Report to the Regents A rodeo family ASU said official ‘partner’ for scaled down Payson branch campus plan by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

Arizona State University has agreed to open a branch in Payson, with a planned firstyear enrollment of 300 to 350, Rim Country Educational Foundation President Gary Cordell said during a presentation at the Payson Tea Party this week. ASU has agreed to present the Payson project to the Arizona Board of Regents at its quarterly meeting in June in executive session, said Cordell. ASU told the Roundup it does not expect the Regents to take any formal action at that time. This comes after years of uncertainty and speculation about whether ASU would collaborate with the Rim Country Educational Alliance to operate the facility. However, the initial plan has apparently been scaled down to address concerns raised by ASU, according to Cordell’s

presentation. For the first time publicly, Cordell said he believes that ASU is “definitely a partner.” The Alliance and the Foundation have been negotiating with ASU representatives since they finally concluded purchase of the 253-acre site last October. Gaining ownership of the land took years longer than backers had hoped, leaving the project in limbo. “This has been a long time in coming,” Cordell told a packed audience. With the land in hand, things have been moving at an accelerated pace. Cordell said plans call for students to start class in September 2018, with students living on campus in dorms. ASU is continuing to work on an intergovernmental agreement and master lease with the Foundation and Alliance.

Monty James makes his Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association debut in this week’s Gary Hardt Memorial Spring Rodeo in Payson. He’ll compete in team roping at 7 o’clock tonight at Payson Event Center. It’s just a natural transition for the 18-year-old who graduated early this year from Payson Center For Success. He grew up in a rodeo family. His dad, Clint, mother, Teri, and older sister, Jessi, are all rodeo veterans.

Proposition 123 won by a whisker, assuring Payson teachers of an average 4 percent raise after a seven-year pay freeze. Statewide, the proposition won by less than 1 percent of the vote cast in a low-turnout special election. The proposition did better in Gila County, which at 37.1 percent had the third highest turnout in the state. The measure to settle a lawsuit and provide $350 million in added funding for K-12 annually won 52 percent of the vote in Gila County. The proposition fared best in Maricopa and other Republican-dominated counties. It lost in several counties with large numbers of Democrats, including Pima and Coconino counties. The results suggested most of the opponents may

have favored more money for schools, but didn’t like the deal worked out by Gov. Doug Ducey, which pulled 60 percent of the money to settle the inflation lawsuit out of the State Land Trust’s cash fund — which is reserved for schools anyway. Proposition 123 will provide about $3.5 billion extra for schools over the next decade, much of it by increasing the distribution from the land fund cash account from 2.5 percent to 6.9 percent. State Treasurer Jeff DeWit headed up a bare-bones campaign to defeat the measure with the argument it will cost schools money in the long run and trigger property tax increases in high-wealth districts and districts with voter-approved budget overrides. Gov. Ducey argued it will settle the lawsuit and get more money to schools immediately, without raising

Second-graders return to PES Michele Nelson

For the first time in two years, all second-grade students will attend Payson Elementary School. In 2013, the Payson Unified School District sought to ease overcrowding at PES by splitting the second-grade class between Julia Randall Elementary and PES. A vote to fund all-day kindergarten prompted the move. The board voted for all-day kindergarten despite the lack of state funding. The overwhelming enrollment response in kinderTHE WEATHER

garten overtaxed the space available at PES. Now things have settled down. “When we look at the class sizes and the number of rooms available, we can accommodate second grade at PES,” said PUSD Superintendent Greg Wyman. “This allows for all the teachers and students to be at the same site and for tighter alignment of curriculum.” When the board voted to separate the second-grade class three years ago, a debate raged on whether the money from the sale of Frontier Elementary School should be used to expand PES. At the time, some argued that the supposedly imminent start of the university project would require extra capacity in the schools. Wyman said current projections are less rosy now. “Just in looking at current growth patterns in town, we are not seeing a significant growth in new houses, so we would not anticipate significant growth in the grade levels,” he said. “There is a challenge regarding incoming kindergarten students, since the community has a shortage of preschool options. The indicators point to the ability of PES to handle the number of students projected and the number of classrooms available.”

The enrollment for Payson schools is on the rise — but just barely. The increase of about 28 students will boost the district’s support from the state by about $50,000, said Superintendent Greg Wyman at the school board’s May 9 meeting. “We had some growth of ADM (enrollment) in the spring,” said Wyman. However, Business Manager Kathie Manning said the increased enrollment will let the district increase its spending cap

From page 1A Monty plans to continue his rodeo career at Central Arizona College in Casa Grande. That’s after he finishes the Arizona High School Rodeo Association season in the state finals rodeo in Payson from June 8-11. Monty will compete with Justin Simon on two runs tonight. He’s thrilled to compete in a PRCA event, especially in Payson. “It’s where all the pros go, so it’s a big deal,” Monty said. “I’m very excited.” He’s able to participate in the Gary Hardt Memorial Spring Rodeo because he purchased a $300 professional permit, good for one year. He doesn’t have a pro card, which costs $600. A permit allows him to enter some PRCA rodeos, but not all of them. “For your first two years you get your permit and figure it out,” he said. He’s got a head start in figuring it out because of his family. “It’s a blessing,” he said. “Not a lot of people get to do this and I feel blessed that I’m able to.” He qualified for the High School National Finals Rodeo in Rock Springs, Wyo. in calf roping last year. It was quite an experience that should help him this weekend and in the future. “It was amazing,” he said. “I met a lot of cool people who were in the PRCA for a long time.”

based on enrollment at the end of the school year. Under the new system, schools won’t know exactly how much money they’ll get until school starts in August. That will hurt schools with declining enrollment. “When we move to current-year funding, your current year budget will be adjusted until the 100th day numbers are finalized,” she said. Wyman told the board to prepare for more revisions. “This may not be the last revised budget. If Prop 123 passes we have to do another revision in June,” he said.

slightly. “We can’t increase the budget. Except for growth. We can increase for growth,” said Manning. Usually, the budget approved in July by the board locks the district into a spending cap for the rest of the year. She said the additional funding will continue, so long as the enrollment remains the same. That will likely change in the future as the state shifts to “current year funding” for schools. Under the present system, school boards adopt a budget in July that locks in funding

Jessi (right) and her mother, Teri, practice team roping. He hopes to be a rancher one day. Monty has been competing in the Grand Canyon Pro Rodeo Association the last three years. He also competed in both the AHSRA and the Arizona Junior Rodeo Association last year. He opted to not compete in the AJRA this year. “Last year I was in a lot of rodeos,” he said. “Dang near every weekend you’re at a rodeo.” Once upon a time, his dad had envisioned partnering up with his son in a PRCA event. “Monty’s going to go to his first PRCA and rope with somebody else,” Clint said from his horse during family team roping practice at their home in Little Green Valley this week. “I kind of hoped it would be with me.” They might have roped together tonight, but Clint suffered an accident five years ago while performing as a stunt man for a television show. He fell seven stories and blew out both ankles and feet. He spent most of his career in television and the movies as a horse-oriented stunt man. “I was doing a test for “Fear Factor” and we catapulted off the top of the Sears Factory in Los Angeles,” he said. “There was human error and I hit the ground.” It took him three years to recover. Walking is painful and running out of the question. But he still rides. “Riding isn’t too bad as long as I’m on a gentle horse and I stay on the good ones,” he said. Before the accident, Clint won the team roping championship in the World’s Oldest Continuous Rodeo in Payson with Mark Simon, Justin’s uncle. “My dad’s won almost everything,” Monty said. Clint said he and Teri hoped

We all share a love for horses. They are amazing animals.” The family owns anywhere from eight to 10 horses and uses six of them while roping on the 10 acres they live on. The property is owned by Hal and Tex Earnhardt and the family manages the property. “This place will fill up with horses in the summer and they come up and rope,” Clint said. Teri and Jessi were scheduled to compete together in team roping for the women’s portion of this weekend’s rodeo on Thursday night. They compete together in both this and the August rodeo in Payson every year. “I love roping with her,” Teri said. “We get to practice three or four times a week and we enjoy roping together.” Teri is also entered in barrel racing on Friday night. She has been involved in rodeo since she was 6 or 7 and continued while

at Chandler High, at Scottsdale Community College and now in the pro ranks. These days she only competes in the Gary Hardt and the August rodeo in Payson. She said rodeo is such a good family activity. “We just love going together,” Teri said. “We used to all go together to all those AJRA (rodeos) all through Monty’s high school years. It’s a really good way to keep the family together.” Teri works for Gila County’s cooperative extension. Jessi, 23, a 2011 Payson High graduate, works part-time for Caring Connections For Special Needs while taking classes at Gila Community College. She previously attended Central Arizona College and hopes for a career as an X-ray technician. She’s been roping competitively for 10 or 11 years. Jessi is the header, while her mom is the heeler when they team up, as they have in both the spring and August rodeos. Jessi was also scheduled to compete in breakaway on Thursday. “I’ve been riding since I could walk,” Jessi said. “I’ve always loved to ride.” While she enjoys breakaway, it’s the practicing with her mother and the couple of times a year she gets to compete with her that mean the most to Jessi. “It’s special to me because we can’t rope together at many rodeos,” Jessi said. But it’s not just her and her mom during practice. Sometimes her dad is her practice partner and sometimes it’s her brother. “We get to travel together as a family,” Jessi said. “We can all do our own separate things, but eventually we meet back here and rope. It’s the one thing we can all do together and have fun. “My dad and mom are our coaches, mentors, biggest supporters and No. 1 fans.”

