Cecil Kelly took his 1945 John Deere tractor to the Payson Farmers Market.

The brightly painted green and yellow John Deere tractor sat parked in the space usually occupied by cars.

Each year to celebrate National Farmers Market Week, the Payson Farmers Market invites the local antique tractor buffs to show off their stuff.

The owner of the shiny John Deere, Cecil W. Kelly, lingered nearby, sipping on a cold soda he brought to the Saturday, Aug. 8 market.

Kelly had hung a typed story to the front grill of his 1945 John Deere Model H. “This tractor has been in my family since it came from the factory,” started the story.

Kelly then said his dad was a John Deere dealer in Pawnee, Okla. when he sold the tractor to his brother.

Kelly said his uncle grew wheat and corn and used the Model H for many years to plow and harvest.

At some point, Kelly said his uncle retired the John Deere. Kelly’s father then bought the old Model H from his brother and restored it.

“Before his death in 1986, he gave it to me, Cecil W. Kelly,” wrote

Kelly.

Kelly said he’s not really into attending all of the tractor shows, but he does the local ones.

“I take it to this show here and the county fair and the PineStrawberry show,” he said.

Otherwise, Kelly said, he keeps this special tractor in a garage built specifically to hold it.

Now Kelly plans on passing his tractor onto his son.

“He’s a machinist,” he said.

And his grandson, he said, works in a body shop.

The two will need all the skills they have. It’s not easy keeping the old Model H working.

Kelly described how he took the tractor to Phoenix to repair the starter. In order to finish the job, the repair shop had to improvise by using a starter motor from an old classic car.

“It used the same kind of motor,” said Kelly.

He’s also saved lots of money by doing repairs by himself.

When the brakes went out on the Model H, Kelly pulled off the wheels and replaced the brakes and pads.

“They wanted $900 to fix the brakes,” he said. “I did it for $150.”

All worth the time and effort to Kelly to keep him connected to his roots.

Retirement meltdown looming Average worker has less than $12,000 in retirement savings

The financial advisers now travel to companies of all sizes to explain how to set up employee retirement plans.

“May God have mercy on your soul because I am not sure I can give it to you.”

Those were the words from Robert Burnett, who stared directly at Michael Voden during sentencing Friday. Robert is the brother of Randy Burnett, gunned down two years ago by Voden as Randy tried to retrieve his dog from Voden’s yard.

Friends and supporters of both Burnett and Voden packed a small Payson courtroom to hear Voden’s fate Friday after a jury convicted Voden of manslaughter in May. Superior Court Judge Gary Scales said he did not believe Voden was remorseful or had accepted any responsibility and sen-

tenced Voden to an aggravated term of 17 years in prison.

“That is a life sentence,” several women in the crowd whispered to each other repeatedly. Voden is 73.

Voden’s lawyer, Michael Bernays, said they would appeal and asked that Voden be released on bail while on appeal because staying in jail is endangering his life.

Bernays said Voden should stay at home due to his age, many health concerns and diet.

Gila County Attorney’s Office Chief Deputy Shawn Fuller dismissed that request

Plague of

SMOKE Distant wildfire alarms residents of Rim Country by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

Lightning started a wildfire July 31 near the C.C. Cragin Reservoir.

On Sunday evening, Payson smelled the resulting smoke for the first time. As residents ate dinner, the unmistakable and alarming smell of fire wafted down on the town from the Rim. People complained.

“Thick smoke now and nasty to breathe, even in the house,” said DJ Craig Miller on the Roundup’s Facebook page.

Others had interesting descriptions.

“It looked like a Valley dust storm as it rolled in. Wow!” said Shawn and Marie Raber-Thomas on the Roundup’s Facebook page.

The Forest Service had decided to keep the managed fire (named the General Fire) burning to clear hazardous

Smoke from the General Fire alarmed Rim Country residents Sunday, but it’s only one of a host of low-intensity fires firefighters are managing in Arizona.

Man cited for animal cruelty by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

A Valley man was cited for leaving his dog unattended in a vehicle for more than 30 minutes, according to police.

Nichols Edward Johnston, 34, of Mesa, was charged with cruelty to animals after a passerby noticed at least one dog left in Johnston’s tan Chevy Suburban around noon on Aug. 2 near Chili’s.

The passerby heard at least one dog barking in the vehicle. Although the vehicle had tinted windows and one window was down some four inches, it had sat for 20 to 30 minutes in the sun at the Sawmill Crossing, according to a police log.

The fire department broke into the

vehicle and got the animals out safely, said Police Chief Don Engler.

Engler said it is a good reminder not to leave an animal in a vehicle, especially during the summer months when temperatures inside a car can soar well above 100 degrees.

On average, the Payson Police Department cites about three people every summer for leaving an animal in a vehicle.

Depending on the how long the animal has been in the car and the owner’s attitude, officers decide if they should issue a warning or citation.

Engler said if someone spots an animal left in a vehicle, contact police or the fire department, but do not to break into the vehicle or confront the owner.

