Fire at high school

Students were evacuated from Payson High School and Payson Center for Success Thursday afternoon after a brush fire started between the two schools.

The report of a tree on fire came in just before lunch. The fire spread quickly from the tree near the back of PCS to the vegetation on a hillside between the two facilities.

One teacher grabbed a hose and ran it through a window to dampen the ground in front of PHS because the hose was not

long enough to reach the flames.

Responding Payson firefighters swiftly extinguished the flames, which did not damage either school.

No one was injured.

“We appreciate their quick response and help with the situation,” said Superintendent Greg Wyman. “There was no damage to any structure and students did not miss any class time.”

The schools investigated the incident, said Wyman, and have identified the students involved.

“The school will take the appropriate discipline for the situation,” said Wyman.

Payson thieves key on unlocked cars & homes by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

Although Payson Police have arrested five people suspected in a rash of vehicle break-ins, officers still are urging people to lock up their vehicles.

Nearly all of the 32 vehicle break-ins in September and October involved unlocked cars, said Police Chief Don Engler.

The bulk of vehicle break-ins have occurred in the neighborhoods around Payson High School and the Tonto Oaks Condominium complex behind Walgreens.

Usually at night or the early morning hours, thieves test car doors until they find one that’s not locked. Then they rummage around for anything of value, whether it’s an iPod, wallet, purse or firearm.

Most thieves sell what they steal to support a drug habit, said Engler.

The five arrests in the past two months included two juveniles, an 11-year-old male and a 17-year-old female.

The other arrests included Dustin Shane Patrick Ford, 32, a transient and Carrie Ann Ingram, 44. Both face bur-

glary and fraudulent use of a credit card charges. Police also arrested Jessica Denise Percival in September on burglary charges.

Engler expects additional arrests.

Police have often linked surges in burglaries with an individual or small group. In January 2012, dozens of vacation home break-ins ended with several arrests, which ended the mayhem. Also in October 2012, police saw a sudden rash of vehicle break-ins similarly involving unlocked cars, according to Roundup archives.

These thieves appear to be working alone or with one other person.

And most don’t appear to have a plan.

“Every time we think we’ve caught them all,” he said.

“Another group pops up.”

They try vehicle doors until they find one open.

As soon as one thief is arrested, officers find another.

Currently, only patrol officers work on the vehicle burglaries due to a lack of detectives.

Engler said officers have located the thieves in several different ways.

In some cases, the thieves use a stolen credit card, which police can then link to the break-in.

Other times, officers pick up someone for another crime, then find the stolen goods. Police have also identi-

The cash flows in — and out again.

The Pine-Strawberry Water Improvement District pulls in about $2.6 million a month — but spends about $2.4 million, according to the September monthly financial report presented at this week’s board meeting.

Still one board member short and with three members stepping down this year, the board waded through a host of issues in its two-hour meeting last week.

Among other things, the board received a report from an independent auditing firm detailing the things the district has to do to tighten up its fiscal controls. The district was rocked earlier this year by the indict-

ment of former treasurer Mike Greer on a host of charges relating to his handling of credit cards, the district’s financial systems and contract bids that posed a conflict of interest.

Only Tom Weeks was on the board during the period Greer allegedly defrauded the district, but the board has been rocked by recalls, audits, conflicts and mass resignations.

Current board members Richard James, Paul Randall and Trent McNeeley have all decided to not run for re-election.

Larry Bagshaw is running for another term and one other seat remains empty. Only three people filed to run for four open spots, so they’ll automatically go on the board in January. The board itself will pick a seventh member at that time.

At its next meeting, the board will consider the recommendations of the auditors to prevent fresh financial accounting problems.

In the meantime, the board continues to operate a complicated, long-neglected water system, while weathering staff changes and looking for a general manager to oversee the consulting firm now running the 3,200-customer district.

A big chunk of the $2.6 million a month the district collects from customers and its property tax levy goes to make payments on the $6.5 million loan the district used to buy the system from Brooke Utilities. The district also scrambles to keep the system patched together — with about 17 new leaks in the aging network of undersized, plastic and asbestos-infused concrete pipes it inherited.

On the positive side, the district has also dramatically increased its

Green Valley Park eagles delight

The snow (headed) birds have definitely returned to the Green Valley lakes — wide-ranging, migratory bald eagles voting with their wings against a winter in Canada or Alaska.

So photographer DJ Craig has returned to his vigil, working patiently to capture that perfect image of the national bird, with its eight-foot wingspan and voracious appetite for fish, coots, ducks or anything else it can pluck from the earth.

The eagle line dates back some 50 million years, although the sea eagle branch of the family emerged

Pride in Payson day by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

Do you have 15 minutes to invest in Payson?

On Friday, Oct. 28, town officials want residents to go outside at 10:28 a.m. for 15 minutes to help pick up trash, pick weeds and spruce up the town.

The Take Pride Clean Outside effort is part of October’s Community Planning month.

Jason Larson, code enforcement officer, said other towns around the state are hosting similar events, including Prescott and Flagstaff.

He urged residents to stop what they’re doing at that time and go outside to help pick up, whether they’re

at work, school or out shopping.

As the code enforcement officer, Larson says he deals with blight all the time.

While it can be overwhelming to tackle the issue alone, residents working together can have a big impact even in just a few minutes.

“We just want the town to be clean,” he said. “If we can’t maintain what we have and make it appealing to outside businesses that would consider coming in or just being a good neighbor and keeping properties clean, it does not suggest good growth.”

Everyone can take pride in a clean community, he said.

For information, contact Larson at 928-472-5039.

Fall in central Arizona is always magical. Reds, yellows and oranges can be found, but as a hiker, I must hunt out the nicest spots for fall color. Bear Canyon Lake is one of those spots for yellow. So, on Oct. 4, we took a chance and about 20 of us loaded up the cars at the Stage parking lot and headed east.

We drove to the trailhead at 7,500 feet off Forest Road 89A. We hiked down the switchbacked trail to the lake shore and turned left, to go clockwise around the lake. We didn’t really need the occasional blue diamond markers on the easy trail. Bear Canyon Lake was

whether from hunger or the sheer joy of swimming in this beautiful lake.

The trail follows the shoreline along an arm of the lake.

The view of the aspens, all golden, reflected in the water was just stunning. We found a grassy meadow where the water flows into the lake and found seats on fallen tree trunks to have our snacks and were entertained by a blue heron. These birds are generally quite shy and never allow a person to get close. But this fellow was very interested in two fishermen out at the edge of the lake, posing for the photographers in our group.

We continued around the lake, even crossing the water

on fallen logs, to the other side of a finger of the lake. In a few spots, we had to finagle our way up and over a huge tree trunk and rocky outcroppings.

All too soon, we returned to the switchback to go back up to the cars.

It had been a perfect fall hike. Golden aspens that could compete with the sun, wildlife, fresh mountain air and sunshine. What else can a hiker ask for?

built by the Arizona Game and Fish Department specifically for anglers and is stocked with rainbow trout six times per year. A few hardy fishermen still plied the lake, although the stocking has long since ceased.

In about a mile, we reached the dam. We had to walk down to the water level and then back up on the dam. From the top of the grassy dam, we could see the spot where we had come down from the parking lot.

