Schools rating low Near bottom on spending, quality by

Arizona school kids face the worst of both worlds — low state spending on schools and poor results.

In fact, Arizona schools rank 48th out of 50 states and the District of Columbia when it comes to a whole range of factors, according to a statistical comparison published on the WalletHub website (http:// wallethub.com/edu/states-with-the-bestschools/5335/#main-findings.)

The study comes as state lawmakers debate whether to invest any portion of a projected, year-end budget surplus of more than $600 million in restoring some of the recent cuts in K-12 education. The state ranks about 49th in per-student spending, after making the deepest cuts in the nation during the recession.

Gov. Doug Ducey has proposed temporarily diverting an extra $300 million annually from the state land trust fund,

Flagstaff acts, Payson dawdles by

Traumatized by the lethal environmental effects of the Schultz Fire, Flagstaff continues to set the pace for a community response to wildfire.

Flagstaff has adopted a tough, wildlands fire code, stepped up neighborhood thinning projects and voted in a tax to provide $10 million to help create a thinned buffer zone around the town.

The town’s strong action stands in sharp contrast to the lack of response to the mounting wildfire threat by Payson, Gila County, Star Valley and many other Rim Country communities.

Flagstaff residents even turned out for a volunteer effort to plant about 2,000 ponderosa pine seedlings on the hillsides denuded by the 2010 Schultz Fire. An abandoned campfire sparked the 15,000-acre fire. The fire burned right through an area approved for thinning, but stalled by a lack of clearances and funding.

The effort to stop the fire involved nearly 300 firefighters and cost roughly $9 million. The 15,000-acre fire didn’t even rate as a megafire, compared to the more than 500,000 acres for fires like the Wallow Fire and Rodeo Chediski.

Ironically, the Hardy Fire started the day before the Schultz Fire, but did no damage because it quickly burned into a previously thinned area.

However, several months after the fire, monsoon rains sent mudflows rushing off the mountain. The crown fire had burned so fiercely that it seared the soil, leaving nearly half of the burned area unable to absorb water naturally. The floodwaters slammed into a residential neighborhood, killing a little girl and inflicting serious property damage. The fire also destroyed a portion of the town’s water supply, which comes from a groundwater basin half-way up the San Franciso Peaks.

Three years later, the Yarnell Fire underscored the message delivered by the Shultz Fire. Burning in a scrub forest that hadn’t seen a fire in 50 years, the Yarnell Fire claimed the lives of 19 firefighters trying to move through heavy brush to protect Yarnell. That community also had failed to thin a buffer zone, maintain a firewise thinning in town or adopt a wildlands interface building code, featuring things like fire-resistant roofing and building materials and a ban on overhanging eaves and porches, where embers from even a distant wildfire can alight and set a house on fire.

Rim Country communities have done almost nothing in response to that series of fires. An all-volunteer effort in Pine and Strawberry has successfully helped homeowners clear tree- and brush-choked properties. But Gila County’s building code doesn’t compare to Flagstaff’s or to international standards for areas facing the

Firefighters from Payson and Star Valley rushed to Denny’s Wednesday afternoon after kitchen staff smelled smoke.

Although there were no visible flames, staff reported smelling a possible electrical fire, said Sgt. Joni Varga with the Payson Police Department. Four fire trucks responded. Payson police blocked both entrances to the establishment while crews worked.

Firefighters found one of the air conditioner motors on the roof had shorted. Battalion Chief Jim Rasmussen said it could have turned into a fire. He praised the manager for calling for help and getting everyone out. No one was injured.

The restaurant re-opened shortly after firefighters left. The air conditioning unit affected sends cool air to the kitchen area so it does not affect the lobby. The restaurant plans to use other units to keep staff cool until the unit is fixed.

The fair board and its volunteers have scheduled a variety of special events for Rim Country residents and guests. Among these: The Great Northern A’Fair

A Payson teen who said a drug addiction fueled a series of thefts and burglaries was sentenced recently to 4.5 years in prison and 84 months of probation.

Tyler Forest Duhamell, 19, broke into several local businesses at the beginning of the year with friends, stole a ring from his girlfriend’s parents’ home, acquired weapons and other items from vehicles and made a fraudulent return at Walmart for petty cash.

Duhamell said an addiction to opiates drove him to steal and plunder whatever he could, according to a presentencing report.

“As his addiction intensified, Mr. Duhamell embarked upon a crime spree victimizing and threatening the safety and sanctity of this community to sustain his hefty drug habit,” a probation officer wrote.

On Jan. 1, Duhamell was staying at a local hotel with three friends when Duhamell and one of the friends broke into the 260 Café seeking money for drugs. Duhamell had worked at the café as a prep cook from June to December 2014.

The men found several rolls of quarters and a credit card.

Since they did not find much money, they went to Granny’s Attic across State Route 260. They began to pry open a back door, but left when the owner’s dogs started barking. They then went to Central Arizona Supply and ransacked the business, taking tools and money.

They later used the credit card to pay for the hotel room, a phone and cigarettes.

On Jan. 4, an off-duty officer spotted Duhamell, his girlfriend and another man selling power tools. They were the stolen tools from Central Arizona Supply.

Officers arrested them.

Earlier, in 2014, Duhamell committed several additional thefts.

In October, he stole an anniversary ring from his girlfriend’s mother. In March 2014, officers stopped Duhamell and another man on a traffic stop and found drugs and a stolen gun in the vehicle. Officers learned Duhamell had broken into numerous vehicles throughout Payson for the past three months, taking weapons, jewelry and other items. One of the stolen guns was later found in a

Gila County seeks more federal funding by

Teresa McQuerrey

roundup staff reporter

Gila County wants more money — the $3 million the federal government owes as part of its Payment in Lieu of Taxes program plus more money to rehabilitate the homes of elderly, disabled and low-income residents.

Malissa Buzan, director of the Community Services Division, asked the Gila County Board of Supervisors at its Sept. 1 meeting to apply for $113,169 of State Community Development Block Grant funds to rehabilitate two owner-occupied homes — both in northern Gila County.

Buzan’s application reported on average the county has 100 applicants on its waiting list for assistance with owner-occupied housing rehabilitation.

The two homeowners cited in the application have been on the waiting list for more than a year, one since October 2013 and the other since January 2014.

The individual waiting the longest lives in a 40-year-old manufactured home and has a

chronic illness. Due to the condition of the home, during the winter the heater must run continuously to keep the temperature in the low 60s. The house has leaks and mold as well.

The second person has a very small home with severe foundation problems, winterizing issues and more.

The supervisors unanimously approved Buzan’s request to submit the application for grant funds.

Payment in Lieu of Taxes request

Gila County manager Don McDaniel brought the PILT issue to the board.

He asked for a resolution urging Congress to release the balance of funding for the PILT program for fiscal year 2015 and provide full funding for FY 2016 and into the future. The federal government makes the payments to counties with so much federal land in their borders that they have a very narrow, private property tax base. Lacking a tax base, those counties and schools have

a hard time paying for basic services.

Of the 3 million acres in Gila County, the federal government owns 57.2 percent.

Indian tribes own 38 percent and the state owns 1 percent — about 31,000 acres. The county and schools can’t collect property taxes on any of that land.

This leaves only 4 percent (123,196 acres) in private (taxable) ownership. The national average PILT payment in Fiscal Year 2014 was 72 cents per acre, far below the amount federal lands would return through both value-based taxation and economic development. Congress hasn’t released $37 million worth of payments in the current fiscal year, placing added financial pressure on Gila County taxpayers.

