Can we stop the MONSTER?

75 CENTS

No more room at the inn? Money running out for displaced Canal residents BY

ALEXIS BECHMAN

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

Efforts to get the Canal Senior Apartments habitable again after massive water damage earlier this month is going well, but organizers aren’t sure how they will keep tenants in hotel rooms until workers finish repairs. Michele Bailey, apartment manager, said they are $10,000 short. The Payson Salvation Army had paid to put up residents at the Quality Inn, but that money is running out and the repair work is slated to take another few weeks. Most of the residents are low income, many disabled, and don’t have the funds to cover a stay at the inn. Although Sunshine Cleaning and Restoration crews have worked nearly around the clock to get the three-story complex reopened, ripping out drywall, carpet and any-

thing else water may have touched, they still need until the end of the year to finish. A third of the tenants should move in Dec. 15 and the rest by Dec. 30. Bailey seeks community donations to cover a $10,000 hotel bill. “That is what we need to keep roofs over their heads within that time frame.” Joann Conlin with the Senior Center said residents need help getting back on their feet and is asking for food donations, winter clothing and personal care items, like shampoo and deodorant. The Senior Center is collecting donations and will distribute them to residents. Donations can go into an account at National Bank of Arizona on the corner of the Beeline Highway and Main Street. For more information, contact Conlin at (928) 474-4876 or pseniors@npgcable.com.

Quick action saves mother of five BY

The Water Wheel Fire came close to consuming Beaver Valley and Whispering Pines, underscoring the ongoing threat of wildfires in Rim Country.

Kristin started breathing again and paramedics arrived shortly thereafter. They hooked her up to an EKG machine and paramedics later told Dillon that Kristin’s heart was throwing off some crazy rhythms. While on her way to the Payson hospital, Kristin’s heart stopped two more times and paramedics had to shock her back to life. She was airlifted to a Valley hospital and taken to an intensive care unit. While there, she suffered another ventricular fibrillation, the most serious cardiac rhythm disturbance where the lower heart chambers See Quick, page 12A

Programs can cut risk

Thanks to a few quick-thinking Safeway employees, a mother of five survived a massive cardiac arrest. Kristin, 36, who asked that we not use her last name, was working in the Safeway Starbucks kiosk on the morning of Nov. 16 when she started complaining of chest pains after dumping out a pot of coffee and turning around to set it down, said Dan Dillon, store manager. Kristin said she thought she had just pulled something, but the sharp pain traveled through her chest and down her arm. Assistant manager Russell

Youngcourt brought Kristin into the store office and had her sit down while he called for help. Kristin said the pain was getting worse and worse and when Youngcourt looked back, she had slumped back into her chair and was no longer breathing. Youngcourt laid Kristin on the floor, put an aspirin under her tongue and started chest compressions. Youngcourt yelled into the store, asking if anyone was a paramedic or a doctor. Office manager Patty McGee rushed in and the two raised Kristin’s legs on a chair. Youngcourt continued chest compressions while McGee delivered rescue breaths, Dillon said.

But most Rim Country communities still woefully unprepared for wildfire BY

ROUNDUP EDITOR

Cost sharing problems work great when it comes to convincing people to reduce brush and wildfire dangers around their homes, but only when people understand what they have to do, according to a recent study in Colorado. The study has potentially far-reaching implications for Rim Country, where efforts to convince residents to clear dangerous accumulations of brush and trees have sputtered and lurched. The study published in the International Journal of Wildland Fire found that when offered financial help many residents of firemenaced communities in Colorado cleared their property of the kinds of thickets that could easily carry a wildfire through the community. Overgrown brush last year resulted in the deaths of 19 wildland firefighters and destroyed most of the homes in the community of Yarnell. In that case, one study showed that the fire spared the handful of homes with a Firewise clearing around the structures. Interestingly enough, another study that THE WEATHER

focused on the recent cluster of disastrous wildfires in Colorado found that most of the most damaging recent fires started on private land and spread into the forest, rather than vice versa. The study by the U.S. Forest Service found that major fires in 2007, 2009 and 2010 all started in overgrown portions of private land, like the isolated communities that dot Rim Country. The greater the human population in forested areas, the more likely a megafire would start in the settled, privately-owned areas, according to the Forest Service study. The Colorado study on Firewise brush clearing efforts also yielded the surprising finding that the homeowners facing the greatest risk due to the accumulation of brush on the property actually proved least willing to clean up their properties. The study found that homeowners who didn’t know what they needed to do proved the most likely to do nothing. Ignorance proved more important than not having the time or the money or even concerns about how the property would look afterward. “The good news is these cost-share programs are very effective at encouraging some people in the community to reduce their wildfire risk said James Medrum, a research associate at CU-Boulder’s Institute of Behavioral Science and co-author of the paper funded by the West Region Wildfire Council. “But they won’t fix everything. They should be used as part of a suite of tools.”

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

If you have driven along Houston Mesa Road in the past few months, you have probably seen them and maybe nearly hit one. Several hundred black cows are roaming free, grazing along the roadway which leads to Mesa del Caballo and other communities under the Rim. It isn’t hard to spot the cattle or the mess they leave behind, but several unsuspecting motorists have struck one of the ambling beasts as they stroll across the roadway. The Gila County Sheriff’s Department reports at least four “cow versus car” incidents since October. The U.S. Forest Service says the cows should be gone, weather permitting, within the next two to three weeks. Until then, motorists should watch out once they turn off the Beeline Highway, cross the cattle guard and head east on Houston Mesa Road.

The busy road remains within a grazing pasture open to free-roaming cattle, said Carrie Templin, public affairs specialist with the Tonto National Forest. A rancher has a permit to graze 372 cattle there between Oct. 30 and Dec. 31. Mark Essary, Houston Mesa fire chief, said his department has not been called for any of the accidents, but has overheard “cow versus car” radio traffic of Gila County Sheriff’s Office deputies responding. On Tuesday, he overheard deputies looking for a cow a motorist had reportedly hit. Initially, no one put out signs warning motorists the cows had returned. Now motorists should see several signs including a lighted one. Last year, Essary’s wife hit a cow while heading to work in the morning. Although she slammed on her brakes, she knocked the cow over with her Jeep. Remarkably, the cow got up and walked away, with no apparent damage to the Jeep.

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

Whispering Pines residents opened up their 2014 property tax bills to quite a shock — a tenfold increase in taxes from the Whispering Pines Water Improvement District. Only in its third year as a taxing authority, the little water improvement district wants the extra money to secure water rights for the hamlet that will cover both its current needs and the build-out demand for water. The money will allow Whispering Pines to secure rights to water from the Blue Ridge Reservoir that the Salt River Project puts into the headwaters of the East Verde River. Currently, the community gets its water from the creek and adjacent wells, which SRP could claim as surface water it owns. Homeowners reacted with shock and bafflement to the big jump in their property tax assessment. However, water board members say that a nondisclosure agreement prevents them from detailing what they need the money for while they’re negotiating with SRP to secure long-term water rights for the community. The Arizona Water Settlement Act of 2004 that provided 3,000 acre-feet annually from the Blue Ridge Reservoir for Payson also guarantees about 500 acre-feet annually to rural Northern Arizona communities. The Whispering Pines Water Improvement District seeks to guarantee a supply for as long and as much as the community needs water by essentially buying into the SRP pipeline. Payson Water Company (PWC) — formerly owned by Brooke Utilities — actually supplies drinking water to the community, but it hasn’t done anything to secure water rights from the pipeline.

