Alliance meets Thursday to set terms for Forest Service purchase BY

The Rim Country Educational Alliance board will meet Thursday to authorize Chairman Steve Drury to enter into final negotiations to buy a 253-acre site for a 6,000-student university from the U.S. Forest Service.

Drury said only two issues remain. First, Arizona State University wants the Alliance to acquire an additional 33 acres the Forest Service had until now planned to keep for a new ranger station. Second, ASU wants backers to commit to raising a certain amount of money to support the program — perhaps $20 million.

Drury said ASU representatives in a recent meeting indicated they’re ready to move forward, but believe the project needs the added 33 acres of relatively buildable ground. The land would accommodate a research park and a commercial shopping area. The land could also provide space for a performing arts center and a YMCA recre-

ational facility, tailored to serve both the community and the students. Revenue from these projects would help keep down the cost to the university, said Drury.

The resolution will reportedly also give Drury the authority to talk to Gila Community College and Gila County to buy a much smaller site across the highway from the Forest Service site if negotiations with the Forest Service fall through on the addition of the 33 acres. That site has room for phase one of the university, but not for all the spinoff facilities.

The proposal could head off a worrisome community conflict. Drury has in recent months advocated shifting the campus to the Payson Golf Course, saying it would save several million dollars and help revitalize Main Street. Evans has remained steadfast for the Forest Service site through two years of struggle to get the Forest Service to name a price. He maintains that site would bring unproductive land onto the tax base, avoid See Alliance, page 9A

The Disney spirit of fun and pride permeated every bit of Homecoming Week, culminating in a football game win.

Although the theme inspired fireworks, Mickey Mouse ears, tutus, balloons and a parade, the energy came from something deeper.

A sense of unity has brought the district together.

That unity inspired not only the elementary schools to put together Homecoming Parade entries, but also the FFA, DECA, Drama, Automotive and Culinary Arts departments at the high school — along with each high school class and the Homecoming Court.

That unity inspired the students to chant, “This is our house,” during the game.

A 9-year-old Valley boy drowned this weekend while swimming with family at Roosevelt Lake.

The boy was snorkeling in a cove north of the Roosevelt bridge Sunday afternoon when his family realized they couldn’t see or hear him anymore, said Lt. Tim Scott with the Gila County Sheriff’s Office.

The boy’s family found him unresponsive in about five feet of water. They started CPR until help arrived.

Since the cove was inaccessible by foot, GCSO deputies put the boy in a patrol boat and took him to the nearby Vineyard Day Park where Tonto Basin Fire had an ambulance waiting.

School budget override draws praise Tea Party stalwarts say education ranks as top priority BY

The Payson Tea Party Thursday had a perhaps surprisingly friendly reaction to an informational session on the Payson Unified School District’s budget override ballot measure.

The staunchly anti-tax Tea Party members offered strong support for the ballot measure, despite qualms about whether enough of the money the schools have now ends up in the classroom.

group to put pressure on these people.

What we need to do is get people involved in the school board. We need people who are experienced, who have knowledge and experience. I’m voting for it because our teachers need it and our kids need it — we were all kids at one time. I’m asking each and everyone in here to make a positive yes vote for that override.”

At the end of the meeting, a straw poll found 13 people intended to vote for the override and 13 confessed themselves undecided. No one said they plan to vote against the override.

Dick Williams, who is serving as the campaign manager for Tea Party President Darlene Younkers, who is now a candidate for the Payson School Board, led the discussion on the override.

PUSD candidates contend Two Payson school forums this week BY

MICHELE NELSON

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

Two seats — three candidates — for the Payson Unified School District (PUSD) Board.

And on Tuesday, Oct. 7 at 6 p.m., the electorate can hear from the candidates at a forum hosted by the Key Club in the Payson High School library. The candidates will all appear again before the Payson Tea Party at 6 p.m., Thursday at Tiny’s.

Sheila DeSchaaf, Angie Prock and Darlene Younker, all want to fill the two slots vacated by Rory Huff and Devin Wala.

They offer sharply contrasting platforms.

DeSchaaf has four children spanning the school sites, from the high school to the elementary schools. She currently works for the Town of Payson as the director of the planning and zoning department.

Prock has young children, one at Payson Elementary School and the other still in preschool. She also works as an occupational therapist, but comes from a small town and appreciates the possibilities for making a difference in a smaller school district.

Younker, a retired facilities manager, has experience serving on a school board in California for more than a decade. Since moving to Payson, Younker has volunteered for the Payson Art League, the Payson Tea

Party and to head up her homeowners association.

The three have differences of opinion on topics ranging from the school override to Common Core.

Both DeSchaaf and Prock believe strongly in supporting the override.

“I will vote yes on the budget override, because approval of the override is in the best interest of our students, period,” said DeSchaaf. “Payson residents have overwhelmingly voted to approve the override for as long as I can remember, because our community takes pride in its schools.”

Prock agrees: “I will definitely vote for the school budget override ... (and) I will encourage other people to vote for the override as well,” she said. “The average homeowner (home cost $135,470 per year in Payson) will pay $69 per year if the override passes ... it will allow our district to attract and retain quality teachers and to keep class sizes within approved ranges. I believe these benefits will help our children to be well-prepared for our changing world when they graduate, to enjoy school and learning, and to be wellrounded, responsible citizens who can give back to their community.”

Younker says she will support the will of

Former Tea Party president Jim Muir offered a rousing endorsement after a long discussion of the pros and cons of the ballot measure that would continue a surcharge on property tax bills that provides the district with $1.2 million annually for its operating budget. The locally-approved surcharge costs the owner of the average home in Payson less than $6 monthly.

“I will tell you that I am voting for the override,” said Muir. “I believe that we need the money in the school system right now. We as a group can put pressure on our legislators. No reason that (Senate candidate) Sylvia Allen, (Representative) Brenda Barton and (Representative) Bob Thorpe should not support the schools. We need to pressure these people to get the proper funding coming through to the schools.

The boy was reportedly out with his father, grandma and grandpa and several other children when the accident occurred.

The family had tied up a boat in the cove and was swimming off the shore. The boy had taken off his life vest and was snorkeling with a mask, Scott said.

No one saw the boy fall under the water.

The incident is an ongoing investigation.

More information, including the boy’s name, may be released as it becomes available, Scott said.

In June, a person drowned in the lake after their boat capsized near the Ringtail boat ramp, said Steve Holt, Tonto Basin Fire chief. The four other people either held onto the boat or swam to shore and survived.

Volunteers make Fossil Creek rescue BY

ALEXIS BECHMAN

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

Two Show Low women were rescued from Fossil Creek Saturday after they tried to bushwhack out of the canyon.

