months or are in construction — including the Tractor Supply Store next to Tiny’s restaurant. The only sour note on the financial report came in the form of a 7 percent decline in taxes from vehicle license fees, mostly linked to new car sales. Moreover, Payson last month closed on a line of credit to build the C.C. Cragin pipeline, the Mogollon Health Alliance struck a deal with Banner Health Systems to operate the medical center and backers of a university campus in Payson found the money to buy a 253 acre Forest Service parcel for the campus.

Payson’s economy boomed in March, with a cumulative 13 percent rise in sales tax collections since the start of the fiscal year last July. By contrast, state-shared sales tax receipts rose only 4 percent in the same period — fresh evidence that Rim Country’s economy is once again outperforming the statewide economy. Payson officials say developers have made inquiries about reviving several long-stalled contracts and several new businesses have either started operations in recent

A man who tried to run down seven people at a bonfire in 2013 was sentenced to 16 years in prison April 17. Joshua John Dangerfield’s trial started March 17, but after two days Dangerfield pleaded guilty to 12 felony charges without even seeking a plea deal. In front of a packed Payson courtroom, Superior Court Judge Gary Scales sentenced Dangerfield for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated DUI, aggravated assault against a police officer and resisting arrest. Dangerfield told a probation officer that he was sorry for his actions on the night of April 21, 2013. He said not a day goes by that he does not regret it, according to a presentencing report. “Since then I have turned my life around for the better, but I know that doesn’t change the past,” Dangerfield said, who is expecting a child in January. On that April night, Danger field tried to run over several people with his Ford Bronco at a fire pit at the Days Inn. Dangerfield had met several people in the area for a roping event at the Buffalo Bar and Grill earlier in the evening. Dangerfield took an interest in one of the patrons. Court staff blacked out the name and all the victims involved. The ropers left the bar and met up with some men having a bonfire, according to the report. Dangerfield showed up, but grew agitated when he saw who was there. “Although he stayed for a while, Joshua left upset and sat in his vehicle revving his engine for several minutes before leaving to a nearby fast food restaurant,” according to the report. Dangerfield returned to the hotel, jumped the curb and drove straight toward the fire pit. He tried repeatedly to strike seven people, doing donuts, speeding, slamming on his brakes and revving his engine. While everyone

The jewel of Payson — Green Valley Park — will have some extra sparkle Saturday during the 22nd Annual Rim Country Classic Auto Club’s Beeline Cruise-In. Each year the car show helps Rim Country residents and visitors welcome the joys of summer with beautiful, lovingly restored antique, vintage and classic automobiles. The show opens this afternoon with the traditional cruise around Payson. Leaving Green Valley Park, the cruisers head west on Country Club Road and then north on Vista. A short westerly jog on Bulla and a cross over to Airport Road takes the parade of prized cars east on Airport down to the roundabout beside the Elks Lodge
where they will go north on Beeline to the Tyler Parkway (Home Depot) roundabout and then take Tyler over to East Highway 260. At the Tyler and 260 light the group will head west again and then go north when it gets to the Beeline, ending the cruise at the Payson Elks Lodge. The car show formally takes place from 8 a.m. to about 4 p.m., Saturday, April 25, with awards presented at about 3 p.m. The public can participate in a raffle and enjoy the vendors selling all manner of automotive supplies, food, beverages and more. Co-chairman Ken Gunderson said a week before the event about 150 people had registered. Many more should show up before the show, with many waiting to see if rain disrupts this year’s

Texting confusion Schools crisis system flawed by
Michele Nelson
roundup staff reporter
The Jan. 20 Payson Unified School District lockdown exposed a flaw in the district’s communication system the tech department has now fixed — the ability to send out text messages to parents. During the lockdown, many parents discovered the possible threat to the school posed by an armed robbery suspect in the neighborhood only when their children texted trying to find out what was going on. Unfortunately, many parents didn’t know to go to the district’s website for the update on events. “I don’t have my computer with me all day, but I do have my phone,” said PUSD parent Brian McMinimy.
‘Historic’ day for restoration
So the tech department worked to make it possible for district officials to send out a text message to everyone with a text address on file. On April 3, a text came from 68453 that read, “Payson USD messages. Reply Y for aprx 3 msgs/mo. Txt HELP 4 info. Msg&data rates may apply.

Forest thinning plan regains crucial support by
Pete Aleshire
roundup editor
The Forest Service’s plan to use a revived timber industry to restore hundreds of thousands of acres of unhealthy forest and protect forested communities from wildfire has drawn broad support from environmentalists, foresters, researchers, local officials and industry. The Forest Service signed off on the final environmental impact statement this week that provides an ecological blueprint for the Four Forest Restoration Initiative, the largest environmental assessment in history. The Forest Service spent a year taking comments and making revisions, but ended up with a document that seemed to please all sides. Center for Biological Diversity founder Robin Silver said the plan will end the “timber wars” that has all but paralyzed forest management for decades. The environmental review covered about 600,000 acres, mostly in the Kaibab and Coconino forests. The Forest Service is now working on the review of another million acres. “This restoration work will contribute significantly to our efforts to sustain healthy, resilient landscapes,” said Tom
Tidwell, chief of the Forest Service. “Support from these stakeholder groups will ensure we maintain this momentum for the long haul. That’s what it will take to make a difference.” Gila County Supervisor Tommie Martin, one of those original “stakeholders,” called the event historic, but also expressed frustration at the years of delays in reaching this point. “When I got involved in this in 2007, the Forest Service said we could begin cutting trees in February of 09. Of course, that has come and gone and we still haven’t cut down too many trees. We need to get out there and start cutting to protect these forests. The only way we can do it is to thin them out.” She noted that the first 600,000-acre stretch studied and approved doesn’t include the vital watershed of the C.C. Cragin Reservoir, on which Rim Country depends. It also doesn’t yet include many areas around Payson, since they’re dominated by pinyon juniper woodlands rather The Forest Service wants to use a combination than the ponderosa pine forests on which the initial study of mechanical thinning and controlled burns focused. like this one to restore Arizona’s badly overgrown, crown-fire-prone forests.

To send jail staff to training, the Gila County sheriff decided to close the Payson jail for eight days in May. As a result, Payson police will have to drive anyone arrested to the Globe jail, which will mean one or two officers will lose half a shift every time they take someone to jail. Sheriff Adam Shepherd said he had no way to keep the Payson jail open and still send the staff to training in the Valley. Due to staff shortages last year, detention staff in Payson did not attend the training session. So this year Shepherd decided to shut down the satellite jail facility despite its effect on local law enforcement and the courts. Shepherd said he does not think it will impact the Payson Police Department or the Gila County court system too much and neither organization has balked at the training. Besides PPD, DPS, Forest Service, Gila County probation and the Tonto Apache Police will

have to take any arrest to the Globe jail themselves. Payson Police Chief Don Engler said they support the GCSO training and have made plans to have additional officers on duty or work overtime to transport inmates to Globe. The PPD has holding cells. Any arrests made during the day that must be held in jail will likely be shipped to Globe at the end of the day so trips are limited. It takes at least four hours to drive to Globe and back and that does not include booking time. To limit the number of new inmates, the PPD plans to do cite and release for non-violent arrests, which means a person is still arrested and must appear in court, they are just not booked in jail. Engler said the number of arrests varies daily, but in a recent weekend, Payson Police made 10 arrests. Engler plans to coordinate inmate shuttles with the GCSO. The closure extends from May 10 to May 18. While the Arizona Jails Association annu-
al conference only lasts four days, Shepherd said deputies decided to close the jail for a week because they need one day to ship the nine Payson inmates to Globe, get the jail closed down and then another day to get it reopened. The cost to attend the conference is $275, plus $108 a night for lodging. The GCSO is paying for the training out of the jail enhancement fund, not the general fund. The Payson jail currently has 14 full-time employees, of which about a dozen will attend the training in Chandler. That puts the cost of the training at about $4,600. Shepherd said he looked at sending Globe staff to Payson to keep the jail open, but there are not enough employees to do so. Shepherd said the training doesn’t address any specific problems in the jail, but will give staff the most up to date information on legislative changes and best practices. After the event, Shepherd will determine if the benefit of the training was worth the disruption to the jail operations.

