Graduates won’t stop believing by

It’s not so easy to stand in front of 120 of your classmates who have watched you for 12 years, cry and laugh, goof off and be serious, succeed and fail to share words of wisdom. Salutatorian Ali Tenney decided it best to break into song. Brave girl, she assumed that her classmates would chime in when she launched into Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’.” They did not disappoint. “Whew! Thanks for singing with me, I wasn’t sure you would,” she said with a slight tremble to her voice. The song did perfectly capture her message, however. “Act on what you believe,” she said.

She also told her classmates she believed in them. “You will always be like Santa Claus to me — no matter what anyone else thinks, I believe in you,” she said to laughs all around. Valedictorian Zoe Wright focused on high school graduation as the summation of small moments, difficult to say goodbye to. “As I thought about all the goodbyes I said this year, a quote from one of my favorite Disney characters, Winnie the Pooh, came to mind, ‘How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard,’” she said. Things such as, “Going to dances with my best friends. Goofing around between classes and not worrying if we got swept. Attending the fabulous musicals, plays and concerts. Doing explosive experiments in chemistry.

Being crazy loud in the football stands. Having a character-themed feast in English. Or driving with a carload of friends to the ASU stadium to support our softball girls at state.” Yet some things from high school life, she admitted, were not so hard to say goodbye to: “Having to walk all around ‘A’ building because the front gate was locked. Sitting through one of those Internet safety classes in CTP. Getting scolded because my I.D. wasn’t on my lanyard or clipped to my torso.” Both lists received wild applause and guffaws of laughter. For graduation always has a bittersweet taste of hope and regret that only fades when the new class arrives and a new year starts. But it didn’t hurt that this class ended the ceremony with fireworks.

Payson awards pipeline contract $1.6 million job goes to local contractor by

The Payson Town Council last week moved ahead to rezone a 253-acre Forest Service parcel so that it can only harbor an educational institution or related facilities. No one asked to testify at the public hearing on the proposal to change the zoning from residential and open space to an “educational facilities” zone. Payson took the action mostly to reassure the Forest Service that the property will end up the site of a four-year university and assorted spin-off facilities.

Payson last week awarded a contract to create eventual connections between the C.C. Cragin Reservoir and the town’s existing water system. system. The seven bids ranged from JNL’s $1.589 million to a bid of $2.3 million submitted by Redpoint Contracting. “This is the next step in moving forward with C.C. Cragin,” said Town Engineer LaRon Garrett.

Later in the same meeting, the council also approved a $158,000 contract with the local Tetra Tech engineering firm to oversee the project. The town has worked extensively with Tetra Tech on many projects and also used

The zoning doesn’t have much effect as long as the Forest Service owns the property, since the federal government remains largely immune to local zoning ordinances. Moreover, educational institutions like school districts can also build whatever they like, without reference to town zoning. However, the town-imposed zoning does come into play if the Forest Service or an educational institution tries to sell a parcel to a private owner. Therefore, the zoning effectively would prevent the Forest Service from selling the parcel to anyone except an educational institution.

And if the Rim Country Educational Alliance did turn around and sell it to someone else, they would need a zone change to build anything besides an educational institution. Plans to change the zoning on the property came up only recently, mostly as a result of divisions on the board of the Alliance. Former board members and chairmen Steve Drury and Mary Kastner, both raised questions about whether backers for the university plan had an ulterior motive in buying the property from the Forest Service. The two Alliance board members balked at plans to have the

Payson has awarded a $1.5 million contract to build the next phase of the C.C. Cragin pipeline to a local contractor, plus another $158,000 contract to a local engineering firm to supervise the work. “This is another historic occasion,” said Payson Councilor Fred Carpenter, as he made a motion to approve the contract at last week’s council meeting. JNL Contracting submitted the low bid for the work, $1.589 million. The firm was the only local contractor to submit a bid to install an 18-inch water line from the intersection of Tyler Parkway at Highway 87 to the intersection of Zurich Drive and Highway 87. The project will require the contractor to dig two tunnels under Highway 87 to connect the new water line with the town’s existing water

As Brenda Burnett bent down to grab one of her dog’s toys she heard her husband of 15 years, Randy Burnett, calmly tell her something she had never heard him say before — “Brenda, if you should ever listen to me, listen to me this time. Get back into the house.” Thus was Brenda’s testimony in Globe Wednesday on the first day of the trial of the man accused of murdering her husband — the couple’s neighbor Michael Voden Mike Voden is charged with of Payson. Brenda heard a sound, turned second-degree murder for around and stood up. Randy was the 2013 shooting of Randy walking further into Voden’s yard Burnett. on East Rancho Road, his hands up, reportedly to display that he was not holding anything. And then — ecstasy. That is what Brenda testified she saw on Voden’s face over the corner of her husband’s shoulder. Before she could say or do a thing, the gunshots rang out, breaking the silence of the clear, warm morning. The shots woke neighbors, bringing many to their porches to wonder what was going on in Voden’s botanical garden. Voden shot Randy four times, twice in the back. Did he act in a fit of senseless rage or did he act in self-defense to stop his much larger, younger neighbor from attacking him?

