Man dies after shooting in Home Depot parking lot Police consider incident a case of self-defense after altercation

The owner of Crosswinds Restaurant died Monday afternoon after he was shot three times Saturday afternoon in the Home Depot parking lot. Police say Robert Schmidt, 51, shot Roger Annabel, 61, both of Payson, three times after Annabel reportedly reached into Schmidt’s vehicle during an argument. Schmidt has not been arrested and is not facing charges, as investigators believe Schmidt likely acted in self-defense, said Police Chief Don Engler. The men had reportedly argued earlier in the day

over Annabel’s stepdaughter, who Schmidt was reportedly dating. Annabel did not appear to support the relationship, Engler said. Around 3 p.m., Annabel reportedly used his vehicle to cut Schmidt off in his vehicle in the Home Depot parking lot, 2000 N. Beeline Highway. Schmidt called 911 and was on the phone with dispatchers as an altercation ensued, Engler said. Annabel reportedly reached into Schmidt’s vehicle and Schmidt told Annabel he had a gun. Schmidt fired three times, striking Annabel in the upper torso. Paramedics took Annabel to Banner Payson Medical Center and he was then flown to Good Samaritan

‘Always taking care of others’ Supply Line co-founder dies by

roundup staff reporter

Early on Monday morning, Oct. 5, Payson Supply Line co-founder Butch Kline passed away peacefully in his sleep, said his wife Kathy. “I know where he is and I know he is healthy,” she said. Butch had suffered from neurological issues for the past two years, but no one thought it would be fatal, said his wife. “It was unexpected. We did not know it was this serious,” she said. Butch founded the Payson Supply Line with partner Lud Kaftan after realizing the men and women serving overseas lacked many everyday comforts. The two realized the need after sending a package to Jason Watson, the brother of the Kline’s daughter-in-law. For a decade, Kline and Kaftan, both former Marines, worked tirelessly to raise money to send packages to those serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. Boxes included things such as health care items, snacks, cereal, powdered drink mixes, hand and foot warmers, small games and more. Each box supplied 10

The two ceased their work in December of 2014, just in time for Butch to realize he suffered from neurological issues, said Kathy. She said her husband struggled to accept help, after a life of helping others. “He did keep in pretty good spirits,” she said, “(but) it was hard for him to receive help.” Susie Watson, mother to Butch’s daughter-in-law, said her son Jason was the first to receive a box from the Payson Supply Line. “Butch jumped on it when he realized the troops

Hospital in Phoenix in critical condition. He underwent surgery, but remained in critical condition, Engler said. He passed away at 4:30 p.m. Monday. Detectives reviewed the store’s surveillance video of the parking lot, the 911 recording and questioned Schmidt. In conjunction with the Gila County Attorney’s Office, they determined Schmidt likely shot in self-defense and he is not facing any charges at this time. The investigation is ongoing. On Facebook, there was an outpouring of support from people hoping for Annabel’s recovery. The Roundup reached out to Annabel’s wife through the site, but had not heard back as of press time.

were not getting common everyday things,” said Susie. She said the Payson Supply Line was near and dear to her heart after seeing the difference it made in her son’s life. “Butch took care of everybody,” she said, a catch in her voice. Payson Supply Line started in 2005. Kathy served as the secretary for the 501(c)(3) organization, Butch as president. Lud was vice-president and Kaftan’s wife Marian crunched the numbers as treasurer. The organization put God front and center of its mission stating on its website: “We give God all the glory for the success of this mission. Payson Supply Line is God-led; we are the hands, feet and voice that He uses; those that contribute through donations or money and items are what keep us going.” Butch and Kathy attended Expedition Church. Already Lead Pastor Donovan Christian has visited to support her through this tough time. “I have wonderful family and friends,” said Kathy through her tears. Not only did Butch volunteer his time for the Payson Supply Line, he also ran Quality Movers with Dennis Schwebs. Schwebs will continue to run the business, but miss Butch greatly, said Kathy.

ROCK The choirs of Rim Country Middle School and Payson High School joined forces on Wednesday, Sept. 30 to rock an auditorium full of friends and family. Choir director Daria Mason teaches the choirs at both schools. She handled the more than 150 students with grace and effortlessness. Choosing many of today’s most popular pop tunes, Mason created a concert the audience enjoyed by clapping and cheering on their children.

Hope for a wet Rim Country winter continues to mount Forecasters see chance of ‘Super El Niño’ snowpack by

Pete Aleshire

roundup editor

Rim Country got drenched Monday and Tuesday, a portent of things to come. Payson received more than an inch of rain Monday with a 80 percent chance of showers forecast today, yielding to a warming trend and a 40 percent chance of rain on Wednesday.

The collision of a warm front and a cold front in Northern Arizona produced heavy rains across the state’s high country, with more than 2.3 inches in Forest Lakes. The rains came just past the end of the monsoon season and could herald a wet winter. In fact, forecasters say a “Super El Niño” event could produce the most winter snowfall in Rim Country in years.

The forecasters now predict a 95 percent chance of a strong El Niño through next spring. Normally, that means heavy snowfall in California, Arizona and New Mexico. That could prove wonderful news for California, with hundreds of thousands of acres burning in the depths of an “exceptional” drought. It probably won’t yield much relief for

University backers unveil site by

roundup editor

University advocates on Saturday with much fanfare unveiled a custom-designed, carved sign to mark the site of a future campus in Payson. Payson Mayor Kenny Evans at the unveiling of the $3,000 sign designed by a local artist and carved by a Pine sign shop said, “What makes all this possible is the good people of Payson.” Rim Country Educational Alliance board member Jon Cline said, “We have a group that is absolutely capable of taking this project to the next level. I’m a newcomer to the board, but the site is part of a cattle ranch my dad had for 30 years.” About 150 people attended a lunch at a ramada in Rumsey Park to get a look at the sign designed by Donn Morris, a local artist. Ed Farnum, with

Westwood Products, carved the sign using a high-tech, computer controlled router. The event included no concrete announcement of additional progress in the years-long effort to buy 253 acres from Tonto National Forest for the proposed 6,000-student campus. Reportedly, the Arizona State Historic Preservation Office has signed off on the work of a consultant to study and preserve artifacts from several sites on the land. See Backers, page 2A

the rest of the West — and could mean droughts, floods and epic fires in other areas — like India and Australia. Currently, the water in the eastern Pacific near Peru is roughly 4-12 degrees F hotter than normal (2-6 degrees C), according to the federal Climate Prediction Center. Moreover, the warmer temperatures in the ocean have already started to produce unusual wind patterns, which will in turn drive storm tracks on into spring

of 2016. This year’s El Niño could even set records. The last time such a strong pattern developed in 1998, Los Angeles got 13.68 inches of rain in February — a whole year’s worth of rain for that arid region. Strong El Niño could also help drought-stricken western areas like Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington, but forecasters aren’t necessarily betting

special to the roundup

The citizens have been polled and the results are in. The “Pine Strawberry Future Survey” asked residents for their input on many issues including non-residential development, job opportunities, economic development, tourism and which services and businesses residents want to see in Pine and Strawberry. Of the 2,294 residents in the two towns, the Pine-Strawberry Visioning Committee received 664 responses. “The 22 percent response rate was the highest of any other town surveyed in Arizona, which shows the residents here really care about our community,” said committee member Darwin Huber. The results were made public during a town hall meeting Sept. 26 at the cultural center. “We had a pretty good town crowd in attendance, which provided good feedback and asked many question that we intend to carry forward in working with the Gila County Planning offices,” Huber said The committee members want to help revise the Pine Strawberry section of the Gila County General Plan to reflect the wants and needs of residents. The decision to survey locals regarding growth

in the two mountain hamlets has its roots in June of 2014 when developer Beau Woodring announced plans to build a Dollar General store on the northeast side of Highway 87 in Pine. A standing-room crowd of 300 came out to protest his request to rezone the property before the Pine Cultural Hall in late June. The turnout prompted Woodring to withdraw his rezoning request. The episode prompted a group of concerned residents to begin what Visionary Committee member Chris Walsh called “Our community working with the county to have our voice heard in the next

The story of an orphan who is spirited away to the magical Neverland. There, he finds both fun and dangers, and ultimately discovers his destiny -- to become the hero who will be forever known as Peter Pan.