We continued on around the east side of the lake on a trail that grows more rocky, steep and slippery. On the positive side, we saw a fisherman catch a fish. We also saw a pair of bald eagles. Several times I saw fish jumping from the water,

about 25 million years ago. The modern line of bald eagles goes back at least a million years.

They can stare down the mafia, with their fierce yellow eyes — which by the way can distinguish detail at about four times the range of human vision.

They’ve got powerful, opposable talons, with scale-like texture to hang on to a slippery fish like Velcro. Eagles have been recorded flying with prey weighing 15 pounds, although they much prefer to grab up a one- or twopound fish.

Rim Country has nesting bald eagles at Woods Canyon Lake and along Tonto Creek and the Salt River. Those eagles return to the same nests year after year.

Bald eagles build perhaps the most massive nests in all the bird world, with the record-holding nest measuring 13 feet deep, 8

feet across and weighing an estimated 2.7 tons.

But the birds that frequent the Green Valley lakes are just seasonal residents. Some haven’t yet got the five years of life experience it generally takes an eagle to find his or her mate for life — and a breeding territory.

The Green Valley eagles likely spent the warm months in Canada or Alaska, often congregating in huge numbers for salmon runs and other gatherings of spawning fish.

They flock to Arizona in the cold, winter months, when life is easy and Payson stocks the Green Valley lakes with trout.

So head on down to Green Valley Park with some binoculars — and maybe a fishing pole.

But don’t feel bad if you can’t match the bald eagle’s catch rate.

They’ve been practicing for a million years.

And have the feet for it.

Chamber hopes to boost local shopping with prizes by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

Hurry, get shopping. This $6,000 giveaway could not be any simpler.

Gather all of your receipts from local purchases, including utility bills, and bring them down to the Rim Country Regional Chamber of Commerce on Main Street.

Each receipt will get you an entry into the Money on the Mountain drawing, a collection of gift certificates and prizes from businesses across the Rim Country and northern Arizona.

Chris Bertone, chamber mem-

bership manager, said the goal is to encourage residents to shop local and in nearby communities.

The Rim Country chamber is partnering with four chambers for the Money on the Mountain drawing, including Pinetop-Lakeside, Show Low, Snowflake-Taylor and Springerville-Eagar.

Shop in any of these communities — for gas, food, cars, gifts, even utility bills — and bring in your receipts to the chamber to enter the drawing.

Each receipt from Payson gets you two entries for the drawing and receipts

from one of the four other communities gets one entry.

You can submit copies — even whole batches of receipts on a single page.

On Nov. 1, a grand prizewinner will be chosen. So far, the grand prize includes nearly $6,000 worth of prizes, including $1,000 in cash, $100 to Payson’s Chevron and Rim Liquors, $100 to Payson Wireless, $75 to the Mogollon Moose Bakery, a free night at the Mazatzal Hotel & Casino and many more. Besides the grand prize, there will be several smaller prizes

awarded by the Payson chamber.

Bertone said a marketing company out of Pinetop, Spider Trainers, approached the chamber to do the giveaway.

He said the drawing will showcase the impact of shopping local. Payson recently started working with the Pinetop-Lakeside chamber on other partnerships to cross promote the communities.

Bertone started working at the chamber in September. The private, nonprofit relies almost entirely on membership dues from local business-

es. It costs $300 to join the chamber. Besides working to promote local businesses, the chamber is the place visitors go for information. They see between 900-1,500 visitors a month and the most common question is “What is there to do here?”

Bertone and the staff of volunteers always tell visitors to check out the Tonto Natural Bridge State Park.

For more information on Money on the Mountain, visit the Rim Country Regional Chamber of Commerce at 100 W. Main St., call 928-474-4515 or visit www.rimcountrychamber.com.

Arizona polls favor propositions, but Arpaio faltering Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio trails Democratic challenger Paul Penzone by nearly 15 points and propositions that would legalize marijuana and raise the minimum wage lead in the polls.

The Arizona Republic/ASU’s Morrison Institute/Cronkite News poll shows Clinton, the Democratic nominee, leading Trump 39 to 34 percent among

likely voters, with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.3 percent.

Penzone leads Arpaio in the Maricopa County sheriff’s race 46 to 31 percent, with 5.6 percentage points margin of error.

A hefty 21 percent remain undecided.

Even when the undecided voters were pushed to pick, Penzone led by 49 to 36 percent.

The poll was conducted Oct. 10-15, after the U.S. Justice Department announced it would pursue criminal charges against Arpaio for ignoring a federal judge’s orders to halt immigration-enforcement patrols.

“Sheriff Arpaio isn’t polling well among Latino registered voters, which could be an expected result,” Reilly

said. “What is surprising are Arpaio’s low poll numbers among non-Latino white registered voters in Maricopa County.”

The Arizona Republic/ Morrison/Cronkite News poll also asked registered voters’ opinions on Proposition 205, a measure to legalize the possession and consumption of marijuana by persons who are 21

years or older.

The poll showed 50 percent in favor and 42 percent against, with 8 percent undecided (plus/minus 4). Support for Proposition 205 hasn’t changed much in the past six weeks.

The poll also asked voters about Proposition 206, a measure to raise the minimum wage from $8.05 per hour to $10 per hour in 2017, then gradually to

$12 by 2020. The poll showed 58 percent in favor and 32 percent against, with 10 percent unsure (plus/minus 4.1). Support has dropped 3 points in the past six weeks.

The pollsters talked to 1,179 people by phone in both English and Spanish and completed the interviews 69 percent of the time and targeted only registered voters.

Who’s buying the election?

• Oct. 26, 1881: In a shootout that lasts all of 30 seconds, the Earp brothers face off against the Clanton-McLaury gang in a legendary shootout at the OK Corral in Tombstone, Ariz. The Earps and Doc Holliday were charged with murder, but a Tombstone judge acquitted them.

• Oct. 24, 1931: The six-lane George Washington Bridge over the Hudson River between New York and New Jersey is dedicated.

In 1946 two more lanes were built, and in 1958 six lower-level lanes were added. Today the bridge carries 106 million cars per year.

• Oct. 25, 1983: President Ronald Reagan, citing the threat posed to Americans in Grenada, orders the Marines to invade.

Nearly 1,000 Americans were on the island, many of them students at a medical school. In a week, Grenada’s government was overthrown.

Who’s buying the election?

Who will own the politicians when the smoke clears?

Who will the government work for when the campaign’s over?

We don’t know.

Because the politicians themselves don’t want us to know.

We’re speaking, of course, about the growing influence of dark money on our elections. Ever since the disastrous U.S. Supreme Court Citizens United decision gave corporations and special interest groups the full rights of citizenship, the power of dark money has grown.

The Supreme Court’s ruling essentially invited Congress and state legislatures to at least require special interest groups and corporations to reveal what they spend.

Alas, Congress did nothing.

Tragically, the Arizona Legislature did even less: Lawmakers actually defanged the pathetic remaining campaign finance laws and gave their blessing to bundling. This pernicious “reform” allows lawmakers to gather up money and distribute it to other candidates without ever revealing the source.

