Home Depot co-worker saved by

roundup staff reporter

A group of Home Depot supervisors saved a fellow worker’s life Wednesday when his heart stopped beating as he worked in the painting department.

Glenn Shaw, 54, was kneeling to help a customer find a paintbrush around 5:30 p.m. when he lost consciousness and rolled to the ground.

Paint supervisor James Turco saw Shaw collapse and ran to his aid, said store manager David Kane. Turco shouted for help and several colleagues working nearby ran through the store off North Beeline Highway to Shaw’s aid.

As someone called 911 for help, Turco began CPR. Turco gave Shaw

Monsoon onset may douse fire risk by

roundup staff reporter

The dark clouds can’t be missed and this week saw lightning strikes up near Christopher Creek.

Could only mean one thing: Monsoon!

For the last few years, the erratic monsoon season has often started late — sometimes in mid-July.

“For Flagstaff they always say it starts around July 4th,” said David Vonderheide of the National Weather Service.

This year, however, he said it’s starting about a week early.

“The upper high pressure is moving,” he said, “dew points are going up — we saw that yesterday,” said Vonderheide.

But the big storms won’t start right away, he said.

“Today (Thursday) things are working against the monsoon,” he said. “By Sunday or Monday, the set-up for monsoon is definitely setting up.”

Last year, the monsoon interrupted the Payson fireworks display, delaying the show for so long that many people left before the show started.

The National Weather Service predicts that so far this year, the Fourth of

July looks dry.

The early monsoons and high dew point certainly help with the fire season.

By now the NWS has usually issued several red flag warnings due to low humidity and high winds. But not so far this year.

“We’re lacking those winds and the humidity is high,” he said. “If lightning kicks off, a fire it’s easier to control.”

But Vonderheide also said it’s still dry.

“The amazing thing is that even with the amount of rain we’ve gotten, the high intense sun ... still managed to dry out the See Monsoon rains, page 9A

chest compressions, flooring supervisor Gloria Hamelin did mouth-to-mouth, windows and doors supervisor Candi Webb checked Shaw’s pulse and vitals while building and lumber supervisor Leroy Tafoya watched and coached the group.

“It was a phenomenal team effort,” said Kane, who had just left the store when Shaw collapsed and returned when he learned what had happened. “I got choked up when I heard what they did.”

For 10 seconds, it appeared like Shaw was gone because he had turned blue, Turco said. But the team continued to work and Shaw came around. When Payson firefighters arrived, they hooked him to a cardiac monitor and delivered

Charter school due Could impact Payson district by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

American Leadership Academy, a multi-campus charter school from the Valley, announced it will open a K-12 campus in Payson by 2016, an announcement with potentially serious consequences for the Payson Unified School District.

ALA Chief Executive Officer Brent McArthur confirmed rumors the charter school operator will open a campus here.

“The Arizona State Board for Charter Schools recently approved our request

to operate a K-12 school in Payson with a start date of Aug. 8, 2016,” said McArthur. “We are excited about the opportunity to serve the educational needs of families and students in the Payson community.”

Gila County eyes building plan stacked against the north Rim Country facilities may get 13 percent of money while paying 71 percent of property taxes by

Teresa McQuerrey

roundup staff reporter

Gila County plans to spend $6.3 million on county facilities in 2015-16 — but 83 percent of the money will go to Southern Gila County, which has less than half the population and pays roughly 29 percent of the county’s property tax bill.

And that’s if we’re lucky.

A proposed $378,000 remodel of the

county’s jail facilities in Payson could easily turn into a patchwork $100,000 project. In that case, North County will see just 13 percent of the county’s capital spending, while still paying 71 percent of the property taxes.

The supervisors will discuss most of those improvements ($5.4 million) in a work session at 10 a.m., Tuesday, June 30.

Chairman Mike Pastor (D-2) and

Supervisor John Marcanti (D-3) will be in Globe, while Supervisor Tommie Martin (D-1) will attend the meeting via interactive television at her office on East Highway 260 in Payson. Northern Gila County residents can attend the work session at either location.

Globe will benefit from most of the projects.

The Northern Gila County projects on the work session list include:

• Remodel Payson NAPA building for courts — $600,000 • Payson Courthouse steps/landing — $129,000 • Payson Jail Remodel once Administration and Dispatch moved — $377,750 (if this remodel is not done, a “Sally-Port” for transfer of prisoners to the courts and replacing the floor in the Payson GCSO administration area — $100,000)

• Star Valley GCSO property evidence storage climate control — $12,000 • Payson Jail parking lot repair with concrete in front of jail — $9,000 That totals approximately $1.13 million in North County projects, or just $850,000 if the supervisors scale down the jail remodel project.

The balance of the $5.4 million work (being discussed) or $4.31 million is in the Globe area.

Volunteers rally to help Forest Service protect the forest Cheerful helpers patrol, make signs, educate and clean up Michele Nelson

For Pat Shelton, it started with a skill saw and a bathroom remodel.

For Anna Groves, it started with a love of people and lots of experience as a volunteer.

For the Forest Service, it took just such special people to make the new volunteer program at the Payson Ranger Station the success it is today.

rounding Payson and the Rim Country free of trash, full of beautiful signs, accessible trails and fire safe — not to mention offering a friendly face in the front office to answer any and all questions.

Just like school districts, the Forest Service has seen its funding plummet since the recession. Forest Service staff has been asked to do more with less, say officials.

The Recreation Department has some of the greatest responsibilities as the first line of contact with the public.

Recreation officers pick up trash, maintain trails, manage recreation sites, clean bathrooms, monitor signs, and educate visitors about Firewise policies in addition to answering numerous questions.

With approximately 193 million square miles of forest to manage in one of the busiest forests in the National Forest System,

the three recreation officers found themselves overwhelmed.

So three years ago, they decided to launch a volunteer program.

“The Tonto is one of the largest and busiest forests in the nation. There are only three of us to educate and get the correct word out,” said Chelsea Muise, recreation officer in the Payson Ranger District.

She and a former colleague started clean up days calling on the community to help.

They found that they needed to step up the volunteer program to have regular volunteers show up consistently — not just once in awhile. In other words, they needed more employees, but didn’t have the funding to hire more people.

Still, it took pleasant persistence and Michele Nelson/Roundup considerable commitment to launch the Pat Shelton (right) uses her sign-building skills to help the Forest Service cope with visitors in the crowded Tonto National Forest.

For the second time, Payson Police officer Michael McAnerny was named Northern Gila County Officer of the Year by the Rim Country Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution.

Police Chief Don Engler said McAnerny has always been an exceptional worker, both as a detective and now as a patrol officer.

“He is always willing to take more than his share of the calls,” he said. “He is a good example to the other officers.”

Engler praised McAnerny for his work putting a sex offender absconder behind bars.

Last year, McAnerny was driv­ ing down West Main Street when he saw a bicyclist without any lights. When the officer tried to stop the man, he fled.

McAnerny and another officer caught the man and McAnerny recognized him as Barry Lam­ bert. However, Lambert gave McAnerny a different date of birth than he had previously.

Suspicious, McAnerny scanned the man’s fingerprints with a hand-held mobile identification device. Turns out, the man’s real name was Dennis Carl Steinbauer and he was wanted for aggravated

He was also listed as an absconded sex offender and had even been featured on the television show, “America’s Most Wanted.”

McAnerny determined Stein­ bauer had lied to the PPD about his identity at least 11 times since

2008 and three times to the Gila County Sheriff’s Office.

“This is a perfect example of his service and work,” Engler said.

McAnerny has been with the PPD for nine years. He worked at the Phoenix Police Department before that for six years.

The Sons of the American Revolution named him Officer of the Year in 2012.

It was a busy day of calls on Wednesday, June 24, for the Payson Police Department, handling a suicidal subject and reports of a domestic situation at the Sawmill Crossing parking lot.

Around 10 a.m., a 26-year-old man sent his ex-girlfriend a picture of him holding a gun to his head, threatening suicide.

A slew of officers responded to the 1400 block of Sunset Drive and eventually had to break down the man’s door to get him out.

Residents in the area may have spotted sev­ eral patrol vehicles in the area during the call.

Police arrested the man on several out­ standing warrants, said Police Chief Don Engler.

Later in the day, around 1 p.m., officers sped to the Sawmill parking lot after a man

reported his supposedly drunken girlfriend had broken a beer bottle and threatened him with it before fleeing the area.

Police caught up with the woman in a van and the man on foot in the parking lot. Officers found no evidence that the woman was drunk or that she had broken a bottle. Offices could find no glass in the parking lot. The man claimed she had cleaned it up.

Police left without making an arrest.

Charter school plans to open campus in Payson From page 1A intendent Greg Wyman said the district knew of the charter school’s arrival.

“We understand there is a new char­ ter school coming; however, we believe the Payson Unified School District has provided and will continue to provide the best possible comprehensive educational experience for all students in Payson,” he said.

McArthur said ALA decided on the Payson location because families in the community sought out the charter school and asked it “to bring ALA to Payson.”

“Once we determined that we were a good fit for one another, we asked the Arizona State Board for Charter Schools (ASBCS) to approve a charter expansion and enrollment cap increase,” said McArthur.

However, McArthur said ALA has not pur­ chased any land in Payson, yet.

“As you can imagine, we are in the early phases of planning and performing our due diligence. We are beginning to research various sites within the Payson community,” said McArthur.

Already, this news has excited some peo­ ple in the community.

