Tips for fall color treks BY

ROUNDUP OUTDOOR COLUMNIST

The fall months with the last days of Indian summer offer the hiker and other outdoor enthusiasts perfect weather conditions to view the changing colors of the leaves before the winter snows arrive. In the northern tier of states, the fall foliage has already reached its peak with the rainbow of colors in the numerous species of deciduous trees. Obviously, Arizona far to the south, is a bit later with the peak colors happening the last week of October at the 5,000to 6,000-foot level just under the Mogollon Rim.

Arizona has extreme elevation changes where the climate can vary from the alpine forest to the arid desert valley. This can dictate when the color peaks. Payson sits at 5,000 feet elevation in the foothills of the Mogollon Rim which can rise to 7,500. The area has a number of small canyons that harbor ash, maple, oak, aspen, sycamore and cottonwoods, creating brilliant color displays at this time of year. In the northern region of the Tonto National Forest, the heavy ponderosa pine growth covers most of the hillsides and steeper canyons, but at the canyon floors where there may be year-round See Final flare, page 9A

Secretary of state candidate Terry Goddard swept through Payson Thursday pursuing his full-throated crusade to force disclosure of the sources of “dark money” that increasingly dominates political campaigns. “Arizona’s the Cayman Islands of dark money,” said the former Arizona attorney general, now locked in a dead-heat race with former state senator Michele Reagan for the office that oversees elections. “Arizona’s where dark money goes to play.” He noted that the host of supposed citizen education groups that now don’t have to disclose the source of their funding have pumped some $15 million into state elections this year. That doesn’t include $300,000 the group 60 Plus Association dumped into attack ads on Goddard this week. The group was originally established as a nonprofit to advocate for privatizing Social Security, but has become one of a host of groups that now operate their own campaigns without disclosing donors. Goddard vowed to push for laws that would force the groups to disclose their sources of funding if they get involved in political campaigns and take out ads, just as candidates and political action committees must now do. If the Legislature refuses to adopt disclosure laws like those in California and a host of other states, he vowed to Secretary of state candidate Terry Goddard and his wife, Monica, made a stop in Payson Thursday.

Marchers rally to recall victims of domestic violence BY

ROUNDUP INTERN

A heartening 120 walkers turned out on Wednesday to celebrate life and survival this year at Time Out’s Annual Candlelight Walk. Those in attendance proudly expressed their support with candles, glow sticks and signs that said things like, “Stand up for your rights” and “Break the silence.” After singing a few songs of celebration, members of Time Out and Pastor Donovan Christian of Expedition Church, which sponsored the walk this year, spoke at the short program that followed the walk. The marchers turned out to honor the victims of domestic violence in Gila County, with crosses scattered all over town before the

That would be a huge boost to the town’s streets and roads fund. Currently, Payson spends about $2 million a year on its roads. Garrett said this doesn’t even cover maintenance. The town used to spend $500,000 slurry sealing the streets annually, but now can afford only $50,000. The town has also canceled road projects because it just doesn’t have the money, especially after the Legislature diverted hundreds of millions of dollars from the gas-tax-based HURF fund that would normally go to cities and towns. Instead, the money now goes to the Department of Public Safety and the Department of Motor Vehicles. Garrett said if Prop. 404 passes, the town could finally consider overhauling Manzanita and Bonita streets, both badly in need of repair.

For the first time in its 20-year history, the Town of Payson may receive a chunk of the half-cent transportation excise tax if voters agree to extend it. For the last two decades, the transportation excise tax has generated $30 million in transportation improvements for Gila County. All of the money went to roadway improvement projects in the county, but the towns of Globe and Payson didn’t get a cent. This time if voters approve Proposition 404, the county will receive half of the money while the towns will split the rest based on population, said LaRon Garrett, assistant town manager. Payson could get about 28 percent of revenue generated through the tax or $750,000 to $800,000 annually.

With its cupboard bare, the Payson Area Food Drive is limping along. Chuck Proudfoot, who is directing the drive, said Thursday that backers are gearing up for a major holiday push with the demand for food from needy families and retirees ever constant. “Donations are down and we are feeling it,” said Jim Bridges, co-president of the Payson St. Vincent de Paul Food Bank. Last year, the PAFD tried to run a food drive year-round, given the success of holiday drives over the past five years. But that effort struggled with many businesses and groups not participating and residents unable to give. “I call it compassion fatigue,” Proudfoot said. This year, organizers are once again focusing on a holiday food drive, often one of the busiest times of the year for food banks. Last year, the community food drive brought in nearly $54,000. This, combined with $12,000 carried over from the 2013 drive kept two area food banks going for most of 2014. In October, the PAFD coffers dried up with treasurer John Wilson writing the last check to St. Vincent de Paul Food Bank. The St. Vincent de Paul Food Bank received about 72 percent of the donated money, or $35,000. But the money couldn’t stretch to cover the hundreds who show up every week for assistance. The Community Presbyterian Church Food Bank off Main Street got $27,000 from the food drive. Both food banks receive food deliveries monthly from United Food Bank of the Valley, but rely heavily on donations. Neither food bank knows what United Food Bank will send them from one month to the next. It could include meat, bottled water or just miscellaneous cans. They rarely get eggs or canned fruits. Volunteers try to include at least canned fruits and vegetables, cereal, a meat product and bread. If they don’t get supplies from United, both food banks buy groceries locally, often spending thousands at Walmart, Bashas’ and Safeway. Ironically, the PAFD has learned that many of these stores have changed their corporate policies and will no longer let the PAFD place food collection boxes inside their stores. This could deliver a huge blow the drive’s food collection. Proudfoot said he is looking into other drop-off locations, including the fire stations and businesses, but doesn’t yet know where they will place food collection boxes. The group is hoping residents

PHOENIX – Rep. Sonny Borrelli, R-Lake Havasu City, says too many laws and edicts from Washington are interfering with the individual rights of Arizonans. To combat this, he suggests Arizona assert its sovereignty when state leaders or voters determine that one is unconstitutional. “There’s so many federal intrusions and encroachments that we have to take a stand and say enough is enough,” Borrelli said. “We should be able to fight back. It goes back to the original intention of the Constitution.” That’s the essence of a ballot measure to be decided in November. Proposition 122 would amend the state Constitution to say that Arizona may exercise its “sovereign authority” to restrict the use of its money and personnel to purposes consistent with its Constitution. That would be done through a bill, referendum or “pursuing any other available legal remedy.” It’s the second straight election with sovereignty on the ballot. In 2012, voters soundly rejected a ballot measure that would have asserted Arizona’s control over its natural resources. The Legislature referred the matter to the ballot based on a 2012 resolution authored by state Sen. Chester Crandell, R-Heber, who

died in August after being thrown from a horse. Rep. Debbie Lesko, R-Peoria, who voted for the resolution, said that Proposition 122 acts as more of a mechanism than the previous ballot measure. “It’s fighting the encroachments of federal law. There’s no specific federal mandate or rule that this proposition is taking on,” Lesko said. “It’s important for the citizens of Arizona to decide to continue to use state resources to carry out what they perceive as a bad federal mandate or law.” Yes On 122, the main group supporting the measure, had raised $275,600 through Sept. 15, $257,000 of it from Jack Biltis, a Cave Creek resident and CEO and founder of TAG Employer Services, a provider of payroll and human resources services for businesses. In 2012, Biltis organized and contributed $1 million toward an unsuccessful effort to get the issue on the ballot as a citizen initiative based on petition signatures. Voicemail messages left with Biltis’ office weren’t returned. Even if the proposition passes, Arizona wouldn’t be considered a sovereign state, according to Paul Bender, who teaches state and federal constitutional law at Arizona State University’s Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law. “The state cannot declare its independence from federal law,” Bender said. “(Proposition

122) gives people the wrong idea. It might give them the impression that they don’t have to obey federal law, and it can get them in real trouble.” Sandy Bahr, director of the Sierra Club’s Grand Canyon Chapter, which is opposed to Proposition 122, called it another bad idea from an Arizona Legislature. “I feel like these guys missed a whole section of U.S. history,” she said. “The Legislature doesn’t get to decide what laws or programs or environmental protections on the federal level are constitutional or not.” Bender said that states have power over the federal government in choosing to enforce federal law with state law enforcement agents But one way the federal government holds power over the state is through funding, which Bahr said Arizona shouldn’t be wasting to make a statement. “The bottom line is the likely result is a lot of litigation, and we just can’t afford that,” she said. “Arizona has wasted enough money on dumb lawsuits, and it’s time the government stepped up and worked on solving problems.” Arizona’s Constitution says that the U.S. Constitution is the “supreme law of the land.” Borrelli said the new language would fulfill the hopes of the Founding Fathers. “The states are supposed to give very limited power to the federal government,” Borrelli said. “Our founders wanted to make sure they keep intact the states’ sovereignty.”

