Woman saves her neighbor

Smoldering Education matters ashes nearly destroy home by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

Ashes cleaned up by renters caused a fire at a Christopher Creek unit on Saturday, March 12.

“It was primarily an exterior fire,” said Christopher-Kohl’s Fire Chief Robert Lockhart. “It was fortunate it was outside. We estimate about $16,000 in damage.”

The fire chief said the ashes were left in a bucket on the outside of a metal garage door. The ashes then caught the front of the house on fire.

Lockhart said by the time engines arrived, locals were putting water on the fire to contain the damage. He said despite the conscientious act of cleaning up their ashes, the peoAsh Disposal ple did not understand that an old • Eliminate all hot spots “fatigued” bucket with water or letting could have bulges ashes sit for days. that cause holes.

Ashes are the reason towns like Gaudette Insurance Agency Payson ban charcoal and wood fires at parks within town limits. Lockhart said propane barbecues and stoves pose less risk. “Let people bring propane and take your grill home,” he said. “If you allow charcoal or wood, they are going to throw it somewhere.”

Lockhart did say during the first year he worked as the fire marshal of Payson, he had four or five fires at locals’ homes because of ash clean up.

“They always say, ‘I’m going to move it in an hour,’ but they don’t,” he said.

The Christopher-Kohl’s fire chief worries about forest fires this year because the early rain encouraged grasses and brush to grow copiously and now it’s dry. “We had a pre-monsoon and early snows, but now the one- and 10-hour fuels are prolific,” said Lockhart, “It is bad this year.”

Classes like this computer science class at Payson High School play a key role in boosting the college attendance rate, which is also the goal of the newly formed Aspire Arizona Foundation.

Weak schools = Weak economy by

Expert lauds local effort to boost college attendance

Years of state cutbacks have weakened the educational system on which Arizona’s prosperity depends, according to Evelyn Casuga, with the Center for the Future of Arizona.

Casuga made her dramatic presentation before a meeting of Aspire Arizona Foundation, set up to bolster the educational system in Rim Country and reduce the cost to students of attending a hoped-for university in Payson.

Casuga’s presentation came at the end of a joint meeting with Payson Unified School District officials and board members of the Friends of Gila Community College, established to provide scholarships to local students. The group met to work out the details of

a plan to pay the cost of tuition of Payson High School students taking dual-credit college classes at the high school.

Casuga, a former head of community outreach for Arizona Public Service, lauded the group’s efforts to bring down the cost of a college education, which remains critical to the health of a 21st century economy.

Unfortunately, years of state budget cuts have dramatically increased the cost of a college education in Arizona and served to reduce the education level of the state’s workforce, she said.

She presented a series of dismaying statistics gathered by the Center, founded by former ASU President Lattie Coor.

Empowering parents to be teachers Talking to toddlers said key to success by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

The 3-year-old and his mother move down the aisle in Walmart in a staccato rattled of imperatives.

“Get down!” she snapped. Then, “Shut up! Stop that!” The burst of commands have little effect. The boy pulls items from the shelf, tugs on the feet of his infant sibling, “Quit it!” she orders.

Across the country, in a Chicago apartment in the projects, a mother colors with her 3-year old daughter and says, “We’re making such a nice picture.”

“I urm. I crulr a square!” responds the daughter.

“You’re colorin’ a square?” asks the mother, continuing the conversation.

They talk about what to use on the bear’s next square the why the bear has a frown on his face, and what other shapes the daughter wishes to draw.

Dr. Dana Suskind, of the 30 Million Words Initiative, says the way parents speak to their children makes all the difference to their future success.

“Thirty million words, it’s how many fewer words a child born into poverty hears by age 4 compared to a child born into more affluent circumstances,” she said.

Suskind bases her comment on the Betty Hart/Todd Risley study that revealed profound differences in exposure to language between low-income and higher-income children by the age of 4.

Moreover, using words in an

affirming way rather than as a series of negative commands or criticism can also profoundly affect the child’s ability to learn.

The Hart/Risley study found that the number and type of words young children hear affects early literacy skills and lifelong learning.

The difference can largely account for the social and educational gaps

Doctors say an 87-year-old Payson man is lucky to be alive after falling while on a walk last week and hitting his head.

Joe McVaugh left his Flowing Springs home and was down Flowing Springs Road when he reportedly slipped and fell down a steep cliff.

Cali Cole had spoken with McVaugh 20 minutes earlier when he stopped over to look at flowers she had recently planted.

As Cole headed off to work at Home Depot, she spotted McVaugh hanging off the side of the second bend, clutching long ragweed grass.

Cole jumped out of her vehicle and grabbed McVaugh’s hands. She helped pull him to the road, but when he stood up, Cole lost her footing and they both toppled over the cliff, rolling

A man arrested for harassing his ex-girlfriend the same day a judge put him on probation for threatening the woman now will serve 2.5 years in jail — the maximum sentence under the terms of his plea deal.

Cary Taylor Frocklage, 49, will also serve four years on probation for incidents involving his ex-girlfriend and an unrelated DUI. Frocklage said while he was not the “world’s best boyfriend” he never struck a woman and never will.

Addressing the two rows of Time Out Shelter volunteers in purple shirts, who frequently attend domestic violence sentencings, Frocklage said he is sorry and he takes responsibly for his actions.

“I love women,” he said.

Calley Anderson, with the Gila County Attorney’s Office, painted a different picture of Frocklage, saying he tormented his ex, hunting her down 12 hours after he was sentenced for harassing her, sending her abusive text messag-

Eleven veterans who served in wars from World War II to the Iraq War gathered at the Powell Place on a warm day to receive recognition for their service.

Former Marine and Hospice Compassus volunteer Joe Juharos coordinated the event.

He had a slew of retired military personnel to help him honor the veterans with song, a framed certificate, Veterans Affairs and military branch pins and a formal salute.

“No other Hospice honors Michele Nelson/Roundup the veterans like we do,” said Veterans, family members and local officials gathered last week to honor the service of military veterans living at Powell Place in Payson.

long observed between rich and poor once kids get to school.

But here’s the good news: Parents can give their children an edge no matter how much money they make — or don’t make.

