Payson ammo maker poised to reopen Owners say they’ll resume next week by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

A month after an abrupt shutdown, Payson’s sole ammunition manufacturing facility re-opened its doors Monday, with plans to begin manufacturing next week.

Jim Antich, founder of Advanced Tactical Armament Concepts (ATAC) LLC, gave an impromptu tour of the facility to the Payson Roundup Wednesday.

Only a few employees worked among the rows of silent machines, but Antich said the plant will start making ammunition again next week.

He said the company must first order the components to manufacture HPR branded ammunition again.

ATAC closed in September, abruptly sending employees home, reportedly due to financing issues. Antich would not discuss specifics, but said the company had resolved its issues and acquired additional partners to support the business.

Jim and his son Jeff Antich, co-founder of ATAC, are also still working on plans to build a massive manufacturing facility in Tennessee.

The Tennessee plant will be built by another Antich company — Python Meteor Holdings Inc., the parent company of Advanced Munitions International (AMI) Investment Holdings LLC, which will serve as a testing and product development facility. They will make some or all of the components needed for ammunition manufacturing in-house and then manufacture finished ammunition in Tennessee. They will also ship components made in Tennessee to Payson for the production of HPR and other licensed ammo.

On Wednesday, ATAC announced it would make Jesse James licensed ammo in Payson soon.

Jim said the company will manufacture HPR branded ammo in Payson, but not in Tennessee.

Antich said they would sell a new brand of ammunition from their Tennessee facility, but could not say what it will be called, referring to it generically as “ABC” ammo.

When the Antichs and the Tennessee governor announced the new plant in October 2015, they did so in front of an HPR background. Local media also reported HPR would be manufactured there.

Advanced Tactical Armament Concepts founder Jim Antich on Wednesday said the Payson ammunition manufacturing firm hopes to resume operations next week, a month after difficulties over financing forced the shutdown of the plant and the furloughing of about 45 workers.

School locked down after police warning Woman’s ‘bad day’ spurs action, frightens parents

Teachers at Julia Randall Elementary School rushed to lock themselves and their students in classrooms, the library and other buildings after Payson Police advised the school to go on “lockdown.”

“This was called by the Payson Police Department and specifically Chief Engler,” said Superintendent Greg Wyman.

Police later said they asked for the lockdown on Monday just as school let out because a woman having “a bad day” left her home with a knife.

Wyman said when the school received the news, they immediately went into lockdown making the announce-

ment over the intercom.

“We were able to get the students on their buses and on their way home as normal,” he said. “There were approximately 20 students and a few parents at parent pick up. These students/parents were escorted into our school library to lockdown.”

But those teachers, students and parents had no idea why the lockdown had been ordered.

Jolynn Schinstock, a JRE parent, on Monday night told the school board the half hour she spent in the library with students and teachers proved traumatic.

“That was the most terrifying 30 minutes of my life.

We were in the library and we had no idea what level the threat was. Was there an active shooter? It was ter-

rifying. I know it’s probably the right thing to do. There were a lot of us in the library who were scared. I was waiting for pop pop pop — or is there somebody out there with a knife?

“A lot of us were on our phones texting trying to find out what was going on: Are we really in danger or hold on a moment while the police find this crazy person walking around in the area?

“Even when we were released, we were still on lockdown and they were one-on-one walking kids to their cars. But we still did not know what was going on. It was a terrifying 30 minutes — I think I lost about five years of my life.”

Judge rejects Greer’s bid to drop three charges Former Pine water, posse treasurer still facing 7 charges

by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

Judge Timothy Wright denied efforts to dismiss three of the eight counts of fraud and conflict of interest against Mike Greer, the former treasurer for the Pine Strawberry Water Improvement District and the Mounted Posse.

A grand jury indicted Greer of fraud, conflict of interest, theft and forgery after the Auditor General published a report based on months of research into Greer’s activities with the two organizations.

Greer attended the Oct. 24 hearing to hear his lawyer Jason Lamm argue against the case presented by Assistant Attorney General Mary Harriss. He also listened to John Bliven, his former brother-in-law who loaned Greer money to keep him out of jail while the investigation ensued.

Greer’s appearance has changed since learning of the indictment, shedding weight, wearing glasses and developing more gray hair. As Greer sat quietly at the table, dressed in a plaid shirt, jeans and work boots.

Lamm asked the judge to dismiss Counts 6 and 7, saying the grand jury did not have enough evidence.

“I don’t mean to use the old adage, but the perception is that a grand jury would indict a ham sandwich. So while this is not a debate as to the quantum of evidence provided to the grand jury in terms of its sufficiency, there needs to be something in the record that supports the charge,” he said.

Lamm criticized a statement in the Auditor General’s report claiming Greer had used money he stole from the Mounted Posse to pay for a vacation rental in Mexico. Just because money went

Fire disaster averted by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

A family is out of their home after a grease fire Monday night.

The fire started around 8 p.m. after a teen living in the home put oil in a pan to fry pinwheels and then walked away.

When the 14-year-old returned to the kitchen, the pot of oil had boiled over and started a fire on the stovetop. The fire was making its way up the wall and to overhanging cabinets when a single sprinkler in the kitchen was activated. When firefighters arrived, the sprinklers had already doused the fire.

Battalion Chief Jim Rasmussen said the sprinkler saved not only the kitchen, but likely stopped a larger fire from damaging the whole apartment complex at 209 S. Ponderosa St. Rasmussen warned residents not to leave anything unattended when cooking.

If heating oil, start on a medium setting and increase the heat as needed. Do not start on the highest setting.

If a grease fire does start, cover it with a lid if you can safely do so without burning yourself, Rasmussen said. Do not put water on it.

No other sprinklers in the apartment came on. Firefighters shut the single sprinkler off when they arrived. Rasmussen estimated it ran for about 15 minutes before crews shut it off. That works out to about 120 gallons of water.

Firefighters helped clean up the water in the unit until a clean up crew arrived.

Rasmussen said water damage to the unit would likely keep the family out of the home for a week.

The Red Cross will provide the family with assistance.

The unoccupied unit below suffered water damage to its ceiling.

Photographer DJ Craig captured this idyllic fall afternoon at Water Wheel, a popular swimming spot on the East Verde River off Houston Mesa Road just past Beaver Valley. Water Wheel should be a great place to hang out this weekend, with the forecast calling for sunny skies and temperatures in the upper 70s. Skies should cloud up early next week, but there’s no rain in the forecast. The cottonwoods and sycamores along the East Verde have started to turn, despite the lack of freezing nights that normally kick off a strong display of fall colors. If you want to take a fall color hike this weekend, try the East Verde or maybe See Canyon (see story, page 19).

The Payson Lioness Club and Payson Area Woofers Society staged a fundraiser to raise money to train guide dogs for the blind, with help from Pet Club. It can cost $40,000 to train one dog.

People and canines came together in support of a good cause in Payson on Saturday.

The Payson Lioness Club and Payson Area Woofers Society (PAWS) sponsored A Dog Day Out at Pet Club, a fundraiser with proceeds benefiting Leader Dogs For The Blind.

“That dog cost $40,000,” said Payson Lioness Club member Marion Karstadt, pointing to a Leader Dog For The Blind. “It takes a lot of training.”

She said the organization currently has 13 working dog teams (dog and owner) in Arizona.

The event featured several vendors offering a variety of services from dog nail clipping, microchip implants, nutrient information, handouts, games, prizes and more.

Highlighting the event were contests for best canine vocalist, most amazing pet trick, waggingest tail, pet and owner look alike and best theme costume.

Gila County Animal Control offered pet adoptions.

“It’s gone very well,” said Payson Lioness Club vice president Pam Padilla.

“We’ve had quite a few people show up.”

Payson Lioness Club president Barb Stratton said she hopes this becomes an annual event.

This file photo shows workers in the HPR ammunition plant in Payson. The plant has been closed for a month due to problems with financing, but owners expect to resume operations next week.

Ammunition maker to reopen From page 1 Jim said making the announcement in front of the HPR branded logo background was a mistake and “hurt us,” but they didn’t even want to make the announcement then. He said the governor insisted so they went ahead although they felt it was too soon to make the announcement.

“Officials in Tennessee knew that HPR was just a brand, they knew we were going to make “ABC,” they didn’t care about HPR, nobody cares about HPR, it is us, it is what we do, our quality,” he said, referring to the talent he and his son and staff bring to ammunition manufacturing.

Tennessee news outlets reported that AMI would invest some $500 million in the plant, generating 600 jobs at the 235-acre site. Jim Wednesday said that was a “little misleading” because in phase I the investment will total $291 million and will provide 477 jobs. Phase II will add the other jobs.

The company had explored building the additional plant on an empty piece of land in Granite Dells in Payson, but abandoned that plan due to the expense of building on the site and opposition to the plans locally.