Christian shared pieces of his unfortunate childhood, not to make anyone sad, but to encourage others to move on to the future. “When you think there’s no hope, there’s always hope,” said Time Out director Edna Welsheimer as she took the stage. “I know we can conquer domestic violence together.” Welsheimer closed the program with a message to survivors to encourage them to reach out for help and break the pattern of domestic violence.

From page 1A In 1994, Gila County voters passed the half-cent excise tax to pay for highway and street improvements and transportation projects. The tax has a sunset date of Dec. 31, 2014. Projects in the northern Gila County funded by the tax over the years include: Colcord Road, Control Road, Fossil Creek Road, Pine Creek Canyon Road, Tonto Creek Bridge engineering, and construction of the Star Valley maintenance yard in 1996. The county spent another $543,000 on improvements to and maintenance of the Young Road, which goes from southern Gila County to northern Gila County. The 2014 Gila County Transportation Study for 2015 through 2034 identifies $166 million in recommended improvement projects to roads, bridges, bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Without the extension of the excise tax, the county will have only $74 million generated for these projects. The study identifies 20 specific projects for northern Gila County, including those in Young and another 20 for southern Gila County.

Community food drive falters, but hunger rising From page 1A will continue to donate generously this year, sending checks to the PAFD at P.O. Box 703, Payson, AZ, 85547. Already this year, the Community Presbyterian Church

is expected to hand out more food boxes. Last year, they served 6,680 people and by September this year had served 6,500. Bridges said demand remained consistent at St. Vincent while donations have dropped. He said the PAFD donations

remain crucial to the food bank. This year, organizers hope to kick off the PAFD mid-November and raise $50,000 and 50,000 pounds of food by the Super Bowl. Donations to the PAFD qualify for Arizona Charitable Tax Credit Program for the Working Poor.

Contributions up to $400 earn a dollar-for-dollar tax credit on Arizona income tax, which means a total tax bill can be reduced by this amount. In addition, the donation qualifies as a charitable deduction on a federal return if you itemize.

Historical Society celebration Join members of the Northern Gila County Historical Society Saturday, Nov. 1 at the Rim Country Museum as they celebrate the 30th anniversary of a State Fair triumph. Gila County won a Grand Prize in the 1984 State Fair — mostly do to Kerm Owens’ model of an old time sawmill. Mr. Owens had been retired from Kaibab Lumber since 1974, but still worked for them on and off when they needed a piece of equipment built. Late in the summer of 1984 they asked him to build an old-time sawmill and when he asked how long he had, the response was “about three weeks.” In three weeks he had the sawmill built with the boiler, saw, steam engine, logs and lumber stacks, but he did not have time to get it mechanized. It wasn’t until after the State Fair that he had time to get everything moving with the log going through the saw and the workers in motion. The NGCHS has a photograph of Kerm Owens holding the trophy that Gila County won in the 1984 State Fair; however the trophy stayed in Globe and attempts to locate it have not been successful.

OURVIEW

LOOKBACK • Nov. 1, 1512: The ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome, one of Italian artist Michelangelo’s finest works, is first exhibited to the public. Michelangelo’s epic ceiling frescoes consist of nine panels devoted to biblical world history. • Oct. 31, 1961: Five years after Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev denounced Stalinism, Joseph Stalin’s embalmed body is removed from public display in Lenin’s tomb in Moscow’s Red Square. When Vladimir Lenin died in 1924, he was embalmed and placed in a mausoleum featuring glass casing. • Oct. 30, 1974: 32-year-old Muhammad Ali becomes the heavyweight champion of the world for the second time when he knocks out 25-year-old champ George Foreman in the “Rumble in the Jungle.” Seven years before, Ali had lost his title when the government accused him of draft-dodging. • Nov. 2, 1983: President Ronald Reagan signs a bill designating a federal holiday honoring Martin Luther King, Jr., to be observed on the third Monday of January. King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964.

A stubborn foe faces open hearts As it turns out, hunger’s a stubborn foe. We were dismayed to discover that the Payson Area Community Food Drive has faltered — but hunger, poverty and dismay remain strong. The charity groups and community advocates that have worked every year since the onset of the recession to raise cash and cans to help our friends and neighbors cope with hard times met this week to regroup and figure out how to cope with the empty cupboards at food banks in the area. Five years ago, this warm-hearted, generous community started backing an annual succession of food drives, each year raising $50,000 in cash and 30,000 pounds of supplemental food to keep our food banks in operation. The community rallied to fill a desperate need, caused by the recession that threw so many young families out of work. The loss of supplemental supplies from the Valley hit the local food banks at the same time. The community food drive proved wonderfully successful for three years running, with a unified, end-of-the year push that started well before Thanksgiving and continued on through to Super Bowl Sunday. The effort hit a rough patch last year as some of the people who had led the broad community effort took on other challenges. Some divisions within the ranks of the various food banks also played a role as outsiders who don’t really understand this community disrupted the cooperation and unity that had made the previous drives so successful. So organizers switched to a year-round strategy instead of concentrating the effort just during the months around the holidays. Worse yet, big corporate chains decided they didn’t want the checkout counters and doorways of grocery stores and other outlets cluttered with boxes for canned food and other donations. So now the advocates for the food drive are scrambling to reassemble a workable plan. Hopefully, once organizers pull together a true, community effort, the local managers for those big branch store operations can prevail upon the higher-ups to reconsider their edict. In the meantime, we hope that you will help your struggling neighbors by contributing once again to the Payson Area Food Drive. The recession has supposedly lifted, but it doesn’t seem like that to all too many Rim Country families. We hope that the recession has taught us all how thin is the margin on which we live. We hope you will contribute to the food drive, knowing how easily any family can face hard times. No doubt about it: Hunger’s a stubborn and relentless foe. But it can’t do much against love — and the beloved community.

One last exhortation The election’s finally upon us — finally. Not sure what we’re going to do when the 200 vicious, misleading, panic-stricken daily emails disappear from our email inbox. Worse yet, we’ll have to go back to watching Viagra ads on TV, instead of all those mysteriously funded, completely unprincipled, character assassination political ads. How will we keep busy once we can no longer spend the evening trying to figure out which corporation is buying politicians wholesale? No doubt, we’re all eager to turn away from the tawdry spectacle of dark money campaigns and clueless candidates. But no matter how much you’d like to register your disapproval, we hope you’ll still vote. If nothing else, go and vote in favor of the Payson Unified School District budget override and the extension of the Gila County excise tax. Each measure will fill a vital need in Rim Country. The PUSD budget override will demonstrate support for our schools and protect precious programs vital to the success of our children. If it fails, the average homeowner will save about $6 a month. But the loss of the $1.2 million could drive up class sizes and eliminate extracurricular programs and essential classes. So please support the school override measure for the sake of our children. We also urge you to support the extension of the halfcent Gila County excise tax, which will pay for construction of new roads and repair of existing roads throughout the county — including Payson. Backers of the extension this year agreed to let the towns keep half of the money, which means $800,000 annually for Payson — a roughly 40 percent increase in the town’s depleted roads budget. As anyone who drives around town can tell you, Payson desperately needs the extra money. So no matter how much you’d like to wash your hands of the dark money attack ads and candidates who don’t quite take a position — please go to the polls and vote for the school override and the extension of the excise tax.

