“Most pick out the coffin once they hear their diagnosis,” said Ilona Swenson. “I want them to know it is not a death sentence. There is life after breast cancer.” Swenson knows. She is a 32-year survivor of the disease and the toxic, debilitating treatment — the only one available when she was first diagnosed. The treatment side effects were so terrible she prayed she would not qualify for the cure. She shared her story with the Roundup as part of our Breast Cancer Awareness campaign. The Roundup turned the frontpage pink today in honor of the campaign and has also devoted the twopage health section to the topic Breast cancer survivors Ilona Swenson and Barbara Sapp are dedicated to helping others diagnosed with See Breast cancer, page 10A the disease.

The Payson Police say they arrested an extremely intoxicated Chandler man Saturday afternoon after he fired his gun. Dennis Gregory Webb, 45, had been drinking at the Buffalo Bar and Grill earlier in the day and somehow managed to stumble into a wooded area behind the Sears store, said Police Chief Don Engler. Webb reportedly fired off one round randomly, not damaging any property or striking anything police could identify.
A neighbor came out to see what was going on and Webb allegedly pointed his gun at the person. Officers arrived, but Webb was very uncooperative, Engler said. When Webb started to “manipulate” the weapon in his waistband, Officer Jesse Davies got within 20 feet and Tasered Webb, bringing him to the ground. Webb was arrested at 4 p.m. on charges of aggravated assault and disorderly conduct. Webb was among a dozen arrests the PPD made over the weekend.

from some sort of respiratory illness. So far neither case has been diagnosed with enterovirus D68. Doctors knew they had something serious when the infant remained in the hospital for five days before succumbing to his illness. The Payson hospital told the mother they did not have a test available for D68, but even if her daughter had the disease, the steroids and respiratory therapy they gave the child would be the only thing they could do, since a virus does not respond to antibiotics.

A trip to Colorado gave a Payson family an enterovirus scare when their daughter fell suddenly ill with a fast-moving respiratory illness during fall break. “We went to Durango on vacation,” said the mother. “That day we had gone to a water park and she complained of a sore throat. By that night I was with her in the bathroom (with steam) because she could not breathe.” The family, who did not want to be identified, cut their vacation short and came home to Payson. By Wednesday morning, the mother said her 6-year-old struggled so hard to breathe she took the girl to the emergency room at Payson Regional Medical Center. The hospital checked for strep throat and gave the child an X-ray to
see if she had pneumonia. Everything came back negative. That’s when the mother suggested to the E.R. doctor her child might have enterovirus D68. “I have six children and I’d never seen anything like this before,” said the mother. “After doing research on the Internet, the symptoms were very similar.” The virus is difficult to detect. Only the Centers for Disease Control have access to tests. However, Arizona has had a scare. Two children, one a Peoria first-grader and the other a 5-monthold infant from Phoenix, have died

Payson band wows judges BY
MICHELE NELSON
ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER
The Pride of Payson Marching Band scored the most points it has ever received in competition this year and took home three caption awards during the Northern Arizona University Band Day Saturday. “Previously, our top score was 64.1,” said Sergio Beraun, band director, “At NAU, we received 71.4 points.” Beraun said the caption awards in music, visual and overall effect indicate the Pride received the most points in all of those areas. Music
makes up 23.7 percent of the total score. Overall effect judges the emotional response the audience and judge had to the performance. “The clap moment,” said Beraun. The visual judge watches for the marching and formation of the band. The other two caption awards included percussion and auxiliary (flags). The students performed their best with all the movements in perfect unison and played with a sound that belies their size — a 48-member band.

Independent Arizona Senate candidate Tom O’Halleran staunchly defended his record as a pragmatic, problem-solving moderate in the face of often clamorous questioning before the Payson Tea Party. O’Halleran served in the Legislature as a Republican, but changed his registration to Independent. “Switching parties was a hard decision. The biggest reason is that I’ve seen a model of government that’s pretty broken — I’m concerned about that as an American and a person who lives in Arizona. We’re not bringing people together — we’re creating vacuums.” O’Halleran worked for 13 years as a Chicago police officer, detective and hostage negotiator then had a second career as a stock traders, working in the high pressured derivatives markets. After moving to Arizona, he served on the school board in Sedona and then in the state House and Senate. He’s up against former state Senator and Navajo County Board of Supervisors member Sylvia Allen, appointed to run for the seat following the death of incumbent Sen. Chester Crandell. No Democrats filed to run for the seat. In the Legislature, O’Halleran amassed a conservative voting record on the budget and immigration, but also emerged as an advocate for schools, Child Protective Services and changes in water policy. He fought several public battles with Republican leadership in the senate centered on his support for CPS reforms and all-day kindergarten. O’Halleran returned to politics to run as an Independent in District 4, which includes all of Rim Country, Flagstaff, Sedona, the Verde Valley and a chunk of the White Mountains. Roundup file photo

Former Sen. Allen has many friends and supporters in the Tea Party. She has built her campaign around resistance to federal authority and an effort to force the feds to return to the state control of millions of acres of Forest Service land. Tea Party meetings often focus on withering criticism of the federal government and vociferous support for seizing control of federal land. But O’Halleran said the federal government and courts will never turn over millions of acres of federally owned land and exempt the state from national environmental laws, an assertion that provoked outcries from the audience. Besides, said O’Halleran, the state doesn’t have the money to manage the federal land. He noted that even after the Yarnell Fire on state lands killed 19 firefighters and destroyed much of the town, the Legislature refused to set aside more than a pittance for thinning and fire management on state lands. Arizona needs a business plan
Before Arizona can push for control of state lands “we need a business plan. We need to get serious in a meaningful way. ‘If I have all this federal land, here’s how much money I’m going to make and here’s how much it’s going to cost to manage it. I just don’t see the federal government walking up to the state some day and saying ‘you guys take all this land and never mind about environmental laws.’” The audience badgered him about his position off and on, but O’Halleran stood his ground. The bulk of his detailed, nearly two-hour long talk focused on the need to focus on workable solutions to the state’s serious problems with the budget, education, prisons, medical care and other issues. He recalled the short-term focus in the Legislature when he served. “At my first caucus, they were talking about the majority plan this and that. After an hour or so, I raised my hand and said, excuse me, we’re only talking about things being dealt with in the next year
In an earlier campaign stop, state Senate candidate Tom O’Halleran spoke to voters at a Rumsey Park event, more recently, he fielded questions from the Payson Tea Party. or two. One of the people who had been in office for a long time said, ‘We’re only elected for two years. That’s the only type of decision we can make.’ Well, first of all that’s wrong.” He said the Legislature has failed to deal with any of the big problems facing the state, whether it’s stimulating the economy by luring new businesses or funding K-12 schools and universities. “Somewhere along the line you have to work together. When I used to bail out of a squad car and go chasing someone down a dark alley — I didn’t think, what party is my partner from? I am thinking ‘are they covering my back and are they with me?’” Criticizes failure to reform CPS
He cited the persistent failure to provide Child Protective Services the resources it needs to either support struggling families to prevent abuse or remove children from dangerous homes and find a safe place for them. O’Halleran said his refusal to accept a window-dressing overhaul of CPS when he served in the senate cost him his committee chairman ships. Several years after he left the Legislature, the revelation that CPS had simply dismissed without investigation more than 6,500 abuse cases prompted many of the reforms he had advocated. “We have thousands of our children in this state whose child abuse cases were not investigated. These are our grandchildren, our children — these are the future of Arizona and we didn’t investigate their child abuse cases. We have nearly 17,000 children now in foster homes. Why were they taken out of their homes? Often it’s because we weren’t providing the services necessary for the families. So they reformed CPS again — and hopefully we’ll start to get it right.” The failure to address child abuse and neglect ripples throughout the system. “A lot of these kids will end up in the penitentiary system. That’s why as our crime rate has gone down 20 percent our incarceration rate has gone up 4 percent.”
Answers charges in mailers
O’Halleran fielded questions from the audience stimulated by fliers that have gone to many residents, paid for by undisclosed dark money independent expenditure groups. The fliers say he’s a Democrat, although he was a life-long Republican before becoming an independent. They also say he dodge taxes and is a “tax and spend” liberal who favors an open and uncontrolled border. “When I walked in I had the pleasure of seeing some of the mailers on the table. It’s crazy season — let’s all agree. My opponent is not the person who is sending out those milers. They’re being sent out by special interest groups. Neither I or my opponent — Sylvia — have any control over what’s being said.” He provided details of his voting record, including a long list of bills intended to crack down on illegal immigration and a long list of conservative budget bills. He conceded that at one point he paid his property taxes late due to financial problems, but he eventually paid everything he owed. He said he has paid more than $200,000 in property taxes since moving to Arizona. Mostly, he stressed the need to work relentlessly to find actual solutions to the state’s problems, citing the struggle to thin the forests to reduce fire risks through efforts like the 4-Forests Restoration Initiative. He noted that he chaired the state’s Forest Oversight Committee that helped develop the 4FRI approach based on using the timber industry to thin the forests, while sparing most of the remaining big trees. “Those environmentalists and those business people and those timber people had to sit down and work out these problems. As a state legislator I can agree and disagree with the environmental issues — and I believe that people need jobs. It’s just so much easier and so much less costly to deal with people before we get to court. I don’t’ want a judge making decisions on what direction we should go in taking care of our forests. So we should work as hard as we can to bring people together.”
Flu season mingles with other viral scares From page 1A By that afternoon, the child had recovered enough for the hospital to release her. “They asked me how close I lived to the hospital, when I told them five minutes, they told me good, if anything happens you need to get her in here in five minutes,” said the mother. That would make any parent nervous. Yet this type of illness is not
the first of its kind in Rim Country. Lucinda Campbell, the Gila County nurse in the Payson office said she has seen many cases with similar symptoms. “From the late summer now into the fall we’ve been experiencing a whole lot of sore throats turning into sinusitis that drops into the chest with an awful cough,” she said. By law, however, if any doctor who suspects an emerging or

