PAYSON ROUNDUP TUESDAY | FEBRUARY 3, 2015 | PAYSON, ARIZONA

Officer resigns after reprimand by

A detention officer who let an inmate get under his skin resigned from the Gila County Sheriff’s Office following a brawl in the Globe Jail last year. Detention officer Kenneth Warden said he was angry after inmate Zachary Mason yelled obscenities at him, provoking him to a fight, according to an internal investigation by Gordon Gartner. Impulsively, Warden ordered the jail’s control staff to open Mason’s cell door or “pop” it, without handcuffing Mason or calling for backup nearby to assist. A fight ensued in the jail’s common area, knocking over a nurse’s medication cart and drawing out several guards, who ultimately subdued Mason with a Taser.

A recent fire in a Payson condominium complex has left some families homeless. Hunter Scott, a Pine-Strawberry firefighter, lost almost all his possessions when an adjacent apartment caught fire, so now the family is struggling to cope — with one young child and another on the way.

Voden murder trial delayed by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

The trial for a man accused of murdering his neighbor over a barking, loose dog has been pushed back several months. A judge initially set a Jan. 21 trial date for Michael Alan Voden, charged with the second-degree murder of Randy Burnett. Judge Gary Scales reset the trial to March 31 at 9:30 a.m. in Globe. Voden remains on house arrest since he posted bond in December 2013, unable to possess any guns or leave his home other than to meet his attorney or receive medical care. Police Chief Don Engler said officers randomly searched Voden’s home once for weapons, but found nothing. Under Scales’ terms, officers can check Voden’s home for guns no more than once a month. On the morning of Nov. 9, 2013, Voden reportedly used his handgun to shoot Burnett repeatedly after

Burnett entered Voden’s yard from a side gate to retrieve his dog Scooter. The dog was reportedly running around Voden’s yard after Randy’s wife Brenda let Scooter out to go to the bathroom. When the dog didn’t return, Brenda awakened Randy to help retrieve the hound dog. When Brenda turned to get a ball from their yard, Randy reportedly entered Voden’s yard to grab Scooter. Voden exited his home and confronted Randy, firing several times, according to a copy of a 911 call. Randy died just feet from Voden’s side door. In July, Randy’s widow Brenda Jo Burnett filed a wrongful death suit against Voden and his wife Patricia Rollins, asking for no less than $5 million in damages. Voden asserted his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, according to court documents. Scales will hear oral arguments from Voden’s lawyers on his motion to stay discovery in the civil case at 4 p.m. on Feb. 20 in Payson.

Tonto Natural Bridge has rebounded from near closure, drawing more than 100,000 visitor this year — a nearly 60 percent increase. Rim Country’s best known tourist attraction features the world’s largest natural travertine arch and a historic inn. Visitation fell from about 95,000 annually to less than 60,000 annually during the recession as the state siphoned money from state parks and shuttered the park for weeks and months at a time. At one point, Payson, Star Valley and the Tonto Apache Tribe helped keep the park open with donations and by recruiting a host of volunteers. The surge in visitation in 2014 heralds both the recovery of the region’s tourist economy and bold moves state parks and the bridge’s advocates have made to return it to its tourist glory. It draws thousands to Rim Country every year who stand below the soaring arch and marvel at one of nature’s largest travertine wonders. With visitation growing every year, the lodge

and grounds at Tonto Natural Bridge State Park are getting some much-needed attention. Work is currently underway to restore 10 guest rooms and the rest of the four-story lodge, See Tonto, page 10A

Hearing dampens claims water company overcharged by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

After months of accusations and days of hearings, turns out Payson Water Company only charged residents of Mesa del Caballo about $200 on water hauling charges in 2011, the evidence showed at the end of the latest hearing before an Arizona Corporation Commission judge. Mesa del Caballo resident J. Alan Smith filed the complaint against Payson Water Company, although he originally suspected far more extensive problems than the records that the water hauling company showed. Smith still believes the evidence is more complicated, but conceded during the hearings that the available records didn’t support his suspicions.

The various hearings against the Payson Water Company filed by numerous residents started with a flood of accusations alleging the company overcharged by thousands of dollars, but current Payson Water Company president and owner Jason Williamson demonstrated the overcharge only came to a couple of hundred dollars. Despite the days of testimony, Smith afterward says he still thinks that close to 60,000 gallons of water went missing, based on a comparison between how much water the Town of Payson sold to PWC and the invoices for loads hauled by Pearson Hauling Company. However, in his closing statement during the hearings Smith ended up simply asking for more oversight from the ACC. “There are policies and rules and regulations, I

designed to keep you from missing life’s adventures.

understand that,” said Smith. “The commission requires a company to follow (the rules), as Mr. Carlson (an ACC staff witness) said, they are not on (the company’s) back every day … I would ask for a lot better oversight in the matter. I’m surprised we’ve taken so long to deal with 2011.” Williamson, who bought the company from Brooke Utilities, represented the company’s interests during the two days of hearings (Jan. 15 and 30) although the events all took place before he bought the company. Armed with invoices provided by former owner Robert Hardcastle and the Town of Payson, Williamson walked Smith through the logic of why the community of Mesa del Caballo was only overcharged $199.

After a fire in a condominium complex, a family is struggling to get back on their feet and asking the community for help. Hunter and Kayla Scott were out of town Dec. 29 when the neighboring unit on the second floor of Forest Hills Condominiums caught fire, spreading rapidly and shooting towering flames into the dark sky. Firefighters managed to save most of the complex, but five units were damaged. The blaze totally gutted the unit next to the Scotts’, where someone reportedly failed to extinguish a cigarette on an upstairs patio. Flames spread to a futon and then to the complex. Because the fire spread through the attic, firefighters ripped down the ceiling in the Scotts’ unit to check for hot spots. A combination of water, smoke and insulation destroyed most of the Scotts’ belongings. A third upper unit has minor damage and two lower units have water damage, said condo manager Caroline Dacres. Ironically, Hunter is a firefighter with Pine-Strawberry Fire. The couple, who have a 5-year-old son, Hakon, is expecting their second child in a few months. Ashley Figueroa, Scott’s sister, said it is fortunate the couple was out of town when the fire erupted. Photos of the fire show flames shooting out of the window in Hakon’s room. “His bed is underneath the window with the flames coming through. Unimaginable,” she said. “The firefighters of Payson did the best they could to reduce the damage and spread of the fire, along with rescuing my nephew’s fish and later finding the family’s cat, alive, but the aftermath damage has been devastating for my family, as well as other residents of the complex.” In the weeks since, the Scotts have battled their insurance company to cover the loss of personal property. The insurance company eventually offered only a fraction of what it is going to cost to replace everything damaged, Figueroa said.

