Now, here’s how weird things are this year. When lightning started a fire north of Strawberry this week — the Forest Service decided to let it burn.

For the past few years, firefighters, air tankers and water-dropping helicopters starting in May have raced to snuff any hint of a fire, for fear tinder-dry brush and sweltering temperatures will quickly produce anoth-

Forest fire managers since Saturday have let the Horse Tank Fire atop the Rim six miles north of Strawberry burn through dead and down forest litter, small underbrush and pine needles. The fire has grown to just 35 acres. Fire managers plan to let it burn within a 2,000-acre area, unless the weather changes.

Managers say the fire helps restore wildlife habitat, promotes healthy

School politics: Funding plan, textbook choices debated Common Core prompts textbook worries Michele Nelson

roundup staff reporter

In a clash between the old and new, the Payson Unified School District board voted on what to do with old, obsolete textbooks and the new online curriculum framework, Beyond Textbooks.

In both cases, the board accepted the staff recommendation about a vigorous discussion about adopting books and curriculum aligned with national academic standards accepted by the state — referred to generally as Common Core.

The district has spent more than a year phasing in the standards adopted by the state. That includes dropping the old AIMS test and implementing the new AZMerit test to measure student knowledge and teacher and district performance. However, newly elected state Superintendent Diane Douglas and many state lawmakers want to dump the national standards and start over.

The Payson School Board’s discussion started with a vote to dispose of old textbooks and computers. But board member Shirley Dye did not want to

see the textbooks go.

“Those were books the kids were issued … don’t give up those textbooks because there is a huge movement afoot to stop Common Core,” she said. “(If approved) those books would still be appropriate to use … Don’t get rid of them until we find out which direction the Department of Education is going.”

Business manager Kathie Manning said school administrators had deemed the textbooks obsolete.

Board president Barbara Underwood said she has volunteered in the high school bookstore over the years and noticed many books not being checked out anymore.

“A lot of the books have sat on shelves for years,” she said.

Underwood also told Dye she thought the district was on a seven-year cycle to phase out textbooks and replace them with new.

When it came time to vote, Dye voted against disposing of the textbooks, but she was in the minority.

A Valley man was killed recently after rolling his side-byside off-highway vehicle east of Payson on the Control Road.

Bryon Pursell, 50, was driving a RZR Polaris back to a friend’s cabin in the Diamond Point area May 30 after playing pool at the Double D Restaurant and Bar in Tonto Village, said Det. Karen Baltz, with the Gila County Sheriff’s Office.

Pursell was going at least 50 mph when he lost control in a right turn, flipping the RZR on its side and pinning Pursell underneath. The passenger in the OHV, WEEKEND

another 50-year-old man, was not injured.

Pursell was not wearing a helmet or a seatbelt.

Several people attempted CPR on scene, but Pursell was unresponsive and paramedics declared him dead on scene.

Emergency room data indicates that 67 percent of all sideby-side accidents involve a head injury.

In July last year, a Valley family lost their son when he ran his ATV into a tree outside of Tonto Village. He was not wearing a helmet. The man’s fiancee, who was riding behind him, survived. She was wearing a helmet.

The family started the DJ Jacobs Memorial Helmet Foundation, collecting 224 helmets to give away free. The helmets are available at the Hellsgate Fire Department in Star Valley.

For more information, call Hellsgate at (928) 474-3835.

Safety tips • State law requires all riders under 18 to wear a Department of Transportation approved helmet.

• State law requires eye protection, such as goggles or a helmet with a face shield, for all OHV and ATV operators. Eye protection is recommended for side-by-side vehicle drivers.

• Wear pants, a long-sleeve shirt, gloves and boots while riding.

• The vehicle should have a spark arrestor installed to prevent wildfires.

• A OHV decal is required.

• Only ride on designated roads and trails.

Gov. Doug Ducey

Governor’s Plan --Spend an extra $300 million annually from state land fund.

-- Boost Arizona from 48th to 47th nationally in per-student spending.

-- The “new money” would not replace $340 million shortfall in court-ordered inflation funding.

-- Voters would have to approve increased distribution in 2016.

-- Would take effect in fiscal 2016-17.

-- Would end after 10 years.

-- Would not deplete $5.4 billion land trust fund.

Gov. Doug Ducey last week proposed injecting an extra $300 million annually into the state’s spending on K-12 education by taking more money out of the state lands trust.

Ducey’s plan would require voter approval in 2016 and comes in the shadow of national figures showing that Arizona has dropped to 49th out of 50 states and the District of Columbia when it comes to per-student spending on K-12 schools.

The Census Bureau report showed that Arizona spends $7,208 per student, with about $3,400 coming from the state. Only unusually large contributions from the federal government prevented Arizona from ranking even worse when it comes to education spending. The federal government provides 15 percent of the money for K-12 schools in the state, the fifth highest percentage in the nation.

The governor wants to boost the amount spent on education from the state’s land trust fund from the present 2.5 percent to 10 percent for the next five years and then 5 percent for the following five years. Even with that higher contribution, the state’s $5.1 billion trust fund would still grow to $5.39 billion by fiscal 2021, according to projections.

State Sen. Sylvia Allen, who represents Rim Country, praised the idea.

“I think Governor Ducey’s proposal is a “... it’s a wonderful wonderful idea and will really be a shot in the arm for education in the state. I proposal that will do believe that the current percentage is really be a shot in the low and conservative and the fund can arm for education.” handle this. I also think it is wise to have a time line so that we can be sure that Sen. Sylvia Allen we are not harming the overall fund.

My only concern is when we reduce the amount in five years, how the schools will compensate for that.

Hopefully our economy has recovered and revenue is higher and there will not be a problem.”

rescues for the volunteers.

While the hike in is a relativity easy downhill, hikers don’t realize how grueling the climb up will be in full sun in the afternoon.

On Monday, the Gila County mounted posse, sheriff’s office and Pine-Strawberry Fire Department were called out multiple times for distressed hikers.

The first call came in at 5 p.m.

A 57-year-old man from out of town was out of water near the bottom of the trail. Rescuers hiked in and rehydrated him then helped him walk out. As they got in their trucks to leave, they got another call from three more hikers two miles down the trail with blistered feet, said Earl Chitwood, with the mounted posse.

The hikers had worn thin flipflops to the water and they were not only rubbing their feet raw, but they had a hard time walking up the rocky, steep trail in them.

Rescuers duct taped the sandals

to their feet and one paramedic even made a makeshift shoe using a towel for one man who had lost a sandal playing in the water.

No sooner did rescuers get those hikers out than they got word of another group in distress, this time six hikers near the bottom.

Rodney Cronk with the GCSO hiked in and carried one girl out a mile on his back until the mounted posse could pick her up and carry her out on horseback. Her feet were so badly blistered from flipflops she could not walk, Chitwood said.

None of the people had enough water and all had become dehydrated.

Rescuing people from Fossil Creek is nothing new for locals.

This year however, the mounted posse teamed up with TRSAR and the high school’s Explorers group, to curb the number of preventable rescues.

On Saturday and Sunday they set up a table at the trailhead

where volunteers educate hikers on the distance, difficulty and supplies needed.

Since Memorial weekend, the education effort has prevented any weekend rescues.

