Driver warned Stopped for lack of baby seats before crash that killed children by
The Roundup has learned a man who crashed his vehicle north of Payson last week, killing three children and himself, was pulled over just before the wreck, but allowed to keep driving with the children unrestrained. An Arizona Department of Public Safety trooper pulled Jason Jeffrey Bob, 28, of Mesa, over around 8 p.m. at the Walmart parking lot in Payson for driving without headlights, said Bart Graves, media specialist with DPS. The officer then cited Bob for driving without having the chil-

Prom turns into a fairy tale night With the theme based on the musical movie, “Into the Woods,” the 2016 Payson High School prom didn’t disappoint. The girls wore fairy tale princess dresses, long, flowing and sparkling with bling, while the boys had on tuxes with shades of green and silver. The girls did their hair in complicated braids and buns reminiscent of the middle ages, while the boys made sure theirs didn’t look shaggy. During one song, almost all of the 240 students who came to the dance got into a line to dance to the right and left, front and back in an astonishingly cooperative manner. In another sweet move, the student body elected Brandon Nicholson, a special needs student, as Prom King and Mackenzie Mann, a track and field star as Prom Queen. The two danced for all of the attendees under the bright lights set up in the huge Mazatzal Casino hall. Most of all, it seemed the students who attended, either with a date or with a friend, had a magical night until midnight when the clock struck and all had to rush home before their parents turned them into pumpkins — or maybe squash.

Could be the best of years for Payson schools — raises for everyone (finally), reading specialists for the little tykes, mentors to help teachers boost test scores, a new bus (finally), stipends for coaches and music directors, better computers, new textbooks (finally) and a chance to dig the insurance plan out of a hole. On the other hand, could also be the seventh year without a raise, looming school bus breakdowns, more budget cuts — another budget held together with duct tape and teacher grumbles. All depends on state legislators — and state voters. PUSD Superintendent Greg Wyman offered the Payson School Board a “best of times, worst of times” budget analysis recently, with the difference hanging on stuff the school board has no control over. For instance, the budget state lawmakers will consider this week has several major unknowns, including whether the state will switch to current-year funding and how quickly lawmakers will phase out the extra money the district had been getting to operate Payson Center for Success as a charter school. Those two items alone could represent a $500,000 hit to the district’s roughly $13 million maintenance and operations budget. Moreover, if voters approve Proposition 123 in the May 17 special election, the district would pick up an extra $480,000 in the current, nearly finished fiscal year and similar dose in the fiscal year that starts in July. And if that’s not enough, the budget included a couple of other unknowns, like whether the district will get $300,000 in “forest fee” money from the federal government to compensate for the high percentage of non-tax-paying federal lands in the rural district of 2,400 students. So Wyman broke the budget down into bestcase and worst-case scenarios, with a mind-bending series of steps in between. Overall, the best-case scenario represents a 4.5 percent increase in the base budget, while the worst-case scenario would produce a 1.8 percent increase. The school board has already decided to give the 300 employees an average raise of 4 percent if voters adopt Proposition 123 — the first raise in seven years, except for a one-time stipend bonus last year. Roughly 64 percent of that pay boost would go to classroom teachers. The school board focused mostly on the pay raise at a recent meeting, voting to adjust the salary schedule after a long discussion. Mostly the school board agonized about whether to raise the maximum salary by category by 4 percent — or leave the pay for each position capped. The board ultimately decided to leave the current salary caps in place pending a formal salary study, which means administrators, teachers, bus drivers and everyone else at the top of the pay range

dren buckled in. He had two children with him at that point. The officer also cited him for not having insurance. It is unclear if the driver then subsequently bought any child seats. Bob was released and the family continued out of Payson. Two hours after that initial stop, they crashed about 1.5 miles south of Pine. Graves said no state law allows officers to hold a vehicle for not having the proper child restraints. Graves said the officer “strongly encouraged” Bob to get child seats.

A Payson man will spend the next 5.75 years in prison for a series of crimes. On April 18, Judge Gary Scales sentenced David Meredith, 38, to the Arizona Department of Corrections for aggravated assault, endangerment and leaving the scene of an injury accident. Meredith pleaded guilty to all of the charges. At 11:30 p.m. on May 3, 2015, Payson Police Department officers went to a single vehicle collision where they learned Meredith had wrecked the vehicle and then fled on foot,
according to Deputy Gila County Attorney Duncan J. Rose, who prosecuted the case. Two passengers in the vehicle were seriously injured. In a second case, at 11:40 p.m. on Oct. 20, officers responded after Meredith attacked two females. Meredith again fled the scene. Officers arrested him two days later. As part of the plea agreement, Meredith admitted to eight prior felony convictions and received an enhanced prison term. Meredith was also placed on two years of supervised probation, which will be served consecutively to his prison term.

The Lorraine Cline Poker Run will again surpass donations of $30,000 and delivered a ton of fun, despite Game and Fish. Laci Sopeland, whose grandmother inspired the Poker Run, reported that Arizona Game and Fish wardens waited near the end of the run and issued tickets for a lack of helmets and goggles for the kids, open containers of alcohol, lack of OHV stickers,
out-of-date registration or DUIs. “We did advertise you needed helmets and goggles,” said Sopeland. “We’re always about safety. There were (about) 500 people out there that are avid hunters. They have been in the woods, they are all about coming back safe.” Sopeland said if Game and Fish had come to her and requested a time to brief everyone on what’s required for safety out on the trail, she would have

Break out your hedge clippers and get ready to clean out your gutters. This Saturday, May 7, marks Wildfire Community Preparedness Day. Town officials are asking all residents to take a little bit of time and get their properties ready for wildfire season. “Firewising is not rocket science,” said Jim Tye with the local Firewise group, which encourages homeowners to clear brush and other hazards away from their homes. The Payson Town Council recently proclaimed May 7 Wildfire Preparedness Day, asking residents to help the town become more fire adapted. Payson sits in a Wildland Urban Interface, a community at risk of wildfires due to the thickets of trees in the surrounding forest. The town has left promotion of Firewise protections to private groups and homeowners associations and hasn’t yet even adopted a building and fire code attuned to the threat of wildfires. In the unincorporated communities of Pine and Strawberry, the Pine-Strawberry Fuel Reduction committee staged an all-out effort to educate the community and raise money this weekend, with events throughout the weekend and speakers to talk about the danger posed by wildfires. The area has been in a drought for years making it more than likely we will experience
a major forest fire. The question is when, Tye said. “Some parts of the country have hurricane and some have tornado, unfortunately we have fire season,” he said. But there are steps homeowners can take to protect their property and possibly survive a major fire. Tye said homes won’t be destroyed by a huge wall of fire bearing down on the community, but likely from blown embers. Winds can carry fire sparks as far as three to four miles from the fire front, landing on roofs and porches and catching homes on fire. “It will look like a red snowstorm,” Tye said of the embers. Firewise homes will have a better chance of survival. Simple things homeowners can do include: • Cleaning a yard up so it looks more like a park and less like a jungle • Clearing debris from the gutters • Removing firewood that is stacked up against the home • Raking leaves away from the home • Trimming trees that overhang the roof • Install 1/16 inch screen over roof vents Not only does this help protect your property, but it may reduce your insurance rates. Tye said State Farm and USSA offer a 5 percent reduction in insurance rates for Firewise properties and neighborhoods. Tye said Saturday is a good day to start protecting your home from the risk of wildfires.
“It is too late to Firewise when smoke is on the horizon,” he said. To learn more about 2016 Wildfire Community Preparedness Day, visit WildfirePrepDay.org. Around Rim Country, several communities are planning activities for Wildfire Community Preparedness Day. The Kohl’s Ranch Board of Directors plans to meet and implement its evacuation plan into the Firewise Community Wildfire Protection Plan. “We will then have our community evacuation plan printed onto magnetic materials so homeowners can attach them to their refrigerators for easy access,” said Karen Higel. On June 11, Kohl’s Ranch will host its annual Firewise Clean-Up Day. Residents can leave brush in bags on the curb and volunteers will pick them up and take them to the Blattner Pit. In East Verde Estates, residents will get together Saturday to clear a four-acre buffer zone in the thick underbrush on the west side of the community. The East Verde Park Firewise Committee was one of more than 100 projects nationally to win a $500 award from State Farm. The subdivision’s Firewise group worked with a contractor to cut the brush and small trees. On Saturday, community volunteers will pile the brush up for removal by a private company. The effort underscores the mix of private, volunteer and public efforts needed to protect a community like Payson.

