After a wet field and the possibility of more rain forced him to cancel the wildly popular Maroon & Gold Practice at Camp Tontozona scheduled for Saturday morning, Arizona State football coach Todd Graham wanted to try and salvage some of the fun associated with that event.

Kirkpatrick blasts McCain Trump an issue in Senate race by

roundup editor

Democrat Ann Kirkpatrick brought her campaign to unseat incumbent U.S. Senator John McCain to Payson last week, with a rousing speech at a fundraiser staged by Rim Country Democrats before opening her local headquarters. Her appearance came on the heels of a nationally reported breach between the longtime Republican senator and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Kirkpatrick, a former prosecutor and state lawmaker who resigned her Flagstaff-based congressional seat to take on McCain, said “people are so disappointed that John McCain wouldn’t stand up to Trump when Trump insulted him. They tell me, ‘if he won’t stand up for himself, he’s not going to stand up for us.’” She added that voters have also complained about McCain’s support for the decision by Senate Republicans not to even hold hearings to consider President Barack Obama’s nomination

Mountain bikers show off trails of Rim Country Story and Photo by Alexis Bechman roundup staff reporter

Despite the threat of monsoonal rain, a good crowd turned out for camping and mountain biking for Certified Bicycle’s Rim Country Mountain Bike gathering July 30 and 31. Shop owner Mick Wolf has been working for years to revive the mountain biking scene in Payson and help boost the local economy. Recently, he and several other riders started the Rim Country Mountain Biking Association to build new trails (including in Rumsey Park) and re-route other trails — including Boulders, Cypress and Monument Peak areas — to make them more rider friendly. While that group works on trails, Wolf held a mountain biking event on the Rim at the end of July, outside East Clear Creek. Riders went out Saturday and Sunday, July 30 and 31, each time heading out from Pinchot Cabin, off Forest Service Road 139, off the northern end of the Houston Brothers Trail. The last time Wolf held a similar event was in 2010. Due to the threat of wet weather, the

Sheriff’s deputies also for a time closed the crossings over Tonto Creek. After days of shuttling from the soggy fields of Tontozona to the artificial turf fields in Payson’s Rumsey Park, the Sun Devils held a final pep rally and went home a day early — disappointing the thousands of fans that normally attend practices at Camp Tontozona on Saturday. Payson has already received 2.13 inches of rain in August — bringing the total for the year to nearly 12 inches. Payson normally gets 3 inches in August and 22 inches in a year, according to the 30-year average rainfall records. The rain backed off on Saturday, with clear skies and distant monsoon billows of clouds. The forecast calls for a renewed chance of rain this week, including a 40 percent chance today and a 60 percent chance Wednesday and 40 percent chance Thursday — with highs in the 80s and lows near 60. On Saturday, the Salt River continued to flow at 117 percent of normal and the Verde River at 142 percent of normal. Unfortunately, the rain hasn’t helped Roosevelt Lake much, which remains at 41 percent full. On Friday, Tonto Creek hit 257 cubic feet per second (cfs) — a whopping 1,800 times its normal flow. At that point, the Salt River had 140 percent of its normal flow and the Verde River nearly 300 percent as water from the week’s storms rushed downstream. By Monday Tonto Creek had dwindled to 22 cfs, the Salt River to 347 cfs and the Verde River to 240 cfs. That’s nearly normal for Tonto Creek, but two or three times normal for the Verde and the Salt. The storm produced even heavier rainfall in the Valley, with several inches falling in the space of an hour in areas that normally get about 11 inches all year long. The National Weather Service termed the downpour a “100-year event.” The Phoenix event is the latest in a series of record-breaking storms across the nation. While much of Arizona still remains in moderate drought after a decade of far below normal rainfall, much of the East has struggled to cope with flooding. A report this year from the National Academy of Sciences said a link between heavy rain events and global warming could be made with a “moderate” amount of confidence. The National Climate Center tracks global temperatures and concluded that this year saw the warmest June since the start of record keeping in 1880. The temperature was 1.6 degrees above the 20th century average globally — the 40th June in a row to beat that average. June of 2016 also marked the 378th consecutive month with temperatures above the 20th century average.

Gila County schools race: Clash of priorities Sandoval targets principals

Gorry stresses teacher training by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

Gail Gorry believes train ing teachers would give the Gila County superintendent of schools the best chance to improve student achievement. “Teachers are the ones we need to train,” she said at a recent Tea Party meeting, “Some of them come ready to go right out of college. Others don’t have the skills. If you don’t build a relationship with a student, everything goes over their head.” Hand in hand with teacher training for Gorry — literacy. “I’m a huge proponent of literacy,” said Gorry for a story in the Miami-Globe Herald. “If you look at the scores of the tested grade levels across Gila County — in the reading level — we are not as high as we need to be.” Gorry believes that literacy begins in the home with the parents. She would seek to find ways through the superinten dent’s office to make sure chil dren have a good foundation before they even start kinder garten. Research supports Gorry’s goal. An organization called Thirty Million Words, founded and run by Dr. Dana Suskind, M.D. a pediatric cochlear implant surgeon and professor of surgery at the University of Chicago, based the TMW program on peer reviewed research. The research found that children of parents without a college degree heard up to

30 million fewer words by the time they hit kindergarten than their peers. That puts children behind the eight ball because they do not understand what concepts lie behind certain words. Take post office, for exam ple. A child whose parents took them to the post office and explained how it worked and why they visited the post office would have a leg up on a stu dent who didn’t understand the word. Not only would that student have to learn how to spell post office, they would have to learn the concept of post office — double the work of their more literate classmate. As a result, they start behind from the get-go. Some never catch up and just drop out in frustration continuing the cycle of illiteracy. (For more information on the TMW program, please see: http://www.paysonroundup. com/news/2016/mar/15/empow ering-parents-be-teachers/) A good teacher can make a significant difference, Gorry believes. Gorry has seen this in her time at the superintendent’s office where she current ly serves as Gila County’s Education Service Agency cur riculum specialist. Last year, Gorry obtained a grant to train teachers to teach math and science differently. She told Tea Party members the results exceeded expecta tions. “We blew the top off,” said

Former principal, teacher and county schools administrator Gail Gorry says she’ll stress teacher training if she becomes the county schools superintendent. Gorry. “(The students’) scores grew from 37 percent to 84 percent of their knowledge in those areas.” Gorry believes offering training such as that could entice teachers to remain in Gila County’s rural school dis tricts. She told the audience at the Tea Party meeting that the nation has a teacher shortage. Here in Arizona, estimates are the state is 1,000 teach ers short. Gorry’s philosophy trusts if districts add valuable training to inspire teachers, it would increase job satisfaction and retention. Gorry faces Roy Sandoval in the Republican primary on Aug. 30. Whoever wins will immedi ately take the position as Linda O’Dell has resigned to work as the superintendent/principal of the Pine-Strawberry School District.

