Wait times drop Banner builds up staff, slashes long ER waiting room delays by

Alexis Bechman

Emergency room waiting times have been cut in half in the past two weeks, according to Mike Herring, chief nursing officer for Banner Payson Medical Center. Herring said the hiring of additional emergency room nurses and staff familiarity with the new computer interface has cut the average time spent from arrival at the emergency room to discharge or admission to the hospital to an average of about 180 minutes. That’s still above his 150-minute goal, but only half as long as the waits in the first week after Banner took over Payson Regional Medical Center. When fully staffed, the wait times have dropped to 118 min-

Community college wants accreditation by

Toulouse, a 6-year-old blue tick coonhound dog stopped, looked at its handler and whined outside 87 Cyclery early Monday morning. He stopped at the same spot two other Tonto Rim Search and Rescue tracking dogs had stopped after following the scent of a missing man through neighborhoods and along the Beeline Highway. With no sign of the Alzheimer’s patient, the search and rescue volunteers found themselves face to face with a frightening mystery. The dogs had done their job; now their handlers had to decipher what the dogs had revealed. The next day, the man turned up sleeping under a tree in Pine — and the message of the dogs became clear. The man had wandered down the highway after walking away from the lock-down unit at Payson Care Center. A passerby picked up the 66-yearold. Perhaps thinking he lived in Pine, the good Samaritan drove him up and dropped him off. The man later told nurses he was trying to get to the Farmers

Despite the Arizona Legislature’s votes to gut community college funding, the Gila Community College board has placed accreditation on the front burner. However, the college must balance the costs against the benefits in meeting that goal. At a special committee meeting on Aug. 13, chairman Jerry McCreary expressed his concern that the provisional community college status granted to Gila Community College and Santa Cruz Community College, could be rescinded by any whim of the Legislature. Committee and board member Jan

Brocker agreed. “This provisional college status is something the state came up with and we need to be realistic whether or not that will continue to exist,” she said. Cost remains at the heart of the accreditation issue. GCC has already sent in a packet of information to the Higher Learning Commission, which grants accreditation to colleges and universities in the Southwest, However, the HLC refused to move forward with the accreditation request claiming the packet was incomplete. HLC said the district lacks adequate staff, including a chief executive officer, chief financial officer and a chief academic officer. The list had more items, but the addition-

al staff requires a substantial amount of resources. Senior Dean Stephen Cullen said the estimated budget to cover all of the requirements would come to about $12 million. He said now, the GCC budget comes to $7 million. In order to reach accreditation, Cullen said he and McCreary estimated the budget needed the increase plus a reserve of $12 million. “(HLC wants) to see you have the capacity to run about five years,” said Cullen. McCreary agreed and said community colleges around the state “faced closing their doors because they might not have the reserves to run year-to-year.”

utes on many days — despite continued high patient volumes, he said. “When I first walked in, the staffing was three nurses during the day, but ideally with an ER this size I want it up to where there are five nurses,” said Herring. He said he understood the frustrations patients and their families feel when they spend hours in the waiting room. “The patient experience is the big push,” he said. “It’s all about communications: One of the biggest frustrations is you don’t know what’s going on — you don’t know what you’re waiting for. So even if you come in on a day when we’re overwhelmed, you should have a nurse letting you

Medical helicopter provider remains by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

Although there is a new yellow helicopter parked outside Banner Payson Medical Center, Native Air wants residents to know they are still flying in Rim Country. Native Air relocated to the airport after Banner signed a contract with Petroleum Helicopters Incorporated (PHI), moving it onto the hospital pad Aug. 1 after Banner took over ownership of the hospital, formerly Payson Regional Medical Center. After 13 years on the pad, Native Air 7 moved to a new base at the airport. “We are happy to continue serving the community and local fire departments, hospital, and ambulance. Even though Petroleum Helicopters Incorporated has arrived in Payson, Native 7 remains committed to our community, stand-

ing strong and ready for the call,” wrote Jess Ballentyne, Native Air flight paramedic, on the squad’s Facebook page. Lance Porter, CEO of Banner Payson, said having two helicopter companies in town is actually a good thing for residents. If PHI is out on a call and a patient needs to be flown out, Native Air is standing by and vice versa. Porter believes this could mean faster response times. Residents will see PHI on the hospital pad most of the time because it has contracted with Banner for first right of refusal on hospital transfers, such as when someone needs to go to a Valley hospital. In case of a vehicle accident or other emergency, dispatchers will call the helicopter closest to the scene. Porter said the hospital met with local fire departments and

all three told us “this man is not here” and that is what good track trail dogs do.” This is the second major mission for the TRSAR dog team this year. In April, a woman wandered away from the Powell Place. She was found at Payson High School. While most residents hear about TRSAR volunteers hiking down to Fossil Creek to rescue dehydrated hikers, into the various canyons around Rim Country to carry out injured canyon-goers and on the trails looking for lost hikers, they also have a talented team of fourlegged workers. What started with one dog several years ago has swelled into a team of six dogs. Ringo, a 5-year-old Aussie/hound mix, was the first dog the team trained and Starr now cares for her at home. She then added her 6-year-old bluetick hound Toulouse. The other dogs in the team include Lewis, a 10-year-old Labrador/heeler mix, owned and To learn more about the handled by Jim McMillion; Echo, a Tonto Rim Search and 3-year-old Aussie mix, owned and Rescue dog team, visit handled by Margaret Johnson; TRSAR.org.

TRSAR relies on donahandled by Greg Reed and Robin tions for training and buying Ippolito’s 1.5-year-old Labrador/ gear. pit mix Pollyanna. All of the dogs undergo long hours of training, which TRSAR funds through community donations. The handlers pay for the dogs’ food and all veterinary needs are provided for free by Alan Hallman, with Star Valley Veterinary Clinic. At 1:30 a.m. Sunday, Starr got a call that an Alzheimer’s patient was missing. After the April mission, the team in May went through some new training to learn new tracking techniques. This was the chance to put those to work. Starr said they learned about trust at training. For years, the handlers had let their dogs wander wherever they wanted on a search. But sometimes this lets dogs get off task and is “just taking you for a hike.” Every so often now, a handler checks his or her dog. Gently pulling back on the leash will either prompt the dog to continue to pull in the direction of the scent trail or turn for directions, indicating they’ve lost the scent. The team also learned to recognize when the dogs have concluded the person they were tracking is no longer in the area. “This is so difficult to read,” she said. Handlers must recognize the dog’s signal, especially after it has followed a scent track for several miles and then just stops. Some handlers might think the dog has given up. But in this case, the dogs were signaling the man’s scent had vanished at the point he got into the car. “We had three very confirmed negatives,” Starr said. “I was really impressed with the three teams.” The urban environment added to the difficulty of the search. When a person walks down a street or a trail, they leave a scent trail. Some bloodhounds can detect this trail even two weeks later. This time, the man had been missing for only a few hours. Each dog sniffed the man’s pillowcase and then led their handler through a 6-foot gate outside the lockdown wing of Payson Care Center the missing man had scaled (he had a history of this). About 10 feet from the gate, was a 4-foot gate, locked, but loose on its hinges so there was a gap of about a foot. Ringo, nose on ground, went

through these and then went west through the car wash parking lot and south on 87. At the 87 Cyclery bike shop his head came up and he stopped. Sgt. Rod Cronk, with the Gila County Sheriff’s Office, started dog team No. 2 Reed and Chill, with Kate Nicholson and Mary GomezRobles as support. After about 20 minutes, Chill stopped in front of 87 Cyclery and put his head up. The final dog, Toulouse, as large as he is, fought his way through the bottom hole in the chain locked gate with his vest on and took off. He cleared every doorway, every stairwell, every culvert along the way. He reached the same area at the bike shop as had Ringo and Chill and stopped. It was now 5 a.m. “I am very confident that our dogs searched along an active highway where scent is tossed around willy-nilly and hard to lock on to, but the dogs prevailed. This is something we have trained for, to understand when a dog gives a negative, telling you the search is effectively over because the subject is no longer there.” The GCSO found the man Monday at 2:30 p.m. in Pine. He had suffered no injuries during his misadvenure. A nurse from Payson Care Center later told Starr the man was trying to get to the Farmers Market, which he visited every Saturday. He told the nurse that an old man in a truck stopped and asked him what he was doing, told him it was too dark and too cold for him to be out and asked him where he was headed. The missing man pointed north. “The bottom line is our dogs are smart and very attuned to the search, but they depend upon us to interpret what they are telling us and this is very complicated and very difficult for us humans,” Starr said. “I’d like to thank Cronk for his expert handling of the search and how he handled the dog teams. You cannot ask for better.”

