As a large plume of smoke hung over Payson Wednesday from a fire north of Strawberry, wildland and local firefighters headed south to quickly smother a brush fire near Rye in triple-digit temperatures. Crews knocked down the Brady Fire near Rye within a few hours, but Coconino National Forest fire managers continue to let the Horse Tank Fire north of Strawberry burn through the overgrown forest’s dead and down litter, small underbrush and pine needles, with plans to let it expand to 5,000 acres. No injuries have been reported in either fire.
Don Nunley, fire management officer with the Tonto National Forest, said crews had to pace themselves on the Brady Fire Wednesday, which broke out off the southbound lanes of State Route 87, just south of Rye. It was nearly 110 degrees with flame lengths six to eight feet high, he said. Crews could do little until three air tankers and two helicopters dropped retardant on the fire, knocking the flames down. They then went in and cut a perimeter around the fire to keep it from spreading. They contained it to roughly 15 acres. No structures were threatened, including the community of Deer Creek, which sits across the highway from where the fire started in a drain-
County property tax to rise by 15 percent by
Teresa McQuerrey
roundup staff reporter
Gila County will hold a June 23 hearing on its budget, which features a projected 15 percent increase in property tax collections — but no increase in the rate. New construction and rising assessed values will boost the county’s yield from the property tax by $2.6 million. The rate will remain $4.19 per $100 of assessed value, unchanged from 2010. The owner of a $200,000 house pays about $840 in property taxes to the county — one of the largest components of the property tax bill. The increase in assessed values accounts for most of the increase, after years of declining property values, said Jacque Griffin, assistant county manager. “On the whole, the total property values have risen by approximately $66 million; and $56 million, or 85 percent of the increase, is attributed to increased centrally assessed properties (mining and utilities),” she said. Griffin went on to explain the $4.19 primary tax rate would result in a $419 tax bill for a home with the net assessed value of $100,000. Property tax bills also include assessments for school districts, the Gila Community College WEATHER

District, fire and water districts where appropriate, along with other special districts. One such special district is the County Library District, which provides funding to eight libraries all over the county, plus a variety of special reading and other programs. Griffin is the county library director and oversees the funds generated through the library district tax and those that she and her staff acquire through grants and other sources. “The Library District levy is a secondary tax. Currently it is 20 cents per $100 on the secondary value, which is one-tenth of the primary value. The same $100,000 home currently pays $20 for library services. “Since 2010, the Library District has relied on contingency reserves. Last year, we had to lower by 5 percent what was distributed, to attempt to keep some reserves on hand. I am going to propose that the board (of supervisors) increase the rate for the Library District back to the original rate of .2425 per $100 (this rate was reduced in 1999). In this scenario, the aforementioned theoretical homeowner would pay $24.25 for library services.” The county must complete the following steps in its budget process before formal adoption: • Adopt preliminary budget on Tuesday, June 23. • Hold two community budget forums Wednesday, July 15 in Globe, and Thursday, July 16 in Payson. • Adopt the final budget on Tuesday, July 28. • Set tax rates for all taxing jurisdictions on Monday, Aug. 17.

Gone to pot: Dispensary faces lawsuits by
Alexis Bechman
roundup staff reporter
A judge has appointed a Valley receivership to run Payson’s Uncle Herbs medical marijuana dispensary after a falling out among the owners led to lawsuits. Business partners Andrew Provencio and Tiffany Young got into the medical marijuana business after voters approved Proposition 203, which legalized its use for certain medical conditions. They were appointed the sole board members of Desert Medical Campus (DMC) in 2012. They met previously when Provencio decided to invest in Arizona real estate and Tiffany was his agent, said Provencio’s attorney, Sal Rivera. DMC won the license to operate a dispensary in northern Gila County from the Arizona Department of Health Services and opened Uncle Herbs in the fall of 2013. With its proprietary extraction system, Uncle Herbs is one of the leading suppliers of medical marijuana edible products, supplying other dispensaries in the state as well as the large number of cardholders in Gila County. In late 2014, disputes arose between Tiffany and Matt Young and Provencio, according to online court documents. Things came to a head on Dec. 22 when the Youngs voted to remove Provencio as the offi-

The owners of Uncle Herbs medical marijuana dispensary in Payson have gotten into a legal tangle about who owns the business, resulting in appointment of a court guardian. cer and director of DMC and Tiffany unilaterally decided to pay herself a $150,000 salary. Provencio filed a preliminary injunction, asking that a court declare him DMC’s president and controlling shareholder. A two-day injunction hearing was held in mid March in a Maricopa County Superior courtroom where Tiffany and Provencio pre-
sented their cases. A court summary of the hearing was posted online. According to the summary, Tiffany and Provencio set up DMC as a not-for-profit as required by the Medical Marijuana Act. They

School board debates new version of vision by
Michele Nelson
roundup staff reporter
Do we mostly want “productive citizens”? Or should we go with “cultivating unique skills and abilities”? That’s the question before the Payson Unified School District Board, pondering Superintendent Greg Wyman’s proposed overhaul of the district’s vision statement.
Board member Shirley Dye, for one, has her doubts. “Why didn’t we say American civics?” she asked. “These bullet points don’t have anything to do with our rich traditions of our community (or) the values of our American heritage.” The discussion at a recent board meeting underscored the difficulty of coming up with
a couple of sentences to summarize a single approach to educating 2,400 students, with wildly different plans and abilities. Wyman overhauled the district’s existing mission statement in the course of a meeting involving 230 people. The group included parents, teachers, board members, students and community members.

Truck fire on Beeline Highway The brakes on a semi truck traveling south on State Route 87 Thursday afternoon caught fire, catching the trailer on fire and starting a small brush fire in the median, according to the Department of Public Safety. The driver of the rig was able to detach the trailer, which was full of meat, from the cab around 2 p.m. Firefighters put the trailer fire out as well as a small brush fire that started from sparks that had spread into the vegetation. The highway was closed in both directions for 45 minutes and then the right lane of southbound travel was closed for several more hours. No one was injured. Photo courtesy of Bret daCosta

Heroes are alive and well in our town
What started as a way for concerned residents to protect their beloved hamlet has spawned one of northern Arizona’s most popular mountain bike races. The Pine Strawberry Fuel Reduction, Inc. volunteer group hopes to attract 400 riders to the Sept. 12 Fire on the Rim mountain bike race in Pine this year. On Tuesday, the Tonto Apache Tribe made one of the largest donations to the group, writing a check for $5,000, to help them meet this goal. All money raised goes toward building new trails for mountain bikers and hikers, which double as firebreaks, and running a brush pickup program, which encourages residents to clear their yards of dead and down. “This is so darn generous of them,” said Ron Calderon, a member of the group. “We are thrilled.” Before its formation in 2004, no organized program existed to protect Pine and Strawberry from wildfire. The Tonto National Forest has worked to clear buffer zones around the community, but Gila County does not have a WildlandUrban Interface building code and no organized program to encourage Firewise brush clearing in the many unincorporated communities in the forest. “Our ability to live safely in this fire environment depends greatly on pre-fire activities taken by residents to protect lives and property,” according to the group’s website. At that time, the best advice during wildfire season was to keep your favorite belongings packed and ready to go by the front door in case you needed to evacuate because of an encroaching fire. That is what Bonita Creek Estates residents did in June of 1990 when the quick moving Dude