BISHOP REALTY

From page 1A as a “farce” because Voden had written to his wife from jail before trial bragging about how many pushups and pullups he could do without ever complaining about the food.

“There is nothing wrong with Voden,” he said. “This is, in my opinion, the state’s opinion, this is just another excuse for him to have another hearing.”

Scales continued with the sentencing Friday and set a hearing to hear more about Voden’s health concerns for Thursday, Aug. 13 in a Globe courtroom.

After a lengthy delay, Voden entered Friday’s sentencing in a wheelchair where a large crowd had gathered in the old courtroom near the Payson jail. A handful of sheriff’s deputies and posse members stood watch and checked everyone over before they could enter.

From his stand, Scales listened quietly as several people spoke about Voden and Burnett and that ill-fated day.

In the fall of 2013, Voden shot Burnett during a confrontation about Randy’s dog Scooter, who had gotten into Voden’s garden and was running around barking. Voden called 911 about the dog. As the dispatcher pleaded with him to stay in the house until police arrived, Voden went out and confronted Burnett while still holding the phone.

Burnett’s wife Brenda testified that her husband was not threatening Voden and had his hands up in the air when Voden shot him.

Voden told police Burnett was walking toward him as though he intended to overpower him and take his gun away.

Voden, who did not testify at trial, spoke freely at the sentencing. He said the shooting had nothing to do with the dog.

“It was clearly obvious, unfortunately, Randy had another agenda that morning,” he said.

Voden said he had worked construction for 50 years and his priority was always getting along with people. He could never have been successful in his career had he not.

He said he volunteered a lot, working river clean ups, with land conservation organizations, building homes with Habitat for Humanity and in Payson, working with CERT and security for Ann Kirkpatrick when she came

to town.

“I have done well over 10,000 hours of public service with dozens of groups on many hundreds of projects,” he said. “I am at a loss for words to express to Brenda and Robert and the rest of the family how sorry I am for the loss of Randy. How sorry I am that this incident ever happened and how sorry I am that Randy and I didn’t get to be friends, ’cause I honestly believe that would have happened, except for what he did that morning.”

Robert said his brother did not deserve to die that morning.

“He did nothing to you,” he said. “It was unnecessary.”

Burnett, a nurse, had just finished radiation treatments for cancer a few months before he and Brenda moved into the home next to Voden and his wife Pat Rollins.

Burnett had only spent one night at the home when Voden shot him.

Robert McQueen, a friend of the Burnetts, was called to Brenda’s side a few hours after the shooting.

McQueen said he had seen Voden in town for years and always wondered why he carried a handgun on his hip. He called the shooting senseless.

“My question to the court today is how long will it be before Brenda gets her husband back.

How long?” he said. “I hope the court has the fortitude to use that as a gauge as how long this loose cannon should be behind bars.”

Brenda, stood and with Fuller holding her arm so she wouldn’t stumble, spoke kindly of her husband, who as a young man had served in the Navy and been a

Deputy County Attorney Shawn Fuller (left) requested a long prison sentence for Mike Voden’s manslaughter conviction, saying he showed no remorse and deserved no mercy. Above is a crime scene photo of the gun Voden used to kill his neighbor, Randy Burnett. bullfighter.

She said they liked to take train trips together and watch the Arizona Diamondbacks.

“He had a heart of gold,” she said. Since his death, Brenda said she planted a tree for Randy in Strawberry and relies on her faith and her church to see her through.

She asked Scales to sentence Voden to the maximum term.

In an impassioned plea, Fuller asked for the aggravated maximum sentence of 21 years, saying the community is safer with Voden behind bars.

“Mr. Voden is a violent irrational man,” he said. “Why 21 years? Because he took a man’s life for no reason. No justification for what he did. There is no imperfect defense here, there is no justification. The jury rejected that. With a few short trigger pulls, he took away a loving husband and a brother.”

Fuller read what a probation officer had noted in the pre-sentencing report: “Despite the fact this defendant led a fruitful, productive and rewarding lifestyle there appears to be another side to this man who can easily be triggered to commit spontaneous acts of violence,” probation wrote.

Fuller said Voden had pointed a gun at another dog owner in Michigan and reportedly threatened a Payson man when he came too close to him with his dog at the park.

“He comes in here and he wants you to have pity on him.

Oh, I have all these health issues.

You know who has health issues?

The widow. You know who has health issues? Randy who was struck four times, twice in the back,” Fuller said. “(Voden) is a pathetic coward. He is a sociopath. Have pity on him, show mercy on him? He didn’t show any to Mr. Burnett.”

After Fuller, Bernays stood and said, “I have never seen a sentencing speech so full of emotion and so bereft of facts.”

Bernays pointed out the jury rejected a murder charge.

Voden’s record is clean except for a misdemeanor conviction more than three decades ago, said his lawyer.

“He is not a sociopath,” he said.

Rollins, Voden’s wife, said her husband was a good man who had helped hundreds of people.

“If he could change what happened that day, I am sure he would do it,” she said.

Two dozen people wrote letters on Voden’s behalf, including his son Charles.

