The Tonto Rim Search and Rescue volunteers might soon have to adopt a new motto: On the road again.

The crack search and rescue team got called out of the area for the second week in a row, this time to look for a missing hiker near Tucson.

The week before, volunteers from TRSAR helped find a Tucson woman lost on the White Mountain Apache Reservation.

That earlier search was capped by the joyous discovery of Ann Rodgers, who survived nine days when she found herself lost near Cibecue after running out of gas.

Unfortunately, this weekend’s search offered a grim outcome.

Searchers found Mauricio Carreon-Maltos, 28, dead Friday night, a week after he messaged his family he was going for a hike in Sabino Canyon, a popular hiking spot in east Tucson, according to Tucson News Now. Volunteers from the Southern Arizona Rescue Association logged more than 1,000 hours searching for Carreon-Maltos, the news site quoted a SARA spokesperson.

On Thursday, the Pima County Sheriff’s Office requested the assistance of Tonto Rim Search and Rescue.

TRSAR Commander Bill Pitterle said he and several trained volunteers from Payson drove to Tucson to help for the search in the Santa

The state’s budget projections continue to brighten, but lawmakers draft budget plans generally envision less spending than even Gov. Doug Ducey’s stringent plan.

Gov. Ducey has promised added tax cuts in a hold-the-line budget, as the state’s surplus continues to rise. The governor’s plan included a $30 million, unspecified tax cut for the upcoming fiscal year.

Meanwhile, a group of economists estimates the state is already losing $350 million annually as a result of corporate tax cuts approved See State budget, page 9A

By 11 a.m. on Saturday, the Jakes Corner Bar didn’t have a bar stool available and the tables inside had just about filled up.

Outside, the barbecue was stoked — fixin’s for burgers ready to go.

Junction 87 arrived and started to lug in equipment.

The horses for the stagecoach munched on one last bit of hay before getting harnessed to give riders a 20-minute tour of the area.

Everything was ready to celebrate the third day of the 100th birthday bash of Jakes Corner, which has catered to the tired, weary and thirsty for a century.

Started in 1916 as a stagecoach stop on Annie Hardt’s ranch, Jakes Corner served travelers when they needed a break to wait out the flooding of the Salt River which made passage to Globe impossible.

Hardt used to leave out boxes of fruits and vegetables. Travelers would leave change in the box to

Jakes Corner Bar held a blow-out birthday bash this weekend, recalling its century of dishing up hot food and cold drinks.

Election season has officially kicked off with candidates starting to pick up their packets for various open seats in the county.

In Payson, there are four open seats on the town council — mayor and three councilors.

So far, incumbent Councilor Richard Croy has taken out the paperwork to run. Vice Mayor Michael Hughes, Councilor John Wilson and Mayor Kenny Evans did not respond as of press time to say if they planned to run for re-election.

Community members that have taken out packets for council seats include Kim Chittick

The Roundup has launched a new app so readers can get up-to-the-minute news stories, photos and videos on cellphone screens, with a menu that divides content into categories modeled after the print edition.

Readers can navigate quickly through hundreds of stories that are organized under multiple sections, including news, sports, outdoors, opinion, events and other categories. Readers can also sign up for “Push alerts” to get breaking news bulletins.

Another feature allows users to submit photos, videos and news tips directly from their phone.

This equips members of the community to become part of our news-gathering team. Our reporters can’t be everywhere all the time, so the ability to send photos, videos and story ideas easily from a smartphone gives users the opportunity to become the newspaper’s eyes and ears across town.

Send your photos using the new app and then look for those images online and on Facebook and photo galleries on our website. Throughout the coming weeks, we’ll expand our video platform by adding more video clips to the stories we post online. We’d love to include reader-submitted videos to enhance our news and entertainment

Now, the bar has loyal locals as well as Valley regulars who can enjoy a cool drink and a delicious burger, fries or cowboy beans. The menu also has chicken burgers and beef stew to name just a couple of the offerings.

Basically, good old traditional bar food.

During this 100th birthday celebration, events didn’t start until noon, but early comers wanted to stake out a place to enjoy the festivities. Among those initial visitors, numerous biker clubs and a bunch of classic cars.

By noon, the parking lot had filled as visitors wandered around admiring the old buildings or trying to figure out why a chicken sat in a cage next to a board with numbers painted on.

Chicken bingo, explained one old-timer.

“First you feed the chicken a lot of food,” she said in a gravelly voice, eyes shaded by an ancient cowboy hat curled on every edge, “Then you put the chicken on the board and bet on where it will poop.”

The chicken had to eat a lot more before it would be ready to play.

Out front of the saloon, friends of owners Robin Heppler and her husband Jon Seay Sr. organized the sign ups for the stagecoach ride.

Little kids wandered by the stagecoach, looking up in awe and a touch of impatience as they had to wait until noon for the rides to start.

Nearby, locals wandered into the Jakes Corner General Store (the store is not affiliated with the bar). Owners Chad Barcom and Dan Jewell have stocked

their establishment with everything a hungry or broken down hunter, fisherman or camper would need, including snacks, groceries, hats, car batteries, cables and fuel. The store also has a coin-operated laundry for locals and visitors.

