Major crashes close highways BY
ALEXIS BECHMAN
ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER
L
A rapid-fire succession of major accidents closed both highways 87 and 260 on all sides of Payson at least four times in the last three days. Despite the carnage, none of the accidents proved fatal — although several involved medical helicopter evacuations. The most recent crashes came on Tuesday morning, with traffic still restricted at press time. Early Tuesday, a semi-truck hauling junk rolled on Highway 260 near Christopher Creek crossing from the westbound into the eastbound lanes. The truck spilled
debris across the highway and pinned the driver inside. Hellsgate Fire responded and the driver was airlifted out with multiple injuries. It took hours for the crews to clear the debris and gas which had leaked all over the roadway. Meanwhile, a truck hauling hay caught fire near Sunflower at milepost 218 on southbound Highway 87. The truck fire closed southbound Highway 87. One lane remained closed at press time. The Tuesday morning accidents capped a string of earlier disasters, including two more exSee Pileup, page 2A

An uncommonly large crowd turned out for Monday afternoon’s Payson Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. The topics — updating the general plan to include 760 acres of Forest Service land the town recently annexed from Star Valley and rezoning the Rim Ranch, commonly known as the Fox Farm. A developer wants Payson to annex the 80-acre ranch at the end of Granite Dells Road to set up an industrial area where an ammunition maker wants to ex-
pand from its currently maxedout quarters at the Payson Airpark. Dozens of residents have already spoken out against the development at recent council meetings, some saying the area is too beautiful and pristine to house an industrial area where people currently hike and recreate. Monday’s crowd came ready to lay out their arguments against the rezoning plans. But before taking up the issue, Zoning Administrator Sheila DeSchaaf told the commission and public that the developer has See Industrial, page 12A

A Payson man’s effort to destroy drug evidence is what gave him away. Police last week arrested Rodolfo Alvarez, 40, of Payson, with cocaine reportedly smeared across his face. Det. Leonard “Ski” Kerszykowski with the Gila County Narcotics Task Force spotted Alvarez speeding down Houston Mesa Road on Oct. 7. When the officer walked up to the vehicle, he spotted a straw commonly used to snort drugs inside, said Travis Baxley, task force commander. Alvarez had a white powdery residue around his nose, which he reportedly tried to wipe off. Kerszykowski cuffed Alvarez, but he resisted and fell into a ditch. Kerszykowski called for paramedics to check out Alvarez. He was uninjured. Kerszykowski arrested Alvarez THE WEATHER Outlook: The National Weather Service forecast calls for a sunny to mostly sunny week with highs in the mid to upper 70s and lows in the mid to upper 40s.

on a charge of aggravated driving under the influence. He also arrested another man in the vehicle, Jonathan Martinez, 27, of Goodyear, on charges of possession and use of a narcotic drug, possession of drug paraphernalia and obstructing government operations. There were two children in the vehicle under the age of 15 and two adult women. They were released.

Longhorn band qualifies for state finals Pride of Payson’s 40-hour weeks pay off with victory BY
MICHELE NELSON
ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER
The Pride of Payson Marching Band’s run of 40hour practice weeks paid off this weekend with a win at a regional competition that will earn Payson a chance to compete at the state festival in November. On Saturday, Oct. 11, at the Gilbert Invitational the Pride took second place in Division III. The Arizona Band and Orchestra Directors Association determines the division a high school band performs in by its size. Payson’s 60-person band puts it in Division III along with schools such as Mesquite, Campo Verde, Pinnacle and Valley Vista. The Pride’s show, “The Last Ride Out West,” features a suite of Americana music that includes the “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” “The Magnificent Seven,” “Unsquare Dance,” “Shenandoah” and “How the West was Won.” The performance mixes whimsical choreography with the classic music. At one point, the band members lean to the side and kick a leg up into the air. In other sections, the band crouches down, bowing
their legs. Later on in the performance, the band strikes a pose. The marching band experience bonds students, but that’s not a surprise. Bands historically started as roving groups of musicians that performed at festivals and celebrations. The precursor to marching bands was the military band, which helped direct the movement of troops on the field. Marching bands now retain some of that past military history by marching in formation and responding to orders such as “dress ranks” and “attention.” Even the drum major(s) have a salute. During the awards ceremony at Gilbert, the band members breathlessly awaited the outcome and then cheered drum major Molly Beier as she saluted the judges’ handing her the band’s second place award. A second cheer erupted when the band heard it had scored more than 60 points, which meant they’ll go to the musical equivalent of the state playoffs. Tired, but elated, the band returned to Payson after a 13-hour day of practice and competition — ready to tackle the next gig at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff next weekend.

From page 1A tended highway closures. That doesn’t even count a string of single-car rollover accidents. On Monday night at 6 p.m, a head-on collision between two cars shut down Highway 87 for an hour between the Tonto Natural Bridge turnoff and Buckhead Mesa Landfill. One driver was trapped inside their vehicle and firefighters from Payson Fire and Pine-Strawberry Fire used the Jaws of Life to get them out. “It was a pretty extensive extrication,” said Jim Rasmussen, Payson Fire battalion chief. That driver was flown to a Valley hospital, but their injuries did not appear life threatening, Rasmussen said. The other driver was taken by ambulance to Payson Regional Medical Center. Weekend accidents
An even worse accident over the weekend shut down Highway 260 for three hours. Officials say six people are lucky to be alive after three vehicles slammed into each other Friday night east of Payson. The wreck left many motorists stranded from their destination, some opting to stay over in Payson hotels. On Monday, accident re-constructionists were still trying to figure out what had occurred Friday just before 9 p.m. east of the Lion Springs Road turnoff. Given the position of the vehicles and damage, investigators are perplexed, said Lt. Tim Scott with the Gila County Sheriff’s Office. “It is just odd,” he said. “Usually we can look at an accident scene and tell where the vehicles were heading and how they spun out, but this one it is really hard to tell ... It is just a quandary.” Officials Monday had yet to discuss the wreck with the four passengers or three drivers as some remain hospitalized, but once they are available, it should shed light on what occurred. “The damage to the vehicles is just phenomenal,” Scott said. “I am really surprised that no deaths came out of it, but I guess it is a testament that they were all wearing seatbelts.” One woman reportedly witnessed the wreck, but was so shaken up it was hard to get a statement out of her, Scott said. What she described seeing also does not match up with the how the vehicles ended up.
It appears one vehicle may have crossed the centerline and clipped another. The vehicles involved included a red Ford Explorer, a white passenger vehicle and a Chevy Tahoe. The Tahoe and passenger vehicle were still on the roadway while the Explorer was in the trees with two juveniles and an adult trapped inside, said Dan Bramble, battalion chief with Payson Fire and incident commander. Firefighters used the Jaws of Life to cut the vehicles open and get the passengers out. One juvenile and three adults were in critical condition and another juvenile and adult had injuries, but they were not as serious, he said. Two Native Air and two Air Evac helicopters landed on the highway and airlifted the four critical patients to Valley hospitals. A second juvenile was taken to Payson Regional Medical Center and later airlifted, Bramble said. He did not have an update on their condition, but all were still alive Monday. The majority of injuries were head related or from blunt force trauma, Bramble said. “It was a high force of impact,” he said. Everyone was conscious when crews arrived. Dave Bathke, Hellsgate Fire chief, said because of the number of patients, they depleted all of the ambulances and had to call in Pine-Strawberry Fire to bring down an ambulance. Traffic meanwhile backed up through Star Valley. The Arizona Department of Transportation did a good job handling the road closure, Bramble said. The road was closed until after 10 p.m. Bramble noticed most of the hotels in Payson Saturday morning were full and suspected many motorists had stayed over unsure of when the roadway would re-open.

There were three rollovers Thursday and weather appears to have played a role in all, said DPS Sgt. Weston White. One of the rollovers occurred on southbound Highway 87 near Corvair Curve south of Payson. There was another rollover on Highway 87 that day, but in the northbound lanes coming into Payson, which is unusual, White said. That driver reportedly hydroplaned and lost control. The final rollover Thursday took place north of town at milepost 279 on the Mogollon Rim. Remarkably, no one was seriously injured and none were air transported to the Valley. White said drivers often don’t slow down enough when there is inclement weather.

