Sun Devil mania!
Detectives say they’ve nabbed ‘major players’ in heroin scene by
Alexis Bechman
roundup staff reporter
The Payson Police Department continued to aggressively investigate any drug leads as the use and sale of heroin runs rampant through the community. On Friday, the department called out its Special Response Team (SRT) to serve a search warrant at a home where narcotic detectives believed drugs and illegal weapons sales were taking place. While they found some drugs and paraphernalia, they did not
find enough to warrant arrests for drug dealing, said Lt. Woody Eldredge. Officers found no weapons. Police booked four people into the Gila County Jail on drug charges. Eldredge said as they continue to serve search warrants, they find cell phones and new leads on drug sales. This time, narcotic detectives had information drug sales were taking place at a home in the 1000 block of West Saddle Lane,

EPA rules blasted by
Arizona officials oppose plan to cut pollution 34 percent

Payson was transformed into Arizona State North last week as the Sun Devils’ football team converged on Rim Country for its annual five-day stay at Camp Tontozona a few miles east of Payson. A sea of fans wearing maroon and gold flooded Camp T on Saturday morning as thousands began arriving at sunrise to get a good parking spot along the eastbound lanes of State Route 260, a portion of which was shut down to provide ample parking spots for the large crowd that filled every open space around the field tucked into the pines. They watched intently as they had their first opportunity to see players in game action do their best to move up the depth chart. The weekend kicked off with an ASU Football Pep Rally at Green Valley Park on Friday night. See the B section in today’s paper for our coverage of ASU’s Maroon and Gold Scrimmage at Camp T on Saturday, as well as the pep rally.

Opposition continues to build among Arizona elected officials to a plan by the Environmental Protection Agency to limit carbon dioxide and other pollutants produced by coal-fired power plants. In a bid to both protect human health and reduce pollutants thought to play a role in global warming, the EPA has issued rules that would require Arizona to cut the output of carbon dioxide by coal-fired plants by onethird. The first draft of the rules would have required a 50 percent reduction. Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich last week announced plans to join with 15 other states in an attempt to overturn the finalized rule. The EPA doesn’t have the legal authority to issue those mandates,” said Brnovich. “The pres- “The president is using the ident is using the EPA to bypass EPA to bypass Congress Congress and force these devand force these devastatastating regulations upon the ing regulations upon the states.” The state’s legal claim rests states.” on the assertion that because the federal government already Mark Brnovich regulates power plants under one

Payson plans added Green Valley Lake improvements by
Alexis Bechman
roundup staff reporter
With $325,000 in money to spend, the town is looking at projects to improve the lakes at Green Valley Park, with plans to add a waterfall at one of the smaller ponds. The town set aside money in 1994 when it sold its water rights to the Central Arizona Project for $5.4 million to Scottsdale. After taxes, the town got about $4.3 million. The money was earmarked for the development of new water sources, including $325,000 to enhance or preserve watershed riparian habitats in town. The town must spend that money by April of 2019. After sitting on the money for years, the town must spend the money before the deadline. So the town council formed the Environmental Projects Commission to come up with a few projects. After meeting once, the group met Friday to go over projects it would recommend. Among those, $103,000 for a fish fence at the large lake at Green Valley Park. The fence would run along the west side of the lake, the dam side, and keep fish in the lake in the event of flooding. LaRon Garrett, interim town manager and commission member, said they don’t want the fish “running away” and going downstream during a heavy rainstorm. Another $45,000 could go toward a sophisticated THE WEATHER

irrigation control system that would eliminate wasteful watering, such as when it has been raining, thanks to a built-in weather station. The commission has earmarked continued shoreline stabilization around the large lake at $150,000. For another $26,000, the commission wants to plant native trees and build a waterfall feature at the lake farthest east. The water for the lakes currently enters that lake underground. Garrett said they would move that pipe up and out and create a waterfall instead. This could enhance the oxygen level and help reduce algae, said Joel Goode, commission vice chair and district manager of the Northern Gila County Sanitary District. The commission had thought of putting in lakeside seating and shade structures, but went with the waterfall feature instead, according to commission meeting minutes from Aug. 6. The fish fence has already been designed and fabricated in-house with approval of Fish and Wildlife, Garrett said. The council needs to sign off on the projects and then the Bureau of Reclamation. If any of the projects run under budget, the commission suggested using leftover funds on fish and shaded Pete Aleshire/Roundup benches. The NGCSD has already agreed to pitch in $15,000 to Payson will spend $325,000 in money from a 1994 water settlement on improvements to the Green Valley Park lakes and other riparian features around town. help with the projects.

Two Globe residents were arrested Thursday for growing more than 60 marijuana plants at a home, according to the Gila County Sheriff’s Office. Patrick Steve Sanchez, 58, and Leah Deette Wills, 51, were arrested on various drug charges after officers found 64 marijuana plants at a Globe home on Sanders Lane. The Gila County Drug, Gang and Violent Crimes Task Force, Gila County Attorney’s Office, and the Globe Police Department also discovered 250 grams of processed marijuana, drug paraphernalia and a gun at the home. The street value of the marijuana is approximately $91,000. Sanchez and Wills were arrested on charges of marijuana cultivation, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. Sanchez was also charged with misconduct involving weapons in a drug offense and misconduct involving a weapon as a prohibited possessor.
Arizona politicians blast clean air rule From page 1A section of the Clean Air Act, it can’t impose additional regulations under different sections of the same act. Moreover, the new EPA rule would also require the states to increase reliance on renewable energy sources, like solar and wind. Brnovich said the EPA’s power to regulate air pollution doesn’t give it the legal authority to force the states to increase the use of renewable energy. Environmental groups hailed the regulations, the most important federal effort to reduce the production of heat-trapping

gases since a mandated increase in the mileage of new cars some years ago. Most climate scientists believe that the steady increase in carbon dioxide and other pollutants like methane will result in a significant rise in global temperatures in the coming decades, with potentially serious economic effects. However, many lawmakers blasted the proposed regulations — especially in Arizona, which remains unusually dependent on coal-fired power plants. Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Prescott), who represents Rim Country in Congress, said “President Obama and his EPA minions have continued their assault on jobs and affordable energy. This unnecessary power grab is further evidence that the president is more concerned with appeasing extremist environmental groups than with protecting the interests of the American people ... This new regulation will do little to nothing to lower global carbon emissions and will only embolden global competitors. The president is threatening to extinguish millions of good paying jobs, to cause energy prices to skyrocket and to further impoverish minorities, who are struggling to make ends meet.” EPAHowever, an commissioned analysis of the Clean Air Act estimated that between 2000 and 2020, the regulations will have a net benefit to the nation of nearly $2 trillion. Most of the benefits come from reducing illness from conditions worsened or caused by air pollutants. Recent studies have shown that the tiny soot particles produced by coal-fired power plants have a far greater impact on health and mortality rates than previously believed. Nationally, the study estimat-

ed the Clean Air Act rules affecting ozone and soot will avert about 60,000 premature deaths and 4 million lost days at work between 2010 and 2020. Most of those effects will take place in densely populated cities with heavily polluted air. By contrast, most of the coal-fired power plants in Arizona are in relatively remote locations. The controversy dates back to 2007, when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the law required the EPA to come up with regulations on greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide. Power plants account for 38 percent of the nation’s carbon dioxide emissions, with cars and trucks accounting for another 32 percent. The bulk of the power plant pollution comes from decades

