SWAT teams in all-night standoff Violent man barricades himself despite talks & tear gas Alexis Bechman
roundup staff reporter
An overnight standoff Friday involving a small army of police left a Payson home with nearly every window broken out and soaked with gasoline, and the homeowner in jail. It took both Payson and a Valley Department of Public Safety SWAT teams, several bottles of tear gas and hours and hours of negotiations to get George Guess Dodson, 49, into custody, George Dodson according to Police Chief Don Engler. As a precaution, police evacuated some neighbors in the 500 block of East Wade and told others there to stay in their homes. No one, besides Dodson, was injured. Later, police learned Dodson had a lengthy criminal record — including manslaughter. Dodson’s history includes convictions for
prohibited possessor of a firearm, assault, criminal damage, threatening and intimidating with intent to damage property, disorderly conduct, failure to appear, aggravated DUI, possession of drug paraphernalia, aggravated assault and theft, according to online court records. On Friday night, Dodson went to a home in the 600 block of East Granite Dells where he reportedly knew several people. Dodson got into an altercation with someone at the home. He reportedly picked up a knife and tried to stab a man with it. The man fended Dodson off using a stick, Engler said. Dodson left, but came back later that night, this time with a handgun. Dodson, reportedly intoxicated, pointed the gun at several people and even pulled the trigger, but the weapon did not fire, according to police. The police were called around 10:20 p.m. and two officers found

and erect a six-foot fence around its unfenced property and gate it. • Cleaning — brush shall be removed from the area of the trees; tires shall be stacked neatly in their current location; all portable toilets shall be moved to a single parcel; a tool box will be removed; discarded fencing and materials unrelated to the operation of the business will also be removed, as will debris underneath a storage tank on the property. • Parking and storage — The company’s trucks will be parked inside the fenced area at night and all tools and equipment will be contained within the fenced property; gates will be closed from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. The company cannot park or wash its vehicles in the roadway and when parked, they must be on gravel, which can be eas-
ily moved and disposed of, to mitigate the potential contamination by leaking fluids. • The company’s portable toilets and vehicles must be stored on only one of its properties and the toilets can only be washed on that property.

If the agreement is violated the county can again force a hearing with the company.
Corralling corporations Constitutional change advocated to stop dark money by
Michele Nelson
roundup staff reporter
Across the nation, U.S. citizens have struggled to find a response to the Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United decision that declared corporations have the same right as people to participate in elections — including secretly spending money to elect candidates. Activist Dianne Post recently told the Payson Democratic Women’s Club that a constitutional amendment is the answer. Post said only a constitutional amendment could change the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision, since it turned on the court’s finding corporations have the same free speech right as people. She and other Arizonans have decided to join with the movement, Move to Amend (https://movetoamend.org).

A man who thought he had long ago regained his right to own a gun inherited his stepfather’s gun. Not wanting to have a gun in the house, he promptly went to a pawn shop and sold it for $100. So now he’s going to prison for a year. The bizarre case demonstrates how crimes can haunt you — even if you straighten out and toe the line for decades. Superior Court Judge Peter Cahill said the whole ordeal was “really unfortunate.” Nonetheless, he sentenced Brett Layne DeCardoville, 46, to one year in prison — which will cost the taxpayers perhaps $45,000 — more than it would cost to send him to Harvard. But that was the shortest amount of prison time he could sentence under state statute. Turns out, DeCardoville did time for a felony decades ago. He wrongly assumed that after 25 years his right to possess a firearm would automatically be restored. It wasn’t. When DeCardoville’s stepfather fell ill and his mother was at the hospital tending to him, several “undesirables” were visiting
See our ad and upcoming events on page 6B
their home and items were going missing, DeCardoville told a probation officer. After his stepfather died, DeCardoville decided to sell his gun at a pawn shop in Star Valley. DeCardoville said he did not intend to break the law and was trying to do the right, legal thing and sell it at a pawn shop. On April 21, DeCardoville sold the gun for $100. However, a review of his criminal history revealed a court had sentenced him to prison in 1988 for several felonies. He was released in 1995. DeCardoville admitted he was a felon, but said his lawyer said his rights would be automatically restored after 25 years. DeCardoville never followed up as he “never had the occasion to own/use a weapon until the passing of his stepfather,” wrote a probation officer. “I am sorry for wasting everybody’s time and resources on this matter,” DeCardoville wrote the court. “If there was any other way for me to dispose of the weapon I would have chosen that way over this.” Cahill gave DeCardoville the absolute minimum sentence he could, sentencing him to one year in prison. “I am happy with what you gave me and I am good with that,” DeCardoville said as he left the courtroom.
“We believe corporations are not people and money is not free speech,” said Post. This belief reflects Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens dissenting decision that said, “... corporations have no consciences, no beliefs, no feelings, no thoughts, no desires. Corporations help structure and facilitate the activities of human beings, to be sure, and their ‘personhood’ often serves as a useful legal fiction. But they are not themselves members of “We the People” by whom and for whom our Constitution was established.” MTA hopes to solve the problem of private and public corporations, such as APS, donating thousands of dollars to candidates that benefit the business by focusing on 75 percent of the states passing initiatives requesting the constitutional amendment. She said Congress could also pass an initiative on a two-thirds vote, but quipped — “not in our lifetime” — since incumbents benefit from the current system. She said the states could also convene a constitutional convention — “Which no one wants because we don’t know what would

The Mogollon Monster and his handler, Parks, Recreation and Tourism Director Cameron Davis, put in an appearance at Friday’s Payson Unified School District Health Fair at Julia Randall Elementary School. Kids got a monstrous handshake in a day designed to promote exercise and healthy eating habits. The Mogollon Monster eats a very diverse diet and gets lots of exercise, so it made sense that he attended. Of course, it’s also possible Cameron was really just promoting Payson’s wildly popular Mogollon Monster Mudder obstacle course on June 5 and 6, which will draw hundreds of contestants from all over the country.

Dodson behind the home. Dodson ran off and barricaded himself inside his home several blocks away. Officers tried for some time to get Dodson out, but he was very confrontational, threatening to hurt both himself and any officer that came near the home, Engler said. “He said if we tried to get in the home he would kill everyone,” he said. Dodson poured gasoline throughout the home and warned that he would light it. He also put flammable liquid in a bottle, lit it and threw it out into the yard of the small, blue home, which has a large dirt yard surrounding it and a low fence near the street. Officers used a hose from a nearby fire truck to put the flames out. Several times, SWAT team members threw chemical munitions or tear gas into the home to drive Dodson out, but he refused. At some point, Dodson finally agreed to leave the home. But then he hung up the phone and would not

exit, Engler said. After working with Dodson throughout the night, Engler decided at around 5 a.m. that his team of 13 officers needed a rest. So he called on the DPS SWAT team to help take over. Some 20 officers arrived from the Valley. They broke through several windows in the home and front door and tossed more tear gas inside. Around 9:30 a.m., Dodson finally came out and officers arrested him without incident. Engler said Dodson had flashed several weapons at officers throughout the ordeal, including a handgun, knife and rifle with a scope on it. After medics briefly assessed him, police booked Dodson into jail on charges of aggravated assault, misconduct involving weapons, prohibited possession of a weapon, aggravated assault on a police officer and unlawful means of transportation. Police made nine other arrests Provided photo over the weekend, but most were for lesser crimes, including shoplifting Payson police with help from a DPS SWAT team captured and DUI. an assault suspect after a long standoff.