Jim said after the Tennessee announcement, the company faced two lawsuits. One is from former partners in Scottsdale, who claim they created the HPR brand and that ATAC violated their trademark for HPR. ATAC has filed counterclaim.

The other lawsuit is from former ATAC president, Mark Kresser, who says ATAC violated his employment agreement.

Read more about those lawsuits in an upcoming Roundup article.

In a release, ATAC stressed that it is a “completely different company” from AMI and operate as such.

“Jim Antich and Jeff Antich are two of the officers of ATAC, but ATAC’s corporate structure and operations are completely separate from the entity to be based in Tennessee,” said Mary Beth West, of Mary Beth West Communications, which is handling the Antich’s public relations.

Tennessee offered the Antichs incentives to open a plant there. Under that contract, the Antichs have two years to break ground and make progress with construction, West said. With year one ending, AMI is making progress to open that plant, she added.

“As with any major project in excess of $300 million in its initial phase one development, there are many elements to manage on a relatively short timeline. However, we feel confident that AMI is well poised to stay on track with its agreement with local and state governmental entities in Tennessee,” Jim said in a statement released through West. “AMI is working steadfastly to manage the many complexities of this important project — one which it is fully committed to bringing to Blount County, Tenn., at

the level of operation and on the timeline as originally planned.”

Jim said while they are excited to expand to Tennessee, they have no plans to close the Payson facility. He said they actually plan to expand, upping production from 25 million rounds a year to 100 million in Payson.

However, if he feels the community no longer wants ATAC in Payson they will leave.

“I am feeling that I am not wanted here,” he said. “Because if they don’t want us here we could move this all.”

Jim said it has not been easy to recruit employees, such as a quality engineer, to live in Payson’s rural community.

“It is hard to find people,” he said.

In 2014, the Antichs proposed building a new facility in Payson in the Granite Dells area. When that went before the town, several members of the community spoke out, saying they were against an ammunition plant in that area, popular with hikers.

Jim said they abandoned plans to build in the Granite Dells because the site was not big enough for their needs.

Jim said he wants to keep ATAC in Payson “forever.”

Asked if they lost any employees during the recent plant closure, Jim said they had probably lost a couple, but would not give specifics. The plant has about 45 employees. They hope to expand to 60.

School lockdown alarms some parents From page 1 Wyman said the school’s initial announcement told everyone about the lockdown, but the police had not given the district much information.

“The initial announcement told everyone of the lockdown,” said Wyman. “There would be no change to the announcement until the police change the situation.”

The district can text only the parents and staff from a single school, but communication about the situation was limited to what the school knew.

As it turned out, the woman apparently never came close to campus and never did anything dangerous anyway.

The woman reportedly left her home in the 500 block of West Frontier Street with a knife of some kind around 2:30 p.m., say police. A family member called police to report she had left and they didn’t know where she was headed or what her intentions were.

Officers learned the woman had been spotted in the general area of the school and out of an “abundance of caution” police called school officials and instructed them to go into a lockdown, said Police Chief Don Engler.

When school ended, officers stood by in

the parking lot as students were picked up.

“At one point, Officer Engler felt the parking lot was secured by the police and he states students could be released to parents that were waiting in their cars,” said Wyman. “Teachers and staff were also able to leave the school through the front doors where police were present.”

One student approached Engler and asked what had happened. He told him a woman was “having a bad day.”

Police later learned the woman had returned to her home. When they went back to the home, the woman fled. Officers found her around 3:45 p.m. northwest of the Senior Center. It is unknown if she was arrested or brought to a hospital for medical care. No one was injured.

The school district recently developed a plan for handling emergencies, including procedures for ordering lockdowns, improved communications and making it so that teachers can lock rooms from the inside in case of a threat on campus. The system got a dry run last year when police asked for a lockdown as they searched for an armed robbery suspect near the high school and middle school.

Wyman said the school often doesn’t receive the details of the threat when Payson Police ask for a lockdown.

“The police requested a lockdown,” said Wyman. “Depending on the circumstances, you may get more — or less — information. You try to send out through the school messenger — put it on the website. The problem we ran into here is that we had kids on buses — so it was a little bit confusing. Some kids are frozen (in locked classrooms) and others aren’t. If I’m walking my kids to the bus — and I get a lockdown — and I’m sitting by the library, then into the library I go.”

Parents then find themselves on the outside or waiting for the buses.

“We lock the doors from the inside. So parents get into the building. So it was a little bit confusing for some parents,” said Wyman.

The district did send out an auto-dialer call at 6 p.m. that evening letting parents know there had been a lockdown called by the Payson PD. Wyman also said there are always ways to improve the district’s response to emergencies.

“As with any event, the district will analyze the situation and look for ways to improve,” he said. “We meet on a regular basis with the Emergency Response Planning team (school officials and police) and we will use the next meeting to debrief.”

Dark money strikes again

• Oct. 30, 1864: The town of Helena, Mont., is founded by four gold miners who strike it rich at the “Last Chance Gulch.” Eventually, Last Chance Gulch would prove to be the second biggest gold deposit in Montana.

• Oct. 28, 1904: The St. Louis Police Department became the first to use fingerprinting.

• Oct. 29, 1948: Killer smog hovers over Donora, Pa., trapping the sulphuric acid, carbon monoxide and other pollutants released by steel mills and a zinc smelting plant. By the time rain washed the air, 20 people had perished and thousands were ill.

• Oct. 27, 1970: Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice released a double-LP “concept” album called “Jesus Christ Superstar” after they were unable to find financial backing for a stage production due to the nature of the story.

We spoke too soon.

No sooner had we taken comfort from the apparent decision of APS to sit out the current election than the giant utility company decided to spend $1 million to elect three Republicans to the Arizona Corporation Commission.

Clearly, they want commissioners who will grant them an 8 percent rate increase — and maybe snuff out solar in Arizona.

Meanwhile, SolarCity — the nation’s largest installer of rooftop solar systems — has also spent upward of $1 million to sway the election its way.

This astonishing, perfectly legal corruption of the political system all stems from the U.S. Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision, which came to the ridiculous conclusion that special interest groups and corporations have all the free speech rights of real people.

Despite a nudge from the Supreme Court in its disastrous, system-corrupting decision, neither Congress nor the Arizona Legislature has lifted a finger to require these dark money groups to reveal how much they spend and what they spend it on.

So now we must witness the dismaying spectacle of two special interest groups completely dominating the election of the people who will regulate them.

Two years ago, APS spent a reported $3.2 million to elect two Republican incumbents, who have faithfully supported their every request ever since.

Now, the utility with a government-granted monopoly to provide power to Rim Country and some 1.1 million other customers figures it had better make sure it seats a friendly commission — with billions of dollars on the line.

The utility company wanted to impose new fees and cut payments to solar customers so drastically that it could dramatically reduce solar installations in a state awash in sunlight.

Curiously, the dark money campaign will also benefit Republican Bob Burns, who the company has resisted due to his demands that the company reveal the full extent of its dark money spending. The other four Republicans on the commission have refused to support Burns’ push for disclosure — including incumbent Andy Tobin, running for re-election and Boyd Dunn, seeking to fill an empty seat.

APS argues that Democrats Tom Chabin and Bill Mundell have openly criticized the company for its dark money campaign — and even its executive salaries, with the CEO pulling in more than $1 million a month.

Contrast the APS’s chief executives $12 million salary to that of the Salt River Project, where the chief executive makes $1.2 million annually. SRP, by the way, also runs a huge irrigation and reservoir system — and has just put through a rate decrease.

We believe the voters ought to reject APS’s effort to buy this election.

Even more importantly, we think voters should make it clear to Congress, in the state Legislature or on the Corporation Commission that we must overturn Citizens United, require full disclosure and prevent the hostile takeover of our government by special interests.

Taking Clinton’s health agenda from good to great by

Kenneth E. Thorpe

emory university professor

Hillary Clinton wants to change the way we treat mental illness and drug addiction.

As she put it at a recent campaign stop, too many American lives “are either being totally undermined or shortened” by these devastating conditions.

She’s absolutely right, and Secretary Clinton deserves credit for making mental health and substance addiction so central to her agenda. Reducing their enormous social burden needs to begin with significant breakthroughs in treatment.

More than 42 million American adults suffer from some form of mental disorder, while another 40 million fight some form of substance addiction. Although these illnesses can be tragic in their own right, they are part of an even more dire health crisis: a growing epidemic of chronic diseases.

In the next 15 years, 80 percent of Americans will suffer from at least one chronic disease — illnesses that include everything from diabetes to schizophrenia.

Treating these conditions now accounts for 86 cents of every dollar spent on health care. Over the next decade and a half, these conditions are on pace to cost our economy an astounding $42 trillion.

