Firefighters will let the low-intensity Horse Tank Fire atop the Rim burn within a 2,000-acre area to promote forest health, taking advantage of the mild conditions. The fire, which is six miles from Strawberry, will produce smoke in the region.

Amiable fire burning atop Rim by

The Forest Service continues to let a lightning-caused fire burn north of Strawberry, saying it is helping restore forest health. Crews have dug out a fire line around a 2,000-acre area and say they will let it expand to at least that size. As of this weekend, the Horse Tank Fire had burned through roughly 270 acres. Residents and motorists will continue to see and smell smoke during the burn, especially when traveling on Highway 260 toward Camp Verde. Brady Smith, public affairs officer with

the Coconino National Forest, said it is rare for the Forest Service to continue managed and prescribed burns this late into the year, but the cool, wet spring has allowed them to continue. “It has been kind of unique,” he said. The Horse Tank Fire started June 6 on top of the Mogollon Rim, six miles northwest of Strawberry, above the Fossil Springs Wilderness. The east line of the fire is burning up to the 2011 Slide Rock Fire, which was also lightning-caused and the Forest Service let burn to clean up the forest. The Horse Tank Fire should not burn into that area since a fire has already gone through it, Smith said.

Fire managers say they use these fires to benefit forest health, burning off dead and down forest litter, small underbrush and pine needles. This helps restore wildlife habitat, promotes healthy vegetation and reduces the risk of a severe fire during the hot, dry season. “It is doing a good job,” Smith said. “It is burning at a really low intensity and burning through those pine needles.” Depending on conditions, the fire could expand to the planned 2,000 acres or larger. It may die out before it reaches that size, Smith said. Forest Roads 9366R, 9384A, 9381 and a portion of 9361A will remain closed for the duration of the fire.

Gila County has the second highest rate of prescription drug abuse in Arizona. Michael O’Driscoll shared this staggering fact with the Gila County Board of Supervisors June 9 when asking to seek a grant to help address the problem. O’Driscoll, director of the county’s Health & Emergency Services Division, said he expects the county will get the $500,000 grant from the federal Centers for Disease Control through the state health department. The funding would help evaluate comprehensive county-level interventions for prescription drug overuse, misuse, abuse and overdose, with a special focus on the misuse of opiate pain relievers, O’Driscoll said. He said his division would spend the money on prevention strategies for both prescriptions and abuse. The county would: • Enhance and maximize the state’s Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP). Currently only 21 percent of primary care providers and pain management specialists) use the monitoring program, which tracks prescriptions for both prescribers and law enforcement. • Implement community or insurer/ health system interventions to prevent overdose and abuse. • Conduct policy evaluations • Develop rapid response projects. “Gila County will be expected to imple-

Firefighter has his truck stolen at gunpoint by

roundup staff reporter

The Facebook rumor mill has spread the story of local Payson Hotshot Charles Corey Baldner-Hathaway’s truck being stolen at gunpoint Sunday evening. “Dear Friends, my truck was stolen at gun point last night in Payson, AZ. It was last seen speeding south on the 87. I have reason to believe it was headed for Phoenix. I know this is a long shot, but please keep your eyes open,” wrote Baldner-Hathaway on his Facebook

page. Friends shared around Facebook. Local authorities say the incident happened at the 76 gas station next to the Mazatzal Casino on Tonto Apache Tribe land. Tribal Police Chief Mary Schlosser confirmed the incident, but had no details as of press time. Baldner-Hathaway said his truck is a teal 2000 Ford F150 with a camper shell. The license plate is: AWJ1557. The truck has numerous stickers on the back including one that says La Sportiva (a technical footwear compa-

ny) and another that has the initials CHTC that stands for the Climbers of Hueco Tanks. Baldner-Hathaway once worked for the Hueco Tanks State Park. Baldner-Hathaway could not be reached for comment as of press time, but wrote a follow up on Monday. “Thanks for all of the support. Still no word on the truck. Officers said it will likely be abandoned somewhere and hopefully get reported at some point,” he wrote. If anyone has information, please call the Tonto Apache Tribal Police at (928) 468-1050.

Bad choices spur difficult rescues Volunteers struggle to save cliff jumpers and flip-flop wearers by

roundup staff reporter

Volunteers performed another round of rescues at Fossil Creek this weekend as water goers continued to injure themselves, get lost and hike unprepared. The beauty of the travertine creek continues to lure people to its banks, especially as temperatures continue to rise in the Valley. Search and rescue volunteer groups like the Gila County Mounted Posse and Tonto Rim Search and Rescue are now manning a table at the upper trailhead on weekends to stop hikers from hiking into the canyon if they’re carrying only one bottle of THE WEATHER Outlook: Sunny and hot.

not to jump off. Because of the remote location, the man lay injured for more than an hour before paramedics arrived at 10:20 p.m. It took rescuers until midnight to get him out to the road using a metal litter fitted with a wheel, which rescuers pull up the rocky trail by hand. Paramedics then took him to Payson Regional Medical Center with a fractured pelvis. Then on Sunday, the Gila County Sheriff’s Office sent a deputy in to find a group of hikers who missed the trail out of the canyon and got lost. They were located and guided out uninjured.

On Thursday, TRSAR and the PineStrawberry Fire Department hiked in to save a 28-year-old man who had dislocated his hip. The man had leapt off the top of a large waterfall, one of the most popular locations along the Fossil Creek waterfall trail, injuring himself. Pine-Strawberry Fire Chief Gary Morris said rescuers have been called repeatedly to that area for people who hurt themselves jumping off the falls, some with life-threatening injuries. He said people misjudge the depth of the water and advised everyone

Death at Tonto Bridge by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

A 69-year-old Valley man died after falling on a trail at the Tonto Natural Bridge State Park Saturday. Warren Herrgott was knocked unconscious after falling down the Gowan Trail, said Rodney Cronk with the Gila County Sheriff’s Office. Cronk said Herrgott was near the upper end of the steep trail, about 300 feet from the trailhead. The Gowan Trail is about 2,200 feet long and leads to an observation deck in the creek bottom. It is one of the most popular ways to hike down below the bridge, but also one of the steepest. Tonto Rim Search and Rescue assisted Pine-Strawberry Fire, who carried Herrgott out on a backboard while Cronk coordinated a helicopter airlift from the parking lot. Herrgott was unconscious when the helicopter arrived, but breathing. It appeared the man was hiking with a group of people, Cronk said.

