RAINBOW Predictions of a wet winter already seem to have born fruit, with the weekend’s rain slopping over into the week. Weather forecasters predict a 60 percent chance for rain today and Wednesday, before skies clear on Thursday. The forecast then envisions a 20 percent chance for rain Thursday and Friday, with a clear weekend. Highs will dip into the mid 60s and then rise into the low 70s for the weekend. Payson has received nearly 18 inches of rain so far this year, including 1.87 inches in October. That makes 2015 the first nearly

normal span in several years, in the midst of a drought that has consumed most of the last decade. Normally, Payson gets 1.45 inches of rain in October and about 21.3 inches of rain annually, nearly 72 percent higher than statewide average of 12.4 inches. Several days of scattered rainstorms have boosted the flow of the Salt River to 118 percent of normal, although Tonto Creek at Roosevelt remains at just 44 percent of normal, according to the Salt River Project daily water report.

Blowback on backflows by
Michele Nelson
roundup staff reporter
The Pine Strawberry Water Improvement District board voted to suspend any further action on the issue of backflow installations until a committee reviews the policy. The vote came after a series of stories in the Roundup, based on customer complaints. The board acted after listening to Ken Ashlock, a backflow specialist from Cross Connection Environmental, as well as its lawyer. Todd Hamblin, a longtime horse property owner in Pine, had protested the district’s policy after receiving a letter from the district

Julia Randall Elementary students boost breast cancer awareness
by
Julia Randall Elementary students all showed up in pink on Monday in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, including Amy McEntire and Ainsley Meredith (at right). The Payson Roundup and its advertisers decided to get into the spirit of the month by printing the color pages in pink today. Check out the inside pages and the advertisers supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month, declared by the National Breast Cancer Foundation. One in eight U.S. women will develop breast cancer at some point in their lives, according to the National Cancer Institute. The chief risk factors remain genetics, a family history, high tissue density on a mammogram, use of alcohol, early menstruation and late menopause, long-term use of hormone therapy, a lack of exercise and obesity. Cure rates have risen steadily, especially with early detection.
District still aims to add AP classes by
Michele Nelson
roundup staff reporter
The Payson Unified School District has launched a plan to bring more advanced placement classes to the district as well as upping the rigor of classes starting at the elementary school level. The move comes as researchers across the country grapple to find evidence AP courses promote success in college and improve a student’s education. Early in the year, Superintendent Greg Wyman responded to the board’s request to enhance opportunities for Payson High School students to increase academic rigor and AP courses. “Specifically, there were concerns in the district regarding course offerings at the high

Wyman said the district currently has teachers certified to teach AP classes in language, literature, U.S. history, chemistry, physics, biology, calculus and statistics. He said although there is a cost to certify teachers to teach the AP curriculum, he planned to
do that during staff development. Wyman cautioned that the district won’t offer all AP courses every year because not enough students will enroll, but the district will do its best. “The goal will be to ensure

After a three recent sexting arrests, some Payson parents are wondering how they can prevent their child from sending explicit text messages and photographs. Recent surveys reveal sexting among teens is more prevalent than previously thought and most teens don’t know they face legal ramifications for sending or receiving messages, according to researchers. Many teens don’t call it sexting: For them, it is just sending photos. A sext — short for sex and text message — is defined by Arizona law as “visual depiction of a minor that depicts explicit sexual material. Phone applications like SnapChat, text messaging and websites like Facebook are popular avenues for teens to communicate, send “selfies,” and explicit messages — with or without images. A survey of undergraduates found that more than half had

Dozens of onlookers had tears in their eyes and cellphones in hand to film Myrtle Pyle Warter’s delighted turn across the dance floor Saturday at the Payson Elks Lodge. While she didn’t move as lightly as she once did, the smile on her face was as wide as the grin in the portrait of her in her 20s, which family had printed on a cake for the occasion. Warter celebrated her 100th birthday Saturday, making her one of the oldest pioneer descendants still living in Rim Country. Her secret to longevity: dancing, good genes and plenty of veggies. Friends, some also nearing centenarian status, described Warter as “young at heart” and someone who could still crack a joke. Warter grew up in Star Valley, her father’s family arriving in the area in 1890, with her grandfather once growing watermelons and corn where Banner Payson Medical Center now stands. On Oct. 17, 1915, Warter was born to Floyd Monroe Pyle and

sexted as minors. An alarming 28 percent had sent photographic sexts. Most did not know the law bars underage sexting — for both the sender and the receiver. Those aware of consequences of youth sexting proved much less likely to sext, according to the Drexel University study. The recent Payson sexting arrests include two teen girls who sent graphic photos. One girl reportedly sent images of herself to a man. Another girl sent images she’d found on the Internet, which she told the man were of her. Five years ago, Arizona passed a law that defined sexting to make it illegal for juveniles to send or post sexts through a cellphone or a computer. Previously, sexting was considered felony sexual exploitation of a minor, which would require a convicted person to register as a sex offender. “Because the consequences were so harsh, legal authorities often did not charge youth with

Angry that his then ex-girlfriend had taken his vehicle away, a Payson man went into her parents’ home, grabbed her phone away and fled before police arrived. For trespassing and aggravated assault, Shawn Carl Sparks, 44, will serve six months of supervised probation. Sparks said he was sorry Monday in a Payson courtroom to his girlfriend’s parents for going into their home while they were away. On June 11, Sparks’ then ex-girlfriend

called police when she heard Sparks breaking into her parents’ home. The woman, who is now back with Sparks, told police that she had purchased an all-terrain vehicle on her credit card for Sparks, with him agreeing to pay her back in installments. When they broke up, the woman took the vehicle back. When she told him this, he forced his way into her bedroom at her parents’ home. He then forcibly took her cellphone away. When he realized she’d been talking to police, he fled, according to a presentencing probation. Police arrested him the next day and booked him into jail.
The woman told the probation department that after Sparks was released from jail, she quashed an order of protection order she had out against him and they got back together. She said in the five years she has been with him, he has never hit or hurt her. With her help, Sparks started attending Southwest Behavioral for therapy. He feels more in control of his life now, said Sparks’ lawyer Barry Standifird. Judge Tim Wright sentenced Sparks to six months supervised probation per the probation department’s recommendation. The Gila County Attorney’s Office had asked for a year of probation.

