Each year the Payson Community Garden grows a patch of pumpkins to sell for fall decorations. The gardeners invite community members to come on down and pick out their own pumpkin in return for a donation. This year, master gardener and Town of Payson Mayor Kenny Evans supervised the crop to maximize production. All proceeds go directly back into the garden which donates thousands of pounds of food to local food banks each year. To kick off the annual sale, preschool students from the Safe Haven Child Development program get first dibs picking out the biggest pumpkin they can carry for a nominal fee. The pumpkin patch is open every afternoon from 3 p.m. until dark. But hurry, last year the patch sold out by the first weekend.

Police armor up with military surplus Payson collects M16s, armored trucks, bayonets worth $15 million BY

ALEXIS BECHMAN

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

Proximity is an advantage. It helps negotiators create rapport. But some have criticized the use of such vehicles, whose size and menacing appearance may actually create a great disconnect between officers and residents.

Chief Don Engler said Payson acquired the vehicle eight months ago off a military surplus site — another tool to keep officers safe. But is it overkill? Greater militarization of the police?

When a man shot two bullets out the side of his trailer on 703 E. Miller Road, the Payson Police Department responded with a military troop transport. The 15ton vehicle had a wheel well you could stand in and steel walls thick enough to withstand a mine or a rocket-propelled grenade. The PPD loaded a negotiator and several officers into the beige beast. They drove up within earshot of the man so a negotiator could talk him out peacefully.

Rates could rise

Engler dismisses such suggestions. He says the department must prepare for national threats like greater drug violence, suicidal subjects with weapons and the threat of school shooters. That requires equipping officers with training and gear to respond appropriately. “A lot of our training is consistent with what is done statewide and is applicable to what we are seeing in the community,” he said. “We have to be prepared for what may occur.” Since the early 1990s, Payson and other agencies around the state and country have been arming officers and stocking facilities with used military equipment — everything from computer monitors and ice machines to M-16s, bayonets and armored vehicles.

Planned improvements will transform the Gila County complex in Payson. The Gila County Board of Supervisors gave a thumbs up — if not full, formal approval — to Public Works Director Steve Stratton’s plans to remodel and expand the recently purchased NAPA building in Payson, reassign space to just about every department operating at the complex on West Main, West Frontier and South Colcord, and do away with the modular building housing the satellite offices of the county recorder and assessor. The NAPA building will accommodate both the Superior and Justice courts, with entry from West Frontier. The sheriff’s office will THE WEATHER

offenders and providing space for the clerk of the court. “It’s a well-developed plan and it’s time to get moving on it,” District 2 Supervisor Mike Pastor said, jokingly adding he’d like it done within the next month. Marcanti said he was glad to see the remodel of the NAPA building and said he had concerns about the lack of space in the county attorney’s office at present. Next, Stratton has to plug in the costs of the work and then bring it back to the supervisors. Globe facilities

Changes continue for county facilities in Globe. The supervisors approved buying a used modular building for $482,095 to place on county property. It will be used to house the probation, finance, human resources, library district departments and personnel. It will also free the county from rent payments of about $60,000 a year. Pastor said he had lots of questions about previous land transactions still costing taxpayers money.

Grant to help homeless students BY

MICHELE NELSON

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

Payson Unified School District (PUSD) will receive $60,000 for the next three years to help homeless students prepare for college and careers after high school. The McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Sub-grant effectively dovetails with the district’s recent award of a new GEAR UP grant, which will also help those students in middle and high school graduate on time with a plan to attend college, trade school or the military. “We will establish a cohort of

displaced students in grades 7-10 and provide intensive guidance, mentoring and opportunities ... that will give them the skills needed to enter and grow into a good career,” said Susan Campbell, director of homeless services and district grant coordinator. Campbell applied in the spring of 2014. She said the grant is highly competitive, but PUSD won the grant because of need and the quality of the application. Although Superintendent Greg Wyman did not officially start at PUSD until July 1, he and CampSee Schools, page 2A

also be expanded and remodeled to create a secure point of transfer for prisoners, both from law enforcement vehicles to the jail and from the jail to the courts. This will also allow expansion for GCSO dispatch. With the courts moved into the NAPA building, adult probation will move into the space currently used by the courts and the county attorney staff can spread out on the second floor of the county building closest to South Colcord. The satellite offices of the county recorder and assessor move to the county building closest to the Beeline. Once the assessor and recorder staff move, crews will take down the modular building to expand the parking. “I have been really concerned about the movement of prisoners (in Payson) and this really addresses that,” said District 1 Supervisor Tommie Martin. District 3 Supervisor John Marcanti asked how much added space the changes will give the Payson complex. Stratton said the changes will add 6,000 square feet. Planners have not yet finalized some issues dealing with separation of adult and juvenile

with the average water user’s bill (using some 5,000 gallons a month) increasing from $37.88 a month to $56.54 by 2017, an overall 50 percent increase. The first $2 increase will take effect in January if the council approves the new rate structure. Rates would increase a little every year until 2017. The council will hold a Nov. 6 hearing where residents can weigh in. The council Thursday night only adopted a notice of intent, but did not agree to any fees. Town Attorney Tim Wright said the council could also decide to adopt a lower rate or no rate increase at all. Even if

The Payson Town Council took the first step toward raising water rates Thursday night after a consultant said the town will need to increase rates by 50 percent to finish the C.C. Cragin pipeline. Dan Jackson, with Economists.com, the town’s water rate consultants for the last 10 years, said he doesn’t think the town can secure the $49 million in long-term loans to finish the pipeline from the Blue Ridge Reservoir by 2017 if the town does not raise its rates. Jackson presented a plan that gradually raises water rates for the next four years,

PES a bright spot on test scores BY

MICHELE NELSON

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

Payson Elementary School Stanford 10

The students at Payson Elementary School (PES) scored higher in math, while holding steady in language scores this past year on the Stanford 10 test. “(Test scores) have pretty much stayed the same in the last three years,” said Brenda Case, director of student achievement. Unlike the higher grades, only second-grade students take the reading, language and math test. Because it’s not the AIMS (Arizona Instrument to Measure Standards) test, the Stanford 10 scores are compared nationally.

State Scores % Passing 52

PES Scores % Passing 53

Reading – 2nd grade

Writing/Language – 2nd grade

Math – 2nd grade

“I’m very proud of PES,” said Case. “They are six points away from an A (and) in a year with a new administrator, with new fullday kindergarten, they did a

spectacular job.” Compared to the scores of Arizona second-grade students, PES students outranked them in math and language, while scoring on par in reading.