From page 1A In opening arguments Thursday, lawyers presented two very different accounts of why Voden shot and killed his neighbor outside his kitchen door in the fall of 2013. The Gila County Attorney’s Office chief deputy attorney Shawn Fuller said Voden shot his neighbor because he was enraged that a dog, Randy’s coon hound Scooter, was messing up his beloved garden. Only afterward did Voden try to deceive investigators and everyone involved about what really happened, crafting multiple accounts, said Fuller in his opening statement. But defense attorney Michael Bernays said Voden was protecting himself from Randy, who had trespassed onto Voden’s land, ignored Voden’s demand that he leave and instead continued to advance on Voden, who had his handgun drawn. The defense insists Voden feared for his life, assuming the much larger man would take his gun and use it against him. “It is horrible that a man is dead,” Bernays said. “It is horrible that Scooter is the cause of it all.” Moving day turns deadly

The Burnetts moved in next door to Voden and his wife Pat Rollins, who sat in the audience Thursday in a wheelchair, after a friend at church offered to rent the Burnetts his cabin. The couple had lived in Payson since 2010. They met in 1997 while working at a nursing home in Prescott. He was a registered nurse, with a psychiatric specialty, and she a certified nursing assistant. They became good friends and married a year later in Las Vegas. Fast-moving prostate cancer later weakened Randy, but he was in remission when the couple decided to move to the new home in Payson. Just three months earlier, Randy had insisted on getting baptized again. On the first night at their new home, Brenda stayed alone with their springer spaniel Molly, Brenda calmly told the jury. She only broke down when she stepped off the witness stand and fell, weeping into the arms of a supporter. Randy arrived the second night and they slept on a mattress thrown on the floor, most of their belongings still piled up outside in boxes. In the morning, Brenda let Molly and Scooter out to go to the bathroom. She later noticed Scooter had somehow gotten into the neighbor’s yard. She had not at that point met Voden. She said Scooter was running around Voden’s yard, yelping playfully and having a grand time. She went outside to a low, closed gate separating the two yards. When Scooter would not heed her calls, she yelled, “Neighbor, neighbor, my dog is in your yard.” She didn’t hear a response. She grabbed french fries left over from the night before to entice the dog back into her yard, but Scooter would not return. She woke Randy, who she described as a slow starter in the morning, and ushered him outside to help. They stepped into Voden’s yard a few steps. Randy told Brenda to grab a toy to get Scooter’s attention. Voden had come out through his kitchen door, a handgun in one hand and the phone in the other. He was on the phone with a 911 operator who yelled at him to go back inside his house, stay away from the person in his yard and wait for police. Voden and Randy had an exchange of words, audible but hard to understand on the 911 tape. Then Voden fired. Shocked, Brenda ran back into their home and called for help, not realizing Voden was already on the line with dispatchers. As her husband lay motionless on the ground, Brenda yelled out at him, her “sweetie,” that help was on the way and that she loved him, believing he might still hear her. He died before help arrived. Self-defense argument

In his opening arguments, Bernays repeatedly said Voden shot Randy out of self-defense. He pointed out the shooting did not take place on the street or in Randy’s yard, but in Voden’s fenced property, his “castle.” He said Randy was trespassing, passing through a closed gate uninvited. He said while Randy was supposedly in the yard to get Scooter, he made no effort to go after Scooter or grab the dog. Instead, Randy walked up to Voden at his kitchen door where Voden was standing barefoot with a gun. Randy moved in such a way that Voden believed Randy was going to overcome him, grab his gun and perhaps use it against him, said the defense lawyer. While Bernays said he does not know what Randy was thinking that morning, he clearly advanced on Voden despite Voden telling him to go.

This crime scene photo shows that Voden shot his neighbor within several feet of his back door. And at 5 feet, 8 inches tall, Voden, 71, was scared of Randy, who was younger, 53, and taller, 6 feet. Bernays says he does not know if Randy was under the influence at the time, but he had oxycodone in his system, medical reports show. And while the medical examiner cannot place the order of the shots, the bullets struck Randy once in the chest, one in the shoulder and twice in the back. Bernays speculated that the first shots hit Randy in the front and the final shots hit him in the back as he fell. Arizona law says, a “person is justified in threatening or using physical force against another when and to the extent a reasonable person would believe that physical force is immediately necessary to protect himself against the other’s use or attempted use of unlawful physical force.” Actual danger is not necessary, Bernays said, just a reasonable perception of danger. Voden had no legal obligation to retreat to avoid the confrontation under the state’s “stand your ground” law. Bernays said Voden’s actions were justified and the state cannot prove otherwise. Voden, who appeared in a tan suit and camouflage slippers, took notes throughout the day of testimony.

He asked why she didn’t tell Van Camp that morning that Randy had told her to go back into the home. And he asked if she ever saw Randy make any effort to get the dog out of the yard. Brenda says she did not see Randy go toward Scooter. Bernays asked Brenda if she was telling the jury a different story than what she told detectives that morning because she has a financial incentive to do so. He pointed out that she has filed a $5 million civil suit against Voden. In his rebuttal, Fuller says Randy walked toward Voden with hands up because he was not a stupid man. Randy saw that his neighbor had a gun and he was not going to turn his back on him to go after the dog, Fuller said. Fuller asked Brenda if she saw Randy do anything that would constitute a threat to Voden. She said she did not. Fuller asked if Brenda saw Voden’s face clearly. “What did his face look like?” he asked. “He was in ecstasy,” she said. “Did it look like he was in pain?” he asked. “No,” she said. “Did it look like he was being injured by your husband?” “No,” she said. “Did it look like he was being punched by your husband?” “No,” she said. “Assaulted by your husband?” “No.” “Kicked by your husband?” “No.” “Did your husband jump on him?” “No,” she said. On the topic of the lawsuit, Fuller asked Brenda if she would give $5 million to have her husband back. “When you woke up on that Saturday morning and your dog left and you went to go get your husband, were you thinking, ‘I hope this is the day my husband is murdered so I can file a civil suit?’” “No,” she said. The first to arrive

PPD Officers Chris McDonough and Jared Meredith arrived first at the scene. When Voden came out of his home, McDonough said Voden’s hands were “all over the place.” It took four or five attempts before Voden complied with their orders and they could get him in handcuffs. When they got him to the hospital to get checked out, McDonough testified he heard Voden say Randy was walking toward him when he fired the fatal shots. He didn’t say Randy ran, jumped or attacked him, he said walked, Fuller said. “If he would have just stopped walking towards him, he would still be alive today,” A ‘senseless’ murder McDonough testified he heard Voden say in a Fuller took a completely different view calm, carefree tone, like it was “no big deal.” of the case.

Payson Community Kids need more volunteers to provide after-school programs for at-risk kids. The group provides a safe, nurturing environment for children without a secure place after school.

