The festering conflict between Payson Mayor Kenny Evans and Rim Country Educational Alliance (SLE) Chairman Steve Drury broke into the open Thursday over contrasting plans for buying 253 acres to build a university campus in Payson. Criticism of Evans dominated the meeting otherwise headlined by good news for the years-long effort to convince Arizona State University to operate a 6,000-student campus in Payson.

Drury said the Forest Service is willing to sell extra land, a developer is ready to front money for plans and purchase, and ASU is ready to sign an agreement to build the campus. The only remaining dispute appears to center on how to buy the Forest Service land and on certain financial guarantees ASU has requested. Reportedly, Evans provided the necessary assurances in a meeting with ASU officials this week. Evans wants to use money

New research shows forest thinning projects will protect rural communities and provide the Valley with more water.

the researchers concluded. Other studies predict each one-degree (Celsius) increase in average temperatures will decrease the flow of the already over-promised and droughtplagued Colorado River by 10 percent. The study noted that the water-producing effects of thinning projects fade after about six years, but could probably be maintained by additional thinning or the use of controlled burns every six years in the thinned areas. The study provides hard numbers to support the idea that the state and federal government should push for forest thinning through projects like 4FRI because it would not only reduce wildfires and protect rural communities, but also offer a cost-effective way to provide more water to the Valley and other urban areas.

In Payson, a total of 29 people went to the polls and in Star Valley another five cast ballots in person. Pine had 325 people vote at the polls. Payson had one precinct, Payson 2, where no votes were made in person. Payson 1 had eight; Payson 3 had four; Payson 4 saw five voters show up; and three people cast ballots in each of the following precincts, Payson 5, 6, 7 and 8. The final results also revealed dramatic differences in overall voter turnout in Gila County precincts, according to figures released by the county elections department. The precinct-level figures also revealed some perhaps surprising insights as to which local candidates did best in which neighborhoods. The most dramatic trend showed a huge difference in turnouts in North County precincts

Can state opt out of Common Core? BY

MICHELE NELSON

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

The new Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction Diane Douglas, ran on an anti-Common Core platform, but would pulling out of the program help or hurt students and schools? Already, Oklahoma, Indiana and South Carolina have reversed their adoption of the standards, with mixed results. Numerous news agencies have reported that the federal government has told the opt-out states they must replace the Common Core with standards as rigorous in addition to creating an assessment test that proves the students have mastered those standards. If the opt-out states do not follow those guidelines, they risk losing federal Race to the Top funds they already accepted and spent based

on their adoption of the Common Core standards. Indiana has already submitted a new list of standards, but antiCommon Core politicians and residents have decried them as too closely resembling the Common Core. Payson Unified School District Superintendent Greg Wyman weighed in on the topic when he spoke to the Payson Tea Party. “We’ve always had standards,” he said. “I cannot think of a profession without standards ... what it is doing is giving you a basic concept of where you want to go.” Wyman said 85 percent of the Common Core standards reflect the old Arizona state education standards. What concerns Wyman? If Arizona decides to opt out of the

Thinning Northern Arizona’s forests could increase runoff by 20 percent, which would restore streams, wetlands, springs and produce more water for Phoenix and other cities, according to a just-completed study by researchers from Northern Arizona University. The study suggests that the Four Forest Restoration Initiative and similar efforts could increase runoff in the Salt and Verde rivers significantly, just as the effects of drought and climate warming reduce snowfall and create the prospect of a severe water shortage. The estimated increase in runoff ranged from 10 to 40 percent, but it held up in periods of both ample rainfall and drought. The increase during normal or above-normal

years would significantly increase runoff into reservoirs supplying the Valley with water. During droughts, the stressed plants would likely capture much of the added runoff — but that would significantly reduce the threat of mega-fires like the Rodeo-Chediski and Wallow fires, the researchers concluded. “We found that runoff from thinning ponderosa pine at the landscape scale was about 20 percent greater than unthinned forests, regardless of whether treatments occurred in a drought or in a pluvial (wet) period,” the researchers concluded. The estimates suggest widespread thinning projects could yield up to as much as 100,000 acre-feet of additional runoff at a time when climate models suggest the current humaninfluenced warming trend will decrease snowpack in Arizona by an average of 20 percent

Nature’s Harvest, which ran medical marijuana patient assistance programs in Payson and the White Mountains, has pleaded guilty to illegally facilitating the sale of marijuana. A judge will sentence Nature’s Harvest at 1:30 p.m. Dec. 4 in an Apache County courtroom. Because it is an entity, which has since dissolved, the judge will

likely impose a fine, said Navajo County Attorney Brad Carlyon. Nature’s Harvest founder Sheelah Jo Golliglee pleaded guilty to the same charge in February, a year after the Navajo County Sheriff’s Office raided Nature’s Harvest offices and Golliglee’s home. Golliglee is serving two years of probation. The raid in 2013 came after a six-month investigation that in-

Lack of smoke alarm could have proved fatal BY

201 West Main Street • 468-7535

Firefighters say two people are lucky to be alive after a fire started in their kitchen while they were sleeping Wednesday. The singlewide trailer had no smoke alarms, but two people inside somehow woke up and smelled the smoke. The fire was already burning up the kitchen cabinets and had spread to part of the ceiling, filling the small trailer with thick, black smoke down to knee level, said Capt. Jarrett Cline with the Payson Fire Department. “(They) escaped with flames over their heads,” said Battalion Chief Dan Bramble. The first engine from the Main Street station arrived around 7:10 p.m. and found the pair safely outside. “It is pure luck that they didn’t succumb,” Cline said. “This could have been a potentially deadly situation if they hadn’t woken up.” Crews knocked the fire down in five to 10 minutes, saving much of the trailer, which didn’t appear to have any visible damage from the outside.

from the Mogollon Health Alliance to save time. Drury wants the developer, DCK, to arrange financing to cover the $4.2 million cost of the land and the $2.2 million cost of drawing up final plans. After criticizing Evans for exerting too much control, Drury said Evans must supply financial guarantees for ASU to move forward. However, Drury also implied that he could perhaps get the money from another, undisclosed donor or partner. Contacted after the meeting, Evans said the plan to have the Rim Country Educational Foundation buy the land and provide money for required archaeological work would speed the process. Foundation board member Laura Bartlett said she and Evans met this week with ASU Vice President Richard Stanley to work out the requested financial guarantees to provide $10.2 million to ensure ASU won’t lose money on the 1,000-student Phase I. She said Stanley also approved a plan to cover the roughly $10 million cost of putting in infrastructure like roads and water without putting the cost into ASU’s lease payments. “I don’t know why they want to charge at windmills in search of hidden agendas,” said Evans. During the meeting, Drury castigated Evans for trying to sideline the Alliance board and wield control over the university project, which is now on the brink of fulfillment. “There is a move afoot to basically shove the SLE aside and substitute an instrumentality — the Rim Country Educational Foundation,” said Drury. The Payson Town Council later on Thursday considered but then delayed action until Dec. 18 on a resolution that did indeed list the Foundation rather than the Alliance as its designee to buy the land from the Forest Service. Evans promised to hold a public forum before the Dec. 18 council meeting to explain the various proposals. Drury said he had contacted the state Attorney General’s Office to find out if it is legal for the Foundation to buy the land and transfer title to the not-yetcreated Master Special Purpose Entity. It remains unclear who would control the Master Special Purpose Entity. The entity would not only wind up owning the land but also control other not-yet-created entities to build and operate

Rim Country Educational Alliance Chairman Steve Drury says a developer will provide money for the university land purchase. the dorms, buildings and spinoff operations. The creation of the entities would not only insulate Payson and Star Valley from liability but provide significant tax advantages. Star Valley and Payson could designate the Alliance SLE board as the master special purpose entity. Star Valley Mayor Ronnie McDaniel sits on the SLE board but didn’t speak during the meeting. The two town councils could also appoint a separate board to run the master SPE. In that case, the existing Alliance board could lose effective control over the project. That possibility lay at the heart of Drury’s criticism of the plan to have the Foundation buy the property. Drury also offered as proof for the alleged takeover scheme by the mayor a page from a Power Point presentation that seemed to show the Alliance board connected to the Master SPE by a dotted line. “This is the mayor’s new vision. You will see that the SLE has been moved off to the side and you will see a dotted line between the SLE and the Foundation — which would be the driver of all of this. That dotted line says advice and counsel — you are not part of the process, but you’re an adviser to the process.” Drury argued that using the Foundation to buy the property might not be legal. “I did talk to the attorney general’s office — and we’re going to find out if this authority exists.” Absent the apparent struggle for control, the meeting and subsequent events brought the longdelayed deal to build a campus nearly within reach.