old coal-fired plants, which dominate Arizona’s power supply. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce commissioned a study that estimated EPA’s effort to cut emissions 30 percent nationwide would cost businesses $50 billion annually, mostly in higher electricity costs. By contrast, The Natural Resources Defense Council did a study suggesting a net savings as a result of increased energy efficiency. For its part, the EPA estimates benefits will outweigh costs by a factor of 8 to 12 to one by 2030. The EPA put the costs at up to $9 billion, but suggested the rules would prevent 6,600 premature deaths annually and avert 150,000 asthma attacks annually. Many Arizona officials, however, predict an economic meltdown if the rules stand. Senators John McCain and Jeff Flake have prepared a bill to block implementation of the new standards, saying the EPA has failed to comply with a law requiring a detailed economic analysis of any new regulation. Sen. McCain said some rural power co-opts have suggested they will have to impose a 38 percent increase in electrical costs if the rule forces existing plants to either shut down or invest heavily in pollution control equipment. McCain decried the EPA’s “job killing mandates.” “These regulations are not a good-faith effort to protect public health or the environment,” said McCain. “Rather, they are an extension of the president’s executive action strategy to use his “pen and phone” to unconstitutionally forge a legacy — a legacy that will have a chilling impact on Arizona’s economy.”

Reckless. Simply reckless. Lawmakers on the losing end of the vote to add 300,000 people to the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System continue to try to overturn the vote in court. The 36 lawmakers who have filed suit include Rim Country’s representatives in the House — Bob Thorpe (R-Flagstaff) and Brenda Barton (R-Payson). They seek to overturn a decision by the Legislature almost three years ago to accept federal funding to expand AHCCCS eligibility to 134 percent of the federal poverty line — and to cover childless adults as well. The federal government will cover nearly 100 percent of the cost of the expanded coverage and the law would drop the increased eligibility if the federal share ever falls below 85 percent. The dissident lawmakers maintain that instead of the simple majority vote then-Gov. Jan Brewer obtained, the measure required a two-thirds vote. They argue that proponents included a hospital fee to cover any state costs that arose from Bob Thorpe the addition of those 300,000 fellow citizens as part of the Affordable Care Act. Since the federal government is currently covering almost all of the costs of the expansion, the hospital fee actually helped reduce the state deficit in other programs. However, the dissidents argue that the fee amounts to a tax, which means under the terms of the voter-ap- Brenda Barton proved Proposition 108 it required a two-thirds vote. Supporters of the expansion, on the other hand, say the hospital charge amounted to a fee, since it will help the hospitals reduce the bill they must pay when people without insurance show up in the emergency room. An estimated 87 percent of hospitals paying the fee would receive more benefit than the fee/tax/whatever costs. But the arguments in court made it clear there’s far more at stake than health care for 300,000 people — paid for almost entirely by the federal government. If the argument of the 36 lawmakers prevails, the state could find itself suddenly having to return hundreds of millions of dollars in other fees. The state lawyers defending the AHCCCS expansion cited 89 fees included in 41 pieces of legislation passed between 2007 and 2012 that could end up in the same legal bucket as the AHCCCS hospital fees. Many of those bills authorizing the fees and allowing agency directors to set the amounts got only a simple majority vote when they passed the Legislature. Forcing the case through court could work enormous mischief with the state budget and the ability of many agencies to cover their costs for services they provide. Of course, simple compassion for the 300,000 people who would lose their health care ought to persuade lawmakers like Thorpe and Barton to withdraw their support from the lawsuit. We understand many lawmakers had legitimate fears about the impact of the expansion of AHCCCS, the increased federal control over the program and the possible, long-term cost to the state. However, we believe the measure Gov. Brewer supported had adequate safeguards — and is bringing hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding into the state to provide medical care for the working poor. Nearly one-third of the population of Gila County depends on AHCCCS for medical care — so representatives Barton and Thorpe do a grave disservice to their constituents to attempt to jerk that coverage away from thousands of Gila County residents now. We recognize that the lawsuit will continue, whether our own representatives drop their support or not. But a withdrawal from the lawsuit would send a welcome signal to voters that their representatives care about their welfare. Then if the federal government does renege on its promise to provide at least 85 percent of the support for the expanded program, the Legislature can revisit the decision to expand the program. But in the meantime, pursuing this lawsuit is not only heartless — it’s reckless.

EPA standards expensive Editor: We now have more than 20 candidates running for president. Wouldn’t you think that one of them would bring up the fact that the EPA is getting ready to impose new ozone standards in the fall that will probably put most coal-powered plants out of business? Wouldn’t you think they could get beyond their social issues talking points and tell us their position on something that is coming that really could hurt us? I haven’t heard a word about this from any of them. The cost of meeting new standards will put many businesses out of business. The cost of heating and cooling our homes will skyrocket and jobs will be lost. More than 50 Democratic congressmen (including the two ladies from Arizona) have asked this administration to delay this action until it is better understood what the reduction might be. Is the cost worth the gain? Most people don’t think so, but you aren’t hearing about this from the presidential candidates. Joe Ryan

Enjoyed miniature golf experience Editor: Just a note to state how pleased my wife and I were to visit Pirate’s Hideaway Mini Golf and Entertainment Center last week. The chicken tacos were especially good for lunch and the golfing was a blast (watch out for the 18th hole). Owner Pat Gorman and the staff were friendly and helpful. I’m glad we have this fun activity here in Payson. Rick Hatch