Roy Sandoval believes if the Gila County superintendent of schools focuses on school administrators, the positive changes will trickle down. “Teachers in the classroom are the most important thing. Day after day they’re in those classrooms and they touch those students. But the prin cipal is the key to changing a school. Wherever you find a great school, you’ll find a great principal. If we put our training into principals and superinten dents such that they are looking at the right things — whether its data instruction or school culture — that’s when you’re going to see a change.” He’s dedicated his consulting business to that philosophy. “Southwest School Turn arounds will provide the techni cal expertise to assist governing boards and administration in identifying and addressing stra tegic components in a systemic fashion to increase and sus tain levels of student academic performance,” according to his company’s website. Turning around schools and students’ experiences started with Sandoval himself. The son of two blue-collar parents from Gisela who did not have college degrees, Sandoval said he was on track to work for the Gila County Road Department when a wrestling coach told him he’d make a great teacher. With that vision and a men tor to support him, Sandoval

Clinic helps people find health insurance From page 1 more than what would qualify him for AHCCCS. I found him a plan. In his particular instance, his deductible was $1,000.” Lewis said once people find insurance, they can either find a provider of their choice or use the North Country clinic. Lewis and another adviser alternate on different days. “If you come in and have questions and I don’t have the answers,” said Lewis, “there are two ladies with 40 years experience between them that can help you.” Lewis said the clinic will look at all of the options avail able, including the insurance exchange, AHCCCS for the family or even putting just the children onto KidsCare.

KidsCare is a cooperation between the federal govern ment and the state of Arizona to provide insurance to chil dren whose families make too much for AHCCCS, but too lit tle to pay for health insurance for their kids. Lewis said KidsCare started up on July 26. He’s looking for ward to adding it to his suite of options. Lewis has helped many at the end of their ropes. “A gal I knew graduated, had good insurance and a good job,” he said. “A year or two later, she went in and found out she had breast cancer. She beat it. It went into remission for 11 years. Then it came back, but she knew how to treat it — right up until her million-dollar cap ran out. (After that) nobody

would pick her up. I helped her get a policy and her insurance policy ended up being $240 per month. She beat the cancer again, but ... she wouldn’t be if she didn’t receive insurance. Which wouldn’t have happened if she didn’t know anybody who was a certified insurance coun selor.” North Country HealthCare is located at 708 S. Coeur D’Alene Lane in Payson.

applied himself, graduated from Payson High School, earned a degree from Northern Arizona University (the first in his fam ily) and returned to his alma mater to work as a biology teacher. From there he worked up to curriculum director and then principal of both an elementary and high school in the Payson district. But it was when Sandoval received the chance to turn around the arguably most underperforming, drug-rid den high school in Arizona — Alchesay in the White River School District — that he found his passion: turning around schools. “My goal is to support and affect student achievement,” said Sandoval. “It’s what you want to do as an educator — enrich opportunities for kids.” Sandoval recognizes that the Gila County superintendent has a limited scope of influ ence, distributing supplemental funding to districts and staff development, but that’s where he believes he can make the most difference. Sandoval has training from the University of Virginia’s Darden/Curry National Turn around Specialist Program. He hopes to take that training and apply it to all the schools in Gila County.

Former Payson High School principal Roy Sandoval says principals play the key role in the success of a school. In his consulting business Sandoval works with adminis trators to set goals for improve ment based on an analysis of the root causes of the problems the district faces. He then men tors and supports the adminis tration so they can implement those goals with their teachers and staff. “I would like to make a change,” said Sandoval. “Give me four years to make a change. If the curve is flat — you won’t have to complain about me and won’t have to fire me because I will not run for re-election ... I don’t necessarily do the things that are popular or everyone else might do. I look at data, I make hard decisions — and I don’t act on impulse — but I’m really invested in change.

United States facing a health care emergency The politicians squabble. The people suffer. We can’t think of a better example than the debilitating and dangerous partisan deadlock when it comes to health care reform. For the past eight years, the politicians have engaged in pointless and unproductive finger-pointing, while the voters have struggled to cope with the most expensive, unfair, inefficient, high-tech, amazing, innovative, dysfunctional medical system in the world. As reporter Michele Nelson’s ongoing series about medical insurance has already demonstrated, the problem remains especially acute in rural counties like ours. We don’t have enough doctors. We don’t have enough insurance plans. And we can’t afford the premiums — much less the increasingly ruinous out-ofpocket deductibles. Consider the results of a Commonwealth Fund comparison of health care systems

of other advanced industrial nations worldwide. The U.S. spends far more on medical care than anyone else — mostly because everything just costs more. But despite those sky-high expenditures, we have worst health outcomes, a shorter life expectancy and more chronic medical problems than most other advanced nations. The study found that the U.S. spends 17 percent of its much larger gross domestic product on medical care — far more than anywhere else in the world. France comes in second at 12 percent. Australia, the United Kingdom, Japan, Norway and Canada all spend 10 percent or less. We spend about $9,000 per person per year. Canada spends $4,500, Australia about $4,111 and the United Kingdom about $3,400. We spend close to three times the average for the industrialized nations. And what do we get for this enormous outlay?

Intelligent voting Editor: I will have voted in 13 presidential elections come this November. I have cast my ballots for some wonderful candidates and for some woeful ones. I continue to try to avoid TV ads, robo calls, slick mailings, and endorsements from so called character witnesses vouching for a candidates honesty, intelligence, qualifications, ad nauseam. I read newspapers, magazines, listen to others, and then make up my own mind as to who to vote for or against without too much outside influence. Let’s harken back to a recent primary election in our state. We voters were insightful enough to send the “H and H” boys packing (Attorney General Tom Horne and School Superintendent John Huppenthal) and replace them with members of their own party. Good for us! I’m hopeful that at the end of August voter intelligence will prevail when many of our Rim Country politicians will be up for re-election. All of our state House members and our state senator hail from the same political party and ideology. It might be time to change direction with new faces, ideas and personalities to represent us in the high country. This isn’t an idea that concerns just Democrats, Republicans, conservatives, Independents or liberals. Rather it’s a matter of accountability, competence, integrity, intelligence and diversity.