Unlike the AIMS test, the Stanford 10 tests students more comprehensively. Case said PES missed qualifying as an A school by six points. The Legislature has passed legislation that requires Arizona school districts to guarantee third-grade students read at grade level or those students must repeat third grade. That puts immense pressure on PES staff, but they have risen to the occasion. Last year, only one thirdgrade student in the district scored “falls far below” on the AIMS reading test.

so much — and continues to do so — that they are chapped, he said. His doctor said he didn’t need to call again unless he developed a fever. Mann was asked what he and his doctor felt were the odds he’d been exposed to Ebola on a scale of one to 10 scale. “A ‘one,’” Mann said. Since he has no symptoms or exposure, he and his doctor did not need to report the trip to the Gila County Health Department. Should he show symptoms, his doctor must make a formal report to authorities. Even then, authorities would likely tell Mann to do what he has done — self-quarantine. If he tested positive for the disease, he’d be hospitalized in isolation. Mann said they have about a three-week supply of food, but can always order more from Amazon. Nonetheless, Mann said his family has already received hateful email — and the rumormongering post was only made Oct. 2. On Mann’s blog, gospelmann.wordpress.com, Sheree detailed their many precautions. “... in order to reassure you that we have taken every possible safety precaution … here are the top 10 ways that we have protected America from Ebola ... (in the fashion of David Letterman’s Top 10 list, from 10 to 1): “10 – Allen took hospital-grade disinfecting tablets.

“9 – Allen took much, but brought back little. Literally. Not even the clothes on his back ... I vacuum-sealed his clothes for the trip home ... I made an “outfit brick,” including shoes and a belt. It was a funny looking package, but no Liberian air ever entered that little brick! When he got off the plane from Liberia in Brussels, Belgium, he showered. Yes — showered, at the airport. The “outfit brick” had shampoo and soap included. He put on the clothes that had never been opened in Liberia and he sealed and disposed of the clothing he was wearing. He also wiped down everything he touched on the airplanes, before and after he was seated. “8 – Anything that entered his mouth was new or sanitized. “7 – He didn’t touch anybody. Truly ... No handshakes. No hugs. Nothing. On the rare occasion that a child touched him, he immediately washed his hands ... “6 – We purchased extra travel insurance that guaranteed his evacuation in the event that he got sick while in Liberia. “5 – When Allen arrived in Phoenix, we placed his small amount of luggage and electronics in plastic bags before putting them into the Suburban. When we got home, he showered again. The next morning I spent hours sanitizing every single item in every single bag. “4 – There were a few items that couldn’t be cleaned with bleach or alcohol, like his teaching

notebook and the Liberian newspaper that had an article about (and picture of) my husband! So I cooked it. In the oven. “3 – I made an Ebola symptoms sheet. It has a place for a check mark under any Ebola symptoms he might have for the next 21 days. So far he has zero. None. I am also recording his temperature twice daily. “2 – We made arrangements with our doctor here in Payson for the 21 days following the trip. The doctor agreed to take our call on his cell phone, night or day. “And the No. 1 way we have taken precautions to guard others against this disease is to voluntarily subject ourselves to quarantine. Let me assure you that Allen feels FINE. I feel fine, and our children are all still healthy. The quarantine is to safeguard others and to let them know that we care and we are very serious about protect-

ing them. I roped off our property and put up quarantine signs. I’ll be honest — we have sacrificed some things to do this, things we were really looking forward to doing and places we wanted to go. Our kids have sacrificed as well! They cannot play with friends, go to youth group activities, or even go across the street!” If all goes according to plan, Mann intends to return to Africa for missionary work in Kenya at the end of October. The mission

The Mann family members are missionaries with CrossWay International. They work to share the Gospel of Grace and serve the Body of Christ. The focus is on opening hearts for the Gospel, sharing the Gospel, and training others to share the Gospel. The team includes U.S. based missionaries and national co-workers.

DAR celebrates Constitution Recently members of the Mogollon Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution held an event at the Payson Public Library for Constitution Week. Sept. 17, 2014 marked the 225th anniversary of the drafting of the Constitution of the United States of America by the Constitutional Convention. Constitution Week was initiated by the Daughters of the American Revolution. This celebration began in 1955 when the DAR petitioned Congress to set aside

Sept. 17-23 annually to be dedicated for the observance of Constitution Week. This was set into public law in 1956 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Any woman 18 years or older who can prove lineal, bloodline descent from an ancestor who aided in achieving American independence is eligible to join the DAR. If interested in joining, contact the local chapter at (928) 474-3960 or (928) 472-9752.

bell worked together to apply for the grant. “Twenty-two percent of students qualify as ... chronically homeless,” Wyman told the board at its Sept. 8 meeting, “so Susan came to me and asked if we could write a grant. We wanted to make a difference (so) we wrote this grant very similarly to the GEAR UP grant.” Students are considered “homeless” if they don’t live with their parents at a stable address. Some have no homes, but most live with a shifting lineup of family and friends. Wyman said with the GEAR UP grant starting again in January, he hopes the McKinney-

Vento grant will free up time for the GEAR UP coordinator to give students more time and attention. “We have two people working with two different groups of kids,” Wyman said to the board. The McKinney-Vento Act defines homeless children as: -- Children sharing housing due to economic hardship or loss of housing. -- Children living in motels, hotels, trailer parks, or campgrounds due to lack of alternative accommodations. -- Children living in emergency or transitional shelters.

OPINION

OURVIEW

LOOKBACK • Oct. 4, 1937: Legendary blues singer Bessie Smith is buried near Philadelphia. Smith was killed a few days earlier when the old Packard she was driving hit a parked truck near Coahoma, Miss. In 1923, Smith had released her first record, “Down-Hearted Blues.” • Oct. 2, 1950: “Peanuts,” the comic strip created by Charles M. Schulz, was published for the first time in seven newspapers. • Oct. 1, 1968: “Night of the Living Dead” premiered in Pittsburgh, Pa. • Oct. 3, 1981: A hunger strike by Irish nationalists at the Maze Prison in Belfast in Northern Ireland is called off after seven months and 10 deaths. In the aftermath of the strike, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher agreed to give in to several of the protesters’ demands, including the right to wear civilian clothing. • Oct. 5, 1990: “Henry & June,” starring Uma Thurman, Fred Ward and Maria de Medeiros, opens in theaters as the first film with an NC-17 rating. A month earlier, the Motion Picture Association of America had debuted NC-17 (No One Under 17 Admitted) as a replacement for the X rating.