Charles asked Scales to show his father leniency, saying it would “be a travesty if my dad were to whither away in jail for the rest of his life, which due to his health condition may not be long,” Charles wrote.

Scales said after hearing and reading everything and presiding over the trial, he did not think Voden was remorseful or had accepted responsibility. Due to the extreme harm he caused Burnett’s family, the judge sentenced Voden to 17 years in prison.

Voden has until Aug. 27 to file an appeal.

Politicians ignore slow-motion crisis

• Aug. 10, 1776: News reaches London that the Americans have drafted the Declaration of Independence. Parliament was unwilling to negotiate with the American rebels and hired Hessians, German mercenaries, to help the British army crush the rebellion.

• Aug. 13, 1903: Engineer Felix Wankel, inventor of a rotary engine, is born in Lahr, Germany. Wankel reportedly came up with the basic idea for a new type of internal combustion gasoline engine when he was only 17 years old.

• Aug. 11, 1934: The first group of federal prisoners classified as “most dangerous” arrives at Alcatraz Island, a 22-acre rocky outcrop in San Francisco Bay. The convicts joined military prisoners left over from the island’s days as a U.S. military prison.

• Aug. 12, 1973: Golfer Jack Nicklaus wins the PGA Championship for his 14th major title, surpassing Bobby Jones’ 43-year-old record.

• Aug. 9, 2004: Trump Hotel and Casion Resorts announced plans to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

The sweeping destruction of pensions and retirement savings remains a slow-motion crisis neither Congress nor the president seem willing to even discuss — much less tackle.

Investment advisers with Kevin Dick Investment Management Group recently spoke before the Rim Country Regional Chamber of Commerce to provide a needed reminder that the crisis won’t solve itself if we merely ignore it long enough.

Dick noted that the average worker has about $12,000 in retirement savings, in an era when the defined benefit pension so common 20 or 30 years ago has all but vanished.

Social Security was never intended to provide an adequate retirement income for the great mass of workers.

It was designed to prevent the elderly from falling into poverty and to provide supplemental retirement income.

But first employers turned lifetime pensions into supposed secure 401(k)s, then the Great Recession wiped out many of those accounts.

The Social Security Trust Fund is solvent until about 2033, unless Congress again raises payroll taxes, cuts benefits or raises the retirement age. Without such changes, Social Security will have to cut benefits by about one-third to stay in business, according to the actuaries.

Medicare is solvent until 2030, unless Congress reduces benefits or increases payroll taxes. After that point, Congress will have to cut benefits by about 25 percent.

The two crucial programs remain linked, since the inexorable rise in out-of-pocket costs for medical care will quickly gobble up Social Security payments.

The soaring cost of the Social Security disability program poses an even graver and more immediate threat.

The disability fund can only pay about 80 percent of the current benefits as soon as 2016, without big changes.

The cost of the disability program has skyrocketed in recent decades — far outstripping growth in either Medicare of Social Security as a whole.

Neither party has offered any coherent leadership on this most vital issue. The Republican presidential debate provided mostly alarming, half-considered proposals.

Donald Trump and Mike Huckabee both took a strident stand against benefit cuts — but offered no way to shore up the program. The rest of the candidates endorsed some kind of change, including privatization, turning Social Security into a means-tested welfare program and raising the retirement age.

On the Democratic side, the leading candidates just want more benefits — without grappling with where they’re going to get the money.

Clearly, Social Security and Medicare both require a crisis-level, bipartisan approach — since the issue draws demagogues and fear mongers who gang tackle anyone making hard but necessary proposals — like an increase in the retirement age and tough measures to restrain the rise in medical costs.

In the meantime, best pay attention to Kevin Dick and other financial experts. Start saving now, however painful the necessary sacrifice. Judging from the tenor of the current debate — it’s reckless to rely on the politicians to provide for your retirement.

Save Fossil Creek We’re delighted that key Rim Country leaders have demanded a voice when it comes to access to Fossil Creek.

A recent meeting drew an array of Rim Country leaders as well as representatives of groups like Tonto Rim Search and Rescue and the Mounted Posse, who have relied on volunteers to rescue hundreds of hikers.

The U.S. Forest Service is understandably overwhelmed by the roughly 100,000 people a year who venture into the canyon, relying on either a 15-mile-long dirt road or an arduous, four-mile-long trail that descends some 1,500 feet from Strawberry.

Fossil Creek remains a precious resource — not only perhaps the best string of swimming holes in the West but also an unmatched refuged for endangered native species — especially fish.

The current Forest Service plan would cut off almost all access to the creek. The road from Strawberry would remain closed — and maybe the trail as well. Even on the Camp Verde side, people would have to park a mile from the creek.

That would no doubt protect the creek, but it would also deny the public access to public lands — and deal a blow to the struggling tourist economies on both sides of the creek.

Only making Fossil Creek a state or national park will provide both protection and access.

So we hope Rim Country leaders will follow through and fight to protect the creek — without cutting of access.

prove that haboobs were not the fault of farmland or dirt from roads. Every Arizonan knows that dust storms occur naturally in the Sonoran Desert, but in EPA’s eyes, the jury is still out on that question.

