Arizona Game and Fish game wardens who stopped and cited many people after the Lorraine Cline Breast Cancer Awareness Memorial Run said they dispatched seven Game and Fish officers and one Forest Service officer after receiving a complaint.

Public Information Officer Nathan Gonzales said the citizen had concerns about safety due to the accident during the prior year’s charity Poker Run, which each year raises around $50,000 to help community members struggling with medical problems.

The retirement system for Arizona firefighters and police officers faces a $40 billion problem.

The combination of a generous, automatic inflation adjustment and plunging rates of returns has created a fiscal crisis — with cities like Payson forced to pay 40 to 50 percent of each police officer’s salary into the retirement system. Even so, the system remains badly underfunded and cities and counties have started to cut public safety positions.

And that brings us to Proposition 124, according to a presentation to the Payson Tea Party recently by Bryan Jeffries, representing the professional firefighters association. Voters will decide on May 17 whether to amend the Constitution to essentially reduce the cost-ofliving increase in pensions from an automatic 4 percent, to a maximum of 2 percent to prevent the pension fund from running out of money.

The Great Recession turned a festering problem into a crisis, when the rate of return in the investments made by the public safety workers retirement fund plunged.

However, the real roots of the problem lay in the adoption of a generous 4 percent cost of living adjustment on a retirement system that allows police officers and firefighters to start collecting benefits after 20 years of service — even if they’re only 40 years old.

“It’s an absolute crisis,” said Jeffries in a PowerPoint presentation played at a recent meeting at Tiny’s restaurant.

Jeffries said the downturn in the market during the recession had “dramatically harmed our fund.” That could have a huge impact on the future retirement of firefighters and police officers, who generally don’t pay into the Social Security system.

The downturn compounded the effects of the automatic 4 percent increase in benefits, approved when the high rates of return at that time suggested the pension fund was “way overfunded.”

“We were trying to help our retirees keep up with the cost of living — these folks were not able to pay their bills. Unfortunately, they did so when the fund had a lot of money in it — they never anticipated what the side effects would be,” said Jeffries.

As a result, the payments by both the employees and the towns, counties and state provided only about half of the money needed to pay the promised benefits.

“Unfortunately, when we became underfunded, we continued to pay raises to retirees. No one ever anticipated what would happen when we became underfunded — this is absolutely unsustainable.”

A young team everyone once counted out stands on the doorstep of history.

They’ll knock on that door tonight.

Or maybe they’ll just kick the dang thing down.

The oddsmakers had pretty much counted the Longhorns out before Saturday — when the young team without the sense to count the odds faced the top-ranked team in the state.

But then they shocked everyone, with a 1-0 triumph over No. 1 Yuma Cibola.

Now these Longhorns have gone as far as any team in program history.

For four seasons, the Longhorns’ high hopes early in the season ended with a bone-wrenching loss in the finals. But this year, the situation reversed itself — with low expectations early See Longshot Longhorns, page 5A

Officers, members and supporters of the Rim Country Mountain Biking Association met for a second time to firm up plans before officers present any ideas to the Northern Gila County Economic Development Committee at a brainstorming session next week.

The consensus?

Start small, finish big and keep the momentum building.

Mike Brandt of the Pine/Strawberry Fuel Reduction Committee approved that approach. “Do a project that is small and it can be successful,” he said to the group.

It was a feel-good afternoon that could make even an Archie Bunker curmudgeon crack a smile.

There was scrumptious food, lively auctions, plenty of old-fashioned, small-town camaraderie and heaps of good vibes to help a 5-year-old boy and his family in their time of need.

It all unfolded around noon Saturday at Pine-Strawberry School where throngs of residents gathered to raise money to help defray the medical expenses of kindergartner Ayden Taylor, who is fighting Acute Max Foster/Roundup Lymphoblastic Leukemia at Phoenix Much to the surprise of diners, acclaimed campChildren’s Hospital.

Laughingly, he assured everyone the spade was sterile, only used for cooking and needed because of the huge amount of beans he needed to prepare.

Folks in the Rim Country know well Hunt’s glowing campfire cooking reputation and eagerly look forward to his outdoor feasts, often served at benefits.

In just one hour, 140 lunches had been served and a line of others awaited platefuls.

After eating, patrons leisurely filed past the myriad of silent auction items, many handmade, carefully choosing those they hoped to take home.

As auctioneer Larry Hartman and Paine walked to the front to begin the live auction, many patrons had settled on the items they were about to bid on. Abney

had touted the donations as “a very nice collection.”

Before Hartman began, however, Paine asked the crowd to give Abney a spirited round of applause for her Herculean efforts in planning the fundraiser. Abney quietly, almost shyly, acknowledged the accolades.

As the auction continued, children — some of them wearing shirts inscribed “Ayden is my hero” — scrambled outdoors to school playgrounds where for the remainder of the afternoon they rambunctiously ran, jumped, jigged and bounced in ways only young children can do.

As the afternoon wore down, Abney called the benefit a huge success and promised proceeds would soon be finalized. When tabulated, all money will go to the Taylor family to help in Ayden’s determined fight against leukemia.

trails that double as Forest Service firebreaks around the two hamlets.

Before PSFR started focusing on building trails to support fuel reduction efforts, Pine and Strawberry faced the most danger of any community in the nation for total destruction from a huge forest fire.

By building the Bearfoot Trail and upgrading the Pine Trail, along with raising funds for brush removal, the organization has made the two communities much safer —and saved homeowners money on their fire insurance.

Brandt also urged RCMBA to form partnerships with hiking groups, the Forest Service volunteers, the PSFR, Volunteers of Outdoor Arizona, the Arizona Trail Organization, the Town of Payson and any other groups.

“Building coalitions and partnerships is critical,” said Brandt.

Already, two council members from the Town of Payson have showed up to RCMBA meetings.

Councilor Chris Higgins came to the first meeting and Councilor Rick Croy attended this second meeting.

With Croy present, the group brainstormed ideas.

Top picks for easy projects — making a beginner trail and a pump track in Rumsey

Park.

A pump track features a series of simple low to the ground bumps that allow riders to play on different terrain. Rumsey has a bit of unused land the organization believes it can turn into a series of fun loops for beginners.

The group also wants to rehabilitate a trail around Willow Springs Lake on top of the Rim. Already, Mick Wolf of Certified Bicycle has sought help from the Sitgreaves Ranger District. “As per our mountain bike association meeting last night, I called the Black Mesa Ranger District in Heber today. I wasn’t able to talk to the recreation manager (though they should be calling me back), but the lady who took my call seemed receptive about the RCMBA doing some trail work on the Rim around Willow Springs Lake. She said no work has been done up there (and it is much needed),” he wrote in a Facebook post.

Michael Bonnett, president of RCMBA, said anyone interested may find out more information about the organization’s projects on the Facebook page.

RCMBA has also hit the ground on fundraising.

Through selling memberships in the local and national International Mountain Biking Association, RCMBA has already raised the $1,000 for start up costs.

Bonnett said the organization still needs more money and members. He said until RCMBA becomes official in July, all money from any memberships sold will stay in Rim Country.

“RCMBA wants to thank everyone who has signed up, without your support this would not be possible. Anyone who has not signed up can still do so at Certified Bicycle and 87 Cyclery,” said Bonnett.

The group also has a special deal with Compass Bank, said Bonnett.

If people have an account with the bank, they can get a debit card with the RCMBA logo on it. “Any transactions they do with their debit card run as ‘credit’ and we get a small percentage — all completely free to the customer,” said Bonnett.

If new customers sign up with an account at Compass and mention they support RCMBA, not only will they get a debit card that supports RCMBA, the bank will also donate $50 to the organization — at no cost to the customer.

Wolf, the treasurer of RCMBA, had only praise for the bank.

