Pine water struggling

Lightning strikes HOME

Board won’t seek restitution from treasurer by

Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

The Pine-Strawberry Water Improvement District continues to struggle with the fallout from the bombshell indictment of former treasurer and board member Mike Greer.

At its meeting on Aug. 18, the board discussed what to do next, with Greer’s preliminary hearing on eight criminal charges set for next month.

Many audience members left the meeting frustrated at the lack of clear-cut changes in the board’s procedures, despite Greer’s misuse of credit cards, conflicts of interest and questionable contracts.

The board did vote to hire independent auditor Heinfeld, Meech & Co. to review PSWID’s policies

concerning conflict of interest, purchasing and credit cards, accounts payable and bank reconciliation policies and procedures.

Board chairman Rus Brock summarized a letter from the auditor general’s office that offered a few choices for the board, which technically qualifies as the victim in the case.

“You have a copy of the letter that came from the office of the auditor general and a form that I have to fill out regarding any out-of-pocket expenses the district is experiencing that we were not reimbursed that we can prove,” said Brock.

Pam Mason, a Pine resident and longtime district critic, urged the board to seek restitution.

A home in Ellison Creek caught fire Thursday night after it was struck by lightning, damaging the electrical system and leaving burn marks throughout the home.

The Hellsgate Fire Department was called to the home on Squirrel Nest Lane just after 6:30 p.m. after the homeowner smelled smoke and saw flames in his home in Ellison Creek Estates.

A bolt of lightning appeared to have struck the outside of the red, two-story home. Fire spread through the walls and into the ceiling and attic space, said Fire Chief Dave Bathke.

Using a pot of water, the homeowner poured water from a second story window on to the flames on the corner of the home.

When they arrived, firefighters went inside and pulled down the ceiling and drywall in the corner and put the fire out before it could spread to the rest of the home.

The fire caused smoke damage and the lightning bolt caused damage to the home’s electrical system, leaving burn marks throughout the home where the lightning traveled.

Luckily, the homeowner had just happened to come up this weekend. Otherwise, the home would have likely gone up in flames before anyone noticed.

Given the amount of lightning in the area, Bathke recommended homeowners install a whole-house surge protector.

No one was injured.

Candidates contend Corporation Commission hopefuls defend stance on dark money by

Teresa McQuerrey

roundup staff reporter

Two of the three former Arizona legislators with their hats in the ring for election to the Corporation Commission spoke to the Payson Tea Party Tuesday, Aug. 16.

Incumbent Andy Tobin, a former House speaker appointed by Gov. Doug Ducey in January and former state senator Al Melvin are running as a slate along with former state lawmaker Rick Gray, who served as House majority whip.

Tobin and Melvin spoke to the Payson Tea Party.

Tobin said the Arizona Corporation Commission is the state’s largest bureaucracy. It oversees utilities, corporations and even the railroads.

“There are 2,500 railroad crossings

in Arizona and there is only one guy that inspects them all, but there are a lot of lawyers at the ACC,” Tobin said.

In fact, he pointed out the number of attorneys at the ACC a couple of times, prefacing with, “There are a lot of good people down there, but there are a lot of lawyers.”

Tobin, Melvin and Gray have all spurred criticism for saying they would not force Arizona Public Service to divulge its political spending. Tobin has also drawn criticism for getting a law through the Legislature he once controlled as speaker to overrule a Corporation Commission attorney who said Tobin should not vote on issues potentially affecting family members, who work for utility companies.

Tobin said his goal is to make the

Whispering Pines, Beaver Valley may merge to reduce costs by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

On Saturday, the Whispering Pines and Beaver Valley fire districts cooperated to haul a woman from Water Wheel after she jumped in and broke her leg.

The team carried the woman a mile from the East Verde River to the Houston Mesa Road where a Native Air helicopter landed and flew her to a Flagstaff hospital.

The two districts have worked together for years to help the area’s residents and visitors. Soon, they may operate under a common name as they work to consolidate the two districts into one.

Both districts have struggled to maintain service in spite of a drop in revenue due to a fall in assessed values and the move could solve many of their problems.

In September, both districts will hold a public hearing for the consideration of consolidation. In Beaver Valley, the meeting will be at 10 a.m. Sept. 24 at station 91. In Whispering Pines, the meeting will be

The Whispering Pines and Beaver Valley fire departments cooperated Saturday on the rescue of a woman who broke her leg at Water Wheel.

at 6 p.m. Sept. 24 at station 71.

Whispering Pines Fire Chief Ron Sattelmaier said the consolidation just makes sense both for the district and residents.

Currently, Whispering Pines staffs its station with one firefighter around the clock seven days a week.

When a call comes in for service, additional firefighters are called in to help.

In Beaver Valley, the station volunteers answer calls. This means it can sometimes take longer to respond since no one is sitting at the station.

If consolidated, Beaver Valley residents could expect to see an increase in service with faster response times with the person on duty at the Whispering Pines station responding the three miles to Beaver Valley along with additional firefighters.

Sattelmaier said the districts started talking about consolidating seriously in May. “The biggest issue is finances because assessed values have dropped and they have not recovered like we hoped,” he said in a phone interview.

“We are both working to maintain levels of service.

It is a struggle.”

Sattelmaier said the cost of running a fire district has risen, from insurance to equipment and training.

Rodeo Parade has it all Story and Photos by Michele Nelson roundup staff reporter

The annual Rodeo Parade draws folks back home to watch friends and family on floats or horses, in cars or on foot.

This year, the Kiwanis Club of Payson wrangled 57 entries into a parade that warmed the heart with its hometown charm.