“We’re in the process of developing agreements with communities (in the Verde watershed) that make available a certain quantity of water from C.C. Cragin for use within their community,” said Greg Kornrumph, a principal analyst for the Salt River Project (SRP). “Five hundred acre-feet was set aside as the Arizona Settlements Act.” Communities can opt into the agreement, or not. The Town of Payson has already opted in. PWC has also acted to rights to about 70 acre-feet annually from the pipeline for the unincorporated community of Mesa del Caballo. Star Valley has opted out and none of the other communities along the route of the pipeline have negotiated a deal to secure their potential water rights. Those that do not choose to join face the possibility of a legal battle with SRP over groundwater rights. Congress granted the Salt River Project rights to surface water in the Tonto National Forest when it built Roosevelt Dam to secure a water supply for farmers in the Valley. “There is a reason SRP is moving forward with these discussions,” said Kornrumph. “SRP believes (that) today because of wells and impact on the river there is a question on the legality of the water right issue.” Since the 1800s, SRP has obtained water rights for the Phoenix area, said Kornrumph, and served as an example of how to create dams and reservoirs to assure a steady quantity of water to communities in the west. Now, small communities such as Whispering Pines can opt into the C.C. Cragin pipeline — for a cost. Kornrumph said SRP has made improvements to the pipeline, starting in 2004. If a community wishes to benefit from the C.C. Cragin pipeline, they will have to pay the portion of improvement dollars SRP has already

invested into the pipeline. Deciding how much money and how much water is a process done mostly behind the scenes. Bob Hull, a member of the Whispering Pines Water Improvement District, said SRP has required the district to sign a nondisclosure agreement. “We can’t discuss details,” said Hull. He said the board members of the water improvement district may not discuss the estimates on costs and estimates to obtain the water rights. Kornrumph said the nondisclosure agreement keeps under wraps the calculations to determine the potential build-out of Whispering Pines and current water usage numbers. “We look at current usage, percentage of build-out today, figure out part-time or fulltime residency,” said Kornrumph. “We’re pretty comfortable that the estimates we are making today.” Hull said originally, the water improvement district initiated charging property taxes to pay for meters, but discovered SRP preferred to finish the job. “In 2012, we first became a tax entity,” said Hull. “We set aside a capital fund for meters.” Hull said SRP at first asked the Whispering Pines Water Improvement District to place meters on all wells and straws pumping up groundwater, but then SRP said they would take over estimating how much water the community uses now. So, Hull said the water improvement district decided to start taxing to pay for its C.C. Cragin water rights — hence the tenfold increase in taxes this year. Kornrumph said SRP is moving forward, but estimates on numbers are not complete yet. “We’re still in the midst of putting together numbers,” he said.

Payson Community Kids coordinated this year’s Tamales for Toys campaign and had about 45 volunteers make 300 dozen tamales for the Nov. 22 event. Suzy Tubbs, president of the PCK Board of Directors, said they had only four dozen tamales left over when all was said and done. The event generated about $5,000 and netted around $500 worth of contributed toys, mostly for toddlers and infants. The money will buy Christmas gifts for 212 youngsters affiliated with PCK, another 139 being provided for by the organization Nonprofits Coming Together and approximately 41 children in foster care. Some of the 45 members of the tamale construction crew helped with the Nov. 22 event, along with 20 other volunteers, Tubbs said.

OURVIEW

LOOKBACK • Nov. 30, 1950: President Harry Truman announces that he is prepared to authorize the use of atomic weapons in order to achieve peace in Korea. At the time, communist China had joined North Korean forces in their attacks on United Nations troops, including U.S. soldiers in South Korea. • Nov. 29, 1963: One week after President John Kennedy was fatally shot while riding in a motorcade in Dallas, President Lyndon Johnson establishes a commission to investigate the assassination. The Warren Commission concluded that there was no conspiracy. In 1978, the House Select Committee on Assassinations concluded that Kennedy was “probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy” that may have involved multiple shooters and organized crime. • Nov. 28, 1979: A New Zealand sightseeing plane traveling over Antarctica crashes, killing all 257 people on board, after the pilot descended to 1,500 feet. The pilot didn’t know that his descent came right as the plane reached Mount Erebus, a 12,444-foot volcano.

GUESTCOMMENT

Our many blessings

Tribes should pursue energy development as they see fit

e enjoy manifold blessings in Rim Country, more than the leaves on the cottonwoods. Perhaps it seems late to express our gratitude, now that Thanksgiving has passed and we’ve hurtled on into Black Friday and the stress of Christmas shopping, the stockings all stuffed with expectations. Still, we wanted to take a moment to count our many blessings here in Rim Country. We are grateful to live in a community that would rally around the residents of the Canal Senior Apartments, made homeless by happenstance and bad luck. We are grateful to live in a community that would plant the Payson Community Garden — and each year come through for the community food banks. We are grateful to live in a community that would give a 60 percent vote for the Payson Unified School District budget override, when citizens elsewhere rejected similar pleas from their schools. We are grateful to live in a community with visionary leaders who would dare to dream of something as unlikely as a university campus here — and then spend years of tenacious effort working to make it happen. We are grateful for the eerie, haunting calls of the lovelorn elk in the darkness on the banks of the East Verde River. We are grateful to live in a place where our community leaders could spend 20 years securing a water supply against all odds — making Rim Country one of the few places with enough water to meet all its future needs. We are grateful to live in a community blessed by so many wonderful kids, who we cheer at the football games, the band competitions, the Christmas concerts and the graduation ceremonies that invariably make us cry. We are grateful to live in a community where it takes a full page in the newspaper just to list the churches and their good deeds. We are grateful to live always in sight of the Mogollon Rim, which lifts our spirits as it lifts up the clouds and brings down the rain. We are grateful for the East Verde and Tonto Creek and Fossil Creek, which can put everything back into perspective just with the sound of the water at sunset. We are grateful to live in a community so blessed with people who have served their country, risked their lives — and grateful also for the way in which the community honors that service. We are grateful for the way cottonwood leaves quiver in the breeze, blaze with color in the autumn, return to the soil in the winter and burst with vivid life in the spring. We are grateful for the gleam of trout, the return of the swallows, the hoot of the great horned owl, the sight of the javelina piglets, the exquisite grace of the whitetailed deer, the cry of the canyon wren. But mostly, we’re grateful to live in a place with such people — and for the support of the best newspaper readers anywhere. We love Rim Country, where the blessing brim from the earth like the crystalline waters of Fossil Creek from its inexhaustible spring. We’re grateful beyond measure for the chance to live here, to report on its wonders, to know its people — and to serve our readers. God bless you, every one. And thank you for your grace and your support.

I recently cosponsored the Indian Tribal Energy Development and Self-Determination Act Amendments of 2014 in the U.S. Senate, a bill authored by my colleague Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) that would do just that. Under this legislation, Indian tribes will have greater independence in developing their energy resources by having the option to streamline approval processes for energy projects, rights-of-way, leases, and business contracts. The bill has bipartisan support, including from the Obama administration, and was passed by the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs earlier this summer. During my 33 years serving in Congress, I have long advocated for Indian self-determination and self-governance. Empowering Indian tribes to decide for themselves how, when, and where to unlock their energy potential presents a significant opportunity to both increase our nation’s energy security and create good-

Who needs a university? EDITOR: “Reportedly, Evans provided the necessary assurances in a meeting with ASU officials this week.” Well, that’s definitely some good reporting. Definitely front-page, above-the-fold, good solid reporting, in a story that was at least 50 percent longer than necessary. How many readers, do you suppose, actually made it through all 35-plus paragraphs? I would like to suggest that you issue a call for letters to the editor regarding this silly idea that a 5,000-student “university” would really make Payson a better place to live. Tom Larson

Constitutional Convention EDITOR: Irrespective of our political philosophy or on which side of the aisle our sensibilities lie, there are few among us who are not concerned with the recent display of impolitic conflict between the legislative and executive branches of our federal government. Routine skirmishes and grandstanding have become the norm in our increasingly polarized environment, but the events of this last week — the unilateral de-criminalization of millions of illegal aliens under the tortured guise of prosecutorial discretion — far exceeds the usual. Atop the list of attributes that make the structure of our republican federalism the world’s benchmark for self-governance is our constitutional system of checks and balances. For almost two-and-a-half centuries it has ensured against the disproportionate amass-

ing of power among any of the three co-equal branches of government. As mandated by our Constitution, it is and has always been the prerogative of the Legislature to conceive the law, that of the executive to enforce the law, and that of the judicial to review the law. This unique design was a product of the brilliance of the Founders, having just shrugged off the heavy-handed affliction of a distant and arrogant monarchy — that no single entity or individual should ever again have the authority to rule over a free people simply by decree. Certainly a president is expected to lead, not just the nation in terms of direction, but in the establishment of policy and even in the creation of law. The latter, however, by law and by longstanding tradition, has typically been accomplished by varying methods of persuasion, motivation and influence. Some presidents have been more effective in their manner of inducement, while others have been less so. One of the greatest benefits of our electoral system is the primary process, where candidates for chief executive are thoroughly vetted for their most critical attributes, with management capability being very high on that list. As a result, Americans have a long history, with but a few notable exceptions, of electing strong and capable presidents, all of whom demonstrated the most valuable skill of any executive: Leadership. There can be little doubt or credible argument that the results of the recent midterm election spoke plainly the sentiment of the majority of the American electorate ... those concerned enough about the current state of the nation to actually cast a vote. Whether measured by party or policy, it is clear that the over-arching desire of those voters is to have a

more cooperative and conservative hand at the helm of government, at all levels, from local legislative districts and governorships to congressional representatives and senators. Elections should matter. When they don’t, we forfeit the right to lay claim to being a representative republic. When our leaders chose to ignore the suffrage that men and women have fought and died for, and resolve instead to govern in direct defiance of the will of the governed, they are no longer leaders but tyrants. The Constitution defines for us the standards for just and competent leadership, but when leadership fails, that cherished text is silent on the consequences. It shouldn’t be. The Founders of this nation, in their Godgiven wisdom, anticipated the day when the federal government would become so removed from the people in the states that it would simply cease to respond to their wants and needs, and would sense no fear in doing so. It was one of those Founders, Thomas Jefferson, who concluded that when government fears the people, there is liberty ... but when the people fear their government, there is tyranny. The steady decline of our political culture has finally brought us to the point where the word “shall” now requires the force of “or else.” As a remedy short of revolution, they provided us in Article V of the Constitution the power and authority to repair the errors that we detect in the process of self-governance, to be used at a time when it becomes apparent that government will not repair itself. The time is now, and that remedy is an amendments convention, or a Convention of States to Propose Amendments to the Constitution. There is a solution as big as the problem: ConventionOfStates.com.