And the logo Compass Bank will use?

Bonnett said local design company Divinity Creative put it together for the group.

“Divinity Creative donated their time to make that for us,” said Bonnett.

(Please see the Roundup story at: http://www.paysonroundup.com/news/2015/may/02/ atv-rollover-mars-charity-event/) Laci Sopeland, one of the chief organizers of the event, said that same driver returned to participate in the Poker Run again this year.

Officers issued 19 citations and contacted 322 people, so a majority of the participants were completely legal.

“There were still 94 percent of participants that were doing the right thing,” said Gonzales.

Gonzales said the Lorraine Cline Poker Run is one of the largest events of its kind he has heard of.

“I have personally gone to other rallies in Springerville and I went to one in Happy Jack,” he said. “I would think that is one of the larger ones.”

He said G&F officers were not out on the course to ruin the event.

“We were not out there to dampen this admirable event,” he said. “We were there to keep it safe for the riders and the public ... this was a planned patrol ... this was never a checkpoint.”

Gonzales said G&F had even been approached by the radio station KJZZ to cover the event, but at the last minute the interview fell through.

When asked why the officers did not talk to riders about safety issues before they went on the long and technically difficult

ride, Gonzales said riders should not claim ignorance of the law.

“What people have to realize, it is not necessarily the officer’s duty to inform them of the law,” he said. “What the overall message for all riders is — ignorance of the law is no excuse. You’re putting not only riders, but the public in general, in danger if you do not follow the law.”

Sopeland wished G&F had handled it differently.

“We would encourage Game and Fish to contact us so we could work together to ensure that all of our riders are safe next time,” she said. “It’s unfortunate that they didn’t consider that from the beginning.”

Gonzales said officers issued four types of citations, including DUI, lack of helmets for children under the age of 18, open containers of alcohol and not having current OHV registration.

Gonzales said it is never acceptable to drink and drive an ATV on the trails.

Officers cited three people for DUIs. Two were for aggravated DUI. “One was arrested under extreme DUI .18 BAC,” said Gonzales. “That should put the chill under any rider’s spine.”

The other had .134 blood alcohol content. The legal limit for blood alcohol content is .08.

Some of the participants complained that the Breathalyzers were not calibrated correctly.

Gonzales said officers told him they were functioning properly.

G&F officers issued four citations and two warnings for OHV decals.

Gonzales explained that every off road vehicle weighing less than 1,800 pounds must have an OHV registration sticker, obtained through the Department of Motor Vehicles.

G&F gets involved every year when it sends out the renewal notices for these OHV stickers.

Gonzales said G&F officers wrote 12 citations and three warnings for a lack of helmets for riders under the age of 18. “If you’re riding ... an OHV, UTVs and dirt bikes ... under 18 must wear a helmet,” said Gonzales.

The officers wrote three tickets for open containers.

Gonzales said G&F is not all about enforcement; they do have a safety education coordinator.

“We also have an education component” he said. “On some of these other rides, we have had our safety coordination officer hand out information on how to have a safe ride. We want to prevent the next tragedy.”

Sopeland said she’s had a lot of supportive calls and every one of them looks forward to supporting cancer patients in Gila County.

“I’ve had a lot of positive phone calls from people that attended the ride that said they would be back next year and it didn’t ruin it for them,” she said. “I’m thankful that it’s such a strong community event and it always will be!”

• May 8, 1958: U.S. President Eisenhower ordered the National Guard out of Little Rock as Ernest Green became the first black to graduate from an Arkansas public school.

A revolt by rank and file lawmakers in the closing hours of the legislative session restored KidsCare, which will provide desperately needed healthcare to an estimated 30,000 children — many of them in Gila County.

Senate President Andy Biggs tried to bury the bill without a vote, but a bipartisan group of lawmakers out maneuvered him and revived the bill by attaching an amendment to another law.

We’re delighted.

The revolt by back-bench lawmakers on behalf of children offers hope for a change in the temper of the sometimes heartless Legislature.

The federal government will pay 100 percent of the cost of expanding eligibility for the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System for families making between 138 percent and 200 percent of a federal, poverty level wage. That works out to a maximum of about $41,000 for a family of four.

The bill reserves the right to once again cut off those families if the federal government after 2017 stops paying the full cost for the expansion. So providing healthcare to 30,000 children will have zero impact on the state budget.

Senator Biggs rightly points out that taxpayers fund the federal government too — so the expansion’s not free. He’s running for Congress, apparently on a platform that puts deficit reduction and tax cuts ahead of the health of children.

Please note, until this vote — Arizona remained the only state in the union that had persistently refused to accept the federal money to extend coverage to those working families. Study after study shows that children without healthcare suffer an array of impacts — not just on their health, but on their success in school.

Of course, even the rescue of KidsCare came with its twist of controversy. The backers attached an amendment to another bill that will extend state funding for religious schools through an increasingly expensive voucher system. The bill’s author resisted the amendment, suggesting the maneuver violates a state constitutional provision that requires bills to address one subject at a time.

If so, it will join a dispiriting series of lawsuits by state lawmakers — including those representing Rim Country — trying to block the extension of health care to poor children.

We’re still waiting on the outcome of a lawsuit filed with the support of Rep. Brenda Barton and Rep. Bob Thorpe that would roll back a much earlier extension of AHCCCS. If that lawsuit succeeds, some 300,000 people could lose their healthcare.

Now, we certainly understand the frustration with the Affordable Healthcare Act, which did provide healthcare for some 40 million Americans — but had done nothing to restrain the ruinous increase in healthcare costs. We wish that the tenacious Republican critics of the flawed Affordable Healthcare Act would offer an alternative that would provide affordable healthcare for everyone, instead of just fighting so hard to cut lose the working poor in a crazy, unsustainable system. We can no longer tolerate a system that charges Americans three or four times as much as other industrialized countries — while leaving millions uninsured.

Still, we’re grateful that so many lawmakers proved willing to defy the legislative leadership and act to protect children.

Vote YES on Prop. 124 Voters should heed the bipartisan support for Proposition 124, which would safeguard the underfunded pension system for police officers and firefighters.

The Proposition would give the state, cities and counties more flexibility in making changes to the pension system — including a 2 percent annual cap on inflation adjustments. The current 4 percent annual increase has proved an threat to the solvency of the pension system.

We don’t think the reforms go far enough. It makes little sense, for instance, to allow public safety personnel to start collecting a pension after 20 years — even if they’re decades from the 65-year-old retirement age everyone else goes by. The system allows people to keep working and end up collecting multiple pensions.

However, the reforms embodied in Proposition 124 will go a long way toward stabilizing the system. In addition, the reforms will slow or reverse the spiral in costs that now means Payson must contribute 60 percent of an officer’s salary to the system.

For all those reasons, we urge you to vote YES on Proposition 124.

Owners need to leash dogs Editor: I (am writing) about dogs-at-large, otherwise known as strays.

The Town of Payson animal code, 90.20a, is fashioned after the Arizona State Code.

Payson’s code states that a dog owner is in charge of their animal. What that means is that unless you are on your property or in the dog park, all dogs must be on a leash at all times and under your control.

This does not mean you can put a leash on the dog and let it run freely.

This is for the protection of the public and the dogs. If allowed to run loose, dogs often get in trouble, either by harassing people and other animals, damaging property or becoming injured or killed by vehicles.

We all like to think our dogs are exceptionally smart, however, most dogs think other animals are fun to chase or don’t make the connection of being hit by a car.

You have a better chance of protecting your dog from other animals and vehicles if your dog is on a leash. The best-trained dog will still run off if the right situation peaks his interest.

The at-large code also includes animals that dig under or through a fence into another property. If your dog is an escape artist or likes to dig or chew his way out of your property, you can be held responsible for any damages done by your dog.

