Tempest tosses boats Roosevelt Lake storm: ‘Worst I’ve seen’ by

6 p.m. when they spotted people running along the shore trying to secure awnings and tents. They then saw boats getting tossed erratically in the water near Horse Pasture, a popular place to camp along on the west end of Roosevelt Lake, said Steve Holt, Tonto Basin Fire chief. As firefighters tried to help campers and boaters, the Gila County Sheriff’s Office sent deputies out on boats to find any marooned or capsized boats. Luckily, everyone appeared to have gotten off the lake before the storm hit, Dorsett said. At Horse Pasture, waves and high winds tipped over boats and pushed others 12 feet up on the

The Mogollon Health Alliance and Banner Health on Friday completed their merger, with enormous implications for health care in Rim Country, the Payson university project and educational and health care charitable initiatives. Banner paid the newly created MHA Foundation $40 million. The longtime Mogollon Health Alliance will now change its name to the MHA Foundation. Banner will assume control of Payson Regional Medical Center on Aug. 1, renaming it Banner Payson Medical Center. Todd Werner, president of Banner’s Arizona East Division, said Banner will offer contracts to almost all of the existing medical staff and most administrators who currently work for Community Health Services, a national hospital chain that has operated the hospital for the past 18 years. However, Banner, after a careful review, has decided to change the group running the emergency room, said Werner. Banner will continue meeting with employees to sign on as many as possible. Banner agreed to invest an added $25 million in improvements in the 44-bed medical center over the next seven years. Werner said Banner will consult with medical staff, the MHA Foundation and others to prioritize the necessary investments. “We want to become a trusted adviser and health steward for the community. That means you
have to listen carefully to what people want — and that’s it in a nutshell. That’s something we take very seriously.” Becky Kuhn, executive vice president for community delivery at Banner Health, said, “We were anxious to see this transaction finalized so that we can concentrate on the transition of clinical services, physician recruitment and connecting with the hospital employees and volunteers. CHS has been a good steward of this hospital and we are excited to build on that legacy.” The MHA Foundation will retain ownership of its other properties in Payson, together with its enormously increased endowment to support Rim Country educational and medical charities and initiatives. “This merger signals a planned and well-executed shift from a fixed property asset to more liquid financial instruments,” said MHA Foundation President Kenny Evans. “The MHA Foundation will continue to build on MHA’s decades of prudent financial management and our demonstrated commitment to our mission and vision for health care and education in Rim Country.” The merger gives MHA Foundation enough money to move the university project forward by concluding the $4.1 million purchase of 253 acres from the U.S. Forest Service. The MHA Foundation will work through the Rim Country Educational Foundation it established to facilitate the project.

A furious monsoon storm on Roosevelt Lake swamped boats and overturned docks on Saturday.
payson.com
A torrential storm struck Tonto Basin Saturday evening with waves tossing boats about, swamping some and even flipping a dock on Roosevelt Lake. No one was reported injured. The waves and wind shoved at least half a dozen boats up on shore or onto rocks. The dock at Cholla Bay even landed on top of one boat, said Wayne Dorsett, with the Gila County Sheriff’s Office. “I have been working here for seven years and this has been about the worst I have seen,” he said. Members of a Tonto Basin Fire crew were just heading to the station at the end of their shift before

Lightning killed a 24-year-old woman Saturday and injured several others hiking on the Mogollon Rim during a social outing. Christine Garcia of Orlando, Fla. was hiking the Cabin Loop Trail with her boyfriend and 10 other people she had recently met through Meetup.com, a networking website, when a monsoon storm overtook the group. Although the group did everything they could to save Garcia, including CPR and stealing a vehicle to call for help, Garcia was pronounced dead at the scene. The leader of the group, Corey, known as “Poochie” on the site, was airlifted to a Flagstaff hospital with serous injuries. Elias Elqueta, of Scottsdale, who had just met Garcia that morning, said they had planned to hike 10.5 miles of the east section of the Cabin Loop Trail. Most of the group had met the night before in Phoenix and driven to the Rim, camping in a clearing past the Blue Ridge Ranger Station, according to the trip itinerary online. Seven miles into the hike, the group noticed a storm building in the

A home surrounded by thick brush nearly caught fire Saturday after children playing with fireworks ignited a brush fire, say PineStrawberry Fire officials. The children were playing with the fireworks when sparks started four smaller fires on the east side of State Route 87, roughly halfway between Pine and Strawberry just after noon. Firefighters from P-S and Forest Service Hotshots found the flames quickly moving upslope from the roadway toward a home in the Portal IV subdivision, the fires merging into one. “Fortunately, response from neighbors with two garden hoses and a rapid fire attack by firefighters stopped the fire just 40 feet short of the home,” said Gary Morris, P-S fire chief. Investigators found firework shells in the area and several people had observed children in the area. The home was unoccupied and no one was injured. The home does not meet Firewise standards and with dense brush See Firecracker fire, page 2A FREE the rim review
Pine Strawberry Fuel Reduction Committee members are confident the 2015 brush pickup program that has been delayed since mid-May will begin this week. Pickups could not begin as scheduled after workers discovered mechanical problems with the brush truck that turned out to be a completely blown diesel engine. “We are very hopeful that repairs will be done and we should be able to start the brush pickup in Pine,” committee chairman Melvin Palmer said late last week. Although that’s good news for homeowners eager to clear their property of brush, slash and pine needles, the repairs will cost thousands. “The cost of the new engine will be $15,000 plus necessary parts and labor to remove the old and install the new,” Palmer said. Those unexpected costs represent a blow to the committee’s budget, but the group has turned to a contingency account to pay for the truck See Brush truck, page 2A

repairs. “Like any good business, we did have a reserve to take care of such unexpected problems,” the chairman said. “Otherwise, this could have shut us down completely.” Committee treasurer Darwin Huber estimates the group has about $44,000 in its coffers, generated over the years by fundraisers, donations and the Fire on the Rim Mountain Bike Race. While most residents in the two tiny mountain hamlets are breathing a sigh of relief that the fire-prevention program will soon begin, some have suggested the Pine Strawberry Fire Department should foot the repair bills since it actually owns the truck. The department purchased the truck years ago when it ran a brush pickup program funded by government grants. When the grants dried up three years ago, PSFR took over the program and negotiated a lease agreement with the department to use

firefighter position,” said P/S Fire Chief Gary Morris. “Today the on-duty workforce is reduced to five.” Which means almost all the funding the department receives goes to emergency services in the two towns, with little money left over for the brush pickup program. “So, we’re down to community donations this year to do a basic brush pickup,” Morris lamented. Palmer said most committee members understand the department’s budget shortfalls and are willing to use PSFR funds to continue the brush pickup program. “This is a community and we are all working towards the same outcome.” The PSFR committee was formed in 2004 when the Pine Strawberry area was ranked in the top-10 in the country for having the potential for catastrophic wildfires. Thanks to the committee’s fuel reduction, trail building and education efforts, the area is no longer among the top-10 most dangerous.