Fortunately, these trends aren’t inevi-

table. But preventing this bleak future will require a comprehensive strategy aimed at promoting healthy lifestyles, expanding access to care, and igniting medical innovation.

When combined, these three approaches can help avoid as many as 169 million cases of chronic illness in the coming years, according to a recent analysis by IHS Life Sciences. The savings to our economy would total as much as $6.3 trillion.

Many of Secretary Clinton’s health policies would make important progress towards this goal. In particular, her promises to expand coverage and boost funding for community health centers are deeply encouraging. But she also needs to get rising insurance costs under control so that patients can access the newest and best medicines.

A new national survey from the Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease reveals many Americans are drowning in excessive insurance costs. Four in 10 say that their out-of-pocket health costs have gone up over the previous year.

And these rising expenses are hitting our most vulnerable citizens the hardest: nearly a third of seniors report that insurance premiums are the biggest health care-related drain on their family budget.

Worse still, many insurance companies

throw up administrative blockades that prevent enrollees from receiving timely care.

Fully seven out of 10 surveyed report having trouble with their health insurance over the previous year. Common complaints include difficulty finding an in-network doctor and the denial of coverage for a treatment recommended by a doctor.

Reducing insurance cost-sharing and improving plan benefits would boost access to needed care for the chronically ill. Too often, even if these patients have insurance, they still can’t afford the recommended treatments because their benefits are so thin. They’re burdened with high deductibles, co-pays, co-insurance, and other costly features.

Secretary Clinton’s pledge to tackle the issues of mental illness and drug addiction is worth celebrating. But patients facing high cost sharing are less likely to use needed health care services, resulting in even worse health care outcomes. Removing these financial roadblocks to seeking care is important for all chronically ill patients.

Outlining approaches to reduce these barriers is likely to reduce overall spending and improve health care outcomes.

Kenneth E. Thorpe is professor of health policy at Emory University and chairman of the Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease.

John McCain and Jeff Flake refuse to openly endorse their party’s nominee and both try to take the moral high ground and lecture us to justify their treason to voters.

John says Republicans need to reconcile after the election; no John, there needs to be a reckoning and that means you, Flake and the other posers in the party need to pay the price for your betrayal. Any party politician who does not openly and willingly endorse their candidate for president I will not vote for — as a matter of fact, I will vote for your opponent.

You can say what you want about the Democrats, but they always stick together even after fighting it out.

The dye is cast John, win or lose, you and the other sham artists’ days are numbered — rightly so.

More signs for the trash

Scary times

Editor: I find it, with a great deal of humor; that some will complain that the signs they put up on private property are taken down. I, and only I, have consent to have signs on my property. For those of you that have nine times put signs on my property I would like to thank you for the extra wire I get to keep from said signs. But please stop, my trash can is getting full.

Terrifying.

And a sign of these sad times.

This week, Payson Unified School District officials got a cryptic warning from police about potential dangers in the neighborhood. The police suggested officials lockdown Julia Randall Elementary School, just as kids were heading for the school buses.

School officials acted with great poise and efficiency — immediately sending out word to teachers to take students heading for the buses back to the classrooms, libraries or other buildings, lock the doors and wait for information.

The district didn’t have much information on the threat feared by police — so officials couldn’t provide much reassurance for students, parents and teachers waiting fearfully for roughly 30 minutes in those carefully locked classrooms.

One parent told the Payson School Board that it proved one of the most frightening 30 minutes of her life. She waited for the sounds of shooting out on the campus and wondered where her children had ended up.

As it turned out, the Payson Police were acting from an “abundance of caution,” upon receiving word that a potentially disturbed woman who might have a knife might be somewhere near the campus. It proved a false alarm.

Still, everyone involved acted with calm professionalism and concern for the students. We’re lucky to have such teachers and such police officers. We’re not so lucky to live in times when those teachers and police officers and school officials must consider the possibility some crazed person would want to hurt children on school grounds.

That said, the police should have provided school officials with better information — quickly updated. The terrible possibilities justify caution. But remember, those same terrible possibilities haunt us all. Surely, we can keep our children safe — without subjecting them to that blank, half-hour of terror.

Dentists help veterans Editor: Fall is here, and Payson dentists are gearing up for their fourth annual Veterans Day event to be held, Thursday and Friday, Nov. 10 and 11. Last year, Payson dentists, in conjunction with Denture Specialists, provided $42,441 in free services to our local veterans.

“We are thankful to live in a free country, and are grateful for the hard work and dedication of our soldiers. This is our way of giving back,” says Dr. Kristin Wade, owner and full-time dentist at Payson Premier Dental.

The Veterans Day event started with Dr. Thomas Mattern, former owner of Payson Premier Dental (then High Desert Dentistry). When Dr. Wade purchased the practice in 2015, she chose to continue this valuable community service in Payson.

Traitors in the party Editor: Soon our nation will select a new president and as I consider the campaigning I ask myself, “Where do we go from here?”

If nothing else, this election has been a shining example of the deep divisions in our country and a harbinger of the political and social unrest that will surely follow regardless of who wins.

Like two tectonic plates ready to release their grip on one another and unleash waves of destructive force, I believe this election will be the catalyst for social and political unrest such as this country has not seen in many decades.

Can this be a good thing? Yes, from time to time we need to right the ship.

Leaning towards communism Editor: I know that neither candidate for president is a prize. However, Hillary is leaning more towards communism all the time, and most people just don’t see it. She is a pathetic liar, especially to the people of this country.

Stop and think why Trump is playing up the shenanigans? He needs attention, and is not as dumb as people make him out to be.

No experience; did Obama have any? No! It is imperative that you all go out to vote or our USA will become a third-world country.

Dark money groups dominate

Talking REAL ESTATE

APS will spend $1 million to elect its own regulators by

Peter Aleshire

Top 5 Independent Expenditure Groups

roundup editor

Arizona Public Service has announced it will spend $1 million to get three Republicans elected to the Arizona Corporation Commission — including Commissioner Bob Burns who has crusaded to force the company to reveal its spending two years ago to elect two of the incumbent commissioners.

The company is seeking an 8 percent rate increase and new rules that will potentially smother the rooftop solar industry in the state.

Republicans Andy Tobin and Boyd Dunn have both refused to support Burns’ effort to force disclosure of the APS or Pinnacle West expenditure of a reported $3 million to influence the race two years ago.

Pinnacle West — APS’s parent company — will reveal what it’s spending the $1 million on after the election, according to an APS spokesman.

The announcement by APS concluded that Democratic candidates Bill Mundell and Tom Chabin have so consistently criticized APS both for its previous dark money political campaign and for its proposals to reduce incentives for rooftop solar customers that the company had concluded they couldn’t fairly consider the company’s needs.

“They have from the start of the campaign made Pinnacle West and APS enemy No. 1,” said a company spokesman.

Meanwhile, SolarCity reportedly funded an independent expenditure group called Save our AZ Solar, which spent an estimated $686,522 during the Republican primary in an independent expenditure campaign to support Burns — then contending with four other candidates for one of the three Republican nominations for the seat. That’s about 10 times as much as Burns spent on his own campaign from donations made directly to that campaign.

People who donate directly to a campaign have strict limits on how much they can contribute, which is intended to prevent a candidate from becoming beholden to a single donor.

However, under the terms of the U.S. Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling, special interests and corporations can spend as much as they want so long as they don’t directly coordinate their campaigns with the candidates they’re supporting.

Companies can form independent expenditure committees for strictly political purposes, which means they eventually have to disclose what they’re spending.

However, companies can also file with the federal Internal Revenue Service to form nonprofit groups that have a social purpose — but also spend money on independent political campaigns. Those groups don’t have to reveal the source of their money or what they spend so long as they remain in good standing with the Internal Revenue Service.

The distinction between the two types of independent political groups remains murky and the connections between the candidates and the dark money groups almost impossible to monitor.

Neither Congress nor the Arizona Legislature took advantage of U.S. Supreme Court suggestions that they could require the dark money groups to disclose their spending and sources of funding.

Congress has ignored the suggestion.

The Arizona Legislature this year actually passed SB1516 that swore off any state role in regulating the dark money groups so long as they remained in good standing with the IRS, surely the first time the Arizona Legislature has abdicated in favor of federal regulation. The Legislature also reduced to misdemeanors violations of the laws that remain. The change in the campaign finance laws also made it possible for one elected official to bundle up contributions from businesses and special interests and pass them along to other candidates, all without revealing the source of the money.

The law to loosen the last

Out of the 200 independent expenditure groups that have filed so far, here are the five biggest spenders.

The total doesn’t include dark money groups like the one formed by APS to invest $1 million in supporting three Republicans running for the Arizona Corporation Commission.