Both Evans and Drury have separately reported that ASU now stands ready to move forward to build and operate a campus. Evans indicated he has satisfied ASU’s desire for financial guarantees, backers have more land than ever and they have apparently lined up two different ways of coming up with the money to buy the land and complete the necessary archaeological work. Drury even met with the Gila Community College board on Thursday to talk about including another chunk of land next to the community college in the project. This would enable the Alliance to build facilities that would support the future growth of the community college. Drury repeatedly said DCK will advance $6.5 million for the land purchase and final plans. However, one draft of the proposed predevelopment agreement the Alliance board went into executive session to discuss didn’t include a promise by DCK to provide the money. Alliance board member Mary Kastner later called the Roundup to say that draft of the agreement was incomplete. A call to DCK Chief Financial Officer Larry Allen was not returned prior to press time. If DCK won’t provide the money, then the Foundation’s plan would still cover the land purchase. The Foundation would get the money back once the backers draw on a promised line of credit from National Standard Financial, which bundles investments mostly in municipal bonds for insurance companies. The money would then help provide the finan-

cial guarantee against operating losses in Phase I that ASU has requested, said Evans. The already bewildering dispute between the once-united backers of the university project took another confusing turn during the meeting when Drury linked it to Evans’ suggestion that the project include a new road that would provide another point of access to both the university campus and perhaps to the proposed Fox Farm industrial park in Granite Dells. That theory came up after one audience member appealed to the Alliance board to work together with Evans and the Foundation. “Clearly there’s a rift between the two teams,” he said. “Oh, yes,” said Drury. “It is not too late for the two teams to be together again, if they ever were,” persisted the audience member. “We definitely were,” said Drury. “The rift came by virtue of a meeting that Kenny Evans and I had in my office about six weeks ago.” Drury said Evans proposed building a road from the highway to Granite Dells through the hilly, largely unbuilt east end of the campus. Drury suggested the road would not benefit the campus, but would benefit the proposed industrial park. “It became very obvious to him at that point he could not control the SLE,” said Drury. “We have six board members here and most of them can think for themselves. We were appointed by the Town of Star Valley and the Town of Payson to think for ourselves. And this is what we’re trying to do.” “I’m surprised the rift would occur over that,” said the audience member. “What if it’s a good idea to build the road? You think he didn’t figure out until then that he couldn’t control the SLE?” “Well, he had some hints,” said Drury, referring to a previous disagreement between Evans and Drury about whether to stick with the Forest Service site or switch to a site at the end of Main Street now occupied by the Payson Golf Course. Evans did not attend the meeting, but in an interview afterward said Drury misunderstood his questions about adding the road. He said he thought the developers of the industrial park might pay for the road, which would provide a place to put commercial development that would help generate money to support the campus. “I thought it would provide a mile of retail shops on somebody else’s ticket,” said Evans.

Common Core opt-out impact on schools unclear From page 1A Common Core he said schools could lose federal funding and “go a lot of a way around to get back where we started.” The creators of Common Core hoped to prepare students to critically examine what they read or saw, to ask, “Who wrote this? What was their intent? What studies support the evidence?” Instead of simply memorizing and regurgitating the content. Teachers delve deeper into topics to examine them from more points of view. Most opposition has focused on the standards. Common Core requires more word problems to mimic actual daily problem-solving questions, but some of the questions seem to require an Einstein level of understanding to do something like calculate the area inside

a shape. The Common Core State Standards Initiative website said, “High standards that are consistent across states provide teachers, parents, and students with a set of clear expectations to ensure that all students have the skills and knowledge to succeed in college, career, and life upon graduation from high school, regardless of where they live.” During the school board candidate debate hosted by the Payson High School Key Club, Sheila DeSchaaf told of a student who moved to a Rim Country school and sat in class bored for two years because her school in Chicago had already taught the curriculum. DeSchaaf said if she had to move her family to another state, she would not wish to see her children suffer. “My family is still in the Midwest and if I

had to move there for them if they became ill, I would want (my children) to go to school and not be impeded,” she said. And what about the new AzMERIT (Arizona’s Measurement of Educational Readiness to Inform Teaching) test already purchased and ready to roll out this year? It would be up to the newly elected Arizona Superintendent to implement the test. Douglas has said she will push to repeal the nationally benchmarked standards, but that’s up to the State Board of Education. Even if the state pulls out of Common Core, it will have to come up with some sort of standards, said the State Board of Education. Yet Douglas, and newly elected Governor Doug Ducey, both ran on the platform of doing away with Common Core.

LOOKBACK

Time to get political to save forest W

• Nov. 23, 1876: William Marcy “Boss” Tweed, leader of New York City’s corrupt Tammany Hall political organization, is delivered to authorities in New York City after his capture in Spain. He had formed the “Tweed Ring,” which bought votes, encouraged judicial corruption and extracted millions of dollars from city contracts. • Nov. 22, 1916: Jack London, who chronicled the last Wild West frontier of Alaska, dies in California. London only spent a brief time in the Klondike, but returned with a trove of tales. He produced over 50 volumes of short stories and novels, including “The Call of the Wild,” about a domestic dog who joins an Alaskan wolf pack. • Nov. 21, 1986: National Security Council staff member Oliver North and his secretary, Fawn Hall, begin shredding documents that would have exposed their participation in a range of illegal activities. North was fired, but Hall continued to sneak documents to him by stuffing them in her skirt and boots.

e’ve got to get political if we’re going to save our homes and livelihoods. So hopefully voters, local officials and anyone who represents rural Arizona in the Legislature or Congress will pay close attention to the results of a study on the impact of forest thinning projects on water runoff. The Northern Arizona University researchers concluded that thinning projects like those at the heart of the crucial Four Forest Restoration Initiative could increase runoff into the Salt and Verde river watersheds by 20 percent. Why does that matter? Surely, the danger that a crown fire in the dangerously overgrown forests will destroy towns like Payson, Flagstaff, Show Low and other forested communities matters more than an extra 100,000 acre-feet of runoff. Alas, not really. All the votes for funding things like thinning projects remain concentrated in the Valley. They might shake their heads when they read about disasters like the lethal Yarnell Fire, but they won’t fork out any money to thin the forests to prevent such a cataclysm. But with the region in the grip of a 20-year drought of historic proportions, they just might pay attention to the need for forest thinning if it means they can keep watering their lawns down there in the desert. The research based on computer model projects from actual thinning projects make perfect sense. The 2.6 million acres of mostly ponderosa pine forest included in the 4FRI project boundaries once upon a time averaged about 50 trees per acre. Now, it’s more like 1,000 trees per acre. Obviously, all those stunted trees in dense, doghair thickets soak up a lot of water. We’ve gone from an open, pine grassland to a stressed, fireprone thicket. As any old-timer will tell you, the streams used to run year-round, charged with runoff from atop the Rim. Now most of them have dried up, along the with springs that fed them. The thickets of trees up on top swallow up every drop of water they can. The news that thinning projects in the high country can produce water for the Valley comes at the perfect moment. The state’s political leaders are just waking up to an alarming water shortage. The crunch will hit first on the Colorado River, where seven states have divided up far more water than actually flows down that liquid lifeline for a vast region. Already, reservoirs have dwindled and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is warning of rationing ahead — with Arizona standing near the end of the line when it comes to water rights to the vital river. Many rural communities are also already feeling the shortage. Prescott is embroiled in a legal struggle to continue pumping groundwater from the headwaters of the Verde River — with both Camp Verde and the Salt River Project on the other side of the tug of war. Sierra Vista faces growth constraints as its water table falls. And if you think it’s bad now, wait until another decade or two of rising temperatures has its effect. Researchers already warn that megadroughts will occur with increasing frequency as average temperatures rise. That’s why the high country’s best hope of political help lies in convincing people in the Valley that their water supply depends in part on restoring balance and health to the forests of Northern Arizona. Only then, will Rim Country get the help it needs to prevent a runaway crown fire from destroying our whole way of life. The figures should also spur greater focus on the frustrating effort to accelerate the 4FRI project, which remains the best chance of restoring forest health in coming decades. The Forest Service has embraced thinning, controlled burns and an emphasis on forest health and it’s having an welcome effect. But only harnessing private enterprise and a re-invented timber industry can tackle the task with the speed and scope it demands. That’s why we hope that newly re-elected state Representative Brenda Barton will make forest health and watershed restoration her top priority as she chairs the state water resources committee. We need a partnership with the federal government and a single-minded focus on finding money to accelerate things like 4FRI. Politics remains the art of the possible — and the ability to create coalitions of mutual interest. We need to make sure that the people in the Valley understand that their water supply depends on the health of our forests.

