DON’T FORGET TO VOTE! Paramedics use new pipeline helipad to save a life by

It’s only a concrete pad, but a newly installed helicopter landing pad may have helped save a man’s life Monday.

On Oct. 10, a construction worker working on a home in Rim Trails fell some 27 feet from a ladder, sustaining life-threatening injuries, said Whispering Pines Fire Chief Ron Sattelmaier, who is also chair of the Northern Gila County Arizona Fire Chiefs Association.

Within 40 minutes of receiving the call, Whispering Pines firefighters had the man loaded on to a Native Air helicopter and headed to a Valley trauma center.

With critical injuries like these, every minute counts, Sattelmaier said.

Luckily, crews could use a newly installed helipad at the C.C. Cragin Hydro Facility — located at the end of Phase 1

of the pipeline project. The Salt River Project installed the helipad in April as safety protection for SRP employees, said Jeff Lane, with SRP Media Relations.

As a benefit to the Whispering Pines Fire District, SRP made the helipad available to land medical helicopters in emergencies.

In an email to SRP’s hydro group, Sattelmaier expressed his appreciation to SRP and the individual who authorized the construction of the helipad and thanked “SRP and their commitment to supporting public safety in this remote part of northern Gila County.”

Without the helipad, they would have had to airlift the man from the Beaver Valley helipad, some 20 to 30 minutes away, Sattelmaier said.

Sattelmaier learned Tuesday that the man had survived the fall.

Forest Service will set thousands of acres on fire Two new fires will generate smoke, but also forest benefits by

Controlled burns from more than 3,000 acres of new fires will generate smoke throughout Rim Country throughout the week of Oct. 17-20, according to Tonto National Forest fire specialists.

The deliberately set fires will add to the smoke and benefit to the forest produced by several ongoing fires, started by lightning during the monsoon and still burning fitfully in the fire-adapted ponderosa pine forests.

The still-active wildfires and controlled burns include the 17,000-acre Williams Ranger District Fire in the Kaibab National Forest, the 3,800-acre Pinchot Fire in the Coconino National Forest, the 6,000-acre North Kaibab prescribed fire, the 3,200-acre Fulton Fire on the face of the Mogollon Rim in the Tonto National Forest, the 2,000acre Sam Jim Fire in the ApacheSitgreaves National Forests, the 1,335acre Ord Fire and the 14,500-acre Fuller Fire in Grand Canyon National Park.

The cheerful news releases from the Forest Service on the progress of nearly a dozen large fires scattered across Northern Arizona underscores the dramatic change in philosophy about wildfire. Once, the Forest Service prided itself on putting out most fires within 24 hours. Now, fire managers

carefully juggle the risk and the weather conditions — letting low-intensity fire spread whenever possible.

Not only do such fires thin the overgrown forest and remove tons of deadwood from the ground on every acre, they dramatically reduce the risk of a forest-destroying, town-consuming crown fire during the hot dry months.

The new controlled burns this weekend near Rim Country will nonetheless probably produce enough smoke to alarm many residents and perhaps cause problems for people with respiratory conditions.

Fire crews will stop setting the fires by 3:30 each day to minimize the smoke impact, but urge motorists to watch for smoke and slow down to protect fire crews using the roads.

Smoke may persist through Tuesday, Oct. 25.

Fire specialists will conduct a 1,262-acre broadcast fire treatment in the Pyeatt Draw area south of Forest Road 198, west of Forest Road 433, and north of Pyeatt Draw Creek on Monday, Oct. 17 through Thursday, Oct. 20.

Allen, Bagley vie for state Senate seat Sawmill TheaTreS by

Peter Aleshire

roundup editor

A chaotic presidential race, a sprinkling of controversies and a strong challenger may this year test Senator Sylvia Allen’s grip on her District 6 seat, which runs from Flagstaff to the Arizona-New Mexico border.

The staunchly conservative Snowflake Republican and former Navajo County supervisor faces Verde Valley Democrat Nikki Bagley, a community college instructor, wine industry expert and former Jerome council member.

The district has a roughly 7 percentage point advantage for Republicans, according to the analysis done by the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission, based on registration and past voting patterns among independents. Registration is 38 percent Republican, 29 percent Democratic and 33 percent Independent.

Allen has weathered controversy in the past stemming from her unconventional views, sometimes earning national headlines. She has in the past said she believes the Earth is only 6,000 years old, objected to the teaching of evolution in schools, seemed to support the idea that the contrails from jets are part of a government conspiracy and insisted that the buildup of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will prevent mass starvation by ensuring plants grow faster.

However, the personable lawmaker four years ago easily defeated a challenge from former state lawmaker Tom O’Halleran running as an Independent. He’s now running for Congress as a Democrat against Republican Paul Babeu in a huge district that includes all of southern Gila County.

The irrepressible Sen. Allen has brushed off criticism in the past and continues to amass one of the most conservative voting records in the Legislature.

She pushed a bill that allows lawmakers to file a complaint against cities and counties who they think are violating state law, prompting the possible cutoff of state funds without a court ruling. This brought her into conflict with the Snowflake Town Council, which had approved a medical marijuana growing operation in a town devastated economically by the closure of timber mills.

She provoked some criticism in Rim Country by supporting the Legislature’s ban on photo radar, which cost Star Valley nearly $1 million annually in revenue.

In her current term, the LDS Church member and member of a pioneering Arizona family has suggested the state would be better off if the state could require people to attend church.

She also voted to remove restrictions on carrying concealed weapons in public buildings and near schools.

She heads the powerful Senate Education Committee, where she has generally opposed the implementation of national academic standards and favored measures that would allow parents to receive state support for shifting their children to private schools.

She’s part owner of a charter school, but never attended college.

— and their young son Ryan.

She has stressed education and economic development in her campaign, saying the two issues remain inextricably linked.

She said she got interested in politics when she started lobbying for several legislative changes that would make it easier for a vineyard to set up a wine-tasting operation to sell wine directly to the public.

“If it weren’t for key bills that passed in 1979 and 2005, the Arizona wine industry wouldn’t be the economic driver that it is today — contributing over $50 million to the Verde Valley economy alone,” she said.

As a lawmaker, she wants to find a way for the Arizona Commerce Authority to support small businesses with tax credits and loans. She said that state lawmakers should identify emerging, high-growth industries — like winemaking — and provide support with incentives and state preferences for Arizona companies.

Much of that growth depends on an investment in education.

She criticized the Legislature for not supporting education and Sen. Allen for recent statements suggesting the state can’t afford to move much beyond 48th in per-student funding nationally.

Bagley said Proposition 123 wasn’t a solution, since it restored only 18 percent of the funding for schools cut during the recession — and most of that from state land trust funds earmarked for schools anyway.

Bagley said the state must also reverse deep cuts in spending on universities and community colleges.

However, on her website and in various campaign appearances in Rim Country she has generally not detailed how the state could raise the billions necessary to significantly increase education spending. Arizona spends about $7,200 per student, which is $3,500 less than the national average. Boosting spending to the national average would cost about $3.5 billion annually, just for K-12 schools.

Tonto Basin residents in race for school, fire boards SCHOOL BOARD by

“It’s so divided right now. I don’t recall this happening before,” she said.

“I can add to the diversity and representation of the senior community that has felt they have not received (representation) as related to the school.”

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

In the scorching summer month of July, the Tonto Basin Elementary School governing board faced a heated crowd sizzling over the proposed increases in property taxes to cover the capital needs of the school.

(Please see: http://www.paysonroundup.com/news/2016/jul/19/irateresidents-prompt-tonto-schools-backtax-hike/) The district ultimately cut the increase in half, but the topic still dominates the campaign for three seats on the school board and divides the community.

Tonto Basin voters will have to decide which three of the six candidates to vote for on the Nov. 8 ballot.

The three incumbents, Dorothy France, Laura Hartnell and Dennis Wilbanks face challengers Stormi Ewing-Thorpe, Nancy Gassaway and Twila Chambers.

Stormi Ewing-Thorpe

Ewing-Thorpe has deep roots. “I’m a seventh generation Tonto Basin resident,” she said.

Her grandfather, George, served on the Tonto Basin School Board for many years presiding on the board when former superintendent Johnny Ketchem vastly improved the school’s facilities.

Ewing-Thorpe went to the Tonto Basin school and her two young children now attend — one in kindergarten, the other in pre-school. “I’ve always loved the school,” she said.

“You know who is teaching your kids.

There’s the Christmas program and the Halloween Carnival.”

Those community touches motivated Ewing-Thorpe to run for the board.