Save our Solar: The group has spent $1.2 million, most of it supporting Republican Bob Burns in the Republican primary.

Boyd Dunn

Andy Tobin

Responsible Leadership for AZ: This conservative group has spent $100,000 supporting various Republican legislative candidates, including Rep. Noel Campbell, Rep. Kate Brophy McGee, Rep. Sonny Borrelli, Rep. Rusty Bowers and others. Most of the money comes from the Realtors of Arizona PAC. American Federation for Children: This pro-choice education group supports things like charter schools and taxpayer-supported vouchers to pay for private school costs. The group has spent at least $230,000 so far. Most of its money has gone to Republican lawmakers, who this year came close to approving expanding the limited Empowerment Scholarship Fund to almost every school district in the state. The scholarships would provide something like $5,000 in taxpayer-provided voucher money for parents who want to put their kids in private schools.

Stand for Children Arizona This group has spent $200,000 in support of candidates it believes support public schools. The money has gone to both Republicans and Democrats. The group is chaired by Rebecca Gau, former Gov. Jan Brewer’s director of the office of education.

Revitalize Arizona A union-supported, left-leaning group who has mostly supported moderate Republicans.

Bob Burns few restraints on dark money groups drew the support of Rim Country’s entire delegation, including House members Brenda Barton (R-Payson) and Bob Thorpe (R-Flagstaff).

Their Democratic opponents — former Jerome mayor Nikki Bagley and former superintendent of schools Alex Martinez — have criticized the measure.

Dark money groups have played an increasingly dominant role in fundraising since the Supreme Court ruling in Citizens United in 2010.

In 1998, independent expenditure groups spent $328,000 adjusted for inflation, according to an article in Capitol Times. Candidates at that time spent far more in money contributed directly to them, with legal disclosure of the source.

However, in 2012 after the Citizens United decision, dark money spending in Arizona jumped to $28 million, including $1.8 million backing Gov. Doug Ducey’s campaign and $6.4 million spent to oppose his Democratic opponent, Fred Duvall. That amounted to three times as much as Duvall raised from donations to his campaign.

The dark money contributions this year will likely remain much lower, with no statewide offices up for grabs.

However, dark money spending has spiraled in federal contests. The New York Times reported this weekend that Donald Trump has drawn about $63 million in dark money support while Hillary Clinton has drawn an estimated $180 million.

The hard-fought, high-stakes contest for control of the Arizona Corporation Commission will once again serve as the poster child for dark money spending in Arizona.

The solar industry hasn’t revealed yet how much money it’s spending in the general election campaign, but the $1 million plan by APS will likely exceed everything the five can-

What to Do If Your Home Doesn’t Appraise for Its Purchase Price

It can be a bit of a surprise if your home turns out to be valued at less than the purchase price offered, but this is the type of thing that can occur in an appraisal situation. Especially in a market were prices are going up. While this can change everything from your contract to the amount of your down payment if your home has been appraised at less than you envisioned, here are some options you may want to consider.

Review The Appraisal Contingency Clause - If an appraisal contingency clause is built into the terms of your contract, this means that the terms of your contract can be re-evaluated and re-negotiated if an appraisal happens to come up short. In the Arizona Residential Purchases Contract there is an “Appraisal Contingency” this is what it says – Buyer’s obligation to complete this sale is contingent upon an appraisal of the Premises acceptable to lender for at least the purchase price. If the Premises fail to appraise for the purchases price in any appraisal required by lender, Buyer has 5 days after notice of the appraised value to cancel this Contract and receive a refund of the Earnest Money or the appraisal contingency shall be waived. While this is meant primarily to protect the homebuyer against a lower appraisal, it doesn’t mean that the terms of a new deal can’t be met for the good of both parties.

Get A Second Appraisal - It’s entirely possible that the initial appraisal is accurate, but it doesn’t necessarily hurt to get a second opinion in the event that the first appraisal seems too low. Whether it happens to be good news or bad news, it can be worth the peace of mind to know how to proceed.

Consider A Lower Price - It’s less than ideal when your home is appraised for less than the purchase price, but this doesn’t have to be a deal breaker when it comes to selling it. While you may be able to get away with a higher price for your home in a hot real estate market, if things have cooled off, this can be an important time to re-negotiate the deal you’ve got. If a potential buyer likes your home and has already made an offer, they may be happy to decide on new contract terms.

What’s next? - It can be quite disappointing if your home is appraised at a value that is less than the offer you’ve received, but this doesn’t necessarily mean that you’ll have to put your home back on the market. Whether you and the potential buyer decide to re-negotiate or get a second opinion, there are options that can be beneficial for both parties.

didates raise by a wide margin.

The stakes for APS are considerable, with its request for an 8 percent rate increase almost the first item on the agenda in the spring for whoever wins the commission race.

APS also wants to impose new charges on people who install rooftop solar systems.

Solar industry supporters say the demand charges will reduce the value of solar systems for homeowners. Also, APS wants permission to pay much less for excess power generated by the solar rooftop panels, so reducing the incentives for installing solar systems that it could cripple the industry.

APS maintains that the new charges would ensure that solar energy customers pay their fair share of the cost of the infrastructure on which they continue to rely when the sun’s not shining.

However, supporters of the solar systems say that argument ignores the benefits to the entire system of having more solar and wind generated power, which puts off the time APS would need to build expensive new power generating systems. They maintain the Corporation Commission bases the profit margin for the company’s government-granted monopoly on its total investment. Therefore, the company’s profit margin is based on its investment in things like power plants.

“If they build a fossil fuel plant, they get to put that in rate base and raise everybody’s

rates, solar and non-solar alike, so rooftop solar benefits the non-solar customers as well,” said Mundell a former state senator and former Corporation Commissioner.

Tom Chabin, a former state senator, said the shift to “net metering” would also hurt consumers. He said APS wants to pay lower, wholesale rates for the excess power generated by the solar systems — which it can sell to other homeowners at higher, retail rates.

“When I produce the kilowatt hour that’s extra in that total, where does it go? It goes to my next door neighbor,” said Chabin, for which APS charges the retail rate.

Wolves now foster parents by

Peter Aleshire

roundup editor

Mexican gray wolves have proved willing to raise pups born to other parents in captivity and slipped into their dens.

Biologists hailed the success of the effort in “cross fostering” the endangered wolves, saying it will boost the chance the wolves will ultimately establish a self-sustaining population in Arizona and New Mexico.

The experiment involved two pups born in the Brookfield Zoo in Illinois, but then slipped into the den of a wolf pair in Arizona.

In April, five Mexican wolf pups were born at the Illinois zoo, part of the ongoing captive breeding program that has sustained the reintroduction effort.

Biologists placed two of the pups in the den of the Arizona-based Elk Horn Pack of wild wolves, which already had a litter. The technique, which has proven successful with wolves and other wildlife, shows promise to improve the genetic diversity of the wild wolf population.

On Sept. 18, the Mexican wolf Interagency Field Team captured a male wolf pup from the pack. A genetic test revealed it was one of the two pups born in the zoo. During the capture and handling, biologists gave the wolf a brief exam, administered vaccines, and fitted him with a radio collar, which will allow the Interagency Field Team to track him and learn important information about the animal’s survival, dispersal, and potential new pack formation in the future.

The Arizona Game and Fish Department, the Chicago Zoological Society (CZS), the Endangered Wolf Center (EWC), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the White Mountain Apache Tribe all collaborated in the effort.

At least one additional cross-fostered pup has survived with the Panther Creek Pack in Arizona. In May, biologists added two Mexican wolf pups born at the Endangered Wolf Center

in Missouri to a five-pup litter in the den of the Panther Creek Pack, increasing the litter size to seven. The Panther Creek Pack was recently confirmed as having at minimum of six pups.

“We are thrilled to hear that cross-fostered pups have been located and are doing well with their foster packs,” said Bill Zeigler, senior vice president of animal programs for CZS. “The success of the program is a true testament to the collaboration with our partners.”

“A big advantage of cross-fostering is that we’re introducing wolf pups that have had minimal contact with humans offering a chance to improve genetic diversity while maintaining social tolerance for Mexican wolf recovery,” said Jim deVos, assistant director for Wildlife Management for Arizona Game and Fish.

Wolf biologists attempted an additional cross-fostering adoption last April, this one involving two pups born at the Endangered Wolf Center placed in the den of the New Mexicobased Sheepherder’s Baseball Park Pack. The Interagency Field Team continues efforts to document pup survival in this pack.

This year is the first time since 1998 when the Mexican Wolf Recovery Program began releasing Mexican wolves back into the wild that pups born in the captive breeding program have been successfully cross-fostered into the wild. In 2015, the Interagency Field Team fostered two pups from one wild litter to another, and has recently confirmed one of those pups is alive in the wild.

