Payson pulls reeds to protect water quality by

Payson has replaced vegetation in Green Valley Lake with concrete blocks to prevent erosion and protect water quality — but some critics are crying “fowl.”
People who love Green Valley Park also love the myriad of water creatures that populate the lake, many hiding in and amongst the plants growing along the shore. But Payson officials say waterfowl and decaying aquatic vegetation have forced the water department to rip out the vegetation so prized by some water-loving critters. Ironically enough, the project essentially pits the desires of ducks against the well-being of the stocked trout that draw many anglers to the lake. Nonetheless, Ric Hinkie of the Payson Flycatchers Club wrote a guest editorial accusing the Payson Water Department of making a “serious mistake” by removing the reeds that line the edge of Green Valley Lake. “On June 30 ... a backhoe dug up the reeds and rushes ... and hauled them away so that concrete blocks can line the shore instead. The goal is apparently to turn the lake into a giant bathtub

Business booming The future
meets the past
Town hails new firms, rising sales by
Alexis Bechman
roundup staff reporter
Payson’s economic director Bobby Davis was buzzing with excitement last week as he delivered an update to the council on the area’s growth. The number of new businesses, increased sales tax revenue, the town’s new strategic plan and an overhaul of its website all prove that things are on the up and up, said Davis. In May, sales tax revenue was up $385,100 over the same period a year ago, according to the Arizona Department of Revenue. “Can you feel the buzz in the air?” he said. “We are growing and the future is looking much better for Payson and the Rim Country.” NerdWallet, a consumer finance website, named Payson the eighth best place to start a business in Arizona out of 65 cities and towns, each with a population more than 5,000 residents. Davis said they factored in the median annual income ($52,300), unemployment rate (7.5 percent), population (15,900), labor force (6,600) and household income ($43,500). Some of the towns Payson beat out include Cottonwood, Show Low, Tempe, Queen Creek and Flagstaff. NerdWallet named Tolleson, just east of Goodyear, the No. 1 place to start a business. To keep Payson on the right track, the
council has budgeted for a strategic fiveyear plan. After receiving six bids, the town went with ESI Corporation. Consultants will start work on the plan in August and finish by December. “I want to start the new year off running with a plan,” Davis said. ESI developed Payson’s first asset inventory and worked on northern Gila County’s higher education assessment. The company has also worked with Goodyear, Mesa and Cottonwood on their strategic plans and just completed Cottonwood’s second five-year plan. Cottonwood has seen considerable growth with the reinvention of its downtown area. Payson’s plan will cost $40,000, but the town is only paying $8,000 thanks to a partnership with APS. “This will give us a detailed plan on what businesses I need to recruit.” Davis proudly pointed to all of the new businesses that have already opened in Payson. They include Team CB Chevron Station, Mike’s Fish and Chips, CrossFit gym in the Rim Country Mall, Choice Gym near the airpark, Keeney HVAC Services, Buttermoon Windcup gifts in the Swiss Village, Quigtone Music in Bonanza Square, Atmosphere Salon on Main Street, Serendipity on Main, Affordable Furniture on East Cedar Lane, Haute

Payson’s doing the chicken dance by
Alexis Bechman
roundup staff reporter
Backyard hens around Payson did the chicken dance last week with news the town council may consider lessening restrictions. Currently, town code prohibits homeowners from keeping livestock or chickens on properties less than one acre. That has not stopped many residents from setting up chicken coops in their yards illegally. Sheila DeSchaaf, with planning and development, said an increasing number of residents have contacted councilors and staff requesting a change in the code. Veterinarian Sandra Snyder with Payson Pet Care presented more than 400 signatures from residents supporting a code change to the THE WEATHER Outlook: Partly sunny with highs around 90, lows in the lower 60s. Chance for rain is 30% or less for the week. See 9A

council Thursday. Several other residents supporting the change sat with Snyder at the council meeting. No one in the audience spoke out against the code change. The council told town staff to bring back an amendment to the code that would allow residents to keep a limited number of hens, not roosters, even on lots less than one acre in size. They would then vote on it. Until then, no chickens allowed on lots less than an acre. The town adopted the code banning chickens in 1996. The planning commission revisited the issue in 2010 and recommended a set of standards for keeping hens, but the council never approved any changes.
Archaeologists probe ancient habitation at university site by

Up on a ridgeline east of the Payson Ranger District Station archaeologists recently excavated a site they believe early inhabitants used as a hunting shelter. The one-room structure had thick stone walls, a hearth near the center for warmth and likely a wood roof.

Tucked in under a granite monolith on a ridge overlooking the Granite Dells, a team of archaeologists from the Valley last week removed buckets of dirt and screened the rubble for clues to a vanished past — in the process clearing away a key roadblock to Payson’s future. Nearby, two Arizona black rattlesnakes lay curled up together under a rock. They have kept a watchful, but-often sleepy eye on the archaeologists for the past three weeks. The team says they only wish the snakes could have taken care of whoever vandalized the site Tuesday night. For weeks, Aztec Engineering staff has made its way through 10 Native American sites identified in a 2012 archaeological study near the Payson

Pine ATV club throws trashy party by
Keith Morris
roundup staff writer
Exchange a bag of trash for a lottery ticket. Not a bad deal. And lots of people took advantage of the offer, showing up at Cindy Maack’s house in Pine on Saturday to drop off refuse for a chance at a big payoff. Actually, trash was required for entry: No trash, no party. It was all part of the Rim Country Riders ATV Club’s annual ATV Scavenger Hunt and Get Trashed Party in Pine and Strawberry on Saturday. “Our ATV Club likes to keep the forest clean and you can mix the two, a party and go clean the forest, together,” Maack said. “The main goal is to get the litter picked up and

the scavenger hunt was to make it fun.” Maack believes this is the fifth year for the event, which requires competitors to follow clues to ride around Tonto National Forest in the Pine-Strawberry area. According to one of the many volunteers helping with the event, 20 all-terrain vehicles entered the race with just about all of them featuring two people. Competitors dropped off their bags of trash in a large dumpster donated by Waste Matters. The RCR ATV Club does more than just try to get people inspired to clean the forest. “Our club is very concerned about our forest,” Maack said. “Not only do we like to keep it cleaned up, but we like

