117th Fossil Creek rescue since May
Small town, big crowd by
by
A Valley woman remarkably walked away unscathed Monday after she found herself trapped in a Fossil Creek whirlpool for hours. The Monday rescue capped a long weekend of treks down into the 1,500-deep canyon to save poorly prepared swimmers and hikers. The 18-year-old woman from Maricopa County was swimming with friends when she fell into a pool of water below the old dam, about 500 yards downstream from the head of Fossil Springs. A similar rescue took place in the exact spot in 2011 when a 22-year-old woman got stuck in the bowl and was too afraid to go through an underwater arch that leads back into the main stream. Sgt. Rodney Cronk with the Gila County Sheriff’s Office said it appeared the 18-year-old also panicked and could not get out. Friends could not climb down

Much ado about curriculum, texts by
Michele Nelson
roundup staff reporter
Three years ago, the Payson Unified School District adopted Beyond Textbooks. It’s been tumultuous since. Negative comments have come from all sides — teachers, parents and board members — even the community. Naysayers complain it’s too confusing and does not allow for creativity in teaching. Even worse, some have accused the district of violating the law regarding curriculum in adopting the online service. At the June 8 board meeting, Darlene Younker, former school board candidate, said PUSD had violated A.R.S. 15721.1 the law that has to do with school districts adopting curriculum. “Beyond Textbooks is a copyrighted material that cannot be accessed by the public, parents or board members,” said Younker. “If you have not made it available, you have violated the statute.” Yet BT is no curriculum.

and pull the woman out. After 30 minutes, an off-duty firefighter arrived with a rope and held on to one end while she held on to the other, preventing her from going under. A Department of Public Safety Ranger helicopter flew Cronk and Bill Pitterle, Tonto Rim Search and Rescue commander, in from the trailhead. The men then pulled the woman out to safety. The Ranger flew the woman to the trailhead where she refused medical treatment. Cronk worried the woman may be suffering from hypothermia after floating in the water for one-and-a-half hours, but she appeared fine. This is the 117th person local officials have helped at Fossil Creek since May 1. The area exploded in popularity this summer — especially among ill-prepared hikers. Rescuers made several trips down the Fossil Creek trail and road, both on Tuesday and

It was everything a cozy hometown celebration of the nation’s independence should be, but with 16,000 of your closest friends. Activities included potato sack races, tug of war games and a breathtaking fireworks show shimmering over the lake. The event came off without a single hiccup, fulfilling the fondest hopes of the organizers of Payson’s Fourth of July celebration. A record crowd of 16,000 people poured into Green Valley Park Saturday, setting up camp chairs and fleece blankets on the grass for one of the state’s best fireworks shows, said Cameron Davis, tourism director. This year, that show started on time and with no interruptions. Last year, rain delayed the fireworks by more than an hour, sending some firework goers trudging home disappointed. To avoid any confusion this year, town officials pushed the local text messaging notification system known as Nixle. In the past month, more than 500 people have signed up for the service, said Police Chief Don Engler. But the skies cleared and the show started right on time. Still, the fire department sent out a message letting people know things were running on time. Many took advantage of the day’s festivities, which kicked off in the morning with foot races, bounce houses, a dunk tank, slides and food vendors. During the foot races, Davis said he had the children raise their hands if they were from the Valley and then if they were local. In many of the heats, all of the children were from the Valley. Davis said they usually have about 600 people participate in the carnival games, but this year 1,200 participants showed up. “There were more people than I have ever seen,” he said of the crowds. During the tug of war games, locals were pitted against Valley residents. The “Phoenixians” took the women’s and children’s matches, but for the seventh straight year, the local men’s team won. Keeping everyone entertained for hours was the Mesa-based Take Cover band, which played more than 70 songs. Local hotels reported complete occupancy and many restaurants stayed busy as well. Pizza Factory had a line out the door when it opened. Tom Plets with Dimi Espresso said he watched a steady stream of traffic pass his shop on south Beeline Highway and even witnessed a few fender benders. “In terms of economic impact, the show was huge, Davis said. “We had a monster event.” Despite the heavy crowds, police reported no major incidents in the park or on the roadways. Officers reunited six lost children with their parents, dealt with a minor disturbance over a parking space and arrested one person

A tragic event has spawned a small, happy footnote. Tonto, the chihuahua who ran away from his owner during a monsoon storm that ended up killing one person in a group of hikers, has been found. The dog fled into the forest June 27 half an hour before lightning struck near the backpacking group on the East Cabin Loop Trail, killing one woman from Florida and injuring several other people from the Valley. The group started the hike near the Pinchot Cabin and was approximately seven miles in when Tonto ran off. On June 28, a couple spotted the dog on Forest 9734P, about 1.5 miles in off Forest Road 139, but Tonto ran away scared. Tammy Bedard, a friend of Tonto’s owner and among those in the hiking group, put up fliers around the Mogollon Rim, notified the Forest Service, and put up posts on Facebook. Those efforts paid off when a sightseeing couple, which had seen one of those fliers, spotted the male deer head chihuahua running off Forest Road 300 last week. The man whistled for the dog and Tonto came running. Besides a few scratches on his belly and being dirty and tired, Tonto was otherwise unscathed. “We are just thrilled to get him back,” said Bedard.

