Payson crime rate keeps falling, despite chronic shortage of officers

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

Despite being down a number of officers, the Town of Payson once again saw its crime rate fall for the third year in a row. Police Chief Don Engler heralded the news at Tuesday’s council meeting, saying it is amazing and thanked officers and staff for their hard work. Engler attributed the drop in the Index Crime Rate, a combination of violent and property crimes, to both the work of officers and residents doing a better job securing their homes, businesses and Keith Morris/Roundup

Payson’s Monster Mudda could draw 900 participants this year to test themselves against a tough course.

Monster Mudda attracts a dirty crowd by

Play dirty. Have a great time. For the fourth year, town staff is getting the Payson Event Center ready for the Monster Mudda, a mud run that has evolved into one of the most popular in the state. This year, organizers expect at least 900 participants in both the adult and juvenile runs on Saturday, June 4. When it first kicked off in 2013, the run attracted just a few hundred. Last year, it drew 677 registered runners in the adult event, 77 percent from out of town. Cameron Davis, with Payson Parks, Recreation and Tourism, said as organizers fine tune the event every year, adding in more difficult and creative elements, word spreads that the run is not only challenging, but good. clean fun — well sort of. The Mudda is part of the 8th annual Mountain High Games June 3-5. The games have come a long way from their lumberjack origins. The original Payson Sawdust Festival drew fans and onlookers from around the state to the old rodeo grounds in Rumsey Park where competitors tested their mettle with axes and saws in a manner typical of lumberjacks of the area. After the festival moved to the Payson Event Center, excitement seemingly died out and organizers discontinued it in the early 1990s. After a 16-year hiatus, the town THE WEATHER Weekend: Sunny.

With a scant six months left in his school board term, Jim Quinlan announced his resignation at the May 9 board meeting. His post will be open until December when his position was up for reelection. Quinlan told the board the reason for his early resignation centered on the necessity of his wife to return to teaching at Payson Unified School District. “We did this as long as we could,” he said. “She resigned from PUSD so I could be on the board.” Jim’s wife Barbara had left the district to work for the Payson Education Center revived the festival in 2009, adding new games and races and changing the name from the Sawdust Festival to the Mountain High Games. However, it attracted few spectators and only 43 contestants — the Dutch oven cooking competition just was not as successful as everyone had hoped. Then Davis cut the number of events down to four and decided to add something dramatic. “We needed to do something that would make the games a real, viable thing that could happen each year,” he said. Davis jumped on the mud run band-

vehicles from thieves. But theories abound as to why crime rates rise and fall. Some say it is because of increased incarceration rates. Others think it is because of better policing, the health of the economy or overall alcohol and drug use. Most experts agree there isn’t one reason, but likely a combination. Payson seems to defy all odds. We are down officers, drug arrests are up and while the economy is doing better, it still lags behind the rest of the state. Last year, the index crime rate in

run by the Gila County Superintendent’s office. Two years ago, the Payson campus closed, so Jim said Barbara took a job at the Globe campus. This year, that campus closed as well. With both schools closed, Barbara had nowhere to go to teach other than PUSD. Jim said Barbara would teach 5th grade. She has taught middle school science in the past. Yet this move will prove a hardship for the couple, said Jim. “She will go in with a first-year teacher’s salary,” said Jim. “It is a hardship both personal and financial.” Barbara will be hired through the

Two schools take a fling at spring

Two hundred parents and students from both Julia Randall Elementary and Payson Elementary School converged on the JRE campus for the May 6 Spring Fling to dunk school officials and staff in the dunk tank, eat cotton candy and popcorn, and participate in all sorts of other activities. Shelley Hobson, volunteer coordinator for JRE, said the Parent-Teacher Organization hosted the event. “We do it for the kids to have fun,” she said. “We don’t put on the carnival to make money.” That being said, Hobson said the event did raise about $1,000 for both schools. The PTO runs the Spring Fling like a carnival with attendees purchasing wristbands. Those bands then open up activities such as face painting, a Frisbee throw, a cakewalk and rope toss booths. Other activities included adopting a stuffed animal, bouncing in bounce houses, a sucker pull and a dunk tank. Payson Unified School District school board member Angie Prock volunteered for students to

Payson (ICR) was 38.8 per 1,000 population, the lowest in the past nine years, which is where the Roundup’s records go back to. The ICR includes violent crimes, such as murder, rape, robbery and assault as well as property crimes, like burglary, arson, theft and stolen vehicles. That statistic is reported to the FBI and impacts the department’s grant funding. The biggest drop came in assaults, down 33.5 percent to 128. Burglaries also dropped by 31 percent, with October and January the worst months. Only thefts rose — up 11 percent. Engler said the increase reflected a rash of shoplifting cases. Burglaries involve a forced entrance into a home, business or vehicle. In a theft, the suspect might take something, but doesn’t actually break in. Engler said drug users proably account for most of the burglaries and thefts. Several years ago, heroin resurfaced in the community. But police have made that one of their top priorities. The 248 drug-related arrests last year represent a whopping 134 percent increase from 2014. Drugs

seeing crimes or incidents in progress.

The special enforcement unit (SEU) of the PPD handles most drug investigations, making 79 of the 248 drug arrests. Of those, six were for selling drugs, the rest for possession. In 2015, the percentage of drug arrests for heroin swelled to 54 percent of all drug arrests. In 2014, they made up 34 percent of arrests. What made for the difference? There were fewer marijua-

More officers?

Last year, the department brought on two new officers. Several more cadets dropped out either during training or shortly after they got on the job. Engler admitted that recruitment has been a struggle. Finding good candidates is difficult with a lower starting salary than other agencies in the state. Engler said he hopes to boost starting pay. Until then, shifts are going understaffed sometimes, with just an officer and supervisor on duty instead of two officers and a patrol sergeant. In an upcoming story, read more about why officers have left the department in recent years and the chief’s efforts to recruit replacements. Communication/dispatch

na arrests. Some 22 percent of arrests in 2014 were for marijuana and in 2015, 14 percent. The number of methamphetamine arrests also dropped in 2015, going from 37 percent to 28 percent. Engler said heroin remains a major problem. It is cheaper to get than prescription pills and usually a lot easier. Users often transition to heroin from prescription pills. Its use has a devastating

impact on the community. The PPD hosted a special meeting on drug use in the community highlighted by the lack of services to help families and addicts cope. Calls for service

For the first time in three years, the number of calls for service also dropped — a decline of 1,500. Engler said that decline probably stems from a decline in the number of officers on the street

