Mayor announces university land purchase BY

In a press release Friday morning, Payson Mayor Kenny Evans announced plans to purchase a 250-acre Forest Service parcel as the site for a university campus. The announcement said backers will open an escrow account for the $4.1 million purchase before the end of the year and close escrow by early 2015. The release left many key questions about the land purchase and the effort to finalize a deal with Arizona State University unanswered. The Roundup will provide full coverage of the outstand-

ing issues on Tuesday. Rim Country Educational Alliance (SLE) Chairman Steve Drury said he didn’t know the Payson University Campus Volunteer Committee planned to issue the release. Drury said he had reached an agreement with Tonto National Forest to buy an additional 21 acres, one of the conditions that ASU had attached to signing a final agreement to build a 6,000-student campus in Payson. Drury said it would take about a year to buy the extra 21 acres, but the purchase of the remaining acreage and the construction of the initial 1,000-student phase of the campus could proceed prior

to finalizing the purchase of the additional 21 acres. The release from the fundraising group quoted Evans as saying “Members of this community, the SLE board, and a host of professionals have worked long and hard to make the dream of a campus in the pines of Payson a reality. “We are moving forward with renewed vigor to acquire the land, the next of our critical milestones in the project.” The release said details of a “new strategy” will be revealed once the group has gotten an assurance from the Forest Service the land is cleared for sale, prepared a sales agreement and provided the money for both the land purchase and

necessary archaeological work. “We have persevered through many delays. The community is ready to see a sign in the ground that says ‘Future Site of A University Campus in Payson.’ Our goal is for that sign to be in place in January,” said Evans. The release leaves it unclear who will purchase the land. Drury said he planned to meet with Evans on Friday morning to discuss the project and the land purchase. He speculated that the release suggests Evans wants to regain control of the project, which the SLE board has exercised for the past several years. The Payson and Star Valley councils

created the SLE board four years ago and appointed its members to oversee the project, buy the land and build the campus. The SLE board last month directed Drury to meet with the Forest Service and ASU to finalize purchase of the 250acre Forest Service site. ASU negotiators told Drury they would not finalize an agreement to build a campus unless the SLE added a parcel of flat, buildable land for a research park and other support facilities. ASU also wanted Evans to provide in writing a guarantee that he could raise $10-$20 million to provide support facilities and offset any losses ASU might incur in the first phase of the campus.

Displaced residents face disaster deadline Apartment repairs may take months BY

ALEXIS BECHMAN

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

With debris under foot, electrical cords strung up along long hallways, large ventilation fans pumping in warm air, an eerie orange glow cast throughout plastic sheeting and warning signs posted at every entrance, the Canal Senior Apartments this week felt like an underground mine. Workers in protective gear and face masks busily carried drying fans in and out of rooms. In dark units, workers boxed up residents’ possessions while others ripped out putrid smelling carpet. From upstairs came the sound of hammers pummeling drywall. Everywhere you looked in the threestory complex, supervisors had marked walls with large Xs and scribbled “remove vinyl” on floors in

black marker to let demolition crews know what goes and what stays — it appeared it all would go in at least half of the building. Given the extent of damage and the complexity of the repairs, the initial two-week estimate has stretched to more like two months. But Sunshine Cleaning and Restoration, which is overseeing the job, doesn’t have the luxury of time. The low-income residents, some of which are frail, elderly or disabled, must move back in by the end of the year or the property management company faces closure due to a loss of the tax credits that could prompt investors to back out. “The biggest challenge is time,” said Jesse Clark, owner of Sunshine. At 9:30 a.m. last Wednesday, Sunshine first arrived at Canal Senior Apartments after a small candle fire in one third-story unit set off two fire sprinklers. The sprinklers ran for nearly an hour before firefighters turned the system off. By then, See Apartments, page 2A

If cleanup crews can’t get the low-income residents of the Canal Senior Apartments back into their homes before January, the complex may lose funding. A candle caused a small fire last week, but two sprinklers did most of the damage.

School district scrambles to adopt controversial test BY

attend college or thrive in the workplace. However, a huge percentage of the students passed the first version of the test. Each year, the state fiddled with the test, trying to make it useful without denying 20 or 30 percent of the students a high school degree. The final version of the test denied few students a degree, but may have contributed to the state’s unusually high drop-out rate. The new test was developed as

part of a national school reform movement intended to establish national standards, so that parents and educators could compare students in each state with their peers across the country. The development of those national standards became controversial in its turn as part of the federally-sanctioned Common Core academic standards. Parents and teachers have set up a hue and cry because students have performed dismally in

states like New York where the Common Core standards and accompanying tests have been fully implemented. The national standards have also aroused fierce opposition in Arizona. Newly elected Superintendent of Public Instruction Diane Douglas based her whole campaign on pulling the state out of the national standards as quickly as possible. Newly elected Gov. Doug Ducey also opposes state participation in the stan-

dards. The entire state legislative delegation representing Rim Country — Bob Thorpe and Brenda Barton in the House and Sylvia Allen in the Senate, also oppose the national standards. So in the midst of implanting the standards and the new tests, the state could pull out of the Common Core standards completely. Several other states have already done so, at the cost of millions of dollars in federal funding.

There’s a new test in town, and its name is AzMERIT — short for Arizona’s Measurement of Educational Readiness to Inform Teaching. This new test will replace the AIMS (Arizona Instrument to Measure Standards) test that has been an annual right of passage for students since 2006. The class of 2016 will be the

last class to graduate using the AIMS test. For the last eight years, educators have used AIMS to determine if students have adequately learned reading, writing, math and science. All classes going forward will use the AzMERIT test to graduate. The AIMS test had a long and rocky history, part of a reform intended to ensure graduating high school students had mastered the skills they needed to

A fox that recently attacked a Valley man in Fossil Creek had rabies. Michael O’Driscoll, director of the Gila County Division of Health and Emergency Services, said the man killed the fox and took it to Maricopa County where officials confirmed it had the disease. O’Driscoll said the fox came out of the brush and scratched the man, who is now undergoing treatment for rabies. The county is still investigating whether a mountain lion killed in Tonto Basin had rabies, he said. O’Driscoll said one incident (or possibly two) is not uncommon. Because of the rural nature of the county, people and

pets often interact with wildlife. Should that wildlife display unusual behavior, people should keep their distance and keep dogs on leashes and house cats inside. Don’t handle injured or dead animals. All pets should have up-to-date rabies shots, he said. If a pet is somehow injured and an attack by a wild animal is suspected, the pet must be quarantined. If the wild animal is captured or killed, officials can test for rabies. If they can’t capture the animal and rule out rabies, the pet must undergo quarantine to see if symptoms develop. For animals that have their rabies shot, the quarantine lasts 10 days. For pets without their shots, the quarantine can last for six months.