So what can be done about EPA’s overreach?

Senator Flake and I have sponsored legislation that would do away with the proposed Clean Water Rule, and we are building a case against the Clean Power Plan Rule following a recent Supreme Court ruling that said EPA can’t implement a regulation if it hasn’t fully analyzed its impact on the economy. In Arizona, agriculture, water, and power are our economy.

Ultimately, the American people need to join Congress in calling out the EPA and President Obama and stopping this regulatory abuse.

These regulations aren’t a good-faith effort to protect public health or the environment. Rather, they are an extension of the president’s executive action strategy to use his “pen and phone” to unconstitutionally forge a legacy — a legacy that will have a chilling impact on Arizona’s economy right when it’s starting to recover.

Destruction of wildlife habitat continues Editor: Turtle, frog, water fowl, and fish habitat continues to be destroyed for no good reason in Green Valley’s largest lake. The Payson Water Department and Parks Department reasoning for their actions doesn’t hold water (pun intended).

Their claim that the cattails have to go to improve water quality and prevent erosion makes good press, but is not supported by the facts.

“Cattails can help keep lakes and ponds healthy by filtering runoff, reducing nutrients and preventing shoreline erosion,” says Aquatic Biologists at http://www.aquaticbiologists. com/algae--weed-id-guide/emergent--terrestrial-weeds/cattails.

A Virginia study shows reductions of nitrate pollution in runoff ponds with cattails as opposed to similar ponds without them. A retired biologist contacted me sharing dismay about the Payson decision and pointed to a similar lake in Kearny, Arizona. That city has a more eco-friendly plan in place. Go to http://www.townofkearny.com/ attractions.html to see the lake there, cattails and all to see what I mean.

According to the Washington State Department of Ecology, “Cattails and other shoreline plants can perform important functions that help keep a lake healthy: They filter runoff, reducing nutrients as well as mud from surrounding land They prevent shoreline erosion from waves created by wind or boats They provide important habitat for many species of wildlife and birds. Redwing blackbirds and many ducks and geese nest in them. Even upland songbirds use fluff from the flowers to line their nests. Source: http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/ wq/plants/native/cattail.html.

Let me repeat what I said in my Guest

Commentary. The Water Department and the Parks and Recreation Department made a genius move when establishing Green Valley Park. They maintain it in grand fashion. The grant for cement blocks to help avoid shoreline erosion in the areas where it is needed is also a great coup for the park. I commend everyone involved for that.

The problem is that “if a little bit (of cement liner) is good, therefore a lot is even better” doesn’t work in this case and claiming that the wildlife habitat destruction is all about water quality is simply misdirection. Sounds like a good reason and makes good headlines, right?

After all, who is against better water quality in our lakes? But the real truth is, since the city wants to get rid of the cattails regardless of their positive effect, the water quality argument is convenient.

Reasonable people can disagree on the aesthetics of what the lake shore should look like.

Some may prefer the bathtub look with grass down to a cement shore line or what I call “the Valley manicured” look. I can assure you, however, that the fish, wildfowl, frogs, turtles, blackbirds and some of the rest of us two-legged creatures are here in Payson for a greener, wildlife friendly look and feel to our lakes.

So why not a compromise? Line the shore with the cement blocks to satisfy the grant and let the wildlife habitat cattails grow back inside the barrier on the west side of the lake where the cattails are (or were) there naturally since the lake was formed. A win-win decision.

Educational myopia?

Editor: Regarding Senator Sylvia Allen’s Guest Comment in the Payson Roundup on July 24, 2015, here are some suggestions for her and her legislative cronies to really help our public

schools in their time of financial distress.

First, vote to restore the funds voters approved many years ago to support public education and that a judge ordered the Legislature to pay. Quit stalling!

Secondly, the “rainy day” fund has over $400 million in it. Use some of it to fix school facilities, increase salaries to retain and attract educators into our schools, and upgrade technology.

Finally, Senator Allen should “walk the walk” and not simply “talk the talk” — meaning she should show us how she supports public education via her legislative actions rather than her Roundup rhetoric.

Neither Horace Mann nor Helen Keller’s teachers would be very successful as Arizona educators in today’s climate without adequate resources and with legislative inaction.

Richard K. Meszar

Take care of yourself, buddy Editor: If you are going to read or listen to political talk these days, it helps to have a working knowledge of their vocabulary since many words and phrases mean exactly the opposite of what one would normally expect.

Case in point: Gov. Ducey’s recently released proposal to “increase personal responsibility” among AHCCCS patients by adding new co-payments, a lifetime benefit limit and a requirement that people with benefits look for work or start a work training program. There are other requirements, but you get the drift. Never mind that about three-fourths of AHCCCS patients are children, elderly or the disabled.

Translation: Unless you are at death’s door, get out there and get a job. If you should continue to need assistance, and have used up your lifetime benefit, tough beans!

Wouldn’t Jesus be proud!

Can federal lands save schools?

