Unsettled monsoon conditions have set in, mingling welcome moisture with deadly lightning strikes and a rash of new fires.

The clouds, humidity and unpredictable storms will likely continue through the weekend, with a 20 percent chance of rain every day through next Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service.

Lightning killed a 17-year-old boy on top of Mt. Humphreys on Wednesday and badly injured two companions.

In addition, at 10 a.m., Wednesday, lightning started the Webber Fire burning east of Pine on Milk Ranch Point.

The fire started after a monsoonal storm

rolled in Wednesday, bringing with it lots of lightning there and around the state.

In Pine, ground crews were pulled off the fire near Milk Ranch Point due to the lightning.

Thanks to half an inch of rain the area received Tuesday, the fire was spreading slowly, said William Dudley with the U.S. Forest Service, who spoke to the Roundup by phone from the scene.

When crews returned Thursday morning, the fire had grown to five acres, burning moderately through heavy vegetation.

As of press time Thursday, the fire was at 0 percent containment and expected to grow in size.

On scene were a Hotshot crew, two

by

engines, two helicopters and a 10-person fire module.

Lightning strikes proved fatal for one of three teenagers who had managed to hike to the nearly 12,600-foot-elevation top of Mt. Humphreys near Flagstaff, the highest point in the state.

Two other males, ages 17 and 18, were transported to Flagstaff Medical Center with injuries likely received due to their proximity to the lightning strike. The two injured hikers were conscious and walking when emergency responders reached them. The three hikers are from the Tempe.

The continued lightning strikes initially delayed rescue operations and kept aircraft grounded.

During an emotionally charged court session, a Payson man was sentenced to 2.25 years in prison for beating up his ex-girlfriend.

Domestic violence victim advocates in purple shirts lined one side of the small Payson courtroom Monday morning while the family of Jay Joseph Landry, 34, stood on the other side. Onlookers occupied every chair in the courtroom.

Landry’s family and friends sobbed as Judge Tim Wright sentenced Landry to 2.25 years

in prison for aggravated domestic violence/assault.

The victim did not speak.

Duncan Rose, with the Gila County Attorney’s Office, said Landry had badly beaten up the woman. The prosecutor asked the court to send a message that women cannot be treated as punching bags.

In February, Landry ran into his ex-girlfriend and she invited him to her hotel room, according to a pre-sentence report.

During the night, Landry grew verbally abusive. When the woman tried to leave, he

GCC hopes dwindle with its enrollment by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

The $6 million question for Gila Community College — can it run independently? And will $6 million even suffice for the provisional college district in the face of plunging enrollment?

Ryan Harper, of Triadvocates, GCC’s lobbying firm in Phoenix, said, “the whole idea is that when we flip that switch ... costs will go up,” said Harper.

Harper presented the findings of a Senate Task Force on Provisional Community Colleges started in 2010 and completed in 2011. The committee looked at independence from all angles — financial, organizational, and enrollment. Currently, GCC contracts with Eastern Arizona College to provide its accreditation, paying the Safford-based district about $1 million annually, which leaves it with little direct control of its staff or programs.

The task force researched an alternate pathway for GCC to reach independence, looked at a timeline for accreditation and outlined a 10-year budget model.

In 2011, the Arizona Legislature passed SB 1213, which removed roadblocks that had made it impossible for GCC to ever become independent. But the financial obstacles remain formiTHE WEATHER

dable, according to the recent report to the GCC board.

The board has already put together an application packet to its accreditation organization. Now GCC needs to understand if independence is a pipe dream or a real possibility.

For years, GCC has wrestled with the idea of acting as an independent community college. As a provisional college, GCC not only doesn’t have control over its own programs — it doesn’t get the extra help from the state most other college districts in the state receive. However, that extra help has dwindled statewide as a result of relentless cuts in state support for community colleges by the Legislature.

Currently, GCC is one of two provisional community colleges in Arizona.

A provisional community college means they must lease out accreditation from another institution. GCC has partnered with EAC. Without that partnership, GCC students couldn’t transfer units to other educational institutions. Their degrees would mean nothing.

The Legislature turned GCC into a provisional community college because they did not wish to pay equalization funds provided to many rural college districts to make up for their lack of a property tax base.

The Arizona State University Sun Devils will come to Tontozona early this year to stress team building.

Sun Devils come early to Tontozona

by

Keith Morris

roundup sports editor

Way back when, Arizona State University’s football team starting holding its preseason practices at Camp Tontozona near Christopher Creek to escape the demands of technology — including television, telephones and the endless distractions likely to keep the team from bonding and focusing.

But now technology has determined the schedule.

ASU has added an Internet booster to Tontozona.

As a result, Coach Todd Graham decided to move the team’s annual stay at the remote location from late in the practice schedule to the first week of practice, a plan he’s nurtured since 2012 when he took over as head coach.

“The problem was since he might have 20 or 25 kids in summer school to get ahead and there was no Internet there allowing for online courses, the team couldn’t go up until summer classes ended,” said ASU

Associate Athletic Director Mark Brand.

However, the athletic department received funding to set up Internet at the site, allowing student-athletes to take tests or submit homework from the camp.

Players are still not allowed to use cellphones during their stay and the same goes for the general public. But most don’t bother, given the poor cellphone reception in the picturesque location off of Highway 260.

The team should arrive at Camp T on Tuesday, Aug. 2, with morning practices at 8:30-11 a.m., Wednesday through Friday. The camp ends with a Maroon & Gold Practice at 9:30 a.m.-noon on Saturday, Aug. 6.

The trip to Camp T is meant to be a team-building experience for the Sun Devils. However, the two-a-day practice schedule later in the season didn’t leave a lot of time for those fun kinds of experiences like games, exploring and sitting around the campfire.

Lightning this week triggered the 14,000-acre Fuller Fire in Grand Canyon National Park. The nearly 600 firefighters battling the blaze got help from monsoon rains. Meanwhile, the National Forest Foundation and Salt River Project have a plan that could generate big tax benefits for forest thinning projects — based on the smoke they will take out of the atmosphere. NASA estimates that heat-trapping gases from pollution and fires could raise average global temperatures by 12 degrees by the end of this century. The new methodology relies on using carbon credits to help pay for forest thinning projects.

WE CAN HELP YOU KNOCK OUT YOUR HIGH UTILITY BILL

Thin a forest.

Haul away some carbon.

Get a tax credit.

The National Forest Foundation (NFF) now hopes it can convince the American Carbon Registry to approve its formulas showing how much a forest-thinning project in Arizona can reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases.

If the innovative calculations check out, companies that undertake forest-thinning projects like the landmark Four Forest Restoration Initiative could get tax credits — although the United States remains largely outside the international system for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by buying and selling carbon credits.

Extensive research suggests that release of heat-trapping gases through coal-fired plants, fires, trucks, cars and other sources is causing average temperatures to rise globally. An assessment of studies on the warming trend by NASA concluded the pollutants will increase average temperatures globally by somewhere between 2 and 6 degrees centigrade (3-12 degrees Fahrenheit) by the end of this century, with unpredictable effects on sea level, farming, climate, the economy, shorelines and the ice caps.

If approved, the National Forest Foundation system could provide verified carbon offsets from forest restoration projects on national forest lands in the southwestern U.S. The NFF and Salt River Project developed the methodology based on extensive

research focused on the differences in longterm carbon storage between forests that have been restored and those that have not. The research suggests that old-growth forests can lock up carbon for centuries in giant trees, but high-intensity crown fires release huge amounts of carbon all at once — sometimes burning even massive, centuries-old trees to ash.

The methodology was co-authored

by Katharyn Woods, Ph.D. candidate at Northern Arizona University and Spencer Plumb, Ph.D. candidate at University of Idaho.

“The basic concept is that through forest restoration we can reduce the risk of high-severity fires, preventing the release of large amounts of carbon dioxide from forests to the atmosphere,” explained Plumb. “The methodology provides a way to accurately estimate the avoided emissions of carbon dioxide from fires and the amount of additional carbon dioxide that restored forests will continue to soak up.”

Studies in the ponderosa pine forest of Arizona suggest that crown fires often work permanent changes in the soil, so that the big trees never do recover.

The methodology concluded a project developer can generate verified carbon offsets from restoration projects on public lands in Arizona or elsewhere in the Southwest. The carbon offsets can then be sold to help pay down the cost of restoration treatments. Using the methodology, corporations will be able to work with the NFF to invest in forest health projects on public lands, and in exchange receive locally generated carbon offsets. These offsets provide corporations and other entities

with a tangible means for achieving environmental sustainability targets, such as carbon neutrality.