“I want to see ... that the school keeps the community background,” she said. “When we were growing up, we had respect for the community and so the community put back into the school.”

She believes if the community is involved and engaged with the school, they will see the value in keeping the school going.

“That’s what I’m hoping I can do as well — make sure our kids have a school and employees have a place to go. That our community is informed and not scared about what going on.”

As an employee of the fire depart-

Dennis Wilbanks ment, Ewing-Thorpe understands that taxes are going up everywhere and she feels for the retirees living in the area.

She said she hopes to use her ability to arbitrate to make a difference.

“I’ve had a lot of people ask me what I would do differently,” she said.

“I’ve always been the mediator in my family. There’s always two sides to every story. I’m hoping to be the bridge with the community and the school.”

Twila Chambers

Chambers has lived full-time in Tonto Basin for the last four years.

“We moved here because my husband is a fisherman,” she said.

Chambers did not rest when they moved to the Basin, however. She spent part of the 2013-14 school year teaching middle school and the next year teaching fourth and fifth grades.

A native-born Arizonan, Chambers grew up in Bisbee then spent 45 years in education between Phoenix and Oregon in schools big and small.

“I’ve been to beaucoup board meetings of all different sizes of schools,” she said.

The former educator worked as a middle and elementary school teacher and as a principal.

Her daughter graduated in a class of 12, so Chambers is aware of the nuances of a small rural district.

“You never know whose toes you are stepping on,” she said.

Chambers believes the Tonto Basin school board needs someone with her education background to help speak for the teachers and employees of the district.

“I just think there are many things that come before the board that would be helped by someone who understands how it runs on the other side,” she said. “That’s my main reason for running.”

Chambers also hopes to get the community involved and awareness of the school district’s needs.

She serves as the vice president of the local Kiwanis club, works in their thrift store and sits on the board orga-

nizing the Halloween Carnival, but she notices the school is not discussed by many in the community.

“The school is hardly mentioned by anybody,” she said.

Chambers hopes to change that.

Nancy Gassaway

Gassaway has lived full time in the Tonto Basin for the last 25 years. Prior to that, she spent many years as a part-time resident.

Gassaway married an Air Force pilot and as a result, she and her children experienced many different types of schools as they moved around the world.

“One child born was in England and one in Guam,” she said. “My children were all raised in the military.

I was very involved in my children’s schools.”

Her birth family also had many educators including two college professors along with teachers.

When her husband passed away, Gassaway came home to Tucson and worked for more than 40 years as an area manager for a large national company.

“I was responsible for negotiating fair, obtainable budgets for multi-million dollar stores and responsible for ensuring that budgets were met,” Gassaway wrote on the Gila County Schools Superintendent’s website.

Gassaway’s main issue revolves around the recent property tax.

“Recent actions that have adversely affected so many of our seniors who make up the largest percentage of our population is a wakeup call for our entire community to be more involved in what is happening in our wonderful school,” she wrote.

According to the 2010 census, Tonto Basin’s average age is 65 with only 1,424 full-time residents in the area.

Gassaway plans on using her background to serve the students and community of Tonto Basin to bring them together to make the school the best it can be while respecting the needs of the mostly senior community.

Wilbanks was born and raised in Payson and has lived in Tonto Basin for 12 years. He currently has five children.

He has not only served on the Tonto Basin School Board, but also as a board member of the Tumbleweed Center for Youth and Development, a nonprofit organization offering emergency housing, counseling, training, job placement life skills, and education for homeless youth in Phoenix and Tempe.

Wilbanks has received training to serve as a non-]profit board member through Cox Communications, Tumbleweed Center for Youth a& Development, and the Arizona School Board Association.

His main reason for running for the TB school board is to strengthen the ties of the school with the community.

“I am known as a servant leader and have a great desire to see our students, teacher and school not only be successful, but have strong ties and relationships within our community,” Wilbanks wrote.

Laura Hartnell

Hartnell hopes to win a seat to the Tonto Basin School Board after serving for the past two years as an appointed member.

Hartnell is a native Arizonan and lived in Tonto Basin for the last 16 years. She runs a successful mortgage business in the Payson area.

Hartnell decided to run due to encouragement from friends in the community.

“Although my children are grown, I have always stayed involved with activities at Tonto Basin school and have the utmost respect for the teachers and staff,” she wrote. “I truly believe that the school is the ‘heartbeat’ of Tonto Basin.”

Hartnell has concerns, however, that the turnover of administrators and teachers has caused the school to struggle.

With the hiring of the new superintendent, Hartnell hopes things will calm down for the benefit of the students, but she believes if re-elected,

she can continue to make a difference.

“There is still a lot of work to be done and additional improvements are in process,” wrote Hartnell. “We are ready to roll up our sleeves and get to work. It would be a privilege to continue my tenure as a board member and be part of the exciting changes ahead.”

Dorothy France

France, a native of Arizona, has lived in Tonto Basin for the last 12 years.

She spent her career at the state’s Children’s Services unit working with dependent children.

“This allowed involvement with many school districts to assure these children were receiving the educational support they needed for success,” she wrote.

France’s commitment to children filtered into her personal life as well.

She adopted and raised four children and now is raising a grandson as her son.

France says she has a strong desire and calling to serve her community. “... but especially in areas that support and benefit the children in their educational skills for preparing for their future achievements,” she wrote.

France said it has been her pleasure to serve on the Tonto Basin School Board for the last four years, as well as filling in the final months of former board member Pat Taylor’s term.

She has learned much during her tenure from the Arizona School Boards Association conferences that has helped her remain current on state and federal policy changes and laws.

Understanding The Home Seller Property Disclosures.

When people buy a home they have a right to be informed of the problems that they may face on the property and issues that the home previously experienced. However, as a seller it can be difficult to know what is required information to disclosed. Nobody wants to appear misleading, especially when it can impact a sale and making sure all the proper information is finding its way to the buyer is imperative to make the deal go through.

What Needs To Be Disclosed? - Disclosures are not handled at the Federal level except for the Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act, which requires disclosures of lead paint if it was constructed before 1978. Other possible disclosures include any legal issues with the property title, mold and water leaks, problems with the plumbing or sewage on the property, and issues with the roofing, air conditioning and heating systems.

Disclosure Laws Differ From State To State - While it is best to err on the side of caution when dealing with home seller disclosures, every state's laws are different and some are more stringent than others. A seller may believe they are disclosing everything that is required and still find themselves on the wrong side of a lawsuit. When deciding what to disclose to a buyer it's best to always consult a local real estate agent. Any professional will know the specific laws to their area and will be sure to let you know if you have left something vital off the list.

When Disclosing Can Be A Positive - All disclosures are not created equal and in some situations they can even work in the favor of the seller. When the seller tells the buyer about an issue from the home's past that has been repaired it can be a huge benefit. Not only is the buyer being informed about the home's history, they are being shown that the seller was a responsible home owner who took care of the property and fixed the issues as they came up. This can give buyers a sense of security and confidence that the home was well maintained. If you are in the process of selling your home but can't figure out what you need to disclosure legally and what you should disclose morally, speak with a local real estate agent. They will be able to walk you through the process so nothing is left off the list.

Legislative race centers on support for education by

Peter Aleshire

roundup editor

Incumbent Republican representatives Brenda Barton (R-Payson) and Bob Thorpe (R-Flagstaff) this year face a long-shot challenge from a single Democrat — former school superintendent and long-time naval reservist Alex Martinez.

The sprawling district has a roughly 7 percent Republican advantage and stretches from Flagstaff, through Gila County and the White Mountains all the way to the New Mexico border.

But with Arizona suddenly in play in the Presidential election and polls showing a large majority of voters in the state favoring more support for education, Martinez hopes he can beat the odds.

a website promoting his campaign. He has offered persistent and broad support for K-12 schools and universities, but hasn’t indicated where he would get the large sums needed to move Arizona out of the basement when it comes to funding for K-12 schools and universities.

Barton and Thorpe, on the other hand, have accumulated a long and sometimes colorful history of support for conservative causes and legislation, sometimes earning national headlines for some of their more controversial stances.

ings and penalizing cities and towns that tried to adopt more stringent restrictions than the state. She has supported other measures that would penalize cities and counties with possible loss of state-shared funding if they adopt any measure an investigator for the state attorney general’s office considers unconstitutional.

She has consistently won high marks for her votes from the American Conservative Union, the National Rifle Association, the Arizona Small Business Association and antitax groups like Americans for Prosperity.

On the other hand, she consistently ranks near zero in the rankings released by education, child welfare and environmental groups.

