Chance article reunites WWII postcard with owner

A chance write-up in an article written by publisher John Naughton in 2010 connected a World War II vet with a postcard he wrote to a friend as he crossed the country to his training base in 1942.

The author of the card, Douglas E. Wade, has now seen the card and expressed astonishment it has come back to him 73 years later.

It all started when Bill Sahno, a local Rim Country resident, retired Marine colonel and president of the local Marine Corps League, received an email from John F. Schlatter, an

author who writes about WWII letters and postcards that were written by men in the service. (To see his work please go to: https:// www.createspace.com/4650990 and https:// www.createspace.com/4003496) “Today I spotted, for sale on eBay, a postcard that was written in December 1942 by a Marine named Douglas E. Wade. It was sent to someone in Minnesota and appears to have been written while Pvt. Wade was en route to training in San Diego,” said Schlatter in his email.

Schlatter then said, his web research led him to Sahno because of the 2010 Roundup article about the annual Marine Corps Birthday Party. According to the arti-

cle, Wade had attended the ball and received one of the first pieces of cake cut to represent passing the torch from the older generation to the youngest.

“The first piece of birthday cake was presented to the oldest Marine present, Lieutenant Colonel Doug Wade, retired, and the second piece to the youngest Marine, Corporal Jonathan Montes, currently serving at the Marine Recruiting Service in Phoenix,” wrote Naughton.

Well, Schlatter wasn’t so sure this was THE Douglas E. Wade he was searching for, but he hoped Sahno could help him put the

Family in denial ignores addiction’s warning signs by

Alexis Bechman

Beth Smith has struggled for eight years to help her daughter escape the clutches of heroin. Kendal’s addiction took a terrible toll, but now she’s off the drugs and eager to help other families understand the causes and warning signs.

When Beth Smith found a needle and spoon in her 16-year-old daughter’s bedroom, she did what most parents would do. She called the cops and watched them cart away her daughter’s much-older, drug-using boyfriend.

But as the police hauled him away, he shouted that Kendal was using too.

Beth didn’t believe him for a moment: Not her beautiful, smart, well-raised daughter.

And in that moment of denial, she missed another in a long sequence of chances to save her child. She couldn’t believe it then, but Kendal was already a full-fledged heroin user.

The full nightmare for the family lay just ahead. For the next six years, Kendal bounced in and out of rehabilita-

tion facilities and drug court, gave birth to a methadone baby, dated men in and out of prison and stole from her parents, family and stores anything she could get her hands on to get high.

She’s straight now, but facing a jail sentence. She and her family are also

eager to tell their story, in hopes of saving other Payson families from the trauma, ruination and near tragedy their family suffered.

Unfortunately, her tale’s not unusual, according to a mounting number of studies of drug abuse. That especially includes heroin, with a surge in addiction and overdose in Rim Country and across the country.

Research shows that the temptation to drink or use drugs can overcome almost any child, regardless of grades, family background, family support, intelligence or social class. Moreover, research suggests that genes and biology play a key role. Some people can drink or use drugs without becoming quickly addicted. Other people become dependent after trying a drug only a few

Governor vetoes Rim lawmakers’ federal takeover bills by

Pete Aleshire

roundup editor

Different governor.

Same result.

Rim Country’s representatives in the state House continue to provoke more than their fair share of opposition from Gov. Doug Ducey, with several vetoes of bills intended to force the federal govern-

ment to turn over millions of acres of land to the state of Arizona.

Rep. Brenda Barton (R-Payson) and Rep. Bob Thorpe (R-Flagstaff) have taken the lead in sponsoring an array of bills that seek to force the federal government to turn over to the state the roughly 42 percent of the land in the state it controls.

Several bills they sponsored made it all the way through the House and Senate, only to fall to Gov.

Ducey’s veto pen. As it happens, former Gov. Jan Brewer — also a Republican — vetoed several similar bills sponsored by the two lawmakers during her time in office.

Thorpe’s HB 2176 would have required the federal government to turn over all lands not serving a purpose outlined in the U.S. Constitution, which his bill defined as everything except national parks, like the Grand Canyon. It even covered national his-

toric sites and monuments, like Montezuma Castle, Sunset Crater and Tonto National Monument.

The bill would have authorized the state to sue the federal government within five years to force the turnover.

Legal experts point out that the state renounced claim to all the federal lands when it became a state

Four friends on an 800-mile trek hit Pine just before Trails Day by

Max Foster

special to the roundup

Hiking the 800-mile Arizona Trail can be a lonely journey.

Just ask any of the four hikers who stopped in Pine on Monday to replenish their backpacks with food and supplies from the Ponderosa Market.

“We are about halfway through and we’ve seen only about 10 people on the trail,” said hiker Emily Roberge of Tempe. “We’ve been mostly to ourselves.”

The foursome set out on the hike March 4 at the Mexican border southeast of Sierra Vista and hope to arrive in mid-May at the Arizona Trail north trailhead near the Utah border on the Kaibab plateau.

The group originally planned to hike about 12 to 18 miles each day, but in Pine the four agreed they’re ahead of schedule.

On the journey with Roberge are mother and daughter Alex­ andra Mayo and Cindi Mayo of Phoenix and Kimberlie Wong of Honolulu, Hawaii.

The four friends are hiking to support Wild at Heart, a Cave Creek bird sanctuary dedicated to the conservation and preservation of Arizona’s native birds

of prey. The nonprofit sanctuary relies entirely on donations and volunteers.

Roberge and Cindi Mayo both volunteer at the sanctuary.

On the trail from the Mexican border to Pine, the women have come across all types of wildlife, but pay particularly close attention to the birds of prey.

“I find it kind of ironic we are hiking for birds, owls and raptors and we’ve had the chance to see all of them,” said Cindi Mayo.

“Once we had a hawk circling and calling over us, like he was talking to us.”

While three in the group are experienced backpackers, Wong is on her first major backpacking expedition and is relatively new to Arizona.

Wong met Alexandra, who goes by “Twix,” while both were living in Honolulu.

Wong is a freelance artist documenting the wildlife and trail events through her drawings.

While readying themselves in Pine to return to the trail, the women showed a stuffed toy owl, named Widget, explaining they have carried the bird with them since they left the Mexican border.

“He’s our mascot,” said Cindi Mayo.

Every five days, the group pauses as they did in Pine to buy food and water. “We sometimes find water on the trail, but then purify it,” said Roberge.

“Our food, we cook on small camp stoves,” chimed in Cindi Mayo.

When asked if it was a coincidence or planned that the hikers were in town just days before Pine/Strawberry Trails Day (April 18), the four looked at one another and shrugged.

“We didn’t know that, but we would have liked to have been here for that,” said Roberge.

While making their way through Pine and over the Rim, the group will post photos and blog about their trip when they can get a wireless signal.

In the days prior to reaching Pine, the group was not within range of any communication.

To track the progress of the hikers and Widget, visit the Wild at Heart website and click on News & Events (http://wildatheartraptors.org/news/az-trail/).

Gila Community College considers tax hike by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

Gila Community College’s 2015-16 budget looks better than last year, but the senior dean wants the board to vote to raise the property tax rate to the legal limit to protect programs.

“This is the best budget we have been able to bring forward since I have served as senior or campus dean,” Stephen Cullen told the board. The budget features an 11 percent increase in the spending limit.

If the board accepts the recommendation, the average homeowner will see the college’s share of their property tax rise by 2 percent.

The tax on new construction will produce another 1 percent increase from the property tax levy.

Ironically, the district is doing better this year because as a provisional district

it never got much help from the state — so recent state cuts haven’t hurt it, said Cullen.

This year, the district carried forward $1 million in unspent money. “This is money we have saved from operations going back,” said Cullen.

He warned the board not to expect such a windfall in the future.

“This is the highest cash carry forward I have seen in 10 years,” he said. “At one point, we had a cash carry forward of just $200,000.”

In addition to increased property tax revenue, the district has enjoyed an $18,000 boost in science, technology, engineering and math funding and $249,000 in workforce development funds for vocational training.

“The $249,900 is a restricted fund — that is workforce money that may only be spent

for what it is restricted to be spent on,” said Cullen.

Cullen estimates the district will get $1.4 million from tuition, about the same as last year.

Gila County has promised $250,000 to help with building and maintenance costs, but Cullen believes this support from the county will not go on indefinitely.

“I would consider the $250,000 to be soft money because we’re not going to get that every year,” Cullen told the board.

The district will publish the budget in the Roundup and hold hearings before the board actually votes on the spending plan.

Friday, April 17 at 10 a.m. the board held a special meeting to set the time for the public hearings. The board will probably not actually set the tax rate until June 4.

The public is invited to all meetings.

Douglas Wade (second from left) received recognition at a Payson Marine Corps banquet in 2010, which led, by strange paths, to the return to him of a postcard he sent to a friend in 1944.

World War II postcard finds its way home From page 1A pieces together.

At first Sahno struggled, suggesting Schlatter go to sources at the headquarters of the U. S. Marine Corps.

Then Sahno remembered Wade was often invited to the Marine Birthday celebration to represent the oldest Marine in Rim Country.

“I knew that the name sounded familiar!”

Sahno wrote to Schlatter. “Last I heard, Doug and his wife moved back to Missouri to be with their son and family.”

It didn’t take Sahno long to get Schlatter the address and contact information. In the meantime, Schlatter purchased the card off of eBay. The card had had a long journey.

After Wade wrote the card to his friend, Jim Diehl in Minneapolis, and he kept it all those years, the card left Diehl’s family.

Schlatter suspects the family sold it at an estate sale after Diehl passed away.

Then he reported it changed a few hands, until he bought it.

“The person I bought it from is Anna, in Illinois. She bought it at a flea market from someone she deals with often. He bought it at an antique store in Peoria Heights, Ill. He contacted them, but they don’t remember where they got it,” wrote Schlatter to Sahno.

On Monday, April 13, Schlatter dropped the card in the mail for Wade.

In the meantime, Wade’s son showed him a picture of the card, which features a drawing of a 1942 John Deere tractor.