Kids need volunteers by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

Every day after school, Payson Community Kids offers children a safe place to play, do art, have a snack and hang out with friends — even teens enjoy going — but volunteers make it all work. Executive Director Perala Guereque, who grew up going to PCK, said the program has been around for 15 years, but it’s not a household name. “Payson Community Kids started because kids were on the street and hungry because their parents were not home — they were at-risk kids,” she said. “We’re still serving the at-risk kids. We are a free program for everybody, you don’t have to be at-risk or low income, but we do target them.” The program has grown exponentially over the years since starting in the Southern Baptist Church. Last year, PCK moved to a building behind the Expedition Church off of Bonita. “At that time we had about 60 kids, now we have about 80,” she said. And the new facility can hold more it just needs volunteers. Besides art projects, playtime, snacks every day and dinner twice a week, PCK has expanded to offer tutoring because the PCK leadership noticed a lot of kids struggling. “During April spring break (we heard) they were going to get held back because they didn’t know whatever requirements,” said Guereque. “We started a tutoring program on Wednesdays, one-on-one reading for the kids. We started off with 10 kids. By October we had 35 kids coming to get help with reading. We didn’t have the volunteers to be able to read with 35 kids.” PCK still struggles to find enough volunteers to help with the reading tutorial program, but with the help of other local organizations found enough help to continue the program. “We are working with the literacy program, they are actually in charge of the reading program,” said Guereque. Seeing the success with reading, the PCK staff decided to add math to its tutoring program. Yet PCK strives to make sure lots of fun mixes with homework and studies. “On Tuesdays and Thursdays it’s more fun,” said Guereque. “We serve dinner at 4 and the program ends at 5.” Middle and high school students arrive after 3:30. Guereque said they come to have a quiet, safe place

to do homework, but they are learning more, too. “Since they are usually always helping they are kind of the role models,” said Guereque. Yet the PCK staff did not want the older students to feel simply like babysitters, so they created a program that adds value added skills to the teenagers’ education. “Once a month we help them become the best they can be,” said Guereque. “How to change oil in a car, how to cook, how to be more independent, help them go to college. Even how to tip and why you tip and how to calculate a tip.” Guereque said the PCK teens have even started to cook dinner. All of this takes a lot of manpower, said Guereque. She said volunteers can do anything from working with the children to fundraising, to cooking meals, to running programs, such as art. On a Tuesday, Eillen Plutchings and Becky Hodge patiently tied string around pine cones and refilled cups with peanut butter in preparation for the next wave of students to come through and learn how to make a peanut butter covered pine cone to roll in birdseed. Hodge has volunteered with PCK for two years. “I just love kids,” she said. “It’s the best thing I do for myself.” Plutchings has volunteered for a year. Helping PCK satisfies her desire to serve. In order to support the volunteers, PCK has hired Dina Hershberger as the volunteer coordinator. If interested in helping, send her an email at pckvc14@gmail.com or call (928) 478-7160.

Firefighters pleading for help Arizona is a “wildfire state,” which is another way of saying our state has a history of destructive wildfires. In the past five years alone, large wildfires have burned over 850,000 acres and caused hundreds of millions in damages. “It’s hard to exaggerate the threat of wildfire in Arizona or the importance of preparing for them,” said Wendy Smith-Reeve, deputy director for the Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs (DEMA).

“Wildfires can’t be predicted or always prevented, but home and business owners can take steps to mitigate the threat of wildfires to themselves, firefighters and their property.” Wildfire mitigation is the focus of a new public service announcement campaign from DEMA titled “Have Their Backs.” The statewide campaign will run through June and includes radio and television spots in English and Spanish, and billboards in communities that have

experienced large wildfires like Sierra Vista, Heber-Overgaard and Prescott. The radio and television spots and billboards ask Arizonans to “have the backs” of wildland firefighters and to begin to “live Firewise” by making simple home improvements to protect your investment. “Firefighters risk their safety every time they go out on the line,” said Smith-Reeve. “One way people can honor firefighters’ service is to live Firewise.”

Teachers honored by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff writer

Payson Unified School District has initiated a recognition ceremony for those employees that have served for a decade or more. Superintendent Greg Wyman purchased a glass apple atop a pedestal as a memento for the years of service to the children of Rim Country. “We wanted to give a little apple and thank you for what you have done for the kids in Payson,” said Wyman. “You may not know the impact — they will take a little bit of you with them throughout their life.” Board member Jim Quinlan, himself a former PUSD teacher, applauded the recognition. “This is a wonderful recognition for all their hard work,” said Quinlan. Devon Wells, longtime Payson High School culinary arts instructor, shared an emotional moment with board president Barbara Underwood.

Other employees honored for their years of service included: Nancy Beeler Ross Carpenter Lou Crabtree Beverly Draper Lisa Dunman Will Dunman Ginny Ennen Donna Haught Vicki Ladewski Carmelita Locke Jodi Lorenz Dorothy McKim Judy Poston Barbara Potvin Leslie Reisdorf Anna Van Zile Devon Wells Ironically enough, many of those recognized have notified the district that Michele Nelson/Roundup they won’t be returning next year, including Lou Crabtree, Lisa and Will Dunman, Veteran Payson High School teacher Devon Wells has spearheaded the school’s highly regarded culinary arts program. Donna Haught, Anna Van Zile and Devon However, at a recent board meeting she announced her decision to leave. Here, she received the congratulations from Wells. members of the Payson School Board for her long and distinguished service to the district.