The women, mother and daughter, had driven into the canyon from Camp Verde earlier in the day, parked and started walking up the shore of the creek, boulder hopping, said Lt. Tim Scott with the Gila County Sheriff’s Office.

The women eventually reached the waterfalls, a popular place to cool off for hikers, who either hike up from the Camp Verde side or reach the falls from the trailhead near Strawberry.

When the women went to leave, they could not find the trail back. Unfamiliar with the area, they reportedly tried to reach the old Fossil Creek Road, which is now closed to vehicles. The women got disoriented in the thick brush on the hillside and decided to call for help, Scott said.

“It gets pretty treacherous up there,” said Bill Pitterle, commander of Tonto Rim Search and Rescue.

A DPS Ranger located the women from the air and gave TRSAR volunteers their coordinates. Volunteers hiked in and led them back to the trailhead unscathed.

Fossil Creek is one of the busiest locations for rescues in Rim Country with hikers frequently lost or dehydrated.

“Fossil Creek is a never-ending battle,” Scott said.

Sheila DeSchaaf, Darlene Younker and Angela Prock will appear this week in forums on Tuesday and Thursday evening in their race for two vacated seats on the Payson School Board.

School board candidates square off From page 1A the voters, but she wants to remove the district’s reliance upon the override: “I respect the will of the people.

I will work diligently on permanent solutions and make sure that we manage our affairs so that extraordinary funding measures are not needed,” she said.

When it comes to the Common Core, Younker believes in local control.

“In general, decisions made from the ground up will end up being more effective than decisions made in Washington, D.C.

and imposed on everyone.

Standards are necessary but, to the extent possible, all decisions should be made at the school district level,” she said.

Prock understands that the local school district actually has little to say about state-mandated expectations. She hopes the local districts will do as well as they can with the little they have.

“The standards tell us what the students need to know; it is up to the local school district to adopt a curriculum that shows us how to reach those standards. Our district has experienced some growing pains since the standards and

From page 1A Younkers has refused to take a position on the override, saying it’s up to the voters. Both her opponents, Payson planner Sheila DeSchaaf and Angie Prock strongly support the override.

However, Williams said that Tea Party members could maximize their impact if they agree with Younker’s philosophy by voting for only one candidate for the two seats, instead of supporting both the “conservative” Younker and one of the other two candidates. He suggested many of the Tea Party voters will only want to vote for Republican candidates, even in a non-partisan race.

Despite Younker’s non-position on the override, Williams made a strong case for supporting the extension of the existing property tax levy.

The courts ordered the Legislature to overhaul the local, property-tax-based school finance system due to the enormous differences in per-student spending between rich districts and relatively poor districts like Payson. The Legislature now has almost complete control over school spending. Arizona is 47th in per-student spending according to the U.S. Census Bureau and the Legislature made the deepest cuts in the nation during the recession. Payson has cut deeply into existing programs to cope with the decline in state support in the past three years, closing Frontier Elementary School, increasing class sizes and charging fees that cover most of the costs of extracurricular programs.

However, the Legislature also allowed for local voters to boost local school property taxes by up to 15 percent, with the money earmarked for operations. In Payson, 85 percent of the money in the maintenance and operations budget goes to salaries, most of that to

teachers. The override system was intended as a way to give local voters a way to hold local school districts accountable — and extend their support. However, in Payson the repeatedly approved override money has ended up increasingly paying for basic programs, like teacher salaries, rather than extras. The override provides enough money to cover the cost of 20 to 24 teacher salaries — about 15 percent of the teaching staff.

Williams noted, “When you get down to it, you’re talking about funding our schools. And we’re going to fund our schools one way or the other. We do have a budget override on the ballot. The voters are going to have to decide. I’m not advocating one way or the other. If you read the Roundup you’ll get a pretty detailed discussion of what will happen from their viewpoint if the override does not pass. This is the third override that we’ve had. Some of the criticism is that the authorities, the board, has not managed the budget process so that we didn’t need an override. Some people think it’s an emergency situation. Others would point out it’s a mechanism provided by the Legislature to tax ourselves to provide programs we want for our children. And that’s true also. It’s one of the few taxes that we have a voice in. The reality is that it’s funding our schools and our children and that’s something very near and dear to our hearts.”

Some in the audience questioned whether the community gets its money’s worth from schools. Don Cline said the override amounts to a permanent tax. “If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck — it’s a duck.”

He noted that many other states spend two or three times as much for each student. “Are we getting our money’s worth here?”

Another audience member said, “I don’t begrudge the kids getting a good education.

But I can only think this is primarily because

of education as students in New York or Wisconsin or California.

All students should have access to quality education. It is disheartening that Arizona students are not ranked in the top 10 to 15 states in the U.S. I know of students that have moved to Arizona from other states and have spent many semesters reviewing material they had previously been taught, because the schools were not teaching the same material at the same grade levels. Education should be consistent so that children changing schools during their lifetime are not negatively impacted,” she said.

our Beyond Textbooks curriculum were implemented last year. I feel very hopeful that our schools will become higher achieving with the direction of our new superintendent and with what we have learned over the past year,” she said.

DeSchaaf decried the middling ranking and boredom out-of-state students experience when they move to Arizona, because the state has standards that do not place Arizona students at the top.

“I am in favor of having some form of measurable standards, and I want to know that students in Arizona receive the same level

the teachers want an increase in salary.”

But Williams noted that Payson teachers have gotten only one, modest raise in the past five years. The override would not necessarily go to teacher salaries or raises. The state has a high turnover rate among teachers due to salaries and working conditions, with onethird of the teachers leaving each year in many districts.

Another former teacher worried not enough money goes into the classroom, despite three previous voter approvals of override measures. “It seems like nothing really happens — they still cut programs. People still lost their jobs. The whole thing is where is that $1.4 million going to go? I want it for the kids.

They need a good education. But if it’s only going to the administration and not into the classroom ...”

The 2012 Arizona Auditor General’s school report card indicates that per-student spending now stands at 2007 levels. Arizona has substantially lower administrative costs than schools nationwide. Payson spends two-thirds of its money on instruction and student support and just 10 percent on administration.

That administrative cost came in slightly higher than the state average, even when compared to other small rural school districts.

However, it remains well below the national average.

Muir concluded, “What we have to look at is the power of the people — whether we’re a group or as individuals. We need to communicate to our legislators for them to look very hard and long at how our school districts are funded. I don’t care about some of these bills these legislators are putting through — they’re asinine some of them — we need to let them know that education is our No. 1 priority ... we have that power and we have to use that power.”

OPINION

4A TUESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2014

OURVIEW

LOOKBACK • Oct. 8, 1869: Future auto inventor and mechanic Frank Duryea is born.

Duryea was the first automobile driver on the American road. In 1893, his Duryea Motor Wagon made its first successful trip, 600 yards down his street in Springfield, Mass., before the transmission blew.

