Ex-Pine water district treasurer indicted Auditor general concludes Mike Greer stole from PSWID, and posse

by

The Arizona State grand jury has indicted former Pine-Strawberry Water Improvement District treasurer and board member Mike Greer on eight felony counts related to charges of conflict-of-interest, theft, fraudulent schemes and forgery in scams totaling more than $100,000.

The Arizona auditor general released a 30-page report on June 30 detailing how Greer stole money from both the water district and the Gila County Sheriff’s Posse while serving as treasurer of both

organizations. The report shows he wove an ever more complicated web of intricate financial transactions to cover his tracks.

The investigation grew out of a series of stories written by then Roundup reporter Max Foster in 2013.

“Our investigation revealed that from April 2011 to February 2013, Mr. Greer illicitly received $65,895 from two (PSWID) district vendors, misused the district credit card to pay $2,299 of his expenses, forged a district letter, misspent $38,706 of posse money for his personal benefit, and presented false posse treasurer’s reports,” wrote the auditor general’s office.

The report concluded PSWID’s lack of oversight and failure to follow policies lay at the heart of the debacle.

“Former Pine-Strawberry Water Improvement District officials failed to properly protect and control district monies entrusted to them by taxpayers,” wrote the auditor general.

“Specifically, former governing board members and the district manager failed to design and implement adequate policies and procedures to safeguard district monies.”

Mike Greer has been indicted on eight felony The Roundup had reported on Greer’s counts for stealing money from the Pine water district and Gila County Sheriff’s Posse.

Valley men arrested for shooting drunk driver Gun-toting pair forces Payson man off the road, shoot him as he flees

by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

Two Valley men are in custody after they shot a drunk driver Monday afternoon north of Payson, claiming they just wanted to keep the man from driving back out onto the highway.

They shot Jesse G. Olsson, 31, of Payson in the chest. On Thursday, he remained hospitalized in stable condition.

Deputies arrested the two Valley men who stopped and then shot him.

Several Payson residents reported seeing Olsson driving erratically up the Beeline Highway, swerving over the line

and nearly hitting one driver head on.

About 2:30 p.m., the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office received word from the Arizona Department of Public Safety that Olsson had been shot on State Route 87, at milepost 278, a mile south of the State Route 260 intersection.

A DPS trooper found the wounded Olsson, while Shane A. Tebo, 38, and Brandon M. Vongthongthip, both of Phoenix, waited nearby.

Detectives learned Tebo and Vongthongthip were traveling north on 87 when they observed what they believed to be a man driving drunk behind them, swerving in and out of the lane.

They called 911 to report the driver.

Tebo, who was driving, then attempted to stop Olsson.

When Olsson drove off the road and into a ditch, Tebo used his vehicle to block Olsson from returning to the road.

Tebo and Vongthongthip both were carrying Glock firearms and ammunition on their belts.

Tebo attempted to take the keys from Olsson’s running vehicle, but he could not get between the vehicles.

Olsson’s vehicle apparently moved forward and Tebo shot several rounds into the engine block trying to stop the car.

The monsoon set in this week, with heavy rain, winds and lightning strikes that made for sometimes dangerous conditions on the fire line — and an unpredictable holiday weekend for visitors.

On Tuesday, winds fanned a seemingly quiet portion of the Cedar Fire near Show Low, forcing six members of a Navajo Hotshot crew to deploy their fire shelters as the fire veered toward them. All managed to get into their shelters as the flames approached. After the fire passed, they walked out. Paramedics rushed them to Summit Healthcare in Show Low, where they were treated and released.

The incident spurred chilling memories of 2013, when 19 Prescott firefighters were killed in their fire shelters when intense flames swept down on them, burning so hot the shelters melted and disintegrated.

The Forest Service set up a serious accident investigation team to figure out how the Navajo crew could have come so close to disaster on the edge of a 47,000-acre fire managers had considered subdued — with little chance of growth.

Elsewhere, the sometimes heavy rainstorms both sparked new fires and doused existing blazes.

The National Weather Service puts the chance of rain at 60 percent Friday and Saturday, but forecasts only a “slight” chance of storms on Sunday. Highs should climb into the upper 80s each day until the clouds roll in during the afternoon. Lows should drop into the low 60s.

On Monday, the Payson forecast calls for

Enjoy a spectacular fireworks display and fun for the whole family on Monday, July 4 at Green Valley Park.

The Town of Payson and this year’s title sponsor AirEvac will kick off the festivities at 8 a.m. Monday with a patriotic ceremony that will include a salute to veterans.

From 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., the town will hold its annual family games in the park, including sack races, egg toss and tug of war. There will also be the annual foot race.

Starting at 4 p.m. and going to 9 p.m., the amphitheater will come alive with live music by the Take Cover Band.

At approximately 9 p.m. one of the most spectacular fireworks shows in Arizona will kick off. Surrounded by Green Valley Park and its three lakes, this venue is a picturesque setting for fireworks. The Northern Gila County Sanitary District and the Town of Payson Water Department are sponsoring the event.

Due to the popularity of the event, free shuttle buses will run from Payson

Microburst blasts Rye by

THE WEATHER Weekend: Mostly sunny with a chance for rain on Saturday; clear heading into 4th of July.

Details, 6A

Photographer DJ Craig last year took this photo of the tug of war during the July 4 family festivities in Green Valley Park, leading up to the fireworks show. For a rundown on the activities see page 5A.

A microburst in Rye Tuesday night flipped a travel trailer and ripped the roof off a home in what residents said felt like a tornado tearing through the community.

Bob Stahl, general manager at Four Seasons Motorsports in Rye, said staff reported to him that the building rattled and shook so violently they felt it would simply blow over.

For about 15 to 20 minutes during the storm’s crescendo, the wind blew so

hard it pushed a 6,000-pound travel trailer over. It hit two ATV trailers and landed upside down. “It was like a big parasail,” he said.

Staff didn’t see the RV tumble because the visibility outside was zero during the storm, but a passing motorist later called Stahl to report the damage.

Across State Route 87, the roof on a two-story home was ripped “clean off,” Stahl said.

The microburst also damaged several fences at Four Seasons Motorsports.

clear skies, a high near 93 and a perfect night for a July 4 fireworks display. In past years, as many as 20,000 people have crowded into Green Valley Park to enjoy the fireworks.

The thunderstorms sent water rushing down Tonto Creek, which jumped up to twice its normal flow for this time of the year. The (4:30 in 3D) Salt River and the Verde River still have just two-thirds of their normal flow, according to the Salt River Project’s daily water report.

SRP continues to pump 31 cubic feet per second out of the C.C. Cragin Reservoir to send down the East Verde River. The reservoir on which Payson’s water future depends has declined to about 51 percent capacity after nearly two months of pumping.