However, the Affordable Care Act also has lots of flaws. It did little or nothing to control costs — the biggest problem facing our system.

Australia and $15,000 in the Netherlands. Similar figures apply to most procedures. Now, maybe it would be worth it if we could count on long, healthy lives as a result of our outrageous spending. But the U.S. life expectancy at birth is 79 years, compared to 83 in Japan. Australia, Canada, France, Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland all have life expectancies of about 82 years. The Democrats made a valiant effort to address some of the problems eight years ago with passage of the Affordable Care Act. The reforms have

We have just over half as many doctors per capita as Norway, Germany, Sweden and Switzerland. We go to the doctor one-third as often as people in Japan and roughly half as often as people in Germany, Canada and Australia. We also have far fewer hospital beds and go to the hospital less often than most other industrialized countries. So why do we pay so much more to get so much less? Mostly, our private insurance-based system ensures that everything costs far more. Bypass surgery costs $75,000 in the U.S., $42,000 in

pay the fine and gamble on not getting insurance. So the people who did seek coverage under the Affordable Care Act proved more expensive than predicted. As a result, insurance companies are both jacking up premiums and pulling out of the smaller markets — like rural Arizona. Clearly, the crushing cost of our medical system poses a national emergency. And what are the politicians doing? Mostly pointing fingers, scoring points and misleading voters. We need the kind of national, bipartisan agreement that gave us Medicare and Social Security. The Democrats proposed it, the Republicans improved it and the nation embraced it. Now, we’re not naive enough to think that this lunatic political season will yield reasonable reform proposals in the next two months. Clearly, the politicians are doubling down — with reckless and distorted attacks at every level. But we do hope voters will seek the facts. We’ll try to do our part, by continuing our series on the health care system. We hope that if you’ve got examples of how the system works — or doesn’t — that you’ll contact Ms. Nelson (mnelson@payson.com). In the meantime, the politicians will squabble. And the people will suffer. But don’t forget — the voters still have the final say.

Dryer fire reported by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

There was a small fire at Majestic Mountain Inn Sunday afternoon. Hotel staff called the Payson Fire Department around 3:50 p.m. to check out the laundry room after there was a fire in a dryer. The staff believed the fire was out, but when a fire captain arrived, he saw a pile of towels was still on fire on the floor. Crews quickly knocked down the flames, containing it to the dryer and the towels.

From page 1

The cause of the fire is under investigation. No one was injured. Rollover on Highway 87 Also this weekend, the PFD responded to a rollover Saturday morning south of Payson. A vehicle rolled after striking another vehicle near milepost 249, near the Round Valley turnoff. The driver of the vehicle was ejected. PHI flew him to the Valley in stable condition. The people in the vehicle struck were not seriously injured.

turnout at the 2016 event was not as strong as 2010. While the forecast called for monsoon rains, the campers who did brave the elements this year saw just a few drops over the weekend. In all, about 15 riders showed up, joining Wolf and his family of six, including wife Jackie, four children and dogs Taco and Rio. “The weather was perfect. We never got wet. The riding was dry, and the camping was as good as it gets (perfect nightly temperatures),” Wolf wrote on his Facebook page.

The first ride consisted of 12 miles on the Fred Haught Trail and the second ride, 14 miles made up of the Houston Brothers and Barbershop trails. “The Houston Brothers Trail is some of the sweetest XC (cross country) singletrack in the entire state of Arizona,” Wolf said. “Mountain Bike gatherings are the way it should be. Getting together with your friends for a weekend of awesome camping and awesome mountain biking. Hope we can do more of them in the future.” Certified Bicycle, 410 W. Main St., is open Monday through Friday. For more information, call 928-970-2472 or visit www.CertifiedBicycle.com.

Arizona Senate race heats up as Trump becomes an issue From page 1 staunchly defended his comments that the mother of the slain solider probably couldn’t speak at the Democratic convention because Muslims won’t allow women to speak. Trump initially declined to endorse either McCain or House Speaker Paul Ryan in their primary bids. A few days later. Trump reversed himself and issued endorsements for both McCain and Ryan. In the Republican primary, McCain faces a strong challenge from state lawmaker Kelli Ward, who spoke to a rally at the Republican convention McCain skipped. Ward has fiercely criticized McCain, repeatedly hitting him for failing to support Trump. During the primaries, Trump said McCain’s five years as a prisoner of war in Hanoi didn’t qualify him as a war hero and said, “I like people who weren’t captured.” Despite those comments by Trump, McCain has repeatedly said he will support the Republican nominee for president. Kirkpatrick grew up on a ranch near McNary. She has worked as a prosecutor, run her own law firm and served several terms in the Arizona Legislature. Her father was a Democrat and a businessman. Her mother was a rancher and a Republican. “It made for some interesting dinner table conversations,” said Kirkpatrick, who has served three terms in Congress — at one time representing all of Gila County, but after redistricting representing only Southern Gila County. “At the end of the day, we’re

all family. We’re all Arizonans. We’re all Americans. My background has given me the ability to find that space where we can find common ground and get things done.” In Congress, she has teamed up repeatedly with Rep. Paul Gosar, one of the most conservative members of Congress whose Yuma-based district currently includes Northern Gila County. She has pushed for the Four Forest Restoration Initiative, the C.C. Cragin pipeline and the land exchange for a massive copper mine near Superior. Kirkpatrick said she and her husband have driven all over Arizona in the course of the campaign. She’s running unopposed in the Democratic primary and has raised $5 million so far to finance her general election contest. “We hear from a lot of working families who value education, but they’re struggling to put their children through school. Lots of seniors who want to keep Social Security and Medicare and wonder if it’s going to be protected. I hear from so many veterans. They’ve served their country and they’re still struggling to get the benefits they’ve earned. We

hear from so many dreamers — young people who grew up here and want comprehensive immigration reform. Arizona is a beautiful, diverse state. It’s clear to me that these people want a senator who represents all of that diversity.” McCain has focused much of his fire in the campaign on Kirkpatrick, largely ignoring Ward’s relentless attacks on him. Last week, the four-term senator issued a release mocking her call for term limits, pointing out that she has run six campaigns in the past 12 years for state and federal office. The McCain release also blasted Kirkpatrick for supporting the Affordable Care Act. McCain has repeatedly called for the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, which provided coverage for about 18 million Americans — reducing the number of people without insurance from about 16 percent to about 10 percent. Critics of the Affordable Care Act have pointed to recent increases in premiums for insurance policies sold on the health exchanges and the growing number of rural areas with few or no policies available. But Kirkpatrick has staunch-

Congresswoman Ann Kirkpatrick, seeking to unseat Republican Sen. John McCain, headlined a fundraiser that drew about 100 Rim Country Democrats last week. ly defended her vote for the health care coverage expansion. However, she said that now the federal government does need to take action to control increases in premiums and ensure competitive policies and rates in rural areas like Gila County. “Look, I was at a wedding a couple of years ago in Prescott

Valley,” she said in an interview prior to the fundraiser. “The father of the bride pulled me aside — said, ‘I’m a Republican — I voted against you. I was wrong. I wouldn’t be here without your health care vote.’ We don’t want to go back to the day when that father would have died for lack of medical insurance.”