Grateful Riff-Raffs EDITOR: The Riff-Raff Club of Pine/Strawberry would like to thank all the businesses, community and club members for donations of prizes and helping make our annual Rifle Raffle a success. Community support provides food baskets for distribution by local churches at Thanksgiving and a much-needed donation to the Pine/Strawberry Food Bank. It also allows for donations to other local charities. The Riff-Raff Club is proud to be able to give back to the community. Our group is all volunteer and a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We are also recognized by the state of Arizona for the tax credit for the working poor. Thank you for your support and contributions! Dee Cockrum, Riff-Raff Club secretary

Distasteful, nauseating, vomitous message EDITOR: Thank goodness this year’s election is just around the corner and the profusion of more-negative-thanever campaign advertising will come to an end. It’s unfortunate that the leaders and wanna-be leaders of the United States of America, the greatest nation on earth, have sunk to new lows with their media ads. Maybe it’s time to start demanding that political ads be held to the same standards as all other advertisements when it comes to our truth in advertising laws. Perhaps all political ads should be required to end with the real truth: “The contents of this slanderous, character-attacking advertisement, which contains skewed information, half-truths and outright lies, and which contains statements and scenes intended to produce fear in the voter so he or she will vote for our candidate, has been paid for by anonymous, extremely wealthy donors whose main interest is to protect their money, status in society and control over how our candidate will vote during his or her term in office. I’m candidate Joe (or Josephine) Schmo and I approve this distasteful, nauseating, vomitous message.” DJ Craig

Change or the same? EDITOR: We have been ill-served by the legislators we send down to Phoenix from Northern Gila County. Our state senator and our two representatives are too frequently like lemmings to the sea in that they vote strictly along far right party lines. Their loyalties seem to be with their party and not with the welfare of the schoolchildren and citizens of Gila County. One of the reasons for the needed override election in our Payson School District is the miserly support the current crop of legislators dole out to our public schools. Our lawmakers will say they support public education before an election, but they too frequently vote with their colleagues to starve public education of the financial support it needs. They talk the talk, but they don’t walk the walk. Now that our former state senator is attempting a

“comeback,” it would be wise if us voters sent an entirely new slate of lawmakers to Phoenix to represent us. We in Gila County are competent, fair-minded, intelligent, and supportive of social issues that will advance our area. Shouldn’t we have elected officials that reflect these values representing us? I’d suggest that on Nov. 4 we elect a new contingent of lawmakers to represent us at 1700 W. Washington in Phoenix. Our different from the past choices would send a loud message to our current lawmakers and to their cronies that we definitely are fed up with business as usual. Richard K. Meszar, Ed.D.

Candidate supports schools EDITOR: I recently attended a Tea Party meeting and was quite surprised that I was in complete agreement with much of what I heard. There was a strong endorsement for constitutional government and recognition that a change in educational funding is necessary. I whole-heartedly agree with both issues. So, I’m quite sure that they will endorse a candidate for governor who clearly represents these values and they will oppose the candidate who clearly does not. One candidate has a plan for the $500 million (plus or minus) which the state Legislature illegally took from the school budget, and use the money as it was intended. Courts have ruled that the Legislature acted unconstitutionally. The money must be restored to the education department. Further appeals will only delay the rightful use of this money and will, indeed, be costly — reducing the amount of money available for good use. The opposing candidate however has made it clear that he approves of the unconstitutional action and supports continuing appeals. In the meantime, the money sits in limbo while schools are forced to cut programs and lay off teachers. If the Tea Party is truly committed to the principles they espouse, they will support constitutional government and school funding by electing Fred DuVal for governor. Noble Collins

Elk killed for horns, left to rot EDITOR: There was a beautiful bull elk and a herd of cows and their young that wandered the area between Northwoods and Houston Mesa Road. This was a sight may people enjoyed. One day recently a man with a couple of big dogs let them loose and they ran the elk hard. A young cow was separated from the herd and spent many days alone with the coyotes until she disappeared. This was very sad to witness but sadder yet is the big bull is now dead with his head cut off on private property within the town limits. His rotting body lies on a trail between the Northwoods community and Tyler Parkway that parallels Highway 87 that many people use and the stench is unbearable. The saddest part of this story is that this magnificent animal was killed for his horns, probably poached and the rest left to rot.

Beware of scams, banks EDITOR: People of Payson beware of fraudulent money orders. I was presented with a United States Postal Service money order. I presented the money order to my bank, which they held for 24 hours. The next day my bank advised me the funds were good. More than three weeks later, my bank contacted me stating that the money order was fraudulent and I owed them the amount of the money order. Friends of Payson, beware of any money orders presented to you and do not count on your bank for financial security, all I got was bunch of apologies. More than three weeks to verify funds? A United States Postal Service money order? Sorry! We work too hard for our funds, so be cautious. I have not named the bank here, but you can contact me if you want to know who it was. Bill Neal

Vote for Younker EDITOR: Deciding on who to vote for in the school board election is actually very simple. If you, like me, would like to get the federal government out of education. If you think that parents and community members should decide on the curriculum that their children are using and not the feds. If you don’t like Common Core. Then the answer is very simple. You will vote for Darlene Younker. She is the only one running who has experience with school budgets and school board issues. She wants to put teachers and kids first. If you want to put kids first, then vote for Darlene Younker and only Darlene Younker. Glenda Philippe

Override imperative EDITOR: There are a number of powerful arguments supporting the school override. I would like to suggest one additional argument that hasn’t been considered. Over the past few years, our community has lost a number of physicians for a variety of reasons. The majority of these physicians have yet to be replaced. Most physician candidates or their spouses who would be likely to stay long term will have a personal interest in the quality of the school system. It is one of the most commonly asked questions by physician candidates. Advanced placement classes and extracurricular opportunities are of particular relevance. If the override fails, entailing significant cuts in teachers and programs, and an increase in class size, it will become very difficult to attract new physicians. These cuts will not simply affect the children and their families, but also impact Payson residents of all ages. I suspect a similar argument can be made for other businesses and industries in Payson as well. Our community is simply too small to expect that a decline in public education will not affect all facets of life. Public education may appear to be simply an issue that affects younger families with children. In reality, all individuals will be affected by its quality or decline. As the override appears essential to maintain a reasonable educational system, it is imperative that it pass. James W. Schouten, M.D.

ARIZONA STATE REPRESENTATIVE LD -6

The 19th century story Chicken Little is about a chicken, who after being hit by either a falling leaf or an acorn, sounds the alarm that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the sky is falling.â&#x20AC;? This is one of many educational folktales that make light of paranoia and mass hysteria, and teach courage: Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a Chicken Little. It would appear that the story of Chicken Little has been replaced in our schools and society by yet another, more modern-day folktale. Since the first Earth Day on April 22, 1970, environmentalists have claimed that the world is in a climate crisis, and now with great confidence and fanfare they proclaim that the global warming debate is settled and over. Supporters ridicule and belittle anyone who disagrees with their non-validated theoretical positions. They enlist Hollywood celebrities, like actor Leonardo DiCaprio, to help sell their pseudo-science. DiCaprio, who was recently appointed as the United Nations representative on climate change, probably knows much more about Malibu surf conditions than he does about complex climate science, and should focus on his acting instead. Perhaps we all need to revisit the story of Chicken Little for a dose of common sense and some sorely needed courage. According to a recent Wall Street Journal story by Matt Ridley1 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatever Happened to Global Warming?â&#x20AC;?: In 2005, Phil Jones of Britainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s University of East Anglia wrote that if there were no annually measured temperature increases over a 15-year period, it would be so significant that it would invalidate the climate-change models upon which global warming policies are built. A report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) written in 2008 reaffirmed this fact when it stated: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The [climate] simulations rule out (at the 95% level) zero trends for intervals of 15 years or more.â&#x20AC;? Contrary to the global warming hysteria, numerous articles and scientific journals have been published disputing these dire claims, for example, the above sited Wall Street Journal article and the story by Anthony Watts2 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Global Temperature Update â&#x20AC;&#x201D; No global

If you independent expenditure groups want to focus on that vote (that who are opposed to a particular pixel), the real question is not

whether I voted for or against it, but why, and hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the explanation: In 1988 Arizona citizens voted to make English our stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official language. The Arizona Supreme Court later found that the law violated the First Amendment of our state Constitution. I voted against HB 1167 because I, and others, felt we needed to change our Constitution for the statute to not be overturned. In 2006 I voted for House Constitutional Resolution 2036, which sent to the voters the needed constitutional change so English could become Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official language. This shows not only that I am mindful of how we achieve our goals, but also that my vote against HB 1167 cannot be used to say I support illegal immigration. Any research on my immigration voting record would identify that I have voted 26 times for immigration bills that would protect Arizona residents, physically secure the border, prevent non-citizens from receiving taxpayerfunded assistance, and penalize employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens. Clearly, the mailers and statements take my actions out of context and distort reality, creating an unrecognizable image of me as a candidate. Distortion of the facts does not help our electoral system. The amount of negative campaign advertising that our state, nation, and voters are being subjected to is not in the best interest of good government. Even if voters do additional research to better understand the candidates, the false representations created by much of these opposition materials is damaging to how people view the process overall. I have concluded that I will not pay attention to negative advertising by slick marketing consultants associated with special interest groups. I will vote for candidates, basing my decision on sound facts, not distortion, and on the issues facing our state and nation.

greenhouse gas cited by the federal government is water vapor, so will the EPA next place a ban on Arizona waters? Perhaps not a ban, but the EPA has already made it clear that it wants to control our waters through newly announced Waters of the U.S. regulations, which once again dramatically exceed the scope and authority provided by Congress in the Clean Water Act of 1970. Until such time as we have clear and convincing proof that global warming is more than just a convenient theory to justify greater federal control over the states, we must not implement these expensive policies that will clearly harm Arizona and our nation. Both the hysterical claims of the environmental movement, and Chicken Littleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paranoia that the sky is falling, are simply not supported by the facts, and must be dismissed as folly.