Judge Dorothy LIttle swears in two recently elected Pine Strawberry Fire District members, Mike Clark and David Burkhart. began only two weeks after he took over the Pine Strawberry school 13 years ago. At the request of state fire officials, he turned the school into a fire camp for firefighters called in to protect Pine and Strawberry from the Cave Creek Complex Fire. At the time, emergency situations were nothing new to Clark. As principal at Pinion just a year before arriving in Pine, his school was turned into a base camp for troops and helicopters flying in supplies to snowbound families

on the Northern Arizona reservations. Clark was also a career Army officer who retired in 1992 as a lieutenant colonel. He enlisted in the Army in 1966 and was a command staff officer at many U.S and overseas bases. He also served two combat tours in Vietnam as a helicopter pilot. Both Clark and Burkhart are now serving a fire district that is transitioning to new chief Gary Morris who took over after the previous chief left to head up the Payson Fire Department.

In the past year, the department has also had two of its most experienced firefighters, captain Mella Smith and engineer Don Voakes, retire. The district currently has at its disposal 17 full-time professional firefighters, nine trained on-call reserves and a five-person rehab-support unit. Morris and the board members urge local residents to attend district meetings held at 6 p.m. the third Wednesday of each month at Station 41 on Hardscrabble Road.

Mother sentenced after boyfriend kills child Marcelina Rich, 31, will serve a five-year prison sentence plus 10 years probation on charges she hindered prosecution of child abuse. Judge Robert Duber sentenced the Globe woman to prison as part of a plea bargain that included her testimony against boyfriend Kyron Grow. A jury in June deliberated for only four hours before convicting Grow of first degree murder, aggravated assault, and two counts of child abuse. Judge Monica L. Stauffer sentenced him to life in prison. Chief Deputy County Attorney Shawn C. Fuller prosecuted the case. He said that on the morning of March 26, 2013 Grow called 911 and reported that his live-in girlfriend’s 3-

year-old son had “banged his head twice” and was throwing up and laying on the floor. EMTs from the Tri-City Fire District discovered the child lying unconscious on the floor. The child was rushed to Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center and then quickly airlifted to Phoenix Children’s Hospital. The child had suffered obvious head trauma and other injuries consistent with child abuse. He later succumbed to his injuries and died. Grow and the child’s mother, Marcelina Rich, told investigators the child’s head injuries occurred almost two weeks earlier when the child fell off of the front steps of their house and again a few days later at Eads Wash during a camping trip. Grow told them

that on the morning of the 26th, the child collapsed on the floor and was throwing up blood prior to the EMTs arriving. Security footage and timecards from Rich’s workplace established that she was at work when the child collapsed. Grow and Rich’s stories proved inconsistent with the child’s injuries. An autopsy by the Maricopa County Office of the Medical Examiner and Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Johnston determined that the child’s liver was almost split in half and the death resulted from acute abdominal trauma. He also determined that the manner of death was homicide, likely caused by an adult punching a child in the stomach.

Robed in symbolic judicial garb during a Nov. 19 Pine Strawberry Fire District meeting, Payson Regional Justice Court Judge Dorothy Little solemnly administered the oath of office to governing board members Mike Clark and David Burkhart. Voters in the fire district during the November election gave Clark 42 percent of the vote and Burkhart 37 percent. Forrest McCoy, the previous board chairman, was not reelected, garnering 21 percent of the vote. Burkhart, who served on the previous board as clerk, and the newly elected Clark join Tom Weeks, Dave Prechtel and Melvin Palmer on the district’s governing board. While Clark is a freshman member, he is well known in the two tiny mountain hamlets, having served from 2005 to 2013 as principal/superintendent of the Pine Strawberry School District. Clark is also a past president and current member of the Isabelle Hunt Memorial Library governing board and is one of the most visible members of the Gila County Sheriff’s Posse. He spends many volunteer hours aiding traffic control, crime scene protection, patrol work and transportation of prisoners. Clark’s introduction into fire protection in the Rim Country

Holiday spending will see a “modest bump” this year, but will be held back by budget concerns of those at the lower end of the income scale who have not seen salaries grow like those who are better off. That was the finding of the annual forecast of holiday spending released Monday by the Consumer Federation of America and the Credit Union National Association. “Many consumers continue to reflect significant concerns about their personal finances — most especially in the realm of

“A lot of people in Arizona got caught up in high-debt situations,” said Kelly Griffith, executive director for the Tucson-based Center for Economic Integrity. The center is affiliated with the Consumer Federation of America. The CFA and CUNA conducted a nationwide telephone survey of 1,009 people, by landline and cell phone, between Oct. 30 and Nov. 2, to get its outlook for the coming holiday. The survey found that while higherincome earners will be spending more this year, most consumers will spend the same as they did during the recession.

weak income gains,” said Mike Schenck, senior economist for CUNA, at Monday’s release. “Because of this we expect the increase in holiday spending this season to be modest.” While lower unemployment and higher stock prices signal an improving economy and should translate into more spending on the holidays, it appears that will only happen among those who have more to spend, the report said. That is likely to hold true in Arizona as well, where some people are still working to get out of the hole they found themselves in during the recession.

Merry-making marathon BY

TERESA MCQUERREY

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

Online the other day there was an article about how to counteract the side effects of enjoying the average 4,500-calorie Thanksgiving meal — exercise: hours and hours of exercise — the least was 7.7 hours of football or basketball (that’s playing not watching), the most was 20.6 hours of bowling, or you could hike for 10.3 hours. A better solution or at least a lot more fun — hitting all the holiday events coming our way this weekend and in the weeks to follow.

Defense, rebounding key to season PHS opens today in Goodyear tourney BY

KEITH MORRIS

ROUNDUP SPORTS EDITOR

Some nights the offense just isn’t clicking. So new Payson High varsity girls basketball coach Miles Huff is focusing on making sure the Longhorns take care of business on the other end of the court as the Horns prepare to open the season with two games today and two more on Saturday in the Goodyear Desert Edge Scorpion Shootout. “I would like to see a solid defense, fundamentally, and a strong rebounding team,” he said. “If we can accomplish that, we should be able to beat a lot of teams.” Huff plans to throw different looks at opposing offenses to keep them from getting comfortable. “There’ll be a few different wrinkles,” he said. “(Former PHS head coach) Jen (White) ran a lot of the same stuff, but I like to switch up the defense more. We’ll switch from a half-court trap to a fullcourt press to a half-court zone to keep teams guessing.” Playing in Division 3’s challenging Section 4, which features teams like perennial state power Winslow, defending state champion Fountain Hills,

Whiteriver Alchesay and Holbrook, among others, the Longhorns need to be stingy on the defensive end. “When you go against high-powered offenses like Winslow’s, you’ve got to make them work for all their points,” he said. “The biggest (advice) I’ve taken from my dad is make them play your game, as opposed to being reactionary and playing there’s.” His dad is former PHS girls basketball coach Rory Huff, who also spent more than 20 years coaching boys and girls basketball in Wyoming before moving to Payson. Huff takes over after two seasons as the junior varsity head coach for Jennifer White, who stepped down after three seasons at the helm to become the PHS athletic director. And he’ll try to lead PHS to just its second winning season in six years. The Longhorns went 13-17 last season. The Longhorns suffered a major blow when one of the top returning players from last year, junior Tessa Hintze, suffered a season-ending knee injury during volleyball season. “Not only on the court, but emotionally Tessa brings a lot emotion, high-energy offense and defense,” Huff said. “She’s a scorer, and it’s a huge thing to

have somebody put points on the board in girls basketball. So, it’s a huge loss.” But the coach is putting a positive spin on the situation. “As opposed to looking at it as a negative, it’s a space for someone else to step up and show what they can do,” Huff said. “At least we go into the season knowing Tessa’s not there, as opposed to a week before the state tournament. We’re hoping she can come back at full strength next year.” Without Hintze, only two starters return from last year. Fortunately, one of them is junior Arissa Paulson, the 5foot-11 standout who dominated in the paint in her first two years with the varsity should only get better this winter. Paulson made the AIA Division 3 AllSection 4 First Team in voting by coaches last season after averaging 13.2 points, 11.2 rebounds, 2.7 blocks, 2.3 steals and 1.0 assists. She ranked third in the state among Division 3 players in blocks and fourth in rebounds. Huff said she’s working on improving her post moves. And she’s ready to dish the ball off when necessary. “Arissa is so consistent in points and rebounding that she’s the major focus for teams and that could benefit the players around her,” her coach said. “She’s going to see a lot of double-teams See Girls, page 9A

