Wildfires still growing Fires top 10,000 acres, but now helping forest by

The Juniper Fire near Young grew to more than 6,620 acres over the weekend, casting a pass of smoke over Rim Country.

Some 358 firefighters continued to monitor and direct the blaze, relying on five aircraft, a masticator, three dozers and 15 engines with five Hotshot crews to make sure the low-intensity ground fire remained within a boundary of some 80,000 acres.

Meanwhile, the 3,708-acre Pivot Rock Fire north of Pine also sent a thick column of smoke into the sky throughout the holiday weekend. The Pivot Rock Fire is burning 3.25 miles northeast of the intersections

of SR 87 and SR 260, about eight miles northeast of Pine. About 65 firefighters manned the line, mostly establishing fire breaks to limit the ultimate spread of the fire, which is currently burning through the understory and doing far more good than harm to the ecosystem, according to a Forest Service news release.

Meanwhile, the Forest Service struggles to cope with a host of abandoned campfires, any one of which could start a blaze that would overwhelm the already heavily taxed firefighting resources. On Saturday, rangers in the Coconino National Forest responded to 42 abandoned campfires. Last year throughout the three-day weekend, they found 600 abandoned fires.

The Forest Service on Monday issued a plea to departing campers to make sure they thoroughly douse their fires and not leave the campsite until the ashes are cool to the touch.

Fatal crash snarls traffic Roadside fires, collisions mar holiday weekend by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

A fatal crash and bumper-to-bumper crowds snarled traffic throughout Memorial Day weekend.

At 2 a.m. Saturday, there was a two-vehicle fatal collision on SR 260 eastbound at milepost 355. A 2002 Ford SUV was eastbound when, for an unknown reason, the vehicle crossed the center median and into oncoming traffic colliding with a 2002 Chevrolet pickup.

The driver of the Ford SUV, Danielle S. Endfield, 27, of Pinetop, died on scene. The male driver of the truck was taken to Summit Regional Medical Center in Show Low for treatment.

On Monday, there was a small brush fire on State

Route 87 at milepost 226, 10 miles south of SR 188.

Also on Monday, an older model Terry Taurus travel trailer caught fire as it was being pulled up Oxbow Hill to Payson at milepost 245. Payson Fire sent an engine and water tender and extinguished the fully involved trailer. No one was injured.

Heavy traffic caused significant slowing Monday afternoon between Kohl’s Ranch and Star Valley on SR 260, the Arizona Department of Transportation reported.

Police Chief Don Engler said the traffic signal at 260 and 87 went out briefly and that caused significant delays in town, but local crews had the signal back working within 15 minutes.

South of town, at Roosevelt Lake, the Gila County Sheriff’s Office responded to a number of calls, including disturbances at Bermuda Flats, a popular place for RV camping along the shores. Lt. Tim Scott said most of the

Mudder mostly breaks even

Many a tear welled up when the Voci Choir group sang “Lean On Me” at the 2016 Payson High School graduation — for the song captured the essence of the teacher-student relationship.

For 12 years — teachers have served as the guide rope along which students climb toward graduation. Those teachers show up every year at graduation in their black robes and bright smiles, watching the wobbly, uncertain children they’ve coached and mentored and propped up for four years, heading out into the great, wide world. Those teachers helped wipe away tears of defeat and confusion. They dusted off failures and inspired continued success. They opened doors of understanding.

A just-released report from the Gila County Sheriff’s Office reveals a strange tale of two guards and their decision to take on “jail wives” at the Globe jail that ultimately cost them their jobs.

In March, detention officers Cody Trotter, 26, and Samantha Trimble, 23, were fired from their posts at the Globe jail and promptly booked into the facility after it came to light both were allegedly having intimate relationships with inmates and smuggling contraband in for them, according to an internal report

by Det. Danny Rice with the Gila County Narcotics Task Force.

A female inmate blew the lid on the detention officers’ trysts in early March. She told Lt. Christine

Duarte that she and other inmates were tired of Trotter and Trimble having inappropriate relations with other female inmates. She said Trotter would sneak back into the female dorm at night after he got off his shift.

