With the holiday shopping season ramping up, local business owners are holding their breath. With fewer Valley visitors in the winter, business owners rely heavily on local shoppers this time of year to make it through another year. But with more people shopping online and at big box stores, some worry how they can compete. Rebecca Acord, owner of Country Charm in the Swiss
Village Shops, said businesses have to find a way to set themselves apart. Acord fills her shop with unique, homemade treasures from 32 local crafters, items you just cannot find anywhere else, including fudge, woodcarvings and jewelry. Next door, at the Payson Candle Factory, the shop has sustained success since 1979 by offering hand carved candles by owner Carol Reed. “When you give a gift that is See Local sales, page 2A

The 4FRI project will ultimately encompass some 2.6 million acres in the Tonto, Coconino, Apache Sitgreaves and Kaibab national forests. The Forest Service has picked Good Earth Power as the contractor, but delays in finishing the EIS and problems getting financing for a network of mills and power plants has stalled the project for the past two years. Ultimately, the project is supposed to thin some 50,000 acres annually for the next decade, converting the wood into energy and things like furniture, particle board, lumber and even jet fuel. The project will not only dramatically reduce the risk of soilSee 4FRI study, page 2A

Assured the Rim Country Educational Alliance has the money to buy a 253-acre Forest Service parcel for a university campus, Payson Mayor Kenny Evans has apparently backed away from a plan for the Rim Country Educational Alliance Foundation to buy the land. Evans wrote an open letter to
the residents of Rim County (see full text of the letter on Page 4) complimenting Alliance chair Steve Drury on apparently convincing the developer to arrange financing for both the $4.1 million purchase price of the land and some $2.2 million in pre-development costs, including a guarantee of up to $540,000 for archaeological work.

praise for its emphasis on saving as many of the large, fire-resistant, old-growth trees as possible. Forest Service spokesperson Holly Krake said, “This is the largest environmental analysis in Forest Service history. Usually, projects are 20,000 or 30,000 acres in size. But this supersizes the scale of restoration – we’re approaching the problem on a watershed scale for the first time in history.” The 4FRI effort represents the best single chance to reduce the number and destructive power of wildfires in Northern Arizona, now often raging out of control to consume 500,000 acres at a time thanks to a 20-year drought and a century of forest mismanagement.

The historic draft of an environmental impact statement (EIS) for perhaps the largest logging project in history has already drawn high marks, even from environmental groups. The EIS for the Four Forest Restoration Initiative (4FRI) covers a million acres of forested land in Northern Arizona, including the bulk of Rim Country. The plan calls for thinning of 431,000 acres and using controlled burns on 586,000 acres to dramatically reduce tree densities, to both reduce wildfire risk and restore forest health. The EIS establishes the goals and sets the ground rules for thinning projects conducted by a private contractor, with the conversion of the small trees and brush into energy and wood products covering the cost of the thinning. The Forest Service team that prepared the EIS tackled perhaps the most contentious issue in the project, how many old growth trees to leave standing. “It’s a strong step in the right direction and we’re encouraged,” said Todd Schulke, co-founder of the Center for Biological Diversity. He said the document stresses the need to retain as many large trees as possible, which once dominated the landscape but have now been overwhelmed by thickets of small trees. “There’s
beefed up language at every turn that says large tree retention is the objective – not just a side note they threw in to keep us happy.” A group of local officials, loggers and environmental groups originally developed the 4FRI approach, founded on the agreement to leave most of the ponderosa pines larger than 16 inches in diameter alone. That meant finding a contractor who could make money on the smaller trees. The Forest Service rejected a strict diameter cap, which caused dismay and criticism among the so-called stakeholders, which included Gila County Supervisor Tommie Martin and the Center for Biological Diversity. However, the long-awaited EIS on the initial 1 million acres drew

A homeless man who reportedly tried to rape a woman in the woods near the Payson First Church of the Nazarene last month will appear in court next week. Russell Allen Wheetman, 56, told police officers he thought the woman wanted to sleep with him and he was going to “get lucky.” The victim — a 90-year-old Payson woman 34 years his senior.
Wheetman, who lives between Flagstaff and Apache Junction, said he was passing through Payson and had spotted the woman walking her dog several times in the area of Tyler Parkway and the Beeline Highway. On Oct. 1, he approached the woman and asked her to follow him into the woods behind the Nazarene church sign where he wanted to “show her something.” The woman told police she doesn’t know why she followed

handmade, it is so much more thoughtful than a gift card could ever be,” Acord said. And shopping locally not only makes you a better gift giver, it sustains vital community services like police, fire, parks and recreation, the library and street maintenance. Local sales tax is the largest revenue source for the town, but is also the most elastic — driven by the spending of residents and visitors, said Hope Cribb, the town’s finance manager. As of October, local sales tax revenue is up more than $100,000 over the same time last year. While promising, the holiday season is a critical time of the year for sales tax revenue. Local First Arizona, which advocates shopping locally, said if every person shifted just 10 percent of his or her annual spending to local

businesses, the local economy would grow rapidly. Case in point, for every $100 spent locally, $73 remains in Payson. Alternatively, for every $100 spend at non-locally owned businesses, only $43 remains in Payson.
And when you shop locally, the money is recirculated repeatedly, creating up to 75 percent more tax revenue for the community and state, according to Local First Arizona. Shopping online with out-of-state companies doesn’t contribute a dime to the local economy. Acord points out not only residents, but businesses owners themselves ought to shop locally. She tries to buy her office supplies locally whenever possible, even if it costs her a few extra dollars because she knows it goes to supporting a local family. “If I am not willingly to support local businesses how can I ask anyone else to,” she said. For her and many local shops, November and December are “pivotal” months with people spending discretionary money on gifts. “It is really tough up here in the winter and the locals are the ones that are going to keep us alive.”

The EIS documented the dire condition of the existing forest, with tree densities average 1,000 trees per acre across huge stretches – perfect conditions for raging wildfires. The largest wildfires in the state’s history have all taken place in the past 15 years. The EIS listed the need for the project, including: — Half of the forest is dominated by trees of the same age, with few large, old ponderosa pines surviving. The fire openings and meadows have been overwhelmed by small trees. — The crowded monoculture of small trees prevents grass and brush from growing, has affected wildlife and dried up springs and streams. — The dense, stands of trees all the same age and size leaves an estimated 74 percent of the forest in an unnatural and unhealthy condition. — The overcrowding has left the forest vulnerable to disease and drought. Some 38 percent of the forest remains prey to crown fires,

which can burn so hot that firefighters can’t stop them, while also sterilizing the soil and often making it impossible for the forest to grow back. — A whopping 72 percent of the project area faces a high risk of mass tree death caused by bark beetles and 34 percent has become heavily infested with potentially treekilling mistletoe. The report identified “alternative C” as the “preferred alternative. Highlights of that plan include: — Would thin 431,000 acres and use prescribed fire on 586,000 acres. — Would stress retention of old-growth trees, but would not set a strict diameter cap. It would, however, incorporate many elements of the original large tree retention strategy developed by the stakeholders. — Would allow cutting of trees up to 18 inches in diameter in 18 Mexican Spotted Owl recovery areas and use controlled burns in 70 spotted owl recovery areas. Schulke gave the EIS high marks – although he said “the Devil’s in the details” in terms of how officials apply the goals on the ground. Traditional timber harvests rely on Forest Service officials marking trees the loggers can cut. The 4FRI approach depends instead on coming up with guidelines to produce a certain kind of forest – dominated by big, widely
the man, but walked with him into the woods where he forced her to the ground and got on top of her. The man began to grab the woman and she shouted repeatedly for him to stop and that she couldn’t have sex. The woman continued to fight and after 10 minutes of struggling, Wheetman gave up and walked away. The woman went to the church and asked for help. The woman told Officer Garth Linkey that Wheetman did not remove any of her or his clothing, but had fondled her. “She advised all the while he was doing this, she had her dog with her, which was connected by a retractable leash in her left hand that she never let go of,” Linkey said. “She stated she was striking Wheetman with her right hand with a closed fist as hard as she could.” When officers went after Wheetman, they
spotted him riding a bicycle in northern Payson. When they tried to stop him, he allegedly pedaled away. Sgt. Donny Garvin eventually cut Wheetman off using his patrol vehicle, ran after him and took him to the ground. When questioned, Wheetman said he had run from police because he thought the pursuit was fun. Earlier that morning, he had bought alcohol from Circle K and drank it out of a 44-ounce soda cup. He was still buzzing from the beer when he spotted the woman. He told officers he thought the woman was consenting to have sex with him because she had walked into the woods with him. When Linkey asked Wheetman how he felt about the whole situation Wheetman said he felt bad. “He stated he felt bad that he did not get what he wanted,” Linkey said in a police report. Wheetman faces charges of sexual abuse, attempted sexual assault and kidnapping. A

