Prop. 123 ‘safe’ way to help schools by

Payson ponders economic plan

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

“This is a common sense solution. This addresses a very exact problem and does it in a safe way.” Laddie Shane

Yes on Prop. 123

Laddie Shane from the Yes on Prop. 123 campaign made a special trip to Payson to speak to the Payson Tea Party at its meeting on April 12 — he also answered a lot of questions. Making note that he loves to wear cowboy boots and doesn’t get to very often in the Valley, Shane launched into why the proposition needs to pass. “This is a common sense solution,” said Shane. “This addresses a very exact problem and does it in a safe way.” By “safe way” Shane referred to lack of tax increases or withdrawals from the state’s “rainy day” fund. Proposition 123 would provide about $350 million in new money annually for the next decade. About 60 percent of that money would come from increasing payments from the State Land Trust, already reserved for schools. The rest would come from the state’s growing surplus.

An annual mountain bike festival. A covered event center. A focus on Old Town Payson and completing the American Gulch project to help make the town a destination and not a drive-thru. These goals figured prominently in a draft of the town’s five-year economic development plan. Other goals include diversifying the economy, working with the youth on job training skills, creating an entrepreneurial culture and launching a new marketing campaign. The list of goals ran to 16 pages — the town’s to-do list for the next five years. Judie Scalise, a consultant with ESI Corp., met with town staff and community leaders. Based on their feedback, Scalise drafted a plan. Scalise urged the town to not limit its efforts to convincing Arizona State University to build a campus here, which remains years from operation. Scalise said working on Main Street, outdoor recreation and other economic goals won’t take away from the university project, but will help focus on the town’s existing strengths. Payson must promote itself as a destination, she said. Bobby Davis, the town’s economic development specialist, said, “If we follow these

Payson’s Plan

Bid to expand medical care blocked Peter Aleshire

roundup editor

A House bill that would have provided health insurance to 30,000 to 45,000 children from working poor families — including an estimated 500 in Gila County — this week smashed into the brick wall of Senate President Andy Biggs. HB2309 would have reinstated coverage for uninsured children from families making up to 200 percent of a poverty level wage. Under the terms of the Affordable Care Act, the federal government would pay 100 percent of the cost of providing care for that population. Sen. Biggs buried the bill in the Senate, refusing to assign it to a committee or allow a vote. He argued

Kids out of luck by

75 CENTS

The rodeo, mountain bikers, special events, the university, new construction and creative businesses all figure in Payson’s draft economic development plan. The plan focuses on how Payson can use the university, American Gulch and Main Street to revitalize the economy.

that even though the federal government might pay 100 percent of the cost initially, lawmakers would find themselves pressured by people who obtained coverage in the event the federal government decided in the future to make the state share the cost. The Grand Canyon Institute, an independent Arizona Think Tank, this week issued a policy paper saying that expanding the program would result in $40 million in direct benefits to the state economy — and total direct and indirect benefits of $75 million. The analysis concluded, “Arizona would be wise to revive its KidsCare program. The state for FY 2017 would

Sopeland sentence No jail in ammunition selling case by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

After a tumultuous legal battle, a Payson man was sentenced Wednesday morning to probation for taking scrap ammunition from his former employer and selling it to a friend. Judge Gary Scales sentenced Clayton Sopeland to 24 months probation after a jury found him guilty of fraudulent schemes and artifices. If Sopeland does well on probation, it could end sooner, Scales said. As a convicted felon, Scales ordered Sopeland not to possess any firearms or ammunition. Sopeland worked as a hunting guide. Sopeland’s legal fight appears far

from over though, as his lawyer Art Lloyd said he would appeal. In 2015, Sopeland initially pleaded guilty to taking scrap ammunition from his employer, Advance Tactical Armament Concepts, which manufactures HPR Ammunition. Lloyd then asked the court to let Sopeland take that guilty plea back and face trial. While Superior Court Judge Peter Cahill denied that request, the Arizona Court of Appeals Division II found that Sopeland could revoke it. In October, a trial began with the owners of HPR taking the stand along with current and former employees, the man who bought ammo from Sopeland and detectives. Sopeland

Volunteers stampede to the posse by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

After years of losing members, the Gila County Sheriff’s Posse joyfully swore in seven new members Tuesday night. The new recruits boosted membership by 40 percent, increasing the rolls from 18 to 25. Paul Frommelt, with the posse, said his goal is 30-35 members. But if the group gets much larger, it will have to find a new place to meet. The old Gila County Jail off West Main Street and South McLane Road was busting at the seams Tuesday night with the new additions.

The new members range from former police officers and military veterans to business owners and retirees. Connie Latham said she moved to Payson in December and wanted to get involved in the community and give back. She said until now the brown uniform had deterred her from applying. Posse members wear uniforms, a badge and some even carry a gun. Duties include transporting prisoners to Globe, providing security at school events, crime scenes and town events, escorting funeral processions, directing traffic at the rodeo and helping out virtually anytime the Gila County Sheriff’s Office needs extra help.

E R O M &

Members pay for their own uniforms, pay a $50 initiation fee as well as a $25 yearly fee. Frommelt joined the posse a year ago to stay busy in retirement and give back. Frommelt was a recruiter for the National Guard in the late ’70s and offered his experience to the posse to recruit new members. Members set up a booth outside local grocery stores and met several interested people. The posse swore in seven new members Tuesday and has five to eight potential new members in the pipeline, Frommelt said. Sheriff Adam Shepherd thanked the

lookback

The first step Revive Main Street. Support local businesses. Boost workforce training. Use the American Gulch. Overhaul the Payson Event Center. Good ideas, each and every one. The kinds of good ideas that have eluded community leaders for years — even before the Great Recession inflicted damage from which we’ve still not recovered. Still, the ideas the consultant crammed into Payson’s draft economic development plan provide a pointed reminder of the limbo into which Payson’s plans for the future have fallen. Obviously, the university project remains the single most important project when it comes to gaining attention, creating good, year-round jobs and boosting Payson’s economic and cultural life. But set that one aside for the moment. Lots of people continue to work hard to make that elusive dream a reality. But what about the meantime? The report includes the intriguing notion of creating a community facilities district to transform the American Gulch from an eyesore into an amenity likely to spark-plug the development of Main Street. The town is already using grant money to begin the project, which could create a trout stream with recharged water running alongside Main Street — with hiking, biking and birding trails. Financing remains challenging — but clearly such a project offers new hope for long-suffering Main Street — our best shot at creating a pedestrian-friendly setting. We were also excited to read the long list of proposals for building the kind of well-trained workforce that could attract manufacturing and other sources of good, year-round jobs. We hope the town, Gila Community College and the Payson Unified School District will seize on the suggestion we give our students rich opportunities to do internships so they can gain real-world experience, while filling a need for local businesses. Can’t we make Payson a town where every capable and interested student does an internship in his or her senior year? The Payson Christian School has already made internships integral to its curriculum. PUSD should follow suit. And Payson officials should help bring together school and business leaders to expand the concept throughout town. The report also included lots of good ideas about developing trails and creating fresh outdoor recreational opportunities. Of course, many of these ideas have been knocking around for years — especially when it comes to Main Street pipe dreams. But we’ve heard very little of this talk in recent years — and seen even less action by the town council. Granted, enormous effort, time and creativity have gone into advancing the university project to this point. But the report illustrates the great wealth of other ideas the town must actively pursue. So let’s start with the American Gulch, internships and trails. The journey’s long, the path faint. But even the longest journey begins with a single step.