It’s not107 cleanN. untilTonto it’s Sunshine St.Clean!
University dig site vandalized From page 1A Salado people sometime before A.D. 1400, for a time complicated efforts to buy the hilly, forested site. And the recent vandalism of the site could cost more money — and perhaps more time. Once the archaeologists’ work is complete, the project can take another step toward construction of a four-year university in Payson. Denise Ryan, Tonto National Forest district archaeologist, hopes the sites are somehow integrated into the campus, possibly connected with walking paths and informational placards. While the work has so far revealed several new clues about the area’s earliest inhabitants, Tuesday’s vandalism set the team back half a day. Someone damaged the site, throwing equipment into the woods and making off with a wildlife camera, signs and other tools. They ripped up stakes and marking lines, and like a bear trashing a campsite for food, left a scattered mess. The team had to wait for a Forest Service officer to investigate before it could get back to work since the crime is a federal offense. Ryan said acts like this are why the Forest Service has kept quiet about the ongoing excavations and did not let the Roundup tour the sites until the consultants had nearly finished. By this week, the team will be gone, having collected everything it could locate. Back at the lab it will take months to analyze the samples and pinpoint who used the sites and when. Ryan, and Deil Lundin, principal investigator with Aztec Engineering, already have a few hypothesis. On a sunny, early morning tour of the sites, Ryan and Lundin made their way up a steep hill covered in slick pea gravel, just up from the Hotshot crew’s training ground. They pointed out where they found projectile points — that’s an arrowhead to most of us — ash from fire hearths, animal bones and small potsherds. So far, they have not located any burials. One of the more surprising finds, however, is an obsidian arrowhead. The volcanic glass likely came from the Flagstaff area, since it is not found in Rim Country. The 10 sites are scattered on the hill east of the Forest Service office, several on a ridge overlooking the Star Valley basin. The team found surface masonry or evidence of a structure at five of the sites. In the other five, they found lithics and sherds on the ground, but no rock walls. Ryan said, federal law requires such a study of archaeological sites before the government can transfer land to any other party. Crews are looking for burials, for return to the appropriate tribe. So far, representatives from the Hopi, Apache and Yavapai tribes have visited the area. Ryan said surface masonry in the area dates back to before A.D. 1250. Sometime around A.D. 1300, however, the inhabitants left the area, likely because of a drought. Very early on, archaeologists assumed the three Southwest cultures were Hohokam, Anasazi and Mogollon, but excavation work and research over the last decades has fine-

For the last three weeks, archaeologists from Aztec Engineering have been working near a large stone on the site of a proposed four-year university campus. tuned this theory. The Rim is too far west of the prehistoric Mogollon culture’s range. Scott Wood, a forest archaeologist who recently retired, felt that the local prehistoric inhabitants of the Rim area were most closely tied culturally to the Salado in Tonto Basin. “We have been calling the prehistoric culture here in the sub-Rim area (Payson Basin and points into Colcord) the Northern Salado,” Ryan said. The last time the land around the administrative offices was excavated was in the 1970s when the Forest Service added a helipad at the ranger station. They found remnants of a three-room structure and collected what they found in those rooms, but did not examine the rest of the site for ramadas or cooking areas. This dig has given archaeologists a unique opportunity. To Ryan’s knowledge, no one was ever dug an Apache rock shelter like the one found on the hill. She said the Apache moved a lot and did not leave behind many clues. “This is a rare opportunity,” Lundin said. Under the massive rock, in a confined space, are stone tools and pottery. It appears people used the shelter as a food cache, perhaps with a lean-to in front to provide protection from the weather. The team found a more modern addition while digging — an old pellet gun in a holster. Further up the hill from the rock, is another
site. This one they believe was a one-room shelter, likely used in the fall as a hunting camp. The archaeologists found no storage on the site or evidence of food processing, but they did find the volcanic glass arrowhead here. Lundin said they most likely leveled off the floor and dug a hole for the hearth fire to heat the space and cook small game. The structure was probably tall enough to walk around in and constructed out of thick, stone walls. Behind the inner rock wall was a space filled with rubble and then an outside stonewall, held together with mud with a wood roof. Soil sample analysis will likely reveal when the structure was used and possibly what was going on at that time based on the pollen in the dirt. The team took six liters of dirt from multiple locations on the site. “We are trying to figure out the dynamic of what was going on here in the past and you are looking at a time capsule that can give you indicators of weather conditions and climate conditions by what kind of plants they were exploiting,” Ryan said. On the Tonto National Forest alone, the Forest Service has inventoried 11,000 archaeological sites. If the entire 2.9 million acre Tonto National Forest could be surveyed, Ryan estimates they would find 200,000 sites.
ATV club gets trashy – in a good cause From page 1A to help people learn the rules. If you’re under 18 years old, you have to wear a helmet. And you’ve got to wear glasses. So we like to spread the word on what the rules are.” As important as anything the Rim Country Riders are focused on is a plan to work on trails so ATV riders can ride all the way from Strawberry and Pine to Payson and beyond. The scavenger hunt raises money to help complete a trail system. They’re hoping for a matching grant from the government.
“We’re trying to get trails built so that quads can stay off of the highway,” Maack said. “What we’re really working on is a trail from Pine to the Tonto Bridge road. You can go underneath that road then hook up with the roads that make it on into Payson without going out on the highway. We want to stay off of 87. The way to do that is to connect some of these trails around here.” She said it really won’t take a lot of work to complete the trail. “I am working with the (Tonto National) Forest (Service) and the trail is on the travel management plan,” Maack said. “And once that
travel management plan comes out, we as a group can go out there and move stuff and start building it ourselves. But most of us the average age is probably 50, so we don’t have the youth in us to be able to go around and move this, so we will have to hire maybe like a small bulldozer. We’ll have to hire somebody to design it, we’ll have to have signage. We really only need a half a mile of new trail between Pine and that bridge road because if you get there you’ve got all kinds of trails. You can make it to Rye, you can make it to Payson, of course. Then you can cross the highway and make it down into
Gisela. A half mile is all we need to get off the highway.” She said riding on Highway 87 is just not a good situation for ATVs. “It’s very dangerous,” she said. “It’s like any motorcycle on the highway, people don’t see us or they’re not concerned with us. They whiz around us at a high rate of speed. And our vehicles are not built for the highway.” Although Maack is confident the plan will eventually get the go-ahead, it hasn’t just yet. “The Forest (Service) has to do its studies,” she said. “They have to make sure we’re not over ancient ruins and those types of things. But we’re there. They have pretty much approved it. But the big guys down there in Phoenix have to put the final stamp on it.” She said there’s always more to do for the club, which features more than 200 members. “It’s not just that trail, there’s improving trails (that we need to do),” she said. Anyone interested in contributing to the Rim Country Riders ATV Club can send donations to: P.O. Box 1042, Pine, AZ 85544 or drop them off at Ponderosa Market in Pine. Maack credited the success of the fundraiser to volunteers Linda Oyas, Bernie Rosen and Dave Nuding. “They’re the major volunteers, but there’s a lot of people who’ve helped.” For the scavenger hunt, the team earning the most points for finding and taking a photo of items volunteers put in the forest in the shortest amount of time won $100. Second-place earned $75 and third $25. “They competed for money, but really it was about having fun and cleaning the forest,” Maack said.