happen,” she added. So far, 13 states have called for a constitutional amendment, mostly states that want to limit federal powers, ban abortion or take other controversial measures. She noted that states like Arizona have no state laws requiring corporations such as APS to disclose donations. In fact, APS has refused to admit it ran independent expenditure campaigns to help favored candidates for the Arizona Corporation Commission or the attorney general’s office in the last election. Although state lawmakers did not require disclosure of the source of independent expenditure campaigns, individual cities in Arizona have passed resolutions. “You have the resolution that was done in Jerome,” said Post. “They did it in 2012. Next one passed in Flagstaff. It was passed
by the city council. The third one passed in Tucson — (that) initiative is much more forceful. It introduced measures against dark money in the city council to continue until the constitutional amendment is passed.” Post said state Senator Debbie McCune Davis has tilted the windmill of Citizens United with several proposed bills, but her bills have never escaped committee. Currently, corporate donors in Arizona merely have to file a statement saying they have not coordinated their efforts with any candidates. Post admitted citizen groups nationwide have struggled to find a single answer to the problem. “We do not all agree. The ACLU does not agree that money is speech,” she said. “The League of Women Voters has not yet come to a decision on what they are going to support.” It all hinges on what defines free speech. MTA believes money is not
free speech, but the corporations argue that buying ads represents a form of free speech. Critics of Citizens United point to examples like the APS effort to influence the election of the commissioners who set their rates. Shortly after the election, the giant utility company asked the newly elected ACC commissioners to approve an added $21 monthly charge for newly installed solar panels. APS says the solar customers don’t pay their fair share for use of the existing electrical grid. Solar advocates say the company is trying to pull the shades on solar competition. APS will now go in front of the Corporation Commission to argue for a solar rate increase. After the last two elections, most of the commissioners on the board have benefited from the support of independent expenditure campaigns funded in part by APS. If the board approves the rate hike and citizens file a lawsuit, the ACC will be defended by the attorney general,
who also reportedly benefited by dark money support from APS. As it happens, the solar companies also paid for independent expenditure ads attacking candidates that APS supported — although they spent far less money. It is this scenario Post and others hope to eliminate. To get involved in the Move to Amend movement Post suggests going to the MTA website and finding out how to get involved. Their goal is 500,000 signatures, they have 386,477 so far. To sign the petition please go to: http://movetoamend.nationbuilder.com/petition.

Payson Roundup LOCAL Tuesday, April 28, 2015
These girls just wanna have fun
Payson High School students on Saturday celebrated Prom. Photographer DJ Craig captured these images of the fun, with a selection of music that even included some electronic swing. The dance had a “Great Gatsby” theme. At right, King Trevor Anderson and Queen Ali Tenney show how it’s done. Ali is not only on the sizzling hot Longhorns softball team, but sings in the choir and is salutatorian. Trevor is a track and wrestling star. The Mazatzal Casino ballroom was afloat in balloons and feathers. The dance started at eight and ended at midnight, when all these lovelies turned back into Cinderellas.
Payson Choral Society dreams big Payson Choral Society Director Daria Mason has big dreams — a whole new set of risers. “The current risers are approximately 28-years old,” she said. “The sides are bent, they are heavy, they are breaking down.” While the Choral Society has made a couple of piecemeal riser donations, those have only added to the confusion of the risers. “Choral Society had bought one section a few years back to expand the seating capacity so now additionally we have risers that do not fit together securely and do not match aesthetically and are aging,” she said. Because of the immense success of the Christmas Choral Society program, “A Christmas Carol,” the group just needs a good showing at the Saturday, May 2 and Sunday, May 3 performances to both fund four scholarships for middle and high school students and buy the new risers for the high school music program. “With the success of our Christmas concert we felt we could do more for the schools,” said Mason. “This (the risers) is a need that will last another 28 years. The new risers are lighter, easier to tear down and set up by only two people, additionally they match the band risers and stages the school already has.” Normally, the ticket sales from concerts barely cover the costs of the concerts themselves, said John Landino, president of the Choral Society. “Our concert expenses each year add up to around $24,000 for music, musicians, piano tuning, insurance,

Concert society members add … dues … so we rely on contributions from the community for the balance of our budget and to provide the money for the donations that we make through scholarships
and to the school arts programs.” The Spring Choral Society Concert not only features great music by the adults, but it’s a chance for the community to see the scholarship winners show their stuff. Each year, the Payson Choral Society gives $500 each to two middle school students and $1,000 each to two high school students. This year, Bobbi Beaugureau and Cameron Middaugh won the middle school auditions. Rio Chavez and Crystal Kubby won the high school auditions. The Choral Society grants these scholarships to aspiring musicians to spend on any classes, lessons or equipment that will further their musical career.

Rachael Brundage (right) and Thomas Walling played starring roles in the Payson Choral Society’s staging of “Scrooge.” The play raised enough money that the group hopes to double its contributions to the high school’s music program to about $15,000 — if they can get a good turnout at the spring concerts on May 2 and May 3.

Things that go ‘snap’ in the night
wide awake, he pondered what it was that he had chanced upon. By the growl, it must have been something pretty big, with a large lung capacity. It also didn’t run away, like you would think any wild animal would. He mentally went down the list of things that it could have been, checking them off one by one, until he had eliminated everything that he could think of. Then he wondered… could it have been a Bigfoot? He didn’t know a lot about Bigfoot behavior, or if they even existed, but it was the only thing that he could think of that could have been large enough to do what this creature did. After he told me his story, I advised him that he was probably correct. This type of deep growl with the low frequency “vibration” feeling, along with the breaking of sticks and branches, is known Bigfoot/Sasquatch territorial behavior, which has been reported many times over the years, from all over North America. It happened in an area historically known to have Sasquatch activity, to a lone late-night traveler, and had the desired result … the human went away. He probably inadvertently triggered the aggressive response by accidentally walking right up to where the creature was hiding in the darkness, and then urinating. Sasquatches, like many other animals,
are believed to use urine, and sometimes scat, to mark territorial boundaries. When the human came up and started “marking his territory” right in front of him, the Sasquatch felt challenged, and he reacted accordingly. Had the human somehow pursued the confrontation, things might have “gotten interesting.” As it was, the human quickly left the area and never actually saw anything, as in most Sasquatch encounters. In Sasquatch research, some researchers deliberately use urinating to mark territory and other various provoking behaviors as a way to try to elicit a response. I have used this technique myself. Sometimes it works. The response might be a loud, long scream or series of screams that literally rattle your bones, or it may be a barrage of rocks. They generally try not to actually hit you, just intimidate you, although they have been known to hit and damage vehicles. Or you may check your “spot” the next morning and find that one of them snuck in while you were sleeping and urinated in the same place you did. How do you know? More of it, and it has a much stronger odor. They might even reward you with a large pile of fresh scat, placed right on top of your wet spot. Now that’s telling us what they think of us, isn’t it?