This pup, M1347, set off exploring apparently with an uncollared female.

Currently, 243 Mexican gray wolves live in captive breeding programs in 54 institutions.

As of December 2015, at least 97 Mexican gray wolves lived in the wild along the border between Arizona and New Mexico centered on Alpine.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed greatly expanding the area in which it will introduce wolves and let them wander without the threat of recapture. If approved, the expansion would allow the wolves to move into Rim Country.

Payson depends on fire, police grants by

WEATHERREPORT Forecast by the National Weather Service

Friday

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

Payson has secured $385,000 in funding recently to outfit police with new radios, firefighters with breathing masks, improve a section of the American Gulch and to help crime victims.

The council approved all of these contracts at the Oct. 20 council meeting.

Beth Beck, the town’s grant coordinator, said the town is receiving $21,600 from the Attorney General’s Office to help run Payson’s Victims Rights Program. The money goes toward a parttime coordinator to run the program. The town has received the funding every year since 2013.

The coordinator notifies victims of upcoming court dates, rulings and their rights.

Police meanwhile will receive $44,500 from the Arizona Department of Homeland Security to buy portable radios and headsets for the town’s Special Response Team. The town is providing $16,000 in matching funds for the radios.

Police Chief Don Engler said the radios would allow SRT members to not only communicate more efficiently with each other, but other agencies as well.

He said the units represent a step up from the current radios and will benefit officers.

For firefighters, the U.S. Fire Administration has awarded the town $310,000 to buy 43 self-contained breathing apparatus. Firefighters wear breathing masks on all home fires and many other calls where they might breathe in harmful chemicals or smoke.

Finally, the Gila County Board of Supervisors is giving the town $8,500 for Phase I of the American Gulch project on Main Street. A small section of the pathway from the Sawmill Crossing to Westerly was recently worked on, with a path on either side added, along with benches and signage.

missing from the Mounted Posse account doesn’t mean Greer used that money for the purchase, said Lamm. “… as to Count 7, the response points out, that there was a vacation rental, etc. that was paid for, yet there is no correlation between misstated balances if you would,” said Lamm.

Counts 6 and 7 refer to Greer stealing from the Mounted Posse and then trying to put the money back before the theft could be discovered with the money he borrowed from Bliven.

Harriss responded that the grand jury had plenty of evidence to support the charge.

“The state presented more than adequate evidence in both of these instances to show that there was an intent to defraud,” she said. “And I believe the intent to defraud is demonstrated by the fact that in each of these incidences, the defendant misrepresents or lies about what his intentions are.”

In the Auditor General’s report, the evidence used to prove that Greer had stolen from the posse included recordings of meetings where Greer misrepresented the true balances in the posse’s bank account. Greer never gave the posse its bank account records, so they did not know they were out of funds until it became impossible to ignore.

“So in order to facilitate his scheme and to make sure that nobody catches what he’s doing or puts an end to the theft from the posse, he’s misrepresenting the balances during these

meetings. So I think that the fact that there’s fraud shows his intent to deprive because he does not want anybody to find out that these steps are occurring.”

Judge Wright agreed and denied the motion to throw out Counts 6 and 7.

Count 4 had to do with Greer using the PSWID credit card to charge $2,299 for personal use.

Lamm argued that because PSWID did not explicitly have a policy regarding credit card use by board members, Greer couldn’t have violated that policy. He based his argument on a letter written by the Pine water board’s attorney.

Lamm argued, “… the issue becomes whether or not he acted with lawful authority and it is the legal opinion of the board’s attorney and arguably of the board, which is the victim in this case, that in fact the defendant did have lawful authority absent a specific prohibition in the board’s procedures and regulations to permit such conduct,” said Lamm.

“That legally is clearly exculpatory because it negates the element of the defendant not having lawful authority.”

However, Harriss countered that the water board attorney’s letter didn’t specifically talk about Greer’s actions, it just said the board had no policy regarding the credit card.

She went on to say that Greer kept using the card even after the board told him to stop.

At some point, the defendant was confronted with the usage of the card and he was told to stop doing that,” she said. “I think for sure from that point forward you have him no

longer able to use that card,” which makes the lack of a policy on using the credit card irrelevant.”

Judge Wright said he didn’t think the letter about the lack of a credit card policy would make a difference to the count of theft, so he denied the motion.

Then Wright gave Bliven a chance to speak. “Mr. Bliven, as a victim you have a right to be heard,” he said.

Bliven said he loaned $32,000 to Greer “to keep him out of jail. He told me about the story of the Pine water district and the situation. Basically the way he approached me with the loan request was that if he didn’t have money immediately, he was going to be put in jail,” said Bliven.

Greer told him he needed the money to post a bond, Bliven

said.

“I asked him for a copy of the bond and the specifics of the — who was going to be handling it and who was point of contact for the case and he wrote a letter from the PineStrawberry water district that basically it was a fraudulent letter,” said Bliven.

He said Greer took stationery from PSWID, wrote the letter and forged the name of another to validate the letter.

Bliven said Greer made no effort to pay back this loan, so Bliven went to civil court and won a judgment against Greer for $39,000, “because of the all the costs that I incurred as a result of this loan ... All’s I’ve heard from Mike from the very start has been lies ... Mike has troubles, he needs to address those troubles.”

Imagine a playoff run Imagine this.

Payson qualifies for the Class 3A state football playoffs with a 5-5 record.

The No. 14 Longhorns will do just that with a win in the regular season finale tonight at No. 22 Holbrook (2-6).

OK, that seems reasonable enough.

But then imagine these Longhorns shock the state for four weeks in November and win the state championship.

Harder to conceive? more than I’ll grant you a game that.

But that’s just what they’re planning.

And I’m telling you, these kids can do it.

I believe.

The reason is Keith Morris simple — they’ve got what it takes.

They’ve got the size, strength, speed and raw talent.

And, in addition to good coaching, they’ve something else — determination and heart.

With 15 seniors, they’ve got the senior leadership so crucial in putting together a championship run.

Guys like quarterback Ryan Ricke and his Houdini-like ability to avoid sacks and come through with crucial completions.

Guys like J.T. Dolinich and Cameron Ross, who rank among the fastest and most elusive running backs in the state.

Guys like Angel Jacquez and Dailin Playoff Keith, who brackets make clutch revealed catches and shut down an Saturday opponent’s passing game The Class 3A (Jacquez) and football state win battles in tournament the trenches bracket will be revealed (Keith).

Guys like run-stopping nose guard Wyatt Richardson, who wears offensive linemen out battling him for four quarters.

Guys like defensive end Jeremiah Hamm, who along with Glasscock terrorizes opposing quarterbacks.

Guys like kicker Kenny Ayres, whose accuracy on extra points and field goals and his ability to pin opponents deep on kickoffs is only matched by his courage.

And that’s not even mentioning seniors Brandon Moore, Carver Bonn, Jeremiah Krieger, Emerson Carr and Franciso Apodaca; and juniors DiAndre Terry, Jason Bland, Trent Cline and Shane Law, who’ve also been key this season.

I wasn’t shocked when the Longhorns came within a gutsy twopoint conversion try of upsetting Show Low, currently ranked No. 1.

They threatened to beat No. 3 Snowflake before a drive in the final minute stalled.

And they pushed Round Valley, the top-ranked team in Class 2A, to the end in another heartbreaking loss.

Fortunately, none of that really matters now.

With a win tonight the Longhorns will make the state playoffs.

And just imagine the possibilities.

Harriers ready to run for state Sectional race today in Holbrook by

roundup sports editor

No seniors.

Eight of the 12 on the roster had no experience in a high school race.

Yes, Payson High girls cross-country coach Jonathan Ball had plenty of questions entering this season.

And he’s gotten some answers.

“We have come a long way both as a team, as well as individual runners,” Ball said.

It’s been a season of progress for the Longhorns, who compete in the Division 3 Section 4 Championships at Holbrook’s Hidden Cove Golf Kyra Ball Course today.

The girls race follows the 1 p.m. boys race at 1:30.

The only thing the coach was sure of was that his daughter, Kyra, would lead the way. And the junior hasn’t disappointed in her third varsity campaign.

“She has taken it to a whole new level,” he said.

She’s finished in the top five in five races for the second straight season, placing second in three races — the Sept. 7 Payson Invitational, Sept. 20 Valley Christian Park Run and Oct. 22 Fountain Hills Invitational.

But her performances this year have been more impressive than her sophomore season.

Her 20:28 clocking in the regular-season finale in Fountain Hills represents the 13th fastest time among Div. 3 Section 4 runners this fall. The top 14 today make the all-section team.

“What’s different about these topfive finishes is the quality of competition that she is beating,” coach Ball said.

Ball hopes to run down all-section accolades for the first time after placing 20th in last year’s section meet.