The 131st running of the World’s Oldest Continuous Rodeo starts this weekend, with a Thursday night session of the Women’s Professional Rodeo to get the horses galloping. Besides the Thursday night session, the rodeo runs Friday night, Saturday afternoon and again on Saturday night. Along the way, you can enjoy a parade down Main Street, dances Friday and Saturday night at the rodeo grounds and a host of other events.
Rodeo events Thursday through Saturday by
Teresa McQuerrey
roundup staff reporter
Tilt your head just right as those magnificent teams of women and men and beasts bust out of the chutes into the arena, you can see shadows in the dust reaching back 131 years. At least 200 of the best cowboys and barrel racers are expected to participate in the 2015 World’s Oldest Continuous Rodeo at the Payson Event Center. Guests will see contestants compete for the best times and prize money in the “Big Seven” — bareback riding, barrel racing, bull riding, saddle bronc riding, steer wrestling (sometimes called bull-dogging), team roping and tie-down roping (also known as calf roping). Starting with the Women’s Professional Rodeo barrel race competition and other events the evening of Thursday, Aug. 20, the rodeo arena lights will brighten the Rim Country’s night skies. In addition, the ropers, racers and bull riders will gather for perfor-
mances Friday night and both afternoon and evening competitions on Saturday. The “Tough Enough to Wear Pink” theme on Friday will yield donations to breast cancer support groups for every contestant and audience member wearing pink. Patriotism is the theme for the Saturday night show. The Rodeo Parade is at 9 a.m., Saturday, Aug. 22 starting at Green Valley Park and moving east on Payson’s Historic Main Street to the Sawmill Crossing. The U.S. Marine Corps Mounted Color Guard will take part in Saturday’s parade and in that evening’s Patriotic Performance. The Cowgirls Historical Foundation, an award-winning equestrian drill team will also be part of the festivities with specially choreographed programs during the rodeo presentations. Following the evening performances of the rodeo another old-time tradition continues — the Rodeo Dance. Held under a big tent at the rodeo grounds, the family-friendly dances will
feature live music. Moonshine Mafia performs starting at 9:30 p.m., both Friday, Aug. 21 and Saturday, Aug. 22. Junction 87 will provide live music in advance of Saturday night’s show and DJ Craig Miller will have music playing prior to the Friday night show. See more about the 131st World’s Oldest Continuous Rodeo in The Rim Review Wednesday, Aug. 19, which will also show up in the Friday, Aug. 21 Roundup. Correction
In this week’s Rim Review, dedicated to the 131st World’s Oldest Continuous Rodeo, some information about the band, Moonshine Mafia, which will be playing at the rodeo dances following the performances Friday, Aug. 21 and Saturday, Aug. 22, was not up to date. The following information on the Moonshine Mafia band has changed: Levi Sopeland has replaced Taylor Hale as bass player and Charlie Pillow now plays fiddle for the band.
Chef’s challenge at the Payson Farmers Market PHS culinary students whip up fresh foods by
Menu and Prices for PHS Culinary Arts Farmers Market Breakfast Omelets: $6 Quiche: $6 Breakfast Sandwich: $6 Biscuits and Gravy: small $3 – large $5 Sodas and Water: $1
Michele Nelson
roundup staff reporter
The new Payson High School culinary arts instructor has wasted no time getting his advanced students out into the public and on the job. On Saturday, Aug. 15, Chef Richard Erskine brought Julia Basset, Coulter Conley, Tyler Porter and Silary Heinemann to the Payson Farmers Market with a breakfast menu of freshly made omelets, quiche, a breakfast sandwich, biscuits and gravy along with samples of dishes created with donations from farmers at the market. Chef Richard plans on rotating all his advanced students into the market breakfast program for the remaining four weeks it runs. Chef Richard said he did this same sort of program in Virginia with his culinary students. “I did this in Bristol,” said Chef Richard. “We sit down with ingredients and decide what we can create.” Chef Richard sends out students to the various farmers to receive donations to feature in dishes. He has his students tell everyone the ingredients that came from the farmers and various food vendors. The creative samples on Saturday included a farmers apple and onion tart, peach muffins, and a spicy pasta salad. “The apple and onion tart used apples, onions and garlic from the market,” said Porter as he served up a taste in a small cup to a shopper. He went on to explain that the peach muffins used peaches from the market and the spicy pasta salad used pasta from the market drenched in Ray’s Not Yet Famous Spicy Sauce. “People tell me it has a kick,”
Farmers Apple and Onion Tart Recipe developed by Payson High School culinary arts students along with instructor Chef Richard Erskine. 4 Granny Smith apples – peeled, cored and sliced thin, keep in lemon water to prevent browning until ready to use 3 onions – sliced thin 4 cloves garlic – minced fine 1/4 cup honey 8 ounces white cheddar cheese _ shredded salt and pepper cooking spray Spray bottom of 9 x 13 inch baking pan with cooking spray. Make two layers each of alternating sliced apples, onions and fresh garlic, drizzled with honey, shredded cheese and seasoned with salt and pepper. Repeat. Bake in 350-degree oven for approximately 30 minutes or until golden brown. Chef’s tip: Take a fork and dip into honey to make it easier to drizzle over tart. Chef’s note: All products came from our local farmers except salt, pepper and cooking spray.
said Porter. But the apple and onion tart was a hit with Jacque Lauderbaugh. She came back to the market to pick up more for her homebound husband after choosing the tart as a side to his breakfast sandwich. “My husband loved the potatoes,” she told Porter. “They aren’t potatoes,” said Porter. But she must not have heard or believed Porter because she immediately turned to ask Chef Richard about the dish. He told her the secret of the tart was apples. “Really? Those are apples?” she asked. Chef Richard gave her a double serving to take home to her husband. Conley spent most of his time flipping and mixing omelets. The son of Payson High School art teacher George Conley, Coulter said this was an excellent introduction into the life of a chef. Despite the heat of the day mixing with the heat of his pan, Coulter said he looks forward to working in a kitchen after he graduates. Basset and Heinemann took orders and helped to prepare dishes for customers until Chef Richard sent the two out to find the ingredients for next week. Customers complimented the program as a wonderfully value added booth at the Payson Farmers Market. Look for them on Aug. 22 and 29, and Sept. 5 and 12.

Hospice Compassus creates “Moments of Life” program Hospice Compassus Executive Director Mary Jane Rogers wants to remind the people in the Rim Country, “Hospice is not about dying but rather we enable patients to enjoy every ‘Moment of Life’ they can. People on Hospice often feel better after they get the support we give them and are able to start doing things they may not have been able to do for months or even years. We stress the importance of enjoying each Moment of Life and focus on the good things. Too many times we hear people say they wish they had known about Hospice sooner. It only takes a phone call to have a nurse come out and see you or a loved one or a neighbor. And we never charge a penny.” As an example of the Hospice Compassus Moments of Life program, volunteers Alan Yost and Randy Whitley met their Hospice Compassus patients at Green Valley Park for an afternoon of fishing and fun. It is one of the many activities volunteers at Compassus can do with their patients on any given day. When such a service is available it only makes sense to take advantage of opportunities that will improve not only the patient’s life but those of their caregivers, as well. “Often we see caregivers struggle under the weight of caring,” Rogers said.

Sonora Quest Labs now offers Direct Access Testing Sonora Quest Laboratories has launched My Lab ReQuest™, a new service empowering consumers in Arizona to take control of their health by ordering certain lab tests on their own. A new Arizona law, effective July 3, now allows consumers Direct Access Testing from a licensed clinical laboratory without physician orders. Direct Access Testing is the latest service from Sonora Quest Laboratories, the market leader, which is trusted by more doctors, hospitals and other healthcare providers throughout Arizona. Sonora Quest is part of the nation’s largest integrated laboratory system, providing laboratory services to patients in settings from primary care and specialists to hospital and long-term care, and performing more than 57 million diagnostic tests annually. All patients across the state of Arizona will benefit from the Sonora Quest Direct Access Testing service, which is offered at all of its 70 Patient Service Centers statewide — including the company’s facility in Payson. This includes access to centers in the metropolitan areas as well as communities at all ends of the state. “Naturally we are pleased to help consumers play a more active role in managing their health,” said Sonora Quest Medical Director, Robert Stern, M.D. “Direct Access Testing gives consumers more choice, flexibility and control over their
own health in a convenient, efficient and confidential way. This empowerment gets even better for consumers when these tests and potential follow-up actions occur as part of a strong relationship between a consumer and his or her primary health care provider.” All Direct Access Tests offered by Sonora Quest are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. In addition, Sonora Quest’s laboratories are accredited by the College of American Pathologists, the laboratory industry’s gold-standard accrediting agency, a defining distinction of Sonora Quest’s outstanding quality and proven testing processes. To ensure consistent quality and accuracy of testing, Sonora Quest Laboratories voluntarily participates in the College of American Pathologists’ proficiency testing as well as in-depth inspections of all laboratories. “This is a new era in health care consumerism, and as Arizona’s leading provider of diagnostic testing and information, we will do all we can to support the needs of the entire healthcare community,” said David A. Dexter, president and CEO of Sonora Quest Laboratories. “Consumers expect the most accurate and up-to-date diagnostic information to proactively manage their health so that they can make educated decisions,” he added. With My Lab ReQuest, Sonora Quest Laboratories offers consumers a select menu
of wellness health profiles and tests, including screening for environmental/pollen allergies, diabetes, heart health, immunity and infectious diseases. All tests are available via an easy online ordering form or at any of their convenient locations and are fully transparent with price clearly indicated for each test.