A Star Valley man who was run over by a tractor last week has died. Wayne Van Horn, 67, was trying to start a tractor in a Payson parking lot Thursday, Nov. 6 when he got his leg stuck under the wheel and the in-gear tractor lunged forward, trapping his leg and him underneath, according to his wife Katherine Van Horn. Payson firefighters got his heart beating again, but he coded on his way to the Valley. Doctors told Wayne Van Horn Katherine that Wayne would not regain consciousness and she had him taken off life support. “I am glad that he went (quickly),” she said. “Can you imagine if he had to live that way?” Since moving to Star Valley in 2006, Wayne often attended Star Valley council meetings. Katherine said Wayne loved following town business. The couple had lived in Southern California for years before stumbling on Star Valley during a cross country trip. Katherine “fell in love instantly” with the area and they bought property on Dealer’s Choice Road. A machinist and fabricator by trade, Wayne

started up his business again. Carl Shirley, of Can Do Automotive, worked with Wayne on repair jobs. He was supposed to meet up with Wayne Monday, but when he didn’t show up or return his calls, Shirley went to the Van Horn’s home and learned Wayne had died. “He really liked helping everyone,” Shirley said. “If you gave him a block of steel and asked him to turn it into a bolt he would stay up all night and do it.” He added that Wayne had “amazing skill” and he was “so reliable and friendly.” While Wayne had muscular dystrophy and

other physical limitations “He was very willingly helpful to everyone,” he said. The Van Horns met in high school when Katherine was just 14. They married as teens and 10 days after their ceremony, Wayne was sent to Vietnam. He served in the Army for three years and the Army National Guard later for some 40 years, she said. The couple was married for 46 years and had four children. The couple’s three surviving children have been at Katherine’s side since the accident. A funeral service is planned for Nov. 21 at the Riverside National Cemetery in Riverside, Calif.

Election results finalized BY

The final vote count offered no surprises in the last few close races in Rim Country. With virtually every vote counted, Payson School Board candidates held their early winning margins — including Angie Prock (35.84 percent) and Sheila DeSchaaf (32.41 percent). Darlene Younker came in just behind DeSchaaf with 31.36 percent of the vote. The Payson School District’s budget override measure gained about half a per-

centage point to take 60.01 percent of the votes cast in its favor. Prock and DeSchaaf will join the PUSD board in January. The final tally on the closely watched District 4 state Senate race also confirmed the early count. Former Republican Sen. Sylvia Allen took 52 percent of the vote district-wide compared to 48 percent for Independent Tom O’Halleran, a former Republican state senator. Allen received 66 percent of the vote in the Gila County portions of her district she had formerly represented in the state Senate.

the water had done massive damage. Firefighters hadn’t even left the building yet and Sunshine crews raced to get to work. Crews dumped buckets of water from the third- and second-story windows. While just two sprinkler heads had gone off, the water had seeped down the hallways, drained down the walls and poured into the second and first floor. Even the ground-floor community room at the west end had water pouring from the light fixtures, said Michele Bailey, apartment manager. The only room on the east side of the building not impacted by the damage so far was Bailey’s office. But crews don’t really know what they are going to find until they get all the drywall ripped out. All this week, Absolute Restoration workers swiftly boxed up tenants’ units and carried their furniture to storage pods. After everything was out, demolition crews could rip out anything water touched. While most of the walls were dry thanks to 300 large fans placed throughout the complex, everything will still need to come out. Bailey explained that many units had cat boxes and puppy pee pads. The water flowed over these and carried waste through the walls. To meet safety requirements, all of the walls and insulation that got wet must go and crews must wear protective gear. Clark said it was the largest job Sunshine had tackled since his mom founded the business in 1987. In years past, when freezing temperatures cracked pipes and flooded second homes, Sunshine has been called on to clean up 25 to 30 homes in Pine and Chaparral Pines. “In some ways this is harder though because it is bigger, but easier because it is all in one place,” Clark said. With winter approaching, Clark hopes freezing temperatures will hold off until they can finish. Clark and team set up a makeshift office

This week crews went to work drying out and repairing the Canal Senior Apartments while residents and their pets sought shelter. The cat below was rescued from a thirdfloor balcony and is temporarily being housed at the Humane Society. in one of the empty apartments, struggling to coordinate workers and supplies. If they cannot get insulation by Monday, for example, the whole job could be held up. “We let the guys have Sunday off so they were rested for the rest of the week because we have got to just keep going,” he said. Richard Croy, president of the Payson Regional Housing Development, said they are doing everything they can to get residents back in quickly. “I have every faith in Sunshine, they have been absolutely wonderful,” Bailey said. Bailey and Croy don’t know if residents will be allowed to move in sooner to units that weren’t impacted. He said the apartment managers don’t want to jeopardize tenants’ health or the workers’ progress.

Deluge of donations for homeless renters BY

ALEXIS BECHMAN

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

Since water damage from a small candle fire displaced dozens of low-income residents, a deluge of donations has kept everyone afloat. But the money to put residents up in hotels will run out soon, leaving many residents facing a bleak Christmas. “The Salvation Army agreed to put 43 residents in hotels for up to 14 days. After that, we need community donations to help pay for rooms,” said Michele Bailey, Canal Senior Apartment manager, 807 S. Westerly Road. It could take until the end of the year before residents are allowed back home with at least half of the three-story complex needing repair due to extensive water damage on Nov. 5. Many of the residents live on fixed incomes and don’t have insurance or savings for an emergency, Bailey said. So far, Rim Country businesses and residents have stepped forward to help, but residents still need assistance. Initially, several local hotels offered discounted rates, housing residents for the first two nights. Then the Salvation Army found enough donated money to put everyone up at the Quality Inn for two weeks. So far, Quality Inn has been great, Bailey said. The complimentary breakfast is so good many of the residents do not need a lunch because they are so full, said Joanne Conlin with the Senior Center. “They have been so patient and kind and

they are really going out of their way to accommodate (the residents),” Conlin said of Quality Inn, 801 N. Beeline Highway. With awesome breakfasts, volunteers only have to supply dinner. Several organizations and restaurants are offering food, including the Senior Center, Mountain Bible Church, Senior Circle, Gerardo’s and the Pizza Factory. The local food banks have offered food boxes if needed. On Tuesday, several Canal residents sat together at a table at the Senior Center eating potpie for lunch. All deeply appreciated the outpouring of support, but they hope to get back in their homes quickly. One woman whispered that she missed her privacy. For several of the reclusive residents, being out of their home is a challenge. Conlin and Bailey are urging any of the residents to reach out for counseling, which the Red Cross and churches have offered. “This is stressful for them,” Bailey said. “They are away from their animals and some are really shaken up.” To make the transition back to their homes once construction is complete, Mattress Experts is offering mattress sets to residents at cost. Cindy Gregory with Mattress Experts said when she read about what happened at Canal in the paper she knew she wanted to lend a hand. “Because of the circumstances it is just horrible what they went through and we just want to help,” she said.

The Senior Center says its doors are always open for the residents, whether they need someone to talk to or just a cup of coffee. An anonymous donor has given the Senior Center money to assist the residents. The Humane Society of Central Arizona is currently housing for free a dozen cats. Sarah Hock, executive director, said most of the animals are doing well, but some of the cats are stressed. Bailey checks up on the animals frequently and says she would take them home with her if she could, but can’t have any more animals in her tiny place. While the cash donations and help have been great, Bailey worries assistance could dry up before residents are back in their homes given the length of construction. She hopes groups or organizations will hold fundraisers and people will continue to give. To donate, call the Senior Center at (928) 474-4876. Mail or drop off a check at National Bank of Arizona, 804 S. Beeline Highway, Payson, AZ 85441, written out to the Senior Center. In the memo line, denote “For Canal Senior Residents.” And if you don’t have money to give, consider donating your time by becoming a bell ringer for the Salvation Army. All of the money collected stays in Rim Country. Call John Morgan with the Payson Salvation Army to set up a time to ring at (928) 474-8454 or (928) 595-0517. Bell ringers collect donations from Thanksgiving through Christmas.