Heartless and cruel Senate President Andy Biggs’ decision to not even allow a vote on a plan to provide health care for at least 30,000 low-income children seems mindless and cruel. An unusually bipartisan House voted to revive KidsCare, which offers AHCCCS coverage to children in families making up to 200 percent a poverty level wage. The federal government would pay all the costs and the state would revoke the program if the feds in the future tried to shift any significant portion of the cost back onto the state. The Grand Canyon Institute estimates the expansion will generate economic benefits totaling $75 million — including about $3 million in new tax revenue. More importantly, it will likely save lives and help children stay healthy — while avoiding the many cascading problems that stem from ill health. The Institute’s white paper on the topic told the story of Michelle and Michael Wolfson, whose three children were kicked off the program when lawmakers limited eligibility in 2010. Now, one of their children has developed scoliosis. Although both parents work, they face bankruptcy from spiraling medical bills — and cannot afford to adequately treat their daughter. Multiply such cases a thousand-fold and you’ll understand how heartless the senator’s decision seems to us. Biggs has said that middle class families also struggle with medical bills. True enough — but that hardly justifies such indifference to the plight of the children of low-income, hard-working families. We hope he will reconsider his pitiless position and let the Senate vote on HB2309.

Will wolves force cowboys onto welfare? by

Barbara Samples

mogollon rim news

On Feb. 8, 2016, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) met with ranch permittees at the Black Mesa Ranger Station in Overgaard. Six permanent Mexican wolf release sites are now located in the Chevelon Lake vicinity. Besides permittees at the meeting were U.S. Forest Service land managers, rangers, biologists, etc., Jim deVos, of Arizona Game and Fish; Jim O’Haco of the Arizona Livestock Board; and for USFWS, John Oakleaf, Kent Laudon and Sherry Barrett. These proposed releases are scheduled for 2017. Wolf managers look for a third of an acre that is flat, has water, a substantial prey base and where there will be less conflicts with people. They release a breeding pair, (male and female) and pups. A breeding pair tends to stay in the general vicinity while tending their pups. So, for the first year or so, these wolves most likely won’t leave the area. USFWS said they average one to two releases per year in a new area. Wolves travel up to 250 miles and with eight release sites also in Young, that is a lot of territory. When asked if one release site was preferred over another a permittee commented, “It’s like you’re asking me if I want to die by gunshot or poison. I’m still just as dead.” Four sites discussed were Sand Point, Chevelon Canyon, William Canyon South and North. It was suggested the farther south you go, the more elk. Chris James of Black Mesa added also to the south are up to 1 million recreational users. There is a new reimbursement program still in the works passed by the 2015 Arizona

Legislature. Right now farm producers can get payment for Depredation and Conflict Avoidance but not Pay for Presence. In the 2014 Farm Bill Livestock Indemnity Program the Fair Market Value for the different sizes and gender of cattle is based on 95 percent of the nationwide values (versus local values) and then payment is 75 percent of that with a 1099 to follow. So, where else do you experience a loss and then get a 1099 and have to pay tax on loss reimbursement? Jim O’Haco said, “We want to know when, where and how many wolves. My recommendation to you folks (permittees) is to pursue compensation. The Coexistence Council is not working real well. There was a rancher in Greenlee County where the wolf kills put him out of business. He sold the rest of his cows but then couldn’t sell the ranch. You’re gonna put somebody out of business. Less than 1 percent

of our population is producing food and fiber in this country and soon we’ll be dependent on foreign sources for food.” A permittee commented, “At the end of the day everybody in this room has one purpose, to go out and work, come home, kiss momma and the kids and hopefully get a paycheck. This wolf, not his fault, but somebody will have to go home and tell momma we’re out of business.” When asked if the current stated goal of 300-325 wolves is the number needed to delist the Mexican wolf, Barrett replied that they do not know that final number until the recovery plan is done at the end of 2017. She stated, “We’ll have numbers of wolves in the wild so it will persist over time without going back on the list.” Per Lauden, “In Montana, once our goals were met and the wolf delisted, we looked right away at seasons on wolves. There’s been hunting and trapping of wolves in Montana and Idaho since 2009. In my area, we’ve moved a third of the wolf population.” One cowboy summed it up: “There’s not a cowboy in this room that couldn’t qualify for disability but we want to work. At the end of the day the only way money is generated is harvest the animal you grow. “Not just cattle ... elk and deer bring in money to the economy. But the wolf doesn’t contribute. Saddens me we’re being made wards of the government. I don’t want welfare. But, what choice do I have?” Barbara Samples is owner and editor of the Mogollon Rim News in Heber-Overgaard.

Grand Canyon + uranium mine = crazy Editor: Two subjects that should never be mentioned in the same paragraph; much less the same sentence: Uranium Mine and the Grand Canyon. And yet, Rep. Paul Gosar is holding a meeting in Kingman this month to discuss allowing the mining of uranium at the Grand Canyon by his mining company supporters. Gosar claims the government, and President Obama, of course, are keeping public lands from the “American people” by declaring the land a public monument. Gosar, in search of an inflammatory platform to prop up his image as an anti-Obama Tea Party hero, has now fired this shot across the bow of all Arizonans who hold the Grand Canyon to be a sacred site that already belongs to the public. Gosar claims he has the support of all Republican politicians in Arizona including Senators John McCain and Jeff Flake. I would be very disappointed in the two senators is this is true.

What a strange idea

Where in the world did you get that strange idea? There are quite a few subversive antirights websites and blogs and Facebook pages out there that lie through their teeth and not all of them cynically claim to be “satire.” It pays to confirm what you read with research into the facts. Donald L. Cline

Editor: I don’t know where Peter Aleshire is getting his information for the “The Greasy Pole” column headlined “Guns, background checks, dark money — they got it all,” subject heading “Guns at town hall,” or whether the sentence is an intentional lie or merely disinformation from the anti-rights blogosphere, but the following statement is a direct quote from the article: “People with concealed carry permits do have to pass a routine background check, but no longer have to undergo verified training.” To the contrary, Mr. Aleshire, obtaining a concealed carry permit does require verified training pursuant to Arizona Revised Statute 13-3112. The bill in question SB1257, does not remove that requirement.

Editor’s note: That item came mostly from a report by the Capitol News Service, which covers the Legislature. Specifically, Senator Steve Farley quoted from a Department of Public Service website. The article said Farley: “quoted from the Department of Public Safety website saying that changes in a law in 2010 removed many of the statutory requirements to get a CCW permit and instead provided alternate ways of getting one. The result, said Farley, is DPS is no longer checking to ensure that those who claim to offer CCW training are complying with state law. This is the basis for saying people with concealed weapons permits no longer go through “verified” training — although the requirement for training may remain.

