Shot in the face and left to die on the side of the road.

A loveless marriage filled with years of emotional and verbal abuse and threats to take away the children.

These stories dominated Wednesday night’s annual Time Out Shelter domestic violence walk and subsequent meeting held at Expedition Church.

But despite the suffering described, the group’s message was clear: we are not victims — we are survivors and this is how you can also survive or help someone else.

Donovan Christian, Expedition Church pastor and domestic violence survivor, said the event sheds light on something that happens

Two men drown at Fossil Creek One man tries to rescue other, both pulled under falls by

roundup staff reporter

Two men from California drowned at the popular Fossil Creek waterfall Saturday after one man went in to save the other from drowning and the current pulled both under.

Members of the Gila County Sheriff’s Office Dive Team removed the bodies of Jainish Kumar Patel and Bhavesh Patel, who were in their early 30s and both of San Jose, Calif., from the deep pool below the falls Sunday morning.

The men were visiting the area with a group of seven family and friends, among them one of their wives, an 18-month-old child and a 7-year-old boy, said Gary Morris, fire chief with the Pine-Strawberry Fire District.

They were reportedly playing in the shallow, lagoon-like area below the falls when one of the men slipped and went into a deeper section of the pool. Morris said it is difficult to gauge the depth of the water in the area as it drops off rapidly from the shallow area into a deep pool directly below the falls.

Payson’s Got Longhorn Pride

Both men were reportedly not good swimmers. As the one “got in trouble,” the other took a log and attempted to swim out to save him, said Bill Pitterle, commander with Tonto Rim Search and Rescue.

It is unclear who fell in first and who went out to rescue the other.

The men lost their grip of the log and family and friends reported seeing them thrash about below the falls before they both went under the water. They did not resurface.

Rescuers were called about 5 p.m. and did not make it to the area until after sunset, making a dive rescue impossible.

Two deputies with the GCSO and several members of TRSAR camped out at the falls overnight until dive operations could resume Sunday morning.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety Ranger helicopter flew in divers Sunday and they located the men’s bodies pinned underneath a shelf below the falls, 21 feet down, Pitterle said.

It is the same location where a man in June drowned. And in October 2015, a 41-year-old father of four also drowned in the waterfall pool.

“This was a really sad event,” Morris said. “It demonstrates the risk of that waterfall. People just don’t realize how risky that is and how easy it is to slip off the shallow area into deep water.”

One voter shows up for pot debate Would legalization of marijuana help schools? by

Teresa McQuerrey

roundup staff reporter

Backers of a ballot measure that would legalize the recreational use of marijuana in the state battled it out with critics at a forum set up by the Arizona Secretary of State’s office in Payson.

The session explored the most controversial issue on the ballot.

Only one problem: Only one voter showed up.

Renada Fisher, elections project specialist with the Secretary of State’s office, made the presentation. J.P. Holyoak, chair of the Campaign to Regulate Marijuana

Like Alcohol supported the measure. Meanwhile, State Representative Bob Thorpe (R-D6, one of Rim Country’s legislators) spoke against the proposition to legalize recreational use of marijuana.

Proposition 205 – Legalizing Marijuana The measure, if approved, would not go into effect until March 1, 2018, so possession, use and growing would remain illegal for more than a year after the election.

During the intervening months, a Marijuana Commission would refine the regulations.

Once in effect, laws against driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol would remain in effect and minors could still not possess or use marijuana.

Additionally, legal possession/use would be limited to one ounce or less, including not more than 5 grams of

Marijuana legalization debate From page 1 hashish. However, people could produce a limited amount of marijuana for personal use.

Residents could only buy legalized marijuana from a state licensed and regulated facility, which would pay fees and an added, 15 percent sales tax.

The assorted fees and taxes would go into a Marijuana Fund, which would pay the costs of a Department of Marijuana License and Control and the Department of Revenue to regulate and enforce marijuana production, distribution and sales laws.

An independent legislative analysis said half of the remaining money from fees would go to the town, city or county in which the business operates. Another 40 percent could go to schools, 40 percent for full-day kindergarten; and 20 percent to the Arizona Department of Health Services for public education campaigns about the dangers of alcohol, marijuana and other substances.

The measure allows employers to prohibit or restrict the use of marijuana in the workplace.

The Joint Legislative Budget Committee estimates the measure would generate $53.4 million in new taxes and fees in FY 2019 and $82 million in FY 2020.

In addition, regular sales taxes on the sale of marijuana would produce another $22.4 million in FY 2019 and $41.8 million in FY 2020, according to estimates.

The JLBC projects in FY 2019 schools would get $30.4 million from the legalized sale of marijuana and $55.6 million in FY 2020.

“It is not a matter of good or bad, it is a matter of tax it or keep it illegal and in the hands of dealers and drug cartels,” Holyoak said.

He said the campaign advertising against the measure mangles the facts. He pointed out that DUI citations are down and marijuana is not mentioned.

“The data doesn’t back up the claims of increased fatalities,” Holyoak said.

Thorpe said the measure, if successful, will only enrich the marijuana industry and that wealth special interests have pushed the initiative.

He said in Colorado, the legislature has an easier time of changing bad laws, but in Arizona it takes three-quarters of the membership to make a change if it involves taxes.

“There is no limit on the amount of THC (Tetrahydro­cannabinol) in the system of impaired drivers. There is no control over the amount of personal growth (of marijuana) allowed,” he said.

Thorpe pointed out that 60 communities in Colorado have refused to allow marijuana retail facilities.

“The money going to education is a false promise,” he said.

I LIKE THINGS I CAN COUNT ON We’re among the top in the nation for reliable energy. Our employees, right here in Arizona, work 24/7 to provide you safe, reliable power.

“This is a really bad law. It’s 20 pages long and confusing.”

Rep. Bob Thorpe

Anti-Prop. 205

“This is a really bad law. It’s 20 pages long and confusing.”

Thorpe said the Republicans in the Arizona Legislature, law enforcement and utility companies have come out against the measure.

The Arizona Democratic Party has endorsed the measure, according to Alexis Tameron, chair.

“Proposition 205 will replace the underground criminal enterprise with a well-regulated market in which licensed businesses can produce, sell and tax the sale of marijuana for adults over the age of 21 to use in private.

“It will also enact a 15 percent excise tax on the sale of marijuana, which will provide Arizona with an estimated $123 million in additional revenue, $55 million per year for K-12 education (including all-day kindergarten) and nearly $14 million per year for public health programs.

“And despite the lies the opponents are spreading, Prop. 205 will allow law enforcement officials to spend more time addressing serious crimes in our neighborhoods and it will also protect employers’ rights to maintain drug-free workplaces,” Tameron said in a recent press release.

A review of the 2016 General Election Publicity Pamphlet has many more arguments against the proposition than for it. If you have not received the pamphlet in the mail, go online to the Arizona Secretary of State’s website www.arizona.vote to see a copy.

Drugs cost him everything Sawmill TheaTreS by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

A 20-year-old will spend the next 1.5 years in prison for multiple drug infractions, including possession of methamphetamine and heroin, which he sold to feed his own drug habit.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety Gila/Navajo County Narcotics Task Force worked six months to arrest Gabriel Joseph Martinez, 20, of the Valley, who they believed was selling drugs in the community, according to Det. Sgt. Erik Axlund with the task force.

