Road work underway for university plan Backers insist construction will start in December

Work is underway to widen State Route 260 for several turn lanes leading into the site for a proposed university. While no university partner has been named, those working on the project say signing a partner is imminent. They say construction on an academic building and two dorms should start in December for the anticipated arrival of students after May of 2018. Gary Cordell, Rim Country Educational Foundation president, said crews are right now working on access to the campus site, which sits on 253 acres of land acquired
jointly by the Rim Country Educational Alliance and Foundation from the U.S. Forest Service last year. On the south side of State Route 260, crews have bulldozed several trees to make way for a deceleration lane for eastbound traffic turning into the site. In the center of the highway, they will add a left turn lane for westbound traffic turning into the campus. Most of the work is being done in the Arizona Department of Transportation’s right-of-way. Cordell said the highway is being widened to the south to make way for the additional lanes. The Foundation is paying for the work from the $40 million it
received from the sale of the local hospital to Banner. Cordell would not say how much the highway work will cost, but said the bill is sizable. The Foundation is using JNL Contracting, a local company, to complete the highway work. He said the Foundation hopes to recoup its costs for the work either through the university partner or retailers, since the site calls for commercial development along with education use. In an update on the campus in May, Cordell said while local project planners initially dreamed the academic facility

He’s a rodeo clown for life Sticker shock for Pine water by
Michele Nelson
roundup staff reporter
Two customers came to express their outrage, confusion and shock about the water bills they received from the Pine-Strawberry Water Improvement District at the Aug. 18 board meeting. Bob and Pamela Hougary decried their $1,800 bill. The local couple had purchased a large piece of property, put in an orchard and populated it with livestock, then received the bill after the rate changes went into affect. “The water rates are discriminatory to families and people with large pieces of land,” said Pam. The second complaint about bills came from Ray Pugel, real estate agent and developer. He expressed his anger over a $5,190 bill he said stemmed from an incorrect meter reading for his RV resort. “My wife found out you have been mis-billing us for quite a few months,” he said. “I think all of you would have been surprised by this bill.” Pugel was not protesting the amount of the bill so much as he was angry that PSWID did not call him to alert him about the large adjustment. Nor did PSWID give him the option of a payment plan to pay off the bill. The Hougarys, in comparison, fall under the category of the higher end users of water. Mahir Hazine, treasurer of the board, said PSWID had repeated meetings over a period of months before agreeing on the new rate system that caused the Hougarys’ high bill. “We analyzed the months of July and January,” said Hazine.

Red of nose, baggy of pants, Donnie Landis struck a pose in the midst of the Saturday performance of the World’s Oldest Continuous Rodeo. “My wife told me we were getting old and we need to start writing things down,” he tells the crowd. “The other night we were sitting there watching TV and she said, ‘I would like a bowl of ice cream.’” He pauses for effect. The families in the stands, the cowboys waiting their turn to rope, the announcer in the booth all pause to listen. “I told her I would get it for her. “She said, ‘You better write it down, because I don’t only want a bowl of ice cream, I also want whip cream on it.’” He pauses again, looking quizzically comical, in face paint, a straw hat and suspendered pants loose enough to harbor a family of ferrets. “I said, ‘I can remember you want ice cream with whip cream on it.’ “She said, ‘You better write it down, because I want ice cream with whipped cream on it and a cherry on top.’ “I looked at her and said, ‘I can remember you want ice cream with whipped cream with a cherry on top.’” Everybody’s listening now, except maybe the bull riders, checking their gear, looking through the bars at the killer eyes of the 1,200-pound bulls. Landis continues, looking perfectly serious over the curve of his tennis ball of a scarlet honker. “I was in the kitchen for a while, then I finally brought out the bacon and eggs and set

A Christopher Creek man died Monday after crashing several vehicles in a Payson intersection. Daniel James Roles, 58, was driving a silver Toyota Tacoma westbound on State Route 260 when he suffered an undetermined medical issue and crashed into three vehicles at the intersection of Manzanita Street and East State Route 260, according to the Payson Police Department. Three of the vehicles were just beginning to leave the Manzanita intersection after the light changed green when Roles sideswiped one vehicle and rear ended another vehicle, which caused it to strike a third vehicle. All four vehicles were westbound on State Route 260. Paramedics treated Roles on scene for a medical condition that happened before the accident. Roles later died due to this medical condition at Banner Payson Medical Center. Two other people were transported to the Banner Payson Medical Center for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. Initial medical assessment by the Gila County Medical Examiner indicates Roles’ medical condition was the contributing factor to the accident. Police Chief Don Engler said what that medical condition was is still being determined. At least one lane of westbound 260 was blocked for hours Monday as crews investigated.
As the last day to turn in ballots for the primary election looms, many candidates are making a last-minute push to secure votes. Campaign finance reports, which all candidates are required to file, show some local candidates have a lot more money than their competition, with some spending thousands and others just a few hundred. In an election that has been mostly peaceful and courteous with none of the mud slinging that sometimes occurs in local elections, the candidates appear to be relying on free public forums to get their voice out and not a lot on outside media. For Payson Town Council, Kim Chittick has the most money to spend. She has received the most donations and is the only candidate who held a fundraiser, according to the June 30 report, which covers donations received from Jan. 1 through May 31. Candidates have until Aug. 26 to turn in their pre-primary finance reports covering the June 1 though Aug. 18 period, which the Roundup will publish once they are available. Chittick’s fundraiser netted her $500, bringing her total to $960. Chittick’s most notable contributor is Craig Swartwood, who is running for Payson mayor. He donated $100. He has not donated to any of the other candidates. Of the money collected, Chittick had spent $630, most on a fundraiser and advertising at the Sawmill Theatres. Council candidate Barbara Underwood collected $600 for her campaign. The only contribution she received was from Jack Klausner for $500. She had not spent any of that money at the time of the filing. Payson council candidate Janell Sterner had collected $373, including $100 she donated to herself. She spent a small amount of money on campaign buttons.

ther rode bucking broncos, his mother served as a rodeo secretary and his father did it all -- riding rough stock, bullfighting and performing as a rodeo clown and producing rodeos in California. He was one of the founders of the California Cowboys Pro Rodeo Association. Donnie, who calls himself a rodeo clown, barrel man and entertainer, has been working rodeos since he turned 12. He joined the Pro Rodeo Cowboys Association when he was 18. He’s now 56. And he has no plans to slow down. “Well, there is no retirement, so you gotta stay in it,” he said. “I’ll be working ’till I’m dead.” Good thing he’s enjoying himself. “I happen to love this sport,” he said. “I get to travel all around the 48 states. I get to see things people only get to read about in history books. And I get to be my own boss. I don’t have to really answer to anybody. I work minimal hours a week and I make more than a college graduate.” How much? “I make six digits,” he said. So why can’t you retire when you feel the time is right? “I spend a lot of money,” he said. “Look,” he says tilting his head back and opening his lips, “I need new teeth.” Yes, he’s a natural comedian. Perhaps he’d have been at home on a stage. But the only stage he’s known is covered in dirt. And he’s in the spotlight most every weekend in some part of the country, providing a light-hearted break for fans between broncs throwing riders and cowboys wrestling steers. He’s good at what he does. That’s evident by the laughter he generates. He’s been called to work the prestigious Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas repeatedly. He’s also worked the big rodeos in Salinas, Calif., Houston, Pendleton, Ore., as well as the Calgary Stampede. He’s on his second marriage and lives in Gooding, Idaho. He’s rarely home as he’s spends 11 months a year driving from rodeo to rodeo. None of his seven kids went into rodeo. Injuries are just part of the profession. “I’ve broken my neck, I punctured a lung, I’ve broken several bones,” he said. “It’s a full-contact sport. When they blow that whistle, them bulls don’t understand that whistle.” So it’s the bulls that have injured you? “Them and my wife and my ex-wife,” he grins.

