Mutton Bustin’ is one of the Gary Hardt Memorial Spring Rodeo’s most laugh-out-loud events. The littlest rodeo athletes muster their courage and do their best to stay aboard an uncooperative wooly ride. The contest is part of the performance Thursday, May 14 at the Payson Event Center.

Welcome to rodeo time in Rim Country by

rim review editor

Rim Country welcomes the annual Gary Hardt Memorial Spring Rodeo back to Payson Thursday, Friday and Saturday, May 14, 15 and 16 at the Payson Event Center on Highway 87 across from the Mazatzal Casino. Festivities start Thursday, May 14 with mutton bustin’ and youth steer riding, plus a Women’s Professional Rodeo Association contest. For this event, bring a can or box of non-perishable food for area food banks. Friday night is the “Tough Enough to Wear Pink” performance, where cowboys and fans alike wear pink to help local breast cancer support groups. For all wearing pink, $1 per fan and $3 per contestant is donated to the local groups.

Saturday night is the “Patriotic” performance and is dedicated to veterans and active duty military personnel. More than 200 professional rodeo contestants are expected to compete in this year’s event. Most will be traveling to Rim Country from around Arizona and New Mexico, but there are also contestants coming from Texas, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, California and Wyoming. Look for lots of barrel racing action — there were more than 50 women registered last week to compete. Rodeo Boss Bill Armstrong also promises lots of great rough stock action, predicting the bareback, bull and saddle bronc riding will all have full bills in both shows. Judging their talents and times are Gordon Kesler and Mark McKinley, who oversaw the competition last year. Salt River Rodeo, with some of the

top bulls and bucking stock in the West, is the stock contractor. Bull fighters are Luke Kraut and Clifford Maxwell. Donnie Landis will provide clown duties and offer the specialty act. Reed Flake will guide the audience through the action as the event announcer. This year the Spring Rodeo will also host the coronation of the Payson Pro Rodeo Junior Teen Queen Paige Creasy and host both Brigitte Kennison, 2015 Miss Teen Rodeo Arizona and Sammi Miles, Miss Rodeo Arizona 2015. Once again the beautiful and talented members of the Cowgirls Historical Foundation will take part in the festivities. They will help with the crowning of Payson’s young queen and thrill the crowd with Tough Enough to Wear Pink and Patriotic drills. Performances start at 7 p.m. each evening and the gates open at 5 p.m. for

some pre-rodeo entertainment. Advance tickets for adults, 12 to 64, are $14; seniors, $12, and children 8 to 12, $10; those 7 and under are free. All active military are also admitted at no charge. Advance tickets may be reserved online at www.paysonprorodeo.com or purchased at the Rim Country Regional Chamber of Commerce, Bob’s Western Wear and the Circle K stores in Payson, as well as Bill Armstrong’s Jewelry and Pawn in Star Valley. Tickets will also be available at the gate. National and major sponsors of the Gary Hardt Memorial Spring Rodeo are Coors, Wrangler, Justin Boots, Resistol Hats, Swire Coca-Cola and Ram Trucks.

Calf roping is a team effort — if not an actual team sport — because the cowboy and his horse work as a team to run down and lasso a calf, then the horse must hold a taunt line on the calf when the cowboy dismounts to grab the frisky youngster, lay it on its side, and tie up any three of its legs.

Cowboys converge on Rim Country by

rim review editor

A field of nearly 200 competitors was already signed up for the 2015 Gary Hardt Memorial Rodeo a week in advance. That number will likely grow before the opening show at 7 p.m., Friday, May 15. Payson’s Spring Rodeo festivities start at 7 p.m., Thursday, May 14 when the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association competitors are in the Payson Event Center arena. The entertaining mutton bustin’ for pint-size cowboys and cowgirls and the youth steer riding events are also Thursday night. Gates open at 5 p.m. each night of the event, but Thursday admission is a can of food for Rim Country food banks. Women won’t confine their competi-

