The Arizona Department of Public Safety is investigating a crash involving a Gila County Sheriff’s Office deputy and an SUV Saturday that sent four people to the hospital and closed State Route 87 for more than three hours. Deputy Cole LaBonte will continue to work while DPS conducts the investigation. Around 8 p.m. Saturday, LaBonte was heading northbound on State Route 87 to investigate a call of suspicious activity in the Pine area, according to Lt. Tim Scott with the GCSO. Near milepost 259, LaBonte’s patrol vehicle crashed nearly head-on with a SUV heading southbound. It is unknown who, if anyone, was at fault. Paramedics took four people in the SUV to the hospital with non-life threatening

Balloons, bubbles and clowns. What was it? Homecoming week! Kudos to the Payson High School students — they kept the spirit from last year and infused last week’s Homecoming celebrations with energy, creativity and joy. With a circus theme of “Under the Big Top,” the whole district got into the action, especially during the parade on Friday afternoon before the game. Each school, department, high school class and club entered a float, making the parade span the entire length of Main Street. Payson Unified School District showed off its float building capability in numerous ways: The transportation department turned a bus into a bag of popcorn with kernels of balloons and its sides draped in red and white stripes to mimic the popcorn box. Superintendent Greg Wyman dressed in a band uniform and top hat to act the part of ringmaster — a lot of people didn’t even recognize him. Clowns of all types in dresses and jumpsuits, big hair and big hats wandered along the parade route. Julia Randall Elementary had students from See Homecoming, page 10A

injuries. They were later released. LaBonte, who was uninjured, gave a urine sample and had his blood drawn as per county policy. He has not been placed on leave and will continue to work pending the investigation, Scott said. Scott said he could not comment further on the incident. LaBonte joined the GCSO a little more than a year ago. While DPS conducted its investigation Saturday night, the highway was closed in both directions until roughly 11:30 p.m., Scott said. Investigators took measurements of skid marks and crews cleaned debris from the roadway. Deputies re-routed traffic to the Control Road and Houston Mesa Road. LaBonte said while the investigation is open, he cannot comment. He would confirm that he is back on duty.

An air tanker battles the Rough Complex Fire in California. WUI building codes can save homes and firefighters, studies show.

Firefighters can accurately assess the vulnerability of structures to wildfires, which can save firefighters in a crisis by telling which homes they should try to save, according to a new study by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the U.S. Forest Service. The exhaustive analysis of the effects of the 2007 Witch Creek/Guejito Fire in California not only demonstrated the value of the kind of WildlandUrban Interface building code Payson and Gila County have spurned, but showed the value of assessing fire risks before the disaster strikes. As it happens, the Payson Fire Department plans to launch a houseby-house effort to try to educate homeowners when overgrown lots or problems with construction pose a high fire risk. Firefighters will assess the fire risk of an individual property and leave a notice for homeowners interested in making voluntary changes to protect their homes. The recently published study underscored the value of such an effort. The NTST study comes in the wake of a series of reports on the link between wildfires and homes not built to minimize fire danger and overgrown lots. Those recent studies include a study of the fire hazards posed by See Fire-adapted, 2A

Hamblen said the two do not allow the hose to go under the water. “I’m not connected to the troughs,” said Hamblen. “We maintain an air gap important for ADEQ.” He did say he purchased an inexpensive backflow prevention device for his hose bibs, regardless. Hamblen said when he laid out the circumstances to ADEQ, they were “flabbergasted” that PSWID would require such an extensive and expensive addition to the water system. On its website, ADEQ’s statute R18-4-215 states that if the cross-connection of a water system could potentially harm the human health through chemicals, deteriorated sanitary quality or fire sprinkler water, it must have backflow equipment installed. The Town of Payson also requires backflow equipment if a water hookup has a physical connection with the public water system. Some of the examples they gave include swimming pools, solar heat systems, irrigation sprinklers and laboratory equipment. Payson’s code says that plumbing codes and state drinking water regulations require any water outlets to use either the physical air gap or a mechanical backflow prevention device to

Two firefighters assigned to protect homes watch and wait as the Okanogan Complex Fire in Washington state bears down on a subdivision. Drought-driven wildfires in the West have consumed more than 1,600 homes and killed at least five people. Studies of earlier wildfires in California and elsewhere have demonstrated that a Wildland-Urban Interface building code can save homes and reduce the risk of injury and death for firefighters. Payson has been pondering whether to adopt such a building code for more than two years and Gila County hasn’t undertaken any serious discussion of an updated code.

Fire-adapted codes save homes, lives From page 1A porches and the wrong screens on ventilation outlets. Moreover, another study found that homes inadequately protected from fire pose at least as great a danger to the surrounding forest as wildfires pose to the community. The study of the Witch Creek Fire offered some sobering lessons in fire preparation for Rim Country, where neither Payson, Star Valley nor Gila County have moved to adopt any version of the internationally validated Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) building code already used by towns like Flagstaff and Prescott. The Witch Fire burned 200,000 acres near San Diego and consumed 1,600 structures, doing $1.8 billion in damage. Two people died and 39 firefighters suffered injuries. The researchers exhaustively examined one 274-home subdivision, including 245 within the fire area. The flames destroyed 74 of those homes and damaged 16 others. The researchers set out to discover why some homes burned and other homes survived and considered everything from roof structure to vegetation on the property. The researchers found that the WUI risk assessment process accurately described which houses the flames would claim. Firefighters had twice as much success protecting homes with fire-resistant roofs, no overhanging flammable eaves, no porches built in a way to let embers in under the deck and other characteristics covered by the WUI code. The researchers concluded that firefighters should assess structure risks using the WUI system and concentrate their efforts on saving the structures with low risk scores. Not only will they have a much better chance of success, but firefighters will face a much lower risk. The authors concluded firefighters should sacrifice high-risk structures rather than

