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.

Saturday night is the special Patriot performance honoring all active duty and retired military personnel.

Gates open at 5 p.m. and performances start at 7 p.m. both Friday and Saturday.

About Gary Hardt The Payson Pro Rodeo Committee honors the memory of Gary Hardt when the action hits the arena at the Payson Event Center this week.

Among those who remember him fondly is his son, Shawn, now a teacher and coach in Queen Creek. Shawn recalls his father was a star athlete, excelled in bull riding, was a seasoned outdoorsman and owned a John Waynelike reputation, mostly due to his physical and mental toughness.

“Everyone looked up to him and

admired him for all that he had done,” Shawn said. “He was a very unique individual.”

Over the years, Shawn — who was 22 years old when his father was killed — has listened to endless tales of his father’s exploits in high school and on the rodeo circuit.

“In high school in Phoenix he made the varsity team as a freshman and scored 26 rushing touchdowns,” Shawn said. “When he began bull riding, he rode with Larry Mahan and J.C. Trujillo, who are both world champions.”

Shawn also recalls the story of how his father, who in the late 1960s was helping search for bodies after a flood near Tonto Creek, stumbled across an angry bear.

“My dad shot him once with his .38 pistol but it only wounded the bear,” CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

Spring Rodeo celebrates two legacies CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3

he said. “The bear crawled into some brush thickets, but Dad didn’t want to leave him wounded and dying.”

As the story goes, Gary got on his hands and knees and crawled into the thicket after the bear.

“Not many men would be brave enough to do that,” Shawn said. “Dad eventually got within a few feet of the bear and was able to shoot him with his pistol.”

Shawn also remembers his father had a reputation for being quick with his fists, but said that characterization is unfair.

“Sure, Dad got in a lot of fights, but he was never the one to start them,” he said. “He wasn’t that kind of man.”

The best memories Shawn has of his father are the times the two spent outdoors.

“We did something every weekend,” he said. “It was usually hunting, fishing or going to rodeos — he was a very good dad.”

Shawn continues to honor the memory of his father by wearing one of the buckles Gary won during his seasons on the rodeo circuit every day.

“They are pretty special to me,” he said.

Ronnie McDaniel, mayor of Star Valley, a former Gila County sheriff’s deputy and justice of the peace, school

board member and Payson graduate — and one-time rodeo cowboy — agrees his former sidekick excelled in most everything he set his mind to, including fishing.

“We fished some tournaments together — he was a very good fisherman,” he said.

At Payson High School, Gary starred in track and field, especially the high jump, and in basketball.

Following his graduation from PHS in 1962, he was selected to play in the Arizona Coaches Association All-Star basketball game in Flagstaff, but opted out.

“He wanted to go to a rodeo instead,” McDaniel said. “I think his family was a little upset with him.”

The family’s displeasure over not playing in the all-star game is understandable — his father, Jiggs Hardt, was a longtime high school basketball coach and is a member of the Arizona Coaches Association Hall of Fame.

Gary satisfied his lust for bull riding for about 20 years before turning his attention to team roping.

“He was good at that, too,” McDaniel said. “We roped together a few times.”

Although Gary spent most of his adult life working in construction, he served a short stint as a Gila County Sheriff’s Department deputy working alongside McDaniel.

“He was just then starting a family

Gary Hardt died in 1987 and since then the Spring Rodeo in Payson has carried his name as a memorial to the one-time rodeo competitor.

and couldn’t make a living as a deputy, so he went back to construction,” McDaniel said.

Following Gary’s death, the Spring Rodeo was renamed in his honor and all the proceeds from the annual event benefit local youth through scholarship awards.

His sports legacy in the Rim Country continues in the coaching contributions of Gary’s brothers, Chuck and Billy.

Chuck, who retired after having coached football, basketball, track and cross-country at Payson High School, has been honored with enough coach of

the year plaques to cover an entire wall of his Payson home.

Billy is a longtime youth football league coach who has led the Payson Raiders to several undefeated records and Central Arizona Youth Football Association championships.

During its earliest years, Payson’s Spring Rodeo was part of the National Old-Timers Rodeo Association, now known as the Senior Pro Rodeo Tour.

In 1987, it became the Gary Hardt Memorial Rodeo to honor the memory of the Payson native who died in 1987.

Hardt was a well-known roper.