Protect or intimidate? Could the Payson Police Department go down the slippery slope from “protecting and serving” to “dominating and intimidating?” It’s a question more and more people ask as local police departments participate in the 1033 program and fill their equipment needs with military surplus. Imagine sitting on the front porch sipping lemonade when the 16-ton, steel-sided, bomb-proof, mine-resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle now owned by Payson PD lumbers down the road. It’s imposing. It’s massive. It’s intimidating. Makes a person wonder if the town’s been invaded. Although the majority of the military surplus items the Payson PD obtained through the federal 1033 program have a benign nature, the bayonets, assault riffles and armored vehicle have a distinctly militaristic feel. Assault rifles invoke war. And the armored personnel transporter puts a layer of bomb strength metal walls between the people of Rim Country and our police department. Could using military style weapons turn a cop on his beat, considered a member of the community, into a soldier instead? Repeated studies have shown that community policing built on relationships works much better than militarizing the police force. But the hyper military equipment and training cannot help but affect that relationship between the police and the community. In the Federalist Papers, the Founding Fathers worried about standing armies and the devolution from a democracy into a police state — or the all-powerful monarchs who controlled Europe at that time. In the U.S., local police departments long relied on their relationships within the community to establish law and order, but images from Ferguson, Missouri looked more like pictures from Iraq and Afghanistan. The images so affected people they prompted a Senate hearing on the government’s policy of providing military gear to local police. Let’s hope the Payson police continue to think of themselves as community members and protectors — despite the trappings of an occupying army.

County gets it right This week’s Gila County Board of Supervisors meeting brought a wonderful surprise: A little balance and fair play. The board of supervisors have long favored south county, but this week they approved by unanimous votes two projects important to north county. Please note, only Gila County Supervisor Tommie Martin’s district lies entirely in the north. Supervisor John Marcanti’s district includes Star Valley and ought to operate as a swing district, but Marcanti’s from Globe and beholden mostly to Globe voters. Supervisor Mike Pastor’s district also relies heavily on votes from Globe and Miami, although he also represents Tonto Basin. As a consequence, although Northern Gila County provides about two-thirds of the county’s local tax revenue and about 55 percent of its voters — projects up north have long gotten short shrift. But not this week. The board responded with enthusiasm to a master plan to significantly upgrade the cramped, unsafe court facilities in Payson as well as many crucial county offices — including the ridiculously small quarters for the county prosecutors and the dangerously open and uncontrolled connection between the jail and the courtrooms. The long-overdue overhaul of the county facilities here will not only provide space for county workers to do their jobs — it will increase the security and efficiency of the tiny court facilities. That alone would qualify as a good week’s work for the board in north county. But there’s more. The board of supervisors also approved a $26,000 economic development grant for Star Valley to create an adequate backup water supply, the latest step in its effort to upgrade and modernized the system it bought from Brooke Utilities. Granted, the project looks more like infrastructure than economic development — but the supervisors’ decision to double the staff recommendation demonstrates a welcome effort to redress the shamefully lopsided spending disparities between north and south. We’ve been quick enough to point out the discrepancies in the past. But this time we’re happy to compliment the board on trying now to better the balance between north and south.

positions For overrides, the Legislature also put a specific time limit on the length of the override. For an M&O override the length of time was seven years and the percentage of the increase was 10 percent of the budget. Recently the Legislature made a change that now allows a school district to increase their budget by 15 percent. For an M&O override the district will receive the full amount for four years and then, if the override is not renewed by the voters, the district must reduce the M&O override budget by a third for three consecutive years. For Payson Unified School District the community supported a 10 percent increase to the budget in 2010. The decision by the governing board for the upcoming election was to maintain the current override at 10 percent and not increase to the 15 percent. Why can’t a school district just live within their budgets? School districts do live within their budgets. In the state of Arizona, school districts cannot exceed the budget limit established by the formula. School districts receive an annual financial audit, completed by an outside firm, to ensure compliance with this legal requirement. Legally a school district cannot exceed the budget limit. The decision regarding overrides is really about local control. The Legislature recognized that many communities wanted more in their schools than was offered through the state budgeting process. The provision in the law that allows for a school district to call for an override is all about local control. The local taxpayers get to decide if they want additional money in the budget.

Missing a great love EDITOR: I recently lost “The Great Love of My Life” of the past 62 years, 59 of which were as my wife. Our first date was on New Year’s Eve 1952 at the Untied States Armed Forces’ 700 Club in Munich, Germany. My brain keeps telling me that because of the horrible nature of her affliction, it is a blessing that she is no longer suffering, but my poor broken heart has difficulty finding total solace in that conclusion. Otis Trimble

Little has agenda for office EDITOR: I attended the recent Tea Party meeting and I was a bit unnerved to hear Doug Little say that he wanted to be an “activist” commissioner if elected. The problem with that is that he admits he’s going in with a pre-set agenda of some sort. Which may explain why there was so much dark money poured into the primary race in support of him. Former state lawmaker Lucy Mason said she

considers allegiance to outside interests goes against the nature of the Corporation Commission. “The position is judicial by nature. You have to come in with a neutral position, and learn from there ... from the hearings,” she said. That’s what I would have liked to have heard from Doug Little, or any candidate for that matter. His role, if elected as commissioner, is to weigh the evidence of each case “impartially” and it doesn’t sound like that’s what we’ll get from Doug Little. Kathie Reidhead

Support override and those who support it EDITOR: Please vote for the school district override. The schools in Payson desperately need this additional revenue. The deep cuts made by the Arizona State Legislature have had a crippling effect on our children’s education. Without the override the schools will not be able to function. Also, please vote for Sheila DeSchaaf and Angie Prock for the school board. They are both young professional women who care greatly for the education of all children in Payson. They

support the override. The other candidate does not! Like Shirley Dye, Darlene Younker apparently has a disdain for the poor and middle income people of Payson who want a quality education for their children. Judith L. Hunter

We need educated people in the Legislature EDITOR: For years state legislator Brenda Barton has opposed state funding for preschool education because she believes preschool cannot make a difference. Basing legislation and funding upon an uneducated opinion is dangerous for the children of our communities. It flies in the face of all research, which demonstrates the dramatic influence of preschool education on later educational achievement and job attainment. We need educated people in the Legislature, representatives who will do what is right for our children. That is why this November Lanny Morrison gets my vote for the Arizona House of Representatives from my region. Frances Schwartz

County gives Star Valley money for well Project will provide backup for town’s primary water source BY

