing campaign. Payson Public Library hosted the event for the second year, providing a perfect environment for activists young and old to write letters to free prisoners of conscience, individuals imprisoned solely for the peaceful expression of their beliefs or identity. Three area churches — Payson United Methodist, St. Paul’s Episcopal and Mount Cross Lutheran — hosted letter-writing opportunities. More than 50 folks attended the actual writing event. In just three weeks, Rim Country activists wrote a record-breaking 524 letters! These included demands to governments to free those unjustly incarcerated, letters of solidarity to those imprisoned and letters of support to families awaiting their release. These events would not have been successful without the support of the following individuals, businesses and organizations, a special thank you to Payson United Methodist Church, St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, Mount Cross Lutheran Church for your congregations’ participation and support of the write-a-thon; Payson Kiwanis, Zane Grey Soroptimist and Rim Country Democratic Women for your ongoing support; Payson Public Library for your gracious hosting of the event; Postnet for your patience and support in all of our copying needs; and most of all, Rim Country residents and visitors who continue to support Payson Amnesty International’s human rights events. Payson Amnesty International meets the third Monday of each month from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Payson United Methodist Church and the fourth Wednesday of most months from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Crosswinds Restaurant. We have the power to change someone’s life just by writing a letter. Join us as we continue to work for human rights both locally and globally. Please call 928978-1268 for more information.

Payson pinpoints fire-threatened homes by
Alexis Bechman
roundup staff reporter
Payson firefighters assessing homes and yards for survivability in a wildfire just might leave a red tag on your front door. Homeowners with yards full of brush and trees may be eligible for funding to help thin their lots nearly free. The Payson Fire Department recently received federal grant to get yards tidied up, including several pieces of town-owned property. The town will get $71,600 to clean up 40 acres of private land and 20 acres of town property over the next two years. The goal is to reduce hazardous fuels and establish defensible space around homes. Homeowners should contact the fire department and a captain will assess the property and make treatment recommendations. Homeowners then call a qualified contractor to remove the vegetation and take it to a brush pit. Once complete, homeowners can receive 90 percent reimbursement for the work. Fire Chief David Staub said crews would focus on removing ladder and ground fuels to slow the progress of a fire and will not be clear-cutting a yard. The treatment will reduce the number of trees to break up the
canopy, keeping only the healthiest trees. On town property, Staub would like to see 22 acres cleaned up to Firewise standards to show homeowners what they can do. Work would include 10 acres at 1000 E. Tyler Parkway; nine acres at Rumsey Park and North McLane Road; 1.5 acres at 1614 N. McLane Road and two acres at 1100 N. Falcon Crest Drive. Similar work has already been completed near the library. Red Tag/Green Tag Program update
The fire department’s Red Tag/Green Tag program is up and running. Firefighters have surveyed nearly all of the 370 properties in the southwest corner of town. Crews are leaving a green tag if a property appears defensible from a wildfire. They leave a red tag if they have recommendations for homeowners to make the property safer. The program is educational only and not enforceable. Crews will make their way through 237 properties on the south end of town next. That should be done by mid-April, Staub said. The program was supposed to launch sooner, but the town changed all of its phone numbers and the fire department had to order new door hangers. Once complete, staff will use a mapping program to produce a color-coordinated map

that shows the higher-risk areas in the community. Also at the meeting
• The council approved a $131,680 agreement with MGC Contractors, Inc. for preconstruction services of the C.C. Cragin water treatment plant near Mesa del Caballo and a hydroelectric facility. The contractor will help the town prepare the project, including pre-qualifying contractors, bidding out the project, select the subcontractors and several other tasks. The treatment facility should be complete and ready for the delivery of C.C. Cragin water by the spring of 2018. • High Noon Construction LLC was authorized to build a fish fence at the largest lake at Green Valley Park, known as lake No. 3. Crews will install 580 linear feet of wire mesh panels, welded to steel posts. The $53,000 project is being funded through money the town received in 1994 for selling its share of Central Arizona Project water. Part of the money was earmarked for projects that enhance or preserve watershed riparian habitats. The town plans to put Asian carp in lake No. 3 like those already in lakes No. 1 and 2. The fish help cut down on the amount of algae. Because the fish are foreign to the area, they cannot go into the Verde River. The fence will keep the fish in the lake in the event of flooding.