Library Friends of Payson host CASA program The Library Friends of Payson will host Lyndsie Butler, local CASA coordinator, at the Monday, Nov. 17 meeting. She will give a presentation on Court Appointed Special Advocates to the community. CASA volunteers are appointed by a judge to work with children in court dependency cases. The CASA volunteers get to know the child and important people in the foster child’s life and report everything they learn directly to the judge. They have a positive impact on the foster child’s life; many adults who were children in foster care say that their CASA volunteer was the one person they could trust throughout the dependency process. The meeting is in the library meeting room, it starts with a short business meeting at 10 a.m., with the program at 10:30 a.m. The public is invited to both the business meeting and the free one-hour program.

LOOKBACK

OURVIEW

• Nov. 15, 1864: Union General William Tecumseh Sherman begins his famous March to the Sea by torching the industrial section of Atlanta. For the next six weeks, Sherman’s army cut a 60-mile-wide swath of destruction through Georgia before capturing the seaport of Savannah. • Nov. 13, 1942: U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a measure lowering the minimum draft age from 21 to 18. • Nov. 14, 1986: Wall Street arbitrageur Ivan Boesky pleads guilty to insider trading and agrees to pay a $100 million fine. “Boesky Day,” as the SEC would later call it, was crucial in exposing a nationwide scandal at the heart of the ’80s Wall Street boom. • Nov. 16, 1999: Construction begins on a giant bonfire at Texas A&M University, the continuation of a 90-year tradition. Two days later, the 59-foot-high pile of more than 7,000 logs collapsed, killing 12 students and injuring another 27.

Our neighbors need our help he vulnerable residents of the Canal Senior Apartments continue to get slammed by bad news. Now it looks like it will take two months to repair the damage done by the sprinklers triggered by a small candle-caused fire in a third-floor apartment. The sprinklers ran for close to an hour, sending water cascading throughout the apartments of dozens of people — many of them elderly, frail or disabled. The damage proved so extensive that the residents will need help for at least two months. Worse yet, if the cleanup crews can’t get everyone back into their apartments before January, the complex could lose its federal tax-exempt status thanks to an inflexible federal requirement. That could bring on financial disaster, driving off investors and forcing closure of the whole complex. A core of community groups sprang into action to help the victims of this unfolding disaster. The Salvation Army emptied its account to provide hotel rooms for 42 residents for two weeks, leaving the group critically dependent on its Christmas bell ringers this year to replenish that account. The Quality Inn offered sharply reduced rates for the refugees, including a complimentary breakfast that offers a feast for people often living alone and struggling to provide for themselves. The Senior Center also stepped in, offering each resident a good dinner, activities, counseling and other assistance. Mountain Bible Church, Senior Circle, Gerardo’s and the Pizza Factory have also pitched in. The Humane Society took in the pets of the residents, realizing that both pets and owners will face trauma for the crisis and the forced separation. These groups have already set up ways for the community to help as well. To donate, call the Senior Center at (928) 474-4876. Mail or drop off a check off at National Bank of Arizona, 804 S. Beeline Highway, Payson, AZ 85541, written out to the Senior Center. In the memo line, denote “For Canal Senior Residents.” You can also donate time by becoming a bell ringer from Thanksgiving through Christmas for the Salvation Army to help struggling families in our community. Call John Morgan with the Payson Salvation Army to set up a time to ring at (928) 474-8454 or (928) 595-0517. Supporters will also have to find some way to help the residents with housing once the Salvation Army money runs out. We’ll keep you posted on that effort. The crisis for our struggling neighbors comes as the crucial holiday charity fundraising season ramps up. Already, the Payson area food banks are struggling and supporters are organizing a new community food drive. Despite the many financial demands of this season, we hope that our beloved readers will help those less fortunate this year, more than ever. The need is great, but we do not fear. The love and compassion of this community has always risen to overtop the need.

Information banishes fear The effort to build an industrial park in the midst of the scenic Granite Dells has developed a worrisome number of kinks, twists and turns. The unconventional course of the vital proposed development has served to raise more questions than it has answered. We believe that the seemingly sideways scuttle of the project stems from the legitimate concerns of Jim Antich, co-owner of Advanced Tactical Armament Concepts (ATAC). However, we hope that the company and the town will work harder to keep the process open and clear — since some of the kinks in procedure have fueled fears on the part of many residents that backers are trying to do an end-run around the normal process. We understand that the latest plan to get the town council to approve a pre-annexation development agreement has concerned some critics of the project. They fear the agreement would commit the town to the rezoning and site plan before the public gets a chance to have a look at the crucial details — including things like wastewater treatment, water needs and impact on recreation in the surrounding areas. Payson Town Attorney Tim Wright has assured the Roundup that the development agreement merely gives ATAC the ability to drop its annexation request if the town council won’t approve the zoning or site plan. That’s reasonable. The landowners certainly have the right to such assurances before committing themselves to the annexation. But the public also has the right to see the plans and have its input — both before the Payson planning commission and town council approves the proposal. Given all the confusion the project has already spawned, we trust the town will air on the side of full disclosure. Bad things grow in the dark and light remains the best disinfectant.

MAILCALL

Candlelight Walk successful EDITOR: Time Out held its annual Candlelight Walk Oct. 29, concluding the planned activities for Domestic Violence Awareness Month. The event was hugely successful by any measure. It was truly gratifying to see such huge support from the community. I want to thank Donovan and the Expedition Church for hosting as well as all of the local businesses that displayed the crosses bringing the victims’ stories to light. Radio stations KMOG and KPJM really came through in promoting our event. The Payson Roundup provided great coverage and reporting — they are truly wonderful assets for our community — and of course, thank you everyone that took the time to attend. After all, it’s all about the victims. Elizabeth Keddington, community awareness chair, Time Out, Inc.

Thanks for coverage EDITOR: Thanks to the Roundup for providing great coverage the October jazz performance at the Presbyterian Church. We had a good turnout; the music was good; and folks didn’t want to leave after two hours. And we didn’t even have any cookies this time. I don’t think the event would have come off without having the photos in the paper. Gerry Reynolds

Ode to Rambo EDITOR: Today I lost a friend, companion and loved one. We danced together, played together, ran and walked together. Long walks evolved into the twostep as in two steps. Bounding up the stairs led to a crawl and finally a remorseful look of I can’t do this anymore. We looked forward to our weekend jaunt to the park to see all our buddies until that too became a chore. We had so many fun times together. Like the day he stole my friend’s bra as we chased him through the house and all around the back yard. We watched TV together as we patiently waited for the announcer to shout “Wheel of Fortune!” He didn’t like violence of any kind. When the TV screen depicted boxing, football, hockey or “Walker Texas Ranger” he gave out a menacing sound with his nose touching the screen. He loved to “TP” the house with the toilet paper roll so much so that we had to close the bathroom door. But this too passed away. And today, my dog Rambo passed away. I miss him already. John G. Wakelin

Buy gas out of town EDITOR: Recently, for a variety of reasons, I took a trip down to the Valley. While I was there, I had to buy gas. I was pleasantly surprised to see the price of $2.73 per gallon.