Of course Sen. Sylvia Allen, Rep. Bob Thorpe, and Rep. Brenda (Seldom Seen) Barton are on board with this insane plan. Election time is coming ... Ted Paulk

Gripping story Film festival includes tale of girl targeted by the Taliban by

Teresa McQuerrey

roundup staff reporter

Later this year, the Payson chapter of Amnesty International celebrates its sixth anniversary. This weekend it has one of its biggest annual events — a film festival. The feature of the festival is “He Named Me Malala” and its focus is on education as a human right. The film is the true story of a young girl, Malala Yousafzai, from Pakistan with a passion for education for girls. As a teenager, she was so vocal she caught the attention of the Taliban, which decided to get rid of her. An assassination was attempted, but she survived and caught the attention of the world. She ultimately was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace. Malala continues to share the message of the importance of education. The film screening is at 2 p.m., Saturday, April 16 at the United Methodist Church, 414 Easy St. There is no charge, however, donations of school supplies for local schools or a free will offering will be appreciated. Soroptimist International of Zane Grey Country and Amnesty International of Payson are partnering to bring the film to Rim Country. This is not the first film the group has showcased featuring Malala Yousafzai. Her story was told in “It Only Takes A Girl” presented as part of the first film festival the group hosted in April 2013. “It was a way to let the public know about Amnesty,” said Penny Navis-Schmidt, who facilitates the chapter. When the first festival was presented, the chapter had 16 members. The project was huge, Navis-Schmidt said. The members went through selected documentaries and chose clips

from different productions and edited them into videos. They were using two or three rooms at the Payson United Methodist Church to screen the works at the first festival. The effort has been scaled back each year — mostly due to the fact that the chapter’s core membership has dropped as people moved away or passed away. While, the chapter doesn’t have many members, its events continue to draw around three-dozen people. The best film festival attendance has been 35 — Tempe’s chapter has only drawn 40. “It’s no challenge to find documentaries. There are so many good ones out there. The difficulty is deciding which to show,” Navis-Schmidt said. That was not the case this year — when the late Ed Blair heard the documentary was available, he urged the group to show it. Showing a single production would also make the event much simpler to present. Jean Oliver, with the local chapter of Soroptimist International, came to the December 2015 write-a-thon (something she always does, Navis-Schmidt said) and they asked if it were something the Soroptimist would be interested in partnering with the Amnesty group in showing. Since the primary focus of the Soroptimist organization is on women and education, Oliver said it was absolutely something the group could get behind. Following the screening, there will be time for discussion and an opportunity for those interested to take action. “We have an action table where people can sign petitions, write letters,” Navis-Schmidt explained. To learn more about the film festival, call either Jean, 928474-6167 or Penny, 928-978-1268.

Sheriff Adam Shepherd (center) swears in seven new Gila County Posse members Tuesday night. They include James Hinton, Greg Johnson, Connie Latham, Robert Rogge, James Sedlock and Amanda and Leo Petruzella.

Sheriff’s Posse recruits seven volunteers From page 1A new volunteers for providing an invaluable service to the office. “You don’t know how much this means to me,” he said.

From page 1A come out ahead fiscally by reviving it.” Arizona had previously expanded the program under the terms of a voter initiative, but in 2013 revoked eligibility. At that time, the state had to pay 23 percent of the cost of the program, which covered 45,000 children – including 500 in Gila County. Subsequently, Congress enacted the Affordable Care Act, which offered to pay the full cost if states expanded eligibility under their Medicaid programs – which in Arizona is known as the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS). HB2309 would restore eligibility, but included a provision to again revoke coverage if the federal government stops paying the full cost of the expansion. The expansion would extend coverage to families making between $27,700 and $40,000 a year, depending on the family size.

Among the new members are Leo and Amanda Petruzella, newlyweds, looking for a way to give back and spend time together, Frommelt said. Frommelt plans to mentor the couple and take them on patrol soon.

Arizona is the only state that didn’t expand its Medicaid program to take advantage of the federal coverage. Arizona currently has the third highest percentage of uninsured children in the country, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. The families that lost coverage in Arizona are now in a twisted Catch 22 dilemma. The Affordable Care Act requires them to obtain coverage or pay a fine. In all the other states, they could get free or low-cost coverage through Medicaid. Gov. Doug Ducey did not include restoration of KidsCare as a priority in his State of the Union and has so far remained non-committal about whether he would sign a bill that restored the program. However, Sen. Biggs has rejected calls for a hearing on the restoration. He has said that middle class families also struggle to pay their medical bills, mostly because they have to pay such

high taxes. The Grand Canyon Institute suggested studies show providing health insurance coverage for low-income children yields all sorts of long-term benefits, including a small but significant increase in high school graduation and college attendance rates. Other studies showed a small increase in death rates after lawmakers revoked coverage for the KidsCare and other populations, in its effort to cope with a onethird decline in state revenues during the recession. The Grand Canyon Institute also indicated that the expanded program enjoys bipartisan support in Congress and nationally and predicted Congress would continue to provide full funding for the program beyond the current reauthorization date of 2017. Meanwhile, a group of lawmakers – including Rim Country representatives Brenda Barton and Bob Thorpe – continue to pursue a lawsuit seeking to repeal the

expansion of AHCCCS eligibility to families and non-working adults making up to 138 percent of a poverty level wage, which is also fully funded by the federal government. The state actually turns a profit on that population, thanks to a fee hospitals agreed to pay to ensure the expansion didn’t affect the state budget. The legislators’ lawsuit maintains that the hospital fee amounts to a tax, which means it should have required approval of two-thirds of the Legislature. Hospitals generally supported imposition of the fee in hopes that the expanded coverage would reduce their uncompensated care bill for treating people without insurance. About 30 percent of Gila County residents rely on AHCCCS for their health care – one of the highest rates in the state. If the lawsuit succeeds, an estimated 4,000 Gila County residents could lost their health care coverage.

Talking REAL ESTATE

Tips from Successful Home Sellers The real estate market and all the things involved in selling a home can seem complicated and it can be very hard to know which tips to trust. While there’s plenty of great advice to go around from many knowledgeable sources, here are some of the best tips from home sellers who have made a successful sale. Research Your Local Agents - When considering an agent that will meet your home-selling needs, it can be tempting to go with someone familiar or recommended through a friend who seems like a safe bet. However, it’s important to do your research and find an agent who has a number of “Sold” homes under their belt. Create a list of agents you’re impressed by, take note of their sales and keep in mind that you may want to lean towards an agent who has expertise in your neighborhood. Get a Second Opinion on Price - Before you have an agent over to give you a price evaluation of your home, its worthwhile doing some research on your end to determine the approximate value of your property. Once you’ve arrived at a figure, bring in the agents you’ve selected to do the price evaluation of your property. If one price is significantly higher than the other, it may be a red flag that an agent is trying to win over your business, regardless of whether the sale price is reasonable. In this case, you will want to choose the agent that provides the most appropriate price. Be House Ready at All Times - Having potential buyers view your home will certainly make the idea of selling it real, so make sure that it is ready for viewing at any time. Buyers often feel uncomfortable in the presence of a seller, so try to be gone during showings. If you are home do not make comments about the homes appearance, the price, personal property or motivation to sell. These are all items that can affect the buyers offering price. Make sure your pets are contained during showings. If at all possible have the blinds opened and lights on. If a potential buyer cannot view your property or has to work around your schedule constantly to arrange viewings, there’s a pretty good chance that you may lose out on potential buyers. Instead of missing out, have your home on a real estate lock box and ready at all times so agents can show people your home when you’re not around. Putting your home on the market can be a matter of anxiety & concern, if you’re not sure what to do, but by researching your agents and being prepared you’ll increase your chances of success.

provides information and tools to teach the public about the role of fertilizers in growing food. Nutrients for Life also hosts a program specifically for FFA chapters to do something that will educate and engage their communities in food production. The projects may teach about plant nutrition, fertilizer, soil science and agricultural issues to show how they affect food production. (For more information, please visit: https://www.nutrientsforlife. org) If Nutrients for Life deems the project worthy, the FFA chapter wins a cash prize anywhere from $3,000 to $1,000. Two years ago, Rutherford said the Payson FFA chapter won first place. With the money, the students purchased a green house. “They hope to win first place again this year,” he said. Contest aside, the information Egbert, Chapman and Jacquie Jones presented really helped some gardeners consider their gardens in a new light.