Interpreting Prop. 123 win

• May 19, 1715: The colony of New York passes a law making it illegal to “gather, rake, take up, or bring to the market, any oysters whatsoever” between May and September. This regulation was one of many passed in the early days of America to help preserve certain species. • May 22, 1856: Rep. Preston Brooks (D-S.C.) savagely beats Sen. Charles Sumner (R-Mass.) in the halls of Congress as tensions rise over the expansion of slavery. Wielding the gold-topped cane he used for injuries suffered in a duel over politics in 1840, Brooks entered the Senate chamber and attacked Sumner at his desk. • May 20, 1873: San Francisco businessman Levi Strauss and Reno, Nev., tailor Jacob Davis are given a patent to create work pants reinforced with metal rivets, marking the birth of one of the world’s most famous garments: blue jeans. They were originally called “waist overalls.” • May 21, 1881: Humanitarians Clara Barton and Adolphus Solomons found the American National Red Cross to provide humanitarian aid to victims of wars and natural disasters.

roposition 123 has passed, with about 51 percent of the vote. Payson teachers can now expect their first raise in seven years. And the school district will for the first time in years adopt a budget that involves something besides painful, wrenching choices. But we hope state lawmakers will not mistake the message the voters sent in the razor thin approval of Proposition 123, which will repay schools about 70 percent of what the Legislature owed after illegally withholding an inflation adjustment ordered by the voters. The proposition lost in heavily Democratic areas like Pima County, with a long history of support for increased education funding. Before the election, Gov Doug Ducey said lawmakers might take a rejection of Prop. 123 as a sign of weak voter support for education. We hope they won’t misinterpret the narrow margin of victory. In fact, the proposition very nearly lost because it represented a grudging settlement of a lawsuit lawmakers provoked by defying the will of the voters by shortchanging our schools. Moreover, Gov. Doug Ducey didn’t do his own cause with education advocates much good by repeatedly saying the best thing about Prop. 123 was that it got more money to schools without a tax increase. Instead, he should have stressed the urgent need to support students and teachers in the state with the worst per-student funding in the nation. And even when making his tax cutting brags, he failed to mention that boosting the base funding levels will trigger small property tax increases in highwealth districts as well as districts like Payson where voters have approved 10 percent budget over rides for local schools. So we hope Gov. Ducey wasn’t trying to con education advocates when he said Prop. 123 represents just the first step in the long and vital struggle to improve our schools and support students and teachers. Our state cannot prosper unless Gov. Ducey and others convince lawmakers to reverse their long neglect of our schools and universities. Still, politics remains the art of the possible. So we urged our readers to support Proposition 123 as the best deal schools could get in the short term – knowing the real battle still lies ahead of us if we’re going to save our schools in the long term. So we hope teachers will take the passage of Proposition 123 as a sign that help is on the way. Already this year, we’re losing a heartbreaking number of the best teachers in the Payson School District – teachers who have made a huge difference in the lives of thousands of children in the course of their greathearted careers, but who grew too discouraged to continue. Our children cannot thrive, our economy cannot mend, our state cannot grow unless we rally now around our schools and our children. It is our prayer that the passage of Proposition 123 is the first sign of that shift. And we also pray that lawmakers will take its narrow passage as a sign that voters won’t tolerate further attacks on school funding by lawmakers disdainful of the law, the voters and the welfare of our children.

Celebrating, sort of Rim Country Educational Foundation President Gary Cordell gave a presentation this week to the Payson Tea Party about the prospects for a deal with Arizona State University to build a campus in Payson. Initially, it sounded pretty encouraging. ASU has finally agreed to partner with the Foundation and the Rim Country Educational Alliance to operate a campus here. Granted, ASU figures it will only get about 300 students in the first year – instead of 600 to 1,000. Moreover, ASU supposedly thinks it will only get about 2,500 students at build-out, rather than the 6,000 backers have been talking about for the past five years. Well, OK. This is our field of dreams. Build it and they will come. Of course, the tentative step forward comes with the customary caveats. We’ve been waiting for years to see the plan presented to the Board of Regents, but this discussion will reportedly take place in executive session. The best we can hope for is a nod from the Board of Regents so ASU can keep negotiating, with the goal of starting classes for the first 300 students in the fall of 2018. Well, we’re happy negotiations continue. And we’ll pop the champagne once ASU officials stand up in public and call for a bit of bubbly. In the meantime, Payson’s got plenty to do with the tools at hand to turn the American Gulch into a world-class amenity, revitalize Main Street, build bike trails, improve schools and bolstering the economy.

Senators file amendment to prevent USFWS from restricting recreational boating Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Jeff Flake (R-AZ) filed an amendment to the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Appropriations Bill that would drive U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services (USFWS) to drop its proposed restrictions on recreational boating at Havasu National Wildlife Refuge in Arizona, which would have a devastating impact on the local and regional economy. Currently, a portion of federal taxes that boaters pay on fuel is deposited into the federal Highway Trust Fund. A portion of those funds is later allocated to the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund to be used by agencies

including USFWS. The senators’ amendment would prevent USFWS from collecting this tax revenue unless the agency lifts its proposed boating restrictions at Havasu National Wildlife Refuge. USFWS currently receives about $6 million from taxes on boat sales, fuel, and

fishing equipment from Arizona alone. “USFWS’s proposal to restrict recreational boating near Lake Havasu could devastate small businesses throughout the region that depend on the millions of people who visit every year to enjoy boating, water skiing, and other activities on the lake,” said Senator McCain. “We believe that USFWS should not be permitted to use boaters’ tax dollars to unduly restrict access to one of the most popular boating locations in Arizona. The USFWS should rethink its proposal and listen to the concerns raised by the citizens of Mohave County whose lives and livelihoods depend

Payson water and street repair crew lauded Editor: Sunday evening a city water supply line leak was discovered by our neighbors. Within a half hour, a street crew member was on sight to confirm the location of the leak. Within a few minutes he returned with the city’s pumper truck, and cut a two-foot-square in the street surface. By the time he had cut the hole, three more members of the Town of Payson street crew arrived and they began excavating a hole five feet deep down to the leak. They located the broken supply line, and replaced it and filled the hole within a half hour. All this work was completed on a Sunday evening in less than two hours. Impressive! On Tuesday, two of the crew returned and patched and compacted the street surface. We are fortunate indeed to have such skilled and dedicated city employees. K.L. Cool

Social Security inflation Editor: I recently received my “Retiree Benefit Statement” indicating that I would be receiving a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) next month. The raise would be $0.40 per month. Perhaps I will be able to buy a hamburger in about 10 months. According to my statement, the raise is based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) from one calendar year to the next. When I telephoned the state providing my benefit statement, I was told that actually, the price of gasoline was the major factor in the statistics for CPI. Here we are jumping for joy at lower gas prices only to learn that these low prices have caused our Social Security benefits as well as our state-supported benefits to stagnate. Who knew?

A wonderful place to live Editor: Last Saturday, I traveled north to Payson for the annual Wildlife Fair at Green Valley Park. It was a great event that both my daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed. After the fair, we went to the nearby Macky’s Grill for a delicious lunch. When we were ready to leave, our friendly waiter told us that our lunch had already been paid for by a friend (who had already left). I would like to express my sincerest appreciation to that anonymous friend who was so kind to do that! Payson is a beautiful town with wonderful people. It has been a joy getting to meet the community through my work-related activities there and visiting the natural beauty of the area on weekend day trips. Thank you to the generous person who surprised me with this unexpected act of kindness! Holly Sow

Absurd explanation Editor: Our state Senator Sylvia Allen offered an absurd explanation of why she voted to deny health care coverage for 30,000 children of low-income Arizona families who cannot afford to buy insurance. First, she states that KidsCare is not free. Correct. We have already paid for KidsCare by way of our federal taxes. The money for it is already in the federal budget, and it would deliver $75 million in economic benefits to Arizona next year. If we do not use it for our children, other states will use our payments for their children. She advocates removing the entire program from the federal budget because of the rising federal deficit. She apparently has no understanding that preventing medical problems is less expensive than treating them. Yet she has no qualms about making low-income families

bear the burden of the federal deficit. She worries that helping sick children may eventually force Arizona to pay up to 10 percent of the program’s cost in years to come. But she is not reluctant to vote for bills that cost Arizona $300 million in tax credits for corporations while ignoring the needs of our children. Mrs. Allen insists that the program is unconstitutional for technical reasons related to the method of its passage. However, when the same tactics are used in bills favored by Mrs. Allen, no question arises regarding constitutionality. It seems that, when reason fails, the specter of unconstitutionality comes quickly to mind of Mrs. Allen. Never mind that Arizona is the only state in the nation to deny health care coverage to children of low-income families. Mrs. Allen apparently feels that she knows better than the constitutional attorneys of all those other 49 states, or even of her party’s governor and his attorneys. Republican Governor Ducey must have smiled at her comments as he had no hesitation in signing the KidsCare bill over Mrs. Allen’s objections. Election season is a good time to ask if Mrs. Allen truly represents our region or whether it is time to vote for a more reasonable candidate. Raymond Spatti

on outdoor recreation.” “Nothing is making more waves in Lake Havasu than USFWS’s failure to engage with the community before advancing this economically disastrous proposal. It’s my hope that further budget reductions will not be necessary before USFWS abandons these ill-conceived restrictions on recreational boating at Lake Havasu,” said Senator Flake. Last month, Senator McCain sent a letter to USFWS Director Daniel Ashe expressing concern about the agency’s proposal and urging him to listen to the concerns of local officials and stakeholders before implementing any changes.