Pleasant Valley firefighters saved a Young home from burning to the ground last week. A fire broke out a back bedroom of the single-family site-built home around 6:30 p.m. Thursday in the 300 block of Hilltop in Young, off Baker Ranch Road. The homeowner smelled smoke and found the bedroom on fire. She closed the door and then other doors in the home before exiting. That likely helped keep the flames from quickly spreading throughout the home, said Gary Lollman, Pleasant Valley Fire Department chief. It is unclear if the home will be saved or torn down due to the damage. Officials are still investigating how the fire started, but an electric space heater was on in the room at the time. Lollman said it could have been an electrical issue. So far, it is not being investigated as suspicious. No one was injured.
Join volunteers Wednesday to cheer on local Special Olympic athletes as they prepare for the summer games in the Valley. Starting a 9 a.m., athletes will march down the Beeline Highway from Chapman Auto to Western Village for the annual Law Enforcement Torch Parade. Every year, the Olympic torch makes its way through Arizona on its way to the Valley and the start of the track games. Last year, some 80 athletes paraded down the highway to an enthusiastic chorus of waves and honks from passing motorists. Volunteer Lucy Karrys said they want to see the parade grow even bigger this year and are asking supporters to come out and walk with the athletes. Karrys suggested that people wear their team colors of turquoise or bright green in support. Businesses are invited to bring a vehicle with their name on it and drive in the parade. If you have a bicycle and the nerves, you can even join Gila County Sheriff’s Office deputies as they ride the flag down the highway. Every year, after the athletes reach Western Village, law enforcement continues to carry the torch. Last year, they rode to the turnoff of State Route 188. The torch was then transported to the Valley. Anyone is welcome to participate in the bike ride and there is a police escort for safety. Similar Law Enforcement Torch Runs
take place across the nation. The mission is to raise funds and awareness for Special Olympics. All money raised from the run supports Special Olympics athletes and programs in Arizona. Recently, local Special Olympic athletes competed in a meet in Flagstaff despite chilly temperatures. Ruthie Hodges, 8, local star athlete, sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” beautifully, for the event, Karrys said, adding she hit every note. For more information, call Karrys at 928595-2136.
Driver warned before fatal crash From page 1A Bob reportedly fell asleep at the wheel, crashing a white SUV into a tree. Bob died on scene along with a 6-year-old boy, 15-month-old boy and 5-month-old girl. Passenger Ophelia Stephanie Begay, 27, of Pinon, Ariz., survived. She was the mother of the oldest child
while Bob was the father of the 15-month-old and 5-month-old children. Pine-Strawberry firefighters found the body of the 6-year-old boy six feet away from the vehicle. They found the 15-month-old boy still inside the vehicle, but under a pile of debris, unrestrained. Firefighters found the 5-month-old girl
still in her car seat and alive. The car seat, however, was not properly attached. The girl was airlifted to a Valley hospital, but died shortly after arrival. No one witnessed the accident. Fire officials said had the children been properly restrained they might have survived. Begay has not been charged.

Stuck in the lifeboat with our children
• May 4, 1776: Rhode Island, the colony founded by the most-radical religious dissenters from the Puritans of Massachusetts Bay Colony, becomes the first North American colony to renounce its allegiance to King George III. Ironically, Rhode Island would be the last state to ratify the new American Constitution. • May 2, 1939: New York Yankees first baseman Lou Gehrig benches himself for poor play and ends his record streak of consecutive games played at 2,130. Gehrig was the first major-league player to have his uniform number retired. • May 5, 1961: From Cape Canaveral, Fla., Navy Commander Alan Shepard Jr. is launched into space aboard the Freedom 7 space capsule, becoming the first American astronaut to travel into space. The suborbital flight lasted 15 minutes and reached a height of 116 miles. • May 3, 1986: 54-year-old Willie Shoemaker, aboard Ferdinand, becomes the oldest jockey ever to win the Kentucky Derby. Even as a full-grown man, “Shoe” was just 4 feet 11 inches tall and 98 pounds.
Oh. Wow. This is tough. So last week Deputy State Treasurer Mark Swenson darn near convinced us we’d made a big mistake in urging you to vote for Proposition 123. State Treasurer Jeff DeWit essentially makes the same case elsewhere on this page today. So let’s line up the arguments against the ballot measure that will settle an inflation-funding lawsuit brought by a coalition of school districts, by injecting $350 million annually into K-12 schools. About 60 percent of that money will come from increasing from 2.5 percent to 6.9 percent the distributions from the cash surplus of the State Land Trust for the next decade. Critics like Swenson and DeWit offer powerful arguments against the proposition — mostly centered on the plan to take more money out of the State Land Trust — which is mostly reserved for schools anyway. So here’s the logic lineup: 1. The state has plenty of money to settle the lawsuit without increasing distributions from the state land trust. 2. Taking 6.9 percent out of the trust for the next decade will probably keep the cash account from growing — which means in the long run it will cost the schools money. 3. School funding will drop again by $350 million annually 10 years from now, the dreaded “financial cliff.” 4. Taking money out of the trust fund rewards lawmakers for breaking the law and withholding the inflation adjustment. 5. Several changes packaged with the proposition could allow lawmakers to abandon the inflation adjustment in a future crisis. 6. Lawmakers could easily fund the inflation adjustment simply by canceling recently approved corporate tax cuts. Well, all good arguments. So we spent the weekend tossing and turning — pondering those arguments. Now, sober and somber, we’ve decided: We’re still voting for Proposition 123. Here’s why: 1. Schools need money now — right now — as in three years ago. 2. We’re almost certain lawmakers will refuse to either drop tax cuts or use the surplus to fund K-12 schools if this deal falls apart. 3. A return to lawsuit limbo would paralyze responsible fiscal planning — for both schools and the state. 4. Most school districts have already said they’ll devote the bulk of the roughly 4 percent increase in budgets from Proposition 123 to teacher salaries, slowing the flight of teachers from the profession. In Payson, 65 percent of the money would go to teachers — the first raise in seven years. 5. Did we mention the schools need the money — like now? Granted, in the long run — Proposition 123 will likely cost the schools money. Further granted, in 10 years we’ll have a heck of a problem. And no doubt about it, state lawmakers will have gotten away with defying the will of the voters. But imagine you’re in a lifeboat, out of food, adrift in the middle of the ocean. A cruise ship wallows past. A deckhand furtively tosses a half-eaten turkey into your boat as the ship lumbers past. Obviously, the idiots aren’t going to stop for you. Do you: 1. Throw the turkey at the retreating ship, in a flare of righteous indignation. 2. Curse, shake your fist, bemoan the indifferent world — but hold tight to the turkey. Alas, you gotta do one or the other. The turkey might not get you to shore. But it’ll get you through the night. And that’s why we’re voting for Proposition 123.