Ceremony honors far-reaching service of four Payson vets Service included Vietnam, 82nd Airborne Division, Guam by

Michele Nelson/Roundup
A local group held a ceremony to honor veterans’ service. In this case, former Marine Joe Juharo (right), and Payson Police Chief Don Engler (left) were among those who gathered to honor James Tye, Ted and Steven Adams, and Rafael Lopez.
Payson Hospice Compassus Marketing Director Becky Friend stood in the background as former Marine Joe Juharos officiated a ceremony recognizing four veterans at the Frontier House in mid-April. But this ceremony was different. None of the vets were under Hospice’s care. Friend said the recognition ceremony serves as a conduit for the community to celebrate any vet’s service. “This is a National Hospice program, but we at Hospice Compassus in Payson are presenting this to the community … you can see why,” she said pointing to the four vets at the front of the room. Each sat with pride as friends and family gathered in the small living room of the Frontier House to cheer on James Tye, who served in the Navy during the Vietnam War and Rafael Lopez
who served for two decades in the 82nd Airborne Division of the U.S. Army. Yet this ceremony also recognized a family’s service. Grand father Clearance Adams had served in WWI. His son, Ted, had served in Guam with the Air Force during WWII. Ted’s sons Steven and Mike both served in the Vietnam War. The ceremony included Juharos’ trusted group of retired service men and women that represent each of the branches of the military honored during the presentation. As with all of the ceremonies, the hospice chaplain Harley Faber on guitar and Lois Atkin on violin provided the music that opened and closed the event. The Frontier House graciously provided refreshments after the ceremony. For more information on the vet recognition ceremony, please call the Payson Hospice Compassus at (928) 472-6340.
County spends money in Globe, ponders Payson project by
Teresa McQuerrey
roundup staff reporter
The Gila County Board of Supervisors approved spending about $129,000 on its “new” Copper Administration Building in Globe to add a room to a modular unit that will eventually house several county offices now using rental space. County Finance Director Jeff Hessenius prefaced his April 21 presentation by telling the supervisors they will get a whole series of bills for the upgrades in Globe. The supervisors approved buying the building in September 2014. The building
needs a whole series of modifications, starting with a new roof. The county sent invitations for bids to 20 companies, but only three responded: Custom Roofing; Star Roofing; and Tecta America. Phoenix- based Custom Roofing’s low bid of $129,385 won the contract. Star Roofing, also of Phoenix, bid $135,135; and Tecta America, based in Glendale, Ariz., bid $176,875. The county hasn’t set a date for starting the project. New stairs and landings
The county continues to mull over
plans to expand its facilities in Payson. County Manager Don McDaniel said he and representatives from the court and other offices met April 22 to consider recommendations of the consulting architect hired by Presiding Superior Court Judge Peter Cahill through the National Center for State Courts in Williamsburg, Va. “He will give us a recommendation whether the county’s plan to put Superior Court and Justice Court in the NAPA building is adequate. If it is possible to make the NAPA building work, he’ll tell us whether the plans will work for Justice Court and Superior Court
operations,” Cahill said in an interview last month. McDaniel said they would discuss not only remodeling the NAPA building on West Main but also upgrades in the adjacent existing buildings. The Gila County Board of Supervisors has already told staff to request qualifications to design and build steps and landings for the Payson courthouse. The presentation, also made by Hessenius, stated new steps and landings to the second floor of the Payson courthouse are needed. He recommended replacing the existing 1980s wooden steps with metal and concrete.
Other business
The supervisors authorized the Health and Emergency Services Division to submit grants to improve response and recovery activities in an emergency and improve its public health and preparedness for novel diseases such as Ebola. The sale of materials to the Friends of Tonto Natural Bridge for trail improvements was approved. The materials include guardrails and either railroad ties or guardrail posts which were given to the county by ADOT from road improvement projects.
Artists open their studios this weekend for ’Neath the Rim tour by
Teresa McQuerrey
roundup staff reporter
The secret world within art studio walls opens to the public this weekend. The Payson Art League presents its 14th Annual ’Neath the Rim Open Studio Tour from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday, Saturday and Sunday, May 1, 2 and 3. The tour showcases 26 artists with work displayed in 14 studios in Payson, Pine and Star Valley. This year’s featured artist is Pat Sessions of Pine. A native of Southern California, Sessions retired from education and moved to Pine in 2005.
While teaching, Sessions said she discovered how wonderful art was to help develop learning skills in children. She taught herself pencil work after retirement then, “… took my art to a new level at the junior college and under the tutorship of Joy Layson, I entered the arena of oil painting.” Sessions continues her art studies, now with Jim Strong of Payson. The images she creates are from photographs she or friends take. “I work toward painterly realism. My favorite subjects are people and animals,” Sessions said.
New artists
Jenny Kirgis
Each year the PAL opens participation in the studio tour (and its big fall show and sale) through a juried selection process. Often “new” artists are discovered. “New” artists who will participate in the 2015 studio tour include Donna Davies, Jenny Kirgis, Janet Longbotham, Guido Emilio and Michele Orsini.
Kirgis is an abstract artist with a love of travel, outdoors and flowers. Her work is characterized by vibrant colors and bold compositions. She has had a home in Pine for 15 years, but is a part-time resident. She said her mother is an amazing artist and was her inspiration to pursue artistic expression — and continue to do so. “I started taking art classes later in life, and was instantly hooked. After my first lesson — I think I bought an entire art supply store on my first visit!” Kirgis said she continues to study. “I am a constant learner of art. I try to take classes all over the world when I travel for business; visit art museums and read books about famous artists and their techniques. Kirgis sold her first work at THAT Brewery in Pine. “I was given the opportunity to showcase my work at THAT Brewery. The painting was a bear sleeping on a tree limb — he was adorable! I was actually sad to sell it because I loved it so much, but I was running out of wall space at home.” In time she hopes to pursue her art on a full-time basis, expand her Brews and Brushes Company in Arizona. “Many smaller towns are really starved for a creative and social outlet such as this. There is no greater satisfaction to me than seeing my attendees come back month after month; create and become so inspired by their own work.”
Donna Davies
Davies, who lives in Payson, loves painting landscapes in oils. She also does portraits and enjoys sketching with charcoal pencil.
Payson Wildlife Fair May 9 Up close & personal with array of critters Green Valley Park will undergo a transformation on Saturday, May 9, when its sprawling grassy expanses turn into a carnival full of wildlife and outdoor activities. The public is welcome to attend the free 21st Annual Payson Wildlife Fair. The fair runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Organizers have been working hard to make this year’s event the biggest and best one yet. “You can land a trout, try your hand at archery, paddle a canoe, or get a close-up look at a giant snake … there is something for everyone, “ said Amy Burnett, an Arizona Game and Fish Information and Education Program Manager. “People come from all over the state for this one-day outdoor event. It’s a great day up in the cool mountain air of Payson, at a time of year when the Valley is really heating up.” In addition to birds of prey, other live animals on display include rattlesnakes, Gila monsters, bats and other wildlife. Fair visitors can test their skills at one of the casting booths, pellet gun and archery ranges or visit booths from a variety of conservation groups, including the Phoenix Herpetological Society, Arizona Antelope Foundation, and Tonto National Forest. Green Valley Lake will receive more than double its normal stocking of trout in preparation for this event. For this event, 800 pounds of fish will be released into the lake prior to the fair. No fishing license is required for fair attendees, and equipment and bait are provided at the free fishing booth at the fair.
Janet Longbotham
Longbotham works in oils and finds great inspiration in the outdoors. She studies with Jim Strong and said she enjoys portraits, pets, landscapes and flowers — so far. She moved to Payson in spring of 1986. She was a construction worker before that, so she moved around a lot and did numerous other jobs. “Everything from railroad laborer to nail technician,” she said, calling life versatile, flexible and interesting. Her first formal art class was with Jim Strong at Gila Community College in 2008. Her first sale was at the casino (when students showed in their own section. “I sold an oil painting and was on top of the world,” she said. Longbotham said her work as
A total of 26 local artists will open their studios to the public this weekend as part of the Payson Art League’s annual studio tour. Pat Sessions, of Pine, is the featured artist this year. an artist is inspired by “Seeing God’s creations through new eyes. My whole perception has changed.” Guido Emilio & Michele Orsini
Husband and wife Guido Emilio and Michele Orsini are both “new” artists in the 2015 PAL studio tour. Guido was born in Milan, Italy and said he came to the U.S. because it gave room for his art to have expression. He works in pencil, pen and ink, creating surreal, metaphorical and whimsical drawings. Michele creates handmade birdhouses. “Designing, engineering and constructing cavity nesting birds not only satisfies my creativity, it helps birds find a safe place to raise their young.” The couple doesn’t make their home here, but will be visiting close friends for the event. They are self-employed, owning and operating a construction company, Migorsini Innovations, which mainly deals with interior and exterior painting, finishing cabinets and doors as well as installing molding, faux finishes, remodels and small jobs. Michele is the general contractor and Guido is the painter. Michele said Guido has always been drawn to the expression of art since he was a small boy — his father was an artist. She started creating birdhouses to make some extra income and along the way discovered that birds are fascinating creatures. While Michele is basical-
ly self-taught, Guido studied at Valley College and Cal State San Bernardino. “I made my first sale on the birdhouses when I took three down to our local gift shop and they sold within three days … I’ve come a long way since (those first efforts) with a published book on Handmade Birdhouse and Feeders that I was asked to do from Cico Books, Ryland-Peters & Small. That was an honor!” Asked about what continues to inspire their work, Michele said Guido is always inspired, especially after a walk in the woods. “He never stops imagining fantasy as we would want to see it in real life. His drawings are always of fairies, butterflies and many creatures of nature that reflect good.” Michele said she has always been inspired to create with her hands, to put together something from scratch and see it become beautiful and useful. “It’s even more inspiring when the birds start nesting in my birdhouses to give new life. That’s an incredible experience.” As for the future, she said her husband would like to place his art in a gallery for the world to see; retire and just be an artist of expression. “I am working toward having my creations in every garden across the United States and continue to do so as long as I can,” Michele said. The guide showing the location of the studios open to the public and artists participating is in this issue of the Roundup.

