Rumor mill gets it wrong Dunkin’ Donuts, 5 Guys on track Alexis Bechman/Roundup

Town officials say new projects still on track despite rumors around town.

Despite the pictures of donuts going up in the windows, the Payson rumor mill ran rampant last week — buzzing with claims that the new Dunkin’ Donuts was not opening. Town Manager LaRon Garrett and Economic Development Specialist Bobby Davis said they both heard from multiple people that Dunkin’ and its shopping center neighbor Five Guys had backed out of the new shopping center at East Bonita Street and State Route 87. However, both Dunkin’ and Five Guys are

still opening, both men confirmed, with Dunkin’ set to open Wednesday. Crews were busy setting up tables in the Dunkin’ space Monday afternoon and finishing up last-minute construction work, like hanging the sign over the drive-thru. One resident said he had heard from his mail lady that Five Guys was definitely not coming. Joshua Simon, president of SimonCRE, which owns the property, said that is not true and Five Guys planned to begin work within the next 30 days.

Probation for stalking, harassing Brace for the MONSOON by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

A Pine-Strawberry man who admitted stalking his ex-girlfriend, placing recording devices in her home and a tracking device on her vehicle, was sentenced Monday to probation. Tanner Shane Ralls, 46, will serve 24 months of probation for aggravated harassment and possession of drug paraphernalia, both undesignated felonies. Ralls admitted to stalking the woman, saying he would text her more than 100 times a day and had placed audio “... he could not let recording devices in bathroom to catch his ex-girlfriend go her her lying and cheating and had messaged on him. Ralls said he had her up to 100 times dated the woman a day to find out for three years and what was going even proposed to her. However, she suddenon between them. ly stopped communiHe said he knew it cating with him and was crazy.” blocked his calls. He said he did not know why she had ended the relationship. Looking for an explanation, he took the “extreme” step of planting audio devices in her home and a tracking device on her car, according to a pre-sentence report. In July 2015, Payson Police arrested Ralls. Ralls told officer Justin Deaton he could not let his ex go and knew what he had done was wrong, but still needed her to tell him it was over. The 46-year-old woman told officers she had ended things, but Ralls continued to text and email her repeatedly, according to a police report. The woman took out an order of protection against Ralls on June 22, but he continued to send her messages from a false number. The woman first notified police of the harassment on June 24 after she found a small tracking device attached to her rear bumper. Ralls reportedly admitted in an email to the woman that he had placed the device on her car and that he wanted the device back. She later called police several more times to report Ralls’ strange behavior, saying she felt scared and threatened. Deaton, along with officer Garth Linkey, met with the woman several times and had her forward text messages and emails from Ralls. From the messages he sent the woman, Ralls appeared to know her whereabouts, Deaton wrote. Before the order of protection, Ralls told the woman he did not appreciate her talking behind his back. When she asked what he was talking

A surprise awaited the audience of the last Payson High School concert — an original concert band piece composed by junior Colin Nossek. His piece “Footprints” swelled and dipped into melodic tales that brought goosebumps and tears to many in the audience and inspired everyone to jump up as soon as the music stopped to give him a standing ovation. Nossek spoke movingly of the support he received from his fellow band members as he continued to modify the composition. Many have played with him since elementary school. His talent blossomed this year, but he has played around with writing songs for a long time. “I enjoyed writing songs when I was little,” he said. See Student, page 7A

Work is finally underway to straighten out and widen North Manzanita Drive. On May 31, crews began work on the narrow, bumpy road behind Big Lots. In the next 90 days, they will widen 1,500 feet of the road, add curbs on both sides, gutters and a sidewalk on the west side. Last year, a developer paid to extend East Malibu Drive through to a new roundabout. Afterward, the town vowed to fix up Manzanita Drive, which was badly in disrepair. The town is paying for the improvements using money from the Gila County transportation tax. The project is budgeted to cost $450,000 to fix the road, going from East Evergreen Street to the back of the Big Lots shopping center. J&L Contracting should have the project done in the next three months, said LaRon Garrett, town manager. Because the roadway is being torn up, utilities companies are taking the opportunity to replace lines. The water company is installing a new water line, Suddenlink is burying a cable and the gas company is replacing a line in the area. For years, the town has scheduled to fix the roadway, but had to keep pushing plans back because for lack of money, Garrett said. Last year, the town resumed road maintenance after voters approved a half-cent transportation excise tax. The town hasn’t done slurry seal maintenance on local streets for eight years, although such maintenance extends the life

The county is now sharing money from the sales tax with Payson and Star Valley, which allowed Payson to start sealing roads again. The town also set aside a big chunk of the $600,000 to repair Manzanita Drive. Previously, the county used all the money for its own road building needs. New park parking lot

County Supervisor John Marcanti. “I really care about the town,” said Hughes, who moved here 32 years ago as a young father with three kids. He now has nine grandchildren, three of them in high school here. He worked as a builder and contractor during much of that time, but now works as a Realtor. Ironically, he works out of the same office as Craig Swartwood, a former two-term mayor who’s also now running for Payson mayor. Swartwood has been critical of an aborted effort to locate a charter school on land purchased for a possible university in Payson, as well as the lack of development in the past eight years and the way in which Payson negotiated and extended a 50-year contract to provide water to the town’s two country clubs. Continue policies

