Arizona Game and Fish Department officers are on the lookout for a curious bear in Pine they worry may have decided to call the community home. In the past week, Pine residents have reported seeing a young black bear at least seven times to Game and Fish. No one reported the bear acting aggressively, but the bear did get into a trash can, approach a chicken coop and one woman’s back deck. Mary Jane Coffee, who lives in the 3100 block of Southard Drive, first spotted the bear July 15 when she went out to her porch to check on food cooking in a crockpot. Coffee found the bear hanging over her wrought iron railing, sniffing at the pot. When the bear spotted Coffee, it ran off into the woods. The bear returned to her wooded yard several more times, but stayed away from the house, playing with a beehive near the ground.

Plans to build an industrial park at the end of the scenic Granite Dells Road, including an ammunition production facility, have been shot down. For months, the town worked busily with Advanced Tactical Armament Concepts (ATAC) to bring the project to fruition. The Star Valley council de-annexed 760 acres from its southwest boundary so Payson “I am crushed could annex the Rim Ranch, also known as ... It is a real the Fox Farm, into its blow to see boundary. The town the turmoil hammered out a pre-annexation development created by agreement with the a handful of owners and was in talks people.” to begin the rezoning Kenny Evans process, changing the Mayor of Payson area from residential to industrial for ATAC to build a proposed 100,000-square-foot campus, where it could produce ammunition and work with ancillary businesses on related products. The project raised a few eyebrows and vocal concerns among residents who questioned why anyone would build, and town officials would allow, an industrial park in the nearby picturesque spots, popular for hiking and biking. Mayor Kenny Evans last week confirmed the project is no more. He said the turmoil created by a dozen residents fighting the project scared ATAC off. He said he hopes ATAC does not get up and leave the town altogether after the brouhaha, taking with it 70 jobs and sales tax revenue. “I am crushed,” Evans said of seeing the project fall through. “We spent so much time

Tales abound of corporate wage earners fed up with their button-down, rat race lifestyles dreaming of escaping to a plainer, simple life absorbed in a job they love. Most however never flee and go on to suffer burnout. Not so with Ric Hawthorne — the entrepreneur who operates his new blacksmith shop, Ten Crows Forge, under a makeshift canopy adjacent to Uncle Tom’s Quik Stop on Highway 87 in Pine. About five years ago, Hawthorne was employed in the corporate world as a marketing director and a graphic designer. Unhappy with his career choice, he decided to put his creative and artistic

She said the bear would dig and claw at the hive until the bees came out and then run away as the swarm chased him. “It was so funny to watch,” she said. “It was like a Disney movie.” Coffee keeps her two dogs on the 65-foot enclosed deck, so she said she was never worried for their safety and the bear did not show interest in them. Coffee has not seen the bear since July 16 and this is the first time she has seen a bear near her property since she moved there 40 years ago. Amy Burnett, information and education program manager with the AGFD, said since July 15, Pine residents have reported a bear in the area at least seven times, nearly all within the southwest portion of the community. While they do not know if it is the same bear, residents have all reported a bear brown in color, weighing around 100 pounds. Game and Fish officers

Many residents confuse black and brown bears, but there are no brown bears in Arizona, Burnett said, adding brown bears are actually grizzlies. All Arizona bears are black bears, but they come in a multitude of colors, including cinnamon, brown and blonde.

One Pine resident spotted the bear near his chicken coop last week on Robbin Lane. He was also spotted off Bradshaw Drive and eating apples off the ground on the western edge of town. Several days ago, the bear got into a trash can that someone had left out overnight for trash pickup.

The Pine Strawberry Future Vision ing Committee, a group of concerned residents, continues its efforts to give the communities direction for the future. Since mid-June the group has sought input from citizens on a Pine Strawberry Future Survey. More than 500 responses were submitted by late last week. The survey is brief and is available online at www.surveygizmo.com/ s3/2167783/PSFUTURE and in hard copy form at the Ponderosa Market and Uncle Tom’s Quik Stop in Pine or DC Cross Mercantile (formerly Strawberry Market) in Strawberry. Upon completion, the survey can be returned at any of those locations or mailed to PS Future, P.O. Box 1024, Pine, AZ 85544. Visitors to the area may also participate in the survey, which will remain

open through Aug. 7. Additionally there will be a community forum from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 1 at the Pine Cultural Hall. The forum is to solicit detailed feedback in specific areas of concern such as land use, circulation, open space, growth and water resources. Those attending are also invited to provide opinions about subjects such as special events, traffic, water, sewage, historical preservation and other topics of interest. Throughout the day the committee will host separate 30-minute sessions on each element. The committee wants and needs community input, as this is critical to updating the Gila County Comprehensive Planning document and especially the sections about Pine and Strawberry. All Pine Strawberry property owners and renters are encouraged to drop by and participate whether for a single session or all of them.

Once the survey results and forum input is analyzed, a community meeting will be held to present the findings. Currently the meeting is planned for early September 2015. The survey was launched as part of the group’s ever-unfolding story of the community working to have a voice in the next iteration of the Gila County Comprehensive Plan. The roots of the effort were planted a little more than a year ago when Dollar General sought to come into Pine. Overwhelming protests from the community resulted in the developer withdrawing their plans. Several residents then formed a committee to work with Gila County officials and secure a mechanism by which Pine Strawberry residents will have a direct say in the future planning of all commercial businesses that want to develop in the area.