“This new financial mechanism could make a valuable contribution to accelerating forest restoration in Arizona and across the Southwest,” said Marcus Selig, Southern Rockies Region director for the NFF. “Millions of acres of our national forests are in need of restoration, but the high financial costs of restoration activities jeopardize the U.S. Forest Service’s ability to implement necessary treatments.”

“The water that fills the reservoirs in SRP’s water system starts as snow and rain in the forests of northern Arizona,” said Bruce Hallin, SRP’s director of water supply. “Reducing the risk of wildfire in the forested lands in the Salt and Verde river watersheds protects these vital water supplies for residents and businesses in central Arizona. The proposed carbon offset methodology provides an innovative approach that can incentivize forest restoration in and around the watersheds that feed our surface water supplies.”

There will be an online presentation about the methodology at noon on July 26.

Interested parties can read the methodology and register for the webinar at http:// americancarbonregistry.org/carbon-accounting/standards-methodologies/southwestern-forest-restoration-reduced-emissions-from-decreased-wildfire-severity-and-forest-conversion. The webinar will be recorded and made available throughout comment period by the NFF. Contact Spencer Plumb at splumb@nationalforests.org to access the webinar after July 26.

with the GCSO to provide law enforcement services for the town.

The new contract covers the remainder of the 2016-17 fiscal year and will not increase in cost over the annual $383,273 fee in the original contract, already extended by a year.

However, Star Valley will face incremental increases in each of following years through FY 2019-20. At the conclusion of the contract, the services would cost the town $444,127.

Councilor Barbara Hartwell asked if the town had completely abandoned having its own police force.

Grier said although the council discussed that option, no one told him to pursue it.

Hartwell questioned that, but McDaniel backed up the town manager’s recollection.

INFO 928-485-0437 WWW.FIRINGPIN.COM

Both Councilors Gary Coon and George Binney said the town looked into the possibility years ago, before concluding Star Valley couldn’t afford its own police department.

Hartwell pressed, asking for a cost estimate.

Marcanti said that HaydenWinkelman, which is smaller than Star Valley, spends $900,000 annually on its police department. Shepherd said that’s double what Star Valley would pay.

“While negotiations have been difficult with the loss of (the photo enforcement) revenue, I believe Gila County is our best answer. They provide good service to us,” Grier said.

The state Legislature this year banned speed cameras on state highways, which will likely cost Star Valley about a

quarter of its revenue.

The council also raised concerns about whether the state Department of Public Safety should do more to patrol S.R. 260 through Star Valley.

Shepherd said he believes the sheriff will end up patrolling the highway in Star Valley, in spite of the statutory “requirement” for DPS to patrol state highways and investigate accidents that occur on them.

Coon said the state did agree to extend the lower speed limit further west on 260. He added he would like to see the state put up more signs on the east side, warning drivers of the reduced speed through town.

“The DPS issue will not make a difference in contract price,” Grier said.

Prepared for the worst Schools update disaster planning by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

Once again, Susan Campbell, emergency preparedness coordinator for the Payson Unified School District, has presented better emergency plans for the district.

Since 2014, Campbell has worked to prepare the district for emergencies ranging from a bee swarm to a fire.

New this year, further standardizing the response protocol to make a difference in functions versus hazards. “A function is a specific plan with four functions for people to understand,” she said.

Those four functions are: Lockout: secure the perimeter — used to make sure a threat cannot enter a school.

Evacuation: Move children and staff members from the school site to an announced location — used for fires or other.

Lockdown: a complete shutdown that locks students in rooms, turns off lights and gets students out of sight — used for a shooter.

Shelter-In-Place: a hazard and safety strategy that allows teaching to continue — used for a bee swarm.

Campbell said the organization, “I Love U Guys,” provided the district with well-designed posters for classrooms and handouts for parents that spell out the four different functions then lists the various hazards covered under each function.

“The materials are fantastic,” she said.

Parents will receive the handouts during registration and open houses.

Also new this year — how to handle threats called into a school. Campbell explained that staff has been taught not to hang up the phone, which will help authorities identify if the call is real.

Campbell explained that a

Payson Unified School District Emergency Preparedness Coordinator Susan Campbell won board approval for the update to the plan for dealing with everything from a swarm of killer bees to the on-campus rampage of a lone shooter. new game called “swatting” has spread across the country, which poses new challenges.

This new pastime of kids has added a challenge to threats on a school.

“It’s a game,” she said.

“They call in bomb threats (or other threats) to schools they don’t even know about.”

She said the purpose of the game is to see how much publicity the threat receives.

With satellite photos or Google Earth, these kids can direct school staff to fear a shooter is coming in a certain gate — or that a bomb is located in an auditorium.

Recently, a young man swatted the Flagstaff school district from his parents’ attic in New York State.

Campbell said this year she will work on creating a unique safety protocol for the Payson High School Auditorium, especially since many groups outside of the school use that facility.

“We’re hoping by January we will have everything in

place,” she said. “We have to make sure we don’t have everyone pile out and limit first responders.”

Campbell said the district still needs more training to prepare more incident commanders and get the staff comfortable with emergency procedures.

During the year, Campbell said she also attended public information officer training and a conference through the Safety Consortium.

“It’s amazing; It makes you so much more aware of just how fragile the whole system is,” she said.

Once school starts, the district will continue with school drills practicing for evacuations and lockdowns.

Despite all of the work, Campbell told the board she’s honored to help make the district a safer place.

“It’s an honor to have this entrusted to me,” she said. “It’s a passion of mine.”

The board unanimously approved the Emergency Response Plan.

College ponders independence From page 1 Equalization funds sought to balance the funding between property-tax-rich districts, such as Maricopa Community College, and property tax poor districts, such as rural GCC. GCC’s journey toward independence has confronted political challenges. Former board members wished to keep the relationship with EAC going, while other board members fought for independence.

Harper’s presentation outlined a challenging road for the GCC board to travel to achieve independence.

That includes attracting enough enrollment to fulfill the state requirements, finding enough funding to pay for overhead, and reaching an acceptable faculty-to-student ratio.

Currently, GCC relies heavily on part-time, adjunct faculty — who get paid about a third what they would earn at places like Mesa Community College.

“This is a very important question to this board — to remain provisional or become independent,” said Harper.

Harper said that when the committee met in 2010, GCC had just hit record enrollment after years of steady growth.

Enrollment had peaked. The district at that point had more than 1,100 full-time student equivalent, which comes from

dividing the total number of units taken and dividing by about 12, a full-time load. The college has a higher “head count,” since most students take only a couple of classes per semester. As it turns out, 900 FTSE was the threshold enrollment set for the state under the new rules for a college to gain accreditation.

Since that time, increases in tuition have significantly affected enrollment and GCC has seen its FTSE drop below 900. Currently, it’s closer to 600 FTSE. “In 2010 GCC had well north of 1,100 FTSE,” said Harper.

“Looking at FTSE in 2017 that would be double what it is today.”

Harper said before GCC seeks independence, it needs to seriously take a look at why enrollment has dropped.

“You really need to go back to the FTSE slide,” he said.

“You need to figure out the decreasing enrollment.”

Board member Jerry McCreary agreed with Harper.

“I think it is very important to go out and talk with our community because we’ve had a tremendous amount of people that believe we’re not supplying the educational needs of the community,” he said.

But the board has not ignored the enrollment problem. Both McCreary and board

member Jan Brocker serve on a sub-committee researching enrollment.

Another issue — disparity in funding.

Harper explained that if GCC seeks independence, the district could raise property taxes under state statute.

“The legislation which we passed in 2011 to create the alternative pathway (to independence) allows provisional districts to reset its maximum levy,” he said. “GCC’s governing board has the option to refer to a general election ballot a question asking Gila County voters to approve an increase in the maximum levy.”

Talk of any property tax increase has the potential to rile up voters, so GCC board president Jay Spehar made a point to say the board is just researching options at this point.

“In my opinion, one of the board’s key responsibilities is to ensure that we provide our students and taxpayers with quality and cost effective educational services,” he said in an email, “to that end, the board is following its strategic plan initiative by investigating GCC’s organizational options for the future.”

Harper said the report from the task force simply serves only as a proposal. It is not a blueprint for a plan.

The training will be provided by state certified instructor Leah Rife.

We must never accept this violence

• July 21, 1775: Patriot minutemen in whaleboats raid Little Brewster Island, in Boston Harbor.

The raiders temporarily drove off the island’s British guard before burning the wooden parts of the point’s lighthouse. Ten days later, 300 minutemen returned to the island to prevent the British from making repairs.

