Emergency!

45,176-acre Cedar Fire impacts Gila County by

Teresa McQuerrey

The impact of the 45,176-acre Cedar Fire is being felt in Gila County, so the board of supervisors on Thursday declared an emergency —mostly to qualify for federal help if the fire causes problems — including mudslides when the monsoon arrives.

Tonto Basin hit with huge tax increase by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

In a unanimous vote this week, the Tonto Basin School Board approved the 2016-17 school year budget, which includes a 75 percent property tax increase.

For every $100,000 in home value, the property tax will increase from $279.96 to $489.94.

Some residents expressed outrage at the increase, saying many people can’t afford such a big, one-year increase.

Tonto Basin Elementary School District Business Manager Patty Ahlman said the increase in property taxes was actually long overdue.

“We have been stagnant on the budget for the last three years,” she said.

The school actually lowered the rate one year.

This has forced the district to delay necessary building repairs. It has also stagnated the school’s ability to prepare students for the new AzMERIT test.

“We need to upgrade things in the building,” said Ahlman. “Also, we need to upgrade our curriculum and technology, so that our children can be more prepared to take AzMERIT tests.”

The new AzMERIT test is best taken online.

Unless a school has enough bandwidth, servers and computers, a school cannot support students taking the test online.

Payson has agreed to continue managing the Houston Mesa Fire District for another year.

In 2015, the town approved a one-year management contract to run the small, volunteer-driven district, which covers the community of Mesa del Caballo, after then-Chief Mark Essary left to become a sheriff’s deputy.

In turn, Houston Mesa paid the town $24,000 for the year.

At a recent Payson Town Council meeting, Houston Mesa agreed to pay $80,000 for another year.

The price increase covers several changes to the contract.

Now, Payson will not just

Witness recounts latest drowning death in pool beneath waterfall by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

The horrific scene that unfolded in a deep pool in Fossil Creek over the weekend left witnesses shaken and underscored the dangers that persist, despite imposition of a reservation system this summer.

On Sunday, a man’s lifeless body was dragged from a pool at Fossil Creek after he drowned. The man had been missing for at least 15 minutes before anyone noticed.

The pool has seen two deaths since October, plus two near-drownings.

Rescuers say while the overall number

of rescues has dropped, serious accidents persist. On Sunday, it took crews eight hours to get a badly dehydrated 15-year-old teen out from the upper trail. The Mounted Posse eventually had to give the girl a ride out on horseback. She was later treated and released.

Downstream that day, Vic Pariso, of Scottsdale, was visiting the waterfall at Fossil Creek for the first time. He had planned to drive in from the Camp Verde side with his fiancee and sister, but they canceled at the last minute, so he went

manage the district, but run it.

Payson Fire will cover all fire calls in the Houston Mesa Fire District and share equipment as needed.

Recently, a Houston Mesa truck broke. Now while it is getting fixed, Payson can move one of its trucks out to cover the district, said Payson Fire Chief David Staub.

Also in the new contract, Payson Fire will provide Houston Mesa with staff coverage at least twice per week for four hours for each assignment.

Payson Fire will also hire all Houston Mesa firefighters, who also serve as Payson reserve firefighters.

The contract is good for one year and starts July 1.

Payson schools losing veteran teachers Music, vocational programs hard hit by loss of teachers by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

Each May, the list of teachers leaving the district due to retirement, another job, dissatisfaction with the profession, low salaries and other reasons gets longer and longer.

This year, Payson Unified School District lost many, frustrated long-term employees not yet ready to retire.

In one particularly unsettling development, the entire music department staff from the middle and high school left the district.

Meanwhile, the once-thriving culinary arts program has struggled along with a long-term substitute for the last six months after Chef Richard Erskine left the district in January.

None of this surprises Superintendent Greg Wyman, who has been in the school administration business for 30 years.

“Public education is a business and we have all the same issues and concerns,” said Wyman. “I have a brother in the mining industry. As they pile on regulations, at some Mike Buskirk (top) and Daria Mason are among point employees say ‘enough is enough’ (and) the frustrated veteran teachers who left this year.

E R O M &

they step out of the game. That is just a natural cycle.”

The superintendent has not just sat by and just guessed at how people feel, however. He surveyed not only the parents, but students and staff about what they think of the job the district is doing.

“The majority of the scores for the staff on the survey, with one exception, was a B or an A,” said Wyman. “I think what the surveys are showing is ... when we look at it as a general rule, people seem to be pleased with what we are doing.”

But members of the community have asked if there is anything to learn when so many longtime teachers leave the district — are they unhappy with the pay?

Unhappy with the administration? Unhappy with the profession?

Wyman said the reasons are complex and unique to each individual.

One of the big challenges when it comes to keeping good teachers in Payson definitely comes down to salary.

Wyman said salaries outside of Payson are generally higher, especially in the Valley.

“The starting teacher’s salary (in the Valley) is in the mid $40,000. Here it is $33,000,” he said.

Another challenge to finding good teachers — the rural community lifestyle.

“If you have been raised your entire life in an urban area, unless you’re specifically looking for this type of lifestyle, why would you look up here?” said Wyman.

One thousand firefighters continue to battle the Cedar Fire, which on Thursday had grown to 45,176 acres. The illegal use of aerial drones now poses a danger to firefighting aircraft over a portion of the fire. Fire managers said they may have to ground their aircraft if the illegal drone use continues.

local fire districts have also dispatched crews and engines to help, including both Hellsgate and Payson.

The Gila County communities of Cedar Creek and Carrizo stand now on the edge of the fire as it moves south. Even if they escape the flames, monsoon runoff from the denuded burn area could subject the communities to flood damage, landslides and debris flows, especially near Cedar Creek and the Salt River.

Erosion could also affect water quality for many county residents.

“It is essential to the well-being of Gila County residents after disasters to expedite recovery and mitigate hazardous conditions threatening public safety.

Preparation of a pre-event recovery plan can assist Gila County to organize recovery in advance of a declared disaster and mitigate

hazardous conditions before and after a disaster,” said Michael O’Driscoll, director the county’s emergency management department. With the declaration of a local emergency, the county could get federal help in dealing with any impacts. The county has about $60,000 to spend before needing federal help, O’Driscoll said.

District One County Supervisor Tommie Martin asked if the funds that will come available after the local $60,000 is exhausted would pay for the GCSO and other county personnel helping with the fire.

O’Driscoll said the county would get reimbursed by Navajo County for Gila’s personnel on the fire as it requested their assistance.

District Three Supervisor John Marcanti asked about the threat of contamination from debris and runoff.

O’Driscoll said he and other officials will meet with the Cedar

Fire’s Burn Area Management Team next week, which will include hydrologists to assess the potential for contamination.

The supervisors gave unanimous approval to the resolution requested by O’Driscoll.

Fire update

As of Thursday morning, June 23, the Cedar Fire had grown to more than 45,000 acres and had nearly 1,000 personnel fighting the blaze. As of Friday, it was only 42 percent contained.

The daily update on Thursday indicated that the fire has moved into an area with less fuel on the ground, which slowed its advance as the week wore on. Firefighters have used backfires to help direct the fire, which is moving mostly south and east now, away from Show Low. The Forest Service also appealed to people apparently operating remote-controlled drones over the fire to keep their

tiny aircraft away from the fire.