PAYSON ROUNDUP
Brain, nervous system health Rehab director discusses balance, fall prevention by
Christy VanderMolen
payson care center
Payson Care Center’s Director of Rehab Services, Lisa Schultz, recently spoke at the Senior Center on brain and nervous system health. As a part of Payson Care Center’s lecture series on balance and fall prevention, Lisa discussed vertigo, Menier’s disease, vestibular neuritis, orthostatic hypotension and proprioception. Vertigo is a sensation of spinning. If you have these dizzy spells, you might feel like you are spinning or that the world around you is spinning. Vertigo is often caused by an inner ear problem. Some of the most common causes include: • BPPV - or benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. BPPV occurs when tiny calcium particles clump up in canals of the inner ear. The inner ear sends signals to the brain about the head and body movements relative to gravity. It helps you keep your balance. BPPV can occur for no known reason and may be associated with age. • Menier’s disease - This is an inner ear disorder thought to be caused by a buildup of fluid and changing pressure in the ear. It can cause episodes of vertigo along with ringing in the ears and hearing loss. • Vestibular neuritis or labyrinthitis - This is an inner ear problem usually related to infection (usually viral). The infec-
tion causes inflammation in the inner ear around nerves that are important for helping the body sense balance. Vertigo is often triggered by a change in the position of your head. People with vertigo typically describe it as feeling like they are: spinning, tilting, swaying, unbalanced, pulled to one direction. Other symptoms that may accompany vertigo include: feeling nauseated, abnormal or jerking eye movements, headache, sweating, ringing in the ears or hearing loss. Treatment for vertigo depends on what’s causing it. In many cases, vertigo goes away without any treatment. For some, treatment is needed and may include vestibular rehabilitation. This is a type of physical therapy aimed at helping strengthen the vestibular system. The function of the vestibular system is to send signals to the brain about head and body movements relative to gravity. Another symptom that can cause loss of balance or dizziness is Orthostatic Hypotension or (OH). OH is described as an extreme drop in blood pressure that may occur when a person stands up suddenly causing the blood to pool in the blood vessels in the legs. Because of this pooling, the amount of blood carried back to the heart by the veins is decreased. Subsequently, less blood is pumped from the heart resulting in a sudden drop in blood pressure. The drop in blood pressure must be greater than 20 mm of mercury during contraction of the heart muscles (systole) and more than 10 mm of mercury during expansion of the heart muscles (diastole.) Episodes among the elderly are always to be taken seri-
ously. Felling light-headed when first standing up is not cause for alarm, but losing consciousness, even if only briefly, should be reported to a medical professional immediately. Normally, specialized cells in the body (baroreceptors) quickly respond to changes in blood pressure. The baroreceptors then activate the autonomic nervous system to increase, via reflex action, and increase levels of catecholamines in the body. Increased catecholamine levels rapidly restore the blood pressure. A defect in this spontaneous response (reflex) prevents the heart rate and blood pressure from rising adequately and orthostatic hypotension results. Fainting and falling are the usual consequences. Proprioception is the ability to sense stimuli arising within the body regarding position, motion and equilibrium. Even if a person is blindfolded, he or she knows through proprioception if an arm is above the head or hanging by the side of the body. The sense of proprioception is disturbed in many neurological disorders. It can sometimes be improved through the use of sensory integration therapy, a type of specialized occupational therapy. Schultz stressed the importance of sitting up for a few minutes at the edge of the bed before getting up in the morning and looking from side to side then up and down slowly several times. Also she suggests pumping (flexing) your ankles regularly throughout the day and practicing alphabet motions with our feet. This keeps ankles flexible and strengthens the blood flow back to our center. These simple exercises help blood flow and strengthen balance.

