The trial for a murder suspect accused of also trying to kill three sheriff’s deputies during a highspeed chase near Roosevelt Lake last year continues this week. Gabriel R. “Gaby” Jaramillo, 58, is charged with attempted first-degree murder of a police officer after reportedly either shooting at or trying to run down Gila County Sheriff’s Office deputies Thoreina Hensley, Thor Nudson and Sgt. John France. In a lengthy report, more than a dozen officers offered accounts of the Aug. 25 high-speed chase from Globe to the lake, where Jaramillo fled into the desert. He hid for five days before surrendering. Hensley wrote that she saw a muzzle flash and then heard a pop coming from Jaramillo’s truck as he passed her squad car. Nudson recounted the frightening moment he realized he was alone with Jaramillo on the Indian Point boat ramp, the other officers far behind. As Jaramillo sped toward him

So, Gila County finally feels some of the effects of sequestration — and what gets hit? The schools. Gila County has asked Superintendent of Schools Linda O’Dell to cut by 10 percent the federal forest fee money she has already promised school districts as a result of the automatic federal spending cuts forced by sequestration. The decision could cost the Payson Unified School District as much as $38,000. Every spring, O’Dell recom-

More than 250 kids — from 2 to 102 — turned out for the Seventh Annual Fishing Festival at Green Valley Park Saturday. The family spring celebration filled about every parking spot around Payson’s crown jewel attraction at the end of Historic West Main Street. This year the festival was a cooperative effort of the Optimist and Rotary Clubs; the Payson Parks, Recreation and Tourism Department; the Arizona Game and Fish Department; Trout Unlimited; Scoops; and DJ Craig. Representatives from the Arizona Game and Fish Department and Trout Unlimited provided fishing clinics to help people begin or to improve fishing skills. The popular silent auction and raffle returned. A robot, one of the top prizes, was returned by the winner, Mr. Fisa, for next year’s event. Sharon Shields won the raffle’s top prize, a silver sterling necklace with a peridot donated by Overman Designs. Otis McFadden won the Diamondbacks tickets donated by Don and Pat Heizer.

Valley officials are investigating what led a Payson woman to reportedly drive her vehicle into a bicyclist and then a truck, killing two people last week in northeast Mesa. Marie Blandford, 73, of Payson, reportedly struck Clare Louis Kirby, 46, of Mesa, as she rode her bicycle in the area of Bush Highway and Usery Pass Wednesday. Blandford left the scene and minutes later struck William Phillips, 72, in his SUV near the intersection of Ellsworth and McKellips. Both Kirby and Phillips died on scene. Blandford reportedly remains in stable condition at Scottsdale Healthcare Osborn. Payson residents expressed shock upon learning Blandford was involved in the tragedy. A neighbor, who asked to remain anonymous, said Blandford was a kind, sweet woman who was always neatly dressed. The neighbor said she frequently saw Blandford at the mailbox and although they were not close, she

knew Blandford had a stroke last year and continued to have mini-strokes. When the person saw a picture of the car involved in the accident last week on TV, she instantly feared Blandford was involved because she drives a similar neon-green Kia Soul. Blandford had traded in her Subaru for the boxy Soul some time ago, the neighbor said. “I know she would be devastated if she knew what she had done, knowing her,” the neighbor said. After her stroke last year, Blandford had turned down a spot on the homeowners association board, the neighbor said. Blandford later told her she continued to have transient ischemic attacks (TIA), or mini-strokes. Police have not said whether they think Blandford had an attack at the time or what other factors may have been involved. A search of the Roundup’s archives revealed Blandford wrote a letter to the editor in 2011 supporting the then-manager of the local Humane Society thrift shop. A person close to the Humane Society said Blandford was an generous financial donor.

starts with the board-adopted priority list, then allocates money based on whether a program will advance those priorities — starting with student achievement. For instance, he said, lots of the research shows that all-day kindergarten will do more to improve test scores for the K-2 Payson Elementary School than anything else. Therefore, restoring the all-day kindergarten eliminated by the Legislature two years ago ought to rank as a top priority when it comes time for the district

The Payson School Board on Tuesday decided not to renew Payson High School Athletic Director Don Heizer’s administrative contract, but Heizer will actually continue to direct the athletic program under the terms of a teaching contract instead. Next school year, Heizer will receive a certified contract similar to what he had as a longtime counselor at the high school. He currently operates under an administrative contract that he received last year when he was hired as the high school’s AD. Heizer said the change was made to clear the way to hire a Payson High School assistant principal. Principal Anna Van Zile last year pushed for Heizer to get the second administrative slot for the high school, offering to do without a vice principal for a year. She had hoped that the high school would have the money this year to return to having three full-time administrators on the high school campus, including a vice principal and an administrator in charge of all the extracurricular activities — including athletics. Those programs now all depend on community donations. Heizer says his duties and responsibilities will remain the same and his goal to “culturally restructure the athletic department” will continue.

Attempted murder trial gets under way From page 1A head-on, Nudson fired three times through his own vehicle’s window in defense. France’s report details the 20 to 25 rounds he fired at Jaramillo’s truck. Investigators believe those shots disabled Jaramillo’s truck, forcing him to flee into the desert. The chase started in Globe when officers attempted to pull Jaramillo over for questioning. An Eagar police detective tracking Jaramillo recognized the stolen truck he was driving near the intersection of Miami Avenue and Live Oak Street. The truck belonged to Steve Long, 47, of Eagar, whose body mushroom hunters had discovered in Apache County sometime earlier. Jaramillo, who officers believed might have had an AK-47 assault rifle, was wanted in connection for Long’s death. He has been charged with that murder and related charges as well.

protect himself he raised his gun in one hand and held the wheel with the other hand. As Jaramillo’s truck passed, Nudson fired three times. Later, Hensley thought Jaramillo would kill her as he passed. She reported seeing a muzzle flash. She ducked and hit her head on her radio console. France also recounted seeing a muzzle flash as Jaramillo passed. France said he fired upwards of 25 rounds at the truck. Later, detectives counted 17 bullet holes in the truck, two in the radiator. Several days after Jaramillo fled into the desert, boaters discovered him on the north shore, thirsty and dirty. Officers arrested him without incident. They never found any weapons. Long was reportedly killed with a .22-caliber bullet. A witness told police he had been with Jaramillo several days before Long was killed and Jaramillo had a .22-caliber long rifle on him, according to the police report.