Suskind, an intraocular implant surgeon, experienced this difference between two patients in her own practice.

In her book, “30 Million Words, Building a Child’s Brain,” Suskind told of the story of Michelle, born into poverty, and Zach born into an affluent household.

The challenge is that Suskind cannot implant an intraocular device until a child is 1 year old.

So when receiving the implant, a completely deaf child has heard none of the sounds or language necessary to make certain neural connections.

In her book, Suskind said infants boot up additional neural connections at the rate of 700 to 1,000 per second. By the time a child reaches the age of 3, they have booted up 85 percent of the 100 billion neurons needed to complete the brain’s physical growth.

“A significant part of the foundation for all thinking and learning,” said Suskind.

If children do not hear language, those connections have not been made.

“Those who are born deaf and receive implantation at a much later age will hear sounds, but rarely will they gain the ability to understand their meanings,” wrote Suskind.

It takes an investment of time and attention to help the brain catch up, said Suskind.

Michelle came from a lower socio-economic family who did not work with her on language after her implant. But that was not a surprise, the single mother just struggled to pay the rent. She often did not even send Michelle to school with a lunch or clean clothes.

When Suskind saw Michelle a few years after she received the implant, she was in a special education class struggling to learn basic skills.

“And then I saw Michelle, whose blue eyes absolutely identified her,” said Suskind. “I went over and gave her a hug. Michelle, having no idea who I was, looked up at me with a confused, shy smile. No longer the vibrant toddler I had first known, her sparkle seemed to have faded completely.”

In comparison, Zach had actively-engaged parents who got him tutors and worked with him

every day to boost his confidence and expose him to language.

By the time Suskind visited him in school while he was in third grade, he read at grade level and learned at the rate of his peers.

That doesn’t surprise local reading specialist Theresa Lammers. She has worked in the Payson Unified School District for more than 20 years. Over the years, she said she has watched the steep decline in children’s vocabulary when they start school. This lack of vocabulary then puts the child behind once they start to read. If a child does not understand the words “post office,” they not only have to learn the letters of the word, but must also learn the concept of post office. The child who has learned much more about the world from those early conversations with a parent has a huge advantage.

Lammers blames “screen time.”

“Parents just give them a screen and leave them — even in a restaurant,” said Lammers.

Once those students arrive in kindergarten, they often end up needing additional support. Even with that support, those children struggle throughout their time at PUSD and beyond, said Lammers.

Study after study proves what everyone knows — the kids of college-educated parents are more likely to go on and get a college education themselves.

The Hart/Risley study and Suskind’s research suggest the explanation may prove as simple as the way parents talk to their children.

Suskind decided she could do something to make a difference, because she also knows all parents want a good life for their children. Suskind figured they just didn’t know what to do.

That parent in the Chicago housing projects is one of the first parents Suskind’s TMW initiative helped. Her name is Shurand and she didn’t believe she could make a difference in her daughter Teshyia’s life, until she participated in Suskind’s 30 Million Words Initiative.

“When the TMW project started, it gave me a boost of confidence,” she said in a video on the TMW website (http://thirtymillionwords.org/), “Even though I wasn’t so good in school, it gave me a boost of confidence of teaching her the things that I did know and doing those.”

The video shows Shurand and Teshyia in various interactions, including coloring, reading a book and even playing with numbers when Teshyia shares fruit snacks with her mother.

“We only have four fruit snacks, so Mommy gets two and Teshyia gets two, right?”

Then Teshyia decides to take three and this gives Shurand the opening to talk about how that’s not the right kind of math, because “Mommy was supposed

to get two, too.”

The TMW initiative teaches parents that talking about math helps with math skills. Talking about shapes and spatial relationships helps with subjects like geometry.

But it’s all baby talk and play.

What makes the TMW initiative powerful is the in-home support. The children wear a small recording device, called the LENA. The TMW initiative takes the recordings and analyzes the number and type of words the child hears during a 24-hour period. Armed with the data from the recorders, TMW specialists then go into the homes and start helping the parents to speak more effectively to their children.

For Shurand, it changed everything.

“Before the TMW project, I did not know that your child’s learning process starts now, 0 to 3 years,” she said on the TMW website video. “I always thought it started at 5, once they started school.”

She now feels empowered to keep the learning going.

“What motivates me to keep talking to my child, is I want her to do better in life,” said Shurand.

“I don’t want her to have hardship and for things to be difficult — and I feel if I have this early start, I have a better chance to make that goal for myself.”

The TMW initiative is pretty new. It’s first study started in 2009 and results are still being collated. Suskind is currently making plans to eventually set up the program outside of Chicago.

In Arizona, TMW could find funding. First Things First, a voter-approved organization that uses cigarette tax money to support families with children from birth to age 5, has a grant process to fund organizations like TMW. Liz Barker, the vice president for communications and public affairs for First Things First, said the organization has broken up the state into 28 regions. Each region establishes its own programs.

“The regional counsels study the needs of their community,” she said.

Here in Gila County, the FTF region decided it needs to find an organization that helps parent education. On the FTF website, the Gila region has a grant proposal seeking a parent education organization. That grant application period closed March 14.

Unfortunately, TMW says it is not ready to branch out to other states just quite yet.

“That is really my next step,” said Suskind.

Polarization won’t lead to bipartisan

• March 14, 1922: John “Jack” Mack, co-founder of one of North America’s largest heavy-duty truck makers, is killed when his car collides with a trolley in Pennsylvania. The expression “it hit me like a Mack truck” (meaning something that creates a powerful impact) is part of the American lexicon.

• March 15, 1968: Construction begins on the Eisenhower/Johnson Memorial Tunnel in Colorado. Cutting through the Continental Divide at an average elevation of 11,112 feet, it is America’s highest vehicle tunnel.

• March 16, 1978: The oil tanker Amoco Cadiz wrecks off the coast of France. Although the French navy dropped bombs to open the hull immediately, releasing the oil where it was, much of the 68 million gallons of oil drifted to the coast.

• March 13, 1980: A jury in Winamac, Ind., found Ford Motor Company innocent of reckless homicide in the deaths of three young women that had been riding in a Ford Pinto.