Veterans and their families are invited to participate in a town hall meeting, hosted jointly by the Phoenix VA Health Care System and the Phoenix VA Regional Office, in Payson at 5 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 27 at the Payson Public Library, 328 N. McLane Road. The meeting is open to all members of the public, including Congressional stakeholders, Veterans Service Organizations, state and local governmental and non-governmental organizations, and other community partners. The meeting is one of many being held around the country. The Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Robert McDonald, announced last year all Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare and benefits facilities would be holding town hall meetings to improve communications with and hear directly from veterans. These nationwide town hall events are an important step toward improving the delivery of benefits and services and rebuilding trust among all those VA serves. Phoenix VA Health Care System and Phoenix VA Regional Office representatives will be on hand to assist Veterans before the meeting, starting at 4:15 p.m., as well as during and after the town hall meeting with questions or issues related to their care and benefits.
McCain introduces permanent VA Choice Card Act U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) has introduced the Permanent VA Choice Card Act, legislation that would make permanent the three-year pilot program for the Choice Card, which was established under the Veterans Access, Choice, Accountability and Transparency Act to enable veterans who live more than 40 miles from a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) hospital or cannot access care in a reasonable timeframe. The one-year anniversary of the Veterans Access, Choice, Accountability and Transparency Act being signed into law was recently celebrated. This was a bipartisan bill that McCain said he was proud to have sponsored that begins to address the grave scandal of denied and delayed care of our nation’s veterans, which began in Phoenix before spreading nationwide. Senator McCain also released the following statement on the bill’s introduction: “In the wake of the scandal, I hosted a town hall where the families of some of those veterans recounted the unanswered phone calls and ignored messages, endless wait times, and mountains of bureaucratic red tape at the VA while their loved ones suffered from ultimately fatal conditions. “I am proud to have worked to pass bipartisan legislation to begin to right these wrongs, which included some of the most significant reforms to the VA in decades. The new VA Choice Card is the major reform initiative in the legislation. Under this provision, for the first time in history, veterans who live far from a VA medical facility or can’t make an appointment in a reasonable timeframe are provided the ability to receive the Choice Card and use it to see the doctor of their choice. Unfortunately,
Senator John McCain
the VA has been slow and reluctant to implement this program since the law’s enactment. It has failed to adequately distribute and educate qualified veterans about the Choice Card, restricted some veterans’ eligibility to receive it, and tried to move critical funds away from the program altogether. “…I am introducing the Permanent VA Choice Card Act to make the current three-year pilot program for the VA Choice Card permanent, removing the 40-mile limit and making all veterans eligible. This would help remove uncertainty from within the VA, among providers, and especially among our veterans, while sending a strong signal to all Americans that this program is here to stay. “More than a year after the VA scandal first came to light and a year since VA reform legislation was signed into law, wait times are still too long and veterans are still not getting the care they have earned and deserve. I urge my colleagues to support the Permanent VA Choice Card Act and make sure that no veteran is ever again denied the care they so desperately need.”

How Medicare covers diabetes David Sayen Diabetes is a serious disease. It can lead to kidney problems, glaucoma and other eye disorders, foot ulcers, amputation of feet or legs, stroke, diabetic coma, and even death. If your doctor thinks you’re at risk for diabetes, Medicare covers screening tests for it. And, if you develop the disease, Medicare covers a wide variety of medications, home testing equipment, supplies, and self-management training to help you cope with it. Screening tests are used to detect diabetes early. Some of the conditions that may qualify you as being at risk for diabetes include: • High blood pressure; • Dyslipidermia (a history of abnormal cholesterol and triglycleride levels); • Obesity (with certain conditions); • Impaired glucose (blood sugar) tolerance; • High fasting glucose (blood sugar). Medicare will pay for two diabetes screening tests in a 12-month period. After the initial screening, your doctor will determine when to do the second test. You and your doctor can discuss diabetes and any other health concerns you have during a “Welcome to Medicare” visit. Medicare covers this one-time review of your health, including counseling on any screenings, shots, or other care you may need. (You must have this visit within the first 12 months you’re enrolled in Medicare Part B.) In addition, Medicare covers an annual wellness visit with your doctor, during which you can develop or update a personalized prevention plan, based on your current health and risk factors. If you do develop diabetes, Medicare pays for self-management training to help you learn how to successfully manage the disease. Your doctor must prescribe this training for Medicare to cover it. The training covers a variety of topics, including the risks of poor blood sugar control; nutrition and how to manage your diet; options to improve blood sugar control; exercise and why it’s important to your health; and how to take your medications properly. Also, Medicare covers medical nutrition therapy services, to help you learn what foods to eat and how to follow an individualized diabetic meal plan.
• External insulin pumps and insulin the devices use; • Therapeutic shoes or inserts; • Screening tests, “Welcome to Medicare” visits, and annual wellness checkups.

Generally, Medicare Part B (medical insurance) covers services and supplies needed by people who have or are at risk for diabetes. Medicare Part D (the prescription drug program) helps pay for supplies for injecting or inhaling insulin.
• Drugs for maintaining blood sugar; • Insulin that isn’t administered with a pump. Medicare doesn’t cover everything, of course. Among the diabetes supplies and services not covered are: • Eye exams for glasses (called refraction); • Orthopedic shoes (for people whose feet are impaired but intact); • Cosmetic surgery. You can do many things to control your diabetes. Talk with your doctor about what, how much, and when you eat. Also talk with him or her about how much you should weigh, and the different ways you can reach your weight goal. Take your medications as directed, and discuss any problems you encounter with your physician. Be active for a total of 30 minutes most days. Keep tabs on your blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and cholesterol. If you smoke, quit. Medicare also covers counseling on how to stop smoking, if your doctor orders it. For more details on Medicare’s coverage of diabetes, read the brochure titled “Medicare’s Coverage of Diabetes Supplies & Services,” at:https://www.medicare.gov/Pubs/pdf/11022.pdf About the author

Here are some of the items covered under Part B:
Obesity and type 2 diabetes
• Home blood sugar monitors and related supplies, such as test strips, lancet devices, and lancets; • Foot exams and treatment (needed by people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy and loss of protective sensation); • Glaucoma tests;
Diabetes is a disease that makes it difficult for the body to manage its blood-glucose levels. Diabetes is broken down into two types: type 1 diabetes, which occurs when the pancreas cannot adequately produce enough insulin to regulate blood sugar; and type 2 diabetes, which occurs
when the body either resists the effects of insulin or does not produce enough to maintain a normal blood sugar level. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports type 2 diabetes has been occurring with increasing frequency among American children and adolescents over the past 20 years. The Mayo Clinic says 90 percent of diabetes cases are type 2, and 80 percent of these people are overweight. Being overweight or obese is a significant risk factor for type 2 diabetes, but many people do not know why. There is some evidence that fat cells are more resistant to insulin than muscle cells. In addition, being overweight taxes the body in other ways and can put more pressure on the body’s ability to properly control blood sugar and use insulin. Carbohydrate-rich diets full of simple sugars and refined foods can cause unhealthy spikes in blood-glucose readings. Individuals who overeat and lead sedentary lifestyles may not burn enough energy, and excess calories are then stored as fat, compounding the problem. The Obesity Society says type 2 diabetes is largely preventable, and research shows that lifestyle changes that include small amounts of weight loss (between 5 and 10 percent of body weight) can prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes. In fact, managing weight is the best thing a person can do to reduce their risk for diabetes. Losing as few as 10 pounds can markedly improve insulin resistance and make it much easier to manage blood sugar levels. In addition to losing weight, eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly can reduce a person’s risk of developing diabetes. Lean proteins, leafy green vegetables and complex carbohydrates will not spike blood sugar levels. Exercise helps burn calories and boost metabolism, and may even help the body use insulin more effectively. Type 2 diabetes can be a chronic, debilitating condition that leads to other illnesses. But type 2 diabetes is largely preventable, and losing weight and maintaining a healthy weight are great ways to lower your risk of diabetes.