WILLIAM HERMANN

AUTHOR

There was this quote about “nice guys’’ I couldn’t use in my newspaper stories. I covered about 500 homicides and at least another 1,000 mean streets mayhem stories during my 23 years reporting on crime and urban issues for The Arizona Republic, and at almost every instance of a man murdering someone or going berserk and shooting up the neighborhood, one or another of the neighbors who knew him would say something very close to, “Gee, he seemed like such a nice guy! Who would have thought he’d have done such a terrible thing?’’ So many shocked neighbors say words to that effect, it’s a newsroom joke. In fact, the world is full of “nice guys.’’ There is no end of men and women seemingly so reasonable and pleasant, so benign and convincing, that you see why they were able to marry people and then strip them of every dime they had, cheat business partners who you’d think would know better, skip out on landlords, attract investors into bogus ventures, lead clients down the road to financial disaster and willfully deceive everyone they know. If people along the way had done a little checking up on these characters, they wouldn’t have been so successful

in their deceptions. Recently it occurred to me that I could bring my police reporter’s experience to bear to help people do a background check on their own, and not have to use a private investigator or the online “we can find out anything about anybody’’ services that typically are just a scam. My book is “Check Them Out! Background Checks, Step-by-Step,” and it’s a guide on how to check out a person you may wind up in some relationship with — either personal or financial, and to do so at little or no cost. It’s for the person who has met an apparently nice man or woman online or at a party, perhaps has gone on a few dates, and wants to make sure this person is who they say they are, is unmarried (like they say they are), and generally is safe and honest. This book is for people who want to check up on a prospective doctor or lawyer or want to be careful about anyone they give access to their home — a caregiver, a babysitter, a house-

keeper, a gardener or a handyman. It’s for wise apartment managers who carefully screen prospective tenants and it’s for the human resources exec whose responsibilities include checking out employee applicants. Oh, yes. This book also is for people who enjoy doing a little detective work, enjoy delving into the marital, legal, financial and personal lives of their acquaintances and friends and people they read about in the news. Opportunities to be a sleuth, a muckraking reporter, an amateur P.I., a skillful snoop, are greater than they’ve ever been, with worlds of information now at our fingertips. This book is for the investigative reporter or private investigator in all of us. It’s for all of us who ought to be in the know, and now can know how. HOW TO GET IT: On Amazon Books search for William Hermann or “Check Them Out! Background Checks, Step-by-Step.” It’s a Kindle book at $4.99, but can also be accessed by anyone with a Kindle AP on any device. Soon it will be in wider electronic distribution.

many thanks to all involved in this recovery, which to me is an indication of the honesty and integrity of the citizens of this town, the restaurant and the person or persons who aided in this endeavor. Best wishes and thanks to all. G.H. Black

Even worse, I broke her heart. I’ve had my heart broken. It ain’t fun. She is not the first reader, however, to observe that despite my best efforts I eventually evince evidence that I am an error-head.

Grateful for return of lost ring EDITOR: To the people of Payson: In this town exists an establishment worthy of more than mere honorable mention. On Sunday, Nov. 16, a friend and I chose to have breakfast at the Crosswinds Restaurant at the Payson Airport. At some point, a valuable ring slipped from my finger and was lost in the parking lot. This item not only has some monetary value but also sentimental as well. We were unable to locate it after an extensive search. The staff and management were alerted and searched for this item on their own volition, unbeknown to us while we ate, an honorable effort at the very least. My contact information was left with the staff at the Crosswinds. Upon arrival at my domicile we found a message that the ring had been found by an honest patron (I.D. unknown) and given to lost and found at the Crosswinds. Much heartfelt appreciation and

Editor’s goof breaks reader’s heart EDITOR: In reference to your Friday, Nov. 14, editorial headed “Information banishes fear” where you wrote “we trust the town will air on the side of full disclosure.” Oh, Pete, Pete, you’re breaking my heart. “Air”? Really? Is that like, um, hot air? Elizabeth Beck Editor’s note: Ms. Beck has effectively eviscerated my errant effort to effect an air of excessive erudition. She efficaciously aired the affronted emotions evoked by this egregious, extemporaneous error.

Gas price update EDITOR: Monday, Nov. 17, gas in Chandler was $2.56 per gallon. Same day, gas in Payson was $3.05. I have asked before and I will ask again, why is gas so high in Payson? My answer to that question is pure greed. Don’t even think about telling me it cost 49 cents per gallon to ship it here. I mentioned in my last letter, I will not buy gas here unless I have to. I tell everyone coming up to visit to fill up in the Valley before making the trip. Maybe if more Payson residents do the same, it will send a message to the gas station owners. Hit anyone in the pocket and you will get their attention. Bob Graziano

Children discover happy inner artists at after-school program BY

STEPHANIE LANDERS

SPECIAL TO THE ROUNDUP

Stepping into the room at the first official Divinity Art class, it was hard to hear yourself think over all the giggles and excited jabbering. More than a dozen boys and girls were either walking around a pair of tables filled with colored pencils, paper and modeling clay or seated and pouring attention into their creative work. Director Joey Klein explained the day’s task. “First they’re drawing a picture of whatever they want, and then they’ll re-create the scene with modeling clay.” So that Klein wasn’t left managing the group alone, volunteers Anissa Collins and Adam Pavis rolled up their sleeves and provided advice and guidance for the little visionaries, boys and girls between the ages of 6 and 12. Klein, a local entrepreneur and community advocate, is branching out with this new program, geared to inspire the creative talents of area children. Divinity Arts kicked off its first class with a sold-out attendance of roughly 20 kids. Klein launched the program in hopes of serving the community. “I started thinking about what I could do for the community, for these kids, to fill a void. “I’m constantly hearing parents talking about the lack of art programs in this town, so I decided to start the art program for our kids.” He’s hoping to involve other community members as well. “I’m somewhat of an artist, but I also recognize that there are a lot of local artists in Payson that could bring a lot of value to working with the kids. I’m getting them involved. Right now I have about 12 signed on.” Some of these artists include local photographers Bessie J. Watson and Amy Martell, along with homegrown author and maze artist Steven Cole. Klein stressed the importance of variety in the program. For instance, his father-in-law is a contractor who will teach woodworking and

Stephanie Landers photo

Gerardo’s Firewood Café owner Gerardo Moceri will teach a class on the culinary arts. “So it’s not just going to be a program where they sit, paint and draw every time they show up. It’s going to be anything that’s really going to let them tap into that creative side of their brain. We want to get as out of the box as we can with this program.” And according to Klein, excitement is a guarantee, “One week they might show up and do some painting, the next week they might show up and do some metal art. I don’t really want them to know what the curriculum is because I want them to be looking forward to what’s happening when they show up.” The classes are held on the Expedition Church campus; Divinity Arts is not a church program, but Expedition offered to rent a courtside classroom to the group at a very reasonable rate. “They wanted to do something that was community minded,” said Klein. “I’m actually renting it at a very low cost. They’re very, very supportive.” With the class spread out across the large room, you could see there is plenty of space for the kids to get creative and play. And there are no chairs. Klein

explained, “the kids don’t need chairs, they can just grab whatever they want for their project and either stand up or grab a spot on the floor.” The loose regimen seems to work quite well, as the squeals and excited conversation stood as a testament to the children’s joy. “It gets a little loud in here, but that’s a symptom of fun. We don’t have a lot of classroom rules.” Before the class was over, blank pages filled with images of everything from dinosaurs to flowers, and the different shades of modeling clay were molded to match. The lesson taught the kids about drawing, shapes and the satisfaction that comes with following through on a plan. Next week this group will learn about photography, and Klein says a Tuesday class is already filled up and ready to go — it kicks off next month. Divinity Arts is located at 301 S. Colcord Road, behind Expedition Church. Classes started last Monday, but because of the unrestricted curriculum creative kids can sign up any time. A $40 monthly membership buys and hour-and-a-half-long class, one day a week. To get your child enrolled in the program, or if you would like more information, you can call Klein at (602) 300-8739.