Hughes said he’s running to continue the policies that have brought the town through hard times and provided steady leadership, without the dramatic shifts in policies of years past. “We have a really good group of elected officials right now. But beyond that, we’ve come through a difficult time in the last eight years. Personally — and as a town — we’ve worked really hard to survive and come back and we’re starting to thrive a little bit more.” He said the Great Recession cut the town’s general fund revenues by about 50 percent, but the town managed to maintain 90 percent of the public services. During much of that time, Hughes directed the town’s budget committee — which most years had to weigh painful cuts. Town employees went years without a raise and Payson all but skipped a full, seven-year round of routine street maintenance. But now the town has started on the long-delayed rebuild of Manzanita with money from a voter-approved sales tax for roads and resumed a near-nor-

mal street maintenance schedule. This year the state has restored the gas tax money it had previously diverted to the state Department of Public Safety. No detailed plans

Hughes offered no detailed plans for future growth and development, didn’t mention the proposed university and offered a platform that stressed continuity and keeping things running rather than any bold proposals. For instance, he noted that a difficult decision to spend $500,000 in a tight budget on lighting for the baseball fields at Rumsey Park led to landing a grant from the Arizona Diamondbacks to improve the fields and put in scoreboards. “For several years, we had million-dollar-plus deficits. Last year, we had a little bit of extra money. And sometimes that’s tougher than being a million dollars in the hole and all you can say is ‘no.’ It’s tough when you’ve been hungry so long and you really want a steak — but all you can afford is hamburger.” Most of the questions during the session focused on issues relating to water. One person wondered how the country clubs and the community garden can afford all the water they use, when the town’s water rates have risen to the point where he can’t afford to water his backyard garden. The town raised water rates significantly as part of the effort to build the $50 million C.C. Cragin pipeline, which will increase the town’s long-term water supply from about 1,800 acre-feet to 5,800 acre-feet. Town officials spent 20 years

lobbying for a share of the water from the reservoir atop the Rim. Town officials at one time said impact fees on new development would pay for the pipeline. Instead, construction collapsed just as the town obtained the water right. As a result, the town raised water rates by about 35 percent overall to generate the revenue needed to obtain loans to build the pipeline. Hughes said the country clubs paid some $750,000 to build a miles-long water line to carry untreated reservoir water once it arrives, in the meantime they can use treated well water. The town gave the country clubs a long-term contract for water several years ago. The country clubs get a low, bulk water rate and are currently using treated drinking water to supplement treated wastewater the golf courses buy from the Northern Gila County Sanitary District. Delivery of the C.C. Cragin water is running several years behind the original schedule, so the golf courses continue to use drinking water. Country club water deal

Hughes said the deal with the country clubs serves the town’s interest, since the building collapse has left the town with more than enough water for now — and a huge increase in its supply on the way. “Payson is in a very unique position right now. What people are going to have to understand is that when the C.C. Cragin water starts flowing, we have to protect that water right every six years,” which means putting the whole 3,000 acre-feet to “beneficial use.” Currently, the town uses about 1,800 acrefeet annually, all of it from its groundwater wells. Hughes said the town could lose rights to some of the 3,000 acre-feet if it can’t put the water to use. “We’re going to be one of a handful of communities that will have an assured water supply through buildout (a population of 38,000). That is a huge, huge asset to all of you living here.” Another audience member interjected, “to use up that 3,000 acre feet, recharging the wells will take up a big chunk of that.” Hughes agreed that putting water back into the water table will help provide that beneficial use necessary to protect Payson’s water right. “That’s

finished up work on a new parking lot north of Green Valley Park. The old town lot was reworked to allow for parking vehicles. Crews recently added a soil stabilizer, essentially a glue, to the soil to help with erosion and cut down on dust. Garrett said they hope to pave the parking lot in the next year or so, or before the glue wears away. He said it is an environmentally safe product and a standard application used around the state.

another reason we have a water agreement with the golf courses. The line will come around the treatment plant, so we won’t have drinking water being watered on the golf course. It’s a rolling deal.” Another audience member quipped, “If you can’t use up the 3,000 acre-feet, let’s just have a Big Splash water slide in the park.” Hughes said, “Our water table here will probably come back up close to where it was 50 or 60 years ago, a lot of the springs we’ve seen run are going to start coming back up again.” That prompted another quip. “Then won’t the EPA come in and take over?” in reference to a controversy about Environmental Protection Agency rules that would extend federal regulation to tributaries of streams, even those dry most of the year. “We’ll save that fight for another day,” deadpanned Hughes. Water department loan

Another audience member questioned Hughes about $1 million the town borrowed from the water department enterprise fund several years ago to get through the collapse of revenues during the recession. The water department had amassed a $13 million fund from impact fees and other sources. The questioner said, “I hear stories of $13 million water fund that Payson borrowed from and never paid back. Right here in this room there are people who have heard about it.” “I was one of the ones who did that,” said Hughes. “It wasn’t $13 million. It was $1 million we borrowed one time. We were looking at either borrowing that money or having major layoffs. We paid double the interest we could have gotten from the bank. We’ve been making that interest payment — $17,000 a year. This year in the budget we were going to put $100,000 back — our first principal payment. But we ended up making a half payment — $50,000.” Hughes said the town has opted to set water rates so that the water department pays for itself — compared to many other cities that use general fund revenue to keep water rates lower. “Even so, we’re not that expensive compared to some areas. Go to Prescott, go to Prescott Valley — they have huge water challenges right now. They would pay dearly for what we got for free.”

