Tim Roemer served in the Marines from 1964 until 1968, seeing tough action in Vietnam during a 14-month stint in an artillery unit. That service meant so much to him that he came all the way from Louisiana to celebrate the 240th birthday of the Marine Corps with the Rim Country Marine Corps League.
Veterans Day celebrations by

roundup staff reporter
Everyone knows someone who has served or is serving in the U.S. military. So everyone in the Rim Country is encouraged to participate in a celebration of those veterans and active duty personnel and their families at a ceremony for Veterans Day. Payson’s Veterans Day 2015 program is at the Payson High School Auditorium at 11 a.m., Wednesday, Nov. 11. The theme is: Our American Veterans ... they earned our respect and deserve our unwavering support. The program will include musical tributes to the services, addresses by the Payson mayor and police chief, presentations by the Payson Choral Society and others. After the program, Rim Country Classic Auto Club members will take a selected number of veterans to lunch, escorted by members of the Vietnam Legacy Motorcycle Club.
Marines party on 240th birthday Some 200 people from across the country gathered at the Mazatzal Hotel & Casino Saturday to celebrate the Marine Corps birthday — a tradition as old as the nation. Roemer said every year on Nov. 10 he celebrates the Marine Corps birthday, no matter what else he’s doing. Even in Vietnam, his artillery unit paused to eat a piece of cake — not easy in the jungle. As Roemer put it, “I’ve never been to hell, but it was close.” Roemer said he and his buddies celebrated the Marine birthday in Vietnam with a Spam sandwich, a cup of coffee and a piece cake the cook threw together because, well, it’s tradition. “We ate birthday cake in shifts,” he said. “Two awake and one man asleep, we’d send someone to get us a piece.” Roemer added, “We all learned the birthdate of the Corps in basic training, Nov. 10, 1775 — in Tun Tavern in Philadelphia,” he said with a gleam in his eye. “It’s the only service ever formed in a bar and we’re proud of it.” He laughed, but his pride in the Corps and his service clearly showed as he told the story. The event on Saturday, Nov. 7 reflected the same pride and determination to celebrate the birth of the all-volunteer Marine Corps. Colonel Bill Sahno emceed the event attended

An enthusiastic crowd of about 50 Pine Strawberry residents gathered Saturday in the cultural hall to mull over the future of the financially strapped Pine Strawberry Fuel Reduction committee’s brush pickup program. No firm decision was made on how to continue the pickups after more than an hour of discussion and debate. But people offered many suggestions on ways to raise the estimated $63,500 needed to continue the pickup program in 2016. The ideas included assessing every resident in the two towns a $25 or $30 pickup fee, more volunteer help, turning the program over to a private contractor, making public pleas for more donations, imposing a Firewise tax on local properties and expanding fundraisers such as the benefit dinners held the past two years at the StrawBeary Bear Restaurant. The consensus of the PSFR committee members
75 CENTS
Pine Strawberry Fuel Reduction Committee seeking a way to continue seemed to reach during the meeting was, “we’d like to continue if we can,” but it’s going to take a Herculean effort to overcome the challenges of hosting a third consecutive pickup program. Among those challenges, which PSFR has not faced previously, was paying Gila County $17,250 to dump collected brush, needles and leaves at the Buckhead Mesa Landfill. The past two years, the dump fees have been waived, but Gila County Supervisor Tommie Martin and others have told committee members to not expect a fee waiver in 2016. PSFR’s financial shortcomings date back to last spring when the truck and trailer used in pickups needed extensive mechanical repairs. Although the truck is owned by Pine Strawberry Fire, the department could not come up with the money needed for repairs and the committee paid the bill. Committee member Darwin Huber offered a PowerPoint presentation that showed in 2015, PSFR

Broken pot promises Few donations despite $2 million in sales by

Despite the protest of the mayor, the Payson Town Council last week went ahead and allowed the medical marijuana dispensary to expand its hours of operation. Uncle Herbs Health Center petitioned the town to let it stay open longer, saying it wanted to reach working customers and weekend travelers. The dispensary off North Tonto Street is currently open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., its hours set under a town code before the dispensary even opened several years ago. Because the town decides where and when a dispensary can operate, Uncle Herbs could not stay open later despite many patients’ requests. On Thursday, after two public hearings, the council voted 4 to 2 to let Uncle Herbs operate between 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week. Mayor Kenny Evans voted against the amendment “out of protest” because Uncle Herbs had not
fulfilled promises to give the town its net profits to distribute throughout the town. So far, the town has received roughly $6,000 from the dispensary even though the dispensary reported sales in 2014 of $2 million. At the first public reading on this issue, Councilor Su Connell also said she was concerned with extending the dispensary’s hours and would find it difficult to support because the dispensary had not fulfilled promises it made the town. Connell was absent from Thursday’s council meeting. Besides Evans, Vice Mayor Michael Hughes voted no. Andrew Provencio, with Uncle Herbs, told the council in 2012 that as a not-for-profit as much as 75 percent of excess revenue would stay within the town. The partners running the medical marijuana dispensary have since become embroiled in a nasty legal dispute about spending and purchases.

See our ad and upcoming events on page 6B
Monday’s sunny skies today should give way to a winter storm, with several inches of snow on the Mogollon Rim, according to the National Weather Service in Flagstaff. In Flagstaff, forecasters expect perhaps four inches of snow today, on top of about five inches last week. With crews making snow and the help of Mother Nature, Arizona Snowbowl is set to
open Nov. 20. In Show Low, Sunrise Park Resort received more than a foot of snow last week, but has not announced when it will open. The Weather Service says a cold front moving through central California will hit northern Arizona Tuesday afternoon, bringing with it chilly temperatures. Payson’s high will be around 50 with a 60 percent chance for showers. The odds of rain will peak between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. Tuesday. Snow levels in Coconino County will be above 5,000 feet with snowfall totals between a trace
and two inches. Elevations above 7,500 feet should see between two and four inches, said Tony Merriman, warning coordination meteorologist with the National Weather Service Flagstaff. Tuesday’s storm should pass through quickly, with warmer, sunnier weather returning Wednesday and into the weekend. Expect highs to return to the low 60s by Friday. So far for the year, Payson has received 19.07 inches of rain. August proved the wettest month with 2.45 inches according to weather.astro50.com.

GENERAL & HANDYMAN SERVICES
From page 1A by 200 people, about a third of them Marines. As always, tradition required hosting a young and old Marine. The newest Marine, PFC Montez had just joined in 2014, while the oldest Marine, Jack Day, served during World War II. Day had an impressive resumé with the Marines that spanned some of the toughest battles in the Pacific. Day volunteered when he was only 17 and trained as a parachuter. He saw action at Bougainville and Iwo Jima receiving the Silver Star and Purple Heart. The battle to take the island of Bougainville near New Zealand from the Japanese resulted in 727 American and 516 Australian dead and an estimated 21,500 Japanese dead. The fierce battle for Iwo Jima cost some 6,821 Americans killed and 19,217 wounded. The Japanese deaths reached an estimated 18,000 in some of the most grueling fighting of the whole war. Day also served during the occupation of Japan leaving the service of the Marines in 1945 only to join the Air Force. He retired from all service in 1968. Most impressive of all, however, Day and his wife just celebrated their 71st wedding anniversary. The two met when Day went through basic training. The couple have lived in Tonto Basin for 40 years and celebrate the Marine Corps birthday each year. The guest speaker at the event, Col. Wanda Wright, USAF (Ret.), now serves as director for the Arizona Department of Veterans’ Services. She spoke of the new services she has arranged for Rim Country veterans from more advocates to new cemeteries and homes for ill vets. After all the speeches and honors, the moment arrived to cut the cake. Col. Sahno did so with a ceremonial sword. At the table, Roemer had just finished his apple turnover dessert, along with all the other attendees. There was not much room for more, but every Marine has to have birthday cake to celebrate Nov. 10, 1775.