The top 25 individuals at the sectional earn the right to compete in the State Championship, set for Saturday, Nov. 5 at Cave Creek Golf Course.

Ball isn’t the only runner that has

Keith Morris/Roundup

Payson’s girls cross-country team begins the season-opening Payson Invitational on Sept. 7. The Longhorns close the season at the section meet in Holbrook this afternoon looking to qualify for the state meet. The top half of 15 or 16 teams in the race qualify. If the Longhorns aren’t able to qualify as a team, they still have a chance to qualify individually, as the top 25 finishers advance. the coach excited about not only the rest of the season but for next year and beyond.

A pair of freshmen have shown great potential.

Holly Carl started the season with a 25:59 effort at the Chandler Invitational and has run at least two minutes faster than four times, including a personal-record of 23:18 at the Desert Twilight Invitational in Casa Grande.

“Holly has fantastic talent at running,” coach Ball said. “She also has a great desire to improve, which she has throughout the season.”

Holly’s best performance of the season may have come this past week when she took second in the open division in Fountain Hills.

Fellow ninth-grader Jordan Kile turned in a PR 24:10 at the season-opening Chandler Invitational and has impressed ever since.

“Jordan is a great athlete,” coach Ball said. “She is very strong and

has come a long way this past season when it comes to her desire of being good at distance running.

“Her best race came at Winslow where she got out strong and finished second in the open division. Jordan has a great upside, and has an enormous amount of potential.”

Sophomore Melissa La Spisa has improved in her second varsity campaign. She’s run at least a full minute faster this year on five of the six courses she also ran as a freshman.

“That is some significant progress,” coach Ball said.

Junior Gabby Ferguson “has been a pleasant surprise for us this season,” the coach said. “On two different occasions she has ran with Melissa in races. When she does this, which means our four and five runners are teamed up and coming in together, it totally changes our team for the better.”

Freshman Karissa Ball has turned in a couple of “really solid races,”

according to her father. She’s finished among the Longhorns’ top five to contribute to the team score in multiple races and recorded her team’s third-fastest time even though she was running in the open division at the Alchesay Invitational.

Junior Danielle Pentico joined the team for the final race after the girls soccer season ended on Oct. 20.

And she medaled, placing 18th in the open division at the Fountain Hills Invitational to earn a spot in the lineup for the sectional.

“I love tough athletes that want to participate and help out PHS athletics anywhere they can,” coach Ball said.

The coach said it won’t be easy for the Longhorns to qualify for the state meet for a second straight season.

“For us to have a chance to qualify all of our athletes would need to PR at the same meet,” he said. “It can happen as we seem to really be hitting our stride at the right time.”

Young boys team set to run sectional by

roundup sports editor

Senior Daely Pentico leads the Longhorn boys cross-country team into today’s Division 3 Section 4 Championships at Holbrook’s Hidden Cove Golf Course.

The boys race begins at 1 p.m.

His best time of the season is 18:48, which earned him 11th place in a field of 362 at the Twilight Invitational. He also took 24th in 18:55 to medal at the Chandler Valley Christian Invitational.

“Daely doesn’t have a ton of races in this season but is in great shape and is running really well right now,” Jonathan Ball said.

The addition of freshman Dalton Harold, who joined the team after the Payson varsity boys soccer season ended, bolsters the team. He had a great debut at last weekend’s Fountain Hills Invitational, taking second in the open division in 19:17.

“Dalton is not necessarily in cross-country shape, but he is a very

tough athlete and showed his toughness on Friday,” his coach said. “I’m excited about having Pentico and Harold run together at the sectional meet. They are really competitive with each other in practice, and having both of them together running in the same race will be good for both of them as well as the team.”

Rounding out the five competitors will be Austin Rice, Julien Sanchez, and David Pasquini-Jonassen. Rice is a first-year runner who has had

some good success running in the open division medaling in the past two races. While Sanchez, also a firsttime high school runner, has been a pleasant surprise for the boys. “He has been a very consistent runner that has really helped us this season,” Ball said.

“David is by far our most improved runner this season. From the start of the season he has shaved over four minutes from his time, which will help him stay competitive in our very, very competitive section.”

Positive signs from a challenging season by

Keith Morris

roundup sports editor

Look at the 2-8 record and it’s clear this wasn’t a great season for Payson’s girls soccer team.

But look beyond the record and you find players with hearts of champions.

Like freshman Joselyn Alonso, who was injured in a 2-1 victory over Gilbert Leading Edge Academy on Oct. 18 but kept playing.

“During the game Jocelyn injured her shoulder and has a possible break in her arm,” said head coach Leslie Fletcher Ayres. “Despite the injury she continued to play and did not let it affect her.

“That is kind of the spirit of this team. When they think they are done they find a little more in their tanks.”

That kind of courage doesn’t come by accident.

“We talked a lot about the Navy SEAL rule that when you think you’re completely done you really have 40 more percent left,” the coach said.

“These girls are a testament to this.”

Payson’s other win also came against Leading Edge by a 7-3 score at Payson on Sept. 29.

In the second victory over the Spartans, freshman Ana Hipolito and senior Becca Carr scored the goals with assists by freshman Brenna Winton and sophomore Taylor Brade.

The goal was the first of Carr’s four-year career.

“Becca has traditionally played very defensively throughout her four

years and she was over the moon,” Fletcher Ayres said.

The Longhorns closed the season with senior night at Rumsey Park on Oct. 20 where captains Carr and Sadie Sweeney and Callie O’Connell and Josey Long were honored. Payson lost 10-0 to a Flagstaff Northland Prep team that finished No. 3 in the state power rankings behind only Chino Valley and Eagar Round Valley.

“We played with the team I predict will probably be the No. 1 team in the state scoreless for almost the first 15 minutes of the game,” Fletcher Ayres said. “Three of my four seniors have struggled with injuries this year. All of my seniors started and played almost all game. We played probably some of the best soccer we’ve played all season, even if the score did not reflect that.

“That (freshman) Yammie Avalos playing at outside fullback and halfback generated two shots on goal shows how strong our young team is.”

A pair of freshmen starters — Yessica Benitez and Hannah Baca — sat out the final game after suffering injuries in the Tucson Old Pueblo Tournament on Sept. 30-Oct. 1.

“Both ended up with bone bruises on the inside of their legs,” the coach said. “Our team is very small compared to most soccer teams, but they do not let that deter them.”

Defense was a strength thanks to strong players such as sophomore Megan Ryden, who the coach said

averaged 10 steals a game and had 37 in a single contest.

With her, junior Jaycee Albert and freshman Teryn Fabian all returning, the coach is excited about what that experience means for 2017.

“We had some of the quickest backs in this league,” Fletcher Ayres said.

Albert dealt with a significant knee injury from last season but hopes to be fully recovered for her senior season.

The Longhorns finished fourth among five teams in the 2A Central Region, going 2-6. Leading Edge finished last at 0-8.

The Longhorns finished No. 9 among 11 teams in the final power rankings ahead of No. 10 Holbrook (1-12) and Leading Edge (0-10), which

With only four seniors this year, the Longhorns who’ll return next year gained plenty of valuable experience.

“Almost all of my underclassmen played almost every single game and played over 50 percent most games,”

the coach said. “That is experience that we can take forward from here.

Probably half of my players are going to try to play club soccer down in the Valley. We will also be doing offseason training and volunteer work and fundraising.”

Sports Briefs Denton Petersen wins high school steer wrestling buckle Star Valley’s Denton Petersen won the steer wrestling buckle for the Arizona High School Rodeo Association Wickenburg Rodeo held Oct. 21-22. The Payson High senior finished third in the first go in 12.76 seconds and won the second go in 5.74 seconds to take the buckle for the weekend.

He also won the second go in tie-down roping in 11.08 seconds.

Denton Peterson Petersen is 11th in the all around season point standings after two rodeos.

T.R. Frost of Tonto Basin tied for first in the second go of breakaway in 2.52. Abbie Shofner of Los Lunas, N.M. posted the same time. Frost also placed fifth in breakaway (3.22) at the

State Fair Rodeo on Oct. 20.

Payson’s Bryndee Hall finished fourth in breakaway (3.07) in the first go at Wickenburg.

NEWSPAPER CARRIERS WANTED

About half of the 63 Rim Country Middle School students who scored as “highly performing” on the AzMERIT test showed up at the board meeting to pick up their certificates — and see their names on a permanent plaque which will hang in the board room.

The Payson Roundup is seeking independent contractors to deliver newspapers on Tuesdays and Fridays in the EARLY MORNING HOURS.

RCMS honors top scoring students by

Peter Aleshire

roundup editor

The Payson School Board celebrated the 63 “highly performing” Rim Country Middle School students, based on scores on the tough AzMERIT test.