Jammin’ with the band – for 18 years Each year the bands from beginning to advanced set up on the lawn behind the Rim Country Middle School gym to entertain friends, family and the community. “This is the 18th year for Band Jam,” announced Daria Mason to the assembled crowd. Mason teaches beginning band at RCMS and plays in the Big Band Music Machine. Other conductors included Mike Buskirk, director of the RCMS advanced band and Sergio Beraun, Payson High School symphonic band director. Both Beraun and Buskirk also play in the Big Band Music Machine. Usually, the evening is warm enough for people to enjoy an early evening dinner with picnic baskets and blankets. However this year, the winds decided to blow and the temperature remained low, chilling everyone to the bone. Bravely the bands from the RCMS beginning band to the PHS symphonic band to the Big Band Music Machine played songs that had many tapping their toes in enjoyment, while others huddled under blankets determined to support their student musicians.

an honorable memorial day The crowds attending Payson’s annual Memorial Day service at Green Valley Park have grown each year since the dedication of the Veterans Memorial in May 2001. This year every chair provided was filled and people crowded into the park bandstand and nearby picnic ramada. Still others had their own chairs, some brought blankets to spread on the ground, there were people kneeling and standing as well. The Payson Patriotic Events Committee, chaired by retired Marine Corps Col. Bill Sahno, included a program of prayers, patriotic music, military anthems and presentations by Payson and Tonto Tribal officials. Some shared stories, their voices cracking with emotion; some called upon the words of others urging that the veterans who have died alone and forgotten also be honored. All the while, the flags at the Green Valley Park Veterans Memorial blew briskly, almost as if at attention in a silent tribute. It was an honorable Memorial Day.

It’s about you. It’s about time. Call Robyn. Over 30 years in Rim Country.

Payson approves fireworks contract

BISHOP REALTY

roundup editor

The Payson Town Council last week approved spending $10,000 in water department money to help pay for a $20,000 July 4 show, which annually draws tens of thousands of people to the region. The Northern Gila County Sanitary District will also put up $10,000 to stage the fireworks show. The council decision memo noted that anywhere from 8,000 to 20,000 people typically attend the fireworks show — although the population of Payson is only 16,000. “The show offers an excellent opportunity to celebrate Independence Day and bring neighbors together in a social gathering. The 4th of July is the largest Town of Payson event and draws thousands of tourists from all over

the state. It funnels revenues into the town via sales and bed tax revenue.” The town several years ago increased the bed tax, promising hotels it would use the money to promote tourism in the region. However, the money for the July 4 show will come from the water department, which supports itself entirely on residents’ water bill payments. The water department several years ago also loaned the town’s general fund $1 million, which the town still hasn’t repaid. The town will contract with Fireworks Production of Arizona to put on the show. If the town cancels the event due to the weather, it will still have to pay a 10 to 50 percent restocking fee. Last year, a monsoon storm moved in and delayed the start of the show by more than an hour. When the rain finally let up, more

than half of the crowd had melted away. But the people who stayed enjoyed a spectacular, 35-minute show. The company said the show will include 6,145 “aerial effects,” some 945 “shells” and 5,200 fireworks shot off from the basins. The fireworks will include Chrysanthemums, Rings, Waves, Crowns, Peonies, Strobes, Double Rings, Brocade Crowns, Diadems and “Crossettes in gorgeous reds, yellows, blues, greens silvers and golds.” The Grand Finale alone will consist of 183 aerial shells, 108 of them 2.5 inches and 75 of them three inches. The contract requires the town to maintain a $10 million insurance policy. The contract also gives both parties an out in the case of an “Act of God,” which includes fire, accident, strikes or terrorism.

Star Valley OKs waste company request by

roundup staff reporter

It was a rare evening for the Star Valley Town Council. For the first time in a very long time the members were asked to act on a conditional use permit at the May 19 meeting.

START YOUR DRIVE TO NOWHERE.

Roy Haught submitted the request for his Waste Matters Inc. company. He wants to use the fenced property and facilities at 61 Moonlight Drive, Star Valley, to transfer refuse from garbage trucks to roll-off containers that will be loaded onto trucks and transfer the trash to Camp Verde for recycling. Haught explained the transfers would take place in an enclosed building with a concrete floor. Additionally, any maintenance needed by the garbage trucks will also be done in the enclosed building. Robert Rippy, Star Valley’s operations superintendent, provided a staff report on the request: The property is zoned C3, which is the highest commercial use allowed currently in the Town of Star Valley.

No trash storage or sorting on the property is planned. The refuse will be transferred to containers and transported to Camp Verde daily, where the sorting and recycling work will take place. The council approved the P&Z’s recommendation, giving Haught a five-year permit. The town can pull the permit if Haught fails to meet the conditions.

mount cross ribbon cutting Mount Cross Lutheran Church, 601 E. Highway 260, played host to a crowd of well-wishers at its May 16 ribbon-cutting ceremony. Payson Mayor Kenny Evans, along with Councilor Su Connell, offered congratulatory remarks. In less than five years, the members of Mount Cross raised half of the approximately $2 million needed to construct the new building. The 11,000-square-foot building houses the church’s worship center, the church and pastor’s offices, a kitchen, music room, and both formal and informal meeting areas, plus handicap/wheelchair accessible restrooms. The worship center can accommodate up to 225 people. The church was given a goal by the state leadership in 2005 to remodel its existing sanctuary, find a new property or construct a new building. The congregation voted to build a new worship center on the property it already owned and the site of its first sanctuary and ancillary buildings. The congregation had its first service in the new sanctuary on Nov. 9, 2014.

Vital airport area development extended Council approves Payson Airport land exchange extension by

Pete Aleshire

roundup editor

The Payson Town Council last week gave the feuding owners of nearly 200 acres of empty land vital to the town’s housing future more time to work out their issues. It took nearly 20 years to work out the Forest Service land exchange for the Montezuma Castle parcels surrounding the airport. The investors finally pushed the exchange and purchase through the Forest Service process about six years ago, just in time for the collapse of the housing market. The council six years ago approved zoning for the 200 acres, which now includes the

bulk of Payson’s industrial and apartment zoning. The area remains crucial to the town’s job prospects, accounting for most of the remaining large parcels on which to locate new job-producing manufacturing operations. Moreover, the area now includes most of the empty land zoned for apartment buildings. Before the recession dropped home prices and led to a large number of homes for rent hitting the market, Payson had a serious problem providing housing someone could afford making the average Payson salary. Town officials fear that if building resumes after the launch of the university project and other developments in the pipeline, the town could quickly face an affordable housing crisis. That makes the Montezuma

Castle development up around the airport crucial, both for jobs and housing. The preliminary plans already approved by the council envisioned some 400 housing units, mostly apartments. However, the approval of those plans came with a deadline for starting construction. As it turns out, the owners of the three parcels have been in court with conflicts about the future of the property. So they asked Payson for an extension of the deadline for starting development. If the council refused to approve the exten-

sion, the property owners would have to start all over — adding months to the ultimate development process and adding another element of uncertainty to their plans. The council unanimously approved the extension. Payson Mayor Kenny Evans noted that conditions remain in effect that essentially require the three parcels to develop as a unit, to ensure that all three parcels have adequate streets, water, sewers and other infrastructure, no matter which of the three parcels actually gets built on first.