English Bulldog Jesse watched the parade with his parents, Lacy and Mike Paheco from Colorado Springs, Colo. The Pahecos came to visit Lacy’s parents.

She grew up in Payson and graduated from Payson High School. They dressed Jesse in a dapper blue bandanna.

“He goes everywhere we go,” said Lacy, “even elk hunting.”

Jesse gets a lot of attention wherever he goes.

“Jesse was in the Colorado Springs paper last month,” said Lacy.

The parade had entries from the APS clowns to the Fiesta Bowl, FFA and the Payson High School Marching Band, the Hashknife Pony Express and the U.S. Forest Service,

From page 1

Bing Brown took this photo of the airlift of a woman who broke her leg at Water Wheel. The rescue drew units from both Beaver Valley and Whispering Pines fire departments. The two small departments are discussing a merger to save money in the wake of a drop in home values that spurred a financial crisis for both.

Fire departments consider merger From page 1 The consolidation would cut costs, with a single chief and one administrator. Currently, Whispering Pines pays Sattelmaier and an administrator. In Beaver Valley, Chief Mike Williamson is paid along with two people who share admin duties.

The merger would potentially eliminate the jobs of Williamson and of the two administrative positions as Whispering Pines absorbs the district.

Current plans call for keeping Sattelmaier on as chief. Williamson already works as a firefighter with Whispering Pines and would likely stay on in that position.

Whispering Pines would be renamed to reflect the regional fire district.

The dozen or so volunteer firefighters in Beaver Valley could apply to work in the new district.

Currently, Whispering Pines has 15 firefighters.

“If everything works out, we would keep them all,” he said.

The only negative in the deal, Sattelmaier said, is

Beaver Valley residents would see a 5 cent increase in their tax rate. Someone with a $100,000 home would see a $5 increase in their tax bill.

After the first year, however, the rate may go back down, Sattelmaier said.

The Beaver Valley and Whispering Pines fire boards are working carefully through the consolidation process.

“We want to give residents the opportunity to voice their concerns,” he said.

Last year, Whispering Pines had several major accomplishments including, constructing fire station 72 in Rim Trail and adding two type-one engines to its fleet to improve structural firefighting capabilities.

“Thanks to improvements to the facilities, equipment and training, the Insurance Services Office (ISO) score dropped from a 9/10 to a 5/10 for many property owners in the district. That should save homeowners money on their fire insurance.”

In the next three to four years, the district hopes to build a fire station in Bonita Creek.

Trey Nahrgang brought his whole family to watch the parade before he competed in steer wrestling in the evening.

Trey, a Montana native, married Payson local Shea (she said people know her as Candace) and they have three children, McKinley (6), McCoy (4) and McRae (1).

Shea said her mom, Ms. Johnson, still teaches up at the Pine-Strawberry Elementary School.

Trey set up everyone in the back of the family pickup truck shaded by a huge umbrella.

McRae had the place of honor in the middle comfortably ensconced in his car seat.

The couple met at a rodeo.

Trey has been competing since.

When asked if he had inju-

As a side job to fund his rodeo competitions, Trey works at a utility company in the Valley.

They were more than happy to get out of the heat.

Payson crafts rules for community districts by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

Although the process to pass a Community Facilities District would be as lengthy as Main Street is long, the Payson council Thursday night approved a way for a developer to get funding for improvement work.

The council approved a Community Facilities District (CFD) policy laying out how a developer or business owner would go about crafting a CFD and passing a bond to fund improvement work, such as the American Gulch project. That project calls for adding a biking/walking path and park along what is now just an overgrown drainage that runs the length of Main Street. Some feel improving the gulch would attract new businesses and make Main Street a destination and not just a pass through on the way to Green Valley Park.

The plan to fix the gulch could cost millions. A CFD would spread the costs out over all the property owners likely to benefit.

First, a person or entity must apply to create a CFD. The town cannot form its own CFD. So far, no one has turned in the paperwork for a CFD. Communities in the Valley and

Prescott Valley have already created CFDs. One district in Prescott, established in 2006, includes various parking, access and sidewalk improvements to businesses off Highway 69.

Under the new policy, an applicant would have to pay a $10,000 application fee and provide an additional $25,000 deposit for the town to review the application and the formation and administration of the CFD. The applicant would then have to outline the proposed improvements and complete a feasibility study. This would assure the work would benefit the business or residents in the district at a reasonable cost. It would most likely not make sense, for example, for the town to approve a $20 million bond for the American Gulch with only a few businesses helping to pay it back.

Before filing a petition, the applicant would have to get the approval of 25 percent of the owners within the proposed CFD. Actually establishing the CFD would require the approval of at least 50 percent of the property owners within that district.

If the town council did not think the CFD was right for the town, they could deny it.

One resident worried the CFD

would raise his taxes.

Councilor Rick Croy said the council wasn’t approving a CFD, just the approval process. If the town receives

an application, the community would have lots of opportunities to weigh in.

Sheila DeSchaaf, with community development, said this policy just

sets the expectations and is a starting point.

She said the process to establish a CFD is lengthy.

Three Payson Town Council candidates responded to a Roundup request to weigh in on Community Facilities Districts. Hallie Overman Jackman and incumbent Rick Croy did not respond. The following responses are printed unedited.

icy, I would want more information pursuant to how the fees and guidelines compare to those policies of towns of comparable size, population and demographics.

paid off. This would allow for major projects to be constructed without impacting others in the community.

This would be a win-win for the businesses and the town to be able to get these major projects completed.

Council candidates weigh in Kim Chittick

I think that a CFD could be a good thing to ensure completion of a designated project in a timely and cost-efficient manner, as well as ensuring due consideration to all concerned parties. The policy as set forth appears to be comprehensive and to cover most eventualities.