On the back, Wade had written, “Pvt. Douglas E. Wade 499267 U.S.M.C — San Diego, Cal. Dear Jim — Have a gamboling good time on this train — we’re going through N. Mexico now — will arrive in San Diego, Sunday

P.M. Don’t answer yet till we get in camp when we write — Good luck in school — Love — Doug & Jerry” Schlatter said Wade’s son thought he knew who Jerry was. He also reported on what Wade said when he saw the card.

“Doug’s son says he showed my email image of the card to his dad, who couldn’t believe the card had come back. I mailed it Monday, so they should receive it this week,” wrote Schlatter.

Sahno has labeled this the “Postcard Caper” and spoke about it on the radio when he talked about the Honor Flights for WWII vets.

“I was on the air today and we discussed the “Postcard Caper”... had a few call-ins and you are to be commended for all that you do for our American veterans,” Sahno told Schlatter. “In this case, we put all the pieces of the puzzle together for a “happy ending” story!”

Governor vetoes Rim Country lawmakers’ bills From page 1A and predicted the federal government would go to court to avoid making the transfer.

Rep. Brenda Barton’s HB 2318 would have allowed Arizona to join with Utah and other western states to set up a compact to dispute federal jurisdiction over federal lands. Utah approved a similar bill last year and set aside $4 million to sue the federal government.

Thorpe and Barton want to file a class action suit to renounce the terms of Arizona’s statehood and go to court to gain control of federal lands.

The effort represents a more sophisticated revival of the Sagebrush Rebellion. It hit a high water mark this year when the U.S. Senate voted 51 to 48 in favor of a a resolution calling for the federal government to sell off or turn over most of the land it owns in the West.

Congress also voted 228 to 119 in favor of a non-binding resolution saying “the federal estate is far too large” and supporting policies that would return control to the states and localities.

However, Arizona voters in 2012 by a 68 percent margin rejected a measure that would have compelled the state to seek control of the federal lands.

Advocates for the state seizure of federal lands argue that the federal government has mismanaged its lands, limiting grazing, mining and logging and letting forests become fire-prone thickets. Moreover, because the feder-

Rep. Bob Thorpe, Rep. Brenda Barton and Gov. Doug Ducey clashed on efforts to control federal lands.

al government doesn’t pay property taxes, rural towns, counties and school districts struggle to raise money for public services when surrounded by non-taxpaying federal land.

Critics of the approach say the Forest Service spends $2 billion annually fighting wildfires and hundreds of millions on thinning projects. By contrast, the state spends virtually nothing to thin the 9 percent of the state it already owns. For instance, the fire that killed a hotshot crew two years ago burned almost entirely on state lands. Critics also note that the federal government has spent $71 billion since 1988 on land conservation and that in 2013 visits to federal lands and parks generated 407 million visits and contributed $41 billion to local economies, supporting 355,000 jobs. The federal holdings also ensure low population densities and demands for public services in states like Arizona.

Gov. Ducey vetoed measures by both representatives, citing

the opposition by 68 percent of the state’s voters to the concept.

However, Ducey also signed SB 2658 to establish a study committee to look into setting up a study committee. The effort to split the difference and postponed action for more study has increasingly grown into a strategy for the governor. So he vetoed bills demanding immediate action, but softened the impact on the conservative element in his own party by setting up the study committee. He took the same approach on Common Core, vetoing bills mandating an immediate rejection of the national academic standards – but ordering the state Department of Education to review the standards and make adjustments.

The vetoes mark the end of a frustrating legislative session for both Thorpe and Barton.

Thorpe spent much of his effort on the various attempts to reject federal authority and seize control of federal land. It did win mention in several national pub-

lications as an example of the grassroots rebellion in the West against federal authority, but at the end of the session he had little to show for his efforts in terms of laws enacted. He also sponsored a bill that tweaked federal regulations by giving business owners the right to bar service animals, like guide dogs for the blind. That bill died in his very own committee when advocates for the disabled responded with outrage.

Meanwhile, Rep. Barton spent lots of time getting two measures through the process, only to see them die in the closing hours of the session or to earn a veto.

One would have forced counties and cities to allow people with concealed carry permits to bring guns into public buildings unless the town provided guards and metal detectors. The second would have set a different standard for animal cruelty and for investigating allegations on farms, ranches and slaughterhouses than for pet owners.

The Payson Chapter of Amnesty International will present its annual film festival Saturday, April 25. This year’s theme is “Environmental Rights are Human Rights!” and features an afternoon of documentary film shorts, conversation and action.

The theme was selected in commemoration of Earth Day 2015. Members of the Payson Chapter of Amnesty International invite Rim residents and visitors to attend a free mini film festival exploring how human rights are inextricably linked to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment.

The Third Annual Human Rights Film Festival will be held from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Payson United Methodist Church, 414 N. Easy St. The event includes six thought-provoking short film clips addressing challenges to a sustainable environment, water as a human right and environmental links to cancer.

The High Country Xeriscape Council of Arizona, Payson Community Garden and other local groups will be participating in the event.

The film fest is open to everyone free of charge. Contributions will be accepted for the local food bank and/or donations will be accepted to support ongoing human rights work both locally and globally.

For more information, call Penny at (928) 978-1268 or email paysonamnesty@ gmail.com.

Join the Tonto Community Concert Association members at the final concert of the 2014-15 season with SAXsational at 7 p.m., Thursday, April 30 in the Payson High School Auditorium.

In 2008 Rob Verdi introduced audiences to an exciting new show entitled “Saxophobia.” The presentation offered audiences a glimpse at some of the most unusual saxophones ever manufactured and paid tribute to legendary jazz artists who contributed to the development of jazz and popularity of the saxophone.

SAXsational is Verdi’s latest musical project. He will explore a repertoire of classic melodies including swing and jazz standards, movie and television hits and pop favorites. Hear a tiny curved sopranino, the smallest sax, up to a tall 6-foot contrabass, the largest in the world and virtually everything in between.

Community Yard Sale The Community Yard Sale sponsored by Community Presbyterian Church, is from 7 a.m. to noon, Saturday, May 16. This is a great one-stop shopping experience featuring numerous vendors. Currently organizers are looking for vendors. Spaces fill up fast, so reserve a space today.

For just $10 for a 10-foot-by-19-foot space vendors can make a great profit from many shoppers coming to one site without all the hassle. The church will be open for restrooms and drinking fountain.

All proceeds from this event go to our Deacons Assistance Program that serves families in need in the Rim Country with financial assistance for utilities, rent, prescriptions, and our food pantry. We work closely with St. Vincent de Paul to offer our citizens help when needed six days a week.

The Community Yard Sale will be at 800 W. Main St. (corner of Oak and Main).

Reserve a space by calling the office at (928) 474-2059.

Fuel Reduction Benefit The Pine Strawberry Fuel Reduction program will have a fund-raising event from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday, May 16 at the Strawbeary Bear Restaurant in Strawberry.

The event features a barbecue, live music, raffle and art sale/auction, the FireWise trailer and one of the PS Fire Department’s engines.

The cost is $20 per person, which buys a barbecue rib dinner with fries and coleslaw.

Donations will be accepted from those unable to attend; mail them to PSFR, P.O. Box 67, Pine, AZ 85544. To help with the event as a volunteer or contribute something for the raffle or art items, contact Barbara Huber, (623) 910-0886.

lookback

Joyful weekend in Rim Country We’d be skipping through the irises of spring if we had time. But we’re too busy trying to figure out which delightful thing to do with ourselves this weekend.

Let’s see, we could go catch a free trout dinner in the Green Valley Lakes. No need to bring a pole, the Rim Country Optimist Club, the Payson Flycasters club, Gila Trout Unlimited Chapter 530, Payson Parks and Recreation Department, and Arizona Game and Fish Department have got that covered.

Not only will they provide free gear and let the whole family fish for free, they’ve got state-certified fishing instructors Randy Loman, Gary Bedsworth and Tom Herman on hand to give lessons, assisted by volunteers from the local clubs. The Payson Rotary will run the hot dog stand and Scoops will dish up dessert.

The annual event offers a wonderful chance to introduce kids to the joys of fishing — now that Game and Fish is each week stocking the East Verde plus Tonto, Haigler and Christopher Creeks.

Meanwhile, up in Pine the whole community is staging a celebration of the wealth of bike and hiking trails in the region — including some beautiful new trails built by the Pine-Strawberry Fuel Reduction Committee to provide both firebreaks and access for firefighters.

Organizers will lead a series of hikes on new trails and old. In addition, mountain bikers will form a group to enjoy some of the new trails — including stretches of the Fire on the Rim Mountain Bike Race routes. This popular event later this summer represents another brainstorm by the Fuel Reduction Committee to help protect the community from wildfire.

But don’t stop there, over at Steve Coury Ford, half the businesses in town will man booths all day celebrating and serving this community. The Fast and Furious 2015 Business Showcase will feature give-aways, food, drink, door prizes.

All of that’s in addition to the usual Little League games in Rumsey Park, fishing in Tonto Creek, testing the warmth of the water in the East Verde, strolling in the park, making friends at the dog park and maybe trying out a little pickleball.

So don’t let anyone tell you there’s nothing to do in Rim Country. And save us a seat. We’ll be there shortly — soon as we figure out what to do first.

Not so free speech We were delighted when Sen. Sylvia Allen’s SB 1172 died quietly without a full vote in the closing days of the frantic legislative session.

The bill would have threatened school administrators, teachers, board members and others with a $5,000 fine if they dared talk to the public in a way the bill’s authors didn’t like. The bill would have prohibited school officials from answering questions from the public or providing even basic information if they had any inkling the information might be used for some political purpose — like convincing voters to approve a school override.

Backers of the bill said they really just wanted to protect student information and prevent school officials from brainwashing students politically. But the bill didn’t limit itself to students, it said school employees “may not distribute written or electronic materials to influence the outcome of an election or to advocate support for or opposition to pending or proposed legislation.”

That sounds like an attempt to make sure teachers stand silent as the Legislature continues to slash education funding.

We remain baffled by the willingness of principled conservatives like Sen. Allen to support measures that infringe on basic rights. But we’re happy enough lawmakers saw through the flaws in this ham-fisted effort to let it die quietly.