endanger firefighters trying to stop a wildfire from reaching the structures in an “unwinnable situation.” The study echoed the findings of an analysis of the Yarnell Fire, which killed 19 Prescott wildlands firefighters trying to reach the poorly prepared, unincorporated community. Like Payson, Yarnell had neither a WUI code nor an active program for clearing brush from residential neighborhoods. The firefighters died when trapped in a small, brush-choked canyon that hadn’t burned in half a century. A study after the fire found that the flames consumed many of the buildings in the subdivision, but left standing almost all the structures around which owners had cleared brush. Other studies have demonstrated other problems that arise from the failure of towns and homeowners to take preventive measures. For instance, homeowners worry about wildfires rushing in from the forest to destroy their communities. But a study in Colorado found that the most destructive fires there started on private land and spread to the forest. The study by Forest Service researchers was published in the journal for the Society for Risk Analysis and appeared in the society’s online research journal. The study noted that wildfires have grown in power and impact in recent years and will likely continue to do so, given the projections of global temperature increases as a result of the buildup of heat-trapping pollutants in the atmosphere. Since 2007, major fires have killed 84 people in Greece and 173 in Australia. In Colorado, privately owned land often has more of a buildup of brush and trees than publicly owned land. In addition, the fires that start on private land burn much closer to neighborhoods and communities. The researchers recommended conduct-

ing risk assessment in forested communities to try to mitigate the chance of having a fire on private property spread through the town — or out into the surrounding forest. Meanwhile, the National Institute of Standards and Technology continues to conduct tests to help fire officials continually update the WUI building codes. The Payson Fire Department nearly two years ago recommended the town adopt a modified version of the latest WUI code. An advisory commission deadlocked on whether to recommend the changes to the town council. When the Payson council took up the question, council members decided to delay action while town officials worked their way through a comprehensive overhaul of the entire building code. The topic hasn’t come up again before the council in nearly a year. The NTST regularly conducts tests of building materials and designs, including a recent series of tests that blew sparks and embers onto open decks made of various materials. Decks with space underneath can easily trap embers a big fire can scatter for a mile in all directions. Hidden under the porch, the embers smolder until they set something on fire — often then quickly spreading to the house. The NTST tested a variety of building materials and different ways of screening the porch to determine how to reduce the chance such embers will result in a catastrophe. The tests then allow fire officials to recommend changes in the fire codes for towns like Payson. For instance, one recent series of tests demonstrated that the standard, wire mesh coverings over building vents still let too many sparks and embers into attics and ventilation spaces. Most building codes require wire mesh to catch those embers with a quarter-inch grate. But the NTST tests showed the mesh size should be considerably smaller to provide adequate protection.

Pine water company requires expensive valve From page 1A protect the public water system. Backflow specialist Brenda Huff said currently Payson does not require backflow equipment for single-family horse properties, but she knows that the state of California requires it for all

properties with livestock. Huff said enforcing a backflow requirement fairly for all livestock property would take more employees. Huff also said if a property owner is required to install a backflow device, she has a whole packet of information to help the

resident. She said it doesn’t have to be as expensive as $1,000. Hamblen said he also researched numerous water districts including, Tempe, Chandler, Queen Creek, Prescott, Prescott Valley and Mesa to see what their requirements are for single family property. Nowhere could he find a mechanical backflow device required, as PSWID seems to be requiring of its residents. On PSWID’s website, a message “From the Board Chairman” Tom Weeks opens his communication with a synopsis of the PSWID Rules and Regulations: “The Customer shall furnish and maintain a high quality private cut-off valve and approved backflow prevention device (if backflow is required) on the

Customer’s side of the meter and within 18” of the meter. Customer should only be using their valve to shut off water or turn on water to the premises. If you do not have a cut-off valve please contact a plumber to have one installed. The Company (PSWID) valve is not to be used for this purpose. Hamblen and Waters say ambiguity of the rule’s language allows PSWID to selectively enforce the backflow requirement. “I think they are selectively enforcing the rule,” said Hamblen. “Lynn Waters lives behind the water district office. I live 150 yards from where Lynn Waters lives. I expect to come home any day to have my water shut off.”

lookback

They’re all our kids right now The band trumpets and thrums. The kids paint their faces and build floats. The cheerleaders fly through the air. The music plays, the boys lead, the girls smile. And the players run their hearts out. Homecoming: Ah, sweet, sweet Homecoming. So we enjoyed one of those perfect, small-town weekends — cheering on the kids — our kids. For on this delightful weekend, they all felt like our kids. Granted, the other team broke our hearts — catching the impossible pass in the end zone as time ran out. The Longhorn stands collapsed into shocked silence. The players down on the field who’d tried so hard stood staring in disbelief. And it maybe would have wrecked the weekend — except for the joy that burst forth on the other side of the field. Players went down on their knees. The little cluster of fans who made the road trip hugged one another wildly. We had to smile to see them. Because they’re our kids too — they’re all our kids, on such a night. Hope you saw the parade. Hope you savored the expressions of the paraders, the delight of the little ones when they caught the candy flung out along the route, the satisfaction of the parents and teachers who helped. That’s why we keep harping on education. That’s why we keep nagging the Legislature. That’s why we keep splashing the efforts of the Longhorns on the front page. These kids give us heart — and hope. When nothing else makes sense, just go down and wait for the parade to pass by. Just wander down to the auditorium and watch the drama kids perform. Just sit in the stands and watch the band members watching the drum major with perfect concentration. Just go down to the field on a hot afternoon and watch the players sweat and practice. They give it their all. They give us purpose. And in the end, it doesn’t matter how the ball comes down in that last moment. It doesn’t even matter what the scoreboard shows. It is enough to see them fling themselves at life, in shoulder pads, a band uniform or face paint. We love those kids. Ain’t it great to be a Longhorn?

Fire codes vital

So, turns out regulations work. At least, adopting a Wildland-Urban Interface building code can save homes and lives, according to repeated studies in Arizona, California and elsewhere. Consider the comprehensive study of the impact of fire-adapted building codes when it came to limiting damage from the 200,000-acre Witch Fire in California — which destroyed 1,600 buildings, inflicted $1.8 billion in damage, killed two people and injured 39 firefighters. The researchers examined one 274-home subdivision the fire swept through. In that subdivision, the fire consumed 74 homes and damaged 16 others. The research showed that two things influenced whether the fire engulfed the homes. First, did homeowners clear the brush away from their houses? Second, did the houses comply with WUI building code standards when it comes to ember-resistant roofs, flammable, overhanging eaves and open porches? Turns out, a Firewise brush clearing and fire-adapted building codes enormously increase the odds your house will survive if a nearby crown fire rains embers down on your community. Hopefully, this inexorable accumulation of evidence will eventually convince the Payson Town Council, the Star Valley council and the Gila County Board of Supervisors to adopt the kinds of measures that Flagstaff, Prescott and many other communities have already embraced. If they don’t do it to save our homes, perhaps they’ll do it to save the firefighters sworn to protect us.