Pioneers named her Gila County Pioneer Woman of the Year. Warter’s daughter Sherry Daniels, who teaches kindergarten in Payson, said her mother always insisted on eating plenty of veggies. Darlene Daniels, also Warter’s daughter, said one of her favorite things is that her mother was born in the same home that her own father was born in 1891. “Raymond Cline, a longtime rancher in the area, would always say, ‘There is the little lady who was born in my shed,’ because the house was little more than a shed at the time,” Daniels said.

after his dance with Warter. “I danced with her last year on her 99th and I plan to dance with her again next year,” he told the Roundup. Dancing was a regular pastime for Warter. She and her husband liked ballroom dancing. He passed in 1987. Warter continued dancing, this time to country western with dance partner Oscar Greer for eight years. When she wasn’t dancing, Warter loved to play bridge. After moving to Payson, she became active in the historical society and helped bring the museum to Green Valley Park.

a crime when caught sexting,” according to the University of Arizona’s Frances McClelland Institute for Children, Youth and Families. Under the new law, sexting is a class 2 misdemeanor. If guilty, a juvenile could spend up to four months in jail. Patty Ippolito, education outreach coordinator for the Time Out Shelter Inc., said she offered to give talks on sexting at Payson High School, but couldn’t get the approval of the administration. She wants to alert students to the dangers of sexting, both because it can lead to legal problems and because it can lead to sexual assaults. Some teens using messaging sites don’t really know who they’re communicating with — another teen or a sexual predator pretending to be a teen. Ippolito said she wants teens to think twice before they send a message or a picture, which could end up spread across the Internet. Other reports say about one in five teens have engaged in sexting and more than one-third know of a friend who has sexted. Mostly, sexters are older teens. Boys and girls are equally likely to receive sexts — but girls are twice as likely to send sexts.
Recommendations for teenagers • Remember that anything you send digitally (online or by cellphone) moves beyond your control. No matter how much you trust someone, once sent you no longer control it. • Think about whether you would do in person what you might show, say or send online or by cellphone. • If you forward someone else’s sext, you’re breaking the law. • If you receive a sext, do not forward it: delete it. Do not even show it on your phone to another minor: Showing it is the same as sending it. • Talk to your parents about their expectations for how you use your phone. • Educate your friends about the law. Source: The University of Arizona Frances McClelland
What can parents do to monitor their teen’s cellphone use? If parents pay a child’s cellphone bill, they have a legal right to inspect it, said Payson Police Chief Don Engler. Just as parents can search a child’s room,
they can also check their phone or computer. Many users put passwords on their cellphones and Engler encourages parents to know the passwords their children use. As a parent, Engler said he would take away a teen’s phone if the youth wouldn’t provide the password. In the recent sexting cases, the teens and their parents gave officers permission to search their SnapChat and Facebook accounts and to review text messages. While SnapChat messages automatically delete after viewing, receivers can take a photograph or a screenshot of the message. Officers found a string of explicit messages between teens, often discussing sexual acts, sending graphic photographs and masturbating through video messaging. On average, sexters spend more time online per week than their peers and are more likely to have been bullied, according to a University of Arizona study. The majority of teens report that their parents do not set any limits or controls on their cellphones. When parents do set limits on the number of texts or messages, it reduces the odds a teen will sext by 30 percent. Juveniles do not face possible charges for receiving a sext if they did not solicit the image,
Recommendations for parents • Talk with your teen about values and expectations regarding cellphone use, online activities, and sexuality. Be clear about expectations as well as consequences. • Consider a family cellphone contract • Learn about options from your cellphone provider, including limited texting; restrictions on sending images; Internet access • Younger teens may need more restrictions as they learn to use technology safely • Some parents do not want to violate privacy or trust; they view their teen’s cellphone as private. There is a balance between independence and monitoring a teen. Consider that privacy is a privilege that may be allowed as a teen gets older and can take on more responsibility. Institute for Children, Youth and Families
took reasonable steps to erase the image and did not forward the image to others. Legal consequences are least severe when a single image is exchanged between two minors.

lookback • Oct. 22, 1965: President Lyndon Johnson signs the Highway Beautification Act, which attempts to limit billboards and other forms of outdoor advertising along America’s interstates. • Oct. 20, 1973: Solicitor General Robert Bork dismisses Watergate special prosecutor Archibald Cox, whose investigation of the Watergate break-in revealed that the burglary was one of many possible abuses of power by the Nixon White House. Two days later, the House Judiciary Committee began to consider the possible impeachment of President Richard Nixon. • Oct. 21, 1988: “Mystic Pizza,” a romantic comedy starring unknown actress Julia Roberts, opens in theaters. Roberts would skyrocket to international fame when she appeared in the 1990 blockbuster “Pretty Woman.” • Oct. 19, 1991: A fire starts in the hills of Oakland, California, and within an hour, 800 buildings are ablaze. The firestorm would kill 25 people and destroy thousands of homes. Even though fires had ravaged the same area in 1970 and 1980, people continued to build homes there.
Pine water board shows flexibility “The measure of intelligence is the ability to change.”
Albert Einstein
At the moment, Einstein’s bit of wisdom would seem to apply admirably to The Pine Strawberry Water Improvement District. A couple of weeks ago, the district shut off the water of a customer and sometime critic of the board for lack of a backflow valve to prevent contaminated water from her horse trough from possibly getting into the water system. The customer protested and we wrote a little article, raising questions about the policy. For starters, did the district really need to require a $1,000 backflow valve bought from a designated contractor? As it turns out, Payson also requires people with horses to take steps to avoid backflow contamination of the water system – but those valves cost far less and people can use any number of valves and contractors. Next, should the district charge $250 per year to inspect the system once it’s installed? Again, Payson charges a much lower inspection fee. Finally, was the district selectively enforcing the rules? Did everyone who might keep a horse or livestock suffer a similar threat? The district could have just circled the wagons. Instead, the board decided to get some advice. So last week, a couple of experts talked through some of the issues with the board. As it turns out, the county zoning laws allow horses on almost every property in Pine and Strawberry. So in theory, the district could require everyone in town to get a $1,000 valve and pay a $250 annual inspection fee. Moreover, the experts said several much less expensive systems would provide sufficient protection. So the board has decided to set up a committee to thoroughly study all the questions raised – and in the meantime to suspend enforcement of the backflow provisions. We have to admire the flexibility of the water board – willing to reconsider a policy when they get new information. We suspect Theodore Roosevelt would approve. After all, he’s the one who said “there can be no life without change and to be afraid of what is different or unfamiliar is to be afraid of life.”
Offer more AP classes A rock and a hard place: That neatly describes the plight of most school districts these days – including our own beloved Payson Unified School District. Hampered by the foolish lack of support for education on the part of the state legislature, the district faces many no-win choices. Consider, for example, the struggle to find enough teachers and students to offer a robust list of Advanced Placement classes. The district has struggled to find both highly qualified teachers able and motivated students who have the time in their schedule and the parent support to take the college-level classes. Increasingly, the best colleges take into account how many AP classes prospective students take. Moreover, if the students can pass the demanding – and costly – tests at the end of the class, they can get college credit for work done in high school. Many districts have responded by sharply increasing their AP offerings. Alas, Payson does not consistently offer even some of the most fundamental AP classes – especially in the sciences. Sometimes, administrators can’t find a teacher with the right credentials. More often, they can’t find enough students to have a class of 12 or more. We applaud the focus on bolstering the number of AP classes Superintendent Greg Wyman recently announced. We hope the superintendent and the school board will make it a top priority, even if it sometimes means offering very small class sizes. Educators continue to debate the impact of Advanced Placement classes. Clearly, students who take AP classes do better in college – and probably have an easier time getting into the best colleges. But is that because of what they learn in those classes or because the classes tend to fill up with students from higher-income families with better educated parents. Do AP classes prepare students for college – or just give already blessed kids a greater advantage? Good questions, not easily answered. But those questions must not prevent the district from offering a full array of challenging classes. Offer the classes, then work to make sure that students from all backgrounds have a shot at getting into those classes and succeeding. That’s not easy, but it’s far better than keeping anyone from excelling because everyone can’t excel. So we urge the district to make the best of the bad choices an indifferent Legislature has forced upon it – and ensure that we offer challenging classes for even the best of students.