Payson High School cross-country team was stuck in traffic for three hours after leaving a meet. The Department of Public Safety and Payson Police Department also assisted on scene. Then Saturday morning, a vehicle traveling south on 87 rolled just before the Corvair Curve, around milepost 247, said Bramble. The vehicle rolled several times, crossing the median and landing in the right shoulder of the northbound lanes. The driver had climbed out of the vehicle when firefighters arrived. On Saturday evening, a woman plowed into a tree in front of Fargo’s Restaurant on East Highway 260. The sun reportedly hit the woman’s windshield and she didn’t realize she was driving in the turn lane that leads into Fargo’s. She continued straight and hit a tree. The woman refused treatment on scene.

Payson students making us proud I
t’s all coming together. Last week at the Payson Unified School District debate sponsored by the Payson Tea Party, school board candidate Darlene Younker made a welcome shift in her evolving position on the school district’s budget override. Ms. Younker started her campaign sharply critical of district spending and sounded suspiciously like she would vote against the override. But as she learned more about the override, she shifted to a neutral position — saying the voters should decide but declining to urge a vote one way or the other. But apparently the more she researched the question, the more she saw how desperately the district needs the 10 percent boost in the operating budget the override will provide. The Legislature gave the community the option to support their schools by providing the 10 percent budget boost — which will cost the average Payson property tax payer about $6 a month. The override would extend the existing rate for several more years. So at the last three-candidate forum, she clearly urged voters to support the override, joining Sheila DeSchaaf and Angie Prock in their steadfast and enthusiastic support for the measure. At one point during the candidate forum, former Tea Party President Jim Muir declared that he believes 90 percent of the people in the crowded room will support the override. Meanwhile, our kids seem to be outdoing themselves in demonstrating how much they deserve our support. A new, joyful spirit seems to have set in this year, as the kids pitch in and Superintendent Greg Wyman takes charge. We’d be happy enough to see the Longhorn boys soccer team earn a No. 2 ranking statewide, the Longhorn football team off to such a great start and the Pride of Payson Marching Band winning a slot in the state, postseason competition. But what we really love is the way the drama students congratulated the marching band in the program for marvelous plays like last weekend’s performance of “The Outsiders.” We noticed the way the football player went up into the stands to thank the band for its wonderful support. We love the “One Dream, One Team” T-shirts for the high-kicking soccer team. These youngsters have made us proud this year — with their hard work and unity of spirit. One band parent added up the hours our favorite musicians spent practicing to earn their “excellent” rating in the last two competitions: It worked out to an average of 40 hours a week — a full-time job on top of school and other activities. We have wonderful kids in this town. If you need inspiration, just go to any performance of the band, the drama students or our terrific sports teams. They’re doing their part. Now let’s do ours. Support the override.
FireSafe crusade starts ayson’s FireSafe Committee made its public debut this weekend, with an absolutely vital educational event intended to wake up their fellow citizens — and maybe the town council. Wildland fire expert Jim Paxon headlined the Rumsey Park event intended to convince residents to join the lifeand-death effort to convince property owners and homeowners associations to tackle the dangerous thickets of brush that could turn even a distant wildfire into a searing local tragedy. The committee has tackled the daunting task of educating people about the need to clear their lots to prevent a rain of embers from starting a holocaust that could sweep through town. The attendance proved disappointing — underscoring the scope of the task that lies ahead. But the message came through with frightening clarity for anyone who listened to Paxon’s recounting of the Rodeo-Chediski Fire, for which he served as the public face in his compelling daily briefings throughout that terrible disaster, which destroyed 400 homes and 720 square miles of forest. Only a heroic stand by firefighters who set a 14-mile-long backfire in one day saved Show Low. Paxon offered one example after another that demonstrated that forest thinning, FireSafe brush clearing and fire adapted building codes can save a community from even such a monster as Rodeo-Chediski. Payson has denied the danger — and the need for action for far too long. The town council must immediately adopt a wildlands fire building code and adopt a much tougher stance when it comes to facilitating the cleanup of overgrown lots. The town must also offer much stronger support for the FireSafe Committee.

School district should live within its means EDITOR: Undoubtedly, most of us have noticed how much harder it is to make ends meet lately. In the past few years, the true cost of living has increased significantly as wages and retirement benefits have remained stagnant. If you are one of the many Rim Country residents who are retired or on a fixed income, it has become even more difficult. Unfortunately, there is not much that can be done to change the cost of living, other than voting for those who will take a stand against more spending and less government regulation. There is, however, something that can be done locally. As a Payson resident for over 20 years, I have seen school district budget overrides voted for on what seems like a regular basis. There have been many threats about what will happen if they fail and many pleas made for more money, despite the lack of evidence from any credible study that throwing more money at public education will actually make it better. We have all had to learn to live within our means. The school district needs to live under the same rules as the citizens within the district. I do not have the option of canvassing my town and telling its citizens that I’m running out of money (again) and begging them to give me more of theirs. Threats of loss of programs and services are just that. The PUSD will still exist, students will still get an education, and most will graduate if this, or any future override fails. This is not about the size of the pie (budget), it’s more about how that pie is sliced. Caring for the students is one thing. Paying ever-increasingly higher taxes is something entirely different. If you are concerned about trying to stop the ever-increasing cost of living here, vote no on the district override. Property taxes are high enough. Craig Wallace
Vote for DuVal if you care about public education EDITOR: I had no idea that Doug Ducey chaired the drive to kill Proposition 204, a proposition aimed at establishing a permanent sales tax to fund public education in Arizona. I also did not know that Ducey’s organization accepted $925,000 from a Koch brothers’ front group to defeat this proposition. Doug has represented himself as a “good guy” who would support public education if elected governor. Why the switch? He has declared that he will eliminate the state’s income tax if elected governor. Where will he find funds to support public education if not from a sales tax or income tax? I doubt if he will be willing to increase property taxes. I ask, do we have the proverbial “wolf in sheep’s clothing” in Doug Ducey? Will he give us his winning smile and tell us one thing before the election, but do something else if elected? Will he be happy to follow the Koch brothers’ lead and kill public education in Arizona? I have no idea how much the Koch brothers provided to defeat Ducey’s Republican opponents in the pri-
mary election. It is known that Koch brothers’ front organizations provided most of the funding. These same organizations have already provided upwards of $1.3 million to help Ducey defeat Fred DuVal for governor. I have no idea how much more they will spend this month. It is clear to me that Doug Ducey will be greatly indebted to the Koch brothers if elected governor. What will they expect in return? I think it is time for all of us to wake up and elect someone else to be governor. Our only hope now is to vote for Fred DuVal, a moderate Democrat, for governor. DuVal is well qualified by his previous experience as chair of the Board of Regents, and his platform is based on improving public education in Arizona. We had better vote for Fred DuVal this time if we care about public education! Robert Hershberger
Support mothers that care EDITOR: The school board provides an extremely important function in our community by acting in the best interest of our kids and our community. That is why I am strongly supporting Sheila DeSchaaf and Angie Prock for school board. They were raised in rural towns, not unlike Payson, and really understand the needs unique to a rural setting. They know the importance and have the ability to build consensus to reach decisions as they are leaders in their professions. They will work to keep our kids interested and engaged by ensuring we have good sports, arts and advanced placement programs. Schools must be able to challenge as well as keep students interested in their education. I am confident they will keep politics out of the board policy decisions and truly represent the views of the community as a whole. Their children are currently attending our schools; they are truly mothers that care. Sheila and Angie deserve your support in their campaign to sit on our school board. Leon Keddington
Vote DeSchaaf and Prock EDITOR: Sheila DeSchaaf and Angie Prock deserve our votes for the Payson School Board. They are serious, qualified candidates who will tend to the educational and development needs of our school children in a positive manner. As parents of Payson school children, they have a direct interest in Payson’s schools. They will be meticulous in examining the limited district resources and supporting Payson students, teachers, parents and community members. Sharon Bryant, retired teacher and school principal