• Oct. 7, 1913: For the first time, Henry Ford’s entire Michigan automobile factory is run on a continuously moving assembly line. A motor and rope pulled the chassis past workers and parts, cutting the man-hours required to complete one “Model T” from 12-1/2 hours to six.

• Oct. 6, 1926: Yankee slugger Babe Ruth hits a record three homers against the St. Louis Cardinals in the fourth game of the World Series. In 1928, in another Yanks-Cards World Series, Ruth tied his own record, knocking three more pitches out of the same park.

• Oct. 5, 1931: Clyde Pangborn and Hugh Herndon landed in Washington after flying non-stop across the Pacific Ocean. The flight originated in Japan and took about 41 hours.

Surprising support for the override The straw vote at the Payson Tea Party on the Payson School District override gave us hope.

The politically active members of the Tea Party have more than a few silver hairs among them. They’ve raised their kids — and some of them their grandkids.

Hardly any still have kids in school. Many live modestly on fixed incomes — in a community with a lamentably high property tax rate. By and large, they’re wary of big government and none too happy about the state of the country. Many have their doubts about young people these days.

So, maybe you’d expect them to take a dim view of the Payson School District’s plea for voters to continue the 10 percent budget override, which provides the hardpressed district with an extra $1.2 million annually. The override gives voters a chance to support students in the community — and hold the school district accountable.

It’s certainly not some kind of emergency funding for districts that can’t control their budgets. However, it has become a life vest in an open sea thanks to legislative cuts in per-student spending.

The average homeowner will continue to pay about $6 a month if voters approve the override.

Nonetheless, we figured the Tea Party would be a hard sell when it comes to anything that costs taxpayers money.

Not so. The straw poll found half the people listening plan to vote for the override. The other half confessed themselves undecided. No one said they’d made up their mind to vote against this vital measure.

Mind you, they had many questions and complaints about how the district spends its money. Everyone who spoke said they want to support the children of this community. Everyone also agreed that they want more money to go directly into the classroom. But they recognized that the community must continue to hold the school board and the administrators accountable. It makes no sense to punish the kids by cutting funding when Arizona remains among the worst funded school systems in the country. The district has its hands full keeping up with the Legislature’s cutbacks, without also losing 10 percent of its operating budget.

Community members have another chance to show their support for schools — and make themselves heard tonight. The student Key Club is sponsoring a candidates debate at 6 p.m. in the Payson High School Library.

Candidates Shelia DeSchaaf, Angie Prock and Darlene Younker have all agreed to attend. If you can’t make it tonight, the three candidates will also appear on Thursday at 6 at Tiny’s Restaurant to address the Tea Party.

We hope Ms. Younker will take advantage of the occasion to come off her position of careful neutrality toward the override and join Prock and DeSchaaf in strongly supporting this crucial ballot measure. And we hope that lots of our readers will take the time to attend the session and find out about the people who want to take on the challenging and vital job of educating our children.

So tantalizingly near The long, visionary, frustrating quest for a university in Payson seems finally near the critical moment of decision.

The Rim Country Educational Alliance meets Thursday to authorize final terms for the purchase of a piece of land on which it can build a 6,000-student university that will help transform the local economy — and show the state how to cope with a looming educational crisis.

The happy news from the Forest Service appraisal of the desired 253-acre site shifted attention back to that original, preferred alternative. Recent meetings with ASU have confirmed the university’s continued interest.

Now, university officials say they hope the project will include a more buildable, 33-acre parcel the Forest Service had intended to keep. The university also reportedly wants to make sure promised donations remain in place to shore up the bottom line of the project.

The breakthrough on the price of the Forest Service parcel and ASU’s concerns about the promised donations have shifted the attention back to Payson Mayor Kenny Evans, who has remained in the background as the Alliance has investigated other sites to make sure the original plan remains the best option.

We hope that the dedicated and determined people who have brought us this far can put aside whatever painful differences and divisions that have developed and come together, with success at our fingertips.

MAILCALL

Holway, Kennedy are candidates to trust EDITOR: It is impressive that Jim Holway and Sandra Kennedy are running for the important Arizona Corporation Commission. In these two candidates, we have people who really believe in protecting the environment, expanding the use of solar energy and promoting jobs in the growing renewable energy industry.

I trust them to set reasonable rates for state utilities. This will save all of us money ... and protect the health of those who come after us.

Ed Blair

Vote for action EDITOR: Finally, someone is seeking office for the Arizona Legislature who will truly represent us.

Lanny Morrison has qualifications and experience in public policy, child services, health care and workforce development. These are the real issues for the citizens of Rim Country.

This time let’s elect someone who understands the issues and vows to improve public education, work for economic improvements and protect natural resources.

Our current legislators, Barton and Thorpe have an agenda, but have accomplished little to improve the lives of the citizens of Legislative District 6.

Vote for action, vote for Lanny Morrison.

Marie Fasano

Taking issue with editorial EDITOR: Your recent editorial, “Fleeing the facts” is itself not factual.

So-called climate change deniers are not, in fact, deniers at all except at the extremes and in politics. Critics of the present science and/or proposed official mitigation proposals believe: • Climate is changing. It is always changing.

A particular metric of climate change, temperature, has not trended much if at all since this year’s high school graduates were born.

Nonetheless, other aspects of climate have changed during that time, so the climate continues to change. No climate scientist or informed person that I am aware of disputes this. It is happening.

• Mankind contributes to the climate changes we experience at least locally and regionally.

• Changing levels of CO2 contribute to changes in climate.

One criticism of climate science is that the sensitivity of climate to CO2 is way overblown in the climate models cited in the various political and media alarms. Yet another paper has been published demonstrating that the likely climate sensitivity to CO2 is much less than that used in climate models. Even the IPCC acknowledges such in a sideways fashion. See http://judith curry.com/2014/09/24/lewis-and-curry-climatesensitivity-uncertainty/#more-16878 The upshot is that increased CO2 levels will not lead to a climate catastrophe. Consequently,

it makes little sense to impose additional, “Do it now!” costly measures to control coal-plant CO2 emissions. The cost-benefit ratio is mostly cost, little if any benefit either financially or socially.

The conflation of CO2 and air pollution is unfortunate. Air pollution is a problem. The U.S. has done a good job of reducing air pollution (except in LA; see http://www.latimes.com/sci ence/sciencenow/la-sci-sn-ethanol-ozone-levelsbrazil-20140501-story.html#page=1) and is now chasing diminishing returns at exponentiallyincreasing costs. It’s a bureaucratic survival strategy.

Regulation of PM2.5 is not warranted by the science. Most studies base the mortality effect of PM2.5 on the 2002 Pope study and follow-ons.