On May 4, task force officers were watching traffic come and go from Martinez’s room at the Payson Motel 6. When he left the room and drove away, officers saw Martinez commit multiple traffic violations and officers stopped him. Officers smelled burnt chemicals coming from the

vehicle and Martinez appeared impaired.

Detectives found drug paraphernalia on Martinez and 3.5 grams of heroin, one gram of meth and other drug paraphernalia in the vehicle, according to a pre-sentence report.

On Friday, Judge Gary Scales sentenced Martinez to 1.5 years in prison, 36 months probation and $2,300 in fines for solicitation to possess heroin for sale and possession of meth.

Also on Friday, Scales sentenced Martinez in a separate, earlier case for possession of drug paraphernalia involving meth. In that case, officers found Martinez in possession of a bag of meth. Martinez will serve one year in prison and pay $586 in fines in that case. That prison time will run concurrent to the other sentence.

Martinez told a probation officer that he started using marijuana at the age of 12. At

age 15, he occasionally used cocaine; at 16, opiates, meth and heroin. He continued to use meth, heroin and marijuana on and off until his arrest.

As a teen, Martinez started selling heroin to support his drug habit, according to the report. He was sent to juvenile detention and attended substance abuse treatment six times a day. He was released in 2014, but relapsed in 2015 after he started hanging out with the wrong crowd.

“As time progressed, he literally lost everything and was selling illegal drugs to sustain himself and support his drug habit,” probation wrote.

Martinez’s lawyer Michael Bernays said Martinez wants treatment and he hopes he takes that seriously while in prison.

Martinez said he was sorry for the choices he had made and apologized to his family and the court.

From page 1 perhaps because the most recent polls show him with a comfortable lead.

“If someone wants to say something disparaging of me, I understand that,” said McCain, who has served six Senate terms and has shed a reputation as a self-directed maverick to become a consummate Republican insider in the course of more than 30 years in Washington. “I spoke out strongly on other issues where I thought Mr. Trump was wrong — when he disparaged the Kahn family (Muslims whose son was a U.S. solider who died heroically in Afghanistan) — all of those things I thought were really wrong. When Mr. Trump attacks women and demeans women in our society, that’s a point where I have to part company. It’s not pleasant for me to renounce the nominee of my party. I have daughters. I have friends who are women. They cannot be degraded and demeaned.”

Kirkpatrick retorted, “I’ve been asking that same question for over a year — more than 60 times he’s endorsed Trump. It wasn’t enough when Trump insulted the Kahn family. It wasn’t enough when Mr. Trump made fun of a disabled reporter — he even made fun of veterans suffering from PTSD. But no, John McCain wouldn’t denounce him. He’s been trying to run away from those remarks.”

“I wonder when she’s going to denounce Hillary Clinton, when we know she was emailing her daughter and others when she knew it (in Libya) was a terrorist attack,” said McCain, referring to his insistence that then Secretary of State Clinton persisted in describing the attack on a consulate in Benghazi as a mob out of control rather than a deliberate attack organized by a Libyan militia.

“Has your credibility been damaged?” asked the moderator about turning on Trump as soon as he emerged from a hardfought Republican primary.

“The people of Arizona know me and my service to them and my character and my integrity. I just worry frankly about the future of the Republican Party. We’re going to have a lot to do when this election is over.”

“So you’re equating what Hillary Clinton did to what Trump has done?” asked the moderator.

“With lying to a family while they’re standing next to the coffin,” said McCain, “that to me is not unlike Mr. Trump degrading and demeaning women.”

“As well as disabled people, prisoners of war, Muslims and Mexicans,” interjected the moderator.

McCain persisted, “I expressed my disagreements with Ronald Reagan when he sent Marines to Lebanon. I have expressed my disagreements to President Bush. I expressed my disagreements with Mr. Trump.”

“Who will you vote for?” asked the moderator.

Senator John McCain

Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick

Graham, I cannot vote for either one of the nominees.”

Kirkpatrick added, “John McCain has been running away from answering whether he trusts Donald Trump’s finger on the nuclear button.”

“It’s a nonsense question,” said an exasperated McCain. “I don’t support him. Do you support Hillary Clinton’s finger on the nuclear button?”

“You haven’t answered the question,” said Kirkpatrick.

“I just answered it. If you want to continue to support a person who has lied and lied and lied ... Look at the world the day Hillary Clinton became Secretary of State and look at where we are now.”

The moderator again intervened. “Did you support the idea of Donald Trump’s finger on the button until this past weekend?”

“I did,” said McCain. “We have seen many times that the office has made the person. But this is an academic discussion because I no longer support Donald Trump to be president of the Untied States.”

The reference to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton lying to the families of four of the U.S. diplomats and security forces who died in the assault on the Benghazi consulate touches on an issue that arose during the Republican primary campaign.

U.S. officially initially said that the attack on the consulate that resulted in the death of Ambassador Christopher Stevens had been sparked by a mob’s reaction to a video mocking Islam and the prophet Mohammed.

The video spurred demonstrations throughout the Middle East.

However, later information demonstrated that a disgruntled militia group had been planning an attack on the consulate before the release of the video. Critics of the administration say that even if State Department officials initially thought the attack spontaneous, they knew — or should have known — the truth well before they admitted to knowing what really happened. Moreover, they maintain the State Department ignored the mounting danger of an attack and failed to either recall or adequately protect the ambassador and his staff — either before or during the attack.

The meeting with the families of people

who died in the attack took place behind closed doors and has spawned conflicting accounts as to what Clinton said to the families.

Politifact, a Pulitzer Prize-winning effort to fact-check political claims, looked into the account of Clinton’s meeting with the families of the slain. The investigation found conflicting accounts and little clarity.

Several family members said Clinton lied to them and stuck to the story that the deaths were the result of mob violence triggered by a video the U.S. could not have predicted, rather than a premeditated attack it should have headed off or defended against.

Other family members said she expressed sympathy, made reference to the riots, but didn’t mention the video.

Clinton has denied saying anything about the video in her meeting with the families.

The Politifact research concluded that Clinton may not have had a clear picture of what caused the attack until Sept. 15, the day after the meeting with the families. However, she did email her daughter Chelsea on Sept. 11 saying the attack seemed to have been committed by an al-Qaida-like group, which later retracted its claim of responsibility.

The Politifact investigation found the claims on each side difficult or impossible to confirm and in several investigations found much of the rhetoric about the Benghazi attacks misleading or flatly false. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2014/may/16/fact-checking-benghazi-our-most-recent-round-/

Is knowledge elitism?

Editor: Instead of spewing vitriolic irrationality and name-calling I will submit the words of columnist Michael Gerson from The Arizona Republic, Sept. 30. He writes out of Washington. “Trump’s defenders will charge his critics with elitism.

But this claim is now fully exposed. The expectation of rationality is not elitism. Coherence is not elitism. Knowledge is not elitism. Honoring character is not elitism. And those who claim this are debasing themselves, their party and their country.”

Louis Crabtree

Mosquito breeding ground next door Editor: I live on Oak Street, the property behind me — 817 W. Cherry St. — is overgrown (with) weeds 3 feet tall, (and has a) 1958 trailer condemned by (the) city. No one has lived there (for the) last eight-plus months.

I have complained to city and county health department. So far the county told me it’s the city’s job and the city told me they don’t have money for clean up.