One area of the police department that has struggled with low numbers is the dispatch center. They started 2015 with six fulltime dispatchers and two trainees, but by July, were down to four full-time, one part-time dispatcher and few trainees. Sgt. Joni Varga and officer Jesse Davies, former dispatchers, picked up headsets and worked as dispatchers through October. Around the department, other employees stepped up to help out, including record clerks Celena Ortiz and Beth Lacey and executive assistant Laura Linkey. Sergeants Jason Hazelo and Donnie Garvin and detectives Mike Varga and Mike Hansen also helped out. By December, dispatch was up to six full-time dispatchers and one part-time.

where participants are doused in colored chalk or paint; nighttime glow-in-the-dark and events with silly costumes. In 2013, when the town added the Mudda, it attracted the largest crowd of participants in the history of town-sponsored races, with nearly 270 entrants, mostly from the Valley, and each paying $60 to hurl themselves into mud pits, crawl under barbed wire, lug sandbags and swim under ATVs. Clear that what people really wanted was to get dirty, the town quickly amped up marketing for the games and now in its fourth year, expects to draw contestants from around the country, including New York and Oregon. As in years past, the Mountain High Games will kick off Friday, June 3 with a police vs. fire race on the Mudda course. Bring a can of food for the food bank and cheer on your favorite hometown hero.

Sen. Allen defends vote

• May 15, 1942: Legislation creating the Women’s Army Corps becomes law, granting women official military status. However, it would not be until 1980 that 16,000 women who had joined the early WACs would receive veterans’ benefits. • May 12, 1975: The American freighter Mayaguez is captured by communist government forces in Cambodia. In response, President Gerald Ford ordered the bombing of the Cambodian port where the gunboats had come from. Forty-one Americans died, most of them in an accidental explosion during the attack. • May 13, 1985: In Philadelphia, police drop a small bomb on the roof of a row house on Osage Avenue in an attempt to end a standoff with the radical cult group MOVE. The explosion sparked a fire that killed 11 people and burned down 61 homes. • May 14, 1999: President Bill Clinton apologizes directly to Chinese President Jiang Zemin on the phone for the accidental NATO bombing of the Chinese embassy in Yugoslavia. The Chinese president had refused to accept a phone call from Clinton for four days.

EDITOR’S NOTE: In an earlier editorial, we lamented lawmakers’ decision not to extend medical coverage through the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) to children in working poor families making between 138 and 200 percent of a poverty level wage. The federal government had offered to pay the full cost of the expansion, which would cover an estimated 30,000 children in Arizona. Subsequently, rank and file lawmakers from both parties broke with the legislative leadership and approved the expansion, but attached it to another bill providing state vouchers to pay tuition at private and religious schools. Gov. Ducey subsequently signed the expansion. Here, Sen. Sylvia Allen, who represents Rim Country, offers her reasons for opposing the expansion. by

Sen. Sylvia Allen

senate president pro tem

Why I voted against “KidsCare.” First Reason – KidsCare is not free. The overall program cost is $300 million, and the state must cover the upfront cost of $27 million. We may eventually get this money back, but we have to put the money up front before that can happen. All of these children are covered under Obamacare. But, we were being pressured to put them back on our state AHCCCS rolls with the promise it won’t cost the state anything. Nothing is free! Where does the $300 million come from? In the last six months the national debt has risen over $1.3 trillion dollars. Does anyone think there are not consequences for overspending? And does anyone really think that in due time the burden will be placed squarely upon the state to fund this program? This is not free money and comes at a huge cost to our children down the line. Second Reason – The bill was unconstitutionally passed. Proponents of this socialized health care proposal were unable to get their bill through the normal channels of the legislative process. A group of House Republicans went around their leadership and put the language for KidsCare in an amendment to a bill which was unrelated to health care. The amendment had nothing to do with the subject of the bill which violates the Arizona Constitution! Our Constitution says that a bill that is passed has to be related to the same subject matter within the bill. The courts will most likely strike it down for violating this part of the Constitution. The House Rules attorney said it was not germane, and the Senate Rules attorney said it was not germane, but the House voted to override the ruling and moved forward with the bill anyway. Governor Ducey has knowingly signed a bill that is unconstitutional in its formation. Five Republican Senators joined with Democrats and passed the bill out of the Senate. I strongly agree with Frederic Bastiat’s insightful understanding of the consequences of passing legislation, “what is seen and what is not seen.” “In the economic sphere an act, a habit, an institution, a law produces not only one effect, but a series of effects. Of these effects, the first alone is immediate; it appears simultaneously with its cause; it is seen. The other effects emerge only subsequently; they are not seen; we are fortunate if we foresee them. “There is only one difference between a bad economist and a good one: the bad economist confines himself to the visible effect; the good economist takes into account both the effect that can be seen and those effects that must be foreseen. “Yet this difference is tremendous; for it almost always happens that when the immediate consequence is favorable the later consequences are disastrous, and vice versa. Whence it follows that the bad economist pursues small present good that will be followed by a great evil to come, while the good economist pursues a great good to come, at the risk of a small present evil.” We are at a tipping point and almost beyond the ability to correct our course. Good programs that include personal responsibility need to be implemented, but there is not the will to do so. My compassion for all cannot be solved with bad governing principles with consequences that will be unavoidable and will make the overall problem worse.

Why pay more for the same sun? by

Tammy McLeod

aps vice president, resource management

With more than 300 days of sunshine every year, Arizona is a natural for solar power. In fact, the state was recently ranked No. 2 for total solar energy capacity. Some of the benefits of solar energy are clear. This clean, renewable energy source has no carbon emissions and uses no water. Solar power is an important resource helping to power our customers’ lives, however, we must make sure we are getting the most bang for our buck. Grid-scale solar (large solar farms that typically contain solar panels that track the sun across the sky), in a direct comparison, produces more, costs less and helps the environment far more than private residential rooftop. In addition, grid-scale solar means all APS customers are solar customers, not just the ones who can put panels on their roof. For the past five years, APS has been hard at work overseeing the construction, maintenance and delivery of solar energy from nine solar plants around the state that are part of our AZ Sun Program. All but one of these plants has

hundreds of thousands of panels that rotate to face the sun, enabling them to capture the power of the sun far more hours of the day than rooftop, including late afternoons when our customers need the most energy. That’s why, for an equal hypothetical $20 million investment, grid-scale solar in Arizona could generate 28,500 megawatt-hours (MWh) in a year, compared to residential rooftop at just 12,400 MWh. Using the same example, when it comes to environmental impact, grid-scale solar avoids a whopping 25.6 million pounds of carbon emissions in a year, while residential rooftop avoids just 11.1 million pounds. Water savings from grid-scale solar are 8.9 million gallons per year, while residential rooftop saves just 3.9 million gallons. And as we desert-dwellers know, maximizing water savings is critical to our future. The overwhelming, evidence-based consensus, according to recent reports from MIT, Harvard and the Brattle Group, confirms that grid-scale solar power generation is more cost-effective than rooftop. Put another way, both grid-scale solar and rooftop solar could