Gila County must provide law enforcement, search and rescue, emergency services, road building and maintenance and other community services to those tax-exempt federal lands.

The supervisors unanimously agreed upon the resolution.

From page 1A committee, but that effort too has remained virtually silent for the past year.

By contrast, Flagstaff has continued to take concrete steps to protect the community from wildfire.

Forest ecologists warn that it will take a century to regain the forested, erosion-resistant condition of the slopes before the fire.

Some fear that longer, deeper droughts and higher average temperatures will prevent the ponderosa pine forests from ever making a full comeback. A century of suppressing natural fire regimes had left the forest overgrown and prone to crown fires, which burn so hot they have dramatically different effects from fires in more natural conditions.

The Flagstaff town council and the Coconino County supervisors responded to the disaster by overhauling building codes.

They adopted a version of the international Wildlands Urban Interface building code the Payson Fire Department had urged the town to adopt here.

Perhaps the most dramatic action came with voter approval of a bond issue based on property taxes that raised $10 million to accelerate thinning projects to create a buffer zone to protect the community. The Greater Flagstaff Forest Partnership combined the efforts of many agencies and organizations to create a buffer zone around the whole community — and convince property owners to clear privately owned land inside the town limits.

So far, that effort has resulted in the clearing of some 10,000 acres without town boundaries.

Thinning the area inside the town limits remains crucial, since fires spreading outward from the developed areas pose at least as great a danger as giant fires racing toward communities from the forest.

One 2012 study found that 40 percent more fires start within municipal boundaries than in the national forests. Nationally, in-town fires average 117,000 annually, causing 15 civilian deaths and $160 million in property damage.

The Forest Service and the Greater Flagstaff Partnership have prepared 10,500

acres for thinning, part of a plan to create a two- or three-mile-wide buffer zone around the community.

The Center for Biological Diversity and the Sierra Club have supported the thinning plans, but nonetheless filed objections to the Coconino Forest’s final plan for the thinning.

The Center wants the Coconino Forest to apply roughly the same guidelines as those developed for the separate, Four Forest Restoration Initiative (4FRI). Specifically, the Center has questioned logging in patches of forest designated as critical habitat for the Mexican Spotted Owl during the endangered raptor’s breeding season. The Center has also questioned plans to use cable logging to pull trees out of canyons and ravines. Often, the hard-to-cut trees in these canyons represent clusters of the largest trees — which have big impacts on riparian areas and old-growth dependent species like the spotted owl.

The Center insists it doesn’t want to stop or hold up the thinning project, but wants the Forest Service to change some of the rules.

Forest Service officials say they’re reviewing the proposed changes, but have expressed skepticism about meeting all the objections. If the Forest Service rejects the proposed changes, the environmental groups could go to court — which would delay the thinning project.

In any case, the community involvement and funding of the thinning efforts again stands in contrast to the situation in Rim Country.

Since 2002, the Payson Ranger District of the Tonto National Forest has spent about $40 million to thin roughly 50,000 acres, creating narrow fire breaks around almost every Rim Country community. But clearing a half-mile-wide buffer zone around most communities requires thinning another 50,000 acres, then maintaining those buffer zones. By contrast, Flagstaff wants buffer zones one to three miles wide. A big crown fire can throw live embers a mile or more from the fire front.

But Rim Country communities have provided little support for the Payson Ranger District’s effort.

Gila County has set up a network of water

And the Payson Fire Department currently plans to go door to door in Payson neighborhoods to notify homeowners if the overgrowth on their properties poses a threat to the neighborhood. But Rim Country has not launched any effort to compare with the Greater Flagstaff Partnership.

Road to C.C. Cragin Reservoir will close Sept. 8 Motor vehicle access to C.C. Cragin (aka Blue Ridge) Reservoir will be restricted beginning Sept. 8, as the main forest road that leads to the reservoir will be closed to vehicles.

Forest Road 751 will be closed at Rock Crossing campground for public safety due to construction traffic using the road, and while improvements are made to the boat ramp by the U.S. Forest Service and Arizona Game and Fish Department. Improvement work will include building a retaining wall and making improvements to the road used as the boat ramp, which will provide safer

and more efficient access to the reservoir for recreational boaters.

The road closure due to construction will likely continue until seasonal road closures are implemented, meaning Forest Road 751 may be closed until approximately April 2016.

People may visit the reservoir by foot via Forest Road 751 to Rock Crossing Trail, which leads down to the reservoir, but no vehicles will be allowed on Forest Road 751 beyond Rock Crossing campground.

Additionally, the reservoir water level is slowly dropping and will continue to do

so through September as inspections and maintenance projects get under way. Salt River Project, which operates and manages the reservoir and dam on behalf of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, will be performing inspections of the dam and tunnel inlet that transfers water to the East Verde River.

Neglecting schools hurts the economy

• Sept. 6, 1522: The Vittoria, one of Ferdinand Magellan’s five ships, arrives in Spain, thus completing the first circumnavigation of the world.

The Vittoria was commanded by Juan Sebastian de Elcano, who took charge after the murder of Magellan in the Philippines.

• Sept. 4, 1886: Geronimo, the wiliest and most dangerous Apache warrior of his time, finally surrenders in Arizona. A brilliant strategist, Geronimo never learned to use a gun, yet he armed his men with the best modern rifles he could obtain.

• Sept. 3, 1939: British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, in a radio broadcast, announced that Britain and France had declared war on Germany. Germany had invaded Poland on Sept. 1.

• Sept. 5, 1969: Lt. William Calley is charged with six specifications of premeditated murder in the death of 109 Vietnamese civilians at My Lai in March 1968. Reportedly, the massacre was stopped only when a pilot landed his helicopter between Calley’s troops and the fleeing South Vietnamese.

Here’s the deal: You can’t have a crappy educational system and a healthy economy. You can’t convince corporations offering good, high-paying jobs to move to a state where their executives don’t want to send their kids to local schools. You can’t improve productivity without an educated workforce.

Can’t do it. No way. No how.

Now, to most folks — this seems self-evident.

Except to our state legislators.

Repeated studies show that not only does Arizona rank near last in per-student spending, our school system also ranks poorly when it comes to quality and safety.

The most recent compilation of statistics listed Arizona as a “low-spending, low-quality” system. The rating included things like dropout rates, SAT scores, bullying rates, teacher-student ratios and math and reading scores.

The study underscores the terrible damage the Legislature and the governor have done to Arizona’s prospects by inflicting the deepest cuts in the nation on our schools. At the same time, lawmakers continue to hack away at personal and corporate income tax rates.

Lawmakers insist cutting taxes will attract businesses to the state, bolstering the economy and increasing state revenues. They say only then can we afford to invest in our schools.

Alas, the Legislature has it exactly backwards.

Consider this from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In 2014, the unemployment rate for folks without a high school diploma remained 9 percent. The weekly median earnings stood at $488. By contrast, the unemployment rate for folks with a college degree stood at 3.5 percent — and the weekly earnings at $1,100.

Now, consider the findings on the link between a state’s education system and the state of the economy.

The following figures come from an analysis by the Economic Policy Institute (http://www.epi.org/publication/states-education-productivity-growth-foundations/).

The study authors concluded that “overwhelmingly” a well-educated workforce fosters high wages. Moreover, the researchers found little evidence that lower taxes produce higher wages.