So here I am, I pay my taxes on time, keep my property clean, no weeds. My complaint is I cannot go outside to work in my shop, sit on my porch to barbecue, or enjoy anything outside of my house without getting eaten up by mosquitoes.

What would be my next step?

Call the state of Arizona? No — it’s still the city of Payson that’s responsible. You would think that their would be some kind of recourse.

The next step for me is to contact the Centers for Disease Control. If that doesn’t work — court.

A big thank you Editor: The 10th annual Pioneer Dinner and Dance held Saturday, Sept. 24 was a great success.

Approximately 700 people were in attendance.

The auction was great and a big hit again due to the homemade pies, cakes and bread. There were many hugs, lots of laughter and of course great stories.

The committee members would like to thank all the people who donated items and also helped to work this event. The committee members are, Wes Chapman, Larry Ralston, Kelly Owens, Errol Owens, Homer Sanders, Tony McDaniel, Roy Haught, Brian Jennings, Larry McNeeley, Albert Hunt, Buddy Morris, Ronnie McDaniel and Wally Davis.

A very special thanks to all the Pioneers honored this night. Without them this would not be possible.

The money raised will help several youth groups of Gila County.

Pot leads to other drugs Editor: Recreational pot will bring more problems than it can solve. People who need it to erase pain, should have it free, if they can’t afford it.

But for the general public, it’s a disaster waiting to happen, it’s an introductory drug and that is the truth.

I was field operations manager for the largest rebar placing company in the western part of the United States. We were the only company that was involved heavily with the convict rehab program. We got the Ironworkers Union to help us and give them work permits, because there was nobody in a different kind of a business that would take a chance on them and in a lot of cases they were justified. Nearly every single one of the convicts said they started out on pot, some as young as 10 years old and eventually got bored with it and lost their fear of hard stuff. So they started doing crimes to get money for the hard stuff and went downhill from there.

Those who think this is an old story, and want pot made legal, have never been around those who started out on pot and advanced to heroin, meth, coke, etc.

If people want pot legal for recreational use, they either don’t know anything about it, or may have a financial agenda. Colorado says they have not gotten any money to speak of from the sale of pot for schools, and they figure that it would give the teachers only $50 a year more on their paychecks, surely that’s not worth it, and a teachers’ paycheck should not be the issue at all when it comes to the 205 vote. I’d do some research

before you vote to legalize pot, look hard and if you really want the truth, look even harder.

Dell Owens

Lopsided arguments on marijuana Editor: Today I received the 2016 General Election Publicity Pamphlet. In this “unbiased” document, printed by tax dollars, there are eight arguments for legalization of marijuana and forty arguments against the proposed bill, Prop. 205. The usual Attorney’s General, Law Enforcement suits, and “former” school officials have come out as opposed.

What is interesting, and new, is the list of 17 detrimental side effects presented by two self-proclaimed “scientific and medical experts” from Sedona.

Among these unproven claims: Marijuana causes testicular cancer, always a red herring, and that marijuana makes PTSD worse.

The anti-legalization ads on TV are claiming Colorado schools are not getting money from marijuana sales. This is a blatant fabrication of what is really happening. In 2015, Colorado’s marijuana tax results: $135 million — $35 million going to schools. That’s more than the state raised in alcohol tax!

In keeping marijuana illegal we are helping the for-profit prisons’ bottom line and the pharmaceutical companies sell more Oxy. That’s why these groups are spending millions to stop Prop.

205.

I am pretty sure the Roundup will not see many pro Prop. 205 endorsements ... but I feel the truth should at least be posted once.

Wonderful place

healthy vegetables.

Expressing our gratitude by way of a verbal or written thank you was not enough in the minds of the Deacons; therefore, we publicly want to extend our appreciation to all the growers of the community garden for being so extremely gracious with their harvest.

On behalf of the Deacons, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Don’t teach dating Editor; Your article on Payson High School inviting a speaker to talk about dating began with the words “well intentioned.”

There was nothing “well” about what this speaker said. Is this whom we are selecting to speak to our children? Who is responsible for this? For starters, where does this school get off trying to teach about dating? That responsibility belongs to the parents and God’s word. All this speaker did was invite more trouble.

Instead of bringing in people who are “preying” on our children we should spend more time “praying for our children. This is something I began doing a few weeks ago, walking outside the high school praying for the kids. I don’t have a child being educated here in Payson, but as a Christian I consider all children as my kids, my brothers, my sisters. Psalm 127 says that “children are a heritage from the Lord.” Our kids belong to God first and we are responsible for bringing them up in His way.

There is a real enemy out there, the devil, who is seeking to devour and destroy. Come join us in this battle for our kids. It’s time to get on our knees.

Editor: I had a very positive experience with the professionals that are responsible for running and managing the activities and projects that make Payson what it is for both visitors and residents.

My husband and I have been residents of Happy Jack and Pine for five years.

We’ve lived in beautiful places like Punaluu, Hawaii; Santa Fe, N.M.; Boulder, Colo. and upstate New York. We think Payson is incredible! The town management, quality of life, special events ... this is a fabulous place to live.

After meeting and working with the Town of Payson recently, we realized that this is no accident — what you see around you is a result of caring, strong professionals doing a truly wonderful job for everyone.

We just wanted to express our appreciation for the caring and work coming from the Town of Payson professional staff and department heads.

Fighting hunger Editor: The Community Presbyterian Church would like to thank the people from the community garden for their generosity. They have shared their harvest with the food bank operated by the church.

Citizens in situations needing assistance from a food bank are generally very appreciative of any and all items the food bank has to offer; however, it is truly a blessing to the volunteers when we are able to provide those citizens with fresh

Editor: The proposal to introduce the Bible into the curriculum of public schools seems archaic and impracticable for several reasons.

First, which translation is to be used? There are several; of varying degrees of fidelity to the original Hebrew and Greek documents, which are not entirely uniform among themselves.

The idea seems to be the promotion of Christianity as the dominant or sole religion in this country. Which variants of Christianity are included? Is the Nicene Creed required? History shows that groups calling themselves Christian have fought bitterly among themselves. Do we want to invite a repetition?

What proof is there that the Bible was often the only book used in American schools? What of the early curriculum at Harvard, which included Latin, Greek, Hebrew, and some familiarity with geometry, as well as the Bible? What of Boston High and Latin? What of the College of William and Mary, with its curriculum in politics? What of training in law and medicine?

Fourthly, would a mandatory inclusion of the Bible in the public schools supported by local, state and federal funds be constitutional? In the U.S. Constitution there is in Article VI, an explicit exclusion of a “religious test as a requirement to hold public office or public trust under the United States.” The First Amendment guarantees freedom of worship. The Constitution does not mention God. The implication that the Bible is a squeakyclean guide to living is not borne out by the text itself. This work has many examples of deplorable behaviors, attitudes and customs. Among

them are entrapment, murder, swindling, slavery, genocide, pillage, cruelty to animals, murderous and punitive rages, gratuitous cruelty, misogyny and bigotry. There is plenty of sex and sexual misconduct, including incest, sodomy, uncovering of nakedness and handing a wife to other men out of fear.

Several important aspects of American government are not even foreshadowed in the Bible.

The general code of law is derived from Roman law by way of the code and digits of Justinian (483 – 565 C.E.). Several of the earliest amendments to the Constitution are derived from the Magna Carta (1215). Representative parliamentary government arose in 13th-centrury England to deal with royal abuses, ineptitude and taxation. Concepts of the natural rights of man (and woman) and of a social contract are the fruits of the Enlightenment of the 18th century. Freedom with regard to religion was included among these concepts.

