After years of delay and struggle, the Tonto National Forest has accepted a $4.1 million check to hand over title to 253 acres of land on which the Rim Country Educational Alliance will build a 6,000-student university. The Forest Service is transferring the title to the Alliance and the Rim Country Educational Foundation through a quitclaim deed, which means the Alliance and Foundation now own the property without going through escrow. “We are so thankful this day has arrived,” said Richard Johnson, RCEF president. “Despite the many obstacles and delays, we’ve succeeded in achieving this milestone for the project and the community.”

The National Weather Service doesn’t quite know what to make of this El Niño fall. A new low pressure system will probably bring widespread showers to Northern Arizona on Thursday and Friday, with snow in the mountains and a 20-degree dip in the high temperatures — but they’re really not all that sure. So in the meantime, follow the lead of this lucky fisherman in Green Valley Park and enjoy the perfect fall weather.

Just two weeks ago, the Payson Area Food Drive had less than $20 to help three local food banks with donations collected last year all but dried up. On Monday, an all-out effort by local Realtors had boosted the bank account to $4,200. “It is just amazing,” said Realtor Kristin Croak, a member of the Central Arizona Board of Realtors, who is heading up the fall drive. “We have until Oct. 31 so keep those donations coming in.” Local real estate offices participating in the fall drive will collect donations through the end of the month. So far, residents have donated nearly 2,000 pounds of food, with some bills not yet collected. Last year, the real estate drive collected $270 and almost 1,000 pounds of food. Croak thanked the community for the support. The fall drive will help keep the food banks operating until the annual Payson Area Food Drive kicks off later next month. That drive collected around $55,000 and nearly 30,000 pounds of food last year, which the food banks See Realtors, page 2A
Chaz Davis didn’t step on another player’s foot and nobody stepped on his. The quarterback was simply running in the middle of the Payson High football field when he injured his ankle in the second quarter of Friday’s 48-8 win over Page. “I stepped in a pothole,” the senior said from the bench as he sat out the rest of the game. You don’t have to walk around the Longhorn Stadium field long to come across one of the many “potholes,” or patches of missing grass that drop down several inches to bare ground. He’s not the first to suffer an injury on the field. But hopefully he’s the last to do it

State lawmakers could go into special session as early as Wednesday to consider a settlement of a lawsuit that could pump an extra $3.5 billion into K-12 schools in the next decade. Gov. Doug Ducey and legislative leaders have reportedly reached a deal to settle a lawsuit brought by a coalition of school districts. The session comes in response to court rulings that the Arizona Legislature had illegally withheld a voter-approved inflation adjustment for schools during the recession. The new money would come from a combination of extra money from the state land trust and a portion of the state’s growing surplus. Payson Unified School District Superintendent Greg Wyman Monday night briefed the school board on the possible special session and settlement. More than a year ago, the

Deal rumored to settle lawsuit, boost school spending by state courts ruled the state had illegally withheld an inflation adjustment from schools, in defiance of a 2001 voter initiative. Courts ordered the state to increase funding by $331 million this year, but haven’t yet ruled on some $1.3 billion in back funding. Wyman said he’d heard details of the “fairly complex” settlement. “It’s a compromise. As with any compromise, not everyone gets what they want,” said Wyman. He said his sources had confirmed details of the settlement leaked on Monday night by the Arizona Capitol Times, which covers the Legislature. The Capitol Times on Monday reported the deal would increase base-level, per-student funding to about $250 million from the growing state surplus to pay the inflation adjustment and move forward with Gov. Doug Ducey’s plan to take an extra $2.2 billion out of the state land trust over the next 10 years to bolster state funding of schools. The agree-

A California man who robbed a Payson convenience store in January pleaded guilty earlier this month to armed robbery. Daniel Carl Righos, 25, faces a minimum of three years in prison and up to 12.5 years for holding up the One Stop gas station. He made off with an undisclosed amount of cash. Superior Court Judge Gary Scales will sentence Righos Nov. 20 at 1:30 p.m. in Payson. The plea deal Righos’ lawyer Michael Bernays worked out with the Gila County Attorney’s Office stipulates Righos will serve no more than six years in prison. Scales could reject the plea deal. Around 2:40 p.m. on Jan. 19, Righos went into the One Stop at 400 S. Beeline Highway wearing all-black clothing and a mask. Armed with a handgun, he jumped the counter and demanded cash from the register. The owner said he handed over every dollar he had and Righos fled. Later that day, Righos posted to his Facebook page, “that was dumb.” After a 24-hour manhunt, at one point resulting in a school lockdown based on reports Righos might have taken shelter in the neighborhood near the high school, police eventually zeroed in on Righos after he approached a teen asking for a ride. She recognized Righos from a wanted poster at Denny’s and called police. A Gila County Sheriff’s Office deputy and his K9 found Righos hiding between a tree and an empty building next to the El Rancho restaurant. Police arrested him without incident. He is being held in jail on a $250,000 bond, according to court records. Police never located the backpack Righos stashed the cash in or the gun he used, said Police Chief Don Engler.

$20,000 to help the school replace the entire field. “I’m so excited to have that happen because we can’t afford injuries like that,” said Payson head coach Jake Swartwood. “That’s something that we can control and we’re very excited to get that huge donation.” Swartwood initially hoped just for enough money to fix the middle of the field, which is where most of the patches of dirt are located. “The coach came to see us and wanted to do the center of the field,” said Tonto Apache Tribe Chairperson Vivian Burdette. “But we said, ‘No, we want to do the whole field because that way it’s safe for everybody.’” The tribe runs the casino and part of their compact requires them to make donations.
Members of the Tonto Apache Tribal Council join Payson school officials with a check for $20,000 to fix the Longhorns’ playing field. Below, Chaz Davis limps off the field after stepping in one of the many potholes that riddle the playing field.
Several years ago, the tribe made a large donation to replace the track surrounding the football field. Swartwood said he and school officials will make sure the project is done the right way. “We’ll be able to sod the entire field from sideline to sideline with new grass,” he said. “We’ll get a soil sample and see what’s going on with our soil. If it’s bad soil, we’ll be bringing in some new soil.” Swartwood said it will be great for players next year and beyond to play on a beautiful and safe new surface. “It’s pretty exciting,” he said. “You know it puts a lot of pride in the stadium. We want it to look good and we want it to be a highlight of the town.” Swartwood said he expects the sod, and dirt if necessary, to be installed next spring.