The drones pose a threat to the Forest Service helicopters and aircraft fighting the fire. The Forest Service said flying the drones near the fire is illegal and it may have to call off air operations if the drone operators persist.

The update also said: “SR 60 between Carrizo and Show Low remains closed to travelers due to smoke conditions and firefighters actively working near the roadway. SR 73 through Whiteriver remains open from Carrizo to Hon-Dah. Please use caution when driving on Highway 73, especially today and tomorrow with fire traffic and detoured traffic, livestock and wildlife.

“All pre-evacuations are still in effect. If an evacuation notice is given, the evacuation sites will be Round Valley Middle School in Eagar via SR 73 and then SR 260 east. There is also an evacuation site at Holbrook High School.

spending rose 30 percent over 2013 on a per-student basis.

The Pine Strawberry Elementary School District spends about $22,000 per student, according to the auditor general’s 2014 report.

That district is in turmoil after the resignation of the superintendent/principal due to conflicts with a school board member.

Two other school board members resigned for the same reason, leaving the district with just three board members — two of them running for re-election.

three years upgrading its technology behind the scenes to get ready for the new technology requirements the AzMERIT test imposes.

Unfortunately, the district finds it is still impossible for them to have the whole school take the test at once.

Ahlman said the Legislature had legally allowed the school to increase the property taxes to the new level.

Both the Tonto Basin and Pine K-8 school districts already spend far more per student

than Payson, due to special state formulas for very small school districts.

The state formula assumes that districts with only 100 students or less need a different formula to pay for things like buildings and administrative overhead.

The last auditor general’s report indicated that Tonto Basin schools spend nearly $20,000 per student, compared to a state average of about $7,500 per student. Payson spends about the state average.

The auditor general’s report for 2014 indicated that the Tonto Basin School District

From page 1A Add to the list the lack of respect for the teaching profession, and finding and retaining teachers might soon become an impossible task, said Wyman, especially now that young people have less interest in pursuing the profession.

“For years, we have been bashing public education. Now we are paying the fruits of our labor,” he said. “Over the next decade, it will get more difficult. Even if you had some radical change in attitude, you’re four years out on the pipeline.”

Losing music department

Wyman said he expected Daria

Mason to leave the district when her husband Mike Buskirk decided to retire.

“Two of the music department are related. Anytime you have a husband-wife team, you could lose a third of the staff when one decides to leave,” he said.

But first-year teacher Jose Martinez also decided to leave.

The losses have an impact, said band supporter and parent Charlie Beier, who said he’s been staying up at night worrying about what will happen to the program.

His youngest daughter has two more years in high school.

“We’ve lost sleep over all this stuff,” he said. “Maddie has been a varsity starter in soccer, (but) it all comes to band. Who are

their friends? They are all band friends.”

The district just recognized Beier for his extraordinary support for the program. He bought a huge new trailer to haul band instruments to marching band competitions. The year before, he purchased the podium the drum major stands on. He has picked up numerous meal checks and chaperoned trips.

He said he’s not going to give up on the program.

This summer, since his daughter will be a drum major along with two others, Charlie will take the students to a drum major camp in Tucson, which will prepare them for their duties.

the kids and keep supporting them,” he said. “Thick or thin we are going to stick with the kids.”

It’s sometimes tough to fill positions — but the district will Wyman said. Filling spots such as the high school music director will prove a challenge.

He said it’s a buyer’s market for teachers, especially specialty teachers such as music directors or culinary arts instructors.

“To a person down there (in Phoenix), everyone is struggling to find teachers,” said Wyman.

He also said when he visited his daughter who is attending school at South Dakota State University he had a chance to stop by its school of education.

When he inquired about specialty teachers, he was told each had 10 job offers waiting for them after they graduated.

Add to the challenge, the district delayed the hunt for teachers because of the vote on Prop. 123, the possible opening of the charter school, and the state budget negotiations.

“Last year, we started earlier ... this year we were a little slow in going out recruiting,” he said.

He said Payson does attract some very qualified older teachers who are looking for a peaceful place to live in preparation for retirement.

“A lot of times you get second career people. One of the things we get up here, are people interested in getting ready for retirement. They are looking at five or 10 years ... versus a young person looking for their first job,” said Wyman.

Wyman has already started filling in the blanks left by the outgoing teachers.

At the June 13 board meeting, the board voted to hire a new music teacher for the middle school and the high school has a new culinary arts instructor after six months of searching.

lookback

What will it finally take?

• June 25, 1876: Near Montana’s Little Bighorn River, Indians led by Sioux chiefs Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull wipe out Lt. Col. George Custer and much of his 7th Cavalry. Within an hour, Custer and all 215 of his soldiers were dead. Although the Sioux and Cheyenne fought to maintain their traditional ways, within five years almost all would be confined to reservations.

• June 26, 1948: The Berlin Airlift begins as U.S. and British aircraft deliver food and supplies after the city is isolated by a Soviet blockade. By July 15, an average 2,500 tons of supplies were being flown in each day, with planes landing every four minutes.

• June 23, 1987: Tiffany launches a career-making tour with a live performance in a mall in New Jersey. The 16-year-old singer’s debut album gathered dust until she began her tour of shopping malls, turning the album into a smash hit.

• June 24, 1997: The Walt Disney Corp. orders the recall of 100,000 already shipped copies of an album by Insane Clown Posse — on the day of its planned release. The Southern Baptist Convention had threatened to boycott Disney over the rap duo’s lyrics.

So what will it take?

A fire that consumes 150 homes?

A fire that ruins the tourist economy?

A fire that smothers all our streams with silt?

A fire that kills 19 firefighters trying to protect us?

Well, done, done and done. We’ve seen all of that happen in Arizona.

So is it possible we’ll only take wildfire seriously when it’s Payson that burns — not Yarnell? And won’t that be too late?

So is it possible we’ll only take wildfire seriously when it’s Hellsgate firefighters who die in the inferno — not just Prescott firefighters? And won’t that be too late?

Show Low had another close call this year, as the 45,176-acre Cedar Fire flared, made a rush at town and turned back at the last moment — with the whole community posed for an evacuation.

Yarnell also had another near-death experience — quite literally. The 4,000-acre Tenderfoot Fire flared, swirled into a fury and made a rush at the town devastated in 2013 by that lethal wildfire.

This time, the Forest Service and the State Division of Forestry reacted quickly. This time, residents had cleared a buffer zone where firefighters could make a stand. This time the weather moderated and the winds pushed the fire away from the town instead of into town.

This time, fire commanders had improved their strategy and communications — after a devastating review of the mistakes made in 2013.

So Show Low didn’t burn.

And Yarnell survived.

We’ve got a couple more weeks of extreme fire danger stretching ahead of us. Once more, we’ll hold our breath, we’ll run the gauntlet, we’ll watch the blood-red sunsets with fear and trembling. We’ll rely on the heroism of firefighters, the rush of federal money, the caprice of the wind.

Tragically, we’ll likely then heave a sigh of relief, mouth some empty platitudes about firefighters and resume doing nothing.