achieve the same environmental benefits, but the cost to do so with grid-scale solar would be much lower. Why does grid-scale solar cost less and operate more efficiently? Three reasons. The first, and perhaps the most obvious, has to do with the economies of scale gained by building a plant with thousands of panels, as opposed to the average residential rooftop. Second, these large scale solar plants can be optimally situated in areas of peak sunshine, not wherever a home happens to have been built. And third, as mentioned earlier, the technologies used at grid-scale solar plants incorporate optimized panel placement and sophisticated tracking mechanisms, so panels move to face the sun throughout the day. At APS, we understand how important solar is to our customers and to our state. We also understand the importance of the environmental benefits solar power brings. Our question is: Why pay more for the same sun? Tammy McLeod is the vice president of resource management at Arizona Public Service and currently a Ph.D. student in sustainability.

won a statewide writing contest for a personal narrative that was published in several education magazines. In high school I took advanced algebra, geometry and pre calculus. I graduated in the top 15% of my class with a high B average. I don’t know when the last time you saw my handwriting was, and none of the three of us started in Mesa public schools. In fact two of the three grandkids you mention never attended Mesa schools and I didn’t until sixth grade. Slandering your grandkids is not the way to prove a point! The district has plans to add teachers and decrease class sizes at both elementary schools. Arizona is losing teachers at an alarming rate, maybe an opportunity for a raise after seven years will motivate them to stay. We have some amazing teachers, a little reward and motivation goes a long way for morale. The passion they have for teaching doesn’t pay the bills. Amber Doanhoe

several times what their labor is worth, requiring the employer to lay off workers to accommodate unrealistic pay scales and requiring everyone in the community to pinch pennies because they can no longer afford to patronize the businesses. The writer thinks we should vote for the party that insists everyone should be allowed to vote in an election without restriction, whether they are citizens or not, whether they are residents or not, whether they are felons or not, whether they have already voted or not, just so the party can falsely claim its fantasy platform has a mandate from the people. The writer thinks we should vote for the party that subsidizes every industry or business that it likes, causing every investor to get into that business to receive the loot from the public treasury, until the glut on the market causes government to set arbitrarily high prices for the products to cover the costs, and then dump the majority of the products in the landfill because no one can afford them. (This is how dairy marketing boards, egg marketing boards, agricultural marketing boards, poultry marketing boards, beef marketing boards, etc., ad infinitum work. And when challenged by the people they lower their prices to “prove” the law of supply and demand doesn’t work, but fail to supply any more of the product, thus “proving” their fantasy system works.) I’ve lived in a country that voted this something-for-nothing fantasy party into power, sir, a country that supported Josef Stalin’s rise to power, and if you believe your party is necessary for a “proper balance” in politics, then you believe a “proper balance” is a dirt-grubbing existence where only the party apparatchiks can make a living and they don’t do any useful work at all.

Education in Payson Editor’s note: The following exchange came in response to a Roundup online poll asking how people think the Payson School District should spend the roughly $480,000 it will receive if voters approve Proposition 123. The school board has decided to use most of the money to give an average 4 percent raise to every employee, the first in seven years. About 36 percent of those voting agreed with that decision, but 26 percent wanted all of the money to go to teachers, 12 percent favored limiting the raise to people there for more than four years and 26 percent wanted to spend the money on reducing class sizes in the primary grades — which now average about 25. The following exchange is taken from the comment section after the poll. Payson schools do a poor job If students in lower grades have smaller classes they will learn more and go on to higher grades having basics in reading, writing and doing arithmetic. Maybe. I don’t think it can be worse. I have five grandkids that graduated from Payson and I can’t read their writing and most don’t know their multiplication tables. Three started in the Mesa public school system. Two started in a charter school in Mesa. They had a better start. Pat Randall Payson offers great education I don’t know where you get the idea none of us know our multiplication tables. I learned mine in third grade along with most of the rest of kids. I went in to jr. high as an honors student and took AP classes all through school. In ninth grade I

Re: ‘Arizona out of whack’ Editor: The letter writer argues we should “strike a balance” in Arizona politics by not voting for the party that insists people who work for a living and earn less and less every year because the worthless flat currency has no intrinsic value, should be robbed of their earnings to support those who cannot or will not work to support themselves. Instead, we should vote for the party hack that not only deprives us of our right to choose to whom our charity should go, but rakes a percentage off the top for his own benefit. The writer thinks we should vote for the party that doesn’t believe people should be paid what their labor is worth, but rather, should be paid

Wildlife Fair a chance to get back to nature

Talking REAL ESTATE

By Kimberly Anderson, REALTOR® Advantage Realty

The First Impression.

A house that sparkles on the surface will sell faster than its “shabby” neighbor, even if both are structurally well maintained. A “well dressed” house appeals to more buyers and will more than likely sell faster and probably for more money. When preparing your home for the market, spend as little money as possible. Buyers will be impressed by a brand new roof, but they aren’t likely to give you extra money to pay for it and an appraiser won’t add more to the value of the home because they expect it to have a roof, new or not. There is a big difference between making minor and inexpensive polishes and touch-ups to your house. Such as, putting new knobs on cabinets or a fresh coat of natural colored paint in the living room is recommended before doing extensive and costly renovations like installing a new kitchen. Staging is another way to put the finishing touches on a home and help it look spacious but still inviting.

Green Valley Park lakes will get an extra stocking of monster trout, and youngsters will have close encounters with javelina skulls during this weekend’s wildlife fair.

Green Valley Park in Payson will undergo a transformation when its grassy expanses turn into a carnival full of wildlife and hands-on outdoor activities for all at the 22nd Annual Wildlife Fair from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday, May 14. This annual event is a cooperative effort between the Arizona Game and Fish Department, Mogollon Sporting Association, U.S. Forest Service, and the Payson Parks, Recreation & Tourism Department. Admission is free. Parents and kids can fish, play games, and get a close-up look at wildlife, including birds of prey, rattlesnakes, Gila monsters and alligators. There will be booths from a variety of conservation groups. Green Valley Lake will receive more than double its usual stocking of trout in preparation for this event. No fishing license is required for fair attendees and equipment and bait can be borrowed from the free fishing booth at the fair. For information contact the Parks, Recreation & Tourism at 928-472-5110.

