A Pine man was killed Wednesday afternoon after his vehicle collided head-on with a van north of Payson.

David Alley, 59, of Pine, was traveling southbound on Highway 87 at 3:10 p.m. in a red Hyundai passenger vehicle when his vehicle crossed the double yellow centerline at milepost 255, colliding headon with a GMC passenger van, according to a spokesperson with the Arizona Department of Public Safety.

The van, heading northbound, was driven by Alaa Bartley, 34, of Gilbert. Cindi

Chris Higgins Payson Town Councilor

Payson Town Council member and small-business owner Chris Higgins has seen economic revitalization in progress and believes it’s possible for Payson.

Higgins says it’s all about collaboration.

“That’s what every community has done,” said Higgins. “In Cottonwood, it was a combined effort of the town, the chamber and the business community. The more involvement you have from those groups, the more successes you have.”

Higgins has focused on economic development since his election two years ago. And has attended presentations around Arizona. Local Arizona First,

a nonprofit that supports and advocates for locally owned businesses throughout the state, sponsored several of those sessions.

At the Sunrise ski resort, he found the longest zip line in the state.

In Douglas, which shares a border with Mexico, the town has started an international art festival.

“On the Mexico side, they paint the fence,” said Higgins. “Artists in town give classes. The events attract artists from all over the world.”

In Ajo, Higgins saw a successful partnership between concerned community members, the town, the University of Arizona and the International Sonoran Desert Alliance, (a nonprofit) to create

More fast food: Culver’s opens by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

After months of waiting, owners this week opened the 133-seat Culver’s restaurant, which boasts 30 mix-ins and toppings for its creamy vanilla and chocolate custard made fresh every two hours.

Culver’s officially opened Monday after a VIP opening Saturday attended by some 400 people.

Owner Steve Chlupsa said he and his wife Cathy are thrilled.

“We think it’s a wonderful area and we are excited to become a contributing and active member of the community.”

The restaurant is one of several new fast food establishments that have opened

in the area in the past year.

Culver’s has one of the largest menus, offering Atlantic cod, Butter Burgers, Reuben melt, pork tenderloin sandwich, salads, chili, soups and pot roast and chopped steak dinners. For sides, they offer Wisconsin cheese curds, green beans, mashed potatoes and gravy, coleslaw, chili cheddar fries and onion rings.

Culver’s staff on Wednesday said everything is made fresh and in-house. The fish is breaded on site and nothing is ever frozen. Well, everything but the custard.

Culver’s custard gets its creamy texture from the Wisconsin dairy it uses.

Steve and Cathy originally hoped to open before Labor Day, but weather pushed con-

struction back.

Steve said construction went well with the town being one of the easiest he’d worked with in the course of years of construction and projects. The Chlupsas have lived in Arizona off and on for the past 25 years after being transferred from Minnesota and Illinois while working at Honeywell. Steve was a former VP of finance and CFO at several large companies, most recently at Avnet in Tempe for the last seven years. Cathy was a registered nurse.

Steve retired early to open his own franchise. This is his first restaurant.

Bartley was a passenger in the van.

Alley died on scene from his injuries. Both Alaa and Cindi were transported to the hospital for treatment of their injuries.

Officials closed the highway after the wreck and re-opened it at 4:45 p.m.

Three Payson fire engines responded to Wednesday’s wreck along with at least three ambulances and what sounded like every DPS and Gila County Sheriff’s Office officer on duty.

Payson road crews put out road closure signs and Payson police helped with the road closure near Home Depot.

Lawmakers go after towns by

Peter Aleshire

roundup editor

A new state law that lets Arizona lawmakers potentially cut off a town’s state-shared gas tax, income tax and sales tax has already spawned several swirls of controversy.

Sen. Sylvia Allen (R-Snowflake) represents Rim Country and initially got involved in a complaint filed against Snowflake for approving a marijuana growing operation. She withdrew her complaint, which ultimately forced the town to redo its approval process. However, she remains a staunch defender of a law strenuously opposed by the Arizona League of Cities and Towns.

The League said the law not only attacks local authority, but denies cities and towns due process with millions of dollars of revenue at stake.

SB 1487 allows state lawmakers to file a complaint against a county or city if they think a law adopted by the local officials might violate the Arizona Constitution. The complaint “... the state has been triggers an investigation by the Arizona Attorney pushing back on cities General’s Office. If the invesand counties who are tigator decides the town or county might have violated trying to implement the state law, the state could cut progressive left’s agenoff all state-shared revenue — a big chunk of change for da.” most local governments.

New hope blossoms for the homeless in Rim Country by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

When Joe Corrigan and church leaders throughout Payson heard about a 23-year-old homeless man who hung himself out of despair, it galvanized them to find a solution — Hope House.

Corrigan, along with partner Don Lees, mobilized “tremendous” community support to open a beautiful facility behind Dunkin Donuts and Five Guys.

The house, formerly a doctor’s office, sports a fresh coat of stain. Inside, new cabinets line the redesigned kitchen.

The cozy dining room has a long table made for family-style dinners.

Inside the meeting room/living room, a huge fireplace waits for chilly winter.

Downstairs is a room for men.

Upstairs, rooms for women and children already have a couple of residents.

“Women and families are most at risk,” said Lees.

Lees and Corrigan say this is not a shelter — it’s transitional housing.

“A lot of people think this is a shelter.

It’s not,” said Lees, “this is transitional shelter.”

“I’ve addressed my mental illness, but because I broke a couple of leases along the way. It’s hard for me to get a job. I can’t get a place to live.”

Dionna Gagnier

Hope House manager

What does that mean?

It means residents sign a contract and agree to pay rent. They are held accountable.

That contract isn’t easy for many to sign. Once a resident signs, he or she agrees to remain sober, submit to drug tests and attend the Celebrate Recovery program at Mountain Bible Church — if they need it. They also purchase their own food and do chores around Hope House.

“We have boundaries and curfews.

We decide who can be here. It’s basically a controlled environment,” said Corrigan.

THE WEATHER

volume 26, no. 82

Weekend: Mostly sunny with highs in the mid to upper 70s, overnight lows around 50; 20% chance for rain on Saturday. Pollen level in the medium range. See page 7.

Corrigan said a few homeless decide they would rather live on the street or in the forest and continue to drink or use drugs, but that is often because the homeless suffer from mental illnesses and don’t believe they need help.

Dionna Gagnier, was one of those who had no idea she suffered from bi-polar disorder. She cycled from despair into a mania and back again. She used alcohol and pills to dull the mental anguish, but nothing worked. She went in and out of rehab units until she finally received a diagnosis.

Now Gagnier has a handle on her life and is the day manager and a resident of Hope House.

“I’ve addressed my mental illness,” she said, “but because I broke a couple of leases along the way. It’s hard for me to get a job. I can’t get a place to live.”

She said the way she is learning to improve herself is to help others and to run the household. She also goes to Celebrate Recovery and attends church.

“It’s actually challenging me to be a better me,” she said.

Hope House not only offers transitional housing, it also gives out blankets, sleeping bags, food, warm clothes and even tents.

In the winter, Hope House will help the homeless folks get a ride to the Valley to warmer weather and more shelters.

Getting the shot

Art & science meet in his photography by

Greg McKelvey

special to the roundup

Heading to the field with Dr. Bruce Taubert is much more than a stellar photographic opportunity; it is an adventure into the basics of wildlife.

Taubert, the former director of Arizona Game and Fish, and renowned photographer, is a Ph.D. wildlife biologist. He knows his subjects and will take the time to explain what’s happening in the animals’ lives, which often leads to a superior photograph.