• July 24, 1911: American archaeologist Hiram Bingham gets his first look at Machu Picchu, an ancient Inca settlement in Peru.

The site itself stretches for 5 miles, with over 3,000 stone steps linking its many levels. Today, more than 300,000 people visit every year.

• July 22, 1923: John Dillinger joins the Navy in order to avoid charges of auto theft. A decade later, Dillinger’s reputation was forged in a single 12-month period, during which he robbed more banks than Jesse James did in 15 years.

Another tragedy of domestic violence played out in a Gila County courtroom recently. We put it on the front page because domestic violence remains the great scourge of this — and every other — community.

Such intimate violence remains far and away the most common serious crime, the most common violent crime, the most dangerous call for police and the most costly of crimes when it comes to the impact on our society — especially on our children.

This case had all the haunting, horrible hallmarks.

The couple involved had a difficult, agonizing, sometimes violent relationship that persisted for 20 years. As in many such cases, drugs and alcohol played a key role in the dysfunction of the relationship.

The couple argued.

She walked out.

He pursued her.

She agreed to return.

The argument turned violent.

She wound up battered and bruised and terrified.

He wound up with a two-year prison term.

The court filled up with his friends and relatives, agonized by the sentence and the impact on his life.

The court filled up with advocates for the victims of domestic violence, agonized by the death and trauma and terror they have witnessed.

What do we make of such a case?

Do we shrug off the violence because she didn’t leave a decade ago?

Do we turn away from reacting because she went back to him one more time?

Do we excuse the violence, with some rueful comment about the complexity of relationships?

No. No. No. We make the point again and again, as many times as we must.

No woman deserves a beating.

No matter how many times she returns.

No matter how flawed her judgment.

No man should hit a woman.

No matter how much he drinks.

No matter how wounded his ego.

We cannot accept this violence. We cannot blame the victim. We cannot turn away. This isn’t a woman’s problem — save in those rare cases when it’s the woman who turns to violence — in her dysfunction and her fury. This is a man’s problem. It’s a failure of strength and courage and everything that makes a man worthy of respect. Men must teach their children. Men must condemn the violence.

Each case represents its own intimate tragedy — the squandered lives, the dreadful consequence, the swamp of excuses, the cancer of regret. We mourn for the woman, we mourn for the man, we pray for the children, we suffer for the families.

But each case also offers us also the opportunity to say it once again clearly, without hesitation, without pause.

Never hit a woman.

Never stand by to see it done.

Never turn away.

Never make an excuse.

Never, never, never.

Pat Randall: How long before unprepared people try to make this trip and have to be rescued like from Fossil Creek? Putting other people in danger because of them being stupid.

Robert Jones: Let’s not give them any ideas. I won’t bet you on it, but hopefully most of the “morons” don’t know the way in (it’s pretty remote and kinda difficult) and those that do won’t be able to tell anyone about it. Without some preparation and a tad bit of actual wilderness survival skills you truly will perish attempting an amateur slog through West Clear Creek. Anyone that stupid ... well I’ll refrain for once.

Robert Jones: A while yet I think, Mrs. Randall. Access to West Clear Creek is much more remote than to Fossil Creek. Plus it’s not a destination for party-ers. It’s true wilderness without a popular “swimming hole.”

Anybody wearing flip-flops and carrying coolers won’t even get near the edge of the descent into West Clear Creek. And if they did venture in, they’d likely not get out OR be rescued if they were THAT unprepared. They’d perish before anyone would know about it. No fuss, no muss. Little worry as far as I’m concerned.

Pat Randall: Robert, What do you want to bet someone tries it in less than 6 months and gets into trouble and volunteers to the rescue?

Star Valley haggles Gotta give Star Valley credit: They know how to haggle.

The town council recently balked at a sizable increase in the cost of its contract with the Gila County Sheriff’s Office, which provides police protection for the town of 2,300.

Star Valley has received police protection for about $383,000 annually since it incorporated — including an initial five-year contract and a one-year extension. That works out to about $166 per resident annually — compared to about $360 per resident in neighboring Payson.

The sheriff’s office proposed a 23 percent increase in the contract price over the next four years.

Already smarting from the loss of roughly $400,000 in net revenue from speeding tickets, the town council balked at the proposed increase.

Town Manager Tim Grier went back to the negotiating table and got the sheriff to postpone the increase for one year — and phase in a smaller increase in the next three years.

Over that time, the cost will rise from $383,000 annually to $444,000 annually.

That’s still a great deal for Star Valley — and probably not too painful for the county, which can probably provide the service residents expect without much increase in manpower.

In the long run, we suspect Star Valley must do something about its lack of an economic base — now that it’s lost the benefit of the speed cameras.

But for the moment, you’ve gotta give Star Valley credit.

Them boys can haggle hard.

Editor: I love roundabouts. The intersection in Payson that screams for a roundabout is McLane and Longhorn. This is probably the busiest intersection in town and is presently controlled by a four-way stop. I go through this intersection several times a day and I seldom go through it when there are no vehicles stopped at one of the stop signs. Many times there will be a vehicle at every corner waiting for their turn to proceed.

Apparently, most people don’t understand the protocol if two vehicles enter a controlled intersection at the same time the vehicle on the right should go first. Many times I see someone trying to be courteous and waving to another driver to go ahead. When there are vehicles at all four corners, someone has to make a decision. Is it my turn to go?

A roundabout eliminates all the confusion. You only have to know one thing. Yield to the traffic in the circle. Bingo, that’s it. The circles here in Payson are pretty small compared to states where they have been in place for decades so they must be approached with caution to see if a vehicle in the circle is exiting or is it coming around and you have to yield.

Traffic moves much smoother in a roundabout than it does in a four-way stop. Why should you have to stop at an intersection if there are no other vehicles at the intersection? Because you will get a ticket, that’s why.

As a motorcycle rider, I don’t take anything for granted when I am in a circle and coming around to exit. I signal to approaching drivers that I am coming around and I don’t take it for granted that they know what yield means. That’s how you stay alive on a motorcycle. I do the same thing when I am on a bicycle.

Payson Roundup LOCAL Friday, July 22, 2016

Local candidates gather at chamber by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

Many local candidates showed up at a recent Rim Country Chamber of Commerce meeting to introduce themselves to business leaders in the community.

This is the second in a series introducing the candidates to the readers of the Roundup.

Payson Town Council

Rick Croy (incumbent) Incumbent Rick Croy has lived in Payson since 1991, working for Gila County Community Action Program which aids families.

“So I’m very versed with the lower-income families in the Payson area,” he said.

He was very involved in supporting the creating of Green Valley Park, the Payson Regional Housing Development, and supports the university project.

Croy said he backs better transportation corridors in Payson.

“I do support the extension of Malibu Street going from the Beeline Highway towards McLane,” he said.

He also supports the Event Center and hopes the town can find ways to improve the facility.

Croy has even attended a meeting of the Rim Country Mountain Biking Association and hopes to support the group building a bike park at Rumsey.

Hallie Overman-Jackman When Hallie OvermanJackman moved to Payson, she said she met many wonderful people that she hopes will become inspired to get involved.

“I would like to work very hard on the Payson Town Council to make sure everybody has a voice and knows what is going on,” she said.

She also said she would work hard to make sure all of the plans brought to the town would move quickly to get approved.

Overman-Jackman said she would provide more support to the Payson Police Department.

“So we can keep good, qualified officers,” she said.

Overman-Jackman listed her positions with Rotary and the Friends of Payson’s Parks and Rec as other leadership positions she has held.

“I have been past president,” she said, “I am president’s secretary, of Payson Rotary and I’m also secretary to Friends of Payson’s Park and Rec.” Because of those organizations, Overman-Jackman hopes if elected, she could inspire more people to come to Rim Country to stay and play.

Barbara Underwood Barbara Underwood has lived and worked in Payson since the 1970s.

She currently sits on the Payson Unified School District Board, the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Board of the Senior Center.

She has served on the Payson Parks and Rec Board, the Design Review Board, Payson Economic Regional Development Corporation Board, the 20/20 Focus Group, and was a part of the General Plan Update Committee.

She even learned how to be a leader from the town.

“I’m a graduate of the town leadership academy,” she said.

If elected to the town council, Underwood would commit to following through on the C.C. Cragin water.

“To ensure that the residents have a reliable water source,” she said.

Underwood said she would continue the support to the businesses in town and help them to grow.

She also would like to make sure the town continues to seek clean businesses to increase the tax base.