The recent Caiazzo study bases its methodology on a British Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants method, which, in turn, is based upon Pope et seq. Yet the Pope study has problems as outlined at http://reason.org/news/print er/air-pollution-and-mortality. Later studies have found little effect. See http://cnsnews.com/ sites/default/files/documents/young080113.pdf See also http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/ 16282158 The latter paper’s author was fired for not supporting the consensus. See http://wattsup withthat.com/2012/06/16/another-skeptical-university-professor-fired-related-to-carbs-pm2-5air-pollution-regulation-scandal/ What I find ironic is that one of the most significant measures we can take to deal with climate change is to create a robust economy. A robust economy makes adaptation, i.e., what humans have been doing since time immemorial, much less painful. The present emphasis on regulation works against that. The politicians and bureaucrats should sit on their hands until the science and technology matures — ask LA. But then we won’t need them.

The very worst thing to do, as Europe is discovering, is to jump into solar and wind before they are economically competitive and technologically sound. If we must use alternatives, nuclear is the best bet at the moment. We should never be subsidizing them as it invites corruption.

Paul Wescott

Felecia Rotellini is a true public servant EDITOR: Tom Horne is on his way out. What a relief!

Now we can elect an exceptionally well-qualified woman to clean up the corrupt mess that Horne made of our attorney general’s office!

Felecia Rotellini has the background and experience to return the focus of the AG’s office to protecting and serving all law-abiding Arizonans. She worked as a litigator in the AG’s office prior to Tom Horne’s tenure as AG. While doing this work Felecia earned the trust and respect of countless Arizona individuals and families as lead litigator for the state against Arthur Andersen, resulting in a global settlement that returned $217 million dollars to investors in the Baptist Foundation of Arizona.

She will continue to stand up against special interests and corruption as Arizona’s top law

enforcement officer. Felecia Rotellini is the real deal — a true public servant and fierce advocate for our most vulnerable citizens. We consider ourselves fortunate to be able to vote for someone of Felecia’s integrity and intelligence.

Please join us in voting for Felecia Rotellini.

Bob and Dee Hershberger

Thanks from Payson Farmers Market EDITOR: We were so sad to wake up last Saturday, Sept. 27 at 5 a.m. to thunder and lightning and had to follow our safety rule of “if it’s lightning, we don’t open”!

Sad, because the community didn’t have a chance to stock up on the items wanted and even sadder because we didn’t get to give hugs and say goodbye for the season!

A warm heartfelt thanks to Katie and Joe Klein for running the day-to-day operations of the market, our vendors for getting up at the crack of dawn each week and to our loyal customers that make it all possible. We started the market six years ago as a weekly community event and you have kept on coming.

We look forward to seeing you all next year.

John and Lorian Roethlein, founders, Payson Farmers Market

Democrats creating growing class of parasites EDITOR: Obama was elected by low information voters.

What are low information voters, you say? If you vote for an individual or political party without knowing what they believe or what they stand for you are a low information voter.

Let me explain. For instance, do you believe it is morally acceptable: to encourage illegal aliens to steal into this country and make American taxpayers to pay for their welfare, maintenance, education and health care? To kill unborn children because you don’t want to accept the responsibility to raise the child? To take money from an income earning, responsible citizen and give it to a healthy, capable citizen that does not want to work and be responsible for his actions?

To take away a health plan from a citizen that he is perfectly happy with and force him to take a plan that he doesn’t like and is more expensive?

To enact a new welfare program for non-working, irresponsible, unproductive citizens and increase the national debt by selling more bonds to China to pay for it?

If you believe the issues listed above are morally acceptable you should vote for the Democratic Party because these are the sort of issues they support. However, the low information voter didn’t know about them. He voted for the Democratic Party without knowing what they believe or what they stand for. The political parties aren’t similar anymore. Pay attention to what they want to do to you and vote accordingly. Remember that no society ever thrived because it had a large and growing class of parasites living off those who produce.

Top fiddlers converge in Rim Country BY

Cameron Philips, Gilbert

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

YOUNG ADULT, AGES 18 TO 39

Rain, thunder and lightning could not put a damper on the 44th Anniversary of the Vertilee Floyd Memorial Old Time Fiddle Championships and Acoustic Celebration.

The Friday night concert was a great success and brought approximately 750 people out to the Payson High School Auditorium, said festival coordinator Nelson Beck with the Payson Parks, Recreation and Tourism Department.

The audience so enjoyed Special Consensus, Western Bred, Cisco and the Racecars and Wyatt Troxell it gave the performers a standing ovation at the end of the two-and-a-half-hour show.

Beck said the fiddle championships went really well in spite of the weather. The rain did force a change of venue from the Payson Event Center to the Payson High School Auditorium.

The move ultimately caused the contest to start about an hour late — but there is something to be said about sitting in theater style seats as opposed to metal folding chairs and bleachers.

Just under 40 fiddlers competed for the Arizona Fiddling State Championship, Beck said.

Joseph Turner, 16, of Tucson, once again won the championship title — he was also champion of the 2013 event.

The still-new Fiddle-in Bands competition — this is only the second year of the event — had two bands entered, Young and Restless from Chandler and Generations from the Prescott area. Generations nudged out the Young and Restless to win the $500 first prize.

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

More and more it seems that allergy season for me lasts all year long. The stuff going to seed (or whatever it’s doing) right now makes my eyes water and my nose run, I sneeze and I cough and then there is the wheezing.

Come winter, the smoke from the wood-burning stoves triggers the same reaction, though thankfully, not as frequently. Then things start blooming in the spring and continue through summer.

So, I have started to wonder if I might not have asthma.

Recently, Dr. Amalia Pineres, M.D., made a presentation on asthma at the Payson Regional Medical Center Senior Circle.

While I was not able to attend that Lunch & Learn program, Jan Parsons, adviser for the Senior Circle and Dr. Pineres shared the PowerPoint presentation on the topic.

The following is from the PowerPoint.

Asthma is defined as a disease of the lungs characterized by airflow obstruction and airway hyper-responsiveness.

Risk factors and triggers could include:

• Atopic or allergic — a great majority • Occupational and environmental chemicals and exposures — smoke, pesticides, cleaning agents • Infectious or viral

Making a diagnosis

• Spirometry and/or other Pulmonary Function Tests • Chest X-ray findings — not always necessary, but almost always done in ER, hospital etc.

• Oxygen Saturation • Trial of bronchodilator Treatment

Illustration from Amalia Pineres PowerPoint

The triggers of an asthma attack are varied. From our pets and the environment, to stress and even exercise.

