First winter storm blankets Rim Country Sunny skies to prevail remainder of week by

Although cottonwoods still wore their gaudy fall outfits, an early winter storm dumped several inches of snow on Rim Country, causing surprised drivers to slip and slide. The National Weather Service predicted the storm would move out by Tuesday, but ski resorts will open early this year.

A chilly cold system blew into town Monday and brought with it the first significant snowfall for the Payson area.

While the snow won’t stick around long in Payson, the blanket of snow that coated the Mogollon Rim should be around for a few days.

Daytime temperatures are expected to remain chilly, although things should dry out.

On the roadways, Monday’s daylong storm caused a few minor accidents and slide-offs, with at least one rollover east of town and a semi rolling overnight north of Strawberry.

Crews were expected to close State Route 87 near Strawberry, at milepost 273, for at least an hour mid-morning Tuesday to remove Photo courtesy of DJ Craig the semi, which rolled on its right The geese at Green Valley Park might have wondered on Monday if they put off flying south for a little too long.

Homeowners ponder fine print of this year’s tax bill Payson’s voter-approved override goes to classrooms by

Where the Property Taxes Go

Payment due by Dec. 2 for schools, county, districts by

The Payson Unified School District has not wasted the faith and respect shown by Rim Country voters when they supported the override tax — 100 percent of the funds raised have gone to classrooms and salaries, said PUSD Business Manager Kathie Manning.

In a report to the PUSD school board on Oct. 26, Manning said the majority of the override funds go toward technology, music, band, chorus and physical education classes.

“Approximately $853,170 of override funds are currently budgeted to maintain opportunities for students to participate in classes such as technology, music, band, chorus and P.E.,” Manning said. “That supports 14.7 teachers.”

Another $227,330 of override funds pays for four teachers in the elementary schools to keep classroom sizes smaller.

Without the override funds, Manning said the district would have had to cut those positions due to state budget cuts.

Gila County mailed out property tax bills in October and the first half of the payment was due Nov. 2. The second half is due May 2, 2015.

If a property owner wants to pay the full amount, the payment must be postmarked by Dec. 31, 2015 to avoid interest payments.

The amounts due differ for every home based on its assessed value. However, the percentages are the same.

Here’s a closer look at your property tax bill, with the help of Jacque Griffin, director of the Gila County Library District and assistant county manager, along with material provided

by Jeff Hessenius, Gila County finance director.

The county’s primary tax rate is $4.19 per $100 of assessed value; the secondary tax rate is one-tenth of the primary value.

So, the higher the assessed value of a property, the greater the tax bill — the assessed value is different from market value.

Universities left in the lurch Cozy crafts and a caring heart

by

roundup editor

The dire plight of the state’s three public universities has been largely overlooked in the uproar over funding for K-12 education.

However, by most measures the state’s universities took a much harder hit when the Arizona Legislature slashed state spending after state revenues fell by a third in the Great Recession.

Although state revenues have recovered and the surplus is expected to grow to $650 billion by THE WEATHER

volume 25, no. 90

the end of the current fiscal year, the Legislature has continued making cuts in support for the three state universities.

Even with state revenues recovering this year, lawmakers hacked state support for the universities by an additional 13 percent — or about $99 million.

The state has cut its support for the universities by more than half in the past several years. The cuts prompted the Arizona Board of Regents to approve a doubling in tuition. The state’s universities went from the bottom third nationally for tuition to the top third, with increases continuing in response to added cuts.

Currently, the state pays about one-third of the cost of an undergraduate student. In 2008, the state covered 72 percent of the cost and in 1998 the state covered 88 percent. The Board of Regents has appealed to lawmakers to restore cuts and to cover 50 percent of the cost per student going forward.

In return, the universities have promised to promote greater innovation, cut costs and implement strict accountability measures, like ensuring the bulk of students graduate within six years.

It’s not clean until it’s Sunshine Clean!

Time Out Shelter, the area’s only domestic violence shelter for women and children for October’s Domestic Violence Awareness month.

Each bag had flannel pajamas and various sundry items, like pretty-smelling soap.

Patti Ippolito, with Time Out, said so many women come to the shelter with nothing, so something as simple as cozy pajamas shows them that someone cares.

May said she didn’t set off to take in so many girls or even run the program as long as she has. “I am just a grandma,” she said sitting in her swivel chair, framed pictures of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren hanging on the wall.

Several years ago, May realized one of her granddaughters, then 30, did not even know how to sew on a button.

May taught her sewing basics and afterward thought it would be “neat” to help younger girls learn to sew, like the old home economics courses.

Through her church, she met several home-schooled girls who signed up. Now, she has three girls at her home for several hours every Monday and four girls on Wednesdays.

With limited space in her craft room, May can’t take on any more girls.

Leah Disilvestro and Faith Morris said they didn’t know how to sew very well when they started coming to May’s home, but can now appliqué, piece together quilts and make wall hangings. Disilvestro is working on a

Other community service projects the group has worked on include sewing basic dresses for the Dress a Girl Around the World charity, which has delivered 300,000 dresses to 81 countries.

“It is good for kids to think of others,”

Teubner said, “and not just give me give me.”

May said she loves working with the girls and has no plans of shutting down her craft studio.

“I used to worry about what we do,” she said, thinking she would run out of projects.

“Now they come up with the ideas and teach me.”

Payson budget override goes to classroom From page 1A The remaining $123,120 of the override goes to pay for two teachers to teach advanced placement classes at the high school.

