Northland Pioneer College’s (NPC’s), Performing Arts Department will be producing six 10-minute plays as part of the college’s 2021 Virtual Spring Theatre Festival. Due to the pandemic, NPC’s performing arts students and director Patrick Day have been rehearsing via Zoom and will record and post the performances to YouTube. The series will be available for public viewing from Saturday, April 24 through Sunday, May 9. The YouTube channel is titled Northland Pioneer College, 2021 Theatre Festival and can be found at
NPC’s Virtual Spring Theatre Festival will feature the work of contemporary playwrights involved in the New Play Exchange, a website where playwrights from around the world post their work, which can then be read by subscribers and used by theatre companies who contact the playwrights about production rights and licensing requests.
This spring’s virtual theatre festival includes Tiffany is a Medieval Name by Sarah Rae Brown, featuring Claire Padilla and KayBree Raisor as two old vampire friends who connect via video chat to discuss an interesting revelation about their relationship.
In another play, performers Kellie Stanton and Taya Hancock portray two mismatched scene partners who connect in an online improv class in Allie Costa’s Yes, And…
In Stung, by Laura Ekstrand, two people, played by Kara Cirre and Reece Harris, meet at a farmers’ market and are resolved to change the way they participate in relationships. A simple transaction turns into a conversation that nudges them toward a new path forward.
Alexandrea Delarosa and Kellie Stanton appear in Jess Honovich’s comedy Amazing in which a mother hires a magician for her son’s birthday party… only one’s not really a magician and the other’s not really a mother.
Performers Alexandrea Delarosa, Taya Hancock, Reece Harris and Elaine Mahaffey make up the cast in another comedy, The Check-Up, written by Scott Mullen. A man attends a doctor’s appointment using Zoom but isn’t happy when it is a female doctor; then their mothers show up.
Jennifer O’Grady’s Fridge focuses on a woman and her refrigerator in a story about failure and acceptance. The play will be published in the Smith and Kraus anthology The Best 10-Minute Plays, 2021, and features Kara Cirre, Elaine Mahaffey, Claire Padilla and KayBree Raisor.
NPC’s Virtual Spring Theatre Festival is free to the public and viewable at any time during the YouTube unveiling, as a way for the college’s Performing Arts Department to provide entertainment to White Mountain communities despite the uncertainties brought about by the pandemic.
Questions about this and upcoming NPC performances as well as Northland Pioneer College’s Performing Arts program, can be directed to NPC’s Technical Designer/Production Manager, Patrick Day at 928-536-6267 or email patrick.day@npc.edu.

Arizona Gives Day, Tuesday, April 6, is an online 24-hour giving campaign, sponsored by the Alliance of Arizona Non-Profits and the Arizona Grant Maker’s Forum. NPC Friends and Family, the nonprofit foundation that supports the students of Northland Pioneer College (NPC), primarily through need-based scholarships, has participated in the event since 2015. The nonprofits who raise the most funds can win thousands of dollars in bonus cash. NPC Friends and Family has finished among the top four in the category of Small Non-Profits – across the entire State of Arizona – since 2016!
This year, in conjunction with Arizona Gives Day, NPC Friends and Family invites you to “Take A Hike!” in support of NPC students! This fun new fundraising event will allow you to invite your friends to help in the important effort of supporting NPC students. A donation of $50 or more to NPC Friends and Family, made between Tuesday, March 16 and Tuesday, April 6 at NPC Friends and Family’s donation page () qualifies you to participate in the “Take A Hike” event, which includes a free official tee shirt!
You and your buddies choose where you hike and when – any time between March 16 and April 30 – whatever distance you like, with anyone! Then share photos and stories of your hiking adventures on the official NPC Take a Hike! Facebook group page
This year, our featured Arizona Gives Day scholarship is a brand-new endowed scholarship, the “Taking Flight Scholarship” in Memory of Dr. Eric B. Henderson. Dr. Henderson spent the last sixteen years of his life as an instructor at NPC, and was a tireless champion of NPC students. This endowed scholarship, established by his family, will provide $1,200 each year to an NPC graduate who is pursuing a residential bachelor’s degree at any accredited college or university. This new scholarship provides an opportunity to help NPC graduates take the next big step!
Scholarships raised through events like Arizona Gives Day have been truly life-changing for NPC students, and no more so than in the past year. NPC Friends and Family’s “COVID-19 Emergency Fund” provided students with laptops and Wi-Fi hotspots keeping students connected with their classes during the pandemic. It has even helped students make utility bill payments, car repairs and buy groceries when many jobs were lost to the pandemic. These scholarships mean so much more to NPC students than just financial assistance. They are a validation of all the hard work, dedication and commitment that goes into earning a college degree. They show NPC students that someone cares about their success. For Arizona Gives Day 2021, please join us on the trail and “Take A Hike” for NPC students!