ment would add about $50 million per year from the general fund annually through 2020 and $75 million annually from 2021 to 2026. That money would be over and above the inflation adjustments. The Capitol Times reported that the plan would require districts to devote much of the new money to increasing teacher pay. In return, the coalition of school districts that sued the state would drop their effort to recover the $1.3 billion in back payments and agree to changes that would allow the state to suspend the inflation increases during economic downturns. The state could also take back inflation payments should K-12 funding exceed 50 percent of the state’s general fund. Wyman observed that out of all the things that happened Monday concerning education, “This has the most impact. I think there is a settlement here.” Earlier in the day, the U.S. Department of Education announced a plan to limit the amount of standardized testing in schools, which has soared in response to federal mandates. Also, the Arizona Board of Education voted to pull out of the federal standards developed as part of Common Core. The vote will have no immediate impact as most school districts have already implemented the new standards. But the news of the special session domi-
nated the educational discussion on Monday. Years of cuts in education have left Arizona per-student spending about 40 percent below the national average. Even this year, lawmakers increased spending by less than the court-ordered inflation adjustment, despite the growth of the state’s projected surplus and rainy day fund to an estimated $650 million by the start of fiscal 2017. The proposed settlement would include a version of a plan to take $2.2 billion from the state land trust over the next decade proposed by Gov. Doug Ducey. The new version of the plan would take 6.9 percent of the revenue from the $5.2 billion fund each year for the next 10 years — instead of 2.5 percent. Voters would have to approve the change. House and Senate Republican leaders have responded with a similar plan, which would add money from the state’s growing surplus as well as money diverted from a surplus accumulated by First Things First, which provides early childhood education and service. That proposal would provide an estimated $4 billion over 10 years — or about $400 million annually. House and Senate Democrats have also proposed a $4 billion, 10-year plan. However, that plan would rely more heavily on projected present and projected surplus. It would not touch the First Things First money, but would instead cap the tax credits going to businesses that pay tuition at private schools. Current law would allow those tax credits to increase by 20 percent annually
indefinitely. Freezing tax credits at close to the current level would save about $823 million over 10 years, a quarter of the total proposed in the Democrats’ plan. The Republicans have big majorities in both the House and Senate, so the wishes of the Democrats will likely play little role in the outcome — unless a contingent of conservative legislative Republicans balks at the proposals of the Republican leadership. Key conservative lawmakers have resisted the calls for a special session to boost education funding, saying they didn’t want to increase state support for schools without more “accountability” measures — like linking funding to graduation rates or test scores of college attendance rates. If enough Republicans defected from a plan supported by both the governor and legislative leaders, Gov. Ducey might have to seek support from the Democrats. None of the plans discussed publicly so far would restore cuts made in the recession. The U.S. Census Bureau rates Arizona 50th in per-student spending. Arizona spends $7,203 per student, a 13.3 percent decline since 2008 — among the steepest declines in the nation. That compares to a national average of $10,700 per student, according to a U.S. Census Bureau report based on 2013 figures. Arizona would have to increase spending by $3,500 per student to rise to the national average — about 10 times as much as envisioned by any of the plans.

Now it’s a question of “when.” No doubt about it: Hard work remains. But also you need no longer doubt whether we’ll have a university here in Payson. Of course, we’ll feel better when Arizona State University President Michael Crow makes a trip to Payson to announce plans to build a 6,000-student campus here. We’re a little unsettled he hasn’t yet done that. We’re not sure what ASU is waiting for — and have learned the hard way that everything’s always more complicated than it looked with this project. But we hope ASU will now move forward, not that distant and unpredictable bureaucracies can no longer inflict a year-long delay for no particular reason. The backers of the Payson campus offer an enormous prize for ASU: The model for building a state college system, despite the Legislature’s dwindling support for our universities. But no matter: If ASU doesn’t see the benefit — we’re confident that Northern Arizona University, the University of Arizona or a private college will jump at the chance to operate a campus here. Those who have fought so hard and so long have earned the gratitude of the community, whose economic future they have so greatly benefited. The project proved far more complex and difficult than they suspected — and no doubt difficulties remain. Still, they pressed on against all the odds and all the doubts to achieve something that will prove a blessing to this community for years to come. Of course, not everyone wants to see a university built here. Will growth destroy the very qualities of Rim Country we most treasure? Will we lose the small-town feel, the friendly neighbors, the Milky Way at night, the elk bugling in the darkness? We must not — which means we will have to make many more tough choices to protect what we love despite the growth that will come with the university. But we don’t think Payson has the option of staying exactly the same. Growth will come — but what sort of growth shall we encourage? Do we want good jobs, yearround business and a diversified economy not so subject to the booms and busts of the housing and tourist cycle? We think so, and that’s why we have supported the university project through all these travails. It will bring growth — but balanced and healthy growth. Naturally, the project will spur all kinds of debate as we move forward and grapple with the endless details. But still, we have reached a welcome milestone. The Alliance and the Foundation own the land now. They’ll build a university on that land. Everything — at long, long last — has changed. It’s not “if,” it’s “when.”
Baby steps Baby steps. Baby steps. Let us be grateful for baby steps. So it looks like Gov. Doug Ducey will call the Legislature into special session to do something about the state’s disgraceful lack of support for education. Mind you, we’re probably not talking about solving the problem here. The state would have to increase per-student spending by about $3,000 in the K-12 system just to claw our way back up to the national average. Instead, most of the talk has centered on settling a lawsuit and maybe throwing in some pocket change — maybe $300 or $400 per student. Courts have already ordered the state to restore $331 million immediately to compensate for the inflation adjustment illegally withheld this year, in blatant defiance of a voter-approved ballot measure. Still, any of the plans aired in recent months represent real progress after years of reckless indifference to our children that has allowed us to fall to 50th in per-student funding. By all means, let’s divert more of the revenue from the state land trust into our classrooms. By all means, let’s use a big chunk of the projected $650 million state surplus to repair the damage inflicted in recent years. Moreover, the proposed settlement reportedly includes some sensible provisions to keep the automatic inflation adjustment from creating big problems in the next recession. As reported, the settlement sounds like a good faith effort to deal with the inflation adjustment lawsuit and kick in a little extra lunch money. However, if the settlement plan resembles the leaks we’ve seen so far, it won’t really solve the problem — and sidesteps the hard choices. But, hey, we’ll take that. We hope you will urge representatives Bob Thorpe and Brenda Barton as well as Senator Sylvia Allen to support adequate school funding. All say they support our children and education: Time for them to prove it during this special session. Even if it amounts to baby steps: At least they’ll be toddling in the right direction.