Brenda Barton Alex Martinez

The Democrats this year put up a single candidate for the two seats, in hopes a strategy called “single shot” voting can force a turnover of at least one of the seats. That could work if people supporting Martinez voted for him, but left their second choice for a representative in the House blank.

An Arizona native, Martinez, 69, lives in Flagstaff and got his B.S. in child development and doctorate in education from the University of Arizona. He worked for 36 years in education as a teacher, principal and superintendent of schools. In addition, he served for more than 30 years in the U.S. Naval Reserve, retiring as a captain.

He said concern about the state’s faltering education system motivated him to run, with per-student funding at 48th nationally as well as recent rankings as one of the worst states in which to pursue a teaching career.

“We must ensure that all of our schools, rural or urban, have the resources they need to teach our children well.

Education is the key to economic growth and attracting new businesses to our state.”

He has criticized both Barton and Thorpe for voting for the deepest education cuts in the nation while at the same time supporting additional corporate tax cuts.

Martinez has also criticized them both for supporting a lawsuit seeking to reverse the state’s decision to expand the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System to provide coverage for people making up to 138 percent of a poverty level wage, an expansion that extended coverage to about 300,000 residents, paid for with federal funding through the Affordable Care Act. Thorpe and Barton joined in a lawsuit saying that a hospital fee that more than covered the state’s costs for the expansion was a tax increase, which means it should have required a two-thirds vote of the Legislature.

Some 30 percent of Gila County residents get their health care through AHCCCS, one of the highest percentages in the state.

Martinez said the state should continue coverage for the uninsured through AHCCCS and the Affordable Care Act. “The ACA covers the uninsured with a basic umbrella that includes pre-existing conditions and allows kids to stay on their parent’s insurance until the age of 26. The basic framework is now in place and we need to provide incentives to expand the market place to make sure insurance choices are available for all of our communities.

The Legislature needs to work with our congressional delegation to enact reforms and craft improvements to alleviate some of the issues that have arisen.”

Martinez has made only a handful of appearances in Rim Country or the White Mountains and apparently hasn’t put up

First elected in 2010, Barton now heads the House Agriculture, Water and Lands Committee. Her pioneering family settled in the region in 1870. She spent 20 years working in accounting for the City of Safford before retiring in 2009 and devoting herself to politics.

She became politically active mostly through the so-called Sagebrush Rebellion, a defiance of federal authority by activists in the West. She attended the Western Legislative Academy in Colorado, a hotbed of the movement.

She gained national headlines in 2013 when her Facebook posts in response to a federal shutdown of the Grand Canyon when the Republican House balked at adopting either a budget or a continuing resolution to keep the government running. At that time, she compared Barak Obama to Adolph Hitler, which spurred a social media storm and national news coverage.

Her term has been much quieter in the past two years, overshadowed by the abrupt loss of her husband and long-time political partner to illness. She frequently appears at the Tea Party and other Republican Party functions in Payson, genial, largely unflappable, resolutely conservative and quick to criticize the federal government, Democrats and the “progressive” agenda.

She established Payson as her residence at a rental property after the 2010 census prompted a shift in district lines. The Arizona Republic at one point reported that she continued to live in Safford, which fell outside of the new district lines.

In the Legislature, she has focused on land management and water issues, in part reflecting her chairmanship of the Natural Resources Committee.

She has worked on trying to develop funding mechanisms for local jurisdictions to build water projects and pay for forest clearing and thinning efforts. She also has spent a lot of time pushing for legislation to direct state agencies to ignore federal laws with which they disagree and challenge federal management of its lands. In the last session, she also supported an effort to relieve towns from the need to comply with the longstanding state groundwater management act – put into place as a condition of getting billions of dollars in federal money to build the Central Arizona Project.

She has defended her votes to cut education funding, placing most of the blame on the high percentage of Arizona land controlled by federal government. She maintains the state can’t do anything to increase school spending significantly until it can gain control of federal lands.

She has also remained a staunch supporter of gun rights, for instance sponsoring legislation that would have made it difficult for cities and counties to keep people from bringing guns into public build-

Bob Thorpe

The tall, endlessly cheerful, rail-thin Thorpe got his political start as a Flagstaff Tea Party activist before winning office in 2012. He has focused on state sovereignty issues, insisting the federal government has usurped state authority in many areas – especially land management and environmental regulation. He has authored a steady stream of proposed laws to nullify federal authority. The measures generally die somewhere in the process, but several have been vetoed or overturned. However, his persistence and creativity in finding new lines of attack have made him something of a national star in the sovereignty movement.

Thorpe also made a visit to the compound of Cliven Bundy in Nevada, when a group of ranchers and their supporters stood off the federal government at gunpoint in a dispute triggered by Bundy’s failure for years to pay his grazing fees for the use of federal lands.

Thorpe said he reminded him of “Tienanmen Square,” where Chinese protesters for a time stood off Chinese tanks. Bundy and his sons are currently in prison awaiting trial on various charges, including those stemming from the subsequent occupation of a federal wildlife refuge headquarters.

Thorpe has provoked his share of controversies, including one odd effort to stage a demonstration for lawmakers on state grounds for the maker of bulletproof vests. He has sponsored issues that would prevent state officials from enforcing any federal laws and worked to block the introduction of endangered species, like the Mexican Grey Wolf.

He has also launched an effort to rein in prosecutors’ abilities to seize property from people accused – but not convicted – of certain crimes.

He consistently wins high ratings from groups advocating gun rights, tax cuts, abortion restrictions, tougher immigration provisions and other conservative causes. Just as consistently, he ranks at the very bottom when it comes to groups advocating for education, child welfare and the environment.

Like Barton, he has fought consistently against the expansion of health care eligibility, university funding, K-12 funding, national academic standards and tax increases.

Along with Barton, he has supported repealing existing penalties and disclosure requirements for corporate and special interest dark money spending. He has also supported a variety of measures intended to reduce the possibility of voter fraud, including things like same day registration and ballot bundling. Studies have found little evidence of voter fraud in Arizona and elsewhere. And court cases have overturned similar measures in other states.

Veteran lawmen in a rematch Incumbent sheriff faces off against longtime deputy by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

Challenger Darrell Stubbs has renewed his election challenge of Gila County Sheriff Adam Shepherd, with a charge of spending too much money on administration and not enough on deputies on patrol.

The county covers 4,800 square miles, a huge sweep of territory for a staff of 165 in the sheriff’s office. Deputies cover everything from Globe to Pine and runs two jails. In Gila County, the sheriff’s office provides protection for Star Valley under a contract and for unincorporated communities like Pine, Christopher Creek, East Verde Estates, Mesa del Caballo and others.

After four years on the job, Shepherd is once more facing a match-up with Darrell Stubbs, who ran against Shepherd in the last election.

Both men spent most of their law enforcement careers in the GCSO. Stubbs worked as a deputy in the jails, schools, narcotics task force and on patrol. Shepherd worked his way up the ranks, from deputy to sergeant, lieutenant and undersheriff before winning the sheriff’s seat after John Armer retired.

Armer served for three terms as a Democrat. Former Sheriff Lyman Peace also served as a Democrat. But since then the political center of gravity has shifted to the Republican north and Shepherd won election as a Republican, having in the past switched his affiliation. Stubbs changed his registration from Republican to Independent so he could face Shepherd in the general election.

Stubbs said that he was 10 when his brother died in Vietnam. He vowed then do something in his life that would make his brother proud. “As a School Resource Officer and parent, I told the students I believe there are only two kinds of people in the world. You are either part of the solution or you are part of the problem.

I believe that going into law enforcement placed me in the category as part of the solution.

That is why I am running for Sheriff.”

For his part after four years in office, Shepherd says he has a lot more to accomplish.

“Certainly there is an overabundance of tragedy associated with law enforcement, but there is also satisfaction when

something you have done really makes a difference in someone’s life,” he said. “I have been able to work with people during the worst or best days of their lives, and I have really developed a better sense of humanity, which I don’t think people outside of public safety really experience.”

Stubbs says it is time for a change and the county needs a leader willing to look outside the box to turn the office around.

Stubbs’ chief platform: More deputies in the field.

Gila County reports indicate the department has 31 deputies and 15 administrators, he says.

“The number of deputies that we have working on the streets are not substantially enough to cover the entire county, whereas the number of administrators highly exceed the amount of supervision needed,” Stubbs wrote. “The solution is more deputes on the street and fewer administrators.”

Shepherd disagrees with Stubbs’ numbers and says the 51 patrol deputies includes lieutenants and sergeants.