• April 19, 1897: John J. McDermott of New York won the first Boston Marathon in a time of 2:55:10. Various routes had been considered before a measured distance of 24.5 miles from the Irvington Oval in Boston to Metcalf’s Mill in Ashland was selected.

The marathon’s distance was changed in 1908 to its current length of 26 miles 385 yards.

• April 16, 1943: Albert Hoffman, a Swiss chemist working at the Sandoz pharmaceutical research laboratory, accidentally consumes LSD-25, resulting in unusual sensations and hallucinations. Widespread use of the so-called mind-expanding drug began in the 1960s.

• April 18, 1983: The U.S. embassy in Beirut, Lebanon, is almost completely destroyed by a car-bomb explosion that kills 63 people, including the suicide bomber and 17 Americans.

The terrorist attack was carried out in protest of the U.S. military presence in Lebanon.

guestcomment

An epidemic of illegal dumping sites in Tonto National Forest James Clayton I’ve been a Forest Service volunteer for more than three years, focusing on removing trash from illegal dumping sites found in the Tonto National Forest.

Forest Service personnel and volunteers take hundreds and sometimes thousands of pounds of illegally dumped trash from Tonto on a regular basis.

Surprisingly, misguided out-of-town campers do not create these sites, but I believe local residents.

Yes that is right, this construction, landscaping and household trash is being dumped in the forest as though it were a landfill.

The very place we take our families to hike, picnic and play is being destroyed by friends and neighbors.

Unbelievably, the people dumping this trash do not make the connection between the health of the national forest and the very well-being of our region, town, local businesses and families.

A dirty/unhealthy forest can lead to fewer visitors and fewer dollars spent at local businesses. by

April 9 was such a bad day that it prompted me to write this letter.

In Crackerjack Meadow, a popular illegal dumping site about three miles north of Payson, the team found three dump sites containing so much household and landscape trash that we couldn’t fit it all in the back of a 16-foot trailer and the bed of our pickups.

There were numerous animal chewed trash bags containing a variety of things including: soiled stuffed toys, squirt guns, children’s sneakers, discarded clothing, used car parts, broken kitchen cabinets, bottles, pills and a dozen or so capped and uncapped hypodermic syringes.

If you were on a hike in the forest, you would not want your kids or dogs getting into this stuff. Unbelievably this is a common find in the Tonto, but this one soon became the worst ever seen when we found wadded up two American flags. To see our flag in that state was sad and disgusting.

After the cleanup, a few of us took them to the American Legion Post on State Route 260 and asked them if they could provide proper care

for them. Their response was an overwhelming, “Yes.” The intent of this letter is not to aggrandize the work that our volunteer teams do every week or shame those individuals that dumped the flags in the trash like so much worthless garbage.

Instead, consider this letter to be a warning cry from the forest.

The Tonto is swimming in residential waste.

It is simultaneously becoming a hazard to our town and our families. Expecting a small group of volunteers and Forest Service personnel to keep up with the vast amount of waste entering the forest is not an acceptable or sustainable solution.

If you dump trash in the forest, stop! Not just because it’s illegal, but for the sake of our town and families.

If you see illegal dumping, call (928) 474-1210 or the countywide toll-free number, (800) 3044452 ext. 8517.

VA committee, but I got results. Now they are looking into and investigating my husband’s complaints on a personal basis without having to file with the Phoenix VA. There is more to our story, and what complaints we filed.

The list goes on and on.

I feel that this newly appointed rep for the Phoenix VA is just a puppet and only in there to keep the vets quiet a little longer.

Good luck!

the Arizona Supreme Court to pay the schools this much-needed funding.

The Arizona Legislature has refused. They have opted to inflict further damage on our children by offering giveaways to corporations and tax cuts to the wealthy.

Their defense is to appeal the court decision and thereby cost the taxpayers more money.

The question arises, why have Rep. Brenda Barton, Sen. Sylvia Allen and Rep. Bob Thorpe continued to support these policies against our children?

It’s time to get answers. Our kids and schools deserve it.

Terrible delays at VA Editor: My husband is a Vietnam vet who served in the Navy. He was going to the VA in Los Angeles, Calif., which was the biggest joke ever! His clinic was in Bakersfield, Calif., which they would schedule an appointment just for a blood draw, in which the drive to get there was 40 miles one way. Any other procedures had to be done in Los Angeles, which was 150 miles — a 300-mile round trip.

We moved here to Payson, hoping to find better health care from the VA, but found out we both were dead wrong. It wasn’t any better.

The VA doctor he got to see when we first got here, he was good, but his hands were tied as everything had to be approved first through the VA office.

A routine eye exam was scheduled for him down at the Phoenix VA, which was actually his first eye exam. During the exam, they found blocked blood vessels in his left eye, which indicated blocked arteries. It took more than two years for him to be seen for the blocked arteries.

Believe it or not. they didn’t call him in until this scandal started taking place. That’s when the phone calls for appointments started coming in.

If it wasn’t for the scandal ... I believe my husband still would be waiting.

I had enough of the crap from the VA and took it upon myself to apply for Medicaid for my husband, and he got it. Now he can see private doctors up here in Payson without having to even deal with the VA anymore. He’s up to date on all his surgeries for all blocked arteries. No problem getting his medications and appointments are quick when it’s urgent.

I really feel my husband would have died if he stayed any longer with the VA, and it’s a quick choice I had to make in order to save his life.

Sad thing is, I had to take my complaint all the way to Bernie Sanders who is head of the

Soroptimists say thanks Editor: Members of Soroptimist International of Zane Grey Country thank all the people in our community who continue to support our See’s Candy fundraiser.

Because of your generosity, we are able to provide scholarships and grants to our young women in high school, women returning to the workforce, and to Rim Country Literacy.

We are an organization that loves to raise money and give it away to benefit our community as a whole.

Lawmakers thwart voters Editor: In November of 2000, Arizona citizens passed Prop. 301 which allowed a .6 percent increase in the sales tax to be directed to schools to offset rising costs. Since 2009, the Arizona Legislature has thwarted the desires of the citizens of Arizona by refusing to use these dedicated funds for education.

After a five-year battle the schools won their court battle and the Legislature was ordered by

School gag order failed Editor: I was happy to hear that SB 1172 did not pass in spite of support by both Sylvia Allen and Bob Thorpe.

The bill would have been a gag order on public school personnel, not even allowing them to report about the condition of the school.

It makes me wonder what these legislators were thinking in the first place, as the bill was a clear violation of the First Amendment.

Then again, if there was nothing to hide, or to be ashamed of, they would have nothing to fear from allowing school employees to speak out.

Sadly, that is not the case, as our public schools are indeed suffering from budget cuts implemented by these very legislators.

Paintings by Gila Community College Dean Pam Butterfield are on display at Dimi Espresso, 612 N. Beeline Highway in the Swiss Village Shops.

GCC dean shows off artistic side by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

Show up at the Dimi Espresso for a beverage and stay to enjoy the art on the walls done by Gila Community College Dean Pam Butterfield.

In a way, it’s her coming out as an artist. Up until now, the professional dean has kept her artistic talent under wraps from many of those who have worked for her, including Dimi Espresso owner Tom Plets.

“It surprised me,” he said. “She’s all business when she’s on campus.”

At her first art show on Thursday, April 2, Butterfield explained that prior to the year 2000, she had no idea she could even express her creativity.

In that year, she saw an article in the magazine Art in America inviting beginning creators to British Columbia for a class.

“So I flew to Juno and then took a small plane over a glacier to this little town in B.C.,” said Butterfield. “The first thing the instructor had me do was draw a fire with a red crayon.”

Then Butterfield, along with 20 other participants wrote poems and explored colors.

From there, she discovered oil sticks and then oil paints.

Now, she’s decided painting will be her post retirement career.

Pam Butterfield discovered her artistic side at a class in British Columbia.

“This is year one of a five-year plan,” she said.

Already, the budding artist has sold two of her pieces. She also has a website with more information: http://www.butterfield.gallery/home#.VS64 saZLc20.

Citizens urged to weigh in on 260 project by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

Plans to widen the last section of Highway 260 outside of Star Valley are at least six years out under the Arizona Department of Transportation’s current plan.

The $45 million project would widen several miles of the Lion Springs section, making travel from Payson to the top of the Mogollon Rim four lanes throughout.

ADOT has pushed the final widening project back for several years now citing budget issues.

The project is currently on the table to start in 2025, although it could face delays again if ADOT and the state don’t come up with new funding sources.

At a chamber luncheon last week, Kathy Boyle, ADOT’s public affairs manager, said limited funding amid growing statewide transportation needs continues pose a challenge. The state gas tax is currently 18 cents per gallon, without an increase in 20 years.

ADOT’s current pot of money is $890 million a year, of which $570 million is unrestricted. Half of that money goes to Maricopa and Pima counties, where voters passed half-cent sales taxes to fund projects. Maintenance and modernization projects takes up most of the rest, with just $25 million left for new roadways, like Lion Springs, she said.

While she said State Routes 87 and 260 support tourism, the state just does not have the money to fund the project currently.

ADOT, however, is currently accepting public comments for the 2016-2020 Transportation

Facilities Construction Program, which details how ADOT invests in future transportation projects. The program is updated each year for the subsequent five-year period.

Getting ADOT to fund Lion Springs may be a tough sell with the agency focusing heavily on preserving existing roadways, but residents are encouraged to weigh in.

The public comment period for the 2016-2020 Tentative Five-Year Program began last month and continues though May. Review the plan and submit comments at azdot. gov/fiveyearplan.

Boyle said the state must protect its $20 billion investment in roads, or face costs as high as $200 billion to replace the current existing highway system if it fell into disrepair.

Other area projects on ADOT’s back burner include plans to re-open the Mazatzal rest area south of town, closed for funding and sewer issues.

The rest area needs work on the septic system.

ADOT currently has $495,000 worth of design work on the project scheduled for fiscal year 2019. On State Route 260, ADOT has $3 million for bridge work and $750,000 for designing a wider shoulder from the Rim Road to Gibson Road.