School board balks on transgender Sawmill TheaTreS Federal policy recognizes students’ gender identity rights Michele Nelson
roundup staff reporter
The Payson Unified School District Board on Aug. 22 decided to punt on a suggested policy that would have kept in place practices already followed by the district regarding transgender students and bathrooms. Board members Shirley Dye, Barbara Underwood and Angie Prock all voted against formally adopting a transgender policy, as recommended by the U.S. Department of Justice in accordance with a U.S. Supreme Court decision. Board member Sheila DeSchaaf voted for the policy. “I think the intent of adopting a policy is for protection of the student and to provide guidance or direction for staff and administration,” said DeSchaaf. “My guess is it probably reduces our liability for handling a situation improperly. So, that’s why I feel in favor of adopting a policy that says this is how we’re going to handle transgender individuals.” The Payson board’s action echoed a similar stance taken by the Pine School Board recently. A Roundup story about that meeting implied the Pine board adopted a first reading of that federally recommended policy. In fact, the Pine board tabled the proposed policy without action. In Payson, Dye led the charge against voting for the policy. Superintendent Greg Wyman “suggested that if their sexual identity was not the same as their birth identity that we could just have them go to the teacher’s lounge or something like that,” said Dye. “But the way this is worded, it says, the school may not treat a transgender student differently from the way it treats other students with the same gender identity ... because of the Title 9 regulation, you can’t just have all of those people go to a special place if they decide they want to be — for instance a guy that’s a transgender wants to be a girl, and he wants to, he can go to the same locker room as all of the girls ... I have a problem with that.” Dye said many parents have told her they are upset about this issue. “I just want to say ... I just would like people to know that I am not a bigoted person. OK,” Dye said. “If I had a transgender person I would love them — love them
just like I love a black person, a Mexican person, a gay person — I have these as friends. That’s not my issue. So everybody knows, the problem is that this is so forcing this onto parents who may not feel like I do. I don’t think it is right that the .001 percent can be forced to go against the wishes of the 99.9 percent.” Wyman said the transgender issue has divided people, not only in Payson, but across the nation. The issue has to do with bathroom use. Transgender people have decided they do not relate to the gender of their birth. The former Bruce Jenner is an example. Born a man, he said he always identified as a female. He has now taken hormones and had a sex change operation to become the woman Caitlyn. While he lived as a man, he felt he was a woman. Many adolescents also feel they are not the gender of their birth. They dress and act like the opposite gender. They say being forced to use the restroom based on their birth gender is dangerous and stressful. The Obama administration has asked school districts around the country, with a Dear Colleague Letter, to allow transgender students to use whichever restroom they identify as their gender restroom. The policy would require the district to protect the privacy of transgender students. For instance, if a student had a sex change operation they would not have to reveal their original gender by using a bathroom for a gender they no longer claimed or looked like. The policy would require the district officials to handle the student’s request confidentially. The federal policy recommendation came in the wake of the federal Fourth District Court of Appeals ruling in Virginia that would have given transgender students the right to choose which bathroom they want to use. However, this week Judge Reed O’Connor of the Federal District Court for the Northern District of Texas blocked the administration from enforcing the proposed rules. The judge held that the federal rules encroached on state authority to decide the question. The issue will likely ultimately end up before the U.S. Supreme Court.
Wyman brought this up to the board. “Just for your own knowledge, Arizona and 12 other states, filed suit on this Dear Colleague Letter and the Obama administration’s stance,” he said. Wyman told the board that these suits will probably end up in front of the Supreme Court, but he doesn’t have much hope a decision from the high court will bridge the deep divide. “If we think just because the Supreme Court rules on this that all of a sudden everyone is going to say, ‘Oh, the Supreme Court ruled and everything is hunky dory,’ we’re kidding ourselves,” said Wyman. “We’re going to be dealing with this issue from now until forever. It’s too much of a hot-button issue on both sides, and so we will comply to the best of our ability with whatever decisions come down for us to follow.” Angie Prock said she could see how this issue will bother parents. “From what I’m reading and what I’m hearing, if we were to pass this, if we had an individual, we would be able to offer — let’s say this other restroom. It wouldn’t be a given by the school, if they ... then they would be in whichever bathroom they identify with. I can see other parents being concerned about their children being in that situation,” said Prock. Underwood could see both sides because Wyman had explained to the board that the district currently handles the problem by offering transgender students the option of using a staff bathroom, but she also can see how parents would be upset. “Lets take a step back. Even in a locker room with just all girls some are more modest than others. Some girls are — you know how it is — some girls are more modest than others and I know they provide for that. They do have changing areas or whatever, so if somebody really doesn’t want to change they can. So, I think we address it in more than one way. Gosh, I am like jumping back and forth on this policy,” she said. In the end, Underwood saw it like Dye and Prock. DeSchaaf decided to vote her own way. Wyman made it clear that the district will have to follow whatever the courts decide.

