A “suspicious” brush fire came dangerously close to several homes in Oxbow Estates Sunday night. Around 6 p.m., fire crews got word of flames in the drainage area near St. Johns Creek in Oxbow, located west of State Route 87, south of Payson. Because of the extreme fire danger, the U.S. Forest Service had posted several wildlands crews in the area. Two Forest Service units and two engines, a battalion chief and a water tender from Payson Fire Department quickly converged on the fire, holding the blaze to .14 of an acre. The Forest Service also sent a helicopter to make sure the fire had not spread. The fire burned part of a wooden fence and came within several feet of a storage shed. There were several homes nearby, said a Payson fire official. Had crews not arrived on scene so quickly, it could have been a very different outcome, he said. The fire is still under investigation, but it is “definitely suspicious in nature,” the official said. While still on the scene, crews received word of another suspicious fire in the area. They quickly doused it.

In the midst of the most dangerous time of the year for forest fires, a fire official Monday urged residents to get their homes prepared while they still can. Gary Roberts, the Payson Ranger District’s fire prevention officer, said the last two weeks of June are the most critical time of the year for wildfires. Bone-dry fuels and occasional dry lightning make the region dangerously vulnerable. “We are in the red zone,” he said, speaking at the Library Friends of Payson meeting. But a few steps can dramatically increase the chances a

Photographer DJ Craig captured a smoky sunset over Green Valley Park (top). The Payson Fire Department took this photo of the brush fire in Oxbow Estates.

Starting Saturday, the heat was on. By Monday, the temperature at the Payson Airport registered 100 degrees at 5 p.m. Flagstaff was a sweltering 93 degrees for 7,000 feet altitude. And Phoenix? They clocked in at 115 on Monday, but temperatures got up to 120 degrees during the weekend. The National Weather Service called for an excessive heat warning in Payson until

Pine school furor continues by

Four seats on the Pine-Strawberry Elementary School District board need filling, but only two people have taken out paperwork for the November general election — incumbents Helen Palmer and Jessica Barnett. That leaves the two recently vacated seats and no candidates, unless someone takes out papers. Not facing re-election this year is Margaret Parker, the board member blamed by out-going superintendent/principal Cody Barlow for the brouhaha that caused the resignation of Barlow and two board members. Compounding the issue, current Gila County THE WEATHER

Superintendent Linda O’Dell will replace Barlow on July 1. However, she’s the only person who can fill those vacated seats before the election. She has said she won’t fill the seats with temporary appointments before she leaves because it would pose a conflict of interest. Since she would wind up working for the people she appointed. Gila County Manager Don McDaniel said the Board of Supervisors cannot fill the empty seats. That leaves it up to whoever wins the election for county superintendent of schools during the Republican primary in August. Two Republicans have filed to run for county supervisor — Gail Gorry and Roy Sandoval. No Democrats filed. That means the new superintendent could in theory appoint someone to fill the vacated Pine School Board seats in August or September. In his resignation letter, Barlow accused school board member Parker of waging a vendetta against him. He also said Parker tried to hire her relative to the district’s information technology department. Parker declined to talk to the Roundup about the problems or the accusations aimed at her. “Thank you for wanting to hear my side of the Cody Barlow story. As for now, I’m choosing to leave it alone. I know what was really happening

Tuesday, June 21 at 8 p.m. So, what defines an excessive heat warning? A long period of dangerously hot temperatures caused by a strong ridge of high pressure. Right now, high pressure that originated in Mexico has parked itself in the mid to upper levels of the atmosphere over Arizona, the Southwest and the southern plains driving temperatures to record highs. The National Weather Service had thought it would move along by Monday,

Another drowning in Fossil Creek by

For the second time this year, a man has drowned at the Fossil Creek waterfall.

E R O M &

A man drowned and several other hikers needed rescuing this weekend at Fossil Creek north of Payson. With temperatures soaring in Rim Country, the creek is a popular location to cool off. But with access limited, getting to the creek is difficult. Over the weekend, rescuers responded several times to the travertine creek north of Strawberry. On Sunday, a man visiting the area drowned below the waterfall. He was simply swimming with friends when he went under. Witnesses offered conflicting reports on how the man drowned. But his friends searched for him in the deep pool at the base of the waterfall and eventually found his body downstream and pulled him out of the water, said

and I don’t need to defend myself. I’ve been on the school board over 12 years. And my concerns are for my community and the school and what’s best for them,” she wrote. Board members Bob Horne and Dave Prechtel both resigned because they did not agree with Parker and objected to the atmosphere they said her behavior had created. Horne, a longtime educator from Texas with degrees up to the doctorate level, worked for 34 years in the classroom as well as coached. He also served as a principal and superintendent. When he came to Arizona, he said he had planned to retire, but just could not stop working. Horne and his wife now run a local, nonprofit that helps students and adults obtain their GED or learn English.

In a letter to the Roundup, Horne stressed he will miss working on behalf of the students and teachers of the district, but the situation just got to be too much. “The past 18 months had been painful for me as I watched several members of the board lose sight of their primary educational responsibility by engaging in a personal campaign against the superintendent/principal,” wrote Horne. “I shall not miss the petty emails, poorly disguised paranoia or the questionable use of their ‘authority’ by certain board members.” Horne said he feels like he’s letting the community down by leaving. “I am most vexed by my failure to help the community perceive the potential for conflict of interest when board members and/or administrators have too close familial ties with school district employees,” wrote

Horne. Despite the whittled-down board, McDaniel said the board can limp along until a decision is made on how best to fill those two positions. “There are three members sitting on the board,” said McDaniel, “They are not required to have a unanimous vote — you can have a two vs. one vote.” Members of the community interested in running for the PSESD board may contact the Gila County superintendent’s office at 928-402-8784.