TERESA MCQUERREY

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

The Town of Star Valley won an award of $26,329 from the Gila County Board of Supervisors this week. The money will improve a well on the property of the B. Diane McDaniel Community Park to create a backup to the Knolls well, which is the primary source for the town’s water system serving the south side of East Highway 260. The money comes from the county’s economic development funds. County manager Don McDaniel recommended the supervisors give Star Valley only $10,000 for the project. District 3 Supervisor John Marcanti, who represents the area,

pushed for the higher amount, with the support of District 1 Supervisor Tommie Martin. District 2 Supervisor Mike Pastor, who is also chairman of the board, supported the lower amount. He said the project sounded more like infrastructure development than economic development. Marcanti said Star Valley only has two day’s worth of storage capacity for its existing wells and said, “I feel we should go ahead and approve the full request.” Marcanti provided the breakdown on the $26,239 project including: well rehabilitation, $1,810; new pump, wire and pipe, $2,500; ADEQ New Source Water test, $2,769; connection plumbing and seal, $4,250; establish electricity, $15,000. In Star Valley’s documentation, provided to the supervisors, town officials said, “In the water business, mechanical failures are expected occurrences … An average of 90 percent of possible mechanical issues can be solved within 3 to 5 business days; however, holidays, specialty order parts and high peak usage can put a larger demand on the

Firefighters put a fire out in a pickup truck early Wednesday morning. It is still unclear what sparked the blaze around 5:30 a.m. on West Evergreen Circle. The truck was loaded down with personal effects since the owners were moving into the home, said Payson Fire Battalion Chief Jim Rasmussen. One owner was already at work when the fire started and the other was sleeping inside the home. A passerby reported the fire and police had to wake the owner. Outside, the owner found the truck engulfed in flames along with all their belongings. A dozen firefighters put the fire out “pretty rapidly” using water from the truck, keeping it from spreading to any structures. The truck is a total loss, Rasmussen said.

well system as well as lengthen down time. “A back-up well producing an average of 20 gpm can buy 15 days of down time before water restrictions would be implemented. “Therefore the back-up well buys us the time we need to fix Knolls well and get it back online.” The well project is the first phase of a three-phase improvement project for the park. Pastor said he had a concern about Star Valley coming back to the supervisors for money to complete the other two phases. In the end, Pastor reluctantly voted for the full award of $26,239 for the well project.

Dissecting the lines that separate us PHS to present teen angst classic ‘The Outsiders’ BY

MICHELE NELSON

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

“The Outsiders” play has sat on a shelf in the Payson High School (PHS) theatre department until just the right cast came along. This year, the wait is over. A strong cast, including Steven Martinez as lead character Pony Boy and Elle LeBlanc as Cherry, carries this play with a depth of understanding and emotion that will remind the audience of the teenage angst so many suffer during high school. Directed by PHS senior Newman Becker, “The Outsiders” examines the social separation cliques cause.

In “The Outsiders,” author S.E. Hinton labeled the two groups separated by socio-economics the Greasers and Socs (pronounced sosh-ez short for socials). By the first act, the two groups establish a deep divide, but Becker said the play ends up in redemption and hope. “No matter what your background, you can always find good in people,” he said. The senior said he focused his directing on the characters. “I wanted you to feel as if you could talk to them,” said Newman. That takes a special type of actor and lead character Martinez captures the vulnerability and toughness of Pony Boy. LeBlanc plays a strong juxtaposition to Martinez with understanding and clarity as a Soc named Cherry. Yet Martinez could not carry

the play by himself. Backing him are brothers Cody and Cameron Rislund playing Pony Boy’s brothers Sodapop and Darry. David Friday, Tony Gentless, Robert Schnepp and Larissa Popke play Pony Boy’s gang, the Greasers. Emily Blakley, Emmerson Carr and Daniel Walling play the Socs in Cherry’s group. Zoia Brouwer, Kiki York, Newman Becker, Hailey Hamblen, Naomi Cobos and Ali Cambier play supporting roles.

Safeway awards grant to Payson DECA Student business club gains real-world insight BY

JOE PARONE, PHS DECA ADVISOR

SPECIAL TO THE ROUNDUP

Payson High School’s award-winning student business club has received a $2,500 grant from The Safeway Foundation, local Safeway Manager Dan Dillon and other store employees. This and other Safeway grants have helped the students gain real world educational opportunities in marketing, management and entrepreneurship. Last year, students went behind the scenes learning from successful businesses, such as the Talking Stick Resort, the

Arizona Diamondbacks spring training facility and the Phoenix Coyotes. This year, DECA plans to tour the Mazatzal Hotel and Casino, Jobing.com Arena, ASU Sports Marketing Conference and attend a possible workshop by Piper Jaffray that includes a behind-the-scenes tour of Fashion Square Mall to illustrate real-world business and marketing. Safeway is one of DECA’s key sponsors through both grants and scholarships and tours of the local operations. Safeway executives have also served on the National Advisory Board and Executive Committee since 1999. Together Safeway and DECA have worked to develop the next generation’s workforce in food retailing and support classroom teaching, student achievement — and overall college and career readiness. Together they demonstrate the

importance of giving back to local communities by sponsoring the Community Service Project and the Escrip fundraising program. Furthermore, Safeway values DECA members and believes they would be outstanding candidates for various positions. DECA prepares emerging leaders and entrepreneurs in marketing, finance, hospitality and management in high schools and colleges around the globe. Not only does DECA offer educational opportunities, participants who compete on a state level and score high will be given the opportunity to attend the ICDC (International Career Development Conference). Last year, six students from Payson attended ICDC in Atlanta, Ga. after placing as finalists. Students were accompanied by their teacher, Joe Parone, who has recently received an Arizona Marketing Teacher of the Year award.

Sales tax revenue flat; building permits up BY

ALEXIS BECHMAN

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

The latest financial report shows the Rim Country economy is picking up speed in some areas and sputtering out in others, according to the town’s monthly tracking report for August. Local sales tax revenue dropped $8,500 over the same time last year. The largest revenue source for the town, sales tax comes from spending of residents and visitors and pays for town services like police and fire. Vehicle license tax revenue dropped $36,700 over last fiscal year, but those payments come from the state and are usually erratic, according to Hope Cribb, finance manager. In other revenue categories, the town is fairing better. Urban revenue sharing (shared income tax) is up $24,000 over last year. Stateshared sales tax rose $2,100;

plan review by $7,100; building permits, up $14,400 and Highway User Revenue Fund, up $10,100 over last year. However, the HURF fund is not where the town budgeted. Year-to-date revenue is $133,000 and the town planned for it to be at $372,100 Construction permit revenue jumped significantly, with permits in August double last year. Right-of-way permits, fire code reviews, inspections and engineering reviews are also all up. Those figures indicate that not only has construction picked up, but town planners are reviewing a rush of proposals for new projects. Overall, year-to-date revenues in the general fund sit at $1.38 million, but the town had expected to take in $2 million. That total may include hoped for grants the town hasn’t actually received. As a result, the town has so far spent more than it has taken in by about $308,700. Cribb explained that the rea-

son several funds are showing a negative balance include: • The Gila County Library District has not sent funding for the library, showing a $44,500 negative balance. • The Payson Event Center has a $21,500 negative balance because money from the bed tax fund will cover any deficit at the end of the year. Of note, the town in July and August, paid the annual membership to the Arizona Cities and Towns League, made principal payments on WIFA and GO Bonds, bought computer equipment, made repairs to the community development building, paid Game and Fish for fish stocking and made repairs to water lines. The town also bought a side-by-side ATV, two trailers and made a down payment on a new lawn mower. Cribb said while some departments are over budget, it is because they paid annual bills in advance and those funds should level off.