A man hung up on love could not hang up the listening or tracking devices on his ex-girlfriend despite her pleas to stay away, police say. Earlier this month, Payson Police arrested Tanner Shane Ralls, 45, of Pine-Strawberry, on multiple charges, including stalking and surreptitiously recording his ex-girlfriend after they recovered tracking and recording devices and multiple messages from Ralls to his ex-girlfriend. Ralls told officer Justin Deaton that he could not let his ex go and knew that what he had done was wrong, but 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. The responding officer filed the call under a civil dispute and did not take the device since the woman had not yet filed an order of protection. 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 reporting 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 that he did not appreciate her talking behind his back. When she asked what he was talking 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 that he had placed a listening device in both of her bathrooms so he could “catch her in lies.” In April, Ralls allegedly messaged the woman that if he saw her out with another man he would “spill the pot.” Another time, he emailed her and told her he would turn himself in for putting the tracking device on her vehicle. “So then you and all your cops can shut the heck up,” he wrote. “File whatever charges you want. Ok, I will do it Sunday. Happy know (sic).” On July 9, PPD officers went to Ralls’ home in the P-S area where Ralls met them at the gate. Ralls appeared agitated, Deaton noted. Deaton found two pieces of foil in Ralls’ pockets, which appeared See Jilted, page 10A

The Town of Payson is the owner of the final sliver of the intersection of Granite Dells and Mud Springs roads. The town council approved purchasing 800-square-feet of the intersection Thursday from Michael and Trina Amon for $2,000. When the town installed a roundabout at the corner several years ago, the Amons gave the town permission to cross the corner of the property to do so, saying they would work out how much the town should pay at a later date. That day came Thursday when the council agreed to pay the couple for the tiny patch of land in the 10,000-square-foot intersection.

the town $2,000 a month. The agreement took effect Thursday and will run through June 30, 2016. At Thursday’s council meeting, Michael Hughes, vice mayor, said while he is in favor helping the Houston Mesa, he wanted to make sure the agreement did not automatically renew every year. He said the agreement is only supposed to be a stopgap until Houston Mesa can make arrangements that are more permanent. Councilor Su Connell said she was all for helping the neighboring community and would like to see how the agreement works out. Under the agreement, the Houston Mesa Fire Board will keep its autonomy and be allowed to contract with another provider for technical or other services.

He will help the fire district develop a strategic plan and oversee the district’s firefighters and paramedics. Not unlike his job with the PFD, he will assign duties and monitor firefighters’ performance. He will also help coordinate training, ensure that firefighters have the appropriate certifications and investigate all complaints related to the district. He will prepare a monthly chief’s report for the fire board and attend monthly meetings or send a designee. The council approved the agreement, but with the ability for town attorney Hector Figueroa to make any minor, needed changes based on the fire board’s feedback.

Plans to extend Mud Springs to the highway are on the town’s long-term transportation plan. Garrett said the extension likely would not happen until the college arrives. Initially, planners anticipated the entrance of the college off Mud Springs, but now it is more likely to be east of Mud Springs, Garrett said. If built, a two-way stop sign would likely be installed on Mud Springs at the highway. In 2008, the Surface Trans portation Advisory Committee heard from residents concerned that extending Mud Springs to 260 would create a defacto highway bypass. An expert found, however, that the extension would generate so little traffic that there is no need for a signal or roundabout at 260.

Book lovers, authors celebrate the written word

• July 26, 1775: Congress establishes the United States Post Office and names Benjamin Franklin the first postmaster general. While postmaster, Franklin streamlined postal delivery with properly surveyed and marked routes from Maine to Florida, the origins of Route 1. • July 24, 1915: The steamer Eastland overturns in the Chicago River, drowning more than 800 of its passengers. The disaster was caused by serious problems with the boat’s design. The Eastland capsized next to the dock, trapping hundreds of people on or underneath the large ship. • July 25, 1965: Singer-songwriter Bob Dylan rocks the world of folk music when he performs at the Newport Folk Festival and abandons his acoustic guitar for an electric one. By going electric, Dylan eventually moved rock and folk music closer together. • July 23, 1986: Britain’s Prince Andrew married Sarah Ferguson at Westminster Abbey in London. They divorced in 1996.

et the love of reading lead you to the Payson Book Festival tomorrow. Celebrate the wonderful world of words with more than 60 authors from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, July 25 at the Payson campus of Gila Community College, 201 N. Mud Springs Road (turn north off East Highway 260 across from the Payson Ranger Station). Hosted by the Arizona Professional Writers and Gila Community College, the Payson Roundup is proud to be the event’s major sponsor. After all, where would a newspaper be without people who love to read? The festival’s primary goals are to promote literacy and showcase Arizona authors. The festival’s mission is to enhance the love of reading by providing a friendly environment that encourages personal interaction between Arizona authors and readers of all ages. To that end, children will have an opportunity to meet Story Monster and enjoy story time with Conrad J. Storad, author of 50 children’s books based on nature and science. He also will offer a Young Writers Workshop for 9- to 12-year-olds. Story Monster is a green, huggable, book-crazy beast that lives at Five Star Publications, Inc. in Chandler, Ariz. The first 100 families who visit the Five Star Publications booth during the Payson Book Festival will receive a “greenie bag” from Story Monster. Linda F. Radke, president of Five Star Publications, Inc. has been a member of APW for more than 20 years. “Many children haven’t met an author in person, nor realize that they, too, can become authors,” Radke said. Research shows that children who are solid readers perform better in school and become lifelong learners. Yet many lack the motivation to read because they don’t see their parents reading for pleasure. Often there are no books, magazines or newspapers in the home. Many parents report they are too busy to read to their children. These factors can severely hinder a child’s success in school. Parents cheer on small children as they learn to read picture books, but when they learn to read independently, parents tend to be less involved. “As kids get older, the role parents play changes. We found that not only do parents need to be reading role models, but that they must play a key role in helping their older children select books that capture their imagination and interest,” according to Lisa Holton, former president of Scholastic Book Fairs. Author Jordan Shapiro, wrote an interesting article, “Kids Don’t Read Books Because Parents Don’t Read Books,” which appeared in Forbes (5/13/2014). He notes that middle schoolers (sixth-graders in particular) are reading the most words per student but reading decreases among high school students. Shapiro writes, “When these kids become adolescents they attempt to directly emulate their adult role models. If adults don’t read books, then trying to act like an adult means not reading books.” As a father, he requires 30 minutes of reading before any video game time. He also models good reading behaviors. Shapiro adds, “In my household, being an adult means feeling comfortable with books. Maturity means having excessive familiarity with long-form written words.” When children accompany their parents or grandparents to a book festival, youngsters see people getting excited about books and meeting authors. Teens can talk to authors in a relaxed setting and perhaps realize that they are interesting people who want to share stories with readers. Maybe these youths will be inspired to write a book or article. So take time visit the Payson Book Festival and enjoy a community celebration of books for all ages and meet the authors of those books. More information is available at www.paysonbookfestival.org.

