Meteor blasts into atmosphere above Rim Country by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

Around 4 a.m. on June 2, a boom and bright light in the sky awakened people in and around Rim Country.

NASA called the cause of the event a small asteroid. Based on eyewitness

accounts, scientists estimate the size at 10 feet in diameter, with a mass of 10 tons.

Whatever the exact size, local resident Tim Cotton said he’s never been so scared in his life — especially since he’s ex-military. He was starting work at The Door Stop just about ready to clock

in at 4 a.m. when he saw it.

“All of a sudden, it became brighter than daylight,” he said. “The first thing that came to mind, ‘Who is going to bomb Payson?’ It sounded like a bomb with a flare and a fireball, pink and red and the flames were pouring over it.”

Cotton said it took all of two seconds

for him to watch it move away toward what he thought was California.

Instead, the meteor broke apart and landed somewhere outside of Show Low, according to NASA. Cotton wasn’t the only one in Payson that had concerns. Four people called the Payson Police Department between

the hours of 3:59 a.m. and 4:11 a.m. to report either an explosion or lights outside of their homes.

Officers followed up on each call.

Not all feared this event. Laurence Garvie, research professor at ASU’s

Six people are running for three spots on the Payson Town Council in August and two are vying for the mayor’s seat.

Candidates had to turn in their signatures for council and mayor by Wednesday to appear on the Aug. 30 primary ballot.

Craig Swartwood and Michael Hughes are both running for mayor, a two-year term. Swartwood served two terms as Payson’s mayor in the early ’90s and Hughes is currently the town vice mayor.

For council, only incumbent Richard Croy is running for another four-year term. Councilor John Wilson chose not to run again.

New council candidates are Barbara Underwood, Hallie Overman-Jackman, Janell Sterner, Kim Chittick and Tracy Fitzpatrick.

Town Clerk Sylvia Smith said each candidate had to turn in between 124 and 248 signatures to make the ballot.

To win a seat, candidates must garner at least 50 percent of the votes, plus 1. If needed, a runoff will occur during the general election in November.

Mayor Kenny Evans announced he will not run for re-election and has opted to seek a seat on the three-member Gila County Board of Supervisors instead.

Councilors Su Connell, Fred Carpenter and Chris Higgins’ seats will appear on the 2018 election.

The Pivot Rock Fire near Pine has grown to more than 5,000 acres, but remains contained by burnout operations.

With above-normal temperatures expected this weekend, fire managers are closely watching several lightning-sparked forest fires.

Crews are so far pleased with how the fire south of Payson and several on the Mogollon Rim are burning.

Officials are letting the fires burn within contained areas to help eliminate low-level fuels, which should help prevent future larger blazes and benefit the health of the forest.

The biggest fire in the area is the Juniper Fire 10 miles south of Young.

That fire started May 17 and was at 12,682 acres as of Thursday afternoon.

There are 403 crew members working the fire, including several firefighters from Payson, Houston Mesa and Christopher Creek fire departments.

Because of the fire, State Route 288 is closed. The road will be open temporarily on Friday and Saturday between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., with a pilot vehicle escorting traffic.

Bear drawn by trash claws camper in Young by

Peter Aleshire

roundup editor

A man in his 20s was injured early Wednesday morning when a bear scratched him through his sleeping bag in a dispersed camping area near Cherry Creek in Young.

The bear was investigating the man’s camp and apparently injured the man when pawing at the sleeping bag. The bear reportedly “nibbled” at his backside through the sleeping bag — breaking the skin.

Campers responded to the man’s cries for help with noise and bear spray and the animal retreated.

The man was seen at a local hospital and released.

Game and Fish officials said it sounded like the bear was young — and attracted to the campground by improperly stored food and trash.

Investigators discovered several bears had come into the campground during the Memorial Day weekend, drawn by trash and food left out in the open.

Game and Fish officers trapped and euthanized the black bear. The subadult (1-1/2 to 2-1/2 year-old) male bear was caught in a culvert trap set by a highly trained team of wildlife officers. They confirmed this was the bear involved in the incident based on descriptions from other campers and because it had a unique hind

paw pad that matched tracks found at the scene. The bear was euthanized per department policy because it attacked a human and was deemed a threat to public safety.

The Anasazi Foundation uses the campground as part of its program. After the incident, campers said several bears had been seen in the campground area over the Memorial Day weekend. At least three different bears were identified by the campers as coming into camp and raiding food sources. The bears did not fully retreat when bear spray was used.

Unfortunately, campers did not notify officials of this bear activity, vacate the area or remove the food sources after the sightings, according to an Arizona Game and Fish Department release.

The department asks people to report any nuisance bear activity immediately and recommends that all campers take a few simple precautions to protect both people and bears, including securing all potential food sources. Campsite food sources can include uncleaned barbecues, used plates, discarded wrappers, food stores and pet food. Bears have a very keen sense of smell — approximately seven times better than a bloodhound and 100 times better than a human.

‘Dark money’ laws loosen regulations on special interests Lawmakers’ ploy designed to frustrate referendum by

roundup editor

The U.S. Supreme Court upended campaign finance reform several years ago with its controversial Citizens United decision, which opened the floodgates to virtually unlimited corporate and speTHE WEATHER Weekend: Sunny and hot, highs hovering around 100, overnight lows in the low 60s.

cial interest campaign spending without even having to disclose the source of the money.

Since then, “dark money” spending by shadowy independent groups has increasingly dominated elections. Arizona Public Service gained notoriety in the last election cycle by spending heavily through a still unacknowledged dark money campaign to help two members of the Arizona Corporation Commission who set utility rates. APS reportedly spent some $3.2 million to influence the race, dwarfing all other spending by the candidates themselves — and a second, “dark money” group funded by solar energy companies that supported the Democrats in the race.

“Dark money” campaigns also benefited Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, Arizona Attorney General Mark Bronovich and a host of other candidates. Gov. Ducey benefited from an estimated $8 million in spending by dark money groups. Most incumbents — including all three of Rim Country’s represen-

tatives — also benefited from campaigns by dark money groups not required to disclose their donors.

The U.S. Supreme Court in Citizens United ruled that corporations and special interest groups have free speech rights equivalent to individuals — but hinted broadly in their ruling that Congress and the state legislatures remain free to at least require dark money groups to disclose their spending and their donors, even if the state can’t limit that spending.

So did the Arizona Legislature take the hint?

Not exactly.

In fact, one of the bills that slipped through the Legislature and quickly over the governor’s desk this session eliminates most of the flimsy remaining limits on disclosures of dark money spending.

Gov. Ducey signed Senate Bill 1516 saying it would increase political participation. However, Democrats complained the bill would virtually end any regulation of the dark money groups by turning the responsibility over the federal Internal Revenue Service. The bill allows the state to seek donor names from dark money groups only if they are

nonprofit corporations that aren’t in good standing with the IRS. Federal tax rules allow groups to set up “nonprofit” corporations to mount their own political efforts so long as they do some non-political work and don’t directly coordinate their campaigns with candidates.