However, if I were voting on this pol-

Barbara Underwood

One of my goals as a future council member is to support and promote local businesses. I am in favor of the proposed Community Facilities District Policy.

This would allow a group of property owners to come together and form a Community Facilities District.

The group could then go out and bond for the improvements and levy the group’s property until the bonds are

Janell Sterner

I think a CFD if properly done, with citizen committee input, would benefit Payson that would enhance the infrastructure of new development such as the American Gulch.

The only concern I have would be is the town committed to the lasting consequences of its own bonding and standing in the debt marketplace if the project fails?

Dog owners ignoring laws about pooches in markets by

Keith Morris

roundup staff reporter

The man carried his Labrador retriever puppy into the grocery store, found a cart and sat the dog in the space designed to hold toddlers and easily damaged food.

He certainly couldn’t leave his precious pet in the hot car while he shopped.

He tried to conceal the animal when he saw a store employee walking in his direction.

Every summer managers at Payson’s three area grocery stores must deal with people bringing dogs into their businesses.

Not the legally allowed assistance dogs mind you, but your run of the mill canines that couldn’t assist a flea.

The problem seems to center mainly around out-of-town folks either on vacation or just away from home for a

day or weekend not wanting to leave their pets in a hot car while they shop.

That’s admirable because it’s cruel and inhumane and also illegal in Arizona to leave your dog alone in a hot car when physical injury to or death of the animal is the likely result.

That’s why you shouldn’t take dogs with you to the store on hot days unless you have someone who can stay in the car with them with the air conditioning on.

If not, leave them home.

That’s the problem for many folks who are out of town and can’t or simply don’t want to leave the pet at home.

So, many of them simply take them into the store with them.

But that’s a violation of federal law to bring non-service animals into grocery stores.

The Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) allows customers to shop

with their assistance dogs.

Safeway’s Nancy Keane said her company takes this situation very seriously.

“From time to time we receive complaints from customers regarding service animals and pets in our stores,” she said. “We allow service animals in our stores for our customers who need them.

“But these animals have to be kept away from certain areas in the store (such as food preparation areas) and from riding in shopping carts where they may come into direct contact with food.

“At Albertsons and Safeway sanitation and food safety is a top priority.

We cannot allow a situation that will pose a direct threat to the health or safety of our customers.”

Most grocery store chains welcome customers who need to bring service

animals into their stores.

“Of course we welcome assistance dogs in our stores,” said Rob Johnson, customer relations manager for Bashas’ in the company’s headquarters in Chandler.

He said Bashas’ employees are instructed how to handle situations involving customers with dogs.

“You can ask them, ‘is that a service dog,’” Johnson said. “If they say it is, you’re permitted to ask what service the dog is there to perform. If they answer both of those questions (adequately) they can stay in the store with their dog.”

He said providing comfort is not a service that’s allowed under the law.

“What are called comfort animals are not permitted,” Johnson said.

“People sometimes claim it is a service dog but if it’s a comforting kind of companion animal, like for emotional

support, the ADA does not cover those.

Those don’t pass muster. They are not recognized on the ADA as a legitimate service dog.”

If one of his employees faces that situation, Johnson said Bashas’ employees have been instructed how to proceed. “They’ll apologize and let them know, ‘we want your patronage, but that pet cannot come into the store,’” he said.

But there’s little a store employee can do if the person lies about the service the dog is performing. “The dog isn’t required to have identification,” Johnson said. “The ADA is very open and lenient about that. It’s up to us to hopefully get truthful answers. There isn’t anything a person with a service dog is required to show, it’s kind of an honor system. It’s not like when a cop pulls you over and asks for your ID and registration.”

Candidates defend stance on ‘dark money’ disclosure From page 1 ACC better, smaller and serve the public in a more efficient way.

He insisted he, Melvin and Gray did not form a coalition to beat fellow Republican Bob Burns, who is largely basing his campaign on a battle against “dark money” — claiming massive contributions from APS were used to get incumbent Republicans Doug Little and Tom Forese elected to the ACC in the last election.

APS reportedly spent millions in a dark money campaign on behalf of Little and Forese, who have since repeatedly supported APS requests in its long-running war with solar energy companies.

The U.S. Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision allowed corporations and special interest groups to spend as much money as they like to influence elections without disclosing the source or their spending. The court

left the door open to lawmakers to at least require disclosures, but the Arizona Legislature instead repealed the few restraints that existed and left it up to the federal Internal Revenue Service to determine whether a dark money group qualified for exemptions for campaign spending and disclosure laws.

Burns has pushed hard to force APS to disclose what it spent two years ago. APS has refused, citing its free speech rights to spend as much money as it liked without disclosure under the terms of Citizens United.

Burns got an Arizona attorney general’s opinion saying as an ACC commissioner he had a right to look at the APS books, but other commissioners refused to support his request.

Burns then attempted to hire a private investigator to look into the APS political spending, but the other ACC commissioners refused to support that request also.

Community garden hosts food preservation class by

Have bushels of beans? How about pecks of peppers? Tons of tomatoes?

Well, the Payson Community Garden has a class for you.

At 6 p.m., Tuesday, Aug. 23 at the Church of the Nazarene, canning and dehydrating pros will teach Rim Country gardeners how to do the water bath and high-pressure canning methods.

They will also tell folks how to find the best dehydrator.

One aficionado said she makes all the dried food her husband takes out on his hunting trips by dehydrating.

Saves tons of money.

Learn expert tips and pick up packets of information to help make canning easy and possible.

Beginners will feel like pros putting up all the bounty of their gardens to enjoy all year.