Prescribed Burn Planned on the Lakeside Ranger District

Greens Peak splendor (Forest Service Photo, from )
The Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests’ Lakeside Ranger District plans to conduct a prescribed burn of a slash pile between Monday, March 8, and Wednesday, March 31, 2021, as conditions allow.
Slash is the accumulation of limbs, leaves, pine needles and miscellaneous fuel left by natural debris and forest management activities, such as thinning, pruning, and timber harvesting. Slash piles are created by gathering these materials into manageable, isolated piles that can be burned in a safe manner to reduce fire hazards.
The prescribed burn, located within the Lakeside Administration Site, will require one day of ignitions on a single large pile, which is approximately 1-acre of land. Fire crews will be on scene from ignition until there is no longer a threat of escape from the project boundaries. Prescribed fire, also known as RX, operations are subject to cancelation due to unfavorable weather conditions or other unforeseen circumstances.
Prescribed burning provides many benefits and is essential to maintaining healthy forest ecosystems. It provides habitat diversity, recycles plant nutrients into the soil, and encourages new growth for a variety of plants used by wildlife and livestock. Prescribed burning of forest ground fuels also reduces the threat of large-scale wildfire impacts to private lands.
There may be smoke impacts along Porter Mountain Road, HWY 260, and in the City of Pinetop-Lakeside. In the interest of safety, forest visitors are reminded to use caution when traveling in the vicinity of the pile burn as smoke may reduce visibility in the area. All prescribed burns are approved through the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) before ignitions begin. ADEQ monitors air quality and determines whether or not it will be a good day for smoke dispersion.

Derayna DeClay’s “Matriarch Ways”
/?p=8667

NPC’s Talon Gallery features vibrant local artist Derayna DeClay’s
Matriarch Ways exhibit through March 31
“I prefer to live life in color.” This famous quote by the influential British artist David Hockney could not ring truer for White Mountain Apache artist Derayna DeClay. A member of the Eagle Clan, DeClay was born and raised on the Fort Apache Reservation and has seen her fair share of darker days.
Having lost her mother to cancer as a young teen, and struggling through the ups and downs related to her father’s battle with alcoholism (who is now four years sober) she grappled with difficult life choices. Despite the battles, DeClay is now well on her way to becoming an influential local native artist and is well known for her colorful artwork and larger than life murals.
Her artwork takes a critical view of what she sees on her reservation: the need for Apache female empowerment, environmental issues, Apache traditional culture, representation of Apache woman. In May 2019 she graduated from the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico and plans to revitalize her community through education, training, and art. DeClay is a “Jack-of-All-Trades” who doesn’t limit herself to one medium. Acrylic, markers, spray paint, screen printing, pencil, or chalk can all be found in her work. She is influenced by graffiti and illustration, as well as expressionism and color; DeClay’s technique is always changing.
“The time has come for women to show their power, for others to hear our voices, to witness our grace, our healing spirit and the beauty of our truths,” said DeClay. ‘We are matriarchs.’ I’m not afraid to speak. Hear my voice. I strive to live life outside the lines, break the molds, and I am stronger than you think.”
As a muralist, she hopes to break from the gallery setting to a now interactive, engaging public forum. Believing creative expression can change painful experiences into strength, the artist has found healing, growth and personal transformation through creating art.
Her pieces can be found adorning local schools, service buildings and more – vibrant, positive murals with a big message and purpose.
Northland Pioneer College is pleased to present a collection of DeClay’s work at NPC’s Talon Gallery’s virtual exhibit Matriarch Ways, which can be viewed online at www.npc.edu/talongallery through March 31. The collection is available for public purchase and is representative of DeClay’s bright nature and immense talent.
An artist talk with DeClay will be held on Zoom on March 10, 2021 from 1 to 2 p.m. Please visit to register for the event.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the physical art gallery at the Show Low campus remains closed to the general public. The virtual gallery and this and upcoming art exhibitions will be available on an ongoing basis at www.npc.edu/talongallery. Prior exhibitions can also be enjoyed there virtually. For more information about this exhibit, contact Gallery Director and NPC Art Faculty Magda Gluszek, (800) 266-7845, ext. 6176.