An early morning fire badly damaged a Payson home Tuesday. A man came home around 12:50 a.m. to find the home in the 800 block of South Pony Circle full of smoke and a futon in the living room on fire, said a Payson Fire Department official. The man tried to snuff the fire, but after choking on smoke, exited and called for help. The fire had spread from the futon, up the wall and into debris in the room. Firefighters put out the flames and got one dog and five cats out of the home. They were uninjured. They treated the resident for smoke inhalation on scene. There was a lot of heat and smoke damage throughout the site-built wood home, the official said. The drapes and pictures were all melted. How the fire started is still under investigation, but it appears to have started in the area of a desk in the living room. There was roughly $30,000 worth of damage to the home and $20,000 to the contents.

al dehydrated hikers on the upper trail that leads to the Fossil Creek trailhead outside of Strawberry. About 3 p.m. Saturday, the Gila County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call about a hiker having trouble walking out of Fossil Creek. A deputy hiked in from the Fossil Springs Trailhead, gave them water and helped them walk out. The Payson Fire Department also helped a dehydrated person at The Home Depot parking lot Sunday. On Monday, GCSO Sgt. Rodney Cronk headed back out to the Fossil Creek trail to help an exhausted female hiker as tempera-

tures topped 100 degrees. The four-mile-long trail descends about 1,500 feet into the canyon, across a slope with almost no shade. The National Weather Service issued an excessive heat warning for several Arizona counties, including portions of northern Arizona and Gila County Monday, urging people to avoid strenuous outdoor activities as heat-related illness could occur. The heat warning is in effect until 8 p.m. Tuesday. Sheriff Adam Shepherd reminded everyone to be prepared when hiking, which means wearing the proper footwear and bringing plenty of water.

Pizza Factory HEROs of Education The Payson Unified School District board honored Rodney and Gail Dahlman, owners of the Payson Pizza Factory, as HEROs of Education at its June 13 meeting. Superintendent Greg Wyman praised the couple. “Rodney and Gail Dahlman are amazing business owners in this wonderful community,” said Wyman. “They truly know what ‘family’ means in a town like Payson.” Wyman said the couple helps out and volunteers for numerous events in town, especially sporting events where more often than not, Pizza Factory pizza will be on the menu. But Wyman said the 5th Quarter Event serves as the most impressive of the Dahlmans’ volunteer efforts. “The 5th Quarter event is a place where high school students can be after the home football games,” said Wyman. “It is a healthy alternative for the high school students to hang out.” Wyman said the couple are so committed to supporting students, they have stayed until 1 in the morning waiting for the last

Greetings from the publisher A quality newspaper performs several functions in the community. It informs the community with accurate and timely coverage that impacts people’s lives. A quality newspaper is relentless in its efforts to protect its community from destructive influences and keeps a watchful eye on public officials. A quality newspaper also celebrates individual and collective achievements, and is a part of the community itself. For years, my family has witnessed, as outsiders, the Roundup serve Payson and the rest of the Rim Country in these ways, and with a sense of pride. We’ve seen the Roundup win more than a dozen Newspaper of the Year awards. Now, starting at the end of this month, we’ll serendipitously have the reins to this newspaper and its specialty products. The Kramer family has been in the newspaper business for almost 100 years. My great-grandfather, Verle Kramer, learned the printing trade in high school and soon after, in the 1920s, bought his first newspaper, a small weekly in Dallas City, Illinois. Our newspaper ownership in Arizona began in 1962 when my grandparents, Ruth and Donovan M. Kramer Sr., packed up their four children, belongings and dozens of Welsh ponies and headed for a small community in Arizona. Over time, they grew the Casa Grande Dispatch from a small weekly to a daily publication and purchased or started newspapers in Coolidge, Eloy, Florence, Arizona City and Maricopa as well as the White Mountains. My grandfather also was incredibly committed to economic development, having personally been responsible for creating hundreds of jobs at the Frito-Lay and Abbott Nutrition plants in Casa Grande within years of the area losing thousands of mining jobs. His personal efforts to create jobs in the area led to the establishment of the Greater Casa Grande Valley Economic Development Foundation, now called Access Arizona, which works to bring industry to Central Arizona and further diversify its economy. Now in our third generation of management in the White Mountains, our philosophy of producing quality journalism and being involved in the community hasn’t changed. We believe that we should cover the communities well, but also strive to improve them by encouraging growth and progress. Many of you probably will be wondering what changes will be made to the Roundup, if any. From an editorial standpoint, we will continue to improve the quality of the newspaper’s content and design as well as the quality of its digital products. Over the next few months, we’ll be collecting feedback from readers to get your take. We appreciate everyone who supports the Roundup — either by advertising or subscribing. I’m honored to be publisher of this newspaper and look forward to serving the Rim Country.

Limiting off-road travel Don’t take away existing trails

The state has been charging ATV owners for years with OHV (off-highway vehicle) fees for the purpose of creating trails (although none were created up in this area to my knowledge), while the Forest Service is installing a plan to substantially reduce the amount of trail-miles that they will allow for ATV usage. In my trail usage, I have observed far more damage from rain water erosion than from tire tracks. Blocking ATVs from going cross country off trails is a good idea, but taking away existing trails that will erode either way and still allow human presence and travel on horse, bike, and foot anyway is just plain dumb. But it does make the environmentalists feel better about themselves. And I don’t trust the FS to adequately mark all the trails as to ATV allowed vs. not allowed. The vast majority of trails now are not marked at all or only at great intervals. Will they cite ATVers on unmarked trails? Mike White

Evans runs for supervisor But will he listen?

If Mr Evans hadn’t put such emphasis and wasted so much of our valuable resources on the university project, and the ridiculous roundabouts, I could get behind him. I certainly do believe the distribution of the tax income has been inequitable, heavily favoring the southern portion of Gila County. However, Mr. Evans’ lack of attention to the large, disaffected voting block here in Payson, tends me to believe he won’t listen to anyone else either. Time may tell ... Paul Frommelt

Give north the lion’s share

More than just striving for a spending balance between the northern and southern portions of the county, we need to prioritize a majority of the spending up to our area. It has been the reverse for many years and simply balancing it out won’t help rectify the sustained unfairness. For example, let’s not put any more tax revenue into any new or improved county buildings or facilities down there. All such expansion should be re-directed up here where most of the population is. After maybe 5-10 years of this correction, then we could move to a spending formula that is more “balanced.” But Mayor Evans is right when he says Globe-Miami needs more effective political leadership to become economically self-supporting rather than relying on government spending funded by other towns. Mike White