Rim Country residents now have a chance to learn the secrets of this master biologist-photographer. He’s written “Wild in Arizona,” a book about where and how to photograph wildlife in Arizona. Several of the 50 spots he highlights are in Rim Country, including the Rim Road and Green Valley Park. He also includes 14 invaluable photographic tips for capturing wildlife.

Taubert will talk about his book and the blending of science and art on Monday, Oct. 10 at the monthly meeting that will take place at 6:30 p.m. at the home of Dr. Harley Schalesky (1804 E. Underwood Lane, off Tyler Parkway). If you’d like to attend, email helaththings4u@aol.com for directions.

His passion for wildlife has led to a life of focus — and adventure.

Taubert told me once that he set up a camera trigger outside a kangaroo rat’s nest, put seeds out along where his trail extended and set the camera up for night flash photography. The resulting image, beyond stellar, captured the rat rounding the corner with cheeks filled and eyes focused on getting back to the

den. The pounds of food and the hundreds of photos resulted in just the right action photo.

I have been out with Taubert knee-deep in Rim puddles bending down to water level to photograph mating pairs of Arizona tree frogs. My boots filled with water, but that’s a small price for the unique images.

Night stalking with a camera for the elf owls and early morning visits to burrowing owl locations produced images because Taubert knows the animals, when they hunt, their habits.

Venturing out with Dr. Taubert comes with a cost too. My first trip satisfied my quest to learn more about wildlife photography — but I also ended up with an expensive long lens, triggers, flash units, macro lenses and stuff that I learned how to use from him.

Treks to Bosque del Apache netted images only possible because Taubert out maneuvered the other photographers with his pre-trip scouting efforts and his knowledge when the birds would do what. We were always in the best location well ahead to the competition. Trips to Costa Rica capturing jungle critters, Namibia looking for deadly vipers at night, the Everglades for the birds and gators, Ecuador hummingbirds, Green Valley Park Lakes in the winter and even mushroom hunts on the Rim resulted in exceptional photos.

His love of science is only exceeded by his kindness and sense of humor. When you take a workshop from him, he will make sure you leave with quality images.

For Taubert, it’s more than taking exceptional photographs, it is sharing, caring and a passion for the subjects.

This too in contagious.

Former Game and Fish Director Bruce Taubert has learned to combine the knowledge of a biologist and the eye of an artist to shoot striking wildlife photos. He’ll offer tips on wildlife photography on Monday at the Rim Country Photography Club at a meeting open to the public and would-be photo club members.

One more piece in the Fossil Creek puzzle by

Peter Aleshire

roundup editor

A crucial 19-acre chunk of land alongside Fossil Creek this week passed into Forest Service hands.

Western Rivers Conserv­ ancy conveyed to the Forest Service the remaining private in-holding alongside the stream that attracts more than 100,000 visitors annually. The transfer completes the Fossil Creek National Wild and Scenic River corridor and conserves the last unprotected reach of this unique, mineral-laden stream, which has

become the premier refuge for native fish in the state.

The conservancy used federal funding to buy the land from a private seller in 2015 to protect the property for its crucial fish and wildlife habitat and to improve the integrity of the Wild and Scenic River corridor.

“Acquisition of this property was made possible through funding from the Land and Water Conservation Fund, thanks to the support of Senator McCain and the Arizona Congressional Delegation,” said WRC’s

Interior West Program Director Dieter Erdmann.

For a century, almost all of the water in the creek was diverted to a hydro-electric plant supplying the Valley with electricity. But in 2005, APS decommissioned the power plant and returned the flow of a travertine-laden spring to the creek.

Four years later, Congress designated all 17 miles of the stream as Wild and Scenic.

Meanwhile, Arizona Game and Fish removed the non-native fish from the creek and made it one of the most important refuges for native fish like the speckled dace, longfin dace, spikedace, loachminnow, Gila topminnow, Sonora sucker, desert sucker, razorback sucker, headwater chub, and roundtail chub.

Fossil Creek is a principal tributary to the Verde River, Arizona’s other Wild and Scenic River. It flows through two wilderness areas, the Fossil Springs Wilderness and the Mazatzal Wilderness.

Fossil Creek’s headwaters are Fossil Springs, near the Mogollon Rim. High in calcium carbonate, the water in the stream creates travertine formations and deep pools that range from aquamarine to

The Wild and Scenic designation provided protection for the entire creek — with the exception of the chunk of private land near the old APS power plant.

Nicole Branton, Red Rock District ranger, said, “Now that the Wild and Scenic River is complete, the Forest Service can more effectively manage it for the sake of the stream’s

fragile fish and wildlife and to ensure that visitors have safe and sustainable access.”

More than 80 special-status species inhabit the area along and around Fossil Creek.

Fifteen bat species occur in the river corridor, as do numerous bird species, including black hawks, peregrine falcons, bald eagles, Bell’s vireos, Lucy’s warblers and verdins.

The stream now supports nine

native fish species.

Last year, the Forest Service imposed a reservation and permit system to protect the stream from the impact of the rising number of visitors. The $5 permit requires an advanced reservation to visit the creek during the season.

The Forest Service is continuing to work on a long-term plan to protect the creek and regulate visitation.

Probation for Roosevelt assault by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

A man that got into a fight on the docks of Roosevelt Lake was sentenced Monday to probation and ordered to attend anger management.

Johnny Rene Arbizo, 37, repeatedly punched several men on the Windy Hill boat ramp in July 2015 after the men got into an argument about their boats, according to a pre-sentence report.

Arbizo will serve six months probation for assaulting the men and seven days in jail with credit for five days served.

The Gila County Sheriff’s Office was called to the west boat ramp after several men got into a brawl, of which one witness took video of at least some of that fight.

Deputies found two large pickup trucks parked next to each other on the ramp, their trailers and boats still in the water.

When a deputy approached, Arbizo told him to stay back and then proceeded to curse him

out. Arbizo eventually cooperated and sat down.

Arbizo admitted he had hit the men, but said they were yelling at his children.

In the video, Arbizo is seen punching the faces of two men who appear injured and unable to defend themselves. Arbizo walks away and then attacks them again several times. A witness is seen trying to stop Arbizo from attacking the men.

Arbizo told a probation officer that he had thought about the decisions he made that day and wishes he had handled things differently.

Arbizo has one prior, an alcohol offense from 1998.

Arbizo said he has been clean and sober for almost a year now, according to the pre-sentence report.

Probation recommended Arbizo complete anger managed to help him “notice triggers that may be contributing to his lack of self-control that day.”

“Ajo took the old Curley School and used low-income housing grants to turn the school into apartments for the artists,” he said.

In each case, the town collaborated with community groups and businesses.

And that’s the takeaway Higgins has obtained from his research — collaboration.

But he says he doesn’t think the town is excited about working with the businesses in town.

“What we haven’t seen the whole time is collaboration and working together,” said Higgins. “There was a separation between the town and the business community. The town has suffered by not rebounding as quickly as we could have,” he said. “For the last eight years, the total focus was on the university,” said Higgins.

“There were opportunities to be doing other things.”

That seems to be changing with groups such as Collective Arizona that recently met to discuss ideas and ways to improve the experience for visitors and businesses.

The new town leadership attended, along with members of the Rim Country Regional Chamber of Commerce, Payson Unified School District leadership, Planning and Zoning, Parks and Rec, Economic Development and several businesses from the Payson

High water mark for arrogance

• Oct. 6, 1866: In Indiana, the Reno gang carries out the first robbery of a moving train in the U.S., making off with over $10,000. Holding up moving trains in remote locations soon became popular in the American West.