A “Heroes Parade” kicked off the “Every Hero has a Story” summer reading program July 1 at the Isabelle Hunt Memorial Library in Pine. The parade began at the south end ramada near the Pine Strawberry track and featured reading students dressed in their favorite hero costume. The event also honored current and former servicemen and women. The local library’s “Hero” reading series for youth continues through July, with sessions from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on July 8, 15, 22 and 29. Children can sign up prior to each session. The series is free thanks in part to grants the library received last fall from the Phoenix Suns and Arizona Cardinals. The local program is part of “Read on Arizona,” which has a mantra, “When Arizona Reads, Arizona Thrives.”
Fossil Creek rescues fast & furious From page 1A
Thursday to help dehydrated and injured recreationists. On Tuesday, Tonto Rim Search and Rescue carried a woman out after she jumped from the lower waterfall and injured her ankle. Cronk then made several trips down the trail Thursday, helping several groups hike out. In the first group, a mother, a 16-year-old
teen and three 8-year-olds ran out of water and called for help. Cronk delivered water and started walking out with them. But as he set out, Pine-Strawberry Fire Chief Gary Morris, who just happened to be hiking the trail, called him and told him to hike back down because there were several more people without water. Cronk found a group of four near the bottom of the trail and got them to walk up and connect with the other group. He then escorted them all out to the trailhead.
Morris also helped a group of hikers that had run out of water. This time it was a group of four men who had a 3-year-old. Morris said he had never seen anyone take such a young child down the steep, challenging trail, which drops about 1,500 feet in four miles. Elsewhere, Cronk assisted on a rescue Saturday north of the Bonita Creek subdivision. A 29-year-old woman was thrown from a horse. She was carried out a quarter of a mile and airlifted to a Valley hospital.
School officials explain textbook tools From page 1A Instead, the board learned at its retreat that Beyond Textbooks really is a service designed to replace the old teacher lesson plan or curriculum map (now called a calendar). Director of Student Achievement Brenda Case acted as emcee for the presentation. “The Beyond Textbooks (BT) website is a teacher tool,” said Case. “It is used to plan instruction based on state standards.” Case said for every level of study from elementary school to high school, the state requires teachers to teach a set number of skills in a set number of days. “All the (second-grade) teachers know that these standards must be taught to second-grade kids in 180 days,” she said. Teachers still decide how to deliver the lesson, said Case. “The ‘how’ has always been up to the teacher,” said Case. “It is a measure of creativity. (Education) is as much an art as science.” Then Case pulled up the online tool and walked through it with the board. Case explained how BT allows a teacher to sit down and study the state standards and timeline. As Case dug deeper into the calendar tool, she showed how teachers from the 101 school districts that subscribe to the online tool upload a suggestion on reaching a subject. Teachers can access YouTube videos; online services such as the Khan Academy that helps students understand math, or worksheets created by other teachers. “Once I see I need to teach this in a week ... I click this and I will see 101 ideas from teachers around the state to teach that,” she said.
Superintendent Greg Wyman jumped in to explain how a teacher prepares for the week. “It’s Sunday night and I now I have to plan for Monday through Thursday,” he said. “I know I’m supposed to do all these standards this week. But where do I start? Where do I go? Here’s an idea here’s how long it will take ... my brain starts flipping. How am I going to do that at the beginning of the week? What am I going to cover next week, then?” Case said once the teacher teaches the lesson plan based on the state standards and timeline, BT has a set of short quizzes to give students to make sure they got it. These tests bother some of the critics. They want access to these assessment tests/ quizzes, but Case explained that even when schools only used textbooks, teachers would not allow parents access to their tests. “You don’t give every parent an answer book,” said Jim Quinlan, board member and a former PHS teacher. Case explained that the assessment quizzes show teachers which students got it and which didn’t. “There are going to be kids who already passed this test and had to move on,” she said. Others will not understand the lesson, she said. To help those who struggle, Case said the quizzes allow the teacher to stop and create a breakout group to approach the lesson from another angle. At the same time, those who understand the concept spend time on enrichment material such as reading a favorite book or playing with the concept in another form. “We have to meet the needs of every child,” said Case. The greatest benefit to school districts?
The ease with which new standards, new timetables or suggested lesson plans can be added or changed. Case said 10 years ago, when the Vail School District created BT, Common Core didn’t even exist. As Common Core, or the Arizona Career and College Ready Standards, came into effect, BT evolved right along with all the changes. Wyman compared the pace of change of BT with textbooks. “If I buy a history textbook, it is seven years out of date (by the time I get it),” he said. He reminded everyone that the rate of change for technological software and hardware updates occurs every 18 months. Younker admitted by the end of the presentation that BT was a good tool. She had believed the district had simply stopped using textbooks after a conversation she had with the principal of RCMS. “‘We do not use textbooks,’ That’s what I was told by the man who was principal,” she said. Both Case and Wyman assured Younker that students still use textbooks, just not all the time given the number of other tools available. Case said anyone may call the PUSD district office to set up an appointment with her to walk through the online program. Moreover, everyone agreed parents should contact teachers directly if they need help understanding the lessons and how they can best help at home. “Communication with the teacher is the very best way to help your child,” said Case.

Teachers need some new tools
• July 5, 1916: Adelina and August Van Buren started on the first successful transcontinental motorcycle tour to be attempted by two women. They started in New York City and arrived in San Diego, Calif. on Sept. 12, 1916. • July 7, 1930: Construction of the Hoover Dam begins. Over the next five years, 21,000 men would work to produce what would be the largest dam of its time, as well as one of the world’s largest manmade structures. • July 6, 1946: FBI agents arrest George “Bugs” Moran in Kentucky. Once one of the top organized crime figures in America, Moran had been reduced to small bank robberies. His criminal career took an abrupt downturn after the infamous St. Valentine’s Day Massacre in 1929. • July 8, 1951: Paris celebrates its 2,000th birthday. The history of Paris can be traced back to a Gallic tribe known as the Parisii, who settled an island (known today as Ile de la Cite) in the Seine River, which runs through present-day Paris.
Take a breath, everyone. Then have a nice, quiet conversation with your child’s teacher — before you rush to man the ramparts against the thought police. Lots of people have been raising the rabble against the dreaded Common Core — and the specter of a federal takeover of local schools. The issue’s got lots of folks in an uproar — especially in Arizona. So we were reassured to hear the presentation at a recent Payson School Board Retreat on the district’s use of Beyond Textbooks, one tool to help teachers adjust their schedules and lesson plans to the demands of the state-adopted, nationally developed Arizona College and Career Readiness standards. These nationally calibrated, grade-by-grade standards grew out of the original Common Core standards, developed by teachers, consultants and the National Association of Governors — then embraced by the Federal Department of Education. The Payson School District in turn adopted the Beyond Textbooks program developed by the Vail School District in Tucson to help teachers adjust their lesson plans to the new, detailed standards. Some alarmed parents got caught up in a lot of Internet exaggeration about Common Core in general and Beyond Textbooks in particular. They became convinced that the district had abandoned textbooks to hide the imposition of some sinister curriculum from the parents. Not true at all. In an age when the Internet has dramatically increased the speed of change, the district has merely sought a more flexible system to help teachers keep up with the state standards. In the end, this will hopefully not only increase the emphasis on critical thinking skills — it will help parents in Arizona make sure our schools measure up nationally. It should come as no surprise that such a massive undertaking has spawned some confusion and false starts. For instance, the poor performance of U.S. students on math tests should alarm every parent. The United States has reaped enormous economic benefits from its dominance in math and science. But now a recent international survey of 65 advanced nations found the U.S. ranks 30th in math and 23rd in science. Clearly, the U.S. method of teaching math isn’t working as well as it should. So the national standards include changes in math instruction. Alas, the states haven’t provide the money to train teachers in the new methods, much less help parents keep up so they can help out on the homework front. That has generated some of the alarm and confusion. Of course, we have long expressed concerns about putting so much emphasis on standardized testing that you crush the spirit of students and teachers. Clearly, we must leave room for the creativity of teachers and the learning style of children. But tools like Beyond Textbooks help do precisely that. They give teachers the tools they need to adapt their lesson plans to the standards. That’s the only way we can ensure our kids can compete nationally — and won’t find themselves far behind if they move to a different school district. We applaud the district’s diligent effort to communicate with parents — and patiently respond to the critics. So relax, everyone. Give the people who have devoted their lives to our children time to get it all worked out.
Fire crisis smolders The Hellsgate Fire Department faces another rough budget year. Only the renewal of a federal grant will prevent crippling layoffs in the ranks of the fire department that protects Star Valley, Tonto Village, Christopher Creek and other small communities. Hellsgate also provides crucial backup for Payson and other fire departments in the region. If you go to a major fire scene anywhere in Rim Country, take note of the many different departments represented. As Benjamin Franklin once observed, “We must hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately.” But Hellsgate has pushed its property tax rate to the legally allowed limit. It has trimmed its force and relies heavily on low-cost volunteer firefighters. Yet still costs outrun the rise in assessed values, putting the department in an inexorable financial squeeze. Next door, Payson spends far more on its fire department — mostly because it can rely on sales tax revenue, much of it paid by out-of-town visitors. The Hellsgate crisis is one side effect of Star Valley’s decision to offer only minimal public services — and not develop commercial businesses or seek a sales tax. The Hellsgate budget crisis once more underscores the need to bind together the scattered fire departments of Rim Country. If we don’t, when that next big fire comes roaring toward town — we shall all hang together.