Asthma can also be induced by exercise. It presents as shortness of breath during or after exercise and is underdiagnosed.

than 10 percent of those admitted require mechanical ventilation • Rare for people to die of an asthma attack

Incidence and statistics

Symptoms

• Up to 10 percent of population has had an asthma attack and incidence is increasing worldwide • 10 to 20 percent presenting to the emergency department with asthma are admitted • Only a small percentage, less

• Shortness of breath • Cough — only symptom in up to 57 percent of patients • Wheezing • Chest tightness Physical findings

A number of critical dates for those on Medicare and just now eligible for the service are coming up starting this month.

You don’t need a lawyer to appeal in most cases, and filing an appeal is free. You won’t be penalized in any way for challenging a decision by Medicare or your health or drug plan. And many people who file appeals wind up with a favorable outcome.

For more information on appeals, you can read our booklet “Medicare Appeals,” available at www.medicare.gov/Publications. Or call us, toll free, at 1-800-MEDICARE. You can also file a complaint about services you got from a hospital or other provider. If you’re concerned about the quality of the care you’re getting, call the Quality Improvement Organization (QIO) in your state to file a complaint. A QIO is a group of doctors and other health care experts who check on and improve the care given to people with Medicare.

You can get your QIO’s phone number at www.medicare.gov/contacts or by calling 1800-MEDICARE. Many people with Original Medicare also enroll in Medicare Part D prescription drug plans. Here, too, you have certain rights.

For example, if your pharmacist tells you that your plan won’t cover a drug you think should be covered, or it will cover the drug at a higher cost than you think you’re required to pay, you can request a coverage determination.

If that decision isn’t in your favor, you can ask for an exception.

Ask for an exception if you, your doctor, or your pharmacist believes you need a drug that isn’t on your drug plan’s list of covered medications, also known as a formulary.

For more details, read the booklet, “Medicare Rights and Protections,” at http://www.medicare.gov/Publications/Pubs/p df/11534.pdf.

Meet the PRMC Food Service kitchen staff BY

JAN PARSONS

PAYSON REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

We all know the importance of a good diet in order to stay healthy, but nutrition plays a special role in recovery when ill, injured or undergoing any medical procedures.

The kitchen staff at Payson Regional Medical Center has been trained in meal preparation and special dietary nutritional needs for health.

Like any department at PRMC, the Food Service personnel operate as a high-performance team.

For example there are multiple tasks and multiple job descriptions within the department, such as: cooks, dietary aides and kitchen supervisors.

Job tasks range from interviewing patients, passing meal trays, reviewing and relaying dietary orders to managing quality controls, food procurement, and inventories.

Additionally, catered events, for both staff and the general public, are ongoing, with an average of about 25 events per month.

The kitchen staff includes generally highly creative individuals who are interested in the art forms of cooking.

PRMC has 14 kitchen employees, each with their own special set of work skills and personal talents to treat hospital patients to healthy, well-balanced and appetizing meals, including special preparations for any patient dietary restrictions.

The kitchen staff operates the hospital cafeteria for employees, volunteers, visitors and the general public.

Some say the PRMC cafeteria has the best deal on meals in town, and they’re good too.

The Dietary Department routinely caters the Lunch and Learn programs at the Senior

Arizona awarded for newborn screening State laboratory tests for 28 genetic disorders

BY IMELDA

MEJIA

CRONKITE NEWS SERVICE

Counting 10 fingers and 10 toes doesn’t begin to tell parents and doctors whether a baby is healthy. With that in mind, state health officials screen blood samples from newborns to identify hidden health problems that can prove fatal.

“If you don’t know that the baby has that disorder quickly, bad things can happen really fast — within days,” said Will Humble, director of the Arizona Department of Health Services.

But Humble learned last year that screenings often took too long to help newborns facing critical health problems, in large part because of delays getting blood samples from hospitals to the Arizona State Laboratory. That was after an investigation by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel pointed to delays in newborn screening around the country.

Today, nearly all newborn blood samples make it from hospitals to the state lab in three days or less.

The March of Dimes recently honored Humble’s efforts to

speed up newborn screenings and build transparency into the process, presenting him with its first-ever Newborn Screening Quality Award.

A newborn screening, the first of two required by the state, starts with a poke to the baby’s heel and applying blood to a card that will be sent to the state lab once it dries for at least three hours. It’s generally done 24 to 36 hours after birth.

The state lab tests samples for 28 genetic disorders, a process that takes five days. If a sample shows an abnormality, it’s tested again before parents are notified.

When health officials found that blood samples from babies born between Friday evening and Sunday weren’t being picked up until Monday, Humble’s department engaged a courier service that worked Fridays and Saturdays.

In July, it was reported that 39 of the state’s 43 birthing hospitals met the goal of getting 95 percent of newborn blood samples to the state lab in three days or less. It presented each with an award.

“Courier service is very important because it goes out to everyone in the state,” said Celia Nabor, project manager for the department’s Office of Newborn Screening.

“We wanted to make sure that all hospitals had equal access to a

courier service that was going to help them get their samples here on time.”

New webinars helped hospitals learn about the courier service, the department’s goal of speeding up screenings and a hospital’s responsibilities.

“We identified very early that education and outreach were going to be a key piece to the success of this project,” Nabor said.

The department also promised transparency in the newborn screening process and created a website allowing anyone to see how individual hospitals are performing.

Among the winners was Mountain Vista Medical Center in Mesa, where according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel investigation 42.98 percent of samples took five or more days to reach the state lab in 2012. As of August, 98 percent of that hospital’s samples reached the state lab in less than three days, according to the state.

Kevin Brown, director of Mountain Vista’s lab, said the hospital changed its operations to get samples to his staff faster, including dedicating a person to deliver specimens internally.

“It was quite a good feeling seeing where we were and where we had gone,” Brown said. “This is where we want to be from here on out.”

FLU SHOTS Flu activity most commonly peaks in the U.S. between December and February. However, flu activity can begin as early as October and continue to occur as late as May. The CDC recommends a yearly flu vaccine for everyone 6 months of age and older as the first and most important step in protection. While there are many different flu viruses, the seasonal flu vaccine is designed to protect against the main flu viruses that research suggests will cause the most illness during the upcoming flu season. People should begin getting vaccinated soon after flu vaccine becomes

available, ideally by October.

In addition to getting vaccinated, take preventive actions like staying away from sick people and washing your hands to reduce the spread of germs.

If you are sick with flu, stay home from work or school to prevent spreading flu to others.

New ADOT building to house de-icer BY

ALEXIS BECHMAN

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

You likely notice it as you drive south through town past Walmart. The Arizona Department of Transportation recently constructed a large, virgin white barn south of the mega store.

The massive new “shed” in ADOT’s maintenance yard at 200 N. Colcord Road houses 215,000 tons of de-icer.