“The AP classes offered include English literature, English language, biology, U.S. history, statistics, calculus and art studio,” said Manning.

Without the override dollars, PUSD would have 21 fewer teachers at the district.

The override ensures local funds meet local needs, said PUSD Superintendent Greg Wyman.

“In the 1980s the Legislature determined that in order to provide a degree of local control, school districts could ask their community if they wanted to exceed the formula for additional money in either the maintenance and operations budget or capital budget,” he wrote in an op-ed. “In order to maintain control, the Legislature placed a specific amount that could be exceeded and required school districts to provide specifics on what they were going to do with the extra money.”

Wyman said the district has decided the areas to support include keeping elementary class sizes within approved ranges, provide advanced placement courses to high school

students, and maintain technology, music and physical education programs and positions.

The Legislature has a specific time span for the override, said Wyman.

“For an M&O override, the district will receive the full amount for four years and then, if the override is not renewed by voters, the district must reduce the M&O override budget by a third for three consecutive years,” said Wyman.

This is the first year of the renewed override after the last vote.

Voters will not have to decide on another override until 2018.

Where does money from property taxes go?

From page 1A The secondary property taxes paid vary by community and are generally set by the special districts. That includes some of the money going to school districts.

This breakdown doesn’t differentiate between the primary and secondary rates; it just looks at the percentages.

In both Payson and Pine, big chunks of that bill go to the county and school districts.

Payson property owners pay 39 percent of their tax bill to the county, with 38 percent going to the Payson Unified School District.

Additional “education” dollars go to Gila County Community College District — 8 percent and the Northern Arizona Vocational Institute of Technology, which funnels state and federal money into vocational training programs — half of a percent.

Also getting 8 percent of a

Payson property owner’s taxes is the Northern Gila County Sanitary District.

The Town of Payson gets 4 percent.

The Gila County Library District, which supports libraries throughout the county, gets 2 percent.

The Fire District Assist Fund gets 1 percent.

Pine and Strawberry residents see 32 percent of their property taxes go to Gila County; 26

percent to the Pine-Strawberry School District; and 25 percent to Pine-Strawberry Fire District.

The Pine Strawberry Water Improvement District claims 8 percent of their property tax bill; 6 percent goes to the Gila Community College District.

As in Payson, Pine-Strawberry residents have 2 percent of their tax bill go to support the Gila County Library District and 1 percent to the Fire District Assist Fund.

Contractor steals elderly woman’s jewelry A Payson man will serve three years in prison in part for stealing jewelry from a homeowner while working as remodeler.

Damon Koerschner was working as a home remodeler when he went into the bedroom of the elderly female homeowner, who was sleeping only a few feet away, and took her jewelry, said Duncan Rose, deputy Gila

County attorney.

“The victim then awakened to find the defendant rummaging through her dresser drawers,” he said.

On Oct. 9, Superior Court Judge Gary Scales sentenced Koerschner to three years prison and 36 months of supervised probation for attempted burglary, trafficking

stolen property and criminal impersonation.

In a separate case, Koerschner gave false identification during an investigation while he had active warrants in both Gila and Maricopa counties.

Koerschner has a prior conviction for sexual conduct with a minor in Gila County from 2014.

Fear and hope; Death and love

• Nov. 15, 1901: Miller Reese patented an electrical hearing aid.

• Nov. 18, 1978: Peoples Temple founder Jim Jones leads hundreds of his followers in a mass murder-suicide at their commune in a remote part of Guyana. Many of Jones’ followers willingly ingested a poison-laced punch, while others were forced to do so at gunpoint. The final death toll at Jonestown that day was 909; a third of those were children.

• Nov. 16, 1988: In Pakistan, citizens vote in their first open election in more than a decade, choosing as prime minister the populist candidate Benazir Bhutto, daughter of former Pakistani leader Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.

She was the first woman leader of a Muslim country in modern history.

• Nov. 17, 1998: DaimlerChrysler begins trading its shares on the New York Stock Exchange. The company had formed five days earlier, when the American Chrysler Corporation merged with the German conglomerate Daimler-Benz AG.

Death.

Mayhem.

Bitter debate.

The slaughter of innocents.

Easy enough to despair for human beings, so prone to rage and hate.

So we cling to people like Darlene May and Martha Teubner.

For five years now, they’ve quietly and lovingly taught teenaged girls the forgotten arts — sewing and crafts. The girls come each week to Darlene’s craft room, where they learn the gentle arts by making things like pajamas, scented soap and other bits of warm comfort.

This year to honor Domestic Violence Awareness Month they gave these carefully crafted items to women and children seeking a safe harbor in the Time Out Shelter, the only domestic violence shelter in Rim Country.

In the past five years, Darlene and Martha’s girls have donated to many good causes.

With typical modesty, Darlene, 82, says she used to worry about coming up with ideas every week. “But now the girls come up with the ideas and teach me.”

We need to learn from Darlene and Martha and the girls now more than ever, in these terrible times.

With careful stitches, they capture the meaning of the season.

As it says in Matthew 25: 35 & 36 — “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.”

They remind us that in darkness, light remains.

Life.

Order.

Loving hands.

The comfort of strangers.

Easy enough to hope for human beings, so prone to love and charity.

Support universities Good work.

Well, really, good start.

Prodded by Gov. Doug Ducey, lawmakers have approved a deal that will honor the law by giving K-12 schools at least 70 percent of the illegally denied inflation adjustment. Granted, they pulled most of the money from the state land trust, which is really already the schools’ savings account. But at least the settlement bandages the festering wound of the inflation lawsuit. We hope voters will approve the settlement proposal in May. But in the meantime, serious work remains undone.