Still, she said final approval of the environmental analysis is a “huge deal.” The Forest Service made changes from the draft plan that provided stronger protection for the remaining old-growth, fire-resistant trees and provided greater flexibility when it comes to protecting endangered, oldgrowth species like the Northern goshawk and the Mexican spotted owl. The broad agreement on the thinning plan leaves the focus squarely on the effort of contractor Good Earth Power Arizona to gear up for the massive undertaking. The contractor has cut only a fraction of the scheduled amount and fallen far behind schedule. However, the company says it has invested $13 million and hopes to dramatically increase the pace of its thinning projects in the next year. The company so far has clearance to cut 21,500 acres, but has only finished work on 3,700 acres. The original plan called for thinning 30,000 to 50,000 acres every year. But the agreement on the kind of forest the project should produce represents an enormous step forward, easing fears the unprecedented coalition of environmentalists, local officials and industry would fall apart after years of effort. The Center for Biological Diversity, which helped develop the original plan but then threatened to go back to court to protect the old-growth trees, hailed the revised plan. Silver said, “This is a historic day for those of us that have been fighting this war for 30 years now. Everyone should take a breath and say ‘Wow,’ and now we can move on.” U.S. Senators from Arizona John McCain and Jeff Flake drafted a joint letter that said, that with the National Environmental Policy Act analysis complete, the Forest Service can move to restore more than 586,000 acres. “For years we have heard that the lack of a completed NEPA analysis was one of the biggest impediments to aggressively thinning our forest. Now, that is no excuse. In the end, performance on the ground will be the real measure of success for the collaborative 4FRI effort.” They noted that wildfires have consumed more than a million acres of pine forest in Arizona since 2002. Thinning projects remain crucial not only in protecting forested communities, but the watersheds that sustain Phoenix and Tucson with runoff into a network of reservoirs. Arizona Game and Fish
Forest Restoration The analysis for the initial 600,000 acres of the project envisions: • Mechanically thin 430,000 acres. • Use controlled burns to thin another 156,000 acres. • Cutting trees up to 18 inches in diameter in 70 areas where Mexican Spotted Owls may nest or forage. • Build 520 miles of temporary roads to haul out lumber. • Widen or improve 40 miles of existing roads. • Decommission 850 miles of existing and unauthorized roads. •
Restore 74 springs, build four miles of protective fencing and restore 39 miles of seasonal streams.
• Build 82 miles of protective fencing to keep elk from eating aspen shoots. Department Director Larry Voyles said, “This is an historic day for conservation in Arizona and the nation as a whole. Our southwestern forests have borne the brunt of catastrophic wildfires for more than a decade. I’m optimistic we have finally turned a corner to embrace a collaborative, proactive approach.” But Supervisor Martin said, “We have a contract that was let in 2012 that calls for thinning 30,000 acres a year for 10 years. The contract changed hands in 2013. But in those three years the contractor should have thinned 90,000 acres — but the Forest Service has only released 30,000 acres and the contractor has only cut 3,800 acres. If this initiative had to grow this big to get this kind of money, then I won’t fuss and snort too bad about that. But we have a contact that was let in May of 12 ... that calls for 30,000 acres a year for 10 years. It changed hands in May of 13. We’re on our second contractor. In those three years that 90,000 acres should have been treated, the Forest Service through their task orders have released to this contractor about 30,000 acres. The contractor has only cut 3,800. “I agree This is huge. It is historic. It’s a big piece of country. But actually performing on the contract to me is even more

The Forest Service hopes that the contractor can make enough money on trees up to the size pictured to thin a million acres with no cost to taxpayers. important. This isn’t the end of the process, it’s the beginning. Let’s cut some trees.” Good Earth Power hailed the revised plan and promised to ramp up its operations. The Oman-based company landed the 4FRI contract, despite the doubts of many of the stakeholder groups concerning its lack of experience with large-scale logging. The company bought a mill in Heber to start processing wood coming off previously approved thinning projects. The company also announced plans to build a new mill in Williams to both handle biomass and small trees and to produce compost for a regional market. However, the company had trouble getting permits from the town of Williams, especially after it for a time lost control of a fire in a pile of sawdust and wood scraps. This week Good Earth said it is buying a fleet of trucks, after discovering its subcontractors didn’t have enough trucks to keep
on schedule. The company has bought three trucks and has 19 more on order. Due to the delays in winning approval of a mill on a 37-acre site in Williams, the company is now investigating building a new mill in Flagstaff. “No one can say that GEPAZ has not put its money and, yes, its reputation on the line to build an industry that will assure the success of 4FRI and of privately funded forest restoration in Arizona,” said the company in a statement. “Few companies would likely choose to do the same, given the challenges, the pressures and the uncertainty involved in the project.” The company currently has 13 task orders for thinning projects, including the nearly completed, 585-acre Woodchuck project in the Tonto National Forest. Projects near Rim Country include 4,295 acres near East Clear Creek and the 952-acre Mercer Project near Christopher Creek.
Man faces prison term for a drunken assault From page 1A scattered for cover, Dangerfield drove through the fire pit, trapping a man and woman between the fire and a picnic table. Dangerfield then fled the area. Payson police caught up with him and found a branch embedded in the front grill. Staggering and belligerent, police saw that Dangerfield was impaired. When officers went to draw his blood, Dangerfield refused and thrashed around, grabbing one officer despite repeated commands to let go. At the hospital, Dangerfield contin-
ued to yell and squirm. Several officers held Dangerfield down to get a blood draw. He had a .234 blood alcohol content, nearly three times the legal limit. “I was drunk and behind the wheel,” he told probation. “I do take responsibility for my actions that night. I wish I would have walked away that night and walked home.” Several people vouched for Dangerfield, including friends, his girlfriend and his employer, a Pine waste disposal provider. One supporter wrote that they had watched Dangerfield grow into a responsible, caring man
in the past year that makes good choices. His girlfriend wrote that Dangerfield has changed and is very hard working, never missing a day of work. “I feel prison would be 100 steps back from where he is today,” she wrote. His employer wrote that Dangerfield has been a model employee and they are willing to sign him on for five years of employment and pay any fees associated with a work release program through the jail. A probation officer, however, found that Dangerfield committed
an unconscionable act of violence, deliberately driving his vehicle to hurt seven people. “Mr. Dangerfield is certainly no stranger to the criminal justice system and has a lengthy criminal history stemming back 18 years,” they wrote. “Virtually every conviction has been alcohol related and several have involved violent behavior to some extent.” Dangerfield has seven prior felony convictions from 1996 to 1998, including two aggravated DUIs, aggravated assault, theft, fraud and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to the Gila County Attorney’s Office.