A valuable find; A crazy process T
• July 26, 1947: U.S. President Truman signed The National Security Act. The act created the National Security Council, the Department of Defense, the Central Intelligence Agency and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. • July 29, 1958: Congress passes legislation establishing the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. NASA was created in response to the Soviet Union’s launch of the first satellite, Sputnik I. • July 28, 1978: “National Lampoon’s Animal House,” a movie spoof about 1960s college fraternities, starring John Belushi, opens in U.S. theaters. “Animal House” became a box-office hit and part of pop-culture history. • July 27, 1981: Adam John Walsh, age 6, is abducted from a mall in Hollywood, Fla., and later found murdered. In the aftermath of the crime, Adam’s father, John Walsh, became a leading victims-rights activist and host of the long-running TV show “America’s Most Wanted.” • July 30, 2003: In Mexico, the last ‘old style’ Volkswagon Beetle rolled off an assembly line.
he potsherds, charcoal, stone tools and glass-sharp arrowhead have lain in the implacable dirt for centuries, scattered puzzle pieces. Time’s a funny thing. It can hurtle past, it can crawl sideways, it can sometimes stand still. People have lived in Rim Country for thousands of years. The spear points of Ice Age mammoth hunters who roamed this place 10,000 years ago have been unearthed in the Verde Valley and on the now sun-seared slopes of Tonto National Monument. So, maybe it’s natural for people working with hand trowels and brushes to labor ever so carefully, ever so slowly, so they will not miss one of those puzzle pieces, kneeling in the concealing dirt. But nearly six years into the effort to build a university campus in Payson, we have to admit our patience is all used up. So we hope Aztec Consulting finishes the field work on the site today or tomorrow, so the Forest Service can finally accept the $4.1 million the Rim Country Educational Alliance is ready to deliver on a moment’s notice to buy the 253-acre Forest Service site we need to build a four-year university campus here in Payson. Unfortunately, some fool injected yet another needless delay by vandalizing the site, forcing the archaeologists to painstakingly repeat some of their work. Once the work finishes, the archaeological consultants will write up a report and draw up a plan for preserving the site and the artifacts they’ve found. The archaeologists made some potentially fascinating discoveries. They found pottery related to occupation of the area 600 to 1,000 years ago by the Northern Salado, who grew corn, beans and squash in settlements like those preserved at Shoofly and Goat Camp ruins. They found at least seasonal dwellings, with cooking hearths likely to yield charcoal for dating and perhaps other clues to the lifeway of the people who lived here for nearly 1,000 years, before abandoning their settlements in the 1300s or early 1400s. Perhaps even more interesting, the archaeologists apparently found a shelter used by the Apache, who moved in soon after the Northern Salado moved out. Apache sites are rare, since they didn’t build stone shelters or irrigation works. The site will prove as a valuable reminder of the ancient claim of the Apache people to Rim Country, including the Tonto Apache Tribe — which plays such a vital role in this community. The site will make a wonderful addition to the campus. It sits on a ridge, so the construction will not touch the site. Instead, we hope campus designers will set up an interpretive site, so students can appreciate the long, complex history of the region. Of course, the value of the site doesn’t come anywhere near justifying the strange and irrational delays it has caused — thanks to inflexible Forest Service rules. The Kafkaesque procedure for buying the land for a project of immense benefit to the public demonstrates why government provokes such maddening frustration — even among people who treasure the resources those rules protect. In a reasonable world, the Rim Country Educational Alliance would have promised to survey the site and protect the archaeological treasures. The Forest Service would have handed over the deed. The campus would already be up and operating. Instead, we’ve spent years in agonizing delay — caused in large measure by the rules and procedures developed with the chaotic symmetry of a coral reef every time someone, somewhere, somehow abuses the process. So the government that should spring forward to serve the public, has instead come close to killing the project with its mindless and inflexible enforcement of rules intended to benefit the public. But never mind. We have suffered through the crazy times. We’ve probably gained in wisdom and character. We’re just glad (surely) it’s nearly over (we hope and pray). So let us wish the report writers Godspeed and the Forest Service speed. It’s time to move from geological time and archaeological time into a world of construction schedules. We’re nearly ready, finally, to build a university.

