Payson’s ready to build the pipeline from the C.C. Cragin Reservoir (formerly Blue Ridge).

This week, the town closed on the first $11 million installment of a loan of up to $34 million to complete the pipeline.

give the town enough water for a build-out population of at least 36,000, but it will allow Payson to essentially refill its depleted underground water table.

That makes Payson one of the only towns in Arizona with more than enough water for all its projected future needs.

“Blue Ridge is the most productive local watershed in Arizona — and it sure looks like it from how quickly it recovered (from being emptied this fall). That was awesome,”

said Payson Water Superintendent Buzz Walker, who also serves as the manager of the C.C. Cragin pipeline project.

He noted that he regularly attends water association meetings where almost every other city in the state is grappling with projected water shortages. “These guys have a notion like we did 40 years ago, but they have no plan, they have no way to pay for it.

The $32 billion business in selling human beings for sex — including children — has even oozed into Rim Country, the Mount Cross Lutheran Church Friendship group learned this week.

Human trafficking has now surpassed the illegal drug market and is second only to arms dealing.

“We’re not talking about anybody but our kids,” said Jane Baker, a diaconal minister for the Ascension Lutheran Church in Paradise Valley. “These are not foreign kids — these are children under the age of 18.”

The Mount Cross Lutheran Church hosted Baker, a former nurse, and now minister of the church, to speak about the child sex trafficking trade.

Baker has been elected to the Lutheran senate to speak out about the sex trafficking trade in the hopes of ending the practice that enslaves children.

Teens miraculously unhurt after vehicle plunges 90 feet by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

Three Flagstaff teens survived a 90-foot rollover into Fossil Creek Canyon Wednesday night.

One girl was “miraculously” uninjured after being trapped under the vehicle for hours, rescuers said.

The girls — two age 16, and one 17 — were heading out of the canyon at 5 p.m. on the dirt road to Camp Verde when the 16-year-old driver took a curve too fast and lost control of the SUV. The vehicle rolled and plunged 90 feet into a steep, rocky canyon past the Irving Power Plant.

The driver was thrown from the vehicle while the two passengers reportedly stayed inside while the vehicle rolled. They managed to crawl out from under the mangled mess and walk up the steep embankment to the road, said Gary Morris, Pine-Strawberry Fire chief.

The vehicle landed on its roof directly on top of the driver. Remarkably, she found herself in a crevice under the SUV after it rolled over a large

boulder, Morris said.

“It was unbelievable,” said Gary Hall, vice-commander of Tonto Rim Search and Rescue. “It was a miracle that girl survived anything.”

The girl was face-down under the vehicle and rescuers could only see one of her hands and a foot.

TRSAR volunteers set up a tripod in front of the vehicle to stabilize it while the fire department used inflation bags to lift the back of the SUV. It took roughly four hours to get the vehicle lifted high enough for the girl to scoot out. When she did, she stood right up and had only scratches, Hall said.

“It was just unbelievable,” he said repeatedly.

“She ought to count her lucky stars.”

Rescuers found the roof rack from the vehicle some 50 feet away from the SUV. One girl was taken to a Verde Valley hospital while the other two were flown to a Flagstaff hospital. The driver suffered only minor injuries and all were later released from the hospitals.

Contract forces Payson to pay town manager six months severance by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

The highest paid town official in Payson will get six months of salary as a severance benefit, which her contract requires even if she quits on her own or the council wants her to leave.

Town Manager Debra Galbraith will leave sometime before September, Payson Mayor Kenny Evans told the Roundup.

But a sweetheart contract approved by the town council in 2008 ensures she gets a $64,400 severance when she goes, half of EASTER WEEKEND

Sunny throughout the weekend with highs right around 70 and overnight lows near 40. Details, 7A

volume 26, no. 27

her current salary.

No other town employee has such a deal and the current council would not have agreed to such terms, Evans said.

Galbraith’s contract requires her to give 60 days written notice of her resignation, which she has not done, Evans said. But Galbraith is reportedly working with staff to come up with a timeline for her departure and ways to mitigate the impact of her contracted severance payout on the town’s budget.

The town is currently working on next year’s budget, which goes into effect in July.

“She has reached a point where she wants to retire,” he said.

Evans said the council is working on modifying the contract so Galbraith does not have to pay taxes on a lump sum and the town doesn’t have to come up with the money all at once.

Galbraith is also working to reach the next level in the state retirement system, which has

delayed her departure, Evans said.

When Galbraith leaves, the town wants to avoid paying her severance on top of the salary for a new town manager. Galbraith is training town staff to cover her duties until a new manager is hired, he said.

The council has not set a date for her departure, but Evans said it will likely come in late September.

Galbraith has served as town manager since 2008, after her promotion from the finance manager job.

Throughout her tenure, Galbraith has drawn criticism, from both public and staff. She rarely speaks at council meetings, communicates only intermittently with the public and the media and has been at the heart of a series of personnel difficulties — many of them exacerbated by the severe budget stress the town has labored under throughout her tenure.

While some have criticized her, Evans said Galbraith made the tough decisions when the recession hit several years ago, cutting the budget 53 percent.

“She marshaled town resources and ushered us through the most difficult economic times since the town was formed,” he said. “When people look back at

her contributions, they will see that while it was tough getting through the depression, she made it easier because she tackled the issue early and aggressively.”

Southbound State Route 87 was backed up for hours Thursday morning near Sunflower after a semi truck rolled. The truck’s load of cardboard was strewn across the highway after it tipped onto its side at 7:30 a.m. at milepost 213, two miles south of Sunflower, according to the Department of Public Safety. The driver was taken to a hospital for treatment.

Gov. Doug Ducey this week vetoed Rep. Brenda Barton’s (R-Payson) bill setting different standards of animal cruelty for pets and farm animals.

The action represented Ducey’s first veto and indicated he may play a similar role to former Gov. Jan Brewer, who proved willing to kill bills sponsored by fellow Republicans and adopted by both houses.

Ducey’s veto message said, “I know we all agree that animal cruelty is inexcusable, unacceptable and absolutely will not be tolerated in the state of Arizona. No animal should be the victim of abuse. Moreover, perpetrators must be held to account and properly penalized to the fullest extent of the law.

“While the sponsors and supporters of this bill are well-intentioned, when changing state laws relating to the safety and well-being of animals, we must ensure that all animals are protected, and mindful that increasing protections for one class of animals does not inadvertently undercut protections for another.”

The bill would have set separate standards for livestock and poultry, while creating new animal cruelty standards for people who hoard animals.

Testifying on the bill, Barton said that since the overwhelming majority of cruelty complaints involve dogs and cats, the bill “allows livestock to move out of the way so that law enforcement and appropriate agencies can deal with the animal abuse,” she said

Ducey photo by Gage Skidmore / Barton photo via Arizona State Legislature member page

Gov. Doug Ducey (left) vetoed Rep. Brenda Barton’s bill setting separate animal cruelty standards for pets and livestock. according to a story published in The Arizona Republic.

The bill would have banned counties from instituting tougher laws to protect livestock — including a Phoenix law that would prevent people from slaughtering livestock at home.

Animal rights advocates criticized the bill, saying it could lead to the repeal of existing laws protecting livestock.

Last year, a similar bill died in committee.

This year, Barton steered away from some of the provisions that would have prevented local law enforcement from even investigating allegations of animal cruelty in farms and other food production facilities, hoping to sidestep the resistance those provisions last year evoked from Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

She left out provisions that would have reduced penalties for farmers convicted of

animal cruelty from a felony to a misdemeanor and would have made the department of agriculture, not local law enforcement, responsible for enforcing anti-cruelty laws in farming and commercial operations.

Generally farm groups supported the bill, saying it simplifies the law for farm operations, which wouldn’t abuse animals anyway since they’re an important investment.

The Arizona Cattle Growers Association and the Arizona Farm Bureau both supported the bills.

The bill comes in the wake of a series of sensational videos secretly filmed in slaughterhouses and other operations showing harsh treatment of animals. Last year the bill would have required immediate reporting of cruelty, which would have made many of the secret camera exposés by animal rights groups almost impossible.

Payson obtains $11 million WIFA loan From page 1A Maybe they have a potential water source 40 miles away, but they have no way to get the water.”

The Water Infrastructure Finance Authority of Arizona this week announced approval of Payson’s $34 million loan application at a bargain basement rate of 2.7 percent for a 30-year term, three times as long as most of the state-funded loan agency’s loan packages.