Tobin said Burns is benefiting from large contributions from the solar industry — he said it amounts to about $500,000 — while Melvin and Gray are both declared Clean Elections candidates and he (Tobin) is using his own money and some supporter contributions.

Solar companies two years ago also spent money to influence elections, but only a fraction of the reputed APS campaign. The solar companies used a different provision of the law that did require them to disclose their spending.

Neither campaign is supposed to coordinate its efforts directly with the candidates involved.

The FBI is currently investigating the Corporation Commission and APS to determine whether anyone violated campaign laws.

Controversy has swirled around the commission for months because one sitting commissioner sent hundreds of emails to Little, Forese and APS officials during the campaign which he subsequently erased. Critics maintain the emails could have violated the law by effectively coordinating the APS dark money campaign with the campaigns of Forese and Little.

Material passed out at the Tea Party meeting by Melvin, stated that every lawsuit brought to prove the case on dark money has been lost and, “After months of harassment and bullying commissioners, there has been no evidence of any wrongdoing.”

“The Republican commissioners are stellar public servants,” Melvin said.

He said his goal is to fight the attempts to turn the nation into a welfare state.

Teresa McQuerrey/Roundup

Former state lawmakers Andy Tobin (left) and Al Melvin are running in the Republican primary for seats on the Arizona Corporation Commission.

They’re running as a team and both oppose requiring APS to reveal how much it spent on a dark money political campaign on behalf of two incumbent ACC commissioners two years ago.

“We can help put people back to work with reliable and affordable water and power.”

Melvin said nuclear power has been used by the U.S. Navy in its aircraft carriers, submarines, etc., for 60 years without injury or death. “It has a role in the future (of energy production).”

He said the future for a secure supply of water has to come from using the latest in desalinization technology, developed in Israel, in the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific, working with Sonora and Baja, Mexico. His proposal is to give Sonora and Baja the rights to the desalinized water in

exchange for their rights to Colorado River water to be used by the Central Arizona Project.

Tied to that, he is working to get all the federal lands in the West turned over to the states, Melvin said.

APS is currently seeking an 8 percent rate increase. It also wants to impose extra charges on homeowners with solar power systems and pay far less when it buys excess power from those solar systems.

Two Democrats are running unopposed in their primary. Former lawmakers Tom Chabin and Bill Mundell both say they would vote to force APS to disclose its dark money spending.

Hansen named Officer of the Year by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

He handles everything from attempted murder to counterfeit cases.

Last week, Payson Police Det. Michael Hansen was recognized as the Officer of the Year.

The Rim Country Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution bestowed the honor on Hansen after Police Chief Don Engler and the administrative staff at the PPD nominated him for the award.

Engler said in the past year, Hansen has handled a number of important cases.

He investigated an attempted murder case where a man stabbed his mother’s boyfriend and assaulted her. That man recently pleaded guilty and received 20 years in prison.

In Star Valley, Hansen investigated a couple making fictitious drivers licenses and gift certificates and committing identity theft.

That case is expected to go to trail in a few months. In another fraud case, a suspect was making counterfeit money.

Hansen also investigated an elder abuse case after a son reportedly abandoned his wheelchair-bound mother in Payson.

Engler said Hansen is an excellent detective. No matter when he is called on, including the morning of the award to investigate a burglary, Hansen shows up with a smile.

Engler said what impresses him most is that Hansen sincerely cares about the community and is doing the work “for the right reasons.”

Last year, Officer Michael McAnerny received the award.

Future small projects may bypass P&Z by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

The Town of Payson is making the abandonment process a little easier.

At the last council meeting, the council held a first public hearing to amend the unified development code’s procedures to abandon town rights-of-way and easements.

Recently, a homeowner asked the town to abandon a portion of land on his property so he could build a garage off his home. The garage will sit on what is currently the town’s right-of-use. The town has the right-of-use because of a small

ditch that runs down the side of his property. However, the town does not need the entire width of the section to reach the ditch, so it is appropriate to let him have some of that land back to build a garage, said LaRon Garrett, town manager.

In the past, the abandonment process was quite “onerous,” said Sheila DeSchaaf, with Community Development.

First, the project would have to go to engineering for approval, then the Planning and Zoning Commission and finally, the town council.

DeSchaaf said the Planning and Zoning Commission would

be taken out of the process to speed up the process, going from 90 days to 60 days approval.

DeSchaaf and Garrett said for larger or complicated projects, they would still go to Planning and Zoning and the community could still weigh in.

Mayor Kenny Evans said the change to the UDC would apply to small tracks of land.

Also at the recent meeting, the council voted unanimously to send a favorable recommendation to the Arizona State Liquor Board for Ayothaya Thai Café, 136 E. Highway 260, to receive a liquor license.

The Payson Tea Party heard from more Star Valley Town Council candidates Aug. 16.

Incumbent councilor George Binney and challenger Bobby Davis spoke. Three seats on the Star Valley Council held

by Binney, Gary Coon and Barbara Hartwell are up for election in the Aug. 30 primary this year.

Coon and Hartwell spoke to the Tea Party Aug. 9.

Also seeking a seat on the council is Ray Armington, who was scheduled to attend the Aug. 16 program, but could not make it due to breaking his foot, according to Binney.

Both Binney and Davis believe the Town of Star Valley council and staff are doing a good job of operating efficiently within the town’s means.

Binney said he loves serving on the council and believes it has done a lot of good in the eight years he has been a member. He said in the beginning the town was headed down a bad path with the professional town managers that had been hired to first run the town. When first elected, he wanted to make sure the

manager was someone local with a vested interest in the community. He said he fought hard to hire Tim Grier who he said has done an excellent job with his small staff running a very tight ship.