Sergeants work patrol on a regular basis while most lieutenants serve more time in the office.

Stubbs said he does not believe residents are getting the service they deserve, or pay for. As a result, residents complain about poor service. They complain to him they rarely see deputies on patrol and don’t like how the department handles investigations, Stubbs said.

Stubbs promises a 100-day plan if he takes office.

Shepherd said he has already made changes, including better public outreach. He started posting daily activities on a Facebook page and created an annual report detailing the number of drug seizures, training hours and statistics.

Shepherd said he also puts a lot of time and energy into employees, with better training and recruitment. He added the number of things that go into making a good employee is “mind boggling.”

Shepherd tried to standardize uniforms and firearms and training as well.

“Needless to say, the reputation of the agency rides on the performance of the employees. One bad experience can destroy a number of good deeds and the only way to minimum

Darrell Stubbs Sheriff Adam Shepherd • His grandfather built a cabin in Whispering Pines • Started with Gila County Sheriff at 22 years old • Payson Police Department reserves • Graduated from Northern Arizona University and the police management school at Northwestern • Deputy • Sergeant • Lieutenant • Undersheriff • Sheriff this is to standardize how we developed the employees across the board,” he said.

Sarah White, GCSO’s chief administrative officer, asked Stubbs Tuesday night how he plans to pay for more deputies to put on the street.

Stubbs said the department doesn’t need both a chief deputy (Johnny Sanchez) and an undersheriff (Michael Johnson).

He would eliminate one position and use the money to hire more officers. He would cut the bloated administration and put more deputies in the field.

Shepherd said it costs a lot more to hire a deputy than an administrator. He said three administrative positions pay for hiring and training one deputy. If you take away administration positions, however, things around the office can’t get done.

In the meantime, the office keeps losing deputies to better paying jobs around the state.

Shepherd said the county spends $100,000 to hire, train and equip a new deputy. But Stubbs said the department must do more to hire the right deputies and then hang onto them – with things like better insurance and treatment.

Shepherd said he works tirelessly address such issues. “We can be the least paid and worst equipped police agency in the state, but we don’t have to act like it,” he said.

Stubbs said he wants to improve the way deputies handle calls, something he sees as

lacking. The department must deliver “better services by having better response times and the right attitude and training,” Stubbs wrote.

Shepherd says he has already acted to improve services, including; • Pulling money from the patrol budget to keep school resource officers after the state dropped funding.

• Merging the Globe sheriff’s dispatch center with the Globe Police Department and the Payson dispatch center with the Payson Police Department to deliver faster service and improve coordination between the agencies.

• Reorganizing the county’s detectives into one squad after the drug unit was cut from three to two detectives. Now all detectives work drug cases because it remains one of the county’s biggest problems.

• Setting up a group that investigates all complaints against the office and deputies, separate from the patrol division. The group investigates all complaints, increasing accountability and transparency.

• Added mobile data terminals in deputy vehicles.

Stubbs says if elected, he will implement his 100-day plan (which he did not outline) and make common-sense decisions that need to be made to get the office back on track. He plans to require all employees who work for the office to live in Gila County and in some cases in the communities they patrol.

PROP. 206: Minimum wage Payson seeks citizens by

Teresa McQuerrey

roundup staff reporter

There were more speakers than voters in the room at the Arizona Secretary of State’s program on the two ballot measures voters will decide in the Nov. 8 General Election.

The program was at 11 a.m., Tuesday, Oct. 11 at Messinger’s.

A single Rim Country voter attended.

Anabel Maldonado with Arizona Health Working Families, spoke about Proposition 206, which would raise the minimum wage from $8.05 per hour in 2016 to $12 per hour by 2020. It also establishes the right to earn paid sick time.

The wage would rise to $10 starting in 2017. It would entitle employees to earn an hour of paid sick time for every 30 hours worked, with limits based on the size of the employer based on the businesses gross revenue in the past year.

Should a company have fewer than 15 employees, it could limit sick time to 24 hours per worker. For businesses with more than 15 employees, an individual can accrue or use a minimum of 40 hours of paid sick time. Conditions eligible for sick time include physical or mental illness; care of a family member; a public health emergency; or absence due to domestic violence, sexual violence, abuse or stalking. The proposition would also prohibit various forms of retaliation against the employee for exercising any rights under the law.

If an employee doesn’t use the accrued sick time by the end of the year, the employer may let the worker carry the

time forward or pay for the unused time. An employee need not be paid for their unused sick time.

An employer may require reasonable documentation for an employee’s use of paid sick time.

Maldonado more than 270,000 voters signed the petitions to get the measure on the Nov. 8 ballot.

To see the publicity pamphlet information go online to www.arizona.vote.

Most of the debate about raising the minimum wage centers on whether the increase would actually hurt low-income workers by drying up the supply of jobs and increasing the unemployment rate.

Some 600 economists including seven Nobel prize winners urged Congress to raise the minimum wage nationally, citing studies showing cities and towns and states and countries that raised the minimum wage experienced little or no increase in unemployment. The studies suggest higher wages at among low-income workers did have a modest stimulatory effect on the economy.

Other studies suggest that a higher minimum wage might benefit employers by reducing the costs of employee turnover and training.

The minimum wage has risen from $3.35 per hour in 1981 to $7.25 per hour currently. The minimum wage would have to have risen to $11 an hour to equal the buying power it had in 1970.

The National Employment Law Project examined the impact on employment of every hike in the minimum wage since 1938 and found little

impact on the employment rate.

After about two-thirds of the increases, the unemployment rate actually declined in the following year.

Nonetheless, many business groups in the state have opposed the measure – especially restaurants where workers get a lower-than-minimum wage salary, but rely on tips for much of their income.

One study by Perdue University researchers suggested that boosting the minimum wage for industries with many minimum wage workers – like restaurants – could boost prices bout about 4 percent.

That study also projected a possible reducing in the number of workers as employers sought to control costs.

Pine school board election seeks to calm chaos Three incumbents unopposed, but three newcomers seek two seats by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

The Pine-Strawberry Elementary School District rocked with controversy in June when its Superintendent/ Principal Cody Barlow resigned due to ‘bullying and nepotism’ by the school board.

At the same time, Dave Prechtel and Bob Horne, two of the board members, resigned with a recall petition in circulation.

All three said the current incumbents made working for the PSESD impossible.

The three incumbents that remained after the resignations, Helen Palmer, Jessica Barnett and Margaret Parker are all now running unopposed for their four-year term seats in the election on Nov. 8.

The two seats abandoned by Prechtel and Horne, have drawn three challengers, Larry Hartman, Michael Ward and Rosina French.

All three challengers say they have a deep sense of commitment to the community and feel they bring value to the positions through their past experiences.

Larry Hartman

Hartman has five children, a few of whom attend the Pine-Strawberry school district currently.

“I have a stake that they have the best education they can,” he said.

Hartman has lived full time in Pine

for the past four years but had a second-home here for years. Neighbors and friends have recognized his leadership qualities and asked him to run for the school board.

“They expressed an interest in me running,” he said.

Harman has a degree in computer science and experience working in management for technology companies. He now works remotely for a tech company.

He said his past has given him the training to approach a situation with objectivity.

“I bring a neutral kind of objective approach to any situation,” he said.

If elected, Hartman hopes he can foster parent and community involvement in the school.

“In the board (meetings) they have spoken about getting the parents involved,” he said.

Michael Ward

Ward has lived in Pine for 33 years and works as the pastor of the First Baptist Church and a nurse with Banner Health.

He also served on the PSESD board for two years 2012-2014, when he was appointed to fill a vacated position.

Now he’d like to return.

“I was formerly on the school board, now I’m thinking I would like to go back and work with the new superintendent,” he said.

Ward’s greatest concern has to do with the school’s environment.

Peter Aleshire/Roundup

Helen Palmer, Jessica Barnett and Margaret Parker (seated) have operated as a three-person Pine School Board ever since the abrupt resignation of the principal/superintendent and two board members. Linda O’Dell (standing) is now the superintendent. Three candidates — Larry Hartman, Michael Ward and Rosina French, are contending to fill the two empty seats.

“In the area of achievement, academics, social abilities, even athletics,” he said, “I think they need to grow in character. It comes with how they treat each other.”

Ward would like to address bullying and raise the bar for academics.

Rosina French

French discovered she loved and wished to serve the hamlet of Pine when she and her husband purchased a cabin in 2008.

“The weekends kept getting longer

and longer,” she said - until her husband decided to take early retirement and they moved up to Pine full time.

French has since thrown herself into volunteer work, but that is keeping with her background.