The Tonto National Forest lifted all fire restrictions effective July 2, just in time for the big weekend. However, fireworks always remain illegal in the national forest.

All week, the lightning storms kept firefighters busy chasing new blazes, although the accompanying rain and high humidity

spending $2,299 for personal purchases on the district’s credit card in 2013. Foster filed a Freedom of Information request for the credit card statements. Foster also wrote stories raising questions about a $92,000 contract awarded to a construction company with which Greer was affiliated. The auditor general’s report also validated the claims explored in those stories.

The auditor general’s report detailed how Greer lied for two years to both organizations in order to receive thousands of dollars he then turned to personal use, including work on a vacation home in Mexico.

A complaint filed with the attorney general of Arizona regarding a suspected conflict of interest Greer had with his Hat Creek electric company entering into a contract with PSWID ignited the investigation by the auditor general.

The auditor general discovered that Greer had manufactured a sale of his interest in Hat Creek one day before the $92,395 contract with PSWID. The district divided what amounted to a single contract into five different contracts, apparently to avoid putting contracts worth more than $25,000 out for

before rainstorms snuffed it out.

The Goat Fire 17 miles northeast of Black Canyon City quickly grew to 335 acres in grass and pinyon-juniper.

For now, firefighters are just monitoring the fire — which could force the closure of several Forest Service roads if the rains don’t put it out.

The Basin Fire 19 miles north of Scottsdale grew to five acres before crews contained it.

The 1,000-acre Bug Creek Fire south of Cordes Junction briefly closed northbound I-17 as air tankers swooped in. Traffic shifted to Highway 87 and Highway 260 as the fire advanced through the Agua Fria National Monument, threatening a host of archaeological sites.

The 430-acre Four Peaks Fire and the 31,000-acre Juniper Fire near Young have both subsided, with no growth in the past several days.

competitive bids as required by state law.

Greer said he had divested his interest in Hat Creek, but the auditor general’s investigation showed Greer continued to actively run the company and profit from the contract.

Records show Greer received $52,395 from that contract with PSWID. Greer told PSWID that his time overseeing the installation of 13 generators was “volunteered.”

Next, Greer played an instrumental part in awarding a contract for generator maintenance to From the Start, a company owned by his extended family.

Out of the $21,000 awarded to From the Start, Greer received $13,500.

The owner of From the Start told investigators the money to Greer was “mostly for payment of his personal debt with Mr. Greer and he thought Mr. Greer had the same understanding,” said the report.

As all this went on, Greer was also stealing as much as $38,706 from the Gila County Sheriff’s Posse, which relies on volunteers to conduct rescue operations, according to the report.

The Posse board did not suspect the theft because Greer falsified reports on bank accounts in his reports to the posse. He once said the bank had a balance of $8,265, when it

was actually negative $337.

Greer made only oral reports, but the posse board secretly recorded him and provided the balance totals to the AG for purposes of its investigation.

Greer used the posse money for personal and business expenses, cash withdrawls and a $10,000 vacation home in Mexico.

In order to pay back the money to the posse, Greer forged a letter on PSWID letterhead to a lender as a receipt for a bond loan he took out due to the AG’s investigation.

The AG’s report indicated the PSWID has implemented better controls over money and conflict of interest since 2013.

Only board member Tom Weeks remains from that original board. Back in 2013, he was one of the chief critics of board operations and Greer’s use of the company credit card.

Subsequently, most of the PSWID board members resigned on unrelated matters. The Gila County Board of Supervisors appointed replacements, who have now been elected — resulting in an almost completely new board since 2013.

PSWID also ended its contract with CH2M Hill, a consulting firm that managed the district in 2013. The board has hired a different company as its operations manager.

kept most of the new fires well behaved.

Lightning-caused fires on the Tonto Forest included: The Red Fire: Located on Red Mountain west of Highway 87, and east of Bartlett Lake, the fire grew to 10 acres before firefighters dug a line around it.

The Breadpan Fire 10 miles west of Young grew to 17 acres in a remote area, burning in brush and pinyon-juniper. The fire poses no threat to structures at this time.

The Superstition Fire atop a mesa at the west end of the Superstition Wilderness quickly grew to 520 acres in light grass, before rains set in to douse it.

The Plow Fire 15 miles north of Superior and 12 miles from Roosevelt Dam grew to only about half an acre before hitting rock outcroppings that left it nowhere to go.

The Angel Fire in the Superstition Wilderness near Superior grew to five acres,

Forest Service hopes holiday visitors will ‘Pack It Out’ by

Michele Nelson

roundup

Staff Reporter

The Pack It In, Pack It Out program for July 4th will only have one location for visitors’ trash — the Home Depot parking lot.

The Forest Service will have two, 40-yard dumpsters, donated

by Gila County, to collect trash from visitors to the forest. Locals cannot use the dumpsters to get rid of household trash.

“We’ve never had success at the second location,” said Forest Service Recreation Officer Chelsea Muise.

She said that even during the recent Memorial Day holiday, forest visitors traveling Highway 260 reported they would take their trash to Home Depot anyway.

Muise said there will be a second dumpster manned in partnership with the Whispering Pines

Fire Department in Whispering Pines.

Along with the dumpsters, the Forest Service will be out in force on patrols to educate campers on the availability of the dump site and safe camping practices.

To help with fire education, two fire prevention patrol officers from the Lassen and Boise Forests will aid local Payson personnel.

Muise said, those forests could afford to share personnel because their fire season starts, just as Arizona’s ends.

The Fourth of July Pack It In, Pack It Out program is sponsored by Home Depot, Carl’s Jr., Partners of the Forest, the Town of Payson, the Whispering Pines Fire Department and Gila County.

The Home Depot dump site will be manned on Monday, July 4 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Fire knocks out power in Tonto Basin Residents praise quick response by firefighters and APS by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

A quick moving brush fire burned nearly 60 acres off State Route 188 Monday afternoon, knocking power off for hours to 1,100 residents. Some ended up sleeping outside until Arizona Public Service restored the power.

Investigators consider the fire “human caused” but haven’t released details.

Despite losing power for hours, several Punkin Center residents expressed gratitude to the firefighters and to the APS crews who moved quickly to douse the fire and restore power.

Deborah Miller lives in a fifth wheel in a Punkin Center trailer park. She said after power went out the heat grew so intense most residents opted to sleep outside until 3:30 a.m. when the power came back on.

“I am so appreciative of them,” she said. “I know a lot of people are.”

Miller said it was an awesome sight to see the number of aircraft over the fire.