The bill would also allow candidates, groups and politicians to move money around — shifting money received from a dark money group to another candidate or campaign without revealing the original source of the money.

Opponents of the measure immediately announced plans to gather 75,000 signatures to put a referendum on the ballot to repeal the loosened restrictions — and perhaps to impose new disclosure requirements on dark money groups.

Lawmakers then passed a second, almost identical bill — House Bill 2296. This law had a different effective date. That means opponents will have to mount two separate referendums — each requiring 75,000 — to do away with both measures.

Backers have now launched twin, all-volunteer efforts to gather the necessary signatures.

NACo represents counties before the United States Congress and federal agencies. Fifteen western states form the WIR coalition, which serves a vital role in advancing Arizona’s interests in NACo and before the U.S. Congress.

The board elected Supervisor Martin during the NACo WIR Conference in Teton County, Wyo. “I am deeply grateful and humbled by the support of my colleagues,” said Martin.

“I am looking forward to fighting for the enhanced use of our public lands, continued funding of Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) and ensuring the economic stability of our western region.”

“We have fireballs all over the earth,” he said. “We have 40 tons of material hitting the earth every year. Every day or so across the earth, we will have a fireball. Since most of the earth is water and a large part is uninhabited, a small percentage is seen.”

That’s what made this situation so unique.

The MPC serves as the central organizational point of observations made by a host of volunteer astronomers from around the world, said Garvie.

On its website, MPC said that so far this year, they have discovered 857 near-earth objects, 18 comets, and 28,801 minor planets.

The organization also lists close approaches.

Garvie said this meteor probably didn’t make their list.

The deadline has closed for candidates interested in running for countywide offices and some of the races have contested lineups.

The supervisor race has contested races in Districts 2 and 3, but Tommie Martin will run unopposed for District 1.

If voters in Northern Gila County get out and vote, the balance of power could shift from leaning southern to leaning northern.

Other contested races include, the county recorder’s office with two candidates and the Gila County school superintendent’s race with two candidates.

Races for special districts (fire, water and school board) will not close until Aug. 10.

Candidates for those positions may start collecting signatures now if they file an intent to spend less than $500 for the campaign or a committee report if they intend to spend more than $500, according to the county recorder’s office.

They let the thieves in

• June 5, 1933: The United States goes off the gold standard, a monetary system in which currency is backed by gold.

All persons owning gold coin, bullion or certificates were required to deliver it to the Federal Reserve for the set price of $20.67 per ounce. Americans could not legally own gold again until 1974.

• June 3, 1940: Determined to wreck France’s economy and military, the German air force bombs Paris, killing 254 people. Most of the victims were civilians, including schoolchildren.

• June 2, 1953: Queen Elizabeth II, age 27, is formally crowned monarch of the United Kingdom at London’s Westminster Abbey in a ceremony steeped in traditions that date back a millennium.

• June 4, 1972: Angela Davis, a black militant, is acquitted on charges of conspiracy, murder and kidnapping by an all-white jury in California. She was accused of supplying weapons used in a courtroom takeover and shoot-out that killed a superior court judge and three others.

They’re stealing our government.

Worse yet, it’s an inside job cooked up by the people who are supposed to be representing us.

The thieves and corrupters didn’t sneak into the sacred center of our democracy in the middle of the night. No, the politicians broke the locks, rolled out a red carpet and threw a party for the thieves (a fundraiser, to be precise.)

They figured we idiot citizens would just sit on our duffs, rolling our eyes and doing nothing.

So far, they have us pegged.

We’re speaking here of the takeover of our political system by “dark money” groups, with the full cooperation of our lawmakers.

The takeover started with the U.S. Supreme Court’s shameful and corrupting decision in Citizens United.

The court came to the foolish conclusion that special interest groups and corporations have the same free speech rights as citizens. Therefore, reasoned the justices, lawmakers could not limit how much these groups could spend on elections.

The ruinous Citizens United decision by the deeply divided Supreme Court had one saving grace — the justices said the Constitution and precedent would not prevent Congress and the states from at least requiring these so-called “dark money” groups to reveal how much they spend and where they get their money.

So how did lawmakers respond?

They stampeded to the trough to wallow in the swill of an increasing corrupt system.

So far, neither Congress nor the Arizona Legislature has done a thing to pass legislation that would repair the enormous damage Citizens United did to your system of government — and the credibility of our institutions.

In fact, they’ve actually made matters worse.

Witness the flagrant contempt for voters the Arizona Legislature demonstrated in adopting new laws that would surrender all responsibility for even monitoring whether these dark money groups meet the existing minimal requirements for setting up shop and buying an election with a nominally independent campaign.

Incredibly enough — the so-fiercely-independent Arizona Legislature wants to leave it up to the federal Internal Revenue Service to monitor these groups.

Moreover, they want to let lawmakers pass contributions back and forth, without revealing the source of the money. Finally, they reduced the already toothless penalties for violating the few restrictions that remain.

Gov. Doug Ducey — who benefited from $8 million in dark money help in his election — quickly signed the bills into law.

Worse yet, when lawmakers heard a voter reform group wanted to gather 75,000 signatures to repeal the law — they passed a second, nearly identical, provision with a different effective date. That means the reformers will have to mount two initiatives instead of one.

The destruction of virtually any restrain on special interest spending threatens to degrade our system and escalate the already pervasive voter anger and cynicism.

Look no further than the election two years ago for the Arizona Corporation Commission. Arizona Public Service reportedly spent some $3 million through a dark money group to ensure the election of two commissioners friendly to its interests to the commission charged with setting APS’s rates. APS has refused to reveal precisely how much it spent and refused to show whether it got the money from ratepayers. Now, those two commissioners elected with the help of APS money will decide whether to give APS the 7 percent rate increase it’s requesting.

Please note: This is not a partisan issue.

Certainly in Arizona, Republicans control all the statewide offices and the Legislature. So they’ve gained the most from the dark money crowd, which mostly wants to buy special treatment and favors from incumbents.

We have no doubt at all that a bunch of incumbent Democrats would fall prey to the same temptations — and go rolling down the same slippery slope.

Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Only an open government, laws that require disclosure, a free press and engaged, skeptical and sometimes outraged voters can keep the corruption to a minimum.

We cannot look to the politicians to reform the system — they’re all beneficiaries of the corruption, from the governor to the attorney general all the way to our own representatives in the Legislature.

So we hope you will sign petitions, participate in campaigns and express that outrage to your representatives.

The thieves have stuffed the heirlooms of democracy into a gunny sack. They’ll pawn everything we hold dear for a handful of silver.

We mustn’t let them get away with it.

Thank you for your service Editor: The Hon. Timothy Wright, presiding judge, and the Hon. Anita Escobedo, clerk of court/jury commissioner, would like to thank the 648 jurors who have appeared for jury service in the first five months of 2016.

The right to a jury trial and jury service are fundamental to our system of justice.

Most persons appearing were not ultimately selected for a jury panel and completed their service in less than a day.

For most jurors who were selected to serve, their service was three days or less.