“We are very excited! Finally more options for our town!” said Crystal Curiel Whitlock on the Payson Roundup Facebook page.

Amanda Marie, a Roundup fan from the Valley, wrote about her personal experience with ALA. “My boys attended this school in Queen Creek last year and it’s AMAZING!!! I swear by them and their curriculum!!! This is very exciting news!!! They have an A rating for a reason. They have passion for the kids to strive and really care about their future as well as offer great opportunities on campus.”

According to ALA’s website (http://www. alaschools.org) the charter school charges no tuition as it is a state-sponsored charter school. ALA does require uniforms, though.

Pictures of the simple red, white, blue and tan mixes of T-shirts and pants can be viewed on its website.

ALA takes students on a first-come, firstserve basis, but gives priority to returning students and relatives of staff. To help make their choice, ALA invites students and fam­ ilies to tour the campus. Students may also shadow students to immerse themselves in the culture and environment of the school to see if they will be happy with their choice.

McArthur said details on how many stu­ dents the Payson campus can take will be forthcoming, but he did confirm what sort of students ALA will accept.

“We accept all students regardless of aca­

demic needs and are able to use our discre­ tion when enrolling students that may have a recent expulsion from a previous school,” said McArthur.

McArthur also said he would hire local talent to staff the school.

“We are in the early phases of planning.

We would most certainly and primarily hire staff from the Payson community,” said McArthur.

As to the mechanics of enrollment, par­ ents may enroll online or download and print out a paper copy to submit to the campus of their choice, for ALA has a few locations in the Valley.

In Anthem South, ALA has a K-6 school.

ALA also has kindergarten through sixthgrade schools in Ironwood, Gilbert, Queen Creek, Mesa and San Tan. ALA has K-6 and 7-12 schools in Ironwood and Queen Creek.

The school says it focuses on creating civic-minded students by focusing on the American heritage by studying U.S. histor­ ical source documents. ALA teaches leader­ ship skills such as self-mastery, setting and reaching goals, and working as a team by following Steven Covey’s “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.”

“We’re excited about our vision: Learn, Lead, Change the World!” said McArthur.

“We’re also equally excited about our mis­ sion statement: Provide the best educational experience to as many students as possible in a moral and wholesome environment.”

But the ALA website says the school mostly follows a classical education with a rigorous curriculum.

“We utilize the Core Knowledge Sequence in grades K-8, which outlines the most important math, science, history and lan­ guage arts content and skills that students in American schools must understand to be culturally literate,” said McArthur. “In grades 9-12, we build upon the foundation that was laid in previous grades through the Core Knowledge Sequence.”

McArthur said ALA approaches math with a rigorous attitude.

“For math, we utilize Saxon in grades K-10 and have sequenced our instruction to challenge students to work one year above grade level,” he said. “For 11-12 math such as pre-calculus and calculus, we have partnered with Chandler Gilbert Community College to offer their math courses as dual enrollment opportunities for our students.”

McArthur then laid out the language and humanities curriculum.

“For K-5 language arts, we have adopted the Core Knowledge Language Arts (CKLA)

program, which is fully aligned to the Core Knowledge Sequence,” he said. “In grades sixth through eighth, we utilize the Hake Grammar and Writing program as well as, Vocabulary from Classical Roots.”

In all its curriculum, McArthur said the school seeks rigor.

“In grades 4-12, we utilize document-based questions to build our students’ capacity to analyze primary and secondary source doc­ uments related to the history and science domains.

“Students are asked to create a thesis at the conclusion of each assignment and to defend their position based on the questions that are posed. These skills are crucial as we prepare students for college and career,” he said.

“Our reading instruction in all grade lev­ els is heavily rooted in the study of classical literature and is connected to the histo­ ry and science domains that students are studying.”

But not everyone is happy with ALA com­ ing to Payson.

“There goes the funding for the pub­ lic schools ...” said Deborah SchadewaldKohler.

The state already pays $1,000 more per pupil to charters than it does for convention­ al public schools.

Roy Sandoval, former principal of Payson High School, agreed the move could deal Payson Unified School District a blow.

“I have been saying this would happen for awhile now, but have been interpreted by some as ‘sour grapes,’” he said. “It turns out that ALA is for real. It’s a good one with high academic standards. Usually what happens after this is the creme de la creme parents, who are serious about their students’ aca­ demics, enroll their kids. Guess what this leaves in the traditional public school. Like what I have to say or not on this, it is what happens.”

Wyman believes PUSD can hold its own.

“Our staff of highly qualified teachers, low class size, broad extracurricular and co-curricular activities (7-12), expanding technology, Career and Technical Education opportunities, connections with NAVIT and Gila Community College, and our offerings of regular education, special education, online education and choice through Payson Center for Success are unmatched in the communi­ ty,” he said. “Our rich traditions and history provide a connection to the community that we continue to foster with a new generation of students.

“As always it is a ‘Great day to be a Longhorn.’”

U.S. Supreme Court upholds health care law Arizona representatives blast decision by

Pete Aleshire

roundup editor

The U.S. Supreme Court rejected the latest effort to overturn the Affordable Care Act, ensuring that thousands of Gila County residents won’t lose health care coverage.

The Supreme Court ruled on a 6-3 vote that people living in states that didn’t set up their own health insurance exchange can still get subsidies for their insurance premiums through the Affordable Care Act — better known as Obamacare.

Arizona and 33 other states have refused to set up their own insurance exchanges through which people buy insurance and qualify for subsidies based on income. Instead, the federal government runs the exchanges for those 34 states. The issue in King v. Burwell was whether a reference to state-run exchanges in the original legislation meant that people in states with a federal exchange could not get the subsidies.

If the Court had ruled otherwise, 126,000 Arizona residents could have lost their subsidies for health care coverage.

That includes thousands of Gila County residents, since the county has one of the highest medically uninsured rates in the state.

Writing for the majority, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote “Congress passed the Affordable Care Act to improve health insurance markets, not destroy them.”

However, writing for the three dissenting justices Antonin Scalia called the majority decision “quite absurd” and “interpretive jiggery-pokery.” He wrote “it rewrites the law to make the tax cred-

its available everywhere, we should start calling this law SCOTUScare.”

The Supreme Court ruling has no effect on another effort to repeal a key provision of Obamacare in Arizona. In that separate case, lawmakers including Rim Country representatives Bob Thorpe and Brenda Barton sued to try to reverse a state law that expanded eligibility for the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System from 100 percent to 138 percent of a poverty level wage. Thousands of Gila County residents gained coverage under that expansion, which still remains at risk.

Many Republican lawmakers greeted the U.S. Supreme Court decision once again upholding the legality of the Affordable Care Act with outrage.

Arizona Senator Sylvia Allen said, “I am very disappointed with the opinion of the Court which Justice Roberts admits was to save the act. I agree with Justice Scalia who gave the dissent opinion saying that the ruling was ‘interpretative jiggery-pokery’ and that the Court’s job is not to make up for sloppy drafting of the law. Scalia also said that the law should be called ‘SCOTUScare.’

“I feel that this Court is an activist court moving to redefine legislation and no longer protects the constitutionality of our laws. Already, reports are showing that Obamacare is already bankrupt and is proving to be a failure. It will be the American taxpayers and businesses who are paying the price,” she said.

Rep. Paul Gosar, who represents Rim Country in Congress, said, “I am extremely disappointed by today’s Supreme Court decision to uphold Obamacare subsidies

in state-operated exchanges. As the court itself admitted, state exchanges were excluded from subsidies. Rather than uphold the law as written, the court majority rewrote the law again effectively undercutting the rule of law.

“Extending subsidies will continue to cover the fact that burdensome Obamacare regulations are making health insurance more expensive for all Americans.

“This ensures consumers will continue to find fewer choices and lower quality health care while having to pay higher premiums.”

Gosar added in a prepared release, “Today’s decision, will not save this horrendous law that has caused premiums to skyrocket.

“I remain committed to repealing Obamacare in its entirety and replacing it with an affordable, free market solution that ensures all Americans have access to quality health care.”

Arizona U.S. Senator John McCain in a statement said, “today’s Supreme Court decision is a disappointment to the Arizonans hurt by Obamacare’s broken promises, rising costs, lost jobs, and reduced health care choices. The American people deserve better.

“I remain committed to repealing and replacing this fundamentally broken law with patient-centered reforms that work for all Americans.

“It is long past time for Democrats to come to the negotiating table in good faith and increase competition and choice in the health insurance marketplace, and allow Americans the freedom to choose the health care that works for them and their families — not the federal government.”

Sen. John McCain

Rep. Paul Gosar

Most Democrats, health care advocacy groups and hospital groups welcomed the decision, saying a different decision would have cost 6.4 million people medical insurance coverage. Advocates feared an insurance “death spiral” as healthy people who lost coverage went without while sick people without coverage took advantage of the law’s provisions requiring insurance companies to cover people regardless of pre-existing conditions.

A recent federal study concluded that the percentages of Arizonans without insurance has fallen from 21 percent to 17 percent since the health care law took effect. Nationally, the share of the population without insurance fell from 17 percent to 12 percent.

Some 348,000 Arizona residents also collected $11 million in insurance rebates under a requirement that insurance plans refund money if they pay too large a share of their revenue on administration and advertising.

Premiums have risen since Congress adopted the law five years ago. Health

care experts attribute a large portion of that increase to the law’s requirements that insurance plans cover pre-existing conditions, allow college students to remain on their parents’ health plans and cover preventive services and contraception.