For starters, lawmakers must devote a good chunk of the accumulating surplus to repairing some of the grievous damage done to the state’s three universities, which remain essential to the state’s future prosperity.

Back in 1998, the state covered 88 percent of the cost of educating an undergraduate. Arizona could boast one of the lowest tuition rates in the country, in accordance with a constitutional requirement tuition remains “as nearly free as possible.”

But by the time the smoke had cleared on the Great Recession, the state contributed only a third of the cost of educating a student and the universities had among the highest tuition levels in the country. Arizona cut universities deeper than any other state, resulting in one of the fastest increases in tuition nationally.

Amazingly, lawmakers continued cutting the universities as the economy recovered — imposing another 13 percent decrease this year despite a projected $650 million surplus.

Arizona remains almost uniquely dependent on the three public universities to produce an educated workforce, which remains vital to the state’s economic future.

The Legislature is ignoring the clear language of the Constitution when it comes to universities, just as surely as it ignored the will of the voters in the K-12 inflation adjustment case.

So we hope that Gov. Ducey will show the same leadership in fashioning a way to support the universities as he did when it came to settling the K-12 inflation lawsuit.

He made a good start with that settlement.

We hope he won’t accept a bad finish when it comes to the needs of our youth.

Domestic violence a crime that doesn’t always get punished by

Marcia Clark

attorney, author and advocate for domestic violence victims

“I’m sure she did something to provoke him.

And anyway, it’s a family matter. Why on earth would we call the police?” Not long ago, that was the most common reaction to domestic violence. The victim was routinely blamed for the beating and the assault wasn’t even viewed as a crime. But one of the few good things to come from the OJ Simpson trial was that it blew the doors off those myths and made people aware that not only was it a crime, it was often a deadly crime.

In October, we observed Domestic Violence Awareness Month. I applaud the efforts of countless advocacy groups and individuals who continue to spur progress in the treatment of both victims and abusers. Still, more progress is needed.

In spite of all we’ve learned, many high profile abusers are still receiving favored treat-

ment.

I am now representing an Arizona woman who was attacked by Robert S. Parsons, the son of Go-Daddy founder Bob Parsons. Robert S. Parsons is an individual with significant wealth and power. He’s currently facing felony charges in criminal court, but if past is prologue, it’s entirely possible that it will go the way of so many other cases involving abusers with money and power: washed out with a misdemeanor guilty plea and no jail time or even an eventual dismissal. While I remain hopeful that Robert S. Parsons will be convicted in criminal court, I agreed to take the case to civil court to ensure that he is brought to justice.

When I say past is prologue, I’m not talking about the distant past. I’m talking about 2014.

Remember Ray Rice? The video of him punching his girlfriend in the face and dragging her out of the elevator? The prosecutors charged him with aggravated assault, a charge that carries a potential sentence of five years in prison. Know how much time he got? Zero. He

was allowed to enter a 12 month counseling program usually reserved for non-violent and victimless crimes. If he stays out of trouble, the case won’t even appear on his record. And now it’s being reported by TMZ that teams are showing “legitimate interest” in signing Rice.

The statistics are still chilling. The Huffington Post reported last year that the number of women killed by a male partner or ex-partner between 2001 and 2012 was 11,700; that’s nearly twice the number of American soldiers who lost their lives serving our country in Iraq and Afghanistan during that same period.

It is right and necessary that we honor our war dead. But it is also right and necessary that we honor victims of domestic violence by making sure their attackers are punished.

When an abuser beats his partner and then beats the system it sends a message that domestic violence can be a crime without consequences. It’s time to change that narrative, in Arizona and around the country.

Students will have the opportunity to learn about public speaking, business math, FBLA principles and procedures, and more.

It is also a great way for the students to get involved in the community, right now, we are discussing doing a collection for the “March of Dimes” at our home games.

At our monthly meetings, we discuss the fundraisers needed to raise money for travel and conference expenses. We are also discussing the Middle Level Achievement Awards and beginning to look at the competitive events for our February conference in Phoenix.

Students who qualify for state competition will attend the State Conference in April in Tucson.

Officers were elected and include: President Michael Cline, Vice President Isaac Axlund, Secretary Jerome Gardner, Treasurer Dalton Harold, and Reporter Yamileth Avalos.

Members are currently selling RCMS apparel including T-shirts, hoodies, hats, and cinch bags. If interested in purchasing one of these items, please contact Diggs at the school.

We hope you will support RCMS FBLA as we start a new and exciting chapter.

Yamileth Avalos

Gathering together as friends and neighbors on the common ground of patriotism is one way that we can begin to “make that difference.”

This event is sponsored and presented by the Payson Patriotic Events Committee and is but one of several events presented throughout the calendar year.

Our citizens are encouraged to attend these events to honor the various patriotic occasions being recognized.

A special thank you to all those who participated, those who supported and especially those who attended. Well done Payson!

On behalf of the dedicated volunteers of the Payson Patriotic Events Committee.

Thank you for all the prayers Editor: My family and I would like to express our sincere thanks to everyone who has blessed our lives with their prayers, cards and gifts as we deal with the loss of a very loved and special man, Butch Klein.

He was an amazing husband, father, grandfather, brother, nephew, uncle, cousin, friend, and businessman with a God-led desire to help others.