With a bouncy personality and passion for the subject, Kylee Egbert and her partner Rylie Chapman stood at the head of the classroom in the Agricultural Building on the Payson High School Campus to talk about fertilizers. “Now we’ll show you where potash comes from,” said Egbert, “I found this really interesting and educational.” Hard to imagine Egbert not fascinated by anything having to do with animal science or gardening, as she clearly relished educating the Rim Country residents who came to the FFA presentation. Agriculture instructor and FFA advisor David Rutherford sat in the audience to watch his students. “This was completely done by the students,” he said of the presentation.

Plants that turn purple could need phosphorus. Too much potassium burns the edges of plants yellow.

solutions as to why their garden just wasn’t up to snuff last year. “I had the worst garden I’ve ever had last year,” said Jackie. Bob said part of the reason was the pack rats that chewed everything up, but he said he’s got that under control. Chapman explained that every plant needs a combination of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium to grow vigorously and healthy. The pH of the soil, however, might limit the plant from adequately taking up nutrients. A lack of nitrogen might make

For the past two years the group has sold its compost. Last year Rutherford said they made $300, but this year, after getting word out in the Roundup, the Payson FFA sold $1,000 worth. And that potassium? Well, potash makes more potassium. Before the industrial revolution, potash was created from burned plant material. The ashes were gathered in a bucket and leached. The resultant substance left after evaporation — a white powder — was called potash. Currently potash comes from ancient seabeds that have left

potassium chloride and sodium chloride deposits deep in the earth. Fertilizer companies use this mined material in their products. At the end of the presentation, Egbert, Chapman and Jones guided the audience through pH testing their soil samples. The Elstons found out they probably need to add nitrogen to their soil. They hope the compost they bought from the FFA chapter does the trick. “I bought a pickup load,” said Bob.

stand they must continue to fund for inflation going forward as the voters required by approving Prop 301. After his presentation, the questions started. The first few had to do with how the Arizona Permanent Land Endowment Trust Fund began. “When the U.S. recognized us as a state, it gave us lands to fund education,” said Shane. That prompted questions as to whether the federal government has a say in the management of the lands or funds. “There is a difference between the federal lands and the state lands,” said Shane. He explained Arizona owns and manages the state lands and doesn’t need approval from the federal government. “State lands are their own category,” said Shane. “The rule of the sales of those lands states the state land trust must show that

During the recession, lawmakers decided not to fund inflation increases for schools despite a requirement to do so included in a 2001 voter-approved initiative. To force the reinstatement of the inflation payments, educators took the Legislature to court. The Legislature lost. The courts then ordered the state government to do two things — pay the amount schools were owed and then pay the inflation adjustments going forward. “This battle has been going on for five years,” said Shane. “We need to address this issue so we can keep moving forward to fund education in Arizona.” Shane explained that Prop 123 only solves the first part of the problem, however. “It is a first step in funding education in Arizona,” he said. He said the legislators under-

butions from that cash account from the current limit of 2.5 percent to 6.9 percent for the next decade. “Last year, the trust grew by 12 percent,” said Shane. In such a year, the value of the cash account would have grown by 5 percent, even after taking out the increased distributions. However, if the rate of increase in the value of the land trust fell below 7 percent — or even declined — then the 6.9 percent withdrawal would begin to decrease the value of the trust. Shane assured the audience that the land trust would not have to irresponsibly sell large chunks of lands to continue to make the distributions required by Proposition 123. The cash account is currently valued at about $5.2 billion, while Proposition 123 would result in the payout of $3.5 billion over 10 years — 40 percent of it from the state’s general fund. Another set of questions had to do with any limitations on how schools spend the money from Prop 123. Shane said the money will go to the districts with no strings attached so local school

they got the highest value they can get. You can ask anybody who wants to buy state lands, it is a very difficult process.” Another audience member wondered if the land sold could get into foreign countries’ hands. “I’m kinda concerned who we are allowing to buy your and my lands? Any checks and balances there? I don’t want it to go to China,” said a member of the audience. Shane replied that on the Arizona State Land Department website, (https://land.az.gov) anyone can see who’s buying state lands. “Go to the website, we have been very good stewards,” he said. “It’s not just selling off lands willy nilly.” Shane explained the Arizona Permanent Land Endowment Trust Fund has $70 billion worth of land available to fund the trust — plenty to keep the trust growing even if extra is taken because of Prop 123. The cash account from past sales and leases amounts to a little more than $5 billion. Proposition 123 would allow the state to increase distri-

boards could decide how best to spend the money according to need. Payson Unified School District Superintendent Greg Wyman has previously said the district would likely get an extra $500,000 annually if Proposition 123 passes. The measure would provide about $300 per student — a roughly 10 percent increase in state support. “This is going to go into base level,” said Shane. “This is how the voters say they want it to go into the schools.” That prompted Jim Muhr to voice concerns about whether districts would end up spending the money on administration

“It could go to administration — that is terrible,” said Muhr. “If you’re not controlling it any better than this, you’ve got it wrong.” In the end, however, Muhr said he approved of Proposition 123, despite the lack of control over where the funds would go. “I like 123. I like the premise of 123. I like what Prop 123 will do for the schools,” said Muhr. “There is probably a tremendous amount of mismanagement (at the schools) from the teachers up through to administration. They have never been in private business. I will listen to the cons and then make up my mind. When I saw this I said it was great.”

Payson council honors community volunteers by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

The council honored dozens of volunteers Thursday and got updates on several town improvement projects at a regularly scheduled meeting. With the third week of April celebrated as International Volunteer Week, the council handed out proclamations to 26 local service groups to mark National Volunteer Week. Groups ranged from police volunteers to Community Bridges and Tonto Rim Search and Rescue. This is the 43rd annual celebration of volunteers. In the

proclamation, the council noted that volunteering is “one of the noblest of human endeavors.” Also at the meeting, the council learned the town is currently accepting bids from contractors to improve North Manzanita Drive, behind the Big Lots shopping center to East Park Drive. LaRon Garrett, town manager, said the town will award a contract around the end of May and depending on the weather, the project could be complete by the Fourth of July. The town also approved an agreement with McCauley Construction, Inc. to complete drainage work at the airport. The project is grant funded.

Hospice volunteers celebrate a life in the shadow of death by

Teresa McQuerrey

roundup staff reporter

Hospice is about living, not dying. Hospice Compassus in Payson wants residents in their service area to know the services provided contribute to the quality of life. It serves residents from Tonto Basin to Happy Jack and out to Forest Lakes. The volunteers with Hospice Compassus are a big part of that quality of life service. The administration and staff honored them April 13. Gathered on the back patio at Hospice House on Mud Springs Road, Janine Nielson quizzed the group “en masse” on their backgrounds as an icebreaker, who coordinates the volunteers. Most come from other states, only a few were only children; many had grandparents who immigrated to the U.S.; and quite a few are veterans. Nineteen volunteers attended the banquet and between them they have served with Hospice for more than 50 years. There are 25 active volunteers and those not attending have an additional 36 combined years of service. Joyce Walters was the volunteer attending with the longest service — 11 years; a close “second” in tenure was John Trask, who has been working with Hospice for 10 years. Walters became a volunteer a couple of years following her husband’s death. He had been a Hospice patient before passing. “Hospice helped us out a lot,” she said, so she decided to help them. Volunteers primarily do home visits to patients, but others help at Hospice House with office work and visiting the In-Patient Unit (IPU) clients. Walters volunteered while still teaching at Julia Randall Elementary, but once she retired she became more active. She did home visits for a number of years, but now she confines her visits to the IPU. “They have wonderful stories to tell, ” she said of the patients she visits. She said Hospice needs more