Payson School Board member advocates state takeover

by

Michele Nelson

“ASBA allowed us to give a presentation on the difference between the state trust lands and the federal lands (and) how both lands are being less productive because of federal regulations.”

roundup staff reporter

Shirley Dye

Shirley Dye, Payson Unified School District board member, thinks as Governor Doug Ducey does — the Arizona State Land Trust should pay for schools and she would like the school board to support her position.

But Dye has taken it a step further; she actively advocates the state take over the federal government lands in Arizona and put them to use for schools.

“ASBA (the Arizona School Boards Association) allowed us to give a presentation on the difference between the state trust lands and the federal lands (and) how both lands are being less productive because of federal regulations,” she said.

Dye, like many others, believe the Environmental Protection Agency and Forest Service regulations on coal-fired energy plant emissions, mining land rehabilitation requirements, lumber harvesting and grazing limits have limited the ability of private businesses to make money off of the land.

“It is all these environmental issues causing the problems,” she said.

Dye believes if mines, lumber companies and ranchers start making money and paying taxes, the state budget would have enough to fully fund the schools.

Payson School Board member

Currently, Arizona ranks nearlast on per-student spending on schools.

Interestingly, despite Dye believing as Ducey does that the lands should pay for schools, she disagrees with his current plan for dipping into the State Land Trust to use all of the interest and some of the principal to make up for the deep cuts the Legislature has imposed on public education during the last recession.

“I think Ducey’s plan is a bad idea,” said Dye. “Ten percent of the income plus whatever the value of the trust ... it will dip into principal.”

Instead, Dye has adopted the recommendations of The Property and Environmental Research Center report entitled “Divided Lands: State vs. Federal Management in the West.” (http:// www.americanlandscouncil.org/ perc_report_on_federal_lands_ mismanagement) The report took revenue and expenditure data provided by the state land trusts from Arizona, New Mexico, Montana and Idaho and compared that to federal land management numbers.

The report suggests that state land trusts produce an average of $14.51 for every dollar spent on land management.

In comparison, the report found that the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management only generates 73 cents for every dollar spent on land management.

The PERC report came to the conclusion that the poor rate of return on federal lands stems from poor land stewardship, restrictions on using natural resources coupled with limited access.

The report does caution that if the federal government transferred its lands to states, advocates like Dye would have to create a plan for a new way to manage the lands.

Dye said after her presentation to ASBA, she and other advocates put together a packet of information for school boards across the state.

“All school boards got a packet with a sample report on tying education funding to statehood,” she said. “The history part of it ... I wrote up and got published.”

Dye then presented her research to the PUSD governing board during its summer retreat.

She said she plans on making a formal presentation and request for a letter of support sometime in the fall after she attends more conferences on the subject.

Falls have frightening statistics for the elderly “Rapid intervention is the best hope for minimizing the damage of a TBI.” Mike Ward, RN CEP

Banner Payson Medical Center BY

TERESA MCQUERREY

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

Falls might seem like a minor health issue, but as we age they can result is serious complications.

Michael Ward, RN CEP, trauma coordinator and pre-hospital manager for Banner Payson Medical Center, discussed falls and some of the scary facts that come with them at the Aug. 5 Lunch & Learn program.

He is also a reserve firefighter and paramedic with the Pine Strawberry Fire Department, so he has seen the damage falls can cause at the scene and in the hospital.

Ward said the CDC reports one of every three older adults, those 65 and above, falls each year.

Less than half talk to health care providers about it.

Falls are the leading cause of both fatal and nonfatal injuries among older adults, he said.

There were 2.5 million nonfatal falls among senior citizens treated in emergency departments in 2013 and more than 734,000 were hospitalized because of the injuries. The direct medical cost, adjusted for inflation, was $34 billion.

Between 20 to 30 percent of fall victims have injuries such as lacerations, hip fractures and head traumas.

“Falls are the most common cause of traumatic brain injuries (TBI),” Ward said. A TBI is bleeding inside the brain.

He went on to say that nearly half of fatal falls among seniors are due to a TBI. Among the “red flags” for a potential TBI: • The patient hit their head

Jan Parsons/Banner Payson Medical Center

Mike Ward visits with one of the Lunch & Learn guests at the Aug. 5 program at the Banner Payson Medical Center senior facility.

• They have a laceration and/or hematoma on their head • They are currently taking an anticoagulant (Warfarin or another form of Coumadin, Heparin) and/or antiplatelet (aspirin, Clopidogrel, which is Plavix).

Signs to look for in a loved one before professional help arrives include: enlarged or unequal pupils, a state of confusion, drowsiness, or a severe headache.

He said if the victim suffers unconsciousness from a fall, comes to and seems OK, but then loses consciousness again, they

need emergency help immediately.

“Rapid intervention is the best hope for minimizing the damage of a TBI,” he said.

Ward said those 75 and older who fall are four to five times more likely than those 65 to 74 to be admitted to a long-term care facility for a year or longer because of the accident’s complications.

Nearly all — 95 percent — of hip fractures are caused by falls.

Each year, there are more than 258,000 hip fractures. Women are almost twice as likely as men to

suffer a hip fracture.