Other findings of the national study included: — The states with the highest growth in educational attainment since 1979 have also shown the greatest growth in worker productivity. Arizona ranks among the worst states on both measures.

— Wage increases shadow productivity growth, which again leaves Arizona in the bottom rank of states — The study found no link between low taxes and high wages or employment.

— Median wages are substantially higher in the states with the best-educated workers, with Arizona again at the bottom of the list.

— The link between education and wages has grown much stronger in the past 30 years, as the number of good-paying blue collar jobs has declined.

So never mind our moral obligation to our children, let’s provide a decent educational system to make sure they’re making enough to pay the tab for our Medicare benefits.

Yet, somehow, our state representatives don’t get it.

When confronted, they generally say that states spending three times as much per student as Arizona don’t have better test scores. It’s not the money — they say — it’s the quality of the schools.

And it’s true — some states spend a lot more money and get mediocre results. New York comes immediately to mind. The WalletHub ranking of systems underscored the point. However, the survey linking spending and outcomes generally demonstrated that you get what you pay for. States that invest in their educational systems generally get better results. A few states like Utah don’t spend much and get pretty good results, but that’s not surprising given the tremendous support for education you find in the families in that small, relatively homogenous state.

But if you set aside the exceptions on each end of the scale, the link between a state’s willingness to invest in education and the benefit to students shines through.

So we hope Sen. Sylvia Allen and representatives Bob Thorpe and Brenda Barton will do right by our children — and the state’s economy. We urge them to support the call for a special session to settle the lawsuit that stemmed from the Legislature’s votes to illegally withhold the K-12 inflation adjustment approved by the voters in 2001.

Then we hope they will support comprehensive reforms — including adequate funding — for both K-12 schools and the state’s universities.

Let’s fix the schools — so we can fix the economy.

Gun cartoon offensive, inflammatory Editor: A couple of weeks ago I emailed you regarding an inappropriate cartoon you allowed somebody to put in a Friday issue of the Roundup. This offensive and distorted/untrue cartoon described the National Rifle Association as encouraging as many guns in circulation as possible with a background of bodies lying around similar to the shooting in Colorado a couple of years ago.

First, it was untrue and second, inflammatory. A great many people took offense to it. It was the kind of journalism one would expect from the liberal Washington Post or New York Times, but it doesn’t belong in Payson.

You have not replied to my complaint as of yet. Are you going to or are you going to be like the editor of most of our biased and socialistic newspapers and just shuffle it off to Buffalo?

W. Flower

One-sided journalism Editor: Anytime there is an issue within a community that motivates opinion to be expressed, there are two sides, without exception. The same is true with editorial reply ... except in the instance of the proposed university campus.

Over the years the project has been delayed, modified, discussed and criticized; one aspect of the discussion has been lacking.

Never have I seen the Payson Roundup question the project or Mayor Kenny Evans. Not once.

The glaring lack of two-sided debate from the local press speaks volumes about their position.

It is true adding a campus and doubling population will surely help to fill the coffers of the Roundup. However, I feel they are doing this community a great disservice by not addressing

both sides of the argument. Certainly, they cannot believe that there is absolutely nothing wrong with this project! I believe it to be ill conceived and poorly implemented. I feel that the dubious benefits of a university in a town of 15,000-plus people — the majority of whom are retirement age — have been tragically over exaggerated.

But for a source of professional journalism to completely ignore any possible pitfalls, while only supporting the proponents of this project is, at best, very poor journalism.

Let’s see the Payson Roundup actually discuss this project, and not just champion it!

Ignorance is not bliss Editor: Back in the day when Masters and Johnson were scandalizing the country with their studies of the physical aspects of human sexuality, I was a counselor/therapist in the psychiatry department of a medical school. Since there was no curricula about that subject in the school, I was charged with the responsibility of looking into what was being learned and presenting a proposal for the possible inclusion of the information into the curriculum.

It quickly became clear that the sex researchers had much to teach our aspiring doctors. The amount of ignorance about the subject was huge, not just in the general population, but among our students as well. Since every hour of lecture

time is precious because there is so much that needs to be taught, it took several years before a few classes on human sexuality were added and taught by a male and female team of certified sex educators/therapists much to the delight and/or chagrin of our students.

Thus it was with great interest that I read of former Payson student Lisa Jackson’s study for her master’s thesis. Her study confirmed what many researchers in the various aspects of sexuality have learned over the years. The amount of ignorance today is still staggering in spite of the fact that we have become a highly sexualized society wherein this deeply personal part of life is crassly exploited and used to sell everything under the sun.

And, I would posit, we are failing our children when we refuse to allow comprehensive sex education in our schools. “Sex should be taught in the home by the parents within an atmosphere of their values” I agree, but as the research has shown, in the majority of cases that doesn’t happen. And our young people are left with incomplete or inaccurate information, if any, and pay the sad consequences.

There is nothing more beautiful than a loving family, conceived with tenderness and celebrated with joy as each new addition arrives. We cheat our young people when we do not allow them to know how to achieve that ideal with love and respect.

Ignorance is not bliss. It is a tragedy.

Living the motorcycle dream – with wrench in hand Rough Cut Motorsports owner takes the plunge by

Keith Morris

roundup sports editor

After 18 years of working for the telephone company in Tucson, Ron “Coors” Saunders wanted something different.

“I figured why live my life hating what I do,” Saunders said. “I wanted to do something I enjoy doing. And playing with motorcycles is what I enjoy.”

He and his girlfriend, Jennifer Porter, visited Payson several times over the last couple of years and figured Rim Country was the kind of place they could be happy.

In January, they got up the courage to make a big change and moved to Payson. In May, they opened Rough Cut Motorsports at 610 1/2 S. Beeline Highway. It’s located behind Chasin’ A Dream Outfitters. The business sells parts for and repairs and services motorcycles, ATVs and side by sides.

Porter works for a local company as a house cleaner in an effort to support the big career move.

“I got tired of running non-stop down there all the time and me and my girlfriend decided to come up here, slow down and do something we both like to do,” he said. “I was working a full-time job and working at the house every night on motorcycles.”

Saunders has been on motorcycles most of his life.

“I’ve been riding since I was a teenager,” he said. “I started on dirt bikes and ATVs. My first road bike was a Kawasaki Ninja 600. His next bike was a 1980 Harley-

Davidson Shovelhead. He’s now on his fourth Harley.

And the 2004 95-cubic inch Road Glide is special. The plate attached to the top of the gas tank tells why, listing the name of his good friend, B. Moore, and his date of birth and death.

“He passed away on it,” Saunders said. “He was the type of man you don’t see much anymore. He stood by his word and liked to have fun and ride motorcycles. I got it from his kids out of the impound yard and rebuilt it. It was a total. It’s the only bike I ride now.”

The couple knew it could be a struggle opening a new business, but followed their hearts anyway.

“Business is kind of slow,” Saunders said. “The first year’s always slow.

We’ve just got to get our name out there.

“My girlfriend does what she can to pay our bills,” he said. “The money we make from the shop goes into our business so we can get it up and going.”

Among the investments they’ve made in the company was purchasing a tire machine and spin balancer.

“To my knowledge only one other shop up here has a spin balancer,” he said. “We are a Drag Specialties and Parts Unlimited vendor.”

Saunders is confident the customers will come.

“People will realize I’m not here to get rich, I’m just here to make an honest living and give them good work,” Photos by Keith Morris/Roundup he said.