County offers anonymous crime tip line The Gila County Sheriff’s Office and the Gila County Attorney’s Office have partnered with Freeport-McMoRan to offer a new way to report crime. WeTip, 800-78-CRIME, is a 24hour anonymous crime reporting service. “We are excited to partner with WeTip and offer this service to our community,” said Sheriff Adam Shepherd. “Together we can make a difference in the fight against crime throughout our communities.” How WeTip works: • All calls are anonymous, not

just confidential. There is no taping, tracing or caller ID. • If a caller identifies themselves, the operator will say, “I have to disconnect this call, please call back and speak to another operator” to maintain a caller’s anonymity. • The operator takes the caller through 65 questions. These questions were developed through the aid of law enforcement to elicit as much information as possible. • The operator asks the caller if they are interested in a reward if there is an arrest or conviction.

Mini-Golf Entertainment Center will be open on Thanksgiving Day BY

KELLY GRIFFITH

ROUNDUP INTERN

Kids and teens rejoice — there is something fun to do with friends. Pirate’s Cove Mini-Golf Entertainment Center opened at 805 E. Highway 260 Labor Day weekend, offering an 18-hole mini-golf course, more than 20 arcade games, pool tables, a jukebox and food all with a pirate-themed twist. Even the employees go by spirited names like “Monkey.” The large community room is available for parties and every inch of the walls is covered in blackboard for drawing. The full kitchen snack bar offers everything from chips and soda to pizza and cheeseburgers. Specials include a deepfried hot dog with onions and nacho cheese, a Bavarian pretzel and pirate cheese planks. On the weekends and weekday evenings, students and families fill the center, but on the weekdays, seniors and smaller groups take advantage of the quiet. Not everyone has been thrilled with the mini-golf facility opening, though. Several neighbors complained to the town that the theme music pumped into the outside golf area is too loud. The town and police investigated, but found the music was within regulations and met all town ordinances. Manager Laycie Speiser said since the Labor Day weekend opening, the turnout has been consistent. She said the business has a family friendly environment and nearly all of the employees are parents themselves. She said the goal is to give kids a safe and fun place to hang out. “There’s nothing else in Payson for the kids to do,” she said. Pirate’s Cove is open Thanksgiving Day and is offering 15 percent off food and 35 percent off golf. Doors open at 11 a.m. For more information, visit Pirate’s Cove Facebook page.

Rimstones Rock Club hosts Gem Show BY

MICHELE NELSON

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

The blue spinning wheel mesmerized little Joe Davidson, son of Rim Country Middle School science teacher Scott Davidson. Father and son had come to examine the rocks, gems, jewelry and educational presentations at the Payson Rimstones Rock Club Gem and Mineral Show on Nov. 15 and 16 at the Mazatzal Casino. The kindergartner watched as tiny specks of gold crept up the grooves only to tumble into a hole in the center. “Where does it go?” he asked the member of the gem and mineral prospecting club. “That’s a good question,” he said, stopping the spinning wheel and pulling off a tiny bucket. Inside, little gold flecks and a couple of tiny chunks sat at the bottom of the bucket. Club President Barry Jones would have been delighted to see the exchange. “We were happy with the way it had gone,” said Jones. “We had more children than in 2009.” He said the annual show allows mem-

bers to not only show off and sell rocks, minerals, gems and jewelry, but gives them a chance to educate. In fact, Jones said about 900 people attended, up from the dismal years of 2011-12. “The recession hit us hard,” he said. Now, Jones said the club could fund more of the scholarships it grants each year to high school students going into the sciences, gem and mineral education for third- and seventh-graders, monthly speakers, and field trips. Jones said the members put on the show. “We have about 99 members currently,” he said. “Out of that, we had about 40 people participate putting on the show.” Little Joe certainly enjoyed the chance to see all of the exhibits. After seeing the gold, he darted off to check out geodes and crystals lit up with lights. His father could hardly keep up. The Payson Rimstones Rock Club meets the second Wednesday of each month at 3:30 p.m. in the Payson Library. For more information, please contact Barry Jones at (928) 476-3513 or email him at barrythebearjones@gmail.com.

PHS culinary students meet cooking pros Appetizer a hit at Phoenix’s Harvest Moon fundraiser BY

DEVON WELLS

PHS CULINARY EDUCATOR

Payson High School Culinary Arts students recently participated in a special fundraiser for the C-CAP (Careers Thorough Culinary Arts Program) organization that proved to be an evening of meeting the pros. Students served Arizona Cardinals football player Larry Fitzgerald, celebri-

ty chef Beau MacMillan and Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton. It all started in September when the CCAP Arizona coordinator was looking for five schools to prepare appetizers for the upcoming Harvest Moon fundraiser. PHS offered to be one of the schools and students were assigned a mentor chef. Local chef Justin Richardson volunteered and helped the students prepare an appetizer that went with the season and offered some locally grown products. Chef Justin worked with the students to narrow down the three appetizer ideas they had. They decided on a Sweet Potato Tart with bacon/prickly pear jam sauce, candied pecans, topped with a toasted prickly pear homemade marshmallow.

After four separate practice sessions, they mastered the exact combination of flavors and textures. Justin has such knowledge of techniques and flavors that the PHS appetizer received many compliments that evening. The event took place outdoors at Phoenix Renews — a dedicated community garden that President Bill Clinton and daughter Chelsea helped to promote. There was no running drinking water, so all of the food preparation was transported from schools as far away as Payson and Flagstaff. The evening was selected because of the Harvest Moon that shined brightly. Food Network star, Chef Beau MacMillan was the emcee of the evening and Larry Fitzgerald was awarded an honorary C-

CAP membership for his support of the organization. Fitzgerald’s current personal chef is a C-CAP alumnus who attended Scottsdale Community College with his scholarship. Many food sponsors provided the food items for the evening. Payson High used flour from Hayden Flour Mills, sweet potatoes organically grown from National Cancer Treatment Center garden, pecans from the Barkley family of Gisela, butter and whipping cream from the Dairy Council, not to mention prickly pear jam from Jam It/Carol’s Kitchen. The hardest part was remaking the tart shells since the Hayden flour was too course, so at the last minute we had to switch to regular flour. The 18 advanced culinary arts stu-

dents met the challenge and five participated in the evening. Senior Star Oldeschulte even got to serve the Phoenix mayor his dessert. The C-CAP organization is a national nonprofit organization founded in 1990 by well-known culinary educator and author, Richard Grausman. C-CAP has awarded students over $43 million in scholarships and donated $3.2 million worth of supplies and equipment to classrooms. C-CAP operates programs in New York; Los Angeles; Chicago; Philadelphia; Hampton Roads, Va; Washington, D.C.; and statewide in Arizona. Since 1996, Payson High culinary arts students have earned $201,000 to be used toward their culinary post-secondary education.