BISHOP REALTY
Disaster spawned a disastrous policy Peter Aleshire
roundup editor
The worst fire in the nation’s history brought out both the best and the worst in human beings. Unfortunately, the misguided lessons we drew from it have haunted us ever since. That’s why anyone who lives in the forest or votes for the state and federal officials who manage that forest ought to read “The Big Burn” by Timothy Egan, which recounts the short-sighted lead-in, heroic battle, and wrong-headed conclusions that flowed from the Great Fire of 1910. The largest forest fire in recorded history burned an astonishing 3 million acres, consumed whole towns and killed 87 people, mostly firefighters caught in a holocaust they had no hope of controlling. The public reverence for wildland firefighters goes back to the heroism of the illequipped, almost untrained crews that battled that epic blaze. Chief among the legendary figures is Forest Service ranger Ed Pulaski, who could have retreated to safety, but instead rushed toward the fire to try to save his crew. He ultimately led them into a mineshaft to escape the flames. He then forced the panic-stricken men to stay there at gunpoint, as the shaft filled with smoke. Five died but 40 survived. Trying to keep smoke out with wet blankets, Pulaski was badly burned and partially blinded. He later invented the essential firefighting tool that bears his name, but died embittered and broke — without even getting the medical care he needed from the country he had served so heroically. The search for a political scapegoat after the fire essentially saved the U.S. Forest Service from extinction — but also spawned an arrogant and doomed century-long effort to suppress all forest fires, which has left us in greater danger than ever. The Pulitzer-Prize-winning Egan does a masterful job of weaving intricate politics with heroic firefighting in his gripping account of the fire that changed the politics of conservation and land management for generations. His gripping detail, sweeping perspective and a deep sympathy for the people caught up in the cataclysm make the book a must-read for anyone interested in how management and politics has reshaped ecosystems of the West. The roots of the fire — and its impact — go back to President Teddy Roosevelt’s creation of the U.S. Forest Service in 1905, intended to safeguard millions of acres set aside at the birth of the modern conservationist movement. President Roosevelt faced ferocious opposition from the timber, mining and railroad industries and their bought and paid for representatives in Congress. But Roosevelt insisted that federally owned lands should be preserved and managed to benefit the public and generations unborn, rather than turning public lands over to industry and land spec-