exacerbate, the collapse of America’s global influence that is taking place under this administration — and indeed, has so often been set in motion by its policies. Just consider how much more dangerous our world has become under President Obama. Russia has invaded Ukraine and annexed Crimea. China is rapidly modernizing its military while building and militarizing land features in the South China Sea. Cyberattacks against our nation are increasing in regularity and severity. The hard-won gains of our men and women in uniform have melted away following the president’s decision to withdraw all of our troops in 2011. And the Syrian conflict has claimed 220,000 lives, created the largest refugee crisis in Europe since World War II, and contributed to the unraveling of the entire Middle East. ISIL, al-Qaeda, and their terrorist offshoots are expanding throughout the region, and deeper into Africa and South Asia as well. And all the while, the Iranian regime is furthering its ambitions to become the dominant power in the Middle East, and the deal before the Congress now will only help them accomplish that goal. Our nation needs leadership — a strategy and policies to address the challenges to our security, especially the broader threat posed by Iran. This larger response should include new legislation to increase sanctions against Iran for its malicious activities in the Middle East and its human rights abuses, provide new security assistance for our allies and partners in the region, and fund our military to meet the serious threats we face. But the first step the Congress must take is rejecting this dangerous deal with Iran.

Control those do-gooders Editor: Payson city wants to strengthen its regulations concerning the only community garden in town? Oh, the horrors of these volunteers raising produce on 147 individual plots, of giving (so far) almost 8,000 pounds of food to the city’s three food banks this year. Something must be done to rein in these do-gooders before they infect the city with more volunteerism and good deeds. Really, can’t Payson’s city dads find something worthwhile to stick their noses into? Steve Matlock

Loves her doctor Editor: While I was mentally preparing myself for the pain I’d been told accompanies a cortisone shot, Dr. Pineres told me she was finished. When I expressed my amazement at the lack of discomfort, she explained it away by saying she’s had 20 years experience giving the injections. Our health care system gets a lot of criticism. It’s quite easy to be angry about the cost of insurance, the wait time for appointments or treatment, etc. What isn’t as easy to do is recognize the difficulty and dedication necessary to work in the

medical field. Dealing with the public is always challenging (ask anyone who’s worked as a waitress, clerk, police officer, fireman) and we don’t go to our doctor’s office when we’re at our best so their days are mostly filled with complaints. It would be a nice gesture if the next time you visit your doctor you let them know you appreciate them. If you’re seeing Dr. Pineres, please tell her Mary says thanks and that my knee feels much better. Mary Williams

Majority supports Iran deal Editor: According to my research, the honorable Rep. Paul Gosar apparently has not been exposed to military service or he would not so strongly oppose the Iran agreement. He is not offering alternatives to the agreement, but simply suggests we must support our allies in Israel. Do we not have a responsibility to support the U.K., France, Germany, Russia, China and Iran who signed the deal with us? The congressional delegates who are inciting fear and confusion about Iran are the same people who pushed us into Iraq. This agreement does more to slow Iran’s weapon development than any alternative. Polls indicate that most Americans support the agreement by 54 percent. Fifty-three percent of American Jews want Congress to approve the

deal. I was a child during World War II and lost three beloved uncles. My husband was in Korea at age 16 and saw the horrors of war. Our son was draft age during the Vietnam war. We have seen enough of war; the Middle East has been at war for centuries. It is time for Republicans and Democrats alike to begin the journey to solve through negotiations all of the overwhelming issues we face today. Sylvia Freeman

Never been harmed by a monument Editor: I’ve never been harmed by a monument, but I know the harm a uranium mine can do. Ask the people in Grand Junction, Colo. where some reports that over a billion dollars has been spent cleaning up the tailings left from the mining in the ’50 and ’60s. That was taxpayer money, not the private companies that did the mining and processing. I’m sure no one knows how many people have died from the health problems caused by the uranium mining, but I doubt the harmful effects of converting federal land to a national monument can come anywhere near that.

Payson Town Manager: New role for an old hand by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

From a Wyoming high school, he set out to become a town engineer, but never dreamed he would one day end up heading up an entire town. On Thursday, the Payson Town Council appointed LaRon Garrett the new town manager. Garrett has been Payson’s assistant town manager for the last four years, but the new role means a bigger office and more responsibility and responsibility for the budget. Councilor Fred Carpenter, a former

LaRon Garrett

Payson Town Manager

Payson town manager, said he has faith in Garrett. “He is a man of outstanding character who has my whole-hearted support for the position of town manger,” he said. Garrett has worked for the town for more than 20 years, having served as town engineer, public works director and assistant town manager. Then-town manager Debra Galbraith left earlier this year, taking a leave of absence to finish out her tenure. While initially skeptical about taking the top job, Garrett accepted the post when councilors asked if he would like to stay

on as town manager. Garrett has worked under four town managers in Payson, including Carpenter. Carpenter said he has known Garrett for 13 years and seen Garrett exhibit his loyalty to the town and its residents. While Garrett has no town manager experience, he has headed up several departments and overseen several major projects, including Green Valley Park and roadway and water line improvements. Vice Mayor Michael Hughes said Garrett proved himself during Galbraith’s long absence as she used

up months of accumulated vacation and sick time. “I think we could do far worse than LaRon as town manager,” he said. Mayor Kenny Evans said Garrett has a uniquely qualified memory of town events. “Whatever I ask about, he knows not only who did it, but who their grandmother dated,” he said. “I am not sure that is experience that can be replicated.” The council unanimously approved Garrett’s appointment. He becomes town manager Oct. 1.

Council debates waiver to benefit airport business by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

If the Payson Town Council waives fees for one business, will it set a bad precedent? That’s the issue the town council discussed last week after a business owner at the airport asked the town to waive about $4,000 in lease payments to help her make improvements

to the town-owned facility. Margie Oldenkamp, president of MPG East, said she want to install $24,000 in improvements and hopes the town will waive a $1,300 rent payment for the next three years. She said her improvements would give Native Air a permanent place to call home after moving from Banner Payson Medical Center to the airport.