Plea deal ends case of medical marijuana sales to patients without cards From page 1A cluded undercover stings where officers reportedly bought medical marijuana from the clinics, although neither was a licensed dispensary. On Feb. 4, a confidential informant bought $150 or 10 grams worth of marijuana from Nature’s Harvest in Pinetop although they did not have their medical marijuana card with them at the time. Staff told the buyer it was fine because they had their card on file, according to a presentencing report. According to the Arizona Department of Health Services, medical marijuana patients must present their registry identi-

fication card at dispensaries every time they make a purchase. Dispensaries must check the validity of the card and the buyer’s identification. Golliglee pleaded guilty to selling marijuana to someone without a card. Several other charges were dismissed. Stacey Johanna Palace and Dr. Robert Gear are codefendant’s in the case. The case against Palace, who was charged with selling marijuana, is still ongoing, according to Carlyon. Gear, who reportedly certified patients for medical marijuana cards at the center, was charged with fraud and forgery. The case against him was dismissed in November 2013. The State of Arizona

appealed the court’s ruling and is waiting on a decision, Carlyon said. Golliglee’s two-year probation stint started in June 2014. As a term of probation, Golliglee cannot buy, possess, use or grow marijuana even if she has a medical marijuana card. She must also complete 50 hours of community service. Golliglee did not include a statement in the pre-sentencing report, but she told a probation officer she started using marijuana at age 47 after she was in a car accident that broke her neck in seven places and left her temporarily paralyzed. She said she used marijuana for pain management. This was Golliglee’s first arrest and conviction.

Election turnout much higher in conservative North County precincts From page 1A dominated by Republicans and retirees compared to South County precincts that included Indian reservations or lowincome areas with many Hispanic residents. The difference in turnout helps explain why the modest Republican advantage in countywide voter registration yielded a huge Republican advantage at the polls. Statewide, only about 39 percent of eligible voters cast a ballot. Since roughly half of eligible voters never registered at all, something like 15 percent of the total number of voting-age citizens decided most of the winners. The precincts with the highest voter turnout numbers were all located in Northern Gila County. That included 51 percent in Payson Precinct #3, 56 percent in Pine/Strawberry East, 51 percent in Tonto Basin, 53 percent in Pine/Strawberry West and 59 percent in Whispering Pines and 55 percent in Roosevelt. Most of the rest of the North County precincts had turnouts in the 40-48 percent range, including 48 percent in Young. Turnout in the lower-income Payson precincts barely exceeded 40 percent. By contrast, none of the South County precincts topped 40 percent turnout and many came in much lower. The precincts that included many Apache Reservation voters fared the worst, with turnouts of 16-18 percent.

Turnout in the Globe and Miami precincts ranged from 3137 percent. Turnout in the Claypool precincts mostly ranged from 26 to 32 percent – although one precinct hit 38 percent – among the highest in South County. The much higher turnout among North County precincts generally boosted Republican candidates. The Republican candidates that swept the state generally did 5-10 percentage points better in Gila County than statewide. The Republican turnout advantage also had a pronounced effect on several more local races. For instance, newly elected state Sen. Sylvia Allen racked up 67 percent of the vote in Gila County, compared to just 33 percent for independent Tom O’Halleran, himself a former Republican state senator from Sedona. The overall numbers were close, but Allen’s lopsided dominance in the rural eastern reaches of the huge District 6 pulled her through. The two Republican state house winners for District 6 also drew much stronger support in Gila County than elsewhere in the district, receiving about 41 percent of the vote and burying Democrat Lanny Morrison. The turnout difference showed clearly, since – whose 19 percent tally in Gila County was actually a much smaller percentage than the Democratic registration numbers. That either means fewer Democrats voted, or many Democrats voted for

Republicans. The only place Republicans didn’t romp through North County came in the curious case of the Payson School District elections. In that case, Republican Darlene Younker lost to Democrats Sheila Deschaaf and Angie Prock by a narrow margin. Out of 11,000 votes cast, Prock got 36 percent, Deschaaf

got 32 percent and Younker got 31. The results could have reflected the lopsided 60 percent margin for the Payson School Budget override, which Prock and Deschaaf supported enthusiastically and Younker in the end supported only grudgingly. Younker won two precincts – heavily Republican Whispering Pines and Payson Precinct 2.

Prock proved the top vote getter in every other precinct. But DeSchaaf came in second in most of the precincts Prock won, enabling her to slip past Younker. Interestingly enough, although Payson school district voters proved willing to support Democrats for the school board, every single North County precinct went for Republican

Diane Douglas over Democrat David Garcia when it came to the state superintendent of education race. Douglas won statewide by 1-2 percent of the vote, but by an 11 percent margin in Gila County. Douglas piled up nearly two-to-one margins in many Northern Gila County precincts, even in precincts where voters made Prock the top vote-getter.

The Nature Conservancy funded the research published in October in the online journal PLOS One. Study authors included NAU researchers Marcos Robles, Robert Marshall, Frances O’Donnell, Edward Sith, Jeanmarie Haney and David Gon. The researchers compiled the results of numerous studies over the past 30 years to develop and test a computer model used to predict the effect of applying a 4-FRI-style thinning plan to the watersheds of the Salt and Verde River. Key studies included measurements of the impact of thinning projects on runoff on the Beaver Creek Watershed. The study noted that approximately 20 percent of the forests in the Southwest have died off in the course of the current, record drought, in part because of the impact of a 44-fold increase in tree densities across much of the landscape. “Many communities in the western U.S. are facing critical water shortages and river flows in some basins have diminished or been lost altogether due to unsustainable water practices.” The study focused mostly on thinning in ponderosa pine forests, which account for only 20 percent of the Salt and Verde watersheds, but more than half of the total runoff. The researchers applied the basic 4-FRI thinning prescription to the watersheds then

tried to estimate the effects. The thinning projects would presumably reduce the total amount of wood on a given acre by 30 to 100 percent. Much of the increased runoff would improve forest health, reduce the chance of major wildfires and restore streams, springs and other riparian areas. Water diversions and other changes have degraded about 95 percent of the riparian areas in the state. These wet, diverse riparian areas play a crucial role in the annual life cycles of about 90 percent of the wildlife in the state. But the thinning project would also increase the water making it down to the 1.5 million thirsty people in the Valley by 2-3 percent. But since the Salt and Verde rivers carry 1.2 million feet annually, the yield could prove substantial. The study suggests that widespread thinning in the state’s ponderosa pine forest could blunt a rapidly developing water shortage, while significantly reducing wildfires. Much of the state’s water planning and infrastructure was developed in the early 20th Century, which proved one of the wettest periods in 1,000 years. The current 20-year drought turns out to be more commonplace than the wet years of the early 20th Century. During that rare wet period, seven states struck agreements dividing up the flow of the Colorado River. That massive miscalculation has been exacerbated by recent warming trends,

linked to pollutants that have dramatically increased the concentrations of heat-trapping gases like methane and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The researchers noted that between 1988 and 2012 average temperatures in Arizona rose between 3.5 and 2 degrees Fahrenheit. The snowpack in recent decades has already dropped by an average of about 20 percent. These trends coupled with the dramatic increase in tree densities could largely account for the alarming increase in the size and intensity of wildfires, the researchers concluded. “Our studies demonstrate that mechanical thinning can reduce the vulnerability of forests to uncharacteristic crown fires… thinning… could have reduced the average size of wildfires in ponderosa pine and mixed conifer forests by 18 percent.” The study simply underscored the stakes involved in getting the stalled 4-FRI project going again. The Forest Service awarded a contract to thin 300,000 acres in a 10-year period three years ago to a private contractor. But the private contractor ultimately said he had no financing to build the mills necessary to process the millions of logs and tons of brush and saplings. The Forest Service more than a year ago shifted the contractor to Good Earth, but that Oman-based company has also so far not built mills or thinned more than a handful of acres.

Newly seated Councilor Andy McKinney nominated Binney and then Barbara Hartwell, Gary Coons and Paty Henderson all nominated themselves for the job. Coons then withdrew his

The Star Valley Town Council reactivated a dormant commit-

tee to move forward with plans for “Welcome” signs at both the east and west ends of the community. The matter has been on the back burner for quite awhile, but town manager Tim Grier told the council he has the application to the Arizona Department of Transportation about half completed and needs more information before it can be finished and submitted. He said the application needs a design proposal for the signs

and suggested placement. The council agreed that the west sign should be near Highline and the east sign should be in an open area near Lion Springs Road. The reactivated committee – councilors Gary Coons and Barbara Hartwell, along with citizen member Ray Lyons – will revisit the design issue with Ironhorse Signs and bring back up to three recommendations in order to move the application process forward.