Payson lawmaker’s husband dies suddenly by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

Brenda Barton, Rim Country’s representative in the Arizona Legislature, lost her husband, Bruce, on Wednesday, Aug. 19. Payson Mayor Kenny Evans reported the news from the League of Cities and Towns conference in Phoenix. “I got a call from the mayor of Safford, Chris Gibbs, that he passed away last night,” said Evans. Evans said he was aware that Bruce had entered the hospital earlier in the week. The Payson mayor said he knew something was not right when Brenda did not show up for the conference. “I’ve never been here and not seen Brenda — this was the first time in my tenure,” said

Evans. “She was going to receive an award.” Calls to Barton’s office went unanswered. Brenda is a fifth generation Arizonan. Her family settled in Arizona in 1870. She has served in the state Legislature since 2010 serving on numerous committees from the Ad Hoc House Committee on Forest Restoration, to Women in Government, the Energy and Natural Resources Committee and the North American Council of the State Agricultural and Rural Leaders. Bruce supported his wife at rallies and on the campaign trail. He almost always appeared with her at speeches and rallies, providing faithful and unfailing support. He saw her through every campaign and proved her devoted and selfless advocate, lending both his expertise and his passion to her campaign, partnering with her in offer-

ing many years of dedicated public service. The pair remained a fixture at political and community events during their shared service to the region. Barton’s family had deep roots in the Safford area. She lived there when first elected to the Legislature, before redistricting prompted her to move to Payson to run again for the seat. Through her political career, he provided a pillar of support. He generally served as her campaign manager, driver, supporter and biggest fan. He would respond with dogged, polite but passionate persistence on her behalf to any slight — zealously guarding her political legacy. As a couple, they worked with rare cooperation and respect. His loss will be felt keenly by the community and her large, extended family.

Kids know the great teachers

• Aug. 23, 1784: Four counties in North Carolina declare their independence as the state of Franklin. In defiance of Congress, Franklin survived as an independent nation for four years with its own constitution, Indian treaties and legislated system of barter. • Aug. 21, 1923: In Kalamazoo, Mich., an ordinance was passed forbidding dancers from gazing into the eyes of their partner. • Aug. 22, 1950: The United States Lawn Tennis Association accepts Althea Gibson into its annual championship at Forest Hills, N.Y., making her the first black player to compete in a U.S. national tennis competition. • Aug. 20, 1977: Voyager 2 was launched by the United States. The spacecraft was carrying a 12 inch copper phonograph record containing greetings in dozens of languages, samples of music and sounds of nature. • Aug. 21, 1991: Just three days after it began, a coup against Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev collapses. The Soviet Union would soon cease to exist as a nation and as a Cold War threat to the United States. Gorbachev resigned as leader of the Soviet Union in December 1991.

Payson has some great teachers. The kids know who they are. So do other teachers. Take Joe Parone, for example. The DECA marketing teacher won the ACTE CTE teacher of the year award because he’s a great teacher – and another teacher from another district nominated him. So, what makes him great? He loves the kids. And that’s the quality that defines any of the great teachers. Step into their classroom and watch how they interact with the children. They speak with respect and understanding, but they also set high expectations -- and help the kids reach them. They give up evenings and weekends to take kids to competitions or on field trips. They purchase supplies from their own pockets. All those things show the passion they have for kids. Once students know a teacher cares, the kids respond. You can see that in the way the DECA kids give Parone their all -- learning and winning awards and competitions. One principal from another district in the state values the kid-loving quality so highly in teachers he brings children into his interviews with potential employees. The purpose? He said although the children don’t ask any interview questions, simply watching how the candidates interact with the children speaks volumes about how they’ll perform in the classroom. Never mind all the curriculum guidelines, state mandates, assessment tests and credentialing. Good schools depend on finding, rewarding and supporting those great teachers -- who love the kids enough to insist they learn. Because of Parone’s genuine concern for his students, he has accomplished award-winning results in the scant seven years he has run the DECA program. But of course he modestly praises his students for his success. But then, that’s what you’d expect from a great teacher.

Where do they get people like that? Easy enough to get discouraged. Seems like we get bad news everywhere we turn – heroin overdoses, global warming, useless regulations, domestic violence and a sluggish economy. But just when you want to lock yourself in a dark room and stop answering the phone, the volunteers from Tonto Rim Search and Rescue do something wonderful. Specifically, volunteers who have already lavished hundreds of hours on arduous efforts to save strangers also decided to take on the painstaking and time-consuming task of teaching their dogs how to follow a scent to find people lost in the woods. Recently, the team deployed four dogs to find an Alzheimer’s patient who wandered away from the nursing home and disappeared into the night. The four dogs all eagerly followed the trail over hill and dale and right along the loud, smelly highway. They all traced the scent to the spot where the man got into a car driven by a would-be Good Samaritan – who ended up driving the patient to Pine and dropping him off. Of course, we’re amazed by the dogs. Reportedly, dogs have sniffers roughly 10,000 times more sensitive than humans. If you had eyes as sensitive as a dog’s nose, you could spot a friend from about 3,000 miles away. Alternatively, a dog can smell one rotten apple hidden in two million barrels, reckons one expert – straining for a metaphor we could grasp. But harnessing that astonishing sense of smell to track the scent of a single human through a bewilderment of competing smells requires marvelous communication and trust between man and dog. But we’re no less amazed by the great-hearted people who turn out every time the Search and Rescue leader puts out the call. They drop whatever they’re doing and run to help – whether that involves bringing along the dog they spent so many hours training or hiking to the bottom of Fossil Creek and toiling out lugging a stretcher and some stranger with a broken ankle. Every time we run one of these stories, we’re hoping that you’ll send a donation or volunteer for the training. If you’re interested, go to TRSAR.org and get involved. But in the meantime, just read the story and think about how lucky we are to have people like that living in our community. If you do, it’ll be easy enough to get encouraged.