Now, maybe you think that dark money is somehow a partisan issue — on whichever side of the great divide your sympathies fall.

But it isn’t.

In past election cycles, Republicans with their links to corporate interests have reaped the great majority of the dark money support. But in the current cycle, Hillary Clinton has benefited from about four times the dark money support as Donald Trump, according to a weekend tally in the New York Times.

Now, Donald Trump has decried fat cats and pay to play contributions — but has lined up for corporate and special interest support when he needed it.

Hillary Clinton has said she’ll appoint Supreme Court Justices who will reverse Citizens United — but she’s also set records when it comes to smoothly lining up dark money support in the current election.

We have lots of examples much closer to home, starting with the grotesque abuses of the Arizona Corporation Commission race.

You may recall, Arizona Public Service two years ago spent millions ensuring the election of two commissioners who have since then voted faithfully to approve every APS request. No doubt, the APS investment will pay off in the spring when the commission must decide on an 8 percent rate increase and new rules that could snuff out solar in Arizona.

Republican Commissioner Bob Burns has waged a lonely crusade for APS to disclose how much it spent — but the other APS-friendly commissioners have refused to support him.

So now Democrats Tom Chabin and Bill Mundell are running, promising to force disclosure.

But wait: In the current election cycle, APS has apparently spent nothing on campaigns, but solar industry groups have reportedly spent some $2 million.

The law allows this secret, unlimited spending, so long as the dark money groups don’t directly coordinate their efforts with the candidates they’re supporting. But that’s a laughable requirement — easily and continually violated. All it does is to allow the candidates to smile innocently and say they have no control over the dark money groups.

But we have no doubt at all that the dark money special interests will find a way to make sure the politicians know exactly how much they owe once they take office.

The Republicans do it.

The Democrats do it.

And they’re doing it to us.

Now, we certainly hope that Burns, Chabin and Mundell will get elected — and force both APS and the solar companies to reveal exactly how much they’re spending to influence the election. We single out Burns, Chabin and Mundell because they’ve all said they favor such disclosure, while the remaining Republican candidates have opposed disclosure.

And we hope that whoever wins the state legislative races will change the state law to mirror California’s requirement of full disclosure by dark money groups. Our incumbent lawmakers House members Bob Thorpe, Brenda Barton and Senator Sylvia Allen all voted for the loosening of the few remaining restrictions and refused to consider a disclosure law. But if they do get past Democrats Nikki Bagley and Alex Martinez, we hope they’ll reconsider. Fostering a special interest takeover of government through corrupting, secret contributions runs counter to the conservative principles the incumbents have so staunchly maintained in so many other areas.

But here’s the truth: We don’t think the politicians will save our government. They’re too much the beneficiaries of the dark money spending, which tends to favor incumbents above all. That makes sense: Incumbents usually win — and the dark money groups have wasted their money if they don’t back a winner who can return the political favors.

That means the voters will have to save our democracy.

We hope that in two years, we’ll have a chance to vote on a ballot measure to force disclosure of dark money spending.

Until then, we really won’t know who owns the politicians — and who controls our government.

Campaign of misinformation Editor: The latest misinformation being posted by opponents of Prop. 205 is that it would make it legal to drive while under the influence of marijuana. The paragraph they use is actually in the proposition to protect our citizens against being charged for having any trace of marijuana in their system. This was previously being used extensively by law enforcement officers in Arizona who claimed there were “traces” of THC in the blood or hair follicles, giving them cause to cite a driver even if the driver was not impaired.

It takes 30 days for these traces to leave the body after partaking.

Driving under the influence of any drug, even drugs prescribed by a doctor is illegal ... including alcohol or marijuana.

Do not allow people who are misrepresenting the proposition that would empty half of our prison population to influence your vote ... please.

Ted Paulk

No on Prop. 205 Editor: Before we decide on the merits of allowing small amounts of marijuana to be legally sold in Arizona, it might be wise to review others’ past history.

Sweden, Norway and Denmark, the Scandinavian countries, for example, have somewhat of a liberal slant in their laws.

In the 1970s, Sweden had sort of a handsoff approach to marijuana use. Drug abuse soared, so the country reversed course.

Today, Sweden and its neighbors have some of the world’s toughest drug laws, including tough marijuana laws.

None of the Scandinavian countries have decriminalized marijuana. Nor do they even permit its medical use. Sweden uses the threat of jail to get substance abusers into treatment, and because crime is mostly caused by substance abuse, they believe, this policy prevents crime.

Voters in Arizona should review what other countries have learned about pot legalization before they step into the voting booth.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Support the Payson Senior Center Editor: My husband and I have had the privilege of living part time in Payson for the last 10 years. Recently this past spring I was able to relocate here full time.

I felt that during my time here I would pursue volunteer opportunities to give back to a community that I care very much about.

I came in contact with the Payson Senior Center through a dear friend and I can’t express enough how amazing their efforts are.

I had no idea that this center was behind

services that reach so many seniors — even outside of their building!

Their program “Meals on Wheels” is responsible for providing nutritious and warm meals daily to 150 homes for seniors who are homebound. In addition, they are serving daily warm meals at the center along with providing informative presentations, shuttle service, and fun activities in a family atmosphere.

But like all nonprofit organizations they need support and more wonderful volunteers. They count on us in the community to help sustain their services.

I am hoping this letter will encourage the wonderful people of Payson to seek out ways they can support this center by donating used items for their Trinkets and Treasures store which supports the center directly, or volunteering their time at the center in any capacity. All you have to do is make a call or stop in!

All of the nonprofits in our town need our support, I am just speaking on behalf of the Payson Senior Center because that directly relates to my experience. It is so rewarding and a valued service, and when we support our nonprofits we are giving back to a town that is so special. The people of Payson make it that way!

Those who profess to be Christians, Should remember which they are When they vote.

Bob Hershberger

It’s time for a change Editor: This election has turned into a boxing match to the point that the candidates have blocked all chances of giving us any plans to address the serious issues we are facing today. So you need to do your own due diligence. Research your candidate!

The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior! Trump is pretty much the same as he was in his 20s. I haven’t found anything Trump has done to make a positive difference for the real issues we are facing today.

It’s important to know who you’re voting for: Hillary’s accomplishments, since the age of 20, speak for themselves.

I can’t help believing that the only thing that’s holding Hillary back is the fact that she is a woman. Change comes very slowly it seems. Look what we allow to be said about our president because he is black!

We know that we, as women, have to try harder, work harder, and do the job just because we believe in it. We all know money talks and women still do not make the same wages as men.

“Successful” women look like a Kardashian. Besides, we actually believe reality stars are real! It’s time to change what we support for our sons.

It’s time to support the changes we want for our daughters. I believe the time is right for change. But, hey, the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.

Why no mention of 3rd party candidates?

Editor: Once again the Roundup has demonstrated why concerned citizens in Payson and indeed all around the country are in record numbers, losing even more faith in the established media.

Your front page article on the senatorial race in Arizona, “Battle for Senate” (Oct. 18) actually had very little to do with candidates John McCain or Ann Kirkpatrick. Instead, you chose to focus the article on Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, rather than on the merits of either of these two actual senatorial candidates.