We need a highway bypass Editor: The failure to do anything to control the dangerous traffic on the highway going through Payson endangers residents and the economy. We need crosswalks put in at every intersection. And I want drivers to know that they’re supposed to stop for pedestrians. Pedestrians have the right of way at intersections, no if, ands or buts about it. Instead, in Payson it is run for your life — and if you’re crippled, crawl for your life. I was helping a friend with a cane across the street because she was terrified, since she’d already been hit once by a car. The cars were not stopping for her. I said, “maybe they’ll hit one person — but they won’t hit two people.” Or will they? Why should I be terrified to go across the street? I shouldn’t have to be terrified for that. The solution, basically, is to reroute the highway. For some reason, the good old boys in this town think the bypass would mean a loss of business. But people cannot get from here to there in Payson, the way it is. Even cars have a hard time crossing the Beeline Highway. There’s too much traffic and it’s just very difficult. Payson is already suffering a loss of business because it’s very hard to get to businesses the way it is. It’s tourist unfriendly and business unfriendly. It’s destructive to the economy of Payson. Even though they say the bypass is destructive to the economy of Payson, it’s the status quo that’s truly destructive. As a taxpayer and a longtime citizen, I would like them to listen to a lot of people who can’t put up with this traffic anymore. Dwight Goss
Common Core Standards are inferior and age-inappropriate
Editor: Those who have pushed back the curtain on Common Core (renamed Arizona’s College and Career Ready Standards by former Gov. Jan Brewer) know they are inferior. They know they are also age-inappropriate for young children. Common Core is supposed to be more “rigorous.” However, it won’t prepare students for admission to much of anything except a junior college and won’t prepare them for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) studies either. This was confirmed by lead math writer Jason Zimba.
Because Common Core introduces higher-level standards at earlier ages, these younger children struggle because the strategies and lessons aren’t understandable to them. It isn’t that the standards simply require more work. It’s that the standards themselves are inappropriate. So, teachers must spend an excessive amount of time trying to teach abstract concepts that children aren’t capable of mastering, thus crowding out grade-level, appropriate materials that would truly advance the child’s progress. What happens is that teachers are going to see typically developing children as delayed or behind. This will lead to students being held back or tracked into remedial classes that they don’t really need. This also negatively affects teacher evaluations, and unfairly so. The National Governors Association and Writing Group were warned to suspend the standards for K-3 by over 300 professionals with the Alliance for Childhood after the first public draft was published in March 2010. Dr. Carla Horwitz of the Yale Child Study Center stated, “The Core Standards will cause suffering, not learning, for many, many young children.” And they have. Anita Christy
Remember their sacrifice Editor: When we see our current legislators taking so much for granted and selling us out so they can be re-elected we need to remember what the brave men who made the move to make us free sacrificed to do so. It sickens me to see how the privilege of living in this country is so taken for granted and how the privilege of accepting the trust of the American people’s votes is so quickly turned into a sell preservation of positive for our legislators that they will well sell us down the river in the guise of “the greater good” when that couldn’t be further from their minds. Bring any one of those signatures back today and they surely would be disgusted by the devious and elite society that is our legislators and our president. The Founding Fathers made senators not directly elected by the people for a very good reason. We need to repeal the 17th Amendment and put the “greater good” back into the Senate the way it was intended. The 4th of July! Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence? Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War. They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well educated, but they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured. Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay

his debts, and died in rags. Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him. And poverty was his reward. Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton. At the Battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt. Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months. John Hart was driven from his wife’s bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. So take a few minutes and silently thank these patriots. It’s not much to ask for the price they paid. Happy 4th everyone! God bless America, she can sure use it! Remember: freedom is never free! Carol McCauley
Absolute power corrupts absolutely Editor: The recent Supreme Court decision to uphold Arizona’s Independent Redistricting Commission is indeed good news for our state. Why? Because, both of our United States senators are Republicans, five out of our nine congressional seats are owned by Republicans, the governor’s office, attorney general, secretary of state, superintendent of public instruction are all Republicans, and to boot, there’s a majority of GOP members in both our state Senate and House. Plus, all three of our Rim Country legislators are Republicans. This is a lack of political diversification of colossal proportions! To say that the GOP has a monopoly on politics in Arizona would be a gross understatement. So, in addition to controlling almost all politics and politicians in our state, the Republicans also wanted to abolish the Independent Redistricting Commission so they could draw the congressional districts to make them more favorable to GOP candidates. What hubris! We need to elect a state Senate that is controlled by Democrats to restore some checks and balances to our Arizona political landscape. After all, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Hellsgate needs grant to avoid layoffs Alexis Bechman
and I love sharing it with others. Let my knowledge, experience and integrity put the silver lining on your Rim Country real estate transaction.
roundup staff reporter
The Hellsgate Fire Department faces another precarious budget year. Chief Dave Bathke’s just finished preliminary budget shows a department stretched thin, with the property tax rate already at its maximum and expenses still rising. The only way the department will avoid layoffs is if a hoped-for, $1.6 million federal grant comes through. The department in 2012 won a $607,000 federal Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grant, which saved the jobs of four firefighters qualified to drive the trucks but also covered the cost of hiring Bathke as a battalion chief. Since then Fire Chief Gary Hatch has retired and Bathke has taken over as chief. Recently, Bathke sent out layoff notices to several firefighters, letting them know they could lose their jobs if the district doesn’t get another, two-year extension of the SAFER grant. If the district gets the federal money again, Bathke would like to hire a replacement battalion chief and fill an engineer position. Without the SAFER grant, the department faces a 7 percent increase in expenditures and a 6 percent increase in revenue. The district will keep the assessed property tax rate at the state maximum of $3.25 per $100 assessed value. This is the fourth year Hellsgate has assessed the maximum rate. “We have no choice,” Bathke said. Bathke said it does appear as though the area is rebounding with some new construction. Another coup for the department, a $50,000 increase in new revenue since it started billing insurance companies for calls. Last year, the department received $5,000 from billings. However, with the good comes the bad. Workman’s compensation and