Depersonalizing and de-cluttering can be the most difficult part of selling your home, but it is often the most important thing, next to pricing it correctly. Buyers tend to have specific tastes and whether it’s modern, traditional or shabby chic - they are drawn to it. Remove any items that reflect your personal items so that the buyer can imagine themselves and their things in each room. You want the buyer to embrace your home as their future home. I also want you to take your emotion out of it and think of it as a product you are selling. You will have a new home soon to personalize all your own. This process will also give you a jump-start on your packing. Don’t let this overwhelm you. Enlist some friends and family or hire some professionals for cleaning and lawn service. Do you have way too much stuff, but can’t commit to purge? Rent a storage unit to hold the extra furniture you won’t need until you move.

Quinlan quits Payson School Board From page 1A Smart Schools program, said Jim. He recused himself from a vote the PUSD board made on Smart Schools at the meeting because of his wife returning to the district through Smart Schools. The reason the Quinlans made this difficult decision, the PUSD board has a policy that a board member may not have a spouse working at PUSD in order to avoid nepotism or the appearance of favoritism. Quinlan beat out nine other candidates in 2009 to win one of three seats up for grabs.

As a former PUSD teacher, coach, division director, and current community college instructor, Quinlan understands the struggles of teachers. Back in 2012, Jim said his teacher friends approached him to run for the board because they were very concerned about the morale in the district. Quinlan said he still has concerns. “I’m extremely concerned with the morale at the high school,” he said. Throughout his four years on the board, Jim voiced his concerns and hopes for the teachers on staff. He said he knows that

good teachers need to be cherished and supported as they are worth their weight in gold. In the end, Jim is philosophical about his years of service. “It’s just that I went in with the idea to make this district more employee and family friendly. We have made inroads, but there is much more to do.” Jim said there are a couple of options to cover his empty seat. The district could find a volunteer to replace him or they could leave the seat empty and fill it in after the election in November.

These HEROs mentor other students The Payson Unified School District board recognized the teachers and students who participated in the Readers Today Leaders Tomorrow pilot program. Superintendent Greg Wyman explained that Sheila Axlund agreed to run the program in her first grade class. Her students were then paired with reading mentors from Gina Brooks’ fourth grade class. Teachers chose the leaders based on their success in school as well as their kindness, patience, dedication and listening skills. “The main goal was to provide one-on-one attention to students who needed or wanted extra time to practice site words, improve reading skills/fluency or work on homework assignments,” said Wyman. Axlund praised the teamwork that helped the program work. “It was wonderful to see students of different ages, working together, parents and grandparents giving up their time to help out, parents and grandparents rearranging their schedules to pick up the children later,” she said. She also appreciated the families understanding the added expectations placed upon today’s first grade students. “Our expectations of what a first grader should be able to read have greatly changed over the years,” said Axlund. Wyman said the first grade students

Remember, you never get a second chance to make a first impression. Buyers are looking for well cared for homes that they can move into immediately. When you hire a professional Real Estate person to help sell your home, ask them how to make your home “picture perfect” and ready to sell!

The American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life will draw volunteers to the Payson High School Track May 14 to raise money to fund cancer research and support those who suffer. Worldwide, the event has raised nearly $5 billion.

Relay for Life on the march against cancer The American Cancer Society Relay for Life is this Saturday, May 14 at the Payson High School track field. This annual benefit for the American Cancer Society is similar to events taking place around the country to raise money for research and support services for victims of the disease. Teams and individuals will be on the Payson High School track from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday, May 14. There will be

raffles for all who enter. Prizes include memberships at Club USA, dinner at Macky’s Grill, free movies at Sawmill Theatres and more. Activities and food will be available to all, including a bounce house for kids and baked goodies from Hellsgate Fireflies. The American Cancer Society Relay for Life is the world’s largest fundraising event to end cancer. It unites communities

across the globe to celebrate people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and take action to finish the fight once and for all. Today, with the support of thousands of volunteers, the American Cancer Society is helping save more than 400 lives a day.

Society fight the nation’s biggest health concern. A year later, 340 supporters joined the overnight event. Since those first steps, the Relay For Life movement has grown into a worldwide phenomenon, raising $5 billion.

BUSINESS

Craft beers, gourmet Pizza — what’s not to like? Residents lined up waiting for Pine’s Old County Inn to open by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

It hadn’t even opened yet, but last week car after car stopped at the Old County Inn in Pine, hoping the restaurant had opened. And who could blame them. After watching years of construction go on at the corner lot on the south entrance of Pine, the Old County Inn was starting to take shape in what used to be a guest shop. On Monday, owners Michael and Jessie Dahling officially opened and as expected, they were busy. “We sold so much pizza that we had to close our tiny kitchen to prep more dough,” they wrote on their Facebook page. “We are fully reloaded and ready to go again tomorrow. We appreciate all the business and positive feedback as we are getting up and running.” The restaurant offers something different to Pine and to the Rim Country area in general: fresh, homemade food. And not just a few homemade dishes. Everything from the bacon to the sausage and pickles is made in-house. There isn’t even a freezer on the premises (alright, there is a small one to hold the gelato). Michael, the head chef, wants to offer fresh food and use as many local ingredients as possible. That means they get goat cheese from The Ranch at Fossil Creek in Strawberry and honey from The Honey Stand in Pine. And nearly everything else is organic. Michael, originally from New York City, worked as a corporate chef for Shamrock Foods for years in the Valley and just recently left to head up the Old County Inn full time. He trained at the Culinary Institute of American in Hyde Park and then spent nine months in Italy. Since then, he has worked everywhere from casinos in Atlantic City to the Phoenician in the Valley. Jessie, a San Diego native, owns a