Little League blowup disheartening Editor: The Little League mission: “Through proper guidance and exemplary leadership, the program assists children in developing the qualities of citizenship, discipline, teamwork and physical well-being. “... espousing the virtues of character, courage and loyalty … designed to develop superior citizens rather than superior athletes.” It is painful to imagine what those little kids learned watching their parents posturing at the chicken fight here in Payson recently. The Rio Rico team traveled from Tucson only to be disqualified and escorted off the field. Interestingly enough, the team was disqualified after they beat Flowing Wells 13-3. Flowing Wells coaches protested the game, again after they lost, claiming that Rio Rico’s paperwork was not in order. I wonder, would they have been so unrelenting if they had won the game? The “exemplary leadership” stated, “they refused to leave and they were speaking Spanish and they were scared” so they called the police and had them escorted off the field. Why would speaking Spanish incite fear? The coaches reported that “Everyone left peacefully and there was no issue.” No issue? Seriously? It didn’t stop there. There were fierce Facebook wars from both sides of the dispute, flinging accusations back and forth. Of course, the media got involved to stir things up even more. Does the word “play” take on a whole different meaning when it comes to Little League? Our children, who came to “play” sure did get an education. Regrettably, the kids had front row box seats to learn about the game of life. Kathleen Kelly
Dog owners wrecking park Editor: It is a shame that Green Valley Park, where I used to take all my visitors, has now become a dog toilet. I walk around the lake and every day I see irresponsible dog owners not picking up after their dogs. It is so bad that I have recently seen dog feces on the sidewalk around the lake and people have stepped in it and spread it on down the sidewalk. You have to be careful if you step in the grass because there is dog feces at least every 10 feet. I’m sure that a number of the people that were at the fireworks either stepped in or sat in dog droppings. This is not only ruining a wonderful visitor attraction, but it is spreading disease amongst all dogs by the spread of feces on everyone’s shoes. If the irresponsible dog owners can’t pick up after their dogs then I suggest the town council ban dogs from the park altogether since the park is supposed to be for the enjoyment of all. Dog owners have a park over by the library and they can take their dogs over there and foul that area with feces and leave the other park areas for visitors and residents who respect others and don’t want to see or smell your dog’s
leavings. I’m tempted to start carrying my camera and taking photos of these irresponsible people and start posting them on Facebook or starting a website with their photos very prominent on the front page. If you can’t pick up after your dog in public places, then you have no business having a dog. Keith Currens
Upset with changes are Green Valley Lake Editor: Green Valley Lake: An extraordinary, well-maintained place and a most happy discovery for me since my arrival to this area 10 years ago. I haven’t missed an opportunity to visit there in all seasons once or twice a week. A grocery run or doctors’ appointments to Payson give me a good excuse to take a lovingly enjoyed break at the lake’s beautiful surroundings. And I’ve been entertained by several generations of birds over the years, giving names to the more interesting characters among them. So the town’s destruction of this special ecosystem, this beautiful habitat ... I take very personally. How many other visitors to the lake feel this way? It shocks me to think that the town feels more cement will make up for Nature’s gifts. Will that provide shelter and nesting places for the wildlife? It does not, will not, create the same lovely ambiance or refuge as those pesky (?) reeds. The lake has been Payson’s own little wildlife refuge for countless creatures till now. What a shocking, unpleasant sight to see the ugly change the other day! Lousy idea, Payson. One more idiotic step in the demise of a once-admired, once-special town. Ruining Green Valley Lake is not only a sad, stupid move, it is a travesty. My thanks to Ric Hinkie’s letter for bringing this situation to my attention via the Payson Roundup. “Giant bathtub” indeed. Ej Mo
Work at lake improves fishery water quality Editor: I would like to respond to the letter about wildlife habitat around Green Valley Lake. Green Valley Lake was built in 1996 to provide a place to store reuse water, increase groundwater recharge and serve as a town park. Green Valley Lakes were added to the Arizona Game & Fish Department’s Urban Fishing Program and are stocked with trout from October to May. Green Valley Lake receives high quality reclaimed water from Northern Gila County Sanitary District. Reclaimed water has higher nutrient concentrations (nitrogen and phosphorus) than rainwater, which leads to challenges in maintaining fishery water quality requirements. The nutrients stimulate algae growth, which leads to excessively high pH, low dissolved oxygen and odors. The Game & Fish Department will not stock fish when pH is greater than 9.5. This problem is exacerbated by an over-
population of waterfowl and excessive decaying aquatic vegetation (cattails, bulrush, etc.). Public feeding of wildfowl has disrupted natural migration, resulting in a year-round problem of excessive waterfowl, increasing the nutrient load. Green Valley Lakes have an average population of 12 waterfowl per acre; the ideal is less than 3 per acre. Maintaining fishery water quality standards requires a reduction in aquatic vegetation and making the lakes less attractive to wildfowl. Two Heritage Fund Grants have been obtained this year, one to continue the shoreline wall along the north and south shore, and another to install a fish barrier past Lake 3, allowing the stocking of weed eating white amurs to Lake 3. There will not be any concrete shoreline protection along the dam face; the dam is protected by a gabion structure. Removing cattails improves water quality by reducing pH. Installing a shore wall improves fishing access, stops shoreline erosion, and makes the lake less attractive to wildfowl. We appreciate your concern for Green Valley Park and your help in keeping the park clean. We ask the public to please refrain from feeding the wildfowl, keep wildlife wild. Dan Utz, water quality specialist, Town of Payson Water Department and Joann Hill, community fishing program, Arizona Game & Fish Department
Protesters’ perspective probably skewed Editor: In regards to the ammunition plant choosing not to expand … Just curious. I know this is purely speculation on my part, but I feel that the few that spoke so loudly do not have the need for a good paying job with good benefits and potential for retirement. I am sure they are quite comfortable in their retirement or are independently wealthy. I believe I know a couple of them and we have had debates on the subject. There are plenty of hiking trails around Payson and if the facility were built, there would still be hiking in that area. There are plenty of pristine places around Payson and the area was planned to remain pristine if the facility were built. I also feel badly for all the hard work Mayor Evans has put into this project for nothing. There are those that can gripe all they want, but I feel Mayor Evans has worked harder than any other Payson mayor that I have seen since I moved here 20 years ago. I guess we are just going to have to be happy with our minimum wage retail and fast food jobs. Ken Boone

Community Garden donates produce to area food banks by
Alexis Bechman
roundup staff reporter
This year’s bountiful harvest at the Payson’s Community Garden will yield fresh produce not only for gardeners, but some of the community’s needy. Keeping with tradition, gardeners are donating much of their harvest to the local food banks. Last week, the group donated nearly 500 pounds to the food banks, providing more than three shipments of fresh, organically grown produce, said garden organizer and founder Roger Kreimeyer. The donation shipments started in May with lettuce, peas and onions. Last week’s donation was mostly squash and cabbage. This is the fourth year the
Community Garden group has donated to the St. Vincent de Paul and Community Presbyterian Church food banks. In the last three years, more than 23,000 pounds of food has gone to the food banks. For the food bank, it is a rare treat. Because of cost and shelf life, canned and frozen food usually dominates food boxes. Fresh ingredients are a rarity. Kreimeyer, who organized the Payson Area Food Bank for years, said the produce from the garden remains crucial for the food bank, which faces increasing demand and diminishing funding. For those interested in donating, drop non-perishable food off at any of the food banks or at the food collection box at town hall.