We heartily agree with Rep. Paul Gosar on his position — but we strongly disagree with rhetoric.

Both Rep. Gosar, a Prescott Republican, and Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, a Flagstaff Democrat, have for years struggled to push approval of a massive, underground copper mine through Congress.

An international mining company, Rio Tinto, wants to mostly use robots to dig out 1.6 billion tons of copper-bearing rock some 1,300 feet beneath the surface. The company has already spent an estimated $1 billion and says it will ultimately spend $6 billion to dig a cave 1.5 miles long and 850 feet deep. The mine would produce 20 billion cubic feet of tailings — and could for decades provide as much as 25 percent of the projected U.S. demand for copper — a vital, strategic mineral.

The project would create lots of good jobs in economically struggling Southern Gila County. It could also play a role in the proposed Payson university project, since the University of Arizona might set up a school of robotic mining on the Payson multi-university complex.

So we supported the efforts of both Rep. Gosar and Rep. Kirkpatrick to win approval of the land exchange necessary to undertake the project as well as their efforts to move through the torturous federal approval process.

The unexpected designation as a historic site of an area above the proposed mine could further delay a project that has already spurred years of frustration. In the meantime, members of the San Carlos and White Mountain Apache Tribes, with some support from the Tonto Apache Tribe, want to stop the project because they say it could cause the collapse of a beautiful area covered in boulders they say is sacred ground.

Even so, we’d like to see the project put on a fast track to resolve the remaining environmental questions.

Nonetheless we’re also disheartened by the inflammatory rhetoric of Rim Country’s representative in Congress.

Elsewhere on this page he stridently attacks the administration and its “minions,” charging opponents of the mine with illegal abuse of power.

Alas, such polarizing rhetoric is quite the style in the presidential primaries. However, we’re hard-pressed to see how it will help maintain bipartisan support for this vital project.

Befuddling indifference Now, nobody hates kids.

Nobody wants them to get sick.

Nobody wants them to die needlessly.

So why would Senate President Andy Biggs bury a bill that would provide health care coverage for about 30,000 kids — at no cost to the state?

The House recently approved the restoration of the oddly controversial KidsCare program on a vote of 47-12 on HB 2309.

But President Biggs this week refused to even let the bill have a hearing before a Senate committee. Barring some miracle, the bill will die this week.

The bill would allow the state to expand eligibility for the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System to cover children in families making between 138 percent and 200 percent of a poverty-level wage.

Mind you, voters some years ago mandated just such an expansion. However, lawmakers cut off that expansion during the Great Recession. At the time, lawmakers argued that even though the federal government paid more than two-thirds of the bill, the state couldn’t afford its share given the steep plunge in state revenues when the housing market collapsed.

An estimated 60,000 people lost coverage at the worst possible moment — most of them children.

So then along comes the Affordable Care Act. One of the key strategies in extending coverage to more than 30 million Americans lay in the expansion of Medicaid programs like AHCCCS. To sweeten the deal, the federal government offered to pay 100 percent of the cost for the added children until at least 2017 — maybe 2019.

Arizona at this point is the only state that hasn’t taken the deal. Only Texas and Alaska now have a higher rate of uninsured kids than Arizona — and we have the most kids without insurance in the range covered by the expansion.

The House put various protections for the budget in HB 2309. The state would revoke coverage for the expanded population in the event the federal government in the future shifts costs to the state. That’s on the heartless side — but it certainly protects the state’s bottom line.

Nonetheless, President Biggs has buried the bill in a deep dark hole, demonstrating the nearly dictatorial power Senate rules give him.

That leaves us scratching our head. Why doesn’t Senator Biggs want to offer potentially life-saving care to maybe 30,000 children — at no cost to the state?

We can’t believe he doesn’t like kids.

Surely, he doesn’t want children to die for lack of health care.

What the heck’s he thinking?

We’re befuddled.

Arizona Land Exchange and Conservation Act signed into public law in December 2014.

Environmental groups, a D.C. lobbyist from the Clinton administration and other mining opponents encouraged the Forest Service and National Park Service to list the Oak Flat Campground as a historical site in a deceitful attempt to quietly undermine the copper project.

The Park Service has stated that historic properties can “be modified or even destroyed” and the mining company involved has stated that a “historic designation would not necessarily prevent the company from mining the land.” However, this historic site listing could postpone job creation and cause further delays to an already lengthy NEPA process which was recently estimated to take 1,709 days on average.

Last week, House Oversight and Government Reform Committee leaders including Chairman Jason Chaffetz, Subcommittee Chairwoman Cynthia Lummis and Vice Subcommittee Chairman Gosar sent letters requesting documentation related to the process for listing Oak Flat as a national historic site.

Make tuition-free college in Payson Editor: Payson, hopefully, will soon have a four-year college. A place where students from Payson and nearby communities can send their high school graduates to get a university degree without having to leave the community they grew-up in.

Most parents and some students will rejoice in the fact that the college will be close to home.

In an area they are familiar with, where the students can live at home, possibly where they can avoid having to work full-time and go to college at the same time. An opportunity to go to college without the expense of living away from home.

I was fortunate to go to college for over 12 years while serving in the military. I never attended classes on a traditional college campus. I went to classes hosted on military bases all over the country and overseas. Extension university classes. Correspondence courses.

Four or five classes a semester and sometimes six nights a week. All while serving my country during the day, being a husband to a working wife and a father to two children.

My college transcript reads like road map of places I went to school. I ended up with two diplomates, two associate degrees, a bachelor’s degree, a master’s degree, and two PhDs. The reason I am enthused about Payson having a university is that it will give local students of all ages, marital status, of limited income, and those wanting to stay in the community the opportunity to get a quality education.

The first free college in the United States was the City College of New York, founded in 1847.

Ten Nobel Prize winners went there. Although, I paid almost no tuition when I went to college, the books and other supplies were not cheap. I didn’t have to take out student loans since my wife and I had an income. My education would have cost over $200,000 or more if I had attended a traditional state university.

Let’s see. The national minimum hourly wage is $7.25. So at that rate, a student could pay his or her college expenses if they worked 171 hours a week.