tion to Thursday night. A staggering 52 contestants were registered for barrel racing last week. This year’s Spring Rodeo is a big draw, according to Rodeo Boss Bill Armstrong. “We have a lot of rough stock competitors,” he said. Both bull riding and saddle bronc riding had about two dozen cowboys already registered. Bareback riding had 15 registered last week. Calf roping had 24 registered early, with 19 signed up for steer wrestling. Team roping had 38 early registrants. Almost all of the competitors travel to Payson for the rodeo. Only a single local was on the early list — team roper TJ Brown. While the majority of the rodeo athletes Payson is hosting are from all around Arizona, they are also coming from New Mexico, Colorado, Utah,

Nevada, California and Texas. Probably traveling the greatest distance are a few contestants who call Wyoming home. Among the early registrants are four cowboys competing in two different events: Michael Bates Jr., of Tohatchi, N.M., will calf rope and steer wrestle; Tyke Kipp, of Lordsburg, N.M., is signed up for saddle bronc riding and steer wrestling; Trenten Montero, of Winnemucca, Nev., will compete in the bareback and bull riding events; and Cutter Parsons, of Marana, Ariz., is calf roping and steer wrestling. Judging the competitors will be Gordon Kesler and Mark McKinley. McKinley knows the Payson Rodeo — he holds bareback championship honors in the event. He was a PRCA bareback rider for 25 years and a six-time Turquoise Circuit

bareback champion. Kesler brings both championships and judging experience from the famous Calgary Stampede to the 2015 Gary Hardt Memorial Spring Rodeo. During his competitive years, the wild horse race was found at most rodeos in Canada. Along with Reg Kesler and Greg Kesler, he won the Calgary Stampede three consecutive years and also won the Canadian title four consecutive years. Kesler’s career as a rodeo judge began when judges were picked from a pool of injured cowboys. Now judges are picked from a program headed up by longtime world-class bareback rider Clint Corey. Judges are required to attend rigorous three-day seminars every other year in order to be up to speed on rules and procedures.

Junior Teen Queen: Paige Creasy

After a respite of 13 years, Payson will once again boast its own Rodeo Royalty. The Payson Pro Rodeo Committee is crowning Paige Creasy, 12, its Payson Pro Rodeo Junior Teen Queen on Friday, May 15. Paige is the daughter of Stephanie and Tony Creasy. Born and raised in Payson, Ariz., she is in the sixth grade at Rim Country Middle School where she is in the National Junior Honor Society, and has achieved a 4.0 since starting school. She is an active member of the Payson Pro Rodeo Committee. As Payson Rodeo’s Junior Teen Queen, her service theme is “8 Seconds to NO.” With this platform, Paige’s goal is to make a positive difference by reminding young people that it only takes 8 seconds to say no to drugs and how important it is to stop and think before acting to become involved with harmful substances. She held the title of “Navajo Country Rodeo Princess” from 2012-2013, her first royalty title. In 2014-15 she was the Globe, Ariz. Copper Dust Rodeo Stampede Missy. Paige has visited many rodeos around the state, but her favorite is in her hometown, where she has had the honor of carrying the American flag to start the Gary Hardt Memorial Rodeo. She loves her horse Shadow and her new horse, Baby, and spends all of her free time with them. Together, they belong to 4-H and enjoy competing in horse shows as well as participating in gymkhanas. When they are not competing in organized events, they love trail riding and exploring the beautiful Arizona scenery. Paige not only loves the sport of rodeo, but is also fond of basketball, hunting, fishing, camping, spending time with her family and friends, and four-wheeling, where she seldom lets anyone else drive. Her dreams are one day to hold the title of Miss Rodeo Arizona and then compete for the title of Miss Rodeo America in Las Vegas. Her career goal is to become a large animal vetContributed photo Paige Creasy, 12, has been selected to serve as the Payson Pro Rodeo Junior Teen Queen for 2015. erinarian.

