In addition, Roundup reporter Alexis Bechman won honors as the Reporter of the Year, after writing stories about the rise in heroin use and deaths. She was also the only non-daily journalist to win a coveted award for use of the public records law in investigative reporting. Some 54 newspapers submitted more than 1,600 entries, which were judged by the Nebraska Newspaper Association. In editorial, the paper won awards in 20 out of 29 possible newspaper and individual categories by the paper or its reporters. In advertising, the paper won in 7 out of 12 categories.

Gearing up to help students by
Michele Nelson
roundup staff reporter
Gear Up Coordinator Jackie Wallace celebrated National Gear Up Week with projects, but reserved a special treat for those students in her cohort who have an interest in robotics in the form of a guest appearance by Fredi Lajvardi, robotics coach for the award-winning robotics team at Carl Hayden High School in Phoenix. Lajvardi, a nationally recognized motivational speaker, had a special message for the Payson students: “It doesn’t matter who you are, you are the only one who can decide what you can and can’t do.” THE WEATHER Outlook: Sunny and warm, highs around 90, dropping to lower 80s by Friday.

His message fits perfectly with the mandate of the Gear Up program. Gear Up provides a coordinator to mentor and advocate for a particular class (or cohort) from middle school through graduation from high school. The district had a Gear Up program for the Class of 2014. The class currently under the Gear Up grant will graduate in 2020. The Class of 2014 had a big increase in college scholarships and college attendance rates. The federal government awards Gear Up grants to schools with a significant number of low-income students, hoping to increase the number of students who are prepared to enter and succeed at a college or university. With the lowest number of adult collegiate degrees of any county in the state and a free and reduced lunch rate of 70 percent in Payson — the kids here definitely need help. Lajvardi and his students know a thing or two about struggles. The coach and science teacher said that Carl Hayden, a South Phoenix school, has a student body that is 98 percent Hispanic — many of whom fall under the DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals). Most students (98 percent) qualify for free and reduced lunches. On top of all that, Carl Hayden High School has low test scores. “It’s an inner city school,” said Lajvardi.

Blood moon rising The moon turned blood red on Sept. 27 during its five-hour passage through the Earth’s shadow and photographer DJ Craig caught it in the act — with an obliging friend to serve as a whimsical foreground. The full lunar eclipse lasted for about an hour, visible all over North and South America and most of Europe. The eclipse took place during the Super Moon’s closest approach to Earth, making it appear about 13 percent larger than normal. The scattering of the dimmed, reflected light of the sun off the moon’s cold, gray surface gave it the reddish cast. Sunday’s night sky spectacular represented the fourth blood moon in the past two years. That won’t happen again until 2033.
Payson, Pine, Strawberry, Camp Verde and up to Whispering Pines lost most cellphone and Internet service for 12 hours Monday and Tuesday due to an “accidental cut” in a fiber optic cable causing an outage, according to a Suddenlink technical support representative. The outage lasted from around 1:30 p.m., Monday, Sept. 28, to about 1:30 a.m., Tuesday, Sept. 29, according to Mark Molzen of CenturyLink Corporate Communications. Details of the cut to the cable
remained sketchy Tuesday morning. However, it marks the third time since December much of Rim Country has lost Internet and cellphone service due to a rupture along the fiber optic cable owned by CenturyLink, which leases space on the cable to companies like Verizon and Suddenlink. CenturyLink blamed one of the outages on a squirrel that allegedly chewed through the thick cable during December’s outage. The company said someone deliberately cut or damaged the cable to cause the second outage in February.

Yet Lajvardi discovered just how successful these kids could be when he started a robotics club after school. “I said to myself, ‘Why don’t I do science how I like to do science?’” he said. The energetic, enthusiastic and passionate longtime teacher’s love for teaching and students oozed from every word he spoke. Starting a club that would take a lot of extra time seemed like the perfect fit. The club went great, but Lajvardi sought more of a challenge for the kids. He decided that in order to inspire the club members to learn more, he would enter them in a robotics competition that attracted colleges such as M.I.T. and Stanford. “I told the kids, ‘Let’s go into the university level competition, we’ll lose big and learn lots,’” said Lajvardi, a twinkle in his eye. They entered an underwater robotics competition held at U.C. Santa Barbara in 2004. Lajvardi then described each detail of the competition to the enraptured kids from Payson, from how the teachers and students groaned when they saw the complicated robots produced by the “big boys” to the panicked overnight scramble to plug a leak. Open minds, unhindered creativity and Lajvardi’s inspiration enabled them to overcome every obstacle. The Carl Hayden team took the top prize, beating all the colleges — despite their economic or educational background, frequent lack of family support or tenuous immigration status. Lajvardi said it was because they just had no idea they couldn’t do it. Since that win, those students have gone on to overcome great obstacles to join the military, secure their immigration status and attend college. Subsequent members of the robotics team have gone on to become political advocates, engineers and mathematicians. A life lesson Lajvardi brought to Payson and the Gear Up kids, “If life doesn’t build you a dream, build one,” said Lajvardi. The Gear Up grant hopes to help build dreams for students by working with students to catch them before they give up. The 2015 Gear Up Grant
Besides the projects for Gear Up Week, Wallace has already researched all of her students and understands their academic background through their records. There are approximately 184 kids in the cohort, reported Wallace. Her next step — administering assessment tests to see if her students have any gaps in reading, writing, English, math or science subjects. “Our eighth-grade cohort will be taking