He gave some specific numbers for the Payson area: in 2014, 565 fall victims, over the age of 60, came to the emergency department; most of those, 62, were in August; the fewest, 31, were in January.

Prevention

Most falls happen in the home, usually in the bathroom. They are also due to the use of ladders and step stools, throw rugs, animals, and stairs. Out in the community, falls happen while shopping and in parking lots.

Five important reasons to vaccinate your child Check with your doctor or county health department about the vaccines now available

CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL You want to do what is best for your children. You know about the importance of car seats, baby gates and other ways to keep them safe.

But, did you know that one of the best ways to protect your children is to make sure they have all of their vaccinations?

FROM THE

Immunizations can save your child’s life.

Because of advances in medical science, your child can be protected against more diseases than ever before. Some diseases that once injured or killed thousands of children, are no longer common in the U.S. — primarily due to safe and effective vaccines. Polio is one example of the great impact that vaccines have had in the United States.

Polio was once America’s most-feared disease, causing death and paralysis across the country, but today, thanks to vaccination, there are no reports of polio in the United States.

Vaccination is very safe and effective.

Vaccines are only given to children after a long and careful review by scientists, doctors and health care professionals. Vaccines will involve some discomfort and may cause pain, redness or tenderness at the site of injection, but this is minimal compared to the pain, discomfort and trauma of the diseases these vaccines prevent. Serious side effects following vaccination, such as severe allergic reaction, are very rare. The disease-prevention benefits of getting vaccines are much greater than the possible side effects for almost all children.

Immunization protects others you care about.

Children in the U.S. still get vaccine-preventable diseases. In fact, we have seen resurgences of measles and whooping cough (pertussis) over the past few years. Since 2010, there have been between 10,000

He said falls occur because of poor vision, poor lighting, medications, lack of exercise and a person being noncompliant (with recommended behaviors).

To deal with poor vision issues he said wear your glasses; get frequent eye exams, checking for cataracts, glaucoma and macular degeneration; know your limits and don’t exceed them; be aware

of your depth perception.

Address lighting issues: add lamps and keep cords out of the pathway; spotlight elevation changes; let your eyes adjust; consider motion or noise activated lights; beware of shadows.

To handle potential medication issues in relation to fall prevention, Ward said know what you are taking, why you’re taking it and how your individual medications could interact with each other.

Knowing what medications you’re taking means knowing if it can make you dizzy, generally speaking, or make you dizzy when you get up quickly; can drop your blood pressure; control your heart rate; control your blood sugar; affect your neurological state.

He said exercise for older adults promotes better circulation; helps maintain balance; necessitates good eating habits; promotes lung capacity; helps maintain reflexes.

Should a loved one be prone to falls due to “noncompliant” behaviors, Ward said, encourage them to use the recommended behavior; reward them when they do; nag them when they don’t.

He offered the following advice to reduce fall risk: • Manage chronic illnesses or conditions • Get an eye exam regularly • Stay hydrated • Talk to physicians and pharmacists about medications (the side effects and interaction) • Stay active and exercise regularly • Find alternatives for potentially risky behaviors • Identify and eliminate fall hazards in the home

and 50,000 cases of whooping cough each year in the United States and about 10 to 20 babies, many of which were too young to be fully vaccinated, died each year. While some babies are too young to be protected by vaccination, others may not be able to receive certain vaccinations due to severe allergies, weakened immune systems from conditions like leukemia, or other reasons. To help keep them safe, it is important that you and your children who are able to get vaccinated are fully immunized. This not only protects your family, but also helps prevent the spread of these diseases to your friends and loved ones.

Immunizations can save your family time and money.

A child with a vaccine-preventable disease can be denied attendance at schools or daycare facilities. Some vaccine-preventable diseases can result in prolonged disabilities and can take a financial toll because of lost time at work, medical bills or long-term disability care.

In contrast, getting vaccinated against these diseases is a good investment and usually covered by insurance. The Vaccines for Children program is a federally funded program that provides vaccines at no cost to children from low- income families. Visit http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/ programs/vfc/index.html to find out more about the VFC program, or ask your child’s health care professional.

Immunization protects future generations.

Vaccines have reduced and, in some cases, eliminated many diseases that killed or severely disabled people just a few generations ago. For example, smallpox vaccination eradicated that disease worldwide. Your children don’t have to get smallpox shots any more because the disease no longer exists. By vaccinating children against rubella (German measles), the risk that pregnant women will pass this virus on to their fetus or newborn has been dramatically decreased, and birth defects associated with that virus no longer are seen in the United States. If we continue vaccinating now, and vaccinating completely, parents in the future may be able to trust that some diseases of today will no longer be around to harm their children in the future.

More than a dozen Gila County firefighters are helping battle growing wildfires in northern California.

Two engine crews went to the Route Complex Fire last week and two more crews are on their way, said Payson Fire Chief David Staub, resource dispatch officer for the Gila County wildland group.

The Route Complex consists of three fires in Humboldt and Trinity counties, west of Redding, Calif. The fires have destroyed two outbuildings and grown to 20,000 acres as of Monday morning with 15 percent containment.