Pine brush-hauling effort in danger From page 1A collected $39,334 and paid out $55,777 for repairs and pickup costs, a deficit of $17,250. The year prior, donations were $54,086 and pickup costs were $45,086 — a surplus of $8,627. Other challenges discussed included the lack of volunteers to help bag pickups, what effect the expected El Niño will have on next summer’s brush amounts and the reliability of the truck and trailer the committee uses. Fire Chief Gary Morris reiterated the importance of the pickups in protecting the two mountain hamlets from a catastrophic wildfire. If brush is not thinned, collected and dumped, he said, firebrands from wildfires miles away could travel into the two towns and ignite house fires. Discussion also centered on enforcing new and stricter fire

Pine residents Saturday gathered to discuss the dire financial difficulties of a Firewise brush-hauling effort that has served as a volunteer model for the whole region. codes. Fire officials would enforce the codes by “red tagging” those homes and properties not in
compliance and giving property owners a deadline to meet the standards. Brush truck driver Paul Paul
told the audience he has noticed Pine and Strawberry residents have already started stacking brush for pickup up next summer. “That creates a fire hazard,” Paul said warning the audience to wait until at least the spring to pile brush for pickup, if there is one. Retired P/S Fire Captain Mike Brandt asked committee and audience members to remember “that there is much more to do than brush pickup.” In particular, he said crews need to thin a natural canyon from Arrowhead Estates near the Tonto Natural Bridge, which leads to Bradshaw Drive in south Pine. The canyon could easily carry brush fires straight into town. Due to the upcoming Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays PSFR will not hold any further community meetings until January.

We’ve been short-changing our schools
• Nov. 10, 1775: During the American Revolution, the Continental Congress passes a resolution that “two Battalions of Marines be raised” for service as landing forces for the Continental Navy. The date is now observed as the birthdate of the United States Marine Corps. • Nov. 12, 1954: Ellis Island, the gateway to America, shuts its doors after processing more than 12 million immigrants since opening in 1892. Today, an estimated 40 percent of all Americans can trace their roots through Ellis Island, located in New York Harbor. • Nov. 8, 1966: Edward W. Brooke of Massachusetts became the first AfricanAmerican elected to the U.S. Senate by popular vote. • Nov. 11, 1978: On the Georgia set of “The Dukes of Hazzard,” a stuntman launches the iconic 1969 Dodge Charger named the General Lee off a makeshift dirt ramp and over a police car. More than 300 different General Lees were used in the CBS TV series. • Nov. 9, 1989: East German officials open the Berlin Wall, allowing travel from East to West Berlin. The following day, celebrating Germans began to tear down the wall, the defining symbol of the Cold War.

I am proud of our schools in Arizona. A number of our high schools are consistently ranked near the top of U.S. studies. We were one of the first states to create charter schools and our Empowerment Scholarship Accounts allow parents to find the best education option for their children. These two reforms are models being emulated throughout the country. I personally have toured and seen the excellent achievement of our students and teachers throughout my district. Friday, Oct. 30, the Legislature passed and the governor signed an increase of $3.5 billion over the next 10 years to our schools. This will bring new money into our K-12 school system, if voters approve the plan in a special election to be held May 17, 2016. Part of the funding will come from a new percentage level, 6.9 percent, distributed to the State Schools Fund from the Permanent Land Endowment Trust Funds (PLETF). The Arizona Constitution determines the portion of investment earnings the treasurer must distribute annually to each beneficiary. Right now annual distributions are set at 2.5 percent of the average monthly market valuation of the PLETF from the preceding five years. The voters will be asked to approve the increase above 2.5 percent in the May election. Governor Ducey was state treasurer before being elected governor, so he understands this trust fund and how it functions. In 2012 he developed Proposition 118, to move to a fixed rate of 2.5 percent, instead of a fluctuating rate used at the time. Voters approved that proposal. Three years later, the governor proposed to increase that amount to 6.9 percent, and the Legislature agreed. We spent much time in debate and talking to lawyers and staff about the ramifications of the increased percentage. I am convinced that we have been short-changing our schools all these years. The PLETF is now valued at $5 billion and the consensus of those who voted yes is that we can safely pay this out to our schools and protect the principle of the fund. Triggers are placed within the law in case we have another major economic downturn. It would require the Directors of the Office of Strategic Planning and Budgeting (OSPB) and the Joint Legislative Budget Committee (JLBC) to jointly notify the governor, the president of the Senate and speaker of the house that a reduction to the distribution is necessary to preserve the safety of the capital in the PLETF, if the value of the PLETF has decreased. At that point we would return to the 2.5 percent. This was a complicated issue that took hundreds of hours of work by all concerned, but I am confident that we have made a very good decision in increasing the payout from the State Schools Trust Fund. None of this will increase taxes for our citizens and is being done within the capacity of what we have now. I wish to thank the Arizona taxpayer who is willing to give their hard-earned money to better the life of children through our education system in Arizona.

Roundup commits injustice Editor: I have always appreciated the Payson Roundup’s factual and seemingly impartial news reporting. I was shocked to see the headline, and then read Ms. Bechman’s overly biased article about the recent trial involving Clay Sopeland. Like every other American, Mr. Sopeland has civil rights, and enjoys those rights afforded to him by law. For the staff reporter to opine that there was “gambling” or any kind of “mistake” was far from the truth, unwarranted, and inexcusably poor reporting. It is reprehensible to publicly spread untruths in a newspaper article, a severe injustice to Mr. Sopeland, a discredit to the Roundup, and a disservice to the readers who rely on their local newspaper for facts and truths. Mr. Sopeland was found not guilty of theft. He was found not guilty of trafficking. He was not convicted of “fraud” as the article title erroneously states. The jury verdict was that Mr. Sopeland was guilty of “fraudulent schemes and artifices.” The “big mistake” here was not anything to do with Mr. Sopeland or his trial. It was a big mistake for the staff reporter to take such dramatic license with the facts, to write such untruths, and an even bigger mistake for the Roundup to publish such a pathetic rendition of Mr. Sopeland’s trial. Dave Kratz Editor’s note: Ms. Bechman did not write the headline — that was me. The article made the point that Mr. Sopeland took a chance on going to trial instead of taking the plea deal, convinced he was innocent and the jury would agree. This seems like an accurate summary of what happened. The point seemed worth making to underscore the critical role plea bargaining plays in the criminal justice system. We also reported the innocent verdicts. The whole incident, trial included, seemed to me like a tragedy, given Mr. Sopeland’s role in the community. I’m not sure I grasp the distinction between “fraud” and “fraudulent schemes and artifices,” which is the only error of fact Mr. Kratz mentions. But on the whole, Mr. Kratz objections to our coverage should be laid at my doorstep, not Ms. Bechman’s.
America changes course Editor: Well, it’s happening right before our eyes. We are witnessing the time when the American Dream changed course. Perhaps you (I’ll be too old) can tell your grandchildren about the grand nation once envisioned by some extraordinary visionaries which actually flourished and achieved great things for a time. Then, mostly because of apathy among the people it had most served, the nation began to implode and devour itself in a rage to create a new nation — one which admitted only a chosen few like-minded warriors. To be accepted by this cabal, one had to denounce diversity and empathy and long-standing academic achievements and vow to only serve its adherents. A high place was reserved for white, evangelical zealots of one particular faith whose narrow, rote vision only allowed for simplistic fealty, and wars against comprehensive education. Raw emotion took the place of careful examination and pragmatic thinking. It was as if a great many people simply could not live in a complex society and were determined to return to severe control by
closed-minded monarchs or clergy. The very reason the first settlers came to this country was to be free of dogmatic rule by either the church or the king — a vision which seems to have been lost. How could a majority of enlightened progressive citizens allow this to overcome centuries of struggle toward “liberty and justice for all”? All it took was something called apathy — a somnambulant attitude toward keeping the flame of dignity and hope lit for all. A full belly no longer yearns for a fine meal, and Democrats don’t vote.