I came back to Payson and I noticed the price of gas had plummeted to $3.19. Someone needs to explain to me why gas is so expensive here compared to the Valley. And don’t tell me it’s shipping cost. No way could it cost 4 to 6 cents per gallon to deliver gas here. Even Prescott is cheaper than Payson with an average cost of $2.93 per gallon. Except for absolute greed, there is no reason for gas prices to be this high in Payson. I will not buy gas here unless I have to. I will wait for one of my Valley trips. If more of us started doing the same, prices will drop. Bob Graziano

It would be helpful if the Highway Department were to put up signs that say “All Trucks Must Use Right Lane.” What it comes down to is we are oldfashioned and expect the laws, especially the one’s already on the books, to be enforced by whatever jurisdiction they fall under. Perhaps one of the problems is instead of buying property and building parks we should have our own law enforcement agency and stop farming it out to the overworked sheriff’s department. Harold and Shirley Snyder

Gas price complaint

County nurse a great asset to community

EDITOR: I just returned from a trip to the Grand Canyon. On Oct. 29 the Giant and Maverik gas stations in Flagstaff were selling regular gas for $3.029 a gallon. On Oct. 30 the Cottonwood Giant station was priced at $2.989 a gallon. There was even a Chevron station in Cottonwood with a price of $2.039 a gallon. No wonder the Payson merchants keep urging us to buy local. Milt Bott

Star Valley gripes EDITOR: Halloween made Scrooge look like some sort of patron saint. We live in Star Valley and really wish we didn’t. Tonight we kept our lights on and our door open. Our neighbors have a really fantastic display for Halloween. We had such beautiful children and great parents at our door for trick or treat, but the unbelievable and miserable barking of no less than seven different dogs in the neighborhood from 6 to 8 p.m. was misery not to be believed. If you are so cheap you can’t bear to buy a couple of dollars worth of candy and enjoy the wonderful faces and costumes of the children delighting in an age old tradition for heaven’s sake don’t just leave, turn out your lights and go off leaving your dogs outside to bark for hours supposedly protecting your home. Who is protecting your homes and right to the peaceful enjoyment of the same as defined by the Constitution? Dogs we like and enjoy, but I’m sure even the dog does not enjoy several hours of barking. Really, the shame belongs to the town council of Star Valley who are so busy doing important work like building a park on property they now realize was a mistake to purchase in the first place. Why aren’t they concerned with the welfare and sanity of all the citizens? Even a simple thing like an enforced noise ordinance ie: barking dogs. Oh, I forgot Star Valley has one, but who notices or obeys it? Come on council, shape up and do your job right. Do something instead of waiting for people to call the sheriff’s office because they have far better things to do like patrolling Highway 260 for the semi trucks that hog the inside lane knowing four miles later they have to turn left. They impede the flow of traffic when they have to stop at the light at Tyler Parkway and then go through the gears to get up speed.

EDITOR: My husband and I moved to Payson a little more than five weeks ago from St. Paul, Minn. We are very happy with our decision, by the way. We had to change our health insurance with the move and when we went to get flu shots we had quite the hassle — until we went to the Gila County Health Department here in Payson. After three attempts to get the shot and have our insurance cover it we finally went to the health department and Lucinda Campbell was so helpful, friendly and persistent we were amazed. She also had trouble at first trying to get the correct information to appear on her computer and she basically apologized and was going to send us on our way like the other places we had tried. Then she said, “Let me try one more thing.” Well, her “one more thing” turned out to be “just what the doctor ordered.” We were so frustrated and Lucinda was able to alleviate that frustration and give us our flu shots that will be covered by our insurance. It is such a comfort to have people like Lucinda who are willing to go the extra mile, especially for those of us moving from a metropolitan city to a smaller town like Payson. Thank you so much, Lucinda! Gratefully and sincerely, Barbara Anderson & Barry Nelson

Just more of the same EDITOR: Since we seemingly have elected a male clone of Jan Brewer as our next governor, the question that begs for an answer is will things change for the better under Doug Ducey’s leadership? The short answer is probably not. Since we still have one political party having almost complete control of our state, our public schools will still have to beg for adequate funding, our social services will be shortchanged, loony legislation will be introduced and too often passed and signed into law. Abortion rights, the Affordable Care Act, and antiObama rhetoric will all still receive too much attention from our myopic legislators. Court orders will probably be appealed or ignored and “dark money” will proliferate. The more things appear to change the more they remain the same. As Yogi Berra once uttered, it’s déjà vu all over again! Richard K. Meszar

Fred Carpenter provided music, while the high school drama department ran the lighting. Serving the cuisine were some of the local Girl Scouts. Amongst the helpful little ladies were Shaylee Kelley and Rayn Romero, both age 10, exceptionally attentive and each beaming a genuine smile. The wholehearted crowd responded enthusiastically to the raffle and silent auction, with big reactions from the winners. Fashions shown were from Boutique and Bob’s Western Wear. Macky’s owners Greg and Carrie Day were among the attractive locals showing off upto-the-minute styles. The audience roared with support and applause each time a new model took the runway.

Payson council chooses new town attorney BY

ALEXIS BECHMAN

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

The Payson Town Council has selected a new attorney and he comes by way of the Town of Florence. If contract negotiations are successful, James Mannato will take over for Tim Wright at the start of 2015. Mannato is currently the town attorney and prosecutor in Florence, one of 19 applicants for Wright’s job. Voters recently elected Wright to the Superior Court bench in Gila County and his four-year term begins Jan. 1. Of the applicants, Mannato was one of five the town inter-

viewed and one of two finalists. On Oct. 30, Mannato spoke before the council along with fellow finalist Russell Romney, Glendale’s deputy city attorney. After several executive sessions, the council chose Mannato Thursday. Mayor Kenny Evans said the council felt Mannato was the most capable of filling Wright’s shoes, but said both Romney and Mannato were highly qualified candidates. Mannato could start as soon as December so Wright can train him on town procedures. Mannato said the transition should be seamless. “I will do everything in my

power to pledge to you that I will serve and protect (the council), the town staff and the community with pride,” he said. Mannato was born in New York and grew up on Long Island. He studied at Hofstra University and received his law degree from the California Western School of Law. He opened his own law practice in 1991 and kept that until 2003 until he and his wife Janet, also an attorney and an Arizona native, relocated to Arizona so she could be closer to family. He took up work in Pinal County and has worked there for the past 17 years. While there, he spent a year with the Coolidge City Magistrate before moving to

Teacher hopes residents get on board to help first-graders get SMART board Stacey Summers hopes Rim Country residents will help her engage her students. She has thrown her hat into the State Farm Thank a Million Teachers grant process to purchase a SMART board. “There are 20 regional finalists and I am number 17,” she said. “We only have one SMART board, but it’s in the computer lab.” Summers said she can move up the ranks if Rim Country residents visit www.thankamillionteachers.com and vote for her. The first-grade teacher had to write a proposal for the website and arrange for the local State Farm agent to sponsor her request. Summers explained in her online request that the SMART board would help her students learn and grow. “There is an opportunity to apply the SMART technology to every subject in our studies — from spelling and reading to math and writing. For example, I could host Jeopardy-like lesson reviews and in-class competitions to engage every student. “In addition, the use of the SMART technology would expose each student to the power of technology — an important experience, especially in a rural district like ours.” The Thank a Million Teachers grant online voting started on Nov. 1 and ends Nov. 30.

the Town of Florence in 2003. When his wife retired from Pinal County in August, the couple decided it was time to move to a cooler location. “We really like the area,” he said. Given his experience in town government, Mannato said he felt confident he could serve Payson well. “I have been fortunate in my career to have experienced pretty much all sides of our system of justice and I think that will help me to make this transition for you very seamless,” he said. “I think it has provided me with a very broad perspective on the system of justice and also allowed me to be a very effective negotiator with all the many different types of individuals that you deal with when you run the legal department for a municipality.” Mannato has worked with developers, business owners, utility companies and county government while in Florence. His philosophy for running a department is lead by example. He doesn’t ask his staff to do anything he wouldn’t do and treats others with respect. “As simple as this sounds, it has served me very well.” He believes in passing on his knowledge and supporting town department heads. “My goal as a provider of legal services within the town government is to do it in a way that assures all of the people who have to run these departments are themselves successful. Because if I can do things for them by way of legal advice and guidance that allows them to be successful, then I am successful and accordingly the town is also successful.” While he has an open door policy for all departments, he always makes time for police officers who must frequently make decisions on cases quickly. “I believe that police departments can unfortunately be a source of extremely expensive liability to the municipal government if wrong or bad things happen and I have always tried to strive to ensure that all of the police officers and supervisors are equipped with the kind of legal knowledge they need to avoid the problems that you occasionally and unfortunately see.”