• Oct. 7, 1984: At Soldier Field, Chicago Bears running back Walter Payton runs for 154 yards to become the NFL’s all-time rushing leader, breaking the record set by Cleveland’s Jim Brown in 1965.

• Oct. 9, 1992: A bowling ball-sized meteorite crashes through an orange 1980 Chevy Malibu in Peekskill, N.Y. Scientists say it came from the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars.

• Oct. 8, 2003: Vietnam and the United States reached a tentative agreement that would allow the first commercial flights between the two countries since the end of the Vietnam War.

Once upon a time, people elected state lawmakers to serve them — and the schools, counties and towns in which they live. But lately, our state lawmakers seem to think we voted them in to rule us — and ride roughshod over local government.

At least, that seems to be the point of Senate Bill 1487, supported by all three of Rim Country’s representatives in the state Legislature. This misbegotten measure allows individual lawmakers to file a complaint with the Arizona Attorney General against any town or county that does something they don’t like. The Attorney General will then do a quick investigation and decide whether the town’s ordinances or actions might violate a state law.

If the investigator decides maybe they have, the state can immediately cut off state-shared revenue — including sales taxes, gas taxes, income taxes and other revenue sources.

For towns like Payson, this would hack millions from the town budget in a sudden, devastating swoop.

All the town can do is go to court and try to get a judge to disagree with the opinion of the AG’s office. In the meantime, the town will face a budget disaster in the making.

The law shows contempt for local voters and local officials and makes a mockery of due process.

State lawmakers wasted no time filing complaints against towns. Our own Sen. Sylvia Allen briefly supported, but then withdrew, from Rep. Paul Boyer’s complaint against Snowflake after it approved a marijuana growing operation.

Oddly, the complaint mirrored objections by an outside group connected to the medical marijuana industry attempting to recall the town council. The Attorney General’s investigation dismissed the specific complaint the lawmaker filed.

However, the investigator found an entirely different reason to think that the town violated state law when it imposed a licensing fee. It’s unclear what happens next.

It’s bitterly ironic that the Arizona Legislature routinely rails against federal laws and insists on the superior virtue of the layer of government closest to the people. But in a commentary, Sen. Allen maintains that only the state has sovereign power. The states ceded a strictly limited list of responsibilities to the federal government, but retain otherwise untrammeled power. She says the cities and counties are mere creations of the state with only the power the Legislature deigns to delegate.

She claimed the Legislature has a duty to “push back” against counties and cities “trying to implement the progressive left’s agenda.”

But what happens if those evil progressives win control of the state government? Can you image the terrible cry Sen. Allen would raise if those progressives set about to bankrupt towns run by a “principled conservative” like herself?

In truth, we’d rather see power in the hands of the county board of supervisors and the town council and the school board every time. In our experience, they’re far less ideological, far more solutions-oriented and far more responsive to the voters.

SB 1487 sets a new, dismaying standard of arrogance for the Legislature.

True conservatives ought to limit the power of government, honor the will of the voters and solve problems as close to the local level as possible.

Instead, the meddling, high-handed, power-mongering arrogance of SB 1487 sounds like something you’d expect from a big-government, liberal progressive with an agenda.

Typical misdirection Editor: I’m not surprised the proponents of Prop.

205 are shouting about how much they’re going to help the public schools in Arizona.

It’s typical political misdirection: “look over here; pay no attention to the men behind the curtain pulling all the levers.”

Here’s the truth. Legalizing marijuana will harm more K-12 students than it can ever help. The state’s budgeters estimate Prop. 205 would generate $30 million for schools in its first year. While that would be a lot of money in my bank account, it’s not enough to build a single high school. If divided evenly among all Arizona teachers, it would increase their pay less than $50 a month.

But what would it cost? With marijuana more accessible, more teens would use it and some would go to school stoned.

Colorado had 1,000 middle-school drug violations, nearly all for marijuana, in the first year after voters legalized pot. There’s plenty of research that shows students who use marijuana fall behind in their studies.

That lost potential costs a lot more than $30 million.

Yet according to Amnesty International USA, vacant houses outnumber homeless people by five times.

A tragedy.

We’re pleased to see that a dedicated group of people have decided to open Hope House. It’s a sanctuary designed to give people a place to restructure their lives and find a direction, by getting a job, medical care, training or education.

The compassion and understanding the Hope House organizers have for the homeless in Rim Country gives people a second chance in our community. Good-hearted people and churches doing the Lord’s work made it possible. Hope House will give them warm clothes, blankets, food and sleeping bags to help them get through the cold nights with no judgment or expectations.

They just wait with the light on for when someone sleeping in the woods decides its time to come in from the cold.

To call the Hope House, dial 928-363-4052.

‘Adventure where we live’ reactions Editor’s note: Here are some comments from our blog on the story about a meet­ ing to unveil a new marketing plan for Payson. To join the discussion, go to payson.com and comment on some of the stories.

First of all, what is a hashtag?

Next, Payson needs to take care of Payson citizens first before trying to get new people here. Streets are terrible. Street lights on Main St. don’t all light up at night.

Most newer subdivisions were not allowed street lights. At least 1/4 of the property in Payson needs forest trimming and/or the vacant lots and homes need to clean the junk and trash off their property. If a fire starts in one of them good bye Payson. Get the ugly A frame signs off the Beeline. They make it look like all the businesses are going

out of business besides being a distraction.

They look worse than anything in South Phoenix. Forget about doing anything with American Gulch for at least 5 years, if then.

People don’t drive a hundred miles to walk down a dry ditch and look at the back of buildings. The air filled floppy signs are another distraction. Face it, Payson looks like a junk yard, starting just N. of the Casino. Stop worrying about Main St. It is coming along fine with the new buildings and remodeling that has been going on the last few yrs. Last but not least stop raising taxes. If I hadn’t been raised in Payson we would never have moved back here after being gone for 42 yrs. One circle thru town and we would have kept going. The council and dept. heads need to use a couple of their vans and take a tour of Payson. Take along cameras or a large notepad and take notes of how your town looks. Take a good look at the property that joins GVP on the east.

Positive things

Having read the article and having had the privilege of being invited to and attending the meeting I can report that the article did not cover everything that was discussed at this meeting. The meeting was enthusiastically participated in by representatives from the TOP (Town of Payson) Council and Mayor’s Office, TOP Parks/Recreation and Tourism Department, the Rim Country Regional Chamber of Commerce, PUSD, TOP Economic Development, TOP Planning and Zoning as well as several local business owners and while the main focus of the meeting was getting a positive message out in an effort to attract more people to come and enjoy Payson and Rim Country, the underlying tone of the meeting was establishing pride from within by sharing the positive things we see and love about where we live every day. Now please don’t get me wrong, I’m a heck of a guy, Cameron Davis is a heck of a guy, Joe Klein, Donovan Christian, Bobby Davis and the 15 or so other people in attendance all great people ... qualified to discuss road planning or fire protection from the noted tinder boxes apparently plaguing the town? Not enough to warrant a 2.5+ hour meeting.

What we are qualified to do is share our love for this area that we are proud to call home, proud to put down roots and open our businesses and raise our children in by getting together and positively working to get more people to come here and spend money and improve the quality of life for ALL of Rim Country. We know there are problems with the roads and so do the people qualified to discuss that and do something about it.

They must be meeting regularly because road improvement projects are happening (not literally at this minute) as we speak and there are plans approved and funding approved for more work to be done. Main Street is really only bad (and the town is hardly comparable to South Phoenix) in a few pocket areas and if people only see and focus on the negative then they will never see the positive.