Binney said he believes in limited government and taking care of the public. Although the town lost money when the state banned photo enforcement programs, Binney thinks the community will be fine. He said the council will just have to scrutinize expenditures more closely.

Davis said he is running for a seat on the Star Valley Town Council because he believes it needs new blood. “It has done an excellent job and I want to be part of that team,” he said.

If elected, he said he would

work to expand tourism opportunities in the community with a special emphasis on developing hiking and off-roading trails.

“A mountain biker who is in town for just a day spends about $97; if they stay overnight, they spend more than $200,” Davis explained.

He said he would like to work to help find more grants to improve the town’s infrastructure, especially in regard to sewer and water. Until these services are available, it will be difficult to bring any sizable businesses into the town to help it grow. The lack of adequate infrastructure could also hinder the development of more housing stock in the community.

Guevara sentenced on DUI, drug charges Reynaldo Guevara, 36, will do prison time after convictions for Aggravated DUI and Possession of Marijuana. Gila County Superior Court Judge Timothy M. Wright sentenced Guevara to two years in the Arizona Department of Corrections for driving drunk on a suspended license and placed Guevara on probation for two years for Possession of Marijuana.

On Sept. 3, 2015, Guevara was pulled over for a traffic stop by an Arizona Department of

Public Safety Officer. The officer smelled the odor of alcohol and observed signs of impairment. Blood test results confirmed Guevara had THC, an active metabolite of marijuana, in his blood while he was driving. Guevara also had a bag of marijuana. A young child was riding in the car at the time.

Guevara also had a prior felony conviction for Possession of a Forgery Device in Maricopa County in 2012.

Valley man sentenced for weapons misconduct A Valley man will spend the next two years in prison for resisting arrest and weapons misconduct.

On Oct. 25, officers with the Payson Police Department stopped a vehicle for speeding.

Daniel Arnold Marquez, who was a passenger, gave officers a fictitious name. Officers later identified him and learned that he had a parole violation war-

rant.

Marquez struggled with officers as they placed him under arrest.

During the subsequent investigation, officers discovered a firearm inside the vehicle and one of the occupants stated that it belonged to Marquez, according to Deputy Gila County Attorney Robert Swinford, who handled the

case.

As part of the plea, Marquez admitted to prior felony convictions and received an enhanced sentencing range.

On July 11, Judge Tim Wright sentenced Marquez to two years in the Arizona Department of Corrections and he will be placed on supervised probation for 24 months after his release from prison.

Hoover Dam power deal could save Payson $1.8M by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

Thanks to an allotment of hydro-electric power from the Hoover Dam, Payson should save at least $1.8 million over the next 50 years.

A consultant with Current Insight, Inc., a consulting company that helped the town acquire the power, told the council Thursday night the town might end up saving even more.

The Department of Energy Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) and Arizona Power Authority (APA) granted the town with 292 kWh of Hoover power, which the town will receive for the next 50 years, covering more than 10 percent of the town’s power use.

This is the first time the town has sought power from the Hoover Dam. Located between Arizona and Nevada, on the Colorado River, Hoover Dam has a hydroelectric generating plant. Power from that plant powers much of Los Angeles and other communities in California, Arizona and

Nevada. The power generated costs about 75 percent less than overall market prices, according to Current Insight.

Current Hoover power contracts signed in 1987 will expire soon. So the WAPA announced a portion of Hoover power would go to customers that had never received an allocation.

In 2014, Payson applied for and later received a small allocation, along with 19 other communities in Arizona, including Sedona and Globe.

Payson will get enough electricity to power 58 homes for a year. The town will use the power for its own electric bills.

None will go to homeowners.

The town will pay 2.5 cents a kilowatt hour for power to the APA and receive a credit from APS of 6.6 cents a kilowatt hour.

Roughly 100,000 kWh of energy would generate a $4,100 savings.

The town will pay some upfront costs, but save at least $2 million on its energy costs over the life of the contract.

Hero of Payson —

Award program begins with airport manager, donor by

roundup staff reporter

In an effort to recognize town employees who go above and beyond, the Town of Payson has started a Hero of Payson award program.

On Thursday night, Aug. 4, the town council recognized Ray Law, Payson Municipal Airport coordinator, and Dennis Dueker as the first Hero award recipients.

Law and Dueker received the award after the town received a thank you letter from pilot Ken Foote of Prescott.

Foote wrote that he and his family often land at the Payson Airport, eat at the Crosswinds Restaurant, then camp at the airport campground. The next day, they usually eat breakfast at Crosswinds and fly home.

In November, several people donated money for the town to buy a used courtesy vehicle for pilots to use when they land in Payson. Law helped set up the rental program.

Foote wrote in July, his family finally got to explore the area outside the airport. They went to Woods Canyon Lake, the

Tonto Natural Bridge and other sites. They spent three nights in town and spent about $500.

Foote commended the town and airport for getting the car and said Law and Dueker always goes out of their way to make him feel welcome.

He said landing in Payson

is always an enjoyable experience.

Law said he was “absolutely honored” to receive the award.

He also recalled when the runway was gravel.

Dueker took several of Law’s children for horseback rides on his Clydesdale horses

at Dueker Ranch.

To use Payson’s courtesy vehicle, pilots fill out a one-page application. The car is loaned on a first-come, first-served basis. Call 928-472-4748 to reserve it. There is no charge, but pilots are asked to return it with a full tank of gas.

for an outstanding probation violation warrant.

Backus also had marijuana at the time of his arrest.

Backus’ criminal history includes three prior felony convictions for burglary and two felony drug convictions, according to Deputy County Attorney Duncan J. Rose, who prosecuted the case.