Ben Carson believes in America Editor: I attended Ben Carson’s event in Phoenix on Aug. 18. With all the Republican candidates for president in 2016, I believe it is important to Rim Country residents to become informed voters. I therefore thought I should share what I learned at the Ben Carson Phoenix event on Aug. 18 with Payson Roundup readers. I arrived early and the arena was already half full. All the chairs for us old folks were filled, but I was able to slip and slide my way down to the front of the 12,000 attendees, as reported by the security folks who keep count of such things. Dr. Carson was amazing. His theme of “Heal, Revive and Inspire” is appropriate for a healing doctor, but more so for our nation’s needs. It was a delight to be close enough to the podium to see how fluidly Dr. Carson speaks. No teleprompters needed for this guy. I see him as a team builder: “Hire and inspire the best informed people.” Put them on Ben’s team, listen to them and make informed decisions, not political decisions. Ben discussed some of our biggest problems: Including the national debt, illegal immigration, joblessness, the Obama/Kerry nuclear giveaway and its threat to Israel, the entire Middle East, and to the USA specifically. He also discussed ISIS and provided specifics on how to defeat this barbaric, brutal Islamic movement. Finally, I was especially interested in his ideas to shrink the federal government and its persistent growth by not replacing retirees over a four-year period, which will help balance the federal budget. Ben Carson is a good man, a godly man, and is an inspiration for thousands of children and their families who he has saved with his gifted hands providing for them and their families and opportunity for a better life. He deserves the respect of every American, and for those who believe his message, the support of conservatives and progressives. He believes in America and so should we. Vicki Cool

Have pride in our teenagers Editor: It was an honor to serve the Bike and Build group that came through Payson last week. They were pedaling for affordable housing and they stayed a day to help through Habitat for Humanity. I was very impressed with these young folks and they seemed to enjoy talking to us old folks also. Rio Chaves created a musical program that had the kids singing along, laughing, putting on props and participating. Fun was had by all. I heard one young man say the meals were like Thanksgiving wherever they had been. If you would like to donate or support something; look into what our young people are doing, after all they are our future. What a great thing to invest in. Michele Montbleau

How to fix Social Security Editor: It was interesting (and alarming) to read the recent article by Kevin Dick and your editorial. Social Security is celebrating its 80th birthday this year and no one can dispute that its benefits have transformed our country and kept our elderly and disabled from falling into the poverty and ruin that would have happened without it. And of course, when it was being considered, there were

dire predictions on how the passing of the law would be the end of our democracy and plunge us into socialism and ruin our economy. (Very similar to the things that are now being said about the Affordable Care Act.) And in the hand-wringing and dismay about how to change the program so that it can continue to provide these benefits, it seems that no one really considers the easiest solution. Raise the wage cap on required deductions. At this time, everyone whose income equals less than $118,500 pays the tax, but anyone who makes more than that does not pay any Social Security taxes on that additional amount. Therefore, someone who makes $50,000/ year pays 6.2 percent of their entire income while someone who makes $500,000/year only pays 6.2 percent on the first $118,500 and none at all on the other $381,500. Why is that fair? Shouldn’t everyone be required to pay the same percentage of their income? Yet it is somehow assumed that the more prosperous among us shouldn’t be required to pay the same percentage as the rest of us. I personally think that they should have to pay the same percentage as the rest of us on every penny of their income and that would fund Social Security into perpetuity and allow for increased benefits, but even just raising the cap to $255,000 could solve a little more than one-fourth of the long-range problem. Many start screaming that the rich already pay more in taxes than the rest of us do — but even Jesus, when he spoke of the widow’s mite, realized the fairness of having those with abundance give more than those out of their poverty. Yet the possible fixes that have been put forth by the Republicans, such as lowering benefits or increasing the retirement age, will more negatively impact the middle class. And they have been chomping at the bit for years to privatize the system so that Wall Street can start making some money from it. The wealthy already are gifted with many more tax perks than the working class — this would be a chance to level the playing field. Wendy Trainor

Editor: I’ve just read yesterday’s paper and several things stood out. The editorial was a justified criticism of two of our state representatives who want to remove Medicaid expansion and, therefore, want to take health insurance from 300,000 Arizonans. This step would take health insurance from one-third of the population of Gila County. Next was an article about Senator McCain and his disdain for clean air. Followed by an article about Senator Flake who is going to vote against peace with Iran. See a thread here? Against health care, clean air, and peace. Voting day is over a year away, but remember these Republican values. If you disagree I would suggest you put together a list of the things Republicans have done for the good of the people the last decade in Arizona, and have it printed it here. Deb Paulk

worthnoting Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do against cold. For if you put on more clothes as the cold increases, it will have no power to hurt you. So in like manner you must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs, and they will be powerless to vex your mind. — Leonardo DaVinci

How to win a pie eating contest

e h t r o f s u n Joi

131st World’s s u o u n i t n o C t s e d Ol

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

In its first year of existence, the Payson Farmers Market Pie Eating Contest sponsored by Enzo Crivelli Wood Designs, exhibited some successful techniques and some not so successful techniques. Briana Aguirre clearly had the best technique for getting a pie down as she co-won the adult pie eating contest – hands down. Well, actually with no hands up or down as the contestants could not use their hands when eating their pies. Aguirre had a focused approach that relied on first munching off

the outside crust, then slurping up the interior before finally licking up the bottom crust. Another advantage, she used no whipped cream. “It only fills you up,” she said before starting the contest. There was no talking to her during the contest. Others took time to catch a breath and even share a laugh with the crowd surrounding the contestants. Her co-winner was Mike Primmer because he cleaned up

his plate the best. The judge of the contest, Nancy Ray, couldn’t believe how clean his pie tin was. “There’s no crust at all,” she said. The adult’s prize? A pie. For the kid’s contest, the prize was a T-shirt. It was hard to tell exactly which kid won the contest, but Caroline was declared the winner. She never gave her last name, but her face was covered in berries as she smiled.

Joe Parone receives his award from AZCRE President Dr. John Mulcahy.

Teacher wins top award The Association for Career Technical Education has named Payson High School business teacher Joe Parone the 2015 Arizona Career and Technical Education (CTE) Teacher of the Year. Parone received his award at the 40th Anniversary Awards Breakfast of the ACTE Summer Conference in Tucson. He was shocked by the honor. “I was totally surprised and shocked,” he said, “There are almost 2,000 CTE teachers in the state of Arizona. For example, at Payson High School we have eight CTE teachers and we are a small school.” Parone said a teacher outside of the Payson area nominated him. “I was nominated by Renee Woodruff, a marketing teacher from Mountain Ridge High School,” he said. His name has now been thrown into the mix to compete for the ACTE Region V Teacher of the Year in April of 2016 held in San Diego.

“Mr. Parone has been a marketing teacher at Payson High School who works tirelessly for his students and his school,” said Pam Ferguson, executive director of ACTE AZ. Parone started the DECA business program at PHS in 2008. Within five years, it had become an internationally recognized award-winning chapter. Beyond his DECA classes, Parone serves on school committees, coaches varsity football and set up dual enrollment opportunities for students with Gila Community College. But Parone is quick to give credit for his success to others. Parone also works closely with local community businesses to increase partnerships for Payson’s DECA marketing program. “This award is a tribute to the many outstanding marketing students and their parents who I have been fortunate to teach in Payson,” he said, “They made the program as successful as it has become.”

College to seek accreditation From page 1A Cullen said with the estimated costs involved, before GCC seeks accreditation, the college must develop a feasibility plan before committing to the expensive and time-consuming process. “You have to see if you can afford to do it ... we don’t want to put on a program unless there is positive cash flow,” said Cullen.

Currently, GCC pays a steep price to Eastern Arizona College for the privilege of accreditation in the form of a management fee. All employees of the community college actually work for Eastern Arizona College. GCC then pays on a regular basis during the year for the staff and services EAC provides, plus a 25 percent administration fee. Some of the ideas bantered

about to potentially increase revenue included increasing students and the tax levy and grants. One block the committee doesn’t see as a problem: EAC. “It’s important for the committee to understand that EAC has been a great partner with us,” said McCreary. “I appreciated that they brought to our attention that they would not try to hinder our success.”

Is it a granite shop or rock museum?