Pine water customers complain about bills From page 1 “Those customers (using 5,000 gallons plus) accounted for 35.6 percent of the water, but only paid for 18.3 percent of base and usage revenue.” He said in January, those high-volume users continued using more water, while paying proportionately less. In other words, the users of less water were subsidizing those using more water, he said. “We got closer to equitable (with the new rates),” said Hazine. As for customer service, Hazine said there have been numerous changes regarding the staff in the PSWID office. Earlier this year, PSWID lost its longtime office manager. The district recently hired a new office manager, Karen Killen. During the Aug. 18 meeting, the board discussed what role Killen could play to resolve customer disputes. The board decided that policy required more conversation. However, the board has discussed the rate structure over the course of many meetings and public hearings. The Hougarys admitted they had not attended those meetings due to a full work schedule. Hazine said the board had financial reasons to change the rates. Currently PSWID has a substantial loan on the books from paying for the water company. “We had over $6 million left on that loan,” said Hazine. “We also have $6 mil-
lion of repairs needed,” he said. The new rates will keep the water district solvent. The original $6 million loan covered the cost of buying the water district from the previous owner, Richard Hardcastle. The district then found the system so run down it required extensive upgrades and repairs. Hardcastle did have a low monthly base rate, but the lack of sufficient water resulted in a building moratorium and summer water hauling charges that doubled and tripled monthly bills. Those problems led to the purchase of the water company from Hardcastle. Hazine said PSWID has the loan structured with a balloon payment on the $6.4 million balance to keep the payments under control. Recently the board refinanced the loan to avoid having to come up with the $6.4 million in one chunk. “It costs us $250,000 in fees to refinance,” said Hazine. “We were able to refinance (and) extend the balloon payment to 2025 ... but who knows what the (interest) rates will be by then.” In addition, the district must come up with another $6 million for upgrades and repairs. “The analysis (on the system) has been done and we have a master report,” he said. “Our budget is $500,000 per year. We had to go in and prioritize. Last year we did one major project.” Hazine said the board has created a capital program focused on necessary
repairs, starting with adding more valves to the main lines so that if a leak occurs, PSWID will not have to shut off a long stretch of pipe. “We can fix it much quicker,” said Hazine, “(now) every time we have a leak, we have just a limited number of valves to isolate the problem. We have to drain a larger area so there is water wasted draining it and then we have to charge it up again and chlorinate it all again ... that’s not an efficient way to do it.” Pugel complained that these repairs could be contributing to his bills. “I have backflow preventers at my house and at my other places of business,” he said. “It spews water because of the particulates in the line from all of the repairs.” He said he has finally drained the line and cleaned out the mud, but he doesn’t know if that affected his usage. “To this date, I have not seen a monthby-month usage,” he said. “I just don’t write you checks for $5,190. I depend on my water bill to know if I have a leak.” Hazine admitted that PSWID could have handled Pugel’s account better. He said Pugel’s resort meter is different from other meters. That confused the meter reader. “His meter is new,” said Hazine. “He was pretty much paying zero to low water (rates). If he was using 3,500 gallons, it was plugged in as 35 gallons.” The treasurer said it was PSWID’s mistake and the district would work with Pugel to correct the situation.

Pine water district awash in problems
• Aug. 27, 1883: The most powerful volcanic eruption in recorded history occurs on Krakatau, a small volcanic island in Indonesia. Heard 3,000 miles away, the explosions threw 5 cubic miles of earth 50 miles into the air, created 120-foot tsunamis and killed 36,000 people. • Aug. 26, 1957: The Soviet Union announces that it has successfully tested an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capable of being fired “into any part of the world.” Following his election in 1960, President John F. Kennedy made missile development and the space program priorities. • Aug. 28, 1968: At the Democratic National Convention, tens of thousands of protesters against the Vietnam War battle thousands of police in the streets of Chicago. Fights also broke out on the convention floor, and delegates and reporters were beaten and knocked to the ground.
The storm clouds have gathered. The water’s on the rise all around. And the Pine Water board needs to find something that floats. The district was rocked in July by the Grand Jury indictment on eight felony counts of former board member and treasurer Mike Greer. Investigators from the Arizona Auditor General’s Office concluded Greer violated laws concerning conflict of interest, theft, fraudulent schemes and forgery. The alleged misdeeds included some shady contracts that resulted in Greer receiving $65,000 from two district vendors. Greer had an undisclosed interest in a company that landed water district contracts. Worse yet, the board agreed to break a single contract into many smaller contracts apparently to avoid the state laws requiring competitive bids for contracts over a certain size. The investigation revealed that the district’s financial safeguards were completely inadequate. Greer not only had district credit cards he abused, he issued checks and presented misleading financial reports to the board. Now, most of the members of the board that failed to oversee or prevent Greer’s apparent abuses later resigned in the face of a possible recall — which mostly focused on other issues entirely. The members of the current board bear little responsibility for any of those problems. But that’s only a good alibi for a little while. The investigation rang alarm bells. Now the current board has to establish adequate financial safeguards to avoid a repeat performance. The failure to do so will soon give the current board full ownership of the problem. It hasn’t helped that upheavals in staffing, a lack of consistent professional management and disruptive changes in water rates have caused new waves of problems to come crashing down on the district. The last meeting showcased some of the eye-popping bills that resulted from the district’s understandable efforts to adopt a water rate structure that will discourage high volume water users. More importantly, the district faces serious financial challenges, thanks to the $6 million it spent buying the district, providing adequate new water sources and making a down payment on essential improvements. The district will have to eventually make a balloon payment on that initial loan. Moreover, the capital plan calls for another $6 million in investments to bring the water system up to standard. To its credit, the district has lifted the building moratorium, secured far more water than anyone expected and scrambled to cope with a host of problems. But the problems revealed by the investigation into Greer, the concern about rising water rates and the lack of necessary financial reforms threatens to overshadow all that good work. The flood of problems has damaged the district — and washed away some of the perhaps unrealistic expectations the district inherited. Now the current board needs to needs to pump up the life raft and get to high ground quickly — starting with adequate financial oversight and professional management.

This is an encouraging example of Natural Resources Defense Council to under- regulatory leadership insisting on fact-based take such an analysis in Nevada, where in decision-making that the public expects. SolarCity recently joined with six New December a thriving rooftop solar industry was shut down virtually overnight by a York utilities and other solar companies by

to propose a data-driven investigation into rooftop solar’s benefits to the local grid. Critically, all parties agreed to maintain net metering policy for a period of three years, so that a thorough investigation can be conducted without upending consumer choice or job-creating industry. I implore the ACC to likewise balance any necessary changes with a gradual, phased-in approach so as not to destabilize consumers, solar businesses or utilities. I believe it is in the interests of all Arizonans, both those with solar and those without, to conduct an impartial study that recognizes the full benefits that distributed solar extends to all ratepayers. It is also in the people’s interest to take on any disruptive changes on a gradual, manageable timeline. Arizona has too much potential as a national and global solar leader to do otherwise. Jon Wellinghoff, the new chief policy officer of SolarCity, is the former chair man of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and former general counsel and consumer advocate at the Nevada Public Utilities Commission.

