Residents of Canal Senior Apartments wait Wednesday to see whether they can return to their apartments after a small fire in one apartment set off sprinklers. Later, it was determined the damage will leave 40 seniors homeless for weeks.

Firefighters brought a man back to life Thursday afternoon after he accidentally ran himself over with a tractor he was trying to fix. The 66-year-old man was working on the tractor in the Prudential Realty parking lot around 2 p.m. off East Frontier Street and the Beeline Highway. He reportedly hooked a portable battery jumper to the engine to get it running, said Jim Rasmussen, battalion chief with Payson Fire Department. Witnesses said the man reached up to turn the tractor on and it started. However, the tractor was in gear and ran him over. The tractor continued on another 30 feet before crashing into a vehicle, Rasmussen said. The man was knocked unconscious. When firefighters arrived, just a minute after the call out, they found the man barely had a pulse; he was not breathing and was totally unresponsive. “He was basically dead,” Rasmussen said. Paramedics used a cardiac monitor defibrillator once and the man regained a heartbeat and started breathing on his own. He was flown to a Valley hospital.

Although Sunshine Cleaners arrived within hours, the water from a sprinkler had already saturated much of the carpets and seeped through the walls.

Republicans swept state offices Tuesday and added to their already comfortable margins in the state House and Senate. Even the early lead of Independent District 4 State Senate Candidate Tom O’Halleran gave way to a narrow lead for Republican Sylvia Allen, driven in part by Allen’s lopsided win in the Gila County portion of the sprawling district. Only Democratic Superintendent of Public Instruction candidate David Garcia came close to winning in his contest with Republican Diane Douglas, who on Wednesday morning had 51 percent of the vote. Douglas based her whole campaign on a demand that Arizona reverse its adoption of national standards based on Common Core. The turnout played a big role in the outcome, with only 38 percent of the voters statewide bothering to vote. See Republicans, page 5A

Payson School Board still too close to call Younker trails, but hundreds of ballots not yet counted BY

MICHELE NELSON

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

No one will call the Payson Unified School District (PUSD) school board race until Gila County finishes counting more than 4,000 outstanding ballots either mailed in late or turned in at the polls. Three candidates vied for two seats in a polite and thoughtful campaign. The leader, Angie Prock, has 36 percent of the vote. Trailing just 231 votes behind, Sheila DeSchaaf collected 33 percent of the vote. The two joined forces in a block to show up

at media appearances together and coordinated campaign signs. In third place, but just by 131 votes, Darlene Younker had campaigned since April with a purple and gold themed campaign, a professional website and T-shirts she and her supporters wore around town. With so many uncounted ballots, Younker still has a chance to make up the 131 vote deficit. Right now, Eric Mariscal, Gila County elections director, said about 3,300 people throughout the county dropped off early or mail-in ballots on Election Day, while about 1,484 filled out provisional ballots.

“The recorder’s office must verify the signatures on the provisional ballots before (the elections department) can count them,” he said. Mariscal said he estimates about half of the uncounted ballots could come from Northern Gila County. “We plan on completing the counting of the (mail-in) ballots dropped off by Friday,” he said. He hopes to have the vote finalized by the weekend, but with another county office involved, he said he cannot make any guarantees.

Firefighters save man

The tone out for a fire in the three-story Canal Senior Apartments off Main Street Wednesday morning rang like a nightmare for Rim Country firefighters. But even though sprinklers put the small fire out before crews arrived, the nightmare for residents will continue for perhaps a month, as residents seek a home for themselves and their pets. On Thursday, community leaders hastily gathered at the Senior Center to patch together a plan to provide housing and support. “I am overwhelmed by the turnout and extremely grateful,” said apartment manager Michele Bailey to some two dozen volunteers. “There is no way that I can do this on my own.” As the volunteers Thursday went through the seemingly insurmountable task of figuring out lodging and food for the next month, things remarkably fell into place with different groups and organizations coming forward. The local food banks quickly offered up food, the Red Cross cots and the Senior Center a place for residents to get a meal with the churches offering to prepare the food. The biggest hang up then was lodging. “I won’t let any of them sleep on the street, I will pay for them if I have to, but I can’t afford to do that for everyone,” said Rick Croy, president of the Payson

Regional Housing Development. The Powell House and Hospice Compassus took in four of the frailest residents. The local Salvation Army said it could handle the cost of hotel bills for the next two weeks, more than $25,000. “But you better be bell ringing for me,” said Jenny Scott with the Salvation Army. When residents can finally get back in their homes, some will need furniture, but the group agreed they would handle that later. The crisis that provoked such a community outpouring started with a frightening alarm at 8:40 a.m. Wednesday. The eight firefighters on duty quickly responded to the apartment complex. A large building with disabled and elderly residents, they knew an evacuation would take time and manpower, not to mention the threat of a fire quickly taking over an entire floor. Within 20 minutes, other fire departments from throughout the area had swarmed the scene, rushing to locate the fire and get residents out. Sleepy residents, many still in their house robes and pajamas, filed into the parking lot, some in wheelchairs and others with canes and walkers. Many carried their pets and others worried if their cats and dogs were OK in their now dark apartments. Many questioned firefighters and paramedics about their medications while volunteers handed out quilts and water. No one had any idea what was going on and some didn’t leave their rooms because they thought it was just another test. Even the resident from the unit where the fire was located couldn’t understand what all the fuss was about. “There is no fire,” said Jim, 62, who would not give his last name and stood in a thin, worn robe. Turns out, a candle in Jim’s apartment had caught some dried, decorative reeds on fire,

Rim Country voters deserve a pat on the back. The Payson Unified School District (PUSD) override passed. With a comfortable lead of 1,448 votes (or 60 percent) when the polls closed at 7 p.m. on Nov. 4, school officials are cautiously optimistic as the Gila County Elections Department counts more than 4,000 outstanding ballots either mailed at the last minute or turned in at the polls. Of course, analysts instantly called the election for Republican gubernatorial candidate Doug Ducey who had a similar margin over Democrat Fred DuVal. Analysts say it’s almost inconceivable that the uncounted ballots will turn out so differently that it will affect the override, which provides a 10 percent operations budget boost to the district. Barbara Underwood, president of the PUSD board, said not all districts had supportive voters.

Turnout determines election outcomes BY

201 West Main Street • 468-7535

“None of you bums” won a landslide victory at the polls on Tuesday. Only 38 percent of registered voters bothered to vote. That comes on top of the roughly one-third of eligible voters who don’t register at all. That means roughly a quarter of the voting age population participate in the process. This year the lopsided difference in turnout among core Republican voters compared to the groups that normally support Democrats may have played a decisive role in what turned into a sweeping Republican triumph. The pattern showed up in dramatic form in Gila County, where Republicans dominate in the north and Democrats in the south. For instance, about 50 to 55 percent of the eligible voters turned out in precincts in Pine, Strawberry and Whispering Pines, and curiously enough in Young and Tonto Basin — all bastions for Republicans with a large number

of senior citizens. On the other hand, turnout rates remained far lower in the Democratic strongholds in south county. The two precincts dominated by voters who live on the Apache reservation had turnouts of about 17 percent. The rest of the Globe-Miami areas had turnout between 33 and 38 percent. Most of Payson fell somewhere in between, with higher turnouts in precincts in the higher income areas of town. Payson precincts 1 and 8 on the west side of town had turnouts of 33 and 38 percent. The rest of the town had turnouts from 40 to 48 percent. Arizona voters typically stay home more often than voters nationally. Nationally, in a presidential election year about 58 percent of registered voters participate compared to just 52 percent in Arizona. In midterm elections like this one, turnout is about 41 percent both nationally and in Arizona. This year, the turnout in the midterm declined by 3 to 5 percent compared to recent election cycles. Nationally, the voting set records for lack of

voter participation with 70 million voting age Americans not registered and only about a third of registered voters showing up to vote. Off year, general election voter turnout has hovered just above 40 percent in each election since 1982. This year, it plunged to about 33 percent. Some observers have blamed voter ID laws and other efforts that make it harder to vote, especially by mail. Advocates say such measures avoid voter fraud. Critics say they discourage turnout among minority groups, which generally vote heavily Democratic. Other analysts have stressed the impact of the extremely negative tone of the campaigning. Much of that emphasis on often-distorted or misleading personal attacks came in television commercials and mailers sponsored by so-called “dark money” groups. A recent U.S. Supreme Court decision allowed such corporate and special interest groups to spend as much money as they want to support or oppose candidates without disclosing the sources of their money.

Prock has tempered her response to the vote based on the outstanding ballots. “What I feel is very cautiously optimistic,” she said. “You never know until it’s over.” Younker said she did not expect the results. When asked if she was surprised by the election, she said, “Yes, a little because I have a great deal of knowledge and experience to offer, but I respect the will of the voters.” DeSchaaf was unavailable for comment. Prock said she chose to have a low-key campaign, pledging to spend only $250, but the amount of time the campaign took still surprised her. “It was really time consuming, but that was OK,” she said. “It was an experience I had not gone through before. Whenever I wore my name tag out shopping or getting coffee — people would stop me and ask, ‘What do you think of Common Core?’” She said her husband and children would just whisper to her that they would catch up with her later. Prock also said she had a little anxiety about the forums she attended. “Going to the forums, I was nervous,” she said, “but they ended up going more smoothly than my imagination played out.” She said she ended up being pleasantly surprised with the Tea Party forum. “I had never been to a Tea Party meeting before (and) I had heard rumors,” she said, “(but) I was able to say the things I wanted to.”

Yet, her position as the leading vote-getter genuinely surprises Prock. “I’m surprised I’m in the lead right now,” she said. “I honestly thought Darlene would be in the lead — her presence was everywhere.” Younker had pride in her race. “I ran a clean race based on my principles and the issues and I am very happy all my supporters were respectful,” she said. While Younker spent Tuesday night at the Republican Headquarters watching the election returns, Prock said she stayed home. “I came home, made dinner, put the kids to bed and then sat up and looked at the computer with my husband,” she said. Prock is also excited about the override passing, but still feels cautious about going all out in her excitement until all the votes come in.