Members of the Tonto Apache Tribe this week presented a check for $5,000 to help the Pine Strawberry Fuel Reduction Committee protect the unincorporated communities from wildfire. Fire bore down through the community of 80 vacation homes. A crew of firefighters died in the blaze when a towering pillar of smoke and flame collapsed, engulfing the canyon in which the crew worked in flames. In 2013, 19 Prescott firefighters died trying to reach Yarnell in the face of a wildfire. That community had neither a cleared buffer zone nor an active Firewise program. Today, the majority of homeowners in Bonita Creek Estates have cleared their yards, creating defensible space that meet Firewise standards, to better thwart the threat of wildfire. P-S has never been faced with a major wildfire, but the threat is real. All around the community, tree densities have reached perhaps 1,000 per acre. A healthy ponderosa pine forest has 20 to 50 trees per acre. In 2005, the Pine Strawberry Fuel Reduction, Inc. spearheaded a fundraiser to fund maintenance of a Forest Service firebreak surrounding the community. The project was imperative, but the federal government did not have the money, according to the website. The project not only provided the community with the wildfire protection it desperately needed,
From page 1A toward Camp Verde. On Wednesday, crews performed burnout operations throughout the afternoon to solidify the western boundary. More smoke was visible from Highways 260 and 87, I-17, Payson, Pine, Strawberry, Blue Ridge and the Verde Valley. Officials said that was normal and expected smoke would be lighter Thursday. As of Thursday, the fire was at 1,518 acres with a 5,000-acre perimeter cut. “There is quite a bit more burning to do on that fire,” Nunley said of the Horse Tank. The Payson Hotshot crew will likely go from the Horse Tank Fire when they are finished to the Camillo Fire near Mormon Lake. Lightning also started that fire and officials are using it to restore forest health and reduce the risk of a larger fire. Smoke is visible off Lake Mary Road on the way to Flagstaff from Payson. The fire is currently at 2,381 acres and could grow to 46,000 acres if everything goes as planned, with crews letting it burn at a low intensity through the underbrush. Fire restrictions in effect
Since June 5, most types of fire or fire-causing activities are prohibited on the Tonto National Forest and in the Town of Payson. On Thursday, the Forest Service announced that campfires are also prohibited in Haigler Creek Campground on the Pleasant Valley Ranger District. All open fires are prohibited in Payson.
Recreational fires are only allowed in commercially built fire containers with spark arresting screens in place or permanently installed fire department approved recreational fire pits. This restriction does not apply to the use of charcoal or propane outdoor grills used for cooking on private property. The Parks and Recreation Department is allowing propane grills for cooking at all parks, including the Payson Event Center. No charcoal grills are allowed at any park or the event center. Fires, campfires and charcoal-burning devices are allowed in some developed campgrounds that have metal fire rings and metal pedestal grills. The use of petroleum-fueled stoves, lanterns, and heating devices are allowed. You cannot operate an internal combustion power tool, use welding equipment or torches with

attracted 287 riders. Walmart, Safeway and THAT Brewery also donated. The rough trail attracts riders from around the state and Southwest. Part of this year’s money will go toward fixing the brush pickup truck, which requires a $22,000 repair. That has delayed the brush pickup program this year, but the group is committed to get it going again in the upcoming weeks. Last year, the group collected 1,000 tons of brush from local residents, who cleared their yards and put brush piles at their curbs. “We had never picked up that much before,” he said. The repair will tap into the group’s funds and they hope residents and other businesses will donate. “We are committed as a group to the community to keep it clear and fire safe,” said Calderon and his wife Katie.

but it also was cited as one of the best examples of community/ agency cooperation in the country. Today, the group is still working on building up the firebreak. Volunteers recently completed the Bearfoot Trail and reworked sections of the Pine Canyon Trail. Besides the fire benefits of the trails, the system has a tremendous economic impact on P-S. Other projects undertaken by PSFR include reseeding the fuel break with native grasses to facilitate a natural burning cycle and the construction of a small diameter wood ramada at the Pine Community Center, a project that shows the practical application for forest products. Last year, the Tonto Apache Tribe donated $2,000. This year, when Calderon approached the tribe for more support, several officials asked how the group would spend the money. Calderon explained they would use it to support their fuel reduction efforts and the tribe increased its support to $5,000. “That is how much they believe in what we are doing,” he said. Last year, the group raised $16,000 through donations and the Fire on the Rim race, which

It’s the vision thing
• June 18, 1812: The War of 1812 against Great Britain begins. The American war declaration had been called in response to the British economic sanctions against the U.S. and the impressment of American seaman into the British Royal Navy. • June 19, 1905: In Pittsburgh, some 450 people attend the opening of the world’s first nickelodeon. The storefront theater boasted 96 seats and charged each patron 5 cents to view a 15-minute motion picture show. • June 20, 1975: Director Steven Spielberg’s thriller “Jaws” debuts in U.S. theaters. Jaws starred Roy Scheider as police chief Martin Brody and Richard Dreyfuss as a marine biologist. The film’s mechanical shark was named Bruce. • June 21, 1982: John W. Hinckley, Jr., who on March 30, 1981, shot President Ronald Reagan outside a Washington, D.C., hotel, is found not guilty of attempted murder by reason of insanity. • June 19, 1987: The U.S. Supreme Court struck down the Louisiana law that required that schools teach creationism.
It’s the vision thing. Who said that? Oh, yeah, George Bush I — who dismissed the “vision thing” in an offhand brush-off after a friend suggested he spend a long weekend at Camp David so he could figure out where he wanted to take the country. Well, now the Payson School Board is pondering similarly deep thoughts. The district’s current “vision statement” says we strive to produce “productive citizens.” The new language aims for “well-rounded learners, inspired to excel.” And just to demonstrate how hard it can be to please all the people all the time (apologies to Abe Lincoln), board member Shirley Dye said she’d like to see some reference to American Civics and those commonly shared traditional values. Well, it’s easy enough to get all flustered with civics and global citizenship and critical thinking and other buzz words. Frankly, we liked the old statement — and the new one too. Productive citizens, critical thinkers, unique skills, a safe and caring environment. What’s not to like? We just hope the board spends more time on the specifics of what happens in the classroom and not so much time on the glittering and interchangeable generalities. For instance, if your vision statement talks about students who are “physically and emotionally healthy,” don’t you have to fully support physical education and extracurricular programs? If your statement supports “a safe and supportive” environment, don’t you have to do more about the plague of heroin and prescription drug abuse threatening our children? If you talk about “cultivating unique skills,” don’t you have to fully support vocational education and a full range of advanced placement classes? We’re not objecting to the vision thing — we’re just hoping the board will not spend too much time wrangling about the language — and get on to making a difference for the students. We’re concerned about the board’s failure to retain some of its most challenging and creative teachers. We’re worried about the decline in the enrollment, the drop in the school ratings, the ever-increasing cost of fees confronting parents and an online class program in which only 25 percent of the students finish. Granted, the district continues to struggle with the impact of the state Legislature’s shocking lack of support for our kids. Granted, both the state and federal government continue to fashion hangman’s nooses out of spools of red tape. Granted, the schools must cope with the impact of drugs, family dysfunction and economic dislocation. Still, the school board has urgent problems to confront and some real solutions to consider — no matter how they decide to word the vision statement. Of course, words do matter — and so do perceptions. Just ask George Herbert Walker Bush — an authentic war hero still jumping out of airplanes for his 90th birthday, somehow derided in office as a “wimp.” He crushed the world’s sixth largest army in a week and got safely back out again and convinced Saudi Arabia to pay for it. So maybe you don’t need to spend too much time agonizing about the vision thing if you can get results. Actions, in the end, speak louder than words.
Honor sacrifice On June 25, we come to the anniversary of the deaths of six wildlands firefighters battling the Dude Fire in 1990. On June 30, we will come to the anniversary of the deaths of 19 Prescott firefighters battling the 2013 Yarnell Hill fire. As Abraham Lincoln observed standing over the graves of the 51,000 who died at Gettysburg: “We cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract.” All we can do is to dedicate ourselves to the cause for which they gave their lives — “the last full measure of devotion.” So we once more urge the Forest Service to hasten the Four Forest Restoration Initiative forward. We once more urge the Payson Town Council, the Gila County Board of Supervisors and the Star Valley Town Council to adopt a Wildlands Urban Interface building code and support firewise programs. Then we can think of the deaths of those firefighters, and so many others, with grief but no longer with shame. They died for our sins, as surely as those souls Lincoln mourned when he said, “It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.”