Tonto Basin proudly puts patriotism on parade

Michele Nelson/Roundup

Participants in the Tonto Basin Veterans Day Parade included random cactus, veterans, Jeeps and horses. BY

MICHELE NELSON

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

Each year on Veterans Day, people from near and far line the main drag in front of Punkin’ Center in Tonto Basin to watch floats, vehicles, horses and the annual Jeep pulling Private Joe Hardt crouched on top of a trailer, rifle in hand, cigar taped onto the statue’s mouth, drive by.

Girls wear patriotic ribbons and dress. One man showed up with a shirt that looked like a flag. Even the dogs dressed up in red, white and blue, many with ribbons or dog sweaters to complete the ensemble. “Veterans Day in Tonto Basin has been an all-day party for 20 years,” said parade announcer Walter Duke.

That festive atmosphere cheered Las Hanar, a Korean War vet who fought from 1951 to 1955. He just lost his brother, a World War II vet. Hanar retired from the Navy in 1959, and says he’s come to the parade for 15 of the 16 years he has lived in Tonto Basin. A twinkle in his eye, he told an amusing story from his days on a

tanker in Korea. “We fueled aircraft carriers,” he said. “While we were fueling one we were supposed to go around an island. I thought we should separate, but the admiral of the carrier said, ‘No, let’s go around together.’ He took off and we got pulled along.” Hanar said when they finally got around the island, he and his

shipmates got on their hands and knees to give thanks for surviving the rough trip. “We were happy to be OK, but that admiral got chewed out,” said Hanar with a smile on his lips. A party like the one Tonto Basin throws for its vets helps them to find their place in society after the ravages of war.

But the parade also had its solemn moments, such as the reading of a soldier’s prayer, by John F. Kennedy. “Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival of liberty.”

Children’s voices, heroic service illuminate Veterans Day BY

ROUNDUP EDITOR

John Randolph Colbert survived the wounds he received in a hail of machine gun fire in 1944 as he fought his way into Germany. He shed his blood to end the murderous reign of Adolph Hitler, who unleashed World War II that killed perhaps 85 million people. Wayne Lewis took grenade shrapnel in his leg in the frozen wastes of North Korea, in a littleremembered, lethal effort to save South Korea and prevent communism from sweeping through Asia. That war led to the deaths of an estimated 1.2 million people. Harry Offerman led a reconnaissance team deep into enemy territory during the Vietnam war and was shot through the shoulder in a fierce firefight. He was among the veterans who fought in a wrenching conflict that deeply divided the nation, which all too often scorned its returning veterans. That war killed somewhere between 1.1 million and 3.8 million people. Rodney Cronk won a Bronze Star for heroic actions during the invasion of Kuwait, having also served in the brief campaign against Panama. The U.S. led effort to free Kuwait and contain Saddam Hussein shattered the dictator’s 650,000-man army in a week. After leaving the Army, Cronk became a Gila County Sheriff’s Deputy. Staff Sgt. Matthew Binney won a Silver Star in Afghanistan after heroically leading a patrol that directed air support and artillery fire to save a surrounded Army unit, then withstood a fierce attack from Taliban fighters. Shot twice, Binney continued to direct the patrol, devastating the attacking Taliban. These five Rim Country veterans provided the tearful emotional highlight to Payson’s celebration of Veterans Day, which drew a sometimes somber, sometimes delighted crowd of veterans who

have fought in every major conflict since World War II. The impressive lineup of men who risked their lives and shed blood for their country provided a graphic illustration of the price the nation’s veterans have paid in conflicts large and small. But the Payson Elementary School kindergartners who sang a rousing series of patriotic songs demonstrated most clearly what those veterans risked so much to protect. The children sang with joyful hearts, brimming with energy and enthusiasm. They even articulated the words to the songs with astonishing clarity and heart — matching the words with hand motions and tip of the toe bounces that brought tears once again to the eyes of veterans who had seen the worst of war, sitting now quietly in the Payson High School Auditorium savoring the best of peace. One veteran who maintained jets in the Korean War later said one of the children came up to him, asked if he were a veteran, then handed him a laboriously printed letter. The letter read:

“Dear Veteran: Thank you for our country. I hope that you are alive. I am sad over your sacrifice. But we can be safe and I’m thankful that some gave their lives for us. When I see the American flag, I feel safe. Your friend, Jax. That spirit of gratitude and courage pervaded the morning’s ceremonies, starting with the children’s voices, continuing through speeches by the Payson mayor, chief of police and fire chief, the patriotic songs by the Payson Choral Society and the rousing renditions of the service songs as the veterans stood to receive applause. The presentations ended with the haunting playing of “Amazing Grace” and “Taps.” Vietnam War combat veteran Jim Muir’s brief summary of the service of the veterans on the stage from each of the nation’s conflicts since 1940 represented a new and compelling element in this year’s presentation. Muir read from the Silver Star citation for Binney, a medical sergeant for Special Forces Operational Detachment Alpha 765 in Operation Enduring

Freedom in June 2006 in Afghanistan, in the opening phases of what has proved the nation’s longest war. The nation’s professional army has been strained with the duration of the conflicts in Afghanistan, with soldiers separated from their families for years at a time for repeated tours. On this day, Binney led a squad of nine Afghani soldiers along with a U.S. Army Embedded Tactical Trainer (ETT) and an interpreter. They provided fire support for an Army unit making a raid on a Taliban compound in Kandahar Province to capture or kill Taliban leaders. The assault team quickly cleared the compound, only to find themselves under a furious counter attack by a much larger force. Binney directed heavy fire on the attacking forces, blunting their advance and protecting the now surrounded assault force. The Taliban turned their fire on Binney’s isolated force. Binney and his men “reacted with furious fire in several directions and employed hand grenades at extremely close ranges, killing

Five Rim Country veterans were highlighted at Payson’s Veterans Day ceremonies on Tuesday. Payson Elementary School kindergartners’ patriotic songs were part of the program. many of the enemy,” according to the citation. The Taliban closed to within 50 feet, yelling insults and threats at the Afghani soldiers with Binney. Exposed as he hurled a grenade, a bullet struck Binney in the back of the head, knocking him down and momentarily leaving him blind and deaf. As he regained his vision, he returned to cover, refused medical attention and resumed directing the actions of the patrol, with the enemy now within 30 feet. As the patrol maneuvered to flank their attackers, a rocket-propelled grenade seriously wounded the ETT. Still bleeding from his head wound, Binney dragged his wounded comrade to cover — in the open and exposed to enemy fire. A burst of machine gun fire destroyed his M4 carbine and shattered his left shoulder and upper arm. Although gravely wounded, “he continued encouraging the members of his element and directed their fire as they became the target of an even heavier fusillade of

machine gun and rocket-propelled grenade fire,” said the citation. Binney gave the radio to the interpreter and calmly helped call for supporting fire and reinforcements. When the relief force arrived and drove off the Taliban, Binney insisted the air evac helicopter take the wounded ETT. He walked back with his unit, despite his three bullet wounds. “Sergeant Binney’s courageous actions and determined spirit not only prevented his small element from being overrun, captured or destroyed, but decisively engaged and eliminated enemy forces who could have joined the assault on the beleaguered unit defending the compound.” Binney stood looking diffident and embarrassed as everyone rose in the auditorium to offer the fifth round of standing applause for the veterans on the stage — and scattered throughout the audience. He offered a shy smile, then returned abashedly to his seat — hoping perhaps that the children would sing again.