Bound by a shared destiny, a teen and a former boygenius inventor embark on a mission to unearth the secrets of a place somewhere in time and space that exists in their collective memory.

Gila County opened a new, $1.9 million bridge in the Tonto Basin area last week. The county mostly used federal transportation money to pay Meadow Valley Contractors to build the bridge over Oak Creek, a tributary of Tonto Creek. The county’s $650,000 share of the bridge came from the Gila County half-cent Transportation Excise Tax. The two-span, concrete girder bridge is the first phase to a two-part project to prevent Tonto Basin residents on the east side of the creek from getting stranded when Tonto Creek floods. When Tonto Creek floods, residents on the east side can’t cross, but still can get emergency resources. Worse yet, residents living on Ewing Drive in the vicinity of the Oak Creek east/west crossing can’t even get emergency resources. In March 2009, the Gila County Board of Supervisors and the Arizona Department of Transportation agreed to design an all-weather crossing system for Tonto Creek, using $3 million in federal funds plus $180,000 from Gila County. The project includes two bridges, first over Oak Creek then over Tonto Creek itself. When the price tag climbed over $17.5 million, Photo courtesy of Cheryl Sluyter the county broke the project into two parts. The county will continue to seek funding to build the Gila County last week held a ribbon cutting for a new bridge over Oak Creek — a second, more expensive bridge over Tonto Creek. tributary of Tonto Creek — paid for mostly with federal money.

heroin overdose,” O’Driscoll said in his documentation to the supervisors. The CDC would award $100,000 annually starting in October. O’Driscoll said approximately $70,000 would pay for the salary and benefits of an employee to administer the program, with the balance used for development and distribution of educational materials. A pilot program to address the problem started in 2012 in Graham, Greenlee, Pinal and Yavapai counties. According to O’Driscoll, his counterparts in these counties are reporting a marked decrease in drug-seeking patients and up to a 31 percent increase in prescriber participation.

Facts about opioid abuse

• Overdose deaths from prescription opioid pain relievers have quadrupled since 1999, totaling more than 16,000 people in the U.S. in 2013.

• Insurance companies in the U.S. pay $73 billion annually to treat opioid overdoses, according to the CDC.

• Changes in prescription patterns continue to fuel the epidemic.

• More than half — 58 percent — of all the pills prescribed in Arizona in 2011 were pain relievers.

• The number of opioids prescribed in the U.S. has increased four-fold in the past decade, although studies show no increase in reports of pain. • Heroin overdose death rates have been climbing sharply since 2010, shadowing the increase in rates of opioid addiction and prescription. • Opioid-related emergency room admissions in Arizona dropped 35 percent between 2008 and 2010, but have been rising sharply ever since. • Taxpayers have paid the bill for 53 percent of opioid-related Arizona emergency department cases through either AHCCCS or Medicaid.

• Hydrocodone and Oxycodone accounted for 82 percent of all pain relievers in the state in 2011. • Narcotic drug overdoses killed 490 people in Arizona in 2010, a 53.5 percent increase compared to the 2006-10 average. • Opioid painkillers accounted for 64 percent of those deaths in 2010. • People aged 15 to 24 accounted for 11 percent of the deaths.

Last week, on June 8, rescuers helped several other people out of the area, one man for heat exhaustion and several others for severe blisters after wearing flipflops down the upper trail. In one case, a man gave his shoes to his girlfriend who had blistered her feet wearing flip -flops. He tried to hike out barefoot. The paramedics cut up a towel and used duct tape to create a moccasin type shoe for him. “These rescues illustrate the difficulties of rescue in the wilderness,” said P-S Fire Chief Gary Morris. “Little cell service is available to report an emergency, which delays the response of res-

cuers. Travel distances further delay arrival to the patient. “Then there are the difficulties of carrying an incapacitated patient through rough terrain, which extends the time to complete a rescue.” Education

The Forest Service and volunteer members of the Mounted Posse are making a coordinated effort on weekends to limit hikers on the trail to those sufficiently fit and equipped. Forest Service employees and Posse volunteers wait at the trailhead and try to turn away people not able to handle the hike, Morris said. “That effort has substantially

reduced rescue responses to the trailhead.” The Forest Service also limits the parking area to 40 vehicles at the upper trailhead. Pine Strawberry Fire placed handouts at Uncle Tom’s and the Strawberry Market with information on the hike. Rescuers want hikers to realize what a tough trek awaits them before they reach the water from

the Strawberry side. The trail descends 1,400 feet in four miles — which makes for a grueling climb out. The F.S. closed FR 708 three years ago from Strawberry, preventing access to the lower area and the large waterfall by vehicle unless driven in from the Camp Verde side. The closure dramatically increased the need for rescues on the Fossil Springs Trail.

Fossil Creek Facts • The Fossil Springs upper trailhead accessed from Strawberry leads down to a series of springs, not the large waterfall. • Temperatures on the grueling hike exceed 100 degrees, with virtually no shade on the climb out in the afternoon. • Children under 13 should not attempt this hike, as they are especially vulnerable to heat exhaustion and heat stroke. • Dogs cannot tolerate the rough trail on their paws or the heat. • Wear hiking boots. Many people in flip-flops need rescuing. • Each hiker should carry a minimum of one gallon of water. • Wear proper clothing. You will get fried wearing only shorts or bikinis.

Here’s the thing: Often as not, before things can get better — they’ve got to get worse. So it seems with the plague of both prescription drug and illegal drug abuse — especially painkillers and their chemical cousin heroin. Turns out, Gila County ranks #2 statewide when it comes to the abuse of prescription drugs. The figures in Gila County’s application for a $500,000 grant from the federal Centers for Disease Control are shocking. Doctors are prescribing four times as many opioid painkillers as they were a decade ago — although there’s no evidence that the number of Americans in either chronic or short-term pain has increased. Doctors changed their prescribing practices a decade ago with the best of intentions. Some studies showed that doctors were not giving enough relief to many patients with acute pain — especial— In 2011, 4.2 million ly those with terminal Americans had used heroin conditions like cancer. at least once.