He was recognized throughout the Southwest for his bull riding and roping talents. His rodeo career began in 1962 at the World’s Oldest Continuous Rodeo in Payson. As a member of the Rodeo Cowboys Association, Hardt rode bulls for about 20 years. During the last 10 years of his work in rodeo, he became a well-established roper as well.

This memorial event benefits local youth in pursuit of educational and athletic achievements. Scholarships are awarded to graduating seniors and assistance is provided to athletic and other programs offered by the Payson Unified School District.

Editor’s note: The material on Gary Hardt was written by Max Foster, former sports editor and current columnist with the Payson Roundup/Rim Review.

We salute the men and women who carry on the proud American tradition of rodeo.

See cowboys and cowgirls compete for glory at this weekend’s Gary Hardt Memorial Spring Rodeo at the Payson Event Center at 7 p.m., Friday, May 20 and Saturday, May 21.

Top-ranked competitors coming to town by

rim review editor

Nearly 200 competitors will descend on Payson — including four locals — for the 2016 Gary Hardt Memorial Spring Rodeo.

The Rim Country representatives are: team roper TJ Brown; Monty Wade James, a calf roper as well as a team roper; Teri James, barrel racer; and Homer Sanders, a calf roper.

Most of the competitors traveling to the Rim Country for the weekend are from around Arizona and New Mexico; a few are from Colorado, Texas and Nevada. A couple hail from Idaho, another from Iowa and one, Rocky McDonald, is originally from Chihuahua, Mexico — though he came to the U.S. at the age of 6.

Coming the greatest distance to

compete is Sarah Rose McDonald. She claims Brunswick, Ga. as home — more than 2,000 miles from Payson.

The distance between her home and the Rim Country is just a side note.

Sarah Rose McDonald is a rising star in the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association.

She finished 2015 ranked third in the world among barrel racers, having won $284,426 in prize money. She took sixth place in the 2015 National Finals Rodeo, averaging 148.50 seconds on 10 runs and winning $139,827 — the most of any barrel racer — according to information on the WPRA website.

Currently, she is sitting at No. 13 in

the WPRA World Standings.

Stock contractor brings top animals into arena

by

Teresa McQuerrey

rim review editor

Wrestlers, racers, ropers and bull riders – the team leading the Salt River Rodeo Company knows the importance of competitive and high-quality stock in the arena.

The Salt River Rodeo Company’s team includes general manager Jerry Dorenkamp of Tucson, Ariz., with additional partners Cody Resor of Willcox, Ariz. and Owen Washburn of Lordsburg, N.M., along with Nancy Jane Henson Dorenkamp, Jerry’s wife.

Jerry has been a Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association member since 1979 and is currently a PRCA Gold Card member of the same association. In the late 70’s, Jerry competed in the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association and was second in the finals in Bozeman Montana in 1977.

Still giving it everything, in 1986 he was sitting 16th in the PRCA steer wrestling world standings when his career was cut short with a shoulder injury. He nevertheless finished that year in the top 25 in the world.

After that, Jerry turned to flanking bucking horses and bulls rekindling the stock contractor phase of his life. For the next 17 years he was the livestock superintendent, chute boss and flankman at some of the top ranked rodeos.

In addition, he has also been a flank-

man at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo every year from 1987 to 2005 and again in 2011 and 2012.

Cody Resor has been in the stock contracting business since his early years. He is currently a rancher in Willcox, Ariz. with his wife Allison and son Rio where he headquarters with his bucking horses and bulls.

He has competed in rodeos his whole life and while he now focuses on stock contracting, Cody still competes in the team roping and calf roping in the

PRCA. Owen Washburn, his wife Tricia, their son Braiden, and daughter Tierney have settled into the business of raising bulls.

Owen’s desire to be the best bull rider he could be earned him the nickname Captain Consistency. His skills were developed while riding stock in the back pens of the sales yard where his father worked.

Owen was the 1989-90 NHSRA Bull Riding champion, the 1994 Turquoise

Circuit Bull Riding Champion and finished 9th at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. He qualified for the PBR National Finals 10 times and reached the ultimate goal of professional bull riders when he captured the 1996 PBR World Championship title.

Nancy Jane is a champion as well, earning honors as a barrel racer and also competed as a team roper.

The Salt River Rodeo Company has been in the PRCA stock contracting business for more than 20 years.

Headquartered in the Turquoise Circuit regions of Arizona and New Mexico, it has consistently had livestock chosen for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo and Turquoise Circuit Finals Rodeo.