When Trotter would get off his shift in the male part of the jail, he would allegedly go to his vehicle, change clothes and then Trimble would let him into the female dorm. Trotter would then stay in the female dorm until 1 a.m. or 2 a.m.

Investigators listened to recorded phone calls between Trotter and Trimble making the arrangements. In other calls, they discuss their jail wives.

All of the phone calls within the jail are recorded, which staff is aware of.

In another call, the two guards discuss how they can

Jailhouse trysts prompt two firings From page 1A keep other inmates quiet about the relationship. Trimble tells Trotter not to worry about one inmate because she has already agreed not to say anything as long “as they keep taking care of her and keep doing what they are doing,” Rice wrote.

When Rice questioned two inmates about what they know about Trotter’s and Trimble’s actions, they said the guards take their “wives” into the darkened sally port out of view of the surveillance cameras.

When Rice questioned Trotter about his “wife,” Trotter denied any involvement, calling a relationship with her “nasty.” He insisted the phone calls were just a joke.

Trotter later admitted he had kissed the inmate, but denied any sexual intercourse.

He said they had written each other and he had brought her in cigarettes.

“I asked Cody if it was alright to have romantic relationships with inmates while they are in custody in the jail, Cody said ‘no’ and admitted that he knew he was not

allowed to do that,” Rice wrote.

When Rice questioned Trimble about her involvement with a female inmate, she too initially denied any wrongdoing. She eventually admitted she started a relationship with the inmate three weeks ago and they had gone into the sally port several times. She also denied having sexual intercourse with the inmate.

Trimble said she knew it was wrong.

Both inmates denied any relationship with the guards.

Trotter and Trimble were arrested on charges of unlawful sexual conduct in a correctional facility and promoting prison contraband.

In a strange twist, Rice also investigated claims Trotter wanted to hire a hit man to kill a former inmate.

Trotter reportedly approached a male inmate and handed him a scrap of paper with his cellphone number and the description of a woman Trotter was looking for.

The inmate said Trotter approached him and asked if he had any connections in New

Mexico. The inmate said he had a cousin.

Trotter reportedly told the inmate he was looking for a former inmate for whom he’d rented a car, but she’d failed to return it.

He said he needed someone to “take care of her.”

An undercover officer then called Trotter posing as the inmate’s cousin.

Trotter asked the man to help him locate a stolen vehicle, but “never asks or states that he wants anyone killed for money, Trotter only says that he is looking for a car that was stolen from him and is willing to pay money to someone to get it back for him,” Rice wrote.

When Rice questioned Trotter about the call, Trotter said he had gotten a rental car for a former inmate so she could get back home to New Mexico, but she had never returned the car. He denied wanting to get the woman killed. Trotter was never charged with anything in this matter.

Trotter had worked in the jail for seven months and Trimble had been employed for less than three months.

MEMORIAL DAY

Photos by Peter Aleshire/Roundup

Memorial Day evokes memories by

Peter Aleshire

roundup editor

Gila County Sheriff’s Deputy Matt Binney spoke carefully, precisely, with pride and pain contending for control. Hundreds of hushed listeners gathered for Memorial Day services at the War Memorial in Green Valley Park on Monday morning and bore witness to his testimony, on a sun-dappled day.

Binney carefully recounted the operation in Afghanistan when his life was saved by the sacrifice of Master Sergeant Tom Maholic, who he thinks of on every Memorial Day — and on most of the days in between.

Binney led one of three Special Forces squads charged with taking a Talibancontrolled village and finding a key insurgent leader. The village fell quickly — too quickly.

As the three squads moved in, a fierce counterattack unfolded from prepared positions.

Binney’s squad was pinned down by a machine gun position and subject to repeated assaults.

Maholic’s squad had a clear line of retreat in the face of overwhelming enemy force. But Maholic would not retreat. Instead, his squad

drew fire on themselves — determined to save Binney’s pinned down unit.

“I don’t have any doubt that if Sgt. Maholic had retreated, we would have been overwhelmed. I would not be alive today,” said Binney, choosing each word carefully.