Myrtle’s 100th birthday Editor: What a wonderful celebration with more than 100 people joining in to help celebrate. Mom asked for donations instead of cards, and we were able to give $400 to the PHS baseball program in memory of Jerry Daniels, longtime teacher and coach at PHS. Our hope is that more boys can now play ball, and needed equipment can be purchased. Thanks to the Elks, who offered their facilities including, the kitchen, free of charge; to the Don Gibson Band, who volunteered to play, and then stayed through the full five hours; to the guest artists that stepped in and joined the entertainment; to those who took pictures and gave them to us; and to our friends and family that took the time to make it a wonderful, festive day decorating the club and preparing the delicious food. We appreciate you all. Myrtle Warter family
Half a fence is useless Editor: As a homeowner in Chaparral Pines, I have no objection to having a fence surrounding the property. A complete fence. Since it is highly unlikely that a complete fence will be built, I find it a total waste of members’ money. Had I decided to build a “security/ elk/wildlife” fence for tens of thousands of dollars and then announced that it would be 80 to 87 percent complete when finished, not only would I expect to be laughed out of the county, but out of the state. I am all for fiduciary responsibility and accountability, but fail to see where either of these practices are in place on a project that will never be completed. Dolores Dailey
Educational funding Editor: While Governor Ducey and the Republican dominated Legislature are to be applauded for finally coming around to the realization that starving our public schools of needed financial support isn’t good for our students, our economy, our reputation, or our entire state, there are some worrisome aspects to this “miracle or myth deal” that took place recently that needs to be examined. To wit: This agreement only settles the Proposition 300 lawsuit brought against the state by educational organizations. The Legislature still didn’t abide by the voters’ wishes and a judge’s ruling by not fully funding the formula we voters approved via Prop. 300. This “deal” was hammered out behind closed doors with only GOP members having input. Our

students aren’t Democrats or Repub licans and their futures deserve and need to be debated in the light of day with all parties having a voice in the final outcome. This “deal” doesn’t do much good for the students in school year 2015-16. This “deal” still must be approved by the voters in May of 2016. The State Land Trust Fund was always intended to supplement school funding not to supplant it. Adequately and fairly funding our Arizona public educational system seems to be a marathon ordeal, and while this most recent success is welcome news, we’re only at milepost 13 in this endless rate to cease underfunding our schools, students and staff. Voters need to keep our lawmakers feet to the fire (including all three of our Rim Country legislators) so that they fully understand that funding education isn’t an expense, but rather an investment. Richard K. Meszar, Ed.D.
Leftists vicious, obscene, angry Editor: Two letter writers appearing in the Nov. 3 edition of the Roundup excoriated previous letter writer Andrew McKinney for describing an encounter with a hateful young man on the streets of Payson. McKinney was holding a Republican sign in the exercise of his First Amendment right, and he described the man “with his face distorted in rage, spewing filthy words and obscene gestures ...” and asked, “is this just another example of the left’s contempt for the very idea of free speech practiced by any but themselves?” Yes, it is. As one who spends a great deal of time on far-left political forums, especially those related to their obsession with gun control, upon which I politely and respectfully challenge the accuracy and wisdom of their claims and agendas with hard facts and common sense, I can confirm that leftists are the most vicious, obscene, angriest, most raged-filled individuals I have ever debated. They almost never offer any facts or arguments in opposition to the thesis I offer, preferring instead to address me in a pejorative and derisive manner, asking questions of the “when did you stop beating your wife” variety, and when that doesn’t elicit a flame war from me, they resort to direct insults. Many of their postings on their boards are physically threatening to Republicans, to gun owners, and to organizations gun owners belong to, expressing desire to see all their opposition “murdered with their own guns” and their children murdered, and so forth. When the forum belongs to their supporters they almost invariably block me from participating after a day or so and then spend days insulting me without opposition. Invariably, if anyone they have insulted so viciously replies in kind, they get all offended as these letter writers did today. Often they complain to the management in an effort to get the offender blocked so their ideas are the only ones in the marketplace of ideas. The letter writers today have nothing to complain about. Andy McKinney handled himself very well in that confrontation by not responding in kind. Leftists would just love to get into someone’s face like that and then pick themselves up off the ground with a bloody nose and go see a lawyer. No, in my experience the only time leftists are all sweetness and light is when they are complaining about someone who gave them as good as they dished out. Donald Cline

Payson council won’t chicken out by
Alexis Bechman
roundup staff reporter
You can finally stop hiding those eggs. Last week, the Payson Town Council approved an ordinance that lets residents keep backyard chickens. It is now legal to keep to 10 hens
on your property, regardless of size, so long as you have a hen house for them to roost in at night and a fenced area to keep them in during the day. If you live in a homeowner’s association that bars chickens, the more restrictive HOA rules still trump the town code. Formerly, the town’s ordinance
allowed backyard hens only on lots larger than one acre. Under the new code, anyone with a yard can keep chickens so long as they have a minimum of 25-foot setback from the adjacent property. Councilor Richard Croy asked why town staff had settled on 10 hens. He felt four hens should be
enough. Mayor Kenny Evans suggested the council allow for six hens. Sheila DeSchaaf, with community development, said staff had looked at hen ordinances in other communities, which allowed between four and 20 chickens. Staff picked a number in the middle and went with 10.
New rule for RV guests spurs debate by
Alexis Bechman
roundup staff reporter
Unable to come to an agreement on the use of recreational vehicles to house guests and caretakers, the Payson Town Council last week punted on the issue. Town staff had proposed allowing residents to house friends and family temporarily in RVs for up to 90 days and in-home care professionals up to a year for medical reasons. The town currently won’t let anyone stay in an RV parked on residential property. Several people spoke out against the change. One couple worried people will dump waste, run generators at all hours and generally cause a nuisance. Residents also raised questions about enforcement, especially on the weekends when most visitors come. BIRD WATCHING ACROSS 1 Singer Bocelli 7 Almond-flavored liqueurs 16 Backyard building 20 Talking amorously 21 Picked up while hitchhiking, say 22 Island off Scotland 23 1969 Liza Minnelli film 25 Scrawny 26 Locality 27 — -TASS (news agency) 28 Nation whose capital is Abuja 30 1975 Robert Redford film 37 Highway hauler 38 Málaga Mrs. 39 Boozehound 40 “C’— la vie!” 43 Actress Sofer 45 Cake coating 47 Asia’s largest desert 51 1997 Helena Bonham Carter film 57 Con’s place 58 Like an angel’s head 59 Grammy nominee Zadora 60 Iraq neighbor 61 Bugling animal 62 Foil’s heavier cousin 63 Common jazz chords 66 Suffix with hotel or front 67 Gore and Franken 68 Cong. member 69 2001 Josh Hartnett film 73 Columnist Hentoff 74 “Sands of — Jima” 75 Tore on foot 76 Dined at a diner 77 Meat-stamping org. 78 Baden article 79 Bar assoc. members ANSWER TO PREVIOUS PUZZLE
Town staff said the code enforcement officer would enforce the new code. The town has discussed the use of RVs for some time now. After each discussion, town staff has added more restrictions. Generators have raised concerns repeatedly. The council has discussed limiting use between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m.; prohibiting their use if the neighbors can hear them at all and banning any use of generators in favor of just plugging the RV into an outlet in the house. The new ordinance would require RV owners to dump any wastewater at an appropriate dump site or by a licensed septic hauler. Councilor Richard Croy said with all of the hotels, campgrounds and RV facilities in town, he didn’t understand why the town should let residents use RVs on their property.