The 2013 Yarnell Hill Fire left no doubt what will happen if we do nothing.

Since then, Payson has done nothing to adapt its building codes to the reality of living in a dangerously overgrown forest.

Since then, Gila County has done nothing to adapt its building codes to living in a dangerously overgrown forest.

Since then Star Valley has done nothing to adapt its building codes to living in a dangerously overgrown forest.

Nor have Payson, Star Valley or Gila County done anything comprehensive to support struggling Firewise thinning efforts in the communities for which they’re responsible.

And that’s just the simple stuff. What we really need is a Northern Gila County overlay fire protection district, which can raise money through the property tax and seek state and federal grants to augment the Forest Service’s efforts to thin and maintain buffer zones around our communities.

Tragically, Congress has shamefully neglected its duty to protect its citizens. The Forest Service has pleaded for the $2 billion it needs annually to fight wildfires, without denuding the restoration and thinning efforts needed to prevent these tragic disasters.

The Arizona Legislature has done no better, despite its delusional insistence the state could do a better job of managing federal lands.

Only the Forest Service seems to have taken the lessons of the Yarnell Hill Fire to heart, as evidenced by the continued efforts to thin buffer zones on the outskirts of Rim Country communities. The Forest Service has also worked hard to transform its use of fire — letting fires burn when possible and saving the all-out suppression efforts for weeks like these.

But tragically, local officials seem content to let us run the gauntlet — year by year. They give only lip service to protecting our community and valuing the lives of firefighters.

Of course, maybe it’s not just them.

Have you cleared the brush from around your home?

Have you made sure the openings into the attic are protected against embers?

Have you moved the wood pile from the side of the house, swept the pine needles off the roof and made sure the porch is enclosed so embers can’t set a fire beneath?

Most important — have you written to the board of supervisors, the town council and state lawmakers?

Have you made it clear you won’t vote for any town or county candidate who hasn’t promised to overhaul the building code and support Firewise communities.

Nineteen Prescott firefighters have already died for our indifference and short-sightedness. Wildfires this year again threatened Show Low and Yarnell.

So what will it take to make us act?

Monument would put old-growth forest at risk

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

by

Edward “Pat” Madden

arizona game and fish commission

Arizona’s Kaibab Plateau is a natural wonder — more than 1,000 square miles of meadows, forests and sagebrush.

It’s home to diverse and abundant wildlife, including a world-famous mule deer herd. We can all agree that this one-of-a-kind resource deserves the protections afforded it by the U.S. Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the Arizona State Land Department, the Arizona Game and Fish Department and the other governmental authorities that administer these lands. The critical issue is finding the best way to protect wildlife and the Kaibab National Forest.

The proposal to make this area a national monument largely ignores two main concerns: that wildlife on the Kaibab need active management by the state’s lawful wildlife authority, the Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD), and that transferring jurisdiction of the forest to an agency already $11 billion dollars in the hole will hurt, not help forest health.

Catastrophic wildfires, not chain saws, pose the greatest threat to old-growth forests in Arizona. In June 2006, a lightning strike on the Kaibab ignited the Warm Fire, consuming 59,000 acres including old-growth ponderosa pine, breeding territories for northern goshawks, and critical habitat for the threatened Mexican spotted owl. Cost to suppress the fire surpassed $7 million.

Modern forest management is moving toward a restoration model — thinning overabundant small trees and creating conditions where fire can resume its normal, healthy role in the ecosystem. While the Four Forest Restoration Initiative (4FRI) united diverse stakeholders to protect old

growth, improve forest health and wildlife habitat and benefit local economies through sustainable forestry, misguided extremist litigants still seek to stop active forest management. Meanwhile, much of the plateau remains at risk, with insufficient federal funding for thinning, restoration and fire suppression.

Monument designation can’t prevent catastrophic wildfire and may actually serve as a biological blowtorch, reducing this critical habitat to ashes and tying the hands of AZGFD wildlife managers sworn to protect and conserve the Kaibab’s wildlife. Protections already in place will be swept aside, perhaps for years, while redundant plans are written to accomplish the exact same goals. Plans for other Arizona monuments have taken a decade or more to complete, and money better spent on the ground in Arizona will instead be spent on bureaucratic process in Washington.

Arizona’s amazing wildlife requires active management, and Arizona Game and Fish must be involved not only in management planning, but in active management while plans are rewritten. Pushing scientific expertise aside to allow bureaucrats and litigators to control our public lands is not a viable way to conserve our old-growth national forests. Science and collaboration are far more effective — and economically sustainable — than a unilateral designation and new layers of federal bureaucracy.

This proposed monument will become a super highway to litigation, delayed decisions and catastrophic fires. We’ll be left with a different kind of monument: a monument to lawyers, extremism and regret for failing Arizona’s wildlife.

Edward “Pat” Madden, Flagstaff, is the incoming chair of the Arizona Game and Fish Commission.

Senator for sale Editor: Hard to understand how a senior senator from Arizona, who is rich beyond a normal person’s imagination would sell your reputation and integrity to the National Rifle Association.

Ted Paulk

Fear factor and gun control Editor: The gun controversy will probably continue throughout our future, but with most gun advocates citing the Second Amendment, I wonder if they all are aware of when the Second Amendment was written.

It was passed by Congress in 1789 and ratified in 1791.

“A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”

I did some research on the type of guns available in 1791.

Given that most muskets and rifles of that era fired .70 caliber balls (any cartridge above .50 is banned in the U.S. today), cavalry officers hacked heads and limbs off of opponents with eight-pound sabers, and cannons pulverized whole columns of men with

grapeshot and exploding shells, I think most of our Founding Fathers would be shocked by the precision and focus of modern weapons. I’m not sure how a scabbard constitutes a weapon, but never mind.

The most advanced weapon at that time would probably have been either the Kentucky long rifle, capable of firing two or three .60 balls per minute out to an accurate range of 300 yards, or the 6-pound field gun, which could fire a variety of projectiles 1500 yards, usually one shot every two minutes.

President Obama, Hillary and other advocates of “sensible” gun control are not trying to take away Second Amendment rights. They are trying to limit or end the sale of “assault” weapons, support background checks and have the FBI alerted when a subject on a “No Fly Zone” list attempts to buy a weapon.

There are 31,500 gunshot deaths in the U.S. annually from 1968-2015. More Americans died from domestic gun violence during this period than in all the wars America has fought.

In the CS Monitor (ISSUE June 27, 2016), General David Petraeus took a moment to warn against the dangers of the sorts of assault rifles used by the gunman who killed 49 people in Orlando, June 12.

“Americans need to work together to figure out how we can make it more difficult for individuals to get what it is

that they’ve used to kill so many fellow Americans,” Petraeus said.

Two days before the Orlando shooting, a prestigious group of U.S. military veterans launched a coalition to urge elected leaders “to do more to prevent gun tragedies.”

The group, called Veterans Coalition for Common Sense, includes on its advisory committee Petraeus, as well as Gen. Stanley McChrystal, former commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan and Adm. Eric Olson, the first Navy SEAL to be promoted to a four-star rank.