College will never open
Dark money insanity
Editor: In the past several weeks, there have been quite a few comments on Facebook, and other social media, about the college coming to town. There will never be a college in Payson — at least not during my lifetime. There are several reasons why I make this statement. The first reason is political. Politicians, not all, will make any statement, tell the people what they want to hear as long as it will advance their career. These statements can range from a little fib to an outright lie. Next: Our town is controlled by a very small group of residents who do not want Payson to grow and will do anything to prevent growth. Several members of this group have made this statement in public. This group is known as “The Good Old Boys.” Some of them have been or are on the town council. HPR wanted to expand their operation and provide an additional 100-plus jobs in town. Instead of bending over backward to help them, our town council, with some help from The Good Old Boys, suddenly came up with code and zoning restrictions on airport property HPR wanted to buy or already owned. At last report, HPR is moving its new operations to Texas where, rumors have it, they will receive a free building as well as no, or greatly reduced, taxes for several years. The existing operations will remain here, for now, but there will be no new jobs for Payson. Payson is turning into a retirement community. Families with young children do not want to move here because our school system is substandard and there is nothing for young children to do. About the only career that our high school prepares its graduates for is flipping burgers. They are forced to leave town to further their education. As the young residents leave and the older res-
This is getting crazy. We’ve got to do something about dark money. The Centers for Investigative Journalism reports that dark money groups have spent at least $500,000 to influence the primaries for the state legislature. So far, that doesn’t include spending in District 6, which represents Rim Country and much of northern Arizona. However, expect to see dark money special interest groups dominate races in November. The Arizona Republic reported this week that New York billionaire Robert Mercer has poured at least $200,000 into the Arizona senate primary campaign of Dr. Kelli Ward, who is attempting to unseat Sen. John McCain. Mercer has previously backed both Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. The money apparently contributed to a $400,000 barrage of attack ads that accused McCain of “betraying us on amnesty,” for favoring a comprehensive approach that combined tougher border security with a path to legal status for some 11 million, law-abiding, undocumented immigrants. Moreover, Rep. Paul Gosar — an ultra-conservative congressman who represents northern Gila County — is facing a roughly $280,000 barrage of attack ads from Right Way SuperPAC, a Virginia-based political action committee formed in June, according to another story in the Republic. Gosar is seeking a fourth term in a safe Republican district, but faces a challenge from Ray Strauss, a former Buckeye councilman and minister. The roots and motives of the dark money flooding into the district remain unclear. Strauss has raised only about $100,000 and has just $8,000 cash on hand — compared to Gosar’s $450,000 — with $183,000 cash on hand. Two years ago, the dark money Fund for Growth targeted Gosar. Since then, he has reportedly moved from 65 percent support for the Club for Growth’s agenda to 90 percent. Clearly, special interest groups are staging a financial coup without any need to even reveal where they’re getting their money. This comes courtesy of U.S. Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling and the failure of either Congress or the state legislatures to require meaningful disclosure. Alas, it will get worse between now and November. This is crazy.
idents are dying, Payson is shrinking. The town is constantly crying it has no money. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that the tax base is shrinking, but instead of trying to attract new business the town council, with some help from The Good Old Boys, goes out of its way to discourage growth. I do not want Payson to grow into another Mesa or Tempe, but it must grow to sustain itself. We need more places to shop besides Walmart. Running a town is exactly like running a business. The only difference is that a town does not have to show a profit, though it would be nice. Any business person will tell you that you have to be aggressive and go after new business. The only way to do this is to replace the entire town council, including the mayor, with forward thinking people who understand this concept. The grip of The Good Old Boys must be broken. Until this happens, the downward cycle will continue until Payson is broke and turns into another Jerome. Would I like to be on the town council? I would love to, but The Good Old Boys will see to it that never happens. People like me would stir up the pot too much and ruffle too many feathers. I could leave Payson but the problems would still exist for the remaining residents. Payson may be a sleepy little town, but it’s time to wake up and smell the roses. Bob Graziano
Chicken vs. egg Editor: Recently this paper and our community leaders were discussing what Payson needed first, educated workers or quality jobs. The Payson Area Economic Development Strategic Plan indicated we must attract both. I believe that thinking is a little premature. If we want to attract quality jobs and trained workers, we must first get our Payson house in order.
The first step is building a viable transportation system. History shows that communities that grew and prospered had a good transportation network. We must repair/develop our roads and reduce the congestion on our two major highways. Businesses can only succeed when there is good movement of their commodities. But today, transportation is broader than just roads. We now have business transportation over lines and airways. We must develop redundancy in our phone and electric services to ensure dependability. No business would take a serious look at a location that has only one line coming in for all our communication needs. Our town fathers must also establish a list of educational requirements needed for future local jobs and then develop a scholarship program with our community college. When we begin to train our young thinkers and have the necessary infrastructure in place we will be in a position to compete for the type of businesses that would be the best fit for our community. We need to keep these goals in mind as we select our leaders and then support their efforts to bring these challenges to fruition. Tom Loeffler
Hold your nose and vote Editor: I will have to hold my nose and vote for (Senator John) McCain again this year, even though he was a senator during the entire VA debacle, and wants to give citizenship to the illegals. I used to think he was a great man, he has personally helped me (many years ago), but I think his amnesty views are horrific. As far as the VA is concerned, he gives lip service to the problem, but accomplishes very little. Maybe I won’t vote for this office at all. Bill Keenen

Students hold band camp anyway by
Michele Nelson
roundup staff reporter
This summer, past and current Payson Unified School District students, Molly and Maddie Beier, Josh Shaw, Sabrina Bonn, Colin Nossek, Trace Wallace and Kara VanZile, took it upon themselves to run a band camp before school started. Here’s the kicker — there was no band director hired by the district. In May, Jose Martinez separated from the district. He had only served the school for one year. That left the district scrambling for a band director in a very challenging hiring environment — and the students without a teacher to run and organize the critical band camp during the summer. Enter the seven students. “While this may have been an easy reason for naysayers to complain, we have several students and former students
Michele Nelson/Roundup
Members of the Payson School Board stand proudly behind band students who organized their own summer band camp, despite the lack of a music teacher. who took it upon themselves to create a plan for band camp this year,” said Superintendent Greg Wyman at the Aug. 22 board meeting. Band camp serves as a foundational event for marching bands. “As with many summer
camps, band camp is both challenging and rewarding,” said Wyman. “This is the time when many band students develop their physical stamina while practicing their marching routine, continue refining their playing skills and create a sense of team for the upcoming
marching season.” Wyman and the board recognized the seven students as Heroes of Education. “Together they worked with administration to provide what many of the participating band students said was one of the ‘best’ band camps over the years,” said Wyman. The superintendent noted that organizing, supervising and creating the events that make up band camp required leadership skills most students would rather not use. Wyman took a moment to recognize the Beier family, whose two daughters Molly and Maddie served as the backbone for the camp. “Finally, enough can’t be said about the Beier family. They have been incredibly supportive over the years and continue to give back,” he said. “A huge thanks to Molly and Madelyn Beier who helped to develop this summer’s band camp.”
Dark money groups spend $500,000 by
Evan Wyloge
arizona center for investigative reporting
With just one week until Arizona’s primary election, political spending to affect legislative races paid for by outside groups that don’t disclose the source of the money amounts to almost half a million dollars. None of the campaigns so far affect Legislative District 6, which stretches from the Grand Canyon to just beyond Snowflake and includes Gila County and the White Mountains. Incumbents Sen. Sylvia Allen (R-Snowflake), Rep. Bob Thorpe (R-Flagstaff) and Brenda Barton (R-Payson) face no opposition in the primary. Two years ago, dark money groups spent money in the district in support of all three, including $58,000 to support Allen. None of the District 6 incumbents face primary opposition, but teacher, grower and former Jerome mayor Nikki Bagely will challenge Allen in the general election in November. Former teacher and school superintendent Alex Martinez will challenge Thorpe and Barton in the general election. In the primary so far, dark money
groups have spent at least $478,000 in the past six weeks, ramping up during the past two, once early ballots were mailed to Arizona voters. To see the Arizona Center for Investigative Reporting story and attached spread sheet detailing the contributions go to (http://azcir.org/). A Republican-leaning legislative district representing northwestern Arizona, including Kingman and Lake Havasu City, has attracted the most money — about a quarter of the spending so far. Dark money groups have spent almost $65,000 to help Rep. Sonny Borrelli (R-Lake Havasu City) defeat former Sen. Ron Gould (R-Lake Havasu City) in the race for their district’s senate seat. Dark money groups spent $50,000 in the fight over the district’s two House seats. Another $84,000 has been spent in Legislative District 12, a Republican district in the suburban, southeastern corner of the Phoenix metro area, including parts of Gilbert and Chandler. All of the dark money spent in the district has gone to help one slate. Positive spending
has gone to help Rep. Warren Petersen (R-Gilbert) move from one of the district’s two House seats to the Senate, and to help re-elect veteran legislator Rep. Eddie Farnsworth (R-Gilbert) and to help newcomer Travis Grantham (R-Gilbert) replace Petersen. Negative spending has gone to defeat fellow Republican candidate for the Senate Jimmy Lindblom (R-Gilbert) and Republican House candidate LaCinda Lewis (R-Gilbert). American Federation For Children, Inc. spent the most dark money in Arizona so far, with $213,000 going to help specific Republicans in primary fights. The pro-charter school group spent only $205,000 during the entire 2014 election cycle. Arizona Free Enterprise Club spent roughly $77,000 so far, also entirely to sway Republican primaries. The group ended up spending roughly $248,000 in legislative races during the 2014 cycle, and another $1.2 million in statewide races that year.