Julia Randall Elementary School celebrated Veterans Day with a flag raising conducted by 14 veterans in uniform at an assembly held Monday, Nov. 10. The color guard included at least two veterans who had earned Purple Hearts. The whole student body turned out to observe the ceremony as the student choir sang the “Star Spangled Banner.” The students then observed a moment of silence in honor of the veterans, including the children and husbands of several teachers who are currently deployed. The ceremony gave the students a chance to express their heartfelt appreciation for those who have served the nation to defend its freedoms.

JAWS OF LIFE NEEDED TO REMOVE THREE FROM VEHICLE CRASH Working in the narrow median, Payson firefighters pulled out the Jaws of Life Wednesday afternoon to get three people out of a vehicle that had been sideswiped. A teenage girl in a minivan reportedly struck the GMC SUV heading southbound on the Beeline Highway when she pulled out of the Giant gas station off East Aero Drive, said Sam Garcia, acting fire captain. The side of the GMC was badly crunched, trapping three older adults inside. They were taken to the hospital with minor injuries. Alexis Bechman/Roundup

Schools struggle to implement student test From page 1A For the moment, Arizona has adopted the bulk of the national standards, but until this year didn’t have an assessment test based on those standards. The AzMERIT test should dovetail with the new standards. Student performance on the new tests will have a tremendous impact on the district. Teacher salaries and school funding will depend to an increasing degree on the scores. So will the state ratings each school receives. Payson Unified School District Student Achievement Director Brenda Case said the Arizona Department of Education (ADE) will allow a grace period before those serious consequences kick in. “In December, the state board is planning to make decisions about how the results of the AzMERIT will be used for various accountability purposes including A-F school letter grades, teacher and principal evaluations, Move On When Reading, and the potential use of End-Of-Course results in high school course

grades. The board is expected to discuss the establishment of a ‘safe harbor’ year for accountability measures.” This spring, grades 3-8 and high school sophomores, will be the first classes to take the new test. So far, the test will only measure reading, writing and math, based on the Common Core standards already adopted by the state. Science will still be tested under AIMS. In a brief public meeting last week, the ADE announced that the American Institutes for Research, a 57-year-old not-for-profit organization, created the test. However, the State of Arizona will control the design, content, scoring and reporting of the AzMERIT. A press release from the ADE assured that Arizona educators will be intimately involved in all processes of the test. But the biggest challenge for districts? Students are supposed to take the test online, with a system to continuously track changes over time and identify problem areas. Case said the test will be given once a year

for grades 3-8, but in high school, the test will be given repeatedly at the end of each language arts and math course. “The high school students will take End-OfCourse assessments at the end of each of the designated courses (9th, 10th, 11th grade English Language Arts/literacy courses and Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra 2) to measure mastery of the standards taught in that course,” she wrote in an email. Unfortunately, Payson Unified School District (PUSD) simply does not have enough computers or band-width to take the test this year, said Director of Technology Joni de Szendeffy at the Oct. 27 meeting. Case said PUSD has not been given its ‘technology readiness color code’ from the state. “This is a level of readiness assigned based on a technology survey that was completed late last month,” she said. But Case went on to say that the ADE has a plan to offer a testing platform that would work even with the district’s limited bandwidth.

Industrial park developer may seek agreement From page 1A cil will eventually approve the zone change and development plan. The pre-annexation development agreement gives Antich a way to cancel the annexation if the town rejects his planned industrial park. The agreement can specify a whole list of things, including the permitted uses of the property; density, maximum height and size of buildings; use of land for public purposes and provisions to protect environmentally sensitive land; construction timing and all other matters relating to the property’s development. The agreement goes into effect once the town completes the annexation and Antich and the town can by mutual consent amend or cancel the agreement. This is the first time Payson has drafted a pre-annexation development agreement, but other communities have used them before, said Wright. Several residents questioned any plan to develop an industrial park in a remote area a mile away from water and sewer lines. In a letter to the Roundup, Antich said he

plans to build a 100,000-square-foot “modern campus, equipped with clean, lean and green manufacturing equipment. The expansion will add 150 sustainable manufacturing careers including research, engineering and training professionals.” ATAC currently manufactures 100 million rounds of ammunition in a 20,000-square-foot plant near the Payson Industrial Park by the airport. ATAC has outgrown the facility though and wants 80 to 100 acres of vacant, flat land to build an additional facility for ATAC and other ancillary, not-yet-named businesses. Antich reportedly tried to buy land near the airport, but when the deal fell through, he started looking around at other states for expansion. Wright explained a pre-annexation development agreement does not circumvent the rezoning process. A site plan will likely come before the P&Z commission for review and its recommendation to the council on the industrial rezoning. The council will then hold two public hearings on the rezoning. Wright expects the rezoning hearings will

happen before May, but does not yet have a timeline. Several residents worried they will miss those meetings. Wright said the town would post notices of the meetings on its website and residents can also sign up for meeting email alerts. Resident Carol McCauley said she wants to see what ATAC plans to do with the property. Resident Mike Wicks said putting an ammunition plant out in the forest clearly does not fit the recently passed General Plan. Years ago, when a dry cleaning business contaminated the ground water, the town decided to move industrial zoning to the airpark to prevent a future problem. He urged the commission to recommend to the council that they keep the property residential. Commission Chair Jeff Loyd said while the town appears to be going about the annexation and rezoning legally, residents need more information. He said the commission does not know a lot of what is going on and a lot of the information is hearsay. “I think it is out of the norm how this is happening,” Loyd said.

Phillice Kinman

(2014)

(1927-2014)

Pine resident, E. Dennis Crosby, passed away early Wednesday morning, Nov. 12, 2014, in Payson Regional Medical Center after recurring health complications caused his heart to stop. He was 78 years old. Dennis, as he was known by his friends, was new to the area, having moved here 2-1/2 years ago, with his sister, from Colorado. Mr. Crosby was a native of Warren, Pa., where he was born, and St. Marys, Pa., where he lived and went to school. After graduation, his family moved to North Olmsted (Cleveland) Ohio, and as soon as he could, he went to Lorain, Ohio, where he enlisted in the U.S. Navy. Once through boot camp in Great Lakes, Mich., he was assigned to VF-142, Carrier Air Group 14, which went to sea on the USS Boxer CVA-21. At first, he was stationed at North Island near San Diego, Calif., but wound up sailing to Yokusha, Japan. Daily duties were pretty dull — swabbing the deck, working on the aircraft, but during his weekend leaves, he would go sightseeing around the islands with his buddy, Smitty. He rented a taxi and went to Yokahama and Tokyo, checking out areas of local color, especially Hiroshima and the Imperial Palace. He also visited Osaka, where he toured Osaka Castle, Kobe and Iwakune, typical Japanese towns, and met a lot of great people while he was there. After seven months on the USS Boxer, his unit and he were assigned to the USS Hornet CV-12. After a 10-month cruise, to such exotic ports as Guam and Manila, he transferred to FASRON 8, NAS Alameda in northern California. Weekends off were spent tooling around Oakland and The City, which is what the locals call San Francisco, with his buddy Larry, who wanted to see as many of the tourist traps as he did. As expected, they got into the kind of trouble that most enlisted guys get into when they’re turned loose in a big city! They were lucky that they never wound up in the brig! Upon his discharge he relocated to Cudahy, Calif., where he lived for about a year, then moved to Maywood, Calif. where he lived for about 40 years. During that time he worked as a draftsman