in Globe, officers tried to pull him over. Jaramillo pulled into the bike lane as though he intended to stop but then sped off, according to the police report. Officers gave chase as Jaramillo quickly picked up speed, driving erratically through Globe-Miami traffic. Speeds topped 100 mph as Jaramillo raced down Highway 188. One deputy wrote that Jaramillo attempted to sideswipe him several times. But nothing seemed to deter Jaramillo. Even after striking a tree, crashing through a wash and drawing fire from officers, Jaramillo continued his desperate flight. When Jaramillo reached the Indian Point boat ramp on the northeast side of the lake, he seemingly had nowhere else to run. “It appeared the suspect and I were the only persons at the boat ramp,” Nudson said in the police report. Jaramillo turned the Toyota Tundra around and drove head-on toward Nudson, who threw his patrol vehicle in reverse. He said that to

mends how the supervisors should divide up the forest fees money the federal government gives to rural districts whose property taxes are stunted by the huge amount of untaxed federal land in the district. O’Dell’s formula allocates a chunk of money to her office then hands out the rest based on enrollment and how much forest land surrounds a district. O’Dell based the money she promised local districts this year on the 2012 federal budget, which sequestration in theory does not affect. However, when the automatic sequester cuts took effect a month ago after Congress and the White House failed to agree, the county decided to play it safe. “I was asked to hold on to part of the distribution in case the county has to give the federal government money back due to sequestration,” said O’Dell. Congress established the forest fees at the turn of the century when the federal government took millions of acres of land to manage. The government offered to pay the states with fees gathered from graz-

ing, mining and logging permits. In the east where most land remains in private hands, local government can count on much larger property tax collections for roads, schools and other services. However, a decline in logging and grazing on federal lands in the west in the past several decades has squeezed the revenues that once provided the money for the forest fees payment. Congressmen from eastern states whose school districts didn’t get forest fee payments gradually turned against the program. “It’s east versus west,” O’Dell said. She has no idea if Gila County or any other western state will ever see forest fees again. She hopes that the challenge works out this year and she can eventually distribute the 10 percent she will set aside for a worstcase scenario. “The first distribution will be 10 percent less, but I hope to have a second distribution before the end of the year.” Maybe the Payson Unified School District board had some premonition of the troubles ahead. The board voted to give staff a $750 bonus instead of a $1,000 bonus at the end of last year based on the forest fees O’Dell will distribute this year.

Payson High School students practice for a performance of the musical “Beauty and the Beast,” which they will perform on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the high school auditorium.

Schools ponder priority-based budgeting From page 1A to adopt a budget. “What drives all of the districts in Arizona should be student achievement,” said Hitchcock. Gov. Jan Brewer’s proposed budget would for the first time link an ever-increasing share of the district’s funding to student test scores. Additional mandates will require districts to link teacher pay and promotions to test scores. Hitchcock said in the past, the district started by estimating how much money it will get from property taxes, bond issues and the state — then decided what to add or cut. Instead, the district should start by prioritizing programs based on how they’ll affect student achievement then use that list to allocate funding. “We need more resources to implement research-based best practices,” he said, like all-day kindergarten. “Research shows that full-day kindergarten will move the needle on student achievement. It does not guarantee a student will be successful by the 12th grade, but it will make a difference for student achievement at Payson Elementary School.” But the discussion also illustrated the old adage — “the devil’s in the details,” as Hitchcock presented a long-term staffing plan based on his effort to figure out how many teachers, administrators, classified staff and specialist the district needs, given its particular problems and dwindling enrollment. The formula starts by deciding on average class sizes based on research, he said. Hitchcock then said the “sweet spot” for student achievement based on research includes average class sizes of 20 for grades K-

2, 24 for grades 3-5, 22 for grades 6-8 and 21 for grades 9-12. The district currently has significantly larger class sizes at almost every level. He also calculated how many extra teachers and specialists each school would need for assorted programs, like special education, gifted programs, the arts, advanced placement classes, reading specialists and others. Finally, he included the need for counselors at the high school and middle school, a volunteer coordinator to take advantage of the skills of parents at each school site and a student achievement specialist at each school site, charged with finding ways to boost test scores. He then included all of those calculations in an estimate as to how many teachers and other staff each of the district’s five school sites would need in 2013-14. The calculation assumed a student to fulltime staff ratio of 11.4 students per staff members at Payson Elementary School, 13 to 1 at Julia Randall Elementary, 12.7 to 1 and Rim Country Middle School, 12.1 to 1 at Payson High School and 10.9 to 1 at Payson Center for Success, the small, alternative high school. Run that all together and it works out to 33 fewer full-time positions than at present, based on a variety of assumptions — including continued enrollment decline. The charts generated a wave of confusion around the table, although Hitchcock stressed the number represented a goal over time, based on things like full-day kindergarten shown to improve achievement. “I would think of the staffing level as a trajectory or a glide path where staffing goes up or down in direct proportion to student enrollment,” said Hitchcock. Board member Rory Huff studied the calcu-

lations and wondered why the chart showed that the central office staffing would rise by one to 64 full-time equivalents — with the addition of a computer specialist. By contrast, staffing at the school sites would eventually drop by about 33 — perhaps 14 percent. Hitchcock explained that the formula for the staffing at the school site depends on enrollment, which is declining. But the formulas for administration and transportation and other central office functions don’t necessarily directly reflect enrollment changes. “We’ve got more people employed now” than the formula calls for, said board president Barbara Underwood. “But once someone leaves, we’re going to re-evaluate the position and maybe move someone?” “All we’re saying,” said board member James Quinlan, “is we can do some of it through attrition.” “I did not say that we’re going to replace 30 people next year,” said Hitchcock. “Clearly, our priority is teachers.” “But if we have 30 excess people ...” began board member Shirley Dye. “That’s not what I said,” said Hitchcock gently. “I am already projecting we’re going to lose 60 more students,” dropping enrollment to a 2,366, said Hitchcock. “Now the traditional way of budgeting would be to say — ‘Oh, my. We’re going to lose $200,000. What are we going to cut? I’m saying, stop, set your priorities. Actually, there are more teachers in this prototype than we have there now. If that’s your No. 1 priority, so then what are you going to cut from all the other things? This is a different way of budgeting, instead of just spending the money — you fund a priority.”