posed rule would hit Arizona particularly hard since we have a large number of coal-fired plants. A person’s responsibility on the ACC must be the best interest of Arizona. Little’s position is why “bother trying to reduce emissions in the U.S.” when China and India are weekly increasing coal-fired plants. In other words, just bury your head in the sand. That is the wrong approach for someone running for this position. We need someone who looks at the challenge, develops an approach and seeks solutions that will benefit all our citizens. Little is the wrong man for the job. On a personal note, one reason we moved to Payson was the clean air. Our son, who has asthma, was on six meds when we lived in the “rust belt.” Six months after moving to Payson he was off every one of the meds. Let’s elect someone who is willing to work toward solutions. Tom Loeffler
Small print on flier tells real story EDITOR: Well, at least we finally know where the money is coming from. Legislative District Six has just been bombarded with an expensive mailer touting a trio of right-wing candidates for the state Legislature. While the money isn’t “dark” by some standards, it is certainly illustrative of the way political races are attempting to be bought these days. In small print on the fliers, is the sponsor who is behind the flow of money into the campaigns of the right-wing trio. It is an organization called The American Federation for Children, which claims it advocates for free choice in schools. The actual agenda, however, is to overturn the public school system and replace it with locally controlled charter or private schools. These schools are not required to teach the same curriculum as public schools and are therefore free to advocate studies supporting whatever philosophies the school determines fits a particular political or religious viewpoint. It openly rejects participation from the federal government, indeed seeing the government as an enemy. It rejects any testing standards but its own, and demands that taxpayers subsidize this movement with “vouchers” paying for tuition. It is closely allied with another organization that openly seeks to oppose legislation and legislators who support traditional education. This organization, ALEC, claims to be supported by business, but has been denounced by many iconic American companies such as Coca-Cola, General Motors, Google and Microsoft, to name a few. Do the right-wing candidates actually have children in school? No. Did they suffer from their schooling? Well, if they did, are they really qualified to determine the best curriculum for our children? Of course not. This is an overt effort to control the future of innocent children with narrowminded propaganda tailored to support certain personal viewpoints. We have already seen the result of placing one of these advocates on the Payson School Board. A personal bias and wrongheaded assumption very nearly resulted in hungry children being denied a school lunch in an effort to “reform” or, indeed, punish, some “deadbeat” parents. This is called social engineering, and it is normally decried by a hypocritical right wing that oppose it as a federal ploy. How ironic. We should refuse to allow this attack on our schools.

School board candidates debate standards All 3 contenders now support override, but differ on Common Core BY
PETE ALESHIRE
ROUNDUP EDITOR
Sharp differences on the acceptance of new Arizona College and Career Readiness Standards emerged in the second forum involving all three candidates for a seat on the Payson Unified School District Board before a wellattended session of the Payson Tea Party. Payson town planner Sheila DeSchaaf and physical therapist Angie Prock offer qualified support for the national standards generally known as Common Core. Tea Party president and former California school board member Darlene Younker offered a scathing criticism of the federally backed grade by grade learning standards that have become a flash point of conservative criticism. But perhaps the most newsworthy development lay in the continued evolution of Younker’s position on the district’s plea to the voters to support an extension of the school board override measure on the ballot. If voters reject the override, the average homeowner will save about $6 a month and the district will lose $1.2 million — enough money to pay about 20 percent of its teacher salaries. Younker started the campaign sharply critical of the override request, suggesting the district should “live within its means” and not seek extra help from taxpayers. She then shifted to a neutral position, saying she wanted to leave the decision up to the voters. But on Thursday she said she now sees the need this year for an extension of the override. “I do want to clear up one thing,” said Younker ... I know that it has been said that I’m against the tax override — and that is not true. If I get new information I will reconsider. I have been carefully studying the issue. I believe it is going to pass — and I believe it may well be necessary. But I am going to work diligently to make sure that we don’t have to come back for more money. If we get our state lands back (from the federal government), then we can get more income off those state lands — ranching, logging, mining — that is prohibited to us. Those are our lands and we need to get them back. But I have come to the conclusion

But this is our third override and it’s becoming the new norm.” Both Prock and DeSchaaf both strongly support the override. When the Legislature took over control of most school funding in accordance with a court order, lawmakers included the continually renewed override provision to give local voters some control — and a chance to either support or hold accountable local school districts. It amounts to about 10 percent of the district’s operations budget, 85 percent of which goes to salaries. “I fully support the override,” said Prock. “It would be wonderful if we didn’t need it, but I know the state was faced with some cuts and a lot of those cuts went to education. Our school district faced some very tough decision-making. What I’m hearing is, ‘How can we stretch this dollar? How can we get projectors in the classroom? How can we make room for this teacher who has to teach 26 young children with these short attention spans?’ It would be wonderful if at the state level they would change the funding — but what we need right now for our kids is the override.” DeSchaaf said, “I absolutely support the override. The money goes to our teachers, our students, our programs. The money that goes to our professionals comes back to the community. It keeps our schools competitive. When people are coming into our community, that’s a
huge factor in where people relocate. We need to offer their children a place where they can receive a quality education. The money from the override goes into music and technology. If we don’t have technology in our classroom, we’re not keeping up. It’s also going to keep our class sizes down — I don’t think its going to reduce them — but it will keep an overwhelming class size from getting bigger. We are at a disadvantage (with the lack of private land in Gila County) and we do need to change that. We are also at a disadvantage compared to communities where the home values are higher. But the way we can help in the meantime is to support the override.” Some of the most pointed differences revealed in the respectful and articulate presentations from all three candidates centered on the development of national, academic standards, benchmarked to international norms and broken down by grade level. A coalition of state governments launched the effort to develop researchbased, benchmarked, detailed academic standards. Committees of educators and consultants developed the standards as part of a state-led effort. The federal government then adopted the standards and linked billions in funding to an effort to convince the states to adopt the standards. The adoption comes with a battery of grade-level tests to measure whether students are mastering the standards, which are intended to stress critical thinking skills rather than rote
learning. Arizona had adopted the standards in several areas and the Payson School District has adopted curriculum guidelines developed by the renowned Vail School District near Tucson to help teachers prepare their students for a whole new set of tests based on the adopted standards. However, many conservative groups have become increasingly critical of the standards, even though they incorporate many ideas conservative educational reformers have long advocated — like writing standards based on critical analysis and content-rich study rather than personal expression. Younker blasted the Common Core standards, saying each state should develop its own standards and expectations. “I am not in favor of it. It is a one size fits all approach. It’s top-down instead of bottom up. We have regional differences. We need to embrace those differences. Every state needs to have its own standard. Those standards I have read are very often anti-American. They don’t support the standards our country was founded on. I think they’re detrimental to our children. They were written primarily by three organizations funded by Bill and Melinda Gates. The leading evaluators were not even really actually allowed to validate it after they started making recommendations. The flaws of Common Core are that the standards are content-free skills. The writing and math standards are developmentally inappropriate at many grade levels. It actually
reduces opportunity for critical thinking — it can’t adjust to local or state needs — and the cost to implement was too high. We should go back and tweak the Arizona (AIMS) 2010 standards.” By contrast, Prock said she supports national standards — although she has questions and concerns about the implementation of those standards. “I’m learning a lot about Common Core. I’ve heard some positives and some negatives. I don’t know if I’m in favor, actually. I appreciate using standards to ensure that the education my children are getting is very competitive with the other states in our country — also that they’re internationally benchmarked. I feel that when our students graduate from our schools, they need to be competitive. The thing that I am concerned is the transition for children who have been raised using a different curriculum and teachers letting me know they would like to teach and use their creative methods their own way, but they’re limited by the standards that are set forth. But anything that’s new requires time and effort, so you’ll never know if it’s going to work if you don’t give it your best shot.” DeSchaaf noted, “I’m not opposed to having standards. I don’t feel as strongly against Common Core as Darlene. Our teachers are split on this issue. Parents are split. Everyone is still waiting to see what happens. I don’t think we’ll see what happens until our first-graders are graduating. I would say a lot of thoughtful educators came together in the Vail School District to come up with the Beyond Textbooks. Having common standards that go across the states is beneficial — if I transferred into Arizona from Chicago or Los Angeles — I know what I’m supposed to be learning at that same grade level. I have children who have been in the classroom under the changers and have not struggled. Last night I was playing Trivial Pursuit with my son who is a senior — and he beat me. I think our children are better educated now than we were when I went to school,” she said. This drew scattered cries of “no,” one of the few outbreaks of the night in a debate marked by civility — even goodhumored affection, although the bulk of the crowd knew Younker well, but were hearing Prock and DeSchaaf for the first time. At one point Prock drew supportive laughter when she tried to read a note she’d made and confessed it was illegible because “My hands were shaking.”