‘What says the doctor to my water?’ - from Henry VI Proactive tips for Men’s Health Week by

Carol Baxter

special for mha foundation

You have the oil changed in your car periodically if you want it to purr up and down the Beeline. You schedule or let the virus software on your computer scan and eject unwanted code. But maybe you put off scheduling that check-up with your doctor because: a) You feel fine. b) You don’t really feel fine, but operate under the, “Hey! Maybe It Will Go Away” theory. c) You would have to dig out your medication list, pick up the phone, and then give up a couple hours when you could be tinkering with something instead of turning and coughing. Guys! Dudes! Men! You only get one body. No trade-ins. No returns. Regular check-ups and age-appropriate screenings are a responsibility of ownership, especially but not only if you are a member of a high-risk group or have a family history of disease, because they can improve your health and reduce the risk of premature disability or death. Being aware and proactive can mean the difference between health and heartache, and in the case of high blood pressure you can take the heartache literally. Hypertension has no symptoms but can cause permanent damage to body organs. Physicians have been diagnosing disease based on urine for 6,000 years. Cultural proof of its centrality to medicine during the Middle Ages shows up when Shakespeare’s Henry IV character Falstaff asks his physician, “What says the doctor to my water?” Nowadays, urinalysis may be used to screen for and/or help diagnose conditions such as urinary tract infections, kidney disorders, liver problems, diabetes or other metabolic conditions. Hemoccult, PSA blood tests, rectal exams, and colorectal scope tests and screenings are often ordered by physicians at age-appropriate times to determine the health of the prostate and colon. These are important tests as colon and rectum cancer are the second leading causes of cancer deaths and 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in the U.S. June 13-20 happens to be Men’s Health Week as decreed by the Federal government with a purpose of height-

ening awareness of preventable health problems by encouraging early detection and treatment. Really, that decree is beside the point. Your health effects how you work and play with every beat of your heart and every brain synapse that fires. Life expectancy for an American man in 1920 was 53.6 years, in 2013 it was 76.4 years. Exercising your mind and body, eating whole foods, and doing monthly self-exams are all ways you take charge of your health and make those 23 or even more years of life as enjoyable as possible. The human brain is wired to figure out things whether it is a puzzle, a game, or engaging in a friendly debate. Exercise releases endorphins that give the brain positive feelings and even alleviate depression. The body is meant to move and let’s face it, the Rim Country is walking and hiking and biking country, but if the great outdoors is not your style there are several gyms to meet your needs. Strength training/ weight lifting burns calories and give your metabolism a spike that lasts for about an hour post-workout while cardio training will give you a caloric burn and regular cardio activity squashes stress. While we are on the subject of squash (it is summer after all), this is a reminder to eat your vegetables. Summer squash is a source of Vitamin A and C, magnesium, fiber, folate, riboflavin, phosphorus, potassium and Vitamin B6. It is high in manganese, a mineral which helps the body process fats, carbohydrates, and glucose. Whole, fresh, unprocessed foods are good for the body because they are nutrient dense. One small lifestyle change you can make is to add one fruit and one vegetable to every meal.

Genetics surely have a foundational role in your health, but strides in modern medicine and increased awareness of the impact of exercise and food on the body mean the individual has more than a little control.

Benefits of exercise change with age FLAGSTAFF — For older adults, a 30-minute workout may not be as effective at the cellular level as it is for younger people. According to a new study, age may play a significant role in a cell’s ability to respond to that activity. Tinna Traustadóttir of Northern Arizona University led the study, which was published in Free Radical Biology and Medicine, a journal of the Society for Redox Biology and Medicine. In the study, a group of men ages 18 to 30 were tested against a group of men 55 years and older. Study participants were generally healthy, non-smokers, who were not taking antioxidant supplements in excess of a multivitamin, or any non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for two weeks leading up to the experiment. The two groups cycled for 30-minutes, with blood being drawn six different times measuring cell function and antioxidant response. For this study, the exercise intensity was relative to the individual’s age and maximal aerobic capacity determined during a screening. “Through this study we were able to determine that an individual’s antioxidant response to exercise becomes suppressed with age,” said