Banner Alzheimer’s Institute reaches out to Rim Country by Teresa McQuerrey and Alexis Bechman roundup staff reporters
An annual brain/mind check should become as routine as any other aspect of a yearly physical. That is the recommendation of Angela Allen, with Banner Boswell Medical Center, who led a well-attended training program for caregivers of victims of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias last week at Rim Country Health. Allen speaks from personal experience. She said her grandmother was diagnosed with dementia, but it took a year to get the diagnosis. Allen knew there was something wrong with her grandmother, but people told her repeatedly her grandmother was just “getting old.” Allen persisted, eventually getting guardianship of her grandmother. Today Allen helps providers recognize the signs of dementia and Alzheimer’s. The program, COMPASS: Directions for Caregivers, was through Banner Alzheimer’s Institute in Phoenix. Dementia is a general term that describes a category of diseases that result in impairment of memory, language, personality, behavior and judgment. There are more than 70 types of dementia diseases, the most prevalent being Alzheimer’s. Among the others: vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia and Lewy Body dementia. The disease has a typical progression from early to middle to late stage over the course of 7 to 10 years. Each requiring different approaches from the patient’s care team including the level of care needed and the variety of medication used. Allen explained several roadblocks and detours to the best care and quality of life for a patient with dementia. These include fatigue, change, too much demand, overwhelming/ misleading stimuli, communication. Fatigue
The patient can experience fatigue because they are using
more energy for same tasks that did not cause difficulty before and there is a lower tolerance for stress. To avoid fatigue: discover what is the best time of the day for the individual; keep activities short; provide plenty of rest and rest periods with quiet activities or naps (watch for indicators of fatigue such as increased confusion, agitation, irritability, etc.); watch caffeine intake; follow a routine; excessive sleep could be depression or boredom, in either case, evaluate each carefully as they can be treated. Change
Patients with dementia perceive change when none may not be present because the world becomes less and less familiar, so consistency is predictable and comfortable. Help them avoid change by maintaining a routine; carefully consider holidays, having company and travel; pay attention to their environment. Too much demand
Information from any source — visiting with them, watching television, reading the newspaper or a book, listening to the radio — can be overwhelming. Don’t have unrealistic expectations as they are trying as hard as they can. To avoid overwhelming a dementia patient with too much information, be realistic; announce new information only when necessary; use good communication skills; create positive moments to help them avoid failure or frustration. Overwhelming/misleading stimuli
Remember, the patient’s brain’s ability to interpret “information” has become damaged; they may be experiencing vision changes. To avoid this roadblock, at social functions limit the number of people, consider a “buddy” for them who is not a primary caregiver; honor the person’s wish to leave. Deal with people or things that “aren’t there” — remove distractions by turning off the television, taking down family
photos, covering the windows at night, cover the mirrors (especially in the bathroom). Communication
Don’t correct, convince, coerce, reason, argue; ask yes or no questions. Do agree, apologize, distract; play dumb (Oh, I didn’t know that); say “Yes, but…”; respond to the emotion; speak clearly and simply; become comfortable with silence; therapeutic fibbing; practice, practice, practice; maintain a sense of humor. More help for caregivers
Banner Alzheimer’s Institute has regular programs, “Dementia Dialogues” it presents at different locations in the Valley from noon to 1 p.m. the third Wednesday, but an audio version of each is available by calling (623) 832-3248 or going online to bannerresearch@ bannerhealth.com; recorded sessions are online at www.banneralz.org/dementiadialogues. These are free. The topics now through December are: maintaining realistic expectations as dementia progresses, Aug. 19; caregiver wisdom, Sept. 16; first responders and persons with dementia, Oct. 21; preparing for the holidays, Nov. 18; the gift of presence, Dec. 16. Bret daCosta with Rim Country Health said the July 24 event was the largest Alzheimer’s and dementia caretakers’ conference in Gila County history with at least 70 participants. He said so many were interested, they had to turn people away. “This is a tremendously needed resource. It has not been addressed like this before,” daCosta said. However, there are local services available for the caregivers of those with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. See details about the local support group and a special program for caregiver respite in the sidebar below.
More than 70 Rim residents attended the special training program for caregivers of those with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia July 24 at Rim Country Health. The main speaker was Angela Allen (above), who is with Banner Boswell Medical Center. Much of the material those attending collected came from the Banner Alzheimer’s Institute in Phoenix.

Medicare/Medicaid is 50 July 30 by
Mindy Strickling
payson regional medical center
Thursday, July 30 marks the 50th anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid in the United States. In 1965, President Lyndon Johnson signed legislation that created Medicare for the elderly and Medicaid for low-income adults, children, pregnant women, and people with disabilities. Former President and First Lady Harry and Bess Truman received the first Medicare cards. The federal agency that administers these programs is the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), previously known as the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA). This agency resides within the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and administers the Medicare program. It also works in partnership with state governments to administer Medicaid, the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), and health insurance portability standards. In addition to these programs, CMS has other responsibilities, including the administrative simplification standards from the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), quality standards in long-term care facilities (more commonly referred to as nursing homes) through its survey and certification process, clinical laboratory quality standards under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments, and oversight of HealthCare.gov. The CMS employs more than 6,000 employees, of which about 4,000 are located at its headquar-

The head of the CMS is the administrator of the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The position is appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. The position is currently held by Andy Slavitt. Since inception, these two programs have transformed the delivery of health care in the United States. They’ve greatly reduced the number of uninsured Americans and have become the standard bearers for quality and innovation in American health care. Today, about 55 million Americans have Medicare, and more than 70 million have Medicaid. In the coming days, the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services will recognize the impact these two programs have had in transforming our nation’s health care system. By sharing daily facts and posts on Twitter (@cmsgov) and Medicaid.gov, CMS will highlight people, places, and progress that represent the Medicare and Medicaid programs we know today. Officials invite the public to participate in this celebration by sharing stories of how Medicare and Medicaid have made a difference in their lives and the lives of their loved ones. In late July, CMS regional offices will host public events; in addition, a national event will be held in Washington, D.C. Source: US Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services