Alvin Stumo, Prescott district engineer, said he hopes something changes and the Lion Springs section can happen sooner, but citizens need to weigh in on the five-year plan.

Gila County Supervisor Tommie Martin said state lawmakers need to get the political courage to raise the gas tax. Arizona currently has the 43rd lowest gas tax in the country with the national average at around 50 cents.

Family must defeat denial before they can fight addiction From page 1A

meeting generated so much feedback, the PPD is holding a follow-up event Tuesday, April 21 at 7 p.m. in town hall, 303 N. Beeline Highway.

This meeting will focus on treatment options, community resources for addicts and their families and new ways for the community to reduce the rising toll of drug addiction that touches countless families, said Police Chief Don Engler.

The Smiths decided to break the silence and shame of addiction.

times — although drugs like meth set their hooks in the brain much more quickly — especially in the vulnerable, developing brains of teens.

However, the research has also revealed an array of risk factors that make teens especially vulnerable — as well as highlighting changes in behavior and characteristics that can offer parents early warning signs.

One of the most subtle, important and persistent risk factors remains low self-esteem, which studies show make teens much more vulnerable to depression, eating disorders and other problems associated with drug use.

One nine-year study showed that children who showed signs of low self-esteem at 11 had a significantly greater chance of both experimenting with drugs and becoming addicted than children who felt better about themselves.

Silence lets addiction win

“I want to get this out and reach out and maybe help someone or inspire someone,” Kendal said. “We often want to keep quiet, but that is letting the addiction win.”

Drugs find their way into a person’s life in countless ways.

Some get hooked on prescription painkillers after sustaining an injury, others try them to fit in with their peers and others start with alcohol, then inch into drugs like marijuana, meth and heroin.

For Kendal, who has battled low self-esteem since the schoolyard days when girls made fun of her weight, drugs offered a way to gain acceptance.

Researchers have found a correlation between the use of drugs and low self-esteem in adolescents. One study found the higher a teenaged girl’s self-esteem, the lower the likelihood of drug abuse.

Using drugs at an early age often leads to addiction. In fact, in 97 percent of cases, addiction originates with substance use before the age of 21, when the brain is still developing and so vulnerable to the effects of drugs, according to the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Colombia University.

“If you’re a parent of a young child and you notice that the child has very low self-esteem,

Mother missed warning signs

Looking back, Beth says she didn’t understand the warning signs that appeared when Kendal was just a girl — but her daughter’s struggle with depression and low self-esteem offered the first, tragically overlooked clues.

Teased from second grade on because of her early development and beauty, Kendal felt hopeless and depressed.

With drugs came acceptance and validation from peers and a way to numb the pain of rejection.

Beth says she kicks herself every day that she didn’t step in earlier and help her daughter.

Instead of bolstering her esteem, her mother’s efforts to make her life easier and prevent any pain actually fostered dependence and a sense of helplessness.

Beth and Kendal were among those who recently spoke out at a heroin meeting put on by the Payson Police Department. The

that should be a warning signal that this child needs some attention or perhaps professional counseling,” said a researcher in a Florida State University study.

Beth wishes now she had understood the link between depression and anxiety and substance abuse.

She herself used when she was younger, but overcame her addictions quickly. She took care to raise her daughters in a good home where alcohol abuse was not present and she rarely fought with her spouse.

But Beth says she did everything for Kendal, from making her bed in the morning to lying for her to get her out of slumber parties.

Parents were enablers

“We enabled her,” she said.

“I taught her poor life skills and I blame myself for some of this.”

But Kendal’s low self-esteem started with childhood teasing.

At 14, she attended her first party and in one night tried alcohol and marijuana.

She continued to party every weekend, preferring the parties to school where she felt isolated and rejected.

Fresh off a breakup with her boyfriend at 16, Kendal met a 23-year-old man. Much later, she discovered he was one of the biggest drug dealers in town.

He introduced her to pills, Oxycodone and other painkillers. Eventually, he got her to try heroin. It was easy. Kendal didn’t think much of herself and didn’t have much going on. Her boyfriend and drugs dominated her life and her thinking.

Beth now knows she should have done more to keep Kendal active and in school. Because of the bullying, Beth didn’t push her to get involved with other kids.

Now, Beth wishes she had guided Kendal into an activity, whether it was theater or sports.

“If you have a child with low self-esteem issues, you should address that. I regret it every day for not getting her into the proper counseling when she was young,” Beth said.

Kendal’s use of drugs escalated, but her mother remained in the dark. Kendal’s drug dealing boyfriend shot her up with heroin and one night almost killed her by injecting her with a huge dose of heroin while she slept.

Beth knew Kendal’s boyfriend was a user, but remained in denial for a long time that Kendal could be using too.

At 18, Kendal went through her first drug detox.

By then, Beth knew her daughter had a terrible problem. The signs were visible all over her body. She had lost weight, had sunken eyes and her color was off.

As Kendal struggled to get back on track, she met a counselor at a drug rehabilitation program and was instantly attracted.

They started dating and Kendal noticed he made frequent trips to the bathroom.

She realized he was using. But instead of breaking up with him for her own sobriety, she joined in.

“I was like, ‘Let’s do it together, why aren’t you sharing?’” she said. “That was my sick mind.

‘Why aren’t you doing it with me, why are you hiding this from me?’

On the outside, Kendal looked like she had everything, but low self-esteem rooted in bullying and depression set her up for years of heroin addiction.

So, we started doing it together.”

They moved into a Valley apartment and got high every day. He got fired from his job for using and Kendal for stealing money out of the register.

When their dealer got evicted, they invited him into their apartment.

Police raided her home

Police raided the home and arrested the dealer, but Kendal managed to escape arrest.

She went back to detox and returned to Payson to get well.

But instead of focusing on sobriety, Kendal moved back in with another friend who was selling drugs. She got pregnant and by the time she realized she was pregnant, the baby was also hooked on heroin.

Although her mother checked her into a hospital that gave her methadone to protect the baby and prevent life-threatening withdrawals, Kendal remained out of control in a way she says horrifies her now. She secretly sold the methadone and kept using heroin. At six months pregnant, she wound up in jail. That finally reached her. She gave up heroin and her daughter was born healthy.

Child Protective Services investigated her, but let her keep the baby when she showed she was attending meetings, not using drugs and working to straighten her life out.

But heroin can overwhelm the best of intentions once it takes root. When she suffered another

heartbreak, Kendal returned to the drug.

After several failed attempts at short-term rehab programs, Kendal found her way to Prescott, with its wealth of longer-term programs. Even there, she failed one placement before getting the treatment she needed.

“It was very strict, almost militaristic,” she said of the Canyon Crossing rehab program.

Although she has not completed treatment, Kendal has been sober 72 days today.

On Monday, a judge will likely sentence Kendal to prison for violating probation months ago.

Kendal hopes to pick up in the program where she left off.

Beth says the current, longterm treatment program has finally started to focus on the

life skills Kendal never acquired.

Things like getting a job, paying bills and working in the community will all help build up Kendal’s self-esteem.

While she still has a long road to go, Kendal finally has perspective on why her life went so terribly wrong.

“If I had got counseling for teasing back then, it might have helped,” she said.

Instead, she dropped out of high school as a sophomore and turned to drugs for validation instead of healthy activities like sports or school.

Despite her months of sobriety, Kendal knows she’s still on shaky ground.

“Still, I love that I wake up today and that I don’t want to use.”

Self-esteem and teen drug use Low self-esteem increased relapse rate

Self-esteem played a key role in whether teenagers in drug treatment programs both avoided a relapse one year later and managed to cope with everyday social and emotional problems, like family conflicts, school and relationships with peers. Parents and teens filled out questionnaires. The scores on measurements of self-esteem accounted for 16 percent of the relapse rates and 25 percent of the difference in handling life problems. The study was published in the Journal of Substance Abuse.

Low scores raised risk of drug abuse

Researchers in New Zealand administered personality tests that measured self-esteem to a large sample of teenagers ages 9-13. They later resurveyed the teens to determine whether self-esteem affected the later development of problems, including drug use. They found low self-esteem significantly increased the risk of drug abuse, suicide, eating disorders and multiple other social problems. The research was published in the Journal of Adolescence.

Low scores dramatically raised addiction rate

Low self-esteem and peer approval at the age of 11 significantly raised the use of drug abuse by the age of 20, according to a nine-year study of a random sample of 872 boys by researchers from Florida State University. They found children with very low self-esteem were 1.6 times more likely to become drug dependent. The low self-esteem had a strong impact on very early drug use, which increases the odds of eventual drug addiction 18-fold. By the time they hit 20, 64 percent had used drugs and 10 percent had become dependent.

Array of studies support findings

The National Association for Self Esteem website posted an array of studies linking self-esteem and drug use including: • Low self-esteem either causes or contributes to neurosis, anxiety, defensiveness, and ultimately alcohol and drug abuse. Guidepost.

• The use of drugs is often used to compensate for low self-esteem and feelings of a lack of control over one’s life. Prevention of Drug and Alcohol Abuse.

• A program designed to increase self-esteem significantly changed the attitudes of students regarding their alcohol and drug use.

Great Rim Country events await It looks like it’s going to be another great family oriented activity weekend here in the Rim Country. Two fun events for all ages are scheduled for tomorrow, this Saturday.

Business Showcase

From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the Rim Country Regional Chamber of Commerce will host its annual Business Showcase, this year titled “Fast and Furious of Rim Country.” For the first time, the event will be held at Steve Coury Ford in beautiful downtown Star Valley.

This is a great opportunity to meet a number of area chamber member businesses that endorse dj’s music each other and support our trivia communities. On hand will be a whole host of entrepreneurs that help our Rim Country thrive. business “Thirty-five booths will be located under the big tent in the parking lot, with an additional nine businesses outside. Plus, DJ Craig inside the showroom, there will be student organization booths and Native Grill will have delicious food available. Each of our participating members will be giving away raffle prizes, with an iPad Air grand prize to be drawn for some lucky person,” said Ana Gutowski, chief executive officer for the chamber.

And, there will be games and other things for the children to enjoy during the day.