We want to thank Pastor Donovan Christian for leading the most beautiful Celebration of Life service for Butch, and everyone who attended this special time at our church, Expedition.

Although we miss him dearly, we find peace in knowing that Butch is with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, healthier than he’s ever been now and for eternity.

Again, we thank you so much.

RCMS starts middle level FBLA Editor: Mrs. Rebecca Diggs, the computer teacher at Rim Country Middle School, has opened a new chapter for our students. Diggs is excited to give RCMS students another opportunity to learn about leadership and future careers.

She was an FBLA adviser for four years in Colorado and had a Colorado state officer from her chapter of 10 members in 2012.

RCMS’ Middle Level FBLA may only have 13 members, but our arms are open to anyone willing to join.

Middle Level FBLA has over 20,000 members nationwide and allows students to compete at the local and state level in Arizona.

Thanks for making Veterans Day event a success Editor: Gratitude is extended to all those who attended and participated in the Payson Veterans Day Tribute at the Payson High School Auditorium on Wednesday, Nov. 11 with special appreciation extended to the veterans who attended.

We are delighted that this annual celebration is becoming a Payson tradition and more people are attending each year.

This year we had the largest attendance on record. More than ever, we need occasions such as this to pause, reflect and re-dedicate.

Elks’ veterans event a sellout Editor: The Payson Elks Lodge held its annual salute to veterans and this year’s event was a sellout.

We had a wonderful ceremony, dinner and show to celebrate our heroes.

The Lodge would like to thank all the businesses who contributed to this successful event: Ace Hardware, Candle Factory, Chili’s, Country Charm, Gerardo’s, Macky’s Grill, Payson Roundup, Sawmill Theatres, Scoops, and all the volunteers who worked and participated to let our veterans know, “So long as there are veterans, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks will never forget them.”

Swapping war stories for fish stories Ric Hinkie

special to the roundup

Combat veterans attacked the fish in Green Valley Park’s lakes Nov. 7. Victory was hard fought because the trout had just been stocked and, while visible along the shore, they were clearly not ready for battle. Thankfully crappies and sunfish were captured. The secret weapon was the “Green Weenie” trout fly provided by the Payson locals.

The Payson Flycasters and Payson’s local Trout Unlimited Chapter 530 welcomed Project Healing Waters veterans and their coaches at the ramada nearest the big lake at 7:30 a.m. There was time to plan the fishing campaign, warm chilly hands with cups of hot coffee, and “sugar up” with donuts and cinnamon rolls.

“I haven’t been to Payson in years,” mused George Brill, a recent PHW volunteer, veteran of the 101st Airborne, and coach to Alicia Alarcon, wife of an Air Force vet fishing on the other side of the lake. “This park is beautiful; the town has really grown up.”

“I caught six fish on a fly rod,” beamed Jeanette Richter, who served in the Middle East as an Air Force air traffic controller as well as stateside. Her coach, Jim Strogen, was standing with her

Chuck Tharp from Mesa and Payson resident Gary Bedsworth share a few stories and the occasional fish in the golden fall sunshine as part of Healing Waters, a program that gives veterans a chance to fish. Below, Army retiree Ric Hinkie, co-president of the Payson Flycasters, caught this 16-inch rainbow on a “Green Weenie.” on the east dock.

Chuck Tharp wheeled down to the dock and used the hand rails to stand so he could cast farther.

Tharp served in the Army in Vietnam. “We snuck into North Vietnam to take apart their missile defense equipment to look for weaknesses. Officially, we were never there, of course.”

Payson resident Gary Bedsworth was Tharp’s coach.

Bedsworth is a Trout Unlimited member, Payson Flycasters member and a member of Desert Flycasters, one of several trout clubs in the Valley that support both Project Healing Waters and

Computer club helps students The Payson Association of Personal Computer User Groups made a much needed donation to the Payson High School Future Business Leaders of America group on Nov. 6.

Bud Evans of Payson High School along with student Marshall Parsons gave an excellent PowerPoint presentation on the various activities of the school’s FBLA computer department.

Ray Baxter, treasurer of the Association of Personal Computer User Groups (www.apcug2.org), a national organization that helps computer clubs across the nation and overseas, handed off a check for $100.

Baxter said the club came away with and understanding that despite all the good work PHS is doing, it becomes ever more difficult to accomplish those goals due to funding cuts.

“That’s why I am delighted that the Payson Area Computer Association was able to provide a $100 donation and my hope is to make this an annual occurrence,” said Baxter.

FBLA adviser Bud Evans already has a plan for the donation. “The money from PACA will be used for transportation to the Arizona FBLA Regional Leadership Conference and competition on Feb. 6 at the ASU Polytechnic campus in Mesa,” he

Evans said that traditionally, PHS FBLA dominates the Information Technology events.

Baxter hopes the donation spurs more organizations to support the PHS program.

“My goal (is to share) what we did ... with the APCUG members in an effort to promote the concept of computer clubs directly helping their local schools technology-minded activities,” said Baxter.

That sort of support helps stellar students such as Parsons.

“Marshall Parsons ... is our PHS FBLA chapter president,” said Evans. “This is his fourth

and final year in FBLA and the IT classes. I’ve seen him grow into being a self-confident representative of FBLA, PHS, and for himself. His leadership has brought our chapter into the next level of student-led activities and accountability.”

Evans said Marshall has lofty goals and ambitions. In fact, the University of Advancing Technology (Tempe) has already offered him a $12,000 scholarship.

