Crash of car rigged with a bomb closes highway Stunned paramedics find fuse, explosives on the underside by
Alexis Bechman
roundup staff reporter
Several Strawberry businesses and homes were evacuated Saturday morning and traffic re-routed around town after a vehicle with a bomb strapped to it rolled into a wash at the entrance to town. A Department of Public Safety bomb squad safely removed the homemade device and the highway was re-opened several hours later. Around 5:40 a.m., a 2005 Hummer H2 was traveling south on State Route 87 when the driv-
er lost control near milepost 270 and the vehicle went through a guardrail and rolled into a ravine north of Fossil Creek Road, across from the Strawberry Market. This is roughly 15 miles northwest of Payson. Pine-Strawberry Fire Depart ment paramedics were getting the male driver out of the overturned black SUV when one firefighter noticed what appeared to be a fuse line leading to a device near the gas tank. Alarmed, they quickly got the driver out and called for the bomb

Pine-Strawberry paramedics working to get the driver out of this Hummer H2 that rolled off the highway entering Strawberry found an explosive device strapped to the underside, with a fuse that led to the driver’s compartment.
For the second year in a row, Payson High School will not offer Advanced Placement physics — nor will it offer AP chemistry. The reason? “When we looked at our numbers, we didn’t have enough students to financially justify the class,” said Brian Mabb, PHS principal. Payson Unified School District
Sign contest yields a winner
Superintendent Greg Wyman agreed. “We need to have at least 10 to 15 students to make a class financially viable,” he said. Mabb said when he started at the school, the classes were offered in a rotation cycle. Students interested in the science classes could plan to take one their junior year and the other their senior year.

Archaeological field work reportedly completed by

Beautifully ambiguous. Like most other elements of the long-running effort to build a 6,000-student university campus in Payson. Payson resident Donn Morris won the “design the sign” contest to come up with a sign intended to adorn the 253-acre Forest Service site on which the Rim Country Educational Alliance wants to build a 6,000-student university campus. The winning design entry carries the words “site of the Future University Campus in Payson,” with a pair of pine trees that look far more fir than ponderosa and the snow-mantled outline of the Mogollon Rim in the background. The sign includes the phrase “pride of Payson” as a pithy footnote. The Rim Country Educational Foundation picked the winning design from a dozen entries as a way to begin to
re-engage the public in the university project, after years of setbacks and delays. Backers of the university project gathered recently at Gerardo’s Firewood Cafe for the unveiling of the winning sign design. The Payson Roundup and Gerardo’s sponsored the sign contest. Payson Mayor Kenny Evans said the Foundation and the Alliance are pressing the Tonto National Forest to accept a $4.1 million check in exchange for a quitclaim deed to turn the property over to the Alliance for the university site. He said that the Forest Service has submitted the request and the idea of transferring title quickly through a quitclaim deed rather than a traditional escrow. Reportedly, Aztec Consulting has finished the archaeological field work on the site. Evans said that the consultants dug down around several sites where preliminary surveys revealed several pottery shards. The consultants

Star Valley code commission will mediate neighborhood disputes by
Alexis Bechman
roundup staff reporter
When neighbors report neighbors violating town code, town officials must often intervene and clean things up. In Star Valley, this means getting between feuding neighbors and others fed up with how someone is keeping their home or property. Town Manager Tim Grier said resolving these issues often requires a lengthy and difficult process. Looking for some help, Grier asked the council last week to set up a commission to process zoning compliance complaints. THE WEATHER Outlook: Mostly sunny, highs in the mid 90s, lows in the low 60s. Chance for rain throughout the week. Details 11A
volume 25, no. 55
Besides Grier, the council appointed councilors Andy McKinney and Bob O’Connor to the commission for one year and may add an additional community member if someone volunteers. Grier said he envisions the commission acting like mediators, trying to find common ground to avoid legal action. The complaints often stem from one neighbor complaining about the other. Living in a rural area, many complaints involve horses, including someone having too many horses, not housing them properly or in the right part of the yard or issues cleaning up after them. Several years ago, neighbors complained about a hoarder, whose home
was filled with trash and junk. The town sent several letters. When that did not work, the town filed a suit with the court and the woman finally got things cleaned up. Every year, Grier fields about half a dozen zoning complaints. The first stop when a new complaint comes in to town hall is sending out a member of town staff to visit the property and see if the complaint is valid. Staff then researches the code and if warranted, sends a letter to the offending party. The town continues to send letters about the code violation and if nothing changes, Grier goes to court and files a complaint.

Grier said he tries to mediate a solution because going to court is a time-consuming and expensive process. Lois Johnson, town clerk, suggested creating a commission to help with mediation efforts. About one-third of every working day is spent working on code compliance issues for Grier and Johnson. Grier said he liked the idea of a commission because it could resolve these issues quicker. Recently, a neighbor of the Heart Six Ranch in Star Valley complained about the number of horses on the property and the resulting animal waste. Grier said they are trying to work out
a solution with the neighbor and owner of the ranch, which rescues horses and rehabilitates them and offers a free program for children to learn equine care and riding. He said while the ranch clearly has more horses than the code permits, which allows for two horses per acre, there is no simple answer. He said they are trying to find a solution that recognizes the property rights of neighbors, but that does not shut down the ranch. “It is a much-needed operation,” Grier said of the ranch. The council agreed to try a mediation commission and if it does not work, shut it down.