Unfortunately, there are only 168 hours in a week.

Here are some countries that offer free college — in English, no less: Norway, Sweden, Finland, Germany, France, Slovenia and Brazil. I’d like to see the United States on that list. That’s why Alan Grayson Florida (D) introduced the Bernie Sanders “College for All Act,” H.R. 4385, in the U.S. House of Representatives.

I hope it becomes law, but in the meantime I suggest Payson and the surrounding communities form an alliance to make college in Payson tuition free by instituting a small sales tax now to make this possible. This would be an investment that would have a rich return.

More anti-gun blather Editor: A letter writer, continuing to push the tired old theme favoring general citizen disarmament, relates the tale of a friend who works for government and yet justifies his gun ownership by expressing a fear of government.

The letter writer uses the typical pejoratives of the anti-rights crowd, like “gun hugger,” and “infected by fear,” and conveys the idea of “being prepared” as foolish and unnecessary.

“Don’t worry be happy,” he says. “You have nothing to fear but fear itself.”

Obviously Aesop’s fable of “The Ant and The Grasshopper” is lost on the author.

The letter writer closes his thesis with the claim that “Eighty-eight is the number of gun deaths each day in this country.”

Aside from the fact that the figure he cites comes from the University of Chicago Crime Lab, which has a vested interest in justifying Chicago’s restrictive gun laws making self-de-

fense all but illegal, the author seems to be attributing the status of “living thing” to firearms. If so, he should be happy with “eightyeight gun deaths a day:” Pretty soon all the guns will have died off.

Celebrating spring Editor: After another winter of severe snowstorms and floods, I look forward to March 20, first day of spring, balmy weather, and blooming flowers.

Hundreds of communities welcome spring with an observance of Great American Meatout, asking neighbors to explore a healthy, compassionate diet of vegetables, fruits, legumes and grains.

Indeed, 56 percent of respondents to a GlobalMeatNews poll said that they were or are reducing meat intake. U.S. per capita red meat consumption has dropped by more than 16 percent since 1999.

Mainstream publications like Parade, Better Homes and Gardens, and Eating Well are touting vegan recipes.

Even the financial investment community is betting on plant-based meat start-ups, like Beyond Meat or Impossible Foods, while warning clients about the upcoming “death of meat.”

The reasons are ample. Last year, the World Health Organization found cancer to be associated with consumption of processed meats.

The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee recommended reduced meat consumption. The media keeps exposing atrocities perpetrated on factory farms. And, animal agriculture remains chief contributor to climate change and water scarcity and pollution.

Each of us should celebrate our own advent of spring by checking out plant-based foods at our supermarkets and vegan recipes on the Internet.

Debating popular vote change in presidential elections by

Peter Aleshire

roundup editor

A national movement to change the way Americans elect a president spurred a sometimes baffling, ultimately confusing pitch by Arizona state Senator Sylvia Allen in a Payson appearance before the Gila County Republican Party.

Allen spoke on a plan that would form a compact among the states to effectively cast their electoral votes for whoever won the popular vote — once all the votes are cast.

“In almost every election, by five o’clock, we know who’s won. In California, the conservatives stay home — what does it matter. What this says is every vote counts,” said Allen.

She said the current system concentrates most of the campaigning on about 10 swing states, which vote for the Democrat in some elections and the Republican in others. Reliably partisan states like Arizona and California see little active campaigning.

The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact would take effect once states with enough votes to elect a president sign on. The plan would require the states to give all their electoral votes to the national popular vote winner, not necessarily to the winner in that state.

Under the current state-by-state system, sometimes the winner of the popular vote loses in the electoral college. That has happened four times, most recently when George Bush lost the popular vote but won the presidency anyway.

So far, 10 states with 165 electoral votes have joined the compact, most of them Democratic-leaning states, including California, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland,

“Take caution before you start changing things. What may come from a bunch of bitter Republicans may come back to beat us.”

Bradley Beauchamp

Gila County district attorney

Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington.

Several normally Republican states are considering joining the movement, including Arizona.

“We need to change the system or we’re going to have a Democratic president from now on,” said Allen. “Let’s take up the argument. Is this going to make us a democracy (rather than a republic)? I don’t believe so. We elect our governor.

You elect me through a direct vote. We already elect our leaders through the direct vote of the people.”

“What do you mean make every vote count?” asked one confused listener.

“The president is elected clear across the country,” said Allen. “So on election night, (Senator Ted) Cruz gets the 100 and Hillary (Clinton) gets 70 — we don’t automatically say Cruz has won our 11 electoral votes. We see who’s won — the national vote, winner takes all. Electoral votes would not be awarded until all electoral votes were counted.”

“But Arizona is a red state — we want all our electoral votes going to Cruz,” said another audience member.

But another audience member objected.

“But look at Bush versus Gore,” said another audience member. “George Bush lost the national popular vote, but he won the presidency with 271 electoral votes.

If we went to the system Sylvia is talking about, we’d be referring to Al Gore as President Gore. With this new compact, if the Democrat wins, it means all our electoral votes go to the Democrat.”

But Allen countered that the new system would force candidates to campaign in every state — not just the swing states.

“The people that are really supporting this believe that it will really change the dynamics of our elections.”

Star Valley Councilman Andy McKinney said, “If the Democrats want

“We need to change the system or we’re going to have a Democratic president from now on.”

Sylvia Allen

State senator representing Rim Country

this so badly, why would the Republicans want it?”

Allen replied, “I don’t think we should base the decision on someone we don’t like.”

Another questioner said the effect would really be to prompt the candidates to do all their campaigning in the big, densely populated states — where media campaigns could reach millions. Instead of focusing on swing states, candidates would focus on big states. “These large states have the large electoral votes — why should we even go out and vote if our votes don’t count?”

Gila County District Attorney Bradley Beauchamp said the proposal would hurt Republicans, since Democratic candidates often rack up big majorities in big cities in the largest states.

He said in the last election seven Republican states, including Arizona, had 64 electoral votes compared to California’s 55. President Obama got 100,000 more votes in California than Romney got in the seven states combined.