PHI Air Medical now operates from the medical center. Councilor Rick Croy said he opposed the request for fear of setting a precedent with other businesses. He noted $3,890 was a small amount in the town’s overall budget, but worried how the town would then respond to the next request for a waiver. Oldenkamp said the town ought to give a break to any

History class celebrates U.S. Constitution Week by

Michele Nelson

Payson students got a real-world crash course in the Constitution when lawyer Co Horgan spoke to Robert Hoyt’s history class. “It was so nice to see someone from the real world to let the students know millions of people realize that the Constitution is still relevant and important in everyday life for all citizens,” said Hoyt. The Daughters of the American Revolution started Constitution Week (Sept. 17-23) under President Dwight D. Eisenhower to honor the document at the core of the values of the country. On its website, the DAR explains the aims of the Constitution Week celebration: • Emphasize citizens’ responsibilities for protecting and defending the Constitution. • Inform people that the Constitution is the basis for America’s great heritage and the foundation for our way of life. • Encourage the study of the historical events, which led to the framing of the Constitution in September 1787. Hoyt said Horgan brought more than 200 pocket Constitutions for the students to take home and read. Horgan, an ASU Law School graduate who served in both the Navajo County and Town of Payson Attorneys’ Offices as a prosecutor, has also worked on business litigation cases. The Arizona Foundation for Legal Services & Education arranged with PHS staff for Horgan to come and speak about the Constitution. Hoyt said he was impressed with Horgan’s knowledge of the Bill of Rights. “Co spent the day answering great questions from the students,” said Hoyt. “Her passion was obvious during her presentation, often answering tough questions on current events.” COALITION OF STATES ACROSS 1 Integrate 6 Pulitzer winner William 10 Cubes in miso soup 14 Honshu hub 19 Stellar tennis servers 20 Midday time 21 Revival shout 22 Y, at times 23 Funny film star 25 “Dolphin adventure” park in Florida 27 Author Paton 28 “Il Trovatore” composer 29 Frankfurter brand 30 Deli loaf 31 Weather station pointer 33 Prez Coolidge 35 Calligraphy mishap 37 Passé letter opener 38 Sniffers 40 “I — bad moon rising” 41 Din-din tie-on 44 Mission — (Orange County city) 46 Nile vipers 48 Go-between 52 Like the acid in vinegar 54 Cyber-address 56 Kennel barks 59 Data, briefly 60 Million-dollar contract, e.g. 62 Gall 65 Barq’s maker 67 VW or BMW 68 Flax product 71 Cruise of film 72 State short forms strung together in 12 long answers in this puzzle 79 ER neighbor 80 “I — agree more!” 81 Finger’s end 83 Device setting for store display ANSWER TO PREVIOUS PUZZLE

other business that invests so much in facilities the town will end up owning at the end of the lease. Councilor Chris Higgins agreed, saying he hopes the town would set a precedent of working with businesses. The town signed a 30-year fueling contract with MPG East at the airport in December 2013. Since then, MPG East has installed more than $145,000 in improvements, Oldenkamp said. These include adding a selfserve gas pump with a credit card reader; a larger paved area and taxiway to accommodate bigger planes; new plumbing for the gas tanks and a firewall near the tanks, bringing things up to code; lighting; a storage shed and an updated information kiosk for pilots. The town owns all improvements MPG East makes. Oldenkamp said she is planning to install an additional parking ramp near the fueling station and a parking area for vehicles there to accommodate an air ambulance provider, but did not name Native Air. Native Air has been stationed out at the airport after leaving the hospital pad. Oldenkamp said the air ambulance company would leave without lighting and vehicle parking. She will have a 45-square-

This will cost Oldenkamp $24,000. Oldenkamp asked the town to waive the land rental cost for the new area she is building just for three years to help recoup the cost of her investments. Croy said these improvements were a business decision for Oldenkamp. Oldenkamp said she would make no money on the expansion, but considers it a service to residents who could have access to more than one emergency

helicopter company. She said she would go ahead with the improvements, even if the town won’t waive the lease payments. “I really don’t think it is asking a lot,” she said of the waiver. Councilor John Wilson said the waiver would benefit the community. Croy agreed, but said he was concerned about the “precedent.” Oldenkamp said if she only considered making money, “it would not happen.” “I hope we do set a precedent that we work with businesses more. So I hope we do start setting a precedent,” said Higgins.

Understanding blood test results by

banner supports bike race

Teresa McQuerrey

roundup staff reporter

Sandra Montgomery, director of the laboratory at Banner Payson Medical Center, says 75 percent of all medical decisions made are based on lab results. A majority of those lab results come from blood tests. Montgomery discussed blood tests and understanding their results at the Sept. 16 Lunch & Learn at Banner High Country Seniors (formerly the Senior Circle). Montgomery said the hospital now only does stat and pre-op lab tests. “We loved our patients and it’s hard not see them as often now,” she said. Previously much lab work to monitor patients was also done by the hospital, but now that work is done at Sonora Quest, which is partly owned by Banner Health. “You and your doctor can learn a lot about your health from testing your blood,” Montgomery said. In fact abnormalities can be detected in the blood before an individual has symptoms of disease. “Test results help to confirm that a problem exists, but a normal result is just as significant as an abnormal result.” She explained that test results are usually reported along with a reference range of expected desired values (what is normal) to help guide the doctor in interpreting them. “Reference ranges reflect the numeric values found in healthy people; however, a small number of healthy people — 5 percent — have values that are higher or lower than the ones shown in the reference range. Thus, values higher or lower than those in the reference range might or might not indicate a medical condition,” Montgomery said. The basic blood tests doctors request include: a comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP); lipid panel; complete blood count (CBC). She said some of the important items in the CMP are: glucose, if it is high after fasting it could indicate diabetes, low results may be seen with certain tumors or liver disease; calci-

Sandra Montgomery, director of the laboratory at Banner Payson Medical Center, visits with one of the guests at the Banner High Country Seniors Lunch & Learn program on understanding blood test results. um, while most of it is in the bones, 1 percent is in the blood and is very important for proper function of nerves, enzymes, muscles and blood clotting, high levels may suggest bone disease, excess antacids and milk, excessive vitamin D intake or an overactive thyroid gland; creatinine levels depend on two things — the amount of muscle you have and the ability of your kidneys to excrete the creatinine, a high level usually indicates deterioration in kidney function. The lipid panel shows the individual cholesterol counts. Montgomery said cholesterol is an essential blood fat, too high a level is associated with a higher risk of heart disease and clogged blood vessels. Total cholesterol includes levels of LDL (bad cho-

lesterol) and HDL (good cholesterol). Montgomery explained that the CBC breaks down the values in the various factors of blood: white blood cells; red blood cells; hemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen through the body; hemtocrit, the amount of space in the blood that is occupied by red blood cells; and a number of other factors. The various information found with this series of tests can help your doctor determine if you have an infection, anemia, internal bleeding, kidney disease, cirrhosis, malnutrition or any one of several different cancers. Individuals no longer must wait for a doctor’s orders to get laboratory tests, Montgomery

said. A new Arizona law allows anyone to get laboratory tests from a licensed clinical lab. “This is referred to as direct access testing. Sonora Quest Laboratories offers this service,” she said. Asked about the prices, she said the costs associated with the different tests are generally quite reasonable. However some tests are around $200 — those for allergies (for desert areas, $197; for mountain areas, $213) and the screening for sexually transmitted diseases ($210). Sonora Quest’s website, sonoraquest.com has information about the tests available (My Lab Request), costs and a means to make an appointment for the work.