Since 2015, premiums have risen by 4 percent annually, a much lower rate of increase than in years past — even before passage of Obamacare, according to the federal Department of Health Services. However, its still double the inflation rate.

Between 2003 and 2011, average total premiums have increased by 62 percent, per-person deductibles have risen 117 percent, and average employee premiums for family plans have increased by 74 percent.

The Kaiser Foundation did a study of premium rate increases and concluded that the rate of increase in health premiums has actually slowed in the past five years, compared to the double-digit rate increases in the 1990s and early 2000s.

Payson’s violent crime rate plunges 13 percent Calls for service rise, arrests drop

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

The number of violent crimes in Payson dropped 13 percent last year, despite a small increase in calls to the police.

Assaults and larceny both dropped sharply.

Police Chief Don Engler said he is proud to see that the index crime rate went down, based on reported cases of homicide, rape, robbery, arson, assaults, vehicle thefts, burglaries and larceny crimes.

Payson had 100 fewer thefts in 2014, according to the department’s annual report. Engler said officers tied a number of thefts that took place in 2013 to a handful of people who were cashing in on unlocked vehicles and homes, grabbing what they could. In 2014, that trend did not repeat itself and thefts fell from 436 to 315 with residents both locking up their things and police locking up the thieves.

Reported rapes also dropped from five to zero. However, a Roundup analysis last year found that the five reported rape cases in 2014 were actually non-sexual assaults or child molestations.

The department did not amend the 2013 report, but reported no cases of rape in 2014.

Other items of note in the 2014 report include a slight increase in DUI arrests, with officers making 8 percent more arrests for drunk driving.

Domestic violence arrests, by contrast, declined by a whopping 30 percent. Arrests totaled 240 in 2012 and just 171 last year.

Overall, however, officers are making more arrests across the board.

The PPD made 34 percent more juvenile arrests last year from 2013 and 4 percent more adult arrests.

This is all done by 26 officers, even though the department is authorized to for 30 officers. Engler said the department is trying to fill the vacancies.

Sgt. Les Barr will retire at the end of July, which will increase the shortage of officers.

Although arrests are up, crime is down.

But a dropping crime rate is a double-edged sword for the department since it impacts its funding, but also public opinion. The crime rate has held mostly steady since 2008 with one noticeable spike in 2013.

Because the town had maintained a low index crime rate comparable to other Arizona communities of similar size and a much lower rate than the larger Valley area, the number of federal grants has decreased. One of those

Engler said crime remains very low in Payson even compared to similar communities.

“I think it is quite a few things,” he said, attributing that to good police work and an active community.

He said residents are a big part of both solving crimes and preventing them from occurring. When a neighbor spots something suspicious they report it and that often resolves issues before they escalate into major problems.

On the call front, calls for service increased steadily through 2010, when

they hit 28,000 calls. The call volume plunged to 21,000 in 2011. Since then, calls have risen steadily, hitting 22,850 in 2014. While this is still well below 2010 numbers, Engler contributes the small uptick in call volume to growth in the community and more visitors.

In all, PPD dispatch answered 56,300 calls last year, handling not only police calls, but those for Hellsgate, Houston Mesa, Christopher-Kohl’s, Whispering Pines and Beaver Valley fire departments.

A staff of six dispatchers and one supervisor handled that onslaught.

The department has struggled to keep a full staff and recently lost another dispatcher, who resigned. The department anticipates hiring a new dispatcher soon.

The department is also working to hire an additional dispatcher by July 1 so they have two dispatchers on duty during high call times.

Another new hire includes a property custodian to work with property manager Todd Bramlet. Engler decided that instead of replacing a secretary, he would hire the added property manager to meet increasing requirements from the county attorney’s office for digital evidence, including the increasing use of cell phone data in court cases.

In the coming year, Engler said the department will increase its Channel 4 community presentations, which tackle a number of issues. The first presentation, held in the council chambers on heroin, drew a crowd. The presentation in July will tackle identity theft.

Departure of veteran Payson doctors spurs concerns Hospital, Banner officials say impact minimal on existing physician shortage by

Teresa McQuerrey

roundup staff reporter

At the recent Senior Connections Conference, one of the speakers, Dr. Michael Lowe, told the audience a lot of doctors are leaving the area.

The remark spurred concern that the area’s ongoing shortage of primary care doctors may get worse — at least in the short term — in the wake of a proposed merger between the Mogollon Health Alliance and Banner Health Systems, which plans to assume control of Payson Regional Medical Center in August. Banner also operates all the medical centers and clinics for the University of Arizona.

However, PRMC officials say to their knowledge only two doctors are actually leaving and a third is retiring. Jennifer Dumbolton and Chris LeSueur are moving from the area, and Michael Salwitz is retiring.

PRMC officials say most of the other doctors with existing contracts with Community

Health Systems plan to sign new contracts with Banner, which they say would allow for the smooth continuation of services.

Reportedly, most of the current hospital administrators also plan to stay on when Banner takes over.

Jim Brannon, CEO of Banner Medical Group, weighed in on potential concerns of area residents about the number of doctors available to serve the community.

“The Payson community is important to Banner Health, and we know that the community has had a shortage of physicians for some time.

“Our goal in building a more significant presence in Payson is to bring more health care providers to support both primary care and specialty health care needs of the community.

“We are working diligently with the existing providers who plan to stay in Payson as well as recruiting providers from outside of the community to support our mission of providing excellent

Dr. Chris LeSueur and Dr. Jennifer Dumbolton

patient care.”

Arizona in general has a shortage of doctors. A recent national study by Betterdoctor.com ranked Phoenix the seventh worst city in the country when it comes to the doctor/population ratio.

The shortage remains especially acute in rural areas like Payson, where communities have a hard time recruiting even primary care doctors — much less specialists.

The University of Arizona medical school has long specialized in rural medicine and recruiting doctors for underserved areas, which could in the long run provide another advantage for Rim Country given the close BannerUniversity of Arizona connection.

However, at least in the short term, Payson is losing three vet-

eran physicians.

Payson Healthcare Manage­ ment will soon be saying goodbye to two longtime Payson medical providers. After July 31, Jennifer Dumbolton, D.O. and Chris LeSueur, D.O. are leaving the community to focus on their personal interests and families, reports Mindy Strickling with PRMC. Dr. Jennifer Dumbolton

Dumbolton has spent the last seven years taking care of patients at the Rim Country Family Care clinic as a family medicine specialist. She plans to shift to medical practice in the military. After four years on active duty, 12 years in the reserves and 12 years working in

the Department of the Army, she is returning to her military roots to work for the Veterans Affairs program in Kansas.

Time for family will continue to be her priority as Dumbolton has five daughters and seven grandchildren. She enjoys travel, and says her husband is “the best travel partner ever!” She enjoys socializing, and can often be found at community events with the friends she has made in Payson.

“This is a warm and welcoming community and I have made many friends whom I will miss.

More importantly, I have enjoyed my practice and working with and for my patients. No one works in a vacuum in this profession; it has been a pleasure to have the support of my staff, which is wonderful to work with. The support of my colleagues in and out of the hospital has been invaluable. I will truly miss Payson and hope to return one day,” said Dr. Dumbolton.

Dr. Chris LeSueur

A third generation native of Arizona, LeSueur began practicing medicine in Payson in 1997 and joined the team of Payson Healthcare Management in 1999.

He has served the Rim Country community from the Payson Healthcare Specialists office on

Main Street for the past 16 years.

LeSueur is a father of five sons and 13 grandchildren. He is committed to his family and will be moving to New Mexico to begin the next chapter in his career.

In addition to his current practice, he served as medical supervisor for the Department of Cardiopulmonary Respiratory Services and Infection Control.

He was also appointed physician adviser in 1998 for Payson Regional Medical Center, a position he currently still holds.

“PRMC sincerely thanks both of these physicians for their many years of wonderful service to the residents of Payson and we wish them luck in their future endeavors,” said Lance Porter, chief executive officer of PRMC. “They will both be greatly missed.” Arrangements are being made to provide continuous care for the clinic’s patients.”

For more information, call the Rim Country Family Care clinic at (928) 474-2888 or Payson Healthcare Specialists at (928) 472-3478.

Dr. Michael Salwitz

Dr. Michael Salwitz retires from his practice with Banner on Aug. 15, 2015. Busy wrapping up his work, Salwitz was not available for comment about his future plans.

Ceremony recalls firefighters’ deaths in 1990 Dude Fire by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

On Thursday 25 years ago, six wildland firefighters died battling the Dude Fire north of Payson near Bonita Creek Estates.

Last Saturday, the Northern Gila County Historical Society, Girl Scouts and local firefighters held a ceremony at the Rim Country Museum to commemorate the anniversary.

“These who died became the symbol of the greatest of all truths: We live because others gave their lives for us,” one Girl Scout read from a booklet on the fire.

Payson Fire Battalion Chief Dan Bramble said he was in the eighth grade when the Dude Fire happened and he can still remember the giant convective column of smoke in the sky east of town.

On June 25, 1990, a crew of five inmates and their supervisor from the state prison in Perryville was cutting a fire line in Walk Moore Canyon when erratic winds pushed the fire toward the crew, overtaking them before they could flee.