And yet, Romney got nine more electoral votes in those six than Obama got in California.

“So even though you lost that popular vote by 100,000, those 64 (electoral) votes matter. When you go national, you’re kind of pinning it on the West Coast and those are the most heavily Democratic states. New York is already going to kill us. Take caution before you start changing things. What may come from a bunch of bitter Republicans may come back to beat us.”

He added, “So if in New York, Pennsylvania, Texas and California everyone decided they wanted the most liberal, socialist president on the planet, the rest of the country couldn’t stop them.”

Probation for shoplifting by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

A Payson woman was sentenced Monday to probation for stealing cosmetics from Walmart.

Carla Jean Brown, 51, will serve 24 months of supervised probation for attempted shoplifting.

In October, Brown went into the Payson Walmart cosmetic aisle and put several items in her purse and took another item out of the box and put the empty box back on the shelf.

She then went to a register and paid for several items in her cart, but did not pay for the items in her purse, according to a pre-sentence report.

The store’s loss prevention employees stopped her after she left the store.

She had $110 worth of stolen products.

Brown has three other shoplifting arrests.

Brown told a probation officer that she stole the items, but said she was confused and grief stricken because her father was dying of cancer.

“She further conveyed she has experienced a tremendous amount of grief and strife and when in this state, she is prone to engage in the unconventional behavior as outlined in the instant offense,” probation wrote.

Brown said she is seeking counseling, going to church and wants to improve her life.

Longhorns take a good bounce by

Max Foster

special to the roundup

Payson High Longhorn baseball coach Brian Young’s suspicions that a March 9 clash in Safford could turn into a “trap game” proved unfounded.

The Horns pounded out a 6-3 win, but Young had good reason to believe the Horn players might not have been up for the game because they were fresh off a disheartening 2-1 loss to arch-rival Snowflake.

In the Snowflake showdown March 8 in Payson, the Longhorns took a 1-0 lead into the seventh inning, but couldn’t hold on.

For high school athletes, such gut-wrenching losses are doubly tough on the psyche. The emotional hangover can last for days, adversely affecting the outcome of games.

But the PHS players rose to the challenge of the Bulldogs, doing exactly what was needed — they moved on with a very short memory.

“I was worried we might come out a bit sluggish, but we didn’t,” said Young. “We put up four runs in the first inning and then tacked on a couple more as we went.”

In the win, Efrain Amaya got the starting pitching nod from Young and pitched into the fifth inning.

“He had good control with no walks,” Young said.

He did, however, scatter six hits, none of which produced any offense. Taryn Sarnowski relieved

for two innings and dominated by not allowing a hit.

“He did a nice job and got himself out of a tough jam,” Young recalls.

Because Sarnowski’s pitch count had reached levels the coach was concerned about, he was relieved

by Ryan Ricke in the bottom of the seventh with one out and two runners on base.

With the game weighing heavily on Ricke’s shoulders, he calmly delivered a first pitch that turned into a line-drive double play, closing out the game.

“Our pitchers had a very strong week and they are going to keep us in games,” said Young.

Offensively, the lineup was not purring along like a fine tuned V-8, as Young had hoped. However, Ruben Estrada, Nate McMullen and Hunter Paul were hitting on all cylinders.

Estrada was 3-for-4 with two runs scored and a double.

McMullen finished 2-for-4 with a run and a double.

Paul swatted two doubles in four plate appearances which drove in a pair of the Longhorns’ runs.

The Horns return to action at 4 p.m. today, Tuesday, Sept. 15, at Fountain Hills.

Juharos.

The veterans included Harold Kelley, a WWII Air Force Senior Master Sergeant who had the most interesting nickname — Smoke.

“The quote is, ‘Too green to burn and too wet behind the ears,’” said Juharos.

He said Kelley’s mates called him that because he was so young when he went into the service.

Floyd Broshar served in the Navy during WWII as a signalman. His destroyer followed the U.S.S. Roosevelt to pick up airmen who fell into the ocean.

“They couldn’t use any lights, so his flag signals were the only thing they used to communicate,” said Juharos. “He says he can still do Morse Code faster than anyone.”

Broshar stayed in the service for 12 years, rising to the rank of Seaman 3rd Class.

During the war, he lost a brother-in-law and five cousins.

James Kemp served in the Navy during WWII as a parachute rigger. Ironically, Juharos said he never served on a ship, but worked on many of the islands in the Pacific.

He left the service as a Seaman 1st Class.

Ejler Frandsen served in the Royal Danish Navy during WWII. At 95 years of age, Frandsen could not remember his rank, but he was pleased with the ceremony.

The other veterans included Ken Davidson who served in the Navy during WWII. He left the service as a Lieutenant.

Joe Ferraro served as a medic for the Army in Korea. He left the service as a Sergeant.

Cole said she kept talking to McVaugh and asked him to help her look for animals in the clouds.

Roughly 20 minutes later another neighbor drove by, spotted them and called for help.

McVaugh was airlifted to a Scottsdale hospital from The Home Depot parking lot.

McVaugh had bleeding on the brain and doctors had to remove part of his skull.

McVaugh was still in the intensive care

unit on Monday, reported Cole.

Cole said she had only a few bumps and bruises.

Although Cole has only lived across the street from McVaugh for six months, she said they are very close with him and his wife.

A neurosurgeon told McVaugh’s wife that if Cole had not applied pressure to his head he would have died.

ranges from meditative to toe-tapping, finger-snapping upbeat tunes.

The duo plays monthly at both Payson Care Center and Rim Country Health. At Payson Care Center, residents often join in by banging on drums as the musicians stroll the halls to entertain those who cannot make it to the main dining room for performances.

Bette also teaches Native American flute and started her first group class on March 1 for those with a desire to learn how to play a musical instrument.

He would not stop harassing ex-girlfriend From page 1A es, calling her a “liar” and “evil.” He then went to her home and pounded on her door, cursing and shouting, until fleeing the scene.

Anderson said Frocklage needs to be locked up to keep him away from his ex since his actions have illustrated he can’t leave her alone.