“I’m cautiously optimistic about the override,” said Prock. “I think it is going to make the job of the administrators and school board easier.” Younker hopes that the school board and administrators will work on the budget so the district will not have to go out for an override in five years. Yet she recognizes the changes need to happen at the state level. “As I said during the campaign, I believe this override needed to pass because of mismanagement and poor economy,” she said. “However, the permanent ‘fix’ for our funding woes is at the state level, not the local level. I can only hope that the new board will pursue making those permanent changes and also immediately begin working on their budget so that in five years, they will not have to go, yet again, to the taxpayer for another override.”

LOOKBACK • Nov. 7, 1885: At a remote spot called Craigellachie in the mountains of British Columbia, the last spike is driven into Canada’s first transcontinental railway. Despite the logistical difficulties posed, the almost 3,000mile-long railway was completed six years ahead of schedule. • Nov. 9, 1946: The Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Army Cadets play to a historic 0-0 tie at Yankee Stadium in New York. Notre DameArmy was college football’s biggest rivalry. Football tickets typically cost $1 to $5, but many fans had paid scalpers as much as $250, equal to $3,200 in today’s dollars. • Nov. 8, 1974: Salt Lake City resident Carol DaRonch narrowly escapes being abducted by serial killer Ted Bundy. When Bundy was finally captured in 1978 in Florida, he confessed to the murders of 28 women, and was executed in 1989. • Nov. 6, 1977: 39 people were killed when an earthen dam burst, sending a wall of water through the campus of Toccoa Falls Bible College in Georgia.

Rim Country voters looking to the future R

im Country voters showed a far-sighted willingness to invest in their children and their future in Tuesday’s election. Payson Unified School District voters approved the budget override proposal by a lopsided margin, with 60 percent in favor and only 40 percent opposed. The voters’ approval of the override, which will maintain a property tax surcharge that produces $1.2 million for our kids every year, stood in sharp contrast to the defeat of many similar measures elsewhere. A long list of districts suffered a rebuff from voters, unwilling to pay the modest surcharge on their property taxes. Districts that lost their bid for an override included Winslow, Blue Ridge, Maricopa, Parker, Queen Creek, Fountain Hills and a host of others. We felt a surge or sorrow for communities where voters aren’t willing to support their hard-pressed schools, balanced with a flush of pride in the voters of Rim Country. The strong support for schools here helped offset what looks like a challenging election for schools statewide. Most of the candidates who advocated finally providing proper funding for one of the worst-funded systems in the nation mostly lost. Winning candidates mostly advocated a hasty withdrawal from national academic standards and curriculum, a move that could spawn chaos and perhaps even cost the state heavily when it comes to getting help from the federal government. But in Payson, voters offered overwhelming and welcome support for the struggling school district. Mind you, that doesn’t mean voters approve of everything the Payson School Board has done in the past few years as it has struggled to cope with deep cuts in state funding for K-12 schools. We have sometimes criticized decisions of the board, like selling off Frontier Elementary School, hiring and then quickly forcing out the superintendent and letting elementary school class sizes rise. But we agreed with the overwhelming majority of the voters here who realized that revoking the budget override might save the average homeowner $6 a month — but it would punish the children — those who need and deserve our help the most. Rim Country voters also demonstrated their far-sighted willingness to foot the bill to provide the infrastructure crucial to the region’s economy. Voters approved the half-cent sales tax surcharge to pay for roads, both in towns like Payson and unincorporated areas controlled by Gila County. Once again, voters could have made the short-sighted decision that would have saved them some spare change next time they went to the market. Instead, they took responsibility and opted to invest in our common future. So we salute the voters of Rim Country for those two far-sighted decisions.

Beloved community The cause was small. The impact was great. But so is the heart of this community. For awhile there, the candle that lit the dried flowers that set off the smoke detector that turned on the sprinklers looked like an avalanche of disaster. The sprinklers doused the small fire immediately, but then ran for 45 minutes while the Payson Fire Department cleared the building and checked every room. By the time the fire department turned off the water, the artificial flood had ruined several apartments and endangered the electrical system, shutting down power to the whole building. The crowd of frail, elderly residents gathered in the parking lot waiting anxiously for word that they and their pets could return to their rooms. Instead, the effects cascaded, like the water the firefighters pushed out of the third-floor balcony. Apparently, no one thought to call the Red Cross initially and suddenly 40 vulnerable residents looked like they’d be homeless for a month. But then those who labor at the heart of this beloved community went to work once again. The Salvation Army offered to provide the money to put all the residents up in a hotel for two weeks. The Humane Society offered to care for all their pets. The Senior Center offered food and support services. Other community groups and churches offered to provide additional help and supplies. In a single day, these great-hearted groups had turned a disaster into a demonstration of love and concern. And in so doing they proved once again that no problem is too small and no challenge too great for love to stoop down and take us up in its arms. We do so love this place — and the people in it.

Ebola and America’s crisis of fear EDITOR: Ebola isn’t a crisis in the United States. One person has died and two people were infected by his body fluids. The real crisis is the hysteria over Ebola that’s being fed by mainstream media seeking sensationalism and politicians. That hysteria is causing us to lose our heads. I’m worried about America. I’m not worried about Ebola. I’m worried about our confidence and courage. What’s wrong with us? We never used to blink at taking a leadership role in the world; leadership that often required something more than drones and bombs. We accepted global leadership not just for humanitarian reasons, but also because it was in our own best interest. Where is America today? We’re not even paying attention to the health crises right under our own noses. More people are killed by stray bullets every day in America than have been killed by Ebola here. More are dying because of poverty and hunger. More American kids are getting asthma. One out of three of our children is obese, at risk of early-onset diabetes. Can’t we find a way to solve these problems together? Instead, we bicker. For the last 18 months, congressional Republicans have been blocking confirmation of a surgeon general. Why? Because the president’s nominee voiced support for expanded background checks for gun purchases, and the National Rifle Association objected. We’ve got to get our priorities straight. Media outlets that are exploiting Ebola because they want a sensational story and politicians using it for their own benefit ought to be ashamed. Public fear isn’t something to be played with. There’s a huge job to be done, here and abroad. Let’s ditch this manufactured fear, set differences aside, roll up our sleeves and get on with it. Larry Brophy

Obama vs. shovel-ready jobs EDITOR: Why does Obama refuse to approve the Keystone XL Pipeline? It won’t cost the taxpayers a dime as his other wacko projects have, and then there is the good old Sierra Club, in which has always financed Obama’s campaign to the hilt. Their goal is to shut down all fossil-fuel production and promote all these worthless green environmental projects like windmills, which don’t work if the winds don’t blow; solar panels, which won’t work unless there is available sunlight; the use of ethanol, which produces such pollutants — volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides. The “EPA admits it’s not the only source finding that ethanol worsens air quality as many other regulations and scientist have stated” as Mr. Robert Bryce states. University chemist Donald Steadman who studying of ethanol’s affects on air quality for 15 years states “any increase in VOS will hurt air quality and increase ozone level” — smog that is.

I have worked in the oil patch for 35 years and my last position before retirement in 1990 was supervising oil and gas engineer with the California State Division of Oil and Gas in District 4, Bakersfield, Calif. The Sierra Club states that Canada Oil sands are air pollutants as it is heavy oil, 8 to 13 gravity oil has been producing from the Kern River Oil Field in Bakersfield, Calif. since 1889, and is still producing; this huge oil field has been improving the environment. These shallow wells have been producing oil for the last 30 years by steam generators and pumping hot steam water down by pipe. One team generator services four to five oil wells at a time. Before the steam enters the well the pump steam is first used to power generator electricity for public use through the local power company. Meanwhile back at the ranch, Obama should promote the building of this Keystone XL Pipeline. His State Department found there would be no significant damage to the environment, as did Nebraska’s governor, whose endorsement followed the State Department’s approval. The White House has simply ran out of excuses for delaying the approval of a $3.5 billion investment that will provide some 16,000 direct jobs and even more downstream. The State Department’s fourth such vs. review in four years found once again that the pipeline wouldn’t make much difference to climate changes. If the Sierra Club is wacko enough to believe this can prevent Canada from producing oil sand to prevent air pollution, they better think again; Canada will produce these come hell or high water to China and the U.S. by rail and by tanker trucks which method is more dangerous than an underground pipeline. Ed Welge P.S. Raising food for fuel is pure insanity when others in the world are starving — corn and soy beans that is.

Where are the police when they’re needed? EDITOR: Tuesday, Oct. 14 at El Mexicano Restaurant there was an incident of dining and dashing. Two guys came in and ordered and ate, then one guy left. The other guy was detained by a waitress. The waitress called the police department at 3:19 p.m. to report this. She was nervous with the situation and called again somewhat later and asked where the officer was. She was advised that he was “on the way.” The detained person gave the waitress a description of his “friend’s” vehicle and he also told her that he was going to work at Gila Community College as a janitor. After about 20 minutes he grew more fidgety and he ran out the back door. The waitress and another female employee tried to stop him but failed. The officer did not arrive until 4 p.m. Dispatch records can verify this I’m sure. When the officer arrived the waitress gave him a description of the men and a recap of the conversation between her and the perp. On Wednesday, the officer returned with a mug shot book from which the waitress pointed out the perp.