Beyond this group, a 2013 poll of military veterans found strong support for moves such as mandatory background checks on gun buyers (91 percent) and a ban on assault-style weapons (58 percent).

The Global Strategy Group poll found that, even as a plurality of the vets had a favorable view of the NRA, 85 percent agreed with the statement, “We can protect responsible gun owners’ Second Amendment rights while still making it more difficult for criminals and other dangerous people to obtain guns.”

Because of the fear factor ... “They’re going to take our guns,” the money factor and the grip of the NRA on so many politicians, I doubt that many sensible gun laws will be passed ... but I remain hopeful.

County School Superintendent responsibilities • Special school elections • Filling vacancies on school boards • Processing district expense and payroll vouchers • Estimating property tax revenues • Affidavits for homeschooled students • Educating students in county detention facilities • Recording of teacher certifications • Maintaining school district boundary maps

The first thing I want to say is that by no way am I an expert in this field and I’m not even sure how much of it I believe in. But I do notice that when I walk into some homes I get this feeling of peace & calm.

Getting your home ready to put on the market can be a very stressful time. But here are a few things that can help. When you put your house on the market, you first want it ready for presentation and photos.

Potential buyers can be “put off” by cluttered counters and overflowing toy boxes - not to mention overflowing kitty litter boxes! Ideally, the house should look like no one lives there - or like the owners have full-time maid service (easier said than done).

All Realtors recommend getting rid of clutter to create a spacious feeling, keeping the drapes open to fill the rooms with light and keeping everything clean and neat. But sometimes that doesn't quite do the trick. Sometimes the cleanest, neatest house just doesn't "feel" good. And that's where feng shui comes in.

You may or may not believe in the power of color and placement to create a good energy flow and bring all you desire into your life. You may not believe that energy flow makes a difference at all. But you'll have to agree that some houses feel like homes, while others only feel like houses and are cold and uninviting.

By using the principles of feng shui, you can create warmth in a cold house. It's all about balance and blending the colors of nature. When staged with feng shui, every room has some earth tone, some red or purple, some black or blue, some yellow and some white. Each room also has some sign of "life" in the form of flowers, green plants or pictures that represent them.

The idea is to either have or represent fire, water, earth, wood and metal - and to be sure that no one of them overpowers the others.

Think of rooms you've been in that were all glass and chrome - did you feel comfortable? Probably not, because it was out of balance.

The result of a feng shui slant to decorating is a room that feels good - a room where you might want to stay and chat a while.

I don't know why it works and I don't care why. I just know that it does work and that buyers are more drawn to a house that feels like a home. So if you want your house to sell quickly, look at it from the standpoint of feng shui. Then make some subtle changes. For more information on “Feng Shui” just go to the internet and Google it.

You’ll find it offers a large variety on the subject.

do. I look at data, I make hard decisions — and I don’t act on impulse — but I’m really invested in change. We know the county superintendent is not invested with a lot of power. You have to kind of finesse and get a lot of people on your side.”

He said, “Teachers in the classroom are the most important thing. Day after day they’re in those classrooms and they touch those students. But the principal is the key to changing a school. Wherever you find a great school, you’ll find a great principal. If we put our training into principals and superintendents such that they are looking at the right things — whether its data instruction or school culture — that’s when you’re going to see a change.”

Hellsgate firefighters will get new breathers by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

The Hellsgate Fire Department recently secured a huge federal grant that will go a long way to ensure firefighters’ safety.

The department received $194,000 from FEMA through the Assistance to Firefighters Grant for 33 self-contained breathing apparatus.

The department’s current breathing packs were bought in 2002 and after much use, are falling apart.

Firefighters use the packs anytime they might breathe in smoke or particulates, like carbon monoxide. Every seat in a fire truck or engine will have a pack.

The new units will feature in-mask screens that will alert firefighters to how much air they have left and integrated communication systems that lets them talk with other firefighters.

The department is testing several models and hopes to pick one and have them by the end of the year.

Capt. Rick Heron and Deputy Chief John Wisner and Business Manager Angie Lecher worked together on the grant applica-

tion.

Hellsgate has held several grant writing courses and Fire Chief Dave Bathke said they have proved invaluable to the department.

The department last year received a $1.6 million Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) federal grant. This is the second time Hellsgate has received the SAFER grant, allowing them to save firefighters’ jobs.

Class

After hosting several grant training classes, Hellsgate recently hosted its first class to help emergency officials deal with the media.

The class was held several weeks ago and certified 27 local and state responders as public information officers (PIO).

After the class, Bathke said he saw one of the class participants being interviewed on TV for the Cedar Fire near Show Low. Locally, six from Hellsgate participated, one from Payson Fire, two from Tonto Basin, one from Payson Unified School District and one from the Gila County Sheriff’s Office.

Solution to 6/21 puzzle

Peter Aleshire/Roundup

The federal government has approved a $194,000 grant to provide the Hellsgate Fire Department with 33 breathing systems to protect firefighters from smoke and heat.

Payson neighbors fret about bed and breakfast plan by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

A couple looking to open a bed and breakfast at their home off the Payson Golf Course drew concerns from neighbors who worry it will ruin the peaceful, quiet neighborhood.

Sandi and Geoffrey Wolf went before the Planning and Zoning Commission earlier this month for a conditional use permit for a country inn at their three-story home off Fairway Lane.

Sandi said they don’t plan to hold big events or noisy parties, but will operate a quiet bed and breakfast that occasionally holds small, intimate gatherings for guests.

The couple has lived in town for 20 years and say they plan to attract a high-

er end clientele to their home, which has a total of six bedrooms. They will rent out four of those.

“You probably won’t even know we are there,” she said.

The couple plans to run the inn entirely on their own, so they won’t have employees coming and going or trucks making deliveries.

Sheila DeSchaaf, with community development, said the .52-acre property meets all zoning requirements and the only thing the couple needs to operate is a business license and a CUP. The couple can only serve breakfast on site and must have enough parking for every guest, which the lot allows.

They plan to convert an old tennis court for parking and will not need on-street parking.

The CUP will stay with the property so long as it is used as a B&B. That means if the Wolfs sell the home, the next owner could continue to operate it as an inn.

Sandi said check-in would be between 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. and check out, 11 a.m.

Despite assurances from staff and the owners, a handful of neighbors expressed concern at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting June 6.

One neighbor said she likes to sit on her front porch, but that could be ruined with all the traffic coming and going to the inn, which sits at the end of the Fairway cul-de-sac.

Another neighbor said she worried with this approval, someone else might decide to open a business at their home, ruining the quiet street.

DeSchaaf said so long as property owners apply for a permit and meet the requirements, any homeowner can operate an inn on their property. As it happens, this property has a lot twice the required size.

DeSchaaf said owners are allowed use their homes for business purposes.

Commission member Jennifer Smith said using this property for a B&B has less of an impact on the neighborhood compared with other uses. For instance, a couple might have five teenagers — who could create more noise and traffic than a bed and breakfast. She said the commission would be out of line to deny the couple’s request because they meet all of the requirements.

Another neighbor worried about the potential noise and lighting from the

property as well as the bed and breakfast sign.

DeSchaaf said the town ordinance will limit the sign to two square feet and the lighting will have to comply with the “dark sky” provisions — which means they can’t shine into neighbors’ yards.