Wonderful family event Editor: Recently the Brunson and Walker families celebrated the 80th birthday of longtime Gila County resident Joyce Brunson. We enjoyed a wonderful meal at El Rancho Mexican Restaurant in Payson, with about 30 family members and friends in attendance from various Arizona communities and several states. The El Rancho staff were awesome to work with, both in the planning stage and on the date of the event. They went above and beyond. The party, included flowers, balloons, and a cake from Safeway Bakery and Floral. Safeway staff also provided outstanding customer service. They took our order over the phone and had it ready to go on time. Exactly the kind of service that sets businesses apart from one another. The residents of Payson are blessed to have two such outstanding businesses with which to associate. Tim and Linda Carter
Many thanks Editor: The G.E.S.T. (Gila Employment Special Training) Day Program has been held in one of the classrooms in the Payson First Assembly church for the last few years. As we are in the process of moving to our new location, we would like to take this time to thank the members of the church and Pastor Kelly for the use of not only the classroom and kitchen, but the rest of these people and places for various functions. We have loved being at this location and are so grateful for your generosity. We truly thank you. We also need to thank Mrs. Flake for Monday Music held every month. This has been a lot of fun for the members. Uncle Jay, we appreciate the time you spent with us teaching about Italy and Germany. We especially enjoyed the authentic foods you prepared and your “German outfit.” Thank you Jen from “Rim Fire Photography” for taking photos of our Special People; and Mr. & Mrs. Claus for the visit in December. We know how busy you are at that time of year and appreciate you fitting us in. The Payson Fire Department gave us a tour and let each individual get their picture taken by the fire truck and a “real” fireman. The Pizza Factory tour was more than we expected … getting to play with all that dough!
The Safeway tour was fun and educational — and the cookies were an added bonus. Many thanks for all the fresh eggs donated from the “Little Farm” in Gisela. We have made: egg sandwiches, egg salad, hard-boiled eggs for salads and quiche-in-a-cup. The “Farm Day” held in April was fun — feeding and petting the animals and relaxing on the new deck area and quiet area. Thank you Daniel and Gina. Besides our Special People, we have a lot of special parents and caregivers that are easy to work with. We thank you for your continued support. We make a great T.E.A.M. (Together Everyone Achieves More). We love, love, love our job! Leona Bowman, Janet Ostrom and Teresa Chernov, G.E.S.T. staff
Fireworks cause pollution Editor: I am not able to attend meetings of the city council so must hope members read the Roundup and will consider the following. According to AARP, a new study found that long-term exposure to pollution has been “linked to brain shrinkage, brain damage and impaired function.” Of course, there is also concern that air pollution can increase heart disease, stroke and lung problems. I can only hope that Arizona is no longer exposed to more “brain shrinkage” and that fireworks will no longer be the mainstay of our tourist industry in Payson. Sylvia Freeman
Lets break records Editor: Let us attain a new record with contributions to the Blood Drive to be held July 27. Our last total set a record for Payson and for the state of Arizona with 121 pints. The blood drive will be held at Shepherd of the Pines Lutheran Church on Wade. Paul Gonnerman
Thorpe punishes Dreamers Editor: In a recent Payson meeting, our representative, Bob Thorpe, informed his audience he had written a letter to ASU president Michael Crow, insisting in-state tuition be denied to so-called Dreamers — students brought to America as children by their undocumented Hispanic parents who were in
search of honorable employment. Thorpe demanded that no tuition reduction be given to these students, even though they had been in the country generally since childhood, had successfully graduated from public schools, had proven competence for success in higher education, and intended to develop careers that would contribute to our economy. Further, their parents had for years contributed as taxpayers to the Arizona economy. Thorpe said he threatened Presi dent Crow: Should these determined students receive in-state tuition, Thorpe would do all in his power as a state representative to pass a bill that would force ASU to grant in-state tuition to all who applied for ASU, no matter where they lived outside Arizona. After all, he said, out-of-state applicants were American citizens, whereas the Dreamers were not. Thorpe explained that he wanted to punish ASU for providing a lower cost education for undocumented Arizona residents, even though they had lived here most of their lives and their families had paid taxes. Out-of-state applicants pay extra to our universities because they can afford to do so, while Dreamers do not have the funds to pay the full cost of education. Further, out-of-state applicants would likely return to their home areas after graduating, while local Dreamers would likely continue to live near their families in Arizona and contribute to the growth of our economy. Thorpe’s vindictiveness is so pointed that he is willing to deprive our state of thousands of dedicated, hardworking youths from attaining degrees and skills that advance their own and the nation’s economic success just because their undocumented parents had brought them to this country as children. He apparently believes in making children suffer to the sins of their parents. Now suppose there are some Dreamers right here in our own community. What is better for the community: that they get an affordable education, or that they be deprived of an education? So, who has the better character: young people who are willing to work hard to improve their lives by developing skills we need for our economy, or a legislator who is driven by spite and is willing to throw them all “under the bus”?

New store offers furniture, appliances by
Michele Nelson
roundup staff reporter
Pete and Vicki Allen decided Payson needed a furniture store that fell somewhere between thrift and new – so they started Affordable Furniture and Appliances on Cedar Lane. “Mostly our slogan is middle of the road,” said Vicki. Now, some folks still remember the old store at that location, Cedar Lane Antiques and some even remember the welding shop that used to be next door. “Sometimes people will come in asking for Payson Welding,” said Vicki. But she and Pete have rented both sides of the building to house a tasteful showroom with couches, end tables, dining room tables, wall units, bed frames, desks, refrigerators, stoves, and decorating materials — some made by local woodworker Chad Miner. They will even sell the rugs under their feet. Vicki said the two decided the cool mountain town, with its bright future, would be a good place to help folks find whatever they need to decorate their home, cabin or vacation place. People can find whatever suits their taste from used furniture to new. The Allens even have a few special pieces on consignment, such as the antique sideboard next to Vicki’s desk at the front of the store. Both of the Allens were raised in Phoenix, but Vicki said after getting very ill three years ago, they decided to live her dream of living on a houseboat once she got better. “We lived at Roosevelt Lake for a year,” said Vicki, “I loved it.” She reveled in the peace and quiet and lack of traffic. But to stay afloat, Pete had to leave quite often to take on odd jobs in Phoenix. “It was hard on us,” she said. “I ended up living out there alone.” So, the two decided to sell off the boat, rent a house in Deer Valley and the old Garvin RV building in Rye. They thought with all that traffic going by, they would get plenty of business. It didn’t turn out as they planned. “People only drive through Rye,” said Vicki. With no traffic but huge centipedes and scorpions