The Court recognizes the sacrifice each person made regardless of how long they served.

As a reminder to our citizens, if you receive a jury summons, please respond — being called to serve as a jury member is a civic responsibility, an honor and it is the law.

There are a limited number of reasons a person may be excused. The clerk and the Court work with individuals in these categories. If you believe you have a valid reason to be excused, please contact the jury commissioner.

Being on a jury is a rewarding experience and your participation is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for serving your community.

Wonderful coverage, but he skipped a war Editor: I want to thank Pete Aleshire for his wonderful coverage of the Memorial Day ceremonies at Green Valley Park. It was a well-orchestrated patriotic event that left us all feeling the loss of so many who never returned home.

There was a war that took place 65 years ago that was not mentioned in Pete’s statistics box.

It is called the forgotten war probably because it only lasted three years and there was no declared victory. There were 37,000 U.S. service personnel who gave their lives and of the 8,000 missing, a majority were executed and buried in trenches. They should not be forgotten. They sacrificed their lives to keep South Korea free from a brutal dictatorship. Total human cost of that war was over 3 million.

Wayne Donnay Editor’s note: I am aghast I somehow skipped over that terrible struggle in compiling the list of war deaths stretching back to the revolution. My apologies to all of the veterans — and their descendants — of a “police action” that saw some of the most brutal, difficult and heroic fighting in our long history.

Emergency responders were wonderful Editor: Last week I had a medical emergency and called 911. The young people who responded from the Rancho Road station were wonderful.

I can’t thank them enough for their caring way and attention to securing my dog and locking my home before we left for the emergency room.

Thank you again.

Grateful for Memorial Day support Editor: On behalf of the Payson Patriotic Events Committee I wish to extend my personal and profound thanks to all who participated in this year’s Memorial Day Tribute held at our magnificent Veterans Memorial in Payson’s Green Valley Park and elsewhere over this past weekend.

The Green Valley program was well executed, the messages delivered were poignant and heartfelt and the military tributes moving.

We were most thankful for the weather cooperating with us and a program that was completed as scheduled.

At our grand finale in Green Valley Park, we had the largest attendance since we have been presenting our programs.

And, a very special thanks to Randy Roberson our emcee for the Green Valley Park event, well done!

Again well done, by everyone for helping place the exclamation mark on what the true meaning of Memorial Day is all about!

Bill Sahno, Colonel, U. S. Marine Corps (Ret); chairman, Payson Patriotic Events Committee

Rim Country comes through Editor: The High Country Garden Club would like to thank the citizens of Payson for their overwhelming support of our plant sale held last Saturday.

We would also like to thank several others whose help was greatly appreciated: the Elks and Lions clubs for use of their tables; Glen McCombs of Plant Fair for lots of things; Dave Larkins for a huge tent; Mike and Elizabeth Shaw, Victor Baratti and Tyler Hamilton for use of their trailers; Jack-in-the-Box for coffee; and Walmart for use of their parking lot space.

Without this help, our sale would not have been the great success that it was.

Thank you!

Donna Stull, High Country Garden Club

Poll pans Payson mayor Recently the Roundup published an online poll in which they asked readers to rate the job Mayor Kenny Evans did during his eight-year term, with a 5 being excellent, and a 1 being a failure. The results were quite revealing!

Fewer than 1 in 5 rated his job while mayor as excellent. More than 48 percent rated him a (1) a failure! with a total of two-thirds of respondents saying he did a poor job, or failed entirely, (a 1 or 2)!

In another article, we read where one candidate to replace Mr. Evans wanted to “take over where Evans left off.” That same candidate followed up with the line ... “We need to build on what we have done in the past eight years and follow through on all of that. “... NOT! “I certainly hope the person who replaces Mr. Evans as mayor saw this poll. I also hope our next mayor understands that the vast majority of our community DOES NOT WANT the same policies and direction we have endured over the past eight years.

“Polls can be a learning tool.

“It is time our elected officials listened to their constituents and actually represented them, and not their own special interests! Let us return to common sense solutions to our challenges, and not focus on a ‘legacy’ or a ‘dream!’”

Paul Frommelt Editor’s note: The online polls don’t rely on a randomly selected sample and the results are therefore not necessarily representative of the opinion of the majority Payson residents.

Incompetence? Or something even worse? pamphlets and insisted the delayed mailing made no difference. However, critics said it may have played a crucial role in the waferthin victory of Prop. 123. They reason that the pamphlets had complete pro-and-con arguments. Most voters would otherwise have heard from only the pro-Prop. 123 side — which had about 100 times as much money to spend.

And not to pile on, or anything — but the secretary of state’s office also did nothing to prevent the polling booth disaster that overtook Maricopa County during the presidential primary election. Maricopa County has something like 62 polling places for a population of some 4 million voters. Gila County had about half that many for a population of 52,000. As a result, Maricopa County voters had to wait in line for hours to vote. The secretary of state reviewed Maricopa County’s election day plans, but said nothing about the lack of polling places.

As a result of that blunder, the U.S. Justice Department is investigating whether the state violated the Voting Rights Act by setting up a system that would tend to suppress voting in minority districts where far fewer people vote by mail.

So it’s starting to look like we’ve got two choices here.

Option one: The secretary of state’s office is deliberately trying to affect the election by manipulating and crashing the system.

Option two: Those poor dunderheads got no idea what they’re doing.

Hard to know which option to prefer.

Lawmaker decries monuments, refugees by

Peter Aleshire

roundup editor

Rep. Bob Thorpe stressed his efforts as a state lawmaker to fight the federal government in a recent appearance before the Payson Tea Party.

Thorpe (R-Flagstaff) at one time headed up the Flagstaff Tea Party and has served two terms as a state lawmaker, gaining national attention for sponsoring a whole series of bills that would nullify or set aside federal laws affecting the state.

One bill this session would require the federal government to go back and justify economically the existence of every national park or monument — from the Grand Canyon to Tonto National Monument.

He hopes the bill will deter the federal government from designating a new, 1.7-million-acre

expansion of the Grand Canyon National Park. Many environmental groups support the expansion as the best way to protect the watersheds flowing into the Colorado River as it runs through the Grand Canyon.

However, many state officials — and federal officials like Congressman Paul Gosar and Senator John McCain — oppose the new monument on the grounds it will limit uranium mining, grazing, logging and other activities.

Thorpe sponsored a bill seeking to require the federal government to provide an economic justification for current and proposed monuments created through the Antiquities Act, first used by Teddy Roosevelt.

“Arizona has the largest number of national monuments of any other state. The average

size of national monuments in the East is 50 to 100 acres.

The average size in the West is 175,000 acres.”

The governor signed Thorpe’s bill to force the federal government to justify anything protected by a monument.

“The Sierra Club and Center for Biodiversity are pushing the president to create this (Grand Canyon) monument to end uranium mining in that area. So it turns out per our state geologist — the area they want to lock up has the richest uranium deposits in the world — most strategic of strategic minerals.”

Thorpe said the monument would also limit the use of 30,000 acres of state-owned land that would be surrounded by the monument — which is already federally owned.