It’s been more than a year since Payson had a full-time animal control officer and while things haven’t gone to the dogs yet, everyone is relieved to see a replacement in place. Since former animal control officer Don Tanner left for health reasons, dealing with barking, loose and aggressive dog calls has fallen on the shoulders of police officers. “The officers are very, very glad to see him start,” said Police Chief Don Engler. Mark Scott is excited for his new career and Wednesday marked his first time alone on the job since Engler hired him Sept. 15. With his signature suspenders, Scott is a familiar face around the community. He has run a remodeling business for more than six years and once operated a hot dog stand at Ace

ing for something that was not quite as physically demanding,” he said rubbing his knees. An animal lover, Scott said he has cared for pets all his life,

including dogs, cats and even a raccoon. He also operated a rehabilitation center for birds in Colorado. Blessed with a mountain man’s stature, Scott said aggressive dogs don’t intimate him and dogs seem to sense this and follow his commands — at least so far. But dealing with animals is just half of the job. Animal calls often involve feuding neighbors, including some that have reached their breaking point with barking mutts. Scott said he has the experience to deal with that too. Many of Scott’s former careers have centered on management, running clothing and grocery stores and a lumber yard — roles that helped him learn how to diffuse situations. With Scott on the job fulltime, Engler said residents should see a quicker response time to their animal calls. To reach Scott, contact dispatch.

Gerald James “Jocko” Trekas, 89, beloved husband, father, grandfather, g r e a t - g r a n d f a t h e r, World War II veteran and Christian, entered into rest Sept. 23, 2014 in Gilbert, Ariz., surrounded by his loving family. He was born March 9, 1925 in Gladstone, Mich. to Stephan Trekas and Clara Patrine Trekas. He moved West, and after many years of service, he retired from the Snowflake Paper Mill in Snowflake, Ariz., and thereafter settling in Deer Creek Village, a small community south of Payson, Ariz. A tail-gunner on an aircraft in the United States Navy, Gerald served and defended our country during World War II, completing countless successful missions while placing himself in danger. Inspired and admiring the works of Henry David Thoreau and Mahatma Gandhi, to name a couple, Gerald devoted his life to perfecting the art of “living simple” — a way of life he lived by example and with great success. The wealth of a man should not be measured by the material riches accrued in his life, he once said, but by the example of a life lived. He did not possess many material things, only items that had meaning and purpose to him. Gerald indeed lived a life

PAYSON ROUNDUP LOCAL FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2014

Payson fields military gear From page 1A When Payson’s Special Response Team (SRT), or SWAT, rolls out in full camouflage garb, they resemble a military team. They do train for military precision, but they aren’t fighting terrorists. When Congress enacted the National Defense Authorization Act in 1990, the nation was fighting a war on drugs. Referred to as the 1033 program, it allowed the Department of Defense to unload property no longer needed, including small arms and ammunition. At about the same time, Payson police set up a SWAT to serve search warrants. Previously, the chief had simply gathered up any available officers to serve warrants. The work was dangerous and the PPD had some “significant close calls,” said Engler. On one drug-related search, the residents were going for their guns as officers broke down the door, he said. “That made us reconsider that we did have a need for something higher level,” he said. “We needed to develop a group that was training and worked together on a regular basis that was on another

level to ensure officer safety.” Det. Matt Van Camp joined the SRT team in 1998 and is currently the team leader. New to the force at the time, Van Camp said, “I looked at it as a group of highly trained guys that was respected by the department, by us younger officers and when you look at a group of people that move and act as one and is highly respected not just by our agency but by outside agencies, you want to be a part of that.” The group is equipped with thicker bullet-proof vests, helmets, and assault rifles and acquired much of the equipment through the 1033 program. In August, President Obama ordered a comprehensive review of the 1033 program to determine whether agencies are receiving sufficient training and guidance and whether the federal government is auditing the use of the equipment sufficiently. After it was disclosed Arizona State University had obtained M16 assault rifles through the program, the school announced it was returning them and replacing them with newer weapons, according to the Arizona Republic.

The 34 M-16s PPD received in 2006 and 2008 originally were automatic, but were converted to semi-automatic. Officers now carry those weapons in their patrol vehicles every day. Engler said all of the officers have the appropriate training to

carry such weapons. And all of the gear that SRT members wear, which resembles that of a soldier, serves a purpose. “The goal is to give officers a little bit more of an upper hand. Allow them to have a heavier protective vest, allow them to have a helmet,” Engler said. “The weaponry we started the team with back in those days was very minimal — handguns, shotguns, those kinds of things. We have been able to improve some of our capabilities.” And the training has changed too. All officers are trained for an active shooter, such as someone opening fire at a school, Van Camp said. “It is one of those things you hope you never have to use,” Engler said. While much of the equipment comes from the surplus program, Engler is quick to point out the PPD does not get preferential treatment because Van Camp is the state coordinator for the 1033 program. “Van Camp is modest about this. If another agency has requested something we have too, he will send it on to them so it is fair and equitable and there is no perception that we take because of his position.” Van Camp took on the state coordinator role in 2008. At the time, the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office no longer wanted to run the program. When no one stepped up to take the role, Engler worried the program would go away. Local volunteer Marie Davis

works five hours every day on the program, fielding requests, interacting with agencies and assisting them with inventory control and training, Van Camp said. Usually, agencies only have to cover the cost of the shipping for the equipment. Van Camp estimates the PPD has received between $10 and $15 million worth of equipment. But that total reflects the value of the equipment when it was new. Equipment includes the PPD’s command vehicle, which resembles a white bread delivery van, small blue pickup trucks, which volunteers use, five refrigerators to store evidence, a new truck for the animal control officer and Engler’s vehicle. Van Camp says 95 percent of all equipment state agencies receive through the program are commer-

cial, off-the-shelf products that anyone could buy, like a generator. Weapons, armored trucks and bulletproof vests accounts for less than 5 percent. One of the newest items distributed to local Department of Public Safety officers was personal medical first aid kits. Every officer now carries the kits in their vehicle and SRT members carry it on them. The department received the kits after DPS officer Seth Meeske was shot on a traffic stop south of town. If Meeske had a kit, he could have applied a tourniquet. An Arizona Homeland Security medic trained the officers on using the kits for four hours. “It is one of those things, kind of like insurance, having it when you really need it is really important,” Engler said. As for the 10 bayonets the department received through the program, Engler said those are used strictly as knives and are not mounted to weapons. He said SRT members carry them to cut brush or pry open a door or window. And when residents see SRT members out serving warrants or working a call for a barricaded subject, the response is almost always positive, Engler said. “We find the community to be very receptive; they want us to protect our officers because they know that is a hazardous environment that they are working in.”