Private insurance National Institute on Drug Abuse companies pay about $73 billion annually to treat painkiller overdoses — and publicly funded Medicare and Medicaid programs a similar amount. They account for 58 percent of all the pills prescribed in Arizona. Tragically, people who get hooked on painkillers often end up addicted to heroin as a cheaper, more available alternative. That’s why heroin addiction and overdoses in rural communities like Payson have soared in recent years. Gila County hopes to get a $500,000 grant from the CDC to do something about the runaway problem. The money will help study and change prescribing patterns among local physicians. It will also help local officials understand the link between the prescription painkillers and the surge in heroin addiction and overdoses. It’s only one step in the comprehensive approach needed. The rise in addiction and overdoses constitutes a public health emergency. We must provide education for our children, oversight for our doctors and treatment for our addicts. We must move aggressively to confront this scourge at every level. It’s also worth noting that the often-criticized federal government remains a vital potential source of help in this crisis — especially the expertise and financial support from the federal Centers for Disease Control. Fortunately, Congress has provided the additional funding the CDC needs to help each of the states respond to this emergency. So while we’re dismayed to learn that Gila County ranks #2 two in abuse of prescription drugs statewide, we’re delighted to learn the county has applied for help from the CDC. As any drug counselor can tell you: Before you can kick the habit, you’ve got to drop the denial. So we’re no longer in denial about the severity of the problem here in Gila County. Now it’s time to work on the cure.

Magna Carta foundation for U.S. jurisprudence

TOWN OF PAYSON 303 N. Beeline Highway Phone: (928) 474-5242 Mayor - Kenny Evans

Bryan Chambers

state bar of arizona

On June 15, 1215, in the meadow of Runnymede, west of London, King John, more popularly known today as the evil Prince John of Robin Hood lore, affixed his royal seal to Magna Carta. He had little choice. Forty of his barons were in rebellion. They objected to the taxes he and his older brother King Richard had levied to support the crusades and the war to regain their lands in France. They had many other complaints, most of them related to the arbitrariness with which King John had ruled over them. They had taken London, and now King John had little choice but to concede to their demands. As a governing document, Magna Carta was short-lived. Within a couple of months John refused to follow the document and Pope Innocent III decreed under threat of excommunication that neither King John nor the rebellious barons should abide by it or attempt to enforce its provisions. Amazingly, this short-lived document kept getting resurrected. Later kings reissued it on several occasions — albeit with fewer limits on royal power. Then, in the early 1600s, Sir Edward Coke used Magna Carta to support his view that the common law of England had existed before anyone could remember, that William the Conqueror had agreed to follow this common law, and that Magna Carta contained the substance of the common law. Coke’s interpretation of Magna Carta went far beyond the original intent of its drafters creating what many scholars have called a mythical Magna Carta.

A century and a half later and on the other side of the Atlantic, the American colonists found themselves in a situation not unlike that of the rebellious barons of King John’s day. They felt the burden of high taxes to pay Britain’s war debt from the recently concluded Seven Years War (French and Indian War in America). They had many other grievances and generally saw the King taking back liberties the colonists previously enjoyed. The colonists studied Coke and his interpretation of Magna Carta. They believed King George III violated their rights as freemen guaranteed under Magna Carta. Hence, Magna Carta justified their own rebellion. When the Revolution was complete and the founders framed the United States Constitution, they included many relics from Magna Carta and from Coke’s mythical interpretation of it. As the United States Supreme Court has interpreted the Constitution, the justices have often resorted to using Magna Carta and Lord Coke to explain what the founders meant in their own document. So 800 years after King John’s humiliating concession, Magna Carta has become a foundational part of our own jurisprudence. More than anything else, it reminds us that no one or nothing, not even the King, or in our case, government itself, is above the law. Bryan B. Chambers is president-elect of the State Bar of Arizona. He has been an attorney with the Gila County Attorney’s Office for over 22 years. The views expressed in this column are his own.

Thanks for help with celebration Editor: The Payson Pioneer Cemetery board would like to express its deep appreciation and heartfelt thanks to those groups and individuals who participated in the Memorial Day Celebration held at the Pioneer Cemetery on May 24, 2015. Special thanks to Bill Sahno and the Veterans Honor Guard, Don Gibson for “Taps,” Ron and Don Gibson, Angela Godac and Dave Yoder for the musical tribute. One and all, we deeply appreciate your participation in this event. Pat Cline, Payson Pioneer Cemetery board

Alternative plan Editor: There is still a strong demand for institutions that offer four-year undergraduate degrees, especially if they specialize. For example, if you want to become a veterinarian you would probably want to attend CSU in Ft. Collins, Colo. for your undergrad degree because they are known for it. So I do hope that a campus here is not just general studies but finds a

unique niche. In a struggling economy, people with means do tend to “stay in school” because job opportunities are just so terrible. On a kind of sour note, anything but ASU would resonate badly. It would be proof that there is no confidence in the “opportunity.” It is, after all, the state’s largest and arguably most respected university. My suggestion for an alternative is to buy the golf course and expand the city park, then totally revamp Main Street so Payson becomes a destination for recreation instead of just a burgers and gas stop on the way to somewhere else. Scott McCleery

Fire danger rises along with calls for reform Federal officials deploy 10,000 wildlands firefighters by

Pete Aleshire

roundup editor

Despite a mild fire season so far in Rim Country, federal officials say they expect a rough fire season throughout the West. Last week U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell and U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack and U.S. Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell offered a preview of the 2015 wildfire season developed by the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) forecast. The top three federal land managers called for reforms in the way the federal government funds wildfire suppression efforts. Additionally, Secretary Jewell announced a partnership with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the veteran-based organization Team Rubicon to provide training to assist in wildland firefighting efforts this season. “Climate change, drought, fuel buildup, insects and disease are increasing the severity of catastrophic wildfire in America’s forests,” said Secretary Vilsack. “Together we are working to ensure we have the workforce, equipment, and interagency coordination necessary to respond safely and effectively to increasingly severe wildfire seasons.” The Forest Service alone has 10,000 firefighters and 21 air tankers mobilized for the fire season nationally. The plan this year calls for fire crews to suppress 98 percent of fires on initial attack during the next few, fire-prone months. Secretary Jewell said, “As we approach what could be a tough fire season across the West, we’re doing all we can to ensure that communities are stepping up to be Firewise and that we have the resources in place to mobilize quickly when fires start.” Pine and Strawberry are struggling to maintain their Firewise program, after losing most supportive state and federal grants due to budget cuts. The program relies mostly on donations and