Please care about your animals, leash them and keep them safe. Thank you.

Mark Scott, Payson Police animal control officer

Rethink your endorsement Editor: I applaud your ability to be receptive to additional information. You recently penned not one but two editorials in support of Proposition 123.

The second revealed that you were receptive to additional information on the issue. That creates a problem with the first editorial when it appeared you were certain of the merits.

I am confident you are well aware of the power of the press, even in a small community such as Payson.

I would encourage that prior to making a public endorsement you understand all the issues and then make a well-informed endorsement. I suspect that had the first endorsement not been in favor of the proposition, the second would not have been needed.

There is simply no way to justify support of the endorsement. It is a bailout on the backs of our children. A free pass for politicians who cannot understand the law. An open invitation to future lawsuits.

Endorsing that kind of proposition is shortsighted; not the kind of editorial discretion that this community needs.

Jeffrey Aal Editor’s note: We owe it to our readers to give them all the information we can gather — completely independent of whatever opinions we have. That’s the sacred trust of journalism. When it comes to editorial endorsements, you gather as much information as you can and make your best judgment. From the start, we wrestled with Proposition 123.

It’s a flawed solution to a serious problem. In life — and especially in politics — you have to settle sometimes for the best you can get, while continuing to work for a better solution. In the end, Proposition 123 looks like the best we can get in the short term — leaving the larger problem unsolved. We felt that way before the first endorsement and still do.

Why she supports Prop. 123 Editor: While Prop. 123 may not be the ideal option, it may very well be the only option the schools have to get the money owed to them.

The Legislature has continued to fight funding education, even after the school districts sued the state.

This is obviously not a long-term solution, and the money will be paid out over 10 years.

In the short term, however, this proposition puts nearly a million dollars into Payson’s schools this year, and almost a half a million for the next eight years. Our schools are struggling and the only ones suffering are our children.

People are constantly talking about Arizona’s failing schools and funding being one of the lowest in the country. Let’s put aside our political views and do what’s best for the kids right now.

The change needs to happen in an election, but don’t punish children for political reasons!

This is a chance for schools to recoup some of the money owed to them, whether it’s the best option or not, the outcome will benefit education, and I can’t understand why people would be against that!

Live together ... or perish as fools Editor: I recently watched a screening of our president holding a town hall meeting at the University of Illinois Law School wherein he said that the highest office of our land was to be a citizen.

He said all people in this country need to be aware of not only everyone else who has opinions and beliefs, but we need to look within ourselves to determine who we really are.

Who am I? How did I come to believe or not believe in religion? How do I react when I see a hungry child or an abused human or animal?

Were my parents good teachers or were they always afraid of everyone else who did not think or believe as they did?

As letters to the editor continue to disagree on almost everything, so do they continue on the Roundup blog.

As we read, listen, research and look at who we are, we need to be reminded of an Ossie Davis quote; “live together as brothers or perish together as fools.”

Arizona’s out of whack Editor: We balance our checkbooks, we have the tires on our vehicles balanced, we balance our washing machines when they go out of kilter, and we try to balance our work lives with our family lives so each receives their fair share of

attention.

Unfortunately, our Arizona politics are hopelessly out of balance. Every political office in our state including the governor, attorney general, secretary of state, superintendent of public instruction, the state Senate, the state House, and even the Corporation Commission is controlled by Republicans. Not only are we out of balance politically speaking, but Democrats and Independent voters are basically dis-enfranchised by this obvious imbalance. Budget talks are held in secret, voters’ past mandates like Prop. 301 are ignored or bargained away, and too many misdeeds by the party in complete power like expense account irregularities, residency requirements, per diem questions, etc., are glossed over because there are no checks and balances in our state government. We in the Rim Country bear some responsibility for this imbalance because all three of our state legislators are from the same political party (GOP).

Come this November, we can restore some balance in our state by voting for Democrats and Independents that are running for our state Senate. Forcing GOP members to compromise, cooperate, and coalesce may be our only hope to restore some balance in our currently out of whack state political system.

Here’s how you can help Editor: First of all I would like to thank you for the very long, detailed article in the April 29th edition entitled “The system fails, a child dies.”

I am sure there are many people in Payson who, like me, thought they were moving to an idyllic mountain town, close to wonderful fishing lakes, beautiful scenery and away from the problems of the city. However, Payson has a deep, dark, ugly secret. Much like the rest of the world, Payson includes a plethora of illegal drugs, domestic violence, etc., which is passed on from generation to generation.

So, I am sure there are many readers who, after reading this horrendous account of a child’s life and death, wonder how they can help.

There are many ways and I would like to suggest one of them: volunteer as a Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA). CASAs are assigned by the court to look into every aspect of the life of a child who has been removed from his or her parent and comes into DCS (CPS) custody.

Shockingly there are many children of all ages in Gila County who find themselves in this position.

For the most part, DCS caseworkers work very hard to help parents get the help they need to turn their life around so they can get their children back. CASAs, on the other hand, usually become very involved in the child’s life.

They meet with everyone possible who plays a part in the life of the child — teachers, parents, foster parents, etc. and especially the child itself.

We attend meetings and receive all pertinent disclosures. Then we write a court report, which explains to the court what the CASA believes is in the best interest of the child(ren) and gives reasons for that belief. In short, we are, in the child’s community, the eyes and ears for the court.

CASAs are desperately needed. For information on becoming a CASA, please call the CASA office at 928-474-7146. Don’t forget, you can help!

Payson considers monument for flood victims Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

Breaking from its usual Thursday night meeting schedule, the Payson Town Council will meet Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. to accommodate scheduling conflicts.

On the docket are plans to work with Gila County for election services; giving the town attorney a raise and a new monument in Green Valley Park.

The council will discuss giving the

Northern Gila County Historical Society property at Green Valley Park to install a monument honoring the victims of the 1970 Labor Day flood.

The flood, described by some as, “the greatest natural disaster in the history of the state,” killed at least 23 people. Near Kohl’s Ranch, 12 campers were killed when they tried to flee a wall of water in Tonto Creek.

On that day, 11.4 inches of rain fell in 24 hours, more than on any other day in

Arizona’s recorded weather history.

The council will also discuss giving Town Attorney Hector Figueroa a pay increase.

After joining the town to replace former Town Attorney Tim Wright, Figueroa was removed from probation March 17.

The council appointed Vice Mayor Michael Hughes, Councilor Fred Carpenter and Town Manager LaRon Garrett to a committee to consider a pay increase. They are recommending a $6,100 annual increase.

Longshot Longhorns play for championship From page 1A in the season yielding to another shot at winning it all.

For an account of the Longhorns’ thrilling playoff wins, see today’s sports page on 1B. To watch a video of the winning games, go to our website at payson.com.

The Longhorns this season lost six starters from the team that last year played in the state championship game for a second consecutive season. The combination of graduations and injury left the young Longhorn team trying to figure things out.

But with six sophomores and just three returning starters in the lineup, the Longhorns stumbled out of the gate and lost three of their first four games. At that point, lots of people quit paying attention — and lots of opponents wrote them off.

Big mistake.

Two playoff wins this weekend proved that this team has figured things out.

The offense has improved dramatically since the start of the season as the Longhorns have learned to put bat to ball and force the opposing defense to make plays.

The team has also played sound defense for the most part, growing visibly from game to game.

And, they’ve pitched well.

Aside from games in a pair of tournaments that didn’t count in the all-important power rankings for the postseason rankings, the Longhorns closed the regular season by winning their final 14 games.

The streak now stands at 18 after the semifinal shocker. The Raiders entered the game 33-1 overall and 21-0 in power

Back in 2011, the Legislature approved a package of reforms intended to stabilize the public employee retirement fund. However, an affected Superior Court judge sued to protect his pension — and the state Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution prevents lawmakers, towns or counties from reducing promised pension benefits. The ruling forced cities and towns to actually increase payments further, making up another $375 million in back payments.