From page 1A the council passes the plan Jackson presented, later grants or additional money earmarked for the C.C. Cragin project, could reduce or eliminate increases. For instance, a federal water settlement with the Tonto Apache Tribe could provide millions for pipeline construction — so could finalizing a deal to build a university in Payson. The town still has a $6,500-per-house water impact fee, which could generate more money if the building industry recovers. The town has already spent about $15 million on Cragin, which Mayor Kenny Evans and Jackson are calling a “forever” water source. Jackson and Evans said Payson is one of the few communities that has an opportunity to secure its future water needs at an affordable cost. Evans said many cities and towns across the state not only don’t know how they will pay for

The American Water Works Association predicts water and waste water rates will triple in the next 15 years with systems getting older and the cost to operate them ever increasing.

While many communities are subsidizing water rates by using money from the general fund, Jackson recommended Payson raise rates to complete the pipeline. If all goes as planned, the first rate bump would go into effect Dec. 17 with homeowners seeing the first increase on their bill in February.

KEITH MORRIS

Halfway through the football schedule and Payson’s Longhorns find themselves exactly where they were a year ago: 3-2 heading into the grueling five-game Section 5 season. PHS limped to a 1-4 record in the second half last fall but still managed to slip into the Division 4 playoffs. They hope to do better this time around. And I like their chances of doing just that. Payson stands at No. 15 in the power rankings that seed the Division 4 state tournament field. The top 16 teams qualify for the postseason. All four of the Longhorns’ section losses a year ago were routs. They didn’t come close to beating anyone, other than Globe, a team everybody beat up on. Payson features a much more explosive offense this season and should score points against the four powerhouses in the section, beginning with Fountain Hills, the Longhorns’ homecoming opponent tonight at 7. Defenses basically keyed on containing tailback Wyatt Chapman a year ago, then blitzed the quarterback when the Longhorns fell behind by large margins, forcing them to the air. This year, quarterback Chaz Davis gives them another dynamic runner to focus on. Chapman and Davis have spearheaded a strong rushing attack. Through the first four games (Payson didn’t submit statistics for the St. Johns game), Chapman ran 63 times for 533 yards (8.5 avg.) and Davis 55 times for 522 yards (9.5 avg.) Davis also completed 33 of 59 passes (56 percent) for 548 yards, nine touchdowns and three interceptions. His main targets have been Matt Davis (4 TD catches) and Ruben Estrada, another valuable weapon with two receiving TDs and two more via the ground.

Keith Morris/Roundup

Quarterback Chaz Davis (18) turns upfield as tailback Wyatt Chapman looks for a defender to block during Payson’s season-opening game at Wickenburg on Aug. 29. The two juniors have spearheaded a Longhorn rushing attack that defenses have had difficulty containing this season. But the PHS defense represents the key to the Longhorns’ chances the rest of the way. Payson allows too many points to make the team a legitimate title contender. So that must change. The Longhorns are averaging 33.6 points on offense and allowing 28.0. Payson surrendered a whopping 590 rushing yards and 46 points against Parker three weeks ago. The Broncs haven’t scored more than 33 points in any of their four other games. PHS allowed 35 points

to a Wickenburg team that averaged 18 points in going 0-3 the last three weeks. The Wranglers lost 34-21 at Fountain Hills last week to fall to 2-3. That win snapped a two-game losing streak for the Falcons (3-2), who fell 25-22 to unbeaten Coolidge before Estrella Foothills whipped them 427 in Goodyear. You can bet the Longhorns would love nothing better than to avenge last season’s humiliating 55-14 thumping Fountain Hills put on them down south.

They have the offense to do just that. If they play the kind of defense that’s helped them win two in a row, they may just do that. Of course, they’ll also need to correct a penalty problem that’s plagued them all season. The Horns are averaging 9.8 penalties for 99 yards per game. Of their 284 plays from scrimmage, the Falcons have run the ball 157 times (55 percent) and passed it 127 times (45 percent). Senior Luke McDermott has rushed a team-leading 55 times for 149 yards (2.7 yards per carry) and a team-high five touchdowns, but senior Brady Hartman leads the running game with 221 yards on 40 carries (5.5 avg.) and senior Quentin Donahue has 136 yards on 36 totes (3.8), junior Taz Heairet 85 yards on eight runs (10.6) and senior Jacob DeGroote 50 yards on six tries (8.3). McDermott has completed 84 of 124 passes (68 percent) for 1,115 yards and seven touchdowns, but has also thrown seven interceptions. Senior Sam Stoor has 26 receptions for 429 yards (16.5 avg.) and Hartman has 23 catches for 270 yards (11.7), DeGroote 15 for 168 (11.2) and 6-foot-5 senior Hank Allsop 11 for 162 (14.7).

Mother Nature the real monster in Mogollon 100

A woman runs along the rainsoaked trail during this year’s Mogollon Monster 100.

As if it wasn’t enough of a beast already, the Mogollon Monster 100 featured a monstrous visit from Mother Nature this year that made it simply impossible to battle. Lightning, rain and fears of flash flooding, led to the cancellation of one of the most difficult 100-mile footraces in the country after runners completed just 51 of its 106-mile distance last weekend. The third running of the race started at the Pine Trailhead on Saturday with a convoluted course following the Highline Trail along the Mogollon Rim from Pine to Christopher Creek and back, with 23,000 feet of elevation change. The course features only 1.5 miles of pavement, with 22 miles of forest roads and 82.5 miles of steep, very rocky, over-grown and severely eroded mountain trails. The men’s record is 21 hours and 34 minutes and the women’s record 23 hours and 4 minutes on what is considered one of the three most difficult 100-mile races

in the country. All but one of the 72 runners who started the race reached the 51-mile mark by 5 a.m. Sunday. Ham radio opera-

tors, without whom the event could not be held, accounted for all of the runners along the course.