the one-ton truck and trailer. Palmer contends asking the cash-strapped fire district to shoulder the repair bill is not an option. “The fire district is limited by legislation on the amount of property taxes they can operate on and is basically working on bare bones right now and can’t afford to take this much out of their budget without jeopardizing something else,” he said. The legislation Palmer is referring to is a fire district levy tax capped at $3.25 of assessed valuation on property in the area. The fire district cannot exceed that rate in its budget, meaning no more revenue will become available without increases in assessed values. While assessed values rose slightly this year, the fire district only received a minimal $18,000 budget increase. That has not been enough of a financial boost to keep the department running full bore, let alone pay for brush truck repairs. “Pine Strawberry (Fire) reduced its work force by two civilian employees and three
leading up to it the fire would have easily reached the home and caught fire had firefighters not gotten there so quickly, Morris said. All homeowners are advised to clear the ground level brush back some distance from their home or any buildings on their property. P-S Fire will inspect any property free and advise what a homeowner needs to clear.
With the Fourth of July holiday approaching, this fire perfectly illustrates why fireworks are banned in town and in the forest, Morris said. It is illegal to use fireworks in Payson, Pine, Strawberry, Gila County or anywhere in the forest. Fines can be imposed and individuals can be held legally liable for damages and firefighting costs. Besides the brush fire, P-S firefighters were busy handling an “unusually high number” of
calls for the department Saturday. Three of the calls were for medical aid, several for downed power lines in the Portals subdivision area and another for a vehicle that rolled on Fossil Creek Road. The vehicle was traveling down the dirt road, which leads to the Fossil Creek trailhead outside of Strawberry, when it rolled. Paramedics transported one person for injuries.
Merger will transform charity and health care From page 1A But the merger has implications for Rim Country far beyond facilitating the university project. The merger could have a big impact on the cost of medical care in Rim Country, since under the management of CHS, Payson Regional Medical Center rated as one of the most expensive hospitals in the state. Werner said Banner would study all its existing contracts and cost structures moving forward. The medical center has also drawn criticism from some patients and families for problems in the emergency room, especially when it came to transfers to Valley hospitals for lack of a full range of services and advanced diagnosis at the medical center. Stories abound of patients forced to undergo costly, frustrating, transfers to Valley facilities for lack of expertise locally. Banner has hired the popular new director of the medical center Lance Porter to continue running the hospital. However, Werner said Banner has decided to change contractors when it comes to running the emergency room. “We think we have an opportunity to ensure we have the highest level of service to people of the community who show up in the ER. We’re just very confident in what they do,” he said. Banner has also said it will work to expand telemedicine services, which allows doctors and patients in small hospitals and rural areas to establish real-time connections with specialists all over the country. Initially, Banner will connect the Payson intensive care unit to a telemedicine unit at Desert Banner, to provide real-time consul-
tation with a team of specialists. The system has resulted in big improvements in care in other small hospitals Banner operates. “We have interventions in a central location that can remotely monitor ICU patients across a few dozen hospital — about 450 ICU beds. We’ve seen really good enhancements — lowering morbidity and mortality rates — in concert with people on the front lines.” Banner operates all of the University of Arizona medical facilities. The U of A is a leader in telemedicine, with a longtime focus on rural medicine. Typically, rural areas have far fewer primary care doctors per 1,000 residents and often very limited access to specialist care. The release announcing the completion of the merger said “Banner will look to grow or maintain clinical services currently offered at Payson Regional, including the growth of telehealth services. It is Banner’s intent to keep Payson patients in the community for care whenever possible.” Robust telemedicine services could make that much easier, by giving doctors access to specialist advice and diagnosis for Payson patients. Truven Health Analytics (formerly Thompson Reuters) has consistently ranked Banner as one of the top-performing health systems in the country based on patient survival rates and complications. Banner ranked in the top five nationally in three of the past five years. Banner is one of the largest nonprofit health care chains in the country, with 28 acute-care hospitals. The chain operates in seven western states and ranks as the largest health care provider in Arizona. It also operates an array of clinics, long-term care centers, outpatient surgery centers,
and provides family clinics, home care and hospice services. Evans, head of the MHA Foundation as well as mayor of Payson, said the merger will allow the Foundation to dramatically expand its charitable mission in the community, in addition to supporting the university project. MHA created the Rim Country Educational Foundation to help the Rim Country Educational Alliance bring a university to Payson. The payment from Banner has provided enough money to buy the land and keep the process moving, with a huge endowment for other projects untouched. The current plan calls for the Rim Country Educational Alliance to return the money for the land purchase and other upfront costs to the Foundation once it accesses a promised line of credit for the project from National Standard, a coalition of investment-minded insurance companies. The Educational Foundation will then use that money to help the Aspire Foundation find ways to lower the cost of attending the Payson campus for students. But beyond boosting the university project, the merger gives the MHA Foundation $40 million to operate on a much more ambitious and sustained scale. In recent years, MHA played a leading role in establishing a dialysis center in Rim Country, providing up-to-date computer technology for the Payson Unified School District, establishing vocational programs for nurses and firefighters at Gila Community College and bringing high-speed Internet to the region. Evans said the bolstered MHA Foundation will continue to support both medical and educational initiatives in the region.