Brad Johnson, assistant fire management officer with the U.S. Forest Service, said they threw everything they had at the blaze.

Due to the high fire danger in the region, the Forest Service has crews stationed throughout

the forest, ready to go at the hint of a fire.

At the first report on Monday, fire managers immediately sent 10 engines and two Hotshot crews, one of them diverted from the Four Peaks Fire.

When they arrived, firefighters found the fire had rapidly spread to 15 acres. A storm cell north of the area was blowing the fire south. The fire burned up a nearby hill and then subsided, although it still spread down the highway.

“It got pretty big pretty quick,” he said.

Besides ground crews, a helicopter, two heavy air tankers and an air attack plane flew in.

Police closed the highway for about 45 minutes and ADOT crews alternated traffic through one lane.

Three power poles fell to the ground, knocking power out to 1,100 residents.

Firefighters contained the fire by 8 p.m.

Several local firefighters returned home to dark houses and also opted to sleep outside to beat the heat, Johnson said.

Johnson said APS brought in crews from all over the state to get power restored, working through the night to put up four new poles and new wire.

A Payson man upset at how his mother’s boyfriend was treating her, stabbing him multiple times and then beating up his own mother will serve the next 20 years in prison.

Kurt Manning, 43, pleaded guilty to both attempted first-degree murder and aggravated assault.

On June 27, Judge Gary Scales sentenced Manning to 20 years in prison for assaulting his mother and attempting to kill her boyfriend with a knife.

Manning, a five-time convicted felon who has served a prior prison term, violently attacked his mother and her boyfriend on

Feb. 4, according to Chief Deputy Shawn Fuller, who handled the case for the Gila County Attorney’s Office.

On that date, at 6:40 p.m., Manning forced his way into his mother’s home in Payson and attacked her.

After violently assaulting her and kicking her after she fell to the ground, Manning attacked her boyfriend with a knife, stabbing him several times — once in the neck.

After ransacking the house, throwing furniture out of the windows and damaging the interior, Manning fled.

The woman’s boyfriend stumbled to a home on North Gila Drive and asked the resident for help, saying he had been stabbed.

Manning later had a friend drop him off

Fire danger will remain high until monsoon rainstorms bring significant moisture, so the Forest Service will keep extra crews on hand to tackle forest fires.

at the Gila County Sheriff’s Office where he turned himself in.

Manning’s mother suffered numerous injuries to her face and her boyfriend, although seriously injured, survived the vicious attack, Fuller said.

Manning was indicted with six felonies arising from the attack. Manning pleaded guilty with the plea agreement mandating aggravated, consecutive terms in prison totaling 20 years.

Manning’s criminal history includes convictions for disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, DUI, shoplifting, false reporting to law enforcement, assault and misconduct involving weapons, according to online court records.

Talking REAL

ESTATE

By Kimberly Anderson, REALTOR® Advantage Realty

Worth the Price. If you're thinking of selling your home yourself to save the commission, think twice. A good agent will be worth every cent you pay.

Pine Library Book Sale:

Your agent knows how to price your home… Your agent will not only market your home but also take care of details you haven't even thought about. He or she will save you from making some serious mistakes. The first of those mistakes is usually in pricing. When you get that wrong, you may have a few early “lookers” but you probably won’t have offers. Determining the right price on your own can be difficult. That is, unless you pay an appraiser to determine your home’s true market value. If you don't have access to the local Multiple Listing Service, you have no way to know how much comparable homes have been selling for. You may hear gossip about what a neighbor's house sold for - but it may be false information and if it's been more than a month or so since their house sold, things have probably changed. You can also look around and find out the asking price on other homes, but asking and selling are two different things. Unless you've visited the homes yourself, you won't know if they really are comparable to yours. A good agent will prepare a market analysis and show you the price at which your home will most likely sell within a reasonable amount of time.

His or her information will be based on actual selling prices. In addition, the agent may have seen the houses in question. At the very least, they will be able to read the details about those houses in the MLS listings.

Your agent talks to buyers every day and knows what will make your home appeal to them. Next is staging and preparation. You live there, so you may not notice the clutter or the peeling paint on your front door or the smell of the cat’s litter box. A good agent will help you see what you need to do to present your house for greatest appeal.

Your agent knows the laws and has the forms you need. Your agent will introduce you to all the disclosure forms and information you'll need to have ready for buyers. It seems like the list keeps growing on & on.

Your agent knows current State laws and will keep you in compliance.

Your agent can and will market in ways you cannot. Marketing is a big thing - and your agent has far more ways to reach out to buyers than you do. More than 80% of all buyers now begin their search on the Internet. Your agent will make sure that your home shows up on multiple websites – with attractive photos and descriptions that entice buyers to call for an appointment. He or she will also furnish your yard sign, prepare flyers and may even place print ads. Plus, agents have a list of buyers who are looking for homes with certain benefits and features. Agents will show them your house if it looks like a possible match. They will also market to other agents. They will also enter your home on the Multiple Listing Service – where other agents with lists of buyers check every day to find new listings.

Your agent will create a valuable space between you and the buyers… Negotiation begins at the time of showing - and that's one reason why agents ask their sellers to be absent during showings. You can inadvertently say something that weakens your position. But if you don't have an agent, you have to show the house yourself. This is unfortunate from a negotiation standpoint, but even worse, it could keep buyers from staying in the home long enough to take a good look. Buyers are often uncomfortable about sellers watching them checking out closets or turning on faucets to check the water pressure. Most prefer to look when the seller is not there. Negotiation after an offer is also easier when there's an agent involved. Not only will he or she give you advice on how to respond, the presence of an agent gives you time to think about that response. They’ll save you from inappropriately answering a “Would you take…” question. Your experienced agent will help you determine your approximate final proceeds based on the price and the terms presented in an offer. He or she will also go over all the contingencies in an offer and save you from agreeing to something that could harm you.

Your agent will help you get through escrow. Once you have accepted an offer, your agent will work to see that it closes. Working with the other professionals involved, he or she will take care of all the tiny details that can make or break a transaction. There is a long list of things that can go wrong between agreement and closing and a good agent will stay on top of the transaction, solving problems along the way.

roundup staff reporter

The Gila County supervisors approved an $8.1 million capital improvement plan, with 85 percent of the money going to south county.

North county has 52 percent of the population and provides the great majority of the sales and property tax revenue, but historically reaps only a fraction of the benefit from county capital spending.

The board of supervisors, with two of the three members living in Globe, has set its tentative budget for Fiscal Year 201617 at $94, million, including the $8.1 million capital improvement projects. The capital projects include things like buildings, computers, equipment, roads and vehicles.