ulators. The congressional patrons of the those industries fought creation of the national forests at every step. But Roosevelt set aside millions of acres anyway, entrusting the newly created Forest Service to Gifford Pinochot, an aristocrat with a passionate devotion to nature and wild places and a missionary zeal for preservation. Powerful elements in Congress refused to provide the money to pay more than a handful of rangers. Pinochot’s rangers built their own stations, lived on a pittance and did their frail best to protect public lands. President Roosevelt reluctantly fulfilled his promise to serve only two terms, but handpicked his successor — President William Taft. However, Taft soon came into conflict with the uncompromising and zealous Pinochot. President Taft ultimately fired him, leaving the Forest Service adrift and setting up conflict with his one-time mentor — Theodore Roosevelt. Then came the dreadful summer of 1910 — when a wet winter gave way to a ferociously dry summer. The grasses and undergrowth turned to tinder. Coal-fired trains continued to run through the dry forest, each engine throwing off sparks into the underbrush. By mid August, hundreds of fires burned across the northwest, with scattered Forest Service crews laboring to bring them under control with little equipment and not nearly enough manpower. On Aug. 20, a cold front moved into the region of Washington, Idaho and Montana, heralded by hurricane force winds of 60 to 100 miles an hour. Immediately, the hundreds of small fires merged into a firestorm beyond imagining. Smoke from the fire reached New York in the east and Denver in the south. Reportedly, smoke prevented ships far out in the Pacific from navigating by the stars at night. The thousands of firefighters including Army troops had no hope of controlling the blaze or even saving towns in the path of the
fire. Many could not save themselves. Afterward, a furious Pinochot and an indignant Teddy Roosevelt crusaded for a change in federal policy to avert such a calamity. They insisted only an expanded and adequately funded Forest Service could prevent such a tragedy from ever recurring. But in a tragic betrayal of passion and courage, they effectively drew the wrong lesson. Eager to turn the fire against his enemies, Pinochot argued that the mistake lay in not giving the Forest Service the resources it needed to put out fires before they could become monsters. He scourged his enemies in Congress with the specter of the fire and the heroic sacrifice of rangers like Pulaski. His successors at the Forest Service instituted the 10 a.m. policy, which aimed to extinguish any fire by 10 a.m. of the day after it was discovered. This also provided a rationale for a dramatic expansion in logging, to create a vast network of roads as well as removing millions of trees, all the while providing funding for the Forest Service itself. Tragically, the short-sighted devotion to fighting forest fires led to wholesale changes in forest ecosystems. Certainly, the 3-million-acre Big Burn took place before human beings had made extensive changes in the forest. Humans made the fire much worse by building towns without protection in the midst of the forest and scattering sparks carelessly all along the rail lines — but the Big Burn resulted from natural cycles of fire in the face of freak conditions like the hurricane winds of that fatal August. But a century of applying the wrong lesson has created a far more dangerous condition, with half-million-acre fires now increasingly commonplace. These vast fires burn ferociously, even without 80-mile-an-hour winds — creating their own, self-sustaining vortexes and sterilizing the soil beyond hope of recovery. So Egan’s compelling account of “The Big Burn” remains must-read for anyone wishing to understand forest management — or the complex threat of human arrogance.
Suppressing fires might increase danger From page 1A The researchers concluded that most of these large, dangerous fires during the driest and most explosive time of the year would have been contained and limited had the Forest Service allowed the smaller fires to burn during the rest of the year. “This clearly demonstrates how fire can create barriers to future wildfires in the form of fuel breaks, lessening the risk of catastrophic wildfire and potentially making safe management of the next wildfire easier. Studies also illustrate another hidden consequence of suppression: many ignitions would not have occurred because they were located on areas where an earlier fire would have left little fuel remaining on the site,” the researchers con-
cluded. Letting more fires burn would have in the end reduced the number of large fires and improved forest health by getting rid of downed wood, shrubs and debris — ensuring more, but smaller and less intense fires overall. However, the researchers learned that letting more fires burn within a target area could also provoke public opposition — and pose problems in areas where poorly prepared and protected subdivisions and towns are surrounded by forest. “The potential negative consequences of those fires that may have become quite large are extremely important and should be considered along with the potential positive consequences that might have occurred. Suppression decisions are based
on a complex suite of factors present at the time of ignition and are made without the privilege of hindsight or the certainty about weather conditions that exist after the fact.” The fires the researchers studied took place inside the boundaries of national parks, with few structures at risk should a
fire spread. “Suppressing lightning-caused wildfires runs counter to the goal of protecting natural and untrammeled qualities in the wilderness. Ideally, the decision to suppress or not to suppress a fire considers the possible consequences of allowing a fire to burn as well as the consequences of suppression.”