The kids gathered around Scoops owner, Payson Town Council member and sponsor of the event, Chris Higgins to learn exactly how to beat the competition in the annual Rock-PaperScissors contest at the Payson Farmers Market. The winners? Rylee Carnes for the youth division and Nikki Gollihar for the adult. Around the corner, other little ones decided it would be more fun to ride on a pony. In the center of the market, still others splashed about on the water table, while their parents wandered up and down to admire the wares from farms, bakeries, food vendors and artisans. Each week, the market hosts a contest or fun event to add to the bustling activities already going on at the market. Last week, local bakers got to show of their wares by submitting a fruit pie for the pie-eating contest. Winners included Deb Schwalm of Pine who won both the People’s Choice and Most Original awards for her Mango Crepe Pie. She decorated it with
flowers! Craig from Divine Bakery won the Best Pie Award for a Cannoli Strawberry Pie. Ashley Reger won second place with her Salted Caramel Apple Pie. Third place went to Boyd Peace for his Blackberry Pie. Upcoming events include cantaloupe bowling and a tomato launch. Since it first started in 2009, the Payson Farmers Market has added more vendors that have helped to launch more small businesses such as the Urban Survivalist canned foods.
The founders based the market on the idea of Locavore. Food comes from only 100 miles out from the market and sold directly from the farmer or food maker to customers. The Payson Farmers Market runs from May 23 to Sept. 19 every Saturday morning from 8 a.m. until noon. Check out their website at http://www.paysonfarmersmarket.com.

Kinder, gentler school board ‘We’re in transition out of chaos and crisis’ by
Michele Nelson
roundup staff reporter
The Payson Unified School District board at its retreat on June 27 admitted the reverberations of the last two years still haunt them, but have faith the new administration is guiding them through the maze firmly and calmly. “We’re still in transition out of chaos and crisis,” said Shirley Dye, board member. “Things have gotten better after Greg got here (but) we are still crawling out of the demise.” The annual board retreat offers an opportunity to reflect and review to make sure the ship stays on course. “This meeting is our annual evaluation of the school board,” said board president Barbara Underwood. “No matter what business you are in, you need to improve.” Overall, the board gave itself fair to middling marks. “Nobody thought we were unsatisfactory in any area,” said Underwood. Some of the things the board felt needed improvement: • Its relationship with PUSD personnel. • Keeping a finger on the pulse of the “instructional program” by visiting schools. However, unlike the recent past, the board gave itself high marks for its relationship with the superintendent and between each other. The board also had a chance to list the major problems it faces, including:
Michele Nelson/Roundup
Payson Unified School District Superintendent Greg Wyman led a six-hour school board retreat on Saturday. • Retaining employees without pay raises. • Student achievement. • Understanding the budget. Some of the district weaknesses the board identified included: • Teacher/staff turnover. • Hiring practices of employees. • Inconsistent application of rules and policies. Some of the strengths: • Improved communication
between the school administration and the community. • Moving forward with the technology plan. • Staff morale. Yet Angie Prock identified one aspect of being a board member she didn’t realize — notoriety. “Have you noticed walking down the hall how they treat you differently?” asked Underwood. “Yeah, it’s kinda weird,” said Prock.
Lightning kills hiker atop Rim From page 1A distance. When it started raining, they figured it would pass quickly, Elqueta said. The rain turned into a torrential downpour and the group decided to wait it out where the trail intersects with a Forest Service road. One woman left when her Chihuahua ran off, scared of the thunder. The woman flagged down a passing motorist and got a lift back to her vehicle. The rest donned their raincoats, covered their packs and took cover under some ponderosa pines. Elqueta said he was sitting next to Poochie and talking. Several other people were sitting nearby, Garcia roughly three feet away. Elqueta saw a bright light and a heard thunderous crack. The lightning knocked him on his back. When he stood up, he noticed everyone was still lying on the ground, some unresponsive. As people came to, they joined Elqueta in turning people over and checking their vitals. Several ran off to get help. Elqueta start-
ed CPR on Garcia. Although the group had an emergency personal tracker device, Elqueta does not believe it was working. One woman that went looking for help came upon a campsite, but no one was there. She checked their vehicle, found the keys inside and drove to get cell service. The Northern Arizona Regional 911 Center in Flagstaff got that call around 4:20 p.m. The Coconino County Sheriff’s Office, U.S. Forest Service law enforcement, Blue Ridge, PineStrawberry and the Forest Lakes fire departments responded off FR 321, just north of Rim Road 300. This area is halfway between State Route 87 and Forest Lakes. It took some time to reach the group given the remote location, said P-S Fire Chief Gary Morris. While the group had attempted to resuscitate Garcia for some time, she was not breathing and died. Poochie was having trouble breathing and had burns on his body. It does not appear the lightning strike hit anyone directly, according to the CCSO.
Native Air and Guardian would not send a helicopter due to the weather, but the Department of Public Safety Ranger landed a helicopter just off the Rim after Forest Service crews used chain saws to clear a small landing zone. Poochie was flown to Flagstaff while three less critical patients, two males and one female, were taken to Payson Regional Medical Center. Elqueta said he thought he was fine, but his heart rhythm was abnormal so he was held overnight at the hospital. He was discharged Sunday. Elqueta said it was amazing how everyone worked so well together. “You get to see the best of people even in this horrible situation,” he said. One woman on the trip later wrote on the group’s MeetUp site, “The last 24 hours are pretty indescribable, but I can’t imagine a more amazing group of people to have shared something like that with. The way we worked together and did everything we could was really truly remarkable so thank you to all of you and I consider myself extremely lucky to have met all of you.”