Let military EMTs use their skills Editor: Military veterans receive some of the best medical training and experience available when serving our country. Their sacrifices, commitment to duty, and ability to get the job done in austere environments make them exceptionally well suited for working as EMTs and paramedics in our communities upon their honorable separation from the U.S. Armed Services. Experienced military medics are often required to duplicate their medical training at the most basic level to receive certification to be hired for a civilian EMS job. The Veteran Emergency Medical Technicians Support Act of 2015 (S. 453/H.R. 1818) will help veterans return to work upon their completion of military duty and reduce unemployment among veterans. In 2012, 10,000 military medics separated and entered the civilian workforce. This important legislation makes it easier and faster for veterans who served as military medics to earn certification as civilian emergency medical technicians, and serves to fill an essential public function in communities across our nation. According to a recent Bureau of Labor Statistic’s Occupational Outlook, there will be 55,000 new civilian EMT and paramedic jobs created between 2012 and 2022. The projected job growth rate is 23 percent, much faster than the average for all occupations. S. 453/H.R. 1818 addresses these issues by: -- Amending the Public Health Service Act to direct the Department of Health and Human Services to establish a demonstration program for states with a shortage of emergency medical technicians (EMTs) to streamline state requirements and procedures to assist veterans who completed military EMT training to meet state EMT certification, licensure, and other requirements; -- Determining the extent to which the requirements for the education, training, and skill level of emergency medical technicians in the state are equivalent to requirements for the education, training, and skill level of military emergency medical technicians; -- Identifying methods, such as waivers, for military emergency medical technicians to forego or meet any such equivalent state requirements; -- Giving priority to states who demonstrate a shortage of emergency medical technicians, and -- Requiring no additional funding.

World Polio Day is Oct. 24 Editor: Celebrate with Rotary as the world approaches the total eradication of polio. As of 2015, smallpox is the only disease which has been totally eradicated worldwide. Polio cases peaked in the 1940-1950 era, at which time polio would paralyze or kill more than 500,000 people worldwide each year. The Jonus Saulk vaccine was announced to the world in 1955. In 1957, the March of Dimes promoted a mass immunization in the U.S. New cases of polio in the U.S. were reduced from nearly 58,000 to just 5,600. The Sabin vaccine quickly became the immunization of choice worldwide with its approval in 1961. The United States has been polio free since 1979. Rotary launched its Polio Plus program in 1979. This was the first initiative to tackle global polio eradication through the mass vaccination of children. Rotary has contributed more than $1.3 billion to date. Donor
governments have contributed more than $9 billion to the effort. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation will match two-to-one, up to $35 million each year through 2018. The most recent country to be declared polio free is Nigeria. Only two countries, Pakistan and Afghanistan remain with combined total cases of less than 450. The world is 99 percent polio free. World Polio Day was recognized by the Payson Town Council in its meeting on Oct. 15. Proclamations were awarded to each of the two Payson Rotary Clubs. Funds continue to be raised each week by Rotary Clubs around the world. If you would like to join in the polio eradication effort, contact your closest Rotarian and make your tax-deductible donation.

Editor: Traditionally a “gas war” is between competing gas stations in an individual town or location. In Payson, a “gas war” is all the stations getting together against their customers. As of this writing (Oct. 11) the lowest gas price in Payson was $2.54. That is the highest price for miles around. Other prices: Camp Verde $2.39 Heber $2.47 Globe $2.07 Cottonwood $2.35 Mesa $2.05 Phoenix $1.93 Even Pine has a lower price than you can find in Payson. Anyone who has access to gas prices is going to fill up either before they get to Payson or after they get out of town. These prices are not just hurting those of us who have to pay high prices in Payson but also the small business owners who rely on pass-through traffic. If our prices were competitive, drivers coming up the hill would more likely stop in Payson for gas and while here might also spend a little money at small businesses. For the well being of all of us, it is time to stop the gas gouging in Payson. If we do not see an immediate drop in gas prices, I suggest we all boycott the stations on the first Wednesday after this hits the paper. Let the owners know and feel the power of the purse.

Do drills lead to mass shootings? Editor: The article about the Payson School ‘running drills’ because of the Oregon shooting raises my hackles, because in every one of these mass shootings, drills were being run before it happened.

No matter what information is put in the boxes, it will not sign you up.

22 years of service to Rim Country Traditional MEDICARE SUPPLEMENTS (year-round)
Docent Pat Kuzma shows a young visitor the typewriter Zane Grey used to write many of his novels. Grey’s former gardener donated the machine to the museum when he read of the replica of the cabin where the author hunted beneath the Mogollon Rim.
Peter Aleshire
roundup editor
The irascible, vivid, obsessively productive, Zane Grey would hardly have recognized his house – sitting on the bright green grass in the grey, cool rain alongside Green Valley Park Lake in Payson. The Northern Gila County Historical Society on Saturday celebrated the 10th anniversary of the reconstruction of Zane Grey’s hunting cabin, consumed by the Dude Fire half a century after he had used it. The author of 90 books, which spawned 118 films and the Lone Ranger television series, Grey would have likely been aghast at the retreat of the wilderness from the Mogollon Rim Country he haunted and loved. But he probably would have appreciated the way the Rim Country Historical Society has maintained this exact copy of the home he loved – along with the typewriter on which he produced books that helped create the mythic west of our imaginations. A light rain the rugged outdoorsman would have laughed at chased most of the faint-of-
heart away from the celebration. But it didn’t discourage the band Junction 87 from entertaining the hard-core history buffs. Inside the cabin, docent Pat Kuzma, in pioneer dress, kept up a constant patter of fascinating Zane Grey facts. She explained that he virtually abandoned his cabin in the shadow of the Mogollon Rim after the newly minted Arizona Department of Game and Fish had the gall to inform him the state had imposed a hunting season on bears – and just about everything else. Disgusted by the encroachment of civilization, he shut up his cabin and never returned. These days, it’s hard to grasp the outsized cultural influence the avid hunter, fisherman and deep researcher of history had in his heyday. At his peak, he produced a seemingly endless parade of best sellers and raked in $300,000 annually – the equivalent of $6 million today. That made him one of the nation’s first millionaire authors. Born to a dentist father who beat him savagely and demeaned him endlessly, Grey veered between despair and wild productivity most of his life. He

All his life he suffered black spells he described as “a hyena laying in ambush,” but he could also write 100,000 words in a month in a frenzy of creativity. He helped create the mythic west, first in books, then in movies. But he sought always the true wilderness, as both balm and inspiration. After endless rejections, he produced “The Riders of the Purple Sage,” written in 1912, one of the most successful westerns ever written. From 1923 to 1930, he spent a few weeks a year at his cabin beneath the Mogollon Rim, hunting, fishing and learning firsthand the history of the west – and the nature of the frontier. The Great Depression killed book sales and overshadowed his success. But the distribution of

Mom Wyneen Wilderson, older brother Kyrin Montgomery and youngest brother Micheal Woolard get IDs done. The Payson Masons helped Head Start families get the protective bracelets and information.
Celebrating Head Start Month with ID help by