The officer later came back to El Mexicano and told the waitress that he had “driven” around the GCC campus, but did not find anyone who matched the description of the pictured perp. He had not talked to anyone in personnel at GCC. I read in the paper that more than 60 percent of the town’s budget goes to finance the PD and the fire department. I want to make sure we taxpayers are getting our money’s worth. I was a police sergeant in Riverton, Wyo. and I can tell you that I would not accept this officer’s handling of this case as acceptable police work. And then Wednesday around 3 p.m., a pickup truck driver was seen dumping trash on Granite Dells Road, just east of the roundabout. A resident called this in to the PD. His neighbor was walking past right after the call was placed and told the dumper “this is not a landfill” whereupon the dumper said “F--- You” and continued emptying his load in the ditch. The neighbor, wanting to avoid confrontation, walked on toward Safeway. He never did see a police officer of any kind show up. Now I could call the chief, but I would probably be told that it was none of my business. As a resident of Payson I feel that this is my business. Ted Paulk

Ramrod job? EDITOR: After attending the Payson Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on Oct. 13, I have come to the conclusion that we are probably getting an industrial complex at the Fox Farm whether the residents want it there or not. Now it comes out that the property owner/developer is side-stepping the Town of Payson and going directly to Gila County for their zoning change. This zoning change would be entirely against the Payson General Plan that was recently approved by voters. Besides changing our general plan the town also would have to abort our current sewer/septic regulations in order to accommodate this developer. All this is seemingly being pushed through very rapidly — perhaps before too many people notice. Gail Ulrick

Not buying local gas EDITOR: I’m also going to buy as much gasoline in the Valley as possible. Recently regular gasoline was $2.89 a gallon at the Costco at S.R. 87 and Baseline in Mesa. A friend in Missouri said he paid $2.69. I’m agreeing with Larry Brophy, having just returned from a genealogy trip to Monticello, historic Jamestown, Va. and Yorktown battlefield. Gasoline was as cheap as $2.33. I’m warning my friends to fill up before driving to Payson. Michelle Dyer

Let’s shop around for another university EDITOR: ASU has contributed little if anything substantial and is still just dangling their commitment in front of us to see what else they can get for free. We’ve done the work, why not shop our campus around to other universities and see what better deal we can shake out of the bushes? Tom Hiscox

PAYSON ROUNDUP LOCAL FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2014

Republicans sweep state offices, Rim Country From page 1A The second big story for the election was the crucial role played by an avalanche of undisclosed “dark money” spending by out-of-state groups. Most candidates with lopsided support from dark money groups ended up winning. Almost all of the Republican statewide candidates did even better in Gila County than they did statewide, reflecting the growing strength of Republicans in North County and the relative dwindling of the influence of Democratic-leaning South County. The figures also showed a lopsided difference in turnout between Republican dominated North County and Democratic dominated south county. If O’Halleran had managed to win as an Independent it would have made history. The former Republican state senator changed registration to Independent to get directly on the general election ballot without going through a primary battle with then-incumbent Sen. Chester Crandell. When Crandell died in a fall from a horse right before the primary, the Republicans turned to former state senator Allen, then a Navajo County supervisor. It appears she managed to edge out O’Halleran, although a large number of provisional ballots remain uncounted. House Republican incumbents Brenda Barton and Bob Thorpe appeared headed to a comfortable victory over challenger Lanny Morrison in the state house race representing Northern Gila County. More than 4,000 votes remained uncounted in Gila County, with thousands more in the other counties in the district. The uncounted ballots almost certainly won’t affect the District 6 House race.

However, it’s conceivable it could play a role in the much closer contest in the senate. O’Halleran’s strongest in Yavapai County, which at 56 percent had one of the highest turnout rates in the state — so the uncounted ballots could boost him past Allen, although it remains unlikely. In local congressional races, Democrat Congresswoman Ann Kirkpatrick wound up with 53 percent of the vote on Wednesday morning in her expensive confrontation with state Speaker of the House Andy Tobin. The District 1 Congressional race drew millions in outside money on both sides. The District 1 seat includes Flagstaff, much of Northern Arizona and southern Gila County. Her victory in a swing district flew in the face of the Republican triumph nationwide, where the party not only gained seven U.S. senate seats to seize control of the upper chamber, but increased their margin in the House. Projections suggest the Republicans will wind up with more seats in the House than at any time since the Great Depression. Incumbent Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Flagstaff) received 70 percent of the vote, overwhelming a relatively unknown Democratic challenger in Congressional District 6, based in Western Arizona, but including all of Northern Gila County. The effects of computer-assisted gerrymandering of district boundaries showed in the lopsided results in most of the congressional races. Only the outcome of the southern Arizona matchup in the seat once held by Democrat Gabby Giffords remained in doubt on Friday morning, with Democratic incumbent Ron Barber essentially tied with Republican challenger Martha McSally. In all the other state congressional races, incumbents won by 10 to 50 percentage points. Millions in dark

money and outside expenditures played a role in most of those races as well. In fact, elections campaigns in many cases were overshadowed by millions of dollars of dark money spending by outside groups using money from undisclosed donors. In almost every winning race, the dark money came in by lopsided amounts on the winning side. The trend seemed particularly sharp on the Arizona Corporation Commission race, where dark money spending linked to Arizona Public Service appeared to help the two winning Republican candidates. The outcome of the three state ballot propositions provided some twists and turns. Proposition 122 giving the state government greater authority to ignore federal rules and regulations state officials deem unconstitutional appeared headed for a very narrow victory — 51 percent in favor and 49 opposed. Proposition 303 giving terminally ill patients broader rights to try experimental therapies passed by a lopsided 78 percent of the vote. On the other hand, Proposition 304 giving lawmakers a roughly $10,000 annual raise lost by a resounding 68 percent. In the statewide race in the very early balloting, Republican Doug Ducey scored a lopsided victory over Democrat Fred DuVal, with a 52 percent to 41 percent margin for governor. Ducey also benefitted from a lopsided advantage in total spending and in dark money spending. He ran a tight, disciplined campaign founded on a promise to cut taxes, fix the economy and cope with a projected budget deficit. DuVal’s promise to prevent more cuts in education proved less popular, but the mass of negative attack ads dominated the campaign.

Payson voters embrace school override From page 1A “Blue Ridge (school district) failed to pass its override for the second time in a row,” she said. “They are looking at deep cuts.” Thirty-seven other districts around the state went out for a budget override. Almost half failed to pass. Underwood said volunteer members of the override committee made one last push to get voters to the polls on Election Day. “They had signs and stood at the parent drop-off and pick-up locations,” she said. The override will produce $1.2 million annually for the district’s operations budget at a cost to the average Payson homeowner of about $6 per month. The district currently covers about 22

teaching positions with the $1.2 million the override provides. Those teaching positions keep elementary classroom sizes smaller, provide music, physical education and technology classes, as well as additional tutoring in reading and math. The administration won its bet that voters would support continuing a 10 percent override. Legally, the district could have asked for a 15 percent boost, which would have enabled it to make up for some of the deep cuts in state aid in the past four years. The committee met once a week since the primary to organize a door-to-door campaign, a media/advertising campaign with the Roundup, radio stations KMOG and KRIM and with the Sawmill Theatres.

Volunteers organized yard sign deployment throughout the community and a signature gathering drive of those who supported the vote. Campaign manager and former interim superintendent of PUSD Johnny Ketchem had nothing but praise for the community, campaign volunteers and his co-chair, Craig Swartwood. “It was a really combined effort of the community,” he said. “It was everybody that made the difference, but Craig Swartwood made a lot of difference with his positive attitude. I know the word of mouth was huge. My neighbors that I’ve known for 20 years didn’t understand it. So I talked to them about it. I really think it makes a statement of this community and what they think of the schools.”

self. On Wednesday, Higgins said he was looking forward to the opportunity. On his docket as a council member, Higgins said he hopes to get term limits enacted both for the mayor and council and work on economic development. Currently, the mayor serves two years and councilors serve four. But incumbents can run for re-election indefinitely. Higgins said this stymies new ideas and public participation. “They are sending mixed messages,” he said. “They say they want more people involved and different people in town government and then they are not limited. I just think those elected positions should be encouraging more participation and different people because there are so many good, qualified people in town. He said term limits would shake councilors out of their complacency and motivate them if they only have four years to make a difference. Currently, Glendale, Tempe and Gilbert have no term limits. Peoria, Phoenix and Scottsdale limit it to three consecutive terms while Mesa caps its council members at two consecutive terms. In Goodyear, the mayor

It came down to the ice cream shop owner vs. the former fire marshal. In the end, ice cream won out. Scoops owner Chris Higgins took the win Tuesday for the third and final seat on the Payson Town Council, beating out Robert Lockhart. In the primary, neither man garnered enough votes to take the seat, so they faced off in a runoff on Tuesday. Incumbents Su Connell and Fred Carpenter had already secured their posts for another four years, with incumbent Ed Blair getting beat out as well as challengers Charlene Creach Brown and Lew Levenson. Because Higgins and Lockhart are friends and even ran on the same ticket with Brown in the primary, neither put up much of a fight. Both said they would be happy to see either man elected. Some voters said they were behind both candidates and they didn’t know who to pick. Higgins said he told them not lose any sleep over the decision because he knew Lockhart would do a good job as well as him-

has a two-term limit and the council a threeterm limit. On Tuesday, Chandler voters rejected a proposal that would have let councilors serve three consecutive four-year terms and instead kept it at two terms. Besides term limits, Higgins said he wants to look at economic development, specifically commercial impact fees. The town recently did away with all but its water impact fee, but Higgins questioned if the remaining fee makes Payson competitive with neighboring communities. Payson elected to keep its water fee to help pay for the cost of the C.C. Cragin pipeline, which will guarantee Payson’s water supply indefinitely, experts say. A water expert recently told the council that many communities don’t have access to a water supply like Blue Ridge and will be scrambling to find ways to supply water in the future. That will mean higher rates. Higgins said he would like to meet with other towns and see if they plan to raise their rates. If they do, they may fall in line with Payson and the town won’t need to lower its rates. “It would be hasty for me to say that we need to lower our water impact fee,” he said.

This annual fund-raising event helps raise money for medical care of pets. This organization works with the Humane Society to sponsor low- or no-cost spay and neuter services for pet owners who couldn’t otherwise afford it. They also maintain a “Second Chance” fund for extra medical care of injured strays brought to the animal shelter and for pet owners who are faced with costly unexpected vet bills. “We

work together with all of the local vets,” said Howell. This year’s event was held at the Elks Lodge, food was provided by local restaurants. Mazatzal Casino’s Cedar Ridge Restaurant supplied the chili, macaroni and cheese and rolls by Gerardo’s Firewood Café, cheese from El Rancho, salad

from Tiny’s Family Restaurant, salad dressings from Fargo’s Steakhouse, desserts by the Barkery Bakery volunteers, and music by Trouble In Paradise. The raffle baskets were set up in the Barkery Boutique along with the sales of T-shirts. To add to the excitement, a silent auction, 50/50 raffle and U-pick raf-

fles also took place. Julie Coleman put together all of the raffle baskets — she collects items all year for this annual event. P.A.W.S and the Humane Society pitch in on merchandise for the baskets. Events like this help P.A.W.S. maintain Payson’s off-leash dog park, to keep it clean, attractive and to help fund improvements. Located on 1.5 fenced acres at Rumsey Park, the dog park is shaded by large ponderosa pines. Dual water fountains, bag containers, waste receptacles and nearby restrooms are provided to make the dog park a comfortable place to exercise and socialize your dogs. Another way to contribute is by making purchases through Amazon Smiles, which will donate a portion of the proceeds back to P.A.W.S. P.A.W.S. meets in the Payson Public Library Conference Room at 6 p.m. on the first Wednesday of each month.