As a general rule, Chitwood said they don’t recommend anyone under 8 years old, over 60 years old or overweight tackle the trail.

Volunteers suggest alternative places easier to get to, like the lakes on the Mogollon Rim. Pitterle said if people are still determined to get to Fossil Creek, they need to realize the upper trail does not bring them to the large waterfall. The easiest way to get to the popular waterfall swimming hole is to drive in from the Camp Verde side and hike one mile up the stream. From the Strawberry side, the easiest approach to the waterfall involves hiking down the dirt road and then a mile upstream.

“They get going down the (upper) trail and think that it is

Fossil Creek facts

• In 2014, the mounted posse went on 13 missions at Fossil Creek, rescuing 21 people.

• Every time they go in they pass out at least two cases of water to hikers.

• On June 7, there were about 200 cars at the Strawberry side trailhead by 9:30 a.m. with about 600 people. only a mile to the waterfall,” he said. “As they are going down into the canyon, they are losing a lot of elevation and the whole thing surprises them.”

Hikers need to prepare for at least an eight-mile hike when they visit Fossil Creek. Flip-flops won’t cut it, Pitterle said.

Governor’s school plan spurs response From page 1A The extra money would boost the per-student state funding to about $3,700. That would still put Arizona at about 70 percent of the national average, assuming none of the other states increased spending in the meantime.

The Payson Unified School District could get an extra $700,000 or so annually.

PUSD Superintendent Greg Wyman said he’s taking a “wait and see” approach to the proposal since “the devil’s in the details.”

“If passed, it will not take effect until 2017-18 school years. That is two budget cycles from now. I think it is important for people to understand that despite the big numbers that will be generated over the 10 years, the proposal increases funding as a one-time amount of about $300 more per student. For perspective, Arizona is approximately $3,500 below the national average. Despite this proposal, the new money will only move Arizona up one spot in the ranking.”

The $300 million annual infusion into K-12 spending would not quite equal the money state courts have ordered the state to restore to comply with a 2001 voter-approved measure requiring the state Legislature to at least keep up with inflation in funding its schools. The court ruled that the state had illegally cut school funding by $340 million annually and owed total back-payments of $1.8 billion.

At a press conference last week, Gov. Ducey said the added money from the state land trust would represent “new” money, separate from any eventual settlement in the court case.

State representatives are currently seeking a settlement with the coalition of school districts and public interest groups who won their case before the state Supreme Court. The state has so far refused to comply with the court order to restore inflation funding denied during the recession.

The proposal would not restore funding for the state’s three universities, which have faced deep cuts in the past five years — including an added $99 million in the upcoming fiscal year.

The governor’s proposal met with cautious approval across the political spectrum. Democrats generally welcomed the extra funding, but said it wasn’t enough.

Republicans generally greeted the idea enthusiastically, saying it would boost school spending without raising taxes or requiring cuts in other areas of the state budget. School officials said they can use any help they can get.

Wyman noted that the inflation lawsuit and other planned changes in state funding for schools could help — or hurt — schools more than the extra money from the state land trust. For instance, Proposition 301 increased the sales tax for schools but will expire in 2020. If it’s allowed to expire, schools will lose more money than the temporary increase in distributions from the state lands trust will produce.

“Funding for public education in Arizona is very complex and has many moving parts,” said Wyman. “This proposal is just one part of the puzzle.”

The proposal could halt a seemingly inexorable decline in state support for schools, as the Legislature has focused on tax cuts and spending cuts to cope

“For perspective, Arizona is approximately $3,500 below the national average. Despite this proposal, the new money will only move Arizona up one spot in the ranking.”

with the fall in state revenues since the recession.

The Census Bureau report showed Arizona per-student spending ranks 31 percent below the national average. High-spend­ ing states like New York and Alaska spend nearly three times as much per student. Only Idaho and Utah spend less, but just barely.

Arizona also ranked third lowest in school spending for each $1,000 of state personal income.

The state had the fourth-highest decline in per-student spending in the past five years. During that time, only 11 states have actually reduced per-student spending.

Arizona’s per-student spend-

ing rate fell each year from 2010 to 2013, with an 8.2 percent drop in that three-year period.

Gov. Ducey’s proposal would inject nearly $2 billion into the K-12 school system in the course of a decade. He would phase out the extra money, to avoid cutting into the $5 billion trust fund, established with money from the sale and lease of some 9.3 million acres of state-owned land.

Schools would receive an extra $1.8 billion in the first five years — or roughly $360 million annually. However, the extra money would shrink to $400 million in the second five years, roughly $80 million annually. The program would expire in 2026.

As state treasurer, Ducey in 2012 backed a ballot measure that required the state to pay out at least 2.5 percent of the state lands trust fund to schools. That has yielded about $80 million annually for schools. However, the land trust fund has been growing at a rate of 5-8 percent.

That’s why fiscal experts believe Ducey’s proposal would result in little decline in the fund’s total.

Estimates suggest the fund will grow to $7.6 billion by 2026 under the current formulas.

Conservatives have focused on trying to gain control of the roughly 54 million acres of federally owned land in Arizona, saying the state needs control of that land to fund schools and other public services. The federal government owns 74 percent of the land in the state, while Arizona owns about 14 percent.

Arizona is among the most dependent of states on federal income. The federal government provides about 36 percent of the state budget, according to a compilation on the website WalletHub.

Forest Service letting Horse Tank Fire burn From page 1A vegetation, and reduces fuels and the risk of severe fire, thus creating safer conditions for residents, visitors and firefighters.

“Our crews will be preparing fire lines around the perimeter of this fire throughout the week and smoke impacts should be minimal, but will most likely disperse into Fossil Creek in the evening hours and possibly the Verde River area,” said Dave Kempton, incident commander assigned to the fire.

The National Interagency Fire Center has issued a fire outlook report for June through September, which has welcome

doses of good news for Rim Country — but frightening predictions for elsewhere in the country.

The fire danger in Central Arizona should remain normal to below-normal in June, rise to above normal in July and then drop to normal or below normal in what weather forecasters say should be a late — but wetter-than-normal monsoon season. The delayed onset of the monsoon could extend Central Arizona’s higher fire danger into mid July, before the summer thunderstorms bring relief.

However, the fire danger remains high in southeastern and western Arizona.

Elsewhere, the fire danger will remain above normal — including California, Oregon, Washington, the Sierra Nevada and large portions of the Rocky Mountains.

Despite the unusual May and June rains, most of Arizona remains in “moderate drought,” including all of Northern Gila County, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. Southern Gila County and much of Eastern Arizona remains in “severe drought.”

Roosevelt Lake is 47 percent full. Tonto Creek, the Salt River and the Verde River are all running at 60 to 74 percent of normal, according to the Salt River Project’s daily water report.

Horse Tank Fire Size: Currently 35 acres (managed fire perimeter boundary estimated at 2,000 acres) Location: Six miles north of Strawberry, south of SR 260 Behavior: Creeping, smoldering in pine needle. Larger brush not burning due to wet weather.

PAYSON ROUNDUP

OPINION

4A Friday, June 12, 2015

ourview

lookback • June 14, 1909: Folksinger Burl Ives is born in Illinois. Ives is best known for his voiceover work as Sam the Snowman in the animated Christmas special “Rudolph the RedNosed Reindeer.”