Anyone needing parts or service for their motorcycle, Rough Cut Motorsports owner Ron Saunders poses with his motorcycle, a 2004 ATV or side by side can call Ron at 928-468-2428 or stop 95-cubic-inch Harley-Davidson Road Glide he repaired after his friend was killed in by the shop Monday through Saturday. an accident while riding it.

Real estate sales trends: Living it up by downsizing Provided by the Central Arizona Board of Realtors People buy and sell homes for many reasons. Perhaps they need to relocate for a job, or maybe they simply want a change of scenery. However, according to the National Association of Realtors’ 2015 Home Buyer and Seller Generational Trends Report, if you are 50 years old or older, chances are you are selling your home to downsize.

The reasons for downsizing can vary depending on what stage of life the person or family is entering. For younger baby boomers, those born between 1955-1964, the reason to downsize might be that all of their children have moved out, or maybe the home has just become too expensive to maintain. For older baby boomers (born between 1946-1954) and members of the Silent Generation (between 19251945) who are entering or are in retirement, downsizing can help increase a nest egg or decrease the amount of work needed to keep up the home.

“For many people it is as sim-

ple as one day realizing that there are rooms in your home that you never go in, or that keeping the house clean has become a fulltime job,” said Kim Anderson, president of the Central Arizona Board of Realtors. “When that time comes, looking into buying a smaller home is the next logical step.”

Some of the benefits that come with downsizing are:

More free time

With less to clean and take care of comes more time for other things. “What would you do with an extra five-to-10 hours

a week?” said Anderson. “For those starting their retirement, this is more time to start a new hobby, spend time with your family or to simply relax and enjoy.

Who wants to spend their retirement making sure the rooms no one uses are clean?”

If you are considering or in

the process of downsizing, the most important thing you can do is hire a Realtor. Realtors can provide valuable counsel, discuss listings, show you homes in person and negotiate on your behalf.

site at www.CAZBR.com.

Local Market update

There were 46 homes sold in Payson in July.

The average size was 1539 sq. ft. and average sold price was $189,452. The average days on the market was 133 days.

Saving money

Not only is a smaller house less expensive to purchase, the ancillary costs of the home are also reduced. “You will likely use less electricity to heat, cool or light a smaller home. This could bring down your utility bills,” said Anderson. “Less house also means less to maintain, meaning costs for repairs, gardening, etc., will go down as well.”

Less to clean and maintain

If you decrease the size of your living space, logically you decrease the space you need to clean. “Downsizing can also force you to re-examine your ‘stuff’ and how much of it you actually need,

Bashas’ goes high-tech In an effort to enhance the shopping experience for customers and complement its training program for team members, Bashas’ Family of Stores has equipped all of its store directors with iPads, and teamed up with the Ibotta app and The Like Machine.

Ibotta is a smartphone app that allows Bashas’ shoppers to earn cash back on their in-store purchases when they answer a couple of short survey questions on their phone.

“We’re always looking for ways to help our customers save money when they grocery shop,” said Edward “Trey” Basha, president and CEO of Bashas’ Family of Stores. “With a few clicks on a smartphone, customers now have a way to instantly earn coupons while they’re shopping in our Bashas’ stores.”

action, train team members working on the sales floor about how to improve their customer service, and make sure their stores are meeting or exceeding industry and food safety compliance standards.

“The iPads are beneficial because our store team members can be anywhere on the store floor, and access the information they want, right when they need it,” said Basha.

Bashas’ Family of Stores — the family-owned grocer that operates Food City, AJ’s Fine Foods, Eddie’s Country Store, and both Bashas’ and Bashas’ Diné supermarkets — is an Arizona-based company founded by brothers Ike and Eddie Basha, Sr. With more than 100 grocery stores, it is one of the largest employers in the state and one of the Best Places to Work in Arizona.

Celebrating first responders by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

Jerry Carlson of Mount Cross Lutheran Church has big plans to celebrate Rim Country’s first responders on Sept. 19.

“I anticipate 400 to 500 people,” he said.

Dubbed Community Recognition Day Honoring All Rim Country First Responders, Carlson and his crew of volunteers have music, speakers, games, hot dogs and Sloppy Joe’s planned to honor those who help Rim Country residents through emergencies.

Carlson said his idea isn’t necessarily new.

“Years ago this was done by Suzanne Michaels of Mount Cross,” he said.

What spurred him to resurrect the program?

The anniversary of the Yarnell Fire tragedy.

“I was listening to Shine Radio and I heard the surviving firefighter say, ‘Rest assured, when they put their fire shelter over them, they said the Lord’s Prayer,’” said Carlson.

Although Mount Cross will host the program, other churches in town will throw in their support.

Local businesses have also offered food and raffle donations.

The band Plan B will provide entertainment and speakers such as Payson Police Department Chief Don Engler will speak.

“At 10:45, Mike Riechling will speak,” said Carlson. “He was at the Yarnell Fire and will speak about being there.”

Carlson said all proceeds from the day will go to the 100 Club, unless designated to a specific first responder department.

The community is welcome and encouraged to attend, said Carlson.

Since the Mount Cross parking lot has limited

capacity, Carlson has procured a shuttle from the Senior Center to pick people up at the Big Lots parking lot and the lot behind Tiny’s Restaurant.

“Stop by the event first to see if there is parking,” said Carlson.

If the church lot is full, Carlson said the parking attendants would set up a pick-up time.

Although most of the volunteer spots have been covered, Carlson said he still needs volunteers. To offer help, please call (928) 476-4330.

Of course the group still seeks donations for the event.

“I hope all the first responders of Rim Country attend,” he said. “We plan on giving them all hugs.”

Oh — he needs volunteers to help with that, too.

Arizona’s schools rate poorly From page 1A plaints about the state’s low, per-student spending by observing that some states that spend two or three times as much per student don’t necessarily produce higher test scores.

But the WalletHub comparison largely demolishes that defense by including test scores, reading skills, dropout rates, bullying rates, school safety, teacher-student ratios, math scores and SAT college entrance exam scores in its state-by-state comparison.

Arizona ranked as a weak, low-spending system, almost in a class by itself. The closest states to that combined low ranking were Nevada and Mississippi, followed by Idaho and Oklahoma, Texas and Alaska.

A couple of states like Utah, North Carolina and North Dakota ranked as low-spending systems with more “mixed” results.

Some states ranked as high-spending systems with “mixed” results, including Arkansas, New York and Rhode Island.

Others scored as high-spending states with a strong school system, including Vermont, New Jersey, Massachusetts,

Connecticut, New Hampshire and Maryland.

Arizona ranked 48 out of 51 systems when it came to school quality, ahead of the District of Columbia, Alaska and Nevada.

Massachusetts, Colorado, New Jersey and Wisconsin had the highest rating on school quality.

Arizona did a little better when it came to school safety, rating 40th out of 51. Massachusetts, Oklahoma and New Mexico had the top ratings when it came to school safety. The District of Columbia, California and Indiana had the worst safety ratings.

A few states managed to combine low spending with good results. For instance, Kentucky ranked No. 28 in per-student spending, but No. 5 in quality.

Colorado ranked 22 in school spending and 2 in school quality.

Some low-spending states at least got middling rankings on quality. For instance, Texas ranked as 48th in spending but 27th in its overall ranking.

Oklahoma ranked 49th in spending, but 33rd in quality.

On the whole, for most states the quality rankings lined up pretty closely with the spending rankings.