Payson Granite

roundup staff reporter

Drive up to Debbie and Nollan Blackwell’s Payson Granite and Design store on Aero Drive and swirling multi-colored slabs of granite sit perched up on their ends in the parking lot. But those aren’t all the stones available. Inside the store, the walls have granite slabs hanging, rooms have granite samples in rows and even the table used to sit with clients has a swirling faceted piece of round-cut granite balanced on wrought iron legs. Welcome to a store with so many selections of granite, quartz, recycled glass, carpet, and wood floors that any home decorating color scheme or theme can come to fruition. “I’ll do a 24-inch vanity – I’ll do customs,” said Nollan, “You dream it we do it.” The couple moved to Payson a year ago because of a Tucson client. She had decided to build a home in Flagstaff and told her builder, Rob Meyers, she would only allow the Blackwells to work on her house. Meyers then asked the couple to open a store in Payson. “He said no one in town does what we do (with granite),” said Nollan. The Blackwells said Meyers appreciated their attention to detail, quality of the stones and variety of workmanship.

Hours Payson: Tuesday – Friday: 9-4 (Saturday’s by appointment) Tucson: Saturday – Monday 9-5 For information call: 928-468-6789 Nollan said he can create wavy or round designs with granite that other companies cannot do because they do not own the correct type of fabrication machinery. He said most companies have machinery that only cuts a straight line. Nollan said another difference with his store -- his variety of stones. He attributes that to his connection with a long-time buyer who has a knack for finding unique stones. “We have a buyer who’s been in the granite buying business for 30-years,” said Nollan, “He used to work for Cactus Stone that is known for exotic stone.” The Blackwells have a second store in Tucson called Granite Plus. They have had that store since 1991. The Tucson store serves as the fabrication plant for granite purchased. Nollan has been in the home improvement businesses since he got out of high school. He said his uncle had a flooring business in Memphis he started working

Debbie and Nollan Blackwell recently opened Payson Granite, to provide distinctive granite and quartz slabs and individual pieces of stone for tables, countertops and other uses. High-end cutting and polishing tools in their Tucson store allow them to do custom jobs with unique swirls of stone. at once he graduated. Then he started his own store. In 1977, he started installing granite tile countertops. By the 1990s granite slab countertops came into style. Nollan said a rep came in and told him to get on the bandwagon. “One of our reps came in and said, ‘You’ve got to get into slabs,’” said Nollan. So the couple decided to open the Tucson shop and move to Arizona to be near Nollan’s grandparents. The Blackwells have a reputation for caring about their clients. “The payoff is knowing you’ve done

something nice for someone,” said Nollan. Debbie and Nollan can help clients do floors, countertops and backsplashes. They carry six different lines of quartz styles and recycled glass. The couple also has a line of remnants of granite for those interested in mixing and matching. Unlike most stores, Nollan said he sells the only the part of the slab of highend granite a customer needs to finish a project. Other stores sell customers the whole slab and often keep the remnants.

“Most kitchens need a slab and a half,” said Debbie. One of the big differences Nollan said is that he can get countertops in place in 24 hours and free estimates. “You only lose your kitchen or bathroom sink for 24 hours,” he said, “With our system you keep living your life like we’ve never been there.” Only call Nollan and Debbie before putting in cabinets, he said. “It takes awhile to fabricate the countertops,” he said, “I can’t do that in 24 hours.”

degrees. The majority of good jobs added during the recovery were in managerial (1,780,000), STEM occupations (880,000 jobs) and healthcare professional occupations (445,000 jobs). Among the middle-wage jobs tier, occupations that make up the blue-collar cluster gained the most jobs (860,000). Among the low-wage jobs tier, food, personal services and sales and office support occupations added the most jobs during the recovery (1,053,000). Both good jobs and low-wage jobs have recovered all recession job losses. The downside of this recovery, researchers find, is that middle-wage jobs have not fully recovered: in spite of the 1.9 million jobs added in the recovery, middle-wage jobs remain 900,000 jobs below their pre-recession employment level.

(PRWEB) Contrary to many stories in the media about how low-wage jobs have dominated since the recovery began in 2010, the largest job growth has come from good jobs, according to a new study from the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce. “Good Jobs Are Back: College Graduates Are First in Line” reveals that the economy has added 6.6 million jobs since 2010, 2.9 million of which paid more than $53,000, tended to be full time and provided health insurance and retirement plans. In addition to the 2.9 million high-end jobs created, the economy also created 1.9 million middle-wage jobs and 1.8 million low-wage jobs. “This has been a weak recovery, but the American job machine is working again for college graduates,” said Anthony Carnevale, the Center’s Director and the report’s lead author. The Georgetown researchers divided the jobs into three tiers based on annual earnings. Each tier differed widely in terms of the share of jobs that are full-time, those that provided health insurance and retirement plans and the share of workers with college

representatives from PHI and Native Air and it was agreed that Native Air would handle calls north of the airport, including the Pine-Strawberry area, and PHI would answer calls coming from the Star Valley area. “The closest ship will go regardless of who it is,” Ballentyne said. “What matters is the patient. We are firm believers here that it is not about the business end it is about the people.” Porter said that is how it should be: patient care always comes first. With PHI on the helio pad, Native Air cannot land at the hospital unless they move out of the way. Recently, Native Air was scheduled to pick a patient up from the hospital and transport them to another hospital. The crew thought PHI had moved out of the way and was out of service, but when they arrived, PHI was still on the pad. The PHI crew ran out and moved the helicopter so we could land, Ballentyne said. Porter said the transition to working with two helicopter companies has gone smoothly. If Native Air needs to land at the hospital PHI will move out of the way. Ballentyne said she would like patients to know they can request which helicopter provider picks them up. Just as a patient can request which hospital they are taken to, they can also request who picks them up. In a critical care situation, first responders would request the closest helicopter. Ballentyne said it is always best to listen to first responders, but patients have the legal right to choose what services they want. “What ever is best for the patient,” she said. “The closest appropriate treatment is always the best.” Porter said he was not familiar with the ins and out of patients asking for a particular helicopter provider and that dispatchers should always pick the closest provider. Many residents already have flight insurance with Native Air through OmniAdvantage. Residents who have medical flight insurance with OmniAdvantage are still covered. PHI also works with several insurers. “Native 7 is proud to continue to serve the people of the Rim Country and we want you to know that if you are currently enrolled in the OmniAdvantage membership your membership is still valid and you can request our services on scene or out of the hospital,” she said.

Emergency room waiting decreases From page 1A know a minimum of once every hour as to what’s the next step.” He said Banner has shifted nurses to Payson from its Valley facilities to slash wait times as it works to hire enough nurses to have at least five local nurses on shift during the peak hours. A nurse for 19 years, Herring has just bought a house in Payson for his family, including two kids in college and two in high school. He said the medical center will shift to a new contractor to provide doctors for the emergency room starting on Sept. 1. Hospital Medical Director Dr. Joe Betz previously worked at the Maricopa County Medical Center, the busiest emergency room in the state. Banner will rely on Team Health, an emergency room operating group that works in other Banner facilities in the Valley and elsewhere. The group will hire doctors who previously worked in the emergency room, but hire additional doctors as well. On most shifts, the emergency room will have one doctor, one physician’s assistant and five emergency room specialized nurses, said Herring. “In a rural hospital, you get everything — you never know what’s going to come through the door. We’re the only game in town, so I want to make sure that those nurses are trained in a really wide array of