Valley-based food brokerage business. The couple met over their love of food. As a corporate chef, Michael would travel around the state helping open new restaurants and assist chefs in crafting their menus. Michael said he got to know a lot of local chefs and business owners, including at Gerardo’s Firewood Café and Fargo’s. Nine years ago, the couple married on a neighbor’s lawn in Pine and held their reception at Sidewinders. They bought a cabin in Pine in the neighborhood behind the restaurant and three years ago, bought the property at 3502 N. Highway 87. It took a lot of work to get the restaurant ready to open. They had to get the site re-zoned through the county and then gutted the inside of the building, leaving nothing but a shell. Then they slowly rebuilt. They added a massive wood-burning oven; the wood siding on the walls is from an old barn in Jakes Corner; the bar top is from a large juniper tree that grew on the Rim; the antlers were donated by friends; the paintings are from local antique shops along with the eclectic collection of farm tools, which Jessie repurposed into beer tap handles. To bring the outside in, there are two glass garage doors on the front of the restaurant, which they can roll up when the weather is good. Keeping with the open concept, the kitchen sits just behind the bar so patrons can see their food being prepped and Michael can interact with customers. Outside, there is a large, dog-friendly patio. In all, the restaurant can seat 40. When Michael said he wanted to open the restaurant, Jessie said she was all in. The couple said they want to bring a higher caliber of food to the area. “Our philosophy is simple: great, wellmade food doesn’t have to be stuffy or expensive, it should be made for all to

enjoy.” The menu focuses on pizza. Gary Morris, the P-S Fire Chief, ordered several pizzas to go on opening day. A meat-topped one for himself and a veggie for his wife. He was surprised how much he liked the veggie pizza, which incorporates seasonal roasted veggies, like Brussels sports and cauliflower. The pizzas are large, 12- and 18-inch, and served in an irregular shape on parchment-lined sheet pans. There are several varieties of pizza including a gluten-free option with shredded tofu. You can also build your own. Also on the menu are several appetizers including breadsticks with green chili beer cheese, a charcuterie tray, handpulled cheese, hot wings made from the whole wing and several salads. On tap are Arizona craft beers. Jessie, who once worked as a wine buyer, hand selected the wine list to accompany the food and all of the specialty cocktails use fresh juice and simple syrups.

Eventually, the couple plans to add five small cabins on the south side of the property and rent them out for short stays. They settled on the Old County Inn name after learning the county road through town used to run behind the business. In addition, when they traveled through Ireland for Michael’s birthday,

Residents urged to pressure ADOT to improve highway by

Teresa McQuerrey

roundup staff reporter

Steve Stratton, Gila County’s former director of Public Works, is now on the board for the Arizona Department of Transportation, which doles out money for critical road and highway projects over the state. John Marcanti, District 3 Gila County Supervisor, said at the May 3 BOS meeting, Stratton had asked him to urge every-

one to press ADOT to get Lion Springs back in its transportation plan. ADOT has repeatedly pushed back the project to widen the remaining two-lane portion of East Highway 260 in the Rim Country, just east of Star Valley. The project dropped off the fiveyear plan completely last year. The stretch of highway not only generates a large number of accidents, it creates a traffic-snarling bottleneck most weekends

during the summer. Visit azdot.gov/whatmovesyouarizona for more information on ADOT’s Long-Range Transportation Plan. The public can leave a comment at azdot. gov/whatmovesyouarizona/comments. The final version of the plan is expected to be complete in early 2017. The final meeting in ADOT’s first series of Think Ahead about Transportation workshops

was held Thursday, May 12 at the Maricopa Association of Governments, 302 N. First Ave. in Phoenix. Community members, businesses and stakeholders were invited to provide input and ideas to shape the long-range vision for Arizona’s transportation system during the workshop. The session concluded a series of workshops that started in January. ADOT’s Long-Range Transportation Plan looks 25

years down the road to prioritize both maintenance of the existing system and construction of new roads. Because ADOT never has enough money to do everything, it relies on public reaction to set priorities. More than 350 people representing more than 150 organizations around Arizona participated in the previous statewide workshops. A full report on all the workshops will be posted on

the long-range plan website. The next round of public comment opportunities will include another set of workshops, along with an interactive online tool that will allow people to weigh in on the criteria that will be used to select improvement projects in the future. For more information, please email Dillon Kennedy at dkennedy@azdot.gov or call 602-7127106.

Charity cake auction open to everyone Local celebrities pitch in to bake cakes for auction The residents of Rim Country are all invited to show off their cake-baking prowess at a brand new event — a cake auction. The auction is from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., Sunday, May 22 at the Payson United Methodist Church at 414 N. Easy Street (behind Ace Hardware and the Habitat for Humanity Restore). You can participate as a cake baker, a cake bidder or both. Local celebrities will bake cakes for auction, including Payson Mayor Kenny Evans; Star Valley Mayor Ronnie McDaniel; Police Chief Don Engler; Fire Chief David Staub; Bobby Davis, the Payson economic development director; Lance Porter, chief executive officer of Banner Payson Medical Center; Jason Norman, executive director of Payson Care Center; plus a number of other business owners and names you might know. However, anyone who wants to “get in on the action” is welcome to bake their favorite cake and participate in the auction as well. Bakers should bring their homemade cake to the Payson United Methodist Church between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. May 22. Bidders are encouraged to visit the church between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. to view the cakes and

bid in person. Those who cannot be at the church can place their bids by calling 928-4682226 between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m., Saturday, May 22. If by chance you get a voice message when you call, please call back. Auctioneers for the afternoon will be the entertaining duo of KMOG’s Ron Gibson and John Landino. Since it is rodeo weekend, Miss Rodeo Arizona 2016 Alanna Hamilton will be a special guest at the auction along with her horse, “Miss Reckless.” Get in on the action. Start thinking about the kind of cake you will bake and challenge one of your neighbors, friends or co-workers to make one as well

Let Me Put My 25 Years of Experience to Work for You. and then see who gets bragging rights for the highest bid. Since each cake will be sold on the plate or surface it is on, please remember that it will not be returned to you.

Many factors influence the outcome of a real estate transaction. Allow me to demystify the process so that once you have ALL the information you can feel confident with your decisions.

If you have any questions, please call Nancy Landino at 928-468-0026. Proceeds will benefit The Time Out Shelter, Payson Community Kids and Payson UMC missions.

Tanner Hatch and Darrin Prock also volunteered to get into the cold water of the tank. The event lasted from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m. Spring Fling attendees enjoyed not only eating popcorn and cotton candy, but root beer floats, soda and water. Hobson said a silent auction with 30 baskets full of donated items proved popular. The Spring Fling coincided with a book fair, said Hobson. “We also had our book fair running all week,” she said. “The book fair was also a huge success.” All in all, Hobson said the Spring Fling was a success — especially for the kids. “The kids had a blast,” she said.

Coach: ‘I couldn’t be more proud of them’ Longhorns to return wealth of experience in hunt for elusive title by

Keith Morris

roundup sports editor

TEMPE — Nobody thought they’d even be here. That realization certainly helped soothe the sadness that Payson players felt watching yet another team celebrate a state championship at Arizona State University’s Farrington Softball Stadium on Tuesday night. This was different. It wasn’t like 2014 when the mighty Longhorns charged into the playoffs as the No. 1 seed and reached the final game for the first time only to watch the title slip away late in a heartbreaking loss to perennial powerhouse Winslow.