At noon, local residents Zoia Brouwer, her sister Xing and mother Lynette took a stagecoach ride.

Zoia’s feedback on the ride?

“It was rough,” she said.

She also said there was a bit

of dust.

By 1 p.m., Junction 87 had started and the dancers swirled out onto the dance floor to twirl and stomp to all the favorites.

The party went on into the evening and started up again on Sunday.

A fitting way to celebrate 100 years.

Candidate packets must be filed with the town clerk by June 1.

Candidates need to collect between 124 and 248 signatures and submit either a Political Committee Statement of Organization or a $500 Threshold Exemption Statement before accepting contributions, making expenditures, distributing campaign literature or circulating petitions.

If candidates plan to collect more than $500, they must create a political organization.

The town holds an all-mail ballot with early voting for the Aug. 30 primary starting Aug. 3.

To win, candidates need 50 percent of the

votes, plus 1.

Two years ago, Chris Higgins and Robert Lockhart both ran for Payson Town Council.

Neither man garnered enough votes to take the seat, so they faced off in a runoff in the general election. Higgins won out and is serving a four-year term. This year, the general election is Nov. 8 with early voting starting Oct. 12.

In Payson, the mayor serves two years and councilors serve four.

Elsewhere, Star Valley has three vacancies on the town council.

In Gila County, offices appearing on the ballot include three board of supervisor seats, county attorney, assessor, treasurer, school superintendent, recorder, sheriff, Superior Court judge Division I and precinct committeemen.

4A Tuesday, April 19, 2016

Low taxes vs. poor schools The budget looms.

This week, state lawmakers will grapple with the hard choices contained in Gov. Doug Ducey’s lean and mean budget proposal.

Certainly, lawmakers deserve great credit for a wrenching, painful, three-year struggle to cope with the crushing blow of the Great Recession. As the super-heated real-estate market imploded, state revenues dropped by onethird. The state’s deficit ballooned, rushing past $1 billion.

Lawmakers had nothing but tough choices to make.

So they made the call. They weathered the storm. They shouldered the responsibility.

And while we disagreed with some of their choices, you cannot doubt the pain and soul searching it took to crawl, bleeding and bruised across the broken glass scattered in their path.

Now, the state can finally stand upright, with a view to the future.

The financial projections have proved mercifully conservative, with a projected $660 million surplus plus $460 million in the state’s rainy day fund — providing a $1 billion cushion. Certainly, the state needs ample reserves to protect against another downturn. Although growth has resumed and state revenues have substantially recovered, we’re also in one of the longest periods of economic expansion since World War II. We’re overdue for a downturn.

Only adequate reserves and responsible budgeting will protect us from another wrenching cycle of boom-bust budgeting.

The governor’s proposed budget provides urgently needed new money for the Department of Child Safety.

Despite the previous infusions of new money, the department continues to struggle with a 50 percent caseworker turnover rate, a rising backlog of some 15,000 uninvestigated cases and the responsibility for 19,000 abused and neglected children in out-of-home care. We applaud Gov. Ducey for recognizing the need in his budget proposal.

However, the budget proposal doesn’t do nearly enough to repair the grievous damage done by years of cutbacks in state support for public education. Of course, we ought to tend to the needs of our children out of a simple, moral imperative. But if that’s not sufficiently convincing, consider a good school system the most basic of economic development plans.

But how can one reconcile the conflict between fiscal responsibility and the needs of our children?

We have to reconsider the obsession with tax cuts that has driven state policy for the past 20 years.

Certainly, we need to keep taxes as low as possible and government as efficient as possible. But when you have the worst-funded public schools in the country and have priced college out of the reach of the working class — low taxes cannot remain the top priority.

For instance, in the depths of the recession lawmakers voted a phased-in reduction in corporate taxes from almost 7 percent to 4.9 percent. The reduction is already costing the state some $350 million annually — about the same amount Proposition 123 will generate for schools if voters approve it in May. We understand the economic development argument in favor of low taxes. We’re competing with 50 other states to lure businesses and industries that can provide good jobs.

Low tax rates certainly help.

And yet, despite the big reduction in corporate taxes, Arizona’s recovery has actually lagged the national average. A study by researchers from the W.P. Carey School of Business estimates that cuts in the income tax and corporate tax rates in the past 20 years amount to $4 billion, as support for education has plunged.

We suspect that a reputation for poor schools will scare off far more corporations than a 1 percent reduction in corporate tax rates will attract.

So we hope lawmakers will immediately abandon Gov. Ducey’s proposal to cut taxes by another $30 million — and will also halt next year’s scheduled decline in corporate tax rates. We hope lawmakers will also consider whether some carefully considered tax increases might help stabilize our schools and universities in the upcoming budget.

Then we hope Gov. Ducey will apply his formidable powers of negotiation and focus to undertake a careful study of the state’s existing tax structure. Perhaps we should eliminate the corporate income tax to attract businesses — but we must then replace the money with some other tax. We have tried blindly cutting taxes and hoping it all works out. It’s time to adopt a more deliberate and rational approach.

By all means, get rid of the loopholes and special interest goodies that infest our tax code. By all means, maintain the tools we need to lure targeted businesses to the state.