At its first-ever board retreat on March 27, Gila Community College board member Jerry McCreary agreed to create a new committee to win independent accreditation. At the July 2 board meeting, he reported the committee will immediately create a fiveyear plan to achieve the accreditation goal. Currently, GCC is a provisional college district and relies on Eastern Arizona College for accreditation. GCC pays EAC about $1 million a year for administrative services. “At the work session we had at Roosevelt, I made everyone aware that this accreditation procedure I look at as being a minimum of five years,” he said. “I would like to establish a timeline of where we will be from year one, three, four and five.” Accreditation would allow GCC to apply for equalization funds from the state. For
small rural community colleges, equalization funds help to put them on the same par financially as community colleges in large metropolitan areas that receive more income from property taxes. The battle for independence has taken years and required GCC to even seek legislation to attempt the onerous and expensive accreditation process. McCreary’s co-committee members include board member Jan Brocker and Senior Dean Steve Cullen. The new GCC board has largely healed the divisions between north and south that hampered all such efforts and discussions in the past. McCreary said the packet sent in to the Higher Learning Commission by former board member Larry Stephenson exposed an absence of serious and expensive requirements. “We have to establish a chief academic
officer and chief executive officer … (and) … we have to have an accreditation liaison,” he said. McCreary said he hopes the Higher Learning Commission will allow GCC to put board members into some of those positions. McCreary told the board he anticipates the budget for accreditation could reach upward of $12 million. Adding a complication to the accreditation process, GCC pays Eastern Arizona College, the institution that currently provides accreditation to GCC, 25 percent above and beyond what it pays for staff and services provided. “There are seven departments that we have to form at GCC that are now being done for us through EAC … those are positions that as we work toward accreditation we will work toward our budget,” he said. “With accreditation, we will have to look at a $12 million budget.”

squad, said Pine-Strawberry Fire Chief Gary Morris. Officials evacuated businesses and homes within a quarter mile of the wreck, including the Sportsman Chalet and closed the highway down, re-routing traffic through neighborhood streets. The driver of the vehicle was
conscious but disoriented, Morris said. Guardian airlifted him to a Flagstaff hospital with serious, but not life-threatening injuries. Crews initially thought there might be two bombs, one strapped near the gas tank and another inside the vehicle. It was then reported that bomb squad technicians found seven sticks of dynamite with
a live fuse going to the driver’s seat, said Sgt. Weston White with DPS. It turned out to be one homemade improvised explosive device near the gas tank. It was not dynamite, he said. A fuse line did run from the device into the cab near the driver’s seat. It had not been lit. It is unknown where the man
was coming from or headed. DPS officials said they will continue to investigate and will likely file charges against the man once he’s out of the hospital. They did not release his name. White said it does not appear the man intended to harm anyone. Police re-opened the highway Saturday around 9:40 a.m.
GCC course will explore water use in Rim Country Water is essential to our lives in Payson, from the moment you wake up and flush — to your final rinse after brushing your teeth before bed — the average Payson resident uses 74 gallons each day.

Payson schools facing tough competition
• July 16, 1863: The draft riots enter their fourth day in New York City in response to the Enrollment Act, which allowed wealthier citizens to pay $300 to avoid military duty. More than 1,000 people died in the violence, which was only contained by the arrival of Union troops from the battlefield at Gettysburg. • July 15, 1971: President Richard Nixon stuns the nation by announcing that he will visit communist China. Since the Communists came to power in China in 1949, Nixon had been one of its most vociferous critics. • July 13, 1985: In London, Prince Charles and Princess Diana officially open Live Aid, a worldwide rock concert to raise money for the relief of famine-stricken Africans. The 16-hour concert was globally linked by satellite to more than a billion viewers in 110 countries. • July 14, 1995: The MP3 file compression format is born, allowing music files small enough to be stored in bulk.
The Payson Unified School District had better get its whatnot together — and quickly. The district’s in danger — but we’re not sure the board understands the peril. At least, that’s one conclusion you could draw from the revelation that for yet another year the district has no plan to offer AP physics or AP chemistry. Here’s the danger of letting rigorous classes for top students fade from the curriculum. American Leadership Academy is coming. This successful charter school has a reputation for stressing core, academic classes — like chemistry and physics. Reportedly, a group of parents asked the charter school to open a Payson campus. Rumor has it that several present and former Payson teachers and administrators are already working closely with the charter school to recruit teachers and parents. Now, it’s likely that the charter school will start out offering K-8 classes — then add high school classes as it recruits its target enrollment of 800. The school reportedly already has a site and financing for the campus. The opening of a new school in Payson could have a dramatic impact on both the Payson Unified School District and on the Payson Christian School. If most of the 800 students come from the Payson School District, it would represent a $3 million hit to Payson’s already dwindling budget. The slow, steady loss of students has already stressed the district’s budget. The loss of hundreds of students when the American Leadership Academy opens could have a far more devastating impact. The Payson School Board doesn’t have much time to get ready — a year, maybe two. In the past several years, the district has neglected its once growing gifted program, trimmed its advanced course offerings and offered inadequate support for parents trying to get the schools to adjust to the needs and learning styles of their children. Instead, the closure of Frontier Elementary School resulted in a big increase in elementary school class sizes. Moreover, the fragmentation of the grade levels means that a student in the Payson School District who starts in kindergarten will change schools four times before graduating. The school board seems to think that having a football program will give it an edge in competing for students with the charter school. We doubt it, especially because the law may well allow the charter students to participate in the district’s athletic programs simply by paying a fee. Instead, we think that unless Payson schools wake up — the charter school will find parents seeking a rigorous, diverse, college preparatory curriculum a ready audience for the charter school’s sales pitch. Of course, this is precisely the logic behind charter schools. Advocates have long argued that regular public schools have a near monopoly — which makes them lazy and unresponsive. Charter schools will force regular public schools to up their game to compete, say advocates. Let’s hope that’s true. To meet the challenge, the district should go into emergency planning mode. It must ensure that it provides any student willing to work with first-rate preparation for college — which includes internships, a full array of AP courses, a close connection with Gila Community College and the proposed university, a top-rated gifted program and an effective career and college counseling program. We think the district should also seriously consider a K-8 model. Clearly, this poses a huge challenge — given the Legislature’s disgraceful, seemingly willful abandonment of our public schools — the worst funded public schools in the nation. By contrast, lawmakers continue to lavish support on charter schools — even beyond the $1,000 per-student premium in state support. Clearly, state lawmakers believe competition from charters will do more good than harm. But what may well happen in Payson is the charter school will spend millions to build new facilities, ultimately forcing the district to close schools already built with taxpayer dollars. Moreover, the charter school could well draw off the best students, the most involved parents and the most creative and flexible teachers. That will leave the district that serves the bulk of the children in the community financially devastated and demoralized. The Payson School District has no more urgent task than devising a strategy to survive the coming of a charter school to Payson. We’re not sure how it should respond — but we’re certain that not bothering to offer AP chemistry and AP physics is the wrong response.