For the first time, the department is budgeting $60,000 for legal fees. Bathke said this is just a safeguard if the department needs legal advice. The department needed some help last year from a lawyer to deal with a former disgruntled employee. Because of the costs, the budget includes no merit raises or cost of living adjustments. Bathke is hoping to give raises next year, the first in four years. “I hope we have finally hit the bottom of assessed values going down,” he said. Revamped reserve program
The department will also restructure its reserve program, which provides so much of the manpower. In the past, reserves would sign up for hours as they please, completing at least 48 hours a month. That made it hard to judge day-to-day staffing levels.
County attorney named president of State Bar For the first time, an attorney from Gila County is heading up the State Bar of Arizona. Deputy Gila County attorney/civil bureau chief Bryan Chambers was elected president of the State Bar at the annual State Bar convention June 26 in Phoenix. As incoming president, Chambers spoke at the Arizona Foundation for Legal Services and Education Luncheon at the convention. Chambers stressed the importance of justice and noted that too many people can no longer afford legal services. He said it should be easier for unrepresented people to navigate the legal system. He challenged attorneys to support legal aid organizations that provide legal services to the poor. Chambers has served in the GCAO for nearly 23 years, serving under five county attorneys. Currently, he represents and provides legal advice to the Gila County Board of Supervisors, other county elected officials, the Gila Community College District and carries a felony prosecution caseload. Chambers received his juris doctorate from the J. Rueben Clark Law School at Brigham Young University in 1992 where he was an articles editor for the

The new plan will split the reserves into five groups of five. One group will be on call at all times, shifts running 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. The groups will rotate days and reserves can swap hours. “I now know that I am going to have at least seven people on duty and available for calls,” he said. Heat-seeking camera
The Hellsgate Fire Department recently received a $15,000 heat-seeking camera, thanks to a federal grant. The hand-held camera has a multitude of uses and can shoot videos and still images, said Bathke. Firefighters can use it to look for hotspots in a house fire; scan for bodies on the side of the road after a wreck; check for hazardous materials; and see if things are electrically charged. The camera will be at station 21 in Star Valley. The camera that was there will go to station 22 in
Tonto Village and its camera will go to station 23 in Mead Ranch, which did not have a camera for crews at all. Bathke said firefighters use the camera in most non-medical calls and it will be a huge safety improvement for the Mead Ranch crew, which has had to go without one for years. “We need to make sure those guys are safe up there,” he said. The grant committee initially turned down Hellsgate’s grant, but Bathke convinced them to reconsider. This is the second grant in 2015 for Hellsgate. The department received a $3,000 grant for wildland equipment from the Arizona Volunteer Fire Assistance program. The department has also applied for a $1.6 million SAFER grant to help pay salaries and $181,000 for new air packs. “We are anxiously and patiently waiting,” he said.

Battle against Alzheimer’s poses difficult choices Expert discusses diagnosis, and treatment as toll of disease rises by
Teresa McQuerrey
roundup staff reporter
As baby boomers age — with the youngest turning 50 in 2014 — experts say the number of cases of Alzheimer’s disease will also inexorably rise. Already, Alzheimer’s ranks as the sixth leading cause of death among older people. By 2020 — just five years from now — an estimated 11 to 15 million U.S. citizens will receive the dreaded diagnosis, according to Heather Mulder, outreach program manager for Banner Alzheimer’s Institute in Phoenix. Mulder discussed the disease at the June 12 Senior Connections Conference at the Mazatzal Hotel & Casino event center. Many older adults suffer from varying degrees of dementia, but not all dementia is Alzheimer’s disease, she said. While Alzheimer’s is the most common cause of dementia, other causes included vascular issues, Parkinson’s disease, Lewy body dementia (second only to Alzheimer’s in causing dementia), and the rare frontotemporal dementia. Diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease involves a long, drawn-out process, but done property it’s 90 percent accurate, Mulder said. It is a diagnosis of “exclusion” and includes noting the history of changes over time, starting with the initial symptoms. Doctors can perform physical and neurological exams, cognitive testing (a seemingly random series of questions directed to very specific areas of the brain), labs and imaging studies. Early Alzheimer’s
Alzheimer’s typically progresses from its onset to its most severe stage in the course of seven to 10 years. The progression is through “stages” — mild or early stage; moderate or middle stage; advanced or late stage. Each stage requires different strategies and services. “Every individual experiences the disease differently. There are

great fluctuations in the disease. What ‘stage’ a patient is in is not important; the important thing is to allow them maximum dignity and quality of life possible on any given day,” Mulder said. Early Alzheimer’s disease
“Short term memory loss is the hallmark of the early stages of the disease,” she said. There are gradual changes over two to four years in memory, thinking, function, mood and personality. The person has increasing difficulty with tasks and activities previously done well, automatically and independently. They may have trouble with words and conversations become simpler and superficial. Other issues: losing or misplacing things; decreasing time awareness; a loss of judgment and impulse control. They may start getting lost or have trouble driving and be uncomfortable in new surroundings. Mood and behavioral changes are also part of the early stages of the disease. Many patients may compensate for weak areas initially, but these coping strategies stop working and lists may not make sense. “It’s important that caregivers (spouses/children) not try to take over everything for them at this point,” Mulder said, reinforcing the admonition to provide them with as much dignity and quality of life as possible on any given day. Moderate stage Alzheimer’s
At some point as some of the early stage symptoms worsen, a power of attorney document makes it possible for a loved one to take care of many issues, like finances and paying bills. As the patients progress into the middle stages of the disease, their memory and functional loss will worsen and they will face escalating difficulties with judgment and problem solving. They may no longer think logically, organize thoughts, and han-

They may suffer increased apathy, lack of initiative and gradual problems in taking care of themselves. Personality and behavior changes become more pronounced as they grow ever more dependent on caregivers. Late to end stage Alzheimer’s
“Non verbal communication becomes more and more important as the disease progresses,” Mulder said. As the patients move into the late stages of the disease, they suffer severe memory loss, including an inability to recognize loved ones. They often stop speaking altogether. They may have bladder and bowel control problems, posture issues and difficulty walking or may stop walking and become bed-bound and fully dependent for care needs. Treatment

The variety of symptoms and difficulties Alzheimer’s patients experience requires a number of different drugs. The goals for treatment at this point is to slow the progression of symptoms; help them retain/improve their ability to function; improve behaviors; focus on comfort and quality of life; and support their families with education and community resources. Medications can help with mood, behavior, sleep and pain. However, several strategies can minimize the need for drugs: • Help the patient avoid fatigue • Minimize changes in their lives — routine provides security and a sense of safety • Provide meaningful engagement (board and computer games, jigsaw puzzles, hobbies that help them use the brain in a much more intense way)
with sleep, address sleep hygiene issues first. According to Wikipedia, sleep hygiene is the recommended behavioral and environmental practice that is intended to promote better quality sleep. These include establishing a regular sleep schedule, using naps with care, not exercising physically or mentally too close to bedtime, limiting worry, limiting exposure to light in the hours before sleep, getting out of bed if sleep does not come, not using bed for anything but sleep and sex, avoiding alcohol as well as nicotine, caffeine, and other stimulants in the hours before bedtime and having a peaceful and comfortable sleep environment. Medications that may help with sleep include: Trazodone, Remeron, Melatonin, Atypical antipsychotics. Mulder advised avoiding benzos, antihistamines and “PM” formularies. As with behavior meds, Mulder said sleep meds should be a last resort. She strongly advised that caregivers not under treat the pain of an Alzheimer’s patient. Routinely scheduled Tylenol can help, especially the extra strength formula. Give 1,000 mg twice a day, but don’t exceed 3,000 mg. A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) may be given alternating with the Tylenol, but these can stress the gastrointestinal system and cause bleeding and anemia. Only in the case of severe pain should an Alzheimer’s patient be giving opioids, with lower doses and longer-acting forms than other patients. Research to find better treatments and a cure for Alzheimer’s is ongoing, said Mulder. The Banner Alzheimer’s Institute has 15 to 20 studies going at any given moment, not only seeking treatments but also prevention strategies.
Upcoming training
Banner Alzheimer’s Institute offers a free caregiver education class from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., Friday, July 24 at the Rim Country Health Community Room, 809 W. Longhorn Road, Payson. The program is COMPASS (Caregivers of Memoryimpaired Persons Acquiring Successful Strategies) — Direction for Caregivers after the Dementia Diagnosis. In the class, caregivers are introduced to the basics of disease progression, treatment and care. In addition, caregivers will learn to implement eight practical strategies to avoid many of the common problems that arise when caring for a person with dementia. The class is free, but registration is required. Call (602) 839-6850 to register. Local support
Those caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia problems can find support, educational materials and caregiver tools at the Alzheimer’s support group that meets at the Payson Senior Center from 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. the first and third Wednesdays of every month.