cases,” said Herring. Normally, the Payson emergency room gets about 30 patients a day. But on some days, the number balloons to 60 or 70. “I think you can feel a different vibe in the ER now,” he said. “On some days we’ve gotten the door-to-doctor time down to 12 minutes, even with 40 patients.” The augmented staff will soon get the benefit of Banner’s sophisticated telemedicine program, which will allow the emergency room doctor to consult in real time with a team of specialists in the Valley. The system will also allow the rapid exchange of things like blood tests and X-rays, said Herring. “I think our telemedicine capacity will really be improving in October, we’ll increase the cabling and the speed of the connection. At that point, any room in the hospital can tap into an intensivist. That will be an exciting piece for us. All of the Banner hospitals are connected to the system, so they can pull up any records and consults and put it in front of them.” Herring said an analysis of the ebb and flow of patients has also prompted a shift in staffing levels. In most of Banner’s Valley hospitals, volume starts to pick up at about 11 in the morning and tends to peak in the late afternoon. But in Payson, the records show that business begins to pick up at closer to 9 a.m. and continues to build into the early afternoon. “So if you don’t have the staffing on at 9

a.m., you end up playing catch up and the wait times increase,” he said. The key to cutting wait times and improving the patient experience remains building up the staffing, especially among the specially trained emergency room nurses. Herring said Banner will continue to work with the nursing program at Gila Community College to produce nurses with the necessary expertise. But in the meantime, the emergency room will rely on hires from the Valley and rotating nurses from other Banner facilities. “We’re right now actively recruiting and hiring. We want our core staff living in the community,” said Herring. “So we’re creating new positions to hire nurses. Finding experienced nurses in any department is a challenge right now nationally, so we’re developing a grad program with the (Gila Community) College. We’ve just hired two new grads and with the university coming here, we want to go through ASU, which likes their graduates to have rural experience.” In the meantime, he expressed sympathy for patients who endured long wait times in the changeover, as the Roundup detailed in a July 31 story. “Our wait times are still not where we want them, but we’ll try to decrease those numbers. But I know that even if you’re out of the emergency room quickly, you won’t feel good about it if you weren’t communicated with and treated with compassion. We know that.”

Taking flight Bald eagle population records record growth by

Pete Aleshire

roundup editor

Arizona’s unique population of desert-nesting bald eagles continues to delight and surprise researchers — steadily expanding their range and producing more and more gangly fledglings. Arizona Game and Fish announced this week that the Arizona eagles set a record during this year’s spring breeding season, with 76 nesting pairs laying

89 eggs. The number of breeding areas increased of 11 percent over last year. The number of eggs increased by 18 percent. All told, 66 of the chicks lived long enough to take flight, compared to the previous record of 58. The proud parents in the record crop included the faithful and productive bald eagles nesting at Woods Canyon Lake, who this year replaced the nest they stole from ospreys six years ago with a brand

new n e s t high in a ponderosa pine. The move from the unclimbable dead snag to a live tree allowed Arizona Game and Fish biologists to scale the tree and tag the

three fledglings for the first time. Better yet, the chicks from Woods Canyon Lake produced six years ago have finally matured — which means they may soon set up nesting territories near other Rim Country lakes. This year, a pair of eagles built a nest and laid eggs in a tree overlooking Chevelon Lake, the second of the Rim Country lakes they’ve colonized, said Kenneth Jacobson, raptor management coordinator for Arizona Game and Fish. Another pair nested for the first time in a tree overlooking Becker Lake near Springerville. Once, biologists assumed the Arizonanesting eagles would mostly nest only along the lower elevations of the Salt and Gila rivers. But for the past decade, the eagles have consistently surprised biologists by spreading outward — even into trees overlooking lakes in the wintery White Mountains. In addition, the eagles have nested closer together than biologists had expected and showed a willingness to live on all kinds of critters besides fish

— including ducks, coots, turtles and even prairie dogs. “On Saguaro Lake eight years ago, we had one breeding pair,” said Jacobson. “But in the last five years, four different breeding pairs have utilized that lake. The eagles mostly nest near water, but we’ve seen some that are eating the prairie dogs as a food source — which was a little bit surprising. On the middle Verde River, you’ll find nests with just piles of turtle shells. It definitely is exciting from our end to see where we’ll find them next.” The Arizona eagles continue to maintain a population distinct from eagles nationally. Many of the eagles seen in the winter are migratory birds that nest in Canada or elsewhere, but flee the frigid winters of the north. Eagles generally fledge and then spend five to seven years wandering the world, before reaching sexual maturity, finding a lifetime mate and returning to their birthplace to find a nearby territory to build a nest of their own. Game and Fish biologists have found only one case in which an eagle born elsewhere found a mate and set up a nest in Arizona — and that was a wayward male eagle from Texas. Otherwise, the growth from 11 nesting pairs in 1978 to 76 nesting pairs this year has relied almost entirely on Arizona-born eagles. Environmental groups like the Center for Biological Diversity have argued that the Arizona-nesting eagles qualify as a distinct, subpopulation that still deserves protection, despite the recovery of bald eagles nationwide. The Center has doggedly fought the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in court for years in a so-far vain attempt to force the federal government to restore endangered species protection to the Arizona eagles, which includes a restriction on federal activities that might affect areas critical to the eagles’ survival. Jacobson said so far the delisting of the Arizona eagles hasn’t seemed to affect the growth in the population. Both See Bald eagles, page 5B

Game & Fish officials warn – don’t feed the wildlife by

Max Foster

special to the roundup

Although it is against the law (13-2927) in Arizona to feed wildlife, residents living in the urban interface continue to feed deer, elk and other animals mistakenly believing it is a humane act. Certainly, wildlife provide a thrill for many Rim Country residents. For instance, this whitetail doe mother birthed her fawn under an apple tree just five feet from a Pine Creek subdivision. Homeowners watched the birth just yards away. After the fawn was born, the mother produced a twin. Despite the thrill of such encounters with wildlife, Arizona Game and Fish Department officials remind everyone to avoid the temptation to feed wildlife. It is a bad practice that can

Rabbit Fever reported

The Coconino County Public Health Services District, in collaboration with the Arizona Department of Health Services, announced today that two human cases of tularemia (also known as rabbit fever or deer fly fever) were confirmed in Coconino County. The two individuals were likely exposed from insect bites. Both have received treatment and are recovering. In the past decade, there have been eight human cases of tularemia from Navajo, Coconino and Maricopa counties. In Arizona, tularemia activity occurs in areas over 3,000 feet in elevation. Tularemia is a bacterial disease that infects rabbits and other mammals. The disease does not spread from person to person. The primary mode of transmission is through the skinning and cleaning of game animals, usually rabbits. It can also be transmitted through deer fly and tick bites and by eating or drinking contaminated food or water.

lead to nuisance problems, disease and potential dangerous encounters between animals and humans, game officials say. “Animals can become habituated to people and conditioned to receiving food from them increases the chance for human-wildlife conflicts, says Darren Julian, urban wildlife specialist for the AG&F Department’s Mesa Region. Also, deer can carry chronic wasting disease (CWD) and although it has not been found locally, it is spreading in other parts of the country and is a serious threat. CWD spreads easily through saliva, urine, feces and stays active and infectious in the soil for years. Although state game officials continually warn homeowners against feeding wild animals, the

practice continues in rural areas like Pine Creek Canyon subdivisions where residents feed deer and elk even putting out salt licks. The feed not only attracts deer and elk but also coyotes, skunks javelina, foxes and bobcats. All animals, regardless of how “cute” they might be, are best enjoyed from a distance, officials stress. If an animal is considered a public threat, it is usually lethally removed. Which means, those feeding wildlife, like deer, can be responsible for creating a situation that is bad for the animals. The best advice from game officials is to keep wildlife wild by not feeding them or providing easy accesses to food and water around homes.