Other neighbors complained the property might turn into a senior center home and affect their property values.

DeSchaaf said the couple would have to come back for a new permit if they changed the use.

Commission member Barbara Underwood praised the residents for sharing their concerns, but doing so respectfully.

The commission passed a CUP for the inn unanimously.

No word on when the inn could open.

SCRUBS Camp introduces students to the health field A sobering taste of blood, guts and needles by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

It might seem like a good idea to a choose a career in health care, but the reality might not live up to expectations — because, you know, blood, guts and needles are involved.

So Eastern Arizona Area Health Education coordinator Amity Justice gathered up 24 students ranging from seventh through ninth grade to attend a SCRUBS Camp to touch on the many areas of a health care career.

“Students got a wide exposure to different health careers, medical vocabulary, and introductions to our health care professionals who impact their community daily,” said Justice. “The camp was held from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Banner Payson (Medical Center) and the Payson GCC campus.”

For three days, students had lectures, dissections, worked on mannequins and even tasted the difference between conventional and organic produce.

The first day of camp students took tours of the Gracie Lee Haught training facility, the hospital Native Air and the Payson Fire Department.

“Lexie Nosie, EAHEC program coordinator, gave a fun presentation on the importance of hand-washing and campers tested their hand-washing skills under a black light,” said Justice.

Banner CNO Michael Herring gave the students a tour of the hospital.

“Medical staff gave information and in-depth tours of each department including labor and delivery, radiology, pharmacy, ER, laboratory and more,” said Justice. “Students were introduced to future opportunities in HOSA or the Banner volunteer programs available to them in high school.”

Michele Nelson/Roundup

Ninth-grade students practice lifesaving medical techniques at a SCRUBS Camp at Banner Payson Medical Center through a course offered by Gila Community College.

Justice said Native Air then flew in to the hospital.

“Native Air ... gave students a thorough tour of the helicopter and the equipment that is specifically engineered to equip the pilot, nurse and paramedic to get patients safely to our local hospital or accident scene to their destination hospital for emergency medical treatment,” said Justice.

Then the Payson Fire Department showed the students how they monitor a patient’s vital signs, how they intubate a patient and what it takes to transport a patient.

When the students moved onto the Gila Community College campus, they received a full tour of the health-related classes and the NAVIT program.

“Manuel Abeyta, RN from Globe gave a ‘shocking’ talk about the electricity of the heart. Students were fascinated with how the heart works, problems of the heart and corresponding methods of treatments and support,” said Justice.

The students then got to experience dissection with GCC instructor Samantha Dorr.

Of course, along with lessons on the heart, students learned about how to

keep the heart healthy with a lesson on nutrition and exercise.

“CNA instructor Lois Grumbo brought a beautiful spread of vegetables (even some from the local Community Garden) for the students to taste and taught them the difference between organic and non-organic,” said Justice.

On the final day of SCRUBS Camp, the students got into the down and dirty of vaccinations and blood draws.

“With great instruction from John Hancock, RN (skills lab director for the GCC nursing program) the kids loved using the artificial training arms and artificial blood to practice IV blood draws,” said Justice.

Not finished with the gore, Lloyd Olson, MD surgeon from Banner showed the students different surgical techniques such as suturing, stapling, and using surgical glue.

“Students were given the opportunity to try their hand at suturing and

stapling skills on chicken thighs and bananas,” said Justice.

After all the hands-on blood and guts training, the students wrapped up camp with a Mexican Fiesta lunch and took home certificates.

Many confirmed their inspiration to pursue a career in the medical field.

Many health professionals and community members helped to put on the camp.

“SCRUBS Camp was sponsored by EAHEC (Eastern Arizona Area Health Education Center), Henry Macintosh Foundation and Payson Gila Community College,” said Justice.

From EAHEC Ted Quinn, Nosie, Justice, Holly Crump, and Jeri Byrne along with Gila Community College Dean Pamela Butterfield organized the SCRUBS Camp.

GCC nursing instructors Ty Jones and Grumbo lent their experience and expertise to the camp.

Volunteers needed to serve as advocates for abused children A group that advocates for children in state custody this week issued an urgent plea for a volunteer who can help “Michael,” a 1-year-old baby removed from his home due to abuse and neglect.

Court Appointed Special

Advocates (CASA) said the Department of Child Safety removed Michael due to his mother’s long history of substance abuse and neglect, starting with her use of meth while pregnant.

The baby’s father is in prison and

the three children taken from his mother are in three different foster homes, since no single foster family could take all three.

The CASA volunteer would get training so he or she could advocate for the child in the system.

Among the CASA volunteer’s responsibilities: Monitoring Michael’s progress in his foster

home, making recommendations to the judge, connecting with his doctor to be aware of his physical and mental health conditions and working with the Department of Child Safety to determine if the mother would be willing to participate in services so she could be reunited with her son.

The volunteer would spend

about 15 to 20 hours per month advocating for an abused or neglected child.

The position requires no previous experience and entails free, comprehensive training.

Once certification and training are complete, CASA volunteers spend time learning about the child and their needs, gathering

information about the child’s circumstances, advocating for the child’s services, and providing information to the court.

If interested in becoming a CASA volunteer, contact CASA of Gila County by emailing dmckeen@courts.az.gov or visiting oCASAofGilaCounty.org or call 928-474-7145.

Payson business has international reach Teresa McQuerrey

Forecast by the National Weather Service

roundup staff reporter

The Rim Country has an international reputation as a recreational mecca. Not many residents realize it has an international business reach as well.

One of Payson’s businesses working on the international stage is Pulse Combustion Systems.

Pulse Combustion Systems, located in Payson’s Skypark Industrial Park since 1999, is in the industrial spray-drying business. Spray drying is a technology that converts liquids into powders — for instance, raw eggs into egg powder that then goes into a cake mix, explains James A. Rehkopf, the company president.

The company has two activities — one is to sell dryers for customers to operate on their premises and the other is to dry liquid products in Payson before shipping the powder back to the customer.

The company uses patented and proprietary pulse combustion technology to produce better powder than conventional spray driers or freeze drying systems.

These dryers deliver significant cost and performance improvements across the entire spectrum of feedstocks, including foods, chemicals, minerals, nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals.

Rehkopf said the business started in 1995 in California after the technology was developed and proven. While the company did not open a plant here until 1999, it first came to the area in 1996 because it was the site of its first project. Rehkopf said Payson was chosen for its proximity to that project and the welcoming attitude of town officials.

Currently Pulse Combustion Systems has 10 employees at its Payson operation: two managers, three supervisors and five operators.

Pulse Combustion Systems recently entertained buyers from Mexico. Representatives from Tecsiquim, SA de CV, Mexico City, were in Payson June 15 to finalize arrangements for its purchase of a specially constructed drying system. Tecsiquim produces a line of solvents for liquid chromatography, mainly for phar-

Rehkopf said Tecsiquim purchased the company’s small production dryer for use in its plant to make a high-value animal feed additive. The new pulse dryer will make an improved powder and will make it more quickly and at less cost.