Crews recently added ramadas to Star Valley’s municipal park. The town council and staff built the park at a bargain price. They bought some land in bankruptcy, worked a deal to buy benches and other facilities built with prison labor, and pulled together donations to provide a low-cost town amenity for recreation and public events.

Membership costs $24.95 per month, but the Mogollon Health Alliance can provide scholarships for low-income members and patients. For the open house, Rim Country Health and MHA are offering a special “Sample It” membership — try the program for a week for free. Then on Friday, Feb. 6, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Southwest Behavioral Health will show off its new location at 302 W. Aero Drive in Payson. The new Empowerment Center will provide counseling and mental health support services for Rim Country residents. Staff members of the center will serve lunch to people wanting to learn about the new center starting at 11:30 a.m.

Family struggling after fire From page 1A The couple is now living with Hunter’s parents in Pine while they wait for crews to rebuild the condo. Dacres said she doesn’t know when the condo will be fixed, but it will be at least several months with crews just getting the appliances and personal effects out. “I feel so bad for them,” she said. “(The Scotts) are an awesome couple.” So far, Dacres transferred one displaced tenant to an empty unit and several other units are opening up. She doesn’t know if either will fit the Scotts’ needs. Figueroa said the Scotts are just trying to get back to normal, especially with a baby on the way. “Things really could have been much worse, but with this situation everything that they own has been ruined in one way or another and they are going to need to try and replace all the items they have not been able to salvage,” she said. Since they have no storage, Figueroa is asking donors to hold off on larger donations until the couple moves back into a home. Figueroa established an account at National Bank of Arizona in the Scotts’ name. “If people would like to offer their support, it would be humbly appreciated by monetary donations rather than physical items,” she said.

Detention officer quits after he’s disciplined From page 1A Gartner found Warden used excessive force when he delivered an uppercut to Mason, acted incompetently by letting Mason out of his cell, lost his cool and failed to maintain high standards of conduct. The GCSO ordered Warden to serve a 16-hour suspension and undergo 16 hours of training, but Warden has since resigned, said Sarah White, chief administrative officer with the GCSO. Around 5 p.m. on Jan. 28, 2014, Warden escorted a nurse through the dimly lit green hallway of cells in the Globe Jail, delivering medication to inmates. At cell No. 171, Mason cried out when he learned he would not get any more medication because he had been hoarding it, Gartner found. Mason demanded Warden move him to

cell No. 166 and away from two other inmates. Warden told Mason he would need to talk to a sergeant about being moved. Warden and the nurse continued to pass out medications, but Mason grew more irate, screaming louder and louder. “(…) So I went back there and told him, ‘If you’re going to sit here and keep bitching about it, I’m not going to help you. You need to calm down’” Warden said. “And then that’s when he said, ‘F*** you’ and I asked him, ‘Did you say f*** you?’ He said, ‘Yes, f*** you bitch.’” As Mason reportedly continued to yell, Warden said,“You wouldn’t be talking like that if I open your door.” Warden asked the control room to open Mason’s cell door. Mason ripped off his shirt, exited and punched Warden in the mouth. As Warden went to grab Mason, so did detention

officer M. Benson. Mason escaped the grip of the officers and ran away. Video surveillance shows Warden and Benson striking Mason repeatedly with their fists. Sgt. Erich Kenney and officer Patricia Pacheco arrived and helped get Mason under control. However, before the incident was over, Warden punched Mason in the head. Pacheco says this was unnecessary. Warden told Gartner he should have never opened Mason’s cell without first handcuffing him and calling for backup. He said he let Mason, “get the better of me.” Warden said he was willing to attend anger management courses. Gartner found Warden opened Mason’s cell not to move Mason, but to engage in a fight after Mason challenged him and insulted him repeatedly.

From page 1A

In essence, Smith accused the Payson Water Company (formerly Brooke Utilities) of billing Mesa del Caballo customers for water hauled to East Verde Park because he didn’t have authorization from the ACC to impose water hauling charges on East Verde. Williamson agreed that 58,874 gallons of water out of the 707,900 gallons hauled to Mesa del Caballo went to East Verde. However, he said that amounted to about 8 percent of the water Pearson hauled. Since Pearson charged about $2,400, the cost of the water hauled to East Verde and charged to Mesa del Caballo amounted to about $200. “Do you agree with that?” Williamson asked Smith. “If you would like to use that as a prorated basis as accurate for your computation,” said Smith. Williamson took that as a yes and confirmed that $199 was overcharged to Mesa del Caballo because the trip charge was not properly allocated by Pearson Hauling Company. One of the issues Smith pointed out in earli-

er testimony was that Payson Water Company (Brooke Utilities) could not charge water hauling charges to East Verde Park because the ACC would not allow it, which ACC staffer Darron Carlson, confirmed on the stand. “East Verde Park also filed an emergency rate case and we denied it because (Hardcastle) did not lose a lot of money,” said Carlson. Carlson did confirm that the ACC considered $50,000 (a 2009 loss by Brooke Utilities) a major loss for a company such as Brooke Utilities, so granted them an emergency rate until Hardcastle could figure out a better source of water for Mesa del Caballo. Carlson also said the staff reviewed the charges every month. “At the end of the month, we were sent the invoices and the surcharge,” said Carlson. “In my recollections, we checked every month ... we were concerned how much it would cost. We had this monitoring mechanism that is not usual.” During his questioning of Carlson, Smith confirmed that staff does not audit the company in its day-to-day operations, such as

finding the best price for a water hauling company. But Carlson did say staff watched to make sure that the water hauling company did not charge unreasonably. Smith said after the hearing that the staff did not verify exactly how many gallons were hauled in each load. “They only looked at invoices,” he said. In his closing statement, Williamson said he is doing his best. “As the new owner of Payson Water Company we are trying to be sensitive to our customers,” he said, “however, in this case and in reviewing the record, it is clear the company submitted everything they were asked to submit. Staff even said they spent close attention .... Even so, if the company made an error and billed Mr. Smith incorrectly ... the total bill is less than $200. It is important this process occurred ....” Williamson, in an email after the hearing, did caution that everyone should wait until Judge Nodes renders his Recommended Order before making any judgments. “He may agree or disagree on any or all of these conditions,” he wrote.

The still, small voice vs. the crowd’s roar

• Feb. 2, 1847: The first woman of a group of pioneers commonly known as the Donner Party dies during the group’s journey through a snowbound Sierra Nevada mountain pass. The disastrous trip west ended up killing 42 people and turned many of the survivors into cannibals. • Feb. 1, 1862: “The Battle Hymn of the Republic,” by Julia Ward Howe was first published in the “Atlantic Monthly.” • Feb. 4, 1938: Walt Disney releases “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” his first full-length animated feature production. Naysayers, including his wife, warned him that audiences wouldn’t sit through a cartoon fantasy about dwarfs, but the film quickly grossed $8 million, a staggering sum during the Great Depression. • Feb. 3, 1953: French oceanographer Jacques-Yves Cousteau publishes “The Silent World.” Three years later, the film version was released to world acclaim. The film, which revealed the hidden universe of tropical fish, whales and walruses, won Best Documentary at the Academy Awards.