Payson Roundup LOCAL Friday, May 20, 2016

Naughton retires from Roundup From page 1A He was wounded by shrapnel from a mortar round as he ran toward an evacuation helicopter, earning a Purple Heart. North Vietnamese losses remain unknown — somewhere between 2,500 and 15,000 killed, with the U.S. dropping 100,000 tons of bombs to keep the base from being overwhelmed by the mass attacks and the constant shelling. Naughton and his fellow artillerymen fired an estimated 158,000 large caliber shells at the North Vietnamese positions on the surrounding hills. Yet Naughton will never brag about his service. It has to be pried out of him. What Naughton will say about his time with the Marines — his service taught him about what it takes to lead. “When I was a sergeant in the Marine Corps and I had trouble with a few of my men, my gunnery sergeant gave me advice. He said, ‘Sergeant Naughton, you’ll always have that 10 percent that causes trouble. Just take care of the other 90 percent and you will always get your mission accomplished.’” He said this advice has served him well. It also brought him to the attention of leadership in every company he has worked for. He started advertising in the retail business after a relative introduced him to Earl McDermott, who worked for the old Woolco discount department stores. This manager liked to take young talent and mentor them. “He taught me the business of advertising,” said Naughton. “The how and why. I went through his tutelage.” After a scant two years, Woolco transferred him to Nevada to head up advertising for the stores there. Then they moved him to Sacramento, Calif. where he finished up his college degree. All the while, he supported a wife and children. But that’s just what men did in those days. It prepared Naughton for his life in the newspaper business — a business that requires a tough skin. After 10 years in the retail business, Woolco closed its doors. Naughton found himself casting about for his next incarnation. That’s when he came to the Republic as a salesman. A year later, he was named the national sales manager and lived the high life of courting national companies such as Ford, American Airlines and Macy’s. He would throw huge marketing events in New York, Chicago and L.A. “I had a great time, but it didn’t help my liver,” he said. But it wasn’t all triumph and accolades. Naughton told the story of being on the golf course with other managers from Motorola.

Saying Goodbye The Roundup is planning an Open House for the community and staff with appetizers, desserts, beer and wine on Wednesday, May 25 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at 708 N. Beeline Highway. They ribbed him about typos in stories. He responded with an interesting answer. He said, “What I want you to do is make a half a million Motorola phones, and then throw them away and the next day make a half million more from scratch.” He then told them the newspaper business is actually a manufacturing business — that starts from scratch every morning. “We take raw materials every day and reinvent it,” he said. “We use the same format, but everything changes every day. Then we package and deliver it to our customers.” He admitted that his golf course buddies weren’t impressed and continued to rib him about the typos. Nonetheless, the soon-to-retire publisher waxed affectionate about his career choice. “That’s the fun part of it — being on the cusp of what is going on in your community and using your best abilities and talent that you have around you to get the story right. Many times in short order,” he said. “It’s the quick little things you have to be careful of.” He remembered that when the presses in the basement of the Republic started to roll, they shook the whole building. He talked about the aloofness of the newsroom and the standoffishness of production. “When I was at The Arizona Republic, you

didn’t walk up to the third floor. You didn’t go talk to the news guys … it was a sacred place … and you didn’t just walk back into the production rooms and look over shoulders. It was very departmentalized. Everybody respected everybody’s turf.” To this day, Naughton respects everyone’s turf at the Roundup because he recognizes that if the paper does not have good content, there is nothing to sell. It’s not always easy to support content that sometimes upsets people. If an advertiser is in the news for something controversial, Naughton supports the reporter writing about it — even if revenues drop. The Roundup staff knew from long experience that Naughton always had their back. That support brought awards from the Arizona Newspapers Association as the state’s best non-weekly newspaper in nearly every year of his nine-year tenure. Last year, the Roundup also won recognition as the top weekly in its circulation category nationwide from the national Local Media Association. But characteristically, Naughton gives credit to someone else. He particularly likes to think about the readers. “Everybody has their opinion, but that means they believe it’s their paper,” he said. “That means they are involved in our product. It’s a good thing.” And living in a small town just brings the readers closer to the paper and the people who work at the paper, said Naughton. “The fact that you can be an influence in your community and fight tooth and nail to make it a positive even when some of the things you report on are negative. The people should know what is going on,” he said. Yet he does have concerns about the future of his beloved business. “My worst fear is that you’ll wake up one day and all the journalists will be gone,” he said. “Right now you have blogs written by Joe Blow. You don’t know what their credentials are or who their sources are or whether they write just their opinions.” But he also has hopes. “I think there will always be a place for good quality journalism,” he said. “I’m not ready to burn the presses yet.” Naughton wouldn’t divulge his plans for retirement because he plans on penning a piece for the last paper he’ll direct — the Tuesday, May 24 edition. He also didn’t want to scoop himself. Through it all, he has loved living in small towns. “We’ve had a lot of fun and lived in some wonderful places and this is one of them, he said. “There’s something good about small-town living. Of course, if more people realized how great it is, there wouldn’t be anymore small towns.” Maybe that means he’ll stick around.

Unclutter Your Home In Ten Easy Steps

Clutter, which is defined as things that lie about untidily, is often linked to creativity. So, just how much imagination will it take to tidy up your space? To be exact, you can make it happen in ten easy steps. 1. Set A Schedule - You are much more likely to stick to a routine, whatever it may be, if you work on a schedule. In addition, this allows you to clean when you can minimize interruptions and maximize your time. 2. Set A Goal For Each Room - If you can visualize what you want, you will be better able to achieve it. By setting goals for each room, you can note the things that need changing and work toward that goal one day at a time. 3. Create A Timeline - When do you hope to have your home completely free of clutter? One week, two weeks or even a month? Depending on your schedule and the amount of clutter that you have, it may take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. 4. Start Small - The clutter in your home didn't appear overnight and it won't disappear overnight either. If you start small, you will be less likely to get frustrated and give up midway through your cleanup. 5. Categorize Your Clutter - When cleaning, it's important to categorize your items into groups. By separating the items that you want to keep, toss and donate, you will be able to move through your clutter quickly and efficiently. 6. Letting Go - A good rule of thumb for uncluttering your home is to get rid of anything that you haven't used within the past year. If it's still useful donate it or if it’s not toss it. 7. Storing Your Seasonal Apparel - When storing seasonal clothing, purchase a sturdy plastic storage bin with a lid and roll your clothes instead of folding them in an effort to maximize storage capability. When full, snap the lid on and slide the unit into your closet. 8. Closet Organization - Did you know that your choice of clothes hangers can greatly impact the storage capacity of your closet? Wire hangers take up less space and can save your shirts from getting that annoying shoulder bump that often arises from the use of plastic hangers. 9. Shoes Blues – How many shoes do you own? How neatly are they stored? If your shoe storage has you down, try purchasing clear lidded shoe boxes. These handy creations can be stacked neatly in your closet. And best of all, you can see your shoe collection without the mess. 10. Read The Labels - If you have medicine, food or anything else with an expiration date in the home, check to make sure that the items are still good. If the expiration date has already come and gone, throw them away.