The Tecsiquim dryer is the company’s first “plug and play” dryer, Rehkopf said. It has been completely assembled and tested at the plant and the customers came to inspect the dryer and learn how to operate it, in what is called a “Factory Acceptance Test.”

The sale to Tecsiquim is Pulse Combustion Systems’ first sale of a complete dryer to an international customer. The company

Motor vehicle crashes on local roads and highways across the state claimed the lives of 895 people in 2015, 121 more than the year before, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation’s annual Motor Vehicle Crash Facts report.

The statistical report summing up data provided by law enforcement agencies around the state provides some sobering information about motor vehicle crashes last year, including the 16 percent increase in fatalities. The highest annual number of motor vehicle crash fatalities in Arizona — 1,301 — occurred in 2006.

The numbers highlight how better decisions can save lives when it comes to the following factors, some of which can apply to the same crashes: • 313 of those killed last year weren’t using

has sold dryer components, but not complete dryers to companies in Germany, Canada and South Africa.

“We are extremely proud of our operation here in Payson, as well as of our achievements.

We are privileged to have qualified, dynamic and talented leaders,” said Ina Grobler, quality, logistics and marketing manager with Payson’s Pulse Combustion Systems.

“Pulse produces a world class, unique product that brings buyers from across the globe to our cool mountain town. Almost without exception, prospective customers comment about how easy it is to get to Payson. They often remark about it being 75 minutes north of Sky Harbor, one of the busiest airports, yet a world

away when it comes to quality of life issues. Business visitors are impressed with our friendly hospitality industry, and from the Town’s perspective, they add income to the community during the week — not just on weekends and holidays.

“Another ancillary benefit is that because of the unique materials that are used in Pulse assemblies, we have the opportunity to court and try to recruit additional companies such as Evans Alloy that can manufacture and weld exotic or highly specialized metals and assemblies. That vortex principle will produce the kind of jobs we need as we move forward as a community,” said Payson Mayor Kenny Evans, who visited the plant to meet with the company’s guests from Mexico.

One of the biggest wins in Payson softball history came in a thrilling 4-3 eight-inning semifinal triumph over Winslow in the 2015 Division 3 state semifinals thanks to Arissa Paulson’s walk-off homer. The Longhorns’ rivalry with the Bulldogs will be rekindled as both teams find themselves back in the 3A East in 2017. Winslow played in Division 2 and Payson in Division 3 this past season. state crown.

Of the eight teams making the D3 baseball quarterfinals this spring, six are moving up in conference — three to 6A, one to 5A and two to 4A. Payson beat Rio Rico in the first round. That school will move up to Conference 4A next spring, as will Cottonwood Mingus, the team that won Payson’s section this season.

“Next year will be a much better spread,” Young said. “Most of the teams in our conference will now be 1,000 down to about 600-something. It just goes to show that this year’s placements were such a huge screw up that they had to fix it right away. It’s unfortunate for the kids we had on this year’s team, but we just have to work hard and prepare for where we will be next year.”

The 3A Conference features 37 schools of roughly similar enrollments.

One of the best things about the realignment is Payson gets to renew its rivalry with 3A East foe Winslow in softball after the Bulldogs wound up in Division 2 last season. Winslow beat Payson in the D3 state championship game in 2014 before the Longhorns avenged that heartbreaking loss with a thrilling eight-inning triumph in the 2015 semifinals.

Now the Longhorn softball team won’t have to deal with huge schools like Yuma Cibola (now in 6A) and Yuma Kofa (6A) or Tucson Catalina Foothills, which moves up to 4A after beating Payson for the D3 state title. Of course, the Longhorns beat underdog Kofa in the opening round of the tournament before stunning No. 1 Cibola in the semifinals, so opportunities for those kinds of upsets will be limited going forward.

Not a great deal will change for Payson in fall soccer. There are 25

Sports briefs Longhorns kick off season at home Payson High opens the football season at home against Safford on Aug. 19 in the schedule recently posted at aia365.com.

The highlights continue to be the three games against 3A East rivals Show Low (Sept. 30 at Payson), Snowflake (Oct. 7 at Snowflake) and Lakeside Blue Ridge (Oct. 21 at Payson).

The five 3A East games also include a home game against Winslow on Oct. 14 and a road game at Holbrook on Oct. 28.

The Longhorns’ first away game is Aug. 26 at Queen Creek Casteel, a Class 4A school entering its first varsity season. It’ll be the first varsity home game in school history for Casteel, located in the Chandler School District. The school opened last year and fielded only a freshman team. This year’s team will feature only freshmen and sophomores.

Payson also plays at Fountain Hills on Sept. 2 and at Flagstaff Coconino on Sept. 9 before closing the non-region portion of the schedule at home against Eagar Round Valley on Sept. 16.

Alexis Bechman/Roundup file photo

Last weekend marked the second drowning in the 20-foot-deep pool at the base of the popular Fossil Creek waterfall. These photos were taken during a 2013 rescue operation.

Fossil Creek drowning witness From page 1A alone.

After driving an hour on the rutted dirt road into the canyon, Pariso hiked a mile up to the waterfall, one of the most popular destinations along the travertine creek, which drew 130,000 visitors last year.

Rescuers had to rescue 207 of those visitors last year, mostly ill-equipped hikers. Despite cautionary signs, visitors often don’t have enough water, wear the wrong footwear and misjudge their ability to hike out. That’s especially true on the upper trail, which requires a 4.5-mile hike, and 1,400 feet of elevation change, to reach the creek from Strawberry.

This summer, the Forest Service instituted a reservation system. When applying for a parking permit to the creek, visitors are warned of the dangers.

Pine-Strawberry Fire Chief Gary Morris said that system seems to have reduced the number of rescues — and the number of people in the creek. So far, the Gila County Sheriff’s Office has had 25 rescues this summer.

The beauty of the creek awed Pariso when he arrived. Cool, clear, aquamarine water cascaded from the spring-fed waterfall.

He took his shoes off and waded in, making sure to stay out of the way of those jumping off the waterfall.

At least 40 people had gathered around the pool, some lounging along the shore, others playing in the shallows and many more jumping off into the deep pool.

Pariso had a hard time keeping his footing on the slippery rocks and noted most people had water shoes on, which seemed to help.

He watched six men arrive and put their stuff down by his pack.

Three went into the shallows while three headed to the pool below the waterfall. Morris said divers estimate the pool is 21 to 26 feet deep.

Pariso got out of the creek to get a drink of water and when he got back in, a man approached and asked if he had seen his friend, who had been missing for some time.

Pariso learned the missing man didn’t know how to swim.

“The next part was horrible,” Pariso said.

One of the men asked two children with goggles if he could borrow one set. The man dove into the water and quickly came up and started yelling for help.

He had spotted his friend’s body below the waterfall, trapped by the current.

They pulled the body out and started CPR, but the man was already gone.

Pariso said he keeps going over in his head how 40 people could have missed seeing the man go under. They were all looking at the waterfall, but Pariso suspects most were watching the jumpers and didn’t notice someone underneath the falls.

Pariso would like to see the

Forest Service put up signs in the area warning visitors of the depth of the pool below the falls and the strong undertow. Perhaps they could station a lifeguard at the pool on the weekends.