Instead, Binney was severely wounded. He was later saved by a medic who shed his body armor so he could crawl across open ground under enemy fire to reach Binney’s position.

But Sgt. Maholic was killed, directing his team in a successful effort to save Binney’s squad.

The audience listened in absolute silence, in the heartbreaking sunlight as the flags fluttered in a warm wind. The hundreds of people gathered on the emerald green lawn of Green Valley Park included many veterans, many lost in their own silent memories — the tears sometimes glistening. Binney stood in front of the war memorial with the names of Arizona dead graven in bronze behind.

And while the hoards of campers and splashers and barbecuers wrapped up a perfect three-day weekend all across Rim Country, these few hundred gathered to bear

witness.

Binney said when he first came back from Afghanistan, he could scarcely bear Memorial Day — in part because of the heedless happiness of everyone else, savoring the long weekend. None of them knew how Sgt. Tom Maholic died. They seemed curiously unconnected to the more than 1 million who have died in America’s wars.

But now he just smiles, for you cannot always make sense of the world — nor explain what you have seen. So he savors the sunlight and the breeze and the way children run across the aching green lawn, where the flag rustles and flaps.

Those who had gathered, smiled also — through their tears.

They stood when he had finished.

Then he went back to duty patrolling the streets of Rim Country, knowing at least these few hundred will remember Special Forces Sgt. Tom Maholic, who gave his life not so much for his country as for his comrades, who will never cease from remembering, who will never miss a Memorial Day, draped with sunlight and memory.

Includes both combat and non-combat)

Fires continue to burn through Rim Country From page 1A went into making sure the Juniper Fire didn’t get out of control. Smoke from the fire and the movement of crews and equipment intermittently closed Highway 288 leading to Young. SR 288 will be closed overnight between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m., and there may be delays of up to three hours during daylight hours. The other boundary roads are open, though some areas may be smoky.

The area along Cherry Creek down to Roosevelt Lake bore the brunt of the smoke, but the smear of hazy smoke dominated skies all across Rim Country as the fire continued to burn slowly through grass, brush and debris on the ground.

Crews hope to contain the fire and protect structures, but otherwise let the blaze burn during still relatively mild conditions so it will thin undergrowth and reduce the chance of a truly damaging crown fire during the hot, dry months.

The Forest Service enforced a closure area east of State Route 288 from Forest Road 202 south to the junction with Forest Road 203 and then west to Forest Road 203 and back up to State Route 288.

Weekend crashes From page 1A details on the calls were still being processed.

There were multiple calls throughout the weekend for reports of gunfire around the lake.

It appears in only one case were there any arrests. That was near Windy Hill. No one was injured, said Scott.

On Saturday, at 4:30 p.m., a man driving down SR 188, between the Roosevelt Lake bridge and Vineyard Point, reported a boat on fire. When deputies arrived, the people on the boat had bailed out. The boat was fully involved in flames. One person was burned and treated for injuries. The boat was later towed to the GCSO dock.

Also on the water, a jet ski driver was cited for reckless driving after crashing into another jet ski. No word on injuries.

The fire has mostly claimed brush and saplings, restoring nutrients to the soil and consuming deadwood.

Hot, fierce crown fires not only kill almost all the trees, they can sterilize the soil and make it hard for the soil to absorb water.

Even if crews wanted to stop the fire, they’d have to struggle in the steep, rugged,

inaccessible terrain in which it’s mostly burning.

Meanwhile, crews also continued to monitor and direct two lightning-caused wildfires near Flagstaff.

The Cowboy Fire hit 2,139 acres on Monday.

The Mormon Fire grew to 2,167 acres.

Pine Strawberry Fire District responded to 15 emergencies over the three-day holiday. That’s about one-fourth of its normal monthly average. Because of the increase in visitors, a sixth firefighter was added and “the extra member was certainly needed for the weekend,” said P-S Fire Chief Gary Morris. On Saturday, there were five emergencies, including a vehicle crash on the Control

Road. On Sunday, there were six calls. At 2:40 p.m., there were a series of medical responses including to the waterfall at Fossil Creek.

A male fell 40 feet down a slope after he left the trail and walked out to a point above the creek.