fundraisers now, mostly to pay to haul off brush cleared from residential lots by homeowners. Gila County has offered the Pine-Strawberry program free disposal at landfills and brush pits, but has done relatively little to directly support Firewise programs in the many subdivisions set in the middle of a thickly overgrown forest. Major fires can throw out embers a mile ahead of the fire front, setting overgrown neighborhoods on fire even if the fire front itself remains far away. Payson has stalled any action on adopting a Wildland-Urban Interface fire-adapted building code for more than two years and doesn’t have an effective program to encourage or support Firewise clearing around homes in its neighborhoods. The town encouraged the establishment of a volunteer committee, but provided no support. A poorly advertised “Firewise Day” recently drew few homeowners and many of the original members of the Firewise committee have quit in frustration. Payson’s problems mirror difficulties across the West in marshaling towns, counties and homeowners to reduce wildfire risks to their communities brought on by the combination of a decade-long drought and a century of fire suppression and grazing that have dramatically increased tree densities. A wet May and June have for the first time in years resulted in a mild fire season in Central Arizona. The next month will likely see a rise in fire risk, until the onset of the monsoon pattern in mid to late July. However, elsewhere across the West the outlook remains more dangerous. The Department of the Interior recently released a strategy to address the increasing threat of wildfires that damage vital sagebrush landscapes and productive rangelands in the West, especially in the Great Basin states of California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon and Utah. The report,

The Forest Service plan this year calls for fire crews to suppress 98 percent of fires on initial attack during the next few, fire-prone months. An Integrated Rangeland Fire Management Strategy: Final Report to the Secretary of the Interior, May 2015, outlines a comprehensive, science-based approach for addressing the spread of cheatgrass and other invasive species that exacerbate the threat of fire. The report recommends increased training for rural firefighters and local volunteers as well as positioning fire management resources for more effective rangeland fire response. The report also focuses on the need to aggressively restore fire-impacted landscapes using native seed and local vegetation. Interior is ready to deploy about 4,500 personnel, including more than 3,200 firefighters and nearly 1,200 support personnel, as well as 700 engines and 130 pieces of heavy equipment in preparation for this year’s wildfire season. The department will have 100 Single Engine Airtankers (SEATS) ready nationally, as well as two large air tankers in Alaska. Vilsack and Jewell said effectively and safely managing or suppressing wildland fires as they occur is only one part of the response to more severe wild-

Truth in Taxation Hearing Notice of Tax Increase In compliance with section 42-17107, Arizona Revised Statutes, Gila County is notifying its property taxpayers of Gila’s intention to raise its primary property taxes over last year’s level. Gila is proposing an increase in primary property taxes of $2,610,889 or 14.8%. For example, the proposed tax increase will cause Gila’s primary property taxes on a $100,000 home to increase from $364.89 (total taxes that would be owed without the proposed tax increase) to $419.00 (total proposed taxes including the tax increase). This proposed increase is exclusive of increased primary property taxes received from new construction. The increase is also exclusive of any changes that may occur from property tax levies for voter approved bonded indebtedness or budget and tax overrides.

fire seasons. Community preparedness is also critical. USDA and Interior have been working with at-risk communities to promote community and homeowner involvement in mitigating wildfire risk, reducing hazardous fuels and accomplishing treatments that increase forest health and resilience. This year, the BLM created a position in the fire program and dedicated $500,000 in additional resources to coordinate training and preparedness for Rural Fire Protection Associations and volunteer fire departments to assist in fighting rangeland fires. The Forest Service is focused on increasing the pace and scale of restoration across the national forest system and working with communities to reduce the threat of catastrophic wildfire. The recent forecast indicates there is a 90 percent chance that this year’s fire suppression costs — for the Forest Service — will be between $810 million and $1.62 billion, and that such efforts may cost Interior between $281 million

pression exceeded the budgeted amount in all but eight years. Budget shortfalls are covered through transferring, or “borrowing” funds from other Forest Service and Interior programs that have already been cut over the last 20 years, including programs that can help keep forests and rangelands healthy and reduce the threat and cost of future catastrophic wildfires. “In order to protect the public, the portion of the Forest Service budget dedicated to combating fire has drastically increased from what it was 20 years ago,” said Vilsack. “This has led to substantial cuts in other areas of the Forest Service budget, including efforts to keep forests healthy, reduce fire risk, and strengthen rural economies. One percent of the most severe fires make up 30 percent of fire suppression costs. These fires should be funded like other natural disasters, rather than forcing the Forest Service to take money from other programs that can help reduce the severity and cost of future wildfires.” The secretaries urged the public to do their part to help prevent wildfires while preparing for fire season, noting that most wildfires are human-caused. They urged residents of the more than 70,000 communities at risk from wildfires to take proactive steps to remove flammable materials from around their structures and improve safety by developing community wildfire protection plans. Communities and residents can access educational resources available at www.fireadapted. org and through the “Firewise,” and “Ready, Set, Go!” programs.

Chiropractic care can benefit us as we grow older by

Teresa McQuerrey

roundup staff reporter

Chiropractic care for the aches and pains of aging was presented at the June 10 Lunch & Learn program at the Senior Circle. Guest speaker Dr. Robert Gear Jr., N.M.D.-D.C., told the audience Hippocrates, known as the Father of Western Medicine, said, “Look well to the spine for the cause of disease.” — So chiropractic health care has been around for thousands of years. The basic premise of the practice is decreased blood flow to the spinal cord and brain from the many injuries — large and small — each of us experience from babyhood to our senior years results in reduced spinal blood flow causing premature aging of various body parts. About the doctor

Gear grew up around medicine — both his father and his aunt practiced naturopathic and chiropractic medicine in Arizona as far back as the 1920s. He also has two sons practicing medicine in Payson.