On Aug. 8, Judge Timothy M. Wright sentenced Backus to 1.75 years in the Arizona Department of Corrections for criminal impersonation and 24 months of probation for possession of drug paraphernalia.

Score another win for Michael Bonnette and the Rim Country Mountain Bike Association — now recognized as the mountain bike club of the Rim Country area on MTB Project’s website and application.

“Our club is now officially recognized by MTB Project and I am in the process of sending over .gpx files to them and writing out trail descriptions so we can have our area trails listed on their app,” said Bonnette.

MTB Project started in 2013 with the idea that local riders, who know the ins and outs of trails, can share photos, videos and GPS created maps on an application for other riders.

MTB goes beyond traditional trail maps that simply show a single trail. It has “Featured Rides,” which are described on the website as, “a complete, recommended route that might include parts or all of several trails and maybe even portions of roads to connect them.” (www.mtbproject.com) MTB rates trails from easy (five percent grade) to intermediate to extremely difficult (15 plus percent grade, obstacles and harder sections) and everything in between.

MTB admits it’s different from other mapping sites because it’s a guide — kind of like meeting a local mountain bike rider and downloading the information you’d like to know before you go: descriptions, photos and maps.

MTB has a close relationship with the International Mountain Biking Association. The IMBA staff and members contribute to the MTB database, review and edit the trails and photos uploaded to the site. In return, IMBA uses the MTB data in their advocacy efforts.

Bonnette said with this recognition, mountain bikers from out of town will know that RCMBA takes care of the local trails and hopes to build more.

“Soon, when people ask where to ride in our area, we can turn them on to the app and it will show them how to get there and they can follow it through GPS on their phone so they do not get lost,” said Bonnette.

The images of Payson, mostly from the 1950s, have a certain familiar feel to them. Above is Main Street and McLane (the Peiper Mansion and Ox Bow on the left) — it looks a little wider than it seems today. Standing in line at the post office, at left, when it was just a small, enclosed area at a local market on the south side of Main, across from the Payson Womans Club. Then came the paving of the Beeline in the late 1950s, below left, and the nature of Payson was changed from a small, isolated mountain community, to the busy town it is today. One of the most “recent” images in the collection is the aftermath of the 1970 Labor Day Flood, below right.

Visit old Payson through pictures by

Teresa McQuerrey

roundup staff reporter

A Payson that only a few old-timers remember is captured in an incredible new exhibit at the Rim Country Museum.

The Nyle Burnham Leatham Collection opens at 1 p.m. today, Tuesday, Aug. 23 at the museum in Green Valley Park.

The public is invited to attend the opening.

The event will be interactive as attendees of the opening will have an opportunity to help identify people featured in these vintage photos.

Leatham’s widow, Carol, donated more than 1,000 negatives of her husband’s work, images of life in and around Payson, primarily from the 1950s, to the Rim Country Museum. About 60 images were selected for the display.

She plans to attend the opening of this wonderful exhibit made possible by her donation.

Refreshments will served.

The special exhibit will remain on display until another new program is launched.

Leatham started taking photos as a student at Mesa High School and refined his skills with the U.S. Air Force, doing both aerial and still photography.

He made a name for himself as a photographer working with publications such as “Arizona Highways,” the “Arizona Republic,” and “Arizona Adventure.” Leatham went on

Photo from NGC Historical Society

Nyle Burnham Leatham

to worldwide acclaim with his work displayed in national and international periodicals and books.

Leatham didn’t just pass through Payson and the Rim Country with camera in hand.

He and his wife, Carol, actually moved to Round Valley in 1950 from Mesa and later moved into Payson, where they lived until Leatham went into the Air Force. He had a number of stateside assignments and then was sent to North Africa, the Far East and Japan.

Once out of the USAF, the couple came back to Payson and during that time is when he took most of the photos the Rim Country Museum will display. Leatham then moved on again, but eventually spent a few of his retirement years in the community.

Historical society volunteer

Wayne Walter writes, “The Nyle Burnham Leatham Collection is one of many collections stored and preserved in the Northern Gila County Historical Society’s archival department. These are collections relevant to the history of Payson … Nyle Burnham Leatham captured the people, places and things of the Payson community as no one before or since. He has made an imprint, a record, of Payson that will likely last forever.”

Among the most “recent” Rim Country photos in the exhibit are images Leatham captured after the deadly 1970 Labor Day Flood, which claimed more than 20 lives.

A monument to that tragedy is being erected on the museum grounds at Green Valley Park. It is scheduled for dedication the morning of Saturday, Sept. 3.

Rim Country Museum The Rim Country Museum is in Green Valley Park and recently celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Northern Gila County Historical Society, which owns and operates the facility.

The museum complex includes the old Payson Ranger Station of the Tonto National Forest and ranger’s residence.

The residence now houses a wonderful gift shop and a portion of the actual ranger station building houses the Marguerite Noble Library, where historic documents are kept; an exhibit of the old ranger station

operation is planned for the other portion of the building.

The library facility is open by appointment for research.

The centerpiece of the museum grounds is a replica of The Herron Hotel, where guests will find the exhibits. The original two-story hotel building was on Main Street in the early 1900s. There are exhibits on both floors of the building, with handicap access to the second floor via a stair-climbing electronic chair.

The grounds also include a replica of the Zane Grey Cabin, destroyed by the 1990 Dude Fire, along with the actual Henry and Sarah Haught cabin.

The Northern Gila County Historical Society Rim Country Museum complex is at 700 S. Green Valley Parkway, Payson, Ariz., 928-474-3483.

The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday and from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday and is closed Tuesday and major holidays.