The $8 million for those projects will come from money carried over from this year, gas taxes from the Highway User Fund Revenue (HURF) and the county’s share of the recently renewed half-cent transportation excise tax.

The Gila County Board of Supervisors reviewed the capital plan at a June 28 work session. The Copper Administration Building in Globe remains the most expensive project, with the 2016-17 budget at $1.1 million — carried forward from the 201516 budget.

The budget also carries forward $35,000 for improvements to the Payson Justice Court, one of the few projects in north county.

The capital budget also includes $900,000 for the first phase of the improvements to the NAPA building in Payson for the Payson Superior Court.

The county plans to spend $7.4 million for the buildings and lands, including a contingency fund of $201,435.

North county projects total $1.2 million, including $193,000 for a permanent records facility and improvements for the Roosevelt substation for the Gila County Sheriff’s Office.

Globe projects total $5.8 million.

The county will also spend $345,991 on computers and upgrades, which benefits the whole county. So does the $239,077 budgeted for office equipment.

The county will also spend $393,000 for new cars, with eight for the sheriff’s office, one for the assessor and two for the planning department.

The county will spend about $2 million on roads and another $807,000 for public works vehicles and equipment.

The county also set up a fiveyear capital plan, said Michael Scannell, deputy county manager. For instance, the staff had suggested making a $250,000 down payment on moving the animal control facility in Globe.

The total project cost will run to $750,000 by 2019-20 At the suggestion of District 3 Supervisor John Marcanti, the supervisors moved the $250,000 into the FY 2016-17 plan to accommodate

advance planning.

Budget forum

The county will hold one more budget hearing for the public on Tuesday, July 26. To look at the

budget in advance of the hearing, stop by District 1 Supervisor Tommie Martin’s office, 610 E. Highway 260, Payson or go online to http://www.gilacountyaz.gov/ documents/finance/docs.

O B I T U A R I E S Harold L. Kelley 1932-2016 While growing up in Virginia and Tennessee working the family tobacco farm, Harold received the moniker of “Smoke” after matches in his pocket sparked and caught his pants on fire. He sat in a trough, dousing the fire, but the nickname stayed with him for life. As he put it, “I was wet behind the ears and too green to burn.” After serving briefly in the Virginia National Guard, at 18, Harold enlisted in the USAF and spent 20 years serving his country.

At 19 he met the love of his life, Betty Thompson, and asked her to wed after only two weeks.

Married soon after, they were dedicated to each other for 60 years.

Harold was an Air Traffic Supervisor at Luke Air Force Base. During this time he also participated in the Luke Aero Club where he put his pilot’s license to good use; flying single-engine planes brought him great joy. After his USAF retirement, “Smoke” began a second career in the heating and cooling field as a parts supervisor for a large HVAC company in Phoenix.

At the age of 50, Betty and “Smoke” began a 10-year love affair with motorcycling. They were members of the Wings of Phoenix motorcycle club and they toured most of the U.S. and parts of Canada on 2 wheels. He often proclaimed that these were the years he and Betty loved most.

Upon full retirement, “Smoke” and Betty moved to Heber/Overgaard, AZ, where

he continued his devotion to service as Commander of the American Legion, Post 86. He also took great pride in becoming a Ham Radio Operator, call sign KC7TWC. In 2011, “Smoke” and Betty moved to Payson, AZ to assist in Betty’s care. Upon her passing, Harold enjoyed Payson and its proximity to family and friends. He resumed his motorcycling love affair on a red Honda Trike conversion, often seen buzzing around town to lunch at various local favorites.

Harold was preceded in death by his wife, Betty, and parents, Harry and Audrey Kelley. He is survived by his son Dave (Linda) Kelley of Chandler, AZ; daughter Joni (Gary) de Szendeffy of Payson; grandchildren David Kelley and Kris Kelley Novoa; and great-grandsons Gavin, Bryce and Sebastian.

Msgt. Harold Kelley will be laid to rest at the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona, with full Military Honors. This honor and celebration of his life will take place among family and friends at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, he wished contributions be made in his name to the Humane Society of Central AZ, 605 W. Wilson Ct., Payson, AZ 85541. The family would like to extend many heart-felt thanks to the amazing caregivers at Hospice Compassus of Payson, Hospice of the Valley in Scottsdale, and the incredible “family” of staff at Powell Place, Payson.

May the (Dry) Force be with you War on water can prove complex by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

Pipe burst?

Smoke and fire damage?

Mold?

There’s a new company in town to help out — Dry Force — available 24/7 to respond to emergencies and assess the damage of these common home crises.

The company has a unique structure. The call center answers calls 24 hours a day, seven days a week, while technicians live and work in the areas Dry Force serves.

This allows the technicians to respond to a call at any time.

In the Rim Country, technician Johnny Frost, a local who grew up in the area whose family has deep roots in the community, has returned from a stint in the Marines and working back east to help those struggling with damage to their homes.

“I go wherever they need a body,” said Frost.

But he’s modest, as he’s much more than just a body.

Every technician that works on a home for Dry Force must go through a certification process that includes a suite of classes and a yearly update on their certificate to keep up with the advances in their business.

Frost said many customers have no idea what Dry Force does, but the number of problems a company like Dry Force solves boggles the mind.

Not only does Frost handle all sort of water damage from an overflowing washing machine to a bat infestation in an attic, but he can help with fire damage and identifying the dangers of mold.

With the bats, he doesn’t

Get free school supplies

Deserving students in Payson will soon benefit from a national backpack giveaway campaign.

TCC, the largest Verizon authorized retailer in the U.S., announced that A Wireless is partnering with the company to donate 235,000 backpacks full of school supplies to children.

The participating TCC store in Payson is located at 401 N. Beeline Highway.

More than 1,300 participating TCC and A Wireless stores are inviting local families and their children to visit these select locations on Saturday, July 30 between noon and 3 p.m. to pick up a backpack filled with various school supplies, including pencils, paper, a pencil box, folders and glue. One backpack per child present will be given away on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last.

In 2015, the National Retail Federation predicted the average person with children in grades K-12 would spend nearly $100 on school supplies such as notebooks, pencils and backpacks.

With more than 16 million children in the U.S. living in poverty, TCC is working to alleviate the rising costs of school supplies.

When faced with a tile floor in the kitchen, Dry Force technician Johnny Frost went downstairs and worked from the bottom up to prevent a leak from a refrigerator ice line from doing permanent damage to the floor. remove them, but he can remove the smell they leave behind.

“We have an ozone machine that sucks out the smell,” he said.

That ozone machine also removes the smoke smell.

At a recent job, Frost helped a family whose ice maker line sprung a leak. They had no idea there was a leak until the room under the kitchen had water drip out of the ceiling.