plaguing them more often than not, the two pulled up stakes and opened up on Cedar Lane in Payson. “It’s been 200 percent better,” said Vicki. Pete said he’s worked in the furniture business for 30 years. “I used to own Rawhide Furniture (in the Valley),” he said. He also knows his appliances and offers a 30-day guarantee. Vicki said Pete has a knack for picking out furniture that will fly out of the showroom, but if a customer doesn’t find what they are looking for, Vicki can probably order it. She said they keep the price of their new furniture lower because they don’t have as high of a mark up. “We’re simply trying to offer a service and make a living,” she said. But Vicki said most people that come to buy from their shop shy away from new. “They’ll say, ‘Oh, I don’t want to buy new. I’d rather buy used,’” so Vicki offers to show them around the shop. The shop is open Monday through Friday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 to 4. The address is 111 E. Cedar. “I tell people turn at the South Circle K,” said Vicki. For more information, call (928) 963-1313.
Local takes top honors at quilt show by
Teresa McQuerrey
roundup staff reporter
Rim Country resident Elaine Putnam took home top honors from the 19th Annual Strawberry Patchers Quilt Show held June 12-13 in Pine. The viewers selected Putnam’s quilt, Midnight Dahlia, as Best of Show and Best Large Quilt, it also won the Arizona Quilters Hall of Fame ribbon. Quilted by Gina Parris-Perkes, Putnam’s award-winning entry literally sparkled from applied crystals. A resident of Pine, Putnam is an avid quilter (in her spare time). Moving out of the singular creative realm, she is active in promoting quilting statewide. Putnam is the current president of the Arizona Quilters Guild with offices in Mesa, traveling to chapter meetings all around Arizona and was previously on the board of the Arizona Quilters Hall of Fame. Putnam also serves on the board of the local Rim Country Quilt Roundup and is a co-chair of the nearly weeklong show held each October. She continues to be an active member of the Strawberry Patchers, Shooflys, Ponderosa Piecers and Threadplayers chapters located in Payson and Pine. Putnam was not the only quilter honored for their efforts at the show, which displayed 90 quilts by 50 quilters. Entries were from as far away as Prescott and Happy Jack . Show winners in addition to Putnam were: Viewer’s Choice Awards Novice Quilter Award – Celestial Circles by Jane Wilcox Art Quilts 1st – Bernardo by Juanita Marcell 2nd – Summer Hummer by Maureen Pastika 3rd – June in Fairbanks by Kathy MacCleary Large Quilts 2nd – Bruce’s Bear by Sandy Davidson 3rd – Fall Windows by Jane Sullivan Hand Quilted 1st – If There is a will There is a Way by Kathy MacCleary 2nd – What a Great Opportunity by Louise Bossert 3rd – Refined Sugar by Joy Gregory Small Quilts 1st – Wilma Bling by Monika Hancock 2nd – Ghost Leaves by Debbie Stanton 3rd – Days of Autumn by Leslie Peacock Wall Quilts 1st – This is How My Garden Grows by Brenda Dickinson 2nd – Winter Wildlife III by Peter Plante 3rd – The Doggies in the Windows by Monika Hancock Wearables (Jackets) 1st – Sedona Sunrise by Emily Gore 2nd – Remember Our Wounded Warriors by Emily Gore

Maureen Pastika with the Strawberry Patchers said the group would like to thank all of the sponsors, vendors and show attendees for their support. “The show was a big success with many viewers enjoying the beautiful array of quilts and wearables,” she added. The Pine/Strawberry Food Bank received a heaping grocery cart of donated food. Nancy Anderson was the lucky winner of the quilt offered to all who brought in non-perishable food items for the Pine-Strawberry Food Bank or gave financial support.
After half a decade, Quilting Sisters closes by
Michele Nelson
roundup staff reporter
Cheryl Dolby and her husband took over the quilting shop five and a half years ago, renaming it Quilting Sisters, but now they have decided it is time to close the doors. “My husband retires soon and it’s just time,” said Dolby. The two plan to travel in their RV and take it easy. She said the last day for the shop will be June 30 and she’s selling everything at 30 percent off. Customers may buy fabric, notions and patterns as well as anything “not nailed down,” said Dolby. She said she has learned so much and had a wonderful time owning the shop.
“It was fun,” said Dolby of her years as a quilt shop owner. The Quilting Sisters shop has been home to many community events from quilting classes put on by local quilters to late night marathon sewing circles to make the dancing trees for the Fiesta Bowl Parade. Dolby said Susan Garrett, wife of Town of Payson’s Assistant Town Manager LaRon Garrett, designed the trees, but her shop served as the base to get all of the costumes sewed and ready on time. Dolby said she enjoyed supporting the community in many other ways as well from clothing drives for the school district and Payson Community Kids, to backpack drives for back to school, raising money for the veterans
to get flags out, supporting the Blue Ridge Fire Department, the Payson Art League, and when the cheerleaders asked for support, Quilting Sisters was there. When asked what local quilters will do without her, Dolby said they would do as they have always done — go outside of Payson for their supplies. “Most of our business came from out-of-towners,” said Dolby. “Most shops would tell you that. You just can’t survive on local business.” She said local quilters tend to get their supplies from Phoenix, Prescott, Flagstaff or the Internet. Until June 30, Quilting Sisters will be open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. For more information, call the shop at (928) 468-6360.

aroundthe rim Quilters draw crowds to Pine area Visitors to the Strawberry Patchers 19th Annual Quilt Show stoically studied the award-winning quilt obviously marveling at the workmanship and creativity that went into crafting it. But as some walked away, murmurs among spectators were of being dizzy. Most likely, concentration on the three-dimensional appearing quilt had cast a perception of depth and virtual reality that caught onlookers off guard. Quilts are not known for maze-like 3-D effects more often seen in today’s state of the art, high-tech movies. Ruth Fulton of Payson entered the quilt, which she dubbed “Labyrinth Walk.” Since labyrinth hints at a confusing combination of paths that make it difficult to find an exit, admirers deemed the title apropos. Fulton says she found the pattern on the Internet and fashioned it in Stonehenge fabric. Debbie Stanton did the actual quilting. The Quilt Show, which was held June 12-13 in the Pine Cultural Hall, drew hundreds of visitors from around the state to browse and admire quilts, bed runners and wearables crafted by Strawberry Patchers members and others. The Patchers meet at 9 a.m. the first and third Thursdays of each month in the Isabelle Hunt Memorial Public Library activity room. For more information regarding membership, call (480) 703-4056.

The library staff has slated an exciting agenda of movies to be shown during upcoming “Movie Madness” events at 1 p.m. on select Thursdays. The fun begins on June 25 with the showing of “Big Hero 6” and continues July 16 with “Strange Magic.” On July 23 “The Dog who Saved Summer” will be shown. It will be followed up on July 30 with “We Bought a Zoo.” All movies are rated PG, but parents are responsible for judging the suitability of them for their children who should bring pillows so as to be comfortable on the floor. Refreshments will be provided. Exploring Social Security
Should you begin collecting Social Security at the earliest opportunity — age 62 — and receive a permanently reduced benefit or should you wait until your full retirement age and collect 100 percent of your benefits? That’s a question all seniors face when considering retirement. There is no one answer that fits all, but fortunately there’s a seminar at 3 p.m. today, Friday, June 19 at the Isabelle Hunt Memorial Library Activity Room that will help answer that question and more. Jeff Young, senior vice president of First Financial Equity Corporation will head the free seminar, which is touted to be educational only with no sales pitches. Topics Young will discuss include: Why is it generally not beneficial to claim benefits early? How can you utilize spousal benefits to increase your lifetime income? What benefits are available to ex-spouses and how does one claim them? How do survivor benefits work and when can one access them? Anyone considering applying for Social Security benefits is encouraged to attend. Fire restrictions continue
Tonto National Forest fire restrictions remain in effect even though several rainfalls over the past couple of weeks have wetted the Rim Country. Those restrictions could remain until Aug. 30 or until they are lifted by Forest Service officials. Violating the restrictions can result in a $5,000 fine and imprisonment of up to six months.