OURVIEW

LOOKBACK • April 8, 1916: At the Boulevard Race in Corona, Calif., an early racing car careens into a crowd of spectators, killing the driver and two others. The fatal accident helped encourage organizers to begin holding races on specially built tracks instead of regular streets. • April 10, 1953: The horror film “The House of Wax,” starring Vincent Price, opens at New York’s Paramount Theater. It was the first feature from a major motionpicture studio to be shot using the threedimensional, or stereoscopic, film process, and one of the first horror films to be shot in color. • April 9, 1962: President John F. Kennedy throws out the ceremonial first pitch in Washington D.C.’s new stadium. He continued a long-standing tradition that began in 1910 when President William H. Taft threw out Major League Baseball’s first opening-day pitch in Washington D.C.’s old Griffith Stadium. • April 11, 1970: Apollo 13, the third lunar landing mission, is successfully launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla. After an oxygen tank exploded on the evening of April 13, however, the new mission objective became to get the Apollo 13 crew home alive.

Governor’s plan makes sense A

dvocates for an urgently needed expansion of the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System continue to offer sensible improvements — and critics continue to balk. The most recent improvements in Gov. Jan Brewer’s humane plan to accept federal money to add or maintain some 300,000 people on the AHCCCS rolls goes a long way toward answering the most reasonable objections of the critics. The change that Brewer has proposed would extend coverage to childless, uninsured adults making up to 133 percent of a poverty-level wage. The federal government would pay most of the added cost. Gov. Brewer has proposed a tax on hospitals of up to 6 percent to cover any state cost. Please note, Arizona has one of the highest percentages of uninsured residents in the country. Moreover, most of the state’s hospitals support both the expansion and the tax, knowing it will cut their heavy burden of uncompensated care. Gov. Brewer’s original proposal would have given the AHCCCS director broad authority over the hospital tax. After some lawmakers objected to giving an unelected state official so much power, the governor agreed to language that will sharply limit use of the hospital tax money. The shift adds to the protections included in the original proposal, which includes a provision that would cut eligibility if the federal government ever pays less than 80 percent of the costs of the added AHCCCS population. Gov. Brewer estimates that the expansion will ultimately save the state about $150 million annually and bring in about $1.6 billion in federal money — while undoubtedly saving lives. Opponents in the Legislature continue to stubbornly resist the governor’s sensible proposal. Some say they don’t trust the federal government — never mind the provision to cut the program back if the feds renege. Others say they oppose government-supported health care — although they seem willing to accept Medicare. Rim Country’s own representatives in the Legislature — Sen. Chester Crandell (R-Heber), Rep. Brenda Barton (R-Payson) and Rep. Bob Thorpe (R-Flagstaff) have all signaled their reluctance to vote for the expansion. But we think Gov. Brewer has made her case on both economic and humanitarian grounds. So we hope that our representatives will accept the improvements she has offered and support this urgently needed change.

Help CASA help kids very month in Arizona, the Child Abuse Hotline receives another 2,655 grim calls. Each call comes weighted with tragedy and loss — too often the tale of a strained and broken family. But what can you do in the face of such trouble and pain? Well, actually, quite a lot. You could start by placing a call to the Gila County Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) program, which trains advocates that keep abused and neglected children from getting lost in an overwhelmed system. The most recent auditor’s report concluded that Child Protective Services has a backlog of about 13,000 cases it never actually had time to investigate — up from 10,000 a year ago. Moreover, even when CPS finds the resources to investigate reports and sufficient evidence to remove the child from a dangerous home, the system continues to struggle. Currently, courts have removed 14,000 children from abusive homes and placed them in foster or group homes. That includes about 100 children in Gila County. The Gila County CASA program assigns a trained volunteer to each of those children. The volunteer works with the judge and Child Protective Services to safeguard the interests of that child. Often, the CASA volunteer sticks with that child all through his or her long and confusing court process, providing a vital consistency in that harrowing journey. Such programs offer potentially enormous benefits. According to Department of Economic Security Director Clarence Carter, it costs $11,246 each year to place a child in foster care, some $62,700 in juvenile detention and $40,000 for hospitalization. By contrast, providing preventive care — things like drug and alcohol treatment, parenting help, respite day-care and supportive social services cost more like $3,400, often averting the much more expensive and traumatic interventions. The CASA volunteers can play a vital role in not only protecting children from the trauma and incoherence of the system — but also in helping heal families and even return children to their homes with adequate support. So we hope that you will visit the CASA Web site at www.azcourts.gov/casaofgilacounty/Home.aspx to find out what it takes to become a volunteer.

About the ‘ugly threats’ in Payson EDITOR: Your editorial denouncing bigotry was exactly right and it should not be tolerated anywhere. I do believe, however, that bigotry has manifested itself in U.S. citizens who were never before bigoted, primarily because of all the illegal Hispanics/Latinos in our country. You stated that you “understand the fears of the organizers.” However, this editorial did not attempt to show any understanding as to what I believe is the basis of such bigotry throughout the United States. Our government has allowed millions of Hispanics/Latinos to come into our country illegally and instead of enforcing the laws of this country, they have rewarded these persons who have broken the law. They receive free medical care (emergency rooms), free education, and most privileges of legal citizens. Most are good people (though the Hispanic/Latino prison population is very high) and certainly work hard doing jobs that many American citizens would not do. However, any way you spin it, they are here “illegally” and are not being treated as lawbreakers. An American citizen who gets a speeding ticket isn’t given a pass for breaking the law. No American could go to any country (especially Mexico with its strict immigration laws), plop down, expect/demand a right to be there and be allowed to stay, receiving most of the benefits that the country’s legal citizens have, and yet it happens every day in the United States. We can’t blame the illegal immigrants as our government has chosen to look the other way. However, when you see these illegal immigrants doing in your face protesting, making “ugly threats” (“ugly threats” go both ways), demanding rights that they do not have (being here illegally), storming the Capitol, and even burning the American flag, it is not surprising that bigotry has resulted against them. Many, many Americans are tired and fed up with our government giving away America to immigrants who are here illegally and changing our country and standard of living dramatically. This same editorial lauded the merits of immigration. It is true, but while many immigrants of past came here illegally, they worked hard to become American citizens, learn our language, and were proud to become part of America. Too many of the Hispanic/Latino illegals demand to be citizens now, do not assimilate, and do not learn the language, which again angers many Americans who are tired of everything from cereal boxes, telephone prompts, and voting directions being given in Spanish when English is the official language. The financial drain of illegal immigration is staggering, but has seldom been addressed by the media. Angry feelings toward illegals are also understandable when our own citizens are in such bad shape, with 15 percent of our citizens on food stamps, the unemployment rate is still too high, and the United States is so deeply in debt. This is all a moot point now as amnesty for all who have broken the law seems inevitable adding