lookback
Forest Service gets it right Admittedly, the wheels grind exceeding slow — but this time the Forest Service got it right. The Forest Service has now completed work on the largest environmental analysis in history. Forest Service officials this week celebrate the analysis of a plan to use mechanical thinning and controlled burns to dramatically reduce the tree densities on 600,000 acres of ponderosa pine forests in the Kaibab and Coconino Forests. For a time, we feared the Forest Service would squander years of work by failing to adequately protect the remaining old growth, fire-resistant trees. The agreement to protect the big trees laid the foundation for the hard-won consensus that united loggers, environmentalists and local officials on a plan to save the forest. Initially, the Forest Service insisted it would not embrace the diameter limit on cutting, which caused key environmental groups to consider abandoning the whole effort and going back to war to save the big trees. Fortunately, the final analysis provided plenty of safeguards for the big trees, which now comprise less than 3 percent of the trees in the forest. Moreover, the analysis provided a prescription that includes the flexibility to protect endangered species like the Mexican Spotted Owl and the Northern Goshawk. The prescription calls for a diverse, healthy, much less dense forest that more closely resembles the open, patchy, resilient forest that existed before a century of logging, grazing and fire suppression threw the whole system out of balance. The environmental groups have come back on board. You’ve got to figure, you’ve got a winning prescription if you can get a staunch Republican heir of an old-line ranching family like Tommie Cline Martin on the same page with Centers for Biological Diversity founder Dr. Robin Silver. So we’re delighted the Forest Service has come up with such a flexible, thoughtful, pragmatic, workable plan. Now, if we could just get the 4FRI contractor already selected to ramp up to the 30,000-acres-per-year rate necessary to make a dent in an enormous and potentially deadly problem. The original schedule envisioned thinning projects affecting 90,000 acres by now. Instead, Good Earth Power AZ has cut about 3,800 acres. The approval of the environmental analysis will likely clear vast new tracts for treatment, but two years after getting the contract, Good Earth still doesn’t have the trucks, mills or subcontractors necessary to get the job done. Moreover, the Forest Service has yet to add the watershed draining into the C.C. Cragin Reservoir to the thinning list. Local and regional officials must make that their top priority now. A crown fire on that watershed could lead to erosion that would dramatically reduce the capacity of the reservoir on which all of Rim Country depends. So we hope that state, federal and local officials will now do whatever it takes to get out the cut. If they can, they may not only prevent the next Rodeo Chediski from consuming Payson or Show Low, but create a national model for restoring forests unhinged by a century of mismanagement. The Forest Service got it right this time. But as our own Tommie Martin observed: This is not the end — this is but the beginning of the hard work we must do.

Thanks for the support Editor: On behalf of the Northern Gila County Historical Society, Inc., I would like to thank Carol Zebb, Roundup columnist, for her recent article about her visit to the Zane Grey Cabin with her guest. We have always maintained that the Rim Country Museum and Zane Grey Cabin in Green Valley Park are the best kept secrets in Payson, but are delighted that Carol has found us out and is spreading the word. The number of visitors we get from around the world tells us that thousands of people are interested in Zane Grey and Rim Country history. Visit us on Facebook or TripAdvisor to find out what a great place the museums are to take your visitors. Sandy Carson, president, NGCHS, Inc.
Lawmakers block recycling Editor: We celebrate Earth Day in April to demonstrate support for maintaining a healthy environment. Cities and counties with their voluntary recycling efforts are responsible for disposing of containers including plastic bags. Yet, Gov. Ducey and each of our local representatives, Sylvia Allen, Brenda Barton and Bob Thorpe voted for SB 12141, which makes it illegal for local communities to implement certain recycling actions intended to preserve the environment if they involve any deposit or cost to businesses. If communities are not allowed to decide for themselves and if plastic recycling cannot be regulated locally, what will these legislators do next to deny our right to make decisions in the best interest of our own communities? Marie Fasano
Responsible to our children Editor: Come, let us reason together. The old biblical admonishment still stands, but is little recognized or applied today. Take, for example, the push to reform public schools by siphoning off funding from them to charter schools originally intended to try new methods of teaching which, if successful, could be applied broadly to better education generally. Now the results are coming in. A number of these experiments are touted as spectacularly successful and might well fulfill their promise if their methods could be applied to the public schools. Alas, the funding which might have made this possible has gone away due to severe budget cuts and into the pockets of a growing number of private for-profit charter schools and universities. The increasing funding of private schools using public education monies means that public schools are desperately trying to fulfill their calling with their hands tied behind their backs. In Arizona, $1,000 per student of your tax money goes to private schools if a student enrolls there. The public system will have more and more difficulty being able to provide the necessary services to their broad spectrum of students as their funding from the state decreases and more of it is taken away by private for-profit schools. Now think about that. Are we, as citizens, responsible to all children for a decent education? Whatever happened to the common good? Have we become so individualistic in our thinking that the idea of what is needed for the greater good for the whole of society doesn’t matter anymore? I fear so. Marilyn Decker
Thoughts on climate change Editor: Let’s consider what knowledgeable climate change alarmists and climate change skeptics both believe to be
true. Both believe the climate changes naturally, other influences aside. Both believe the climate has warmed since the Little Ice Age. Both believe humans affect the climate in various ways. Both believe CO2 has an effect on atmospheric heat retention. There are no climate-knowledgeable people who are climate change deniers. Part of the problem is the carefully-nurtured misconception that climate change means man-caused, catastrophic climate change. When the common shorthand for that, “climate change,” is used, people trying to get a handle on the issue get confused. Where so-called climate change alarmists and climate change skeptics differ is in the belief that human CO2 emissions are changing the global climate in harmful ways. The alarmists believe that our CO2 emissions are driving us to disaster, but skeptics believe that that theory has yet to be adequately demonstrated. No one is even sure whether or not a couple of degrees warmer is bad. There are other agendas cooking. See http://tinyurl.com/ ycv9xjc One of my favorite quotes, by Ottmar Edenhoffer, an academic working on occasion with the IPCC: “We redistribute de facto the world’s wealth by climate policy ... Basically it’s a big mistake to discuss climate policy separately from the major themes of globalization ... One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with environmental policy anymore.” Still waiting for my oil money! Paul Wescott
College plan an embarrassment It has become very clear that the idea of an institution of higher education is now a mess of fragmented notions that will not attract 600 students to Payson much less 6,000. If this article is meant to show what success looks like then you don’t even have to read between the lines to see that it is already a miserable failure. The simple fact that no one even cares at this point to comment on it shows me that the plan has reached a point where residents now can only hope that we won’t be completely embarrassed by the outcome. Scott McCleery
Giving up on VA Editor: Thank you for publishing my letter “Wait time” (April 14). Most likely due to my frustrations of time, I was misquoted due to my penmanship! I meant ERA not EPA; 1 out of 1600; 200 to 300 veterans; 1968-1971. Sorry I confused the typist. The Department of Veterans Affairs’ health care is a poster child for socialized care. And VA started this noncare when the government defunded VA in 2008 when the economy dumped. I called Channel 3 Steve Bodinet about a year before the doctor blew the whistle about the fudging of the wait time, VA Phoenix. Like others, I cannot afford a supplemental insurance plan and have given up on the VA and I am letting nature take its course. Ste Ko