Staff commitment to care sends ER wait times down by
What other statistics show
Carol Baxter
special for mha foundation
The national standard in health care for “door to doc” — aka the average time it takes between a patient checking into the emergency department (ED) and being seen by a doctor in the Emergency Department — is 30 minutes. The good news for patients is that Banner Payson Medical Center (BPMC) achieved a time seven minutes below that average in November 2015, down a half-hour from the August wait time. (Note: these are average wait times. No emergency department can predict how many people will come in at one time or how sick.) Staff and technology have made this achievement possible. “The biggest change has been a change in culture and that you cannot buy,” BPMC CEO Lance Porter said. “It requires good leadership on both the physician and the nursing side. It is an environment where they communicate well and are part of a team and they have a sense of urgency to get people out of the waiting room and in for treatment.” Scribes now write down the doctor’s orders as they are given during weekdays. Nights and weekends, doctors use voice recognition software that allows the doctor to speak into a microphone instead of hunt and peck on the keyboard. Porter gave this example, “Every patient that comes in with shortness of breath or chest pain they all get the same battery of tests and lab work. ‘Nursing standard order sets’ are orders that have been approved by physicians as a best practice.” Now BPMC has the ED set up so nurses order those tests. Banner contracts with Team Health to provide ED doctors. Hospitalists and nurses are employed by Banner. Patient satisfaction in response to call lights was in the 90th percentile in November 2015 in part because of a no-pass zone, where if anybody, whether it is a housekeeper, an administrator, a nurse, or a doctor who sees the light is expected to go in and see if they can help. “Me, I’m not going to be able to start an IV or help the patient to the bathroom, but I can hear them and go and get someone who can,” Porter said.
Treat and release statistics show the average length of time between the doctor seeing a patient and the patient being sent home with a prescription or follow-up orders for your own physician. Admit Length of Stay is the average time between a doctor seeing a patient, deciding further treatment is necessary and that patient arriving at a bed. Left Without Treatment (LWOT) is a person who decides they don’t want to wait in the ED and seeks care elsewhere or decides they will perhaps, run an errand and come back. Proper triage helps keep this number under 1 percent. Telemedicine advancing
BPMC plans to roll out Emergency Department Tele-neurology and Emergency ICU (EICU) in the next couple of months. To have 24-7 coverage by a neurologist for all the stroke patients that walk in the door of a rural hospital is not possible. The neurologists at Banner University Phoenix will be immediately available via bedside camera when patients present with left side weakness, facial droops, and slurred speech. The neurologist will be able to ask the patient questions, give the nurse orders for tests, and decide if the patient can be managed medically in Payson or needs to be flown down to the Valley for surgery. “Show Low has the same program and they were able to keep about 80 percent of their stroke patients,” Porter said. “That is much better than being put on a helicopter and getting a huge bill when you could have been managed much closer to your home and family.” EICU is telemedicine in the intensive care unit. ICU trained nurses and intensivist physicians will monitor a patient 24-7 via cameras, microphones, monitors. Software trends each ICU patient’s vital signs and catches problems before a human could. Onsite staff then co-manages that patient with the EICU staff. “In 2014 Banner estimates that 1,890 lives were saved with EICU,” Porter said. “What I like is that this has demonstrated that we can detect signs of patient deterioration five to six hours before an adverse event takes place.” Revolutionary for Payson’s rural hospital.
Facts about the fee for not having health insurance in 2016 by
David Sayen
medicare regional administrator
Affordable coverage through HealthCare.gov is available. With financial assistance, seven out of 10 people can find plans with premiums of less than $75 per month. If you can afford health insurance but choose to not enroll for 2016, you may be required to pay a fee when you file your 2016 federal income taxes. Your best option is to visit HealthCare. gov, learn about the tax credits you may be eligible for, and enroll in a health plan that meets your needs, rather than risk going without insurance and paying a fee.
Facts about the fee
• The fee is calculated one of two different ways, depending on your situation. The fee for not having health insurance if you can afford it is calculated either as a percentage of your annual household income or a set amount for each person in your household who doesn’t have coverage. When you file your federal income taxes, if you are uninsured for more than three months despite having access to affordable coverage, you’ll be required to pay whichever amount is higher. Resources on HealthCare.gov will help you estimate the fee you’ll have to

sored health plan, Medicare, Medicaid or coverage through HealthCare.gov. The more months you go without coverage, the higher the fee you’ll have to pay, up to the maximum. • Exemptions from the fee are available for some. People with very low incomes and/or who meet other specific conditions can receive an exemption from the requirement to have health insurance. Additional information about exemptions and a tool that helps you determine if you qualify for an exemption is available on HealthCare.gov. • The final deadline to sign up for 2016 coverage through HealthCare.gov

