This young bull elk showed up in Debera Butler’s yard with a child’s rubber swing tangled up in his antlers. When no one else would help — she tackled the problem herself.

So far as her friends and neighbors are concerned: She’s the Elk Whisperer.

That’s because Debera Butler worked for 10 hours calming, coaxing a bull elk to remove a tire swing tangled in his antlers.

Clearly, the elk had visited a playground — but wasn’t having any fun.

A small animal veterinarian, Butler was on the back porch of her Pine home the morning of Sept. 3 when she encountered a strange sight. She often saw elk, javelina and deer in her neighborhood — but had never seen an elk with a tire swing wrapped around its horns. The animal was obviously in distress, with had called earlier about the hapless elk the rope from the tire swing wound tight the day before.

A Star Valley man remains in critical condition after his truck crashed into a friend’s vehicle early Saturday morning east of Payson.

Zachary Tatman, 22, was heading eastbound on State Route 260 at 3:35 a.m. when for unknown reasons his truck swerved, drifting off the south side of the road, said Police Chief Don Engler.

Detectives believe Tatman overcorrected and the vehicle went back into the eastbound lanes. Tatman’s friend, Tyson Lee Clark, 35, was driving behind Tatman in his pickup. It appears Clark tried to avoid Tatman’s truck, but the vehicles collided, crossing over the westbound lanes, smashing into the guardrail, going down a ravine, with both trucks landing on

their roofs, just west of the Chaparral Pines entrance.

Tatman was ejected from his truck.

A helicopter flew him from the scene to a Valley hospital in very critical condition.

Paramedics took Clark to Banner Payson Medical Center. He was later released.

Officers arrested Clark for DUI. Detectives believe Tatman had also been drinking.

A third vehicle traveling with Tatman and Clark was not involved in the wreck and police arrested no one in that vehicle.

Tatman remains in critical condition, Engler said.

Police had 260 closed throughout Saturday morning and the highway restricted to two lanes at other times while they investigated.

Butler started talking to the elk, asking him to let her help him.

“I was not scared, for whatever reason,” Butler told the Roundup last week.

“Maybe because I could read him.”

She told the bull elk over and over again that she just wanted to help him.

“He trusted me, that is all I can say,” she said.

Star Wars dominated the theme of the Town of Payson’s Annual Trunk or Treat extravaganza — guess everyone can’t hold back the excitement over the new Disney Star Wars movie slated to open on Dec. 15.

The town took over the General Merchandise building on the corner of Main and McLane to entertain children and adults.

Town employees dressed as Storm Troopers, Jedi Knights, Queen Padme Amidala, Sith Lord Darth Maul, Darth Vader as well as numerous other characters.

“We estimated that there were about 275 people that went through the Star Wars experience,” said Cameron Davis, director of the Town of Payson’s Parks and Recreation Department.

Folks could pose for pictures with their favorite character and get their autographs.

On Main, the little ones were treated to a seat in an X-wing fighter.

“All the characters were great and really went out of their way to make it a special night for so many small kids,” said Davis.

On the street, businesses and organizations set up booths out of the back of cars to offer trick or treaters all sorts of candy.

“We had 31 total business trunks this year,” said Davis.

He said the town passed out 41 cases of candy. “(We) had a half a case left over,” said Davis.

In front of the Oxbow, DJ Craig spun tunes to entertain the approximately 1,500 to 1,800 attendees. “…another great public event,” said Davis.

Judge rules on pot dispensary conflict by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

After an 18-month legal battle, a judge has ruled on who actually owns Payson’s Uncle Herbs marijuana dispensary, but the twisted story appears far from over.

A judge recently ended the receivership set in place to keep things going while the owners hashed out an agreement in December.

After a three-day bench trial, the judge ruled on how much Andrew Provencio and Tiffany Young each owned, how much each had put into the business and who was still owed money — despite what the judge called “woefully inadequate” record keeping.

Judge Randall Warner ruled Provencio owns 80 percent of the business and Young, 20 percent.

Nonetheless, Young said she doesn’t know what role she will play in the business and wound up with more questions than answers after the Oct. 18 ruling.

On the other hand, Provencio says he is ready to move forward without Young and run Uncle Herbs on his own.

Young actually has an interest in marijuana operations in another state as well.

The Alaska Marijuana Control Board in late October unanimously denied a dispensary license to Young’s aunt. The board there questioned the role of Young’s company Happiedaze LLC of Arizona in her aunt’s application. Under Alaskan law, all marijuana licensees must be Alaska residents and no other entity can have a financial interest in the business, according to a story by the Alaska Dispatch News.

Young maintains she is just consulting for her aunt.

Provencio said he has no dispensary partnerships in Alaska.

Back in Arizona, Uncle Herbs opened in 2013 after voters approved legislation that lets residents use pot to treat certain medical conditions. Provencio, a former Alaskan firefighter, met Young, a Valley real estate agent, when he wanted to buy some property in the Valley, according to court documents. With Young’s management and real estate knowledge, her husband’s expertise growing marijuana and extracting cannabinoids to make marijuana-infused products and Provencio’s money and business experience, they became partners to open a medical marijuana dispensary.

After winning the state lottery to open the only dispensary in Payson, the group set up Uncle Herbs on North Tonto Street.

Matt Young developed a trade secret formula for creating marijuana extract and edible products using that extract, according to court documents. The dispensary grew in popularity and was soon shipping its edible products around the state to other dispensaries.

Things fell apart though when disagreements brewed between Provencio and the couple.

Young said she felt money was not being properly accounted for and decided to “blow the whistle” during a shareholder meeting.

Provencio vehemently denies any wrongdoing.

This threw the owners in litigation and the business into a receivership as the owners hashed things out in court.

Uncle Herbs has been under a receivership since April 2015.

Warner held a bench trial to figure out who owns what percentage of Uncle Herbs.

Warner deferred to later proceedings to

As the overnight temperatures start to fall, the Payson Fire Department is reminding residents to think twice before using their chimney or space heater to stay warm.

Now is the time to get your chimney swept and to make sure your space heater is working properly.

In the past five years, there have been eight chimney fires in Payson. There were also five fires that started as a result of overloaded electrical circuits, such as plugging too many lights into an outlet or running a space heater.

Last year, a Tonto Basin home was destroyed and two dogs were killed after a homeowner left a space heater running in the living room when he went out camping.

In May, a woman discovered a fire had erupted in a bedroom of her home where

Andrew Provencio, 80 percent owner of Uncle Herbs medical marijuana dispensary in Payson, plans to expand the kitchen and edible products offered by the business. address other claims Provencio and Young have lobbed at each other.

During the trial, Warner learned Uncle Herbs was opened under Desert Medical Campus, Inc. with Provencio and Young as shareholders.

Although dispensaries are nonprofit in the state of Arizona, both planned to make money from the sale of marijuana through the business, court documents state.

Provencio and the Youngs agreed that Provencio would provide financing, Tiffany would operate the business and Matt would offer marijuana expertise as an employee.

They did not document how much financing Provencio would contribute, how much of it would be capital or loans and what terms of repayment on the loans.

They also did not document how much Young would have to put in through “sweat equity” to earn her ownership share.

They did agree in the dispensary application that Provencio would own 80 percent and Young 20 percent of Desert Medical Campus.

Young produced a document that reportedly said she owned half of the business, but the judge ruled that is not binding because Provencio did not sign it.

“Even in their discussions, Mr. Provencio never said he would relinquish majority control over the company,” Warner wrote.

“He always insisted on being the majority owner.”

Warner also ruled that Matt didn’t own a share of the business. Provencio and Matt did discuss making him part owner eventually, but never actually struck a deal.

Provencio loaned the company money to open and operate.

“Ms. Young knew Mr. Provencio was making loans to the company, although he did not keep track of how much,” Warner wrote. “Mr. Provencio also took money out of the company. He did not document well whether these withdrawals were to repay loans, reimburse expenses or for other purposes.”

Several times, Provencio wrote checks to himself, but he did not keep a clean account of them.

Young maintains hundreds of thousands of dollars went missing from the business.

Provencio believes the Youngs took the money. Young believes Provencio took it.