Schools to get technology upgrades by
Michele Nelson
roundup staff reporter
For years, students and staff of Payson Unified School District have made jokes about the outmoded and painfully slow computers and Internet access. But they won’t anymore. Director of Information Technology Joni de Szendeffy says every teacher in the district will have a new computer by the time school starts the first week of August. And by the time AzMERIT testing (the new online test replacing AIMS) rolls out next year, she will have enough bandwidth and Chromebooks to do all the testing online — no more paper and pencil. “Our goal is to have all of the PC’s in place when everyone returns from summer vacation,” said de Szendeffy. This past year has been the hardest for de Szendeffy and her staff. Shackled with a budget hacked from $2 million down to $700,000, an antiquated system, and a staff stretched thin, the department has quietly toiled over the year. In gardener’s terms, the tech department has “built up the soil.” It’s not like growing award-winning roses, but if a garden doesn’t have good soil, plants will never blossom. De Szendeffy and her crew have spent countless hours, including nights and weekends, replacing servers and network switches required to handle the district’s crush of Internet traffic, while also patching the aging system. “We’ve replaced nearly 80 switches,” said de Szendeffy. Some of the switches were hand-me-downs from the hospital when PRMC took over 19 years ago. Moreover, the main router was 22 years old. As a result, the ancient equipment could not handle the demands of the district.
The PUSD IT department replaced aging switches and servers to increase the bandwidth and speed up Internet connections. “Our switches were so old they were not handling enough megabits per second,” said de Szendeffy. “Your switch is handling the traffic to and from the Internet and your internal network (LAN). It didn’t matter if we had 100 megabits or 300 megabits in the pipe … our switch could only handle half that traffic. Purchasing bandwidth didn’t matter (because) once it hit us we were strangling.” But replacing everything would cost thousands the district didn’t have. The plan for the overhaul goes back to the term of former Superintendent Ron Hitchcock. De Szendeffy told the board she needed $2 million to upgrade the system. “When I said we would probably need $2 million, Mr. Hitchcock pushed his chair away from the table and I could sense his and the board’s frustration,” she said. So de Szendeffy launched into a yearlong search for other solutions. “I had to put the plan together. I had no idea where the money would come from,” she said, “but I knew I had to get the best bang for the buck and accomplish as much as possible with whatever budget we were given.”
She subscribed to list-serves, joined in online forums with other districts and interviewed tech directors from big districts, such as Mesa, Vail and Paradise Valley. De Szendeffy found out that Cisco Systems refurbished switches and then guaranteed the work. She priced out the best deals on iPads and Chromebooks for the classrooms. She and her staff met with several vendors to determine the server installation that would best serve the district. They evaluated ways to bring wireless across all campuses. They designed new systems for teachers and staff. All the pieces were in place, and then a miracle happened. A couple of surprise windfalls came in from the last forest fee payment to funds from the sale of Frontier Elementary. “It actually started pulling together … we had sold Frontier and we had the funds,” said de Szendeffy. But the work needed to get up to speed, just like building up a garden’s soil, it is tedious. Teachers and students have not yet seen a difference in Internet speeds. All staff and students see are nearly obsolete computers. However, this summer, classrooms will bloom with the new computers and hundreds of added Chromebooks (with the Longhorn logo engraved on top). Combined with the smart boards, projectors, and document cameras already in classrooms, PUSD’s technology will rival much larger districts. While the tech department did implement a new service ticketing system this year and can handle service issues quickly, even remotely, de Szendeffy looks forward to next year when her staff should have more time to work with teachers on new equipment and software. “This is an exciting time for PUSD as we position ourselves to provide the district and our students current technologies,” she said.
Calculus Camp is secret weapon to help students do better on AP exam by
Michele Nelson
roundup staff reporter
Payson High School math teacher David Meidinger has a secret weapon to help his kids do better on their AP Calculus exam — Calculus Camp. Calculus camp may sound like the punchline for a joke, but for the last six years Meidinger’s students have had a blast. “Payson High has taken as few as five (students) and as many as 15 during my tenure,” said Meidinger. “I have seen as many as 120 from about eight schools some years. This year there were about 85.” Meidinger said the camp serves students who study Advanced Placement Calculus and AP Statistics. Organizers hold the camp in Prescott at the Prescott Pines Camp (prescottpines.org). Meidinger said Sherry Baca, director of the North Central Arizona Mathematics and Science Consortium, organizes the camp. Camp starts on Wednesday with dinner and runs through Saturday afternoon. And they really do eat well and have fun, said Meidinger, as they prepare for the high stakes AP exam in May. “Preparing for the AP tests in May is the purpose and focus of Camp,” said Meidinger. “That being said, students eat good meals (and snacks) as well as having some deliberate recreational time. Our calculus students typically include some of the top athletes and students who are involved in a number of extracurricular activities. There are a variety of recreation options for the students.” Turns out, having fun boosts learning. “Sometimes our children do not listen to us (teachers),” said Meidinger. “Then another person comes along, gives them the same advice, and then our child listens to that person.”

Payson High School sent about 85 students to Calculus Camp in Prescott this year. The camp mixes study with recreation in a typical camp setting and helps students prepare for the AP Calculus exam.
Students benefit from the variety of presenters as they review a wide range of calculus topics. The camp boost scores, said Meidinger. “It takes strong self-discipline to sit through hours of group work, individual quizzing and interactive lectures. Thankfully, the typical AP student possesses the required discipline.”
Multiple agencies to participate in mass casualty training exercise on Saturday by
Alexis Bechman
roundup staff reporter
Expect to see helicopters in the air and fire trucks heading in and out of Star Valley Saturday as the Gila County Sherriff’s Office hosts a mass casualty training exercise. Multiple agencies are participating in the training, which will simulate a plane crash in the forest east of Star Valley. Although a drill, responders will act like it is the real thing, using the radio to talk with dispatchers and other agencies and bringing patients both by air and ambulance to the hospital, where staff will “treat” them. Rodney Cronk with the GCSO is heading up the training which begins at 8 a.m. and is expected to last for six hours. Cronk hosts an annual search
and rescue training with local volunteer groups, but this year, several fire departments asked to participate and Payson Regional Medical Center said it would like to train for mass casualties. The training expanded to now include eight fire departments, the Mounted Posse, Payson Posse, Tonto Rim Search and Rescue, Community Emergency Response Team, U.S. Forest Service, Native Air, PMT Ambulance, DPS Ranger, Guardian Air, hospital and Explorer program. Twenty volunteers will play the victims, all with varying conditions. Cronk said he settled on a plane crash because he has worked two plane crashes and two helicopter wrecks in the area in the past few years. Payson is also along the flight path to Phoenix, said Lt. Tim Scott.