The study relied on a wel-

ter of statistics to compile the composite rankings. Behind the main categories the study considered things like online learning programs, youth incarceration rates, how many students completed Advanced Placement tests and other factors.

Lawmakers this year approved Gov. Doug Ducey’s budget that held K-12 spending at close to last year’s level and cut university spending by an added $75 million. The budget included only a fraction of the $330 million in inflation adjustments the courts have ruled the Legislature withheld illegally in violation of the terms of a ballot measure voters approved in 2001. The state may owe $1.3 billion in back payments.

Gov. Ducey has proposed taking extra money out of the state lands trust each year for the next decade — a proposal that will require voter approval. The temporary infusion of money would amount to about $300 per student — about onethird of what the Legislature cut since 2007. Arizona would have to increase k-12 spending by about $3.5 billion annually to get back up to the national average.

Duhamell wrote to the court that he was sorry for his actions.

“I need a lot of help to stay clean and I deserve any punishment that you think is right. I can promise you that nothing like this is ever going to happen again and I’m ready to get clean and change my life for the better.”

Duhamell said he started using opiates four years ago. While on juvenile probation, he went to Horizons and went through two inpatient substance abuse programs in 2013. He relapsed every time.

“Although rehabilitation was a fleeting thought, he was defeated and controlled by his addiction and was more focused on chasing his next high having no regard or concern for the criminal acts he incurred or the harm he inflicted on the victims,” probation wrote.

Duhamell was sentenced for solicitation to commit trafficking of stolen property, two counts of attempted burglary and solicitation to commit fraudulent schemes and artifices.

WEATHERREPORT Forecast by the National Weather Service

Friday

Michele Nelson

Armed with more sponsors, bigger dumpsters and a track record of rubbish collecting success, the Forest Service and its volunteers will run the Pack-It-Out program on Labor Day — with minor changes.

“Same locations as last time, but hours have changed slightly,” said Forest Service Recreation Officer Chelsea Muise.

Sponsors Home Depot, Carl’s Jr., the Town of Payson, Waste Matters and the Rim Country Regional Chamber of Commerce will provide dumpsters, drop-off locations and staff to support the trash collecting efforts.

Volunteers will be at three trash sites from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 7 to collect trash forest visitors might otherwise leave behind.

As with the Memorial Day and Fourth of July Pack-It-Out programs, Forest Service personnel and volunteers will spread out throughout the forest during the weekend with trash bags and information on the program for visitors.

Muise said as with past Pack-It-Out events, education efforts will be focused on river corridors and dispersed camping areas. These education efforts have greatly improved response.

As in the past, only trash from campers and recreational users of the National Forest will be accepted.

Courage to create

by

Payson Roundup LOCAL Friday, September 4, 2015

roundup staff reporter

A lifetime love of drawing and painting brought Minette HartRichardson to embrace her inner artist and host Down the Street Art Gallery.

“I can’t remember not wanting to draw and paint,” said HartRichardson. “My grandmother encouraged me by allowing me to make messes and then telling me how great a gift it was to be able to freely express one’s self — and if by chance it was pleasing to the eye — all the better.”

She purchased the house on Main Street when she moved to Payson years ago.

At first, Hart-Richardson turned the house into a hair salon, but after spending a year in Michigan to help her parents before they died, she decided she wanted to pursue another path in life.

So, she started the gallery as a co-op and launched into painting full time.

The gallery now shows about 18 artists’ works, including HartRichardson’s.

In her case, Hart-Richardson said she prefers to paint big and it’s hard to miss her paintings.

On the front porch of the gallery a browser confronts a 10-foot painting of a woman in a brilliant sun dress and a floppy hat watering her garden.

On her space in the gallery, HartRichardson has paintings of huge poppies and a stylized version of three women and their torsos who would be 10-feet tall if not cut off by the size of the large canvas.

Amongst the large subject paintings, Hart-Richardson has a smattering of small paintings. One is of a beach.

“That’s where I dream of being,” she said.

Others have different subjects, but Hart-Richardson admits it takes effort for her to plan out a small painting.

They stretch her she said, but she relishes pushing the boundaries.

Hart-Richardson loves having her paintings hanging in someone’s house because she believes art is for making people happy.

“When I hear someone say, ‘Every time I look at that painting or wear this bracelet, I feel special,’ I love it,” she said. “Art is for sharing.”

It’s exactly that reason that Hart-Richardson created an art co-op rather than simply a gallery.

Members pay a monthly fee and work in the gallery three days out of the month.

In exchange, the gallery shows the artists’ works and guarantees someone will be there to keep the doors open and help sell their works.

Selling art isn’t the only thing members do. Some work on paintings between talking to customers, others fix things up around the place or do a little yard work.

“It all seems to work,” said Hart-Richardson.

The artist has great hopes for the Main Street area of Payson. She loves the history, the architecture of the homes and the community of the area.

Interestingly, Hart-Richardson would welcome more galleries in the area.

“It’s much easier when there are a group of galleries in the area,” she said.

Kind of like a museum with different rooms full of different types of art. One tiny museum doesn’t seem to capture people’s attention.

Hart-Richardson and the group call their gallery Payson’s “out of the box” art experience.

With about 20 artists involved, Down The Street Art Gallery has something for everyone: big poppies, small beach scenes and all. For more information, call (928) 468-6129 or visit their website at www. downthestreetartgallery.com.

Pride of the Longhorns Students honored for positive contributions Focusing on the positive, Julia Randall Elementary recognizes positive student behavior with the Longhorn Pride Award.

“The Longhorn Pride Award is given to two students a day for going the extra mile, being caught doing something good, and/or showing good Longhorn Character,” said Lori Standifird, JRE counselor.

If chosen to receive the recognition, their names are read over the announcements in the morning and they receive a LONGHORN PRIDE color changing pencil, said Standifird.

The school makes sure the student’s parents know of their positive contributions to the school by sending a note home telling parents what they did to earn the recognition.

Payson Roundup LOCAL Friday, September 4, 2015

Wildfire continues to burn About 50 firefighters continue to work to contain an 800acre brush fire burning near Roosevelt Lake.

A lightning strike started the Peters Fire on Aug. 27. The fire is burning in Sonoran Desert grass and brush two miles west of Roosevelt Lake on the slope of Peters Mountain and about nine miles south of Tonto Basin.

“The Peters Fire received significant rain over a 1.5-hour period last night. With the intense hard work the firefighters have performed since last Thursday, there was little growth yesterday and no smoke showing today” said District Ranger Kelly Jardine. There are no homes or structures threatened.

The Arizona Game and Fish Department’s Three Bar cabin is located one mile west of the fire and is a priority for protection.

Ground crews and air attack will continue during day operations to contain and secure the fire perimeter. Firefighters will monitor the fire overnight as higher nighttime humidity has subdued the fire growth overnight. One engine, two hand crews and one air attack plan continue to work this week to contain the blaze.

The Peters Fire and fire activity is visible from Highway 188, Roosevelt Lake and Tonto Basin areas. The Forest Service urged the public to watch out for firefighters and equipment along Highway 188.

MODIS Fire Detection data is also available in Google Earth: http://activefiremaps.fs.fed.us/ googleearth.php.

For further information on this incident please visit www. fs.usda.gov/tonto.

Highways jammed but open As thousands of drivers look ahead to trips to campsites, cabins and beaches, the Arizona Department of Transportation is working to keep state highways as open as possible over the Labor Day holiday weekend.