Most disturbing is that in your massive 45 column-inch article, you failed to give even one word of mention to the fact that there are more than two candidates for Senate in Arizona. Green Party candidate Gary Swing is on the ballot, and Libertarian Merissa Hamilton is an officially-recognized write-in candidate.

Not one single word to the voters of Rim Country, not even a courtesy statement, that these other candidates exist, let alone one word about what they have to offer and how they differ from McCain and Kirkpatrick.

There are always more than two perspectives on every issue facing America, Arizona and Payson. The Roundup’s failure to recognize this principle and to recognize the so-called minor party candidates is shameful.

Rim Country voters can find out more about Green Party candidate Gary Swing here: http://www.azgp.org/ and Libertarian Party write-in candidate Merissa Hamilton here: https://www.azlp.org/ Larry Hoffenberg, Gila County Libertarian Party Editor’s note: Mr. Hoffenberg raises an excellent point — the media — has devoted little space to the third party candidates. That includes the Roundup, although we’ve mostly focused on local candidates — including the Independent campaign of Darrell Stubbs for sheriff.

And it’s true, the two dominant parties have made it hard for other parties to even get on the ballot. That said, the article was focused on the debate and the third-party candidates weren’t invited due to their low polling numbers. The first article about the debate focused on the back and forth about the presidential candidates, which dominated the opening of the debate.

Rancher says county needs change by

Teresa McQuerrey

roundup staff reporter

Woody Cline says he is running for the District 3 Gila County Board of Supervisors seat to bring about change.

The lifelong Gila County resident is a rancher in Young and worked for nearly 20 years with the U.S. Forest Service in fire management. He has served as president of the Young/Pleasant Valley Community Council for two years — which acts as an unofficial town council for the unincorporated area, overseeing its public buildings and facilities. Cline also heads the Gila County Cattle Growers, an office he assumed in February and will hold for two years as well as serving as vice chairman of the Arizona Cattlemen’s Association wildlife committee.

As chairman of the community council, Cline said he has had the opportunity to work with county and state government representatives as well as the Forest Service.

“We need to turn things around,” said Cline. “The direction it’s been going is not right. We need more economic growth.”

He said he’d like to see the county do more to improve the timber, cattle and mining industries. Cline believes helping those industries grow will generate revenue that doesn’t rest on the backs of taxpayers.

Woody Cline, running for District 3 county supervisor, wants to turn things around in county government.

“I have a big interest in youth. I look at them and I worry over their lack of direction,” he said.

Working with the Forest Service, he was involved in both Youth Conservation Corps and the Young Adult Conservation Corps.

“We worked with them (the youth and young adults) and

taught them a work ethic and trades to some extent. We gave them something to do and let them make a few dollars. It really worked around here, for both the youth and the community.”

Cline said the Forest Service eventually hired some of the young people onto fire crews.

Another change he’d like to

see is how the county spends the taxes it collects.

“I see how taxes are spent and I don’t agree with it. I know there are some things we don’t have choice about, but there can be a better use made of the other.”

He said he has seen the county complete a project, only to have to go back and fix it later. “Lots need to be done right the first time.”

Cline also is concerned that so many of the county’s high level staff live outside Gila County. He said he believes if someone works for the county, they should live in the county and spend their salaries elsewhere.

“I have to live in District 3 to run for county supervisor,” he said.

Cline said, “We need to put some common sense back into county government.”

He also wants to see better representation of all the county’s citizens. For instance, he said the county does little to attend to the needs of the White Mountain Apache, which has a portion of reservation lands in District 3. The representation needs to be improved across the county, he said.

With his work in the Forest Service and through the Cattle Growers, Cline said he has worked with a lot of people at different levels. “It will be challenging and fun,” he said.

Jazz All Stars perform Oct. 30 in Payson The next Jazz All Stars program is at 2 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 30 at the Community Presbyterian Church, 800 W. Main St. Performing will be Ioannis Goudelis, Devon Bridgewater, Dave Ihlenfeld, Ted Sistruck and Gerry Reynolds Goudelis performs on the piano, accordion. Born and raised in Greece, music composer Goudelis moved to Los Angeles from Phoenix, via way of Corfu. After studying music at Arizona State University and spending eight years in the Valley performing with Latin, jazz and flamenco artists, he set his sights on Hollywood. There he performed, recorded and opened for artists such as Stevie Wonder, Ray Price, Mike Stern and Stanley Jordan. His original music was featured on TV shows such as “House” and “NCIS” and on HBO. Last year

he appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” His first CD, “Life Goes On,” was released in 2007. His latest CD, “Melodid,” hit digital download stores this year.

Bridgewater performs on the flugelhorn, trumpet and violin. He has been a mainstay on the Phoenix jazz scene since 1989. He studied with Modern Jazz Quartet (MJQ) pianist Charles Lewis and later worked with local legends, Prince Shell, Nadine Jansen and Armand Boatman. He worked with trumpeter Wynton Marsalis when Marsalis was in Phoenix to perform. While at Harvard University, he also studied with Dizzy Gillespie.

Dave Ihlenfeld performs on the tuba.

He played piano for more than 10 years at the weekly Pita Jungle Restaurant Jazz Jam session in Chandler. A graduate with

a bachelor’s degree in music education from DePauw University, and a master’s degree in tuba performance from Indiana University, Ihlenfeld will play tuba as a lead instrument for this performance.

Ted Sistruck is on bass for the Oct. 30 concert. Now one of the busiest bass players in Phoenix, Sistruck studied with Chuck Mahronich at ASU. He also studied with bassists Rufus Reid, Dave Holland and Michael Formanack.

Gerry Reynolds, drums, will accompany the group. As organizer of the jazz concerts presented at the Community Presbyterian Church, the Rim Country resident has a long history of performing with some of the top jazz.

A donation of $5 is requested for the performance.

Council approves final loan for pipeline project The Payson Town Council approved another $11 million loan from the Water Infrastructure Finance Authority of Arizona Thursday.

This is the last loan needed to finish the C.C. Cragin pipeline project.

In all, the town has taken some $50 million in loans from WIFA to complete the pipeline

from the C.C. Cragin Reservoir.

The 3,000 acre-feet of water the town obtains from the reservoir annually will secure a water supply indefinitely for the town, with enough water to support a population build-out of 38,000, planners say.

But how is Payson paying off the 30-year loans? Water users are paying increasingly higher

water rates.

In 2014, the council approved five water rate increases.

Homeowner bills are expected to go from $37.88 a month to $60.78 by 2018 for using 5,000 gallons of water.

LaRon Garrett, town manager, said crews have already laid most of the pipeline in the ground, including from the SRP

generator through Whispering Pines and all connecting lines in town.

Crews are currently installing the line from Whispering Pines to Mesa del Caballo where a water treatment plant will be built.

The treatment plant is the final step before water is delivered in 2018.

Star Valley Mayor Ronnie O. McDaniel, once a rival of John Marcanti for the District 3 Gila County supervisor seat, was all smiles when presenting a plaque honoring the supervisor for his efforts on behalf of Star Valley. Marcanti has helped bring $25,000 to Star Valley to develop a well in the B. Diane McDaniel Park, get bathrooms built there and help fund the Senior Ridership and Meals on Wheels program in the community. Marcanti’s district includes the Star Valley area, plus a small portion of the southeast reaches of Payson, plus much of northeastern Gila County down to the Hayden-Winkelman area.