Drug conviction complicates job search, recovery Move afoot to remove felony check box by
Michele Nelson
roundup staff reporter
A job means security to a family. It brings dignity to a life. And a job makes a person feel valuable. But for thousands of Americans, checking off the dreaded, “I have been convicted of a felony” box crushes all hopes. Employers refuse to hire them, which makes it far more difficult to pull themselves out of the abyss and sustain their recovery. Many felons committed non-violent crimes as a result of an addiction. Once they stop using and try to reclaim their lives, they discover they cannot get a job. The vital role of a job in recovery came up at this week’s community meeting on the heroin epidemic hosted by the Payson Police Department. Lee Sears, the director for the Payson Steps House for recovering addicts, said residents there have to get a job first.
Payson Mayor Kenny Evans said the town needs to help. “One of the things the town can do is to allow someone to recover their dignity,” he said. “We need to provide them an opportunity (for a job).” However, Police Chief Don Engler said many employers in town will hire people with a felony record to give them a second chance. Meanwhile, advocates have launched a national campaign to remove the felony box on employment applications. At the Democratic Women’s Club lunch meeting on April 15, Dianne Post of the Arizona Justice Alliance explained the Ban the Box national movement. Some 65 million Americans have a criminal record that would show up on a background check — more than 20 percent of the population. That could include smoking a joint decades earlier. “Some 6,000 prisoners a year come out of prison … (while) violent crime is half of what it was years ago,” said Post. “If you get a job … you are paying taxes for whatever job you are doing (and)
you’re improving public safety because you are not doing crimes.” In 1998, Hawaii became the first state to launch the Ban the Box camHITS paign. Hawaii’s House Bill 3528 applied to both public and prisixth in a series vate employment. The bill prohibits employers from asking or even looking into an applicant’s criminal history until after making an initial offer of employment. The law allows the employer to withdraw the offer if the crime committed has a “rational relationship” to the job duties, such as an embezzler applying for an accounting job. The National Employment Law Project (http://www.nelp.org/publication/ban-the-box-fair-chance-hiringstate-and-local-guide/) reported that by April of 2015, 100 cities and counties have adopted Ban the Box, while 16 states have done the same. Many corporations have also adopted the practice, including both Walmart and Target. Currently, Post said the City of
HEROIN HOME
A Payson heroin user’s needle track marks are shown in this police crime scene photo. Phoenix is looking at passing a Ban the Box initiative. She said companies that have hired applicants with felonies are not losing money, according to studies. When asked how a town such as Payson could enact a Ban the Box initiative, Post said, “How do you do it? Many places did it by executive order. You can ask the city council to do it. You can ask
the county board of supervisors to do it. You can make it so that it only applies to jobs in the public sector.” She said Phoenix decided to make it applicable only to those applying for public sector jobs with the city or with a company that contracts with the city. “Even the chamber of commerce supports Ban the Box,” said Post.
Payson drug meeting focuses on services, families From page 1A recovering addict, announced they will host meetings and form new groups to help addicts recover and families to cope with the shame and fear that comes with a child using. The mother said she is holding a meeting for any parents dealing with addicted children on May 14 at 7 p.m. at the Quality Inn. The event is closed to law enforcement and media so everyone can share freely. The woman said she hopes to form a coalition. The woman, who we are not identifying, said she was blindsided by her children’s addiction. Her daughter was a high-functioning student, but fell into the grip of addiction late in high school. Three of her four children are now in recovery for heroin or meth use. “I now realize how uneducated I was,” she said, adding that most sixth-graders know more about drugs than the average parent. Although she noticed foil missing from her kitchen, she didn’t figure out that one of her children was using it to melt powdered heroin before injecting it. Payson police say they often suspect heroin use when they find someone carrying a roll of foil with no other need for it. Another warning sign — the smell of vinegar, which is associated with heroin use, she said.
This police photo shows paraphernalia used to inject heroin.
Sadly, the woman said she has attended four funerals in the last six years relating to drug abuse. She’s not alone in her struggle. Parents frequently approach her coyly at the supermarket and confess that their child too is in the throes of addiction. To break the silence and the stigma, the woman hopes this upcoming meeting will help parents realize they are not alone in this fight. For instance, Tony Harczynski said he has struggled with addiction since his teenaged years. Bullied as a child, he turned to a group of peers that offered acceptance along with drugs and alcohol. After years of prison stays, he is finally clean and ready to give back. Harczynski purchased all of the material to start a Heroin Anonymous group and is working to launch another recovery program in town. “I have been in the trenches,” he said. He said he just needs a space to hold the meetings. Payson Town Councilor Su Connell pledged her support to eliminate the use and sale of heroin in Payson. She said admitting the community has a problem is the first step. To beat the “beast” of heroin, the community must rally and realize there is no “us vs. them,” but only “us” trying to help one another. She encouraged community members to lend their support.
Payson economy rebounds as sales increase tops state From page 1A The latest Payson financial report suggests a rise in sales and construction has kindled a strong response to the flow of good economic news. The town’s building permit revenues for the fiscal year rose 36 percent during the same period in the prior fiscal year. Revenues from plan review fees rose 8 percent. The figures also showed a startling 62 percent increase in sales tax receipts from bars and restaurants for the month of February, since the category specific numbers lag a month behind the overall sales figures. For February, overall retail sales rose
8 percent and revenues from hotels rose 6 percent. Most other town sources of revenue rose as well. State-shared income tax rose 7 percent. State-shared gasoline taxes rose 9 percent, good news for residents frustrated by the years of neglect of even routine road maintenance projects as the state diverted the gas tax money to other uses — like the budget for the Department of Public Safety. The town spends more than $1 million a month on its $13.4 million general fund, with more than half of that going for police and fire. About 80 percent of the money flowing into the general fund
comes from taxes, most of it from the sales tax. The town also spends about $500,000 a month on the water department, which generates all its own revenue. The water fund isn’t included in the general fund. It remains the largest single town expense. The water fund actually stands at about $14 million, with most of that money earmarked for building the C.C. Cragin pipeline from Washington Park to a notyet-built water treatment plant next door to Mesa del Caballo. The water fund has been bolstered this year by a significant increase in water rates, imposed in large measure to make sure the town qualifies for a low-interest rate state loan to build the pipeline.

Despite the heartening rise in revenues, the town has had to dip into its reserves to balance spending in the general fund. The town to date has used about $100,000 in reserves, which still remain at $1.1 million 75 percent of the way through the fiscal year. Fortunately, although revenues have risen less than the council hoped when it adopted its budget back in July, the town’s various departments have remained well under budget. All told, the town’s general fund departments are about 12 percent under budget, led by substantial savings in the police department, which is 17 percent under budget so far. The $4.8 million annual police department budget rep-
resents 36 percent of the general fund. The fire department so far remains about 12 percent under budget. The fire department’s $3.3 million budget represents 25 percent of the general fund, not counting the employee benefits that remain tucked into the Central Services category. The $1.2 million Central Services fund represents 9 percent of the general fund. But so far this year it’s about $100,000 over budget. Other departments spending more than projected for this point in the fiscal year include the town manager and economic development, the town clerk, the magistrate court and the computer-based information technology department.

Two people were treated after their vehicle rolled on northbound State Route 87 Thursday morning. The rollover occurred at 5:30 a.m. The driver and passenger were both flown from the scene to the Scottsdale Osborn hospital. The driver had the more serious injuries, but they proved non-life threatening. The passenger was treated and released. Officers closed one lane of travel for a short period.
Payson Roundup LOCAL Friday, April 24, 2015
Another memorable voice lost When you’re a high school senior, life at this time of the school year can be a whole lot of hectic. For many seniors, fighting through “senioritis” to complete school work, maintaining a job, sports, clubs, organizations, dating and keeping up with social media don’t leave a young man or woman with much room left on his or her plate. Throw in senior pictures, graduation plans and the high school prom and a 12th-grader’s plate begins to get a bit crowded. And speaking of the prom, Payson High School’s annual formal dance is just around the corner — this Saturday night at the Mazatzal Hotel & Casino. When I think back to my high school days (and with each year that passes the memories of those days become more and more of a blur), the three recollections I have that are still with me are: it was held in our high school gym, you didn’t go if you didn’t have a date (that was a hard and fast rule and there was a lot of pressure associated with it) and Percy Sledge’s “When a Man Loves a Woman” must have been spun on the DJ’s turntable at least five times throughout the evening. Thank God for that. Sledge’s soulful love song allowed all of us guys who had absolutely no rhythm and two left feet to get out onto the dance floor.

Pioneers planted as season dictated
Christopher Creek’s neighboring pioneer families of a hundred years ago knew when it was time. When the oak trees budded out the size of a squirrel’s ear it was time to get to planting. Lou Kohl already had his preparations completed having run his mule with the two-bottom plow up and down Third Meadow so to be ready for the time. It was important to get his bean crop in as soon as permissible. The growing season in the mountains was mighty short. Ole Man Kiser who had a place half a mile from the Bowman place up Christopher Creek was ready, having plowed the upper meadow for his crops. Kiser’s crop was corn and barley. Next fall his crop will also require further processing before it is ready for market. Out on the old Gordon Canyon wagon road, the same story was being acted out by the Allenbaughs and the other small outfits. Similarly, they too knew to wait until it was a good chance there would be no frost.

Susie’s Q Barbecue will provide food and drinks. The range is located 2.2 miles south of the Mazatzal Casino east of Beeline. The best advice is to follow the signs.