Taking charge of our
by
Teresa McQuerrey
roundup staff reporter
So long as we are competent, as adults we are in charge of our health care. We choose what we do and don’t do for our health. The limitations come from how that care is paid for — the restrictions created by our insurance, whether it’s private coverage or Medicare and if our doctor accepts payments from either. Not all doctors accept all insurance and some will not accept Medicare or Arizona’s version of Medicaid, the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS). So, the first step in taking charge of our health is finding a primary care provider with whom we can work (who takes our insurance). Once we find a doctor, then we can make a plan for our health. Dr. Cynthia Booth, MD, FACOG, with Preferred Women’s Care, discussed setting health goals and well woman exams at the June 24 Lunch & Learn program at Senior Circle. SETTING HEALTH GOALS
Things to do: • Focus on one goal at a time, in other words, “Start small — Aim small, miss small” • Write down the goal • Be specific • Create a plan • Leave room for failure; persistence is key • Track your progress • Reward your success Things not to do: • Don’t have too many goals at one time
• Don’t say “SOME” (get some exercise) or “MORE” (eat more vegetables) or “LESS” (eat less carbs/fat/calories) — These all leave too much wiggle room for fudging, Booth said. • Don’t forget to write down that brownie you ate (or anything else you put in your mouth — even a breath mint) • Don’t expect perfection • Don’t beat yourself up over failure Booth suggested applying the “SMART” formula to goal setting for our health. “SMART” stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, TimeBased. Specific is “get in shape by walking,” not specific is “exercise.” Measurable is “walk for 30 minutes, 5 times a week (keep a journal),” not measurable is “walk often.” Attainable is “walk 1-1/2 miles in 30 minutes,” not attainable is “walk 5 miles in 30 minutes.” Realistic is “walk for 30 minutes every day,” not realistic is “walk for 2 hours every day”. Time-Based is “walk for 30 minutes, 5 times a week for a month,” not time-based is “walk 5 times a week until I feel fit.” Booth shared some basic guidelines for healthy living from a WebMD feature by Miranda Hitti based on information from Kathianne Sellers Williams, a nutritionist, wellness coach and personal trainer. HEALTHY LIVING
• Take Stock: Get appointments for your annual checkups (especially if you can’t remember when you last saw your doctor or dentist); check your own height and weight and calculate your BMI (body
mass index, there are lots of calculation tools for this online); be honest, how much activity do you get in a day; start keeping a food diary; pay attention to your mood and energy; think about the kind of interaction with others do you have on a daily basis. • Put out Health Fires: Work with your doctor to deal with any chronic conditions with which you have been diagnosed and start treating them properly. • Move More: Now that you know the amount of physical activity you get, make a plan to get more (there’s that goal setting thing again, the WebMD article’s author’s source recommends setting a weekly activity goal), make it fun, track it, make it part of your day. • Upgrade Your Diet: Make choices, not ultimatums; set yourself up for success and get rid of the temptations in your kitchen. • Manage Stress: This is difficult, but you need to find a coping mechanism to help you de-stress (deep breathing, meditation, a walk, uplifting music, just an old-fashioned day dream); diffuse the stress by asking “Will this matter to me a year from now?” suggests Williams. Keep a gratitude journal, noting all the positive people and events that touch your life each day. • Sleep better by eliminating the intrusive media two hours before bedtime; no heavy exercises before bed, light stretching is OK; take a hot bath, it’s relaxing and getting out of a hot bath, your body cools, which may help you sleep better; sleep on a Teresa McQuerrey/Roundup regular schedule. Dr. Cynthia Booth recently discussed setting • Improve your relationships. health goals at a Lunch & Learn program. • Challenge your mind.
Cool as a cucumber – or at least I tried to be Watching the Monster Mudder 5K for the first time in my life, I thought of cucumbers. Yep, cucumbers. The image came quickly to mind: Me immersed in a tub of volcanic ash and peat moss at Doc Wilkinson’s Calistoga Mud Spa in Napa, Calif. — with cucumbers on my eyes. No doubt, the slippery, slimy, bruised Mudder racers looked better than I did, hot mud in every nook and cranny — not to mention smeared on my cheeks. The final touch: green circles instead of eyes, like an escapee from the health spa zombie apocalypse. I felt faintly less foolish, however, after doing my cucumber research for this column. Numerous studies show that cucumbers have anti-inflammato-

ry and antioxidant properties that help the skin to reduce puffiness, draw out toxins and even avoid wrinkles and aging, according to an article published in the journal Filoterapia. Now, I can’t say the cucumber eyes made me feel wrinkle free — given the feel of the volcanic mud. However, the lemon and cucumber water they had me sip made me feel less like a zombie mutant. I gulped it down to keep from turning into the mud — and get that peat taste out of my mouth.

The memory’s so clear. But perhaps that’s because cucumbers not only reduce the risk of cancer — they can help prevent Alzheimer’s. Cucumbers contain lignans and cucurbitacins. Research published in the Scientific World Journal, shows cucurbitacins help block the signaling pathways critical to cancer growth and survival. The Journal of Cancer Research reported that cucurbitacins also subdue the growth of pancreatic cancer cells. A Journal of Nutrition study of 800 American women discovered the more lignans they ate, the lower their risk of ovarian cancer. Moreover, researchers writing in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute studied 1,000 post-menopausal women and found the more lignans they ate, the lower their risk of endometrial cancer. Then the Salk Institute for Biological Studies found that the flavonol fisetin in cucumbers (and strawberries and mangos) protects the brain against Alzheimer’s, dementia and age-related memory loss. I would have loved to read that research instead of simply surviving the 100-degree heat of the mucky mud. I could feel the heat seep into my bones. It would have helped to know that as I sipped the cucumber infused water, I also helped my bones. Cucumbers contain Vitamin K, which the body uses to build bones, especially for women. An American Journal of Clinical Nutrition study found a correlation between low bone density in women and low Vitamin K levels. Curiously, this didn’t seem to affect men until later in life. This must be the point at which they get less thickheaded. I remember now that feeling of panic stewing in the mud patch when I began to worry

the attendant had forgotten me. Fortunately, at just that moment she magically appeared and explained I was free to go — time served. Then I had real trouble. The mud acted like quicksand, sucking me into the depths of its heated murkiness. My heart raced. Guess what? Cucumbers also help hearts. Doc Wilkinson maybe knew that when he opened his mud baths — adding a dash of cucumber so mud-splattered penitents like me would not go into cardiac arrest when trapped in hot mud. Cucumbers have tons of potassium with fewer calories than bananas. The American Heart Association lists potassium as critical to heart health because it contributes to the widening of blood vessels thereby lowering blood pressure. Vitamin K also plays a critical role in blood clotting, according to the Harvard School of Public Health. I must admit, once I escaped the Dr. Wilkinson Calistoga Mud Bath Spa, I never looked back. I have resolutely avoided mud ever since. And yet ... and yet — watching the Mudder participants slither through the Arena of Terror, I felt a strange compulsion to run the Monster Mudder next year. But one thing’s for sure: I’m