A forensic accountant looked at Uncle Herbs’ books and determined Provencio contributed nearly a million dollars to the business in the form of loans. He is still

owed some $450,000.

Young said that audit was not complete and she would like to see a full audit of Uncle Herbs’ books. However, she said she cannot afford to pay for such an audit.

In the end, the Youngs did not persuade the judge that Provencio owes the company any money or that the company owes the Youngs money. On the other hand, the judge also rejected Provencio’s claims that the Youngs owe the company money.

Therefore, Provencio owns 80 percent of the business and Young 20 percent and the company owes Provencio $446,000 in loans.

Therefore, Warner returned the business to Provencio’s control starting Dec. 1.

Young said she’s still pursuing criminal charges concerning alleged misappropriation of funds.

Provencio said he has done nothing illegal and does not believe any charges will be brought against him.

Young questions where the millions generated by DMC have gone.

“So far, I believe, we have only identified a fraction of DMC’s missing proceeds,” she wrote in an email. “There is no question at this point that Provencio is responsible for taking (nearly half a million dollars) for himself.”

Provencio denies such claims.

Provencio said he is not living in the lap of luxury. Instead, he said he lives in one-bedroom apartment to cut costs.

Provencio said the legal dispute with the Youngs has been exhausting, but he remains committed to the business.

“I am looking to run a phenomenal operation,” he said, adding he wants to expand Uncle Herbs’ kitchen and line of edibles.

He does not believe he and the Youngs can ever work together again.

Young said she would not stop fighting.

“As you know, these things take a significant (amount) of time to sort through. I believe, in time, there will be harsh consequences for the unfortunate acts that have occurred,” she wrote.

Provencio said the court ruling made it clear he owns the business and has not engaged in any wrongful or inappropriate conduct.

He plans to manage and operate Uncle Herbs with a commitment to providing quality medicine.

“We look forward to being a leading business in this industry as well as a great employer for Payson,” he wrote.

she had left a space heater running. And in 2013, a Mesa del Caballo couple lost their home and three dogs when a space heater they left on to keep their plants from freezing on a front porch started a fire.

Julie Swanson, a captain with the PFD, said there are a few things to keep in mind to protect your home this winter.

First, if you are using a space heater, check that it is not overloading the electrical system. Check outlets with your hand. If they feel warm to the touch, call your landlord or an electrician. Some space heaters use more electricity than the outlet can handle, which can cause the outlet to overheat and catch fire, she said.

Make sure the cords to any space heaters are not broken or cut.

With fireplaces, have your chimney cleaned and have a spark arrester installed — a spark arrester is the screen that sits

on top of the chimney. Make sure you have a carbon monoxide alarm on each level of a home, especially if you have gas appliances or a chimney.

Finally, make sure smoke detectors are working. Detectors are only good for eight to 10 years and then should be replaced.

Locate the manufactured date on the back of the unit. If there is not date, then there is a good chance it is more than 10 years old, Swanson said.

“If you change the battery and the detector continues to chirp, it is a good bet that it has reached the eight- to 10-year point and is malfunctioning.”

For more smoke alarm safety tips, see the PFD’s Fire Safety Checklist insert in the Roundup.

If you cannot afford a smoke detector, contact the PFD for a free unit at 928-4725120.

Gila County honors residents, past and present by

Teresa McQuerrey

roundup staff reporter

The Gila County Board of Supervisors did a little horn tooting this week on behalf of three current and former Gila County residents. The board honored the families of two 2016 Rio Summer Olympic medal winners as well as part of the family of the 2016 Miss Native American USA. The honors centered on Ashley Nailihn Susan, 2016 Miss Native American USA, Olympic archer Brady Ellison and diver Sam Dorman.

Susan, who is a member of the White Mountain Apache and Walker River Paiute Tribes, was crowned Aug. 27, 2016 in Tempe at the Fifth Anniversary Miss Native American USA Scholarship Pageant.

A district of the White Mountain Apache Reservation that is within the boundaries of Gila County.

Ellison won an individual bronze medal

and a silver as part of the U.S. Men’s Archery Team.

He makes his home in Globe with his wife, Toja, a champion archer from Slovina.

His parents and three grandparents also live in Gila County.

Dorman and diving partner Michael Hixon won a silver medal in the 3-meter springboard synchronized event. His grandparents are former Gila County Supervisor Adolph “Tito” and Patricia Trujillo, who now reside in the Valley.

At the same Nov. 1 meeting the supervisors also recognized some 105 years of service rendered by five members of the staff of the Gila County Treasurer’s Office: Pamela Alvino, Denise Cox, Terry Powell, Tiffiney Tarango and Martha Gonzales.

Also honored was Community Development Office staffer Jim Berry, who has worked for the county for 10 years.

In other business, the supervisors

accepted an $18,980 award to provide intensive support function for parents in dependency actions. The money will be spread over fiscal years 2016-17 and 2017-18. The board also approved the Superior Court’s application for $4,867 in supplemental funding through the Division of Child Support Services’ Access and Visitation Program.

The supervisors also will let the Public Works Department trade in five pieces of equipment for $237,000 and the purchase of a 930M wheel loader with coupler and accessories, for which the county will also get a credit of $54,416. The savings will free up Public Works’ funds for additional road projects.

The supervisors also approved a contract with McSpadden Ford of Globe to purchase up to eight 4-by-4 SSV utility vehicles.

The county has budgeted $249,825 for the purchase and McSpadden offered the low bid price of $31,228.15 each.

In a bitter, divisive election season, one brave woman brought a vital message to Payson.

“Peace be upon you,” said Moina Shaiq to Payson residents packed into a local Christian church at an event seeking understanding and tolerance sponsored by the Payson chapter of Amnesty International.

She was afraid to come to Payson.

She’d heard worrisome things about Arizona.

She had never traveled so far from home with her brave message of tolerance.

But after the terrorist attacks of 9/11 spurred a national backlash against Muslims, she resolved to venture forth and speak out about her faith — and the message of peace and tolerance at its core.

She did not know what reception she would face in a small, rural Arizona community. When her grown son went camping with his family, someone called police to report he had a bomb. When she wore her veil and talked about her faith, she often received hostile questions and confronted angry stereotypes.

So what reception would she encounter in the land of the border fence, a governor who invokes headless bodies on the border and deep support for Donald Trump’s drastic immigration policies?

Turns out, she faced a wall of empathy, courtesy and curiosity.

Moina Shaiq said Payson provided the largest crowd she had drawn in her effort to challenge stereotypes with the weapons of love and understanding. The people who gathered together expressed their respect, interest and compassion when they heard her tale.

Now, this surprised Shaiq.

It even surprised the organizers, who brought in extra security.

But it doesn’t surprise us.

We live in the beloved community.

We have seen its heart a thousand times.

We have encountered compassion, love of country and engaged citizenship during food drives, domestic violence marches and Tea Party meetings. We have treasured friendships with Republicans and Democrats and bull riders and construction workers and stone masons and college professors.

We have ridden with the volunteers delivering Meals on Wheels to shut-ins and watched passionate fly fishermen patiently tie flies for disabled veterans. We have tilled the community garden, seen the churches fill the shelves of the food banks and joined the line of ATVs in the back country raising money for cancer patients.

Of course, we have also watched the presidential race uncoil like something poisonous and wounded. We have listened to the invective, the wild charges, the character assassination. We have quailed at the image presented of a broken and divided, seemingly incapable of the love and compromise and selfless sacrifice on which we have always relied.

But then we come home.

Then we turn to our neighbors.

Then we look out on the people gathered to receive the blessing of Moina Shaiq.

We are the beloved community.

Let the world rage and blunder and bluster.

And then we will turn off the television, put aside the cellphones, close the Internet windows — and go to the high school band concert, prepare our community garden plot for the winter, drop off our check for Credit for Kids.

As-salamu ‘alaikum, Moina.

Peace be upon you.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God. And God bless us, every one.

I believe that before schools allow anyone to present to their students they should seriously vet the presenter and preview the presentation they are interested in, prior to having them speak to their students. It is very important that the message intended or requested is conveyed.

