Making way for custard

Culver’s demolishes former Pirate’s Cove for new restaurant by

roundup staff reporter

Break out the wrecking ball. Crews quickly went to work Monday demolishing the former Pirate’s Cove and miniature golf course near Miss Fitz 260 Cafe. In its place will be a new Culver’s restaurant, scheduled to open sometime after Labor Day, at 805 E. Highway 260. Steve and Cathy Chlupsa of Gilbert are the new franchisee owners. This is the couple’s first franchise and they plan to move to Payson to oversee it. Steve said the restaurant would employ around 100. They are currently looking to hire 80-90 crew members and 10 managers. Steve last year retired after working in corporate finance. Looking for a retirement project to keep him busy, he started researching franchise options. Steve grew up in the Midwest and was always a fan of Culver’s, which opened its first location in 1984 in Sauk City, Wisc. The chain is known best for its ButterBurgers and frozen custard. The burgers, made with fresh Midwest beef, got their name because they are served on a lightly buttered toasted bun. The custard is made fresh throughout the day on site. Steve said everything is made to order and the menu includes more than just burgers. Dinner options include chopped steak, beef pot roast, fried chicken and shrimp plates each served with sides, which range from cheese curds, mashed potatoes and gravy to coleslaw. There are also soups and salads. And they have gluten free buns available. There are now 23 Culver’s in the state. See Culver’s, page 5A

Star Valley must cross a big canyon on a rickety bridge on the road to its fiscal 201617 budget — the loss of revenue with the forced discontinuation of the town’s photo enforcement program. The Star Valley Town Council had its first look at the proposed budget at its April 19 meeting. The FY 2016-17 budget anticipates $1,208,139 million in general fund revenue, a $694,423 decrease from FY 15-16. Additionally, staff expects the town to receive $1,110,245 in restricted revenues (grants, THE WEATHER

Mountain bikers, mayor hope trails will create biker heaven by

Within hours of contacting Mayor Kenny Evans, Michael Bonnette, president of the Rim Country Mountain Biking Association and Mick Wolf, treasurer, met to start turning Payson into a world-class destination for mountain bikers. Wolf said it was a great meeting. “Everything about the meeting with the mayor was positive,” he said. Bonnette said the mayor has been thinking about improving

HURF, county excise tax, etc.), which is a drop from the $1,309,144 it received this year. Anticipated expenses, outside restricted funds, total $4,472,302. These expenses include setting aside $2.8 million in contingency and an additional $600,000 in a rainy day fund. The proposed budget would max out of the town’s existing reserve fund — which sits at $3.9 million — to cover the shortfall, while the “new” contingency money would start rebuilding the fund. The drop in revenue is primarily the result of losing the photo enforcement revenue. The state this year banned photo radar on state highways, prompting the town to shut down its photo enforcement cameras on March 16. It is con-

tinuing to process the citations issued prior to March 16. Town Manager Tim Grier told the council that if the photo enforcement contractor Redflex comes into compliance with the Attorney General’s opinion requiring employees processing the tickets to get licenses as personal investigators, the town

The problematic economy has spurred a flurry of talk about economic development in recent months, as Payson and other Rim Country communities try to transform the area into a tourist destination — not just a pit stop. On Wednesday, Payson hosted the Arizona Association of Economic Development’s first roundtable discussion for central/eastern Arizona. The meeting attracted representatives from Show Low, Globe, Superior, Gila County, the U.S. Forest Service, Rep. Paul Gosar’s office, a broadband company and various business leaders. The three-hour meeting at the Mazatzal Hotel and Casino covered everything from the current state of the economy to the biggest issues facing growth in the region. The Gila County Industrial Development Authority, the casino and National Bank of Arizona

sponsored the session. The takeaway: Economic progress must hurdle problems with infrastructure and financing. The Arizona Association of Economic Development (AAED) says it will convey comments from the event to lawmakers as it lobbies for rural Arizona. On the issue of funding, attendees said rural areas continue to not only line up grants and loans, but to get equal treatment from lawmakers — most of whom represent Maricopa County districts. Joyce Grossman, executive director of the AAED, said they advocate for responsible economic development. The AAED currently has 485 members that work together to support bills to benefit development. They invited Jim Rounds, of Rounds Consulting Group, to discuss the state’s economy.

the trails around the area for some time. They all agreed the effort could start with the Granite Dells area. Bonnette will seek input from the other members of the RCMBA before making a final decision. “What he wanted to do is meet with our group and decide if that is absolutely where we’d like to work,” said Bonnette. Already, mountain bikers have taken it upon themselves to build a single-track trail in the Granite Dells area. This has caused some concern for the Forest Service

Roundup reader Steve Stevens took this picture of crews pouring concrete over the C.C. Cragin pipeline where it crosses the East Verde River along Houston Mesa Road.

Workers continue to bury the 16-inch pipe that will eventually deliver 3,000 acre-feet of water annually to Payson from the C.C. Cragin Reservoir atop the Mogollon Rim. People in the little subdivisions along Houston Mesa Road have had to cope with the mess and delays for months, as work continues. Payson will ultimately spend some $50 million on a water supply that will provide more than enough water for a town of 40,000. The water will more than double Payson’s supply, making it one of the few towns with enough water.

because the trail did not go through the correct processes, but Evans said the Forest Service supports the idea of building trails the future. “They’re on board. They want this to happen,” he said. Yet the mayor said the Forest Service must clear many hurdles before it can go gangbusters. “The challenge is they have these checkboxes to get it checked off the list,” said Evans. “There are 60 or 70 items on their list. They do not have the staffing or ability to do that by themselves.” That’s why both RCMBA and Payson plan to create a trail-building group. Another challenge — possible opposition from off-road groups and environmentalists to expanding the non-motorized trails system. Bonnette, said that without proper trails, ATVs tear up the forest. “They do doughnuts upside the mountains,” he said. “Quad (owners) need to realize they have hundreds of miles of their trails. They don’t need to tear up single track” built for mountain bikes, hikers and often horses. Wolf said when he first arrived in Payson in 2008, oldtime mountain bikers tried to show him the local trails, but found them so torn up by ATVs no mountain biker could ride them anymore. Moreover, in the Granite Dells area environmentalists have identified several unique species of cactus. As a result, some environmentalists have concerns about lessening the impact on the area. Evans said he understands the off-road groups fear the Forest Service would like to completely kick them out of the Tonto, but insisted no one wants to do that. RCMBA and Evans hope to show the off-road vehicle drivers that with a careful travel management plan, everyone can enjoy the forest. They hope environmentalists will trust that the trail builders will incorporate environmental protections into

After July, the membership fees will be split between the International Mountain

Wolf has positive feelings as well. “In my nine years of being here, this is the first time things have lined up,” he said. “You have awareness in the community.