“That’s when we knew the system was on its way to being in a significant problem” said Jeffries.

The rising pension costs meant that towns had to put 50 percent of a police officer’s salary into the pension fund, not counting the cost of health care and other benefits.

“Rising employee contribution rates means more money to pensions, which crowds out your public safety services. Can’t

Cibola’s lost only to Scottsdale Arcadia, which is still alive in the Division 2 state tournament.

One of Cibola’s wins in the Gracie included a 6-0 slaughter of the Longhorns. Payson went 2-2-2 in the tournament, splitting pitching duties between sophomores Aubrielle Paulson and Kalea Smith. The Raiders didn’t face Paulson in that first meeting.

Proposition 124 would rescue police pensions From page 1A

provide training, can’t hire — that meant some local municipalities might start some new tax and debt proposals. Prescott went out for a public safety bond, but the public said absolutely not. So that can lead to insolvency, municipal bankruptcy.”

The police and firefighter unions spent months trying to hash out a solution with lawmakers, realizing it would have to involve a constitutional amendment.

The Legislature ultimately put Proposition 124 on the ballot, with a bipartisan vote that so far hasn’t even drawn sufficient opposition to put a vote-no argument in the voter pamphlet.

Capping the inflation adjustment at 2 percent will dramatically reduce the risk of insolvency in coming decades. The measure will also essentially create a two-tier system, with little change for current workers but less generous benefits for people hired after 2017.

Payson Councilor Michael Hughes was in

the audience for the presentation. He noted that Payson currently pays 60 percent of each officer’s salary into the pension fund and 25 percent of each firefighter’s salary.

He noted that the system also requires the town to pay 100 percent of any increased cost for health care or other benefits, resulting in a steadily rising cost to the town.

“It’s one of our biggest burdens. That doesn’t count the medical, Social Security — all the other overburdened benefits.”

Worse yet, towns now have to show the unfunded liability in the public safety pensions as a debt on their books, affecting their ability to get loans for other things — like the C.C. Cragin pipeline.

Hughes said passage of Proposition 124 may not reduce the town’s costs in the short term. “My best guess is that it will flat line the increase and leave things where they are now. Currently, there are only two or three workers per retiree — and they just can’t keep up those benefits.”

chotherapy; electro-convulsive therapy (electro shock).

Bellisfield said drugs help function when there is a moderate to severe diagnosis, but they don’t change the situation.

“Talk/psychotherapy shows the same success rate as medication in mild to moderated depression,” she said (citing a WebMD report). The same report stated in depression, even the best antidepressants work only about half the time and odds of their success drop if the patient doesn’t respond to the first drug tried.

Citing another study, Bellisfield said it has been found that electro-shock treatment is 80 percent effective for psychotic, or life-threatening symptoms, but it does not prevent relapse.

As with the medication used to treat anxiety; the drugs used for depression also have many side effects, including: sleep changes; gastro-intestinal upset and/or bleeding; anxiety; decreased sexual sensations; teen suicide; dry mouth; constipation; urinary retention; breast cancer; hypertension; seizures; sedation; weight gain; blurred vision; light-headedness; tremor; heart palpitations; eye problems; low sodium; impaired fertility; decreased bone density; birth defects.

roundup staff reporter

Dale Bellisfield, RN, HN-BC, RH (AHG), a medical herbalist, opened her practice about 10 months ago. She has offices at 700 W. Main St. in Payson.

At a free lecture April 30 she introduced herself to the community.

Bellisfield chose to talk about holistic approaches to depression and anxiety at the introductory gathering.

She gave her audience — a near full house — the basics about anxiety and depression before talking about treating the conditions.

The basics

Anxiety and depression are the top mental disorders in the U.S. Anxiety is the most common mental disorder experienced in America — 18 percent of adults suffer from it, according to the National Institutes of Health. It has various symptoms and the causes are uncertain. However, contributing factors can include: genetics (some anxiety disorders run in families); stress from a traumatic event such as abuse, death of a loved one, violence or prolonged illness.

It may have its foundations in adaptive behavior, such as a childhood mechanism still used for coping with fear.

Bellisfield said a key to treating anxiety and its varying and multiple symptoms is to rule out underlying physical issues that may manifest at anxiety. Among these: hyperthyroid; tachycardia; asthma; low blood sugar; various tumors; drug withdrawal; anemia; stimulants; consuming an excess amount of coffee.

Anxiety has been found to result in several health concerns: it decreases immune function and consequently increases illness frequency; it is associated with poor quality of health; and increased development of irritable bowel syndrome. Severe anxiety is a risk factor for suicide.

While anxiety is the most common mental disorder among U.S. adults, depression comes in second.

Bellisfield said the American Psychiatric Association reports there are many types of depression, but all have sad, empty, irritable mood, with physical and mental changes that significantly affect capacity to function.

It is estimated 16 million U.S. adults suffered a major depressive event in the past year. Major depression identifiers are five out these nine symptoms: sadness most of the day; loss of enjoyments in pleasurable things; major weight change (5 percent monthly gain or loss); insomnia or excessive sleep; noticeable agitation or withdrawal; loss of energy; feelings of hopelessness, guilt or worthlessness; difficulty concentrating or decision-making; recurring thoughts of death or suicide.

As with anxiety, the cause of depression is uncertain, as it could be the result of so many different things, however, there are health conditions with symptoms that can mimic depression.

Physical conditions to investigate include: low thyroid; low adrenals; diabetes; medication side

effects; tumors; heart disease; hepatitis; elevated blood calcium; Cushing’s; Parkinson’s disease; chronic fatigue; chronic pain.

Depression alters immunity and may contribute to the worsening of the disease itself; patients with depression are at an increased risk of all-cause mortality (depression increases the risk of death); those with depression are 64 percent more likely to develop heart disease and fare worse, with greater risk of death, following a heart attack.

Additionally, depression arising earlier in life is associated with a more than two-fold increase in dementia risk and it creates a greater risk of substance abuse.

Accepted treatments

Bellisfield outlined treatments for these disorders used within Western medicine.

Anxiety is treated with one or a combination of the following: medication; psychotherapy; lifestyle changes.

While the medications allow the patient to function, many have side effects. Among these: addiction; clumsiness; confusion; depression; digestive upset; dizziness; nausea; drowsiness; dry mouth/ eyes; emotional blunting (this is described as feeling like you have no emotions — positive or negative; you just feel “blah” about life); impaired judgment; hallucination; memory loss; and more.

Depression is treated with medication; psy-

Bellisfield is an advocate of holistic approaches to treating not only anxiety and depression, but also all health conditions and in helping her patients attain and/or maintain their individual optimum level of wellness.

“Holistic treatment is based on the individual picture and creating a personalized program, not on symptom severity,” she said.

The many types of anxiety and depression are all treated differently. When working with someone suffering from depression, she looks at the potential physical causes: blood sugar induced; cardiovascular; gastrointestinal based; hormonal; age-related; stagnant; stress induced.

Addressing underlying issues helps support overall health, Bellisfield said.

She starts by talking about how nutrition can play a key role in the onset, severity and duration of depression and anxiety.

A healthy diet is confusing for many, but generally consists of many (non-starchy) vegetables, with 30 to 50 percent eaten raw; minimal simple carbohydrates, such as sweets, breads, cereal, pasta, potatoes, corn, rice and grains; a moderate amount of fruits and these should be low in fructose; healthy fats, such as coconut, avocados, olive oil, butter, raw nuts and seeds, dark chocolate, eggs and full-fat dairy; quality protein including wild salmon, raw organic whole milk dairy, grassfed organic meat and poultry, wild game; unpasteurized fermented foods such as sauerkraut, organic full-fat yogurt, kimchee, miso, etc.; and local raw honey, no more than 1 to 2 teaspoons a day.