The Longhorns pose with the Division 3 state runner-up trophy at Arizona State University’s Farrington Softball Stadium following their 8-0 loss to Tucson Catalina Foothills in the title game on Tuesday night. And it certainly wasn’t like last season when the Longhorns again stampeded through the regular season to claim the No. 1 ranking and appeared ready and able to ascend to the throne only to watch

junior stars Arissa Paulson and Anilese Hayes suffer injuries and No. 6 Tucson Empire wrestle the title away from their grasp. No, this was much different.

This year the Longhorns knew all season they’d be without Paulson and Hayes, who didn’t play because of injury.

Horns just miss reaching state golf tourney Freshman qualifies individually for state Payson High’s golf team entered the season-ending Metro Invitational at McDowell Mountain Golf Club in Scottsdale on May 6-7 trying to claim a spot in the Division 3 state tournament. They came up four strokes short. The Longhorns finished seventh among 15 teams in the 36-hole tournament. Nine of those holes counted as a state qualifier. “They played hard until the end and had their lowest nine-hole total of the year on a par-36 course,” said first-year Longhorns’ head coach Randy Mathews. According to the coach, the Longhorns shot 21-over par 165 to bring their season average for their best seven rounds to 31.310. They needed to be at 30.837 to advance to this

weekend’s state tournament. “That’s four shots over seven rounds of play-five count-four scores,” Mathews said. “That’s as close as it gets.” The top 15 teams qualify for the state tournament. Payson wound up 16th. “We had a good run,” Mathews said. “I wish we could’ve gotten there because I know we can play with the top 15 and beat several of them, but this is how the system works and we didn’t go low enough.” Improvement

The coach said the team improved. “We got better as the season progressed, adding four of our seven best scores on our last five matches,” Mathews said. “We only had two returning varsity players and that makes it difficult when the kids are playing a course for the first time and they need to put up a good score.” Although the team just missed qualifying for the state tournament at Prescott’s Antelope Hills Golf Course, which takes place today and Saturday, freshman Rayce

Mathews qualified individually by recording the 13th lowest qualifying average among golfers not on a qualifying team. The top 15 individuals not on a qualifying team make it to state. Bryce Goodman finished 16th, missing the cut by three shots. Mathews stood in 16th place entering the final tournament and needed a good final round to move up. And he got it, shooting 39 for the nine-hole portion of the tournament used for qualifying to jumping three spots to No. 13. Mitchell McGuire finished 19th, missing the state meet by six shots. “It really shows how every shot matters,” coach Mathews said. The 39 helped Rayce Mathews fire his lowest 36-hole total of the year to lead Payson in the 36-hole tournament. Scottsdale Prep won with a score of 64-over par. Payson was 129 over. Mathews shot 82-81—163 to finish 11th in the individual standings. Also for the Longhorns, Goodman shot 85-82—167 and finished tied for 15th, McGuire (91-88—179) finished 35th, Clay Kaufman (104-91—195) 49th, and Bailey Newman (101101—202) 50th.

Frosh paces Payson in state track by

roundup sports editor

Freshman Meredith Kiekintveld finished fourth in the girls 100-meter hurdles to lead all Payson High athletes in the Division 3 state track meet at Mesa Community College on Friday, May 6 and Saturday, May 7. Kiekintveld entered the state meet ranked No. 2 in the state behind Walden Grove junior Jala Pinckney. But Kiekintveld ran her preliminary heat in 16.61 seconds. Pinckney went 16.66 in the prelims. However, Pinckney ran 16.05 in the finals to win. The Longhorn went 16.67 in the finals to finish behind Pinckney, Fountain Hills junior Kelsey Schulz (16.41) and Show Low senior Candace Hutson (16.61). Kiekintveld led Payson to 22nd place in the team standings with nine points. Fountain Hills won the girls championship with 91 points. The freshman also finished 19th in the triple jump (31 feet 4 1/2 inches).

The top eight in each event score points for the team. Senior Wyatt Chapman finished fifth in the 100 dash in 11.29 for Payson’s boys team, which finished tied for 19th with 11 points. Snowflake won the boys meet with 89 1/2 points. Chapman was looking to return to the top of the medal stand after winning the 100 as a sophomore. Injuries hampered him the last two seasons. Equaling Chapman’s fifth-place finish for Payson was junior Trey Glasscock, who placed fifth in the discus (132-9). He took 11th in the shot put (43-6 1/2). Junior Korben White looked to be headed for a strong state meet after qualifying with the second-best effort (141-9) this season in the discus. That distance would have earned him second place in the state meet behind Show Low’s Jaisen Brown (154-5). He qualified in the shot put with the fifth-best put of the season. However, he didn’t compete due to an

illness. Senior Gerardo Moceri placed seventh in the 3200 in 10:03.84 and 10th in the 1600 in 4:40.23. He was 24th in the 800 in 2:14.03. Senior Nathan Cluff placed eighth in the 300 hurdles in 43.47. Senior Brigham Flake tied for 16th in the pole vault (11-0). The boys 4x800 ran 8:54.06 to finish 18th. Junior JT Dolinich placed 18th in the triple jump (39-2) and 20th in the long jump (19-11). Payson finished seventh in the girls 4x800 in 10:20.67. Senior Abigail Greenleaf finished eighth in the 800 in 2:27.96 and 15th in the 1600 in 5:38.39. Junior Sadie Sweeney finished eighth in the shot put (31-8.5) and 19th in the discus (85-3). Freshman Savannah White finished 13th in the high jump (4-10) and 20th in the long jump (15-0.75). Senior Taryn North finished 18th in the high jump (4-8).