Alyssa Boerst, one of four Arizona representatives, won a scholarship to attend the 2014 Fuel Up To Play 60 Ambassador Summit held in Texas in August. Now a sixth-grade middle school student, Boerst was introduced to the program in fourth grade by teacher Donna Moore at Julia Randall Elementary. Founded by the National Dairy Council and NFL, Fuel Up To Play 60 motivates kids to eat healthy, exercise at least 60 minutes a day and provides them with tools to get involved. Boerst also participated in a different school-sponsored fitness program called Operation Tone Up focusing on how food affects the body. She competed on an 11-student Payson team against other schools. The Payson team won the state competition in Phoenix, which went on the win the National Operation Tone Up contest in California. But she was the only Payson student at the August Fuel Up conference in Texas. The four-day conference included a dance, flag football with professional football players at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas and conversations with professional football players like former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman, Denver Broncos player David Bruton and St. Louis Rams kicker Johnny Hekker. Speeches took up most of the third day, with a sky obstacle course at the end, this included harnesses, zip lines and stairs, with a focus teamwork. Although afraid of heights, Boerst said she’s proud to have made it through. The food competition on the final day focused on the use of oats, dairy and fruit. One group bought the food and another made the meals. Boerst thanked both sponsor BRAX Cups and Mrs. Moore for making the whole experience possible. She hopes to become a sports broadcaster and remains involved in Fuel Up To Play 60 program through the high school, even though the middle school doesn’t currently participate.

School calendar locked in for five years BY

MICHELE NELSON

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

The Payson Unified School District board voted to lock in a school calendar for the next five years — unless it needs to change. The new calendar has a week off in October, a week break during Thanksgiving, a winter break, a March spring break and an eight-week summer break. One noticeable difference, the start date for the school year will move to early August instead of the typical late July. “What we have is a five-year proposed calendar (but) it is not set in stone,” said Superintendent Greg Wyman. Although, he admitted that no matter what the district decides, it can’t please everyone. “A calendar discussion engenders a lot of questions,” said Wyman.

The superintendent said he suggested four different calendars to staff and parents. The No. 1 question asked, do you want to get out before Memorial Day? Once that question is answered, Wyman said the district must have 180 instructional days and a specific number of hours of staff development, or training to complete the school year. Wyman said he has altered the staff development schedule — it will be a mix of days before the August start and a few early release dates during the week. This prompted board member Shirley Dye to ask, “Will that give teachers enough time to clear off their desks and go to a meeting?” Wyman felt the schedule would work well. Board member Devin Wala praised the efforts. “For me as a parent, the great thing here is to have (the calendar) consistent over the next few years.”

State Senate candidates clash in only debate Allen, O’Halleran disagree on AHCCCS, schools BY

PETE ALESHIRE

ROUNDUP EDITOR

The contending candidates for the state Senate seat representing Rim Country met this week in a civil, articulate debate that exposed profound differences on policy — and a mutual dearth of specifics. Independent Tom O’Halleran and Republican Sylvia Allen disagreed on a range of issues, including whether the state should roll back the AHCCCS system of 300,000 people, appealing a court order to make a payment to public schools and other issues. The race will likely prove one of the most closely watched in the state, since it may result in the first election of an Independent in state history. O’Halleran, a former police officer and stock trader, represented the bulk of District 4 during six years in the state House and two years in the state Senate. However, he changed his registration to run as an Independent for the seat that includes a vast swath of the state from the Grand Canyon to Snowflake. Allen represented most of the district for four years as a state

Senator, before she left to become a Navajo County Supervisor. When her successor — Chester Crandell — died in a fall from a horse just before the primary, the Republican Party appointed her to run in the general election. In their opening statements, they stressed different priorities. O’Halleran said education remains his first priority, since it’s the foundation of the economy. He also promised to focus on the reform of Child Protective Services rocked by scandal due to uninvestigated cases. Allen said the top problem remains federal rules and regulations and control of the bulk of the land in the state. “I believe very strongly in education. I have 19 grandchildren. I really want to continue to have local control. We need to reform the budgeting process. We have a hard time getting that money to the classroom. I think one of our problems is that there just isn’t enough money to do all the things the government wants to do. We can continue to go back to the overburdened taxpayer, or we can figure out ways to build a stronger economy.” Neither candidate offered

specifics on how the state should come up with money to cope with the projected return of a big budget deficit, much less increase school funding. O’Halleran talked in general terms of reforming the tax system. Allen talked about “thinking outside the box” and scrutinizing state spending. Repeal of AHCCCS expansion

The sharpest exchange of the evening came in discussing whether the state should repeal an expansion of the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS), funded entirely with federal dollars. Gov. Jan Brewer pushed through the expansion to cover some 300,000 families making up to 138 percent of a poverty level wage. The federal government agreed to pay the full cost of the added population, at a cost of about $1.6 billion. The expansion included a provision to drop the added people if the federal government ever pays less than 85 percent of the cost. Normally, the federal government pays about 66 percent of the cost for people on AHCCCS — which includes more than 30 percent of Gila County residents.

District 4 State Senate candidates Tom O’Halleran and Sylvia Allen

O’Halleran strongly supported the expansion. “I’ll protect it. I don’t believe our taxpayers should be sending a billion dollars to Washington, DC to give to California. While the federal courts are dealing with the Affordable Care Act, we need to take advantage of the $1.6 billion it brings back into our state — which will support 31,000 jobs.” But Allen suggested that the state will get stuck with the bill. “If the feds don’t keep their promise, they’re just going to kick those people off. They’re going to get their insurance through the market and they’ll be subsidized through the market. I don’t know that we trust the feds. This is just recycled money — taking tax dollars from Arizona people sending it to Washington and sending it

back … where do we get that money from? The blood, sweat and tears of the taxpayers. It all sounds so easy to say we’re just going to fund it. That’s what they did, they just kept funding and funding and funding. So it’s just not as easy as it sounds.” “I couldn’t disagree more,” said O’Halleran. “We have a system here that has a circuit breaker built in (if federal funding falls below 85 percent). The blood sweat and tears of the taxpayers are a billion dollars leaving this state and nothing coming back.” School inflation payment order

The candidates also disagreed sharply on what the state should do about a court order to immediately pay some $316 million illegally withheld from schools during

the recession. Taxpayers in 2001 adopted a ballot measure requiring the Legislature to fund an inflation adjustment every year for schools. Courts have ruled that the state failed to do that and may have shorted schools by several billion dollars. Arizona schools remain 47th in per-student funding, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. O’Halleran said the state should immediately make the ordered inflation payment with money from the state’s $500 million reserve fund. “This idea that we’re going to appeal it and continue to hurt education is not good for our children and it’s not good for our state. We need to prioritize — identify how we reform our taxing structure. There was no political will to look at the voters and say, we need to deal with it this year. We have to move our state forward.” Allen said the state should appeal the ruling. “I do believe the state should appeal it. During the good years there was more than 2 percent paid. It was only during the bad years we got into the $2 billion deficit. The state had upped the budget $1 billion every year for years before that. It’s not the state that has to pay it — it’s the taxpayers.”

Goddard brings ‘dark money’ crusade to Payson From page 1A lead a citizens initiative to put such a measure on the ballot. “They need to say, ‘this is mine’ and just stand up and take responsibility: That’s the Arizona way,” said Goddard, whose father served as governor and who served as the mayor of Phoenix. A Democrat, he also lost two bids for governor. “This is just a sham,” he said of the completely unrevealing labels many of the groups use, which appear on their political ads. One of the major dark money donors is reportedly Arizona Public Service, which is backing two candidates for the Arizona Corporation Commission, which regulates the utility. “Can you imagine what would happen if at the bottom of that ad it said ‘paid for by APS?’” said Goddard. “How do you think people would vote? But they’re too cowardly to come out and be responsible.” The ability of the groups to collect money, spend it on campaigns and then disband without ever revealing donors stemmed from a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that said corporations and special interest groups have the same freespeech rights as people. However, the court’s ruling said nothing about whether states could require the groups to disclose their donors.