Colonists in Massachusetts and Connecticut executed several people for witchcraft in the 17th century; some of the cases arose from quarrels related to religion. Massachusetts persecuted early Baptists and Quakers branding some and drove them out. Two decent men behaved with grace and compassion. Rev. Joseph Green spent his ministry in healing the wounds of the congregation in Salem Village. Roger Williams welcomed refugees from Massachusetts to Providence, Rhode Island, thus establishing a community of religious toleration.

Why should we now do less well?

Someone’s tearing down signs Editor: Do you wonder why there are more Trump signs in Payson than Hillary Clinton signs? Well, for several weeks now the Hillary signs have been disappearing. I have put up several signs, as have other friends, for various candidates around town. Most stay put, but the Hillary signs are gone!

To whomever chooses to steal the Hillary signs, I guess you don’t believe in free speech. Or, are you so afraid Hillary might win in Arizona, that in your misguided zeal, you have confirmed the negative thinking about the other candidate.

Marie Fasano, Democrat and Hillary supporter

Some thoughts on our future Editor: It’s a fact that if Mrs. Clinton is elected the country’s chance to have a Supreme Court that values the Constitution and genuine liberty and self government for which millions have died is gone. Not for four years or eight, but forever.

Many say Mr. Trump can’t be trusted to deliver on this score, but Mrs. Clinton certainly can be trusted in the opposite direction.

For our kids and grandkids, are we not obliged to take our best shot at this?

Shall we sit on our hands and refuse to choose?

Gila County Supervisor District 3 Woody Cline, a Young rancher and Republican, will try to unseat District 3 Gila County Supervisor John Marcanti, Democrat, in the Nov. 8 General Election, which would finally give Northern Gila County a dominant position on the three-member board.

Cline did not return several calls for comment, so this profile is based on his appearances in Payson during the primary, in which he beat Payson Mayor Kenny Evans.

The bustling mining districts in Globe and Miami have long dominated the county’s politics, with a stranglehold on most elective offices — especially the board of supervisors. However, the 2010 redistricting showed north county not only pays most of the taxes, but now has about 53 percent of the population. The county has most of its facilities and spends most of its money in south county. However, District 3 is now a swing district, centered on the Tonto Basin and sending tendrils into both north and south county.

That makes the District 3 election crucial.

Cline, a fourth generation Gila County resident, believes his long association with the county gives him a different perspective. Cline has a conservative rancher’s perspective on money, taxes and land use.

“We have a big resource out there in Gila County and it’s a renewable resource, it’s in cattle and timber and mining,” he said. “And if we can keep that going and keep our mines going and keep that employment up there where it needs to be and push on some of this timber we got started here in Gila County we can generate some more money from the outside.”

Cline also mentioned that cattle allotments were under utilized and needed to be increased.

Cline only recently became politically active, fighting against the release of Mexican Grey Wolves in Gila County. Cline also offered strong support for the mining, grazing and timber industries.

“I’m for timber harvesting and cattle — the one thing we haven’t done in this county for a long time is cut timber,” he said.

He blamed environmentalists for the demise of the timber industry, saying they hamstrung loggers and ranchers by filing lawsuits on behalf of endangered species.

He also agrees with Presidential candidate Donald Trump about the need to build a wall all along the border ... with our illegals, it’s hard for us taxpayers to keep them on the rolls with welfare programs and everything else. I know it’s a huge, huge issue — but there has to be ways to help improve that.”

Judge balks at jail time demand by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

Judge Gary Scales overruled the prosecutor’s request for jail time and placed on probation a man who stole jewelry from his roommate to feed a gambling habit.

The case remained stuck in the system for two long years, in part because Scales refused to accept a recommendation for jail time by the Gila County Attorney’s Office.

The woman said Robert Nolte IV, 59, of Payson, had gone through her things, taking everything of value she owned. She felt violated and sad, both for herself and him.

The woman says she does not understand what Nolte was thinking, but hopes he thinks about the pain he caused.

The woman was living with Nolte and his girlfriend in 2014 when she moved out. She continued to pay rent and left her belongings in her room as she looked for a permanent residence.

When she returned, she found 10 items missing, including her grandmother’s wedding ring.

When questioned, Nolte admitted to police to taking the items, saying he pawned the ring and earrings, according to a pre-sentence report.

On Friday, Oct. 7, Judge Gary Scales sentenced Nolte to 48 months probation and $800 in fines. He must also pay the woman back for the

value of the jewelry.

The victim appeared surprised to hear Nolte was not going to jail for burglary.

Nolte’s lawyer Michael Bernays said one reason it took some two years to resolve this case is the state’s insistence Nolte serve jail time. Scales did not sentence Nolte to any jail time.

Nolte told the court that he was in a bad place two years ago, but was doing better now and had a job.

John Marcanti is seeking re-election as Gila County District 3 Supervisor because there are still things he’d like to do for the county. He was first elected in 2012.

A native of Miami, Ariz., he was raised in Globe, graduating from Globe High School in 1972. He attended Scottsdale Community College and Arizona State University on football scholarships.

As a Globe businessman for 39 years, Marcanti is co-owner/ president of Marcanti Electric, Inc., which includes an electrical retail store, contracting and air conditioning.

Marcanti said the biggest surprise when he was first elected was discovering you don’t get to do what you want to.

“The state controls just about everything and to change anything or get anything done you have to go through the legislative process,” Marcanti said.

He still hopes the county can build a new animal shelter in south county and improve the south county meals on wheels program.

“I am always looking for new economic development ideas,” he said.

Marcanti’s district includes Star Valley and part of southeastern Payson.

“I’m proudest of being able to help Star Valley with the well (in the community park) with an economic development grant and additional improvements to the park,” he said.

He would like to see more growth throughout his district, though he knows there are some people that don’t want it. “I hope with Resolution Copper we will see an improved tax base. It is estimated once it is up and running it will put $60 billion into the system over 40 years,” he said.

Marcanti is also looking at a partnership with Resolution Copper to help with the high unemployment on the San Carlos Reservation. “They have 27 percent unemployment. People want to work,” he said.

He also hopes to get state grants to help clean up blighted areas in south county. Because of the property tax laws, those sites are most often owned by the state and the county can’t get authorization to clean them up.

“There is a motel on Highway 77 that is so bad that it is a hazard; it could collapse on kids or transients and kill them. It has a $98,000 lien on it, so no one is going to buy it.”

Marcanti is pushing, through the County Supervisors Association, for legislation to make it possible for counties to have access to hazardous properties owned by the state, clean them up and then place liens on them to recover the costs.

Payson Care Center Payson Care Center’s garden courtyard is located in the Special Care Unit of the facility. The Special Care Unit is home to residents with Alzheimer’s and/or dementia combined with wandering tendencies.

The residents, with the assistance of activities assistant Laura Gabaldon, created an outdoor oasis to stimulate the five senses.

The garden includes colorful flowers, a variety of vegetables, hand-painted garden signs and decorative-painted rocks. The residents receive additional benefits from these activities such as core strength, balance, flexibility and memory recall.

Upon harvest time, in the late summer and early fall, residents are rewarded with from

the bounty of their labors. The vegetables are admired, consumed and utilized by the residents to make culinary creations such as zucchini bread and fried green tomatoes.