exotic virus must report findings to the county health office. “We would (then) call the state for further directions and guidelines on how to handle specimens,” said Campbell. Campbell said that the flu season is upon us. She said with children back in school, all sorts of germs get passed back and forth. “I was in a day care watching all the coughing and sneezing,” she said, “then everyone touched
the flash cards handing them back and forth. That’s a lot of germs being passed.” To help with the upcoming flu season, the county will hold a Flu Festival on Tuesday, Oct. 28 from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m. “We’ll have free flu shots and teach the kids how to stay healthy (wash hands) and adults how to be sick (stay home from work),” said Campbell, “The first 50 kids will get Halloween treats.”

Breast cancer battle continues The battle continues. Breast cancer remains a stubborn and terrifying scourge, the second most fatal cancer among women. We’ve gone pink today, hoping to call attention to the ongoing efforts to fight this persistent and widespread danger. So you’ll find on our front page the courageous story of two survivors, willing to use their experience to make sure women get the screening, care and education they need to safeguard themselves and those they love. Decades of research, experimentation and courage have increased the survival rate for women afflicted with this still mysterious cancer. But the rate remains alarmingly high — affecting one in eight women in their lifetime. Clearly, we need to continue to fund both basic and applied research when it comes to breast cancer. The Federal government continues to cut back on its research efforts as the grants on which many scientists depend dry up — with the battle against cancer still raging. Federal funding for the National Institutes of Health dropped $1.7 billion in the current fiscal year, blocking at least 1,000 major medial research projects. NIH-supported grants help fund 400,000 research jobs across the country. Federal NIH research funding peaked at $31.2 billion in 2010, but has been on the decline ever since. Fortunately, donors have helped groups like the American Cancer Society and others cover some of the resulting shortfall. We hope you’ll make your own contributions to the groups on the front lines of the battle. In the meantime, we need to talk openly — and offer love and support to the victims of this heartbreaking and frightening scourge. The brave women who spoke out in today’s Roundup have done their bit. We need to follow their example and make a difference.

PAYSON UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT
With less than a month to go before the election, a dominant theme in campaigns is the economy. The candidates for governor discuss how they will jump-start the economy, what needs to be done for economic development and the need for tax breaks to corporations to get these corporations to come to Arizona. What has not been discussed is the role of public education in the economy. For all the comments regarding the economy, the discussion of the connection between public education and the economy is completely absent. What is so important about the connection between the economy and public education? What many people do not realize is that public education is one of the largest employers in the state. In communities throughout the nation and in Arizona, the local school district is the largest employer. As a result, the primary economic engine in the state, counties and towns is the local school district. Payson Unified School District is no exception. It is the largest employer in the community with 300 employees — only 4 percent of which are administrators, while 50 percent of the employees
are teachers. The ripple effect of these employees impacts all aspects of the local economy. Payson Unified pays out $10 million in salaries and another $3.1 million in benefits. This money is reinvested into the local economy by district staff and their families. These families buy and rent homes, shop in our stores, use the local heath care system and pay taxes. In addition the district spends $2 million on supplies that support the community through the purchase of school supplies, parts for equipment and vehicles, and gas for our fleet of buses. This past year, more than $1 million was spent by the district for construction projects and another $1.2 million for utility bills. With all the discussion on how to jump-start the economy, this disconnect between public education and the economy continues to grow. The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities released a recent report that compared the percent of change in K-12 education per-pupil funding from 2008 to 2015. Arizona had the third largest reduction in per-pupil funding when adjusted for inflation in the country. In Arizona the reduction was 17.5 percent. So with all the discussion regarding the economy one of the largest employers in the state saw a significant reduction in funding.
The impact of this reduction was felt by communities throughout the state. School districts throughout the state, including Payson Unified, addressed the recession and the budget shortfall like any other business. The district reduced the workforce and closed a school. The old saying was that the little red schoolhouse was the center of the community. The truth is the local school district continues to be the center of the community. The high school and middle school host over 100 events that draw people from other communities to Payson. These events also provide a source of entertainment for many in the community. In addition, many groups in our community use our facilities for events, practice and meetings. As we come to the end of another lengthy election season and as the candidates discuss the economy, please understand and remember the role of the local school district in the economy. If the new ASU campus comes to town the impact of education in the local economy will only grow. However, regardless of what happens with ASU the Payson Unified School District will continue to be a primary economic engine for the community. Consider, healthy schools mean a healthy community and financially healthy school districts mean a healthier local economy.
his skills on the hardwood floors of West Virginia like Jerry West would have something to say about that. Since when do rich kids have a monopoly on brainpower? History is replete with those from the dregs of society pulling themselves up by the bootstraps and achieving success! While I would be willing to concede to candidate Younker that those attending school with pangs in their bellies may be at a disadvantage on the learning curve if for no other reason than that they are hungry! Parents want the best education possible for their children regardless of their socio-economic level. And, in this truly global village we better be measuring them up against everybody else because a billion or more from around the world are competing against them. The last thing parents want is dumbing them down, coasting through or taking the easy way out regardless of whether they are rich or poor or what part of the country they live in. John G. Wakelin
crosses. Each cross represents a domestic violence victim, is decorated beautifully, and includes the story of how they were killed. These 30 crosses will be out throughout October. If you happen to find yourself in one of the host businesses, please take a moment to read the story. Some of them are quite surprising, to say the least. Besides the crosses, on Wednesday, Oct. 29 Time Out is holding our annual Candlelight Walk. This year we are starting and ending the walk, thanks to Donovan, at the Expedition Church. It’s on the corner of Bonita and Colcord. We meet at 5:30 p.m. and start walking at 6 p.m. Dimi Espresso will be providing coffee for everyone before and after the walk. Our route is just a bit less than a mile and no one is in a hurry. We will have a police escort, as always. There will be a short program after we return from the walk at the church. It would be amazing to see everyone take part in this event! While it’s not mandatory, if you plan on taking part, please stop by the Time Out Thrift Shop and pick up a sponsor form. Your friends can pledge as little as a penny a step (approximately 2,000 steps per mile) or whatever. Bring yourself, your friends, your sons, your daughters, your wife, your husband, your grandparents — you get the picture. Let’s get as many walkers as possible. Most of us know someone that has been involved in domestic violence. For everyone’s future, let’s stop domestic violence now! Looking forward to seeing you! Elizabeth Keddington