It took 10 years, but the ball fields at Rumsey Park will finally see the light. The Payson Town Council last week approved spending $402,000 on lighting at the Kiwanis fields. The town built the fields in 2005. But before the town could install the planned “state-of-the-art” lighting system, planners ran out of money. The project went dark, limiting the number of tournaments the town could host. At a Payson Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, staff said the fields are about 33 percent efficient currently. With the new lights on 10 poles and 72 luminaries, the town hopes to host more baseball and softball tournaments. LaRon Garrett, interim town manager,
said the new lights should go up in October or November. The town initially budgeted $500,000 for the lights, but Musco Sports Lighting, LLC came in with a bid of $402,000 just for the equipment. It will take the town 10 years to pay off the lighting project. With a 4.95 percent interest rate, the project will cost $517,000. Besides the lights, the council has approved putting new artificial turf on the south soccer field, which ASU uses when it is rained out at Camp Tontozona for practices. That will cost $330,000. Garrett said the new field should be put in sometime this winter during the off-season. On the lights, Garrett said parks and recreation has asked the council for the equipment every year, but the town just didn’t have the money. The town will pay for the
project out of the general fund. The two, all-weather turf playing fields were built at the west end of Rumsey in 2005, where only backstops then stood. The fields were named the Kiwanis fields because the service club donated the money for the backstops. The two fields rely on artificial turf that provides a non-compactable, resilient, natural-earth feel that duplicates the playing conditions of real grass.. Rumsey Park’s north field, which is smaller than the south facility, was the first FieldTurf installed in the United States in August 1997, according to Roundup archives. Besides ASU, high school football and soccer squads use the fields for preseason practices. And the softball/baseball fields with lighting can now be used to host more tournaments.
Hotter weather boosts growth of fires Dry conditions over the last few days have led to increasing activity on a lightning-caused wildfire on the Tusayan Ranger District of the Kaibab National Forest. The 1,581-acre Rock Fire is growing within boundaries established by firefighters in hopes the fire will help enhance wildlife habitat, improve forest health, and reduce the potential for future high-intensity wildfires. Started by lightning on July 31, the Rock Fire, is located south of the Coconino Rim about 15 miles southeast of the town of Tusayan and is burning at a low-to-moderate level of intensity through an area dominated by ponderosa pine trees. Over the last few days, firefighters completed burn out operations along Forest Road
316 in anticipation of the wildfire’s growth in that direction. FR 316 serves as the eastern boundary of the planning area within which the Rock Fire will be held. On Thursday, firefighters conducted burn out operations in advance of the fire’s natural spread. This will ensure fire managers are able to keep the Rock Fire within pre-determined perimeters over the next several days as dry conditions in the forecast indicate that the wildfire will be active. Firefighters also continue to prepare for the fire’s likely spread by lining archaeological sites, range fences, trick tanks, and any other potentially fire-sensitive resources near the fire area. This important work ensures that as the Rock Fire grows, it won’t negatively Brandon Oberhardt, with the U.S. Forest Service, took this shot of impact other values in the area. operations on the Rock Fire in the Kaibab National Forest.

announced Thursday. The agency examined data provided by states upstream of Lake Powell and closer to the Gold King Mine spill. ADEQ’s analysis of data released by the Utah Department of Environmental Quality of samples collected about 100 miles from Lake Powell shows that water quality conditions in the San Juan River upstream of Lake Powell are generally consistent with pre-spill conditions. “Based on what we’re seeing with the water flowing into Lake Powell, we don’t expect there to be noticeable change in water quality in Arizona,” ADEQ Director Misael Cabrera said. “To put this spill into perspective, the 3 million gallon estimated volume of
the spill represents a minuscule fraction of a percent (0.000071 percent) of the total volume of 4 trillion gallons of water in Lake Powell,” Cabrera said. She said ADEQ does not expect this spill to have “shortor long-term negative impacts to Lake Powell and the downstream Colorado River.” Water contaminated with arsenic and heavy metals spilled from wastewater in the gold mine as the Environmental Protection Agency attempted to clean up the tailings and interior of the mine abandoned in 1929. The contaminated water spilled into the river, forcing the shutdown of domestic water intake and an outcry from downstream politicians and officials.
ADEQ will continue coordinating with public health and environmental agencies in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, as well as with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Navajo Nation officials to gather, analyze and share water quality data with each other and the public. Beginning Aug. 14, these officials began lifting water use restrictions for the Animas and San Juan rivers, because water quality conditions are returning to pre-spill conditions. Last week ADEQ completed sampling to characterize baseline water quality in Lake Powell and the Colorado River at Lee’s Ferry and submitted these samples for analysis with the fastest possible turnaround time.

Disabled adults enjoy special training 5.1 5.2 6.7 6.8 by
Michele Nelson
The long-empty Payson Unified School District building at the top of McLane isn’t empty any more. Gila County has rented the space for its Employment and Special Training program for special needs adults. On Thursday, Aug. 13 Program Manager Helene Lopez and her staff held an open house and ribbon cutting that drew a large crowd of parents, friends and family of Rim Country special needs adults. Inside, comfy blue couches surround a fireplace. A huge dining room table dominates the center of the room and a kitchenette greets visitors once they walk through the foyer. The whole experience feels more like a home than a government-run program. But that shouldn’t be a surprise, the program’s purpose is to improve the quality of life for all residents through self-sufficiency. Staff said self-sufficiency means many things for these adults. Some learn basic grooming skills, while others learn a trade. On its website the program announces its values are to “provide services with respect, dignity and compassion to a diverse population that enhances their self-esteem and community involvement.” (http://gilacountyaz.gov/government/community/ gest/index.php) The program began in 1975 to establish a philosophy of acceptance by the community of individuals with disabilities and continues to do that today. To find out more, please contact the office at 928402-7631 ext. 8664.
Mary Leone Schmidt fell asleep in death Aug. 6, 2015 in Payson, Ariz. Leone was born May 10, 1919 in Lime Springs, Iowa, the second child of Theophilus and Elsie Herpelinck. She had an older brother, Howard. The family lived on a small farm and raised dairy cows and chickens. They also had horses, ducks, dogs and cats, many of which were special pets. Leone had a cat named “Pesty” who would be the first in a long line of cats throughout her life. In the early 1900’s, Leone’s mother began to read sermons in the newspaper written by Charles T. Russell. She knew she had found the truths from the Bible that she had been searching for. She shared what she had read with the family. As a young child, Leone came to love and appreciate God’s Word. In 1935, Leone was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. In 1940, Leone married Elmer Schmidt. They were married for

Legendary coach savors Tontozona triumph Some 6,000 crowd hillsides to watch Sun Devils scrimmage by
Keith Morris

Above, players carry former ASU coach Frank Kush off the Camp Tontozona field after Saturday’s scrimmage.
Thousands of fans packed Camp Tontozona for Saturday’s ASU Football Maroon and Gold Scrimmage.
They carried the legend off the field one final time on Saturday. The man who spearheaded the building of Camp Tontozona as a preseason football camp and began the tradition of bringing Arizona State teams to that glorious place tucked away in the pines just east of Payson for 19 years beginning in 1960, walked onto the field to speak to this year’s players following the Maroon and Gold Scrimmage that ends Camp T. It’s something he’s done each of the four years since Todd Graham took over the program and restarted the tradition that Dennis Erickson ended in his four years leading the Sun Devils.