spaced trees with meadows, streams and clusters of trees of different ages. The goal is to thin the forest so that fire can return to the system – cleaning and renewing the forest rather than raging through treetops and along a forest floor choked with downed wood and small trees. The experts continue to debate and study the details – like how to adapt the thinning projects to avoid hurting endangered species like the Mexican Spotted Owl and the Northern Goshawk. Both of these birds nest and hunt most effectively in old growth forests where the branches of neighboring trees nearly touch. That means protecting these closedcanopy birds requires areas with greater tree densities. “Clearly, we’re going to need intensive monitoring. But I’m encouraged that at least in the high quality wildlife stands that we’ve got a shot at ending p where we want to be at the end of the day.” He said the EIS makes a good start on developing a good strategy for protecting the remaining old growth trees while restoring forest health. “This has a ban on old tree logging. The bigger debate has to do with the large, young trees” which should be left in sufficient numbers to replace the old growth trees, with lifespans of 400-800 years.

• Nov. 26, 1922: In Egypt’s Valley of the Kings, British archaeologists become the first souls to enter King Tutankhamen’s tomb in more than 3,000 years. Inside was a collection of several thousand priceless objects, including a gold coffin containing the mummy of the teenage king. • Nov. 24, 1932: The FBI crime lab opens in Washington, D.C. The lab was chosen because it had the necessary sink. It was operated out of a single room with one full-time employee who began with a borrowed microscope. • Nov. 25, 1980: Sugar Ray Leonard regains boxing’s welterweight title when his opponent, reigning champ Roberto Duran, waves his arms and walks away from the fight in the eighth round. “No mas, no mas,” Duran told the referee. “No more box.” • Nov. 26, 1983: A Brinks Mat Ltd. vault at London’s Heathrow Airport was robbed by gunmen. The men made off with 6,800 gold bars worth nearly $40 million. Only a fraction of the gold has ever been recovered and only two men were convicted in the heist.
o you like having an adequately staffed police department? Having fire trucks to show up within three minutes of a burning house or heart attack call? Living in a community that has jobs for its residents? Then we hope you’ll do your Christmas shopping right here in Rim Country. Consider what happens when you find a distinctive Christmas gift here, instead of ordering online — or spending $100 driving to the Valley and back. If you spend $100 in a locally owned store, $73 remains here in Rim Country. If you spend that same money here in an out-of-town chain, $43 stays in Rim Country. If you spend it in the Valley, none of it comes home. When you shop locally, you create up to 75 percent more tax revenue for local government. That money subsidizes the police department, the fire department and a host of other public services. Moreover, the local shop owners will most likely turn around and spend that money here. Economists note that this money recirculates over and over. Suppose each of you spent at least 10 percent of your holiday dollars here in Rim Country. Each reader who makes the shift will pump about $88 into local wages and $227 in recirculating dollars. If 375 readers took the pledge — it would create one extra local job. And if you’re wondering what sorts of unique and creative gifts you can find right here in Rim Country, simply browse through the pages of the Roundup this week, where you’ll find ads from local businesses eager to show you the goods and services they have to offer. In the meantime, think about what we’d do without a police department — or paramedics on fire trucks right down the street. Then do your bit to keep our community safe and prosperous: Buy local this Christmas.

The Promised Land fter what seems like 40 years in the wilderness, backers of the quest to build a university campus here in Payson have come finally within sight of the Promised Land. But instead of offering common psalms of thanksgiving, they’ve fallen to arguing. We’ve been alternately baffled and appalled by the dissension that has broken out in the once-unified ranks of the advocates for a university campus here in Payson. The reckless speculation and failure to communicate could snatch foolish defeat from the bloody jaws of victory, if the people entrusted with this dream don’t calm down and step away from the edge of this needless, senseless dispute. Payson Mayor Kenny Evans today took a step away from the edge with his open letter. We hope Rim Country Educational Alliance Chairman Steve Drury will follow suit and back away from the confrontational statements he’s made in recent days. The dispute about the Educational Foundation’s effort to accelerate the purchase of the Forest Service site for the university has triggered a pointless and potentially damaging public argument about strategy. Both sides have handled things badly. Mayor Evans should have fully involved Drury and the rest of the Alliance board in his well-intentioned, but poorly explained effort. The abrupt announcement in a widely circulated press release raised more questions than it answered, prompting Drury to interpret the effort as a takeover. On the other hand, Drury made insulting statements speculating on the motives for the Foundation’s effort, which further complicated the vital effort to build a university in Payson. Hopefully, sober second thoughts will pull everyone back from the brink. The creative effort to involve the Foundation and the Mogollon Health Alliance in the land purchase could have proved a master stroke — gaining title to the land on which everything else depends. The people who supported that effort deserve nothing but praise for acting on behalf of the community — even if the effort spawned confusion in the end. Drury maintains developer DCK will front the money for the land purchase, making the help of the Foundation unnecessary for the moment. We hope that works out as he envisions. But it makes no sense to challenge the motives of people who have spent so much time and treasure on this project. We have wandered all these years in the wilderness and now stand on the jagged hillside overlooking the Promised Land. Let us go down into that glad valley together.

Even during the worst economic downturn in generations, money contributed by the RCEF supporters has kept this project moving forward. We should all be grateful for those who came forward with the needed monetary support. I have experienced heart-wrenching setbacks and challenges along with all of you. But that is no excuse for not communicating my thanks and my appreciation more clearly and more frequently to all involved. I thank you and I wish you the best as you move forward. Recent criticisms have been leveled claiming that as the mayor, I have been doing too much. Stepping back will be hard, but I have heard that complaint and will act accordingly. I sincerely hope the community will step up to keep all of our major initiatives and projects moving forward. I will help when I can. Have a great Thanksgiving and wonderful holiday season.