If the public is interested in supporting PHS FBLA, the group accepts Credit For Kids donations and direct donations such as from PACA. To contact Bud Evans, please call PHS at 928474-2233 or email him at bud. evans@pusd.com.

A variety of long-term care options at Powell Place by

Jennifer Awinda

assisted living director, powell place

Powell Place of Payson provides a variety of options for long-term care to residents of the Rim Country and loved ones they may need to move to the area.

The options include: • Independent Living — Social connections, amenities and no longer having to pay utility or maintenance bills.

• Assisted Living — 24-hour personal care, dressing and bathing assistance, incontinence care, housekeeping, laundry, three meals per day, activities and no more utility or maintenance bills.

• Memory Care — for people with cognitive impairments and various types of dementia, such as Alzheimer’s, Lewy Body, Parkinson’s, etc.

• Skilled Nursing — 24-hour nursing, therapy after a hospital stay, medical needs that are too challenging for an assisted living arrangement.

• Hospice — for people with a terminal illness. Hospice care may be provided in a personal home, long-term care community, or the hospital.

• Home Health — help in your own home with bathing, dressing, incontinence care, wound care, cooking, cleaning, etc.

• Respite Stay — 30 days or less in a longterm care community; for a get-away, or simply to see how you like it before committing to a move-in.

Warning signs

Do you know someone who: • Requires assistance from friends or family for health needs?

• Needs help with dressing, bathing or incontinence care?

• Forgets to take medicine more than once per week?

• Is unable to prepare healthy meals or do household chores?

• Has a history of falling, or trouble keeping

balance?

Any “yes” answer can suggest that your loved one may benefit from the care and service found with a home health company or in a long-term care community.

Some seniors can live independently for years. Others may live alone, but become isolated, lonely, or at risk for health and safety problems. There are many warning signs to keep an eye out for.

We understand that many seniors wish to stay in their homes for as long as possible, and for some seniors, it may be possible with additional support. There are many support service options in Payson, such as home health, physical therapy and hospice care.

Assisted living options are available when home is no longer an option.

Caregiver stress

If you are taking responsibility for helping an aging loved one get through the day, you may be shouldering more caregiver stress than you realize. In some situations, as loved ones age and their health and independence declines, they rely more and more on those around them. What may start as a manageable few errands can place greater and greater demands on your time and energy.

Start the conversation early

When friends and family helping out and home health care are no longer options, it may be time to consider a long-term care community. If you’re concerned about how your loved one will react to a discussion about assisted living, introduce the subject early. Starting the conversation several months prior to a move will give everyone involved time to process the challenges ahead, and time to choose the right community. And the word “conversation” is the key — it needs to be a dialogue, and you need to listen to your loved one’s thoughts and feelings. Remember that this discussion can be challenging, and you may not reach a consensus after the first discussion — you

may have to revisit the topic a few more times.

Taking the time to share your feelings, and understand your loved one’s needs is a crucial part of the process.

Your loved one may benefit from the informed opinion of a physician or nurse.

Dementia is the cognitive impairment of intellectuality, resulting in the inability to control behaviors, and communicate efficiently. Alzheimer’s disease causes the most common type of dementia.

However, there are many diseases which cause dementia.

Here are some, to name a few: • Alzheimer’s • Vascular (the result of stroke) • Parkinson’s • Lewy-Body • Frontal-Temporal • Huntington’s • Injury Induced (like some football players develop) • There are dozens of other types of dementia, as well.

All the different types of dementia have the same symptoms in common: trouble with confusion and thinking; changes in personality and behavior; problems communicating and understanding.

For it truly to be considered dementia, there must be two (2) or more of the following conditions: problems with memory, or learning new things; problems communicating, speaking, reasoning, or finding the right words; problems focusing, or paying attention; problems with judgment, thinking, solving problems, and trying to figure things out; problems with visual perception, or recognizing people or objects. Some people with dementia may not even recognize their own family.

Alzheimer’s dementia

On average, a person with Alzheimer’s dementia lives with it for around 10 years.

Alzheimer’s starts slowly, so it may be hard to determine if someone has it. But, then they start repeating themselves and losing things often. It’s more noticeable when they forget how to do simple things like get dressed in the morning and have a conversation. They will eventually have severe memory loss, and need help with everything from toileting, to bathing, to eating.

People with Alzheimer’s dementia have a hard time remembering things that just happened. They tend to feel more comfortable with the memories from their youth, and often talk about the past. Eventually, they get lost in time and actually think they still live in the past.

They may think they are still 20 years old. They may even think they are a child, and start looking for their grandparent.

Dementia patients who can no longer live at home are usually placed in a memory care commu-

nity. These specially designed communities employ persons who are trained to work with people suffering from cognitive disabilities and their families who are often in denial.

Caregivers in memory care communities go through extensive, ongoing training on how to approach dementia residents and redirect negative behaviors.

They have been trained that it’s easier for us to pretend we’re in a different time or place than it is for a person with dementia to recall recent events or have a reasonable conversation. If a dementia patient thinks the year is 1950, or if they think they are only 12 years old, the care staff won’t try to correct them. Rule 1 — a good caregiver never argues with someone who has dementia.

It’s better to “go with the flow.”

A few helpful ways to approach, and engage a person with dementia: • Sit, squat or stand to make eye contact. Avoid talking to them until they can easily see you.

• Signal their attention — if they are busy doing something else or staring into space, wave your hand or speak respectfully to get their attention.

• Smile, shake hands, introduce yourself and say, “Hello.” They may not remember you, so re-introduce yourself each time.