The Town of Pinetop-Lakeside has been awarded a Grant from Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management to mitigate Bark Beetle infestation at Woodland Lake Park. It is planned to treat 90 acres of the 107+ acre park. The goal of this project is to remove ponderosa pine trees that are infested and dying to protect the healthy ponderosa pines in the park and in surrounding areas. For the duration of this project the Town of Pinetop-Lakeside will be CLOSING the entire Woodland Lake Park. The closure is to ensure the safety of the public as well as staff working in the park. Contractors and staff will be continually working in the park until the project is completed. During the closure Town of Pinetop-Lakeside staff will also be working on improvement projects at the Park. The improvements to the park have been ongoing since the purchase of the park was finalized in August of 2020. Those improvements include removing cattails, removing silt, repairs to the dam, repairing the head gate, dock repairs, reconstruction of the boat ramp, widening and repaving the pedestrian path around the lake, installation of new playground equipment, resurfacing of tennis/pickleball courts and bathroom remodel.
The CLOSURE of Woodland Lake Park will begin on February 8th, 2021. The park will remain closed until the projects are complete and it is safe for park patrons to return. Since progress of these projects depends heavily on weather conditions it is unknown at the time when Woodland Lake Park will reopen to the public. The Town of Pinetop-Lakeside appreciates your patience during the closure. If you have questions regarding any of these projects or would like information regarding Bark Beetles and the devastation they can cause please contact Public Works Department at (928) 368-8885 or refer to the information page at .

New Peace Officers

Six new peace officers sworn in after completing 21-week academy
Northeast Arizona’s “Thin Blue Line” is a little stronger after the swearing in December 17 of six new peace officers who recently completed the intensive 21-week Arizona Peace Officer Standards for Training (AzPOST) at Northland Pioneer College’s Northeastern Arizona Law Enforcement Training Academy (NALETA).
Navajo County Superior Court Presiding Judge Michala M. Ruechel administered a socially distanced oath to new Navajo County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Jordan Smith, White Mountain Apache Police Officers Ariel Edison and Chrispin Feller, Payson Police Officers Luca Barr and Carson Frahm, and Clifton Police Officer Alexander Armijo.
NALETA is a true partnership with regional law enforcement agencies that assign sworn officers as instructors at no charge to the college, explained Jon Wisner, NPC’s director of public safety education.
Guiding the recruits through the academy were Class Supervisor Sgt. Brett Johnson (Navajo County Sheriff’s Office) and Recruit Training Officer (RTO) Cory Fechtelkotter (Show Low Police Department). Fechtelkotter presented the Physical Fitness award to Officer Armijo, the Firearms award to Officer Barr, and the Defensive Driving, Top Academic and the ‘David Kellywood Top Recruit Award’ to Deputy Smith.
On hand to witness the brief ceremony were limited law enforcement representatives from the sponsoring agencies and select family of the recruits.
“If you are interested in becoming a certified Arizona peace officer, contact the agency you would like to work for to begin the process,” urged Wisner. “By recruiting and training locally, the agencies know the individual already has ties to the community, the support of family members in the area and housing. This has also been shown to improve the success rate for cadets.”
NALETA’s class of 2021-2022 training is scheduled to begin January 25. Centrally located at the Northeast Arizona Training Center (Jake Flake Emergency Services Institute) in Taylor, NALETA is a fully accredited AzPOST “closed” academy. This means students can only enroll under the sponsorship of a law enforcement agency.
At a minimum, a prospective recruit must be at least 21 years of age by the end of the academy and be able to pass a variety of testing processes, including physical agility, firearms, and written tests along with a background investigation and a polygraph.
“Recruits must be dedicated and willing to endure the intensive academic and physical training required to be successful in the program,” explained Wisner.
Further information regarding AzPOST eligibility requirements can be found online at post.az.gov by clicking on the “Certification Process” link in the top navigation bar, or by contacting the police or sheriff’s office where you would like to begin your law enforcement career. Tribal officers, Game and Fish Wardens, and agricultural inspectors are also sworn peace officers.
Information can also be obtained by contacting Jon Wisner, NPC’s director of public safety education and NALETA director, (928) 536-6265, email jon.wisner@npc.edu, or on NPC’s website, .