These activities also stimulate the sense of smell and taste.

The Special Care Unit garden vegetables have been entered in the Northern Gila County Fair for the past few years. The Unit has won numerous blue ribbons including ribbons for zucchini, zucchini relish, cherry tomatoes, radishes and a red ribbon for Jalapeno peppers.

The ribbons won by the garden courtyard are on display in the Special Care Unit hallway shadow boxes for residents to admire and take pride in.

• Women with dense breast tissue have six times more risk of developing the disease.

• Overweight – Being overweight or obese after menopause increases breast cancer risk.

Before menopause your ovaries make most of your estrogen, and fat tissue makes only a small amount. After menopause (when the ovaries stop making estrogen), most of a woman’s estrogen comes from fat tissue. Having more fat tissue after menopause can raise estrogen levels and increase your chance of getting breast cancer.

• Menstrual history – The more periods a woman has – starting before age 12 and entering menopause after 55 – can have an increased risk of breast cancer due to the extended exposure of estrogen.

• Pregnancy history – Not ever being pregnant, no full term or late-in-life pregnancies also increases the risk.

• Drinking alcohol – From three drinks a week to one per day is considered “safe” for women, more puts you at risk.

• Smoking, especially in premenstrual years, increases a woman’s risk of developing breast cancer; second-hand smoke has been found to contribute to its development in postmenopausal women.

• Lack of exercise can also be a contributing factor.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so the Banner High Country Seniors hosted Dr. Cynthia Booth, M.D., at its Oct. 12 Lunch & Learn program to discuss breast cancer.

Booth, who specializes in obstetrics and gynecology, talked about the statistics of the disease; factors that could contribute to developing breast cancer and how to minimize the risk; and screening.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women, except for skin cancers, while lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer deaths in women.

Booth said about one in eight women in the U.S. will develop invasive breast cancer during their lifetime — that’s 12 percent.

The American Cancer Society’s estimates for breast cancer in the U.S. for 2016 are: • About 246,660 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women.

• About 61,000 new cases of carcinoma in situ (CIS) will be diagnosed (CIS is non-invasive and is the earliest form of breast cancer).

Booth said breast cancer incidence rates in women began decreasing in 2000, and dropped by about 7 percent from 2002 to 2003, after increasing for more than 20 years.

A wide array of factors can contribute to the possibility of developing breast cancer, according to Booth. Among these are: • Family history – if you have a parent, sibling or child diagnosed with breast cancer, you are at risk.

• Genetics – Booth said genetics are different from family history; certain genes predispose an individual to developing breast cancer. Where there is a combination of a family history and genetic predisposition for breast cancer, there is an 80 percent possibility of developing the disease.

• Personal history – If you have had another cancer, you are 3 to 4 times more likely to develop breast cancer.

• Radiation to the head and/or chest area before the age of 30 can contribute to your risk due to the cellular changes the treatment may cause.

Screening Booth said many in her field are moving toward recommending women be “breast aware” — continue self-exams, but be mindful of how your breasts normally feel and on alert if there is a change.

She said changes in the nipple and breast skin itself can be an indicator to have a more complete examination of the tissue.

“Report any changes right away,” she said.

Generally it is now recommended women start having mammograms between the ages of 40 and 45; however if there is a family history, this screening should begin earlier.

“The recommendations for when to stop mammograms are all over the board. I tell my patients they should continue so long as they want to treat it (should they get a breast cancer diagnosis),” Booth said.

Help with Medicare Open Enrollment Fall Open Enrollment in Medicare is from Oct. 15 through Dec. 7, 2016 and it’s the time of year when people with Medicare can make unrestricted changes to their coverage options. They can make as many changes as they need, and the last change they make on or before Dec. 7, 2016 will take effect on Jan. 1, 2017.

Medicare beneficiaries need to be aware of this opportunity, as well as changes taking place in 2017 in order to assess their options and make the best informed decision.

To assist in the Open Enrollment process, representatives from the Pinal-Gila Council for Senior Citizens will be visiting northern Gila County in late October and mid-November. Payson visits will be at the Payson Senior Center, 514 W. Main St., from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 27 and from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 10. Representatives will be in Pine, at the Isabelle Hunt Memorial Library, from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Friday, Oct. 28.

At these visits, Medicare beneficiaries can: • Get one-on-one help from benefit counselors, personalized comparison of costs and cover-

Beekeepers move their hives from one lushly flowering crop to another, and consequently “spoil” their bees.

So, how can we save the bees?

In Europe, they have banned the use of pesticides that contain nicotine (neonicotinoids) — the stuff that makes tobacco so addictive could cause harm.

It gets into bees’ brains and makes it harder for them to navigate so they can’t collect pollen effectively.

Then to fight varroa, Frankfurt University has created a new hive that uses a specially designed hive entrance. As the bees enter the hive, they brush up against a toxin that kills the mite — like a front-door flea collar.

The threat to bees has mobilized researchers around the world.

But I discovered I can do something here in my own backyard and community, too.

I buy locally-produced honey. That supports local beekeepers and the bee population in this area.

Suppressing my natural fear of bees, I have also planted flowers in and amongst my veggies in my garden.

I also have an herb patch I allow to go to flower.

My garden literally buzzes now.

Then, in a move that doesn’t make my neighbors happy, I have let my flowering weeds live free. I’m finding that the weed flowers attract numerous different kinds of pollinators. This is the best excuse I’ve ever come up with for not weeding — a task I hate anyway.

And while I try to remain Zen-like when a bee hums near me as I enjoy my patio, I still screech and run into the house.

Don’t judge me.

I can’t help it.

I’m just having bra strap flashbacks.

Raymond (Ray) T. Frost, 90, passed away Sept. 29, 2016.

Born in Meridian, Oklahoma, July 19, 1926 to Tom and Rose Frost.

He moved to Arizona in 1938 where he lived in Phoenix, Payson and Peoria. Ray married Phyllis Hall, in 1944, and together have three sons, Tommy (Judie), Jimmy (Candi) and Danny (Susie, deceased).

Ray is preceded in death by Phyllis. He is survived by his three sons; and was blessed with 9 grandchildren, 27 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.

During his early years in Arizona, he leveled farm land in Queen Creek. Ray served in the U.S. Navy from 19441946 as a Baker 2nd Class.

In 1956, Ray and partner, Cecil Foster started Foster and Frost Distributors, dba Sunset Oil Company. Ray also owned the Anvil Rock Cattle Ranch, one of the oldest ranches in Arizona.

During the years of owning Sunset Oil, Ray did business in the Town of Payson where he and Phyllis eventually retired.

While in Payson, he became instrumental in developing and helping Payson grow into the Town that it is today. Ray served on a number of committees in Payson. The Payson Economic Development Corporation, Community Action Program, Sanitary District Board, Green Valley Park, Take Pride in Payson, Arizona Action Committee, board member of the American Red Cross, Rim Country Hospice. Ray was often referred to as “Mr. Payson” for his contributions to the Town of Payson and surrounding communities.

There were two major events that highlighted Ray’s volunteer efforts for Payson.

He spent countless hours helping with the Dude Fire, in which he organized shelter for the evacuees in homes and motels, as well as coordinating firefighter support units, Red Cross and other major organizations. The second event was his involvement with the 1404th Army National Guard Unit in the Operation Desert Storm.