Restore university funding Editor: With the newfound revenue coming into the state, Arizona now has $750 million in its rainy day fund. This money was not expected when the legislators adopted the state budget earlier this year. With the new numbers, surely the Legislature can find a way to restore some of the lost funding to our three universities. There was a huge outcry about the enormous cuts lawmakers made to education. The cut just this year was $100 million and one has to assume this will have serious ramifications on the quality of education provided at these universities. Perhaps the Legislature can find a way to replace all or at least some of the funding to assure our institutions of higher education can continue to produce the high rate of graduates from ASU, the U of A, and NAU. We may never find this kind of money again. Barry Adams
Zane Grey’s legacy Editor: Thank you for the very nice article in Tuesday’s Roundup on the Zane Grey Cabin. We do believe it is important to keep the history of Rim Country alive and Zane Grey was an important part of that history. Also, a big part of our mission is to maintain all the buildings on our property so they continue to add to the attraction of Green Valley Park. I believe we are doing that. Thank you again. Sandy Carson, president. Northern Gila County Historical Society
Star Valley celebrates its first 10 years Editor: Star Valley’s 10th anniversary picnic on Saturday drew 200 people, according to town officials. First we want to thank all of our sponsors: APS, Safeway, KMOG, National Bank of Arizona, 260 Café, Diamond Point Shadows, Bill Armstrong, Lone Survivors, Plant Fair, Sawmill Theatres, Scoops and last but not least, Shady Haven Resort. The children had so much fun doing sack races, which were handled by our Mayor Ronnie McDaniel, bobbing for apples which Bob O’Connor and his wife handled, and the fishing which Lois Johnson handled along with a bean bag toss for the very little ones. I think the adults had as much fun watching the children as the children did. Rob Rippy, water operator, had created several boards demonstrating the progress of the town over the past 10 years. Everyone enjoyed looking at these and seeing the major improvements. Hamburgers and hot dogs were cooked by Roy Haught, who did his usual very good job. Chancy Nutt helped Roy with the buns and trimmings. The salads and side dishes were
provided by the wives and as always were very good. Hellsgate Fire Department brought two of their fire engines for the kids to inspect and climb all over. They also brought the helicopter which was a real treat, but no climbing on or in. The town staff and council members worked very hard and did an excellent job. We had a wonderful turnout and Mother Nature was good to us and did not release any rain until the activities were completed. A special thanks to all of our volunteers, including Jane Harris and Anna Rippy, without them it would not have been such a success, and thanks to everyone who came and helped us have a wonderful 10th Anniversary and Picnic. Lois Johnson Star Valley town clerk
Meat industry is scary Editor: I was never scared of all the witches, zombies, and assorted goblins wandering around on Halloween next Saturday night. What really used to scare me was the meat industry. This is the industry that mutilates, cages, and butchers billions of cows, pigs and other feeling animals, that exposes thousands of undocumented workers to crippling workplace injuries at slave wages, that exploits farmers and ranchers by dictating wholesale prices, then jails those who document its abuses through unconstitutional “ag-gag” laws. It’s the industry that generates more water pollution than any other human activity and more greenhouse gases than transportation, then promotes world hunger by feeding nutritious corn and soybeans to animals. It’s the industry that threatens our public health with increased risk of killer diseases, that creates antibiotic-resistant pathogens by feeding antibiotics to animals, then bullies health authorities to remove anti-meat warnings from their public messages. Now, that’s really scary stuff. But, instead of being scared, I decided to fight back by dropping animal products from my menu. I am no longer scared of the meat industry, and I invite everyone to join me. Palmer Riggs

Face distorted in rage Editor: Sunday last the Rim Country Republican Club staged one of our famous sign waving events and a good time was had by all. Signs with such slogans as “God Bless America,” “Support our Troops” and a sign identifying our group were prominent. People waved, smiled and honked their horns in friendly greeting. But a sour note came from some hateful so and so, a young man with his face distorted in rage as he spewed filthy words and obscene gestures at me, the man holding the Republican sign. I ask in all humility because I don’t understand the mindset of the extreme left, “How is your cause advanced by filthy words screamed at a fellow American well into his retirement years?” Chairman Mao once said “Let a thousand modes of thought contend.” I would think an angry leftist would take these words of his hero to heart rather than spread poisonous words into the clear mountain air of Rim Country. Or is this just another example of the left’s contempt for the very idea of free speech practiced by any but themselves? Andy McKinney, president, Rim Country Republican Club

Star Valley puts CAG in hot seat by
Teresa McQuerrey
roundup staff reporter
The Town of Star Valley is questioning the price of doing business with the Central Arizona Governments. Tim Grier, town manager and town attorney, believes CAG charges too much to administer the town’s Community Development Block Grants. The CAG gets 10 percent of the town’s federal CDBG grant. So, for the recent award of $264,835 to buy a well and connect it to the town’s system, CAG gets $26,484. Ken Hall, executive director of the CAG, attended the Oct. 20 meeting of the town council to address its concerns. “It involves more than purchasing a well and hooking it up to the system. There is an enormous amount of reports, inspections and other requirements imposed by both the federal and state government,” Hall said. He then listed some of the work his staff must complete on the town’s project: application preparation; compliance; environmental assessment; advertising for and hiring a project engineer; issuing the contract; meeting labor standards; completing progress reports on the project; making inspections and preparing subsequent reports; making sure the bills are paid; making weekly contact with the state Department of Housing regarding the project; and continued oversight and meeting the project close out requirements. Hall said his office uses a $75-per-hour standard for a CDBG project and estimated Star Valley’s well project would take about 325 hours to complete. “That is on the low end. Usually it takes more than that,” Hall said. The Northern Arizona and Southeastern Arizona government associations would charge around $32,000 for the same work, said Hall. The state director of the CDBG program suggested CAG should charge an 18 percent fee for administration instead of 10 percent, said Hall. “We have to break even. We charge less than others and much less than what the state director says we should charge, ” he told the council and Grier. Grier reminded Hall the CAG charged Star Valley $5,500 for a low to moderate population survey that was a “cut and paste” job with figures from a Pinal County community. The town needed the survey to obtain another CDBG a few years ago. To correct the erroneous information, members of the Star Valley Town Council went door to door during one of the coldest weekends in recent memory. The town’s staff also made an extra effort to get correct information once it was advised of the mistake at the 11th hour — only a couple of weeks before the deadline to submit the survey. “Shouldn’t there be some reimbursement?
That was a breach of contract,” Grier said. That happened before he became executive director of the CAG, said Hall, but agreed actions by the CAG staff member responsible were not acceptable. Grier countered Hall’s statement about the amount of time the CAG staff puts in on a given CDBG project. “Lois’ work (town clerk Lois Johnson) on CDBG projects is extensive, as is that of Robert Rippy (director of the water department) and the engineer (working with the town).” Hall replied, “We collaborate with many towns to keep costs down and a lot of the items take more time than is reported.” He added the CAG could provide Star Valley with a lot more services. In addition to administration services for CDBG grants, the CAG has a department to help member agencies with transportation improvement projects, including the grant application process; another department to help communities with water issues; it is also a federal Economic Development District and can help its members apply for funding for planning grants, technical assistance grants, public works proj-
ect grants and more. The CAG also has an information services department to help with data collection, analysis and modeling on a variety of topics that include population, housing, employment, economic development and land use. Its community planning department helps members with general plan updates. Hall said members can participate on the CAG oversight committees, “There has been no management participation in three years. We have reached out to Star Valley numerous times. It is important for the town to participate and it’s unfortunate it has not.” The CAG serves Gila and Pinal counties, including the two county governments, 17 municipalities and three Native American communities. It was incorporated in 1975 and is one of six regional planning districts, or Councils of Governments (COGs) established to provide effective regional planning services. The agenda items on the matter called for discussion and possible action on continuing to use the CAG to administer CDBG and whether to continue membership in the organization. The town council took no formal action.