A simple classroom exercise, unexpectedly revealed a profound truth. Payson High School science teacher Andrew Fiala’s experiment was simple enough. He wanted to get students to ask questions when they got lost in his efforts to explain math and other tough concepts. He noticed many students kept quiet, even when they’re baffled and in danger of bombing the next test. How could he give them courage? So he did a survey. He asked each student to rate their own knowledge and to indicate in what areas they felt unsure. Then he turned the results into a graph, which he shared with the students. Turns out, most of them felt unsure of their knowledge of the more advanced concepts. Interestingly enough, once the students discovered they weren’t the only ones struggling, they proved far more willing to ask questions. Turns out, they’d rather flunk the class than publicly reveal their fear and uncertainty to other students they assumed knew more than they did. Meanwhile, another study examined how people respond to peer pressure. This one attempted to use signs to prevent people from stealing fossilized wood from the Petrified Forest National Park. Oddly enough, signs saying other people had stolen tons of fossils from the park actually increased thefts. A simple “please don’t steal the fossils” worked best. The researchers concluded that people will do the wrong thing if they think other people are also doing it. In short, we’re sheep. Well, maybe that’s too harsh. We’re an exquisitely social species, forever molding our behavior to the opinions and actions of those around us. We’d rather do the wrong thing than stand out in the crowd. So finding the courage to do the right thing, to stand up for our beliefs, to adhere to a higher sense of ethics and morality remains the great spiritual and moral challenge for each of us. History has shown repeatedly the madness and evil into which human beings can fall under the cover of a great, bleating, mindless, heartless group. The horrors of the Middle East, with its savage beheadings certainly underscore the point. But then, so does our own nation’s long embrace of slavery. Alas, the challenge to behave rightly lies with each of us — in the still, small voice within that speaks to us if we will only listen and shut our ears to the roar of the crowd without. Perhaps that’s too much weight to put on a questionnaire in science class. But then, the truth glimmers in the most unexpected places if you have the eyes to see.

Classroom spending Payson Unified Schools Superintendent Greg Wyman makes solid points in his critique of Gov. Doug Ducey’s budget proposal. The governor’s budget is a humbug — cutting K-12 schools, universities and community colleges once again while pretending he’ll limit the K-12 cuts to “non-classroom” spending. Nonsense. We’ve got the worst-funded public schools in the country. Pretending you can cut the school budget further in any category without hurting teachers and classroom learning is cynical, politically shameless blather. What the governor should do is add money to schools, set clear standards of accountability and free schools from the burdensome state mandates that have forced districts to take on the very added administrative costs for which he criticizes them. Then perhaps schools could in fact put more money into the classroom. Consider the impact of one simple intervention at a high school in Chicago. The program trained recent college graduates to serve as math tutors then matched them with mostly black and Latino kids from rough neighborhoods and impoverished backgrounds. One tutor worked with two boys, providing them attention and encouragement. In a single year, they gained two years in math. Their grades also improved in other subjects. Remarkably enough, a follow up study found that the students who had tutors were 60 percent less likely to be arrested for a violent crime than members of a control group. So Gov. Ducey is right: Schools must focus their resources on the classroom. But he’s tragically wrong to believe that the way to make schools focus on the classroom is to hack, hack, hack away at the resources they need to do their jobs.

The impact of the governor’s budget proposal on Payson schools by

Greg Wyman

pusd superintendent

Gov. Ducey has presented a budget proposal for the state of Arizona. As with any budget, the devil is always in the details. Several people have asked if I had any issues with the proposed budget because it seemed to not hurt K-12 education. These questions have heightened my concern about the presentation of the budget. I wanted to take an opportunity to provide information to the Payson community about the potential impact of the proposed budget to the school district. Although it may appear that this budget was not impacting K-12 public education, the reality is that 42 percent of the projected cuts in the budget proposal come from K-12. The bottom line is that the current budget proposal will mean a reduction $135 per student, which translates into a loss of $325,000 to the Payson Unified School District budget next year. In addition, the district faces a loss of $100,000 due to a declining student population. When people ask will the budget hurt Payson schools, the answer is, “yes.” Part of the confusion was when the governor indicated that school districts will need to move 5 percent more money into the classroom from administration or other non-classroom categories. The goal is to move the state average to 63 percent, the national average, in terms of dollars spent in the classroom. This statement implies that currently money is being spent on administration and nonessential services at the expense of the classroom. The confusion with these numbers, which are from a report by the Arizona Auditor General, is that the purpose of this report is to detail the “percentage” of dollars in the classroom. It is important to understand that the governor’s budget proposal has no new money going to the classroom. What will change is the percentage of money in the classroom. For example, if the budget for the Payson Unified School District is $13,325,000 the budget proposal will reduce this amount. If the reduction is $325,000 next year, but the amount of money designated for the classroom does not change, the percentage of money to the classroom will increase. This does not mean that new money went into the classroom. Cutting from the non-classroom categories is not as easy as it may seem. Non-classroom cat-

egories include administration, plant operations, food service, transportation, student support and instructional support. In all of these categories the majority of the money goes to students, but is not calculated as classroom dollars. The simple solution to this complex problem is to just cut administrative dollars. Gov. Ducey and several legislators referenced the amount of waste in administration in public schools in Arizona. The Auditor General’s report shows that school districts in Arizona spend less on administration than the national average. The governor has also touted the effectiveness of charter schools. Ironically, a recent report from the Arizona Department of Education demonstrated that the percentage of dollars spent on administration in charter schools is double the percentage spent in traditional public schools. Much of the work required by administration is the result of government mandates and federal and state statutes. The discussion on cuts to administration never seems to discuss cutting the requirements placed on schools. If administration is cut, who will pay bills, follow procurement laws, take care of payroll and benefits, deal with grant and federal funding management, deal with student discipline and employee discipline, meet with parents, or a host of other jobs currently done by administration? I can promise you that if these jobs need to be picked up by teachers they will not be nearly as effective of a teacher because they will be taking care of all these other jobs. Cuts to these other areas are also difficult because they will have a direct impact on students. Transportation costs are a result of transporting students. Any changes in this area will impact students and families. Another area not considered dollars in the classroom is plant operations. Plant operations are the cost to maintain the buildings in a district. For perspective, Payson Unified has 403,272 square feet of building space of which 95.8 percent is school buildings. The majority of space at a school is classroom space; however, the cost of heating and cooling this space is not considered classroom dollars. Changing temperature set points to save energy will make buildings colder in the winter and hotter in the spring and fall. These savings will directly impact the students. In many cases changes to these non-class-