But also don’t forget that we cannot thrive as a state if our schools disintegrate, our universities close their doors to the working class and we fail to protect children from abuse and neglect.

Nothing to do in Payson?

Editor: We have owned a business in Payson for 14 years and live in the Valley. We have high hopes for Payson and would eventually like to live there when we retire.

We speak with many Valley residents, Sedona, Prescott, and Flagstaff, maybe considered to be Payson’s competition are too crowded.

Highway 87 is an easy commute in comparison to Interstate 17.

The issue is that there is nothing to do in Payson, a recent example, a friend sold a home in Chino Valley, I discussed Payson as a possibility, they said there was no walking or shopping available, they are also buying a second home in Prescott. They did not know that the lake park existed.

Besides the welcoming Payson Golf Course, there are two world-class courses that may need more exposure.

While good schools provide a necessary function, another important issue that may be considered is how to improve activities and retain the younger generation of the community.

Gosar’s not listening to public

Chris Higgins

Editor: Rep. Paul Gosar is upping his sorry mission to bring more uranium mines to our Grand Canyon in order to further the Koch brothers’ agenda to oppose creating more national monuments.

I received a few comments on my letter last week claiming these mines are “job creators” — I Googled “Costs to clean up Uranium Mine Contamination” because I want to post only true facts — It turns out that billions of dollars of tax money have been spent to clean up one mine left by Kerr-McGee on the Navajo Reservation in the Four Corners area ... next to the San Juan River which runs into Lake Powell and joins the same Colorado River that could be contaminated by the Grand Canyon mining scheme.

There are hundreds of other contaminated sites being addressed.

It will take 100 years to clean up this one site!

Some 80 percent of Arizona voters are opposed to more uranium mines in the Grand Canyon area. I only pray that these 80 percent vote against Rep. Paul Gosar in the next election because it’s obvious Gosar is not listening to anyone but Charles and David Koch.

Posse grateful for help Editor: On behalf of the Gila County Posse, I wanted to publicly thank Safeway manager Dan Dillon for his understanding and generosity, by allowing the Gila County Sheriff’s Posse members to set up our recruitment table in front of his store.

He performed a most valuable service to the community by providing informational handouts to his valued customers.

He helped not only the Gila County Sheriff’s Posse, but all the communities of Northern Gila County.

At our most recent monthly meeting, Sheriff Adam Shepherd was able to swear into service (of the posse) an unprecedented seven members at one time. This, in large part, was due to getting the word out to the citizens of our need for members.

This also directly helps the sheriff’s sworn personnel by providing enough posse members to free them from less urgent duties. Of course, this benefits the public in shorter response times.

Please accept our heartfelt gratitude for helping us help the citizens of the Gila County!

Girls night out

by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

An anthropologist specializing in sex roles would have had a field day.

A group of women threw all caution to the wind to hoot and holler for several hours Friday night watching half-naked men dancing to corny, choreographed ’90s music routines.

OK, so maybe I am reading too much into “Hunks.”

Still, it certainly qualified as a strange night in Rim Country.

For the first time, the casino hosted an all-male revue show.

The casino ballroom had an instant buzz as more than 200 women picked out complimentary feather boas and

took their places around the stage.

Some had paid extra to sit up front and most took advantage of the bar in the back. One woman said she was drinking something called an Adios, a pool-blue drink served over ice.

While many wore jeans, the most colorful group sat just off stage. Seven members of the Fancy Flair of Red, the Rim Country chapter of the Red Hat Society, wore bold red and purple dresses, hats and loads of sparkly costume jewelry.

Mary Smith, queen mum, and member Teri Jones, said when they heard about the event they decided to check it out. It fit their main criteria for any outing: fun. Most had seen a revue show

Michele Nelson/Roundup

before, like the Chippendales — mostly decades ago.

None were embarrassed to say they were attending the show. In fact, no one we spoke to seemed self-conscious.

The Red Hat ladies even arrived early to meet the Hunks and reported that all were nice, polite young men.

The lead members of the group had performed together for five years or more and came from all over the world.

Paris Lee, the group’s road manager, said he had been performing in similar shows for 15 years. A former girlfriend,

who was a dancer, got him started.

“How did I get into it? For me, it was like, wait a minute, you are going to fill a room up with women, you are going to have me take my clothes off and then you are going to pay me? Seriously. It was a no-brainer.”

The group performs around 25 shows a month.

“This is about as close to being a rock star as you are ever going to get,” he said. “Women are nuts. It is almost better than being a rock star because you don’t have to deal with the drunk

guys.”

Lee said most women come to a show to let loose.

“They want to forget about life, to forget about kids, a bad relationship or whatever and they just want to enjoy their girlfriends,” he said.

There was a decidedly relaxed feel.

Besides a few hotel security members and the dancers, no men attended. That meant women didn’t have to worry about being ogled or picked up and could simply hang out with their friends, dance, laugh and be silly.

Minister challenges Rep. Gosar on methods more than policy by

Peter Aleshire

roundup editor

Evangelical minster Ray Strauss says he’s a conservative who gets things done.