The organization my husband and I co-founded, Kaity’s Way, always encourages school administration, teachers and youth organizations to preview our presentation by inviting them to attend one of our regularly scheduled workshops or check out our presentation on YouTube https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5BXMDGjy4k&t=8s or learn more about us on our YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/ channel/UCkuT9Sm82wv5C9kNY22LD0Q or by checking out our website www.kaitysway.org.

We also offer the option of going to them to present our program. Either way we are

offering them the opportunity to make sure they know the education we provide is what they are looking for, for their students.

It does not appear that the presentations referred to on Mr. Henning’s website are what were delivered at Payson High School.

Not to mention, you indicate in your article that his presentation is titled “Don’t take love lying down” there is no description on his website of such a talk.

Based on the article, Brad Hennings’ talk goes against everything Kaity’s Way and others teach about healthy relationships.

Beginning with the fact that the boys could attend voluntarily, yet for the girls it was mandatory.

This inequality is unfair and sends us back time to a time when women were considered a possession or property. In other words, the girls were controlled/herded yet the boys were given free rein. Do the boys get to decide which areas they want to learn in their classes, while the girls have to follow a specific curriculum?

Getting to the even larger issue, blaming or putting the responsibility of a boy’s reaction, in any situation, on the girls is again unfair and absolutely incorrect!

Kaity’s Way educates that each and every one of us is responsible for our own behavior. We do not have the ability to control someone else, much less their response in any given situation. Can we predict how someone is going to react from minute to minute or know for sure what is going to turn someone on sexually? Not always.

Based on your account of the presentation, it seemed to exude of power and control on behalf of the boys.

Please note power and control are the two main elements of abuse in relationships. Inequality, as well as blaming others for your own actions are a direct result of someone exercising power and control in a relationship.

Now what?

How does this get fixed?

How do we help the girls at Payson High School realize they are equal and should be treated with respect?

How do we help the young men understand that they are absolutely responsible for their behavior and how they choose to react in any situation?

First, admit the presentation by Mr. Henning was a mistake and a very valuable lesson has been learned. Then, consider having an agency like Kaity’s Way help undo the damage. We would request twice the amount of time allotted to Mr. Henning, to make sure we are able to adequately address the issue from the initial presentation and teach what should have been shared in the first place.

All we want to do is to help these students understand the importance of healthy relationships and how to avoid an unhealthy relationship.

Meat industry is scary Editor: I (had) no fear of all the goblins, the witches, or even the evil clowns lurking on Halloween. What really scares me are the latest reports about the meat industry.

Like news of pig farms dumping millions of gallons of pig feces into North Carolina’s water supplies during Hurricane Matthew.

Or of saturating their neighborhoods with wind-borne fecal waste spray. Or of animal farming accounting for more greenhouse gases than transportation.

Like recurring media exposes of horrific atrocities against animals on factory farms.

Or of subjecting slaughterhouse workers to crippling workplace injuries at slave wages.

Or of exploiting farmers by controlling prices.

Like repeated reports of studies linking consumption of animal products with elevated risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, cancer, and other killer diseases. Or reports of the meat industry bullying health authorities to remove warnings from dietary guidelines.

Now, that’s really scary.

I fought back by dropping animal products from my menu, and my local supermarket has rewarded me with a colorful display of fresh fruits and veggies, as well as a rich selection of plant-based meats, milks, cheeses, and ice creams. I am no longer scared, though I still fear for my friends and neighbors.

Effects of Agent Orange Editor: Re: Tuesday, Sept. 20 guest commentary

by Kevin Hamilton – “Well-kept secrets.”

He is correct. There are many, many secrets kept by the VA, one of them affects me.

While serving aboard the USS Tortuga LSD-26, an amphibious vessel from approximately July ’68 until April ’69, we made many trips up various rivers in the South Vietnam.

These excursions were to establish data on how far we could go before grounding out. This info was needed in case an upstream landing was necessary. We even went about 15 miles up the Perfume River.

Anyone stationed in DA Nang knows about the river. It is still listed on tour maps as the Perfume River.

We ran aground and had to stay overnight waiting for high tide. Not much sleep that night. After getting back to open seas, there were some 60 or so bullet holes in her.

No one hurt.

In 1980 or so, the U.S. Navy decided that the ship was too old and not really worth updating, decommissioned her, stripped her down and towed her to the area of San Clemente Island and sunk her for a fish habitat and divers’ destination.

All is fine right?

No! It wasn’t until about 2006 that the U.S. government classified it as an Agent Orange eligible ship.

Did anyone tell us who were on board of this finding?

You guessed it.

No! While in Da Nang, I had to make many trips to base communications to pick up messages for the ship. Also, there were a few trips I made on Swift Boars, escorting

Do you support expanding the empowerment scholarship account program to all Arizona students?

No. This would very clearly reduce funding for public schools, particularly in rural school districts and would likely cause hikes in property taxes to address the gap in funding. A deep concern that I have with the public funding of private schools is a lack of accountability over what happens with those public dollars. Charter schools spent $128 million more on administration than public schools would have on the same number of students. Much of this cost might well be lining the pockets of charter school owners who establish for-profit management companies for nonprofit schools. An auditing process to assess for-profit charter schools must be established before any more public dollars are allocated to expanding the voucher program.

Gov. Doug Ducey has promised to cut taxes every year. Would you support additional tax cuts? If so, which taxes and why?

I support tax cuts for small business start-ups as a way to continue to grow our economy. I would support funding the Angel Investment tax credit to ensure that the next wave of entrepreneurs and small-business owners have Arizona’s support.

Do you support Gov. Doug Ducey’s goal of reducing the state income-tax to as close to zero as possible? If so, how would you achieve that goal? Would you support an increase to other taxes to offset income tax cuts?

No. Arizona already boasts one of the lowest income taxes in the Southwest which keeps us very competitive, especially when compared to California. Drastic reductions in the state income tax would benefit the wealthy in Maricopa County, but would inevitably shift the additional tax burden to our rural communities when sales tax increases are established to fill the gap in our state budget.

Mr. Hamilton is spot on when he says the paperwork can be a little overwhelming — and that is for something not many of us know about. I didn’t. Applying for a known benefit is bad enough. I won’t know anything for at least one year from the time they accept my claim.

Talking REAL ESTATE

Forget Mortgage Apps: Why You’ll Want to Use a Human Mortgage Broker A mortgage broker can be a helpful tool in finding the right opportunity for you, but it can be tempting to deal with mortgage apps that may be able to consolidate all the information you need in one place. While many modern apps can be quite convenient, there are a few reasons you may want to use a knowledgeable mortgage professional to ensure the credibility of your most important purchase.

Up-To-Date On Credible Lenders - A mortgage app can certainly provide many mortgage insights, but it’s not necessarily an able replacement for a broker who has dealt with many different lenders and knows the ins and outs.

While an app can point you in the right direction, a broker will be able to keep you informed of all the little details.

Access To Better Rates - There are no guarantees that working with a broker will get you a better deal, but because brokers work in conjunction with a variety of different lenders, they can often get lower rates or special deals which you may not be able to find on your own.

Saving On Fees - In addition to assisting you with finding the best rates, a broker may also be able to minimize fees like the application and/or appraisal fees so that you can reduce some of the costs off your mortgage. Since brokers have an established relationship with lenders, this is something you can use to your advantage.

All The Available Options - It can be overwhelming to go through all of the available lenders and even a detailed app may not be able to provide this information. However, instead of the most popular current options, a mortgage broker will have lending information available from all kinds of institutions so you can choose what will work best.

Making The Process Run Smooth - An app may seem like a time-saver with all the information at your fingertips, but having a broker to look through things for you can provide a lot of comfort and clarity. While you do have the option of diving in on your own, having an expert to help you over the hurdles can go a long way. There are so many apps out there that can make life a lot easier, but mortgage apps may not be the place to start when it comes to your mortgage process. If you’re currently considering your options, contact us, your trusted real estate professional for more information.

Community Gardeners feast on bounty by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

After a year of hard work, Payson Community Gardeners gather each year to celebrate their harvest and good works.

At the dinner, the gardeners had much to celebrate.

“We donated 9,000 pounds to the food banks this year,” said Garden secretary Linda Croy.