State’s reigning Rodeo Royalty in Payson

Arizona’s reigning Rodeo Royalty, Miss Rodeo Arizona 2015 Sammi Miles and Miss Teen Rodeo Arizona 2015 Brigitte Kennison, are scheduled to participate in the 2015 Gary Hardt Memorial Spring Rodeo festivities, including the crowning of Payson’s first Rodeo Queen in 13 years, Paige Creasy. Creasy will be crowned Payson Pro Rodeo Junior Teen Queen 2015 at the Friday, May 15 performance at the Payson Event Center. Sammi Miles – Miss Rodeo Arizona 2015 Sammi Miles is an outgoing 20-yearold who resides in beautiful Mesa, Ariz. with her paint horse Oreo and mini Aussie Raine. Sammi grew up in the small town of Mohave Valley, Ariz. and at the age of 7 she began taking riding lessons, over the years becoming proficient in English and western riding. At the age of 14 Sammi was appointed her first rodeo princess title and found her passion in the world of rodeo queen pageants. Throughout high school she held several titles and was crowned Miss Teen Rodeo Arizona in May of 2012. That same year, she obtained her associate degree from Mohave Community College one week before graduating from high school. In December of 2014 Sammi graduated from Arizona State University with her bachelor’s of science degree in com-

munication and has plans on obtaining her master’s degree after her year of representing the professional sport of rodeo. Currently Sammi and her equine partner Oreo enjoy representing western heritage with the Cowgirls Historical Foundation drill team, preserving the past to protect the future. As the first lady of rodeo for Mohave County and Miss Rodeo Arizona, Sammi’s main goal is to be a positive role model to all by encouraging others

to gallop down the path with “Miles of Smiles.” Brigitte Kennison – Miss Teen Rodeo Arizona 2015 Brigitte Kennison, Miss Teen Rodeo Arizona 2015, is the daughter of Brian and Sylvia Kennison. Born in Arizona, raised in the White Mountains, Brigitte learned to enjoy her life in the outdoors with her animals. Being a native of the state, Brigitte feels it is a great honor to represent the title of Miss Teen Rodeo Arizona.

She has been riding horses since she was 18 months old, and learned many different techniques of riding: everything from western pleasure to hunter jumping, and to her newfound love — barrel racing. Since she was little, Brigitte has spent her summers traveling the country, going from horse show to horse show, winning many titles. But it wasn’t until she was 14, did she find a love for the sport of rodeo and began her career as a rodeo queen with her first title as the Show Low Deuces Wild Teen Queen. Through her rodeo pageant journey Brigitte has learned many things that have made her fall more in love with rodeo. From watching the saddle bronc riding to the tie down roping, and her favorite event, barrel racing, Brigitte has found something to love about every aspect of the sport. Her future endeavors include finishing her associate degree in applied science at Northland Pioneer College and beginning work as a certified medical assistant. She later plans on attending the University of Arizona in entering its new veterinary program. Brigitte loves representing Arizona, and is looking forward to meeting everyone along her journey as Miss Teen Rodeo Arizona. Payson will host the pageant selecting the Miss Rodeo Arizona 2016 at the August Rodeo.

Recollections of a former Rodeo Queen

Teresa McQuerrey

rim review editor

Looking back, Tommie Cline Martin considers her tenure as Payson Rodeo Royalty as the end of a simpler time. “We were awfully backwoodsy,” she said of the late 1960s. Martin was an attendant to 1967 Payson Rodeo Queen Melody Lookingbill Neel and won the crown herself in 1968. “The crown was a cardboard cutout, covered in glitter,” she said, laughing at the memory. U.S. Congressman Sam Steiger crowned her at ceremonies held at Bert Sprague’s ranch in Star Valley. Martin said she had no interest in rodeo horsemanship. “That was play. We didn’t play on a horse, we worked on our horses, from about the time we were 5 (her parents, Pat and Raymond Cline ranched in Star Valley). “They were just solid old horses that knew what to do with cattle and how to find their way home if we got lost.” She said her cousin, Joe Haught, talked her into competing in the Payson Rodeo Royalty contest. Rodeo horsemanship, including barrel racing, was as foreign to her as anything she could imagine. So, she had to learn the rodeo run and barrel racing and other skills on which the horsemanship competition was based. “It isn’t something you do working cattle,” she said. While no one actually taught her, she did get advice: pay attention to your horse and use common sense. Martin said she always preferred working on a horse. It was a companion and she could communicate with it without words.