Time for a change EDITOR: In the years that representatives Brenda Barton and Bob Thorpe have been at the Arizona Legislature, they have never championed the issues that are so important to the people of Rim Country: expanding the local economy, adequate funds for public schools, accessible health care for people who cannot afford insurance. Former senator and current candidate Sylvia Allen espouses similar ideas. It’s time for a change. We need people like Lanny Morrison for representative and Tom O’Halleran for Senate to represent us. They will promote policies that will truly benefit all of us. Kay Miller
Job competition is from around the world EDITOR: School board candidate Darlene Younker was quoted in the Payson Roundup as saying “national standards would set kids in lower socio-economic school districts up for failure by comparing them ... to children from richer areas.” Candidate Younker went on to elaborate this thinking with “if we have a national standard ... we’re going to have to lower it for those who are in Appalachia.” I can’t help but think that a coal miner’s daughter like Loretta Lynn or one who learned

GCC solar: Maybe it’s a good thing it’s not up yet BY
MICHELE NELSON
ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER
At its meeting on Oct. 16, the Gila Community College board heard a familiar promise about its supposedly glittering solar future: “SunRenu promises construction will begin in 30 days,” said John Zilisch, GCC board member. “We’ve heard that for the last two years,” said Larry Stephenson, the other GCC board member from Northern Gila County. But maybe the delay isn’t such a bad thing, since Arizona’s Department of Revenue has changed the tax liability for leased solar systems. As of October 2015, all leased solar systems must pay property tax on the solar panels. The law states that people who own their solar system do not need to pay property taxes, so people and organizations that leased systems believed they fell under the same exemption. Not so. Instead, the Department of Revenue decided to treat leased panels like merchant power plants, causing savings to evaporate — especially for homeowners. Most schools, government offices and middle class homeowners lease because they cannot afford the upfront costs of the equipment. For schools that install a 250- to 550-kilowatt system, the upfront costs run from $1 million to $2.2 million. Generally, a home solar system costs around $30,000 to install. Local resident Alan Klein received a similar estimate when he installed his solar system in 2005. According to estimates, homeowners save $60 to $120 per year on electricity. A property tax on a $34,000 solar system would run about $152.
School districts would be harder hit. A 550-kilowatt system valued at $2.2 million could require an additional $9,867 in property taxes. At this point, the Department of Revenue has decided to hold solar companies responsible for paying the property tax. Companies must pay up by October of 2015. Yet historically, taxes end up falling in the lap of the consumer. But there’s more. Since Klein used to pay only $10 per month for electricity. But that was prior to 2012, when the Arizona Corporation Commission became all Republican and policies regarding solar energy started to change. Back then, Klein sold any excess kilowatts of energy back to APS. As of April 2014, the ACC voted to charge rates based on a predetermined calculation set by the price of natural gas. These rates are approved by the ACC. Seems solar energy’s popularity has put electric companies at risk. In a study done by the Edison Electric Institute, it found, “that home solar, dubbed “distributed energy resources” could allow Americans to get off the grid, putting their member utilities into a death spiral of fewer and fewer electricity sales to cover more and more grid maintenance costs. That would drive up electricity prices and, as a result, drive more and more people to install rooftop solar.” Exactly what happened in Arizona. Maybe GCC’s delay in putting up solar panels will allow the college time to decide whether it would like to pay those additional taxes — or simply continue paying APS for electricity.

Ballot measure aims to connect terminally ill to drugs in development BY
ALEXA ARMSTRONG
CRONKITE NEWS
PHOENIX – To Kurt Altman, terminally ill patients too often get caught up in the red tape of federal drug approval at the expense of receiving medicines that could help them. “We believe a person has a right to selfpreservation and to make their own choices on the means of that preservation,” said Altman, senior litigation counsel for the Goldwater Institute, an independent group that advocates for limited government. The Goldwater Institute is the main supporter of Proposition 303, billed as the “Right to Try.” If approved by Arizona voters, the measure would grant terminally ill people access to experimental drugs that have passed the first phase of FDA approval with a goal of prolonging or improving their lives. The Legislature referred the measure to the ballot based on a resolution authored by Rep. Phil Lovas, R-Peoria. “It’s for people who are out of options,” Lovas said in a phone interview. “We think this will give them an opportunity to try something that has shown promise.” “If you are terminally ill, you don’t have time to wait around for approval,” he added. But Rep. Eric Meyer, R-Paradise Valley, a former emergency room doctor, said supporters are more concerned with Washington’s control over patients’ options.
“They are sticking the finger in the eye of the federal government,” he said. Meyer, who voted against the resolution on the House floor, said the change would put patients at risk because the first phase of FDA approval, in which a drug is tested on healthy individuals, is far easier than the second phase, which tests for toxicity and efficacy. It’s not until a drug reaches the third phase that it’s tested on those with the disease in question. “Personally, I have dealt with patients who have died from the treatment, not the disease,” he said. But Altman said terminally ill people who have exhausted conventional treatments don’t have much to lose. “If you take this drug you might die, but the only people who are eligible for those drugs are going to die anyway,” he said. “How can a bureaucracy take that chance away from an individual?” Altman said something is wrong when it takes, on average, 10 to 25 years and $1 billion for a drug to go through the FDA’s approval system. “It’s important to get these medications to people, hopefully it will lead to some reform,” he said. The Goldwater Institute has been the primary donor to Your Right to Try, the main group supporting Proposition 303, contribut-
ing virtually all of the $71,000 raised by the group through Sept. 15. A group called Right 2 Try in Support of Prop. 303 also registered with the Arizona Secretary of State’s Office. Through Sept. 15, it had raised $2,525. There is no organized opposition to Proposition 303. Paul Bender, professor of constitutional law at Arizona State University’s Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law, said if the proposition were to pass he doesn’t know how it would be enforced, as federal law always trumps state law. He also said there may be consequences for doctors who follow the measure’s provisions. “If they prescribe drugs they are not supposed to, they lose their right to prescribe drugs,” Bender said. “Maybe there is an exception to things like that.” State Rep. Sonny Borrelli, R-Lake Havasu City, said the right to try is implicit in the U.S. Constitution. “Life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, I think you have the right to try and save your life,” he said. Lovas said the proposition is receiving a lot of support because it’s common sense. “It fills a need that is out there,” he said. “Everyone would want the option for a loved one if they were dying.”