Traustadóttir, an associate professor of biology. “Exercise is effective and critical for people of all ages, but this study shows that older adults do not achieve the same beneficial cellular responses as younger adults from a single bout of moderate exercise.” The findings indicate a single session of submaximal aerobic exercise is sufficient to activate an important group of antioxidant genes at the whole cell level in both young and older adults. However, nuclear import of Nrf2, the regulator for this group of antioxidant genes, is impaired with aging. Nuclear import is required for Nrf2 to access the antioxidant gene targets. Together these data demonstrate for the first time the weakening of Nrf2 activity in response to exercise in older adults. Traustadóttir’s ongoing research aims to identify molecular processes responsible for age-related cellular changes. By better understanding the molecular signals promoting beneficial effects of exercise, definitive recommendations could be made for improving the body’s reaction to oxidative stress, which could lower the risk for many chronic diseases.

made many of the foods we eat soft, sweet and lacking nutrients. Oregano speaks for itself with no apology, just like Trainor who has no apologies about telling a guy “No.” “My name is no My sign is no My number is no You need to let it go...” In Europe, where history credits its first use, oregano means “mountain joy” in Greek. In fact, the Greeks and Romans so adored the herb that brides and grooms wore crowns of oregano at their weddings. The herb has been used for centuries in teas to help with stomach upset or topically in an ointment to help respiratory illness or nervous disorders. Recently, the University of Arizona discovered that the chemical carvacrol in oregano can kill the norovirus — the nasty virus that causes food poisoning on cruise ships and other institutions. U of A found that the chemical carvacrol does a better job at eradicating the norovirus than bleach, hydrogen peroxide, ammonia and alcohol. How? Carvacrol breaks down the tough outer coat of the virus. Now that’s tough. Just like I imagine Trainor against an unwanted pass by a guy at a bar. Makes me smile. Other ingredients in oregano, Vitamins A, C, E, and K, fiber, foliate; iron, magnesium, vitamin B6, calcium and potassium help to make the herb an antioxidant extraordinaire that boosts the immune system. Oregano oil also has anti-inflammatory properties and may even kill the terrifying MRSA hospital super bug, according to research done by British and Indian scientists. This herb is unapologetic, spicy, authentic and one tough plant that hasn’t been mucked with to lose its nutritious powerful effects.

Evans stumps for supervisor seat Stresses north-south equity and economic development by

Peter Aleshire

roundup editor

Payson Mayor Kenny Evans wants to jump ship for a seat on the Gila County Board of Supervisors to focus on economic development for the entire county. “We need a mindset change,” Evans told the Payson Tea Party last week in his first appearance in his bid for the seat now held by incumbent Supervisor John Mercanti, a Globe businessman. “We need to develop a community attitude where every member of the community is focused on educating our young people, developing the resources we have so those resource revenues will produce jobs. We need to open that door and allow entrepreneurs to come into this economy and develop the economy in the south as well as in the north.” Evans faces Young rancher Woody Cline in the August Republican primary. The winner in that contest will then face Mercanti in the November general election. The seat stretches from Globe to Payson and holds the balance of power between heavily Democratic south county and heavily Republican north county. Historically, Globe has held two of the three seats on the board of supervisors. Although north county pays two-thirds of the property and sales taxes and has about 53 percent of the population, the county spends most of its money and has built most of its facilities in the south end of the county. Evans has served four terms as mayor of Payson, much of it dominated by the impact of the Great Recession on town finances and the long-suffering effort to build a university campus in Payson. Arizona State University this week in executive session briefed the Arizona Board of Regents on the negotiations to operate a campus here. Evans said Gila County remains rich in resources and draws millions of visitors, but remains afflicted by high unemployment, low incomes, limited education and a host of other problems. “Which county has greatest reserve of mining? Gila County,” he told the intent gathering of about 50 people at the Tea Party meeting. “Which county has the best recreation opportunities? Gila. The most hiking trails? Gila. You can talk about rec-

reation, grazing, timber — Gila County is resource rich — but for decades we’ve been at the very bottom of any number of demographic comparisons: Worst health care, highest unemployed. “That points me to the conclusion that our county government has been a bit stagnant. This county has had a long history of being bipolar (between north and south) — what I would suggest is there are solutions that would help us solve that problem. Those solutions don’t involve taking money from the north and shipping it to the south. What I want is an aggressive and robust economic development program that helps the south be self-sustaining so they don’t need the money from the north being spent in the south.” Evans has been involved in the effort to build support for the Resolution Copper Mine, a plan to operate one of the world’s largest mines deep underground near Superior. He led the Payson Town Council to support the project and had talks with Resolution Copper and the University of Arizona to consider putting a school of robotics mining on the site for the university complex he’s been pushing to build in Payson.