This week Lucy Karrys of Tonto Village submitted a gardening tip: The abundance of rain has caused a rose fungus that spreads rapidly and can damage and sometimes kill roses. It is called “black spot” and has spread to most rose bushes in the Village. Rose lovers can go online and look up “Black Spot” and find home remedies and commercial fungicides or call Plant Fair and ask for help.

When it comes to future events, life has a way of making us pay a price for overconfidence. Last week I told you about the morning at age 4 that I got up at 4 in the morning and sneaked across the street to see the sunrise because Mom wouldn’t let “the kid” cross the street on his own. I didn’t see the sunrise because it was a rainy day, but I at least learned how to sneak back inside, hang my by then sodden shirt and shorts on the back of a chair, clamber back in bed, and arise at my regular time looking like the innocent angel I was. And not a bit smarter than I was when I went out, Johnny. Not one bit smarter. The next time I can remember things not your turn working out according to plan was no fault of mine. This time I was the innocent member of the group. Also the victim. Mom woke me up one Easter Sunday Tom Garrett morning at age 6 and told me to go raise the window shade in the kitchen. I’ll let you guess what I thought of climbing out of a warm bed to raise a window shade on a icy 1938 Easter morning in an unheated house in New York City when there was still snow on the ground. What I said to myself about the whole affair when the %$#@! shade got stuck, wouldn’t come down, and then had the unmitigated gall to crash down on my head, I will have to leave to your imagination. Otherwise they won’t print this. And after that ... You won’t believe this, Johnny! After Mom and my oldest brother Billy got up and fixed the dumb shade they had the nerve to tell me to go try it again! So I did! Up the shade went — and back to bed went one very mad kid! An hour or so later Billy grabbed me by one ear and dragged me out into the kitchen to discover an Easter basket perilously perched on a windowsill. Well, hell! Who knew that thing was there? Anyway, who gets Easter baskets during the Depression? It was my first. Also, I might add, my only. Ah, yes! Life has its little way of cutting us down a peg or two. I remember a %$#@! staff sergeant loadmaster on an Air Force aircraft that often flew into Karachi. The kid never listened to anything anyone said. He was always in a hurry, and every time I worked on his %$#@! aircraft he managed to be right in the way until I ordered him off the plane and told him to stay off until I was done. You know the type, Johnny? The type that comes running out the cargo door of the aircraft yelling, “Hey! Where’s my manifest?” when the dumb thing is right there in his hand — and does it five seconds after you’ve told the boys, “OK! Pull the steps!” It was an 11-foot drop down onto the tarmac. You can break a leg — or even two of them — doing that. They said they were going to bed him down in our staff house until he could travel, but we told them, “Like hell you are!” Then there was the kid at Sheppard Air Force Base who pestered everybody with his broken down wreck of a motorcycle. No one could go out on the quiet dirt roads between the base and the town for a cool drive that hot summer of 1957 without him wanting to tag along, do wheelies, make clouds of dust, and just generally be a pain. His favorite nighttime trick anytime there were three of them was to lag behind, pull off, wait for the other two to come back looking for him — side by side so no one had to eat dirt — and then zoom between the two bike lights, a dangerous procedure on a dark, rutted road. No one ever knew for sure what happened the night he integrated himself with the radiator cap of a large gravel truck ... But, we could guess ...

Last week’s question asked if you could name the country music singer who sang the 2003 Top 5 hit “Cowboys Like Us.” During his three-decade run in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, he had an astonishing 31 No. 1 singles, beginning with 1982’s “Fool Hearted Memory.” The choices were: A) Garth Brooks, B) Ronnie Milsap, C) Randy Travis, and D) George Strait. The correct answer was George Strait. A (Really, Really Final) Note
After having written over 300 weekly music trivia articles for the Roundup, dating back to 2009 (and only missing one week due to a trip to the Philippines to meet my wife, Ann, in 2010), it’s time for this drugstore cowboy to put down his pen and pick up his waytoo-dusty fishing pole. I’d like to thank the Payson Roundup for giving me the opportunity to share with Rim Country readers a little of what I’ve gleaned over the years about the music industry, which will “Forever And For Always”
(Shania Twain, 2003) have a special place in my heart. I’d like to give special thanks to publisher John Naughton and editor Pete Aleshire for keeping me on these past six years; to Teresa McQuerrey for correcting (a hard task, for sure) my dangling participles, misplaced modifiers and other awkward constructions and to Dave Rawsthorne for enhancing my pictures to make them presentable for publication — and say “So Long, It’s Been Good To Know Ya” (The Weavers, 1951). To the Roundup reporters and other staff, especially Paula VanBuskirk, who always greeted me with a beaming smile each Tuesday and Friday when I came to the office to pick up the newspaper, always “Let A Smile Be Your Umbrella” (The Andrew Sisters, 1947). And, of course, my sincere appreciation goes out to all Roundup readers who took the time each Friday to lumber through my weekly scribblings. I’ve made many new friends through my music trivia interactive articles, and for that I’m very blessed. To all who have read my articles over the years, I humbly say “I Thank You” (Sam and Dave, 1968) and “Happy Trails To You, Until We Meet Again” as was so beautifully sung by Roy Rogers and his wife Dale Evans in 1952.

CROSSWORD
Another great community picnic in the Creek The Christopher Creek community picnic came off without a hitch. There was never a doubt. Never mind that Chuck Schmitt called three times in the hours prior to the event to get my take on when the rain was going to stop. But stop it did and right at 4 another week o’clock! The question then in the creek was whether anybody would show up after a day of offand-on showers. First we drained the rainwater off of the new white tarp canopy and the grills were fired up. Tables were wiped down and the table- Rod Britain cloths were spread. Then Bud light John pulled in with his self-contained traveling music show packed into a golf cart. Everything was set up and ready to go. It was 4:05 … 4:10 … and then here they come. First just one or two, but soon they began arriving in hordes. Seventy-five folks didn’t give a second thought to a little mud and cool afternoon temps. After all, it’s a DAMP COOL! And these are Creek people who, for the most part, worship the rain. Four long tables of side dishes and desserts complemented the burgers and brats cooked up by the CCHOA. What a spread it was. My two plates were consumed while overseeing the sale of raffle tickets. At the next table, Mike Milburn was handling the duck race sales. For a buck a duck you select your winning rubber duck from one container, register the number with Mike who logs the duck’s number with your name on the clipboard, and you then deposit your ducky in the second container. OK, where are we going with this? Dean Dodson was in charge of the duck race. He enlisted two young fellas, Jack and Leif, to dump the ducks in the creek to begin the race and then shepherd the reluctant ones downstream. Well, when they dumped the ducks — wow! — they see all the cash and the clipboard floating down the creek with the ducks! In a mad dash over the boulders in the creek bottom, they quickly captured the clipboard and desperately collected the escaping bills. Meanwhile, Mike was innocently eating his food and in his own defense said, ”Hey, I sold all the ducks.”