I am proud to be part of this group and as a group we will be looking for help, sup-

port and the participation of all the people in Rim Country. We live in a great country where we can get out from behind our keyboards and have our voices heard. I attend many town council meetings and there is always time devoted to public comments there is also another great thing about this country we live in if we don’t like the place we are living we can leave and find a place more suitable to our needs or better for us than where we came from. I encourage everyone to take part in their community and my office is always open and I am very easily reached and willing to hear from both business owners and non-business related people, Chamber member or not. It’s time to get our hands dirty in a positive effort and let our negative typing fingers rest a while.

Chris Bartone, Rim Country Chamber manager

Bunch of greasy spoon joints

All corporate greasy spoon joints, the worst Walmart in the USA and a growing air pollution and traffic problem are what we have so far. Why can’t we be a nice retirement community with clean air, peace and no big brothers with their corporate fingers in our wallets?

Bruce Heffner

Just look at the traffic

Did anybody see the traffic jam this afternoon (Sunday) backed way up the 260 from its intersection with the 87? We gave up trying to get to some of the affected stores. And we want even more people coming up here?

That would be fine if we added local bypasses around the 87-260 choke point to the SE side and both west sides like we now have on the NE side (via Manzanita).

A Mud Springs extension would provide the SE local bypass and the extension behind Walmart the NW bypass. If these two ever get put in, that would leave only the SW side.

Then I think we could handle another 10,000 cars if the locals used the bypasses.

Mike White

Nothing really changes

I agree with some of Pat’s points. The small A frame signs advertising everything looks raunchy. After 25 years of living and learning the Town of Payson, not that much has really changed. The last so-called branding effort was “the Cool Mountain Town” as I recall. What did that achieve? Now another “group” has arrived on scene. I’m sure their motivations are sincere, but as a resident, I have seen many do-good local groups flash alive then slowly fade away with not much accomplished, if anything. Payson is a mishmash of old and new. Some nice neighborhoods, and some not so nice neighborhoods.

I see little enforcement to motivate business owners and property owners to clean up their holdings. And no Town enforcement.

Bottom line, it will take money and lots of it to improve Payson to make it what it could be. Your talking private sector investment.

What’s the incentive for them to do it? A so-called event center that has no roof protection from sun, rain, dust. To truly become successful, it needs to be fully enclosed.

Again money. So good luck with all the good ideas and wishful thinking. When the money shows up (and not from our local taxes) let me know. Maybe then I will jump on board the feel-good train.

State has a trout master plan

REAL ESTATE

By Kimberly Anderson, REALTOR®

Title Insurance and How It Impacts You

Where will you be fishing for monster trout? by

Peter Aleshire

roundup editor

Native fish.

Monster invaders.

Even hybrids.

Arizona Game and Fish says there’s room for everyone in Arizona’s lakes and streams.

Andy Clark, with Arizona Game and Fish’s Coldwater Fisheries division, laid out the master plan last weekend before a meeting of the Payson Flycasters.

Game and Fish hopes to streamline, simplify and broaden its management of coldwater fish — including four non-native trout, two threatened natives and graylings.

The state has been raising non-native trout and stocking them into Arizona streams and lakes in enormous numbers for nearly a century — in the process eliminating native trout and other species from most of the waters of the state.

But in the past two decades, the trend has somewhat reversed — with concerted effort to save the Gila and Apache trout, which once dominated nearly every high-mountain stream in the state.

The state now has 220 streams and lakes managed mostly for introduced trout, including nearly 1,000 miles of stream — many of them in Rim Country, according to the 2016 Coldwater Sportfisheries Strategic Vision Document, the basis of Clark’s presentation. Game and Fish also stocks trout into 57 lakes with a surface area of 3,700 acres. It manages 11 other much larger lakes with a surface area of 30,000 acres for warmwater species — like non-native bass, bluegill and catfish.

A recent survey estimated that the state’s 360,000 fishermen spend an average of 17 days a year fishing. They’re 83 percent men and 73 percent are older than 45.

They spent about $1 billion on fishing trips and gear in 2013, the most recent year for which Game and Fish has figures. They also paid $16 million for fishing licenses — a budget mainstay for Game and Fish.

The master plan would set aside some streams for native trout, others for “Blue Ribbon” monsters, but most for rainbows and other easily reared hatchery fish to draw anglers from throughout the state.

The native trout have returned to only a handful of coldwater streams, mostly stretches of stream protected from the intrusion of predatory non-native trout by fish barriers.

Game and Fish has learned to grow the threatened Apache trout in hatcheries with enough success that people can now actually fish for them in three White Mountain streams — the west fork of the Black River, the east fork of the Little Colorado River and the west fork of the Little Colorado River. Anglers can also catch the rare native trout in several streams and lakes on the White Mountain Apache Reservation.

Erosion from the Dude Fire smothered one small population of Gila trout 20 years ago. But in recent years, Game and Fish has established a small, population of Gila trout in Frye Creek near Safford. Enough fish are now reproducing in the creek to sustain a limited, catch-and-release fishery.

Game and Fish also hopes to eventually reintroduce Gila trout into a section of Haigler Creek, although that will mean building fish barriers and killing off the current population of wild brown and rainbow trout.

But the master plan calls for managing most of the state’s rivers and lakes for the non-native species anglers like to catch — and cook.

Peter Aleshire/Roundup

Game and Fish wants to make Woods Canyon Lake a place where people can catch the hybrid tiger trout, while putting the endangered native Gila trout in a stretch of Haigler Creek.

Here’s a breakdown of the ultimate plan for the coldwater lakes and streams of Rim Country. The plan includes the following goals, but no timetable for bringing it about. In some cases, the streams and lakes already meet these criteria.

Blue Ribbon:

Nine locations with 91 acres of lake and 163 miles of stream.

These waters would have about 500 trout per mile of stream habitat, with at least 5 percent of those larger than 20 inches long. This generally requires rules that sharply limit the number of fish anglers can keep — or strictly catch-and-release waters. The goal would produce an angler catch rate of one fish per hour.

Canyon Creek — lower reach — a 3.8-mile stretch below OW bridge with big, brown trout.

Chevelon Creek — upper — a 13-mile stretch that includes the confluence of Willow Springs and Woods Canyon to Chevelon Lake), with brown trout.

East Clear Creek — A 94-mile stretch of creek with big rainbows and browns.

Designated:

18 locations, including 1,386 acres of lake and 163 miles of streams.

These waters have about 300 trout per mile, with 25 percent of them larger than 12 inches and 5 percent larger than 18 inches and an angler catch rate of one fish per hour.

Chevelon Lake — 200 acres with rainbow trout.

Chevelon Creek — middle reach — a 4-mile stretch below Chevelon Dam to the power lines, with brown and rainbow trout.

Basic Yield:

Four locations, with 470 acres of lake and 6 miles of stream.

Waters in which half of the trout are greater than 10 inches in length — which is about the size of the average hatchery trout when it’s released. Mostly, anglers catch the fish as they’re stocked.

Workman Creek — A six-mile stretch in the upper reach.

Wild/Native Trout:

87 locations including 285 acres of lake and 497 miles of streams.

These waters support wild-born and native trout, with everything from fry to blue ribbon fish, with a density of about 500 trout per mile of stream.

Bonita-East Verde — The whole 3-mile stretch of creek with brook trout.

Chevelon Lake — 200 acres with brown trout.

Dude Creek — A 4.6-mile-long creek with native Gila trout.

East Verde River — the upper reach would have 18.6 miles of stream for wild rainbow.

Ellison Creek — the 4.1-mile-long creek would have rainbow.

Haigler Creek — the 3 miles in the upper reach would have Gila trout.