The ground gave way and he fell over the cliff, fracturing his ankle.

A DPS helicopter airlifted the man out using a long line rope with the man in a litter. The man was flown to a Flagstaff hospital. The P-S crew returned to Strawberry at 1:30 a.m. — a 10-hour rescue event.

Also on Saturday, the Coconino Sheriff’s Office requested P-S Fire’s help after a man crashed his quad on the Rim Road/Forest Service 300. The Blue Ridge Fire District did not have an ambulance available. A Native Air helicopter transported the man to a Scottsdale trauma center with fractured ribs and multiple fractures of his pelvis.

Finally, on Monday, there were four calls. One was for a rider thrown from her horse.

Simultaneous with that emergency, crews were dispatched to a report of smoke in the forest south of Pine at 10:30 a.m. The fire crew found a small blaze that started from an abandoned campfire.

They initiated clearing a fire line until Tonto Forest crews arrived.

Supervisor candidate decries ‘illegals’ Woody Cline faces off against Kenny Evans for crucial seat Peter Aleshire

roundup editor

Payson Mayor Kenny Evans will face off against Young rancher Woody Cline for the Republican nomination to try to unseat District 3 Gila County Supervisor John Marcanti, running as a Democrat.

Cline made a presentation last week to the Payson Tea Party, with Evans listening politely in the audience.

The election will likely prove one of the most crucial local contests in Rim Country this year.

If either Cline or Evans manages to unseat the Globe-based incumbent, it would shift the balance of power from the south to the north.

The bustling mining districts in Globe and Miami have long dominated the county’s politics, with a stranglehold on most elective offices — especially the board of supervisors. However, the 2010 redistricting showed north county not only pays most of the taxes, but now has about 53 percent of the population. The county has most of its facilities and spends most of its money in south county. However, District 3 is now a swing district, centered on the Tonto Basin and sending tendrils into both north and south county.

That makes the District 3 election crucial.

Evans spoke only briefly at the Tea Party meeting, promising he and Cline would demonstrate Republicans could manage to have an issues-oriented, friendly campaign lacking in personal attacks.

“Woody and I will show you it’s possible to be competitors without being vicious name callers. With two Republicans on the same page, what you’ll see is us getting our message out there.

This district starts in Kearny, goes to the edge of Show Low then all the way over to Cibecue and Carrizo springs. It includes portions of the White Mountain, San Carlos and Tonto Apache reservations.”

Cline, a longtime rancher near Young, has recently gotten politically involved in fighting against the release of Mexican Grey Wolves in Gila County — particularly near Young, site of the infamous Pleasant Valley War more than a century ago.

He got off to a bit of a rocky start during the informal, question-and-answer session, with some odd statements about Syrian refugees.

At one point, he said the federal government had settled 12,000 Syrian refugees in Arizona. He also wondered whether an influx of refugees had something to do with a big, pre-fab building going up near the county offices in Globe.

However, 12,000 is roughly the number of Syrian refugees so far accepted nationally.

Media reports from the Arizona Republic and elsewhere put the number in Arizona at several hundred a year.

One audience member quickly pointed out that the unsightly pre-fab building under construction in Globe is actually a new set of county office buildings.

Otherwise, Cline offered strong support for the mining, grazing and timber industries.

“I’m for timber harvesting and cattle — the one thing we haven’t done in this county for a long time is cut timber,” he said.

He also offered criticism of the U.S. Forest Service’s decision to let some fires burn when weather conditions permit. The Forest Service hopes such low-intensity burns will clear out brush, small trees and downed wood, which

would prevent a wildfire during the hot, dry months of the year from climbing up into the lower branches of the trees and starting a much more devastating crown fire.

In an apparent reference to the 2,500-acre Juniper Fire burning near Pine, Cline said crews plan to let the fire burn within a roughly 80,000 acre area.

“I’m totally against that. I’m against a lot of things in the woods, but I’m totally against that” because it would burn too much timber.

He blamed environmentalists for the demise of the timber industry, saying they hamstrung loggers and ranchers by filing lawsuits on behalf of endangered species.