Plenty to be thankful for in Rim Country The Thanksgiving weekend is often a time for our family gathering, with an abundance of great food, plenty of football games on TV, and so many stories that seem to focus on the outdoors in the Rim Country. The big one that may or may not have gotten away on a family fishing trip or the latest hunting adventure which always generates a story or two, makes excellent post dinner conversation as the pecan pie is quickly vanishing. If the story has been told enough, the embellishment will often bring the biggest laughs for those who were on the trip.

and it’ll force her to give it up. Her vision and passing ability this year is going to be huge.” Cori Barnett is the other returning starter who should prove valuable again both because of her rebounding ability and because of her leadership skills. She’s one of just three seniors on the team and both her and guard Sadie Dunman are expected to be the team’s vocal leaders. Huff said playing in the challenging Section 4 is a double-edged sword. “It’s a challenging schedule as soon as we hit sectional games,” he said. “I think that’s a good thing because we have to be at the top of our game every week or else we’re not going to be very successful. I think that’s good to demand that level of play every week. The only bad thing I see about it is trying to keep the morale up if we lose consecutive games. But I’d rather have to go against that high level of competition all year and be prepared when it really matters.” The Longhorns open their season Dec. 12 against Fountain Hills.

On Nov. 21, Arthur M. Guida received the medals he earned but never received while serving in the Navy during World War II. Guida was a radioman second class serving on various support command ships and saw combat in the Pacific and New Guinea. His medals were requested from the Department of the Navy by congressman Paul Gosar’s office in June. On Friday, the congressman presented Guida his medals which include Navy Good Conduct Medal, WWII Victory Medal, American Campaign Medal, Asiatic Button and the Honorable Service Lapel pin (Ruptured Duck). In attendance was his wife of 40 years Betty and daughter Rickie Allen. Also in attendance were Penny Pew and Sean Johnson members of the congressman’s staff along with Mayor Kenny Evans, County Supervisor Tommie Martin and several veterans and members of the community.

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

With Payson’s attorney of eight years leaving and his replacement recently turning down the job, things were looking grave for the town last week until they found Kane Graves. The council had extended an offer to Florence’s town attorney James Mannato after he interviewed several times and spoke at length before the council about his desire to leave the heat and live in the pines with his wife. Everything seemed a go, but when the town sent him an offer, they learned Mannato had taken a position as a Pinal County public defender. The job reportedly offers better pay, said Tim Wright, the town’s current attorney who becomes a Gila County Superior Court judge in January and will no longer handle any of the town’s legal issues. Mannato’s decision “has thrown us for a loop,” Wright said last week. Wright and Vice Mayor Michael Hughes looked through a stack of

Kane Graves, new town attorney

applicants, hoping to find a worthy candidate they might have overlooked. The town received 19 applications for Wright’s job earlier this year and interviewed five candidates. From them, the council interviewed Mannato and one other applicant. Hughes said he looked at the other candidates and at least two appeared to have the experience the town needs. At a special meeting last Thursday, the council invited Graves to speak.

Graves said he is a municipal law specialist with more than 20 years of experience. He grew up in Michigan and attended Arizona State University where he got a master’s in sociology. He then attended the University of Arizona’s law school. He has spent the bulk of his career working in Arizona, including as the City of Prescott attorney for seven years. While in Prescott, the city was experiencing a lot of growth and Graves said he was immersed in land use and zoning, which became his specialty. From there, he moved to Durango, Colo. and became the county attorney for five years. It too was a rapidly growing community and Graves said he dealt with big box stores and how to incorporate them into the community without creating an eyesore. He eventually moved back to Arizona, becoming the city attorney for Show Low for five years. “What sets me apart from your applicants is that my next position was with the city of Globe where I was hired as the city attorney,” he said.

Six months after he arrived, the Globe council canned the town manager. They appointed Graves the interim town manager and then permanent manager/ attorney for the next five years. Graves resigned from that position in 2012 and took a job as the town manager/attorney for Superior from January to August 2013. Most recently, he interviewed to be the Page city manager, but did not get the job. He has since worked as a self-employed attorney in Show Low. Graves said he does not aspire to be a town manager ever again and just wants to focus on law. “I think I have an idea of what your big issues are,” he said. “I have looked at your agenda for this evening and I am familiar with every dot and twiddle of what you have on your agenda tonight. I have done airport leases, WIFA grants, pretty much everything that you have on your plate this evening. “I give you my word that I will serve you to the best of my ability and the citizens of the town of Payson and I will protect and defend you when you don’t follow my advice.”

Rabies shots vital after latest reports BY

KEITH MORRIS

Rabies reports

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

Even the possibility of rabies could be a death sentence to your pet if it isn’t up to date on its vaccinations. The issue has gained new urgency in Rim Country following the discovery that a fox that scratched a Pine man had rabies. The presence of rabies in wild animals in the area makes it crucial owners protect their animals. According to law, pets who come in contact with a wild animal and do not have proof of being current on vaccinations, face a sixmonth quarantine at the owner’s expense.The bill could run to thousands of dollars, something many families simply can’t afford. “If they tangle with a wild animal and are not current with rabies vaccinations, it’s up to the discretion of Gila County Rabies Control to quarantine them for up to six months at the owner’s expense in Globe or a veterinary clinic in Payson,” said Alan Hallman, a doctor of veterinary medicine at the Star Valley Veterinary Clinic. “The owner will probably be looking at $3,000-5,000 in boarding costs, so it’s a lot cheaper to get the rabies shot. “If they tangle with an animal that tests positive and they aren’t up on their vaccinations, it may be better to put the animal to sleep and have them tested just so nobody else is exposed to it.” The disease is in the news after the fox in Pine tested positive for rabies. Hallman said the only reliable way to determine if an animal has rabies is to euthanize it and dissect the brain. So exposure to a rabid

The Gila County Health and Emergency Services Department shared the following from the state’s record on rabies cases. 2009: State 280, Gila County 7 2010: State 114, Gila County 2 2011: State 70, Gila County 0 2012: State 60, Gila County 0 2013: State 70, Gila County 5 2014: State 117, Gila County 5 animal “can be a death sentence for animals not vaccinated,” he said. Even if the animal survives a long quarantine, the cost to the owner and isolation of the animal for that amount of time provides great incentive for people to make sure their pets are current on their shots. If a pet has up-todate vaccinations, the quarantine last for only about 10 days. Cats and dogs should receive their first rabies shot between the ages of three and six months, one a year later, and a booster shot every three years after that. “It’s one of our most effective vaccines, that’s why we can go three years,” Hallman said. “And, if they tangle with a wild animal, we recommend a booster.” He said cats get rabies more often than dogs, but horses and sheep can also contract the disease.

“We certainly have our share of rabies in Rim Country, and it seems to run in a cyclical nature,” Hallman said. “It’s carried by coyotes, mountain lions, foxes and javelina. Any mammal can get it, but it’s less likely in rabbits and rodents like squirrels, moles and mice.” According to Wikipedia, rabies is a viral disease that causes acute inflammation of the brain in humans and other warm-blooded animals. Early symptoms can include fever and tingling at the site of exposure. These symptoms are followed by one or more of the following symptoms: violent movements, uncontrolled excitement, fear of water, an inability to move parts of the body, confusion and loss of consciousness. After symptoms appear, rabies almost always results in death. The time period between contracting the disease and the start of symptoms is usually one to three months. However, this time period can vary from less than one week to more than one year. The time period depends on the distance the virus must travel to reach the nervous system. Rabies is transmitted to humans from other animals, usually from scratches or bites. Saliva from an infected animal can also transmit rabies if the saliva comes into contact with a mucous membrane of another animal or human. Most rabies cases in humans are the result of dog bites. In the U.S., bats are the most common cause of rabies and fewer than 5 percent of rabies cases in humans are from dogs. The rabies virus travels to the brain by following the peripheral nerves. The disease can only be diagnosed after the start of symptoms.