Transit tax wins wide Gila County support BY

than $30 million in transportation improvements by Gila County. The ballot measure provided the county would share the revenue with the incorporated towns and cities. So both Payson and Star Valley will see a share of the money. “I’m delighted it passed,” said District 1 Gila County Supervisor Tommie Martin, who represents Payson, Pine and most of Northern Gila County. “It is about the only money the county — and now the towns — have available for roads,” she added. “I’m pretty excited about it, though I don’t like any tax at all. But this is a pretty fair tax and it will be shared with towns and cities,” said District 3 Supervisor John Marcanti, who represents Star Valley and a portion of Northern Gila County. “The state keeps cutting back and with the deficit it is facing, I don’t know what we’re looking at for next year. So this will sure help out,” he added. Marcanti said he thinks Payson will get about $100,000 a year and the smaller towns would also benefit. He said he thinks Hayden will get about $40,000 and Star Valley maybe $50,000. Among the Northern Gila County projects funded by the tax over the years are: Colcord Road, $188,081; Control Road, $340,575; Fossil Creek Road, Phase 1 and 2, $3.4 million; Pine Creek Canyon Road, $1.6 million; Star Valley left turn bay, $413,411;

Rim residents and visitors alike have paid the region’s half-cent transportation excise tax for 20 years. The tax expires in December. And residents have decided they want to continue to pay the tax for another 20 years, especially after Gila County agreed to share the money to build and maintain roads with the towns in the area, including Payson. The measure to extend the half-cent sales tax was approved 5,882 (57.02 percent) to 4,434 (42.98 percent), with more than 4,000 mailed-in and provisional ballots yet to be counted as of Thursday. The measure won in virtually every precinct in the county, with the exception of a single precinct in Gisela where the vote was 71 yes and 103 no. The measure just barely won in a portion of Pine and Whispering Pines. The measure generally got stronger support in the south than in the north, but still proved broadly popular across the board. Election officials expect to have those outstanding ballots in the mix some time on Friday. The results are unofficial until the canvass of the vote is approved by the county supervisors. Over the course of its 20-year history, the tax has generated money to pay for more

Another $543,571 was spent 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 for transportation, the county will have only $74 million generated for these projects. Even with the continuation, only $104 million is expected to come into county coffers. The study identifies 20 specific projects for Northern Gila County, including those in Young and another 20 for Southern Gila County. A place on a 5-, 10- and 20-year timeline is assigned each project. Also included in the study are scheduled chip seal, resurface and preventive maintenance projects for the county’s roads. Experts suggest that for every dollar not spent on roadwork now will cost from $7 to $9 in the future because the damage gets worse and the cost of materials increases.

Water, fire districts hold elections

WEATHERREPORT

Friday

PETE ALESHIRE

ROUNDUP EDITOR

The Tuesday elections brought new boards and new resolutions to old problems for a handful of Rim Country communities. The election saw voters trickling into polling places in Pine and Strawberry to pick new members for the water improvement district board as well as the fire district board. Voters also reconfirmed Colt White as the Payson Regional Constable, Tim Wright as the latest Gila County Superior Court judge and Judge Dorothy Little for another term as a Payson municipal court judge. Voters in the Pine-Strawberry Fire District gave Michael Clark 42 percent of the vote and David Burkhart 37 percent. Forrest McCoy trailed with 21 percent of the vote. The district faces a transition to a new fire chief, after the old chief left to head up the Payson Fire Department. Like many property-tax dependent districts, the fire

district faces financial challenges in a world of declining property values and a stalled construction industry. The almost entirely full-time professional fire department has rejected proposals to merge or at least share resources with other fire departments in the region. The Pine-Strawberry Water Improvement district elected three board members from among four candidates, the latest step toward boring, normal times after years of turmoil, recalls and protests. Several incumbent board members appointed by the Gila County Board of Supervisors after the old board resigned had to run again in the general election to stagger the expiration of board member’s terms. Incumbent Thomas Weeks drew 31 percent, incumbent Russell Brock received 28 percent and board newcomer and owner of the Sidewinder Restaurant Maher Hazine earned 22 percent. Former board member Sam Schwalm had only 19 percent of the vote. After years of

serving as a persistent critic of the board as it struggled to expand the community’s water supply. Schwalm played a key role in the often bitter debates and in the recall effort that led to the mass resignation of the previous board. Schwalm earned a seat on the board in a previous election, running unopposed. But when the rest of the board resigned, it dissolved the board and cost Schwalm his seat. His bid to regain that seat fell short on Tuesday. The Rim Trail Water District also elected several new board members. Ray Tanner came in first with 35 percent of the vote, followed by Gary Richardson with 28 percent, J.P. ‘Buddy” Rice with 18.5 percent and Jay Tennison with 18.46 percent. With only a handful of votes in the race, late ballots may still play a role. Tonto Basin School District approved by an overwhelming 85 percent vote to expand the membership in the governing board from three to five.

Community rallies to help fire victims From page 1A setting off the sprinkler in his room. The fire was quickly out, but the sprinkler continued to spray for another 40 minutes as firefighters went through the building, said Fire Chief David Staub. Staub later admitted they could have turned the sprinkler off quicker, but didn’t know if there was a fire in another residence and didn’t want to take any chances. “I am just glad no one was injured,” he said. Croy agreed. “We can replace a building, but we can’t replace lives,” he said. Hundreds of gallons of water seeped into the hallway and into other rooms, it leaked through the walls and into the floor below and the water even made its way to the first floor. The ceiling in the room below Jim’s partially collapsed from all the moisture, destroying many of the resident’s possessions. It was the second time the apartment had water damage as a result of Jim’s room above. The first time, a leak in Jim’s bathroom caused the bathroom ceiling in the room below to collapse. Firefighters used squeegees to push water out of Jim’s apartment Wednesday, creating a cascading waterfall from the third floor open balcony. They dumped trash cans full of water out the window from the apartment below. Everyone looked on and wondered when they would get back inside. Turns out it will not be for at least two weeks and likely longer, Croy said. Due to the extent of damages, crews need to replace walls and carpet, dry everything out and get the electrical back up, said Bailey. Wednesday night, many residents were left scrambling for a place to stay and put their pets. The Payson Senior Center stepped up and provided food and clothing for residents. JoAnn Conlin, center director, got on the phone and started calling around for help. She called Mountain Bible and “Bam! They were wonderful and put people up for two days in hotels,” she said. They received food vouchers from the Beeline Café and helped residents get with firefighters to get their medications. One donor said they would pay to board the resident’s animals at Furry Friends for at least two days. On Thursday afternoon, Conlin called around again and gathered two-dozen community leaders together at the center to brainstorm ways to help the residents longterm. We asked Staub why the American Red Cross wasn’t called Wednesday and he said he thought someone had called for assis-

Payson firefighter Julie Swansen rescued a terrified cat that was clinging to the balcony of a third-flood apartment. tance. The Red Cross, however, wasn’t called until 11 a.m. Thursday, a full day after the incident. Croy said they initially thought residents would only be put out for only two days, but contractors said the damage was too great. Out of the 63 units, 28 are damaged, mainly due to wet sheet rock. “Anything that is wet has to be replaced,” Croy said. Eight of those units have minimum damage while three have extensive damages. Workers set up several mega generators Wednesday to provide electricity for power dryers. “We are doing everything we can to get it occupational again,” Croy said. Bailey said 20 tenants are staying with family or friends, but 43 need assistance.

Most also have animals. The Humane Society of Central Arizona offered to take all of the animals, feed them and get them vaccinated if necessary. Jim, the tenant where the fire initially started, worried Wednesday where his two cats where hiding amidst all the commotion. Firefighters found one of them, a black and white tabby, clinging to his balcony. Firefighter Julie Swansen said she saw the cat’s danger and fear and grabbed its nape. Unsure where to put the cat, they put it in a laundry hamper. Many of the pets, volunteers noted, represent the residents only friends making the separation traumatic. Bailey said the disaster has deeply shaken some of the residents. The Red Cross and local churches offered counseling for those that need it. Canal resident of eight years Steve Sylvester said this is the first major incident at the complex. Sylvester was watching Boardwalk Empire when he heard the fire alarm go off. It wasn’t the first time the alarms had gone off so he didn’t get up until three firefighters entered his room and asked him why he was still inside. Sylvester said he was happy when he moved in and saw the complex had sprinklers because it lowers his renter’s insurance. Jim said firefighters should have turned the sprinklers off sooner. “I am just disgusted with all this overkill, they could have turned the water off immediately and there would be no damage at all, but no they let it run and now the whole third flood is flooded,” he said. Staub said the sprinklers prevented a major fire and likely saved lives. “The upside is assuming we had a fire and we didn’t have the sprinkler system we could potentially be losing the entire third floor or entire building. So the benefits outweigh that because no one is hurt, everyone is okay, where if there had been a fire this would have been very taxing for Rim Country fire agencies,” he said. “The sheer rescue of the amount of people in this building and the fact that they are not easily evacuated would tax our operations so the sprinkler system worked correctly, it did its job, unfortunately now we have some water damage.” If you would like to help, mail or drop off a check off at National Bank of Arizona, 804 S.