“I want an aggressive and robust economic development program that helps the south be self-sustaining...” Kenny Evans

That history could build support for his candidacy in the south, but could also cause difficulties with the tribal governments of the three reservations with land in the district, including the White Mountain, San Carlos and Tonto Apache. The San Carlos Apache Tribe, in particular, has strongly opposed the Resolution Copper Mine on the grounds it could affect Oak Flats, an area considered sacred where traditional medicine men still gather plants for ceremonies. After Evans’ brief opening statement, he spent about 40 minutes fielding questions from the attentive and generally well-informed audience. One audience member asked about the Arizona Department of Transportation’s recent project to try to improve the flow of traffic through the Highway 260-87 inter-

change in the middle of Payson. “The town had worked really hard with ADOT to make that intersection better. But they brought in a fourth or fifth level engineer who said, ah, we’ll just pour some concrete. It’s had a debilitating effect on Carl’s Jr. — at the same time it’s not helping control traffic. It’s making traffic worse. We need to go back about 3/8 of a mile south where Burger King is and add a lane — so there are two lanes that can turn east and a third lane that can turn to the east in that middle lane — cut that triangle down so you can turn into the Bashas’ shopping center. People come around that corner in the far right lane with two lanes to cross to go into Bashas’ — it’s a horrible design.” Another audience member said Payson seems to attract mostly fast food restaurants offering minimum wage jobs. Evans replied, “We’ve got the biggest lakes, biggest mines, biggest forests and we’re poor boys. We need to figure out a plan to capture those dollars here. Recruit businesses that cater to people who use the forest. We also recruited a company called Evans Alloy, which will provide 15 or 16 high-paying jobs that will ultimately transition in to 74 jobs. Key is to balance that growth. We’ve got 40,000 cars and 120,000 people coming through here on the weekend — we’ve got to figure out a way to get hold of a little bit of their money and allow the money to rollover in the community.” Another question centered on the often-paltry benefits for local communities generated by mines on public lands extracting billions of dollars in minerals. When copper prices plunged, the state gave the mines big tax breaks — but never reversed the practice when copper values climbed. Evans agreed. “When the price of copper went up, did they offer to pay extra? Of course not. We need to be able to plan for the future, but to do that effectively we have to recognize how we got to where we are. We have to look at the history of what we charge corporations. There are multiple ways to skin that copper mine. Figure out a fair and equitable way so that when they’re making a lot of money we have revenues coming in. Drive through Kearny, it’s a beautiful area — but its’ more like Detroit than it is like Boulder, Colorado because of what we’ve done. We ripped and stripped away the asset value and left them with what’s left. We need to think about expanding that base — help people find something else besides just mining dollars — and figure out a fair and equitable way to share in that prosperity when those mines are generating billions of dollars.”

The Heart 6 Ranch was allowed to continue the conditional use permit it was granted back in January by the Star Valley Town Council. The restrictions limiting the number of horses and mandating cleanup still apply. Roundup file photos

Star Valley horse facility has use permit continued by

Teresa McQuerrey

roundup staff writer

The Star Valley Town Council voted to continue the conditional use permit it gave the Heart 6 Ranch back in January at its June 7 meeting. The ranch owners had met the restrictions they given by the council in order to operate with a conditional use permit. The owners were instructed to reduce the number of horses on the property to 12 and clean up the piles of manure in order to have a CUP continued. The ranch at different points reportedly had between two dozen and 30 rescued and boarded horses on a property that was a little more than three acres in size and carried transitional residential zoning, which allows no horses, according to the town’s code. Heart 6 Ranch sought the conditional use permit to make it possible to keep horses and operate a business offering a free riding program supported by a horse boarding operation. While the CUP remains in force, the zoning regulations have not changed and the operators will still be restricted to 12 horses and required to mitigate the problem with flies and odor associated with the waste produced. The extra number of horses were moved to accommodations in Cochise County, according to correspondence with the town from the owners’ attorney, David Rubin.

Prison for scuffle, forged check Thanks to a parking lot scuffle and a forged check, Payson resident Bernadette Ramirez, 51, will spend the next 24 months in prison. Ramirez pleaded guilty to two, concurrent, two-year prison terms. In addition, Mercedes Ramirez received a sentence of 24 months on probation, for her role in a confrontation in a parking lot that resulted in attempted robbery charges. Superior Court Judge Tim Wright accept-

ed the plea bargains on charges of attempted aggravated robbery and forgery for Bernadette and facilitation to commit aggravated robbery for Mercedes. Prosecutor Robert Swinford said that on March 9, 2015, Payson Police officers responded to a reported assault and found the reported victim walking to her vehicle. The woman said Bernadette Ramirez and Mercedes Ramirez had charged at her while accusing her of previously calling the police

on them. The two then grabbed the victim’s arm and demanded she give them her purse. After a struggle, the victim broke free and fled into her residence. Both Bernadette Ramirez and Mercedes Ramirez then fled the scene. In Bernadette Ramirez’s second case, on Jan. 13, 2016, she was arrested after an investigation revealed she previously used a forged check to purchase items at the Radio Shack in Payson.

Davis said the construction crew currently working inside Dunkin’ would shift to Five Guys once they finished at the donut shop. He said Five Guys had paid its water impact fees so it was highly unlikely they were not coming, despite the word on the street. Crews recently finished up outside work on the new 5,000-square-foot, three-suite plaza. Dunkin’ will occupy the southernmost suite, with Five Guys on the north end. In the center, an undisclosed tenant will occupy the 1,000-squarefoot space. Simon said he could not disclose who that retailer is yet. In Tonto Basin, SimonCRE also owns the property where a new Dollar General store is being built. Simon said construction is wrapping up on the 9,100-squarefoot store, at the corner of Tonto Creek Trail, south of the Tonto Basin Chamber of Commerce and Tonto Creek Trail RV Park. In Payson, crews are also busy putting up a Culver’s Restaurant, at 805 E. Highway 260, in the former location of Pirate’s Hideaway. Davis said it is scheduled to be open by Sept. 17.