Some of the schools included Arizona State University and Northern Arizona University, Brigham Young University and Georgia State University. Students then had to guess the teacher that had that resumé. the ACT Aspire test right after fall break,” she said. “It is a longitudinal test that will show us if they are on track for college readiness as well as to help with our Response to Intervention (efforts).” Wallace has also instituted the mandatory homework program called MASH started under former Gear Up coordinator Kristi Ford. In addition to the testing and homework program, Wallace said the Gear Up grant will cover things like tutors, intersessions and summer school, supplies and field trips. “Also, there will be other costs, such as professional development for myself and some district staff members,” she said. Generally, Gear Up simply covers the needs of the cohort it supports, but during the Gear Up Week celebration, Wallace created activities that involved the whole school. “We want to change the culture of the
From page 1A they haven’t supported requiring APS to reveal how much it spent on campaigns — which several legal authorities say the Corporation Commission has the authority to do. In the meantime, several independent groups have filed conflict of interest charges against both Smith and Burns, who have worked as lobbyists for groups the commission regulates. Voters have generally been critical of the Corporation Commission’s entanglements with the utilities and corporations it’s supposed to regulate, according to recent polls. For instance, MBQF consulting group in September conducted a poll that found 86 percent of voters favor removing Bitter-Smith from office if she did in fact moonlight as a lobbyist for groups regulated by the commission. Some 86 percent of those surveyed said they were aware of the allegations.
Both Bitter Smith and Burns urged APS to stay out of the next election. APS has neither confirmed nor denied that it was behind $3.2 million in expenditures by an independent committee during the last election. The U.S. Supreme Court ruling in the Citizens United case allowed corporations and special interest groups to spend as much money as they like without revealing the source of that money so long as they don’t directly coordinate their efforts with the candidates they support. Forese and Little both opposed the effort to keep APS out of the next election and any suggestion the corporation could require the regulated public utility to disclose what it spent on campaigning. The Corporation Commission regulates the profits APS reaps from its state-granted monopoly to provide power to Rim Country and other areas throughout the state. APS deducts business expenses and capital spending from its reve-

nue when seeking rate increases that guarantee a certain rate of return. Burns and Bitter Smith have both said they would consider issuing a subpoena to force APS to disclose its political spending. Forese and Little have both opposed that idea, saying it would infringe on the corporation’s free speech rights. The issue became more complicated when Phoenix attorney Tom Ryan filed a complaint with the Arizona Attorney General’s Office saying that Bitter Smith should be thrown off the commission because she worked as a lobbyist for the telecommunications industry, including Technical Solutions. The complaint said that as a lobbyist she also helped APS move a substation for a Scottsdale golf course. She has denied any wrongdoing. She said in a statement that the allegations were part of a campaign by “dark money” groups seeking to discredit the Corporation Commission.

The secret to being the Best Newspaper by
Peter Aleshire
roundup editor
The man who deserved the award didn’t get his name on the plaque. The Roundup won Newspaper of the Year among non-dailies Saturday night. We also brought home a slew of other trophies, the result of a team effort that makes me feel gobsmacked lucky to have stumbled into such a wonderful place. But really, the Newspaper of the Year award belongs to John Naughton, the best publisher I’ve ever worked for because he’s the best man I’ve ever known. John survived the siege of Khe Sanh in Vietnam when he served in the Marine Corps. He caught a load of shrapnel and earned a Purple Heart sprinting for a helicopter, near the end of the monthslong siege that transfixed the nation. He spent his life after the war in newspapers, rising through the ranks. He’s a devoted, dedicated, deeply decent man. I’ve never seen him complain. Never seen him treat anyone badly. Never seen him violate his own principles. I’ve seen him provoked. Heck, I’ve provoked the hell out of him. But I’ve never seen him break — never seen him retaliate. And I’ll admit, I’d love him if all he did was adhere to the high moral standards on which the survival of newspapers depend and serve the readers without stint or hesitation. Those very qualities made it possible for the Roundup to come home with a box full of awards. But that’s not his most important contribution to making the Roundup the best place I’ve worked in 40 years in the business. He does that by setting the standard for how we treat each other, which always flows down from the top. If you try hard enough, you can create a little corner of decency in an organization run by other kinds of bosses — but it’s a sand castle that will eventually get washed away. John has devoted his life to newspapers and to their readers and to journalism — and now he’s guiding the Roundup through the tumult and transition of the Internet Age — all with grace and humor. He’s also going with his beloved wife, Patty, through the hardest of all transitions — a battle that makes the siege of Khe Sanh look like nothing much worth mentioning. I couldn’t do it — certainly not with his grace and love and courage. So the award belongs to him, we just helped bring it home to him where it belongs. Of course, I could go on for pages about the rest of the Roundup crew. I could talk about the how Alexis laughs and jokes and paints her toenails — and becomes fierce when some poor fool tries to deny her information. I could talk about how Michele worries about the teachers and the kids and every fact in her stories — driving herself half crazy trying to tell the truth, without hurting anyone. I could talk about how Teresa keeps the place running, keeping track of everything, putting out
the Rim Review on Saturday mornings after a long week, remembering the history of everything. I could talk about how Keith spends hours trying to dig out the missing statistics and agonizes over the photo selection, determined to get the pictures of as many kids in the paper as possible. I could talk about how Sherrie juggles the thousand details of producing the Roundup and all its publications — and how she never misses a deadline, by taking work home without even mentioning it to anyone. But no matter how much she has to do — she’ll also take care of the people who depend on her. I could talk about how Melinda gets everything done, without fuss or feathers and how you have to always be ready for her utterly honest, utterly true, wickedly funny observations. She can make fonts perform magic tricks and has prevented more mistakes from getting in the paper than anyone in Roundup history. I could talk about Pia’s creativity and idealism, her endless eagerness to help and learn new things, her quest for true meaning. I could talk about how Dave keeps track of every photograph, helps out on the press, and has forgotten twice as much about Payson as I’ll ever know. He’s got a knack for spreading compliments with such sincerity that every day he’s in the building you feel like you’ve won an award. I could talk about how Bob makes the press dance and sing, endlessly adjusting the rollers and gears on the 60-year-old beast. I could talk about how Donnie rushes back and forth as the massive rolls of paper spin, making the smallest adjustments and fretting about the registration. And then I’d still need room to explain the life-affirming quality of Paula’s laugh, Jay’s latenight, meticulous dedication, Patty’s devotion to news racks and news tips, Julie’s unfailing good humor and John’s affable insight and Jeff’s unflappable geniality. And did I mention the inserters, who bring food to the break room and work with chatty good humor amid the stacks of newsprint? They all earned the award as well. I’ve never worked at a place where every single person does their job like Don Quixote chasing down windmills, without need of nagging or stern performance reviews. Everyone pitches in — whether it’s a special section or counting Best of Payson ballots or covering for someone tending to their wife or mother or sick kid. They all devote themselves to the Roundup — to each other — to our readers, without making a fuss about it. And that all comes back to John Naughton, who inspires us with his decency and his courage. With any luck, he won’t check the editorial page before we print and I’ll get away with this before he can kill it. I know he’ll be provoked, but I can live with that. So congratulations, Roundupteers. I love you all. And congratulations, John. You’re the best of men and the best of publishers. So, naturally, your paper’s the best.