Cost sharing spurs Firewise thinning From page 1A The study underscored the impact that both cost sharing and community education can play in promoting Firewise clearing of overgrown brush. In Rim Country, the Tonto National Forest has spent millions thinning overgrown forests on the edge of most communities, but few of the communities themselves have thinned the brush on private property. As a result, even wildfires beyond the cleared barriers can easily set off multiple fires within a community, since a big crown fire can throw embers on homes a full mile from the fireline. The unincorporated communities of Pine and Strawberry have set the pace when it comes to clearing brush on private property. The mostly volunteer committee spearheading the effort with the help of the PineStrawberry Fire Department has worked on a series of firebreak trails and raised money and sought grants to haul away thousands of tons of brush residents have trimmed and left curbside. Similar efforts in Payson have mostly stalled. The Payson Town Council has taken little action to adopt an overhaul of the building code to reduce the chance a wildfire will spread through town, despite the recommendation of the fire department nearly two years ago and the impact of the deaths of the 19 firefighters in Yarnell. The firefighters

were caught in thick brush trying to make their way to the fireline where other crews were making a vain stand against the fire on the outskirts of the unprepared community. The Payson council received briefing books with detailed amendments to the fire code, adapted to Payson conditions from a recommended set of revisions in the International Fire Code. Council members expressed concern about trying to make homeowners clean up their properties and promulgation of new regulations and put off consideration of the fire code changes until spring. Come spring, the council postponed adoption of the recommended changes until later in the year — after the council elections. The proposed changes in the building code would mostly affect future construction or people seeking permits for major additions or remodeling for their properties. The International Code includes things like fireresistant building materials, especially on roofs and porches. So far, the overhaul hasn’t shown up on the council agenda. The town did offer lip service to the establishment of a volunteer Fire Smart Committee, to urge homeowners to voluntarily clean up their own properties. The committee sponsored a poorly attended community education forum about a month ago, but committee members say they don’t have the money to launch an all-out effort and have

received only minimal support from the town. The town does offer free Firewise inspections by the fire department to recommend measures that would greatly reduce that a fire in a nearby house would spread or that embers from a distant wildfire would set off a holocaust in town. Fire inspectors will survey the property and recommend brush and tree clearing plans and point out fire dangers like porches built in a way that embers or approaching flames could get underneath and set the house on fire. However, the town offers no financial assistance for people seeking to clear the brush and excess trees from their property and little public education. Moreover, Gila County has made no move to consider an overhaul of its building codes to reduce the threat of a wildfire spreading through a community. The most endangered communities in Rim Country are generally in unincorporated areas, but the county building codes don’t require fire resistant materials or other key elements of a Firewise building code. The county doesn’t even require subdivisions built in the middle of the thick and overgrown forest to have a fire department. That means a house fire in a community like Deer Creek with no fire protection can easily spread into the surrounding forest, posing a danger to nearby communities — many with little or no fire protection themselves.

GCC students’ outburst of creativity STORY AND PHOTOS BY KELLY GRIFFITH ROUNDUP INTERN

In clay, cloth, canvas, pixels and stone, the artists of Gila Community College (GCC) presented their 8th Annual Student Art Show and Sale. A brilliant explosion of creativity filled the classrooms and hallways of the college last week, with mediums that included digital photography and Photoshop; oil, acrylic and watercolor; graphite and charcoal; wearable art; ceramics; sculpture; paper crafts; jewelry and even cake decorating. Wearable quilting, by students in GCC instructor Leslie Peacock’s classes, made a colorful addition to the show this year. On display were jackets, some reversible, a few with matching purses. One overachieving student, Karen Bruns, even made matching hangers with her excess fabric. “She uses everything,” said Peacock.

Peacock has been teaching this fine art at GCC for seven years. Most of her students repeat this course for years. For example, Bruns has taken this class for six-and-a-half of the seven years Peacock has been teaching. “She’s way out of her box and is very creative,” said Peacock of Bruns. In addition to teaching this

exclusive art at GCC, Peacock has an online website (leslie peacock.com) and teaches classes at Quilting Sisters Quilt Shop (where she gets most of her fabric), here in Payson. Nearly all of her jackets have even won awards. Art student Michael Marcham has a remarkable talent for drawing. Marcham uses graphite and charcoal to create matchless works and spends about 40 hours on each piece. “Some of them I don’t want to part with,” said Marcham. Tilla Warner, another talented art student, uses oils to create her exquisite paintings. One of her pieces she called “Spring Delight” was on display, however, this one was not for sale. She spotted a flower at a friend’s house, took a photo of it and used it as reference for this particular painting. Warner is in her fifth semester at GCC and is a student of instructor Jim Strong, who teaches oil painting.

Quick action saves woman in grocery store From page 1A quiver and the heart can’t pump blood, causing cardiac arrest, according to the American Heart Association. Doctors inserted a pacemaker and Kristin will have to take heart medication the rest of her life. Despite a barrage of tests, doctors could not find anything wrong with Kristin’s heart. They suspect it may be genetic. Kristin said she is in good

health and exercises regularly and had gone on a run the morning of the event. Kristin, whose children range in age from 15 to 4, has been with Safeway for three months. She’ll be back to work next Friday, Dillon said. “I cant wait to get back,” she said. “I am not one to sit around for long.” She recently came in with a thank you card for the staff and to give everyone hugs.

“All the doctors, and I saw a lot of them, said that if they would not have done CPR from the time it happened until the paramedics came that I would not have survived,” Kristin said. “It is pretty amazing.” Youngcourt is not certified in CPR. Dillon hopes the store can get an Automated External Defibrillator or AED. Dillon has recommended Youngcourt for the National Heart Association Good Heart Award.

A silent battlefield, a chance encounter and a mysterious name inspire writer’s quest for lost family history BY

The cannons (top photo) mark the spot where Union troops made one of history’s most dramatic last stands at the Battle of Chickamauga. The fence line (above) marks the spot where a Union blunder opened an almost disastrous hole in their lines. of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Payson and its remarkable effort to help pretty much everyone locate their ancestors and so make history personal. But on this day I sought the ghosts of other people’s ancestors among the more than 4,000 men on both sides who died here in the course of two days of desperate fighting. Nearly a third of the men on each side were killed, wounded, captured or missing after the battle, making it second only to Gettysburg in total casualties. The battle had grave consequences in the single bloodiest year in American history. The Battle of Chickamauga pit-

ted about 60,000 Union troops commanded by the prickly, prideful, brilliant, fatally flawed General William Rosecrans and some 65,000 Confederates commanded by the brilliant, irascible, quarrelsome, defensive fatally flawed General Braxton Bragg. After years of blunder, setback and maneuver, the Union seemed

poised to cut the South in two by seizing Chattanooga in Tennessee — a vital railway center. Rosecrans had neatly maneuvered Bragg out of Chattanooga, but bungled his pursuit of the retreating Confederates. The two sides clashed almost by accident on the banks of the Chickamauga — Cherokee for

“River of Death.” Bragg bungled the first day of the battle, making uncoordinated, piecemeal attacks on the fragmented Union forces. The rivalries and outright hostility among the Confederate generals frustrated Bragg’s plans, with generals delaying or ignoring orders to attack.

The second day of the battle also started badly for Bragg, with an order for an attack at dawn going astray in the night. The delayed assault gave the Union time to build breastworks and

I stood in the late light on the lush green swale where the Union line broke from ego and pride and bad luck on Sept. 20 of 1863 on the battlefield of Chickamauga. I had followed the trail of my father here, who in his turn had quested vainly past this place for clues to the fate of his father’s, father’s father. They all had died a long time ago, although the loss still seemed fresh. After my father retired, he spent years traveling around the country seeking the path of his ancestors — who arrived from Germany in the middle 1750s and spread ever westward with the frontier. He had laboriously uncovered the birth records, the marriage records, the farm deeds — and a fragment of the military service records for David Aleshire — a drummer boy shot in the head during General Sherman’s infamous march to the sea through the rebel state of Georgia. I didn’t pay enough attention to his quest at the time. I was young and likely to live forever and not deeply interested in the activities of long-dead ancestors. I only paid deep attention after he joined that ghostly company. I did not know then that the effort he had so laboriously pursued has gone high-tech — nor that my own quest would yield dramatic and surprising fruit — with a little help from the Church