Incontinence? You are not alone. FROM
BRET DACOSTA
problem for people who have diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis or stroke. Overflow incontinence happens when small amounts of urine leak from a bladder that is always full. A man can have trouble emptying his bladder if an enlarged prostate is blocking the urethra. Diabetes and spinal cord injury can also cause this type of incontinence. Functional incontinence occurs in many older people who have normal bladder control. They just have a problem getting to the toilet because of arthritis or other disorders that make it hard to move quickly.
RIM COUNTRY HEALTH
Sarah loves to spend time with her friends talking about her grandchildren and going to exercise classes with neighbors. But she’s started to have a problem that keeps her from getting out. It’s embarrassing, but lately Sarah hasn’t been able to get to the bathroom before she wets her pants. She doesn’t know what’s happening, but the problem is keeping Sarah at home. Sarah may have a problem with bladder control called urinary incontinence (the accidental leakage of urine). While it may happen to anyone, urinary incontinence is more common in older people. Women are more likely than men to be incontinent. If this problem is happening to you, there is help. Incontinence can often be cured or controlled. Talk to your health care provider about what you can do.
Treatment
Causes of incontinence
Incontinence can happen for many reasons. For example, urinary tract infections, vaginal infection or irritation, constipation and some medicines can cause bladder control problems that last a short time. When incontinence lasts longer, it may be due to: • Weak bladder muscles • Overactive bladder muscles • Damage to nerves that control the bladder from diseases such as multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s disease • Blockage from an enlarged prostate in men • Diseases such as arthritis that may make it difficult to get to the bathroom in time
doctor. He or she will give you a physical exam and take your medical history. The doctor will ask about your symptoms and the medicines you use. He or she will want to know if you have been sick recently or had surgery. Your doctor also may do a number of tests. These might include: • Urine and blood tests • Tests that measure how well you empty your bladder • In addition, your doctor may ask you to keep a daily diary of when you urinate and when you leak urine. Your family doctor may also send you to a urologist, a doctor who specializes in urinary tract problems.
What’s happening
Types of incontinence
The body stores urine in the bladder. During urination, muscles in the bladder tighten to move urine into a tube called the urethra. At the same time, the muscles around the urethra relax and let the urine pass out of the body. Incontinence typically occurs if the muscles relax without warning.
Stress incontinence occurs when urine leaks as pressure is put on the bladder, for example, during exercise, coughing, sneezing, laughing or lifting heavy objects. It’s the most common type of bladder control problem in younger and middle-age women. It may begin around the time of menopause. Urge incontinence happens when people have a sudden need to urinate and aren’t able to hold their urine long enough to get to the toilet. It may be a
Diagnosis
The first step in treating incontinence is to see a
Today, there are more treatments for urinary incontinence than ever before. The choice of treatment depends on the type of bladder control problem you have, how serious it is, and what best fits your lifestyle. As a general rule, the simplest and safest treatments should be tried first. Bladder control training may help you get better control of your bladder. Your doctor may suggest you try the following: Pelvic muscle exercises (also known as Kegel exercises) work the muscles that you use to stop urinating. Making these muscles stronger helps you hold urine in your bladder longer. Biofeedback uses sensors to make you aware of signals from your body. This may help you regain control over the muscles in your bladder and urethra. Biofeedback can be helpful when learning pelvic muscle exercises. Timed voiding may help you control your bladder. In timed voiding, you urinate on a set schedule, for example, every hour. You can slowly extend the time between bathroom trips. When timed voiding is combined with biofeedback and pelvic muscle exercises, you may find it easier to control urge and overflow incontinence. Lifestyle changes may help with incontinence. You may benefit from: losing weight, quitting smoking, saying “no” to alcohol, drinking less caffeine (found in coffee, tea and many sodas), preventing constipation and avoiding lifting heavy objects.
Management
Besides bladder control training, you may want to talk to your doctor about other ways to help manage incontinence. Medicines can help the bladder empty more fully during urination. Other drugs tighten muscles and can lessen leakage. Some women find that using an estrogen vaginal cream may help relieve stress or urge incontinence. A low dose of estrogen cream is applied directly to the vaginal walls and urethral tissue. A doctor may inject a substance that thickens the area around the urethra to help close the bladder opening. This reduces stress incontinence in women. This treatment may need to be repeated. Surgery can sometimes improve or cure incontinence if it’s caused by a change in the position of the bladder or blockage due to an enlarged prostate. Male incontinence
Most incontinence in men is related to the prostate gland. Male incontinence may be caused by: • Disease or injury • Prostatitis — a painful inflammation of the prostate gland • Damage to nerves or muscles from surgery • Damage to nerves from diseases such as diabetes • Stroke, Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis • Spinal cord injury • Nerve problems which result in an overactive bladder An enlarged prostate gland in men, which can lead to Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH), a condition where the prostate grows as men age. Symptoms of BPH include: • Hesitant, weak and irregular urine stream • Feeling of urgency with leaking or dribbling • Frequent urination, especially at night Over time, BPH can cause serious problems. Treating BPH early may reduce your chance of having urinary tract infections, incontinence, and bladder and kidney stones.
Most advanced bladder control therapy at Rim Country Health RIM COUNTRY HEALTH Choosing the right rehabilitation program and therapy team can play an important role in recovery. The therapy team at Rim Country Health has partnered with Accelerated Care Plus and offers the world’s most advanced techniques for improving bladder control issues. Problems with bladder control or “urinary incontinence” are not a normal part of aging. This condition affects more than 20 million Americans, of which about 85 percent are women. Nearly half of all aging adults have bladder control problems. Unfortunately, most people affected do not seek medical help, either due to embarrassment or because they don’t know that safe and successful treatment exists. Left untreated, urinary incontinence can lead to other more serious health conditions.
leakage by 65 percent to 70 percent among the majority of those people experiencing bladder control problems. In fact, the government’s Agency for Health Care Research and Quality recommends this approach before the introduction of drugs or surgery for bladder control problems. Therapeutic exercises can help strengthen the muscles needed for proper bladder function. Simple exercises for the hip, abdomen and pelvis can strengthen the muscles needed for proper bladder control and help decrease leakage. Therapeutic exercise and electrical stimulation may be used to help increase motion and joint stability. Slow, gentle stretches and simple strengthening exercises alone, or in combination with mild electrical pulses can improve pelvic floor muscle strength.
What treatments can work?
Consider trying this program if you have: • Sudden, strong urges to urinate • Bladder leakage when coughing, sneezing, laughing, moving or exercising • Difficulty controlling the time and place to urinate • Difficulty getting to the bathroom