Hellsgate fire trucks and a medical helicopter added some flare to Star Valley’s 10th anniversary party, which drew about 200 people.
Star Valley celebrates anniversary More than 200 attended the Town of Star Valley’s 10th Anniversary Party/Picnic on Saturday, Oct. 17. Sponsors for the event included APS, Safeway, KMOG, National Bank of Arizona, 260 Cafe, Diamond Point Shadows, Bill Armstrong, Lone Survivors, Plant Fair, Sawmill Theatres, Scoops and Shady Haven Resort. There were events for children — sack races, handled by Mayor Ronnie McDaniel; bobbing for apples, which Bob O’Connor and his wife handled; and the fishing, plus a beanbag toss for the very little ones, which Lois Johnson handled. Hamburgers and hot dogs were cooked by Roy Haught, and town finance administrator Chancy Nutt helped
with the buns and trimmings. Hellsgate Fire Department brought two of the fire engines for the kids to inspect and climb all over. The department also brought the helicopter, which was a real treat — but it was a look-no-touch visit. Rob Rippy, town water operator, created several boards demonstrating the progress of Star Valley over the past decade. There have been three Star Valley Town Halls in the last 10 years, town manager/attorney Tim Grier pointed out at the Oct. 20 council meeting. He said the town has managed to pave at least 90 percent of its roads, purchased the water company and increased its capacity. He said all of this has been accomplished without imposing a property tax.

Aim for a healthier you at Health and Care Fair
Health providers, others available to help area residents by
Carol Baxter
special for mha foundation
Each new day is an opportunity to take steps to a healthier you. This year, the Community Health and Care Fair is filled to overflowing with health professionals, businesses and civic organizations gathered to bring you information and free and low-cost screenings on Saturday, Nov. 7 in the Julia Randall Elementary School gym. CHCF is a free, family-friendly event that has grown with the community’s feedback over the past 17 years. It’s filled with a greater variety of inspiration, volunteer prospects and learning opportunities than any other public health event in the state. Here is a preview of a few of the health screenings you’ll have access to, rain or shine, that Saturday morning: • Vascular — Dr. Alfonso Munoz • Chiropractic — D.O. Robert Gear • Myofascial release — Rim Country Health • Balance assessment — Payson Care Center • Blood pressure/oxygen saturation — Gila Community College nurses • Bone density testing — Integrated Medical Services • Dental — Anderson Dental Individuals can now order their own lab work without a doctor’s order. Sonora Quest technicians will be on hand to tell you more about their menu of services, such as a lipid panel with fasting blood glucose for $28 (you’ll need to fast for 8 hours prior to this test). It’s a care fair too! You might just find the perfect organization to lend your support to or maybe an organization that can meet a need for you or your family. Time Out, Payson Lions, MHA Foundation volunteers, Forget Me Knots, LDS Employment Resource Services and Hospice Compassus are among the nonprofits participating. The mhaXwell the SimMan® will display neurological and physiological symptoms such as heart attacks, seizures, bleeding, wounds, secretions, and eye response. “He” will arrive in the capable hands of Payson Fire Department staff. The mhaXwell is the
patient simulator MHA Foundation recently purchased as a training tool for the Rim Country’s first responders (did you know there are more than 100 in the Rim Country?) who take turns killing and bringing mhaXwell back to life. Still more
Lance Porter, CEO of Banner Payson Medical Center, will address interested CHCF attendees at 11 a.m. about improvement in care at the hospital, primary physicians, and what is being implemented and what is on the horizon. Meet Willow and her filly Gracie, miniature horses from Dueker Ranch. The ranch offers equine-assisted therapies to special needs children at no cost to families. “These naturally curious, affectionate little horses are non-threatening and ideal for people in wheelchairs to interact with because the horses are below eye-level of the person in the chair,” Dennis Dueker, professional therapy coach and ranch owner said. The courageous rescuers of Tonto Rim Search and Rescue will be onsite with at least one of their gallant horses. All about your children
When a child goes missing, it is important for the families traumatized by it to quickly give identifying information to law enforcement officers. Child ID is a free and confidential kit provided by Payson Masonic Lodge. If you have a senior in your care, the ID service is also available to seniors and disabled persons. Specialists from the Pinal-Gila Healthy Steps program will provide early childhood vision, hearing and development screenings. Parents who have questions about the physical, emotional and intellectual growth and development of children from birth to age 5 will be able to access information and answers. Well informed parents are more likely to perceive changes in their child’s behavior as exciting and interesting rather than overwhelming and confusing. The doors to the Community Health and Care Fair open at 8 a.m. and the JRE gym is located at the end of Main Street across from Green Valley Park. The event ends at noon and is sponsored by MHA Foundation, Banner Payson Medical Center, KMOG, Payson Care Center, Rim Country Health, Hospice Compassus, and Eastern Arizona Health Education Center.

Equine-assisted healing
Dueker Ranch uses special horses for special children
Dueker Ranch in Star Valley aims to give special needs children a healing experience unlike any they might find in physical or occupational therapy. Children begin equine-assisted activities by riding on calm, pony-sized draft horses with a leader and a volunteer holding them on each side. The gait and side-to-side motion of the horse is similar to the human walking gait. Over time, this allows a child with cerebral palsy for example, to experience gentle core toning in an organic, fun way. It is cowboys or cowgirls playing outdoors as an adjunct to doctors or therapist in a room, plus the treatment is
more than purely physical. It can give an autistic child a path to becoming more social. The “in depth following of directions” has helped Lucy Karrys’ daughter Jacquelin, achieve gold medals in Special Olympic events. “I see more confidence and assertiveness in her,” Lucy added. The ranch is certified by the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship and is currently seeking volunteers in order to be able to serve more children. Training dates will be posted on the Dueker Photo courtesy of Dueker Ranch Ranch Facebook page https:// www.facebook.com/Dueker- Sanja Long, chief executive officer of the MHA Foundation, visRanch-Horse-Therapy-a-501c3- its with one of the tiny therapy horses the Dueker Ranch of Star organization-132495683750529/ Valley makes available to work with special needs children.