“There are a lot of threatened and endangered species that are out there — that’s where the environmentalists have us over the barrel — any time we want to do a project, blade a road, they file a lawsuit. They’re backed by a lot of money — but I’m hoping after this next election that will all change. The county needs to play a bigger role in working on all that. By saying that, anytime there’s a logging sale that’s proposed — we’ve got to be part of that decision-making.”

When one audience member suggested undocumented workers were doing a lot of the thin-

ning work under Forest Service contract, Cline agreed.

“I agree with everything (Republican Presidential candidate Donald) Trump is saying about the wall (on the border with Mexico) and everything else.

It (illegal immigration) has in fact taken a lot of jobs away. Most of them don’t care to go ahead and file for the green cards. There are some that do. And it’s hard for them to get it done. I hope that Trump will kind of help speed that along. Also, our illegals, it’s hard for us taxpayers to keep them on the rolls with welfare programs and everything else. I know it’s a huge, huge issue — but there has to be ways to help improve that.”

He suggested that contracts to clear brush from forests would provide a perfect way to put young people to work.

“We need to take a bigger interest in our young people — a lot of them just roaming around not doing a whole lot of anything.

Drug issues are the number one cause of a lot of this — even in these kids not wanting to work and everything else. I could hope there would be a way, whether it’s me or Kenny sitting there, that would be worked on to try to reduce the drug problem we have and get these young people working. I see a lot of these people just going plumb downhill.”

PAYSON ROUNDUP

What are your rights in a skilled nursing facility?

Rim Country Health As a resident of a skilled nursing facility (SNF) such as Rim Country Health and Rehabilitation, you have certain rights and protections under federal and state law that help ensure you get the care and services you need.

They can vary by state.

The SNF must provide you with a written description of your legal rights.

Keep the information you get about your rights, admission and transfer policies, and any other information you get from the SNF in case you need to look at them later.

As a person with Medicare, you have certain guaranteed rights and protections. In addition, federal law specifies that SNF residents also have these rights: from

Freedom from discrimination

SNFs don’t have to accept all applicants, but they must comply with Civil Rights laws that don’t allow discrimination based on race, color, national origin, disability, age, or religion under certain conditions. If you believe you’ve been discriminated against, contact the Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights.

Respect

You have the right to be treated with dignity and respect. As long as it fits your care plan, you have the right to make your own schedule, including when you go to bed, rise in the morning, and eat your meals, you have the right to choose the activities in which you want to participate. At Rim Country

Health we treat all residents as if they are family.

Freedom from restraints

Physical restraints are any manual method or physical or mechanical device, material or equipment attached to or near your body so that you can’t remove the restraint easily. Physical restraints prevent freedom of movement or normal access to one’s own body.

A chemical restraint is a drug that’s used for discipline or convenience and isn’t needed to treat your medical symptoms.

It’s against the law for a SNF to use physical or chemical restraints, unless it’s necessary to treat your medical symptoms.

Restraints may not be used to punish or for the convenience of the SNF staff.

You have the right to refuse restraint use except if you’re at risk of harming yourself or others.

Information on services and fees

You must be informed in writing about services and fees before you move into the SNF. The SNF can’t require a minimum entrance fee as a condition of residence.

Money

You have the right to manage your own money or choose someone you trust to do this for you.

If you ask the SNF to manage your personal funds, you must sign a written statement that allows the SNF to do this for you. However, the SNF must allow you access to your bank accounts, cash and other financial records. The SNF must place your money (over $50) in an account that provides interest, and they must give you quarterly statements.

The SNF must protect your funds from any loss by buying a bond or providing other similar protections.

Privacy, property, living arrangements

Metro Creative Services photo

Skilled nursing facility patients have the right to be informed about their medical condition and treatment and may refuse medications and treatments. They also have a right to participate in creating their plan of care.

You have the right to privacy, and to keep and use your personal belongings and property as long as they don’t interfere with the rights, health or safety of others.

SNF staff should never open your mail unless you allow it.

You have the right to use a phone and talk privately.

The SNF must protect your property from theft. This may include a safe in the facility or cabinets with locked doors in resident rooms.