• Act early when an illness strikes • Be aware of misleading or overwhelming stimuli • Learn new communication skills — don’t argue; normal skills stop working, instead “agree, apologize, distract.” Several medications can help cognition, each working in a different way and each carrying side effects that can cause more problems than they solve. Mulder said cognition prescriptions often given to those in early to mid-stage of the disease are cholinesterase inhibitors such as Aricept, Razadyne or Exelon. Typical side effects include nausea, vomiting, anorexia, frequent loose stool, vivid dreams, leg cramps, runny nose and low blood pressure. Once a patient enters the moderate stage, Namenda can prove helpful. However, its typical side effects include headache, constipation, paradoxical confusion, sedation and dizziness. Medications that can help improve a patient’s mood include antidepressants such as Celexa, Lexapro, Zoloft, Effexor, Wellbutrin and Remeron. Prescriptions that can help both mood and pain are Lyrica and Cymbalta. Mulder said caregivers should make sure the Alzheimer’s patient avoids benzodiazepines, which can ramp up confusion, result in an unsteady gait and decrease inhibitions. Also avoid tricyclics, which work against the Alzheimer’s cognitive drugs. “Medications should be the last resort for behaviors as they are the way the patient is trying to communicate,” Mulder said. Medications that address behavior issues include antidepressants; atypical antipsychotics, which in some cases may create Parkinson’s-like symptoms; and seizure medications. To help an Alzheimer’s victim
As the outreach program manager for the Banner Alzheimer’s Institute, Heather Mulder strives to reach communities with relevant and pertinent information about Alzheimer’s disease and the supports available through BAI. She graduated with a bachelor’s of science degree in music from Illinois State University. Since then, she has worked with older adults, first in long-term care and next with an Area Agency on Aging and finally as an educator for the Alzheimer’s Association — Greater Illinois Chapter. She has not only seen the impact of dementia on individuals and their families through her work, but has also cared for a loved one who suffered through memory loss.

She thought the sunburn killed me. After reassuring her, I got out of the tub and gently dried my face and body to avoid reactivating the throbbing, burning pain of my self-imposed sunburn. One thing the experts say about a sunburn — moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. So, I turned to the problem of finding a suitable solution. Scientists say wheat germ oil works nicely — especially since I have what they would call hyperpigmentation, i.e., a sunburn.
The National Institutes of Health have discovered that wheat germ oil helps with blemishes, dark spots and sunburns, all while protecting the skin. It felt soothing. Another tip I learned — keep the moisturizer coming to lessen the effects of the peeling process. Maybe I can avoid that filo dough look — but, wait — what do I see? A blister! Truly, no good deed goes unpunished. Could it be that I shouldn’t have gotten myself sunburned in the first place? Nah. What’s the fun in that?
Tomato and Yogurt: First, apply a layer of yogurt to your face (experts recommend the Greek variety); then, take the juice of the tomato and paint it over the yogurt. The two ingredients blend together for the perfect combination of cleansing (from the enzymes in the yogurt) and skin nourishing (from the antioxidant properties of the tomato). Wheat Germ Oil: Simply rub the oil onto any area after cleansing. This oil helps with blemishes, dark spots, even stretch marks. Source: The Huffington Post
Evolution of Payson’s hospital & MHA by
Carol La Valley
for mha foundation
The progression of The Mogollon Health Alliance to the MHA Foundation is on track. The board had a plan and worked it. “Converting a piece of property from an asset that has served us well over the past few decades to cash is not like winning the lottery,” said MHA Board President Kenny Evans. “Converting it to a more liquid asset only gives us more options as we go forward.” This merger is far from the first time the hospital and its management has experienced growth and transition. It has evolved by leaps and bounds from its humble beginnings as a clinic with a pharmacist to deliver babies. A few historic milestones: December 1956: In a campaign headed by members of the Junior Payson Women’s Club the community of 1,000 raised $12,000 and received a land donation from Bill Miller valued at $5,600 at auction. The clinic cost just under $30,000 to build. Payson Clinic opens for business with two part-time physicians, a donated, used ambulance. Some 150 of the town’s 1,000 residents attend the December 23 dedication. June 28, 1957: David B. Gilbert arrives as Payson Clinic’s first full-time doctor. January 1958: Ladies Home Journal features the article “No Longer the Town without a Doctor.” November 25, 1959: The clinic meets the state requirement of 10 beds to become a hospital and “Payson Clinic Hospital” is born. June 1960: Payson Clinic Auxiliary forms and for the next 55 years the “Pink Ladies” will have an enormous impact on the value of the hospital, cleverly raising funds for equipment purchases and building expansion. In the ’60s, this included tile for the surgery room, linens, beds, kitchen appliances, a heart monitor, and a portable X-ray machine. November 5, 1967: Groundbreaking ceremony for the 1,408-square-foot hospital expansion that includes four new wards (from 16 to 26 beds) and a redesigned parking lot. Also in 1967: Almost New Shop opens across from the Oxbow Inn. 1970: Auxiliary furnishes pediatric ward. Hospital begins health care training for parents and paramedics. Candy Stripers form. Auxiliary opens the gift shop now known as La Boutique. 1973: Room rates increase from $37.50 to $42.50 per day. 1974: Medicare’s required hospital innovations and renovations are complete. $600,000 was ultimately raised to grow the hospital to 44 beds, a two-suite operating theater, and a full complement of ancillary services.
September 9, 1978: The hospital was dedicated and renamed the Lewis R. Pyle Memorial Hospital. (Nan Pyle donated her husband’s ranch to the hospital and the sale of that land kept it from bankruptcy.) 1983: Auxiliary donated three electric thermometers, four electric typewriters for admitting and medical records, four IV stands, a neo-natal respirator, intensive care unit monitor, and money toward a cautery unit for surgery and ER use valued at a total of $22,152.81. 1988: Mogollon Advisor reporter Carroll Cox reported “simmering” difficulties when a group of doctors considered leaving and opening their own acute care facility. They ultimately worked out their differences. March 23, 1993: With plans for an upgrade to a level three trauma center, birthing and diagnostic centers, the board changes the name to the Payson Regional Medical Center, Inc. At the same time, the Rim Country Health Care Foundation changed its focus from construction to fundraising. August 1997: Payson Regional Medical Center became a for-profit entity instead of a community hospital. Mogollon Health Alliance was born when PRMC Foundation, PRMC Board of Directors, and PRMC Auxiliary merged into a single nonprofit organization. MHA’s goal at that time was to “promote healthy communities by supporting activities and services in the health field.” MHA took ownership of the hospital buildings and grounds, with Community Health Systems, Inc. was the tenant. Over the course of the next 17 years, MHA expanded its leadership role in the community with major fundraising activities. In 1988, the Tonto Apache Tribe partnered with MHA to donate a high resolution Plasma Vision screen for inpatient education. MHA, along with Rim Country Health, played a key role in bringing a dialysis center back to Payson in 2007 and expanding the teleconferencing abilities at four Rim Country schools in 2013. The Auxiliary’s health education scholarships continued. Grants of training and equipment to local fire departments were made yearly. Gracie Lee Haught Children’s Memorial Fund and its good works were folded under the nonprofit’s wing. MHA is a founding sponsor of the annual Women’s Wellness Forum and is proud to co-sponsor the Community Health and Care Fair with the hospital and civic organizations. “Our mission evolved several years ago, but remains the same as it was prior to the merger: To promote rural health and education for members of the Rim Country communities through programs, activities, grants and scholarships,” CEO Sanja S. Long said. “We plan to continue current programming that has been of longstanding value to those communities.”
Become a Volunteer with the MHA Foundation Auxiliary Volunteers help make the Rim Country a fabulous place to live and work. We need your help to continue our mission which is to promote rural health and education opportunities for members of the community through programs, activities, grants and scholarships (including those that make it possible for students pursuing health occupations to continue their education).