The company’s animals have pedigrees as good as any out there. The breeding program includes grandson of Calgary Stampede’s Grated Coconut, who holds a record tying six times PRCA Bucking Horse of the Year and a bull bloodline that includes Oscar, who was only ridden eight times out of 300.

Jerry and Nancy Jane believe good horses and bulls are athletes that love what they do. They have been building their breeding program for the last 18 years. Washburn has managed to raise numerous bulls that qualified for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.

This youngster riding a steer at last year’s Spring Rodeo was exuberant in his victory.

Youngsters get in on the action by

Teresa McQuerrey

rim review editor

The high-energy excitement of the rodeo is not restricted to adult competitors. Youngsters get in on the action at every performance this year — competing in the mutton bustin’ and steer riding contests.

The mutton bustin’ is for the littlest cowboys and cowgirls. They’re suited up in protective vests and helmets and put on the back of wildly protesting wooly beasts — also known as sheep.

Without the benefit of anything resembling reins, the little ones hang on the best they can while the sheep races, rears, twists and turns to get free of the rider.

The event gives most of the audience lots of laughs, while parents and grandparents of the intrepid little wranglers hold their breath or start hyperventilating in fear of when and how hard their child is going land in the arena dirt — or as was the case in 2015, the twoinch deep mud.

Steer riding is for older youngsters, but also requires the protective gear of vests and helmets.

Sponsored by Chapman Auto Center of Payson, there will be mutton bustin’ and steer riding events at each of the three performances of the 2016 Gary Hardt Memorial Spring Rodeo. The performances start at 6 p.m., Thursday, May 19, 7 p.m., Friday, May 20 and 7 p.m., Saturday, May 21. The performances are at the Payson Event Center south of town, across from the Mazatzal Hotel & Casino. Each performance will have 14 riders in mutton bustin’ and six in steer riding.

Todd Hamblin, who is coordinating the special event for Chapman, said he does not know exactly what time in the course of the performances the mutton bustin’ and steer riding will take place. He said that is decided during the planning meeting held just in advance of the rodeo.

GARY HARDT MEMORIAL SPRING RODEO

RIM REVIEW

MAY 18, 2016 • PAGE 11

The super seven events at heart of every rodeo The Gary Hardt Memorial Spring Rodeo started as an Old Timers Rodeo years ago, but has since grown into an event featuring some of the top cowboys and cowgirls in the country.

Payson has a long tradition of rodeo.

Much has changed over the years in rodeo, from ranch hands riding local stock to vie for top-dog bragging rights and show off their skills, to a big-dollar endeavor that now gives back big time to various charities like breast cancer research and salutes our veterans, featuring top stock that is bred just for rodeo. The Salt River Rodeo Company, with some of the top bulls and bucking stock in the West, is again this year’s stock contractor.

The rodeo performances feature seven traditional rodeo events: Bareback Riding Bareback riding is a rough and explosive rodeo event and predictably the most physically demanding of all the rodeo events. To compete, the cowboy rides with no rein or saddle, but instead a rigging, which looks like a heavy piece of leather with a suitcase- style handle. Riding one-handed, the cowboy cannot touch the horse with his free hand and, in this event he will lean way back onto the haunches of the horse for position. As with saddle bronc riding, the mark out rule is in effect.

Barrel Racing Barrel racing is a timed rodeo event, where the fastest time wins. Cowgirls race their top barrel horses around a cloverleaf pattern of three barrels. The riders enter the arena at full speed, quickly rounding each barrel and then exiting where they entered. A laser timer is used, registering to a hundredth of a second. Speed is what it is all about in this event. But if a rider knocks over a barrel, it is a 5-second penalty. It may look easy, but remember, these horses are flying along at 35 miles per hour or more.

Bull Riding Bull riding is the most dangerous of all the rodeo events. Bull riders say, “It’s not if you get hurt, it’s when.” As with bareback riding and saddle bronc, bull riders ride with one hand and can-

not touch the bull with the free hand.

Bull riders hang on to a thickly braided rope with a cowbell attached. The cowbell acts as a weight, allowing the rope to safely fall off when the ride is over.

Cowboys can spur for extra points, but just staying on the bull for 8 seconds is the main priority.

Saddle Bronc Riding This event grew naturally out of ranch cowboys breaking wild broncos in the late 1800s to use as working cow horses. Modern saddle bronc riding has a few modifications, mainly in equipment. Saddle bronc saddles are lightweight and have no saddle horn.