Guest commentary
Finding effective treatment for America’s pain crisis by
Bob Twillman
american academy of pain management
The last thing the world needs right now is more suffering. More than 100 million Americans suffer from chronic pain, at an annual cost of $635 billion. That’s more than we spend treating cancer, diabetes, and heart disease combined. Worse, our efforts to treat this pain have led to a significant increase in the use of prescription pain relievers, with tragic and often ineffective outcomes. Taken together, these trends constitute a pain crisis — one that demands a new treatment model that better balances safety and effectiveness through the responsible use of prescription drugs and alternative therapies. How did the pain crisis come about? Advocacy for pain sufferers grew in the 1990s, as many medical professionals began to recognize that pain was being undertreated. To help their patients, they turned to powerful opioids like oxycodone and hydrocodone. Prescriptions soared. In 2013 alone, 207 million prescriptions were written for opioids. Today, hydrocodone still tops the list of most prescribed drugs. But opioids turned out to be more addictive and dangerous than previously thought. With long-term use, some patients develop tolerance, meaning they require higher doses to get the same amount of pain relief. The unintended, yet devastating, consequence of our current pain management practices is a prescription drug abuse epidemic — one punctuated by a four-fold increase in opioid-addiction related hospitalizations and triple the number of fatal overdoses involving prescription drugs, and a resurgence of heroin use. To reverse this crisis, health care providers need to treat both acute and chronic pain in ways that don’t exacerbate prescription drug abuse. Decades of research have shown the effectiveness of “multimodal” approaches to treating pain. A multimodal model maintains that treatment for pain requires much more than just using opioids. This approach focuses on treating the whole person through traditional methods along with
self-care, pain education and complementary or alternative treatments. Effective pain care regimens might include medications other than opioids, like acetaminophen — the same compound sold as Tylenol — or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin and ibuprofen. When combined with other therapies, this approach is known as “multimodal analgesia.” And it can expedite recovery and reduce morbidity, while carrying fewer adverse effects than opioids. Multimodal care also recognizes that pain is a multifactorial problem. It arises from a number of sources: surgeries, broken bones, diseases, or elusive causes — an inexplicable headache or back pain — that can be difficult to pin down, but no less real. Because pain is so unique and complex, every patient needs an individualized approach for treatment. Opioid pain medications are just one, oftentimes over-used, tool to treat pain. A multimodal approach might involve stress management and relaxation, physical therapy, improved sleep and nutrition habits, and exercise. And in some cases, a multimodal approach will mean getting patients on the right dose of an appropriate medicine. Moving toward a more integrated model of pain management will require a real investment in educating doctors and patients. Few physicians have adequate training in pain relief, and there’s a lack of standard practice to guide them. Non-drug alternatives have traditionally not been covered by insurance. They also require the patient to engage in the healing process and not expect a magic bullet. Safe and effective pain management is a balancing act. Careful and judicious use of prescription drugs will remain an important tool for physicians in treating pain. But they and their patients should not overlook other tools to relieve pain and improve quality of life. About the author

Season hangs in the balance by
Max Foster
special to the roundup
Beginning today, Tuesday, the Longhorns boys basketball team has a golden opportunity to improve its 2015-16 season record to a break-even 10-10 mark. From then on, its Katie-bar-the-door as the team, hopefully with renewed momentum, can continue its march into the postseason Promised Land. With its current 7-10 record, the Horns play today, Tuesday, Jan. 12 against Valley Christian in Wilson Dome. Tomorrow, the Horns travel to St. Johns and the following day play at Maricopa. Valley Christian sports an 8-6 record, but is 0-3 in away games. St. Johns is 6-2 and Maricopa is 11-6. Obviously, none of the three games are “gimmes,” but the Longhorns have proven to have the offense, defense and floor moxie to win three straight. During the stretch, the Longhorns will depend on contributions from the big four of Chaz Davis, Ryan Rickie, Alex Suárez and Ruben Estrada. Chaz Davis leads the team in scoring over 13 games with a 15.9 ppg on 53 percent shooting.
Davis has also shown good range, hitting 18 of 43 from beyond the 19-foot-9-inch line and has cashed in on 51 of 72 free throws. He also has a team high 97 rebounds, dished out 74 assists and has 53 steals. His marks are some of the best in the division. Rickie, a junior, scores at a 10.4 ppg rate and along with Davis is a force on the boards with 64 rebounds. His contributions also include 19 assists and 16 steals. Suarez, a 6-foot, 170-pound senior guard, has 22 assists, 15 steals, 30 rebounds and averages 6.5 points per game. Estrada’s contributions to the Longhorn effort include a 5.4 ppg average, 20 rebounds, 19 assists and 16 steals. Junior Korben White, whose father Denver was a former PHS football standout before a knee injury cut his senior season short, averages 4.4 ppg on a very respectable 50-percent shooting. With 21 rebounds, he can attack the boards when needed. With the outcome of tonight’s game crucial to Longhorn hopes, fans are encouraged to turn out in force — armed with plenty of energy to support the team’s march to the playoffs. Game time is 7 p.m.

huge part of Huff’s offensive strategy and he’s turned the duties over to sophomore point guard Aubrielle Paulson. “Everything runs through her,” Huff says. As evidence, she leads the team in assists with 40. Payson had to cope with a personnel setback last month when senior Arissa Paulson suffered a season ending injury. She had been a standout most of her career, but turned out late for the 15-16 season. She appeared to return to her top-notch form, scoring 15 points in a 43-39 loss to Round Valley on Dec. 19. On defense this season, Payson can run either zone or man-to-man and will switch depending on the situation. The team also has a full court trap, but when pressure is needed more often calls upon a 1-3-1 half court zone trap.