Cromer takes over as Payson High athletic director by
Keith Morris
roundup sports editor
Barry Cromer pointed to the 365day calendar that filled a considerable space on one of the mostly-empty walls in his new office. Plenty of those squares contained writing. “I’m keeping myself busy,” he said. “I’ll be busy making sure that my coaches are taken care of.” There’s ample time for Payson High School’s new athletic director to fill spaces on the walls with photos and such. But he’s hit the ground running with all the Barry Cromer responsibilities of a person in his position. And it’s a new adventure for Cromer, who’s spent the last 17 years coaching baseball. He recently earned his
master’s degree. Administrators in the district are prohibited from serving as a paid coach for a district team. “In spring, when baseball season starts, you might see a little twitch in me because I’m used to being geared up and ready to go,” he said. “I absolutely love coaching baseball. “But I think it’s better for everybody for me to stay in the background and help support them. And it’ll be better for me trying to learn the ins and outs. As much as I’m going to miss coaching, I’m going to enjoy watching my coaches and watching them succeed.” Cromer is Payson High’s third athletic director in three years. He replaces Jennifer White, who is taking over as Rim Country Middle School principal after one year as AD. It’s a demanding job. AD duties which can include scheduling, ensuring compliance with Arizona Interscholastic Association rules, monitoring student eligibility, managing budgets, evaluating programs and attending athletic
events. “Getting used to a new position and all the intricacies that come with it,” Cromer responded when asked what he saw as his biggest challenge. “A lot of people don’t realize what an AD does because it’s more of a behind-thescenes position. You have to make sure coaches and athletes are taken care of and you have to be liaison between all.” Although his wife, Anna Lea, and two kids remain in the Valley for now, he plans to find a house or apartment in Payson to rent so he can be here. “I’ve been trying to find a place to rent right now for this year so I can be here,” he said. “My thought with being an athletic director is I’m going to be at every event possible on campus because I want them to see that I’m in tune with athletics and I’m a big supporter of them and I’m here whenever they need me. There’ll be some long nights and that’s what you sign up for when you take this position.” He and his wife have two boys, Barry
III, 13, and Michael, who’ll be 12 on Sept. 1. He’ll celebrate his 15th wedding anniversary on the high school football field. “To commemorate that, I will be laying sod down on our football field trying to get that fixed,” he said with a laugh. Cromer grew up in Phoenix and graduated from Phoenix Barry Goldwater High before attending Eastern Oregon State College (now known as Eastern Oregon University), a Div. II NAIA school. He was recruited to play quarterback in football and also tried to walk onto the baseball team as a pitcher. He spent two years at EOS before an injury to his right (throwing) shoulder led to his returning home to complete his bachelor’s degree in secondary education with an emphasis in math at Arizona State. He just finished his master’s degree Online through American College of Education in Indiana. He’s coached baseball, football and girls golf at various levels.
Cromer spent the last four years as the varsity baseball head coach at Deer Valley High. He also coached for eight years at Barry Goldwater. He began his coaching career with four years at Barry Goldwater as a football junior varsity assistant coach and a baseball freshman assistant coach. His first teaching position came with Scottsdale Horizon High, where he also served as the JV football head coach and freshman baseball head coach in his one year there. He went back to Goldwater for eight years as a baseball assistant coach, also spending one year as a football assistant coach. He served as Goldwater’s girls golf head coach for six years. Cromer earned the region Coach of the Year award after leading the team to its first region championship in 2006. “That group of girls was phenomenal,” he said. He also coached Team Arizona in the Sunbelt Classic baseball tournament in McAlester, Okla. for three years.
Car wash helps baseball players learn value of work

Members of the Payson Phantoms 14-and-under and 13-u club baseball teams showed just how much playing the sport means to them by working in the hot sun for two days last weekend to raise money. Proceeds from the car wash held in the parking lot in front of Little Caesars from 3-7 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday go to defray the cost to parents of $400 per boy to play in a fall ball
league in Scottsdale. This marks the fourth year of the Phantoms Club Team and their third year in the fall league. Practice for the four-month league begins on Aug. 1 and the season starts on Sept. 12. The two Phantoms teams play a doubleheader every weekend, usually on Saturdays. Those game will usually take place in the Valley. However, Payson will host a doubleheader at Rumsey Park four times this season. The Phantoms also play in a tourna-
ment once a month during the winter. “We’re just trying to help the boys get their fees all taken care of,” said coach Kacy Parker. “Whatever we don’t raise the parents will pay. This is just supplemental to help them out. Hopefully it gets the boys to understand the value of going to
work a little bit.” And they didn’t exactly have it easy with a steady stream of customers all weekend for the best donate-whatthink-its-worth car wash in town (how many can there be in one weekend). “Honestly, we’ve had some very generous people,” Parker said.
The Phantoms are also hosting a Home Run Derby at Rumsey 2 and 3 this coming weekend with divisions for men, women and another with the Phantoms competing against themselves. Thirty percent of the proceeds will go to the champions and 70 percent goes to the two club teams.
Bill Mullins teams with PGA star Spieth to win The Open Part skill and part luck. That’s what’s involved in the Payson Men’s Golf Association’s annual Masters Tournament at Payson Golf Course. Members combine their next score from the 18 holes on July 15 with the score of a Professional Golf Association member from last weekend’s British Open. They must pick a PGA member before the tournament. Jordan Spieth was a popular choice. And those who picked him reaped the
benefit of his strong Open performance. Although Spieth didn’t win the Open, finishing fourth one stroke behind a trio who went to a playoff, his 274 helped Bill Mullins take the PMGA Open title. Mullins fired a net 64 on July 15 to combine with Spieth’s score for a 338. He finished two strokes ahead of Jessie Smith, who also picked Spieth but shot 66 for combined score of 340. Nobody picked Marc Leishman or Louis Oosthuizen, who participated in
the playoff and wound up second and third, respectively. Only one person picked Zach Johnson, who won the playoff and the Open championship. That was Herb Sherman, who carded 72 to combine with Johnson’s 273 to finish seventh at 345. Terry Lindsey wound up tied for third with Ed Flores. Lindsey shot a net 66 and picked Justin Rose, who shot 277 for a combined 343. Flores shot 69 and picked Spieth, as did five of the top six
and seven of the top 12. Gary Campbell and Ron Fischer tied for the second-lowest net scores (65), but they picked Rickie Fowler, whose 282 left them tied for eighth at 347. John Calderwood sank it from 16 feet 6 inches on No. 9 to win longest putt. Closest-to-the-pin winners were: Don Pollock (No. 2, 12 feet 8 inches), Lindsey (No. 5, 3-9), Lou Crabtree (No. 8, 3-11), Lindsey (No. 14, 4-0), and Gary Campbell (No. 17, 10-0).