It’s a very hard event to master. Riders must hold their boots over the horse’s shoulders at the first jump from the chute (called the mark out rule) and they must stay on for 8 seconds. The rider must constantly lift on the hack rein to keep his seat in the saddle. With all bronc events, a fleece flank strap is buckled around the flank of the animal, just snug enough to tickle. The animals,

professional athletes in their own right, feel the fleece and know it’s bucking time.

Steer Wrestling

Steer wrestling (aka bulldogging) is the quickest of the rodeo events. It requires strength, speed and timing. It is a timed event and cowboys compete against each other and the clock. The amount of time it takes to complete could be as fast as just 4 seconds.

Team Roping

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.

Tie-Down Roping

Tie-down roping is the classic Old West ranch chore, formerly (and occasionally still) called calf roping. Like the steer wrestlers and team ropers, tie-down ropers start in the box ready to compete. The calf is released and the cowboy must ride his horse out of the box quickly, rope it, dismount, then sprint to the calf and lay it on its side, called flanking. With a pigging string, usually held in the cowboy’s teeth, he’ll tie up any three of the calf’s legs. The clock stops when the cowboy throws up his hands. If the calf struggles free within 6 seconds, the cowboy gets a “no time.”

Tie-down roping is very competitive and takes an extremely trained horse, usually a Quarter Horse. A good rope horse can cost $75,000 or more, and many ropers use each other’s horses at different events.

Women’s events launch Spring Rodeo Teresa McQuerrey

rim review editor

A “Women’s Rodeo” kicks off festivities for the 2016 Gary Hardt Memorial Spring Rodeo Thursday, May 19 at the Payson Event Center.

A “Women’s Rodeo” is a little misleading though.

While only women — of all ages — will compete in the evening’s roping events; barrel racing is open to everyone. There will also be youth barrel racing classes, plus 14 mutton bustin’ and six steer riding competitors.

Roping contestants had to register to compete by Monday night, May 16, but barrel racers can register until 5 p.m., Thursday, May 19 at the Payson Event Center arena.

A can or box of nonperishable food for area food banks “buys” admission to all this exciting action.

However, competitors must pay entry fees in cash — roping fees are $70 and open barrels are $80, with a fee of $30 for 3D barrels. Contestants must follow western dress code (long sleeves, long pants, boots and hat).

The Women’s Professional Rodeo Association started in 1948 — a group of Texas ranch women wanted

to add a little color and femininity to the rough-andtumble sport of rodeo. But some trace the roots of women in rodeo back to Annie Oakley and her participation in the Wild West shows put on by Buffalo Bill Cody in the late 1880s.

The sport has evolved into a million-dollar industry with women athletes riding well-conditioned horses specially bred and trained for competition.

So, plan to come out to the Payson Event Center Thursday, May 19 and enjoy the talents of today’s spiritual descendants of Annie Oakley.

Equestrian Drill Team shines at rodeo

The Cowgirls Historical Foundation Equestrian Drill team will again be part of the Gary Hardt Memorial Spring Rodeo this weekend, participating Friday, May 20 and Saturday, May 21. The group has been honored to serve in many previous Payson Rodeo and equestrian events.

national events.

With their mission statement to honor western heritage and spirit of patriotism, they develop equestrian performance drills with a message.

Using creative costuming, custom music mixes, and unique props, the members use the beauty of the horse to interact with audiences.

Members of the CHF have enjoyed many opportunities of parade participation such as the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade, Fiesta Bowl Parade, Gilbert Days Parade, Prescott Frontier Days and many others. The Cowgirls celebrate western heritage by riding on beautiful vintage silver parade saddles; wearing collectible rhinestone-studded vintage western wear from Hollywood’s Glitterati age, and honoring the future.

The flag drill team rides well-trained horses and wear outfits that are colorful and classy with vintage inspired shirts, matching blankets and details.

The Cowgirls Historical Foundation donates more than 3,500 community service hours annually.

Members wear vintage western wear dating back to the 1940s at many of the community service events.

RIM REVIEW

GARY HARDT MEMORIAL SPRING RODEO

Making rodeo work Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association judges Gordon Kesler, who is no stranger to Rim Country rodeos, and Curtis Jesse, will handle judging duties for the contests at the 2016 Gary Hardt Memorial Spring Rodeo.