University benefits Editor: I’ve read a number of letters expressing opposition to a university in Payson. Let’s consider the facts about the likely economic impact to Payson. For example, consider Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Mass. with about 2,000 students and 920 total employees. While not a perfect representation of the economic impact of a university on a small town, it shows what a university can bring to Payson. Bowdoin pays $47 million in salaries to local residents. It pays $22,000 in property taxes, $26,000 in fees and $165,000 in sales tax. Bowdoin purchases approximately $3.2 million per year in local goods and services. Students spend about $1.8 million a year in the local area, not including rent or housing. The woes cited by multiple writers: Undermanned police and fire, out of date roads and infrastructure, and overburdened school system can be rectified with intelligent spending of additional revenue. And the university will grow at a pace that ensures infrastructure and services can keep up with demand. Finally, there are about 300 Bowdoin students that tutor or mentor children at local schools. Just think what an asset that could be to our children here! There will be challenges. We will have to balance spending with revenue and make well-informed decisions to adjust infrastructure and services to meet demand. So the work isn’t done yet. But thanks to all with the foresight and determination to make a university happen, despite many hurdles and challenges. Jim Hunt Editor’s note: The Roundup’s online poll indicates that 75 percent of those responding favored building a university in Payson and about 23 percent opposed the idea. At this writing, 287 people had responded to the poll question.

Grateful for praise of first responders Editor: On Saturday, Sept. 19, Mount Cross Church, Jerry Carlson, members of the community and many businesses joined together to recognize and show their appreciation to Rim Country first responders. The Payson Police Department and I would like to share our appreciation to all of those involved in this recognition event. The event was an overwhelming show of support for the first responders in the Rim Country and it is greatly appreciated. Not only were first responders recognized but their families, as well as retired first responder personnel were also recognized. Many kind words were spoken by Mayor Evans, Council member Sue Connell and many community members. Those kind words were greatly cherished and appreciated. It is the belief of the Payson Police Department that it is an honor to serve such a giving and appreciative community. Thank you very much for your kind words and your support as community members to the local first responders. Don Engler, Payson Police Chief