Gear is the medical director of Comprehensive Health Services. He maintains an integrative medicine practice in Phoenix and Payson, working at the Payson Health & Wellness Center, 801 E. Highway 260. He received board certification in family medicine and minor surgery by the Naturopathic Physicians Medical Board. He is past president of the Arizona Naturopathic Medical Association, and served as a clinical professor for the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine and Health Sciences in Phoenix. He completed his premedical studies at Phoenix College. He received a degree in chiropractic medicine from the National College of Chiropractic in Chicago, Ill. and received his naturopathic medical degree from the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland Ore. in 1979. Gear’s subspecialty interest is “manipulative surgery.” He is a board certified family practitioner. The benefits of chiropractic medicine

“We’re computer driven machines with organic components,” Gear said. He said there are five things that can go wrong with people: • Genetics • Structure • Chemistry • Psychology • Pathological Organisms Gear said when evaluating how to best help a patient, these are the things he looks to in order to properly understand their presenting symptoms and condition. He further explained these issues in a report he spent nearly a year preparing for a presentation, “Manipulative Surgery” for the therapists and physicians at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital at the request of the Prince Salman Center for Disability Research, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in May 2008. His son, Robert L. Gear III, D.O., was his co-author. • Genetics: We are born with a specific DNA code. Humans are fast learning how to change the code for better or worse. In the next century medical genetic

Dr. Robert Gear Jr., N.M.D.-D.C. was the guest speaker at the June 10 Lunch & Learn program at the Senior Circle. After discussing the five things that “can go wrong with people” and giving some hands-on demonstrations, he took time to visit with individual members of the audience at the lunch. specialists will handle this type of disease, but for now, there is not much that can be done with problems created by DNA. • Structural Formation: Structural formation and configuration are the determiners of fluid movement throughout the body. Any interference with the free flow of fluid results in reduced nutrition and/or increased concentration of byproducts of cellular metabolism. The resultant cellular changes in nutrition and excretion manifest as disease. This affects the following three points: • Chemistry: Environmental and/or conscious choices of chemical input to the body determine whether the cell structure changes from moment to moment toward a healthy existence or a

diseased existence. • Psychology: As a human thinks so will the chemistry of the brain influence the functioning of the entire structure, as researched and documented by Hans Selye, M.D., in his books “Stress of Life” and “Stress without Distress” — written more than 50 years ago. This is well documented by our understanding of the normal and abnormal effects of stress to which neurobiologists are adding daily. • Organisms living in the body: Highly virulent organisms living in the body that should not be living in the body (one cell or more celled parasites) and low virulence organisms that are commonly found in the body, but living in abnormal numbers due to one of the preceding four items.

Treatment

A great many of these problems can be addressed with manipulative surgery, which is performed by hand and is movement of the body parts (not invasive). It is a technique for prevention of scar tissue formation and disrupting accumulation of scar tissue in and around the joints. Using the technique can increase circulation, decrease spinal nerve irritation, increase mobility, and decrease irritation of spine pain generators. With increased circulation, there is an increase in nutrition chemicals to tissue cells and increased waste chemicals from the tissue cells. It also balances how one tissue works in sequence with other tissue in the body.

Gear, in his report, said, “Noninvasive manipulative surgery is more effective at solving such a wide variety of diagnostic problems than is surgical intervention that it should always be considered first in those patients whose condition is not obviously in need of invasive surgical correction.” Among the benefits: reduction or elimination of pain; increase of joint range of motion to or toward normal; reduced feeling of our consciousness being trapped in a non-functional body; restoration of body fluid movement toward normal; restoration of balance between sympathetic and parasympathic nerve systems; restoration of endocrine and other organ functional delivery vascular mechanism.

Dr. Luis Alfonso Munoz was born in Chile and it was there, in his native country, that he trained in general surgery. He arrived in Phoenix, Ariz. in 1975 — “a rather small town then” — to extend his training in the field of cardiovascular surgery at St. Joseph’s Hospital and the Arizona Heart Institute, under the mentoring of Dr. Edward B. Dietrich. He also expanded his training at the Texas Heart Institute, Houston, Texas, under the mentoring of Dr. Denton Cooley. Dr. Munoz stated, “These were magical places, and I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to live those experiences.” Dr. Munoz started his surgical practice in Payson in 1978, and moved permanently to Payson in January 1981, after serving the

PAYSON ROUNDUP

Must-have health screenings for men by

such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol, increase the risk of developing diabetes. Diabetes can cause problems with the heart, eyes, feet, kidneys, nerves, and other body parts. When — Men 45 years of age or older should be screened for diabetes every three years. If a man is overweight, has high blood pressure or high cholesterol, his doctor may advise screening at a younger age. Individuals with pre-diabetes should be checked for type 2 diabetes every one to two years after initial diagnosis.

June is Men’s Health Month. For optimal health men should visit the doctor for an annual physical and be screened for certain diseases and conditions that are prevalent among men as they age. This Father’s Day, in conjunction with National Men’s Health Week, June 15-21, the care team at Payson Regional Medical Center urges women to encourage the special men in their lives to visit their doctors for an annual checkup. Research shows that men are four times less likely to consult a doctor when they experience medical problems. As a result, men are much more likely to need an emergency admission to a hospital with a serious or life-threatening condition which could have been prevented or dealt with at an earlier stage. National Men’s Health Week is intended to heighten the awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of disease among men. Below are some recommended screenings for men: Blood Pressure

Why — Keeping a close eye on blood pressure levels can help with early detection of hypertension or pre-hypertension. If left untreated, high blood pressure can increase the risk of heart attack, heart failure, strokes and kidney disease. When — Men should have their blood pressure checked once every two years. Cholesterol

Why — According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), people with high cholesterol have about twice the risk of heart disease as people with lower levels. Lowering cholesterol can reduce the risk of having a heart attack, needing heart bypass surgery or angioplasty, and dying of heart disease. When — Men should have their cholesterol checked every five years beginning at age 35 — or

Prostate Cancer

younger if he is a smoker and/ or has diabetes, high blood pressure, or a genetic predisposition to heart disease. Sexually Transmitted Diseases

Why — Depending on lifestyle and sexual history, men should talk to their doctor about whether they should be tested for certain sexually transmitted diseases (STDs — gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, human papilloma virus (HPV), Hepatitis B, HIV or other sexually transmitted infections). Early treatment can cure many STDs, lessen their symptoms and/or make the disease less likely to spread. When — All men who are sexually active, as well as their partners, should be tested regularly for STDs. The CDC has no set recommendations for the frequency, unless an individual engages in high-risk sexual practices or has symptoms such as genital sores, fluid-filled blisters, ulcerations or warts, or unusual discharge. The agency does advise yearly HIV testing for high-risk patients. Diabetes

Why — The rate of diabetes has dramatically increased. Of the 29.1 million people in the U.S. who have diabetes (about one out of 11 people), one out of four don’t know they have it. In the beginning, symptoms are so mild; the disease often goes undetected or is mistaken for some other ailment. Other health conditions,

Why — Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men. The disease is rare before age 50, and, when caught early, (i.e., while symptoms are limited to the prostate), is curable. Age is a big risk factor for prostate cancer. More than 70 percent of all men are diagnosed at age 65 or older. When — A prostate check is usually performed annually, as part of a man’s annual physical, beginning at age 50. African American men and those with a family history of prostate cancer should discuss screening at age 45. Colorectal Cancer