Admission is $5 for adults; $4 for seniors, 55 and older; $3 for students, 12 to 18; and free for children under 12.

Groups of 10 or more can make arrangements in advance for special group pricing and to ensure tour guides are available.

Admission includes a guided tour through the Zane Grey Cabin and the Rim Country Museum.

The society is an affiliate of the Arizona Historical Society.

The Payson Fly Casters and Trout Unlimited groups meet at 9 a.m., Saturday, Aug. 27 at Tiny’s Restaurant, 600 E. Hwy. 260, Payson. Come earlier and enjoy a great breakfast.

The program will include a short video on how trout eggs are produced and distributed to area schools from the Tonto Hatchery, a hands-on demonstration of making fly fishing lanyards and some practical fly tying examples.

If you have a fly tying vice and tools, bring them along. We will have several sets to borrow.

I WANT TO BE THE FIRST TO KNOW

The three-mile hike to Roosevelt Dam along a section of the Arizona Trail offers great views, a haunting cemetery, a good workout and another angle on a vital piece of Arizona history.

Roosevelt Dam Hike Clouds don’t scare hikers away from beautiful views

The sky was overcast and spits of rain could be felt. We had all checked the forecast that morning, like good little hikers, and the lake area was supposed to be dry. Since it seems that we all check different weather forecasts, we had a long haggle.

Finally deciding to ignore the clouds, we piled into cars at 8:30 a.m. and drove south, then east on Highway 288, heading to the trailhead across the highway from the ranger’s visitor center. No high clearance vehicles today, it was highway all the way to the trailhead.

We saw multiple rainbows on the drive down, including double rainbows with colors all the way to indigo as the dark clouds broke and reformed along the highway.

Reassembled at the trailhead, our first stop was the Pioneer Cemetery, with the graves of workers who died while building Roosevelt Dam. One, a boy, was only 13. The cemetery has rock-lined paths that wind among the graves marked with crosses or just piles of rocks. A few have headstones and name the deceased, one even their profession. I like this cemetery, which has returned to desert — with desert plants and cactus growing on the graves. We saw Engelmann’s prickly pear sporting light yellow blooms and barrel cactus with eye-searing magenta blossoms adorning the workers’ final resting places.

We finally left the cemetery behind, closing the gate behind us. We walked up the hill to the Arizona Trail. Southbound on the Thompson Trail, the AZT heads for Cottonwood Creek.

Northbound, the trail heads for the bridge. Don’t be fooled by the sign at the junction. It’s really 2.8 miles to the bridge.

As we moved along the steep and rocky trail, we saw just about every yellow flower that blooms in Arizona. My Wildflowers of Arizona book didn’t cover even half of the ones we saw along the way.

Most prevalent were the brittlebushes, which turned whole hillsides yellow along with an abundance of desert marigold.

The washes held, among many other flowers, golden crownbeard and hairy desert sunflower. As we circled around the

Roosevelt Dam Hike Trailhead: From Payson, drive Highway 87 south to Highway 288 and drive to Roosevelt Lake, past the bridge, past mile marker 243, and turn to the right where the brown sign tells you to turn left for Roosevelt Lake Visitors Center.

Turn into the access road to the trailer park. Take the first right and park in the cemetery lot. One hour, 50-mile drive from Payson.

Distance: 2.8 miles one-way.

Difficulty: Moderate due to the steep, narrow, rocky trail.

Hiking sticks recommended.

Highlights: Views of the mountains, valley and marina.

Wildflowers in the spring. View of the dam and the informational plaques.

side of the mountain, in shady places in the washes we found bird-bill dayflower.

On the backside of the mountain, we could look over the valley below us, stunning in its dress of yellow. We could see a natural cave in the reddish brown rock to the right and to the left and above it, a mine entrance. Tailings left their mark down the apron of the mountain. Several of our group were tempted to take off over the valley floor and climb up to these curiosities, but decided to save it for another day and a private excursion.

We plodded on, up and up, until we were two-thirds of the way around our mountain. Here, the steep, rocky trail led us down into a wash and up the side of the next mountain. I was glad I had my hiking sticks along. Depending on the micro-climate between these mountains and washes, we found desert globe mallow, mariposa lily, and many others.

We rested at about the halfway point on a high point of land, the lake and the marina on our right, the stunning mountains on the left. By now, the sky had mostly cleared and we were warm from the climb,

a 1,700-foot ascent at the highest point. We snacked to enjoy the view and rest. The final mile was mostly a descent to a wash crossing. Half a mile from the road, we spotted a herd of javelina traveling toward the highway. They obviously didn’t like that we were there, turning to run back up the wash before changing their minds and going back toward the highway. We worried the trail would force us to cross their path: We certainly didn’t want to tangle with javelina guarding their young. We needn’t have worried. By the time we reached the crossing, the javelina were long gone.

After another uphill stretch, we descended to the gate onto the highway.

Here we turned left and walked along the shoulder of Highway 288 to the east a short distance, then 88 to the dam overview parking lot. We had left a car here to take drivers back to the trailhead. While we waited for the cars, we studied the dam and the many informational signs about the original Salt River, the construction and the history of the area.

Standing amidst the flowers, I was glad we hadn’t let the clouds scare us away.

Coach: ‘There’s a lot to work on’ Safford rolls over Longhorns 38-8 by

Keith Morris

roundup sports editor

Starting the season a week early in order to get a week off prior to the 3A East Region opener against mighty Show Low seemed like a good idea weeks ago.

But midway through the third quarter on Friday night most of the Payson High faithful were wishing the game they were watching was merely the scrimmage the Longhorns would normally play at this time of the season.

Payson’s football team certainly has plenty to work on based on what took place in a crushing 38-8 loss to visiting Safford.