About half of the students showed up at the Monday board meeting to get certificates and pose in front of a plaque engraved with all of the students who scored as “highly proficient” on the nationally-normed achievement test.

“Today we celebrate hard work, self-discipline and the outcomes that are produced from this kind of dedication,” said Director of Student Achievement Brenda Case. “But it is rarely a solitary process. It requires a great deal of outside support from parents, family members and teachers who have guided them along the way.”

The delighted parents and little brothers and sisters filled the boardroom to overflowing, many sitting on the floor.

Proud parents crowded forward to take pictures of the beaming bunch of scholars — many of whom rated as “highly proficient” on both math and language arts tests.

Statewide at most grade levels, only a relative handful of students ranked as “highly proficient.” A much larger number fell far below the standards, based on national tests originally dubbed “Common Core,” but in Arizona tweaked to become the AzMERIT test.

Payson students generally did a little bit better than the state average in the primary school grades, fell to near or a bit below the state average in middle school, then generally fell to below the state average in high school.

But the top performing students on Monday from the middle school grinned, got red-faced, posed for parents and basked in their moment of fame, having one and all blasted past the grade-by-grade standards.

Because Arizona has now adopted the national standards, the parents and students know they can match what they know against the top students anywhere in the country.

“Today we’re celebrating amazing kids — and amazing teachers that guide amazing kids. And amazing parents who guide amazing teachers who guide amazing kids,” gushed Case.

Would it be safe to assume that most of you remember 45 rpm records? For any others, they were music storage discs made of vinyl to be played on a device called a record player. It was popular back in a time when there was music worthy of replaying.

This week one such 45 came into my possession. It came from Cookie and Deanna. For those who don’t know, Deanna is the new admin assistant at the fire department. Back in the day, their parents, Blanche and Heber White, owned the old Landmark and had an antique device called a jukebox that played 45s.

The girls had a collection of old 45s from that old jukebox. Searching through the box of old records they found three copies of a song recorded back in 1970.

During the day of the memorial dedication, Cookie had mentioned remembering a song about the Labor Day flood. None of the folks involved in our group had any knowledge that there was such a song. Having dismissed any thoughts about ever getting a copy of the song, you can imagine my surprise when one arrived here in the Creek.

The artist’s name is Jimmy Chappell and the title is “Norma’s Tropic Fury.” At this juncture we are looking for one of those antique record players just to be able to listen to the song.

Soon we plan to get the recording transcribed to a modern electronic medium and post the song to social media.

It makes one wonder if in that box of old 45s there might have been a copy of Bobby Vee’s “Take Good Care of My Baby” ... and that’s anothRod Britain photo er week in the Creek.

Shelby School students collecting money for UNICEF Wow, what an exciting weekend Bill and I had. Our the children decided we needed village to be at our granddaughter’s wedding in Coronado, Calif. so it was arranged that we would stay at our daughter Vicki’s house, spend the night and then the next day, drive the rest of the way to Coronado. We had never gone over that bridge before Janet and it was a bit scary, but Snyder seeing those big ships was quite a sight.

Our hotel room was a quaint 12 occupant hotel, very homey and comfortable and not too far away from our granddaughter’s wedding sight which was right on the beach. If anyone is familiar with the area, it was called “Dog Beach.” The wedding sight was very close to the water, and we had to struggle through about 100 yards of soft sand to get to the arch which had been set up by our new grandson’s parents. Kathy and Scott made up their own vows and against the setting sun, the sight was a memorable one.

The reception was at an upscale Italian restaurant not too far away

from the beach. Again, the scenery was unforgettable, the restaurant was located on the bay, and the tall buildings were all lit up across the water and the sailboats were passing by as we were treated to canapes before the main meal.

Bill and I were introduced to Scott’s parents and aunts and uncles as we were seated with many of the bridegroom’s relatives.

The whole experience is an unforgettable one that Bill and I will remember for a long time.

Shelby School This year, Shelby School students have been learning about global citizenship and the value of helping others. It follows naturally that the kids have become very excited about contributing to UNICEF (United Children’s Fund) this Halloween. Each classroom has a fundraising goal, and has been participating in an ongoing bake sale for UNICEF at lunchtime.

For instance, $5 can provide children with 13 doses of measles vaccine, $15 can provide a child with clean, safe water for one year, and $50 can provide 35 malnourished children nutrition for one day!

So, when Shelby students come trick-or-treating at your door this Monday night, they’ll be collecting donations in UNICEF boxes. Please consider giving some change, dollars or even a check made out to UNICEF. On behalf of our Shelby students,

It’s not too late to put a costume together for the Halloween party at the Double D on Saturday, Oct. 29.

The fun will be if you can guess who is under the mask. If putting on a costume is not your thing, that’s OK, come and enjoy the music by Carl Anthony. He will be playing from 7:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. The kids will be doing their thing on Monday, gathering up all that candy, so why not enjoy your Halloween too. Ethel will also be supplying a few munchies to enjoy as you listen to the music.

Anniversaries I don’t have any more birthdays listed for October, so I will mention the first week in November anniversaries. Friday, Nov. 4, Tonto Village I residents Curt and Kathy Arrants will celebrate their 44th wedding anniversary. On Saturday, Nov. 5, Ron and Lonie Smith of Ellison Creek Summer Homes will celebrate their 56th wedding anniversary. It’s a pleasure and a privilege to wish good friends all the

joy your hearts can hold. Happy anniversary to the Arrants and Smiths.

for more information.

With all the complaining, blaming and negativity we are hearing from one of the presidential candidates and some of his supporters, it was refreshing to read Payson School District Superintendent’s Greg Wyman’s guest comment that appeared in the Oct. 21 Payson Roundup.

Titled “Congratulations on a job well done,” Wyman praised the students who put on last Friday’s weeklong homecoming ceremonies writing, “Your efforts help to remind our communities of what it means to be a part of a small town.”

He went on to laud their leadership, spirit and enthusiasm in hosting the myriad of events designed in part to welcome home PHS alumni.

Wyman wrote that he was not amazed by what the students and sponsors had accomplished because, “As an educator I get to see you doing amazing things every day.”

He also wrote the students “Remind us of what is right in the world. You provide hope for what is possible.”

Wow — energizing.

Rendering the homecoming extra special was the Longhorn football team’s dominating 31-7 win Friday over those rascals from Lakeside — the Blue Ridge Yellow Jackets.

What most don’t know about homecoming games is they are doubly tough to win unless the athletic director has the gridiron moxie to schedule a patsy.

The difficulty in chalking up a “W” on homecoming night is keeping teenage players, during the practice week, focused on the job at hand, winning a football game. In the days leading up to the game their young minds are distracted by parades, dances, pep rallies, bonfires, class competition, float building, royalty contests and more.

Nice job players, students, teachers and coaches.

The Pine Strawberry Fuel Reduction meeting that was originally scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 26, was postponed so as not to conflict with the fire department’s meeting on the proposed tax override meeting on that same date.

No word yet on when the PSFR will be rescheduled.

Madness at the library

Turkeys needed With Thanksgiving just over the horizon, the Pine Strawberry Food Bank is appealing for 150 turkeys and other food stuffs that will be distributed to needy families in our area.

Contributors may begin dropping off turkeys at the Ponderosa Market in Pine on Tuesday, Nov. 1.

“If someone has more than one turkey and they are unable to drop them off at the market they can call Marti Heinert at 480-296-4337 and she will arrange to have them picked up,” says food bank volunteer Pat Impiccini.

Food bank distributions are on the first Tuesday of each month. With the holidays approaching, additional distributions will be on Nov. 22 and Dec. 22.

Help with Trunk or Treat The Pine-Strawberry Fire Department is in need of donations and “trunks” for its Third Annual Open House and Trunk or Treat to be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday, Oct. 31 at the Pine Fire station.

Decorations will begin at 4 p.m. and setting up of the trunks at 5 p.m.

Volunteers, trunks decorated to hand out goodies, candy, decorations, money, food and baked goods are needed.

Organizers say there will be music and “a little bit of learning” presumably fire safety.

Call Stacy at 476-4272 or 978-3964

Movie Madness at the Isabelle Hunt Memorial Library continues at 1 p.m.

Wednesday, Nov. 9 with the showing of “Nine Lives” a movie rated PG and 87 minutes in length.

Children should bring a pillow so as to be comfortable on the floor and refreshments will be served.

Medicare help today Pinal-Gila County Council for Senior Citizens representatives will be at the Isabelle Hunt Memorial Library from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. today, Friday, Oct. 28 to help seniors review their health and prescription insurances including changes is cost, coverage and benefits.

Vote now Time is growing short to mail in early voting ballots for the Nov. 8 general election. Those who do not participate in voting by mail can cast their ballots in person at the First Baptist Church in Pine.