Rim Country boasts great genealogy resources BY

TERESA MCQUERREY

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

Whether you are veteran detective when it comes to your family history or just getting started on the journey to track down your ancestors, Payson has plenty of genealogy resources. Want to test the waters on your own? The Payson Public Library, 328 N. McLane Road, has a subscription to Ancestry.com available for use. Anyone can come to the library during normal hours and use one of its computers to access the service. The library is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Wednesday, and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday. It is closed Sunday and major holidays. For more information, call (928) 474-9260. The Northern Gila County Genealogical Society, 302 E. Bonita St., is another great resource, not only for materials to help in your search, but also with volunteers to assist you from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Thursday, Friday and Saturday or by appointment. The Genealogy Library collection includes videos, microfiche and microfilm, cemetery records and miscellaneous magazines, state books, biographies, pedigree charts of NGCGS members and maps. The collection includes “how to” references and

military records. The Northern Gila County Genealogical Society library volunteers will do research at the rate of $10 per hour with a minimum charge of $10. Please be specific in the information you are seeking — specify full names, dates and places you wish to have researched. Submit your request to: NGCGS, Inc., Research Department, 302 E. Bonita St., Payson, AZ 85541 or to Judy Voran by email at bjvoran@ gmail.com. You can also call the Genealogy Library for details about services or send an email. The phone number is (928) 474-2139; the email address is ngcgs@suddenlinkmail .com. To learn more about the Northern Gila County Genealogical Society, attend one of its meetings, at 1:30 p.m. the first Thursday of each month. The recent Family History Fair, at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, showcased its genealogy resources. The Payson church, located at 913 S. Ponderosa St., just south of the Payson Regional Medical Center, has a Family History Center with several computers, subscriptions to numerous online genealogy resources and volunteers to help . The fair included several sessions on using the Internet in your search. Dr. Val Sullivan, who does professional

genealogical research, recommended three websites every beginning genealogist should investigate: • Family Search at familysearch.com — the website developed by the LDS church; it is free, but Sullivan said a user account should be created; it has digitized records and catalogue, family trees, Wiki and a learning center. • Cyndi’s List at cyndislist.com — developed in 1996 by Cyndi Howe, this is a free comprehensive site with categorized and a cross-referenced list of links that direct you to genealogical research sites online; it has more than 300,000 links. • Ancestry.com — this site has both U.S. and world collections; it offers a free learning center with Web content, articles, blogs, tutorials, videos and webinars; for full access, a paid subscription is required. Victoria Farnsworth recommended a couple of “out-of-the-box” Web resources for genealogists: Google Alerts, an automatic way to keep track of Internet postings regarding research on your family; using eBay to find family memorabilia (Bibles, diaries, etc.); and Find-a-Grave, findagrave.com, where photos of cemetery headstones are posted, users may put a request online to have photos taken of headstones in specific cemeteries).

The Kubiaks’ best hope is for visitors to drop off food donations, which will be given to the local food bank. “We have a trunk for food collections and we have found more and more people bring something when they come to see the lights,” Marlene said. To really crank up the Christmas spirit, drop by the home to enjoy a remarkable holiday display and, while there, drop off a few cans or packages of food to help the less fortunate. Festival of Lights

The Sixth Annual Pine-Strawberry Festival of Lights Celebration will be held noon to 8 p.m. tomorrow, Nov. 29 in the Community Center Cultural Hall. At 5:30 p.m. that evening events will include a jingle bell parade led by Santa and Mrs. Claus, Christmas tree lighting, Christmas carols, photos with Santa Claus, music and refreshments.

So much to be thankful for this year Christopher Creek has many things to be thankful for, and yesterday’s weather was one. A Thanksgiving afternoon in the mid-60s was nothing if not the crown on a royal fall season. If you recall a year ago we were in the middle of a three-day weather event, which yielded five inches ANOTHER WEEK of rainfall and three inches of IN THE CREEK snow. Looking back on the day over the last three decades, the vast majority have been quite nice. However, back some 10 or 11 years ago, high winds knocked out power here in the Creek about 7:30 a.m., which caused a panic for those who had a bird in Rod Britain an electric oven. This year Thanksgiving found me in the Valley at the home of my niece, Amy, and her husband Kevin Bingham. They had arranged for temperatures in the 80s as a kind of ‘in your face’ welcome to their guests from the state of Iowa. It was a four-generation affair with my 90year-old mother and my niece’s 2-year-old, Charley, in attendance. A couple weeks back, Kenn Gorecki stopped by the Plant Fair Nursery in Star Valley and the fella

he spoke with got Kenn up to speed on when and how to relocate trees. He discovered that right now was the ideal time for transplanting, so last weekend he enlisted the help of Bill Handy and his backhoe. The deal was made to move several evergreens in trade for two young ornamental oaks that had been planted too close to the cabin. Now these were not one of your half-dozen native varieties. They grow tall and come fall have bright red leaves that turn to blood red and they haven’t dropped yet. Does anybody know what they are? Marcia’s Johnny spent many years down in an area east of Yuma around a little farming town of Rolle. Over the years he has gone down to visit that area about the time the produce harvest is in full swing. He would load his pickup and haul a load to the Creek and share with everybody. Donnie and Marcia stopped by Monday with cabbage, spinach and cauliflower. There’s nothing like fresh produce! We met a nice Valley couple at Creekside Saturday evening. Joe and his wife were staying at Christopher Creek Lodge and headed up on top of the Rim early in the morning to select their Christmas tree. Christmas tree permits are available at the ranger station in Payson. They are open Saturdays until noon. Permits are $15 and a

Bo Ficula’s brother, Ross, and nephew, Kyle, rolled by Monday pulling a trailer loaded with kayaks and a four-wheeler moving south for the winter. Ross and Kyle are actually here escaping the early winter weather back home in Illinois! A visitor from the North Pole is expected on Saturday morning, Dec. 6. He is scheduled to have breakfast at the Creekside Restaurant, so if you would like to get the kids’ pictures taken with Santa, stop by. It’s billed as “Breakfast with Santa” and it will be interesting to see if he gets pancake syrup in his beard! Then Santa told me that he’s going to make a stop at Alex and Irma Armenta’s home to see the grandkids, Ivey, Eva and John Paul. His mission is to find out if John Paul has been a good boy this year! From Camp Tontozona to the Territorial Cup, the 9-2 Arizona State Sun Devils take on the 9-2 University of Arizona Wildcats as this paper hits the streets on Friday. This game is touted nationally as the rivalry game of the year. It’s the first time both teams are relevant this late in the season. This one is not just for bragging rights … and that’s another week in the Creek.

Depression years were good for us I wouldn’t blame someone if he or she read the title to this column and said, “Well, that’s it; Tom has finally lost it.” But I’ll bet you something — the person saying it wouldn’t be old enough to have lived through the Depression. You see, those of us who lived through the 1930s, especially as children, remember the Great Depression a lot differently from the way it’s depicted. We were there. We saw it unfold — one day at a time. And we learned some things. They are good things to know, and I’m going to share some of them with you by talking about a typical ’30s Sunday. There’s no question about it, books say the Depression is just about the worst thing this still-young-and-still-learning nation has ever had to go through. But the books measure happiness by the jobs we have, the size of our homes, the kind of food we eat, the clothes we wear, and whether or not our checking account balances say we have enough to buy that new coat, pair of Reeboks, or shiny new car we’ve been eying. But you know what? We humans are perverse little devils. We refuse to go by what the books say. When push comes to shove, we measure how well things are going by altogether different standards. Sure, we all love to have fancy YOUR TURN stuff, but when it comes right down to it we’re happy to settle for the things we really need. What do we really need? A warm, dry, comfortable home, decent food, decent clothes, some good friends and a little fun once in a while. How about you? How do you Tom Garrett feel about it? I thought so. What did I tell you? We’re perverse little devils. What were the 1930s like? Picture a time when we — we being both us as individuals and us as a nation — had no doubts that money was a scarce commodity. Picture a time when whatever money we had went into the basic necessities. But mainly, picture a time that came right after more than 12 years of a booming economy, 12 years during which the wealthy spent money like it was water and even the average Joe was doing doggone well. You see, it was the contrast between the “Roaring Twenties” and the definitely not-soroaring thirties that shook up people and made its way into the history books, but you should have lived the real thing. Here’s a Sunday morning that really happened: Just barely old enough to understand what was going on, I was lying on my belly reading the comic strips when I heard my oldest brother Bill tell Frank — the next oldest — “Hey! Don’t go over to Manhattan today! Or if you have to go, don’t take a walk on Wall Street. It’s raining businessmen again.” Bill left, and I asked Frank what he was talking about. Frank laughed, picked up the Daily News and showed me a headline. What it said I don’t remember, but I do remember what he told me about it. It seems that some man had climbed out of a 14th story window on Wall Street and jumped. That much I understood, but the part I got all wrong was what Frank told me about the reason the man had jumped. He said it was about “two hundred thousand dollars.” I was so dumb back then that I thought that Frank meant the man had jumped to GET two hundred thousand dollars, so I put down the funny papers for a few minutes and plowed my way through the article, sure that I wouldn’t jump out a 14th story window no matter how much you paid me, but interested in how the system worked. I had to read the article twice before I finally understood it, and even then I just could not get it through my head that somebody would jump out a window because all he had left of his fortune was an amount of money that most people had never seen in one piece in their lives — and would probably never see. You know what, Johnny? I still don’t get it. Anyway I gave up trying and went off to the Victory Theater down the street, where I paid a whole seven cents for a Sunday ticket and enjoyed a double feature, a cartoon, and a Three Stooges short while I ate up a large box of malt balls, which cost me another nickel. Seemed like a pretty good Sunday to me. No room left. I started out to tell you about a typical 1930s Sunday, but I guess I’ll have to finish up next week.