The challenge in this job? The kitchen had a tile floor. Expensive and difficult to rip up, but Frost is committed to doing the least amount of damage to keep insurance costs and costs to the homeowner as reasonable as possible.

So, at this home, Frost exposed the subfloor under the kitchen tile floor by cutting out part of the drywall in the ceiling under the kitchen floor.

He fashioned a tube out of plastic and had a dryer blow hot, dry air on the water damaged area. Then he placed a dehumidifier in both rooms.

In one day, Frost significantly lowered the amount of water damage.

“When I came in the first day, that floor read at 99 percent moist,” he said. “Overnight, that dropped to 28 percent.

This ability to quickly dry out water damage protects the home from bacteria and mold. Frost said in three days, mold starts to grow. Once that happens, there’s trouble.

“I’ve seen mold growing on both sides of the drywall,” he said, “That has to be ripped out and replaced.”

Frost said its challenging for homeowners to understand that water can do so much damage in such a short amount of time.

But he said drywall is the problem.

“It’s like a sponge,” said Frost.

Yet, in the case of the leaking ice maker line, once Frost dries the damage, the drywall will actually be stronger than when the process started, he said.

Frost has been in the Rim Country since November of 2014.

He said as the company has advertised around the area, he’s seen an uptick in local customers.

“I’ve had a lot more customers in the last year and a half,” he said.

The Dry Force website has lots of information.

“Dry Force specialists remove, decontaminate, dry out, test and verify all damages caused by water remediation in Payson, Arizona,” says the company’s website.

The company said they have the ability determine if any part of the home can be saved — even after fire.

“Dry Force will work to quickly secure your property following a fire and begin the restoration process,” said the company on its website. “In cases where a fire department put out the fire, Dry Force will begin by extracting the leftover water and dry out the remains before beginning the restoration process.”

Dry Force understands when a home emergency occurs homeowners need help to negotiate the complicated world of insurance.

Dry Force works with many of the major insurance companies including, Allstate, American Modern, Ameriprise Financial, QBW (formerly Balboa), Chubb, Encompass, Farmers Insurance, Foremost, Mercury Insurance, MetLife, Nationwide, State Farm, The Hartford, Travelers, USAA, plus more. For more information, call 928-474-4504.

In retrospect, one of Pettet’s greatest contributions to the school district and its all-important extracurricular programs was helping found in 1993 the Mogollon Sporting Association. Since the inception of MSA, it has donated more than $2 million dollars to school programs and wildlife and conservation projects.

During those 24 years, Pettet played a crucial role in ensuring MSA’s donations were spent where most needed, especially in school extracurricular programs.

As an MSA co-founder, the association annually awards four scholarships in Pettet’s name to deserving Payson High School seniors and a few years ago he was a recipient of the MSA’s prestigious Legacy Award.

How’s the weather gonna be tomorrow? Well, the monsoon set-up began mid-week with the high pressure settling in over the Four Corners region. We welcomed the showers this week and

they rarely begin early in the day.

So, my forecast is: “It ain’t gonna rain on our parade!”

Monday another parade crept down Columbine making for some interesting gawking and tense moments. LR’s new

home arrived in the Creek about nine that morning and three that afternoon both halves of his modular were on his lot. Slow progress was necessary in order to lift overhanging utility lines.

Down by the homestead meadow

things ground to a halt as some large limbs required cutting to get the units through the tight curve. Gleeson Movers of Mesa did a commendable job.

A pair of pesky peccaries paraded past my place on Sunday. Yes, two javelina are roaming town once again. We have a report that one of the ornery critters charged a golf cart. Be careful out there, especially when you are walking the dog.

Sunday morning bright and early we were on our way to OW Ranch. Larry had called the day before saying he could use some help with a chore. It’s one of those chores that is required from time to time: turning a cow into meat.

Little Jimmy Almendinger volunteered to go along and help.

It was his first trip to the ranch.

Upon our arrival Patty fixed some breakfast. Then we were at it. We worked in the shade of the machine shed. By 10:30 a.m. we were done and that beef was on the way to Round Valley ... and that’s another week in the Creek.

Keeping fingers crossed monsoon really here Oh my gosh! July already! I have only two (little) green tomatoes in my garden!

How long do I have to wait for a good harvest. If the weather is any indication, the monsoon has started, the humidity is rising as well as the dew point readings.

In fact, KMOG radio announced this morning a 40 percent chance of thunderstorms. Sunday was really a tease with a lot of thunder and a spritz of raindrops.

My garden needs the rain, so I hope the predictions comes true. I do feel a difference in the air, a bit more humidity and a few more creaky bones, so let’s hope Mother Nature sees fit to let the rain come down.

A camp recipe

In most families this is the time for vacations and camping, especially in the Rim Country. There are so many places to choose from, some are paying campgrounds and most are free, the choice is yours according to how many amenities you want.

It’s such a popular way to spend summer vacations, the Hellsgate Fireflies Auxiliary’s cookbook, “Fireflies Can Cook” has a special section devoted to favorite camping recipes. This week, yours truly submitted a fun recipe for the kids called Banana Boats.

Banana Boats 6 bananas

3 chocolate bars, broken in pieces 1-1/2 cups mini-marshmallows peanut butter (optional) heavy duty foil This is as much fun to make as it is to eat. With a sharp knife, cut a slit down the length of the banana, being careful not to cut all the way through. Open up the slit a little and stuff with chocolate pieces and marshmallows (and peanut butter if you’d like). Wrap the banana in foil and place it on your campfire coals.

Watch closely and check often.

Banana Boats are done when chocolate and marshmallow are melted.

Unwrap and dig in (literally!).

Makes 6 servings.

Since this weekend is really a celebration of our independence, liberty and freedom, please observe it by flying the stars and stripes and tell your children what the holiday is really all about. The next generation needs to feel patriotism for their country and part of your job as parents is to teach them to respect their flag and their country. We do have the greatest country in the world!

Happy Fourth of July everyone and have a safe weekend.

after the war was over. A “muleskinner” is the driver of wagon trains who kept the mules moving. [1] Paul soon wound up in Nevada, possibly drawn by the prospect of mining for gold. It was during this period, either in Tennessee or Nevada, that Vogel met a fellow muleskinner named William Craig, who was four years his junior. The two men formed a deep friendship and would become partners for the rest of their lives.

Apparently their prospecting did not keep them in Nevada because by February 1881 we have a record that they were in the Arizona mining camp of Marysville, three miles west of the village that would eventually become the town of Payson. [2] Almost immediately they established a claim and called it the Single Standard Mine. They found investors to the tune of several thousand dollars, but after a lot of hard work the mine simply could not support them and they sold the claim.