Underwood would like to see the town support the local schools and community college to help train and prepare the future work force.

She has worked with budgets and made tough decisions.

“My promise to you when seated on the Payson Town Council is that I will always think for myself and form decisions based on the information I receive,” she said.

Payson nationally, but said that its time for the town to listen to the consultants it has hired, which say Payson needs to “find its heart or center.”

“At this time the ‘heart’ of Payson is scattered, Green Valley Park, Main Street, the Swiss Village,” she said.

“I would like to see one area developed to that end.”

Also if elected, Chittick would like to promote more of a partnership with the tribe to expand on the event center.

She expressed dismay that the town’s emergency preparedness plan was out of date and there is no firewise plan in place.

“I would like to encourage community members to create their own emergency preparedness plan,” she said.

Janell Sterner Janell Sterner moved to Payson three years ago.

She currently works as the director for the Payson Christian School pre-school program.

Sterner said she would first of all love to see more businesses come to Payson so the local students could find a job and stay in town.

She believes those businesses could also attract young families to the area.

Sterner would also like to bring a community center to Payson — like what Cottonwood has.

“I went to Cottonwood and checked out their community center,” she said. “It looks phenomenal.”

She has since learned that Payson had a plan for a community center back in 2003.

“I would love to go ahead and see where we can develop this plan, get it going where everybody from all ages can go to a community center and be a part — again, children. Being a teacher. We’ve got to get these kids a part of this community — that’s what we really need.”

Gila County Supervisor District 3 Kim Chittick Kim Chittick has lived in Payson for 22 years.

She believes in giving back to her community and hopes she can do so through sitting on the town council.

Chittick believes in governmental transparency and supports term limits for all elected offices.

“It is my belief that staying in office too long breeds complacency and a sense of ownership of the position,” she said.

Chittick believes a system of checks and balances needs to be put in place to make sure one person does not run the whole show.

Chittick said what makes Payson so unique — it’s locally owned businesses.

“I believe we and the town ought to support our local businesses,” she said.

She suggested the town council could pass measures to make it easier for locals to open businesses.

She hopes to support the Chamber and town promoting

Kenny Evans Kenny Evans has served as Payson’s mayor for the last nine years, but he said it’s time to move on.

He’s excited about what Gila County has to offer.

“We live in one of the greatest counties in Arizona,” he said. “If you were to put a number on a county’s value, and you looked at the natural resources, that are here and put a value on those, we have the highest value for reserve mining in the state of Arizona. We’re the number one county for timber reserves in the state. We have the largest lake in Roosevelt, in

the state of Arizona.”

But he followed that list up by saying that we rank with some of the lowest in health and poverty.

“We need to reinstill a sense of pride,” said Evans.

He also would like to be the supervisor that can get things done, as he did to move up the schedule to get the forest cleared around the Blue Ridge (C.C. Cragin) reservoir.

And finally, Evans said he would like to lift the whole county up through jobs.

Woody Cline Woody Cline, a fourth generation Gila County resident who lives in Young, believes his long association with the county gives him a different perspective that can add to the supervisor position.

Cline has a conservative rancher’s perspective on money, taxes and land use.

“We have a big resource out there in Gila County and it’s a renewable resource, its in cattle and timber and mining,” he said, “And if we can keep that going and keep our mines going and keep that employment up there where it needs to be and push on some of this timber we got started here in Gila County we can generate some more money from the outside instead of raising taxes.”

Cline also mentioned that cattle allotments were under utilized and needed to be increased.

He has a huge concern for the children of Gila County and would like to spend more county resources on helping the kids get a good start in life and have a good job.

stopped her from going. When she finally got outside, Landry followed her out, grabbed her keys and went back into the room. The woman got her keys back, then she left and went to a gas station. There, Landry approached her again. He apologized and the woman agreed to return to the room. Back in the room, Landry started yelling at her again, then punched her.

“The first punch hit her eye and broke her glasses,” according to a Payson Police Department report. “He then grabbed her phone and threw it against the wall causing it to shatter.”

When police arrived, the woman was shaking, had bloodshot eyes, bruising and swelling above her left eye and numerous marks along her neck and shoulder.

Landry told a probation officer that he’d had an on-again, off-again relationship with the woman for 20 years.

“On the date of the offense, he was hoping to work their issues out so they could resume their relationship,” probation writes. “However, when they became involved in an altercation, he admitted to ‘smacking her.’”

On Monday, Landry turned to his family and friends and said he was sorry. He then apologized to the victim and said

First-time Home-buyer Mistakes

Buying your first home is exciting. Many young people view homeownership as the definitive mark of adulthood, the final milestone on a decades-long journey. And while becoming a homeowner is cause for celebration, you'll want to ensure you keep your enthusiasm in check just a little while longer. Keep a level head and you'll easily avoid these common mistakes first-time buyers make.

Don't View Your Home As An Investment - First-time buyers

commonly think that they can invest everything they've saved into a home, fix it up and then sell it for a large profit in a few years. However, a home is a fixed asset that is hard to sell off quickly.

Don't Skip the Home Inspection - The National Association of Home Inspectors says “Everything may look fine on the surface, but there may be trouble lurking,” says Don Crawford, Past President of the National Association of Home Inspectors, Inc. (NAHI).

“A qualified home inspector will have the experience and training to provide information that will assist the buyer in making an informed decision. Problems that the seller or the Realtor® may not be aware of become the financial responsibility of the buyer – if they are not corrected prior to the final sale of the house”. Many buyers decide it's better to save the fee for the down payment – but often, issues arise later that can result in multi-thousand-dollar repair bills. Foundation problems can be especially nasty, sometimes requiring a teardown.

Don't Believe Everything You Read On the Internet - While it's good to start researching neighborhoods, mortgage terms and home valuations online, keep in mind that online estimates are just that – estimates. Not all mortgages are created equal and the many differences between loans can result in significant changes in the overall cost. For example, just because a lender is giving you a mortgage without an origination fee, that doesn't make it a good deal – you could be paying a lot more in interest rates. Always make sure you thoroughly check and understand loan terms before signing anything.

Don't Go For the Most Expensive House You Can Afford - When you qualify for a mortgage, your lender will tell you the maximum home purchase price they'll fund, based on your annual income as well as your debt-to-income ratio. However, just because you can afford a $500,000 home, that doesn't necessarily make it a good idea to buy it.

You'll want to give yourself a cushion in the event that you lose your job, have children, pay medical expenses or go back to school.

First-time buyers often make a variety of mistakes when buying a home, but a real estate advisor can help you to make the right decisions – decisions that set you on the best possible path toward home ownership.

15 Years experience

Gila County Supervisor District 2

Michael Pastor worked in the mines for 35 years before he got involved in county government.

He has served as a supervisor for eight years “The two things I am most proud of are reducing our workforce by approximately 100 plus employees, by attrition, no layoffs,” he said. “For the past eight years the state Legislature has felt it is important to them to pass on costs onto the county, probably to the tune of about 4 and a half to six million dollars over the last eight years.”

Tim Humphrey has owned and operated a construction company out of Globe for the last 18 years.

“As a business person, things have to make sense to me,” he said.

He believes he can take his experience of making good decisions for his company and apply that philosophy to serving as a supervisor.

“As a supervisor, either it’s good for the constituents or it’s not good,” he said. “Who’s involved doesn’t matter.”

Humphrey sits on the board of the Industrial Development Authority for Gila County, which has brought in small business loans and funds to do industrial cleanup.

Humphrey is also on the board of the Globe-Miami Chamber of Commerce and on the board for the Boys and Girls Club.

he had taken full responsibility for his actions.

This is Landry’s second felony conviction. In 2012, he was convicted for possession of methamphetamine and in 2012, convicted of utility fraud.

“Review of defendant’s criminal history shows numerous convictions relating to some degree of assaultive/disorderly behavior demonstrating he can be a threat to any domestic related partner,” probation wrote. “His conduct further demonstrates a clear pattern of drifting back into antisocial behaviors driven by his inability to manage his rage and hostility.”

stopped to verify the plate, Moseley got in and began to back up quickly toward her vehicle. Varga reversed to get out of the way.

She then stopped, exited her vehicle and began to walk toward to the passenger side of her own vehicle. Varga had to jump back to get out of the way, as Moseley sped past her. He then fled the area.

Robert Swinford, with the Gila County Attorney’s Office, said based on Moseley’s prior offenses, including theft, the state was asking for the maximum of five years in prison.

Moseley’s defense attorney Michael Bernays said Moseley

is eager to move on with his life.