After two domestic violence altercations with his girlfriend in less than a year, a Gila County Superior Court judge Monday sentenced a Payson man to jail, probation and a lengthy term of community service. Cary Taylor Frocklage, 48, admitted to Judge Tim Wright Monday that he violated an order of protection and contacted his girlfriend in late April. The woman had filed the protection order in March after a fight with Frocklage. Frocklage denied wrongdoing in that case, but was ultimately convicted by Judge Dorothy Little of disorderly conduct and assault. On April 27, Frocklage went to the woman’s

70-year-old widower Ben Whittaker has discovered that retirement isn't all it's cracked up to be. Seizing an opportunity to get back in the game, he becomes a senior intern at an online fashion site, founded and run by Jules Ostin.

Tonto Forest Supervisor Neil Bosworth has previously said it would take two weeks to finish the sale once that happens. The MHA Foundation has provided the $4.1 million to buy the land and additional money to pay for the archaeological work and some of the pre-development costs. The MHA Foundation created the Rim Country Educational Foundation, which will share title to the property with the Alliance. However, backers still don’t have a signed commitment from Arizona State University to actually operate a campus here. The project has taken another turn after years of effort in the direction of a “multiversity,” that could include programs by both ASU and the University of Arizona and perhaps others, say backers. But the prospect of having several universities involved has further complicated the long and complicated negotiations. Backers hope that setting the sign on the property near the Payson Ranger Station will rekindle enthusiasm for the project, with the land sale now imminent. The sign is built of a polyurethane/wood mixture, which should last for years, said Farnum. The sign doesn’t mention a specific university partner. The Central Arizona Board of Realtors underwrote the cost of creating the sign.

Arizona and New Mexico normally get the brunt of it, but the storms can wander and expand — like the unpredictable blasts of a fire hose on the loose — say forecasters. El Niño can also produce drought in Australia, the failure of the monsoon in India and dangerous flooding in Arizona and California. But mostly, the prediction represents good

Frocklage’s lawyer Barry Standifird said Frocklage is not a perpetual abuser. He said this was a “maverick” event and Frocklage is good man that plays the saxophone, speaks French, is in radio advertising sales, volunteers as a Big Brother, coaches soccer and has never beat his girlfriend. “I am a good guy,” Frocklage said. Frocklage asked Wright to give him community service because sitting in jail is a waste of time when he could serve the community. Wright sentenced Frocklage to 45 days in jail with 35 days suspended. Because Frocklage has already served three days in jail, he will serve just seven days. Frocklage must also complete 24 months supervised probation, attend domestic violence offender treatment, not drink alcohol and complete 200 hours of community service. Frocklage will report for jail Friday, giving him time to make arrangements for his job selling community service radio announcements.

home drunk despite the order of protection. At an earlier change of plea hearing, the victim told Wright she has removed the order of protection and has reconciled with Frocklage. They now live together. “I love Ms. (victim’s name redacted),” Frocklage said. Calley Anderson, with the Gila County Attorney’s Office, said given the history of abuse, Frocklage should go to jail for at least 30 days. Frocklage cannot seem to go more than six months without abusing his girlfriend, said the prosecutor. The cycle of domestic violence often includes a tension-building phase, a battering episode and then the honeymoon phase during which the batterer apologizes and wins the victim back. Half a dozen Time Out Shelter staff members attended the hearing in purple shirts. Anderson said it is time to end the cycle of abuse and give Frocklage jail time. Wright agreed, since Frocklage attacked his girlfriend at least twice in a year.

news for Arizona, which has this year mostly emerged from “severe” drought and settled into either “moderate” drought or “abnormally dry” conditions. In the whole state, only southern Gila County remains in “severe” drought, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor, maintained by the National Weather Service. A wet winter would replenish hard-pressed reservoirs. Currently, the massive Roosevelt Lake reservoir has dwindled to 39 percent of its capacity, after three years of meager rainfall. The reservoirs on the Verde River have shrunken to about 51 percent of their capacity.

Salt River on Monday was running at 121 percent of normal, but Tonto Creek at just 25 percent of normal and the Verde River at just 78 percent of normal. Lake Mead remains at record lows, about three feet below last year at this time and about 29 feet below the 2013 level for the same period. The lake continues to hover just above a level that would trigger water rationing for Arizona and Nevada. The reservoir levels along the Colorado depend mostly on snowfall in the Rocky Mountains, but forecasters aren’t sure how an El Niño winter will affect the Rockies.

character that protect natural resources. “The residents overwhelmingly resist any brand name retail fast food chain or multi-family housing establishment,” said Huber. Many survey respondents also support business that provides tourists with goods, services and information so they could “experience an interaction with the outdoors.” Many said any development must protect the feel of a small, peaceful mountain com-

munity. The survey showed residents also want more and better transportation to and from Payson, a pedestrian-friendly downtown, a more appealing community appearance, events other than craft fairs, lower speed limits through town and public facilities such as restrooms, camping and RV hookups. Printed PowerPoint presentations of all survey results are available from Visionary Committee members.

System abuses our teachers Lawmakers have all kinds of bright ideas about education reform — civics tests, charter schools, private school scholarships, the AIMS test (oops, no wait the AZMerit test), low sugar school lunches, mandating lower administrative costs, new math, old math, school grades, suspending school grades. Heck, we’d need to master the new math just to factor all the bright ideas flowing out of the legislative brain trust down in Phoenix. But if you want to know where the real problem lies, read the most recent report on how Arizona treats its teachers. Here’s how we ranked in the WalletHub study, based on census and other data: • 49th lowest salaries • 49th highest student-teacher ratio • 51st lowest per-student spending • 48th worst composite school rating So do you need to take one of those calculus classes we can’t find any teachers to teach to figure out why the state’s schools have 1,000 teaching jobs they can’t fill? Supposedly, lawmakers are finally paying attention to the voters’ alarm about the state of our schools. Gov. Doug Ducey wants to divert a little money from the state land trust for 10 years, which will do almost nothing to close the enormous gap between Arizona and the rest of the nation. Legislative Republican leaders want to add to the state lands money funding stolen from voter-approved early childhood education — although that will require two different ballot measures and take nearly two years to have any effect at all. Legislative Democratic leaders released a laughable response of their own, saying they want to increase spending (a little) by devoting an entirely hypothetical state surplus for the next five years to K-12 schools. Mind you, not one of those dolts has offered any reasonable plan to repay about $1.3 billion in illegally withheld inflation adjustments. And you could put all three plans together and you would barely dent the enormous gap between what we spend and the national average. They’re all blowing smoke and telling lies. Here’s the truth: We should immediately enact all three plans. Then we should restore the 1-cent sales tax surcharge, reverse the deep cuts in corporate taxes and raise the state’s minimal income tax rate if we intend to reverse the years of neglect of our public school system. In the meantime, we’ll continue to lose teachers, who remain the key to any improvement in the system. Already, 20 percent of new teachers quit after their first year. So let your elected representatives know that you support education — and will no longer tolerate the systemic abuse of our teachers — and our children.

A grievous loss We’ve lost one of the people who had created the beloved community here in Rim Country. Butch Kline and partner Lud Kaftan, along with their wives, spent a decade marshaling the efforts of volunteers and donors to send care packages to soldiers in combat zones through the Payson Supply Line. The former Marines started by sending packages to family and then friends, but soon realized that their family included all of those serving in combat zones overseas — through the repeated deployments that have demanded so much of our all-volunteer armed forces. They worked year in and year out, as politicians and voters ignored the enormous toll such unceasing combat imposed on those young men and women. Butch and his comrades shut down the supply line last December, as the United States wound down its combat forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now Butch is dead, after a two-year struggle with “neurological issues.” Such tough, brave, dedicated, selfless people make Rim Country the place we love above all others. They quietly do the right thing, without worrying about the rewards, without flinching from the cost. Losing Butch would fill us with despair, but for one thing. Elsewhere in today’s paper, you can read about James Nebrig’s Eagle Scout project. James and his parents live in the Valley, but love to camp at the Payson Airport campground. During a rainstorm, James got to wondering why the airport campground doesn’t have some shelter — maybe a nice ramada. Years later — when he turned 13 — James figured he’d build Payson a ramada for his Eagle Scout project. So he raised $7,000 with the help of his parents, enlisted a bunch of volunteers and built himself a ramada. We don’t know how he managed it — but we know one thing for sure: Butch would be proud. For Butch understood that we are all the beloved community. And in the wake of his death we know that on this we can depend: When God closes a door, He will surely open a window.