Apple cider vinegar – is it all my hippie friend says it is?
I’ve got this friend from the enchanted woods of British Columbia, Inanna. Not sure that’s her real name as she said her name is the same as the Sumerian goddess of love, war and fertility. Only a hippie who’s changed their name would figure that out. And Inanna is a hippie. She describes herself as “an intuitive culinary goddess, who empowers women to heal through self-care and deep awareness.” Oh, and she’s The an aspiring cat Healthy lady. On top of that, she swears by apple cider by Michele Nelson vinegar. She swilled a dose three times a day, mixed with organic raw maple syrup and lots of water. “It’s a detox, allergy cure, digestive aid, bad body odor eliminator, and all around healing tonic,” she told me in an effort to convince me to join her daily ritual as she swirled her multi-patterned maxi-dress, her long hair festooned with flowers. I told her I prefer apple cider, you know, the kind with 5 percent alcohol. But Inanna and the National Institutes of Health agree — apple cider vinegar has many health benefits. The NIH says studies show the tart substance reduces the glucose response to carbohydrates and can make a person feel more full, thereby helping them lose weight. NIH also said vinegar has been used for thousands of years by healers. That’s the kind of info hippies really dig. However, NIH said studies on vinegar’s ability to reduce blood pressure and prevent cancer have produced mixed results. Inanna swears that apple cider vinegar has even more benefits than the paltry few the NIH claims. “But you know I use it on my hair and skin, too,” she told me. Inanna swears that after cleansing her hair with baking soda, she rinses it with an apple cider rinse. I have to admit, it’s awfully shiny, full-bodied
vinegar restores the animal’s skin’s “acid mantle” that fights off microbes and pests. An added bonus, vinegar isn’t toxic to pets like so many of the shampoos available in stores. As for the digestive benefits, Inanna told me that none other than the Journal of Food Science reported that apple cider vinegar can help with acid reflux, heart burn, nail fungus, yeast infections, cancer and lowering cholesterol. Sometimes, just when I’m ready to dismiss her because of her hippieness, she makes me stop and think. Guess that’s why we’re friends. So, with all that information swimming around my head, I agreed to try her sweet-sour concoction. Eh, it’s not so bad, but it would take a lot to get used to it. “Try it for a week and get back to me,” she assured me, pressing a bottle of Bragg’s Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar into my hands. I promised to try it, but I assured her I’m not going to wear flowers in my hair or some multi-colored hippie skirt. “We’ll just see about that,” she said as she twirled off.

Exploring depression
Women experience it more than men Nearly everyone has dealt with a life-changing event that brings about feelings of sadness. But some people struggle to enjoy normally happy situations. When these feelings do not go away on their own, they may indicate the presence of depression. Major depression is one of the world’s most common mental disorders. The World Health Organization offers that major depression also carries the heaviest burden of disability among mental and behavioral disorders. People often do not realize they’re suffering from a depressive episode, and as a result, many never seek or receive the care they need. According to “The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,” major depression is characterized by depressed mood, loss of interest or pleasure and at least four other symptoms. These may include problems with self-image, sleep, energy, ability to function, and changes in appetite. The National Institute of Mental Health says that, as of 2013, an estimated 15.7 million adults aged 18 or older in the United States had at least one major depressive episode in the past year. Depression is far-reaching and more common than one may imagine. Oftentimes, however, people delay seeking treatment because of embarrassment or the stigma that surrounds a mental illness diagnosis. The NIMH indicates that women are 70 percent more likely than men to experience depression during the course of their lifetimes, largely due to hormones. Elevated rates of depression among women also may be due to the fact that they tend to be more vocal and proactive in seeking help. According to Gail Lovallo, LCSW, owner of Peaceful Living Counseling Services, LLC, depression can be linked to any number of factors. Depression may result from a particularly traumatic episode in one’s life and often accompanies post-traumatic stress disorder. Individuals can become depressed when diagnosed with a disease. Women may experience postpartum depression after childbirth. A considerable percentage of people experience depression when seasons change, and that could be caused by the reduction of exposure to natural sunlight when fall gives way to winter. Seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, is often more common the farther north one lives. Depression can affect one’s home and work life. In the journal Depression and Anxiety, a study analyzed depression statistics from the Canadian National Population Health Survey and found that major depression doubled a person’s chance of becoming divorced or separated. Others may face job loss thanks to lack of productivity or missed days. While depression is common, it also is highly treatable. Various therapies exist to mitigate symptoms and restore people to more well-rounded lifestyles. Counseling and medication are two of the more common treatments for depression. According to Psych Central, the Internet’s largest and oldest independent mental health social network, 60 to 70 percent of depressed patients who are given an antidepressant recover from their depression in three to six weeks, provided that the medication dosage is correct and the patient continues to take the medicine as directed. Depression can be a devastating illness that seemingly comes out of the blue. However, it’s important for people to realize that depression is common and treatment methods are quite effective. Consult with a primary care doctor or a mental health professional if you