Payson’s economy perking along Region outperforming state with strong gains in construction BY

PETE ALESHIRE

ROUNDUP EDITOR

Rim Country’s recovering economy continued to outperform the rest of the state in October as evidenced by figures in Payson’s monthly budget tracking report. Local sales tax collections to this point in the fiscal year starting in June of 2013 have climbed by 6 percent compared to the year previously. That brought Payson an extra $109,000. Payson’s 6 percent gain compared to a 4 percent increase in state-shared sales tax, collected statewide and distributed based on population. The Payson figures looked especially strong in the construction sector, which before the real estate crash served as a primary driver of the region’s economy. Payson’s revenue from building permits jumped a whopping 80 percent, up $45,000 from the same period last year. Income from plan review fees, rose by 51 percent, an $18,000 gain. Other sources of revenue also rose as the economy continues to struggle back from the crash. For instance, state-shared income tax rose by 8 percent — which actually reflects the performance of the economy about two years ago as the rest of the state came out of the recession. Payson’s economy lagged then, but appears stronger than the state economy now. Statewide, job growth and sales have softened, creating a problem for the state as revenue gains are moderate. Payson also gained 8 percent in gasoline tax payments passed along by the state, an increase of $29,000 from the same period last year. The state diverted gas tax funds to state agencies, prompting the counties and cities to drop into a road maintenance crisis. The latest figures show the gas tax money coming back slowly to Payson, which canceled most street upgrades and can barely keep up with chip sealing and maintaining existing streets. The report showed a 9 percent increase in retail trade overall. The tourist trade also showed signs of health in August. Sales tax collections rose 13 percent for

restaurants and bars and 11 percent for hotels and motels. The year by year figures for the month hit $549,000 in fiscal 11/12, rose to $570,000 in FY 12/13, dropped last year to $545,000 then rose again this year to $604,000, the best August in the past four years by a comfortable margin. Despite the steady improvement in its revenue picture, Payson continues to struggle to make ends meet, according to the October tracking report. However, the breakdown by category reflects sales in August compared to the same period for the past four years. So far in the current fiscal year, Payson’s budget projects show the town will spend $437,000 more than it takes in. The money will come from previously accumulated reserves, leaving the town with a projected reserve of about $700,000 — not much for a general fund spending plan of $13.7 million. The general fund doesn’t include the water department, which lives on its revenues and accumulated money for the Blue Ridge pipeline. The general fund tally also doesn’t include assorted grants and special funds dedicated to strictly defined purposes — like lighting or infrastructure construction funds. So far in the current fiscal year, payments into the general fund in most categories are running ahead of last year but still behind the projections made when the town council adopted the budget back in June. Fortunately, the assorted town departments in the general fund have spent about 13 percent less than budgeted to this point in the year. The police department spends more than any other in the general fund with a budget of about $4.8 million annually. So far this year, spending continues to run about 18 percent below the adopted budget. The fire department has the second-biggest general fund budget — a total of about $3.3 million. So far, the fire department’s actual spending remains about 15 percent below projections. Employee benefits included in the central services budget account for the next biggest general fund category — about $1.1 million. But that category is only a little behind projections so far. Police, fire and central services account for twothirds of the town’s general fund spending. The water department outspends any of them, with a total budget of $5.6 million, paid for from residents’ payments on their water bills. That fund also includes impact fees and grants the town has collected to help pay for the Blue Ridge pipeline.

Starbucks opens in Bashas’ BY

ALEXIS BECHMAN

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

It’s been a decade in the making, but the Payson Bashas’ finally has a Starbucks. The modern coffee kiosk opened Monday in the newly renovated store off the Beeline Highway much to the approval of store manager Bob Mykleby. Mykleby said the store was slated to get a Starbucks years ago, but Starbucks backed out at the last minute. Since then, Mykleby has been pushing for a coffee counter, especially after one was put in Safeway. “I think there is enough demand here to warrant two Starbucks,” he said. Two months ago, construction finally began. Besides the Starbucks at the west end of the

store, ample seating has been added south of the Starbucks counter, including a leather sofa and armchairs, several tables and chairs and a flat screen TV. Bashas’ Starbucks manager Susan Hammock said the cozy corner is the perfect place for people meet and talk over coffee. “I am very excited,” she said. “I am happy the community has a place to gather.” Hammock was working the deli and bakery counters before she became the Starbucks manager. Mykleby hired 10 new employees or baristas to staff the Starbucks, all from the Payson or Tonto Basin area. Everyone attended two weeks of in-store training, learning to brew a basic cup of coffee to crafting complicated coffee orders, she said.

“There are so many variations from adding syrups, sprinkles, espresso shots or making it hot, iced or blended,” she said. Asrai Betts whipped up one of the newest holiday drinks, a chestnut praline latte for customers to sample. Mykleby and Hammock both said they hope the Starbucks brings in a younger clientele. The store, which hadn’t been remodeled in 16 years, finally got a makeover recently, said Mykleby, who has been with the Payson store for 17 years and the Bashas’ company for 31 years. Besides coffee drinks, Starbucks offers pastries and sandwiches will be added next year. For seniors and veterans, the Bashas’ Starbucks is offering an 8ounce cup of coffee for $1.25.

SEMI-TOUGH: Longhorns’ fervor may yield elusive title Fans use cutouts of players to support the soccer team.

Gerardo Moceri battles for the ball.

It’s been 12 years since Payson High claimed its only boys soccer state championship. The players on this year’s team think it’s time the 2002 Longhorns had some company. And they find themselves just two wins from making history. But it won’t be easy as a pair of nemesis stand in their way. First the second-seeded Longhorns must get by the state’s premier fall boys soccer program in a meeting with No. 6 Lakeside Blue Ridge at 5 p.m. today at Gilbert Campo Verde High. The Yellow Jackets own a record nine state championships and have reached the title game the last five years, winning four consecutive crowns before Chino Valley ended their run last season. But the Horns ended 12 years of frustration against the Jackets with a 4-0 victory in the only meeting between the teams this season. If they can get past Blue Ridge, they’ll face the winner of today’s 7 p.m. semifinal between No. 1 Chino Valley and No. 4 Tucson Desert Christian for the championship at 2:30 p.m. Saturday. Chino Valley is the only Arizona team to beat Payson this season, winning 4-1 at Payson and

8-1 at Chino Valley on Oct. 23 when several key injuries kept the Longhorns from mounting a serious challenge. The Longhorns know they can play better than they did in either of those games. “We lost Trevor Clawson, Jesus Robles and Felix Cruz to injury and those are three of our key starters,” Avakian said of the most recent meeting. “Trevor played but was like 40 percent at best. Once they took the lead I told the kids, ‘we’re not competing tonight with this team and we’re taking out our injured players. So it was basically our JV team out there. I think we can win the whole ballgame if we can beat Blue Ridge and if we can stay healthy. Everyone’s banged up but we’ll be ready.” The coach also discounts the significance of the 4-1 loss to the Cougars in Payson on Sept. 20 because that game was played the night of the funeral of Trevor Clawson’s mother, Joanne Clawson, which all the players attended. “You can throw that game out,” Avakian said. “All the kids were at the funeral, so how much were their heads in the game?” Avakian knows beating Chino Valley (19-1-1) represents a major challenge. The only blemishes on the Cougars’ record came against Blue Ridge, which tied them 0-0 in the Old Pueblo Classic and beat them 4-3 on Oct. 18 in a game in which CV was missing their starting goalkeeper, who was

It must have been at least a little disconcerting for the Longhorns to look into the crowd and see their disembodied faces smiling back at them. Well, enlarged photos of their faces, anyway. Suzy Tubbs and Ana Gutowski took photos taken and donated by area photographer DJ Craig, printed them out, stuck them on foam core and attached paint stir sticks donated by Home Depot to make what they call “fatheads” of each of the 22 players on the boys soccer team. They handed them out to fans before Saturday’s Division 4 state quarterfinal game against Snowflake at Rumsey Park. “We wanted to do the coaches, too, but they said no,” said Tubbs, who is head coach Chris Avakian’s girlfriend. “But we’re going to do

something different next week.” So expect to see the faces again in the crowd for the Longhorns’ semifinal game against Lakeside Blue Ridge at 5 p.m. today at Gilbert Campo Verde, and hopefully in the stands for the final at 2:30 p.m. Saturday. Gutowski’s husband, Jeff, a physical therapist assistant who helps keep the players ready to go each day, came up with the idea and his wife and Tubbs got busy making it happen. Although they simply gave the “fatheads” away this time, they plan to sell them in a fundraising effort for the team next season. She said soon fans will be able to buy the “fatheads” of their favorite player. “We’ll find out who’s got the most girls,” Tubbs said.

ROUNDUP SPORTS EDITOR

•Saturday: Cave Creek Golf Course, Phoenix •Race schedule: Div. 4 - 8:45 a.m.; Div. 2 - 9:15 a.m.; Div. 3 - 12:15 p.m.; Div. 1 - 1:45 p.m. •Admission: $10 adults, $6 students, free for children 5 and under said her father and Payson head coach Jonathan Ball. “She was fighting to get to that final spot all race, and finally in the last 150 meters, she charged hard and passed the senior from Tempe (Victoria Lebario) to be in medal position, but instead of really turning it on, Kyra then let up a bit, and got passed back. All that comes with experience, and the good news is that Kyra was the third freshman in, and the future looks bright for her.” He wasn’t surprised with her strong race after the ninth-grader impressed him all season.