The Giggling Marlin watering hole in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico claims to be the home of the Skip and Go Naked cocktail. That claim is dubious, but in Pine there’s no debate that the Riff Raff Club is behind an annual “Naked Yard Sale.” The yard sale is held to help raise money for various projects in both Pine and Strawberry. This year, the money will fund the Riff Raff’s holiday project. The community group began collecting for its 2015 yard sale on April 15 and will continue to do so from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. each Saturday until the sale in June, which corresponds with the Strawberry Festival. Yard sale items may be dropped off at Bishop Storage directly behind Pine Fudge and Ice Cream. Units 11 and 12 will be used for storage. But don’t show up in your birthday suit, the sale is dubbed “naked” because no clothing items are accepted or sold. Garden Walk set
The Rim Area Garden Club will host its 2015 Garden Walk from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, May 9 in Pine, Payson and Strawberry. New this year there will also be a plant sale featuring, bulbs, herbs, flowers and more.

The Jake saga continues
I told you how friendly Jake is, well just to prove that, we have a UPS driver by the name of Geri who loves all the dogs that she comes across in her deliveries, she keeps doggie bones handy. Jake knows that too. Geri tells us that when she stopped to make a delivery at the Double D, she had an extra passenger, Jake had jumped into the truck looking for those doggie bones he knows that she has. Since Geri knows Jake’s owner, she proceeded to drive him home. The motto of the episode is that wherever there is a handout, Jake is right there. By the way, Jake did show up at dominoes on Wednesday, as usual he just howled at the door and the ladies let him in. After he greeted everyone, got his doggie biscuit, he made himself right at home under the table. He was content to just hang out with us. He did look longingly at the dessert table a few times, he must have a sweet tooth, but he is so well disciplined, all we had to say to him is, ‘No, Jake” and he backs away. I know that the ladies will be buying more doggie treats for Jake and I think he knows that too.

Each time I think back upon my childhood days it’s like entering a time machine. “Time marches on,” they say — and they’re not kidding! If you live long enough you make a startling discovery: The world you grew up in no longer exists. I think you’ll see what I mean as I draw you a few rough word pictures of the street on which I grew to age 10. Going to be fun for me, Johnny. Hope you enjoy it too. We moved to 53 Brook Street, Staten Island, N.Y. a month after I was born. And you know what’s amazing? The old house is still there! Want to see it? Go to Google maps, enter the address, zoom into street view, and there it is! Amazing! Hasn’t changed much — paint’s a different color and the once wooden front porch is now concrete. However, if you could see the view from that front porch as I saw it your turn back when I first stood on it you’d see something so unlikely you’d think you were on a movie set. Instead of a black asphalt street filled with parked cars as it is today, you’d see Tom Garrett a cobblestone street and trolley car tracks! By the time I was 2 though, both tracks and cobblestones were gone. It was my first lesson in practical history. You know what’s odd though? Even 10 years later, as buses rolled up the street “headed for the car barns” I didn’t have a clue that the “car” in that phrase meant trolley cars. And when I visited the old neighborhood later in life, they were still calling them the “car barns” even though there hadn’t been a trolley car in them for more than 20 years. Ah, but the pushcarts! The streets of 1930s New York overflowed with pushcarts. Not a day went by when less than six or eight of them trundled by 53 Brook Street with its owner calling out his wares. One pushcart owner whose voice I can still hear as clear as a bell was a sunbrowned, friendly, pointy-hatted Italian who came by right at 10 in the morning on any rain-free day, pushing his huge load of shoelaces and singing out, “Two pair for a nick! Two pair for a nick!” His arrival at 10 every morning was so predictable that people actually set their clocks by him. In fact, everybody on the block called him “the clock man,” which confused me; but then my older brother Frank explained it. Frank was handy to have around. He knew everything. One morning Mom and I were standing on the front porch as lightning flashed, thunder boomed, rain pounded down on Brook Street, and the runoff almost spilled over onto the sidewalk. I noticed that the high-heaped shoelace pushcart hadn’t come by that day, and realized that he never came by on rainy days. “Where’s the two-for-a-nickel guy?” I asked Mom. “Doesn’t he make any money on rainy days?” Mom chuckled. “Don’t you believe it! Want to bet he has a place to go when it’s pouring down like this?” One rainy day a few years later I spotted him down by the ferry terminal at the northern tip of Staten Island, safely tucked under cover and still hawking his wares: “Two pair for a nick!” Ah, yes! Those old pushcarts. Big or small, gaily painted or gray with age, they brought almost anything you could think of right to your front door. But no one ever rang your doorbell. That would have been considered rude in those days. People ringing doorbells, pestering you on the phone, or sending you ads in the mail is a later-day invention. I don’t think we’ve much gained by it. Do you? Pushcarts were great. Without ever leaving your house you could buy almost anything you needed — dirt cheap. I started to make a list of the ones we saw all the time and realized that this was going to take another column. So-o-o-o ... See you next week.

The first meeting for 2015 was Friday, April 17 at the Star Valley Fire Station. The topics discussed included the Auxiliary’s first fundraiser of the year — a pancake breakfast to be held on Memorial Day weekend, Saturday, May 23. This year the breakfast will be held at the Star Valley Fire Station. Pancakes will be coming off the grill at 7:30 a.m. and will continue until 10 a.m. or until the pancakes run out. The cost will stay at a reasonable $5 per plate and advance tickets will be available from any Fireflies member. The menu will be pancakes, sausage links, orange juice, and strawberries and whipped cream for those who like their pancakes like a dessert. Wow, that sounds like great eating.

The local weather report has predicted rain for the past few weeks, but there has not been even a drop. The clouds have been up there and looked as if they would open up with welcoming rain, but to no avail. So, the rain has been predicted again for this week, I am keeping my fingers crossed, maybe even my toes. The months of May and June are normally dry months so a bit of rain this month would be great. We have bought tomato plants but have not planted them yet, they are still in their pots and we bring them in at night and back out again in the morning in the sun. Tonto Village tends to be at least 5 to 8 degrees cooler than Payson and the mornings the are chilly enough to destroy the tomato plants. village I still want to plant a few more veggies, but I hesitate to plant any until around the middle of May. I just get itchy fingers to get my hands dirty with garden soil and then get to watch them grow. What a great feeling.

The 2015 Pine Strawberry Fuel Reduction roadside brush, leaf and needle pickup program is on its way to being fully funded and committee members are ready to begin pickups on Sunday, May 17 in Arrowhead Estates. It is being stressed that the pickup is for do-it-yourself property owners who do not have a truck or trailer to use for removal of thinned brush and needles. It is being emphasized this year, “No contractor brush piles will be picked up.” Last year there were instances of homeowners hiring private contractors to clear their property and then leaving enormous piles to collect and drop at the landfill. At a Portals III cul-de-sac last summer, the crew lost valuable time picking up two full loads of brush that two homeowners had hired contractors to clear.

special to the roundup
When Payson Unified School District employee Barbara Sturlin heard that the KNXV-TV ABC 15 newsroom would take DECA marketing and business club students through its studios, she contacted Joe Parone and Jeff Simon. Parone, the DECA advisor and vice principal immediately arranged for the students to have a private tour of the newsroom. Tour guides directed students throughout the entire facility and even allowed them to stand on the news set and give a weather report. “Students were amazed by the behind-the-scenes work that goes into the production of the show,” said Parone. The marketing students got to examine the visual elements and design that went into building the sets, including the color schemes, type of proper lighting, and each set’s logo design. Learning about ABC 15’s branding fit perfectly with what the DECA sales and marketing students were learning at the time. “Going on tours like this really connects my class work to the real world,” said Veronica Volk, a PHS DECA student. As an added bonus, the DECA students then met with the biggest sales executives of the US Airways Center. The venue is home of the Phoenix Suns and also hosts events such as Disney on Ice and

Payson High School DECA marketing and business club students recently toured the newsroom at KNXV-TV in Phoenix. Walking With Dinosaurs. During the tour, students visited the VIP sections of the arena and backstage to the practice facilities that the Suns use throughout the season. To wrap up their visit to US Airways Center, the students had a one-on-one question and answer session with Travis
Apple, the vice president of sales. Apple explained to the students the three things he looks for in an applicant: passion, work ethic, and coachability. As they left, the DECA students stated their time with Apple had been one of the best question and answer sessions they had experienced all year.