The 4th of July is just days away and with it comes picnics, sports, parties and lots of outdoor fun. Unfortunately, there also comes with it bug bites, sunburns, dehydration, burns from fireworks and sometimes stomach problems from unsafe food serving practices. Following are some tips to avoid some of these things this 4th of July:
BUG BITES
Bugs (including mosquitoes, ticks, and some flies) can spread a number of diseases, many of which cannot be prevented with a vaccine. Reduce your risk by taking steps to prevent bug bites: • Use insect repellent — for protection against ticks and mosquitoes, use a repellent that contains 20 percent or more Deet for several hours of protection. • Always follow product directions and reapply as directed. If you are also using sunscreen, apply that first and the insect repellent second. • Consider using permethrin-treated clothing and gear (such as boots, pants, socks and tents). You can buy pre-treated clothing and gear or treat them yourself. If treating your clothing yourself, follow the instructions carefully and never use permethrin directly on skin. • Cover exposed skin by wearing long-sleeve shirts, pants and hats. • To prevent ticks, tuck in shirts, tuck pants into socks and wear closed shoes. Walk in the center of hiking trails, avoiding high grass and brush. SUNBURN AND DEHYDRATION
Too much sun exposure can really be harmful, especially to children. The sun’s burning rays can cause sunburn, skin cancer and eye damage. Follow these sun safety tips:
Weekly Calendar of Events
• Limit sun exposure between the hours of 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., when the sun’s rays are the strongest. Apply a broad spectrum sunscreen at least 20 minutes before going out in the sun and reapply regularly after swimming or sweating. • Use sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 15 or higher, even when it is cloudy. Note: Sunscreen should not be used on children under 6 months of age. • Stay in the shade, out of the hot sun as much as possible. • Dress in light-colored clothing to keep cool. Wear hats and UVA/UVB protective sunglasses to protect the face and eyes. • Serve water often; especially to kids as they often get too busy playing to ask for a drink. • Drink additional water in hot or humid weather to help lower body temperature and to replace what is lost through sweating. • Sip a beverage regularly to prevent dehydration and consume fruits and vegetables with high water content. • Thirst is an adequate daily guideline for most healthy people. But, during exercise, don’t wait for thirst to keep up with fluids. FOOD SAFETY
With so many fun things to do on a holiday weekend, nobody wants to get sick and have to sit out the festivities. Here are some things to do to prevent foodborne illness: • Always wash your hands with hot soapy water for at least 20 seconds before and after handling food. • Always thaw food in the refrigerator. Never defrost food at room temperature on the countertop. • Cook food to the proper internal temperature and check for doneness with a thermometer. • Keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold. Hot foods should be held at 140 degrees or warmer. On the buffet table, keep hot foods hot with chafing dishes, slow cookers and warming trays. Cold foods should be held at 40 degrees or colder. Keep foods cold by nesting dishes in bowls of ice. Otherwise, use small serving trays and replace them. • Refrigerate or freeze perish-

Sanitize cutting boards and counters with a diluted bleach solution — Add 2/3 cup bleach to a gallon of water; put in a spray bottle for easy use. • Never place food on the same plate or cutting board that previously held raw meat, poultry or seafood unless the cutting board has been thoroughly washed. • Store raw meat, poultry and seafood tightly wrapped on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. This prevents the raw juices from dripping on other food. • Always marinate food in the refrigerator, not on the countertop. Discard leftover marinades that have been used with raw meat, poultry or seafood. • Replace and wash dish towels and sponges often to prevent the spread of harmful bacteria throughout the kitchen.

PRMC announces new chest pain center accreditation by
Mindy Strickling
payson regional medical center
Building on its long-established reputation as a leader in cardiac care, Payson Regional Medical Center (PRMC) recently earned full Chest Pain Center accreditation from the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care (SCPC). This is a designation held by only approximately 20 percent of the hospitals in the United States. To receive accreditation, PRMC has demonstrated its expertise and commitment to quality patient care by meeting or exceeding a wide set of stringent criteria and completing on-site evaluations by a SCPC review team. “This is momentous not only for our hospital and patients, but the community as well,” said PRMC CEO Lance Porter. “It’s another step in our commitment to providing superior emergency and cardiac care to the residents of Payson and the outer lying areas. While the focus is on our emergency department, this accreditation is possible because of the work and commitment of a multi-disciplinary team that includes employees, physicians and Gila County EMS.” Chest pain is among the top symptoms of patients who visit the PRMC Emergency Department (ED). This designation means
that any patient who comes to the hospital experiencing chest pain can be confident he or she is receiving care that meets or exceeds the highest national standards of care. Positive patient outcomes depend on timely intervention, diagnosis and treatment. Cardiologists, emergency department physicians and patient care staff at the PRMC Accredited Chest Pain Center consistently demonstrate expertise in streamlined diagnosis and treatment, integration with paramedics/ EMS, community education and other key factors that ensure better outcomes for patients. The investment in establishing an Accredited Chest Pain Center demonstrates PRMC’s ongoing commitment to providing superior team-centered cardiac care. “Quick response, diagnosis and treatment save lives and heart muscle,” says cardiologist Toby Paulson, D.O., medical director of the new PRMC Accredited Chest Pain Center. “Our skilled team of cardiologists, ED physicians and nurses, integration with paramedics/EMS, advanced technology and exceptional response time in cardiac emergencies will give patients the best chance of survival and recovery.” “Care for chest pain patients starts long before they arrive at the hospital emergency room,” said Mike Ward, R.N., base station coordinator representing ser-
vice EMT, paramedics and ED for the service on process improvements at service level. “We work closely with the EMS and ED service specialists who were intricately involved with the hospital’s accreditation and specialized cardiac care that ultimately benefits our patients.” The SCPC is a nonprofit international society that promotes protocol-based medicine and the adoption of process improvement science by health care providers to address heart attacks and acute heart failure. In June 2015, SCPC granted the PRMC a full three-year accreditation. PRMC is a 44-bed acute care hospital serving Payson and the communities along the Rim Country. In 2014, PRMC was recognized for the third year by the Joint Commission as a Top Performer on Key Quality Measures. PRMC is committed to providing quality, patient-centered care to Rim Country residents. Comprehensive services include inpatient and outpatient care, a birthing center, diagnostic imaging, emergency medical and surgical care.