“We’ve got one place to go from here and that’s get better,” said Payson head coach Jake Swartwood. “I don’t think we can do much worse than that in the first half.”

Five turnovers and eight penalties for 80 yards doomed the Longhorns, who had to scrimmage against themselves last week because they couldn’t find a team to practice against because most schools don’t open until this week. They simply couldn’t sustain a drive until the game was well out of hand.

Davis ran for two points.

The TD pass was one of just two completions for Davis in 11 attempts, although a couple of passes went off the fingers of Longhorn receivers, as did one of the three interceptions he

threw.

Swartwood praised his young quarterback for hanging in there under pressure all night.

“I’m proud of my sophomore quarterback going out there and weathering a storm understanding that we

were going to leave him in there for the entire time to feel it and see what it was like,” the coach said.

The coach was pleased that his players didn’t hang their heads and managed to avoid the shutout.

“It’s good to get the goose egg off

the scoreboard,” Swartwood said.

“The boys continued to fight hard throughout the game and I’ll take my hat off to them for that. But there’s a lot to work on, for sure.”

Frogs, small paddle-tail swimbaits, jerkbaits and crankbaits are successful for bass chasing schools of bait fish. Huge schools of bait fish are being seen throughout the lake. Bass swimming in schools called wolf packs have also been reported. Typically this is something that happens in late summer and early fall but it could be just beginning to happen on Roosevelt. If you see a group of bass attacking bait fish in deep water, a great technique is to cast a spoon into the school and let it flutter down until a bass attacks what looks like an injured shad. The second successful pattern being reported is a deep water jig or drop-shot technique.

Anglers are reporting bass in the 15 to 25 feet range using a Roboworm or a jig in a green or brown color.

The crappie bite is reported to be good with most anglers believing the full moon phase that just passed as a major contributor. Crappie anglers are catching good numbers of crappie during the morning and evening using a two-inch curly tail grub-tail bait.

Look for crappie schools near submerged bush or a rocky shoreline in 20 to 25 feet of water.

Rim Country trout fishing continues to offer excellent opportunities for skilled and novice anglers. Stocked rainbow trout will mostly stay within a

few hundred yards of the stocking area.

A good pair of polarized sunglasses will permit anglers to see these trout in pools along a stream. Then it’s just a matter of making an accurate cast using PowerBait, a small fly or even a worm to land a perfectly sized trout.

In addition to pools, look for logs, boulders and ledges which are prime trout locations. The summer trout stocking program is winding down and by the end of this month, most stockings will end for Rim County streams.

Have a great week of fishing and I hope to see you on the water.

Payson’s Pirch finishes 12th in bass shoot-out Snags big fish of tournament by

Max Foster

special to the roundup

Fishing in the shadows of the White House and Lincoln Memorial might intimidate some, but not Payson pro Clifford Pirch.

After all, he’s fished the Potomac several times during his professional career, including turning in a top-10 finish in a 2013 FLW tournament.

Just last week he took another stab at fishing the historic river competing in a Bassmaster Elite shoot-out that drew 105 of the most accomplished professional anglers in the world.

Despite facing torrid competition, Pirch snared 12th place with a four-day catch total of 50 pounds, 11 ounces.

He also brought home the tournament’s “Big Fish” award landing a 6-pound, 11-ounce lunker on Saturday, the third

day of competition.

“I caught it about 15 minutes south of (Washington) D.C.,” said Pirch.

For his efforts, he pocketed $10,500 in prize money and $1,500 for winning the big fish competition.

The tournament, however, was held a couple of months after prime fishing time. “We usually fish in May, not August, so it was a lot tougher than usual.”

Pirch is quick to note that fishing the Potomac can be difficult for those raised in Arizona because the Southwest has few, if any, similar waterways.

“It’s (Potomac) tidal, so it’s much different,” Pirch explained. “The water (level) goes up and down with the tides and that changes fishing (conditions).”

During all four days of the tournament, the former Payson High school wrestling, cross country and track and field star weighed in a five-fish limit.

His largest limit, caught on day three, tipped the scales at

He said it wasn’t poor Davis’ first completion defense that cost Payson.

“Our defense in the first was also a bomb hauled in by DiAndre Terry in the closing half probably didn’t give up 100 minute of the first half.

17 pounds, 2 ounces.

His lightest was day four when he caught 6 pounds, 1 ounces.

“That was a tough day for me,” Pirch explained.

On day one he boated 14 pounds, 6 ounces and stood 16th in the standings. After day two, he was 17th overall catching that day 13 pounds, 3 ounces.

Pirch’s good friend and roommate, Justin Lucas, of Guntersville, Ala., won the tournament with a whopping 72 pounds, 4 ounces of large and smallmouth bass.

Following the win, Pirch stayed true to the sportsmanship, ethics and fairness he showed as a Payson High athlete, applauding Lucas on Facebook, “Congrats to my buddy for getting the win at the Potomac.”

Next up, Pirch will compete in a Bassmaster Elite tourna-

ment on the Mississippi River.

The series is the highest level of professional bass fishing tournaments. Competitors must qualify for the series through the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Opens or the B.A.S.S. Nation, and anglers who are already on the Elite Series must re-qualify each year by maintaining a minimum number of points throughout the season.

The pro anglers compete all season with a goal of winning enough points to qualify for the Bassmaster Classic.

Currently, Pirch’s 42nd place standing has him on the cusp of qualifying for the Classic, which, he says, “is my goal.”

All Bassmaster competitors, including Pirch, also have their sights set all season long on winning the granddaddy of all angling honors — the Toyota Bassmaster Angler of the Year award.