County eyes $6 million in projects by
Teresa McQuerrey
roundup staff reporter
There might be a light at the end of the tunnel for the crowded county facilities in Payson. Granted, it was just a work session, but Mike Pastor, chairman of the Gila County Board of Supervisors, said remodeling the NAPA building in Payson should be a priority for capital improvement money. The supervisors met June 30 to review more than $6 million in capital improvements and capital outlay proposed for the 2015-16 fiscal year. The biggest CIP proposal is the Copper Administration Building remodel, which is estimated to cost $1.5 million. The used, modular building will provide office space in Globe. The county will borrow the money and start paying off the loans in FY 16-17, according to Jeff Hessenius, finance director. However, the supervisors had to include the project in this year’s budget. The payments on the project loan will be only slightly more than what the county currently pays in rent. The remodel of the NAPA building in Payson is estimated to cost $500,000 in the most recent document from public works provided to the supervisors Tuesday. Previous documents put the cost at $600,000. No decision has been made on how the NAPA building will be remodeled and used. Most of the discussions have proposed moving both the Superior and Justice Courts into the building and creating a secure passage from the jail to the courts for prisoners. With the courts out of the main
Frontier rather than Main and include a secure area in which to move prisoners. The change could also provide safe parking for staff that works late hours. Martin told Pastor and Marcanti she would like the county to look into buying the property west of the NAPA building. “They are talking about a 6,000-student university coming to Payson in two years, and what we have there cannot accommodate the kind of issues that might create,” Martin said. She suggested with the added property, traffic flow could be changed to eliminate the bottleneck created at the intersections of Frontier and Main with Colcord. “I don’t see a downside,” she said. Marcanti said he would like to see the Payson dispatchers have a more secure area to work. As it is, they have activity on all sides and are in very tight quarters. “The staff has done a good job of identifying needs,” Marcanti said. County manager Don McDaniel suggested the board and administrative staff take the time to tour all of the county’s problem facilities. The supervisors briefly reviewed capital outlay proposals from county departments at the
June 30 meeting. Topping this list was recycling/landfill, which proposes $668,900 in purchases: a compactor down payment of $200,000; a $200,000 dump truck; a $196,500 roll-off truck, plus a trailer for the roll-off truck and recycling bins totaling $73,400. Public works had the next highest amount, $495,300 for several vehicles and other items using the half-cent transportation excise tax. The department also wants a $60,000 sign truck bought with Highway User Revenue Funds. The GCSO wants to spend $424,206 for a variety of things: security cameras, equipment for vehicles, communication system upgrades and lake rescue operations equipment. The elections department wants $306,000 for election equipment replacement. The supervisors’ review of capital projects is part of the ongoing process to adopt the $92 million budget for the 2015-16 fiscal year. Two public meetings on the budget are planned from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., Wednesday, July 15 in Globe and Thursday, July 16 in Payson at Martin’s office at 610 E. Hwy. 260. Both meetings will be on the county’s ITV system (Payson residents can watch the Globe meeting and those in Globe can watch the Payson meeting).

building of the county complex in Payson, other staff/departments could move and gain space. Pastor said he also wanted to see a more secure area to move prisoners into the Payson jail from law enforcement vehicles. Currently, officers must sometimes wait in the parking lot with their prisoners waiting for space to open up in the room where they process prisoners. The inadequate archive/evidence storage of the county was another concern of Pastor and Supervisors Tommie Martin and John Marcanti. The storage of evidence in Globe is so poor that much of it is being lost to damage by the environment and rats. Gila County Sheriff Adam Shepherd said his staff almost has to put on hazmat suits to go into the Globe evidence storage facility to retrieve anything. Martin offered a series of suggestions to deal with “big picture” issues. In the various acquisitions, the county has bought a property adjacent to the courthouse site in Globe. She suggested tearing down the old house on it and building a central administration building for the sheriff’s office with proper evidence storage and a secure area for dispatch. She said she would like to see the Payson jail entrance off

Special events at Tonto Bridge by
Teresa McQuerrey
roundup staff reporter
Students in the Rim Country return to school in less than a month now — classes resume Monday, Aug. 3. So, if you still want to squeeze a few summer memories into your children’s mental scrapbooks, consider visiting Tonto Natural Bridge State Park. Put on some sturdy hiking boots or shoes (not flatlander flip-flops), pack a picnic lunch and plenty of water and head out early. The park is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., daily (last admission at 5 p.m.) through Sept. 7. Admission is $5 per person for those 14 and older; $2 per person everyone 7-13; and 6 and under are free if they are accompanied by an adult. This weekend, from 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m., Saturday, July 11, the park has a special event sched-
uled: Clovis Points to Copper Bells: the Prehistoric Archaeology of the Payson Basin with J. Scott Wood. Wood was the Tonto National Forest archaeologist from 1975 to 2015 and for the last seven years has served as adviser to the Rim Country Chapter of the Arizona Archaeological Society and director of the ongoing Goat Camp Ruin Excavation, Stabilization and Interpretive Development Project for the Town of Payson. The following weekend, from 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m., Saturday, July 18 there will be a program on Settlers of the Natural Bridge. Members of the Northern Gila County Historical Society will be doing the presentation. The event will be held in the Lodge dining room; due to the limited space in the dining room only 50 people will be admitted. Please sign up in advance of the talk; you can make your reservation by emailing ger-
ickson@azstateparks.gov or by calling (928) 476-4202. There will be a PowerPoint presentation about the first people who settled at the Natural Bridge — David Douglas Gowan and his nephew, David Gowan Goodfellow. Several items belonging to the Goodfellows, including the trunk that came over from Scotland with them in 1893 will be on display. The event is covered by the cost of the entrance fee. There will be another program from 11 a.m. to noon, Saturday, Aug. 15 with representatives from the Northern Gila County Historical Society talking about Zane Grey and his impact on the Rim Country. They will discuss who he was and why he was important. They will also talk about his experiences here in the state, the building of his original cabin, and the reasons that he originally came to the Rim Country.