Karen Schmitt and John Mitchell were two of the happy worker bees at the recent CCHOA community picnic. We’ll never know who dumped the selected ducks back into the container with the clipboard and the cash in the bottom. What we do know is it took a bit of deciphering to read the smeared ink with the names of the winners. It goes without saying; the prize money was “laundered.” Michelle immediately donated her dripping third-place winnings back to the CCHOA as did the first-place prize winner. Eight-yearold, Jace, decided to keep his prize for second place, wet or not! Thanks to all the folks who helped in the set-up, cooked, cleaned up, or came back on Sunday to take it all down. And thanks to the culprit who combined the ducks and the cash. You made for a hilarious culmination to a great picnic. Over at the Grey Hackle Lodge, 55 of the Reynolds and the Melchers got together to celebrate the 80th birthday of family matriarch, Maxine Reynolds. Joining in to help her celebrate were three of her brothers and the youngest of the celebrants was 5-month-old great-grandson, Gavin. Our weather did little to damper the spirits of family members who came from California, Montana, Tennessee and the Valley. It was
noted that family member, Larry Melcher, was a former area law enforcement official. Happy birthday to Maxine and it was very nice to meet you! For just the second time this century, Fourth of July falls on a Saturday. Two weeks from tomorrow at 10 a.m. is the 2015 edition of our little hometown parade. More than a celebration of the founding of our country, our parade is a portrait of patriotism and smalltown Americana. Mark your calendar and don’t miss this one! My youngest sister, Linda, is a West Valley elementary school music teacher. A while back she shared this: Yesterday was “Career Day” at our school, and we had many adults from various lines of work presenting to our Kinder to fifth-grade students. I happened to be in the room when one presenter was asking a very young girl what she wanted to be when she grew up. Now, this girl is very soft-spoken and shy, so I was quite startled by her response. Apparently, so was the presenter, because she asked her to repeat what she said. This time, however, we both heard the initial consonant sound much more clearly. So, what does the little girl want to be? “A cooker” … and that’s another week in the Creek.

Saving the C.C. Cragin watershed
by
Pete Aleshire
roundup editor
Mind the spotted owls. And the goshawks too. But get moving anyhow. That’s the gist of the Coconino National Forest’s effort to thin the dense stands of pines on the watershed of the C.C. Cragin Reservoir — before a disaster overtakes Payson’s water supply. Foresters have already started work on preparing a $1.5 million environmental assessment of a plan to cut maybe 60 million trees on the 64,000-acre watershed that drains into the long, deep, narrow reservoir. The Salt River Project each year pumps some 11,000 acre-feet from the reservoir and sends it down the East Verde River to reservoirs supplying Phoenix. Payson is now building the $30 million final phase of a pipeline to take 3,000 acre-feet annually from the reservoir, enough to support its plans for a university and an ultimate population of some 38,000 residents. The assessment will take about two years and the Forest Service has so far rounded up about half the money it needs to complete the work. The overall plan calls for thinning most of the 64,000-acre from perhaps 1,000 trees per acre to more like 50 trees per acre, said Polly Haessig, project manager for the C.C. Cragin Fuels Reduction Project. If all goes well, the actual thinning work would start in perhaps 2017, providing the Forest Service can find a contractor for the massive undertaking. As it happens, the contractor for the Four Forest Restoration Initiative — Good Earth Power Arizona, will this summer start thinning a 4,000-acre portion of
the watershed that drains into East Clear Creek. That existing project — called a task order — was included in the initial bundle of 4FRI contracts. But the 4FRI contractor probably won’t get around to thinning the rest of the watershed for years. As a result, the Salt River Project, Payson, Gila County, the National Forest Foundation and others signed a memorandum of understanding to partner with the Forest Service to protect the watershed. Haessig said the group hopes to have an overall plan for the thinning project ready to release before the end of the year. “We have a lot of work to do before we can start cutting trees.” Coconino National Forest forester Mary Price said dense stands of drought-hardy ponderosa pine cover about 60 percent of the 64,000 acres. The rest harbor mixed conifers including pines, oaks and fir trees. A 2009 assessment concluded that the branches of neighboring trees interlock on most of the watershed, making it prone to crown fires throughout. The tree crowding has resulted in widespread mistletoe and bark beetle infestations. Only about 5 percent of the watershed is in a natural, uncrowded condition. The project will likely follow the general outlines of the forest restoration approach used in the 4FRI project, which leaves most of the older, ponderosa pines greater than 18 inches in diameter and focuses mostly on trees from 9 to 16 inches in diameter. However, in this case, the treatment is mostly intended to reduce the risk of crown fires, rather than a complex effort to restore forest health and
diversity, said Price. “If we’ve got the larger trees 12 and 14 inches in diameter, then contractors will pay for those trees. If we’ve got a lot of trees under 10 inches, then it’s going to cost us money to get that material out of the forest,” said Price. But the plan for the thinning will also have to comply with the Coconino Forest’s plan calling for protecting oldgrowth trees — not to mention ensuring the survival of the Mexican spotted owl, an endearing, endangered little owl depending on old-growth forest for nesting and foraging. “We have 24 known Mexican spotted owl protected territories and we have a couple of northern goshawk protected activity, post-fledging areas,” said Haessig. Each of the 24 spotted owl protected territories encompasses about 600 acres around a known or suspected nesting area. Add in the foraging areas and concerns about impacts on spotted owls cover most of the watershed. Fortunately, most of the core spotted owl territories are in canyons in thickets of trees that won’t be thinned. However, thinning the surrounding forest will protect those core areas from crown fires. “If we can thin those areas on the flat on top of these canyons, that’s going to be great for the spotted owls,” said Haessig. The thinning should also provide a great benefit to other rare and endangered species, like the Little Colorado spinedace. A crown fire can effectively sterilize the soil and make it much harder for water to soak in. As a result, erosion on denuded slopes can increase dramati-

This aerial view of the narrow, winding C.C. Cragin Reservoir shows the dam in the lower right hand corner. Trees at densities of nearly 1,000 per acre provide the perfect setting for a crown fire, which would sear the soil and eventually fill the reservoir with mud. Note the crowded, dying tree stands below.
cally after a crown fire. Not only could that fill the reservoir with silt, it could also smother all the tributary streams — snuffing out native fish and other species. “Our preliminary analysis shows that the majority of the watershed is very vulnerable to a crown fire — that would essentially kill everything.” Flooding after such a fire could cause huge flows of ash and silt into the reservoir. Not only would it reduce the capacity of the reservoir, it would fill the water with so much silt and organic material that it could overwhelm Payson’s not-yetbuilt water filtration system.
“Now that the reservoir is a municipal water supply, it has to be protected,” said Haessig. So far, the Coconino National Forest has been lucky in getting funding for the project, with extra help in lobbying from partners like Payson and SRP. “We submitted a proposal for several hundred thousand this year wrapped in with two projects on the Payson Ranger District — so total funding was $2.2 million. Next year we’ll apply again. This is a high profile project for the Forest Service, so I’m not presently worried about funding. We’ll find funding,” said Haessig.
Dude Fire: Learning from tragedy’s lessons
Editor’s note: We offer here a reprint of an account of the death of six firefighters fighting the Dude Fire on June 25, 1990. The searing relevance of the lessons learned from those deaths was tragically underscored on June 30, 2013 when 19 firefighters died battling the Yarnell Hill Fire. The following account of the Dude Fire deaths comes from several Forest Service investigations. by