Christopher-Kohl’s, PineStrawberry, Globe’s Tri-City and Hellsgate have all sent a type 3 engine to the fire.

The truck is the biggest wildland engine available, carrying 500 gallons of water and several firefighters.

The call for help on the Route Complex was sent out nationwide. The State Forestry requested help from Gila County, which has eight type 3 engines.

Payson Fire does not have a type 3 engine, but two Payson firefighters have gone out individually as trainees.

Staub said sending crews to wildfires has a minimal impact on local service since the department still has enough firefighters

Staub said the biggest win for the local community lies in the experience firefighters gain in fighting a fire in another town, which they can apply if a wildfire ever strikes Rim Country.

Young residents busted for growing pot Pair had medical marijuana cards by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

Two Young residents were arrested Friday evening for growing marijuana at a home in the remote community southeast of Payson, according to the Gila County Sheriff’s Office.

Wendell K. Wade, 75, and Lynelle Ruback Chapman, 61, both of Young, were arrested on numerous drug charges includ-

ing cultivating marijuana, possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia and misconduct involving weapons in a drug offense.

The Gila County Drug, Gang and Violent Crimes Task Force consisting of detectives from the Gila County Sheriff’s Office, Arizona Department of Public Safety and state troopers conducted a joint investigation into Wade and Chapman after someone reported suspicious activity at a Young home, said Travis Baxley with the task force.

They found 14 marijuana

plants and approximately six pounds of processed marijuana, marijuana cultivation equipment, numerous items of drug paraphernalia and a firearm during the raid. While Chapman and Wade have medical marijuana cards, they were not authorized to grow it. Because Young sits outside the 25-mile radius of a medical marijuana dispensary it is legal for someone with a medical marijuana card and authorization to cultivate to grow there so long as they comply with the law, growing the marijuana in an enclosed, locked facility.

forest fuels in the area while providing protection for the reservoir.

“Allowing this fire to reduce forest fuels so close to the reservoir is a good strategic move,” said Linda Wadleigh, Mogollon Rim district ranger. “Low intensity wildfires like the General Fire are crucial and necessary in the area surrounding the reservoir to prevent damage and destruction to this vital watershed from larger, more severe wildfires.”

The fire has currently burned 850 acres, at a low to moderate intensity producing prodigious smoke.

So long as the fire continues to consume downed wood and small trees, it will actually benefit the watershed and protect the reservoir on which Payson depends for its future water supply.

On Monday, about 30 firefighters manning one engine, a bulldozer and other equipment continued to work to make sure the fire remains contained in its designated area.

Since the General Fire started on July 31, it’s given visitors and surrounding communities of the reservoir plenty of time to notice the poor air quality.

Beyond reduction of hazardous forest fuels, the Forest Service said its other objectives for the fire include improvement of wildlife habitat, understory vegetation enhancement (grasses and low bushes), control of forest disease and pest prevention.

The Forest Service will close a southern fork of the C.C. Cragin Reservoir, west of Dick Hart Point due to the fire, to protect the public.

Other closures include Forest Roads 719, 719F, 139A (north of Forest Road 95) and 95D. The Forest Service said smoke from the General Fire will move in a northeast direction and likely impact subdivisions within the Blue Ridge communities and surrounding area, but lift by the mid-morning hours.

The northern section of Turkey Pen Ridge will have the heaviest smoke due to the fire being located along that area.

Forest Service resources on the scene include an engine, one crew, a dozer, one Arizona State Forestry crew and miscellaneous firefighting personnel — a total of approximately 30 firefighters and staff.

The Forest Service gave no indication how long the General Fire will burn.

Revealing Rim Country splendors ... in a good cause

Deadline near for charity calendar submissions

The Rim Country Camera Club’s (R3C) second annual charity calendar has already received stunning submissions and the group seeks for more. Focused on the Rim Country, the annual calendar features images by local photographers that capture the spirit and beauty of our special part of Arizona.

The deadline for submissions is Aug. 15.

To promote photography, support local charities and showcase Rim Country, the R3C will produce a 2016 Rim Country Charity Calendar. The 2015 edition featured pictures from 15 local photographers and raised $2,500 for two local food banks. The club sold more than 400 calendars last year.

This year the R3C has a Facebook page where anyone can both submit images and “Like” the ones to be considered for the final product.

Check out 2016 Rim Country Charity Calendar on Facebook to see photos that have already been submitted and to enter as well.

In addition to photo submissions, the R3C is seeking sponsorships, pre-sales and/or donations.

Donations to offset printing costs will ultimately produce more money for the food banks. The club will include a simple company logo on one of the pages for a $50 sponsorship. For pre-orders, donations, or sponsorships, please contact Patty Hunt (patricia_hunt@ earthlink.net or 928-595-1955).

To date the R3C has received support and pre-orders of over $300.

To submit photos for the 2016 Rim Country Camera Club’s Annual Charity Calendar, please send horizontal photographs taken around Rim Country via email to gempressphotos43@gmail.com. For the initial submission and selection process, low-resolution landscape orientation jpeg images will work.