In order to participate in the Community Garden, gardeners must donate 20 percent of their crop to local food banks.

Food bank operators, such as Pastor Chuck Proudfoot from the Community Presbyterian Church, say the fresh food adds much to the offerings.

The Church of the Nazarene always opens its large space for the harvest dinner. Good thing, because the gardeners bring so much to eat, they need the extra large kitchen space.

The Nazarene church is one of the interfaith partners in the Payson Community Garden.

Other churches include the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, St. Vincent de Paul and the Community Presbyterian Church.

Yet it’s not necessary to

belong to a church because the garden welcomes anyone interested in gardening. Each plot is 6 feet wide and 25 feet long — plenty of room to plant a plethora of plants.

The whole experience will improve a gardener’s talents.

Just take a walk around, see what you like and ask questions — there’s always some master gardener working away at their plot.

The garden also hosts classes every year to help gardeners prepare plots, pick plants, perturb pests, and when to best pluck produce.

Non-Community Garden gardeners are welcome during open garden hours to attend classes or just wander around to enjoy the peace of the butterfly garden or pickup some tips or ideas.

Linda said the garden has

166 plots and eight special needs boxes. She handles the plot leasing and her season is just starting.

“It’s my busy time of the year,” she said.

Linda said right now there are only 20 plots available.

Gardeners can sign up and pay for plots on the Payson Community Garden website: http://www.paysoncommunitygardenaz.com.

An 81-year-old Valley woman was airlifted from Fossil Creek Sunday after she slipped on some rocks while crossing the creek and injured her hip.

Woman, 81, airlifted from Fossil Creek by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

A 81-year-old woman was airlifted from the Fossil Creek trail Sunday after she slipped and fell in the creek.

The Valley woman was hiking with four other friends, all women over the age of 60, when she lost her balance on some rocks while crossing the creek and landed on her hip.

The women had successfully hiked down the steep trail from the Strawberry area earlier in the day. When they went to hike out around 3:30 p.m., the woman lost her footing while boulder hopping and fell. She attempted to continue hiking out, but when she reached the fence line, some 3.5 miles from the trailhead, she could not continue due to the pain in her hip.

In the spring, the Gila County Sheriff’s Office and Gila County Mounted Posse built a helicopter landing zone three miles south of the trailhead to facilitate helicopter rescues.

Fossil Creek’s spring waters, swimming holes and waterfalls draw big crowds and frequent rescues, especially on the steep trail, said Gary Morris, PineStrawberry Fire chief.

The Department of Public Safety landed a helicopter in the area around the time firefighters and Tonto Rim Search and Rescue volunteers arrived by foot.

Paramedics airlifted the woman to the trailhead. An ambulance took her to Banner Payson Medical Center. Two of her friends were so exhausted that the helicopter then picked them up and flew them to the trailhead.

SEARS HOMETOWN STORE

The locally owned Sears Hometown Store has moved across Highway 260 and is now located in the Payson Village Shopping Center next to Big 5 Sporting Goods.

Anna Banks, who owns this store and the one in Show Low, said she was looking for more space and better foot traffic and the new location offered that.

“This store has about 6,000 square feet of floor space, compared to the old one which had about 5,000,” said Banks, who’s owned the Payson store since August of 2015. “And we had 1,000 square feet of warehouse over there. We have almost 4,000 now.”

The old location, located between the Beverage House and Wells Fargo, closed on Oct. 5 and the new location opened its doors on Oct. 7.

Sears will celebrate its 20th anniversary in Payson next month.

For the past few months, a small hotel on an otherwise sleepy corner of State Route 87 in Strawberry has hummed with activity. Tradesmen and contractors have come and gone, leaving behind a masterpiece of red, white and gray. Today community residents and passersby can finally inspect the bold design and workmanship as the newly branded Strawberry Inn hosts an open house for the public.

The two-story, eight-room boutique hotel, formerly known as the Windmill Corner Inn, has occupied a spot alongside the highway for decades. Framed by a clock tower and guarded by a windmill, the property has radiated charm.

In the last few years, though, various investors bought and sold the property and the inn fell into disrepair.

Carson and Amber Eilers, a young couple from the Phoenix area with longstanding ties to the Rim Country, stumbled across an online listing for the inn and immediately fell in love.

“We have been in real estate development and hospitality in the Valley for several years, but we have always been interested in creating our own boutique hotel,” Amber said. “When we found the opportunity through a private sale, it felt like it was meant to be!”

While buying the inn, the Eilers met Cheryl Holland, a longtime former owner of the Windmill Corner Inn. “When we were in escrow, we reached out to her to meet for coffee,” Amber said.

The meeting ended with the Eilers asking Holland to manage the renovated property, an idea that Holland loved.

“We adore Cheryl and we are very blessed to have her on our side,” Eilers said. “She embodies a spirit of hospitality and she loves the community of Strawberry.”

Having flipped hundreds of houses in the Phoenix metro area, the Eilers know real estate and remodeling. But they both agreed this project felt different.

Pine has seen a surge of new and revamped businesses in the

past few years. Breweries, restaurants, and lodging have blossomed, but Strawberry has seen little of this growth. The Eilers hope to bring a bit of this energy to the community. “We would love to bring back the windmill as a coffee spot,” Eilers said. “It used to sell cappuccinos and baked goods many years ago. But that’s a ways off.”

Amber takes pride in her family’s ties to Pine and Strawberry. Her aunt ran an antique store in Pine called Moose Mountain Antiques and Collectibles. And her late grandmother, Pat Lawson, made a name around town with her famous pickles.

“I actually carry on that family tradition with our secret family recipe and still make and sell the small batch sweet dills in shops around town,” Amber said.

The small-town feel has always drawn the Eilers to the Rim Country.

The couple, who participated in nearly every aspect of the remodel work with their two small girls in tow, recalled that curious people stopped by several times a day just to peek at the progress or offer their help. “Almost every day that we are there we have people ask if they can rent a room, too,” Amber said.

Though the inn remained fully furnished after the Eilers took over, they wanted to start their renewal from scratch. But instead of selling or scrapping the furnishings, the Eilers hosted a “free” garage sale for the community.

“In one, crazy weekend,” Amber said, they gave away everything they could.

Inspired by the popular television remodel show “Fixer Upper,” the Eilers started the remodel by lining each room with shiplap. After contractors installed new floors, fixtures, and paint, the couple filled each room with a carefully selected collection of farmhouse furniture and rustic décor A couple weeks ago, the Strawberry Inn began taking reservations for stays beginning Nov. 11.

Muslim woman seeks understanding in Payson From page 1 I’m saying the translation for you all — to make it easier,” she said to laughter.

From there the conversation opened awareness and empathy for Shaiq, her family and those from the 50 countries where Islam is the primary religion.

Most importantly, Shaiq said the news media has helped create a false picture of Islam. Every time a Muslim carries out a crime or a terror attack — the stories mention the religion. But when the mass shooter or bomber is not Muslim, religion isn’t mentioned.

“Anytime anything happens in the world, we don’t hear the faith of anybody unless it’s a Muslim,” said Shaiq.

“I mean we have had so many shot in our own country — Sandy Hook, preschool children (and) Columbine — but we never hear the faith of that person.”

This creates misunderstanding, especially since research suggests 80 percent of U.S. citizens have never met a Muslim, said Shaiq.

However, Shaiq said Christianity, Judaism and Islam all share a common founder — Abraham. In truth, every church in Payson counts as a spiritual relative to Muslims. “… I feel you are all my sisters and brothers. We are all children of God,” said Shaiq. “Coming from the Abrahamic faith, all Jews, Christians and Muslims are the decedents of the prophet Abraham.”

She said the Islamic faith believes

in the prophets from Adam all the way down to Mohammed. In fact, that belief is one of the five pillars of the Muslim faith, which Shaiq described to the audience.

There is only one God and that Prophet Mohammed is the last messenger of God. They believe in all of the prophets starting with Adam and ending with Mohammed, “Which is Jacob, Moses, Jesus, Abraham, Ishmael, the whole list of all the prophets that everybody else believes in,” said Shaiq.