room areas are not possible because of factors outside of the control of the school district. School districts have no ability to influence the cost of fuel for our buses or the rates charged for electricity, natural gas and water. In the past decade there has not been a decrease in the cost associated with these utilities and future projections do not suggest rate decreases. In addition, a number of these costs are mandated by federal or state laws. The business of public education is students and the majority of a school district budget, more than 90 percent, goes directly to the cost of educating students. People can debate whether school districts should transport students, feed students, provide extracurricular activities, provide special needs services, or what should go into building schools. However, societal expectations and government mandates have created laws and expectations that make all of these aspects a part of what it takes to educate a child. School districts, including Payson Unified School District, have made very difficult decisions during the past seven years. These difficult decisions resulted in schools being closed, employees losing jobs, and programs being cut. The funding for these cuts has not been restored and the upcoming cuts will continue to significantly impact our schools, in Payson and around the state. These cuts will directly impact the health and safety of students in our schools. As significant as these cuts are this year it is important to understand that the cuts next year are predicted to be significantly worse than this year. The state budget has a structural deficit, and this deficit is not being addressed. More simply, the expectations for services by the people of Arizona cannot be met with current revenues. Without a significant increase in revenues the projected shortfall next year, FY16, is $500 million to $1 billion. In short, the devil is in the details with the governor’s budget proposal and the details reveal that the budget proposal will have a direct and negative impact on the schools in Payson. The cuts will continue the trend that places the state of Arizona at the bottom of funding for public education in this country. This budget proposal is not good for the students and staff in the Payson Unified School District.

Story about deputy was a smear piece and little else Editor: I am very distressed upon seeing a tiresome repeat of the ugly lawman-shoots-dog story in the form of a front-page story in your newspaper. In addition to the clear anti-deputy bias, the story begins far too late to be completely truthful. It is a smear piece and little else. The true story begins with the fact that the dog was frequently allowed to run loose in total disregard for the property rights of the neighbors, including the McClures’ right to raise their livestock

without interference. A loose dog quickly becomes a menace and for goodness sakes, what about the welfare and safety of the dog itself from automobiles and predators? And why is Deputy McClure the only party named in this story? Can the dog’s owner not be named as well? What does she have to lose, or gain, by remaining anonymous? She is not a victim. She is responsible for the death of her pet. The law is clear. Had she properly secured her dog in accordance with the statute, this tragedy would not have occurred in the first place. Instead, a man’s reputation and livelihood are at stake. Deputy McClure is a fine and honorable man. He is extremely safe with firearms, and I believe what

The Monster of Green Valley Lake by

Pete Aleshire

roundup editor

No telling how many hours Larry Hinds Jr. has spent casting his line into the still waters of Green Valley Lake. Lots. Lots and lots. But he darn near missed his big moment. The third generation Rim Country resident, electrician and artist, had put his pole on a stand and walked away to tend to doing the right thing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I walked away to throw some garbage away,â&#x20AC;? said Hinds. So he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even holding onto the pole when the monster hit. Fortunately, his good buddy Jeff Goodyear was standing nearby. He saw the pole get jerked off the stand and lunged for it before it disappeared into the lake.

So heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yelling. And Larryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yelling. And that fish is just stripping line. Hinds had six-pound test treaded onto his pole, plenty strong for the pansized, stocked rainbow trout he normally pulls out of the lake at Green Valley Park. But now that six-pound test is just hissing off the reel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He fought pretty good. Must have been five or six minutes,â&#x20AC;? said Hinds. Somehow, the light line held and the friends brought to shore the biggest trout either of

them had ever caught. Later, Hinds measured the fish at 22 inches long and weighing 4 pounds, 5 ounces. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very likely the biggest fish three generations of Hinds have pulled out of Rim Country waters â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s saying something, since Larry notes Grandpa Hinds served on the Gila County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Posse in the 1960s. Larry said he catches a couple of fish pretty much every time he hits the park. Normally, he throws them back for the kids and the flatlanders. Not this time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t throw him back,â&#x20AC;? said Hinds. So now thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a family fish fry planned, so everyone can admire the guest of honor â&#x20AC;&#x201D; proof that every now and then, you can actually believe a Rim Country fishermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tall tales.

Permission to question, proves key to learning by

An interesting thing happened when Payson High School physics teacher Andrew Fiala showed his students evidence that fellow classmates had more gaps in their math knowledge than anyone knew â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they asked questions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was very interesting,â&#x20AC;? said Fiala. For a project required by his masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program, Fiala gave each of his pupils a survey that asked each student how sure they felt about math concepts from addition and subtraction to algebraic formulas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Understanding algebra is important in physics,â&#x20AC;? he said. Once Fiala received the answers, he made a graph chart with the results. The students discovered all of their classmates understood addition and subtraction, but starting with multiplication confidence dropped.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told them if they had a question about a concept, the graph showed other classmates would probably have the same question, too,â&#x20AC;? said Fiala. The graph worked. The students asked more questions and Fiala was able to move forward more quickly on the physics concepts. Recent research explains this phenomenon. Professor Robert Cialdini from Arizona State University found that if people believed a damaging behavior was socially acceptable, they would feel comfortable doing it because, â&#x20AC;&#x153;everyone else is doing it.â&#x20AC;? Cialdini and his research team decided to see what sort of a sign would stop people from taking pieces of petrified wood from the Petrified Forest National Park near Holbrook. The first sign posted said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many past visitors have removed the petrified wood from the park, changing the state of the Petrified

Forest.â&#x20AC;? The theft rates remained at 5 percent. Cialdini and crew decided to up the severity of the message: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your heritage is being vandalized every day by theft losses of petrified wood of 14 tons a year, mostly a small piece at a time.â&#x20AC;? The researchers were stunned to see that this message inspired thieves to increase what they took by 8 percent. What the results suggested to Cialdini was that if people believe an act, even a harmful act is socially acceptable they will do it. Cialdini ended up dropping the theft rate to 1.67 percent when he put up a sign that said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remove the petrified wood from the park.â&#x20AC;? In Fialaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, his graph allowed his students to believe asking questions, even if about multiplication, was acceptable. Fiala said he plans on using this survey in future classes.

Payson Jewelersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Photographer Greg McKelvey discovered shooting fast-moving model planes isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as easy as it looks when a few members of the Rim Country Camera Club teamed up with members of the Flyers Club at a little landing strip in Rye recently.