Why — According to the American Cancer Society, colon cancer is the second leading cause of death from cancer in U.S. adults. But if caught early, colorectal cancer is one of the most curable cancers. A colon screening provides both diagnosis and treatment, since any polyps found are removed and analyzed as part of the exam. When — All men should have a colorectal exam, which includes several tests to check the colon and rectum, beginning at age 50. If there is a family history of colorectal cancer, screening should begin 10 years earlier. Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Test

Why — The aorta is the main blood vessel that supplies blood to the abdomen, pelvis and legs. An

abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) occurs when an area of the aorta becomes very large or balloons out. The larger the aneurysm, the more likely it is to burst. This can be life threatening. Aneurysms can develop slowly over many years, often with no symptoms. Factors that can increase the risk of developing the problem include male gender, smoking, high blood pressure, and certain genetic factors. An AAA is most often seen in males over age 60 that have one or more additional risk factors. When — The good news is that an ultrasound can detect AAA. Screening is recommended for men between 65 and 75 who have smoked 100 or more cigarettes in their lifetime. Importance of Annual Checkup

All of these tests circle back to the importance of visiting your primary care doctor once a year for a checkup. Your doctor will keep tabs on your age and what tests are needed, as well as your family history and possible predisposition for certain diseases. Other screenings that may be performed during an annual visit may include a screening for depression, as well as an assessment of your weight and body mass index (BMI). Excess weight increases the risk for diabetes and heart disease. Your doctor may also check your skin for melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer, though highly curable when diagnosed early. For more information on any of these tests, contact Payson Regional Medical Center at (928) 474-3222, or visit the Health Library on www.paysonhospital. com.

sheriff’s officers honored

Gila County’s Board of Supervisors and its human resources department June 9 recognized four members of the Gila County Sheriff’s Office as its Employees of the Month for June: Gary Eggert, David Hornung, Jeff McClure and Travis Todd, all from the Payson GCSO substation. The family of an individual with mental problems who had become violent called the GCSO for help. The men made themselves familiar with the individual’s problems and rather than meeting violence with violence, just restrained the person until the individual could be sedated and transported to the hospital. The family wrote to the county expressing appreciation for the officers’ compassion with the situation. Attending the recognition ceremony at the Payson office of Gila County Supervisor Tommie Martin were, from left, Lt. Tim Scott, Gila County Sheriff Adam Shepherd, Jeff McClure, David Hornung, Travis Todd, Johnny Sanchez and Mike Johnson. Eggert was not in attendance.

Last year, Payson Unified School District shelved its online school, Payson Virtual Academy. Now, the district wants to resurrect the program. At the PUSD board meeting on June 8, Superintendent Greg Wyman presented the issue to the board as a simple name change, but board member Sheila DeSchaaf refused to vote on the name change when she understood rebooting the online school would cost $48,000. “I would feel comfortable postponing the meeting until another date,” she said. “I don’t think (the consequences of voting for a name change) was clearly understood by the board or the public.” At issue — with the name change vote, Wyman had hoped to move Payson Virtual Academy over to the jurisdiction of Payson Center for Success and call it PCS Online. He hopes the move will correct some serious errors in the program that had ended up costing the district money in its previous incarnation.

Wyman explained to the board that students would sign up for online courses but not complete the course. The Arizona Department of Education would then not pay for the class. “If I sign up for the course and don’t complete it, (the district) doesn’t get paid ADM (average daily membership),” said Wyman. He then went on to explain to the board that studies show 75 percent of students who sign up for an online class, do not finish that class, which is exactly what happened in Payson’s online program. So the district found itself paying for a lot of the upfront costs, without getting any money from the state for the dropouts. In addition, the state required the district to have the students work for 900 hours per course. Problem was, students did much of the work offline, such as when they wrote essays or completed homework. As a result, PUSD did not capture time spent and report to ADE. By integrating with PCS, Wyman hopes to capture and report more of the actual hours online students spend on class work and so not lose ADM. PCS has what Wyman calls a

PUSD Superintendent Greg Wyman proposed reviving online classes, but board member Shelia DeSchaaf pushed to delay the decision. blended program, with teachers available to help answer questions and keep the kids on track while they work on computers online. With the combination of a PCS framework and the online school, he hopes more students will finish the class — boosting state payments to the district. This idea would require hiring a teacher and administrative staff from PCS, hence the $48,000 upfront cost. Linda Gibson, lead teacher for PCS, would be the teacher. She was on-hand at the meeting to answer questions. She explained this tie to the online program would offer fewer classes. This would allow PCS and PUSD staff to figure out how to collect and record actual hours so as not to lose state payments. “We’re not looking for four classes,” she said. “We’re starting with two classes.” Wyman hopes the changes he suggested will capture more stu-

dents under the PUSD umbrella as well as bring in an estimated $85,000. “The issue that we have at hand in that we’re losing kids,” Wyman told the board. “The law allows for an alternative to suspension ... a kid would have an opportunity to continue their studies online at home.” He said other students have a long-term illness or simply do not do well in the high school setting. Currently, those students chose to go to another online school, such as Primavera. This is the greatest risk Wyman hopes to alleviate. “There is a secondary risk you can’t quantify. Every kid that leaves the school with no option. Every kid that signs up with Primavera. Every kid that goes to home-schooling. I can give you the numbers. We are losing kids whether it’s for one period or the whole day. This is the risk I am trying to solve,” he said. But DeSchaaf prevailed and the board voted to postpone the decision until Thursday, June 18 at 11:30 a.m. in the District Office board room.

Marjorie “GIGI” LaVancil-Tefertiller (1930-2015)

Marjorie (GIGI) LaVancil-Tefertiller passed on May 6, 2015 with family at bedside. Marjorie was born on Oct. 25, 1930. She was married to Jack D. LaVancil until 1995. Marjorie (GIGI) was known as the super caregiver. She loved caring for her grandchildren. She lived in Los Angeles until 2004 when she moved to Payson to be next to her daughter, Mari. She really loved being here in Payson; she had many friends and had a lot of kids call her Grandma GIGI. She had a daycare for 35 years in Los Angeles. She was also part of the Red Hats here in Payson where she made a lot of good friends, and traveled to different places with them. She really loved being with those ladies and sharing good times. Marjorie is preceded in death by her husband, Jack D. LaVancil;

and her parents, Mary E. Stoner and Ed Stoner. She is survived by her children, Mari K. Sickles and Jack D. LaVancil Jr.; and seven grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren whom she loved very much. She is also one of seven sisters and brother: Nora, Lois, Doris, Buck, Trudy, Jo, Lou and 125 family members. She will be missed so much by everyone. The service will be held at the Messinger’s Funeral Home, 901 S. Westerly Rd., Payson, Ariz. at 1 p.m., Saturday, June 20. Donations may be made to Hospice Compassus (RCHF) in Marjorie’s name in lieu of flowers — she so loved the hospice care-team.