“As far as I’m concerned,

When Applying For A Home Loan What Will You Need?

Congratulations! Now that you have found the perfect home, all that's left is getting the perfect mortgage. In order to do that, you will have to know

what your lender needs from you in order to get your loan application approved.

Property Description - When applying for a home loan, you will need to provide the lender with detailed information regarding the property that you intend to purchase. This information includes a physical address, what type of loan you are requesting and how you obtained the funds to be used as a down payment. Keep in mind that manufactured homes may have different financing options then a site built home.

Borrower & Co-Borrower Information - All persons named on a home loan must be able to provide their name, date of birth, current address, former address (if within the last two years), marital status, current and former employment information, telephone number and social security number. Most lenders require tax returns for the two years preceding the loan application, along with current paystubs or if self-employed, a yearto-date profit/loss statement.

Current Mortgage Expenses - An important part of every home loan is affordability, which is why your lender will need to know how much of your income is available to pay for a new home. If you have a current mortgage, be ready to provide a detailed list of expenses that you pay each month in relation to the property. This includes a mortgage payment, real estate taxes, mortgage insurance, homeowner's association dues, utilities, etc. If you plan to sell the home, let your lender know so that they will understand you are simply replacing one debt with another.

Yes Or No - Almost every loan application asks both the borrower and co-borrower (if applicable) to answer a few simple yes and no questions on the application. Questions pertaining to outstanding judgments, bankruptcy filings, foreclosures, lawsuits, alimony, child support and citizenship status are standard and should be expected when applying for a home loan.

Statement of Assets & Liabilities - When applying for a home loan, both the borrower and co-borrower will be required to disclose all of their current assets and liabilities. An asset is property, either real or personal, that is owned and is of value. A liability, on the other hand, is a financial obligation for which one is liable. A loan application will request information relating to assets and their current market value, including automobiles, real estate, stocks, bonds, life insurance (cash value), business net worth, personal property, etc. If any amount of money is owed on these properties, the lender will request information relating to the unpaid balance in order to determine the actual equity that the borrower has in any given property.

David Milster this is highway robbery,” said Thorpe.

Other Thorpe bills didn’t fare so well.

He proposed one bill that would require the state to enter into a compact with other states to prevent passage of any state or federal laws to regulate the use and ownership of guns.

Gov. Ducey “vetoed it, said it would be too difficult to get out of the compact if we joined with other states. But that’s the whole purpose of the compact — to make it difficult to get out of.”

Rep. Thorpe also said he had proposed a bill that would have barred any foreign refugees from settling in Arizona unless the federal government certified they didn’t have a terrorist background, didn’t have any criminal record and didn’t have any health problems.”

However, he said many religious and humanitarian groups lobbied against the bill.

So he agreed to drop it. “I got so much pushback from the religious groups because it was biting into their cash cow,” in reference to money they received for sponsoring and settling refugees.

Payson Farmer’s Market has started its every-Saturday season in the Sawmill Theatres parking lot.

Farmers Market helps stretch food dollar by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

Solution to 5/31 puzzle

The Payson Farmers Market helps more people who use food safety nets than any other Farmers Market in Arizona.

The Payson Farmer’s Market accepts the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), Women, Infants and Children Food and Nutrition Service and the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program.

That has the founders, John and Lorian Roethlein, excited about getting healthy food onto everyone’s table despite their economics.

Lorian also said she has witnessed many picking up fresh fruits and veggies and expressing gratitude for the healthy options.

Cyndi Daugherty, who runs a mentoring program to help small business people and farmers

Now accepting SNAP, WIC and Senior FMNP programs start up in the Payson Farmers Market, said during the years she sold extra produce, she saw many happy stories.

“It was neat because seniors would buy stuff that they may not be able to afford,” she said.

“They would ask for $3 of this or that or $1 of those.”

Once, a senior bought all of the onions because he knew they wouldn’t go bad too quickly.

The children she said surprised her with how much they knew.

“Kids were more of a foodie than their parents,” she said.

“We once had purple beans and a kid said, ‘Mom, we have to try these.’”

Lorian said to use SNAP, WIC

or SFNMP the market will set up a manager’s booth in the middle of the market with two large SNAP/EBT banners.

“The customer can “swipe” their EBT card, requesting the amount they want to spend at the market and we’ll give them $1 tokens they use as cash with the vendors,” said Lorian.

The federal government runs the SNAP program to give low-income people and families a chance to add healthy fruits and vegetables to their diet.

“SNAP is the largest program in the domestic hunger safety net,” according to the SNAP website (http://www.fns.usda. gov/snap/supplemental-nutrition-assistance-program-snap).

The WIC program website explains that the program helps women who are pregnant, just had a baby and are breastfeeding. WIC also serves children up to the age of five (http://www.fns. usda.gov/wic/about-wic) by providing the resources to add foods full of nutrition to diets.

The USDA manages the SFMNP. The USDA provides grants to states, U.S. Territories and federally recognized Indian tribal governments to provide funds to pay for coupons seniors may use at farmers markets (http://www.fns.usda.gov/sfmnp/ senior-farmers-market-nutrition-program-sfmnp).

Daugherty and the Roethlein look forward to watching more seniors and families make healthy choices by adding fresh fruits and veggies grown by local farmers onto the plates of those who need help.

Payson Roundup LOCAL Friday, June 3, 2016

Students score in national competition DECA business students compete in Nashville Payson DECA students competed against students from around the world at the DECA International Career Development Conference in Nashville, Tenn. recently.

Students spent all year preparing to compete at this elite event.

Nathan McMullen and Madison Wood worked hard to qualify for the competition in Tennessee by placing fourth and third at the state competition.

Amy Borges and Francisco Apodaca went with McMullen and Wood to attend leadership academies with 18,000 other high school students from all over the U.S., Canada, China, Guam, Spain and Mexico.

During this five-day conference Payson students competed, gained leadership knowledge, and experienced the southern atmosphere of Nashville.

Borges, a freshman, said, “I enjoyed meeting so many people, and I learned some new concepts about leadership during my classes.”

Besides attending leadership classes, Borges, along with Apodaca, McMullen and Wood toured Nashville by traveling down the Cumberland River on a riverboat ride, taking a walking tour of the hotels and old churches, and visiting the Ryman Museum.

For many students an experience such as this is almost impossible, however, Payson DECA strives to educate its students in not only marketing concepts through books and presentations, but also takes students out of the classroom to gain knowledge from handson experience.

Competitions are generally based on a role play situation in front of a judge in which

These role plays demand critical thinking skills and knowledge of verbal and nonverbal communication. Students also have to complete a multiple-choice test that has questions covering marketing concepts approved by real people in the industry.

Payson DECA students started their competition season in January of this year at their regional conference. Payson won 27 medals.

McMullen, Wood, Tristen Johnson and John Hughes won an overall medal, which

means that they scored the highest in their event. Payson DECA also won 21 medals at the state conference in Phoenix in March.