Prop. 123 is less money for schools; raises property taxes every seven years. Voting NO on Proposition 123 keeps this money for its intended purpose, benefiting our schools forever. Saying yes cuts the I wish I could support Proposition 123. I wish trust fund by over a third, costs our schools (and it was in the best interest of our schools, teach- ultimately our taxpayers) billions of dollars, ers and taxpayers. I wish it lived up to the claim keeps teacher pay at 50th in the country, raises of being “more money for schools without raising property taxes, and creates a huge fiscal cliff in taxes.” Unfortunately it is none of these things. 10 years that will hit hardworking taxpayers. Anytime politicians tell you they Let me say part of that again. Right have found a way to spend money now Arizona is 50th in the country in without raising taxes, they are either teacher pay. If Prop. 123 passes, and raising debt or raiding a trust fund.

opposite, it is purposefully written to make it possible for the money to go to administrative raises without a single dollar going to a teacher or classroom. And a dirty little secret of Prop. 123 is that it will also increase trust fund payouts to the state hospital and state prisons, among other nonschool related spending increases. Bottom Line: Proposition 123 is LESS money for schools, and RAISES property taxes (see AZ Republic Nov. 18, 2015). It is shameful that the proponents are misleadingly telling the public otherwise. Quite frankly, if the Yes on 123 campaign was a business instead of a political campaign it would be guilty of fraudulent advertising. It seems to be an unfortunate rule of thumb in today’s political world that since the politicians supporting Prop. 123 will be out of office in eight years or less, they care little that when this plan expires in 10 years our school finances will be a mess and taxpayers will foot a huge bill. Before being elected as treasurer, I had never run for office. Like many, I was frustrated with the poor financial decisions being made on our behalf, and took a huge pay cut to help our government make smarter decisions with taxpayer money. We can do better. We can solve the inflation funding lawsuit without raiding the trust, provide higher pay to teachers, and save taxpayers from a huge fiscal cliff. But the only way Arizona gets there is by voting NO on 123, as I will be doing.
Grand Canyon under siege from uranium mining industry by President Russell Begaye, Navajo Troy Honahnie Jr. and Dawn Hubbs
Nation,
Ha ŧay g’am, Wi:Nyi Gacha, Ongtupqa, Tsékooh Hatsoh, Chimik’yana’kya deya’a. (“Grand Canyon” in Havasupai, Hualapai, Hopi, Navajo, and Zuni languages.) You may not recognize these words, though you know the place they describe. The crown jewel of the U.S. National Park System, a place that leaves all Americans awestruck, one of the seven natural wonders of the world: The Grand Canyon. We, the people of the Havasupai, Hopi, and Zuni tribes, the Hualapai Nation, the Navajo Nation, and other tribes, know the Grand Canyon as a place of internationally recognized beauty and unparalleled conservation value. But it is much more than that. We trace our ancestry to the Grand Canyon, and many of our ancestors are buried here. We consider the Grand Canyon sacred. It is a place where we see and understand our past, and it is vital to our future, as an eternal home and source of spiritual sustenance. The Grand Canyon is truly under siege. For decades, uranium mining — first within Grand Canyon National Park, then just outside its boundaries — has marred our canyon home. As recently as the mid-2000s, thousands of new uranium mining claims were filed just north and south of the Grand Canyon National Park.
Uranium mining has left a toxic legacy — poisoning our waters, our homes, our families, and our children. More than 500 abandoned, un-reclaimed mines contaminate the Navajo Nation, next door to the Grand Canyon. The Hopi have yet to determine the full environmental and human cost of uranium milling waste left by mining companies. We enthusiastically supported the Obama administration’s 20-year withdrawal of more than 1 million acres around the Grand Canyon from new uranium mining in 2012. And, we have watched in alarm as the uranium mining industry and some of our elected officials have attempted to overturn this withdrawal, promising to do away with it come 2017. We cannot survive intact as people without an intact Grand Canyon. In the waning days of your administration, we call on you, Mr. President, to do what is right for Grand Canyon, for the people and cultures that depend on Grand Canyon, and for the American people as a whole: designate the Greater Grand Canyon Heritage National Monument. This is no abstract idea. We have worked closely with congressional partners to develop the Greater Grand Canyon Heritage National Monument Act. The Act lays out a reasonable and necessary strategy for protecting 1.7 million acres of culturally and biologically invaluable land surrounding Grand Canyon. We are skeptical that Congress will do its job and pass this important piece of legislation. If it does not, we hope this legislation will serve as a template for you, Mr. President, to declare a monument under the

Antiquities Act, which authorizes the president to protect this kind of place from threats. Despite false claims to the contrary, the Greater Grand Canyon Heritage National Monument will not affect private property rights, grazing, hunting, fishing, or needed forest restoration within the monument. It will, however, prohibit new uranium mining within monument boundaries, protecting our sacred lands from an industry that is neither adequately regulated by the federal government, nor adequately self-regulating. It is an industry with a disastrous history and the potential to create irreversible damage to our home, our sacred lands, and a world treasure. Importantly, a monument will also honor the important historical stewardship responsibilities assumed by tribes in the region, and create new opportunities for tribes to work closely with federal agencies to ensure that the Grand Canyon remains vital, sacred, and sustaining for generations to come. This centennial year of the National Park Service, as America celebrates its commitment to conservation, is also a bittersweet moment for many tribes, as we remember the lands that were taken from us. In this centennial year, in a place of such profound importance to so many Native Americans, we ask you, Mr. President, to finish the job you started. Stand with us and with the millions of Americans who cherish the Grand Canyon and will applaud its protection. Honor our rich heritage and promising future as a people. Celebrate conservation in a place where we as native people have known and practiced conservation for millennia, and where the idea of conservation was reborn nearly 100 years ago. Mr. President, We respectfully ask you to designate the Greater Grand Canyon Heritage as a National Monument. President Begaye, Navajo Nation, Honahnie Jr. is environmental policy adviser and assistant to chairman Honanie, Hopi Nation and Hubbs is director, Department of Cultural Resources and Tribal Historic Preservation Officer, Hualapai Tribe.