I look forward to the conversation over the state’s land trust and how it could provide a boost to education in our state. We will have a thorough discussion and review of the proposal in the upcoming legislative session. As state revenues improve I will always be ready to put the majority of the increase into our school system. Education is one of my priorities, and I am grateful to all educators who are making a future for our children. The governor’s office, the state schools superintendent and the Legislature are all working together to find the best solutions for our schools, our teachers and our students.

Pine Strawberry residents asked to shape future Editor: Currently, a survey is available to share your thoughts about the future of Pine Strawberry. Especially with the pace of development increasing in Payson, it’s more important than ever for the local community to register our opinions rather than waiting to see what happens next. To date, we have recorded more than 550 responses from residents of Pine Strawberry, and we can always use more information. Even if you do not live here, you can still be heard as there is a selection for “visitors.” To get the survey to complete, please visit: www.surveygizmo.com/s3/2167783/PSFUTURE or drop by the Ponderosa Market, Uncle Tom’s Texaco or DC Mercantile (formerly Strawberry Market). Also, we will be hosting an open forum on Saturday, Aug. 1 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Pine Cultural Hall to solicit more detailed feedback. We welcome anyone to visit and provide your opinions to the Pine Strawberry Future Visioning Committee about subjects like special events, traffic, water, sewage and historical preservation, just to name a few.

Guns protect from government tyranny Editor: In the wake of the Charleston, S.C. shooting rampage in the Emmanuel A.M.E. Church, the issue of gun control is once again being widely debated. Proponents of gun control seek universal background checks and lament the fact that a clerical error allowed the killer to skate through a background check, while proponents of our right to keep and bear arms point out that

background checks have never stopped a crime in history and the clerical error proved once again the ineffectiveness of background checks. Focusing on gun control in the aftermath of this tragedy is a red herring: Firearms exist. Firearms will always exist. If not commercially manufactured they can be manufactured in home workshops faster than they can be confiscated. A person bent on murder or massacre will always be able to acquire a firearm. Recent scandals involving the TSA airport screenings for firearms have revealed a person with an incentive will always be able to sneak a firearm past very expensive metal detectors and incompetent (personnel). We need to stop focusing on the gun and stop thinking up ways to violate the rights of citizens, and start thinking about how to stop a murderous maniac who has a gun — because he will always have a gun if he wants one. So far, only one method has a proven track record of success. In a National Self-Defense Survey conducted by Dr. Gary Kleck and Dr. Mark Gertz in the spring of 1993, involving nearly 5,000 respondents in the continental United States, it was shown that firearms of all types are used approximately 2.5 million times a year to stop crimes in progress. Handguns are used to stop crime about 1.9 million times a year. Usually it is unnecessary to fire the weapon. And this is not the only study producing the same or similar results. People advocating civilian disarmament have a much broader objective than the private keeping and bearing of arms. The backer of the Brady Act of 1993, which established the original background check as a precondition to receiving (or being denied) government permission to exercise a right (purchase a firearm), knew it would have little if any effect on criminal access to firearms, and they have been proven correct. But they knew it would render moot and irrelevant our Fourth Amendment right against unwarranted interrogation, search, or seizure,

our Fifth Amendment right to due process before our rights can be taken from us, and our 10th Amendment right to a federal government that exercise only those powers constitutionally delegated to it. These three Amendments particularly established our Rule of Law principle of governance. The object of background checks is to make us owners feel proud that government approves of them, when in fact they have been suckered into contributing to the destruction of the Rule of Law protecting all our liberties. Now the advocates for dictatorship want every transfer of a firearm, even temporarily for the purpose of inspection, to require a background check — again, in violation of our Fourth, Fifth, and 10th Amendment rights. Once the Fourth, Fifth, and 10th Amendments are rendered moot and unenforceable, background checks will soon be required for travel, for protest rallies, for petitioning government for redress of grievances, for free speech, freedom of religion, and every other liberty our Constitution is designed to preserve and protect. Our right to keep and bear arms is to protect us from government tyranny. Are we going to allow government to issue or deny us permission to exercise it? Donald L. Cline

Kristin Wade (bottom row, second from left) worked as a hygienist at High Desert Dentistry before attending dental school. Earlier this month, she bought her former employer’s practice on Main Street and renamed it Payson Premier Dental. The staff remains the same.