The cross country season ended for many high school runners with the Oct. 31 sectionals, but a trio of Longhorns ran their way to the Division 3 state meet. In the Section 3 meet at Cross Roads Park in Gilbert, freshman Kyra Ball, junior Anna Schouten and junior Megan Porter all finished among the top 25 individuals to qualify for the state meet, to be held at 12:15 p.m. Saturday at Cave Creek Golf Course in Phoenix. Ball finished 15th in 22:53, Schouten 18th in 23:05 and Porter 22nd in 23:40.20. Tempe senior Fatima Islas won in 20:47. Tempe had six of the top 14 finishers and seven of the top 21. Fountain Hills had three of the top 10, four of the top 13 and five of the top 24. The top seven finishers earned all-section first-team honors, while those finishing eighth-14th made the second team. Ball appeared to be on her way to making the second team until slowing late. “She was great in the sectional race,”

“Kyra has far exceeded my expectations of her going into the season,” he said. “I thought she was going to help our team out, but had no idea she would be our No. 2 runner, and then with the injury to Abby (Greenleaf), our No. 1 runner for most of the season. This season gave her a lot of confidence and she had a lot of successes with four top 10 finishes, and two of those in the top five, however, she is still really young in her experience level, and needs to become a little stronger in regards to the mental aspect of cross country.” As much as anything, it was Schouten’s effort that was rewarded in the sectional. “Anna is the hardest working athlete on our team,” Jonathan Ball said. “To be where she is now from where she started as a freshman is just incredible. Her freshman year, she was kind of all over the place, not fluent in running at all. But now, with all the miles and miles she has put in, she has trained herself to run relSee Longhorn trio’s, page 6B

Grab your seat and hang on for the ride A few weeks ago I was sitting in the eye doctor’s watching a bright spot of sunlight slowly creeping across the tiled floor. I suppose that bright spot was nothing special to anyone else in the room. There it was, as ordinary as the day is long — a spot of sunlight. So what? “So what?” is that when I came out of the Air Force years ago I took my undergraduate degree in chemistry, physics and biology. Why? I think it’s because I’m naturally nosy; every time I see something I want to know how it works. Been like that since I was a kid. Now, as to that small speck of sunlight ... I was sitting there watching it and thinking that it takes a very good eye — one better than mine, I can tell you — to actually see a speck of sunlight moving. I got lucky once, though — over in Pakistan in 1959. I was with my future brother-in-law, Peter, who worked in the refueling office at Karachi Civil Airport. While we were on our way to the airport, Peter looked at me and asked, “Ever YOUR TURN seen a dirigible hangar, Tom?” Needless to say, I hadn’t. The only dirigible I had ever heard of — the Hindenburg — crashed and burned in New Jersey in 1938. You may have Tom Garrett seen the pictures. It was a terrible tragedy. Anyway, Peter drove us to one end of the airport, where I saw a huge dirigible hangar — almost 900 feet long. It was made to house the British R-101 dirigible, which was supposed to compete with the German ones, but never made it to Karachi because it too crashed and burned. That was back in 1930, I believe, but that big old monster of a dirigible hangar was still standing. Peter and I took a stroll inside, and while I was looking around I noticed a spot of sunlight on the floor. It was coming through a tiny hole at the other end of the building. That was the one and only time I ever saw a speck of sunlight moving fast enough for me to actually see that it was moving. Meanwhile, back at the doctor’s office ... It happened that I was writing a science fiction story about time travel, and looking at that speck of sunlight on the tiles brought something to mind. We all know we’re held to the Earth by gravity and are moving with it, so it seems to be standing still beneath our feet. But we also know that the Earth is about 24,000 miles in diameter and manages to spin all the way around in 24 hours. Which means, of course, that while I was sitting there in that doctor’s office I was zooming around in a circle at 1,000 miles an hour, or roughly 17 miles a minute. Not bad for an 80-year-old, eh? But in my story, you see, someone was sent back in time, and so it occurred to me that if you went back in time just one minute, and you wanted to land in the same place you started, you’d also have to travel the 17 miles to where you — and the Earth — were a minute earlier. It also occurred to me that it would take one very powerful engine to move you that far in just one minute. Then something else occurred to me. The Earth isn’t just spinning around like a top, it’s also orbiting around the Sun in a 92-million-mile radius. So we travel 584 million miles a year, 1,600 miles a day, or 68,000 miles in just one hour. So if you went back in time just one hour you would also have to zoom 68,000 miles through space to land in the same place you started. Man! Would that take some engine! But being a scientist I also knew that the whole dang solar system is traveling toward the star Vega at 43,000 miles an hour. That would mean you’d also have to go ... Tell you what, Johnny. I decided to write a different story. Why? If my impossibly powerful engine sent you back in time just one hour and it missed its target by one ten-thousandth of the distance to where you belonged, you could end up either nine miles up in the air or nine miles underground in solid rock. That wouldn’t be much fun, would it? And I was planning on sending my hero back 3,100 years! You know what? I think science fiction stories can only be written by non-scientists.

God is our refuge

Ring them bells Rim Country Christmas will be here before we know it. There are only 47 days to finish all the Christmas shopping and make plans for the holiday season. Unfortunately, this Christmas may not be as joyous for some of our Rim Country residents. Some may have recently lost a job or even their health. Others may be homeless and wondering from where their next meal is coming. One of the programs that provides help to our neighbors who are a little down on their luck is the area’s Salvation Army. From Black Friday through Christmas Eve, on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and every day of Christmas week, the red bells will be ringing outside the doors of Walmart, Safeway and Bashas’. “I want to thank all residents who rang the bells last year and to all whom so generously contributed last season,” said John Morgan, coordinator of the bell ringers. “Last year we raised a record $26,000, and every penny stays right here in Payson. “Last season, we had 353 timeslots on our schedule, but we are very thankful that more than 150 area residents stepped forward and rang for us. I’d like to give special recognition to Christine Slater, who filled in for 15 slots,” said John. There are four time slots each day and each ringer takes a twohour period, morning or afternoon. Volunteers can ring alone, with a friend or even with a pet. Please call John Morgan at (928) 474-8454 to volunteer to ring the bells for one or more time slots.

Last week’s question

Last week’s trivia question asked if you could name the onehit-wonder artist who composed the music for the movie “Toy Story” and the lead song “You’ve got a Friend in Me”? The Los Angeles-raised artist began as a professional songwriter at the age of 17. Some of his early songs were recorded by Gene Pitney, Jerry Butler, Petula Clark, Dusty Springfield, Jackie DeShannon and the O’Jays. As a singer, he had one song that landed on the Billboard pop chart, the controversial song “Short People” which rose to No. 2 in 1977. The choices were A) Randy Jackson, B) Randy Newman, C) Randy Travis, and D) Randy Savage. The correct answer was Randy Newman. Record producer, back-up musician and American Idol judge Randy Jackson continues to have a successful career in music and television. Country singer-songwriteractor Randy Travis charted many hits from the early 1980s through the mid 2000s. Following a stroke in 2013, he has been unable to sing or speak and has difficulty

Randy Mario Poffo, better known by his ring name “Macho Man” Randy Savage, was an American professional wrestler and occasional color commentator, best known for his time in the World Wrestling Federation.

Kudos go out to the Town of Payson for putting together another excellent Trunk or Treat event on Halloween night. Hundreds of ghosts, goblins, princesses and scary monsters gathered candy from the many business and organization booths that lined Main Street in front of the historic Ox Bow Saloon. This year’s new House of Magical Characters seemed to be the highlight of the mild autumn night. Hats off to the 28 fable and movie characters and those who toiled for so many hours putting together this magical “Yellow Brick Road” tour. You made it a special night for Payson children.

Lots of good times coming to the Creek Christopher Creek went from cool to chilly to crisp in the last couple of weeks. Fall has been a classic. The magic of having four seasons is foreign to those Valley denizens who visit here in the summer. They really don’t know what they’re missing during the autumn and winter months. That said, let’s get right into the rest of the fall social ANOTHER WEEK IN THE CREEK agenda: • Creekside Restaurant is hosting Wine in the Pines 2014, a wine-pairing event featuring samplers of chicken, beef and shrimp dishes along with the appropriate wine at 3 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 15, the cost is $10 per Rod Britain person. Dave Elston will be doing the presentation and there will a couple of nice raffle items. Those who RSVP to (928) 478-4557 by Nov. 14 will also receive an embossed wine glass commemorating the occasion. What a great time for our Payson neighbors to come see what has been done to breathe life back into the historic Rim Country icon. • Next is the Decorate the Loop party to put up the lights and Christmas scenery through the heart of Christopher Creek. Chuck, CCHOA president for life, advises us that the time will be 10 a.m., Saturday, Nov. 22. • Samone tells us the Landmark Restaurant will be having its traditional Thanksgiving Community Potluck Thursday, Nov. 27. The doors will open at noon and they will be serving at 2 p.m. • Then on Saturday, Dec. 6 Breakfast with Santa at Creekside will afford families a photo-op with the Jolly Ol’ Elf so you can get those pictures of the kids with Santa to mail out in your Christmas cards. This is a firsttime event, so everybody come have breakfast with m-, ah, Santa, that is. You never know what might happen.

Dave Elston’s Halloween costume was a commentary on the lawn deposits many Creek residents received this summer. That will be from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., watch for the second reminder, which will fill in the rest of the details. Bring your camera. • Saturday, Dec. 13 is the big day! Santa is coming to the Creek ... again! The CCHOA Children’s Christmas Party will be held at the fire station. The festivities kick off at 1 p.m., with the arrival of Santa scheduled about 1:45 p.m., depending on the weather between here and the North Pole. We’re hoping for SNOW! Then we wait for dark and soon they begin to appear. First, one or two and then a glow begins to grow down by the Tall Pines Market, and few more and finally they’re all lined up in all their dazzling splendor ... all the spectacu-

lar entries for the Christopher Creek Christmas Electric Light Parade! All last week, Chuck Schmitt worked long and hard, cutting and drilling the square steel tubing and getting it all taped up for underground installation. Dave got down there and helped out. Then on Friday morning, Dean brought a two-man, six-inch auger from his shop in the Valley. TWO-man, my hip pockets! That thing liked to whip the four of us hanging on as it chewed down through the rocky soil. The crew of Chuck, Dean and Scott got the holes dug, and then Chuck and Dean installed the tubing in cement. And, voila! We now have a slick new way to put up the Christmas scenery without the need for ladders and screw guns. Good job, fellas. Last Friday night the adults got to do their Halloween thing down at the Landmark. Smoke and dancing lights, along with the spider webs, witches and “The Guy” highlighted the décor. One of my favorite costumes was the “Devil or Angel” pair of Dean and Genny. The half-devil, half-angel couple was right out of the 1960 Bobby Vee song by the same name. Cruella de Vil and one of the Dalmatians won the best couples prize as portrayed by Scott and Marilyn. Highlanders and Vikings, pirates and nuns, Superman, Merlin and the gynecologist were all in attendance. The big baby got aced out of top prize by Beetlejuice, but he might have scored better had his diaper not been full. Cindi and Gary, Samone and Josh and the crew did a fine job hosting the event. Wednesday evening, my curiosity took me outside to search the edge of the Rim on the remote chance the alien space ship involved in the abduction of Travis Walton might reappear on the 39th anniversary of that event. To date, the six witnesses to the abduction have never varied from their original accounts. Alas, my effort was to no avail. Evidently, aliens do not celebrate anniversaries ... and that’s another week in the Creek.

at 6:30 p.m., Monday, Nov. 10. This month’s meeting will be a presentation by Harold Rush on how to make 3-D images. Harold explains two methods, cross-eyed and anaglyph. The first is a way to make two photos and arrange them so when looked at by slightly crossing your eyes, a 3D image will be formed. The second method forms a picture like the 1950s 3-D movies or comic books, so when looked at using red/blue glasses, a 3D image is seen.