Ray played an instrumental role in helping “take care of their families,” while the troops were in the Persian Gulf and expediting the 1404th’s return from the Persian Gulf following the war. The 1404th presented Ray with a 24 karat gold medallion from Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm as a thank you gift. Ray was also awarded THE ARIZONA DISTINGUISHED SERVICE METAL and was given the Honorary Rank of CAPTAIN, in the Arizona National Guard by Brigadier General Peter D. Tosi, Jr. During his 50+ years at Sunset Oil Company, Ray was a founding member and past president of the Intermountain Oil Marketers Association and the Independent Petroleum Marketing Association.

Ray served on the Phoenix Fire Safety Board, Phoenix High Rise Board, Maricopa County Pollution Control Board, the United States E.P.A. Advisory Board and was a charter member of the Roosevelt Rough Riders in connection with the Boy Scouts of America.

A Visitation will be held beginning at 10 a.m., Saturday, October 22, 2016 in the Chapel at Greenwood Memory Lawn Mortuary, 719 N. 27th Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85009 with funeral services beginning at 11 a.m. followed by a reception, in Raymond’s honor, in the Hospitality Room at Greenwood.

C h a p m a n , Richard Gower ”Dick,” 75, of Payson, Arizona, loving husband, father, and grandfather, died much too soon surrounded by his family on September 27, 2016 after a brief and courageous struggle with cancer.

Dick was preceded in death by his parents, John Gower Chapman and Lucie (Lehman) Chapman. He is survived by his wife of 38 years, the love of his life, Rhoda Mae (Perkins) Chapman, daughter Laura Friesen (Phil), son Paul Chapman (Michelle McFee), his 7 grandchildren, Alexandra and Jacob Guyer, Kyle, Ryan, and Trey Chapman, and Jennifer and Joseph McFee, his two sisters Roberta Maki (Roland) and Joan Bryant (Blair), and many nieces and nephews.

Dick was born in Lansing, Michigan on November 27, 1940. He grew up in Holt, Michigan, attended Albion College and received his Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration at Michigan State University. He was an avid sportsman his entire life.

In high school he played baseball, basketball, and football and continued his passion for sports into adulthood playing ice hockey and participating in bowling and volleyball leagues. He was a lifelong fan of the Detroit Red Wings and Tigers.

Dick began his Marketing career working for the Chrysler Corporation and then Cooper Tire and Rubber Co. His love of the West, sparked on a family trip as a young man in 1956, brought Dick and Rhoda to Arizona in 1977. There he opened the Crafty Fox, a retail craft store on Whiskey Row in Prescott and then opened his own real estate business. During retirement Dick and Rhoda eventually settled in Payson.

Dick had many hobbies. He loved reading nonfiction books about U.S. history, including the Western expansion, Native Americans, and seafaring exploits.

He loved challenging crossword puzzles — the harder the better. The Sunday New York Times was his favorite. Other hobbies include acrylic painting, gardening, and writing, publishing two books, Chapman Legacy and Work Break, the latter which chronicled his and Rhoda’s 13-month cross country RV trip. Dick spent years researching his own genealogy dating back to the 1700’s.

This interest led him to volunteer doing data entry for LDS Family Search, logging nearly 1 million entries! Due to his proficiency and accuracy, LDS Family Search asked him to be an arbitrator, resolving discrepancies.

Dick had a deep and resonant voice and volunteered his time recording audio textbooks at Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic. Dick was well known for his sense of humor and generosity throughout his life.

A celebration of his life will be held Sunday, October 23, at 11 a.m. at Messinger Funeral Home, Payson, AZ. Online condolences may be sent through Messingermortuary. com.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Humane Society of Central Arizona, P O Box 242, Payson, AZ 85547, or Rim Country Hospice Foundation, 511 S. Mud Springs Rd, Payson, AZ 85541 or the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy, 516 N. Adams Street, Tallahassee, FL 32301.

Domestic violence survivors tell their stories From page 1

Funding cut

behind closed doors every day in this community.

“It is happening and it is real,” he said.

Christian said people can escape an abusive relationship, even though it often feels hopeless to those submerged in the depths of despair and fear that circle abuse.

“There is hope for the future,” he said.

Last year, 109 people in Arizona died in domestic violence incidents.

Plastered along the walls of Expedition Church were cutouts of bodies, each representing one death.

Edna Welsheimer, Time Out’s executive director, said the sight makes her cry.

Welsheimer implored those in abusive relationships to seek help. She also asked community members to reach out to those caught in abusive situations.

“If you know someone, try to make that break through,” she said. “I don’t want to see their name on that wall.”

Donna Maritano came close.

After growing up in a household where her father called her fat and stupid, Maritano rebelled at a young age. She started drinking and using drugs. She went from relationship to relationship, each increasing in abuse.

She got married and was badly abused. She divorced, but continued to bounce from one sick relationship to the next.

Finally, she ended up with a man that shot her in the face and left her for dead on the side of the road.

She arrived at Time Out in 2006. After a short time, she returned to Connecticut but returned to 2014, finally ready to confront her demons.

She forgave her abusers, her father and herself. She attended meetings and counseling sessions and learned to value herself.

For the past nine years, she has been clean and sober.

Many domestic violence vic-

Payson’s Time Out domestic violence shelter last week learned it had lost $349,000 in federal funding for transitional housing, which provides a place for families to get established once they leave the shelter. Time Out had received the funding the last nine years. Welsheimer said she does not know why they were not selected for continued funding, but suspects they decided to give it to another shelter.

If you would like to help the Time Out Shelter, donate at www.TimeOutShelter.org.

Marchers last week turned out for the Time Out Shelter in Payson, which this year lost $400,000 in grants for transitional housing to help victims of domestic violence get a fresh start. The march led

by Time Out Director Edna Welsheimer (above, center) culminated in speeches by Donna Maritano (left) and Dennis Dueker (right).

Alexis Bechman/Roundup

tims live in such a cycle of abuse. While they often know they should get out, they find themselves committing the same mistake repeatedly. They go from abuser to abuser, hoping to fix themselves through a relationship.

Only when they stop focusing on the abuser and turn inward toward themselves can they escape. Learning to value yourself is often the most difficult step to recovery, said the speakers.

Dennis Dueker, a tall, strong, rugged cowboy type, never

imagined he would end up the victim of emotional abuse.

Dueker was one of the first male domestic violence survivors to speak at a Time Out candlelight walk.

Dueker, a shy, soft-spoken guy, met a girl at the age of 19.

She was everything he was not: exciting and outgoing. Dueker said sometimes opposites attract.

They married. Dueker was sure they would never divorce.

Two weeks into the marriage, she started yelling at him. She threw plates at him

and pelted him with obscenities.

Dueker sought advice from his father.

His dad told him to deal with it.

So he did. For years.

Nearly every day, Dueker’s wife picked a fight. She hit and slapped him and although it didn’t hurt physically, the emotional abuse took its tool.

Fed up, Dueker finally decided to seek a divorce. He went to an attorney, but when he returned home, he learned she was pregnant. Afraid he

would never know his son if he divorced her, they stayed together.

In the course of their 18-year marriage, they had five sons.

The fights continued. Any time he thought of divorce, his wife threatened to take their sons away from him.

So he put up with her rage and affairs for years. Finally, when his wife blamed their children for the state of their disastrous marriage, Dueker resolved to get out.

Dueker didn’t know if he would get any custody of his boys, but he couldn’t risk raising them in that home anymore.