Good of country far from Gosar agenda EDITOR: Our congressman Paul Gosar could not wait for President Obama’s speech on immigration to be over before lashing out in a degrading diatribe against the president and attacking the dignity of undocumented immigrants. In his latest newsletter Gosar makes vituperative personal attacks on the president’s character, falsely accusing him of being insincere, fanning further illegal immigration, lying, being a racist, promoting lawlessness, and “violating” the Constitution as every president has done over the last 50 years. Gosar falls flat on his face by accusing the president of the very actions that he himself has taken and amplified by his own obstinacy. He ignores that he himself along with a small cadre of other radicals have effectively pushed the president against a wall and actually forced him to take leadership by acting in the face of political defiance by people like Gosar. If Gosar and his political mob had passed an immigration bill that reflects the will of most Americans, the president would not have had to act to correct their mismanagement and persistent refusal to take reasonable action to address the problem. But for people like Gosar, the good of the country is not a priority. Like bullies, their only posture is entrenchment and logjam: our way or the highway. Shame on Gosar. He could at least be honest. But that seems to be beyond his ability. The radical positions he has taken of simply opposing everything as a way to defame and obstruct the president are not behaviors that merit respect. His are behaviors that cause the logjam in Washington assuring that nothing gets done. In that regard he has been highly effective. That’s not what we want from legislators. We want decent politicians to work together to solve problems, not just obfuscate and derail the entire political process.
Why can’t Gosar and his ilk think first about what is best for the country, before they lunge like rabid dogs against those who believe in decency, honor, and maintaining the good character of the American people? Raymond Spatti
What gives with the weather? EDITOR: I just heard on the TV news that the northwest portion of New York State received six feet of snow, followed the next day by two feet of snow. It was reported on TV that this November was the coldest November on record since 1987. Some of you might remember just a few short years ago when the enviro wackos ran around screaming about a global freezing. They appear to be mostly the same wackos as before. Good ol’ Al Gore who promoted the great global warming fraud or a hoax just like Obama’s Obamacare. Ed Welge Editor’s Note: More than 98 percent of climate scientists agree that average global temperatures are rising, probably as a result of the buildup of heattrapping pollutants in the atmosphere, according to surveys published in scientific journals. The rise in average global temperatures can cause a variety of effects, including unusually cold winters in some areas due to changes in atmospheric circulation.
WORTHNOTING There is but one rule of conduct for a man _ to do the right thing. The cost may be dear in money, in friends, in influence, in labor, in a prolonged and painful sacrifice, but the cost not to do right is far more dear: You pay in the integrity of your manhood, in your honor, in strength of character; and, for a timely gain, you barter the infinite. —Archer G.

The energy in the room oozed out of the doors of the Julia Randall Elementary (JRE) gym. The song, “Brave,” blared as 600 second-, third-, fourth- and fifth-grade students sang and danced. Two pulled papermached longhorn mascot heads on and off as they danced in front of the crowd. The students had gathered to celebrate positive behavior at a H.E.R.O. (help everyone, respect others) assembly the day before Thanksgiving week vacation. But not all was a celebration. The assembly served another purpose. “We have a message about labeling,” said Lori Standifird, JRE’s counselor. JRE regularly holds H.E.R.O. assemblies to teach anti-bullying lessons, while recognizing students who have exemplified supportive and positive behavior. At this assembly, Standifird invited the Payson High School (PHS) peer counselors to illustrate the message that labeling people causes long-term pain, suffering and damage. Behind Standifird, the peer counselors stood, some with huge bright pink cardboard signs around their necks with labels from “Gross” to “Teacher’s Pet,” “Fat” to “Troublemaker.” A group of four stepped forward. One girl tagged another. “You’ve got Kelsey germs!” she said. “Eeww! That’s gross!” said another. A third, holding the microphone, stepped forward to ask the girl labeled “Gross” a question. “Can you tell us your name? And how all that made you feel?” “My name is Kelsey,” she said. “Calling me ‘Gross’ makes me feel unwanted and ashamed of myself.” As each student suffered through a barrage of insults, they told the students the negative feelings each felt at being called a name. Then peer counselor Brianna

Training tool for firefighters, EMTs is no dummy BY
TERESA MCQUERREY
ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER
The Mogollon Health Alliance does more than most of us know to improve health care in Rim Country. One its more unique and far-reaching programs provided a training dummy — simulator mannequin — for area firefighters and emergency medical personnel to keep their skills sharp. It can also be used to train the public in the proper cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) techniques. Jess Ballentyne, a flight paramedic with Native Air and a former medic teacher, is very excited about having the tool available in Rim Country. Affectionately known as Maxwell (or MHAXwell, in honor of MHA), the tool made its area debut in May 2013 at the Hellsgate Fire Department. Hellsgate partnered with MHA in purchasing the tool at auction for $6,000 — new it could cost between $30,000 and $60,000 depending on the “accessories” it has. More recently, Maxwell was used for an airway training — teaching emergency responders on inserting breathing tubes. Held Nov. 17, Ballentyne said about 70 firefighters and EMTs attended. She said this type of tool was used first by the military nearly 30 years ago. It has been used more commonly for about the last 15 years. It can be used to test the competency of EMTs for certification. The tool has a timing element that shows how quickly a procedure is completed. That timing then shows the strengths and weaknesses of the individual. Additionally it can be programmed to present different medical scenarios to test a provider’s assessment skills. “That’s huge. It’s one of the best things about the machine and helps us give patients better outcomes,” Ballentyne said. For instance, its “vocal cords” can be made to spasm in the same way a patient’s might. This action can cause a problem when a provider is trying to insert a breathing tube. “It’s a type of training that shows them something they have never seen before,” Ballentyne explained. It’s natural, but when first confronted with it, a novice might give up, thinking it would not be possible to insert the tube, which would then require an incision be made to let the tube do its job. Instead, by seeing it on the machine, they can see they just have to wait and make the insertion when the cords are relaxed. It also shows the opportunity to properly insert a breathing tube has only a small window in this case, she added. However, the tool can also be used to train providers in making an incision for the breathing tube properly. Maxwell can be programmed for the simplest to most complex scenarios. There are “female” versions of the tool that can be programmed to train providers in emergency childbirth. “They can watch videos and read books and hear lectures, but those can’t compare to something simulating the actual body movements of a woman in labor,” Ballentyne said. She said Maxwell is helping all Rim Country agencies work better together too — it’s putting everyone on the same page. “It’s creating a better team and better care for the patient and for one another.” She said she really appreciates MHA getting the training tool for the Rim Country. “It’s a huge, huge asset. It breathes. You can cut it. It helps us build ‘muscle memory’ and that’s invaluable,” Ballantyne said.

The simulator, which can be programmed to provide an assortment of training scenarios cost $6,000 at auction. Purchased new, the tool can cost between $30,000 and $60,000.

It is something none of us want to really think about or plan for, but it is something that is critical to making sure you get the best care for your health. It is a way to pay for very expensive — but very essential when its needed — air ambulance service. Native Air of Air Methods® makes this insurance available to Rim residents by providing access to LifeShield Alliance. The program provides the security of knowing that if there is need to be transported via air ambulance anywhere in the country, the policy-holder has the resources to be transported to the appropriate medical facility no matter who provides the air ambulance service. The company has nation-
wide coverage; no limitation of provider; payment regardless of provider; payment regardless of location in the U.S. The cost is $49.95 per year for an individual and $59.95 annually for a family. It provides a $10,000 benefit for each air evacuation. If you have insurance that includes air ambulance service, the $10,000 can be used to pay any balance you might owe or it may be used for other needs, according to a program presented by Abe McCann with Native Air. The insurance is also available for group purchases. The cost is $44.95 for an individual and $54.95 for a family in a group of 10 to 149 employees, and for a group of 150 to 499 employees the cost is $39.95 for individuals and $49.95 for families.