more fuel to bigotry in many law abiding citizens and in those who see our country’s resources unsustainable with this absorption of millions. America with the big heart simply can’t take in everyone anymore as we have no money in our wallet. This letter is not meant to be a defense for bigotry, but for a possible understanding (which your editorial did not try to do) of what has caused it against Hispanics/Latinos. With amnesty coming, proponents will get what they want, but will they want what they get? Time will tell. Sue Thompson Editor’s note: The event sponsored by the Time Out Shelter and the Senior Center that the phone calls deterred had nothing to do with illegal immigrants. It offered services to people here legally so they wouldn’t have to drive to Phoenix. The reaction — and this letter — completely missed that point. That’s why we decried the angry reaction that frightened the organizers, many people here legally and playing by the rules and citizens of Hispanic descent as well.

Who has ever shot anyone in self-defense? EDITOR: I’ve seen a lot of comments lately about all of us needing assault weapons to protect our homes. These comments made me wonder about it all ... I’m 67 years old, been a cop, been in the Army, lived in a lot of places and yet I have not met one person, other than veterans who have served in combat zones, who has personally shot anyone in self-defense ... at their homes or out in the public. Have you? Maybe all the energy being expended to scare our citizens about nothing would be better used in fund-raising for the indigent or even maybe helping tutor one of the 35 percent of our Payson High School students who is failing a class? Think about it. Oh, and if I’m mistaken, please feel free to share your personal story about how you saved yourself or a family member by shooting a bad guy 50 times with your AR-15. Ted Paulk

A smart vision for our state EDITOR: The hope and vision that we should have for our beloved Arizona would accentuate the positivity of our people, our splendid scenery and our wonderful weather. To wit, instead of our lawmakers fixating on having some of the lowest tax rates in the country, how about aiming for goals that would elevate us into the top 10 percent of all states in areas that improved our overall quality of life? Being able to brag about our sunshine is good, but being in the top five in the U.S. in educational achievement and funding, transportation infrastructure, social services, prison reform, health care, money for law enforcement, accessibility and affordability of higher educa-

tion, economic development, etc. would be far better and more prideful things to boast about. Quality of life issues take money to achieve, but they can return significant benefits to those willing to invest in their initial costs. State lawmakers have been traditionally myopic and miserly when it comes to financially investing in our future. Perhaps it’s time for voters to elect decision makers that can be bold and bipartisan so as to place our state in a position of leadership when it comes to quality of life issues. Past Arizona leaders like Barry Goldwater, John J. Rhodes, Morris Udall, Bruce Babbitt, Burton Barr, Rose Mofford, and the recently departed Eddie Basha, all understood that a relatively small amount of funds acquired and spent wisely today could and would pay big dividends tomorrow. Where are the dreamers and doers of yesteryear today in our state? In a nutshell, some revenue enhancers (yes, that’s a euphemism for a tax increase!) on items such as beer, liquor, tobacco, lottery tickets, cell phones, tickets to sporting events, movies, cable and satellite television, and even golf would assist us in funding quality of life issues that would benefit nearly all Arizonans. If only our decision makers were as concerned with increasing our quality or life issues as they seem to be with keeping our taxes low and/or getting re-elected. Boldness, intelligence, and vision are the attributes we need from our current crop of lawmakers; unfortunately, money isn’t the only thing they have in short supply. Richard K. Meszar

Great job EDITOR: My husband and I read Pete Aleshire’s recent Petrified Forest article — as I’ve said before, he really shines when he talks about his wandering adventures. I think we will have to go there in late fall when it is cooler. Teresa McQuerrey’s Fishing Festival article was also wonderful. Joan Young

Survey seems faulty EDITOR: It was with dismay that I read in a recent Arizona Republic that Gila County ranked 15th (bottom of the list) in a healthy county listing according to a survey between the University of Wisconsin and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. One of the factors was “how many people died before the age of 75” if you check our obituary listings, most are in their 80s or 90s. Air quality was another factor and Gila County has better air quality than Maricopa. Density of fast food restaurants we would fail as we have too many. But overall I think we are a healthier county with hiking trails, walking groups, golf courses and lots of outdoor activities almost year-round. I find fault with this survey. Claire Wall

Some sign restrictions loosened Design Review Board to decide color issue BY

ALEXIS BECHMAN

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

The Payson Town Council has seen the sign(s) and it has opened up their eyes. After listening to the dispassionate plea of business owners, the council last weekend agreed to remove several restrictions in its sign ordinance and directed the Design Review Board to take a second look at rules that limit the color and design of portable and temporary signs. Now, temporary banners, like the ones outside Verizon and Anytime Fitness can be lawfully put in the public right away all month long. And portable signs, like the one in front of Artists of the Rim, can be out seven days a week — a restriction that prohibited them on Tuesdays lifted. Business owners agreed it was a step in the right direction, but would need to see if the Design Review Board eased up on the look of temporary portable signs before calling it a success. Currently, temporary signs that are painted a vibrant color are prohibited along with those that are not in a black metal A-frame base. That means Crafters Cubbies bright yellow wood sign is still not allowed. For Robert Schmidt, with Crafters Cubbies, that

is outrageous. He said that little yellow sign has done more for his business since he put it out than any other form of marketing. When a town code enforcement officer came by and told him he would have to move the sign back near the store, business instantly dropped off. Schmidt wondered why town employees were so worried about his sign when there are far larger problems to tackle. John Griffith, with Payson Wireless, said his banner is crucial in attracting new customers and promoting the store’s location. With several other wireless stores in town, any restriction on signs would affect his ability to compete, he told the council. Mayor Kenny Evans said the council was loosening up restrictions with the approved changes to Ordinance 829 and the Design Review Board would get a chance to tackle the color issue. The council hinted that if the review board didn’t take any action, it might. Councilor Su Connell said after the meeting that the council was listening to business owners and would make the necessary changes. Back in 2007, when the review board developed the criteria for temporary portable signs, concerns about garish colors were important. Now with empty storefronts, promoting and helping businesses is paramount, even if that means a business has a “bright white” sign (currently not allowed). Councilor Ed Blair said it is important the Design Review Board meet soon to address color concerns because “we are in a crisis here business wise.”