As a former three prep sport star and the son of a retired high school coach, Miles Huff understands the importance in high school athletics of day-to-day improvement. That’s why he pushes and prods the Payson High School girls basketball players he now coaches to focus on becoming better all-around players. “They are improving, our goal is to put a better product on the court each game,” Huff says. Which means the outcomes of a series of four games that began Monday against Alchesay in Longhorn gym (results not available at press time) are crucial to the hopes and dreams of Huff and his charges. Three or four wins could keep Payson in the run for a postseason berth, but a poor showing in any of the games would put a crimp in their goal of playing better as the season rolls along. The blockbuster stretch of games continues today, Tuesday, in Chandler against a highly regarded Valley Christian team. “They are a top 10 team, very good,” says Huff Huff is on target in his assessment, as VC is 15-1 and led by two players, Megan Timmer and Anna Gorman who are both averaging 16-plus points per game. The following day, Jan. 13, PHS travels to the basketball hotbed of St. Johns and on Jan. 14, Payson plays host to Higley.

Payson High School girls basketball coach Miles Huff hopes that an emphasis on a consistent, all-around game will pay off in a crucial series of games this week. thumped 62-24, on Jan. 6 by Cesar Chavez. So what type of strategy will the coach rely on during the stretch of crucial showdowns? He says he’ll pass on the fast break, run-and-gun-style so popular today and instead employ a more deliberate, pat-
terned offense. “We have good size, so we want to use that,” says Huff. In particular, Huff can call upon 6-foot senior center Rylee Chapman and sophomore Kylee O’Donnell to pound the boards for rebounds and put back points.
Chapman leads the team in scoring and averages more than 14 points per game. Moreover, O’Donnell “is a very good rebounder,” lauds Huff. In fact, O’Donnell leads the team in rebounds with 82, with Chapman second with 67. Floor general responsibilities are a

County gets grant for abused children Money will recruit volunteers by
Teresa McQuerrey
roundup staff reporter
Gila County has 157 children who need Court Appointed Special Advocates. However, the supply of volunteers who will advocate for children removed from their homes due to neglect and abuse remains badly lopsided. The court needs help to protect 56 children in northern Gila County and can rely on 14 C.A.S.A. volunteers. However, in southern Gila County, 101 children need help, but the courts have only four trained and registered advocates. Now, Gila County has landed a grant that would help train more south-county volunteers. Reporting the award of the grant to the Gila County Board of Supervisors Jan. 5, the program’s coordinator, Dan McKeen, said, “These figures, so grossly inverted, were the primary motivator for increased budgetary requests as Superior Court staff and C.A.S.A. staff attempted to establish a permanent presence in Globe to facili-
tate recruitment of volunteers.” In March 2015, the Director of State C.A.S.A. advised the county of a potential grant program to improve local programs — the Victims of Crime Act Grant (V.O.C.A.) managed by the Department of Public Safety, C.A.S.A. of Gila County and Superior Court Administration identified the V.O.C.A. grant as a way to pay for recruitment efforts in southern Gila County. With the support of Presiding Judge Tim Wright, the county’s C.A.S.A. program landed a grant for $61,790 from V.O.C.A. The county will provide services worth about $15,000 to satisfy the need for a 20 percent local match. The money will help hire staff to help recruit C.A.S.A. volunteers for the children of southern Gila County. McKeen is based in Payson. “The V.O.C.A. initiative will enable the C.A.S.A. Program to establish a presence in Globe. Office space, office equipment, and other intangibles have been arranged (also without cost to the county). This grant would fund one full-time employee to