Struggling to make Payson a destination From page 1A Rounds said the state’s job growth rate is strong, with Arizona ranked No. 7 in the country for job growth in 2016. Moreover, employment has finally risen above the 2008, pre-recession high. However, Rounds said while the number of jobs has risen — the quality of those jobs has lagged. Industry wise, leisure and hospitality jobs have made the biggest recovery, while construction has languished. Construction has regained only 18 percent of the jobs it lost in the recession. In Gila County, employment largely recovered to the 2008 peak where other counties, like Navajo and Apache have not seen such a turnaround. Economists are predicting another recession, likely around 2018, but one not as bad as that of 2008. The current period of unbroken economic growth is already one of the longest expansions since World War II. Rounds encouraged communities to ready themselves for another downturn so they recover more quickly. And that does not rely mostly on attracting new businesses. Added businesses help, but communities must build from within, with a quality workforce, roads and industry support, he said. Payne Palmer, with Central Arizona Golf Properties, said he would like to see the

the design. “(The Forest Service is) facing pressure from the left, the right and the middle,” said Evans. “We’re working with them to make sure they know it’s for multiple use ... to create a truly a world-class destination.” Wolf said he’s looking forward to creating unique trails for non-motorized use. Currently, he has to leave the Payson area to find trails safe and easy enough for his children to use with him. “I think we are the only town in the country without a non-motorized section,” he said. “I don’t understand how we got where we are today.” Evans said he is now working on getting meetings together with interested stakeholders from the Forest Service, trail builders and mountain biking groups. “We need a document that says what we’d like to do long term and short term,” said Evans. Bonnette said he’s still working on getting all the details together to become a full-fledged 501(c)(3) mountain bike association — and so far, it’s going great. “We’ve got the incorporation papers filed. We are going to have sign ups and memberships at both bike shops,” said Bonnette. “RCMBA.org is being

One breakout session focused on the region’s persistent problems in providing reliable broadband service for cellphones and the Internet. Payson has had three outages that wiped out phone and Internet services for hours. The problem stems from reliance on a single fiber optic cable that originates in the

Valley and travels up through Camp Verde. The system has no backup now. However, town officials have met with various industry leaders who have proposed creating a loop running from northern Arizona to Payson or possibly from Payson to Fountain Hills. A future cut in the primary line would automatically shift signals around the loop the other way around. If a line were cut in Camp Verde again, the system would automatically switch to another fiber optic line. Payson would then not sit at the end of a dead end line. However, the town must line up funding and convince Internet and cellphone providers to buy in. A representative from the Verde Valley said they surveyed high usage Internet users to justify the need for higher speeds. They are now working to boost broadband speeds by adding new lines during a highway expansion project. Bobby Davis, Payson’s economic development specialist, and Mayor Kenny Evans are spearheading Rim Country’s push for better broadband. They will host a broadband consortium meeting May 17 at the Central Arizona Board of Realtors office in Payson. Davis said broadband is a necessity, not only for residents, but businesses and health care facilities. He stressed the question is not now “if” Payson will upgrade — but “when.”

to less than $222,515 when it failed to get a $250,000 grant from the Arizona Department of Transportation. In the coming fiscal year, Star Valley hopes to get $233,217 from stateshared gas taxes. Some expenses and revenue sources will likely drop in the new fiscal year, while others will increase. Drops in expenses are anticipated for services and supplies; capital projects; the council; the parks department, animal control and town vehicles. Costs will also drop due to the completion of an improved low water crossing of Houston Creek for Sprague Ranch Road and several water department projects. Expenses will also drop with the end of the photo enforcement program, which costs about $609,378 annually to operate. However, other expenses will rise including: • An increase in employee benefits • An increase in the contributions to the Arizona State Retirement System • The cost of holding elections for the

expiring terms of George Binney, Gary Coon and Barbara Hartwell • A rise in the cost of building inspections • Street operations, covered by the Local Transportation Assistance Fund, which uses lottery money. The council held the first public hearing on the budget on April 19 budget, but will have at least two more hearings. No one from the audience had any questions or comments. Vice Mayor George Binney and Councilor Barbara Hartwell debated to keep $2.6 million available in the contingency fund. Town Manager Tim Grier raised the issue. “The $2.6 million is not a good number anymore. The loss of the photo enforcement program revenue is not going to close the town, but we need to make smart decisions regarding the services we offer residents and keeping the town financially healthy now and in the future,” Grier said. He said the council has to pick projects carefully and consider how much benefit residents will receive.

town cleaned up. When he drives the streets around town, Palmer said he sees a hodgepodge of architecture, landscaping and colors. Palmer said he would like to see neighborhoods come together, with the support of the town, and get things cleaned up. Palmer would also like to see the development of an affordable retirement community in Payson, like a Del Webb community found in the Valley. Payson town planner Sheila DeSchaaf said the town limited high-density housing for years due to water issues. However, the C.C. Cragin pipeline makes it possible to build high-density housing. Still, some residents have balked at mini subdivisions in their neighborhoods, fearing a drop in property values. DeSchaaf said higher density development generally does not lower property values, but does help generate the revenue for the town to build its population base and maintain infrastructure.

may switch the cameras back on until mid to late July, when the state’s overall ban takes effect. That could generate additional revenue, bringing the total revised 2015-16 budget for the program’s revenue to $768,865. However, once the legislation becomes effective, the town anticipates photo enforcement revenue at only $96,000 for FY 16-17 — roughly one month’s worth of tickets. The FY 16-17 budget includes some revenue increases, but also a jump in costs. The town expects rises in state-shared revenue (state income, sales and auto lieu taxes) and city sales tax distribution. Star Valley Finance Administrator Chancy Nutt said both a healthier economy and more aggressive collection efforts should increase city sales tax collections. The town staff expects a slight increase in money from the Highway Users Revenue Fund (gas tax money for transportation projects). This year it budgeted $480,844 from gas taxes, but cut the actual number

PAYSON ROUNDUP

OPINION

4A Friday, April 22, 2016

ourview

lookback

Wow: What a century Wow. What a century. Kind of eye opening — even for us. We’re talking about the perspective we got from preparing this year’s Progress Edition, included in today’s Roundup. We’ve published the Progress Edition for years now — usually focusing on the new developments and business success and institutional gains made in the past year. But this time, we figured we’d do something a little different. This time, we opened with some stories about Rim Country’s ancient and settler past. This led into a look at where things stand now — and that, in turn, led naturally enough to a brief contemplation of the future. One thing emerged crystal clear from the exercise: Generations of tough, ambitious dreamers have made Rim Country what it has become — and we’ve not run short on such folks to move us along into our bright future. Now, if you limit yourself to a year or two — it’s easy to lose perspective. Politics is a mess, our kids move away, our roads have potholes, the real estate market struggles, the university project’s taking forever. Woe is woe is woe betide. But step back a bit and look at the long sweep of civilization right here in Rim Country, from wandering mammoth hunters to people who built a civilization of grace and complexity. They raised their children here for thousands of years, savoring the sunrises, the mild climate, the breeze off the Rim. They persisted — and continue still. Then not much more than a century ago, the first European and American settlers gambled their lives and fortunes to build something new. They suffered and triumphed — and raised their children here and laid down the foundation on which we newcomers have built. The effort continues, the challenge and the progress passed along from one generation to the next. Now we can celebrate the descendants of those settlers, still making their contribution to the beloved community. Now we attract people who spent their whole lives building things and raising children, who have come to this glint of paradise to retire. Now we attract families and teachers and mountain bikers and telecommuting consultants. So who can fear the future in such a place, among such people? Certainly, we’ve had our hard times — and hard knocks. But those who came before had worse times and harder knocks. But still they built and passed along their gains to their children and their children’s children. So we hope you’ll spend some time with our Progress Edition. We think you’ll agree: It’s been quite a century. We can’t wait to see what comes next.