But he also believes in listening to people, finding common ground and, well, being nice.

And that’s basically why he’s running against incumbent Congressman Paul Gosar in the Republican primary.

“One of the things I’ve learned in 20 years of ministry — how important it is to sit and listen to somebody,” said the Buckeye minister who sat down for an interview on a campaign swing through Payson. “Most people don’t believe they’re intentionally making a bad decision. You have to listen to where they are and persuade.”

He said that Rep. Gosar too often attacks and berates, rather

Ray Strauss, a minister and Buckeye Council member, is challenging Rep. Paul Gosar in the Republican primary to represent the 4th Congressional District, which includes Rim Country. than focusing on solutions and enlisting people with different points of view.

“When you’re influential, you listen — you don’t — there’s a difference between trying to coerce

somebody and trying to persuade somebody. If you’re caustic and yell at somebody, all you do is harden hearts … that’s the difference (between him and Gosar): I’m going to be persuasive, not coercive. And that’s what leads to getting the job done.”

Strauss is a graduate of the Harvard Kennedy School of Government Executive Education program and was an 11-time All American and two-time national champion sprinter when he attended Oklahoma Baptist University.

Strauss said he served on the Buckeye Town Council during a six-year period when the economy grew by 70 percent. Forbes magazine listed Buckeye as one of the six, fastest-growing cities in the United States.

“When the recession hit Buckeye, we were over extended with a $56 million general fund

we could not afford. We reduced it down to $34 million. We started focusing on what was going to catalyze our economy. Year after year, we applied those conservative principals and we were able to reach out into the community.

We identified community leaders — people who had experienced handling multi-million dollar budgets — part of our budget advisory team. They would meet with city staff and go over the budget even before it was presented to the council.”

Strauss staked out conservative positions on things like immigration, drugs, sealing the border and other issues, revealing little substantial difference with Rep. Gosar on policy proposals. However, he said he would approach all those problems — and people who he needed to convince — very differently from Gosar.

Rep. Gosar, a Prescott dentist

and one of the most conservative members of Congress, has launched many tenacious, outspoken attacks — not only on the administration of President Barack Obama, but also on Republican lawmakers and leaders willing to compromise with the administration. He’s a member of the “Freedom Caucus,” a group of conservative Republicans who played a key role in the ouster of then Republican House Speaker John Boehner. In a recent speech in Payson, Gosar also said the “honeymoon’s over” for Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan because he compromised on the budget with the administration instead of risking a government shutdown.

Gosar has pushed to impeach or indict various administration officials, including the head of the IRS, the Attorney General and the head of the Environmental

Rep. Gosar won 70 percent of the vote in the election two years ago in the staunchly conservative district, with much of the population living along the Colorado River. However, the district comes east to pick up Prescott and northern Gila County. Gosar previously represented Congressional District 1, but moved to Prescott to be in the new district when redistricting made District 1 a swing seat and District 4 a safe Republican seat.

But while Strauss criticized Rep. Gosar’s slashing style, he identified few issues on which they would have actually voted differently.

He put the most stress on immigration and the need to seal the border. “It’s critical we enforce the border — the cartels are real.

That’s a huge issue affecting us right now.”

Screening still best tool in fight against breast cancer by

Teresa McQuerrey

roundup staff reporter

The most common cancer in American women today, excluding skin cancers, is breast cancer. It is the second most common cause of cancer-related death in U.S. women (lung cancer is the leading cause).

While rates of death from breast cancer have steadily decreased since 1990, it is still the opinion of most doctors that early detection is the key to reducing risk of death.

Dr. Susan C. Horne, MD, talked about screening for breast cancer at a recent Lunch & Learn program at Banner High Country Seniors.

She explained that early detection, usually by a mammogram, could show tumors too small to feel through breast self-exams, cancers that have not spread outside the breast and pre-cancerous tumors.

Horne said cancer experts say the ideal screening test is one that is proven to find cancer early; proven to decrease the risk of dying from the cancer; and most proven potential benefit with the fewest risk.

Mammography, for women with an “average” risk of breast cancer, has been a proven benefit to screening women ages 50 to 74; and offers some benefit in women ages 40 to 49, but the woman and her physician must balance the screening against the risks.

Horne said the risks associated with mammography include: finding breast cancer in a woman who will not gain better health or longer life by treating the cancer; false negative results causing the cancer to be missed; false positive results causing anxiety and leading to additional testing; additional testing prompted by positive results can risk pain, bleeding, infection, etc.; radiation exposure.

She shared both recommendations on when a woman should have screenings from both the American Cancer Society and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. The ACS recommends women, ages 40 to 45, consider screening at their discretion; ages 45 to 54, yearly mammograms; 55 and older, mammograms every two years, continuing as long as the woman is in good health and expected to live at least 10 more years.

The task force recommends: ages 40 to 49 have screening if the benefits outweigh the risks; ages 50 to 74, have a mammogram every two years; 75 and older, continue if otherwise in good health.