Payson Roundup LOCAL Tuesday, October 27, 2015
Drunk woman battled police by
Alexis Bechman
roundup staff reporter
A Payson woman who kicked two officers while resisting arrest while drunk will spend six months in prison and a year on probation, under the terms of her sentencing on Monday. Through tears, Theresa Ann Gerardo, 50, told a packed Payson courtroom that she was sorry for putting her family through this ordeal and had written both officers saying she was sorry for her misdeeds. Gerardo said she is not a “cop beater” and didn’t even know what she had done until she sobered up. On Oct. 11, 2014, Gerardo was playing pool with friends at a local establishment when the bartender reportedly cut her off from any more alcohol and asked her to leave, according to a presentencing report. She refused to leave and staff called the police. When Payson Police officers Jacob Lee and Nick Bogatko
arrived, they found Gerardo yelling in the parking lot. When she spotted them, she said “Oh, good, I love cops. Bring it on, boys,” according to the report. Bogatko grabbed Gerardo’s hands in a control hold, but she kicked him twice. When he took her to the ground, she grabbed his duty belt and shirt. When she was finally under control, Lee put her in a patrol vehicle, where she kicked him twice. She then slipped out of a handcuff and continued to resist until the officers cuffed her again. Gerardo later told a probation officer she had been drinking whiskey for eight hours, rendering herself drunk and incoherent. When she sobered up and learned what she had done, she apologized to the officers. Gerardo is the mother of six. One of her children spoke in court on Monday saying he is sick. The child pleaded with the judge to not send his mother to prison. Several family members and friends spoke on Gerardo’s behalf Monday. Her boyfriend said
Gerardo has made huge strides since this incident and cut back on her drinking. He said Gerardo is getting help from Southwest Behavioral where a new counselor has helped her. Gerardo’s lawyer, Alane Ortega, said Gerardo desperately needed treatment when the incident occurred, but is now doing better with the help of Community Bridges and her family and friends. Ortega said Gerardo never meant to hurt the officers and asked Superior Court Judge Tim Wright for a reduced sentence. Charlene Brown, Gerardo’s friend and a former police officer, said while she does not condone Gerardo’s behavior that night, Gerardo had made a huge mistake and had turned her life around since then. She asked Wright for leniency. Wright sentenced Gerardo to six months in prison and one year of probation with credit for 48 days served. This is Gerardo’s second felony conviction, the first was for aggravated DUI.
University site sale completed From page 1A “It’s been a long road, but we appreciate the support of the local Tonto Forest officials,” said Payson Mayor Kenny Evans. Evans said the Alliance and Foundation have also agreed on a project program manager and architect. The land purchase now gives the Alliance and Foundation much greater control over the timetable of the project, with classes expected to start in the fall of 2018. The group has not yet finalized an agreement with a university partner. Reportedly, Arizona State University and the Alliance have agreed on almost all the key elements of the project. However, the land sale delay and the shift in project management, financing and possible contractor to build the dorms caused delays in striking a final deal, say backers. The land sale would appear to remove remaining obstacles to an agreement. The current plan envisions ASU operating the main campus, but having other possible university partners operate compatible components as part of a “multiversity.” Backers have reportedly had discussions with the University of Arizona about specialized programs in mining and telemedicine. “Finalizing our development plan and reaching an agreement with university partners are the key phases now,” commented Jim Lyon, RCEA Chairman. “We anticipate discussions with multiple campus partners and are looking at building a 21st century multiversity in the pines of Payson.” The current plan calls for the Forest Service to sell a small additional parcel near the current Payson Ranger Station to the project, but keep a portion of the remaining land for a new Payson Ranger Station. The Forest Service would spend the $4.1 million from the sale on a new headquarters and new facilities for firefighters and their equipment. That might include an improved

We appreciate their partnership in making this dream come true for Rim Country,” said Evans. Nonetheless, the sale took roughly two years longer than many backers had hoped. Donors had to come up with nearly $500,000 for an environmental study, which delayed the project for more than half a year. A required independent appraisal took nearly a year. Assorted added delays have stalled the project for the past 10 months. That included the time needed to finish archaeological studies that cost another $500,000. Finally, backers endured a last-minute, two-day delay as they waited for the Forest Service to decide to whom the Foundation should make out the check. The MHA Foundation provided the money to the Education Foundation for the purchase and will also put up an estimated $1 million to pay for various predevelopment costs — like hiring the project manager and drawing up detailed engineer-
ing plans for infrastructure — including streets, sewers, water and electrical. MHA Foundation established the Rim Country Educational Foundation to funnel the money through. The bulk of the money the MHA Foundation invested came from its $40 million merger with Banner Health Systems, which now operates the Payson medical center. The campus will include not only the core academic buildings, but dorms, an arts and entertainment center, a hotel and conference center, a business incubator and research labs, according to a release issued Monday by Alliance marking director Laura Ann Bartlett-Armstrong. Foundation Chairman and MHA board member Richard Johnson said, “In addition to providing opportunities for a university education for local students, the campus and its development will provide jobs and career opportunities for Payson residents,” concluded Johnson. The campus could pump $100$150 million annually into the economy, according to studies of university campuses elsewhere.

Marching band struggles to blend by
Michele Nelson
roundup staff reporter
Michele Nelson/Roundup
At its second competition of the marching band season, the Pride of Payson marching band did not place, but that doesn’t bother band director Jose Martinez. “The band had a big sound,” he said. “They were really excited about doing the show that a few students played out more than usual.” Playing out makes the band lose its balance so that the judges only hear a couple of the musicians, not the blended sound of the whole band.
Martinez said for the next week before its next competition at Mountain View High School, the band will focus on keeping a controlled sound throughout the show. “We’ll be … listening back to others for balance and being consistent from rep to rep on those key points.” Overall, though, Martinez said he is proud of his band. “A lot of what we added to the routine came out,” he said. “The energy was really high and so was the excitement. We just need to control it so it doesn’t get away from us.”

Tonto Basin will once again celebrate Halloween with a costume party for the community. The event takes place Friday night. trick-or-treaters of all ages? Answer: From candy to costumes, Halloween is a magical time for children and adults to enjoy, but it’s also a holiday that can present health and safety risks. Whether you have an older child trick-or-treating alone for the first time or you’re hesitant about that fake sword, here are some tips to ensure that your child’s Halloween is a safe and healthy one. Help your little one plan their costume and
assist them with finding something that’s easy and safe to move in. For greater visibility, add reflective tape to costumes and trick-or-treat bags. Supply trick-or-treaters and escorts with flashlights or glow sticks to help light the way on dark walks. At the end of the night, help your child store his or her candy somewhere other than their room so that you can help ration treats over the days following Halloween.