Bikers rolling We’re excited that Payson officials have so quickly moved to support a volunteer effort to boost Rim Country’s economy by creating a network of trails for mountain bikers and others. The Rim Country Mountain Biking Association formed a few weeks ago, but already they’ve taken vigorous action to get the wheel rolling. The young, soft-spoken, results-oriented president of the group, Michael Bonnette, met recently with Payson Mayor Kenny Evans and other town officials to talk about the ambitious plan to build trails that will attract mountain bikers and boost the region’s tourist economy — as they have in places like Sedona, Moab, Utah, Fruita, Colo. and others. In each of those areas, local city and county government have given strong support to a vigorous volunteer effort to create world-class mountain bike trails — which will also attract hikers and horseback riders. Of course, the task involves potentially formidable difficulties — starting with winning the cooperation of the U.S. Forest Service, which manages most of the lands on which the group and its backers hope to build trails. The volunteer trail building effort in Pine mounted by the Fuel Reduction Committee demonstrates both the hard work necessary and the enormous rewards possible. The group and Payson officials will likely turn their attention first to Granite Dells, the perfect place for looping trails that can appeal to hikers and mountain bikers at all skill levels. Several good trails already thread through the area, but backers will have to resolve potentially thorny conflicts with off-road vehicles and even endangered plants. Nonetheless, the creation of the such a pragmatic, result-oriented group will make all kinds of things possible — from winning crucial grants to mobilizing volunteer labor. The enthusiastic embrace of those goals by town officials dramatically increases the chance of success. So congratulations to everyone involved. And remember — a ride of 1,000 miles starts with a single pedal push.

• April 23, 1564: English dramatist and poet William Shakespeare is born in Stratford-on-Avon. While it is impossible to be certain of the exact day of his birth, church records show that he was baptized on April 26, and it was customary to wait three days before baptizing a newborn. • April 21, 1918: Manfred von Richthofen, the German flying ace known as “The Red Baron,” is killed by Allied fire. In a time when 20 air victories ensured a pilot legendary status, von Richthofen had downed 80 enemy aircraft. He was 25 years old. • April 24, 1953: Winston Churchill, the British leader who guided Great Britain and the Allies through World War II, is knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. • April 20, 1971: The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the use of busing to achieve racial desegregation in schools. • April 22, 1978: The Blues Brothers make their world premiere on “Saturday Night Live.” Led by SNL cast members Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi, the band would go on to score three top-40 hits and a No. 1 album.

Sad to see the article Editor: It was sad to see the Roundup do an article about women salivating over mostly naked men at the Mazatzal Casino recently. Even sadder was a “happy” picture of several women who go to church and call themselves Christian hamming it up at the immoral show and according to the article, “None were embarrassed to say they were attending the show. In fact, no one we spoke to seemed self-conscious.” Whatever happened to modesty, decency, and the Bible calling such lustful and shameful behavior sinful? Apparently the standards are not the same for women. Can you imagine the Roundup reporting on 200 men hooting and hollering over mostly naked women on stage? The world has turned upside down. Heaven help us all! Cathy and Tim Branson

Girl Scout volunteers rock Editor: I would like to acknowledge the passion, dedication and commitment of Payson and Pine Girl Scout volunteers! All of these women give their best to help girls gain courage, confidence and character. They volunteer their personal energy and time in the evenings and on weekends to make a difference in the lives of girls and to make the world a better place. Thank you to the leaders of Troop 2459: Rhonda Evans, Michell Marinelli, Lynn Kelly and Amber Long; the leaders of Troop 45: Mary Hansen, Jessica Homan and Deborah Austin; the leaders of Troop 655: Jessica Kjellstrom, Denise Blanchette and Deborah Austin; and, to the leaders of Troop 923: Misty Corsi, Whitney Gilbert and Shayla Markman; the leaders of Troop 2494 in Pine: Jennifer MacFarlane and Arlene Ramirez. Thank you also to Rhonda Evans, neighborhood lead and cookie manager; Susi Tomerlin, registrar; Michell Marinelli, fall product and encampment coordinator; Valina Lusk, secretary; Traci Bishop, coach; Diane Jackson, treasurer and coach; and Marcia Olsen. And, thank you to all the parents that support their girls in Girl Scouting! Thank you all! Your service and dedication are inspiring! Christine Newell, Arizona Cactus-Pine Girl Scout Council camp ranger, Shadow Rim Ranch

Wake up Arizonans – your federal public lands are threatened Editor: Are you aware that our state Legislature is currently evaluating the transfer of our precious federal public lands (i.e., national forests, BLM lands, etc.) to the state? Have the governor and the Legislature critically looked at the current condition of the 9 million acres of Arizona’s “State Trust Lands,” which seriously lack management? How can they expect to take on the extremely complex management (e.g., fire management, forest restoration, etc.) and costs in the millions to manage roughly 30 million acres of federal public lands in Arizona? Considering the sole mandate of State Trust Lands is to generate funds for the schools and education and that these lands are not considered “public land” open to public access without access fees, the only means of offsetting these huge management costs would most likely

be to either sell them for private development or significantly lease large tracts of land for accelerated mining, logging, energy development, and limit public access. As an Arizona native, I strongly value the public access and use of these lands for a multitude of recreational opportunities (e.g., hunting, fishing, camping, etc.) that we as the public have benefited from for over 100 years under federal public land ownership and the concept of “multiple use.” I adamantly oppose proposals to transfer our precious federal public lands to the state. If you feel the same, write the governor and the Arizona Legislature to oppose these proposed actions and research this issue further (See – www.sportsmenaccess.org). Bob Vahle Editor’s note: A story about Senate candidate Nikki Bagley’s qualified endorsement for Proposition 123 in a recent story provoked the following responses on our website.

Kick the can down the road Editor: Proposition 123 is classic kicking the can down the road thinking. The trust fund will be spent fastest as a result of Gov. Ducey’s move. Ducey will brag he did this without raising taxes, which will be true, but for a political party so concerned about the national debt, and we all are, it’s hypocritical in the extreme. The national debt got to where it is today using this very “rob Peter to pay Paul” mentality. If you vote for 123 understand it’s a bad deal for the future, and you are enabling the “let the grandkids pay for it philosophy.”

Editor: It sure looks to me as if she is exactly what the “framers” had in mind (except maybe her gender, of course) when they created our republic, a citizen-servant who steps up and puts oneself on the line. Is she as experienced as Sylvia Allen in politics? Looks like she’s not. Has she been a part of the problem in state government? Definitely not. Has she had her hand out to special interests and dark money donators? Not so far. (I’ll be watching, won’t you?) Does she own charter school(s) and have an interest in profiting off state taxpayer education dollars? Not that I see. What kind of logic can be used to support the status quo Ms. Allen, the apparent enemy of our children’s education? At least Ms. Bagley is not up to her neck in political gamesmanship, profiting off the public, and abusing her position. I say kudos and thank you for wanting to serve Ms. Bagley! Help rid us of those that would use elected office to profit personally. Your willingness to sacrifice your privacy and safe family life, endure the kind of short-sighted criticism of partisan hacks from the “other side” as demonstrated by the two comments above and actually TRY to do something to make this state a better place shows fortitude, courage, and plain grit. Given her likely only opposition (the repugnant incumbent) my decision in this race should be easy. Likewise, why it isn’t a no-brainer for other voters I’ll leave for each to speculate on themselves. But I contend concluding otherwise and voting for the establishment incumbent in THIS case is certainly not basing one’s vote on any sound logic I am aware of.