conditions on Roosevelt Lake which means hotter daytime temperatures, deeper water fishing and in most instances, smaller bait presentations. A deep-water drop-shot technique using a 4-inch Roboworm or a slow falling 1/4-ounce spider jig are the types of baits commonly used during the summer. If these techniques don’t sound
too inviting to you, you’ll need to get to the lake at first or last light. During the first and last hour, reports indicate that bass are chasing shad actively and can be caught on several reaction baits such as crankbaits, jerkbaits, frogs and spinnerbaits. An option to fishing at first light or dusk is to get to the lake at 4 a.m. and fish until 9. Safe light is getting a little
later each day and now is around 5:15 in the morning. Fishing until 9 a.m. allows you to experience the morning action and still gets you off the water before the temperatures become too overwhelming. In addition, there will be a full moon on July 31, which helps the fishing conditions, and perhaps more importantly, helps us humans see a little better during the night. Crappie fishing reports have been fair recently. Crappie typically are in schools this time of year, always near structure such as a ledge or overhang or near cover. Examples of cover would be brushes, trees, logs or anything not natural to the bottom contour of the lake. A small jig-head suspended in a water depth of 25-35 feet, will get you to prime crappie locations.
Late July and early August are premium times to fish for trout in the Rim lakes and streams. The weather is perfect and the Arizona Game and Fish Department summer trout-stocking program ensures there is an abundant supply of rainbow trout waiting to be caught. If you haven’t visited one of the Rim lakes or streams mark your calendar for a weekend during August. You won’t be disappointed. Rim Custom Rods here in Payson builds custom fishing rods and can repair any broken rod. In many cases, the rod can be repaired in minutes while you wait.

The children participating in a summer reading program sponsored by Payson Community Kids and Rim Country Literacy and supported by the Suns Charities have read 1,289 books and logged into 146 hours of online reading. Payson Community Kids will restart its after-school program on Aug, 11.
Kids read 1,289 books in PCK program Payson Community Kids and Rim Country Literacy teamed up to offer a summer program as part of their RimKids Project. The Suns Charities provided funding for supplies and materials, as well as four summer youth workers. “Many children in elementary school can benefit from additional time spent in reading and math,” said Marilyn Horne, program director for Rim Literacy. “The summer is often a time when children do not engage in learning activities. This summer we averaged 45 children each day in the reading and math enrichment programs. Then, after a morning of learning, the children ate lunch and had a variety of fun activities in the afternoon.” Payson Schools Summer Food Service Program provided breakfast and lunch.
“PCK has always been a place for children to belong,” said Suzy Tubbs, board president for PCK “and this summer we worked to offer new recreational activities that the children would enjoy. There was a Bounce House and Water Play day and the children did some gardening. Over all, it has been a terrific summer.” Rim Country Literacy and Payson Community Kids began the RimKids Project collaboration in 2013. The goal of the partnership is to better serve the children of Payson and use resources more effectively. In 2014, Kaitie’s Closet joined the collaboration to help low income and at-risk children. Funding from foundations like the Suns Charities has helped the organization increase the numbers of children served and

All the elementary children participate in art and reading each Tuesday and Thursday. Kids can get homework help and learn about art and literature. Younger children receive individualized tutoring in reading, while the older elementary children participate in the RazKids and Read Theory programs. Since January the children have read 1,289 books and logged 146 hours in online reading. PCK will be on break until August 11 when the after-school program resumes. Children in grades K-12 are welcome to attend, but a parent must register the child. For more information call PCK at (928) 478-7160.

Deputies chase, catch man on stolen ATV by
Alexis Bechman
roundup staff reporter
Sheriff deputies arrested a Pine man Sunday after he reportedly fled on a stolen offroad vehicle. Matthew Otis, 48, led officers on a chase near Whispering Pines around 5 p.m., said Lt. Tim Scott with the Gila County Sheriff’s Office. A U.S. Forest Service officer out on patrol spotted Otis driving erratically on the side-by-side UTV, but when he tried to stop him, Otis reportedly continued to travel west on the Control Road. A Gila County Sheriff’s Office sergeant then tried to stop Otis
by blocking the roadway with his vehicle, but Otis evaded the roadblock, nearly striking the sergeant, according to reports. Several other officers joined in on the chase, with Otis heading northbound on State Route 87 toward Pine. Otis turned off
on Bradshaw Road in Pine and officers finally stopped Otis in the 6100 block of Bradshaw Road. Police arrested Otis on charges of possession of a stolen vehicle, reckless driving, driving on a suspended license, aggra-
vated assault on a police officer, resisting arrest, failure to comply with a lawful order, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, failure to display license plate, no valid insurance and no current registration.

surrounded by concrete ... this action ... is just simply, a serious mistake.” The town has been grappling with water quality questions in the lake ever since it finished an erosion analysis several years ago. “We had an analysis done on our lakes a few years ago to look at the erosion problem,” said Tanner Henry, manager of the Payson Water Department. The study found that despite the small size of the lake, the waves got big enough to erode the banks. Little by little, the shoreline continued to sink into the lake. If the town didn’t do anything, the lake would return to a meadow. Green Valley Lake was the brainchild of Buzz Walker, who cooked up the idea while driving by the former meadow next to the Julia Randall Elementary School site with Rich Williamson. “We looked over here and saw pasture — low lands — owned by the federal government,” said Walker. The two men decided a lake at that location could solve two pressing problems for the town — how to recharge groundwater and how to make use of reclaimed wastewater produced at the Northern Gila County Sanitary District. Once built, the lake also became an anchor for recreation in the park and another as an urban fishing lake stocked by the Arizona Game and Fish Department. And that’s how the reed and rush removal started. Last summer, the town received a $25,000 grant from Game and Fish to stabilize the banks of the lake by installing concrete blocks. While in the process of stabilizing the banks, Game and Fish told the town it was having trouble safely stocking the lake because pH levels were off. “The Game and Fish Department will not stock fish when pH is greater than 9.5,” said Dan Utz, the water quality specialist for the water department. Numerous things caused the high pH levels starting with the high levels of nitrogen and phosphorus in the reclaimed water. “Reclaimed water has higher nutrient concentrations than rainwater which leads to challenges in maintaining fishery water quality requirements,” said Utz. The additional waste from waterfowl further stimulates algae growth, which increases the pH of the water and decreases oxygen. It can also create

Payson’s Green Valley Park has 12 waterfowl per acre. A normal lake would have about three per acre, say town officials.
an odorous lake, said Utz. Moreover, Green Valley Lake has a plethora of waterfowl. “Public feeding of wildfowl has disrupted natural migration, resulting in a year-round problem of excessive waterfowl, increasing the nutrient load,” said Utz. He said normally, natural lakes attract about three birds per acre. In comparison, Green Valley has 12 birds per acre — too many to maintain the water quality for the fish stocked by Game and Fish. In his guest editorial, Hinkie lamented, “I was assuming that after the cement shore blocks were installed the city would allow the reeds and rushes to grow back in the lake. The answer is no. They will not allow the habitat to grow back.” But that was always the plan. Henry reported a year ago that the town obtained another grant to put in a fish gate on the large Green Valley Lake to keep in the non-native, weed-eating white amur fish contained in the lake. “What those fish eat is algae and aquatic plants,” said Henry. Utz said Payson will not put a concrete barrier along the dam wall, but will install the blocks against all the other shorelines. “Installing a shore wall improves fishing access, stops shoreline erosion, and makes the lake less attractive to wildfowl,” he said, “Removing cattails improves water quality by reducing pH. We appreciate your concern for Green Valley Park and your help in keeping the park clean.”