The upcoming Fire on the Rim races will be preceded at 5 p.m., Friday, Sept. 11 by the traditional “Italian Feast” prepared by Chef Gerardo Moceri of Gerardo’s Firewood Café in Payson. Pine real estate agent Mark Fumusa will assist Gerardo possibly calling upon his years of experience preparing benefit spaghetti feasts for Payson High School wrestling teams. Fire on the Rim dinner tickets may be purchased weekends at the Ponderosa Market and at Al’s Barber Shop on Parkinson Drive in Strawberry. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children 10 years and under. Last year the dinner sold out early so the best advice from organizers is to buy tickets in advance and show up as close to 5 p.m. as possible. Pre-ride the trails

Fire on the Rim race committee member Janet Brandt, fresh off a family vacation up and down the West Coast, says pre-rides for the upcoming race can be held Aug. 22-23 and again on Aug. 29-30. During those two weekends all trail sections including those on private land will be open to riders. Powers grateful

that didn’t put a smile on my face, but genuinely made me laugh when I realized how dumb the government can be at times. It was on a small tag attached to a pillow in our living room. Mom was turning over the pillows on the living room sofa and suddenly I heard her utter some kind of motherly grumble. As near as I can remember it, it went like this: “Doggone government! How am I supposed to turn the cushions if you put on them tags that show when I do it?” I looked at the label after she cut it off with a pair of scissors: The sign? DO NOT REMOVE LABEL UNDER PENALTY OF LAW! I remember frowning and wondering if I was going to hear police sirens coming down the street. I don’t remember how long after that I found out what that

tag was all about. Probably a few years, and I still think it says a lot about the way governments overkill some things. The next sign I can clearly remember was one we secretly made in shop class when I was a sophomore in high school. I don’t know what you’ll think of it, but I can tell you that six of us worked on it for more than five weeks, carefully shielding it from the eyes of authority and working on it until it was a perfect replica of the road signs the state of Connecticut put up. It actually made its way into the New London Day, where it was seriously discussed by a slew of adults, including the editorial staff of the newspaper, while us kids rolled around in sophomoric joy for the three weeks it was the talk of the town. Then the state of Connecticut came along, removed our pride and joy, and ruined

a good thing. It said: DO NOT LEAVE CAR WHILE DRIVING! I tell you, Johnny, it took some sneaky little minds to think that one up. The adults talked about it, and talked about it, and talked about it, debating for weeks about what the hey it meant! And they never managed to trace its origin to the shop at Chapman Tech even though by the time all the arguing was over half the kids in town knew where it had been made. Where did we get the idea? It happened one day in sophomore English while we were discussing how stupid it was to have road signs saying SLOW KIDS AT PLAY. Our comment was: “So? Don’t let them play in the road!” Next week I’ll devote part of the column to military humor. Plan to laugh ...

A variety of visitors to Rim Country The temperature in Christopher Creek was 79 degrees the other day. At the same time Sky Harbor was reporting 117. Some may think it unkind or maybe even cruel to taunt those wretched souls in the Valley, or Casa Grande or Tucson with the local temperature readings. Through social media, that is exactly what we do. We got over to see the colorful camp at the Grey Hackle Lodge over the weekend and discovered that this group of Sun Devil faithful has been coming to the Creek the last 19 years. Although Mitch, the group’s founder, has passed on, his wife and 30 or more make the annual trip to see the Sun Devils scrimmage. They stay for four days with their Sun Devil pop-up tents, flags, banners, barbecues and campfire in the common area at the newly painted lodge. Dave Elston met with me for breakfast on the porch at Creekside last Sunday.

CROSSWORD

Tonto Village residents part of 131st annual rodeo Do you have your boots all shined up and your cowboy the hat dusted off and your shirt village pressed and creased in all the right places? This week is rodeo week in Payson and the town is putting on the World’s Oldest Continuous Rodeo. There are activities all week. The chamber of commerce will have a pro- Janet gram available for all the Snyder events. The chamber building is right at the corner of Main Street and the Beeline. Most of the activities will be at the Payson Event Center right across from the Mazatzal Casino. The Hellsgate Fireflies Auxiliary will have a booth set up to sell Hellsgate T-shirts, caps and “Fireflies Can Cook” cookbooks Friday and Saturday.

CLUES ACROSS

Hellsgate Fire Department

The building of the new fire station is moving right along with the steel girders in place and the wall insulation starting. Noble Construction estimates the whole project will be completed in four to six months. The fire board met last Wednesday evening at the Tonto Village Station and recognized Thorry Smith for five years of service and Nate Blazer for one year of service. Congratulations to our firefighters for their service to the Hellsgate Fire Department. Two more of our firefighters, Bobbi Doss and John Ceja, have been called up to help fight the Northern California forest fires. They, along with two other firefighters from other stations left last week with one of two engines that have been sent to the wildfires. Many prayers go out for all the firefighters who have put their lives on the line to help put out those terrible, destructive fires. Future events

The Hellsgate Fire Department will recognize Fire Prevention Week on Oct. 8 at the fire station in Star Valley with an open house from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. Many demonstrations are being planned, along with offering food and drinks. Keep Oct. 8 open for an evening of fun for the whole family. More details will be in future columns. An event for the fire department auxiliary is the Labor Day Weekend barbecue that has been put on hold for a few years but this year is being resurrected. The event will be from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 5 at the Tonto Village Fire Station. The menu will include pulled pork sandwiches, beans and coleslaw, plus a drink. A bake sale is also being planned. The Fireflies will accept all baked goods at the fire station the morning of the barbecue or you can leave them off at Janet Snyder’s house at 424 W. Johnson Blvd. any time before Saturday. Cookies, brownies, cinnamon buns, pies and crispy treats are especially popular along with canned pickles

or jams. All proceeds collected, including donations, will be used to help finance the new fire station. Tonto Village will be a very busy place on Labor Day weekend. The Modified Motorcycle Camp and Jam will be going on all weekend, the Fireflies Barbecue on Saturday and the Tonto Village Chapel handing out coffee and donuts to everyone from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m., Saturday, Sunday and Monday, Sept. 5, 6 and 7. The Chapel will also be holding a Sunday morning worship service beginning at 9:30 a.m., followed by Bible study at 11 a.m. There is also a Tuesday evening Bible study starting at 5:30 p.m. and all are welcome. The Chapel is also helping out with emergency food boxes from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays for those who need some help. A big thank you to the congregation and to Pastor Mark Pratt for their participation in the Village’s community. Birthdays

On Aug. 25, Jacqui Karrys of Tonto Village II will add another candle to her birthday cake. Jacqui is very involved with the Special Olympics of Payson and she participated in a number of activities including swimming, ice skating, and horseback riding. Happy birthday to you, Jacqui.