Pretend a truth Editor: Imagine you own a large valuable property out west, your insurance for the future and something to bequeath to your children. Some areas of this property grow crops while others are left as they are, too beautiful to change or destroy, left instead to feed the soul. Now imagine that you have a new neighbor on adjoining land who uses his property to raise animals. After awhile, to your dismay, you begin to notice that your land is not as beautiful as before, but instead is showing hard use especially near the property line with that new neighbor. Very upset, you confront the neighbor, asking for compensation for the damage. He refuses. You involve the authorities, who order him to pay up — but to no avail. Finally, the court calls upon law enforcement to satisfy your claim. Your neighbor, having been notified that some of his property will be confiscated to satisfy your claim, calls all his friends and together they stand armed and positioned to stand off any attempt to collect what is due to you for the damage to your property. Finally, to prevent loss of life, the authorities stand down, while your neighbor and his friends gloat that they beat you. This is, in fact, a true story. In April, Cliven Bundy, a rancher in Nevada, and his hundreds of friends and supporters celebrated the oneyear anniversary of their success in defying the law — in defying you and your rights as the property owner. Say what? Yes, YOU. You, me, and all citizens own the property that he defiled and used to make money. We are the ones who lost that standoff. We are the ones who own that land and were defrauded. Wait a minute, you say, that was “the government,” not me. Oh, but it was you, because in the final analysis, we are the government. We were being represented by the “authorities” present. They were representing us, “the government,” we the people, citizens of this country, the ones who own federal land. Have we so objectified “the government” that we forget it is us? Have we forgotten that through our Constitution, our democracy, our representatives, our laws, our courts, our armed forces, etc., we govern this great land? We may not like how our government works all the time, but it is our government and we have a responsibility to make it the best that we know how. Don’t like it? Get involved! As Pogo once remarked, “We have met the enemy and he is us.” Marilyn Decker
Residents need to Firewise their property Editor: It was enlightening and encouraging to read the Payson Fire Department is moving ahead to assess and inform people of the importance of Firewising their properties. The Payson Roundup needs to be commended for supporting such efforts.
As a nationally certified Firewise person, I find some take a defensive position until we hit on “Oh, Wow.” Firebreaks around the town are not there to stop wildfires from entering the town, but to be an aid to firefighters. Embers can travel a mile or more and once airborne they can start numerous new fires elsewhere. Best home insurance and coverage with lowest rates depends on being Firewise. There are multiple sources of fire especially being a campers’ destination: barbecues, trailer chains sparking on the roadways, lightning, overheating, fireworks, campfires, kids playing with matches, propane tanks, tossed cigarettes, kitchen stoves, combustibles in garages ... As the town grows, so does the planting of non-native vegetation and trees of which some behave like a Roman candle in a fire. Some of our high winds and hills can hamper firefighting. Once a fire is hot and roaring, it has a mind of its own. What would you rather have? A town that’s a matted sea of green that challenges a wildfire and leaves a path of charred homes and landscape (think Yarnell) or a town that prepares itself so we can keep what we had before it struck? Marguerite Kelly
Patriotism a trademark of our community Editor: At the risk of sounding like I am pandering for public office, etc., I wish to say the following: Each year I have seen the reading of the Declaration of Independence at the Patriotic Events Ceremony held at Payson’s Green Valley Park become more professional, popular, and powerful in influencing Payson’s patriotism. And I am enormously proud to be a part of the event. In witnessing the comments of attendees I believe I see the burning brush fires of patriotism on their way to «desire-able conflagration». Political party membership is never mentioned. Indeed love for country is the only polarizing attitude I see and hear. Truly we are witnessing an ever-maturing movement. I will pledge the continued use of my sound system and my personal involvement for many, many years. Of the offered 1,000 copies of the Declaration of Independence I brought with me to the event, 450 remain in my satchel. A teacher asked if she could have enough for her students — 30 something students! I have heard that one person I gave many to, distributed them at their church the following Sunday. Brushfires indeed! Interest in the founding document is spreading. Upturned bushel baskets can no longer hide its birthing light of liberty! To willingly be a supporter of such a critical contemporary effort is exciting and satisfying for me.
Thanks to all for providing a most timely fervency and steady leadership in reminding all men of «their right» and «their duty» to «provide new Guards for their future security». I look forward to participating in any effort to grow this event even more. Bruce Wales
Thank you Payson Fire Department Editor: On Saturday evening, July 4th, I was experiencing some heart problems. Due to the traffic conditions at Green Valley Park for the fireworks, we ended up stopping at the fire station on Main Street. Battalion Chief Rasmussen was on duty at the time and took us inside so the EMTs could check my blood pressure. After several minutes of blood pressure checks, EKGs and consultation, it was decided that my condition was serious enough to require a flight down to the Valley. They arranged transportation from the fire station up to the heliport and within 30 minutes I was up in the air. All the EMTs, Fire Engineer Garcia and Battalion Chief Rasmussen are to be commended for their excellent care and help during this stressful situation. I am now sporting a new pacemaker and am thankful that we have such a caring and efficient fire department. I know my situation was a medical one, but we need to also be thankful to all our firefighters as our fire season is in full swing. Thank you again for all you do for this community! Roger Donahoo
We will miss DJ Craig Editor: We are saddened to learn that DJ Craig will not be writing his weekly musical columns for the Payson Roundup. For as long as we can remember, his weekly columns have entertained us and certainly brought to mind many highlights concerning music throughout the years. His knowledge of and concern for all types of music has given us all a splendid look into the wonderful world of recorded sound. His music trivia questions were a delight and a challenge to answer. We remember and have saved his wonderful 10-part series on recorded sound, from the early days (Edison cylinder records and phonographs) to the LPs, tapes, CDs and the present day IPODs, IPADs and other sound devices. His knowledge of songs and artists of the different eras is quite extensive. We know that we will see you and your lovely wife around town or at one of the many venues that you participate in. Please continue to submit your terrific photographs to the Payson Roundup as you are indeed a gifted photographer. Our best wishes for continued success in your future endeavors, and thank you for the many years of enriching the lives of Rim Country residents. Bob & Karyn Sitter