Taking medications while breast-feeding may affect your breast milk and ultimately affect your child. Although many drugs are safe to use when you are breast-feeding, most will get into your milk to some degree and may even impact your milk supply. Exposure to medication in breast milk poses the greatest risk to premature babies, newborns, and babies who are medically unstable or have poor functioning kidneys. The risk is lowest for healthy babies 6 months and older. If you plan to take medication while breast-feeding, it is always best to check with your health care provider first. He or she may recommend that you stop breast-feeding temporarily or permanently, depending on how long you need to take the medication. If you need to stop breast-feeding only temporarily, you can use a breast pump to keep up your milk supply until you are able to breast-feed again. Simply discard the milk you pump while taking the medication. If you need to stop permanently, ask your health care provider or dietitian to help you choose an infant formula that meets your baby’s needs. There are many informative Internet sites that provide lists of the safe and not so safe medications for usage. A good rule of thumb is to avoid taking medications that aren’t necessary, such as herbal medications, high-dose vitamins and unusual supplements. Timing of medications is also important, For example, taking a medication immediately after breast-feeding might minimize your baby’s exposure. However, different drugs peak in breast milk at different times. When you’re taking medication, be sure to watch your baby for any unusual signs or symptoms, such as a change in eating or sleeping habits, fussiness or a rash. If you notice changes in your baby’s behavior contact your health care provider. Finally always consider the safest care for your baby in this situation, and never hesitate to contact a professional, before, during, or after breast-feeding for any questions you may have.
New mammogram screening guidelines BY
SALYNN BOYLES
WEBMD FEATURE - REVIEWED BY LOUISE CHANG, MD
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) is recommending sweeping changes in its breast cancer screening guidelines. The USPSTF, which is a group of independent health experts convened by the Department of Health and Human Services, reviewed and commissioned research to develop computer-
simulated models comparing the expected outcomes under different screening scenarios. Here are the USPSTF’s recommendations, based on all that work: • Routine screening of average-risk women should begin at age 50, instead of age 40. • Routine screening should end at age 74. • Women should get screening mammograms every two years instead of every year. • Breast self-exams have lit-

tle value, based on findings from several large studies. But the new recommendations may leave some women confused, since the American Cancer Society (and multiple other organizations) continues to recommend annual mammography screening for all healthy women beginning at age 40. What’s the bottom line on mammogram screening? WebMD asked breast cancer experts about the new USPSTF screening guidelines. Q – If a woman younger than 50 or older than 74 wants to get a screening mammogram, can she? A – The guidelines don’t ban anyone from getting a screening mammogram. But it’s not yet known if the new guidelines will affect mammography coverage by insurance companies and other providers. Task force vice-chair Diana B. Petitti, M.D., tells WebMD the new guidelines don’t apply to women with risk factors for breast cancer, such as BRCA mutations or a close family history of the disease. She adds that they also do not mean average-risk women who are younger than 50 or older than 74 should never be screened. “This is not telling (averagerisk) women in these age groups they can’t get screened,” Petitti says. “A woman who still wants to be screened after having the conversation with her clinician and considering the balance of benefits and harms should absolutely be screened.” Q – Will insurance pay for a
mammogram if I’m younger than 50 or older than 74? A – As for paying for those mammograms, the USPSTF recommendations are influential in guiding policy, but the group doesn’t make specific recommendations about reimbursement. It remains to be seen if the sweeping health care bill now being considered by Congress will reflect the new recommendations. American Cancer Society national volunteer president Elizabeth T.H. Fontham, M.D., says there is a good chance that Medicare and private insurers will stop paying for annual mammogram screenings and screening for women in their 40s and over 74. “Ultimately, this could increase economic disparities associated with breast cancer screening,” Fontham says. “Women who want to be screened and can pay for it can still get screened. But those who can’t pay may be out of luck.” Q – What if I find a lump and I’m younger than 50 or older than 74? A – The new guidelines are just about routine screening mammograms. They’re not about getting a mammogram when you have a lump or other suspicious finding or if you’re at high risk of breast cancer. Any woman, of any age, should get a suspicious lump or other breast change checked out. (Provided for publication by Payson Regional Medical Center.)

Losing weight could save you from cancer The Shangri-La Diet might be a gimmick; but just two-pound loss may be beneficial “What flax oil tastes the best?” asked the befuddled customer in the health care store, in the aisle where rumor, strange fads and good intention run head-on into overwhelming choices. I stopped and pondered the question. What she really meant was: “Which flax oil tastes least terrible?” “If you’re looking for an essential fatty acid, hemp oil tastes much better,” I suggested. “No,” she insisted. “Gotta have flax oil. I’m going on the Shangri-La Diet,” she informed me grimly. Huh? Now, I’ve heard of all kinds of diets, the paleo, vegan, the fasting diet, the Pritkin diet and even way back to the Scarsdale diet (now I’m dating myself) — but the Shangri-La Diet? The customer explained. “I’m supposed to have a tablespoon of flax oil before every meal to keep me from eating a lot,” she told me. “My friend has lost 20 pounds without any effort!” she gushed. Hmm … I decided I had to look into this diet because this week I’m supposed to write something about breast cancer and diet — and lots of studies show obesity increases the risk of breast cancer. Hmmm … if I could only find a magic diet that promised incredible results without much effort, maybe people would lose weight and find health because the research shows obesity

Digital mammography PRMC Breast cancer does not discriminate. It doesn’t care how old you are, where you live, what color of skin you have or how much money you have in the bank. Some of the most common risk factors for breast cancer are being female and growing older and can also include a family or personal history of breast cancer, early menstrual onset/late onset of menopause, use of oral contraceptives, use of hormone replacement therapy and alcohol use of more than two drinks per day. A breast cancer diagnosis affects more than just the patient — co-survivors (family, friends and co-workers) are affected too. Making healthy lifestyle choices may reduce your risk of breast cancer. One of these choices is to get a mammogram. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommend that women ages 50 to 74 get screened every two years while the American Cancer Society and others recommend a baseline beginning at age 40 with annual screenings. It is best to discuss the benefits, risks and limitations of a mammogram with your doctor.
FROM
What is a mammogram?
A mammogram is an X-ray of the breasts, used to detect and diagnose breast diseases. Screening mammography is used as a preventive measure for women who have no symptoms of breast disease. A screening mammogram usually involves two views of each breast. Diagnostic mammography involves additional views of the breast, and is used when an abnormality is found during screening, or in women who have breast complaints, such as a breast mass, nipple discharge, breast pain or skin irritation. Mammography is a very safe procedure that uses low doses of radiation to produce high quality X-rays. There are two kinds available: • Screen-film mammography — breast image is captured on X-ray film. The film is developed, and a physician who specializes in the interpretation of X-rays and other types of diagnostic imaging studies, reviews the films on a high intensity light box. • Digital mammography — the breast image is captured on specially designed digital detectors. The digital detector converts X-rays into an electrical signal, which is sent to a computer. The radiologist can review the digital mammogram on a high-resolution computer monitor. This technology is available at Payson Regional Medical Center. Is a mammogram painful?
Breast compression may cause some discomfort for a very short time during the X-ray, but should not be painful. At Payson Regional Medical Center’s Outpatient Imaging and Women’s Center, women are provided with a MammoPad® breast cushion during their mammogram. This pad provides a
warm, soft, comfortable experience during the breast compression. Breast compression helps obtain better images by spreading out the breast so the maximum amount of tissue can be examined. It also allows a lower X-ray dose to be used, since the X-ray beams pass through a thinner amount of tissue. Your mammogram may reveal that you have dense breast tissue. This is common and found in about 50 percent of women. A new Arizona law requires radiologists to notify women if they have dense breasts at the time they receive the results of their mammogram. Dense breast tissue can make it more difficult to detect cancers. Studies have also shown that patients with denser breasts may be more likely to develop breast cancer. This doesn’t mean they have a cancer. This law suggests that a next step would be for the patient to have a conversation with her primary care physician about additional tests that may be beneficial. This may include an ultrasound or one of two new technologies available today. The first is called tomosynthesis, also known as 3-D. It works like a regular mammogram, but instead of a couple of pictures, a series of images are taken that allow the radiologist to “see through” the breast tissue and detect subtle abnormalities. Another new technology is a contrast enhanced digital mammography (CEDM). CEDM is a bit different in that it allows the radiologist to see blood flow to suspected abnormalities. This test is similar to a breast MRI, but at a fraction of the cost and a fraction of the time. As always, it is a good idea to consult your primary care physician about the necessity for further testing if you have dense breast tissue.
the weight she wanted to nor have I heard of anyone else finding success with the Shangri-La Diet. But I don’t think she’ll last long eating that flax oil every day. It tastes terrible!

dieter feel less hungry between meals and more full faster at meals. (http://www.webmd.com/diet/shangrila-diet) Problem is, Roberts has no peerreviewed scientific studies to prove the diet works. His website has lots of stories from people with pictures of losing lots of weight, but who wants dinner with a mouthful of flax oil? I mean to keep the weight off, does a person have to eat flax oil every day for the rest of their life? What happens when you stop? According to research lots of diets help people lose even 10 or 15 percent of their body weight, but within one to five years the vast majority of people put on the lost weight and more. Depressing. But that just proves you can’t maintain long-term health and weight loss by charging off after the latest fad diet.