All of the Payson contestants in those days used regular ranch horses. Just as the horses were serviceable, so were their contest and parade clothes. “I made all the clothes I wore for the fashion show. It was held around the pool at the Ox Bow. There were only a few western wear stores. Stockman’s in Payson didn’t carry anything fancy and neither did any place in the Valley, except the owner of one Scottsdale store sold us some things at cost. “I sent off for the patterns for the flared-legged pants and shirts with the deep yolks. If you wanted sparkly, you made it with lamé (fabric).” Still, Martin said her experience as Rodeo Royalty was fun and interesting and educational. “I was very young, so didn’t get into some of the more wild and wooly,” she said. Martin and her fellow Rodeo Court members were

well chaperoned too. Bill and Louise Thomas, who had one of the first homes in Swiss Village on the east side of Beeline, volunteered to chaperon the court. “He was blind and they didn’t have anything to do, so they volunteered and drove us all over the place,” Martin said. In those days, at least for the Payson Rodeo Court, the parade ride was in a convertible, not on a horse. “The times weren’t suited to haul horses. It was too expensive,” she said. Besides not many of the girls had special parade horses. The court didn’t go out of state either, but attended rodeo parades in Scottsdale, Tucson, Phoenix and Globe. Martin said their job was to promote Payson to tourists. There was always a lot of interest in the competition too. She recalls there were easily six, and often more, young women in the contests. And they were all pretty young too — most still in high school and more often than not, related. Payson was still isolated in those days. So, there were usually out-of-town judges to keep the contest “fair.” In the days when Martin was Payson Rodeo Royalty, many of the competitors were also local as ranching was still a big part of the Rim Country’s economy back then, along with logging and the sawmill. “It all changed dramatically in the next few years,” she said. Just as rodeo queen contests have evolved into pageants, the rodeos have become less about real ranch skills and more entertainment.

Tommie Cline Martin might have viewed the sport of barrel racing (top left) as “play” back in her Rodeo Royalty days, but there is no mistaking the skills and effort it takes to train the horses these gifted women use in the high stakes, breathtaking and beautiful competition today. Look for lots of heart-stopping action as competitors take on horses, steers and bulls during this weekend’s 2015 Gary Hardt Memorial Spring Rodeo.

Roundup file photos

Team roping is the only team event in rodeo. Like other rodeo events, team roping grew out of the ranch chores of the past. Larger cattle would have to be constrained for branding and doctoring by two ropers due to their strength and size. Today, two cowboys (known as the header and the heeler) work together to rope the horns and the back feet of a steer. The team that finishes the fastest wins. If they only catch one back leg, they receive a 5-second penalty on their time and if they break the barrier strip — the head start line for the steer — they are penalized 10 seconds.

They aren’t cowboys competing for points, but without them there would be no competitor. They’re the stock contractor, announcer and a special added attraction. The Salt River Rodeo Company is once again serving as stock contractor for the Gary Hardt Memorial Spring Rodeo. The company is noted for having some of the best bulls in the field. The Gary Hardt Memorial Spring Rodeo will also again enjoy the talents of announcer Reed Flake. Flake grew up working cattle and horses for his family ranch. Later, he went to Ricks College where he received a degree in ranch management. Flake has been announcing rodeos for more than 20 years. He has announced such events as the National High School Finals, the National Jr. High Finals, the Turquoise Circuit Finals, the USTRC Finals and the George Strait Team Roping. Flake and his wife, Amy, reside in Snowflake, Ariz., where they have lived for most of their marriage. The members of the Cowgirls Historical Foundation return to the Payson Event Center arena to share their tremendous skills as a mounted drill team in both the Friday and Saturday night performances. The CHF, a nonprofit organization, works to increase public awareness, appreciation, and preservation of America’s western heritage and equestrian lifestyle. Members present creative educational programs and services, are active in community service and volunteerism, and participate in local, state and national events. With their mission statement to honor western heritage and spirit of patriotism, they develop equestrian performance drills with a message.