Bitter school funding debate swirls
Inflation adjustment, state trust lands provoke divisions by
Pete Aleshire
roundup editor
The high-stakes issue of school funding continues to roil state officials, thanks to a $1.3 billion court judgment, contending reform plans and bitter feuds involving top state officials. The issue has gained traction as a result of court orders saying the Arizona Legislature illegally withheld $336 million annually in voter-ordered inflation adjustments. The shortfall could total as much as $1.3 billion. Moreover, repeated national studies show that Arizona is about 49th in per-student funding, having made the deepest cuts in the nation in K-12 spending during the recession. Efforts to agree on a court-mediated settlement of that lawsuit recently broke down, sending the lawsuit back to court as a coalition of school districts tries to make the state comply with the earlier court orders. The state could call a special legislative session in January to try to find a solution. High stakes for Payson schools
Payson schools would likely get more than $800,000 if the state paid the $336 million in withheld inflation adjustments for a single year — or about $3.2 million if the state paid the full $1.3 billion in withheld inflation adjustments. Cuts in recent years in Payson have significantly increased class sizes and forced the district to sustain most extracurricular programs with parent donations. Republican state legislative leaders have floated a plan to essentially repeal the inflation-funding requirement approved by the voters in 2000. Proposition 301 imposed a roughly half-cent increase in the sales tax and required lawmakers to give K-12 schools an inflation adjustment of at least 2 percent. Lawmakers oppose inflation boost
Republican legislative leaders support a proposal to put on the ballot a new measure that would apply a maximum 1.6 percent inflation adjustment to about $175 million in state aid rather than the roughly $3.7 billion the state provides in basic aid to K-12 schools. Even then, the state could suspend the inflation payments during recessions or economic downturns. The .6 of a cent boost in the sales tax approved by voters in 2000 generates about $623 million annually. The tax will expire in 2021, but the inflation adjustment requirement will remain. During the recession, voters approved an
additional 1 cent increase in the sales tax, which lawmakers who put the measure on the ballot said would generate $1 billion for schools. However, the Legislature diverted much of that money to other uses and continued to cut per-student funding support for both the universities and for K-12 schools. The 1 cent increase expired and the state built up its rainy day fund in anticipation of the loss of $1 billion in revenue. Lawmakers gave priority to protecting corporate and other tax cuts during the recession, saying low taxes would attract new businesses to the state and ultimately boost the economy — and tax collections. Meanwhile, Gov. Doug Ducey, Superin tendent of Public Instruction Diane Douglas and legislative leaders have all proposed ways to boost education spending — separate from any settlement of the inflation adjustment lawsuit. Those plans have provoked sometimes-bitter debate embroiling top state leaders. Governor’s funding proposal
Gov. Ducey’s proposal would temporarily increase the amount of money going to K-12 schools from the $5.2 billion state lands fund. The plan would increase the distribution from 2.5 percent at present to 10 percent for five years and then 5 percent for another five years. Ducey maintains this would produce an extra $300 million annually — or roughly $300 per student on top of the $3,400 per student the state now provides. Ducey’s projections assume a nearly 7 percent annual rate of return on the money invested in the state lands fund. Those projections suggest that at the end of 10 years the state land fund would grow to $5.4 billion, even with the extra diversions. Without the extra diversions, the fund would grow to $7.5 billion, based on Ducey’s projected rate of return. Arizona Treasurer Jeff DeWit opposes Ducey’s plan, saying it would mean less money for schools in the long run. He challenged Ducey’s projected rates of return and said it would merely postpone and deepen the crisis, since the schools would face an even deeper budget hole when the extra diversions from the land fund expire. The value of the state land trust tumbled in August as the stock market dropped. The fund had a value of $5.2 billion when Ducey announced his plan in June, but now stands at about $5 billion, according to DeWit’s office. The disagreement between DeWit and Ducey has spurred assorted digs and putdowns on both sides in recent months.
Superintendent’s funding plan
Meanwhile, Superintendent of Public Instruction Diane Douglas has also weighed in with an appeal to the Legislature to use the state surplus and rainy day fund to immediately boost K-12 funding by $400 million, with a similar amount added each year for the next several years — with money coming from the state lands trust and other sources. Her plan would go into effect immediately. Ducey’s plan would not affect funding for about two years, which is how long it would take to win voter approval of two separate ballot measures. Douglas and Ducey have been embroiled in a series of disagreements about who controls the staff for the state department of education. Douglas also now faces a possible recall movement. Legislative leaders’ plan
Finally, state legislative leaders have proposed an education reform plan of their own, which would increase education funding by $500 million annually. This plan would also divert extra money from the state land trust, but add to it money now going to First Things First, a voter-approved program that provides money statewide for early childhood education. Lawmakers have repeatedly tried to undo the ballot measure that gave First Things First a share of an increased tobacco tax, but voters have rejected those efforts. In the meantime, Arizona spends about 47 percent less than the national, per-student average, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. New York spends the most at $19,818. Utah spends the least at $6,555. The national average in 2013 stood at $10,700 while Arizona spends $7,203.

In 2013, she cut her own salary in half, gave small raises to the staff and still reduced the payroll costs. She turned the organization into a self-sustaining nonprofit organization. On Nov. 5, 2014, an apartment complex for low-income, disabled and seniors had a fire disaster. A total of 73 residents had nowhere to go, no food, clothing or medications. Conlin coordinated efforts with the Salvation

She also arranged for the Humane Society of Central Arizona to board the residents’ pets for free. She volunteered her time, love and comforting spirit to these very frightened individuals. For these reasons and many more, the director and staff of Gila County Community Services and Community Action Program honored Conlin with the Gila County Heart in Hand Award.