Her career was in banking, but in small community banks where she encouraged the business and its employees to get into donating time to the community.

“I have a strong sense of community,” she said, “I come from a long line of doing volunteer work.”

Currently, French volunteers with the Arizona Donor network. She also volunteers closer to home with the local Take Pride Project in Pine.

“We do things for the community like pick up trash, plant flowers in front of the Post Office and put up park benches,” she said..

But it was her volunteering in the school running art classes that she discovered she wanted to do something more.

“I wanted to do something on a policy level,” said French.

Students who aced AZMerit test by

Peter Aleshire

roundup editor

Payson Unified School District this week honored scores of high school students who aced the AZMerit test, the state’s new, rigorous standards test.

“Thank you for allowing us to celebrate 165 Payson Unified School District students who have shown academic excellence,” said Student Achievement Director Brenda Case.

The students all ranked as “highly proficient” on the grade-level skills test based on tough national standards intended to test critical thinking skills and ensure Arizona students can compete with students nationally.

The district engraved the students’ names on a set of plaques, which will hang in the board room, the latest effort by the district to recognize the positive accomplishments of students, faculty, staff and the members of the public who support education.

“We plan on decorating this place with the names of high-achieving students,” Case told the school board. “We need to celebrate their hard work and accomplishments — the love of challenge and the

resilience in the face of setbacks.”

Students statewide have struggled in the past three years to meet the higher standards of the AZMerit test, which has replaced the Arizona-only AIMS test.

Fewer than half of students statewide have managed to meet the standards and far fewer have scored as “highly proficient.”

Generally, the students in the elementary grades in Payson have matched or beaten the state average when it comes to meeting the new AZMerit standards. Students in middle school and then high school have generally fallen behind the state average.

The state is currently reviewing and overhauling the standards and has held off using the scores to rank schools or determine state funding.

However, the meeting on Monday honored the district’s top students when it comes to mastering the standards.

Several dozen high school students who ranked as highly proficient attended the meeting, including students who topped the scoreboard in both English and math.

James Alexander MacLean (1937-2016)

James Alexander MacLean, of Strawberry, Ariz., passed away October 7, 2016 at his home in Strawberry.

“Jim” was born to Alexander and Ruby MacLean of Price, Utah on June 21, 1937. He attended school at Carbon High School, after graduating he enlisted in the Navy in 1954.

“Mac,” as he was called by his shipmates, had a very distinguished career in the Navy.

He rose in rank quickly, at one point being the youngest, in naval history, to ever be promoted to Chief. He served his country proudly in both war and peace times. He retired in 1976 with over 22 years of service. Shortly after entering the service he married Karolyn Janett Olson of Wellington, Utah. Upon retiring from the Navy, Jim and Karolyn moved to Wellington, Utah. Jim held several jobs while there including, Canal Master, Purchasing Agent, and Coal Analysis. He also served as the city’s Justice of the Peace for several years. They then moved to Strawberry, Arizona where they spent the remaining years of their lives. Jim and

Karolyn were married 55 years until her passing in July of 2010. Jim enjoyed many activities throughout his life including camping, fishing, hunting and playing keno. He especially enjoyed his Friday “Bucket Brigade” meetings at the local bar. There he loved to swap “No BS” stories with friends and family while enjoying a cold beverage.

Jim is survived by sisters Sharon Johnson and Helen Stowel and her husband Art, Jim’s four children, James R MacLean and his wife Evylen, Cynthia S. Ackerman and her husband Charles, Debra A. Weber, and Douglas A. MacLean and his wife Teresa, 9 grandchildren, 11 great grandchildren, and one great great grandchild, and his companion Irma Kay Weber.

Services will be held at Mitchells Funeral Home in Price, Utah, Saturday October 15, 2016 at 10:00am.

Interment will be at the Wellington Cemetery in Wellington, Utah. The family has requested that in lieu of flowers you can make a donation to the VFW, Post 2379 in Price, Utah.

He spent countless hours helping with the Dude Fire, in which he organized shelter for the evacuees in homes and motels, as well as coordinating firefighter support units, Red Cross and other major organizations. The second event was his involvement with the 1404th Army National Guard Unit in the Operation Desert Storm.

Ray played an instrumental role in helping “take care of their families,” while the troops were in the Persian Gulf and expediting the 1404th’s return from the Persian Gulf following the war. The 1404th presented Ray with a 24 karat gold medallion from Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm as a thank you gift. Ray was also awarded THE ARIZONA DISTINGUISHED SERVICE METAL and was given the Honorary Rank of CAPTAIN, in the Arizona National Guard by Brigadier General Peter D. Tosi, Jr. During his 50+ years at Sunset Oil Company, Ray was a founding member and past president of the Intermountain Oil Marketers Association and the Independent Petroleum Marketing Association.

Ray served on the Phoenix Fire Safety Board, Phoenix High Rise Board, Maricopa County Pollution Control Board, the United States E.P.A. Advisory Board and was a charter member of the Roosevelt Rough Riders in connection with the Boy Scouts of America.

A Visitation will be held beginning at 10 a.m., Saturday, October 22, 2016 in the Chapel at Greenwood Memory Lawn Mortuary, 719 N. 27th Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85009 with funeral services beginning at 11 a.m. followed by a reception, in Raymond’s honor, in the Hospitality Room at Greenwood.

Moina Shaiq raised her family in Fremont, Calif. and ran a business there for 17 years.

After the tragedy of 9/11 and the fear-based mistrust of American Muslims that followed, she felt the need to reach out to begin a dialog in group settings about the practice of her faith.

In an informal setting, members of Payson Amnesty and the public will explore questions about the Islamic faith and move toward understanding the experiences of American Muslims. There is no admission charge and refreshments will be

PAYSON ROUNDUP

SPORTS It’s all on the line now Football Matchup •What: Homecoming Football Game •When: 7 o’clock tonight •Opponent: No. 6 Winslow (5-2) •At stake: Payson may need a win to keep its playoff hopes alive They’re 2-5, but nobody wants to play them. That’s because this Payson High football team scares opponents.

You can bet neither Show Low’s Cougars nor Snowflake’s Lobos want to see the Longhorns in the playoffs after barely escaping fierce battles with them the last two weeks.

But the Longhorns more than long for a a game rematch if they can put three consecutive heartbreaking defeats behind them and focus on the task Keith Morris at hand — qualifying for the 3A state playoffs.

The season’s on the line heading into tonight’s homecoming showdown with No. 6 Winslow (5-2).

Sixteen teams qualify for the Class 3A state playoffs.

Now at No. 19 in the power rankings, the Longhorns need to move up three spots. But the Longhorns are one of just two teams in the top 20 with a losing record. The other, Chinle (3-4) occupies the No. 16 spot Payson covets.

The Horns must jump over them, as well as No. 17 Tuba City and No. 18 Ganado.

Payson has played the third-toughest schedule in 3A behind only Yuma Catholic and Phoenix Northwest Christian.

And they’ve come close against the last three — Round Valley, Show Low and Snowflake.

They haven’t done that in years.

A successful two-point conversion against Show Low would have ended an eightgame losing streak against the Cougars.

A late touchdown at Snowflake last week would have ended a seven-game skid against the Lobos.

And Payson would now be the talk of the state.

Now that the Longhorns have proven they can compete with the best, they need to take that final step and finish the job.

They need to be the team coming through in the clutch with the game-winning play.

They’ve certainly shown they have a flair for the dramatic, recovering onside kicks the last two weeks and scoring a pair of late touchdowns against Show Low. But they have to switch roles with the Cougars and Lobos and be the team holding the lead in the closing minutes instead of the team needing a Hail Mary touchdown to stun an opponent.

It’s all about execution and believing in yourself.

These Longhorns clearly believe in themselves as the last three games have shown.

If they can find a way to cut down on the 10 penalties for 91 1/2 yards that sabotaged their otherwise strong effort against the Lobos, they should be able to beat a Winslow team that is No. 6 in the power rankings, but has yet to beat a quality opponent.

No. 1 Snowflake routed the Bulldogs 48-0 two weeks ago before Payson nearly beat the Lobos last week.

Wins over Winslow, Blue Ridge then Holbrook will guarantee the Longhorns will be the scariest Halloween outfit around.

Senior moment: Horns notch 1st win by

Keith Morris

roundup sports editor

As four seniors said goodbye to Rumsey Park on Saturday afternoon, the future of Payson High boys soccer said hello.

Freshman Hayden Gibson clinched his fists and yelled “Yeeeeesssss” after banging the ball past the St. Michael goalkeeper at short range to break a scoreless tie with 31 minutes remaining to lift the Longhorns to their first victory of the season in their final home game.