Women at high risk of breast cancer should have annual mammograms, regardless of the general recommendations. These women are those that carry specific gene mutations that make breast cancer more likely; have certain genetic conditions, such as Li-Fraumeni or Cowden Syndrome; have a first degree relative (mother or sister) with breast cancer, especially if the onset was at a young age; history of radiation therapy to the chest before age 30. Horne said it is recommended these women — those at high risk — also have an annual MRI in addition to annual mammograms.

A mammogram will reveal a variety of images that might require further screening: a mass, which can be cystic or solid; calcifications; scars; lymph nodes; and dense breast tissue. The findings from these screening are rated on a scale of 0 to 6. Horne said if a patient has a 0 rating, more imaging is needed. However, a rating of 1 or 2 generally indicate normal or benign findings, and no more testing is required.

Ratings between 3 and 5 indicate abnormal findings: a 3, follow-up imagining is frequently recommended; 4, suspicious enough to need a biopsy, but

Teresa McQuerrey/Roundup

Dr. Susan C. Horne, MD, recently presented a program on breast screening for a Lunch & Learn at Banner High Country Seniors. not definitely malignant; 5, suspicious for malignancy, biopsy needed.

A rating of 6 indicates biopsy proven cancer.

Should a mammogram be abnormal, a comparison to old films is the first step in the follow-up process. If additional imaging is required, it could consist of a diagnostic mammography; ultrasound; and/or MRI. Finally, a biopsy could be done for tissue diagnosis.

Horne said there are several different kinds of biopsy methods: stereotactic, which is a mammography using computerized mapping; ultrasound-guided; and MRI-guided.

Additionally a surgical biopsy may be necessary, she said. This happens when the core needle biopsy is inconclusive; the initial biopsy is discordant with imaging; the core needle biopsy resulted in non-malignant pathology,

but the tumor was incompletely excised; the initial biopsy results in malignant pathology; there is a palpable lesion.

Horne said the goal of a surgical biopsy is complete excision, including the margins around the lesion if they are determined to be malignant. When a surgical biopsy is performed there may be a sentinel lymph node biopsy none if malignancy is known or highly suspected.

USDA tips for reducing food waste and preventing illness As Earth Day approaches, did you know USDA has an app that can help you save money and help the environment? Or that there are some simple steps you can take in the kitchen to help you serve safer food and to help you reduce resource use and utility bills? This spring, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Food Safety and

Inspection Service (FSIS) is issuing food safety recommendations to help consumers reduce foodborne illness, resource use, and unnecessary spending for Earth Day. The USDA’s Economic Research Service (ERS) estimates that 133 billion pounds of food in the available food supply goes uneaten each year. The

estimated value of this food loss is $161 billion using retail prices.

Simple actions such as cleaning your oven, allowing your refrigerator to properly circulate air, and downloading the free FoodKeeper app can help you reduce your risk of foodborne illness, your impact on the environment, and the cost of your bills.

The FoodKeeper

The birthdate of a family member may stick in your mind, but are you able to remember when you bought all the items in your refrigerator? Every year, billions of pounds of food go to waste in the U.S. because consumers are not sure of its quality or safety. Last year, USDA launched the FoodKeeper app to help combat this cause of waste.

The FoodKeeper is available for Apple and Android devices and allows users to set up automatic notifications when foods and beverages are nearing the end of their recommended storage date.

By helping users understand how items should be stored in the refrigerator, freezer, and pantry, the application empowers consumers to choose storage methods that extend the shelf life of their items. It offers valuable advice about more than 400 food and beverage items, including various types of baby food, dairy products, eggs, meat, poultry, produce, seafood, and more.

Cooking advice is also offered to ensure users prepare products in ways that eliminate foodborne bacteria.

Your refrigerator

Your refrigerator is your first line of defense in the fight against foodborne illness.

Keeping items below 40 degrees reduces the growth of illness causing pathogens and helps to keep items fresher, longer. But if your refrigerator is over packed, it can cause problems for both your health and your wallet. An over-packed refrigerator cannot properly circulate air, meaning some storage zones may not be keeping proper temperature. If food is not stored at the proper temperature, it can increase your risk of illness and cause your refrigerator’s motor to run constantly, increasing utility bills.

Don’t stack foods tightly or cover refrigerator shelves with any material that prevents air circulation from quickly and evenly cooling stored items.

Leave at least an inch on all sides of items for cold air to circulate around them, and be sure

not to block air vents. To check the temperature of your fridge, place an appliance thermometer at its warmest location, generally the middle of the door and wait 5 to 8 hours. If the temperature is above 40 degrees, adjust the temperature control down.

Check again after 5 to 8 hours, and repeat as necessary until your refrigerator is at a safe temperature.

Lastly, your kitchen is a high-traffic area where dust accumulates quickly. The front grill of your refrigerator should be kept free of dust and lint to permit free airflow to the unit’s condenser.

Cooking

Cooking food to a safe internal temperature is the only way

to destroy bacteria and other pathogens that can cause foodborne illness.

• Whole cuts of beef, pork, lamb and veal should be cooked to 145 degrees. For safety and quality, allow meat to rest for at least three minutes before carving or consuming.

• Ground beef, pork, lamb and veal should be cooked to 160 degrees.

• All poultry should be cooked to 165 degrees.

In addition to offering health benefits, using a food thermometer can prevent overcooking.