ROUNDUP SPORTS EDITOR
Late in Friday’s football game against visiting Snowflake, Longhorns’ quarterback Chaz Davis and tailback Wyatt Chapman were standing on the sidelines watching Payson’s defense try to slow down the Lobos’ offense. “I’ve never seen a team play this well,” Davis said of the Lobos. “They’re
so disciplined.” No doubt, the Lobos looked impressive as they rolled to a 65-27 victory to take control of the Section 5 standings. The game revealed the daunting task ahead of the Longhorns heading into the final two games of the regular season. The teams entered the game tied for first in the section and both riding fourgame winning streaks. But the Lobos, ranked No. 3 in Division 4, exploded for

nine touchdowns in one of the biggest games an offense has ever enjoyed against No. 10 Payson. Records aren’t complete, but it’s the most points PHS has allowed in MaxPreps.com records dating back to the 2004 season, topping Blue Ridge’s output in a 63-6 win in Payson last Oct. 25. “We came up against a team that played a great game and we didn’t play a great game tonight,” said Payson coach Jake Swartwood. “We played below average for us in all aspects of the game. It’s a complete team loss, starting from the coaching staff down.” Snowflake extended its winning streak against Payson to five games. The Lobos won 57-20 in Snowflake last season. Snowflake’s fifth straight victory left the Lobos 7-1 overall and 3-0 in Section 5. Payson fell to 5-3 and 2-1 in the section. The Lobos built a 58-13 lead to start a running clock (which occurs when teams go ahead by 42 points or more) with 29.4 seconds left in the third quarter before sending in the reserves. PHS battled back to stop the running clock in
the final period, but it was way too little and way too late as the Longhorns dropped into a second-place tie with Lakeside Blue Ridge and Show Low. A potent rushing attack has spearheaded Payson’s high-powered offense this season. Davis and Chapman were averaging a combined 281 rushing yards through the first seven games. But the Lobos held them to a combined 132 yards. Chapman managed 104 yards on 14 carries, but Snowflake held Davis, who entered the game averaging 12 yards a carry with 1,091 yards, to a season-low 28 yards on 14 totes. “They brought extra players that we’re not used to teams bringing,” Davis said. “They brought one kid to key on Wyatt and one kid to key on me, so it made the reads really hard to make.” While the Lobos contained him on the ground, Davis produced through the air, completing 13 of 21 passes for 197 yards and three touchdowns. Matt Davis caught two touchdown passes, one for 75 yards. The Horns play at Blue Ridge this week and close the regular season at home against Show Low on Oct. 31. Snowflake beat Blue Ridge 50-10 and faces Show Low this week. “That’s one of the best football teams in the state, hands down,” Swartwood said. “I feel we’re a good quality team. We’ve just got to do a better job. We’ve got two giant games left with hosting a first-round playoff game hanging in the balance. We’d sure like to host a playoff game and we’d sure like to beat Blue Ridge and Show Low, and that’s very realistic. But if we play the same way we played tonight, we won’t beat either of those teams.” Swartwood applauded the way his players handled the blowout. “It’s hard to stay focused and stay together when you’re losing by 50 points; you can get down and yell at each other and be ticked off and blame, and we didn’t see any of that,” the coach said. “We didn’t have bad sportsmanship, we didn’t have any of that stuff,
and I’m not surprised at all, because that’s not the kind of kids these are. These are kids that will stick together, they’ll fight for each other. We’re fortunate that we’ve got two more weeks of games. We will get better.” Snowflake 65, Payson 27 Snowflake Payson

ARIZONA GAME AND FISH DEPARTMENT
PHOENIX — Hunters who won’t be able to use their Arizona big game hunt permit-tag now have the option of transferring that tag to qualified 501(c)(3) organizations that provide hunting opportunities to veterans with service-related disabilities. The new tag transfer option is the result of legislation sponsored by Rep. Frank Pratt (Dist. 8) that went into effect in July. A tag transfer to a disabled veteran’s 501(c)(3) organization requires a big game tag transfer affidavit of voluntary donation and the tag. Contact the individual 501(c)(3) organization to obtain the transfer affidavit. A list of qualified organizations can be found at www.azgfd.gov/h_f/hunting.shtml (scroll about two-thirds down the page to the tag transfer information). The Arizona Game and Fish Department is unable to reimburse bonus points for transferred tags.

Virginia Daly McKenna Emminger 1919 9 - 2014
In October, Virginia Marie Bozzuffi Daly McKenna Emminger passed away at the age of 94. She had enjoyed a full and active life, outliving three husbands and maintaining her independent lifestyle until she suffered a stroke four months prior to her death.
inside. In addition, 60 local businesses contributed to raising awareness with sponsor ads on pages 11A and 2B of today’s Roundup. Swenson said, “I found my breast cancer when I was in the shower. It felt like a golf ball and I couldn’t remember the last time I had done a self breast exam. It could have been a month, three months, a year … this is why it is so very important to be consistent in your self breast exams. “I had a modified radical mastectomy on Sept. 20, 1982. I will never forget that date — it was my mother’s birthday. When my husband called her to tell her the news, she was waiting for a happy birthday call. “When my surgeon started talking about chemotherapy, I was so ignorant of that term. When he explained that was treatment with chemicals, I said, ‘Okay, I can swallow anything.’ Then he explained about the IV’s and I told him that I had two phobias — one was vomiting and one was needles. Oh well. “Even more traumatic to me than losing my breast was when my hair went. It came out in hunks and I kept it all in a Baggie® until it grew back. The American Cancer Society provided wigs. One day I would wear a scarf, then next day I would be a redhead, the day after that a brunette and then a blond. I would go from short to long hair in the twinkling of an eye. “I had a Native American neighbor that brought over some herb tea. She gathered little white flowers in May, mixed it with mint that grew wild in her garden. The mint had no healing properties, but the little white flower did — it was for nausea — the mint just made it easier to gag the other down. I had it by my bedside and would gulp it down right after I vomited. It would settle my stomach for awhile. Also, I could keep down anything that
did not have an odor. I lived off cottage cheese, pears and celery — if I smelled it, it wouldn’t go down. “This was 32 years ago. Times and treatments have changed since then. Medicine has become more ‘friendly’ and tailored to specific cancers. They now have anti-nausea medicines that really work. But early detection hasn’t changed — you have to be responsible for your body. You have to do the self breast exams. You have to be pro-active. I still get my mammograms; still do the self breast exam — only takes me half as long now. Thirty-two years ago I had no grandchildren. I now have 11 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. Life is good.” Sapp is a 10-year survivor. Like Swenson, she discovered her cancer through a selfexam. “I had dense breasts and it wasn’t caught by the mammogram,” she said. She was in treatment for three years for the aggressive form of breast cancer she developed. Now, she is the area’s only Reach for Recovery volunteer — working one-onone with women diagnosed with breast cancer to provide them with information about the resources available to them directly and online. Both women participate in the Reaching Out Breast Cancer Support Group, which meets from 12:30 p.m. to 2 p.m., every second Thursday of the month at Mount Cross Lutheran Church, 601 E. Highway 260, Payson. It was organized in the mid-1990s and the two have been involved with it since each came to the Rim Country — Swenson in 2000 from Texas and Sapp in 2003 from the Valley. Sapp has stayed active in the group for the support it offers and the opportunity to hear about the latest treatments. “The caring of the group,” keeps Swenson attending. “There is complete acceptance and understanding.” “I think of us like a group of soldiers. We have shared a similar experience and can all
O B I T U A R I E S Donald “Don” Wilson (1958-2014) Donald “Don” Wilson, 56, of Forest Lakes, Ariz. passed peacefully on Friday, Oct. 17, 2014 surrounded by his family after a long battle with cancer. He was born Sept. 24, 1958 in Phoenix to Tom and Dale Wilson. He married Tama Cline Sept. 1, 1980 in Lake Tahoe, Calif. She survives along with three sons, Brandon (Diana) Wilson, Adam (Angela) Wilson, Matthew Wilson; three beautiful grandchildren; his