Their fate was sealed five miles overhead as the top of the roiling mushroom cloud of hot air began to disintegrate. But they didn’t know it — not yet, not down on the ground, with their chain saws, their sooty camaraderie and their transformed lives. Down there, crawling across the smoking earth, the Perryville fire crew thought they had the monster chained and muzzled. They had worked all through the night to firm up the double bulldozer line thrown across the path of the Dude Fire to protect the homes of Bonita Creek Estates. Big James Denny, 39, worked steadily. He’d been in trouble since he was 9, winding up finally in Perryville Prison. But friends said he was a changed man since landing a spot on the fire crew. James Ellis labored down the slope. Quiet and popular, he was a soft touch for animals — especially the injured birds he tended in his cell. Assistant Warden Sandy Bachman, a “people person” just engaged to a deputy at the prison and respected by the men on the crew, supervised cheerfully. Up the slope, veteran firefighter Dave LaTour fretted about the only fitfully connected hand radios to keep track of the fire. An instructor for Rural Metro Fire Department, he’d fought the beast in every guise since 1978. The Dude Fire started on June 25 near the top of the Dude Creek drainage off the Rim. Although the Forest Service had responded instantly to the start of the blaze and marshaled 550 firefighters within hours, the fire blew up to 2,000 acres in the first 24 hours. On the north side, the fire managers tried to keep the fire from climbing up the Rim and racing off through the forest. On
the south side, they hoped to save Bonita Creek Estates by holding the fire north of the Control Road. Bulldozers gouged two rough fire lines up Walk Moore Canyon to protect the subdivision. The 19-man Perryville crew took the middle reaches of Walk Moore Canyon, with a Navajo crew below them and a veteran Hotshot crew above them. LaTour knew the conditions were dangerous. But he assumed they could escape down the dozer line to the Control Road if the fire turned. Neither the Perryville crew, nor the crews working above and below had a cleared safety area and the Perryville crew’s radios couldn’t consistently receive some of the key frequencies. At about noon, LaTour noted the wind had picked up. LaTour described the wind as “squirrelly with some spots showing up in the drainage.” Overhead, the superheated air hit a mass of cold air at 30,000 feet. The fire had been building this massive convection cell all morning, a 5-mile-high plume of smoke and heated air. If fire managers had understood the developing conditions, they would have pulled back crews then. At about 2 p.m., the Hotshot crew above the Perryville crew reported a “frightening calm.” The cap of cooler air far above had overcome the energy in the rising column of smoke and flame, which now hesitated at the point of collapse. As the dead calm settled over the smoky forest, the Hotshot crew scrambled for the safety zone they had created. Tragically, the Perryville crew re mained isolated on a different radio frequency and did not recognize the gathering disaster. The massive convection cell began a lethal collapse, sending sustained 40- to 70-mile-an-hour winds blasting outward in every direction, creating 170-foot-long tongues of flame. The blast of wind and flame ignited whole trees in an instant. Down in Walk Moore Canyon, a 50-mile-an-hour blast of wind turned the midday sky black and orange “like a sunset,” LaTour later recalled. Crackling over the radio, the crew heard a transmission from the Navajo crew below — “Get out. Get out.” A lookout for the Navajo crew further down the canyon had spotted a solid wall of
100-foot-tall flames rolling over the ridge toward them. The Perryville crew fled down the fire break, racing for their lives at a speed of 7 miles an hour, despite all their gear. But the flames closed in at 11 miles an hour. Crew members working low in the canyon made it to the Control Road just ahead of the flame. But the firefighters in the upper canyon found themselves trapped, although they were only 20 seconds behind those who escaped. But halfway to the Control Road a terrifying wave of fire swept across the thin firebreak ahead of them. They turned and fled desperately back up the canyon. “There was a solid wall of fire behind them. It was roaring and solid black,” LaTour recalled later. They fled back up the hill only to confront another wall of flame. Perryville crew supervisor Larry Terra later said the 100-foot-tall wall of flame that bore down on them sounded like a locomotive, mingled with the sound of explosions as whole trees exploded into flame. With the wall of flames just 75 yards away, LaTour ordered the crew to deploy their fire shelters, fire-resistant, laminated bags. They had about 16 seconds to get into their shelters before the fire would be upon them. Denny saw Bachman struggling with her shelter and so ran back to her to help her deploy before he started work on his own, a heroic act. LaTour later recalled, “As soon as I got into my shelter, I started talking to people. I could hear the crew from inside their shelters saying, ‘We’re going to make this, we’re going to be OK.’ They were trying to cheer each other up. But when that first flame front hit us, everything changed.” Within moments, the monster had them. “As soon as that first wave of fire hit us,” recalled LaTour, “I heard Curtis Springfield screaming. I was shouting almost constantly through the whole event, telling everyone to stay in their shelters, to stay down. But quite frankly, when the flame fronts were passing over us, the sound that we heard was indescribable.” The screaming, roaring fire clawed at them, lifting the shelters almost off the ground, pounding them with burning
debris. “The winds were lifting the shelters up,” recalled LaTour. “Active flame and large amounts of burning debris came into my shelter and up against my body.” He could hear the screams and shouts of the crew, each in their private hell as temperatures rose above 600 degrees and the shelters begin to dissolve. “My personal feeling is that at some point,” recalled LaTour, “everyone’s shelters were breaking down and being lifted up. People were being burned to the point that they thought they were going to die. There was a lot of screaming and I realized people had gotten up and moved. But as soon as they got out of their shelters — that was it.” At times during the carnage, LaTour said he could hear people moving around outside the tent. At one point, someone stumbled over his tent. All told, three major sheets of flame passed over the firefighters, helpless in their disintegrating fire shelters. Somehow, LaTour clung to the decaying shelter, burned but alive. After 45 minutes, the roar of the fire receded — and LaTour risked coming out of his shelter to find a scene of devastation and tragedy. Smoldering bodies lay scattered up and down the ravine. He found two empty shelters and several others that had come apart. Sometime during the firestorm, Denny had emerged and staggered down the hill toward the Control Road, the temperature on his clothing reaching 800 degrees. Nearby, Chacon also rose from his shelter — perhaps to help Denny. He was found lying on top of Denny, with his shelter pulled over on top of them both in a futile effort to ward off the inferno. Curtis Springfield was found on his side, his arm reaching toward Denny’s abandoned shelter as though he’d been moving toward it through the flames. Alex Contreras had also been exposed to 800-degree temperatures and died beneath his shelter. Sandra Bachman was found sitting upright in her shelter, which had been delaminated and swirled about. Her hard hat and boot heel were fused to the wall. “We have to get out now,” LaTour told the surviving crew members. He had suffered second- and third-degree burns over 12 percent of his body, but
concentrated on getting the survivors to safety. “It’s a tragedy. But we have to get out. Don’t look,” he said as they emerged, thinking of the sprawled, smoldering bodies. They stumbled down the charred, smoking canyon toward the Control Road, through a moonscape of black and gray. Ellis, who loved animals so much, stumbled up the canyon toward them, badly burned, his clothing smoking, his shelter somehow draped over his head like a cape. “My shelter didn’t work,” he mumbled. He lurched and sat heavily. “I’m dead,” he said. Then he slumped over and rolled into a ditch, already dead. All told, six of the 11 trapped members of the Perryville crew perished in the maelstrom. Up above, members of the Hotshot crew emerged from their shelters and headed down into the smoke-filled canyon to help the Perryville crew, despite the danger of a new wave of fire and despite their conviction that no one below them could have survived. They encountered Gregory Hatch, a member of the Perryville crew, with severe burns over 40 percent of his body. Paramedics put him on a stretcher and hauled him up the slope, hanging desperately onto the stretcher even when the fire made another run on them. The Dude Fire administered harsh lessons in communications, fire behavior and fire shelter design. The Forest Service has changed the rules for fighting fires — and cleared buffer zones around many Rim Country communities. But as the death of 19 Prescott Hotshots fighting the Yarnell fire on June 30, 2013 demonstrated, the danger remains more acute than ever. Despite the harsh lessons of the Dude Fire, Yarnell had not cleared brush in and around town nor adopted a WildlandUrban Interface fire code (WUI). But then, neither has Gila County, Payson or Star Valley. Regardless of the failure of policymakers to learn the lessons of the Dude Fire, the behavior of that prison crew offered imperishable lessons. So it falls on us to recall and honor such selfless courage — and continue to push for policies that will make such sacrifice unnecessary.