APS proposes rate increase Charge solar customers more

APS should charge the people with solar panels more as they are using another company for electricity. The solar panel users are taking money from APS in payments for the purchase of the panels. About the time they

get them paid for they will be worn out and the owner will need new ones. Where is the savings in that? I will stay with APS and hope they don’t raise my cost of electricity. Pat Randall

People with residential photo voltaic solar systems typically provide (and sell) excess energy into the grid during the peak demand period (12:00 PM to 7:00 PM) and then draw (and pay per kWH) during the other 17 hours when APS has excess energy to sell. So APS avoids capital expansion costs. Not to mention we still pay all the other charges on our electricity bills, including all the taxes, fees, hook-up charges, meter reading, and several fixed system maintenance costs. We pre-paid for a 20-year lease, with about an 8-9 year payback. So we aren’t using some other company that somehow cheats APS out of money. Don’t believe all of their hype. My only gripe is that we were told (by Solar City) there would be battery systems available by 2012 to allow us to be self-sufficient if the grid were ever to go down for long periods. Still waiting. (Solar City blames the AZ Corporation Commission for a lack of approval, but I’m not so sure that is true). If the grid shuts down, our solar system shuts down. And we can’t install someone else’s battery system or our contracts with APS and Solar City are nullified. After 20 years, we will have to look at the payback period again. Mike White

Punished for solar in Arizona? APS is a monopoly, which I thought was illegal in this country. Maria Heller

Editor’s note: APS has a legally sanctioned monopoly, but is regulated by the Corporation Commission. It also spends heavily to influence the election of members of the Corporation Commission, which regulates it.

Alternative to the grid

I am considering a small (38-pound) portable, solar generator. 1,500 Watts, to supplant some of my APS electrical bill. Also, in case of a power outage of any long duration. Runs about $2,000. No gas, no fumes, no noise. You can also take it with you camping etc. You can check this one out here: https://secure.patriotpowergenerator.com/letter/ppg/index.php?AFID=MINISITE. The electrical grid will crash (shut down) by aging equipment, weather, or cyber attack in the near future. No refrig, no heat or cool, no cook, no hot water etc. No gas purchase at gas stations (electric pumps). Your monthly APS rates will be raised. Don Evans

Corn syrup a plot? Time to end corporate welfare

Maybe it’s time we ended this form of corporate welfare, but the corn growers have a great deal of political power not only in the form of massive political donations but with the large voting blocks of the corn-producing states. And, yes, both political parties have dirty (sticky?) hands in this sugary mess. The taxpayers also subsidize growers of American hybridized wheat, many other grain and citrus crops, dairy farmers, and pig and poultry ranchers; and the list goes on. Are we just helping the large farmers and growers by artificially increasing market prices, or are we messing with free market forces and thus contributing to inflated food prices?

McCain blames president for attack – then back pedals by

Peter Aleshire

roundup editor

Senator John McCain stumbled into a flare of controversy last week when he told reporters President Barack Obama was “directly responsible” for the attack by Omar Mateen on a gay nightclub in Florida that killed 49 people. A day later, McCain said he’d “misspoke” and that he didn’t hold Obama “personally” responsible to the attack. He still maintained the administration’s, withdrawal from Iraq led to the rise of the Islamic State, which Mateen said he supported. McCain faces a struggle just to win the Republican nomination before facing Congresswoman Ann Kirkpatrick, a Flagstaff Democrat who currently represents Southern Gila County. McCain told reporters Obama’s decision to gradually pull U.S. troops out of Iraq allowed the Islamic State to seize control of territory in both Syria and Iraq. During the shooting rampage, Mateen told police dispatchers he was acting in support of both the Islamic State and al Qaeda. McCain strongly opposed the withdrawal of U.S. troops in 2011 and has pushed for more direct U.S. combat involvement against

John McCain

Ann Kirkpatrick

ISIS in Syria and Iraq. McCain said, “Barack Obama is directly responsible for it, because when he pulled everybody out of Iraq, al Qaeda went to Syria, became ISIS, and ISIS is what it is today thanks to Barack Obama’s failures.” The comments echoed remarks by presumptive Republican presidential presumptive nominee Donald Trump, who said Obama “actively supported” the terrorist group that became the Islamic State. He suggested Obama might have undisclosed reasons for supporting the terrorist organization. Numerous media sites have debunked Trump’s assertion, based apparently on a post on a conservative website. (http:// www.usatoday.com/story/news/ politics/elections/2016/06/16/ fact-check-trump-isis-conspiracy-theory/86005666/) But that didn’t quite end the dust-up over McCain’s remarks.

Kelli Ward

State Sen. Dr. Kelli Ward quickly unleashed her own over-the-top attack on McCain — who she hopes to beat in the Republican primary. She put out a statement saying “John McCain is directly responsible for the rise of ISIS. Without his dangerously distracted foreign policy, we would not have this ruthless Islamic extremist organization that crucifies children, systematically rapes women, oppresses Christians, and throws homosexuals off the roof.” However, the statement mostly criticized McCain for being too willing to use military force. She blasted his “knee-jerk, trigger-happy foreign policy of promiscuously arming the supposedly moderate militants he says he is ‘intimate with’ and overthrowing stable, albeit unsavory regimes.” She said McCain has proposed bombing, invading or attacking

13 different countries in recent years. By contrast, Dr. Ward said, “I will support military engagement only as a last resort, only when constitutionally approved by Congress, and only when there is a clear strategy for victory, not endless occupations and expensive nation-building.” That appears more like a criticism of President George Bush’s invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan without a congressional declaration of war than a criticism of President Obama’s withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan and his reluctance to commit ground forces in the battle with ISIS. Meanwhile, Kirkpatrick moved quickly to take advantage of the furor over McCain’s remarks — and subsequent modification. A spokesman for her campaign said $100,000 in donations poured in following his remarks. “John McCain’s reckless and appalling comments about the Orlando mass shooting disappointed thousands of Arizonans and people from across the nation,” said Kirkpatrick spokesman D.B. Mitchell. “But his actions are just further proof that after 33 years in Washington, McCain has changed, and now Americans are witnessing that he’s no longer a ‘maverick.’”