In fact, most of the arena “personalities” are familiar with Payson and its rodeos.

Once again, Reed Flake will serve as the announcer, with assistance from Bryan Frye and his Rockin’ B Productions, which is again providing the sound system for the rodeo this year.

Flake has been announcing rodeos for more than 20 years.

Frye started his rodeo career more than 20 years ago as a bull rider. After 10 years of competition he hung up his spurs.

“The natural progression for me was to grab a microphone and continue to entertain the fans. I have announced rodeos, bull ridings and rough stock events across the West Coast,” he says on his website.

In addition to providing the sound and music at an earlier Spring Rodeo, he has worked the World’s Oldest Continuous Rodeo and the Arizona High School Rodeo Finals in Payson.

Taking on the dangerous bull fighting duties are Luke Kraut and Clifford Maxwell. Both are former bull riders and have worked previous rodeos in Payson.

Donnie Landis is another returning favorite to the rodeo. He has provided entertainment with his multi-faceted specialty act at several Rim Country rodeos.

The heart and soul of all Payson rodeos is its devoted Pro Rodeo Committee, which now has 129 members, plus a corps of 80 to 100 dedicated volunteers.

Help them make this rodeo a big success by not only attending, but also participating in the 50-50 raffle. In addition to the raffle’s cash prize, runner-up winners will get a pair of Justin boots, a Justin gear bag or a pair of Wrangler jeans.

The committee’s share of the raffle proceeds go toward scholarships.

RIM REVIEW

Rodeo royalty visits Rim Country this week Codi has held one rodeo royalty title or another for the last 13 years. In August 2015 she ran for the 2016 Miss Rodeo Teen Arizona Queen Title with her trusty stead Patron.

Carrying this title, she has had the opportunity to travel not only throughout Arizona, but in New Mexico as well. Codi also went on to represent Arizona and its rodeo lifestyle in Florida when she was invited to attend Teen Week at the Ft. Pierce PRCA Rodeo and St. Lucie County Fair.

As she concludes her reign, she plans to be at most

A Marine and a rodeo queen

While Miss Rodeo Arizona 2016 Alanna Hamilton calls Arizona home, she was born and raised in Marin County, Calif. She spent her childhood there until she enlisted in the United States Marine Corps out of high school.

After boot camp, Hamilton received orders to Marine Corps Air Station Yuma and spent her first year in Arizona exploring the state with her first rodeo queen title.

She is now 22 and an active duty USMC corporal doing what she loves: serving her country and representing her state and the sport of rodeo.

“As Miss Rodeo Arizona, my most memorable experience so far has been attending the Silver Spurs Rodeo in Kissimmee, Fla. This was the first time I really had a chance to meet most of the other state title holders and learn about them and their states. I learned so much that weekend about what it means to be a rodeo queen,” Hamilton said.

Asked what advice she would give young women interested in following in her footsteps, she said, “I just want them to know they need to believe in themselves. When competing for a title or holding a title, there might be unfortunate things that happen that you cannot control. The only thing you can do is accept these things, and if you believe you will still do your best anyway, you will.”

Miss Rodeo Teen Arizona Queen has lifetime love of sport

Codi Ross, the 2016 Miss Rodeo Teen Arizona Queen, is an 18-year-old senior at Blue Ridge High School in Lakeside, Ariz.

Her love and passion for horses and rodeo started at the tender age of 3. At this very young age she knew she wanted to be in the rodeo world.

She started out her rodeo adventures at small, hometown barrel racing and pole bending clubs and went on to compete in High School Rodeo Association events throughout high school. Her contests were barrel racing and pole bending on her horse Hoss. She also participated in reined cow horse competitions on her horse Patron.

At the age of 5, Codi ran for her first rodeo queen title and won. Since then it has been her ultimate goal to become Miss Rodeo Arizona and go on to represent the amazing state of Arizona at the Miss Rodeo America Pageant in Las Vegas, Nev. during the National Finals Rodeo.

of the PRCA Rodeos in Arizona.

After graduation in May, Codi is planning to go on to college at Central Arizona College in Coolidge, Ariz. and then go on to become an equine chiropractor.

Serving as Miss Teen Rodeo Arizona Ross said her most memorable experience so far has been going to Florida for Teen Week.

“The Miss Rodeo Florida program invites all of the state teen rodeo queens from across the country to come to Florida. To participate in a week of fun-fulled activities such as going to Disney World, Wild Florida, air boating and of course, my favorite thing, rodeo.