Talking REAL ESTATE
By Kimberly Anderson, REALTOR® Advantage Realty
Deciding to Retire to a Tiny Home and Why You'll Love It
Have you seen any of the Tiny House Shows? Like Tiny House Builders, Tiny House Nation, Tiny House - Big Living, etc.? Maybe they know something we don’t. Of course we don’t have tiny homes here, but we do have many smaller homes. Many people romanticize the idea of paying off their home mortgage early so they can enjoy their home in retirement, but when it comes to the later years of life, a big house can actually be too much to handle. If you've started to consider a smaller home and are wondering why it might be a good decision for you here are a few things you may want to consider. It's Much Easier to Maintain - It is often the idea of the palatial estate with a pool that homeowners get excited about, but when it comes to reality, the larger the home, the harder it is going to be to take care of and maintain. If you don't have a housekeeper or landscaper, a smaller home will enable you to spend a lot more of your free time doing things that you love instead of being bound to a house that is full of projects that needs to be completed. Save On The Big Home Bills - One of the worries associated with getting older is having the ability to maintain your lifestyle in old age and a smaller home can actually alleviate many of the high costs that go along with having an oversized home. A smaller home will not only minimize your insurance and taxes, it can also positively impact the amount you pay each month for heating and electricity, so you'll notice the savings right off the bat. The Freedom Of A Downsized Lifestyle - One of the best things about downsizing to a smaller home is the huge sense of responsibility that can be left in the dust. Instead of being held back by all of the stuff required to fill a big house, a small home means there is less to worry about. This may mean you'll have the option to go on longer vacations or can even relocate to a warmer climate for the summer months and you'll only need someone to come by and water the plants every once in a while! There are plenty of people that decide to downsize later in life since it can actually be a great way to save money and have a lot more freedom. If you're considering smaller home options and are curious about what's available in our market, give us a call for assistances.

Payson People by Tiffany Weiss

John and Lorain Roethlein love to take advantage of Payson’s outdoor setting on their bicycle built for two. They also launched the Payson Farmer’s Market. farmers market as that which “operates multiple times per year and is organized for the purpose of facilitating personal connections that create mutual benefits for local farmers, shoppers and communities.” John and Lorian were not planning to start a farmers market in Payson, but the economic downturn in October of 2008 created a one-month gap in business, as their biggest client “put all of their business on hold.” At that point, they didn’t know many people in Payson. They worked out of their home all week, then took off to enjoy the great outdoors on weekends. Within the same time frame, they noticed that the political changing of the guard was creating some negativity, so they asked themselves, “What can we do to interrupt
this conversation? How can we bring some fun and positivity to this?” They vowed to “interrupt the political discord in a positive way.” Voila, the Payson Farmers Market was born. “We knew nothing. And we had no idea that it would be this much work!” They now recall four weeks before the kickoff they didn’t have a single farmer on board. Nonetheless, says Lorian, “We’d committed, and we had to trust.” The couple resorted to driving around looking for people growing just about anything on at least an acre of land. “We’d go and knock on their door.” Asked if they’d do it again, after a slight hesitation, Lorian replies, “Umm ... yeah. Each time we do it over, every year ... it’s new. A percentage [of ven-
dors] come back, and a percentage leave. Kids can learn how it all fits together, and it shows how regular people can go for it and make this place stronger and stronger. You always run into people you know there ... you find out how their kids’ soccer games are going. You can interrupt the day and experience how good everything is here. It’s nutrition, but a ‘twofer’ ... you feed your body and your mind. You connect with people, and your soul will be happy — laughing, playing. You leave feeling good!” If you want to check it out, to connect and leave feeling good, stop by the Sawmill Crossing complex every Saturday morning through Sept. 10 from 8 a.m. to noon.

John and Lorian Roethlein love Payson because of the great connection to the outdoors. “Payson has four perfect seasons, free open spaces to play, absolute beauty that really inspires us. It’s an outdoor mecca ... of hiking, biking and adventuring. It allows us to get to live a totally different lifestyle than anyone we know.” These were the top reasons these Internet-centric recruiters, who could live anywhere, have chosen Rim Country as their home for the past dozen years ... after moving here “temporarily” originally, telling themselves, “This is just a stop.” This couple lived in Tucson for nine years prior, moved briefly to the East Coast, and, in doing so, “found out that we’re West Coast people,” Lorian says. Lorian describes herself as a “Navy brat” while John has moved his whole life. “Every time we traveled, we looked around, and coming back, really noticed that you can do anything here. The freedom!” she exclaims. She and John explored the area nearly every weekend that they have been in town, and say their son rides his motorbike “all over.” After renting their house for a year, they bought it, and never looked back. The Roethleins have always loved farmers markets. Lorian says, “When we traveled, we always visited these. You can get the pulse of a town from farmers markets; a feel for the people.” The Farmers Market Coalition, in part, defines a
The Tax Foundation recently produced a report showing the “Real Value of $100 in Each State.” It shows $100 is not the same everywhere. Arizona’s $100 is actually “worth” $103.73. The value here is a little less than in neighboring New Mexico, where $100 is “worth” $105.26. On the other hand, in California $100 is equivalent to $88.97. The report, written by Alan Cole of the
New York, $86.43. Cole said costs vary widely from state to state: Real purchasing power is 36 percent greater in Mississippi than in the District of Columbia. Generally states with higher incomes have higher price levels; but not always. Some states, like North Dakota, have high incomes without high prices. The Tax Foundation based its “values” on 2014 data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis adjusted for the passage of time.