Payson schools budget scenarios From page 1A
currently above the cap.
for their position won’t get the average 4 percent raise. The district would add two kindergarten teachers to reduce class sizes to 20, while continuing to offer all-day kindergarten – although the state cut support for extending the day two years ago. Average class sizes in other grades would remain the same in as in past years. Average class sizes range from 25 students per class in 1st grade to 31 in high school. Otherwise, the potential hard choices between the best and worst case scenarios remain ahead – based on what lawmakers do with the budget this week and what voters decide about Proposition 123 on May 17. The list of possible budget disasters remains up in the air. That includes:
$140,000 for textbooks For the first time in years, the district hopes to get more textbooks — including a K-8 series for reading and a language arts series for grades 9-12, which would help line up the curriculum with the new, national standards. The budget includes $30,000 for textbooks for a new series of dual-enrollment courses offered on campus through Gila Community College, which lets students not only take advanced classes but get college credit — with support from the ASPIRE Foundation. Next year, the district would invest in math texts for grades 9-12 to the tune of $175,000.
$126,000 charter The state provides roughly $1,000 per student extra for charter schools, which prompted districts like Payson to establish their own charters — like PCS. Lawmakers sought to save money by cutting off the extra funding for district-funded charter schools, but might phase out extra money. The district may lose $63,000 this year and $63,000 next year — or take the whole hit this year. PUSD will maintain Payson Center for Success either way, since it now remains the only alternative high school program in north county. $300,000 forest fees Every year or two, Congress has reauthorized forest fee money, intended to compensate for all the non-property-tax-paying federal land in the district. Once upon a time, the money came in steadily from logging and grazing fees. Now, it depends on the fitful generosity of Congress. PUSD has $420,000 stashed in this fund, which it has been reluctant to spend until it hears about next year’s allotment. Wyman said the “initial indications” suggest the district will get $300,000 in the upcoming budget year. Gila County has the money, but hasn’t yet distributed it. Current year funding Lawmakers will likely change the basis on which they pay districts based on enrollment, mostly to save the state money. Currently, school districts get per-student funding based on enrollment in the previous year. That allows districts to set their budgets for the upcoming school year based on real enrollments in June. This provides a cushion for districts like Payson suffering from declining enrollment. However, charter schools get money based on “current year” enrollment, since most are growing. Lawmakers have said they intend to switch to current year funding for district schools as well. That will cost the district an unknown amount if enrollment continues to decline. $85,000 teacher salaries Currently, the district has so many highly qualified and very experienced teachers that it gets extra money for teacher salaries under the state’s funding formulas. But the district has been steadily losing veteran teachers to retirement and replacing them with entry-level teachers. That will likely reduce the teacher experience bonus the district has been getting. The district has already identified some ways it can cut costs, including savings of about $140,000 across the board by tightening department budgets. In addition, the district hopes to save $130,000 by increased use of the “Smart Schools” program, which encourages teachers to retire, start collecting benefits from the state retirement system, but also continue working — at 75 percent of their old salary. Wyman won board support for a whole list of possible additions to the budget. Here are the increases the district is now hoping for, with a total price tag of roughly $2.5 million over the next three years, unless the legislators again start cutting. $408,000 — 4 percent raise The bulk of the Proposition 123 money will fund an average 4 percent – the first boost in the salary schedule in seven years. Normally, the employees get a bump every year – but the schedule has been frozen in place since the Great Recession. The board decided not to lift the salary schedule cap, which means people at the top of the pay range for their position won’t get the raise. About half of the district’s employees are teachers, with a cap for the nine-month contract of about $63,000. First year teachers make about $33,000. Only five teachers are
$83,000 for reading specialists The district would use federal Title I money intended to help low-income students to hire a new reading specialist at Rim Country Middle School and increasing the reading specialist position for Julia Randall Elementary from part time to full time. $70,000 for achievement teachers Two years ago the district created half and full-time positions for mentor teachers, who would work with the rest of the faculty at each school site to boost test scores. The system has worked well enough that the district wants to convert half-time positions into full-time positions. Some of the extra money will come from a $25,000 savings by eliminating two half-time volunteer coordinator positions, intended to help recruit and support parent and other volunteers to work with students on campus. The money for the positions will come out of the districts’ federal Title I money. $66,000 for kindergarten teachers The district wants to add two kindergarten teachers to reduce average class sizes from about 27 to 20. The district would help reduce the total $100,000 cost of the move by cutting three paraprofessional positions now helping teachers manage oversized classes. This would give the district eight kindergarten teachers for 160 students. $150,000 for three more teachers The district’s leadership team wants to add teachers to boost student achievement, especially in the elementary school grades – where the state now requires students to pass a reading test to move from third to fourth grade. The new teachers would include three elementary school teachers. $50,000 for RCMS vice principal The district wants to turn a half-time teaching position that helps out with issues of student discipline into a full-time position. The teacher would operate as vice principal but would remain on the nine-month teacher salary schedule for now. $175,000 for coaches and others The district would like to start paying coaches, music directors, cheer squad directors and others out of the regular budget, rather than requiring those teachers taking on extra duties to raise the money from the community to cover their stipends. The coaches and extra curricular directors already spend many hours working with students, so the board hopes to not make them also spend extra time on fundraisers to keep the programs alive. Many of the other costs of the extra curricular programs will still come from fees and fundraising. $275,000 for new technology The money would provide more training for the staff that run the district’s computers and continue to upgrade the district’s computer systems — part of a five-year plan. The money would also provide money for Chromebook carts in all classrooms and provide more training to help teachers make use of the new technology in the classrooms. The project will likely depend on landing more grants. $400,000 for building maintenance The budget includes money for critical building maintenance needs to replace money cut by the state. Projects include things like the replacement of doors, roofs, concrete, playground equipment and other projects. $200,000 for new bus and a van Most of the district’s buses and vans for transporting children have accumulated 200,000 miles or more. The district hopes to get a new $156,000 bus and two new $20,000 sedans this year and next, and a third 84-passenger bus in 2018-19.

Mental health needs of inmates a major challenge Gila County The nation’s jails and prisons have replaced hospitals as the primary facility for mentally ill individuals. The average stay for mentally ill inmates in jail is longer than for non-mentally ill inmates primarily because mentally ill inmates often find it difficult to understand and follow jail and prison rules. Erratic and uncontrollable behavior in jail populations is nearly always attributable to mental illness. Mentally ill inmates cost more than non-mentally ill inmates for a variety of reasons, including increased staffing needs, prescription medication costs and the cost of specialized housing. Protecting public safety and ensuring the health and well-being of residents are essential functions of county governments. County governments own and operate a majority of all jails in the U.S. and are given the task of providing for the mental and medical health needs of the inmates. According to the Department of Justice, about 15 percent of state prisoners, and 24 percent of jail inmates report symptoms that meet the criteria for a psychotic disorder. A 2015 National Association of Counties (NACo) survey of county jails found that addressing the mental health needs of inmates is the most common concern for county jails. Almost half of all counties face challenges in coordinating mental health treatment for inmates, particularly in rural areas. Mental health professionals, treatment centers and community organizations are underrepresented in rural Arizona. According to the Arizona Rural Health Office, rural areas in Arizona frequently have shortages of behavioral health professionals and specialized behavioral health services, as well as high turnover rates for service providers. “Addressing mental illness and medical conditions in our county jail is a priority in Gila County as well as at the national level,” says District 1 Supervisor Tommie Martin. “Counties strive to effectively provide the criminal justice populations with greater access to health care and treatment. We are exploring the services NACo provides to see if we can become more effifrom
cient in our operations.” The Gila County Sheriff’s Office works to pair jail inmates with mental illness with appropriate care. Historically, jail staff were trained to maintain order and control of the inmate population while being firm, fair and consistent in doing so. With the increase in incarceration of individuals with behavioral health and mental illness, it is imperative that jail staff receive training in the handling and care as well as identifying the signs of mentally ill individuals. While this addresses handling and identification of mentally ill individuals, jail staff are not trained counselors, psychologists or psychiatrists. The Gila County Sheriff’s Office currently has a part-time counselor on staff, as well as a contracted licensed psychiatrist. The counselor and psychiatrist work hand in hand with jail staff in identifying individuals with mental health needs. Jail staff also utilizes local mental/behavioral health crisis team counselors to come to the jails and perform evaluations on individuals suffering from mental health issues. “Having local mental health agencies involved in performing evaluations on individuals in custody also allows those individuals a path to treatment and care once they are released from custody. Our biggest challenge is the limited availability of mental health services in our county to support these individuals. The second biggest challenge is that once an individual is released, there is no mandatory follow through, and no funding to pay for follow up care,” according to County Sheriff Adam Shepherd. Counties have a significant responsibility to provide health care to those in jail with mental illness and medical conditions. For many county jails, connecting the jail population that has a mental illness to the type of treatment they need is a pressing issue. Collaboration between the county justice system, county health system and other community-based organizations is essential to the success of treatment programs and for meeting the immediate needs and long term needs of those with behavioral health conditions who come into contact with the county jail.