PSWID will continue to learn and move forward Editor: A recent article in the Payson Roundup by Michele Nelson, publication date 9/22/15, regarding the PSWID decision to shut off water to one of our area residents contained several statements and misrepresentations that I would like to clear up. This matter was, and is, at heart, a dispute between a property owner and their tenant. PSWID regulation AIII, Section 5.4 states ‘The Customer shall furnish and maintain a high quality private cut-off valve and approved back-flow prevention device (If required by the District) on the Customer’s side of the meter, and within 18” of the meter.” This requirement is at the discretion of the district based on criteria such as elevation of the property to the providing well, livestock present, likelihood of cross-contamination during line outages, etc. Your article of 9/22/15 mentions only a paraphrased and edited part of the Arizona Revised Statute that applies to this situation. ARS R18-4-215 Section C reads “Unless a cross-connection problem is specifically identified, or as otherwise provided in this Section, the requirements of this Section shall not apply to single-family residences used solely for residential purposes.” As this property is being used for livestock, horses in particular, this is not simply a residential property, and ARS R18-4-215 Section B.1. specifically applies. “A public water system shall ensure that a backflow-prevention assembly is installed whenever any of the following occur: 1. A substance harmful to human health is handled in a manner that could permit its entry into the public water system. These substances include chemicals, chemical of biological process waters, water from public water supplies that has deteriorated in sanitary quality, etc.” Our main objective must always be the safety and purity of our water supply. Simply stating that a person will not drop a hose in a horse trough is not a reliable way to prevent cross contamination to our other district users. Should something happen, such as a line break, and water siphon back from the horse trough to the main line, this contaminated water would then be distributed to other district users that we are responsible for. The prior tenant on the property under discussion had installed such a backflow prevention device, which they paid to have installed. Subsequently, when they vacated the premises, they took the device with them. The PSWID district mailed numerous notices regarding this matter, and for almost two years we have tried to resolve this matter. Time and time again we were told that a device would be installed within two weeks, only to have no action taken. In fact, a door hanger was placed on the residence two days prior to the shut off stating that service would be disconnected within two days should the matter not be resolved. As chairman, I accept the fact that this matter went on far too long, and we should have

in fact have been sending registered letters to ensure compliance. This is our fault and one of the reasons this issue dragged on for so long. Future notices will be sent by registered mail. In the meanwhile, we will continue to learn and move forward as we try to ensure excellent service and the cleanest water possible to all the residents of our district. Tom Weeks PSWID board chairman Editor’s note: The Roundup sought comment from Mr. Weeks and other water district employees before writing the article. They chose not to respond. Mr. Weeks’ response here does not address the core concerns raised by the article and by the customers interviewed — whether water district enforces the regulation equally and how a device that reportedly costs more than $1,000 responds to state requirements.

Junction 87 provided the entertainment, Police Chief Don Engler and Payson High School Principal Brian Mabb, took a few dips in the dunk tank and Payson Care Center employee Anissa Collins was our face painter. The rest of you helped to save lives. Thanks again, Payson. You rock. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and Time Out will host its annual Candlelight Walk & Program to help bring awareness to domestic violence. We hope you can join us. We will meet on Wednesday, Oct. 14 at 5:45 at Expedition Church and there will be a brief program after the walk. Edna Welsheimer, executive director, Time Out, Inc.

Arrest the president for treason Editor: “Obama Administration and UN Announce Global Police Force to Fight ‘Extremism’ in U.S.” (Breitbart.com). this occurred on Wednesday last. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/10/02/obama-administration-andun-announce-global-police-force-to-fight-extremism-in-u-s/ This is a violation of U.S. sovereignty and most likely grounds for prosecution for treason in that he, Obama, has given and is giving aid and comfort to our enemies. Unfortunately, this administration defines “violent extremism” as firearm ownership and anyone else who disagrees with this administration’s dismantling and destruction of the first nation in history to put individual freedom ahead of the arbitrary whims of kings and princes and neighborhood warlords. However, this administration’s definitions

are irrelevant. Inviting foreign law enforcement on U.S. soil is treason any way you look at it. Under the United States Constitution, impeachment is not required to arrest a sitting president for treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors. The U.S. Marshals Service needs to arrest this first enemy agent and his cohorts immediately and have him prosecuted.

Proud of Roundup Editor: I cannot express the pride I have in the Roundup team — from the top down! I’m a small log in the wheel, a well-oiled one. It is truly a pleasure to everyone at the Roundup and the role each does so well. With pride, John Dryer, contract carrier Editor’s note: John’s letter also offers the opportunity to make a confession. In a recent column about Roundup publisher John Naughton and other Roundupteers I completely forgot to mention how much I appreciate the contributions of the carriers who get the paper to our beloved readers — in deep snow, monsoon storms and every other kind of weather. I felt terrible for the omission — I hope route drivers like John Dryer will forgive me. Meanwhile, the publisher has concluded that I’m excessively maudlin, which is a separate problem.

Thanks for helping make Northern Gila County Fair a success Editor: The Northern Gila County Fair thanks the members of the community for stopping by the fair over the Sept. 11-13 weekend. We really enjoyed sharing the works of the community’s 4-H’ers, FFA’ers, and the skilled artisans and craftspeople that live in our community. The fair appreciates being able to showcase the varied talents of our creative residents. Many thanks to the fair’s sponsors without whom we would not be able to have a fair. We’d like to thank the many volunteers who make the fair run daily. It wouldn’t be possible without your hard work. Connie Cockrell

Study: Arizona among worst states for teachers

LICENSED

Zee ’s

Another low ranking as school funding debate continues to heat up by

Pete Aleshire

roundup editor

Arizona ranked 49th among the states when it comes to conditions for teachers, in a study based largely on census and other data published on the WalletHub website. The latest bad news for the state’s schools comes in the middle of a rising debate about school financing in the shadow of repeated court rulings ordering the state to repay an illegally withheld inflation adjustment. Gov. Doug Ducey, legislative Republicans and Democrats have all advanced plans that would boost per-student funding by about $300 — but would not settle a lawsuit involving an illegally withheld inflation adjustment nor bring state spending anywhere near the national average. The state is considering a special legislative session in January to take up the issue of school funding, although the proposals to provide new money barely provide enough to satisfy the requirements of the court orders. The statistical tally by WalletHub on teacher conditions considered salary, student-teacher ratio, per-student spending and overall school system ranking. Massachusetts ranked No. 1 and Arizona ranked 49th, just barely ahead of North Carolina and West Virginia. The study noted that the nation has developed a growing shortage of teachers, as requirements rise along with the impact of standardized testing, while raises fail to keep pace with inflation. About one-fifth of new teachers quit by the end of their first year, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. The findings didn’t surprise Payson Unified School District Superintendent Greg Wyman. “I would say the country has created a negative environment for teaching,” he said. “This has been made worse by funding issues. Job satisfaction or negative public perception of the profession of teaching is a national issue. Salary issues are problematic across the nation, just worse in Arizona due to the funding of public education.” Wyman said the district has faced increased problems in finding new teachers, although it also has teachers with more experience than the state average. “We are having difficulty filling positions. We worked hard to address our teaching positions this year and have been successful, but as the shortage increases it will be that much more difficult to find teachers. “There are more than 1,000 unfilled teaching positions in the state. Payson Unified will not be immune from this issue.” The national study suggests why poorly funded states like Arizona have suffered as the pool of teachers nationally declines.