Moseley told Scales he was sorry. In a letter, he thanked Scales for applying his time in jail to his prison term. “You have been more than generous to me during this lengthy process,” he wrote.

A probation officer noted that Moseley had struggled with alcohol abuse for 20 years.

Moseley had been sober for three years relapsing. “The defendant has been able to be have long periods of success complemented by his sobriety,” probation wrote. “Regrettable, he has experienced personal struggles when his sobriety is jeopardized.”

also won’t be in full pads for the final Saturday practice at Camp T like they’ve been in past years. They’ll be wearing “shells,” or helmets, shoulder pads and jerseys.

But the players will get a chance to interact with the fans, a big part of the draw for spectators. Players sign autographs and pose for photos with fans after the final practice.

Payson Parks, Recreation and Tourism Director Cameron Davis loves the change in schedule. Camp T usually occurs the same week at the World’s Oldest Continuous Rodeo during the third weekend of August.

“It is actually a great move,” Davis said. “It brings a major event to a weekend that normally has nothing on it. The hotels will be able to accommodate more people than in years past. The town is working to build a whole weekend of activities.”

Tontozona comes early But they only practice once a day the first week, making Camp T a great spot to open the practice season.

“The goal of having everybody come out of Camp T is for us to come out as a team,” Graham said. “And during the acclimation period, you can only practice once a day, and so, going up to Camp Tontozona, I really couldn’t do all the leadership and development stuff because I was missing out on two-a-days. So, I just like it better reporting up there.”

Graham said he envisions a longer annual stay for the Sun Devils with more work on Camp T. “If we could improve that place, maybe put in a field turf field, and improve the accommodations where our guys could fit in the showers, stuff like that ...

I would love to report to Camp T and to be there for two weeks,” Graham said. “What I’m saying is, you don’t have the distractions. But it’s impossible for us to do that right now from an accommodations standpoint.”

The practices during the week don’t attract the large number of spectators that final Saturday practice does each year. Players practice in helmets the first three days and

(1918-2016)

Rosalind Schuerer, of Payson AZ, passed away on July 15, 2016 at the age of 97.

Rosalind was surrounded by her children and family in Tempe AZ at her passing.

Rosalind was born on December 31, 1918, in Appleton Wisconsin and is survived by her children; daughter Kay Westling of Tempe AZ, daughter Lori Schuerer of Neenah WI, son Steven Schuerer of Fall City WA, and son Ronald Schuerer of Prescott AZ. She was much loved for her quirky sense of humor and positive outlook on life by her four grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild.

Rosalind is preceded in death in 1998 by the love of her life, Frank “Hans” Schuerer.

Hans and Rosalind married on October 10, 1942 in Appleton, Wisconsin. She spent the war years serving in the Civil Air Patrol while Hans served in the Pacific campaigns and in Japan. She was an active and outgoing lady all throughout her life, having met her husband on the softball fields and continuing an active life through a shared love of dancing (especially square dancing), travel, cards, and volunteering for her favorite communi-

ty organizations.

They lived, worked and raised their family in Wisconsin until Rosalind and Hans moved to Payson in 1974 where they owned and managed the Payson Roundup Newspaper for a few years before retiring.

In Payson, they were active in the American Legion and Payson Elks. After Hans’ passing, Rosalind continued an active life with her beloved friends at the Payson Senior Center and Senior Circle. In 2005, she was recognized by President George W. Bush as a recipient of the President’s Call to Service Award from the President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation for her volunteerism.

Rosalind’s outgoing and friendly spirit, loyalty to Christ, joy in family, and service in her community were at the core of her values. She will be deeply missed and never forgotten by all who knew and loved her.

Rosalind will be buried next to Hans at the National Memorial Cemetery in Phoenix, AZ. A celebration of life memorial will be held at a later date in Payson Arizona. Memorial contributions may be made to the Payson Senior Center, 514 W Main St., Payson AZ 85541.

Cyclist blows past challenges to defend title by

Keith Morris

roundup sports editor

As much as last year’s Mountain Bike National Championship meant to Cypress Gorry, this year’s crown may be even more special to the 2012 Payson High graduate.

The 22-year-old Gorry overcame some serious health issues to successfully defend his title in the Under-23 Division in the USA Cycling Mountain Bike National Championships in Mammoth Mountain, Calif. on July 15.

“Being able to repeat the U-23 National Title was very rewarding this year, especially after a long offseason when I had to overcome some health issues,” Gorry said in an email.

Most notable among the health concerns he dealt with was a bad sinus infection, which kept him from riding this past winter and into the spring.

After multiple long treatments of antibiotics he wound up needing surgery.

“This meant more time off the bike and not training,” he said. “Due to this I was forced to start my season much later than I was planning.”

After missing the first four Pro Cross Country Tour (Pro XCT) races of the season, he returned to action by placing fifth in a race in Missoula, Mont.

That was enough to get him back on track as he claimed his first Pro XCT crown by winning at Angel Fire, N.M. the following weekend.

“That’s a huge accomplishment and

a great sign of how my form was building coming into Nationals,” he said.

He was confident entering the National Championships after conquering the same course for the biggest win of his young career last year. It featured an 800-foot elevation change for each of the five laps.

“We started at 8,300 feet and the course climbed to about 8,800 feet each lap before descending back to the base on a very rough and fast technically challenging descent,” Gorry said. “The next two years nationals will be held in Snowshoe, W.Va. which will hold very different racing as Snowshoe is much lower elevation with terrain that is very root and rock covered.”

In addition to taking another U-23 cross country title in Mammoth Mountain, he also finished sixth in the pro short track race there.

It’s an exciting time for Gorry, who graduated from Brevard College in North Carolina this spring and will return there as assistant coach for the school’s cycling team this fall. He won four collegiate national titles.

But first, he’s got three big races in three weekends beginning with the penultimate Pro XCT in Boston. After that comes the World Cup in Mont Sainte Anne, Canada, and the final Pro XCT in Windham, N.Y. This is his final season competing in the U-23 Division. He’ll move up to the Photo courtesy of Bill Freeman Elite Division if he continues pursuing a Payson’s Cypress Gorry competes in the Mountain Bike National Championships in Mammoth Mountain, Calif. on July 15.

Pirch turned Payson into ‘Wrestling Capital’ by

Max Foster

made a (scoring) mistake,” Pirch recalls.

The ACA award cited her contributions. “Kathy actively supported the program in various capacities and was an integral part of making wrestling a Payson tradition.”

Pirch’s efforts to build the program into the country’s finest were also aided by a crew of highly dedicated assistants including Bruce Sitko, Teddy Pettet, Don Heizer, Doug Eckhardt, Dave LaMotte and Bob Hoyt.

special to the roundup

The coach who turned Payson into “The Wrestling Capital of Small Town America” has been inducted into the inaugural Payson High School Hall of Fame.

During Dennis Pirch’s 28 years at the helm of the Longhorn wrestling program, he developed a reputation for modesty and humility — always crediting the team, assistant coaches and supportive administrators for the program’s huge success.

In fact, when the venerable ex-coach found out about this story, he insisted former Payson High principal and athletic director Tom Meck should get the credit.

“He was a visionary,” Pirch says. “He encouraged me to start the program and then build it as I saw fit.”

With Meck’s blessing in 1974, Pirch set out to shape the first-ever program, relying on a coaching philosophy that had evolved since his years as a student-athlete at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff.

“In small communities, the high school is the main focal point of a majority of families and athletics tends to be the showcase that everyone can take ownership in,” Pirch insists.

As Pirch molded individual wrestlers into a cohesive group, he stressed that teamwork involved much more than the wrestlers and coaches.

“It is the student body, faculty, parents, administrators, businesses and even the parttime residents,” Pirch says.

“Everyone can be on the team and when that happens, good things follow.”

And, wow, did good things ensue.

After a so-so inaugural year, the Longhorn wrestling team returned to the mat in 1974-75

Dennis Pirch coached Payson High to 10 team state championships in his 28-year career. He’s pictured here in 1998 with his assistant coaches. Pictured are (from left) Dave LaMotte, Bob Hoyt, Doug Eckhardt, Pirch and Don Heizer. to win the first in a long line of regional crowns. Competing in the Class B Central Region against the likes of Hayden, Apache Junction and Phoenix Christian, the Horns won the region title with a largely untested group of mat rookies.

The team also fared well in state tournaments. “We were state runners-up in 1976-77 and then third at state my senior year,” former Payson High principal and coach Roy Sandoval remembers about his seasons as a Longhorn mat standout.

As the program flourished, Payson athletes gained reputations for experience and conditioning.