To protect “the integrity of neighborhoods” and protect the rights of the “guy next door” Croy said he was against the use of RVs. The council discussed adding a sunset clause to the resolution
to see how it is working out and if it does not, remove it. Instead of taking a vote, the council told staff to again revise the ordinance and bring it back at a future council meeting for approval.

Outpatient therapy is not just for seniors Physical, occupational and speech therapy expands at RCH by
Carol Baxter
special for rim country health
The outpatient therapy department at Rim Country Health (RCH) has a dynamic team of a dozen specialists to help you achieve your desired functional level after an accident or injury. Experiencing nerve pain from surgery? Fell and broke a bone? Sprained an ankle hiking the Mogollon Rim or took the winning jump shot, but landed wrong? Suffer from TMJ? If your physician determines that you require physical (PT), occupational (OT), or speech therapy, RCH’s highly-trained staff is ready to be an integral part of your recovery process. “We treat from the top of your head to the tip of your toes,” said Tracy Timmer, director of therapy. “Myofascial release has become an especially important component for our OT and PT, departments. We have therapists on both sides who are already certified.” The goal of myofascial therapy is to slowly stretch and loosen the fascia (connective tissues between your skeleton and muscles) so you can move freely and without pain. This healing modality is done with the patient loosely clothed. Speech therapist Don Koehnlein will become certified in myofascial release specifically for the throat in December. He is excited to be able to add this skill to the methods he employs to, for example, move a patient from having difficulty speaking to clarity, or from feeding tube to normal foods. PT and OT can also be effective treatments to manage musculoskeletal conditions such as arthritis and back pain, two of the leading causes of disability in the U.S. The CDC reports that 7.3 percent of persons age 18 to 44 report doctor-diagnosed arthritis, while in the 45 to 65 age bracket that percentage quadruples.
“Our outpatient therapy manager, Monica Morales, is young yet brings an innovative style to her treatment plans,” Timmer said. “She is all about her patients achieving the best results they possibly can.” Occupational therapy hones in the activities you do in your daily life such as tying your shoes or feeding your pet. “If you can’t do them, our therapists give you compensatory strategies or narrow in on problem to fix it,” Timmer said. Physical therapy concentrates on your lower body with things such as walking and gait. A therapist can show a patient what they can do to get better and act as a motivator, but it is the patient who must ultimately do the work. “Half of the therapy and healing process is the patient going home and doing the exercise plan we design to complement each patient’s two to three times per week treatment regimen,” Morales said. Goals are not achieved without some pain, however, the therapists have a variety of ways they may help the healing process and decrease pain including a diathermy machine. Currently RCH has one private and one semi private therapy room, but in the near future will have two private therapy rooms for patient comfort. The gym where some patients take PT has recently expanded from one therapy bed to being able to treat up to five patients. There are therapy balls, light weights, stretching bands, a recumbent stepper, and an industrial quality treadmill that can monitor a number of vital signs and has many range of training settings the therapist can tailor to each patient. Rim Country Health’s specialists bring a synergy to the hands-on care they provide because they stay abreast of therapeutic techniques, cross-train in adjunct healing modalities, and work together for the benefit of each patient. They are here for you! Check with your doctor to determine if outpatient PT, OT or speech therapy is right for your healing process and call Rim Country Health at 928-4741120 to schedule a consultation.
Get ready, get set, (re)enroll in Health Insurance Marketplace by Diane E. Brown and Allen Gjersvig Yes, it is that time of year again. Open enrollment in the Health Insurance Marketplace just began which means it is time for Arizonans to “get ready, get set and (re)enroll.” Here’s what we recommend: Get ready: Know your health insurance options and rights. So You Need Health Insurance. Now What? Available at arizonapirgedfund.org/healthinsurance101 — cuts through rhetoric and political noise and provides a list of health insurance options and rights as well as useful health insurance terminology. Get set: To enroll or re-enroll in health insurance you will need to answer a few questions. Among the most helpful items to prepare: pull together your medical and financial information from the last year. If you prefer to retain your doctor or hospital, find out what plan(s) they are associated with for the upcoming year. Get (re)enrolled: Whether you are uninsured or have coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace, it is time to enroll or re-enroll. If you choose to undergo the process yourself, you will notice Healthcare.gov has improved. Most notable: streamlined navigation and a new “Out of Pocket” expense feature that helps consumers better estimate the “full” cost of health insurance including premiums, co-pays and deductibles. If you are like most people we encounter, you
cent of shoppers last year could have purchased a plan for $100 or less per month. The Cover Arizona coalition, comprised of over 900 community and statewide organizations is spearheaded by St. Luke’s Health Initiatives. The coalition educates and assists Arizonans applying for coverage, across the state at more than 500 locations, in at least 30 languages, including nights and weekends. Arizonans can schedule a free in-person appointment to enroll through the Health Insurance Marketplace or AHCCCS, Arizona’s Medicaid program, at coveraz.org/connector or by calling 844-790-4946 (English and Spanish). As you get ready and get set to (re)enroll, it is important to remember the Health Insurance Marketplace offers private, competitive insurance. Plans in the Health Insurance Marketplace change each year so it only makes sense to shop just as you do with other products in the “marketplace.” About the authors
wouldn’t mind a bit of help navigating the various health insurance plans that exist before you make your decision. The good news is that free certified and licensed in-person help is available.