Bernhard C. “Bernie” Harvey, Jr.

Roy Marshall Matchko (1942-2015)

Roy Marshall Matchko passed away at home, peacefully and in his sleep, on June 5, 2015 after a battle with cancer. Roy was born in Garden City, Mich. to Roy and Adele Matchko. He had a brother, David; and a sister, Diane. In 1963 he married Sharon Mancour and they moved to Detroit, Mich. They had two children, Eric Matchko and Mieke Parker. Roy taught physics at Grosse Pointe North High School for 30 years. He also spent 15 years with the U.S. Army TACOM. Professionally, his passion was light and optics. He authored several professional journal articles and obtained several patents through his work with Grant Gerhart and the Vehicle Research Team at the Tank-Automotive Research Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC). Roy retired and then moved to Payson in 2000 to pursue his love

of the night sky. Here in Payson, his greatest joy was sharing his passion for astronomy and science education. He loved to host “star parties” with his numerous telescopes. Over the last two years, Roy worked with Rim Country Middle School and PineStrawberry Elementary Students. He was extremely proud of their prize-winning accomplishments in science fairs as they went all the way from the district to the state level. He wanted students to know that with hard work they could achieve anything they wanted. Roy is survived by his wife, Sharon; his children, Eric and Mieke; and his grandson, Michael. Roy’s family wishes that in lieu of flowers, donations instead be made to your local hospice center or cancer research charity. They also request that you take time out tonight and look with wonder at the night sky.

Bernhard C. (“Bernie”) Harvey, Jr. passed away peacefully at home in Scottsdale, Ariz. on May 22, 2015. He was 91. He is survived by his daughters, Jeannine Smith, Denise Burbeck (husband Jim), Priscilla Beck (husband Patrick); dear friend and companion, Clovis Williamson; six grandchildren; a loving extended family and countless friends. He was the youngest of three children born to Bernhard C. (“Barney”) and Josephine Harvey in Rockford, Ill. He entered the University of Arizona in 1942 but interrupted his education by volunteering for the U.S. Army in 1943 and was honorably discharged in 1946. He married the love of his life, Louise Szakalun, in 1948, and they devoted their lives to each other until her death in 1995. Following his military service he returned to the U of A during the school year while working at Woodward Governor in Rockford during the summers. The lessons he learned and the friends he made at Woodward Governor were the foundation of a lifelong connection with Rockford along with his Swedish heritage and family there. He received his bachelor’s of science degree in mechanical engineering in 1949 and in 1952 he was hired by Garrett AiResearch in Los Angeles; then was transferred to Phoenix in 1955 making Arizona his permanent home. He retired in 1980 but promptly returned to work as a sub-contract engineering consultant for several more years. He participated in many historically significant engineer-

ing projects during his career from NASA’s Gemini manned-spacecraft program in the 1960s to Honeywell’s MK-50 torpedo project for the U.S. Navy in the 1980s. In later years he volunteered at the Air and Space Museum in San Diego where he helped to build a replica of the experimental Bell X-1 in which his hero Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier in 1947. His love of the west extended from the Arizona mountains where he built a family cabin with his own hands, to the ranches of Tucson and Williams where he volunteered at the Al-Marah Arabian Horse Farm owned by his friend and fellow Illinois native Ruth “Bazy” Tankersley. A life-long animal lover, he owned many dogs during his lifetime and even two Arabian horses acquired from an Al-Marah fundraising auction for Therapeutic Riding of Tucson (TROT); a 2 for 1 bargain since the mare he purchased was pregnant! He was generous with both his time and considerable engineering talents, working tirelessly to design, build or repair just about anything for his friends and family and expecting nothing in return. Services will be held at 2 p.m., Saturday, June 20 at First Southern Baptist Church of Scottsdale, 5230 N. Scottsdale Road, Scottsdale, Ariz. Memorial donations may be made to Therapeutic Riding of Tucson www.trotarizona.org. Messinger Scottsdale Funeral Home

Kathryn “Jimi” Renee Stewart (1931-2015)

Kathryn “Jimi” Renee Stewart, well-known and loved local watercolorist and friend to many in Rim Country, passed away on Tuesday, May 19, 2015. “Jimi,” as she was known since childhood by her friends and family, had just reached the age of 84. Jimi was born in May 16, 1931 in Pomona, Calif. to parents Perry Arant and Lorna Lucille Arant. She spent most of her life in California, where she graduated with honors from Pomona High School and went on to California State University, Los Angeles earning her bachelor’s degree in American studies and a master’s degree in cross-cultural bilingual education. Jimi taught elementary school (grades 1 and 3) for many years in both California and Arizona. Jimi is survived by her husband, Russ Stewart, whom she met in Monrovia, Calif. and married June 30, 1979. Russ and Jimi moved to Payson, Ariz. in 1998. Jimi enjoyed art as a hobby most of her life, especially watercolor painting. Soon after Russ and Jimi moved to Payson, Jimi enrolled in art and language classes at Gila Community College and was an avid student attending classes ever since. She was enrolled in watercolor

painting for the 2015 summer session. Her fellow students and instructor are very sad to lose Jimi as a loyal friend to all, but also as a “master” watercolorist, who was called upon frequently to demonstrate or critique one of the many watercolor techniques that she had refined over the years. Besides her loving husband, Russ, she is also survived by her sister, Anna; all of her four children from her first marriage: daughters, Elizabeth Alleruzzo and Kathy Meyer; sons, Tom Meyer and David Meyer; as well as five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Jimi donated her body to science, so there will be no funeral; however husband Russ has made arrangements for a memorial service to honor how Jimi has blessed our lives. The memorial service will be held at the Payson Elks Club on the corner of the Beeline and Airport Road from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, June 20, 2015. In lieu of flowers the family prefers that friends donate to the Jimi Stewart Artists’ Fund that will help “Starving Artists” needing art supplies. The fund is set up at the Wells Fargo Bank, Account #3588965024.