Forest Service gears up for another trashy weekend Volunteers set to remind visitors to Pack It Out by
Michele Nelson
roundup staff reporter
The Forest Service and its volunteers learned a lot from the Memorial Day Pack It Out program — they need much bigger dumpsters. “We had more trash than we expected,” said Chelsea Muise, Forest Service recreation officer. But the Forest Service also learned contacting campers with a flier, trash bag and information about the program helped the most. She and the dozen volunteers who met after Memorial Day to discuss the results of the first rollout of the program praised its success. At the same time, they were glad the rollout happened during a holiday weekend with sketchy weather. “We need bigger dumpsters,” said Muise. Enter Carl’s Jr. The fast food restaurant is the first business in Payson to financially support the program that makes the whole community look better. “Carl’s Jr. has stepped up and has agreed to be our first business participant in the Pack It Out program,” said Muise in an email. “They will be paying

Volunteers who help clean up the forest are often shocked by what they find. As part of its Pack It Out program, the Forest Service has staff and volunteers visiting campgrounds over the holiday weekend to encourage visitors to dispose of their trash properly. for and staffing a dumpster at their location at the junction of Highway 260 and Highway 87. We thank them for their support of the program.” The Forest Service will station the other two dumpsters at the same locations they did during the Memorial Day holiday — at the north end of Payson in The Home Depot parking lot and at the Event Center (Rodeo Grounds) to the south.
Muise and the volunteers reported the dumpster at the south end of town did not capture as much traffic because once people got through the 260/87 turn to head down to Phoenix, they had no desire to stop. As a result, efforts were made to find a location off the 260 for dumpster, but Muise said those were unsuccessful. “We were unable to work out an agreement in time for this holiday (July
4th) weekend with our business contact on Highway 260 so the Forest Service manned dumpsters will be in the same locations as Memorial Day (hopefully we will have everything work out with the new contact by Labor Day),” she wrote. Muise hopes to expand the contact Forest Service staff and volunteers makes with campers. Last time, she said they missed the See Canyon area and the campsite area looked like a trash bomb
went off. “We will be patrolling and handing out information packets Friday and Saturday. We will try to hit all known dispersed camping areas but focus will be mainly on river corridors and waterways where the majority of our camping takes place,” she said. Muise said she hopes Rim Country residents resist the urge to dump off household trash. If they decide to risk it, they face a fine and possible jail time. Some trash infractions result in a $5,000 fine and/or six months in jail. “We will be taking license plate numbers and sending tickets,” said Muise. During non-holiday times, Muise said the majority of trash in the forest comes from local residents. Many dump construction and remodel trash in the forest causing harm to visitors and increasing the fire danger. For the hours the dumpsters will not be manned by Forest Service staff or volunteers, Muise said the Payson Police Department, Gila County Sheriff and Mounted Posse volunteers will be on hand to make sure inappropriate trash is not dumped. “We hope local residents will tell their friends who visit about the program, or if they are out in the forest with their friends, will help them to pack it out,” she said. Muise and her volunteer staff will be on hand to help campers dump their trash from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, July 4 and Sunday, July 5.
Feds talk about wildfire readiness, chances for ‘catastrophic’ fire by
Jamie Cochran
cronkite news
WASHINGTON – Federal officials said Tuesday they will be “ready when fire strikes,” but raised concerns over funding for the upcoming wildfire season and the growing threat of catastrophic wildfires in the drought-stricken West. In a conference call, the secretaries of Interior and Agriculture and the chief of the U.S. Forest Service said the season is off to a relatively slow start, but that they eventually expect it to be an
above-average year for fires in many states. Parts of the country that are at risk include “southern Arizona, and, of course, California, just like it was last year, and it’s going to continue,” said Tom Tidwell, chief of the Forest Service. That slow start has been the case in Arizona — where officials also cautioned they do not expect the situation to remain that way. An unusually rainy period had delayed the start of the season in Arizona which is “below normal” so far, said Carrie Dennett, state fire prevention officer for the
Arizona State Forestry Division. “In June, we would expect to see larger fires, more frequent fires, but because of the rain coming in periodically, it’s kind of tempered or delayed our fire season,” Dennett said. “So we’re not seeing fires grow as big.” There are several fires currently burning in Arizona, the largest of which is the Guadalupe Fire east of Douglas. That fire, which was started June 2 by a lightning strike, had burned about 5,900 acres by June 9, when it was 50 percent contained, according to
fire officials. Should the fire season heat up, federal officials said they are better prepared now than they have been in the past. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said the government enters this wildfire season with 21 fixed-wing large air tankers, compared to the 11 that were available a few years ago, and 100 helicopters ready to be put into action. The Forest Service will employ more than 10,000 firefighters during this fire season. Vilsack credited Congress for
$10 OFF
the improvements in firefighting equipment, but he and the others on Tuesday’s conference call said funding remains a long-term concern. “Last year we exceeded our appropriated fire suppression funds by $240 million,” Tidwell said. “And, once again, we are lined up to probably have to deal with that again.” Besides more funding, the officials called for more flexibility in how wildfire funds are budgeted, to include a focus on prevention. That call was echoed Tuesday by Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, (D-Flagstaff). “Prevention is the best investment because it reduces not only the cost of fighting catastrophic wildfires, but the cost of rehabilitating regions after they are devastated by these fires,” she said in statement released by her office. “Most important, prevention saves lives.” Vilsack said federal officials
will “continue to work collaboratively with local and state governments and other organizations to build the awareness of the need for individual homeowners and communities to be fire-ready.” Interior Secretary Sally Jewell said homeowners and private citizens also need to be involved in preventing fires. “We all have a role to play here,” Jewell said. “We need help from homeowners and local communities to better protect themselves from wildfires throughout before the fires begin.” She said that neighbors helping each other clear brush and trees from around their homes will “lessen the risk to communities and firefighters when they respond.” Dennett said that, despite a slow start to the wildfire season, it is not time to relax. “As always, everybody needs to be careful with fire when they are out in the woods,” she said.