Young team concludes stellar season From page 1B

Solution to 5/10 puzzle

Catalina Foothills 8, Payson 0

So they knew just making the playoffs would be an accomplishment to be proud of. With just three returning starters from a year ago and six sophomores in the everyday lineup, nobody expected much. They didn’t expect another section championship. But that’s just what this young squad won. And they didn’t expect a fifth consecutive appearance in the state semifinals. But that’s just what this team managed to earn. And they certainly didn’t expect a third straight berth in the championship game with an imposing foe like Yuma Cibola standing in the way. But they knocked off the No. 1 team in the state to return to the final once again. That’s when expectations changed. If the No. 5 Longhorns could beat the Raiders, why couldn’t they beat No. 7 Tucson Catalina Foothills? After years of high expectations that led to heartbreak, maybe these kids could actually do what no previous team had managed when no one was expecting it. But it just wasn’t meant to be. Sophomore Nic Conway capped a dominant season in the circle to pitch the Falcons (26-10) to their first state crown as Catalina Foothills beat the Longhorns 8-0. She scattered four hits and two walks while striking out 14 to finish with 302 strikeouts for the season. CF, with an enrollment of approximately 1,600 according to their coach, which is roughly twice that of Payson, dropped down from Div. 2 this season. Senior first baseman Jewel Johnson had half of Payson’s hits, going 2-for-3 with a double. “This team’s come a long way and they’ve busted their butts over the season to make this happen,” Johnson said. “I’m proud of

Payson finished 22-8-2 after starting the year 1-3. Shortstop Becky Bauer, along with Johnson and Rachel Spooner, was one of Payson’s three senior starters. She said she’s excited to watch what this team does the next couple of years. “They’ve got great potential,” Bauer said. “It’s such a young team. I’m so proud of this team. No one expected us to do this. How many people can say they finished second three years in a row?” Payson head coach Curtis Johnson is confident the Longhorns would have claimed the first title in program history had Arissa Paulson and Anilese Hayes been healthy this season. “It’s a shame we didn’t have (Arissa) because with her and Anilese both there’s no question

in my mind that we would have ran the table undefeated and be holding the championship trophy,” the skipper said. “But you always play the hand that you’re dealt.” He’s optimistic about the future with so many experienced players returning. “It’s a little disappointing we didn’t show better (tonight) but we’re an extremely young team,” the coach said. “You could see a little bit of jitters in there. It wasn’t our best game, but I’m excited for next year. “We’ve got a lot of talent coming up and both our pitchers are sophomores, so we’ll be back in some competitive way. “It’s always tough to get to the championship game; I don’t care how good you are. And the fact we’re here again three times in a row, especially with the adversity this team faced and the hard work this group put in — I couldn’t be more proud of them.” The coach will have the Longhorns ready for another run in 2017. “We’ve already got a great

May 15-21 is National Dog Bite Prevention Week: How to avoid a dog bite by the Humane United States

Society of the

How do you avoid getting bit by a dog? Start by being polite and respecting the dog’s personal space. Never approach an unfamiliar dog, especially one who’s tied or confined behind a fence or in a car. Don’t pet a dog — even your own — without letting Humane Society him see and sniff you of Central Arizona first. Don’t disturb a dog while she’s sleep- ADOPTION ing, eating, chewing OPTIONS on a toy or caring for puppies. Be cautious around strange dogs. Always assume that a dog who doesn’t know you may see you as an intruder or a threat. Pay attention to the dog’s body language. Put a safe amount of space between yourself and a dog if you see the following signals indicating that the dog is uncomfortable and might feel the need to bite: tensed body, stiff tail, pulled back head and/or ears, furrowed brow, eyes rolled so the whites are visible, yawning, flicking tongue, intense stare, backing away. When putting space between yourself

and a dog that might bite, never turn your back on him and run away. A dog’s natural instinct will be to chase you. If you are approached by a dog that may attack you, follow these steps: Resist the impulse to scream and run away. Remain motionless, hands at your sides, and avoid eye contact with the dog. Once the dog loses interest in you, slowly back away until he is out of sight. If the dog does attack, “feed” him your jacket, purse, bicycle or anything that you can put between yourself and the dog. If you fall or are knocked to the ground, curl into a ball with your hands over your ears and remain motionless. Try not to scream or roll around. If you are bitten or attacked by a dog, try not to panic. Immediately wash the wound thoroughly with soap and warm water. Contact your physician for additional care and advice. Report the bite to your local animal care and control agency. Tell the animal control official everything you know about the dog, including his owner’s name and the address where he lives. If the dog is a stray, tell the animal control official what the dog looks like, where you saw him, whether you’ve seen him before and in which direction he went.

the comment that, “Good Old Charlie Dawes was the best vice president this nation had ever.” “Vice president?” I asked myself. “When? Under Washington, Lincoln, or Jefferson?” The fact that I didn’t know the answer didn’t bother me one bit right at that moment. But a few days later, stung by the irritating gnat of curiosity when I heard Mom mention the name again, I went to the library and found out that Charles Dawes had served under Calvin Coolidge — until they both left office in 1929. What did I say when I finally found out who Dawes was? Because the date mentioned was 1929, I asked myself, “Who cares about ancient history?” All too often, such is the mindset of youth: If it didn’t happen last week — on TV! — it ain’t worth knowing. And

although it’s hard to admit it, I confess that a lot of that attitude stayed with me until just a few years ago. What changed my mind? Of all things! The Internet! How? I stumbled upon a site (http://www. gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page) that offered me 50,000 free books which I could read right on my little old laptop if only I would go to another site (https:// www.adobe.com/solutions/ebook/digital-editions/download.html) and accept the gift of an equally free ebook reader — no strings attached! So I went there and did that, and I now have about 2,000 of those free books at my fingertips anytime I want to read. I am, for example, now the proud owner of every single Sherlock Holmes story ever written. And instead of reading in some dust-dry history book about

Cut in butter and mix until ball of dough forms. Place half of the mixture in an 8-inchby-8-inch pan. Mash up the cranberry sauce and put into pan so all the dough is covered.

Characters Under the Rim – Al Sieber, Part 1 When you drive through Tonto Basin and approach the Roosevelt Dam along State Route 188 you will probably be so awed by the magnificent modern bridge over Roosevelt Lake you will miss seeing the sandstone monument on your left. It marks the location where Al Sieber lost his life on Feb. 19, 1907 during construction of the road. Volumes have been written about the illustrious life of this interesting character, but he is best known in the Rim Country for his years as General Crook’s chief of scouts and his part in the struggle to subdue the Native tribes. [1] He was 28 years old when General George Stoneman hired him to be chief of scouts, and though he was only in his 20s he already had a lifetime of experiences. Born in the German town of Minglosheim, northwest of Stuttgart, he was the 13th of 14 children. His father died when Al was young and several years later his mother emigrated to the

vation, analysis and deduction that would make Al Sieber an outstanding scout. But first he became the foreman of a ranch near Prescott, and experienced sharp engagements with Indian raiders who drove off the livestock. The rest of Al Sieber’s life was shaped by an event that occurred in 1871. The Apache and Yavapai Indians were devastating ranches and wagon trains throughout Arizona, and the efforts of the U.S. Army were not sufficient to protect the increasing number of settlers. The Military Department of Arizona appointed General George Crook to take leadership of the Indian War. Crook would soon be commissioned as a general, and was assigned the task of eliminating “the Indian problem.” After an “on the ground” survey of the Army posts under his command, and personal talks with the several tribes who were more friendly, namely the Pimas, Maricopas and White Mountain Apaches, he concluded

that the Apaches, with their guerrilla-type warfare, would never be defeated by the cavalry’s traditional tactics. He also discovered that the Indian tribes did not have a common loyalty, but many groups even among the Apaches were enemies of each other. Taking advantage of this he enlisted members of the tribes to be scouts seeking out Indian camps and joining the Army troops in battle. Next Crook needed extraordinary men to lead and control the companies of Indian scouts. It was for this purpose Al Sieber was hired for $125 a month and based at Camp Verde. Within a couple of years his prowess at the job earned him the title of chief of scouts. [1] The definitive book on his life is “Al Sieber: Chief of Scouts,” University of Oklahoma Press, 1967.