• Speak slowly and clearly, but don’t treat them like a child.

• Use simple words, familiar words and simple sentences.

• Keep the conversation short and sweet.

• Ask questions they can give a simple “yes” or “no” answer to, such as “Do you want something to drink?” instead of, “What do you want to drink?”

There are some really great videos about dementia. One of my all-time favorites is called, “The Senior Gems” by Senior Helpers. The video features dementia expert Teepa Snow, who educates families and caregivers on how to have daily interactions with people suffering from dementia.

The cooler weather is a great time to trout fish. Longtime trout anglers know this and therefore, now is the time they head to the Rim lakes before the first snow of the season. There are plenty of trout to be caught in Rim lakes and I can almost guarantee that you’ll have the entire lake to yourself.

Universities hoping for budget help From page 1A It costs about $15,500 per student per year, which includes academic programs, support services and operations — but doesn’t include the cost of research and capital expenditures.

In fiscal 2016, the budget calls for the state to provide $5,302 per student, while tuition and fees contribute an average of $6,550.

That leaves the universities trying to cover the added $3,700 per student — leaving a $355 million shortfall, according to a budget summary released by the Board of Regents.

The Regents hope the Legislature will boost per-student state funding to $7,700 per student, starting with restoration of the money cut in this year’s budget. Gov. Doug Ducey had asked for a $75 million reduction and lawmakers boosted that to $99 million. However, since then the state has taken in about $400 million more than the projections anticipated.

Restoring the extra $24 million cut by the Legislature as a supplemental request in the current fiscal year would increase the state’s per-student funding by about $200.

Then in fiscal year 2017, the universities want $10.4 million to cover the costs of student-body growth, $19 million for facility maintenance and a one-time extra capital allotment of $75 million to provide for needed fire alarms, roofing and asbestos removal. The three universities have a backlog of some $652 mil-

lion in deferred capital projects and maintenance.

The loss of state support for any capital projects helps account for the interest of Arizona State University and the University of Arizona in offering programs at a Payson campus built with private capital and donations, rather than state money. The Payson campus offers a potential model for building a state college system, in an era when the Legislature has been reluctant to provide money for things like leaking roofs on existing campus buildings.

The proposed settlement of the inflation lawsuit for K-12 schools could in theory free up a chunk of the growing budget surplus to restore funding for the universities and other programs.

Courts have ruled that the state illegally withheld $336 million in inflation funding in the current year and a total of about $1.4 billion in previous years, in violation of a voter-approved initiative.

The coalition of school districts that sued the state agreed to a settlement brokered by Gov. Doug Ducey, which would give the schools about 70 percent of what the state owes this year and relinquish any claim to the $1.4 billion in back payments.

The state would get 60 percent of the money for the settlement by increasing the amount taken from the state land trust, which would have gone to schools anyway. This means the settlement will take only a portion of the $650 million surplus projected for

the general fund and the rainy day fund reserve.

The universities hope they will get a chunk of that remaining surplus.

However, the Department of Child Safety has also asked for a $65 million increase this year and a $106 million increase in fiscal 2017, with a backlog of cases now

exceeding 13,000.

However, Gov. Ducey campaigned on a promise to eliminate the state income tax, which provides about 40 percent of the state’s revenue.

School advocates say the Legislature may give added tax cuts a priority over restoring funding to state agencies.

side while heading northbound, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation website.

The accident calls started around 9:30 a.m. Monday in Payson with two vehicles that went off the roadway at Tyler Parkway and State Route 260.

The side of a maroon SUV was banged up and the back end of a pickup truck damaged. Police Chief Don Engler said no one was seriously injured.

Around the same time, a passenger vehicle went off the Beeline Highway just past the Mazatzal Hotel & Casino turnoff.

Again, no one was seriously hurt.

The Department of Public Safety said there were seven non-injury collisions, two slideoffs and a minor injury accident at 87 and 260. A rollover was reported near the Young Road turnoff off State Route 260 around 12:20 p.m.

On the Roundup’s Facebook page, readers sent in numerous

pictures of the storm, including the near white out conditions that occurred Monday. Some captured a dusting of snow on trees still vibrant with fall color while others shared photos of their dogs playing outside. “My roses are so confused,� one woman wrote, sharing a photo of red roses with a pile of shaved ice on their petals.

The National Weather Service in Flagstaff said Payson would see wind chill temperatures in the teens Tuesday morning as the storm moved east, leaving behind gusty northerly winds and frigid temperatures.

The high Monday was 47 degrees. Monday’s storm brought 1.22 inches of rain to town, bringing the monthly total to 2.13 inches and the yearly total to 20.3 inches.

For the remainder of the week, the Weather Service calls for mainly clear skies and seasonable temperatures.

A family on the edge

Three generations of joyful worriers find their footing on their way to Aztec Peak by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

I sighed.

Already my daughter Crystal had found a spot to lie down in the back of the Jeep on a trip she never wanted to take, suffering a headache.

I stole a glance at my mom — ever sensitive to whether everyone else was having a good time. I worried she wouldn’t have a good time on the trip I’d cajoled her into taking.

My eyes flicked to the horizon, where storm clouds threatened.

Great: Three generations of misery on a dirt road. I groaned, determined not to let my distress crack the surface of my calm — just like my mother.

Only John Dryer, our guide, seemed undaunted. Only he knew where we were going — a long drive to a beautiful place he promised. I felt out of control. He had decided to take us from the base camp of his home near the banks of Tonto Creek, past Salome Creek, up to Workman Creek on the way to Aztec Peak, and then home again on the roads through the Sierra Ancha Mountains.