There is a place you can go to burn 350 to 550 calories that is not a gym. It is a place where exciting things are often found in plain boxes or bags and you get first pick. You will greet people and stimulate community values when you volunteer at this special place. Bet you’ve guessed by now that this marvelous place is the Almost New Thrift Shop. “It’s like Christmas every day here,” said thrift manager Jan Chilton. When Chilton referenced Christmas she was talking about the fun of seeing new donations, however, volunteers in the normal course of a four-hour shift are reaping the benefits of movement. Activities such as light lifting, walking, bending, and putting items on display increase muscle strength and heart health. “I like to do, so this job is a good fit,” volunteer Judy Bushroe said. Interaction with people invigorates your brain cells. Through assisting the many repeat Almost New shoppers regular volunteers have an opportunity to remember names and perhaps make a new friend. Acquaintances are easy to make too, especially on Saturday morning when Valley folks scouring for antiques turn up. Customers all come in search of a deal — from people in need and those who want something specific, to people who just like to window shop through the furniture, clothes, appliances, books, toys, dishes, and other
loot. “We work with people to try to help them as much as we can,” Chilton said. The most interesting box Bushroe recalled seemed to hold the treasures of an unsorted “junque” drawer. “It had antique watches, old postcards, thimbles, rings, and a stack of handkerchiefs,” she said. Volunteers by nature use their talents to help others achieve a sense of purpose. “Each volunteer has an area of expertise and we use those skills to our advantage,” Chilton said. Have a gift for arranging a display? Prefer to work with dollars and cents? Love to help customers find just the right items? Almost New has a place for you. The money earned by the Almost New Shop seeds health career scholarships for graduating seniors and college students as well as continuing education courses for adults. Anyone who has learned how to perform CPR at one of the free classes sponsored by MHA Foundation and taught by local EMTs or firefighters has benefited from Almost New dollars. Funds also help meet the equipment and training needs of local fire department personnel. “Chances are you are going to need a doctor or a nurse or an EMT one day and maybe the person who helps you will be someone we gave a scholarship,” Chilton said. The benefits of volunteering at the Almost New Shop are many, but if you need one more, lunch is on us when you work a four-hour or more shift. Currently, volunteers are most needed in the afternoons. If you’re bored and want a little excitement call 928-4685515 and get all the volunteering details from Jan.
James Mittelberger, m.d. According to a national survey by the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, more than 90 percent of people think it’s important to talk about their loved ones’ and their own wishes for end-of-life care, but fewer than 30 percent of people have actually had the conversation. Many people simply haven’t gotten around to taking the necessary steps to crystallize what they want and to formalize it. Sometimes it’s because people don’t know how to start the conversation with their loved ones. As a physician, I have seen how advance care planning conversations and completing advance directives change the experience for a patient and their loved ones. It may feel a bit uncomfortable to get started, but rewarding conversations with family members today can assure medical care preferences are honored while reducing stress and uncertainty in the future. A great way to start is by thinking about what is most important to you if you were facing a life-threatening or serious illness and could not convey your wishes. Start reflecting on what you and your loved ones would want, express those desires, and have a thoughtful conversation. After all, no one wants to be guessing about what a loved one would want should a difficult decision need to be made. Here are some simple steps to begin the conversation and planning for important endof-life health care decisions: • Start with your loved ones. Honest communication can help families avoid the stress of guessing what a family member would want. You may find that you and your loved ones may see some things differently. That’s OK. It is most important that your loved ones know how you want to be treated and are willing to respect your wishes. Decide who you prefer to make decisions on your behalf in case you are unable to express your choice. • Think about what is most important to you. What are your greatest fears, hopes and goals? What do you most care about? Most by

Guest commentary
Getting seniors’ pain prescription right James Appleby September is national Pain Awareness Month. One of the major issues policymakers, health care providers, and average citizens alike need to focus on is how to improve pain management among older Americans. Unsurprisingly, this population experiences more pain than younger Americans. Among active seniors, it’s estimated that 25-50 percent experience persistent pain. For these Americans, finding ways to manage pain without reducing quality of life is essential. Among seniors residing in nursing homes or receiving in-home hospice care, as many as 85 percent experience persistent pain. Plus, older Americans account for an outsized share of American drug consumption. People 65 years and older make up just 13 percent of the U.S. population, yet they’re responsible for a full third of all pharmaceutical purchases. And seniors rely heavily on opioid-based treatments, which are extremely powerful, but come with elevated risks of addiction and abuse. Since 2007, the number of opioid prescriptions for patients aged 60 years or older has jumped by nearly a third. That’s double the rate of growth for middle-aged patients during that same period. Of course, responsible prescription drug use — opioid-based based or otherwise — can be transformative for patients, alleviating chronic pain, speeding up post-operative recovery, boosting emotional well-being and enhancing cognition. However, opioid drugs can also cause huge, potentially fatal, problems for seniors. Elderly patients tend to be taking other drugs that can interact with opioids and cause adverse side effects. Their physical frailty exacerbates these problems. And opioid overuse can slow post-surgery recovery and speed up cognitive function decline. Abuse also puts senior patients at much higher risk of falls, which can cause serious bone fractures and shorten life. In fact, a 2010 paper in the Archives of Internal Medicine found that Medicare patients using opioids were four times more likely to suffer a fracture by

than enrollees using non-opioid treatments. These risks are a big reason that the Joint Commission, a national nonprofit that certifies health care organizations, specifically warns that opioids may not be appropriate for all patients. The Interagency Pain Research Coordinating Committee, which is run by the federal Department of Health and Human Services, recently published a comprehensive strategy for improving pain management that includes specific steps for helping seniors. Policymakers should heed its recommendations. Avoiding addiction and overdose requires careful care management and regular dialogue between doctors and their senior patients. Caregivers need to adopt treatment protocols that can help prevent addiction, such as using drugs with the fewest adverse effects first. Providing non-opioid pain medication before and after surgery can also help. Likewise, caregivers should embrace proven non-opioid pain management alternatives, such as intravenous acetaminophen and over-the-counter painkillers like ibuprofen. These medications can be just as effective at reducing patient suffering without running the high risks of addiction. And even non-pharmaceutical pain management techniques such as yoga, stretching, massage, or acupuncture can help relieve senior suffering. All courses of treatment should begin with an honest and open conversation between patients and their caregivers about how pain affects them, how they are prepared to deal with pain, and how their ideas can be woven into treatment. This month represents the perfect opportunity for health care providers to improve senior pain management.

‘Ugly watches’ may ease caregiver stress The Gila County Sheriff’s Office is handing out waterproof Project Life Saver (PLS) devices that GCSO Sgt. Dennis Newman describes as “ugly watches.” The devices do look like a watch in that they are a band worn around the wrist, however the bubble-like enclosure of the face houses a transmitter that emits a low frequency tracking signal. People with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, autism or Down’s syndrome occasionally wander from their caregivers and the PLS enables the GCSO to manage a search from them in minutes versus the hours and days it might take if the individual did not have the device. “GPS is fine in big cities, but this World War II technology works well in our mountainous terrain,” Newman said.
Caregivers in the area may obtain a PLS bracelet for their loved one at no charge by contacting Newman at 928-474-2208. It is a simple process to make the contract and provide information about the PLS wearer’s likes and routine. “If they do turn up missing, knowing where they might have gone helps us manage the search,” Newman said. The caregiver is responsible to check the transmitter daily because it runs on batteries. Newman or someone from Tonto Rim Search and Rescue, which provides the financial resources that make PLS possible in the Rim Country, checks the batteries every 30 or 60 days. The GCSO and TRSAR have found the PLS effective in finding lost individuals provided with the equipment.