They had a total of four finalists including McMullen, Wood, Gerardo Moceri and Anna Schouten. Members Veronica Volk and McMullen also received elite member awards from the state of Arizona for their dedication to the organization.

“Congratulations Payson DECA on yet another successful year,” said Joe Parone adviser and teacher. “We can’t wait to see what you accomplish in the years to come.”

Payson planners ponder developments by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

The Planning and Zoning Commission will consider several new developments and a bed and breakfast rezoning at its Monday meeting at town hall.

The first item on the 2:30 p.m. agenda is plans to develop 149 acres of the 220acre Montezuma Land Exchange. The land exchange occurred in 2010 and covers the area southwest of the Payson Airport, near West Airport Road and South Vista Road.

The site was re-zoned at the time into multiple districts, including commercial, industrial and residential.

The proposed plat includes 17 blocks, ranging from a few acres up to 39 acres.

Through the block platting process, owners of the properties can sell the blocks once a final plat is approved.

The area will include open spaces to buffer employment areas and landscape buffers to protect existing neighborhoods from new housing. The project will also protect natural drainage ways and provide multi-use

pathways.

The commission will also consider a re-plat of the Foothills East Subdivision. The subdivision was initially recorded in 1999 at North Tyler Parkway off North Foothills East Circle. It is proposed to add several parcels of land to the subdivision because they were not properly recorded.

The commission will also consider a conditional use permit for a bed and breakfast on West Fairway Lane. A couple would like to use their three-story home for a country inn.

see our players play, then they likely are not voting for our players. If they did see them play then it might have been only one game (which was the case with our section rep — Art Griffith from Winslow).

But if you didn’t have a good game against the section rep then you probably aren’t getting his vote. That is not how baseball works.

“I deserve the right to vote for my own players and players on other teams that have impressed me.”

Young said the 2015-16 school year simply left Payson at a disadvantage on many levels in several sports, including baseball. The AIA used a complicated formula for a realignment based in part on free and reduced lunches in each school and designed to last for three seasons. However, after complaints from around the state, it lasted just one year as the AIA went back and made drastic changes to take effect beginning this fall and covering the next two years. In most sports, the AIA will revert back to the old class and region system. The Roundup covered this several months ago and will take a new look in an upcoming issue.

“I feel like the AIA has really screwed up the all-state voting,” Young said. “They really did no favors for a school like us putting us in a division with schools with three or four times our enrollment. Then you take away our right to vote for allstate. They obviously don’t care about many of their smaller schools in our division. This year was all about taking the schools from Phoenix Union School District and the Yuma area and letting them feel good about themselves. That is all right and good, but we have seniors that don’t get chances again next year when they have the divisions actually balanced out like they should be — with us in a division with like-schools with enrollment under 1,000.

“It is one thing to play in the wrong division but to also take away voting rights is just too much.”

Young is glad the AIA corrected things for the next two-year block.

“Next year will be a much better spread,” the coach said. “They are going back to 1A (smallest

“It just goes to show that this year’s placements were such a huge screw up that they had to fix it right away. Its unfortunate for the kids we had on this year’s team, but we just have to work hard and prepare for where we will be next year.”

The summer fishing season is not far away and the urge to wet a line on one of the Rim lakes for that early morning or late afternoon trout bite is always a possibility. Chances are good that a few trout will be caught whether shore fishing or in a boat trolling. With sum- outdoors mer-like weather, under the rim there will always be other anglers on most bodies of water that are relatively easy to reach like Woods Canyon and Willow Springs Dennis Pirch Lake. The harder to reach Rim lakes such as Bear Canyon, Knoll, or Black Canyon will have significantly fewer anglers.

I enjoy fishing the lakes, but I also relish the solitude of being on a true wilderness stretch of water that some of the streams beneath the Rim provide. Even Tonto, Christopher, Haigler, Canyon, and the East Verde away from all the easy access crossings, have places that get very little fishing pressure. A narrow canyon wall, extreme underbrush, or just a long walk will often eliminate most fishing pressure. These hard to reach spots often reward the most diligent anglers with some good fishing and much-earned solitude.

As the stocking program continues throughout the summer and a continued good water flow, many of those fish that were not caught a day or two after being released find their way up or down the creek.

The key is sufficient water flow, as an example, when the East Verde pumps are operating the fish habitat greatly improves with more protective cover for trout. The longer a stocked trout lives in a creek the more likely it will take on wild fish tendencies of hiding in the shade or beneath a rock ledge.

There are other secondary streams in some of the deep canyons beneath the Rim that have limited water and a few wild trout that are a remnant population of stocking programs that were initiated decades ago by some true visionaries in the cold water fisheries division of the AZGFD. These tiny

Adventuresome anglers can still catch wild trout, such as this brook trout, in the remote areas of Rim Country. Most release them so future fishermen can experience the thrill of catching real wild trout. creeks have self-sustaining reproducing wild trout that allow for some limited fishing for the real die-hard anglers.

I have fished all of these little creeks in the last 50 years and try to make a yearly visit to each of them to rekindle old memories. With older legs and an adventuresome spirit, I still enjoy the challenge of catching wild trout. Much to my delight, the first two creeks I fished this year still have a few wild trout. These brookies, rainbows and browns reproduce in the natural spawning cycle with very little management being needed by the AZGFD. Of course, it is important to practice a voluntary “catch and release” with the hope that some of these 8-inch fish will spawn in the gravel beds of the stream as their ancestors had years before.

Adventuresome anglers who penetrate these remote areas are likely to release all the trout caught so that others can experience the thrill of catching real wild trout.

These tiny creeks cannot withstand a dwindling population of 8-inch fish being put in the creel and taken home. This group of avid wilderness anglers understands the delicate balance and the uniqueness of fishing these remote streams that may only flow a mile or two before disappearing into the rocky soil. The hope and goal is for future generations of wilderness anglers to have these

same opportunities.

We need to remember there are plenty of popular streams and lakes in the Rim Country that receive weekly visits from the stock truck for anglers that want a tasty trout dinner.

The rainbows from the hatchery are generally much larger than their smaller wild trout cousins. The Tonto and Canyon Creek fish hatcheries do a remarkable job providing fish for the weekend visitors and summer anglers at the more popular trout waters.

As the temperatures warm, an encounter with a rattlesnake near the water’s edge is a likely possibility. I have encountered my share of these venomous reptiles that made no rattling warning sound.

Consequently, I am always looking where my next step will be, and when there are tall grasses or briars, I use my rod tip to forewarn me of an impending snake encounter.

When possible, it is probably best to hike with a friend and take turns casting for trout. If you fish by yourself always tell someone where you are going and use that handy device, a cellphone. Most of these canyons have sporadic cell service and it may be necessary to gain elevation by climbing to a ridge, which may pickup a tower or satellite for a call.

Take a friend fishing this week and explore the wilderness of Arizona, God’s creation.

Take these immediate steps to minimize bear encounters and keep wildlife wild: • Keep a clean camp. Store food items and trash away from your tent or sleeping area. Even an empty food wrapper can attract a bear from a long distance.