Beefing up Thanksgiving dinner with some ‘superfoods’ I love Thanksgiving. No pressure to find the perfect present, lots of company and oodles of fabulous food. Sigh ... a foodie’s paradise, except for the empty, fattening calories. Never fear, even a die-hard gourmet can add nutrients to family favorites without sacrificing tradition. Take mashed potatoes for example. Classic mashed potatoes have lots of butter, milk and salt; plus white russet potatoes have less cancer-fighting anthocyanins than a Peruvian purple potato, according to Jo Robinson, author of “Eating on the Wild Side: The Missing Link to Optimum Health.” Not the best combo for folks with diabetes or high blood pressure or those watching calories. Something as simple as choosing a Yukon gold potato over a russet will add carotenoids, a type of antioxidant, to your dish. And if you’d really like to add some nutrients, try the layered mashed potato and mushroom casserole with chard. As for stuffing, avoid gluten and empty calories from bread by making a “stuffing” with wild rice, butternut squash, leeks and corn. Nutrient dense and delicious! I promise, no one will even miss the stuffing. And how about that green bean casserole? Many vote it’s their favorite dish from Thanksgiving, but with more and more people complaining about gluten intolerance, finding an alternative can help make Thanksgiving a pleasure for all. Wellness Mama has a recipe that offers a healthy delicious alternative to the traditional casserole. She also has a sugar free cranberry sauce. Now, when it comes to pumpkin pie ... I decided one traditional sugar- and fat-filled dish to splurge with at the end of meal will leave everyone content — and overstuffed. Layered Mashed Potato & Mushroom Casserole FROM

Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl. Add butter and mash until chunky-smooth. Gradually stir in buttermilk, egg and egg white and 1 teaspoon salt. Set aside. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant and beginning to soften, about 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until they release their liquid and the pan is almost dry, 10 to 12 minutes. Add chard and continue to cook, stirring, until wilted, about 4 minutes. Whisk broth and flour in a small bowl. Add to the pan along with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper and rosemary. Cook, stirring, until the mixture bubbles and thickens, about 1 minute. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. To assemble, spread half of the mashed potatoes in an even layer in a 9-inch-by-13-inch (or similar 3quart) baking dish. Sprinkle half the Parmesan over the potatoes.

Anna Schouten won a turkey as the women’s champion in the Turkey Trot 5K Run.
Schouten wins women’s title Anna Schouten led a strong performance by women in Saturday’s Turkey Trot 5K Run, winning the women’s title and finishing fourth overall in 23:13. Four of the top 10 overall finishers were female. Kayla McGill was 11 seconds behind her, placing fifth in 23:24. S. Scott placed ninth in 24:27 and Sage Pearce 10th in 24.38. Schouten, a Payson High junior, improved on her runnerup finish in the women’s race behind cross country team-
mate Maizy Hall a year ago. Hall was not there to defend her crown this year. Schouten cut 1:14 off her time from last year when she finished in 24:27. Winning wasn’t at the top of her list of priorities because she really just wanted to feel good about the way she was running. However, she knew some of her family members wanted to see her win and she certainly made them happy.
L
Gerardo Moceri stepped to the starting line Saturday morning at Green Valley Park, focused on repeating as the Payson Parks & Rec Turkey Trot 5K Run champion. The Payson High junior knew the second half of the course featured an incline that would require the 17-year-old to leave enough energy in the tank to conquer. A course rookie running in his first Turkey Trot, David Valdez, 30, likes to set the pace. That strategy was working for him as he led the first two and half miles of the 3.1-mile course. “I like to get out the first mile hard and see who’s there,” the Valley resident said. “I saw at the turnaround that Gerardo was maybe like 30 feet behind me and he was looking to attack more, so I was like, ‘alright, it’s going to be a struggle on the uphill.’” Valdez’s friend and former classmate at Scottsdale Community College, Carlos Lopez, is Payson High’s assistant track coach. Lopez, who’s been working with the Moceri and his PHS track teammates, told Valdez about how the end of the course is a bear. “Carlos told me after the turnaround it’s all uphill, and I’m like, ‘ah, it’s not that bad,’” Valdez said. “Then you hit it and it’s like, ‘yep, there’s an incline.’” The race played out just as Moceri planned as he stayed within striking distance of the leader then accelerated by a helpless Valdez, who simply didn’t have enough fuel left to do anything about it. Moceri passed Valdez with about 800 meters remaining and finished in 17:35, 17 seconds ahead of Valdez and nearly two minutes faster than his winning time a year
peratures in the 50s replaced the snow showers and 30-something-degree temps that made last year’s conditions so difficult for the runners. So, the better conditions may have contributed in part to his better time, but it’s the increased training he’s done since last year’s race made the most difference. “The weather’s definitely a lot better,” Moceri said with a laugh. “There’s no snow. But our running coach, Carlos Lopez, put me through a workout last year that helped me make it to state for the mile, and this year he’s doing the same thing, so I’m a lot better this year. I’ve devoted more time to running this year than last.” Although it didn’t result in victory, Valdez wasn’t second-guessing his strategy afterwards. “I like going out and seeing who’s in the pack,” Valdez said. “I like to see who’s got the guts in the end, who’s going to tough it out. And I know, especially with elevation and the little bit of an incline that I was told about, you know, if you wait until the end to see who’s going to kick it, it’s the kicker’s race. I’d rather see who’s been doing the training, who’s been doing the hard work, and Gerardo’s definitely been doing some good work. He’s got Carlos here and he’s coaching him along real well.” Moceri actually is just starting his running training after soccer season. So Lopez said they weren’t worried about his time. “I started working with Gerardo around last December,” Lopez said. “He told me his times and we just got after it. From there we’ve been working every day and working toward his goals. He’s a hard worker. As long as he keeps working hard and gets after it, he’s going to do some special things.

Women runners excel in Payson 5K race From page 8A “I’ve run enough races that I know how a race should feel, and so I kind of set my pace like that, but at the same time my little sister really wanted me to win, and I know it makes my family all happy, so I was like, ‘you know, I can try for that.’”
Schouten recently completed another strong cross country season, qualifying for the state meet for the second straight year. So she’s in good running shape. She’s running more this year than she did the previous year and it’s paying off. “A lot of it is that you just put in more and more work,” she said of
her improvement. “As you get stronger and run more you can put in more work. “My times have all been a lot faster this year than they were last year. I finished the cross country season up pretty good. I went to state and that is always the main goal there.” She’ll taper off in the coming

Real world lessons delight students at Tonto Basin ranch BY
KELLY GRIFFITH
ROUNDUP INTERN
Eager Gila County fourth-graders last week enjoyed the educational events for AG DAZE at H-4 Ranch in Tonto Basin, the fifth year of a program designed to bring “agricultural awareness” to Rim Country kids. Future Farmers of America (FFA) and 4-H kids showed up early to help with set up before the school buses arrived. The day starts off with the Pledge of Allegiance and the process of branding and vaccinating cattle after they’re roped down and tethered. The students get six classroom lessons before coming to the ranch, with AG DAZE T-shirts given to nearly 200 students. After the branding demonstration, students rotate through different stations. Students also brand their initials on a piece of wood to take home. Another station was “Mining for Gold,” there, students panned for gold in a kiddie pool, before heading for the neighboring station to plant flowers. Students loved “Super Loopers” where they practiced roping, not to mention the obstacle course with stick horses in the “Rockin’ Rodeo” or “Farm Fun” with races on tricycle tractors towing little wagons. The “Petting Zoo” also proved popular. Lori Brown, of H-4 Ranch and member of the Tonto Natural Resource Conservation District Board; and Lani Hall, 4-H youth development program coordinator with the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension in Gila County, developed this program five years ago. Both women grew up in the Payson area participating in 4-H and FFA. Brown and Hall believe agriculture plays a vital role in everyday life and wanted to somehow “connect children with nature” to avoid what they call “nature-deficit disorder.” In spring of 2010, Payson Elementary School helped develop a pilot program at the ranch. Since then, every fourth-grade student in the Payson Unified School District, as well as Globe and Miami schools, have partic-
ipated in the program. The Conservation District provided key funding, along with private donors. As the program grew, it incorporated in the six classroom lessons: “Farming and Agriculture” taught by Hall, “Ranching” by Brown, “Cotton” by Lauree Connolly, “Mining” by Jessy Wedell, “Poultry Science” by Johnna Kile and the recently added “Recycling” by Cassie Lyman of Bar L Bar Ranch.