Voting provides mental health benefits to citizens Gila County Researchers say expressing your right to vote may help promote good mental health, and in turn, good physical health. While researchers concede that casting a ballot is not directly related to better health such as lower cholesterol, studies have shown that being a politically active member of a democratic society can provide mental and physical health benefits. Part of the overall picture of good health is to learn how you can empower yourself. You can have some control over the things within your control, such as voting. Engaging in your community is a part of that. Research currently funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation focuses on the influence of political participation on mental health. Studies have shown that voting and being engaged in the political process can reduce the risk of future psychological problems, especially among those with a history of depression.

The accessible voting unit, designed for persons with disabilities, is an ExpressVote unit. The tablet the county uses for the roster is a complementary ExpressPoll unit.
The Special Statewide Election of May 17 will truly be special for Gila County voters. This election will be conducted using the new election equipment recently approved by the Gila County Board of Supervisors in January. “We are pleased to provide a voting process that utilizes technology for a more efficient process,” says Board of Supervisor Chairman Michael Pastor. “This new equipment allows for an overall cost savings for elections, while continuing to provide a quality voting experience for the residents of Gila County.” The voting process will be more streamlined with the use of electronic poll books and ballot on demand printers. This new technology allows for the use of Vote Centers in Gila County. Vote Centers allow a registered Gila County voter to visit any vote center and vote their ballot without regard to being in the right precinct polling location. Vote Centers are located in the Payson, Star Valley, and Globe-Miami areas. The new equipment will be on display and available for demonstrations at the Gila County Administration Building, 610 E. Highway 260, Payson on May 4, 5, and 6 during normal work hours. Stop by and see how it works.

Study finds WIC food improves preschool diets In the U.S., where one of five children entering elementary school is overweight, a healthy diet is critical for preschool children, who are setting their eating patterns for the future. In 2009, more fruits, vegetables, whole grains and low-fat milk were included in the food voucher package provided by USDA’s Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC). As a result, the diet quality improved for the roughly 4 million children who are served by WIC, according to a study by researchers at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital in Oakland, UC San Francisco and UC Agriculture and Natural Resources’ Nutrition Policy Institute. “The WIC program is a vital program that we offer in Gila County. WIC helps new mothers and young children eat well, learn about nutrition and stay healthy,” says District 3 Supervisor John Marcanti. “Although the findings only showed significant improvement for consumption of greens and beans, the other areas for which WIC has put in important efforts — increased consumption of whole fruits rather than fruit juice, increased whole grains — all show trends in the right direction,” said lead author June Tester, a physician at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland, “and there is opportunity for further study in the future when more years have passed after this landmark change in the WIC package.” For the UC study, published in the April 2016 issue of the journal Pediatrics, researchers analyzed the diets of 1,197 children, ages 2 to 4 years, from low-income households before and after the 2009 change in the food package. The researchers used the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to compare a nationally representative sample from 2003 to 2008 with diets in 2011 to 2012. The researchers calculated the Healthy Eating Index (HEI-2010), which is a score with 100 possible points measuring adherence to dietary guidelines, from two recalls by parents of their children’s diets over the previous 24-hour period. For children in households using WIC, this score increased from 52.4 to 58.3 after the policy change. After adjusting for characteristics in
the sample and trends in the comparison group, the researchers showed that there was an increase of 3.7 points that was attributable to the WIC package change. This represents important evidence of an improvement in the diets for these children in WIC households. “Vegetables are part of a healthful diet, but in general, children don’t eat enough of them,” Tester said. Using the Healthy Eating Index, the researchers calculated the Greens and Beans score, which counts dark green vegetables and includes any legumes, such as beans and peas, that were not already counted as protein foods on a different score. After the food package was changed, the Greens and Beans score increased for children in WIC, but not for their counterparts. Roughly half of the children in WIC households had eaten some vegetables, whereas only one in five non-WIC children had consumed any green vegetables at all in the two days their parents were surveyed. The change in the WIC food package is an important policy change in the effort to improve the quality of diets of young children, said Tester, a pediatrician. Tester noted that the results of this study will be useful to the Institute of Medicine committee that is reviewing and assessing the nutritional status and food needs of the WIC-eligible population and the impact of the 2009 revision to WIC food packages. The committee will make recommendations for changing the food packages. “Increasing consumption of nutritious foods such as green leafy vegetables and whole grains in the low-income children served by WIC will help them establish healthier eating patterns for their future,” said co-author Patricia Crawford, UC Cooperative Extension nutrition specialist with UC ANR’s Nutrition Policy Institute. The switch from whole milk to low-fat milk was well received by the clientele and did not result in decreased milk consumption among the preschoolers, noted Tester, Crawford and co-author Cindy Leung, postdoctoral scholar at UCSF Center for Health and Community.

Care is needed when operating a car in an attached garage; it could contaminate indoor air.
Attached garages and indoor air quality Gila County Air quality issues in your home due to an attached garage may seem unlikely since the garage opens to the outside, but in reality it has been proven to contain major sources of pollutants that can get into your home’s air. These sources include: • Car-based emissions • Gas-powered machinery • Chemicals such as pesticides and herbicides High concentrations of carbon monoxide and other pollutants can be produced when starting a car in a garage, even with the door open. Driving a car into the garage and then closing the door can result in high levels of pollutants due to various chemical emissions being emitted over the next several hours as the car’s engine cools down. The emission systems on gas-powered machinery have been found to be even less efficient than those of cars. Stored noxious chemicals can spill or leak. The air in the attached garage can make its way into your home in a variety of ways. Examples include: • Through gaps in the weather-stripping of the door to the house or propping this door open • Through penetrations, small cracks, and tiny holes in the walls and ceiling that separate the garage from the home • If a pressure difference exists between the from
house and the garage Solutions include limiting the amount or sources of pollutants in the garage and to verify there are no leaks between the garage and the house. Some ways of doing this are: • Never run your vehicle inside the garage even with the garage door open • Move noxious chemicals out of the garage and into a ventilated storage shed • Weather-strip the house door and keep it closed by installing self-closing hinges • Seal all penetrations, repair or replace drywall tape that is peeling off the walls and ceiling • If applicable, weather-seal the attic access cover or confirm it is adequately sealed • Hire a licensed contractor to test your garage and home for air tightness • Install an exhaust fan to vent garage air outside which when running will lower the air pressure in the garage relative to the house thus preventing air from moving into the house. Extra care should be taken to not cause a backdraft situation if you have a natural draft appliance such as a gas water heater or furnace in the garage. It is recommended that a licensed contractor be hired for this type of installation. For more information, please feel free to call the Gila County Community Development Division at 928-474-9276.