Eventually, the PHS program won 10 state championships, tops among small schools and second only to the larger Tucson Sunnyside. His teams claimed 23 regional titles, more than 100 tournament championships and a top-20 national ranking.

Pirch led the team to state 3A crowns in 1989, 1993, 1994, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 and

2000. In 1980 and ’81 his teams won the 1A/2A state titles.

Pirch retired after the 200001 season with a dual meet record of 378 wins and 44 losses. He was also a 20-time region Coach of the Year winner, 10-time 3A state Coach of the Year and was twice selected All-Arizona Coach of the Year.

In 1997, he was chosen Region 8 and National Coach of the Year by the National Wrestling Coaches Association.

Four years later, USA Wrestling magazine tapped him Arizona Man of the Year.

In 2003, the Arizona Coaches Association High School AllStar Wrestling Meet held at Casa Grande High was dedicated to him. The ACA featured Pirch in an all-star ceremony and on the cover of the official program.

Pirch relied throughout his career on the support of his wife, Kathy, who was at his side most every match and tournament as an unwavering supporter and expert scorekeeper.

“In all those years, she never

“Do what you love and love what you do ... find your purpose in life and run with it,” he says. “Do everything with your God-given ability, when God made us he didn’t make mistakes.”

Being inducted into the PHS Hall of Fame was a huge thrill for Pirch and his family, but it was not the first such honor he had received.

On April 26, 2009 in Phoenix, he was inducted into the Arizona Coaches Association Hall of Fame.

For years after his retirement, he continued to resist induction into the ACA hall until finally agreeing to join the ranks of some of the greatest high school coaches in Arizona history.

Pirch also coached 45 individual state champions many of whom went on to successful collegiate and professional careers.

While winning was always important to Pirch, it didn’t consume him. Over the years, he maintained that wrestling was more than “Ws” — it was a venue where young people had the opportunity to develop the values so important in today’s society. The values he often spoke of were integrity, self-reliance, responsibility and a strong work ethic.

In a Payson Wrestling Handbook, Pirch wrote that participation in Longhorn wrestling would “enable each person to not only be a winner and a champion on the mat, but also, after he leaves, to be a champion throughout his life.”

And, the former coach never wavered in his belief that youngsters who committed themselves to the program would eventually succeed.

“Those who stay will be champions,” read a plaque that hung in the PHS wrestling room throughout his career.

In addition to his championship creed, Pirch became known as a spiritual man always available to provide guidance, prayers and strategies for those struggling to meet life’s challenges.

“He is always helping people with their problems,” his eldest son, Clifford, recognized.

In an acceptance speech for an award he had won, coach Pirch told the audience, ‘I give all the glory for whatever impact I’ve had to Jesus Christ Lord and Savior.”

Today, with two hall of fame inductions and an illustrious teaching-coaching career in the rearview mirror, Pirch obviously relishes the time he now has to spend with his family, especially his grandchildren.

There is, however, another love — fishing. But that’s another story that could, by the time it plays out, be as remarkable as the ones chronicling his wrestling adventures.

Writing lines in the pines Creek authors to participate in this weekend’s book festival by

Dave Elston

special to the roundup

One of the things I enjoy about living in Christopher Creek is the variety of plants, animals and people. Yes, people. We have most every sort of resident, and we all seem to get along just fine; much like a tasty, homemade stew with lots of varied and complementary ingredients. There are hard-working folks, talented retired folks who volunteer and generally help others, and younger residents in school who work hard at their studies. We enjoy when visitors tell us what a great place we live in, and how they hope to live here someday, too. Recently, a visitor asked

me how I keep busy. I was pleased to tell him that, among other things, I am a new author. My first book, “A Year in the Grand Canyon,” is being published next month by Vishnu Temple Press in Flagstaff. And, as it turns out, I’m not the only author writing lines in the pines.

Marsha Ward is a very successful author with a deep passion for writing 19th century western history novels. She is an award-winning poet, writer and editor with over 900 pieces of published work, including her highly acclaimed American history novel series, The Owen Family Saga. Recently, she was awarded the prestigious 2015 Whitney Lifetime

Achievement Award. My wife, an avid reader of the Owen Family Saga series, says the books would make a captivating movie script.

Another very successful author here in Christopher Creek is Marshall Trimble, Arizona’s Official State Historian. Marshall wears many hats — white or black cowboy hats, that is. He is a former U.S. Marine, best-selling author, Southwest historian, stage and TV performer and host, storyteller, musician, humorist and all-around Arizona ambassador and authentic “singing cowboy.” Marshall has authored more than 20 books on Arizona and Southwestern history, and his dance card is always full with performances statewide.

Jim Hagen, a successful western artist, author and full-time resident since 1996, was first introduced to Rim Country while in the Boy Scouts

in 1941. He has written more than a dozen books encompassing short stories, poetry, travel logs, a novella, and half-a-dozen autobiographies. His love and knowledge of this part of Arizona is reflected and interwoven in his books and poetry. Jim initially expected his writing to be mostly for family members, but interest grew and today he offers his books to the public, as well. “Mutiny on Boulder Mountain,” his story of 11 Boy Scouts conscripted in 1943 to fight a 20,000-acre fire on Boulder Mountain south of Payson, was published as the cover story for the magazine “Wildfire Management Today.”

As luck would have it, the second annual Payson Book Festival is this Saturday, July 23, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Gila Community College. More than 80 authors will be selling and signing their books, and there will be food and

music throughout the day.

If you’d like to learn more about some of these authors, and even meet Marsha Ward, Jim Hagen and Marshall Trimble, be sure to stop by.

Admission is free, and attendance is expected to be high.

If you’d like to learn more about my book, I will be giving a free presentation at 10:30 a.m., Thursday, Aug. 18 at the Payson Public Library. As for me, I believe there’s nothin’ better than a good book and a cold sweet tea during the lazy days of summer. Or, in the quotable words of Mason Cooley, “Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are.”

Editor’s note: Dave Elston is filling in for “Another Week in the Creek” columnist Rod Britain.

Thanks for helping out, Dave — and thanks to Marsha Ward for stepping in a couple of issues back.

Still looking for return of the monsoon Where’s the monsoon? It headed straight to Phoenix and bypassed Payson. Boy, did they get hit on Monday night, a microburst, heavy rain, a dust storm and flooding, all in one storm. In Payson and Tonto Village, we got dark clouds and nothing more. I guess the monsoon is fickle that way, some of the state will get the the rains really hard and the rest village of the state stays dry. Does anyone one know a good rain dance for our area?

Since this is only the middle of July, there’s a good chance we will see some rain.

The rain totals are so low that Roosevelt Lake is at 42 percent and getting lower by Janet the day? They have had to Snyder close some of the boat ramps because of the lack of water.

Not good. Maybe Mother Nature will see fit to give us a goodly share of rain during this year’s monsoon.

Hellsgate Fire Department A reminder that the monthly fire board meeting will be held July 20 at the Star Valley Fire Station . The meeting starts at 5:30 p.m. The final review and hearing of the budget for fiscal year 2016-17 will be the featured item at the meeting.

There will be three positions open for the fire board coming up for election in November.

Applications and pertinent information can be found on the Hellsgate website at www.hellsgatefire.org. Also on the website is a wildland firefighter/paramedic position open. The link for that position is also on the website.

1/2 teaspoon salt 2 cups chopped apple 1/2 cup chopped nuts

Double D Doings A going away party is being planned for Clint and Grace Daniels on Sunday, July 24. The party will be a potluck, so bring a dish to share with everyone. The party will start at 1 p.m.

Clint and Grace are longtime residents of the Village. Clint helped the Tonto Village Fire Department when help was needed and Grace belonged to the auxiliary for many years as well as being a part of the group that played pool every week at the Double D. They are leaving the Village for health reasons and will be moving to Mesa to be nearer to their daughters and grandchildren. They will be missed.

Birthdays and anniversaries

Domino Divas I am sorry to report that the Divas did not get to see Jake the Hound dog this week. They love to hear him howl and he loves being fussed over by the girls. Hopefully Liz will bring him by for a visit soon.

The Divas have been having a full house for a few weeks now. Play now needs two tables for all the girls to have a place to sit. The discussions have been lively while playing dominoes — from their gardens to what’s happening to the girls who have moved away and if they have been heard from.

Very seldom is politics the prime discussion, thank goodness, we all have different views on what’s happening, but there is one item that gets wholehearted approval and that’s their position on supporting our police force and our military.

The food the girls are bringing has been outstanding, no one goes home feeling hungry, in fact many of them say the guys are on their own, they are usually not in the mood to start cooking.