Wyneen Wilderson looked on as Roger and Paula Weber entered all of her children’s information into a database in case the worst happened – kidnapping, accident or disappearance. Kyrin, already finished with the process played while his younger brother Michael patiently, but with big eyes, allowed the Webers to process his fingerprints. The students and their families will receive a whole packet of information including a photo, a recording of their voice, a picture of their fingerprints, DNA analysis and all of their personal info – enough to hand off to the authorities in case of an Amber Alert, said Weber. “The CD is Amber Alert compatible,” he said. Jennifer Celauro, Head Start staff, said the Payson Masons offered to come to the Head Start classroom to sign up students for the valuable service as part
of the month long celebration of Head Start. The federal government began Head Start to address the specific needs of pre-elementary school children living in poverty. Head Start provides early education (pre-school), health, nutrition, and parent services. The program’s goals are to support family relationships, increase children’s physical and emotional well being, and to help prepare students to successfully navigate the school setting. Town of Payson’s Mayor Kenny Evans even stopped by to sign a proclamation announcing October as National Head Start Month in Payson. Weber said if any of the parents missed the ID program, they would be back at collecting information at the Health Fair in the Julia Randall Elementary Gym on Nov. 7. He said adults might even participate, if they are interested. Please call William Herzig from the Payson Lodge No. 7 if interested in more information: (928) 951-2662.
Here are some reasons you might like Ponderosa Bible Church: 1. We offer the traditional hymns you were probably raised on.
“The Old Rugged Cross” and “Amazing Grace” can still stir your heart in our traditional service at 9:30AM on Sunday mornings. Of course, if you like it louder and more contemporary, our 11:00 service offers that style of music, but the message is the same in both services.
2. We don’t pass an offering plate.
Offering boxes are located on the walls for those who can give to support the ministry, but you will not feel pressured to give.
3. Messages are directly from the Bible and are taught using pictures and notes that you can see on big screens.
This is especially helpful if you are beginning to lose your hearing. You can see the message as well as hearing it. We also have hearing devices for those who need extra help.
4. Dress is casual.
You can “dress up” for church if that is your style, but you can also feel free coming just as you are, and you will not feel out of place.
5. Transportation is provided for those who need it.
We just acquired a new van that can accommodate wheel chairs as well as regular passengers. Just call the church at 474-9279 and ask to be picked up. We will bring you to church and get you back home after you have enjoyed the time worshiping God with other believers.

Sweet pungent spice of secrets I love to secretly spike my pancake batter with cinnamon. Why? Guests wander into the kitchen, noses in the air, to sniff and ask, “Are you making cinnamon sugar toast?” I smile, just as the ancient traders in cinnamon smiled as they pocketed the crazy amounts of money they made from trading the spice. See, they kept secret the origin of cinnamon to keep the profits flowing. Traders actively nurtured rumors that the cinnamon was fished up in nets around the source of the Nile River at the edge of the world. Herodotus reported giant cinnamon birds collected cinnamon sticks from an unknown land to line their nests. It took a brave trader to collect the cinnamon sticks to trade. But cinnamon holds other secrets. A study published in Diabetics Care indicates cinnamon may improve glucose and lipids levels in Type 2 diabetics. The authors of the study said after eating 6 grams of cinnamon per day, Type 2 diabetics had fewer risk factors with both diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The spice, thought fit for gods by the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans, has many other secret healing powers according to the National Institutes of Health. NIH reports cinnamon has anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antitumor and immunomodulatory effects.

Ways to stay healthy this holiday season With the holiday season upon us, many people’s schedules are hectic once again. There are social events and family gatherings to attend, shopping ventures to make, and decorating to be done. While fun, the holiday season can be a time of added pressure, which leads to stress and other unhealthy situations. At a time when you want to be at your best, stress can affect your physical well-being. The American Psychological Association says the hustle and bustle of the holidays has psychological consequences for some people. More people are inclined to feel that their stress increases, rather than decreases, around the holidays. The National Institute of Mental Health says chronic stress can lower immunity and cause excretory, digestive and reproductive systems to stop working properly. Stress also may cause you to eat unhealthy snacks to cope, and that can lead to unwanted weight gain. Stress is not the only potential health hazard that can arise around the holidays. A greater number of parties expose you to an abundance of foods and drinks you may not consume on a regular basis, and that can lead to a lot of mindless eating. Weight gained during this time of year can be difficult to shed come January, when colder temperatures challenge many peoples’ motivation to exercise. Also, social settings put you in close contact with a greater number of people, potentially increasing your exposure to germs. You can still feel your best during the holidays. Follow these tips for maintaining a healthy mind and body. • Get the flu vaccine. The flu vaccine can protect you against various strains of the flu. Get a flu shot before the holidays so you are ready for cold and flu season.
DES announces assistance with 2016 Medicare Open Enrollment Medicare Open Enrollment runs this year from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7, which provides an opportunity for individuals to change their Medicare health plan and prescription drug coverage for 2016. Medicare is a federal medical insurance program for people age 65 and older and those under the age of 65 who have a qualifying condition or disability. The DES Division of Aging and Adult Services partners with the Area Agencies on Aging to offer assistance through the State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP), which are free, state counseling services that help people understand their Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Medigap and Medicaid benefits. Anyone with Medicare-related questions can receive free assistance from a SHIP counselor, even if they are not currently enrolled. For existing Medicare members, it is important to compare your current plans to what is offered in 2016, to ensure you have the plans that are best for you. If you feel that the 2016 Medicare Advantage or Part D coverage will meet your health care needs, it is still wise to check if there are other plans that offer better coverage at a more affordable price. The Plan Finder tool at Medicare.gov is the best way to search for a Medicare Part D and Medicare Advantage Plan. The tool lists all of the plans available in your area, with details about the premiums and personalized information about the out-of-pocket costs you’d pay, please go to: https://www.medicare.gov/find-aplan/questions/home.aspx Need local help with enrollment? Call 800-432-4040 for FREE assistance from a SHIP counselor or visit: www.azdes.gov/daas/ship/ or www.medicare.gov. Free enrollment assistance is also available, with no appointment necessary, at sites around the state. The assistance will be offered in the Rim Country of Gila County at the following locations: Oct. 30, 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Isabelle Hunt library, Pine Nov. 13, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., The Center (formerly Payson Senior Center), Payson
No Social Security cost-of-living adjustment for 2016 With consumer prices down over the past year, monthly Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits for nearly 65 million Americans will not automatically increase in 2016. The Social Security Act provides for an automatic increase in Social Security and SSI benefits if there is an increase in inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W). The period of consideration includes the third quarter of the last year a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) was made to the third quarter of the current year. As determined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there was no increase in the CPI-W from the third quarter of 2014 to the third quarter of 2015. Therefore, under existing law, there can be no COLA in 2016. Other adjustments that would normally take effect based on changes in the national average wage index also will not take effect in January 2016. Since there is no COLA, the statute also prohibits a change in the maximum amount of earnings subject to the Social Security tax, as well
as the retirement earnings test exempt amounts. These amounts will remain unchanged in 2016. The Department of Health and Human Services has not yet announced Medicare premium changes for 2016. Should there be an increase in the Medicare Part B premium, the law contains a “hold harmless” provision that protects approximately 70 percent of Social Security beneficiaries from paying a higher Part B premium, in order to avoid reducing their net Social Security benefit. Those not protected include higher income beneficiaries subject to an income-adjusted Part B premium and beneficiaries newly entitled to Part B in 2016. In addition, beneficiaries who have their Medicare Part B premiums paid by state medical assistance programs will see no change in their Social Security benefit. The state will be required to pay any Medicare Part B premium increase. Information about Medicare changes for 2016, when available, will be found at www.medicare. gov. For additional information, please go to www.socialsecurity. gov/cola.