“We know that children love face painting, so that will be available throughout the day. Outside of the big tent there will be a racetrack course that the kids can maneuver through as they drive battery-operated cars, sponsored by Payson Care Center,” Gutowski said.

Also just outside of the big tent, Ann and I will be entertaining with our DJ music from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., at which time the Fossil Creek Band will take over until 4 p.m.

Perhaps the highlight of the day will come early. At 10:15 a.m. Native Air will whoosh down from the heavens into the parking lot, delivering Payson Mayor Kenny Evans and his Star Valley counterpart, Ronnie McDaniel

to the big event.

Family Fishing Festival

The annual Family Fishing Festival, sponsored by the Payson Optimist Club, Arizona Game and Fish, the Payson Flycasters, Trout Unlimited Chapter 530 and Payson Parks and Recreation Department, will be held tomorrow from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. at Green Valley Park.

The lake’s shores will be lined with moms and dads, grandmas and grandpas and a whole slew of wide-eyed, beaming-with-excitement youngsters, each hoping to land a rainbow trout lurking just below the water’s surface.

It’s a very special event in the park — one that you only need to show up to in order to have a great time. For the Saturday festival only, no fishing license for anyone is required and, if you don’t have your own, fishing poles and bait will be provided.

Along with the very seasonable weather that is predicted for the festival, Fred the DJ will be spinning great music, the Payson Rotary Club Foundation will be grilling hamburgers and hot dogs and Scoops Ice Cream & Espresso will be on hand to satisfy your sweet tooth.

As always, the Optimist Club will be holding its popular silent auction.

And the really good news is that Green Valley’s lakes are scheduled to be stocked tonight. Optimist Club president Jim Tye told me, “In addition to Game and Fish’s regular every other week stocking, the Optimist Club purchased another 100 pounds of trout to be placed into the lakes on Friday night, so the little ones will have a chance to pull in a whopper.”

Now in its ninth year, the fishing festival has really become a family tradition for many Payson families.

This week’s question

Can you name the country-folk-rock group that produced the 1987 No. 1 single “Fishin’ in the Dark”?

This Long Beach, Calif. five-member band formed in 1965 and is still producing new music today. The group has landed 11 hits on the pop-rock charts and 32 on the country charts. Along with “Fishin’ in the Dark,” its

top hits were “Mr. Bojangles” (1971), “Long Hard Road (The Sharecropper’s Dream)” (1984) and “Modern Day Romance” (1985).

Is this fishin’ group: A) The Eagles, B) The Oak Ridge Boys, C) Chicago, or D) The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band?

Last week’s question

Last week’s music question asked if you could name the country-western group that recorded the 1941 song “Cool Water,” a song that didn’t chart that year, but later would in 1947, reaching the Top-10 that year and again 18 months later on re-release.

In addition to the group’s music recording career, their music was used in numerous films and television shows. They recorded songs for the John Ford movies “Wagon Master” in 1949 and “Rio Grande” in 1950 and performed the theme song for the John Ford classic “The Searcher” in 1956. Their hit song “Tumbling Tumbleweeds” was used in the Coen Brothers film “The Big Lebowski” in 1998.

Among the group’s most popular hits were “Star and Stripes on Iwo Jima,” “Teardrops in My Heart” and “Blue Shadows on the Trail.”

The choices to last week’s question were: A) The Carter Family, B) Sons of the Pioneers, C) Bill Monroe and his Blue Grass Boys, and D) The Delmore Brothers.

The correct answer was the Sons of the Pioneers.

The Carter Family’s recording career spanned six decades, from the late-1920s through the early-1970s. Among their most popular hits were their early recordings “Wildwood Flower” and “Can the Circle be Unbroken.” Bill Monroe and his Bluegrass Boys charted hits from the mid-1940s through the late-1950s, with their songs “Kentucky Waltz” and “Footprints in the Snow” reaching the Top-10. The singer-guitarists-fiddle playing Delmore Brothers’ brief recording career was cut short by the untimely death of Rabon in 1952. The brothers’ top songs were their 1949 hits “Freight Train Boogie” and chart-topping “Blues Stay Away From Me.” Have a great Rim Country week!

aroundthe rim Good times and good food for a good cause Pine Strawberry Fuel Reduction Committee members are gearing up for a benefit dinner from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday, May 16 at the Strawbeary Bear Restaurant in Strawberry. The day will be highlighted by live music, raffles, art sales, auctions, the Firewise trailer and a PSFD fire engine.

The dinner includes barbecued ribs, fries and coleslaw. Tickets are $20 and all proceeds benefit the committee’s fuel reduction brush pickup program.

In May 2014 a similar dinner held at the restaurant was a huge hit, serving 200 dinners and raising, after expenses, more than $10,000.

The husband and wife duo of Chuck and Barbara Casey, aka Trouble in Paradise, provided music for the dinner, but it was hinted at a recent FRC meeting, that Chuck Casey was trying to secure even more musical entertainment for the upcoming benefit.

The amount earned at 2014 dinner helped fund one round of brush pickups last summer in Pine and Strawberry.

Currently the committee is about $15,000 short of what is needed for the 2015 pickup.

The pickups are widely considered crucial to protecting the two mountain hamlets from a catastrophic wildfire.

For benefit information, to volunteer or provide raffle/art items call Barbara Huber at (623) 910-0886.

Milo’s quest to save her knows no bounds and with some unexpected help, he finds his way back to her in more than one way.

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

The advice from library manager Becky Waer is for children to arrive early because fire codes limit the number who can be in the library and in the past some have been turned away. Since Pine Strawberry School students will be dismissed at 11:30 a.m., April 29 for teacher in-service training, students will be free to attend the movie.

Sunflower delays

Those planning on driving to the Valley before April 24 should plan on delays up to 25 minutes between mileposts 223 and 229 on the Beeline just north of Sunflower.

Traffic in both directions will be using the northbound lanes making it a two-lane road through the construction.

Drivers are asked to comply with the reduced speed limit and be alert for construction equipment and workers.

The $6.2 million safety project, which began in October, includes a new northbound truck escape and reconstruction of a curve.

The construction is expected to be completed by Memorial Day. Friends, indeed

Friends of Pine Library will gather at 1 p.m., Monday, April 27 in the activity center.

Local artist Bill Ahrendt will be the special guest speaking on the “Art of Historical Events and the West.”

Library Friends meetings are open to the public and usually draw attention-grabbing special guests speaking on a variety of subjects of interest to local residents.

A Friends meeting nine years ago centering on the history of the Isabelle Hunt Memorial Library is remembered as one of the most enlightening, especially for newcomers.

Those attending learned that Isabelle Hunt was a longtime teacher at Pine School who lobbied for Pine and Strawberry, even though very small, to have a library. She died in 1973 and a year later an organizational meeting was held to build a library.

After a board of trustees was elected, it was decided a new library would be named after Hunt.

Ralph and Velma Fuller donated a cabin which became the original home of the library.

Today that library, which opened on Aug. 12, 1974 with 2,600 books, stands in Randall Park across from the community center.

After the original library opened, Library Friends and others held fundraising events to purchase more books.

But the library quickly outgrew the small cabin and a drive was started to raise the money for a new facility.

It wasn’t long before Congressman Eldon Rudd and the Gila County Board of Supervisors stepped up to help obtain a building grant of $42,000.

Alma Hunt, Isabelle’s husband, donated the land for the new library that opened in 1978 with more than 7,000 books.

Since the library’s humble origins it has grown to become the finest small town library in Arizona offering a myriad of services usually only available in large cities.

Trails Day tomorrow

After months of planning, Pine Strawberry Trails Day will become a reality tomorrow, drawing hikers, mountain bikers, equestrians and geocachers from around the state to the Rim Country.

Trails Day organizer Maureen Walsh has scheduled a number of guided hikes including a birding outing guided by Tom Conlin (8 a.m. to 10 a.m.), Joyce Bittner’s llama hike (9 a.m. to 11 a.m.), Jim and Windy Quinton’s 3.5-mile Arizona Trail trek over Bradshaw Meadow (9 a.m. to 11 a.m.), the Rick Heffernon-led Strawberry to Pine hike (10:30 a.m. to noon) and biking the Bearfoot Trail with Roland Maier (10 a.m. to noon).

In addition to the hikes, the event will feature information booths, raffles and demonstrations from the U.S. Forest Service, Arizona Trail volunteers, Payson Rimstones and geocaching groups.

Hikes and activities begin at 8 a.m.

Saturday, April 18 at the Pine Ramada.

Call Walsh at (928) 978-1086 for more information.

Tonto Village waking up after long winter’s sleep

Tonto Village is starting to wake up after a long winter’s sleep. Maybe it’s because the weather has been so warm — the trees are all budding out and the lilacs and irises are blooming, along with the tulips and daffodils as well as a few forsythia bushes with their gorgeous yellow flowers.

I remember when I was young back in upstate New York —- the forsythia bush was one of the few bushes that bloomed around Mother’s Day. I remember picking those yellow flowers since my Mom’s favorite flowers were yellow. She loved yellow roses, but those were out of the question for a young girl, so forsythia was the best I could give her for Mother’s Day. I remember her reaction that day; she made me feel like that was the best gift I could give her. Memories are so precious.

Eileen is now going through physical therapy in Flagstaff and she hopes to be home in a few more weeks. The Divas miss you, Eileen, hurry up and get well.

Speaking of the Domino Divas, our favorite mascot Jake the hound dog did not visit last Wednesday afternoon. The ladies called for him and even howled a bit too, but to no avail. I spoke with the owner this week and I told her about Jake visiting with the ladies and how excited he gets to see everyone, he goes to each of the ladies and waits for a pat on the head and even howls a bit which the ladies just adore. Jake knows that he will be given doggie bones for a treat so he sits very patiently waiting for his treat. The ladies look forward to seeing Jake every week.

The owner has named Jake the “mayor of the Tonto Village dogs.”

As for Jake’s secret … he is a daddy. Jake has a son who sometimes checks out the Village with him, but Jake keeps him in line and lets him know who is in charge. Jake’s son is named “Barack.” Barack is a little moody and is not as friendly as Jake, he will run from everyone, but Jake keeps him in line.