Adaptable apple – genes let it grow everywhere

Ask the expert

Wind, pollution and allergies by Pulmonologist Larry Spratling, MD chief medical officer at banner payson medical center

Question: Windy days or times of high pollution tend to agitate my allergies and respiratory problems. What can I do to avoid heightened symptoms during these times? Answer: Atmospheric irritants/pollutants bother everyone to some degree, but those with asthma/allergy and other obstructive lung diseases are much more affected than the general population. The hypersensitivity of these individuals causes them to develop constriction of their airways when irritants are inhaled. The greater the concentration of the irritant, the greater the constriction of the bronchial tubes, but we should remember that sensitive individuals begin to have symptoms at less than one-tenth the exposure level that would affect a normal individual. Avoiding exposure is critical for these individuals. They should stay indoors (air conditioning) as much as possible during alerts. If they must be outside, they should avoid heavy exercise (this would increase inhalation). They should consider wearing a mask, especially if particulates are high. Some particularly sensitive individuals receive benefit from air filtration (such as the hepa type) in their home or work environment. However, from a practical standpoint, it’s difficult to remain in the protected filtered environment for long periods. Prescription medications can reduce the degree of sensitivity to irritants and also provide relief from the broncho-constriction following exposure. There is no substitute for close monitoring by a physician skilled in the management of respiratory illness. Affected individuals should have an action plan developed with their physician to manage changes in their respiratory function following exposure.

Prevention research key to ending Alzheimer’s Banner Health Group Alzheimer’s is a devastating and debilitating disease that affects an estimated 5.1 million Americans age 65 and older. Not only does it rob people of their memories and physical abilities, this disease also essentially robs families and friends of their loved ones. World Alzheimer’s Day was Sept. 21, and it is important to recognize the rising impact of the disease — 13.8 million Americans are projected to have Alzheimer’s by 2050 if no new medical breakthroughs are made. While many can feel helpless in the face of Alzheimer’s, there is a relatively new way people can get involved and contribute to the critical research needed to prevent this disease. The Alzheimer’s Prevention Registry, an online community of 141,000 enrollees to date, keeps members up to speed on the latest Alzheimer’s research and offers opportunities to participate in prevention studies coming down the pipeline. Created by Banner Alzheimer’s Institute, the Registry is open to people 18 or older — with or without a family history of the disease — that are committed to ending Alzheimer’s in their lifetime. It provides regular email updates about the latfrom

est Alzheimer’s research happenings, scientific advances and overall brain health. The Registry also sends vital notices and information about upcoming prevention trials and tells volunteers how they can participate. Research participants are typically thought of as people who are already affected by a certain disease, but that’s not always the case. In fact, many Alzheimer’s prevention studies actually need participants without any symptoms of the disease. Studies may need to screen literally thousands of potential participants to find the correct number of volunteers who meet the specific criteria. Without these badly needed volunteers, scientists will not be able to conduct research trials of promising Alzheimer’s therapies, significantly delaying potentially life-saving research and treatments. Signing up for the Registry is free and only takes a few minutes through an easy online enrollment at www.endALZnow.org. By signing up, you can help advance Alzheimer’s treatment and prevention research and stop this debilitating disease from affecting millions more people and impacting hundreds of millions of their loved ones.

1 cup sugar 1 cup butter, melted 1/2 to 1 cup canola oil 1 egg 1 teaspoon baking powder 7-8 cups flour 1/2 cup confectioner’s sugar for garnish Filling

3 apples, peeled, cored and shredded 3 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 cup crushed walnuts/pecans Mix all the dough ingredients, but flour and confectioner’s sugar. Add flour slowly and form a non-sticking dough. Knead for 4-5 minutes. Then, cover the dough with a clean cloth and leave for resting. Meanwhile, cook shredded apples with sugar for about 10 minutes over low-medium heat. When they turn to brown stir in cinnamon and walnuts/pecans. Cut the dough into 3 pieces and flatten each dough with a roller about 1/10 inch thickness. Then cut it into 8 pieces. Put 1 teaspoon filling on the wide side and roll it up (like a croissant). Use baking paper over the baking tray or grease it. Then place the apple cookie rolls on the tray and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake them for about 30 minutes, till they get light brown. Make sure not to over bake. Sprinkle confectioner’s sugar on tops and serve. The University of Minnesota Extension Service suggests the following for making the great apple harvest last longer. Freezing Apples Whole With the Skins On

• Wash the whole apples,

drain, core and dry. • Place them in freezer bags and freeze. • When you’re ready to use them, run cold water over each

frozen apple, just before peeling. Apples frozen whole can be used for pie, apple sauce or in other recipes that call for cooked apples.

Chef Richard brings talents to PHS Southern chef combines flare for cooking with love of teaching by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

Chef Richard Erskine loves cooking and he loves teaching. So, what does a chef with tons of experience, who had a show on both TV and radio and his own cookbook do? Teach culinary arts at Payson High School and start an “Ask the Chef” column with the Payson Roundup. The southern chef came to Payson this year to take over the PHS Culinary Arts and Life Skills program from Devon Wells — the recently retired instructor who brought in the Career in Culinary Arts Program to Payson. He had other reasons, too. In fact, millions of them. In the south, they call them ‘skeeters.’ “Yes, not nearly as many skeeters,” he agreed then added, “but I just wanted to start a new life in a new area and I thought that this looked like a nice area of the country to look.” He’s wasted no time settling in. For the last few weeks, he booked a booth at the Payson Farmers Market to showcase his senior culinary arts students’ skills. Rotating in students, Erskine had a menu of omelets and biscuits and gravy along with specialties made from Farmers Market produce. Next, Erskine turned his attention to the Northern Gila County Fair. He had his beginning to advanced Culinary Arts and Life Skills students enter cooking and sewing projects. “For beginning culinary I gave them 10 basic recipes of muffins