“By implementing this project, the Town of Payson can acquire the additional water supplies needed to meet current and future demand, while preventing further decline to groundwater levels already exacerbated by prolonged drought,” said WIFA Board Chairman Henry Darwin, who is also director of the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality.

The state agency provides low cost loans for flood control and water projects and has provided $2 billion in loans over the past 25 years.

Payson will this month or next draw on the first, $11 million installment of the WIFA loan, which includes $1 million it won’t have to pay back. The amount of the loan WIFA will “forgive” for each installment depends

The photo above by Pete Aleshire shows the C.C. Cragin dam as the reservoir emptied late in the summer. The Town of Payson map at the left shows the 12.5-mile route of the 18-inch pipeline from Washington Park to Payson. The town has obtained a $34 million state loan to build the pipeline, which will require a hike in water rates. on things like water rates and Payson’s ability to repay the loan.

The town is seeking bids for the first year’s worth of projects, which includes finishing various in-town connections, modifying 28 wells so they can inject extra water back into the underground water table and installing the first 4.5 miles of 18-inch pipe from Washington Park down along Houston Mesa Road.

The town will then take another $10 million to $11 million in each of the next three years to finish the pipeline by 2018. The pipeline will then carry 3,000 acre-feet of water per year — more than doubling the town’s long-term, sustainable water supply.

To qualify for the loan, Payson agreed to increase its water rates each year through 2018, to about 50 percent higher than they are now.

However, the town could lower the rate increases if it gets more money from water impact fees or a possible federal water settlement with the Tonto Apache Tribe.

If no extra money comes through, the base rate will go from $28 to $43 and the additional charge for 5,000 gallons will go from $40 for to $61.

The state will “forgive” $1 million of the first $11 million borrowed, which amounts to a grant to build the pipeline. The state could forgive similar amounts in the next two installments, although that will depend on a variety of factors, said Walker.

The town has already spent about $15 million on the project, with an estimated $34 million worth of work still to do.

Earlier, the town received a $11 million federal stimulus loan for the pipeline, including $4 million it does not have to repay.

Payson delayed taking out the loan from the state in hopes it could get a better deal from the federal government. However, the state program extended the terms of the loan, offered a low rate and agreed to forgive at least a portion of the loan. Moreover, the promised overhaul of the federal loan program for water projects got stuck in budget politics.

The three-year schedule for construction of the pipeline will ensure the town secures its right to 3,000 acre-feet annually from the C.C. Cragin Reservoir. The legislation granting the water right requires Payson to put

the water to “beneficial use” or face loss of the right won after decades of struggle.

“There are a lot of dynamics behind it,” said Walker, who has worked on the project for decades. “Once you have the water right, it’s not official until you start putting the water to beneficial use. So you don’t want to wait too long — because of emerging environmental regulations. The real driver was get the thing done while we know we can get the money and the construction permit from the Forest Service is valid.”

The town currently uses 1,700 acre-feet of water annually from its network of deep wells. Water conservation measures enabled the town to stabilize its once rapidly-dropping water table. Payson agreed to drill no more wells and rely on the C.C. Cragin water for its future growth as part of its agreement with the Salt River Project.

The gush of water from C.C. Cragin starting in 2018 will allow the town to rest its groundwater wells for nine months a year, while still putting about 1,100 acre-feet from C.C. Cragin back into the water table annually. This should effectively refill the underground water table, which had dropped 100 feet or more in many places.

Walker said the combination the natural recharge and the Cragin water will sustain a build-out population of some 36,000, with reserves even for years of drought.

The C.C. Cragin Reservoir proved its value this year. Salt River Project had essentially emptied the reservoir in the fall to do maintenance work. But even less than normal winter precipitation filled the reservoir to the brim by February.

The town will build a 12.5-mile-long, 18-inch-diameter pipeline from Washington Park to a $9 million water treatment facility on about five acres of land purchased from the Forest Service adjacent to Mesa del Caballo. The plan will include a hydroelectric generator, a diversion pipe to deliver untreated water to the two golf courses and the university site, and facilities to both filter the water and add minerals so it won’t cause problems when it enters the calcium-encrusted pipes of the town’s existing system.

Walker said eight contractors have already signaled an interest in doing the in-town work, which the town hopes to start in May.

Payson secures the pipeline and its future

• April 2, 1863: Responding to acute food shortages, hundreds of women riot in Richmond, Va., breaking windows and looting stores, before Confederate President Jefferson Davis threw his pocket change at them from the top of a wagon.

Davis ordered the crowd to disperse or he would order the militia to fire on them.

• April 3, 1882: One of America’s most famous criminals, Jesse James, is shot to death by fellow gang member Bob Ford.

Detective magazines had glamorized the James gang, turning them into Robin Hoods. In reality, Jesse James was a ruthless killer who stole only for himself.

• April 4, 1968: Martin Luther King Jr. is shot to death at a hotel in Memphis, Tenn. A single shot fired by James Earl Ray from more than 200 feet away struck King in the neck.

• April 5, 1976: Howard Hughes, one of the richest men to emerge from the American West, dies while flying from Acapulco to Houston for medical treatment. Hughes’ bizarre behavior grew worse in his final years, as he became obsessed with privacy and sometimes worked for days at a stretch in a black-curtained room without sleeping.

Payson made history this week, finally locking in a $34 million loan from the Water Infrastructure Authority of Arizona (WIFA).

The town had to promise the raise its water rates each year for the next three years to demonstrate it had the revenue stream needed to secure the loan.

Now, no one likes the prospect of paying 50 percent more for water.

But it’s likely to prove the best deal Payson ever made — and testament to the visionary leadership of a succession of town leaders.

The 3,000-acre-foot annual allotment the town gets from the Blue Ridge Reservoir will secure its future.

That supply of water makes it possible to dream big — including bringing to town a university, resort hotels, renewed residential housing and the expanded base of businesses necessary to generate the sales taxes that will support public services.

Payson remains almost unique in the state to have secured a water supply sufficient not only for its present needs — but for its biggest dreams and a build-out population of at least 36,000.

Elsewhere, the steady rise in average annual temperatures and the inexorable dynamics of growth will cause decades of struggle to secure an adequate water supply. Projections call for a serious statewide shortage.

Signs of drought and water rationing on the Colorado River will likely push the shortage from bad to worse.

But when other rural areas run dry and the politically potent cities in the Valley cast about for an expanded supply, Payson will have its water right secured.

We believe that will guarantee our future, thanks to 30 years of struggle to obtain that water right.

We’re indebted to both WIFA at the state level and to the federal government, which provided a $4 million grant and a $6 million low-cost loan to help get us to this point. The WIFA loan has a super low interest rate of 2.7 percent and a 30-year term — with $1 million of the loan amount forgiven. The project represents an adroit use of low-cost government financing, since it will help provide the infrastructure that will enable this region to prosper — thereby generating far more in sales, income and property tax revenues than the state and federal governments invest in the project.

But we have to do our part too, in the form of higher water rates.

Now, with luck, the Tonto Apache Tribe will strike a deal with the federal government to settle long-standing water claims. The tribe suffered years of exile, discrimination and dispossession — the settlement is long overdue. The settlement could give the tribe a secure water right, in return for a federally funded pipeline buy-in that could significantly reduce the need for a water rate increase.

In addition, a resumption of growth could generate millions more in impact fees. That would also help to offset the need for the full rate increase. Early estimates put the water impact fees for the university campus alone at some $7 million, although the backers of the project could spread out the impact fees over the next several years, to make it easier to set the tuition at a low enough rate for phase one of the college to ensure ample enrollment.

So it’s possible the town could end up raising about half of the loan amount in the next few years, significantly reducing the full water rate increase.

But it doesn’t matter. Paying 50 percent more to double or triple our sustainable water supply would be a bargain. It will make possible the sustained and responsible growth of this community that will not only yield the stable, year-round economy we need, but the sales tax revenues to the town to provide police, fire and other services to those same water users.

So mark this date: It’s a turning point.

Come 2018, Payson will have a permanent, sustainable water supply, a university campus and a grip on its future that few other towns in this state can claim.

Tax materials were ordered, IRS did not send all Editor: I see that there is a Letter to the Editor from a member of the public about the library’s lack of tax booklets.

I wanted to let the paper know — lest everyone drive around in circles — that to the best of my knowledge there is not a place in town to pick up booklets.

The post office does not have them, I have been told by several patrons who drove down to the IRS office in Mesa that there were no tax booklets there either.

As far as the library goes, we certainly did order booklets and IRS tax schedules. We have the order confirmations here. We do have the 1040, 1040A and 1040 EZ forms here, but there are no instructional booklets or schedule forms.