A woman complaining of altitude sickness was rescued from Tonto Natural Bridge State Park Wednesday afternoon after she fell and couldn’t get up. The middle aged woman from the Los Angeles area was hiking with two friends around 2:40 p.m. below the bridge in the creek area, said Pine-Strawberry Fire Chief

Gary Morris. The woman had a history of fainting at higher altitudes and reportedly passed out, injuring her elbow. The woman didn’t feel well enough to walk out so firefighters and Tonto Rim Search and Rescue were called in to haul her back to the trailhead. Crews initially heard three people needed rescuing, but later determined it was just the one woman. They loaded her on a metal

litter with a large wheel and carried her out. “At that altitude, it is odd to report altitude sickness, but it happened,” Morris said. The Tonto Natural Bridge sits at roughly 5,000 feet. Altitude sickness is normally reported in people not used to higher altitudes at 8,000 feet or higher, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Once crews got the woman to the parking lot, she refused further medical treatment.

Ducey to make $300 million settlement top goal BY

ANASTASIA REYNOLDS

CRONKITE NEWS SERVICE

Doug Ducey said Monday the budget will quickly become his top priority when he takes office as governor, including what to do about a lawsuit that’s left the state owing more than $300 million to schools. That includes being open to reaching a settlement in the school-funding suit, he said. “I’d certainly rather be paying teachers than be paying lawyers,” Ducey said after volunteering at the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. “So I would like to settle the lawsuit, but the election is over now so we’re looking at the budget and making that a top priority.” After serving meals to dozens of homeless people, Ducey said he and his team will form a budget study committee before he takes office. “I want to see a budget that’s structurally sound,” he said. “The specifics of that are going to be talked about in our inaugural address.” A lingering question is what will become of a lawsuit that prompted the Arizona

Supreme Court to rule that state leaders failed to follow a voter-approved law requiring annual inflation adjustments to base school funding. A Superior Court judge later said the state owes a first payment of more than $300 million, but Gov. Jan Brewer has said she plans to appeal that. Throughout Ducey’s campaign, he said he agrees Brewer but wouldn’t rule out a settlement. The lawsuit stems from Proposition 301, which in 2000 created an extra 0.6 percent sales tax earmarked for education. It also required the Legislature to increase the base level school funding with inflation, something lawmakers stopped doing in 2010. The state Supreme Court ordered the base-level funding reset to the level it should be at had it been adjusted every year. In all, the state could wind up paying nearly $1.6 billion. That uncertainty adds to forecasts of bleak state finances and tough choices facing the next governor and lawmakers. Ducey said he’s putting together a transition team that will help him with the budget

and other decisions, like what may happen with President Barack Obama possibly using an executive order on immigration reform. He said Obama should demonstrate leadership on immigration by working with the incoming Congress, in which Republicans have majorities in both houses. “I would call on the president to demonstrate leadership first by securing our borders and work with elected leaders on a step-by-step process for proper immigration reform.” Asked what he wants in terms of immigration reform, Ducey said, “We are a nation of immigrants, but we’re also a nation of laws.” Ducey talked with reporters after working at the Society of St. Vincent de Paul to promote Serving Arizona, a campaign in which he’s encouraging Arizonans to volunteer. “We want to highlight those who we can help,” Ducey said. “I really believe there’s so many of us that can do more and that everyone can be a part of this, whether it’s providing food or clothing or a few extra dollars.”

Gila County will continue to have the Bose Public Affairs Group represent its interests in Washington, D.C. The lobbying group has worked for Gila County since 2006 and brought nearly $25 million in federal money to a variety of projects benefitting residents. It has worked for $78,000 a year, but now the supervisors only will pay $50,000 a year. District 1 Supervisor Tommie Martin, who has worked most closely with the lobbying group, said the change means the county will be paying more money for fewer hours of work. She has made more than one plea with her fellow supervisors to continue with the $78,000 contract, but when it became clear Nov. 18 they were not going to be swayed, she told the Roundup she wasn’t going to fight it. “At least it’s not $30,000, which is what they were first talking about,” she said. However, before the supervisors voted on the contract, Martin pointed out that for every dollar the county has spent with Bose, it has brought $40 back. “That is actual dollars on the ground,” she said.

Martin said the $78,000 per year contract broke down — on paper — to 185 hours of work by the lobbying group. “But only once in the years they have worked for us have they only provided 185 hours of work. Last year it was 344 hours,” she said. “That is like having a single employee, making $45,000 a year and benefits, totally devoted to dealing with federal issues for the county,” she said. The county doesn’t have a person with the expertise or time to devote to these matters. The new contract will limit the group’s focus to just forest health and transportation infrastructure issues, Martin contends. With the old contract, the firm took on anything the county brought to the table even though initially the issues were just to be forest health, transportation infrastructure and the Tonto Creek Bridge and later, Resolution Copper’s land exchange struggle. Martin shared the following list of work Bose did for the county outside the “scope of work” originally planned: • Arizona Rural Caucus formation and meetings; • Job Corps funding; • Scope of NEPA application; • East Globe sewer funding; • Cragin Dam and Reservoir project; • TIGER (Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery) grant application for Tonto Creek Bridge; • Jail expansion/funding; • PILT/SRS (Payments in Lieu of Taxes and

Martin said much of the effort Bose has made on behalf of Gila County has benefitted District 1 — Payson, Pine, Strawberry and the surrounding area. “But 70 percent of the county’s revenue comes from the property owners in the Payson and Pine School Districts,” she said, likening Northern Gila County to the goose laying golden eggs. “We have to take care of that goose if we want to keep getting those golden eggs,” she said. The competition for federal money to thin forests and improve rural transportation infrastructure is getting fiercer all the time, Martin said. That makes efforts to keep Gila County ahead of the game all the more important.

Trees must be cut within designated cutting areas; Trees may be cut until Dec. 24; Trees must be under 10 feet tall; and No refunds on Christmas tree permits. Tree cutters are reminded to be prepared for sudden weather changes and colder conditions when in higher elevations. A fun family outing can become miserable and even dangerous with a quick change of weather for the unprepared. The permits expire on Dec. 25, however, forest officials recommend cutting your tree early in the season before the higher elevations are snowbound. Trees can stay fresh for quite some time if cared for correctly. To help keep your tree fresh, cut two inches from the bottom of your tree when you get home and place it in water. Keep your tree watered and in a shady spot until you are ready to move it into the house. Another helpful hint is to bring an old tarp to wrap your tree in. Then when you drag your tree out of the forest, the tarp protects the tree and helps you avoid breaking branches. The tarp can also help avoid wind damage on the way home.

Big spirit lines up small town team for state date PHS one of few rural schools to qualify

KEITH MORRIS

ROUNDUP SPORTS EDITOR

Small town schools like Payson find themselves at a big disadvantage when it comes to state cheer competitions because prep schools from the Valley dominate Division 3, which consists of schools with the fewest students.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We watch Northwest Christian knowing every year theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to place first,â&#x20AC;? Klein said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a ton of tumbling passes, which visually just increases the excitement in their routine. So we go in knowing Northwest Christian is getting first and so does every other team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not to say we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ever want to strive to get to be as good as we can, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got such good girls and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got so much heart, talent, ability and athleticism, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re shooting for the top five at state.â&#x20AC;? A year ago, PHS qualified for the state championships in one event. So Klein is thrilled her girls performed well enough to return to the state competition in two events this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes us really proud of the girls,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The girls did a fantastic job.â&#x20AC;? Payson qualified in both show cheer and all-girl poms. The Horns also made a strong bid to advance in stunts, as well, but a 10-point technical deduction bumped them from No. 9 to 14 in the standings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the spottersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hands touched the sole of one of the fliersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; shoes,â&#x20AC;? Klein said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One little thing can make the difference.â&#x20AC;? The coach loves that the pom squad advanced in its first year of existence. And their seventhplace finish in the qualifier wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t far from being much higher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was kind of exciting, we were only nine points away from third place, so it was a really tight point spread, it was really close,â&#x20AC;? Klein said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the teams were really good.â&#x20AC;? She said the girls simply entered the event hoping to be competitive and they were. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a lot of expectations, not really knowing what to expect,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They give you three basic pieces of criteria that you need to put in your rou-

The PHS varsity cheer team members include: (front row, from left) Loren Peters, Aimee Armstead, Brittany Staub, Jessica Reiter, Jesse Lee, Shayla Shannon and Sheyenne Fowler; (back row, from left) Ashley Cleary, Emily Hoffman, Maezzyn Patterson, Rebecca Osier, Zoe Wright, McKenna Cave, Grace Golembewski and Chelsea Cobb. tine, and the rest is really up to you to put together a solid routine. We just went in wanting to do our best,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to come in last, we wanted to finish somewhere in the middle.â&#x20AC;? Only nine schools entered the poms, so all advanced, but Klein was proud that her girls really pushed the four teams ahead of them, finishing within nine points of third place. PHS finished 16 points in front of the eighth-place squad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact that we were within nine points of third place was exciting,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Third through seventh were all really close point-wise, so it was nice to be in that group of teams.â&#x20AC;? As disappointed as the girls were to come up short of qualifying in stunts, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll learn from their mistake and move on.