ADOT and its contractors will not schedule any full construction closures along state highways between Friday afternoon and late Monday night. Drivers are still urged to plan ahead and allow extra travel time, especially in areas where lane restrictions may be in place due to existing work zones.

As they have done over recent major holiday weekends, ADOT, the Arizona Department of Public Safety and the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety are teaming up with local first responders to urge drivers to “expect the unexpected” and to be prepared for unscheduled restrictions due to disabled vehicles, crashes or incidents such as brush fires.

Last year six people were killed in four fatal crashes along Arizona highways and local streets over the extended Labor Day weekend. That was a slight decrease from 2013, when eight people lost their lives in motor-vehicle crashes over the holiday weekend.

ADOT’s network of overhead message boards, as well as some portable message signs, will be used to post safety and highway-condition messages.

You can check on statewide highway conditions on ADOT’s Travel Advisory site at az511. gov or by calling 5-1-1 (within Arizona).

Cross country stars seek breakthrough season by

Jonathan Ball

cross country coach

The Payson High School girls cross country team anticipates a promising season, with three runners returning with state meet experience. We also have a number of younger girls running high school cross country for the first time. We seem to have a good mix of experience along with newcomers.

We got moved to the toughest section in Division III, Section II (championships will be at Holbrook). This section dominated DIII girls cross country last season at the state championships as the top four teams all came from this section. Also, 17 of the top 21 individuals came from this section including eight of the top 10. This means to compete we need to step up our game.

The good news is we have three returners that have state meet experience. We also competed in this section three years ago, including Abigail Greenleaf who took 16th qualifying for state in this section as a freshman.

Key returners Abigail Greenleaf (Sr.)

A two-time state qualifier, Abby was injured last season, but is ready for a big year now. Abby became the only section medalist in Payson High School cross country history when she took eighth in Section I her sophomore season. (Divisions and sections have been around since the 2010 cross country season). Abigail has had a number of top-10 performances in her high school career. Highlights for Abigail include running 21:01 on the state course her sophomore season, a 5K PR of 20:13 her sophomore season at the Desert Twilight Invitational, and a 5:35 1600 time in track last season as a junior.

Clearly, she has fully recovered from her injury.

Anna Schouten (Sr.)

A two-time state qualifier, Anna has progressed every season. She started out running in the 25-minute range her frosh

season, and PRed last season with a 22:19 at the Desert Twilight Invitational — a huge, three-minute improvement.

Highlights for Anna include a pair of topfive finishes as she took fifth in both the Alchesay and Snowflake Invitationals last season.

Kyra Ball (Soph.)

Kyra qualified for state last season as a freshman. She is very motivated and put in a big summer, running more than 300 miles in an eight-week period. Highlights of her frosh season include four top-10 finishes, including a fourth-place finish at Alchesay, and third-place finish at Snowflake. She also ran a 21:11 PR at the

A great middle school cross country runner at Blue Ridge, she moved to Payson as a freshman. She is more of a sprinter, but should make an impact on the varsity level by the end of the season.

We have four other newcomers, but I see them running open this season.

Green team faces tough season by

Jonathan Ball

cross country coach

The boys cross country team at Payson High School this year will face the changes that come with youth and inexperience. Only Kevin Price has extensive high school cross county experience, but he spent most of last year sidelined by shin splints. Kenny Ayres spent half the season with us last year, but everyone on our boys team is new to high school cross country. It should be an exciting season full of benchmarks for these boys. It takes a while for boy runners to develop into distance runners, but if these young men stick with it, our future will be very bright on the boys side.

Key players Kevin Price (Sr.)

trophy winner

Provided photo

Local golfers battled it out on Aug. 6 and 13 for the Presidents Cup. The top finishers were: first place, Debbie Nicole; second place, Moe Vossler; third place Ann Adams; fourth place, Nina Szakal. Ann Adams won closest-to-the-pin honors on Aug. 6 by landing 7 feet, 6 inches from the cup at hole 5. On Aug. 13, Mary Quigley landed 22 feet, 6 inches from the cup on hole 14. The Aug. 20 Two Putt Poker winner was Lucy Maish, with a full house.

Mary Hoeger landed 29 feet from the cup on hole 8 and Donna Martinson chipped the ball into the cup on the same hole. The Aug. 27 Florida scramble winning team included Mary Hoeger, Isabella Sockrider and Joan Greenshield with a score of 39. Closest to the pin was Mary Hoeger, just 7 feet, 1/8-inch from the hole 17.

Kevin is a third-year runner who is healthy and ready for his best season yet. He put in a terrific summer with us, and is captain of the boys team. His leadership will be critical in the development of our younger more inexperienced runners. Kevin is very excited about the season and is ready for a big break out.

Kenny Ayres (Jr.) Kenny returns as a more experienced runner. He put in some effort this off-season and looks to make an impact in cross country meets for us this fall. Kenny is very talented and will have a chance to bring home some medals for us throughout this season.

Daely Pentico (Jr.) Daely is a track kid who has taken on cross country. This is his first season, but he is picking it up quickly. He spent the summer working on his stride

and has progressed nicely. He has a solid chance to be our first state qualifier since 2009. He will have to do so in a tough Section II. Joseph Ramirez (Soph.)

Joey is new to the sport, but has natural ability. It will be fun to watch his progression throughout the season.

Others to watch We have three frosh that will be a work in progress, but all three could play a role on the varsity level as the season progresses. They are Will Dawson, Christian Hillman and David Pasquini.

All wildlife and espenot had his shotgun out of the case since cially bird populations benefit greatly when cattlemen build new drinkers or last quail season!

Filling the 15-bird limit presents no stock tanks on the local ranches. These easy task, even for seasoned shotgun locations can be real hotspots in the enthusiasts. Remember, the limit on early morning or late afternoon when

birds fly in for water.

For some of the best hunting, make the short drive to the lower elevation deserts of Tonto Basin and Roosevelt Lake. By getting there early, one can watch morning skies and often find a flyway zone that doves are using when leaving the roost trees as they spread out to seek the daily food sources. A pair of binoculars will certainly eliminate aimless looking for doves that may be flying from a water source to the roost trees.

The legal shooting hour begins half an hour before sunrise and extends to sunset for all locations in the state. Any time you are walking into a hunting area in the reduced light period, pay attention to each step. Rattlesnakes inhabit the desert areas, especially around water sources. With the long daylight hours of late summer, you can also hunt doves after a full work day and a short drive for the evening flight. However,

you’ll end up walking back to the vehicle when it’s almost dark.

A dove hunt is a great opportunity to introduce a youngster to shotgun hunting for game birds in Arizona provided they have been properly taught gun safety. Arizona requires that anyone 10 years of age and older must purchase a valid hunting license and a migratory bird stamp, available at most sporting goods stores. The best deal is to purchase the combination youth hunting and fishing license for the 10- to 17-year-old for a total price of $5, which already includes the Arizona migratory bird stamp. I have many fond memories of hunting doves with my boys at that age. The season continues for two more weeks, so take advantage of the perfect weather for a family dove hunt and of course a dove and dumpling dinner that could be a reality after a couple of trips in the field.

Make sure to pick up all shell casings

and any other litter you might come upon, and leave the outdoors a cleaner place because you were there. If the area is private property where the doves are flying, ask permission first before entering and remember the discharge of firearms within a quarter mile of any inhabited structure is illegal.

If you are a first-time dove hunter, I would recommend attending one of the seminars in the field hosted by the Arizona Game and Fish Department.