This requested paperwork has simply not arrived, and at this point, I do not believe that it will. It may be that the IRS prefers not to print booklets any longer or that they had difficulty with the printing. I do not know. It has been a source of frustration for many of our seniors.

We do have binders with reproducible forms and instructions for both the IRS and the State of Arizona, but as the letter stated, there is a copy fee of 20 cents per page. Most forms and instructions are also available online.

The kindness of nurses

Cut-A-Thon appreciated

Editor: I want to say a public thank you to the nurses at Payson Regional Medical Center. Recently my husband had to be hospitalized two times.

He received such wonderful and caring service, at the outpatient area and then again when he underwent a more extensive surgery.

He said they were so attentive and he was cared for with respect and compassion — especially during his three-day stay.

Lastly and most important to Dr. Munoz and his staff. What a great and caring doctor he is, he and his staff are to be commended for their excellent service.

We also want to give the MHA Healthcare Scholarships a plug. One of the nurses who attended my husband was an old neighbor (she and our granddaughter were in middle school together). She went on to receive a scholarship and is employed by the hospital.

We are proud to be a part of this community who cares for one another and goes the extra mile.

Sen. Allen’s ‘off the cuff’ church comment Editor: Arizona Senator Debbie Lesko recently wrote a letter to the Arizona Republic defending Rim Country Senator Sylvia Allen. Lesko’s defense was that Allen was simply musing and had made an “off the cuff” remark about having a requirement that everyone must attend church. Lesko’s support should not surprise anyone since she has long been chair for the organization known as ALEC, which has continued to control many state legislatures with “scholarships” (Rep. Bob Thorpe (R-Flagstaff) received such a scholarship), trips, campaign funding, as well as providing completely developed bills to be submitted to the state legislatures. Since ALEC and Cathi Harrod pretty much do all the work of supplying legislation for our state, we could cut the budget and save some money by letting all of the legislative researchers go.

If Senator Allen is so very concerned about the moral values of our state, she should back away from the immoral legislation which would allow guns in public places.

Turn down the heat Editor: Today was a lovely day for a walk around Green Valley Park in Payson.

When I went into the ladies room, across the street from the playground, I was shot with heat waves; the room was so hot it was unbearable. I thought to myself, all they have is cold water in the sinks with no way to remove germs; yet the heat is blasting in 76-degree weather; why not place some soap or antibacterial dispensers in these restrooms; that would certainly cost less than wasted heat/energy.

This is a public park, therefore, it should serve the public; keep us healthy and maintain the temperature so taxpayers are not wasting their good earned money!

Senate kills gun bill House had already passed law allowing guns in public buildings by

Pete Aleshire

roundup editor

Rep. Brenda Barton’s (R-Pay­ son) bill allowing people with conceal weapons permits to bring their guns into most public buildings died on a 15-16 vote on the floor of the state Senate this week.

Three Republicans joined all the Democrats to defeat the bill, which would have required towns and counties to not only post signs barring guns but also provide metal detectors with guards and gun lockers to enforce the ban if the person with the gun has a state-approved concealed weapons permit.

Barton argued that such armed, law abiding citizens could defend themselves and others if a person without a permit ignored the signs and brought a gun into the building and started shooting.

Sen. Sylvia Allen also strongly supported the bill, saying the problem lies not with guns in public buildings but the morality of the people who would use those

guns to harm other people. She “flippantly” suggested that the state would do more good by passing a law requiring people to go to church than by allowing local governments to ban guns from public buildings.

Supporters of Barton’s bill said the current law allowing cities and towns to post signs provides no real protection, since the “bad guys” will ignore the signs and bring their guns into the building.

The League of Arizona Cities and Towns strongly opposed the measure, saying it would cost cities $300,000 per door to keep guns out of sensitive locations like the city council chambers.

Payson has had several incidents in which police have prevented people with concealed carry permits from bringing guns into town buildings. That includes incidents involving Mike Voden, now awaiting trial for shooting and killing his neighbor in a dispute about the neighbor’s dog.

Voden simulated having a gun and pointing it at a council member during one council meeting. That incident prompted the Payson police to require him to turn in the gun he habitually carried whenever he entered town buildings.

Voden trial delayed again by

LDS makes ‘lock down’ buckets for PHS Building “lock down” buckets for Payson High School — a service project — was one of the important activities of a special gathering of women and girls ages 8 an older who are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

More than 75 girls and women came into the church Saturday, March 29, their arms loaded, with items such as tissue, rubber gloves, bottles of water, hand sanitizer, flashlights and batteries, whistles, scissors, cups, and other items deemed necessary for a class-

room in a lock down situation. Safeway donated 22 cases of bottled water and Home Depot contributed 48 of the needed 65 buckets.

This activity produced 65 lock down buckets for the high school.

Nancy Gartner, president of the Payson Area Stake Relief Society, which sponsored the event, said, “We had a large turnout of enthusiastic women and girls who eagerly assembled the lock down buckets. They demonstrated service in action.”

The women and young girls also were

enriched spiritually by viewing a special Women’s Conference broadcast from Salt Lake City in which leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints discussed the importance of women’s roles in the home and family and in serving others.

The Saturday event also featured a book and media exchange and a delicious dinner served at tables that were decorated by young female church members who used their creativity in designing a service-oriented centerpiece.

The second-degree murder trial for a Payson man accused of killing his neighbor has been delayed again.

Michael Allen Voden was set to stand trial Tuesday, March 31 in Globe, but his lawyer Michael Bernays asked for more time to prepare and interview the state’s witnesses and review the state’s disclosure.

Judge Gary Scales reset the trial to Wednesday, May 20 in Globe.

Voden is accused of shooting his neighbor Randall Burnett multiple times outside his home on East Rancho Road after Burnett entered the property to get his dog out of Voden’s yard.

Voden has been under house arrest since December 2013

Mike Voden

awaiting trial. The trial was initially scheduled to start Jan. 21.

Scales recently granted Bernay’s request to let Voden attend a funeral.

Randy’s widow Brenda Jo Burnett filed a wrongful death suit against Voden and his wife Patricia Rollins. A hearing in the civil case was held Feb. 20 and it remains ongoing.

Barton, Thorpe spearhead drive to seize federal lands Several bills now likely to head to governor’s desk by

Pete Aleshire

roundup editor

An effort spearheaded by Rim Country’s state legislative representatives to seize control of federal lands this week passed the Senate on a 17-12 vote.

Rep. Brenda Barton (R-Payson) and Rep. Bob Thorpe (R-Flagstaff) have sponsored a host of bills intended to either limit the enforcement of federal laws and regulations in the state or seize control of state lands.

Gov. Doug Ducey has not taken a position on the bills, but at least some of them now seem likely to make it to his desk.

Rep. Barton’s HB 2318 would allow Arizona to join with Utah and other states to form a state compact to seek the transfer of public lands. Utah passed a similar measure last year. The commission would be charged with trying to wrest control of federal lands away from the federal government.

The federal government currently owns 42 percent of the land in Arizona. Indian tribes own about 27 percent and the state owns about 12 percent.

That leaves just 17.5 percent of the state in private hands.

Rep. Thorpe’s HB 2176 would

Saturday, April 18 Rep. Brenda Barton

Rep. Bob Thorpe

allow the federal government to turn over all land it controls that doesn’t serve a purpose specifically outlined in the U.S. Constitution.

Advocates like Rep. Barton say that the state could generate more revenue from the federal lands by either selling off the land or by leasing land to ranchers, miners, loggers and others.

They maintain that Arizona can’t afford to fund its schools in large measure because so much of the land belongs to the federal government, which doesn’t pay property taxes.

However, opponents say that the state does an even worse job of managing its land than the federal government.

Legal scholars say they suspect federal courts would overturn most of the measures under consideration.

Critics also dispute the claim

that Arizona’s 50th place rank in per-student funding stems from the federal ownership of so much land in the state. They say there’s no consistent relationship between per-student funding and the percentage of land owned by the federal government in a state. States in the south have per-student funding levels almost as low as Arizona, although they have very little federally owned land.

Besides, the large stretches of public land keep Arizona population densities low, which concentrates the need for public services like schools in areas with lots of privately owned land, like Maricopa County.

Opponents of the bills include a host of environmental groups, the Salt River Project, the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and the Arizona Public Health Association.

Payson finance department receives award For the seventh year, the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada awarded Payson’s finance department a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for its comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR).

The certificate is the highest form of recognition for governmental accounting and financial reporting.