Do your best to avoid stress or illness around the holidays. It is mostly a matter of common sense and simple precautions. • Carry disinfecting wipes. Germs can linger on surfaces long after an infected person has come and gone. Studies from researchers at the University of Arizona in Tucson have found the flu virus — and even the antibiotic-resistant bacteria MRSA — on airline tray tables. Buses, trains and doors all may be harboring germs. Wipe down surfaces with disinfecting wipes and allow them to air-dry before touching them. This can help you avoid coming into contact with germs. • Balance your activities. It can be tempting to overbook your schedule with a ton of activities, but this may ultimately prove
stressful. Leave days open to relax and do things you want to do, such as viewing Christmas light displays or even just unwinding at home with a good book. Try delegating some tasks to others in the household so you don’t take on too much responsibility. • Keep up an exercise routine. Don’t stray too far from your exercise schedule. You may have to move workout times to free up other time later in the day for shopping or parties. Early morning is a good time to exercise because it gets you moving first thing in the morning and might even encourage you to hit the sack a little earlier each
night, ensuring you get all the sleep you need. Exercise also can improve energy levels and relieve stress. • Don’t focus on food. Focus more on enjoyable activities that keep you moving rather than always being seated around the table for a big meal. Save indulgences for one or two treats on the holidays and eat sensibly otherwise. • Talk to someone. If the holidays have you feeling blue, talk to a friend or family member. If you need more professional support, find a social worker or psychologist that can help you work through stress and other feelings.
Celebrate with Rotary as the world approaches the total eradication of polio. As of 2015, smallpox is the only disease, which has been totally eradicated worldwide. Polio cases peaked in the 1940-1950 era, at which time polio would paralyze or kill more than 500,000 people worldwide each year. The Jonus Saulk vaccine was announced to the world in 1955. In 1957, the March of Dimes promoted a mass immunization in the U.S. New cases of polio in the U.S. were reduced from nearly 58,000 to just 5,600. The Sabin vaccine quickly became the immunization of choice worldwide with its approval in 1961. The United States has been polio free since 1979. Rotary launched its Polio Plus program in 1979. This was the first initiative to tackle global polio eradication through the mass vaccination of children. Rotary has contributed more than $1.3 billion to date. Donor governments have contributed more than $9 billion to the effort. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation will match two-to-one, up to $35 million each year through 2018. The most recent country to be declared polio free is Nigeria. Only two countries, Pakistan and Afghanistan remain with combined total cases of less than 450. The world is 99 percent polio free. World Polio Day was recognized by the Payson Town Council in its meeting on Oct. 15. Proclamations were awarded to each of the two Payson Rotary Clubs. Funds continue to be raised each week by Rotary Clubs around the world. If you would like to join in the polio eradication effort, contact your closest Rotarian and make your tax-deductible donation.

Pot dispensary seeks longer hours by
Alexis Bechman
roundup staff reporter
To better reach patients, Uncle Herbs, the area’s medical marijuana dispensary, wants Payson to let it extend its hours to 9 p.m. On Thursday, the town council held the first in two public hearings on the change with only one councilor speaking out against, the amendment. The town set the hours of operation for a marijuana dispensary before Uncle Herbs even opened in 2013. To keep some control over a dispensary’s use and placement, the council also specified that it must be at least 1,000 feet away from substance abuse centers and 500 feet from facilities that serve minors, including schools, among other provisions.
There can also only be one dispensary in town. Dispensary representatives asked the council to extend the hours of operation to 9 p.m. so they could better reach clients driving through town who may have forgotten their medicine; mothers and fathers who work and cannot get to the dispensary before it shuts and everyone else who may need their medicine, but cannot get there before they close at 5 p.m. Staci Scholl, who works at the dispensary, said the community is “everything to us” and they want to help patients get the medicine they need. Councilor Su Connell said she is very concerned with extending the dispensary’s hours and would find it difficult to support because the dispensary had not fulfilled on
promises it made the town. She did not specify what promises. Andrew Provencio, co-owner of the business, told the Roundup in 2013 that the dispensary planned to keep as much as 75 percent of excess revenue within the town. He repeated that Thursday night. By extending its hours, the dispensary would attract more clients, which would mean more sales tax revenue for the town, Provencio said. The dispensary collects 9.72 percent sales tax on each sale, with 2.12 percent going to the town. Scholl said the dispensary currently participates in the Adopt-A-Highway program and the Payson Area Food Drive. The council will hold a second public hearing on the dispensary’s hours before it votes.
Will Payson ease restrictions on signs? by
Alexis Bechman
roundup staff reporter
An ordinance that let’s business owners put temporary portable signs by the street to attract customers could stay in effect another 5.5 years. The council put a sunset clause on the ordinance when it initially approved it in 2013. On Thursday, the council held the first public hearing to extend it. No one on the council spoke out against the ordinance, but Councilor Chris Higgins asked if there were some way to lessen the restrictions. Currently, the requirements for temporary signs narrow business owners to use one sign manufacturer in town that makes the metal A-frame bases. The signs must hang from these bases and be no bigger than six square feet in size. Examples of the
approved signs are on the corner of Main Street and the Beeline Highway, where Main Street businesses put signs out daily to direct traffic down the street. There has been some discussion on expanding the sign provisions, by the business community, Planning and Zoning Commission and the Rim Country Chamber of Commerce, but no alternatives were put forward, said Sheila DeSchaaf, with community development. DeSchaaf said if the council wants to change the sign requirements she recommends they first pass the extension on the existing ordinance so it does not revert. Then, the council could look at modifying it. The council will hold another public hearing on the ordinance before they vote on it.
Study: Extreme weather damages grasslands Fluctuations in extreme weather events, such as heavy rains and droughts, are affecting ecosystems in unexpected ways — creating “winners and losers” among plant species that humans depend upon for food. Arizona State University investigators conducted a sixyear experiment on the effects of climatic variability on desert grassland. The study revealed that alternating wet and dry years causes grasses to diminish, which allows shrubs to flourish. “We found that not all species could respond effectively to extreme weather events including both dry and wet conditions,” said Osvaldo Sala, professor with ASU School of Life Sciences. “Grasses don’t fare as well as shrubs, which is really important to know because cattle ranchers depend on grasslands to graze their herds. Humans could see a reduction in the production of food — mostly cattle for meat — as the provision of ecosystem services like this one change.” The findings were published in the online early edition of the journal Proceedings of the
National Academy of Sciences. “Interestingly, the effect of precipitation variability was amplified over the six years the experiment lasted and we still don’t know its end point,” said Laureano Gherardi, a School of Life Sciences postdoctoral research associate and co-author of the paper. “Therefore, the effect of the expected climatic variance may be even larger and the ecosystem may shift into a different state,” he added. The researchers created 50 study plots in the Chihuahuan Desert in New Mexico, at the Jornada Long Term Ecological Research site. They increased precipitation variability on each plot to mimic the project-
ed increase in the frequency of weather extremes such as drought and unusually wet conditions. Over a six-year period, the plots were alternately irrigated or subjected to dry conditions. “Shrubs did rather well under these conditions because of their growing response to annual precipitation, but the grasses declined as a result of their limited response to wet years,” said Sala, also a distinguished sustainability scientist with the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability. “A desert grassland ecosystem could fairly quickly change into a different state, such as shrub land. This would have serious
consequences for humans.” Sala added that some of the more dramatic changes to the grasslands did not occur until later in the study, proving how important long-term studies are, as well as the difficulty of making long-term predictions based on short-term experimentation.
Play examines teen drug use The Longhorn Theatre Company on Thursday, Friday and Saturday will present “Addict,” a compelling look at the use of drugs among teenagers. The series of one-act plays deals with the drug crisis among teens with searing honesty, all acted by Payson High School Students. The National Institute on Drug Abuse every year conducts surveys of drug use among student in the eighth through 12th grade. The survey shows declining use of illegal drugs and alcohol over time, although usage remains alarmingly high. Some of the findings from the 2014 survey include: -- In the past month, 9 percent of eighth-graders, 24 percent of 10th-graders and 37 percent of 12th-graders report they’ve used alcohol. In 2009, the corresponding figures were 15 percent, 30 percent and 44 percent. --Among 12th-graders, 19 percent reported binge drinking (five drinks in a row) in the past two weeks, compared to 32 percent in 1998. -- In the past month, 1 percent of eighth-graders, 3.2 percent of ninth-graders, 4.4 percent of 10th-graders and 6.7 percent of 12th-graders reported smoking cigarettes daily. By contrast in 1997, smoking peaked at 24 percent of 12th-graders. -- In the past year, 27 percent of teens say they’ve used illegal drugs -- down from a peak of 34 percent in 1997. -- Marijuana remains the most widely used illegal drug among teens. In the pat month, 6.5 percent of eighth-graders, 17 percent of 10th-graders and 21 percent of 12th-graders report use of marijuana in the past month. About 80 percent said marijuana is easy to get. -- The majority of high school seniors say they don’t think marijuana is harmful and only 36 percent say regular use put the user at “great risk.” However, 73 percent say they disapprove of adults who use marijuana regularly.