A cowboy and his hat

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

There’s a hierarchy of cowboy hats from felt to wool to furs from buffalo to beaver. One thing is for sure though, a real aficionado knows a genuine hat from a cheap knockoff. “You can tell how a man wears his hat, it’s beaver,” said John Dryer, longtime Tonto Basin local and a former cowboy who’s a genuine devotee of the cowboy hat. Another reason Dryer believes beaver fur hats have such value, “They keep their shape,” he said. He should know. He’s worn beaver fur hats since the 1950s when he worked his father’s cattle feed lot in Glendale, Ariz. “I bought my first hat with eighth-grade graduation money,” he said. Up until that time, he wore his father’s or uncle’s hand-me-down sized 7-1/4 hats. Other furs make for popular cowboy hats, including mink, chinchilla, buffalo and other animal furs. Dryer said a cowboy’s hat has numerous jobs: keeping the sun off the face, holding water for a mount, fanning a flame, and dissuading flies from crawling on the face while taking a nap. Surprisingly, the cowboy hat did not win the West. That fame actually goes to the bowler hat. Yep. Until 1865, those who moved to the West wore whatever kind of hat they had available, including top hats, derbies, sailor hats, old Civil War hats or whatever worked to protect the head. (History from www.indianvillagemall.com) Then in the early 1860s, the western hat was born when John Stetson was invited on a trip into the mountains of

John Dryer of Tonto Basin knows the importance of a good hat and having one for work and one for special occasions.

Colorado. He designed a wide brimmed hat for his trip. Everyone on the trip fell in love with his hat and wanted him to make one for them. Stetson figured if people were that excited about his hat, he could make good money, so he invested $110 in a location, tools and fur and got to work. He called his wide-brimmed hat the “Boss of the Plains.” Stetson is now a world-renowned U.S. western hat company. As time went on, Stetson modified the crown/block (the part of the hat that sits on the

head) to have five different creases: the Montana, the cattleman, the pinch front, the telescope and the Tom Mix (or 10-gallon). Then brims became altered from lying flat all around to turning up over the sides of the head. Cowboys turned up the brim to allow for more room to circle a lasso over the head. In Dryer’s case, his beaver hat has another purpose — keeping his head warm. Every winter Dryer switches from his cooler straw hats to his beaver hat — a Resistol silver-belly 10x. What’s the 10x stand for?

Stetson again had a part to play. He invented the X rating on hats. The more Xs, the more animal fur is mixed with the felt. As the Xs increase, so does the price. One hat is 1,000x! Imagine the price on that. Dryer prefers the cool beige silver-belly color. His everyday hat has clearly seen many rainstorms and dusty days, but after 20 years it still has its shape. “A felt or wool hat will droop and lose its shape after getting wet,” said Dryer, “but not a beaver hat.” Besides his 20-year-old

Resistol, Dryer also has a Resistol silver-belly 10x that he bought in the last two years. “I use that one for weddings and funerals,” he said carefully pulling it out of its hat box and unwrapping the plastic that surrounded the hat. Most lovers of true western hats often have an everyday hat and a special occasion hat. Some even own 20 hats! Dryer said a good western hat store would have a wall of hat styles from a Hoss Cartwright cowboy hat to a gambler’s derby to choose from. “First you figure out your style,” he said. “Then you order the custom stuff.” The customer can customize a hat from the crown/block to the brim. Dryer likes a crown/block that is of modest height with a cattlemen’s block (a distinct dip in the middle) and a brim that curls up at the sides. “I have the brim trimmed down a quarter of an inch,” said Dryer. He also likes a 10x hat that uses only the silver fur from the belly of the beaver, which ends up costing about $350. And how does Dryer keep his hat for 20 years? With regular cleanings. “I only send my hats to the Man’s Hat Shop in Albuquerque, New Mexico,” said Dryer. The Man’s Hat Shop steam cleans his hat. The Indian Village Mall suggests buying a brush and special powder cleaners for everyday cleaning. For Dryer, his hat lends a dignity and style to his winter-wear, even if he wears old jeans and a plaid shirt. Guess the overall message is: don’t buy a cheap hat if being taken seriously is important.