Songs of thanks had some lyrics Happy Thanksgiving to all. This weekend, let’s take the time now and then always to reflect on the great blessings that we have had in our lifetimes. Let’s give thanks for our parents, teachers and other adults who provided nurturance, protection and guidance when we were young. Let’s give gratitude for our good health and appreciation for our spouses, families and friends. Let’s show gratefulness for the wonderful country in which we live — where we are free to make our own choices (as ill-advised as they sometimes are). And above all, let’s give thanks for the bravery of those who keep our country, states and communities safe and healthy — the men and women of our military, police and fire departments; search and rescue and all who work in the medical and care professions. This Week’s Music Trivia Question

DJ’S MUSIC Through the years, TRIVIA many recording artists have expressed their thankfulness in one way or another through their music. In the 1960s, country crooner Eddy Arnold thanked his lucky stars, DJ Craig adult contemporary singer Jack Jones thanked heaven for little girls and pop artist Neil Diamond thanked the Lord for the nighttime. In the 1970s, country-pop singer John Denver thanked God he was a country boy, the Swedish dance-pop group ABBA was thankful for the music they were singing and all the joy they were bringing, and pop-rock singer Andrew Gold gave gratitude to his pal and confidant “for being a friend.” In the 1980s, the country group The Oak Ridge Boys thanked God for kids; the fatherdaughter country duo, The Kendalls, thanked God for the radio; and the countrygospel group, The Statler Brothers, gave praise to loved ones when they sang “Thank God I’ve Got You.” One of my all-time favorite “thank you” songs was the 1970 country-pop hit “Thank God and Greyhound,” in which the singer describes how his girlfriend “done him wrong,” and then how his feelings of betrayal turned to thankfulness. From the bus station, this singer turned actor (he appeared on the Beverly Hillbillies TV show and with Buck Owens hosted Hee Haw from1969-86) sang, “Now you come to me with a simple goodbye. You tell me you’re leaving, but you won’t tell me why. Now we’re here at the station and you’re getting on. And all I can think of is thank God and Greyhound you’re gone.” Is this country-pop singer A) Sonny

This Thanksgiving weekend, let’s take time to reflect on the many blessings we have had in our lives — including our good fortune to live in this great country. James; B) David Houston; C) Roy Clark; or D) Freddie Hart? Be the sixth caller and have the correct answer, you’ll win a CD of your favorite artist or genre of music. Good luck. Last Week’s Music Trivia Question

Last week’s trivia question asked you to name the folk-rock singer-songwriter-guitarist-harmonica player who recorded the banjo-driven, 1973 song “Turkey Chaser.” As a vocalist, he broke down the notion that a singer must have a conventionally good voice in order to perform, thereby redefining the vocalist’s role in popular music. Over the course of his long music career, this artist charted 29 hits, with four of them reaching the Top-10, all in the late 1960s — “Positively 4th Street,” “Rainy Day Women #12 &35,” “Lay Lady Lay” and his Rock & Roll and Grammy Hall of Fame hit “Like A Rolling Stone.” The options were A) Bob Marley, B) Arlo Guthrie, C) Pete Seeger and D) Bob Dylan. The correct answer was Bob Dylan. Bob Marley was a legendary Reggae singer-songwriter in the 1970s and 1980s. Folk singer, Arlo Guthrie, son of legendary singer Woody Guthrie, was popular in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Though an accomplished singer, Pete Seeger is probably best known for his songwriting. He wrote Trini Lopez’s “If I Had A Hammer,” the Byrds’ “Turn! Turn! Turn!” and Peter, Paul & Mary’s “Where Have All The Flowers Gone.” Guthrie and Seeger often appeared in concert together. Congratulations to last week’s trivia winner, Aaron Chernov, who has won several times before. When I asked Aaron if there were any

newsworthy happenings in his life since the last time he won, he replied “Well, I’m really excited to tell you that Macie (his daughter) and I are down in the Valley waiting for the tattoo place to open. We’re going to get daddy-daughter tattoos! She’s is going to get one that says “Daddy” and I’m going to get one that says “Macie.” As last week’s trivia winner, Aaron, chose a CD of the top country music hits of the 1970s. When he stopped by to pick it up, he could hardly wait to show off his new tattoo. There it was, over his heart — two fish hooks making the shape of a heart, with “Macie” inked above them and “Gone Fishin’” underneath. A final note

Pictures that I’ve just added to my website are from the recently held Rim Country area Girl Scouts’ “Me & My Guy” date night, held at the Payson Senior Center on Main Street, this year featuring a Hawaiian luau theme. The annual fall dance is a time for the scouts to enjoy an evening out with their father, grandpa, uncle or other significant adult male in their lives. This year, hula skirts and island shirts filled the room, as the young ladies and their “guys” shaked, rattled and rolled on the dance floor. Keeping with the island spirit, the girls Congo-ed around the room and showed their Hawaiian spirt by going “as low as you can go” with the Limbo. Judging by the smiles on the scouts and their dates’ faces, a good time was had by all. As always, have a great Rim Country week! DJ Craig, (928) 468-1482 Website: www.djcraiginpayson.com

A great resource for holiday leftover how-to By now, the big turkey THE dinner is history, except for VILLAGE all the leftovers. What to do? Watch the Food Channel — the many different shows are sure to have every which way to use those great leftovers besides my favorite: a turkey, dressing and cranberry sauce sandwich. Janet I saw one recipe from Snyder Ree Drummond, my favorite cook on the Food Channel — she made turkey tetrazzini that looked wonderful. Hint, hint, my wonderful children, I want her cookbook for Christmas (and there is double volume version at Walmart!). No news!!

All my sources are quiet this week, it must be in preparation for that big meal — cleaning house, cooking, baking cookies, all of which I have done already. This week I made sugar cookies, peanut butter cookies, snicker doodles and oatmeal

banana cookies. I was busy all day! Just before our big Domino Diva Christmas party, which will be on Wednesday, Dec. 10 at 1 p.m. at the Tonto Village fire station, I will start all over again, and maybe add a batch of fudge or a pan of chocolate brownies. Yum! Bring a gift for “Dirty Santa” and a side dish for the lunch. A spiral ham will be provided. There will also be a drawing for a live Christmas tree and a few other surprises. If you have played dominoes with the Divas this past year, you are urged to attend. There is always a lot of catching up to do and a lot of laughs. There is plenty of parking in the back of the fire station, just go around the corner of the fire station. Birthdays

On Nov. 28, Tonto Village resident, Jeff Leonard will have another birthday. On Nov. 29, Pamela Furobotten, former chaplain of the Hellsgate Fireflies auxiliary will another candle to her birthday cake, her 91st! Pam is such an active lady, she is just as busy as a bumblebee — the years don’t seem to matter to her. One of her passions is oil painting and

she is very good at it. Pam also enjoys a cup of tea along with tea sandwiches such as watercress sandwiches. She is English after all! Pam was a lucky survivor of World War II, having lived in England with her soldier husband. Pam became a citizen of the U.S.A. — and she is mighty proud of it. Casey Stluka of Tonto Village II will also celebrate her birthday on Nov. 29. Casey is the proud wife of her Hellsgate Firefighter husband Chad. Chad earned his captain’s badge from Hellsgate just a few weeks ago. On Dec. 5, Scherry Duncan of Mead Ranch and former treasurer of the Hellsgate Fireflies and professional photographer will add another candle to her birthday cake. Happy birthday to each and every one of you. Looking ahead on the December calendar, there will be a Hellsgate fire board meeting at 5:30 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 10 at the Star Valley fire station. That’s all the news for this week. If you would like to add something of interest to this column, contact me at: janet_snyder 2001@yahoo.com or call me at (928) 4789935.