She said Republicans should have worked to fix the problems with the program, rather than repeatedly trying to repeal it. “I think it was a mistake to vote to repeal it over 60 times in the House of Representatives instead of sitting down at the table to work together in a bipartisan way to fix the problems that have to be fixed.”

Protect yourself from lightning strikes by

Carol Baxter

special for mha foundation

Lightning is said to strike when brilliant (or an even pretty good) idea occurs. This creates beneficial stress. Although it is short-lived, it improves performance and motivation while it boosts energy and excitement. It makes a person feel good and hopeful. An idea causes some of the 4 billion neurons housed in the brain to work in conjunction across the right and left hemispheres with their two different processing styles. A person has long been considered lucky or unlucky if “lightning strikes twice” depending on if said person won the lottery twice or hit different elk at different times on the same stretch of highway. Not only can lightning strike the same person twice, it can strike the same place again and again. The Empire State Building in New York City gets zapped an average of 100 times each year. When that jagged, silver light cracks open a sapphire monsoon sky, it can be beautiful to behold if you are far away (or looking at pictures on Facebook), downright scary if the lightning is close and you are unprotected. Hear thunder? If so, lightning is within striking distance. Be weather-aware wherever you are, but especially this time of year while you are enjoying the Mogollon Rim and the surrounding forests of central Arizona. Five thousand to 50,000 amperes of current are discharged when lightning hits either directly, or via side flash, ground current, conduction, or streamer. Lightning is hazardous and the third leading cause of storm-related deaths. It is not good for the human body.

“Immediate medical attention, including calling 911, starting CPR, and using an AED, may be critically important to keep the person alive until more advanced medical care arrives,” according to the National Weather Service. Outdoor safety tips Camping? Get in your car (as long as it’s not a convertible) or a building that has plumbing or wiring which can ground a lightning strike. Camping in the back country? It is not safe outside, however lower ground is better than an exposed ridge, dry ravines or depressions are better than open areas, and you should avoid trees with large trunks. The best practice is to stay in a safe location 30 minutes after you hear the last rumble of thunder. Places that look picturesque for your tent, metal-sided trailer or RV when the weather is fine should be avoided if the weather is stormy. They include: under an isolated tree or the tallest tree, close to a metal fence or on a hilltop. Fiberglass RVs and pop-ups with fabric-like sides are not safe places to hunker down during a lightning storm. Concrete floors such as those in a ramada, concrete restroom facilities or garage floor often have metallic mesh within, making them unsafe when lightning is crackling all around. Why you want to avoid feeling the strike Anyone outside when it’s stormy is potentially at risk of feeling the ground current from a strike. In this instance, lightning typically enters the body at the closest point to the strike, surges through the cardiovascular and nervous systems and then exits the body at the furthest point from the

Large animals are most at risk of death from ground current because their large bodies make for a greater distance between contact points. If you are camping or hiking and get caught in a storm you are most at risk for the less common, but often deadly direct strikes. The heat of flashover can cause the skin to burn although the current moving through the body is most hazardous. Side flashes are when a taller object gets hit and the current jumps from it and can happen when a person is sheltering under a tree. Injuries by streamers are not as common. Streamers develop

Ever since Brazil’s Zika epidemic started making headlines last year, world leaders have been nervously awaiting its impact on the Olympics this summer. What is Zika? Zika’s a virus spread by mosquitoes, and Brazil is at the center of the international epidemic. Zika can be fatal, and even if you never experience symptoms, you can pass on the virus to family or friends. • Zika can cause birth defects like microcephaly due to abnormal fetal brain development. • Zika can cause Guillain Barré Syndrome, a serious nervous system disease. • In people with weak immune systems, Zika can cause death. • Mosquitoes carrying the Zika virus. • Sexual transmission and contact with bodily fluids. • Blood transfusions, tattoos, piercings, injected drugs. How to prevent infection: • Treat clothing with permethrin. • Wear long sleeves and pants to cover your limbs.

american physicians and surgeons

• Use condoms during sexual intercourse. • Don’t donate blood for at least 6 months after your trip. • Clean and bandage any scrapes, cuts and sores. • Avoid mosquito bites to prevent virus from spreading. Possible symptoms if you’re infected: • Mild fever of 98.7 or more • Pink eye • Rash • Muscle/joint pain • Headache • Upset stomach What to do if infected: • Men and non-pregnant women: Consult a doctor. Drink plenty of water and get lots of rest. Take pain-relievers (aspirin, ibuprofen) for aches and pains. • Pregnant women: Consult a doctor immediately. Tests may include blood and urine tests and/or a fetal ultrasound.

The Zika virus has arrived in a trendy area in North Miami, Fla. The numbers are so far few, but unlike the more than 1,600 other Zika-infected patients in the U.S., these patients had no history of travel to outbreak areas or known contact with people who had such a history. So, how did it get here, and how do we stop it? It did not get here because of “global warming” or “climate change.” People get Zika from a mosquito that previously bit an infected person. And the mosquito did not bite somebody in Puerto Rico and then fly to Florida. The Aedes aegypti mosquito flies only a few 100 feet in its entire lifetime. The ones that bit the Florida patients were hatched close to their home. And by the way, the mosquito’s ancestors did not migrate here because of global warming. They hitched a ride to North America decades ago in a load of used tires. The infected traveler from Zika country was human. He probably had no idea that he was sick — 80 percent of infected people don’t. If we were really serious about keeping Zika out, we would quarantine and test all travelers arriving from affected areas. And still more important, we would control our borders to keep illegal entrants