BEAN

Bean is an older gentleman who is on the shy side, and will need someone to take the time to show him that everything will be OK. He would benefit from a slower-paced household where he can build some confidence. Once he gets comfortable he is a quiet cat who likes to hang out, but he doesn’t like to be picked up very much. He does like his treats, and will become your best friend with the help of treats and a good scratch on the neck.

I am a shy, quiet girl who takes a little time to build trust. If you sit or kneel and call me over, I will come put my head in your lap. I love to be petted gently and am very affectionate once I get to know you! A quieter home with active adults would be just my style. I may be shy, but I am quite the athlete. Take me out for a hike — I have plenty of stamina! Speaking of athletics, I don’t have any problem climbing the fence to go out exploring. So unless you have a really tall fence, I would do best as an indoor dog! I am pretty shy when it comes to making dog friends, too. I don’t mind having other dogs around, as long as they respect my space. I like to make friends slowly!

PAYSON ROUNDUP SPORTS FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2014

Dedicated soccer players hope hard work leads to title From page 1B out with an injury. “Chino’s awesome,” the coach said. “It’s their championship to lose. They’re technically sound and they’re fast. But they’re beatable.” Although PHS hasn’t played in a state championship game since the Longhorns tied Sedona Red Rock 0-0 through two overtimes to share the Class 1A-3A crown with the Scorpions in 2002, it’s come close, losing to top-seeded Desert Christian in a 4-3 overtime semifinal heartbreaker two years ago after falling to Blue Ridge in the semis in 2011. So the Horns find themselves on the doorstep of the title game for the third time in four seasons. But Avakian has reason to believe the Longhorns can finally break through this year. “This team has more dedication,” he said. “I called practice at 5:30 (Tuesday) because it was cold,” Avakian said. “They said, ‘go on coach,’ and six or seven of them stayed on the field just working on stuff until the lights (on a timer) went off. In past years, when practice was over everyone was like, ‘OK, time to get out of here.’” And that’s just the latest example of the change in attitude of the players on this year’s squad. “I could never get more than three or four of them out in the summertime (before), and this year, we had 10 or 11 kids out every day in the summer in our league with Camp Verde, Chino Valley, Mingus and Bradshaw,” Avakian said. “That was phenomenal because we got to play six or seven games where they got to work on technical things where it didn’t matter if we won

or lost.” And it wasn’t just soccer techniques the Longhorns worked on over the summer. “We had a personal trainer, Suzy Tubbs, work with them for two hours a day (Monday-Friday) for two weeks and 90 percent of the boys were there every day for that,” Avakian said. “It was no soccer, just physical training stuff I don’t even want to do.” No matter what happens this weekend, Avakian has thoroughly enjoyed the way his team has rebounded from last year’s disappointing 4-14-3 campaign. PHS enters this weekend with a 16-4-1 record, with two of those losses coming to Las Vegas teams in the Show Low Invitational and the other two coming to Chino Valley. “Hopefully, we make the dream come true,” the coach said. “After last year, I’m happy no matter what happens. Actually, I’m happy in any season, as long as the boys have fun and play their best. If another team beats you and they’re better than you, that’s life, that’s what happens in life; you live and learn from it. I’m proud of the

boys and I was last year.” Fueling this year’s success is a roster featuring 11 seniors and five juniors. “It’s really instrumental to have those upperclassmen,” Avakian said. Felix Cruz is one of the seniors who’s played on the team for four years and experienced semifinal defeat twice. He said the only way to erase those memories is to win two more games. “We’ve got to bring it hard because we already went twice and didn’t go all the way,” Cruz said. “We’ve got to go all the way this time.” Cruz has played a key role in three ways: he’s one of the team’s three captains, along with sweeper Trevor Clawson and junior midfielder Gerardo Moceri; he recruited seniors Javier Jacobo, Francisco Valenzuela and Pedro Chavez to join the team this year; and he mans a key midfield position with Moceri. And when the players convinced junior Carl Adcock to join the team this year to take over at goalkeeper in his first year of soccer, that allowed Moceri to return to his natural position after he moved into the net as a sophomore when an injury knocked out the Longhorns’ starter between the pipes. Although Jacobo leads the team in scoring, Adcock’s addition can’t be overlooked. “Probably the most important guy they recruited to come play was Carl, because we get Gerardo on the field where he’s 100 times better,” Avakian said. “Gerardo on the field is so key to everything we do because we run everything through our midfielders and he sees the field so well. And without Carl, we wouldn’t be able to do that.”

Longhorn trio’s improvement results in state meet berths From page 1B atively smooth. “My assistant coach Mandy Greenleaf has done an excellent job the past two years, taking pictures and video of our runners, so that she can show them the difference of good for versus bad form. Coach Mandy and Anna have looked over countless pictures of (Anna) running and to Anna’s credit she has worked hard on the things coach Mandy suggests, and it shows as her times continue to drop, and now we don’t see nearly as many pictures of bad running form from Anna. “Her stride, as well as leg, and arm drive, have really developed, and it has led to her making many improvements in her running. She broke through last year qualifying for state in both cross country and track, and now this year improved on

her sectional performance from last year by six places jumping from 24th to 18th. I’m very impressed with the progress Anna has made.” Porter is another Longhorn who just keeps improving. “I didn’t know if Megan was going to be in the top 25,” coach Ball said. “I had her ranked 32 with her Twilight Meet performance, but we knew that she has been doing her best running as of late. This year is the first year she ever had earned a varsity medal and she has picked up a total of four medals this season, so she is running with a lot of confidence.” Her coach was hoping her positive strides this season were rewarded with a state-qualifying effort. “Going into the sectional race I was most nervous about her because I felt she

has had the type of season that deserves to go to state, and I didn’t want to see her miss out,” Ball said. “She took matters into her own hands, and started real aggressive running the first half of the race with Anna. In the back half of the race she was able to stay steady, and by the end there was no doubt; she was in the top 25 and going to state.” As with Schouten, Ball credited coach Greenleaf with playing a key role in Porter’s improvement during the season. “Coach Mandy has worked closely with Megan and had identified that Megan has some wasted motion in leaping almost like a gazelle,” he said. “‘Out, not up,’ is a phase that coach Mandy has coined when it comes to Megan, and Megan has worked hard to limit the wasted motion leading to improvements over the course of the season.”

Freshman Maddie Abney and senior Kiki York rounded out the PHS team, placing 72nd, and 75th, respectively. The Longhorns finished seventh as a team with 178 points, missing by one spot qualifying for state as a team for the second straight season. Shadow Ridge with 171 took sixth to earn the final team berth. Despite the disappointment of failing to go to state as a team, coach Ball said the girls have enjoyed a strong fall. “Even though we didn’t get a team in, it’s good that we are building consistency with being invited to the state meet,” he said. “Ever since the AIA had switched to the division and section format, it has been really tough to qualify teams for state. All of our sports teams at PHS have felt that effect. For example Shadow Ridge, the team that ultimately knocked us out, has an enrollment of just

over 1,200 students. There are 51 D3 teams in cross country, as opposed to the 28 that were in Class 3A when I first started coaching here. When the AIA first moved to the format, we ended up going two straight years without anyone running in the state meet. Now, this is the third straight year we have qualified athletes into the state meet, including getting an entire team in last year. Our athletes have had to rise to the challenge of competing in D3. It took a couple of years, but we have responded nicely to the challenge.” The coach and his trio of qualifiers enter Saturday’s race with a goal. “We are looking to try to crack into the top 60 or 70,” Ball said. “That would show improvement over last year for Anna, and would be a great starting point for Kyra, for her first-ever state meet.”

Pressmen THE PAYSON ROUNDUP

These lifelong friends with ink in their blood are a dying breed BY

MICHELE NELSON

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

requires far less art and adjustment. The Roundup still does it the old-fashioned way on a Goss press first built in the 1960s. On this particular day, Earl and Severs struggle to coax the groaning, spinning, ink-stained beast to perform to their perfectionistic pressman palettes. So, they stopped the run, although it means throwing away hundreds of copies when they restart as the rollers get back up to speed. Earl set to work immediately to rip off a flawed plate and reset it. “If I had a delay like this at the Prescott Courier, I would have heard about it,” said Earl. “Payroll and paper are the biggest expense.” But at the Roundup, he’s lord of the pressroom — with authority to make sure the print job meets his exacting standards.

He had learned how to handle tools while working in his father’s auto body shop. With his natural talent, Earl easily picked up the skills to run the press. He spent the next four years working under Wyrick. Meanwhile, Severs met Earl while the two worked in the inserter department. Earl took Severs under his wing and the two forged a lifelong friendship. “He’s my best friend,” said Earl. When Earl started working on the press, Severs moved to the darkroom. Before digital photos, newspapers still used film for photos. “I went into the darkroom stripping the negatives like Bob was doing earlier,” said Severs. Earl ultimately recruited Severs to learn the press under him. Severs worked with Earl for three years until he left to work for a brother in

Hawaii. Unfortunately that did not work out so well, so Severs returned to Prescott and the Courier. “I came back to work on the press again until 2012,” said Severs. That was when Earl called him to come work at the Roundup. How they came to the Roundup

Earl decided to leave the Courier when the publisher refused to allow him to attend a Barney show with is toddler daughter. “I found the Roundup in a want ad in the Prescott Valley paper,” said Earl. His first day was July 31, 1998. “As of November of that year, I was promoted to pressroom manager,” he said. Earl worked for years with Dennis Fendler until Fendler left in 2012 for family reasons.