Final chance for Medicare open enrollment help Medicare’s annual open enrollment is taking place now through Monday, Dec. 7. Medicare members are encouraged to review their health and prescription drug coverage, including changes in costs, coverage and benefits that will take effect on Jan. 1, 2016. The Pinal-Gila Council for Senior Citizens is part of the Arizona State Health Insurance Assistance (SHIP) Program and will have its counselors available to provide screening, plan comparisons and application assistance of “Extra Help” programs, such as the Medicare Savings Program-QMB, SLMB, QI1 and LIS-Part D prescription out-of-pocket costs. SHIP counselors are not insurance agents, they do not sell or recommend or endorse any particular insurance product or company. The SHIP provides free, objective information and assistance. When seeing a counselor at one of the following Rim Country visits, bring a list of your (or the Medicare member’s) prescriptions and Medicare ID card information. SHIP counselors are in the Rim Country on one more date: Friday, Nov. 13, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., at The Center, 514 W. Main St. For additional information or to make an appointment, contact the Pinal-Gila Council for Senior Citizens at 928-474-3779, 520-836-2758 or 1-800-2939393. The Center has an expert on hand to help with both Medicare and Social Security questions. It also hosts a legal adviser from the PGCSC on a regular basis.

preserve meats. The nitrates used to color processed meats and discourage bacterial growth create N-nitroso compounds — cancer-causing combos that have caused cancer in animals. As for red meat, it has heme iron, which stimulates N-nitroso compounds in the gut as it is digested. Even methods used to cook red meat, such as grilling, frying or broiling, can create cancer-causing chemicals. That charring on the outside of the meat con-
tains those PAHs as well as heterocyclic amines (HCAs). “OK, well, this all sounds good,” Bear would say, “but did the test subjects in the research eat junk food as well? Did they smoke? Were they obese? Did they just sit around all day and avoid exercise?” The WHO didn’t bring any of that up, yet nutritionists do all the time. What’s clear is that being over weight, living a sedentary lifestyle, and avoiding all fruits and vegetables will
lead to cancer. Nutritionists suggest limiting red meat intake to 18 ounces of cooked red meat a week and avoid processed meats. Please note — red meat has lots more protein, iron, zinc and vitamin B-12 than other foods. These experts also suggested substituting fowl, fish and legumes to get enough protein. As for my eat-only-meat-friend, ironically Bear didn’t die from cancer. He died in a car crash. Moral of the story? Avoid driving.
Wedding at Rim Country Health Special nuptials at care center show love knows no bounds Resplendent in her white gown, her dark brown hair adorned with a crown, Carolyn Leatherwood’s eyes shone bright as her father walked her down the aisle to her waiting groom, Chuck Holloway. Chuck and Carolyn pledged to love and cherish one another as daughters Kysisa and Dortha stood next to them. The couple wed Friday, Nov. 6, 2015 in Payson at Rim Country Health surrounded by friends and family. “He’s my best friend,” Carolyn said in an interview the day before
the wedding. The couple met online, but she turned him down the first time he asked her out. Chuck said, “She liked my redneck look.” When he called to ask her out a second time, she said yes. That was 10 years ago and they have stuck by each other even when life became difficult and Carolyn needed advanced care. Chuck works and the girls are both in school, but they make the fourhour round-trip drive every chance they get. When the staff heard that the couple wanted to, as Chuck put it, “make it official,” they wanted to help make the day amazing. “Carolyn is part of our Rim Country Health family. We all chipped in to make Carolyn’s day special,” said
Social Services Director Christine Zuber. “One of the staff bought her dress and had it altered to fit and brought in matching pink outfits for Carolyn and Chuck’s young daughters,” Zuber said. Touched by the family’s loyalty and love, the staff also ordered a wedding cake, but when it accidentally fell, Safeway stepped in and saved the day with cake and flowers. Some people might think that RCH might be an unusual place for wedding bells to ring, and but love knows no bounds.
Carolyn Leatherwood and Chuck Holloway were married at Rim Country Health Friday afternoon, Nov. 6, 2015.

The much ballyhooed settlement of the school inflation funding lawsuit represents “a good first step, but doesn’t solve the problem of public school funding in Arizona,” Payson Unified School District Superintendent Greg Wyman told the Payson Rotary Club last week. If voters approve the settlement, it would give Payson roughly $500,000 annually, but only about $380,000 of that is new money. That would provide a roughly 4 percent pay raise for the district’s employees, which would then represent a “recurring expense” for the balance of the 10-year agreement. Moreover, 60 percent of that money will come from the state land trust — which the law requires the Arizona Legislature to give to the schools anyway. To add insult to injury, the money represents only about 70 percent of the inflation adjustment the state illegally withheld from school districts — in defiance of a voter-approved initiative, according to several court rulings. “In essence, what they said is, ‘We’ll settle at 70 percent, but let me borrow your debit card and take 60 percent out of your savings account to pay you what we never paid in the first place,’” said Wyman. Nonetheless, the coalition of school districts that sued the district to force payment of the withheld inflation money agreed to the deal, negotiated in about three weeks of face-to-face meetings mediated by Gov. Doug Ducey, after four years in courts. The three weeks of meetings represented the first direct conversations involving both legislative and school leaders. The settlement approved by the Legislature and up for a vote
School inflation settlement only enough for 4 percent raise in May would give schools roughly $400 million annually, forgive back payment of about $1 billion and give the state far more flexibility in making the inflation payments in the future by loosening the rules included in the original ballot measure approved by the voters in 2000. “Anytime you’re in negotiations, there’s a compromise, and I understand that,” said Wyman, “but I want to make sure that people understand this will move us all the way from 50th in per-student funding to 49th.” He objected to comments by some state legislators who said the 10-year, $3.5 billion total in the settlement represents so much money that educators are being greedy to criticize the deal. “Don’t get confused by the big numbers — that’s $3.5 billion over 10 years — but it’s less than $400 million per year. With 1.2 million students in the state, that’s not a lot of money per student. I don’t believe public education is greedy — I just believe we haven’t started to solve the problem when you pay us 70 percent of what you already owe us — so let’s go ahead and solve the problem.” Gov. Ducey originally proposed a temporary increase in money distributed from the $5.2 billion state land trust as a way to get new money to the public schools, in response to repeated national rankings that showed per-student spending in Arizona about 40 percent below the national average. However, after negotiations intended to settle the long-running inflation funding lawsuit broke down, the governor hosted a new round of settlement talks.
He pressed for a combination of the increased money from the state land trust and money from the state’s swelling budget surplus, expected to reach about $650 million by June. So boosting the land trust distribution from 2.5 percent to 6.9 percent for 10 years would essentially provide 60 percent of the settlement rather than new money. Projections suggest the increased distributions would decrease the value of the state land trust by about $3 billion in 10 years. Wyman said that without a commitment from the Legislature to adequately fund public education, the money from the inflation settlement won’t make much difference. For instance, the state has all but stopped providing money for new school facilities or even maintenance of the existing facilities. The district closed Frontier Elementary School to save about $500,000 annually in operating costs in the face of state budget cuts during the recession. That move resulted in a big increase in elementary school class sizes. The district then sold Frontier to a Christian school for about $1 million. But the district wound up sending most of that money to upgrade technology and maintain existing facilities. Wyman said many uncertainties remain that would wipe out any gains from the inflation settlement. For instance, the governor set up a committee of 100 people to spend six months developing a comprehensive plan to reform public education, guided by the goal of getting as much money as possible into classrooms while cutting overhead and adminis-