Teresa McQuerrey/Roundup

Staff members of Hospice Compassus recently honored 19 volunteers who have contributed a total of 50 years of service to ensure no one need die alone. Hospice Compassus has a total of 25 volunteers, but always needs more help. volunteers, adding, “So many people are so lonely.” Walters said to be a volunteer with Hospice you have to really want to do it. “You need to care about people and be a good listener. She recommends being a volunteer though, “This is the place you want to be — everyone is so kind and good.” Trask joined Hospice as a volunteer because someone he knew recommended it. He was told he’d have a lot of fun. “It is satisfying to know you can make someone’s day and give their caregiver a break,” he said. Trask said volunteers don’t need any particular skills, except to be a good listener and able to carry on a conversation. He said doing home visits you just spend time with the person doing whatever they want. “One of mine liked to do cross-

words, so that’s what we did,” he said. Trask is a snowbird — living in Rim Country from October to May and then returning to New England for the summers. He urges anyone with an interest in helping the quality of life of Hospice patients to volunteer. “You will find helping very rewarding,” he said. Hospice Compassus provides extended training for its volunteers before they begin working with patients or helping at Hospice House. The next training will probably not be until the fall, according to Nielson, but anyone wanting more information can get in touch with her at any time. Hospice care is officially for people with a diagnosis giving them six months or less to live, the service provided, both in quality and quantity, can result

in so much improvement in a client’s health, they “graduate” or leave the program. A team approach is used in providing the care. Numerous individuals serve clients — and their families. A team can include the hospice medical director, the client’s primary care provider, experienced nurses with varying degrees of training — from RNs to CNAs, social workers and therapists, Hospice aides, chaplains and bereavement counselors and the trained volunteers. Hospice provides for the whole patient — medically, emotionally, socially and spiritually. The care can also include help around the house, shopping and other errands, even assistance taking care of bill paying. The trained clinical teams (doctors, nurses, therapists, etc.) create plans of care designed specifically for each patient and their loved ones to enhance com-

fort and quality of life. Creating a quality of life at the end of life is at the heart of the work of Hospice Compassus. The care provided confirms the belief that it is important to make every moment of life as meaningful as possible, from the first days of a life-limiting illness to the last. Hospice Compassus provides services to relieve symptoms, manage pain and give emotional and spiritual support. Diagnoses commonly associated with Hospice care include: cancer, cardiovascular disease, Alz heimer’s disease, respiratory disease, liver/renal disease, AIDS/ HIV, adult failure to thrive, neurological disease, stroke or coma. Hospice appropriate individuals may exhibit some or all of the following: frequent hospitalizations, progressive weight loss, deteriorating mental abilities, recurrent infections, and specific

decline in condition. The care can be provided in the patient’s home, the home of a friend or relative, assisted living facility, nursing home and if medically necessary, to hospitalized individuals. Hospice has been available in the Rim Country for more than 20 years. Referrals for Hospice care can come from the patients themselves, families, friends, health care professionals and spiritual counselors. Mary Jane Rogers, director of Hospice Compassus, said anyone with a concern about someone’s need for care can call and the staff will handle getting the necessary orders from the individual’s primary care provider. Hospice service is fully covered by both Medicare and Medicaid and many insurance plans. To learn more about Hospice Compassus services or volunteering, call 928-472-6340.

Lorraine Cline Poker Run gearing up to do good by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

Tradition, family and caring for the community lie at the heart of the Lorraine Cline Memorial Poker Run. Started eight years ago to honor her grandmother Lorraine Cline, Laci Sopeland continues the legacy passed down by her

ancestors to support and care for the community through the fundraiser. “We’re really invested in the community,” said Sopeland. “That is why we wanted to create the Lorraine Cline Memorial Poker Run.” The Poker Run is a fun offroad vehicle drive through country Sopeland’s family has run

In past years, hundreds have participated in the Lorraine Cline Poker Run, which raises money for local families affected by cancer.

cattle on for seven generations — Tonto Basin and the Sierra Ancha mountains. Throughout the trip, stops along the way allow “players” to draw for cards to complete a seven-card stud game. The top three hands receive a payout at the end. Sopeland said the event has become so popular, the organization was able to help more than 30 people last year with up to $3,000 apiece to cover any number of costs that occur due to the consequences of cancer. She’s surprised at the amount of money the Poker Run generates, not only through the ride, but the Friday night dinner, Polaris raffle and silent auction. Uniquely, all funds remain in Gila County. Sopeland knows well the struggles of a family going through cancer as her grandmother died of lung cancer after a short intense battle. “Sometimes I can’t believe how many families are affected by cancer,” she said. All of the requests for support come from a family member or close friend. “A lot of it’s word of mouth,” said Sopeland. “It’s never I need help — which I find humbling and sweet.” This past year, Sopeland learned a young man, barely into his 30s and already struck with cancer, had a travel trailer he parked near the hospital so he could take his treatments and stay there to be ready for treatments the next day. Sopeland found out that during one of the winter storms, his hot water heater went out and so he ended up taking cold showers. She worked with her group and they got him a hotel room. “We paid for three weeks for him to have a floor room with a refrigerator and microwave that was easy to access,” she said. “I look at things differently. I look at the little things now, (such as) you’re going to need a room that is easy.”

Another person in Globe ended up with two different kinds of cancer, while living with Down syndrome on top of it all. “We got wind of that and to help we gave them money to put towards medical bills,” said Sopeland. She said there are never any strings attached to the donation because every person’s needs are different. This year, in order to keep lines down the morning of the Run, the organization has a website set up

to take pre-registrations. www. lcmemorialfund.com. As they started a couple of years ago, the group will release balloons on Saturday with the names of those they know have lost the battle with cancer. This year, to honor Macky’s Grill owner Greg Day’s long battle with cancer, Sopeland said the group would make a Kelly green hat. “It’s just a little thing to say please know we support you,” she said.

High school students rate as Heroes of Education A group of Payson High School students which included Sandra Lewinson, Arissa Paulson, Rebecca Carr, Mackenzie Mann, Taryn North, Madeline Goldman and Ruben Estrada received the HERO of Education award for regularly helping Rim Country Middle School students with their studies. Payson School Board president Barbara Underwood presented those in attendance with certificates. “These students have joined us every day to help with tutoring,” said Greg Wyman, PUSD superintendent, of the reason for honoring the students. So beloved are the high school tutors that RCMS students are disappointed once they don’t need help anymore. Wyman said the high school students, “provide a role model to all of our RCMS students.”

Probation in controversial ammo selling case WEATHERREPORT From page 1A

did not take the stand. The jury found Sopeland not guilty of theft or trafficking stolen HPR ammunition, but found that he was guilty of fraudulent schemes and artifices. “The state argued, and the jury apparently believed, that defendant was fraudulently selling scrap or otherwise subpar HPR ammunition as new retail quality,” wrote Scales in a ruling. After the trial, Lloyd asked Scales for an acquittal or a new trial. Scales denied the requests, but the Lloyd Law Firm asked Scales to reconsider. Scales denied the request again and set sentencing. Then Lloyd called for an evidentiary hearing after several jurors claimed juror misconduct and after Lloyd learned the GCAO may have not disclosed all the evidence. On March 11, Scales heard from jurors Charles Meisenheimer and Steven Adler, Payson Police Department evidence custodian Todd Bramlet, Det. Kenny Wortman with the GCAO and Karl Mann, a private detective Sopeland hired. Meisenheimer said during deliberations, one juror said he had picked up a copy of the Roundup and read an article relating to the case. “Did he say anything about what he had read?” counsel asked. “No, sir, not that I remember. I was really in a state of shock. And when he said that, I was going, ‘Oh, my God,’ you know, because, like I said, we were instructed. This was a trial,” Meisenheimer said. Another juror, Meisenheimer testified, used his phone during deliberations. He said the man was overheard discussing work. Prosecutor Duncan Rose asked Meisenheimer if he heard that juror discuss the case while on the phone and Meisenheimer said no. Scales asked Meisenheimer if the juror’s conduct had any bearing on his verdict. He said it did not. Adler testified he felt pressured to come to a verdict quickly. Rose asked Adler if anyone had forced him to check guilty. “Nobody forced me, no,” Adler said. Lloyd did not call the juror who reportedly read the newspaper or the juror who made a phone call during deliberations to testify.