Photographers, airplane buffs combine their passions Story and Photos by Greg McKelvey special to the roundup

Three members of the Rim Country Camera Club recently visited Peterson Field near Rye to practice the art of fast motion photography. Armed with tripods with gimbal heads, long lenses and digital cameras, Harold Rush, Patty Hunt and Greg McKelvey worked with The Flyers, a 26-member club dedicated to foster, educate and promote all phases of the sport of model aviation. The model airplane experts put safety first, allowing the photographers to set up at a safe distance, based on the flight pattern of the powerful model airplanes. While most of the craft were fixed wing craft powered by battery or gas engines, the club does have members who fly helicopters, Quadra copters and other remote-controlled aircraft. The photographers marveled at the speed of the airplanes and the short takeoff run needed. The pilot can stand nearer the runway so

as to have a clear view of the flying area, and is often accompanied by a spotter who watches for other aircraft. The pilotsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hand-eye coordination is remarkable as they send the plane into rolls, vertical stalls, loops, and smooth as glass landings. Well most of the time. Being morning, the best lighting is to have the sun at the photographerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back and hope that the wind is calm so the pilots can take off toward the south. The setting is special as the Mazatzal Mountains form the skyline and the gravel bank of the Deer Creek drainage offer background of more than just blue sky. A few cows share the space and given these craft only stay up for 10 minutes or so, it is critical the Angus be kept off the landing strip. Initially, the photographers struggled to find these quick craft in the camera and follow them. The planes can turn so fast most photographers could keep them in the frame only briefly except on landing and takeoff photos. By 11 a.m., they had tried about every angle and took more poor shots than keepers, but that is the norm for fast-action photography, be it sandhill cranes on Willcox Playa or zippy model airplanes in Rye. Setting the camera on burst mode paired with a setting that keeps the object in the center of the frame constantly in focus can produce images with the plane sharp and the background blurred. Taking a lot of photos might well yield ones with unusual angles, positions and events. Forget about the poor photos and only focus on the keepers. The members left feeling challenged but satisfied and grateful to club President Bob Summers, Vice President Rob Rusch, Secretary and Treasurer Dewalt & Dennis Oosthuizen, and Flyers Safety Officer Lee Kishinami for setting up the visit.

The MHAXIII Health Plus facility at Rim Country Health is inviting former clients to come back and see what’s new and asking everyone interested to check it out as well. Revitalized for the new year, the MHAXIII Health Plus facility has new hours, new staff, new equipment and is christening it all with an Susan LaBonte open house at noon, Thursday, Feb. 5 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and refreshments, including club sandwiches and homemade potato chips. Located inside the apartment complex at Rim Country Health, 809 W. Longhorn Road, in the interior building, the facility is designed for cardiac rehabilitation — a place where those in cardiac recovery that are able to move beyond formal rehab therapy to a more normal exercise routine. Now it is expanding to provide fitness services for the general public as well. The facility is open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Supervised by certified fitness coach and personal training Susan LaBonte, assisted by Linda Rickard, clients receive a personalized fitness program. LaBonte said the client’s program is based on their individual abilities, needs and what they want as their personal fitness goals. Above all, “It’s all about being positive,” LaBonte said. Another new feature, it is not necessary to have your doctor’s written permission to participate. “A lot people said they were having to wait weeks to get in to see their doctor to get permission slips and some even had to pay for an office visit just to get a signature on a piece of paper,” LaBonte said of the reason for the change. Still, if a new participant seems to be challenged, it will be recommended they see their doctor before continuing with the program. The rest of the features: discreet, no pressure atmosphere; low impact hydraulic equipment — LaBonte explained the equipment is designed to increase resistance with the speed of the client’s efforts; circuit training available — this means clients can get a good workout in just 30 minutes, something working people can do during their lunch hour; monitoring and charging of heart rate, blood pressure, pulse, oxygen level and body mass index. LaBonte said because Rim Country Health Linda Rickard and the Mogollon Health Alliance, which sponsors the program, want to grow its participation, it may be possible to arrange for sessions before or after work. A special “Sample It” offer is available — try the program for a week for free; the cost is only $24.95 a month (it was $35 a month). Need-based financial aid is available from MHA if phase III is not covered by a client’s insurance. To learn more, call LaBonte or Rickard at (928) 468-6644.

Myofascial release is an effective handson therapy, which can directly change and improve health of the fascia. The purpose of myofascial release is to break down scar tissue, relax the muscle and fascia and restore good posture. Myofascial release techniques focus on relaxing the deep tissue of the body providing lasting and effective relief to the client and patient. It is applied directly on the body and uses slow and sometimes deep pressure to restore the proper health of the fascia. Myofascial release therapy has been used effectively for: low back pain, headaches, neck stiffness, shoulder injuries, arthritic conditions, sports injuries and many more. The benefits of using myofascial release therapy includes: reduction in muscle spasms, improved joint movement, decreased muscle and fascial tension, improved breathing, and reduction in chronic recurring injuries. In general myofascial release is used to improve the health of the muscles and fascia, improve circulation and restore good posture. What does a myofascial release treatment feel like? The pressure can range from very gentle touch to deeper pressure. It should never be beyond your tolerance and it is important to give feedback to your practitioner during the treatment. Some patients may experience a slight burning sensation in the skin, which is perfectly normal and safe. Others may feel a gentle to deep stretch on the area being treated.

The importance of speech therapy by

Bret daCosta

rim country health

Speech-language therapy encompasses a wide range of services, mainly on an individual basis, but also as support for individuals, families, support groups, and providing information for the general public. Speech services begin with initial screening for communication and swallowing disorders and continue with assessment and diagnosis, consultation for the provision of advice regarding management, intervention and treatment, provision counseling and other follow up services for these disorders. What does a speech therapist do? Speech-language pathologists must be able to listen to and communicate with their patient in order to determine the right course of treatment. Speech-language pathologists (sometimes called speech therapists) assess, diagnose, treat and help to prevent communication and swallowing disorders in patients. Speech, language and swallowing disorders result from a variety of causes, such as a stroke, brain injury, hearing loss or emotional problems. Speech pathologists typically do the following: communicate with patients to evaluate their levels of speech or language difficulty; determine the extent of communication problems by having a patient complete basic reading and vocalizing tasks or by giving standardized tests; identify treatment options; create and carry out an individualized treatment plan. When treating patients, speech-lan- Don Koehnlein, M.S., guage pathologists typically do the fol- CCC/SLP, speech lowing: teach patients how to make language pathologist sounds and improve their voices; teach alternative communication methods, such as sign language, to patients with little or no speech capability; work with patients to improve their ability to read and write correctly; work with patients to develop and strengthen the muscles used to swallow; counsel patients and families on how to cope with communication disorders. Speech-language pathologists work with patients who have problems with speech. Their patients may be unable to speak at all or they may speak with difficulty or have rhythm and fluency problems, such as stuttering. They may work with those who are unable to understand language or with people who have voice disorders, such as inappropriate pitch or a harsh voice. Speech-language pathologists must also complete administrative tasks, including keeping accurate records. They record their initial patient evaluations and diagnoses, treatment progress, any changes in a patient’s condition or treatment plan, and, eventually, they complete a final evaluation when the patient finishes the therapy. Some speech-language pathologists specialize in working with specific age groups, such as children or the elderly. Others focus on treatment programs for specific communication or swallowing problems, such as those resulting from strokes. In medical facilities, speech-language pathologists work with physicians and surgeons, social workers, psychologists and other health care workers. In schools, they work with teachers, other school personnel and parents to develop and carry out individual or group programs, provide counseling and support classroom activities.