Chef Richard Erskine came to Payson to take over the PHS Culinary Arts and Life Skills program. and candy. Culinary II did something gluten-free,” he said. His Life Skills class entered scarecrows to show off their sewing skills. Erskine said his love of cooking started at home. His father, a lieutenant commander in the Navy, and his mother loved cooking because with six children, someone was always hungry. “Both my mother and father cooked in the house, so there was always cooking going on,” he said. Then he joined 4-H and honed his skills. He entered the county cooking contest and won his county and district out of the eight to 10 high schools in the Charleston area. But he didn’t stop there. “I was involved in the old home economics (class) and I helped out in the cafeteria during free periods,” said Erskine. Erskine’s favorite style of cooking shouldn’t be a surprise since he grew up in Charleston, a

city by the sea — southern comfort foods and seafood. During college, Erskine learned he also loved teaching. “During college at Johnson & Wales University, I was asked to teach hospitality students basic culinary skills and ever since then I have loved teaching,” he said. Watching him with the Culinary I students, his teaching talent shines through. He never got fazed when students didn’t know a caramel would melt a plastic cup in the microwave or that bananas are best mashed with a fork. Instead, he calmly told them, “Make sure you’re following directions,” and “Each of the kitchens has a fan…” Erskine never misses a chance to teach. He said people would come up to him in the market and ask basic cooking questions, so he decided to help them and wrote an “Ask The Chef” column for two different newspapers in

the south. “I have a lot of people that come up to me at the grocery store or email me with basic cooking questions so I thought I would start writing an article and answer folks’ questions,” he said. Erskine’s column afforded him a chance to delve into many topics, but he does have a favorite one. “I love explaining to people what cuts of meats are used for what cooking techniques, etc.,” he said. Erskine will have his “Ask The Chef” column weekly in The Rim Review. Please send questions to chefrke2@aol.com. Erskine asks that people include their name, town or community they live in and their phone number. “In case they want me to call them,” he said. Erskine’s cookbook is called, “Taste of the South.”

Volunteers help Payson Special Olympics success by

Lucy Karrys

special to the roundup

Payson Special Olympics athletes are gearing up for area and state meets in September and October after practicing hard all summer. Fall sports include swimming, unified swimming, bocce ball, softball and javelin. The athletes will compete in these areas in fall games set to take place October 17-19 in Peoria at Pioneer Park and Sunrise Mountain Pool. Athletes and parents are curious and excited about the new state competition location in Peoria. After 10 successful years at the beautiful stadium and sports complex in Surprise, it is hard to imagine it getting better. Perhaps Peoria has more seating for families watching swim competition, which was the only drawback at Surprise. Swimmers compete in free style, backstroke, butterfly, breaststroke and medley relays. Swimming practices moved from Taylor Pool to the Tonto Apache Pool in August and were split into a school group and an adult group. Payson Area Delegation head Becky Derwort, who has worked with Special Olympics and the athletes since the 1970s, works with coach George Karrys, a paramedic/firefighter. The coaches and a core of and devoted volunteers take time from their lives to help out at Special Olympics. Mike McCannon, owner of the Buffalo Grill, and Dave Ranck, a retired swim coach, along with Anne Kane, a volunteer mom, make up the rest

of the coaching team. Long-time coaches and Special Needs advocates Diane Mullaly and Ruby Lane coach Bocce with help from the mom of three athletes, volunteer Jenny Smith. In addition Liz Larson and Buffy Lincoln help out. Volunteers are invaluable to the Special Olympics, making everything else possible. To volunteer, please contact Becky Derwort at 928-474-9142 or 928-978-3893. Bowling, headed up by Karrie Brunson, started Sept. 21 from 1-3 p.m. at Rim Bowling. The winter sports also include bocce ball, the oldest lawn or backyard sports game on earth – dating back to 5000 B.C. A painting of two boys playing bocce was discovered in an Egyptian Tomb and dated 5200 B.C. From Egypt bocce spread throughout the Middle East where it passed on to the Greeks and to the Romans who shared the game throughout the Roman Empire. At times bocce was so popular it was played in churches and castles and city streets where it became hard to walk without getting hit in the shins – prompting a ban on street games. The game initially involved rounded stones but now relies on wooden looking balls made of colored composite materials. A regulation bocce court is 76 feet long and 12 feet wide, but people play in all kinds of settings. Payson Special Olympic bocce volunteers Tom Mullaly and John Vaillancourt and Scott Palmer built two portable bocce courts they use each week under the big ramada at Rumsey Park.

Rim Country Special Olympics athletes and their coaches and volunteers are preparing for big games coming in both September and October. After the games, they tear the court down until the next week. Bocce is for everyone with or without athletic ability and flexible enough to get a game going on any level ground, with teams of two to eight players. The object of Bocce is to get larger colored balls closest to the small white ball called the Pallino thrown out by the first player. Players can also knock other player’s balls away from

the Pallino trying to amass the 16 points for closest ball necessary to win the game. Teams in Payson have two players and there are nine Special Olympic teams and one backup team. There are also wheelchair players who use a bowling type ramp to roll their balls into play on the court. Come on down to Rumsey Park between 9 a.m. and 11

a.m., Thursdays and watch these enthusiastic teams and volunteers. Look for the group’s Facebook page at Payson Special Olympics to see a photo gallery of sports and updates of events for families of those with special needs.

Rim Country inspires western writer, much as it did Zane Grey Zane Grey, one of the most popular and well-known western authors, did some of his writing in a cabin he owned near Payson. The cabin was destroyed by fire in 1990, but a replica stands in Payson as a monument to Grey. C.M. Curtis, who does some of his writing in Payson, and whose first book, the Amazon best-seller, “Return of The Outlaw” was published in 2009 while he

LICENSED

was a Payson resident, is being hailed by readers as the best western writer to come along in a very long time. “I think readers of western fiction are hungry,” says Curtis. “The old classic writers are all dead, and everyone has read and re-read everything they ever wrote. Zane Grey, Earnest Haycox, Luke Short, Louis L’Amour, and others have all gone to the happy hunting ground.”

Curtis attributes the success of his novels, three of which have reached category best-seller status on Amazon, to several factors. “I write in the style of the classic western writers, and apparently readers want that. There is no sex or profanity in my books, and in their reviews, a lot of people express appreciation for that. Others say they don’t usually read westerns, but they really enjoy mine.”