Horton Creek — the entire 2.4-mile creek would have rainbows.

Houston Creek-Tonto — the entire 5.9mile creek would have rainbows.

Pine Creek — the upper 2.6 miles would have wild rainbows and browns.

Reynolds Creek — the entire 1.6 miles of creek would have rainbows.

Tonto Creek-Salt — the 21-mile middle reach would have browns.

Weber Creek — the 4.6-mile upper reach would have browns and rainbows.

West Clear Creek — the 23-mile upper reach would have browns.

Wet Beaver Creek — the 7-mile upper reach would have brown trout.

Willow Springs Creek — the 3.4-mile stretch from Willow Springs Dam to the confluence with Woods Canyon Creek would have rainbows.

Woods Canyon Creek — the 5.8-mile stretch from the lake to the confluence with Willow Springs Creek would have wild brook and brown trout.

Workman Creek — the 6-mile lower reach would have wild rainbows.

Featured Species:

15 locations including 700 acres of lake and 16 miles of streams.

These waters specialize in certain species, with 50 trout per acre of habitat and an angler success rate of about one fish every two hours.

Bear Canyon Lake — the 60-acre lake would have rainbows and the new, hybrid tiger trout.

Woods Canyon Lake — the 52-acre lake would have rainbows and tigers.

Willow Springs Lake — the 158-acre lake would have rainbows and tigers.

102 locations, including 34,000 acres of lake and 287 miles of streams.

Managers would try to stock enough fish into these lakes so anglers catch one fish every two hours, with about 50 trout per acre of habitat.

When you buy a home, you will be given a title to your new property. A title is a legal document that proves you own the property, and in most cases the title excludes other parties from making an ownership claim. However, not all titles give you free and clear ownership of the property. Title insurance protects you and your lender from title disputes and other ownership issues that may arise. Here are just a few ways that title insurance can impact your mortgage.

How Title Insurance Protects A Lender - There are certain situations in which someone might put a lien on your property.

New owners might see liens if the previous owner failed to pay the mortgage, if a contractor did work without the new owner’s consent or if the previous owner owes unpaid property taxes. If these liens were not disclosed prior to the sale, a buyer could face a situation where a third party is making a claim to the property. Should the title by voided in court, the insurance policy would repay the lender the outstanding balance on the mortgage. The policy is valid until the mortgage loan is paid off. When a homeowner refinances, it may be necessary to purchase a new title loan policy, as the new loan will technically pay off the old loan.

How Title Insurance Protects A Buyer - Title loan policies do not just protect the lender. In many cases, the lender will require the buyer’s title insurance to include an owner policy.

This policy confirms that the buyer owns the title and that the title is free from defects. The policy is in effect for as long as the buyer or his or her descendants own the house. Should a homeowner have his or her title challenged, the policy will cover all losses up to the amount of the original purchase price of the home. A buyer with a loan of $250,000 would pay about $1,308 for title insurance.

How Much Does Title Insurance Cost? The cost of title insurance can vary between locations. Here in Arizona the seller is responsible for paying the title insurance. The cost is based on the purchases price, a home costing $250,000 would cost the seller about $1,199 for title insurance. Title insurance is a great way to protect your investment in your home. It insures you against ownership disputes and liens, which means your house is truly yours.

Payson Roundup LOCAL Friday, October 7, 2016 Advocates for the homeless relied on donations from thrift stores in Payson to furnish the shelter offering transitional housing.

Michele Nelson/Roundup

Help for the homeless From page 1 So where are most of the homeless in Payson?

Gagnier said they live in the wooded areas behind Walgreens, Walmart and Bashas’.

Corrigan said he has seen some in the tunnel by the mortuary.

“I see the same homeless people,” he said. “It’s a wonderful experience to work with the homeless and feed them. It’s great when they share it ... the Bible says they are the meek.”

Corrigan admits up front that Hope House is a Christianbased institution. As a result, backers do not seek grants from the government. Instead, local churches, individuals and organizations like the Time Out Shelter provided the necessary support.

An “esteemed doctor and his wife” and a deacon’s wife all of whom wish to remain anonymous, helped raise the money to purchase the Hope House.

The radio station, KPJM 99.7 had a radio program to support the Hope House project.

The Hope House partners with the Time Out Shelter to provide goods and receives

advice on how to run the transitional housing program.

Thrift shops in the area, including Pine Strawberry Thrift, Payson Senior Thrift Store and the Time Out Thrift Shop, have all donated items.

Southwest Behavioral and Community Bridges offer support and references for residents in need.

But the greatest donation Corrigan said Hope House received came from the children living in the trailer park across the street.

“They raised $35 from a lemonade stand,” he said.

Corrigan said he and Lees plan to make Hope House more self-sustaining by charging rent from the residents, along with receiving donations.

Corrigan and Lees said this is truly a transitional situation, not a final stop.

Lees said he experienced the power of transitional housing when his brother was murdered in Phoenix, leaving 10 children from two different mothers.

“One was just a week old,” he said.

Lees and his wife had them all move up to their Star Valley home. At one point, there were

20 people in the home.

But it was a beautiful experience for Lees.

“I worked at Bashas’ at night and when I came home all the kids would be asleep. It was real quiet. But there would be a plate of food on the stove for me,” he said.

Out of that experience, his sisters-in-law and their children moved out once they got on their feet. Every kid went on to become something, a teacher, a mechanic, or a secretary.

Corrigan agrees with Lees.

“We give people a hand up, not a hand out,” said Corrigan.

“The idea is to give them a chance to go to school or get a job, like a year or six months.”

Although everyone at Hope House prays for the best, they still need help from the community, especially with expansion plans.

Hope House is Phase I of the plan, said Corrigan. Phase II will include expanding on the current property to make a soup kitchen, laundry and shower space.

“It will be a place for them to get on their feet,” said Corrigan.

The Hope House also seeks to expand into Phase III on property across the street.

Lawmakers target towns From page 1 The county or town would then have to go to court to challenge the cutoff of funding if they could convince a trial court judge the Attorney General’s Office had made a mistake. The law would give state lawmakers a chokehold over local ordinances. Town and county officials have criticized the ordinance, pointing out the hypocrisy of a state legislature indignant about the imposition of federal laws setting in place a system that allows them to so easily overturn local laws and ordinances.

However, Sen. Allen said the new law makes perfect sense.

“Over the past few years, the state has been pushing back on cities and counties who are trying to implement the progressive left’s agenda by passing local ordinances and city codes that are contrary to state law,” she said in a recent newsletter to voters.

All three of Rim Country’s representatives supported the measure, including Allen, Rep. Brenda Barton (R-Payson) and Rep. Bob Thorpe (R-Flagstaff).

Local ordinances cited by lawmakers in adopting the measure included efforts in Tucson and elsewhere to increase controls on gun sales and bar the use of plastic bags in grocery stores and raise the minimum wage locally.

Sen. Allen said the states — and the state legislatures — exist as “separate and independent sovereigns.”

Therefore, she said the Constitution narrowly limits the laws the federal government can pass, but leaves the state legislatures much more freedom to impose laws and regulations. She said the state effectively created counties and towns and therefore has untrammeled authority over them, within the limits of state law.

“Unlike the state, the cities, towns and counties are all political subdivisions of the state. They are not sovereign jurisdictions themselves. They were organized under the state Constitution to allow government to be closer to the people.

These political subdivisions were not intended to thwart state law and act as independent sovereign entities.”

Sen. Allen continued, “more and more these

political subdivisions are becoming bold to implement a liberal progressive agenda because they are unhappy that voters elected principled conservatives to the Legislature.