out. We have no idea where they came from, what diseases they might carry, or where they go. If we do nothing, a lot of people will get Zika. Most will have no symptoms, and most of the rest will have a short, mild illness and become immune to future infections. The epidemic will die down when most prospective hosts are immune. But this is not the strategy we want to follow. A few people will get Guillain Barré syndrome, which causes a potentially fatal paralysis. Worse, some babies will be born with severe birth defects including microcephaly (an abnormally small head and brain). The CDC-recommended strategy, with do-it-yourself prevention, is a step above nothing: Don’t have a baby (and here’s a condom), wear long sleeves and pants, and apply a mosquito repellent such as DEET. It has taken an unprecedented action of warning about travel TO an area in Florida, but what about those traveling FROM high-risk areas in the Caribbean and Central and South America? Personally I have not found DEET under socks and long pants to be effective at keeping those ankle-biters from enjoying a meal. Maybe it wasn’t strong enough. Some preparations say “10%” in tiny print. Some preparations have 30% or more. Pregnant women who are taking the precaution of using a 6% preparation need to apply it every two hours. An EPA official proclaimed DEET to be safe at any stage

of pregnancy, but there is a paucity of research, especially in the first trimester. DEET does have hazards. It is flammable and potentially explosive. It can cause skin corrosion and serious eye damage. It is an acute and long-term hazard to aquatic animals. (But at least it doesn’t cause global warming.) CDC and Florida are applying insecticides, but though they aren’t working very well, it is the height of political incorrectness to suggest trying DDT, which was used in effective vector-control programs up until the early 1970s, when the EPA banned it for overblown or even fabricated environmental concerns. We might start with a head-to-head comparison of DDT with what we’re using instead for both effectiveness and hazard. CDC now suggests screening all pregnant women for Zika exposure at every prenatal visit. This should be a wake-up alarm. Even if Zika ultimately does not cause a large number of casualties in the U.S., it is a sentinel. Its cousins, transmitted by the same mosquito — dengue, chikungunya, and yellow fever — are far worse. So are diseases transmitted person-to-person, especially tuberculosis. Third World diseases are coming to the U.S. We’ve put out the welcome mat for unscreened human entrants, legal and illegal, while our environmental policy protects disease vectors both here and abroad.

Direct lightning strikes will fry your electronics. Conduction can also ruin your expensive

homeowner’s and renter’s insurance policy and cover lightning-caused fire. Savvy homeowners will want to keep a list of their belongings in a safety deposit box or fire-proof box to make claims processing easier should the need arise. Companies that specialize in prevention by installation of roof lightning rods and other safety equipment may be able to offer the homeowner peace of mind. The Arizona Emergency Information Network estimates your chance of being struck by lightning is 1:600,000. Those odds can be slanted more in your favor by taking the aforementioned precautions.

A UPS (aka uninterruptable power supply) gives you time to shut off your equipment in the event of a power failure or conduction event. A surge protector suppresses excess voltage so it cannot cause harm. Both the UPS and surge protectors are available in a range of joules and number of outlets to suit your needs.

as the main strand of lightning heads toward the ground. Typically only one streamer makes ground contact, but when the main strand discharges, so do all its streamers. Get off the lake and out of the pool or shower when lightning is flashing. Metal wires, plumbing fixtures, corded phones, anything plugged into an electrical outlet or other metal surfaces that extend outside allow lightning a place to travel and this conduction can go for quite a distance.

Whey too much or too little? So, how about that the whole whey protein shake/bar thing? I see all of these buff, sixpack ab bodies floating on the labels of the whey protein supplement containers and I can’t help but think — I want that — in more ways than one. I yearn for a sleek body sculpted by shapely muscles. And I can’t lie; it would be titillating to hang with some of those shapely-bodied guys from the label. I’m sure you’ve done what I’ve done — grabbed a protein bar or shake if you don’t have time to make a meal. But is that really a good choice? Will the extra protein build you up, or just break down your wallet? Frankly, that’s up for debate. Research shows some positive and some negative results when it comes to bulking up on protein. Whey is the liquid that separates out when they make cheese from milk. It contains amino acids. Amino acids build those hunky muscles I covet. Some studies show that whey protein buffs up the immune system, fights cancer, controls blood sugar, lowers cholesterol, treats asthma and

might even prevent allergies. All of that and those hunky muscles too? Be still my beating heart. In fact, if your heart’s pounding before you pound down that protein bar, it won’t do much good. A study done by the American Dietetic Association, Dietitians of Canada, and the American College of Sports Medicine found that eating protein during exercise didn’t improve performance. Better to go with a low-fat, high-carbohydrate snack with moderate protein if you want to feed hard-working muscles. But wait: Timing, as it turns out, is everything. The protein bar only helps build muscles AFTER the workout. In a study published in the journal of Applied Physiology, 387 U.S. Marines (now there’s a mass of muscles) ate protein supplements for 54 days after basic training. Those Marines not only improved their muscle mass, they improved their immune systems. Those who

ate the protein supplements had 33 percent fewer medical visits than those Marines given a placebo. “Oorah!” to quote a buff Marine. Researchers credit the powerful antioxidant glutathione in the whey for the improved immune responses. But all is not perfect in the world of whey. Eating too much protein produces its own problems. Americans tend to eat twice the amount of protein they actually need, according to the National Institutes of Health. This sets them up to get fat. Yes, the body turns excess protein straight into fat. Not only that, but eating too much protein may leech calcium out of your bones. It goes like this — the body releases acids as it digests the protein. The body uses calcium to neutralize those acids. To find that extra calcium, the body takes it from the bones. So far, that’s just a theory. However, the Harvard School of Public Health has found odd studies linking a high-protein diet with both more fractures and increased bone density. Go figure. What’s clear — athletes can scarf up larger amounts of pro-