“Mom, my head hurts and my stomach hurts bad,” said Crystal — my teenager.

I sighed.

So off we went, three generations, jumbled together like igneous, metaphorphic and sedimentary rock on this tumbled, uplifted mysterious mess of a mountain.

We would travel from the desert to pinyon pine and juniper up into soaring ponderosas through stunning geology of cliffs and canyons

to the highest peak in the Sierra Anchas. The cap of the mountain is covered in erosion-resistant Tapeats Sandstone. Some 200 miles to the east, the same layer of Tapeats Sandstone created the broad bench above the inner gorge of the Grand Canyon — but there it’s 5,000 feet lower, bearing witness to some almost unimaginable upheaval in the earth. I did not know it starting out, but the journey would prove as full of grand views and small surprises as any three generations gathered together for a rattle of a daylong ride on a dirt road.

Setting out, we seemed completely different. My mother’s sandstone, level and broad — the foundation layer. My daughter’s igneous, lava and ash and billows of smoke. I’m somewhere in between — metamorphic, some mix of sandstone and lava — deformed by heat and pressure.

But today, we’d mix it all together, jouncing along on a geological tour — my mother and I in the lead Jeep, my daughter suffering along in the second Jeep.

The Sierra Ancha mountain range sits between Roosevelt Lake in the south, Tonto Basin to the west and Pleasant Valley (Young) in the north.

Geologists call the mountains a transitional zone between the deserts and the Colorado Plateau of Northern Arizona. The Plateau greatly contributes to Arizona’s average elevation of 4,000 feet.

The deep valleys and soaring cliffs protected the Apache tribes, keeping settlers out of the area until late in the 1880s. Once settlers arrived, however, they found

Workman Creek runs off this high point in the Sierra Ancha Mountains in a long tumble into the Tonto Basin. that only the hardiest of people could eke out a living in the deep canyons created by the creeks running off from the mountains.

Even now, little development or agriculture exists due to the rugged landscape.

The road to the entrance of Workman Creek and Aztec Peak serves the people of Young as one of two exits from their valley.

Steep and twisted, the winter turns the journey into an adventure for only the brave.

The drive passes by cliffs of purple tinged with Dripping Spring Quartzite and white-pinkish Troy Quartzite, hard, dense layers that resist the effects of weather and erosion, cut by deep canyons and fissures.

At each turn, a new vista opened with views to Tonto Basin and the mountains surrounding the valley.

My mother loved it. “What a view!” she exclaimed, “Look at those cliffs!”

That should have satisfied me — but I kept thinking about Crystal, back in the other Jeep.

Once on the Workman Creek road, the road got steep as it hugged the precipitously steep sides of the narrow canyon created by the creek. No doubt, the creek ran along a fault, which had weakened the rock enough that even the modest creek had created canyons and waterfalls in its plunge down toward the now-distant Tonto Basin.

Giant ponderosa pines filled the space, stretching their branches to catch beams of sunlight that filtered down into the depths of the valley. No logger had ever found a way to remove these trees that grew up along the narrow strip of banks next to the trickling creek, allowing visitors the pleasure of experiencing an old-growth forest.

My mom and I oohed and ahhed as we wondered at the strength of water against stone.

Suddenly, a wild turkey appeared on the road.

“Don’t see many of those,” commented Dryer.

My mom and I giggled as the gobbler ran at full tilt away

straight up the middle of the road, so frantic to escape our roaring mechanical beasts it never thought to dash off the road into the forest. He seemed faintly ridiculous, a cartoon character in a panic.

“Oh, I wish Crystal could see him,” I cried.

I twisted around to look at the trailing Jeep.

Abruptly, a head popped out, then a camera and then a whole body perched on the edge of the Jeep. At some point, they’d

unzipped the window on the side of the Jeep, so Crystal could deploy her camera.

“It’s Crystal!” cried my mom, grinning.

I felt revived, renewed, the pressure suddenly released.

The turkey finally decided to get off the road. He dashed up into the woods. I could hear Crystal’s laughter.

Five minutes later, we pulled over at Workman Falls — which drops 200 feet over a sheer cliff of

Young, Highway 288. We head north on Highway 288, climbing up out of the desert to a series of mid-level “benches” on the way up into the mountains. At a wide pullout part way up, the group stops to “air down,” dropping their tire pressure down to around 20 psi. Most also disconnect their front sway bars, which allows their front axle to articulate, or flex, more. Lower tire pressure and more flex greatly improves the ride and traction on rugged back-country roads.

After the routine air down and disconnect stop, the group travels a short distance further to the turnoff to Forest Road 289, a narrow, brushy two-track road all too easy to miss.

Now the four-wheeling starts.

FR 289 immediately becomes rough and rocky, so everyone shifts down into low range, crawling through washouts and over rock ledges. Downed trees and large rocks block part of the roadway, and the vehicles must drive over, under, around, and through all kinds of obstacles. At one point, the vehicles have to pass under a massive dead pine tree, which has fallen across the road from the slope above and lodged in the fork of

If you’re going to make the trip to Asbestos Point, you will need to pass under this massive downed pine tree that spans the road. Our Jeeps cleared with room to spare, but a large vehicle with a camper or even a roof rack would be out of luck. This picture also makes the road look deceptively easy. Trust me, it’s a rough, rocky, eroded, low-range crawl.