“I didn’t fully understand the magnitude of the sacrifice that day in June 25 years ago, but as a firefighter today, it is a sobering and poignant reminder every day when I come to work that it is a dangerous job and we need to do everything that we can to prevent

ever having to add another name to this plaque of 10 names. We don’t ever want to have another fatality from wildland fire in Rim County.”

Below a statute of a wildland firefighter outside the Rim Country Museum is a plaque engraved with the names of firefighters that have died fighting forest fires in the area. They are: Roberts Fire, June 15, 1961, Chuck Cochrane Hatchery Fire, June 21, 1961, Constantine “Corky” Kodz and Arthur Goodnow Horton Fire, July 10, 1989, Ernie Cachini Dude Fire, June 26, 1990, Sandra Bachman, James Denny, Curtis Springfield, James Ellis, Joseph Chacon, Alex Contreras Gary Roberts, U.S. Forest Service fire prevention officer, said at the time, the Dude Fire was the largest wildfire in Arizona history, growing to 24,000 acres over 37.5 square miles.

“All of us play a part, that if we are careful with fire, that people don’t have to put their lives on the line, Roberts said.

Since that deadly blaze 25 years ago, experts and firefighters have drawn lessons from the Dude Fire, making improvements in everything from communica-

“It is our hope that we have

learned enough to never have to add another name to this plaque.”

Sandy Carson, president of the

historical society, said they hold a ceremony on the Dude Fire every five years. This time, member

Jeanne Casella suggested they incorporate the local Girl Scouts to help.

Although he only took office in January, the Arizona Supreme Court Thursday appointed Tim Wright presiding judge of Gila County.

Wright had served as Payson’s town attorney for four years until voters elected him the Division II judge in Gila County Superior Court. He replaced Judge Robert Duber, who retired after serving in Gila County for 28 years.

Recently, Division I Judge Peter Cahill retired after a 40-year legal career in Gila County, leaving the presiding judge position

open. The Arizona Supreme Court, which has the responsibility of selecting each county’s presiding judge, selected Wright to a three-year term as presiding judge.

“Judge Wright has devoted his entire legal career to public service,” said Chief Justice Scott Bales. “His experience as a county and city prosecutor gives him perspective on public safety. When he was town attorney, the town council, its boards, and staff relied on him for legal guidance. This background provides a solid foundation for the role of presiding judge.”

Since 1996, Wright has served the people of Arizona, first as deputy county attorney

in Gila County, then as senior assistant city prosecutor for the City of Peoria and then with the Payson legal department from 2002 until his appointment to the superior court.

As presiding judge, Wright will take on extra duties and serve as the chief executive officer of the courts in Gila County, overseeing all aspects of court business, including financial management. Wright will oversee case assignments and help set the court calendar and monitor the performance of the courts to ensure that cases are processed in a timely manner.

Wright earned his undergraduate

Whoever is selected will complete the remainder of Cahill’s four-year term, which began in 2012.

In the interim, Judges Robert Duber, Wright, Gary Scales and Commissioner J.D. Flake will share in covering Cahill’s calendar until a new judge comes in.

PSWID 2014 Water Quality Report

Spanish (Espanol) Este informe contiene informacion muy importante sobre la calidad de su agua potable. Por favor lea este informe o comuniquese con alguien que pueda traducir la informacion.

Is my water safe?

We are pleased to present this year’s Annual Water Quality Report (Consumer Confidence Report) as required by the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). This report is designed to provide details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to standards set by regulatory agencies. This report is a snapshot of last year’s water quality. We are committed to providing you with information because informed customers are our best allies. Last year, we conducted tests for over 80 contaminants. We only detected 16 of those contaminants, and found only 2 at a level higher than the EPA allows. As we informed you at the time, our water temporarily exceeded drinking water standards.

(For more information see the section labeled Violations at the end of the report.)

Do I need to take special precautions?

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Water Drinking Hotline (800-426-4791).

Where does my water come from?

The Pine-Strawberry Water Improvement District (PSWID) is supplied exclusively by ground water pumped from the district’s 26 wells, which draw from the Lower Verde watershed. The water is treated with chlorine as a preventative disinfectant, stored in a series of storage tanks and then pumped through a complex delivery system by use of booster pumps and pressure tanks through main transmission lines and service connections.

Source water assessment and its availability The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) evaluates all water sources that provide to the public. The ADEQ issued PSWID sources a low risk designation indicating “most source water protection measures are already in place or the hydrogeology is such that the source water protection will have little impact on protection.” You can obtain a Source Water Assessment Report from the ADEQ at 1110 W. Washington St. Phoenix, AZ 85007 or visit www.azdeq. gov for more information.

Why are there contaminants in my drinking water?

Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity: microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, that may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife; inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial, or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming; pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses; organic Chemical Contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems; and radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.

How can I get involved?

Your comments and suggestions are always welcome. Please contact PSWID with any questions, suggestions or comments at (928) 476-4222 or www.pswid.org. For our public meeting schedule, please visit the website.

Description of Water Treatment Process Your water is treated by disinfection. Disinfection involves the addition of chlorine or other disinfectant to kill dangerous bacteria and microorganisms that may be in the water. Disinfection is considered to be one of the major public health advances of the 20th century.

Water Conservation Tips Did you know that the average U.S. household uses approximately 400 gallons of water per day or 100 gallons per person per day? Luckily, there are many low-cost and no-cost ways to conserve water. Small changes can make a big difference – try one today and soon it will become second nature.

• Take short showers - a 5 minute shower uses 4 to 5 gallons of water compared to up to 50 gallons for a bath.

• Shut off water while brushing your teeth, washing your hair and shaving and save up to 500 gallons a month.

• Use a water-efficient showerhead. They’re inexpensive, easy to install, and can save you up to 750 gallons a month.

• Run your clothes washer and dishwasher only when they are full. You can save up to 1,000 gallons a month.

• Water plants only when necessary.

• Fix leaky toilets and faucets. Faucet washers are inexpensive and take only a few minutes to replace. To check your toilet for a leak, place a few drops of food coloring in the tank and wait. If it seeps into the toilet bowl without flushing, you have a leak. Fixing it or replacing it with a new, more efficient model can save up to 1,000 gallons a month.

• Adjust sprinklers so only your lawn is watered. Apply water only as fast as the soil can absorb it and during the cooler parts of the day to reduce evaporation.

• Teach your kids about water conservation to ensure a future generation that uses water wisely. Make it a family effort to reduce next month’s water bill!

• Visit www.epa.gov/watersense for more information.

Cross Connection Control Survey The purpose of this survey is to determine whether a cross-connection may exist at your home or business. A cross connection is an unprotected or improper connection to a public water distribution system that may cause contamination or pollution to enter the system. We are responsible for enforcing cross-connection control regulations and insuring that no contaminants can, under any flow conditions, enter the distribution system. If you have any of the devices listed below please contact us so that we can discuss the issue, and if needed, survey your connection and assist you in isolating it if that is necessary.

Water Quality Data Table

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The table below lists all of the drinking water contaminants that we detected during the calendar year of this report. Although many more contaminants were tested, only those substances listed below were found in your water. All sources of drinking water contain some naturally occurring contaminants. At low levels, these substances are generally not harmful in our drinking water. Removing all contaminants would be extremely expensive, and in most cases, would not provide increased protection of public health. A few naturally occurring minerals may actually improve the taste of drinking water and have nutritional value at low levels. Unless otherwise noted, the data presented in this table is from testing done in the calendar year of the report. The EPA or the State requires us to monitor for certain contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants do not vary significantly from year to year, or the system is not considered vulnerable to this type of contamination.

As such, some of our data, though representative, may be more than one year old. In this table you will find terms and abbreviations that might not be familiar to you. To help you better understand these terms, we have provided the definitions below the table.

Typical Source Corrosion of household plumbing systems; Erosion of natural deposits Corrosion of household plumbing systems; Erosion of natural deposits

Violations and Exceedances Alpha emitters Certain minerals are radioactive and may emit a form of radiation known as alpha radiation. Some people who drink water containing alpha emitters in excess of the MCL over many years may have an increased risk of getting cancer.

We constantly monitor for various contaminants in the water supply to meet all regulatory requirements. On May 6, 2014, we monitored for adjusted gross alpha (alpha emitter) which yielded a concentration of 15.2 pCi/L, which exceeds the maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 15 pCi/L. We then returned to increase monitoring of quarterly sampling starting in September 2014 through February 2015. All 4 quarters of samples were below the MCL of 15 pCi/L. Arsenic Some people who drink water containing arsenic in excess of the MCL over many years could experience skin damage or problems with their circulatory system, and may have an increased risk of getting cancer. The original arsenic sample collected on May 6, 2014, yielded an arsenic concentration of 12 ppb, which exceeds the maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 10 ppb. A repeat sample was taken on June 16, 2014, which yielded a result of 1.4 ppb which is below the MCL for arsenic. Therefore; no further testing was required per ADEQ. Unit Descriptions Term ug/L ppm

Source Water Protection Tips NA Protection of drinking water is everyone’s responsibility. You can help protect your community’s drinking water source ND in several ways: NR • Eliminate excess use of lawn and garden fertilizers and pesticides – they contain hazardous chemicals that can reach RAA your drinking water source.

• Pick up after your pets.

• If you have your own septic system, properly maintain your system to reduce leaching to water sources or consider Important Drinking Water Definitions connecting to a public water system.

Term • Dispose of chemicals properly; take used motor oil to a recycling center.