Students have problems with math standards Studies show mixed results on benefits of AP classes by
Lexus Scott
arizona sonora news
The AIMS test results have been offering Arizona students’ and parents a distorted view of their students abilities for years, according to education advocacy groups. Updated tests will likely offer far less comfort. A year ago, the numbers suggested that Arizona students scored better than the national norm. The state used the AIMS test to measure and it showed seven out of 10 Arizona students were proficient in math. Why the change? Now, the state test has changed. Educational experts say the test Arizona used was not equal to the test standards other states used. Now that the new standards are applied, a clearer picture of the mathematical abilities of the Arizona students emerged. Arizona students are worse in math than students in 33 other states according to data provided by the Nation’s Report Card. Arizona is not the only state struggling with proficiency in mathematics; the entire United States has poor mathematic proficiency scores. The National Assessment of Educational Process (NAEP) found that seven out of 10 students in the U.S. scored at or above basic level in mathematics in 2013. The Foundation for Excellence in Education found the proficiency gap in Arizona set the bar too low leading students, teachers and parents to believe students are performing better than they actually are. Arizona adopted the Common Core math standard in 2010 along with 42 other states to correct the proficiency gap occurring in the states. In a classroom in Tombstone, Linde Mohr, a high school algebra teacher, has included “story problems” in her curriculum to help students better understand mathematical concepts of Common Core. “Everything is easy when you know how,” the class motto of Mohr. The lesson of the day was solving by elimination in her first class of the day, Algebra B. The problem on the board was Rose bought 3 shirts, 5 skirts and spent $140. Daisy bought 2 shirts and 3 skirts and spent $87. How much was spent on each skirt? The solution was $19 per skirt. “That’s an expensive skirt,” said one student. “No it’s not, do you know how much a skirt costs at American Eagle?” another student asked. “This isn’t fashion class, I just wanted you to go from story problem, to setting it up, is everyone OK now,” said Miss Mohr. Story problems are just one way math is revolutionizing to try to get students to figure

out which mathematical method to use, set up the equation and then solve the equation. What is Common Core math? Common Core math was created to help solve the “math problem” occurring in the United States, causing the nation to fall behind other countries. Common Core math attacks the traditional math method of memorization of formulas to find the answer to an equation. Through common core math, the student must take an analytical approach to problem solving as opposed to just solving the problem, to increase the student’s college and career readiness. According to the Common Core state standards initiative, the new standard focus on concepts the students previously learned at earlier ages, and build upon them. “The Common Core curriculum expects them to know how to do some things that we are teaching them now,” said Mohr. “These kids have had nine years of school but not nine years of Common Core.” How has Common Core stacked up thus far? Last spring was the first year of the AzMerit test, a test designed to replace the AIMS test implementing the common core math standards. According to the unofficial results, average percentage of students who scored under proficiency, ranging from third grade through eighth grade was 63.5 percent.
The results are the opposite of previous year’s AIMS test results but according to the Arizona Department of Education, these results were expected since the test had higher standards than the previous AIMS test. What does this mean for the future? According to the Pew Research Center Americans believe math and science are less critical to success than math and science. This belief could be the source of the U.S. lagging behind other countries in the Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) workforce. The Pew Research Center found that the U.S. places 35th out of 64 countries in math scores from the Program For International Student Assessment (PISA), which evaluates the knowledge of 15-year-old students in developed and developing countries. The U.S. Department of Commerce expects the STEM workforce to increase by 17 percent from 2008 to 2018. In order to produce enough workers to technically skilled workers to fill these jobs, the U.S. must improve its mathematical skills and the Arizona Department of Education considers Common Core Math as the solution.

that all AP courses are offered during a student’s four-year career so that they will have maximum opportunity to take all AP courses,” he wrote in the memo to the board. But are all these AP courses worth the effort for students and teachers? Researchers have come back with mixed reviews. Most research shows that students who take AP classes do better in college, in addition to saving money by getting introductory course requirements done in high school. For instance, a University of Texas at Austin College of Education study involving 222,289 students at Texas universities found that those students who took more than one AP class outperformed their peers in college. The researchers took into account students’ academic ability and socio-economic backgrounds. The study found AP students in college had higher GPAs, earned more credit hours, and graduated in four years or less, in comparison with students who did not take AP courses. Another study by the University of Texas at Austin involving 29,000 students, found that AP students placed out of introductory classes because of their AP credits and did better in the more advanced classes they substituted than did the non-AP students. On the other hand, some researchers have questioned whether AP classes simply give an even greater advantage to students from higher-income, better-educated families, whose parents push them to take the more advanced classes and pay for the tests they need to get college credit. Denise Pope, a senior lecturer at the Stanford School of Education, reviewed 20 studies on the impact of AP classes. She said the studies do show students taking AP classes do better in college, but few of the studies explained why. She believes AP courses attract students who have the resources and parental support to make them successful in college with or without AP courses. “It could just be that kids who take APs are kids who come from better high schools or high schools that better prepare them for college work, or they have better teachers or
they’re naturally more motivated,” she said in an article in the Stanford Report. She said AP classes concentrate the best students, who get additional resources in the form of smaller classes and more experienced teachers. Moreover, students “need to be prepared for what an AP course involves,” she said, “The extra tests, extra homework, on top of an already demanding schedule, can be brutal. And a very low grade on your transcript from an AP course may hurt you more in the long run than not taking an AP in that subject at all.” AP classes can also feed into racial disparities. One analysis of AP courses in Arizona looked at the race of students taking AP classes, although the study didn’t account for differences in family income and parent education levels. The researchers from Lou Felton Teachers College found that whites accounted for most of the students in the AP classes. When Hispanics did take the AP classes, they were less likely to pass the exam needed to actually get college credit. The researchers concluded those with fewer resources need more help to equal the results of their white counterparts. Nonetheless, more and more schools now offer AP classes and the number of students taking the exams doubled between 2005 and 2015. Universities look closely at students’ applications to see how many AP classes they have taken. Wyman hopes that by allowing flexible scheduling between the middle and high schools, students who excel will have the chance to take more advanced classes that lead to AP classes. He also told the board that online classes and summer school also allow for more chances to take more advanced courses. Wyman cautioned that state funding makes a difference in the whole plan. “These strategies are being developed understanding the impact of funding and the availability of teachers, but also in a manner where a specific strategy may be utilized to help address concern,” he said. “Specific administration recommendations for some of these strategies will be brought before the board for final action.”