per-student spending and the Legislature’s decision to withhold a voter-mandated inflation adjustment during the recession. Courts have ordered the state to repay $336 million in illegally withheld inflation funding immediately and negotiate with the schools for some $1.3 billion in back payments. The Legislature instead put about $72 million in the current budget, insisting that’s all it owes, no matter what the courts say. Legislative Democrats this week came out with their own school funding proposal. The plan avoids any new taxes, but earmarks $3.8 billion in new money for K-12 schools over the next 10 years, mostly from assuming state revenues will rise steadily and devoting all the projected increases to K-12 schools. The plan also calls for capping at $50 million annually a program that gives corporations tax breaks for money donated to private schools. The current law allows that program to increase by 20 percent annually, which means it could rise far more rapidly to more than $600 million annually in the next decade. Republicans immediately dismissed the plan as financial wishful thinking, since it assumes a healthy rise in state revenues every year. Legislative Republicans have proposed a plan that would generate a similar amount of money by diverting money from the state land fund and repealing a voter-approved program to fund early childhood education. Voters would have to approve both ideas. Gov. Doug Ducey has proposed a plan that would generate a little less money by temporarily diverting money from the state land trust, which would also require voter approval and would only last for 10 years. None of the plans even cover the cost of the court-ordered inflation adjustment. Arizona’s per-student spending remains 47 percent below the national average and less than half of what the top-spending states provide. Wyman pointed out that the district can’t do much to reward teachers or increase pay without more funding or relief from state mandates. For instance, the Legislature’s decision to withhold the voter-mandated inflation adjustment has cost Payson schools $10 million over the past five years. “When we talk about the lack of programs or salary issues imagine what the district could have done if properly funded based on the law. “As a side note, the administrative costs for PUSD have remained right around 10 percent of the total budget. Since people, including politicians, are beginning to recognize how poorly funded public education is in Arizona the answer lies in funding public education properly. “The key is for the Legislature to pay the school districts the $336 million owed as part of the Cave Creek lawsuit.”

“We are having difficulty filling positions. We worked hard to address our teaching positions this year and have been successful, but as the shortage increases it will be that much more difficult to find teachers. There are more than 1,000 unfilled teaching positions in the state. Payson Unified will not be immune from this issue.” Greg Wyman

PUSD Superintendent

Arizona showed up on the “worst” list on almost every measure, including: • 49th lowest annual salaries adjusted for inflation • 49th highest pupil-to-teacher ratio • 51st lowest spending per student • 48th lowest on a composite worst school systems ranking Wyman noted that the state currently has 1,000 unfilled teaching positions. Payson has a large number of veteran teachers, many of them nearing retirement — which means the district could face difficulties recruiting enough teachers in the future. “I think the emphasis on standardized testing in combination with any number of other mandates is pushing teachers to leave the system. “When you add this to low teacher salaries and the need to pay for classroom expenses out of pocket, it makes it tough to recruit into the profession,” said Wyman. Funding for K-12 education has become a hot-button political issue, thanks to Arizona’s dead-last ranking in

PAYSON ROUNDUP

Prepare for a mammography visit Annual mammograms are widely recommended for women beginning at age 40. Some estimates suggest that more than 48 million mammography screenings are performed in the United States every year. Whether it is a woman’s first mammogram or her 20th, preparing for the appointment can ease anxiety and make the experience go more smoothly. The following are some guidelines to consider when preparing for a mammography visit. • Choose a reputable and certified facility. Select a radiology center that is certified by the FDA, which means it meets current standards and is safe. Many women also prefer to select a facility that is covered by their health insurance. Plans usually allow for one mammogram screening per year. • Time your visit. Schedule the mammogram to take place one week after your menstrual period if you have not reached menopause. Breasts are less likely to be tender at this time. Also, schedule your visit for a time when you are not likely to feel rushed or stressed. Early in the day works best for many. • Dress for the occasion. Two-piece ensembles enable you to only remove your shirt and bra for the examination. A blouse that opens in the front may be optimal. Some facilities require you to wear a paper gown for the exam. • Watch your grooming practices. You’ll be advised to abstain from wearing powder, perfume, deodorant, ointment and lotions on the chest or around the area. These substances may look like an abnormality on the mammogram image, potentially resulting in false positive diagnoses. • Take an OTC pain medication. Mammograms are not necessarily painful, but they can put pressure on the breasts, which creates discomfort. Breasts are compressed between a plastic plate and the imaging machine. This spreads out the tissue and helps create a clearer picture. If your breasts are tender, medications like acetaminophen or ibuprofen taken an hour before the appointment may ease discomfort. • Expect a short visit. Mammogram appointments typically last around 30 minutes. The technician will mark any moles or birthmarks around the breasts so they can be ignored on the imaging. You’ll be asked to hold your breath as the images are taken. If the images are acceptable, you are free to go. But new images may be needed in some instances. Mammograms are now a routine part of women’s preventive health care. The procedure is simple and appointments are quick and relatively painless. History of mammograms

Mammography remains one of the most popular and well-known diagnostic tools for breast cancer. It is estimated that 48 million mammograms are performed each year in the United States and many others are conducted all around the world under the recommended guidance of doctors and cancer experts. Mammography can be traced back more than 100 years to

Support from family, friends and doctors may not be enough when dealing with cancer. Individuals may find the additional emotional support they need by connecting with support groups in their communities.

Recent advances in mammogram technology, such as the introduction of a comfort pad, makes the experience much less painful than it has been in the past. Plus the staff at the Banner Payson Medical Center Outpatient Imaging Center are especially gifted when it comes to helping their clients through the process. 1913, when German surgeon Albert Salomon attempted to visualize cancer of the breast through radiography. By the 1930s, the concept of mammography was gaining traction in the United States. Stafford L. Warren, an American physician and radiologist, began his own work on mammography, developing techniques of producing stereoscopic images of the breast with X-rays. He also championed the importance of comparing both breast images side-by-side. Raul Leborgne, a radiologist from Uruguay, conducted his own work on mammography and, in 1949, introduced the compression technique, which remains in use today. By compressing the breast, it is possible to get better imaging through

the breast and use a lower dose of radiation. Also, compression helps spread the structures of the breast apart to make it easier to see the individual internal components. Compression helps to pull the breast away from the chest wall and also to immobilize the breast for imaging. Advancements in mammogram technology continued to improve through the 1950s and 1960s. Texas radiologist Robert Egan introduced a new technique with a fine-grain intensifying screen and improved film to produce clearer images. In 1969, the first modern-day film mammogram was invented and put into widespread use. The mammogram process was fine-tuned in 1972 when a high-definition intensifying screen produced sharper images and new film

offered rapid processing and shorter exposure to radiation. By 1976, the American Cancer Society began recommending mammography as a screening tool. Through the years, mammography became a great help to women looking to arm themselves against breast cancer. Thanks to improvements in early detection and treatment, breast cancer deaths are down from their peak and survival rates continue to climb. The Breast Cancer Support Group is planning a tour of the local imaging center at 1 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 8. Meet at the Senior Apartments, 313 S. McLane (just past the high school on the corner of Wade and McLane) at 12:30 to carpool to the facility.