Muslims believe in praying five times a day. “And so the five times is, one is very early in the morning before dawn and then afternoon, mid-afternoon, sunset and before going to bed,” said Shaiq.

Muslims have a fasting period each year in an act of worship they call Ramadan. “It’s one month we fast dawn to dusk. And during that time we do not eat or drink, not even a sip of water,” said Shaiq, “but we can drink before and after we break the fast.”

The fourth pillar is to give to charity. Shaiq said the minimum amount to tithe is 2.5 percent.

The last pillar is to make a pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia once in their lifetime for those with the physical and financial ability. “Because Hadj is stressful ... you are out in the desert. You are in tents and it’s a hardship ...” said Shaiq.

So in effect, Christianity and Islam share a common history, but express their faiths differently.

Shaiq then opened her presentation to questions.

Provided photo

Payson residents crowded into a talk by a Muslim woman with a message of peace and empathy. The presentation in a local church was sponsored by Payson Amnesty International.

People at first asked about the faith, but moved quickly into questions about the effect of the fear of Islam due to violence and terrorism around the world.

Shaiq said she had not directly experienced discrimination after 9/11, but her son recently had a chilling experience in Los Angeles. Her son is married and has a toddler and an infant and they all went camping with another couple with young children.

After the trip, Shaiq’s son received a call from the FBI saying someone had reported her son and friends had an IED — an explosive device.

This really hit Shaiq.

“And that really hit home,” she said. “I cried. I cried so much that my child is being reported to the FBI for something like this. I mean what more American can you do by just going camping with your family? With four little babies? But that is the reality.”

She said Americans often don’t realize the anger the actions of the U.S. government sometimes inspires. “How many heard the U.S. had airstrikes against Yemen? Why don’t we hear about it? We only hear when western countries are attacked. Today, Muslims are the biggest victims of Isis.

Every day Muslims are dying. This is dehumanizing of any race. Is it OK to kill Muslims? No, as human beings of consciousness.”

In the end, she talked about the effects of violence — and fear.

“It’s a very complex issue,” she said. “There is a lot behind it we don’t understand. I try to keep up, but I still don’t know a lot of things.”

But then her presentation offered another deep lesson.

She stood in front of the crowd she had feared.

And found peace — through simple understanding.

California man arrested for murder of his father From page 1 had been camping in the area. Then late in the afternoon on Oct. 26, campers saw Dale walking from a campsite toward the creek, according to a press release.

Later, campers reported seeing Dale’s son, Francis, sitting in a silver

Jeep Liberty parked near a tent at the campsite.

Campers later said they’d heard gunshots at around 7:30 p.m. Oct. 26, but did not investigate or call law enforcement.

The next morning, witnesses said both the tent and the Jeep had disappeared.

Later, a camper spotted an object behind some brush. Upon closer inspection, the camper found Dale’s body wrapped in a tent.

Deputies couldn’t identify the body, which had no identification.

Officers had the body transferred to the medical examiner’s office and the Department of Public Safety Oct.

28 identified the man using his fingerprints. Dale had been shot several times.

Detectives determined that Dale’s son, Francis, matched the description of the man seen with Dale.

On Saturday, Union City police officers arrested Francis during a traffic stop in California.

Officers booked him into the Alameda County jail on a charge of murder where he awaits extradition to Arizona.

The Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office has not released a motive for the shooting.

This is the third murder in recent weeks solved by YCSO personnel.

PAL issues invitation to ‘Join the Journey’ by

Teresa McQuerrey

roundup staff reporter

Join the Journey — that is the call issued by members of the Payson Art League in their annual Fine Arts Festival Show & Sale.

The three-day event is from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Friday, Nov. 11 through Sunday, Nov. 13 at Julia Randall Elementary School, 902 W. Main St., Payson.

This year’s free show will emphasize introducing children to art.

Exhibits will include a children’s hands-on art table; a children’s raffle; plus on Saturday two lively performances by lovable Mother Goose and her puppets.

The festival will also feature music each day including WindStrum, with Bette Acker, Native American flutes, and David Diamond, guitar, perform at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., Friday, Nov. 11. Jamie Ratzkin shares his saxophone talents Saturday, Nov. 12 and harpist Peggy Hudgens plans two performances on Sunday, Nov. 13 between noon and 4 p.m.

The work of 28 artists is featured in this year’s show, with a mix of familiar and new artists.

The 2016 show also will have several raffles of artwork and other items including an amethyst ring donated by Overman Designs.

The PAL began in 1976 when the nonprofit, charity group of local artists united together for the purpose of improving, fostering and promoting art and art education in the Payson area. The first officers were elected in 1979. PAL meets the second Tuesday of the month at the Payson Public Library, 328 N. McLane Road.

PAL sponsors two shows each year: the ’Neath the Rim Artists Studio Tour in May and the Fall

The below history represents Donald Trump successful past performance as a true leader and his proposed policies and plans that will make America great again.

• Donald Trump may be politically incorrect and boisterous in some of his street language, but he is not politically or criminally corrupt as is Hillary Clinton.

• Donald Trump built a huge corporation, with thousands of employees across the world, which has thoroughly prepared him to manage and lead the federal government.

• Trump has better health history and stamina than Hillary to withstand the rigors of the Presidency.

• Trump does not accept large corporate donations, is mostly funding his campaign with personal funds, which means as President he will not “owe a favor” (collusion) to corporation’s or big donors as President.

• Trump is a fiscal conservative and plans to submit legislation for a balanced the federal budget.

• Trump plans to introduce legislation to repeal the Johnson IRS rule which prohibits churches and pastors from engaging in political speech, which reflects his commitment of rigidly supporting and protecting our First Amendment right to freedom of religion.

• Trump plans, on his first day as President, to suspend illegal Executive Orders issued by President Obama which will restore constitutional government.

• Obama Care is collapsing, premium costs are soaring, and it can’t be fixed as Hillary claims, and Trump’s plan to repeal and replace Obama Care with more competition and health savings accounts, etc., will reduce costs and improve health care.

• Trump has demonstrated he plans to bring law and order back to the streets of America, and will vigorously support law enforcement in the country, and has declared he will be a “law abiding President” which will create a safer America.

County officials urge state to stop cost shifts Gila County Supervisors Tommie Martin, Michael Pastor, and John Marcanti joined county officials from across the state at the 12th Annual Legislative Summit of the County Super­ visors Association (CSA), last week at the High Country Con­ ference Center at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff.

Supervisors from Arizona’s 15 counties set the association’s agenda for lobbying the Arizona Legislature in 2017.

CSA President and Coconino County Supervisor Mandy Metzger said the legislative agenda “will save taxpayer dollars and increase investment in our local roads and highways.

CSA stands ready to roll up our sleeves and get to work at the Capitol.”

The counties all supported a renewed plea to the state to

As many know FBI Director Comey recently has sent a letter to Congress stating that the Bureau has re-opened the investigation of Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s improper handling of classified information on her personal email system. While the Gila County Republican Party welcomes this investigation, this scandal has overtaken the news cycle and little discussion is occurring about what a Trump Presidency will do for America.

• Trump has declared that he is pro-life and opposes abortion.

What Donald Trump will do to save America.

stop diverting money that normally goes to the counties, a practice that started during the recession. Counties have been forced to raise property taxes and cut services to make up for the state cuts.

Specific priorities include: • Eliminate an $11 million charge to counties to cover the cost of the state-operated lockups for teenagers who have committed crimes.

• Fully restore gas tax money for roads. State diversions have cost the counties $140 million since 2009 — with another $12 million hit in the upcoming state budget.

“Counties are very grateful to the governor and the Legislature for their support this past legislative session; however, our counties cannot afford to continue to have

our resources diverted to pay for other state agencies and programs,” said Gila County Supervisor and CSA Presidentelect Tommie Martin.

Gila County will lose $278,000 in revenue if the state rejects the CSA’s plea.

The counties also hope the state will also restore money they used to get from the state lottery.

CSA adopted nine county-submitted statutory proposals, including proposals to extend the state’s Waste Tire Fund Program, decrease the default speed limit on unpaved roads and ensure adequate legal counsel for juvenile dependency cases.

CSA is a non-partisan forum for Arizona’s 61 county supervisors to address important issues facing local constituents.