Mystery wrapped in an enigma by
Pete Aleshire
roundup editor
With trowels and toothbrushes and infinite patience, the sunburned crew of archaeologists uncovered the top layer of a mystery. “It’s one of the weirdest features we’ve ever found,� said Rich Lang, associate director of Arizona State Museum, speaking to a meeting of the Rim Country Archaeological Society. They had worked for weeks on an enigmatic settlement abandoned abruptly some 700 years ago close to Homolovi State Park, near Winslow. Well away from the Little Colorado River where the big settlements were located, the archaeologists discovered a small pueblo once surrounded by a massive wall — perhaps two stories high. Inside the stone tumble of a roughly 25-room settlement, they’d noted several circular depressions. Who built the kiva?
They speculated the depressions marked the location of large kivas, round, ceremonial structures set into the ground and lined with stones. The appearance of kivas could help them understand what happened at this cultural crossroads. Here, kiva-building northerners collided with platform-mound making southerners. Each left traces, which have perplexed archaeologists for decades. But that wasn’t the most mysterious feature of this baffling settlement, sunk into the sands of the Painted Desert. Lang has spent decades unearthing the remains of a complex, exquisitely adapted network of civilizations that persisted here for thousands of years, before the whole network collapsed in the 1300s and 1400s, for reasons still fiercely debated. Lang laid out the intricate connections and influences for an hour before his rapt audience of about 60 people on a Saturday morning at The Center on Main Street in Payson. Who destroyed the walls?
The site in what’s now bleak desert would have been odd enough if all they’d found was the double-wide wall that enclosed it. The wall required so much rock that the archaeologists initially thought the settlement had 50 rooms and a population of maybe 100 or 200. But the excavations revealed most of the stone went to create the wall that enclosed the settlement, prompting the archaeologists to downsize their estimate to 25 rooms. Perhaps even more curious, they concluded that someone had pushed over these massive walls all at once, sending them crashing down on the stone homes inside the perimeter. “We realized these massive, double-wide courses (of stone) weren’t rooms at all, just walls someone had pushed over. So we had these walls surrounding the pueblo — a massive compound wall with an entry in the south wall.� The site got only stranger from that point forward. One of the depressions contained no signs of a kiva. Lange would have dismissed it, except bits of charcoal in the depression yielded exactly the same radio-carbon dates as the rest of the pueblo. Perhaps they used the pit to make plaster from the naturally occurring caliche. Perhaps

they hit a spring and made a pond of it. But the “weirdest� feature awaited in the middle of another depression. Initially, the archaeologists thought they had found just a normal Great Kiva. No small find, since it shows that the religious patterns of the Ancestral Puebloeans — formerly referred to as the Anasazi — had taken root here. The Ancestral Puebloeans built the great ruins at Chaco Canyon in Mexico and Mesa Verde in Colorado. But most of the other ruins down along the Little Colorado River seemed more influenced by the Hohokam — who built the largest cities in the Southwest in the Valley. So the kiva here suggested either cultural mixing — or the ebb and flow of different civilizations across the same ground. Inside the kiva, another more poignant and unsettling mystery awaited. Weirdest thing of all
They found a file of rocks at one end of the structure, which they thought might have protected the kiva from erosion. But when they dug through the pile of rocks, they got a surprise. “In the middle of the rock scatter we found a neat thing about a meter across. The weird structure turned out to be rocks shaped into a circle, with big rocks mortared into the middle of this thing.� So they begin removing the rocks, documenting each step with growing excitement. What would they find at the bottom? “Down six or eight courses (or stone), it was still full of rocks. I got a little scared thinking what we might find under it,� Lang said. “The hole went down another meter to bedrock — about as far as you could reach with your hand — and nothing in it.� The structure baffled him. At one point, he half expected to find a “blowhole� — where changes in air pressure cause air to rush out of a hidden, underground network of limestone caverns. Such a blowhole breathes in and out with the seasons alongside the ruins of Wupatki near Flagstaff. But for some reason “inside this structure they’d built a rock cairn, totally mortared and cemented together — with nothing in it. Then they just walked away,� said Lange, bemused. Some science fiction writer could do wonders with the mystery: Did they seal a demon inside? Did they prayerfully close a crack in the world, to hold back the flood that had already drowned First and the Second worlds — as recounted in Hopi mythology?

Archaeologist Rich Lang recently offered an overview of research into the extensive ruins preserved in Homolovi State Park (above, courtesy of state park service). The ruins line the Little Colorado River near Winslow and offer clues to both a clash of civilizations and the impact of droughts and flooding that ultimately led to the abandonment of the region in the 1400s. Why did they build it?
The ruins protected by Homolovi State Park have yielded at least as many questions as answers. The main digs along the banks of the Colorado River have yielded far larger settlements, one with as many as 1,200 rooms. The tedious effort to date all the settlements suggests they grew and contracted with the climate, since they depended on the flood-prone Little Colorado River. People flocked to the area in the good times, when the river flowed steadily — depositing silt on the floodplain. They moved away when drought dried the stream to a trickle — or when the floods came too often. They lived always on the edge, equally devastated by too much rain and too little. Sometime in that sequence, people moved into the highlands, to build their strange, walled compounds, with their kivas and their carefully mortared entrance to

the underworld. But they fled or migrated or simply dwindled. Did they push over their own walls to bury a sacred site? Did their neighbors drive them out and obliterate all trace of their presence? Did one religion yield to another — in strife and violence? The study of the ancient rise and fall of civilizations could hold lessons for us all, with average temperatures creeping up and droughts growing longer and deeper. “Something happened in the 1380s that might have been the death knell. They were so reliant on the flood plain: Some major El NiĂąo type flood events maybe just tore out everything they were doing and quickly made the flood plain unusable. So perhaps they retreated very quickly back to Hopiland. Perhaps they intended to stay longer, building these big settlements, but at some point it just became impossible.â€?

Longhorns trample Sand Devils 48-8 Win all but wraps up playoff berth by
Keith Morris
roundup sports editor
One of Payson’s biggest problems during Friday night’s 48-8 football blowout of visiting Page was trying to figure out where to find legal jerseys for a couple of non-running backs to play in the offensive backfield. After a penalty for allowing Barlow Johnson to line up in the backfield wearing his normal No. 60 jersey, the staff had him change into quarterback Chaz Davis’ No. 18. And senior Donovan Cross somehow slid into Wyatt Chapman’s No. 12 before bulling his way to six yards on three blasts up the middle. “It was good having success,” said Cross, normally a leader on both the offensive and defensive lines. “It kind of sucks knowing it’s possibly our last game at our own home field. There’ve been a lot of memories here; a lot of good times.” Yes, it was a great night to be a Longhorn as Payson put two disappointing weeks behind it to rout the Sand Devils in the final home game of the season. Davis enjoyed a big night in his final career home game as the senior ran for 88 yards and a pair of touchdowns and threw

for another. He was one of the seniors recognized on the field before the opening kickoff on senior night. Another was Ruben Estrada, who also enjoyed a fine game. He led the Longhorns with 96 yards on nine carries, including a 30-yard touchdown. Fourth-year head coach Jake Swartwood said it was an emotional night for the seniors, their families, and him. “The seniors mean a lot to me,” he said. “A lot of guys have been with us since we started the program. And it’s been fun to watch them grow and watch them mature and grow into young men and really lead this team. “So, walking them out on this field for the last time, it’s very emotional. They’ve played great. They left it all out there like we