Laughs, learning, and doing the earth good Recycling program teaches sustainable and social skills to special education students BY

MICHELE NELSON

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

Brandon Nicholson could not hold back the chortles. He kept giggling then laughing out loud, pointing and trying to express his excitement, but he has challenges most kids won’t ever face. Brandon is part of the CBI (Community Based Instruction) class at Payson High School (PHS). Each day, he and his classmates, along with their teacher David Klassen walk the hallways of PHS collecting paper and plastics to recycle. “This program teaches the students numerous things,” said Klassen “They are learning about recycling — to help the planet and to slowly close the door to not interrupt the classes — social skills.” CBI classes are part of the special education program. The premise behind the classes is the belief that every student, regardless of their disabilities, has the right to find their place in the community through work, recreation and independent living, according to the Web site education.com. Klassen, who also coaches high school football, recently took over the CBI class from Ryan St. John who started the recycle program four years ago. The class teaches the students a sustainable skill, how to follow through on a project and social skills. The project also pays the students. The CBI class collects points through a Pepsi program. “We get points for scanning the plastics,” said Klassen. The PepsiCo Web site explains its Dream Machine Recycle Rally as a recycle program schools participate in and collect points. Participating groups then redeem the points with local businesses and major retailers for things such as electronics, gift cards, music, books, videos and educational events. The community can help the CBI class by dropping of its plastic recyclables in a box off the visitors’ parking lot near the PHS administration buildings. Richard Alvarez and his construction arts class made a special green box with a white recycle symbol painted on the front to collect plastic for the CBI class. To discourage general trash from getting mixed with the recyclable plastics, the box has a narrow collection spigot.

Brandon Nicholson (left), William Mortis (above) and their fellow CBI classmates roam the hallways of Payson High School daily to keep the campus clean and to earn points in the Pepsi Dream Machine Recycle Rally program. While they walk the halls, Brandon jokes with fellow classmate Cobi Smith and teaching assistant Katrina Card. “Ooll wwoomunn …” he said to Cobi. She laughed joyfully. “Old man,” she said back to Brandon. “You two are funny,” said Card, a teaching assistant in the CBI class. “They call themselves old man and old woman,” she said over her shoulder as the two walked ahead. Card plans on either becoming certified to help in special education or a medical assistant. She gets to practice real life skills helping in the CBI class. “The teachers look at them as part of the community,” said Klassen. “If it’s raining or snowing, they will call up the classroom to ask, ‘Will you be coming

“It starts at 8:30 a.m. by the car dealership,” said Klassen. He hopes the community will come out in support of the Special Olympians and bring their plastics to the high school. At the end of the day, Brandon, Codi and other classmates all gathered around the recycle bin outside their classroom. They pour their haul in the bin before scanning it. They love seeing how much they have gathered — Brandon the most. He laughed uproariously as he dumped the plastic bottles into the bin and put his thumbs up. Everyone laughed with him — it couldn’t be helped. He makes life fun, whether working or playing.

He hopes to start a tradition he had down the hill, every football game the CBI kids sat in the end zone to watch their football buddies. Klassen plans on partnering up two football players per CBI student, as team buddies. “I’m trying to get them intermixed in the community,” said Klassen. One of the first projects he has for his football player team buddies is attending a Special Olympics track meet in the Valley at the end of April. The team buddies will also march in the preSpecial Olympics parade on April 26 in Payson.

On June 13, 1956, in Hernando, Miss., Bob married Virginia Dare (Patterson), originally of Oklahoma. Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son, the late Mark Odell Huskey, preceded Bob in death on Jan. 18, 1980, at the age of 28. Virginia survives in Payson. Mr. Pogue was a Christian man, being of the Baptist faith. He was a decorated (5-Star Bronze Medal) World War II veteran. He first served his country when drafted into the U.S. Army from Sept. 18, 1942 until Nov. 5, 1945, after which he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force until Nov. 30, 1958. He was a member of the American Legion. Mr. Pogue was the third of nine children, and is survived by one brother, Amos Pogue. He was preceded in death by seven siblings, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tootsâ&#x20AC;? (Lore) Amsden, Joe, Euel, Gene, Doyle, Dean and Jim Pogue.

James R. Ward (1940-2013) James R. Ward, 72, of Payson, formerly of Glendale, Ariz., went home to Glory to be with his Lord Jesus Christ on Feb. 27, 2013. Mr. Ward was born June 26, 1940 in Toledo, Ohio, to the late Robert and Lucille Ward. He graduated from DeVilbiss High School class of 1959. After a bit of college, he married his high school sweetheart and started working in the wholesale beauty supply industry selling supplies and equipment to salons and schools. He tried opening his own supply house and then decided to move with his family to Arizona from their seven-acre horse property in Swanton, Ohio in 1971. He held sales and sales management and warehouse management positions at Phoenix Beauty Supply in Phoenix until moving to Strawberry in 1994. There, at the urging of a close friend, he began a new career as a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Bishop Realty where he was still employed. A Realtor for 15 years, he earned a number of awards during that time and enjoyed the folks he worked with. Mr. Ward was preceded in death by both his sister and brother. He is survived by his wife of nearly 53 years, Dee (Dorette). She worked alongside him, as a Realtor, assisting him for the last 10 years. He enjoyed his horses, dogs, motorcycles, boating, fishing, hunting, golfing, family fun and get-togethers over the years. He was bit by the â&#x20AC;&#x153;cruise bugâ&#x20AC;? in later years and he and Dee really enjoyed several of them to the max! Mr. Ward is also survived by his sons, Jim Ward, Jr. (his wife, Mardi) and Greg Ward (his wife, Nancy). He considered Mardi and Nancy the daughters he never had. Also surviving are four grandsons, Branden, Chase (his wife, Gina), Garrett and Jacob Ward; four great-grandchildren, Chastity, Harmony, Evan and Zoey; a cousin; and a number of nieces and nephews and their children, in California. Donations can be made to the Humane Society of Central Arizona in his name.