The Gila County Sheriff’s Office initially arrested Frocklage for aggravated harassment of his ex. On October 5, a judge put Frocklage on probation for two years.

Frocklage met with probation after the sentencing, but he left after he said he did not feel well.

Frocklage said after sentencing he met with the woman and they had lunch. Later, when she would not see him, he grew irate

and went to her home.

Frocklage kicked on the woman’s door and yelled profanities for 10 minutes until another man came out and he left.

GCSO deputies caught up with Frocklage at another home and arrested him, again.

Anderson said this was the third time in less than a year that Frocklage had harassed this woman.

She said it is likely Frocklage will harass the woman again once he is released and if he does, the GCAO is ready to prosecute him a fourth time.

Barry Standifird, Frocklage’s lawyer, said while Frocklage admits to breaking the law in this case, Frocklage never laid a finger on the woman. He said Frocklage was angry because he felt the woman had betrayed him with another man. He said Frocklage has complet-

ed anger management while in jail, attended Alcoholic Anonymous meetings and plans to move to Washington State once he is released to move on with his life.

Judge Gary Scales sentenced Frocklage to 2.5 years in prison for the cases involving his ex-girlfriend.

For a DUI arrest, which took place Jan. 14, 2015, Scales sentenced Frocklage to four years probation, 384 hours of community service and to have an ignition interlock device installed on his vehicle.

In that case, a DPS officer pulled Frocklage over on a traffic stop. He smelled alcohol coming from the vehicle and Frocklage said that was because of an open bottle of whiskey, which he showed the officer. Frocklage then failed a field sobriety test. Officers later found meth and marijuana in the vehicle.

Middle school musicians tear it up by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

A light show, solos, bells, award-winning choirs, guitars, and the debut of the new middle school jazz band — all just part of the Rim Country Middle School Spring Concert. “It’s a production,� said Mike Buskirk the advanced band director and guitar instructor.

The show started with Daria Mason, RCMS choir director and beginning band director, showcasing her concert and advanced choirs.

Both choirs received the highest honor, a superior, at the Flagstaff Choir Festival in February.

The concert choir led off with the Irish folk song, “Hi! Ho! The Rattlin’ Bog.�

The audience almost did a jig in the aisles.

Then they sang with sweet harmonies the old slave song, “The Rhythm of My Soul.�

It brought tears to the eyes as the students rose in crescendo and then faded into pianissimo.

Mason said that her choirs’ favorite thing is to sing together.

So they all trouped onto the stage to belt out “Hear the Wind.�

The advance choir remained on stage to sing three songs, “Changamano,� “Sing!

Shout!

Alleluia!� and “Let Me Fly.�

Buskirk then trooped out his rock

& 30 Other Cos. band made up of several guitarists to play five songs, followed by the return of the beginning band through several pieces, including music like the advanced band.

They performed brilliantly.

Prosperity depends on education system Impact of Education

From page 1A Cuts in education funding have created a crisis, she said.

Arizona consistently ranks last or nearly last in per-student funding, spending $7,205 compared to the national average of $10,700, according to 2015 Census data.

Moreover, the state has dramatically reduced support for both community colleges and universities. The state has eliminated all support for the community colleges in Pima and Maricopa counties. That was a $68 million hit for Maricopa Community Colleges alone, the largest community college system in the country.

Moreover, lawmakers have cut per-pupil state support for the state’s three universities by 51 percent since 2008. That includes a $99 million cut this year, despite a state surplus of more than $1.5 billion. The universities responded by slashing costs and programs and doubling tuition.

In the same period, students have struggled — especially children from low-income and minority families.

About two-thirds of Payson students qualify for free and reduced lunches based on family income, which means the poverty rate among families in Payson is substantially higher than the state average.

Just 11 percent of the state’s high schools — mostly in wealthy suburbs — account for half of the students who go on to college.

A shocking 225 of Arizona’s 448 public high schools sent fewer than 10 students to any postsecondary college or university in 2015, according to statistics kept by the Arizona Board of Regents.

Payson High School has a below-average college attendance rate. In 2013-14, out of 134 graduating seniors — 33 enrolled in a two-year community college and 14 in a four year-university. That totaled 38 percent of the graduates, compared to 50 percent statewide, according to Board of Regents’ figures.

Worse yet, many of those students won’t actually get a degree.

The six-year completion rate for the Payson High School class of 2007-08 totaled just 15 percent — compared to a state average of 26 percent.

The failure to give students the skills and support they need to complete college will prove costly to Arizona, Casuga said.

Many of the increasingly bleak statistics in Arizona can be linked to education rates, she said.

About 27 percent of Arizona residents have a bachelor’s degree or better compared to 30 percent nationally. The percentage looks much worse among Latino residents, with Hispanics now accounting for 43 percent of the state’s school-age children.

Only 12 percent of the state’s Latino residents have a bachelor’s degree.

However, national studies suggest that by 2020, 35 percent of the state’s job openings

age. That number has dwindled, although it spiked again to 90 percent in 2005, before the recession and the deep cuts in education. In 2014, it had dropped to 82 percent of the national average.

The number of people living in poverty also rose, hitting 18 percent of the total population and 26 percent of children in 2014, according to Census figures. That compares to a national average of 16 percent over all and 22 percent for children.

Economic output per person in Arizona stands at $43,000 per person, compared to $54,000 nationally. Arizona’s per capita income of $39,000 compares to a national average of $46,000.

Many studies show that education works a host of positive changes — including citizen participation.

Arizona ranks 45th in the percentage of people who vote in presidential elections, 46th in contacting public officials, 39th in volunteering, 51st in attending public meetings, 47th in belonging to organizations, according to a report compiled by Arizona Forward. Only 12 percent of Arizona residents said they believe people in their community care about each other.

Studies show people with a college degree get far more involved in their communities.

The Star Valley Town Council should hear the fate of its photo enforcement system at its 6 p.m., Tuesday, March 15 meeting.

A number of bills on the issue were considered by the Legislature over the past few months and Star Valley town manager Tim Grier has been following them all closely, even going so far as to offer testimony on the benefits.