Deciding that ranching would be more

viable than mining, they continued to prospect, but looked for a place to stake a homestead. Following Webber Creek, a tributary of the East Verde River, they found the place they wanted to claim.

Vogel recalled how impressed he was with the beautiful fruit orchards he had seen in the south during the war and so he imported the trees from Alabama. By the spring of 1884 they had planted an orchard of more than 1,200 fruit trees.

By the time they finished digging for all those trees they had named their place the Spade Ranch. [3] An important part of their business was drying the fruit to keep it after the harvest. When the peaches, apples, pears and plums were ripe, settlers of the Rim Country enjoyed the fresh fruit. Ranger Fred Croxen called it “the very best orchard in the country.” Local nurse and midwife Theresa Boardman said, “They brought fruit in here (to Payson) for years and years, and supplied the whole country

Summer fishing at Rosie

I crossed paths with a trio of northern Arizona anglers who were filling their truck with gasoline after returning from a fishing trip at Roosevelt Lake.

The three were more than willing to discuss the trip and share reports on fishing conditions that were very similar to what local fishing guru Jim Goughnour penned in his recent Rim Country Fishing Report.

The trio passing through Pine said the extreme heat at Rosie made daytime fishing extremely unpleasant and the bass bite is only fair.

The best strategy, they said was to fish in the early morning hours when the bite was more active.

The heat became so stifling, the fishermen decided to night fish and to take advantage of the full moon.

Most of their fish were caught on Roboworms, Rio Rico topwater baits and Carolina-rigs using larger worms.

Delays continue

Those driving to Payson or farther south might want to plan the trips for Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

On those days, drivers will be able to avoid the traffic delays occurring from milepost 254 to 283 on Beeline Highway (SR 87) due to a tree removal project.

The delays have made traveling to and from Payson a jaunt that sometimes can take up to 50-55 minutes.

When the project is completed, which is expected to be this fall, it will improve driver visibility and reduce hazards to vehicles.

Work will be performed during daylight hours

and there is no holiday work.

Traffic is reduced to one lane during operations and a pilot car escort allows for alternating travel through the work zone.

ADOT is asking drivers to allow extra time for travel, observe reduced speeds in the work zone and be alert of crews and equipment.

PSWID board election in November

An election will be held Nov. 8 to fill the four Pine Strawberry Water Improvement District governing board seats now being held by Larry Bagshaw, Richard James, Trent McNeeley and Paul Randall.

Their terms expire on Dec. 31, 2016.

It is not known which of those board members will run for re-election.

Property owners interested in running for one of the seats may obtain a nomination packet from the PSWID office at 6306 Hardscrabble Road. Office hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Those running must be property owners within the district and registered voters in the state. PSWID officials will not provide information on the nomination or election process, but it may be obtained from the Gila County Department of Elections.

Fire restrictions, on or off?

Will the monsoon rains Pine and Strawberry received this past week be enough moisture to prompt Tonto National Forest officials to rescind the fire restrictions that were imposed last month?

That question has yet to be answered; at press time, the restrictions were still in force.

The restrictions make it illegal to build or maintain a campfire, use a charcoal or wood burning stove within the boundaries of TNF. Campfires in metal fire rings and pedestal grills provided by the Forest Service in developed recreation sites are allowed.

Gas and propane stoves and lanterns are permitted if they meet fire underwriter specifications.

Also, smoking is allowed only within an enclosed vehicle, building or developed recreation campground.

Discharging firearms is also prohibited unless engaged in a lawful hunt.

Thought for the week

But something had to be There was no bridge across the branch done, and as we slid closer and closer to of the Indus River we had to cross before the edge I saw just one small chance of climbing a one lane winding road to the survival. I jammed the accelerator to the top of a low mountain, so we had to ford floor, steered toward a slab of sloping the river. rock, sped up it, and sent the Jeep soarThen, when a man appeared in the ing four feet into the air and — thank

God! — back onto the road.

Whew!

Well, after I finally got the Jeep stopped and we could breathe again I looked over at Lolly and asked her if she wanted to continue on.

Imagine what went through my mind as she looked into my eyes, smiled that wonderful smile of hers, and quietly said, “We came to see a dig.”

I learned a lot about courage that day, Johnny!

And there was another lesson we learned that day. You see, Bhambore itself had a lesson to teach.

An hour or so later Lolly and I were standing among the ruins of what had once been one of ancient India’s most thriving port cities.

The man in charge, who very kindly took time from his work to show us

around, guided us over the site. He introduced himself to us as Dr. Khan, and Khan is as common in Pakistan as Smith is here. However, we visited the site in 1960 and so I presume that “our” Dr. Khan that day was the well known Pakistani archaeologist Dr. F.A. Khan, who conducted the excavation of Bhambore from 1958 to 1965. Consequently, I am going to give him credit for saying something that day which I will never forget.

We walked the dig with Dr. Khan, marveling at the remains of Hindu temples, Muslim mosques, palatial buildings, large protective walls and a great stone anchorage for seagoing ships. Bhambore, we learned, had been a thriving seaport on the Arabian Sea for more than 15 centuries, but I began to puzzle over that.

You see, we had crossed many miles of desert and the coast was 14 miles away.

“But how can this be the ruins of a great seaport when the sea is so far away?” I asked.

Dr. Khan smiled. “Ah well,” he said, “nature plays tricks on us, and when it does all we can do is stand aside and watch.”

Still smiling, he explained that during the 13th century the branch of the mighty Indus that had brought employment and riches to so many people simply decided to change its course — as rivers are wont to do. And so, left high and dry, Bhambore was slowly abandoned.

And today, as Shelley put it so well in his poem Ozymandias: “The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

We can try to control the world, you see, but nature will always have the last word.

4th of July safety tips

I can’t believe it’s that time of year again! Fourth of July seems to have snuck up on us pretty fast and while my family and I really enjoy the fireworks, I can assure you that most pets do not. Every year on July 5th, the shelter is inundated with intakes.

Most of the animals that come in do not have a microchip or identification tags on. Without proper identification, it can be pretty difficult to find the lost pet’s owner. Following are some tips on what to do to keep your pets safe, as well as what to do should your pet go missing.

• Leave your pets at home and inside.

• Make sure your pets have proper identification such as I.D tags or a microchip (HSCAZ offers microchipping for just $20 — which includes registration). It also doesn’t hurt to take a current photo of your pet, in case they

do end up getting out and lost.

• If your pet does go missing, please check with HSCAZ. You can fill out a lost report with us in case your pet is not at the shelter.

• Check social media such as Facebook. There are many lost pet pages on Facebook, as well as yard sale pages where people often post lost and found animals.