Larger 10-inch-by -12inch, 300 dpi files will be needed for images selected for final printing.

The R3C also sponsors the photography division at the Northern Gila County Fair, where photographers, young and old, experienced or not, can enter their photos to win ribbons, prize money and bragging rights. A professional photographer will judge the more than 500 entries typically received for this event.

Additionally, the R3C awards a $150 Arizona Highways photo workshop gift certificate to the Best of Class in the Junior (17 and under) category.

This year’s fair will be Sept.

11 through Sept. 13 at the Payson Event Center.

The R3C is a group of photography enthusiasts that meet on the second Monday of each month to enjoy presentations by members, guests and friends. Field trips and occasional seminars, all focused on learning, mentoring and having fun with photography happen too.

For more information contact Greg McKelvey (gempressphotos43@gmail. com), Harold Rush (hrrush@npgcable. com) or Scherry Duncan (rc3@scherry.net). The club is free; just give us your email address so we can remind you of upcoming meetings and events.

Sun Devils back at Camp Tontozona this week They’re back.

It’s been 55 years since Frank Kush began bringing Arizona State’s football team to Camp Tontozona just east of Payson for a week of practice in the cool pines of Rim Country.

After ASU abandoned the camp under Dennis Erickson, Todd Graham has been committed to restoring the tradition in his four years as head coach.

The Sun Devils are expected to arrive at Camp T this afternoon and hold a practice sometime this afternoon. The public is welcome to MORE THAN A watch the Sun Devils practice for free beginning at 8:30 a.m.

Wednesday-Friday. Wrapping up the week is the Maroon and Gold controlled scrimmage at about 10

by Keith Morris a.m. Saturday.

The fortunate fans that have the time can spend their mornings at Camp Tontozona watching coach Todd Graham and his staff work with players preparing for another grueling schedule that begins with the opener Sept.

5 against Texas A&M in Houston.

Most just show up for Saturday’s scrimmage. But hopefully many will arrive a day earlier for the free ASU Sun Devils Football Pep Rally from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Friday at Green Valley Park, 1000 W. Country Club Drive. It’s a new event featuring live music by Zero Gravity Fighters, a presentation by the Sun Devil Spirit Squad, Sun Devils’ mascot Sparky, guest speakers, including former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Danny White, autographs by ASU alumni, and fun and games, including football skills competitions and a football obstacle course. Vendors will sell food and drinks.

The Town of Payson is billing it as a big party to kick off the Sun Devils football season.

For more information, call the Payson Parks, Recreation & Tourism Department at (928) 474-5242 ext. 7.

Game

Hall of Famer Frank Gifford dies

As an NFL fan growing up, I always looked forward to Monday Night Football.

It was that special prime time game each week. We have Thursday night and Sunday night games, as well, these days. But back then; it was Frank Gifford, Howard Cosell and Don Meredith in the ABC booth each Monday night during the NFL season.

That was the trio I watched in those early years. And I loved those broadcasts.

In addition to watching the games, I always looked forward the Cosell’s Halftime Highlights, a quick video rundown of Sunday’s games, where Howard would fill us in on the biggest plays with his unique narration.

Gifford, who enjoyed a Hall-of-Fame playing career with the New York Giants, held those broadcasts together. It was his play-by-play and ability to converse with his two booth mates that made those broadcasts work.

Gifford died on Sunday at the age of 84.

Keith Morris/Roundup

They were scheduled to arrive this afternoon and hold a practice, with practices beginning at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday-Friday. The week concludes with the controlled scrimmage at 10 a.m. Saturday. The Town of Payson is holding an ASU Football Pep Rally from 5-9 p.m. Friday at Green Valley Park.

Sixty people donned glow sticks then trotted around Green Valley Park and the Payson Golf Course in the evening for the first-ever Glow in the Bowl Run on Saturday, Aug. 8.

“It went really well and we had great feedback,” said Kaprice Bachtell of the Payson Parks, Recreation and Tourism Department.

The town hosted the fun run, just for … well … the fun of it.

“It was a great family event,” said Bachtell. “We did have strollers, babies and toddlers.”

She hopes the event grows over the years as a lively back-toschool and end-of-summer celebration.

Bachtell said she thought up the run after hoping to create an outside-of-the-box event for the town.

“When I was brainstorming, I did look online,” she said. “There were color runs and foam runs and I thought, what could we do?”

Besides the run, Bachtell said the town had a bounce house and a black light dance with entertainment by DJ Craig.

Pine’s in a happy Daze The combination of the Mountain Daze Arts and Crafts Festival and the Friends of the Strawberry Patchers Seventh Annual Quilt Auction drew hundreds of weekend wanderers to Pine this weekend. The Mountain Daze festival offered an array of crafts, vendors, music, food and more on both Saturday and Sunday.

The Quilt Auction on Saturday displayed quilts created by some of the top quilters in the country. Organizers auctioned off quilts at the event — and many people also bought raffle tickets for the Dec. 3 drawing.