Thousands of people in Africa have died from the tropical disease Ebola. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has declared this the largest outbreak of the disease in world history. Many people are concerned about Ebola, but the CDC says there’s no sign that an outbreak will happen elsewhere in the world. Only two cases of Ebola have been transmitted outside of Africa. When people with Ebola are correctly diagnosed, isolated and cared for, the risk of passing the disease to others is low. In the meantime, travelers should avoid going to areas where Ebola has been reported. Those who need to travel to these regions should take precautions to avoid becoming infected.
to feel sick with symptoms from the virus. In areas where there is an Ebola outbreak, anyone who isn’t feeling well should get immediate medical help and avoid contact with others. After starting to feel ill, people with the disease are contagious for as long as the virus can be found in their blood and body fluids, even if they recover from the symptoms of the disease. The virus can remain in a person’s body fluids for weeks after recovery.
What is Ebola?
Ebola, or Ebola hemorrhagic fever (Ebola HF), is a contagious and life-threatening disease that affects humans and other primates, like monkeys, gorillas and chimpanzees. It causes the body’s immune system to go into overdrive — which can lead to severe bleeding, organ failure and death. Ebola gets its name from the Ebola River in the Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire). The disease was first reported in a village on the river in 1976. Since then, there have been a few outbreaks of the disease in western Africa, Uganda and Sudan. How it spreads
Doctors aren’t sure how the first person gets Ebola at the start of an outbreak, but they think that people may pick up the virus from contact with infected animals. Tropical animals in Africa believed to carry the virus include other primates, fruit bats, porcupines and forest antelope. Once someone has Ebola, he or she can pass the virus to others in different ways. People can get the virus by handling or touching drops of blood, urine or other body fluids of someone infected with the disease or through contact with objects, such as needles, that have been contaminated with infected blood or fluids. Because of this, Ebola can spread quickly within families and in health centers where caregivers or others don’t wear proper protective equipment, like gloves and masks How contagious is it?
Ebola is contagious, but not as contagious as the influenza (flu) virus. With Ebola, a person is only contagious after he or she starts
toms and has been in an area where Ebola is known to exist, he or she needs to be immediately isolated from other people and examined by trained health professionals wearing the proper protective gear. Doctors can check for the presence of the Ebola virus by performing a number of blood tests, liver function tests, or virus isolation tests in a laboratory. Treatment
Most people who get Ebola need intensive care in a hospital or other well-equipped medical center. Treatment involves keeping them well hydrated, maintaining their oxygen and blood pressure levels, replacing lost blood through transfusions, and treating symptoms and complications as they come up. Patients also need to be isolated from the public during treatment to help prevent the disease from spreading. Some experimental treatments for Ebola have been effective when tested on animals, but are not officially approved for use in people. Prevention
Signs and symptoms
The first signs of Ebola can appear from two to 21 days after someone has been exposed to the virus. Most people’s symptoms begin eight to 10 days after exposure. Early symptoms of Ebola include: • fever • headache • joint and muscle aches • weakness and tiredness • sore throat • chills As the disease progresses, other symptoms can appear, including: • bleeding inside and outside of the body • nausea and vomiting • diarrhea • skin rash • chest and stomach pain • trouble with breathing or swallowing In its later stages, Ebola can lead to severe bleeding, shock, coma, organ failure and death, usually from low blood pressure. Diagnosis
An early and accurate diagnosis of Ebola is important to help prevent the spread of the disease. But because early symptoms are similar to those caused by other common diseases, it can be hard to diagnose Ebola quickly. If a person has Ebola symp-
There is no vaccine to prevent Ebola, although doctors are working on developing one. It can be hard to prevent the disease since doctors aren’t entirely sure how it infects people at the start of an outbreak. The best way to guard against Ebola infection is to avoid areas that have had outbreaks. Those traveling to Africa, particularly West Africa, should first check the CDC’s Ebola website to see where Ebola is present and avoid those regions. Those who have to go to an area where Ebola is present should avoid contact with infected people, wash their hands often, and not touch or eat wild animals (sometimes called “bush meat”). Those working with Ebola patients must wear a mask, gloves, eye shields and other protective clothing. Public health measures are focused on isolating and treating people who are infected with the Ebola virus. Any needles or other equipment used in their treatment should be disposed of properly. The remains of those who die from the disease must be kept isolated and buried promptly by trained professionals wearing full safety gear. Ebola is one of the deadliest diseases known to mankind. But with early, aggressive treatment and new breakthroughs, doctors are having more success than ever treating it. And with the possibility of a vaccine on the horizon, Ebola eventually might go the way of smallpox and other diseases that are no longer a threat.

soup just makes me feel better. Tastes like love in a bowl. Jewish Chicken Soup from motherwouldknow.com 1, 3- to 4-pound whole chicken, bones, skin and giblets included 1 to 2 carrots (whole) 1 to 2 stalks of celery 1 to 2 onions skins removed and sliced in half 1 to 2 by leaves A few sprigs of parsley Salt Freshly ground pepper Place veggies and chicken into pot with wide bottom and snug lid. Fill with enough water to leave 2 to 3 inches at the top, so water will not bubble over. Cover the pot, at least partially, and bring to a slow boil, just under a rolling boil. After a bit, the water will have foam on it because of the fat. Take a spoon and skim off the foam discarding it anywhere but down the drain. A disposable container, such as an empty milk carton will work. Do this several times in the first 2 to 30 minutes of the boiling process.
Lower heat to keep the soup at a simmer. Continue to simmer the soup for the next 2 to 3 hours with the lid covering the pot but loose enough to allow steam to escape. The soup will, at first, have no color, but as time goes on, it will turn yellow. If interested in only using the broth, pour the soup through cheesecloth to separate the veggies and chicken from the broth. If using the veggies and chicken is preferred, either mash up the water logged veggies and meat or return to the broth. Some people prefer to discard the meat and veggies used to make the broth. They then add fresh cooked chicken and veggies, maybe even some rice or pasta to the broth. Enjoy a bowl of homemade love. Grandma’s Lithuanian Chicken Soup Recipe from healthbulletin.org/colds_flu/colds2.htm 1, 5- to 6-pound stewing hen or baking chicken 1 package of chicken wings 3 large onions 1 large sweet potato 3 parsnips 2 turnips 11 to 12 large carrots 5 to 6 celery stems 1 bunch parsley Salt and pepper to taste Place chicken in a really large pot. Fill with cold water and bring to a boil. Add chicken wings, onions, sweet potato, parsnips, turnips and carrots. Boil about an hour and a half removing fat regularly. Add the parsley and celery. Cook about 45 minutes longer. Remove the chicken, which is no longer used for the soup. Put the vegetables in a food processor until chopped fine or pass them through a strainer. Add salt and pepper. Enjoy!

We did because we don’t want to see what they will lose. Paid for by Payson Kids Count
Payson’s economy continues to mend from the long recession, with a surge in construction, restaurants and accommodations. Sales tax receipts have risen 5 percent for the first quarter of the fiscal year compared to the same period last year. But the improvement seems to accelerate over the summer, with total sales jumping 8 percent in July compared to the same month last year. Leading the charge in July was a 72 percent increase in construction and a 15 percent increase in accommodations and a 9 percent increase in retail sales. The figures showed strong signs of economic growth for the July-September period. That includes a whopping 126 percent increase in fees relating to building activities and a 77 percent increase in plan review fees — which reflects construction projects in the pipeline. In addition, while local sales rose 5 percent for the threemonth period, state-shared sales taxes rose only 3 percent. That’s an indication that after lagging, Payson’s economy is slightly outperforming the statewide economy. Nonetheless, Payson in the first three months of the fiscal year spent about $370,000 more than it collected in revenues — eroding its reserve fund down to $840,000. The gap came from paying some bills early and an overly optimistic revenue projection, since town spending actually remains about 20 percent under the adopted budgets of the various departments.

Town revenue surged for the first quarter of the fiscal year, with construction leading the charge with a 72 percent increase. Payson has a general fund budget of about $13.7 million annually, which doesn’t include the $5.6 million water department fund. The police department’s $4.8 million budget accounts for 35 percent of the town’s general fund budget. The fire department’s $3.3 million accounts for about 25 percent of the total budget. Both remain well under budget for the fiscal year to date, despite a rash of hirings. Nonetheless, those two departments account for nearly twothirds of town spending. The town also spends about $1.1 million on “central services,” which covers benefits for town workers — many of them police officers and firefighters. Payson Financial Manager Hope Cribb noted that some departments look over budget in the raw figures, but mostly that’s because they made big purchases early. For instance, the engineering department bought a $56,000 crack seal machine, the police
department bought a $32,000 mobile repeater and the water department spent an extra $50,000 on the C.C. Cragin pipeline. The September financial tracking report featured heartening signs of an economic improvement for the region, particularly in the construction sector — once the mainstay of the economy. Here’s a rundown of the town tax collections by category, including the percentage increase for the same July-AugustSeptember period in 2013: • Local sales tax: Up 5 percent to $1.2 million. • State-shared income tax: up 8 percent to $463,000. • State-shared sales tax: Up 3 percent to $217,000. • Vehicle license tax: Down 27 percent to $153,000. • Construction-related permits: Up 126 percent to $80,000. • Plan review fees: Up 77 percent to $39,000. • State-shared gas tax: Up 8 percent to $523,000.
Tonto Basin woman sent to prison for DUI A Gila County Superior Court judge has sentenced a Tonto Basin resident to a 2.5-year prison term for drunk driving. Frances Busby, 54, was arrested by Gila County Sheriff’s deputies for aggravated drunk driving on March 22, 2014. Officers got a tip that she was was driving with a suspended license in the area of Tonto Basin.
Further investigation determined Busby had illegal drugs in her system and was driving while impaired. Busby has a prior conviction for possession of drug paraphernalia in 2013. County Attorney Bradley Beauchamp commended the Gila County Sheriff’s Office for its investigation which led directly to Busby’s successful prosecution.