“Cities, towns, counties and other political subdivisions play an important role for local government. It ensures that daily government can be closer to the people and reflect the needs and values of different communities. It would be counter to our conservative principles to micromanage the daily governance of local governments. But when it comes to matters of statewide concern, violations of state law or infringing on the public’s constitutional rights, the state must step in” to avoid creating “tyranny and chaos.”

Lawmakers have already taken advantage of the new law to challenge local actions with which they disagree.

State House Rep. Jay Lawrence (R-Scottsdale) has filed a complaint with the Attorney General in an effort to prevent the City of Phoenix from issuing photo-identification cards to undocumented immigrants. He cited a state law making it illegal to establish “sanctuary cities.”

Sen. Allen was initially listed along with Rep. Paul Boyer in the complaint against Snowflake, but later her name was dropped from the complaint.

The complaint echoed the allegations made by an out-of-town group with connections to the medical marijuana industry that also supported a recall against the town council. The original complaint, the first filed under SB 1487, claimed the town had violated the open meeting and public notice laws in approving an application

by Copperstate Farms. Boyer asserted the town violated residents’ right to vote on the issue and questioned the imposition of an $800,000 licensing fee.

An investigator for the Attorney General ultimately ruled that most of the allegations fell outside the scope of SB 1487, which focused on official actions rather than procedures. However, he said the agreement with Copperstate might violate state law requiring the establishment of uniform business license fees.

Snowflake elected to repeal its approval process in hopes of avoiding the problem — and the loss of millions in state-shared revenue.

Greiner returns to Mountain Bible Dave Greiner and his wife Patty recently returned to retire in Payson.

With the recent resigna-

tion of Pastor Jim Harper from Mountain Bible Church, Greiner has accepted the position as interim pastor.

Three fire engines responded to an oven fire Tuesday afternoon in north Payson, but not a drop of water ended up being needed.

Around noon, someone reported a structure fire at the Maurnez Apartments, 110

W. Airport Road.

Payson firefighters arrived to find the occupant of a ground level apartment near the rear of the complex safely out of her unit, but smoke pouring out the front door.

Firefighters found the smoke was coming from the apartment’s oven. They learned the resident had turned on the oven to preheat, but forgot to take out

items she had stored in the oven, including bake ware and plastics. The plastic melted, filling the apartment with smoke.

There were no flames so firefighters did not have to use any water. The apartment did have working smoke detectors.

Battalion Chief Jerome Lubetz said it is a good reminder not to store anything inside an oven.

Halloween help sought

Correction about upcoming Jazz All Stars Concert performer We inadvertently printed that “the famous” Yanni would be taking part in the next Jazz All Stars Concert at the Community Presbyterian Church at 2 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 30.

Yanni will be in the concert, but it is Ioannis Goudelis on piano. The more noted Yanni is Yiannis Chryssomallis, known professionally as Yanni.

We regret the error.

The resumé of Goudelis is outstanding and he should be an exceptional addition to the Jazz All Stars concert Oct. 30.

Look for additional details in future publications.

Calling all you ghouls and goblins — it is time for the Annual Trunk or Treat Festival sponsored by State Farm — Matt Crespin.

The Monday, Oct. 31 event in the very spooky Ox Bow Saloon on Payson’s Main Street will last from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. The town will buy candy once again to be distributed from more than 30 decorated booths for children younger than 12.

“The reason the town buys the candy is because we want to provide a safe environment for children to safely trick or treat and give parents peace of mind that their children are safe,” said Parks, Recreation and Tourism Director Cameron Davis.

Businesses that want to sponsor a booth can sign up at the Parks, Recreation and Tourism office at 1000 W. Country Club.

Sponsors must supply and decorate their own 10x10 trunk or you may use a town car trunk. Trunk space reservation deadline is 5 p.m., Friday, Oct. 21.

This year bring your kids and enjoy

the “Star Wars Experience.” Meet all your favorite Star Wars characters: Luke Skywalker, Darth Vadar, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Rea, Storm Troopers and many more. Get autographs and take a family picture with all the characters. The Star Wars Experience will be open from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. and admission is only $3. Bring a can of food for the local food bank and get in for $2.

This year parking is available at a large lot near the Ox Bow as well as Green Valley Park, the Julia Randall Elementary School lot, the Presbyterian Church on Main Street and the Main Street parking lot off of Westerly.

Oxbow owner Brian Mortensen owns the venue for the event and C.E.R.T will provide security.

Movie delivers nonstop action ripped from the headlines ‘Deepwater Horizon’ reveals unsung heroes behind tragic parade of blunders Intense fiery death engulfs the screen in “Deepwater Horizon,” a film depicting the famous drilling disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. I have never seen such a sustained action sequence in a disaster film that keeps the thrills going for so

long. All other movies about volcanoes, earthquakes or tidal waves have a new and higher mark to meet — a much higher mark.

The story will have a familiar sound to most of us. A drilling rig in the Gulf caught fire

Mark Wahlberg captured the heroism of the oil rig crew trapped on the Deepwater Horizon when the rig exploded due to a chain of mistakes by the company executives.

Dylan O’Brien we remember from the “Blade Runner” movies. He plays one of the sturdy roughnecks. Watch for Trace Adkins in a cameo at the end of the movie.

Mark Wahlberg and the other producers allowed a gigantic budget of $156 million.

This film deserves to be a huge success, but $156 million is a

lot of money to claw back. This four saw blade film has a mild PG-13 rating and runs for one hour and 47 minutes.

Fun Facts: The filmmakers built a prop oil rig, which is the largest prop ever specially constructed for a movie. This is the first film in which Kate Hudson has worked with her father Kurt Russell.

The housewarming at LR’s new place included a presentation of a special quilt made to honor his service in the U.S. Army in World War II.

Further down FR 34, you can see the sides of the canyons and the Rim showing off the deep red of isolated pockets of maples. Aspens and maples are the crown jewels of the fall show and should be at full splendor this

weekend in that area.

Larry and Patty Boeschling welcomed us and invited us to have our brunch around the kitchen table.

“Doc” Almendinger had prepared a feast of Brie baked in puff pastry, baguette rounds with a mascarpone Italian cream cheese-fig spread, prosciutto wrapped honeydew melon, fresh mozzarella cheese wrapped with Italian jamon, and cold smoked salmon provided by Pat Perkins, all served with an Italian Lombroso!

Pepper and Trudy were enjoying their first trip to the ranch. We visited the blacksmith shop first and engaged in the guessing game of what all the tools and implements were.

The big house, built in the late ’30s, was the highlight of the tour. Visiting the ranch is always a thrill and we thank our hosts once again for the opportunity.

A get-well message goes out to a devoted reader from Florence, Wis. Judie comes to visit daughter, Pepper, in the Creek from time to time.

Oh, by the way, there was a little surprise birthday party for a local who was about to celebrate his 70th. It happened on Friday evening, a normal

time for cocktails and goulash. Well, the guy shows up just before five and was promptly ushered away by Cheri and Beau.

After a couple at the Landmark, Beau and this fella headed back down Columbine to the Dodsons’ around six.

Seeing there was no parking there, he parked next-door and walked across the lot to the back of Dean and Genny’s. Just as he rounded the back of the house, the entire party was walking down the gravel drive to the road for a surprise welcome.

So, who surprised who?

There were nearly 50 folks in attendance. The cauldron held one of the campfires. You have never seen so much food.

It was a memorable evening, an event for the ages. Food was served, cocktails were enjoyed, and the cake was presented as the song was sung, the candles were blown out — poof — and many wonderful gifts and cards were opened.

What amazes me is how this all came about when the eyes and ears of the Creek had heard not even a whisper about it. Thank you, everybody ... and that’s another week in the Creek!