Alzheimer’s is ...

From Rim Country Health Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia; it causes problems with memory, behavior and thinking.

Worsening over time, the disease eventually is terminal and unfortunately to date there is no cure. More than 5 million people in the United States have the disease. Alzheimer’s is not a normal part of aging.

Alzheimer’s symptoms Each person’s experience with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia is different. Even so, some symptoms are common and usually move through predictable stages, from mild to more severe, over the course of several years.

The symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease include loss of memory, trouble finding words, general disorientation, difficulty making judgments, as well as changes in behavior and personality.

What other diseases have similar symptoms?

Memory loss or confusion can be caused by other problems, too.

Sometimes these same symptoms are caused by an easily treatable issue, such as reaction to a medicine taken for a different health problem, or even a vitamin deficiency. It’s important to get the right diagnosis so treatment can target the right problem.

Who is most at risk?

Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia; it causes problems with memory, behavior and thinking. Worsening over time, the disease eventually is terminal and unfortunately to date there is no cure.

Age is the best-known risk factor for Alzheimer’s. The older you get, the greater your chance of developing Alzheimer’s. Genetics may play a role as well. In rare families, certain genes may cause the disease. For most people who develop the disease later in life, some genes may increase your risk, but do not cause the disease.

Some studies suggest that the rate of Alzheimer’s is higher in certain racial or ethnic groups, such as African Americans, and scientists are explor-

ing possible explanations.

People with specific medical histories are at greater risk of Alzheimer’s, including people with: • Down syndrome and other intellectual and developmental disorders • Repeated concussions (falls, sports injuries, and car accidents are common causes of concussions and TBI) • Traumatic brain injury (TBI and mild TBI) Being at higher risk for Alzheimer’s

disease does not necessarily mean that you will develop the disease. Scientists continue to explore factors that may increase your chances of having Alzheimer’s and, equally important, what may protect people from developing the disease.

Diagnosing Alzheimer’s Getting a clear diagnosis can help you get started on planning ahead for the care and support you might need.

The earlier you detect Alzheimer’s, the

better chance you have of treatments possibly delaying certain symptoms.

Early diagnosis also allows families to better plan for the course of the disease.

When someone tells a doctor about memory problems, the doctor may check their overall health, review medicines they take, and conduct or order tests that check memory, problem solving, counting, and language skills. Sometimes, a brain scan (a CT, MRI, or other tests) might help determine whether memory complaints are caused by another condition, or Alzheimer’s disease.

If a primary care doctor suspects possible Alzheimer’s, he or she may refer you to a specialist who can provide a detailed diagnosis, or you may decide to go to a specialist on your own. You can find specialists through memory clinics and centers, or through local organizations or referral services.

Specialists include: • Geriatricians manage health care in older adults. They know how the body changes as it ages and whether symptoms indicate a serious problem.

• Geriatric psychiatrists specialize in the mental and emotional health of older adults and can assess memory and thinking problems.

• Neurologists specialize in the health of the brain and central nervous system, and can conduct and review brain scans (including CTs and MRIs, as well as other tests).

• Neuropsychologists can conduct tests of memory and thinking.

Memory clinics and centers have teams of specialists who work together to diagnose the problem. Tests often are done at the clinic or center, which can speed up diagnosis.

If you have concerns or would like to be tested for early stage dementia the Banner Alzheimer’s Institute in Phoenix can provide evaluations and monitoring at no cost. Contact Christine Zuber of Rim Country Health at 928-474-1120 for more information.

Alzheimer’s Stages and Changes A person with Alzheimer’s will change over time, and understanding these changes can help you plan ahead.

People with early stage Alzheimer’s can usually take part in care decisions. Experts suggest talking about worries, concerns, and frustrations with family and friends instead of trying to figure everything out on your own; work together to find ways to maintain independence. Take time to make financial, legal, and health care plans at this stage, before the disease progresses.

As the disease progresses, memory loss and changes in behavior and mood become more severe to the point where constant attention is necessary. At the same time, people with Alzheimer’s may still enjoy normal activities.

Late stage Alzheimer’s requires around-the-clock care and may require a move to a residential care facility such as Rim Country Health.

This stage can last anywhere from a few weeks to years.

How does it affect the brain?

In Alzheimer’s, brain cells called neurons gradually stop working, lose connections with other neurons, and eventually die. Abnormal amounts of proteins also form plaques and tangles — major hallmarks of the disease — but we do not yet know why this happens. Over time, the brain shrinks and a person with Alzheimer’s can no longer remember, think, or take part in daily activities without help.

Available information Rim Country Health and Rehabilitation offers classes and detailed information on the disease.

You may contact Christine Zuber our social services director, she has been certified as a trainer by the Banner Alzheimer’s Institute and is available by phone at 928-474-1120 or email christinez@rimcountryhealth.com.

Tips to cope if election 2016 is stressing you out From Rim Country Health and Rehabilitation Facing one of the most adversarial contests in recent history and daily coverage of the presidential election that dominates every form of mass media, 52 percent of American adults report that the 2016 election is a very or somewhat significant source of stress. The survey was conducted online among adults 18+ living in the U.S.

by Harris Poll on behalf of the American Psychological Association.

“We’re seeing that it doesn’t matter whether you’re registered as a Democrat or Republican — U.S. adults say they are experiencing significant stress from the current election. Across party lines, those registered as Democrats (55 percent) and Republicans (59 percent) are statistically equally likely to say the election is a very or somewhat significant source of stress.

Election stress becomes exacerbated by arguments, stories, images and video on social media that can heighten concern and frustration, particularly with thousands of comments that can range from factual to hostile or even inflammatory.

Here are a few suggestions that may help alleviate your level of stress: 1. If the 24-hour news cycle of claims and counterclaims from the candidates is causing you stress, limit your media consumption.

Read just enough to stay informed. Turn off the newsfeed or take a digital break. Take some time for yourself, go for a walk, or spend time with friends and family doing things that you enjoy.

2. Avoid getting into discussions about the election if you think they have the potential to escalate to conflict. Be cognizant of the frequency with which you’re discussing the election with friends, family members or coworkers.

3. Stress and anxiety about what might happen is not productive. Channel your concerns to make a positive difference on issues you care about. Consider volunteering in your community, advocating for an issue you support or joining a local group. Remember that in addition to the presidential election, there are state and local elections taking place in many parts of the country, providing more opportunities for civic involvement.

4. Whatever happens on Nov. 8, life will go on. Our political system and the three branches of government mean that we can be hopeful a significant degree of stability will return after a major transition of government, so avoid prognosticating and maintain a balanced perspective.

5. Vote. In a democracy, a citizen’s voice does matter. By voting, you have taken a proactive step and participated in what for many has been a stressful election cycle. This is the most important step.

Imagine the stress of regret if your candidate lost by just a few votes and you did not participate by casting your ballot.

Senate candidates debate health care by

Peter Aleshire

roundup editor

Junk it.