Bellisfield recommends avoiding or minimizing the consumption of: fast and processed foods; junk beverages (sweet or diet sodas, sports drinks, sweetened waters); natural and artificial sweeteners; poor quality oils (corn, canola, safflower, soy-

bean, sunflower, hydrogenated oils); commercial fruit juices; “poisoned” food such as high mercury and high PCB fish; unfermented and non-organic soy; and gluten grains: barley, rye, oats, wheat, spelt, triticale and couscous.

She said complex carbohydrates raise brain chemicals that produce relaxation, sense of well-being and promote sleep, so she recommends having them with dinner, but don’t eat less than three hours before bed. She includes in her list of complex carbohydrates: fruits, vegetables, sweet potatoes, gluten free whole grains, such as quinoa, buckwheat, millet and wild rice; and beans.

Bellisfield said the highest depression levels are association with the lowest omega-3 intake.

This is a type of fat concentrated in the brain and it is crucial to body function. It must be ingested.

Among the good food sources of omega-3 are wild salmon, sardines, anchovies, krill, mackerel and herring; coconut; avocados; dairy; olives/olive oil; chocolate; nuts and seeds; and purslane.

She spoke at length about foods to add to the diet to help with anxiety and depression and then discussed a variety of supplements, primarily basic vitamins and minerals. Most strongly recommended for improving the conditions is a good, complete B complex from a reliable source; this was followed by making sure you have plenty of Vitamin C, D, E, magnesium, omega-3; zinc; and SAM-e.

“SAM-e is equal to or more effective than antidepressants for mild to moderate depression and has low side effects,” she said. She added it works quickly, in about seven to 10 days, while medications can take six to eight weeks before any noticeable improvement is made.

Herbs can also help improve the conditions of anxiety and depression, but caution and guidance in their use is advisable.

Bellisfield said most herbs have been used safely for thousands of years and are multi-taskers, she recommends using the fewest herbs with the most benefits; additionally herbs — and supplements — are very safe.

Citing a report published in the Washington Post she said around 18 percent of Americans — or 45 million adults — use herbal supplements and most are self-medicating.

Asked to recommend some introductory reading material for those who want more information about the use/benefits of alternatives to drugs for depression and anxiety, Bellisfield offered the following: “Grain Brain” for food sources and other books by David Perlmutter, MD, who is a neurologist, with a long history of good clinical practice; and “Herbal Therapy and Supplements”

by Merrily Kuhn and David Winston.

She hopes to provide additional programs in the future, but is currently building her practice and working on a book about the best foods/recipes for the victims of breast cancer.

She is trained in many traditions of healing and stays up-to-date on the safe use of herbal medicines, herb-drug interactions and quality products.

She is also trained in integrative oncology, which uses a targeted approach to cancer, working with both standard and natural therapies.

One in 20 American adults live with a serious mental health condition and one in five will experience a mental health issue every year — 50 percent of all lifetime cases of mental illness begin by age 14, and 75 percent by age 24. Despite these sobering statistics it is possible for an individual who suffers to have a meaningful life.

“As a community, when we start talking about the challenges those with mental illness face, that’s when we can start finding solutions,” Patty Wisner said. She is the program coordinator for the local branch of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, NAMI for short. “NAMI provides a framework for a dialogue about mental illness.”

It is the largest grassroots nonprofit, committed to improving the lives of those who suffer from mental illness and the families that love them through education, support and advocacy.

“Where stigma ends, recovery begins,”

Wisner said. When a family member was in crisis a few years ago, Wisner drove to NAMI’s Family to Family training in the Valley once a week for three months.

“The moment I stepped into the class, I knew I was in the right place,” she said.

“You can read about mental illness, but it’s the community of shared experience that made the class life changing.”

Her experience led her to become a trainer so she could bring the class to Payson. She and co-trainer, Linda Mathiesen, brought the class to Payson in 2014 and ’15.

On the national level a group of parents started it in 1979. NAMI National and NAMI Arizona work toward getting legislation passed, but at the local level it is all about the programs.

“Thanks to a generous donation from MHA Foundation and a class full of advocates from our second Family to Family class, we were able to bring up trainers to train our facilitators,” Wisner said.

serve those who suffer from mental illness: NAMI Connection, Peer to Peer and In Our Own Voice.

“We’d like to get in front of a big development in our community, the coming of a university,” Wisner said.

The stressors on individuals of leaving home and attending college for the first time can lead to a first psychotic break in people with a predisposition for mental illness according to NAMI First Episode of Psychosis Fact Sheet.

You do not have to be a member to attend programs, but Wisner strongly recommends joining NAMI Payson because you’ll be an active part in bringing more free quality programs to the Rim Country, a subscription to the Advocate, NAMI’s national magazine about mental illness, and much more.

Individual memberships are $35; open door is $3, and organizational memberships are $200.

Dandelions – weed or tonic?

The Healthy

FOODIE

by Michele Nelson

This is frustrating.

The fluffy white heads of the dandelions in my yard have already disappeared leaving only the stubby remains of the flowers on a bed of fully-grown, serrated weedy leaves.

I chide myself for waiting so long to get at them with my hulahoe, just as I chide myself for letting those menopausal pounds creep up on me.

What really ticks me off? I just learned that the original European settlers brought them over because of their incredible nutritional value.

My neighbor told me her Italian relatives used to have her run around and pick off all the flowers to make dandelion wine.

Really? Nutritional?

Wine?!

I still call them pesky, but the wine does intrigue me.

Because these inconspicuous weeds pop up before anything else edible in the garden, dandelions saved the Europeans from the winter blahs full of scurvy, anemia, rickets and parasites.

I’d have waited for the flowers to make the wine.

Winter was super tough in the old days, given the lack of refrigeration and canning. The dinner menu got pretty sparse.

Europeans survived winter on salted meats, moldy grains and root vegetables — not the best diet. Those old-timers had to make due with food lacking in vitamin C and other critical nutrients.

Dandelions came to their res-

Dandelions are a weed in today’s world, but many of our ancestors, from different cultures know this “weed” had a lot of great nutritional value. cue.

As soon the new dandelion leaves peeked through the ground, Europeans would snatch them up, roots and all, to douse them in boiling water and make a tea tonic. Alternatively, they would just chop the leaves into a salad.

Why? Because dandelion roots and leaves contain vitamins A, B, C and D and the minerals iron, potassium and zinc — all things their winter foods lacked.

The University of Maryland Medical Center reports many traditional herbalists used the roots and leaves to treat liver problems.

Native Americans used a tea tonic to treat kidney disease, swelling, skin problems, heartburn and upset stomach.

Chinese herbalists used the weed to also treat stomach problems along with appendicitis. They also gave the herb to mothers who had problems with lactation or inflammation of the breast.

European herbalists used dandelions for fever, boils, eye problems, diabetes and diarrhea.

Who knew?

Still, it’s hard for me to believe it’s such a good thing as I struggle to uproot these weeds with their menacing serrated edges.

Still, I have to admit — that

wine thing does intrigue.

The Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center reports that extracts of dandelion have shown antimicrobial and bacterial properties in test tubes.

The Center also said the plant seems to have anti-tumor effects as well — increasing tumor dieoff effects especially in colon cancer.

Academic research warns the dandelion’s high potassium content could pose a threat to those taking diuretics or lithium.

Those who suffer from hypogly-

cemia need to worry about the herb’s own hypoglycemic properties.

So, now that I’ve learned some of the benefits of these pesky weeds, maybe next year I’ll harvest at least the flowers to make wine.

I like wine.

Makes it easier to enjoy something healthy if it’s in wine form.

Don’t you think?