We need to act now to protect these irreplaceable and beautiful species, before it’s too late.” At the meeting, Trout Unlimited unveiled a new campaign, the Southwest Native Trout Initiative (SWNTI), aimed at protecting these Southwest natives through ramped-up restoration, reconnection, reintroduction and monitoring efforts. For years, tribes, federal and state agencies including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service, the Departments of Game and Fish in New Mexico, Arizona and the Colorado Parks and Wildlife have carried out successful restoration and protection projects, often in partnership with local Trout Unlimited chapters, like the one in Payson. The conference covered topics including: • Increasing the “resilience” of native trout to climate change and drought by reconnecting watersheds and creating larger, more interconnected popu-
lations. • Expanding stream restoration projects with grassroots chapters taking the lead. • Conducting research on climate change impacts and trout genetics in conjunction with state agency scientists and universities. “For anglers, Southwest native trout provide abundant

Fishing groups launch campaign to save endangered trout Scientists from conservation groups such as Trout Unlimited and federal and state wildlife agencies gathered in Phoenix on April 23 at the annual Southwest Native and Wild Trout Conference. The southwest’s native Gila and Apache trout both face threats from climate change, water diversions, non-native trout and other pressures. Arizona Game and Fish has plans to reintroduce the Gila trout on a stretch of Haigler Creek. The event is co-hosted by the Arizona Game & Fish Department and Trout Unlimited. Although many people do not associate Arizona with trout, the cool headwater streams of Arizona and New Mexico once teemed with native trout. In recent decades, these once vibrant fish populations have plummeted due to drought, climate change, wildfires and the continued spread of nonnative species. Apache trout historically occurred only in the streams of the upper Salt River and upper Little Colorado River Watersheds. The range of Gila trout stretched from the Upper Gila River in New Mexico through the Blue and San Francisco Rivers along the Arizona-New Mexico border and west to the Verde River in Arizona. The Rio Grande cutthroat trout ranged from the high mountain headwaters of the Rio Grande, Pecos and Canadian riv-

A man accused of stealing scrap ammunition from his employer and selling it has been allowed to take back his guilty plea and will instead face a jury in June. Clayton Sopeland initially pleaded guilty to theft in October, admitting that he took some 15,000 rounds of ammunition considered scrap from Advance Tactical Armament Concepts, which manufactures HPR Ammunition. Art Lloyd, his lawyer, said Sopeland thought he had permission to take the scrap, but he did not. When it came to sentencing, Lloyd asked Superior Court Judge Peter Cahill if Sopeland could withdraw his plea. Sopeland said the Gila County Attorney’s Office recommended designating the crime as a felony, with 30 days in jail. But Lloyd said Sopeland was under the impression the crime would be left an undesignated fel-
ony and he would not go to jail so long as he did well on probation. “The deputy county attorney’s recommendation was a breach of the agreement made between counsel given cause for the motion to withdraw the plea agreement,” Lloyd wrote. The GCAO balked at Sopeland’s request to rescind his guilty plea, saying just because he had “buyer’s remorse” about taking the plea, the court should not let him get out of it. Cahill agreed and denied Sopeland’s request. Cahill noted that the GCAO had withdrawn its request for jail time, so he saw no reason to withdraw the plea. Lloyd asked Cahill to reconsider. Again, Cahill denied the request to withdraw the plea. In March, the case went to the Arizona Court of Appeals Division II. Lloyd argued that because Cahill had not accepted the plea or entered it into the record, either party could revoke it. Furthermore, Lloyd
said ATAC’s owner and founder Jim Antich had been allowed to make disparaging remarks about Sopeland although he had previously admitted the scrap had no value and he was not seeking restitution. Because the scrap had no admitted value, Lloyd argued it should be just a misdemeanor. “If it’s not worth more than $1,000, it has to be a misdemeanor for theft,” Lloyd said at a November hearing. “We are only pleading to theft. We are not pleading to sales or any of the other stuff that they alleged.” Antich did say that while the scrap had no value, Sopeland got money for it. The Court of Appeals found that because Cahill did not accept the plea agreement, Sopeland could revoke his plea. The panel reversed Sopeland’s initial guilty plea and Cahill subsequently granted the request to withdraw from the plea agreement. Cahill set a trial for 9:30 a.m. June 3 in Globe.

At 5-foot-6, Hunter Paul is the shortest player on Payson High’s baseball roster. But the sophomore’s growth on the mound represents a giant reason the biggest question for the Longhorns young team entering this season has been answered.
Of all the questions surrounding a team featuring just three seniors, the biggest centered on pitching. How would a team with very few innings of varsity experience fare this spring? But like a fastball whizzing by an opposing batter, with each passing game Payson’s staff keeps coming up with the right answers. Pretty darned good. Paul turned in his second consecu-
tive brilliant performance with a threehit shutout of visiting Eagar Round Valley on Tuesday night in a 4-0 victory. Thanks in large part to its strong pitching, Payson improved to 7-2 in its last nine regular-season games. Three of the team’s four shutouts have come in their last four games. Two of those came from Paul, who also blanked Lakeside Blue Ridge 3-0 on April 13. Against the Elks on Tuesday, Paul
threw strikes all night. He issued no walks and struck out three in seven innings, facing just one batter over the minimum thanks to a double play and a batter being picked off. “This was the second really great outing in a row from Hunter,” said Payson coach Brian Young. “Both outings he has been at about 80 pitches in seven innings, which is just very effective. It means he isn’t getting up there
and wasting a lot of pitches or throwing a lot of balls.” He isn’t overpowering batters, instead inducing plenty of ground balls. “Of the 21 outs he registered, 13 came on ground balls,” Young said. “He is giving our defense a chance to make plays. He is gaining confidence and really learning how to control the

Jewel Johnson was 2-for-3 and drove in four runs. In addition to a single, she belted her first home run over the fence. Anilese Hayes went 3-for-3 with two RBI and Aubrielle Paulson was also 3-for-3. Payson closes the regular season with games at Fountain Hills at 6 p.m. Tuesday and at Globe at 5 p.m. Wednesday. The top eight seeds for the Division 3 state tournament, which begins on May 2, receive a first-round bye, so the Longhorns should open their pursuit of the first title in program history with a second-round contest on Wednesday, May 6 at Rose Mofford Softball Complex in Phoenix.