Located in Phoenix and surrounding suburbs, those prep teams field squads featuring girls whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been competing in either gymnastics or dance or both since a very young age. The opportunities just arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the same in a town like Payson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going up against teams that have girls that have been in gymnastics since they were really young, so their abilities are a lot different than ours,â&#x20AC;? said Payson High cheer coach Katie Klein. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Girls down there have dance studios and gymnastics facilities at their disposal because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re everywhere.â&#x20AC;? Seven of the 17 schools participating in Division 3 spiritline are prep schools, and six of them placed among the top 10 schools at the state qualifier held Nov. 8 at Goodyear Estrella Foothills to advance to the Arizona Interscholastic Association Spiritline Championships at 8 a.m. on Jan. 24 at the Prescott Valley Event Center, formerly known as Timâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Toyota Center. Payson is one of the four public schools to qualify. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty exciting for us to be a small town school among the top 10 because the majority of them are prep schools,â&#x20AC;? Klein said. Phoenix Northwest Christian represents the gold standard in Division 3 spiritline competition. The Crusaders are the defending state champions in show cheer and stunts and placed second in poms a year ago. They look poised for another strong state event after winning the show cheer qualifier.

You’re wondering why I asked the question in the title, right? It seems silly. The first Ford rolled off the assembly line in 1903, the first Chevy in 1911, and an unbroken line of them have followed every year since. Well, not quite ... During World War II we had to put up with rationing — and a lot of things were rationed between 1941 and 1945. The last runs of Fords and Chevys that came off the lines — the ’42 models — were made in 1941. That was that — until 1945. The same thing was true of radios, phonographs, refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, washing machines and sewing machines. Used ones? Fine. New ones? No! Rationing didn’t really worry the folks in our New York neighborhood at first because we were still in the Depression. The only thing the OPA, or Office of Price Administration, did at first was warn us they were going to ration gasoline, bicycles, YOUR TURN shoes, silk, nylon, fuel oil, coal, stoves, meat, lard, shortening and oils, canned milk, cheese, margarine, butter, and canned and bottled foods. Then came a contest between Mom and the OPA. “No problem,” Mom said. “If Tom Garrett we can’t get butter, we’ll eat jam and jelly.” Naturally, the OPA said it was going to ration jam and jelly. When she bought some ripe grapes to make grape jelly, I’m hanged if they didn’t make sugar the very first thing they actually rationed. I was beginning to think the OPA had the house bugged. It’s a good thing we moved to New London where we could plant a garden. All it took was me, a shovel, some seeds or seedlings, some work, some water — which the OPA couldn’t ration — and we soon had a garden full of goodies. Then the government came out with the phrase “Victory Gardens” and suddenly we weren’t just people doing what comes naturally, we were patriots. I still think the OPA had the house bugged. Pop, it happens, had taken a job in New London running a gas station, so he had to put up with handling all those gas ration coupons. Most people, including us, had an “A” sticker on their windshields. That entitled us to just 3 to 4 gallons of gasoline each week. And tires? Forget it! It took an act of Congress to get a new tire. Pop, being as honest as the day is long, never abused his position at the station, or let his friends have one extra drop of gas. His comment was, “Looking for a crook? Wrong gas station!” I was very proud of Pop, Johnny — he was the best stepfather a kid ever had. Pop did have one thing to say about rationing though. The OPA slapped a 35 mph speed limit on everyone “to save fuel and rubber.” Pop was a mechanic; he called it “just plain dumb.” He said it was set at least 10 miles an hour too slow and would actually use more gasoline. Auto factories began turning out Jeeps, tanks, and other military vehicles. Some of them even began making things you would never expect to see coming out the front door of an automaker. During my first hitch in the Air Force at the time of the Korean War, I saw WWII carbines that had been made by some unlikely companies, like General Motors, IBM, Underwood, and — of all places! — Rock-Ola, the jukebox maker! I think the only thing that ever personally bugged me about wartime rationing was the time Mom sent me down to the corner store to buy a tube of toothpaste and the clerk told me I couldn’t buy one unless I had an old tube to turn in. Well, nobody had told US about it! If you don’t know about it, and you throw the old tubes out, how in the world are you going to buy new ones? I don’t know how Mom solved that one. But the thing I remember best? After the war ended we began importing rubber from South America again. Our local paper made a big thing out of the fact that the very first boatload of rubber from South America was coming to New London. When it arrived Frankie pointed out the window at the river far down below and said, “Hey! There’s the rubber boat.” Mom looked out and said, “Gee! I wonder how they made it.” And no, she never lived it down, God bless her.

AIRPORT PARKING TOP REASONS OUR CLIENTS PREFER OUR FACILITY OVER THE AIRPORT’S:

Canyon search and rescue is the source of his adventures, which are soon to be published. Not only will there be tales of harrowing rescues, but there will also be some stories about the bodies of some of those who perished in the canyon. One such discovery was the skeleton of an ancient one found high on a ledge under an opening following a two-day hike. But we must quit there lest we give away one of the best chapters in the book. The new author is retired from Honeywell and spends much of his time lately here in the Creek, just being married to Rosemary and a sonin-law to Mimi. Oh, and Dave Elston finds time to do a presentation at a wine tasting. An announcement will be made here when the book comes available and we can all find out just how old the ancient one really was ... and that’s another week in the Creek.

Here’s to ‘turkey brain’ time Looking for a little exercise this weekend? Then join your neighbors and come on down to Green Valley Park this Saturday morning, Nov. 22, for the annual Turkey Trot 5K (3.1 miles) Fun Run. The run (or walk the course if you like) is open to all ages and will take you from the park, then down scenic Country Club Drive to the water treatment plant and back again up the rolling terrain. Registration begins at 8 a.m, with the race scheduled to start at 9 a.m. When I first moved to Payson in the fall of 2002, one of the first community events I participated in was that year’s Turkey Trot, finishing in a respectable (for my age) 23 minutes. Last year I photographed the runners near the finish line, as they trudged their way through the heavy, wet falling snow. This year, we’ll be providing the music from the shelter of the park’s main ramada. I must be slowing down. “Last year we had 110 runners participate, and almost all were from the Payson area, said Kaprice Bachtell, special events coordinator. “With seasonable temperatures and dry weather expected, we’re hoping for another nice group of runners this Saturday.” Back to defend his first-place finish in last year’s unseasonably cold and snowy Turkey Trot will be Gerardo Moceri, now a Payson High School junior and stalwart mid-fielder on this year’s Longhorn soccer team that made it to the semi-finals of the recently completed state tournament. Look for him to again lead the pack. Medals will be handed out to the first three places in all age divisions. And what will the first place finishers in both the male and female divisions receive for their efforts? A frozen turkey, of course. This week’s question

Can you name the folk-rock singer-songwriter-guitarist-harmonica player whose banjo-driven song “Turkey Chaser” appeared on his 1973 album “Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid”? DJ’S MUSIC This artist’s influence on TRIVIA popular music is incalculable. As a songwriter, he pioneered several different schools of pop songwriting, from confessional singersongwriting to winding, hallucinatory, stream-of-consciousness narratives. As a vocalist, he broke DJ Craig down the notion that a singer must have a conventionally good voice in order to perform, thereby redefining the vocalist’s role in popular music. As a musician, he sparked several genres of pop music, including electrified folk-rock and country-rock. And that just touches on the tip of his achievements. This artist’s force was evident during his height of his popularity in the 1960s. The shift toward introspective songwriting in the mid’60s never would have happened without him. His influence echoed throughout several subsequent generations, as many of the songs he wrote became popular standards and his best albums became undisputed classics of the rock

Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD;

let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.