Edward Leroy Freeman (1926-2014) Edward Leroy Freeman, born March 16, 1926 in Lawndale, Calif., peacefully passed away Oct. 10, 2014 in Payson, Ariz. During World War II, Ed honorably served in the U. S. Navy aboard the U. S. S. Bennington in the South Pacific. After his military service, he went to work for Standard Oil. Later he worked for Paramount Studios until retiring in 1988. At that time he and his wife of 36 years, Carley, moved to Payson, where they purchased property in 1980. Ed loved his family most of all. He enjoyed bowling, traveling and making friends everywhere he and Carley went. In addition to Carley, Ed is
survived by his three children, Linda L. Nava, Edward T. and Gordon R. Freeman; two step-children, Mike Barnes and Renay Cotter; 12 grandchildren, Gary, Tara, Eddie Jr., Sheb, Chad, Josh, Erik, Mandi, Gabe, Leah, Greg and Justin; 19 great-grandchildren; a sister, Juanita; and a brother, Mervil Lee.

Virginia was the daughter of the late Elsie and Anthony Bozzuffi and sister of the late Eugene Bozzuffi. She was born in New York but grew up in the Mt. Washington area of Baltimore, Maryland where she attended Garrison Jr. High and Forest Park High School. An accomplished singer, Virginia performed at school functions, local venues, and on the radio. In 1939 Virginia gave up the opportunity of a Hollywood audition with MGM and instead married C. Robert Daly of Baltimore. Four years after the birth of their son, Virginia was widowed when Robert passed away. Virginia later married Owen F. McKenna. While living in Baltimore, she worked for the Army Corps of Engineers and the Census Bureau. In 1958 they moved to Howard County where Virginia worked for the Supervisor of Assessments. In 1972 Virginia and Owen retired to Palmetto, Florida, to enjoy life on Terra Ceia Bay. Virginia was again widowed when Owen died in 1983. In her 60’s Virginia enrolled in art classes and found that she had both a talent and a passion for painting. Her art work included landscapes, flowers, animals and portraits. Virginia later married Harold “Jake” Emminger, known as the “Pineapple King of Florida”. She found great joy in designing and decorating the new home they built in the River Wilderness community where they enjoyed many happy years. After Harold’s death in 2008, Virginia moved to Arizona to be near family. She will be remembered for her flair for decorating, her concern for animals (especially her pet cats), and a devout attention to her appearance that enabled her to look much younger than her actual age! She is survived by her son, C. Robert Daly, who resides with his wife Donna (nee Cole) in Payson, Arizona.
Celebration of Life ceremonies will be held in both Arizona and Florida at dates to be determined. Virginia’s ashes will be transported to Florida -- a place she held dear to her heart.
support one another.” The group has seen women in their 20s participate, as well as longtime retirees. When a speaker is on the agenda, about 15 people will attend, otherwise, there is a core of six or seven. Among the charter members still attending are Aggie Hansen, Lyn Andrews and Fern Spears. “Weather is also a factor. A lot of our older members don’t like to drive in bad weather,” Swenson said. The group also supports the Reach for Recovery program, which is in need of volunteers. The Reach for Recovery program starts with a physician referring a breast cancer patient to it, or contacting Sapp with the patient’s information, if requested. The patient calls her or she calls them and there is an offer for a personal visit. If that is accepted, Sapp takes the woman material on treatment, procedures and resources. She also takes along a support pillow, specially designed to ease the pain and strain following surgery. If requested, she will make a followup visit. Sapp said she was recruited to be a Reach for Recovery volunteer by Aggie Hansen. At that time there were three volunteers with the program and each made about three calls a month. She is a solo act now and the calls for the service have dropped too. Sapp is willing to make more calls and said if others are interested in volunteering for the program, they can call her. To be a volunteer, an individual must be a breast cancer survivor and willing to participate in specialty training. “If at least two people are interested, a trainer will come up here,” she said. To learn more about the Reach for Recovery program, call Sapp at (602) 3970267. For additional details about the support group, contact Swenson at (928) 472-3331.
Betty Jo Gibson (1932-2014) Betty Jo Gibson, 82, of Payson, Ariz., died Oct. 11, 2014 in Gilbert, Ariz., after a battle with cancer. She was born in Lusk, Wyo. June 6, 1932 to Bertrum and Helena (Kuhn) Gibson. She worked as a nurse’s aide after attended St. Agnes Academy in Alliance, Neb., and Lusk High School in Lusk, Wyo. She served in the military from 1953 to 1957 and dedicated her life to helping people in the medical field. She enjoyed all sports. Survivors include her sister,
Carmen Hardesty of Payson; two grandchildren, Bret Gibson of Gilbert, Ariz., and Joe Gibson of Seattle, Wash.; four great-grandchildren, Brooklyn, Zachary, Abigail and Gavin; two nieces, Holli and Debbie and a nephew, James.

Frances C. Cook (1960-2014) Frances C. Cook passed away unexpectedly in her Payson home Oct. 14, 2014, just five days after her 54th birthday. Born in Royal Oak, Mich. to the late Frank and Ellen (Carritte) Huft, Fran moved to the Phoenix area with her family in the late 1960s. On Sept. 1, 2000 she married Randall A. Cook. Fran enjoyed volunteering her time and talents with the Humane Society of Central Arizona in Payson. And along with Randy, she liked motorcycle riding. In addition to Randy, Fran is survived by the love of her life,
her son, Peter Jason Dodge. Additionally, she is survived by two brothers, Robert (Barbara) Huft and John “Jack” (Teresa) Huft. For those wanting to honor Fran, contributions may be made to the Humane Society of Central Arizona, P. O. Box 242, Payson, AZ 85547 or any organization benefiting those with Autism.

Residents question RV park plan BY ALEXIS BECHMAN ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

PAYSON GETS MOVING The Payson Seventh-day Adventist Church joined some 50 other faith and community organizations in supporting Let’s Move Day recently at Rumsey Park. Children and adults of all ages came out for the day for activities that included walking, Zumba, stretching, hula hoops, jumping rope, and other fun activities. Daniel Walling of the PHS Yo-Yo Club gave a super demonstration of yo-yo skills and tricks that wowed the crowd. Ann Ng, 87, was the event’s oldest participant and David Schalesky, age 4, was the youngest. Prizes were awarded to the participants who walked the most laps, jumped rope or hula hooped the longest. There was no cost for the event and free health literature, water and snacks were given away. Let’s Move Payson leader Kathy Siler says “Our goal was to help children and adults experience the fun of being physically active and fight childhood obesity and lifestyle diseases.”
A man’s plan to develop a small RV park in a Payson neighborhood is raising concerns among some residents. At a Planning and Zoning Commission meeting Monday, Oct. 13, On the Road Again RV owner Bryan Teague asked the commission to grant him a conditional use permit (CUP) for a park at 519 E. Granite Dells Road, across from Rim Country Veterinary Clinic. What is now an RV storage yard Teague would turn into a 23-space park and use a metal building on the property that currently houses a feed and hay store, as a repair shop. Teague said most of the park’s users would be shortterm, either just the weekends or the summer months. While people could sign a year lease, he envisions it more for weekenders who want to escape the heat. While Teague doesn’t own
the property yet, he wants to get things started. Site drawings show trailer spots lining the perimeter of the now-dirt lot with trees added throughout and reportedly a new fence. “We are going to make it look nice,” he said. Drawings also show moving the current catty-corner entrance to sit perpendicular with South Bentley Street. This worried some residents at the meeting who questioned if large fifth-wheels pulling in and out of the park would hold up traffic on Bentley Street, a narrow, heavily used roadway. LaRon Garrett, assistant town manager, said as long as Teague made the opening wide enough, RVs can pull in and out. Commission chair Jeff Loyd agreed with several residents that holding up traffic with RV traffic on that busy road is a “big deal.” One woman asked if the property had utility hookups and if it didn’t how long con-
struction work in the street would close or delay access on Bentley. Teague said crews would have to add a sewer connection on the south end of the property from a line currently running below the street (this would eliminate the site’s current septic system). There is already power to the site, but crews would add a power pole at the corner of Granite Dells Road and Bentley Street. Garrett said trenching down and hooking up the sewer line would likely only take a few hours so traffic interruptions would be minimal. Still, one woman said the lot lacks the space to accommodate RVs on Bentley. The commission granted Teague the CUP. Teague started On the Road Again RV in 2012, which offers mobile RV service and repair to customers around Rim Country, including Happy Jack and Forest Lakes, according to the website.