Cancer is a prolific disease that continues to affect millions of people around the world each year. The World Health Organization says that each year 12.7 million people are diagnosed with cancer and 7.6 million people die from the disease. Despite the prevalence of cancer, many cancer patients experience feelings of isolation when diagnosed with the disease. A cancer diagnosis can lead to anxiety and depression, which can impact cancer patients’ ability to fight their disease. Ongoing research into a cure and new treatment options can give individuals hope, but finding a support group can provide the extra boost cancer patients need to make it through a difficult time in their lives. There are many different paths to take to find a cancer support group. One of the first places to find information is with your own doctor. He or she may have a list of nearby support groups that can help you make it through your treatment. You also may be put in touch with other patients who are going through the same struggles. Another avenue is through a cancer organization. For example, the American Cancer Society has programs and services to help people find the emotional support they need, and that help is usually free. The National Cancer Information Center has 24-hour support. According to the center, trained cancer information specialists are available via phone, email or live chat to provide accurate, up-to-date information to patients, family members and caregivers. These specialists also can help connect callers with valuable services and resources in their communities. Check with a church or community center to see which programs are available in your community. Many community support groups meet in hospitals, churches, schools and other centers. These can be another great resource for information and support. Another resource is online support groups. Thanks to social media, it’s now possible to connect with people from all around the world in a matter of seconds. Use the search function of Facebook to search for a group that suits your needs. Many insurance providers also have partners that offer online or telephone training/support for not only cancer patients, but also clients dealing with other health issues. Support groups can help cancer patients connect with people in similar situations and find the resources and emotional support they need. Rim Country Breast Cancer Support Group

The Breast Cancer Support Group meets at 12:30 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 8 at the Senior Apartments, 313 S. McLane (just past the high school on the corner of Wade and McLane) and then carpooling to the Banner Payson Medical Center’s Outpatient Imaging Center for a tour of the facility. The group will leave the Senior Apartments at precisely 12:30 p.m. to be at the Imaging Center by 1 p.m. The tour host is Renee Harrigan, the senior mammographer at the Imaging Center.

an effortless crop, they relied on it as a fall crop more than wheat that was susceptible to frost. So, when the Irish came to the States, they found tons of pumpkins so cheap and cheerful they used them instead of turnips. But it took awhile. The tradition didn’t take off until after the Civil War. I say it’s a wasteful tradition. Pumpkins have so much more to offer nutritionally than to turn into a spooky candle holder. The bright orange orbs have tons of potassium and Vitamin A, minerals and Vitamin C. The National Institutes of Health report that pumpkins have properties as an anti-diabetic, antioxidant, anti-carcinogenic, and anti-inflammatory agent. Pumpkins can even improve the health of your pet. Veterinarians suggest supplementing your dog’s and cat’s food with pumpkin to aid digestion of hairballs. Feeding chickens pumpkin in the winter, keeps up their egg production. In cooking, the versatile pumpkin can be used in everything from soups to desserts. So, I say, pumpkins are just too good to waste sitting on a doorstep slowly turning into a blackened mess. No more plunging both hands into a slithery mass of slimy, pumpkin-brain seeds. No more sighs and shudders. This Halloween carve a clean, wholesome turnip, in memory of poor, old, too-clever Jack. Save the pumpkins for healthy soups and desserts. I’m fired up and ready to lead the turnip crusade. I have just one question: Can I make pumpkin soup without touching the slimy seeds?

Pinch of salt 2 cinnamon sticks Crushed walnuts and clotted cream for garnish The most difficult part of this recipe is trimming the pumpkin. Start by cutting off the top of the pumpkin like a small cap. Do the same to the stem. Using a sturdy, sharp carving knife, cut the pumpkin from top to bottom making slivers about 2 inches wide at the center. Clean out the seeds and soft middle portions and cut off the outer skin of each sliver. Now you should have several crescent-shaped slivers of pumpkin. Depending on their length, cut each sliver into two or three pieces. Your goal should be pieces three to four inches long. Line the bottom of a large, shallow covered skillet or saucepan with the pumpkin. Pour the sugar evenly over the top. Sprinkle the pinch of salt over the top, add the cinnamon sticks and cover the pan. Let the pan rest overnight. The next morning, you’ll see that the pumpkin has released all its juices. The pumpkin pieces should be nearly covered by their own juice. There should be no need to add any extra water. Place the pan, still covered, on the stove and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat. Let the pumpkin simmer until it becomes very soft and translucent and the juice and sugar are reduced to a thick, syrupy consistency. This can take from one to even two hours. Check the pan frequently to prevent the sugar from burning. Once the pumpkin is “candied,” let it cool down in the pan for several minutes. Remove the pieces gently and arrange them on your serving platter. Discard the cinnamon sticks. Drizzle the extra

syrup over the top and refrigerate for several hours. Just before serving, garnish your pumpkin pieces with crushed walnuts and a dollop of clotted cream. If you’d like to add whole cloves, cardamom, pieces of ginger and nutmeg — add to the juice along with the cinnamon stick before cooking.

State office advocates for veterans in need by

Teresa McQuerrey

roundup staff reporter

Rim Country veterans may have as many problems with the Veterans Administration as anyone, but they also have access to help with those problems through the Arizona Department of Veterans Services. Director Wanda Wright and legislative liaison David Hampton visited Payson Sept. 29 to give an update on how the office can help veterans. Wright was appointed director of the AZDVS on April 1, and has visited Payson several times since then. She calls her post a cabinet-level position with Gov. Doug Ducey’s administration. Hampton has been with the AZDVS since 2007. “My job, as a cabinet member to the governor, lends itself to being an advocate for veterans,” Wright said. “The VA, as a federal agency, does not see a need to advocate, so I feel my office must advocate for veterans’ health, education and employment.” That advocacy is not only with the VA, but with community resources as well. As an example, Wright’s office pushed for Arizona VA officials to make the recent town hall visit to the Rim Country, she said. Wright’s Veterans Benefits Counselors (VBCs) help their clients through the process of making claims to the VA for pensions and disability payments. They complete the claim forms, submit them to the VA and follow them through the process. Wright said her people will sometimes help adjudicate delayed or denied claims. “They provide expert support and are someone the veteran can turn to along the way and even afterward,” she said. Wright added the VA has told her veterans who use the AZDVS and its VBCs as their advocates have a better rate of successful claims than those who go through the process alone. The VBCs’ extra effort to complete the paperwork can make the

Arizona Department of Veterans Services Director Wanda Wright visited Payson recently to advocate for veterans having trouble getting federally mandated services. The state office now sends representatives to Payson regularly to help veterans apply for benefits. process more efficient. VBC counselor Martha Alderman is making twice-monthly visits to the Rim Country. Working out of the Arizona Department of Economic Security office at 100 N. Tonto St., Suite 100, she sees veterans and their family members from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. both by appointment (call 602-2348415) and as walk-ins. She saw 22 veterans on her first visit, but now sees an average of 7 or 8 on each visit. Wright said veterans need only bring their DD214 (certificate of service) and any medical records available to support a claim for disability related to their time in the service. She said the VBC will visit with the veteran, go through a series of questions, fill out a computerized form and send it directly to the VA through a direct computer-to-computer connection. Wright said the veteran might need additional documentation to make the claim as complete as possible, but usually the claim goes right in before they leave the appointment with the VBC. “We have a good partnership with the DES and the Town of Payson,” Wright said. She explained her staff and DES are “cross training” to ensure veterans receive their full benefits. Wright is working to learn what every county in the state has available to help veterans, including help through counties, towns, educational institutions, religious and private community service groups. The program can provide extra help for homeless veterans and those seeking job or educational assistance.

Wright said veterans face special problems getting help in rural areas due to the fragmentation of effort. She hopes to help these community resources form consortiums for veterans’ services. Wright anticipates tackling this problem in the near future. “If they all know about each other, they will create synergy and with synergy they can get anything done,” she said. “Stand Down” events throughout the state have started to create those connections with a single day, one-stop shop for veterans. Multiple agencies and organizations participate. In some instances, veterans can get haircuts or see a dentist at the event. In Flagstaff, the veterans in need got boots, coats, gloves, etc. to help them through the winter. Wright expects the effort to build consortiums will go smoothly. “Working with veterans there are really few obstacles because people are willing to get on board to help them,” Wright said. She has identified a trio of priorities for her office. • Road Map to Veteran Employment: She wants specialized training for both veterans and employers to get the unemployment rate of veterans — especially post 9-11 veterans — below the average unemployment rate. Combat veterans can face special problems in the transition to the normal work environment. Wright wants to ensure veterans have access to all the job search resources available, then get training once they land a job.