• June 11, 1949: Hank Williams makes his Grand Ole Opry debut, electrifying a live audience at Ryman Auditorium that called him out for six encores. Organizers implored fans not to call him out for more so the rest of the show could go on.

• June 13, 1971: The New York Times begins to publish parts of a top-secret Department of Defense study of America’s involvement in the Vietnam War. The “Pentagon Papers” indicated that the government had been lying for years about the war.

• June 12, 1987: During a speech in Berlin, President Ronald Reagan famously challenges Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to “tear down this wall.” The Berlin Wall had been erected in 1961 to prevent East Germans from escaping to the West.

Save the creek, and the access Pick the cliché that fits.

The Forest Service walks into a bar and asks for a drink.

“I drink to forget my problem,” says the Forest Service glumly.

“What’s your problem?” asks the bartender.

“I’m an alcoholic,” sighs the Forest Service.

All right. You’ve heard that one.

Then how about this: Guy kills his parents. At the sentencing hearing, the Forest Service says: “Please have mercy on me, Judge, on account of my family issues.”

“What family issues?” demands the judge.

“Well, your honor, I’m an orphan,” says the Forest Service.

Well, you get the drift.

So now after three years of hearing and deep thought, the Forest Service says it likely has no choice but to slam the doors on Fossil Creek. Gotta shut off the road from Camp Verde. Might have to shut down the Fossil Spring Trail from Strawberry, having already shut down the road from our side.

Why must they cut off access to this precious place — which offers sanctuary for both a host of endangered species and about 100,000 human visitors annually?

Well, they don’t have any money to build a parking lot.

They don’t have any money to put in flush toilets.

They don’t even have any money to put a ranger at the Fossil Springs Trailhead and prevent fools in flipflops from flitter flopping down the four-mile long trail into the 1,500-foot-deep canyon.

So the Forest Service proposes to damage the tourism-dependent economies in both Pine and Camp Verde by making it far more difficult for people to enjoy this publicly owned wonder.

Now, we understand that the creek’s more valuable as a refuge for endangered fish and a host of other endangered species than as a human swimming hole.

We also understand that unrestrained, unregulated use will eventually impair the water quality and like as not burn the place down. No doubt, Fossil Creek needs protection.

So charge a $10 entrance fee and use the money to hire enough rangers to police the visiting yahoos and build the toilets and parking needed.

Better yet, turn the place over to the National Park Service or contract with the Arizona State Parks Department or even Gila County to operate as a feecharging, grant-collecting refuge for endangered species AND humans.

Fossil Creek can serve as a mainstay of the tourist-oriented Rim Country economy, while still protecting the wealth of species, stunning scenery and remarkable water.

Of course, the Forest Service remains addicted to bureaucracy — having spent years in the dim, cozy bar of its rules and regulations.

Moreover, the Forest Service has orphaned itself — through years of policies that have alienated it from the public that gave it birth — and who it’s supposed to serve.

So we get it: The Forest Service is like an alcoholic orphan, when it comes to making decisions about how to protect Fossil Creek without cutting off public access.

We’re just hoping that someone will step forward and start a movement to make Fossil Creek a national park, a state park or a county park — so that someone with vision who can see past the regulation check list can save the creek without locking out the public.

We must fund education Editor: I read Senator Allen’s guest comment with interest. I completely agree with her that the accomplishments of Arizona graduates is impressive. I am always amazed at the quality of our Payson students.

It was interesting that she mentioned how much we owe to our dedicated teachers for this. However, since our teachers are the lowest paid in the country, I am assuming that she doesn’t mean that we owe them in dollars. I’m sure they appreciate that your hat’s off to their accomplishments, Sylvia, but they would probably prefer just to be paid what they are worth.

You get what you pay for and since taxpayers now pay the lowest taxes in 50 years, there are going to be cutbacks. But why do our Republican legislators think those cutbacks should be made to education and the needs of the poor rather than tax breaks for the rich and subsidies for corporations that are pulling in higher profits than ever in history? Just what are their priorities? I don’t think their priorities are the same as most Americans, although I’m sure their corporate donors are very satisfied.

No, we don’t need to be like China.

We need to be like other industrialized countries where education is sufficiently funded and available to all and teachers are treated with the respect and the paychecks they deserve.

Wendy Trainor

Sad to see Sarah go Editor: We are sad to see Sarah Hock leave the Humane Society of Central Arizona. Sarah, her staff and volunteers have brought a very healthy recognition to the needs of animals in our area. We can point to our Humane Society with pride; it shows in their facility, the people who work and volunteer there, local events, and number of pets that are adopted out.

Thanks for your efforts, Sarah.

Good luck to you in your next adventure.

Beverly Malmberg Rick Heffernon

pleased with the turnout and appreciative of the many constructive and informative comments made during the meeting.

Superintendent O’Dell would also like to express her thanks to the public school superintendents of Miami, Globe and Payson Unified School Districts, Sherry Dorathy, Jerry Jennex and Greg Wyman respectively, as well as the elected officials for their participation in the meeting. She is especially grateful to Gila County Supervisors Mike Pastor and John Marcanti for their continued support for education and their involvement in Thursday’s meeting.

Finally, Superintendent O’Dell would like to thank Arizona Superintendent Diane Douglas and her staff of the Arizona Department of Education for listening to the communities of Gila and Graham counties. Superintendent Douglas accepted Superintendent O’Dell’s invitation to return to Gila County in the fall to report on the outcomes of the We Are Listening Tour.

The public can still submit comments about public education in Arizona by contacting the Arizona Department of Education at www.azed. gov/HearingEveryVoice, by emailing HearingEveryVoice@azed.gov, or by joining the conversation on Twitter @ azedschools #HearingEveryVoice.

Flag Day in the U.S.

Editor: I was with Don Evans on May 28 when we were riding on my RZR to Doll Baby. When I fell unconscious from the heat, Don tried to get me back in the ATV and could not do it alone. So he called 911.

Sgt. Rodney Cronk responded and they together got me back into the ATV. Because I was still unconscious, Rodney held my legs and Don drove me to a helicopter to render emergency aid. With the help of a waiting ambulance, I was taken to Payson Regional Medical Center.

I wish to thank them.

Mike Kraus

Editor: People across the United States celebrate Flag Day on June 14 each year to honor the United States flag and to commemorate the flag’s adoption. On the same day, the United States Army celebrates its birthday.

Flag Day falls within National Flag Week, a time when Americans reflect on the foundations of the nation’s freedom.

The flag of the United States represents freedom and has been an enduring symbol of the country’s ideals since its early days.

During both events, Americans also remember their loyalty to the nation, reaffirm their belief in liberty and justice, and observe the nation’s unity.

Pine Library hosts summer reading by

Teresa McQuerrey

roundup staff reporter

The summer reading program at Isabelle Hunt Memorial Library in Pine starts in July, but in the meantime, youngsters in the area can enjoy movies at 1 p.m., every Thursday in June.

The selections for the June

“Movie Madness” program are: June 18 – “Heidi” June 15 – “Peter Pan” Reading program

The summer reading program theme is “Every Hero Has a Story” and it will be presented by the Isabelle Hunt Memorial

Library during July. Sessions will be held 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Wednesday, July 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29.