Child advocate program coping with scourge of abuse CASA of Arizona seeks to raise awareness of Child Abuse Prevention Month BY

MICHELE NELSON

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month and abused children need help. Each month of last year, an average of 2,655 calls were made to the Arizona Child Abuse Hotline. Currently, more than 14,000 Arizona children live in out-of-home (foster) care, most of them younger than five. That includes 30 children in Payson and 72 in Globe. Neither town has enough support services for the children in need. Recent reports from Arizona’s Child Protective Services (CPS) indicate the CPS department is underfunded and understaffed to cover current demands according to both state and national standards. Foster home advocates desperately try to find homes, but not many people have the resources to take in another child. The Gila County Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) program plans on using the added awareness of Child Abuse Prevention Month to help. CASA will send out information books, posters and recruitment cards around the state. They hope to educate citizens about child abuse and neglect and find new volunteers to help in a critical area of support — in the courts. A CASA volunteer advocates for the best interest of the child — in the courtroom. “CASA volunteers have the unique opportunity to be the one consistent person in the life of an abused or neglected child,” said CASA of Gila County Program Coordinator Barbara Munoz in a press release. “A child who has a CASA in his or her life is less likely to languish in foster care and more likely to access a safe and permanent home.” According to the press release, CASA volunteers gather all of the information involving a child’s case and make formal recommendations to the juvenile court on the child’s behalf. “I became a CASA in order to be a voice in court for children, who can seldom advocate for themselves,” said Leslie Tarallo, a volunteer with CASA of Gila County in a press release. As the economy sours and people struggle to find work, children suffer. Clarence H. Carter, the director of the Arizona Department of Economic Security hopes the Child Abuse Prevention Month gets the community involved early in a child’s life, if they need help. On his blog, he said child abuse is a community issue. “The longer society waits to intervene in the life cycle of a disadvantaged child, the more costly it is to remediate this dynamic. We can pay now or pay later. If we compare the costs annually per child in Arizona, it costs $11,246 for an out-of-home foster care placement, $62,696 for juvenile detention and $40,480 for hospitalization. By contrast, prevention services that help keep a child in the home cost an average of $3,500. Early intervention promotes school success, reduces crime, fosters workforce productivity and reduces teenage pregnancy.” The CASA Web site has a heartwarming story about the benefits support services, like CASA have in a child’s life: “Dear CASA staff, Hello. My name is Deanna, and you likely have no idea who I am. Before I can properly thank you for the work you do, it may be necessary for you to understand a little bit about who I am ... Roughly 12 years ago, my brothers and I were detained by CPS and became wards of the state. It was a harrowing experience, to say the least. We were removed from a hellish situation, yes, but we were also removed from all that was familiar to us. Eventually, we were reunited with our mother. Things were great for about a year, and then she picked up her old drug and alcohol habits, and the string of abusive boyfriends and eviction notices and the like were sure to follow. Reunification didn’t pan out like we all thought it would, but my involvement with the system taught me a lot. I learned that the chaos that was my normalcy was not inevitable. There was something else. There were reasons to persevere. At 13, I ran away from home. I stayed with various neighbors,

Foreign students matched In an effort to improve the system of matching foreign exchange students with Payson host families, Janet Nossek has been appointed an international exchange coordinator for Cambridge Massachusetts-based EF Foundation for Foreign Study — the leader in high school exchange. She will work in conjunction with the current IEC Edie Miller to find families willing to provide a home for overseas students. They are currently seeking host families for the 2013/14 school year. “Being an IEC is an incredibly rewarding experience,” said Nossek. “I am proud to be part of a program that not only enriches our community, but also helps foster positive impressions of the United States around the world.

“We welcome host families of all shapes and sizes. Among those who truly enjoy the exchange experience are parents looking to give their families a glimpse of the world and introduce their children to new customs and cultures without having to travel the globe. “A large number of our host families enjoy the experience so much they choose to host again.” Nossek is already an active member of the community. During the past few years, she has volunteered at Payson Elementary School, Rim Country Middle School and Time Out Shelter. For more information on EF Foundation volunteer opportunities, contact Nossek directly at (928_ 595-0395, nossek@q.com or visit www.effoundation.org.

friends, and family members and eventually graduated from high school at the top of my class. I even got to give a speech at graduation, because I was the student body president. Statistically, I never should have made it to that point. I got a full scholarship to the University of Notre Dame. This past May, I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts. I double majored in sociology and African American studies, and had a minor in education policy. Now I am working toward my dream, which is for every child in America to have access to quality education and health care. Currently, I work as a statistical analyst for a health care research firm. I also work part-time at a rehabilitation center for people with drug and alcohol dependencies. In my spare time, I volunteer at a local homeless shelter, where I organize Friday night outings for the teenagers in residence there and teach a GED prep class two nights a week. Every day, I touch lives in direct and indirect ways. I know that my ability to reach out to people in pain is due to the large range of emotion I’ve had the burden and privilege of knowing. I almost forgot to mention, next month I will be sworn in as an officer of the court after completing 16 weeks of intensive training to become a CASA volunteer. In some ways, I’m terrified of the experience. My foster mom, who I still speak to on a daily basis, sometimes asks why I don’t just leave well enough alone. I worked so hard to escape poverty and physical, mental, emotional and sexual abuse, so why not just take a corporate job and forget those very real and very

frightening elements of our society exist? I don’t really have an answer to her questions. But I do know that if she had taken that approach — or the neighbor who made the phone call when she heard me and my brothers screaming, or my teachers who continually offered me the praise and guidance I needed to excel in school, or my CASA who had her own career and family to focus on but still took the time to ask me what I wanted/needed and made me feel like those things were important — if any of them had not taken that approach, I would not be here today. My CASA classes have opened my eyes to how much work you all do and have done for decades to ensure that people like me have a voice and a chance. If any of your volunteers ever get so bogged down in case files and forensic reports that it gets too hard for them to see the impact their tears, hard work, gas mileage, and time spent away from their families makes, feel free to give them my phone number. This note has probably been much longer than it needed to be, so I will let you get back to your important work. For everything you do on a daily basis to make the voices of the innocent heard and understood, thank you. Sincerely, Deanna P.S. If your office still has contact with my CASA, please let her know that she is an angel.