• Volunteer in your community. Find a watershed or wellhead protection organization in your community and volunteer MCLG to help. If there are no active groups, consider starting one. Use EPA’s Adopt Your Watershed to locate groups in your community, or visit the Watershed Information Network’s How to Start a Watershed Team.

• Organize a storm drain stenciling project with your local government or water supplier. Stencil a message next to the MCL street drain reminding people “Dump No Waste - Drains to River” or “Protect Your Water.” Produce and distribute a flyer for households to remind residents that storm drains dump directly into your local water body.

Additional Information for Lead If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. Pine-Strawberry Water Improvement District is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

Exchange program honors principal by

Edie Miller

international exchange coordinator

The EF High School Exchange Program relies on the support of the school districts and high schools that host the students each year.

EF has promoted global awareness through student exchange for more than 50 years.

Once again Payson High School and the community has been an integral part in the cultural exchange for two young ladies.

Recently Brian Mabb, Payson High School principal, was presented a certificate of appreciation on behalf of EF. During the presentation, he took time to question these girls about their time at the school and the community.

Mabb found out that Svenja Rohde, from Germany, hosted by Garrett and Catherine Goldman and family, said she had made so many friends, loved her teachers and the awesome classes where she learned so many new things.

She enjoyed the sports programs and played on the soccer and track teams as well as the cheer squad.

“Payson rocks,” she said.

Karoline Harrer, from Austria, said she spent the second semester in Payson and was hosted by Steve and Wendy DeSanto.

“I know that a lot of things changed for me here,” she said.

“I changed a lot. I tried so many new things here and opened up for a lot of new stuff. I think I really understand the American culture a lot more and I have to say that sometimes I was challenged because of culture differences. Now I can say that more or

At the beginning I thought was a little strange, but now is my second home. These unknown people who picked me up at the airport are now my family and I love them dearly. I seriously have to say it was great to be a Longhorn.”

Karoline set out from the beginning to just try everything put before her and she enjoyed every minute of her time with her host family during her short five months in Payson.

Both Svenja and Karoline had many opportunities to travel to new and interesting places and events with the school field trips

and with their host families and friends.

A former EF student recently wrote, “We are all different races, cultures and languages, but finally we are all the same and the memories in our hearts will give us strength and get us going along the path of life.”

So it is with deep gratitude the local organizers thank the Payson Unified School District, Dr. Wyman, members of the school board, Principal Mabb, the administration and teachers, coaches, host families and all who have been instrumental in the support of these two exchange students during the past school year.

Ponderosa Bible Church begins outreach to seniors Ponderosa Bible Church is entering a new phase of its growth — beginning a concerted outreach to unchurched senior citizens.

“We are doing what few established churches are willing to do,” says senior pastor, Dr. Joe Falkner.

While most churches would consider outreach to seniors a step backward for a church, Ponderosa Bible Church is actively trying to reach them.

Like most churches, Ponderosa has focused on reaching younger members for fear the church would die out if there was too much emphasis on reaching senior citizens. The church has developed strong children and youth ministry programs and will continue to reach out to young families. However, church leaders recently realized the importance of reaching out to senior citizens and are working hard to develop programs that will meet the spiritual and physical needs of those in older age brackets.

Falkner observed, “We were already known as the ‘old people’s church’ because we offer a traditional music service as well as contemporary. I did not want to add to the ‘old church’ reputation, because society tends to see that age group as

irrelevant and useless. In spite of the views of society, our population is aging, and now those who are over 55 are the new ‘in’ group in terms of numbers.

Unfortunately, most churches still do not want to reach out to them. At Ponderosa, we feel that this is something we must do.”

Many seniors in Payson are already active members of churches, but there are some who because of lack of transportation cannot attend a church.

Because of this need, the church recently bought a van that is handicapped accessible and will begin picking up seniors who need a way to church. In addition, the church will be adding to its “Servants” program, which helps widows and elderly with home upkeep and tasks they can no longer do themselves.

“We are not trying to do the work of the Senior Center or other groups that meet the physical needs of seniors. Our work is primarily to meet the spiritual needs of seniors and provide them with support and encouragement from a loving church family,” Dr. Falkner concluded. “In some ways, we are preparing them for their final exams, spiritually speaking.”

“It would have been fun but it’s the first year the school is offering sports and they don’t offer the major I’m interested in, so I wouldn’t have been able to get the classes I needed to start the career I want,” she said. “And it wasn’t the amount of money I needed because out-of-state tuition is so expensive.”

roundup sports editor

Cori Barnett starred in three sports for four years at Payson High School.

She capped off her career with a strong senior season in volleyball, girls basketball and softball.

But she didn’t focus solely on her athletic career.

No, she stood out in the classroom and in the community, as well.

And it was Barnett’s success in all areas as a high school senior that earned her recognition as an Arizona All-American by the Dairy Council of Arizona and the Arizona Coaches Association. She was one of 20 student-athletes in the state and the only one from Payson honored in the banquet held June 6 at American Leadership Academy in Phoenix.

Barnett finished her four years of high school with a 3.8 grade point average on a 4.0 scale.

To be eligible, graduating senior student-athletes had to have a 3.0 or higher GPA, be involved in community service, and receive multiple letters of recommendation, which she received from softball head coach Curtis Johnson, high school principal Brian Maab and PHS athletic director Jennifer White.

Barnett, a member of the National Honor Society, helped with a Little League Clinic and volunteered to help kindergarten students at Payson Elementary School with math and English.

She also spent about 15 hours ringing the bell for the Salvation Army’s fundraising efforts last

Christmas season.

She plans to stay in Payson to attend Gila Community College and study in the nursing program run by Eastern Arizona College before transferring to a fouryear school for her bachelor’s degree with plans to become a nurse practitioner.

Barnett and the others being honored at the banquet each spoke for a few minutes.

“I just said it was an honor to receive the award,” Barnett said. “And I thanked my coaches for their dedication and their will, because they wanted to help their athletes succeed. And I thanked my teammates and my family because they were just there for me every step of the way and gave me all their support, no matter what decision I made.”

Barnett decided to stay home to attend

days playing three sports a year.

The center fielder made the Division 3 All-State First Team in softball this season; helping the Longhorns set a school record for wins (34-2) and reach the state championship game.

“I’ll miss all three sports but softball is the one I’m going to miss most,” she said. “Volleyball is my favorite sport, but I felt like the softball team was like my family away from family; just how we bonded. It’s going to be really fun to watch them next year because I think they have what it takes.”

Action in the Payson Parks, Recreation and Tourism Department’s Coach Pitch Baseball League for boys and girls ages 6-8 is heating up along with the temperature about midway through its six-week schedule.

Games are played Monday-Thursday at Rumsey Park through the middle of next month. The town also runs a T-Ball League for 4-5-year-old boys and girls. The two leagues feature 11 teams with 120 players.

Arizona Game and Fish This week, Dean Linne, using a bow, snagged a record flathead catfish in Roosevelt Lake, weighing in at a monstrous 60 pounds, with a length of 47 inches.

News from other Rim Country waters: ROOSEVELT LAKE – (Lake elevation 2,099 feet, 46 percent) June 19 report from Jim Goughnour of Rim Country Custom Rods: The water temperature in the lake continues to be in the high 70s to low 80s. As the ambient temperatures in Tonto Basin increase, many anglers begin to night fish. This means getting on the water around 5 p.m. and fishing until midnight or later. Evening fishing on Roosevelt Lake is very popular during the summer. Some of the best bass fishing of the year is happening right now on Roosevelt Lake.

COMMUNITY FISHING WATERS – At Green Valley Lakes (Payson), fishing for trout should be slowing down since stockings wrapped up in May. However, fishing for bass, bluegill and crappie is good. Anglers using worms and meal worms under a small bobber are enjoying plenty of action. Also try small plastic or marabou jigs, plastic worms, and dark-colored nymphs or

streamers.

CREEKS BELOW THE MOGOLLON RIM –

The following creeks are being stocked weekly right now: Tonto Creek, Christopher Creek, Haigler Creek, East Verde River.

MOGOLLON RIM LAKES BEAR CANYON LAKE – Fishing is good for stocked rainbow trout. The lake was stocked last week.

BLACK CANYON LAKE – Fishing is fair for stocked rainbow trout. The lake was stocked several weeks ago. The lake level is very low at 11.4 feet below full, and the boat ramp is gated off for safety reasons, making it very difficult to launch a boat.

CHEVELON LAKE – Fishing is good for holdover rainbow trout and wild brown trout. The access to Chevelon Lake is difficult, requiring a long, steep hike or ATV ride down to the dam area.

WILLOW SPRINGS LAKE – Fishing is good. Anglers have been catching trout on green and garlic PowerBait. The lake was stocked last week and will be stocked again this week with rainbow trout.

WOODS CANYON LAKE – Fishing is good.

The lake was stocked last week with rainbow trout and will be stocked again this week.

Payson Roundup LOCAL Friday, June 26, 2015

Dehydration can be deadly, experts warn

9A

WEATHERREPORT Forecast by the National Weather Service

by

Teresa McQuerrey

roundup staff reporter

Rim Country’s high temperatures of 96 to 99 degrees this week didn’t qualify us for the National Weather Service’s excessive heat warning issued for Phoenix, with highs over 110.

Still, even here, heat can pose a danger.

For instance, the elevation that keeps the temperature down also makes the sun more intense.