Dueker was eventually

awarded custody of their three oldest boys and she got the younger two. After two months, she gave Dueker the two younger boys providing he continued to support her financially.

“It was the best money I ever spent,” he said.

Dueker raised his five boys peacefully.

He went on to love again and has been happily married 20 years. Today, the Duekers run the Dueker Ranch Therapeutic Horse Center, offering free riding lessons to special needs children, veterans with post traumatic stress disorder, first responders as well as their families.

Dueker said he knows now that if someone is abusing you — verbally, physically or emotionally it is time to get “the heck out.”

“Life is too short,” he said.

If you or someone you know needs help, contact the Time Out Shelter at 928-472-8007.

It’s about you.

It’s about time.

The Longhorns dominated the line of scrimmage.

J.T. Dolinich took advantage of the huge holes the offensive linemen were opening all night, running for two touchdowns.

He burst through the middle of the line, cut to the outside and raced 45 yards down the right sideline to put the home team up 35-7 with no time remaining in the first half just 57 seconds after the Bulldogs scored their only touchdown of the first half.

Dolinich demonstrated his speed again when he snagged a screen pass from Ryan Ricke and sprinted 47 yards to pay dirt to make it 48-7 midway through the third quarter.

“J.T. Dolinich had a hell of a game,” Swartwood said. “Our offensive line had a hell of a game. It’s exciting to watch those guys gel together.

“Angel Jacquez probably played the best game he’s ever played defensively for us. I just couldn’t be prouder of the entire group of guys.”

Dolinich said the Longhorns are using the frustration of the difficult losses to motivate them.

“We were all down, upset (after the Show Low and Snowflake losses) but we all took it and put it in our pocket and we’re gonna bring it out and light the fire,” he said.

“We just keep getting better and better every week. And if we get in the playoffs they better watch out because we’re gonna be deadly.”

Ricke enjoyed another strong game, throwing two touchdowns and running for two more. He was crowned homecoming king at halftime.

Senior lineman Jeremiah Hamm said pushing great teams like Show Low and Snowflake to the final minute gave the Longhorns confidence.

“It’s been a little frustrating getting so close to winning and falling a little short,” Hamm said. “But It showed us how a great a team we could be once we work together. If we just keep going together as a team, as a family, we can do anything.”

The lopsided score gave Swartwood a chance to get his backups extended action in the final quarter.

The loss avenged a disappointing setback to Winslow in Payson last year in the first meeting between the teams since 2008.

The six region champions and the next 10 teams in the power rankings qualify for the 16-team state tournament.

Payson would finish third in the 3A East with two more wins. The Longhorns close the season with their home finale against Lakeside Blue Ridge (2-6) this week and at Holbrook (2-5) on Oct. 28.

The drivers are now the cooks and our job is to have that meal ready when they step in the door after dark. This is far more convenient than going to a restaurant in addition to saving money.

Then, it is to bed only to start again the next morning at 4:30 a.m.

During the week-long event, the service area becomes a bustle of activity with boat, engine, and electronic technicians solving problems and making repairs for the 107 Bassmaster Elite tour anglers.

These technicians are the best in their field with the top priority of “doing it right the first time” and getting these professional anglers back on the water.

Time is money to everyone involved.

On this trip, Kirk and I spent most of the day in the service area because the boat trailer had a wiring issue that made the lights fail. The service crew for

Kirk Russell fills the truck up with fuel during a cross-country trip helping professional angler Clifford Pirch get from tournament to tournament.

Skeeter completely rewired the trailer in short order and had us on our way within an hour and a half.

When the tournament began, we had enough free time to try our luck at some recreational fishing in some of the best waters in the country for a variety of panfish, which are delicious table fare. On many evenings fried fish fillets became a part of the main course and we even caught enough to bring a few home.

After the second tournament everyone is anxious to be on the road homeward bound. Now, with three drivers

the nonstop 28-hour trip from northern Minnesota was a doable ordeal. As Dorothy in the classic movie, The Wizard of Oz said, “There’s no place like home.”

When we made the descent off the Mogollon Rim on Highway 260 and saw the vastness of the Tonto National Forest, we finally felt we were home after 17 days on the road.

There are so many special places throughout our great nation, but the Rim Country is hard to beat. Enjoy the vastness of the Arizona wilderness, God’s creation.

Epilepsy can’t keep Ayres from excelling in sports From page 12 except for his hands,” Richardson said. “So you just got to hold his hand and he’ll give you the answer by squeezing. One is yes, two is no, three is he doesn’t know. I talk to him, make sure he’s coming out of it.

If he doesn’t, I have to force (his medication) into his mouth. It’s a lengthy process but I got it all.”

Richardson may be ready with his medication if he requires it, but all of Ayres’ teammates are there for him.

“Everybody looks out for him,” Richardson said. “He’s just one of the guys. He always has been. He always will be.”

Stress, bright lights, certain sounds, and even some smells can trigger a seizure. He petitioned for and has been allowed to wear a tinted visor in his helmet. He also wears ear buds to minimize sound.

He didn’t yet have the visor when he suffered the first of his three in-game seizures this season at the end of Payson’s second game of the season at Queen Creek Casteel. The school shot off fireworks and a drone flew overhead during the game.

“It was just everything, the crowd, the fireworks, they had the drone that was illegal and it was flashing right above us,” he recalled. “That was a bad one.”

Assistant coach Denver White helped him through that one, helping him sit on the field and putting a towel over his head, which helps.

A couple of weeks later at Flagstaff Coconino, a sound made by the band set him off during halftime despite the ear buds. He sat on the bench with Rim Country Middle School principal Jennifer White and his mother, who helped him get through it. He had to sit out the second half kickoff, but was back in the game after a few minutes.

Keith Morris/Roundup

Kenny Ayres gets suited up to head out on the football field.

He suffered his third in-game seizure at the end of the first half of Friday’s homecoming game as the sound of a helicopter approaching as part of the halftime ceremony triggered a seizure. He knew the chopper would fly in before the game and was ready with headphones to drown out the sound. But he didn’t realize it was coming back.

“It caught me off guard,” he said. “I wasn’t ready for it.”

He wasn’t able to kick the extra point on the final play of the first half.

Someone put his headphones on him, the team manager put a towel over his head and assistant coach Bryan Burke carried him off the field with assistance from offensive coordinator Colin White.

He returned to kick in the second half.

He’s 2-for-3 on field goal attempts this season with a long of 44 yards. The only miss hit the crossbar. He said he should have made it.

And he’s been nearly perfect kicking extra points.

He’s confident kicking both field goals and extra points.

“Not to sound cocky, but I do know I can make it every single time, thanks to a great snapper in Trey Glasscock and holder in Ryan Ricke,” he said of extra points. “I have the ability to do that because of them.”

He’s even better on kickoffs, booming most into the end zone for touchbacks that prevent the other team from long returns.

“He’s a weapon,” Payson head coach Jake Swartwood said. “Anytime we can get a touchback and give a team an 80-yard field, that’s a huge weapon.”

Ayres has also given the team a big boost when it comes to onside kicks.

He hit that football perfectly against mighty Show Low two weeks ago and the Longhorns recovered it, setting up a Hail Mary touchdown pass that left them one point from a tie with 17.5 seconds remaining. They went for two and the win but came up short.