O B I T U A R Y Joan Hoover (Jo) Morgan

CHARLIE’S

(1926-2015)

Joan Hoover Morgan was born June 26, 1931 in Lancaster, Pa. to Ruth Miller Hoover and Harold E. Hoover, the youngest of four children. She married her high school sweetheart, Robert (Bob) Morgan, while he was in the U.S. Army, Oct. 5, 1951, and later joined him in Ft. Sill, Okla. while he served his country. She was employed as an administrative clerk and bookkeeper throughout her life, and worked for a number of entities as they moved about when Bob’s career required it. They returned to their home state of Pennsylvania after his release from the military, and after about six months, yearned for the Western part of the country they had grown to love, and moved to the Phoenix, Ariz. area in early 1953. After their retirement, she and her husband took many detours while traveling across

the country, where they would search out senior facilities in the area, and Bob, who was a keyboardist, would perform for the seniors living there, and she would engage the residents in conversation. She, along with her husband, were active church members, and while Bob provided the music wherever needed, she was very active in the missions of the various churches they attended. She is survived by her husband, Bob Morgan; a daughter, Michelle Goodman, of Parker, Ariz.; a son, R. (Judd) (Jan) Morgan of Payson; and Zane Scot Morgan (Michelle) of Peoria, Ariz.; four grandchildren, Miles and Taylor Goodman, of Parker, Corey and Logan Morgan of Payson; and one great-grandson, Joel Goodman. A private family ceremony will be held at a future date, and in lieu of flowers, please donate to Payson’s Hospice Compassus.

Town awards pipeline contract From page 1A the engineering firm to review the seven bids. Because it’s a professional service contract, the law doesn’t require the town to get competitive bids for the work. The project will provide a crucial link to connect water from the C.C. Cragin Reservoir with the town’s water system, probably sometime in 2018. The town has rights to 3,000 acre-feet of water from the reservoir atop the Rim, which will more than double the town’s longterm, sustainable water supply. The town recently took out a $28

million loan from the state Water Infrastructure Finance Authority to complete the project, which will make Payson one of the few communities in the state with more than enough water to sustain its build-out plans. The town backed up its ability to repay the state loan by boosting water rates roughly 25 percent, with additional increases on tap. The town may avert the planned future rate increases if building resumes and impact fees begin to once again flow into the water department’s pipeline fund. The town raised nearly $10 million in impact fees, most of it before

the building collapse during the recession — but spent almost all that money on preliminary pipeline costs. The most recent contract approved will put in water pipes to help carry water from the notyet-built water treatment plant alongside Houston Mesa Road with the town’s existing water system. The town has developed a complex system to pump water out of the ground for residential use. But that existing system relies on many separate zones, connected to individual wells. Once the C.C. Cragin water

Brush fire threatens highway Firefighters on Friday quickly snuffed out a human-caused brush fire about 21 miles northeast of Phoenix off Highway 87. Drivers reported the Valley Fire at around 12:30 p.m. Friday. The fire grew quickly to approximately 11 acres, before crews could respond. Resources on the scene included four fire engines, a team of 20 Hotshots, a helicopter and an airplane, which made one retardant drop. Firefighters spent the day making sure there were no hot spots, and have declared the fire contained and controlled. The human-caused fire is still under investigation. The wet, cool weather in May has put off the start of the most dangerous phase of the fire season.

Pete Aleshire shot this photo of the now-full C.C. Cragin Reservoir on a recent helicopter flight sponsored by Salt River Project. Nearly empty last fall, the reservoir has refilled despite a dry winter.

University site rezoning eyed From page 1A Rim Country Educational Foundation buy the Forest Service parcel, with money fronted from the Mogollon Health Alliance. Kastner objected to the Foundation’s proposal to share title on the Forest Service parcel, saying the land should belong only to the Alliance, although the Foundation provided money for the purchase. Drury raised similar objections before he resigned from the Alliance board. The Payson Town Council ultimately declined to reappoint Kastner to the Alliance board, effectively replacing her with Payson Councilor Su Connell. Kastner then wrote a letter to Tonto National Forest Supervisor Neil Bosworth, suggesting that it was possible that the backers of the university project intended to ultimately transfer ownership of the land to the Foundation, dissolve the Alliance and then perhaps to use the land for some non-educational purpose. The Forest Service agreed to sell the land to the Alliance through a direct sale, on the assurance it would be devoted to an educational purpose. The Forest Service set the value of the land at $4.1 million through an almost year-long independent appraisal. The direct sale allows the Alliance to buy the land directly without competitive bids, on the promise it would serve an educational purpose. Kastner has continued to raise questions about the land purchase, although the reconstituted Alliance board and the Foundation board have agreed to share title, at least until the Alliance can repay the upfront money advanced by the Foundation for the land. On the Roundup’s blog, Kastner recently commented, “I was not against the campus being built on the Forest Service property, despite the increased infrastructure costs involved for that

parcel. I was against (Payson Mayor Kenny) Evans’ Foundation acquiring title to the property from the FS in a “direct sale” because they were paying for the land. The FS told Evans if that was to be the case, the whole process would start over and the property would go out to public bid. I view this as “bait and switch” and so did others on the SLE (Separate Legal Entity). I had to be removed because, as Evans has stated, Mary went rogue on us and messed up our plans. The drawings provided by RSP Architects are merely “footprints” of buildings and should not be considered as elevations.” Drury, Kastner and others had worried that the relatively steep slopes on much of the Forest Service parcel would make it expensive to build a campus on that site. Despite the concerns raised by Kastner, Tonto National Forest Supervisor Neil Bosworth has approved a purchase agreement with the Alliance, which has said it intends to share title with the Foundation, which has raised all of the money for the project. The Foundation’s board is appointed by the Mogollon Health Alliance, which is apparently providing the bulk of the money for the land purchase. Bosworth raised no objection to sharing title, so long as the property was used for an educational purpose, as stipulate in the direct sales agreement. Which brings us back to the Payson council’s hearing last week on rezoning the property.