Fittingly, one of the 12th-graders, Daniel Cluff, drew the assist.

Randy Adcock posted the shutout in goal but didn’t have a lot of work because his defense ended most Cardinals’ threats before they got that far and the offense kept the ball in the St. Michael end most of the game.

After starting the year 0-7, it was a nice way to finish the home schedule for the Longhorns and their four seniors — Cluff, Dalton Perkes, David Bullard and Jedediah Buce.

“To see all of them to play good and one of them get an assist in their last home game — that’s a plus,” coach Chris Avakian said of the seniors.

The Longhorns went on to win 2-1 in Holbrook two days later. Avakian said sophomore Cole Tenney scored a goal and an assist, freshman Isaiah Wilcox scored the other goal and sophomore Charlie Francis drew an assist.

Payson is fifth among eight teams in the 2A East Region with one region game remaining

Not bad for a team loaded with nine underclassmen, according to Avakian.

“We have 13- and 14-year olds playing against 18- and 19-year olds,” the coach said. “We knew it was going to be this kind of a season. We’ll take our lumps and remember.”

Spikers killing it heading into rematch by

roundup sports editor

When Payson’s volleyball team shocked top-ranked Snowflake on Sept. 29, it certainly qualified as an upset.

It won’t be quite as shocking if the young Longhorns do it again.

They’ll get the chance to complete a rare season sweep of the mighty Lobos when they travel to Snowflake for the rematch on Tuesday night.

But beating a revenge-fueled Lobo squad in their own gym should prove a bigger challenge than the stunner the Longhorns pulled off a couple of weeks ago. A Snowflake victory leaves the teams tied atop the 3A East standings with three matches remaining (if Snowflake beat Winslow as expected on Wednesday).

“Snowflake’s going to be a battle,” said Payson coach Desirae Burris. “We always expect them to be tough and their home crowd is awesome.”

Speaking of awesome, the Longhorns have been just that this season. Payson enters the showdown on a roll.

The six region champions earn automatic berths in the 16-team state tournament, with the other 10 places determined by the power rankings.

Payson was No. 9 in the power rankings on Wednesday.

The Longhorns have won 18 of the 19 sets they’ve played in the region. The 3-1 win over Snowflake marks the only match the Longhorns have lost a set in.

“They’re playing really well,” Burris said of her players. “They’re playing hard.”

However, with just four seniors on the roster, the Longhorns can still improve.

“They’re playing like little kids,” Burris said. “But I think they’re growing a lot and learning a lot.”

Although another win over the Lobos on Tuesday wouldn’t guarantee the Longhorns a berth in the 16-team state tournament, it would leave them needing only to win two of their remaining three region match-

es to lock up the regional title and an automatic berth.

The Longhorns have just one home match remaining, the senior night contest against Winslow on Oct. 20.

They close the regular season at Blue Ridge on Oct. 25 and at Holbrook on Oct. 27.

The seniors believe this squad has what it takes to finish strong, starting with a win in Snowflake.

“It’d be a huge win,” said senior Delaynee Bowman. “It’ll be tough, but we’re ready and we’re gonna work hard for it.”

aroundthe rim Street Fair to benefit Dupke family Saturday at Moose Lodge This past week has been a whirlwind of news of the political persuasion, of which I am getting pretty tired.

Then we are dealing with a delay in the installation of our kitchen cabinets until this week; that destructive hurricane battering the heck out of the East Coast where most of my relatives now live.

I was biting my fingernails and looking on Facebook to see whether the storm was hitting the coastal areas where my relatives were.

Reminder The memorial service for Bill Dupke is at 10 a.m., Friday, Oct. 14 at the Nazarene Church on Tyler Parkway.

The Hellsgate Fire Department is teaming up with the Moose Lodge #852 in Star Valley to host a benefit Street Fair on Saturday, Oct. 15 in honor of Dupke, who passed to the next phase of his journey to be with the Lord much too early. Bill had fought brain cancer for many years, but I guess He needed a firefighter up

there.

All funds for the street fair, which begins at 2 p.m. at station #21 in Star Valley, will be going to the Dupke family.

Many activities are planned including a bake sale (if you would like to donate baked goods, please leave it at the Star Valley Fire Station or call me at 928-478-9935 and I will come and pick it up), and many games for the kids.

Quote of the week Words of encouragement fan the spark of genius into the flame of achievement.

— Wilfred A. Peterson

Six candidates vie for three seats on Tonto Basin fire board From page 4 including from the Roosevelt area.

The fire district is geographically huge with nine, paid, fulltime and 16 reserve/volunteers answering some 600 calls a year, mostly medical in nature.

The district is currently assessing a 3.25 percent property tax levy on residents, the maximum allowed in the state of Arizona. Fire Chief Steve Holt said the tax rate went down, but then the district had to raise it as property values fell during the recession.

He said the district needs a new station and trucks, but can’t afford the cost. He said the district last bought an ambulance in 2011 and will need another this year or next.

Kathi Fair

Fair is proud to say she lives in one of the best and most caring fire districts in the area.

“We are very proud of Chief (Steve) Holt and all the men and women that serve under him. I have had the opportunity to see them in action many times and could not ask for a more professional group of people,” she said.

Fair, who has lived in the area for a decade, said when she learned a member of the fire board was not running for re-election, she decided to run as a good way to serve the community.

Fair said the district needs to raise money to fund new equipment so it can keep abreast with community needs.

She is not sure of anything else needed to improve the district, but if elected, she will learn.

Residents should vote for Fair because “I care about our community and look forward to working with the great men and

women of this fire district serve their needs.”

Rose Ann “Janie” Watts

Watts has only lived in Tonto Basin for three years, but in that time has gotten to know the fire district personnel.

While she has not had to use their services, her husband Jim has needed ambulance services many times in the past three years.

“I liked how Mr. (Steve) Holt and the EMTs treated him,” she said. “I am sure, or at least I hope, the people of Tonto Basin realize what a valuable service the fire and ambulance provide to this community. My husband Jim was a Vietnam veteran and was not keen on riding in an ambulance. Mr. Holt and his crew were so kind and professional that he felt comfortable being transported by the ambulance.”

Local friends Deloris and Jim Marriage suggested Watts run for a board position. Jim is currently serving as a board member.

“I’ve always believed that one should give back to the community where they live and this is one way I can do this,” she said.

Watts has attended a few board meetings and believes the board is doing a fine job.

She believes some of the fire board’s requests are a little “nitpicky” and cause more work for staff than is necessary, but as a whole, is happy with the current board members.

She said the district “probably” has an issue retaining personnel, but most districts in small communities with limited budgets face this issue. She is not sure how to solve this dilemma.

Watts’ experience serving

on community boards includes serving as the chair of a Refuse District Board in a small county in Montana for four years, composing the district budget each year.

“I believe my experience of serving on a county board helps me know how a board operates,” she said. “I want the residence of this community/county to know that my first and foremost responsibility would be to the taxpayers and their dollars and then to support the fire district personnel.”

Gary Blanchard

For the past two years, Blanchard has served as a volunteer driver for the Tonto Basin Fire District, driving the handicap van to the Valley or Payson for residents that need a lift. The district offers the service free of charge to residents that live between Jakes Corner and Roosevelt.

Blanchard, who has lived in the district since 1987, said he loves to give back to his community and this is just one way to do that. Another way, he hopes, is serving on the fire district board.

Blanchard is running for the board to help keep the district running smoothly. Blanchard said he is happy with the current staff and service level of the district. When his mother was sick, he called 911 half a dozen times. Each time, Tonto Basin firefighters and paramedics were professional and courteous.

“I think (the paramedics) are doing a great job and Steve (Holt, fire chief) is doing a great job,” he said.

While Blanchard has no experience on a fire board, he was vice president of the local chamber of commerce some 30 years ago and he really loves the community and its residents.

Pamela Burruel

Burruel has lived in the Roosevelt community for the past 25 years and seen the population double to 2,400 people in the communities some nine miles south of the dam and Tonto Basin.

Burruel said she is running for the fire board because the Roosevelt area lacks representation. She believes the area needs a representative on the board.

Burruel said she has heard from Roosevelt residents concerned about the lack of representation now.

If elected, Burruel said she wants to take a hard look at spending. Roosevelt residents would like to see someone on duty 24/7 in the community to improve coverage and response times.

She would like to see more transparency on the board and better availability of the fire chief and board members. If elected, Burruel said she would be open to talking with any fire district resident about their concerns. She said she has found it difficult to speak with

Burruel, who has been active in several political groups, said whenever she gets involved in a board, she takes it very seriously.