If you and your spouse live in the same SNF, you’re entitled to share a room (if you both agree to do so).

At Rim Country Health we encourage our residents to decorate their rooms any way they prefer.

The Centers for Disease Control reports that between 1997 and 2007, incidences of food allergies have increased in children by 18 percent. Now, one in every 20 kids has food allergies. Hospital admissions due to severe allergic reactions, or anaphylaxis, have doubled in the last decade.

But then again, so does my youngest daughter. However, I suspect she just doesn’t like them.

The upshot is, I’ve started to ask my guests beforehand what foods to avoid.

So far, so good: No fatalities.

Suggestions to caterers (or hostesses) for serving acceptable foods (from www.Allergy UK.org) • Pay attention to questions about food allergies.

• Talk about it with the guest and

find out if cross contamination poses a problem.

• Let the allergic person or caterer check food labels and speak to the chef themselves.

• Let the person bring their own pan or utensils to reduce the risks of cross contamination.

• Give the person dignity and respect.

• Learn all you can about food allergy, which will help both of you.

• Do not offer to cater/cook for the

person if you cannot do so safely.

• Ask suppliers to provide accurate written details about all ingredients.

• Avoid the indiscriminate use of nuts, e.g. powdered nuts as a garnish, unless this is an essential part of the recipe.

• If possible, keep certain preparation areas designated as nut free.

• Put up a prominent sign or a note on the menu encouraging people with allergies to question staff.

While enjoying the outdoors, be sure to always practice sun safety When the weather is warm, many people take time to relax at the beach or poolside. While such relaxation can provide a welcome break from busy schedules, it’s important that men, women and children prioritize protecting their skin when spending time in the sun.

According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, basal cell carcinoma, or BCC, is the most common form of skin cancer. The American Cancer Society notes that each year there are more new cases of skin cancer in the United

States than the combined incidences of cancers of the breast, prostate, lung and colon. Despite that prevalence, many people still engage in risky behaviors in the name of outdoor enjoyment. Being safe in the sun won’t take anything away from enjoyable outdoor activities, but exercising such caution will help summer revelers reduce their risk for skin cancer and other conditions.

• Know the risks of UV exposure.

Sunlight is needed to engage vitamin D production in the body, but too much sun exposure can do more harm than

good. Ultraviolet, or UV, rays from the sun and other sources, such as tanning beds, are the primary cause of skin cancer. Exposure also can lead to sunburns, premature aging/wrinkling and eye damage.

• Use only broad-spectrum SPF sunscreen. Look for a sunblock product that boasts an SPF of at least 30. The FDA requires any sunscreen with an SPF below 15 to carry a warning that it only protects against sunburn, not skin cancer or skin aging. Find a sunscreen that works against UVA and UVB rays

as well. UVA rays are mostly responsible for contributing to skin cancer and premature aging. Reapply frequently, especially when swimming or engaging in activities that cause sweating.

• Know the difference between water-resistant and waterproof sunscreens. Manufacturers are no longer allowed to claim that their sunscreens are waterproof or sweatproof. A sunscreen may be able to repel water for a short time, but it should be reapplied when leaving the water or when spending long stretches in the water.

• Cover up whenever possible. It may seem counterintuitive in hot weather, but covering up can be beneficial to the skin and actually keep a person cooler. Wear wide-brimmed hats, longsleeve tops and light-colored pants.

Some materials are made with reflective properties, while others actually boast their own SPF. Summer fun does not need to be threatened by overexposure to the sun.

By exercising caution, everyone can spend quality time in the great outdoors all summer long.

Dan Reid’s 27-year career earns Hall of Fame status He could ‘win Kentucky Derby with a Clydesdale’ by

Max Foster

special to the roundup

Dan Reid could win the Kentucky Derby with a Clydesdale.

That’s the reputation he built during the 27 years he coached the Payson High track and field team.

The lavish praise is a stretch, of course, but the former Longhorn coach — who was inducted into the school’s first-ever Hall of Fame last week — had a knack for turning out thoroughbreds skilled enough to run with the big dogs.