arrives, the town will rely entirely on reservoir water for nine months of the year. This will allow the underground water table to recover to historic levels, but also required a series of projects to connect all the different zones — complete with pumps and boosters to get water to high points. The town will divert some of the Cragin water to a pipeline built by the two country clubs, which will use untreated reservoir water to irrigate golf courses. That line will also provide irrigation water to the proposed university site. The town has a long-term contract to provide irrigation water to the country clubs, an issue that proved controversial during the last town council election. The rest of the water from the C.C. Cragin Reservoir will flow through a $10 million treatment and filtration plant, then into the new series of pipes to flow into the existing water system. The town has not yet awarded a contract to build the water filtration plant.

“We really don’t focus on teaching kids how to make healthy choices,” said Weldon. “We don’t talk about mental health. Part of keeping mental health is not putting substances in there.” Stress, anxiety, depression and addiction often create a feedback loop that traps sufferers in an endless cycle of pain. Weldon said Southwest Behavioral offers help to break the patterns of addiction and help end the pain of mental illness that often accompanies addiction. She said Southwest Behavioral offers individual and group counseling, along with psychiatric evaluations and medications. “It’s about treating the whole person,” said Weldon. “It could be that there is depression. Maybe there is also diabetes and heart disease. We’re whole people.” Southwest tries to coordinate with community resources, such as primary care doctors, faithbased services, social services, housing and food banks. In the end though, the person in recovery is in charge. “We have embraced an approached client direc-

tive, the person enrolled leads the team,” said Weldon. “The rest of the team comes together, but they choose. “We look at the outcomes — if we tried something and it’s not working we suggest other ideas, but it’s up to them.” Weldon said Southwest Behavioral helps people, “from cradle to grave.” She said even infants could show mental distress. Weldon said Southwest Behavioral could help children from birth to age 5 when they have issues attaching to their caregiver. But how to know when it’s time to seek help? “When the behavior is interfering with life,” said Weldon. She said parents should notice if their child’s grades have suddenly dropped, they have lost interest in favorite activities, or hang out with people the parents don’t know. Weldon said most people are referred to Southwest Behavioral by their primary care physicians, but others simply walk into the office asking for help. No matter what the challenge, Southwest Behavioral is there to make a difference. “There is always hope. If you don’t have hope for yourself we’ll hold it for you,” said Weldon.

In Loving Memory of Helen Gertrude Graul

aka Patricia Fleener Graser

Helen Gertrude Graul (aka Patricia Fleener Graser) was born to Daniel Leslie and Jennie Mabel Graul in Arion, Iowa on October 14, 1923. She was the seventh of eight children. Grew up in Davenport, Iowa and became known as “Patricia”. She graduated from North High in Des Moines while living with the Fleener family. Moved to San Diego at a young age and met the man of her dreams, Charles W. Graser, while working at Convair. Chuck, as he was known by his friends, was a handsome Marine and he too fell deeply in love with this beautiful Iowa farm girl. Chuck and Pat married on November 10, 1945 and began their new journey in life. Together they raised 3 children, Mike, Debi and Janice in La Mesa, California. Pat was a homemaker….she made her house a loving home for her children. She enjoyed camping and fishing but her true passion was sewing. For several years she taught adult education classes in sewing. Her weekends were spent at the local swap meet where she became known as the “Lace lady” selling lace for only 5 cents a yard! Pat and Chuck moved to Payson, Arizona in 1978. Originally planned to build their home further out of town on the Mogollon Rim but decided being closer in town was the best place. Now the fun began! Pat remained a member at large with Beta Sigma Phi sorority but she soon discovered the joy of volunteering. She joined the Mogollon Health Alliance in 1981 and proudly served 9132.5 hours! Greeting the visitors, working in the gift shop, and serving the patients brought her joy. She knew no strangers and wore her pink jacket with pride! Being part of the Senior Center and Senior Circle also brought her joy. Pat took her job of greeting those attending the Lunch & Learns very seriously! She considered it an honor to welcome them! The family came together to celebrate their parents 50th anniversary and again for their 60th in 2005. Pat was so blessed to have so many friends and she loved the opportunity to share her life and family with them. Chuck had a stroke on January 17, 2007 and went to heaven 3 weeks later. Pat decided to stay in her home and continue volunteering for as long as the Lord needed her to. She had her little dog Trixie for company and so many wonderful friends. Since she loved parties it was only obvious we needed to celebrate her 90th birthday and invite the whole town! She picked the place, Messingers mortuary! After we realized she wasn’t kidding and we saw the beautiful facility we understood. Thank you to all of you that were able to come and celebrate her 90 amazing years. That was a day we will all treasure forever. We pray that when you think of our mom it brings a smile to your face and fills your heart with joy. Remember the little lady in the pink coat that knew no strangers, stopped to talk with everyone and gave of herself to benefit others. She loved the Lord and all of you very much! Survived by her 3 children Mike (Dayna) Graser of Tempe, Arizona, Debi (Miles) Musick of Puyallup, Washington and Janice (Dan) Chesser of Jamul, California, 10 Grandchildren, 6 Great Grandchildren and 1 on the way! WE WILL AGAIN CELEBRATE PATS LIFE ON SATURDAY, MAY 30th at 2:00 AT MESSINGERS MORTUARY. In lieu of flowers our Mom would be blessed for you to donate your time, talents and/or funds to the charity of your choice in her name!