Student concert composition wins rave reviews From page 1A Then two summers ago, “pretty much out of boredom,” Nossek found free composition software. Fascinated, he struggled to understand how to blend the woodwinds, brass and percussion into a harmonious whole. He learned to write for the high, middle and low. “Do I want this to be woodwinds or brass dominated?” he said. “For me it’s easier to start with a shorter bit of instruments.” But what does it take to get the hairs to stand up on the arms of an audience? Nossek is humble about it. “I will sit at the computer and throw notes at the screen,” he said. “Generally, what happens is I will craft a melody that best fits the emotion I am trying to convey.” So, how does he infuse music

with emotion? “It’s really difficult to explain,” he said. “I’m working on a piece that is a celebratory and happy piece of music. I am looking for chords that are happy and joyous ... it’s basically I’m trying to

Man harasses woman From page 1A about, he hung up and forwarded her an audio recording of her talking to her sister on the phone. The woman realized she had made that call while in the bathroom, according to the report. Ralls reportedly admitted to the woman he had placed a listening device in both of her bathrooms so he could “catch her in lies.” Another time, he emailed her and told her he would turn himself in for putting the tracking device on her vehicle. On July 9, PPD officers went to Ralls’ home in the P-S area where Ralls met them at the gate. Deaton found two pieces of foil in Ralls’ pockets, which appeared to contain methamphetamine. While at the jail, Ralls told

Deaton he could not let his ex-girlfriend go and had messaged her up to 100 times a day to find out what was going on between them. He said he knew it was crazy and had even searched about his behavior on the Internet and “Google even said he was crazy for doing what he was doing,” Deaton wrote. “He stated he just needed (name redacted) to tell him that it was over. I advised him that it was very clear to me that it was over from the order of protection and her asking him several times to leave her alone.” Ralls told a probation officer that an employee had offered him meth as Ralls was experiencing personal difficulties. Since his arrest, Ralls began attending domestic violence classes and has not contacted the woman.

either paint a picture or write a story with music.” Nossek said he spends hours at the piano trying chords until one gives him the feeling he’s seeking. “I started in fourth grade at PES with Mr. Buskirk and Mr. Potvin,” said Nossek. “We started with a band of 20 people ... I’m

certainly very thankful to (them) for getting me into music.” But Nossek’s family also got him into music. “Everyone in our family plays some sort of instrument,” said Nossek, “violin, piano, guitar, saxophone, clarinet or piano.” His dad, although a physical therapist, actually has a band with fellow medical professionals. Nossek said his dad’s band will play one of the Payson summer concert series. The young composer hopes to write music for a living, as his idol, Eric Whitacre does. Whitacre has won a Grammy for both his original and popular music. He conducts sold-out concerts and worked with Hollywood composer Hans Zimmer, and pop stars Imogen Heap, Laura Mvula and Annie Lennox. But after listening to Nossek’s composition, it doesn’t seem like a far off dream. The Roundup has a video of Nossek’s song on the website.

Fires Still Burning

Photo courtesy of the U.S. Forest Service

The 30,631-acre Juniper Fire (above), the 4,087-acre Tenderfoot Fire (right) and the 32,500-acre Jack Fire (far right and bottom) all calmed down over the weekend due to cool, wet weather. But firefighters expect the return of “critical” fire conditions this week. From page 1A humidity with its chance of thundershowers. The weather service forecast calls for “near critical” fire conditions starting on Wednesday, with humidity below 10 percent and an excessive heat watch in effect over much of the state. Conditions will likely cool on Friday, before warming up again on Saturday and Sunday. All of Northern Arizona will face dangerous fire conditions, including the potential for “plume-dominated” fires. In such conditions, the heat rising from a fire essentially creates its own weather — sucking in air and creating winds like the bellows of a forge. Such conditions led to the deaths of firefighters in the Dude Fire 26 years ago and in the Yarnell Hill Fire three years ago. The Arizona Department of Transportation this week also issued a warning to drivers concerning the onset of monsoon conditions, when prevailing winds shift to bring warm, moist air into the state from the south. This eventually triggers the onset of conditions that typically bring half the region’s annual rainfall. However, the early monsoon conditions often bring unstable conditions with dry lightning storms, which spark fires with lightning strikes without delivering the moisture that would dampen those fires. Almost all of the worst fires in the state take place under those conditions — including the Wallow and RodeoChediski — the two biggest fires in state history. ADOT said monsoon conditions in the lower elevations can generate dangerous dust storms reducing visibility on highways to a few feet. In such a dust storm,