Dandelion Wine - #1 from Jack Keller’s Winemaking

http://winemaking.jackkeller. net/dandelio.asp 3 quarts dandelion flowers 1 pound golden raisins 1 gallon water 3 pounds granulated sugar 2 lemons 1 orange yeast and nutrient Pick the flowers just before starting, so they’re fresh. You do not need to pick the petals off the flower heads, but the heads should be trimmed of any stalk. Put the flowers in a large bowl. Set aside 1 pint of water and bring the remainder to a boil. Pour the boiling water over the dandelion flowers and cover tightly with cloth or plastic wrap.

Leave for two days, stirring twice daily. Do not exceed this time. Pour flowers and water in large pot and bring to a low boil. Add the sugar and the peels (peel thinly and avoid any of the white pith) of the lemons and orange. Boil for one hour and then pour into a crock or plastic pail. Add the juice and pulp of the lemons and orange. Allow to stand until cool (70-75 degrees).

Add yeast and yeast nutrient, cover, and put in a warm place for three days. Strain and pour into a secondary fermentation vessel (bottle or jug). Add the raisins and fit a fermentation trap to the vessel. Strain and rack after wine clears, adding reserved pint of water and any additional required to top up.

Leave until fermentation ceases completely, then rack again. Set aside two months and rack and bottle. This wine must age six months in the bottle before tasting, but will improve remarkably if allowed a year.

Rural Arizonans with MS lack access to care by

Blake Benard

cronkite news service

Every three months, Mary Schaal makes the nearly 400-mile round trip from her home in Yuma to Gilbert on the southeastern edge of Phoenix.

Schaal, diagnosed with multiple sclerosis four years ago, counts herself lucky.

“I’m really blessed. I can go to an MS specialist,” Mary said.

Thousands of people living with multiple sclerosis in rural Arizona lack easy access to health care, according to advocates. Those with the degenerative motor-neuron disease in communities like Payson, Yuma and Flagstaff must travel hundreds of miles to the Phoenix metro area to seek treatment from specialists to help fight the disease.

The national MS Society estimates about 3,500 people with the disease live in rural areas.

“Multiple sclerosis can affect seeing. It can affect swallowing, walking, talking, cognition, feeling, like the numbness that I mentioned, balance.

All kinds of things,” Schaal said.

Schaal was diagnosed just before her 40th birthday. She couldn’t walk. She couldn’t feel her arms.

After dozens of trips to Gilbert to her MS specialist, she learned to walk again.

Many members of Schaal’s support group aren’t as fortunate. Her husband drives her to Gilbert for her medical appointments.

“It’s an access issue and I think we see that in all types of communities, not just the MS communities. Access to care is higher quality and more readily available in urban communities like Phoenix,” said Erika Edholm, a director with the Arizona chapter of the National MS Society.

If patients can’t make a trip to the Phoenix area, they have to rely upon local neurologists.

Patients may have to wait several months.

But solutions are on the horizon. The Arizona Legislature is taking up the cause of those struggling with MS in rural areas.

“We’re doing everything we can to raise the profile of the disease and educate the public on what exactly it is. That’s the first step: raising awareness,” said Rep. Kate Brophy McGee, A Republican representing District 11 near Marana and Oro Valley outside Tucson.

Brophy McGee said using technology to connect patients and doctors is one way to cut down on transportation costs and time.

“Telemedicine. That means with technology we can actually put the patient who is many many miles away in front of a doctor who is the expert or the treatment experts via television,” Brophy McGee said.

Schaal suggests MS specialists could travel to rural areas for a couple days every month so they could see several patients. Even sending a nurse practitioner with expertise in MS could be a huge help to people living in cities like Yuma, Flagstaff or Payson.

You can keep Mister Ed in your backyard and your side yard, but under current town code, you can’t keep him out front of your abode.

On May 2, the Planning and Zoning Commission debated whether to change the code and let residents keep livestock in front yards.

Currently, you can keep horses on your property if you have at least an acre of land, so long as they’re kept at least 75 feet from other homes and don’t create a nuisance.

But you cannot move that horse to the front yard under the Unified Development Code. If you have a home set toward the back of your lot, this can create a hassle.

“There are currently many areas where lots were developed prior to the Unified Development Code (1996) and homes were built away from the street creating large front yards and smaller rear yards. At the time these homes were built, the keeping of livestock was not restricted from the front

yard. We are currently left with numerous legal-non-conforming situations. Also new homes or homeowners in the same areas as these legal-non-conforming properties are not afforded the same privilege of livestock within the front yard, thus limiting the available horse property within the town.

Many of the lots that could be utilized for horses are rendered impractical,” wrote Doni Wilbanks, planning specialist, in a memo to the commission.

After some discussion, the commission majority agreed that amending the code to allow livestock in front yards, while leaving the 75-foot setback in place.

Only commission member John Swenson voted against the recommendation.

Sheila DeSchaaf, with town development, said homeowners can keep up to two horses on an acre and an additional horse for every extra half-acre of land. She noted deed restrictions and the rules of homeowner’s associations would still take priority over the code.

The town council now must act on that recommendation.

If voters approve Proposition 123, local property taxes will likely increase by about $48,000, due to the complexities of how the state calculates aid to schools, Payson Unified School District Superintendent Greg Wyman told the Payson Tea Party in a recent appearance.

Wyman and District Finance Director Kathy Manning made the appearance in response to an early talk opposing Proposition 123 by deputy state treasurer Mark Swenson. He opposed increasing the distributions from the state land trust from 2.5 percent to 6.9 percent, saying the state has enough money to provide the extra $350 million for schools needed to settle the lawsuit. The increased distribution from the state land trust already reserved for schools would cost education money in the long run, he said.

The Payson School Board has already decided to spend the Proposition 123 money this year on a 4 percent pay raise for the district’s roughly 300 employees.

About 65 percent of the pay raise will go to teachers, who comprise just under half of the employees, but have higher average pay than other workers. District workers haven’t had a permanent pay increase in seven years.

Wyman said the rate for Payson’s voter-approved, 10 percent budget override would increase slightly if voters later this month approve Proposition 123, which could increase base funding by about $211 per student in Payson. Proposition 123 would boost Payson’s $12.4 million budget by about $480,000 annually.

The override would increase by $48,000 – about 10 percent of the Prop. 123 boost.

Statewide, property tax rates would increase by about $20 million in districts where voters have approved overrides.

Schools superintendent fields questions by Payson Tea Party However, Wyman said Swenson was mistaken when he insisted that Payson’s property taxes would rise some additional amount because of the state’s complicated system intended to avoid an unconstitutional difference in per-student spending statewide.

Swenson said Proposition 123’s increase in the base rate for state aid would increase property taxes by $30 million statewide in districts with high property tax values. He said Payson was one of the districts that has high enough property values that it doesn’t get extra budget help through the state’s equalization formulas, which transfer property taxes generated in high-wealth districts to property-tax-poor districts.

However, Wyman said that Payson gets $3 million annually in budget help from the property taxes paid in wealthy districts, like Scottsdale and Cave Creek.

Wyman said, “our purpose with this is just to show everybody what our numbers are. Our intention is to be as transparent as possible. But it’s complicated.

There are a lot of people who want to take a look at the state budget and see the ‘See Dick Run’ version – but the state budget is more like ‘War and Peace.’ So we try to be as transparent as we can. The numbers are what the numbers are and they’ll give us the money they give us.”

Nonetheless, several members in the audience expressed frustration at the bewildering complexity of the explanation of the district’s finances and the various components of the property tax levees that go to schools. The frequent use of acronyms drew particular comment.

“You’re right,” said Wyman, “we shouldn’t use acronyms.

Another question focused on whether the budget would increase or decrease the percentage of the budget going directly into the classroom. The Arizona auditor general each year reports on school budgets, including figures that track “classroom spending” on teachers and aides and “non-classroom spending” on things like administration, transportation, facilities, food service, utilities, insurance and other costs – both fixed and variable.