Bramlet testified another evidence custodian had told him about a man (not Sopeland) selling HPR ammunition at the local shooting range. Bramlet gave prosecutors this information. Bramlet testified it is not illegal to buy and sell ammunition and there was no indication that the ammunition being sold at the shooting range was “subpar.” Wortman testified he never talked to Bramlet about someone selling HPR ammo at the range. Lloyd argued Sopeland was due a new trial because of juror misconduct and the prosecution failing to reveal information about someone selling HPR ammo at the range. Rose said Lloyd was on a “witch hunt.” “That’s looking for something that’s not there,” he said. Rose said the jurors were just having “buyer’s remorse” and felt bad for convicting Sopeland. He said Lloyd had produced no evidence supporting the claims. “And what Mr. Lloyd put forward in this case is hearsay. And these two individuals are not even saying that they saw someone else with the paper. They are saying that someone else told them that he may have purchased or seen a paper that discussed this case,” said Matthew Greve, deputy county attorney. Furthermore, prosecutors argued Sopeland’s motion for a new trial was untimely

because it occurred 86 days after the verdict. In his ruling, Scales said, “it is clear that defendant’s motion is untimely.” He then denied Sopeland’s motion for a new trial. In his decision, Scales elaborated, that based on what Meisenheimer and Adler had testified to, he would find that the jury acted improperly and violated his court orders. However, the newspaper article in question and the juror who reportedly read the paper were absent from the hearing. “Here, defendant did not present the court with any affidavit or subpoena either of the jurors accused of misconduct, and neither juror testified at the hearing. Likewise, defendant did not produce any newspaper articles from the period surrounding the trial. Without the testimony of G.K. or the newspaper articles at issue, defendant is inviting the court to speculate about possible worst-case scenarios rather than considering evidence,” Scales wrote. Regarding the information that someone was selling HPR ammo at the range, Scales said it is a “perfectly reasonable and legal thing to do.” He said there is no evidence this person was selling subpar ammo, sold ammo to Sopeland’s “victims” or undermined the credibility of the state’s witnesses. Sopeland did not say anything at Wednesday’s sentencing.

Singing praises of PES music teacher Payson Elementary School Principal Gail Milton recognized Corinne Vandenberg, PES music teacher, for her dedication to the students. Vandenberg and three students responded with a song about reading. Milton said Vandenberg has a varied background besides her music training, which she shares with the school. “She asked what the teachers are teaching in social studies,” said Milton, “she told me, ‘I have these holes in my schedule, would you like me to do intervention during those times?’ I said of course!”

Sanchez resigns as boys hoops coach by

Keith Morris

roundup sports editor

Keith Morris/Roundup

Joe Sanchez is stepping down after five seasons as Payson’s varsity boys basketball head coach.

After watching Payson High’s varsity boys basketball team make four head coaching changes in the previous seven seasons, Joe Sanchez hoped to bring some consistency to the program when he took over as the Longhorns head coach before the 2011-12 season. He did that. But now, after five seasons, he said it’s time to walk away. Sanchez resigned as Payson’s head coach last week. “I prayed about it with my family after the season and I just want to spend time with my family,” he said. “I missed a lot of stuff with my son.” He said its just time to let someone else see what they can do with the program after leading the Longhorns to a 9-20 record this past season and a combined 49-94 (.343) mark in five years at the helm, according to MaxPreps.com. Payson suffered through four consecutive losing campaigns after going 16-13 in Sanchez’s first year on the job in 2011-12. They qualified for the Division 3 state

“I wanted to try to build some consistency. But I have enough pride to say, ‘we tried it for five years and we weren’t as successful as we wanted to be,’ and I feel like the boys need to hear from somebody else.” Joe Sanchez

tournament that year but lost in the first round and haven’t qualified again. “I was coaching freshmen and JV and I agreed to do this because before me it was a lot of one-season head coaches,” Sanchez said. “So I wanted to try to build some consistency. But I have enough pride to say, ‘we tried it for five years and we weren’t as successful as we wanted to be,’ and I feel like the boys need to hear from somebody else.” The Longhorns posted four consecu-

tive winning seasons before going 19-35 in two seasons under Jared Swanson before Sanchez took over, according to MaxPreps. They were 23-9 and lost in the Class 3A Finals under Chuck Hardt in 2006-07 and reached the 3A final again the next season before losing to Estrella Foothills and finishing 24-7 under Kenny Hayes. The Longhorns haven’t won a state tournament game since 2008-09 when they beat Sedona Red Rock in the first round of the 3A tournament before losing in the second round. They went 19-11 that season under Hayes, who left after that campaign. Sanchez has another year remaining in his grant position as the cohort coordinator at both the high school Rim Country Middle School. He’s engaged to be married and plans to remain in Payson. He’s willing to help the next head coach if asked. “Payson’s my home,” he said. “I love it here. I’ll be at every single basketball game and support whoever the new head coach is. After taking a couple of years off, I would love to get back involved at the middle school.”

He said he couldn’t have asked for better players or parents. “It was a tough decision because I have been so blessed with great basketball players, men of character, and the parents have been amazing,” Sanchez said. “But the family and I decided this is what’s best.” First-year Payson High athletic director Barry Cromer said Sanchez will be missed. “I want to thank Joe for the effort he’s given the program the last five years,” Cromer said. “I know it was a very tough decision for him but he wants to spend more time with his family.” Cromer said the position will be posted on both the district and Arizona Interscholastic Association websites and he hopes to have a new coach in place by the middle of May. He said they hope to hire someone who’ll be here for years. “We don’t want this to be a one-anddone situation,” Cromer said. “We want them to build a tradition here. We’d like to find the stability. That’ll play a big role in the decision about who the next coach is going to be.”

Horns pummel Sabercats Collect 13 hits in 14-1 in seventh straight win Payson’s softball team continued its winning ways with a 14-1 five-inning thumping of visiting Scottsdale Saguaro Sabercats 14-1 on Monday, April 11. The Longhorns pounded out 13 hits in winning their seventh consecutive power points game, improving to 8-3 after starting the year 1-3. Becky Bauer went 3-for-4 with two doubles, three RBIs, four stolen bases and three runs. Kalea Smith was 3-for-3 and drove in a run.