Septic switcheroo spurs outcry Teresa McQuerrey

roundup staff reporter

A dozen angry residents packed the usually lightly attended Gila County Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday, riled up about a plan to involve the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality in local

Special election planned Eric Mariscal, director of the Gila County elections department, this week requested the supervisors approve an order establishing vote centers and polling places and appoint poll workers and election board members for the May 17 special election. Vote centers are open to all registered voters, regardless of which precinct they live. Any voter may also vote at any polling place, if they use the ADA voting machines with which each poll is equipped. Vote centers in northern Gila County include two in Payson and one in Star Valley. The Payson vote centers are at Expedition Church, 302 S. Ash St. and Ponderosa Bible Church, 1800 N. Beeline Highway; the Star Valley vote center is at Star Valley Baptist Church, 4180 E. Highway 260. Northern Gila County polling places include: Gisela precinct, Gisela Community Center, 136 S. Tatum Trail; Pine Strawberry, both East and West precincts, First Baptist Church of Pine, 4039 N. Highway 87; Tonto Basin precinct, Tonto Basin Chamber of Commerce, 45675 Highway 188; Young precinct, Pleasant Valley Community Center, Highway 288; Zane Grey precinct, Christopher Creek Bible Fellowship Church, 1036 E. Christopher Creek Loop. Whispering Pines precinct voters are doing an all mail election, however, the mail-in ballots can be deposited at the precinct polling place, the East Verde Baptist Church 11209 N. Houston Mesa Rd., Whispering Pines. The polling places and vote centers will be open and staffed from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. election day, Tuesday, May 17.

Culver’s From page 1A Steve said he liked that Culver’s offered a robust training program for new franchisees and gave him the freedom to pick the site for the restaurant. “We are in full control of everything,” he said. Steve initially looked at opening on the corner of North Manzanita Street and East Highway 260 in what was the Thai restaurant, but decided against it because the shopping center wanted him to lease the property and he didn’t think it had enough parking. Steve has purchased the former Pirate’s Cove location and it is 1.3 acres, which provides enough space for plenty of parking and a drive-thru. The restaurant will sit toward the front of the property, near the highway, with parking in the back. “We will have a warm, friendly atmosphere, clean facilities and bathrooms and plenty of parking which will keep our guests coming back,” Steve said. “Every guest that chooses Culver’s leaves happy” is Culver’s mission statement, which helps to make Culver’s the premier franchise in the restaurant business today.” Steve said one of his favorite things is Culver’s custard, which comes in 80 some flavors. Because it contains less air than ice cream, it is creamier and tastes better, Steve said. Culver’s serves its ice cream around 20 degrees, while ice cream is served around 0 degrees. Because it is not as cold, custard does not freeze your taste buds and you experience the flavor better. To apply for a job at the Payson Culver’s, visit www. Culvers.jobs.

wastewater disposal efforts. Heeding the outcry, Supervisor Tommie Martin pulled the proposal from the consent agenda to allow comment. Gila County Supervisor Chairman Mike Pastor agreed to move the item to the top of the agenda to let people vent. Health and Emergency Services Director Michael O’Driscoll had placed the item on the agenda. He suggested tabling the issue until he and his staff could have a face-toface meeting with the public. However, when directly asked by citizens why he had made the proposal at the April 19 meeting, he was unresponsive. Martin said she did not know if those attending Tuesday morning could get together again, so wanted to give them a chance to address the board at that point. Speaking against the proposal were several certified engineers that work with the design and

construction of varying sizes of wastewater treatment plants (from individual septic systems to facilities serving multiple residents in subdivisions). Their work has given them a great deal of experience dealing with ADEQ and very little of it has been satisfactory. All said the state is painfully slow in taking action on its required permits; unresponsive in helping find solutions when problems are encountered; and uninformed about local conditions. Several of the speakers said working with ADEQ instead of local authorities would require extended travel and time to have plans reviewed and paperwork handled. All praised the county staff members they currently work with in northern Gila County and called the process currently in place a model for every other county in the state. A couple of the speakers

chastised the county for putting the matter on the consent agenda. After the meeting, Martin said it never should have been on consent; the supervisors had not even had a chance to see the proposal. The supervisors directed O’Driscoll and his staff to review the proposal and come back to the board. County roadwork

The BOS authorized its public works division to request bids for work on several northern Gila County roads: Forest Service Road No. 512 (Cherry Creek Hill area); Hunter Creek Drive; and Colcord Road. The work consists of removing existing asphalt and aggregate base material and replacing the removed sections with new 2-1/2-inch asphalt concrete sections on top of a 4-inch aggregate base course at various locations on the identified roads.

Are you a “Do it Yourselfer?” Here are a few great Spring projects. The springtime is often the best time of the year for cleaning up and getting rid of old items, but with its proximity to the winter months it can still be hard to commit to large-scale renovations. If you're looking for some small fixes to give your home a seasonal boost, here are a few suggestions that won't take up a lot of time. Freshen Up the Window Frames

Paint can instantly enhance the brightness of any room, but deciding to repaint can be a job that takes more than just a weekend. Instead of committing to everything all at once, paint your window frames for a task that is cheap and doesn't require a huge expenditure of time. Since the eyes will naturally be drawn to the windows in any room, this will serve to improve your space without all the work that goes into sanding and taping everything.

Add an Accent with Wallpaper

A creative, striking way to upgrade the look of your home is a wallpaper accent that will be easy to install, but add trendy appeal to your home's aesthetics. Instead of going for the same old thing, choose a wallpaper with a funky design to the area of your choice. By placing it behind a mirror or another picture, you'll add a lot of oomph without all of the effort that goes into completely repapering a wall. It's important to ensure you use adhesive wallpaper that can be repositioned in the event your first attempt doesn't work out.

Replace an Old Fixture

It doesn't necessarily take a lot of legwork to easily revamp a stale space, so consider a light fixture that will instantly draw the eye and can serve as a high-impact piece that really sets the tone for your chosen space. While you'll want to choose something that won't completely contrast with the style already present, the right piece can really enhance and modernize what you already have. Remember it's important to turn off the breakers before you start installing anything electrical. The idea of home renovations can make people think of large scale projects that consume a lot of time, but there are plenty of little things to be done that will make big changes with minimal effort. If you're making some upgrades and are preparing to put your home on the market, you may want to contact one of our real estate professionals for more information.

Payson district approves online classes by

The Payson Unified School District board voted to add Mesa Distance Learning to the mix of options available to students at PUSD. “What we are recommending is approval of Mesa Distance Learning,” said Greg Wyman, superintendent. “It is another option for our students.” Wyman said the district originally started using MDL a couple of years ago when it struggled to find a Spanish teacher. Since that time, the district has found a Spanish teacher and has added an online component through Odysseyware and Payson Center for Success. The vote did not come without some questions, however. Jim Quinlan asked if MDL offers any Advanced Placement courses.