“It’s particularly dangerous for folks that either have outdoor occupations or that do outdoor work or even are exercising in the heat of the day, if they haven’t ‘cameled’ up with water before hand,” said Will Humble, MPH, director of the Division of Health Policy and Program Evaluation at the University of Arizona’s Health Sciences Center.

Arizona emergency department data shows that in 2014 more than 1,400 Arizonans went to an emergency room with heat sickness, according to the Center for Population Health and Discovery at the Arizona Health Sciences Center. Statistics show that 12,743 Arizonans visited emergency rooms and were diagnosed as dehydrated. In 2013, there were 101 deaths from overexposure to

heat. On average, from 2001 to 2013, more than 120 people have died every year in Arizona from the heat, Humble said.

Humble notes that heat is the No. 1 weather-related killer in Arizona and the United States, more than tornadoes, hurricanes, floods and wildfires combined.

“It’s hard to take a picture of heat, so it gets less attention than things like floods, lightning, hurricanes and tropical storms,” said Humble, former director of the Arizona Department of Health Services. “The Arizona heat is a lot more than a nuisance — it’s dangerous and lethal.”

Experts remind everyone to stay hydrated, wear light-colored clothing and keep your head cooler with a hat.

Symptoms of dehydration to watch for include headache, thirst and muscle cramps.

The Arizona Division of Occupational Safety and Health (ADOSH) reminds Arizona employers and workers of the hazards associated with working outdoors in high temperatures. The three main factors for employers and employees to remember are: Water, Rest and Shade.

When it comes to water, the rule of thumb for outside working in the heat is at least

one 8-ounce cup every 15 minutes during the entire work shift. Employers should provide sufficient cool drinking water for employees and tell workers not to wait until they’re thirsty to drink Ensure that employees take adequate breaks, a minimum of five minutes at a time, in a shaded area every half an hour to an hour.

If showing heat-related symptoms, get to a cool, shaded area, loosen clothing, and provide cool drinking water. If necessary, call 911, and keep the person as comfortable as possible while waiting for medical assistance to arrive.

Symptoms of heat exhaustion include headaches, dizziness, weakness, moist skin, mood changes and an upset stomach. The more serious heat stroke causes dry, hot skin with no sweating, mental confusion and seizures or convulsions.

Consider an alternate work schedule, stay out of the direct sun with umbrellas or a shade covering, use cooling fans and avoid alcohol, caffeinated drinks or heavy meals while you are in the sun.

Make sure to put on sunscreen at least half an hour before going outside, giving the protection time to soak into the skin.

The monsoon typically delivers half of Rim Country’s rainfall. This photo from last year shows monsoon clouds over Woods Canyon.

Monsoon rains may come early this year From page 1A ground,” he said.

The 30 percent chance of thundershowers starting on Sunday would probably drop moisture on those areas closest to the Rim, including Christopher Creek and Kohl’s Ranch instead of the Payson area, said Vonderheide.

The meteorologist said

a fun computer app to use to find where lightning strikes is Lightning Maps.org.

“It shows lightning strikes in real time,” he said, “It’s a global ham radio network.”

Yet he also said the temperatures would remain high, only mitigated by the cloud cover.

The best news? Vonderheide said El Niño is going, the warm-

ing of sea-surface temperatures in the Eastern Pacific that affects weather globally.

“It’s intensifying and it’s expected to go into November and December,” he said.

Although El Niño brings wetter weather, it also brings warmer winters, so Vonderheide said skiers might not be so happy this winter.

At the moment, the Salt River is running 55 percent below normal and the Verde River about 30 percent above normal. Roosevelt Lake is just 46 percent full.

Massive Lake Mead on the Colorado River is just 37 percent full, raising the prospect of water rationing in the west.

Lake Powell is still 52 percent full.

Home Depot managers save co-worker’s life From page 1A several shocks. By the time the helicopter arrived to transport him to a Scottsdale hospital, Shaw was talking again, said Dan Bramble, Payson Fire battalion chief.

Shaw’s son reported to Turco Thursday afternoon that Shaw is still at the hospital, but in stable condition. He had suffered a heart attack.

He said Shaw is very emotional and grateful for his co-workers’ quick actions to save his life.

Shaw plans to nominate the four supervisors for Home Depot’s Angel Award and Bramble said the PFD would also like to recognize their efforts.

For Kane, who has worked at the Payson Home Depot for nine years, this is the first time someone has had a heart attack or

needed CPR in the store.

Bramble said this event shows the vital importance of knowing CPR. The Mogollon Health Alliance offers free CPR training for interested residents. The next training is Tuesday, Aug. 4 from 6 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at Messinger Payson Funeral Home, 901 S. Westerly Drive. There is no cost to attend, but call (928) 472-2588 to register and get a booklet on CPR.

Three airlifted to Valley after highway crash by

NEW FRIENDS AT THE PARK

Photographer DJ Craig captured this image of a couple of visitors to Green Valley Park making friends with a pot-bellied pig. The park offers a perfect summer escape all weekend long.

Three people were flown to Valley hospitals Tuesday after their vehicle rolled south of Sunflower.

The male driver lost control of the 1988 Cadillac passenger vehicle while traveling south on State Route 87, milepost 218, at 9:30 a.m.

For reasons still under investigation, the vehicle ran off the road and overturned.

The driver was thrown from the car.

Firefighters had to extricate a male backseat passenger.

Initial reports didn’t indicate whether a third passenger, a female, was also thrown from the vehicle.

Paramedics airlifted everyone to a hospital in the Phoenix area where they were admitted for treatment of injuries, according to the Department of Public Safety.

Forest Service relies on volunteers to help protect forest From page 1A program, along with special people.

Enter Pat Shelton and Anna Graves.

A surprise woodworker: Pat Shelton.

Muise didn’t believe Shelton could handle a saw or a hammer and especially not a router — all tools needed to build and maintain the endless signs scattered about the Tonto Forest.

“Chelsea (Muise) asked me if I could build signs,” said Shelton. “At first she didn’t believe me.”

A wiry, energetic, friendly, Texan with gray-flecked hair and a slow drawl, Shelton wields a circular saw and a router with practiced grace.

“In February of 2011, Chelsea brought me out (to the shed). I had no tools, except a circular saw, hammer, drill and router — so I went to work.”

Shelton astounded Muise with her output and attention to detail.

Since then, Shelton has helped to redo signs at trailheads, message boards and information bulletins.

Shelton attributes her skills to a stingy husband and a fixer-upper house, which forced her to learn how to work with wood.

Anna Graves greets visitors at the Payson Ranger Station.

“I started in 1967 when we bought an old house in Dallas,” she said. “I wanted a new bath vanity — so I bought a new

circular saw ... I was so afraid of turning on that circular saw!”

But she did and ended up redoing everything from the floors to the walls — except for the plumbing and electrical.

She hired professionals for that. Shelton said the guys at the lumberyard would answer all of her questions, helping her a lot. She also said she’s really good at learning.

But she’s great at teaching, too.

Shelton spent her 25-year career teaching anatomy, physiology and neuro-biology at both the high school and community college levels.

She said her ability to innovate in the classroom has spilled over to her work with the Forest Service.

Shelton heads up the Restoration, Improvement and Maintenance group that makes all the signs for the forest.

A big job.

Shelton said her team evolved after spending a year with Muise and a couple of other die-hard volunteers cleaning up the forest.

She kept telling Muise that the signs looked terrible. That’s when Muise dropped her off at the shed with a few tools and said, “Go for it.”

Yet Shelton prefers to say that her greatest contribution to the volunteer effort is her hospitality and work ethic.

Each month, when the volunteers meet for their regular meeting and potluck, Shelton makes sure all the food arrives and the tables are set up.

She easily laughs with the staff and volunteers and treats her team like family.

Jerry Farr, one of Shelton’s most dedicated and vocal volunteers, said the first day he volunteered with Shelton, he called her a slave driver.

“Because she’s so focused,” said Farr with a twinkle in his eye. “She wants to know how you’re doing,” he said, his voice softening. “She’s a very caring person.”

Anna Graves — She just loves people.

Stop by the front desk of the Payson Ranger District any Tuesday and Graves will welcome you with a chipper attitude.

The petite blond volunteer helped found the current volunteer program when she moved to Payson a few years back.

Graves gravitated to the Visitors Information Services team as it utilized the skills she learned volunteering at

the Sandia Ranger District on the Cibola National Forest and she just gets tickled at what people say and do.

“I meet all kinds of people,” she said.

“You never know what sort of questions they will ask.”

She laughed as she related the funniest question she has ever had.

“They asked, ‘At what altitude do the deer turn into elk?’ It was really hard not to laugh at that one,” she said.

Graves originally volunteered because friends of hers volunteered when she lived in New Mexico, but in Payson, she found her group of friends.

“When we first started, we’d get together for everybody’s birthdays,” said Graves.

She said the group has now gotten so big they meet once a month for meetings and a potluck.

But Graves loves the visitors.

“I had one visitor ask me if when they got to the campsite, a ranger would be there to help them light a fire,” she said with a giggle.

It wasn’t hard to understand why Forest Service staff decided to start the volunteer program with people like Shelton and Graves at the core.

UA, Phoenix expand biomedical campus The University of Arizona, and the City of Phoenix have entered into an agreement to expand the university’s presence on the Phoenix Biomedical Campus.