When using the oven or burners, make sure heating surfaces are clear of food debris. This will ensure an even distribution of energy for optimal heating, also reducing energy costs.

Payson Care Center helps Cutting sugar’s umbilical cord with juicing local man recover from broken hip and stroke David Watson has bounced back from a broken hip and a stroke faster than anyone anticipated.

Associates at Payson Care Center, where he has been completing his rehabilitation, are calling him their miracle patient.

Watson, a retired construction worker and pastor, fell and broke his hip. He was scheduled for surgery, and during that time he had a stroke, which affected his left side.

When Watson arrived at Payson Care Center on Feb. 18, he was dependent on the staff for all of his functional mobility.

He couldn’t sit on the side of his bed, let alone walk, and the stroke had affected his mouth and throat in addition to his limbs, which made it difficult for him to speak or swallow.

Therapists began working with Watson five days a week to help him regain his independence.

Physical therapists focused on strengthening exercises and range-of-motion activities to get Watson moving again, and it took less time than they expected to get him up and walking and working on his gait again.

Meanwhile, occupational therapists worked with Watson to redevelop his fine motor skills for daily tasks like grooming, bathing and feeding himself.

Electrical stimulation helped with this process in addressing the weakness in his left arm and hand.

Watson worked equally hard with the speech therapists as they walked him through swallowing and speech exercises. He completed his speech therapy on April 1 and is now able to talk and swallow without difficulty.

“He has had an excellent recovery from weakness in his fine motor skills,” said Denise Miller, occupational therapist.

“I am surprised at how well and quickly he is recovering,” said Deb Bassett, licensed prac-

tical nurse. “Every day he is doing better.”

Watson is now able to walk 300-500 feet with stand-by assistance and can take care of himself as long as he has someone there to remind him of safety precautions.

“I can walk now,” said Watson. “Therapy strengthened me and helped my speech and swallowing.”

Watson continued his therapy as long as he could so he could be at his highest level of function to return home to his wife, who is undergoing cancer treatment.

He plans to return home the week of April 18.

Once upon a time, sugar was mostly relegated to desserts. But now, excessive amounts can be found in everyday foods and beverages, and it’s taking a toll, according to recently published studies.

• The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center exposed high-sugar diets as major risks for cancer, especially breast cancer.

• The Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience journal indicates that sugar may cause not only diabetes and obesity, but also brain defects similar to those triggered by stress or abuse.

• Sugar accounts for much of our country’s weight gain and the rise of fatty liver disease.

“We already knew it was very bad for us, but alarming new evidence just keeps pouring in,” says nutritionist and juicing pioneer Cherie Calbom, MS, who is known as “The Juice Lady.”

“Despite the case against excessive sugar intake, we know its prevalent use remains in things like ketchup, yogurt, canned soup, salad dressing, tomato sauce, bread, granola bars — not to mention soda or dessert-style coffee beverages.”

That’s why Calbom suggests taking full control of the sugar in your diet by making your own meals, snacks and drinks. Her most recent book, “The Juice Lady’s Sugar Knockout” (www.juiceladycherie.com), offers recipes for overcoming sugar.

Samples of her “Sugar Knockout” recipes include: Curb your carb craving with a Jerusalem artichoke-based juice cocktail. Here’s a traditional remedy: Carb Curbing Juice • 3-4 carrots • 2 celery ribs • 1 Jerusalem artichoke • 1 cucumber, peeled if not organic • 1 lemon, peeled if not organic • 1/2 green apple Wash produce first and, once juiced, drink as soon as possible.

Longing for dessert-time? Try a delicious alternative to traditional chocolate mousse.

Chocolate Mousse Alternative • 1 medium avocado, ripe • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder • 2 tablespoons coconut nectar or 1/4 teaspoon stevia • 6 tablespoons almond milk

• Optional: pistachios, strawberries, raspberries or goji berries Put large chunks of avocado flesh in the blender. Add the cocoa, sweetener and almond milk. Blend, starting on low and then moving to high speed until smooth. If the avocado is larger, you will need a bit more of each ingredient. If it is too thick, drizzle in a bit more almond milk. Add more cocoa or sweetener to taste. Refrigerate the mousse and serve cold. Top with nuts or berries.

“These recipes let you know that, once you decide to live without sugar, it’s deliciously possible,” Calbom says.

Shawn Elliott Bahe, 21, was sentenced to the Arizona Department of Corrections by the Honorable Timothy M. Wright. Bahe previously pleaded guilty to Aggravated DUI, a class 4 felony, and Unlawful Flight, a class 5 felony.

On Oct. 2, 2015, officers with the Payson Police Department attempted to stop Bahe after observing him nearly strike pedestrians crossing Highway 87.

Officers put on the lights and sirens in their

vehicle, but Bahe failed to immediately stop and continued driving to his residence.

Police arrested him there. An investigation showed he not only had a blood alcohol concentration of .177, but was driving on a suspended license. Bahe committed these offenses while already on probation for Attempted Unlawful Use of Means of Transportation, a class 6 felony.

Prosecutor Calley Anderson said Bahe was sentenced to 2.5 years in the Arizona Department of Corrections. Upon his release from prison, Bahe will be placed on 36 months of intensive probation.