Payson ponders hefty increase in 2015-16 town budget by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

The Payson Town Council could move to adopt the 2016 fiscal year budget Thursday, which includes a number of capital improvements, including new softball field lights and turf on the soccer field. The budget also includes a 3 percent merit increase for town employees, but no cost of living adjustment for the eighth year. The council will hold a special meeting at 5 p.m. to discuss the budget and property tax and then go into its regularly scheduled meeting at 5:30 p.m. to discuss the corporate strategic plan and capital improvement plan. The meeting

takes place 303 N. Beeline Highway. “Although there are signs that the economy is very slowly starting to improve, balancing this budget has not been painless for our employees,” wrote former town manager Debra Galbraith before her recent departure. “At the end of the last fiscal year, we did not have the finical reserves in place that we should have to enable us to better weather the current economic storm. We need to build reserves to protect us in the future from such drastic reductions.” The town’s 2016 budget projects $40 million in expenses. The water department accounts for $17.4 million budgeted, but most of that involves building the C.C. Cragin pipeline — including a state

loan through the Water Infrastructure Finance Authority. The town’s $14.4 million general fund covers the cost of most of the town’s operations, including police and fire — but not the water department. Staffing accounts for 76 percent of the general fund budget. Payson pays $11.26 million to its 119 employees, which includes their salaries, retirement and healthcare. The town plans to hire two new dispatchers, one for half a year and the other full time; a new mechanic for streets and roads; a part-time position at the library; a plans examiner for half of the year and two street maintenance workers. It will also replace a police secretary with a property equipment

technician. With Galbraith gone, the town will hire a chief financial officer for several months. Capital improvement projects include: • Adding ball field lights to the Kiwanis east and west baseball fields. The town was initially going to install the lights during the facilities’ construction, but ran out of money. The town believes it can attract major softball and baseball tournaments by allowing more night games. • Replacing the artificial turf on the Rumsey Park south soccer field. The turf was installed in 2002 and is showing significant wear. • Widening Manzanita Drive to

Evergreen Drive to improve access to Rim Country Mall. The Gila County Transportation Sales tax will fund the project. • Channelizing the American Gulch flood plain between Westerly Road and Green Valley Park, including landscaping and sidewalks on either side of the channel. • Expanding parking at Green Valley Park by adding 267 spaces on a dirt lot currently used as a town yard. • Spending $300,000 for pavement preservation, including slurry seals. Items not funded by the council this year include expanding the Payson Area Trails System or improving the event center.

High School State Rodeo:

Tuesday, June 16, 2015

Payson pair headed for National Finals by

Keith Morris

roundup sports editor

Payson’s Monty James dismounts his horse during the tie down roping event on Thursday during the Arizona High School Rodeo Association State Finals Rodeo at Payson Event Center. James qualified for the National High School Finals Rodeo next month in Rock Springs, Wyo. in the event, along with Bryndee Hall, who qualified in breakaway roping.

Legendary bucks Chance West to the ground during the saddle bronc competition on Saturday afternoon.

The best young cowboys and cowgirls in the state wrapped up the Arizona High School Rodeo Association season with three days of action at Payson Event Center on Thursday-Saturday. And the very best of the best will continue on to the National High School Rodeo Association Finals Rodeo in Rock Springs, Wyo. July 12-18. The top four in the final season standings in each event qualify for the world’s biggest rodeo. That elite group includes a pair of Rim Country standouts. Monty James finished as the season reserve champion in tie down roping and Bryndee Hall as the reserve champion in breakaway roping. Hall, who just finished her freshman year at Payson High School, also finished ninth in the goat tying season standings. James entered the weekend leading the tie down point standings, but wound up second by one-half point. Still, he qualified for nationals, which was his goal. Prior to the State Finals he said he needed to catch his calf in all three rounds and he did just that. “I accomplished what I was planning on doing,” he said. It’ll be the first trip to the high school nationals for James, 17, who just finished his junior year at Payson Center For Success. He qualified for the National Junior High Finals Rodeo as an eighth-grader. He’ll have the same goal in Wyoming that he had in Payson. “The goal at nationals is to tie all of them down, just rope every one,” he said. Along with three days of competition, several of the cowboys and cowgirls took part in offering instruction to youngsters in the first ever Special Needs Rodeo on Thursday that is expected to be an annual event. James seemed to enjoy helping out. “I volunteered for that,” he said. “I had fun. It felt good to help them because it lets them get out and do stuff they don’t get the chance to do.” He also enjoyed the Cowboy/ Cowgirl Prom on Friday night at Julia Randall Elementary, an event held every year during the State Finals Rodeo. “Prom was very fun,” he said. “I danced quite a bit.” Among the 162 competitors were six from Rim Country. In addition

RIM TRAIL DOMESTIC WATER IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT Proposed changes to the 2015 2016 Rate Schedule for RTDWID I. Impact Fee for those properties that did not participate in the 1979 & 1985 bond levy assessments. In 1979 and 1985 there were two bonds issued to RTDWID by the Farmers Home Administration to build the filter plant. 139 property owners (parcels) were assessed approximately $2490 each for the bonds and associated costs. Sections 3.2.A.1 & 2 of the District Rules and Regulations provide as follows: Parcel Splits. A. If a new connection is requested for a lot, parcel or subdivision thereof not subject independently to the assessment for the 1979 acquisition and improvement of the District, or to any subsequent assessment for capital improvements and/or repairs, no connection will be made until: (1) An assessment fee is paid to the District, in an amount to be determined by the Board that is not less than the amounts assessed according to the 1979 assessment formula and any other assessments made after 1979; and, (2) An Impact Fee in the amount specified in the Rate Schedule is paid to the District for the future capital needs of the District. It has been proposed that parcels requesting a meter connection that did not participate in the bond levy assessments since 1979 be charged an Impact Fee of $3000 for a new meter to cover their contribution to the capital and upkeep costs of the system incurred since the installation of the filter plant. II. Flat Rate for Low Volume Water Users: Customers using 24,000 gallons of water or less for the fiscal year (July 1 to June 30) based on previous year usage will only pay the base rate of $79.00 per month and not be subject to a gallonage charge. In the event the water user exceeds 24,000 gallons usage for the fiscal year they will be charged at the end of the fiscal year the standard rate for excess usage in those months of excess usage and will not be eligible for the flat rate for the coming year.