In addition to his best-selling westerns, Curtis has published two books in other genres. “Across the Dark” and “The Three Lives of David Kelly” are both receiving excellent reviews from readers, many of whom say they read everything C.M. Curtis writes. Curtis’ books are available through www.authorcmcurtis.com, or at Amazon. com (go to C.M. Curtis Amazon page.)

Counselor Lori Standifird walked by the float decked out as a clown. The tech department looked like a mobile snack bar with many dressed as foods — including a hot dog. And of course the parade had the football players and cheerleaders. The parade route meandered from the Wilson Dome parking lot in

front of Payson Center for Success then down to Payson High School, up Meadow Street in front of the Rim Country Middle School over to Main Street and in front of JRE. There, students held up handmade signs with “Go Longhorns” colored in gold and purple. The festivities started on Monday (Sept. 14), with students dressing up — each class in its own color. Other days had students dressed as animals or circus acts. On Thursday (Sept. 17) many students came out to enjoy a huge bonfire near the PHS parking lot, while munching on hot dogs and listening to music. And then came the game. The students cheered. The band played.

The cheerleaders did their cheery best and kept spirits up. And both the live longhorn and the fuzzy mascot longhorn brought smiles to everyone’s face. The football team kept everyone in the stands until the bitter end when in the last three seconds the opposing team threw a touchdown pass. But the crowd rallied to give the team a rousing round of applause for a tough game well played. Then the dance. The students turned Wilson Dome into a big top where the King and Queen of Homecoming danced a dance and kids donned big red clown noses and goofy hats. By 11 p.m. it all ended — another successful spirited Homecoming week.

After losing 3-2 to Show Low in the Show Low Invitational, Payson girls soccer coach Chris Harold was hoping his girls could improve defensively in the rematch. Mission accomplished. The Longhorns held the Cougars without a goal in the home opener at Rumsey Park on Wednesday night. Unfortunately, Payson also failed to score and the Section 3 opener for Payson ended in a 0-0 tie after a 20-minute overtime period. “It was nice to hold them scoreless and get a tie because they’d beaten us 12 days earlier,” Harold said. “The girls played real well. “Zero to zero after 100 minutes of soccer. We were close on a couple of occasions but just couldn’t get a ball in the goal.” He praised the performance by goalkeeper Maddy Beier and the defense. “Maddy did real well in goal,” he said. “She saved a couple of great shots. And our defense was real strong. They’re maturing and getting better as a group.” The Longhorns were coming off another

good performance in a 2-2 tie at Camp Verde on Sept. 9. Sophomore Aubrielle Paulson scored both goals and freshman Taylor Brade drew an assist. The coach also praised the performance by freshman midfielder Perla Luna. With several encouraging games under their belts already, Harold said any negative feelings from a 10-0 section loss at defending state champion Lakeside Blue Ridge on Saturday won’t stay with him or his players long. “That was brutal,” he said. “We came out kind of flat and gave up two quick goals. But we were without two starting midfielders — one with an injury and the other working on the homecoming dance — so it was rough. And Blue Ridge is loaded with talent this year. They were a powerful team.” The Longhorns hope to be ready to perform better in the Oct. 10 rematch at home. “Hopefully we’ll get back to full strength we’ll have a better showing against them when we play them again in a couple of weeks,” Harold said. Payson hosts Chino Valley today at 6 p.m. (JV at 4) at Rumsey Park.

Neve Sopeland battles at the net against Chino Valley on Sept. 15.

Everything seemed to go right for Payson’s volleyball team in a 3-0 win over visiting Chino Valley on Sept. 15. And, although they came out on the short end of a 2-3 match in the Div. 3 Section 5 opener at Snowflake on Sept. 17, just pushing a strong program like that to five games shows the Longhorns can compete with anyone. The Lobos are 12-2 overall this season with both losses coming to Division 2 Mesquite in the Snowflake Invitational on Sept. 18-19. Snowflake reached the Class 3A state championship match 10 times in the 20-year period between 1980-99, winning four crowns. The Lobos lost in the Division 3 semifinals two years ago. First-year Longhorns head coach Desirae Burris was impressed with her players. “The girls played the hardest they’ve played all season,” she said. “Snowflake definitely showed us a few weak areas, but it’s nothing that we can’t learn from. The girls played with so much heart.” Setters Emma Creighton and Abby Schruer excelled in running the offense in a formation the Longhorns have practiced much so far this season. “Our setters killed it tonight running a 6-2, something we haven’t practice a whole lot,” Burris said. Senior Taryn North also excelled. “Taryn was a standout

Also, Brittany Proctor came through despite shifting to an unfamiliar position. “Britt was introduced to a new position and excelled at it,” Burris said. “She hasn’t gotten to play right side a whole lot in practice, but I thought we could use her strong block to stop and slow down Snowflake’s hard-hitting outsides.” Snowflake head coach Alan Ramage told Burris he was impressed with her team. “The girls received a huge compliment from the opposing coaches on the strength and level of play,” she said.

Canyon de Chelly’s Walk in

Story and Photos by Pete Aleshire roundup editor

Death has put its heavy hand on this place. Heartbreak and woe have echoed through this canyon. Baffled hatred and mindless prejudice have haunted these sandstone walls. But I cannot feel it, not really. I can only feel this great brimming. I can only feel this great welling up of peace. I can only hear the whisper of wind across the cliff face, coming fragrant up out of this ancient canyon, where 5,000 years of hope and striving have come now in the end to this aching silence. So I stand on the rim of 1,000-foot-deep Canyon de Chelly in the heart of the Navajo Reservation some four hours from Payson and open myself to the silence — seeking to understand, to wrap my mind around all that loss and grief. The raven caws, as he has ever cawed — black as a portent. Even so, I see only the beauty — the great vault of the sky, the deep opening in the earth, the brilliant green of the cottonwoods down on the Valley floor. Perhaps if I go down into the canyon, I will feel the generations of foiled hope — the clash of cultures, the huddled ghosts. Then perhaps I will understand Canyon de Chelly. The soaring sandstone cliffs started out as massive sand dunes 250 million years ago in the heart of the super continent Pangaea, when all the bobbing land masses had gathered together. As a vast desert built the swirls of sand dunes, life remained confined mostly to the oceans — although the ancestors of all the major groups alive today had begun to creep ashore — with the age of dinosaurs still far in the future. The greatest mass extinction in the planet’s history nearly wiped the slate clean, exterminating 90 percent of the ocean-dwelling creatures and 70 percent of those who lived on land. No one knows exactly what happened — probably a massive volcanic convulsion that dramatically changed the climate and the chemistry of the oceans. The massive layers of sandstone sank far beneath the surface as Pangaea broke up and North America drifted off as the Atlantic Ocean opened up. Deep beneath the surface, the radioactive heat and immense pressures of the earth fused those sand dunes into stone. After 200 million years or so, the earth shifted and the Rocky Mountains rose, dragging the whole Colorado Plateau and the buried rocks of Canyon de Chelly to the surface once again. After all this upheaval and transformation, human beings finally found their way to this vast canyon. People have lived in this deep canyon the Navajo call Tseyi — inside the rock — for thousands of years. The first people likely came 10,000 or 15,000 years ago — hunting giant ground sloths and camels and