Fix it.

That summarizes the difference between Senator John McCain and challenger Ann Kirkpatrick, in an expensive race that could determine which party controls the U.S. Senate.

The two candidates clashed sharply on health care reform, specifically the Affordable Care Act. McCain wants to repeal the whole law — a position he shares with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Kirkpatrick agrees the plan has serious problems, but wants to fix those problems rather than eliminate health coverage for millions of Americans and start all over again.

From the start, McCain opposed the health exchanges, which have provided coverage for more than 20 million Americans. The Affordable Care Act required all insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions and allowed students to stay on their parents’ plans. The reforms include a fine for people who don’t get insurance and subsidies based on income for people who seek coverage through the exchange. The reforms also expanded the number of people who could get coverage through the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment system (AHCCCS) and other Medicaid programs.

This year’s partial meltdown of the exchanges has offered support for the critics of the plan. The number of insurance companies offering plans for people through the federal exchange will drop dramatically next year. The one or two plans left in each

county will generally impose a 50 to on a flawed premise — we’d take lion Americans were predicted to be 75 percent increase in premiums.

Like Kirkpatrick, Clinton said Congress and the administration should fix the problems with the system rather than repeal it.

Her husband, former President Bill Clinton, provoked headlines when he called the Affordable Care Act “the craziest system,” mostly because of the cutoff points for the subsidy system that sharply reduces the cost of premiums for people on the exchanges based on income. Clinton said many hardworking people make just a little too much money to qualify for the subsidies, which makes the premiums unaffordable.

The United States spends more than 17 percent of its gross domestic product on health care, the highest percentage in the world. By contrast, France, Germany, Canada, Japan and a host of other countries spend about 11 percent.

The U.S. spends about $9,000 per capita on health care, more than twice as much as most other industrialized countries. Japan spends about $3,700, Canada $4,500, Great Britain about $3,300 and Australia about $4,115, according to a 2013 survey by the Commonwealth Fund.

Almost all other industrialized countries spend less, but provide universal health care.

Although the U.S. spends twice as much as other advanced countries on health care, we get worse results by many measures. Americans go to the doctor less often, have a shorter life expectancy, lower rates of childhood immunization, fewer hospital beds, and higher death rates from many chronic conditions compared to people living in most other industrialized nations.

Help with Medicare Open Enrollment

Metro Creative Services photo

Medicare paperwork can be intimidating, help is here this week at the Payson Senior Center, Oct. 27 and the Isabelle Hunt Memorial Library in Pine, Oct. 28.

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. Representatives will be in the Rim Country this week: at the Payson Senior Center, 514 W. Main, from 10 a.m. to 3:30, Thursday, Oct. 27 and in Pine, at the Isabelle Hunt Memorial Library, from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Friday, Oct. 28.

Another visit is planned at the Payson Senior Center from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 10.

At these visits Medicare beneficiaries

can: • Get one-on-one help from benefit counselors, personalized comparison of costs and coverage of the plans available.

Bilingual counselors will be available.

• Personalized confidential screening and application assistance to help pay for prescription drugs, Part B premium assistance and the “Extra Help” program.

To get the best help with the process bring a complete list of prescriptions and Medicare Care information.

You may also visit www.medicare.gov, call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227); or the TTY line, 1-877-486-2048.

The Pinal-Gila Council for Senior Citizens is part of the Arizona State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP).

SHIP counselors are not insurance agents, they do not sell or recommend or endorse any particular insurance product or company. The SHIP provides free, objective information and assistance.

For more information or to speak to a SHIP counselor in your community contact Pinal-Gila Council for Senior Citizens, 8969 W. McCartney Road, Casa Grande, AZ

Changes in Medicare Arizona’s 1.17 million beneficiaries have access to improved benefits thanks to the Affordable Care Act, including: • Certain preventive benefits — including certain cancer screenings — are available at no cost to beneficiaries when provided by qualified and participating health professionals. The annual wellness visit provides beneficiaries with the opportunity to sit down with their doctor to discuss their health care needs and the best ways to stay healthy.

In 2017, if beneficiaries reach the coverage gap known as the “donut hole” in Medicare’s prescription drug benefit, they’ll save 60 percent on covered brand name drugs and see increased savings on generic drugs.

• 27 percent of people with Medicare Part D get Extra Help (also called the low-income subsidy, or LIS).

• $17 is the lowest monthly premium for a prescription drug plan.

Artists create mural for Elks Roundup staff You don’t have to drive up to the Mogollon Rim to check out the great view anymore.

Local artists recently completed a mural in the entrance of the Elks Lodge, 1206 N. Beeline Highway, that looks so much like the view from the Rim, you just might fall off the edge.

It took Payson Art League artists Donna Davies, assisted

by Nancy Frost, a month to complete the landscape scene, wrapping up the mural Oct. 1.

Rollie Cape approached Davies late in the summer about painting a mural for the Elks after Masoud Yasami, artist and art professor at Gila Community College, suggested Davies for the job. Davies was a student in Yasami’s drawing class.

The 19-by-10-foot mural makes a statement as guests enter the Elks Lodge.

The scene is of the view from the Woods Canyon Lake turnoff. An Elks Club plaque hangs from a tree growing on the ledge in the picture and an elk head is mounted on the wall. by

“The gorgeous sky and clouds that we are all used to seeing in Payson also show off the beauty of God’s creation for all to see,” said Davies.

“The 3-D effect of the mural creates the illusion of depth

overlooking the valley. Be careful when you walk into the entrance and don’t fall off the edge!”

The mural is part of a larger remodeling project of the Elks facility.

Karen Patterson makes the Rim Country’s best beans — at least according to the people who voted in the Third Annual Rim Country Rotary Great American Bean Off at the Payson Golf Course. The event offered guests a burger, coleslaw, beer and the chance to taste six different bean entries. The proceeds for the Oct. 13 contest, estimated to be about $1,000, will benefit the Payson Area Food Drive.

FIRST TUESDAY OF EVERY MONTH Elks Lodge 5PM to 6PM

Artist John “Skipp” Shipp, an Elk member, also refurbished the large elk mounted on the roof of the building.

Cape served as the volunteer project manager on the mural.

Where’s the best place in Rim Country to see stars?

Well, Star Valley, of course.

So the Rim Astronomy Club would like to make star parties a regular feature at the B. Diane McDaniel Community Park in Star Valley by donating a permanently fixed telescope and protective dome to the park.

Peri Cline, a member of the Rim Astronomy Club, made a presentation about a “mini observatory” at the park to the Star Valley Town Council at its Oct. 18 meeting.

The group had a star party at the park in September and even though it was arranged at the last minute, it was still well attended, Cline said.

She said one of the members has a 30-inch telescope the club would like to permanently place in the park, protected by a SkyShed Personal Observatory Dome. Cline said the SkyShed company has a grant program that would cover the cost of the observatory, the labor to install it and get a power source to it.

“We need approval of the council to move forward with the grant,” she told the council.

At the September star party, the group set up its telescopes in the park’s horseshoe pit. Cline said the surface was too soft for the best observations. On a closer inspection of the grounds, she said the club determined that the ground on one of the higher levels of the park would be a better spot. She added with sweat equity from club members the barn at the park could be

turned into a meeting space.