Payson Care serves Rim economy by
Christy VanderMolen
payson care center
Just west of Payson Regional Medical Center and across the street from Dr. Ivan McLaws’ office, Payson Care Center sits away from the main drag in Payson. It is rare when its 30 shortterm private rehab rooms aren’t full and it is home to 60 long-term care and 20 dementia care residents. On average, Payson Care Center cares for 96 patients and residents a day. The majority of the facility’s short-term patients are referred from Payson Regional Medical Center and the full-time residents come from the local community as well. Payson Care Center opened its doors in 1986 and has been a key player in providing economic stability to the Payson community. As one of the largest employers to the Rim Country, Payson Care Center has 141 employees. The nursing team makes up over 50 percent of the total staff. Registered Nurses average $32 an hour, Licensed Practical nurses average $26 per hour and Certified Nursing Assistants average $14.50 an hour. Employees who work 30 hours or more a week are eligible for full-time benefits that include dental, vision and medical services. Several of Payson Care Center’s staff members have been employed at Payson Care Center for at least a decade. Krystal Rodriquez, now the business office manager, started at Payson Care Center in 1998 as a Certified Nursing Assistant. Ranay Krahn-Eavenson began her career in 2001 as a Certified Nursing Assistant and is now the MDS Director. Robin Jesperson began working at Payson Care Center in 1994 — she is the longest employed staff member. Robin states that she has had a passion toward the skilled nursing industry since she was a teenager. She started in the
kitchen and worked her way up to Payson Care Center’s dietician. Robin says that she loves working at Payson Care Center because she feels that she makes a difference in the lives of the residents and patients. A simple smile or a kind gesture really makes a resident’s day and that makes Robin feel good. The economic impact a facility like Payson Care Center has on the community is significant. Imagine 96 rooms each receiving electricity, telephone, Internet and cable television from local utility companies. When you factor in all the repairs that are done to the facility using local business an estimated $15,000 is spent on utility services every month. The day-to-day operation of keeping the facility, business office and marketing department running using local vendors for office supplies, printing, advertising, flowers, durable medical equipment is considerable. The payments to these local vendors averages $5,000 per month. Payson Care Center is also proud to spend thousands of dollars a year to local sponsorships. Under the leadership of Jason Norman, executive director, Payson Care Center has increased its contributions to the local community over the last year-and-a-half. In addition to national causes that include the American Cancer Society, the Alzheimer’s Association and the United Ostomy Association, Payson Care Center has made donations to support the Payson Little League, Boy Scouts of America, Rim Country Middle School wrestling team, Payson High School Athletics, Payson Food Bank, Payson Rotary, the Payson Rodeo and the Mogollon Health Alliance. Payson Care Center also donates more than 220 gift bags each month to Meals on Wheels participants and people receiv-
ing services from the Pinal Gila County Services for the Aging and Lutheran Social Services. These gift bags include lotions, shampoos, toothpaste and other sundry items. Total donations and sponsorships are estimated at $20,000 a year that Payson Care Center provides to the community on both a national and local level. Since Payson’s two skilled nursing facilities stay relatively full, there is an obvious need for the combined 200 skilled nursing beds that serve the Rim Country. What would it mean to the community if Payson Care Center did not exist? The lack of skilled nursing serving a population where the majority of its residents are over the age of 55 would be disastrous. Payson residents would have to seek services after a hospital surgery or illness in the Valley. Residents would also have to seek specialty care outside of Payson because of the lack of facilities that offer inpatient therapy. The 141 business professionals that are employed at Payson Care Center would compete for jobs locally or have to move out of the area to seek employment. As stated above, Payson Care Center plays a big role in providing revenue to many local vendors; the loss of its account would definitely have an impact on these businesses. Jason Norman, executive director at Payson Care Center believes that it is important to be engaged in local business. “There isn’t a department in our facility that does not depend on local businesses and volunteers. At Payson Care Center we choose to stay local in so many areas of running the facility and we appreciate that our corporate office supports that endeavor. Thank you to the Payson community for always supporting us as we work to support you,” Norman said.

Payson Care Center participated in this year’s Rim Country Business Showcase using the theme “For a Speedy Recovery choose Payson Care Center.” Payson Care Center is proud to maintain an average length of stay after serious illness or injury of just 20 days. The success rate of patients recovering faster is attributed to the “Ready, Set, Go Program” utilized by the facility’s healthcare team, which not only includes the nursing, therapy, social services and the restorative nursing departments, but the patient and their friends and family as well. The Ready, Set, Go Program encourages friends and family members to participate in establishing and achieving desired goals because these are the people who know the patient best.
Based on the condition and discharge setting, each member of the healthcare team works with the patient and family members to establish and achieve goals. These goals include mobility, activities of daily living, communication, nutrition, nursing, social service and restorative or maintenance goals. Ready, Set, Go ensures that the plan of care is effective and that all aspects of a safe discharge are met. At Payson Care Center, it is believed that the team approach is a more effective and faster way for patients to recovery successfully. In addition to the booth at the showcase, Payson Care Center sponsored the Payson Raceway for kids ages 3 to 6. Children participated in racing motorized race cars around a track set up by Steve Coury Ford. At the end of the day there were two separate prize drawings for the race cars.

3.30 portions per day produced marked improvement in “attractiveness” — you know, that red pepper blush that makes a girl irresistible. Now, if I could only get my daughter to agree that 3.3 servings of fruits and veggies will really turn up the attractiveness — we’re golden! Well, maybe not golden, but surely an alluring pink. The North Dakota State University suggests the following list of fruits and veggies to illustrate the amount of choices available to make that rainbow of color on the plate: GREEN – Leafy greens (kale, spinach, arugula, lettuce, chard, etc.); Green vegetables (broccoli, bell peppers, Brussels sprouts, asparagus, green beans, snow peas, etc.); Herbs — yes, they also count — (parsley, basil, cilantro, rosemary, chives, etc.); Fruits (kiwi, green apples and pears, honeydew, limes, etc.) BLUE/PURPLE – Vegetables (eggplant, purple potatoes, purple cabbage, kohlrabi, kale, asparagus or cauliflower, etc.); Fruits (blueberries, figs, grapes, plums, blackberries, passion fruit, etc.) RED – Vegetables (beets, red bell peppers, red onion, radicchio, red chili peppers, rhubarb, etc.); Fruits (tomatoes, apples, watermelon, raspberries, strawberries, cherries, pomegranates, pink/red grapefruit, etc.) YELLOW/ORANGE – Vegetables (orange and yellow peppers, carrots, sweet potatoes, yams, acorn, butternut and summer squash, pumpkin, etc.); Fruits (oranges, lemons, grapefruit, mangoes, apricots, pineapples, papaya, etc.) WHITE – Vegetables (cauliflower, onions, garlic, mushrooms, jicama, turnips, shallots, kohlrabi, parsnips, etc.); Fruits (white peaches and nectarines, coconut, bananas, etc.)

Puttering along with Bird Men of Pine
Bird whisperers need help for migratory bird count by
Michele Nelson
roundup staff reporter
As soon as Rick Heffernon and Brian Ison drove onto the Girl Scout campgrounds in Pine, all five senses came alive. “There’s a yellow warbler singing …” said Heffernon a faraway look on his face. “That’s a titmouse,” said Ison of another call, his face mirroring Heffernon’s concentration. The two men had joined up with other birders to host the Bird Walk during the Pine-Strawberry Trails Day bird-watching hike. The reclusive Girl Scout camp hosts a plethora of bird species content in the privacy of the camp vacant except in the summer — most of the birds were there to nest in mid-April. The group of about two-dozen people had an exclusive tour of the area thanks to Heffernon, who made arrangements with the groundskeeper to enter the camp for the morning. As the group of beginning and veteran bird-watchers crossed a bridge, a male robin perched provocatively on a branch in perfect repose for photographs. He cocked an eye at the human invaders. “He’s very ticked off — this is his nesting area,” said Heffernon. Both Heffernon and Ison have an uncanny ear and an encyclopedic knowledge of bird songs and birds. Die-hard bird-watchers, like those on the walk, have a passionate love of our feathered friends. They walk in a trance, enraptured with the sounds of the woods, eyes alert, binoculars and bird books at the ready. Birding also attracts many older folks grateful for the slow pace. On this day, the group barely walked in a half-mile radius. Ison seems part bird, able to call the little critters out of the trees and bush as well as translate their various calls. He calls flushing out the birds “phishing.” “I read ‘The Art of Phishing’ by Pete Dunne,” said Ison on how he learned the specialty. Phishing mimics birds’ calls to bring