Alarming minority HS dropout rates by

Adriana Espinosa

arizona sonora news service

Native American students have the lowest graduation rate in Arizona and nationally, according to data from the 20122013 school year. About 70 percent of American Indian/Alaskan Native students graduated from a fouryear high school in 2012-13 in the United States, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. Asian/ Pacific Islanders graduated at 89 percent, followed by Anglos (87), Hispanics (75) and AfricanAmericans (71). Only 61 percent of American Indian/Alaskan Native students graduated from a four-year Arizona public high school in 2012-13 school year, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. Asian/Pacific Islanders came in at 84 percent, followed by Anglos (83), African-Americans (70) and Hispanics (69). The lower economic status of many Native Americans can play a part in the lack of academic success, said Keith James, department head of the American Indian Studies department at the University of Arizona. Pregnancy, substance abuse and household issues are contributing factors to dropout rates within the Native American student population at Sunnyside

Unified School District, said Kevin Fortuin, director of the district’s Native American Education Program. “Substance abuse and household issues become the reason why students stay in school, but it can also be a reason to drop out of school,” Fortuin said. While education and graduation rates do vary by Native American populations throughout the country and within different tribal groups, James said that intergenerational trauma may also be a contributing factor to the Native American population’s low academic success rates. According to James, a large percent of the Native American community went through a time when people were taken from their native land to boarding house style homes and robbed of and often punished for practicing their cultural, lifestyle and social norms. This occurred on Canadian American Indian land up until the 1970s and in the United States until the 1950s, James said. “Think of the boarding schools ending in the 1950s, that would be my parents,” James said. “They were traumatized by their experience and they don’t have a history of growing up in a family so they don’t know how to raise children or deal with people.”

Library volunteers hailed as Heroes of Education The Julia Randall Elementary School library volunteers Ila Tenney and Nancy Gartner received the HERO of Education award from the Payson Unified School District on April 11. Superintendent Greg Wyman told the PUSD board the two women have hundreds of volunteer hours between the two of them. “Both of these two ladies have over 300 volunteer hours in the JRE library,” he said. Tenney has put countless hours cataloging books into the computer system while Garter took 30 boxes of books and organized them. She also uncataloged old and outdated books and made reading materials easier to access. “These are the quiet things these ladies do every day at JRE,” said Wyman.

Rim Lakes, Forest Road 300 open to visitors The Rim Lakes Recreation Area, including Forest Road (FR) 300 (the Rim Road) and all adjacent roads, have opened for the 2016 recreation season, according to the ApacheSitgreaves National Forest. This opening includes the Woods Canyon Lake Store/ Marina and access to Bear Canyon Lake. However, FR 300 will remain closed at the Coconino National Forest boundary until further notice, which means access to Knoll Lake is not yet available. Developed (fee-for-use) campgrounds will remain closed until Friday, April 29, but dispersed camping opportunities are available across the district. No water or other facilities are available in dispersed areas. The Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests

are “Pack-it-In, Pack-it-Out.” The Forest Service asks campers to leave a clean campsite during their stay and remove all evidence of their visit when they depart. Leaving trash in the forest is illegal, unsightly and dangerous to wildlife. Although winter on the Rim has been mild and drier than anticipated, it is not unusual to have significant snowfall through the months of April and May. Forest visitors should come prepared for changing weather conditions. Check the weather forecast before leaving home, and tell friends and family where you plan to visit and when you plan to return. Plan ahead with extra clothing, blankets, food, water and a cellphone. Roads may be muddy and impassable at any time of the year, and

four-wheel drive vehicles are recommended. Even when road surfaces are dry, shoulders and dispersed campsites may still be saturated and muddy. Please check ground conditions before leaving developed roads and avoid creating ruts and other resource damage. Be mindful of campfires. More than 90 percent of wildfires are started by a careless human act. Forest visitors must have a plan for extinguishing a campfire before starting one. The average campfire requires 5 to 10 gallons of water and a shovel to completely extinguish. Remember, as the summer approaches, temperatures rise, the forest dries out, the smallest spark can quickly become a catastrophic wildfire.

I am a ball of energy. I love playing! I could go all day. It would be nice to run around and have someone teach me awesome tricks. I bet I could do it. My goal is to uplift your day and smother you with affection. I only ask for the same in return. Since my name is pretty fitting, I am the “man” in charge; I will share the role however. Going on long walks or splashing around in water sounds so relaxing. Do you think you could keep up with a youngster like me? GIZMO

Gizmo is quiet and somewhat shy. She came from a hoarding situation in Prescott and hasn’t had a lot of socialization. Gizmo can be very affectionate and likes to meow. It may take a little coaxing but this girl sure knows how to get her motor going. Once she feels comfortable with you, she will be in your lap asking for attention. Bargain Buys

After leaving the Crimson Tide, Nathan went on to become the Miami Dolphin’s star running back in Super Bowl XVII and XIX. Rutledge played 14 seasons in the NFL and was the Arizona Cardinals’ quarterback coach during the team’s 2008 Super Bowl run. Today, Rutledge is the head football coach at Valley Christian High School in Chandler and Nathan is a court bailiff who in 2015 finally lived up to his promise to Bear Bryant by returning to Alabama and earning his college degree. While Woodlawn is sometimes disappointingly fuzzy about the racial tensions in the 1970s Deep South, it is a stirring tale about faith and football. One reviewer called the movie, “Equal parts ‘Remember the Titans’ and revivalist tent meeting.” And that’s a good mix. Friends of Library meet

Geologist and photographer Greg McKelvey will present “Wildlife Photography of Costa Rica” during a Friends of Pine Library meeting set for 1 p.m., Monday, April 25 in the library activity center. McKelvey has recently had features published in the Payson Roundup including one entitled “Missing Puzzle Piece” which focuses on Meteor Crater. He is also active in a Payson Civil Air Patrol unit and the Rim Country Camera Club. The community is invited to the meeting and refreshments will be served. Rosie fishing heats up

A pair of Oregon-based wildland firefighters were among the hundreds who battled the devastating 1990 Dude Fire east of Pine. The Firewise Festival April 30 will shed information on how to avoid another such ravaging fire. In the emotionally driven movie’s first few minutes, we learn Woodlawn was a white high school in Birmingham, Ala. that in the mid-1970s, was forced to accept 500 black students bused in from poorer parts of the city. Because the movie is about a difficult time in American history, is based on real life events and centers on a high school football team whose players have the courage, passion and faith to unite a school and city torn by racial tension, wife, Kay and I enjoyed it. Early in the movie, Woodlawn Colonels football coach Tandy Gerelds seems unprepared to handle some team members’ bigotry and the anger that

exists on the school’s campus. But then he allows an outsider, who has been influenced by the teachings of Billy Graham, to speak to his players. The stranger’s message of hope and love leads to a spiritual awakening that inspires the team including star running back Tony Nathan and the coach. Longtime football fans will remember Nathan as a standout running back for legendary Coach Bear Bryant at Alabama. During Nathan’s stint at Alabama, the team is quarterbacked by Jeff Rutledge who played on Woodlawn’s rival team and was among those influenced by the spiritual revival going on at Woodlawn.

The good news from Arizona fishing guru and Rim Country Custom Rods owner Jim Goughnour is that both bass and crappie fishing at Roosevelt Lake continue to be good and summer trout stockings in lakes and streams have started. Goughnour predicts spawning activity on Roosevelt will continue through May and perhaps into early June. Which means, fishing should be good, especially in shallow waters. Reports from Roosevelt are that some anglers who practice catch and release have caught up to 50 bass in a day. Crappie can also be found in the shallower waters and some anglers have reported catching up to 30 a day. Time to head for Rosie. Show and sale

“The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.”