Goddard said 20 state lawmakers have already signed model legislation he has proposed that would require the disclosure of the donors to any of the groups that engage in “political behavior,” with language that attempts to define such behavior. “The people who dropped the ball on this are in the Arizona Legislature and they’ve sent $15 million washing into our political system, destroying reputations and attacking people with no accountability. If the Legislature doesn’t pass this, I want to use the same language in a citizen’s initiative and I will head that effort.” Goddard noted that in 2012, consultant Sean Nobel collected some $135 million in dark money contributions and spent it on campaigns in many states, without disclosing the source of the money. This year, Nobel is working for governor candidate and current state treasurer Doug Ducey, the Republican running against former Arizona Board of Regents President and lobbyist Fred DuVal. Goddard also criticized his opponent for her positions on election law changes when she was in the state Senate. She sponsored several bills that would have required disclosure of dark money sources, but the bills died in committee. However, she told the Arizona Republic she wouldn’t denounce the

She has however said that as Secretary of State she would support measures that would force greater disclosure of the sources of dark money. Goddard also challenged Reagan’s support for a controversial bundle of election law changes. The changes would

have made it much easier to drop Independent voters from the early voting rolls if they didn’t vote in one of the party primaries. The changes also dramatically increased the number of signatures Libertarians and Independents and other Third Party candidates would need to get on the ballot. The changes would have also prevented third parties from turning in signed, sealed mail-in ballots at the polls, a change protested by groups that

register and try to turn out the vote among minority voters. Critics gathered 150,000 signatures that would have put on the ballot a referendum on the changes, which prompted the Legislature to repeal them earlier this year. “Arizona is 46th nationally when it comes to voter participation. We have too many quirks and barriers, especially for Independent voters.”

Rep. Gosar faces longshot challenger in Rim Country district Weisser offers sweeping critique of incumbent’s priorities BY

PETE ALESHIRE

ROUNDUP EDITOR

Mikel Weisser recently brought his Quixotic campaign for Congress to Payson, making an appearance, ringing doorbells and slipping his card under impassive windshield wipers. He’s the Democratic nominee in the Western Arizona based Congressional District 4, which includes Northern Gila County. He’s up against incumbent Republican Paul Gosar in a sprawling, nearly bullet-proof Republican district. A Prescott dentist, Gosar moved from Flagstaff two years ago to run in the safe Republican seat. Various vote-tracking websites rate him as among the most conservative lawmakers in Congress and he has doggedly opposed the administration of President Barack Obama, pushing investigations of the Internal Revenue Service, former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, the death of U.S. embassy employees in Libya. A former teacher and performance artist, Weisser campaigns with a certain doomed joy. He speaks readily with little fear he’ll say the wrong thing and damage his chances for election. It has given him a certain happy recklessness, which goes along with his background pushing for the legalization of marijuana and civil rights for gays and lesbians in a rock-ribbed conservative district. He fires off good-humored but

scathing blasts at Gosar for spending more time on politically motivated investigations and bills that make an ideological point than on taking care of local business in a district where most of the land is owned by the federal government. He focused for instance on Gosar’s embrace of rancher Clive Bundy, who made national headlines when he refused to pay federal grazing fees, resisted federal officials at gunpoint, then in the glare of subsequent publicity gave rambling press conferences tinged with racially inflammatory remarks. Weisser said, “The thing that bothered folks the most was the (Gosar’s) embrace of the Clive Bundy mentality — racism, sexism and all that. Imagine if the people in Ferguson (which had demonstrations as a result of an officer-involved shooting of a black man) had taken the actions that Bundy did and embraced that mentality. I’m sure it helps with testosterone-fueled rednecks to see that kind of flag waving — but that’s not really even flag waving is it?” He accused Gosar of waging a war on women with support for any measure that reduced access to abortion. He said Gosar has also declared a war on children by favoring the elimination of the federal Department of Education. On the other hand, Weisser said he also opposed the Obama Administration’s embrace of federal academic standards backed

by intensive testing and financial penalties. “We’re in an educational crisis because of the mentality that was thrust on us by the Bush Administration. I’ve been a Democrat since I’m in utero — I don’t support this administration’s direction — in the continuing expansion of mandates and requirements without funding them. I’m going to extend that to the toxic test atmosphere that’s the death of true learning. I have long spoken that our oppressors — the people running the conservative values agenda — want Americans to be sick and poor and fearful and ignorant — then they can hold us. When I see what’s happened with education I have a hard time believing I’m not onto something.” He said that Gosar has used over-the-top language and accusations, fierce confrontation and strident criticism to attack his political opponents and spent relatively little time on the needs of the district. “It’s amazing the stuff he says. But it’s a lot of time and effort away from solving the problems of America. I think that his interests do not improve the needs Congressional District 4,” said Weisser. “I don’t think he’s really advancing the needs of people in rural Arizona. His philosophy is not likely to. When your number one solution to every problem is how do we cut spending, you can’t solve stuff. I’m sorry that blatant

appeal to blatant self-interest appeals to some — I would like to see them consider their fellow Americans. I’m a member of what you would call the religious left. I think it’s a blasphemy to afflict the sick and the poor — and that’s what’s currently being encouraged.” Gosar has completely ignored his Democratic opponent in the course of the campaign, as he enjoys a lopsided advantage in fundraising and voter registration. Born in Wyoming, his brother has made two runs to become governor of Wyoming as a Democrat. Paul Gosar earned a BA from Creighton University in Omaha, Neb. and his dental degree from Boyne School of Dentistry in Creighten. He operated his own dental practice in Flagstaff for 25 years, earning honors as Arizona Dentist of the Year in 2001. He ran for office for the first time in 2009, when he unseated then-incumbent Ann Kirkpatrick in her Flagstaff-based District 1. He moved to Prescott after redistricting created a neighboring safe seat and won election in the new district in 2012, after triumphing in a tough primary battle. He won the general election against a littleknown challenger with a whopping 67 percent of the vote. In the past year he has emerged more forcefully on a number of local issues, after spending much of his time on abuses by the IRS, the Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms fiasco that

Congressional candidates Rep. Paul Gosar and Mikel Weisser

ended up selling guns to drug cartels and investigations into the security failures in Bengazi that resulted in the death of a diplomat and several others. He pushed to force the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to keep growing trout in a fish hatchery on the Colorado River the federal government had planned to switch over to raising endangered native fish. He also pushed unsuccessfully for a bill that would have streamlined forest thinning projects by waiving or minimizing environmental regulations. Gosar endeared himself to Payson officials by pushing through a bill that made it clear the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation has overall authority over the construction of the C.C. Cragin pipeline, which runs across two different National Forests. He has also pushed hard to clear the way for the exchange of federal lands to make possible one of the worlds largest, underground copper mines near Superior — an effort so far thwarted by objections from

the San Carlos Apache Tribe and environmental groups. Gosar has also sharply criticized efforts by the U.S. Department of the Interior to ban uranium mining along drainages leading into the Grand Canyon and to require the Navajo Generating Plant to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse and haze-producing pollutants. The Project Vote Smart website that rates lawmakers reports that Gosar in 2014 raised $468,000, with $135,000 from health professionals, $24,000 from electric utilities including the parent company of APS, $25,000 from casinos, $9,000 from mining interests, $50,000 from energy and natural resources firms, $26,000 from agribusiness firms, $13,000 from lawyers and law firms, $10,000 from the American Dental Association, $10,000 from the Association of Orthodontists, $10,000 from the American Academy of pediatric dentists and $8,000 from registered lobbyists.

Woman walks away from rollover crash ROUNDUP STAFF A woman walked away from a rollover Wednesday afternoon unscathed. The woman’s SUV rolled off the southbound shoulder of State Route 87 at milepost 260, tying up traffic for roughly an hour. The

SUV was badly damaged in the rollover, but it protected the driver. “The vehicle did what it is supposed to do and absorbed the impact,” said Payson Fire Battalion Chief Dan Bramble. The woman was wearing a seat belt and

was out and walking around when emergency crews arrived. The woman refused medical treatment and a tow truck driver drove the woman home. The southbound lane was blocked with emergency vehicles for an hour.