Brian Ison and Rick Heffernon (on right) led an ardent group of bird-watchers on a hunt for birds at the Pine-Strawberry Trails Day recently. The pair of expert birders demonstrated how new bird-calling apps on smart phones can increase the number of birds sighted. They need volunteers now for a migratory bird count Saturday, May 9. he calls down birds of all breeds. “Oh, look! They’re very agitated. They’re investigating to find out what made that noise,” he said. Ison had imitated an owl whistle, followed by a “psh” imitating warning sounds birds use to alert fellow birds to danger. Once Ison had identified a couple of birds, he pulled out a black canvas coated box that held an iPod with speakers. “I’m going to see if I can call in more birds,” he said. The first bird to show up when he played the bird calls, the robin. “Look, there’s the robin again!” said many of the birders, giggling.
Birds not only have songs, they have calls, wails, and even yodels. Ison said he downloaded his collection of bird songs from the Audubon Society, but nowadays smart phones have numerous free birding apps. “Smart phones have really good speakers,” he said. “You don’t need such a cumbersome get-up as mine.” Heffernon suggested Merlin as on application or iBird Pro. Still, the budding birders wondered how they could ever learn so many songs. Bird by bird — said Ison. “Just go from there,” he said. The group then wandered to other
areas of the camp where the bird whisperers flushed out rarely seen birds such as the Cassin’s finch. “There’s almost too many birds,” said Heffernon. At each stop along the hike, the robin made an appearance. “He’s probably trying to lead us out,” said Heffernon. Two and a half hours, but only half a mile later, the group of amateur and professional birders packed up to return to the remainder of the Trails Day. As they left, the robin peeked out from around a tree and dipped his head in approval. He looked relieved that his guard duties were over.
Putting Pine on the mountain biking map Trails Day gives mountain bike group chance to showcase routes

After a year of work, the Pine Strawberry Fuel Reduction Trail Crew recently unveiled its newest section of trail at the Pine Trails Day. The trail earned shouts of “sweet, awesome, knarly” and a few “oh craps” as riders grunted and bounced along the trail. The trail is so new, marking flags still lined the path when the dozen or so riders zipped past. Some expertly dodged and bobbed past rocks and stumps on $1,000 bikes while the rest of us in the back pedaled gingerly along, trying to keep up on not-so-new mountain bikes that rattled and clanked. Roland Maier, who led the trek and volunteers with the trails group, highlighted some of their work. The new sections of trail are in an area where the existing Pine View, Highline
and Arizona trails meet at the Pine Trailhead just south of Pine. The group carved out several new miles of trail, improved existing trail and bypassed some of the old trail that could not be fixed, creating a loop with a smooth flow that riders described as roller coaster fun. The trails crew also completed work on the new Bearfoot Trail, accessed a little way up the road on the northbound side of Highway 87, at milepost 270. Riders call the Bearfoot a gem among bike trails. That trail was initially the group’s destination, but when those plans fell through, they instead pedaled through town and to the Pine Trailhead. Maier said they want to put PineStrawberry on the map as an awesome place to ride singletrack, so named because the trails are narrow and quads cannot access them and thus beat them up. The annual Fire on the Rim race has spread Pine’s fame among the mountain
biking set, but the group wanted to carve out more trails for everyone, not just experts. Moreover, the new trails also accommodate hikers. In fact, at the April 18 event, a large group hiked the new trail with a pack of llamas. As the bike group stopped to rest, Maier explained the fine points of trail building. With the help of the Forest Service, the group figured out where a path would best fit the terrain while still offering a challenging ride for both beginners and experts. They factored in erosion, grade, line-of-sight and then went to work moving boulders, trimming trees, curving the trail around mature trees and finding ways to blend the trail into the terrain. In one section, the path passes through two trees, which anchor the trail and keep it from migrating down the hillside. In other sections, the trail rolls quickly, plunges off boulders and turns direc-

But because of its thoughtful design, riders had to dismount on only a few sections. Of course, for those of us in the back, the trail proved challenging mainly because our legs were not in shape to push through the washes and up the hills. On foot, the new trail is a breeze to follow. The Arizona Trails Association will include portions of the path in the official Arizona Trail, bypassing older sections. For Maier and the handful of volunteers who worked on the trail for a year, it is a huge success. The group formed loosely — a handful of friends that liked to ride and hike. After attending a trail-building workshop put on by Subaru in Pine, Maier said they decided to implement what they
had learned. “It was self-fulfilling for each of us in our own way,” he said. Maier, who has limited trail building experience, said he loves the area and wanted to help others discover it too. In addition the trails also provide access to firefighters during a forest fire. The group has built about 15 miles of trail, including the Bearfoot and unnamed trail, and has plans to keep going. Group attendance recently dropped off, but Maier hopes to attract more volunteers. Back on the new trail, expert and novice riders, like this writer, and children took turns leading the pack through the woods. While we didn’t know what to call the trail, we knew it was fun.

If Arizona doesn’t change course and increase funding to higher education, the state’s economic health will decline, Arizona State University President Michael Crow told a group of business leaders recently. He pointed to two statistics: Arizona and New Mexico have the lowest level of educational attainment. The two states also have the fastest falling per capita gross domestic product. There’s a correlation, he said. The state Legislature cut $99 million in funding to the state’s higher education institutions for the budget year beginning July 1. Crow said the quality of the workforce would suffer if funding continues to decline and a limited workforce would restrict economic growth. “(The lack of funding won’t just lead to) economic decline, it will be suffering. It will be economic suffering,” Crow said.
He made the comments during a panel discussion hosted by the Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce in downtown Phoenix. Todd Sanders, the chamber’s president and CEO, said declines in higher education funding could lead to a rise in tuition, which limits access to education. “It starts to dry up our talent pool. That presents a real problem,” Sanders said. “The business community needs to stand up and be a part of the solution for the state to really start to look at higher education as an asset and not a cost.” Both Crow and Rufus Glasper, chancellor at the Maricopa County Community College District, called on members of the business community to use their networks to start a conversation about the issue and find a consensus. Historically, the business community has focused its political efforts on lowering taxes and removing regulations, but Crow said business leaders must