Expect Gerardo Moceri (center), now a Payson High School junior, to return for the 2014 Turkey Trot 5K this weekend to defend his first-place finish from last year’s unseasonably cold and snowy event. However, expect the weather to be much milder — a high of 57 is forecast, with mostly sunny skies. ’n’ roll canon. His influence throughout folk music was equally powerful. Over the course of his long music career, this artist charted 29 hits, with four of them reaching the Top-10, all in the late 1960s — “Positively 4th Street,” “Rainy Day Women #12 & 35,” “Lay Lady Lay” and his Rock & Roll and Grammy Hall of Fame hit “Like a Rolling Stone.” Is this “Turkey Chaser” singer A) Bob Marley, B) Arlo Guthrie, C) Pete Seeger, or D) Bob Dylan? This week, if you’re the fourth caller and have the correct answer, you’ll win a CD of your favorite artist or genre of music. Good luck. Last week’s question

Last week’s trivia question asked if you could match the following “dog” songs: A) “Who Let the Dogs Out,” B) “Walking the Dog,” and C) “Hound Dog Man” with these artists 1) Rufus Thomas, 2) Fabian, and 3) The Baha Men. “Who Let the Dogs Out” was a Top-40 and Grammy dance record 2000 hit for the Bahamas dance band The Baha Men. “Walking the Dog” was also a Grammy Hall of Fame hit, recorded by R&B singer-songwriter Rufus Thomas in the fall of 1963. Thomas placed three other “dog” songs on the

charts in 1963 and 1964 — “The Dog,” “Can Your Monkey do the Dog” and “Somebody Stole My Dog.” “Hound Dog Man” was a 1959 Top-10 hit for 16-year-old rock ’n’ roll teen-idol Fabiano “Fabian” Forte. His other top hits were also recorded that same year, “Turn Me Loose” and “Tiger.” Congratulations to last week’s trivia winner, Deloris White.

Sounds of the changing seasons a real delight Brrr! The temperature has dropped to a bone-chilling 29 degrees early in the morning in the Village. The wind has picked up enough that the rest of the leaves have fallen from the trees leaving a cover on the ground of gold and brown and sometimes crimson. I love the rustling noise as you walk. A reminder from the Hellsgate Fire Department: There will be no burn permits issued over the Thanksgiving weekend. Our part-time residents will most likely be at their summer homes for the holidays and will want to rake up pine needles and leaves. THE My advice is to bag all the VILLAGE brush in a yard-size container and leave it for another time.

Congratulations to you, Mark. The fireboard awarded firefighter Bob Evanson a promotion to captain. Congratulations, Bob. The office at the Star Valley station will be closed for the Thanksgiving holiday on Wednesday, Nov. 26 and Thursday, Nov. 27. Thanksgiving Day

The Double D Restaurant will be hosting its annual Thanksgiving potluck dinner from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 27. Turkey will be provided, along with many side dishes. Feel free to bring your favorite dish to share. Birthdays

Have you noticed the speed sign at the beginning of Johnson Boulevard? It is Janet very interesting to see just Snyder how fast the car is going. The posted speed is 25 miles an hour and in most cases the speed limit is ignored. There are many children in the Village who ride their bikes and walk along the road, and there is a school in our Village that brings a lot more kids to walk along the street. Slow down people! It would be a tragedy for a child to be struck by a speeding vehicle.

Belated birthday greetings to Payson Mayor Kenny Evans. Mayor Kenny celebrated his big day Nov. 17. Two of my granddaughters share the same birthday Nov. 18. Ashley Peterson from Des Moines, Iowa and Gatlyn Snyder of Yuma, Ariz. each added another candle to their birthday cakes. Our niece Chantelle Henrickson of Berwick Pa., also celebrated her big day on Nov. 18. A great big HAPPY Birthday to all of you! On Wednesday, Nov. 19, Tonto Village III resident Maurine Kirchhoefer added another candle to her chocolate birthday cake and the Domino Divas helped her eat that cake. On Friday, Nov. 21, Jimmy “Rabbit” Stephenson of Mead Ranch will add another year. Have a great day, Jimmy.

Sweeten your days

The November fire board meeting was held on Wednesday, Nov. 12 at the Star Valley station. The board accepted the retirement notice of Charles Conover, effective Nov. 30. Charlie — as he’s known to everyone — has served on the fire board for 10 years. Congratulations to you. It’s time to live life according to your own schedule; savor every minute of it! Mark Renzo of Star Valley was accepted as the new board member by the fire board.

The holidays are right around the corner and will be here in the blink of an eye. There will be many desserts to make for the family and guests so here is a quickie solution to make something a bit special. Joanne Snyder Harper (my oldest daughter), contributed this recipe for the Hellsgate Fireflies cookbook, “Fireflies Can Cook.”

Avoid these Thanksgiving dangers to your pets BY

CHANDRA CUSHMAN

HUMANE SOCIETY OF CENTRAL ARIZONA

Thanksgiving is an eventful holiday for many people. From all the delicious food you make and eat, to spending time with family and showing your thanks for all the blessing in your life, this is one of the busier holidays we celebrate. The aromas of Thanksgiving dinner and all the Humane extra people in Society of Central the house make Arizona things lively and stimulating for ADOPTION everyone, includ- OPTIONS ing your pets. This is why it’s important to follow some basic safety tips during the Thanksgiving holiday. One of the greatest dangers for our pets on Thanksgiving is the food which is the center of our day. Many of the food items we eat can be toxic to dogs and cats. The following foods should not be shared with pets: • Raisins in the stuffing can cause kidney failure in dogs. • Alcohol is toxic, so a spilled glass of wine can be very dangerous.

AUTO DETAILING

Mobile Auto Detailing

• Leftover turkey can be dangerous if it contains bits of bone, which can splinter and get lodged in their throats. • Other foods that can be toxic are grapes, onions, chocolate, raw bread dough, avocados, and macadamia nuts. As much as we love having family and friends over to spend time with and enjoy that delicious meal, having company can pose risks for our pets. People who are not familiar with your pets, both children and adults, can impose unintentional dangers. • Doors that are left open as guests go in and out can allow your pet to escape unnoticed. • Children who are unaccustomed to handling your pets can cause them harm, or even cause pets to bite or scratch out of fear. • Guests may not be aware how harmful table scraps can be for your pets and not realize the potential danger in sharing their dinner. Holiday planning can be stressful, and our pets can become stressed just like us. If the house is full of guests, adding to the hustle and bustle of the day, pets can become frightened or over-stimulated. This often leads to bad behavior which your pet may not normally exhibit.

• Be sure everyone knows the rules. Brief the children with their parents present so everyone understands the importance of being careful around pets. • If you are to not able to gate off an area to keep your pet from escaping through an open door, it might be best to secure them in another room, away from all the action. • We hope that these safety suggestions will help you better prepare yourself and your pets for the upcoming holiday. Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving, from all of us here at HSCAZ, two-legged and four! Adoption Special

Featured pets

Here are just two of the wonderful pets currently available for adoption at the HSCAZ shelter. All pets are already spayed or neutered and current on vaccinations. CHULI

I am a charming fella, who appreciates the company of people. I get thrilled when people are around and give hugs to show them how much I adore the attention! I am no longer a spring chicken and prefer my dog friends to be mature, much like me; I would go for a low-key dog and can be partial to the ladies. I don’t have much training under my collar but I did learn how to sit pretty for a treat. I love food and will be eager to learn. Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks? SAM

Sam is a sweet and gentle guy who loves people. He’s more into the gentle petting than playing. But that’s not to say that the right person can’t come along and change his whole outlook on playtime. He needs a little bit of a confidence boost for him to realize that he is one handsome cat.