operate as a recruiter in Globe and provide for some travel expenses. The ultimate goal of Gila County’s V.O.C.A. grant would be to build the number of C.A.S.A.s in Globe to better serve the dependent children in southern Gila County,” McKeen said.
C.A.S.A. volunteers meet with court workers, child protective services, relatives, parents and others to make recommendations to a judge about how to handle cases involving children suffering from neglect, abuse or abandonment. These volunteer advocates provide a voice for these children in court and advocate on their behalf in matters such as services and placement. C.A.S.A. programs are established in every county in the state with proceeds from unclaimed lottery winnings, with added support from the Administrative Office of the Courts — Court Improvement Program. Funding is allocated at the discretion of the Administrative Office of the Courts — Dependent Children’s Services Division. Gila County’s C.A.S.A. program has requested budgetary increases over the past two years, but the supervisors rejected the request. A story on the program in the Dec. 8, 2015 Payson Roundup by Alexis Bechman reported the funds the county has received in the past barely cover McKeen’s salary, a secretary and gas to drive between Payson and Globe. The supervisors accepted the grant award.

Curtis David Vick (1939-2015)
Curtis David Vick, devoted husband, loving father, protector of and provider for family, crossed the bar into God’s celestial community while at home in the care of his loving family on the evening of Dec. 19, 2015. Curtis rejoined Dorinda, love of his life and wife of more than 53 years, with whom he so longed to be reunited. Curtis was born into humble means to Mamie Rose Thomas and Herschel David Vick in Russellville, Ky. on April 6, 1939. From an early age, he was often compelled to be his mother’s little man and be strong for his six younger sisters. The hard times during those days made a deep and lasting impression on him. A young Curtis escaped into books when he could, beginning a life-long love with literature, scholarship, and poetry. Curtis met Dorinda in Tucson, Ariz. while serving in the Air Force. With the encouragement of an older, wiser serviceman, he earned his GED, and then began attending Arizona State University while working jobs in construction and surveying to support his growing family in Tempe. By the time Curtis was finished with his formal education, he had earned a B.A. and M.A. in English, an ascension
from poverty of which he and his family are very proud. Curtis was a teacher by nature and career for 30 years, having taught English at the high school and community college levels in Payson and Mesa, Ariz. His favorite author was Faulkner; his favorite novel to teach was Huckleberry Finn. Curt was a good conservative in life philosophy, and always had unabashed opinions on the issues of the day. For his crowning artistic achievements, Curtis wrote and published two novels, “Shadows In Jerome” and “The Outdweller” and one instructional book of poetry, “The Poetry Book.” Curtis loved and is survived by sons Steven and Jonathan, daughter Pamela; grandchildren Jeremy, Savannah, Brandon, Kellan, Falina, and Madison; and sisters Shirley, Annette, Janice, Vicki, Darlene, and Sharon. A celebration of his life with military honors will take place at 1 p.m., Saturday, Jan.16 at the First Congregational Church in Prescott, Ariz. Funeral services were entrusted to Wakelin Family Funeral Homes. Please visit www.ruffnerwakelin.com to view and sign Curtis’s guestbook and for directions.

Throughout his time in Payson, Greg frequently traveled down to a project house that his family called “Cochise.” This unusual vacation home started as an empty shell of a house that Greg and the family built together during their vacations and trips. The time spent teaching his children how to work on houses and ride dirt bikes will be cherished and appreciated for years to come. Greg’s legacy will continue through the traits that he has passed on to his children and friends. Among them are his unyielding example of hard work and dedication, his unstoppable
work ethic, and his unavoidable tendency towards happiness. For those who knew Greg, it was easy to see how many people he affected each and every day through his patience, wisdom, and sense of humor. He will be remembered as a loving husband, proud father, thoughtful son, great brother, generous boss, caring friend, and above all, excellent role model. Celebration of Life will be held at the Payson High School Auditorium on January 16th at 10:00 a.m. Please wear clothes with brighter colors to reflect Greg’s bright attitude in life. In lieu of flowers, Greg and the family would ask that you donate to a fund to assist in family travel from out of town, as well as Payson Schools Beautification.