State budget negotiations From page 1A during the recession. Lawmakers cut the corporate tax rate from 6.97 percent to 5.5 percent — with a further decline to 4.9 percent the following year. The change also lets corporations who manufacture goods in the state pay tax only on what they actually sell in Arizona.

The total amount paid in corporate taxes has declined from $1 billion in 2007 to $663 million in 2015, with a projected decline to $298 million in 2019.

At 5.5 percent — only 13 states now have lower corporate tax rates than Arizona, according to the Tax Foundation.

Ironically enough, the $350 million cut so far comes to about the same amount Proposition 123 would generate to settle an inflation adjustment lawsuit for public schools, with most of the money coming from increasing the amount taken from the state land trust, already reserved for schools.

The latest projections suggest the state will have $43 million more than expected this year, but perhaps $8 million less next year — with a

Gov. Ducey’s budget -- $105 million in new spending this year and $284 million in fiscal 2017, including $168 million in new programs.

-- A $30 million “placeholder” for more tax cuts.

-- A $621 million surplus and a $10 million increase in the $460 million rainy day fund.

-- $30 million to restore career and technical education programs.

-- $15 million for school repairs statewide.

-- $9 million in incentives for college prep programs like AP classes.

-- $8 million to cover the costs of in-state students at the universities, reversing eight years of cuts totaling nearly $500 million.

-- $134 million over 18 months for the Department of Child Safety.

-- $18 million to provide 1,000 new beds in private prisons, with another 1,000 beds added in 2017.

-- $32 million for a Border Strike Task Force.

net gain of about $35 million.

The projection now suggests the state’s surplus in the current fiscal year will rise to about $660 million in cash, plus another $426 million in the state’s rainy day fund.

This year’s budget for the current fiscal year included a $100 million cut for the universities.

K-12 schools got minimal increases, while prisons and the Department of Child Safety fared the best overall.

If voters approve Proposition 123, K-12 schools could get an additional $340 million annually — which works out to about $300 per student. That would represent a roughly 10 percent increase in state funding per student, although it would still fall short of the amount lawmakers withheld in defiance of the terms of an initiative approved in 2000.

Estimates by the Senate and House reportedly project about $200 million less in revenues than Ducey, suggesting the negotiations between the governor and lawmakers will focus more on reductions from his proposals than increases.

Rescue effort ends in discovery of hiker’s body From page 1A Catalina Mountains.

They learned Carreon-Maltos was an inexperienced hiker who had planned to go on a day hike April 8.

Two other TRSAR volunteers joined Pitterle on Thursday for the search. A Blackhawk helicopter dropped the team off in the canyon.

After they found nothing, the team came back Friday. Four additional TRSAR members joined the search and they were divided into two teams.

Pitterle’s team consisted of three TRSAR members and two Coconino County searchers. A helicopter dropped the team off at the top of the canyon.

“Part way through the canyon I found tracks that had been made shortly after a rain, which would have been the day (Carreon-Maltos) disappeared,” Pitterle said. “The subject was reported to be looking for pools off the beaten track, and we were on a live stream, so operations told us to follow the tracks out.

High winds had grounded the helicopters so Pitterle’s team began the six-mile hike out to the trailhead around 5 p.m.

As the group passed Seven Falls, a terrace of waterfalls, they learned hikers, who had hiked into the canyon to get out of the high winds, had spotted something in a downstream pool.

They found Carreon-Maltos’s body pinned under some rocks in a pool.

Lavish costumes, sets and even workable trolleys that wandered up and down the aisles filled with the huge cast of 40 marked the Payson High School musical, “Meet Me In St. Louis.”

The sweet story followed the Smith family for months as they found loves, worked through the spectre of leaving their beloved city and ultimately discovered that wherever family is — that’s home.

The actors who played the Smith family, Christian Teague (Mr. Alonso Smith), Macie Chernov (Mrs. Anna Smith), Saul Solis (Lon Smith), Olivia Foster (Rose Smith), Crystal Kubby (Esther Smith), Rachel Brundage (Agnes Smith), Bobbie Beaugureau (Tootie Smith) and Tony Gentless (Grandpa Prophater), with Tierney Phillips (the maid, Katie), had a wonderful relationship that made the audience laugh and cry.

The love interests of the three oldest siblings, played by Keith Foster (John Truitt), Zach Brooks (Warren Sheffield), Heather Brown (Lucille Ballard) and Ali Cambier (Eve) added just the right amount of romance to the show.

But kudos had to go to the other 27 cast and ensemble members who worked hard to pull off huge dance numbers — the first a square dance at Lon’s going away party, the next a rousing number at the Christmas Ball.

In fact, at the Christmas Ball, Esther had to dance with a number of extras in a humorous series of attempts at waltzes and maybe foxtrots?

The dancing got so crazy, Esther had to really keep it together to survive the twirls and stomps of her ungainly partners played

by Matthew Zalewkis (Clinton Badger), Ty Brahm (Peewee Drummond), Dexter Tiffany (Sidney Purvis) and Johathon Wiechmann (Wayne Cherry).