Barnett also makes first-team all-state by

Coaching softball turns out to be a great way to lose weight. Curtis Johnson started this season weighing 225 pounds. He ended it at 190. “I lost 35 pounds and just two games,” he joked during Payson High’s softball banquet last week at Julia Randall Elementary.

Senior center fielder Cori Barnett made the all-state first team thanks to her strong hitting (.333, 6 HR, 30 RBI) and fielding.

“But a diet was not a good idea,” he said. “(Former coach) Kadi (Tenney) didn’t tell me the amount of stress I’d be under.” There may have been some stress, but there was also a lot of success as the Longhorns won 29 consecutive games and shattered the school record for wins, going 34-2 and reaching the Division 3 state championship game for the second straight season. Both losses came to Tucson Empire, including 6-3 in the title game. The stress comes from watching a team decimated by injuries finish second for the second consecutive year. Trainer Jared Tenney stayed busy. “So many injuries caught up to us,” Johnson said. During the banquet, several junior varsity players were also honored with awards and all the returning varsity players, as well as a few JV players, were surprised to learn they’ll be spending a week at ESPN’s Wide World of Sports inside the Disney World Complex in Orlando, Fla. next March as the Longhorns try to provide the best competition they can find in order to help the team be ready to take the final step to a state championship after falling in the Division 3 state championship game each of the last two seasons. “We’ll play two games each morning and by 2 or 3 o’clock go to the theme parks,” Johnson told the players and their parents. “We can pick the level of competition we want and we’ll pick the highest level. I’ll be shocked if we runrule anybody, in fact, we might be runruled. These are going to be some of the best teams from Georgia, Mississippi, New York, etc.”

He said they’ll make the Florida trip during spring break in March in place of the Wickenburg Wrangler Classic. The program will have to raise approximately $1,500 for each of the minimum 15 players coach Johnson plans to take on the trip, which will feature two games each morning then passes to the Disney theme parks. Johnson said the team will hold several fundraisers in an attempt to raise the money and hopes a lot of the money will come from people donating to Credit for Kids. Leading the accolades this season was junior pitcher Arissa Paulson, who was voted Division 3 Player of the Year in voting by coaches at aia365.com. She and senior center fielder Cori Barnett filled two of the 13 positions on the Division All-State First Team. Empire had five players make the first team at six positions, with one girl honored at two positions. Senior Sadie Dunman (2B) and junior Anilese Hayes (DH) earned second-team all-state honors and senior catcher Payton Petersen, junior Becky Bauer (utility) and freshman third baseman Aubrielle Paulson made honorable mention. Empire’s Shannon Woolridge was voted Division Coach of the Year. Among the accolades players received this year that were revealed at the banquet, Paulson was also voted Division 3 Section 5 Player of the Year in the online voting by coaches. Joining her on the 16-member first team all-section squad were seniors Barnett, Dunman and Petersen and junior Hayes. Dunman, at infield and utility, and Hayes, at infield and designated hitter, actually made the first team at two positions. Bauer, who started in the outfield

Grandma and trainer succeed on bodybuilding stage by

Keith Morris

roundup sports editor

A grandmother trying to lose weight after thyroid cancer surgery and a young trainer looking to make her mark came together to succeed in the competitive world of bodybuilding recently. Cheryl Essary gained weight after thyroid cancer led to her having her thyroid removed. She didn’t like how she looked or felt. So she decided to do something about it. Less than five months later, the 43-yearold mother of 10 and grandmother of 22 was standing on a stage in Mesa accepting two bodybuilding trophies following her first competition. “I want my kids and grandkids to be proud of me and to see you can accomplish goals at any age,” she said. Her weightlifting certainly has inspired at least one of her kids. “Some of my boys say, ‘It’s embarrassing that you have bigger muscles than we do,’” she said. “I say, ‘It doesn’t have to be that way.’ So my 14-year-old wants to be in better shape now. Kids sit and play video games and forget they can be physically active.”

Essary said it’s the weight loss side of training that attracted her to it. “I was tired of being overweight and I lost 30 pounds in six months,” she said. “Somebody said I should be in one of these figure competitions. I hired Janell to train me and gave me my workout plans and meal plans. “As anyone who’s ever been on a diet knows, finding the willpower to resist unhealthy food or portions that are too large is a daily challenge. “Every day is a battle with food, you have to really want to hit your goals,” she said. “I could sit and eat a bag of chips or doughnuts, but then I have to look in the mirror. I’m eating every three hours. The food part is difficult. And you can say I don’t want to go to the gym today, but you make yourself go, and every time I’m glad I did, I feel really good.” She said she’s not dieting, she’s made a lifestyle change. The key she said is staying busy. And she has no trouble doing that. Essary works as the receiving and dairy manager at Bashas’ in Payson, is a fire captain with the Houston Mesa Fire Department and is a member of Tonto Rim Search and Rescue where she rappels from helicop-

ters. “I try to stay busy,” she said. Her husband, Houston Mesa Fire Chief Mark Essary, relayed a story she told him. “She was in the dairy department at Bashas’ and someone asked, ‘How do you have arms like that?’” he said. “She said, ‘Milk.’ ‘Drinking it?’ the customer asked. ‘No, stacking it.’” Essary was one of more than 200 competitors from as far away as Brazil in the National Physique Committee (NPC) Natural Western USA Bodybuilding event March 20-21 in Mesa. “Trainers I talked to said it usually takes years to prepare to compete and she came home with two trophies in her first competition after just five and a half months of training,” said Mark. She finished fourth in both Figure Novice and Figure Masters. She trained with Janell Blizzard, the owner of Paramount Training Center. Blizzard also competed and won two trophies, taking first in Figure Novice and third in Figure Open. “Never in my life have I been so proud,” Blizzard said. “Two Payson athletes took top five in a National Qualifying competi-

Bodybuilders wow judges Cheryl Essary (left) and Janell Blizzard both won awards at the National Physique Committee Natural Western USA Bodybuilding competition in Mesa. Essary impressed the judges, who couldn’t believe the grandmother was on the stage for the first time. Submitted photo

Main St. Anyone interested in attending is welcome. For more information, contact Carol Wilson, 1-800-293-9393 or Dee Redfield, (928) 970-1298.