Peter Aleshire
roundup editor
Roundup editor Peter Aleshire, on the other hand, actually drove up into the storm on Friday and got these much more subdued photographs of snow on Tonto Creek (above and off the Forest Road 300 parking area just as you top out on the Rim.
section
The snow drifted down. The time clock spun round. The presses made not a sound. On this the last day available to burn off the vacation time, Payson lay paralyzed by a glorious 15 inches of snow. I should have been popping bon bons in front of an open fire or whatever the heck it is that non-workaholics do on a use-it-or-lose-it day off. Instead, I dropped by the paper to see if they needed me with the snow and all. Sherrie, who holds the current world record for not taking vacation days, rolled her eyes when I appeared. “I thought you weren’t here.” “I’m not here,” I said. “That’s what you said yesterday,” she replied. “I wasn’t here yesterday.” She rolled her eyes. So I ventured out into the snow-covered parking lot on the edge of the storm and wondered what I could do to make myself happy. Tricky thing, happiness — or so all the studies agree. The Constitution itself guarantees our right to chase it, but not necessary to catch it. I stared toward the cloud-shrouded Mogollon Rim. Overhead, the storm had spent itself — leaving growing gouges of light in the clouds. If the storm broke just right, I could get some awesome shots from the Rim. Maybe I should drive up into the cloud, chasing the light. Suddenly decided, I climbed into the Jeep and drove north. The storm battled the persistent sun all the way up, reluctant to relinquish its grip on a forest turned into a fantasy of ice and snow. I drove along, gusting between joy and anxiety — tempted by every plowed side road. At such a moment, I perfectly understand how I ended up at the Payson Roundup — and why I now can’t picture myself leaving. I stumbled into it, planning bigger things and winding up in the perfect place despite all my plans. That’s the thing about happiness, it can sneak up on you. Lots of researchers have tried to quantify happiness — to figure out why some people bubble through their lives like fresh-popped champagne and others simply ferment. One series of studies found that people who value their time more than making more money generally end up happier. The research involved six studies with 4,600 participants, according to psychologists Ashley Whillans, A. Weidman and E. Dunn, and who published their findings in the Journal of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology. The psychologists administered a variety of questionnaires to thousands of people to tease out the link between how people valued their time and their levels of happiness. They found half of the people would generally sacrifice their time to make more money — even when they had to give up something they’d really like to do. Turns out, people who value money over time do so pretty consistently — whether it’s little day-to-day
things or major life decisions. Next, they looked at how the two groups compared when it came to their reported levels of happiness on another battery of surveys. Generally, they found greater self-reported levels of happiness among people who value their time over money. As it turns out, older people are especially likely to value their time over money. Now, that dovetails with another study, this one by published by the Journal of Consumer Research by Amit Bhattacharjee from Dartmouth and Cassie Mogilner from the University of Pennsylvania. This one looked at whether we’re more likely to gain happiness from extraordinary experiences or valued, day-to-day experiences — and whether the balance changes as we age. They found everyone reports finding happiness in extraordinary experiences, but young people rated the prospect of such experiences much more highly than older people. By contrast, older people tended to rate more highly small, ordinary experiences — like spending time with grandchildren. The researchers concluded young people seek to define themselves through these extraordinary experiences, but older people with a surer sense of who they are instead savor the everyday things in life. So, does driving into a snowstorm on your day off when you might get photos you can use on Tuesday qualify as valuing time over money? Does it qualify as an “extraordinary” experience — or one of the day-to-day pleasures of living in Rim Country. Topping out on the Rim, I found the snowplows had cleared Forest Road 300 for about a quarter mile to the snow play parking area. So I slid onto the road and skidded into the plowed parking lot. The storm had refused to loosen its grip on the Rim. Every needle of every pine seemed crusted with snow and ice. Snow continued to drift down, but I imagined I could distinguish cracks of light in the sky of gray. I donned the snowshoes and set off through the unbroken snow for the Rim. I hoped the storm would break, but the sky thickened. At length, huffing and puffing, I stopped and stood silent in the drift of snow. A wave of joy broke over me, like a storm on the Rim. The silence was perfect, except for the rasp of my breath, which condensed into clouds of ice vapor. I still can’t tell you how I would score the moment on the psychology questionnaire. It seemed extraordinary, but also the most accessible of pleasures. It seemed like the ultimate choice of time over money, but still I snapped pictures for the Tuesday outdoor page. All I can report for certain is that I felt irredeemably happy. So perhaps it comes down to this: Find the work you love in a place where ordinary pleasures seem extraordinary. Then again, maybe I’m just getting old enough that it makes me unreasonably happy to find I can still put on snowshoes.