Roundabout planned near high school by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

The town is working with the Arizona Department of Transportation to get a new roundabout built in town at West Longhorn and South McLane roads. But don’t fret, construction won’t start for at least seven years — let’s say 2023. Payson officials say ADOT hopes to build the roundabout at the intersection outside Payson High School, which gets busy with students and staff when school lets out. ADOT has to start the paperwork early to get some $782,500 in federal funds, which will cover 94 percent of the cost. The town will have to chip in CELBRITIES OF THE PAST ACROSS 1 Young lady 5 Assist illicitly 9 Major work 13 With 107-Across, discontinued gradually 19 Radio host Don 20 Storied Ali 21 Singer Coolidge 22 Sharp cheese 23 Gave a shot to a James Bond actor? 26 Versace competitor 27 Additionally 28 Skiff mover 29 Teased a classical/pop singer? 31 Took the “Alphabet Series” novelist to court? 35 Yes, to Fifi 36 Steel city of Germany 37 Masters 38 Stole from a “West Wing” co-star? 45 Aromatic oily resin 47 Conger hunter 48 Man ___ (old racehorse) 49 Growl at, e.g. 52 Sent an invoice to a Fox News Channel host? 56 Love, in Leon 57 Is no longer 60 Sunbeams 61 Delivery docs 62 Tattooed Tom Sawyer’s creator? 65 “___ see it my way” 68 Prefix with fire or print 71 Wee 72 “Mighty” trees 73 Dwarf planet beyond Pluto 74 Certain lyric poet 76 Bullring holler 77 “___ know it!” 79 Honored the wife of Rainier III ANSWER TO PREVIOUS PUZZLE

Edward Avalos, 24, will spend a year in prison after violating his parole by testing positive for drugs. The Globe resident was on probation for credit card theft when he refused drug treatment and then tested positive for drugs in violation of the terms of his 36-month stint on probation. His previous offenses also included failure to appear and possession of drug paraphernalia. Prosecutor Matthew Greve said while on probation Avalos refused drug treatment, failed to pay his financial obligations, and tested positive for illegal substances. Avalos’ probation was revoked and he was sentenced to one year in the Arizona Department of Corrections.

$44,600 in matching funds. The town sought funding for a roundabout years ago and added it to the 2009-2010-transportation plan. “That is one of our most congested intersections in town, especially when school lets out,” said Town Manager LaRon Garrett. Garrett said the glacial pace of the federal funding process explains why it took so long to get East Bonita Street repaired. The town is also working with ADOT to get federal funds to widen and repair Bonita Street. ADOT began the paperwork for federal funds to repair Bonita Street in 2010 and work could finally begin next year, Garrett said.

PAYSON ROUNDUP

Digestive system more complex than we realize by

Teresa McQuerrey

roundup staff reporter

The digestive system — most of us understand it this way: we eat, we digest converting food to energy, what isn’t used is either eliminated or is stored as fat. A recent presentation by Kim B. Alten, FNP-BC, with the Banner Medical Group, showed the system is much more complex than most of us realize. Alten provided the information at a Lunch & Learn program hosted by Banner High Country Seniors. A healthy digestive system

• Food enters the mouth, is digested and passes through the hollow organs of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and is eliminated. • The liver, pancreas and gallbladder are the solid organs of the digestive system and release chemicals to aid in digestion. • Bacteria in the GI tract, also called gut flora, help with digestion too. • Parts of the nervous and circulatory systems also play roles in the digestive process. • Together, a combination of nerves, hormones, bacteria, blood and organs of the digestive system completes the complex task of digestion. The nerves involved in digestion are identified as extrinsic and intrinsic, Alten said. The extrinsic nerves — or outside nerves — connect the digestive organs to the brain and spinal cord. They release chemicals that cause the muscle layer of the GI tract to either contract or relax, depending whether food needs digesting. The intrinsic, or inside, nerves within the GI tract are triggered when food stretches the walls of the hollow organs (esophagus, stomach and intestines). They release many different substances that speed up or delay the movement of food and the production of digestive juices. The cells in the lining of the stomach

and small intestine produce and release hormones that control the functions of the digestive system. They stimulate the production of digestive juices and regulate appetite. The parts of the digestive system include: the tract with the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and anus. Its accessory parts are the tongue, teeth, salivary glands, gallbladder, pancreas and liver. Working together these parts allow us to eat, swallow, digest, absorb nutrients that maintain cellular activity and eliminate waste. The first activity of the digestive system is to take in food through the mouth, called ingestion. Once we have ingested food the process involves: mechanical digestion; chemical digestion; and movement. With mechanical digestion the large pieces of food that are ingested have to be broken into small particles that can be acted upon by various enzymes. It begins in the mouth with chewing, swallowing and continues with churning and mixing actions in the stomach. In chemical digestion, the complex molecules of carbohydrates, proteins and fats are transformed into smaller molecules that can be absorbed and utilized by the cells. Chemical digestion, through a process called hydrolysis, uses water and digestive enzymes to break down the complex molecules. These enzymes speed up the hydrolysis process, which is otherwise very slow. With the movement aspect of digestion, after ingestion and chewing, the food particles move from the mouth into the pharynx and then into the esophagus — in other words, it is swallowed. Mixing movements occur in the stomach as a result of smooth muscle contraction, which are repetitive and usually occur in small segments of the digestive tract and mix the food particles with enzymes and other fluids. The movement propels the food through the digestive tract and is called peristalsis. Food, broken down through chemical

body, absorbs fatty acids and vitamins. The food molecules that can’t be digested or absorbed need to be eliminated from the body. What can go wrong

Teresa McQuerrey/Roundup

Kim B. Alten, FNP-BC with Banner Medical Group, recently discussed digestive health at a Lunch & Learn program at Banner High Country Seniors. digestion, becomes simple molecules that can pass through cell membranes of the lining in the small intestine into the capillaries. Once the nutrients of food are broken down enough to be absorbed they are available to all cells in the body and used in metabolism. When the small intestine absorbs most digested food molecules, as well as water and minerals, they are then

passed on to other parts of the body for storage or further chemical change. Specialized cells help absorbed materials cross the intestinal lining into the bloodstream. The bloodstream then carries simple sugars, amino acids, glycerol and some vitamins and salts to the liver. The lymphatic system, a network of vessels that carry white blood cells and a fluid called lymph throughout the