An impartial panel judged Payson’s CAFR to see whether it met the high standard of the program including a constructive “spirit of full disclosure” to clearly communicate its financial story and motivate

potential users and user groups to read the CAFR. The GFOA is a nonprofit professional association serving approximately 17,500 government finance professionals with offices in Chicago and Washington, D.C.

Sex trafficking surpasses even illegal drugs From page 1A

Michele Nelson/Roundup

Jane Baker (right) and Rozlind Saumalu stunned an attentive audience at the Mount Cross Lutheran Church on Wednesday with a discussion about the sex trafficking of children.

and women to perform whatever acts of sex they wanted to on me.”

Saumalu is now a 37, with beautiful brown eyes, luminescent skin and curly black hair. But she said she did not always look that beautiful.

After she moved away from her aunts, her parents abused her physically and sexually, although her father worked in law enforcement and her mother worked in an office.

“It was all about appearances,” she said.

To the world, Saumalu looked like a neat, clean, well-dressed little girl, but inside she said she had rage, low self-esteem, shame and guilt.

“I began to carry these things,” she said. “There was nothing good about me.”

Ultimately, she dropped out of high school because she got disgusted with the normal kids doing normal things.

“I dropped out — things just became too much,” Saumalu said. “I can’t be with these people, they’re all pretending everything is normal. At home, something must be going on.”

Then, she met a boy. He treated her tenderly and told Saumalu she didn’t have to go back to her parents. He would take care of her.

Within one week, he had introduced Saumalu to a life that she was pretty familiar with — the sex trade and abuse.

Saumalu said he broke every bone in her body and she became a regular in hospitals.

Nonetheless, she told no one.

She was trapped.

Saumalu’s pimp continued the cycle of abuse, eventually forcing her to become a ‘bottom,’ required to recruit other girls to work in the sex trade.

“I would tell girls they should meet this great guy,” she said.

What got her out? Saumalu finally got

requested an opportunity to speak with Baker after her appointment.

“Two hours later, she comes back to the room,” said Baker, “I said, ‘You want to talk to me?’ She said, ‘Yes,’ looking at the ground the entire time, ‘I’ve never told anybody this in my whole life … my mother trafficked me when I was 10, 11 and 12.’”

Baker said the young woman proceeded to tell her the names of the nearby resorts where she was forced to sell her body for the money she gave to her mother.

“As she was speaking, she started shaking from the bottom of her feet to the top of her head,” said Baker.

When she finished, Baker asked her why she had finally revealed her devastating secret.

“Well, my mother died a couple of years ago and you care,” the woman told Baker.

Tragically, many families sell their children as sex objects, said Baker.

Baker introduced the audience to Rozlind Saumalu from the Glendale organization Street Light, U.S.A. (http:// streetlightusa.org).

The non-profit has 48 beds for girls ages 11 through 17 who have been victimized by child sex trafficking. The group strives to help these girls heal, finish their schooling, and return to normal society.

Saumalu currently works at Street Light U.S.A. as the assistant to the executive director, but she entered the world of sex trafficking at the age of 3 and did not escape until she turned 33.

“My aunties, my father’s sisters, started trafficking me at the age of 3,” said Saumalu “I was just a baby ... not only was I born into a world of deception and betrayal, I was left to the mercy of men

tired. One day when her trafficker was beating her, she called 911 and ran out with only the clothes on her back.

She has since graduated from school, become a social worker, found a relationship with God and forgiven herself.

But Penny Navis-Schmidt, a local Payson counselor and attendee of the Wednesday meeting, said Rim Country isn’t immune to this terrible scourge.

“I have treated women in Payson that have been trafficked,” she said. “I know that it exists in Payson. I know that there are individuals who have been trafficked by family in Payson.”

As the presentation unfolded, many in the audience gasped or got up to steady themselves with a cup of coffee or water.

One woman in the audience asked what could be done to stop the violent sex trade.

Baker said one response lies in laws like Phoenix’s ordinance 23-52, which requires police to arrest and punish the men who purchase sex. (To see the law, please go to: http://www.codepublishing. com/az/phoenix/frameless/index.pl?path=../html/Phoenix23/Phoenix2352. html).

The ordinance requires the police to arrest a John or trafficker and hold them for 15 days if the prostitute is over 18 and 180 days if the prostitute is under 18.

The men must also pay a fine, up to $2,500 and attend a “John’s School” — which made the crowd giggle.

“You laugh, but it’s incredibly effective,” said Baker. “The users of victims, the Johns, have absolutely no understanding of how these people are slaves.”

Baker said it takes a community to pass ordinances that forcefully say, “Not in our community.”

Navis-Schmidt agrees.

“As a community, we aren’t doing enough prevention,” she said. “I hope this starts the conversation.”

THAT Brewery welcomes new law allowing breweries to expand by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

Craft brewery owners around the state, including THAT Brewery in Pine, rejoiced Tuesday night as Governor Doug Ducey signed the Arizona Beer Bill, which protects the microbrew industry from restrictions

which would have limited growth.

Tamara Morken, owner of THAT with her husband Steve, spoke in support of bill 1030 in February before a Senate subcommittee. When she heard Ducey was signing the bill into law Tuesday at the Four Peaks Brewery in Phoenix, the largest microbrewery in the state, she

called the moment historical.

“We are very excited about the bill signing,” she wrote in an email. “This bill will ensure Arizona breweries are not penalized for success and also breweries now have the potential to grow without having to close down their pubs.”

The bill lets microbreweries

continue to operate restaurants even as they expand into large beer producers. Four Peaks, and all the 60 other microbreweries in the state, are now allowed to produce up to 6.2 million gallons of beer a year, six times the current cap of 40,000 barrels a year.

It also lets breweries operate up to seven bars or restaurants.

The legislation, proposed by Republican Sen. Kelli Ward of Lake Havasu City, passed with just one dissenting vote.

While THAT is far from reaching the size of Four Peaks, the Morkens hope to one day reach their success.

Opposing measure SB 1437, which did not pass, would have directly affected THAT Brewery.

SB 1437, supported by three wine and spirit distributors with the Arizona Wine and Wholesale Association, would have prevented breweries with two locations from self-distributing.

Tamara Morken, co-owner of THAT Brewery in Pine, is happy that Gov. Ducey signed bill 1030 in support of Arizona’s microbreweries.

Pine and downtown Cottonwood and self distributes all of its beer to some 75 locations around the state. If SB 1437 had passed, THAT would have had to hire a distributor, increasing costs 30 to 40 percent and forcing layoffs of delivery staff.

“We get to keep our self-distri-

bution rights, which was a huge concern of ours,” Morken said.

“The people spoke in overwhelming support of this bill and the government listened. This is a great example of people being able to affect change.”

Arizona’s craft beer industry is a multi-million dollar industry supporting more than 20,000 jobs and $600 million in wages, and has contributed more than $1.2 billion to the state economy, according to Ducey’s office.

“When it comes to business, Arizona should not be punishing success — we should be fostering and assisting in it,” Ducey said.

“This is a common-sense reform to an arbitrary and outdated law.

Arizona has a booming craft beer industry and it’s growing every day. I want to ensure that it continues to thrive, unimpeded by overly burdensome regulations.

It’s good for industry, enterprise and the economy —and it’s good for Arizona.”

SWAT team can’t find defiant felon by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

Payson Police Department SWAT team members surrounded a home on South McLane Road Thursday night looking for a man wanted on multiple felony warrants.

Officers didn’t find the man at the home and continue to look for him, said Police Chief Don Engler.

The SWAT team served the search warrant at the home in the 600 block of South McLane around 5:30 p.m. after learning the man might be staying

there.

The SWAT team was called in, including the bomb-proof truck, because the man had reportedly threatened to shoot officers if they tried to arrest him, saying he was not going back to prison without a fight, Engler said.

Engler did not release the man’s name because the department is still looking for him. The suspect is reportedly wanted on several felony warrants out of eastern Arizona including those for drug, burglary and weapons.

Officers were at the home until 7:30 p.m.

Colorado River’s impact: $1.4 trillion by

Sierra Oshrin

cronkite news

Without water from the Colorado River, Arizona’s gross state product would drop by more than $185 billion in a year and the state would lose more than 2 million jobs, a new report claims.

The first-ever study, released Thursday by Protect the Flows, estimated the Colorado’s economic impact on the six states and seven Southern California counties that draw water from the river at $1.4 trillion a year.

A total of 16 million jobs in the region rely on the direct, indirect and induced economic benefits that the river brings, the report said. Those jobs ranged from recreation and agriculture, which depend directly on the river, to employment in industries that are less directly reliant, like health care, manufacturing and biotech.