Further information about these dove hunting seminars can be obtained by going to azgfd.gov or stopping by the Walmart sporting goods department and picking up a free pamphlet about dove hunting in Arizona. All facets of the dove hunting experience will be covered.

Good luck trying to get a limit of 15 doves per day and always keep in mind the top priority is safety and a fun experience in the Arizona outdoors, God’s creation.

Payson Roundup LOCAL Friday, September 4, 2015

aroundthe rim One determined person can make a difference Nina Hokkaen’s decision to seek shelter in a school bus stop during a driving snowstorm several years ago is paying dividends for Pine and Strawberry’s bus-riding schoolchildren.

“I was sitting in (the shelter) near the (PineStrawberry) school waiting for the snow to stop and I noticed it was in pretty bad shape,” said Hokkaen.

“I didn’t have a job at the time, but I said ‘If I ever get a job in Pine, I’m going to paint these (school bus stop shelters).’”

Her promise came to fruition last summer when she scoured the town seeking donations and discounts to garner the 14 gallons it took to paint the four bus stops in the two towns.

Pine Strawberry School Superintendent Cody Barlow recalls the first time he met Nina, “She came in this past spring and asked if she could go around and paint the bus shelters.

“Maintenance Director Keith Howell informed her of all the bus shelter locations and we didn’t hear from her again.”

By the time school opened in August for the 201516 school year, Barlow noticed the projects had been completed, “Lo rattlin’ and behold, all four bus shelters the rim look brand new with a fresh coat of paint.”

Obviously thankful for the volunteer project, Barlow wanted to acknowledge the woman but didn’t know her identity.

“We had to do some asking around to find out her name,” says Barlow.

Max Foster The shelters, Hokkaen recalls, were in dire need of sprucing up, “They soaked up the paint like a sponge, so I was holding my breath hoping we’d have enough.”

Those who cross paths with Nina around town or at the laundromat where she’s employed should reward her with a hearty “Atta boy” for her benevolence and a job well done.

The bus stop shelters were originally built by the Pine Strawberry Take Pride project with help from Tonto Rim Search and Rescue.

Festival – good for visitors, great for P-S

For visitors from the Valley, of which there are hundreds, the 33rd Annual Labor Day Arts and Crafts Guild Festival represents a much welcomed respite to the cool high country pines and a less hectic lifestyle.

“No stoplights, no freeways, and it’s not 115 degrees outside; tell me again, why is it we live in the Valley?” Glendale visitor Luis Murillo was overheard telling a group of friends at last year’s festival.

For Pine-Strawberry residents, however, the festival is more than just a place to have a good time — it’s a source of much-needed revenue that helps support community civic organizations and services such as the Isabelle Hunt Memorial Library, Tonto Rim Search and Rescue, Pine Strawberry Fire Department, the local school and the area food bank.

All of the money the guild earns will be used to fund those nonprofits and others.

The festival kicks off at 8 a.m. and continues until 5 p.m. tomorrow, Saturday, Sept. 5 and you can also visit from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. the following day, Sunday, Sept. 6.

Guild members are anticipating more than 85 vendors will participate, some of which will be in Pine for the first time.

“Come and sign our guest registry in the arts and crafts center and meet some of our local artists and crafters,” invites guild member Debra Price.

Visitors can expect to find booths offering stained glass, original art, wood and copper items, pottery, handwoven blankets, jewelry, candles, greeting cards, handmade clothing, crocheted items and more.

Both days of the festival kick off with the lip-smacking pancake breakfast served up by the Mountain Village Foundation from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. or until the line ends.

Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for children and all proceeds benefit needy children in Pine and Strawberry.

Navajo tacos will also be available both days in the senior dining room.

The hometown musical duo of Chuck and Barbara Casey, aka “Trouble in Paradise” will entertain during jam sessions under the friendly confines of the cultural center ramada.

Chuck, who has been sculpting his music for more than 30 years, plays blues, bluegrass, jazz, rock and country on the solo guitar and has played with the Blue Ambassadors.

Barbara has played classical violin since the fifth grade and played in numerous orchestras and bands around the country. She has been touted as one of the best blues fiddle players in the western U.S. Both musicians’ roots are in classical music and the two attended the same high school in Wichita.

Although the pair plays about every type of music, except hip-hop and rap, their tunes are sometimes recognizable to those with a little gray on top. “Faded Love” is a ’50s ballad sometimes heard and audience favorites can include “Devil’s Dream,” “Red Wing,” Soldier’s Joy” and “Tennessee Waltz.”

Pickups begin in Strawberry

During Paul Paul’s rounds last week as the truck driver for the Fuel Reduction Committee Brush Pickup Program, he paused to say collections in Pine were complete and would begin in zones 5 through 8 in Strawberry this week.

So Strawberry homeowners need to get their brush stacked roadside ASAP because there will be only one brush pickup in each zone. Once the brush truck passes a property it will not come back.

This program is for do-it-yourself property owners who do not have a truck or trailer to be able to remove thinned brush from their property.

No contractor brush piles will be picked up.

Only green waste will be picked up — brush, branches, small cut rounds and leaf, cone and needle litter.

The PSFR committee was formed in 2004 when the Pine Strawberry area was ranked in the top-10 in the country for having the potential for catastrophic wildfires.

Thanks to the committee’s fuel reduction, trail building and education efforts, the area is no longer among the top-10 most dangerous.

Call the PSFR Hotline at 928-970-0713 for more information.

Alpha and Omega at library

Because Wednesday, Sept. 16, is a half-day at Pine Strawberry School, students will be free to attend the next edition of the Isabelle Hunt Memorial Library’s Movie Madness.

“Alpha and Omega’s Family Vacation” begins at 1 p.m. and there is no charge. Snacks will be served.

Children should bring a pillow so as to be comfortable on the floor and fire codes restrict the number of children who can attend, so be on time.

Wine and more

How does a combination of soothing spa treatments and delicious fine wines sound?

Max Foster photo

During summer arts and crafts festivals, like this weekend’s Labor Day festivities, retro playground equipment at the community center (formerly the Pine Strawberry School) is always a big attraction for the children in attendance.

Both could be yours if you’re the lucky winner of the Library Friends special gift basket raffle that will be held at 2 p.m., Sunday Sept. 6 in the Library Activity Room.

The basket is overflowing with special spa delights and an assortment of wines that should appease the palate of most every connoisseur.

Tickets are $2 each, six for $5 and 15 for $10.

Ducats will be available at the Library Friends huge Labor Day Weekend Bag Book Sale to be held from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, Sept. 4, Sept. 5 and Sept. 6, also in the activity room.

Bags for the sale will be provided.

Bike invasion

From the number of mountain bikes in town, it was obvious that Fire on the Rim pre-race practice sessions were held during the past two weekends, Aug. 22-23 and again on Aug. 29-30.

The night World War III began – Part 1 I loved my little Korean War Air National Guard outfit. I cherish the memory of the three years we served; they were some of the best years of my life. In 1950, when North Korea attacked South Korea, 300 young men enlisted in the 103rd Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron.

We shared a common age, a common background, and a common cause that created a sense of unity like none I’ve ever seen again.