The French government requires school children to have a minimum of 30 minutes at the table and allows for a sliding scale in prices to help less advantaged families.

Payson schools may borrow money to save money by
Michele Nelson
roundup staff reporter
It doesn’t make much sense to borrow money to save money, but that is what Payson Unified School District just might do. The board heard a presentation on energy savings contracts from Superintendent Greg Wyman on Sept. 14. These contracts allow districts to borrow money to install energy-saving equipment and fixtures. With the savings from installing energy-saving devices, the district pays back the lease.
Sounds pretty cool, but Wyman said the program comes with some strict guidelines. “There will be some conditions put in place,” he said. “They say, ‘If you go ahead and do these things ... we’re expecting you to run your plant from this time to this time and at this temperature.’ If all of a sudden we change our thermostats, obviously they will not stand by what they had guaranteed (for savings).” The way energy savings contracts work, said Wyman, a company special-
izing in these contracts comes to PUSD, walks around and decides whether the district would save money if they redo their water system or should it instead replace propane heating units? How about more efficient light bulbs or new HVAC systems? “They say, ‘Based on what you have in your district, we believe these are the things we can do that will guarantee savings,’” said Wyman. “They will come up with more projects than you can afford.” He said at his former district, Tempe Union High School, the contractors came
up with $130 million in projects. Wyman said the district could only afford $12 million. Wyman said he’s looking at this solution because the capital funding bucket from the state has run dry. “We are not getting any funding for capital improvements,” he said. Yet roofs still leak and equipment fails. Wyman said the district has already done a similar program with the solar energy. When PUSD installed the solar pan-
els, a financing company paid for the installation and equipment. PUSD promised to continue paying the same amount it had for the electricity even if the solar energy cost less. The district has a 25- to 30-year lease on the equipment and will continue to pay during that time. Once it’s paid off, the district owns the equipment and can pay less in energy bills because the solar generates energy. “The solar piece has been very successful for us,” he said.

Pipeline progress: Contractors continue to install a new, main Payson water line along Highway 87 in front of the Maverik Gas Station as part of the effort to get the town ready for the arrival of water from the C.C. Cragin Reservoir in 2017 or 2018. The project requires the town to connect the separate water zones, each with its own network of groundwater wells and storage tanks. The line along the highway will carry treated water from the C.C. Cragin Reservoir and connect separate well fields. During the nine months a year 3,000 acre-feet flows through the pipeline, the town will rely entirely on Cragin water. This will allow the depleted water table to recover. Town officials say the water table will eventually rise to pre-settlement levels, after having fallen more than 100 feet.
Dominant pollen: Ragweed, Elm, Grasses High: Pollen levels between 9.7 and 12.0 tend to affect most individuals who suffer from the pollen types of the season. Symptoms may become more severe during days with high pollen levels. Medium: Pollen levels between 7.3 and 9.6 will likely cause symptoms for many individuals who suffer from allergies to the predominant pollen types of the season. Pollen levels between 0 and 7.2 tend to affect very few individuals among the Low: allergy-suffering public. Source: pollen.com
This time the official explanation blames an “accidental cut” in the line, with no details available at press time on Tuesday. Mayor Kenny Evans said the town is in negotiations with gov.net to create a backup system and more bandwidth. Rim Country residents scrambled to cope with the outage, which prompted some businesses to close because they couldn’t operate their credit card verification systems or security systems connected to the Internet. On the Roundup Facebook page this morning, residents reported a variety of problems. One man who works at home said he had to drive to the top of Mt. Ord to get a cellphone signal to report to his company that he couldn’t connect. Other residents found a spot on top of Airport Road where they could still get a signal from a distant Verizon cellphone tower not affected by the outage. However, given the repeated interruptions, other residents took the loss of cell service and the Internet in stride. On the police radio frequency, one Payson police officer got confirmation from dispatch that most phones and computers weren’t working. “We’ve just got voice communications,” said the dispatcher. “Just like the old days,” said the officer. For the Verizon store in the Swiss Village, the outage meant closing its doors and putting up a sign that read: “The squirrel strikes again ...” in reference to the earlier fiber optic break-

as Christopher Creek, people tend to have a hard-wired land line, but in Payson, many have only a cellphone or a phone bundled with their Internet service. “Payson is the most fragile community because most people are on cellphones,” he said. Yet for many Payson stores, it was business as usual. Walmart’s parking lot was full and shoppers went in an out as they normally do. Cash registers happily tallied up purchases and took credit cards. Walmart customer service manager Eric Scott explained why: “We have a back-up system that captures all transactions and then sends them out later (when we have service),” he said. Safeway employees said their store is on a satellite communications system. They too had a normal amount of customers and a full parking lot. Customers reported Bashas’ had no problems either. At Desert Schools Credit Union, the doors remained open, but employees were vague on what they could and could not do for customers. “People come up and ask if our cellphones don’t work, then they leave,” said one bank employee. He thought the ATM would not dispense cash. At the Roundup, however, staff worried that ads would not get in the paper because the Internet was out and reporters hoped their facts were correct.