• Trump plans to appoint true “constitutional” judges to the Supreme Court which will secure our Republic because these Justices will more accurately interrupt cases based on the Constitution as written and not on a whim.

• Trump plans to remove restrictions on the country’s oil and gas energy sources, along with building the Keystone Pipeline, will create thousands of new high paying jobs and make the country more prosperous secure.

• Trump plans to reduce the regulatory burden on businesses, from such governmental agencies as the Environmental Protection Administration, which will allow commerce to boom, thus creating large numbers of new jobs for Americans and this will greatly improve the economy.

• Trump’s tax plan, which includes elements of both President Kennedy’s and Reagan’s tax plans (which resulted in economic booms in their day) will greatly enhance our economy is it did in the 1960’s and 1980’s.

• Trump plans to build a wall on the Mexican border, along with deporting criminal immigrants from the United States, which will make America safer from criminal and terrorist attacks.

• Trump plans on immigration reform include the suspension of immigrants entering the country from war-torn Middle East until they can be properly screened, will bring greater safety to Americans.

• Trump’s plan to crush the terrorist group ISIS will make the America and the world safer.

• Trump’s plan to expand and improve the United States military at a time of expanding terrorism around the world will make Americans safer.

• Trump has strongly demonstrated his rigid support of, and his intention to fully protect, the Second Amendment.

• Trump plans to introduce legislation reducing the ability of retired Congressman and Senators from operating as lobbyist after leaving office which would help reduce government collusion and corruption.

• Trump’s proposal to create legislation to limit the terms of Senator’s and Congressman will help prevent collusion and corruption in Congress.

• Trump’s plan to provide paid maternity leave will be a great benefit to working mothers and families.

• Trump plans to end “Common Core” from our schools, as well as give local boards more authority to run their local school systems, thus allowing them to move away from the federal oversight and mandates on schools, along with his support of school choice and competition, which will improve education.

• Trump plans to deal more directly with China’s unfair trade and currency policies which will create more and better jobs for Americans.

• Trump plans to withdraw, or renegotiate the Iran deal, would greatly reduce the possibilities of Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon, thus making Americans and the Middle East safer.

• Trump plans to withdraw or renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement, along with the new Trans-Pacific Partnership, and will place American jobs first in the new agreements, which will result in the restoration of thousands of lost jobs for Americans.

• Trump’s plan to retain and improve Medicare and Medicaid which will benefit our seniors.

Police arrest 7 Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

As trick-or-treaters went door-to-door Halloween night for treats, officers were knocking down the door of a reported drug house.

On Monday, the Arizona Department of Public Safety Gila/Navajo County Narcotics Unit and the Payson Police Department searched a home at 701 E. Wade Lane.

Detectives had been watching the home for some time and after extensive surveillance, including of several drug sales, the PPD’s special response unit was called in to secure the property due to safety concerns.

Detectives found approximately 28 grams of methamphetamine, 3.5 grams of heroin, numerous items of paraphernalia including drug scales, five weapons, $552 in cash, comput-

ers and cellphones.

Seven people were arrested on various drug charges including Jeffery Choate, 52, Andres Caicedo, 35, Leann Knight, 42, Lucas Vanburen, 36, Craig Farmer, 24, Matthew Selig, 40, and Madison Ahlman, 21. The Gila County Sheriff’s Office, AZDPS District 11 Highway Patrol and the Tonto-Apache Tribal Police assisted with the investigation.

“This was a phenomenal investigation that was made possible by multiple agencies working together,” said Lt. Col. Ken Hunter, who oversees the criminal investigations division at DPS. “The end result means that the town of Payson will have less illegal drugs on its streets which will contribute to a much safer environment in that community. Those responsible for selling the drugs will also be held accountable for their actions.”

Suspicious fire Roundup staff

Police are asking for the public’s help locating who started a fire at the Main Street Decorating Center last week.

About 10:30 p.m. Oct. 27 a fire was reported in the brush outside the business near West Main Street and South Westerly Road.

With the Main Street fire station across the street, firefighters had the fire out quickly.

There was no damage to the building.

Police Chief Don Engler said they fire was suspicious in nature and they are asking anyone with information to call 928-HOT-TIPS or Det. Michael Hansen at 474-5177 ext. 5043.

All charges dropped; Walker case dismissed Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

Two days after Christmas last year, Linda Gist called the Gila County Sheriff’s Office to report that her wife, Linda Walker, “assaulted her and was now holed up in their residence.”

Three Rim Country law enforcement agencies spent six hours coaxing Walker out of their home in Oxbow Estates.

Law enforcement reported they understood Walker had a weapon, so they used extreme caution.

“She wouldn’t answer the phone,” said Officer Michael Varga, “(but) we had to develop communication somehow. We don’t want a team to burst in there. We kept pleading with her to answer the phone.”

Officers ended up using a box that has both a microphone and a speaker. Ultimately Walker surrendered, which started a months-long process

that completed in April.

Walker’s wife, Linda Gist, hopes to now clear Walker’s name.

“My purpose in writing this letter is to set the record straight,” said Gist in a letter to the Roundup. “After monthly court appearances, ALL charges against Ms. Walker were dropped.”

Walker’s journey through the courts started on Dec. 28 when a complaint was filed.

On Jan. 13, Walker entered a not guilty plea. Throughout February and March, the court had numerous hearings to prepare for an April trial. Then on April 26, Judge Dorothy Little ordered a dismissal of the case without prejudice.

It pains Gist, however, that the final result of the case has not been reported.

“My hope in addressing this issue is to restore Linda Walker’s reputation, character and name,” she wrote in her letter.

With the elk feeding at her table, Butler made her way closer and closer. She grabbed some tree trimming clippers and began making small cuts at the rope. Because the clippers were dull and the rope was thick, Butler could only snip a tiny bit of the rope each time.

The elk would leave and go lay down in Butler’s yard to rest, but he never left.

Around lunchtime, Butler made the last cut and the log fell off.

She continued to try and cut the tire off, but two ropes held it in place.

She managed to fray the ropes with small cuts and then went out to dinner with her brother.

When she returned, the elk had gotten one of the ropes lose by rubbing its antlers on the trees.

Now only one rope held the tire on. With her brother holding a flashlight, Butler went in to make the final cuts just before 8 p.m.

“I said, ‘buddy, I know I can do this, just be still,’” she Photo courtesy of Debera Butler said. “He didn’t back This young bull elk felt much better after up at all and snip, Debera Butler cut a rubber swing seat from his antlers — and better yet when snip, I got it.”

With the log and the rope fell off. tire off, Butler tried to get the remaining rope off the elk’s antlers, but could not.

Butler said the weight of the tire amazed her — but not as much as the elk’s willingness to let her get close enough to cut it off.

“When I took the log off, a neighbor was screaming at me, they thought I would be killed,” she said.

Butler said she did not want to spook the elk and get gored, Butler knew in her gut she could help.

“This was a miracle.”

The elk returned a few weeks later. To Butler’s delight, the rope had fallen off the antlers. The bull bugled a few times and left. She has not seen him in weeks.

Still, she said she still feels the connection — and the sense of wonder inspired by the huge animal’s trust.

All in a day’s work — for an Elk Whisperer.

CHONG “I wanna scream and shout and let it all out,” just like will.i.am. I guess you could say I’m a pretty talkative guy that won’t let you forget when I’m in the room. I crave all the attention that I can receive. My presence is not one to go unnoticed; you’ll find me rubbing against your pant legs and pawing at you for head scratches. The occasional rump rub is another favorite of mine. I would do well in a social home where people understand the importance of conversations. I’m a very affectionate guy that just loves telling all of my secrets.

Don’t let these squinted eyes fool you, I’m highly alert and always on the lookout for chatty company.

Chong

Jinx I’m a homebody that enjoys cuddle time and sneaking treats. I’ll speak up when I want nice long back rubs or even a belly scratch. Everyone says I have an adorable face that they can’t resist. I’m a calm girl till I get myself all riled up and want attention. No toy will be left behind if it comes within my reach. I just want a nice family that is going to give me the love and attention that I deserve. It would mean the world to me if I was able to curl up on your bed and keep you warm through the night. I have a curious side and sometimes I just need to investigate to get to the bottom of the mystery.