Cody Rislund as Sodapop and Larissa Popke as Sandy share an emotional moment as Sandy tells Sodapop she has to move away during a scene in this weekend’s PHS Theatre production of “The Outsiders.” Becker required each cast member to role-play for the duration of play preparation. “We were in character in class all day,” said York. “Everyone became their character.” David Friday, who played TwoBit, said Becker worked one-onone with the cast members to lock in the quality of their performance. “He would ask me, ‘Why is that important to Two-Bit?’” said Friday, “We had to think of the total back story (to our characters).” Both York and Friday praised Becker for his creative response developing tension between the two groups. To create tension, he did an off-stage battle between the socs and greasers. “They had a scavenger hunt and bought me things,” said Becker. He admitted he was not above accepting bribes, such as pizza. Who won the competition? “The greasers bought me more stuff,” he said with a sly smile. Friday said this was the most relaxed opening night he has ever

Sniffles erupted as the curtain fell on the Payson High School Theatre production of “The Outsiders.” No wonder. The final scenes of the emotionally charged play feature redemption, understanding, and hope for teenagers struggling to understand life. Susan E. Hinton wrote the story of two high school groups separated by economics when she was 16. Although not a member of any gang when she wrote the book, Hinton counted as many of her friends “Greasers,” kids from the wrong side of the tracks dealing with abuse, crime and social stigma. Hinton also knew many of the “Socs (so-shez)” short for socials, but she did not claim to belong to their ranks, either. In the play, the Socs had nice cars, fancy clothes and spent much of their time partying and drinking. Like many of the other cast members, student director Newman Becker read “The Outsiders” while in middle school. He said it made a lasting impression, which prompted him to take on orchestrating the production. “We pulled a lot of inspiration from the book while adding a bit of our own,” he told the audience before the play. One of the key elements of the production — a strong cast. Becker cast many of his longtime friends in roles. Brothers Cody and Cameron Rislund played Darry and Sodapop, brothers to lead character Steven Martinez’s Ponyboy. All three have worked with Becker for years on Team ExYo, a championship winning yo-yo group. Another Team Ex-yo member included Daniel Walling as Randy (a soc). Cast member Kiki York said

Annual art show arrives with autumn BY
TERESA MCQUERREY
ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER
Autumn has arrived in Rim Country and with it comes one of the area’s biggest arts events — the Payson Art League ARToberFEST Fine Art & Fine Craft Show & Sale. The event is at the Mazatzal Hotel & Casino Event Center Friday, Oct. 17, Saturday, Oct. 18 and Sunday, Oct. 19. The show is open from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., Friday and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. This year, the PAL ARToberFEST has longtime Payson resident Conrad Okerwall as its featured artist. He will be joined by 20 other artists (see list at bottom right), some from the Rim Country, others from elsewhere. All are juried into the show. About Okerwall
Conrad Okerwall was part of the Rim Country and Western lifestyle long before coming to the area in 1988. He was a collector of Zane Grey books — for the art on the dust jackets — and stood out at his advertising agency in Chicago in his cowboy garb. In fact, the tales Zane Grey told in his many novels were what drew Okerwall to Payson from the Windy City. Conrad Okerwall A graduate of the American Academy of Art in Chicago, a member and past president of PAL, Okerwall paints and draws in the mood of the Rim Country. He is known as a Western artist, but he does not limit himself. One of his favorite works is a scene of birdwatchers intently peering through binoculars out in the field, while their prey observes them from tree behind them. One humorous piece is called “Horse Power” and features three downtrodden cowboys pushing an old, blue pickup up the street. Both scenes — the birdwatchers and cowboys — were actually witnessed by Okerwall, committed to memory and brought back to life in his studio, The Sleeping Artist Indian Hill Studio. Okerwall works in many mediums, including acrylics, pen and ink/watercolors, pencil and pastels. However, he said his favorite medium is acrylics. His Western art features people and scenery, but he also has a large number of Zane Grey portraits in his portfolio and does commission work as well. He was commissioned by a fellow member of the Zane Grey Society to design a book cover and has also done a couple of commissioned portraits. “I enjoy all of it,” he said. While Okerwall does not teach, he is willing to give some advice to aspiring artists: “Study other artists’ work. Subscribe to art magazines. Take a class in drawing, which is very important. You have to know how to draw.” The monies collected annually (approximately $2,000) from Payson Art League event raffles are used to purchase art supplies for Payson Head Start, Julia Randall Elementary School, Payson Community Christian School, The Shelby School (Tonto Village), Payson Center for Success, Payson Community Kids, Tonto Basin School, The Son Shine Club and Whispering Hope Ranch. The funds are also used to buy library books for the three elementary schools. For information, contact Edna Harmon at (928) 474-5554 or visit paysonartleague.org.

FireSmart event helps prepare for wildfires
From page 1A
Service during the devastating Rodeo-Chediski Fire. “That fire sucked up burning branches the size of my arm, carried them a mile and half and dropped them down to start more fires,” said Paxon of the terrifying behavior of a 2000-degree crown fire in the desperately overgrown forests of the White Mountains. The fire sometimes created unimaginable pillars of fire 600feet high, casting flame and embers in every direction. His book, “The Monster Reared Its Ugly Head” details the devastating impact of that fire. The Rodeo-Chediski Fire consumed 720 square miles, destroyed 400 homes, cost $43 million to fight and forced the evacuation of 35,000 people living in Heber, Show Low, Pinetop and other communities. Paxon headlined the event intended to build community support for making Payson Firewise by clearing brush and trees around homes. The lightly attended event featured Paxon’s compelling, two-hour presentation and a host of exhibits in Rumsey Park — including an impromptu demonstration of thinning techniques involving some of the overgrown trees in the park. Payson has done far less to encourage residential lot thinning than the unincorporated community of Pine. However, the Payson Town Council is considering changes in the fire code to make it harder for wildfires to spread through town. The town is reportedly also considering changes in its ordinances to give it more power to force people to clear overgrown lots. In the meantime, the town has encouraged the volunteer citizens committee that staged the Saturday event. Other forested communities like Prescott and Flagstaff already have localized wildlands building codes that bar things like easily flammable roofs and building materials, overhanging open porches and open attic ventilation. Paxon said a century of bad decisions has resulted in desperately overgrown forests and replaced the frequent, 800-degree fires that “creep” along the

town owner with nobody there.” Paxon’s talk and searing photos underscored the deadly risk a community runs when it doesn’t adopt tough building codes and thin the thickets of trees. He showed a nighttime photo of the home owned by Navajo County Manager Jimmy Lane, an old firefighter who built to a Firewise standard with a metal roof, fire-resistant building materials and all the trees cleared away close to the house. In the background, the images show the glow of the flames consuming his neighbor’s house surrounded by trees. “Jimmy’s house survived the fire. Here you see Earl’s house. Now Earl just loved his pine trees. He’s a computer guy from the Valley. Earl came up to his paradise in the White Mountains. He didn’t want to see his neighbors over there. He said, I want my trees. I love my trees. Yep, Earl loved his trees.” Paxon said firefighters barely saved Show Low. The fire jumped the last good fire line some nine miles south of Show Low, with nothing to stop it. In an extraordinary 20-hour stretch, firefighters set backfires along 14 miles of road. The oncoming fire front was creating its own weather. The rising plume of superheated air drew in cooler air from every side, drawing in the controlled fires. Only that desperate measure saved Show Low, said Paxon. “This was an heroic effort,” said Paxon, led by a revered fire captain Rick Lupe. Tragically, Lupe died a year later when a controlled burn got out of control in a deadly flashover. “Those crews pretty well shut that fire down — or it would have gone right through Show Low and been a 700,000-acre fire.” He said towns like Payson must prepare for the worst and forest managers must use controlled burns and a revived logging industry to thin millions of acres of dangerously overgrown forests. “Mother Nature will help us if we work with her. If we’re smart, we’ll understand her limits. The fire is going to come. It’s not if, it’s when. It’s up to you to follow Mother Nature’s mandate.”