down CenturyLink blamed on a squirrel. Suddenlink repairmen expressed skepticism that a squirrel could chew through a fiber optic cable that has the width of a softball. The two repairmen did say their store was inundated with people asking questions, but they said Suddenlink couldn’t help anyone because the problem lay with CenturyLink. “CenturyLink owns the fiber optic line,” they said, “we just lease from them.” A call to Suddenlink tech support (made off of Airport Road where cellphones could find a couple of bars) confirmed that a CenturyLink fiber optic line had been cut. By 7 p.m. CenturyLink technicians were on hand to repair the non-functioning cable, but CenturyLink had not shared with other companies when they believed service would return. Calls to CenturyLink two-and-a-half hours after the communications failure revealed the employees had no idea of the outage. Despite the crippling effects from the loss of communications, the Payson Police Department still received emergency calls. Banner Payson Medical Center had no problem with communication either as they have hard-wired telephones like the dispatchers. Neither organization relies on the Internet for service — guaranteeing service if a fiber optic line goes down. Bob Lockhart, fire chief of the ChristopherKohl’s Fire Department, said emergency services could still receive calls from hard-wired phones, but since cellphones did not have service, 911 calls could not be made from those phones. Lockhart said that in outlying areas such

Roundup Sports Editor Keith Morris won big for his photography, with second-place awards for the above shot of a winning goal, the high school rodeo and the picture page below of the August Rodeo. From page 1A Naughton continued, “I am proud to be associated with this talented group of people. I hope you are also proud of your community newspaper!” Roundup editor Pete Aleshire said, “The Roundup has the best readers in the state, so they deserve the best newspaper. It was such a relief to bring this back home to Payson, after watching the way everyone here worked their hearts out all year long. This was truly a team effort. It involved every single person in the building — and all the people who trusted us to tell their stories. “I am perhaps most proud of winning the community service award, because that’s the whole point of a community newspaper. I’m also incredibly proud of Alexis, for winning both top reporter and the public records award,” said Aleshire. He noted that Bechman didn’t attend the awards ceremony on Friday because she was hiking through Paria Canyon.“This will tell you something about what it takes to be an investigative reporter. The day before she left for this 40-mile hike through a slot canyon — she said she was scared to death it would rain and she would drown. Therefore, she really had to go so she wouldn’t live a life dominated by fear. Fortunately for us, she has the same reaction when someone tells her they won’t give her a public record.” In advertising, the paper won first-place awards for best black and white ad, best paid ad series, most effective use of small space and second-place awards for best special section, best online ad and best newspaper promotion ad. In ad design, Sherrie McQuerrey won a first-place award and Jay Cooper won two first-place awards in individual categories. Melinda McQuerrey, Sherrie McQuerrey and Cooper also won second-place awards in other categories. In editorial, Roundup won first-place awards for community service, departmental news and copy editing, its editorial page and second-place awards for page design and news writing.
Bechman also won a statewide award for stories that required a struggle to obtain public documents. She spent six months filing Freedom of Information records requests to obtain reports and 911 recordings that documented the confusion about dispatching an air medical helicopter. Shot by a Forest Service law enforcement officer, the man bled to death waiting for the ODEO helicopter.

Redemption! Goal-line stand seals win by
Keith Morris
roundup sports editor
Photos by Keith Morris/Roundup
Shane Law (photo above) goes up for one of his two interceptions against Flagstaff. Cameron Moore (photo at right) reaches over the goal line for one of five Payson touchdowns in Flagstaff on Friday.
A strong performance by the offensive line helped quarterback Chaz Davis and the Longhorns score five touchdowns.
FLAGSTAFF – It was a déjà vu nightmare. On Friday night, mighty Flagstaff lined up just 11 yards from the winning touchdown, with the Longhorns facing a horror movie replay of their last-second homecoming loss the week before. Star running back Wyatt Chapman sat on the sidelines, nursing a hamstring injury. The Longhorns clung to a 32-28 lead, after a night of defensive miracles and near-death experiences. But Flagstaff had driven confidently from its own 26-yard line — covering 63 yards in nine plays. They had Payson’s number, with a firstand-10 on the Payson 11-yard line. That number was 40 — Austin Rhoden. The Eagles handed their fullback the ball on 10 of the 13 plays in the final drive. He picked up 51 yards on those 10 carries. The Payson defense looked plain out of miracles, beat up, broke down and bamboozled. But something happened on that defensive line Friday night. Flagstaff hit the line hard — and got a couple of yards. They hit it again — and got a couple of yards. But Payson refused to crumble. They hit it again on third-and-3, but Rhoda got barely a yard up the middle. Flagstaff called timeout with 1:09 left.
“We just decided it was a gutcheck and our guys have the biggest heart of anybody.” Chaz Davis
Payson quarterback-defensive back
The concerned fans in the Longhorn cheering section raised a brave cheer, hoping against hope — but everyone remembering the final seconds of that soul-crushing homecoming loss. Play resumed. Flagstaff lined up, with two yards to go for near-certain victory. Rhoda smashed into the Longhorn line, straight into a pileup on a Buffalo interstate in an ice storm. They peeled off the players to uncover Rhoda and the ball at the bottom of the pile. When the measurement came up short, Longhorns thrust fists up and the few hundred fans who made the trip screamed their delight. A minute later, the clock sealed Payson’s fourth win in five games. “We were able to make up for the mistakes we made last week,” said quarterback-defensive back Chaz Davis. “We were able to do the things we needed to do this week to get the win tonight, make a fourthdown stand. “We have faith in each other. We have faith in the coaches to put us in the right situations. We just decided it was a gut-
check and our guys have the biggest heart of anybody.” Ruben Estrada picked up much of the slack in Chapman’s absence after his second-quarter injury. He rushed nine times for 124 yards and a 62-yard touchdown. But five Longhorns ran for touchdowns in a rushing game that netted 337 yards. Estrada praised the performance by the offensive line. “Everyone was congratulating me (for my) running, but the way our line blocks it doesn’t matter who’s back there,” he said. “It’s just a great team win.” Turnovers made the difference. Payson’s defense made the Eagles cough up the ball four times. Payson gave it up only once. Pressed into starting duty after playing in the JV game the previous night, sophomore Shane Law had two interceptions. Both led to Payson touchdowns. And a blocked punt by Trey Glasscock deep in Flagstaff territory led to another Payson score. Still, penalties again plagued Payson. The Longhorns won despite drawing 13 penalties for 118 yards. It was Payson’s first game at NAU since beating Blue Ridge 34-33 in double overtime in the 2008 Class 3A State Championship Game. Clearly, the Longhorns wanted nothing more than to wipe out last week’s gut-wrenching defeat. And the goal-line defensive stand pre-