When he started getting many requests for reproductions of his artwork 10 years ago, Shari purchased the best equipment for that purpose, learned Photoshop and began producing Giclees quality prints.

She has now printed hundreds of reproductions of artwork done in oil, acrylic, watercolor and various other

painting media. Many of her Giclees Artworks are displayed at The Presido Museum in Tubac, Ariz., at the Rim Golf and Country Club in Payson, Myra’s Gallery in Pine and with many friends and clients throughout the U.S. She will be giving away a special Giclee painting her husband created called, “Rendezvous Banquet,” by doing a drawing during the PAL meeting for one lucky attendee to take home.

Rim. A Thanksgiving distribution is scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 20.

Food Bank distributions are also held on the first Tuesday of each month.

Currently the Pine Strawberry Food Bank is appealing for 150 turkeys and other food stuffs that will be distributed to needy families in our area.

Contributors began dropping off turkeys at the Ponderosa Market in Pine on Tuesday, Nov. 1.

“If someone has more than one turkey and they are unable to drop them off at the market they can call Marti Heinert at 480-296-4337 and she will arrange to have them picked up,” says food bank volunteer Pat Impiccini.

Those struggling to put food on the table should explore the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly food stamps.

The program’s goal is to help provide healthy food to low-income families with children and vulnerable adults.

For more information, go to: https:// www.benefitscheckup.org/ Not much impact Prescribed fire treatments that began Friday, Oct. 28 in the Payson Ranger District are scheduled to wrap up today, Nov. 4.

The burning operations have not produced much smoke around Pine and Strawberry, but the Forest Service urged motorists to use caution and slow down for the safety of firefighters and the public. Fire specialists said smoke could linger through Thursday, Nov. 10.

In 2001 the Payson Ranger District began a fuel reduction strategy to reduce catastrophic wildfire danger in the Rim Country and to improve

forest conditions, wildlife habitat and watersheds.

Guild hosts holiday gift shop Those searching for a homespun gift for a special someone might want to shop the Pine-Strawberry Arts and Crafts Guild Boutique to be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday, Nov. 25, Saturday, Nov. 26, Saturday, Dec. 3 and Saturday, Dec. 10.

“As always we will have many handcrafted items made by our talented members,” said Arts and Crafts Guild member Catherine Hurla. “We have handwoven baskets, unique jewelry, leather crafts, knitted and crocheted items, handmade aprons, clothing, pet attire and many seasonal crafts.”

The boutique is located directly behind the Pine thrift shop at the senior center.

Vote by Tuesday Time is running out for PineStrawberry voters to cast their ballots for the Nov. 8 general election.

Vote-by-mail ballots were sent out Oct. 12.

Those who do not participate in voting by mail can cast their ballot in person at the First Baptist Church in Pine.

On the ballot is an override motion to increase the local fire district’s levy limit from $3.25 to $3.50 per $100 assessed value of property.

A 25 cents per $100 was approved last year by the Legislature, but only if voters approved the increase, which is the reason for the override.

Also on the ballot is Proposition 206 which would raise the minimum wage and the controversial proposition Prop. 205 that legalizes marijuana.

Countless ads, claims and counter-

claims by proponents and opponents of 205 have muddied the issue.

Proposition backers say if passed, it would funnel millions of desperately needed dollars into Arizona’s classrooms.

Opponents say that’s not true, just check Colorado where marijuana is legal, but schools are not receiving the tax dollars promised.

Also on the local election scene, two seats on the Pine-Strawberry Elementary School board are up for grabs. The seats were vacated last spring by the resignations of former members Dave Prechtel and Bob Horne.

The vacated seats have drawn three candidates — Larry Hartman, Rosina French and Michael Ward.

The three incumbents that remained after the resignations, Helen Palmer, Jessica Barnett and Margaret Parker, are running unopposed for four-year terms.

While the Pine Strawberry Water Improvement District needs to replace four members — Trent McNeeley, Larry Bagshaw, Paul Randall and Richard James — whose terms expire at the end of the year, no election will be held.

Instead the PSWID board decided during a Sept. 15 meeting to ask the Gila County Board of Supervisors to appoint to the board the three persons who applied to run and seek an applicant for the fourth vacancy.

Boost Arizona’s wildlife The Arizona Game and Fish Department is offering one-year memberships into its “I Support Wildlife” program for just $25.

Those purchasing memberships will receive access to a premium version of the Recreational Access Arizona (RAA) mapping application, a one-year subscription to Arizona Wildlife Views magazine, up to date fish-stocking reports and an I Support Wildlife window decal.

To purchase, you need to create a free AG&F Customer Portal. Once created click “Join Now” and follow the prompts.

The AG&F’s job is to protect, restore and preserve wildlife, but no Arizona tax dollars go to support that mission. Instead the sales of hunting and fishing licenses are the primary source of funding but those sales are not keeping pace with the cost of wildlife management.

By joining I Support Wildlife, members will be helping Arizona’s diverse wildlife, from Gambel’s quail to bighorn sheep, grow and thrive.

We’re not talking the end of summer here. Tuesday marks the end of a torturous, insane presidential election cycle.

“Vote early, vote often” is an old quip going back many, many decades. We can only exercise our constitutional right and hope it gets counted. Then we can celebrate the fact that it’s finally over ... and that’s another week in the Creek.

One holiday down, a couple more to go in 2016 Whew! One more holiday down and a few more left for this year. The trick or “treaters” were very few and far between this year, the parties at Shelby School and the Trunk or Treat at the Tonto Village Chapel kept the “treaters” busy collecting candy and having fun at the parties. I hope that there are not many kids with tummy aches when they head back to school.

Tuesday, Nov. 8 is Election Day, one of the most important days of this year for our country’s future and for our own livelihood. I urge you to exercise your right to vote. It only takes one vote to make a difference. If you don’t vote, you don’t have the right to gripe.

The other important date is Friday, Nov. 11, Veterans Day. Thank a veteran for helping to keep our country free. They put their very lives on the

line for us. They deserve our respect and we should honor them, each and every one.

Don’t forget to fly your flag.

Helpful Hint from the cookbook I have used this hint on many occasions, and it works!

• To prevent pasta from boiling over, place a wooden spoon or fork across the top of the pot while the pasta is boiling.

Director Ron Howard bossed both “The Da Vinci Code” and “Angles and Demons,” the previous films in the series. Accomplished script writer David Koepp penned the screenplay from the novel by Dan Brown. Koepp also wrote “Panic Room,” “SpiderMan,” “War of the Worlds” and “Premium Rush,” which makes for a nice selection of films, big and small.

Tom Hanks has two Oscar wins for “Philadelphia” and “Forrest Gump,” as well as three other nominations for

“Castaway,” “Big” and “Saving Private Ryan.” His co-star for “Inferno” is 33-year-old British actress Felicity Jones. Jones will be in the next Star Wars movie. One of my favorite actors Ben Foster appears in the major supporting role. Twice this year Hanks has played across from Danish actress Sidse Babett Knudsen and got to briefly smooch her both in “Inferno” and “A Hologram for the King.”

“Inferno” runs for a solid two hours and carries a mild PG-13 rating. On a modest by the standards of the series budget of $75 million it stands to be a moneymaker. “The Da Vinci Code”

took in $758 million while “Angels and Demons” garnered a lesser but still plump $486 million.

I would watch this film just for the grand locations. Filming took place in Istanbul, Florence and Venice, so enjoy the scenery.

Dan Brown will release his next book in the series, “Origin” in the fall of 2017.

Fun fact: In one very brief scene of one of the Hanks character’s hallucinations the movie makers used 9,000 liters of fake blood. The scene takes about 10 seconds to view. That’s movie-making folks.