The Anasazi abandoned White House Ruins in the heart of Canyon de Chelly 600 years ago. The Navajo moved into the region after the people who built these ruins left. Below, the spire of Spider Rock is associated with Spider Woman, who taught the Navajo to weave and who plays a central role in many myths — sometimes a great protector, sometimes destructive.

Closing Prayer from the Navajo Way Blessing Ceremony Today I will walk out, today everything negative will leave me. I will be as I was before, I will have a cool breeze over my body. I will have a light body, I will be happy forever, nothing will hinder me. I walk with beauty before me. I walk with beauty behind me. I walk with beauty below me. I walk with beauty above me. I walk with beauty around me. My words will be beautiful. Talking-Feather.com

They cast pottery, grew beans, corn and squash and hunted. They lived here generation after generation after generation after generation — connected to other cultures by trading routes from California to New Mexico, from Utah and Colorado on down into South America.

But they abandoned this canyon and many others in the region in the 1300s, for reasons that remain mysterious. Some evidence links the abandonment of their settlements to the onset of a devastating drought in the late 1200s and early 1300s. The Navajo moved into the great silence left by the disappearance of the farming people who had abided here for so long. The Navajo migrated into the Southwest along with the Apache from the north, their languages related to the Athabascan languages still spoken in Canada and Alaska. The endlessly adaptable Navajo wandered across a vast area, hunting, gathering and planting crops. They took advantage of the shelter and water in the meanders of the canyon bottom. When the Spanish arrived in the 1600s, the Navajo quickly adapted their culture to the sheep, horse and cattle the Spanish introduced to the more settled and easily dominated Pueblo people, anchored to their crops and villages and therefore much easier to conquer and subjugate. The Spanish could never subdue the Navajo in their remote fortress. The Navajo simply melted away The sandstone formations in Canyon de when the Spanish mounted punitive expeditions.

Payson Roundup DISCOVER Tuesday, September 22, 2015

Canyon de Chelly chant From page 1B could shoot into a ledge and cave in which a band of mostly women and children had taken refuge. They shot into the refuge, killing more than 100 Navajo. One woman crawled up to where the Spanish were slaughtering her people and grappled with a soldier. They both fell to their deaths. The Navajo call the place Adah Aho’ doo’ nili — Two Fell Off. But the Navajo resisted all attempts to subdue them until 1864, when Kit Carson led an expedition into the heart of Canyon de Chelly. Deeply sympathetic to the Native Americans, Carson nonetheless proved the Navajo’s most deadly foe. He understood that the crops and orchards of the canyon together with their sheep herds remained the key to their survival. So he led a scorched earth expedition into Canyon de Chelly. The soldiers did little real fighting, killing about two dozen Navajo. But they destroyed crops and killed all the livestock they could round up in the heart of the winter, leaving the Navajo to starve. Eventually, more than 8,000 Navajo surrendered. The Army marched them to Bosque Redondo in New Mexico, with at least 300 dying on what the Navajo call the Long Walk. After several years of despair, starvation and disease on the desolate reservation, many Navajo slipped away and returned to their homeland. Some holdouts never did surrender, but hid in the remote area around Canyon de Chelly. The canyon sits now in the heart of the 27,000-square-mile Navajo Reservation, the largest ancestral area retained by any Native American tribe. The Navajo Reservation has a population of 300,000, the largest in the nation. About 40 families still live in Canyon de Chelly, which remains tribal land although also protected as a national monument. You can drive along the rim of the two branches of the canyon and ride through the bottom of its winding course with a Navajo guide. But the only place you can hike into the canyon without a guide is from the outlook point above the 600-year-old White House Ruins. So down I went down, down, down into the canyon, into another world. I descended through the swirls of frozen sand dunes, laid down before some cataclysm wiped out 90 percent of the Earth’s species. I dropped down along the two-mile trail along the evidence of a shattered super continent. I slipped and slid down past the habitations of the Anasazi, who raised corn and children here for 1,000 years. I walked finally past the Navajo potters and sand painters, peddling their wares under the cottonwood trees that have grown up since Kit Carson passed this way. So I should have felt ghosts and loss when I finally came to stand in front of White House Ruins, which has sat emptied of dreams since before Columbus stumbled onto a New World — this habitation already ancient even then. The breeze up the canyon dried the sweat in my shirt, rustling the cottonwood leaves. Two Navajo men sat, endlessly patient, in the shade — painted shards of sandstone displayed as snares for the trickle of tourists. A lizard, the tenacious survivor of mass extinctions, scuttled across the sand, evolved to a shade that perfectly matched the sandstone. The shadows of the ruins hid their thoughts, the grief of centuries, with an impassive dignity. A gnarling of cottonwood roots invited me to sit and stare upward at the 600-foot cliff face, marked with artistic streaks of lichen and minerals, leached from the rock over the centuries. The cliff face reduced me to scale and the ruins shrank my life to but a moment. It should have oppressed me, but it lightened me — this little bit of time in so beautiful a place. Then I understood, finally, the Navajo Beautyway Chant and why I could not dwell in sorrow in such a place — for sorrow is as fleeting as the years of my life, but beauty walks on ever more.

Navajo Beautyway Chant In beauty all day long may I walk. Through the returning seasons, may I walk. On the trail marked with pollen may I walk. With dew about my feet, may I walk. In old age wandering on a trail of beauty, lively, may I walk. In old age wandering on a trail of beauty, living again, may I walk. My words will be beautiful ...