Speaking of food, here is the recipe for the

by Marilyn Lamb of Kohl’s Ranch. Believe me, this is the best apple bread I’ve have ever tasted.

Apple Bread 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup shortening 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda

Roy Tolby of Tonto Village III is the only birthday this week. Roy is a former teacher in the Valley and he is enjoying his retirement with his grandchildren and his garden. Happy birthday, Roy. Next week, Lonie Smith of Ellison Creek Summer Homes will add another candle to her birthday cake. Lonie has been very active in her community for the Firewise program and she has also been a huge help with the Hellsgate Fireflies benefits over the years. Happy birthday, Lonie.

On July 27, Marilyn and Dick Lamb of Kohl’s Ranch will celebrate their 59th wedding anniversary. You both deserve an award. Being married for 59 years is a rarity. And you both are wished all the joy two hearts can hold.

I found a quote from naturalist John Muir that fits our area and in particular, Tonto National Forest that I want to share with you: “Keep close to nature’s heart ... and break clear away, once in a while, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.”

must have become lonely because on July 12, 1932 he entered into marriage with a widow, Mrs. Allie Smith. He was 71 years old. He died Aug. 2, 1934 and both he and Carrie are buried in the Globe Cemetery.

[1] Ellen would become the wife of Marcus Ming, a lieutenant in the National Guard, and moved to Tucson where he was stationed. Later we find her and her two children, Jane and Mary, living in Globe with her parents.

[2] They were married in El Paso on Oct. 17, 1920, although it is not clear why they went there for the ceremony. Louise Thompson was 28 years old and Frank Haynes was 45. They had a daughter Martha in 1923. Frank died in 1938 at age 62; records for Louise’s death are confusing, but apparently it occurred in 1975, age 83, in the state of Maryland. Why she went there is unknown.

Juraskovich resisted arrest, and during the conflict Thompson shot and killed him.

The sheriff was exonerated by the Coroner’s Jury, but on Jan. 4, 1912 a Grand Jury indicted him for murder. This required him to resign his office as sheriff and stand trial. His deputy Frank Haynes was appointed to fill out the office.

Haynes and Thompson were good friends and in time Haynes would marry Thompson’s daughter Louise. [2] While awaiting trial Thompson was free on his own recognizance. The wait was made more agonizing when his mother Ellen Jane Ann Thompson died Dec. 29, 1911. However because of his celebrity status and deep involvement in holding county offices it was difficult for a jury to convict the celebrated John Henry Thompson.

The jury brought in the verdict of not guilty.

Thompson went to work for the state highway department, sold real estate, prospected and raised cattle. When he retired in 1912 it was said of him, “The dean of all Arizona sheriffs had traveled farther, made more arrests and attained more convictions than any other sheriff in Arizona history.”

aroundthe rim Pine library seeks community’s help In the July 15 Rattlin’ the Rim, I encouraged Payson High School’s prospective football players to participate in a preseason training camp to be held July 18-22 on the school’s campus.

I included it in this column because over the years Pine and Strawberry student-athletes have been huge contributors to Longhorn football success.

In one season alone, a 9-2 Longhorn football team was anchored by Pine-Strawberry residents Luke Apfel, Tyler Williams, Chad McRae and James Gibson.

During that season, their Payson teammates teasingly referred to them as “Pinecones.”

After the July 15 edition was shipped to Casa Grande for printing, I received a call from PHS head coach Jake Swartwood asking me to yank the brief because he had pulled his players from the rattlin’ camp. the rim Although Jake was once one of my students during my teaching years in the Payson district and when he was young I strongly encouraged him to take up football, Jake understandably didn’t want to share with me the reasons he was canceling his team’s parMax Foster ticipation in the camp.

After all, head football coaches who speak out publicly, especially to the media, have a short shelf life.

Since talking to Jake, I’ve been privy to more details about his decision and believe he backed off because he wasn’t receiving much-needed support and cooperation from some of those in charge at PUSD. I won’t expound on that hoping the focus remains on the program and the student-athletes will be successful next season on and off the field.

But having been a head football coach at two high schools, I completely understand the frustrations Jake is feeling.

What I fail to understand is why those with some clout in the district are not throwing their whole-hearted support behind the camps that have been a big part of the program for years.

The camps are a win-win for the school district, the community and especially the players.

It makes no sense not to do everything possible to help make the camps an overwhelming success.

After all, those in the district should not be in the business of throwing up roadblocks, but rather paving the way to success.

While there are some schools in the state that change head coaches only once every couple of decades, Payson High has churned through a whopping 10 head football coaches in the last 26 years.

Is there any wonder?

Boost for the books, more It will take a show of community support for the Isabelle Hunt Memorial Library to continue to be the best “Small Town Library in Arizona.”

That backing begins this month with the onset of the 2016 Library Materials Fundraiser.

Next week, Pine Strawberry residents will begin receiving donation envelopes in the mail, which can be returned to the library by mail or in person with the contribution and a designation where the money should be spent — DVDs, books, children’s books, CD books or periodicals.

The donations are greatly needed because the library’s primary source of income is from Gila County secondary property taxes, which are distributed to eight public libraries in the county.

The library receives funding of $114,750, but it requires $122,896.32 for operating expenses to keep the doors open.

It doesn’t take a university math professor to figure out the library struggles under about an $8,000 shortfall, which can only be made up through fundraising efforts.

On the average, the library spends $12,000$13,000 to purchase updated books, movies and magazine subscriptions. Library Director Becky Waer says donations received during the upcoming fundraiser “will provide a greater selection of items for our patrons.”

The local library has long been a great community gathering place that offers public computers, Wi-Fi, fax service, children’s programming, a cozy reading center, young adult’s area and a complete selection of books and movies. It is the public’s generous donations that allow Waer and her staff to continue to offer a first-class library experience to all who call our mountain hamlets home.

Got water?

The Pine Strawberry Water Improvement District announced last week that six different contaminants were found in the drinking water in 2015, none of which exceeded EPA accepted levels for drinking water.

The contaminants included disinfection liquids and disinfection byproducts.

Go to: http://pswid.org/ to view the 2015 annual water quality report.

Those wishing a paper copy of the report should call 928-476-4222.

2016-17 school year begins Pine Strawberry School students and their parents are gearing up for the first day of school on Monday, Aug. 1.

Currently walk-in registration is underway weekdays, but parents should call before visiting the school to be sure it is staffed.

Rosie dropping Local fishing guru Jim Goughnour, who authors the “Rim Country Fishing Report” and is the owner of Rim Country Custom Rods, says those planning on an outing to Roosevelt, will notice that water flows have fallen off significantly, but if monsoon storms spike as predicted this week, they should increase. At the onset of the week, Tonto Creek had stopped flowing and the Salt River was only one-half of its normal flow for this time of year.

Also, the lake level drops about 1 percent each week due to demands at the southern lakes in the chain.

Goughnour says there are some concerns that the low flow rates and increased temperatures could results in algae deadly to fish.

According to Goughnour, bass anglers are reporting fair bass fishing conditions at Rosie and Apache Lake.

“Shallow running crankbaits and drop-shot technique were the most successful reported techniques,” says Goughnour.

Some anglers have also reported sporadic top

The Pine Strawberry Future Visioning Committee, which has been charged with updating the Pine Strawberry section of the Gila County Comprehensive Plan, recently gave a presentation of its findings, goals and a mission statement to the Community, Educational, Recreational Organization (CERCA) and the Pine Strawberry Business Community.

A copy was also sent the Pine and Strawberry Arts and Crafts Guild.

The mission statement presented is: “The hamlets of Pine Strawberry are a welcoming Rim Country gateway with exceptional forest scenic beauty, clean air, dark skies, abundant wildlife, and a proud historic heritage. The preservation of our environment, natural resources, local charm and character is of primary concern in effectively managing future commercial development, so this area can continue to be enjoyed and appreciated by residents and visitors alike.”

Visionary Committee member Darwin Huber says the group will host future meetings to keep residents informed of progress and receive feedback.

Trail work tomorrow The Pine Strawberry Fuel Reduction Committee will be performing maintenance work from 8 a.m. to noon tomorrow, Saturday, July 23, on the Pine-Strawberry Trail (TR #15).

Volunteers should bring their own lunch, snacks and water and meet at the Strawberry Trailhead.

In case of inclement weather, the work will be rescheduled.

est to the train station. As they led him away I spoke to the desk sergeant.

“Hey, sarge, this guy is giving us a load of crap. Any way you can soften him up a little without hurting him?”