“I try to do my research and do what I can to make things better,” she said. “I will suggest ways to make things better.”

If elected, Burruel would like to see the fire district host an annual open house so the community can meet the firefighters, board and administrative staff.

Terry Phillips

Phillips, a resident of Tonto Basin since 2004, is no stranger to public service. He retired from the Arizona Department of Public Safety and is currently a reserve Gila County Sheriff’s Office deputy, volunteering in the Tonto Basin area. He is also a part-time deputy constable out of Payson.

Phillips raised his family in Tonto Basin and then retired there. He said a concerned citizen approached him to run for the Tonto Basin Fire District governing board. After attending several fire board meetings, he decided to run, believing he can work well with the other board members.

Phillips said as a property owner he is concerned with the fire protection in the area along with emergency medical coverage. His goals and objectives include: • Working within the current budget without an additional tax increase • Better financial accountability and transparency • 24-hour emergency shift coverage at both Tonto Basin and Roosevelt

• Implementing a drug-free workplace policy • Hiring an administrative clerk to maintain records, financial operations and perform general clerical duties • Researching grants and government surplus options for equipment and supplies • Promoting a positive and friendly work environment • Inquiring about employee benefits — retirement and medical • Reaching out to the community for volunteer assistance in administrative duties.

Brian Jennings

Jennings grew up in Tonto Basin and has lived in the community more than half his life. He is the only incumbent running for the fire board. He has served on the Tonto Basin Fire District governing board for four years. Jennings says it took most of his first term to learn the ins and outs of the position.

“By voting for me, I can continue to serve you and your best interests,” he said in a flier.

“I want to ensure that your tax dollars are spent wisely and transparently so you can see where your tax dollars are being used.”

Jennings said his goal is to help build a fire department that employees want to work for and there is high employee morale. He says he also wants to implement an “aggressive billing system for recreational rescues” of non-residents, such as boaters.

“These rescues can over extend our resources, causing poor coverage for local emergencies and local taxpayers are bearing the financial burden,” he said. “I will keep the interests of the local taxpayers at heart.”

Good turnout Pine Strawberry Guild member Catherine Hurla is calling the boutique held Saturday, Oct. 8 a big success.

“We had a good crowd going through all day and great sales,” Hurla said. “The weather was beautiful so that seemed to help bring people in.”

The boutique offered for sale a variety of unique gifts and personal items that Hurla claims, “Could not be found elsewhere.”

The items included artwork, leather crafts, knit and crocheted works, jewelry and baskets.

The boutique will open again on Friday, Nov. 25 and two days in December that will be announced later.

More Madness Next on the Isabelle Hunt Memorial Library’s Movie Madness offerings is the showing of “Ice Age Collision Course” at 1 p.m. Oct. 19. The movie is rated PG and is 105 minutes in length.

As usual, children should bring a pillow so as to be comfortable on the floor, refreshments will be served and parents are responsible for judging the suitability of the movie for their child.

School daze The Pine Strawberry School monthly calendar includes two upcoming volleyball outings, an archery tournament and a half day of school.

The Buffalo netters travel Tuesday, Oct. 18 to Camp Verde United Christian and on Oct. 22 lock horns in a daylong Verde Valley League tournament.

School will be dismissed at 11:30 a.m. on Oct. 19 to allow teachers to attend in-service training.

On Oct. 22, the Buffalo archery team hosts an all-day National Archery in Schools Program (NASP) tournament.

Competition in four flights begins at 8 a.m.

The tournament, which is a northeastern Arizona state qualifier, will include both 3-D and 10-15 meter range competitions.

Since the inception of NASP at the school, the team has grown to become one of the finest in the state as evidenced by it annually qualifying for Arizona and national championship tournaments.

At the conclusion of last season, one in which the Buffs advanced to the national tournament in Louisville, Ky., coach Dean Pederson expressed confidence that the 2016-17 team could be the best ever.

“I’m hoping next year we have a few qualify for the world shoot.”

That would be a Herculean accomplishment for a small, rural school with less than 200 students to draw from.

The coach’s optimism might be due to the return of the one-two punch of eighth-graders Emma Paine and Raci Miranda.

In Louisville last spring, Paine took top honors among the 15 P/S qualifiers scoring a 270 that was highlighted by 12 perfect 10 scores. Among the 230 seventh-grade national qualifiers, Paine was 29th. Of the 1572 girls competing she was 205th.

On the 10-15 meter range, Miranda was tops among the Buffs posting a 274 with 11 10s. At one point in the competition she hit five consecutive 10s and her lowest score was an eight.

Also in the 10-15 meter shoot, Paine scored a very respectable 272.

In 3-D, Miranda pushed Paine to the limit before finishing second on the team with a 264 and nine 10s.

The Buff cause did suffer a setback, however, with the loss of Caleb Barlow, the son of former school principal-superintendent Cody Barlow.

Last year, Caleb was one of the

team’s better shooters but is no longer with the Buffalos because his family moved from Pine.

Medicare help Keeping up with the changes in Medicare prescription plans can be a daunting task for seniors.

Thankfully there is help on the way for those concerned about the changes that will take place Jan. 1, 2017.

The assistance arrives in the form of a Pinal-Gila County Council for Senior Citizens-hosted seminar from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 28 at Isabelle Hunt Memorial Library in Pine.

During it, PGSC representatives will help seniors review their health and prescription insurance including changes in cost, coverage and benefits.

Pasitka invites It’s certain many of those attending the 12th Annual Rim Country Quilt Roundup will be crafters and quilters from Pine and Strawberry.

Maureen Pasitka, a well-known local quilter, issued last week an invitation to attend the Roundup which will be held from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Oct. 14 and 15 at the Mazatzal Hotel & Casino. Admission is $5 and children under 12 years are free.

The Roundup will offer a vendor mall, “shop hop,” classes, lectures and a quilt appraiser.

Cristy Fincher, Ann Peterson and Sharon Schamber will teach.

The event is being sponsor by Gila County Supervisor Tommie Martin, Church of the Nazarene and the Mazatzal Casino.

For more information or entry forms, call 928-978-3464.

performance in the James Bond film “Casino Royale.”

Also from “Casino Royale” we have Judi Dench. The seemingly inevitable Samuel L. Jackson also appears; 19-year-old pro Asa Butterfield plays Jake, the male focus of the film. He held the star role in the science fiction film “Ender’s Game.”

Chris O’Dowd and Terence Stamp also play supporting roles as Jake’s dad and grandpa respectively. Dench has an Oscar while Jackson and Stamp are Oscar nominees. The cast is solid and seasoned, even young Butterfield has a string of credits.

Jake’s mom is played by Kim

This four saw blade film will satisfy all viewers. Tim Burton has a definite edge to his work that can be off-putting. He sometimes reaches for our gorge reflex, as he does here, but no one can say he doesn’t have a grand imagination. He has the Peculiar Children use innovative skills and quick wits in the spectacular climatic battle with the ... well just you go see with what.

Even I liked the finish very much, and I do not often appreciate Mr. Burton.

The film is set on an island in Wales, but the filming took place in three countries, England, Belgium and in Florida in the USA. With a huge budget of $110 million the film has accumulated $80 million at the box office in its first week. It runs for a longish two hours and 10 minutes.

Eva Green and Tim Burton also worked together in the Johnny Depp film “Dark Shadows.”

Burton allowed himself the pleasure of a cameo, so watch for him.

CROSSWORD ANSWER

SUDOKU ANSWER

SALOME’S STARS ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You’re moving from a relatively stable situation to one that appears to be laced with perplexity. Be patient. You’ll eventually get answers to help clear up the confusion around you.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A vexing situation tempts you to rush to set it all straight. But it’s best to let things sort themselves out so that you can get a better picture of the challenge you’re facing.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Financial matters could create some confusion, especially with a torrent of advice pouring in from several sources. Resist acting on emotion and wait for the facts to emerge.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) That goal you’ve set is still in sight and is still in reach. Stay with the course that you’re on. Making too many shifts in direction now could create another set of problems.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) It might be time to confront a trouble-making associate and demand some answers. But be prepared for some surprises that could lead you to make a change in some long-standing plans.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Congratulations. You’re making great progress in sorting out all that confusion that kept you from making those important decisions. You’re on your way now.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A difficult experience begins to ease. That’s the good news. The not-so-good news is a possible

complication that could prolong the problem awhile longer.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your self-confidence gets a much-needed big boost as you start to unsnarl that knotty financial problem. Expect some help from a surprising source.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Congratulations.