This launched a discussion on how students can access AP courses. “Both of our online programs offer an AP curriculum,” said Wyman. He said that offering AP classes at the high school can be a challenge between the need to have at least 12 students to make the class financially viable and a teacher with the qualifications to teach the class. In fact, this year, the high school again did not have enough students to offer AP Calculus, but the school sought an option for students regardless. “We have worked with Dean Butterfield (of Gila Community College) to change the schedule,” said Wyman. “They pushed it (the schedule) back a half-hour for us, (but) part of the problem is that our kids are very active.” He went on to explain that many students have sports or other school activities after

school, so they could not take the class. MDL and the other online options make more AP classes available, said Wyman. He cautioned, though, that the new ASPIRE scholarship program to bring college level courses onto the high school campus for dual credit did not take the place of AP classes. “There has been a question … is the AP program going away with ASPIRE?” he said. Wyman told the board he has had many parents call with that concern. He explained that the new dual credit options available through a scholarship with the ASPIRE Foundation will not remove AP options. “This expands the opportunities for kids,” said Wyman. “We’re looking at multiple ways to challenge kids.” For now, PUSD will hold the Mesa Distance Learning program as an option if they need it.

Students get down to business at conference The Payson High School (PHS) Information Technology Academy (ITA) Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) chapter came home from the Arizona FBLA State Leadership Conference (April 4-6) in Tucson with plenty of gold. Fifteen PHS ITA FBLA students competed against more than 2,000 students. Students competed in more than 60 events, but the ITA students concentrated on the Information Technology events. Their ITA teacher and FBLA adviser, Bud Evans, helps his students shine in this arena. Because of the great support, six students have earned the right to compete this summer at FBLA National in Atlanta, Ga. The PHS FBLA chapter completed a list of year-long achievements which awarded them the highest level of gold. The Computer Network Design earned a first place, which will send them to the national competition. The team included Marshall Parsons, Kevin Price and Tristen Cline. This event involves three parts. First, the team must be in the top 15 in a multiple-choice test. Next, they are given 20 minutes to create a solution to a computer network problem given to them by the competition. IT pro-

fessionals then see a presentation of the team’s solution. Scott Moody of SmartSystems played an important role coaching the team to help them focus on what they learned in the classroom. “Thank you, Scott,” said students. The national competition serves as the capstone to Senior and PHS FBLA Chapter President Parsons’ years in FBLA. He has many positive thoughts about his experiences. “It has been a great four years in Mr. Evans’ computer classes,” he said. “I have learned so much and look forward to using it in my future career in the Air Force. I will always remember my time in FBLA as a great experience.” Dexter Tiffany placed second at state in the Introduction to Information Technology testing event. He will also compete at the national conference. Samuel Doria came in 10th place in this event, but unfortunately that placement will not send him to Atlanta. The sophomore Computer Design class sent Sierra Seaborn and Matthew McCarty as a team to state. They were awarded 5th place and earned the right to represent Arizona with the computer game they spent many hours developing.

“I am impressed with the complexity of the game,” said Evans. Sophomore McCarty expressed excitement about the opportunity to compete in nationals. “This is an amazing experience and a fun time to learn so much,” he said. “It will be great to compete at nationals with the best the U.S. has to offer. I look forward to being in the Network Maintenance class next year and be on the network design team.” In addition to the Network Design team, Parsons received fourth place in the Computer Problem Solving event and Kevin Price won second place in Cyber

Longhorns locked in wild 10-10 baseball slugfest in Holbrook Suspended after 10 inn. by darkness by

Keith Morris

roundup sports editor

Payson’s baseball team is tied up in a wild game in Holbrook. Still. The Longhorns traveled to Holbrook for a Division 3 Section 1 showdown with the Roadrunners on Tuesday but got back on the bus with nothing settled. The teams found themselves in a 10-10 tie when the game was suspended because of darkness after 10 innings. As of the Roundup’s deadline on Wednesday night, no date to finish the game had been determined. Payson head coach Brian Young was hoping the Longhorns could work out a plan to finish the game on the same day that they play the final game of the regular season at Snowflake on Tuesday. Holbrook jumped out to a 6-1 lead through two innings but the Longhorns scored once in three different innings to cut the deficit to 6-4. However, the home team answered with three runs in the sixth to re-build its five-run lead. That’s when the visitors showed the same kind of heart they displayed in battling back after blowing a lead against Show Low twice to stun the Cougars in nine innings last week. Payson erupted for six runs in the top of the seventh to grab a 10-9 lead. After the first batter was retired, Jake Beeler singled, David Card doubled and Ruben Estrada singled in Beeler. Koy Duran was

hit by a pitch to load the bases and a Taran Sarnowski walk drove in Card. Carl Adcock capped the big frame with a grand slam. But Holbrook came back to score with two outs in the bottom of the seventh to force extra innings and neither team scored in the next three innings. As of Wednesday, Holbrook stood at No. 13 in the D3 state power rankings that seed the state tournament. Payson was No. 18. “It was an exciting game and I was really impressed that our guys didn’t give up at the end and worked to take the lead,” Young said. “Holbrook is a good team, ahead of us in the rankings right now. If we can go back and steal a win it will be a big boost for us.” The skipper was impressed by what he saw from Adcock and those who got on before him in the big seventh-inning rally. “Carl’s home run to take the lead was just a great piece of hitting,” Young said. “He hit it to the opposite field and just crushed the ball. It was set up by some really nice at-bats before him where guys worked the count and kept the game going.” The Longhorns were scheduled to play their annual game against No. 44 Page at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick on Thursday, April 21. They host No. 17 Winslow in a section game today at 6 p.m. and close the home schedule against No. 31 San Tan Valley Combs in a non-section contest at 6 p.m. on Monday. The team’s seniors will be recognized before the game.

Payson Rotarian Track Meet turns 50 on Saturday by

Keith Morris

roundup sports editor

Few things stay the same over five decades. And that’s certainly the case with the Payson Rotarian Track Meet, which has been part of Payson High’s track season for most of the past half century. Once one of the premier varsity track meets in Arizona attracting as many as 44 teams from around the state, this year’s 50th Annual Payson Rotarian Meet features Payson and just three other schools — Flagstaff Coconino, Lakeside Blue Ridge and Queen Creek. One thing that makes this meet unique is that it’s limited to freshmen and sophomores. Roundup archives indicate that after years as a premier varsity meet, it was canceled for a time but returned as a freshman-sophomore event in 1999. Former Roundup sports editor Max Foster coached at Show Low before coming to the Roundup. “I remember in my Show Low days going to Payson for it because it was such a bigtime meet,” Foster said. “It drew teams from all over the state and was one of Arizona’s premier meets. Some big big names competed in it. “The meet gradually lost its luster because the track was dirt and coaches of premier athletes didn’t want to risk injury, so they gradually stopped coming. One of the selling points of getting a new track was that it would

return the Rotary Invitational to what it once was. But that hasn’t happened.” Just 10 years ago more than 750 ninth- and 10th-grade athletes from 20 schools participated according to a Roundup story on the 2006 meet. Payson head coach Jonathan Ball likes the freshman-sophomore aspect of the meet. “It was my understanding that this was the first freshman-sophomore meet (in Arizona),” Ball said. And I have been committed to keep with tradition.” In Ball’s second season as head coach, Payson moved the meet to the beginning of the season. “That worked great for two years,” he said. “Unfortunately in year three we woke up to four inches of snow on the track. The next few years it was a little tougher getting teams to come early in the season. And last year (assistant coach) Dan Reid moved it back to the end of the season and we ended up with six teams. This year we had up to seven commitments but have lost a few and are down to four. “Luckily we have Queen Creek and Coconino that are a little bigger and will bring quite a few athletes. So we are looking at the same number of athletes as last year.” The years of attracting 40-plus schools may be a thing of the past, but Ball said he hopes the meet continues to grow. “High school track and field is so traditional and we have a great tradition with the fresh-