Reads, Arizona Thrives.”

Registration for the program is 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Friday, June 26, but children can sign up prior to each session.

Also at the library are “Story Time” and “Happy Music” programs on Wednesdays and children’s self-guided craft activities on Fridays.

The Rim Country has a choral society and lots of bands, but no community theatre.

Clint Nichols hopes to change that.

He has founded a nonprofit theatre alumni group to raise money for scholarships for current Payson theatre students.

The first show will be “Pity Party,” a screenplay Nichols wrote more than 10 years ago after graduating from Payson High School and learning his craft in the theatre department.

“I was working at Famous Sam’s and Chili’s in a tiny apartment,” said Nichols. “I modeled the characters after my friends

GOD is Eternally in Love with us.

Shoppers at Walmart have had to run an obstacle course of Road Closed signs, caution tape, construction equipment and angry drivers in order to simply find a place to park.

Off and on this week the main entrance to the parking lot was blocked off as crews worked to resurface the center of the parking lot between the two main entrances. Already the parking lot to the south nearest the True Value Hardware store is completely resurfaced and spaces have been painted.

Walmart management said the final day of construction was scheduled for June 11.

(and) the roles were created for them.”

He also created a script that would allow some actors to play more than one character as well as a portable set. “That’s why I created the camping in the living room,” he said.

Nichols said the main character, Carla, represents the universal complaints everyone has about modern romance.

“I guess I’m Carla,” he said with an eye roll.

He said he wrote the character Brenda to be played by his friend, Rebecca Gartner, “whom I have known since the age of 4, and is the daughter of Gordon Gartner, Payson’s former Police Chief.”

Nichols said he wrote the

character Stefanie for his friend, Deirdre Waer, who is the daughter of Jack and Becky Waer. He said Becky now runs the Pine Library.

And Nichols’ character, Ethyl, is a mixture of many people from his life.

“Ethyl is a larger than life character infused with bits of my mother, Fredda Brewer, and a lady I grew up across the street from, Eletha Bigando. Eletha was Homer Haught’s mother-inlaw and had a little dachshund named Taco.”

Even Taco made it into the play.

“For my male roles, I wanted Tyler and Nick (current actors) to be a pair of buddies who, as I wrote the roles, were embodied

by the likes of Ryan Tidwell and Ryan McKee.” His final character, Chuck Domino, was created for his friend, Charles “Chuck” Seiverd, who played character actors with Nichols when they were in Payson High School theatre in the 1990s.

Nichols also incorporated names of Payson streets into his story. “As the characters play a certain board game, we use local street names in lieu of the more recognized locations of the game,” he said.

“Pity Party” opens on Thursday, June 18 at 7 p.m. in the Payson High School Studio Theatre (or Black Box Theatre behind the auditorium).

It will run on Friday, June 19, Saturday, June 20, Thursday, June 25, Friday, June 26 and Saturday, June 27.

All performances are at 7 p.m. in the PHS Studio Theatre.

Tickets are $5 and may be purchased at the door. Clint and his stage manager, Christopher Hart, also have designed T-shirts. They have a special of $20 for a T-shirt and a ticket.

Forest Service seeks ideas on ‘sustainable recreation’ by

Pete Aleshire

roundup editor

Would you rather save an endangered species — or keep the public from visiting a beautiful spring?

What’s more important — the pleasure of hikers or access to remote areas for ATVs? Should horseback riders have their own set of trails safe from dirt bikes?

Should we worry more about protecting water quality — or giving the public more access to streams and creeks?

Should the Forest Service sharply

limit public access to delicate areas like Fossil Creek?

The Coconino National Forest hopes members of the public will give rangers an earful this Saturday at the Blue Ridge Ranger Station atop the Mogollon Rim when it holds a public comment session on the topic of “sustainable recreation.”

The session will last from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Ranger Station at 8738 Ranger Road in Happy Jack.

Red Rock Ranger District head ranger Nichole Branton said she hopes the series of meetings will lead to the for-

mation of a partnership between local groups and the Forest Service to manage recreation in the region, where tourism remains the main economic driver.

Branton said she expects representatives of the Tonto National Forest will also participate in the Saturday session.

“It is a tremendous opportunity for people to help shape the conversation — and the more diverse the participation the better the recreation plan is going to be. We hear from the ranchers, we hear from the environmental groups, but the hardest point-of-view to repre-

sent is just dispersed recreation — just families camping — because that’s not typically a group that gets represented.”

As it happens, Coconino Forest’s effort to overhaul its recreation plan comes just as environmental analysts are coming up with a plan for recreation in the wildly popular Fossil Creek. In that case, the Forest Service favors a plan that would essentially cut off all access to the creek by vehicles. People who wanted to visit would then have to walk more than two miles to reach the creek, which in recent years has drawn

100,000 visitors annually.

Branton said she hopes to perhaps replicate the success of a broad coalition in the Verde Valley, which united to help protect and utilize the Verde River.

She said The Verde Front represents a collaboration of local groups and governments to maximize use of the Verde River while still protecting it. The group has landed hundreds of thousands of dollars in grants to aid in the effort. “It’s not just another one of these ‘let’s talk about what we could be doing.’ It’s very pragmatically focused. But these things are very influenced by who shows up.”

Summer camps slated The Payson Parks, Recreation & Tourism Department has summer day camps planned from mid-June through late July. The camps cost $35, with lunch included at Rim Country Middle School.

All participants must register online at paysonrimcountry.com or at the Parks & Recreation Office in Green Valley Park two weeks prior to the start of camp.

A camp may be canceled if it does not meet the minimum attendance threshold. A refund is available in the event a camp is canceled.

June 15-18: Olympic Games

Campers will participate in team and individual activities to reach the top of Payson’s own Summer Olympic Games.

Free school lunch at RCMS.

Water Fun: June 22-25

Beat the heat this summer in the Water Fun Camp where all activities will be focused on staying cool. Campers are encouraged to bring towels and dress in attire that can get wet.

Schoolyard Craze: July 6-9

With activities from kickball to hopscotch, campers will enjoy the fun and engaging environment of old and new schoolyard games.

Discovery Camp: July 20-23

For the curious camper discovery is unlimited! From science experiments, trivia, to mysteries, campers will have fun interacting while achieving new found knowledge.

Payson Community Kids needs sponsors for crucial fundraiser by

Teresa McQuerrey

roundup staff reporter

Payson Community Kids needs donors and sponsors for the Payson’s Kids Festival of Furniture & Other Fine Things, which from Aug. 21 to Sept. 21 will raise money the child advocacy group needs to keep its after-school doors open.

Local artists donate hours of their time and creativity to create one-of-akind art to sell or auction at the event.

This year the auction will include chairs, stools and benches plus unique furniture pieces, painted artwork, glassware, handcrafted jewelry and even

some surprises.

This project helps provide the money to operate Payson Community Kids, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization offering assistance and services to local underserved children and their families. This is the organization’s largest annual fundraiser and it is critical to PCK’s ability to do its work.

Starting Aug. 21, the PCK website will display all of the art and online bidding/purchasing will begin. Bidding and “Buy It Now” opportunities continue until Sept. 21.

Some local businesses will display the art ahead of time, with all items also listed and pictured on the PCK

website. Make bids online or by email.