The cancellation disappointed the runners in the field of 70 Americans and two foreigners, who needed to complete it to qual-

ify for the lottery for the Hardrock 100 in Colorado. Martin Szekeresh submitted the information in this story.

food and beverage and comes to us from Los Abrigados Resort and Spa in Sedona. One of the hard-working youngsters down at the Landmark this summer was Jordan Poffenberger from Gilbert. This young man studies sustainability at Arizona State University. His strengths are his hustle and good-natured attitude. Maybe some of the girls like the looks of him, as well. His brother, Kyle, works the kitchen and is Samone’s brother-in-law. That makes Jordan one of the family. You left that ol’ steer in the middle of that manzanita thicket. He’ll be there in the morning, no doubt. Now you’ve had some hot beans and your horse is picketed. You stretch out your stirrups on the ground and sit sideways on the saddle to cut away a leather strip the width of your thumb off the fender. You hate to cut up your saddle. You could wait another day ’til you get back in. What an Arizona cowboy I am, you’re thinking — letting that ol’ steer git me in that predicament. Once the fire was stirred and a couple more dead manzanita branches thrown on there was light enough to finish your chore. You carefully cut the strap to length and start on the slit near each end. It was gettin’ dark and you was worried that he might hook your horse before you got a loop on him. How could you not see that spear of a branch in that manzanita that could have gutted your mount or gored your foot right through your boot? You think, yes, I was lucky it just severed the leather strap on my spur. — From the western novel yet unwritten. … and that’s another week in the Creek.

Before we forget, Friday, Oct. 17 is the date set for the John Matus memorial, which will be held at Creekside Restaurant. John and his wife Olive had the restaurant for 37 years. Olive said the date would have been their 44th wedding anniversary. Look for the time in next week’s reminder. Speaking of Creekside, all the comments from the locals have been, “Wow!” Mike Jelevnic, with help from Dave Elston, put a long-overdue paint job on the historic restaurant. Dave did most of the spray work while Mike climbed the ladder to paint the trim green. Then, we understand Keith Mead and Rhonda have been around to do a bit of landscape upkeep.

Christopher Creek, AZ - “A River Runs Through It” Rolling thunder, sharp cracks of lightning and right at four inches of rain highlighted last weekend leaving the creek flowing stronger than it has since last November when we had five inches out of one storm. By early Sunday we were living up to the title of the movie. What a finale to the 2014 monsoon season, although this rain event was the product of a huge storm out of ANOTHER WEEK the Gulf of Alaska, which typifies it IN THE CREEK as a normal fall pattern rain. After a mere inch-and-a-quarter of moisture from January to the end of June, the 21 inches since then has left us just five inches from the annual average (27 inches) with three months left in the year. The upshot is that the forest is green, the air smells wonderful and the Rod Britain creek is beautiful. Of course, there were several leaky roofs. Doc and Pepper had rain dripping down on their bed Saturday night. Denny stopped by last week to report the lookout towers have closed and he looks forward to manning the Colcord LO when they open again next year. Those guys in the towers have a boring and lonely job. Maybe their only perk is the view. The fire season was quiet in this area and for that we must be thankful. The Lupus Walk in the Valley had to be canceled because of all the rain. The fundraising effort has

No matter how far I look back in my life I always see a pet. For the first 21 years of my life it was always the same pet — a small white fox terrier named Duke. I was just a couple of months old in 1932 when the worst part of the Great Depression hit Staten Island and we moved from what Mom always called “our old place” to a house on Brook Street. It was a nice house, a happy house filled with love, but the rent was just $16 a month, and even in 1932 I suspect that was not the highest rent paid in New York City. Duke and I arrived at 53 Brook Street the same day. I got parked in a carriage on the front porch, a small white fox terrier puppy got parked in a box. We both watched the big people moving furniture, and I suspect Duke understood a whole lot more about what was going on than I did. Duke was always there, and he always will be, not because YOUR TURN he was anything special as dogs go, but because he was — well — because he was Duke, our dog, as much a part of my world as the air I breathed. It wasn’t until I returned from Iceland after three years in the Air Force, looked around hap- Tom Garrett pily for Duke, didn’t see him, and was told by a very sadfaced Mom that he was “gone,” that I realized how much I had taken that little guy for granted. Up ’til that moment he had always been there, always been Duke, always been bright eyed and ready to play, and always been as certain to show up if you came home and called “Here Duke!” as the sun was to rise in the morning and set at night. I was 21 that day in 1953, fully grown and well acquainted with death, but it seemed oddly impossible that Duke could be gone. I couldn’t quite get it through my head. It was as though someone had changed the color of the sky, or the sound of rain, or the sweet scent of the lilacs in our back yard. Ah, well. Life is a learning experience, Johnny, but no one ever said it had to always be a pleasant one. Pets teach us, if we are smart enough to learn from them, and Duke was no exception. What did he teach me? Probably a lot more than I realize, but there are some things I couldn’t miss noticing even if I tried. For one thing, Duke taught me the nature of animals. He taught me that animals are not humans, and that their ways, therefore, are not human ways. We share a lot of things with them: the need for the basics of life — food, air, water, sleep, shelter — and also some things that aren’t quite as basic but are just as necessary — the ability to love, for example. But I think the most important thing I learned from Duke is that an individual is an individual, whether he or she is an individual human or an individual animal. And that’s a hard thing for some people to learn; they see a dog or a cat, or a horse or mule, or even a bird or a squirrel, and they seem to think, “... just another of the same.” Uh-uh! Animals are individual hand-crafted jewels. Try treating them all alike and you make a mistake. I learned that early in life, and it has stood me in good stead ever since. What did I learn in particular? To approach each animal in a way that let him or her figure out who and what I was before I tried getting too personal. One time in Japan I went to a major’s house with a message. His wife met me, left me in the living room, and went off to find him. There, sitting on the carpet, was the most beautiful German shepherd I had ever seen, and if you know me at all you know there was no chance on God’s earth we were not going to get acquainted. By the time the major’s wife came back I was sitting on the floor talking to the dog and scratching its ears. “Oh-h-h!” she said, sounding scared to death. “D-Don’t t-touch her. She c-can’t stand to be touched!” Right then the shepherd leaned her head over into my lap and stretched out happily on the carpet. “H-How in th-the w-world did you do that?” the major’s wife asked. I hadn’t done anything. I just said hello, stretched out a closed fist to be sniffed instead of the usual intrusive human fingers, and waited for the dog to make the first move. By the time the major came downstairs that dog and I were good buddies. Next week: It’s tough to love animals and be in the service.

Homeowners living in the northern reaches of Pine Creek Canyon, just beyond the intersection of Cedar Meadow Lane and Pine Creek Canyon Drive, dodged a deadly bullet Sept. 26 when the Pine-Strawberry Fire Department contained and extinguished a fire at 4150 Portal Dr., only feet from the entrance to Portals II. If firefighters had not controlled the blaze, it could have easily spread to the surrounding forest and possibly much of the pristine canyon and nearby homes. The house that burned was nestled among junipers, tall grass and trees that, fortunately, were not tender dry as they had been during the droughtstricken summer months. Recent rains had wetted the brush rendering it less susceptible to fire.