Almost 300 youngsters turned out for Payson Little League’s Opening Day games and ceremony at Rumsey Park on Saturday, April 6. The event had some impact on the participation in both of the other youth-oriented events held Saturday: the Optimists’ Kids Fishing Festival and the Fool’s Day Fun Day. However, some of the players and their parents made it over to Green Valley Park to also take part in the fishing festival after playing their first games of the 2013 Little League season.

Top-10 ranked speedsters pace PHS BY

MAX FOSTER

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

A bevy of talented athletes clutching Division III top-10 rankings are primed to fuel the Payson High express as it steams toward the state track and field championships May 10 and 11 at Mesa Community College. Probably most surprising among the Longhorn elite is freshman Wyatt Chapman, who has shrugged off youth and inexperience to become not only a budding star, but also one of the state’s finest. In the Division III 100-meter rankings, the speedy frosh has turned in the third-fastest time in the state — 11.22. In the long jump, his leap of 20 feet, 10.50 inches is the fourth best in the state this season. While the 200 meters might not be Chapman’s best event, he is ninthranked with a time of 23.05. To be a state gold medal threat down the road, he’ll need to cut that time into the low to middle 22-second range. With five meets remaining in the campaign, he has plenty of time to fine tune his techniques and attain that goal. Chapman is also the anchor runner on Payson’s 4x100 relay team that is state fifth-ranked in 44.10.

Trevor Clawson, Noel Stunning and Payson Bobier are also on the team. Among the Lady Longhorns, senior sprinter Morgan Chilson is looking to cap her stellar four-year career with a standout state performance. Currently, Chilson’s highest ranking is third in the state 200-meter standings with a 27.08 ET. Oddly enough, the 100 meters was Chilson’s best event until weeks ago when she rose up to blister out a 200meter PR time that rocketed her up the D-III state rankings. If Chilson can lower her time into the high 26-second range, she has a shot of upsetting top-ranked Courtnee Oglesby (26.84) of Younker and second-ranked Delaney Scanlon (27.08) of Mingus. In the 100 meters, which for the first three seasons of Chilson’s career was her best event, her time of 12.97 is the state’s sixth best this year. Chilson is also a member of the state third-ranked 4x400 relay team that has run a season’s best 4:19.71. Michelle Schatz, Rachel Knauer and Anya Svir are also members of the team. In the 4x100 D-III rankings, Chilson, Knauer, Schatz and Svir are eighth-ranked at 53.01. Schatz could also be a big-time con-

Although PHS pole vaulter Richard Nielson is not state top-10 ranked as yet, he is expected to represent the Longhorn track team well the remainder of the season and in the state tournament May 10 and 11 at Mesa College.

Pine Cone says, ‘Go take a hike’ BY

MAX FOSTER

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

If a Pine Cone — a resident of the tiny mountain hamlet located 15 miles north of Payson — tells you to “Go take a hike,” don’t take it personally. The person might actually be inviting you to participate in Trails Day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, April 27 at the Pine ramada in the center of town. Activities at the ramada will include demonstrations and information presented by the Arizona Trails Association, the U.S. Forest Service, Tonto Rim Search and Rescue, Gila County Mounted Posse, Arizona Site Stewards and more. The day will also feature several guided hikes including a three-mile round trip of about two hours in length on the moderately difficult “Loop Trail” located just south of Pine. Llamas from the Ranch at Fossil Creek will join the hikers on the trek. The hike begins at 10 a.m. at the Pine Trailhead parking lot. At 10:45 a.m., organizers will host the Bradshaw Meadows Hike — a round-trip journey of about 3.5 miles on the moderately difficult Arizona Trail. Organizers expect the jaunt to take about 2.5 hours. It also begins at the Pine Trailhead parking lot. For birders interested in ornithology, a guided, one-hour hike gets under way at 7:30 a.m. at the Pine ramada. The focus will be on the Rim Country’s permanent and migrating birds. A trail-building demonstration hosted by Forest Service officials and local volunteers is also on the day’s agenda. A start time for it will be announced soon. Trails Day organizers are asking each hiker to bring their own water, hiking footwear, sun protection and any other items necessary to safely participate. The best advice from longtime high country hikers when scouring local trails is “Take only photographs, leave only footprints.” Call Maureen Walsh at (928) 476-6427 for more information about Trails Day.

Baseball, softball ready for stretch run BY

MAX FOSTER

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

The Payson High baseball and softball teams are continuing their march through the 2013 campaign with sights set on piling up wins and earning enough power points to receive berths into the postseason. The Lady Longhorns could move up in the next points rankings mostly because they improved their regularseason record with a 12-3 win over Bradshaw Mountain and a 21-1 shellacking of Mogollon. The Longhorn baseball team, however, won’t see much movement in the rankings because they spent much of last week playing in the Estrella Foothills Invitational, and tournament games do not count in power point ratings. In the tournament played April 4 to 6 at EFHS, the Horns opened with a disappointing 6-4 loss to Blue Ridge after leading early in the game 4-0. Following the loss, Payson rebounded to defeat Chino Valley 8-1 and Wickenburg 17-5. In the tournament’s championship semifinal, the Horns lost 11-1 to a very good Verrado team. Following the tournament, coaches voted Nick McMullen and Gunner Goodman to the all-tournament team.