To kick off the holiday fundraising campaign, Payson Regional Medical Center (PRMC) employees awarded the Payson Area Food Drive a check for $3,429. The PRMC employees were represented by Jan Parsons, marketing director and Senior Circle adviser, at left, and Kim Nees, with the PRMC human resources department, center. Accepting the money were, Jim Bridges, co-president of the St. Vincent de Paul Food Bank, second from left; Charles Proudfoot, president of the Payson Area Food Drive, second from right; and Richard Crowe, coordinator for the Community Presbyterian Church (CPC) food bank, at right. The money from the PRMC employees was raised through their contributions of
funds or non-perishable food during a “Jean Friday” campaign. PRMC employees have contributed to every Payson Area Food Drive, but this year’s check is believed to be their biggest donation ever. Proudfoot said the need is not rising as fast as it has been, but it is still expected between 15,000 and 20,000 people will need the services of Payson’s food banks this year. That does not include the area’s residents who are served through the food banks for the Pine-Strawberry area, Christopher Creek and Tonto Basin — though these banks also benefit from the Payson Area Food Drive. To make a donation of funds, send checks to Payson Area Food Drive, P.O. Box 703, Payson, AZ 85547. Contributions to either the CPC of St. Vincent de Paul food banks qualify for the state’s working poor tax credit.

Payson Community Kids and Donors Benefit from Tax Credit Program Under the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit (CTC), taxpayers can donate to certain 501(c) 3 charitable organizations and get a dollar for dollar reduction in their state tax if they itemize. Individuls can make donations to PCK up to $200 for an individual and $400 for a couple and receive this benefit. It’s a great way that allows individuals to direct where 100 percent of their donation goes. PCK donations are eligible for this tax credit because it provides assistance with food, clothing, medical and dental assistance to economically disadvantaged children and their families, thereby making PCK an Arizona qualified 501(c) 3 charity.
Please select PCK as your choice and mail your check to: Payson Community Kids, P.O. Box 1856, Payson, AZ 85547. It is important to know that the AZ Charitable Tax Credit does not compete with the AZ Credit For Kids.

SPECIAL TO THE ROUNDUP
Payson families have hosted dozens of foreign exchange students since the EF Foundation started matching families with overseas teenagers in 2004. As the foundation looks for a fresh generation of host families, we thought people would an enjoy an update on what their students have done in subsequent years. So here’s a summary of some of the students. All the students have expressed their gratitude and appreciation for the many people who helped them make their dreams come true, including host families, teachers, friends and the community. Currently, the program desperately needs host families for the school year 2015/16. The program must line up host families to get the scholarships for the students Payson High School now requires. The program will thus both help the students and the school. For information on hosting, contact EF High School Exchange Year at www.efexchange year.org or 1-800-447-4273. Also you may contact local coordinator Edie Miller, (928) 9514871 or email fralyntam@gmail.com. FELIX FRUEHLING the first EF Foundation foreign exchange student to grace the halls of Payson High School, arrived in July 2004. Marvin and Charlotte Mortensen of Pine opened their homes to him. Felix writes: “After my awesome experience in Arizona, I finished high school and moved to Augsburg to start studying law. Since I also love to travel, I am planning on getting my masters degree (Master of Laws).” Felix hopes to return to Arizona to visit his many friends and his adopted American grandparents, the Mortensens. MARIA KOESSER was hosted by Bill and Elise Pitterle. She returned this year as a bridesmaid for her host sister’s wedding. Maria has finished her studies in Business Administration and is looking forward to becoming a tax consultant. TARU TARNANEN of Finland was hosted by Fran Montgomery of Strawberry and the Pitterle family. Taru has graduated from her basic studies and is now working toward her dream to become a ship’s captain. She has returned many times to visit along with her family. SELKA TROMBRAGEL of Germany was hosted by Jim and Judy Buettner in 2006. She has finished her college studies in Spanish and educational science and is working for a German exchange student agency. TORI BELOHLAWEK, hosted by Don and Juline Curtis in 2007, has graduated with a masters in international business management and is working for SKY TV in Germany. REINHARD GRUBER of Austria was

Evans steps away from land purchase From page 1A Drury said the owners of DCK Global on Friday once again agreed to front the money for the land purchase. The Alliance board had planned to approve a pre-development contract with DCK last week, but postponed action when board members discovered the promise of the $4.1 million to buy the land wasn’t included in the compensation clause of the contract. Drury said he will now get the Alliance board to approve the contract. DCK officials had not as of press time returned phone calls seeking confirmation of the contract offer. In his open letter, Evans said he sought support from the MHA board only to speed up the purchase, for fear the imminent departure of Payson Ranger District Head Ranger Angie Elam would cause fresh problems. Evans’ plan called for MHA to advance money to the Foundation, which has so far collected hundreds of thousands in donations necessary for get the project. The Foundation’s money would come from the Mogollon Health Alliance, to be repaid later. Evans conceded, “I was so focused on trying to make sure the project did not stall, I didn’t consult and communicate broadly enough or sufficiently enough. For that I am sorry.” Evans continued, “I congratulate Chairman Drury and ViceChairman (Mary) Kastner on securing funding and predevelopment money needed to move the project forward. This is a major accomplishment. At the same
time, I thank all the good folks who have had the faith to contribute hundreds of thousands of dollars to make this dream come true. I have experienced gutwrenching setbacks and challenges along with all of you. But that is no excuse for not communicating my thanks and my appreciation more clearly and more frequently to all involved. I thank you and wish you the best as you move forward.” The letter suggested Evans will now leave the project in the hands of the SLE. “Recent criticisms have been leveled claiming that as the Mayor I have been doing too much. Stepping back will be hard, but I have heard the complaint and will act accordingly.” Evans’ effort to end the seeming struggle with Drury about who would buy the land defuses the immediate confrontation, but leaves key questions unanswered. Drury has said repeatedly that Arizona State University won’t sign a deal unless Evans provides a guarantee to raise $10.2 million to provide a financial guarantee against losses in the first three years of operations. ASU also has sought guarantees that the cost of some $10 million in up-front infrastructure costs — including some $7 million in water impact fees demanded by the Town of Payson — won’t get tacked onto the cost of building phase I of the campus. Evans has previously said he could satisfy that condition. From the start of the project, Evans has been the driving force both in raising donations, giving his own money and bringing key partners to the table. As Drury conceded, the
Alliance itself doesn’t have any money and has relied on Evans and the Foundation for the substantial sums spent to get the project to this point. In an interview on Monday, Drury said DCK on Friday again agreed to provide the upfront money the Alliance needs to proceed with the land purchase and drawing up plans. The Alliance would pay back the money as soon as it draws on a commitment to finance the whole project from National Standards Financial. Drury in various radio appearances hosted by Randy Roberson who ran against Evans for mayor offered harsh criticism of Evans’ motives for arranging for the land purchase. Drury insisted in those interviews and again at last week’s Alliance board meeting that the land purchase arrangement was a way for Evans to regain control and freeze out the Alliance. Evans has said he only wanted to hasten the land purchase and the Foundation would immediately transfer title to a Master Special Purpose Entity, which would give investors substantial tax benefits. It remained unclear who would then control the Master Special Purpose Entity (SPE). Organizational charts going back several years show the Alliance board in control of the SPE. Drury pointed to a PowerPoint slide prepared more recently to suggest the Master SPE wouldn’t report to the Alliance board, but to Evans. However, Evans maintained Drury took out of context a presentation that examined several organizational possibilities. Evans
said he has no desire to control the project and there’s no legal structure that would give him control over the SPE. He said he merely sought to facilitate purchase of the land to move the project along before any fresh problems developed. Neither the Alliance nor the Payson or Star Valley councils have created the Master SPE. The two towns appointed the SLE board and could presumably either appoint a different board for the SPE or designate the Alliance board as the Master SPE. Drury said he would have had no objection to having the Foundation facilitate the land purchase, so long as the SPE reported to the existing SLE board. “If that were the case, it would be fine – absolutely no argument whatever,” said Drury. “But (Evans) has never told anybody on the Alliance board that was his plan.”