They looked like the Clampetts from “The Beverly Hillbillies,” but they weren’t headed to California. Instead, the Outdoor Adventure Club at Rim Country Middle School loaded up a school bus for Flagstaff recently for a day of mountain biking. On Aug. 13, around 25 students in the Outdoor Adventure Club rode with Scott Davidson, teacher and Outdoor Adventure Club coordinator, and Mick Wolf, Certified Bicycle owner. It was one of the largest turnouts for a ride and posed a little bit of a transportation predicament with so many bikes.
Davidson said they got some quizzical looks from fellow motorists driving a school van with a trailer full of bikes. “We looked kind of like the Clampetts from ‘Beverly Hillbillies,’” he said. In Flagstaff, the group rode at Fort Tuthill, including the Soldier’s Trail and at the bike park, which features several loops with jumps. They also rode the urban singletrack biking trail that weaves from the park through town. “The kids had a good time and no injuries!” Davidson said. This is the 16th year for the Outdoor Club. Besides biking, the group hikes and skis.
would open with 1,000 students and grow to 6,000. However, backers have scaled back those numbers. They now plan to open with 300-350 students and grow the campus an additional 200 to 300 students every year until reaching an enrollment of 2,500 students. In Phase 1 of the Payson project, the Alliance and Foundation will widen the highway and spend $70 million to construct three buildings comprising the facility — an academic building to hold classes and two dorms, Cordell said in May. Although Phase 1 of the academic buildings will be built to handle up to 1,000 students, the high construction and infrastructure cost in an unproven housing market have limited initial student housing construction to 300 units. In future years, they will add other academic buildings and dorms in the same area. On the east side beyond a large ridge, the Foundation hopes to build a conference center/resort and residential housing. Cordell said they are envisioning condominiums accessed from a future second entrance off Rim Club Parkway. The west side of the property has room for future commercial development. To keep the campus beautiful, planners

expected to start in December and run through May 2018. Asked if the Foundation would go forward with construction even if it has not signed a university partner, Cordell said they would announce a partner soon. He refused to discuss the negotiations further. Work on Highway 260 should be done by October. The MHA Foundation, through the Rim Country Educational Foundation, has provided the bulk of the money to buy the land and do the preliminary testing, engineering and design work. The bulk of that money, in turn, came from the sale of the Payson Regional Medical Center to Banner Health Systems, which merged with the old Mogollon Health Alliance and donated some $40 million to the MHA Foundation. Technically, the Rim Country Educational Alliance is responsible for the university project. That board is appointed by the Payson and Star Valley councils and abides by various laws like the open meeting act and the open records laws. However, most of the money for the project has flowed through the Foundation — which is privately held. The Alliance and the Foundation jointly own the land. The Foundation has paid for all the contracts to do the construction work. The Foundation is not subject to the same open meeting and disclosure laws as the Alliance.
O B I T U A R I E S (1989-2016)
As it is said, “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven,” so there is a time to grieve the loss of our beloved daughter, sister, and friend, Mary Lynn Jones, 27, who now dwells with her Lord and Savior. From the time Mary was born on February 3, 1989, to the time of her passing on August 23, 2016, her family and friends knew that she was a pure reflection of her name meaning “blessing.” From an early age, Mary showed an unusual kindness and gentleness to all people. Her compassion and grace touched everyone that she came into contact with, even in her later life when she consistently battled various health conditions. Even still, through the midst of her trials, she never stopped touching the lives of doctors, patients, friends and most of all, the lives of her family. Mary never ceased to amaze everyone with her love and joy through the most difficult times. When others dismayed, she hoped. When others were angry with the current circumstances, she was
thankful for what GOD had done for her. When others doubted, she held on to the truth. When others grieved, she lifted them up with her big, toothy smile. Until the end of her time on this earth, she had a heart ready to dance and sing and giggle when she was sleepy and believe in happily-ever-afters. Mary was a light to us all. Her simple, but beautiful way of life was none other than the way, I believe, God intended for us all. Mary will be missed by her father and mother, Ernest and Rebecca Jones, along with her sister Cassandra and her brother Christian and her grandmother, Donna McElfresh and by all who knew her and was blessed by her. May you, Sweet Princess, rest in the Shadow of the Almighty. Services will be held on Friday, August 26, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. at Messinger Payson Funeral Home.

want to keep as many trees as possible, including both ponderosa pines and pinyons. Cordell said they are very conscious of the trees and have re-routed roads and building locations in the plans to save as much of the vegetation as possible. Sanja Long, MHA Foundation CEO and Rim Country Education Foundation secretary, said it is disheartening to hear from people that nothing is going on with the university project when they are doing so much. She said the group has been working with ADOT extensively on the design of the roadway expansion, completed a tree study and picked a contractor for the construction of the academic and dorm buildings. On Tuesday, Cordell met with that contractor in the Valley in what he called a “kick off meeting.” The project initially called for building where 2,400 linear feet of power lines currently runs. Initially, the Foundation planned to bury those lines; however, it is cost prohibitive to move those lines so the buildings are being moved to another part of the campus, Cordell said. At some point, as the campus develops, the group would likely bury those power lines. Construction work on the buildings is

This holiday ADOPTION was started in 2004 to help bring attention to OPTIONS the plight of animals and to celebrate adoptions. The mission of this holiday is to remind the nation of the amazing impact dogs have on our lives and promote giving back to charities that are animal related.

It is estimated that approximately 2 million dogs are euthanized every year in shelters across the United States. National Dog Day honors family dogs that provide companionship and working dogs that give selflessly of themselves for personal protection, for law enforcement, for the disabled, for our freedom and safety by detecting bombs and drugs and pulling victims from tragedy and wreckage. In honor of National Dog Day, we are offering a canine adoption special — 50 percent off all canine adoptions on Friday, Aug. 26 and Saturday, Aug. 27. The shelter hours are Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and we are located at 605 W. Wilson Court. Pictured on this page are just a few of our adoptable dogs.