... and time Granite Dells in Payson and Prescott showcase strange landscape of giant, rounded boulders Story and Photos by Greg McKelvey geologist photographer

Payson and Prescott have at least one thing in common, besides the longstanding rodeo wars. We’ve both got granite fit to send a photographer into a frenzy. Both offer the most distinctive of granite landscapes — a “dell” outfitted with mysteriously rounded, giant, sculptural granite boulders. In Prescott, this landscape sets off Watson Lake and Willow Creek Reservoir, nearly as popular as Sedona with photographers. Easy to reach, convenient to lodging and good eats, these man-made lakes are known for their geomorphic feature, The Granite Dells. Payson’s Granite Dells don’t get as much attention, but offer one of the region’s scenic treasures — which hikers, mountain bikers and horseback riders would love to turn into one of the region’s scenic attractions. We encounter granite every day in many forms — including kitchen countertops. Igneous rocks are classified by their mineral composition and granite is but one of many igneous rocks. Stone slabbers and Home Depot give these same rocks more personal names like Norway blue. Gabbro, monzonite and the other geo stone words do not sell. That said, the Payson Dells are correctly classified a granite with just the right amount of quartz, two types of feldspar, mica and some iron-bearing minerals including magnetite. Normally, to create a rounded boulder you have to tumble it down a river or stream. But granite often naturally erodes into giant spheres. Spheroidal weathering of rock occurs all over the world. OK, Watson, spheroidal weathering is a mouthful for the process that makes rocks round by ever so patiently removing all the corners. The1.4-billion-year-old Dells’ granite in Prescott is a magma that formed a molten blob of rock some two miles beneath the surface. Still buried under tremendous pressure, the magma cooled slowly enough to crystallize as a uniform rock. As uplift pressed the layers toward the surface, the overlying rock layers eroded away. The stress of that rise created stress joints that cracked

The lines of calcium left by the rise and fall of water levels in Prescott’s Granite Dells Reservoir look like rock layers, but that’s an illusion.

The shallow reservoir that has filled in between the giant, rounded boulders of Prescott’s the rocks into cubes. Once the buried layers Granite Dells (top two photos) seems like an example of erosion at work. In fact, the giant, of once molten granite reached the surface, rounded boulders were produced by “spheroidal weathering” a very different process from weathering along joints produced the round- tumbling rocks along a stream bed. ed boulders typical of granitic terrains — including Payson’s own Granite Dells. As an aside the Watson Lake Dells granite also boasts an unusually high uranium content. Spheroidal weathering that creates secondary minerals of a larger volume. Water will penetrate the bedrock along joints, increase in mineral volume, swell up and widen the fractures. Eventually, these softer infiltrated minerals erode away. The weathering is greatest along the corners of each block, followed by the edges, and finally the faces of the cube. This process is not mechanical weathering, it’s chemical. Like Bunsen Honeydo said in “The Muppet Show,” better erosion through chemistry. The high water marks, called bathtub rings, are mineral deposits composed largely of calcium deposited as waters evaporated upon receding. Our Payson Granite Dells waited like forever to be exposed to the surface and now they too are being reduced to sand. The Dells are dominated by large rounded boulders or outcrops rounded on the edges with piles of coarse sand piled up around the base, with the sand made of the same and only a sand at the base. A course sand, not like the fine sand on your favorite beach. Quartz, Feldspar, mica and black minerals as the granite. The Payson’s Granite Dells formed by the same process from fracminerals formed as the hot magma cooled in tured slabs of granite that cooled miles beneath the surface before place to become granite. That happened deep being lifted into place and exposed to the relentless sculpting of under the surface. water. Grains of the granite chip off along wide fractures, creating the distinctive rounded shapes. See Granite Dells, page 6C

The granite landscape of Granite Dells in Prescott had its start in a blob of molten granite miles beneath the surface. As it rose to the surface, wide fissures formed in the rock. Water and ice used those fissures to create the giant, rounded boulders you see today.

Granite Dells From page 1C The buried granite eventually made its way to the surface, where shifts in the earth created wide cracks. Time continues to slip away and the cracks, called fractures, allow the slow, but oh so relentless, attack of water to channel down the fractures, removing the minerals grain by grain. There are no minions out there at night with hammers and chisels rounding the corners, it is the water! Life-giving water reduces even the hardest rocks to sand. What makes the Dells so unique — both in Prescott and Payson — is that the landscape is made of just the big round boulders or sand, with little in between. The weathering of other types of rock like sandstone and limestone produces lose rocks of all sizes, from pebbles to boulders. The result of spheroidal weathering at the Payson Dells is an open forest, since the weathered granite produces poor soil for the plants. This is work in progress and long after the last Roundup edition is published, there will be more sand and fewer boulders. The sand washes away as the mountain flattens. It is the water! So Dells need a dense granite, wide fractures, water and time to produce the landscape we see today. Eventually, the bits of granite will return to the sea where tectonic plates may well push them back under a continent to be melted, pushed up as hot magma, and start the cycle again. Payson’s own Granite Dells also offers a great place to photograph these natural, abstract sculptures. If you want to wander further afield try the Stronghold granite in the Chiricahua Mountains, I-10 east of Benson, and along Arizona Highway 87 just before you reach the Valley. The challenge to the photographer is the mainly the lighting. The boulder edges and fractures offer shadow and lines. Water reflections are just downright stunning. If there ever is a place for early morning and late afternoon tripod photography, it is Watson Lake. I would like to try some night work, accepting that the lights of the greater Prescott metroplex will dim out some stars, there should be some good angles and perhaps even moonlight shots to take.

This aerial view of Prescott’s Granite Dells shows the alignment of the fissures that sculpted the landscape.