Relearning the skills for daily life at home and work by

Bret daCosta

rim country health

What is occupational therapy? A form of therapy for those recuperating from physical or mental illness that encourages rehabilitation through the performance of activities required in daily life. An occupational therapist is a health professional with at least a 4-year college degree that specializes in evaluation and treatment of various diagnoses that limit functional independence. Recovery after an injury to your hand, wrist, elbow or shoulder can be difficult. What does an occupational therapist do? Occupational therapists treat injured, ill or disabled patients through the therapeutic use of everyday activities. They help these patients develop, recover and improve the skills needed for daily living and working. Occupational therapists typically do the following: observe patients doing tasks, ask them questions, review their medical history; evaluate patient’s condition and needs; develop a treatment plan with activities and specific goals to be accomplished; help people with various disabilities with different tasks, such as leading an autistic child in play activities; demonstrate exercises — for example, joint stretches for arthritis relief — that can help relieve pain of chronic conditions; evaluate a patient’s home or workplace, and, based on the patient’s health needs, identify potential improvements, such as labeling kitchen cabinets for an older person with poor memory; educate a patient’s family and employer about how to accommodate and care for the patient; recommend special equipment, such as wheelchairs and eating aids, and instruct patients on how to use that equipment;

assess and record the patient’s activities and progress for patient evaluations, for billing, and for reporting to physicians and other health care providers Patients with permanent disabilities, such as cerebral palsy, often need help performing daily tasks. Therapists show patients how to use appropriate adaptive equipment, such as leg braces, wheelchairs and eating aids. These devices help patients perform a number of daily tasks, allowing them to function more independently. Some occupational therapists work with children in educational settings. They evaluate disabled children’s abilities, modify classroom equipment to accommodate children with certain disabilities, and help children participate in school activities. Some therapists provide early intervention therapy to infants and toddlers who have, or are at risk of having, developmental delays. Therapists who work with the elderly help their patients lead more independent and active lives. They assess the patient’s abilities and environment and make recommendations. For example, therapists may identify potential fall hazards in a patient’s home and recommend their removal. In some cases, occupational therapists help patients create functional work environments. They evaluate the work space, plan work activities, and meet with the patient’s employer to collaborate on changes to the patient’s work environment or schedule. Occupational therapists also may work in mental health settings where they help patients who suffer from developmental disabilities, mental illness or emotional problems. They help these patients cope with, and engage in, daily

life by teaching skills such as time management, budgeting, using public transportation, and doing household chores. In addition, therapists may work with individuals who have problems with drug abuse, alcoholism, depression, or other disorders. They may also work with people who have been through a traumatic event. Some occupational therapists, such as those employed in hospitals, work as part of a health care team along with doctors, registered nurses and other types of therapists. They may work with patients with chronic conditions, such as diabetes, or help rehabilitate a patient recovering from a hip replacement surgery. Occupational therapists also oversee the work of occupational therapy assistants and aides.

Picking a cowboy hat remains western art form Buffalo, beaver and wool – the hat makes the man by

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-medown 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 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-bel-

ly 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 hatbox 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. Michele Nelson/Roundup Guess the overall message is: don’t buy a cheap hat if being taken Tonto Basin’s John Dryer swears by beaver fur cowboy hats that have seen him through all the phases of an eventful life. seriously is important.

Daniel Walling (Cast A) as Elwood admires the portrait of his imaginary friend, Harvey (above). Newman Becker (Cast B) as Elwood gets hauled off to a mental hospital by Tony Gentless (Mr. Wilson) and Steven Martinez (Dr. Sanderson).

In a bold move, and because he had 24 strong thespian students, Thomas Walling of the Payson High School Theatre program, cast two completely different sets of students in the 12 roles of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Harvey.â&#x20AC;? The result? Two different plays. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a little difference in blocking and character development,â&#x20AC;? said Walling. And he was right. The cast (B) played by lead characters Newman Becker (as Elwood P. Dowd) and Larissa Popke (as Veta Simmons) performed on Thursday and Saturday. The other cast (A) led by Daniel Walling (as Elwood) and Elle Leblanc (as Veta) performed on Wednesday and Friday. Both casts featured thespians that rarely have the opportunity to play lead roles. Devon Marcus played Betty Chumley, the social wife of Dr. Chumley (David Friday), the lead doctor of the sanatorium. In the play â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Outsiders,â&#x20AC;? Marcus played mostly in the background. Same for Kiki York, who piled her voluminous amounts of hair on her head, donned a professional business suit and played the lawyer, Judge Gaffney with logical precision. She too played an extra in â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Outsiders.â&#x20AC;? Cameron Rislund stepped out from behind the tech curtain to play Judge Gaffney with Cast B. He positively beamed at his performance. Another tech person who can wear the hat of an actor, Hailey Hamblen, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always play major roles, but distinguished herself as Myrtle-May Simmons with Cast B. In her first time performing with the high school drama department, Carly Banning, who plays trombone with the band, played Nurse Kelly with Cast B. Daniel Walling doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play lead roles often, but carried the role of Elwood with his own type of flair.

Another Acting One graduate, Tierney Phillips, channeled a society lady as the part of Betty Chumley with Cast B. Naomi Cobos (Nurse Kelly with Cast A) played some minor roles in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Les Miserables,â&#x20AC;? but sparkled in her first major role.

Tonto Natural Bridge State Park manager Steven Jakubowski (above) shows some of the interior remodeling of the historic lodge (at left). At right is a photo of the cavern itself from the side most tourists don’t see.

Tonto Natural Bridge State Park visitation soars From page 1A including an observation deck, to its former glory. Starting this spring, guests can rent out the historic lodge for group use, such as weddings and family reunions, with up to 28 people allowed to stay the night in rooms named after local figures such General George Cook and David Gowan Goodfellow. Goodfellow built the lodge in 1925, one of the first guest ranches in Arizona, according to Roundup archives. “If the enormous 100-year-old mulberry tree, east of the 80-year-old lodge, could talk, it could tell tales of children swinging from its branches, weddings held beneath its boughs and guests of the lodge strolling toward the wonder of the 183-foot-high travertine bridge,” according to a 2007 Roundup article. The tree is still there today as well as a number of original features in the lodge, including Celotex fiberboard walls, made from the waste of processed sugar cane, and an old knob and tube electrical system. The highly flammable Celotex is going and the electrical system was

Park contractors are meticulously restoring the interior of the historic lodge. upgraded last year. Everything else that is safe is staying, said Steven Jakubowski, park manager.