Grier will report on the bills and the impact they could have on the town’s budget. If the town loses the nearly $400,000 generated by the system, it will have to find other resources with which to pay for the law enforcement services it receives from the Gila County Sheriff’s Office. All the photo enforcement receipts go toward the contract with the GCSO. Additionally, the Star Valley council will discuss amending its policy for requiring and issuing a business license and hear a report from Grier on maintenance of the town’s streets.

Reports from the Hellsgate Fire District and Gila County Sheriff’s Office for activity during February are also on the agenda.

They’re roughly twice as likely to vote, volunteer, attend public meetings, work with neighbors to fix problems and give to charity as people with only a high school diploma.

Moreover, Census Bureau figures show that people with college degrees make roughly twice as much money and have a much lower unemployment rate than people with only a high school education.

People with a bachelor’s degree earn an average of $1,101 weekly, compared to $668 for someone with only a high school diploma and $488 for high school dropouts, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The unemployment rate for college-educated workers in April of 2015 stood at 2.7 percent, compared to 8.6 percent for people without a high school degree. The unemployment rate for the college educated peaked in 2009 at 5.4 percent, when the unemployment rate for people without a high school degree soared to 16 percent, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research.

The missing puzzle piece Photos courtesy Greg McKelvey

Meteor Crater reveals the detective story behind the science by

Scientists didn’t know what to make of Meteor Crater when they first investigated. They thought it came from a volcano, a giant sinkhole or a titanic steam explosion — mostly because they couldn’t find the remains of a meteorite large enough to have made such a hole. The effort to solve the mystery of Meteor Crater shows how science really works.

Greg McKelvey

registered professional geologist and amateur photographer

Barringer Crater, better known as Meteor Crater, rises from the flat surrounding desert, offering stunning evidence of an ancient cataclysm — and the gaping maw of a geological mystery.

Screaming through the Earth’s atmosphere at 28,000 miles an hour just 50,000 years ago, this 150-foot-long, iron-nickel chunk from space exploded on impact.

Hitting at a 60-degree angle, the meteor left a crater 4,000 feet across and 700 feet deep.

The hole still sits there.

But here’s the mystery: Where’s the meteor?

People have found only a few chunks and one man made the search an obsession.

Daniel Barringer spent 27 years drilling shafts up to 1,300 feet deep, seeking a billion-dollar blob of melted meteor he believed worth $1 billion in 1903 dollars. The fragments of meteor found on the surface suggested a meteor composed of about 7 percent nickel and iron with traces of other metals and diamonds.

But he found no trace of the missing meteor in the bottom of the massive impact crater some 570 feet deep.

The long, baffling effort to unravel the mystery tells you a lot about how science works — and deepens the fascination of a visit to the site.

It also rests on the bedrock of my own memories of my father, daring astronauts and one of the most persistent and imaginative geologists I have ever known.

We now know that Barringer Crater is among the best-preserved impact craters in the world. This hole was created by a hunk of rock moving so fast the impact shock pulverized, shattered, and then transformed the 200-300-million-year-old sea bottom layers of limestone and sandstone it shattered.

Barringer, originally named Canyon Diablo and now known as Meteor Crater, is the first proven impact crater, thanks to USGS geologist Gene Shoemaker and others.

Meteor Crater proved the key to recognizing and analyzing hundreds of other less obvious impact craters — as well as serving as a training ground for Apollo astronauts and even for testing generations of new space suits. And don’t forget the Hollywood movies, like “Starman” with Jeff Bridges.

But when scientists first encountered the 3,900-foot-wide hole in the ground, they didn’t know what to make of it.

Was it a giant sinkhole?

A volcanic caldera?

Something else altogether?

Initially, geologists assumed it had been created by some titanic explosion of superheated steam connected to the volcanic fields around Flagstaff, just 40 miles east.

However, studies failed to reveal any of the volcanic rocks

Clues to the mystery Geologists mapped the different layers of sediment in and around the crater, finding evidence of the massive impact. The diagram above shows the fill and debris that fell back into the crater after the impact (colored red).

The photos on the left and below show the telltale layer of white, sedimentary rock that was blasted by the impact, folding back on itself like a pancake — with the layer of red sedimentary rock sandwiched in between.

that would have offered an explanation, speculation increasingly turned to a giant rock from space.

Albert E. Foote in 1891 first suggested a meteor created the massive crater after analyzing some 600 pounds of meteorite fragments found in the area.

Other geologist argued that the lack of fragments proved a volcanic steam explosion must have created the feature.

Nonetheless, Daniel Barringer bet all the money he could raise and 27 years of his life on the meteor theory. He filed a claim and formed a company in 1903, hoping to find treasure in the bottom of that enigmatic crater. He set up his drill rig, determined to find the lost blob of the presumably buried meteor.

But he found neither volcanic layers nor the missing blob.

There the mystery sat for decades.

Enter USGS geologist Eugene Shoemaker, whose patient persistence ultimately solved the mystery of Meteor Crater in the 1960s.

I have fond memories of my father, a colleague of

Sodium and Potassium Levels Compared

Don’t be one of the things that go bump in the night by

Teresa McQuerrey

roundup staff reporter

Falls among older adults are such a serious health problem the Centers for Disease Control has weighed in on the issue.

Michael L. Ward, R.N., C.E.P., trauma coordinator and pre-hospital manager for Banner Payson Medical Center, presented a program on falls at the March 9 Lunch & Learn at the Banner High Country Seniors.

He presented the following statistics from the CDC: • One out of three older adults (those 65 or older) falls each year, but less than half talk to their health care providers about it.

• Among older adults, falls are the leading cause of both fatal and nonfatal injuries.

• In 2013, 2.5 million nonfatal falls among older adults were treated in emergency departments and more than 734,000 of these patients were hospitalized • In 2013, the direct medical costs of falls, adjusted for inflation, were $34 million Ward said 20 to 30 percent of people who fall suffer moderate to severe injuries such as lacerations, hip fractures and head traumas. In fact, falls are the most common cause of traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and about half of fatal falls among older adults are due to

TBI. Seniors that are exceptionally prone for a TBI, according to Ward, have hit their head, have a laceration and/or hematoma and is currently taking an anti-clotting medication, such as aspirin, Plavix, Reopro, Warfarin, Pradaxa, Eliquis, Heparin or dipyridamole.