“There were a lot of frustrated people because they kept on asking ASU, which we had a Memorandum of Understanding with for many years, if there has been any negotiations about a Payson campus and a lot of people said ‘No’ and it was because they couldn’t say anything and they still can’t,” Cordell said. “ASU is wanting to partner with us.” In an emailed statement, Arizona State University said, “We continue to have encouraging conversations with Payson area leaders, and, as you know, part of our charter mission is to strengthen the social, economic and overall health of the communities around us. While we are not scheduled for formal action by the Board of Regents at its meeting in June, we will continue to update the Regents on the positive progress we have made in our dialogue with the community leadership about bringing ASU to Rim Country.” While local project planners initially dreamed the academic facility would open with 1,000 students and grow to 6,000, those numbers have been scaled back. Although Phase 1 of the academic buildings will be built to handle up to 1,000 students, the high construction and infrastructure cost in an unproven housing market have limited initial student housing construction to 300 units. ASU plans to open with 300-350 students and grow the campus an additional 200 to 300 students every year until reaching an enrollment of 2,500 students. As a point of reference, during fiscal year 2016, 1,335 students attended the Payson campus of Gila Community College. For the spring 2016 term, 512 were full-time students. All the ASU students would carry a fulltime load. The proposed enrollment numbers for the university project are far lower than what Mayor Kenny Evans has touted the campus would bring in. Cordell said ASU officials are worried students won’t sign up for the rural campus. “You have a vision and then reality sets in. The vision for ASU is different than the vision that we had here in Payson,” he said. “ASU is an urban school … this is scary for them cause they don’t know if people will come. They brought down the expectation. I think they are going to find that expectation is exceeded and then they’ll say hurry up and get the rest of it (built).” In addition, at that same meeting in June, ASU will reportedly present to the Board of Regents its proposed partnership with the City of Mesa, which has also been under

Rim Country Educational Foundation president

discussion for some years to build a branch campus there. In Phase 1 of the Payson project, the Alliance will build three buildings comprising the facility — an academic building to hold classes and two dorms. The academic building will hold up to 1,000 students for classes, but initial enrollment numbers will be around 300-350 based on limited student housing options. First-year students will be required to live on campus in one of two dorms. The sole entrance to the academic facility will be off Highway 260. Crews recently installed a temporary construction entrance off the highway, which will eventually become the permanent entrance. The entrance will probably require a signal. There will be no roundabout. The roadway will weave through the forest initially and end at a parking lot in front of the academic building and dorms on the southwest side. Phase 1 will likely cost more than $70 million. In future years, the Alliance will add other academic buildings and dorms in the same area. On the east side beyond a large ridge, the Alliance hopes to build a conference center/

resort and residential housing. Cordell said they are envisioning condominiums accessed from a future second entrance off Rim Club Parkway. The west side of the property has room for future commercial development. The Foundation and Alliance are working to buy an additional 23 acres where the Payson Ranger District offices and facilities for firefighters now stand. That land is flatter than the 253 acres the Foundation and Alliance recently acquired and therefore easier to build on. Cordell said they hope to get that land in the next two years. The board of the Alliance, appointed by the Payson and Star Valley councils, has legal authority over the project. However, the privately formed Foundation has raised all the money for the project and owns the land jointly with the Alliance. The Foundation has hired the consultants and engineers preparing the site plan for buildings and infrastructure. An audience member asked if the Foundation intends to sell the land or if the project will include commercial businesses. Cordell said the Foundation and Alliance would not sell the land, but rather lease it out. While it is zoned for educational use, that allows for commercial businesses in support of the education purpose. All of the money from leasing will be put back into the campus to keep the costs down for students. To keep the campus beautiful, planners want to keep as many trees as possible, including both ponderosa pines and pinyons. The intent is to “save the trees,” he said, adding the facility will be Firewise. They are also working with APS to put 2,400 linear feet of power lines that run directly through the site underground. The facilities will rely heavily on solar power, with solar panels planned on all the roofs. Most of the buildings will be three to four stories tall. Another audience member asked if the project would include a recreation center or YMCA. Cordell said YMCA would definitely not have a facility on the site, but down the line, they might have a rec center. One woman expressed surprise at the new enrollment targets. “All of this for 350 students,” she said. Cordell said backers hope to see the facility grow, but had to start somewhere. Cordell noted that backers also continue to talk with the University of Arizona about putting additional programs on the site, including rural health, telehealth and autonomous robotic mining.

Spring fires already setting a record across the West by

Peter Aleshire

roundup editor

The U.S. may set another damaging wildfire record this year, with spring fires claiming five times as much acreage as last year — which itself set a record. The El Niño that winter forecasters hoped would bring extended relief from a decadelong drought, instead skipped over the continent — spawning a rich growth of weeds and brush without a deep snowpack to restore the trees and delay the fire season. Federal officials have renewed their call to Congress to put more money into the firefighting budget for the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management. Otherwise, those agencies will once again have to strip money from forest thinning and restoration projects to fight the growing number of megafires. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell this week met with Forest Service regional foresters to discuss preparations for the fire season. Fortunately, Arizona at the moment isn’t at the top of the list of danger spots. “The 2016 wildfire season is off to a worrisome start. Southern California, the Great Basin in Nevada, portions of the Southwest, and even Florida and Hawaii are particularly vulnerable this year. In California, more than 40 million trees have died, becoming dry fuel for wildfire,” said Vilsack. “Congress must take action now to ensure that we, and, ultimately the firefighters we ask so much of, have the resources to do the restoration and wildfire

The fire season’s already underway in Southeast Arizona, with the 1,600-acre College Peak Fire (right) on state lands and the 5,500-acre Cumero Fire in the Coronado National Forest. The fires are active but not dangerous due to the still relatively mild conditions. prevention work necessary to keep our forests healthy.” Last year, seven members of the Forest Service firefighting team died fighting fires. Wildfires last year destroyed or damaged 4,500 homes. This year the Forest Service can mobilize 10,000 firefighters, 900 engines, 300 helicopters, 21 airtankers, two water scoopers and more than 30 aerial supervision fixedwing aircraft. “The job of fighting wildfires has become increasingly difficult due to the effects of climate change, chronic droughts and development within wildland-urban interface areas,” said Tidwell. Climate change has added an average of 78 days to the fire season nationally since 1970. The acreage burned has doubled each year since 1980. As a result,

the Forest Service routinely exhausts its firefighting budget before the end of the wildfire season, forcing the Forest Service to abandon critical restoration and capital improvement projects to suppress extreme fires. The Forest Service’s firefighting costs hit a record $243 million in a one-week period in August of 2015, and wildfires now account for 52 percent of the Forest Service’s budget — compared to just 16 percent in 1995. The Forest Service went through it’s budget for fighting fires quickly last year and the USDA had to fill the gap by transferring funds away from forest restoration projects to help reduce the risk of future fires. Last December Vilsack told Congress he will not authorize

transfers from restoration and resilience funding this fire season. Instead, Vilsack has directed the Forest Service to use funds as they were intended. For example, restoration work through programs like the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program and implementation of the National Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy, are reducing the size and severity of wildfires. USDA, the U.S. Department of the Interior and other partners are working with at-risk communities to promote community and homeowner involvement in mitigating wildfire risk, reducing hazardous fuels and treatments that increase forest health. “We keep setting records we don’t want to see beat. According to the National Interagency Fire Center, over the last 10 years, we’ve seen 16 of the most historically significant wildfires on record,” said Vilsack.

“Only focused prevention and forest restoration work can help us turn the corner, so I have directed the Forest Service to aggressively use the funding provided in the 2016 Fiscal Year budget to support forest management, restoration, research and partnership work to help get ahead of the severe wildfire problem.” These days, wildfires burn twice as many acres as 40 years ago even during a year with normal rainfall. The shift in the last two years of $237 million into the fire budget has forced the Forest Service to abandon critical restoration and capital improvement projects. This loss in funds to firefighting took place before a single fire broke out in 2016. In 2015, the Forest Service

spent a record $2.6 billion fighting fires. The agency manages 193 million acres of public land, provides assistance to state and private landowners, and maintains the largest forestry research organization in the world. Public lands managed by the Forest Service contribute more than $13 billion to the economy each year through visitor spending alone. Those same lands provide 20 percent of the nation’s clean water supply, a value estimated at $7.2 billion per year. The agency has either a direct or indirect role in stewardship of about 80 percent of the 850 million forested acres within the U.S., of which 100 million acres are urban forests where most Americans live.

Fires burning near Flagstaff The Forest Service is managing two lightning-caused fires near Flagstaff in hopes the fires will thin the forest and benefit the ecosystem before the hot, dry weeks of June make every fire a potential catastrophe. The Mormon and Cowboy fires are currently only a few acres and smoldering in areas visible to the public, but will grow as conditions dry out. The forest thrives on such low-severity fires that consume debris on the forest floor without climbing up into the branches of the trees. They actually reduce the fuel load, help wildlife and create much safer conditions for firefighters should another fire take place in the hot, dry months. The fires will likely grow in coming days, but firefighters will conduct burnout operations to control the movement of the fire and limit the ultimate spread. Nonetheless, the fires will produce smoke likely to alarm residents. The Mormon and Cowboy fires are not prescribed burns, although they’ll have a similar effect due to the cool, moist conditions. The fires will continue to burn within a boundary firefighters are establishing until it exhausts the fuel in that area. Look for updates on the fires at Inciweb at http://inciweb.nwcg.gov/unit/303/. Quick updates will also be provided via the Coconino NF Twitter site at www.twitter.com/coconinonf (@CoconinoNF). The public can report smoke impacts online at http://tinyurl.com/cof-smokerpt or get more information about the forest at www. coconinonationalforest.us.