Wyman said 65 percent of the Proposition 123 money will go to teachers, 27 percent to classified personnel like counselors, bus drivers, and secretaries and 9 percent will go to administration, like principals, vice principals and district staff.

The district spends about 10 percent of its overall budget on administration, which is right at the state average and slightly below the national average.

Payson Councilor Michael Hughes asked, “what happens if Proposition 123 does not pass?”

“We’ll be frozen again,” said Wyman. “We’d be back to 2007 levels. With Proposition 123, we’re basically at 2008 levels.

That’s what it means.”

Another audience member sought Wyman’s reaction to Swenson’s insistence that the state had enough money to settle the inflation lawsuit, with the surplus and Rainy Day fund rising to above $1 billion.

Wyman said the Joint Legislative Budget Committee projects that already approved tax cuts and a likely recession in the next several years will slow, then reverse the rise in state revenues. That could make it hard to sustain the $350 million annually over the next 10 years. Business and corporate tax cuts approved in the past two years will end up cutting state revenues by $350 million annually, by the time they’re entirely phased in.

“I have concerns that billion dollars (surplus) does not translate out over 10 years,” said Wyman. “I understand they project a decrease in revenues over the next four years based on a possible recession – so that’s a concern I have. I don’t think taking the money solely from the general fund is sustainable

“If Prop. 123 fails, we’ll be frozen again. We’d be back to 2007 levels. With Proposition 123, we’re basically at 2008 levels.

That’s what it means.”

over 10 years. I’m not sure the Legislature wants to spend all the money that’s there, so that may be a different issue.

Another audience member asked what the schools will do in 10 years, when Proposition 123 expires and the payouts from the case account in the state land trust revert to 2.5 percent.

“I have no idea,” said Wyman.

“Between now and then – the governor has indicated this is a good first step. No one has outlined what the next steps are. .

Unfortunately, we can only project the best we can. As things change, you adjust. It’s so convoluted, it’s just too hard to project out what we’ll do.”

In Loving Memory Our family will gather on May 07, 2016 to celebrate the life of our beloved mother, Beverly Joanne Phillips who has gone to be with her Father in Heaven.

Born to Cecil and Ozelle Lovell on September 22, 1938. She was their only child.

She leaves on this Earth 4 beautiful daughters and their loved ones: Cathie (Eddie), Cheri, Lori (Josh) and Alissa (Hank). She was a Grandmother of 12 and Great Grandmother of 9. She had a close relationship with her Grandchildren and was known to most of them as Grandma Flipflops.

Bev moved from Estes Park, Colorado to Payson, Arizona, with her then Husband, Gary Phillips(Lefty), with Lori and Alissa in tow. At first, she was skeptical of Payson and whether or not she would be able to call it home, but soon developed a life-long love for it.

Her first view of the town was from Star Valley as she descended from the Mogollan Rim. She saw Mountains and Pine Trees and was relieved that Payson looked like a beautiful place. Payson was where she would call her home for most of her life.

Bev was a giver of many things, one of a kind. She always gave straight forward advice from the heart.

Bartending was the perfect job for her. She gave many of her years to working at local Payson Establishments, including the Moose Lodge, The Spur & of course, La Casa.

She dedicated a lot of her time to the Payson Rodeo Com-

Longshot Horns shock No. 1 Cibola Amazing young softball team earns another title shot by

Keith Morris

roundup sports editor

PHOENIX – A Payson softball team fortunate to escape with its playoff life a week earlier, utilized the same grit, determination and heart it showed in rallying past an upstart team from Yuma in the state tournament opener to slay a giant from that same desert city on Saturday.

Beating 28th seeded Kofa is one thing.

But knocking off No. 1 Cibola in the Division 3 state semifinals would be quite another. It’s something no other D3 team managed this year as the Raiders left one victim after another in their wake this spring after dropping down from Division 2.

Payson was one of those victims in a 6-0 loss to the Raiders in the Gracie Haught Classic in Payson on March 18.

However, this young Longhorns squad featuring six sophomore starters proved up to the challenge. Payson scored a run in the top of the first inning and that was enough as sophomore Aubrielle Paulson and a strong defense shut down the Raiders’ mighty offense in a 1-0 victory at Rose Mofford Softball Complex on Saturday morning.

One of the biggest wins in the history of a program with plenty of them sends the Longhorns to the state championship game for the third straight season.

“This is my third championship game and it just feels good because I didn’t think we would get this far again this year,” said Rachel Spooner, one of three seniors playing this season. “I just have a lot of faith now in this team. It feels like we can take it.”

Another berth in the championship game seemed extremely unlikely when the Longhorns started the season 1-3.

“This team keeps amazing us,” said head coach Curtis Johnson. “Who would have thunk; especially with a 1-3 start? When the first power rankings came out we were 25th or 27th or something. Who would have thunk here’s where we’d be? But hey, that’s what sports are about and what an exciting story.”

Paulson scattered eight hits, walked one and struck out 10.

Cibola junior Madison Sierra limited the Longhorns to just four hits and walked two. She fanned 12.

The difference was Payson (22-7-2) performed flawlessly in the field. The Longhorns won their 10th consecutive game overall and 18th in a row throwing out the regular season tournament games that don’t count in the power rankings, according to information entered on MaxPreps.com.

The Raiders (33-2) made just one error, but it cost them dearly.

Senior Becky Bauer led off the game with a single to right field. Senior Jewel Johnson sacrificed her to second and after Paulson struck out, sophomore Kalea Smith stepped up to the plate with one out. She hit a grounder to the second baseman that should have left Payson with a runner on third and two outs. However, the second baseman bobbled the ball for an error, allowing Smith to reach. And Bauer never stopped running, scoring all the way from first.

That normally wouldn’t have been a problem for the Raiders, who pounded opponents all season.

Cibola had at least one baserunner in every inning.

But Paulson and her teammates didn’t allow the Raiders to touch home plate.

The Raiders’ biggest threat came in the fifth when they loaded the bases with three consecutive oneout hits. But Paulson fanned Kamryn Moctezuma and induced a groundout to first by Dennise

Carrazco to escape.

B u t Cibola kept battling and made one final attempt to keep its season alive in the bottom of the seventh.

Chandler Arviso reached on a single Aubrielle Paulson with one out. And she appeared to put herself in scoring position by stealing second base. However, she was called out for leaving the bag early, which proved huge in the outcome.

The next batter singled, which might have scored Arviso had she been on second. But Moctezuma popped out to Kalea Smith at third base to end it.

Smith tossed her glove in the air and ran across the infield to take part in a joyous celebration in front of the Longhorns’ first base dugout.

It’s one of the biggest wins in program history, rivaling last year’s eight-inning semifinal win over Winslow. The Longhorns advance to the state final at 6:30 tonight at Arizona State University’s Farrington Softball Stadium to face No. 7 Tucson Catalina Foothills.

The Falcons upset No. 2 Florence Poston Butte 2-1 in the quarterfinals and whipped No. 3 Mohave Valley River Valley 12-0 in the semis.

Cibola entered the game 33-1 this season.

The only loss came in the early-season DobsonWestwood Invitational by an 8-7 score to an Arcadia team still alive in the Div. 2 playoffs.

The Raiders went 6-1 against Div. 1 and 2 schools and also beat a pair of California schools.

They entered Saturday 25-0 against D3 schools.

Paulson didn’t pitch against the Raiders in the Gracie Haught Classic game, as coach Curtis Johnson threw Kalea Smith to give her experience.

Cibola posted 16 shutouts. In only 12 games did the Raiders’ opponents manage more than one run.

And the Raiders crushed opposing pitchers, erupting for at least 10 runs 22 times in 34 games entering Saturday. Only four times in going 18-0 in power points games did they fail to score in double digits.