With so many parts involved in the digestive system, there are multiple chances for dysfunction, which can take place in the mouth with the tongue, teeth, salivary glands, or any combination; the pharynx; the esophagus; the stomach; the small intestine; the large intestine; the liver; gallbladder; pancreas; or anus. Alten mentioned some GI conditions that people might have to deal with: • Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) — a group of symptoms, such as pain or discomfort in your abdomen and changes in bowel movement patterns — that occur together. “Functional GI disorders happen when your GI tract behaves in an abnormal way without evidence of damage due to disease,” she said. • Pancreatitis — a syndrome characterized by pain associated with inflammation and damage to the pancreas; relapsing or chronic pancreatitis can lead to exocrine and endocrine pancreatic insufficiency; major causes are alcohol use, cholelithiasis (gall stones), drug toxicity and infections; in some cases there may be a genetic basis, however, a significant percentage of cases are idiopathic. Among Alten’s suggested recommendations to minimize the risk of GI problems: control the amount of sugar ingested with close attention to what you eat and exercise; take vitamins to supplement your diet including water soluble B complex and at least 500 milligrams of vitamin C, plus fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. She said it is better to take vitamin after a meal. In addition to eating a healthy diet, Alten also stressed the importance of dental care, including flossing at least twice a day.

Medicare can help you stop smoking; often at no cost Cate Kortzeborn It’s never too late to quit smoking. While it’s best to stop as early as possible, kicking the smoking habit at any age will enhance the length and quality of your life. As soon as you stop, your body begins to repair the damage caused by smoking. You’ll also save money and you won’t have to run outside your home or office every time the urge to light up hits you! Medicare now covers counseling sessions to help you stop smoking, even if you haven’t been diagnosed with an illness caused by tobacco use. You pay nothing for smoking cessation counseling, as long as you get it from a doctor or other qualified provider who accepts Medicare reimbursement. Many state Medicaid programs cover smoking cessation services as well. Smoking tobacco can cause by

cause of cancer death in the U.S. More than 56 million Americans still smoke tobacco, but quitting can reduce your risk of getting these diseases. So if you have Medicare or Medicaid, make a note to talk with your doctor about quitting. Medicare covers eight face-toface smoking cessation counseling sessions during a 12-month period. What happens in these sessions? Your doctor may follow the “5 As” approach: ask patients about their smoking habits; advise them to quit; assess their willingness to quit; assist their attempts to quit; and arrange follow-up. To help you get off and stay off tobacco, your physician may prescribe one of seven antismoking drugs currently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Medicare often

What are the health benefits of not smoking? Here’s what you’ll experience, according to the American Lung Association: • 20 minutes after quitting: Your heart rate drops to a normal level. • 12 hours after quitting: The carbon monoxide level in your blood drops to normal. • 2 weeks to 3 months after quitting: Your risk of having a heart attack begins to drop; your lung function begins to improve. • 1 to 9 months after quitting: Your coughing and shortness of breath decrease. • 1 year after quitting: Your added risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a smoker’s. • 5 to 15 years after quitting: Your risk of having a stroke is reduced to that of a nonsmoker’s; your risk of getting cancer of the mouth, throat, or esophagus is half that of a smoker’s. • 10 years after quitting: Your risk of dying from lung cancer is about half that of a smoker’s; your risk of getting bladder cancer is half that of a smoker’s; your risk of getting cervical cancer or cancer of the larynx, kidney, or pancreas decreases. • 15 years after quitting: Your risk of coronary heart disease is the same as that of a nonsmoker. I also want to mention that

Medicare covers screening for lung cancer with Low Dose Computed Tomography. To qualify, you must: • Be age 55-77; • Be either a current smoker or have quit smoking within the last 15 years; • Have a tobacco smoking history of at least 30 “pack years” (an average of one pack a day for 30 years); • Not have any signs or symptoms of lung cancer; • Get a written order from your physician or qualified non-physician practitioner. You pay nothing for this screening if your doctor or other qualified provider accepts Medicare reimbursement.

on dozens of threatened and endangered species and the ongoing conflict between hikers seeking silence and off-roaders seeking a thrill — or easy backcountry access. Bosworth conceded that many off-roaders will object to any attempt to close roads they’ve gotten used to using. However, he said the plan focuses on connecting an extensive network of road. “I know motor vehicle users like to ride loops and visit a variety of scenery. We tried to provide for those opportunities while simultaneously protecting natural resources and providing for those who seek a more quiet recreational experience on the forest.” Environmental groups said the Forest Service made little effort to limit off-road travel in areas critical to endangered species — especially riparian areas. Those riparian areas constitute about 2.5 percent of the Tonto National Forest, but remain critical to about 90 percent of the wildlife at some point in their life cycles. “The Forest Service made few changes to the original proposed action, which had generated outcry among concerned users of the forest, which is one of the most heavily visited national forests in the country,” said a statement by the Center for Biological Diversity. “The final draft of the plan authorizes public motorized use on more than 3,600 miles of roads and trails and includes more than 100,000 acres of off-road vehicle recreation areas. According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the plan is very likely to result in annual deaths of endangered narrow-headed and northern Mexican garter snakes, and the allowed motorized use will damage critical habitat for many imperiled species. While some routes within critical habitat will be slated for closure and decommissioning, no timeline or funding source has been identified by the Forest Service to complete those actions. “Motorized cross-country travel causes severe damage to watersheds and wildlife habitat,” said Greg Dyson of WildEarth Guardians. “The Tonto was required to close motorized cross-country travel, which they did, but they then used the big game retrieval exception — an exception that must be used sparingly — to allow OHVs to maraud across half the forest. It’s a loophole that places most of the forest at risk to damage and abuse.” The Center for Biological Diversity had asked the Forest Service to consider closing roads and trails that crossed riparian areas and critical habitat for endangered species like the Mexican spotted owl, Mexican garter snake, yellow-billed cuckoo, willow flycatcher and northern goshawk. The Forest Service rejected that plan, saying it would shut down far too many roads. For instance, it would shut down many roads along the Control Road between Tonto Village and Pine — limiting access to the scattering of private property along that road. The plan was developed in response to an explosion of off-road use of the forest. The number of off-road vehicles sold in Arizona increased sixfold from 1995 to 2006 — and has increased steadily ever since. An estimated 22 percent of Arizona residents say they at least sometimes drive on dirt roads or use an ORV. That works out to roughly 1 million off-roaders a year in the Tonto National Forest — perhaps the most heavily used forest in the country. About 55 percent of the forest lies within half a mile of an existing road. Only 3 percent of the forest — mostly in designated wilderness areas — is more than four miles from the nearest road. The 3-million-acre Tonto National Forest stretches from Phoenix up to the Mogollon Rim. It includes the heavily used reservoirs along the Salt and Verde rivers as well as the forests of Rim Country. Off-roaders can’t ride much of the year in Maricopa County due to air quality restrictions, which means many riders head for the high country on the weekends.