Dental practice has new owner by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

From hygienist to dental practice owner, Kristin Wade has made some huge career leaps in the past decade. Wade is now the new owner of High Desert Dentistry at 409 W. Main St. As the new owner, Wade has changed the name of the business to Payson Premier Dental. Besides the name change, everything is the same at the practice, including the staff. Former owner and dentist Thomas Mattern will still practice at Payson Premier Dental, offering implants and other major dental procedures. He owns four other offices in the Valley and was scaling back, staff said. Wade started at High Desert Dentistry as a

hygienist, working eight years in that position. She attended dental school at Arizona School of Dental and Oral Health and graduated in 2009. Since then she has practiced at High Desert. “I feel privileged to turn over my practice to this well-qualified dentist,” Mattern wrote in a letter to patients. “The outstanding team you are familiar with looks forward to serving you and welcoming you into our Payson Premier Dental family.” Wade plans to continue the practice’s Free Veterans Day Event Nov. 11. On that day, Payson Premier Dental offers veterans free cleanings, fillings and other minor dental procedures to show appreciation for their service. Spots are limited, so call and schedule an appointment in advance. For more information or an appointment, call (928) 472-8400.

Changing the culture of PUSD by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

Last year, the Payson Unified School District board requested the culture of the district change after a tumultuous year. The board’s No. 2 goal was to “establish a supportive, positive, and effective district climate and culture that is committed to recruit, retain and train high quality employees.” The No. 3 goal was to, “establish a supportive, positive and effective district climate and culture that is committed to family/parent and community involvement in our schools.” At the June 27 board retreat, Superintendent Greg Wyman gave a report of the progress made so far. Staff: “We did do parent, staff and kid climate surveys … (and) … we did employee exit interviews,” said Wyman. “We’re trying to get more people involved as we can.” Wyman said the district started Legendary Teacher Day. The day is a newly created concept that sets aside a day in September to thank a teacher that made a difference in a person’s life. “This year it’s on Sept. 24,” he said. Brenda Case, director of student achievement. talked about the district’s new teacher appreciation day. “We celebrated teacher appreciation day at the district with a fruit bar,” said Brenda Case. When the board looked confused and asked if she meant a fruit leather bar or cereal bar, she laughed and clarified that it was a fruit and granola breakfast bar for the teachers. Wyman said the district has set as a priority paying staff a stipend. “It’s a way to say to the staff thank you,” he said.

Parents and community: To increase communication with parents, the district initiated the Parent University to introduce parents to Edline (the online communication tool for the district), math and reading remediation programs, Beyond Textbooks, Internet safety and how to cope with some of the social and emotional issues teenagers experience. Case said school administrators go on KMOG once a month to answer listeners’ questions and report on what’s going on with the school. Wyman said Lisa Evans, who heads up the special education department, has a special advisory committee to work with parents about how special education can help their child. Wyman said the district has also fine-tuned the School Messenger system so families don’t get overwhelmed with too many messages on voice mail and email. “School Messenger is one of those fine line things — we pulled back because some of the messages were too constant,” said Wyman. New to the district this year — text messages. Wyman said the district still has many cell phone numbers to collect and hopes to do so during registration. The district has also added social media to the communication lineup. “We are trying as many vehicles as we can,” said Wyman. “We’re using Facebook and Twitter as a different vehicle to get information out.” The district has also upped the use of Edline so parents, students and teachers can communicate more clearly on homework and project requirements. Board member Jim Quinlan asked if Edline would be posted to daily. “I believe you will see a significant increase,” said Wyman.

CROSSWORD

School-age children, from preschoolers to college students, need vaccines. Parents and guardians must make sure their children are up-to-date on vaccines before sending them back to school. All school-age children, from preschoolers through college students, need vaccines. Use Centers for Disease Control’s online resources and tools to check the recommended vaccines for children. What all parents need to know

Vaccines for preteens and teens (7 years old through 18 years old)

Making sure that children of all ages receive all their vaccinations on time is one of the most important things you can do as a parent to ensure your children’s long-term health — as well as the health of friends, classmates and other in your community. To keep children in schools healthy, Arizona requires children going to school to be vaccinated against certain diseases such as pertussis (whooping cough). If you’re unsure of your school’s requirements, now is the time to check with your child’s doctor, your child’s school, or your health department. That way, you can get your child any vaccines he needs before the back-to-school rush. Disease outbreaks still happen

It’s true that some vaccine-preventable diseases have become very rare thanks to vaccines. However, cases and outbreaks still happen. From Jan. 1 to Aug. 1, 2014, there were 593 cases of measles reported in the United States. There were 18 outbreaks of this disease. From Jan. 1 to June 16, 2014, almost 10,000 cases of whooping cough had been reported to CDC by 50 states and Washington, D.C. These numbers represent a 24 percent increase compared with the same time period in 2013. Outbreaks of whooping cough at middle and high schools can occur as protection from childhood vaccines fades. Those who are vaccinated against whooping cough but still get the disease are much more likely to have a mild illness compared to those who never received the vaccine. Making sure your children stay up-to-date

Metro Services photo

with vaccinations is the best way to protect your communities and schools from outbreaks that can cause unnecessary illnesses and deaths. Getting every recommended dose of each vaccine provides children with the best protection possible. Vaccines for young children (newborns through 6 years old)

During the early years of life, your children need vaccines to protect them from 14 diseases that can be serious, even life-threatening. Parents who choose not to vaccinate their children increase the risk of disease not only for their own children, but also for other children and adults throughout the entire community.

Preteens and teens need vaccines, too. As children get older, they are still at risk for certain disease. Before heading back to school, three vaccines are recommended for 11- to 12-year-olds: HPV, Tdap and meningococcal conjugate vaccine — for continued protection. HPV vaccine is important because it can prevent HPV infections that can cause cancer later in life. For other diseases, like whooping cough, the protection from vaccine doses received in childhood fades over time. That’s why 11- to 12-year-olds are also recommended to get the booster shot called Tdap to help protect them from whooping cough, tetanus, and diphtheria. Meningococcal conjugate vaccine helps prevent two of the three most common causes of meningococcal disease, which can be very serious — even life-threatening. It’s important to know that flu can be serious, even for healthy, young people. Preteens and teens are no exception. Older children should get at least one flu vaccine (the shot or nasal spray for healthy kids) every year. It’s not too late

Getting every recommended dose of each vaccine provides children with the best protection possible. If a child misses a shot, it can be difficult to figure out the best way to catch up. Gila County Health Department will be offering extended shot hours through today, Friday, July 24 from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. For more information and a current immunization clinic schedule, please call (928) 474-1210.