Mark Alten is a computer technician by day and a dog trainer by night.
Love of animals led man to dog training field BY
KEITH MORRIS
ROUNDUP STAFF
Growing up in a family with three brothers who were master falconers, Mark Alten couldn’t help but develop a love of animals. And for the last 19 years, he’s been sharing his love, and his knowledge, by teaching dog owners how to enjoy a better life with their pets. Alten, 53, owns Alten Dog Training, offering one-on-one training by appointment. He also helps keep the computers all running at Julia Randall Elementary School. “I really enjoy helping people,” he said. “Training the people to train their dog basically is what you do. I’ve always been into the operant conditioning, or positive reinforcement. It’s, ‘you do this, and you get this.’ It’s conditioning. With a falcon, there is no training, it’s all conditioning. They’re going to stay wild. But a dog is domesticated and you can get a real relationship built with a dog.” Alten strives to make it an ideal relationship. “My slogan is: Helping man’s best friend become family,” he said. He works with the dog owner and their pet once a week for about 90 minutes for six weeks for $299. A key aspect of turning a dog into a family member is getting them accustomed to being around other dogs from an early age. “One of the most important things you can do with a dog, especially if you get a puppy, is socialize it,” he said. “I’d almost rather have a bullet-proof socialized dog than a trained dog, because they’re not going to surprise you, they’re not going to go out and bite somebody in the ankle, or attack another dog. If you socialize a dog correctly, get him familiar with other dogs early on, and back that up with training, then you’re on your way to having a nice family member.” Dogs have a pack mentality and Alten said the owner needs to establish him or herself as the pack leader. “Owners need to be educated on what they need to know to condition the dog, or train the dog,” he said. “It’s all part of creating a structure and having a pack mentality, so to speak. And we, as people, need to be pack leaders. If we’re not, a lot of times dogs will take over. In a pack mentality, if one leader is hurt, or gets injured, then another one will step up and take his place.” That means conditioning the dog not to enter a building or room in front of its owner, or walk ahead of its owner. “People are always first — you go through the door first,” Alten said. “You walk with your dog next to you, if he goes ahead of you, you check him back, you train him to walk next to
On t p of the world Fitness model finds footing in tribe’s diabetes wellness program BY
ALEXIS BECHMAN
ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER
There are no street signs here, but down a long dirt road in northern Arizona, past mountains, canyons and springs, a ranch sits on a mesa with a view that stretches for miles. They call it Top of the World. Nearly every weekend, when Casandra Stouder was a child, her mother would drive her to this ranch to spend time with her grandparents. Just before dawn, Stouder’s grandfather would gently tap her leg and motion for her to get up and get ready. She’d fall out of bed, her two older sisters still sleeping soundly, and meet him outside to greet the sun. He would hold her close with an eagle feather in hand and pray in Navajo. Although she didn’t understand the words, she felt everything. “I picked up on certain words — my granddaughter, love, charity, hope,” she said. “And just knowing what those words were, I just loved this old, wrinkly man so much that he was saying these things.” And when the moment was right, Stouder’s grandfather would let her go and she would run. Her bare feet smacking the dry ground, she would run and run until the sun came up over the peaks. She would stop and pray, “Beauty before me, beauty behind me and beauty all around me,” pouring everything in her heart out to the day. Then she would turn and head back, the heat of the sun, the energy, carrying her home. And she would run harder.
Stouder, 30, has faced many storms in life, but has always fallen back on these mornings and her grandparent’s strength and prayers to carry her through. And it has made her work harder. “They really put into our minds and our hearts that we had to practice uncomfortable situations in a positive way,” she said. “That is what fitness means to me. It taught me to be uncomfortable. Most kids just want to sleep in, but I was lucky enough to have my grandfather put me in an uncomfortable situation that I had to figure out, that I had to feel. It is something that I will never forget.” Today, Stouder is finding ways to instill this lesson to others both locally and nationally. She is the diabetes program coordinator for the Tonto Apache Tribe, a personal trainer, Girls on the Run coach and recently became a spokes model for Runway Beauty Native American, which publishes a nationwide calendar. In 2015, Stouder is the cover model. The calendar will come out later this year. But the road to cover model has been anything but smooth. Stouder battled poverty, a learning disability, depression and later, weight. Stouder lets out bits and pieces of her story at her bi-weekly aerobic classes at the Tonto Apache gym, offering class goers a glimpse into a life she hopes they can pull inspiration from to get through the rigorous workout and maybe the rest of the week. The Roundup sat down with Stouder recently, appropriately on top of a bluff overlooking the Payson area and Granite Dells, for the complete story. Her journey starts humbly in rural Arizona. Her father left when she was just 4 years old, leaving her mother to care for Stouder and her two older sisters Cynthia and Catherine. The one constant in her life was her grandparents out on that mesa. “My drive and inspiration comes from my grandparents. I just feel really spiritually connected to them,” she said. “They are no longer here, but just their traditional teachings through our Navajo tribe just really impacted me and my whole way of thinking about myself, family and others and life itself.” They taught her the traditional ways and how to pray. Since her grandfather spoke only Navajo and she spoke only English, Stouder learned to read their emo-
tions and gestures. “It was a feeling they gave us,” she said. “A mindful and loving way to live.” Besides her grandparents, her oldest sister Cynthia, now 33, would become an inspiration in her life. Born with cerebral palsy, Cynthia is confined to a wheelchair, blind and mute. Stouder learned how to communicate with Cynthia through emotion as well. Because she cannot speak, Stouder pays attention to her sister’s expressions and demeanor. When someone enters the room she doesn’t know, for example, Stouder senses Cynthia sink back into her chair. Throughout her life, children would point and comment at Cynthia. Stouder said her mother never got angry when a child did this, but would instead calmly take them aside and explain what made Cynthia unique. “She always told us, ‘Your sister has come through this experience to help heal others and open other’s minds,’” Stouder said. “It taught me to try harder and work harder. When I am tired and my legs are sore I am thankful that I can walk, that I can run. I pay tribute to my sister. I do it for her.” Far from a burden on the family, Stouder learned her sister was a healer. When she was 8, she and her mother and sisters moved to the Valley and a few years later, to Tonto Basin when her mother’s boyfriend lost his job. They moved into a tent near the lake. With no bathroom, they used bags for their waste. Scared and worried for her family’s future, Stouder dreamed of a home. For more than a year, the family carried on inside the shabby tent. When things got tough for Stouder, she’d look to Cynthia, who always seemed to be smiling and happy despite the circumstances and her frequent seizures, and realize “it’s not so bad.” “She taught us how to be human and graceful.” During that time, Stouder missed the fourth grade, falling behind. Eventually, her mother’s boyfriend secured a tiny travel trailer and the family moved into the trailer park near the Mandarin House. Stouder attended Julia Randall Elementary School and tried to hide her poverty and struggles. But Stouder couldn’t take her eyes off the walls. She found herself staring at the walls from her desk, soaking in the feeling of security. “It just felt so good to be in shelter.” Things slowly got better for the family. She continued to run in the mornings at her grandparents while on summer break. At 18, Stouder had her first child, a daughter she named Layla; and a few years later she had a son. After the pregnancies, Stouder gained weight and