In its second year of handing out scholarships ranging from $500 to $1,000, the Friends of GCC Scholarship Foundation distributed a record amount of money to a record number of students. “We gave out 18 scholarships and raised $12,700,” said board president John Wakelin. This is more than the organization has ever granted. Wakelin attributed the increase in donations to an increased awareness of the organization and its good works. “It’s getting around by word of mouth,” said
Wakelin. “We are receiving donations from the general public and other organizations are stepping up to help.” This year, the Friends of GCC hosted a movie fundraiser that did quite well.

Supervisor Martin represents region On April 21, the County Supervisors Association (CSA) Board of Directors re-elected Gila County Supervisor Tommie Cline Martin (District 1) and Coconino County Supervisor Liz Archuleta (District 2), as Arizona’s representatives to the Western Interstate Region (WIR), an affiliate of the National Association of Counties organization (NACo). NACo is a national organization representing counties before the United States Congress and federal agencies.

The WIR appointment serves a vital role in advancing Arizona’s interests in NACo and before the U.S.
Congress. Martin expressed gratitude for her colleagues’ support of her re-appointment, stating, “I greatly value my fellow supervisors’ confidence in my ability to serve our state on important natural resources issues. We need to put our federal lands back to work, producing both environmental and economic returns. By working with WIR I can continue to advocate for the ongoing health, functionality, productivity and sustainability of our lands.” CSA President and Coconino County Supervisor Mandy Metzger said, “Supervisor Martin and Supervisor Archuleta bring years of valuable experience and strong personal awareness of the issues facing rural communities.”

O B I T U A R Y Jamie Shreiner 1982-2016 Jamie (Goble) Shreiner, 33, mother of four beautiful boys and wife of Derek, was lost to us all due to complications following childbirth on April 27, 2016. Daughter of Brian and Donna Goble, Jamie was born in Lancaster, California and lived in the small town of Littlerock, California until 1990 when she and her family moved to Payson, Arizona. There, Jamie was active in church, school, FFA, gymkhana and other livestock activities including a one-year reign as Payson Teen Rodeo Queen. After graduating from Payson High School, Jamie honed her public speaking skills during time on the FFA State Board while attending the University of Arizona. Following in her Mom’s footsteps, Jamie became an elementary school teacher and enjoyed one year in that position before shifting to the full time position she shined in as Mom. During their 13 years together, she, Derek and their growing family lived in Prescott Valley, Lake Havasu, Payson and Chino Valley. Wherever she’d been, she left behind a group of new friends and lives touched. The impact she had on people is beyond description. The greatest joys in her

life were her husband and their boys. She leaves behind husband Derek, sons Nathan (10), Brycen (7), Jaxon (2) and newborn Gavin, parents Brian and Donna Goble, mother-in-law Kathy Strasser, father-in-law Doug Shreiner, grandmother Lois Fielden, grandparents Bill and Jane Goble, grandfather Larry (Madeline) Campbell, brother Jake (Whitney) Goble, sister Patty (Justin) Hancock, brother- and sister-in-law Matt and Jill Lambert, nieces Karlynn and Keira, nephews Micah, Caden, Wyatt, Ryder and Braeden and many others who were near and dear to Jamie. It is hard to understand the sudden and unexpected loss of one so precious to so many, but we know that God uses all things for good. As we continue to hear of the impact Jamie had on so many lives, we’re confident that we will see this come about. A Celebration of Life is scheduled for 3:00, Friday May 6, 2016 at The Heights Church at 2121 Larry Caldwell Dr, Prescott Valley, AZ. Donations can be made for the Shreiner family at National Bank of Arizona or at the (Sudden Death of Loving Mother of 4) Go-Fund-Me account. We love and miss you Jamie.

Vintage Roost would smell sweet by any other name by

roundup staff reporter
The Swiss Village shopping center is filled with unique-smelling shops — from the wax for the hand-dipped candles at the Payson Candle Factory to the chocolate at the Fudge Shop. But the sweetest smell of all now wafts from the the Vintage Roost. The family owned and operated floral shop opened its doors Monday just a few suites down from the Payson Candle Factory. Besides the burst of color that greets you from the door, with flowers in every shade of red, orange, purple, green, and white to flecked, striped and streaked, the shop brims with the aroma of roses, Casa Blanca lilies and carnations. Deanna Viggiani opened the shop with her mother and
floral business for the past 30 years and always dreamed of opening her own store. She started in the business all those years ago after she saw a help wanted ad for a florist at a Valley supermarket. Hosford quickly realized she loved working with flowers and through the years, helped several people open their own shops. “This has always been my passion,” she said as she built a small bouquet. “This is what I love.” Hosford and Viggiani decided to marry their love of home décor and flowers and opened the Vintage Roost. Then for about a year, the family considered moving the shop to Payson. The area has been without a stand alone independently owned floral shop since Payson Florist closed its doors several years ago.

Hosford can build an arrangement to fit any occasion as well as gift baskets. “We guarantee freshness,” Viggiani said, noting they get their flowers overnighted from Ecuador. “And we guarantee smiles.” The Vintage Roost is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.

Game & Fish crashes fundraiser From page 1A been happy to have Game and Fish talk before the ride at the ranch. Instead, Sopeland said the officers watched everyone as they made their way up the mountain, then set up a checkpoint at the end of the ride everyone had to pass through to finish. Ironically, the breath-a-lizers were not calibrated correctly. “By the time the riders were at the last stop, they had the road cut off and they had seven Game and Fish guys,” she said. “They stopped on a corner on an incline — on this rocky hillside. Their breath-a-lizers were not working.” Sopeland said this was the year everyone was having an absolute blast. “We didn’t have one person that didn’t come back and say thank you,” she said. But many came back with another question. “If they (Game and Fish) were really worried about safety, everyone asked, why didn’t you stop me when we started this?” Sopeland said people asked her as they finished.