“Anything to not have that happen again,” he said.

A spokesman for Coconino National Forest said the creek is not an officially designated swimming site. Brady Smith, public affairs officer, said they are reviewing the situation and unfortunately, “recreating anywhere on the forest presents many different risks of various kinds.”

This is the second drowning below the waterfall since October, on top of two near-drownings. All involved adults.

On Wednesday, officials met to go over the Fossil Creek management plan. Morris learned visitors are using the reservation system. About 20 percent of those who make a reservation and pay the $5 fee don’t actually show up.

He said the Forest Service is working on updating the language on the reservation website to emphasize the hazards getting to and at the creek. This includes the rigor of the hike, the amount of water needed and the dangers at the waterfall. They hope to add language that emphasizes only strong swimmers should enter the water and if they need help, rescue will not be rapid.

New signs point way to fossils from a vanished world by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

No more guessing at the Rim Country’s own Paleo site just outside of Kohl’s Ranch.

Eagle Scout Ben Mohler has installed, with copious amounts of help from the Forest Service, two beautiful new signs that explain the how, why, when and what of the mound of fossils that awaits visitors.

On the warm Saturday morning of May 21, Ben, his father Sherman and the rest of his fellow Adventurer group caravaned up to the Paleo site to officially put the signs on very sturdy posts.

Jason Spence from the recreation department of the Payson Ranger District helped Ben and his group put the finishing touches on the signs.

Also in attendance, a few families with about half a dozen little children who didn’t have much patience to listen to anything the adults had to say, they preferred to look for fossils.

(Spoiler alert for any grandparents out there — the Paleo site guarantees your grandkids will find an ancient creature to take home with them — guaranteed excitement.)

While Ben, Sherman, Spence and the other Scout Adventurers worked to put up signs, the families wandered around the area heads bent in concentration searching for chunks of limestone with the tell-tale ridges and bumps that indicate the different creatures that lived in the inland sea that once covered the Rim Country.

Suddenly, one of the little ones jumped up, rock in hand.

“Mommy, mommy come here!”

The two took the rock and headed over to the sign to figure out exactly what type of creature they had found.

Spence said because Ben found more money, the Forest Service architects were able to suggest a much stronger more solid sign structure for the site.

“These signs are the more rec-

ommended type for long term,” said Spence.

Ben said he spent hours designing the signs.

“Originally when I brought it (the sign design) in, it looked like a brochure,” said Ben. So, he taught himself how to work with Photoshop and came back with signs that are easy for people to read and interpret.

As he talked, one of the children brought a fossil to him.

“That looks like really tiny composita — it’s the one on the left,” said Ben as he pointed to his sign.

The young fossil hunter clutched his prize to run off to tell his mom.

Spence said when he’s out and about on Forest Service duties; he notices someone is at the Paleo at all times.

GEORGE

Nothing more than a friendly

guy here that loves family time.

I’ve known kids for part of my life and don’t mind them one bit. I’ll protect your yard from delivery men in uniforms, I just don’t like the way they look.

Maybe I’m particular when it comes to fashion, who knows.

What I do know is that I get along with pretty much anyone

Gizmo

in regular clothing and dogs too.

I have a best friend named, Niki, and we’ve lived together; I’ve always enjoyed her company. I love going for walks and still need a little help with not taking you for a wild ride. If you think I would fit in with family game night, just spend some quality time with me.

GIZMO

Gizmo is quiet and shy but a loving young lady. She came from a hoarding situation in Prescott so she hasn’t had much socialization. Gizmo has a voice and will come forward. Once you step in and show her affection, she will surely love you right back.

back in action. Silent partner Mike has been pressed into service to help out at Creekside in her absence.

Congressman Paul Gosar made a visit to the Creek this week. He met with CKFD personnel and Chief Lockhart.

They laid out plans for a return visit and a tour of the forest thinning operations here locally.

Speaking of thinning operations, Randy Dawson and LR were caught trim-

ming trees on Columbine Road this week in preparation for the arrival of the two 12-foot-wide units that will make up LR’s new home. June 24 is the big day.

Last Saturday and Sunday a great crew chipped in to gather the materials and build the form that will make up the base for the monument memorializing the victims of the Labor Day Flood in 1970.

Don and Kiki Farmer, Larry Waltemeyer, John Trutchin, nephew Jerry, Reyes from Treeland Nursery and yours truly spent many hours and made huge strides toward the completion of the tasks at hand. Sunday was a hot one!

The 500-pound granite slab is currently being quarried in Georgia, then will be polished and shipped to a Safford, Ariz. company for the inscription. The concrete slab beneath the memorial will be poured soon.

All is scheduled to culminate with the dedication and unveiling on Sept. 3 at Green Valley Park in Payson.

A new name has cropped up recently on the Tribute to Christopher Creek FB group page. Not many would know the name Lisa Peterson. Lisa lost her mother in the 1970 flood and plans to be at the dedication.

Double D Doings

By popular demand, the Village will have a Fourth of July parade on Saturday, July 2.

The parade, sponsored by the Double D Bar and Café, has been a tradition-

al holiday event for many years and was originally called “Kids N Critters” parade. Well, that part will continue, plus there will be decorated quads, trucks and whatever anyone wants to decorate.

The Hellsgate Fire truck, with Nick Fitch driving, leads the parade.

The restaurant’s patio area will have a hot dog platter available with all the side fixin’s and all the kids who were in the parade will be treated to free watermelon and popsicles.

Also by popular demand, the “Chicken

Drop” game will be making a return appearance after a few years off. Half of the winnings will go to the winner and half will be donated to the Hellsgate Fireflies Auxiliary.

Live entertainment by the Ron Gibson Band will be featured in the patio area in the evening.

So, get your thinking caps on and decorate the pets, quads and even floats to help everyone celebrate our wonderful free country. We are so very lucky to be born in the United States so that we can enjoy all the freedom our country provides. As part of your personal celebrations, don’t forget the veterans who have sacrificed themselves so that we stay free.

Birthdays

This week the birthdays are not so many. On June 21, Stephanie Morris of Tonto Village II will light a few candles on her birthday cake; and June 26, Danny Cain of Tonto Village III and co-owner of the Double D will celebrate his big day.

Happy birthday, Stephanie and Danny.

And remember ... don’t think of yourself as old. Chronologically gifted sounds way more cool.

This week’s recipe

Do you need a cool recipe this week? I just happen to have one that was submitted by Scherry Duncan of Mead Ranch for the “Fireflies Can Cook” cookbook.

Spicy Onion rollups 1 cup sour cream 1, 8-ounce pkg. cream cheese 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese 3/4 cup sliced green onions handful cilantro, stems removed, then chopped 1 tablespoon jalapeño pepper, seeds removed, then minced (I wear latex gloves when I do this) salsa (your choice, I use smoked chipotle) 1 tablespoon lime juice 1 package flour tortillas, large burrito size In a large bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Spread over each tortilla and roll up lightly. Refrigerate until chilled. Slice into 1/2- to 3/4-inch pieces.

I have seen many variations of this appetizer, but this one has the most pizazz.

I will return in July, first that is, if the creek don’t rise — I sure hope it would rise, if only just a little bit.