tration. “Education in this state is a $4 billion-a-year industry. I don’t think there’s an industry in the world where you could have a committee of 100 people come up with solutions to save the industry in six months,” said Wyman. “If it’s driven by a political ideology they could have some serious ramifications and all that money we’re supposed to get can come in on one hand and go out on the other.” As one example, he cited a legislative proposal to not let districts ask voters to approve bond issues or budget overrides. Payson gets about $1 million a year from a voter-approved budget override — more than twice what it will get from the inflation lawsuit settlement. “That alone would have a huge impact on us,” concluded Wyman.
Health survey will determine programs by
Teresa McQuerrey
roundup staff reporter
The Gila County Health Department wants the public’s help in figuring out how to spend more than $200,000 a year for three years to teach low-income residents about eating healthy and staying active. The county hopes residents will go online to fill out a survey to help it figure out how to spend a federal grant as part of the Arizona Nutrition Network for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance and Education Program (SNAP-Ed) of the state health department. Joshua Beck, with the Gila County Division of Health and Emergency Services, is administering the grant for the county. He explained the purpose of the grant is to provide nutrition education and obesity prevention programs and services to the county’s SNAP participants and those who are eligible in an effort to improve healthy lifestyle choices and reduce the risk of chronic disease. The grant focuses on both direct help for towns and education services to citizens — like nutrition classes in schools.
“We will be working with our (municipal) parks, recreation and trails divisions to make sure our citizens can safely access our parks and trails,” Beck said. To win the grant the Gila County Health Department did a needs assessment in 2012 and 2013 and picked strategies to address those needs in the next three years. “These focus areas will include increasing fruit and vegetable purchases at our local farmers markets — especially among our families participating in SNAP and the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) programs; promoting physical activity at our local parks and trails; working with our schools to implement strong local wellness policies that ensure our students are healthy and ready to learn; and focusing on our youngest population by working in preschools and early childhood settings to make sure our young children have plenty of opportunities to be physically active and enjoy healthy foods,” Beck said. The county will conduct a series of public forums to update information on health

needs. The county has put a health survey online until Friday, Nov. 13. The Gila County Health Department and Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center are conducting a survey to learn more about the health and quality of life in Gila County. The results of this survey will help health professionals address the county’s major health and community issues. A link can be found on the county website, or found at https://www.surveymonkey. com/r/GilaCommunityHealth The 16 questions cover a variety of topics about the individual’s health status, education and various aspects of health care access. Two Payson health forums on Nov. 4 covered the same topics. Participants talked about what they liked about Payson and the Rim Country; both its advantages and shortcomings in the way of health care and community services. They also made suggestions about ways to improve health care services. The results of the forums and surveys will be released in January.

Payson approves park improvements by
Alexis Bechman
roundup staff reporter
Starting sometime later this month, crews will begin ripping out the old soccer field turf at Rumsey Park. The south soccer field will then get a new coat of artificial turf. Weather permitting, crews should finish the new field by the end of December, said Nelson Beck, with Payson Parks and Recreation. The town will pay for the $330,000 project after years of requests from Parks and Recreation. The town installed the current field in 2000, but it now has many rips and tears. The fields have a lifespan of roughly 10 years, so the current field has served the town well, Beck said. The town will buy the new field from the
same supplier, which has promised improvements. Across the park at the softball fields, crews have already installed new lighting for the fields. Next week, the electrical cabinets for the lighting system should arrive. “We are more than 50 percent done,” Beck said of the softball lighting project. There are no lights currently on the fields, which limits the number of tournaments the town can hold. Hallie Overman-Jackman, with the Friends of Payson Parks and Recreation, a non-profit organization that raises funds to support the parks, said a 25-team tournament can bring in $250,000 in business to the town, with teams eating at restaurants and staying at hotels. The town is paying $400,000 to install the
lights. The Friends group would also like to see a concession stand, bathrooms and a crow’s nest or announcers booth added as well. Because of limited town funds, the Friends group will raise money for those improvements. Rory Huff, with Friends, said the group will go after large and small donations. The council gave the Friends group permission to offer incentives for donating, just like at the Payson Multi Event Center. There, donors could get their names printed on a brick or plaque placed by the entrance. Friends plans to do the same at Rumsey. For large donations, the Friends group could name the crow’s nest after the donor.

Forest Service plans to burn 150 acres
Saturday
Tonto National Forest fire specialists began burning 150 acres of vegetative debris piles in and around Shadow Rim Ranch and east of Verde Glen on Monday, Nov. 9. Weather permitting, crews will burn 350 acres of piles west of Shadow Rim Ranch later in the week. Residents and visitors can expect moderate to heavy amounts of smoke in the East Verde drainage and along Forest Roads 32, 1190 and 439. Communities affected by smoke early in the week include Rim Trail, Verde Glen and Whispering Pines. Smoke from the late-week ignitions will affect the communities of Bray Creek Ranch, Geronimo Boy Scout Camp and Geronimo Estates. Smoke may linger in the area through the weekend. Crews will post signs on roads affected by the smoke, urging drivers to slow down to protect firefighters. Use caution when driving along Forest Service Roads 32, 1190 and 439. Smoke may settle over the area at night. Prescribed fire treatments depend on conditions such as wind speed and direction, temperature, relative humidity and fuel moisture content.

Tonto National Forest fire specialists have successfully conducted prescribed fire treatments on 1,875 acres since the fall burning
period started on Oct. 1, 2015, and have cleared more than 7,068 acres since January in the Payson area.
Payson cops battle cancer Through the month of November, the Payson Police Department will put away their razors as they go on patrol with beards. No Shave November is a nationwide fundraising event encouraging people to grow out their facial hair to support cancer research and cancer patients. Many officers and staff at the PPD have been affected by cancer, so starting this week, residents will see “Beards on Patrol.” Participating officers, detectives and administrators have each donated $20 to begin fundraising. The PPD will post pictures of clean-shaven participants on the department’s Facebook page and during each week in November, participating officers will post
“beard progress” pictures on the page. The PPD would like residents to vote on the Best Beard. Anyone interested in voting can bring a donation to the PPD with the officer’s name written on the envelope. You can donate and vote as often as you like during the process. Residents are encouraged to get involved and spur the participants on throughout the month. On Dec. 1, the participant with the most donated money will give the money to a local family affected by cancer. Follow the Payson Police Department Facebook page for updates and photos. If you know of a family or person in need of help with funding due to cancer, contact Officer Justin Deaton at (928)474-5177.

O B I T U A R I E S Larry Olson (1952-2015)
Larry Olson was born Sept. 14, 1952. He always had a love for fishing. There was not a day that he did not wish that he was dropping a line in the water. Now, he gets to fish every day in the most epic fishing hole ever. Larry passed away on Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2015. He had a luster for life. He was always willing to help a friend or neighbor without expecting anything in return. On any given day you would see Larry mowing somebody’s lawn or just giving a helping hand. He was never known to be one that liked being inside. One of his favorite pastimes was spending time with his family outdoors. He loved wood cutting, camping and teaching his kids and grandchildren how to fish. He would always come back telling you that he caught “The BIG ONE” that was 18 inches; in actuality it was a minnow. Larry was a world renowned “knowologist.” If you asked a question and he wasn’t sure of the answer, his reply would be, “Let me tell you a story about Uncle Jed.” Larry was full of
“Uncle Jed” stories. The lingo that was often heard in these stories came straight out of “Larry’s Factionary.” If you happened to see Larry out and about, you better not be in a hurry. He had the gift of gab for sure. He was a social butterfly that even his wife couldn’t reel him in. He is leaving behind “his angel,” Marcia Olson of 42 years. They have three amazing children, Christopher, Mandie and Elizabeth; and one adopted son, Jeremy. They have one grandson, Zacharie and fiancée Missie; two granddaughters, Maleka and Dakota; and one great-grandson, Ethan. He loved singing Christmas carols, eating his sweets, enjoying a 7-N-7, beer and his breathing treatments. Come join the family in celebrating the life of Larry on Saturday, Nov. 28, 2015. The celebration will begin at 2 p.m. at their home. For the address, please call Marcia at (928) 9782257. “Just another day in paradise.”