With this year’s monsoon season looking like it’s finally in the 2014 rearview mirror, and area temperatures falling into what most of us consider absolutely ideal, I’ve noticed quite an increase in the number of people motoring around Green Valley Park. Not in the literal sense of motorized vehicles, of course, but in the figurative sense of self-propulsion. People of all ages, colors and shapes can be seen motoring around our beautiful town park, pre-sunrise to post-sunset. Our spacious park is such a wonderful asset to our community. I’ve seen an increased number of people jogging, strolling alone and with friends, doglovers walking their pooches and moms and dads pushing their baby strollers. Some motor around the lake on their bicycles, some on scooters and others on skateboards. One of the cutest and most energetic young ladies that I’ve had the pleasure to meet on her motoring adventures around Green Valley Park’s lake is Bella Purcell. The soon-to-be 3year-old first started coming to the park this past July, about a month after her mother, Karen, and she moved to town. It was in the late afternoon one day that I first saw Bella flying down the sidewalk on the lake’s south side, leaving her mother in the dust of her high-tech, molded-plastic, multi-colored comDJ Craig photo bination Big Wheel-baby stroller racer. Young Bella Purcell is one of the many folks making the most of Green Valley Park.

CROSSWORD

Glad we didn’t get whacked by the big rains There finally is relief from all the monsoon storms that have hit our area. Thankfully, we were lucky enough to be bypassed by the worst of the storm that hit the Phoenix area. Bear Flat stats THE

There were places in our VILLAGE area where the creeks rose to make some roads impassable. One in particular was in the Bear Flat area. There is only one way out and one way in, so the status of the creek becomes of vital importance. One of the residents has taken on the task Janet of emailing everyone with Snyder conditions of the roads and how high the creek has risen. There are three crossings that have to be navigated where the water level is critical. Originally, the first crossing was barely crossable, with the second and third crossings not passable right after the last of the monsoon rains. As of Tuesday, Sept. 30, all crossings are now passable. The total rainfall for Bear Flat is telling — the rainfall amount has exceeded the average annual yearly precipitation. The total rainfall amount for the year so far is 19.94 inches. The average is 19.87 inches. The Bear Flat residents are a brave and courageous bunch of people to put up with those harsh conditions. Hellsgate Fire Department

Fire Prevention Week this year is Monday, Oct. 6 through Friday, Oct. 10. The Hellsgate Fire Department will be holding an open house on Thursday, Oct. 9 at station 21 in Star Valley. The event will start at 4 p.m. and last until 8 p.m. and feature lots of activities including a vehicle extraction exhibition, a flu and pneumonia shot station, hot dogs, T-shirts for sale, and demonstrations on fire prevention, including how to use a fire extinguisher.

Janet Snyder photo

The weekend’s storm raised the creek at Bear Flat to a hard-flowing depth enough to “register” on a makeshift gauge on the center boulder. Hellsgate personnel wish to thank Walgreens for the donation of water and Pepsi for the use of their trailer. The next fire board meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 8 in the Star Valley Hellsgate meeting room. The next Hellsgate Fireflies meeting will be held at 6 p.m., Friday, Oct. 3 in Star Valley at the Hellsgate meeting room. This is a change in time and place for this meeting. The final event that will be held by the Fireflies for the year will be a dinner at the Mazatzal Casino banquet room at 6 p.m., Friday, Oct. 17. The Fireflies’ activities will resume in April 2015. Please call Karen Carlen with an RSVP. The casino will need to know how many will be attending. Karen’s phone number is (928) 472-7438. You can leave a message also.

Birthdays

Oct. 7 is a big day for Hellsgate Fireflies president Karen Carlen. Karen travels a lot with her job, so here’s hoping she finds time to celebrate her big day. Oct. 9 will be a big day for Angie Lecher. Angie is the financial wizard for the Hellsgate Fire Department and she works hard to keep everything balanced. And she is due anytime now to become a grandmother for the first time. Congratulations! Get well wishes

Always get an adult to remove able for him. The dog’s back or chest is the dog for you.

HUMANE SOCIETY OF CENTRAL ARIZONA

If a dog scares you, avoid screaming and running away. Put your hands together, stand still, look away and completely ignore him until he loses interest in you and goes away instead. The more boring you are, the less the dog will want to interact with you. When the dog has finished sniffing and walks away from you, walk slowly away and tell an adult. If you are at someone’s house with a rambunctious dog, don’t feel embarrassed about asking an adult to put the dog away in a different room if he makes you feel uncomfortable If the dog tries to bite you, put a bag or coat between you and the dog and back away to a safe place. In the unlikely event a dog bites and you are on the floor, roll up into a ball on your knees, with your arms clasped around the back of your neck and stay as still as you can until help arrives. Remember that a dog is an animal and not a cuddly toy. Most dogs don’t like being hugged or kissed. Hugging in dog language can mean fighting and that is definitely not an expression of affection like it is in human language. Be gentle with any dog and try not to engage in rough play.

I am learning to relax but am still a little tense at feeding time. I am otherwise very gentle, so older kids that can respect my space will be fine. I enjoy the company of other dogs and have already made a lot of friends at the shelter! I have a relaxed, easygoing style that puts most dogs at ease. As long as they don’t share my food dish, I can be friends with almost anyone!

An Open Letter to Suddenlink Customers Recently, Suddenlink was forced to make a difﬁcult decision. Viacom demanded that we accept outrageous rate increases or cease to carry their channels, despite the fact that Viacom viewership has decreased for their main channels, some by almost 30%. Viacom was asking for a rate increase of nearly 50%. When we asked Viacom to allow us to carry only their most popular channels, they raised the price even higher. We believe to pass on such a rate increase is simply unfair to our customers. And we are not alone. In the last several months, 60 other TV providers from across the country have made a similar decision. After polling a wide sample of Suddenlink TV subscribers, we’ve learned which additional channels you would be most interested in watching. Now we’re responding to what you told us by adding many great new networks – including The Blaze, Sprout, FXX, Pivot, Up, and many more – to our already robust channel lineup. Plus we’re giving you access to innovative apps such as WatchESPN, HBO GO, and Suddenlink2GO, which allow you to watch your favorite programming anytime, anywhere. Please feel free to go to ByPopularDemand.com to discover which new networks will be appearing in your area. As always, we thank you for your business.

Just a few of the many new networks and innovative apps we’ve added.