The Payson Town Council Thursday night approved an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) between the town, Star Valley and the Rim Country Educational Alliance for legal services. The RCEA board had already approved the IGA for legal services. The Star Valley Town Council is scheduled to vote on it at its May 3 meeting. Should any of the entities need legal counsel they can now turn to each other for help. That need may arise due to a conflict of interest, when an attorney goes on vacation, a vacancy, illness or a lapse in legal knowledge on a particular topic or area of law. Representation would be offered on a “limited basis” and the IGA will be in effect for five years. Just because the entities have agreed to help each other out, they aren’t doing it for free. Employee compensation will be $65 an hour. Last month, the town approved an agreement that lets it pool resources with other cities and towns. This is its first IGA between entities. Town Attorney Hector Figueroa said he plans to approach Flagstaff for a legal IGA in the future. Sedona and Flagstaff recently completed a legal IGA.

Lois always had the pub open, and friends were welcome to stop by for a strong drink (or two), a light snack, and the latest “news” from the neighborhood. She requested that she be cremated, her ashes distributed, and that there be no public memorial. She found flowers depressing, but donations can be made in her name to the Humane Society of Payson, or you can simply raise a glass (or maybe two) in her memory.

He moved to Payson when he retired in 1990 and became an accomplished woodworker, making beautiful accent shelves, game boards, fireplace bellows, kitchen/hunting knives and accessories. His family and friends have a huge array of memorable gifts made by him. Ote will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

Naughton My dear wife, Patti, passed away on Saturday, April 16, 2016. It wasn’t an unexpected event, Patti has been suffering for the past threeand-a-half years from a terrible disease — ALS, Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Patti was born in Phoenix, Ariz. on May 4, 1947. She attended Papago Grade School, North Phoenix High School and Phoenix College. Patti worked for many years as a medical assistant at Scottsdale Dermatology. Aside from 12 years in the Pacific Northwest, Patti lived in Arizona, the past nine years in Payson. She was proud of her Arizona heritage being the great-granddaughter of Arizona pioneer, William Kirkland. Patti loved being on the board of the Northern Arizona Historical Society, a Vestry Leader at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, a member of the P.E.O. Sisterhood and many more organizations. Patti was amazed at the outpouring of affection and assistance she received during her battle with ALS. She was distressed that she couldn’t cook me dinner any longer, and the food brigade was formed by friends and organizations from across the community. The hours of reading from her dear friends was a peaceful time that helped with the endless boredom. It broke her heart to turn away visitors toward the end. She told me that small-town living was very special. Patti was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Carl

“Jack” Murphy and Ann Murphy. Patti is survived by her husband, John Naughton; her two children, Kim Rice and Jason Christy; grandchildren Emily Christy, Delaney Rice and Parker Rice; and her sister, Marilyn Woods (husband Jerry and nieces Tara and Margo). Patti and I met the summer between 7th and 8th grade and were “boyfriend-girlfriend” through the middle of our freshman year in high school. After taking different paths and raising separate families, we reconnected and fell in love for a second time. When our children from previous marriages started their own families, Patti loved all the grandchildren as if they were her own. So, Emily Christy, Delaney and Parker Rice and Sierra and Sedona Ashton, you were the love of your “Totsi’s” life. You were her heart and soul, you all are what helped her bear her difficult days. Here is what she told me were some of her favorite things: Emily’s wisdom, Delaney’s determination, Parker’s kindheartedness, Sierra’s poise, Sedona’s independence. Make her proud. Services will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, April 30 in the chapel at Messinger Mortuary. Lunch will be served following, in the community room. In lieu of flowers, should you care to make a donation in her name to Patti’s grandchildren’s college fund, please make check to CollegeAmerica and send to Kevin Dick Investments, 620 E. Highway 260, Payson, AZ 85541.

The Rim’s mysterious dividing line Story and Photos by Greg McKelvey

geologist/photographer

Here’s a good question: What is the Mogollon Rim? To the families suffering from the summer heat, the Rim is a cool (kool too!) place to camp and fish. To the hikers, it is wonderful trails below, on and north of the escarpment edge in cool pine forests. It’s where winter visitors can frolic in snow for the first time, hunters draw tags for elk, bear, turkey, deer and families can cut a Christmas tree. Topographically, it is a massive break in the earth’s surface stretching diagonally across Arizona into New Mexico. The sheer escarpment is nearly 2,000 feet high. For photographers the Rim is a popular destination. It offers enormous variety for photographers, including all the sloped and drainages below the crest of the Rim, the vistas from it looking south, east and west from the edge, the lakes and sheerwalled canyons that drain north, and one of the premier fall color areas. Monsoon weather, rainbows, snow, fast moving clouds, summer explosions of wild flowers, the Rim draws a crowd in all four seasons. The question I hear the most is why is it there? Geologists see the Rim as the transition zone between the quiet tablelands of the Colorado Plateau and massive tectonics of the basin and range of the southern deserts. In boring technical terms, the Mogollon Rim formed 30 million to 5 million years ago as a result of a series or fractures that stretched and thinned the crust. It divides two very different landscapes. This transition zone has created major contrasts in the distribution of population, agriculture, industry, water supply, and tourist attractions. Locally, the uplift and stretching of the crust to create the Rim runs along the Diamond Rim fault, which runs parallel to the Rim and was active between 25 million years and 15 million years ago. The fault forms one of the steps leading up to the Rim and runs about eight miles northeast of Payson. It’s why we’re sitting on a shelf with a wonderful view of the Rim, before the drop off into the Tonto Basin. The Rim remains somewhat mysterious even to geologists. To the north, lies a huge block of the earth’s crust that has remained basically stable for 600 million years or so, leaving all those neatly horizontal layers in the Grand Canyon, Navajo Reservation and Petrified Forest. But to the south

Mogollon Rim: What is it?

• See What is the Rim? page 10B

Magic on the Rim The Mogollon Rim divides the state geologically, culturally, physically, ecologically. Caused by a stretching and thinning of the crust in the past 30 million years, the Rim divides the quiet, layered highlands from the jumbled, active lowlands — pine forest from saguaro desert. The Rim also offers photographers a dramatic setting, thanks to the stormy skies and diverse habitats created by the 2,000-foot-tall escarpment stretching from the Grand Canyon into New Mexico.