It was such a great experience to meet other teen queens from around the country and be able to represent Arizona in Florida,” she said.

Asked what advice she would give young women hoping to follow in her footsteps, Ross said, “My advice to all young women is to always reach for your goals, never let yourself think you can’t do something you have set your heart on. I started my journey to becoming Miss Rodeo Arizona when I was 5 years old.

I have worked hard to win 11 titles across the state so having the title as Miss Teen Rodeo Arizona only puts me one step closer to my goal.

“It’s very important for all of us young women to set goals, to reach for the stars, rope them and let them lead us to our dream.”

She said having the chance to be Miss Teen Rodeo Arizona is a memorable experience.

“Being able to represent rodeo at such a high level will be something I will never be able to forget, along with the all the amazing new friends if have made. I would like to thank every rodeo I have been to this year; they all have been so welcoming to me and my family. My horse Patron and I are so excited to be at

the rodeo this weekend.”

New Mexico student represents Turquoise Circuit

Miss Turquoise Circuit Nicole Nelson was born and raised in Alamogordo, N.M. to Robert and Jerry Nelson.

She started competing in the sport of rodeo at the age of 10 as a barrel racer.

“As I’ve grown older, I started taking an interest in western pleasure walk/trot and reining. I am an active volunteer for the Therapeutic Riding Association at NMSU and in my future I plan to join the NMSU rodeo team,” she said.

When she has free time she loves to be outdoors rock climbing, hiking, swimming, biking or spending quality time with her family, friends and beloved animals.

“I also train for ultra-marathons and completed my first 50K last year,” Nelson said.

She is attending New Mexico State University as a full-time student for a major in kinesiology with an emphasis of exercise science and biomechanics.

“My goal is to work with collegiate and professional athletes until I gain enough experience to join the Justin Sports Medicine Team for the PRCA,” she said.

Nelson said her life’s goal is to leave a lasting impression on the people who need an inspiration, role model, a friend, or even a friendly smile that gives them the encouragement to live the life they love, and to love the life they live.

During her travels as Miss Turquoise Circuit, Nelson said, “My most memorable experience so far has been to travel to Kissimmee, Fla. for the Ram National Circuit Finals and represent our Turquoise Circuit. I got to be part of the rodeo production and meet some of the other state and circuit queens. The coolest thing about this trip was comparing how far everyone had to travel to take part in the greatest sport on dirt.”

Asked what advice she would give to young women

hoping to follow in her footsteps, Nelson said she’d first tell them to never give up.

“Always seek out for opportunities to make someone else’s day a little bit brighter. Life is spontaneous; never think little of your self-worth because I believe everyone is meant to do something extraordinary. Of course, always remember, if at first you don’t succeed, try and try again.”

Rim Country gets its own rodeo royalty CONTINUED FROM PAGE 16

Trading in one crown for another

Paige Creasy, the Payson 2015-2016 Junior Teen Queen trades in one crown for another at the 2016 Gary Hardt Memorial Spring Rodeo. Creasy is to be crowned Payson Teen Rodeo Queen at the rodeo.

She is the 13-year-old daughter of Stephanie and Tony Creasy, and was born and raised in Payson, Ariz.

She is in the National Junior Honor Society and has achieved a 4.0 since starting school.

Creasy, while young, 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.” Using this theme as her 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 about the consequences of drug use.

She held the title of “Navajo County Rodeo Princess” from 20122013, which was her first royalty title. In 2014-15 she earned the title of Globe, Ariz.’s “Copper Dust Rodeo Stampede Missy.”

Creasy has visited many rodeos around the state, but her most favorite is in her hometown of Payson, where she has had the honor of carrying the American flag to start off the Gary Hardt Memorial Spring 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.

Creasy 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, seldom letting 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. She hopes to further her education and become a large animal veterinarian.

After an absence of many years, last year the Payson Pro Rodeo Committee decided to continue the tradition of having Rim Country rodeo royalty represent its Spring and August rodeos around the state.

It selected Paige Creasy to serve as its 2015-16 Junior Teen Queen and at 6:50 p.m., Friday, May 20, before the start of the evening’s performance she will be crowned Payson Teen Rodeo Queen.

RIM REVIEW

Charity Cake Auction open to all Sunday

Rim Country residents and visitors are all invited to show off their cake-baking prowess at a brand new event — a cake auction. The auction is from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., Sunday, May 22 at the Payson United Methodist Church at 414 N. Easy St. (behind Ace Hardware and the Habitat for Humanity ReStore).