Storm blasts Roosevelt From page 1A shore. At the Cholla boat ramp, the middle section of the dock detached, and was reportedly thrown into the air and landed upside down on top of a boat. Gas was leaking from other damaged boats. “It was just devastating,” Holt said. “Stuff was scattered everywhere.” Holt said he heard reports that an RV had flipped, but because firefighters were so busy, they never made it over to confirm what had happened. Holt said it appeared a micro burst had hit the lake with severe winds ripping across the water. Dorsett said they got as many boats out of the water and secure as they could before it got dark,
and then had to call it a night. On Sunday morning, they went back out and removed boats that had washed up on shore or were marooned on rocks. At least five boats were badly damaged. “At least two boats were literally 6-10 feet from the water line the waves were so high they washed them high and dry,” Dorsett said. The U.S. Weather Service predicts clearing skies with highs in the mid 90s in Payson on Tuesday and Wednesday, but another storm on Thursday. The forecast calls for cloudy skies and highs in the low 90s over the weekend. However, as Saturday’s storm demonstrated, it’s hard to predict what will happen once the monsoon sets in.

A violent storm this weekend stirred up waves so big they beached boats and overturned a dock at Roosevelt Lake.

Edmund (Ed) Paul Guerber, 92, was united with his Lord on Friday, June 26, 2015. He was born in Blue Earth County, Minn. to Mark Claude and Mary Blanche Guerber on Jan. 28, 1923. Edmund served as a priest in the Diocese of Winona, Minn. for some 20 years before leaving the priesthood and moving to Arizona in 1969. There he married Mary Anne, his wife of 46 years. In Arizona, he began a second career as an accountant at U-Haul Co. in Phoenix. He was an avid reader, finding his greatest pleasure in books that fed his hunger for spiritual growth and
personal integrity. He was beloved by all who knew him. Ed is survived by his wife, Mary Anne, nee Mehsikomer; his youngest sister, Lorraine Allen of California; his sons, Paul and Mark; and nine grandchildren: Brendi, Dustin, Jacob, Melody, Grace, Garet, Zack, Aiden and Claire. Our greatest tribute will be to learn from his example. Funeral service is 11 a.m., Friday, July 3, at St Paul’s Episcopal Church in Payson. Mass will be said by Father Dan Tantimonaco. Cremains will be placed in St Paul’s column barium following service.
As I am writing this, so far the monsoon season has not yet begun in Rim Country. If you have not checked your rain gutters and downspouts recently, there may still be time before the almost daily storms start. We had ours cleaned last week and I was amazed at the amount of debris that had collected. We’re ready — bring on the rain! Think about it: If at first you don’t succeed, you still have two choices: try again, or better yet, read the directions.
Amalia “Lia” Livelli (1925-2015)
Lia Livelli passed away on June 22, 2015, at the age of 89. Lia was born Amalia Guerrera in New Jersey, and raised four children there with her husband, Dominick Livelli, until they moved to Phoenix, Ariz. in 1976, in search of better weather. When in school during World War II, Lia loved to play tennis, sports, and enjoyed lakeside boating. She was an accomplished artist, oil painter and dabbled in sculpting as well. She went on to get an associate of arts college degree, when well into her 50s. The thing she enjoyed most was cooking; her mother passed down to her many recipes. She cooked for family and friends until very recently. When Lia and Dom moved to Payson in 1989 to retire, they were happy together for a number of years. After Dom passed away in 1993 in an accident in which Lia almost died, she recovered enough to have many interests. These included jigsaw puzzles, volunteering for bingo at the Senior Center, and playing the Literati word game online, and of course
cooking. She also spent many hours video-chatting with family. She had a few special people in her life during her later years, and a small group of friends. Lia was a little tiny person with a very big heart, and beautiful spirit. She was always smiling, with a very positive attitude. As she faced health challenges much later in life, she was a real trooper, and was so good while in care. Her family is very proud of her. An example is her telling jokes to the ER staff at the hospital recently, and getting everyone laughing. She loved everybody, and was such a character in her little circle, and will be greatly missed. She is survived by her sons, Ted, Christopher and Gregg; daughter, Teresa; her sister, Sandra Laessig; brother, Richard Guerrera; and three grandchildren. A celebration of Lia’s life will be held at 1 p.m., Tuesday, June 30 at the Community Presbyterian Church, 800 W. Main St., Payson. Lia’s wishes were for no black, and instead of any gifts of flowers, a donation to Hospice should be made.

Rescuers have busy weekend helping hikers TRSAR spends 7 hours pulling injured man from Box Canyon by
Alexis Bechman
roundup staff reporter
It took rescuers more than seven hours to pull a man out of Box Canyon Saturday, after he fell and injured his ankles some 400 feet below the canyon lip. The Valley man was hiking along the bottom of the rugged canyon east of Payson off State Route 260 with his son and several friends when he slipped and fell near the last pool, said Bill Pitterle, commander with Tonto Rim Search and Rescue. Several years ago, TRSAR was pulling three or four people annually out of the canyon, which is below the R Bar C Ranch. When the Arizona Department of Transportation expanded the highway to four lanes, however, the work destroyed the parking area to the canyon and the number of people going into the canyon dropped dramatically. This was the first call for a rescue to the canyon in some years. In the meantime, the path to the canyon has become overgrown. Some 10 TRSAR volunteers responded, some scrambling down to the man, who could not walk out. It appeared one of his ankles was broken and the other badly sprained.