In a surprise move, the director, Thomas Walling, built trolleys that the actors “rode in” up and down the aisles by shuffling their feet and holding the trolleys up off the ground. As they moved the trolleys they sang “The Trolley Song,” just to make things more complicated.

The set was its own masterpiece with exteriors, interiors, a ballroom and even a street scene for the 1904 World’s Fair.

Audience members raved about the musicality of the show, which this year relied heavily on the choir department. The school’s band in the pit played perfectly throughout the two-and-a-half-hour show. The pit included Anna Schouten on cello and keyboards, Sandra Lewinson and Jershua Paine on the flute, Kate Launder on guitar and banjo, Colin Nossek on clarinet, Trace Wallace on trumpet, Sabrina Bonn and Christopher Watson on horn, Roy Bergold on drums and Josh Hat on mallet percussion. Adults Sue Becker on piano, Joyce Cambier on bass clarinet, Jose Maritinez on trumpet and Mike Buskirk on bass completed the music ensemble.

Coordinating the music with the actors and the pit was conductor Daria Mason — who had the toughest job of all — making the music and singers work together.

But instead of hanging their heads after failing to slam the door and watching visiting Show Low take advantage of defensive misplays to rally from a 3-1 deficit to force extra innings, Payson’s baseball players refocused.

And when the Cougars hit a home run to take the lead in the top of the eighth, some teams would have figured it just wasn’t their night.

Not these Longhorns.

The home team answered with a run of its own in the bottom of the eighth, held Show Low off the board in the top of the ninth and ended it in the bottom of the frame.

Jake Beeler tripled into the right field corner and Ruben Estrada lined the first pitch he saw into left field to drive Beeler home and lift the Longhorns to a wild 5-4 victory on Wednesday, April 13.

Teammates sprinted onto the field to mob Estrada, who did his best to elude them but couldn’t escape the bucket of ice water one of his mates dumped on him.

PHS head coach Brian Young loved the resilience he saw from his players in posting their fifth consecutive power points win.

“It was a lot of fun,” Young said. “I really like how we had to battle through some adversity in this game. We lost a couple balls in the lights or sky that would normally be caught and the game ended up tied. Then we give up the home run in the top of the eighth and answer back with a run. Our team looked like they were on a mission tonight and they weren’t going to let anything stop us.”

Hunter Paul gave Payson a chance to win by limiting the Cougars to three runs, only one of which was earned, in seven innings. He allowed six hits, walked two and struck out six. Ryan Ricke worked the final two innings for the win, allowing three hits, one walk and one run while fanning three.

“Hunter did a great job and really deserved to get the win before we went into extras,” Young said. “He is really battling hitters and changing speeds to keep them off balance. He knows what

Ryan did a nice job pitching through some tough spots in extra innings to finish the game.”

The Longhorns won despite being out-hit 9-8.

Carl Adcock was 2-for-3 with three RBI. His tworun home run in the first inning staked the home team to an early lead it didn’t surrender until Show Low scored twice in the sixth to tie it 3-3. Adcock, who gave the Horns a 3-1 lead with a third-inning single to drive home Estrada, just missed belting another homer.

Beeler finished 2-for-4 and Estrada 2-for-6 with the walk-off single.

“Jake had the clutch triple in the ninth and with him on third and Ruben at the plate you feel really good about getting a run there,” Young said. “We have really leaned on our seniors at the plate all year and Ruben came through in that spot. Carl

Payson lost despite a 12-hit attack. Jake Beeler added two hits and Hunter Paul drove in three runs.

Estrada walked two and fanned three. Taran Sarnowski allowed three hits and three runs (all earned) in one inning of relief.

Payson’s young golf team keeps improving.

And the Longhorns came home from Safford on Friday, April 15 with a nice plaque to prove just that.

Three Longhorns finished among the top six individuals to lead Payson to the championship in the 11-team Mt. Graham Invitational hosted by Safford and Thatcher.

The Longhorns shot an 18-hole season-low 340 despite battling 25-mile per hour winds most of the afternoon to win the tournament for the second consecutive year. Tucson Empire finished second, nine strokes back at (349), followed by Willcox (355), Tucson Pusch Ridge Christian (385), Thatcher (389), Safford (399), Bisbee (418), Morenci (434), Benson (472) and Tucson Tanque Verde (474). Duncan did not field a complete team.

Junior Mitchell McGuire fired a season-best 81 to finish third. Freshman Rayce Mathews tied for fourth with a season-low 82. And senior Bryce Goodman placed sixth with an 84.

Additionally, senior Clay Kaufman turned in his best round of the year with a 93 to round out the scoring. Jordan Jones shot 101 in the play-five count-four format.

Payson head coach Randy Mathews said honing their skills at Chaparral Pines and The Rim Club makes playing easier courses less challenging.

“After playing these fantastic courses, other tracks seem easier,” he said. “We are truly grateful for the opportunity given us by Mr. (Steve) Loy, the professional staff and the members of the two wonderful golf clubs.”

The Longhorns return to action today at Verde Santa Fe Country Club against Camp Verde. They play in the White Mountain Invitational at White Mountain CC on Friday and Saturday.