Any lingering negative aftereffects from that not-so-pleasant workplace situation are all but gone. It’s time now to focus on the positive.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your self-confidence grows stronger as you continue to take more control of your life.

Arrange for some well-earned fun and relaxation with someone special.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) As usual, you’ve been concerned more about the needs of others than your own. You need to take time for yourself so that you can replenish all that spent energy.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Stronger planetary influences indicate a growing presence of people eager to help you navigate through the rough seas that might mark your career course.

October 16-22 is Veterinary Technician Appreciation Week. All of us at HSCAZ are very lucky to have an extremely intelligent and hard-working medical team.

They work with the Humane Society dogs and cats that of Central Arizona come into the shelter every single day. DJ, Loni and Nicole have ADOPTION all been at HSCAZ for OPTIONS over a year working together. They cover 7 days a week making sure all dogs and cats are well cared for and healthy. Lots of dogs and cats that come into our shelter as strays are malnourished, injured or have some sort of underlying medical condition. DJ, Loni and Nicole are here to help! They spend their days medicating, vaccinating, assisting in spay/neuter surgeries and making sure all the dogs and cats are healthy and happy. They provide comfort to pets that come into the shelter lost, scared and sickly. They care for the cats and dogs that live with us temporarily as part of our Humanitarian Hold program while their owners struggle with medical problems, loss of home, domestic abuse or rehabilitation. Our medical team also helps the public by holding low-cost vaccine and spay/neuter clinics and traveling to underserved areas to help provide spay and neuter surgeries along with our veterinarian Dr. Sheena Christensen.

HSCAZ would like to extend a huge thank you to our medical team! We would also like to thank you on behalf of the over 1,600 cats and dogs you cared for in the past year. We are all very appreciative of your dedication and hard work year round.

your adoption fee from our ghoul and you can even win some prizes for you and your newly adopted companion! Come to the shelter at 605 W. Wilson Ct. from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Saturday and meet adoptable pets like these:

the right active girl for you, come on down and check me out!

I’m an active girl looking for a loving family to take me on long walks and help me burn off all this extra energy. Take me for a run with you in the morning or let’s go on an adventure together on a hiking trail.

I want to feel a special bond with my future owner and know that they are going to let me be silly and play outside with me. I’m only drawn to certain dogs when it comes to making friends. Some personalities are just stronger than I prefer. If I sound like

Miss Kitty

Club is part of the world’s largest service organization. Members enjoy activities, service projects and events that benefit local charities. All interested persons are welcome to attend. You are never too young or young at heart to be a Lioness. For more information, call Carol at 928978-4132.

I know what you’re thinking, what’s a cool cat like me doing in a place like this?

Running a saloon and keeping all these critters in line can be a tough job, but I’m a smart gal that always has an open ear for anyone that needs to talk. Just think of me as your oasis in the middle of a desert! Not only can I sling drinks and create fun for everyone around, I can be a softy when it comes to certain people, but don’t let that fool you. I have a tough business woman attitude when it comes to running a tight ship around here. If you think you can handle a pistol like myself, just cross over the gunsmoke and get a clear view of me.

Story and Photos by Peter Aleshire

Fall is like life, like love

To find this maple grove, take Forest Road 300 past Woods Canyon Lake then turn right on Forest Road 84. This is what it looked like on Sunday. The leaves will probably still be on the trees this weekend as well.

roundup editor

I stood on a tapestry of maple leaves, saturated, chromatically content.

I murmured a little prayer to chlorophyll, sunlight, supernovae and anthocyanin.

I’d found my maple grove — and impressed my bride. I had feared I would not find this spot — but now heaved a sign of relief watching her shuffle through the red leaves.

It just don’t get any better.

Mind you, I grew up in California then spent 25 years in the Valley — so the gush of red, yellow and orange in the canopy of trembling leaves overhead still feels like a hallucination, wandering lost in some Disney movie calling for Thumper.

So when Greg McKelvey — photographer and geologist — dropped by my office to show off his fall color shots from a maple grove off Forest Road 300, I made him mark the spot on a map. Then as soon as I could wrench myself loose from the endless newspaper deadlines, I set out on a quest for red.

The weekend previous, I’d set off to visit a couple of aspen groves — one in a big meadow off Highway 260 on a few miles beyond where you top off on the Rim and another on the short access road into Willow Springs Lake. That was wonderful. The quaking aspen trembled in a warm fall breeze a satisfying drenching of yellow.

But I needed my dose of red — I needed my anthocyanins.

OK. So let’s back up.

All spring, all summer, I wallow in green — the gift of chlorophyll, which makes duffers like me possible.

Chlorophyll’s a complicated molecule that absorbs sunlight. This knocks loose an electron that triggers a chain reaction when combined with water and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to produce sugars and nutrients the trees need to survive. In the process, the molecule releases a little gasp of oxygen, liberated from the carbon dioxide — releasing it into the atmosphere to sustain fall color groupies like myself.

The chlorophyll molecule is built around a magnesium atom. Please note, you make magnesium by letting a giant star burn down to heavy elements before exploding, scatter those elements into space. Once the dust cloud gathers into a planet, you have magnesium suitable for making chlorophyll. Oh, yeah — and us.

Magnesium makes up about 11 percent of the atoms in our bodies.

The chlorophyll absorbs most wavelengths of light, but more or less rejects green wavelengths. Those wavelengths bounce off the leaves, making the forest look lushly green.

All summer long, the chlorophyll sustains the tree.

Fire Damage is the most stressful type of property damage that property owners have to live through. The loss of property and valuables leaves many property owners confused and frustrated.

Fire damage is more difficult, but not impossible to restore. Dry Force will work quickly to secure your property following a fire and begin the restoration process. In cases where the fire department put out the fire, Dry Force will begin with water extraction before beginning the restoration process.

Smoke Damage occurs because smoke will travel and go through any opening. This allows it to move between rooms and settle into porous materials where it can remain. Our specialists will set up specialty equipment to dissolve the settle smoke particles and remove the odor.

Water & Storm Damage Mitigation, Removal and Restoration

Water and storm incursions must be quickly mitigated to prevent further damage. Carpets, walls, and furnishings are most immediately susceptible to water damage. The longer water stays in place the more destructive it can be. Protect your property and the health of your loved ones by quickly contacting Dry Force in the event of water or storm damage. Our specialists will work quickly to extract any remaining water and place drying equipment to dry out the affected areas to stop damage and prevent mold growth.

Rush of fall colors But as the days shorten and the temperature falls, maples, aspen, cottonwoods and other trees with delicate, big, floppy leaves face a problem. The leaves soak up the rays — but they’re also sensitive to frost.

So to protect itself from damage and infection, many trees drop their leaves as temperatures fall. A ring of cells called an abscission at the base of the leaf cuts off the flow of water and nutrients into the leaf.

But why the flare of gaudy red, orange and yellow?

The green leaf has all kinds of pigments and molecules covered up by the green of the chlorophyll. That includes anthocyanin, which reflects the red wavelengths of light. The anthocyanin may protect the leaf against sun damage. As the chlorophyll fades in the leaf, it turns to producing anthocyanin.

So as the delicate chlorophyll molecules come apart, the leaf turns yellow, then red.

Botanists still debate exactly why some years produce brilliant reds while others favor orange and yellow. It has something to do with the mingling of cold nights and warm days — early frost and lingering summers. The exact formula remains elusive.

So if you’ve developed an addiction to anthocyanins or the carotenes that produce the yellow in fall leaves — you must

venture forth and take your chances.

No telling how it will all play out given the predicted rise in average global temperatures.

Some projections suggest fall colors will come later in the year — perhaps linger longer.

Many projections predict forests will shift altitudes — so maples may fade from one place and hopefully sprout in another.

Certainly aspen are struggling across the Southwest — but that probably mostly has to do with the disruption of natural fire cycles.

So in an unpredictable world, I believe in chasing the colors when you see them — and stretching out on a bed of maple leaves when you find it.

So we found a log, rising from the red splendor of the fallen leaves, cracked open a bottle of merlot and savored the afternoon, the way the sunlight fell on leaves made possible by the death of some other star.

I took in a great gulp of oxygen — fresh from the leaves.

I watched as Michele lie in a hollow beneath the maple tree, nearly hidden in the red and yellow leaves — peering through her camera lens through the trembling layers of color — yellow, red and orange — hallucinogenic against the brilliant blue sky, the paintbrush billows of cloud.

I think fall is like life, like love — impossibly beautiful and all the more poignant in the long shadow of winter.