Author pays homage to man’s best friend “The Last Moment” by Ken Crump with illustrations by Amy Abney Reviewed by Andy McKinney Good books for very young children must be crafted with great care and understanding of just what will interest a little one and just what will benefit a small child. Rim Country author Ken Crump manages both in this homage to man’s best friend, our companions, our tail-wagging friends and our cherished life mates. Crump’s opening line tells us how he thinks of our canine pals — “Dogs love people more than anything. They always have.” A few pages later Crump has the school-age girl protagonist say that her dog, now gone, came to her in a dream and told her that “... there was a time when people and animals talked to each other” which for me echos Genesis chapter 2 verse 19 which brought all the animals to Adam to be named. In both cases, man and beast lived together in harmony and co-operation. Later in “The Last Moment” an irretrievable breach divides man and animals — except for our dogs. “Dogs love people more than anything. They never really forgot how to talk to us.” I like that idea very much and in my experience with my own dogs, I find Crump’s words ringing true. And his words give us comfort as well. The unnamed school girl has lost her dog, but he stays with her still in her memory and in her dreams. In a gentle and wise explanation of our feeling of loss, Crump says to us, “Even when they reach the end of their time with us ... they tell us stories in our dreams.” “The Last Moment” has as its audience the very young, children who still have books read to them, children who might still mourn the loss of their canine companion.

children with bright, vivid colors that the small ones will find attractive and interesting. She even shows a daddy with a gigantic, funny, mustache, which I quite liked. Ken Crump spent his career with animals, helping to heal them and to relieve their suffering. His love and appreciation of animals and of dogs in particular come through on every page. Amy Abney has Isabel her dog for inspiration and four children of her own to delight with her art. Fanciers of a quality children’s book will find Mr. Crump at the Payson Book Festival on July 25 at the Gila Community College Payson campus. “The Last Moment” is available at Amazon.com.

to swap copper-rich federal lands for other property in southeast Arizona owned by a mining company. Renzi pressured the mining company to also purchase land near Fort Huachuca that was owned by Sandlin, who owed Renzi money. The first company backed away from the deal, and when another firm took over Renzi guaranteed that the landswap would be passed if the firm included Sandlin’s property in the deal. The sale went through and Sandlin paid Renzi more than $700,000, court documents said. Renzi was indicted in February 2008 on 32 counts relating to the deal, including money laundering, insurance fraud and extortion. He was convicted on 17 counts in 2013 and sentenced to 36 months in prison. Sandlin was convicted in 2013 on 13 felony offenses in connection with the deal, according to the Department of Justice. Renzi, who owned an insurance company, was also found to have “misappropriated clients’ insurance premiums” to the tune of $400,000 to finance his congressional campaign, according to the circuit court’s opinion on the case. Federal prosecutors said Renzi’s actions were an “abuse of the political process.”

National Immunization Awareness Month by
Mindy Strickling
payson regional medical center
Every year in August, National Immunization Awareness Month (NIAM) provides an opportunity to highlight the value of immunizations across the lifespan. The focus is on encouraging everyone to protect their health and the health of everyone around them by being vaccinated against infectious diseases. With school starting again very soon, this is a timely reminder for parents to make sure their children are property immunized. Why immunize?
Why immunize our children? The media sends confusing messages on this subject. First, they assure us that, thanks to vaccines, some diseases are almost entirely gone from the U.S. But then they warn us to immunize our children, ourselves as adults, and the elderly. Diseases are becoming rare due to vaccinations
It is true; some diseases, like polio and diphtheria, are becoming very rare in the U.S. Of course, they are becoming rare largely because we have been vaccinating against them for so long. However, it is still reasonable to ask whether it’s really worthwhile to keep vaccinating. It’s much like bailing out a boat with a slow leak. When we started bailing, the boat was filled with water. But we have been bailing fast and hard, and now it is almost dry. We could say, “Good. The boat is dry now, so we can throw away the bucket and relax.” But the leak hasn’t stopped. Before long we’d notice a little water seeping in, and soon it might be back up to the same level as when we started. Keep immunizing until disease is eliminated
Unless we can “stop the leak” (eliminate the disease), it is important to keep immunizing. Even if there are only a few cases of disease today, if we take away the protection given by vaccination, more and more people will become infected and will spread disease to others. Soon we will undo the progress we have made over the years. Japan reduced pertussis vaccinations, and an epidemic occurred. In 1974, Japan had a successful pertussis (whooping cough) vaccination program, with nearly 80 percent of Japanese children vaccinated. That year only 393 cases of pertussis were reported in the entire country, and there were no deaths from pertussis. But then rumors began to spread that pertussis vaccination was no longer needed and that the vaccine was not safe, and by 1976 only 10 percent of infants were getting vaccinated. In 1979 Japan suffered a major pertussis epidemic, with more than 13,000 cases of whooping