Longhorns fight back to keep season alive by

At right, Jazmyne Lee and assistant coach Kadi Tenney are all smiles after the sophomore’s inside-the-park home run tied the game in the bottom of the seventh.
A team that’s come agonizingly close to a state championship each of the last two years appeared headed for an early exit to this year’s tournament with a stunning upset loss. Yuma Kofa, the No. 28 seeded team in the 32-team Division 3 state tournament, led No. 5 Payson 5-4 entering the bottom of the seventh and final inning in the opening round of the playoffs at Payson on Saturday morning. The Longhorns were down to their final two outs when the No. 9 hitter in the batting order walked to the plate. And sophomore Jazmyne Lee fell behind in the count, no balls and two strikes. But she dug in and waiting for the third pitch. And saved the season. The left-handed youngster connected with an offspeed pitch, sending it down the left field line. It was just out of reach of Yuma Kofa’s left fielder, who made a diving attempt at a spectacular catch. Lee figured she had a triple. But when the speedster rounded second and eyed head coach Curtis Johnson waving her to go home, she rounded third and made a mad dash for the plate, running so fast she didn’t even have to slide. Lee thrust her right foot on top of the dish for an inside-the-park home run. Senior Becky Bauer followed with a triple to left field. She was out on a fielder’s choice when she tried to score on a ball senior
Jewel Johnson hit back to the pitcher. But sophomore Aubrielle Paulson doubled to center field to send Johnson home with the game-ending run as Payson rallied for a thrilling 6-5 victory. The Longhorns rallied three times to beat Kofa. “That’ s just a reflection of the girls and their mental toughness,” said coach Johnson. “They weren’t going to give up and let the other team win the game. They just kept fighting and coming back. You have to give the girls credit for that, because they’re the ones that made it happen.” The bottom three hitters in the order went a combined 5-for-9 and scored five of Payson’s six runs. Lee went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBIs and two runs from the No. 9 spot. No. 7 hitter Jodi Taylor, a sophomore, was 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles and two runs. But the top of the order
PHS plays Thursday Payson advances to the second round of the Division 3 state softball tournament to play No. 12 Mohave at 3:30 p.m. Thursday at Rose Mofford Softball Complex in Phoenix.

Horns battle to bitter end against No. 1 Alhambra by
Keith Morris
roundup sports editor
SURPRISE — They played with the heart of a champion. But they won’t wear the crown of one. After rallying late to beat the Rio Rico Hawks in the opening round of the Division 3 state tournament on Friday afternoon at Surprise Baseball Complex, Payson’s baseball players returned there on Saturday with bigger prey in their sights against the top-seeded Alhambra Lions. And the No. 17 Longhorns nearly beat the mighty Lions. Payson carried a 4-3 lead into the bottom of the sixth before Alhambra scored twice to go ahead. The Longhorns put runners on the corners with no outs in the top of the seventh but couldn’t push another run across in a 5-4 loss. “This was really a heartbreaking game because we played so well and so tough, but it just wasn’t quite enough,” said Payson head coach Brian Young. “It was really a great game between two very good teams and I’m sure fun to watch if you weren’t sitting in a dugout sweating it out.” Jake Beeler weathered the storm after allowing three runs in the first inning and held the Lions scoreless for the next four innings to give the Longhorns a chance. “Jake Beeler pitched well,” Young said. “I really like how he competed on the big stage against the No. 1 team in the state. He had a few walks but he stayed composed and gave us a chance to win the ballgame.” The skipper said he was proud of what he saw from his players in a game pitting them against a team that dropped down to Division 3 after playing in Division 1 (the largest schools) a year ago. “I was so impressed with our kids in this game,” Young said. “They just battled and played so tough. You talk about leaving it all on the field — they truly did. There was no shame in walking away from that game where you take the No. 1 team all the way down to the wire. You see that kind of effort and it just makes you sick that we didn’t get the win for the team.” Adding to the pain was the fact that the players missed Prom. They were going to try to make it after the game, which was scheduled for 5 p.m. However, a two-hour rain delay ended that hope. Young is frustrated his team found itself pitted against a school that played in Division I (the largest schools) before the Arizona Interscholastic Association moved
Alhambra down two divisions prior to this school year. “It is hard not to sit back and kind of shake your head at the AIA when we are playing a school in the playoffs with an enrollment that is four times what ours is, but in the game of baseball it really doesn’t matter,” he said. “We were close enough to go out and beat a huge school.” The Longhorns made senior Aldo Fernandez work all game long. They collected eight hits off of the Lions’ ace. The Lions managed just six against Beeler. “We were kind of told that we needed to work their pitcher pretty hard and we did,” Young said. “We had him throwing over 150 pitches in the seven innings. He hit seven of our guys. But in the end he just didn’t wear down enough for us to really break through against him.” Ryan Ricke reached base four times, going 3-for-3 and getting hit by a pitch. Carl Adcock was 2-for-4 with a double. Hunter Paul was 1-for-2 and was hit by a pitch twice. No. 18 Phoenix Northwest Christian upset No. 2 Nogales in the second round. But this would have been bigger. “I think our team played our very best baseball during the state tournament, and you can’t ask for any more than that from your guys,” said head coach Brian Young. “They hit the ball very well and did it on the big stage.” In the top of the first, Koy Duran walked, moved up on a balk call and scored on a Carl Adcock single. But Alhambra responded by scoring three times in the bottom of the inning on two hits, an error, a walk, a balk and a hit batter. David Avitia smacked a two-run homer and the third run scored on a hit batter with the bases loaded. Adcock doubled and scored on a Hunter Paul double in the third to make it 3-2. The Longhorns tied it 3-3 with a run in the fifth as Paul was hit by a pitch, moved to second on an Ryan Ricke single and Nate McMullen drove him home with a single. PHS took the lead in the sixth when Duran was hit by a pitch and scored on an error by the left fielder, who dropped a fly ball off Taran Sarnowski’s bat. But the Lions answered right back. Javier Hernandez singled, Avitia walked and Miguel Medina drove them both home with a triple. Longhorns rally past Rio Rico 8-7
Every Longhorn in the lineup collected at least one hit as Payson pounded out 16 hits in pulling out an 8-7 thriller over No. 16 Rio
Rico in the opening round of the tournament on Friday. The Longhorns jumped on top with two runs in the top of the first. After the Hawks scored once in the bottom of the first, Ruben Estrada belted a solo home run in the second to put Payson ahead 3-1. But RR tied it with two runs in the third. Payson scored twice in the fourth to go up 5-3, only to watch the Hawks answer with a three-spot to make it 6-5. Undaunted, the Longhorns rallied for three runs in the sixth to go up 8-6. RR got one back in the bottom of the seventh but couldn’t tie it. Estrada was 3-for-5 with a double, home run, two runs and three RBIs. Sarnowski was 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI. Duran went 3-for-5 with two runs and an RBI. Shad McNeeley went 2-for-4 with two runs. Adcock doubled and walked in four plate appearances and drove in a run. Beeler singled and walked in four plate appearances. The Longhorns overcame three errors to win. Paul started and went four innings, allowing seven hits, a walk and six runs (four earned) before Estrada worked the final three frames, yielding two hits, a walk and a run for the win.

Payson strikes deal to trim costs by
Alexis Bechman
roundup staff reporter
The Payson Town Council Thursday night approved an intergovernmental agreement between the town, Star Valley and the Rim Country Educational Alliance for legal services. Should any of the entities need legal counsel they can now turn to one another
for help. That need may arise due to a conflict of interest, when an attorney goes on vacation, a vacancy, illness or a lapse in legal knowledge on a particular topic or area of law. Representation would be offered on a “limited basis” and the IGA will be in effect for five years. Just because the entities have agreed to
help each other out, they aren’t doing it for free. Employee compensation will be $65 an hour. Last month, the town approved an agreement that lets it pool resources with other cities and towns. This is its first IGA between entities. Sedona and Flagstaff recently completed a legal IGA.