There will be many more exciting events in the Village over the summer, if you have any news about events in any of the communities up the Control Road, let me know, you can email me at janet_snydr2001@yahoo.com or phone me at (928) 478-9935.

A perfect marriage is a loving, caring partnership - Part 2 Last week I told you a little about our marriage and why it has been so great. The reason is simple, but profound: When two people are truly in love they focus on doing everything they can for each other. That’s how our marriage has been, and the result is that each of us has been filled with the joy of giving for 55 long, happy years.

What fun we’ve had together!

If you came over to our little place in Pine you’d find it filled with happy memories. Lolly and I are so different in so many ways, and yet those differences are part of what has made our life together so perfect. We’re like the Chinese Yin and Yang symbol, where opposites form a perfect whole.

I’m willing to bet that if you were to ask someone who knows to describe the way we have done things your turn around our little house they would answer with one word: together. And it’s true. I’ll use our front room as an example.

Tom Garrett Our front room was originally a useless front porch, which was luckily under the roof. What made it useless is that it was part of the original slab, but it was only covered by the same overhang as any other part. As a result both rain and snow blew in. On top of that, it was deeply shaded, so it was cold and damp year-round.

We never used it.

Two windows opened onto the 28-foot long front porch, a 6-foot wide one opening into the living room, and small 3-foot-by-4-foot one opening into the bedroom from the darkest end of the porch.

We were in the bedroom one day, celebrating the fact that I had changed the closet to double hanging instead of single. Few things are long enough to hang from the shelf to the floor, so doing that basically doubled the width of the closet. It was a nice improvement, but still inadequate.

Looking at the useless window facing the inside end of a dark front porch, I suddenly smiled, looked at Lolly and said, “Hey! Take a look at your walk-in closet.”

“Huh?” A month later on a nasty, wet, cold November day, Lolly kept refusing to go inside and keep warm. She insisted on helping me build our new front room. One end of the once gloomy old front porch was already a brightly lighted 8-foot-by-8-foot walk-in closet with tons of hanging space and shelves and a tall, built-in chest of drawers.

“It’s too cold out here for you,” I told Lolly that day as we were working on the front room You know what she said? I’ll never forget it. “I have my love to keep me warm.”

Well, we got the room enclosed that day, and two weeks later we finally had central heat installed in the house, with registers in every room, including the new front room and the walk-in closet.

The front room is shorter than it would have been without that walk-in, but have you ever seen the smile on a woman’s face when she walks into her very own walkin closet?

It’s a wonderful sight to behold.

That’s the way our entire marriage has been. One day I happened to mention that the mascot at my new school was a falcon.

On the day my students arrived, atop a cabinet in one corner of the room sat a hand-crafted and beautifully painted ceramic falcon. My whole department went crazy over it. And you should have heard the kids!

It may have helped, of course, that a few years earlier Lolly mentioned how nice it would be if she had a kiln of her own so she wouldn’t have to go to town to fire her creations. On Christmas Day that year I took her out in the garage and showed her own brand-new kiln. What a great day!

One sentence summarizes our marriage — It is more blessed to give than to receive.

More fun too!

Payson Roundup LOCAL Friday, April 17, 2015

Exodus of principals, teachers continues Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

At the April 13 Payson Unified School District board meeting, more names appeared on the agenda as separations from the district.

Chief among them, Will Dunman, principal of Julia Randall Elementary.

During the Parent University on April 11, Dunman told the audience that he will be the assistant director in the Queen Creek School District in the Valley.

His wife, Lisa, has also resigned as a Special Education teacher.

While Dunman’s resignation means the district has lost three of its four principals, Monday’s meeting also ushered in a new

principal, Gail Milton, who will take over the reins for Payson Elementary School.

Milton hails from Tucson where she served as a principal.

During the meeting, Milton talked a little about her background.

“My husband was in the Air Force for 20 years,” she said. “Now the joke is that he’s following me around.”

She and her husband have three grown children. She said she decided to make education her second career after working as a stay-at-home mom.

“Being with the little ones, that is where they start, that’s important,” she said.

Milton said she very much appreciates the opportunity to move to Payson to serve as the PES principal.

Wyman said the selection committee was very impressed with her credentials.

Yet as Wyman had predicted, many more teachers have decided to leave Payson, including: • Donna Haught, former PES principal and most recently a JRE 5th-grade teacher • Ross Carpenter, Rim Country Middle School 6th-grade teacher • Louis Crabtree, Payson High School Spanish teacher • Victoria Ladewski, PES 1st-grade teacher • Nancy Wright, PES 1st-grade teacher Wyman said he has received many applications and plans on having a full staff by the time school starts in July.

Take a hike — on a Pine-Strawberry Trail by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

Spring is in the air and it’s time to shake the cabin dust off and take a hike.

But where?

How about in Pine and Strawberry where local residents have spent the last few years building beautiful trails in the hills around the two hamlets.

Each year, the communities that sit in the middle of the Arizona Trail host Trails Day with numerous planned hikes, booths with information, a raffle and demonstrations.

This Saturday, April 18, meet at the Pine Ramada to take a brisk 8 a.m. hike to look for permanent and migratory birds. The hike lasts for two hours and is an easy hike.

If starting a little later sounds better, two hikes are available at 9 a.m.

Joyce Bitner from the Ranch at Fossil Creek will lead a moderate three-mile hike with her llamas. The hike ends at 11 a.m.

These critters serve as excellent pack animals as their soft, padded feet don’t tear up trails as the hooves of horses and mules do.

If hiking with humans sounds more appealing, two locals, Windy and Jim will lead a moderate three-anda-half-mile hike along the Arizona Trail to Bradshaw Meadow.

Their hike ends at 11 a.m.

The ride will take two hours and will go through the tall pines crossing Pine Creek.

At 10:30, the final hike of the day will show off the improvements to the Strawberry to Pine Trail and identify a variety of trees in the area.

Many parts of the Strawberry to Pine Trail are used for the Fire on the Rim Mountain Bike Race.

Unfortunately, like many trails in the area, the original builders used it as a wagon road. The trail had steep pitches and often went straight up the fall line. This caused much erosion.

The improvements should fix many of those problems and make the hike easier to enjoy.

After a day of hiking, enjoy a picnic or head on over to the Pine Deli, Sidewinder Bar, That Brewery or Randall House for a meal.

For more information, contact Maureen Walsh at (928) 978-1086.

(2015) Judy Nims, 61, passed away April 11, 2015 at Rim Country Health.

She was well known in the community, as she lived in Payson for 29 years.

She was loved by all her AZ Mentor Family and her Gila County Public Fiduciary.

She will be greatly missed by all.

Her graveside services will be at 11 a.m., Thursday, April 23 at Mountain Meadows Cemetery in Round Valley.

Ronald Victor Groshelle (1938-2015)

Lifetime success story of Ronald Groshelle Ronald Victor Groshelle was born in Billings, Mont. May 6, 1938 to Ruth A. Maxwell and Victor D. Groshelle.

Ron has three brothers: Ronnie and Gene who have passed, and Roger, who resides in Montana; and a sister, Patricia, who resides in California.

He married Jeanette Ann Groshelle on Aug. 24, 1961. His children are Marla Spriggs, who resides in Washington, and Michael Groshelle who resides in Wyoming. Ron served in the Army Reserves from 1960 to 1966. He had careers in music, electronics and real estate.

Ron and his wife, Jeanette, lived in Phoenix and later in life moved to Payson, Ariz. until her passing in November 2009. He then moved to Anacortes, Wash. to be with this daughter and sonin-law, Brian. During this time he found Eddie (Yorkie) and began a tremendous friendship and special loving bond together.

“When Dad was in the hospital or not feeling well, Eddie was at his side snuggling next to him even to the end. He was a very special father, husband and a friend to many. His endless smile will be missed,” writes his family.

Ron will be placed next to his wife, Jeanette, in Payson, Ariz.

Ron always had a smile on his face, a joke to tell and everyone that met him loved him. Ron’s passion was music from the start for him and a journey to the end, a story to be shared. Ron has played harmonica since the age of 10. He played piano and accordion professionally to work his way through college, but his greatest love has always been the harmonica. In 1970, Ron

formed a band called the Harmonichords.

The Harmonichords performed on television and at many of entertainment the spots and restaurants such as the Sun Bowl in Sun City, Ariz., The Arizona State Fair and “The Troubador” club in Los Angeles, Calif. to name a few. Their long-standing engagement at Legend City Entertainment Park in Arizona increased their popularity, and in honor of that fact, their first album was called “THE HARMONICHORDS AT LEGEND CITY.” During this time he met a lifelong friend and fellow harmonica player, Dick. Dick was one of the original harmonica players in the Harmonichords and then formed his own harmonica group called “The Nostalgics.” When Dad was ill, Dick would visit Dad and they would play the harmonica together; he also would play with them on stage from time to time.

No one will forget Ron’s version of “It Had To Be You.” Dad is now back performing and playing the harmonica in heaven.

The family wants to thank all of the wonderful caregivers and special friends who touched Ron’s life over the past few years.

He loved life and the people that cared for him. We invite all of his friends and family for a celebration of his life Saturday, April 18 at Messinger’s Funeral Home in Payson, Ariz. Viewing from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., followed by a graveside service at 1:30 at the Mountain Meadows Memorial Park.

Payson Roundup LOCAL Friday, April 17, 2015

Pioneering aviator put Payson on the map Rich Henry helps turn Payson Airport into vital community asset – and wore crazy costumes by

Marie Fasano

special to the roundup

Rich Henry and John King in their Cessna 210 skimmed the treetops near Milk Ranch Point on the Mogollon Rim. “Can you see those white-flecked rocks?” asked Rich, pointing to the meadow below.

Barely visible, the rocks looked like PHX –> 75.

Fascinated, he and his friend later hiked into the Coconino National Forest to investigate. They discovered a forgotten piece of history — airway markers that helped win World War II. In the 1940s, Arizona served as one of the prime training grounds for pilots. Lacking navigation equipment, the government placed waypoints on high spots all over the state.

This marker showed the way to Phoenix.

Rich convinced the U.S. Forest Service to let the Payson Pilots Association maintain this historical site. Now every August, near his birthday, Rich stages a “Paint the Rocks” campout.