Amazing how little we know about things in the very recent past This column had its birth in a thought that passed through my mind when I was using some hydrogen peroxide to clean a cut on a fingertip. It was a nasty cut I earned by reaching around back of the refrigerator to retrieve something and catching my finger on a sharp piece of bent metal. Did a nice job on your turn my nail too. However, we have lots of great resources these days, things that can handle even the dumbest things we do. A little peroxide, a Band-Aid®, some antibiotic cream and time spent sopping up a trail of blood drops did the trick Tom Garrett in no time. As I was pouring peroxide on the fairly deep cut to make sure it was well cleaned out I remembered something I read years ago in “Return from the River Quai,” a book about British soldiers captured in Singapore and held prisoner in the jungles by the Japanese. A British doctor who had seen too many men die of small cuts or scratches that became deadly infections remarked that if he had only had a few bottles of peroxide he could have saved many lives. After bandaging the cut I spent a few minutes trimming the fingernail with a handy nail clipper, and I couldn’t help thinking what a

pleasure it was having such a handy little tool to do the job. The two thoughts combined — the one about the nail file, and the one about effectiveness of something like peroxide — and before I knew it I was thinking to myself how lucky we are today and how sad it was that people who lived just a 100 years ago had so few of the things we have. Mind you, I wasn’t thinking of the great gains we’ve made in medicine, communication, and other things. I was just thinking about small, handy, little things like those nail clippers. Things that really do make our lives easier, don’t they? “Hm-m-m-m,” I said to myself, picturing a world without the handy little gadgets we have right around the house, “That would make an interesting column, wouldn’t it?” And so I made a list of things I thought our not-so-distant ancestors of a 100 years ago in 1916 didn’t have. I first wrote down 20 items, but quickly pared the list down to 14: nail clippers, scissors, hand drills, tweezers, batteries, Scotch™ tape, zippers, sandpaper, pencils, wire nails, safety pins, thumbtacks, Band-Aids® and pocket combs. Let me tell you something, Johnny. I have been wrong in my life, but I had never been THAT wrong before. However, I was SO wrong that it makes a much more interesting column than the one I had in mind. So read on if you want a good belly laugh — on me.

I decided that four more items had to go. The hand drill came off the list because a bit and brace, while slower than an electric drill, certainly gets the job done. Batteries came off the list because I remembered that it was Benjamin Franklin who gave them the name “battery,” which in military terms means several items — cannons for example — working together. Even though I really meant dry cell batteries his “batteries” of Leyden jars did roughly the same job, so I crossed them off. And I took Scotch™ tape and Band-Aids® off the list because they didn’t seem to fit in with the other things, which were all more or less mechanical. That left 10 items: “thumbtacks, nail clippers, wire nails, safety pins, zippers, scissors, sandpaper, pencils, tweezers, and pocket combs.” Please get ready to crack up as I tell you the results of 15 minutes spent digging around in an online encyclopedia: Thumbtacks? I didn’t miss by too much with this one. It was more or less invented in 1900 by Edwin Moore who invented the “push-pin” in 1900, but it was refined in 1904 by German clockmaker Johann Kirsten who invented flat-headed thumb tacks for use with drawings. But you ain’t seen nothin yet. Wait till next week!

There is good news on the progress of the 1970 Labor Day Flood Memorial. Back in September of 2013 Christopher Creek hosted the first gathering of families and witnesses to the tragic catastrophe. Marshall Trimble hosted that event and the raw emotion that was evident from those who spoke that day led to the fund to construct a monument. More information is forthcoming as the news evolves. Last Thursday, Lisa Rassmusen informed us of the passing of her husband, Paul. The couple had moved to Montana from the Valley several years ago and still has a cabin here on Columbine Road. Paul was a retired member of law enforcement and his passing saddens us all. Down at the Spur in Star Valley well in excess of 100 folks gathered to say goodbye to Ellen McCoy last Saturday. Daughter Kathy did a fine

On a lighter note, we don’t often acknowledge birthdays but, Brooklyn, daughter of Josh and Samone Flores from the Landmark, celebrated her first last Saturday evening. Stories of big fish continue to circulate around town and at a steak fry up at Rod Beale’s cabin in See Canyon last Saturday evening, we were admonished to not divulge the location of these monsters, as they described them! Last week’s request for tag lines for Christopher elicited some responses including one from my San Diego cousin, Scott, who suggested “Magic Mountain.” It should be noted that as a young man he worked at Disneyland. It has come to light that several more folks were April Fooled by the story of plugging See Spring and stopping the flow of the creek.

April 19 is the big day for Roxanne Martin of Tonto Village along with Rick and Theresa Meeker’s daughter, Angela Meeker Glass.

April 22 is my two oldest daughters Eileen Porter and Joanne Harper’s birthday. They were born on the same day, two years apart. I remember going for a pregnancy check-up for Eileen and I was in a hurry because I had a birthday party planned for Joanne, but the doctor had other ideas, he told me to go to the hospital right then and there, and I told him I couldn’t because I had planned a birthday party for my first born. He said, “What better gift than getting a new sister or brother as a birthday present?” So, Eileen was born four hours later, and poor Joanne never did get that birthday party that year. We made up for it the next year though with two birthday cakes and all the neighborhood kids and cousins in attendance. Happy birthday to Angela, Roxanne, Joanne and Eileen. A big day

April 22 is significant this year because not only is it our daughters’ birthdays, but it is Earth Day, Passover and a full moon. What a day! Reminder: Don’t forget the Women’s Wellness Forum on Saturday, April 23 at the Mazatzal Hotel & Casino. The forum starts early, at 8 a.m.; hope to see you there. I have been going to this event for many years and I have always come away with a wealth of information. Don’t miss it! Hurry and get signed up now before the hall fills up. Go to the MHA Foundation office on 308 E. Aero Drive. That’s all folks for this week; see you next week, same time, same place, if the creek don’t rise.

Characters Under the Rim – Julia Viola Randall, Part 1 On Aug. 8, 1899 a baby girl blessed the family of George and Rose Randall. She was given the name Julia after her paternal grandmother and an aunt. The Randalls lived in Denver, Colo., where George was a mining superintendent. This was his second marriage, and also in the home were two children by his former marriage, Rowe A. Randall, age 27, and Ace E. Randall, nicknamed Cece, age 24. [1] In November 1901, when Julia was just 28 months old, George accepted an invitation to be superintendent of the Grand Prize Mine on Webber Creek, Gila County, Ariz. The family moved except for Rowe who had become a local portrait photographer and remained in Colorado.

it because they thought I should get into something more stable, something I could make living at.” [3] To become a teacher seemed natural since her mother had been a teacher. Also May Herron, a close family friend, influenced Julia to follow that vocation. By the age of 15 she had completed the schooling Payson had to offer and she went to Flagstaff, where she went on to the Normal School (later to become Northern Arizona University). On that first trip to Flagstaff her mother accompanied her in the wagon, but while they were there word came that her father, George Randall had suffered a stroke that would leave him crippled for his remaining years of life.

in Star Valley. During her tenure there she boarded with the Andrew Ogilvie family (parents of Payson’s well known “Weather Lady” Anna Mae Deming). “They gave me a little white horse,” she reported, “that I rode to Payson every weekend. He’d stand still while I picked grapes along the way.” Anna Mae Deming recalled that the horse had “the revolting name of Goo-Goo.” Miss Julia never married, and commented with a wry smile, “I don’t know whether I never found the right man or the right man never found me, but the effect is still the same.” Nevertheless her “children” were legion after

teaching three successive generations of children. [1] George had served as a private in the Union army during the Civil War, and his son Rowe served during World War I. [2] Cece would marry W.W. (aka Wash) Gibson and lived on the Gibson ranch in Round Valley. He already had two sons, and he and Cece would have a son they named after her brother (spelled differently) Roe Gibson. The name soon became Ron. [3] From an interview with Diane Palm in February 1986 for a social studies report. [4] George Randall, J.P., died in 1920 at the age of 73.