This golf outing has had various names for the last 30 years. It started as the Creekside Open in the late 1980s and hence evolved into the Camp Tatiyee, the Christopher Creek Lions, the Rusty Cooper Memorial and is now the 13th annual Eagles Top of the Rim Tournament. Patty and Larry Boeschling from out at OW Ranch have been involved or in charge for 24 years. The tournament is May 21 and you can call Patty at 928535-5148 for details. It’s a great time if it doesn’t snow! Up at Creekside last Saturday folks gathered to honor Dan Christian. The crowded back room listened as Curt, a longtime friend and co-worker at Mesa Schools, told us of Dan’s 21-year-long career as a USAF fighter pilot with tours all over the world. Dan, Tamara, Tracie and the rest of the family wore the hats he collected from each country. Dan and Tamara both gave a nice tribute to their

dad. Peggy and David Donavan have lived in Hunter Creek for about 10 years. Last Saturday evening we spoke with Peggy about her love of this locale and the joy they have when the grandkids come to visit. She supports the idea that the Christopher Creek area is home for freerange kids! Angela and daughter, Ava, two-anda-half, were here last weekend. She told of her memories growing up in the Creek along with her sister, Dawn. They stayed at the Gruber “tree house” on lower Columbine back in their younger days. Don Farmer came by mid-week with further good news on the progress on the 1970 Flood Memorial. The project may well be on track for a Labor Day dedication to mark the 46th anniversary of that event. Chuck Schmitt has spent some time in the hospital for a couple procedures. He wasn’t happy with his extended stay and said it seemed like being just put on a shelf until they were ready to work on him. Glad he is doing well ... and that’s another week in the Creek.

Characters Under the Rim – Julia Viola Randall, Part 2 Beloved Payson school teacher Julia Randall considered her family to include all the many children that passed under her tutelage. She began her career at age 17 teaching in Star Valley, her second year was at Pine, and after that she was appointed to the Payson School. However, after one month she came down with acute appendicitis and was laid up for almost a year. She returned to teaching in Payson in the fall of 1923 and became a fixture there until her retirement after 46 years in the profession. Julia had a lovely voice and as a girl she had desired to become a professional singer. Although life took her in a different direction she did sing at many local weddings and funerals. She continued her education attending classes at the university in Tempe though making that trip could be unsettling. One time while returning up the Apache Trail by stage she missed her connec-

a good breakfast before you came to school another note was written to your parents.” Billy Haught, grandson of Zane Grey’s guide Anderson Lee Haught, lived on Oak Street near the school. He recalled how Miss Randall would gather up the boys and girls and lead them to Sunday school each week. Reflecting on those days he said, “God blessed us when Miss Julia Randall came here ... Those of you who do not know her cannot imagine the love and dedication of this woman.” Town historian Jinx Pyle recalled attending first grade at the Rock School. “At that time Miss Randall taught first and second grades in the same classroom. She would get us first-graders started on something like learning our ABCs, then she would work with the second -graders. After the second-graders finished their work, then they helped the first-graders ... She was loved by all of us (and) taught us much more than

the regular school subjects ... She was a wonderful woman who instilled in us obedience and patriotism.” On May 17, 1969 Julia Randall retired after completing 50 years of teaching in the Rim Country. The Chamber of Commerce declared that “Julia Randall Day” and a banquet was held. The School Board then named the old Rock School the Julia Randall Elementary School. She had taught there from the day it first opened in 1933. Miss Julia continued an active retirement in the community before she died on March 8, 1990. She was buried in the Payson Pioneer Cemetery and the newspaper solemnly headlined, “Goodbye Miss Julia.” A lengthy article by her friend Carroll Cox ended, “You will be missed by many who appreciated your indomitable spirit, your strength of character and your unswerving dedication to instilling a sense of responsibility and good citizenship in generations of Northern Gila County students.”

The motion to send the qualifiers to the nationals passed 4-0. Although the official list of those who will represent PineStrawberry in the nationals has not been released, some of the team’s best archers all season long have been Jordan Wain, Raci Mirandi, Caleb Barlow, MacKenzie Aguon, Emma Paine, Cash York, Kendall Brooks, Josie Cotrell and others. During the upcoming shoot, qualifiers will participate in both 3-D and 10-15 meters target com-

The Justice McNeeley Foun dation’s Fourth Annual Casino Day will be held from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., tomorrow, Saturday, April 23 at the Sportsman’s Chalet in Strawberry. The entry donation is $15 per person with additional buy-ins, or donations, available for purchase. Games will include blackjack, roulette, craps and Texas Hold ’em. There will also be raffle items, a live auction, 50/50 raffle and a myriad of prizes given away. Justice McNeeley Foundation member Katie Parks promises “a whole lot of fun.” The Justice McNeeley Foun dation was established in 2004 to earn the $8,500 needed to buy Justice, then an engaging, witty 5-year-old who suffered from spinal muscular atrophy, a motorized wheelchair called a Go-Bot. The fundraiser was an overwhelming success, Justice got his

Go-Bot and organizers were so happy with the results they decided to continue the foundation, adopting a motto of “Help Us Help a Child.” Since the inception of the benefit, the fund has doled out thousands of dollars to help pay the medical expenses of needy Rim Country children. All donations are 100 percent tax deductible and the foundation is a 501(c)(3). Shiver me timbers!

Isabelle Hunt Memorial Library staff and volunteers are hosting a “Pirates Party” for readers 5-10 years of age from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., Wednesday, May 18 inside the library. A variety of activities are planned including a very special treasure hunt. Refreshments will be served. Library assistant Junetta Clifford initiated the “party” saying she wanted to explore the world of pirates by reading different stories to them throughout the month. At the May 18 reading, all the children will receive their own eye patches and hear a story. They will also do a pirate craft and participate in a treasure hunt in which they will be guided by secret clues. “Just another fun learning activity,” said library manager Becky Waer. Pine Strawberry School stu-

Aspiring chess masters will soon have the opportunity to hone their playing skills in a chess club being formed at the Isabelle Hunt Memorial Library. The club will meet from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Fridays beginning on June 3. Members must be at least 10 years old. Library manager Becky Waer says the club was formed for those who want to learn to play chess, those who play but don’t have regular partners and others who do not own a chess set. She also touts the club as a great way to meet new friends. Also at the library, “Artist in Training” sessions for children will be held Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays throughout the month of April. The program involves students making independent art projects. The children’s agenda at the library also includes “Story Time” at 10:15 a.m. each Wednesday throughout the month and “Lego Times” at 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. each Thursday. Advance permits needed

With the new month just eight days away, those planning a summer outing into the Fossil Creek wilderness will need to obtain special use permits. From May 1 to Oct. 1, advance permits will be required to park a vehicle in the Fossil Creek area. The permit allows parking for one vehicle at one of nine designated parking lots. During the five-month period, a maximum of six permits per person will be allowed. A permit guarantees a parking space within a lot, but not a specific parking space which are on a first-come, first-served basis. Permits are not required Oct. 2 through April 30. Two roads lead to the creek, one of them just a few miles from Strawberry has been closed which means visitors must hike a 5-mile trail to reach the water. The other access is via a long gravel road that begins off the Camp Verde road. This road eliminates the long hike to reach the creek, but it often reaches capacity by early morning.