In Arizona, there is hardly a more precious resource than water. That’s why some water experts point with alarm to deep cuts in funding and staffing at the state agency tasked with overseeing it, especially after years of drought and with a shortage looming on the Colorado River. The number of people at the Arizona Department of Water Resources has gone from 244 to 123 since the onset of the Great Recession. The agency handles water claims and helps preserve water supplies, among other tasks. General Fund support for the agency has dropped by 50 percent to $13.3 million in 2015. That amount dipped to $5.7 million in fiscal 2012 before increasing. Kathleen Ferris, a former director of the agency and who currently serves as legal counsel and policy adviser for the Arizona Municipal Water Users
Association, said ADWR needs the funding to funciton. “The cuts to the department’s budget have seriously impaired the department’s ability to represent the state’s interests on critical water issues,” she said. “Water is key to our state’s continued economic prosperity. The department must have the resources necessary to lead the way in meeting our state’s future water needs.” The department was created in the 1980s to ensure a sustainable water supply. A key part of that mission: carrying out the goals outlined in the landmark Groundwater Management Act of 1980, which created active management areas deemed too reliant on groundwater and aimed to achieve safe yield, or drawing no more water from wells than is naturally recharged. ADWR is also responsible for negotiations related to the Colorado River as well as assisting with water planning throughout the state, especially

make higher education funding an objective. “A qualified workforce is what any business is looking for,” said Ed Munson, executive committee chair for the Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce. “We are very concerned in the business community about the cuts to higher education in the state budget.” Over time, the decreasing higher education budget will impact the state’s ability to attract and retain high quality businesses, Munson said. There are flaws in the system the business community could help change, Glasper said. For example, under current law if higher education institutions obtain funding from other sources — beyond tuition and fees — they have to give up the same amount of funding from property taxes. “Where’s the incentive? That’s a disincentive,” Glasper said. “We can make money, but in today’s environment, we cannot keep it.”

Sarah Porter, director of the Kyl Center for Water Policy at Arizona State University’s Morrison Institute for Public Policy, said that ADWR did great work in the 1980s and 1990s under great leadership, but she said that success may have allowed current legislative leaders, to some extent, to take the department’s role for granted. “We are not in the crisis that California is precisely because of what we were doing 20 and 30 years ago,” she said. “So we’ve kind of lost this commitment and understanding.” Tom Buschatzke, who took over this year as director of the Arizona Department of Water Resources, said staff members must prioritize. “I think it’s forced the department to become more efficient, and through the reorganization of the department it has done that,” he said.

Payson clinches section title Team focused on state championship by

Payson’s four seniors clown around before the senior night ceremony honoring them before Friday’s game against Show Low. Pictured are Ali Tenney (standing left), Sadie Dunman on her back, Cori Barnett (standing right) and Payton Petersen on her back.
Friends for life
Like the glue in a model airplane, four seniors hold together Payson’s mighty softball team. While junior Arissa Paulson serves as the engine of this team as she dominates batters with her pitching repertoire and terrorizes pitchers with her mammoth home runs, Cori Barnett, Sadie Dunman, Payton Petersen and Ali Tenney play key roles as well. Softball requires at least nine players to form a team and the Longhorns would be lost without this quartet. Evidence of the importance is easy to find as they’ve been a part of the four winningest teams in school history since joining the varsity in 2012. The Longhorns are 115-19 since the start of the 2012 season. They won a record MORE THAN A 28 games in 2012 and reached the state semifinals. They topped that with 29 wins before by Keith Morris bowing out in the semis once again in 2013. They won 29 again last year in reaching the state championship game for the first time in history. On Friday night, they beat Show Low 11-1 to improve to 29-1. The four were honored on the field before the game in a senior night ceremony. Although their high school softball careers are coming to an end, Dunman said the four will remain friends for life. “We’re best friends,” she said. “We’ve played since seventh grade together and I think we’ve had an unbreakable bond that I think we’ll always have that, which is awesome.” Experience makes each of the four obvious team leaders. But each one of them also brings other positive characteristics to the team. All are friendly, often smiling and always ready to offer encouragement to a teammate who’s down.

The Longhorns made history by wrapping up their second straight section softball championship on Friday night. But the Division 3 Section 5 crown won’t mean much to one of the best softball teams in Payson history if the Longhorns don’t win the state title and earn the right to call themselves the very best Payson’s ever seen. If they continue playing the way they have all season, these Longhorns may wind up winning it all — for the first time in Payson history. No one mentioned section glory after the Horns pounded Show Low 11-1 in six innings on a chilly night in the home finale, delayed 90 minutes while several people worked on the muddy field. They probably didn’t even realize they’d just clinched another section title and matched the school record for wins in a season in improving to 29-1 with their 24th consecutive victory. That’s because they’ve got their hearts set on a state championship, something neither the 2013 or 2014 squads that also won 29 games managed. These players will only be satisfied if they

finish 35-1, which is what they’ll be if they win their final two regular season games and four state tournament contests. “I think it’s just an indicator of how strong this team is,” head coach Curtis Johnson said of the win total. Arissa Paulson continued her dominant season in the circle, striking out 16 Cougars, who managed only four scattered hits. Her record now stands at 23-1. The only Show Low run came from Payson’s only error. The Cougars were No. 2 in the Division 3 See Longhorns clinch, page 6B

The school of hard knocks for Longhorns by
Keith Morris
roundup sports editor
Like a teenager coming of age in some tribal ritual, Payson’s young baseball players have walked the gauntlet of the toughest schedule in Division 3. Along the way, the Longhorns have knocked down some giants. They’ve also endured a few heartbreaks. They experienced a double dose of it over the weekend, losing a wild 15-13 game on senior night at home on Friday. The next afternoon, host Goodyear Estrella Foothills broke a 3-3 tie with a run in the bottom of the seventh to pull out a 4-3 thriller. Seven times this season, Payson has lost hard-fought games by two runs or less — five of those by a single run. Inconsistency characterizes most young teams. With just three seniors on the roster, Payson certainly fits that bill. Still, the Longhorns’ ability to compete with some of the best teams in the state this spring bodes well for the future. Alas, that doesn’t ease the heartache of this season of cliffhangers. Fortunately, the Longhorns seem assured of a test themselves in the crucible of the postseason. The regular season ends at Globe at 5 p.m. Wednesday. Despite dropping their last two games, the Longhorns stood at 9-9 and No. 17 in the Division 3 power rankings as of Monday.
A Payson batter gets set to make contact in the Longhorns’ wild 15-13 loss to Show Low on Friday night. The Horns also lost a 4-3 heartbreaker at Goodyear Estrella Foothills on Saturday. However, they appear to be a lock to make the state tournament. The top 24 teams in the rankings go to the state tournament, which begins with firstround games at 4 and 6:30 p.m. Saturday at Surprise Baseball Complex. So they’ll be in after facing a Globe team that’s struggling through a 3-13 season, which has them at No. 45 in the division power rankings and out of the state tournament picture. Show Low has given the Longhorns trouble for years and it was no different in the latest meeting. The Cougars improved to 10-7 but are ranked behind the Longhorns at No. 20 thanks to a weaker schedule. Payson’s schedule is rated the toughest in the division.
The Longhorns led 11-8 after five innings but the visitors scored five runs in the top of the sixth to take a 13-11 lead. Payson rallied to tie it 13-13 after six innings before the visitors answered with four in the top of the seventh and held the Horns off the board in the bottom of the inning to end it. Seniors David Evans, Hunter Lane and Logan Morgan were recognized in an on-field ceremony before the game. Beating Estrella Foothills would have been huge for the Longhorns. They battled but just couldn’t get it done as the Wolves improved to 12-5 and stood at No. 11 in Monday’s rankings.