CROSSWORD ANSWER

SUDOKU ANSWER

SALOME’S STARS ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A work-related situation that started last month takes on increasing importance this week. The choice is still yours as to how it will evolve. Be careful not to make quick judgments.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) “Careful” is the watchword for the prudent Bovine this week. Don’t let your emotions overwhelm your logic. Try for balance as you maneuver through a touchy situation.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your energy levels rise to meet the challenges that will mark much of this month. New opportunities beckon. Look them over, but proceed cautiously before making any kind of decision.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your private life can be a problem this week, as a partner becomes more difficult. Resist a reaction you might regret. Instead of walking away, try to talk things out.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) You should be your usual sunny self these days, as you bask in the admiration you adore. Enjoy it as you move into a new arena to confront an exciting upcoming challenge.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Your perseverance reserves will be tapped frequently this week as you deal with the problems involved in making a new situation work for you. But it’ll all be worth it.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You’ll find fewer roadblocks turning up as you continue to move ahead with your plans. Expect some important news to come your way by mid-November.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Good news -- you finally get to the bottom of that pesky mystery you’ve been trying to solve for weeks by using some gentle persuasion to get someone to break his or her silence.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) The best time to take on that important task is now. Move forward one step at a time so you can assess your progress and, if need be, change direction.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) The new opportunities you hoped to find this month are beginning to open up. Study them carefully to be sure you make the choice that’s best for you.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Turn a disappointment into a learning experience. Check out possible weaknesses in your approach and strengthen them. A loyal colleague offers good advice.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your new situation offers opportunities to help you get the skills you’ll need in order to stop swimming in circles and finally move straight toward your goals. Go for it.

Friendship key to spikers’ success Compete in state tourney this weekend by

Keith Morris

roundup sports editor

Keith Morris/Roundup

Cameron Ross runs the ball against Holbrook as J.T. Dolinich provides a block. The two running backs have spearheaded a potent rushing attack that is a key reason the Longhorns are a feared team in the 3A state tournament.

Horns get 2nd shot at Snowflake Anger consumed Payson players when they walked off the Snowflake High football field on Oct. 7.

The Longhorns felt they could have won the game.

Instead, they watched the unbeaten Lobos hold on to pull out a 26-21 thriller.

They get another crack at mighty Snowflake on Saturday night.

Second chances in high school football are rare.

But a Payson team that slipped into the postseason as the No. 15 seed is determined to show it’s much better than that.

And the evidence that these more than Longhorns are beta game ter is there.

A week before visiting Snowflake they scored a touchdown with 17.5 seconds remaining to pull within 35-34 and elected to go for two points and Keith Morris the win instead of sports editor the tie and overtime against a Show Low team that holds the No. 1 seed for the playoffs.

They came up short.

Just like the next week in Snowflake when they scored a touchdown and recovered an onside kick at midfield in the final minute with a chance to win the game.

Just like the game before when they battled an Eagar Round Valley team that’s the No. 1 seed in the 2A tournament before falling 20-13.

Truth is, Payson isn’t a 5-5 team lucky to be alive.

Nobody wants to face these Longhorns because they’ve proven they can play with the best.

Now they have to take the final step.

And beat these powerhouses.

They’ve said for weeks they want to be the first 5-5 team to win a state championship.

They believe they can.

They believe they will.

Second chances don’t come along often.

Neither do 5-5 teams that win state titles.

We find out just how rare these Longhorns are on Saturday night.

The transformation took time.

But somewhere along the way, Payson’s young volleyball team changed.

A collection of youngsters just hoping to somehow qualify for the state tournament morphed into a championship squad.

A squad that enters this weekend’s Class 3A State Championship brimming with confidence.

The Longhorns can’t help but gain confidence after storming through the challenging 3A East season with a 9-1 record and ripping the regional title away from the clutches of mighty Snowflake.

Payson (12-5) enters the 16-team state tournament as the No. 8 seed.

The Horns face No. 9 Florence at 1 o’clock this afternoon at Phoenix Camelback High.

“We overshot our goals,” said second-year head coach Desirae Burris.

“I could not be more proud of these young ladies and their drive and passion for the game and each other.”

It’s that passion and their heart that lifted them to a sweep of their two regional showdowns with Snowflake.

Despite the sweep at the hands of the Longhorns, the Lobos earned the No. 4 seed for the state tournament because few other teams managed to do what Payson did to the team the Arizona Republic ranked No. 1 — twice.

“Beating Snowflake twice was a huge factor in getting the girls to realize how powerful they can be,” Burris

Junior Kyra Ball qualified for Saturday’s Class 3A Cross-Country State Championships for the third time, finishing 18th in the sectional race in Holbrook in 21 minutes, 12 seconds.

It’s been a lonely season for Kyra Ball.

After watching seniors Abby Greenleaf and Anna Schouten graduate this spring, the Payson High junior inherited a leadership role on the Longhorn girls cross-country team.

With a team dominated by underclassmen, Ball often raced alone in the varsity races, while her young teammates gained valuable experience in open races held for the less experienced runners.

“I didn’t know what we were going to get out of Kyra coming into this season,” said Payson head coach Jonathan Ball, her father.

“Last season she had two teammates that ran with her and helped her in every workout and in every race.

“This season, with us being so young, she was kind of all alone in some workouts and in races in regards to the team aspect.”

It took some adjustment, but she apparently figured out how to run by herself.

Last week, she qualified for the Division 3 state meet by placing 18th in the D3 Section 4 meet at Holbrook’s Hidden Cove Golf Course.

It’s the third time in her three seasons with the team she’s qualified for the state meet.

The state meet is set to begin at

said. “I think carrying the knowledge of beating someone who is (favored) to beat us going into state is so empowering.”

Burris pointed to one key at the center of the Longhorns’ success.

“They are best friends on and off the court,” the coach said. “The power in caring for one another will go far past any win-loss accomplishments that we have earned this season and have a chance to earn in the postseason.”

Throughout the season, the coach has been impressed with how her girls conduct themselves.

“These ladies have gone above and beyond for me and for one another,” Burris said.

“Those kinds of teams are few and far between.

“A strength that I see in our girls that I do not see in most teams is their drive for one another. Not once have I seen a player get frustrated with a teammate. They are full of excitement and encouragement for one another. They have fun.”

Second-year starting setter Abby Schreur is the foundation for the offense.

“Abby has developed into an essential leader on the court,” Burris said of the junior. “You could compare our setter to the quarterback. She is in charge on deciding who is going to put the ball away. She has taken this leadership role and thrived for us.”

Schreur and senior Delaynee Bowman are the co-captains.

The 13-player roster features just four seniors.

Desirae Burris led her surprising young team to the 3A East championship and the No. 8 seed for this weekend’s state tournament.

key role in the Longhorns’ success. A trio of them has come up big at the net. Raegen Ashby leads the team in hitting percentage (.350) and Savanna White (.247) isn’t far behind.

And Cloee Beeler is hitting .406 the past two games from the middle hitter position, a post she hasn’t spent much time occupying.

As impressive as the offensive effort has been, the Longhorns wouldn’t be enjoying such a strong season without playing strong defense.

“Our team defense overall is one of our main strengths because out of anything else that we do, defense takes everyone playing their part,” Burris said.

Leading the defense is senior

libero Sammi Sokol. “She is the core of our movement on the court,” the coach said.

Sokol leads the team in digs (341) and passing percentage, as well as service aces with 60.

And outside/right side hitters Kailey Carnes, Delaynee Bowman, Kamryn North have also shown versatility.

“All of my outside/right side hitters have done a wonderful job at being versatile and playing anywhere they have been needed,” Burris said. “They have all been exceptional with the many switches and have not once given up when asked to play something different. We have quite a few all around players.

“Seniors Abby Hazelo and Mckenna Crank are also ready to fill any role that they are asked.”

Joining the varsity for the state tournament are: junior Jazmyne Lee, sophomores Makiah Taylor, Chloe Meeske and Elly Schreur and freshman Sadie Hazelo.

While coaches are usually the ones doing the teaching, Burris said she’s surprised at how much she’s learned from the players.

“They have taught me more than I could have imagined,” she said. “I am genuinely so thankful for this incredible group of girls and my assistant coaches (Amber Mathews, Kyleah Sayer and Kamae Carnes).”

Burris said her players wouldn’t change their focus this weekend.

“Going into state, I have no doubt in our ability or how much we want it,” she said.

“However, our thought process is still not wins and losses, but what can you learn from the experience.”