“Veterans dealing with combat issues, such as those arising from traumatic brain injury or post traumatic stress, may need their employers to make slight adjustments. The veteran may not be able to work in a situation that lends itself to triggers (of the memory of the injury or the PTS),” she said. Veterans may also need help catching up on the years of normal life lost while they served in a war zone. Many of these young veterans finished high school and went to war, missing the training and experience their civilian peers experienced. • Helping women veterans: Some 60,000 women in Arizona have served in the military, ranging in age from 18 to 90. While the women face many of the same issues as men, Wright wants to get a better handle on their specific issues to develop a way to help address them. She plans four events designed for women veterans. These supportive events will provide access to education information; health care resources; help with financial and legal issues; employment matters; and available benefits. Wright hopes to offer a spa retreat atmosphere as well. • Updating Arizona Department of Veteran’s Services: Wright wants to update AZDVS, which “has been around since 1924,” she said. She seeks internal efficiencies after identifying the value it has to clients and the benefits to taxpayers. Wright said this priority takes to heart the governor’s dictate for “Running government at the speed of business.” Outside of its advocacy role, the AZDVS also provides skilled nursing facilities for Arizona veterans and their spouses at homes in Phoenix and Tucson, with a new one opening in Yuma. The Phoenix facility has 200 beds, the Tucson facility 120 beds and the Yuma facility will have 60 beds, although it’s at just 80 percent capacity at the moment, she said. The AZDVS operates with a budget of about $32 million, including $6 million from the state’s general fund. The balance comes from revenue earned through the veterans’ homes and for burials at the state’s veteran’s cemeteries in Sierra Vista and those opening in Marana and Camp Navajo. The VA covers the costs for veterans in the skilled nursing homes operated by the AZDVS. For 70 percent disabled veterans, the VA covers 65 percent of the cost of their care in one of the state’s homes. The balance is covered through a variety of other resources.

Eagle scout builds $7,000 airport ramada by

Marie Fasano

special to the roundup

On Sept. 26, 2009, James Nebrig, along with his parents — Ken and Lorrie — got caught in a furious storm while camping at the unique campground at the Payson Airport. “Why don’t they have a cover from the rain?” six-year-old James asked his drenched parents. Six years later — James answered his own question. The Payson Airport Campground does have a shelter, but only because James — now 13 — raised $7,000, enlisted squads of volunteers and made it all happen for his Eagle Scout project. So on Sept. 26, the Nebrig family threw a party for the volunteers and supporters at the new shelter at the campground, Eagles Landing Pavilion. Dad, an airline pilot and Mom, a private pilot, have been taking James on airport camping trips all his life. “He has been flying since he was three weeks old.” said Lorrie. One of their favorites remains Payson Municipal Airport, the only airport in Arizona with a fully equipped campground with hot showers, restrooms, camping spots and fire rings for visitors. The Arizona Department of Transportation Aviation Division developed the campground more than 20 years ago, with a grant paid for from aviation fuel taxes at no cost to the taxpayers. James remembered all the good times he had camping at Payson Airport. As he progressed in the Boy Scouts, with Troop 7006 in Prescott, he decided to build a ramada at the airport for his Eagle Scout service project. An Eagle Scout must pass six levels and earn 21 merit badges

The Eagle must also must plan, develop and give leadership to a service project from concept to completion. Airport manager, and Payson town manager LaRon Garrett, helped get town approval for James’ project. LaRon knows about Eagle Scouts. He presides as advancement chairman for Eagle Scouts Northern Gila County District of the Boy Scouts of America. “Typically,” Garrett said. The scouts are 14 -15 years old when they become Eagle Scouts. At 13,

James Nebrig is one of the younger boys to successfully complete his project.” James credits his parents. “I had great parents. There are scouts who drag it on and those who want to get it done and go, go, go. That’s me.” “When he started, I don’t think he understood the magnitude of the project,” said Lorrie. James said he got advice from his handyman dad and support from his mom, the “grub master” who fed all the volunteers. The project consumed years of planning. The family initially spoke with Beth Myers, more

recently with Ray Law, airport coordinators. Once he got started, James located public domain plans on the Internet and began planning the shelter. His father Ken said, “It took three trips in the family airplane to meet with the Public Works Department in Payson to approve the plans and begin construction.” James spoke with folks in the building department. James knew the town had no money for the project so he raised $7000 in cash and supplies from pilots, air camper friends, and local vendors in Payson and Prescott. Mom drove him to many stores. In his Boy Scout uniform, he went alone into the stores, explained the project and asked for donations. No one refused. As project coordinator, James supervised an all-volunteer crew of pilots from around the state and scouts in surveying, digging footings, pouring 9,000 pounds of concrete, spreading 24,000 pounds of rock and then erecting the shelter. Ray Law and Dennis Dueker from Payson Airport showed up on work days with help and donuts for all the volunteers. Saturday, Sept 27, six years to the day from when James first wondered why Payson airport did not have a shelter, more than 65 pilots and friends from the American Yankee Association, Arizona Pilots Association, Recreational Aviation Foundation and the Payson Pilots Association came to the barbeque the family provided at the new Eagles Landing Pavilion. The organizations gave him letters of appreciation and gifts to say “Thank You, James.”

Police are looking for who broke into the yard at Uncle Herbs medical marijuana dispensary Friday night and damaged a vehicle and dumpster. Dispensary workers discovered someone had been in the locked dispensary yard, at 200 N. Tonto St., Saturday morning when they arrived to open the facility. The windows in a delivery vehicle had been smashed and the locked lid on a garbage dumpster pried open, said Police Chief Don Engler. It does not appear the suspects took anything and there was no medical marijuana in the trash or delivery vehicle. No attempt was made to break into the dispensary. Police have reviewed surveillance video from the scene, but have so far made no arrests.

Violent western history hidden on Holbrook’s side streets Writer sets off on quest to find site of shoot-out by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

My dad and I had a secret passion — westerns. Many a Sunday afternoon found us glued to the tube watching Gunsmoke, the Lone Ranger or movies with John Wayne. I always envied the simplicity of the cowboy life — the White Hat guys always won against the Black Hat guys in dramatic, honorable shoot-outs in the middle of the street as the town looked on. But when I moved to Arizona, I began to learn the truth behind the myth. Take the Pleasant Valley War for example — a range war, a family feud, the transformation of friends into enemies — conducted by ambush rather than gunfights in the street. For the peaceful settler, it took more than decency and hard work to make a go of it with rustlers around. Many made the grim choice between morality and survival — and took their secrets to their deathbeds.

Peter Aleshire/Roundup

The little house where Commodore Perry Owens gunned down Pleasant Valley War outlaw Andy Cooper and three others is now a nursing home on a Holbrook side street. Now famous for its concrete dinosaurs, Holbrook harbors a vivid wild west history as well. One of the worst characters during the Pleasant Valley War was Andy (Cooper) Blevins. He sat at the center of a rustling operation that made such headlines that it prevented the territory of Arizona from becoming a state until the 1900s. Yet his crimes caught up with

him in the dusty, forlorn town of Holbrook — not far from Rim Country. I found myself passing through Holbrook and decided to find the site of one of the deadliest shootouts in Arizona. It basically took out a whole family, including Andy; his younger brother, Sam Houston; and a friend, Mose Roberts. They died when Navajo County Sheriff Commodore Perry Owens shot them in their home as women and children looked on. Owens also shot another brother, John Blevins, but he survived. Although Holbrook seems to pop up in the middle of nowhere, it actually sits in a strategic position next to the railroad and the Little Colorado River, which made it the epicenter of the cattle business in the whole region. Named after the first engineer of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad, the unassuming town was also famously home to the Hashknife Outfit a.k.a. the Aztec Land and Cattle Company. Now the Navajo County seat, Holbrook also hosts a museum near the railroad tracks that features pieces of a meteor that burst over the town in 1912. And don’t forget those cement dinosaurs. They line the main drag. The dinosaurs remind travelers of the Petrified Forest that sits nearby, with its fossils of creatures long gone. During Andy Cooper’s time, Holbrook served the rustlers perfectly. Cooper made many friends with the shadier members of the Hashknife crowd and relied on the railroad to transport rustled stock. Cooper’s family ranch on Canyon Creek in Pleasant Valley supplied the location for rustlers to bring stolen horses and cattle to brand over and heal before being sold either to parts north or to Phoenix in the south. Cooper came from Texas, where he escaped from a jail cell. The law put him there for horse stealing. He changed his name to hide from authorities and at first hung out in the northeastern corner