The agreement approved by the Phoenix City Council on Wednesday calls for the university, Banner Health, and any potential development partners, to develop up to five acres on the biomedical campus aligned with the city council-adopted Comprehensive Master Plan.

The agreement includes development of an academic and outpatient primary care clinic employing cutting edge technology.

Banner and UA will jointly develop the 40,000- to 60,000-squarefoot clinic.

Banner is also in the final stages of negotiating a merger with the Mogollon Health Alliance, which will give it control of the Payson Regional Medical Center.

Payson officials are also negotiating with the UA to perhaps operate a telemedicine center in Payson, as part of a planned university campus.

In Phoenix, “The University of Arizona has been a critical

and transformative partner in the development of the Phoenix Biomedical Campus,” said Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton.

“This agreement will move that partnership forward by advancing the academic medical enterprise of the school, advancing science, creating jobs and enhancing medical care for Phoenix residents.”

Leading efforts to develop the biosciences in downtown Phoenix, the UA College of Medicine – Phoenix opened its doors in historic buildings in 2007. Since then, the medical school has graduated more than 250 new physicians and has built close to a million square feet of capital projects on the downtown campus. The UA has invested nearly $450 million in building projects on the campus.

“These new projects will expand the Phoenix Biomedical Campus, enhancing its contributions to both the biosciences and the vibrancy of the Phoenix and statewide economy,” said Ann Weaver Hart, president of the UA. “We are continuing to execute the UA plan of training superior physicians and other health care pro-

fessionals, advancing biomedical research and health care practice, and serving our community.”

According to a recent study

by Tripp Umbach, the UA’s presence on the Phoenix Biomedical Campus had an impact of $961 million in 2013. In addition, the employment impact for 2013 was 7,185 jobs with tax revenue of $44 million. At full build-out, the UA’s presence is expected to have an economic impact of more than

$3.1 billion per year.

The agreement also calls for Phoenix and the UA to develop an updated master plan for the area, focusing on uses, density and proposed development schedules.

Phoenix will provide the UA a no-cost exclusive 10-year lease option for development of the property.

The UA’s presence on the Phoenix Biomedical Campus includes the College of Medicine

– Phoenix, College of Nursing, College of Pharmacy, Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health and the Eller College of Management.

Additional programs on the campus include Alumni Association, the UA Foundation and Admissions. Additional programs are exploring an expansion to Phoenix.

The UA College of Medicine – Phoenix began in 2007 in the

historic buildings that once were Phoenix Union High School, as well as the Arizona Biomedical Collaborative research building.

In 2012, the 220,000-squarefoot Health Sciences Education Building opened. The UA Cancer Center at Dignity Health St. Joseph’s outpatient center is set to open on the campus in August; while the 10-story Biosciences Partnership research building is scheduled to open by 2017.

A. Evan Lloyd takes his oath to become a member of the bar and will join his father’s firm.

Family affair Son joins Art Lloyd’s law firm by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

On the heels of another multi-million-dollar civil win for a client, Payson’s Lloyd Law Group has also recently added a new lawyer to the firm.

Art Lloyd announced his son, A. Evan Lloyd, joined the firm after passing the Arizona Bar Exam.

Evan graduated from the Arizona Summit Law School.

Evan joins his father almost 30 years to the week after Art was sworn in to practice law in 1985.

Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Mark Aceto swore in Evan during a break in a recent civil trial where Art was representing a family against a Valley nursing home for abuse and neglect of one of its patients.

Art went on to win a $16.7 million verdict for the family from a nursing home operator, showing a jury that the company allowed an 86-year-old woman to develop an infected bedsore and falsified medical records to cover up the abuse.

In 2012, Art successfully argued that a Payson health care management company owed a woman $7.3 million after she developed a potentially life-threatening infection that left her in chronic pain after multiple knee surgeries in Payson.

Although new to the firm, Evan is already working with his father on existing cases, including one for a local man accused of stealing ammunition from his employer.

Evan brings diversity to the firm because of his extensive work experience, according to the law firm.

Evan worked in Los Angeles for five years as a recording engineer working with various artists and groups such as Kenny Loggins, the Spice Girls, Black Eyed Peas and Christina Aguilera. He also worked as a sound effects editor on several feature films, including “Pirates of the Caribbean.”

Evan decided to leave the sound business and go into law.

He worked with consumer law firms during law school and will provide similar services at the Lloyd Law Group, working on bankruptcy, consumer fraud and credit issues, along with criminal defense.

Evan and his wife, Allison, have two children, Max and Addison, and make their home in Payson.

An open house and grand re-opening for Lloyd Law Group, P.L.L.C. is in the planning stages and will take place at the office, 113 E. Frontier St. in Payson in the very near future.

Art has no plans to retire.

aroundthe rim Staying fire smart always wise Although those of us who live at the foot of the Mogollon Rim are constantly on the alert for potential forest fires, there was no need to panic this week when billows of smoke filled the skies north of Pine and Strawberry and an electronic smoke warning sign went up in the middle of town.

The smoke was the result of a burnout operation that Coconino National Forest fire specialists were conducting to help reduce forest fuels in the area.

The burnout, officials concurred, would reduce the danger of later forest fires in the area.

Beginning Sunday evening, June 21, the Forest Service issued a smoke advisory that continued through yesterday, Thursday, June 25.

The prediction that heavy smoke would impact our community mostly in the early morning and evening hours proved mostly accurate. Late this week, however, smoke began to die down.

The burnout began after lightning ignited the Horse Tank Fire on June 6 near the intersection of Highway 87 and State Route 260, about six miles north of Strawberry.

The fire’s location morphed into a hot topic of conversation in the post office, markets and watering holes mostly because it is very near the pristine Fossil Creek Wilderness, an 11,500-acre area that is home to more than 30 species of trees and shrubs and in excess Max Foster photo of 100 bird species.

Life doesn’t work that way, Part 3

Life has a way of humbling us when we get overconfident. Some learn early.

Some never learn.

Last week I told you about the loadmaster who went into his aircraft with the manifests in his hand, and came darting back out five seconds after I had told the boys to pull the steps. He was still yelling, “Where’re my manifests!” as he hit the tarmac 11 feet below.

Two broken legs take a while to heal.

I’ve often wondered if he learned anything during all that time. I doubt it.

One of the most instructive things I ever saw where human nature is concerned happened when I was a pre-teen in New London. A mom-and-pop grocery store stood right across the street from our house, one of the few your turn left in town. Naturally, since we were right across the street we got to know the owner well.

During World War II it was almost impossible to buy Jell-O because sugar was Tom Garrett rationed and most Jell-O was packaged and sent to military bases. But one day Mom came back from across the street with a whole grocery bag of Jell-O boxes — and could not stop laughing.

Finally she told us what had happened. It seems that the grocer’s weekly quota of Jell-O was so small that women shoppers were always squabbling over the few boxes he received, so he decided to try a little public relations scheme.

For more than six months he put out no Jell-O. Then he took all the boxes he had saved up and stacked them in his window with a big sign that said: JELL-O! ALL YOU WANT! Guess, what, Johnny?

The same women wouldn’t buy any.

You know why?

Even though they had scrapped over them before, they all said, “Hey! If there’s so much of the stuff why buy it?” So Mom bought us enough Jell-O to last us the rest of the way through the war, and every time we had it for dessert we all laughed our heads off.

But the best one, I think, is the one that happened when I was teaching chemistry in a Texas high school. There were two chemistry teachers, and we each made good use of student aides, who received half a science credit for working in our classrooms. They were good kids and a lot of fun, but kids being kids ...

And chemistry being chemistry ...

We had stuff in our chemical storage rooms that was as dangerous as anything you can imagine. I won’t name it, however; I don’t like giving kids ideas.

One weekend, Jack Sell, the other chemistry teacher, went around back of his classroom and buried some stuff that had become unstable, that being a safer method of getting rid of it than relying on the city disposal squad, about which we had severe doubts when they drove off one day with a gallon bottle of explosives sitting loose on the bed of a flatbed truck.

The next school day Jack’s aide had to mop up a spill and so had a couple of pails of dirty water to empty. Jack wanted them dumped, but not into the tiny sinks on his benches because he was sure they would make a mess of it, so he told his young aide to take them outside one at a time and toss them.

Fair enough, Johnny?

Any ordinary kid would have taken a pail, gone out the main door, and dumped the soapy water on the grass right there.

But not this kid. He came back in about five minutes, still holding the pail, which was now filled with the same dirt and mud that was plastered all over his face.

With eyes the size of sewer covers, he said, “The ground blew up!”

An over-conscientious type, the poor kid had gone around back of the building, seen the nice handy soft spot where Jack had buried the other stuff and had tossed water on it.

BOOM! The kid wasn’t hurt and neither was anything else.

But when it comes to kids?

Expect the unexpected.

aroundthe rim Lightning show to start soon Christopher Creek joined the rest of the northern hemisphere plunging headlong into summer this week. Temperatures nudged up to the high 80s with perhaps a day or two hitting 90. Overnight lows are now in the low 60s. Evenings still cool off early and you can feel that cool air spilling off the Rim and down the canyon.

The teasers were due in toward the end of this week. They’re a bit early this year. Dry lightning precedes the onset of monsoonal storms sparking fires here and there. It won’t be long before there are some dazzling lightning shows banging off the Rim. The last couple of years there have been several reports of folks being struck around Woods Canyon and Willow Springs.