Boosting immunity in older adults UA Health Sciences immunologists find new infection-fighting T cells with research Immune-system frailty in adults 65 and older is a widespread public health issue. A study led by the Department of Immunobiology at the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Tucson points to new cells that may hold a solution. Sixty-five is the age when many people retire, kick back and take it easy. And so it often is with the human immune system. After years of fending off influenza and other infectious diseases, the immune system gradually starts to lose its oomph for fighting infection. As a result, viruses, bacteria and other microbial intruders are a common killer of adults 65 and older. New findings from a study led by the University of Arizona Health Sciences Department of Immunobiology show it may not have to be that way. The study examined blood samples from 92 volunteers, age 21 to 97. Researchers focused on a subset of T cells — white blood cells that fight infection and decrease in number as adults age — specifically, T cells labeled “naïve” because they have not yet been exposed to a virus or other infection. “When there is an infection, like an influenza virus, for example, a small cohort of these naïve T cells — only those that have special molecules on their surface that will bind to fragments of the influenza — are deployed in a very targeted manner,” said Janko Nikolich-Žugich, MD, PhD, head of the Department of Immunobiology and Elizabeth Bowman Professor of Medical Research at the UA College of Medicine – Tucson, and the study’s principal investigator. These deployed naïve T cells then become effector T cells, he said. Unlike the naïve cells, which cannot harm the virus, effector cells are “armed” and able to clear the virus using antiviral molecules they now make. “Once they have done away with the infection, most of the effector T cells will die, but a substantial number will survive and become ‘memory cells,’ which will remember and fight off an infection, if and when it recurs,” Nikolich-Žugich said. The breakthrough came

when the researchers, focusing on naïve T cells, discovered that when stimulated with pieces of virus, a portion of the cells began making interferon-gamma, a powerful anti-viral molecule. They found that among these naïve cells — which now looked functionally more like memory cells — many were marked to attack cytomegalovirus (CMV), a type of herpes virus that infects most people and is carried for life without harm, kept in check by a highly functioning immune system, but devastating to those with suppressed immune systems, including older adults. These naïve T cells are “a new ‘flavor’ of naïve cells that are not completely naïve,” Nikolich-Žugich said. “So our new discovery is that there is more diversity than we realized within the naïve cells, and that some already have committed to dealing with CMV and other really persistent infections, and others are really, truly naïve.” Nikolich-Žugich and his colleagues have named the “new flavor” of T cells “T memory cells with naïve phenotype.” One next step is to count the number of these cells in an individual’s blood sample, which may indicate the fitness of that person’s immune system, Nikolich-Žugich said. Another step will be to vaccinate some of the people in the study cohort and monitor these special T memory cells before and after vaccination, to test whether it can predict responses to vaccination. In addition to influenza vaccine — which confers more protection on younger adults than older adults — Nikolich-Žugich would like to try a vaccine given to prevent Japanese Encephalitis Virus — a cousin of West Nile Virus, which belongs to the same group as the Zika and Dengue viruses. “Giving a vaccine that most people have not been given in

their lifetimes will give us a better idea of how fit is their immune system,” he said. “The biggest challenge for us going forward is to measure the status of the immune system, including these new cells, and actually show, in an average person, if you are below a certain level of a T cell population, or a certain cytokine or a certain antibody, what is your risk of infection or poor response to vaccination. And if you are at risk, how can we work to help you and your immune system.” Also co-director of the UA Center on Aging and a member of the UA BIO5 Institute, Nikolich-Žugich has focused nearly 20 years of his career on how aging affects the immune system and what can be done to better protect older adults from infectious disease. “Older adults are by far the largest group of people who are vulnerable to infections, because of their weakened immune systems,” he said. Some are more vulnerable than others, and not everyone is susceptible to the same extent. “The challenge for us is to figure out who is, and to what extent, and what we can do to help.” The study, “Human memory T cells with a naïve phenotype accumulate with aging and respond to persistent viruses,” was published June 6 online before print in Nature Immunology. This research was supported in part by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases contract NO1-A100017; National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute grant RC2HL101; and National Institute on Aging grants R01 AG-048021 and P30 AG008017. Additional support came from Dr. Nikolich-Žugich’s Bowman Endowed Professorship in Medical Research, and the University of Arizona Cancer Center Support Grant NCI – CA 023074.

Look for a supplement with low carbs (1-5 grams), low fat (1-5 grams) and high protein (20-30 grams). • Use products that have been around for at least three years. • Make sure the powder is natural and pure with no more than 7-10 ingredients. • The quality of protein including: the concentration which determines how it’s absorbed; whey protein isolate which delivers amino acids to the muscles; casein digests slowly and provides a constant flow of amino acids over time. • Do not buy the hype. Compare ingredients, company track records and do not let the hype influence purchasing decisions.

ASU Pep Rally draws dedicated Sun Devil fans From page 1 Graham decided to direct the bus drivers to make a detour on their way back to the ASU campus in Tempe on Friday night. And an estimated 900 fans attending the Second Annual ASU Football Pep Rally at Green Valley Park got an unexpected treat when the players poured out of the buses to mingle with them and sign autographs. Many were disappointed when Graham informed them that the final practice was canceled. But they were thrilled to interact with the players. The crowd enjoyed getting to meet the players. “They were actually very nice, they came up to my parents and myself and shook hands with us and talked to us a little bit,” said Payson High assistant principal Jeff Simon, who attended with his parents, daughter and niece. “So it was very cool.” Payson dentist and ASU graduate Brett Flaherty was there with his wife, four children and several other friends and family members. “There’s probably about 20 of us here,” he said. “We love ASU so it’s a good night to come down to the park and enjoy being with friends and family.” Payson orthodontist Ben McDowell, another ASU grad, was there with his wife and three kids. Although he was disappointed to find out the Saturday practice was canceled, he was happy to see the players and coaches show up at the pep rally. “It’s awesome that they come here and do this,” he said. “I got to talk to a lot of the players and I got an autograph from Kareem Orr. He was awesome last year. So that was pretty cool.” And he hoped to have something even cooler happen during the time he had planned to spend watching the canceled practice at Camp T. Former ASU and Carolina Panthers receiver

Derrick Kagen, who served as the keynote speaker at the pep rally, took McDowell up on an offer to golf together. “We might end up going golfing tomorrow morning,” McDowell said. “So that would be a highlight of my life. We’ll see if it works out. I’m supposed to text him if there’s a tee time open.” Mesa’s Brent Skousen didn’t know about the pep rally until he and his wife and 2-year-old daughter drove up from the Valley earlier in the afternoon. “We came up to visit family and heard about the pep rally, so we came by and it’s been a good time,” he said. “I love the music. And the best part is just letting my daughter run around in the cool air.” It was a bit cooler than normal because of the monsoon that threw a monkey wrench into Camp Tontozona all week. In addition to leading to the cancellation of the Maroon & Gold Practice, which draws thousands to the picturesque site tucked into the pines approximately 17 miles east of Payson, the rain also forced the Sun Devils to move two of the three practices that were actually held to the south multi-purpose artificial turf field at Rumsey Park. The first practice on Wednesday ended early after lightning in the area led coaches to move the players off the field and into the pavilion across the parking lot. And the rain affected this year’s camp more than any other in the five seasons since Graham restarted the team-bonding trip. But the pep rally went off without a hitch. The players arrived at nearly the same time as ASU’s popular mascot, Sparky, landed in a helicopter just as he did at the first pep rally at Green Valley Park a year earlier, prompting kids to run screaming to greet him. “It was pandemonium,” said Payson Parks, Recreation and Tourism Director Cameron Davis.