Blacksmithing unlocks man’s creativity From page 1A

With Ten Crows expanding, Hawthorne took a leap of faith last April, quitting his job at Home Depot and opening the outdoor shop at Uncle Tom’s. Thus far, the decision has been a good one, “Everything has worked out really well and the Weeks family has been incredibly kind to me.” As an example, at midday just weeks ago, the profusely sweating Hawthorne was forging metal in front of a 1,000-degree furnace on a 95-degree day, when the Weeks family offered him a portable evaporative cooler to make the heat a bit more bearable. Today, Hawthorne showcases his skills to admiring Uncle Tom’s customers who, while buying gas, drinks or food, wander over to the canopy inquisitive about the spectacle of blacksmithing. Just days ago, Hawthorne wrote on

Verde that also taught blacksmith classes. Excitedly, he enrolled and took a part-time job at Home Depot to support him until he finished his schooling and apprenticeship as a blacksmith. When not working at Home Depot, he continued to hone his new profession, working out of a small shop behind his home. There he poured himself into handcrafting candle holders, necklaces, wall hangers, key rings, wine bottle holders, dinner bells and just about any piece of metal art for which a customer could ask. Soon his items were being sold in galleries in Sedona and Jerome thanks to distribution help from his girlfriend, Julieann Murphy. “(My pieces) were being bought almost as fast as I could make them,” Hawthorne said.

Facebook, “Wow! What a week. Thanks to everyone that stopped by and shopped or placed custom orders. This was the best week we have ever had, and the orders keep coming in. “So glad to be pounding out products that people really seem to like.” For special events, like the Fourth of July or the upcoming Pioneer Day in Strawberry, Hawthorne hosts demonstrations that draw good-sized crowds eager to watch him handcraft his metal wares.

Rim Ranch deal with ammo maker falls through … I want to be here, we want to be here, our employees want us to be here.” At the same meeting, several residents said they were not against ATAC or growth, but did not want the project in the Granite Dells. They wondered how ATAC would pay to build an industrial park in the remote area, which is a mile from water and sewer lines. The town said it would not cover any of the development costs. Among the provisions in a pre-annexation development agreement, the developer agreed to cover the cost of extending a water line and electricity to the property, cover the cost of sanitation services and pay to improve Granite Dells Road. In an earlier letter to the Roundup, Antich said he planned to build a 100,000-squarefoot “modern campus, equipped with clean, lean and green manufacturing equipment. The expansion will add 150 sustainable manufacturing careers including research, engineering

From page 1A and money on this. It is a real blow to see the turmoil created by a handful of people.” Jim Antich, founder and managing partner of ATAC, would not respond to the Roundup’s repeated requests for comment on the issue. Last August, Antich told the council he wanted to keep ATAC in Payson, but needed room to grow after maxing out the location at the airport industrial park. After exhausting all other options, ATAC looked to the Rim Ranch to expand. He said many other towns and states had approached him about relocating to their communities. “We had a $200 million loan fund from the state of Texas at 3.5 percent interest, probably $4 million in just, here, please come. Tax abatements for 10 years and free land at some places,” Antich said in August. “But I don’t want to leave here. Business-wise, money-wise, greed-wise, why wouldn’t I go there?

For example, vulnerable newborns too young to have received the maximum protection from the recommended doses of vaccines or people with weakened immune systems, such as some people with cancer and transplant recipients, are also at high risk of disease. Flu vaccines are recommended for children in preschool and elementary school to help keep them healthy. In fact, all children 6 months and older should get flu vaccines. Getting all of your children vaccinated — as well as other family members and caregivers — can help protect infants younger than 6 months old. Ask your family’s doctor or nurse about getting flu shots or the nasal spray to protect against flu.

and training professionals.” ATAC manufactures 100 million rounds of ammunition annually in a 20,000-square-foot plant near the Payson Industrial Park by the airport. ATAC outgrew the facility and wanted 80 to 100 acres of vacant, flat land to build an additional facility. Antich reportedly tried to buy land near the airport, but the deal fell through. With the Rim Ranch deal off, Evans said he is working to keep ATAC in Payson. He said ATAC might stay, but only produce a select line of ammunition, expanding elsewhere. He said Antich was discouraged when Payson residents spoke out against expansion plans especially because other communities have bent over backward (to bring the business in). The Roundup asked Evans if other projects are now being considered for the Rim Ranch property. He said yes, but would not discuss what they are.

The Tonto Apache Tribe this week presented the Payson FFA chapter with a check for more than $4,000 to help the club representatives attend the national competitions in Louisville, Ky. Representing the club at the presentation were Josh Barlow, Emma Lowery, Olivia Long and Destinee Tinnin. Tribal Council members gathered to congratulate the club for ranking as one of the top four chapters in the state. Tribal council members include Junior Tinnin, Donovan Waterman, Chair Vivian Burdette and Vice Chair Wally Davis Jr.