Damned if you do. Damned if you don’t. Let that stand as a summary of the Tonto National Forest’s long-delayed release of a plan to contain and control off-road vehicles in the 3-million-acre forest. Environmental groups have condemned the plan for leaving vulnerable too many streams, archaeological sites and endangered species. “With this decision the Forest Service is not only abdicating its responsibility to assist in the recovery of listed species on the Tonto National Forest, it’s causing the continued loss of native wildlife and habitat,” said Katie Davis, public lands campaigner at the Center for Biological Diversity. “Preservation of the status quo at the expense of endangered species is an unacceptable approach to public land management.” Many off-roaders have blasted the plan for clamping down on cross-country travel and shutting down some 1,300 miles of existing motorized trails — mostly created informally by off-road travel. The plan would leave open nearly 5,000 miles of trails for Jeeps, cars and off-road vehicles. The Forest Service also consulted seven tribal governments with reservations in the Tonto Forest. Every single one urged the Forest Service to clamp down on cross-country travel, minimize the number of roads left open and make special efforts to protect archaeological and traditional sites. “I realize not everyone will be happy with the decision,” said Neil Bosworth, forest supervisor. “It is the Tonto National Forest’s best effort to strike a reasonable balance that is responsive to the vast majority of public input the Forest received.” Tonto Forest is one of the last forests in the country to respond to a 2005 congressional order to limit cross-country travel by off-road vehicles. The just-released plan would designate some 3,347 miles of dirt roads and 1,500 miles of motorized trails for unrestricted use. The preferred alternative would also shut down about 1,300 miles of trails and roads, mostly tracks created by off-roaders or motorized trails leading along sensitive areas, like streams and archaeological sites. In addition, the plan would earmark about 100,000 acres for less restricted cross-country travel, including a large area on the shores of Roosevelt Lake. The plan would also allow people to drive cross-country on spur routes to reach one of about 1,000 undeveloped campsites. Hunters could also drive cross-country to retrieve game they’d shot. Those exceptions to the cross-country rule would leave almost all of Rim Country open to cross-country travel by hunters or people heading to an undeveloped campsite, with the exception of wilderness areas and the handful of areas more than a mile from the nearest designated road. The Forest Service released a 500-page environmental analysis and a 100-page biological opinion to support the plan the Tonto National Forest has been working on for 12 years. Despite hundreds of pages of prose, the plan changed very little from a version released three years ago, then withdrawn for further study. The report compared the impact of doing nothing, to the impact of three alternatives. Currently, about 5,000 miles of roads and trails exist. The most restrictive plan would reduce that total to 3,000. The least restrictive plan would actually increase the total to 5,200. In the end, the Forest Service opted for “option c,” which features a total of about 4,200 miles of designated roads and trails. That includes 1,300 miles of existing roads and trails the plan would close — balanced by about 400 miles of “user-created” roads the plan would add to the designated system. The Forest Service has received thousands of comments and suggestions in the past three years, but the miles of roads left open — and closed — remains about the same as in the abortive 2013 report. The final report offers a mind-numbing series of comparisons of the effects of four alternatives, with the Forest Service settling on the middleof-the-road alternative. All the alternatives had lots of positive environmental impacts when compared to what will happen if the Forest Service continues to allow unrestricted cross-country travel. The preferred alternative struck the balance between recreational use and environmental impacts, said the report. The report documented the degraded state of hundreds of miles of streams and riparian areas, the vulnerability of thousands of archaeological sites, the widespread impact

The explosion in off-road use has taken a heavy toll on the forest, according to the environmental analysis. The Forest Service’s own report said it would have to triple its budget to adequately maintain the existing road network. The report also concluded that perhaps 10 percent of existing roads pass through or close by an archaeological site, mostly barely noticeable mounds and scatters of artifacts left by people like the Salado whose civilization collapsed in the 1400s. “The Tonto’s decision appears to indicate that natural and cultural resource management on the forest is secondary to motorized recreation,” said Andy Laurenzi, southwest field representative for Archaeology Southwest. The draft plan has also stimulated fierce criticism from off-road groups. “That’s the first step in them kicking us out of the lands completely. This sucks. It’s one of the reasons I moved out of California,” said Bobby Crawford, posting on the Facebook page of the Arizona Virtual Jeep Club. Another off-roader commented, “80 percent of the trails in the Tonto are not documented — and therefore will be closed. Plus, this restricts new trails from ever happening. Also, it constricts many groups to one area for more congestion and potential issues.” The report acknowledged the difficulty of striking a balance between the different uses of the forest. The report cited one visitor survey that found about 26 percent of visitors say they want to hike or walk, 23 percent want to view natural features, 23 percent just want to relax, 15 percent want to fish and 15 percent want to view wildlife. By contrast, 18 percent said they engage in motorized trail activity and 11 percent said they want to use their OHVs. Unfortunately, many hikers, wildlife watchers, fishermen and others said the noise and impact of off-roaders bothers them — setting up a conflict even among recreational users, never mind the soils, watershed and wildlife impacts. Off-roaders insist the restrictions will keep people out of the forest in favor of an elite group of hikers and environmentalists. But environmental groups maintain the plan tilts toward off-roaders. Sandy Bahr, chapter director for Sierra Club’s Grand Canyon (Arizona) Chapter, said, “Irresponsible off-road vehicle activity and the excess of user-created roads associated with it have devastating long-term impacts on streams and rivers. The Forest Service has failed miserably in developing a plan to limit damage to the land, its waters and its wildlife.” Get the Environmental Impact Statement for the Tonto National Forest Travel Management Project at: http://data.ecosystem-management.org/nepaweb/fs-usda-pop. php?project=28967.