Frybread gets lifted by dunks Testicle Festival dunk tank helps families in need On Oct. 3, the Frybread for Families nonprofit organization raised money for Payson area families during the recent Testicle Festival at the Mazatzal Hotel & Casino. The Frybread for Families members coordinated a basketball dunk tank. Six community members cheerfully allowed themselves to be dunked for dollars, and the casino matched funds raised. Frybread for Families thanked the “Dunkees,” Tribal Gaming Executive Director Chad Connolly, Mazatzal Casino General Manager Roger Leslie, Payson Police Officers Mike Varga and Garth Linkey, Mazatzal Team Member Heather Gingry and Tribal Council Member Junior Tinnin. Frybread for Families is a nonprofit organization and the employee outreach program of Tonto Apache Tribal Enterprises. The fundraiser helps families in need in the greater Payson community by selling frybread throughout the year. Frybread for Families is again joining other local nonprofit organizations to help more families at Christmastime. The combined groups named themselves “Nonprofits Coming Together” or NPCT.

demanding he immediately install a backflow system on his property to protect the PSWID water system from possible contamination if the water in the horse troughs on his properly flowed into the water system through the hose. The district wanted him to install a backflow regulator, which could cost $1,000. The district would also require him to pay for a $250 annual inspection of the backflow device. However, Hamblin said he has an air gap system on his trough – which means the hose is attached to the fence and fills the trough without ever being submerged in the trough. That makes it virtually impossible for water to go back up the hose from the trough because the end of the hose never goes below the tank’s water line. When asked by board member Richard James if an air gap system is sufficient protection, Ashlock said yes – although he offered a caveat. “You are legal so long as the water district approves,” said Ashlock, “The water district is the one who can say if you can do that if you want.” But the lawyer did say a specialist has to install the air gap and only a certified inspector could guarantee the air gap met environmental and safety standards. That answer lead the board to wonder potential liability should a livestock owner install an the air gap system that failed. “What liability would be on that property owner?” asked Paul Randall, board member. “If he had horse property and you had backflow in the water system, then he has liability,” said Ashlock. The board’s lawyer agreed. “What is clear is that the district can do whatever they want,” he said, “Does ADEQ require a backflow prevention device if livestock is present? No. The district can require that. Is there liability? No, not a lot of liability there.” The lawyer wanted to make sure PSWID customers were aware of their liability in the event they contaminated the water system. “A hose can be left in a lot more things than a horse trough,” he said. Another question the board addressed, how does the water district decide what properties need a backflow device installed? District officials have insisted several customers install the backflow protection devices, but those customers say the rule has been selectively enforced. Board member Maher Hazine said he decided to look into just how many horse properties were in Pine and Strawberry. “I checked with Gila County – frankly every property in Pine and Strawberry could be a horse property,” he said. Danny Zamora, the CH2M district manager, said a former employee who was certified as an inspector trained the staff on what to look for on a property to determine if a backflow device were necessary. “Right now, we go off a sheet … it’s got
Ken Ashlock addressed the Pine Strawberry Water Improvement District Board on the subject of backflow valves. Below, board members Russell Brock and Maher Hazine consult. The board decided to study its own policy after experts weighed in. Customers have complained about selective enforcement of a requirement to buy a $1,000 valve.
bullet points,” he said. Some of the points include, does the property have a private well, retention pond, sprinklers, thermal solar system, commercial or residential property, and is livestock on the property. As for who can inspect properties, Ashlock said staff must be properly trained and certified to determine if a backflow device is necessary and well maintained. After absorbing the presentation and
advice from the experts, Hazine suggested convening a committee to address the specifics brought up during the meeting. Hazine, James and Trent McNeeley would serve as board members, while the board asked Hamblin if he would serve as a representative of the public. “We do need to move quickly,” said Hazine, “Our responsibility is to protect the system so staff is not making a subjective decision. We need to make it clear.”
Cooler days call for heartier meals Ah, October in Rim Country! Invigorating air as we get to the second half of the month, lightly scented with wood smoke on chilly mornings. Sunlight slanting at an angle that in late afternoon paints everything in its path golden. Pine cones take the place of acorns on the patio. There are two SENIOR aspen trees in our MOMENTS front yard, only Carol Zebb feet from each Roundup columnist other, nearly the same size and exposed to the same amount of sunlight and moisture, but for some reason, one’s leaves turn color and fall two to three weeks before the other. The early one is now in autumn dress of bright yellow while its partner is still green. I can’t explain it, but it makes me happy to have the autumn season extended. The flowering plum is deep red and the Japanese maple in the back yard is golden-orange. In the yard across the street is a bush that has leaves that are almost pink. The riotous colors are interspersed and accented by the numerous pines clothed in their year-round green. How blessed we are to live in such a beautiful place! Cooler days call for heartier meals. I love cookbooks, especially those published by various organizations and filled with delicious recipes contributed by their members. Even better are those that include comments or sayings from contributors.
Over the years of living in Payson, I have collected several, ranging from The Versatile Zucchini Cookbook compiled in 1979 by the Anglican Church Women of The Church of the Holy Nativity to Recipes from the Rim Country Honoring its Women, a collection by Soroptimists International of Zane Grey Country published in 2003. Following are some comments from my collection. Before you give someone a piece of your mind, make sure you can spare it (Cooking From Denim to Lace, 1990); Please, Lord, fill my mouth with worthwhile stuff, and nudge me when I’ve said enough (Heavenly Dishes, Mystical Rose Sodality, St. Philip the Apostle Church, Payson, AZ, no date); It’s nice to be important, but it is more important to be nice (Artists Gourmet Favorites, no date); and from my all-time favorite author, Gladys Taber, following a recipe for New England Clam Chowder (You will, if you are sensible, float an extra dollop of butter on top. Stillmeadow Cook Book, 1965). In today’s changing society, most recipes now come from a computer, the Food Network and other television cooking shows or even on a smart phone. I confess I enjoy watching them and it is easier to download a recipe from a computer screen than search through a cookbook, but paging through a real cookbook is still a joy to me.