Energized young students from Payson Elementary School (PES) rushed from the busses in their eagerness to spend a big day at the Bar L Bar Ranch. The many lessons of the day included a quick Q and A on chickens. “Why do you think we have chickens here on the ranch?” asked Cassie Lyman, who lives on the ranch and coordinated the visit. A considerable range of responses flew from the students’ mouths, including; “To eat?” and “For eggs?” Cassie said they rarely eat the chickens, but do collect about one egg for each chicken every day. Moreover, the chickens do a great job of gobbling up farmyard bugs — including scorpions! Next, the children got to look in the chicken coop. To their delight, inside they found 25 baby chicks. As the first group headed back to school, the second group headed to the horse field to eat lunch before their turn for a tour of the ranch. In the sea of little voices, Mrs. Sanchez said to her class, “You know what we’re gonna do tomorrow? “We’re gonna write thank you cards!” Suddenly, ranch owner Art Lyman shouted, “There’s a chicken on the loose! It’s running around everywhere! Whoever can catch it can take it home!” Hilarious chaos ensued. Art educated the students about his ranch. He started by explaining how Bar L Bar Ranch has 200 head of ‘free range’ mother cows, which are rounded up and

At that time, the rancher sells their babies to other ranches. Ranchers rely on both horses and dogs to herd the ‘free range’ cattle. Art didn’t have to give much thought to becoming a rancher, since he’s a fourthgeneration rancher. “That’s what we do to make a livin’ here, is raise cows,” he said. Five classes from PES toured the ranch in the afternoon, with five different stations set up. One of the stations was the “Leather
Key Chain Craft” — this is when the students got to stamp a piece of leather with the stamp of their choice and make a keychain to take home as a souvenir. Art and his grandson, Elias, a third-grader at Julia Randall Elementary, helped with the stamping, since the stamp had to be hammered into the leather with more force than most of the kids could administer. Another station called “Cows Make Milk - Free Milk” was run by Eric Rovey of Rovey Dairy, from Glendale, which has 200 head of cattle. He started by explain-
ing that cows make milk but the rancher still goes to the store to buy his milk. “We buy our milk from the store because it’s already pasteurized and homogenized and prepared to drink,” and that the raw cows’ milk has to go through a process before it can be consumed. He explains the four stages a dairy cow goes through: Momma gets pregnant, has her baby, the rancher takes the baby away and it goes on to live at another ranch, and the cow is milked. “Are all cows the same?” asked Rovey. He said most people are familiar with the big, black and white Holstein milk cows, but smaller, brown Jersey cows can stand higher temperatures. Rovey has Jersey cows on his dairy farm. “What is cows’ milk used for, besides to drink?” he asked the curious youngsters. Several children blurted out answers, like, “to make cheese” and “to make ice cream.” The milk cow rancher said cheese is manufactured into 640-pound blocks, sold to factories to be cut up, then packaged and distributed to stores. This seemed to astound the children. Jared Lyman, son of Art Lyman and husband to Cassie Lyman, manned the station about ranch use of horses and demonstrated how to shoe a horse. Displays on a table related to the horse, such as a saddle, a rope to restrain cattle, cowboy boots with spurs, horse shoes, a file called a rasp, hoof nippers, a comb called a curry comb, a brush, and a bridle. Jared talked about each of the objects and answered numerous questions. Julee Lyman, Art’s wife, ran the next station called “Cow to Beef.” She
explained the different cows on her farm in plain words the children could understand: Daddy is the bull, Momma is the cow, and baby is the calf. She explained different things about the cows, such as they don’t have any top teeth in the front, have four stomachs, eat corn and salt, and even eat cactus. She explained their cows are ‘free range’ and other nearby ranchers have ‘free range’ cattle, as well. Each cow is tagged on the ear, kind of like getting your ear pierced, and then each cow is branded with a specific brand unique to each ranch. The kids got to select their own brands, then branded their paper cow with paint. Wrapping up the day was the explanation of cattle by-products. Tricia Hale, neighboring cattle owner, and her son Denton Hale were in charge of the “Cattle By-Product” station. Denton also assisted at the “Leather Key Chain Craft.” At the end of the day, Angie Newbold, of the Arizona Farm Bureau, helped out. Newbold presented a board with pictures of items made with cattle by-products. Students learned that many different things are made from cattle by-products, such as gelatin for chewing gum, paint and brushes, emery boards, crayons, piano keys, pharmaceuticals and medical supplies, marshmallows, Rennet Tablets for cheese making and even footballs. Sometimes called a “pigskin,” footballs are actually made from the skin and hide of cattle and one cow can produce 20 footballs. It takes 600 animals to provide the NFL with one season worth of balls!

Hitch up the wagon and get GCC firefighter training program on over to the Rim Country Museum Gift Shop! receives national accreditation Gila Community College’s Operations class program, offered in partnership with Payson Fire Department, has now received formal accreditation from the International Fire Service Accreditation Congress (IFSAC). “IFSAC is a peer-driven, selfgoverning system that accredits both public fire service certification programs and higher education fire-related degree programs. The IFSAC Certificate Assembly provides accreditation to entities that certify the competency of and issue certificates to individuals who pass examinations based on the National Fire Protection Association fire service professional qualifica-
tions and other standards approved by the Assembly,” said Payson FD Captain Rick Winton, lead instructor for the joint GCC/PFD program. Training through an IFSACaccredited training program assures that the students’ training received will be accepted throughout the country and even beyond … anywhere that recognizes IFSAC accreditation. “This is very important for a student who may be applying for a firefighter job, even in another state,” said GCC Fire Science program coordinator (and retired Payson Fire Chief) Chuck Jacobs. “Captain Winton deserves a lot of credit for all the hard work involved in making
this happen.” The GCC Fire Science program involves a variety of classes, but the IFSAC Accreditation applies specifically to Fire Operations I, Fire Operations II, and Hazardous Materials First Responder, three classes offered as a package to prepare students to take written and practical exams to become Arizona State-certified structural firefighters. Registration for 2015 Spring Semester classes is open now, and classes will start on Jan. 7. For the Fire Operations/HazMat course package, certain restrictions apply.

Gray wolf confirmed near Grand Canyon North Rim Wayward Rocky Mountain gray wolf wandered at least 450 miles BY
PETE ALESHIRE
ROUNDUP EDITOR
A Rocky Mountain gray wolf has shown up on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, DNA tests have now confirmed. The wolf turns out to be the offspring of wolves reintroduced at least 450 miles to the north, not one of the Mexican gray wolves introduced near Alpine along the Arizona-New Mexico border. Ironically enough, that means the wolf remains fully protected under the Endangered Species Act, although Rocky Mountain gray wolves are far more numerous than the Mexican gray wolf, whose reintroduction has spurred controversy in Arizona. Biologists did genetic tests of scat (feces) collected from the wolf north of Grand Canyon National Park on the North Kaibab National Forest. “This wolf has traveled a long way to get to the Grand Canyon, a place that has been missing its wolves for decades,” said Sandy Bahr, chapter director for Sierra Club’s Grand Canyon Chapter. “You cannot help but feel hopeful when you see that despite many obstacles — from roads and development to politics, this animal has made its way to a place, Grand Canyon, that is ideal for wolves, an area that has been repeatedly identified by scientists as a place where wolves should be restored. The message is clear, wolves belong at Grand Canyon.” Kim Crumbo, conservation director for Grand Canyon Wildlands Council, said, “That a determined wolf could make it to the Canyon region from the northern Rockies is cause for celebration, and every effort must be taken to protect this brave wanderer and to continue the work to protect the wildlife corridors she used to get here.” “She came, she saw, she made history,” said Maggie Howell with the Wolf Conservation Center in N.Y. “This wild milestone is a demonstration of the great potential for wolf recovery in areas where this keystone species has yet to take hold. But with USFWS poised to remove federal protections nationwide, will other pioneers be able to return to areas with suitable habitat and availability of prey?” Since early October, a collared, wolf-like canid was repeatedly