Suddenly, Kim Ashby’s hands slipped from the tree as Karen “Cookie” White quickly reached into the floodwaters, grabbed a handful of hair and brought Kim back to relative safety. This is an event that Cookie blocked from her memory for 43 years. At the very first flood memorial event, back three years ago, an older gentleman from Tonto Estates desperately related the story of emptying his rain gauge three times over that fated weekend. He felt that there may have been more than six inches each time and that some may have splashed out before he emptied them. That would correspond with an extensive study by NOAA which mapped the estimate of unrecorded rainfall amounts for the region. On their map was the innermost concentric ring in a fat, cigar shape extending from above Tonto Hatchery, across the neck of Promontory Point, to Woods Canyon Lake. Inside that ring as estimated to have received in excess of 18 inches of rainfall that weekend. Moris and Beverly Rhodes and their three children were

Along the Tonto just before the confluence with Christopher Creek is the engine, transmission and undercarriage of the Volkswagen minibus swept away at the Horton Creek Bridge. Dave Elston tells of the search and recovery effort on the day following the flood, in which young Dave and his dad
participated. Focusing their eyes on the ground, he happened to look up to find the body of that Volkswagen minivan hanging precariously some 25 feet above the ground in an oak tree. Margaret Kleinschmidt and others from her family will be in attendance. She is the sister of Moris Rhodes. Allan Kelley hopes to attend with his grandfather Tom Magness. Tom is the nephew
of Day and Mina Campbell who were washed away from their cabin on the creek. Seven families representing 18 of the flood victims will be in attendance. Two of the survivors will also be there. Dedication of the 1970 Labor Day Flood Disaster Memorial will be at 10 a.m., Saturday, Sept. 3 in front of the Gila County Historical Society building in Green Valley Park. Family members of flood victims are in charge of the event and would like to extend an invitation to all interested parties in Rim Country to attend. Please bring chairs or blankets to sit on and raincoats in case of a storm. Janis Hall has helped in the locating and notifying victim’s family members. She shared this account: “Upon contacting the Fellars family, the daughter named Nancy kept saying to me that she thought it was a hoax when she heard about it because it had been so long and why would anyone be so nice to remember them in this way.” ... and that’s another week in the Creek. Editor’s note: The Rim Country Museum in Green Valley Park has a vintage photo exhibit on display that includes images from the aftermath of that terrible 1970 flood.

Jerry was a serious supporter of clean water for our little community and worked very hard to alert the residents of dangers that could present themselves in our water system as well as countries overseas.

Penny, you are missed at the dominoes table. You always had a funny anecdote of years past that made us all laugh. Linda Digman, a former Tonto Village I resident and a recent retiree of the Christopher/Kohl’s Fire District administrative department, will spend her birthday in complete retirement just kicking back and enjoying her big day. Jeff Plante will share his birthday with Linda. Jeff is a part-time resident of Bear Flat and Payson and he works at Four Seasons Motor Sports in Rye.

A bit of trivia I remember this one from the early days before television. We had a floor radio with the speakers near floor level and my brothers and I would listen every week for the next episode.

The _________________ knows.” That’s all for this week, I’ll be back next week, rain or shine and even if the creek does rise.

County school superintendent Last week I crossed paths in Walmart with Gila County Schools Superintendent hopeful Roy Sandoval, also a longtime friend. Like retired teachers tend to do, we spent the better part of a half-hour mulling over public education. I left that conversation genuinely impressed with Roy’s vision for the future of education in Gila County. While some political candidates say only what constituents want to hear, Roy speaks openly and honestly about his plans, if elected, to set the direction and tone for county education. His background as a teacher, coach, curriculum director and principal gives him a unique insight into dealing with school board members, parents, district administrators and communities. Often in public education, those who leave the classroom for administrative positions lose perspective on what it takes for teachers to guide students into becoming successful in and out of the classroom. Roy has not lost that — he is a proven instructional leader, an effective communicator and a good listener. Gila Pioneers host dinner dance Just 10 years ago, following my retirement from teaching and during my full-time work at the Payson
Roundup, I was asked to write stores about 11 men, most former standout athletes at Payson High, who had joined forces to do what the now-defunct Cowbelles once did each year. That was to honor Rim Country pioneers at a barbecue dinner, dance and auction. In covering those stores for about seven years, I gained huge respect for the group — Roy Haught, Tony McDaniel, Ronnie McDaniel, Will Davis, Billy Hardt, Albert Hunt, Tim Hughes, Lonnie Cline, Brian Jennings, Duke Wilbanks and Teddy Tomerlin — because without fanfare or much credit they were determined to keep an irreplaceable piece of Rim Country history alive for younger generations to enjoy. This year’s 10th annual celebration will be held at 3 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 24 in the Tonto Apache Gym. Raffle items will include a whole beef and a whole pig cut and wrapped. There will also be gun and pie auctions, quilts and much more, organizers promise. Ronnie McDaniel told me early on the festivities would be, “To honor the pioneers who 60 years ago were the backbone of the Rim Country.” The organizing committee has since its inception had a goal of making the events much like the socials held around the Rim Country decades ago. “Like we used to go to as kids,” Ronnie McDaniel once said. “We all remember those very well — they are some of our best memories.” For 23 years, the former Tonto

CROSSWORD ANSWER
SUDOKU ANSWER
SALOME’S STARS ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The typically tidy Ram or Ewe might want to butt out until things are settled on the home front. But get involved and let your Ovine sense of order help restore domestic tranquility. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The Bovine’s flair for fine-tuning complicated fiscal dealings comes in handy when an unexpected financial problem arises. Stay with it until it’s resolved to your satisfaction. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Family aspects remain strong. There might be some unresolved difficulties, but continued attempts to smooth things over eventually prove to be successful. A major purchase looms. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A promise that was made but never kept suddenly re-emerges in your life. You now have to decide if you’re still interested in what it offers or if you’ve moved past it. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Romance comes to unattached Leos and Leonas who have been waiting for Cupid to target them for far too long. Domestic purr-fection is also enhanced for paired Felines. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You need to take a much-needed break from that demanding project before too much energy-draining tension sets in. And don’t be ashamed to ask for help. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Change makes demands that
you might find unwelcome at this time. But instead of concentrating on the short run, look toward potential benefits down the road. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You have a gift for reviving projects that seem beyond repair. Use that same ability to restore a relationship that seems to have turned from loving to lifeless. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Expect to be asked to use your combined wisdom and humor to resolve a problem. After all, folks not only value your advice, they also like how you give it. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Most people consider you solid and steady. But you also can be quite capricious (which is a Latin word for “describing the behavior of Goats”) when it suits your needs. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) People treat you as you wish to be treated. So if you want a change in your relationship, make it happen. Also expect someone to reveal some long-held secrets. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Stay with the decision you made, despite a sudden torrent of advice to the contrary from well-meaning people. Remember: You know your needs better than anyone. BORN THIS WEEK: You like things tidy, with no loose ends. You also enjoy research and would make an excellent investigative reporter or scientist.