It was Graham’s idea. It’s been clear since he was hired as head coach that he’s a big believer in keeping the Camp T tradition alive and keeping today’s players connected to the past. Kush once again spoke briefly to the players on the field following the scrimmage. And those players seem to realize what a treat they’re receiving. “He’s the man that has brought Arizona State to Camp T,” said redshirt sophomore linebacker Chans Cox, who starred at Lakeside Blue Ridge High. “Having him come out on the field and talk to us is just huge, especially with his (current) health.

Payson turns out for 1st-ever ASU Pep Rally by

Youngsters eye ASU mascot Sparky in a pushup contest during Friday’s ASU Football Pep Rally at Green Valley Park.
Games, music, face painting and food all helped make Friday night’s ASU Football Pep Rally at Green Valley Park a success. Other factors included ASU football legend Danny White, ASU athletic director Ray Anderson, the ASU Football Cheer Team, as well as the Payson High cheer team. And, of course, the headliner of the night, ASU mascot Sparky, arrived on a helicopter. Kids ran to greet him and couldn’t seem to take their eyes off him as he interacted with them and Payson Parks, Recreation and Tourism Director Cameron Davis, who served as the master of ceremonies. While Sparky entertained, it was White who captured the focus of many of the adults in attendance as the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback spoke briefly. “I’m getting chills just standing here next to you,” Davis said as he introduced White. White had a stellar career at ASU, leading the Sun Devils to a 33-4 record and winning three Fiesta Bowls, setting seven NCAA passing records and being named an All-American in 1973, when he led the nation’s second rated offense. He finished with 6,717 passing yards, 64

ASU Pep Rally From page 1B touchdown passes and 42 interceptions. Also a standout punter, he averaged 41.7 yards per punt. He passed for 21,959 yards and 155 touchdowns with the Dallas Cowboys. He was a backup to Roger Staubach when the Cowboys won Super Bowl XII in 1978, completing 1 of 2 passes for five yards and rushing once for 13 yards. ASU retired his No. 11 jersey and he was inducted into the Football Hall of Fame, the State of Arizona Sports Hall of Fame and the Arizona State University Hall of Fame. In 2000, he was named the Arizona Athlete of the Century by The Arizona Republic. He said he has fond memories of this area. “It all started 15 miles up the road at Camp Tontozona,” White said. “And when I get to Payson, when I hit the intersection (of State Routes 87 and) 260 and I turn right, I start getting chills and my hair starts to stand up because I’m in the shadows of the place where I earned the starting job.” White offered some words of wisdom for the children at the
event. “Unfortunately, all kids today don’t have the situation I had growing up, a mom and a dad that would do anything in the world for me. But I think most kids know what’s right and what’s wrong. And if you’ll stay focused on doing the right thing, whether it’s on the computer, whether it’s music. “My mother came out on the street every day after school and dragged me out of the football game and made me practice the piano for 30 minutes for eight years. And she was brutal. “Well, you know what? I don’t throw footballs anymore, but I still play the piano every day and I love it,” he said to cheers and applause. He said playing piano helped him become a better athlete. “Our conditioning coach with the Dallas Cowboys put me through a test on a computer,” White said. “And the first thing he said to me was, ‘Do you play the piano?’ I said, ‘As a matter of fact, I do.’ He said, ‘Musicians make the best athletes.’ “I said, ‘What’s that got to do with football?’ He said, ‘What do you do when you play the piano? You see something, your eyes

send a message to your brain and your brain sends a message to your body. And the faster you can do all that, the better your hand-eye coordination and your reflexes are.’ I trained to become a football player by playing the piano. And I never realized it at the time. “My point is, if you’ll stay focused on doing good things, things that will develop you and not hanging out or being on a computer playing games or doing things that aren’t going to help you, look around and find other people who are doing good things and stick with them and surround yourself with them and sooner or later you’ll find out what it is that you’re going to be good at.” Although it seemed to be such a success, Davis said he doesn’t expect this to become an annual event. “The World’s Oldest Continuous Rodeo and Camp Tontozona are usually the same week,” he said. “The rodeo just happens to be a week later this year. But when they’re on the same week like they usually are, we need to support the rodeo.” When he learned the two events wouldn’t be on the same week, Davis began working on plans to hold a pep rally. He got ASU to throw its weight behind the project and he couldn’t be happier with the results. “Fantastic turnout,” he said. “We had no idea what to expect coming into this event. And we’ve got 500-700 people here tonight. This is a great event. We had great names with Danny White, the ASU athletic director, Ray Anderson. And they were enthusiastic about being here in Payson. And that can only help bolster future activities with ASU. Obviously this is a key thing as we’re trying to bring ASU here as a part of our college

that we’re pushing forward with and hopefully these kinds of relations, these kinds of bonds, will help us get there.” Like a high school football player watching ASU during its Maroon and Gold Scrimmage at Camp Tontozona the next morning, members of the Payson High spirit line were thrilled to perform in the same program with their ASU counterparts. “They were inspiring,” said sophomore Destiny Shannon. “They were really good,” said freshman Hailey Roberson, who liked the one-man stunts. Junior Jessica Reiter said it was a real learning experience for her. “It was really cool because sometimes the crowd wasn’t too involved and they just kept going,” she said. “The cheerleaders didn’t give up or anything. Everybody’s peppy with lots of energy.” The band Zero Gravity Fighters rocked the crowd for the final two hours of the four-hour event.

Game and Fish awards sportsman grants The Arizona Game and Fish Department has awarded nearly $75,000 in grant funding for local sportsmen’s organizations to provide public, hands-on, mentored projects focused on the retention of new hunters and anglers. Of the 17 proposals received for the latest grant cycle, 16
were approved and will be given $74,503 of the available funds. A five-member panel rated and scored the proposals. Grants were awarded through a competitive application process that closed June 22. Doug Burt, hunting and shooting sports program manager, said the Local Sportsmen’s
Group grant program is one way that Game and Fish supports these organizations, which are the backbone of wildlife conservation in Arizona. “The Local Sportsmen’s Group grant program is an investment in local organizations that, day in and day out, are teaching people how to be
safe, ethical and responsible hunter-angler conservationists,” Burt said. “Additionally, our focus is on ‘retaining’ participants, not just developing awareness and onetime experiences by applying the Adoption Sequence to this grant program and our existing Outdoors Skills Network.”