Gearing up for a great benefit bike race She’s at it again. Yep, Katie Calderon has firmly positioned herself just outside the Ponderosa Market doors where each weekend she dishes out friendly greetings to visitors while cheerfully hawking Fire on the Rim Mountain Bike Race raffle tickets. Her appeal is genuine — all proceeds from the raffle ’ benefit Rim Country trail rattlin the rim building and all-important protection from catastrophic wildfires such as the one that threatened Show Low last week. This is Calderon’s second consecutive year selling the raffle tickets and if the sale is anywhere as successful as 2015, members of the Max Foster sponsoring Pine Strawberry Fire Reduction Committee will be doing cartwheels. The always-optimistic Calderon, however, believes the current raffle could be even more successful than last year because of the quality of the prizes including a high-dollar Kona Mountain Bike, a lime green ladies cruiser bike and a BMX Haro Z-Flex long board. “I am really pleased with our great prizes and how well (ticket) sales are going,” said Calderon. “There is a lot of enthusiasm and I’m sure we will be really successful.” Ticket sales began during the Memorial Day holiday and will continue until the bike race festivities wrap up on Sept. 17. The race has its origin in 2011 when PSFR Committee member Ernie Borgoyne announced the event, saying proceeds would be used for fire suppression efforts around Pine and Strawberry. “Our area is very volatile in regards to possible wildfires, and excessive woodland fuels must be removed,” Borgoyne said at the time. The race has grown in leaps and bounds, attracting cycling enthusiasts from around Arizona and surrounding states. It is more than just a race, however — it’s a two-day extravaganza highlighted by music, entertainment, scrumptious food, games, camping and plenty of old-fashioned small town camaraderie. Fire restrictions enacted

High fire danger and winds have prompted Tonto National Forest Supervisor Neil Bosworth to issue emergency fire restrictions. It is now illegal to build or maintain a campfire or use a charcoal or wood-burning stove within the boundaries of TNF. Campfires in metal fire rings and pedestal grills, provided by the Forest Service in developed recreation sites, are allowed. Gas and propane stoves and lanterns are permitted if they meet fire underwriter specifications. Also, smoking is allowed only within an enclosed vehicle, building or developed recreation campground. Discharging firearms is also prohibited unless engaged in a lawful hunt. It seems when some flatlanders visit the high country, their frontal lobes go AWOL and they break about every fire restriction known to the Forest Service. If you see such an infraction, step up — report it or intervene. It could save a life. PSWID board election

Pine Strawberry Water Improvement District interim manager Harry Jones has announced an election will be held Nov. 8, 2016 to fill four governing board seats now being held by Larry Bagshaw, Richard James, Trent McNeeley and Paul Randall. Their terms expire on Dec. 31, 2016. It is not known which of those board members will run for re-election. Property owners interested in running for one of the seats may obtain a nomination packet from the PSWID office at 6306 Hardscrabble Rd. Office hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Jones is encouraging applicants to obtain nomination papers as early as possible to ensure no statutory deadlines are missed. Those running must be property owners within the district and registered voters in the state. PSWID officials will not provide infor-

Independence Day hoopla

Pine Strawberry Arts and Crafts Guild members have set a goal of making the 36th Annual 4th of July Arts and Crafts Festival the best ever. “There will be music, food vendors and of course great shopping,” said guild member Catherine Hurla while offering an invitation to, “Come and enjoy and two-day festival in the cool mountains with more than 80 juried art booths.” The scrumptious pancake breakfasts served up each morning of the festival by the Mountain Village Foundation are also traditionally a big draw. Customers line up early each morning to enjoy a meal of pancakes, sausage, juice and coffee for only $5. The festival will be held 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, July 2 and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday, July 3 at the Pine Community Center grounds. In 2014, a tiff developed when ADOT officials forbid what were called “rogue” booths from being set up along Beeline Highway outside the center grounds. Officials said the booths interfered with traffic flow and public safety. During the 2016 Memorial Day festival, restrictions were further tightened when parking was not allowed on Beeline Highway. For the upcoming festival, parking will be at two locations on the east side of Beeline. The first is the Payson Concrete parking lot and the other behind the Randall House Restaurant. From those two locations, it’s a short walk to the festival grounds. All proceeds from the summer festivals support Pine and Strawberry community causes. Holiday book sale

In conjunction with the festival, Pine Library Friends is hosting another of its popular book sales in the library activity room behind the community center. It will be open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. July 1, 2 and 3. The sale is great way to pick up a book at a greatly discounted price. Most importantly, all proceeds benefit the Isabelle Hunt Memorial Library — the finest small-town library in Arizona. Call (928) 476-3678 for more information. Posse hosts raffle

The Gila County’s Sheriff’s Posse is hosting a benefit raffle that has $6,000 in prizes. The first-place winner receives a $3,000 gift card; second place gets a $2,000 card; and third receives a $1,000 gift card. All gift cards are for Chasin’ a Dream Outfitters in Payson which has an archery pro shop, sells guns and ammunition and offers a guide service. Each ticket is $20 and only 400 tickets will be sold. All proceeds benefit the posse.