There are several crucial issues voters must decide on including approving an override to increase the Pine-Strawberry Fire District’s tax levy limit from $3.25 to $3.50 assessed property value, the legalization of marijuana and raising the minimum wage.

Also, two seats on the Pine Strawberry Elementary School board are up for grabs. The seats were vacated last spring by the resignations of former members Dave Prechtel and Bob Horne.

The vacated seats have drawn three candidates — Larry Hartman, Rosina French and Michael Ward.

Thought for the week “With ordinary talent and extraordinary perseverance, all things are attainable.”

‘Jack Reacher: Never Go Back’ a solid action film Purists are still carping about using Tom Cruise in the title role of the Jack Reacher films because of the disparity in size between the fictional operative and the actor. In author Lee Child’s 18 Jack Reacher books the tough guy stands six-foot-five and weighs in close to 250 pounds. Famously, Tom Cruise stands only fivefoot-seven. He is however very fit and can act his way around the disparity. Cruise is fast enough, violent enough and ruthless enough to pull it off.

He is an authentic action hero. He tells the bad guy that he will “break your arms, break your legs and then break your neck” in a way that seems simply predictive rather than bombastic.

Not every actor can recite a line like that without the crowd snickering.

Orleans. Watch for novelist Lee Childs in a cameo. Lee Childs wanted to make it clear to his readers that he thinks Tom Cruise makes a fine Jack Reacher.

“Jack Reacher: Never Go Back” lasts for one hour and 58 minutes. It carries a mild PG-13 rating, but that does not mean that younger children should see this blood bath. The producers allowed a frugal — by Hollywood standards — $68 million to make the movie. They should have no problem making a profit. This solid threeand-a-half saw blade action flick has a couple of very interesting side stories going on besides the very dangerous main line story. And best of all, Reacher smites the evildoers until they stay smote.

CROSSWORD ANSWER

SUDOKU ANSWER

SALOME’S STARS ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The pitter-patter of all those Sheep feet means that you’re out and about, rushing to get more done.

That’s fine, but slow down by the weekend so you can heed some important advice.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You’re in charge of your own destiny these days, and, no doubt, you’ll have that Bull’s-eye of yours right on target. But don’t forget to make time for family events.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Be prepared for a power struggle that you don’t want. Look to the helpful folks around you for advice on how to avoid it without losing the important gains you’ve made.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Congratulations! You’re about to claim your hard-earned reward for your patience and persistence. Now, go out and enjoy some fun and games with friends and family.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) The Big Cat might find it difficult to shake off that listless feeling. But be patient. By week’s end, your spirits will perk up and you’ll be your perfectly purring self again.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A problem with a co-worker could prove to be a blessing in disguise when a superior steps in to investigate and discovers a situation that could prove helpful to you.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) This is a favorable time to move ahead with your plans. Some setbacks are expected, but they’re

only temporary. Pick up the pace again and stay with it.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your creativity is recognized and rewarded. So go ahead and claim what you’ve earned.

Meanwhile, that irksome and mysterious situation soon will be resolved.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A new associate brings ideas that the wise Sagittarian quickly will realize can benefit both of you. Meanwhile, someone from the workplace makes an emotional request.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) It might be a good idea to ease up on that hectic pace and spend more time studying things you’ll need to know when more opportunities come later in November.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A relatively quiet time is now giving way to a period of high activity. Face it with the anticipation that it will bring you some well-deserved boons and benefits.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Go with the flow, or make waves? It’s up to you. Either way, you’ll get noticed. However, make up your own mind. Don’t let anyone tell you what choices to make.

Final burst of

FALL along the Highline

Story and Photos

by Randy Cockrell hiking columnist

On an absolutely cracking fall day in mid-October, 18 of us set out from Payson to enjoy one of our favorite hikes — the eastern end of the Highline Trail as it meanders from the Two Sixty Trailhead to the See Canyon Trailhead at Christopher Creek. Doing this hike every year in the autumn provides a feast for the eyes as we walk through virtual tunnels of colorful, dying leaves. This day’s beautiful, sunny weather is especially welcome considering that it hailed and rained on us during last year’s hike.

After leaving a shuttle car at the See Canyon Trailhead, we members of the Payson Packers C Group gather at the Two Sixty Trailhead, located just a few miles east of the Christopher Creek Loop on State Highway 260. It’s one of the better trailheads around: It’s sign-posted on the highway, suitable for your regular family sedan, has a toilet, and room for about 25 cars. Beginning our march at the big informational sign, we head westerly into a typical mixed forest of juniper, oak, pine, manzanita and prickly pear. Here, early in the hike, we see no sign of the colorful maples we seek, but we know the wonders that await down the trail.

This excellent trail — popular with mountain bikers — is very distinct, well-tended, and largely free of annoying rocks. At first, you’re aware of traffic noise as you parallel the highway, but this goes away after a mile or so of negotiating the hilly single-track. Scenic overlooks are few and far between, but you don’t really mind as the handsome trail cuts back

Highline Trail (260 Trailhead to See Canyon) • The Highline National Recreation Trail runs for 50 miles between the Pine trailhead and the Two Sixty trailhead.

• See Canyon trailhead: From Payson, drive Hwy. 260 east, past mile marker 272, and turn left onto the Christopher Creek Loop. Drive about a mile until you reach FR 284 on the left, direct ly across from the Tall Pines Market. Take the dirt road FR 284 for 1.6 miles to the trailhead.

Passenger cars OK. Elevation 6,150 feet.

• Two Sixty trailhead: From Payson, drive Hwy. 260 east, past mile marker 278, and turn left where the sign indicates. Elevation 6,660 feet.

• End to end distance: 7.6 miles.

• Difficulty: Easy • Highlights: Massive trees, autumn colors, access to the Drew Trail.

WE’RE HERE TO HELP Fire & Smoke Damage Mitigation, Removal and Restoration

FIRE & SMOK E WATE R DAM AG E SMOKE RESTORATION RESTORATION

STO RM CLEAN UP

Fire Damage is the most stressful type of property damage that property owners have to live through. The loss of property and valuables leaves many property owners confused and frustrated.

Fire damage is more difficult, but not impossible to restore. Dry Force will work quickly to secure your property following a fire and begin the restoration process. In cases where the fire department put out the fire, Dry Force will begin with water extraction before beginning the restoration process.

Smoke Damage occurs because smoke will travel and go through any opening. This allows it to move between rooms and settle into porous materials where it can remain. Our specialists will set up specialty equipment to dissolve the settle smoke particles and remove the odor.

Water & Storm Damage Mitigation, Removal and Restoration

Water and storm incursions must be quickly mitigated to prevent further damage. Carpets, walls, and furnishings are most immediately susceptible to water damage. The longer water stays in place the more destructive it can be. Protect your property and the health of your loved ones by quickly contacting Dry Force in the event of water or storm damage. Our specialists will work quickly to extract any remaining water and place drying equipment to dry out the affected areas to stop damage and prevent mold growth.

Highline Trail fall hike From page 1 and forth around ravines and gullies, most featuring large stone shelves undercut by water rushing down off the Mogollon Rim. Another treat is the presence of BIG trees — quite a lot of the biggest old junipers you’ve ever seen, a few huge pines, and many outsized manzanita.

After a couple miles, we spot the occasional splash of fall color, but just one or two trees here and there. At about 4.5 miles into our trek, we arrive at a fence, the highest elevation of the hike at 6,800 feet, and the intersection of the Drew Trail, where we take a break. (The Drew Trail runs for only a mile, but it goes north right up the escarpment of the Rim, switchbacking to the top to meet Forest Road 9350, and gaining a lot of elevation during its brief span.)

A few hundred yards past our snack break, we encounter one of our favorite photo opportunities: The sideways juniper. Easily accessed just a few feet off the right side of the trail, the fat trunk of this curious old tree runs horizontal-

ly for several feet across a shelf of rock, providing the perfect place to pose for photos.

Soon, we head downhill and start to see more maples flaunting fancy foliage — the stuff we seek. We spend a good bit of time in this delightful half-milelong area, which, to many of us, calls to mind the massive displays of fall color in the northeast U.S. We shoot a ton of photographs, posing and playing amid the fallen leaves and watching the sunlight filter down through the trees.

After the “photo zone” the landscape returns to what we’d encountered earlier — an excellent trail through mixed forest, although now, at a point in the journey when it’s very much appreciated, the trail trends mostly downhill.

Finally, after about 7.5 miles, we arrive at Christopher Creek, balancing carefully as we cross the crude log footbridge, then head left and up the wide path to the parking lot. Now it’s just a matter of shuttling the drivers back up to their cars at the Two Sixty trailhead.

We’ll be doing this trail again next year, without a doubt, come rain, hail or shine.