of Arizona. Reportedly, he stole horses from the Navajo, ironically with the man who would later kill him — Commodore Perry Owens. The two worked together until Cooper convinced his family to move to Pleasant Valley. He took over the Canyon Creek Ranch thereafter, reportedly paying a Mormon family a fraction of what they had invested. They had left the place unoccupied to attend to church business in Utah and Cooper simply moved in. In those lawless times, they had little choice but to move on. Soon Cooper’s mother and father and his three other brothers moved to Arizona from Texas. Cooper then started his rustling days He joined the Graham side in their feud with the Tewksburys that lay at the heart of the Pleasant Valley War. Things heated up when Cooper’s dad, Old Man Blevins, disappeared while looking for horses. The Blevins blamed the Tewksburys. To keep his mother, teenage brother and sister-in-law safe, Cooper moved them into a little house in Holbrook. The battle escalated in Pleasant Valley. After killed John Tewksbury, he went to Holbrook to boast about it. By that time, Owens had become sheriff of Navajo County. He had to that point avoided arresting Cooper for old times sake. But he came under intense political pressure to do something when Cooper showed up in Holbrook. Hearing that Cooper had holed up with his mother in Holbrook, Owens decided he had to act. Now here’s where history gets interesting. To hear the tale of the shooting of the Blevins family from Owens’ point of view, the Blevins saw Owens coming and fought him fair and square in a good old-fashioned western shoot-out. But the story told by John Blevins’ wife, Eva, an actual eyewitness, sounds very different — making Owens look ruthless and shrewdly cunning. Facing a houseful of potential

outlaws, Owens may have had little choice. He knew Cooper was a crack shot who never gave anyone a chance to talk. He just shot. Rim Country historian Jinx Pyle got hold of Eva’s first-hand account of the confrontation. It took her 70 years to tell it, but she said no one really had asked her what she had seen before that. From Pyle’s book, Pleasant Valley War: “When I heard the knock on the door Mose (Roberts) was writing a letter on the bed in the corner of the front room. Andy was in the back somewhere. I went to open the door with my eight-month-old baby, Hamp, in my arms. I opened it and Commodore stood there. I didn’t know who he was. He said, “Is Andy here?” I said, “Yes, of course,” and called Andy. “Andy came out of the back room. He wasn’t wearing his gun, it was on the table. He stepped to the door and I was still standing there when it happened. “Commodore Owens said, ‘I want you Andy,’ and that’s all in the world he ever said. He shot with his Winchester rifle almost before he quit speaking. He hit Andy in the stomach. As he fell, the blood saturated my baby and me…” Eva went on to tell how Mose Roberts then jumped out of a window, she wasn’t sure why, but he did. Owens shot him dead. Then Cooper’s 15-year-old brother, Sam, grabbed Andy’s gun from the table and ran out to shoot the Commodore. Cooper’s mother ran out to stop him, but Owens killed him with a shot through the heart. Eva said her husband, John, then started shooting. But instead of hitting Owens, John killed Andy’s horse. Owens then shot John. Eva said the gunfight ended quickly. Cooper died in a day and Roberts died in a week. John recovered. The Blevins’ house still

remains in Holbrook near the train tracks on the corner of Joy Nevin Avenue and Second Street. The street named Bucket of Blood across the railroad tracks seems a more appropriate place name for such a deadly shootout. However, the 26 shooting deaths in Holbrook the year before (1886) the big gunfight provided plenty of other deaths to account for the name. It’s difficult to locate the Blevins house because it’s now a retirement home. There are no tours, but it’s possible to take pictures of the outside. A plaque sits out in front, but instead of commemorating the Blevins’ shooting, it talks about how the street served as the wagon trail first used by explorers and settlers to the area — including the famous expedition of Lt. Whipple, the strange journey of the Camel Corps and the route of the Mormon Batallion. Buildings have sprouted around the house, making it look quite different from historical photos. However, the porch remains and the two front windows make it easy to imagine Cooper coming to the door to meet his death. For the 21st century traveler, Holbrook offers treasures for rock hunters. Folks who love the nostalgia of old Route 66 lovers can still stay at the Wigwam hotel in a concrete tee-pee. I hear the rooms are small but quaint, and it books up quickly. For restaurants, the Butterfield Steakhouse will delight with its quirky old-timeyness. The place remains perfect for the set of one of those old westerns I loved to watch with my dad, with the train speeding through with a roar and a whistle on a regular basis. But the real stories those old buildings harbor make for a different, darker west than the shoot-out at high noon the myth has enshrined.

Horns end decades of despair at Blue Ridge Payson posts first win in Lakeside since 1981 by

Keith Morris

roundup sports editor

LAKESIDE – Payson’s banged up football team walked into the lion’s den on Friday night. And they proved they have the heart of a lion, overcoming injuries to stun mighty Blue Ridge on its home field. Senior quarterback Chaz Davis scored on an 8-yard run with 3:48 remaining to give Payson the lead and the Longhorns’ defense came through with the game on the line for the second straight week as they ended decades of frustration with a dramatic 20-19 victory in Lakeside. The thrilling triumph comes 34 years to the day after Payson’s last victory at Blue Ridge, ending a 10-game losing streak for Payson in Yellow Jacket Stadium. It’s just the fourth win for Payson in its last 28 meetings with the Yellow Jackets. “I’ve played them since middle school and we haven’t beat them in our high school career yet,” said senior offensive guard and defensive tackle Donovan Cross. “It’s one of the greatest feelings I’ve ever felt.” D a v i s said the Longhorns proved what they’re made of with this performance. “Everyone knows that Blue Ridge is one of the toughest places to win football games because of all the fan support and all the state championships they want to hang on the wall and everything,” he

said. “But we have a good team. We hear all the time that Blue Ridge is disciplined. But we just decided we have good coaching, we have good discipline and we were going to do the things we needed to do to get the win here tonight.” The Longhorns improved to 5-1 overall in the Section 1 opener against Blue Ridge (5-1), which entered the game No. 5 in the Division 4 power rankings. Payson was No. 10. Payson hadn’t won in Lakeside since spoiling the Jackets’ homecoming with a 30-0 triumph on Oct. 2, 1981. Payson went on to beat Blue Ridge in the state championship game later that season. Celebrations against Blue Ridge the past three decades have been rare. Blue Ridge won the next 11 meetings following the 1981 season and 20 of the next 21 contests. Payson entered Friday having gone 3-24 against the Yellow Jackets overall since the ’81 title game, with two of the victories coming in the 14-0 2008

season. And most of the losses have been blowouts. When you walk into Yellow Jackets Stadium, there’s no mistaking where you’re at: home of the champions. Stenciled on the wall at the top of the home stands are the years of every one of Blue Ridge’s football championship seasons. With 27 regional crowns and a record 16 state titles, there’s not a lot of spare room. Payson had lost its last four games against the Jackets. And, with star running back Wyatt Chapman out with a hamstring injury suffered in last week’s dramatic win at Flagstaff, Payson entered the showdown without a valuable weapon. To make matters worse, seniors Ruben Estrada and Taran Sarnowski, who were being counted on to pick up the slack at running back with Chapman out, both suffered injuries that knocked them out of Friday’s game. Both are also defensive standouts. “We have heart,” said senior Alex Suarez. “We don’t quit. When (players get hurt and) go out, we play for them. We don’t play for ourselves, we just play for those guys who don’t have the ability to play with us anymore.” With all the injuries, it was understandable if supporters sensed it just wasn’t meant to be when the home team battled back from a 13-0 deficit with three unanswered touchdowns to take a 19-13 lead with 8:04 remaining Friday night. But Davis drove Payson 62 yards in 10 plays to give his team the lead following Kenny Ayers’ extra point. And for the second consecutive week the Longhorns’

At top, Chaz Davis runs up the middle for an 8-yard touchdown that put Payson ahead 20-19 in the fourth quarter. At left, Alex Suarez makes a big catch on third-and-long to put the Longhorns in position to get the first down. Above, Cameron Moore runs the ball with a little help from a blocker. “And with Chaz leading, the team just showed a lot of inner strength, a lot of heart. I couldn’t be happier with them. They’re listening, doing their job only, trusting each other. And who knows what they can do if they keep doing that.” Prior to Friday night’s game, in the 27 games since Payson beat Blue Ridge for the 1981 state title, Blue Ridge has outscored Payson 1,234-391, an average score of 46-15. Blue Ridge had scored 30 or more points in 18 of the previous 27 meetings before Friday. Friday represented only the third time in the last 28 meetings in the series that Blue Ridge hasn’t scored at least 20 points. It’s just the fourth time in