Savor the magic of thread and fabric Every two years rare works of art make an appearance in the Rim Country. The Threadplayers, a group of quilters and fiber artists, have an exhibition of their work. This is the year of a new Threadplayers’ show, “My Favorite Things,” which is from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, May 7 and Sunday, May 8. The exhibition is at the Payson campus of Gila Community College, 201 N. Mud Springs Rd., north of E. Highway 260. A donation of $2 per person is requested. The 20 members of the group plan to have about 100 pieces on exhibit. A variety of subjects will be featured: “Zentangle,” “Moonscape,” whimsical animals and pieces reflecting the overall theme of the show, “My Favorite Things,” including a mobile. Expect to see 3-D pieces as well as wall hangings. Founded in 2002, the
members opted to have exhibitions every other year due to the intensity of the projects. The 2016 show is the group’s sixth exhibit. The last show, in 2014, focused on the theme “Footloose and Fancy Free” and in 2012 it was “Branching Out” and included creating buildings for a quilted miniature village they called Threadville. The first exhibit was in 2006 and revolved around the theme, “Expressions in Fiber.” This year the show coincides with Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 8. Member Marcena Brook said she thinks a visit to the show would be a wonderful Mother’s Day outing. “Payson is blessed to have an extraordinary fiber artists’ and quilters’ group ... the show is always spectacular and a treat to all who attend. The work is full of surprises and delights,” she said.

Supporting Childhelp in their work to help children in Gila County live safe, full and well-adjusted lives is part of that commitment,” explained Lynnette Brouwer, spiritual leader of Unity of Payson. Childhelp is a national organization, with a strong local presence that is focused on prevention and responding to reports of child abuse. Childhelp literature states, “It’s an epidemic; a new report of abuse is made every 10 seconds. America loses between four and seven children every day to abuse and neglect. Child abuse occurs at every socio-economic level, across all ethnic and cultural lines, within all religions and at all levels of education. It’s not just a problem of poor people. There are thousands of cases Childhelp works on statewide, but Childhelp-Gila is focused just on our county.” Barbara Thompson, MSW is the current program manager for Childhelp in Gila County. Thompson is retired at the end of April and was replaced by Shelley Soroka-Spence. Thompson reported, “It is a team effort, we work with law enforcement, the Department of Child Safety, the Gila County Attorney’s Office and mental health providers to report abuse and support for children. Intervention begins with a call to the Childhelp’s National Child Abuse Hotline, (1-800-4-a-child) or reporting the abuse to local law enforcement or the Department of Child Safety.

dled is critical — parents and professionals working with children need to know what to ask, how to listen, and when to make a report if abuse is suspected. Our team knows how to do this and we are available to provide training to anyone interested in learning more about mandated reporting.” In Gila County, ChildhelpGila Children’s Advocacy Center is available to offer mandated reporter training, prevention and educational materials at community health fairs, forensic interviews — using its mobile unit or “soft rooms” that are specially designed to provide a child-friendly, neutral environment in which to conduct the interview. Victims and families are referred to local resources for treatment.

inning to drive in Alyssa Sergent, who reached on an error. But Payson answered with three hits to score two runs of its own in the bottom of the inning. Taylor led off with one of her two doubles, went to third on a Lee single. Both runners scored on a two-out single by senior Jewel Johnson. The Kings regained the lead with two runs in the fifth when the Longhorns’ youth showed. Cel Salazar reached on a oneout walk and Garcia singled two batters later. Sam Morales then singled to right field and senior right fielder Rachel Spooner threw home trying to nail Salazar at the plate. The throw beat her, but Salazar appeared to use her hands to knock the ball out of catcher Taylor’s glove. As Taylor complained to
an RBI. Johnson, the No. 2 batter, singled and drove in two runs. And Paulson, the No. 3 hitter, drove in the run that sent the Longhorns to the second round. Paulson, the young pitcher who’s dominated opposing lineups all season, struggled with her control, walking five batters. But she kept her team in the game by allowing only five hits. She struck out 12. She fanned at least one hitter in every inning, striking out the side in both the fourth and sixth. Only three of Kofa’s runs were earned thanks to an error and a passed ball, according to the Payson scorebook. Kofa’s Chloe Garcia broke a scoreless tie by belting a two-run home run in the top of the third

North to play two sports at Oglethorpe by

After competing in volleyball and track the last four years at Payson High, Taryn North will continue in both sports at the collegiate level. The senior signed a National Letter Of Intent to play volleyball and compete on the track and field team at Oglethorpe University, a Division III school in Atlanta, Ga. She had planned to join the track and field team at Paradise Community College before learning about Oglethorpe while in Atlanta playing in a volleyball tournament with Club Payson a few weeks ago. She plans to major in biochemistry with an eye on a career as an anesthesiologist. “It’s just something I’ve always been interested in,” she said. She would have had to give up volleyball had she gone to Paradise CC. “They don’t have a volleyball team,” she said. “(Assistant track) coach Morgan (Chilson) went there and I was going to go there. But she changed her mind when she learned about Oglethorpe while competing with Club Payson in a volleyball tournament in Atlanta recently. She wanted to continue competing in both sports, as well as receive a quality education. And after touring the campus, she decided on Oglethorpe. “I had a couple of communi-
ty colleges interested in me for sports, but I always want a quality education,” she said. She expects to compete in the high jump in college. She has qualified for this weekend’s Division 3 state meet in that event, as well as in the 4x100 relay. Payson High volleyball head coach Desirae Burris said she expects North to do well at the next level. “It’s a rare opportunity to play two sports in college, but if anybody can do it, Taryn can,” Burris said. “She earned it. She’s one of the hardest working athletes I’ve coached. I’m proud of her and excited for her.” Burris said the versatile North could play several positions on the volleyball court. “She can play outside hitter, libero, right side hitter and could even set if needed,” she said. “She’s kind of a Jack of all trades.” North hopes to work her way into being a key contributor at outside hitter. “I just like the front row,” she said. “I like hitting and blocking.” Although she said she’d miss living at home and her little sister, Kamryn, a sophomore, she immediately felt at home on the Oglethorpe campus. “I’m a super big Harry Potter fan and the school is known to look like Hogwarts,” she said with a smile. “It’s just a cool thing. I’m looking forward to playing there.”
the umpire, Garcia raced home with another run to give Kofa a 4-2 lead. But the home team immediately responded again. And Taylor played a big part of that. The 10th-grader led off with a double, followed by a single by junior Becca Carr. Taylor scored on a Lee groundout and Bauer singled home Carr to tie the score. Kofa’s Nylze Salazar led off the top of the seventh by drawing a walk. Sergent singled two batters later and Salazar scored on a passed ball, according to the Payson scorebook. The Payson skipper said his team’s youth and varsity inexperience contributed to some of Kofa’s offensive success, but also ultimately to the Longhorns’ win. “We’re a very young team and a lot of what we saw today was because we’re a young team,”
Johnson said. “But those young players are also the ones that stepped up and made some things happen. It’s exciting for the rest of the playoffs and the future, too.” The Longhorns didn’t waver under pressure in part because they’ve been through tight games all season.

exciting about it. I’d prefer it not to be so exciting every time, but that was pretty good.”