New bed and breakfast getaway opens in Pine by
Alexis Bechman
roundup staff reporter
On the north end of Pine sits a large red home with a wraparound porch and plenty of flowers for the elk. Sitting on one of the earliest sites developed in the area is a new bed and breakfast, the Beeline Guest House. With wood paneled walls, vaulted ceilings, broad panes of glass yielding views of the surrounding mountains, the inn has a clean, woodsy feel. That is thanks to innkeeper Patrick Moore, who is both tidy and keen on mixing local touches with eclectic art pieces. In the common living room, the walls are decorated with art from local artists, a large, knotted tree trunk serves as the coffee table and a pair of colorful chairs from India sit in the corner. Moore calls the eclectic look “rustic upscale.” But the home was not so put together when Moore first saw it. For eight years on the way to his Pine vacation house, Moore had passed the home, which sits just south of the Texaco station on the west side of Highway 87. The stately two-story home sat on the market for two years, neglected and covered in vines. Finally, Moore and his husband Bob Gleason decided to sell their Pine home and buy the property.
Moore said he was ready to give up the corporate world and settle into a simpler, happier existence. He had worked for more than 25 years in the aviation field and two years as a warranty administrator. In August, they took over ownership and went to work clearing vines, which he said were choking several large cottonwoods out front. They painted, built a new rock wall and cleared the yard. Inside, things were in good shape since the former owners had remodeled it with high-end touches, including a large kitchen with granite counter tops and all new appliances. All Moore had to do was give it a good cleaning and decorate. They took their first guests in December. The inn has four bedrooms. The two queen rooms are named after flowers, the Sunflower and Iris. Those rooms share a common bathroom, but when Moore sees one get reserved, he blocks out the other so guests don’t have to worry about sharing the bathroom. The two rooms with king beds are named after the ponderosa and juniper trees and have private bathrooms. The largest room, the Ponderosa, also known as the honeymoon suite, has a Jacuzzi tub with an old hand pump repurposed as the water

The bed and breakfast has four bedrooms – two with queen beds and two with king-size beds. spout, a walk-in shower with a river rock floor, hammered copper sinks and barn wood repurposed as wainscoting. A wood plaque on each guest room door features the accompanying tree or flower with a
matching smaller wood key ring. Those were made next door at the Westwood Gallery of Fine Art. Moore picked up several more pieces of art from the gallery and even had the owner, Ed Farnum, make the inn’s sign, which fea-
tures a basket weave. That is an ode to Gleason, who when not traveling for work, can be found sitting on a rocking chair on the front porch weaving baskets. Moore said he wanted the inn to have a homey feel that put
guests at ease. Guests can use the large living room to watch TV or the grazing elk, which munch on the tulips in the evening hours. Sitting in the heart of Pine, guests can stroll the main drag’s shops and restaurants. On holiday and festival weekends, they are in a prime spot to people watch and check out the visiting artisans’ wares, Moore said. Moore and Gleason live behind the inn in the former garage. Other buildings include an old settler’s cabin and a worn, listing barn. Besides being the inn’s landscaper, decorator and cleaner, Moore is also the cook, a skill he didn’t get to highlight at his last job. Today, Moore delights in creating custom breakfasts for guests. Options range from the health-conscious to the extravagant and decadent. He can accommodate vegetarian, vegan and other diets or food allergies. His specialty is the Beeline Breakfast Bread, which tastes similar to carrot cake. During the summer, in-season months, rooms range from $90$175 a night. Pets and children are not allowed.

New limousine/taxi owner has goal of giving back Alexis Bechman

A Payson man given a unique opportunity to start his own business is finding a way to pay it forward. Anthony Williams launched Absolute Limousine just a few weeks ago, a full-service limo service that also offers taxi rides in a double stretch white Lincoln.

pick up another limo, this time a Cadillac, in New Jersey, and add it to the fleet soon. Williams offers limo service for parties, weddings and prom. He also makes short trips if someone needs a ride, much like a taxi, but instead of a yellow car, Williams uses a limo for taxi rides. But Williams doesn’t just want to shuttle people around town. He offers low-cost rides for local vets to the Veterans Affairs hospitals in the Valley and Prescott. He also plans to hire disabled employees to give them an opportunity to build their resumé. “My goal is to employ six peo-

ple,” he said. “I worked really hard for this and I want to pass it forward.” Williams, who has learning disabilities, said if it wasn’t for a former boss, he wouldn’t be where he is today. Williams worked for that man hanging Christmas lights in New Jersey. When Williams’ father passed away, he moved to Mesa to be with his mother. She decided to relocate to Payson and Williams followed. He would still fly to New Jersey to help hang lights during the holiday season. Impressed with his work ethic, Williams’ boss offered to mentor him and help start Absolute Limousine. Williams said he has always wanted to run his own business and he is putting everything into making this work. Sociable and reliable, Williams said he loves working with clients. Once he gets the Cadillac limo from New Jersey, he plans to use that for taxi service while reserv-

can collection as well as ink cartridge and metal recycling. Some think we just need help with walking dogs or petting cats, which of course we always welcome — but not all our volunteer positions involve direct contact with animals or even being at the shelter, and they are positions we value just as much. There are many things you can do to keep our organization doing what it does best, and with the recycling program you can not only help us, you can help out the community at large. Keep our staff focusing on compassionate animal care, the real point to all these fundraising programs, and come by the Humane Society or go online for a volunteer application. Every helping hand helps out an animal in need ... because they matter. Adoptable Pets
Following are just two of the many wonderful pets available for adoption at the Humane Society of Central Arizona. All pets are already spayed or neutered and current on vaccinations.

Why, hello there. The pleasure is mine! I am a delightful girl who enjoys the finer things in life: comfy beds, soft blankets and delicious food; you know, the works! I am on the calmer side and I adore getting attention! When I came to the shelter I wasn’t in the greatest of health, but the lovely staff helped nurse me back to health. I’m a chatty girl who isn’t afraid to ask for some TLC. I get along well with other cats and I love kids.

Pitching becoming a strength for Horns From page 1B game.” His teammates have been flawless in the field behind him the last two games. “Our defense was just outstanding,” Young said. “We had only three strikeouts, so our defense converted 18 outs.” Third baseman Taran Sarnowski and shortstop Ruben Estrada saw plenty of action and they each gobbled up all five balls hit their way. And first baseman Ryan Ricke did his part, as well. “Taran and Ruben were really strong on the left side of the infield,” Young said. “Ryan did an outstanding job at first base picking some throws out of the dirt. I love when we play good, clean baseball with no errors.” Estrada provided all the offense the Longhorns needed when he led off the bottom of the first by blasting a pitch over the left field fence for a home run. The Longhorns collected eight hits. David Evans and Logan Morgan both went 2-for-3 to lead the way. Paul doubled in the third and scored on a triple by Sarnowski. “It was a good night all around,” Young said. “We probably could have used a little more offense but we had such good pitching and defense that it wasn’t a problem. Eight hits was plenty for the game situation, but we have to keep working to improve offensively as we know the end of the season is going to have us facing some very

What’s more important is their 9-7 record and No. 14 standing in the Division 3 power rankings as of Wednesday, which gives them a solid grip on one of the 24 berths for the state tournament, which begins on May 2 in Surprise. The Longhorns close the home schedule against Show Low at 6 o’clock tonight in a game preceded by senior night activities honoring the three 12th-graders on the team — David Evans, Hunter Lane and Logan Morgan.

hunt, which is in its first week, for the male turkey or gobbler in a number of units above the Mogollon Rim. It is designated an “over the counter” hunt where 10to 17-year-old youth can purchase a tag for $23 without any special lottery draw. Arizona does require the NRA hunter safety course for those in the 10-13 year age group, but encourages all hunters to take the valuable gun safety course. There are a wide range of junior hunts in Arizona where families can enjoy the outdoors and hunt big game during a specified season. This can be a situation where dads can teach about the outdoors, the values of hunting, and spending quality time with the family, which is so important. Jordyn and Will Kile are two young hunters who have taken the gun safety course and were accompanied by their dad Mark
on a turkey hunt in Unit 4 A. On opening morning in the pre-dawn, the woods were ringing with the gobble of many bearded turkeys. Jordyn and Will were in position as Dad began to call and two toms came strutting in to the call. When the gobblers were within range two shots rang out in the woods and two young hunters had their first turkeys. Jordyn at 13 years old has already taken a deer, elk, javelina and bear on earlier archery hunts with her bow while accompanied by her dad. For Will, this was his second successful hunt. A month earlier he shot a javelina in southern Arizona. The Kiles enjoy hunting and camping together as a family in the wilderness of the Arizona high country. Spending time with family is an investment in the well-being of the next generation. This weekend enjoy the Arizona outdoors, God’s creation.