In 1981 the government began vaccinating with a cellular pertussis vaccine, and the number of pertussis cases dropped again. What if vaccinations stopped?
So what would happen if we stopped vaccinating here? Diseases that are almost unknown would stage a comeback. Before long we would see epidemics of diseases that are nearly under control today. More children would get sick and more would die. We vaccinate to protect our future
We don’t vaccinate just to protect our children. We also vaccinate to protect our grandchildren and their grandchildren. With one disease, smallpox, we “stopped the leak” in the boat by eradicating the disease. Our children don’t have to get smallpox shots anymore because the disease no longer exists. If we keep vaccinating now, parents in the future may be able to trust that diseases like polio and meningitis won’t infect, cripple, or kill children. Vaccinations are one of the best ways to put an end to the serious effects of certain diseases. Vaccine safety and adverse events
Vaccines work best when most members of a community are vaccinated — the more people who are vaccinated, the lower the possible risk of anyone’s exposure to vaccine-preventable diseases. Because vaccines must be safe
for use by as many people as possible, vaccines are developed in accordance with the highest standards of safety. Years of testing are required by law before a vaccine is licensed and distributed. Once in use, vaccines are continually monitored for safety and efficacy. As a result, the United States currently has the safest, most effective vaccine supply in history. However, as with any medical procedure, vaccination has some risks as well as substantial, proven benefits. Individuals react differently to vaccines, and there is no way to absolutely predict the reaction of a specific individual to a particular vaccine. Anyone who takes a vaccine should be fully informed about both the benefits and the risks of vaccination. Any questions or concerns should be discussed with a physician or other health care provider. Check with your local pharmacy for flu, shingles, pneumonia and tetanus vaccinations for adults. To get your child ready for back-to-school, schedule an appointment with their primary care provider. If you don’t have a provider, the Health Department in Payson will be hosting a vaccination clinic on Tuesday, July 21 through Thursday, July 23 at 107 S. Frontier St. They will have late hours, staying open until 7 p.m. for parents that work during the day. For additional hours, call the Health Department at (928) 474-1210.

A new bill (SB1401 takes effect July 15 that requires full disclosure from private caregivers and companies who provide in-home care services. According to the Arizona In-Home Care Association (AZNHA), this is a critical step in helping seniors and their families make informed choices in a growing but mostly unregulated industry. The law requires disclosure of background checks, on information training, cost of services and hiring/firing policies, from in-home caregivers and agencies on an annual basis. Failure to comply with the law will result in a Class 3 Misdemeanor and a maximum 30-day sentence. According to AZNHA President, Mark Young, “This bill will help protect the most vulnerable and fastest growing segment of our population: seniors. As more busy families are turning to in-home care for their loved ones, there has
never been a more urgent need to protect them from unexpected liabilities and other abuses.” Since 2007, the organization has been working with the Arizona Legislature to implement a methodology for requiring business standards in the home care industry, which would protect consumers as well as employees. The bill requires a disclosure form to be provided from in-home care companies to potential clients. The disclosure form is not required from specific home health services, senior living facilities and clients who receive services through a federal or state program including Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System, Arizona Long Term Care System or Division of Developmental Disabilities. For more information on AZNHA and SB1401, call (602) 283-3503, email info@aznha.org or visit www.aznha.org.

Schedule visits to the doctor, dentist and an eye doctor so your child is up to date upon the dawn of a new school year.
Put health screenings on back-to-school checklist As summer vacation winds down, thoughts turn from jaunts to the beach to readying for a new school year. To-do lists include many of the typical tasks that precede going back to the classroom, including shopping for new clothes, purchasing school supplies and finishing summer reading assignments. Another essential requirement parents must find time for is completing their children’s health screenings and immunizations so youngsters can return to school. Health screenings may include, but may not be limited to, routine physical exams, eye exams and dental cleanings. Each school district may have its own set of health requirements that must be met in order for children to attend school. Many schools require that children are up-to-date with all immunizations before they can begin a new school year. While the issue of vaccinations has inspired debate in recent years, parents should recognize that many schools will only exempt students from receiving certain vaccinations due to religious reasons. For a list of state vaccination requirements and possible exemptions for schools in the United States, visit www2a.cdc. gov/nip/schoolsurv/schImmRqmt. asp. Students who have specific learning disabilities or medical conditions that require classroom modification should obtain recent documentation from any therapists or specialists prior to begin-
ning a new school year. Doing so facilitates the process of setting up procedures within the school while ensuring children have what they need to excel in the classroom. All parents may want to ask doctors to provide copies of medical and immunization records so that schools will have the most recent copies on file. Parents should schedule eye examinations well in advance of the first day of school so they have ample time to fill new prescriptions for youngsters before school begins. This ensures kids won’t be starting off on the wrong foot because of vision problems that could already have been addressed. Parents of adolescents or students on the verge of adolescence may want to address the subject of bodily changes before the school year begins anew. Address which changes can be expected, including the start of menstruation for girls. This will help children better understand what is happening when they witness changes in themselves and fellow classmates and give them a chance to receive accurate information rather than gossip from their peers. Keep in mind that health screenings conducted in advance of the school year may not preclude students from school-sponsored screenings. Schools may offer their own vision and hearing screenings and may take physical measurements to ensure students are growing on schedules in line with normal development.

Birds 3, me 0. I’m not doing so good. At least I’ll have a strong heart and sharp nervous system. A study published in PLoS Medicine reported that people who eat a diet high in fruits and veggies, including berries could overcome a genetic predisposition to heart disease. Researchers looked at diet and heart attack numbers among 27,000 people of diverse backgrounds and found that loading up on fruits and vegetables seems to modify the genetic risk carried in the 9p21 gene, known to be related to heart disease. Berries also help protect against the neurological disease Parkinson’s. People who eat at least two servings of berries a week have a 25 percent lower chance of developing Parkinson’s disease than those who don’t, according to research published in the journal Neurology. That same research showed that men with the highest intake of flavonoids — which are abundant in berries — reduced their risk of Parkinson’s by 40 percent. Oh and one more thing — berries can control my blood sugar. Scientists have shown that strawberries, in particular, reduce blood sugar and insulin levels after meals. Scientists believe a key antioxidant in strawberries blocks the activity of an enzyme responsible for breaking starch into simple sugar. With fewer simple sugars cruising around the blood stream, blood sugar lowers and keeps the insulin response from occurring. OK. So, with my increased mental acuity and health I’ve figured out the perfect solution. Frying the critters. So I’ll buy a flamethrower and fire-protective suit and once and for all rid my garden of these pests. But a disturbing thought occurred to me as I headed down to Home Depot to find out whether they have any flamethrower sales on their schedule. Can I ever outsmart those birds if they’re eating more berries than me?