Acknowledging a milestone of service to Tonto Village residents, visitors Believe it or not, this month marks 15 years since I started to write this column. Where has the time gone? The years have simply flown away. I really didn’t realize how important the column would become to the residents of the Village. My main objective in writing this column was to unite everyone with a sense of community and the “one for all and all for one” philosophy. We have such a unique community with a variety of cultures, ethnicity and even a bit of “redneck” thrown in. I truly would not want to live anywhere else, and I hope the residents think of the ‘Tonto Village column as an asset to the community and not in any way a detriment. I will still try to touch the heart of the community with stories of what is happening in the Village to the best of my ability.

Hellsgate Fire Department

The change of seasons

“The Hellsgate Fire Department is teaming up with the Moose Lodge #852 in Star Valley to host a benefit in honor of the Hellsgate Firefighter village Bill Dupke who lost his battle with cancer. Join us on Oct. 15, for a Street Fair complete with games, food, music, raffles and dancing and more,” says Deputy Chief John Wisner. All Janet Snyder funds will be going to the Dupke family. The fun starts at 2 p.m. and will run until around 10 p.m., the activities will be in the bays of the fire station. Please make an effort to support the event by coming to the Street Fair and to support the Dupke family.

“Brrr” is the buzzword this week. The temperatures have dropped, with the lows at night in the high 30s.

I still have tomatoes on the vine as well as zucchini and peppers.

I guess gardening is just about over for this season and my garden is “kaput” until next spring.

Domino Divas As all the Divas know, we have a regularly scheduled time for “chocolate time” at 3 p.m. on the days we play. Sometimes the time gets by us if we are in an intense game. A few weeks ago, I heard singing, which is not unusual for some of the ladies to break out in song if a

phrase or word brings to mind a song, so I wasn’t too surprised when I heard a few of the players singing ... “Nestles make the very best chocolate” ... and it finally dawned on me that they were looking straight at me. I looked up at the clock and sure enough, the time was 3:05 p.m. I jumped up and raced to get the candy dishes to the tables. Now it’s a standing ritual — Don’t forget the chocolate at 3 p.m. or the girls will break out in song — “Nestles makes the very best ... Chocolate.”

Birthdays, anniversaries The second week in October is a special time for Bill and me.

Our 59th wedding anniversary is on Oct. 12. Time flies when you’re having fun — so they say. We have had our share of ups and downs as have many other couples. The downs are

part of the glue that makes the ups memorable and helps to ensure that the union stays intact. Happy anniversary to you, Bill, it surely has been anything but dull. I still love you as much today as I did 59 years ago.

Oct. 12 is also the wedding anniversary of Hellsgate firefighter Jeff Yunkens and his wife Rachelle. They were married three years ago at the Ox Bow Saloon in Payson. Of course my hubby and I were there to celebrate their union and the start of their married life together. Happy anniversary to both of you; may your life together be a joy forever.

Oct. 14 is a special day for Betty Koutz of Tonto Village I. Harvey Poyner will share his birthday with Betty. They both help the Double D run smoothly with whatever needs to be

done. Happy birthday, Betty and Harvey. I refuse to make a joke about age. (Laughing only causes wrinkles.)

Cooking tip This week, instead of a recipe, I have a hint for chicken — my “go- to” staple in my freezer.

I always have legs, thighs and chicken breasts to use for just about any main dish.

When frying chicken, (my favorite way to prepare), canola oil provides a milder taste and it contains healthier amounts of saturated and polyunsaturated fats. Do not cover the chicken once it has finished cooking because covering will cause the coating to lose its crispness.

One pound of boneless chicken equals approximately three cups of cubed chicken.

Till next week, keep warm and I know the creek won’t rise.

except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.”

Jesus, clearly explains to Nicodemus, His very existence on earth. Jesus who not only is the Word made flesh, but He is also God’s 3D love to the world, tangible, in flesh, One that could be touched, handled and experienced, responded to those questions with sound, clear and simple responses.

Now we get to the meat ...

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

“For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.

For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed.

But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.” My friends are you afraid to read the Bible because of what your friends may think?

Just like Nicodemus, go to Jesus and you can read the Bible anytime, away from others, even at night.

Are you not understanding God’s love and perhaps too timid to ask?

Just like Nicodemus, go to Jesus. Read the Bible with observation, interpretation and application, then pray and ask God to give you understanding

Pine Strawberry Arts and Crafts Guild member Catherine Hurla is certain the group’s boutique offers unique gift and personal items that cannot be found elsewhere.

“These crafts include baskets by Bob Gleason from Beeline Bed and Breakfast, artwork, leather craft, knit and crochet items, jewelry, woodworking and many other crafts,” said Hurla. “Many of our items would make great birthday gifts, Christmas gifts or maybe a gift for yourself.”

The boutique, which is located behind the Pine-Strawberry Thrift Shop, will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. tomorrow, Saturday, Oct. 8.

In addition to the boutique opening, other big weekend activities include Pine Strawberry Business Community members’ Ninth Annual Fall Festival from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 8 and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. the following day, Oct. 9 at the community center.

The always-popular chili cook-off is set for 11 a.m. on Saturday. The fee is $5 to taste the chili and also help judge.

The festival will include a local author’s book signing, food vendors and the Fifth Annual Antique Show in the cultural hall.

Good times all for children The beer was flowing, horseshoes flying and Sidewinders Tavern and Grill rockin’ and rollin’ Saturday afternoon as revelers who had just completed the Justice McNeeley Foundation poker run and quad ride hooped it up.

No official word as yet on the number of riders or money earned, but the crowds at Sidewinders seemed to indicate the fundraiser for children might have attracted record numbers of participants.

Somewhat notable for this old ATV owner, was the presence at the ride of increasing numbers of side-by-sides. At poker runs only a few years ago, most rode traditional one and two person ATVs. But Saturday, the high dollar, top of the line side-by-sides were in the majority.

The foundation’s motto is “Help us Help a Child.”

Fire up the four-wheelers Rim Country Riders ATV Club members will gather at 9:30 a.m. tomorrow, Saturday, Oct. 8 for a “Ride to Flowing Springs” adventure.

Participants should meet in the Ponderosa Market parking lot and bring their own lunch and beverages.

The ride leaves at 9:45 a.m.

The fee for non-members is $10 each however, memberships in the club can be purchased before the ride. The annual fee is $30 per family or $25 for single membership.

ATVs and OHVs should be street legal because a one-half mile portion of the ride, from Pine to the Control Road turnoff, is on Beeline Highway.

The ride level is 2 on a 5-point difficulty scale. Lunch will be at Flowing Springs and the ride is expected to wrap up about 3 or 4 p.m.

For more information or to register for the ride, call 928476-2626.

Also on the club agenda is a “Tonto Village Double D Ride and Lunch” on Oct. 15.

During the month of September, the Humane Society of Central Arizona was able to find good homes for 37 stray, lost or abandoned dogs and cats.

The society’s work, however, comes with a price and funds are often tough to come by. For that reason, Humane Society members depend on fundraisers and benefits, such as Pins for Paws, to supplement the strapped tight budget.

The next benefit — the 6th Annual Pins for Paws — begins with registration at 3:30 p.m., Friday, Oct. 14 at Beeline Bowl and Belle’s Bar in Payson.

Bowling tips off at 4 p.m.

Following bowling, Gerardo’s Firewood Cafe will serve a buffet for $20, which includes a no-host bar.

Bowlers can help the shelter by obtaining sponsors in any amount. Also there will be raffles for gift certificates, dinners, movies and other prizes. Raffle tickets are $5 each or five for $20.