SPECIAL TO THE ROUNDUP
Weeks of selfless preparation and planning paid huge dividends last week with the smashing success of the inaugural Wine Around the Library benefit. The Oct. 11 benefit drew 150plus people who donated $20 each to enjoy wine, chocolates and cheeses inside the friendly confines of the Isabelle Hunt Memorial Library in Pine. In the lead-up to the fundraiser, Library Manager Becky Waer, her staff and members of the governing board said they worried about the success of the first such event they’d ever organized. Those anxieties went for naught as enthusiastic residents turned out in droves to enjoy a selection of donated wines, snacks and old-fashioned hometown camaraderie. Most showed up early, about 3 p.m., and stayed until closing time, dusk, to enjoy a rousing charity event that could become a staple on the town recreational and social calendar. Waer said, “People were coming up to me and saying we should have them more often, quarterly, maybe even monthly.” That decision will rest with the library’s nine-person governing board. “We meet on Wednesday (tomorrow, Oct. 15) and we’ll decide that,” said Waer. Part of the financial success

changed plans. Instead of seeking a rezoning through the Town of Payson, the property owners now want Gila County to rezone the parcel from residential to industrial before the annexation takes place. The Rim Ranch currently sits in an unincorporated area of the county. Forest Service land, the Town of Star Valley and now Town of Payson land border it. The developer and land owner recently had Payson annex 760 acres from Star Valley. This includes the only major road into the area, Granite Dells Road. They then planned to ask the town to annex the Rim Ranch and have the council re-zone it for industrial. The developer recently gave the town notice that it plans to go to the county for re-zoning instead. The issue will likely now go before the county’s planning and zoning commission and then the county board of supervisors for approval. The earliest the county would take up the issue would be Nov. 20. If the county approves the industrial re-zoning and Payson eventually annexes in the Rim Ranch, it would come into the

of the afternoon can be attributed to the generosity of those who donated the wine and helped stage the event including The Randall House, Sidewinders Tavern and Grill, THAT Brewery, Painted Lady Vineyards, Pine Ice, Trident Winery and a dedicated group of volunteers.

DeSchaaf said the Payson Planning and Zoning Commission and Payson Town Council will still go forward with the re-zoning request hearings because they have been filed and the town doesn’t know if the developers will change their minds again. The Planning and Zoning Commission Monday decided to table the issues until its Nov. 10 meeting. The town council will meet Thursday at 5:30 p.m. to discuss the Rim Ranch. Several residents Monday voiced their opinions. One resident said she thinks the developer decided to go through the county for re-zoning instead of the town in hopes the county will prove more lenient and fewer residents will show up to oppose it. One resident said he felt Payson Mayor Kenny Evans was running the town and ignoring the residents’ concerns. Another resident said the council and mayor have overstepped their boundaries. Commissioner Lori Myers thanked the crowd for attending and implored them not to give up. She encouraged residents to stay informed and involved.

Jason Sweet thought his football playing days ended with Payson High’s 24-21 loss to Show Low in the final game of the 2006 season. But eight years later, the 26-year-old made his collegiate debut for the University of Arizona in the Wildcats’ 28-26 loss to Southern Cal in Tucson on Saturday night in a game televised by ESPN 2. He played on the kickoff and kick return teams for the Wildcats, who suffered their first loss of the season to fall to 5-1. U of A entered the game ranked No. 10 in the AP Top 25 after last week’s upset of No. 2 Oregon, but slid to 16. In the Amway Coaches Poll, the ’Cats fell from No. 13 to 17. “I’m on top of the world,” Sweet said in a telephone interview a few days before the USC game. He’s certainly been all over the world to get to this point. Sweet, whose mother, Cheryl, lives in Strawberry, spent most of the last seven years as an Air Force Special Operations Pararescue Jumper. “We scuba dive, parachute, free fall, shoot, climb mountains, do confined space and rope rescues and we are all battlefield surgeons and paramedics,” said Sweet, a sergeant who switched from full-time to part-time duty to pursue his degree in pre-medicine and will complete his military service on Oct. 15. “Our job is to rescue pilots and personnel that have importance to our governments that are isolated behind enemy lines or are in need of rescue and no one else has the capability to get them out of that situation.” Among his missions was rescuing a wounded British soldier under enemy fire in the middle of a poppy field in Afghanistan, as well as responding to a landslide in Pakistan. It’s a grueling ordeal to become a PJ, as they’re known. Of the 150 men he started with, he was one of only 14 to make it through an initial tryout, boot camp, a two-and-a-half-month Pararescue Indoctrination, and two-and-a-half-years of schooling. His father, Maurice, is a former PJ and re-enlisted at the age of 43 to serve with his son. “The coolest part about this is we were sergeants on the same team in Tucson,” he said. “They don’t allow you to go on missions together, but we got to jump out of planes and shoot guns together.” Sweet, who is majoring in molecular biology with an eye on medical school, actually figured he’d wind up as a professional baseball player when he starred as a pitcher at Payson and earned a full scholarship from Grand Canyon University to play baseball. But a shoulder injury ended that dream in 2008. However, after years away from the game, he gave it another go. “I actually had a scholarship offer from the University of New Mexico my junior year of high school, and last year I went to UNM and I told them I was getting my arm back in shape and I wanted to play baseball and I asked if they would sign me,” Sweet said. “They said, ‘Well, you haven’t played baseball in four and a half years, so go play for Pima Community College and we’ll watch you all season and, if you have a good season we’ll give you a scholarship.’” Two months into that endeavor at Pima CC in early 2013, he suf-

The Longhorns cleaned up a penalty problem that’s plagued them all season. PHS entered the game averaging nine penalties for 99 yards but drew just five for 40 yards. It’s just the second time all season the Horns haven’t drawn at least 10 flags. Dalton Brunson, Trey Glasscock and Taran Sarnowski all had eight tackles to lead the Longhorns.

From Afghanistan to U of A football
GLOBE – Payson’s offense has powered the Longhorns to a 5-2 football record this season. But an improving defense also shone bright in Friday’s 48-0 win at Globe, posting the program’s first shutout since a 17-0 whitewashing at Sedona Red Rock on Sept. 28, 2012. Payson held Globe to 48 rushing yards, including 14 in the second half in winning for the fourth week in a row. “It’s nice to get, but the boys have better games in front of them to play still,” said PHS head coach Jake Swartwood of the shutout. The Longhorns, who have already topped last year’s 4-7 record with three weeks remaining in the regular season, seem to be putting everything together at the right time. They appear to be firing on all cylinders entering Friday’s 7 p.m. showdown against visiting Snowflake (6-1), which beat Fountain Hills 63-29 on Friday. The teams are tied for first place in the Division 4 Section 5 standings at 2-0. Blue Ridge beat Show Low 36-29 to leave both teams 1-1 in the section. Fountain Hills and Globe are both 0-2. Payson ran for 361 yards and finished with 527 yards of total offense. Chaz Davis ran nine times for 147 yards and three touchdowns, all in the first half, while Wyatt Chapman rushed for 76 yards and two TDs on 12 carries and caught a 67-yard screen pass for another score. Ruben Estrada capped the scoring on a 6-yard run with 5:00 left in the third quarter. C. Davis completed 4 of 8 passes for 116 yards and the one TD before Matt Davis finish up at quarterback, completing 2 of 3 for 50 yards. Payson fumbled four times, losing three of them. Two of those