He said if an older adult comes into the emergency department and the staff knows (from the emergency medical technicians or paramedics that have responded to the call about the fall) they have hit their head and are on anti-clotting medication special measures are taken as quickly as possible.

“The trauma team meets you at the door and starts working on you,” Ward said — and that involves several specialists, sometimes so many it is hard to believe that many people can be in one of the ED bays at once.

People age 75 and older who fall are four to five times more likely than those 65 to 74 to be admitted to a long-term care facility for a year or longer.

Rates of fall-related fractures among older women are more than twice those for men.

More than 95 percent of hip fractures are caused by falls. Each year, there are more than 258,000 hip fractures (nationally) and the rate for women is almost twice the rate for men.

He said the local ED sees, on average, 20 to 24 of these trauma team activations every month. In 2014, the hospital ED had 898 fall cases, of those 565 were 60 or older. The most, 62, came in August; the least, 31, came in January. There were 835 falls seen in the ED in 2015, with 468 of those patients 60 or older. The most, 67, were seen in January; the least, 10, were seen in December.

Falls in the home most often occur in the bathroom, from ladders and step stools, slipping or tripping on a throw rug, becoming entangled with a pet and down stairs. The falls that happen in the community most often take place shopping and in parking lots.

Ward said falls occur because of poor vision, poor lighting, medications, lack of exercise and noncompliance (with medication, physical therapy, etc.). While falls are frequent among older adults, there are ways to reduce fall risk: • Manage chronic illnesses or conditions • Get and eye exam regularly • Stay hydrated • Talk to physicians and pharmacists about medications • Stay active and exercise regularly • Find alternatives for potentially risky behaviors • Identify and eliminate fall hazards in the home

Meteor mystery From page 1B Shoemaker, working on the Nevada Test Site as they tried to better understand the effects of the atomic explosions. As an unpaid tag-along field assistant, I trundled along with Dad and a few of this USGS buddies to meet Gene at the Barringer Crater. At that point, he was nearly ready to publish his findings. The group traipsed around the area, listening and questioning the evidence.

Shoemaker’s argument hung on his discovery of certain forms of quartz (coesite and stishovite), created only by very high temperatures and pressures. In fact, until Shoemaker found this rare quartz in the impact crater, it had been created only in minute quantities in the laboratory and in nuclear explosions. No known volcano could create such terrific heat and pressure.

The presence of the altered quartz allowed Shoemaker to calculate the temperatures and pressures generated by this meteor strike. After that, the rest of the puzzle pieces fit nicely. While there are still some empty spaces on the puzzle board, that field trip and subsequent visits personally showed me how science works in the detective world of geology.

Later, I remember visiting Arizona again while the lunar astronauts were training at the crater. Instead of the moon-suited aliens I expected, I found a bunch of young studs in blue jeans and cowboy hats climbing the steep trail and asking deep questions.

When I think of the pictures from the moon, my image is of these skilled pilots perhaps 15 years older than me in plaid shirts, boasting big belt buckles and looking uncomfortable clutching colored pencils, notebook, hand lenses and geology hammers.

The impact actually shaped the landscape far beyond the boundaries of the crater. The material blown out extends for 10 miles in every direction, although it thins out with the distance from the crater. The 10-megaton impact blasted millions of tons of sandstone and limestone out of the crater. This pulverized rock fell on the plain around the crater, along with fragments of the originally named Canyon Diablo meteorite. The tremendous heat and pressure transformed the pulverized rock, creating shock-melt-

Sometimes the most important thing to notice – is what’s missing.

Fast/Facts about Meteor Crater • Fractures made the crater more square than round • The layer of crushed rock that fell back into the hole is almost as deep as the crater itself.

• The crater has repeatedly filled up with a lake in the past 50,000 years as the planet warmed and cooled.

• The layers of rock blasted by the meteor folded back on themselves on the crater rim, like folding back a pancake stack. ed sandstone and limestone. It also scattered metallic spherules, which are dispersed droplets of melted meteorite. This redeposited material is the crater’s ejecta blanket.

The impact blast likely had a serious impact on the living things over a huge area, according to Dr. David Kring. All life forms would have been instantaneously vaporized within a few miles of the blast. Seven miles out, almost every living thing would have suffered serious burns. However, the crash probably didn’t affect the weather or atmosphere. By contrast, the asteroid thought to have wiped out the dinosaurs was 6 to 9 miles in diameter and triggered climate changes that wiped out 75 percent of all living species.

Mercifully, the Canyon Diablo meteorite was far smaller. Within a century, geologists believe that the flora and fauna would have recovered in a cooler climate that nourished grasslands and woodlands. And all without the help of any government!

Photographers visiting meteor crater, should take the guided walk along the west side of the crater rim and visit the viewing stations at the visitor center.

Unfortunately, getting the whole crater may require stitched-together images from a wide-angle lens. Even so, it is difficult to find anything in the image that shows scale!

Try also to find where the red rocks are overturned. Look for places you can find white rocks both below and above the red

The blast from the impact of the asteroid that created Meteor Crater 50,000 years ago probably set everything on fire out to a radius of about seven miles and scattered a layer of debris for at least 10 miles.

beds. Look closely at the rocks and perhaps photograph the textures. The Tear Pants textures on the limestones are unique and show that over the last 50,000 years chemical weathering has altered these sediments. The pebbles on the ground, even around the parking lot, offer traces of melted meteor — clinker-like

materials and small marbles similar to those found at other documented impact craters.

Also, explore the area to photograph or see where the material that flew out of the crater ends.

In the meantime, the massive hole in the ground offers a hidden message when it comes to science — or to life.

Only a few chunks of the 150-foot-diamater nickel-iron meteorite remain, posing a puzzle for geologists (far left). Geologist Eugene Shoemaker and others found the shocked quartz rock that not only proved a meteorite created the crater, but that the impact vaporized most of the asteroid — leaving only fragments behind.

At left, the blasted and shattered layers of limestone the asteroid hit have weathered in unusual ways.