“We are maintaining the history, the heritage, so anything that alters the historic fabric has to be approved by the state preservation office,” he said. “Over the years, the building has changed. The floors used to be hardwood floors, so the carpet is not historic,” he says pointing to a thick pile carpet on the second floor landing. While the lodge has undergone updates throughout its history, the current renovation project started in August. It includes updates to the interior, electric and plumbing system. Five air conditioning units and central heat went in four months ago. Before that, ceiling fans and small evaporation coolers were the only way to cool the spacious building in the summer. A new, leveler lawn and rose garden sits just outside the lodge, perfect for wedding receptions, Jakubowski said. And out near State Route 87, crews installed a $31,000 entrance sign. The Friends of Tonto Natural Bridge State Park contributed $10,000 toward the purchase of the sign. The 12-foot sign is the first for the state park system. Soon, all state parks will have a similar sign,

which features a large picture. With the park open seven days a week again, visitation numbers have skyrocketed. Payson Councilor Su Connell proudly reported there were 41,000 more visitors in 2014 compared with 2013, and revenue last year sat at $555,000. That is a big change from 2009 when the state parks board closed Tonto along with 10 other parks due to a budget crisis. The closure didn’t last long though with the town, along with the Tonto Apache Tribe, Star Valley and a host of volunteers, partnering with the state parks board to help cover operating costs. The park re-opened on the weekends, then five days a week and finally a seven-day schedule resumed. Jakubowski said while the budget crisis is not over, things have leveled out and the park no longer requires outside money. The Friends group remains very active though, marketing the park and raising funds for improvement projects, such as information signs. With a huge up-tick in visitation,

Jakubowski doesn’t think the park will ever see its hours cut again, especially with the lodge re-opening. Bryan Martyn, state parks executive director, made Tonto Natural Bridge one of his top priorities, Jakubowski. When complete, the lodge at Tonto Natural Bridge State Park will be the only accommodations of its kind for the state parks. And the plan at Tonto Natural Bridge eventually includes building several cabin rentals south of the lodge. Currently, Jakubowski is finishing up an operating plan for the lodge. The call center at Kartchner Caverns will handle reservations, although a rate structure has not been announced. While each room will come furnished and include a quaint, in-room sink, most of the rooms do not have bathrooms or share one with an adjoining room. Several of the rooms have enclosed porches. A lower level suite is handicap accessible. “The marketing concept is rustic cabin retreat vs. resort,” he said. For information, visit http://azstateparks.com/Parks/TONA/.

Riotous celebration and a storybook ending Four-point play brings fans to their feet by

Keith Morris

roundup sports editor

Keith Morris/Roundup

Teammates mob Chaz Davis after the junior hit a three-point field goal and a free throw with :01 on the clock to lift the Longhorns past Eagar Round Valley on Friday night.

Even nightmare seasons can feature a memorable game or two. Payson’s boys basketball team demonstrated that on Friday night with the kind of dream finish they’ll talk about for decades. The Longhorns went into the game against Eagar Round Valley on a character-testing, and agonizing losing streak, with no hope of a postseason and two games left to end their misery. But then they played the game of their year and ended up celebrating like they’d just won the state championship. Thrilling comebacks can have that effect on players. But it wasn’t so much the fact that they came back to pull out a 55-54 decision against the Elks, but the way they did it that was so memorable. The delirious finish came as junior Chaz Davis sank a three-point basket while being fouled with one second remaining, tying the game on the trey, then winning it by stepping to the foul line and calmly sinking the free throw to cap a rare four-point play and give the Horns their first home win of the season and the diehard fans a gift. The roar of the few hundred Longhorn supporters after the Elks missed a desperation three-quarter court shot at the buzzer sounded like a sell-out crowd as fans poured onto the court to pile on top of Davis seconds after his teammates mobbed him in a joyous

celebration. “Anytime this team can get a win, it’s huge for us emotionally,” the hero said. “So it was nice to see all our fans and everyone on our team react like that. It’s just nice to see, the season that we’re having, to be able to still look up in the stands and see those people and they haven’t stopped cheering for us all year, they’re always behind us no matter what and it’s awesome for us as a team.” The great finish was really a dream come true for Davis, who didn’t have time to set up in a favorite spot. “That’s where I caught the ball; there’s not much you can do with three seconds left on the clock,” he said. “I’ve been dreaming for an opportunity to be able to win a game like that my whole life, so it was really cool to be able to fulfill that.” He said he hopes such an emotional victory makes the Longhorns (6-22 overall) more confident heading into tonight’s season finale at home against Show Low. “Going into our senior night, it’s a huge deal for us to be able to give the seniors a chance to win on their home floor and have some confidence going into that game,” he said. Ruben Estrada was one of the first players to hug Davis after final buzzer. “I saw the Chaz Davis I’ve seen since seventh grade. The dude is best in the clutchest moments; he knows what to do, he knows the

Longhorn Gabe Hernandez makes a winning move in his bout with Ian Cobb in Thursday’s dual meet.

Chino Valley 51, Payson 18

Unlike Payson High’s boys and girls basketball teams, who enjoy many opportunities to play in front of the home crowd each season, the wrestlers don’t. The Longhorn grapplers spent the entire season competing in away matches before coming home for the first time this year for their big 19-team Payson Invitational on Jan. 23-24. Then five days after that ended, the Longhorns were back in action at Wilson Dome for their only home dual meet of the season. Thursday afternoon began with Payson wrestlers winning three of four junior varsity matches. A brief ceremony recognizing the team’s few seniors followed, with team manager McKyla McCrary and wrestlers Trevor Anderson and Chris Perry all called to the center of the mat with their families. Unfortunately, the varsity team was unable to continue the strong performances by the JV Longhorns as visiting Chino Valley won 10 of the 14 weight classes to beat Payson 51-18 on Thursday. Brendan Macnab (126 pounds), Gabe Hernandez (145), Tanner Dendy (152) and Tito Vega (195) posted the Longhorns’ only victories, with Macnab and Dendy winning

by pin and Hernandez and Vega by decision. Payson forfeited at three weights. The visitors recorded four pins, including Alex Ocampo’s fall at 182 that put the Cowboys ahead 39-15 and clinched the victory with three weights remaining. But that didn’t stop Vega from doing his best at 195, as the junior won in dramatic fashion, pulling out a match tied at 5-5 after six minutes of regulation by taking David Lemke to the mat during the one-minute overtime period to prevail 7-5. The small home crowd of approximately 75 roared their approval as Vega managed an escape in the final seconds of regulation to tie the score, then recorded the takedown early in the extra session.