Payson impresses Longhorns excel at Camp Verde scrimmage by

Payson High senior Wyatt Chapman reaches for the goal line during a practice last week. Chapman scored two of the Longhorns’ nine touchdowns in a strong performance by the team in a controlled scrimmage at Camp Verde last week. The Longhorns open the season at Fort Defiance Window Rock on Friday.
The Longhorns appear ready for the season opener. Four Longhorns scored two touchdowns apiece as Payson exploded for nine scores and the defense smothered the Cowboys in a controlled scrimmage on the road Friday night at Camp Verde. Wyatt Chapman, Ruben Estrada, DiAndre Terry and Chaz Davis each scored a pair of TDs. Cameron Moore added another in the event, which differs from an actual game in that score is not kept, there is no clock and, instead of using kickoffs and punts, both offenses start with the ball in enemy See Friday’s territory with a Roundup for the certain number of plays before Payson High the other team’s football season offense gets its chance and both preview. varsity and junior varsity players play. Coaches stand on the field behind their offense in this teaching exercise. The offensive line of left tackle Trent Cline (So.), left guard Donovan Cross (Sr.), center Korben White (Jr.), right guard Tito Vega (Sr.) and right tackle Sammy Bland (So.) “played a great game,” said head coach Jake Swartwood. “They created very nice running lanes and the boys ran well behind them.” The varsity defense allowed just two first downs. “We swarmed the ball well and tackled much better (than last year),” Swartwood said. “They produced several turnovers.”
Among those that opened eyes was sophomore Wyatt Taylor. “He had a great few series with the JV defensive group and will get some reps with the varsity group,” Swartwood said. The Longhorns open the season at Fort Defiance Window Rock at 7 p.m. on Friday.

Crappie anglers are catching good numbers during the evening and nighttime using live minnows fished about two feet below a split shot weight is a very effective night-

Rim Country trout fishing continues to offer excellent opportunities for skilled and novice anglers. Stocked rainbow trout will mostly stay within a few hundred yards of the stocking area. So keeping this in mind, a good pair of polarized sunglasses will permit anglers to sight these trout in pools along a stream. Then it’s just a matter of making an
accurate cast using PowerBait, a small fly or even a worm to land a perfectly sized trout. In addition to pools, look for overhangs or areas where the stream narrows that will hold trout. Also logs, boulders and ledges are prime trout locations. Have a great week of fishing next week and I hope see you on the water. James Goughnour owns Rim Country Custom Rods.

Auction will benefit kids This year’s Third Annual Payson Community Kids (PCK) Chair-ish Festival of Furniture and Other Fine Things has expanded significantly beyond chairs, stools and benches. In addition to opening the creative entries to other types of furniture such as side tables, picnic tables, and a new full-size couch, the public can bid on a whimsical child-size playhouse, original art by local and nationally renowned painters, quilts, and even a cupcake decorating class. The event kicks off on Friday, Aug. 21 when the online bidding site at paysoncommunitykids. com opens for public bidding. Online bidding ends on Sept. 21, the day of the grand finale, when the public can see all the entries in person, place their final bids, and congratulate the winners. “There are three different aspects of this year’s event. We are selling $20 tickets for the Native Air $1,000 in Cash raffle, we have the month-long,
online silent auction bidding with more than 50 entries and a live auction on Sept. 21 for a few select items. Examples for the live auction include dinner-for-eight in your home prepared by famous chef and author Barbara Fenzel and the childsize designed playhouse,” said Suzy Tubbs, PCK president. Beginning Aug. 21, the PCK Web page will have photographs and descriptions of all of the items. In addition to the opportunity to bid, there is a “Get it Now” price for any item someone decides they just must have. Of course, Native Air $1,000 in Cash raffle tickets may be purchased online throughout the month. The grand finale on Monday, Sept. 21 will be held from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Messinger community room, 901 S. Westerly Road, where all entries will be on display. Refreshments and heavy hors d’oeuvres will be served.
Pumping prompts Valley to sink by one inch each year The ground level in portions of the metro Phoenix area is dropping at an annual rate of nearly an inch a year due to pumping of groundwater from subsurface aquifers, say two Arizona State University scientists. Apache Junction, at the east end of the Valley, is seeing the fastest drop, followed by Sun City West, Peoria, and the North Valley. If the subsidence continues for many years, it could have costly impacts. Structures such as the Central Arizona Project (CAP) and other canals, utility lines, water and gas mains, storm drains, and sewers are most affected, while office buildings, apartments and homes can also suffer damage as ground levels drop. “Pumping groundwater alters the elevation of the land surface at different rates around the Valley,” says ASU researcher Megan Miller. “This happens because the sedimentary basins in the Phoenix metropolitan area vary in thickness and properties.” Miller, a graduate student, and professor Manoochehr Shirzaei, both of the School of Earth and Space Exploration, work with synthetic aperture radar carried on Earth-orbiting spacecraft. Such radar can mea-

sure ground elevations to less than an inch over wide areas. The study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research, come from 1992-1996 relied on elevation data from 2003-2010. “In parts of Chandler, Mesa and Scottsdale, the ground level has risen in recent years,” Miller says. “This is because we are storing the unused part of our water allotment in the ground.” But she notes that this cannot be done everywhere, and it cannot undo much of the subsidence that has previously occurred. “In areas where the land has subsided, the basin layers have become compacted. When water was pumped out, the pore spaces in the aquifers became empty, and the layers settled until the spaces were eliminated,” Miller explains. The water table — the height of the groundwater level — has increased during the period they studied, even where the surface elevation of the land has fallen, says Miller. The continued sinking of the surface is from pumping that occurred years ago. The demand for water has remained relatively stable during this time, mainly due to the decline of agriculture in the Valley. Miller notes, “As more people have moved here, they

have settled on land that previously grew crops, which use more water.” Because residential and industrial areas use less water per acre than agriculture, the population increase has been offset by the decrease in agricultural water use. The net result, says Miller, is that demand held fairly steady during the study period, but the source of demand has changed. “Eventually,” Miller says, if current supply and demand trends continue, “we will no longer have a surplus.” Then, she explains, “the water table will resume dropping.” Groundwater pumping has two main effects, one shortterm, the other long. “The biggest short-term problem is earth fissuring, or cracks that develop and threaten structures and their foundations,” says Miller. “Longer term, the changes in surface level can affect where floodwaters go, which could produce huge problems for the Valley.” A second long-term effect occurs, she adds, when groundwater withdrawals continue: The subsidence reduces the aquifer system’s capacity to store water. “We live in a desert, and our underground canteen is getting smaller.”

Tontozona triumph From page 1B carry him off the field. It’s just something really special.” An estimated 6,000 fans showed up for Saturday’s scrimmage. They filled the few rows of stands, but most brought their own folding chairs and set them up as close to the field as they could, or on the side of the big hill on the north side of the field adjacent to the more famous incline on the south side of the playing surface known by ASU players as Mt. Kush because the coach had players climb that mountain once each trip to Camp T. Kids led the way as fans rushed onto the field after Saturday’s scrimmage seeking autographs. Lines grew for the most popular players like quarterback Mike Bercovici and receiver D.J. Foster. And Frank Kush. The first fortunate individual in line for his signature was a little girl. “What’s your name,” Kush asked. “Brookii, her father replied.” The old coach looked up and said, “What?” “It’s Brookii,” her father said. “It’s spelled B-R-O-O-K-I-I.” Yes, things have changed since the days that “The Man,” as he was called by his players, roamed the ASU sidelines. He looked at the man, then down at the girl, who stared back at him with an expression that seemed to say, “Yes, that’s my name.” With a twinkle in his eye and a smile on his face, he signed, Frank Kush.
He then handed the item back to the very lucky little girl. Maybe they are too young to appreciate it, but he made several other boys and girls lucky, as well. There aren’t many men like Frank Kush. Kush coached the Sun Devils to a 176-54-1 in his 22 seasons (1958-79) at ASU, including a 12-0 season in 1975. Of course, Sun Devils’ mascot Sparky had quite a line of admirers himself as he signed right next to Kush. I wonder which signature will be more appreciated as these kids grow into adults. Well, not really.

