Longtime Globe-Miami Radio Personality Gene Pearsall Dies
KIKO is sad to learn that longtime local radio personality and station operator Gene Pearsall has passed away.
Gene was the owner and operator of KJAA for many years and more recently a host on KRDE. Gene also worked for KIKO.
Gene left this area for awhile and I had the opportunity to work with him at KCKY in Coolidge when it was a popular country station. This was around 1979-80. Gene was the morning DJ and I was the midday host. I remember him as being fun to work with and very professional. He got on my case a couple of times for coming in at the last minute. That's OK, I deserved it.
I almost went to work for Gene at KJ in 1995 but I ended up at KRXS briefly and then KIKO.
Funeral arrangements for Gene Pearsall are pending.

GCC Board Member Resigns from Legislative Task Force
A Gila Community College Governing Board member has resigned from the legislative task force that was formed to look for ways to make the college independent. Tom Loeffler told the Payson Roundup that “pettiness and politics” prompted him to resign.
The college Governing Board recently decided not to approve a resolution supporting the task force’s goal of seeking independence from Eastern Arizona College. All three of the board members from southern Gila County said they didn’t have enough information about proposed legislation to change the financial thresholds keeping Gila County from operating an independent college. Loeffler and the other board member from northern Gila County voted in favor of the resolution.
State Senator Sylvia Allen says she will appoint a new task force member from the Payson area. She says she is still committed to pursuing Gila Community College independence.

Globe-Miami Times: Local EDC Board
Hears from Citizens Opposed
From Globe-Miami Times News 'n' Views by Linda Gross:
Jim Moss, who heads up Globe Citizens Opposed to a Private Prison, gave a ten minute presentation on Thursday to the Southern Gila County Economic Development Board who were instrumental in bringing the project to Globe. Although the State has temporarily pulled the RFP (Request for Proposal) on building more prisons by partnering with the private prison industry, the move is simply to allow them to re-write the RFP to include greater security standards. It is expected the project will be back on the table – soon.
Jim Moss, with Citizens Opposed to a Private Prison, addressed the EDC at this month's Board meeting.
The talk was meant to be informational and provide the EDC Board with a greater understanding of the the group's efforts which have included a 3 month petition drive which has gathered over 2000 signatures and a more targeted post card mailing which reaches registered voters and allows them to write a brief comment on why they oppose this issue.