Fox Farm rezoning confusion BY
ALEXIS BECHMAN
ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER
Payson Mayor Kenny Evans says it was all a mix up — lawyers making a muddled mess out of plans to rezone the Fox Farm/Rim Ranch. That was his claim Thursday night when the town held a public hearing on annexing 80 acres at the end of Granite Dells Road where a developer reportedly plans to place an ammunition manufacturing facility and other ancillary businesses. At a planning commission meeting last week, town staff said the developer of the property would “most likely” seek rezoning of the land through Gila County and not Payson. This set off a barrage of questions by residents concerned they would not have a say in the industrial rezoning process. On Thursday, Evans said the town would indeed rezone the property and the owner and developer had only explored the county’s rezoning policies. The confusion occurred with the property owner’s lawyer contacted Town Attorney Tim Wright and said they needed time to understand the county requirements before going forward with Payson. “There was a presumption that they were going to go to the county and that was the reason for their request that the action by the town be delayed,” Evans said. “That was a miscommunication. They went to the county to talk about the county requirements just in case the annexation didn’t go forward or just in case it was not done by the town. They wanted to know what they were going to be left with for that property. It was not an attempt to go to the county and do the zoning.” Evans showed councilor Ed Blair and the Roundup a copy of an email between the property owner and developer confirming they would seek rezoning “only” through the town. He would not give the Roundup a copy though because it came from his personal email account. A call by the Roundup to the potential buyer of
the property wasn’t returned by press time. The town took no action on the issue Thursday night, but merely gathered more citizen comments. Several weeks ago, the town filed a blank annexation with the county recorder’s office to add the Rim Ranch to the town’s boundaries. The owners of the property, the Rim Trust, could then sign the petition to annex with the town. They have a one-year window to do so. If they do, the council will hold two public hearings to officially annex in the property. The property will enter the town with the county zoning designation. “It would be up to the council concurrently with that or subsequent to that you could also review potential rezoning for the property,” Wright said. Several residents Thursday voiced their concerns again. Most said they don’t oppose the annexation, but question plans to build an industrial park in one of the area’s most pristine areas. Many expressed frustration about the lack of information or drawings of the proposed facilities planned for the 80 acres. The developer won’t buy any of the 760 surrounding Forest Service-owned acres the town recently annexed from Star Valley. Resident Leon Keddington said he would like to see improvement plans for the project, including those for Granite Dells Road and an on-site wastewater system. Resident Barbara Buntin said she was all for the annexation and the potential business, which could bring better jobs to Payson. “For the people that will live here I would like to see them have better paying jobs. This business would afford that ... I do not want to see Payson only attract fast food jobs because that is all that we can imagine,” she said. She agreed the developer/owner needs to convey their plans better. “There are a lot of conspiracy theories going around in part because there is no communication,” she said.

Town lowers public records fee BY
ALEXIS BECHMAN
ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER
The Town of Payson last week updated its public records policy, making it easier and cheaper for residents to get documents. While records were always free to review, to get a copy of a record, a resident had to shell out 50 cents a page. On Thursday, the fee dropped to 25 cents a page, said Town Clerk Sylvia Smith. And residents are now free to make a copy of a record using their cell phone camera, free of charge. “You could technically wheel a copy machine in here and make copies if you want, but we might charge you for the electricity to run the machine,” said Town Attorney Tim Wright. Under Arizona law, an agency can only charge for the cost of making a copy, but cannot bill for the time it takes a clerk or town staff to search for and redact a record. Last year, the Roundup reported on how much local agencies charge for records, many of which, like the Gila County Sheriff’s Office charge a flat fee — in the GCSO case $8 for a police report, even if it was just a few pages long. The Roundup questioned if this is too high. David Cuillier, director and associate professor at the University of Arizona’s School of Journalism, said high fees price people out of their government and the Founding Fathers believed the government ought to provide information free. “That’s why they made copies of congressional records and shipped them out to the frontier for people to read for free. That’s why they created federal depository libraries to provide government records to the people — for free. The thinking was that people already paid for the creation of the records through their taxes, and that they should not have to pay again,” he said.

And today, in an age when almost all documents are electronic, it makes no sense to print and charge residents at all. Arizona’s Public Records Law guarantees residents access to nearly all records held in public offices, with a handful of exceptions. The law also does not specifically address using a camera to copy a document, but when in question, the statute stipulates open access to citizens, said attorney Catherine Marquoit, assistant Arizona ombudsman for public access, who spoke with the Roundup last year. She said citizens can use a cell phone or camera to copy a report, but many agencies don’t understand that. The Department of Public Safety has for some time allowed people to make copies of records with a cell phone. The Roundup requested the town and GCSO follow suit. So far, the GCSO has said it is looking into the idea, but has not updated its records policy. In June, the town adopted a new fees and charges schedule and last week amended it specifically stating documents can be photographed free of charge. The town will also email digital copies of records free if they do not require redactions. Otherwise, the first 20 pages are free electronically and 10 cents a page thereafter. To fax a document locally, the town will charge 10 cents a page and a dollar for long distance faxes. Smith said the new schedule is great both for residents and town employees. If an employee loses their handbook, for example, they can review it at town hall and instead of having to pay for a copy, can snap a photo of the page free. The town has also made it easier for residents to request documents. While you can still fax in a record’s request, the town has added a link on its website to electronically request a record.
Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD.

Tale of the somber pine and the giddy aspen ... Fall flares across Rim Country in winter s shadow BY
PETE ALESHIRE
ROUNDUP EDITOR
Fall color peaked last week among the aspen and maple trees atop the Rim and at the San Francisco Peaks. The cottonwoods and sycamores are just starting to turn around Payson. Aspens probably constitute the oldest, largest organisms on earth — but they’re in terrible shape here in the West, dying mysteriously. They stop making green chlorophyll in the fall, preparing to shed their leaves to avoid frost damage in the oncoming winter. The shift leaves a variety of other chemicals behind in the now expendable leaves, creating the luminous yellow hue that sets whole hillsides ablaze. The largest, oldest aspen grove in the West lies on about 100 acres of a hillside in Utah. Aspens grow genetically identical clones from a vast, hidden root base. An 80-foot-tall aspen will send roots questing out in all directions and at intervals new trees will sprout from the roots. Each tree contributes to the hidden root mass, which can eventually cover a whole hillside. In that grove, every tree has the same genetic code — and they’re all the same sex. Scientists have dubbed the giant grove in Utah Pando, or the “Trembling Giant.” It’s the largest organism on the planet — weighing 6,600 tons and including 40,000 sprouted trees. Experts put the age of the grove at between 80,000 and 1 million years old. So the roots of this single organism date back to at least a time when modern humans begin their explosive spread across the planet from their African origins.
But researchers say Pando’s dying very slowly and inexorably, for reasons they still can’t unravel. Aspens love deep winters and cool summers. Their shoots grow quickly, sprouting from the hidden root mass after fires have cleared away the compe-