it through the intense fishing of summer now have grown a bit. Any species of trout that were stocked from hatcheries will take on some wild fish tendencies the longer they survive in the Arizona lakes and streams. Natural foods of crayfish and freshwater shrimp will actually change the color of their flesh to pink or orange depending on the food source and they will fight more aggressively. Growth of rainbows, brookies, browns and cutthroats is very much determined by the overall health and food source of the lake. The extremely fertile waters of Becker, Sunrise, Reservation, Crescent and Big Lake produce some real trophy-sized trout in the fall months. In the highest lakes of over 8,500 feet in elevation, the fall fishing is triggered much sooner than the local Rim lakes. Another phenomenon is the urge to
spawn or reproduce which takes place in the fall with brookies and browns. They will cruise the shallows looking for those small feeder streams that have sand and pea gravel bottoms to lay their eggs and be fertilized by the milt of the male trout. The mouths of these small creeks draining into the lake are often the best spots to fish for trophy trout. Fly-fishermen using a float tube or boat covering much more water often increases the chances of catching more fish in comparison to the shore angler. Likewise, an angler who may be trolling a sinking Rapala in a minnow pattern or a crawdad color Bomber also may have better luck than the shore angler. The key is to cover as much water as possible and hopefully intercepting some of these feeding trout. If you go, dress for much cooler condi-
tions than the 5,000-foot Payson weather. The general rule of thumb is to layer one’s clothing for the frosty early morning hours, which will give way to possibly sweatshirt weather during maximum heating of the afternoon. When the sun starts to set, the temperature will quickly fall and heavy jackets will again be a necessity if you are planning to stay for the early evening bite. Depending on the elevation, the fall colors of the deciduous trees adds another dimension with a wide spectrum of yellows and reds perfect as a backdrop for the photo-op with that trophy sized trout. Even though its fall, and hunting season, keep that rod and reel handy for a couple of trips to your favorite trout waters. Take a friend and enjoy the colors of fall while fighting a mountain trout in God’s creation.

served the victory. “Ruben Estrada, Donovan Cross, Tito Vega, Trey Glasscock, Korben White just rallied the team,” said head coach Jake Swartwood. “It was kind of along the lines of ‘this is the time that we change it; we turn the corner here.’” Unfortunately, injuries also played an outsized role. In addition to losing Chapman, Payson was again without standout free safety Brigham Flake, who suffered a season-ending torn meniscus in his knee in practice before the homecoming game. Swartwood was impressed with the final stand coming one week after things didn’t work out in a similar situation. “It would have been easy to say, ‘here we go again. Same thing again, we’re going to lose right here with less than a minute to go and we’re not going to get the ball back.’ “But I think it tells a lot about these guys’ character to make a stand after losing one so close last week. “To come back, to rally from it, have a great week of practice and come out and fix some things.” Chapman produced his fourth 100-yard rushing game of the season on just six carries. He appeared destined for a 47-yard touchdown run on the first play of the second quarter but pulled up and was knocked out at the 10. He walked off under his own power favoring one of his legs and didn’t return to action, instead cheering his teammates on the rest of the way. The injury couldn’t come at a worse time for the Longhorns as they prepare for the second half
Ernst enjoys strong day to win in PMGA Tim Ernst owned Payson Golf Course on Sept. 23. He was closest-to-the-pin on three of the five holes the Payson Men’s Golf Association awards prizes for. It’s the first time in Herb Sherman’s seven years of keeping records that anyone has managed that. That helped Ernst fire a 71 to win the low gross championship in the Individual Low Gross and Low Net Tournament. Jessie Smith had a hole-in-one to win closest-to-the-pin on No. 17.
Oscar Garcia won the A Flight low net title with a 67. Frank Szakal claimed B Flight low net honors with a 63, while Gary Vaplon (68) was second and Jim Dagleish (71) finished third. Szakal found the cup from six feet one and a half inches on the 18th hole to win the longest putt contest. Sherman won the D Flight with a 65, winning a scorecard tiebreaker with runner-up Lou Crabtree. Lou Mangiello was closest-tothe-pin on No. 5 (22 feet 9 inches).
Adams, Golf prevail in PWGA tiebreaker Ann Adams and Joyce Golf won a scorecard tiebreaker to claim the Payson Women’s Golf Association Two-Person Best Ball Tournament on Sept. 22 at Payson Golf Course. Karen Peterson and Marilyn Black finished second with the same score.
Marcy Hewlett was nearest the pin on No. 8 (21 feet 9 inches) and Kay Davis won on No. 14 (18-6). The Payson Women’s Golf Association is always looking for new members. For more information, visit www.pwgaonline. com.