• Wash up before going to bed to eliminate odors.

• Put food waste and garbage in a secure location such as a bearproof dumpster.

• Carry bear spray.

• Encourage others to take these precautions. Discouraging bears from a campground requires everyone do their part.

T H E

If you encounter a bear, try to scare the bear away by making yourself look as large as possible, making loud noises and throwing objects towards it. Do not run.

In the rare event of a black bear attack, fight back aggressively and use bear spray.

Arizona has had one fatal bear attack, which occurred in Pinetop in 2011. However, there are numerous reports each year of bears in close proximity to humans that could lead to serious injury or even death.

Photographer DJ Craig captured this view of the sun setting through the pall of smoke that blanketed Rim Country this week. Despite the alarming smoke, the fires on the Rim and near Young remained in contained areas — and the air quality in Rim Country remained good. By contrast, many other areas of the state had air quality alerts this week.

Wildfires grow, but still beneficial From page 1A

north of Payson.

All national forest lands, roads and trails up to half a mile west of State Highway 288 between Circle Ranch Trailhead, milepost 286.2, and milepost 279.8, are closed.

This includes the Circle Ranch Trailhead and the developed campsites of Reynolds Creek, Rose Creek and the Sawmill dispersed area.

Smoke from the fire will head mainly toward the east with occasional drifts toward Payson.

So far, crews have hand cut a 3.7-mile line around the fire with another 3.8 miles of burnouts along the roadways to keep the fire at bay and within a certain area.

Firefighters are working in two shifts, with the night shift doing most of the burnout operations when it is cooler and the winds die down.

Day crews are monitoring and managing the fire, building and maintaining lines, and suppressing any fire that gets beyond the established lines.

From the sky, aircraft monitor the fire’s progress and helicopters are dropping small, incendiary devices on ridge tops to push the fire downhill toward the fire’s leading edge.

“Fire managers are quite pleased with the fire behavior and the accomplishments of the crews on the Juniper Fire to date,” according to a press release.

This weekend, the National Weather Service says the temperature in Payson will hit 101 degrees on Saturday with a high pressure system building across the Southwest through Sunday.

Temperatures will be 10 to 15 degrees above normal with winds from the southwest.

Watching the weather for the safety of the firefighters on the Juniper Fire is an incident meteorologist. He has been out on the fire to see how the wind behaves with the topography and how the fuels are laid out across the landscape.

“Winds, temperatures and moisture are very important to firefighters and these three weather elements can vary from canyon to canyon, from lower elevations to higher elevations, and whether the hillside faces into the sun or away from the sun.”

Should the weather change quickly, he will notify officials to get firefighters out.

There are three lightning-caused forest fires burning

Jack Fire

About 14 miles north of Clints Well, east of Lake Mary Road, crews Wednesday night successfully protected power lines within the 648-acre Jack Fire.

Crews Thursday continued to prepare roads and the power lines as well as burnout as conditions allowed.

There are no area closures because of the fire at this time.

Pivot Rock

Earlier this week, smoke from the Pivot Rock Fire cloaked Payson in a layer of smoke.

Despite the smoke, the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality’s (ADEQ) air quality monitors reported the air in Payson was good. In fact, the air quality remained fine throughout the week. In Sedona, however, there was an unhealthy amount of particulates in the air as the winds shifted and the smoke reversed

directions.

On Wednesday, crews completed burnout operations on the 5,000-acre fire eight miles northeast of Strawberry. Pockets of fuel will burn internally for some time, but no large growth is expected.

The area from FR 149 to 144, west of SR 260, south to SR 87, and north to FR 149 remains closed.

Mormon Fire

Six miles east of Munds Park, near Mormon Mountain, crews are also doing burnouts to keep the 6,362-acre Mormon Fire corralled.

On Friday, a helicopter crew and ground firefighters used drip torches and crews were used to strengthen the fire lines along the 700 road.

The closure area for the Mormon Fire is between Mormon Lake and Munds Park, and was expanded Thursday to include Forest Roads 700 and FR 133 to the southwest.

The Juniper Fire grew to more than 12,000 acres this week as it spread through remote, rugged canyons. The Forest Service closed the main road into Young and deployed 400 firefighters to keep the fire contained. The map above shows the planning area for the fire, which will likely die out when it hits older burn areas.

Hike leads to underground, limestone wonderland Three-mile trek leads to Preacher Canyon Cave by

Connie Cockrell

hike columnist

Are you afraid of noisome holes with worm ends hanging out? This is not a nice dry hobbit hole. Oh no.

More than 20 of us gathered at our usual time to leave the Stage parking lot and caravan east on Highway 260 to Tonto Village to see a natural curiosity — an honest to goodness living cave.

Of course, we couldn’t just get out of the cars and walk into the cave. That wouldn’t be much of a hike at all. So after parking just past Tonto Village, we began our walk through the ponderosa pines to the cave. Weekend rain had left big puddles for us to skirt on the road, despite the bright, cool sunlight.

The forest here has had some clearing done, so much of our walk was through open forest. About a quarter mile into the hike, a branch of the road goes off to the left, we stayed to the right. To be honest, the approximately three-mile walk to the cave site is not very exciting, at least not in April. Later there will be flowers and perhaps in groups smaller than ours, wildlife could be spotted. One cool item was a downed tree trunk with insect tracks all through the surface of the wood.

After about three miles we reached a clearing with cairns on the right, uphill side, at GPS 34 17.825N, 111 10.188W. We looked up the hill to our right to see two large dead trees standing about 400 feet away. We bushwhacked uphill, aiming for the right-hand-most of the two large dead trees. There is a bit of a usage trail to follow. The entrance to the cave is in a small depression about 15 feet southwest (and slightly downhill from) the big dead tree, at GPS coordinates: 34 17.875N, 111 10.243W. The people who had decided to brave the cold and dark came prepared. They dug warm clothing, knee pads, head lamps, and head protection out of their packs and dressed for the descent. A handful of us, myself included, decided to stay outside in the sunshine.

The cavers entered the cave by either crawling or butt-scooting into the low opening. After about 20 feet, the slide down ends and the cave room opens up so that the caver has room to stand and explore. Several rooms have easy access, with a pool of water in the back of the cave. The cave does have stalagmites and stalactites though unfortunately many have been broken off, probably as a result of heedless and destructive hikers and cavers. The rock floors are muddy, slippery and wet. Gloves are a very good idea.

After the cavers came back into the light, they had a chance to eat their snack and warm up in the sun before we hiked back to the cars. One nice thing, on the road, just before going off up the hill to the cave, many of the C Group hikers in the past have found Payson Diamonds — really brilliant quartz crystals. We all kept an eye out and one of our group did find a small one.

While there were no worm-ends, we all had a good time on a lovely spring day.

Preacher Canyon Trailhead: From Payson, drive Highway 260 to mile marker 266.8 and turn left where the sign says Control Road & Tonto Village. Go 1.6 miles to dirt road on left, (just before yellow sign says: Curves Mountain Grades Next 12 Miles), pull in and park at GPS 34 19.084N, 111 8.536W. Distance: Approximately 6.3 miles round trip. Regular cars are OK. Recommend long pants for inside the cave.