observed and photographed on the Kaibab Plateau just north of Grand Canyon National Park. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Arizona Game and Fish Department, and National Park Service wildlife officials managed to pick up a radio signal from an apparently inoperable radio telemetry collar. On Nov. 2, Fish and Wildlife Service biologists collected scat for genetic information. Service biologists tried unsuccessfully to capture the animal to collect blood and replace the radio collar. Any future capture efforts will be for collar and transmitter replacement, and the wolf will be released on site. The University of Idaho’s Laboratory for Ecological, Evolutionary and Conservation Genetics did the DNA analysis and may eventually figure out exactly where the wolf came from. “The DNA results indicate this wolf traveled at least 450 miles from an area in the northern Rocky Mountains to northern Arizona,” said Benjamin Tuggle, Southwest regional director. “Wolves, particularly young wolves, can be quite nomadic dispersing great distances across the landscape. Such behavior is not unusual for juveniles as they travel to find food or another mate.” Gray wolves have not been observed in the area for more than 70 years when predatorextermination campaigns killed

the last of them in the area. This female gray wolf is not associated with the Mexican wolf population, a subspecies of gray wolves that occurs in Arizona and New Mexico south of Interstate 40. The Mexican gray wolves were reintroduced as an “experimental” and “nonessential population,” which means they can be removed if they stray from the designated reintroduction area. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed expanding the Mexican gray wolf reintroduction area to include much of northern Arizona, including all of Rim Country. Ironically, the much more numerous Rocky Mountain gray wolf population has more protection across much of its recovery range. Federal and tribal efforts have reintroduced the wolves in Washington, Oregon, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana. Biologists estimate about 1,700 wolves organized in 320 packs now roam the West, with perhaps 65,000 wolves in Canada and Alaska. Gray wolves also live in Michigan and Minnesota and other states. The federal government has delisted wolves in some states, which even opens the door to a state-regulated hunting season on the wolves. They remain protected elsewhere. The lone Rocky Mountain gray wolf in Arizona would have full protection from harassment or killing under the Endangered Species Act.

Safeway golf tournament helps out local schools BY
KELLY GRIFFITH
ROUNDUP INTERN
Safeway’s ninth annual School Beautification Golf Tournament had an excellent turnout this year, with all proceeds supporting Payson Head Start and local schools. The tournament is a fundraiser held each year at a local golf course. Store Manager Dan Dillon and Assistant Manager Russell Youngcourt organize the event each year. This year’s fundraiser raised a total of $7,000 and helped buy about $300 worth of pork for the Payson High School Band’s fundraising dinner held Thursday, Nov. 20; donated $500 to “Fifth Quarter� (a program that brings kids together after a football game); and donated $750 to Head Start for educational materials. The rest of the funds were put into the school district account. In the past donations have gone to school improvements, such as a $2,500 donated to the middle school for its sports programs; $1,000 to the Payson High School band for new equipment; the lighted sign at the corner of
Dan Dillon
the middle school; $7,500 worth of fencing at the middle school; and $1,500 toward notebook computers, also for middle school. Dillon would like to give special thanks to Youngcourt for doing all the legwork.� The tournament was pushed out a week; consequently Dillon couldn’t be there, so Youngcourt managed it alone. Originally 30 teams signed up and 25 still attended despite the delay. More than 105 area businesses donated through sponsorship of holes and raffle tickets.

Trainer helps owners be pack leaders From page 1B you, not behind and not in front, right next to you. It’s all about structure.” He said the best advice he can give dog owners is to exercise them daily. “As (The Dog Whisperer) Cesar Millan would say, ‘exercise, discipline, love in that order,’” he said. “Exercise, exercise, exercise — a tired dog is typically a good dog. It’s exercise, discipline, love, then consistent repetition, just doing the same thing over and over, so they get a routine.” He said people need to spend time with their dog if they hope to have an ideal relationship. “A lot of times people get a dog and they don’t realize how much time it actually takes,” Alten said. “People think that letting a dog out in the back yard is exercise. It’s not really; they need mental exercise, also. Dogs having a pack mentality, they need to go from Point A to Point B, it’s mental, as well as the exercise. If you want a stable, confident, relaxed dog, you need to be, as Cesar Millan would say, calm and assertive, give them exercise, give affection, and discipline when needed and just be consistent.” Although he said people just want their dog to feel like a part of the family, many pet owners don’t go about it the right way. “People tend to baby their dogs,” Alten said. “A dog’s a dog’s a dog’s a dog. Yes, we want to make them feel like
part of our family, but, with that being said, again, you want to create structure: reward good behavior, and redirect bad behavior. Don’t baby them.” He also works with dogs on behavior modification. “Some dogs come from a shelter and they’ve got baggage,” he said. “You’ve got to figure out what that baggage is and counteract whatever they went through — they could have been attacked by another dog.” He said the age of the dog doesn’t matter. “I see a lot of puppies but there’s no limit,” Alten said. “The myth that an old dog can’t learn new tricks, is just that, a myth. If they’re healthy and in good condition, a dog can learn something new, I believe, at no matter what age.” He and his wife, Kim, have been married for 13 years and have three dogs — two miniature schnauzers and a toy poodle. Alten grew up in Southern California before moving to Colorado and then Idaho before relocating to Payson about five months ago. He spent many years working in sales but “I’ve always had a calling to the animal thing,” he said. He earned his certification as a dog trainer from Animal Behavior College in San Bernardino, Calif. He works as a computer technician at Julia Randall Elementary during the day and is available to work with dogs and their owners any time after 4 p.m. Keith Morris/Roundup To schedule an appointment, call (626) 617-2274, email him at mark@altendogtraining.com or visit his website at Mark Alten works with Bane, a Husky-German shepherd mix, and his owner Allie www.altendogtraining.com.

Fitness instructor hopes to expand program to community From page 1B overweight for years. Depressed, she knew she needed to make a change. She started working out and attending classes. Inspired by instructors Pam DeVou and Nina Ray, she eventually obtained her personal training certification. She didn’t know if anyone would attend her classes and sometimes no one showed up. She prayed for just one client, one person to make a difference with. And eventually her classes swelled in size. Today, Stouder works with the tribe’s diabetes wellness program. Previous people in the position had struggled to find a footing and unable to make a difference, left. People told her she’d fail too, but Stouder knew “how to be uncomfortable” from all those early morning runs. Stouder started making home visits and getting to know tribe members. She put out fliers and offered an open door policy for information on wellness. In the beginning, tribe members were skeptical, but when Stouder didn’t back down, people started trickling in looking for help. The grant-funded program is making headway today with Stouder expanding the program beyond just the Native Americans on the reservation to the community as a whole. She used grant funding to buy new gym equipment, a community playground and set up a diabetes pharmacy in the wellness center. When she started in May 2011, about 34 percent of the community had diabetes or were prediabetic. She is proud to report many are no longer pre-diabetic, but there is still tons of work left to do.

Casanda Stouder strikes a pose atop the Mogollon Rim. She has introduced community games, nutritional bingo and chair exercising for older adults that incorporates storytelling. “Everything I have figured out on how to turn this program around, I have no education in this, no experience for this position and actually when they gave me the opportunity I didn’t want it, I was fearful. But I think fear is a good motivator.” Besides skeptics, she’s had to deal with sexual harassment. That’s made work very stressful. Then she crossed paths with the founders of Runway Beauty Native Americans. Although she had never done a major photo shoot, she auditioned for the calendar. She not only got it, but made the cover and the owners asked if she would like to do runway shows and travel around the country as a spokesperson, sharing her story and wellness tips to other Native Americans. The owners told Stouder she was just the role model they were looking for, a powerful, confident and healthy woman. Stouder still runs in the early morning hours, but now with her daughter. “And like my grandfather did, I pray for her,” she said. “She will understand it one day and use it.”