“I’m lucky, I had some really great athletes,” said Reid who was thrilled with his selection to the hall.

“I am extremely honored to be inducted into the inaugural Hall of Fame class at Payson High School. It is an honor that I gladly share with the athletes and parents of this community. The athletes’ willingness to work hard to become the best they could be and the support of their parents at all levels of their development was exceptional.”

Some of Reid’s coaching success can be attributed to the creative training methods he employed to insure his track athletes excelled. His cutting-edge techniques are now mostly proven methods used by high school coaches around the country.

Reid also used those techniques during his assistant coaching stints on the PHS varsity football teams, including the 1986 squad that advanced to the state championship before falling 7-0 to

Get a taste of home in Sedona Gerardo’s Italian grill expands, but says he’s not leaving Payson by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

Gerardo Moceri says he can’t escape the rumor that he’s leaving Payson.

“I hear it all over,” he said.

It makes sense, as he has opened a restaurant in Sedona and his youngest child graduated from Payson High School on Friday night.

But Gerardo said he’s too invested in Payson to leave.

He opened the Sedona location because, well, he’d like to avoid the empty nest syndrome.

“It’s just an expansion,” he said.

Moceri also has excellent staff at both locations that channel his style of cooking and commitment to fresh, good Italian food made from scratch.

“I have a boy here (in Payson), he is from Columbia.

He’s a great kid — James Torregrosa,” said Gerardo. “He does a great job, very creative.

He’s worked in some of the best restaurants.”

Moceri isn’t kidding. At a recent visit to Gerardo’s Firewood Café, the appetizer special for the night, strips of calamari in a caper white wine sauce, was too good to not soak up every drop with homemade bread.

The chef won’t lie, however, that opening up a restaurant in Sedona hasn’t been fun because it has.

“We’re one of the few places that has a bar on the patio,” he said. “We have a huge herb garden. We have pinot noir grapes and we pruned them and fixed them. We fixed them up pretty nice.”

He has pictures on his phone that he’s as proud of as he is of his kids.

Just like at the Payson restaurant, Moceri has students from the Payson High culinary arts program working for him in both

locations.

“It’s always been about the kids,” he said.

Moceri loves taking young talent and mentoring them in the restaurant business.

In Sedona, Moceri has brought back his Payson students who went on to study at the Northern Arizona University hospitality program or Yavapai Community college.

“Brain Jones went through culinary arts. Denver Johnson, too and he went to the Wales culinary university,” said Moceri.

“It’s unbelievable to cook with kids who moved or maybe moved go to NAU. If you are a good chef, it is about mentoring.”

In Sedona, he said it’s fun for these kids to push the envelope a bit in a different market.

Yet Moceri said he gives Payson residents who visit his Sedona location special treatment.

“People from Payson have gone there and let us know. We give 15 percent off — a little extra incentive,” he said.

When asked about specifics on the differences between the two locations, Moceri said the smaller percentage of fastfood restaurants and the focus on a healthy outdoor lifestyle in Sedona makes for a clientele more interested in fresh food.

“Why am I competing with fast food?” he said of Payson.

Yet Moceri will always have Payson in his heart.

At the Sedona location, he had Payson people make his tables and sign.

He just plans on making both locations work, even if it’s the first time he’s owned more than one restaurant.

“I’ve never owned two restaurants,” he said. “The challenge is going back and forth…(but) we’re making it work (with) a lot of patience from my family.”

He just wants to make sure Payson people know he has no

THE NICE GUYS:

Poor Boy’s G H S

GENERAL & HANDYMAN SERVICES

Perfect mix of comedy & action Hooray, we get a comedy that actually has some great laugh lines and in a semi-action movie at that. In this romp, A private detective teams up with a thug, a professional bone breaker, to save the life of an endangered young woman.

Ryan Gosling plays the lazy, shiftless, alcoholic P.I. and has most of the best lines. He can also handle physical comedy. The theater Andy McKinney literally rang with laughter on more than one Movie Reviewer occasion.

Russell Crowe plays the bone breaker, a low-life bad man who hurts people for a living. He says that it is just business for him, but we know he likes his work.