Difficulty: Easy. Rocky road walk has long sloping hills.

Highlights: Pleasant, easy walk through the open forest then wet, muddy trip into a living cave.

Randy Wilfong took these wonderful photos of the hike to the Preacher Canyon limestone cave near Christopher Creek.

The Payson Packers braved the puddles, then crawled around underground. The cave includes formations from the drip of water loaded with dissolved limestone and a pool in the back of the still living cave. At right, beetle grubs left these tunnels.

The Trout Challenge link on the website lists the waters where you can catch the various species of trout for each challenge. The Where to Fish in Arizona link

on the website may be useful to you in identifying fishing locations, as might the maps that appear when you click on the name of a stream or lake on the Summer Trout.

Stocking schedule: Some of the waters on the Trout Challenge link are not listed on either the Where to Fish in Arizona

or the Summer Trout Stocking links because these waters are neither easily accessible, nor stocked with trout; and only have wild trout populations in them.

These remote, wild populations are treasures, so be sure to treat any fish you catch with great care and release them quickly. If you cannot locate a particular fishing location as part of the Trout Challenge, I would suggest contacting the Arizona Game and Fish Department.

The main office number is 602-942-3000.

Region VI, which is our region, can be reached at 480-981-9400.

I have enjoyed catching many species of trout all across the country. It is a real treat to have the chance to catch a Gila or Apache trout in Arizona. These two species of trout are only found in the Southwest and are being stocked into various waters in Arizona as part of an effort to restore these trout listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act to waters that they historically inhabited. In addition, they are being stocked into other waters in the state for recreational use. This is possible because of increasing success in raising these trout in the few hatcheries that specialize in their rearing.

So, are you interested in a fishing challenge? Have fun exploring some great waters throughout Arizona in pursuit of some beautiful trout.

BATMAN

“You don’t understand Paul!

Being the Batman isn’t about gadgets. It’s not about the body armor. It’s about three things...

Speed... Skill... and Sense! All of which I proudly possess. I’m your caped crusader; by day I play and swoon with my charm.

By night, I defend that batmobile I know you’re hiding from me.

Just because I can’t get a license, doesn’t mean I can’t take you for a wild ride. With the help of my trusty sidekick Robin, the sky is the limit!

CHOCO

I bet you’ve never seen a cat that has a better color than me.

My name suits me well, in the sense that I should be the face of a chocolate bar advertisement because of my silky smooth and richly colored fur. I’m just a sweet girl looking for the right family who would compliment me so well. I can offer you snuggles and endless cuddling. I would be an essential part of your life and complete your quiet home. I would prefer to not live with any dogs or any cats, I do not get along with them. So if you’re a cat lover, just come snuggle me and see what all the fuss is about. (Available for adoption at PetSmart in the Rim Country Mall next to Stage.)

In an immense leap of faith, Mike and Junior have honored me with the writing of the ceremony and hearing their vows.

Debbie and her staff did a fine job for the 64 golfers. Early that chilly and blustering morning, Larry and Patty Boeschling announced their retirement after ramrodding the May tournaments for 23 years! Well done Larry and Patty.

We might also mention that Kenn Gorecki, John Turchin and Doc Almendinger made up the rest of our team and that this ol’ man can still hit a golf ball. He put them boys to shame ... and that’s another week in the Creek.

There will not be any burn permits issued until further notice. The area has not received a sufficient amount of rainfall and the forest is now susceptible to any type of sparks emanating from any source.

Please be very careful with any type of flame. We love our forest and we don’t want a repeat of some of the forest fires that have been very close to us.

Recipe of the week

Practically everyone likes cheesecake, and this recipe is so simple besides being sugar free for our diabetic friends. The recipe was submitted by the late Sandy Kalmar, who was a diabetic. The cheesecake can be found in the “Fireflies Can Cook” cookbook.

Sugar Free Pineapple Cheesecake 1 package Philly cream cheese, softened 1 can crushed pineapple, well drained 2 tablespoons Cool Whip Light 1 graham cracker crust Using mixer, mix cream cheese until soft, then add pineapple and mix well. Stir in whipped cream and pour into crust. Chill in refrigerator.

How easy is that? I hope you try it soon.

That’s all for another week, see you same time, same place if the creek don’t rise, which will not be very likely, no rain in sight and very high temperatures this week.

Slater operating the walkie-talkie.

Editor Bert also included announcements of weddings, church services and special needs such as, “If you need a good lawn mower Ed Fuel has one he will sell.”

Major announcements to appear frequently in The Roundup were for the Saturday night dances. Bert lent his poetic bent to the invitations, and one was like this: Next Sunday nite at 8:00 p.m., On the fifth day of October, If you like to dance the old time way (And will stay just tolerably sober) You had better come to the Elk Dance Hall, And you’ll have a wonderful time.

You boys dig up only half a buck, You gals not a dadburn dime.

His more serious poetry was also published:

I am living on the Tonto where the Landscape stands on end, As I gaze across the basin to where The sky and mountains blend, From where I stand upon the rim rock High above this wonderland I can feel the charm of nature as it Waves a beckoning hand.

It’s a land of tangled forest, mighty Canyons deep and dark, Where the lynx and mountain lion Hunt the deer in gulch and park.

A wild and rocky wilderness where A man may roam at will, Far away from towns and cities, Far away from shop and mill.

In the Tonto there’s a cabin built Of logs and riffed with shakes, There I’ve sat before the fireplace And broiled my venison stakes. (sic)

D R A BLE O F F A

I could hear the wind’s low murmur thru The pines as it softly blows, And the nite birds gently calling As the day comes to a close.

I have climbed the towering rim rock, I’ve descended the canyons deep, I have crawled thru manzanita, labored Up the ridges steep, Just to sit along on some high point, With a pine tree’s shade, And gaze across the Tonto land, A land that God had made.

On Friday evening, Feb. 22, 1957, Bert was helping in one of his favorite community projects, the Payson Little Theater. The next day was his 80th birthday, Feb. 23, when he lay down and peacefully died. He is buried in the Payson Pioneer Cemetery.

Pivot Rock smolders

Although the volumes of smoke emitted from the Pivot Rock Fire appeared ominous to Pine and Strawberry residents, Coconino National Forest officials say there was no reason to worry. Most of the past week fire control officers were monitoring the fire which is burning eight miles northeast of Pine and Strawberry and about three miles from the intersections of SR 87 and SR 260. USFS officers are also scrutinizing the impact of smoke on the two towns.

Officials are allowing the lightning-caused fire to burn to benefit the landscape and maintain a healthy ecosystem.

The fire is expected to reduce forest fuels and the risk of more severe wildfires.

Fires such as Pivot Rock also stimulate scrub vegetation growth and restore wildlife habitat.

There is no end date for the fire, but officers have determined the perimeter to which it will be allowed to burn.

The Blue Ridge Hotshots, who worked the Strawberry Fire, last week, are among the crews monitoring the fire.