Lions Club serve Rim Country by conducting service and fund-raising projects to help those in need of eye exams and eyeglasses as well as hearing exams and hearing aids.

Christ-Centered Recovery

Christ-Centered Recovery group meets at 6:30 p.m. every Thursday at Calvary Chapel Payson, 1103 N. Beeline Highway. The group uses a faith-based discipleship program called One Step to Freedom. The purpose is more than to merely free dependent persons from their dependency on drugs, alcohol, or other substances, including overeating or gambling; it is also designed to bring people into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. This is done by breaking down the strongholds that have kept members chained to an unproductive and destructive lifestyle. Childcare is provided. Call (928) 468-0801 for more information.

Trainer turning heads on national figure scene From page 1B tion. This was honestly the best day of my life. After a long night, and several pizzas, cookies and candies later, I cried from all the stress and tension, emotions, and everything else.” It was Blizzard’s third year in the event and her best finish after placing sixth two years ago and seventh last year. She became the owner of Paramount Training Center in January of this year. “Being a personal trainer, business owner and competitor, it is tough to juggle,” Blizzard said. “I am completely selftrained and I also make my own nutrition plans and do all my own contest prep. “As a trainer, I wanted nothing more than to showcase what I could do, so I recently picked up Cheryl as a client and future competitor. Being that she is a thyroid cancer survivor, she had struggled with significant weight loss and gain through the years of recovery and wanted to prove to herself what she could do. “We went down the strenu-

ous road together. Six months later we hit the stage together. I knew she had what it took to place in this show. Her hard work and dedication during prep was unparalleled. Her body was conditioned, her mind was all in, and her confidence shined so brightly.” Cheryl’s husband has always encouraged her to pursue her dreams. “I used to call her little chipmunk because she was a shy timid person,” Mark said. “She was a single mom, raising kids. She said, ‘I’d like to be a firefighter some day, but I don’t know if I could ever do that.’ I said, ‘Sure you could.’ So she went through all the training and became captain and then wanted get into rescue.” Mark admires her drive. “It’s been so cool watching her,” he said. “She was always in good condition but this is a whole other level. She had never been on a stage before, and said, ‘I might be too scared to go out there.’ She was the first person they called out on Friday. Then on Saturday for the final judg-

Game and Fish wants your input PHOENIX – Based on public input received this year, the Arizona Game and Fish Department has developed a firstdraft revision of the hunt guidelines and wants to hear more about how this revision might be improved. The hunt guidelines provide the biological and social parameters used by wildlife managers to formulate the annual hunt recommendations (season structures, season lengths, season dates, permits allocated, etc.). These recommendations result in the hunts in which licensed hunters may participate. While hunting opportunity is important, wildlife is held in the public trust; therefore, using science-based principles to shape the guidelines process remains paramount to ensure healthy, sustainable and diverse wildlife populations in perpetuity. Draft hunt guidelines were made available May 20 on the department’s website at www. azgfd.gov/huntguidelines. Comments on the draft hunt guidelines may be submitted through June 10 by email to azgamebranch@azgfd.gov, or by mail to Hunt Guidelines, Arizona Game and Fish Department, 5000 W. Carefree Highway, Phoenix, AZ 85086. “We all have views on how to improve our hunting opportunities,” said Amber Munig, big game management supervisor.

“Please take a moment to provide your ideas, concerns or observations on how to meet the many demands of our varied hunting public. Fostering new ideas and opportunities is key to continuing our hunting heritage for future generations. “With comments running from one end of the spectrum to the other, the department attempts to balance the hunting opportunity and experience, while maintaining healthy and sustainable game populations. This is your opportunity to get involved in this bi-annual process.” The department will host 10 public meetings throughout the state to present the draft hunt guidelines, answer questions, and collect further public input. The draft hunt guidelines, public meeting input and all public comments will be shared with the Arizona Game and Fish Commission at its next meeting June 12-13 in Payson. Final proposed hunt guidelines then will be prepared and posted on the department’s website prior to being presented to the Commission at its Sept. 4-5 meeting in Springerville. Among the public meetings is one scheduled for 6-8 p.m. on June 8 at the Payson Public Library, 328 N. McLane Road. For a copy of the current hunt guidelines, details about the guidelines review process, and meeting addresses, visit www. azgfd.gov/huntguidelines.

Softball honors cap great season for Horns From page 1B were honorable mention. Like Payson, Show Low also had five players make the first team, although at only five positions.

PMGA holds 4-Man Best Ball The five-man team of Jessie Smith, Dave Rutter, Jim Dalgleish, Troy Neal and John Rikala fired a 182 score to win the Payson Men’s Golf Association’s 4-Man Best Ball Count 3 Scores Tournament on May 20 at Payson Golf Course. Tim Hughes, Don Pollock, Gary Vaplon, Alex Armenta and Dennis Schwebs finished second five strokes back at 187. Mike Anderson, Jerry McGuire, Dan Dorough and Don Castleman placed third with 195.

ing, she didn’t even expect to place and she ended up with two trophies.” After her success in her first competition, Cheryl plans to hit the stage again. “There’s another national qualifier in Mesa in July,” she said. “Janell goes to Vegas for Nationals in July because she took first in the figure Novice category. I was on stage with my trophy and watching her and she did the whole beauty thing, it was awesome, she worked really hard for that, she deserved it, she just goes and goes and goes.” “It is a focus for me and she’s pro driven right now. She wants to make it as a pro in this and I’m still feeling the waters. This is pretty cool. I’m going to see where this goes. “She’s at a different level. I’ve got my full-time job and the kids and it’s different.”