Please follow the bid/email link on the website.

Bids will be updated on a daily basis (Monday through Friday).

The event, where final bidding takes place, will last from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., Monday, Sept. 21 at Messinger’s, 901 S. Westerly Road.

The works are also available for immediate purchase at the “Buy It Now” price listed, which will remove the items from active bidding. Follow the “Buy It Now” link on the website to complete the purchase. Pick up the “Buy It Now” pieces by contacting PCK at (928) 4787160 or at the Sept. 21 event.

PCK is inviting area individuals, businesses, clubs, organizations and churches to become community partners in the event by purchasing sponsorships.

Those interested in helping to underwrite the event may give a cash donation, in-kind supplies or volunteer working to advertise and promote this event to the community.

Please feel free to contact PCK at (928) 478-7160 for details.

The group hopes to raise $20,000 with the 2015 event.

The mission of PCK is to promote healthy growth and development for Payson’s children and their families,

n g i S e h Design t

and to encourage their positive participation in the Payson community and society in general. The program provides assistance with food, clothing, and occasional financial needs, as well as opportunities for social interaction and educational activities. Services help meet basic material needs and encourage the development of positive self-esteem and self-responsibility.

In 2014, PCK provided assistance to an average of 350 children and approximately 140 families.

Ammunition theft case set for trial by

Alexis Bechman

roundup staff reporter

A Payson man is slated to stand trial for ammunition theft in September.

Clayton Sopeland initially pleaded guilty to taking scrap ammunition from his employer, Advance Tactical Armament Concepts, which manufactures HPR Ammunition.

His lawyer then asked the court to let him take that guilty plea back and instead go to trial.

While Superior Court Judge Peter Cahill denied the request, the Arizona Court of Appeals Division II found that because Cahill had not accepted the plea agreement, Sopeland could revoke it. The panel reversed Sopeland’s initial guilty plea and Cahill subsequently granted the request to withdraw from the plea agreement.

On Monday, Sopeland appeared in a Payson courtroom where Cahill set a Sept. 1 trial

date. Sopeland’s lawyer said the trial is expected to take eight days and they are asking for an eight-person jury.

Cahill will not try the case because he is retiring later this month, so it is unclear if the trial will be held in Globe or Payson.

School board debates Common Core, texts From page 1A

Then the board had to vote for an intergovernmental agreement with the Vail Unified School District for the online program Beyond Textbooks, based on the new, national standards.

Superintendent Greg Wyman recommended voting in favor of the $26,000 agreement.

For that money, the schools receive an up-to-date curriculum framework that can more easily keep up with the rapid changes required by the ever-fluid curriculum climate.

Wyman laid out the problems if the board did not vote for Beyond Textbooks.

“If we do not have a curricular framework, we can approve another for $100,000. We can go back to an old framework. We can create our own, but we would be working without a curricular framework,” he said, “There needs to be a framework to make sure everyone is on the same page.”

Beyond Textbooks has created controversy since the district started the program under past Superintendent Ron Hitchcock.

The controversy continued during the June 8 board meeting.

Former school board candidate and current president of the Tea Party Darlene Younker quoted A.R.S. 15-721 that states the board has to let the public review material for 60 days before using it in the classroom.

Wyman said the district held a review of Beyond Textbooks at its Parent University

in the fall.

Brenda Case, director of student achievement, said she would happily set aside time to make a presentation on Beyond Textbooks.

Anita Christie, another member of the public, said she has never been able to review Beyond Textbooks in its entirety.

Board member Shirley Dye agreed.

“A parent cannot have access to that,” she said. “I’m to the feeling that if BT were to separate out it would help. The teachers had an answer book and the kids had their workbooks, not the teacher’s guide and not the tests. I think the way technology is today, there is no reason not to separate out.”

Case explained that even when districts used textbooks, parents didn’t see the teacher’s manual with the test questions. She agreed, however, that separating out that information with parents could help.

“As you said, the BT program is not broken down into parts that can be thrown out there,” said Case. “I would love to see BT separated out … (instead) you still have to contact the teacher to ask what is going on in the classroom.”

Board member Angie Prock said parents and teachers have complained about limiting lessons because of BT. She said parents don’t know how to help their children with the new ways of doing lessons, while teachers bemoan the loss of beloved lessons.

“I also hear other teachers say, there is some modification,” she said. “Not being a teacher myself, I understand being limited in

creativity.”

Case explained lessons have to dovetail with the standards for that grade. She said when she was a teacher, she had to give up a lesson she and her kids loved because it simply did not fit in with the required learning.

Wyman said parents having trouble with a lesson or a child’s homework should go back to the teacher and ask for help.

“What should occur is to ask the teacher,” he said. “Even giving me the book, if I didn’t understand organic chemistry, I should go to the teacher.”

In the end, the board approved participation in Beyond Textbooks for another year, with Shirley Dye opposed.

Deputies investigate The Gila County Sheriff’s Office investigated a possible drive-by shooting in Mesa del Caballo Wednesday night, but found no evidence that shots were fired.

A man living in a trailer behind the Houston Mesa General Store thought he heard a gun shot around 11 p.m.

He reported it to store owner Steve Gehring, who had not heard anything because he was across the street and had a generator running.

The GCSO investigated, but found no shell casings or bullet holes. No one was injured.

“For all we know it could have been a firecracker,” Gehring said.

Forest Service wants to bar cars from Fossil Creek by

Pete Aleshire

15-mile-long Fossil Creek Road.

Currently, people can park along the creek for several miles. The new plan would divert them to a parking lot about 2.5 miles from the creek. Anyone who wanted to visit the creek would have to hike in from there.

The plan would bar access by car even during the fall and winter when visitation drops drastically. Many locals take advantage of the slow season to visit the creek.

roundup editor

The U.S. Forest Service wants to cut off almost all access to Fossil Creek by car to protect the unique, spring-fed stream from the impact of some 100,000 visitors a year.

After pondering various proposals for more than a year, the Forest Service created a blended alternative that would require anyone visiting the chain of deep pools and waterfalls to walk at least two miles to reach the water, said Red Rock Ranger District Head Ranger Nicole Branton.

“Right now we have our interdisciplinary team completely focused on the Fossil Creek analysis — they’re hoping to get the draft environmental assessment out this summer.”

The Forest Service has not ruled out finding partners or funding needed to re-open the road from Strawberry to Fossil Creek or to build a parking area with flush toilets big enough to accommodate visitors driving in from Camp Verde.

However, in the short term, the new, preferred alternative would drastically limit access — at least by car.

“It protects the most sensitive, outstandingly remarkable values, while maximizing the recreational opportunities,” said Branton.

Might shut down trail

She said the recreation planners haven’t yet decided whether to leave open the Fossil Springs Trail, which descends roughly 1,500 feet in four miles from a trailhead near Strawberry to the start of a series of springs that provide the crystal clear gush of water that has made Fossil Creek one of the most popular recreation areas in the region.

She said not only do poorly prepared hikers on the Fossil Springs Trail keep rescue crews busy, they leave piles of trash and human waste near the headwaters of the stream.