With a score of 64.78, the Payson High School Pride of Payson Marching Band placed third in its division after its first competition at ASU band day on Saturday, Oct. 10. With half of the band members in the freshman class, the competition marked the first time they had ever competed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and they held their own. Didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt that the band had practiced hard for three months. The score proved all of the hard work paid off. All that practice especially helped when the band had to make a last-minute shuffle before entering the field â&#x20AC;&#x201C; instead of the percussion pit performing at the back of the band, it had to perform in the front. The reason? The marimba (a xylophone of African origin) had plastic wheels instead of air filled rubber wheels. The staff at ASU said those wheels would tear up the grass, so the band could only play it on the tarp laid out at the front of the field. That changed everything. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was really scared â&#x20AC;&#x201C; really freaking out,â&#x20AC;? said Drum Major Josh Shaw, â&#x20AC;&#x153;But everything was OK.â&#x20AC;? To any observer, however, Shaw didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t break his stride or change his expression to give away his feelings. The problem with moving the percussion from the back of the band to the front changed how they timed their music. When they perform at the back of the band, the band plays away from them altering the timing of the music. Instead of following the drum major a little bit off time, the percussion had to follow him exactly on time. They did so, while the band played louder than any other that had played before, according to PHS Principal Brian Mabb who listened to the band from the stands. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were the loudest,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We saw three other bands and they were the loudest.â&#x20AC;? Mabbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter Lizzie plays the saxophone. The whole Mabb family showed up to support her and the band. New band director Jose Martinez said he felt good after the performance.

Freshmen Cole Babcock (mellow phone) and Alex Mastin (trumpet) felt the heat. After the performance they both had the post performance jitters. The two went over the performance doing their moves and promising that they would do better next time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was a little nervous before,â&#x20AC;? said Babcock. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought I would forget something,â&#x20AC;? said Mastin. But the judges rewarded their hard work. In his post-performance wrap up, Martinez only had praise for the band. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You did a good job, especially with the situation,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is a sign of a mature group. Any other group would have what?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Freaked out!â&#x20AC;? replied the band members. Martinez smiled. He knows he has a good group.

Lobos feast on injury-plagued Longhorns 49-7 Snowflake wins 6th straight vs. PHS by
Keith Morris
D4 Section 1 Football
roundup sports editor
SNOWFLAKE – We can only imagine. Because we never got the chance to see it. This was supposed to be different. After Payson ended 34 years of frustration at Lakeside Blue Ridge in week six, the Longhorns seemed destined to roll into a showdown at No. 4 Snowflake with a chance to establish themselves as a challenger not only for the section championship, but the state crown, as well. But high school football players aren’t robots. Injuries happen. Oh, do they happen. The No. 12 Longhorns simply couldn’t overcome the absence of five starters unable to take the field for health reasons in a 49-7 thrashing by the surging Lobos. It’s Payson’s sixth straight loss to Snowflake dating back to 2008, when the Longhorns beat the Lobos 52-15 at Snowflake then won 36-19 in the Class 3A state quarterfinals at Mesa en route to a 14-0 season. Payson had never beaten Snowflake until posting a dramatic 26-23 victory on Oct. 15, 1999. That kicked off a stretch in which the Longhorns went 5-4 against the Lobos from 1999-2008. But the dominance has returned as Snowflake has won all six meetings since, with a 14-7 game in 2005 the only game in the series the Lobos haven’t won by at least 31 points. Friday’s game represented one of the biggest blowouts in series history. No other game for which the Roundup has scores dating back to 1984 was as lopsided. Snowflake enters this week’s section showdown with Show Low 8-0 after another dominant performance on both sides of the ball. The Lobos (3-0 section) have outscored opponents 309-40. Only

one team has scored more than eight points against them. That was Florence in a 20-12 Lobos’ win. It marked the fourth time this year that Snowflake has scored at least 40 points. But it was Payson that started fast in this game. The Longhorns led 7-0 after Shane Law raced 67 yards on the game’s second play from scrimmage. The home team didn’t waste time answering. And answering. And answering. Tyler Claridge completed 12 of 17 passes for 206 yards and four touchdowns for Snowflake. J.T. Tate caught four passes for 61 yards and a pair of TDs. Luke Craun ran five times for 84 yards and two scores. Zach

Cameron Moore nears the end zone on a touchdown run against Flagstaff on Sept. 25. The Longhorns won that game then beat Blue Ridge. However, injuries have hurt Payson, which lost its second straight game last week to fall to 5-3. Solomon added 89 yards on 15 carries as Snowflake finished with 403 yards of total offense. And the Lobos’ defense rose up to slam the door shut on the Longhorns, who became the seventh team that failed to reach the end zone more than once against Snowflake. The Longhorns blocked two extrapoint kicks and the Lobos missed a third kick.
Starters Wyatt Chapman, Brigham Flake, Taran Sarnowski, Korben White and Alex Suarez missed the game because of injury. Ruben Estrada (ankle) returned after missing the loss to Winslow the previous week but was limited by his injury. Payson fell to 5-3 overall and 1-2 in the section. But the Longhorns probably won’t slide much from their No. 12 Division 4 power ranking, if at all
Novack glad to be back on court by
Keith Morris
roundup sports editor
For the first month of the season, Sara Novack kept stats and cheered on her Payson High volleyball teammates. A knee injury prevented her from playing the key role she expected to play. But she was used to playing a supportive role after tearing her anterior cruciate ligament, medial collateral ligament and meniscus in her left knee in the first game of the girls basketball season last year and missing the rest of the year. She underwent surgery on Feb. 5. Eight months later, she joined her teammates on the court for the Sept. 25 home game against Fountain Hills. “It’s great to be back playing,” she said. “It was a long eight months.” In her sixth game, Novack helped the Longhorns beat Winslow 3-2 at Wilson Dome on Oct. 13. Head coach Desirae Burris said it’s great to have the team captain back in the lineup. “She brings an awesome leadership on the court that we were missing. All the girls trust her.” The coach said she’s noticed a change in her players since the right-side hitter came back. “Our attitude has definitely picked up since she’s been on the court and with us,” Burris said. “We were missing leadership, so that’s really nice. And it’s awesome to have a smart hitter on the court.” It’s not just spiking the ball at the net that makes Novack a key player. “She takes the second set and setter’s one of the leaders on the court,” Burris said. “So it’s really nice to have somebody who’s confident taking that second set and leading the court when the setter takes the first hit.” Junior Emma Creighton said having Novack back settles the lineup.“It’s really great. Sara hits spots very well.” Creighton said Novack’s even made her contribution from the bench. “She’s been here the whole time and she’s been cheering us on. She’s always been a leader on and off the court whether she was hurt or not she was always there for us.”

Catch a Game The Longhorns host Ganado today at 6 p.m. at Wilson Dome. Novack said she’s relishing the chance to play volleyball again. Of course, she’ll also be ready for a full basketball season. “I wish I had the whole season, but it’s nice that I got to come back for half the games,” she said. Even when she couldn’t play, “it was a big important thing to be part of it,” she said. Classmate Tessa Hintze also sat out the
entire 2014-15 basketball season after tearing the ACL on her left knee last year in volleyball. She was set to return this season, but had to undergo another surgery. She hopes to return for basketball. Novack said it was good for both of them having each other dealing with the same issue. “She got hurt before me, so it was good to have someone who already knew what was going to happen so I could ask her advice,” Novack said. “We were just there for each other.” The Longhorns lost to defending Division 3 state champion Kayenta Monument Valley 3-0 on Saturday.
because teams are rewarded for playing strong teams. This week’s rankings were released today. The Longhorns close their home schedule with a section game against Page (1-7) at 7 p.m. Friday. They travel to face unbeaten section rival Show Low to end the regular season on Oct. 30. Snowflake and Show Low square off in Show Low this week to decide the section championship.