MORMON FIRE OVERVIEW Start Date: May 14, 2016 Cause: Lightning Location: Six miles east of Munds Park near Mormon Mountain Current Size: Seven acres Resources: Mormon Lake Hotshot crew, one Type 6 Engine; approximately 26 personnel. Fire Behavior: Smoldering and creeping, producing light smoke. Current Management Actions: In monitoring status until conditions become drier. Prep work for boundary and holding lines ongoing.

COWBOY FIRE OVERVIEW

Start Date: May 17, 2016 Cause: Lightning Location: Eight miles south of Flagstaff, near milepost 331 on the immediate east side of Interstate 17. Current Size: One acre Resources: Flagstaff Hotshot crew, one Type 3 Engine; 25 personnel. Fire Behavior: Smoldering, with visible small flame lengths and creeping across the forest. Smoke Impacts: Smoke is readily visible from I-17 since the fire is right next to the interstate. Light smoke could impact the community of Mountainaire and Kachina since they are north of the fire’s location. Motorists should be cautious while traveling along I-17 near the fire as smoke could reduce visibility, and fire personnel will be working on and near the roads as management of the fire increases. Closures: None currently. Current Management Actions: In monitoring status until conditions become drier. Prep work for boundary and holding lines ongoing.

Owner growing Granny’s in Payson into a destination Antique store strives to create an experience Teresa McQuerrey

roundup staff reporter

Step inside Granny’s in Payson and you are on the overflowing edge of a cornucopia of wonderful collectibles. You can find just about everything at Granny’s in Payson(formerly Granny’s Attic Antiques), 800 E. Hwy. 260. Antiques are not all that await — there are gently used, good-quality and new, custom-made furniture pieces; home décor items; arts and crafts — from an $8,000 painting and high-end gold jewelry to a discarded ukulele turned into a planter. Book and record collectors, you can get your prowl on too. Vintage clothing and linens are among the many features of the store, which has 60-plus dealers spread around nearly 5,000 square feet — both inside the main building and out back in rustic replicas. The work of local artists and the goods of dealers from the area and elsewhere can all be found at Granny’s. Toward the back and outside

is where owner Petra Luh is creating a destination site. While the shoppers wander in and out of the many diverse booth spaces, their companions that are not especially interested in shopping, can settle back on big, comfy couches and chairs, have a coffee or other refreshment, pick up a book or newspaper to read or just visit. “I want everyone to take advantage of the space — just bring a book and sit back and relax and meet new friends, you don’t even have to be a shopper,” Luh said. Outside, at the rear of the property, she is planning to build a gazebo, decorating it with plants and seating, as well as changing and adding some of the outside structures — which she calls barns. “I hope to create a resort-like backyard for relaxing. I want to make it a place where people consider it a second living room like the cafes in Germany, Austria and France,” she said. One of her goals is to have space to accommodate groups

and something she is calling “Granny’s Kiosk Café” (for now), with specialty coffees and smoothies and “interesting tidbits on the healthy side.” To test the market for food service at the property, she is renting space to a food truck from Can’t Stop Smokin’ BBQ out of Chandler. Luh said the arrangement is also giving the food truck owner an opportunity to test the market for their food before investing in an actual building. Residents and visitors can get barbecue from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Friday through Monday. As business picks up, Luh said the owners plan to expand their hours of operation. As Rim Country businesses go, Granny’s is a bit of an antique itself. The building has served as a multi-dealer antique and collectibles shop for nearly 30 years. Luh bought the business in December 2014 and has worked tirelessly at improving the building and making it a better venue for her dealers and their clients.

Historic house now a wellness center Penny Navis-Schmidt, a longtime counselor for Rim residents, has expanded her practice in the historic Hilligas House (see history of the building below), 700 W. Main St., and now shares the space with Dale Bellisfield and Lori Martinez. The trio plans a First Friday Open House, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., Friday, June 3. It is a chance for a meet-and-greet, enjoy healthy refreshments and participate in a gift raffle for the Breast Cancer Fund.

In 1908 the J. W. Boardmans sold their store at the corner of the old Pine Road (now the site of the Deming Park with a statue honoring the Mail Trail riders and replica of the storefront) to William and Clara Hilligas, along with their home just west of the store. In 1915 the Hilligas family expanded the house to become a boarding house called The Hilligas Hotel, while they built themselves a new house just west of that — the house at 700 W. Main St. In June 1928, the hotel was sold to Laura Netherlin, and subsequently to other owners, during which time it came to be called The Lone Pine Hotel. In 1950 Dallas and Anna Wilbanks purchased the hotel and it remained in the Wilbanks family through several generations until the present time.

About the historic home

Historian Stan Brown wrote about the origins of the Hilligas House in his “Back When” column for The Rim Review and Payson Roundup in December 2008.

Granny’s not only has an assortment of the most unusual antiques and collectibles in Rim Country, it now also caters to customers with food and a resort-like atmosphere in the outdoor seating area.

There is more elbowroom now and brighter lighting to show off the many treasures. Originally from Europe, Luh has been in Arizona about 20 years. She has worked as an international management consultant and in rehabilitating homes. “I made something hopeless into something pretty and unique,” she said of the work with homes, adding she would often use things people can now find at Granny’s. “I tried to get away from Arizona for years, but then I found Payson.” She said she loves the community because of the climate and the people. “It’s a still a small town where people help each other,” Luh said. She enjoys her customers and

is just amazed at how creative they are — taking odd, utilitarian items and turning them into unique pieces. There are regulars and those that stop in just passing by. Luh said they come from all over and many of them are able to educate her about the things in the store. Granny’s in Payson is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Wednesday

through Monday, closed Tuesday. Luh said the store has a very good Facebook presence, even offering a puzzle picture – the first person to guess the item in the photo gets a gift – see www. Facebook.com/GrannysinPayson. A lot of business is also done over the phone at 602-740-5612 or 928474-3962. The email address is GrannysinPayson@gmail.com.

Juggling lives & fears in the EMERGENCY ROOM

Dr. Joel Betz juggles a dozen patients in the Banner Payson Regional Medical Center emergency room. Photos by Alexis Bechman

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

Four hours into his shift, with a computer screen full of patients and no beds to spare, the “bat phone” rings. An ambulance is heading to the rural hospital. The nurse hangs up the phone and lets Dr. Joel Betz know the condition of the patient. Betz looks around the small emergency room and wonders where they will put the latest arrival. The 10 bays in the emergency room have all filled with suffering patients, with more spilling out into the hallway — and others stacking up in the lobby. From behind blue bay curtains, patients stare at the nurses station where Betz sits himself behind a mire of computer screens, studying conditions, test results and wait times. A nurse drops off a slice of greasy pizza just in time for lunch, but Betz pushes it to the side. What started as a quiet morning had roared into a packed emergency room.

The patients wait and wonder

One woman stands, unable to sit because of shooting pains in her back. Each time they ask her to try moving, even the slightest movement sends her shrieking with pain as she struggles to catch her breath. In one bay, a woman is curled into a fetal position — on suicide watch. In another, an older woman told the doctor she thinks she’s having a stroke. In a third, a woman shouts out that no one is helping her. Betz looks up from a computer screen and walks quickly over to the woman’s room, pulling the curtain closed behind him. Betz is the only doctor manning the ER, although he has the help of a physician’s assistant. The pressure to make life or death decisions looks overwhelming to a reporter spending a shift as a fly on the emergency room wall. But for Betz, it is a nice change of pace. For the past six months, Betz has traveled to Payson from the Valley to work in the ER. The health team he works for took on the contract for the ER after Banner took over the hospital in August. Betz has worked in ER rooms around the Valley, many with 40-60 beds. He did his residency at the Maricopa County hospital, the halfcrazed, epicenter of trauma medicine in Arizona. “It is nuts down there,” Betz said. With just 10 beds in Payson, Betz said things are a lot less chaotic — although gunshot wounds, beatings, car crashes and drug overdoses still send critically injured patients bursting through the doors. The difference: most of the more serious trauma cases get flown to trauma centers in the Valley where surgeons remain on standby around the clock. Payson is not equipped to treat such trauma cases. Betz stabilizes those patients and sends them quickly on their way. Today, Betz does not have any trauma cases. His biggest challenge is figuring out where to put all these people. As he studies the computer screens, he looks up and smiles.