Board approves police officers on campuses BY

MICHELE NELSON

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

With little discussion, the Payson Unified School District Board voted to approve a school resource officer and a mutual aid agreement with the Town of Payson at its Oct. 27 meeting. Grants pay for a Payson Police officer to split his time between the middle school and

the elementary schools. School resource officers secure campuses and prevent crimes. They can make arrests and respond to calls. They also educate students on law enforcement issues and act as mentors. The new emergency response plan mandated by the state requires the district to work with the town in case of an emergency. Board member Shirley Dye had the only

question about the partnership. “If there is a townwide (or) areawide catastrophe, do we get first dibs on the help?” she asked. Wyman said that depended on the type of emergency. “If it is a summer situation and school is not in session, it would not be an issue,” he said, “If there is a fire … wherever we fall it will make a difference,” he said.

Final flare of fall colors likely this weekend From page 1A water, many species of deciduous trees thrive. These heavy canopy areas have a variety of trees that can create a surreal painting of the myriad of colors at this time of year. The secluded areas can be well hidden because of the heavy timber of the pines on the slopes on both sides of the canyon. To the casual observer, it may be just another steep Arizona canyon, but a little exploring can reveal the true colors of the fall which can produce a photographer’s dream. This may be a bit of “trial and error” hiking, wandering along a canyon floor, observing the kinds of trees that are growing in the area. If this is a first-time adventure, I would highly recommend taking a friend as company and being prepared for hiking in the Arizona outdoors. I have found a couple of these perfect canyons that have a variety of leafy trees that are visited annually at this time of year so that my family and friends can enjoy the bright fall colors. Horton Creek Trail

offers striking colors to the person willing to hike a mile or two. For the non-hiker a drive to the See Canyon picnic area on Christopher Creek will provide some great fall foliage photos. If you choose to walk a mile or two, take a day pack that can carry a couple of bottles of water, snacks, a sweatshirt, a flashlight, first aid kit, and of course a camera to make the afternoon complete. A lightweight hiking shoe that can perform on uneven terrain or maybe a few boulder hopping episodes will provide an extra measure of traction when traversing a creekbed on the canyon floor. Be aware that in many places cell phone service is very sporadic so make sure you tell someone where you are going. A little planning can go a long way in safety and comfort. Don’t miss out on the perfect fall weather and the fall array of colors that await you in many of the secluded canyons in the Rim Country. The time is now for peak colors under the Rim, take a friend for a short hike and enjoy the great outdoors, God’s creation.

Spikers win home finale to keep state dream alive Senior night spotlight on Cori Barnett BY

KEITH MORRIS

ROUNDUP SPORTS EDITOR

Cori Barnett wiped away tears as she prepared to play the final game of her volleyball career at Wilson Dome on Tuesday night. As Payson Highâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only 12thgrader, she stood alone in the spotlight during the pregame senior night ceremony, as the team presented her with flowers and gifts. And throughout the Longhornsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; easy 25-7, 25-4, 25-11 victory over the Phoenix Moon Valley Rockets, the middle hitter was the focus of many spectators, who held up signs of support and broke out on several occasions with chants of â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want Cori. We want Cori.â&#x20AC;? A couple of football players even came out of the stands holding pictures of her face over theirs shouting words of affection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was pretty amazing,â&#x20AC;? Bar-

Kelsee Stonebrink

nett said of the atmosphere and attention. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It kind of sucks being the only senior because all of my friends are involved in other sports. But volleyballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my favorite sport, so tonight was just like the cherry on top of the cake, and state would be the sprinkles.â&#x20AC;? Yes, the Longhorns needed to beat the Rockets, and win their final game, which was scheduled for Thursday at Chino Valley, to keep their quest to qualify for the Division 3 state tournament alive. Barnettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role has certainly changed this year after playing as a junior on a team dominated by seniors a year ago. A year ago, she teamed with Emmee Ashby to form what coach Arnold Stonebrink called the best middle blocker duo heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever had. But Ashby is now starring at Simmons College in Boston and Barnett started this year on the bench after suffering an ankle injury just before the start of the schedule. And sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had to carry a heavy load on a young team since her return, especially since junior Tessa Hintzeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season-ending knee injury a few weeks ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cori Barnett was the queen of the night,â&#x20AC;? said coach Arnold Stonebrink. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great she stuck it out and was a huge part of our success, both last year and this year.â&#x20AC;? There was no drama on the court as PHS dominated the Rockets. A 13-point run by Payson, featuring 12 service winners

and five aces by Klara Sorensen, erased a 2-3 deficit in the first set and put the Horns up 15-3 en route to the 25-7 victory. Emma Loweryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12-point service winning run turned a 3-2 lead into a 16-2 route, and PHS won the second set 25-5. Stonebrink emptied his bench in the final set, giving some of the younger kids a chance to play. The Rockets battled to a 7-7 tie, but a seven-point service run by Lacey Standifird, featuring two aces, jump-started the home team to a 15-7 lead, and PHS rolled from there, winning 25-11. Sorensen was a serving machine, abusing the Rockets with eight aces in 20 attempts. Sara Novack added three aces and served a stingy 0.71, and Standifird also added three aces. Sorensen, Sam Sokol and Lowery all were perfect in serve receiving. Lowery, Sokol and Novack each registered six digs. Brie Harrison was â&#x20AC;&#x153;on fire,â&#x20AC;? said the coach, leading the team both in kills (10) and hitting (.714, on 14 hits, 10 kills, and 0 errors). Barnett hit .357 (14-6-1), Novack hit .286 (7-3-1), and Taryn North hit .250 (20-6-1). The team hit a â&#x20AC;&#x153;very strongâ&#x20AC;? .267, according to the coach. Kelsee Stonebrink dished out 22 assists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The game was pretty much a must-win,â&#x20AC;? Stonebrink said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see how it all ends up on Friday. I do believe our team is very deserving of a state berth.â&#x20AC;? The Longhorns were scheduled to close the regular season at Chino Valley on Thursday needing a win to have a shot at slip-

The five section champions and 11 at-large teams based on the power rankings qualify. PHS moved up from No. 17 in the power rankings on Tuesday to No. 16 on Wednesday. If the

Longhorns donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drop below the top 16 after Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll earn a berth in the state tournament, provided Section 3 champion Tucson Empire doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fall from the No. 15 spot out of the rankings because the Ravens would then knock out the No. 16 team in the rankings. The live vol-

leyball state bracket show is scheduled for noon today at aia365.com and the bracket should be available at that website following the show. Paysonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s junior varsity also beat Moon Valley 25-7, 25-11, and the freshman team capped an 113 season with a 25-7, 25-13 victory.

No. 2 Longhorns eye deep state tournament run Boys host soccer playoff game at 2 p.m. Saturday BY

KEITH MORRIS

ROUNDUP SPORTS EDITOR

An 8-1 loss in the much-anticipated rematch with mighty Chino Valley last Thursday wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly how the Longhorns hoped to end the boys soccer regular season, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the way it went and now Payson looks to build on a strong campaign in the Division 4 state tournament. The Horns hoped to avenge a 4-1 loss to the Cougars at Payson on Sept. 20 and perhaps slip past the defending state champions and grab the No. 1 seed for the 12team state tournament. Instead, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll settle for the No. 2 seed, which means they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see Chino Valley again until the state title match. The top four seeds received a first-round bye in the tournament, which was scheduled to begin with four games on Thursday. PHS hosts a quarterfinal game at 2 p.m. Saturday at Rumsey Park

against the winner of the firstround game featuring No. 10 Snowflake at No. 7 Holbrook. Gilbert Campo Verde High hosts the final two rounds. Payson hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reached the state championship game since claiming its only crown in 2002. Coach Roger Whollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Longhorns shared the Class 1A-3A title that year, battling to a scoreless tie with Sedona Red Rock through double overtime in the days before shootouts. PHS missed the tournament last year after reaching the semifinals the previous two seasons, losing to eventual champ Blue Ridge in the Div. 4 semis in 2011 and coming up short in a dramatic 4-3 overtime battle with No. 1 Tucson Desert Christian in 2012. If Payson survives its first game, it moves on to the semifinals at 5 p.m. Nov. 7 to take on the winner of the game between No. 3 Show Low and the winner of the first-round battle between No. 6 Lakeside Blue Ridge and No. 11 The Gregory School. The state final is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. Nov. 8. On the other side of the bracket, Chino Valley (18-1-1) is the favorite to reach the title game for

a third consecutive season. As well as cementing their status as the No. 1 seed, last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win over Payson also gave the Cougars the Section 3 champi-

onship. PHS finished 11-2-0 in power points games, losing only to Chino Valley. Counting tournaments, Payson went 15-4-2, with the two other losses coming in the Show Low Invitational against Las Vegas schools. The Longhorns also tied Phoenix Country Day in that early-season event. The other tie came in the Old Pueblo Classic against Willcox. Although a victory over the Cougars last week would have boosted the Longhornsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; collective confidence, the fact that they earned one of the top two seeds and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t face Chino Valley again until the final is whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really important. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve shown they can beat every other team in the field that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve faced, other than Willcox, the No. 5 seed. Although the Cougars are clearly the team to beat, Blue Ridge canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be overlooked. Payson hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beaten the Yellow Jackets since 2002 before posting a 4-0 shutout at Payson on Oct. 7. The Jackets have reached the title game the past five years, winning four consecutive state crowns before the Cougars ended their run a year ago. Blue Ridge lost 4-2 to Chino in

the Chino Cup on Sept. 5 before tying the Cougars 0-0 in the Old Pueblo Classic at Tucson Desert Christian on Oct. 4 and stunning Chino Valley 4-3 in Lakeside on Oct. 18. PHS coach Chris Avakian said the Longhorns suffered three

injuries in the season-ending loss, but expected all three players to be back for the tournament thanks to the nine-day layoff. The Horns faced both possible second-round opponents, Holbrook and Snowflake, beating Holbrook 3-2 and the Lobos 3-0.