ADOT plans to pull de-icer from the 4,800-square-foot metal building as needed during the winter months to keep surrounding highways clear and open for motorists, said Dustin Krugel, public information officer with ADOT. ADOT uses a couple of de-icing agents, but mainly liquid magnesium chloride and a granular product called Ice Slicer, which is used to prevent the bond between

children could dress up like knights and princesses. “I had a lot of fun with this theme,” said Abraham.

Each class created a Coat of Arms to present to their teachers at the end of the book fair, which decorated the ceiling in the hall just outside the library.

All decorations and pictures for the fair were created by Mrs. Bielke, who also painted the pictures on the walls of the library.

The whole event depended on volunteers.

Safeway donated six dozen muffins for Monday’s Muffins for Mom. Last year students signed a thank you letter to Safeway for its support.

Pride of Payson marching band first in competition BY

MICHELE NELSON

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

Taking first place in Division III at the Prescott Invitational, the Pride of Payson swept just about all of the caption awards, too.

“We took first place overall in our division, so we received an award for having the highest overall scores for the bands in Division III that competed at the festival,” said Sergio Beraun, Pride of Payson band director.

Beraun said the band ultimately took home five awards.

Judges gave the Pride 58.96 points assuring them the top spot in Division III, but the score left them a little more than a point shy of qualifying for the state competition.

Beraun said the band won awards for performing at a higher and more consistent level than the other bands in their division.

He said Payson brought home four plaques for the best general effect, visual, percussion and auxiliary awards. The fifth plaque commemorated the band’s overall award.

In the band world, judges award caption awards for the best percussion per-

Michele Nelson/Roundup

formance, best auxiliary (flags, etc.), best music or visual performance, and the best general overall effect.

“General effect is the overall design of the show, the excitement created by the execution of the marching formations and contrast in the music, and how they are performed by students,” said Beraun.

“Visual performance is how the students march, stand, dance and move in the show, combined with the responsibilities of keeping the formations together.”

Beraun said it would be easy to simply say the band outperformed the other bands, but he would prefer to look at it a different way.

“I would like to think that the students were given these awards because they focused and came together when it mattered most, leading them to a memorable and strong performance,” he said.

However, the judges felt the music could have been a touch better so the band did not qualify for the state competition slated for November — in this competition.

But don’t fear, the band still has plenty of chances to qualify in the coming weeks as the Pride competes every weekend in October.

“We are in a great place competitively; we are ranked in the top 10 in the state right now,” said Beraun. “For this time of the year, we are exactly where we need to be and are well on our way to achieving our goals of a good showing at the Arizona State Championships later this year.”

The Prescott Invitational is the second competition for the Pride.

During the historic stormy weekend in Phoenix on Sept. 27, the Pride performed at the Millennium Invitational. Due to the severe weather, all bands performed indoors which limited them to music only.

Payson obtained a “good” rating at that competition.

Band parent Susan Walker went to Prescott.

“I’m so happy for them and all the awards they received,” she said.

Beraun said he is also happy with the students.

“I am very happy with the growth and improvement these students have had on a daily basis since July,” he said. “Their hard work and dedication continue to inspire me to improve as their teacher, and I just can’t see how that can be anything besides great!”

Alliance focused on Forest Service site for university From page 1A disrupting existing neighborhoods and create a more distinctive campus.

A lower-than-expected $4.1 million appraisal for the 253-acre property tilted the balance back in favor of the Forest Service site. However, the analysis showed the site is so hilly that only 22 percent of the land would likely prove easy to build on. By contrast, almost all of the 33 acres the Forest Service had reserved for new visitor and firefighter facilities is relatively flat.

Drury said Tonto National Forest Supervisor Neil Bosworth has raised no objection to selling the additional 33 acres. The Alliance could lease back land to the Forest Service for the visitors center and new offices it wants to build. The Forest Service needs about 16,000 square feet of office space and quarters for Hotshot fire crews.

Still, making the project dependent on acquiring the extra 33 acres could pose problems. The 33-acre parcel wasn’t included in an earlier environmental

assessment nor in the appraiser’s report.

It took the Alliance more than three years and some $250,000 to get the assessment and the appraisal done.

However, Drury said he felt sure even a one year delay in buying the extra land would not pose a problem. He said ASU representatives say they can go forward so long as the Alliance has an agreement to buy the extra land. Work on the core of the campus could then start as soon as the Alliance buys the first 253 acres.

Phase one of the campus would accommodate 1,000 students with about 65,000 square feet of classroom and administrative space in two buildings. Phase one would also include two dorms for a total of 300 students. It will take about two years to design and build the campus, said Drury. Work on the facilities planned for the 33 acres could start later.

The complicated deal now hinges once again on Evans, who had previously gained financial commitments from donors. At one time, the commitments totaled $70 million, but no one’s sure whether those commitments have

remained firm during the more than two years of unanticipated delay.

Contacted on Monday, Evans said he has remained distant from the current negotiations to give Drury “all the room I can give him.”

Evans said that he cannot speak for ASU, but believes adding the 33 acres could benefit the project. However, he said the extra land isn’t essential. He said as soon as the Alliance commits itself to a site, he can raise the needed money.

“I met with the ASU foundation — I think I understand and they understand what they need to go forward. We’ve had those discussions. There are no surprises there. I’m aware of my commitment to the Foundation and to ASU and we will go forward.”

“If we can pull that off, that would be great. But in spite of what they say, the additional land is not essential for the project to go forward. What’s essential is an assurance from the SLE board that they’re ready to go forward with the Forest Service site. Then we’ll go get the

funding,” said Evans.

Drury said ASU remains committed to the project and most of the details have been worked out.

The Alliance has lined up DCK Capital Solutions as the developer, which will provide up to $2.2 million to draw up all the site and construction plans. The developer will get the money back when the Alliance borrows the money to build the campus. DCK Capital Solutions also hopes to develop an industrial park in Granite Dells.

The Alliance will rely on RSP Architects to draw up the plans. RSP has worked extensively with ASU and designed the ASU Polytechnic campus in the East Valley. Many of the building plans for that campus can be adapted to the Forest Service site, said Drury.

The Alliance also has a commitment from National Standard to provide financing for the project. The Alliance can borrow the money once it meets four conditions, said Drury. It must sign an intergovernmental agreement with ASU, obtain a maximum guaranteed price for

the 1,000-student phase one, find a builder for the dorms and enter into a lease agreement with the Arizona Board of Regents, said Drury.

The Alliance has also agreed to raise $10.2 million to subsidize ASU against operating losses in phase one. That’s part of the money Drury hopes Evans can provide from donors. Drury noted that he’s also had discussions with at least one educational foundation about backing the project.

The Alliance will also have to come up with $540,000 to guarantee completion of an archaeological study of the Forest Service property, although the architectural consultants estimate excavating one or two sites will only cost about $232,000. The environmental assessment found some pottery fragments and perhaps one site used as a seasonal campsite.