Injuries can’t damage duo’s team spirit by

Keith Morris

roundup sports editor

Tessa Hintze and Sara Novack expected to serve as key cogs in a Payson girls basketball team with high expectations this sesaon. Instead, knee injuries sidelined the two plucky juniors. Nonetheless, they have still played a key role in every game and practice by doing anything they can to support their teammates. “It shows their commitment to the team and sport,” said coach Miles Huff. “They’re competitors and they want the team to know they still support them, regardless if they’re playing or not. “I’ve told both those two their role is essential-

ly player-manager at this point; obviously not the playing part, but they’re responsible for stats and they’re huge on just the emotional side of things, keeping the team encouraged.” Of course, the coach wishes he had both players available to send out on the court every night. “It’s huge to lose a player like (Tessa), who is not only a ball-handler, but she’s also a scorer. “Sara is pretty much in the same boat. She was pretty much a starter last year. Before getting hurt, she helped quite a bit with the ball handling and Sara brings a very good outside shot, which would have been huge. She was one of our five most experienced players coming back.” But the silver lining, in the coach’s mind, is

that their absence created an opportunity for others to gain varsity experience. “The positive about it is it allows other players to step up and get time and prepare for next year, so it’s not all bad,” Huff said. Hintze tore her right anterior cruciate ligament going up for a block in volleyball in a game against Snowflake on Oct. 8 and missed the rest of the season. About a week after the injury she learned she’d miss the entire basketball season, as well. She had surgery on Nov. 24. “It was heartbreaking because I knew something was really wrong and I knew I wasn’t going

Another painful loss for Longhorns by

Keith Morris

roundup sports editor

Payson’s girls basketball team entered Friday’s game against visiting Eagar Round Valley hoping to snap a six-game losing streak. The Longhorns looked like they might be on their way to doing just that as they carried a four-point lead into intermission. And Payson led 48-46 after Sadie Dunman hit a pair of free throws with 1:05 remaining. But the Elks outscored the home team 5-1 the rest of the way by hitting five of eight free throws, while the Longhorns were one of two at the charity stripe in the final minute in a 51-49 Round Valley victory. Terena Ward enjoyed one of her best games of the season, sharing game-high scoring honors with 16 points for Payson. Arissa Paulson added 13 points for the Longhorns. Walia Smith led Round Valley (12-11) with 16 points. Payson coach Miles Huff was disappointed in the performance. “Like I told the girls, it should have never gotten to that point,” he said talking about how close it was at the end. Payson, which fell to 8-17

overall and 5-12 and to No. 38 in the Division 3 power rankings as of Monday, entered the game having come close to upsetting Whiteriver Alchesay, the No. 12 team in the Division 3 power rankings as of Monday, on the road before falling 64-60 in overtime in Whiteriver on Jan. 27 and falling 67-39 at No. 3 Winslow on Jan. 29. “We played probably our best game of the year against Alchesay,” Huff said. “We gave them everything they could handle, took them to overtime and had a chance to tie it back up with about three-and-a-half seconds left and couldn’t quite convert a contested layup. It was a heck of a game, a lot of fun. The Longhorns close the season at home today at 6 p.m. against Show Low on senior night.

c o r r e c t i o n Payson’s girls basketball team lost at Whiteriver Alchesay on Jan. 27. The Roundup reported the wrong outcome in Friday’s paper due to an error at MaxPreps.com.

Boys basketball wins From page 1B game better than anyone on this team and he’s the best player we have and he showed it right there at the end,” the guard said. Estrada said it’s great to finally end a close game on a high note. “It’s huge. We’ve lost so many close games, we haven’t been able to get over the hump. I mean, it’s too late in the season now, but it’s better late than never. It’s just the best feeling you’ll get winning a game like that and seeing your teammates win as a team, everyone hitting clutch shots when it came down to it. It’s just great.” With the Longhorns donning old uniforms in honor of the players who’ve come before them, Davis scored 12 of his team-high 14 points in the second half, including seven in the final quarter. Braden Hancock added five of his eight points in the fourth period and Ryan Ricke five of his seven. Round Valley led by five points, 22-17, at halftime and matched its largest lead of six points, 34-40, with 4:07 remaining. The Elks led by five, 50-45, after a pair of free throws with 38.2 seconds left. But Ricke sank a three-point bucket to cut the deficit to 50-48 with 30.1 unplayed. Two more free throws following Matt Davis’ fourth foul left the Elks up 52-48, but Matt Davis nailed a three-pointer of his own to make it 52-51 with 8.9 seconds on the clock. Matt Davis fouled out with 6.6 seconds left and when Arturo Pena converted both free throws to leave the visitors with a 54-51 advantage, it looked bleak for

the Longhorns. However, they inbounded the ball from the far end line and worked it to Chaz Davis, who got a great look at the basket and let his three-point attempt from the top right of the key fly with :03 on the clock as Kyron Woolf made contact with him. The ball found nothing but net. “You’ve got to give them credit. We were trying to deny that kid the ball in the first place, which we didn’t do, and he just hit a nice shot and stepped up and made his free throw after we were silly enough to foul him,” said Round Valley coach Chris Matthews. “I’ve coached these guys since they were in the seventh grade. I love to call them the cardiac kids because it’s like riding a roller coaster sometimes with them,” said Chaz Davis’ father and Payson assistant coach Cameron Davis. The Longhorns hope the momentum from Friday’s victory carries over into their season finale at home tonight at 7:30 p.m. against Show Low following the 6 o’clock girls game in which both teams’ seniors will be honored.

Injuries can’t stop them From page 1B to play volleyball anymore,” she said of the day she suffered the injury. “I didn’t know I wasn’t going to be able to play basketball, but it was pretty hard. I cried. It was pretty heartbreaking.” She’s been rehabbing the knee and hopes to get back to athletic activity in July, just in time to prepare for volleyball season. “It’s been really tough,” she said of sitting on the bench. “I just wish I could help my team out, but they’re doing pretty good and we’ll see what happens next year.” She said, although she isn’t happy Novack also suffered a similar injury, she’s happy for the company. “It’s nice to have a little buddy to talk to now because I was all by myself,” Hintze said.

Novack’s injury occurred during the first basketball game of the season. She tore the ACL in her left knee. The coach said Hintze’s good humor helps everyone. “We let the mental aspect kind of get us down, especially this year,” Huff said. “Tessa’s huge on just keeping things light. She’s always joking, so it kind of keeps the tension away from big situations.” Novack made it through volleyball season but tore the medial collateral ligament and frayed the ACL in her left knee in the basketball home opener against Camp Verde on Dec. 9. She’s not scheduled to have surgery until Feb. 5, but hopes to be ready for volleyball season. Riding the bench is not what she envisioned this season. “It sucks,” she said. “It’s hard to sit on the bench and watch. But you have to go and support the team still.”