for several companies, for a total of approximately 30 years. When his last company, IMC Magnetics, relocated to Tucson, Ariz. he opted to remain in L.A., since he knew that the temperatures in the desert would be too hot and dry for him. After about two years of fruitless job hunting, he found work as a security guard for Command Security in Buena Park, Calif. which lasted about 10 years. In 2001, he moved to Golden, Colo., to live with his sister, Carrie, but it wasn’t long before they moved west to the resort town of Durango, which is in the southwestern corner of Colorado. He had already retired (at the age of 62) so hunting for a job in this very limited job market didn’t give him a bit of trouble. He was able to kick back and relax, take long walks along the county road he lived on and, when he would get the time and money, he and his sister would take a picnic lunch and go for long drives in the San Juan Mountains and visit some of the ghost towns that dot the back country. There are a lot of old gold and silver mining towns tucked away in the mountains there and, although he had been to a number of them, there were still quite a few that he hadn’t made it to yet. One of his favorite hobbies was to go wildlife hunting, with the camera, of course. Being a former photographer in L.A., there were several herds of elk that wintered down in the valley, along with mule deer, black bear, bighorn sheep and mountain lions that were very photo-worthy. To Dennis, it was almost like being back home in Pennsylvania! Back in 2012, after a third stroke almost ended his life, he and his sister moved once again, this time to Pine, Ariz., where he had wanted to live for many years. They found a house off the main highway, on a cul-de-sac, that afforded him the opportunity to see more of the wildlife he loved so much. He was finally home to stay. He is survived by his sister, Carrie, who will be holding an intimate get-together at their house to celebrate Dennis’ life. The date for this is yet to be determined. He will be missed.

Phillice Kinman was born Dec. 24, 1927 in Montreal, Canada and died Nov. 11, 2014 in Payson, Ariz. at the age of 86. As she goes to her eternal home, she will be greatly missed by her many friends and her church family. A Celebration of Life Memorial Service is planned for 2 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 20 at Payson First Assembly next to Green Valley Park.

But the north proved as powerful as ever this year, with Page winning both the girls and boys titles, and Fort Defiance, Window Rock, Chinle and Ganado making it a northern sweep of the top four places in the girls race. Chinle also finished second in the boys race, while Tuba City placed third. Seven of the top nine girls teams represent Section 1, with Cottonwood Mingus finishing sixth, Flagstaff Coconino eighth and Holbrook ninth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The north section was as strong as any year that I have seen,â&#x20AC;? said Payson coach Jonathan Ball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were fantastic. With all of the teams from the north running their best right now, (this race) was by far the best field we had run in all year. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the way a state championship is supposed to be.â&#x20AC;? So the Longhornsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; three individual girls qualifiers had their work cut out for them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Going into the race I was worried how our three runners were going to respond being in such a deep and talented field,â&#x20AC;? Ball said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had spoke with the girls about

trying to crack into the top half of the field â&#x20AC;&#x201D; top 75 would be great for where we are right now.â&#x20AC;? Freshman Kyra Ball easily managed that, placing 52nd in 22:17. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought Kyra ran her best race of the season by far,â&#x20AC;? said her coach and father. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It seems as if Kyra loves big races with a lot of people. She was able to stick in the Mingus pack and ran ahead of the Fountain Hills pack. When you really break down the results and compare them to our Section 3, you see just how well she ran. She was the eighth Section 3 runner to cross the finish line, whereas the week before at sectionals she took 15th. She beat every Fountain Hills girl and (at sectionals the previous week) there were four in front of her. And, where last week there were six Tempe girls in front of her, this week there were only three. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited to see what the future holds for Kyra.â&#x20AC;? PHSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two other qualifiers, juniors Anna Schouten (95th in 23:57) and Megan Porter (102nd in 24:12) also ran well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anna had been fighting sickness all week with a head cold and congestion, and even though she was not 100 percent at all she showed improvement over last year when she came in 117th running 24:09,â&#x20AC;? coach Ball said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To gain 22 places over her performance last year while she was fighting off sickness was pretty impressive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was also really happy with what Megan did. I had never seen Megan more nervous than she was at that starting line. Once the starting gun went off she settled down and was able to run a competitive race.â&#x20AC;? The coach is looking forward to seeing what all three runners can accomplish next fall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The good news is all three girls are going to be coming back next year and will be able to build upon their experience from this season,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have some really solid pieces in place for next year. The season that

Kyra, Anna and Megan had was very positive, and when you add in a healthy Abby Greenleaf, with MacKenzie Mann, who took this season off, but says sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming back, along with a few

eighth-grade girls from the seventh-eighth-grade team that won their middle school championships, the future looks very bright for the Lady Longhorn harriers.â&#x20AC;?

The crowd noise came from where Sun Devil fans gathered to watch the game against Notre Dame. The emotions ranged from wild exuberance to nervous anticipation as the Irish were, in the end, overwhelmed. The 8-1 Devils travel to Oregon State for a Saturday night game at 8:30 p.m. and we will again gather to root them onward.

The county issued the warning on Oct. 29 telling residents to stay a safe distance from any wildlife and keep pets close on a leash. There are unconfirmed reports of a hunter killing a mountain lion in the Tonto Basin area that tested positive for rabies. Because he handled the remains, he has been treated with rabies inoculations. The rabies warning advises residents to not attempt to feed, approach or touch wild animals, live or dead.

Amazing to read thoughts of our predecessors I was reading Agatha Christie’s delightfully well-written autobiography when I came across something that really surprised me. She was talking about how much fun it is to write detective stories, saying, “One of the pleasures ... is that there are so many types to choose from: the light-hearted-thriller ... the intricate detective story with an involved plot ... and then what I can only describe as the detective story that has a lot of passion behind it — the passion being to save innocence.” I nodded my head, thinking it must be fun to write detective stories. But I was entirely unprepared for what she said next. “Because it is innocence that matters, not guilt. I think [those who kill] are evil for the community; they bring in nothing except hate, and take away from it all they can. I am willing to believe that they are born with a disability for which one should pity them; but even then I think you [can’t] spare them anymore than they could spare a man who staggered out of a plague-stricken town in the Middle Ages. The innocent must be protected; they must be able to live at peace and charity with their YOUR TURN neighbours.” What struck me most — I once said almost the exact same thing, in almost the exact same words, in a paper during my senior year of high school. But what really floored me was that she sug- Tom Garrett gested the exact same solution that I had suggested. “The best answer we ever found, I suspect, was transportation, a vast land of emptiness, people with only primitive beings, where man could live in simpler surroundings.” I thought I was the only one who had ever suggested that since criminals think differently from us we should set aside an island for them and let them live the way they want to live. Is it a good idea? Well, I’d sleep a whole lot better at night knowing we had shipped off the people who couldn’t live by the reasonable rules of society, had been given a fair chance to straighten out, and had made it plain they weren’t going to. Let them be crooked and evil all they want — with each other, not us! What struck me was how often you and I fall into the trap of thinking that our modern ideas are so different from the ideas of people who lived before us — especially the ancients. I don’t make a habit of reading the works of the ancients. On the other hand, I’ve come across a few comments that have been attributed to the ancients that tell me they often thought the same way you and I do. Want to hear a couple of things I’ve read, Johnny? I heard of the first of the ancients I’m going to quote — Democritus — because one of my first college courses pointed out that way back before 370 B.C. he formulated the “atomic theory of the universe,” saying that everything is made of atoms, and that between the atoms there lies empty space. That’s quite a feat for someone who lived that long ago, but you know what really impressed me when I took time out to read a few things he said? Check this out: “Happiness resides not in possessions; happiness dwells in the soul.” I couldn’t have said it that well, but it sure says how I feel about things. It’s OK to want things, and to try to get them, but I don’t think greed ever made anyone happy. A few other ancients have said things that struck me. Here’s something I read when I was just 21 years old, stationed up in Iceland by the Air Force, and browsing through a magazine. I’ve never forgotten it, I thought about it, and I really took it to heart. See what you think of this. It comes from Epictetus, who thought that philosophy shouldn’t just talk about life, but should teach us something. “The key to life is to keep company only with people whose presence calls forth your best.” I think that’s the best advice I ever read! And I know it’s true every time I look at my beloved wife, Lolly. What would I be without her? Not much, I suspect.

Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD;

let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.

Psalms 95:1 (NIV)

All dog lovers do for their pooches I swear, on any given day, there must be at least 200 canine enthusiasts walking their pooches in Green Valley Park. Every now and then, I’ll see someone that I don’t recognize, but for the most part, it seems that it’s a regular dog-walking crew that treks along the half-mile concrete path around our urban lake. By far, early morning walkers seem to out-number both the after dinner and noontime hikers. One of the really fascinating things I’ve noticed about this friendly-as-all-get-out dogwalking crowd is that even though the humans may not know the names of all of the other humans they meet and greet along their daily walks, most don’t seem to have any trouble remembering the names of the other owner’s dog(s). One of the afternoon dog walkers who frequents Green Valley Park on a regular basis is Payson resident Flo Bird. She and Baxter, her lovable Boston terrier, have been taking daily walks at the park since Flo adopted him from a veterinary clinic 10 years ago, just hours before Baxter was scheduled for euthanasia. Not so long ago, we “park people” noticed that Baxter had really begun to slow down. “It was just about a year ago that Baxter could no longer make the walk all the way around the lake,” said Flo. “Over the past 12 DJ Craig photo months, his walking time had gotten less and less and his rest periods had grown much Flo Bird “walks” her rescued Boston terrier, Baxter, around the big lake at Green Valley longer.

To all Canadians out there, we love to have you in our beautiful Rim Country, but please leave your Canadian money at home. Our vending machines reject them and won’t accept them. Anniversaries

KEITH MORRIS

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

While many businesses have closed their doors over the past decade, Scott Moody’s been opening new ones. Payson resident opened SmartSystems Inc. in April of 2004 as a computer repair and sales business also focusing on solving information technology (I.T.)-related issues for businesses and individuals. He started off operating out of a bedroom in his house for the first three years before graduating to a 200-square-foot office. A year later, he moved into a 1,000-square-foot office. Over the years, steady growth allowed him to hire six additional employees and the company recently relocated to an 1,800-square foot office. SmartSystems celebrates its 10th anniversary with a grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony from 3-8 p.m. on Nov. 21, with official ribbon cutting at 4:30, in its new location at 201 W. Main St., Suite D in the Sawmill Crossing next to Printing By George. The event features refreshments, music and door prizes, and anyone touring the new facility will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a Microsoft Surface tablet. In addition computer repair, SmartSystems also supports several businesses in the area with managed

I.T. service. “A lot of small businesses contract with us to take care of routers, servers, software, data back up and security,” he said. “We make sure businesses stay up and running, accessible, secure and recoverable in case of disaster. “We have a lot of clients, from doctors, lawyers, realtors, restaurants, retail stores, and we take care of schools, fire departments, other municipalities, the sanitary district, and nonprofits such as Central Arizona Humane Society, the Payson Senior Center and the Mogollon Health Alliance.” A rocky economy may have adversely affected many businesses, but SmartSystems managed to keep growing with customers throughout Rim Country and Central Arizona, as well as the valley and northern parts of the state. “Business is pretty steady,” Moody said. “It’s computers and people have got to have I.T. to do their job.” Although this company weathered the financial storm, many of his customers haven’t been as lucky. “The hardest part of (the recession) was helping clients having a rough time, working with those who were struggling themselves, making sure their cost wasn’t too high and putting them out of business,” he said. “That was the challenging part of that.” Moody said SmartSystems doesn’t just work on computers. “Bring in your phone if you’re having software issues — anything computer technology related, and we’ll repair it,” he said. The first office he moved into was

The SmartSystems team includes (left to right) Joseph Paul, Alex Slatalla, Maureen Garlausky, Jeremy Guyer, Michelle Jackson, Cory Sadowski and owner Scott Moody. located across the parking lot from the business’s new location and featured 1,000 square feet of floor space. “I can look out and see it from where we’re at now,” he said of that office. “Our last store was OK when we moved into it, but we outgrew it. We’ve doubled our footprint.”

Moody worked for a medical I.T. company in the valley before meeting his wife, Tauna, who’s lived in Payson most of her life and is the company vice president. He said the rapid developments inherent in the field make running an I.T. business both interesting and

rewarding. “Business is great, and constantly changing due to the blazing speed of the evolution of information technology,” Moody said. SmartSystems offers free diagnostic service. For questions, call (928) 4687400.

Payson Home Depot employees pitched into refurbish the Rim Country American Legion Hall in honor of Veterans Day. The Home Depot fix-up experts donated their time and skills after store manager David Kane got a $9,000 grant from the hardware store chain. The Home Depot has in the past several years donated $30 million to fix up veterans’ homes and facilities, deploying thousands of volunteer employees to do the work.

Here are just two of the wonderful pets currently available for adoption at the HSCAZ shelter. All pets are already spayed or neutered and current on vaccinations.

This is Chairman Meow! He’s a typical little kitten who loves to play and get into general kitty mischief. He loves to talk, so if you want a playmate who can also carry on a conversation, he’s your kitty! Chairman loves playtime and would benefit in a kitten-savvy household.

I am an energetic, bouncy girl who loves to play. I enjoy romping around with dog friends and getting to go out to the yard so I can explore all the different smells! I enjoy the company of people; a good scratch behind the ear is always nice. I would do best with older kids who can handle my style of play! Other than humans, I love to play with another dog that can keep up with me all day long; after all I am lively like a puppy! Some basic training would do me good!

MMA cage fights Saturday Former PHS athletes to battle in title bouts Popular mixed martial arts cage fighting returns to Rim Country on Saturday night with a 15-fight card highlighted by a pair of title bouts featuring former Payson High athletes. Promoter Heath Bebout brings his All Powers Combat show to the Tonto Apache Recreation Center, with doors opening at 6 p.m. and fights starting at 7. General admission tickets are $25 and cage-side seats go for $50. Seats are available for purchase at www.allpowerscombat.com or at the door. It’s the 12th show in Payson for the promotion company based out of Chandler and started by Payson Jujitsu fighters Bebout and Wyatt Shepherd in 2007. The last show took place in April of 2013. “This is our anniversary show,” said Bebout, who resides in Chandler but also has a home in Payson. “We’re going on four years strong, but close to seven years overall. So we’re pretty excited.” The final two fights of the evening feature four former Longhorn athletes battling for championship glory. Taylor Walden takes on Waylon Quotskuyva for the light heavyweight (205 pounds) title and Bobby Gonzales meets Oshay Chovanec for the welterweight (170) crown.