He smiled. “You bet!”

The first thing the kid said when we got outside the station later was, “Hey, DI! I take it all back. If you don’t stick me in another place like that I’ll be an angel all the way back to the base.”

It turned out they had stripped him naked in a damp cellar cell and let him spend six hours jumping around trying to keep the roaches from eating him.

“We have two more long layovers,” I said, eying Eddie to keep his mouth shut, “It’s up to you.”

That night and the rest of the way to St. Louis we all talked. I quietly told them about how I had re-enlisted after two years of civilian life, starting over again with just one lone stripe, and how happy I was to be back in uniform. The kid,

loosely handcuffed, relaxed a bit. He listened closely as Eddie and I talked about Ted Long, a DI who had been kicked out for maltreatment of basics. Then he blurted out, “That’s the S.O.B. who made me desert!”

We knew that all along, but we acted surprised. Then came eight hours in St. Louis. I took his cuffs off. We saw the city. The three of us had good fun, ate a couple of great meals, and laughed like three old buddies.

The kid frowned when he found out that there was no “third layover,” but I could see that he was OK with it. His whole attitude had changed, and — more importantly — he had regained the self-esteem that a maverick drill instructor had robbed him of. He thanked Eddie and me as we parted, and we shook hands as friends.

His court martial wasn’t held until after I transferred to another base, so I can’t swear to the outcome, but I’ve always been sure it was a good one.

There can always be a new beginning, Johnny.

Jackson, Lucas engaged

Anniversary remembered

Contributed photos

John and Mary Walker would have celebrated their 47th anniversary July 19, 2016. However, both passed away in March of this year.

Their children write, “True to your vows, together forever as one.

Our hearts still hurt at the loss of you, but we smile because of the memories of your love and life together, your journey, your dance.

Thank you for always being so strong, smart and brave.

Mom and Dad, we are forever grateful for the life you made for us all. We love you.

“Anybody near and far who knew our parents please take a minute, grab your partner into your arms and take a spin around the dance floor, remember them warmly.”

The engagement of Lisa Jackson, daughter of Diane Jackson and the late Carl Jackson of Payson, to Robert Lucas, son of Charles and Linda Lucas of Clinton, Wisconsin, is announced by the bride’s mother.

State group honors county employee Gila County Permit Technician Deb Bradway received the 2016 Permit Technician of the Year Award at the Arizona Building Officials (AZBO) annual meeting July 13 in Payson.

Bradway has more than 11 years of service as a permit technician with Gila County in Payson. Scott Buzan, chief building official for Gila County says the permit techs are the first friendly face or voice customers encounter when they inquire about or apply for a building permit, so they have to know about all facets of the process, including zoning, wastewater, floodplain, and building.

“A permit tech is the person that basically processes all the paperwork

for a building permit,” says Buzan.

They shepherd an application through permitting, doing things like looking at plans to make sure they meet submittal requirements and informing the customer of the county’s inspection requirements as well as scheduling the inspections.

Bradway is also in charge of training all of the new permit techs in the county, in both Globe and Payson.

Buzan notes that in addition to being certified as a permit tech, Bradway sought out and received certification as a building inspector. “It’s another tool in her toolbox,” says Buzan.

In his nomination of Bradway for

the award, Buzan writes that in her many years at Gila County, Bradway has “honed her permit tech skills to darn near perfection.”

He also cites her customer service, problem solving, attention to detail, willingness to take on any assignment, dependability, and dedication to her job.

“I can’t get her out of here,” says Buzan.

AZBO is an educational organization committed to educating government jurisdictions, organizations, companies, contractors, and the general public on building codes. Gila County is a member of the Grand Canyon AZBO Chapter.

Wildlife biologist Stan Cunningham captured these images of desert bighorn sheep on the shores of Canyon Lake, one of the reservoirs along the Salt River. In July before the monsoon rains cause the desert to green up, bighorns come to the reservoir for water in the 113-degree temperatures. Normally, a big ram can go a week between drinks.

Cruise has it all: Thirsty bighorns, violent volcanoes by

Greg McKelvey

geologist, photographer

So a lovely lady, three wildlife biologists and an old geologist ginger step into a boat — that is to say a 20-foot pontoon craft. At least 10 cameras, even more lenses, three coolers and the prospects of 113 degrees on a clear July Sunday. How could it be any better? Sounds like the lead line to a cliché old joke, right?

Sundays in July are less crowded, so said the boat renter, Chris. Excuse me for my skepticism, but I see a 30-person school of paddleboarders splash by the dock and make a mental note that most of the craft slips are empty. I see birds and hear motors, I mean jet skis, speed boats, and even a paddle wheel double-decker thing!

Sure glad this is less crowded.

We back out from the dock, thread the Frogg Togg cool cloths around necks, slouch under wide-brimmed hats and settle in for a day of wildlife

photography. Sunscreen glistens from the noses to the Teva open toes. Hot is good and that is why we are here!

Really!

These three wildlife biologists know their stuff like few others and all have often scoped the rugged canyon walls towering out from Canyon Lake.

Memories flow as locations of past sightings. Their past sheep counts are on total recall.

Feathered patrols well above the waters send temporary shadows across our heads.

Motor boats cruise past frequently, as wake after wake rolls our boat.

Hmmmm this will be a fun platform for long lens photography!

It is warming up now and this is good.

Really?

We’ve come to photograph desert bighorn sheep before the monsoon sets in and the heat will drive them down to the water’s edge — despite

the infestation of humans.

Stan reminds me that a ewe needs water every three days while some rams will go as long as a week before topping off again. Also, this is the time the rams have other priorities, perpetuation of the herd. When I tried to explain why the rams curl their lips, taste the urine, and do not care a hoot about all the noise and boats to my bride of 51 years, she said “oh he is distracted.”

“Focused, hon, focused,” I said.

So we start the cruise up river.

Mind you, I have never been in this part of Arizona in all the years I lived here looking at rocks. The objective is to look for sheep.

Great idea, yet my old eyes kept being “distracted” by the complex volcanic geology showcased in the canyon.

The lovely lady, Lori, Stan’s wife, has a sincere interest in geology. The conversation all day flip-flopped from

biology to the geology and back again.

One of the best perks of being on a photo shoot with biologists is I get to learn about what I am trying to photograph. Knowing the subject makes for much better photographs, but more than that, I can connect in some small way with the nature on the land.

I am on sensory overload as we pitch and roll by vent breccias, air fall tuff, ash-flow tuffs, dikes, faults and a bunch of stuff that is hard to wrap my old brain around without dragging out the hammer, hand lens before mapping the relationships. But wow, outcrops with nothing obscuring them.

Bruce tasers me out of my rock reverie when he spots a bighorn sheep.

Too far, but I take the photos anyway.

Like the first sale of the day, that first image means all I have to do now is improve.

We slurp down ion-rich sports drinks, splash water on our heads, get tossed almost off the bench by passing

speed seekers, and yippee when we spot more and then even more sheep.

One ram has almost a full curl of his hollow horns, oh and three ewes always in his crosshairs. Twice, some of us climb out of the craft to gain a higher perch for the lenses. My sandals are flat, not made for hiking up slopes greater than the angle of repose and lugging a big lens that changes my balance points. As I slid down toward the lake on a loose marbles adventure, I began to see the connection between bighorn sheep and a 15-million-yearold caldera (maybe 19 million years old).

Really?

These complex volcanic rocks do not make very good soil. They create landforms more rugged than rugged and support darn few living things.

No cow could graze here and even the saguaro cacti appear nailed in place.

Bighorn sheep trek From page 17 People might hike here, but soon leave.

If the Salt River were cutting down through red rocks, you’d no doubt see safety rail overlooks and trails. But the geology down from Roosevelt Lake is either old granite rocks up river or blown-apart, volcanic stuff all the way down to Apache Junction.

What better place for some bighorn sheep? Their local habitat ranges for 200 square miles or more, yet is within hearing distance of an international airport.

They share this home with bald eagles, turkey vultures, bats, small mammals and really couldn’t give a bhaaaaa if the kids towed by the breakneck speeding boats get flipped out or not.

The noise goes away at night, and the search for water, food and species survival by those calling an old caldera wall home goes on.

The Superstition Super Volcanic complex is not the only such eruption of igneous rock in the region. Most know of the Apache Leap climbing area near Globe, Picket Post Mountain behind the Boyce Thompson Arboretum, the Lost Dutchman and the Superstition Mountains. All these places are related to that caldera complex.

Thanks Bruce Taubert, Randy Babb and Lori and Stan Cunningham for a memorable day.