The Alliance doesn’t intend to build on the rocky ridge on which the site sits, but the Forest Service has insisted on a deeper dig and a plan to save any artifacts uncovered.

Airport boasts best fuel rates Price reduced during runway construction BY

ALEXIS BECHMAN

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

To attract business during a three-week construction closure, the fuel supplier at Payson Airport has dropped the price of gasoline per gallon by 40 cents.

On Thursday, the Payson Town Council agreed to waive a

5-cent fuel fee, bringing the total discount to 45 cents.

LaRon Garrett, assistant town manager, said that makes the price of aircraft fuel in town one of the lowest around at $4.95 per gallon.

Show Low Construction is grading the north side of the runway to meet Federal Aviation Administration Runway Safety Action Team requirements.

Since the work is taking place adjacent to the runway, officials are closing the runway from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday for the next few weeks.

To attract pilots to the area in the evenings and the weekends when the runway is open, MPG East decided to drop the price of fuel. The town awarded MPG East the airport’s fueling contract in December and they have since installed a new self-fueling pump system.

Since taking over the contract, fuel sales have increase 25 percent over 2013 for MPG East and the company hopes to maintain this momentum despite having the runway currently closed five days a week, said Margie Oldenkamp with MPG East in a

letter to the town.

With MPG East dropping the price by 40 cents, Oldenkamp asked the town to waive its 5cent fuel flow fee.

The council agreed and waived the fee. Doing so will cost the town less than $200, Garrett said.

“A reduction of this amount will make Payson have the least expensive gas in the area and will attract aircraft during our open hours,” he said.

Mayor Kenny Evans praised the agreement and partnership between the town and MPG East.

Seven hikers, including Leeson and Gordon, hiked to the Oregon cabin. Gordon shared a spectacular video he made of the hike.

“I’ve been very privileged at being at the right place at the right time,” says Leeson.

Levi Strauss purchased the land where the Oregon cabin is located and left it alone. Recently the Bureau of Land Management bought the land and has started renovations.

Leeson also attends Zane Grey’s West Society conventions, which are held every June in various locations. Next year the con-

vention will be held at Mormon Lake Resort near Flagstaff.

Grey played summer baseball for the Columbus Capitols, later he received a scholarship and chose to attend University of Pennsylvania where he studied dentistry.

After his graduation, Grey established a dental practice in New York City in 1896. He filled his evenings with writing and played baseball with the Orange Athletic Club in New Jersey.

Grey met his wife Lina Roth, known by “Dolly,” in 1900. After the couple married in 1905, Dolly gave up her teaching career. The couple moved to a farmhouse in Lackawaxen, Penn., where Dolly managed Grey’s writing career.

The farmhouse is now preserved and operated as the Zane Grey Museum and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Eventually giving up his dental practice, Grey gradually improved his writing with the help of Dolly’s proofreading and copy-editing. The couple had three children.

Grey spent a great deal of his time traveling and began to spend more and more time traveling and away from his family.

In October of 1939, Grey died of heart failure at his home in Altadena, Calif. He was laid to rest at the Lackawaxen and Union Cemetery in Pennsylvania.

Best known for his popular adventure novels, Zane Grey is a Western genre legend. As a child, fishing, baseball and writing interested him. Grey loved reading adventure stories and wrote his first story, “Jim of the Cave,” when he was only 15.

The Northern Gila County Historical Society invited England resident David Leeson of Zane Grey’s West Society to participate in their Learning Local History Series.

Every September, for the last eight years, Leeson visits Payson to volunteer at the Zane Grey Cabin.

Fred Gordon, resident of Scotland and also a member of the Zane Grey’s West Society has been a volunteer for the past three years.

Grey spent a great deal of time writing and traveling. He had a cabin on the Rogue River in Oregon and another on the Mogollon Rim in central Arizona.

Leeson shared knowledge and photos of Zane Grey’s Avalon home on Catalina Island, his main home in Altadena, Calif., which he toured in 2010, and the Zane Grey Cabin at Winkle Bar on the Rogue River in Oregon.

The Arizona cabin was abandoned for several years and then

Walmart and Swire Coca-Cola also provided support to the

teachers’ supply drive.

“Both teachers and students have used the collected supplies.

Often the smallest offerings or gestures make the biggest impact,” said a teacher from Payson Center for Success.

Dozens of volunteers helped receive and process the donations. Among them were PUSD faculty and administrators, as well as Kiwanis Club members.

A Rim Country Middle School teacher thanked everyone who contributed. “As a teacher who volunteered during the collection, it was gratifying to see how Payson cares about schools and students,” she said.

Among the donated classroom supplies were 2,388 pen-

football game each time Payson plays at home.

And when the band plays, the crowd cheers, the cheerleaders dance, and the football players turn to the crowd to flap their arms and ask for more noise.

Homecoming court member Steven Martinez said it best when he talked about how this year, the students have worked to include everyone.

“This year, we’re trying not to be so separated,” he said.

The Homecoming Court reflected that aspiration.

During weeklong voting, students voted in a diverse cross section of the student body for their court, including students from drama, band and athletics.

The respect amongst the court was clear as Emily Hoffman, Ryan Wacker, McKenna Cave, Steven Martinez, Trevor Clawson, Marissa Kelly,

Rebecca Osier, Trevor Anderson, Ali Tenny and Matt Davis waited in the end zone for the halftime festivities to start.

Girls handed each other yellow roses and adjusted hair and outfits. Guys slapped each other on the back and helped organizers Anna Van Zile and Shelly Camp.

As the time for the halftime festivities arrived, teachers watching the game in the end zone rushed to help hold up the façade of a Disney castle for the band and Homecoming Court to walk through.

Then fireworks filled the sky to celebrate the King, Matt Davis and Queen, Marissa Kelly.

Walt Disney would have been proud.

But he would have been more proud to see the spirit continue through to the fourth quarter of the game.

Students danced in the stands to the energetic music of the band.

The crowed cheered on the poor souls who attempted to complete more than 30 push-ups to celebrate Payson’s points on the board.

And even though the touchdowns mounted on the Payson side of the scoreboard, the students chanted: “T D — touchdown! T D — touchdown!”

When the score reached 56 to 28, the push-ups turned into cheers of congratulations instead.

The triumphant game ended with a burst of fireworks lighting up the sky.

However, some in the crowd questioned school board candidate Angie Prock on why the district would waste money on fireworks and the helicopter from Native Air that delivered the game ball.

PHS Principal Brian Mabb said student government paid for the fireworks through gate sales from the Powder Puff game and the Homecoming Game.

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

As the homecoming festivities ramped up at Friday night’s football game, one student decided to put on a show of his own.