The four-hour gala also featured the Payson High cheer team and ASU Spirit Squad, live music from True to Life and football-themed games, as well as Kagen. Graham obviously regretted having to make the difficult decision to cancel Saturday’s practice. The Sun Devils opened practice at Camp Tontozona this year for the first time in Graham’s tenure as head coach thanks to the installation of

Internet service that allowed student-athletes enrolled in summer classes to complete homework and email it in. ASU normally came to the camp later in the preseason after summer classes ended. “It’s really wet out there and they’ve got to make sure those boys are safe,” said Davis during the pep rally. “They’ve got a whole season in front of them and I commend Coach Graham. It was one of the hardest decisions he’s ever had to make because the guy actually got emotional when he was talking to me about how much he loves being up here and being at Camp Tontozona. “So I know he and his staff really thought hard about it and unfortunately they needed to make that decision for the safety of their kids.” The team opens the season at home against Northern Arizona on Sept. 3. Payson High’s cheer team performed on the same stage as the ASU spirit squad, which offered the local girls a chance to see the kinds of stunts they may be performing one day. “It was really fun,” said Payson senior Tianna Salas. “It was cool seeing the ASU cheerleaders doing what they can do. Someday we’ll be able to do that.” Davis said the event was a success. “What a great opportunity we had here in Payson tonight,” Davis said. “Derrick Kagen, the greatest receiver in ASU football history, was here, Coach Graham was here, the 2016 Sun Devils team was here, you just can’t beat that kind of stuff in a small town.” Davis said he appreciates how much Graham cares about the community of Payson. “He loves our community, he told me that himself,” Davis said. “He really appreciates the fans that we have here in Payson. And he just didn’t feel right about picking up and going down (to Tempe) without coming and saying goodbye and showcasing his team to everybody.”

Civil Air Patrol seeks help of lifesaving volunteers Payson Squadron 209 has put out an urgent call for volunteers to help it conduct a host of rescue and emergency missions, from pilots to photographers and navigators. The volunteers will help crew the group’s new airplane, a turbocharged veteran of the Afghanistan War, where the plane was used to train pilots. The Civil Air Patrol this year celebrated 75 years of serving the nation as a volunteer Air Force civilian auxiliary. That includes Payson Squadron 209, chartered in 1977. The volunteer force helps in search and rescue and other missions and relies on volunteer pilots, many of them with Air Force and National Guard experience. Nationally, the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) operates a fleet of 550 aircraft and deploys 55,000 volunteers. The CAP performs 90 percent of the inland search and rescue missions directed by the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center. The Payson Squadron has 31 senior members, six pilots and eight cadets. The squadron conducts air and ground search and rescue missions, trains senior members and cadets, flies missions to assess damage and detect fires, floods, and other disasters. The group provides aerial photographs to local and federal emergency officials. The squadron also coordinates with local search and rescue and Forest Service officials to assist in rescues.

Early detection and rapid coordination helped minimize the fire’s impact. • In 2005, the Payson Squadron was the first Arizona squadron to receive an “all glass” navigation equipped aircraft. Payson became the hub of all training on this new equipment for all of Arizona CAP. • ADOT engaged the CAP to fly and report disabled vehicles on AZ 87, especially during heavy traffic periods. • In 2006, the cadets and senior members of Squadron 209 painted the large runway markings of the Payson Airport.

fire officials, search teams, and damage assessment with valuable early detection information. The squadron plane also has radio repeater capabilities to provide a vital communications link between ground and air search crews from a high altitude. The squadron has put out an urgent call for volunteers so it can get crews in the air on short notice. Other volunteers can serve as pilots and flight crews, including the mission observer and the mission scanner. Navigation, communication, search skills and photography all are necessary and CAP will provide training. The squadron needs people to run the radios, organize the search, supplement the navigation, and document and distribute the photographic images. The CAP also needs people for everything from aerospace education programs to handling administrative responsibilities. The objective of the CAP cadet program is to transform youth aged 12 to 20 into responsible citizens. The program allows young people to progress at their own pace through a phased 16-level program including aerospace education, leadership training, physical fitness and moral guidance. How to join Start with a visit to a squadron meeting. Senior members meet on the first Saturday of every month at 9 a.m., typically at the CAP hangar at the Payson Airport. Cadets meet every Thursday 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Payson High School. For more information on CAP, visit gocivilairpatrol.com.

Ex-Blue Ridge star still a team player Groebner back for 4th season as walk-on by

Keith Morris

roundup sports editor

After starring on the high school football field for one of the premier small school programs in the state, Danny Groebner didn’t want to quit playing the sport he loves. The versatile and talented multi-sport athlete at Lakeside Blue Ridge could have easily played football at a small college. But he wanted more. He graduated from Blue Ridge in 2012 with a 3.9 grade point average and was named the school’s Male Athlete of the Year. He enjoyed a spectacular senior season in leading the Yellowjackets to a 14-0 record and the Division 4 state title and was voted MVP by his teammates. He averaged 9.77 yards per carry in leading the Yellowjackets with 1,456 rushing yards. He totaled 2,533 all-purpose yards, 29 touchdowns, 12 field goals and 266 points. Groebner was selected to play in the Arizona Football Coaches Association 2012 AllStar Football Game and played quarterback, running back, place-kicker, kick returner and kicked a 42-yard field and returned a kickoff 98 yards. He was a National High School Coaches Association First Team Scholar Athlete. He also played two years of high school basketball and four years of high school baseball, starring as a center fielder for the Yellowjackets. He accepted a baseball scholarship from Cochise Community College and enrolled there and played on the baseball team during the fall 2012 season but realized it wasn’t the place for him. His Blue Ridge teammate Chans Cox accepted a football scholarship from Arizona State and Groebner decided to join his friend in Tempe. So he went out for the team as a walk-on as a red-shirt freshman, hoping to get noticed and eventually earn a scholarship. He did the same thing his sophomore year. He suited up for all home games but didn’t travel with