Tribe supports award-winning Payson FFA chapter by

Pete Aleshire

roundup editor

The Tonto Apache Tribe has donated $4,060 to the Payson FFA chapter, to help seven top agriculture students attend a national competition. The Payson Future Farmers of America chapter placed among the top four chapters in the state in earlier, statewide competitions. The group’s outstanding record in competitions and projects and community engagement won Payson a chance to compete nationally. Officers of the 114-member program will attend the national conference in the fall at Louisville, Ky. The vocational training program prepares students for careers in agriculture and animal husbandry, including marketing, business management, veterinary sciences and others. The program focuses on poise, critical thinking, scientific method and a host of practical life skills. “We wanted to support them because FFA gets left out of a lot of the fundraising and

donations,” said Tonto Apache Tribal Council member Junior Tinnin. “We had the funds — that’s a pretty good reason,” deadpanned Tribal Chairwoman Vivian Burdette. Club adviser Dave Rutherford recently took over the program, which struggled for years to win funding for improved facilities on the Payson High School campus. Students can get career and college credit for coursework through Northern Arizona Vocational Institute of Technology, the regional vocational training district that supports programs in districts throughout the region. The students give speeches, make marketing pitches, do job shadowing in veterinarian offices and undertake a host of projects, with a hands-on approach to learning. For instance, one of the projects that helped the chapter win statewide honors involved a twomonth effort to evaluate the quality of chicken feed in the area. The students fed chickens a variety of local types of feed, then meticulously evaluated the results so they could come up with a ranking of the various foods.

The chapter also helped host a dinner for Gila County pioneers, with roots in the local ranching community. They also staged sessions at local ranches to teach other youngsters about roping, animal care and working with horses on a ranch. Rutherford said the club needs to raise about $750 for each student attending the national conference and is halfway to that goal — thanks in large measure to the generosity of the Tonto Apache Tribe. People interested in supporting the club can find a link on the local chapter’s Facebook page at paysonazffachapter. Josh Barlow, a club officer with five years experience, said the activities do far more than prepare students for a career in agriculture. “It’s not just the career — it’s everything,” he said. He noted that he comes from a family with a long tradition of ranching and farming, but still hasn’t decided what career he’ll pursue. But no matter what he does, the various, practical, hands-on experience in the club will prove one of the most useful things he’s done in school.

Hallmark of Special Olympians by

Keith Morris

roundup sports editor

“They work really hard. They’re very dedicated.” — Spend a few minutes at Taylor Pool during Gila County Payson Area Special Olympics swimming practice any Tuesday or Thursday during the summer and you’ll see that GCPASO delegation head Becky Derwort’s comments ring true. The team features about 20 athletes ranging in age from 8 to the mid-50s. Practice started the week of June 15. Payson Special Olympians will continue preparing for the Area Meet in Cottonwood on Sept. 19. Anyone

participating in that event qualifies for the State Meet set for Oct. 16-17. Every week they practice events like the backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly and freestyle with distances ranging from 25 to 100 meters. Athletes are permitted to compete in up to three events in a meet. Payson features two individual medley relay teams, a freestyle relay team, as well as two unified relay teams, each featuring two Special Olympians and two partners. Along with Derwort, George Karrys is also a certified coach. Those two work with volunteers Anne Kane, Mike McCannon and David Ranck. All five dedicate a lot of time to the

program. Bocce season begins this week for Payson Special Olympians and also concludes in October. Bowling begins in September and leads into the winter sports of basketball, figure skating, speed skating and snowshoeing. Also among the eight sports Payson Special Olympians participate in is track and field in the spring. Payson Special Olympics is always looking for new volunteers. Anyone interested in volunteering can call Becky Derwort at (928) 474-9142 or (928) 978-3893. Visit the Payson Special Olympics Facebook page for photos and more information.

Glow run lights up night at park by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

There are mud runs, turkey trots, triathlons and now something a little more colorful. On Aug. 8, the town will host its first Glow Run, dubbed the Glow in the Bowl, a non-competitive run at Green Valley Park. Participants are encouraged to light up with glow sticks, neon clothing and glow-in-the-dark accessories for the nighttime event, which will snake around the Payson Golf Course for 5K or 3.1 miles. Event organizer Kaprice Bachtell said she was looking to do something different that was fun, non-competitive and that could appeal to all ages. She dreamed up the Glow Run,

a combination of several popular race styles, including color runs, where participants are showered with colorful chalk. Chalk won’t be thrown at this race, but participants are encouraged to cover themselves in color, especially things that glow. Along the course, black lights

will be set up to illuminate the participants. Organizers will also hand out goody bags to the first 75 entrants that include glow sticks, necklaces and bracelets, glow-in-the-dark shoelaces and reflective shirts. The fun run will not be timed. Bachtell said there would be several surprises along the course and at the finish line, which will be in the bowl area at Green Valley Park. Register early for the event and save. Through July 29, the registration cost for adults is $25; $12 for children 12 and under. After July 29, the cost is $30 for adults, $15 for children. To register, visit PaysonRim Country.com or visit the Parks and Recreation office at Green Valley Park.

Mary Jane Coffee captured this image of the young bear digging and clawing at a beehive behind her property in Pine. The bear would take off running when the swarm chased him.

Officials remind residents, ‘a fed bear is a dead bear’ From page 1A The person, a Valley resident, did not realize this is dangerous to do in a community like Pine. The young bear is likely looking for his own territory after leaving his parents and when he stumbled on Pine and human garbage, thought it was a good place to stop, Burnett said. “A fed bear is a dead bear,”

she said, if bears get human garbage. “We want to keep him wild.” Burnett encouraged residents to put their trash cans out the day of trash pickup and not the night before.

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.” Deaton told Ralls he would be charged with possession of dangerous drugs, domestic violence, surreptitious recording, interfering with judicial proceedings and stalking. “Mr. Ralls stated he believed that he deserved all of those for his actions. I advised that I believed so too,” Deaton said.