aroundthe rim Library lands $5,000 Suns’ grant Phoenix Suns announcer Al Mc Coy is well known for his catch phrases that include “Zing go the strings” and “Swish-a-roo for two” when Phoenix scores. Isabelle Hunt Memorial Library Manager Becky Waer might soon be mimicking McCoy because the local library has scored by receiving a $5,000 grant from Phoenix Suns Charities. Waer credits library governing board chairman Carol LaValley for writing the successful grant, “What she did was awesome.” Late last week, LaValley received a letter from the Suns that read, “We are delighted to inform you that Isabelle Hunt Memorial Public Library has been selected for a Phoenix Suns Charities Program Grant funding Child & Youth Programming ... in the amount of $5,000.” Library representatives including Junetta Clifford, Waer and LaValley are expected to attend a Nov. 3 grants reception at US Airways Center in Phoenix. There, the local representatives will receive the $5,000 check. But wait, there’s more. The second Suns event, a pre-game grantees celebration, will begin at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 7 in the Verve Lounge at US Airways Center. It will be followed by a halftime on-court presentation at the Sacramento Kings vs. Phoenix Suns game. Founded in 1988, Phoenix Suns Charities was formed with the mission to enhance the lives of Arizona’s children and their families by actively creating and supporting programs in the areas of education, health, human services, the arts, rehabilitation and sports and recreation. Throughout the past 25 years, more than $13 million has been contributed to more RATTLIN’ than 200 charitable organizations in THE RIM Arizona.

Personnel from the Pine-Strawberry Fire Department had to use the Jaws of Life to remove a female driver from this SUV on Oct. 13 when they responded to a head-on collision on Highway 87. The female driver of the second vehicle suffered only minor injuries. Morris said the accident was the third in a series of three medical emergencies in a 15-minute period forcing him to recall off-duty firefighters to fill vacant fire stations. Town hall

School hosts fall festival

Pine Strawberry School teachers, students and staff are primed and ready for the annual Buffalo Fall Festival to be held from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. today, Oct. 31, in the school gym. Dinner plates, which includes a Max Foster hot dog, chips, cookie and drink will be sold for $4. For the festival, the entire gym will be set up in carnival-like booths that include a haunted house, cake walk, bucking bronco, pie in the face, pumpkin bowling and more. Pre-sale tickets are available in the school office for three for $1. During the festival, they will be two for $1. The costume contest begins at 7 p.m. The entire school has rallied to put on what they say will be the best festival ever. Accident closes SR 87

The Pine-Strawberry Fire Department responded on Oct. 13 to a serious head-on accident on Beeline just 1.5 miles south of the Tonto Natural Bridge intersection in which firemen had to use the Jaws of Life to remove the female driver from an SUV. Fire Chief Gary Morris said it took nearly an hour to free the driver who was conscious throughout the ordeal. She was flown to a Scottsdale trauma center in serious condition. A Payson Fire crew assisted in the emergency. The two vehicles in the accident closed both lanes of Beeline for almost two hours.

Efforts to form a Design Review Board in Pine and Strawberry got underway Oct. 22 in a town hall meeting in the community center. Chris Walsh, who is leading the movement to find DRB members, told the audience of about 40 residents, that having a board would demonstrate to the Gila County Board of Supervisors that Pine and Strawberry is prepared to have a voice in future planning and zoning decisions. Design review boards typically are entrusted with encouraging quality building design and site plans that enhance the character of the town. The board would review proposed development projects within Pine and Strawberry for consistency with adopted design standards. While Walsh and a group of eight volunteers scour our two towns for volunteer board members, the question remaining is how they would be seated, by appointment or election? Once the board is formed, Walsh believes it would report to the county planning and zoning commission. The mission to have a say in local planning and zoning by forming a DRB has its roots last summer when a developer asked the county to change zoning regulations in Pine so that a Dollar General store could be built at the south end of town. The bid failed when over 200 people showed up at a county planning and zoning meeting to protest. The developer eventually withdrew his request.

Movie Madness events are some of the Isabelle Hunt Memorial Library’s most popular children’s offerings. Next on the agenda is the showing of the movie “Maleficent” at 1 p.m. Nov. 5. Since Pine Strawberry School will dismiss pupils at 11:30 a.m. that day for teacher in-service training, students will be free to attend the showing. The movie is rated PG and is 1 hour and 36 minutes in length. Refreshments will be served, but children are asked to bring their own pillow so as to be comfortable on the floor. Library Manager Becky Waer urges moviegoers to show up early because fire codes limit the number of persons who can be in the library during a given time. In the past some late arriving children have had to be turned away. Also at the library, one pound assorted See’s Candies are on sale for $18 per box. Waer says the candies come in white box, but adding a colorful bow makes a lovely gift. The library will receive its See’s holiday candies early next month making a large assortment available. Nominate an angel

Today, Oct. 31, is the deadline for participating in the Pine Strawberry Senior Citizens Affairs Foundation Senior Angel Christmas Tree program. To participate hustle down to the thrift shop and nominate an angel by filling out a form that asks for the recipient’s name, address, phone, age, sizes and dietary restrictions. Angels can be any local senior who would benefit by receiving Christmas gifts. The angel tree with names will be set up by Nov. 5. Those who wish to contribute gifts for angels can deliver them to the back of the thrift shop by Dec. 13.

Halloween hayride hits all Creek’s favorite haunts Christopher Creek is a month into fall with the weather just nice as can be. The days are warm and cool nights invite folks to gather ’round a campfire. We have enjoyed a prolonged show of fall’s spectrum of color. Those who begin to close their places for the season jump the gun and miss a great time of the year, it seems to me. It’s a time for hunting. It’s a great time for hiking. Fishing is incredible on the area streams. It’s a time to go gather a winter’s firewood supply. It’s a time for kicking back on a Sunday afternoon and watching foot- ANOTHER WEEK IN THE CREEK ball. In the afterglow of a tremendous weekend of gridiron on the flat screen one might offer that the state of Arizona is, at this moment, the football capital of the world! The combined record of the three major football programs is 18 wins and just three losses. Both university pro- Rod Britain grams are already bowl eligible and ranked nationally. Would it be crazy if both went undefeated until the Nov. 28 meeting in Tucson in the 2014 Territorial Cup game? The significance of that rivalry game ... well, one for the ages comes to mind. Last week Colcord had all the smoke from the pile burning by U.S. Forest Service. This week the smoke is in the Creek. The burn is on the south side of the highway. The plan is for burning 150 acres. We will put up with a little smoke for the protection gained from burning off the undergrowth. The Christopher Creek Homeowners Association

pulled off another wildly successful Halloween Hay Wagon Ride and Costume Party. The sun was still shining as an exuberant bunch all dressed in great looking costumes loaded up on the two trailers. There were trail vehicles behind as well. The whole procession with Christopher Creek Fire Department escorts departed the fire house and followed the candy trail through town. Johnnie, Ashley and John’s almost 4-year-old, decided not to ride in the trailers. He had taken one look at the guy with his head in a jar which stuck out from his chest and he didn’t want anything to do with that. After stops at Tall Pines Market and the Landmark the parade went through the neighborhood and ended up at Creekside about dark. My cheering section was a bunch of young boys including Gavin, Colton and Austin. They were chanting my name as they went by and were having too much fun. Hot chocolate was served and everybody dispersed. Most of the kids headed back to Landmark for the after-party where they had set up a cupcake frosting station for do-it-yourself decorating. There was a photo-op backdrop as well as another table for more hot chocolate and witches’ fingers. Great party and good job by all involved. Another server you have run into this season is a bubbly, energetic and outgoing blonde behind the bar at Creekside. Darlene Spear is her name and she was born in the Valley. Her grandfather was Harry Musgrove and he had a cabin down at Kohl’s where Darlene spent her summers growing up. This 1993 grad did all of her high school years in Germany. She has more recently lived in Washington State where she