Channel 3 morning hosts Olivia Fierro and Scott Pasmore headed up a session set in Payson, with three camera crews deployed throughout town in advance of this weekend’s 131st World’s Oldest Continuous Rodeo. On program breaks, members of the Payson Pro Rodeo Committee even gave the Valley city slickers a lesson in two-stepping.
Payson takes a star turn on Valley station by

roundup staff reporter
In a scant week and a half, Payson Parks, Recreation and Tourism Director Cameron Davis and Channel 3 producer Jessica Parsons rounded up representation from all the major events and groups in Rim Country. Parsons said she saw Davis’ Facebook blasts on the Camp Tontozona festivities. She hadn’t been to Payson for years she said. “I’ve driven through here to go to Woods Canyon Lake,” she said, a big smile on her face from all the fun. The Channel 3 morning show had three crews roaming Rim Country from Camp Tontozona near Kohl’s Ranch, to Native Grill and Wings to Green Valley Park where Davis and Parsons coordinated numerous groups. Davis and Parsons rustled up the Payson Pro Rodeo Committee, who came decked out in their official dress and obligatory cowboy hats. Committee members talked up the upcoming August Doin’s Rodeo— along with swinging hosts Olivia Fierro and Scott Pasmore around in a rousing session of two-step. Paige Creasy, Payson Rodeo’s Junior Teen Queen brought her horse and dressed to impress with pure white chaps and the official red shirt. Hair curled jauntily the extremely poised seventh-grade student proudly said she travels the state representing the Payson Rodeo. The Rim Country Classic Auto Club lined up some of its best cars and talked up their event. Barbara Chism took the hosts through the Rim Country Museum showing off the exhibits from Native American to Zane Grey. Later in the show, the Fierro and Pasmore took a tour of the replica of Zane Grey’s cabin.

GCC’s cosmetology program boasts three graduates by
Gena Hall
Michele Nelson
roundup staff reporter
The first three students to complete all the requirements to qualify for a cosmetology license will graduate by the end of summer. Valerie Brookhart
Brookhart graduated from Payson High School in May of 2014. She said her love of doing art drew her to the program. “I wanted to have a career where I could be creative and help people feel happy and confident. Brookhart grew up in Payson and has done art all her life. “I have been involved in art my entire life, taking art classes and doing artwork for people upon request,” she said. Her love of art helped Brookhart find her niche in nails. “My favorite thing to do while in the school was nails and nail art,” she said. “To me it’s a form of painting that makes me feel at home while working.” She hopes to stay in Payson practicing her nail art, then hopefully work in a salon on a cruise ship.
Hall found cosmetology after completing her first career as a project manager for the state of Arizona. She said her job had her involved with planning buildings leased in Gila and Pinal counties from floor plans to interior decorating. Although the job allowed her to be creative, it came with a lot of stress. Once she retired, she decided she wanted something different. “After I retired, I gave some thought to what I really wanted to do and I decided I would like to help women feel pretty about themselves,” she said. That desire drew Hall to focusing on facials, waxing and lash extensions. She too hopes to stay in the area. “Upon completion of this program and some advanced training, I plan to open a studio and offer these services to the community,” she said. Hall said she really appreciated all the work Payson Campus Dean Pam Butterfield and the instructors (Karen Hunter and Cheryl Ritch) put into the program. “They were interested in our goals and they created a program where we were supported and encouraged to focus

Barr also grew up in Payson. She said
the way she felt leaving salons as a young girl drew her to pursue cosmetology. “Growing up, I always loved going to salons and getting my hair and nails done,” she said. “I loved the way it made
me feel — confident, feminine, beautiful. Everyone should feel that way ... I want to be a part of making that happen.” Barr said she also hopes to stay in Payson, especially since she learned so much about working at loving what you do. “I … worked at Scoops Ice Cream and Espresso for around four and a half years,” she said. “The owners, Chris and Maria, are a great example of loving what you do. I learned the importance of a good work ethic and responsibility that I’ve been able to carry over into cosmetology.” Barr said she decided to focus on hair, especially hair color and she hopes to get certified in hair extensions soon. “It’s such a cool thing to me that you can leave the salon with drastically different hair than what you walked in with,” she said. Barr said the GCC cosmetology program was an answer to a prayer. “I was actually looking into schools out of town when I found out that GCC was going to open a cosmetology school,” she said. “They made it possible for me to pursue what I love without having to leave the town that I love.”

Payson Roundup LOCAL Tuesday, August 18, 2015

Splendor in Payson’s night sky
Photographer DJ Craig captured these dramatic images of the Perseid meteor shower in the skies over Payson. The meteor shower peaked on Aug. 12 and 13 as Earth passed through the trail of debris left by the Comet Swift-Tuttle. The giant ball or rock and ice leaves debris behind as it loops around the sun. So even if the comet is out of sight, Earth still hits the debris trail. The bits and pieces from the comet drop into Earth’s upper atmosphere at some 210,000 kilometers (130,000 miles) per hour, lighting up the nighttime with fast-moving Perseid meteors. The oblong orbit of the comet takes it outside the orbit of Pluto before it plunges back in toward the sun, with a period of about 133 years. Each passage close to the sun hastens the breakup of the comet. Earthlings last got a view of the comet at its closest point to the sun in December 1992. The next close approach will come in July 2126. In the meantime, we have the annual passage through the tail. The bits of ice and stone leave bright, ionized gas trails in their wake as the fragments burn up in the atmosphere. In addition to the meteor shower, he also captured a vivid lightning strike on the Rim while he looked out across the main lake at Green Valley Park.
TV show stars Payson From page 1C The high school proffered the cheerleaders, football team and marching band for entertainment. The Gila County Mounted Posse had two members drop by — on their horses. Fierro’s response when asked how she was around horses? “Terrible!” she said. So the posse enlisted Pasmore to ride for the camera. Bashas’ brought a full sheet cake to celebrate the event. Junction 87 played rousing country favorites such as the “Devil Went Down to Georgia” inspiring MHA Foundation Executive Director Sanja Long to kick up her heels along with numerous other community members. To get a plug in for the annual Vertilee Floyd Old Time Fiddlin’ Arizona State Championship and Acoustic Celebration, Nelson Beck of Parks and Rec recruited four fiddle players. “Come on down at the end of September,” he told the Channel 3 TV audience as the four played classic country fiddle tunes in the background. Before the oppressive heat overwhelmed everyone, the show wrapped up about 10 a.m. Once again, Davis accomplished giving the people of Phoenix an impressive peek into the quirky, entertaining and great small-town pleasures of the Rim Country.