Bullfighters brave battle with brawn

Teresa McQuerrey

rim review editor

Don’t be fooled by the outrageous costumes and makeup, the bullfighters in the rodeo arena have the toughest job in the sport — keeping riders safe from raging tons of brawn. Luke Kraut, a transplanted Aussie from Phoenix, and Clifford Maxwell, also of Arizona, share the bullfighting duties at the 2015 Gary Hardt Memorial Spring Rodeo this weekend. Kraut came to the U.S. in 1995 and works as a farrier (horse-shoer) in Phoenix. He is also a former bull rider. “With my talents of bull riding I have produced a couple of bull riding events, a couple of bull riding schools, instructed three Sankey Rodeo Schools and entered more than 3,000 rodeos from California to Florida,” Kraut states on his website.

He says his passion is to provide the highest quality of cowboy protection; it is a passion he not only practices, but shares with others, teaching bullfighting skills. Kraut and his family are now in the business of breeding bucking bulls as well. Maxwell has worked a number of rodeos with Kraut and is also a former bull rider. A serious bull riding accident in 1994 — five broken ribs, a punctured lung and the loss of his spleen — made him leave the competitive side of rodeo, but he could not give up the thrill of life in the arena entirely, so he became a bullfighter. His skills have made him one of the most popular in the field. The champion riders request the bullfighters they want to protect them in the PRCA Turquoise Circuit Finals and Maxwell was their selection every year over the course of the first decade of this century.

Once he is out of the chute, it’s all business (top right) and he makes short work of his rider (at left) and makes a dangerous move (above) to emphasize his triumph and give the bullfighter a work out too.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might not like some people’s idea of a surprise. But you could be in for a pleasant shock when someone sends a reply to a request you made so long ago that you almost forgot about it. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It’s a time to expect the unexpected. So don’t be surprised if a decision that just recently seemed final suddenly opens up and leaves you with another chance to make an important choice. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Taking a different tack on a work project might rankle some colleagues. But the positive results of your innovative course soon speak for themselves. Celebrate with a fun-filled weekend. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Meeting new associates can be awkward, even if you’re in a high positive phase right now. Best advice: Make them feel comfortable, and you’ll soon forget your own discomfort. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) It’s a good time for you social Lions to blow-dry your manes, polish your claws and look like the Fabulous Felines you are as you make new friends and influence the influential. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Expectations run especially high this week, and you should feel confident in your abilities to take advantage of what might be offered. A colleague has some advice you might find helpful. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) A flurry of activity leaves you in need of a little breathing space, and you’d be wise to take it. Close family members should have an explanation about an emergency situation that just passed. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) An insensitive act makes a difficult situation more so. But try not to waste either your physical or emotional energies in anger. Move on and let others fill the clod in on the facts of life. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) It’s a good time to look into that training program or college course you’ve been considering. You might have a good place to use those sharpened skills sooner rather than later. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Education dominates much of your aspect during this week. You might want to start checking out those summer session courses that could help advance your career plans. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Progress often comes in fits and starts. But at least you’re moving straight ahead with no backsliding. You should soon be able to pick up the pace and reach your goals in due time. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Be wary of a deal that gives confusing answers to your questions. Remember: It’s always risky swimming in unknown waters, so you need all the help you can get to stay on course. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of bringing people together and creating close friendships wherever you go. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