The money shot in the film for me lasts about 10 seconds while Crowe contemplates his personal moral void. He expresses a complicated set of emotions with his facial muscles in a bit of acting that rises to brilliance. Bravo Mr. Crowe.

We have the gift of a string of fine actors in backup positions to grace the film as well. Kim Basinger plays a duplicitous, even evil, federal prosecutor. Her cosmetic work accentuates the cold and harsh role she plays. Matt Bomer, star of the long-running TV show “White Collar,” plays a very convincing, bad badie.

A young Australian actress with the intriguing name of Angourie Rice plays the P.I.’s too-grown-up-for-13 daughter. She shows great promise as an actress and already has a dozen TV and other small roles to her credit. She is a genuine actress and not just a child delivering lines.

Gil Gerard, an old vet who we remember best from his starring role as “Buck Rogers in the 25th Century” ages ago, has a small role. The spectacularly beautiful Murielle Telio has only a single line, but you will remember her.

Writer/director Shane Black has the credit or blame for this movie. In this case, he has the credit. He has written a complex, convoluted tale of dirty deeds done with violence. He also put in a lot of very clever, funny stuff to keep us laughing along the way.

He has a writing partner in Anthony Bagarozzi, who scores big in his first time up as a scriptwriter. Shane Black has a strong sheet as a director. He directed “Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang,” a somewhat similar action/comedy and also the clever and exciting “Iron Man 3” among others. His career as a writer goes all the way back to the 1987 “Lethal Weapon” and includes “The Long Kiss Goodnight” as well as “Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang.” You can sense his style in writing from his past work.

So we have good writing, good direction and exceptional jobs by the two leading men. Rotten Tomatoes gave it a very strong endorsement, as do I, with a big four saw blades. It did however come in at number four on the opening Friday. The producers might have trouble clawing back their $50 million budget in good time in this season crowded with gigantic summer movies. Be warned, this one hour and 56 minute long movie does carry a very strong “R” designation. Besides language and murder the makers see fit to show lots of different women in states of partial undress. Lots and lots of women.

Fun fact - The movie was set in LA but filmed largely in Georgia. The Peach State has a very positive tax situation for film making. We often see that films are made at least partially there, which is done not for artistic reasons, but for the tax advantages.

PAYSON ROUNDUP

A DAY IN THE LIFE

section

B

May 31, 2016

Photo class captures the ebb and flow of Rim Country

On Wednesday, April 20, of this year, 17 photographers — students and aides of Nick Berezenko’s photography and Photoshop classes at Gila Community College — set out to photograph “A Day in the Life of Payson.”

The rules were simple: all photographs had to be shot in the 24 hours of that day. (In fact, the very first picture was taken two minutes after midnight. The last at 10:26 p.m.)

And the assignment was to visually capture the essence of Payson. To record what it was like to be living here on that day. This would include the physical setting, the sunrise and sunset, the noon hour, etc. and all the activities of its inhabitants throughout the day.

How they work, and how they eat, and how they play. Otherwise, each student was free to shoot who and what they liked.

“I think they did remarkably well,” said Berezenko. “They produced so many great shots of incredible variety that it was hard to narrow it down to the 220 that were finally chosen for display.

“And they accomplished something much more,” added Berezenko. “In the shots that they took, and how they took them, they show us the soul of Payson: how people here help each other, how many things there are to do in this town, and how lucky we all are to live here.”

The Roundup is publishing a selection of these shots here, but to view a slideshow of all 220 pictures of “A Day in the Life of Payson” go to payson.com. Follow the path of these gifted photographers from dawn to deep in the night in the next four pages of our presentation of the Day in the Life of Payson. Then see more on our website at payson.com.

Participating photographers included Alice Wrobley, Carolyn Davis, Cheryl Kuhl, Craig Miller, Greg McKelvey, Harold Rush, Jaime Jauregui, Lisa Dunagan, Lita Nicholson, Nick Berezenko, Nicole Reynolds, Patti Keyworth, Patty Hunt, Sallie Loman, Susan Baker-Ory, Wally Duncan and William Houdeck.