The Pine Strawberry School Buffalo archery team is picking up where it left off last season when it won the National Archery in Schools Program Arizona State Championship and advanced to the national finals in Louisville, Ky. Buoyed by weeks of after-school training under the tutelage of coaches Dean Pederson and Margaret Johnson, a field of 16 Buffalo archers returned to competition Sept. 26 at the Prescott Fun Shoot. In the Mile High City, the Buffalos shot their way to the elementary girls division title by sweeping the top three places. Mackenzie Aguon was first, Kyleigh Fadley second and Winnie Paine third. Aguon, a fifth-grader, shot a 248 that included 5 perfect “10” scores. Fadley finished with a very respectable 220 and Paine contributed to the team effort with a 216. The school did not have any representative

in the elementary boys division, but among the middle school boys Caleb Barlow was second and Hunter Ferguson third. Barlow, one of the standouts on last year’s state championship team, shot a 273 with 10 perfect bullseye scores. This year, Barlow will be shooting for his third consecutive trip to the national finals. Ferguson posted a 254 in Prescott and had eight 10s. In the middle school girls division, Raci Miranda posted more “perfects” than any team member with 11. Her score of 270 earned her a bronze medal finish. Among seventh-grade girls, she was first. Following the archers return from Prescott, school principal/superintendent Cody Barlow lauded their efforts saying, “Several of our shooters shot personal bests on this trip.” The archers return to tournament competition on Oct. 28 when the Buffs host the annual Pine Strawberry Fun Shoot.

the last 28 games of the series that Payson has scored 20 or more points. Although injuries played a big role, the 20 points represents a season low. Injuries also were key in this being the third straight game that the Longhorns have allowed three touchdowns. But extra points proved to make the difference as Ayers converted two of his three kicks with a low snap and fumbled hold resulting in the one miss. Blue Ridge’s kicker, meanwhile, converted only one his three opportunities. Showing his leadership with several of his classmates on the sideline, Davis completed

Say October and what comes to mind? Halloween, of course, when mothers are busy making or shopping for costumes for their little darlings. (Maybe some fathers help with costumes, but I don’t know any.) We seniors, whose children and grandchildren are grown, stock up on candy for Trick-or-Treaters and hope there will be some left over that we have to eat “just so it won’t go SENIOR MOMENTS to waste.” It is fun to Carol Zebb see how excited Roundup columnist the children are dressed up as scarecrows, ghosts, princesses, Spider Man and other TV and movie characters. This year, dinosaur costumes are in, courtesy of the recent Jurassic Park film. It is not inexpensive to outfit your offspring, however — costumes can range anywhere from $20 to more than $100. October is said to have the most pleasant weather of the year. Crisp mornings, warm afternoons and nights that call for getting the down quilt out — or if you are lucky enough to have one, lighting a fire in the fireplace. When I was a child, in the north woods of Wisconsin, autumn was a time for cutting firewood. Wealth was measured by the size of your woodpile, not how much money you had. While I no longer have a

Mogollon Monster 100 a race for only a dedicated few by

Martin Szekeresh

special to the roundup

What isn’t the Mogollon Monster 100-mile race? Well to begin with it isn’t 100 miles. If the most recent GPS readings are correct, it is actually 108 miles. This incredibly difficult foot race with an elevation gain and subsequent loss of

23,000 feet up, down and along the Mogollon Rim started and ended in Pine on Sept. 26 and 27. At 6 a.m. 68 runners — 12 women and 56 men — began the race from the Pine Trailhead. The women ranged in age from 20-59, the men from 23-54. They represented 15 states, Washington, D.C. and Great Britain.

Longhorns overcome injuries in huge win

Keith Morris/Roundup

Alex Suarez brings down Lane Penrod for a touchdown-saving tackle that was one of the key plays in Payson’s 20-19 win. From page 1B several key passes in the winning drive, including a 24-yard strike to Suarez on third-and-3. He found sophomore DiAndre Terry open for a 13-yard aerial over the middle that helped the Horns dig out of a second-and-19 and set up an 8-yard pass to sophomore Shane Law on thirdand-6. Davis finished the drive by running 8 yards up the middle. The Longhorns’ defense came through with the game on the line for the second straight week after watching San Tan Valley Combs connect for a winning touchdown pass on the final play to break their homecoming hearts. But perhaps buoyed by stopping Flagstaff short at the Payson 2 on fourth down to preserve a 32-28 at NAU, the Longhorns forced an incomplete pass with great coverage on third down and also stopped the Jackets on fourth-and-7 from the Payson 37-yard line when quarterback Spencer Wilkening’s pass went just past his receiver’s outstretched hands with 1:10 remaining. Suarez came up with a huge play when he chased down Lane Penrod for a 33-yard gain instead of the 97-yard TD he appeared destined for on the Yellow Jackets’ final possession of the first half. Two plays later, Korben White intercepted Wilkening’s pass near midfield for the game’s only turnover to end the drive. Payson started strong, scoring on its first two possessions. Cameron Moore’s 5-yard run capped a seven-play 80-yard drive before Estrada made it 13-0 on the first play of the second quarter on a 3-yard run to

end an 11-play, 73-yard drive. Blue Ridge ran for 195 yards but Wilkening completed just 3 of 7 passes for 39 yards and an interception. Payson was much more balanced, rushing for 122 yards and passing for 135. Davis missed his target on only two of 10 passes. Payson had no turnovers and enjoyed its best game of the year in penalties, drawing just six for 35 yards — both season lows. In their third consecutive thrilling finish, the Longhorns matched last year’s win total. Blue Ridge fell to 5-1 under first-year head coach and longtime Paul Moro assistant coach Bob London. The Jackets finally watched a team capitalize against them after winning three games by a combined four points. The win leaves the Horns in the thick of the section title chase with Show Low and Snowflake. Show Low fans

Payson players and coaches received a bit of an ovation when the bus pulled into the Show Low McDonald’s on Friday night. “They just beat Blue Ridge,” someone inside the restaurant said. Upon entering, a group of about six local teenagers began clapping for the Longhorns. When head coach Jake Swartwood asked where he could plug in his phone, an employee told him he could plug it in behind the counter since “You beat Blue Ridge.” It won’t be the same when the Longhorns are back to close the regular season on Oct. 30. The Longhorns hope to build on the last two weeks when they return home to face Winslow (3-3) in another Section 1 game at 7 p.m. Friday.

The run course in the Tonto and Coconino national forests travels from 5,200-7,900 feet in elevation and is 82 percent single track, 17 percent forest road and, after crossing under Highway 87 through a culvert, only 1 percent pavement into Pine. Last year’s run was canceled after 50 miles due to severe rainstorms. This year’s event didn’t have rain but did have clear skies and blistering heat of 90-plus degrees under a full moon. It was very hot. According to NPS there is a 16-degree temperature difference between the sun and shade. There are 16 aid stations on the course with four serving hot food. The allowed time for the race is 36 hours and each aid station has a time cutoff, which must be met to continue. The overall winner and first male was 44-year-old Jared Scott from Colorado with a time of 25

hours and 7 minutes. The oldest male finisher was Fred Roberts, 54, from Tucson (34 hours, 35 minutes). The first female runner and new women’s course record holder, was Nadine Haluszczak, 29, from Scottsdale (30 hours, 49 minutes). The oldest female runner was 53-year-old Susan Donnelly from Oak Ridge, Tenn. (33:23). It was a valiant effort by 59-year-old Margaret Dehesse from Phoenix but she missed a time cutoff. Of the 68 who started the race, 48 percent finished in the allotted time. Of those 33 finishers, 28 were men and five were women. Approximately 20 members of the Maricopa County Amateur Radio Club kept track of the runners with Tonto Rim Search and Rescue standing by if needed. There was only one minor injury, a few rattlesnakes but no monsters sighted – this time.