ASK THE
PHARMACIST Summer insect bites and stings Insect bites in Arizona, and specifically in Payson, tend to be less frequent than in many other areas of the United States. We still, though, are exposed to some unique creatures that can cause us all some discomfort or even some serious consequences. Bites and stings can often result in redness and swelling in the injured area. Sometimes a bite or sting can cause life-threatening allergic reactions or even transmit infection-causing pathogens (viruses or bacteria) to humans. The most common cause of bite or sting problems is the substance injected or left after a bite or sting by an insect, usually composed of proteins that cause an allergic reaction by the human body. Treatment
Serious reactions present themselves as more than just a rash or redness at the site. These reactions progress to a spread of rash throughout the body, shortness of breath, chest pain, faintness or weakness, or even signs of infection. If these

reactions occur, a visit to the emergency department or a call to 911 should be made immediately. Treatment may begin with epinephrine, diphenhydramine, and steroids. Prognosis improves the sooner treatment is provided. Treatment for less serious bites or stings starts with cleansing the area with soap and water. You may treat the site of the bite or sting with an over-the-counter antihistamine such at Benadryl (Diphenhydramine) in either a cream or tablet form. Another nice option is Hydrocortisone cream or Calamine lotion, these work great on itching and redness. Feel free to question your pharmacist for the many different options available. Cold packs or ice applied intermittently work great to reduce swelling and pain. Insect bites and stings are not something to be taken lightly when they happen. Continue to observe the affected area regularly, the first 24 hours being the most important. Remember to not hesitate if conditions worsen: contact a health care provider as soon as possible.

Town adds pep rally to Tontozona week Tontozona and World’s Old Continuous Rodeo set for different weeks this summer by
Keith Morris
roundup sports editor
ASU players go through a drill during their week at Camp Tontozona last summer.
Keith Morris/Roundup
No more sharing. For at least one year anyway. After converging on Rim Country the same week the past three years, two of the biggest events this area hosts each year get their own week this summer. Arizona State University’s football team’s five-day stay at Camp Tontozona just northeast of Payson this year is a week ahead of the World’s Oldest Continuous Rodeo. The Sun Devils will practice at the ASU-owned facility Aug. 11-15, while the rodeo takes place Aug. 20-22. “That’s just how it worked out on the calendar,” said Parks, Recreation and Tourism Director Cameron Davis. “The third full weekend in August is traditionally when the rodeo is and it’s usually around those same dates when the NCAA allows coaches to start (full-contact) practice. So those dates usually coincide with each other.”

Davis is thrilled the way things worked out this year. “It created a great thing for the town of Payson where we’re going to have two great events on two consecutive weekends,” he said. “We’re excited about that. Obviously we have two groups now that can come and spread out a bit and the town can enjoy two big weekends instead of one monster weekend.” He said splitting the two events to different weeks makes it easier for the business community. “Having both on the same weekend has been tough for everybody to deal with everybody coming in,” Davis said. “We’re excited. Businesses will be able to accommodate the crowds coming in.” New for Camp Tontozona Week this year is an ASU Pep Rally at Green Valley Park from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., Friday, Aug. 14. The free event features Sun Devils’ mascot Sparky, the Sun Devil Spirit Squad, food vendors, live music and NFL Combine-style games/
challenges for kids and adults, as well as former ASU players signing autographs, including former Dallas Cowboys star Danny White. “With this the only event for that week, the town is putting our muscle behind the Pep Rally and working with the ASU Marketing Department, who are putting their full resources behind promoting it to their alumni network,” Davis said. “This is being billed as the kickoff to the ASU Sun Devils’ football season. Danny White will be here and give a speech and sign autographs and we’re working on several other names. And we’re hoping for some surprises.” Among the expected highlights is Native Air flying Sparky to the event. Davis said the band, Zero Gravity Fighters, should add to the festive atmosphere. “They’ve got a really great sound,” he said. “They’re kind of a younger group, so they sing all the new pop-type music, so I think the kids will love it.”

very few fish in these two streams where in years past there was an abundance of catchables in the 9- to 12-inch range with an occasional 2-pounder lurking in the shadows. I knew something was not right. On Thursday and Friday during the late afternoon just prior to the threeday Independence holiday I visited both creeks and found very few stocked rainbows ready for the thousands of weekend anglers who were going to try their luck at catching a campfire fish dinner. The next couple of days I hiked the same shoreline and found very few anglers with even one trout on their stringer. Where are the fish, I can’t even see one in the crystal clear water of Tonto Creek? The bottom line is that the trout are not there, because they are not being stocked in the numbers of previous years. The all too familiar Arizona Game and Fish stock truck is not making the weekly rounds and replenishing these two creeks with the numbers of rainbows needed for the crowds of weekend anglers.

Mesa Road bucketing fish from the First Crossing all the way to the pump station everyone in all the small subdivisions along the way know the river will have more fish for the recreational anglers. In previous years the weekly number of catchable rainbows exceeded 600 fish for the 14 miles of fishable trout water. Since the pumps have been turned on, the weekly number has dwindled to about 100 fish! Likewise, Tonto Creek is averaging about 120 fish per week, where it had over 600 fish being stocked weekly. It is no surprise when most anglers are not catching any fish or even seeing one swimming in one of the many pools. Recently, three experienced anglers fished a quarter mile of the East Verde where the highest concentration of rainbows have been in the past seasons and the results were one trout caught and two other hits. If there were trout in that water, they would have caught them, these guys are that good! The reality is that there are very few trout in the East Verde, and the rainbows that are in the creek are triploids that are sterile, not able to naturally spawn and reproduce. The information I have, is that there is a research study project that has been ongoing for a year, which has called for a drastic reduction in the number of trout being stocked in these two popular creeks. The immediate results are far fewer trout being caught by all levels of anglers, particularly the beginners. Speaking as a former coach, “Success Breeds Success.” These young anglers need to have some initial success in catching trout, if that happens they will be the license holders of the future. As adults they will return to those places where fond memories were made. This is one research study that if continued will be very costly to the future of

sport fishing. The East Verde River is the perfect creek to create an interest for youngsters in fishing, provided they have some success in catching a trout. It is one of the closest mountain trout waters to the Valley where memories are made by catching a fighting rainbow. When those young anglers, accompanied by parents or grandparents, catch that first trout, chances are good they can get hooked on fishing for the next generation. This weekend take a child fishing, and enjoy the Rim Country, God’s creation.