The library is also hosting an inaugural meeting from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. today Friday, June 3, for the newly formed chess club. It will gather the same time each Friday thereafter.

Members must be at least 10 years old.

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.

June 1960. We both smoked. I was a three-pack-a-day man and working my way up to four. One day in August Lolly told me she was pregnant and I was naturally overjoyed, but when I came home in October one day she looked a bit green.

Cigarette smoke, she told me, made her upchuck and so she had quit smoking.

Well my joy at being a future father faded a wee bit, but I did what I had to do; I gave up smoking right there and then. Can you believe it? Just like that! A three-pack-a-day smoker who had been smoking since he was 15 and I just gave it up. The truth is it was dead so easy I thought nothing of it!

Well, one day when David was about 3 months old, I came home and found Lolly smoking one of her old dried up old Pall Malls. “I thought you gave up smoking?” I said. “Well, not forever,” she

said, smiling that little smile I had fallen in love with at first sight. So we became smokers again.

The second time I gave up smoking it was even easier. We were on Okinawa five years later. I was driving Lolly home and my heart started hurting. Not to mention that it was doing a gandy dance.

So off to the base hospital I went, where they ran me through a wide range of tests, including an EKG and all the rest of it.

After that, one very long-faced doctor told me I had a ba-a-a-d heart and started taking down some “basic facts.”

“Age? Weight? Height?” he asked.

I was a slender, well muscled 33-yearold.

“Do you smoke?”

“Yes.” “How much?”

“Four packs a day.”

Whoops! The questions stopped and I found myself being told that the effect of nicotine being what it is the doctor could make no clear-cut diagnosis until I cut down on my smoking. And so I was given an appointment a month in the future.

So I went home, quit smoking, and went back a month later. They gave me another EKG, stress test, and the works.

The same doctor sat down opposite me.

“I’m sorry, Sarge,” he said. “I’m afraid I got you mixed up with someone who has a bad heart.”

“That’s me.”

“Couldn’t be. Your heart is one of the best I’ve ever tested.”

“I gave up smoking. Would that account for the difference?”

And so I learned something new I’ll share with you next week.

Plein air painters inspired by nature by

Sharon Langdale

special to the roundup

Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a camera lens, the tip of a brush loaded with cerulean blue paint, or a No. 2 pencil pressed against writing paper, someone in Rim Country is trying to capture the special essence of our mountain area.

As a new resident in Payson, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve asked others how long they have lived here and where they moved from. Occasionally I shake hands with a native, but most often Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m told they made a conscious decision to re-locate to Payson because of the beauty, tranquility or nearness to nature. In my case I love trees and Payson and the surrounding areas have plenty of them.

The way I see it, trees breathe out what I breathe in and so far, that works for me.

Along with appreciating crystal clear air, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a painter.

Payson Art League has a new group of plein air painters. We find special places to set up our easels and absorb the beauty, which we hope will magically influence what appears on our canvases. I admit that I actually get a little giddy when perched alongside Tonto Creek, filling my paint palette with every possible shade of green and expecting a mythical leprechaun to appear any moment.

A more down to earth outing found us at the Fossil Creek Creamery in Strawberry, face to face with friendly goats and aloof llamas. We brought home truly authentic paintings as a wind gust dusted our wet paint with bits of straw and dirt. We just mixed it all in, forever preserved in our scenes.

Our first plein air painting day was at Green Valley Park and we were entertained by ducks and geese filled with amour as it was the start of spring. We were dazzled by the fishing exhibition provided by our national bird, a bald eagle, which chose a large weeping willow near us as his spotting perch.

On a recent outing, we ventured to the south and set up our easels at the rest area at Lower Salt Creek, below Saguaro Lake. The beauty of the natural fauna and rugged cliffs were almost outdone by our chance view of the wild mustangs along Bush Highway. Using photos I took of the grazing horses, I painted a scene I enjoy seeing every day in my home.

Aside from nature, animals, beautiful blue sky, and clouds like no other, we enjoy the people we meet while painting outdoors. Most all are curious and want to peek over our shoulders to see what we are painting and either ask questions or mention their own experience with painting.

As an author, in my first novel, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vein of Justice,â&#x20AC;? I used my experience living at 9200 feet elevation to describe the weather, perils and thrills of mountain life in Colorado. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hard at work on a sequel to my first novel, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maggie of Ute Tribe,â&#x20AC;? set partly in Colorado, but also in Tonto National Forest and Payson. www.sharonlangdale.com.

Bacterial infection forces trout stocking plans to change An outbreak of a bacterial disease in some hatcheries has prompted the Arizona Game and Fish Department to adjust trout stockings in some high country lakes. A few of Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state and federal fish hatcheries have tested positive for Bacteria Kidney Disease (BKD), which can kill trout and salmon but does not affect humans.

The bacteria can readily move from one trout to another, but can also lie dormant with no symptoms. BKD-positive trout are still edible and good quality. AZGFD always recommends anglers cook all fish to the proper temperature to ensure safe consumption.

As a precaution, AZGFD this year will not stock trout into waters where the pathogen could infect wild trout populations or get into stocked, trout-dependent fisheries.

What does this mean for anglers? The biggest impact will be at Sheeps Crossing on the West Fork of the Little Colorado River, which will not be stocked with Apache trout and will not get any hatchery-stocked trout this year.

As the AZGFD protects longterm trout fishing opportunities in Arizona, trout fishing opportunities throughout the summer will remain abundant. In fact, waters such as the East Fork of the Black River, the Little Colorado River in Greer, and Silver Creek, will be supplemented with rainbow

trout to ensure level numbers of stocked trout.

Great opportunities for anglers remain at: Woods Canyon Lake and Willow Springs Lake. These summer trout specialties will continue to be stocked well throughout the summer, including a May stocking of tiger trout.

Big Lake. Also has good holdover trout, including high numbers of big cutthroats. Stockings will continue.

Carnero Lake. Experienced a winter kill of trout and has been replenished with high numbers of rainbow trout, including some larger-than-average trout. Also has been stocked with tiger trout.

East Fork Black River, Little Colorado River in Greer, and Silver Creek. All are being stocked with full numbers of trout through the summer with rainbow trout instead of Apache trout.

Luna Lake. Good holdover trout from last year, including big rainbows. Luna will continue to be stocked this year.

Greer Lakes. Heavily stocked. River and Tunnel have good numbers of big, holdover rainbow and brown trout.

Hulsey Lake. Dredged last summer, and for the first time since the Wallow Fire, was heavily stocked.

Show Low Lake and Fool Hollow Lake. Being stocked with large trout, including some large Apache trout.

All week long, the Pivot Fire north of Pine has sent an alarming amount of smoke drifting through Rim Country. Roundup reporter Alexis Bechman captured this image of the plume of smoke from on top of the Rim, miles from the fires â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which this week grew to more than 5,000 acres. However, Forest Service fire managers say the fire remains a low-intensity ground fire thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually doing more good than harm by removing brush and debris without hurting mature trees.