She said the Forest Service

Current 155-car limit

Pete Aleshire/Roundup

The preferred management plan for Fossil Creek could shut Fossil Springs Trail and the last two miles of Fossil Creek Road from the Camp Verde side. The creek draws 100,000 visitors a year now, posing problems with trash, pollution and traffic. also remains open to proposals that would keep the road from Strawberry down to the canyon bottom open, although it’s been closed for nearly four years. The narrow, winding road is subject to rock falls and used to contribute to the weekend crush of cars in the canyon bottom. The Forest Service considered a proposal to at least let ATVs travel down the road, but has no money to make the road safe from rocks falling from the steep slopes above the

narrow road.

“The problem is simply the fiscal limitations. It would be extraordinarily expensive. We have some of partners with the counties and local community elected officials, and we’d like to have them do some brainstorming and look at some of the challenges we’re facing.”

The new, preferred alternative would create a large parking lot on the Camp Verde side of the creek for people driving in on the

Currently, people rush to the creek from the Valley early on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays during the summer. The Forest Service lets the first 155 cars through, then shuts down the road on the Camp Verde side.

The rangers don’t limit the number of hikers on the Fossil Springs Trail on the Strawberry side, but the grueling hike itself limits traffic. Despite stern signs at the trailhead, many people venture down the steep trail in flip-flops toting coolers filled with beer.

“Fossil Creek is as complicated a recreation situation as I’ve encountered,” said Branton. “It has incredibly beautiful water, important fragile resources and incredible recreation demand.

At the same time, it’s a very long road. But it’s so close to so many things that a lot of people will still go in there.”

Endangered species refuge

The creek has become one of the premier refuges for endangered native species in the southwest, especially fish. But recreation has exploded since 2005, when Arizona Public Service began dismantling an historic hydroelectric system and returned the travertine-rich water to the then mostly dry creek bed.

The travertine in the water leaves it crystal clear and has started rebuilding a series of natural check dams and formations. The accretion of these natural dams in turn produces waterfalls, spillovers and deep

pools all along the remote canyon through which the stream tumbles enroute to the Verde River.

The designation of Fossil Creek as a “wild and scenic” river required the Forest Service to come up with a management plan. In the past five years, it has held a series of public hearings to gather up ideas.

Residents want access

Those hearings usually focused on an urgent plea from residents to protect the creek without cutting off access.

People suggested setting up shuttle buses, making it a national park or national wildlife refuge, charging fees and using the money to provide patrols and facilities and a host of other suggestions.

But the now-preferred alternative apparently has opted to limit access as much as possible because the Forest Service doesn’t have the money to provide facilities or patrols.

Branton said the analysis so far hasn’t focused on building new facilities or charging admission to the creek.

“We might talk to Arizona State Parks and ask what kind of

interest they might have in that area, but they haven’t expressed a serious interest or made a proposal to manage it.”

She noted that Slide Rock State Park in Sedona offered one example in which the state partnered with the Forest Service to manage a wildly popular recreational area.

Looking for partners

“We’re certainly looking for opportunities to have partners.

A shuttle system is not something the Forest Service could provide.”

The big ticket items include money to fix and maintain the road from the Strawberry side, money to put in bathrooms to protect the water quality in the creek and money to build a bridge over the creek to allow cars to park on the site of the dismantled power plant.

But in the meantime, the unique stream with its host of endangered species needs more protection, she said.

“We’ve removed tremendous amounts of trash from Fossil Springs every day — a lot of human waste, coolers and food trash.”

Freshman hopes to rope trip to nationals by

Bryndee Hall competes in breakaway during last summer’s National Junior High Rodeo Association Finals in Des Moines, Iowa. The Payson High freshman entered this weekend’s Arizona High School Rodeo Association Finals at No. 1 in the breakaway season point standings with a great chance to reach next month’s National High School Finals Rodeo in Rock Springs, Wyo.

After excelling at the junior high level, Bryndee Hall faced the challenge of competing against older girls in her first season in the Arizona High School Rodeo Association.

But compete she has.

Hall, 15, entered this weekend’s AHSRA State Finals Rodeo at the Payson Event Center at the top of the standings in breakaway. Some of her competitors are as old as 18.

“I was surprised because I didn’t think that I would be doing as well,” said the Rye resident who’ll be a sophomore at Payson High this fall.

But she’s worked to be in this position, which leaves her with a great shot at qualifying for the National High School Finals Rodeo July 12-18 in Rock Springs, Wyo. The top four in the final season standings following this weekend’s event earn a berth.

“I practice every day,” she said. “I push myself. I rope the dummy every day just for like five or 10 minutes just to keep myself ready. I have to practice to do good and it shows that practice time pays off. I’ve probably worked hard at it this year because I knew I was going to have to work harder to be where I am right now.”

Hall is no stranger to the national spotlight. She closed her junior high career on a high note, qualifying for the JHRA

Area competitors in this weekend’s Arizona High School Rodeo Association State Finals Rodeo which began Thursday and closes Saturday.

She also qualified for the nationals in pole bending in 2013.

Hall ended the 2013-14 AJHRA season as the reserve all-around cowgirl, finishing as the reserve champion in breakaway and ribbon roping and

placed third in goat tying and ribbon roping.

So she’d love to have a strong final rodeo in Payson and win the state breakaway title, although finishing in the top four in the final season standings would get her where she wants to go.

“I need to catch every round, I think,” she said of this weekend’s three goes in the calf rop-

help either. Also, consider using a photo of your pet on your flyer. While color helps, a black and white copy can also be just as good. Make sure the picture is clear, and your animal is easily identifiable. Another great resource for finding a lost pet is through social media — Facebook is a great way to reach out and spread the word that you’re looking for your lost friend. Once a photo and/ or status is posted on Facebook, it’s amazing how far it can go once it’s been shared.

These tips are just some of the ways you can find a lost pet. There are many other ways to find them; from going out and looking for them on foot to buying collars and tags with built in GPS chips (yes, that’s a thing!), but ultimately the most important tool in your arsenal is having a plan of action in case the worst happens and your furry friend runs away.

Who’s your hero?

OK, it won’t be the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, but the “Heroes Parade” opening the “Every Hero has a Story” summer reading program at the Isabelle Hunt Memorial Library is sure to be a small-town sensation. The parade starts at 10:30 a.m., Wednesday, July 1 at the south end ramada near the Pine Strawberry track. It will feature reading students dressed in their favorite hero’s costume. No animals or motorized vehicles will be allowed. The event will also honor current and former servicemen and women.

The “Hero” series takes place through July. Sessions are at 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

July 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29.

The series is free thanks in part to grants the library received last fall from the Phoenix Suns and Arizona Cardinals.

Registration for the program is from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Friday, June 26, but children can sign up prior to each session.

Independence Day Festival

Ready or not, another arts and crafts festival will soon be drawing throngs of heat-weary desert dwellers to the cool

pine country.

The annual Independence Day Arts and Crafts Festival is from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, July 4 and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday, July 5.

It’s expected to have more than 75 booths with stained glass, original art, wood and copper items, pottery, handwoven baskets, greeting cards, handmade clothing and more.

Trouble in Paradise and Friends, a hometown band, will provide toe-tapping musical entertainment and both days will kick off with a pancake breakfast served up by the Mountain Village Foundation.

Scrumptious Navajo tacos served inside the senior dining room are also planned.