PAYSON ROUNDUP LOCAL FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 2014

Humane Society thankful for community support BY

CHANDRA CUSHMAN

HUMANE SOCIETY OF CENTRAL ARIZONA

The Humane Society of Central Arizona would like to thank the Payson Wolves MC and the Nomads MC for hosting last Saturday’s fundraiser at The Journigan House. It was an exciting day for the shelter to be able to showcase the newly wrapped, lowcost mobile clinic, the public display of the second annual Wall of Humane Hope donation envelope program Society of Central and the chance to show off some of Arizona HSCAZ’s most lovable canines. The Wolves MC and the Nomads ADOPTION MC brought in $1,500 for the shel- OPTIONS ter as well. There was live music, drink specials and a 50/50 raffle. Humane Society merchandise was available for sale along with an information booth on how to become involved in all of the shelter activities. The mobile clinic was parked on the property and showed off its beautiful new outside wrap and called attention to the event. Last summer, HSCAZ had the opportunity to purchase the used mobile clinic from Healing Hearts Animal Rescue and Refuge in the Valley. The mobile clinic is used to vaccinate and provide procedures on the animals under their care without the trauma of taking them off property. Bi-monthly low-cost vaccine clinics and spay neuter services will be open to the public.

The Wall of Hope was on display featuring the art created by students at Payson Elementary School. This second annual Wall of Hope display held 200 envelopes. The dollar amounts printed on the face of each envelope, from $1 to $200 represented the donation amount requested to support the animals. The Wall of Hope will be on display at HSCAZ through Dec. 30. The happiest attendees were the dogs that got to mingle with the folks and share their love with as many new people as possible. The animals were clear this was an opportunity to show off their social side and let the people having fun see them outside of the shelter. We continue to be so grateful for the generosity of our community as we recently passed the two-year anniversary mark in the new shelter. This milestone has only been possible due to the individuals and groups who embrace our mission and want to share our journey in helping the furry ones without a voice. Low-cost vaccine clinic

There will be a low-cost vaccine clinic from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Dec. 6 at the HSCAZ, 605 W. Wilson Ct., located south of Main St. off of S. McLane Road. Cash only will be accepted and fees are as follows: Dogs — Rabies $10, Da2PP-CV $15, Bordatella $10; Cats — Rabies $10, FVRCP $10, FeLV $15; microchips $20. For more information, call (928) 474-5590. Adoption Special

Help our furry friends get a home for the howlidays. Our popular adoption special is back and continues

through Dec. 31. Draw your own adoption fee, ranging from $20 to $45. All animals over 5 years are just $15. Stop by the shelter Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. (closed Sundays and holidays). Here are just two of the wonderful pets currently available for adoption. All pets are spayed or neutered and current on vaccinations. KC

KC is a sweet cat who loves a good petting, but not too much. The more the merrier isn’t how she likes to do things; in her opinion, less is best. She’s a golden girl set in her ways. But that’s not to say she doesn’t mind sitting on the couch with you and enjoy some hang out time. It takes her a couple days, like any cat, to adjust. So if you can give her the time that she needs, it’ll pay in the end with love and purring!

BOGEY

I am an outgoing boy with lots of energy! I love play time! Running and wrestling are the best! I do admit to lacking some manners — I can be a little mouthy when I get excited. I just love to play so much that I don’t know how to contain myself! I will do best in a structured home that can teach me the rules. Older kids are fine, but no little ones, please! I love water! Splashing and pawing in the pool is the best! And I will play fetch, too. I am not so good at bringing it back, but I will chase a ball all day! I am a little picky with my dog friends. I get frustrated when they don’t do what I want! What can I say? I like dogs that let me be the boss.

From page 1A

avoid a possibly battle-ending collapse. But dissension soon came into play on the Union side as well. The disaster started when the stiff, short-tempered Rosecrans berated a general for not following orders quickly enough in front of his subordinates. Later in the battle, Rosecrans received word that the shift of a division had left a dangerous gap in the middle of his line. As it turns out, the division in question hadn’t actually moved. But Rosecrans sent an urgent order to the general he had humiliated to move his division to cover the non-existent hole. Baffled but unwilling to get chewed out again, the offended general shifted his division — thereby creating precisely the hole Rosecrans sought to fill. As luck would have it, at just this moment, Confederate General James Longstreet led his fresh troops right into the newly created hole in the Union lines. The attack split the Union Army in two. The left flank shattered and fell back, with Rosecrans leading the retreat in confusion all the way back to Chattanooga. Now I stood on the open field where the line broke, imagining the chaos and confusion. The battlefield was scattered with monuments and plaques. I’d spent hours driving a short distance, then jumping out and dashing off to one little hill or another to read the plaques explaining which units fought in which positions. But the light had grown long across the fields where so many had died. I resolved to hurry along, for I knew the battle had yielded up one of the most dramatic, desperate last stands in American war history. As the bulk of the Union Army shattered and fell back, General George Thomas rallied the right flank, now in danger of being surrounded, cut off and crushed. Instead, they organized a last stand on Horseshoe Ridge. I reached that fatal hillside as the sun set. Down the ridge I could see a cluster of cannons and a few more plaques. Yielding to compulsion, I hurried through the long grass to read one more plaque. Staring down, I gulped in astonishment. Here the 18th Battery of the Ohio Light Artillery rushed to the line at about 2 p.m. The battery remained in action until 7 p.m., helping to repulse repeated Confederate attacks. The plaque included the name of the commanding officer: Captain Charles C. Aleshire. A shudder swept through me in this terrible, hallowed place. I had no idea whether he connected somehow to the line of Aleshires my father had traced back to Ohio. But I sat in the grass alongside that cannon, connected in my bones to that terrible fight — when Americans killed one another with unparalleled ferocity. The silence pulsed in my veins as the deer came out from the trees to nibble in the meadow once swept with musket balls and grapeshot. But this is not the end of the story. The next day I went to the battleground at Chattanooga, where Bragg had besieged the ragged Union Army after it retreated. The Confederates put their cannons on the hills overlooking the town and nearly starved out the Union, until General Ulysses S. Grant broke the encirclement and turned the tide of the Civil War.

I went to the Park Service seeking clues to what happened to Charles Aleshire’s light artillery battery. I wound up standing alongside an old stone wall on Lookout Mountain, where the Union troops had finally driven off the Confederates and relieved the siege of the city. Here I encountered another wanderer — searching the ground with an intensity I recognized. “Amazing to think of them here,” I said to him. “Can’t believe they climbed this mountain and then fought such a battle.” He agreed enthusiastically, his Irish accent evident. Turns out he was a farmer from Iowa, a friendly, charming, energetic man — brimming with life and good humor. He’d just turned 70, but couldn’t bring himself to retire. Family lore maintained he had an ancestor who fought for the Union here. The ancestor had immigrated from Ireland. No sooner had he stepped onto the dock in New York, than he was forcibly enlisted in the Union Army. He fought bravely, became an officer. But the farmer was vague on the details. He happened to be passing through Chattanooga and on a whim drove up to the battlefield. I gave him my card, urged him to look me up if ever he made it to Payson. “Pete Aleshire,” I said, shaking his strong, farmer’s hand. “Ned Bierce,” he said. “Pierce,” I repeated. “No,” he said, “Bierce, with a B.” “Ah,” said I. “Got it.” We parted on that hillside, with life and with death between us. That night in the hotel room, I reviewed my photographs in the camera. I brought up the picture of the plaque about the 18th Ohio Light Artillery. Another shock went through me. The plaque had the names of the four officers in command of the battery, two of them wounded in the desperate last stand. I read the name of the second in command of the battery: 1st Lieutenant Albert S. Bierce. But the story’s not done yet. I came back to Payson, with my photographs and my deep connection to that battle. Then I went to the Family History Fair sponsored by the LDS church. The church has spent decades gathering historical records then making them available to anyone interested. I attended the session and sought out the help of Lisa, who I’d met in one of my writing classes. She had mastered the use of a great array of websites and digital records to conduct with astonishing speed the kind of family sleuthing that took my father years. I didn’t expect much from the request, given that my father’s quest had turned up no connection with the mysterious Charles Aleshire. Lisa quickly pulled up Civil War records then dipped into Ancestry.com. She discovered that Charles Aleshire was the cousin of my direct ancestor — the drummer boy who carried a musket ball in his head all his life. Then to my astonishment, she found the Revolutionary War records of Conrad Aleshire, another ancestor. All from a computer terminal in Payson. I just wish I could tell Dad that I had found the ghosts he sought so diligently — when I wasn’t paying attention. But then, maybe he knows already. I do I know this. When I offer up my prayers of Thanksgiving this year, I’ve names to add to the list.

Confederates besieged Union troops trapped in Chattanooga from Lookout Mountain.