The report tried to put the overall regional impact of the river in perspective by noting that it would equal one-twelfth of the nation’s gross domestic product — or three times the retail sales of Walmart in 2012.

“I think what this shows us is just how critical having a healthy river is to Arizona’s overall economy,” said Garrick Taylor, a spokesman for the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry, which was not involved in the study.

The study was commissioned

by Protect the Flows, a coalition of businesses in the region that rely on the river. It was produced by the L. William Seidman Research Institute at Arizona State University’s W.P. Carey School of Business.

The report looked at the gross state product, employment and labor income of the

region: the states of Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Colorado, Utah and Wyoming, and the Southern California counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Imperial, Riverside, San Diego, San Bernardino and Ventura.

It also looked at the amount of Colorado River water consumed for agriculture and for municipal and industrial uses in those areas. Then it calculated what would happen to the economy if that water was not available for a year, and no substitute source of water was available.

Arizona, which draws 40 to 50 percent of its water from the Colorado, would see some of the sharpest impacts, edging Colorado in job losses and trailing slightly in declines to gross state product. Both states would lose just under 2.15 million jobs, but Colorado would lose an estimated $189 billion in economic activity to Arizona’s $185 billion.

Southern California, which draws up to 92 percent of its farming water and 37 percent of its municipal and industrial water from the river, would be the big loser. It would lose 7 million jobs and $657 billion in gross state product, the report claims.

An official at Protect the Flows said the report points to the importance of public policy that will help businesses create and implement strategies to improve water-use efficiency and conservation.

Many businesses in the river basin are already doing what they can to reduce their water footprint, said Ann Tartre, director of corporate partnerships at Protect the Flows. But she said those efforts need to continue and be supported.

Rose Lesnick

Tuesday

(1914-2015)

Rose Lesnick, 100, a resident of Payson and formerly of Yonkers, N.Y., passed away peacefully on March 16, 2015.

Rose was born on Nov. 28, 1914 in Halifax, Mass. and was raised in North Westport and Fall River. She was the oldest of Edouard and Valentine Parisee’s 11 children.

After graduating from B.M.C. Durfee High School, Rose moved to New York City, where she began working for Sheffield Farms Co., owned by National Dairy Products Corp., which later became Kraft. There she administered vehicle registration for all of the company’s trucks in the east.

She loved to go bowling with coworkers and see shows at Radio City Music Hall and other venues.

In 1942, Rose married Edward C. Lesnick, Sr. and became a homemaker for many years while residing in Yonkers. Later she started her own business providing vehicle registration for a number of automobile dealers in Yonkers.

She and her husband retired to live in Arizona in the 1980s.

Rose is survived by her son, Edward (Ned) Lesnick, Jr. of

California; four grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren of Washington, California, and Arizona; her sister, Rita Kennann of California; and many nieces and nephews. She was also the sister of the late Loretta McCormick, Irene Brady, Doris Shurtleff, Bernadette Schmidt Debus, Pauline Tripp, Leo, Armand, and Edward Parisee, and Peter Ross.

No. 1 with a bullet: Softball team rolling Horns get rematch with state champs on Tuesday by

Keith Morris

roundup sports editor

Attention Winslow residents: a herd of stampeding Longhorns are heading your way.

Well, perhaps the townsfolk will be spared, but the same can’t be said for the high school softball team that takes the field against Payson’s red-hot team at 3 p.m. Tuesday.

The Longhorns debuted at No. 1 in the initial AIA Division 3 power rankings released Wednesday and if they continue playing the way they have to

start the year they just might stay there all season.

Winslow spoiled Payson’s bid for the first state championship in program history with a 5-3 victory in last year’s Division 3 final, and you can bet these Longhorns would love nothing more than to exact a bit of revenge on the Bulldogs when the two state powers meet for the only time this regular season. Winslow (7-2) stood at No. 8 in Wednesday’s rankings.

The Longhorns improved to 20-1 overall with their 15th straight win, a 10-0 five-inning

mercy win at Section 5 opponent Holbrook on Tuesday. That victory left them 7-0 in power points games, which are basically all non-tournament games, and 2-0 in the section. Tucson Tanque Verde was No. 2 at 9-0.

The reason that team, which lost 1-0 in eight innings to Payson in the Gracie Haught Classic championship game, is behind the Longhorns in the rankings despite a better record, is that the Hawks have played a much weaker schedule than Payson.

The Longhorns’ average opponent rating of 5.5667 is the best

in the state.

The Longhorns continued to excel in all areas of the game against Holbrook, as Arissa and Aubrielle Paulson combined on a one-hitter. Arissa surrendered no hits and no walks in pitching the first three innings, recording all nine outs via the strikeout in improving to 15-1. Aubrielle allowed one hit and no walks while fanning two in working the final two innings.

Anilese Hayes led the seven-hit attack, going 3-for-4 with two doubles and three RBIs. Arissa Paulson singled and drove in two. Rachel Spooner tripled in her only at bat.

Surprising young Longhorns sit atop section by

Keith Morris

roundup sports editor

Many people probably wrote Payson High’s young baseball team off after a 2-9 start.

But hold on a minute.

Don’t look now — the Longhorns find themselves alone in first place in the section standings at 3-0 after reeling off three straight wins.

Junior Taran Sarnowski went 3-for3 with a home run, a double and three RBIs and sophomore Jake Beeler fired a three-hit shutout with nine strikeouts as Payson beat visiting Holbrook 4-0 on Tuesday night.

What a change of fortune for a team that entered last week’s Division 3 Section 5 opener at Lakeside Blue Ridge on a four-game losing streak.

But a 5-2 triumph over the 9-2 Yellow Jackets ignited a turnaround that continued with a 16-0 thumping of host Whiteriver Alchesay on Monday and Tuesday’s impressive performance against ace Carlos Quintana and a Roadrunner team that entered the game 6-3 left the Horns 5-9 overall.

But that overall record really doesn’t matter because it includes tournament games, which don’t count in the power points rankings. And Payson now finds itself 5-5 in those games.

Beeler, who walked three in pitching all seven innings, also collected two hits, including a double, and drove in a run as part of Payson’s nine-hit attack.

Junior Ruben Estrada doubled and singled.

“Pitching was really the story for us in this game,” said Payson coach Brian Young. “Jake was just outstanding. Jake throws hard and has worked to get his curve ball under control. You take a big strong kid like Jake who throws a strong fastball and give him a curve ball to keep guys off balance and he will just get better and better.”

And the skipper praised his

offense.

“Holbrook is a much improved team over the last couple of years and when Quintana pitches for them they are very tough,” he said. “We feel good about going out and beating a front-ofthe-rotation guy.”

The Longhorns committed one error, which didn’t hurt them as they improved to 5-5 in power points games.

“I’m still very happy with our defense,” Young said. “Again we had one error in the game, but they are out there making plays. Over the last three games we have given up two runs in 19 innings.

“I think there is a strong correlation between the pitching and defense. Our pitchers are growing up and learning what they need to do and getting confidence because our defense is making plays behind them. Every pitcher we have should want the ball knowing their defense is going to help them out behind them.”

In the five-inning mercy win over Alchesay, freshman Koy Duran pitched a one-hitter, striking out three and walking one in five innings. He hit a pair of Falcons.

“Koy pitched a very nice game,” Young said. “It was good varsity experience for him and we love his composure and demeanor on the mound.”

Payson pounded out a season high

15 hits, with Logan Morgan, one of the team’s three seniors, collecting two doubles among his three hits and driving in a pair. Sarnowski had two hits and two RBIs, Ruben Estrada and sophomore Hunter Paul both doubled and singled and Beeler doubled and drove in two.

“I am most happy that our guys went into a game where we were the more talented team and took care of business,” Young said. “It is not too hard to go into a game like this and be sloppy in the field. We did make one error on a ball we sat back on and then had to rush a throw, but other than that, our guys played hard and did what they needed to do.”

Payson faces a big section showdown with visiting Snowflake at 5:30 p.m. today and visits section foe Winslow at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday.

Young cautioned against getting too up over his team’s recent success.

“I like where we are at, but we can’t become stagnant now,” Young said.

“We have to keep working hard and getting better. Our schedule is going to be very challenging as we go on.”

Spring means regular trout stocking returns to Rim Country Spring is here, the hills are starting to green-up, every plant that has pollen is filling the air, and the Tonto Fish Hatchery has started its weekly stocking of rainbow trout.

Hoorah!

This is good news to those anglers who want to try their luck on one of the local streams and lakes in the Rim Country.