In Memory of

Will Rhea

devoted husband, father, brother, friend (1964-2015)

Harry William Rhea III — known as “Will” or “Rod” to his family and friends

— completed his earthly journey Friday, July 3, after a sudden onset of pneumonia and complications. He was born July 10, 1964 to Harry William (“Bill”) Rhea, Jr. and Peggy Maxine Archer, who precede him in death. Although he lived half a century, it was Will’s assertion that his life really began just over 25 years ago when he met Janelle Tracy. Will and Janelle married in 1990 in the Los Angeles LDS temple and lived in Fontana, California for less than a year. They moved to Phoenix shortly after the birth of their first son, and then on to Rigby, Idaho shortly before their second son was born. Sons three and four were born while they lived in Rexburg. The family moved to St. Anthony, Idaho, in 1994 where they made their home for nearly 16 years, during which time six more sons joined their ranks. After a short stay in Magna, Utah, their move to Payson three short years ago was a miracle and a blessing. Will and his family have always been activelyinvolved members of the communities in which they’ve lived, and Will has served and been a leader in local civic and church units. He loved to talk to people and was a great listener. He will be dearly missed by many people who knew and loved him, chief among them his brothers: Darren (Carrie) Rhea of Payson; Greg Rhea, formerly of California, now of Payson; and Ted (Shannon) Rhea of California, and his wife Janelle and their sons Tyler, Ben, Joshua, Caleb, Gideon, Tavish, Tom, Joseph, Duncan and David.

Making a living as a professional athlete is just a dream for most. Cypress Gorry hopes he doesn’t wake up. After four collegiate national championships, the 2012 Payson High graduate enjoyed the biggest day of his young pro career by winning the Under-23 title in the USA Cycling Mountain Bike National Championships in Mammoth Mountain, Calif. on July 16. The victory qualifies Gorry, 21, to compete in the World Championships in the European country of Andorra later this summer. “It’s definitely a big step in my career,” said Gorry. He completed the course featuring an 800-foot change in elevation on each of the five laps in 1 hour 27 minutes and 11 seconds. Gorry also finished fourth overall in the pro short track race in the National Championships. Prior to the World Championships, Gorry plans to compete in World Cup races in Mont Sainte Anne, Canada on Aug. 2 and in Windham, N.Y. on Aug. 9. The top riders can earn a living racing but there’s no purse for the National Championships.

“Very few make a living at it, so I’m trying to break through into that. Hopefully this is a step toward that process.” Cypress Gorry

Mountain bike racer

“Very few make a living at it, so I’m trying to break through into that,” Gorry said. “Hopefully this is a step toward that process.” Sponsors help him travel and compete in these kinds of big events. “I race for the Whole Athlete/ Specialized team and I have a lot of support from them,” he said. Gorry expects to graduate from Brevard College in North Carolina next year. He’s double majoring in exercise science and math with an eye on coaching cycling if he isn’t able to pursue a professional riding career. “I’m hoping to try to make a living racing mountain bikes, but it’s a pretty uncertain future in that,” he said. He has another year competing in the Under-23 Division before moving up to the Elite Class. Gorry expects to compete in nine or 10 profession-

The National Championships represented the sixth race of the season for Gorry. He participated in a pair of World Cup races in the Czech Republic and Germany in May and has also raced in Montana, Colorado and California. He finished eighth overall racing in the Montana race, which featured just one Elite Division

and included competitors from several countries. Gorry’s training time varies from 20 hours a week early in the season to 12-15 during the heavy summer racing season. When he returns from the World Championships he’ll get back into his final college-racing season, which begins in the fall and ends with the Nationals in late October.

‘I was not afraid at any time’ — Payson Little League president Rasmussen says she and Payson police handled Tucson team’s disqualification properly Payson Little League president Barbara Rasmussen is upset with how she was portrayed in a story that ran in Tuesday’s Roundup about a Tucson area team being disqualified from a tournament in Payson. Rio Rico’s team was disqualified from the Little League Baseball Intermediate 50/70 All-Stars State Tournament at Rumsey Park on July 13 because their players hadn’t appeared in the required number of regular-season games, as well as other problems with their paper work.

“It was heartbreaking to see the boys in tears. It’s not the kids’ fault. It’s simply because adults did not do their due diligence. It’s the district (8) administrator and their league president that allowed this to happen...”

coaches of the ruling. “I told the coaches they weren’t going to be allowed to play and they said that’s not what they had been told,” Rasmussen said. “They said they were waiting for

a call from their (district) administrator. So they weren’t going to leave. They thought Williamsport was going to overturn the decision.” In the story in Tuesday’s

Barbara Rasmussen

The decision to disqualify Rio Rico wasn’t Rasmussen’s. It came from Little League International in Williamsport, Pa. But it was Rasmussen’s job to inform Rio Rico’s coaches that the team wouldn’t be able to continue in the

tournament despite winning their first game 13-3 two days earlier. She received the call from District 1 administrator Kevin Mullaney informing her of the disqualification ruling from Williamsport and Rasmussen informed Rio Rico’s

Many families will be going camping before the start of school, so here is a recipe that is fun and easy for the whole family. I submitted it for the cookbook, “Fireflies Can Cook.” Banana Boats 6 bananas unpeeled 3 chocolate bars, broken into 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 of the way through. Open up the slit a little and stuff with chocolate pieces and marshmallows (and peanut butter if you would 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 marshmallows are melted. Unwrap and dig in (literally). Makes 6 servings.