Ultimately the safest, surefire way to make sure that your pets do not go missing, is to keep them at home. If your pet is destructive inside, a wire or hard plastic crate may be the best solution. Since our pets don’t understand or appreciate the fireworks, it’s our job to do everything we can to make them feel safe and secure. Have a safe and exciting holiday.

Following are just two of the many wonderful pets currently available for adoption. To learn more, visit the shelter, call 928-474-5590 or go to www. humanesocietycentralaz.org.

Payson Roundup SPORTS Friday, July 1, 2016

Pettet’s years of coaching led to slot in Hall of Fame From page 1B loves discourse and among his favorite topics are Payson High School sports — past and present.

Pettet arrived in Payson in 1958 fresh off the Northern Arizona University (then Arizona State College) campus and eager for his shot at coaching the Longhorn basketball and baseball teams.

He coached varsity basketball for four years and managed to finish all with winning seasons despite the fact the Class C school had petitioned to compete in the more competitive Class B alignment.

He also coached baseball for four years, took a year off and then returned for a final season, “When the administration forgot to hire a coach after I had resigned,” Pettet says.

After a couple of years at PHS, Pettet remembers he was “On my way out of town” to accept a teaching offer at either East or Alhambra high schools in Phoenix but was talked into remaining in Payson.

That was a stroke of good fortune for Longhorn sports because in 1960 he founded the PHS track and field team partly because a top-notch athlete, Ronnie Eaves, was hesitant about moving to Payson because the school did not field a track team.

“Ronnie was a sprinter, long jumper and pole vaulter — almost a one man track team because in those days there was no limit on how many events an athlete could enter,” Pettet remembers.

To build jump pits, Pettet hauled sawdust from the sawmill on Main Street and talked the athletes into helping him carve out a makeshift running track.

The team competed in the B West Conference and with only six athletes on the team managed a fourth-place finish among the 11 schools in the conference.

The team received a huge boost in talent when Gary Hardt — a standout in several sports — enrolled at PHS and managed to set state records in the high jump

Crabtree, Bailey win in PMGA Lou Crabtree and Kevin Bailey combined for a 54.4 score to win the Payson Men’s Golf Association Two-Man Best Ball/Scramble at Payson Golf Course on June 22.

The event featured a two-man best ball format for the first nine holes and a scramble for the final nine.

Lou Manganiello and Jesse Smith finished second with a 55.2 score, followed by John Calderwood and Jack Greenshield (57) and Gary Campbell and Gary Vaplon (58.1).

Ken Althoff found the cup from 21 feet 1, inch on the 18th hole to win the longest putt award.

Closest-to-the-pin winners included: Calderwood (No. 2, 18-5), Ron Fischer (No. 5, 7-0), Ed Bossert (No. 8, 6-0), Jerry McGuire (No. 14, 6-3) and Virgil Cly (No. 17, 16-10).

and long jump, Pettet recalls.

Academically at PHS, Pettet taught business along with both boys and girls physical education.

He used his PE programs to help build the foundation for a golf program that eventually became among the best in the state.

“I set up a nine-hole golf course around the perimeter of the school; there were no houses there in those days,” said Pettet.

“The kids named the course Pettet Hills Country Club.”

Among his PE class activities was to play the course but there were some restrictions.

“If a car was coming you couldn’t hit the ball, we didn’t want any broken windshields,” Pettet says.

From those humble beginnings, some of his students turned to golf as a hobby helping build interest in the school and community.

Pettet remembers that in about 1962, Payson High students,

no home games.”

When PHS finally got its first football field, located in a horse pasture east of Payson Golf Course, Pettet became the “Voice of the Longhorns” providing riveting play by play of the games as he roamed the sidelines.

“I set up some speakers from the old 16 millimeter projectors,” Pettet said. Eventually he moved from the sidelines to the press box and continued to announce for 40 years.

While his recent induction into the PHS Hall of Fame was obviously a well-deserved honor, Pettet admits the ceremony stirred more than a few memories.

“It was pretty emotional; I got choked up over everything that was happening,” he said.

“I listened to what the other (inductees) were saying and thought, ‘I helped start the programs, and these guys are the ones that followed through.’”

A Perfect Holiday Weekend

by

Peter Aleshire/Roundup

Peter Aleshire

roundup editor

Wow. July 4th? Already?

How’d that happen?

So the weekend has already run me down like a tractor hauling a flatbed load of clowns.

Didn’t make any plans, got no chance to get away. Heck, scared to even turn left onto the highway on Friday.

The 40-mile-long Forest Road 300 offers spectacular views of Rim Country. The dirt road will get lots of traffic for the first few miles, but even on a holiday weekend offers a wonderful, day-long jaunt.

So, what to do on a long, crowded weekend in the outdoors — besides sitting on the grass with the fireworks going off overhead on Monday.

Well, here’s my recommendations for some in-town adventures, with the heat and crowds taken (more or less) into account.

Bear in mind, I’m leaving off the list my favorite fishing hole — and my favorite shaded patch of riverfront — in hopes no one will ever find either one.

Cracker Jack Road: Drive about three miles out

of Payson heading toward Pine.

On your left, you’ll see a stop sign guarding the entrance to a dirt road — that’s Cracker Jack.

The road runs along the East Verde River for about 30 miles.

It crosses the creek on a concrete wet crossing after about five miles, then wanders through

beautiful, high desert, pinyon pine and juniper country until it reaches another, much more difficult wet crossing down by Doll Baby Ranch. Don’t try to drive the loop if you haven’t got full-fledged, high-clearance four-wheel drive to make the stream crossing by Doll Baby. But you can also just

enjoy the miles of scenery on the good, dirt road until then — with intermittent access to the East Verde River. The road will get a lot of traffic this weekend, but should be less jammed than the Flowing Springs or Houston Mesa

A cool hike along a shady mountain stream Story and Photos

by Randy Cockrell special to the roundup

On a recent morning as record high temperatures shut down hiking trails in Phoenix, a slew of us met for a hike. We headed east from Payson on State Highway 260 for the cool shores of Willow Springs Lake, about 23 miles away.

Arizona created the lake in 1967 for trout fishing, but these days the lake also hosts a few other species, including bass. The lake draws crowds, thanks to easy accessibility and weekly stocking.

The trail encircling the lake makes an excellent little hike, but we had different plans for this outing.

As sometimes happens in the summer, a couple youngsters joined the group, sister and brother. I was not at all surprised to find that both kids were excellent company. But then, you have to figure that any teenager who can be talked into hiking with a gaggle of senior citizens is a superi-

or example of the species.