PHS boys prevail in ‘worst’ game of year No. 2 Horns host No. 6 Holbrook tonight BY
KEITH MORRIS
ROUNDUP SPORTS EDITOR
Staying focused against every opponent can be difficult for a team enjoying a strong season. It’s easy to lose some of the energy and edge that helps you beat the foes you feel will present the biggest challenges and the rivalry games. Payson’s boys soccer players certainly were up for a 4-0 win over perennial state powerhouse Lakeside Blue Ridge four nights earlier and rode that emotion to what is believed to be the first victory over the Yellow Jackets ever. But the Longhorns didn’t seem to have that same pep in a game against Arizona College Prep on Saturday afternoon at Rumsey Park.
The Knights actually led 2-1 early in the second half of a game tied 1-1 at halftime. However, senior captain Trevor Clawson stepped up big with the game on the line, tying the score with a thunderous shot into the back of the net from 40 yards out with 14:59 remaining and booming a penalty kick past the helpless ACP goalkeeper to put the home team ahead 3-2 with 5:49 on the clock after Spencer Herrera was dragged down near the goal. The Longhorns held on for the victory to improve to 8-1 in power points games and maintain their No. 2 state ranking. “The boys were flat,” said PHS coach Chris Avakian. “But I’m proud of them for fighting through the adversity and prevailing. “That was, by far, our worst game of the year. I mean, that was a team that we should have put five or six goals on, and to put three and let them put two; our goalie had an off day, our midfield had an off day, our whole team had an off day, and we still prevailed. Like I told the kids, ‘When
you have an off day and you prevail, that means you’re a good team. You have to do those things in order to win.’” Clawson’s first goal not only provided the Longhorns with an emotional lift, it also demoralized the Knights, according to Coach Avakian. “When you’re behind, that’s the tide that turns the whole game,” Avakian said. “He does that kind of stuff all the time because he comes to play every game, regardless of circumstances.” And picking Clawson, a defender who also drew an assist on Javier Jacobo’s first-half goal, to take the PK wasn’t a difficult choice. “He’s got the hardest shot; I’ll take the odds with my guy with the hardest shot,” the coach said. “Nine times out of 10 in practice he makes those. So I was hoping that was one of the nine.” PHS played without three starters as Taylor Wallace suffered an injury in the Longhorns’ 4-1 win at Camp Verde on Thursday, Nathan Cluff had to miss the game after receiving a red card in that game, and Tanner Dendy suffered a knee injury. “We didn’t start out good, probably because we were thinking it was going to be an easy game, but we’ve got to play hard every game,” said senior captain Felix Cruz. “We needed to be more focused. This is a wakeup call. We’ve got to come out strong every game.” PHS controlled the game, firing more shots than the Knights, who played more of a defensive game. But many of the Longhorns’ shots sailed over the goal, and others went wide. “We had possession of the ball most of the time, we just had bad shots,” Cruz said. The Horns improved to 4-0 in Section 3 play with three section games remaining. The Longhorns host No. 6 Holbrook (8-1) at 6 p.m. today in a non-section game and close the regular season with three section games: at home against Thunderbird Adventist at 6 p.m. Thursday, at Flagstaff Northland Prep at 12 p.m. Saturday and at Chino Valley at 3 p.m. on Oct. 23 against the No. 1 Cougars, the defending state champs who won 4-1 at Payson on Sept. 20. That game didn’t count in the Section 3 standings. This one will.

It’s a complex defense and it takes time and commitment to learn it — at least a year.” He may be new to the team, but that’s not stopping him from trying to be a leader. “I am a devout Christian and I said, ‘Lord, if you give me this opportunity, I will be a leader, I will help solidify this team by using my leadership skills,” Sweet said. “So I have a big responsibility because I promised.” Arizona tight ends and special teams coach Charlie Ragle said Sweet’s dedication is hard to miss. “He’s here for a couple of reasons: to get an education and to play football, and he’s clear about that, and there’s no distractions, so you’re going to get the best of out of him,” Ragle said. “One of the things that sets him apart is his determination to want to be good and his attention to detail. Those are things you try and instill in young guys. With his military background, he has that experience already, and that makes it a lot easier to coach and teach him.” Ragle said other players can’t help but be affected by Sweet’s presence. “It’s an inspirational story,” the coach said. “Any time you’ve got a guy with his work ethic and character, it’s infectious.”
Sweet said coming back to the game at this stage of his life has been a blessing. “It’s really the experience I’ve had that gives me an advantage; knowing how to give 100 percent in everything you do,” he said. “If I was 19, I wouldn’t have the same work ethic I do now. I spend hours going over film with coaches; I care about my teammates and am always early. When I was 19, I didn’t know what it was like to be humble and how to add to the team and glorify them before myself. A lot of maturity was gained in my experience in the military.” He said it’s his maturity that’s

fueled his quick rise up the depth chart. “A lot of my new teammates joke around about how my intensity on the field comes from being in combat and being ‘crazy,’” Sweet said. “I tell them my intensity comes from the fact that I know what it’s like to have my football career end and what it is to feel that you’ll never get that love and that passion back. This is my second chance, my reckoning, my opportunity to do everything I should have done in the past. My time to play every day 100 percent and nastier, faster, and want it more than anyone I oppose on the field has come.”

PHS suffers painful loss to Snowflake, beats Show Low BY
KEITH MORRIS
ROUNDUP SPORTS EDITOR
Payson’s volleyball team suffered a big blow with an 18-25, 1425, 17-25 loss at home to Snowflake on Wednesday, Oct. 8. The Longhorns need to win most of their remaining games to qualify for the Division 3 state tournament. They stood at No. 16 in the power rankings that seed the tournament as of Sunday. The top 16 teams qualify. But what hurts even more is that junior Tessa Hintze suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in one of her knees in the second set that will sideline her for the rest of the season, as well as for the upcoming girls basketball season. “The Snowflake loss hurt a lot,” said coach Arnold Stonebrink. “Not only was it a pretty decisive loss, but the knee injury to middle hitter Tessa Hintze ended up being a torn ACL. It’s a huge loss for Payson sports. It’s a big blow for coach (Miles) Huff, as Tessa was a strong, integral part of the (girls basketball) team. And it’s a big loss for us too; Tessa was our No. 1 hitter statistically, hitting at a powerful .241 rate, and was one of the state’s top blockers.” The Longhorns also played without Sara Novack, who missed the Snowflake game because of illness. Snowflake was solid all around, but their hitting was fantastic, led by one of the state’s best hitters, outside hitter Emma Tenney,” Stonebrink said. “She tore through our defense with a barrage of kills, and mixed them up well; we couldn’t rely on a particular blocking position nor particular digging position to stop her.” But the coach said strong back row play highlighted the evening for PHS. “The girls passed and dug well,” he said. PHS served 96 percent but the Lobos passed well so the Horns weren’t able to capitalize on that strong serving most of the match. Snowflake’s big blocks and “superb” digging frustrated the PHS hitting attack, and Payson hit only .068. Snowflake, No. 4 in the power rankings as of Sunday, also beat Payson’s JV team 25-21, 18-25, 15-9 and the Lobos handed the

PHS didn’t have time to feel sorry for themselves with a game at Show Low the next night. The Longhorns responded with a 2517, 25-13, 25-17 thrashing of the Cougars. “I considered it a must-win,” coach Stonebrink said. “The win kept alive our aspirations for state. I figure we probably have to finish 4-1 to earn a trip to the playoffs. We have arguably our biggest game of the year Monday (Oct. 13) against Flagstaff Coconino. The Longhorn hitters were “on fire,” according to the coach, as the team hit a “stellar” .307, with every player hitting at least .250. Klara Sorensen, Sam Sokol, McKenna Crank and Emma Creighton led a solid, consistent Payson passing attack that “enabled us to us to run our potent offense,” the coach said. “We had only two serve receive errors in 39 attempts.” Payson also had a “grand” night serving, dropping 10 aces.