Local artist Bill Ahrendt was scheduled to be a special guest of Library Friends last April speaking on the “Art of Historical Events and the West.” The only problem was, he didn’t show. But Ahrendt has agreed to make a second stab at being a Library Friends guest by giving a painting demonstration at 1 p.m., Monday, July 27 in the Library Activity Center, located behind the cultural hall at the Pine Community Center. The public is invited. Ahrendt has a master’s degree in art history from Arizona State and has studied at the Cleveland Art Institute and the Munich Fine Arts Academy of Creative Art. Ahrendt contributed to 40 issues of the Arizona Highways magazine. Buckshot in the library

The Isabelle Hunt Memorial Library will host Buckshot Dot (Dee Strickland Johnson) from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 15 in the library. She is a female cowboy poet, author and artist who also claims to be a “Hysterical Relic.” Official Arizona State Historian Marshall Trimble once said of her, “The only thing better than reading Dee’s poems is to sit in the audience and watch her perform them.” Dee has published five records of Western classics, original songs and poems and has written several books. She is a favorite around the state at cowboy poetry gatherings and says she performs professionally, “for the love of it.” Refreshments will be served at Dee’s appearance. Also at the library, which we

“Pine Cones” can proudly call the best small-town library in the state, a book discussion will be held at 10:30 a.m. or 5:30 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 20. Exact time will be announced soon. To be discussed is “The Blind Eye A Sephardic Journey” by Marcia Fine. Copies are available at the library. This novel centers on the struggles of Jews as they are expelled from Spain by Queen Isabella and again five years later from Portugal. The cruelty the Jews suffer, because of their faith, at the hands of so-called “Christians” is sure to shake the reader. Few in small-town Arizona probably know much about the Sephardic Jews, so reading the book could be both heartbreaking and inspiring. School daze

Thanks to a grant from the Arizona School Facilities Board (these are extremely tough to secure), some improvements are underway on the Pine Strawberry School campus. The old basketball court on the east side of the school building has been removed and will be replaced with a new court. The old court was weathered and cracked from years and years of use. Also an HVAC unit with its own thermostat has been added to the computer lab and the rubber coating on the cafeteria steps has been replaced. Principal Cody Barlow says there are more maintenance and upgrade projects to be done. “We have applied for a grant to replace the crack in the gym floor, but it hasn’t been approved yet.” Don’t forget parents and children, the 2015-16 school year officially begins Monday, Aug. 3.

Rio Rico’s LL president, Dist. 8 administrator to blame From page 1B scared.” That’s what Rasmussen is upset about. She says that’s not the case. “I’m not fluent in it, but I can speak Spanish and I’m not afraid of people who speak Spanish,” she said. “There are very few things I’m afraid of. I was not afraid at any time.” She said she called the Payson Police Department just to be safe. Two officers arrived but didn’t interact with Rio Rico coaches, players or parents, according to Rasmussen, Schneider and a police department spokesman. A Tucson television station said Rio Rico parents claimed six police officers escorted the Rio Rico players off the field. A Rio Rico coach and the District 8 administrator are both quoted in a story on TucsonNewsNow.com as saying six officers escorted the team off the field. But that doesn’t seem to be the case. “I did call the police but not 911, I called the police administration number and asked if I could have an officer on standby just in case there was a problem,” Rasmussen said. “But there was no problem and the police officers left. Some of the Rio Rico boys were crying and some were smiling and posing for pictures on the mound. It was all good.” Mullaney arrived from Flagstaff about a half hour after Rasmussen talked to the Rio Rico coaches, she said. Rasmussen said she could understand the Rio Rico parents being upset with the District 8 administrator and the Rio Rico Little League president for allowing the team and their families to spend the money to travel all the way to Payson for a weeklong tournament when they didn’t have their paperwork in order. “I was not afraid of (Rio Rico

coaches) at any time,” she said. “I was more concerned about parents — that there could be a problem with people being upset. They traveled a long way. I would have been upset as a parent if I had driven a long way.” Rasmussen didn’t want to see another incident like the one that happened at Rumsey Park in April when a parent and coaches were involved in an altercation. “We already had one incident and I didn’t want that to happen again,” she said. “I don’t want violence of any kind at Little League games. “It’s about the kids. It was heartbreaking to see the boys in tears. It’s not the kids’ fault. It’s simply because adults did not do their due diligence. It’s the district administrator and their league president that allowed this to happen, just like I was responsible for making sure my coaches had their games in and tournament books were in order. Their book was not in order.” Rio Rico beat Flowing Wells in the second round of the tournament on July 11 after receiving a first-round bye in the five-team double-elimination tournament. Flowing Wells protested the game, which delayed the first pitch. They claimed Rio Rico hadn’t turned in their paperwork by the deadline. “They did not bring their coaches book to the mandatory coaches meeting on (July 9) before the tournament started on (July 10),” Rasmussen said. “(Little League) West Regional (headquarters in San Bernardino, Calif.) directed that the game be played and that (Little League International in) Williamsport would be ruling before the next game scheduled on Monday.” Deer Valley wound up winning the state tournament in Payson and advancing to the West Regional in Nogales.

BISHOP REALTY

With many of the federal mandates required by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which are enforced because of the Endangered Species Act, this relatively new hybrid trout fits the criteria of not being able to reproduce in the clear water streams of the West and any lake tributaries. These hybrids can be created when a male brook trout and a female German brown inhabit the same stream spawning beds. This natural reproduction has been documented in Wisconsin, Michigan and Massachusetts, but on a very limited level. In a controlled environment at a hatchery it is very successful. This could develop into a real boom for sportfishing in the Rim Country where there is such a demand and constant fishing pressure on the streams and lakes. This will benefit recreational anglers in so many ways

in addition to offering a new trout to challenge the avid fly-fishermen in the state. The fighting ability of this fish when hooked and its predatory aggressiveness will certainly benefit the thousands of sporting anglers in Arizona. Congratulations, to the visionaries in the Fishery Division that encouraged this experiment, which can only improve fishing if allowed to expand to the other lakes and streams in the state. If you haven’t had a chance, visit the Tonto Fish Hatchery and check out the raceway filled with fingerling tiger trout. There are many helpful employees who visit with the public while they are busy with their daily routine of raising trout. This weekend introduce someone new to sport fishing and enjoy one of the many lakes and streams along the Mogollon Rim, God’s creation.