You can participate as a cake baker, a cake bidder or both!

A number of local celebrities will be baking cakes to be auctioned off. It remains to be seen who will be enjoying cakes baked by Payson Mayor Kenny Evans; Star Valley Mayor Ronnie McDaniel; Police Chief Don Engler; Fire Chief David Staub; Bobby Davis, the Payson Economic Development director; Lance Porter, chief executive officer of Banner Payson Medical Center; Jason Norman, executive director of the Payson Care Center; plus a number of other business owners and names you might know. However, this is not just for celebrities — anyone who wants to “get in on the action” is welcome to bake their favorite cake and participate in the auction as well.

Bakers should bring their homemade cake to the Payson United Methodist Church between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. May 22. Cakes will be registered and placed in the auction that afternoon. Bidders for the cakes are encouraged to visit the church between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. to view the cakes and bid in person. Those

who cannot be at the church will be able to call in to place their bids by calling 928-468-2226. However, this number will only be functioning between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m., Sunday, May 22. KMOG will be doing a live remote from the church

that day so this number will be shared numerous times that afternoon. If by chance you get a voice message when you call, please call back.

Auctioneers for the afternoon will be KMOG’s Ron Gibson and John Landino,

a duo that promises to be quite entertaining. Since it is rodeo weekend, Miss Rodeo Arizona 2016, Alanna Hamilton will be a special guest at the auction along with her horse, Miss Reckless, in the church parking lot. Payson Pro Rodeo Teen Queen Paige Creasy and her horse, Baby, will join Hamilton.

This is a wonderful opportunity for folks and their children to take pictures with these young women and their beautiful horses.

Organizers of this event have been amazed by the level of interest that’s being shown by so many in Payson and look forward to making this an annual event.

Start thinking about the kind of cake you will bake and challenge one of your neighbors, friends or co-workers to make one as well and then see who gets bragging rights for the highest bid.

Entries must be made by the individual providing the cake — no cheating.

But you don’t have to go overboard either. Since each cake will be sold on the plate or surface it is on, please remember that it will not be returned to you.

If you have any questions, please call Nancy Landino at 928-468-0026.

This event is sure to be a lot of fun as well as very worthwhile. Proceeds will benefit The Time Out Shelter, Payson Community Kids and Payson UMC missions.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A once-harmonious relationship appears to be hitting some sour notes. Spend some time together to see why things have gone off-key.

What you learn might surprise you.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You feel a need to make some changes. Good -- you can do it on a small scale (some new clothes, for example), or go big and redecorate your home and/or office.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Control your tendency toward early boredom. A situation in your life might be taking a long time to develop, but patience pays off. Stay with it.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might feel that you’re on an emotional roller coaster this week. Don’t fret; just ride it out and let things settle down. A Pisces shows understanding.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Do something different for once -- compromise. A stubborn stand on an important issue proves counterproductive. You need to be open to new ideas.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A friend offers advice that you perceive as an act of betrayal. But before you turn against the messenger, pay attention to the message.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A year of riding an emotional pogo stick finally settles down. Use this calmer period to restore frayed relationships and to pursue new opportunities.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your words can sting, so be careful how you respond to a friend’s actions.

A calm approach could produce some surprising facts.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Be careful about whose secrets you’re being asked to keep. They could impose an unfair burden on a straight arrow like you.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) While you prefer taking the tried-and-true course in life, be adventurous this week and accept a challenge that can open new vistas.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Your strong sense of justice helps you deal with a job- or school-related situation. Stay with your principles. A Sagittarius emerges as a supporter.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You need to build a stronger on-the-job support system to convince doubting colleagues that your innovative proposals are workable.

BORN THIS WEEK: You might not say much, but you’re capable of extraordinary achievements. You are a loyal friend and a devoted family person.

Fire & Smoke Damage Mitigation, Removal and Restoration

RIM REVIEW

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 R DAM AG and E Restoration FIRE && SMOK E WATE STO RM SMOKE CLEAN UP RESTORATION 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.

HELP US HELP YOU BY TAKING THESE STEPS: • Turn off the source of the water if you can.

• Remove things like lamps, tabletop items and wall mounted valuables.

• If possible, lift or prop furniture away from water affected areas.

• Wipe away any water left on furniture.