So if your iPhone radar app says there are storms in the area or if you turn on your AM radio and hear loud, popping static, here are some places to get away from: Get off the Rim! Promontory Butte gets hit more than any geographic feature in the state. The campsites at the end of SR 284 are vulnerable as well as the Highline Trail and Christopher Mountain.

Cherries are just crazy this year. There were more cherries than you can shake a stick at on the tree in the backyard. An annual battle was again reenacted this week. It’s a fight with robins that think that tree is their personal juice bar.

Somehow the robins just can’t appreciate the sharing program. The cherries in the very top of the tree are fair game; just leave the low-hanging fruit for me. And another thing, what’s with that pecking, taste-testing thing.

You don’t take a sip of wine and leave the rest of the glass. Just take one and be gone!

CROSSWORD

Foundation down for new fire station Father’s Day is now behind us, and another big celebration is on the horizon. Father’s Day was a huge success for the Snyder family. Three of our five kids were here to wish their dad a Happy Father’s Day with a tasty dinner that included tri-tip cooked to perfection by our son-in-law Jon. Our son Bill Jr., daughter Vicki and our son-in-law Bill traveled from the hot desert of Yuma to be with us in the cool pines.

Our daughter Eileen completed the meal with a great tasting potato salad, and I contributed a huge green salad and strawberry shortcake.

It doesn’t get any better than that; except all the kids couldn’t be here. Our youngest daughter Carolyn lives in Iowa, so the trip was out of the question and our oldest daughter Joanne was unable to get away to join the Snyder Clan. All in all the whole weekend was a joy for us though. Our son-in-law Bill even made time to go the Double D and donate a hat to their very extensive hat collection on the ceiling.

The Village was abuzz with

adult toys running up and down the road and into the forest. Many of the part-time residents came up to escape the heat of the Valley. There were no major incidents and no accidents, thank the Lord. It was a blessing to know that everyone had a good time but also acted responsibly.

Walmart

The other day, my hubby and I were at Walmart and a person came up to us and handed us a piece of paper. On it the headline stated: DO YOU LIKE OUR NEW HANDICAP PARKING? The paper went on to say: “Walmart has found it necessary to remove 60% of our handicap parking. They say they will give us 4 handicap spots, 2 on the north and 2 on the south. They have 26 handicap carts. Why not give us 26 handicap spots, 13 on the north and 13 on the south?

“Please help the handicapped get more spots. Call Walmart @ 1-800-925-6278 or 1-800-925-

1830.”

The paper is not signed, and the ending just says “Thank You.” If you have any comments about this situation, feel free to call those numbers.

Hellsgate Fire Department

The June meeting of the Hellsgate Fire Board was held June 17 at the Tonto Village fire station. Years of service were awarded to Jeffrey Yunkens for 10 years, Rick Heron for 20 years and Wrigley Hobard, 1 year of service. Congratulations to Jeff, Rick and Wrigley. Those of us in the district applaud you for your dedication to the fire department.

Chief Bathke reiterated that there would be no burn permits issued until the Forest Service lifts fire restrictions.

The progress of the new Tonto Village Fire Station is now well underway. The foundation was poured this week.

The beginning of the construc-

tion is exciting to the residents of the Village since it seemed that there was such a long delay.

Birthdays

Danny Cain, co-owner of the Double D Bar and Restaurant, will add another candle to his birthday cake on Friday, June 26. Chad Dupont is another year older June 30. Jake Garret will celebrate his big day Thursday, July 2.

Happy birthday to all of you.

The Jake Saga

The Domino Divas are really disappointed that Jake the hound dog has not howled at the fire station door for a few weeks now.

Maybe he is like most hound dogs in the summer time — they sleep a lot. The Divas keep hoping and still call for him, but to no avail.

result in severe burns and/or trauma to the face and paws of curious pets, even unused fireworks can pose a danger. Many types contain potentially toxic substances, including potassium nitrate, arsenic and other heavy metals.

Loud, crowded fireworks displays are no fun for pets, so please resist the urge to take them to Independence Day festivities.

Instead, keep your little guys safe from the noise in a quiet, sheltered and escape-proof area at home. Being inside is the safest place for them while you are out enjoying the fireworks.

July 5th is the busiest day for animal shelters. You can help change this by having a plan that works best for you and your pets to keep them safe and sound on 4th of July.

KRIM Radio went back on the air this week, after a falling out with KMOG Radio, with which the rock station once shared facilities. Former KMOG manager Blaine Kimball and Payson Councilor and SCOOPS owner Chris Higgins (above) have both broken ties with KMOG to focus on the non-commercial KRIM, as has longtime KMOG news director Stephanie Landers.

KRIM back on the air Non-commercial rock station off airwaves for three weeks after falling out with KMOG by

After a three-week hiatus, KRIM Radio crackled back to life on the Rim Country airwaves Tuesday, running out of a new station with a new outlook.

KRIM had been attached to KMOG for years, operating out of the same location off East Tyler Parkway with many of the same owners and management.

That partnership ended and with it, KRIM lost its ability to broadcast over local FM stations.

The station continued to broadcast online through its website.

Reportedly, KMOG ordered KRIM to clear out the office space it had been using, with a letter from a lawyer warning them not to talk about the rupture or KMOG’s finances. The two radio stations had long cooperated and at one point shared ownership interests.

KMOG owner Mike Farrell said the two stations had a dispute about rent and utility payments, so he asked them to leave. After they moved, he said he gave them two weeks to remove their antenna from the station because it was interfering with the KMOG AM signal, he said. He said KMOG also plans to move its FM antenna.

KRIM general director Blaine Kimball declined comment on Farrell’s remarks, saying he didn’t want to get into a public dispute in the newspaper.

Despite the falling out, KRIM quickly installed a new antenna on the Hillcrest water tank, and KRIM 96.3 was back on the air sooner than board members Chris Higgins and Kimball expected.

Higgins is a Payson Town Council

member. Kimball previously managed KMOG. Higgins, station manager, said he was thrilled to offer top-notch music and broadcasting to listeners once again.

The nonprofit station plays rock from the ’60s through the ’90s and a variety of programs.

The station is now hosted out of a small studio space in Western Village, 1104 S. Beeline Highway, suite A, with room to expand further into the antique store.

Higgins said they are excited to work with Western Village owner Su Malinski, who is open to hosting events in the parking lot.

The DJ booth at the new location looks out onto the Beeline Highway, a “window onto the world,” Higgins said, where DJs can see what is happening in town, which their former location did not offer.

When KRIM first hit the airwaves in 2002, it was the state’s first low power FM radio station.

In the summer of 2013, with KRIM founder Steve Bingham retiring, the station underwent a re-branding with re-structuring of operations and the station’s mission.

Now at its helm are Kimball and Higgins. Kimball has been in the radio business for three decades and was KMOG’s station manager since the early ’90s. He and Higgins are no longer with KMOG. KMOG decided to go in a different direction and needed the extra room at the station so KRIM had to find a new home, Higgins and Kimball said.

“It has been a phenomenal beginning for us,” Kimball said.

“The past two years have shown

KRIM programs • Phanie in the Morning, hosted by Stephanie Landers from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. weekdays.

• Country Crossroads, acoustic Americana and bluegrass songs, hosted by Mazatzal Mike from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Monday.

• Somewhere in Time, a request and dedication program, hosted by Vanda from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Tuesdays and Thursdays.

• Let’s Talk Fishin, a local report of current fishing conditions from angler Tracy Purtee, hosted every Friday at 4 p.m.

• Gerardo Moceri offers updates on Longhorn sports during the school year. us that Rim Country has a real need for what community radio brings to the table. We are excited at the direction we are headed and all we have already accomplished, including the relocation, and look forward to the years ahead.”

Joining Kimball and Higgins in the station’s marketing and administration are Pat Johnson and JoAnn Burrescia.

Stephanie Landers, long a leading personality and news director on KMOG is now with KRIM. Johnson encouraged listeners to check out the station’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts to keep abreast of station and community happenings.

The station’s studio is open to the public Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call (928) 468-5746 or email info@krimfm.com.

Audit probes Indian gaming U.S. Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Chairman of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), highlighted a report released recently by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) entitled: “Indian Gaming: Regulation and Oversight by the Federal Government, States, and Tribes.”

In the report, GAO finds that federal regulators at the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) are not effectively promoting voluntary compliance with federal guidelines concerning the proper handling of money, accuracy of financial statements, and security requirements at Indian casinos.

“The primary role of NIGC is to maintain the health and

integrity of Indian gaming for the benefit of Indian tribes,” said Senator McCain.

“If NIGC continues to rely on Indian casinos to voluntarily comply with federal guidelines, then the Commission must at least improve its state and tribal training and consultation initiatives and develop metrics that assess their effectiveness.”

“This new report calls for improvements in the Commis­ sion’s methods in maintaining the integrity of the gaming system,” said Chairman Barrasso.

“The NIGC should find more effective methods that will ensure all facets of gaming are conducted with accountability and accuracy.”

Other findings from the GAO

report include: • NIGC auditors reported that a quarter of all Indian gaming operations were a “high audit risk.”

• The NIGC has undertaken very few enforcement actions, such as issuing violation notices, since 2010.

• Indian gaming has grown to a $28 billion annual industry, up from $3 billion in gross revenues in 1995.

• Approximately 80 percent of all Indian gaming operations include class III gaming (Las Vegas-style games).

• The NIGC’s budget, which is funded by fees collected from tribes, has grown from $3.3 million in 1995 to $19 million in 2015.