O B I T U A R I E S Pastor James (Jim) Monroe Barker (1927-2015)
Pastor James (Jim) Monroe Barker was born Sept. 5, 1927 in Sayre, Okla. He married Bernita J. Van Camp, Nov. 22, 1945. He went to be with the Lord July 1, 2015. Jim is survived by his loving wife, Bernita; and their six children: Donna Mattox, Barker, Kathleen Mark Barker (Joyce), Thomas Barker (Luann), Wendell Barker (Melanie), Dee Ann Hines (Tony). Also surviving are 22 grandchildren and their spouses, 55 great-grandchildren and their spouses and four great-great-grandchildren, with a family total of 107.

Jim accepted the Lord July 3, 1952, and was baptized in a muddy stock pond behind the church. The red mud from the pond washed out of Jim’s T-shirt, but the Holy Spirit is still in him. They lived in Texas, Oklahoma and back to Arizona in 1958. Jim worked for A.J. Bayless Markets as a meat manager and then surrendered to preach when their last son was stillborn. He attended Southwestern Bible College Phoenix, Ariz. Jim was a preacher for Carefree Baptist Church and an interim pastor
at Quartzite, Ariz. He flew with ‘Wings for Christ’ until the plane crashed and the pilot was killed. He was ordained at Payson Baptist Church, Oct. 1, 1968. He was a pastor of several churches in Arizona: Payson, Prescott, Phoenix and Yuma. Also a pastor in Alaska at Fairbanks and Eagle River. Jim then moved to Lewisville, Texas to join Accelerated Christian Academy where he served 35 years and was Head of Operations and Distribution. He received many awards including “Most Valuable Employee” in which Jim and Bernita went to Hawaii for some R&R. Jim and Bernita, retired in Star Valley, where they have resided the past 14 years. After his two-year battle with cancer, he is now at peace with his Lord Jesus Christ. Services will be held Friday, July 10 at 1 p.m. at Messinger Payson Funeral Home, 901 S.

After marriage, they made their home in Pine, and he started his own business, Blue Moon Construction, becoming the youngest contractor in Arizona at the age of 22.

Steve collected vintage Mustangs, old trucks and motor-
cycles. He loved his family. The biggest blessing was brought to Steve on his birthday in 2010… a grandson in his namesake, who instantly stole his heart, and they were best buds for life.

July 4 celebration draws 16,000 From page 1A in the park on a valid warrant. Besides a few minor collisions, the roadways were clear. “I think because it was so busy and jammed
up, people were moving slowly and there were no accidents,” he said. An hour after the fireworks show ended, Engler reported the park was clear with many people electing to use the free shuttle service to the high school to avoid the roadways.
Visitors leave less trash in the forest by
Michele Nelson
roundup staff reporter
Overall, the July 4 weekend in the forest went pretty well, according to Chris Welker, recreation officer for the Payson Ranger District. “The attendance on the Tonto … was a little lower than I expected,” he said. “Maybe people didn’t hear about the fire restrictions being lifted.” Among those who came to camp by rivers and in campgrounds, Welker said the Pack It Out trash program had great results. “At the Payson Event Center, those going home to Mesa from the Coconino saw the signs on 87 BUG-INFESTED ACROSS 1 Subject to quizzing 9 Analyzed, as ore 16 A little of a lot 20 Not positive about 21 Placards and posters 22 Scheme 23 Insect from East Sussex? 25 Bucket 26 Mechanical twisting 27 Singer Young 29 Thurman of “Bel Ami” 30 Cato’s 2,002 33 Ho-hum grades 34 Insect enjoying a novel? 38 Tiny charged thing 39 Had life 40 Plains tent 42 Diner activity 43 Think it’s terrific when insects wed? 48 Iowa, for one 49 Bell sounds 50 It’s “just a number” 51 Form a bloc 53 Use a couch 54 Use a bed 55 Fire-starting stones 58 Puppy bites 62 Joins, redundantly 65 Insect with a shiner? 67 Low- — graphics 68 — Jima 69 Opposite of everybody 70 “— Blu Dipinto di Blu” (1958 hit song) 71 USSR’s Cold War foe 72 Insect mailing a package? 75 Stabs, so to speak 77 Baseballer Martinez 78 Chides 79 Cry to a matador 80 Alternate spelling of a wd. ANSWER TO PREVIOUS PUZZLE
and those folks were captured,” he said. “We did get a little more trash than Memorial Day.” Welker attributed the success of the dumping sites to the highway signage allowed by ADOT and local folks and businesses talking up the program. “The key is small business owners all talk,” he said. “In the future, we hope to grow the program.” This year, Carl’s Jr. supported the program by offering campers the use of their dumpster and handing out coupons for burgers — kind of a Dump Your Trash, Get A Burger campaign that helped the restaurant’s business.

“Carl’s had an elevated attendance because of coupons,” said Welker. “They could definitely see elevated numbers.” Welker hopes to inspire more businesses even outside the town of Payson to join the effort. “Maybe next year it’ll be get a coupon for That Brewery,” he said. Welker said the education efforts before the weekend by Forest Service staff and volunteers made a difference out in the forest, too. “There are a lot of top notch users (and) good folks out there,” he said, “But it takes education, education, education. It takes a collective voice.”