By April 1 the East Verde, Tonto, Christopher, Haigler and Canyon Creek are receiving weekly stockings of rainbow trout from one of the two local fish hatcheries.

Likewise, the lakes on top of the Rim such as Willow Springs, Woods Canyon, Bear Canyon, Black Canyon, Knoll and Blue Ridge will also receive catchable rainbows from spring into summer provided the water temperatures and pH

These

fish have been reared over a year for their final destination, the local trout waters. Successful recreational anglers return to places where they have caught trout.

The weekend fishing pressure will increase with every successive hot day in the Phoenix area with anglers trying to escape the desert heat and crowds.

On any given weekday, there may be little or no fishing pressure for the local angler who is willing to make an early morning visit to the trout waters. It is possible to dabble a fly or cast a spinner in solitude with no other fisherman on the water if you are there before the sun is up. Trout, whether recent hatchery imports or more wild, having lived in the stream for awhile, still bite better in the reduced light of dawn or dusk.

Most of the fishing waters below and

above the Rim are very much “put and take” which are stocked during the week and into the frying pan by the weekend.

There are very few wild rainbows and browns in the local waters for a variety of reasons, which I will discuss in later fishing articles.

A true wild fish is a trout that has been hatched and reared in that stream which is very rare. If you catch a German brown with the golden colored body and the distinct red spots on its side, do the species a favor and let it go. They are no longer stocked in most bodies of water in the state, even though they were introduced as a game fish in the early years of Arizona statehood.

Good luck in the new trout season, and remember, take a child fishing and enjoy God’s creation, the Arizona outdoors.

T-shirts are fine, but high-quality button up jerseys are better.

And the approximately 250 kids on 18 teams who hit the field for Payson Little League this year will be proudly donning new Majestic jerseys and matching caps donated by the Arizona Diamondbacks through their D-backs Give Back Jersey program.

“They’re nice,” said Payson Little League president Barbara Rasmussen.

“They’re real jerseys like the Diamondbacks wear.”

Rasmussen drove to Chase Field last week to pick up the jerseys and was heading to the printer to have numbers and the team sponsors added to backs of the jerseys.

“The kids heard it’s happening and they’re excited, they just haven’t seen them yet,” she said.

The jerseys all feature either Diamondbacks or D-backs written on the front and are available in 68 color combinations, including the traditional Sedona

Red, white, black and gray, as well as throwback colors purple and teal and unique options like Los D-backs, camouflage and gold.

The Diamondbacks launched the program last year, outfitting more than 22,000 kids enrolled in 30 youth leagues in the Phoenix area with jerseys and caps. They expanded the program this year to outfit more than 35,000 youth in 61 leagues.

The program is a partnership with Fry’s Food Stores, Tide and Western Refining.

Each participant in the program will receive an official D-backs Player Kit that includes a keepsake player contract, special offers and letters from Hall of Fame manager Tony La Russa and D-backs president and CEO Derrick Hall.

The Diamondbacks will also honor all Payson Little League players during an on-field ceremony during a game at Chase Field this season.

Rasmussen is thankful for the program.

“I think it’s amazing because, for a

rural Little League to be accepted into this program, it’s a huge money savings,” she said. “Last year we paid right about $15,000 for jerseys, pants, belts, socks and caps. And jerseys are the most expensive item. So we can spend that money back into our program providing better equipment for our kids.”

Money for uniforms last year came out of registration fees, sponsorships and fundraisers.

Rasmussen also applied to be included in the program in its first year.

“I’m always looking for grants, donations,” she said. “I don’t give up easily.”

Opening Day for Payson Little League is April 11.

Miraculous putt sends father-son team to major tourney by

Keith Morris

roundup sports editor

Tyler Apps felt the pressure.

The situation was dire.

He faced an 80-foot putt he simply had to make if he and his father stood any chance of keeping their dream of qualifying for a major national golf tournament alive.

The Payson family members found themselves in a four-team sudden-death playoff for the final two qualifying spots, and two of the three other teams were eying birdie putts of 15 and 25 feet, respectively. Tyler was simply hoping for a miracle to save par after he and his father had to take a one-stroke penalty for unplayable balls, only to have to hit a 200-yard shot from behind a tree just to get within 80 feet of the hole.

Well, Tyler stepped up to the ball and gave it the tap he hoped would send it on the proper downhill course it must travel with just enough speed to reach the intended destination.

After an agonizingly long journey, the ball disappeared into the cup at Desert Forest Golf Club in

Cave Creek on March 24.

“I hit the putt right where I wanted and it felt like an eternity waiting for it to get to the hole,” he said. “I was shocked, I couldn’t believe it had gone in. My dad had a big smile and jumped when it rolled in. It was an amazing change from the low to high as the odds were not at all in our favor.”

Perhaps burdened with pressure after watching Tyler’s incredible putt, neither of the

other teams with birdie chances made their first putts. One left his 25-foot putt three feet short and the other sent his 15-footer 10 feet past the hole. But he wound up sinking the 10-footer to par the hole, while the man with the three-footer could have forced all three teams into another playoff hole but missed for bogey, ending the drama and sending a California pair and the Apps to the United States Golf Association’s

perfect season

inaugural U.S. Amateur Four-Ball Championship at The Olympic Club in San Francisco, May 2-6.

It’s the first USGA event for either Marc or Tyler, the former Payson High standout golfer who is a junior finance major attending Grand Canyon University on golf and academic scholarships.

“I have been trying to qualify for national championships (U.S. Opens, U.S. Amateurs, etc.) for many years, so to finally have qualified for one with my son is really special,” Marc said. “I’ve been to two U.S. Opens at The Olympic Club as a spectator, but have never played there. We are both excited to compete at such a great venue against the top golfers in the country.”

“At the point we were at in the tournament I’m ecstatic,” Tyler said. “I couldn’t ask for a greater partner.”

Five qualifying positions for the national tournament were at stake in the tournament at Desert Forest and the father and son found themselves tied for fourth with five other teams on March 23, leading to a sudden-death playoff.

They both made par on the hole and two teams were eliminated with bogeys. Because of darkness, they and the three other teams returned to the course the following morning to continue the playoff to determine the final two qualifying teams.

A total of 128 two-player teams qualified for the national event.

Each player plays his own ball throughout the round. Each team’s score is determined using the better-ball score for each hole.

After 36 holes of stroke-play competition, the field will be reduced to 32 teams for the match-play portion of the championship.

The duo was one of the few father-son teams to qualify.

“I believe Tyler and I were just the second team in the country to qualify as a father-son team in the tournament,” Marc said. “Tyler and I also play in the Arizona Golf Association’s Father/Son Tournament each year in Prescott at Antelope Hills. I play a lot of tournament golf each year but that one is always my favorite.”

Marc’s wife and Tyler’s mother, Rene, will serve as Marc’s caddie, while Tyler’s girlfriend, GCU freshman golfer Deanna Salvatori, assists him.

Even though this is the inaugural USGA U.S. Amateur Four-Ball Championship, it proved to be a popular tournament to try and qualify for as more than 4,500 players from all 50 states and 17 different countries attempted to make it.

PHS Theatre Troupe offers a flighty sample of the magic of Tarzan by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

Kathy Siler, director of the Payson High School Theatre Department and director of the upcoming musical Tarzan, thought it would be fun for me to fly with the pulleys and wires the actors will use. “You’ll get to experience what they do,� she said.

Siler and her students had raised funds to hire ZFX Inc, a “flying company� that rents out harnesses, pulleys, wires and all the gizmos needed to fly actors from high schools to professional productions on stages the world over.

Siler said she first saw ZFX while at a conference in Lincoln, Neb. “We decided right then and there to do ‘Peter Pan,’� she said.

A massive landslide south of Payson in 2008 closed the Beeline Highway and hindered traffic to and from the Valley for several weeks.

Landslides threaten highways, homes Over the past decade, landslides in Arizona have damaged roadways and buildings costing millions in repairs and adjustments, including a massive slide several years ago that closed the Beeline Highway.

More recently, in February of 2013, a landslide along the Echo Cliffs south of Page, sliced through several hundred feet of U.S. Route 89 and closed the 23-mile section of road between Bitter Springs and Page.

Two years and $25 million in repairs later, the highway has reopened.

The Arizona Geological Survey (AZGS) is beginning a twoyear project to inventory landslide sites throughout Arizona.

AZGS research geologist Dr. Ann Youberg said, “Our current understanding of the nature and extent of landslide activity in Arizona is rudimentary, and thus it is very difficult to assess the hazards associated with landslides.”