Asbestos Point Jeep trek From page 1B

The asbestos mine tailings high on the mountainside are visible from all over the Tonto Basin.

However, it takes a rugged, all-day Jeep trip to get to the spot.

another large tree on the downhill side. A large vehicle could not get past it, since the road has not been maintained for years. But what the RC4W folks like best.

The route follows a small stream up the heavily-wooded canyon, and climbs steeply up the north slope of the ridge, zig-zagging to the top, then crossing over to the south side overlook, where the old mines are.

It takes several hours to cover a few miles. Once at the top, the group is treated to a breathtaking view. Looking at the surface of Roosevelt Lake 4,500 feet below, it’s almost like being in an airplane. You can see for miles. To the southeast, you can see the Pinal Mountains south of Globe as well as the Superstition Mountains to the southwest. Farther west, Four Peaks and the south end of the Mazatzal Mountains dominate the horizon. Some of the group drive out on the shelf road to the mine entrances themselves so they can stand at the very top of those huge, white tailing piles. As the name implies, these were asbestos mines, so we don’t spend too much time breathing the dust blowing around on this cold, windy day. After an hour of snapping pictures and marveling at the never-ending view, the

group heads home. It’s around 1:30 p.m.

It was a long 90-mile trip to get here, and everyone still has to get back home. The group makes it back to Highway 288, and four vehicles head back down to Roosevelt Lake. The remaining six vehicles head north, for a late lunch/early dinner at the Antlers restaurant in Young. (If you haven’t eaten at the Antlers, you absolutely need to do it. It’s an RC4W favorite, and highly recommended.)

Following an excellent meal, it’s time to head home. The RC4W member from Snowflake heads north on the main road out of Young, while the other five vehicles elect to take FR 200, the

Gem and Mineral show this weekend by

Teresa McQuerrey

roundup staff reporter

The Gem & Mineral Show, presented by the Payson Rimstones Rock Club, is in a new, family-friendly venue this year. It will be held in Longhorn Gym (the old gym) on the Payson High School campus both Saturday, Nov. 21 and Sunday, Nov. 22.

Admission is $2 per person, with those 12 and under admitted for free. Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday.

Members of the Rimstones will have four display cases of specimens on exhibit and at least 18 vendors participating.

Show chairman Margaret Jones said among the vendors

will be someone from Arkansas and the White Mountain Gold Prospectors Club. They will all have materials for sale, including specimens, jewelry, materials to make jewelry, equipment, books and more.

The show continues its tradition of offering educational opportunities for those interested. Most are designed for children, but older rockhounds may enjoy them as well.

In the education room, there will be a black light display, sandstone painting, beading and a display on volcanoes. Anyone can bring in a special mineral find or two for identification by the experts.

Chamberlain Trail, back to meet Highway 260 east of Christopher Creek, where they air their tires back up and reconnect their sway bars for highway travel.

The Payson folks arrive back in town around 6 p.m., tired but happy after a nine-hour, 175mile day. The weather was good, the view was superb, lunch was great, and nobody got stuck or had any mechanical problems.

Couldn’t be better.

This trip was an example, and not all RC4W day trips are this long, but Arizona is a land of vast distances, and as we often say ... if you wanna see it, you just gotta go there.

Until next time ... Happy Jeepin’.

1107 S. Beeline Highway

The writer and her family gather on the sandstone furnishings of the “Flintstone Campground” atop Aztec Peak.

Aztec Peak trip From page 1B black granite.

First out of the Jeep, Crystal with camera in hand.

She wandered over to a lookout point to start snapping photos of the waterfall, clouds, the plants and us.

Mom watched her, beaming.

But Aztec Peak waited, so we climbed back into the Jeeps to continue the journey.

“I’m taking you to what we call the Flintstone Campground,” said Dryer a glint in his eye.

My mom and I shared a look.

Dryer has his quirks.

The road up to Aztec Peak passes by meadows full of aspen groves and swaths of coastal wood fern — a plant usually only found near the Pacific Coast that somehow showed up in the meadows of this inland mountain range. four-wheel drive, Only high-clearance vehicles can make it to the top of Aztec Peak through the ruts and rocks in the road, a ride as rough as a dysfunctional family gathering.

Topping out on Aztec Peak, the geology instantly changes.

Here, great slabs of Tapeats Sandstone replace the hard edges of quartz and granite.

With a flourish, Dryer present-

ed the “Flintstone Campground.”

Someone had built thrones and picnic tables and benches from great slabs of sandstone that looked too heavy for 10 people to lift.

Losing themselves in the pure joy of discovery, my mom and Crystal rushed to the stone furniture to climb and sit, snap photos and play.

Then the view captured everyone’s attention.

It went on and on forever into the peaks and valleys of New Mexico. And it seemed in that moment — watching them together — I could see my family more clearly.

We all cherish the same things — the family, the view, the ridiculous turkey. Sedimentary, igneous, metamorphic — all the same in the end — just layered differently.

Then came the best moment of the whole trip, a picture of the family, my dad included, at Fred Flintstone’s dining room. All that was missing? A nice, perfectly roasted turkey.

“Mom, I’m so glad I came,” Crystal gushed.

Overhearing, my mom smiled.

I knew that smile so well, over all the years, for she remains that deep layer of basement rock on which our family rests.

Pete Aleshire/Roundup

The trip to Aztec Peak involves a day-long trek on a good dirt road, but offers rewards like Workman Creek and the view from the 7,700-foot Aztec Peak, which Crystal Kubby enjoys below.