‘It’s a small, small world’

The sound system in the hospital plays “It’s a Small, Small World.” A baby has just been born in the maternity wing. The sweet moment ends as another patient gets added to Dr. Betz’s already formidable list. The pressure rises. Betz sifts down the list, triaging his time — putting the unstable or potentially dangerous cases first. Patient ailments include numb feet and a possible mini stroke, pacemaker complications, chest pains and vomiting. He must identify the most acute cases and treat them first. That may mean a patient with symptoms that don’t pose an immediate danger must wait. Betz said it is tough, but he tries to make frequent bed calls to let patients know what is going on. But all many patients can see as they peer down the hall is Betz sitting behind the nurses desk, staring at a computer screen. Because the most complex cases require a slew of diagnostic tests, Betz is busy ordering tests. On top of everything the day has brought, one of the hospital’s scanners is down. Betz calls for an ambulance to bring a patient to an outside lab for a scan, eating up valuable time. And then there’s that pizza. It’s getting cold, but will have to wait even as his stomach grumbles. This is Betz’s ninth year working as a doctor. Before that he worked in the furthest thing from medicine, retail. At 28, he started medical school at the University of Arizona. As Betz recounts his path to medicine, Dr. Mark Solem, the vice president of medical staff, walks into the ER. Solem is one of several ER doctors working for Banner. Solem is the only one who lives in the Payson area full time. Semi-retired, Solem works two days a week. Like Betz, Solem also spent most of his career working in Valley ERs, with 18 years in the Scottsdale ER. When he moved to Payson,

he enjoyed the slower pace. He decided to stay because he likes the people. Most ER doctors will say they like the high-intensity environment and making decisions on the fly. Today, Betz needs to decide where to put everyone. He asks staff to check for empty hospital beds where he can put patients for observation. They say there aren’t any. Not one. Because of a national nursing shortage, most hospitals don’t have the staffing to use all their beds. Short of nurses, the hospital can’t admit more patients. Betz said the hospital is working hard to hire more nurses, especially under the direction of Banner. Betz looks at the patient list, three of them older than 90. Betz said he sees a lot of patients between 80 and 90, often repeatedly from one shift to the next.

The cowboy sings love songs

Today, this includes a woman who has come in with her husband after her feet fell numb for no apparent reason. She had previously ignored similar symptoms for hours, only to suffer a mini-stroke. Doctors told her to come in immediately should the numbness recur. So now she’s here. To keep her company while they wait, her husband sings her cowboy love songs, most of which he wrote about her. “I love you sweetheart,” he croons softly. It is another tender moment in an otherwise stale, overlit, vigorously scrubbed ER, washing briefly over it in something human. The couple tell this reporter they like Betz a lot. The last time they came in, he had the woman laughing in no time, something her husband appreciates. He praises Betz’s bedside manner and the care he takes to both listen and explain. As a nurse goes to take the woman’s blood to run some tests, the old cowboy gets up and leaves the room — he doesn’t do so good with blood, he admits. Betz returns to the nurses station and his computer. While he waits to hear back on the lady’s lab results, he continues to search for enough slots for all his patients. On a given day, they will see 40 patients in Payson’s ER. On a Saturday, it usually tops 50. Betz knows he will have to transfer several patients to other hospitals. As nurses call other hospitals to find a room, the “bat phone” rings. The call comes from a paramedic on an incoming ambulance, briefing the emergency room staff on the incoming patient’s condition. During major calls, doctors use the phone to speak with paramedics directly to start triage. They can help guide paramedics on what to do in the field until they reach the ER. Sometimes, starting treatment in the field under a doctor’s direction means the difference between life and death.

Payson seniors get big laughs for theater-in-the-round plays by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

Theater-in-the-round encircles the stage with the audience making the actors almost seem to be a part of the audience. Exactly what Tom Walling hoped to accomplish with the 2016 senior one-act plays. The seniors picked two hilarious one act plays and one that wrestled with drug addiction. “The Blissful Orphans,” directed by Zoia Brouwer, took the

audience into an orphanage run by Luther (played by PHS graduate Steven Martinez) and Patrisha (played by Naomi Cobos). The husband and wife love orphans, but when their “orphan finder” Mr. Coddlesworth (played by Matthew Zalewski) reports he can find no more orphans, the two panic. Enter Justine Everlast (played by Crystal Kubby). A wealthy divorcee seeking purpose in her life, she asks Luther and Patrisha to find her orphans.

The ensuing comedy ends with a new career for Luther and Patrisha and a happy ending for Justine and Mr. Coddlesworth, who end up being long lost siblings. “Down Is Easy” deals with the heavy topic of drug addiction. Directed by Ali Cambier, the one-act play centers around Tony Cahill (played by Tony Gentless) and his little brother Damien Cahill (played by Elliot Zalewski). The two have a gang, that ends up getting them thrown

into a rehab house. Sad thing is, Damien has become addicted to drugs. Rehab Center administrator Jen Hawkins (played by Bobbi Beaugureau) and her guard Kira Jensen (played by Meghan Orvis) guide and counsel the other members of the house, which include Rikki Martin (played by Tierney Phillips), Anastasia Anderson (played by Jayme Peet), Carly (played by Quincy Thornhill), Abbigail (played by Carli Carpenter) and others (played

Tractor Supply Helps Students The Payson FFA Chapter took home a roto-tiller, rakes and other garden supplies from the Payson Tractor Supply Company thanks to a Growing Grant from the company. Payson FFA advisor David Rutherford said the students have already been working on their garden. “We’ve planted corn, broccoli and peppers,” said Destinee Tinnin, an officer with the Payson FFA. “They are trying square foot gardens,” said Rutherford. She along with fellow officers Camryn Faust and Karson Ross met with Tractor Supply Team Leaders David Yarder and Eric Hamelin to pick up their garden supplies and roto-tiller on May 11.

by Sierra Basset and Brittany Manczur). All does not end well for Tony when his brother takes a turn for the worst and doesn’t make it as he navigates the dangers of detoxing. The final one-act paid homage to the challenges of dating, in “Check Please!” Directed by Tony Gentless. A girl (played by Carly Banning) and a guy (played by Christian Teague) endure a series of dates looking for “the one.” Instead, they find an odd assortment of kleptomaniacs, creepy romantics, odd fashion freaks, a phobic ridden man and numerous others all wrong for

the girl and the guy. The dates were played by Jack Randall, Kayla Choate, Taylor Keeney, Cassie Satathite, Kylie Chapin, Moira Hamrick, Rachael Brundage, Cami Cambier, Kendall Dugan, Hailey Hamblen, Dexter Tiffany and Sierra Bassett. In the end the girl and the guy decided to take a chance on each other when they meet at the restaurant. The set, two simply set restaurant tables, made the audience feel they were a part of the dates, especially when the girl in disgust threw water on one date. This last skit left the audience with a smile on their face to send off the seniors in their final performances.

SPIRIT by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

The Payson Choral Society decided to belt out spirituals at its spring concert. That meant the scholarship winners from the middle and high school had to follow suit. Director Daria Mason picked traditional selections such as “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” and “Amazing Grace” for her Choral Society members to sing. She also decided to push beyond the traditional cultural choices with “O Sifuni Mungu” and a Native American prayer. A few individuals from the group gathered up their courage to sing solo or a small group. Rosemary Chubinski sang “On a Clear Day You Can See Forever” as a solo. Sisters Kate Launder and Sue Launder-Becker sang “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” as a duet.

Michele Nelson/Roundup

The Payson Choral Society staged an uplifting selection of gospel songs for its spring concert (top). It also showed off its scholarship winners, including Cameron Middaugh, Elli Linkey, Crystal Kubby, Rio Chavez and Keith Foster. For a video of the concert and the scholarship winners, visit payson.com. A quartet calling themselves ‘The 4 Notes’ (Milt Bott, Glen DeKeno, Annie and Charlie Zurbuchen) sang “Do, Lord, Remember Me.” The spring concert always features the middle school and high school winners of scholarships designed to support students furthering their musical studies. Cameron Middaugh and Elli Linkey from Rim Country Middle School qualified for the $500 scholarship. Middaugh sang “This Is Gospel.” Linkey sang, “Here’s One.” This year President John Landino announced that this year, the Choral Society had the

ability to grant three $1,000 scholarships to students. Usually, only two students win scholarships. Senior Rio Chavez sang “Long Black Train,” senior Keith Foster sang “Plenty Good Room,” and junior Crystal Kubby sang “Wade in the Water.” Other high school students from the band helped round out the performance. Sabrina Bonn played French horn and percussion. Foster put on his band hat to help with percussion and Josh Hatt also aided with percussion. A couple of songs required many hands, especially “Dry Bones.” All-in-all an uplifting experience.