ADOT urged drivers to pull over out of traffic, put on their hazard lights and wait for the storm to ease. The cool temperatures over the weekend with a trace of rain in many areas gave firefighters a chance to make progress on containing a host of fires burning throughout the state. An evacuation order was lifted in Yarnell, which had been menaced by the Tenderfoot Fire. Some 320 firefighters battling the 4,087-acre blaze on Monday had it 40 percent contained as the fire burned to the north, away from the subdivision nearly destroyed three years ago by a fire that killed 19 Prescott firefighters. Fire managers have used backfires to contain and direct the fire, which currently poses no dangers to structures. The 30,631-acre Juniper Fire still burning near Young remains the state’s biggest fire so far this season. Some 280 firefighters have used backfires to herd the fire toward previous burn areas and away from Young. The strategy calls for keeping the fire contained on the east side of Highway 288, which reopened to traffic over the weekend. Firefighters continue to set backfires to keep the fire from getting out of control this week as hot, dry winds return to plague firefighting efforts. “Fire will continue to slowly creep on the eastern side of the incident toward Cherry Creek,” according to an update by the Forest Service posted on Inciweb on Monday. “Ground crews have completed a fire line leading to a significant reduction of fire behavior on much of the western edge of the fire perimeter. Weather is limiting fire growth at this time. Resource objectives continue to

achieve desired results. Some flooding has occurred in the fire area due to heavy rains. Debris washed onto roads may impact fire management operations.” Fire managers are also optimistic about their ability to control the 32,500-acre Jack Fire, burning south of Flagstaff off Lake Mary Road near Happy Jack. Some 150 firefighters are working to contain that low-intensity fire, burning along the forest floor. Fire managers used air tankers and helicopters to protect “sensitive grazing lands” in the path of the fire. Smoke from that fire has affected a wide area, including portions of Rim Country. Other fires still considered active in Arizona include: • The 3,400-acre Bert Fire in the Kaibab National Forest north of the Grand Canyon. • The 138-acre Reservoir Fire on the shores of the C.C. Cragin Reservoir. • The 172-acre Balke Fire near Alpine in the White Mountains. • The 923-acre 38e Fire

Payson teen punches National Finals Rodeo ticket

Alexis bechman

roundup staff reporter

A Payson teen is headed to the National High School Finals Rodeo after winning the overall average in steer wrestling this weekend. Denton Petersen, 17, who’ll be a senior at Payson High School this fall, will head to Gillette, Wyo. in July to compete, the only Payson athlete that made it to nationals. He has competed in rodeos for the past four years, three of those in steer wrestling. His father Jason Petersen said his son has been practicing at their Star Valley ranch and all that practice paid off. “We are so proud of him,” Jason said. A strong showing in the Arizona High School Rodeo Association State Finals Rodeo last weekend at the Payson Event Center propelled him to a berth in the National Finals Rodeo. Petersen entered the season-ending event in seventh place in the season standings in steer wrestling. The top four in those season point standings qualify for the nationals. He was 12 points behind the fourthplace boy. He showed he was ready to make a big move up the standings by winning the first go round on Thursday. He followed that up by finishing second in the second and third rounds, winning the overall average. Petersen competed against 10 other steer wrestlers over the weekend. He was one of five Rim Country cowboys and cowgirls competing in the AHSRA State Finals Rodeo. That group also included Bryndee Hall, Monty James, Bryce Stodghill and Kara Ward. Complete results were not available at press time. The National High School Finals Rodeo is scheduled for July 17-23. A month earlier, Tonto Basin’s TR Frost qualified for the National Junior High Finals Rodeo in Lebanon, Tenn. in ribbon roping. That event is set for June 19-25.

Chuck Hardt also fondly remembers traveling in the early 1960s with his father and brother to the Los Angeles Coliseum for USA vs. USSR track and field meets. Looking back at his own coaching career, Hardt cherishes many special memories, but none more special, than “Getting to coach my kids (Hunter and Hillary). It was a blessing.” Because coaches and teams in small rural schools, like PHS, spend so much time on the road, Hardt’s wife, Shirley, traveled to away games, “So our family had more time together.” Hardt also relishes the memory of the 1999 girls track team breaking Safford’s long streak of state championships and the 2001 girls’ 3A state championship cross country squad. That win marked the first time in 33 years a non-reservation school

Much of Hardt’s sports success was coaching track and field, but the story of how he became head coach in 1995 obviously will not become a sequel to the movie “Rudy.” “(Former head coach) Dan Reid asked Pete (Greer) and I to come on as assistants in 1993

and two years later, Dan stepped down,” Hardt recalls. “The head job was going to go to either Pete or I, so we decided to flip a coin. I lost and became the head coach.” No matter if it was the flip of the coin that landed Hardt the job; he stayed on as head coach until retiring in 2007.

Most of those years, Greer served as an assistant, specializing in the throws events. Along the way, the two coached some of the school’s finest athletes, sending them to college programs at Arizona State, Colorado State and Northern Arizona. Because of Hardt’s longtime contributions to the program, the Payson Co-ed Invitational was renamed several years ago the Chuck Hardt Co-ed Invitational. At the first-ever Chuck Hardt Invitational, he served as event starter, a job he’d done hundreds of times over the past two decades. Although Hardt said he was flattered the meet was named after him, he insisted there were three other pillars who had helped build the program. Bill Lawson founded the Payson Rotary Invitational more than 40 years ago, Dan Reid coached state championship teams in the late 1980s and early ’90s and Ted Pettet founded the track program at PHS.