“We could turn Star Valley into an astronomy mecca,” Cline said.

Town manager Tim Grier told the council he had concerns about sacrificing space at the park.

Cline responded that not a lot of space is needed for the proposed observatory.

The council took no action on the matter.

Grier advised that it is something to discuss in December at the council’s strategic plan meeting.

New hours at library The hours of operation at Payson Public Library, 328 N. McLane, will change after Thanksgiving, Thursday, Nov. 24.

It will be open 50 hours each week instead of 49 and opening an hour earlier each day (as morning hours seem to be in demand); closing a bit earlier on Friday and Saturday afternoons (when demand is usually very slow).

Beginning Saturday, Nov. 26, the Payson Public Library’s new hours will be: Mondays: 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Tuesdays: 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Wednesdays: 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Thursdays: 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Fridays: 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Saturdays: 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Closed Sundays and holidays

Last fall, Gila County received a $600,000 grant from the Arizona Nutrition Network for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance and Education Program (SNAP-Ed) of the state health department.

The grant will provide nutrition education and obesity prevention programs and services to the county’s SNAP participants and others eligible to participate in the effort to reduce the risk of chronic disease. The effort will provide both direct services and education, including nutrition classes in schools and joint programs with towns.

To win the grant, the Gila County Health Department settled on strategies to pursue for the next three years based on a 2013-14 community health assessment and community health improvement plan.

On Oct. 18, Gila County awarded a $240,000 contract to implement the plan to the only bidder — Pinnacle Prevention of Chandler.

Pinnacle will provide consultation services to implement collaborative and comprehensive public health approaches and public health marketing supporting Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed), the Healthy People Healthy Communities (HPHC) strategies, and Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) marketing and communications.

The program will include food systems, active living, and school health strategies; to provide nutrition education and physical activity promotion; design and implement public health marketing and communications tools including social media promotion. The group will also work to develop partnerships focusing on low-income individuals and families and children and youth with special health care needs.

Pinnacle Prevention is a nonprofit firm that promotes lifestyle-enriched living, healthy eating and disease prevention.

Payson Vehicle Burglaries spike in 2016

Burglaries spike in Payson From page 1 fied thieves after reviewing video surveillance of the scene.

The large number of unlocked cars in Payson has encouraged the thieves, said Engler.

Thieves have even struck in the town hall parking lot, right in front of the police station.

So Engler urged drivers to always lock up, whether at home or work or just to run into the store.

These small steps will greatly cut down on the number of

break-ins.

The Roundup requested the addresses of every home and vehicle burglary since the start of the year. The tally included 43 vehicle and 35 home breakins.

Of the home burglaries, 17 occurred between 6 a.m. and noon with only six between 3 p.m. and 6 a.m.

Home burglaries occur all over town, especially in the neighborhoods south of Highway 260. Homeowners in the gated communities have not reported a single break-in this

year, the data shows.

Home burglars mostly hit easy targets, looking for homes with unlocked doors and open windows, Engler said.

Police have also seen a number of home burglaries committed by an acquaintance of the homeowner. These people learn when the homeowner will be out of town and take the opportunity to break in.

Engler said be cautious whom you tell that you are going out of town and don’t post your vacation plans to Facebook before you leave.

LEGISLATORS WHO ABANDONED US LEGISLATIVE FACT CHECK #5: According to the voting records of the Arizona Legislature, Sen. Sylvia Allen, Rep. Bob Thorpe, and Rep. Brenda Barton have continually acted against their constituents by: • Never advocating for the needs of 19,000 dependent children in Arizona, nor the protection of abused women, nor the needs of thousands of single parents working in near minimum-wage jobs, nor thousands who need health care • Supporting the use of taxpayers’ funds to bring a law suit aimed at eliminating publicly funded health care for 30,000 poor people who currently have Medicaid-AHCCCS but cannot afford to buy health insurance on their own • Advocating that uninsured people use hospital emergency rooms instead of federally funded health care, thus raising costs of health care for us all.

• Voting for HCR 2023 (the “masses are asses” act) to make it easier for the legislature to overturn citizen initiatives, thus increasing the ability of the legislature to reject the decisions of voters and impose their own will over their constituents

All told, about a third of the water the district pumps out of the ground from its substantially expanded network of wells effectively vanishes before it can run through a customer’s water meter and generate revenue.

When a pipe does break, large sections of the community can’t get water until the district drains that portion of the system and repairs the leak.

The district this year imposed a big rate increase and boosted its property tax by 35 cents per $100 of assessed value to keep up with the costs of maintaining and expanding the system, according to district treasurer Maher Hazine — the owner of the Sidewinder Restaurant who has become the dominant force on the board. Most of the prop-

erty tax increase will go to pay off a 2025 balloon payment of some $4.2 million on the original loan to buy the system. The board opted to use the property taxes to pay off the loan rather than to refinance and devote the money to fixing the system.

The district will spend about $400,000 annually from its operating revenues to chip away at the $6.5 million in additional capital projects identified in the master plan.

The board got an update on the first seven projects on that list, including a project to put filters on the three deep Milk Ranch wells, which suck up too much pump-destroying sand if pushed too hard.

The three Milk Ranch wells go down to nearly 700 feet, compared to the 100- to 200-foot depth of most of the other wells

Payson needs help

The Northern Gila County Genealogical Society has awarded the highest honor possible for a member to receive as a volunteer working on behalf of the Society.

Patty Joseph was presented the award on Thursday, Oct. 6 at the Society’s monthly meeting. She was honored as a result of her consistent efforts in assisting the Society Library in being a first-class asset to the citizens of Gila County and the town of Payson.

Vice-President Hoyt Kenmore read the citation to

From page 1 well capacity as a result of the purchase of several new, deep wells and a network of water-sharing agreements with other well owners.

Wells in Pine produce about 4.5 million gallons a month while the wells in Strawberry produce about 2.8 million gallons. The provision of the extra water from those wells enabled the district to lift a decade-long building moratorium and end summer water rationing and water hauling.

However, the district continues to struggle with the enormous task of upgrading the often-failing system and coping with the financial demands of keeping the whole thing running.

The board this year adopted a master plan detailing nearly $6.5 million in needed upgrades — everything from replacing leaky, undersized pipes to

Volunteers are needed to serve the Payson community as a board, commission or committee member.

The town clerk will keep applications on file for one year. Apply before Oct. 31 for appointments to terms expiring

in the district, according to the monthly maintenance report by CH2M Hill, the consulting firm that runs the district.

Developer Ray Pugel drilled the first Milk Ranch well, which demonstrated the existence of a deep water table, effectively solving the water shortage that had dogged the community for a decade. Pugel later sold the wells to the district and for a time after that sat on the board.

The Milk Ranch wells all hit water more than 500 feet down, giving the wells about 100 feet of well shaft with water seeping into the bore hole. However, at high pump rates, the wells suck up so much sediment they burn out pumps and blow sediment into the system. So the district plans to put filters on the wells to remove the sediment, one of the items in the master plan.