6B
Longhorns clinch section title From page 1B power rankings behind Payson before losing their first section game at Winslow 7-6 on Wednesday. They stood at 15-3 and No. 5 in the rankings on Monday. Paulson represents a headache for opposing teams both in the circle and at the plate. No one has found a remedy for the pain of her pitching. Some coaches have tried to get around her hitting by walking her intentionally, but that often just puts a potential score on base — given the strength of the rest of the batting order. But at least that way she won’t blast one over the fence as she did going 3-for-4 with two home runs and seven RBI in Payson’s 11-0 win in Show Low on March 12. Paulson leads the Longhorns with eight homers and 47 RBI. Show Low coach Carl Nix gave the Payson junior four balls in her first two plate appearances
Keith Morris/Roundup
Ali Tenney and first base coach Will Dunman smile at Payson players in the dugout after the senior reached first base during the Longhorns’ 11-1 senior night win over Show Low on Friday.
Lifetime friends From page 1B the fifth with one thing on her mind: Hit a home run. And she did. She smashed it over the leftfield fence for her fifth homer of the season. Barnett said she’d love to help the Longhorns finally win the state title. “Yeah, I think it’ll be special because they keep the records at the school and it gets in your heart, because then you know that even though you’re gone, there’s still a part of you at the school, at Payson High School.” Barnett has not only driven in 26 runs, she has tied for the team lead with six stolen bases. She’s also a strong defender in center field, making a diving catch to save a no-hitter earlier this season. She relished the home run after coming close in her previous at bat. “It felt really good because before that I hit one that was close and she caught it and I came in the dugout and I was thinking to myself, ‘Get it together because this is your senior night, you need to show them,’” Barnett said. “So I kind of gave myself a mental talk in the dugout then I came back out there and I just had more confidence at the plate. Then she pitched it right over the middle of the plate and that’s kind of any hitter’s best pitch is a meatball.” She said she didn’t get as emotional as she expected to. “I thought I was going to be a lot more emotional because it’s senior night. I was born here, raised here, and my sister (Cami) played softball for Mr. Dunman and I’ve just been around this program for such a long time,” Barnett said. “But I think when it comes to state, that’s when it’s all going to hit. Because state’s just like a week and a half before graduation and then it’s like the real world.” Sadie Dunman
Dunman consistently does the crucial little things, like the strategic bunt and the consistent base hits — making her a perfect fit for the No. 2 spot in the order. One of just three Longhorns to play in all 30 games, Dunman has scored a team-leading 38 runs, thanks to a shrewd eye at the plate that has drawn a team-leading 18 bases on balls. She’s also tough as nails. She crowds the
strike zone and won’t back off — which is why she’s also earned the team high eight hit-by-pitches. She just shakes off the bruise of the ball and takes her base. Dunman’s father, Will, spent years as the varsity head coach and the last two as a volunteer coach. “I’ve kind of grown up on this field,” she said. “So it’s kind of sad but nice. I think it’ll sink in more once we get to state, but yeah, it’s a little emotional now that this is our last game here. Payton Petersen
Petersen is batting .320, which ranks fifth on the team among those with at least 20 plate appearances. She also plays a huge role in Arissa Paulson’s pitching success as the catcher with a sparkling .995 fielding percentage. Like her teammates, it was news to Petersen that they’d just tied the record for wins in a season. “Did we?” she asked. “It just means that we work hard and earned it. It feels good to have success on our home field. It wasn’t emotional, it was nice.” Ali Tenney
Tenney is an excellent defensive outfielder who hasn’t committed an error this season and also gives the Horns the speed and base running experience in a pinch running situation. It was quite a night for Tenney as she took the microphone and belted out a stirring rendition of the national anthem before the game. She said she’ll miss playing in front of all the Longhorns’ supporters. “Our home crowd is so supportive and so good,” she said. “We have people here who don’t have any specific ties to any of the players, but they just come because they love to watch us play and they love to support us. It’s awesome, for sure, kind of makes you feel like a rock star, even just sitting on the bench.” Tenney also spent a lot of time on the varsity field because her mother served as varsity assistant coach for many years before spending last season as the head coach. “Like Sadie, I grew up on this field,” she said. “My mom’s been coaching with Will forever, so it’s going to be really weird not playing games here anymore, to be moving on. But it’s been a great run.”
Golfers wage battle Tim Ernst and Ken Althoff shot a 59 to win the Payson Men’s Golf Association 2-Man Best Ball A Flight crown by one stroke at Payson Golf Course on Wednesday, April 22. Terry Lindsey and Lou Mangiello placed second with a 60, winning a scorecard tiebreaker with Oscar Garcia and Gary Campbell, who finished third with the same score. The battle for the B Flight championship was even tighter, as two teams carded 60s, with Jerry
McGuire and Jim Livingstone taking the title on a scorecard tiebreaker against Alex Armenta and Dick Harding. Don Pollock and Gary Vaplon finished third with a 62. Mike Eilenfeldt won the longest putt by finding the hole from 23 feet 6 inches on No. 18. Closest-tothe-pin winners were: Ed Bossert (No. 2, 6-10), Don Pollock (No. 5, 5-0), Doyle Hefner (No. 8, 8-7), Ken Althoff (No. 14, 8-10), and Steve Vincent (No. 17, 10-8).
Payson 9, Mingus 0 Arissa Paulson pitched a one-hit shutout with 16 strikeouts and also doubled twice and drove in three runs to power the Longhorns to a 9-0 win at home on Thursday. She walked two Marauders. Payton Petersen had two hits and an RBI and Sadie Dunman also delivered two of Payson’s eight hits. Friday night. He hoped the batters hitting behind the No. 3 hitter wouldn’t punish the Cougars for the walk. No such luck. Clean-up hitter Anilese Hayes drilled a pitch over the left-field fence for a three-run homer to highlight a five-run third inning that erased a 1-0 Show Low lead. She’s hit seven dingers and driven in 36 runs. And when the Cougars walked Hayes to lead off the fifth,
No. 5 batter Cori Barnett crushed the ball over the left-field fence for her fifth tater to make it 7-1 after just missing a homer earlier. “A lot of teams say, ‘We’re not going to pitch to her because we don’t want her to hit home runs,’” Barnett said of Paulson. “And then when they walk her then coach puts us up there and it’s like, ‘Well, that was your mistake.’” Hayes belted two homers and Barnett one at Blue Ridge earlier this season following walks to Paulson in a 12-2 victory. Hayes reached base three times, going 2-for-3 with a double, a home run, a walk and five RBI as the Longhorns improved to 7-0 in the section with one game remaining in the regular-season finale in Globe at 5 p.m. Wednesday. Payson visits Fountain Hills today at 4 p.m. for a non-section game. The 24-team state tournament begins on Saturday, but the top
eight teams don’t have to play until the second round on May 6 at Rose Mofford Softball Complex in Phoenix. The quarterfinals are at 7 p.m. on May 8, the semifinals 11:30 a.m. on May 9. The final is at 7:45 p.m. on May 11 at Arizona State University. Payson managed eight hits against Show Low. Aubrielle Paulson went 3-of-4 and Payton Petersen 2-for-3. After walking Arissa Paulson her first two times up and paying dearly for it, the Cougars finally decided to pitch to her in her final two at bats and she grounded out then singled, driving in a pair. Johnson said there’s no doubt that Arissa’s dominant pitching is keying the Longhorns’ strong season. But he stressed that this team is also playing strong defense and features several players capable of laying down bunts and moving runners over when called for, as well as featuring a trio of homer hitters.