Payson grad’s 14,000-foot climb will raise money to battle cancer Sara Schmidt, who was born, raised and graduated high school in Payson, will attempt to reach the 14,179-foot summit of California’s Mount Shasta in June. She is part of a mountaineering expedition benefiting the Breast Cancer Fund. Along with 18 other participants, including cancer survivors and some currently undergoing treatment, Sara joins 450 past climbers working to stop breast cancer before it starts. The climb, which takes several days, starts

Wednesday, June 22. Climb Against the Odds is the Breast Cancer Fund’s annual mountaineering expedition for breast cancer prevention. Each year a team of women and men from across the country gathers to attempt to summit the 14,179-foot Mount Shasta. Team members cover their expenses for the climb, including snow school to learn mountaineering techniques using ice axes and crampons, and receive donated gear to support their attempt. Each team member also pledges to raise

PostNet Named ‘HEROs of Education’ Ed and Dianne Enos of PostNet received the HERO of Education award at the Payson Unified School District meeting on May 9. Superintendent Greg Wyman praised PostNet for serving the district with excellent customer service and a smile no matter what the project. “When PostNet opened 15 years ago, it quickly became the District Office’s printer of choice,” said Wyman. He said PostNet gets back to the district within 30 minutes with a quote for large projects. The print shop delivers rain or shine, without any requests to do so. PostNet meticulously reviews and proofs all projects before sending them to the district office. If PostNet can’t handle an order, they will find someone who can handle it. “Whether we need 250 business cards or 13,000 Credit for Kids mailers, PostNet is our hero,” said Wyman.

$6,000 for the Breast Cancer Fund. The Breast Cancer Fund works to prevent breast cancer by eliminating exposure to toxic chemicals and radiation linked to the disease. Founded in 1992, the Breast Cancer Fund is the only national breast cancer organization focused solely on preventing breast cancer before it starts. Sara graduated from Payson High School in 2000. She completed her bachelor’s of arts degree at the University of Arizona, and went on to receive both a master’s degree in public health and a master’s of social work from the University of Michigan in 2007. Following graduate school, Sara worked in both Kenya and Zambia on HIV and other health projects, following her passions to build healthier, more resilient communities. She then moved to San Francisco, Calif., where she worked for six years at Amnesty International USA. Sara joined the Breast Cancer Fund in 2015 as the outreach and organizing manager. In this role, she carries out educational and advocacy campaigns related to reducing exposure to toxic chemicals, including the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics. This critical campaign works to educate people about toxic chemicals lurking in every day personal care products and cosmetics, and provides tools to reduce exposure, and therefore reduce risk of cancer, birth defects, and other serious health issues. Statistics show that 1 in 8 women will now get breast cancer, and 1 in 3 people will get some kind of cancer — but for Sara, it’s personal. Her grandmother — former Payson resident Dorothy “Dot” Schmidt, faced breast cancer. Last month Sara lost a friend to cancer, and just recently another very close friend was diagnosed with breast cancer. Sara climbs so that her friends and loved ones will not have to hear the dreaded words, “You have cancer.” “At the Breast Cancer Fund we work to give people the information they need to reduce their exposures, and that’s a very empowering role to play,” Sara said. Sara’s mother, local businesswoman and longtime Payson resident Penny Navis-Schmidt, is hosting a fundraiser and open house on First Friday, June 3 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. in her historic Main Street counseling office at 700 W. Main St. She will have a variety of raffle prizes in support of Sara’s

climb, as well as information on safe cosmetics and risk reduction. Raffle items include: art and jewelry from local artisans, dinner for two at Diamond Point Shadows; a collection of “clean” cosmetics; massage, facials and other healing therapies. Guests will also enjoy a “sneak peek” (and taste) of delicious refreshments catered by a soon to open local bakery, enjoy the therapeutic art of Rani Primer and meet professional, licensed mental health and wellness practitioners working out of the historic home on Main. To donate, visit Sara’s fundraising page on the Breast Cancer Fund website http://bit.ly/ SaraClimbsShasta or mail a check made out to the Breast Cancer Fund to: Sara Schmidt, 5208 Manila Avenue, Apt 4, Oakland, CA 94618.

Can’t you just hear Let’s take just two big stars of the stu- that famous voice drawling out words

like, “Smile when you say that, pardner?” Hey! That’s John Wayne, isn’t it, Johnny? But wait a minute, how about “Sands of Iwo Jima”? How did an 1860s cowboy suddenly crop up almost a 100 years later in a U.S. Army uniform fighting the Japanese on a far-flung Pacific island? Does that fit the image? Or what about “The Quiet Man,” set in rural Ireland, for crying out loud! What happened? Where’s the horse? Where’s the Colt 44? And — holy mackerel! — how about “The Barbarian and the Geisha!” How did a cowboy get into the medieval atmosphere of 19th century Japan? And yet ... every one of them was a great John Wayne movie, wasn’t it? And therein lies the secret! He didn’t play the part of the character named in each

of those films; he just played himself. And since he had the kind and type of personality that pleases us Americans — because he was so doggone American! — he was one the most popular stars ever. Proof? Look what happened when some dummy took away his horse, substituted a patrol car, switched the Colt 44 for an automatic, sent him to the UK, and stuck him in a gangster movie called “Brannigan.” What a bust! How the hey can you play yourself in a role like that and have it turn out to be anything but a farce? You can’t, and it didn’t, and for the sake of a man that we all loved and admired, every copy of that three-reel fiasco should be sought out and burned. On the other hand, look at Marlon Brando. When we went to the movies did we go to see Marlon Brando? If we had we’d have

been sadly disappointed because what we all saw was honest, quiet speaking, peasant Emiliano Zapata hero of the Mexican revolution in “Viva Zapata”; failed inner city prize fighter Terry Malloy in “On the Waterfront”; thoughtful, understanding, loving Air Force Major Lloyd Gruver in “Sayonara”; honest, dedicated, German ski instructor Christian Diestl in “Hitler’s Wehrmacht” at the moment he realized the truth about Hitler and his Nazis and was gunned down for his trouble by an American GI — Dean Martin, who as always just played himself. Odd, isn’t it? Sometimes we go to see someone just being himself, and we love it. At other times that is exactly what we don’t want to see, and when we get it we love that too! Fun to think about, isn’t it?

after the flood deemed a band of area from the Tonto Hatchery to Woods Canyon Lake had received in excess of 18 inches of rain. The inevitable torrent brought trees and debris down See Canyon to the bridge where it formed a dam forcing the water to flow down the highway. The flood here in the Creek claimed the life of a woman. Simultaneously, the canyons formed by Dick Williams, Tonto and Horton creeks above Kohl’s Ranch brought a 30-foot wall of water down on the area claiming 14 additional souls. The event was headlined as the 1970 Labor Day flood and the greatest loss of life by natural disaster in the history of the state of Arizona. A total of 23 perished in the state and four in southeast Utah. Three years ago, Marshall Trimble hosted a memorial for

the victims here in Christopher Creek. Large crowds attended that and a subsequent event, listening intently to the emotion voiced by the witnesses and survivors. From that event a fund was established to memorialize the flood and its victims. Recently, the Payson Town Council met to address the deeding of a parcel for the monument. The location is to be in Green Valley Park in Payson, near the Northern Gila County Historical Society building. Currently, the goal is to construct the monument in the three months remaining before the 46th anniversary of the tragic Labor Day event. Much work remains for the committee and volunteers to accomplish this goal. That being said, you can mark your calendar to be present at the

commemoration and unveiling on Sept. 5. This will happen! Another local event for your calendar is a luau on the patio of Sheila’s Creekside Restaurant. It will be out on the patio from 1 p.m. until 4 p.m., with Hawaiian food at $10 a plate. Nina Curri and Friend will entertain. A five-bottle wine basket will be raffled at $5 a ticket. It sounds like fun to me! Not so much fun is the annual work weekend for the residents of See Canyon homes. The one perk following all the work is the potluck at the end of the day. Landon Shill, the popular local entertainer from Tonto Village, is booked at the Landmark on Memorial Day weekend. The season is upon us. Nicole Kayla is the newest addition to the Werlinger family. Chad and Barb are the parents. We’re very happy she finally got a name!

Fresh points of view of Christopher Creek and new and interesting stories are coming periodically this summer and fall. Some very talented folks in our midst have volunteered to be guest columnists. These include Dave Elston, author of “A Year in the Grand Canyon,” Marsha Ward, a prolific author and blogger, whose works include the Owens Family Saga, and Don Farmer, raconteur and second generation See Canyon resident. Last, but not least, we will prevail upon the ageless Jim Hagen, writer, poet and artist who has resided in See Canyon forever. HALLELUJAH! As we wrap this up at 8 a.m. Wednesday we have received sixtenths of an inch overnight and Accuweather Minute by Minute says we have another two hours of rain on the way ... and that’s another week in the Creek.