the team. After two years of working as hard as anyone and playing on the scout team that helps the varsity team prepare for upcoming opponents, Groebner last year suited up with the team and traveled to all away games for the first time. In the sixth game of the season, the 5-foot-9 182-pound receiver finally heard his name called for the final series of the Sun Devils’ 48-23 blowout win over visiting Colorado on Oct. 10. It was the moment he’d been waiting for. “It definitely caught me off guard,” Groebner recalled. “I actually had the headset on because I was taking stats down for the coaches and I heard my name over the headset and it was my receivers coach. “So I dropped the headset real quick and grabbed my helmet, put on my gloves and ran out there. I don’t think I had enough time to think about what was actually going on. It was a shock and it was an awesome experience. I’ll never forget it.” Of course, since they were running the clock out, he didn’t have much to do. But still. “It was surreal, I couldn’t believe I was actually on the field during in a game,” he said. “Just getting on that field for one drive was totally worth every second of being a walkon and practicing and working my butt off.” Now he’s back for one final season in the same role. He’d love to get comfortable hearing his name called this fall. “I’m hoping I’ll get used to that feeling this year,” he said. As always, he’ll do anything to help the Sun Devils. “I’ll help any way possible, whether it’s on special teams or field goal (team) or any way I can,” he said. Knowing this is his final season, he’s prepared himself for

Everything must go right for a steer wrestler to succeed. And it did most weekends this season for Star Valley teen Denton Petersen. The Payson High senior finished third in the Arizona High School Rodeo Association to qualify for the High School National Finals Rodeo in Gillette, Wyo. But he quickly realized he wouldn’t enjoy the same success in the world’s largest rodeo. “The first steer I drew wasn’t that good of a steer,” he said. “He ran really hard and my horse was kind of behind and when I caught up with him and got off, I missed him.” That ended his bid to compete for the national title. But he still got another go and made the most of it. He had to wait a week for his second and final run. That went much better. He managed to bring the steer down in 5.2 seconds, which left him in 15th place. Not bad in a competition featuring approximately 200 steer wrestlers, according to Petersen. Although he had hoped for two good runs in Gillette, he said he enjoyed the experience. “I was a little bummed about my first run, but it was real

I met a lot of kids and got a few new friends.” He and his family drove 20 hours each way to reach Gillette, stopping for the night in Colorado on the way there and in Utah on the way back. Petersen said the experience should benefit him if he’s able to qualify again next summer. “I think it’s got me more prepared for things like that,” he said. “We’ll just see how this next year goes.” Although he competed in

He’ll also compete again in the Arizona Junior Rodeo Association, which opens its season Sept. 10-11 in Williams. He won the saddle for all-around teen cowboy in the AJRA last season.

Former Payson student leads USA archery team in Rio Country’s topranked archer has local ties by

Keith Morris

roundup sports editor

Like a lot of us, Alesha and John Calderwood plan on watching plenty of the Summer Olympic Games in Rio on television over the next couple of weeks. Unlike most of us, however, the Payson couple won’t just be casual observers. No, they’ll be emotionally invested in what they see on their screens. Their grandson, Brady Ellison, may just be the best archer in the world. And he’s in Rio with a legitimate shot at winning Olympic gold. Heck, he’s ranked No. 2 in the world among men’s recurve shooters, according to a cover story on him in this month’s issue of Petersen’s Bowhunting Magazine. The top-ranked U.S. archer made his Olympic debut at the age of 19 in the 2008 Beijing Games and helped Team USA win a silver medal in the 2012 London Olympic Games. Now in his third Olympic Games, he’s out to claim individual gold. And his grandparents will be watching. They traveled to watch him in person in both China and England but decided against going to Brazil. “We thought about it but didn’t really consider it,” Alesha said. “Brady didn’t want us to go because (he was concerned about our) safety.” He’ll have plenty of support with his mother, father, stepmom and his other grandmother all traveling to Rio.

And his Payson grandparents will be glued to the TV. “I’ll probably be pacing because it’s just as bad watching it on TV as being there; it’s just as nerve wracking,” Alesha said. However, John said he doesn’t get nervous. Their grandson was performing very well entering the Games. “He’s having a great year,” Alesha said. “He’s very confident and ready to go.” According to Wikipedia, Ellison holds the record for the longest continuous period as the world number-one-ranked men’s recurve archer, from August 2011 to April 2013. This past May, he married Slovenian archer Toja Cerne. They live in Globe. He grew up in Payson, attending Payson Elementary and Rim Country Middle School before his family moved to Glendale, according to Alesha. Halfway through his junior year of high school, he moved to the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif. at the age of 17 to get serious about his archery career. That dedication paid off as Ellison has won multiple world championships and more than three dozen World Cup medals, according to Petersen’s Bowhunting Magazine. Alesha and John belong to the Community Presbyterian Church in Payson. And they keep the congregation abreast of how their grandson is doing. You bet they’re proud. “Yeah, I think we’ll keep him,” Alesha said. The Olympic archery competition takes place Aug. 6-12. Most of the coverage can be found on NBC Sports Network, although MSNBC may also provide some coverage.

Groebner kind of player Devils love From page 15 and dedication to the program. “That guy is all about sacrifice,” said DelVaughn Alexander, who is ASU’s tight ends coach this season but spent the previous four years as the Sun Devils’ receivers coach. “As we got to the end of last year you could see Danny start to travel with the team. That wasn’t to play in games; that was a testament to who he is. He represents exactly who we want all of our players to be.” Alexander said only student-athletes with plenty of character come out for the team as walk-ons and play on the scout team. “It’s the toughest job on the team,” he said. “It’s a selfless job and sometimes it’s a thankless job. But for a guy with high character and discipline that can fight through those things and wants to just do one thing and is all about sacrifice, I think

it’s pretty easy for those guys.” The coach said it’s unclear if Groebner’s role will expand in his final season, but he and the other coaches know what they’ve got in a guy like him. “I know who he’s going to be no matter what happens,” Alexander said. “He has unwavering character.” Groebner has no regrets as he enters his fourth season as a Sun Devil. “It’s been an experience,” he said. “There’s been ups, there’s been downs, for sure but I wouldn’t trade it for anything else. I’ve loved every second of it. “The biggest part of it is the brotherhood that I have with all my teammates and the friendships I’ll have forever after this with all my teammates after we’ve gone through battle on the field together and conditioning, just everything we’ve gone through. I’ll definitely have lifelong friends after this for sure.”

Former Payson High student Brady Ellison entered this year’s Rio Summer Olympic Games as the No. 2 ranked men’s recurve archer in the world. He’s attempting to lead Team USA back to the medal stand after helping his country win a silver medal in London four years ago. He also competed in the Beijing Olympics at the age of 19.