A tiny corner store in Straw berry might be the last place you would think to find a design er purse, rhinestone jeans and boots, a healthy selection of emergency survival food, educa tional toys and a saddle. But that is just how owners Casey and Debbie Faunce designed the DC Cross Mercantile, better known as the Strawberry Market. “We have a little bit of every thing,” they said, standing in the brightly lit, open store at the cor ner of State Route 87 and Fossil Creek Road. The couple has heard custom ers comment so often that the store has everything that they stamped the saying on their busi ness cards. They bought the property in November and after some spruc ing up, opened several months ago. The store had been closed for two years, its last incarnation was as a convenience store. The Faunces expanded on the convenience store model, but added in tons of other products, some expected, like drinks and snacks and others new, like a full line of animal products. The couple had a similar store in Wilcox, but with a larger selec tion of animal feed. After years there, they decided they wanted a cooler place to call home and after driving around the state and into Colorado looking for a place to set up shop, they settled on Strawberry, which offered a small-town feel, but big-town amenities nearby. The couple, married five years, met when their careers crossed paths. He worked for the Graham County Parks and Recreation and she worked with horses and the University of Arizona 4-H Cooperative Extension. Together, they have 60-plus years of experience working with horses.

Another corner is stocked with Melissa and Doug toys; racks of Rock Revival and Miss Me jeans; Tin Haul cowboy boots; hunting and fishing supplies in the center of the shop, ammunition, BB guns, slingshots, cowboy hats, jewelry, children’s clothes, local honey and saddles from Circle Y, Tex Tan, Dale Chavez and Billy Cook.

One thing that has not sur prised them is the number of people stopping for supplies on their way to Fossil Creek. “We are the last stop before
Fossil Creek to grab ice, drinks, food, camping supplies, flash lights, sunscreen, footwear, caps and clothing.” When they are not in the store, the couple is fixing up four hotel rooms, which are attached to the store. They hope to open the Fossil Creek Inn in the com ing weeks, each with a unique

To celebrate almost 10 years in business, Alan Roeder of Mountain Water Systems changed his phone number. Roeder has installed water softening and filtering systems throughout the Rim Country to remove bad smells, tastes or annoying deposits on glasses for just about a decade. Water systems struggle with Rim Country water. Minerals cause many of those problems, but bacteria can lurk at the heart of them all. “Some things I can determine
by looking,” he said. “The back of the bowl will have brown or black stains — that would indicate high iron. If there are major issues, I’ll send my samples to a water chemist for further testing.” Customers report their sys tems running much more smooth ly and efficiently after Roeder installs his system. As an added bonus, Roeder uses potassium instead of the traditional sodium to soften the water. “It’s friendlier to the environ ment and you don’t have the extra sodium in your diet,” he said.

Design the sign From page 1A found no underlying evidence of a major settlement. The Alliance had agreed to set aside $540,000 to guarantee completion of the archaeological work. However, the lack of buried ruins suggests the ultimate price may be closer to $220,000. Backers originally feared the archaeological work would hold up closing the land sale for months. However, the Alliance and Tonto National Forest struck a deal that would allow filing of the quitclaim deed as soon as the field work was finished, but before completion of the full report on the findings. The completion of the field work on the archaeological study clears the last hurdle to completing the land sale, which has consumed nearly four years — including more than a year to first draw up the guidelines for an independent appraisal and then do the appraisal itself. The Alliance could write the check for the $4.1 million balance any time the Forest Service gets legal approval from the regional office in Albuquerque, said Evans. The money will come from the Foundation, which was created by the MHA Foundation. As it turns out, the MHA Foundation has just completed a merger with Banner Health Systems, which will turn over to Banner control of Payson Regional Medical Center. Banner donated $40 million to MHA Foundation to secure the deal, giving MHA plenty of money to launch the university project.
MHA Foundation provided the money for the archaeological work through the Educational Foundation, which it created. The Alliance agreed to share title with the Educational Foundation in return for the advance of the money. Eventually, the Alliance will borrow money to repay the Foundation. This will give the seed money for the Arizona Aspire Foundation, charged with keeping the cost of attending the Payson campus as low as possible. Tonto National Forest Supervisor Neil Bosworth has promised to complete the sale through the quitclaim deed “soon.” The finalization of the sale will represent the next major step in the university project, which could come at almost any time — depending on the response of the Forest Service’s lawyers. Then the Alliance will have to finalize its deal with Arizona State University — or some alternative university partner. The winning sign design conspicuously omitted the name of that university partner. Sources close to the negotiations have said that ASU remains committed to the project, but did not want to sign a binding agreement until the Alliance had control of the land, which would free the project from additional, indefinite delays. Alliance board members say they have reached agreement with ASU on all the major terms, including a guarantee of some $10 million to ensure ASU won’t suffer operating losses on the first, 1,500-student phase of the campus in case students enroll at too slow a pace to

cover its costs. The Alliance would retain control of the dorms and the revenue they generate. The Alliance would also work to generate other spinoff projects, like a conference hotel and research park — which would generate more money to
keep the costs of attending the campus as low as possible. Alliance members say they know of no major issues that would prevent a final deal with ASU this summer. They hope to start work on the site later this year, with infrastructure like streets, electricity,
water and sewers coming first. Evans said that ASU has raised no objection to a proposal that would allow the University of Arizona to operate some kind of program on the university footprint, perhaps a telemedicine program.
Payson not offering key advanced classes again this year From page 1A This year, in place of AP physics and chemistry, the high school will offer two sections of AP biology. Other AP classes include AP statistics, AP English language and literature, AP history, AP art and AP calculus. Mabb said he has opened up talks with Gila Community College to create dual credit classes, to fill the gap. He said PHS will start with chemistry. The Arizona Legislature has numerous requirements to call a class a dual credit course. The course may be taught on another campus other than the college.
The cost of the class is covered by tuition. Unlike high school teachers, the instructor does not have to have a teaching credential as they would to teach high school classes, but they must have a master’s in the subject they teach. Dual credit courses are different from courses students take at the college on their own. Those are technically called concurrent credit courses. With those types of courses, a student may take one subject at another school, such as GCC, and receive graduation credit from the high school. For example, some students have taken a year of English at GCC or anoth-
er community college, but then may not take any other community college English courses and expect to receive graduation credit from PHS. At a recent GCC board meeting, the board heard from Payson Campus Dean Pam Butterfield that before PUSD signs off on a dual credit course, the district hopes to find some way to have the tuition covered. So far, they have had no luck. The high school has also created a suite of other enrichment options with a new schedule that will allow students time to access these activities as well. “We have collapsed the two, 45-minute lunches into a one-hour lunch,” said