However, that sense of unity was not shared by the “older” men in the outfit; and therein, Johnny, lies a tale worth telling. As Mark Antony says in Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar”

as he prepares to lift in charge of 300 healthy, the winding sheet off your turn active, high school grads the very thoroughly who have just finished stabbed Caesar, “If you four years of being told have tears, prepare to what to do by a mixed shed them now.” I have batch of excellent teachers and total lunkheads, to warn you though; is asking for trouble. you’ll be shedding tears Oh, boy!

much less how to train anyone else to do it.

I have to stop here for a moment and admit something.

I am NOT going to use the real name of our section NCO. He’s probably under the sod by now, but since it’s just faintly possible that he understood human reproductive methods he may have had kids or grandkids. I don’t want them to know what a blockhead “dear old granddad” was, so I won’t use his real name.

Anyway, we went to SSgt. Michowski (the name is pronounced “my house key”) and asked when the training was going to start. “Can’t,” he told us.

“We ain’t got no Radio Shack.”

So we sat in the barracks, or went on guard duty, or pulled KP, or pulled grass, or marched in more circles.

But train? Uh-uh.

by Sergeant Michowski we were proudly told, “This here is the Radio Shack.”

I never saw a radio in there, but what I did see was 30 guys cram-jammed into a space large enough for us to breathe only if we didn’t all try to do it at the same time. It didn’t matter though. The very next day Sergeant Michowski kept us outside until he said something I will never forget.

“Listen youse guys. There ain’t no room for alla yuhs in the Radio Shack, an we gotta do somethin. So ...”

What he said next you will not believe!

we were ready to do more than march in circles, the Air Force called the outfit up.

Off to Otis Air Force Base on Cape Cod we went, where followed what was optimistically termed “intensive training.” Ever heard the phrase, “The blind leading the blind?” That was the situation up there on Otis. Three hundred young recruits clambered out of trucks and settled into barracks, ready, willing, and able to learn. But who was there to teach us anything? Those old World War II retreads? Forget it! The very first thing those of us in the Radio Section learned was that our NCOs didn’t have a clue how to operate a radio,

Monsoon lifts, muddies the creek Christopher Creek is normally a beautiful, babbling brook, but on Monday evening it became a boisterous, boiling, brown brew, bashing its way through the town after a flashy, torrential thunderstorm passed through. Neighbors reported between 2 and 2-1/2 inches, while Keith Mead down on the other end of Columbine had 3-1/2 inches. Up See Canyon the National Weather Service radar showed 3 to 4 inches over the entire 5,000-acre watershed.

Christopher/Kohl’s Fire Department brought out the barricades to block the Car Wash and photographers lined the banks getting their pictures and videos for social media. Rainfall amounts from the storm brought our annual total to a tenth less than 25 inches for the year. Additional rain will put us in the above average category.

As for a damage report, the biggest event was the pine tree across the road at the Battle cabin, which fell like a good kicker in football putting one right through the goalposts.

Village ready for lots of Labor Day weekend fun What’s that? August is already history?

Where did the month go? Now we have Labor Day weekend coming up THIS weekend and the crunch is on for the Hellsgate Fireflies Barbecue Saturday, Sept. 5.

Since the Fireflies lost their main cook, Linda the Stailey, the Fireflies village Auxiliary has not had its previously annual Labor Day Barbecue in a few years. As in years past, the menu will be pulled pork sandwiches, homemade beans by Kendra Lewinson, coleslaw and a drink for $7. Janet The barbecue is the most Snyder important fundraiser the Fireflies host. This year it is doubly important since Tonto Village will be having a new fire station in a few months.

Since the building is not ready, the barbecue will be held at the old fire station, just as in years past. A bake sale will also be offered and hopefully, everyone within shouting distance will participate and bring a baked item to be sold. It goes almost without saying that all money raised at the barbecue will be going toward the cost of the new fire station.

The Village needs everyone’s help to make the new fire station a reality.

The time for the barbecue is from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Please make an effort to support your firefighters and that will also help you.

The bake sale items can be brought to the fire station the day of the barbecue or can be brought to Janet Snyder’s house at 424

W. Johnson Boulevard any time. By the way, the Fireflies need help from big strong firefighters to help set up the tables and sweep out the bays and move the fire trucks. The personnel from Station #23 in Mead Ranch has always helped when needed and on Saturday we really need their help.

Not only is the barbecue lunch being held, but the Tonto Village Chapel with Pastor Mark Pratt, will be handing out coffee and donuts at the chapel from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.

Labor Day weekend.

The Modified Motorcycle Association is hosting a Camp and Jam throughout the holiday weekend in the Village. Registration will start on Friday at the Double D Café in the patio area.

The campers will be setting up their tents or campers in the island area across from the Double D. I have been told many activities are being planned including live music on Friday and Saturday nights in the patio area.

Firefighter Brian Wiggins has recently passed the tests that qualify him to be a bona fide paramedic. Congratulations, Brian.

Wildland firefighters have been busy helping with the major fires in the northwest. Bobbi Doss and John Ceja are both working the Okanogan Complex Fire in Washington state, and Captain Nick Fitch and Bob Evanson left a few days ago to Heron, Idaho with Joe Dean and David Malloy. Our prayers are with them for their safe return home.

Sept. 1 was Karen Fausz’s birthday, so a recipe she included in cookbook, “Fireflies Can Cook,” is the feature this week.

Taffy Apple Salad 1 large can crushed pineapple 1/2 cup sugar 2 tablespoons flour 1 egg 2 tablespoons vinegar 3 to 4 apples, unpeeled, but cored and diced 1 cup salted peanuts, coarsely chopped 8 ounce tub Cool Whip (or similar) 1 to 2 cups mini marshmallows Stir sugar and flour together, add egg, then combine with other ingredients and cook in heavy saucepan until thick. Chill.

Next add apples to cooled mixture to coat.

Fold in rest.

Beaver Valley Beaver Valley will celebrate its 50th Anniversary with Beaver Valley Day on Saturday, Sept. 5.

Open to the public, the day of festivities starts with a pancake breakfast from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. at the Beaver Valley Fire Station.

Members of the Beaver Valley Auxiliary, a nonprofit group, will provide a breakfast of pancakes, sausage and beverages. A giant community yard sale also starts at 8 a.m.

During the breakfast period, a Firewise education program will begin at 9 a.m. featuring guest speakers Carrie Dennott and Terry Hudson from the Arizona State Forestry Division. They will offer tips about how property owners and communities can reduce risks from wildfires by using proven techniques. Free Firewise educational materials will be available all day.

Morning events include a pickle ball demonstration, fire truck rides, raffles and viewing of silent auction items. Afternoon activities will start at 1 p.m. with old-fashioned root beer floats, face-painting, games for both kids and adults, including volleyball and a horseshoe tournament. Kids can enjoy a bounce house and Wild Rapids water slide and a special slide duck race event.

In late afternoon, a barbecue hamburger dinner will take place with music as silent auction and raffle winners are announced.

Proceeds benefit Beaver Valley community projects and the Beaver Valley Fire Department.

Beaver Valley is located 7.2 miles northeast of the junction of Highway 87 and Houston Mesa Road. From Payson, travel north on Highway 87, turn east on Houston Mesa Road, continue past several communities and turn

left at the adobe wall with the “Beaver Valley Estates” sign. Stay on Beaver Flat Road, which curves and leads to the meadow and fire station, the center of Beaver Valley Day activities.

For more information, call 928-468-9269.

Birthday greetings

Karen Fausz starts off the month by celebrating her birthday on Sept. 1. Many good wishes to you Karen, I know you have been under the weather for a while, I hope everything is going OK with you.