Reigning rodeo queens welcome would-be successors by

Teresa McQuerrey

roundup staff reporter

One of the splashier aspects of the 131st World’s Oldest Continuous Rodeo in Payson this week is the pageant crowning of the next Miss Rodeo Arizona and Miss Teen Rodeo Arizona. The reigning Rodeo Arizona royalty, Sammi Miles, Miss Rodeo Arizona 2015, and Brigitte Kennison, Miss Teen Rodeo Arizona 2015, will retain their crowns through the end of the year. This will allow Miles to compete in the Miss Rodeo America pageant at the National Rodeo Finals at the end of the year. The young women seeking the crown at the pageant in Payson over the course of Rodeo Week will be something akin to Miss Rodeo Arizona in Waiting. The pageant’s schedule of events: Friday, Aug. 21, 1 p.m., horsemanship at the Payson Event Center rodeo grounds and 6:15 p.m., doors open for informal modeling and introduction speeches, Tonto Apache Tribal Activity Center (gym across from casino); Saturday, Aug. 22, 10:15 a.m., doors open for fashion show,

Admission to the Friday evening event is $25 per person, includes

Katilyn “Katie” Gheen, 21, resides in Queen Creek, Ariz. She is a full-time student at Chandler Gilbert Community College and working toward a degree in business. Alanna Hamilton, 21, enlisted in the United States Marine Corps directly after high school, where she now proudly serves as a lance

corporal. The Corps took her from California to North Carolina, and landed her at Marine Corps Air Station in Yuma, Ariz., serving as a cryogenic technician. Jessi Muha started her first job in rodeo at the age of 6 working along side Donna Vold-Larson and the Broken Arrow Rodeo Company. Miss Rodeo Arizona 2015 Sammi Miles is an outgoing 20-year-old who resides in beautiful Mesa, Ariz. She grew up in the small town of Mohave Valley, Ariz. In December of 2014 Sammi graduated from Arizona State University with her bachelor’s of science degree in communication and has plans on obtaining her master’s degree after her year of representing the professional sport of rodeo. Miss Teen Rodeo Arizona 2015 Brigitte Kennison is the daughter of Brian and Sylvia Kennison. Born in Arizona and raised in the White Mountains, Brigitte

learned to enjoy her life in the outdoors with her animals. Being a native of the state, Brigitte feels it is a great honor to represent the title of Miss Teen Rodeo Arizona. Her future endeavors include finishing her associate degree in applied science at Northland Pioneer College and begin work as a certified medical assistant. She later plans on attending the University of Arizona and entering its new veterinary program. Brigitte loves representing Arizona, and is looking forward to meeting everyone along her journey as Miss Teen Rodeo Arizona. The trio seeking the Miss Teen Rodeo Arizona 2016 crown are Haley Olsen, Codi Ross and Elizabeth Siegfried. Today’s Roundup includes The Rim Review dedicated to the rodeo.

Bald eagles take flight in Arizona From page 1B bald eagles and golden eagles retain legal protection against hunting and harassment under separate federal laws. Moreover, the federal government continues to contribute the bulk of the money used to maintain a network of about 20 nestwatchers. The $185,000 program posts people near eagle nests during the breeding season to prevent campers, hikers, boaters and others from bothering the eagles, which sometimes abandon nests in the face of too much disturbance. Game and Fish biologists also often climb into eagle nests to band and test the chicks, while the outraged parents wheel and scream overhead. Studies suggest the nestwatching program significantly decreases the mortality rate among the chicks in areas subject to high disturbance levels. Even so, only about 30 percent of the fledglings survive the five or six years it takes to reach sexual maturity. Among the adults who have learned to hunt and make their way in the world, the annual survival rate stands at about 88 percent, said Jacobson. Bald eagles remain a model of parental responsibility. During the months it takes for the chicks to grow large enough to fly, the parents must bring back enough food to sustain not only themselves, but the voracious and fast-growing chicks. Mostly, they stay together for life. “The only exception is that sometimes a pair will move into a sub-optimal habitat and try it for a year or two and continually fail. At that point, we’ve seen pairs break up, but only when there’s some traumatic event.” The entry into the nest of the Woods Canyon Lake bald eagles found some fish hooks and tangles of fishing line, which could endanger the chicks. Biologists urge fishermen to not leave fishing line behind for that reason. Lead poisoning also poses a

population and the unsuspected flexibility the birds have displayed in their foraging habits suggest Rim Country could end up with many more eagles in coming years. Already, some eagles have started scouting up and down Fossil Creek — perhaps seeking nesting areas. A whole chain of lakes along the Mogollon Rim also offer promise as eagle nesting areas. Several eagles also hang out through the winter around Green Valley Park, but biologists suspect these are migratory eagles that return to Canada or Alaska for the breeding season. Jacobson said he’s not sure what factors produced such a great year for eagle breeding in Arizona this year. The state had a nearly-normal winter, a dry, cool spring, and a relatively strong monsoon. A thin snowpack produced only modest runoff into the streams on which the eagles depend in the early spring, but the mild temperatures put less heat stress on the nesting birds. On the other hand, the addition of 11 new nesting territories may stem mostly from the number of birds fledged six or seven years ago and returning to their home territory to breed. “There may be some demographic or environmental type of aspect to it, but when you look at productivity — every three or four years they seem to have a bad year, intermixed with several really good ones. It seems to be part of their cycle,” said Jacobson.

Biologists weighed, banded and did blood tests on two fledgling eagles from the nest in a ponderosa pine overlooking Woods Canyon Lake. A life-mated pair of bald eagles has produced fledglings every year for the past six years. Biologists hope that those young eagles will eventually colonize other Rim lakes. danger to the adult eagles, since they often scavenge the carcasses of deer, elk and other game animals shot by hunters. For that reason, eagle advocates urge hunters not to use lead ammunition in eagle or condor country.

The lead fragments in a carcass could also in theory pose a risk to hunters who eat the meat, since the lead bullets often leave a spray of nearly microscopic lead particles in the meat. The steady growth of the eagle

INSIDE Adoption Options 2C Yard Sales 5C

Season kicks off tonight The football season gets underway tonight for a few Arizona high schools, including Payson. The Longhorns kickoff the year at 7 p.m. at Fort Defiance Window Rock. Although the Fighting Scouts went 7-3 last season, they shouldn’t be much of a challenge for the Longhorns. Window Rock plays an easy schedule. A clear indication of that is the fact that the Scouts won seven g a m e s and still missed the playoffs. None of their victories came against a team that posted a Keith Morris winning record. Their losses came against St. Johns (34-30), Winslow (40-6) and Page (216). It’s a rare meeting between the schools. According to maxpreps.com, the teams haven’t faced each other at least since the 2004 season, which is as far back as their records go. The Division 4 Longhorns take Aug. 28 off when the rest of the schools in the state hit the field for the first time. So they’ll have two weeks to prepare for the home opener against a St. Johns team not led by Mike Morgan for the first time in decades. Morgan stepped down after winning his 300th game last season. Tony Neubauer takes over. The Redskins are a Division 5 team Payson lost to two years ago and beat last season. That kicks off three straight home games for the Longhorns, who entertain Coolidge on Sept. 11 and San Tan Valley Combs on Sept. 18. Playing three of their first four games at home means there’ll be plenty of bus trips in the second half. Payson closes the year with four road games in six weeks. They wrap up the non-section schedule by traveling to face Division 3 Flagstaff on Sept. 25 before kicking off Section 1 action at Lakeside Blue Ridge on Oct. 2. Like St. Johns, the Yellow Jackets also have a new coach as longtime line coach Bob London replaces Jake Belshe, who stepped down after one season at the helm replacing legendary coach Paul Moro, who’s entering his second season as Poston Butte’s head coach.

Defense holds key to Horns’ fortunes by

Keith Morris

roundup sports editor

Keith Morris/Roundup

Senior linebacker Taran Sarnowski (56) and junior defensive end Trey Glasscock (50) team up to tackle a Snowflake ball carrier last season. The veterans are two of the key players returning for the Longhorns this season.