That’s a typical Rich Henry story.

The tall, rugged pilot with the laughing blue eyes and winning smile loved exploring Rim Country from the air. His love affair with Payson and the Rim Country started in 1938, at the age of 10.

“My family bought 30 acres of the old CI Ranch out on Christopher Creek,” said Henry.

From then on, he would spend time each summer at the cabin fishing, hunting and running in the forest. The population of Payson numbered 300.

Rich laughs and says, “In those days, it took eight hours and two spare tires to get to Payson from Phoenix.”

In 1958, Rich decided to move back to the area he loved and start a business.

“Becky, my first wife, and I opened a trailer park in Christopher Creek complete with laundromat, grocery store and the Pecky Pine restaurant.”

Unfortunately, Rich says, “The road out from Payson was still gravel and there wasn’t enough traffic to make a decent living.”

So in 1960, Rich and his family moved back to Phoenix, took various jobs, became

a teacher at Phoenix Union Vocational High School in the automotive import auto class, and continued raising his children, Donna, Roxanne and Cindy.

In 1966 he earned his private pilot certificate and flew into Payson Airport for the first time. Opened in 1945, the airport had only a dirt strip runway. Rich stood gazing at the magnificent Mogollon Rim and his dream took root. So he became a flight instructor at the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport and earned his A&P, airframe and power plant mechanic license.

“In 1977, I got permission from the Payson Airport Board to start a charter service, Payson Air, at the airport,” says Henry. At that time, Gila County leased the airport from the U.S. Forest Service.

The Payson population had grown to 1,500.

Rich, with his second wife Doris, moved into a 35-foot-long trailer at the airport.

His responsibilities included keeping the airport open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, plus clearing the landing strip of snow. An old green school bus and a shed held his mechanic shop.

“I performed aircraft maintenance, gave flight instruction and did some charter and scenic flights, anything to make some money,” says Rich. He continued to enjoy serene morning flights over Rim Country. At that time there were two dirt runways.

Soon they realized that the visiting pilots would like to stop and get some breakfast. “Doris and I opened the airport restaurant on April Fool’s Day, 1978.”

The three-day-a-week restaurant was called the Crosswinds because the main runway 6-24 has crosswinds most of the day. Pilots would call their order in on the radio a few miles out. On landing, Doris greeted them at the restaurant with a hot breakfast and a piece of her luscious, homemade, fruit pie.

“The restaurant was the old town hall, a trailer 65-by-14. We added a room, put

At 85, Rich Henry still looks to the sky to tell his stories. He and his wife, Doris, opened the Crosswinds restaurant in the late 1970s at the Payson Airport. In the early years, one of Rich’s responsibilities at the airport was clearing the landing strip of snow. in a port-a-potty and cut openings in the trailer for windows. In the early days, Doris would bring the dirty dishes to our trailer to wash and dry. Later on, we got a 1,000-gallon water tank from Star Valley and pressurized it to deliver water,” said Henry.

They also provided security for the airport. One incident that Rich recalls was in 1984. The airport was closed at night. A car came in and stopped on the runway.

He came out of the trailer with his shotgun and told them to leave. When they did not, he called the sheriff.

As the sheriff came up the road, Rich turned around, “Doris, in her robe, her hair in curlers stood behind me holding a 1920 German Luger, cocked and ready to fire.”

When the car trunk was searched, they found an arsenal of weapons.

There were three businesses at the airport in the office trailer. Rich Henry handled flight training and maintenance.

Monroe Bishop had a Part 135 charter operation and Dr. Watson Lacy ran a helicopter operation.

For aviation fuel, Henry would drive to Phoenix and haul 10 55-gallon drums

of fuel to the airport. In 1980 he and Ed Glascock bought a used, slightly damaged, gasoline tanker from Yuma, repaired it and put it on the field.

While Rich worked as airport manager, he helped get the repaving and expansion of the runway from 4,900 feet to 5,500 feet, added taxiways, put in runway lights, and increased the number of tie downs for aircraft. With the help of the Payson Pilots Association and local residents, he built the concrete stairway from the restaurant to the airport.

As Rich tells it, “In the early 1980s, some locals and I started the Payson Pilots Association (PPA). We got a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation status to offer education for pilots, and fly air lifts to make money to give donations to the Meals on Wheels and other needy organizations.”

When the PPA had its parties, Rich and Doris showed up in wild costumes and danced all night. They always had music going and were ready for fun. They kept the airport and restaurant in operation until 1992.

For most of those years, Rich’s income came from the fuel, maintenance, flight instruction and flying. He was the airport

manager, controller, fueler, and maintenance man without a salary from the county.

Payson took over the lease of the airport in 1987 and two years later decided the council needed a full-time airport manager. After much wrangling by the town council, Rich says, “I was finally selected and for the next two years received a salary of $18,000 a year. After that, they decided not to pay the airport manager. So after 15 years, Doris and I closed our businesses at the airport and built a hangar with an apartment in the industrial park.”

Rich and other investors bought 120 acres, The Skypark Estates, to open an industrial park adjacent to the airport.

Today, several businesses in the park contribute to the economy of the town as well as the Payson Municipal Airport.

UPS flies in five days a week to accept and deliver packages. Native Air ambulance service and other medivac services bring patients to and from Payson. The biggest imprint, the U.S. Forest Service delivers their helitack group to the airport as one of its sites during fire season, April to July.

After Doris died, Rich continued his flight instruction, airplane maintenance and dancing. Doris’ daughters and their families live close by here in Payson.

Up until about a year ago Rich flew his students around Payson, answering questions from pilots about their airplane maintenance issues, and sharing his love of flight by giving rides to youngsters in the EAA Young Eagles program.

Now he still looks to the sky to tell his stories, but after a mild stroke, he does it from the ground. To this day, at 85, Rich maintains his dancing skills and you can catch him at local music venues in Payson.

If you care to hear more of the history of Payson Airport or airplanes, just knock on his door. Rich welcomes folks interested in aviation.

They needed good ... they got GREAT by

Keith Morris

roundup sports editor

Hunter Paul knew he needed a good performance when Brian Johnson handed him the baseball Monday night.

Instead, the sophomore delivered a great one.

Paul fired a four-hit shutout with eight strikeouts and went 2-for-3 at the plate to lead the offense as Payson beat No. 7 Lakeside Blue Ridge 3-0 at Payson for one of the biggest wins of the season for a young team featuring just three seniors.

“It feels great to come out and beat a No. 7 team,” Paul said. “I pitched well, was hitting my spots, it was just a fun game.”

Payson also beat the Yellow Jackets 5-2 in Lakeside in the Section 5 opener on March 26. But beating a good team once is one thing. Do it again, and now you’re talking.

So the Longhorns spoke loud and clear in the rematch, sending a message to the top teams in the state that they can play with anybody when they put it all together.

The Horns certainly had it all together on Monday.

Payson hit well to support Paul’s dominant performance on the mound. And the Longhorns pounced on a bit of wildness by a good pitcher to score three runs in the bottom of the third.

Coach Brian Young praised Paul’s pitching. “He worked ahead of hitters, he didn’t throw a lot of balls, he didn’t walk a guy until two outs in the seventh inning, he got ground balls and gave our defense a chance,” Payson’s coach said. “So he did a great job. That’s exactly what we want to see from our pitchers.”

The Jackets had chances to take control early as they led off both the first and second innings with singles. But the next batter hit into a double play both times.

“To start out with a couple of double plays was huge, it’s got to make Hunter feel good,” Young said. “We’ve struggled at times to play defense for him for some reason and tonight it all came together.”

Earlier this season, the Longhorns’ shut out much weaker teams from Alchesay and Holbrook. This time, they blanked the mighty Blue Ridge, which entered the game 14-6 overall and 9-3 in power points games. Blue Ridge dropped from No. 7 to No. 12 by Wednesday.

Payson, meanwhile, moved from No. 19 to 16 in the Division 3 rankings with a 7-6 record in those games. The game boosted the Longhorns’ chance of earning one of the 24 berths in the state tournament.

At one point in the fierce fight on Monday, Spencer Hall seemed ready to match Paul. But then Hall almost lost his

grip in the third inning. The Longhorns sent eight batters to the plate, pushing three runs across the plate to supply all the offense they’d need.

Jake Beeler reached on an error. Then a wild pitch hit Ruben Estrada and Paul singled. That loaded the bases with one out. Taran Sarnowski and Carl Adcock followed with run-scoring singles and Hunter Lane drew a walk to drive in the final run. The Jackets finally turned off the spigot with one of their three double plays.

Paul said the three runs allowed him to relax. “It gave me some cushion and was a big momentum booster. You go out there and you can kind of mix it up more and don’t have to worry about maybe giving up one run. It just makes you feel a lot better out there.”

Alas, this game did not count in the section standings. The Longhorns are 4-1 in the section with three games remaining.

Payson was scheduled to play Page on Thursday afternoon in the annual game at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick.

Then on Saturday they return home to take on No. 5 Cottonwood (9-1). The Longhorns’ final two home games feature Eagar Round Valley at 5 p.m. on Tuesday and then Show Low at 6 p.m. on April 24.

Payson closes the regular season with road games at Goodyear Estrella Foothills at 2 p.m. April 25 and with a section contest at Globe at 5 p.m.

April 29.

Paul said the Longhorns try to learn from their losses and move on. Prominent on the list of hard lessons was last week’s 13-12 heartbreaker at Winslow that could wind up costing the team a section championship.

“That was tough,” he said.

“We had a good couple of innings going there and then we kind of fell apart. But we come back and try and play hard, try and fix what we did in the last game then forget about those losses.”

Following that difficult defeat, the Longhorns hit the road for three nights, attending a Diamondbacks game before going 3-2 in the Goodyear Estrella Foothills Wolves Classic last ThursdaySaturday.

Young said he believes their experience in the tournament really benefited his players.

“I really like where we’re at coming out of our weekend tournament,” he said. “We invested a lot in our team and the guys spent time with each other and they’re really coming together and you’re seeing that team really build up together.

“They’re playing defense, they’re helping each other out, they’re out there for each other.”