Mabb. “This allows everyone an opportunity to help students who need help. Clubs can be meeting. We can have co-ed activities. We’re planning on a co-ed basketball team. The purpose is to extend the social and emotional experiences for students. Some teachers would like extended labs and work. We have so many people that want to do so many things and there is not enough time.” Mabb also said he has cleaned up the library by removing out-of-date books and computers to make space for a 3-D printer, recently published popular fiction books and chrome books. “We want students to be creative and… explore and create independent-
ly,” said Mabb. He excitedly explained about a new software program that will encourage students to create their own applications (apps) for phones. “It should be pretty innovative,” he said. “Students may use their own (phone) or donations of phones... program it and see what it does.” Mabb hopes to keep students involved in voicing what they need by inviting them to site council meetings and supporting the spirit programs initiated by last year’s senior class. “Student-driven, supported by the adults” is Mabb’s new motto.

KMOG station owner Mike Farrell (in black hat, above) has obtained permission to move his FM radio antenna to a town-owned water tower, where it shares space with the FM antenna for KRIM, partly owned by Payson Town Councilor Chris Higgins. The two station owners have come into conflict in recent months after years of close cooperation. Farrell denies making an obscene phone call to KRIM, although Higgins says the recording sounds like Farrell and came from KMOG.
KMOG shifts antenna to Payson-owned site by

roundup staff reporter
At its last meeting, the Payson Town Council approved placing a new FM antenna on the Hillcrest water tank, boosting KMOG’s service throughout town. Station owner Mike Farrell said the new antenna would double KMOG’s coverage, improving the FM signal in outlying areas and in town where service can be intermittent in some buildings. The station had to move the antenna to Hillcrest to comply with Federal Communication Commission requirements. The town recently approved a new FM antenna on the same water tank for KRIM radio, which parted ways with KMOG after years
of working out of the same space off Tyler Parkway. Farrell said the station had to show the FCC that the FM antenna was not interfering with the AM antenna and instead of spending $40,000 to demonstrate a lack of interference, the station elected to move the FM antenna altogether, which is not only cheaper, but brings with it better service. Buzz Walker, with the town, explained to the council that Hillcrest is one of the few sites in town that is a good place to put an antenna or transmission tower given the area’s hilly terrain. Over the years, various companies have placed antennas there, including a pager company. With the addition of KMOG, Walker suggested clos-
ing the tank to any new towers since it is getting too crowded. The council agreed. Farrell hopes to have the new antenna in place within 30 days, pending FCC approval. KMOG’s program lineup includes daily local news and sports reports, Trades N Sales, Country Gold and Country Crossroads. In the future, Farrell would like to offer high definition radio. Several Valley stations already offer HD channels, which are available for reception in newer model vehicles. HD would let the 103.3 station operate on five channels. Farrell envisions offering classic rock on one of those channels, country classics on another, elevator/nostalgia music on another and leasing
out the other spaces, possibly for a religious channel. That dream is several years down the road as well as offering stereo AM. Farrell said a huge proportion of listeners still tune in on 1420 AM. For many, they just like AM better and it is what they have always been listening in on, he said. Farrell, who bought KMOG in 1989, said he wishes KRIM nothing but the best as it re-launches from a new location off the Beeline Highway. He denied leaving an obscene message on KRIM’s voice mail, which KRIM’s Chris Higgins claimed he received from KMOG according to caller ID. “I wish them all the best,” Farrell said.
O B I T U A R I E S Dorothy Marie “Dee” Murray Carpenter (2015)
Dorothy Marie “Dee” M u r r a y Carpenter, age 85, of P a y s o n , Ariz., passed away peacefully of natural causes as well as a long struggle with breast cancer at Payson’s Rim Country Health Care Center in the late afternoon of Sunday, July 5, 2015. She was preceded in death by her late husband, Colonel Duane L. Carpenter (USAF); and her parents, Lillie Reams Murray and Isaac “Mason” Murray of Danville, Ill.; as well as her other 10 siblings. She is survived by her two daughters, Sheri Lynn Carpenter Oyler, 59, of Arlington Heights, Ill., and Kathryn Kay Carpenter Haught, 54, of Payson, Ariz.; grandchildren, Jennifer Dawn Soto (42), Korey Joe Carpenter (29), Chipper Dwight “Chip” Haught (35), Kathryn Samantha “Kassie” Haught (33); great-grandchildren (12); and one great-great-granddaughter. Dorothy relocated from Scottsdale, Ariz. when she moved to Star Valley, Ariz. in 1973 and purchased Carlsbad Tavern renaming it “The Spur Bar.” She also purchased the “Star Valley Restaurant” three years later in 1976. She owned several other restaurants and retired from the restaurant business in 1998.
She was an active member of the Moose Lodge and American Legion. She loved country music, dancing, gardening, her two shih tzus and prospecting and panning for gold. The family wishes to express their appreciation to the caregivers at Rim Country Health and Hospice Compassus located in Payson, Ariz. They also would like to thank all the family friends that came to support her in her final earthly precious moments. Her burial was held at the old Payson Pioneer Cemetery, Payson, Ariz. on the afternoon of Friday, July 10, 2015 in a private ceremony with close friends and family. There will be a public memorial and celebration of life on Aug. 3, 2016 for her 86th birthday at Messinger’s Funeral Home Chapel located at 901 S. Westerly Rd., Payson, AZ 85541.