Volunteer honored members, “In recognition of your constant dedication to this organization, and the attitude par excellence you have shown in every task you have ever performed. The executive board awards this document: An Honorary Lifetime Membership with this Society.”

Society President Griff Brown said Joseph had accrued in excess of 308 hours of volunteer duty since the current team leadership assumed control in January and helped increase the overall membership by 16 members.

O B I T U A R Y Dale Glenn Hansen (1951-2016)

Dale Hansen rode away on September 26, 2016. His wife, Shelly waited patiently for his arrival, and although it was way too soon, we know that she was happy see him. We’re not really sure what he rode away on, maybe a horse, maybe a golf cart or four-wheeler, but we know he didn’t dillydally, he’s been waiting to see his beloved Shelly for too long.

Dale left behind a bunch of stuff that his kids, Nick and Bree, have no idea what to do with. Seriously, if you need a flashlight, a pair of sunglasses, a screwdriver or ten, or maybe a pocketknife, hit one of them up! Hey, you might need a users manual for 1972 CB radio.

If you didn’t know Dale, someone you know did, and we’re sure that there is a funny story attached.

Something like, “I remember that one time Dale left a huge fake spider under my chair and when I saw it I screamed like a girl, jumped up running, knocking over my beer and just about peed my pants and he just laughed and laughed.”

Not saying that actually happened, but it might have. Ask his brother Denny about how when they were in the Navy together, Dale started an illegal haircutting service, as the ship’s barber nicked the

sailors and left them with horrible haircuts. However, once the lieutenant found out that someone in the engine room was giving better haircuts, he overlooked the crime and promoted Dale to ship’s barber. Or you might ask his sister Cheri about how she used to have to sleep with her comic books under her pillow so Dale couldn’t steal them. He flirted with ladies while assuring them that he was harmless, he told dirty jokes to the guys, he gave pockets full of change or a 2 dollar bill to your kids and snuck bites of his food to your dogs. You couldn’t stay mad at him for long, he’d just give you that grin, and maybe a pat on the behind and you’d be over it. If you were in a bad mood and wanted to be cheered up, you’d call Dale, he’d probably give you really crappy advice, but he’d make you laugh.

Dale is loved by everyone and will be missed. But don’t be sad for him, he’s playing his guitar in heaven and serenading his wife, who is most likely begging him to stop, while his parents, Dennis and Bette are clapping along.

A gathering in Dale’s honor will be held on November 5th, 2016 at Rumsey Park, ramada 5, at 1pm. In Lieu of cards and flowers, please just bring a dish to share. Thank you.

Can wrap up region title tonight by

Raegen Ashby taps the ball over the net during Payson’s 3-1 win over visiting Winslow on Thursday night.

Delaynee Bowman couldn’t contain the tears.

Sammi Sokol experienced the same emotions as the two Longhorns played their final volleyball game at Wilson Dome on Thursday night.

“Yeah, I cried a little bit when they called my name and I saw my parents,” Bowman said of the pregame senior night ceremony. “But I put the emotions behind me so I could focus on the game.”

Yes, this team has shown great focus this season.

This magical season.

Just two days after winning at Snowflake to wrap up a season sweep of the mighty Lobos, the Longhorns shook off the inevitable emotional letdown to beat visiting Winslow 25-13, 25-15, 17-25, 27-25 to clinch a berth in the Class 3A state tournament and put themselves on the verge of the 3A East Region championship.

At 8-0 in the region entering the final two games this week, Payson needs just one more win to wrap up the region title.

The Longhorns play at Blue Ridge tonight and close the regular season at Holbrook on Thursday.

The top two teams in each region earn automatic berths in the 16-team Class 3A state tournament. The lowest the Longhorns can finish is second.

Of course, they want to close out a perfect 3A East record with two more wins and claim the championship.

It’s possible Blue Ridge could still win the section if the Yellow Jackets beat Payson tonight and beat Snowflake on Thursday and the Longhorns lose at Holbrook on Thursday. Both teams would finish 8-2 in the region and would have split the two games against each other.

And Blue Ridge would be awarded

the title based on a better winning percentage in conference games. The Yellow Jackets would finish 10-4 (.714) in conference games, while Payson would wind up 10-5 (.667).

Payson and Snowflake could wind up tied atop the standings at 8-2 if the Longhorns lose both games this week and Snowflake beats Show Low tonight and Blue Ridge on Thursday.

However, Payson would win the title based on sweeping the two region games with the Lobos.

These Longhorns want to avoid all that complicated tie-breaker stuff and end the drama tonight.

Payson (11-4) stood at No. 7 in the 3A power rankings used to seed the tournament thanks in large part to Tuesday’s win over Snowflake (12-3), which slipped from No. 4 to No. 5 in the power rankings after falling to the Longhorns for the second time.

“It’s been a lot of fun my senior year to play with all these girls,” said Sokol. “We’ve all become so close and we play like a family.”

Convention in Indianapolis. They went through a senior ceremony themselves before the previous home game.

Payson head coach Desirae Burris said it’s difficult watching her seniors play their final home game.

“It’s definitely emotional,” she said.

“These seniors have worked so hard.

They’re such giving people, all four of them. They would do anything for anybody. It makes it that much harder to let them go — they’re such key members of our team.”

She said it’s fulfilling to see her girls accomplish their biggest goal this season.

“It’s huge that we’ve accomplished that goal,” she said of clinching a state tournament berth. “That’s what we’ve been aiming for all season. They’re super excited.

“And I’m just ready to go. We’re very state focused. We’re talking about it in practice. That’s where we want to go and we want to be as competitive as possible.”

Longhorns swat Yellow Jackets 30-7 by

Korben White knelt down and pulled up a few blades of grass as he walked off the Payson High football field following a game for the last time.

Like many of the other 14 Longhorn seniors who played their final home game on Friday night, White found some sort of receptacle for it and put it away.

For most, that container will be with them the rest of their lives. They’ll take it down from the shelf in the closet from time to time over the years and remember their years playing football at Payson.

They’ll remember Friday night.

And they’ll smile.

The 12th-graders played starring roles as Payson closed one chapter in a book they hope contains several more.

Five seniors handled all the scoring as Payson kept its playoff hopes alive with a 30-7 trampling of archrival Lakeside Blue Ridge.

The Longhorns improved to 4-5 with only Friday’s game at Holbrook remaining in their attempt to reach the 16-team Class 3A state tournament.

Payson entered the game holding the No. 16 and final position in the power rankings that determine the playoff seeding.

Payson head coach Jake Swartwood said he’s thrilled his seniors were able to enjoy victory in their final home game.

“It’s huge on your senior night to be able to leave this field a winner,” he said. “I can’t

say enough about these guys, the guys I’ve had four years.

We’ve got 15 of them.

“These kids are great leaders. They’ve shown our underclassmen how to be a team, how to stay together, the correct things to do on and off the field. I couldn’t be prouder of these guys.”

White, a standout offensive lineman and linebacker, has played a key role on the varsity for four years.

“It’s just a real emotional night for me,” White said. “It’s really good to beat Blue Ridge here, but I’m also sad that it’s my last game here. It’s been a great four years.”

After three seasons watching 12th-grade teammates experience an emotional roller coaster on senior night, stand-