Characters Under the Rim – Sam and Margaret Stewart north, and east to today’s Banner Payson Medical Center. The family farmed this property.

When the Wentworth family left town in 1904, Sam bought Tammany Hall, their saloon and dance hall. It was located on the southwest corner of Main Street and the road from Globe (McLane). [1] Meanwhile they had three more children, Muriel M. (called Mamie) born April 8, 1895, William born in November 1897 and Guy Leonard born June 5, 1900.

In 1913 Sam Stewart “proved up” on his land claim, and in 1915 he did the same on a second section of land to farm. That year the family built a red sandstone house on their farm, at today’s address 500 W. Main. [2] The only hotel in town was the 20-room Herron Hotel, but it burned down in November 1918. [3] The Stewarts took advantage of the need for hostelry and converted their saloon-dance hall into a

As the senior Stewarts aged they moved to Globe, perhaps because some of their children had already moved there.

Sam died Dec. 6, 1952, and Margaret died June 10, 1948. [4] Both Sam and Margaret, as well as their son William, are buried in the Payson Pioneer Cemetery.

[2] In modern times the house was owned

Margaret quickly became famous for her good cooking, and when the resounding triangle sounded every noon folks knew it was time for one of her delicious meals. The faithful clanging of that triangle became the town timepiece during those years. Julia Randall recalled, “She never missed a Sunday sending up dinner to my mother and dad ….” Randall’s father, Justice of the Peace George A. Randall, was bedfast after a stroke. The Randalls and Stewarts were close neighbors and partners in local law enforcement. Sam Stewart had been elected constable and worked with the judge.

Also discussed were the progress the board has made over the two years, along with the frustrations that have plagued the district due to inadequate engineering services and the lack of project management.

Board member Maher Hazine presented a proposed budget that would include higher tax revenue for repayment of a $6.4 million district loan.

Maher stressed the board wanted to pay off the loan by 2025, which could probably save over $1 million in interest.

Both water rates and increased tax levy are expected to be decided on at future board meetings.

Friends host potluck

Pine Library Friends members have extended a public invitation to join them at noon, Monday, June 27, in the library activity room behind the cultural hall.

The meeting will feature a potluck and all PLF members are asked to bring a dish. Beverages, plates and cutlery will be provided.

“There will be no guest speaker so that we can have more time to enjoy each other and ourselves,” said PLF member Helen Palmer. “Come and see old friends and perhaps meet some new ones.”

Troubling school story

Roundup reporter Michele Nelson’s story, “Pine school furor continues,” in the June 21 edition was a sad commentary on what went on the past two years in Pine-Strawberry School.

I’ve taught in school districts where zealous board members overstepped their bounds and tried to impose their will on administrators and teachers.

Is that what was going on in PineStrawberry?

The real losers in the controversy are the students.

Summer reading to begin

The Isabelle Hunt Memorial Library annual summer reading program kicks off July 6 and continues each Wednesday throughout the month. The sessions will be held from 10:15 a.m. to noon in the library activity room.

For opening day, the program is entitled “When and Where, Then and There.”

On July 16 it’s “Fueling Your Engine” and on July 20 it’s “Out of the Ordinary.”

Summer reading wraps up July 27 with “Motion Commotion,” which will feature outdoor activities, rewards and refreshments.

The program is a part of Read On Arizona, whose mantra is “When Arizona Reads, Arizona Thrives.”

First Things First, an award winning not-for-profit organization dedicated to strengthening families, also contributes to Read On Arizona For the program, the local library aligned with the communities of Payson, Star Valley and Young to become affiliated with Read On. The goal is to raise awareness of the importance of early literacy. Raising proficient readers is a high priority for the Read On partners who acknowledge the success of children in later life is related

directly to reading proficiency.

In addition to the library hosting the summer reading program, it offers “Artist in Training” sessions through the day each Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

Chess classes are held from 1 to 3 p.m. each Friday in July.

“Kung Fu Panda 3” will be shown during Movie Madness at 1:30 p.m., Thursday, July 28. The movie is rated PG and is 95 minutes in length.

For more information on any library activity, call 928-476-3678.

Tonto Fire restrictions

Those planning a trek into the woods should remember Tonto National Forest Supervisor Neil Bosworth last week enacted emergency fire restrictions due to fire danger throughout the Rim Country.

It is now illegal to build or maintain a campfire, 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.

Thought for the week

“Confidence is contagious, so is lack of confidence.” — Vince Lombardi

Last week I told you that I new; I had signed for as much as 20,000 believed I was infected with amoebic dys- pounds of secret cargo with no idea what entery, which was incurable in 1960, or it was.

On Thursday Hasan, my assistant, to stay there I was taking tiny anti-diarrhea and guard them while I finished pills as I handled yet another unloading the rest of the cargo. cargo aircraft.

I saw the usual two long Tom Garrett and on its way back to the states, stacks of cargo restrained by I hopped in the Jeep, drove to tie-down straps, but at the end the embassy in Karachi 14 miles of each stack was a solid wooden crate away, parked, told Hasan to stay there about 18-inches-by-24-inches-by-10-inch- and guard the third crate, carried two es, each weighing a surprisingly heavy 88 of them upstairs to the Marine security pounds. And between the two long stacks guard, came back, got the other one, carried it up, and began tearing off a copy of was a third one.

I asked the loadmaster why they were the manifest as a receipt for the Marine to sign. tied down separately like that.

But then a small red-edged special He said he didn’t know, handed me a copy of the manifest that listed them, and handling label fell out of the middle of asked me to sign for them because they the manifests. It pertained to the secret

cargo and said: “WARNING! DO NOT PLACE THESE THREE CRATES WITHIN 20 FEET OF EACH OTHER!” It should have been stapled on top of the manifests, but some dummy had torn it off and stuck it inside them!

Whew! Ever seen three small, but heavy crates whizzed apart on a terrazzo floor, Johnny? You should have been there!

Well, I got them apart and got the receipt signed, but that wasn’t what was worrying me. What kind of cargo is shipped in very small, heavy crates that cannot be placed within 20 feet of each other? What kind of material acts over a distance?

You know the answer, and so did I! And I had just carried two of the blasted crates, one on either side of my head!

Plus which, both I and poor Hasan had been sitting within five feet of the stacked crates. I said nothing to Hasan. I didn’t want to scare him. I drove him home and headed for the embassy doctor’s office.

There, they checked the dosimeter

that hung around my neck, but they said they couldn’t read it “for some odd reason.”

Ho! Ho! Ho! “You’ll no doubt be flown back to the states,” the doctor told me.

I thought fast. I was in love, and I was not going anyplace! “Doc,” I told him, “this is a highly classified matter.

I have to see the ambassador about it.

Meantime, not a word to anyone, understand?”

“If I was irradiated,” I told the ambassador, “so was Hasan. We could have an international incident on our hands.”

He agreed to let me handle it quietly — if I could. Well, I got sick and so did Hasan, but neither of us critically.

I arranged for Hasan to get paid sick leave.

I kept on working. No one guessed a thing.

I lost a little hair, and some weight, but guess what else I lost, Johnny?

If I had ever actually had amoebic dysentery that got lost too.

Lucky me!