A silent action will also feature gold, spa and beauty packages, jewelry and more.

Bowling reservations are limited, so call the Humane Society at 928-474-5590 to make reservations.

WEEKLY SUDOKU

BY LINDA THISTLE

Find the listed words in the diagram. They run in all directions — forward, backward, up, down and diagonally.

CROSSWORD ANSWER

SUDOKU ANSWER

SALOME’S STARS ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Someone from your past could arrive with welcome news concerning your future. Meanwhile, avoid taking sides in a workplace confrontation until you have more facts to go on.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A decision about a relationship could have longer-lasting consequences than you might imagine, so be sure of your facts before you act. A trusted friend can help.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A strained relationship could be restored with more personal contact between the two of you. Letting others act as your go-between only adds to the ongoing estrangement.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) New facts could mean taking a new path toward a goal you’ve been hoping to reach. However, be sure all your questions are answered before you undertake to shift directions.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) This is a good week for all you fine Felines to turn your attention to some important considerations, such as your health, your job situation and the status of important relationships.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Avoid making a quick decision about a matter that needs more study. Keep your mind open for possibilities, even if they don’t seem plausible -- at least not yet.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might welcome the emphasis on openness in relationships that mark this period. But it’s a good idea to avoid sharing personal secrets with people you hardly know.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) There are still some questions that need to be asked and answered before you can feel confident enough to make a potentially life-changing decision.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Some lingering effects from a now largely resolved workplace confrontation could make things difficult for you. Act on this before it becomes serious.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You feel you’re finally in control of your own life after months of making compromises and concessions you never felt comfortable with. Congratulations.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) No sooner do you decide to pass on one job offer than another suddenly turns up. This one might not have everything you’re looking for, but it’s worth checking out.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Congratulations. With Jupiter’s strong influence dominating this week, don’t be surprised to get some good news about a troubling financial matter.

Are you struggling to actually go to Him? Jesus is tangible; you can go to Him with your questions by reading the Bible, believing what he says, applying it to your life and praying about it. And asking others trained in His word to help guide and

COROLLA Let’s get ready to rumble! I like to go head to head with my stuffed animals and show them what a strong girl can do.

I also have a passion for rope toys and like running around shaking them wildly about. I can be very adventurous at times and therefore love going on walks. I’d be the perfect hiking companion, there’s nothing like getting out of the house and heading to the trails; besides, I would scare off all the wild critters! I would love if I had a large yard to be able to run around and play in.

PATCHES Curiosity drives me every day, I have to check out my new surroundings and make sure they meet my standards of course.

This means plenty of secret hiding spots that only I can get to. I’m a fluffy guy that likes to be petted but only after I feel comfortable around you. I would absolutely love if I could be adopted with my brother, Spot, since we’ve always lived together. I can be sneaky when it comes to avoiding company, but then again who doesn’t have that attitude sometimes? If I sound like the right guy, come on down and check me out!

SPOT I’m a cool guy with a shy side. I absolutely love being around my brother who can help calm me when I’m anxious. You’ll find me curled up next to him or dangling my paw on him like he’s my security blanket.

I’m a good-natured cat who can be daring at times. If I feel uncomfortable I will try to make a run for it. I want someone to sit with and work my way into their lap so I can get the cuddles that I so deserve. If I was able to be adopted with my brother, Patches, that would mean the world to me!

Publication for EA Projects (floodplain/wetlands) Order: 10084034 E-P.5 – COMBINED NOTICE OF FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT AND Cust: -Town INTENT Of Star Valley TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS NOTICE OF DECISION REGARDING PROJECT TO BE LOCATED IN Keywords: E-P5 Notice (OR THAT WILL IMPACT ON) A FLOODPLAIN OR WETLANDS art#: 20138006 October 7, 2016 Class: Public Notices Name of Responsible Entity [RE]: Town of Star Valley Address: 3675 East Highway 260 Size: 2.00 X 8.50 City, State, Zip Code: Star Valley, AZ 85541 Telephone Number of Responsible Entity Preparer Agency 480-474-9300 (Central Arizona Governments) This Notice shall satisfy the above-cited two separate but related procedural notification requirements for activities to be undertaken by the Town of Star Valley.

REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS

On or about October 25, 2016 the Town of Star Valley will submit a request to the Arizona Department of Housing for the release of CDBG funds under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, to undertake a project known as Well purchase and connection, for the purpose of: Purchasing an existing well from a private owner located behind the Circle K store at 3792 Hwy. 260 in Star Valley, including the appropriate easements/access. The well will be connected to the Town’s existing public water system at an existing fire hydrant located at approximately 3964 Hwy. 260 (the Spur Bar).

The connection will consist of approximately 900 feet of 8” C900 PVC piping and the related parts as required. The well is registered with the State of Arizona, is 15 yrs. old and produces approximately 70 GPM. Further, in order to comply with Executive Orders 11988 or 11990 and the Water Resources Council’s Floodplain Management/Wetlands Protection Guidelines, the Town of Star Valley hereby states that this Well purchase and connection lies within an identified floodplain or wetlands or will impact on a floodplain or wetlands. However, the Town of Star Valley reached a decision that this is the only practicable alternative for this project.

Its decision is based on an evaluation of the following alternatives: The town considered connecting a town owned well that is landlocked however its location would require an easement that was not assured and required a longer distance of pipe to connect to the tow’s system.

The town also considered drilling a new well that may, or may not provide the needed water. The purchase of an existing well with a production record seems more practical. The No Action alternative does not provide any backup water to the existing town system leaving the low/mod residential service area vulnerable to changing water levels, breakdowns, maintenance needs, and possible contamination.

The Town of Star Valley will however, ensure that this project will conform to all state and/or local floodplain or wetlands protection standards, and will take the following actions to mitigate the flood hazard/impact on wetlands and to restore and preserve natural and beneficial values: Arizona Department of Environmental Quality and U. S. Army Corps of Engineers guidelines for both air and water contaminants, runoff control, and construction material and supplies containment will be observed. Written notification of the need to stop work for historical consultations if any unexpected artifacts are uncovered will be provided to project participants.

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT

Please call 928 978 2192

The Town of Star Valley has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 NEPA is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record ERR on file at Town Hall, 3675 East Highway 260, Star Valley, AZ, 85541 and at Central Arizona Governments (CAG), 1075 S.

THIS EVENT

Keith Morris/Roundup

A quad rider maneuvers his way through a mud pit on a rainy Sunday afternoon during the inaugural Arizona Offroad Promotions Payson Grand Prix last Saturday and Sunday at Payson Event Center. The wet weather didn’t stop most competitors from hitting the track for several races held both days for motorcycles, ATVs and UTVs. AZOP also held a race in Star Valley in June and plans to return to Rim Country with two more races next year. Mazatzal Hotel & Casino and Four Seasons Motorsports sponsored the race.

Can’t sneak up on Lobos Just how good is Payson High’s football team?

If all you had to do was look at the record, the more than a n s w e r a game would be easy.

Two wins and four losses?

Well, not very good, obviously.

But hold Keith Morris on a minute my friend.

It’s not so simple.

This is a team that on the right night can beat any Class 3A team in the state.

Forget the record.

They’ve only recently begun to realize how good they actually are.

There are a couple of good reasons for that.

First, they started the season a week earlier than usual in an effort to get a bye week prior to the 3A East opener against Show Low. Unfortunately, that hurt them trying to set up a scrimmage a week before most teams are ready for a scrimmage. So they scrimmaged themselves.

That’s never a good situation because you’re not going to learn much against your buddies you see every day.

I wish they had managed