The senior enjoyed a big night running the ball. asked them to and I couldn’t be prouder of them.” Senior Tito Vega said it was difficult for some of his classmates to hide their feelings on a night that began with them walking onto the field with their families. “Seeing some of the other guys get emotional, I kind of got a lump in my throat,” he said.
Estrada appeared close to 100 percent healthy after leaving Payson’s win at Lakeside Blue Ridge early with an ankle/ Achilles injury and sitting out in a loss to Winslow and lining up in the backfield for only a few plays in a loss at Snowflake. He led a Payson rushing attack that netted 298 yards on 34 carries with 96 yards and a touchdown
on nine carries. “I’m happy with everything they did tonight,” Swartwood said. “We just executed our plays and got good down blocks. And our runners ran hard. Ruben Estrada ran like a man tonight. He just looked phenomenal. You can tell the difference between full-speed Ruben and half-speed Ruben when he’s not feeling

good. Tonight you can tell he’s feeling good. He’s running the ball well again and he’s ready to go on all cylinders. So that’s very exciting for us.” Estrada didn’t touch the ball offensively in the second half of this one, either. But that was because the home team built a commanding 42-0 halftime lead,

Freshman Gage Ryden (1) turned in a strong game against St. Michael.
Eight seniors found themselves in the spotlight as Payson’s boys soccer team wrapped up the season with a 5-0 win over St. Michael on Oct. 19 at Rumsey Park. As is the case in all sports, 12th-graders are recognized in some sort of ceremony before or during their final home game. And the Longhorns honored Carl Adcock, Nathan Cluff, Tanner Dendy, Gabe Hernandez, Gerardo Moceri, Tyler Porter, Silas Galster and Saul Solis. “They’re incredible kids,” said Payson coach Chris Avakian. “They’ve been through the ups and the downs. They’ve been to the final four twice.” Payson dominated St. Michael in a 5-0 triumph. Dendy and Moceri both scored two goals. Cluff added one goal as the Longhorns enjoyed their largest margin of victory of the season. The score could have been worse. “You don’t want to lose the last game of the season and the last game for a lot of seniors,” Avakian said. “But I feel sorry for a team like that that’s so overmatched. I don’t want to put a trillion goals on them. So I put the JV guys in.” Yes, the coach substituted often. He took out all but Adcock with 3:37 remaining so

Gerardo Moceri scored two goals against St. Michael. The senior spent three years as a captain. the crowd could recognize them with applause. Adcock came out 19 seconds later. Payson finished the season 4-7 in power points games and 6-9 overall. Payson easily played the toughest schedule of any team according to the power rankings. Payson finished at No. 13 in the power rankings, one spot from qualifying for the 12-team state tournament field. At No. 12, Camp Verde grabbed the final berth in the tournament, which begins Thursday. The Longhorns beat Camp Verde 1-0 in the only meeting between the teams this season.
Among the highlights this season was a 1-0 triumph over Flagstaff Northland Prep on Oct. 1. The Spartans were No. 1 in the power rankings at the time and wound up No. 7. Hernandez started on the varsity for four years. Moceri, a three-year captain, also played on the varsity for four years. “It’s just been a great four years,” Moceri said. “I’m not too emotional, but I don’t think it’s really kicked in yet. This is my last year and I don’t know if I’ve got another year of this left in me because me and Gabe have given it everything these last four years.”
Moceri said it was nice to play in a comfortable win for a change. “Every game’s been a onegoal game except for a couple,” he said. “So it’s just been intense. So this was nice to get a little break in, get some goals.” Avakian said he remembers Moceri’s role in a win over mighty Chino Valley in his freshman season. “I always remember the first time when he played against Chino Valley and the (Chino Valley) guy annihilated him, almost knocked him out,” the

The Longhorn defense shut down Page’s offense.
Your Miracle-Ear Team of Payson
Payson routs Page From page 1B which started a running clock. The Longhorns needed Estrada healthy with senior running back-linebackers Wyatt Chapman and Taran Sarnowski missing another game because of injury. Another linebacker, junior Korben White, who’s also the starting center, missed his second consecutive game with a knee injury. Senior Brigham Flake has missed most of the season with a knee injury. The Sand Devils (1-8) stopped the running clock on a touchdown with 8:35 remaining in the game. Page had no answer for Payson’s offense as the Longhorns scored on their first six possessions. Davis connected with Alex Suarez for an 8-yard TD pass in the second quarter and DiAndre Terry scored on a 2-yard run before Cameron Moore returned an interception 47 yards to pay dirt to close the first-half scoring. Atreyu Glasscock added a second defensive TD to close the Payson scoring on a 30-yard fumble return in the third quarter. Davis left the game after rolling his ankle in the second quarter. Angel Jacquez took over on the sixth play of the nine-play scoring drive that made it 35-0 with 3:52 left in the half. Davis’ younger brother, freshman Brock Davis, played the rest of the game at quarterback. Kenny Ayres was 6-for-7 kicking extra points. He missed two field goal attempts in the second half. Payson amassed 361 yards of total offense, running 34 times for 298 yards. Davis was 3-for-3 passing for 63 yards. The Longhorns didn’t turn the ball over. Page committed four turnovers. The Sand Devils fumbled six times, losing two of them, and threw a pair of interceptions. Moore had one and Jacquez the other. Penalties also weren’t a problem for Payson, which had been plagued by them for the first seven games. But they drew a season-low three flags last week and had seven for 50 yards this week. The Longhorns, who entered the game at No. 13 in the Division 4 power rankings, close the regular season at unbeaten Show Low on Friday. The Cougars

clinched the Section 1 championship with a win over Snowflake last week. Payson is 6-3 overall and 2-2 in Section 1. This week’s rankings were scheduled to be released this morning. The Longhorns are expected to make the playoffs even if they don’t beat Show Low. At halftime, the Tonto Apache Tribe presented school officials with a $20,000 check to fix the football field (see story), which is in poor condition and needs new sod and possibly new soil. Davis’ injury was the result of stepping in a “pothole” in the middle of the field.
Boys soccer team just misses state tourney From page 1B coach recalled. “He was bleeding out of his mouth, bleeding out of his nose. We got a free kick because of that and we scored on it. And that’s how we beat them the one time we beat them.” Hernandez, a defenseman, actually started more games than Moceri as a freshman. He only got to play briefly in the finale because he tore the meniscus in his right knee during the Northland Prep triumph. He tried to return for the St. Johns game but aggravated the injury. “He’s a workhorse,” Avakian
said of Hernandez, who was also a captain. “He was the heart and soul of the defense. When he was out there, you can look back and see they were scoring one or two goals. We only got blown out in two games.” Hernandez said he took pride in trying to lead this season on a team with a lot of youngsters. “Our seniors, we’re the ones that keep the team going,” Hernandez said. “And we’ve won some tough games people didn’t think we were going to win. We work together. We lose and win together.”