Longhorns now sprint into epic home stretch by

Keith Morris

roundup sports editor

Payson 1, Blue Ridge 0

The Yellow Jackets didn’t give Arissa Paulson a chance to swing the bat the first time the teams met.

They probably shouldn’t have this time either.

The Payson junior on Monday crushed a pitch over the plate for a double off the left field foul pole to drive in the only run the state’s best Division 3 softball team needed in a 1-0 victory over visiting Blue Ridge.

Paulson protected that second-inning run for the rest of the game with her fifth no-hitter of the season, striking out 14 Jackets in improving to 19-1.

No. 1 Payson improved to 24-1 with its 19th consecutive victory.

Most of Payson’s previous 18 shutouts were of the blowout variety. This was different. This time the Yellow Jackets kept it close, but when you can’t score a run, you can’t win.

Blue Ridge got three runners on base thanks to one walk and two errors. But in the end provided the Longhorns with their third 1-0 game of the year. The others came during Payson’s Gracie Haught Classic. They had the same umpire in this game that they had in those contests.

“The umpire had a very, very wide, low strike zone, which we were expecting,” said Payson coach Curtis Johnson.

“We saw him in the Gracie Haught tournament and the same thing happened where it was very difficult for the batters, for their side, too, the batters struggled, as well.”

Payson won the first meeting with the Jackets 12-2 in a Section 5 game in Lakeside on March 26.

But Korey Heath limited the Longhorns to six hits in the rematch, which didn’t count in the section standings.

Payson has outscored opponents 194-

12 this season, so Johnson likes it when the team faces a tight game.

“It keeps us hungry and lets the girls know we’re still beatable and that we still have to improve and work on things,” he said. “In a one-run ball game, anything can happen and the next thing you know you’re down 2-1 and momentum shifts.

I don’t care if you’ve got a college team over here, you can’t stop the momentum.

You learn more in these types of games than you do when you run-rule somebody.”

Monday’s battle certainly had the feel of a state tournament match.

“It was a quite game,” Johnson said.

“We’ve had a lot of tight games, but we’ve always prevailed. That’s a very encouraging sign.”

It was another typically overpowering performance for Paulson. “She pitched great,” Johnson said.

Above, Aubrielle Paulson takes a giant final stride trying to beat the throw to first for an infield hit against Blue Ridge on Monday. At right, Brylee Hall tries to go from first to third on Arissa Paulson’s double that drove in the game’s only run.

He’s happy the Longhorns reached the plate early.

“Our whole philosophy is get the lead early and turn the ball over to Arissa and let her finish it,” he said.

The Yellow Jackets walked Arissa Paulson every time she came to the plate in the first meeting. So Johnson altered his batting order to try and prevent that on Monday, moving her from the No. 3 spot to leadoff. He also shifted clean-up batter Anilese Hayes up to No. 2.

Jewel Johnson led off the bottom of the second with a single and went to second on a dropped third strike, which left Brylee Hall at first. Then Paulson stepped up and drove Johnson home.

Hall was out trying to advance to third on

the hit but the damage was done.

The Yellow Jackets fell to 6-6 and No. 16 in the power rankings.

Track star does a chain saw massacre on season Accident ends dream of repeating as state D3 100-meter champion by

Keith Morris

roundup sports editor

Wyatt Chapman had just returned to action in a big way after a hamstring injury. At the Blue Ridge Invitational on April 10, the defending Division 3 state champion in the 100 meters participated in his first meet since suffering the injury on March 14.

He won the 100 in 11.42 seconds and helped secure the 4x100 win in 44.34, which was the fastest time by any Division 3 team this season before Chandler Seton Catholic topped it a day later.

He had plenty of time to cut his time and defend his 100 title in next month’s state meet.

Instead, he cut something else — his leg.

Working with his father on a barbed wire fence the next day, Chapman accidentally ripped open his left thigh with a chain saw and had to be flown by helicopter to Scottsdale Healthcare Osborn Trauma Center. He received three layers of stitches and was released later Saturday.

That ended his track season, but he still hopes to return for his senior football season this fall and be back on the track next year.

He’s very lucky.

“It’ll be four to six weeks before I can get back to athletic competition,” he said. “I get my stitches out (April 24), then I just have to take it easy based on how it feels.”

He said the accident happened at the end of long day of work. “I was running the chain saw all day and I was kind of tired, I guess and I was moving kind of fast so we could get done and I was just being careless,” he said. “We were cutting stays for a barbed wire fence and I was next to my dad and he was holding it and I was cutting the limbs off of it so we could tie it up to the fence and I just sat it down on my leg. I was watching out where he was instead of where I was.”

It didn’t seem that bad at first.

“I just thought I ripped my jeans and then I looked at it and I actually cut my leg,” he said.

“But it didn’t hurt as bad as you’d think it would.

On a scale of 1-10 the pain was about a 4 or 5.”

Just one day earlier Chapman was thrilled to be back on the track with his teammates in his first competition since suffering a hamstring injury in winning the 100 at the Scottsdale Horizon Husky Invitational on March 14 in the second meet of the season. He originally injured the hamstring in the season-opening Sanders Montague Desert Classic at Queen Creek on March 6.

“I was anxious to come back and I was excited that I got to run Friday, and then I end up doing this,” said a disappointed Chapman. “I was practicing a lot, just doing light stuff until I could feel the pain in my leg. I was at 80-90 percent at the track meet.

“I was feeling good that day. It felt good to get back with the relay. I haven’t got to run with them yet except for Friday.”

The Longhorns had high expectations this season and Chapman was a major reason for that optimism, along with his 4x100 mates Trevor Clawson, Chaz Davis and Bowen Sweeney, as well as distance runner Gerardo Moceri and jumper Braden Hancock, who are all enjoying strong campaigns.

“I was thinking we’d be able to win state for the 4x100 and as a whole team,” he said. “We had a strong team that could score a lot of points.”

But don’t count out the 400 relay just because he won’t be running on it.

“I think our 4x100 will still have a pretty good chance,” he said. “I mean, everyone’s running in the 11s. Spencer (Herrera) was coming in for me and Blythe (Smith) ran with us Friday and according to athletic.net the team we ran Friday was No. 1 in the state for the 4x100.”

Chapman really wanted to help his team at state again this season.

“I’m very disappointed,” he said. “I was going to come back and score some points at state.”

He said he’s going to take it easy until he’s cleared to return to action.

“It shouldn’t affect my future if I don’t tear my fascia,” he said. “If I tear my fascia, I won’t ever be able to play sports again. But it should heal and be fine as long as I take it easy right now with my stitches. I think I’ll be back to normal in four to six weeks.”

April produces trophy trout in many Rim streams The month of April on the high mountain lakes of Arizona can produce more trophy size trout than any other time of the year.

Ice has been gone for a while, depending on the harshness of the winter freeze and the water temperatures are rising to the low 50s with the longer days of sunlight. This will trigger the trout into becoming more aggressive as they are cruising the lake looking for their next meal.

Most Arizona high mountain lakes have a significant population of holdover trout that have gained some size and weight depending on the existing food source in that body of water. The more fertile the lake, the faster the growing

According to Tim, weed growth can be a problem later in the year, with April or May being the perfect time for Becker and Crescent Lake. On a recent trip to Becker, he caught a number of two- to four-pound rainbows which can be a tremendous fight on lightweight fly rods.

These fish will not be reintroduced in most waters because they are not considered indigenous to Arizona as mandated by federal guidelines, even though they were stocked here in the early 1930s. These hardy bronze-colored trout can withstand warmer water and less than ideal conditions which are prevalent in Arizona lakes and streams during the hot summer months.

Now is the time to make that trip to your favorite trout lake, the fishing is rated very good and the chance of catching a real trophy trout is excellent. Take a friend fishing and enjoy God’s creation, the Arizona high country.

Davis, Herrera win Longhorn Bass Classic at Apache Lake

Matt Davis and Spencer Herrera usually wear uniforms while starring as student-athletes for Payson High.

But in addition to their roles on the Longhorns’ football, basketball and track teams, the pair also like to fish and are members of the high school’s bass club.

On Saturday, they reeled in another championship at the Second Annual Longhorn Bass Classic at Apache Lake.

After winning the first tournament hosted by Payson High on Roosevelt Lake last spring, the duo caught 13.96 pounds of fish to win. They snagged the tournament’s big fish, a 5.95-pound monster. the Payson dominated 17-team field with eight teams.

Among them were Layne Chitwood and Trevor Anderson, who finished second with 13.87 pounds, including a big fish of

3.77 pounds.

PHS’s Ryan Wacker and Zacharie Ulmer finished second in the big fish competition with a 3.62-pound bass.

Sadie Dunman gets the force out at second base during the Longhorns’ 1-0 win over Lakeside Blue Ridge on Monday.

Softball home stretch From page 1B Hall marveled at Paulson and the Longhorns.

“They have an awesome team,” Hall said. “They’re solid at every position and hit strong through their whole lineup.

“At our place, we walked Paulson and Anilese and the next girl (Cori Barnett) both hit home runs.

“Today, we didn’t walk Paulson. Korey was determined to pitch to her. But it’s hard to pitch to a Division I player. She’s as good as we’ll ever see.”

The game was a little strange for Hayes, who starred at Blue Ridge before transferring to Payson last summer. She belted a home run in the Longhorns’ win in Lakeside and singled and walked in the rematch.

“It was weird playing my old team, but it was fun to be back

on the same field with them just being able to joke around with them,” the junior said.

The Longhorns (4-0 section) carried an 11-0 record in power points games into Wednesday’s home game with Whiteriver Alchesay. They entertain Good­ year Estrella Foothills at noon on Saturday and play at Eagar Round Valley on Monday.

Then they will close the home schedule with Cottonwood Mingus at 3:30 p.m. Thursday followed by a 6 p.m. April 24 showdown against Show Low that could decide the Section 5 championship. The Cougars were 13-1 (5-0 section) and ranked No. 2 in Division 3 as of Wednesday morning. They’ve lost just once this season — to Payson.

Payson closes the regular season with road games at Fountain Hills on April 28 and at Globe on April 29.