The arts and crafts guild is a non-profit community organization that supports the Pine-Strawberry’s school, fire department, library, food bank and Tonto Search and Rescue.

Pick up delayed

The Pine Strawberry Fuel Reduction brush pickup set to begin June 1 has been delayed due to mechanical problems with the brush truck.

The program is expected to begin sometime next week in Zone 1, which is the area north of Beeline and west of Pine Creek Road. The zone includes the Portals I, II and III subdivisions.

After the four Pine zones have been completed, possibly in mid-July, the program will shift to zones 5, 6, 7 and 8, which are in Strawberry.

Only one brush pickup will be held in each zone so those who miss the deadline, will not have their brush picked up.

Organizers ask everyone to be patient.

Much-appreciated rain puts damper on fishing Our fishing buddies came up to spend some time in their cabin this past weekend and they kind of moped around since we had so much rain and they couldn’t go fishing. They decided the creek would be too muddy and slippery and it is just not as much fun to fish when you are getting soaking wet from the rain. So they decided to go back to the Valley in hopes that next time they come to get out of the heat, they can also go fishing. Well, I felt the same way. Don’t the get me wrong, I know that the rain is village sorely needed and other areas of our state are in drought conditions. So, if I can’t go fishing, I will buy my fish. Oh, what an ugly thought. I like my fish fresh from the creek.

Fire restrictions

Even though we have had an abundance of rainfall, fire restrictions are Janet still in place and will continue until the Snyder monsoon rains arrive. In the meantime, no campfires, brush burning, chain saw use or welding projects are allowed. Check with the ranger station in Payson for campgrounds that allow the use of campfires — (928) 474-7900.

Crashes on State Highway 260

There was a head-on accident on the part of Highway 260 that is still a two-lane highway. The accident happened on Monday evening near the Diamond Point Shadows Restaurant. The road from Star Valley to the divided highway is a very dangerous stretch of road.

Why the Department of Transportation and the state of Arizona ignore this stretch of roadway is beyond my understanding. How many people have to be injured or die before any action will be taken?

Hellsgate Fire Department

The June Fire Board meeting is at 5:30 p.m., Wednesday, June 17 at the Star Valley fire station.

There will also be a budget workshop held Friday, June 19 at the fire station. Both meetings are open to the public.

The latest word I have received concerning the new Tonto Village Fire Station is the Village’s building contractor, Noble Construction, is in the process of taking bids for electric and plumbing, etc. for the new station.

As far as I know now, groundbreaking should be very soon.

Recipe of the week

This week the recipe comes from Juanita Oney of Diamond Point and Apache Junction.

Bob’s Last Minute Stroganoff 1 sirloin steak 1-1/2 cups sliced onion Double D doings 1/2 pound mushrooms, thickly sliced 1 cup sour cream Sunday afternoon at about 2 p.m. you could hear the salt and pepper to taste cracking of cue balls hitting the bumpers of the pool butter tables. There was a good crowd of people watching. Cliff 3 tablespoons sherry Landrum struck those balls just right to win first place. 1 teaspoon flour Bailey Randall shot for second place.

Salt and pepper mushrooms and gently sauté in a little butter until tender. Do the same with the onions.

Birthdays, anniversaries Both take about 15 minutes and can be done ahead I apologize for omitting a birthday, Grant Coley of of time. Just reheat before adding to beef, which is not Tonto Village II, celebrated another year May 25. Sorry, cooked ahead, but done at the very last minute.

The steak must be thin, tender and of top quality. If Grant. I hope you had a great birthday.

Linda Price of Colcord Estates and the Valley, and you wish to use a lesser grade, slice more thinly and use most importantly a Domino Diva in the summer, cele- meat tenderizer. Cut the meat in 3-inch-by-1-inch strips, brated her birthday June 11. The Divas will commem- sear on both sides, but leave rare. Combine the sherry orate her big day with her favorite dessert (peach pie) and flour, add this and the reheated mushrooms and onions to the steak and cook briefly to the simmering and a gift of a plant.

Another Domino Diva Penny Wells and her husband point.

Mix in sour cream lightly, using enough to make a Bob will celebrate their wedding anniversary on June 14.

They will observe either 57 or 58 years of marriage (they thick, not thin, sauce. Serves 4 to 5.

A correction to last week’s recipe — Dara’s steak were childhood sweethearts).

Grant and Marie Coley will also celebrate their 50th salad — Instead of 1-1/2 cups of mayonnaise, it should wedding anniversary on June 18. Marie is also a Domino have read 1/2 cup of mayonnaise.

A few weeks ago I was writing about a Hi-Li paddle, a toy you could buy for a nickel when I was a kid. I mentioned that if you had one now you could get $29.95 for it on eBay. As I wrote that, a thought crossed my mind.

“Wow! If I had bought ten bucks worth of those things, I could have sold them for ...”

Then I got smart and dropped the idea.

Why? Read the title of this string: “Life doesn’t work that way.” It’s the truth.

No one has 20-20 future-vision, and if someone did have it, the future would find a way to screw up things anyway.

Life, it has taken me 83 years to learn, has a way of doing that. In fact, one thing I’ve learned for certain is that one of the best ideas you may ever see is this one: Avoid falling in love with your turn your “great ideas.”

Want proof, Johnny?

Read on ...

The first hint life ever gave me that things do not always work out the way you think they will hap- Tom Garrett pened back when I was only 4 years old.

I know how old I was because I was not yet allowed to cross the street to the empty lot across the way. I always had to wait until Mom could walk me across — both there and back.

Mom and my three maiden aunts — the ones I thought were crazy because they didn’t talk like “regular people” — instead they wiggled their hands around in the air — were “talking” about how beautiful the sunrise was each morning. Sounded good to me. I thought I’d like to see that, so I asked Mom if I could run out the next morning and take a gander at it. I got a definite, “NO!” which probably was the result of Mom’s having had to entertain three of Daddy’s crazy sisters for several hours while Daddy was in the hospital with a stroke.

Since nobody ever told “the kid” anything, I didn’t know that people did “hand-talking” if they were deaf, or that the reason I hadn’t seen Daddy lately was because he’d been hit in the neck by a golf ball, was close to death, and Mom was doing her best to raise four kids on thin air and forlorn hopes during the very depths of the Depression in 1936 America. So I did the usual kid thing, I made up my mind that next morning little Tommy Garrett would be outside, across the street, watching the sunrise.

Why across the street? That empty lot across the street was the closest thing that we had to nature on our block in New York City and so my beady little brain no doubt linked together sunrise, an empty lot, and nature.

Anyway, the next morning I got up in the dark, dressed, quietly slipped out the front door, and headed across the street to the empty lot. There I waited to bask in the first glorious rays of the rising sun.

It was a cloudy day.

I saw that as soon as I got outside, of course, but who tells 4-year-old kids that there’s no sunrise on rainy days?

What, I was supposed to guess that the sun doesn’t like getting wet?

Tell you what, Johnny. Somebody should tell kids stuff like that, it could save a lot of kids a lot of trouble. But nobody ever bothers.

So, instead, I watched the ... uh! ... “grayrise.”

It wasn’t much.

I did see something though. As I stood there across the way from the house awaiting the big event I saw some ants sneak out of a hole right near a muddy spot where I often spent happy hours with my little shovel and pail getting as dirty as possible.