has her nursing credentials. Her two daughters are her life, she says. Tuesday afternoon there was quite a flurry of activity at the end of FR 284 which heads up See Canyon across from the Tall Pines Market. Shortly after 2 p.m., a CKFD medical unit was dispatched for a fall victim. The older gal was hiking the Highline Trail from SR 260 Trailhead to See Canyon Trailhead when she suffered a leg injury and was unable to continue. Members of her group contacted the Gila County Sheriff’s Office by cell phone and one of the group hiked the remaining 45 minutes to meet units of the response force. Lifestar arrived shortly and soon after members of the Tonto Rim Search and Rescue began to arrive. Unit after unit flew up the 284 road until there were eight of 10 members, including horsemounted rescuers. The response time was just over an hour and one of the members was off on the trail by horseback and leading a mule. By 4:30 the rescue was completed and the gal who suffered the mishap was on her way. A good job was done by all involved. The roll-off container for limbs, twigs, leaves, pine needles and plant debris will be in town in the Landmark parking lot through Thursday next week. Remember: no garbage, appliances, construction materials or plastic bags are permitted. OK, here’s the deal. Gila County provides this service on their time line. Never mind the bulk of the leaves are still on the trees and shall be there for another couple of weeks. They balk at a later date. They say there may be snow. What? There hasn’t been a November snow in recent memory. We’re lucky to get snow by January! That’s a pretty flimsy excuse ... and that’s another week in the Creek.

The United States Marines As I write this it is Thursday Oct 2, 2014. Yesterday, as I read the Roundup I noticed a letter inviting everyone to attend the annual celebration of the founding of the United States Marine Corps. You should go if you can; you’d genuinely enjoy it. If there is anything to be proud of in this great nation of ours it is our fighting men and women, and in particular The United States Marine Corps. What might be fun for you, though, is to do a little arithmetic. I’ve seen people do it and the result is always fun to watch. One line in the letter says, “This year, as we celebrate the 239th anniversary of the Marine Corps ...” Hm-m-m-m ... Let’s see. 2014 minus 239 equals 1775. I’ll never forget one day in my first Air Force outfit when someone did that arithmetic and said, “Hey? How can that be? That’s before we became a country?” Well, take it from me — or from any Marine — it be. The Continental Congress, meeting in Philadelphia on 10 November YOUR TURN 1775 formed two battalions of Continental Marines. Every year, that day is celebrated by Marines all over the world. I arrived in Karachi, Pakistan, on Sunday Nov. 1, 1959, to serve in the Tom Garrett embassy in the Military Airlift Command Liaison Office. It took Lord only knows how much red tape, how many messages back and forth from Japan to Pakistan, and how much running around to get me started on my way, and three days on Air Force aircraft to make the 6,000-plus mile move. Once there, and safely in the staff car with Col. Guelich my new boss, the very first question he asked me was, “Do you have a dinner jacket?” My usual answer to questions like that is a highly intelligent, “Huh?” But I outdid myself that day, pointing out that while the Air Force had supplied me with six handtailored suits the question of a dinner jacket had not appeared on the horizon. “Oh, dear!” Col. Guelich said. “I’ll have to send my tailor over to the staff house right away.” He was as good as his word. I barely had my stuff in my room than here came a Pakistani tailor who hurriedly took my measurements, packed up his kit, and said he’d be back “... very, very soon, Sahib” for a first fitting. Finally, at supper that night with the rest of the five men in the staff house, I discovered the reason for all the excitement: The party thrown by the Marine security guards every year was due to be held on Tuesday of next week. That Tuesday was the first time I learned that when the Marines do something they do it right! One week and two days later I donned my new dinner jacket, jumped in a jeep with two of the other men from the staff house, and headed for what everyone called The Marine Security Ball. And ball it was! By then I knew that there were only eight or nine Marines stationed in Karachi to guard the embassy, and I expected to see maybe 40 or 50 people at what would have been — for the size of the Marine detachment — a very large blowout. To my utter amazement there were well over 450 people! I have never seen anything bigger — or better — in my entire life. The food was incredible, the band was great, the ceremony was one of the most moving things I’ve ever heard, and the night something I will always remember. Let me tell you something, folks, there may not be very many Marines — I think we have well under 200,000 of them today — but it doesn’t take many to do the job. How come? Because they are United States Marines, that’s why! Get over there to that celebration if you can, Johnny. And if you want to know in advance what kind of people you’ll meet there just Google “Sergeant Major Dan Daly” and read about a one-man field force who earned the Medal of Honor while he was a lowly private, and earned a second one 14 years later when he was a gunnery sergeant. You will hardly believe what he did in 1901 to earn that first medal!

Instead of a haunted house, this year’s Trunk or Treat festivities will feature a House of Magical Characters where you’ll find all of your favorite childhood characters, including Buzz Lightyear and Woody (middle photo) and Glinda the Good Witch (bottom photo).

Magical characters appear on Halloween A longtime fall tradition, the Town of Payson’s annual Trunk or Treat Festival will again be held this Halloween Friday evening on Main Street from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m in front of and in the parking lot of the Ox Bow Saloon. This year’s title sponsor is Chili’s Restaurant. As in past years, many area businesses and not-for-profit organizations will line the street with their booths, handing out “safe” candy and other goodies supplied by the Town of Payson. Vendors will be on hand to satisfy your hunger and thirst. And Ann and I will be spinning eerie music from the center stage. Please stop by, say hello and request you favorite ghoulish hits. New this year will be something that I think is going to be really exciting for both adults and children. Taking the place of the longstanding haunted house, parks and rec will host a “House of Magical Characters” inside the old saloon. All of your favorite childhood characters will be there, including Little Red Riding Hood, Dorothy, the Wicked Witch of the West, Buzz Lightyear, the Headless Horseman, Snow White, Cinderella and a whole lot more. “This is our first year to put on this display,” said Cameron Davis, director of parks and rec, “and we’re really excited. There will be 28 characters altogether, played by some of Payson’s well-known ‘celebrities.’ For those who dare to enter our House of Magical Characters, they just need to follow the Yellow Brick Road. And like all good children’s fables, our magical tour may start out a little scary, but by the time families exit, everyone will be wearing a smile.” As always, access to the candy booths is free. Admission to the House of Magical Characters tour is $3 per person or $2 plus a can of food for the food bank. This week’s question

Since September, caring residents of the Rim Country have hosted and attended various events to help raise money and awareness for the animals at the HSCAZ shelter before winter hits. One of the largest fundraisers of the year, “Pins for Paws,” took place Sept. 19 at Rim County Lanes. Sponsored by the residents of Chaparral Pines, many gathered at the alley with friends and family for the 4th annual bowling and buffet dinner event. The silent auction and raffle collected an incredible $9,587 in donations and will Humane assist in the various daily operations of the Society shelter. of Central The annual Wall of Hope will be on disArizona play starting Saturday, Nov. 8. Our budding artists this year are students from Payson ADOPTION Elementary.

Featured pets Here are just two of the many wonderful pets currently available for adoption.

Catticus Finch Hi there! My name is Catticus Finch and I am quite the lover boy. I enjoy sitting in your lap and getting some good petting. I am a calmer gentleman that wouldn’t mind a kitty friend. For a cat, I am not keen on toys. I would much rather get attention, after all who wouldn’t want to give me attention? I am a fluffy, cuddly little guy, much like a teddy bear. An easygoing household would suit my needs!

Malinko Oh yes, Malinko is here, and that means it’s party time! I am a whole lot of fun-loving, people-kissing, dog-playing good times! Whatever your athletic pursuits, if you have the energy for it, I Malinko will keep up! I am super friendly with everyone I meet, even people who don’t like dogs. In other words, I must confess to being a little rude. I just love to meet new people so much! The shelter staff are working on my jumping. Please be patient! If you’d like to help me learn, I listen very well. I am great fun with other dogs! In fact, I have quickly become the star of several play groups. Of course, my enthusiasm for new friends carries over to dogs, too. So my play buddies need to be tolerant of a wild and crazy guy!