At the tail end of halftime, a freshman jumped a low fence separating the crowd from the field and ran down the grass near the 15-yard line in just his underwear.

School officials had heard a student might streak and had several employees posted, but the 15-year-old boy managed to escape their attention long enough to run a few yards down the field with his underwear pulled up to expose his behind, said Greg Wyman, Payson Unified School District superintendent.

The teen continued west down the field before

trying to jump a high fence near a water tower, but he became caught up, said Lt. Woody Eldredge with the Payson Police Department.

“It is probably not something you want to do when you have limited clothes on,” Eldredge said, of the snag.

Officers quickly caught up with the teen.

Police charged him with disorderly conduct.

Wyman would not say how the school planned to discipline the boy, citing privacy policies.

In October 1999, also at the homecoming football game, a PHS senior streaked across the field, according to Roundup archives.

Following the game, a teen reportedly grabbed a yellow banner and streaked west to east across the field before jumping a chain link fence and escaping into the woods. Several days later, police caught up with the teen and he confessed.

He said Native Air not only donated the helicopter, the medical air ambulance company gave a check to the football program for $3,000.

And after the grand finale of the game, the band had a postgame show.

Working with precision, the Pride of Payson Marching Band previewed its competition show they would wake up early on Saturday morning to prepare to perform in Prescott.

The football team, cheerleaders, staff and students stayed to cheer on the band.

All with a spirit of unity.

Longhorns explode!

End 5 years of Homecoming misery with 56-28 win over Fountain Hills

Photo above left courtesy of DJ Craig

Payson’s Bowen Sweeney (#7) leaps high into the air to try and block an extra point kick by Fountain Hills. He wasn’t able to block it, but he had an interception that helped the Longhorns beat the Falcons for the first time since 2008 and end a five-year Homecoming Game losing streak. Keith Morris captured the fireworks that exploded after each of the Longhorns’ eight touchdowns.

BY

KEITH MORRIS

ROUNDUP SPORTS EDITOR

The Longhorns like fireworks.

They made that perfectly clear on Friday night.

The Payson High student council arranged for fireworks to soar before and after Friday’s Homecoming Game against Fountain Hills, as well as following every Payson scoring play.

So the Horns exploded for eight touchdowns in a 56-28 bombing of the Falcons.

The victory ended a five-year Homecoming losing streak, as well as a five-game losing streak against the Falcons. The Longhorns hadn’t beaten them since opening the 2008 season with a 26-0 victory at Fountain Hills.

PHS also hadn’t won a Homecoming Game since that magical season, when the Longhorns went unbeaten in winning the Class 3A state championship.

It remains to be seen if this squad can go on to claim the first state crown since that year and the third in program history, but the victory sent a message around the state that this team has emerged from the darkness of a 4-7 2013 campaign to stamp itself a contender in Division 4’s challenging Section 5. PHS struggled to a 1-4 record in the division’s most difficult section a year ago after opening section play with a 55-14 defeat at Fountain Hills. By winning their section opener, the Longhorns improved to 4-2 with their third consecutive victory.

They fol-

lowed up a win over Glendale two weeks ago by avenging last year’s Homecoming loss to St. Johns on the road last week.

“I think the program is on a great track right now, and if the boys just believe, I don’t think there’s anything that can stand in their way,” head coach Jake Swartwood said. “We believe that they can change the traditions here and change how this team has been viewed and how the Payson football program’s been viewed. St. Johns and Fountain Hills back-to-back is a great start for them, and they’ve just got to keep the momentum, believing in each other and continue to play like they have.”

It’s the most points the Longhorns have scored since a 67-35 trouncing of Globe last Oct. 11 at PHS. Payson plays at Globe (2-4, 0-1) on Friday.

defense that can hold us under 30 points,” Swartwood said.

The Longhorns rushed for 438 yards and amassed 550 yards of total offense.

Chaz Davis threw three touchdown passes, to give the home team a 14-6 halftime lead. Two of those touchdown throws went to Matt Davis, who learned at halftime that he’d been voted Homecoming King.

As effective as he was passing and pitching out running coordinator Carl

Wyatt Chapman (#12) dives forward for extra yardage against Fountain Hills. The junior rushed for 162 yards and two TDs and caught two passes for 80 yards and a score.

Curtis’ read option spread offense, C. Davis hurt the Falcons just as much with his ability to run the ball. The junior ran wild, gaining a whopping 246 yards on 17 attempts as Falcon defenders came up clutching air. He blasted through the line for a 76-yard run just 21 seconds into the second half.

But the Falcons couldn’t key on him because when he wasn’t keeping it himself, he was pitching it to Wyatt Chapman, who raced for 162 yards and two TDs on 16 totes, including a 77-yard scoring run. He also caught two passes for 80 yards and a score to finish with 242 yards from scrimmage.

However, the visitors hung around and trailed just 28-21 after finding the end zone on the first play of the fourth quarter. But PHS answered with four touchdowns in a 7:57 span of the final period to pull away. C. Davis connected with Chapman on a 55-yard screen pass for a touchdown, and Chapman ran for a 7-yard score before Dean Harpe scored on a 16-yard end-around and Brigham Flake returned an interception 40 yards for the final touchdown 20 seconds later.

Swartwood said he thinks the Longhorns won the fourth quarter because of superior conditioning.

“It was 28-21 and this game goes any way from there,” the coach said. “We tell our boys that we condition harder than anyone we’re going face. I think you saw in the fourth quarter we just stepped up and ran away from them.”

Swartwood praised the job done by both Curtis with the offense and coordinator Chris Taylor with the defense.

“He’s come up with the game plans that have improved our defense,” Swartwood said of Taylor.

It wasn’t just the fireworks that made it feel like a special night. It started off on a high note when honorary captains Bob Halenar and Ronnie McDaniel

arrived in a helicopter.

Longhorn supporters filled the home team stands and had plenty to cheer about and the PHS band played throughout the game.

PHS boys impressive in Old Pueblo Classic Pink-out for tonight’s game TUCSON — Payson’s boys soccer team continued its strong season by going 3-0-1 in the Tucson Desert Christian Old Pueblo Classic last weekend.

They then beat Benson 4-0 before opening Saturday with a 7-0 rout of St. Johns. They tied Willcox 22 in their final contest. The Cowboys stand at No. 7 in the Division IV power rankings with

a 3-1 record in the non-tournament games that count in the power rankings.

“They were good all-around games,” said PHS head coach Chris Avakian. “It was hot on Saturday but the boys played hard and good.”

The Longhorns, who are No. 2 in the power rankings at 5-1 behind only Chino Valley, entertain Lakeside Blue Ridge (No. 9, 4-2 power points game) at 6 p.m. tonight in a Pink-Out Game in which fans are asked to wear pink clothing to promote breast cancer awareness.