Unusual May weather has us scrambling to protect garden plants Tonto Village is experiencing a very gloomy Tuesday. It started out with lightning strikes and thunder and then, holy moly, the hail started falling. There was enough of it to cover the ground, and then, after about 15 minutes, the hail turned into a mixture of rain and hail. According to the weather report on radio station KMOG, the showers were not supposed to start until the afternoon. the village Surprise! My husband hurried out in the hail and rain to the garden to cover the tomato plants. They are just starting to bud out and we didn’t want to lose them. We also have eggplant and pepJanet per plants that are being Snyder attacked by aphids. I sprayed them with a bit of liquid soap and water and took off those nasty things by hand. Does anyone have any other solution? Party time

The Village will be partying big time at celebrations on Memorial Day weekend. Starting off the events is the Memorial Day Celebration at the Double D Café and Bar on Saturday, May 28. Everything gets started about

noon on the patio. Ethel and Danny will be serving barbecue beef, beans and coleslaw. The well-known Ron Gibson Band will provide the music. The Hellsgate Fireflies will be manning a table full of goodies for sale. The money collected will be helping to furnish the kitchen at the new fire station. Next on the agenda is the Memorial Day Barbecue at the Tonto Village Chapel. That event will be held from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday, May 30 in the chapel parking lot. There will be hamburgers, hot dogs and music by the Fossil Creek Gang. I have heard this group play and your feet will be tapping and you will be singing along as well. One of the Domino Divas, Laura Bierwirth of Morris Meadows, off Colcord Road, held a “Just for the Heck of It” party on Saturday, May 14. The party-goers were from the dominoes group, along with most of her neighbors — the ones who have returned for the summer anyway. A sumptuous meal was set out in the garage and spilled out to a patio. The food included barbecued pork ribs, smoked ham and chicken wings along with so many side dishes there was hard-

Vacation Bible School

Vacation Bible School at the Chapel will start Monday, June 20 and continue Friday, June 24. Pre-registration will be available at the barbecue. The hours for Vacation Bible School are from

One of the last plays for the school year was held May 11, 12, 13 and 14 with just about

all the students participating in one way or another. Fine arts director Elizabeth Fowler wrote the one-act play. The play was entitled “All Together Now” and used fables are told to a girl who is stressed out and feels all alone. My husband and I attended an evening performance and we smiled a lot and watched in amazement of the students for their originality and costuming. Many of the students’ parents need a pat on the back for their contribution to the original costuming. For a few of the students,

The supermarkets have been advertising pork sales, so this week I found an easy recipe in the “Fireflies Can Cook” cookbook for pork chops. Nancy Barela of Star Valley and a Hellsgate Firefly submitted the recipe. Pork Chops with Potatoes 6 pork chops 3 large red potatoes (sliced) 1 large onion (sliced) 1 can mushroom soup 1 tablespoon garlic salt 1 teaspoon pepper Heat electric skillet to 450 degrees. Season pork chops with garlic salt and pepper and brown in small amount of oil. Add sliced onion and sliced potatoes and brown. Spread top with mushroom soup. Cover, turn down to low and simmer until done. About 30 minutes. I’m trying this recipe tonight — I love pork chops. That’s all for this week folks, I’ll be back next week, same time, same day, same newspaper, if the creek don’t rise. Well, it’s trying, but just not enough of the wet stuff to make any difference.

Sieber remained unmarried to the fabled Apache Kid. [1] In 1890 Sieber ran afoul of the new end, and there is no evidence that he ever had a woman in his life. He was Indian agent at San Carlos and the never flamboyant or loud, but was quiet, result the “old” chief of scouts (he was determined and modest. His clothing only 47) was fired.

Al Sieber he just faded away; but not really. He had so many friends both in Globe and in the Payson area that his days were filled with prospecting and drinking at the local saloons. He teamed up with prospectors like Sam Hill and staked mining claims in the Sierra Ancha, and one of these would support him from then on. He also contracted with the government to lay out new roads. As the construction of the Roosevelt Dam got underway in 1906 Sieber, then 62, was asked to supervise a work crew of Tonto Apaches. They were building a new road up the Tonto Basin

from Roosevelt to Payson above the rising waters of the lake. It was a crisp February day in 1907 when the accident happened that ended Sieber’s life. His friend Will Barnes described it, “Sieber was directing matters and as the Indians prepared to roll one great boulder down the side of the mountain to clear the way for the work, they called to him to get into a safer place. With his usual disregard for danger he told them to go ahead and he would take care of himself. Still they hesitated and waited for him to leave the place where he stood. Again he directed them to keep at their work and he would take care of himself. As the giant rock started slowly down the steep side of the mountain he tried to climb far enough to one side to allow it to pass him. But he misjudged its motion; as it neared him he gave a spring, his foot slipped and he fell back directly in the path of the oncoming death. The rock weighing tons passed over him and every Apache who saw it turned his face and dare not look to see what was lying there in the bright sunlight with the life crushed out of it.” A report in the Arizona Republic on Feb. 20 indicated the stone “rolled across Sieber, terribly mangling both his legs. It is said he became unconscious almost immediately and died in a brief time. His head was not hit by

the rock, so his features were not disfigured. In spite of these honorable reports, rumors persisted that among the Tonto Apache crew there were longtime enemies of Al Sieber. Author Dan Thrapp cites several old Army men who believed the Apaches pushed the rock when Sieber was inspecting it. In oral histories taken with Tonto Apaches in 1970, Paul and Rose Burdette, Ola Smith and Eva Engle reported how their families were all working on the road with Sieber, and their fathers told them about that day. Paul Burdette said, “I heard they rolled a rock over him.” Sieber’s body was buried in the old Globe cemetery, in the Odd Fellows section. Another monument of native stone, cut and inscribed by Sieber’s Apache road crew marked the site where he died. By 1934 the highway was rerouted to a higher level because of the rising waters of Roosevelt Lake. The monument was moved, but once again when the road was improved it was moved yet again to about a mile north of the dam where it can be seen. [1] For anyone interested reading the details of Al Sieber’s life as an Army scout in the exciting two decades of 1870s and 1880s a good place to begin is with Dan Thrapp’s book “Al Sieber: Chief of Scouts” (University of Oklahoma Press).

Denton Petersen won all around saddles as the top point earner for the season in both the Arizona Junior Rodeo Association and the Queen Creek Junior Rodeo Association.

Petersen top junior cowboy by

Keith Morris

roundup sports editor

Denton Petersen spends a lot of his weekends traveling the state to compete in junior rodeos. And the experience heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gained seems to be paying off for the Payson High senior. The Star Valley resident won saddles as the top all around cowboy of the year in two different circuits. He finished first in the Arizona Junior Rodeo Association 16-18 Boys All Around season point standings. His 659 left him way ahead of runner-up Wyatt Kent of Casa Grande, who totaled 566. Petersen finished first in the 16-18 boys division in both calf roping and boys ribbon roping and second in both team roping and chute dogging. The season concluded with the Prescott Finals on May 14. He also won the all around crown in the Queen Creek Junior Rodeo Association, which concluded its season on May 7-8 in Payson. Petersen easily won the all around title by scoring 706 points. Runner-up Ty Stephens

earned 620. Petersen, also an excellent student, won three teen boys events in the final QCJRA event in Payson on May 7-8. He took first in calf tying with a combined time of 17.06 seconds for two runs, ribbon roping with a combined two-run time of 22.92 and steer stopping with a combined time of 6.98 seconds for two rounds. Petersen stands in 11th place in the all around point standings in the Arizona High School Rodeo Association. The AHSRA season concludes with the State Finals Rodeo in Payson on June 8-11. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seventh in steer wrestling, ninth as the header in team roping and ninth in tie-down calf roping. Petersen (header) teamed with McLane Arballo (heeler) to win the AHSRA team roping title in 8.3 seconds in the first round of the Prescott Rodeo on April 30. He and Arballo finished third (7.49 seconds) in the second round on May 1. Paysonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Monty James finished second (12.42 seconds) in the second round of the tie-down calf roping on May 1.

Tonto Basinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s TR Frost qualified for the Junior National Finals Rodeo next month in Tennessee in one event and came close to qualifying in two others.

Eighth-grader makes nationals by

Keith Morris

roundup sports editor

A hunt that began in September ended successfully as Talaura Rhyann Frost captured the prize she sought. The 15-year-old Tonto Basin eighth-grader who goes by TR qualified for next monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Junior High National Finals Rodeo in Lebanon, Tenn. in ribbon roping. The top four in the season point standings for each event qualify for the nationals. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the runner and Colton Guin of Casa Grande is the roper in ribbon roping. They finished second this season after the Arizona Junior High Rodeo Association State Finals Rodeo on April 30 in Prescott. After Guin ropes the calf, Frost races to it and grabs the ribbon off its tail. They finished the year with 68 points, second only to Brad Moreno, of Kayenta, and Janae Todacheenie, of Holbrook, who

totaled 77 points. She nearly qualified in two events. Frost finished fifth, one spot from qualifying, in girls goat tying. She scored 68 points, just two back of fourth-place Savannah Fowlie of Phoenix. And she also came close in girls breakaway, finishing sixth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Qualifying in at least two events was my goal, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m disappointed not to make it in the goats,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just glad I made it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never been to Tennessee.â&#x20AC;? Frost also finished fourth in the all around cowgirl season point standings in the Queen Creek Junior Rodeo Association. She finished second in teen girls barrel racing with a combined two-run time of 35.65 seconds in the QCJRA Rodeo in Payson on May 7-8. She also took third in teen girls pole bending in a combined two-run time of 45.81 and won the first round in teen girls breakaway in 2.9 seconds.