“That’s when Bob called me,” said Severs. “He wasn’t interested at all,” said Earl. But after a few calls, Severs started thinking about how stressful the job was at the Courier, as he had worked the night shift for years. “I didn’t see many of my friends, only my family,” he said. So Severs took a sharp pencil to paper and figured that although he made more per hour in Prescott, he would end up making the same working more hours in Payson with a whole lot less stress. He called Earl and took the job. Working at the Roundup

Jeepin’ in Rim Country

The Basics – Stayin’ Alive BY

CHUCK JACOBS

SPECIAL FOR THE ROUNDUP

Roosevelt Point on the Rim, after a late-afternoon storm front has moved through. “I can always use stories about four-wheeling,” says editor Pete, “Why don’t you write a column?” Oh, boy, all I need is something else to do. But ... I’m always up for a challenge, and it might actually be kind of fun. So I’ll give it a try and see what happens. Our Rim Country is an excellent place for Jeeps and Jeepin’, and there are a lot of them around. Heck, the next time you’re sitting at the stoplight at Beeline and Highway 260, take a moment and look around. Chances are you’ll see a Jeep or two. Now, most of what I write about will pertain to other kinds of four-wheel drive vehicles as well, and I’m certainly not putting anyone down, but I’m a Jeep guy ... and I freely admit to being a little bit of a Jeep snob as well. One of the things that we are continually told as four-wheelers is to never go out alone. Always have another rig with you in case you break down, get stuck, or have some other kind of unforeseen event. We’ve all heard that many times, but the truth is most of us still go out by ourselves, at least once in a while. It may be because we are only planning on being out for a short time, that all of our regular Jeepin’ buddies are busy, or even that we want to get out in the woods alone for a bit of “me time.” While you can never guarantee that you won’t get stranded out somewhere, there are some simple, common sense things that you can do to keep that nice afternoon

drive from turning into a battle for your very survival. Tell someone where you are going. If you don’t have an exact route or destination planned, at least a general direction will certainly help if you don’t come home when you say you will. Even a note left on your kitchen table is better than nothing. Always carry warm clothes with you ... even in the summer. The No. 1 risk to your life out there is environmental ... too cold or too hot. When the relative humidity is low, which is much of the year around here, the difference between daytime and nighttime temperatures can be as much as 40 degrees. To put that into perspective ... a pleasantly sunny 75degree afternoon can turn into a miserably cold 35-degree night. If it’s also breezy, the wind chill can be down into the 20s. If you managed to fall into a creek or something and get wet, it can be even worse. We humans don’t handle temperature extremes very well, and hypothermia can be a real killer. Take an old gym bag or something similar, put a warm change of clothes in it with a bath towel or two, and keep it in your rig all the time. Remember to include suitable shoes too in case you have to walk out. Putting everything in a plastic bag first will help keep it clean and dustfree. We all know how dusty everything gets in the back of a Jeep. Bring water and food, especially water. We can survive for several days without food, but we have to have water, even more so when it is hot in the summer. There are a lot of out-of-the-way spots inside our vehicles where we can stick a couple bottles of water.

They will keep for a long time, but it is best to change them out every so often so they don’t get stale. Emergency food can be something as simple as a couple packages of beef jerky and trail mix. They will keep for some time without refrigeration, but should also be replaced periodically. Think about shade and shelter. Your vehicle, an inexpensive 8foot-by-10-foot plastic tarp, a handful of bungee cords, and a little imagination can create a simple shade shelter to protect you from sun and rain if you get stranded out somewhere. It doesn’t take up much room in your rig, and should be carried with you all the time. If the tarp is bright orange, or some other high-visibility color, it will make it easier for rescuers to spot you if you are lost or stranded. Have the necessary stuff with you to build and maintain a fire. Again, it can get darn cold out there at night, and a campfire can make it a lot more tolerable. Have more than one type of fire-starter, learn how to get a fire going under wet and cold conditions, and learn how to have a fire without having it get away from you and starting a wildfire. There is obviously much more involved here, and we will cover it more in depth in future articles, but the purpose of our discussion today is basic survival. It seems like every year we hear about someone who goes out for a short ride wearing shorts and a T-shirt, and then something happens and they get stranded. A little simple preparation can keep something like this from turning into a lifethreatening event. Happy Jeepin’ ...

During the last two days of the prescribed burn near Payson last week, the Tonto National Forest crews have treated nearly 200 acres. Prescribed fires are good for the ecosystem — they help put valuable nutrients back into the soil. These low intensity fires cause less damage than accidental fires, which are high intensity. High intensity fires cause the soil to not accept water, which contributes to drought. A 100-year-old tree can survive 25 to 40 low intensity fires, while a high-intensity fire would destroy it. The Roundup met with Gary Roberts, fire prevention officer for the Payson Ranger District last week, on this particular day of the prescribed fire we traveled approximately 20 miles east of Payson near Christopher Creek. On the way up, we passed by signs stating there was a prescribed burn in progress and for motorists to be cautious of smoke across the highway. During this prescribed fire, crews also conducted broadcast burns, which are prescribed burning during cool weather in a controlled area. With a broadcast burn a breeze and a slight wind is needed to help carry the fire along the ground and help to dissipate smoke. Broadcast burns usually last for several days. Crews also burn vegetation piles after the piles have dried out for months. Each pile weighs up to 3,000 pounds, with about 10 to 20 piles per acre. Crews have set 31,000 prescribed fires in the past five years, but only a handful have grown outside their boundaries. These prescribed burns, “Allow us to do fire on our terms, rather than fires started by man or lightning,” said Roberts. Preparation includes an extensive process of prepared burn plans, which require approval from a variety of agencies and officials. Prescribed burns can only take place if all of the variables are right — such as temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and

Workers will generally thin the area before the burn to reduce the risk of losing control of the fire. Part of this program consists of placing shaded fuel breaks, which leave good trees standing. All forest districts in the area help with prescribed burns and broadcast fires, depending on who has the adequate personnel at the time. Forests used to be more parklike and less dense. Around 150 years ago densities ranged from 10 to 50 trees per acre across most of the forest. Today, most areas have 1,000 to 5,000 trees per acre. These thickets of trees suck up more water, contributing to the effects of a near-recordbreaking drought. As a result, when a fire does start, it rages out of control. This not only threatens forest communities with destruction, it sterilizes the soil and makes it less able to absorb water in the next heavy rain. Decades ago the public often opposed prescribed burns because they thought it would

destroy the forest, said Roberts. However, years of education have helped most people understand that the controlled burns keep the forest healthy. Since 2000, Tonto National Forest Service has been trying to “put fire back into the landscape — what lightning used to do,” said Roberts. This is when the Fuels Reduction Program came into play. A host of Forest Service officials launched the program in 2001, including Bob Ortland, Ed Paul, Don Nunley, Mark Empey and Jeremy Plain. Top-level people have visited them from Washington, D.C. “We make sure we always have our ducks lined up so if funding comes in we’re prepared to start work the same week,” said Roberts. So far the program has treated 46,400 acres at a steep cost of $16 million. The Payson Ranger District’s success in doing all the needed preliminary environmental work has enabled it to consistently be awarded leftover, national thinning and forest health funds. “We do have a reputation that we’ll get things done here,” said Roberts.

PHOENIX – Fewer California condors were treated for lead poisoning over a one-year period ending in August, something a wildlife official said may have to

do with more hunters in Arizona and particularly Utah taking steps to keep lead out of the environment. Thirteen condors were treated for lead poisoning from Sept. 1, 2013, through Aug. 31, 2014, down

Arizona Game and Fish Department, said she’s cautiously optimistic that the decline in lead poisonings shows that Utah’s program is beginning to pay dividends. “We can’t attribute it to any one factor,” she said. “One year does not make it a trend, but we’re hoping that the Utah program is one of the factors.” Lambert said participation in Arizona’s program has grown. “We have between 80 and 90 percent of hunters participating in any given year,” she said. California has banned lead ammunition in the condors’ range there, and a state law will eliminate hunting with lead ammunition statewide in by 2019. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service banned lead shot for hunting waterfowl in 1991 because the pellets poisoned birds that feed in streams and lakes. California condors were all but extinct by the mid-1980s, and the

remaining 22 wild condors were captured and put into a captive breeding program in 1987. The condors were reintroduced in California as an endangered population in 1992 and in Arizona as a designated nonessential experiment in 1996. At last count, there were 75 in Arizona and Utah. One of the most prominent threats to the condors has been the birds’ susceptibility to lead poisoning as they scavenge gut piles left by big-game hunters. “Our main goal is a full recovery for the condors,” Lambert said. “And these bullets are a big obstacle.” Lambert said engaging hunters is a more effective strategy than banning lead ammunition. “So many people don’t give the hunters credit for entering the program voluntarily,” she said. “Hunters are, in many ways, the original conservationists.”

Donnie Severs came to work for the Roundup in 2012 after receiving a call from his lifelong friend, Bob Earl.

The pressmen From page 1C San Carlos. Earl said the Roundup is the greatest place he has ever worked. The two men watch each other’s backs to create the best product possible. “He checks my work and I check his,” said Earl of Severs. The two have an easy banter when not focused on the press churning out papers. The most difficult part of the job for Earl comes once the monster starts humming. “My biggest pet peeve is when people slam the door (when the press starts),” said Earl, since it causes a gut-wrenching moment of panic that something has happened in the spinning heart of the machine.

Both he and Severs said they must listen to every little noise the press makes to guarantee nothing is amiss. “Any loud sound could be catastrophic,” said Earl. If the press has a mechanical problem that keeps the papers from printing, the company can’t make money. “The less waste, the more we save,” said Earl. “This is like brain surgery — there are so many little tasks before you start.” At that point, Earl had the new plate lined up and the paper started flowing again. It took not more than 15 minutes to finish the run for the day. And every line lined up, every color popped. It was a good day for the pressmen of the Roundup.

Head pressman Bob Earl began working at the Roundup on July 31, 1998 and says it’s the greatest place he’s ever worked.