Hikes, history & harebrained schemes Story and Photos by Alexis Bechman
roundup staff reporter
The Southwest has always been a place for fantastical schemes — some brilliant, some kind of crazy. So visionaries built a railroad across the country, used camels as desert steeds, launched steamboats on the Colorado River and tried to build a railroad through the Grand Canyon. Many of those turned into harebrained ideas that led men to ruin. Payson, above Outside Washington Park, sits one strange idea gone way awry. In the early 1880s, plans were laid to construct a 180-mile railroad passage from Flagstaff to Globe, passing straight through the colossal 2,000-foot Mogollon Rim. But like all ambitious, halfbaked plans — it failed. Today, you can visit the remnants of this outlandish dream at the end of a three-quarter mile hike to the tunnel from the top of the Rim, just south of the Apache Battle of Big Dry Wash monument. On a quick trek to the tunnel, we discovered breathtaking views out over the Rim and a quiet place to spend a few hours appreciating the beauty of this rugged landscape. The Arizona Mineral Belt Railroad was supposed to move ore from Globe to Flagstaff, where the Atlantic and Pacific railroads connected. If completed, “it would have been one of the greatest feats of its time,” noted in Zane Grey’s “Forgotten Ranch: Tales from the Boles Homestead.” However, first the backers had to bore a tunnel through the Rim on a slope gradual enough for a train to make it up the mountain loaded with ore. The Rim runs 200 miles across Arizona, dividing the desert from the Colorado Plateau. “Involved was a tremendous
engineering problem, in getting down the 2,000-foot rim of the Mogollons,” according to the 1916 “History of Arizona.” Slated to cost $4.26 million, the project quickly ran into financing issues. Col. James Ward Eddy, a Chicago entrepreneur, was the driving force behind the railroad. He served in the Civil War and later served in the Illinois Legislature before coming west. He became president of the Arizona Mineral Belt Railroad and led efforts to secure financing. In March 1886, the Railway Age reported that the tracks would run from Flagstaff southward “through a splendid pine forest for a distance of 75 miles, and thence 105 miles farther, through mineral fields of marvelous extent and richness and through excellent grazing lands and rich irrigable valleys to the town of Globe, Gila County, Arizona, a total length of 180 miles.” Few people then appreciated the geography of the West, where the Appalachian Mountains would hardly qualify as foothills. The plan now sounds foolish, but at that time when the railroad had transformed the nation — no plan seemed too grand. The project backers assembled a team of 42 men to bore a 16-footwide 3,100-foot tunnel through the Rim to what is now above Washington Park before any grading work was done. It took the crew about a month to complete 35 feet of the tunnel. “The work is in sandstone and comparatively easy,” according to an article that ran in the Arizona Silver Belt. Sam Haught built a cabin near the tunnel, planning to operate a store near the completed railroad. But after a month, the men got

The money had dried up and Eddy went to work looking for more financing. By 1886 he negotiated a partnership with the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad and work resumed. This time, crews went to Flagstaff and laid 35 miles of track before money once again dried up. In a struggle for control of the laid track, Eddy soon found himself out of the project. The Riordan family from Flagstaff led future efforts. The family used 12 miles of track near Flagstaff to

haul logs to their mills, but sold off the rest. Backers made subsequent efforts to revive the railroad, including extending the line to Globe and a line to the copper mines in Jerome. They finally gave up in 1906. Only faint remnants of the track remain near Flagstaff off Lake Mary Road. Haught, by the way, went down to Rye when the railway project failed and set up a post office and general store. Had the railway succeeded, it would have connected Payson to the rest of the Southwest, however, it would take 70 years before a “mainline” roadway connected Payson to the rest of the state. Today, the “tunnel to nowhere” remains a popular hike in Rim Country. The hike allows you to explore springs near the tunnel and a rock structure. We saw only a handful of hikers when we tackled the trail in late spring, but we nearly stepped on an Arizona black rattlesnake sunning itself on the rocks below the tunnel.

Moceri takes 33rd in state meet by
Keith Morris
roundup sports editor
PHOENIX — If Payson played soccer in the winter like most schools in the state, who knows what Gerardo Moceri might have accomplished as a cross country runner. But since soccer is a fall sport for the Longhorns just like many other small rural communities, we’ll never know. Instead, the Payson senior focused mainly on helping the soccer team be the best it could be this season. He only ran on a limited basis as the schedule permitted. That schedule was filled with state tournament soccer action the previous three seasons. But the Longhorns just missed the playoffs this season, leaving Moceri a brief window to turn his atten-
tion to running. He ran in the section meet in Holbrook a couple of weeks ago and qualified for the Division 3 state meet. He wound up placing 33rd among 191 finishers at Cave Creek Golf Course on Saturday afternoon. He completed the 3.1-mile course in 17:30.1. Chinle’s Santiago Hardy won in 15:58.5. Moceri is the first Payson boy to qualify for the state meet in years. “It’s pretty cool we had a boy here,” said Payson coach Jonathan Ball. “We hadn’t had a boy qualify since my first year when we had a team here.” Ball said it’s been difficult the past several years under the current division system. “All of a sudden you went from competing against 32 teams to competing

TUCSON — A campaign many had anticipated with visions of glory ended in disappointment in the Tucson desert on Saturday night. The bright hopes fostered by several star athletes dimmed by a rash of injuries flickered out with a quick end to the Longhorns’ postseason with a 38-13 loss to the Pusch Ridge Christian Lions. Alas, no team could overcome the storm of health-related issues that tore this team apart — with more hard blows in this final game of the season. But then, few could have handled the battering with such class. Head coach Jake Swartwood never used his team’s health as an excuse when things didn’t go well. Instead, he focused on the kids who stepped up to the call when the guy ahead of them went down. “Injuries throughout the season have just been tough on us,” he said moments after watching the opportunistic Lions take advantage of costly Payson turnovers and penalties. “It’s been one of those next-man-up callings for everybody. And our guys have stayed true and stayed the course and held the rope. I’m just very proud of them.” Payson closed the year with a 6-5 record, matching the most victories in any of Swartwood’s four seasons as head coach and the most since the 14-0 championship run in 2008. Wyatt Chapman hadn’t played since pulling up with a hamstring injury shy of the goal line on a long run in Flagstaff. The Longhorns won that game after a thrilling goal-line stand Payson fans remember oh so fondly. Then Payson won at Blue Ridge for the first time in 34 years, prompting some folks to wonder if 2015 really could go down in Longhorn history. But Chapman’s injury cast a long shadow over the season. Although the defense had the heart to hold off both Flagstaff and Blue Ridge, the team struggled to surmount all the injuries in what team trainer Scott Nossek calls the worst season he’s seen in 21 years. Still, the few hundred fans who braved the three-hour drive to Tucson on Saturday hoped the return of Chapman, along with tailback Ruben Estrada, fullback Taran Sarnowski and center Korben White, would give the Longhorns the firepower they needed to salvage the season. But Chapman’s long layoff took its toll — and the miscues that have plagued the Longhorns all season doomed them in the end. Between the fumbles and the penalties, the Longhorns couldn’t summon forth the team that whipped Window Rock, St. Johns, Coolidge and Page and slammed the defensive door shut with game-clinching stands at Flagstaff and Blue Ridge. Instead, the Lions (10-1) slammed the door on Payson’s season and now have reason to be brimming with confidence in next week’s home game against River Valley. The Dust Devils will have their hands full trying to contain tailback Tamerat McLeod, who rushed for three touchdowns on Saturday. See Gridders, page 6B