He fought off the nerves again last week to execute another beautiful onside kick recovered by teammate DiAndre Terry, giving the Longhorns a chance to shock No. 1 Snowflake. They weren’t able to score the knockout blow.

Ayres credits his faith and teammates with much of his success.

“It’s all in God’s hands,” he said. “And it’s all part of being part of a team. I believe Dailin Keith was the one who hit it out of the air before (Show Low) could receive it. I think it was Shane Law (it was) who recovered it. And DiAndre recovered the onside kick vs. Snowflake.

“So it’s more than me kicking it the right way. It also takes

them to do their part and they have.”

Swartwood said he admires Ayres for his determination to not let epilepsy stop him from doing what he loves.

“It’s just a great testimony to his courage and his drive to want to be a part of this team and to come out every day and deal with these issues,” Swartwood said.

Actually, he’s just having a blast.

“I have played both soccer and football ever since I was five in Alaska,” he said. “I just fell in love with both of them. I used to be one of the guys actually on the field hitting and stuff on offense and defense.

“But now that I’m getting older, I have to start making the decision between soccer and kicking for football. I don’t want to get hurt too much for soccer.”

He has a special connection to soccer.

“Soccer to me has always been the place where I can just be myself,” he said. “I go on the field and I just have the most fun.”

Ayres plays club soccer for

a team based in Chandler. The forward has scored four goals and 14 assists in 10 games this season. He travels to the Valley two or three times a week for practice and once a week for games. He does this 12 months a year.

So it’s a challenge juggling high school studies, and playing football and wrestling at Payson High, while also regularly traveling to the Valley for soccer.

He maintains a 3.4 grade point average and does volunteer work and hopes to play college soccer and football but hasn’t decided where.

His positive attitude makes dealing with the condition easier.

“I’ve had countless seizures,” he said. “But I’ve gotten used to it. I look at it from a perspective of, I could have cancer, I could have other bad diseases. It could be worse and I still feel blessed at the opportunity to play sports.”

Yes, he welcomes the kind of trembling resulting from a pressure-packed situation on the football or soccer field.

He can hide that.

PAYSON ROUNDUP

HOMECOMING From page 1 entries that included Julia Randall Elementary to high school clubs and district departments — not to mention the Payson Fire and Police Departments.

Students decorated floats as games from Battleship to Yahtzee, Scrabble to Life.

The DECA club had it easy this year, said advisor Joe Parone.

“Last year, we spent three weeks and three nights putting together Dumbo,” he said. “This year it took 15 minutes to put on the water.”

His group of students had decided to channel the game Let’s Go Fishing! Students wore foamy fish hats decorated with sparkly glitter glue.

Parone donated his ski boat to the effort. Kids sat all over from the deck to the bow.

To top off the theme, the DECA kids had bags of cheddar goldfish or red gummy fish.

Over at the Julia Randall Elementary float, teachers Gina Brooks (fourth grade) and Amber Mathews (fifth grade) wrangled representatives from each classroom on a long trailer pulled by a pickup truck.

The children on the float were chosen because they sat on student council.

“They did speeches to qualify,” said Mathews.

The third-, fourth- and fifth-grade students sat scattered amongst dice for Yahtzee.

“We spent every lunch painting,” said Brooks.

This year, the route started out of the football parking lot, moved along Longhorn then up McLane where the parade met up with all of the students lined along Wade Lane behind the Dome.

The two-mile route ended up along Main Street so the town had a chance to see the floats.

To get in the Homecoming Spirit, the Payson Elementary School kids made Longhorn hats with yellow bands and purple horns to wear as they watched the parade.

Kindergarten teacher Kirstin McKee had her little Longhorns practice the Longhorn hand symbol of the first finger and pinky raised.

“Ms. McKee’s class — show off your Longhorn hand signs!”

Her whole class raised both hands to show they knew exactly what to do.

The group with the most appropriately-themed game choice was FFA, which picked Apples to Apples as their game.

“We have 53 kids on the float this year,” said David Rutherford, the advisor for FFA. As the floats passed down Wade, those with candy threw it to the waiting kids by the side of the road. The kindergartners patiently waited for the candy to come to them. The teachers made sure each child had a couple of pieces.

The middle school kids, however, had a lot more excitement about getting all the candy they could get.

The Payson Fire Department led the parade, while the Payson Police Department came near the end with its DARE mobile.

“We’ve done this parade for the last 33 or 34 years,” said Chief Don Engler.

Truly a piece of hometown pride.

Payson Roundup LOCAL Tuesday, October 18, 2016

Final call for one of our own by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

On Friday, the Hellsgate Fire Department honored one its own, firefighter William “Bill” Warren Dupke, who lost his nine-year battle with brain cancer in September.

Family, friends and fellow firefighters came together to celebrate a man who loved to serve, gathering under the pine trees at the Payson First Church of the Nazarene’s outdoor chapel, the sound of bagpipes from the Arizona Fire Service Pipes Band playing “American the Beautiful” floating through the clear, sunny skies.

On Friday, a long line of fire trucks with a helicopter escort drove slowly from Star Valley to Payson, lights flashing in his honor.

At the age of 50, Dupke joined the Hellsgate Fire Department, but soon found out he had brain cancer and had to put his training on hold.

When his cancer went into remission, Dupke picked up his training where he left off and soon became a firefighter.

He worked the next nine years with Hellsgate.

In a “letter to my dad,” daughter Tisha Duthie said she didn’t know many guys that would decide to join the fire department at the age 50 and make it. She thanked Dupke for teaching her how to fix cars and do home improvement work, for loving her and her sister and being the dad they needed when their own father could not, who battled substance abuse.

Dupke was born in 1957 in Detroit. As a child, he loved to ice skate and he went on to play hockey professionally as a young adult, according to the service program.

He married his first wife and became the stepfather to Tisha and Christina.

For years, he worked as a high-performance automotive sales representative and gained many friends in the automotive industry.

Deputy Chief John Wisner and Fire Chief David Bathke said Dupke loved classic cars

and would always light up when he talked about them.

He joined the HFD for the physical and mental challenge of firefighting and emergency medicine as well as being able to help others and make a difference in the community, the program states.

Wisner said everyone universally liked Dupke and he was an instant fit in the department.

In 2010, Dupke married the “love of his life,” Rhonda Dobson. They traveled to Alaska, Mexico and the Caribbean and loved to relax anywhere under the sun, always competing for the best tan.

Besides traveling, Dupke loved to hunt, fish and hike and could be found out near his Diamond Point cabin, scouting for the best hunting spots.

Bathke said Dupke shared some of his secret hunting spots with him but, no, he can’t tell you where they are.

“Bill had such a huge personality and a love for life,” the program reads. “Although he was only given 59 years here on Earth, he lived each day to its fullest and touched the lives of so many people around him.”

Dupke never complained about his illness or spoke much about it much while working, Wisner said. Therefore, when Wisner learned Dupke wanted a full fire service funeral, he was a little surprised. But he said, he believes Dupke wanted a way to say goodbye to his fellow firefighters.

“Goodbye, old friend,” Wisner said.

Bathke said he hopes Dupke’s family finds comfort in the department and communities’ profound gratefulness for Dupke’s service.

The Color Guard presented Rhonda with an American flag and a bell was rung nine times to commemorate Dupke’s service.

Payson dispatch then toned out Dupke’s final alarm, thanking him for his service and, as a final assignment, asked him to watch over his family and fellow firefighters.