AZGS will inventory historic and prehistoric landslides, focusing initially on highly populated areas and transportation corridors where hazards and risks are greatest. But landslide hazards are on the increase as development expands into mountainous terrain and as record wildfires and monsoon rains fuel dangerous, fast-moving debris flows, a type of landslide activity.

The Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs (DEMA) is awarding $150,656 through the federal Pre-Disaster Mitigation program, to the AZGS to start compiling data on landslides, while AZGS provides a $50,219 match of non-federal funds.

“The landslide database will be a useful tool for emergency managers throughout the state,” said Wendy Smith-Reeve, DEMA deputy director.

This program will create an online interactive Arizona Statewide Landslide Inventory Database of known and newly identified landslides; and an outreach and education program to inform local, tribal, county, state and federal officials.

Phil Pearthree, chief of the Environmental Geology section of the AZGS, said, “For the first time, AZGS will begin to systematically assess the distribution of landslides in Arizona.”

Last year’s Oso, Wash., landslide, claimed 43 lives and reignited nationwide concern about a geological hazard common to all 50 states, which cause about 50 deaths and $2 billion in damages annually.

Inventorying landslides and developing hazard and risk map assessments now will make Arizonans, their property and infrastructure safer in the years ahead.

aroundthe rim Kids get ready for highly-popular egg hunt There was Another of Pine and Strawberry’s highly popular Easter Egg Hunts will begin at 10 a.m. tomorrow, Saturday, April 4 at the Pine Trailhead.

The annual hunts are sponsored by the Pine Strawberry Business Community and coordinated by Shara Weiss of Mommy Perks, which also helps host the Fire on the Rim children’s bike race, the Strawberry Festival and local Christmas programs.

The event is free and includes pictures with the Easter Bunny, crafts, special golden eggs, prize baskets, snacks and ample fun for young and old alike.

Not to be forgotten in the excitement of Easter is an appearance by Pine Strawberry Fire Captain Joe Brandt and his crew who will be on site with one of their state of the art fire engines that always attract plenty of attention from infatuated young children.

After all, what young child doesn’t want to grow up to be a fireman?

Because parking is limited at the trailhead, carpooling is recommended.

Archers shoot for Kentucky

Members of the Pine Strawberry School Arizona State Champion archery team are conducting a series of fundraisers to earn the money necessary to travel May 7 to 10 to Lexington, Ky. to compete in the National Archery in Schools National Championship finals.

First up is a benefit Shoot-a-Thon to be held Friday, April 10. For it, archers are asking sponsors to make pledges on the individual’s shooting accuracy.

Sponsors may pledge a per-point (average shooting score is 240-275) amount or a flat donation toward an archer’s Shoot-a-Thon effort.

In addition to the Shoot-a-Thon, the team is holding a benefit bake sale April 3 in front of Safeway in Payson.

Also donations can be made through Credit for Kids and items are being accepted for upcoming raffles.

Call the school at (928) 476-3283 to donate or for more information.

Trails Day celebration

If Maureen Walsh tells you to “go take a hike,” don’t take it personally.

All she’s doing is encouraging you to get out and enjoy the beautiful Rim Country especially parts of the 800-mile Arizona Trail, which traverses the state from Mexico to Utah passing near Pine and Strawberry.

Walsh’s affinity for hiking and the outdoors has prompted her to volunteer to annually spearhead the Pine Strawberry Trails Day celebration which this year will be held 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday, April 18 beginning at the Pine Community Ramada.

For the day, Walsh has scheduled a variety of adventures including a birding hike guided by Tom Conlin, Joyce Bittner’s llama hike, Jim and Windy Quinton’s Arizona Trail trek over Bradshaw Meadow, the Rick Heffernonled Strawberry to Pine walk and biking the Bearfoot Trail with Roland Maier.

The Bearfoot Trail has been a popular local attraction since it was officially introduced during last year’s Trails Day Celebration.

It became a reality thanks to months of work last spring by retired PSFD Captain Mike Brandt and Fuel Reduction Committee volunteers.

Although finding the trailhead located just off Beeline north of Pine can sometimes be difficult, it is a spectacular journey that connects with Pine Canyon Trail 26 and Rock Wall Trail 608.

Along the way, hikers, bikers and equestrians will pass native stone retaining walls and drainage ditches skillfully constructed by Brandt and his crew.

The trail passes near the Portals communities and into Camp Lomia before connecting with the Pine Canyon Trail.

The journey is 5.6 miles and is rated as “easy.”

In addition to the hikes, Trails Day will include information booths, raffles and demonstrations from the U.S. Forest Service, Arizona Trail volunteers, Payson Rimstones and geocaching groups.

Each year, Trails Day attracts visitors from around the state and the upcoming festivities are expected to draw even more partly because the two towns morphed into hiking hotspots when they were designated “Gateway Communities” to the Arizona Trail.

Call Walsh (928) 978-1086 for more information about the 2015 Trails Day. Salsa contest

Chefs convinced they have perfected their hot sauce salsa recipes will have a golden opportunity to showcase their culinary skills 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday, May 2 in the Pine Community Center Ramada.

Tasting and contest voting is $4 per person and the entry deadline is April 26.

Gift certificate prizes will be awarded for first, second and third places.

The contest is sponsored by the Pine Strawberry Business Community and all proceeds benefit townspeople.

Call (928) 476-3641 for contest rules and to enter the contest.

I recently showed a friend some photographs that Lolly and I treasure. They show us during our wedding. One of them was taken as we knelt together at the altar with our heads slightly bowed.

I love that one; it always reminds me of what I was thinking at that moment.

As I knelt there I knew I would soon hear the words, “What God hath joined together, let no man put asunder.”

Thinking about those words I felt that an invisible hand was at work. After all, how could a kid born in New York City be halfway around the your turn world kneeling next to a woman who — like him — fell in love at first sight? It seemed an impossible dream.

What a day that was! It’s hard for me to decide which day Tom Garrett has been the happiest of my life, but that one is right up there. All throughout the marriage ceremony I felt that angels hovered above us.

However, not too many minutes later I got one of the worst shocks of my life. Holding hands, we scurried through the crowd of friends and well-wishers outside the church, smiling, laughing, and dodging rice. Into the chauffeured limousine we dove. I gave the driver the go-ahead. The engine started ...

But the car no sooner starting rolling than my beautiful bride, the woman of my dreams, my mate for life, stuck one arm out in front of her, tore at the sleeve of her white satin gown, and let loose a string of angry invective I could hardly believe.

“Am I allowed to hang a tailor?” was the very least of it.

I tell you, Johnny, my mouth was hanging open so far you could easily have driven that limo into it. I watched as Lolly struggled with the sleeve of her gown, failed to achieve her goal, and finally looked at me with tears in her eyes and asked me, “Have you got your penknife with you?”

I had it, and after I saw why we needed it, and after I had done what was needed, I gave her the biggest hug and kiss this planet has ever known. I also assured her that the hanging would take place the following day!

What was all that about? Well, I wish you could look at the photographs of that day with me. Only then could you fully understand. In them — in every one of them — the look on Lolly’s face is nothing short of angelic. There’s a sense of joy in her face that has to be seen to be appreciated. Everything she did that day, everything she said, every movement, every word that passed her lips was that of a joy-filled bride.

And yet!

At the end of each sleeve of that beautiful white satin gown was a triangle that covered the back of her hand, a tiny contribution to the gown’s perfection. But when Lolly went to the tailor for her final fitting the sleeves were slightly too short and the thin strand of nylon that looped around the middle finger of each hand to hold the triangle was too tight.

“This hurts,” she told the tailor.

“You’ll have to lengthen it.”

“Yes, Mem-Sahib. I will do it. It will fit perfectly,” he told her, his head bobbing.

But when she donned the gown just minutes before the time to be at the church she discovered that instead of loosening that thin strand of nylon cord, he had shortened it. And rather than inconvenience everyone by taking time out to have it fixed she made up her mind to “just bear it.”

And she did bear it, like an angel, as the photographs show.

Poor baby! You should have seen those two fingers! Those cords had cut into them so badly they stayed bruised for more than a week. I have asked her about it a hundred times. You know what she always says?

“Oh, dear! I couldn’t say anything. It might have spoiled our wedding.”

There was an angel at our wedding.

I married her.

For children 12 years of age and younger, this Saturday morning in Payson should be a whole lot of fun. The annual Eggstavaganza Easter Egg Hunt will take place at Rumsey Park on softball field 2 (nearest to Taylor Pool), beginning at 9:30 a.m.