against 65 teams,” he said. “It just changes everything.” But things should improve beginning next school year when yet another Arizona Interscholastic Association realignment switches back to smaller conferences. Ball said Moceri faced the huge challenge of running against boys who’ve worked for months preparing to be at their best for the state meet while he was on the soccer field. “All the kids he was competing against were working all summer for this,” Ball said. “Gerardo started working two weeks ago. I feel like he ran well. “I think he was a little bit disappointed. He foresaw the medals and stuff.

Garden celebrates food bank harvest by
Michele Nelson
roundup staff reporter
As they do every year, the gardeners from the Payson Community Garden gathered at the Church of the Nazarene to share in their end-ofthe-year harvested bounty. About 60 people attended the dinner bringing casseroles, stuffed veggies and a smattering of desserts including zucchini bread. When asked what homemade treat he liked best, Community Garden founder Roger Kreimeyer said he liked them all. But he commented on the decorations. “They had the cutest table decorations made by Marion Grill,” he said. The Harvest Dinner serves as a time to have gratitude for the bounty of the gardens and take stock of the success with food donations. Part of the mission of the Payson Community Garden is to donate a portion of everyone’s harvest to local food banks. Kreimeyer said the donations to the food banks this year exceeded goals. “We donated 12,200 pounds,” he said, “12,000 was the goal in the spring.” In other good news, Kreimeyer said more people have decided to grow winter gardens to keep the harvest coming.

What makes the Payson Community Garden unique — its interdenominational cooperation. The Church of the Nazarene owns the land and provides the utilities the garden uses, while the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints provides education and manpower. St. Vincent de Paul and the Presbyterian Church run the food banks. Which explains why Kreimeyer feels as he does about gardening, “The Lord likes gardens, he planted us people in the garden and would like to harvest more developed people.”
Heroes of education
The Payson Unified School District honored the Payson Police Department through Chief Don Engler and School Resource Officer Rory Vaughn for the service and protection offered to the district. Superintendent Greg Wyman praised the department and the SRO for the service to the students and staff of the district. Chief Engler said the department appreciated the relationship with the school, especially the one Officer Vaughn had with the kids. “All the kids in Payson know him,” said Engler. The Mogollon Sporting Association received recognition as a Hero of Education for the organization’s financial support to the youth and wilderness of the Rim Country.
Wyman honored the group saying, “If you come from the outside, you have no idea how giving to this community MSA is,” he said. Numerous members of MSA were on hand to receive the award, including Jack and Sandee
Koon. Just to reinforce its good works, the organization donated $5995.70 to the agricultural FFA department and $8,586.57 to the PUSD transportation department at the Oct. 26 PUSD board meeting.

Moceri does well despite soccer focus From page 1B “The thing is, he had soccer legs and we were trying to get him cross country legs at the end. I’m real proud of him. He was running on mental strength. That’s a tribute to who Gerardo is. A lot of people need to decompress after a season but Gerardo
just hit it hard with us after soccer. That shows who he is. He got in and he got a medal last week (14th place at sectional) and this week he ran in the 30s.” Now the focus shifts to running for Moceri, who’ll return for his final season as a distance runner on the track team in hopes of running in college.
Gridders stumble in the desert From page 1B Chapman returned after missing the final five games of the regular season. However, he wasn’t 100 percent. His hamstring tightened up in the first quarter and he spent the rest of the game watching helplessly from the sidelines — a good call from a coaching staff that put his welfare above a win. Without the speedy star, the Longhorns, the No. 14 seed in the 16-team Division 4 tournament, lost in the opening round of the playoffs for the fourth consecutive time. The Lions, who now face larger schools after previously playing in Division 5, are attempting to reach the Nov. 21 semifinals for the first time. They advance to the quarterfinals to host No. 6 River Valley (10-1) at 6 p.m. Saturday. The Dust Devils opened with a 24-6 win over No. 11 Blue Ridge. The River Valley-Pusch Ridge winner faces the winner of the quarterfinal between No. 7 Lake Havasu and No. 2 Show Low (110) in the semis. In Saturday’s other quarterfinals, No. 8 Northwest Christian travels to No. 1 Yuma Catholic and No. 5 Snowflake visits No. 4 Estrella Foothills. The winners meet in the other semifinal. The championship game is at 6 p.m. on Nov. 28 at Scottsdale Chaparral. Although on Saturday the Lions didn’t exactly rack up a pinball score, they enjoyed plenty of success on the ground. Pusch Ridge netted 180 yards on 38 carries (4.7 average). But the big number was the three touchdowns by McLeod, who led the way with 98 yards on 10 carries (9.8). Cropp completed 2 of 3 passes for 66 yards and a 20-yard TD to Mitch Maas. Pusch Ridge had 246 yards of total offense to 224 for Payson. Payson ran for just 104 yards on 31 carries. Ruben Estrada led the way with 45 yards. The team’s other 23 carries netted just 59 yards. Chaz Davis completed 9 of 15 passes for 120 yards. He scored on a 1-yard run late in the opening quarter for the Longhorns’ only offensive touchdown. The other came on an 89-yard fumble return by Taran Sarnowski to make it 24-13 with 4:50 left in the
third quarter. Chapman only ran the ball five times for 16 yards and fumbled on the fifth play from scrimmage deep in Longhorn territory. The Lions pounced on it at the Payson 23-yard line and six plays later Dakota Haynes scored on a 1-yard run to make it 7-0. Six penalties for 85 yards at crucial moments also hurt the Longhorns. An illegal block in the back wiped out a 55-yard touchdown pass from Davis to Angel Jacquez that could have tied the game at 14-14. Then a holding infraction erased a 43-yard pass from Davis to Jacquez to the Pusch Ridge 2-yard line that would have left the Longhorns knocking on the door in a 17-7 game. Instead, Payson was forced to punt, leading to a Lions’ TD. “We had a couple of costly penalties that called back touchdowns and a fumble early that cost us a little bit as well,” Swartwood said. But the coach praised his kids. “I don’t think there’s a better group of young men in the state,” he said. “I don’t think there’s a harder working group of kids. And I don’t think there’s a heart that will match ours out there. “I watched a group of young men tonight just fight through everything, fight through adversity, and just keep pushing as hard as they could. So, I’m very proud of them tonight and proud of their fight through the year. We had a lot of adversity this year and I didn’t ever see one guy put their head down.” The injuries continued to mount for the Longhorns in the final game. Jacquez left with bruised lungs and spent two days in a Tucson hospital. And Christian Mann lay on the field for several minutes following a scary helmet-to-helmet collision with a Pusch Ridge defender as he tried to catch a pass from Davis. He eventually walked off the field.