These file photos of a previous rescue from Box Canyon show the treacherous conditions TRSAR members faced on Saturday when they rescued a Valley hiker who fell and injured his ankles some 400 feet below the canyon lip. With Christopher-Kohl’s Fire District running command, other TRSAR volunteers set up a pulley system to haul the man out, lowering a 600-ft. rope down the 400-ft. vertical cliff. As crews worked, two thunderstorms
passed overhead, creating very slick conditions, Pitterle said. It took crews seven hours to set up and pull the man up on a litter. “It was quite a rise to pull him up and over,” he said.
Sheriff’s deputy distributes water to ill-prepared hikers on Fossil Creek Trail by
Alexis Bechman
roundup staff reporter
Gila County officials say more than 30 people were without enough water on Fossil Creek Trail this weekend and one deputy handed out four cases of water to hikers. Sgt. Rodney Cronk with the GCSO got word around 2 p.m. Friday that several people in a group of four were dehydrated and could not hike out. Cronk caught up with the group three miles down the steep, four-mile trail outside of Strawberry. The GCSO has stashed several cases of water along the trail given the high number of people ill-prepared for both the length and strenuousness of the trail, which leads to several travertine pools. Cronk helped the hikers out by distributing water and checking on other hikers as he passed.
Dozens of cars are parked at the Fossil Creek Trailhead each weekend as occupants make their way down to the travertine pools at the bottom of the steep, four-mile trail. When it’s time to hike back out, many become dehydrated and need help.
“They all said the same thing, ‘We did not realize we would need that much water,’” he said. Cronk advises carrying no less than one gallon of water for each person. Groups often carry a gallon, but then divvy it up. In all, Cronk handed out water to 35 people. No major injuries were reported. On Saturday, he was back out on the trail, this time for a couple that missed the path out and got lost. The couple’s screams eventually got the attention of some campers who got them back to the trail. Cronk then helped them hike out. Cronk said he is limiting when he calls on Tonto Rim Search and Rescue and the Gila County Mounted Posse volunteer search groups for help because he wants to discourage hikers from thinking they will get a horse ride out. Cronk returned to Fossil Creek Trail Monday to assist overheated and dehydrated hikers. Between 2:30 p.m. and 5 p.m., he handed out water to 33 people.

Payson hosts Little League All-Star Tournaments by
Keith Morris
roundup sports editor
The stars will shine in Payson for the next couple of weeks beginning on Wednesday. Little League All-Star Tournaments are now underway across the state, including here. The best players around the state are competing for glory in district tournaments, with berths in state tournaments awaiting the winners. One of those state tournaments is right here in Payson. The Intermediate baseball double-elimination state tournament for 11-13-year-olds begins on Friday, July 10 and runs through July 16, with the possibility of a final game on July 17. “That’s a huge tournament,” said Payson Little League president Barbara Rasmussen. “We took it away from Nogales.” Rasmussen said nine districts have signed up so far and as many as 16 teams could participate, although some districts don’t field teams or may not choose to send one because of the expense. Payson’s All-Stars hope to compete in the state tournament by winning a best-of-three District 1 Tournament against Eagar Round Valley beginning at 6 p.m. Wednesday at Rumsey Park Field 2. Game 2 is scheduled for 6 p.m. Thursday, with Game 3 at 6 p.m. Friday if necessary. Rasmussen expects the state tournament to provide a financial shot in the arm for area businesses. “We already had the Deer Valley team come up, reserve hotel rooms, visit Denny’s and check out the field,” she said. “That is going to be a really big tournament. We’ve got nine districts signed up so far.” And the 10-11 Baseball Area 1 and District 1 tournaments are set for Rumsey Park, as well, beginning Wednesday, July 1. Payson takes on Flagstaff Continental in the second game
of a doubleheader at 7 p.m., Wednesday. West Flagstaff plays Winslow in the first game at 4 p.m. Area tournament games continue through Friday, with two teams advancing to the district tournament, which begins Monday, July 6 in Payson. The 11-12 Baseball District 1 Tournament in Winslow was scheduled to begin today, but no more details were available at press time. In softball, Payson’s 9-10 All-Stars open District 1 double-elimination tournament play against Flagstaff at 1 p.m. today. A champion in that eight-team event will be crowned by July 8. Payson’s 11-12 Softball All-Stars went 1-1 in the Area 1 Tournament in Payson, splitting two games with Flagstaff, to advance to the District 1 Tournament, where they were eliminated with a 2-1 loss to host Silver Creek on Friday. Payson could have fielded another baseball team (9-10) and two more softball teams (10-11 and juniors) but didn’t have coaches. “We had enough players but we didn’t have any coaches,” Rasmussen said. “I feel bad for the kids. It’s very sad.” But for readers wondering how it’s possible that all these kids are denied the opportunity to compete, the president said it’s not easy finding coaches. “They have to pass a strict background check and they have to have been a coach on a roster during the regular season,” Rasmussen. Payson Little League fielded 16 baseball and five softball teams during the regular season this year and had coaches for all 21 teams. But not all of those coaches volunteered to coach all-stars.

“Would you mind repeating your finish,” a photographer asked Joel Delgado, explaining, “I didn’t get your picture.” That’s because the inflatable finish line arch had just fallen and volunteers had to scramble to stand it back up as Delgado approached the line. Running even a few more steps wasn’t at the top of his list of things to do after swimming 500 yards, riding a bicycle 14 miles and running 3.1 miles in the 10th Annual Payson Sprint Triathlon on June 20. But Delgado, who works for the U.S. Forest Service as an engine captain with Payson Ranger District, didn’t

That event, also Payson resident finished called a Half Ironman, is 16th among the men in a 70.3-mile race featuring the race in 1:28:13, more a 1.2-mile swim, 56-mile than four minutes faster bike ride and a 13.1-mile than his 1:32:26 time in run. Each segment is his first try in the event a half the distance of an year ago. Delgado placed Ironman triathlon. seventh in the men’s “I’m training for the 30-39 division.

With temperatures in the mid to upper 90s in Payson, he was glad the race started at 7 a.m. But that didn’t mean it was exactly cool. “It was hot,” he said. “Other than that, it was fun.” He credited his improvement in time in this year’s race to being quicker going from the swim to the bike and from the bike to the run. “My main focus was polishing up my transitions,” he said. His wife, Miranda, was right there to support him every step of the race. “She’s my biggest fan,” he said. Keith Morris/Roundup “We train together.” “I just bike and run with him,” Joel Delgado approaches the finish line in Miranda said. “I haven’t done one of Rumsey Park during the 10th Annual Payson these yet.

Little League All-Stars converge on Payson From page 1B “I don’t blame them,” Rasmussen said. “It’s a huge time commitment for them, especially when they don’t have a child on the team. It’s a challenge. It’s no easy task just putting an all-star team together. Parents have to make sure kids show up and families want to go on vacation, etc.” She said she hopes to avoid the same situation next year. “We hope we have more coaches next year,” Rasmussen said. “They can sign up next year and we’ll go from there. That part is simple.” Check out the Little League All-Stars Scoreboard, which is updated daily, on our website at www.paysonroundup.com and pick up the paper for photos and stories throughout the tournaments.