We parked near the boat launch and followed the trail around the lake to the dam and spillway at the north end. We picked our way carefully to the bottom of the spillway and entered the beautiful Willow Springs Canyon — after admiring the impressive backside of the dam from the bottom looking up. Sticking to the well-worn trail on the right bank, we followed the little creek through a canyon bursting with greenery, forested slopes, and the occasional wildflowers, including columbine, wild rose, and some pretty red trumpet things. Chipmunks, butterflies, dragonflies, damselflies and songbirds added the finishing touches to an idyllic setting. The heat from the morning sun was all but nullified, being fended off by the dense stands of pines up on the northern ridge. We strolled in the shade along a pretty creek, loving every minute of it.

Tips for a perfect holiday weekend From page 1C Road access points to the East Verde.

Forest Road 300: This good dirt road runs for 40 miles along the edge of the Rim, from the connection with

the highway near Woods Canyon Lake all the way over to the highway connection on top of the Rim above Pine. It rolls along mostly level ground at more than 7,000 feet of elevation — so it’s a good 10-15 degrees cooler than Payson. General George Crook blazed the trail to connect

Camp Verde to Fort Apache in the White Mountains during the tragic, exhausting battle with the Apache. Now, it’s the recreational backbone of Rim Country.

Lots of people will be driving the road this weekend, especially the first short stretch leading to Woods Canyon Lake. But if you keep going and take some of the side paths — or work your way all the way back to Knoll Lake, you might elude the worst of the crowds. Monsoon storms will boil up off and on through the weekend — making for dramatic views from the edge of the Mogollon Rim.

Haigler Creek: So, every single easily accessible fishing spot will be crammed all weekend. People splashing around in the creek will ruin the fishing even if the crowds on Friday and Saturday don’t Photo courtesy of Randy Cockrell

A hike into the canyon below the lake is cool on a hot day.

Willow Springs hike From page 1C Just a few hundred yards from the spillway, we spotted a large nest atop a dead pine tree: Osprey! This large raptor lives on fish, which accounts for its various names, such as fish eagle, sea hawk, river and fish hawk.

This particular bird had situated its nest wisely, with easy access to both Willow Springs Lake and nearby Woods Canyon Lake, just a few wing beats to the northwest. The huge raptor wheeled overhead, chastising us with its high-pitched “skreek.” Those of us with long lenses on our cameras got some grand photos.

We continued along the pleasant path until it all but vanished 1.75 miles from where we’d parked. From this point, the going proved more challenging

as we bushwhacked over and around rocks, boulders, brush and downed logs. After a quarter mile of hard work, we’d had enough. Perching on cool boulders in and alongside the creek under the forest canopy, we settled down to rest and have our mid-hike snack. We’d come two miles. Retracing our steps back to the boat launch, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the sun still hadn’t climbed over many of the treetops, ensuring plenty of late-morning shade. If we’d hiked out an hour or two later in the day it would’ve been a different story.

The consensus was that a hike up Willow Springs Canyon was a great choice for an outing on a hot day, as long as you keep the overall distance short and finish up by late morning.

How to hook the grandkids on fishing Perhaps you have heard the expression — fishing is called fishing, not catching. I’ve had my share of no-catch days; but catching a lot of fish is no longer my motivation for going fishing. Don’t get me wrong, I love to catch fish, but I enjoy other aspects of the day too. I like challenging myself to make an accurate cast to a particular spot on the water, or laying a difficult cast under an overhanging branch. I often try to predict where I will get a fish to rise to my fly in a stretch of stream; and even if I don’t catch him, I feel a sense of accomplishment if I get a strike. On other days, I just smile at getting a close-up view of a deer coming down to the stream without noticing me.

That usually doesn’t do it for kids. For my grandsons, fishing equates to catching. They want to catch something. It doesn’t matter if the fish are small or if we throw them all back. Numbers matter to them. I get that and it makes sense as they are figuring out if fishing is something that they are really going to like.

I do all I can to make the trip a success. With my 5-year-old grandson, that means a short trip, sometimes less than a half hour if we can’t get a bite. Our trips always include his favorite snacks and drinks. We bring a bucket with a large aquarium dip net.

Sunfish are the best introductory fish for new anglers. Small, feisty and not picky about what they’ll bite on, they’re perfect for kids. At this point, my LIFE on grandson is pretty good at taking his sunfish off of the hook, but initially he strugthe FLY gled with the spiny fins. After I took the fish off the hook and put it in the bucket, he would spend time watching it before using his aquarium net to return the fish to the lake.

My older grandson started his trips the same way, and still enjoys snacks when we go fishing. He can fish longer, but still JIM STROGEN needs a lot of bites to hold his interest. He Fishing Columnist is good at taking the fish off the hook. He knows how to fold the spines down on a sunfish and how to thumb a crappie or bass like a pro to remove the hook.

Prior to any fishing trip with my grandsons, I make it a point to scout likely spots a day or two before their visit. I’ll determine the best spots within their casting range and figure out how deep the fish have gone. I also check out the cover (dock, wall, cattails, drop off). The kids generally use a bobber and worms or mealworms; so knowing the depth is important for quick success.

We’ve finally reached the point where I can even fish myself when they’re along. That is not how our trips started. One grandson at a time was the way to go. Their age difference meant different skill and attention spans. I sometimes took two rods, but I never expected to fish. I focused on my fishing partner. Sometimes, two rods came in handy since the plan of attack was throwing the bait and bobber out and waiting for the bobber to be pulled under.

We would both watch our bobbers and then my fishing buddy would pick up whichever rod had the action. Now that both grandsons can run their own rods, I will use my fly rod while they are fishing with worms or mealworms.

If I do hook a fish, I turn it over to them to bring to shore. They are experiencing early success with the fly rod and are motivated to try their hand at casting for fish if they see me catching them.

Any fish feels bigger on a fly rod for young and old fishermen alike.

They both have caught fish completely on their own with a fly rod now, and I couldn’t be prouder!

I can’t wait for my first fishing trip in a year or so with my 1-year-old granddaughter.

fish out every single spot immediately. So if you want to actually enjoy fishing on a weekend like this — you’ve got to find someplace that’s hard to get to — hopefully involving some kind of hike. Consider Haigler Creek, with both stocked rainbows and a population of wild brown trout in some of the less accessible reaches. From Payson, head north on Highway 260 about 24 miles to Colcord Ranch Road.

Turn right on Colcord (also FR 291). You’ll come to the Haigler Creek Trailhead after nine miles. Before that, you’ll pass Fisherman’s Point — with a steep trail leading down to the creek. You’ll also pass through a camping area, which will no doubt fill up quickly — might be filled already. But either the trailhead or Fisherman’s Point will provide access to the creek — and the hike should discourage the fair-weather anglers.