The Lady Horns traveled April 3 to Bradshaw Mountain, believing the Bears would be a formidable opponent. That was not the case, however, as the Horns cruised to the victory that was called off after five innings on the 10-run mercy rule. Bradshaw touched starting pitcher Arianna Paulson for three runs in the bottom of the first, but that was all the Bears would score as the Payson ace shut out BM hitters over the final four innings. In those frames, Paulson struck out seven and, over the course of the entire game, struck out eight. While Arianna Paulson was dominating on the hill, her younger sister, Arissa, was pounding BM pitching for three hits, including a triple and a booming home run to left center that assistant coach Kadi Tenney contends, “Would have gone out of a lot of baseball parks.” Against Heber, the Division IV Mustangs were simply no match for the Lady Horns who were red hot after coming off a tournament championship performance in the Gracie Haught Classic. Payson scored six runs in the first, sending 13 batters to the plate. The blitzkrieg continued throughout the

The given in the equation that is the Zane Grey 50-mile endurance run is that it’s not for couch potatoes or those who favor a sedentary lifestyle. It is, however, for those who enjoy robust challenges that test both will and dedication. Obviously, there are plenty who enjoy those types of endeavors as evidenced by the fact registration has already reached its maximum of about 130 entrants. Among those participating this year is Arizona Republic sports reporter and columnist Bob Young, who has a second home in Payson. “I have tried to do as many of the local races as possible — including the Mountain High Games trail runs and mountain bike rides, the Tour de Payson bike ride in 2010, the Inner Geek 10K and the Payson Triathlon — to support the events and the people behind them,” said Young. “That was the reason I targeted this race.” The 24th annual event begins at 5 a.m., Saturday, April 27 and follows the Zane Grey Highline Trail passing near Camp Geronimo, Washington Park, Hell’s Gate Canyon, the fish hatchery and See Canyon. The race might be the Rim Country’s best-kept secret, even though it’s one of the most legendary events on the nation’s ultrarun calendar. Martin Szekeresh is probably the only local who knows much about the race, having previously entered it. He’s also worked as a volunteer host for several years. Szekeresh says runners describe the Zane Grey Highline Trail as the “toughest 50-mile trail race in the country” and claim it’s more demanding than most 100-mile ultra-marathons. “The trail is very rocky in long stretches,” Szekeresh said. “There are several water crossings and a lot of downed trees to climb over.” The trail is marked with metal diamonds nailed to trees, but more than one runner has lost his way and been re-directed by rescue volunteers. One of Szekeresh’s responsibilities during past races was to help set up aid stations at points 8, 17, 25, 33 and 44 miles into the race. The aid stations are stocked with water, electrolyte replacement fluid, fruits and other foods. Prior to the race, some of the runners place “drop bags” at the aid stations and other locations along the course. The drop bags often contain first-aid kits, clean socks, flashlights and food. Wellsupplied drop bags often are the difference in runners calling it quits and finishing, Szekeresh said. One of the toughest obstacles runners must overcome in the rugged journey is “avulsions” or tearing of the skin on feet and legs. “When it comes to those, the motto is ‘if the bone ain’t showing, you got to keep going,’” Szekeresh said. “It is an endurance contest between your body and the mountain trail,” said Szekeresh. “No matter who you are or how good your running credentials, sometimes it just isn’t your day and you DNF (Did Not Finish).” He cites 20-year-old Dakota Jones of Colorado as a runner who has suffered the heartbreak of Zane Grey. During the 2011 race, he dropped out after 33 miles. “Later in the year, he finished second in the Hard Rock Hundred at an average elevation of 11,200 feet, then set a new Grand Canyon rim-to-rim-to-rim unofficial record in a time of 6 hours and 53 minutes,” Szekeresh said.

Don’t forget the old standby, which is a live minnow that will always catch fish. If there is going to be a significant crappie bite it will be in the next month, so take a friend and head to Roosevelt Lake and enjoy God’s creation.

Paisely print pants win PMGA nod BY

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

Payson Men’s Golf Association member Stan Eggen is justifiably proud of his closest to the pin win during a “Three Clubs Only” low net formatted tournament played April 3 at Payson Golf Course. But he also might be tickled pink that following the tournament, fellow club members voted him the tournament’s “Best Dressed” member. PMGA club spokesperson Herb Sherman says he’s confident that it was Eggen’s paisley print pants that clinched him the grade A garbed title. Eggen’s closest to the pin win was chalked up on No. 17 where he was 8 feet, 1 inch away from an ace. Also in the contest, Troy Neal — one of the association’s best for the past few seasons before being hampered last year with an injury — returned to his winning ways, pocketing prize

money on No. 5 where he was 5 feet, 10 inches shy of the cup. Ken Althoff won on No. 2 at 18 feet, Dennis Schwebs emerged with prize money on No. 8 at 9 feet, 11 inches and Jack Proietto was tops on No. 14 at 6 feet, 1/2 inch. In the three-club shoot-out, Dave Rutter and Sil Egler tied for first place with identical scores of 65. On a scorecard playoff using the scores on the back nine, Rutter took first and Egler was relegated to second. With a 66, Proietto was third. Jim Livingston was fourth, Bill Shedd was fifth and Don Gyde took sixth. All finished at 69 and a scorecard play was again used. Next up for PMGA members is the annual “Masters Low Net plus Masters Player Your Pick” formatted tournament to be played tomorrow, April 10 at PGC.

Knauer, only a freshman, is ninth-ranked in the 400 (63.88) and is an integral runner on the two sprint relay foursomes. Sophomore Erin Huffman has blossomed this season into a long-distance running threat and is now ranked ninth in both the 1600 (5:38.65) and 3200 meters (12:12.81). On the 4x800 relay team that is 10th-ranked at (10:50), she runs a leg along with Kandace Baez, Savannah Grassel and Abby Greenleaf. For the Horns, Payson Bobier is being counted on to earn all important team points especially in the 400 meters, an event in which he is sitting sixth

(51.23). If he, however, is to contend for a top-three medal, he most likely will have to break the magic 50-second barrier. At state, that improvement is attainable for Bobier because he will be running at a much lower elevation and the adrenaline will obviously be flowing. Bobier is also the leadoff runner on the 4x400 relay team that includes Trevor Clawson, Michael Anderson and Logan Morris. While the track team members are obviously looking forward to the state finals, they also are focused on the remainder of the regular season, which resumes April 13 at the Fountain Hills Invitational. On April 20, the two PHS teams will host the Longhorn Invitational.