READ ALL ABOUT IT!
Book festival filled with authors and book lovers by
Andy McKinney
special to the roundup
As a wannabe author I stood in awe of the 60 accomplished, successful authors at the Payson Book Festival. Authors from Rim Country and all over the state showed their wares. Authors of every possible sort of book, every genre, from self-help to modern romance, displayed their work. I had a chance to speak to many of them. Each author had a unique take on the writing craft and a unique personal journey. Some of their stories follow. Annapolis graduate Anne A. Wilson, now of Fountain Hills, served for nine years as a U.S. Navy helicopter pilot. Smart and brave, the now mother of two sons flew Navy choppers in the Persian Gulf. Her first book “Hover” hit the market in June of 2015 so readers can get a nice fresh copy. Her novel has strong echoes of Wilson’s own career. “Hover” falls squarely into the thriller slot. It will be followed next year by “Clear to Lift” a tale about a chopper jockey working in search and rescue. No surprise that Anne Wilson also saved lives in real life as a search and rescue pilot. Former Paysonite Mark Plets brought his historical novel “Kelly” to the festival. The 31-year-old Plets now resides in New River, Ariz. His story has a 17th century Irish setting. He is a full-time writer and also has a work in the mode of “paranormal romance.” He believes that writ-
ing, music and the arts in general have a transformative power for the people who practice and experience them. He may be right. The “paranormal romance” genre also struck the fancy of author Mimi Sebastian, an urban planner by training. She had me when she mentioned zombies. In the strictest sense her novel “The Necromancer’s Seduction” involves revenants, but revenants are close enough to zombies for me. She has three books in her necromancer series and another more traditional romance called “Devil’s Island” about pirate captain Boone Wilder and his beautiful captive Sabine Tanner. Sebastian has three children, a full-time job with the government, a husband and still finds time to write. She began her serious writing career only four years ago. San Tan Valley resident Theresa Sneed provides us with “Salem Witch Hunt” — a time travel book. Sneed is the ninth generation of descent from Susanna North Martin, one of the women slain in the crazed spasm we now call the Salem Witch Trials. In “Salem Witch Hunt” a teenage girl flies back in time and tries to help her ancestor escape the hangman’s noose. Schoolteacher Sneed has six books out so far and all of them have plenty of suspense and action, but none of them have “adult” situations or bad language. In fact, she says her books are perfect for book reports and can be enjoyed by all.

Payson Mayor Kenny Evans declared July 25 to be official Payson Book Festival Day. The mayor came out to support the event and welcomed Story Monster with open arms. By contrast Arlene Hittle writes in the genre of contemporary romance with a humorous slant. Her books are more for adults than for all comers. She titles include “Blind Date Bride,” “Home for the Holidays” and a three-book series about the romantic antics of baseball players. Hittle lives and works in

Behind the scenes at the Payson Book Festival by
Andy McKinney
special to the roundup
I stole a couple of minutes of time from Carol Osman Brown, one of the committee members who arranged the magnificently successful Payson Book Festival. Brown heads the Rim Country District of Arizona Professional Writers, the group who partnered with Gila Community College to put on the festival. Readers might remember APW’s predecessor group Arizona Press Women. GCC and APW teamed to bring some 60 authors to Payson to show their stock, share experiences and to expand their professional knowledge through a daylong series of talks by writers, authors and editors. Brown said, “Like all good stories, the festival started with a question. Connie Cockrell asked us if there had ever been a Payson Book Festival.” With that simple query began the yearlong climb into the unknown, which resulted in the epic book bonanza Saturday, July 25. Cockrell quickly became the chairman of the planning com-
mittee and the hub of the effort. Marie Fasano helped connect authors with the newspaper for book reviews. Carol Osman Brown, who helped with publicity and Jamie Bruzenak, the website boss, also served on the committee. The quartet of enthusiasts all worked together, helping and encouraging each other on the multitude of tasks needed to make the whole come together. Among the many supporters of the festival were Payson Mayor Kenny Evans who declared July 25 to be official Payson Book Festival Day. The committee members took an exploratory jaunt to Sedona to experience, evaluate and learn from the Sedona Book Festival. They sorted and adopted ideas and techniques that would best serve Payson. A major hurdle in putting on the festival revolved around funding. They hadn’t any. A small gift from Arizona Professional Writers assisted in getting them started and from there, generous local benefactors helped out. But the entire enterprise was held together with energy, effort, heart and a slender connection of funding.

Prescott, where she writes for the local paper and pens novels. Lots of other authors, too many to cover, strutted their talent at the Payson Book Festival. John Krygelski writes science fiction while Kitty Kessler has an instructive work, “The $35 Wife” on surviving a violent marriage. Payson writers like Sharon Langdale, Connie Cockrell, Susan Haught, Jim Hagen, Steven Andrew Cole, both Jinx and Jayne
Peace Pyle, Carole Mathewson, D’Elen McClain, Nancy Sheppard, Sherry Engler, Marsha Ward, Ken Crump and “Buckshot” Dot Johnson brought the vast shelf of local book writers to the attention of the public. We had a great day. Payson has a lot of talented people and a bunch of them exhibited at the first Payson Book Festival. Everyone is talking about and looking forward to a re-run. Let’s encourage the committee in that fruitful direction.
Brown particularly praised the Payson Roundup and KMOG radio for the help in getting the word out. She pointed out that children who share books with their parents when small read more and with more ability later on. Several children’s book authors repeated that thought and the now well-established notion that children who cannot read at level by third grade are in dire danger of lifelong difficulties. We need what the experts call “long form reading” rather than bumper stickers or text messages to fulfill reading activities. And the festival worked for us, as any of the hundreds of attendees, helpers, authors and volunteers will testify. It was grand fun and a tremendous inspiration to readers and writers both.