The sneaky little devils had wings!

“Aha!” I thought. “Ants put on their wings when nobody’s watching!”

And suspecting that ants and adults were in it together, all trying to keep kids from knowing what was really going on, I sneaked back inside, slightly wet but no smarter — yet.

Payson Roundup LOCAL Friday, June 12, 2015

aroundthe rim

Youth carry on rodeo tradition The rodeo is back in town!

But this time, it’s high school students who are ridin’ and ropin’ at the Payson Event Center on the south end of town.

This Wednesday through Saturday, hundreds of buckaroos from all over the state are participating in the Arizona High School Rodeo Association Finals, held annually in June in Payson. The event is the culmination of monthly rodeo competitions held from September through May at various locations throughout Arizona.

Something I find really special about this season-long rodeo series is that the emphasis is not only on competition, but also about doing well in school. Each participant must remain academically eligible to compete — and verify his or her eligibility through school transcripts.

As is usually the case, Payson is again represented very well in this year’s high school rodeo finals, with hometown kids Monty James, Bryndee Hall, Bryce Stodghill, Kaycee Simpson, Taylor North, Denton Petersen and Josh Barlow all doing well.

Entering this week’s finals, both Monty, a high school junior this past year, and Bryndee, a freshman, are leading their events, tie-down roping and breakaway roping, respectively. The top four finishers in each rodeo event following the finals will qualify for the national finals in Rock Springs, Wyo. in July.

Last year, Bryndee finished in sixth place in the breakaway roping competition at the junior high rodeo finals in Wyoming.

This week’s question

Can you name the country music singer who sang the 2003 Top 5 “Cowboys Like Us”?

This artist was born and raised in Texas, the son of a junior high school teacher who also owned and operated a ranch that had been in the family for nearly 100 years. When he was a child, his mother left the family, taking her daughter but leaving her sons behind with their father.

During his childhood, he would spend his weekdays in town and his weekends on the ranch. He began playing music as a teenag-

Mine,” B) “The Great Pretender,” C) “My Prayer,” or D) “Smoke gets in Your Eyes”?

The correct answer was the lively “He’s Mine.” With Taylor as the lead vocal, the 1957 hit reached No. 16 on Billboard’s pop chart.

With Tony Williams as lead singer, each of the other three song options was a No. 1 hit for the Platters. “The Great Pretender” was the group’s first chart-topper in 1956, “My Prayer” stayed at No. 1 for five weeks, later that same year and “Smoke gets in Your Eyes” topped all other hits in early 1959.

Week No. 2 of the Green Valley Park’s summer concert series happens this Saturday night, with the John Scott Band taking the stage at 7 p.m. with its rockin’ blues sound. The trio has become a crowd favorite over the last several years and promises to be a highlight again this year.

Also, pictures that I’ve just added to my website are from Lucas Butler and Jamie (Wells) Butler’s wedding, held last weekend in Payson. Although the couple was officially married two years ago at the courthouse, on Saturday they finally had the wedding that Jamie has been dreaming of.

After attending school in Tonto Basin through eighth grade, the couple both graduated from Payson High School — Lucas in 2010 and Jamie in 2011. They now live in Flagstaff, where Lucas works as a chef at the local casino and Jamie is studying nursing at NAU. And lastly, kudos go out to Kaprice Bachtell, special events coordinator for Payson Parks & Rec, her staff and all the volunteers who worked so hard to make this past weekend’s 5K Mogollon Mudder Race a truly spectacular event. And a big shout out to all the runners who braved the threemile course, made even muddier by the rains that fell the days before the run.

Have a great Rim Country week!

CROSSWORD

Precipitation total continues to grow Christopher Creek continues to collect on the rare unseasonal moisture. June is a dry month and normally we would get only about four-tenths of an inch of rain for the entire month. Our year-to-date total is 13.4 inches including the inch and three-tenths last weekend. The rest of this week promises more and by Saturday things should start to dry out.

That’s just in time for the Christopher Creek Homeowners Association’s annual community picnic down Columbine Road at Milburn’s meadow. Look for the large white shade. Chuck and Dean have the site mowed down and that was no small chore as things are getting to be a jungle around here. Please note the time has been changed to 4 p.m. to beat the heat-of-the-day temps. This spring has been so glorious temperature wise, the day promises to be gorgeous. The association will again provide the brats and burgers.

Ninth-grader eyes trip to national rodeo finals From page 1B ing event. “It’s pretty important to me (qualifying for nationals) because it’s what I’ve worked for.”

She said qualifying in and competing in four events at the JHRA National Finals Rodeo last year motivated her for this season.

“It was fun and it made me want to work harder for this year,” she said.

Last year, one of her good horses, Babe, tore a flexor tendon in her back leg in March 2014 and was unable to compete the rest of the season. Luckily, she was able to borrow a horse to finish on and did very well.

For last year’s national rodeo finals, she competed on her horse, Grey, in the breakaway. And the two have worked well together in that event this season. They’ve been competing together for the last two or three years and that familiarity shows.

“He works good for me,” she said. “He gives me my shot. He gets me to the calf quickly.”

She’ll also rides Grey in goat tying, the only other event she’s competing in this weekend. She also competed in barrel racing and pole bending at the beginning of the season, but was only able to ride Babe for three rodeos and had to borrow horses in the other rodeos so she eventually decided to concentrate on just breakaway and goat tying.

Hall, who sported a 4.0 grade point average this year, also played softball for Payson’s junior varsity team this spring. She said she likes being part of a team in softball. But the softball and rodeo schedules conflict.

“When we have weekend games, I choose rodeo because I’ve worked at this all year,” she said.

“I like both sports, but I work harder at rodeo. Rodeo’s all year for me.”

Paulson shows true grit in playoff run

Keith Morris/Roundup

Arissa Paulson delivers a pitch during the Longhorns’ 4-3 eight-inning win over defending champion Winslow in the Division 3 state semifinals. The Payson junior pitched in pain during the state tournament.

From page 1B victory against the Bulldogs to erase the pain of falling to Winslow in the state tournament in both 2013 and 2014.

This year, two days after gutting it out against Winslow, she refused to sit out the game against Tucson Empire — although the pain remained. She continued her brave battle through the pain and gave the Longhorns seven solid innings. She didn’t allow a single earned run, although Payson still lost 6-3.

That snapped Payson’s 29-game winning streak and left them a win shy of the first title in program history.

Shortstop Anilese Hayes was also injured. Maybe if both of them had been healthy things would have turned out differently.

Paulson said as long as she

could get the ball to the catcher she was going to pitch.

“Yeah, my shoulder’s been hurting, but I’ve just got to push through,” she said following the semifinal win. “As soon as I pitched (warming up before the game), I knew I could do it. It just hurt. But there’s only two games left, so I want to finish strong.”

Paulson has verbally committed to play softball with her older sister, Arianna, at Brigham Young University after next season. And Winslow coach Kelly Fifelski said the Cougars are getting a good one.

“She’s an awesome player, awesome hitter and anybody’s going to be lucky to have her,” she said.

But she’s got one more season with the Longhorns with some unfinished business.

I’ve got a feeling that 2016 may finally be Payson’s year.