Fishing is one of those activities that everyone in the family can enjoy whether a rod in hand, a camera, or just giving encouragement. Quality time is a priceless commodity, that can pay big dividends later on as that youngster grows into adulthood.

Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee stated it succinctly, “Every child growing up should have the opportunity of going fishing with a dad, mom, or grandparent.” It is time well spent.

If you are looking for the per-

The lake will be stocked with plenty of rainbow trout and the Arizona Game and Fish Department will provide free loaner fishing rods, plus no fishing license is required for that day at the fair. Chances are very good your son or daughter will catch a trout and make a fond memory for later family stories.

Crappies will often grab the fly on the pause, so your next strip should be quick enough to set the hook.

If you are using bait, a mealworm with a small split shot about 2-3 feet under a bobber works well. If you want to release a fish that has swallowed the hook, simply cut the line as close to the crappie’s mouth as possible and release it carefully and quickly.

If you see blood coming from the gills, that is a fish you should keep as it will likely not survive when released.

Crappies, like bass are easy to handle once caught. They do

have delicate mouths, but can be “thumbed” just like a bass. If you are not familiar with this technique, it is accomplished by putting your thumb slightly into the crappie’s mouth with the side of your curved pointer finger on the outside of the lower jaw of the fish.

By locking the crappie’s lower jaw between your thumb and finger it temporarily paralyzes the fish for easy hook removal. If you have hemostats, they are helpful in grabbing the hook for an even quicker hook release especially if the hook is a little further down into the crappie’s mouth. The fish can then quickly be returned to the water to resume spawning duties.

The crappies in Green Valley are generally smaller than those caught in Roosevelt Lake. A large fish in Green Valley is about 8 or 9 inches. If you decide to keep any for supper, remember to just take what you will really need as this is a critical time for future crappies in the lake. The young fish are also a great food source for the bass in Green Valley, so we don’t want to deprive the bass of a great forage source that they depend on.

Water, water – not everywhere Gordon Creek Hike demands a little bit of

Boulder Hopping by

Connie Cockrell

hike columnist

Arizona has a bad rep: Desert, cactus and Gila monsters, without a drop of water. Of course, that describes a big sweep of the state, but water and wildlife abound in hidden places few people see. We were heading to just such a place on April 5 — Gordon Creek Falls.

About 20 of us headed out at 8:30, turning right onto Colcord Road from Highway 260 at mile marker 277. At about 1.3 miles we crossed under the power lines and took advantage of the ample parking near that gate. A couple of hundred yards south we passed through a gate, taking care to close it behind us. We then followed the dirt road back to the power lines. Doing a little cross-country hiking, we followed those lines downhill just past pole #551180 to a dirt road. We were a bit early this year, the wildflowers, usually a lot of lupine, were not yet blooming. We turned to the right onto the dirt road.

This is a lovely open valley and a pleasure to walk through.

Signs of campers appeared on occasion and I can understand why. I could see myself sitting there, enjoying a book and the quiet. We followed the dirt road as it bent to the left then met a fork on the road. Staying to the left, we passed under the power lines again, the creek on our left.

Soon the road crossed the creek and after a couple of hundred yards, reached a green gate at about the 1.4 mile mark, which we passed through, closing the gate behind us. The sun was shining, but wasn’t too hot. We had good company, with temperatures cool enough to make the hike a joy.

We followed the road leftish as it climbed a small stream bank, then shortly across the creek again. The road became a little faint as it meandered through a woody area, but as we kept going, we could see a ravine in the near distance through the trees. That ravine is Gordon Creek. We went into the streambed, bearing right into the rock hopping part of the hike. Taking care not to twist an ankle, we found several pools and small falls along the way. We fought our way through stands of reeds, grasses and other plants, not yet greened out.

After about nine-tenths of a mile, we reached the top of the falls, at GPS 34 15.753N, 110 57.183W. This is a fantastic spot to take a seat, eat your snack, and watch the stream fall over the rocky precipice. You can climb down to the pool below by

The five-mile, round-trip trek to Gordon Creek just off Colcord Road requires boulder-hopping skills — but provides a cool, wet payoff. Along the way, hikers will encounter the big machines clearing a fire buffer zone along Colcord.

Gordon Creek Hike Trailhead: From Payson, drive Highway 260 east past mile marker 277 and turn right onto Colcord Road. Go about 1.3 miles to power lines overhead and gate on right and park on right just before the gate.

Distance: Approximately 5 miles round trip. Regular cars are OK. Shorts in warmer weather.

Difficulty: Moderate due to the slippery, rocky stream bed.

Hiking stick or sticks recommended. Elevation change about 400 feet.

Highlights: Pleasant, easy walk through the open valley floor then rock-hopping along the stream to the Gordon Creek waterfall. climbing up, over, and down the rocks on the right of the falls by a dead tree. Fair warning, it’s scratchy! It is fun, though, to get down to the far side of the pool and wave up at your friends.

We followed the stream back and sure enough, one of our hikers slipped on an unsteady rock and ended up in the stream.

Luckily two other hikers helped her up out of the water, nothing damaged but pride. We followed the dirt road after leaving the stream bed. However, instead of following the power lines up the steep hill, we continued on the road as it meandered over the valley floor. When the road forked, we took the left, larger branch. We saw a couple of rusted out cars in the drainage along

the way. It’s fun to take pictures there. The day we were there, we could see that the area forest was being thinned. Huge logging machines were sitting idle near gigantic piles of stacked logs and even bigger piles of branches. When that was done, we followed the road uphill and returned to the gate we used at the beginning onto Colcord Road. Our cars were to our left, a couple of hundred yards away.

Our trip to the lovely riverine landscape was complete. Shhh!

Our little secret.

Underdogs stun mighty Raiders From page 1B That continued in the state tournament. They bashed Phoenix Barry Goldwater 10-0, eliminated defending champion Tucson Empire 12-7 and dispatched Nogales 11-1 in the quarterfinals.

But Paulson simply shut the Raiders down.

The Arizona Interscholastic Association dropped Cibola down despite plenty of success in the larger divisions. The Raiders, the No. 8 seed in last year’s D2 tournament, reached the title game in the largest division — Class 5A — three times from 1994-98, winning it all in 1994.

Paulson said the Longhorns are outperforming expectations, not only by everyone else, but by themselves, as well.

“We came out and we were ranked so low, I doubted we were going to the playoffs,” she said.

“So just to come back and make it

to state was improvement enough.

The further we go the more people we prove wrong.”

So is this that magical year so many followers of this team have been expecting and hoping for only to watch the last four years end in either the semifinals or the final?

“We work so hard every year and we fall short,” Paulson said.

“I think this is our year.”

The coach said it’s fun watching this team do what nobody thought possible.

“That’s what sports are all about, you never know what’s going to happen and that’s why you play the game,” he said. “I couldn’t be more proud of the girls. They battled, showed a lot of heart and played great defense this game. And then Aubrie pitched one of her best games of the season. You put those two together and we had the run in

the first inning and game, set and match.”

Paulson fans 17 Lobos

Paulson struck out 17 Snowflake batters in a one-hit gem as Payson beat the No. 4 Lobos 6-3 in the quarterfinals on Friday night. She walked four and hit a batter. None of the runs were earned thanks to four Longhorn errors. Snowflake stranded 10 base runners.

Paulson also went 3-for-3 with a walk as Payson collected eight hits. Jodi Taylor went 2-for-3 with a three-run double that staked the Longhorns to a 3-0 lead in the second inning.

Jewel Johnson belted a solo home run to lead off the fifth and the Longhorns added two runs in the top of the sixth.

The game was a rematch of Payson’s 8-6 win over the Lobos at Payson that decided the Section 1 championship.