Dog days of summer: Labs naturals in air, water by
Keith Morris
roundup sports editor
The athlete picked up speed as she charged down the dock. With her final steps she launched herself through the air like a champion long jumper. Holli soared 19 feet 7 inches before splashing into the water. A personal best performance. Welcome to the sport of dock diving, one of the fastest-growing sports in the country. Holli is one of Payson resident Suzi Wild’s American Labrador Retrievers. She’s 3. Tucker is 17 months old. Both have been involved in the sport since joining the Arizona Dock Dogs Club, which was established in 2009. “I own apartments in Cave Creek and I just wanted to find something fun for the dogs to do when I drive down there because it’s so hot,” said Wild, an associate real estate broker. “So I went on the Internet just looking for a pool.” She came across the Website for Partners Aquatic Center for Dogs, which had a pool, and Partners Dog School. “I wanted to find out about the pool,” she said. Wild drove her two dogs to the Cave Creek facility several times. “They had me work with a swimming instructor to see how well my dogs would swim,” she said. “We did four weeks of swimming with a swimming instructor. And I found out about dock diving.” The canines took to it like ducks to water. “You first go off the ramp just to get them accustomed to water,” Wild said. “If they like the water, we bring them up on the dock. There’s a couple of feet from the dock to the water, so it can be very scary for dogs. But both my dogs jumped off the dock with no problem and have never looked back. “They loved it and I joined the club. They have so much fun when they see that pool.” The two dogs compete in an event called big air, which features dogs jumping off a dock chasing a toy thrown by their handler. Their jump distance is measured by where their tail hits the water. Holli competes in the senior division.
“With Holli, I throw a retrieving bumper,” Wild said. “I place her on a sit, stay anywhere from 17-20 feet back and she stays until I give her the call to go. My call word is ‘swim.’ Then I say ‘get it, get it, get it, get it’ and she runs as fast she can down the dock.” Tucker competes in the junior division. “With Tucker, I use a squeaky duck,” Wild said. “The idea is that the dog tracks the toy, whatever it is. More times than not, Holli catches it in midair. The first time Tucker started he belly flopped.” He’s certainly improved. His personal best is 15 feet 3 inches. “Tucker’s gotten so many first places,” Wild said. So has Holli. Both dogs have earned their Arizona Dock Dogs Club titles, while Holli has earned her national title, as well. Big air is one of three disciplines. The others are extreme vertical, which involves dogs jumping up to retrieve a suspended bumper, and speed retrieve, in which dogs jump into the water and swim to the end of a 40-foot pool to grab a dead fowl trainer as quickly as possible. “We’re going to learn the discipline of speed retrieve this summer,” Wild said. “I don’t know when we’ll try extreme vertical. One thing at a time. They do really well in the big air.” Wild said she just wants her pets to enjoy themselves. “My first goal is to have a lot of fun,” she said. “Secondly, it doesn’t hurt to win. I’d like to see how far they can go.” Holli competed in the Go Pro Mountain Games in Vail, Colo. and overcame an injured tail to finish fourth in the amateur contender division. The other divisions are semi-pro and pro. “We’re so proud of her,” Wild said. Wild credited Pine trainer, Lori Chandler, of Leader of the Pack Corps., for providing the proper obedience training for her dogs so they could later learn how to dock dive. The next competition the dogs will compete in is Dogtober Fest at Partners in Cave Creek in October. In addition to practicing at the pool in Cave Creek, Wild trains with Holli and Tucker on the ground at Green Valley Park.

Always put safety first when outdoors in Rim Country Good morning, Rim Country anglers. Campsites at most lakes and streams are near capacity during the summer months. This is also the time monsoon storms hit that can lead to big trouble. The recent lightning storm on the Rim and the microburst that hit Roosevelt Lake are examples of how fast weather conditions can turn deadly. If you’re taking part in any outdoor activities in Rim Country, always pay attention to an approaching storm and take action before the storm hits. Boaters should always have a plan to get off the water

These trout
have transmitters in them so their movements can be tracked. There is no penalty for catching a radioed fish and you can keep the fish. AGFD would just like their transmitter back. Simply call your local AGFD office with the information, they will take it from there. Fishing on Roosevelt Lake is fair to good depending on the day. Summer patterns and traditional summertime baits are still producing good numbers and quality of bass. Baits recommended include Senkos, ribbon tail worms, curly tail and lizard imitations. And the areas recommended are the main lake points
in 20-35 feet water, which are popular for summertime fishing. The full moon we recently passed is making for some excellent nighttime bass fishing conditions. Experienced anglers are fishing those same locations after sunset but using darker colored baits. Crappie fishing was reported to be fair again this past week. Most crappie anglers are taking advantage of the full moon to stay on the lake well after dark. If you’re crappie fishing during the day, look for crappie near cover in 20-25 feet. A vertical fishing technique allows the angler to drop the
bait into the middle of a school of crappie. Any two-inch curly tail grub on a jig-head will work. If you’re fishing for crappie during the night, a live minnow suspended about two feet below a split-shot weight is always the best bait for nighttime crappie fishing. If you’re in Rim Country, remember to always put safety first. And if you’re enjoying the forests, make it a rule to pack out more than you brought in. Have a great week of fishing and I hope see you on the water. James Goughnour owns Rim Country Custom Rods

July 4th Bash Payson’s fireworks show this year drew a record crowd. Photographer DJ Craig caught these wonderful images of locals and visitors having a wonderful time at a small-town celebration — with tug-of-war, egg-tossing, hot dogs and, of course, fireworks. Nor did folks forget about the great debt they owed to those who secured the freedoms they celebrated, thanks to the Green Valley Park War Memorial.

Game and Fish seeks comments on guidelines The Arizona Game and Fish Department is seeking public comment on draft proposed hunt guidelines for the 2016-17 and 2017-18 hunting seasons. The guidelines were developed based on input received through written public comment and information gathered at 10 public meetings conducted statewide. The guidelines can be viewed on the department’s website at http://azgfdportal.az.gov/ hunting/guidelines. Comments on the guidelines may be submitted through July 31 to AZGameBranch@azgfd. gov, or by mail: Hunt Guidelines, Arizona Game and Fish Department, 5000 W. Carefree Highway, Phoenix, AZ 85086. The hunt guidelines provide the biological and social parameters used by wildlife managers to formulate the annual hunt recommendations (season structures, season lengths, season dates, permits allocated, etc.). These recommendations result in the hunts in which licensed hunters may participate. While hunting opportunity is important, wildlife is held in the public trust; therefore, using science-based principles to shape the guidelines process remains
paramount to ensure healthy, sustainable and diverse wildlife populations in perpetuity. “Your comments are important,” said Amber Munig, big game management supervisor. “The biological sideboards for managing wildlife and maintaining healthy, sustainable populations are fairly broad. Your input helps us fine-tune management within these sideboards. Please take a moment to give us your views.” The final proposed hunt guidelines and all public comments, along with department responses to those comments, will be shared with the Arizona Game and Fish Commission at its Sept. 4-5 meeting in Springerville. The Arizona Game and Fish Department does not receive general funds from the State of Arizona. The conservation and management of the state’s game animals is made possible by funding generated from the sale of hunting licenses, tags, and matching funds from the Wildlife Restoration Act, a federal excise tax that hunters and manufacturers pay on guns, ammunition and other hunting/shooting-related equipment.
Strong finish lifts foursome to victory in tight men’s golf battle A dozen men battled it out tooth and nail and 18 holes didn’t settle a thing. So they went to the scorecards and a strong finish earned Don Pollock, Chip Yeomans, Dennis Schwebs and Bill McKenna the tiebreaker. That foursome shot 89 on the back nine to win the Payson Men’s Golf Association Four-Man Team Tournament at Payson Golf Course on July 1. They shot a net 187 score for 18 holes. So did Frank Szakal, Mike Eilenfeldt, Ed Bossert and Ed Quigley. But that group wound
up second thanks to a 92 on the back nine. Jessie Smith, Terry Lindsey, Lou Manganiello and Steve Vincent also carded 187 but placed third with a 93 on the final nine. Ed Bossert won the longest putt, finding the cup from 21 feet 8 inches. Closest-to-the-pin winners were: Larry Smith (No. 2, 7-2), Tim Hughes (No. 5, 7-4), Chip Yeomans (No. 14, 2-8) and Don Shepard (No. 17, 3-3).