Payson may end up with an explosive offense this year, but the defense remains the big unknown. Last year, the Longhorns averaged a domineering 35 points a game. That should have guaranteed a winning season. Instead, they suffered through a mediocre 5-5 campaign and missed the state playoffs. The problem — a porous defense that surrendered 33 points a game — often at the worst possible moment. Fourth-year head coach Jake Swartwood said some of last year’s defensive woes had to do with the Longhorns installing a new pistol read option offense. “We implemented that new offense last year and we did not spend a whole lot of time on defense the first couple of weeks because we had so much catch up to do on offense,” he said. “I feel like we cut off our nose to spite our face last year trying to make sure we could run the ball well.” He expects better results this season under second-year defensive coordinator Chris Taylor. “This year we’re way more disciplined on the defensive side

of the ball,” he said. “It’s the second year running the defensive system, so I don’t think we’re going to have nearly as many issues. I think they understand what we’re trying to do and buy into what we’re doing.” He’s encouraged about the chances for improvement on both sides of the ball this season. “If we were to play our team from the end of last year, we would beat that team by 50 points,” Swartwood said. “The defense this year is so much more sophisticated. “We’ve had a really vanilla defense over the past years because our kids weren’t able to run what we wanted to run. We were running a base middle school defense and now we’re running a solid high school defense. They’ve got the maturity to allow it. And a lot of it is the kids’ abilities.” Some of the trouble last year stemmed from poor technique. But that will change, insists the coach. “I feel like the game plans were very sound last year and we were in the right position a lot of times, we just didn’t execute,” Swartwood said. “We had a lot of kids last year who were at the position, but not efficient See D key, page 6C

Explosive offense adds new wrinkle this fall by

Keith Morris

roundup sports editor

Pity anyone trying to keep the Longhorns’ football team from putting points on the board this year. First, two 1,000-yard-rushers will suit up: Chaz Davis and Wyatt Chapman. And if that’s not enough, the Longhorns plan to add a new wrinkle to the offense along with the skills of senior Ruben Estrada. Mind you: The Longhorns averaged 35 points a game last year. “We’re going to have a three-headed attack,” said Payson head coach Jake Swartwood. “You’re going to see Ruben, Chaz and Wyatt all carrying the ball. You can’t really key on any one of them. Each can run a 100-yard breakaway for a touchdown, or turn their nose down and get two or three hard yards. I see the offense picking it up a level.” Now mix in a little stealth and deception, to keep the opposing line guessing until the last minute who’s actually got the ball. The Longhorns this year will introduce some wing-T formations to the pistol read option they installed last season. “It makes people really work on their keys and makes them spend twice as much time preparing for us,” Swartwood said. The wing-T should bedevil defenders. In last year’s offense, quarterback Chaz Davis took the shotgun snaps with tailback Wyatt Chapman standing next to him. Defenders had to guess who would run the ball. The Longhorns will get more tricky this year. “It’s a lot of misdirection,” Swartwood said. “With the pistol read option, we’ve got three choices off that offense on each play and those

backs are going in the same positions all the time. And you could just kind of stay in place and it was up to us to make that decision. “With this wing-T, it’s a lot of deception. It’s a lot of people moving and a bunch of motion, a bunch of moving parts. And you have to play very well-disciplined football. And what high school kids struggle with the most is playing disciplined football.” The complex offense should take advantage of Estrada’s athletic ability. Last year, he only ran the ball 18 times, averaging a teamhigh 11.4 yards per carry. But he committed himself to football this year, throwing himself 100 percent into the team’s summer program, something crucial on a team in the same section as Snowflake, Show Low and Lakeside Blue Ridge. “Ruben’s one of the most athletic kids I’ve seen in my life,” Swartwood said. “Ruben, Chaz and Wyatt all need to carry the ball in our offense. I can see all three of them rushing

for 1,500 yards and us rushing for 4,000-plus as a team.” Moreover, the Longhorns’ upgraded running attack will explode off an experienced offensive line. Juniors Korben White and Trey Glasscock return at center and left tackle, respectively. Senior Tito Vega is back at right guard and senior Donovan Cross at left guard. Sophomore Sammy Bland is at right tackle after filling in across an injury-plagued line as needed as a freshman. Senior Taran Sarnowski also started on the offensive line as a junior. “The offensive line is one of our strengths,” Swartwood said. Davis threw for 1,395 yards and 17 TDs as a junior. Estrada offered glimpses of his talent when he led the Longhorns with 20 receptions for 359 yards (18.0 avg.). He should again drive the passing game, along with Chapman, seniors Alex Suarez and Brigham Flake, junior Angel Jacquez and sophomore DiAndre Terry. Suarez and Taran Sarnowski will see action at tight end in some wing-T sets. Swartwood is also excited about the addition of junior kicker Kenneth Ayres. The Longhorns had just one field goal last season. “He was out the other day knocking down 50-yarders like he can do it in his sleep,” Swartwood said. “I’d like to see Kenney attempt at least 10 field goals.”

He said, “Know the area that you are legal to pursue a wild turkey with a bow provided you have purchased an archery turkey tag at hunting.” This means scouting trips to reveal a cost of $25.

Another method is to place a trail camera in a strategic the late summer hunt.

area that does have fresh deer sign. If you are still-hunting from a ground blind or tree stand the morning and evening wind currents are essential to know. That gentle breeze in my face is a key factor, which will also increase my odds of seeing deer up close. I often tie a light string of yarn to a limb close by which will detect the slightest breeze. Human scent is very noticeable to an animal and it will always put a deer on high alert. There are a variety of scent shield packets of body soap, scent-lock clothing, detergents, and sprays that all aid in masking human scent, but the best opportunity of seeing game come with favorable wind currents. With the right breeze direction, an archery shot of less than 20 yards is possible. If you like to see game up close where the game animal has the advantage, I would recommend archery hunting. The late summer season with light clothing can be far more comfortable than the December or January hunt. Every trip to the woods seems to create another story and adds to the learning curve of hunting big game with a string and a stick. The odds are greatly in the deer’s favor, but when it all comes together it could mean venison on the table.

D key for gridders From page 1C at the position. “We had a lot of missed tackles last year. We (coaches) can’t make the tackles. But we’ve upped the physicality of our practice plan to make sure we’re having more opportunities to practice those things. The time that we’ve put into our defense since spring ball, summer to now, is more than we’ve done ever.” Swartwood also plans to limit the number of offensive plays for some defenders to help them play at a peak level. “We’re trying to put several guys out there who are just playing defense so when something goes bad on offense they can come flying out and be like, ‘You know what, we’re fresh, we’re ready to go, we’re ready to pick the team up,’” Swartwood said. “We want to have one defensive lineman, one linebacker and a member of the secondary who only play defense, with hopes that they can be defensive leaders out there and take ownership for that defensive squad. “I think a lot of them last year wanted to take ownership for scoring 50-something points a game like they were part of the offense. And they didn’t affiliate themselves with defensive ownership. I’m hoping that having some kids here that are only defensive players will really start to take us to the next level with our defense.” Of course, that’s easier said

Payson opens season tonight at Window Rock From page 1C After hosting Winslow on Oct. 9, the Longhorns visit a powerful Snowflake team that lost in the Division 4 title game to Mohave Valley River Valley on Oct. 16. The Lobos appear capable of producing another strong squad after head coach Ron Tenney departed to become superintendent of the Heber-Overgaard School District after going 50-13 in five seasons, including 12-2 last season. Payson closes the home schedule against Page on Oct. 23 before closing the regular season at Show Low on Oct. 30. So who’s the team to beat in Division 4? River Valley, who won the championship last year after

losing to Blue Ridge in the title game two years ago? Or maybe it’s Yuma Catholic, who moves up after winning three Division 5 crowns in four years. Or how about Phoenix Northwest Christian, which also moves up a division after going back and forth for the D5 title the last five years with Yuma Catholic. The Crusaders reached the title game three consecutive years, winning two crowns before the Shamrocks claimed the last two. It’s anyone’s guess. Nobody’s talking about Payson statewide. That’s fine with the Longhorns for now. They hope to garner attention with their play.