To purchase tickets, call Melvin Palmer at (602) 527-9792. ‘Kung Fu Panda’

Movie Madness at the Isabelle Hunt Memorial Library continues at 1 p.m., Thursday, June 30 with the showing of “Kung Fu Panda 3.” The movie is rated PG and 95 minutes in length. As usual, the library staff will provide refreshments and children should bring a pillow so as to be comfortable on the floor. Fire codes restrict the number of persons who can be in the library at one time, so parents should insure their children arrive early. Delays frustrating

Look up “pain in the rear” in the dictionary and you might see as an example the traffic delays occurring from milepost 254 to 283 on Beeline Highway (SR 87) due to a tree removal project. The delays have made traveling to and from Payson a jaunt that sometimes can take as long as 50-55 minutes. The best choice for traveling the route is to go on Friday, Saturday and Sunday when the work is shut down. When the work is completed this fall, the project will improve driver visibility and reduce hazards to vehicles. Crews will avoid nighttime hours and holidays. Traffic is reduced to one lane during operations and a pilot car escort allows for alternating travel through the work zone. ADOT is asking drivers to allow extra time for travel, observe reduced speeds in the work zone and be alert of crews and equipment. County sets up emergency system

Show Low’s close escape in the face of the explosive growth of the Cedar Fire underscores the tragic lessons seared into the minds of firefighters three years ago, when the Yarnell Hill Fire killed 19 Prescott firefighters. The Cedar Fire over the weekend blew up from 12,000 acres to some 27,000 acres. In the face of rising winds and record heat, the fire grew by 14,000 acres in a single day. Fortunately, the U.S. Forest Service had shifted from a philosophy of directing fires but letting them burn in cool, moist conditions to an all-out assault as plunging humidity and rising temperatures dramatically changed fire behavior. Firefighters quickly moved to establish a defensive line between the fire front and Show Low. The fire nearly triggered an evacuation, before winds turned it back as it approached the line. On Monday, the fire remained 1.5 miles east of Highway 73 and 2.5 miles north of Cedar Creek, after burning into an area with less thick vegetation. But the real lesson for this fire season came in Yarnell, site of such tragedy in 2013. A slow response to the initial fire allowed it to blow up and an approaching front coupled with intense heat produced extreme fire behavior — with flame lengths of 50 to 100 feet. Command confusion allowed a team of Hotshot firefighters to leave a safe, burned area, in

but they had to extend the heat warning until Tuesday. Add to the hot temperatures a smoky haze from the Cedar Fire

and it seems like the end of the world. This weather fans fires by sucking the moisture out of the fuels. The relative humidity is at 4 percent.

ment, the firefighters saved all the buildings and suffered no losses. Nonetheless, the shift in the weather has forced firefighters to make an all-out effort now to put out fires quickly, in contrast to a month ago when they let the Jack Fire between Pine and Flagstaff grow to 34,000 acres to clear out brush and small trees. The same strategy worked for the Juniper Fire near Young, which grew to 31,000 acres. Those fires have subsided to a sullen smolder after burning up against previously burned areas. Only a handful of firefighters remain to monitor the huge burn areas of those early season fires. By contrast, 800 firefighters continue to work the Cedar Fire. In the meantime, the Brown Fire in the Boboquivari Peak Wilderness Area west of Tucson blew up quickly to 15,000 acres, with 205 firefighters trying to keep it contained. About 300 firefighters remain on the line around the 1,500-acre, lightning-caused Wildcat Fire near the Grand Canyon.

an apparent attempt to reach Yarnell. The fire shifted course while the firefighters were struggling through the thick brush in a canyon and killed them all. The fire went on to destroy 150 buildings in Yarnell, burning in thick brush that hadn’t seen a fire in half a century. Studies showed that houses where homeowners had cleared thick brush on the property and adhered to Firewise standards survived, even when nearby homes burned. In the three years since, Yarnell has gotten state and federal grants to clear a buffer zone on the edge of town. The tragedy also prompted the state and federal firefighting commands to overhaul some of their command and control procedures. As a result, this time as the fire bore down on Yarnell, firefighters reacted quickly — marshaling considerable resources. Moreover, they had the cleared buffer zone in which to make their stand. Although the Tenderfoot Fire grew to 4,000 acres and forced the evacuation of the settle-

Race brings about 700 to Star Valley by

Keith Morris

roundup sports editor

Engines roared. Dust soared. And no one was bored. Although some may have been floored by the heat. Approximately 200 racers and 500 spectators converged on Star Valley on Saturday for the inaugural Star Valley Grand Prix, according to race organizer Kyle Krause. “The race proved to be very successful,” said Krause, the founder and owner of Arizona Off-road Promotions Racing. “It was the third-largest race of the year.” While temperatures hovered near 100 degrees, it wasn’t as hot as it was in the Valley. “The beautiful pine trees made for a great place to spend the weekend,” Krause said. “Many racers took the opportunity to camp at the track Friday night.” The event utilized the Houston Loop and Houston Trail. “The course was about six miles long with a mix of sand, dirt and rocks,” Krause said. “There were fast sections and tight and technical sections providing an all-around great experience for all levels of riders.” The race was the fourth in AZOP’s eightrace Grand Prix Series. It featured seven different races based on age and skill level, as well as vehicle. Divisions ranged from those for motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles (ATV) and utility task vehicles (UTV). The ages of racers ranged from 4-60, according to Krause. Four Seasons Motorsports was the race’s main sponsor.

Payson Roundup SPORTS Tuesday, June 21, 2016

The 11th Annual Payson Sprint Triathlon, a tribute to the late Cynthia Pool, started off with a 400-meter swim, followed by a 15-mile bike and a 3.1-mile run, according the CEP Timing website.

Sprint Triathlon a huge challenge testing both body and mind From page 1B of times and running a couple of days. He trained 10-12 hours a week for that event. For this sprint triathlon, he cut that down to six hours — an hour a day for six days a week. Saturday marked his first race since the heart attack. Hall finished third among men ages 60-69 with a time of 1 hour 42 minutes and seven seconds. He finished the swim in 11:24, the bike in 57:58 and the run in 32:45. Hall didn’t compete in the event last year. He finished in 1:28:43 two years ago, placing second in the men’s 60-69 division. That year he completed the

swim in 10:15, the bike in 51:12 and the run in 27:16, according to CEP Timing’s website. In 2013, he won the 60-69 division in 1:30:15. A tenacious competitor, he pushed himself. “I just wanted to finish it close to the same time I had before,” he said. “And it was pretty close. I felt good that I hadn’t lost a lot.” A former team roper in rodeo, Hall didn’t even consider ending his participation in sprint triathlons. “I’m not wired that way,” he said when asked if that’s something he pondered. “I’ve always roped and ridden my bike. I just like to stay in shape.”