Marijuana dispensary owners in tangle From page 1A made money a number of ways. First, they loaned money to DMC at interest. They also contracted for management services with A&T Management, which they both owned. And Provencio testified they ultimately hoped the law would change and they could sell their interests in DMC for a profit. Provencio claims he had 80 percent ownership of the company while Tiffany had 20 percent. Tiffany testified they both initially owned half of DMC, but Provencio gave 20 percent of his interest to Matt, her husband. “Mr. Provencio and Ms. Young did not formalize these arrangements in any clear way,” wrote Judge Randall Warner. “The litigation results from their failure to clearly define their relationship in writing at the outset.” Tiffany worked full-time at DMC, but did not take a salary, saying she anticipated her “sweat equity” would result in future compensation. Matt worked as Uncle Herb’s chief marijuana grower while Provencio did not work full-time at the dispensary and was not compensated. Provencio, a retired assistant fire chief from
Alaska, claims he provided between $1.2 and $1.4 million in loans to open the dispensary while Tiffany testified she provided most of the money to open. Provencio claims the Youngs wrongfully ousted him as the president at the Dec. 22 board meeting. Warner found Tiffany and Provencio never solidified their ownership interests in DMC. Tiffany testified, however, that a May 2011 document shows she was issued stock in the company. Provencio said he never signed the document and that Tiffany forged his signature. He had a handwriting expert analyze the signature and presented that to the court. Warner ruled Provencio did not sign the document and Tiffany had lied. He also found that Tiffany’s husband Matt was not a stakeholder in the company and presented no documentation to prove he ever owned any stock. “First, the court does not believe Mr. Provencio did or would agree to having less than a 50 percent interest in DMC,” Warner wrote. “Doing that would give him no ability to control the company and would leave his investment at the whim of Mr. and Ms. Young.” More so, “DMC has never issued any stock.
Consequently, Mr. Provencio had no shares to transfer to Mr. Young.” Because Matt was not a stakeholder, he and Tiffany could not vote Provencio off the board, Warner ruled. Warner reinstated Provencio as the president and director of DMC. Still, it is murky who owns DMC. Control currently remains in the hands of Provencio and Tiffany. Because the company cannot act without the majority vote of its directors and Tiffany and Provencio can’t agree on anything, Warner appointed Receivership Specialists to run the business in the interim. Rivera said while Provencio and the Youngs are embattled in a “fairly ugly fight,” Uncle Herb’s is still operating. “We are happy with the receiver and the work being done,” he said. “He (Provencio) wants the business to continue to operate with integrity.” Rivera said they are still looking through the books and making sure that if any money was misappropriated it gets paid back. A conference is set for July 1 in Phoenix. Young’s lawyer did not return a call as of press time.
School board adopts vision statement From page 1A They answered the questions: where do we want to go as a district, where are we now, and how do we get to where we want to go in creating the graduate of 2025? The effort started last summer at the board’s annual retreat. Back then, the board asked Wyman to achieve three goals, including developing a new direction for the district collaborative and creating a five-year strategic plan. For starters, Wyman has now proposed changing the “vision”
statement from: “Every student prepared to be a productive citizen” to “The Payson Unified School District Community will develop well-rounded learners inspired to excel.” The mission statement changed from “Create confident, successful and responsible citizens by providing quality education and training in a safe and supportive environment,” to “We are committed to cultivating the unique skills and abilities of all learners to reach their greatest potential through challenging and engaging experiences and
opportunities within a caring environment.” The document also has profile pages of graduates and the district. The graduates have attributes such as, I am a critical thinker, a communicator, have global awareness, am physically and emotionally healthy among other qualities. The district profile includes having a robust technology, highly qualified teachers and a safe and fun environment among other characteristics. (To see the document, go to
the district website and click on the Governing Board tab under the Departments tab for documents presented at the board meeting.) Wyman said of the group’s year-long process, “we looked at our (the district’s) strengths and weaknesses.” But Dye suggested the shift in the vision statement doesn’t put an emphasis on traditional values and civics. Board President Barbara Underwood assured Dye nothing is set in stone yet. Wyman agreed.

Charles “Chuck” Edwin Sands, age 87, passed away May 28, 2015 at Hospice Compassus in Payson. He was born May 18, 1928 in Littleton, Colo. He served his country in the Army in the early ’50s. Then he was president of the L.B. Nelson Corp. in Southern California, just one of his many achievements. During the many years as a successful real estate developer, he built 16,000 houses and a number of commercial projects. Precious and loving memories of his wife and best friend Sue Allen: “He loved life, but most of all he loved his family. We were all very dear to him. He enjoyed fishing, cooking and he collected HO trains. He put together train tracks on our formal dining room table. I can’t say I was very happy about that until he made me the conductor. Oh well, how smart my Chuck was. We made many road trips together and enjoyed each other’s company and seeing what was over that next horizon. Chuck was my
best friend and loving husband of 20 years.” He will always remain in the hearts of his family, friends and as a tribute to all the families over the years for whom he built that special place they call HOME. He is survived by his wife, Sue Allen of Payson; brother, Richard of California, and half-brother, Bob of Wyoming; Chuck’s children and their spouses, Carole and Frank, Laurie and Andy of Colorado; his grandchildren and their spouses, Andee Lee and Brandon of California, Trevor and JayNeen Smith; and one beautiful great-grandson, Kallen of Colorado; his stepchildren, Bryan, Clark, Marian and spouse Joe; grandchildren, Amanda, Jake, Mia, Jonas and Toby, all of Arizona. A memorial will be held for Chuck at 1 p.m., Saturday, June 27, 2015 at the Payson Elks Lodge on Airport Road. Reception to follow. A memorial and burial service will be held later this summer in Estes Park, Colo.

If they did see us before the cast, the rainbows quickly scurried to cover, not willing to bite. After catching and releasing about 20 trout it was time to head for home.

But who can blame me if I do. I am adorable after all. Nap time is my favorite time of day; sometimes I sleep in crazy positions, which is known as kitty yoga.

PORKCHOP
I am a fun, spunky little pup who makes friends easily! I’m young and a little insecure, and I may flinch a little when we first
meet. Give me a few minutes and my inner love bug will appear! I love cuddling, climbing in laps, climbing on shoulders, basically just being close to people! I haven’t had much training. At my age, who has? I am smart, energetic and eager to learn. I also have loads of energy, so an active home is great! Toys are fun, too. I might need some help figuring out what to do with them, though! Entertaining myself is not a top priority — I’d rather be with you! I have developed some creative skills when it comes to getting out of my crate. I can climb fences and open gates with the best of them! A secure living space is a must. I don’t want to run off, I’d just rather have company! I am still figuring out how to pick my dog friends. Rough play scares me, and yet my puppy energy is too much for many calmer dogs. I’d love an easygoing buddy that could show me the ropes.