Wire nails? I was positive I was right on this one. Hammering out nails by hand, or cutting nails out of a piece of sheet steel with a hammer and chisel is one thing, but making wire nails call for some fancy machines, and I could not see them any time before 1925 or 1930. Oh well! Live and learn. “Wire nail, roughly 1860 to the present.” Safety pins? At least this one was fun to read. In 1849, American mechanic Walter Hunt needed to settle a $15 debt with a friend so he decided to invent something to pay it off. He got some wire, invented the safety pin, patented it, sold the patent to W. R. Grace and Company for $400, and paid his debt. You know what $400 back then is equal to today? $10,000! Zippers? I was sure I had them this time, but Whitcomb Judson, another American, invented a “chain-lock fastener” which was displayed at

the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair. It met with no immediate commercial success, but was “beyond argument the original zipper.” Scissors? By this time I didn’t have much confidence left. And it was good thing too! Wiki says, “It is most likely that scissors were invented around 1500 B.C. in ancient Egypt.” Sandpaper? I still had a faint hope, but Wikipedia said, “The first recorded use of sandpaper was in 1st-century China when crushed shells, seeds, and sand were bonded to parchment using natural gum.” Pencils? “Around 1560 an Italian couple named Simonio and Lyndiana Bernacotti made what were the first blueprints for the modern, wood-encased carpentry pencil.” Tweezers? Oh, boy! “Tweezers are known to have been used in predynastic Egypt. Asiatic tweezers, consist-

ing of two strips of metal brazed together, were commonly used in Mesopotamia and India from about 3000 B.C., perhaps for purposes such as catching lice.” Pocket combs? I thought I might have them on this one. I could see some enterprising Egyptian or somebody carving a large comb out of a branch, but I doubted they could make anything very small. “Combs are among the oldest tools found by archaeologists, having been discovered in very refined forms from settlements dating back to 5,000 years ago in Persia.” Well, if you’re going to be wrong you might as well be good and wrong. But missing the time by 5,000 years? That takes talent! :-)

Jeri J’s Indian Fry Bread now at Western Village by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

It’s got a new home and a new color scheme, but more importantly, inside the fry bread at Jeri J’s has not changed. Jeri Ann Johnson-DeCola and JJ DeCola recently relocated their Indian Fry Bread food truck into town after spending decades at the Tonto Apache Indian Reservation. The school bus is no longer the couple’s trademark vivid orange, but a more subdued peachy color, with turquoise accents to better fit into its new digs at Western Village, an antique shop that also hosts the KMOG radio station in one wing. The couple said they always dreamed of moving their business into town since it offers better exposure on the highway and a chance to reach more customers. But when the couple approached the town several years ago, they hit one roadblock after the other and gave up their efforts to open near what is now Susie’s Q BBQ. A few months ago, JJ attended a town council meeting and vocally discussed the resistance they had encountered. Then a few weeks later, the town had cleared the way for their move. The move wasn’t cheap, though. The fire department required that they install a $7,000 hood inside the bus and they had to make other changes to meet requirements. Still, the effort was worth it. The vivacious couple is nothing but smiles as they talk about their beloved business and customers. They regularly see patrons from all over the world and many

Jeri Johnson-DeCola and JJ DeCola recently moved their Fry Bread food truck to a new location at Western Village. more loyal locals. Many passing through town who stop to check the food truck out have never tried Indian fry bread before. In fact, when the couple first met, JJ had never had the tasty fried treat. JJ, a Boston native, met Jeri, a Payson native, through friends. The couple had their first date in the casino’s snack bar. Jeri said she wasn’t sure about JJ at first and opted out of a second date. But when she met JJ again, she agreed to give him another chance. They married and Jeri moved to Pine where JJ was running a bed and breakfast. In 2001, Jeri set up a food

booth at the Tonto Apache Tribe’s first powwow. It was a big success and Jeri started selling her fry bread casually on the weekends. She used her mother’s recipe with a few adjustments of her own. “I put a lot of love into it and blessings,” she said. Jeri grew up in Rim Country in a simple tin-roofed home that had no plumbing or electricity. Her mother would make fry bread over an open fire. “From these humble beginnings, Jeri learned that even when ingredients were scarce, she could create a special dish when it was made with love and care,” according to her website. You can find Jeri inside the school bus most days still making her fry bread by hand, forming them into thin and light discs. Fry bread is served several ways, including with meat and beans and toppings as a

meal, with honey for dessert and sometimes, with red or green chili pork. Jeri’s fry bread got so popular, the couple decided in 2011 to bag the mix and sell it. Today, the 12-ounce packages are available at several local locations, at the Heard Museum in Phoenix and they are in talks to get it into a Las Vegas hotel

gift shop. To make, just add water and fry. The couple say while they are thrilled to finally be in town, they are thankful that the tribe let them park their bus on-site for years and get the business started. At the new location, JJ had a large eagle mounted to the front

of the bus, painted red, white and blue. “The eagle has landed,” he said, at 1104 S. Beeline Highway. “The new home of Jeri J’s Indian Fry Bread.” Jeri J’s is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday through Sunday. If they sell out, they close early.

than California’s and draw a lot of that market, Orr said. University of Arizona geography Professor David Plane echoed Orr. “There is a huge price difference between Arizona and California, and affordable housing is a big attraction with moving,” said Plane, whose studies include demographics. He said the relationship with California has helped drive the Arizona economy for the last several years. Plane said another factor that contributes to the state’s population growth is Arizona’s reputation as a “mecca for retirement” — which may also play a part in Maricopa County’s role as a leader in domestic migration gains. “Old migration is more demographically effective,” he said of retirees moving to the state, “because oftentimes it is their final destination and that adds to the potential to have a lot of net migration.”

Department of Real Estate appeared to back that up, showing a 3.67 percent increase in real estate licenses from last February to this February, according to Assistant Commissioner of Operations and Legislative Affairs Louis Dettorre. “Additionally, the ADRE (Arizona Department of Real Estate) has seen an increase in public report amendment applications by 19 percent from the same month last year, which reflects developer and homebuilder activity,” Dettorre said in an email. Some analysts believe much of the gain in Arizona comes from neighboring California. “Arizona is much cheaper to live in than California,” said Mike Orr, real estate analyst and founder and CEO of the Cromford Report which provides analysis of the Arizona real estate market. Even though Arizona’s rental prices are on the rise, they are still cheaper

Statistics from the Arizona

WASHINGTON – Arizona’s population grew by nearly 100,000 in 2015, driven largely by growth in Maricopa County which saw the second-largest increase among counties in the nation, according to new Census Bureau estimates. The bureau’s 2015 population estimates for counties and metro areas also said that Maricopa finished first in the nation for net domestic migration growth for the year, or people moving in from other areas of the country. The growth brought the state’s overall population to an estimated 6.83 million residents as of July 1. Most of the growth was in Maricopa, which gained 77,925 residents from the year before. About half of those, or 37,670 were attributed to domestic migration. But Maricopa was not the only county to see an increase in 2015, as 10 of

the state’s 15 counties posted gains that year. Experts said they were not surprised by the state’s growth, which they attributed to the usual lures of good climate, low taxes and affordable cost of living, particularly when compared to neighboring California.

I have hair for days and that’s no lie. I’m that cool cat that will stick by your side and have my flawless mane whirling away in the wind. If you want to cuddle, you can count me in.

I know my color is off; I have been told many times. But have you ever seen a more beautiful dog? Like my alias, I was a stray and alone until a man found me and brought me in. I have learned to trust the guys that take care of me every day. Everybody here has fallen in love with me. I’m a calm girl that loves being taken on walks. On the bright side, I’m easy to walk with. Don’t worry about fighting off those villainous stains from piddle spots in the house. I’m highly trained in that area.

The Rim is sunsets and sunrise, fall colors, fog and clouds, rainbows, sand and limestone cliffs, wildlife, flowers, snow and storms. The Mogollon Rim country is people hunting, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, camping, birding, and snowshoeing, cross country skiing, boating, riding bulls and roping a calf.

It is the unique Rim Country.