Co-sponsored by the Kiwanis Club and Town of Payson, the annual event will have the following age-divisions: 0-3, 4 and 5, 6 and 7, 8 and 9, 10-12 and Special Needs. Each group of children will dash off every 15 minutes to collect plastic eggs filled with candy or coupons for special prizes.

I remember back when I was a youngster, growing up in our small Midwestern town, our parks program had the same type of event every Easter weekend. Except in those olden days things were a bit different. We actually raced through real grass, searching for real hard-boiled eggs, hidden behind trees and under bushes, that had been colorfully dyed (that must have taken some devoted mothers a whole lot of time), and hoping to find one of the few eggs that had a note attached to it, good for redemption for a shiny new silver dollar. I never did find one of those.

But like everything else, Easter egg hunts change with the passing of time — probably mostly due to a bad egg or two here or there and a lawsuit that followed.

If you have children or grandchildren up through 12 years old, you may want to bring them and their Easter baskets down to Rumsey Park Saturday morning. As always, it should be great family fun.

CROSSWORD

A final note

This past week, Road 300 (which travels along the upper edge of the Rim and allows access to the Rim lakes) was officially opened for the season. Within the next couple of days, I’ll be headed up that way to do a little fishing at Woods Canyon Lake. Of course, I’ll have my camera along (these days I never go anywhere without it), and hope to capture a few pictures of the beauty of the area and of the wildlife that make their homes there.

In next week’s article, I’ll let readers know what I find — and how the fish were bitin’.

Have a great Rim Country week!

Beloved trail cleaned up for great hikes Christopher Creek showed off its community spirit this past weekend — 60 folks gathered to voice their concerns and opinions.

The issue is of less importance than the coming together of local residents to respond. Seldom are there occasions to see this unity and enthusiasm at a time that is not a disaster or emergency. In my memory this instance of so many coming together has not been seen since the Dude Fire in the early 1990s. Christopher Creek deserves my salute. Gary Anderson offers his summary below.

Many years ago, it was a regular treat to see the elk come in along about dark to graze. A popular spot is the hillside where the old Cameron stable once Rod Britain photo stood directly across from the See Canyon and Promontory Point with recently thinned forest in Landmark.

Frank and Mikey Marrazza in the shadows of the neck formed Easter Egg Hunt for youngsters by the intersection of Promontory up to the age of 12. Back in the came to the Creek from

Pennsylvania in the 1990s. Frank was involved in construction and they built the Wooden Nickel cabins at the entrance to Hunter Creek. Mikey authored this space for a number of years. Frankie Jo, their daughter, was born here. Frank was at the Mayo Clinic when he passed away last Monday at 67.

This is Gary Anderson’s summary of the events of Saturday morning: A voluntary meeting of CC property owners was organized by Randy Slapnicka. He announced the meeting by way of posted signs around town.

The purpose(s) of the meeting was to present information and encourage the formation of a voluntary committee to study the establishment of an improvement district for Christopher Creek. An improvement district is a quasi-governmental agency run by a local elected board of directors.

The stated purpose of the proposed improvement district for CC was to implement a central sewage system, a sewage treatment plant and a system for getting rid of effluents. Discussion also included the possible purchase and operation by the improvement district of the CC water company.

After about 75 minutes of presentation, questions and discussion, a show of hands was taken regarding community support for forming a voluntary committee to study the issue of forming a CC improvement district. The vote was six (6) in favor of forming a study committee and fifty-one (51) opposed. These numbers are plus or minus one or two.

Hope you didn’t get April fooled … and that’s another week in the Creek.

A hearing is now set to consider the Petition on: May 8, 2015 at 9:00 AM (1 hour allotted) before the Honorable Gary V.

Court rules only charter cities can control own elections by

Pete Aleshire

roundup editor

Payson will not regain control of its own elections, despite a recent Arizona Supreme Court Ruling limiting the Legislature’s control over charter cities.

Several years ago, the Arizona Legislature passed a law requiring charter cities to hold their elections on the same days as the party primaries and the state general elections.

Advocates said consolidating the elections would save money and increase turnout, since people drawn out to vote for president or governor would also vote on local council elections, bond issues and other local issues.

Critics said the consolidation would make it harder for cities to decide local issues against the din of national and statewide campaigns.

Moreover, Payson in recent elections cycles faced unexpected problems with voter turnout and provisional ballots. Payson had previously shifted to allmail ballots, which cut costs and increased participation.

However, the consolidation of the

town’s mail-in ballot with general and primary ballots largely wiped out those savings and also resulted in a host of provisional ballots when voters took mail-in ballots to the polls.

However, the Supreme Court ruling will affect only the state’s 38 charter cities, with little impact on non-charter cities like Payson.

The Legislature in 2012 adopted a law proposed by the Goldwater Institute that consolidated elections. Critics of the law said they thought it was in large measure in response to the victory of a Democratic candidate for the mayor of Phoenix in 2011, since many Republicans that would have voted in a general election didn’t turn out to vote in the local election.

Last year a state appeals court overturned the law, saying charter cities have a constitutional right to control their own elections, even if consolidating elections would save money or boost turnout.

The Arizona Supreme Court upheld the appeals court decision without comment.

Colorado River hatchery back in the trout business The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has agreed to resume rainbow trout at the Willow Beach National Fish Hatchery on the Colorado River south of the Hoover Dam. The hatchery had dropped raising rainbow trout to concentrate on raising endangered native fish for reintroduction efforts. But the agency came under political pressure to reconsider, especially from Rep. Paul Gosar, who represents both Rim Country and most of western Arizona along the Colorado River.

“The agreement to restore rainbow trout stocking at Willow Beach is a win for jobs, Arizona’s economy and sportsmen throughout the country.

“Countless individuals, including Senator John McCain and the good folks at the Arizona Game Fish Commission, stepped up and deserve thanks for speaking out after trout stocking was arbitrarily terminated.”

Gosar continued in a statement, “I am also grateful that it only took the federal government 16 months to resume a program it should have never terminated in the first place and only about six months to finalize a cooperative agreement that everyone supported. Inflating repair costs by $8 million in order to justify terminating the rainbow trout program so the Service could focus on producing humpback chubs and suckers is a serious violation of trust. This dishonesty jeopardized 1,700 jobs and $75 million in associated impact.”

So he took one final dig at the USFWS. “As such, I will not applaud the Fish and Wildlife Service for being forced to do something they should have done voluntarily. Closing fish hatcheries and terminating important mitigation programs throughout the country is a bad idea.”

The political dust up dates back to November 2013, when the USFWS changed its priorities

Rep. Paul Gosar was instrumental in getting the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to resume raising rainbow trout at the Willow Beach National Fish Hatchery. for its hatcheries and announced plans to close propagation programs and possibly hatcheries throughout the nation in fiscal year 2015. The USFWS also terminated the rainbow trout stocking program at the Willow Beach National Fish Hatchery in Arizona in November 2013 to focus on producing humpback chubs and suckers.

Congressman Gosar then introduced and passed through the House Natural Resources Committee, the Fish Hatchery Protection Act, H.R. 5026. This legislation successfully passed out of the Natural Resources Committee on July 30, 2014 and sought to preserve fish hatcheries and propagation programs within the National Fish Hatchery System and stipulated that only Congress can authorize the termination or significant alteration of such facilities or programs.

During hearings last year, USFWS officials said if they could fix a water supply line damaged in flooding they could resume raising rainbow trout.

Human pills pose lethal threat to pets The Arizona Veterinary Medical Association (AzVMA) encourages pet owners to take steps to create a safe environment for their pets.

One-quarter of all calls to ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) are concerning human medications, usually a by-product of chewing on the containers or a dropped tablet.

Dr. Michelle Larsen of the Emergency Animal Clinic, Avondale, said, “You’d be surprised how interesting, and even appetizing, your household pet may find a tablet or a pill vial.”

Keep all medications out of reach of your pets; many can be lethal even in small doses.

The top five medications eaten by pets include ibuprofen, Tramadol, Alprazolam (Xanax), Adderall, and Ambien.

Tylenol (acetaminophen) is

very toxic to cats.

Other poisonous substances include household cleaners, pesticides, and some human foods such as chocolate, grapes, garlic, onions, avocado and macadamia nuts.

Ingestion of many common plants, such as lilies, can lead to illness and, in some cases, death.

Flea medication should be applied only after carefully reading labels.

Species-specific products should only be used for that species.

Have a plan of action if poisoning occurs. Plan to collect any containers or samples that will help determine the type of poisoning; also collect anything your pet vomited or chewed in a sealed plastic bag and bring the samples with you to your veterinarian.

Even if your pet isn’t showing symptoms, seek emergency assistance.