The leaves flittered down, trembling all the way to the golden ground. I shuttered away, in love with luminous yellow in an aspen grove on the slopes of an ancient volcano. The peaks are sacred to the Navajo, who call them Dook’o’oosliid and associate them with the color yellow, for the sunset, for the aspens, for the lurid, saturated, infatuation of fall. Fall snuck up on me this year, with mild nights and bright days. But last week the indefatigable DJ Craig sent me some photos of a grove of aspen and maple trees atop the Mogollon Rim, including some on the shores of Bear Canyon Lake. Then Jeep maestro Chuck Jacobs sent me some more photos the Rim Country 4 Wheelers took on a trek last Saturday, also to the top of the Rim. Clearly, the best time of year has launched itself like a teenage crush. But on Saturday I had some business in Flagstaff, so I couldn’t head off for the aspen groves on the Rim. But as we prepared to head home after a long day, I remembered the aspens of Mt. Humphreys, a massive volcano that built up between 1 million and 400,000 years ago, before blowing its top in a blast that dwarfed St. Helens. So instead of trundling home, we found ourselves suddenly headed north for the Snowbowl Road. Half an hour later, we found ourselves standing in an aspen grove. The slender white-barked aspens contended with the somber, dark-green ponderosa pines, reaching for the overcast sky. Heartshaped leaves carpeted the ground, creating exquisite still life compositions on the logs and rocks. The golden leaves still on the tree trembled, fluttering in even a faint breeze. The experts still debate why the aspen leaves quiver so, but suspect it’s an effort by the sun-loving aspens to expose as much leaf to light as possible. A breeze rose up, setting the forest all aquiver — soothing my heart in the shadow of winter.

CAT BENATAR I’m an adorable little girl who loves to play and have a good time! I’m really friendly and would love to play if you want to! I’m also not shy about asking for love. I love petting and cuddling. I am no “Heartbreaker!” I think I would make a great pet for anyone, so what do you say?
Aladdin
Cat Benatar still a bit defensive when I meet new dogs. The people at the shelter are working on it, though! Hopefully I will learn to make friends soon! And if not, you can have me all to yourself!
ALADDIN I am a young, outgoing pup ready for some fun! I am eager to meet new people and will gladly come over to say “Hi!” Bonus points if you throw the ball or take me for a walk! I like all the doggie basics: toys, tug, walks, wrestling and fetch. Well, in my case, fetch is more like chase the ball until it stops and then ignore it! It’s that puppy attention span. There’s always so much else to see! One thing I am not a huge fan of is other dogs. I know it’s hard to believe for a young guy like me! I must have had some unpleasant first encounters as a baby, because I am

P-S Fire District honors local heroes BY
MAX FOSTER
SPECIAL TO THE ROUNDUP
An overflow crowd of Pine and Strawberry residents packed the local fire station on Oct. 15 for a monthly fire board meeting in which a longtime fire captain hung up her turnout gear and three other firefighters were promoted. Mella Smith, a fire captain and paramedic who had been with the department in various roles for 26 years, retired officially on Sept. 30. Promotions were awarded to Zach Graham, Tommy Cordova and Shane Johnson. Smith joined the department in 1988 as a reserve firefighter and was promoted in 1993 to full-time firefighter. In 1994, she obtained her paramedic certification and a year later was named a department captain. Over the years of her career, the sight of Smith rushing to aid the injured and maimed has allowed onlookers to breathe a sigh of relief. Smith appeared at the ceremony in street clothes and wearing earphones rather than the crisp freshly ironed uniforms of the three officers being promoted. Answering a question from Fire Chief Gary Morris about the absence of a uniform, Smith replied “I packed it away and couldn’t find it,” — a response that drew chuckles from her longtime friends in the audience. Morris introduced Smith as a “local character” clarifying it as an entirely laudatory portrayal considering what the firefighter had contributed to the department over the years.
Pine Fire Chief Gary Morris and several board members presented fire captain and paramedic Mella Smith (center) with a plague to honor her 26 years of service. Later, Morris presented the retiring captain who was accompanied by her husband, Don, with the traditional hefty commemorative plaque fitted with a full size fireman’s ax. Graham, formerly a fire engineer, was promoted to fire captain to fill the vacancy created by Smith’s retirement. Cordova, a firefighter, moved up in rank to fire engineer to fill Graham’s spot on the department roster. Johnson received a promotion to fire engineer to replace Don Voakes, who retired in August. “Shane is also responsible for all the fire vehicle maintenance for the department,” Morris said.
The chief wrapped up the rituals by asking each of the fireman’s wives to pin the newly earned badges on their husbands. The tradition has long been a part of promotion ceremonies in the Pine Strawberry Fire Department, but the trio of gleaming spouses all struggled to pin and lock the badges in just the right spot. “Don’t stick me,” one officer deadpanned. “Maybe we should use Velcro rather than pins,” an audience member laughingly whispered as he watched the wives’ futility. When the badges were finally pinned in place, each wife hugged and kissed her husband as the obviously appreciative audience stood and cheered.

PAYSON ROUNDUP OUTDOORS TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2014 Fall Color Fix Last weekend, aspen and maple trees were peaking in the higher elevations. Roundup reporter Alexis Bechman snapped the shot of maples in the Sierra Anchas near Workman Creek Falls (far left). Photographer DJ Craig captured the photo at left of the aspen trees on the shores of Bear Canyon Lake, off Forest Road 300 atop the Rim. The aspens will still show lots of color at the higher elevations this weekend, but don’t wait much longer to get your fix. The cottonwoods and sycamores along the East Verde have just started to turn.
Pete Aleshire snapped this leaf and log still life on Mt. Humphreys.
Chuck Jacobs captured this image with the Jeep club off Forest Road 300 last weekend.
Fall color love story From page 1B tition. The above-ground tree lasts for perhaps 150 years, before it falls to time, drought, wind and rot. The fresh sprouts have a hard time of it, since they’re candy to elk and cattle. The inexorable decline of aspens across the West remains a mystery. The loss of the aspens will impoverish fall — and affect a host of wild creatures. Most experts blame the decline of aspens on a dramatic change in wildfire patterns. Across the West, we’ve replaced frequent, low-intensity ground fires with massive, super-hot crown fires that burn. The lack of frequent fires has allowed pines to overshadow the aspens. Meanwhile, the explosive growth of elk populations coupled with cattle grazing may also play a role. The leaf-eaters love the tender young aspens, usually gobbling them up before they can get to the seven-foot height that gives them a good chance at survival. The 20-year drought hasn’t helped, with aspens struggling to suck up enough water through the roots to keep the tops of the trees alive. I felt a pang of grief and fear for these remarkable trees wandering along that loop trail about halfway up the mountain. I felt breathless with the beauty of the aspens’ glow of the yellow leaves against the dark green of the patient ponderosas.
Aspens flare like love, with a reckless glory. The ponderosas invest heavily in their tough, winter-resistant pine needles. They grow slowly and persist for 800 years. They must sway in baffled condescension at the aspens, which rise up through the ash, stretch their naked limbs to the brilliant sky, but fade in 100 years — a ponderosa’s one-night stand. But the careful and deliberate ponderosas mistake the aspens — as the cynic mistakes love. The stoic and enduring pines cannot see the buried root mountain of roots that feeds such golden passion. I noted the lowering angle of the sun and wondered if we still had time to make the parking lot of the ski resort with its sweeping views of slopes covered with aspen clones, trembling at the edge of winter. So I put away the camera and we doubled our pace. We climbed into the car and rushed up the hill to the overlook of a great meadow bordered with aspens. The sun dropped through a great tumbled mass of clouds, only to emerge for a brief and violent glory in the gap between the bottom of the clouds and the edge of the earth. We stood stupefied as the last light fell upon the trembling leaves of a line of aspens. The golden leaves flared bravely against the gathering dark, like love, like life. For love is a trembling glory, with a vast, hidden root down deep.