NEW YOU Bulls rule rodeo RIM COUNTRY! TRACTORS

Bullfighter Clifford Maxwell jumps into the fray to protect Wyatt Hester from the bull Milk Man.
No riders able to last eight seconds by

The name Milk Man doesn’t do him justice. The prized Salt River Rodeo Co. bull could just as easily be called Demon Beast, Terror Train or Big Bully. Cowboys who’ve attempted to ride him likely call him other names not fit for a family newspaper. The big black and white beast doesn’t seem to like anyone sitting on his back. And he continued to rid himself of any cowboy attempting to do so in quick fashion during the 132nd edition of the World’s Oldest Continuous Rodeo at Payson Event Center last weekend. He entered the day having thrown 23 consecutive riders. On Saturday afternoon, he pushed his streak to 24. Milk Man threw Buckeye’s Wyatt Hester to the dirt right out of the gate. With Hester in a vulnerable position on the ground directly in front of Milk Man, bullfighter Clifford Maxwell quickly ran to his defense, leaping over Hester right in front of Milk Man’s horns trying to distract the angry bull. The Taylor resident did his job, putting himself in harm’s way to protect the cowboy. The tactic worked and both escaped serious injury. Both he and fellow bullfighter Luke Kraut stayed busy as several riders found themselves on the ground near angry bulls. None of the 12 riders in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association event lasted the required eight seconds on either of their goes to record a score. So the competitors all got their entry fees back. So Milk Man and his buddies Super Hero, Radioactive, Wired Hot, Brush Fire, Bad Habit,

Salt River Rodeo bull Jungle Love jumps over a vulnerable Justin Lane Neill.
Rio’s Jagged Edge, Jungle Love, Cult Leader, Tequila Worm, Dragon, Pot Licker, Silence Reigns, Big Money, Bull Butter, Gotta Go Joe, El Paso City, Western Star and Big Jake ruled the weekend. Some of the other rough stock competitors had more luck. Taylor’s Shon Gibson continued his strong season, winning the bareback riding competition with a score of 77 on Dakota Express and 76.5 on Lady Assassin. He and John Killian were the only riders with two successful goes, while the only other competitor, Rio Lee, turned in one scoring ride. Tyrel Larsen of Inglis, Manitoba, Canada won the saddle bronc riding, which featured just two of the eight competitors entered scoring. The rodeo drew 127 entrants; led by team

Horns try to shake off loss in tonight’s historic game

Look to play role of villain at Queen Creek school by
Keith Morris
roundup sports editor
As difficult as last week’s season-opening 38-8 home field thrashing at the hands of the Safford Bulldogs was for Payson High’s football team, a win at Queen Creek Casteel tonight at 7 o’clock would go a long way toward healing that wound. But it’ll be a big challenge. The Colts have never lost a varsity game. Of course, they’ve only played one. The school only opened a few years ago and only fielded a freshman squad last season. Casteel turned in an impressive performance in the first varsity game in program history, beating Globe 58-0 on the road last week according to MaxPreps.com. Colts head coach Spencer Stowers said you can feel the excitement on the campus of the state of the art school. “Being the first home game is exciting for our community,” said Stowers, who coached three seasons at Westwood before taking over the Casteel program. “There will be pregame festivities and fireworks during the game.” But Stowers doesn’t expect his players to be distracted by the party atmosphere. “The focus of the team is Payson and what goes on between the lines,” he said. The Colts feature a varsity and freshman team this season. The 47-man roster on MaxPreps. com combines all the varsity and freshman team members and features no upperclassmen, just 47 freshmen and sophomores. So there’s not a lot of varsity experience to go around for Stowers. But that didn’t seem to matter against a Globe team that’s struggled for years.

Cameron Ross tries to escape the grasp of a Safford defender during Payson’s 38-8 season-opening loss last week. The Longhorns try to notch their first win in the first varsity home game in the history of Queen Creek Casteel High tonight at 7 o’clock.
Sophomore Mack Johnson led Casteel’s spread/pistol offense against Globe, rushing for 81 yards and three touchdowns on just seven carries (11.6 avg.). He also caught a 35-yard pass. Sophomore Gunnar Cruz completed 9 of 13 passes for 186 yards and two TDs. Freshman Brandt Goodwin caught five passes for 97 yards and a score. Payson and Globe both played in Section 5 of Division 4 before the Tigers were moved down to Division 5 last year. Payson beat Globe four consecutive times from 2011-14, winning 67-35 three years ago and 48-0 in the last meeting two years ago. Improving on their five turnovers against Safford will be key if the Longhorns hope to win.

Payson’s August Rodeo roundup From page 17 roping with 44, tie-down roping with 32 and steer wrestling with 28. The rodeo featured a total payoff of $44,436.80. While the number of contestants was down in some events, that wasn’t the case for the kids, who once again filled up the available slots for both mutton bustin’ and steer wrestling. “We were turning kids away,” said Payson Pro Rodeo boss Bill Armstrong. Armstrong was thankful the rain held off. “We were very lucky,” he said. “It just sprinkled a bit.” The crowds for the Friday night and two Saturday performances, as well as Thursday night’s Women’s Rodeo, were treated to plenty of action. And Donnie Landis was back once again to provide comic relief (see story on Page 1). Armstrong and PPRC president Dan Wile said the rodeo wouldn’t be possible without the efforts of the 120 PPRC members and the 80-100 volunteers. A pair of spurs that weren’t won will be raffled off in a fundraiser. Details have not yet been announced. The Payson Pro Rodeo Committee reported the results in this story. Leon Fountain rides Salt River Rodeo Co.’s Thrill Ride in the saddle bronc competition on Saturday afternoon. The Socorro, N.M. cowboy finished second. Keith Morris/Roundup

Paradise Nails buries foes in sand Paradise Nails dominated in the sand courts in Rumsey Park this year. The team sponsored by that business went 22-2 in the regular season to earn the top seed for the Payson 4 vs. 4 Co-Ed Sand Volleyball Postseason Tournament. Then the team just kept on rolling to the tournament title. After a first-round bye in the five-team double-elimination tournament at Rumsey Park, PN beat No. 4 All-State and reached the championship round with a victory over No. 3 Paradise Nails Too. That team
went on to emerge from the losers bracket with a win over All-State to set up a rematch needing to beat the No. 1 team twice to claim the crown. But PN apparently doesn’t like drama and ended it in one match. Finishing behind PN in the regular season standings was Ram (13-11) in second place, Paradise Nails Too (12-11) in third, All-State (9-15) in fourth and 4 A Good Time (3-21) in fifth. For the tournament, AllState finished third, RAM fourth and 4 A Good Time fifth.
Two share crown in women’s golf Karen Peterson and Claudia Bullard both shot net scores of 38.5 to share first place in the A Flight in the Payson Women’s Golf Association Par 4s Only Tournament at Payson Golf Course on Tuesday, Aug. 16. Stephanie Collins won the B Flight with a 36.5 score, while Debbie Nichols (41) finished second. Jan Burns’ 36 won the C Flight as a trio of ladies battled for second four strokes behind her, with Carolyn Davis
claiming runner-up honors by winning a three-way scorecard playoff. Marilyn Black (24) won the D Flight and Mary Cain (35.5) finished second. Sharon Vaplon was closest to the pin, leave the ball 9 feet, 3 inches from the cup on the fifth hole. Mary Cain was closest to the pin (9-7) on No. 17.