Engler pens children’s book for second work The second Payson Book Festival will be July 23 at the GCC Payson campus. We asked Andy McKinney to review works of some of the 70 participating authors. DAISY DOO! DAISY DOO? WHAT? WHO?

by Sherry E. Engler Remember when your kids still wobbled about, unsure of their feet, but anxious to get going? “Daisy Doo! Daisy Doo? What? Who?” has very young ones as its target audience, I’d guess from ages 2 or even before that all the way up to 6 or so. The simple words and repetitions will have THE NATIONALIST AND THE NEWBORN ACROSS 1 Mrs. Alfred Hitchcock 5 Had an expectation 10 “C’est moi,” in English 15 Car financing co., once 19 Malicious 20 Greater than 21 Of film sound effects 22 Quiet stretch 23 Start of a riddle 27 Like potatoes 28 ___ a soul (nobody) 29 Coagulated 30 Similar to 31 Have ___ (know the right person) 32 Online letter 34 Serpent follower 35 Riddle, part 2 41 Wields 42 Kitten sound 43 Flatow or Glass of radio 44 SeaWorld attractions 47 Minivan driver, often 48 Geol., e.g. 50 Smart guy 54 Purview 55 Riddle, part 3 60 Many millennia 61 Thrill rider’s inhalation 62 Thrown object’s path 63 Grafton’s “___ for Evidence” 64 Graph anew 67 Riddle, part 4 71 Jim who played Ernest P.

those in the later years reading along with Mom or Dad before they reach formal schooling. I think they will like it, too. The Daisy Doo of the title does not have a firm grasp on her own identity. She “wiggles” — her form of locomotion — from animal to animal, comparing them to herself. She wants to know who and what she is. She finds a number of familiar animals. She discovers that she has little in common with them, in terms of size, shape and number of legs. She does have a strong and positive self-image. She calls herself a CUTIE BEAUTY. She might not know what species she

belongs to, but she likes herself well enough. For a sense of the fun that reading this book aloud to a child might bring to you, try saying that phrase out loud a few times. Made you smile, didn’t it? Author Engler in this case also serves as illustrator Engler. She drew the pictures of Daisy and the other animals that she encounters. While the book reader speaks to the cuddled child, the wee one can look at the pictures that go with the words, bright and happy pictures with an always-smiling Daisy Doo. Engler will be at the Payson Book Festival.

Payson Roundup SPORTS Tuesday, June 14, 2016

Special Needs Rodeo a hit with area participants Extraordinary memories were made by a group of remarkable young people in Payson last week. A contingent of participants from the Arizona High School Rodeo Association State Finals made it possible for special needs youth and adults to experience the thrill of rodeo. This is the second year a Special Needs Rodeo was part of the AHSRA State Finals at the Payson Event Center. The idea for the project is attributed to AnnDee White, mother of Burley White, secretary for the AHSRA. A young woman with special needs who loved horses inspired her. Burley said last year’s first Special Needs Rodeo changed his life. He and about 30 other young people from the AHSRA worked with their special guests from the Rim Country, Tonto Basin and Globe. They taught them modified roping, (mechanical) bull riding, goat tying and barrel racing. Assisted by the AHSRA volunteers Jake Shaw and Larry Graham never gave up until they roped the practice model steer; Adrianna Barnes and Missy Kane’s faces filled with excitement as they rode the mechanical bull; and Mary Samarripas, who initially only wanted to watch,

jumped in and tried everything. The Special Needs Rodeo even had an announcer and the participants lit up as they heard their names and “blow-by-blow” accounts of their skills broadcast throughout the arena. Another Special Needs Rodeo is already being planned for next year. For details, call Lucy Karrys with the Payson Special Needs Family Support Group at 928-478-0231. Information from Lucy Karrys was used for this article.

Hardt succeeded as a coach in multiple sports From page 1B “There’s a lot of history that might get lost and I don’t want that to happen,” said Hardt. In addition to Hardt’s efforts in track and field, he founded the cross country program in 1992 as an unpaid volunteer coach. “In those days, we had runners I called “Notch Babies” because they didn’t fit in the other programs so they became runners,” he recalls. “To get athletes, I had to recruit from my P.E. classes and the hallways.” Among those former athletes Hardt recalls with great fondness is Clifford Pirch, now a very

successful professional bass fisherman. “He was our first all-star,” Hardt said. In accepting his induction into the PHS Hall of Fame on May 19 in Wilson Dome, Hardt acknowledged he hadn’t been told the names of the committee members who chose him, but was excited to be included. “This is a big honor for me and my family. “I am very grateful to be recognized for the many years working with the youth of our community.” Ted Pettet. R.C. LaHaye, Dennis Pirch and Reid were also inducted into the first-ever PHS Hall of Fame.

The Second Annual Special Needs Rodeo was held during the Arizona High School Rodeo Association State Finals Rodeo at Payson Event Center on Thursday, June 9.
