TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS

LAS VEGAS NOW In some ways Las Vegas never changes. However, there are always new and refurbished hotels added to the familiar scene. The casinos and entertainment change and in many ways seem to get better. The prices continue to rise in the up-scale hotels during weekends and holidays, but we seem to withstand it all and never loose the desire to go back for another crack at the tables, slots and great shows. One sparkling new feature is Container Park located in downtown Las Vegas It is in reality a small business haven. In Container Park 31 stores and 43 small shops make up the city’s newest shopping and entertainment area. You’ll find fashion boutiques, a caterer, leather shops and entertainment venues all wrapped into the new center. It is located on the corner of Fremont and KEN BROOKS Seventh streets and funded by the Downtown Project. It is, in fact, a small-business incubator, where people can grow their businesses and then move into larger quarters later. Near the entrance, a 40-foot praying mantis greets visitors and the Catalyst Dome, also near the entrance, is an entertainment venue. The complex is said to have a little bit of everything for visitors. Container Park will be open daily between 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Give the project a visit on your next trip to Vegas. After selecting your hotel or resort, the next important move is deciding where to be entertained and dine. Some of the important entertainment coming soon includes: the Broadway show Book of Mormon, which has won several awards will be playing in Vegas all through February and even next summer; tickets for George Strait’s Feb. 1 performance at the MGM Grand Garden Arena are still available; Dennis Miller, who has, of late, become a political commentator on Fox Cable News, appears Feb. 7 and 8; The Eagles appear at the MGM Garden Arena Feb. 15, tickets start at $130; Celine Dion can be seen Feb. 19 at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace; tickets are also available for The Academy of Country Music All Star Jam April 6 at the MGM Grand Ballroom. Tickets for all the stars, reviews, comedy and produc-

tion shows can be obtained from various ticket agencies. One you might try is at 1-866-983-4279. Some of the best bets in Las Vegas, according to David Yeskol, a local writer, include: • The Best Celebrity Chef Burger at the Mandalay Place at the Burger Bar. He says all other burgers should be measured by this offering. • The Best Luxury Suite Experience can be found at the Tower Suites at the Wynn Las Vegas. • The Best Comedy in Action is at the Quad Resort & Casino. The performer is Nathan Burton with his comedy magic show. • The Best In-room Technology is available at the Areas Resort and Casino. • The Best Starters on the Strip: Hakkasan Restaurant at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino.

• Best New Show on the Strip: Michael Jackson One at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino. • Best Classic Italian Restaurant: Allegro at the Wynn Las Vegas. Next time we visit Vegas I am going to try and stay at the Aria Resort & Casino. It offers modern, luxurious rooms with dining from award-winning chefs. You may like to try it yourself. Be sure to see at least two shows while in town. So many tickets are discounted. Check out the various agencies. Last minute purchases are often the most economical. This is a good time to visit Vegas with cooler daytime temperatures and fewer crowds. See you there!

Then he moved up to more well-to-do victims, I think that this performance by DiCaprio ravenously. He also betrayed both of his wives represents his best work. He has matured into Andy McKinney and allowed himself to use drugs of all sorts to an actor that can inhabit a role so thoroughly Reviewer a fantastic excess. The film is rated “R” for that we forget to remember that we see the more or less continuous and complete nudity actor and not the character. Jonah Hill also and sex. does well in this dramatic role. The film fails for me in the utter lack of sympathy Australian actress Margo Robbie successfully adopts the audience has for the Wolf.

British TV series “Absolutely Fabulous.” It is a testimony to the power of the Scorsese franchise that we also have director Jon Favreau (“Elf,” “Iron Man”) appearing in a small role. Three hours seems long for a film, but things move right along. Scorsese keeps us interested in the tornado of human destruction that is “The Wolf of Wall Street.” His producers allowed him $100 million to make the film (filmed mostly in New York and New Jersey). Even with a Christmas Day Wednesday opening “The Wolf of Wall Street” has swept up only $34 million. It may take some time to re-coup the producers’ investment. Perhaps an Oscar nod to DiCaprio will stimulate interest. He deserves it. Terence Winter penned the script from the autobiography by Jordan Belfort. We can offer a slender three saw blades for this well made, well acted film about a guy we wouldn’t have lunch with.

IN THE KITCHEN

Chase away the chill of winter nights There’s nothing quite like a hearty, homemade meal to help warm up those cold winter nights. And with a well-stocked pantry delicious meals, like Turkey Green Bean Chili and Home-Style Chicken Pot Pie, are just a few cans away. Because cans lock in foods’ freshness and nutrition, stocking up on staples like canned tomatoes, green beans, peas and canned chicken means that you have access to wholesome ingredients all winter long. Plus, the more cans you store, the fewer last minute trips you have to make to the supermarket. So this season, when you’re searching for satisfying, heart-warming meals that you and your family can cozy up to, start by looking in your pantry.

Today, less than half of American families eat dinner

together every day (Source: National Survey of Children’s Health 2011/2012). One secret to dinner on busy weeknights is keeping the ingredients for your favorite meals within easy reach. These solutions cut out dinner preparation time to help families get meals on the table fast, any night of the week: • Keep your freezer organized for quick meal planning. Buy extra frozen or fresh poultry, beef and pork when they go on sale. If fresh, freeze them in family dinner portions. Then, stock up on pre-cut vegetables, like Birds Eye’s new Recipe Ready line of pre-cut, sliced and diced vegetable varieties that help complete a meal. • Spend less time searching for recipes. Pick one day a week to sketch out a menu filled with fast and easy home-cooked family favorites. It’s easier to save time during the week if you already have a plan. With more than 20 varieties, Recipe Ready vegetables have recipes right on the package for everyone’s favorites, such as stir-fries, fajitas, tacos, chicken and pasta, hamburgers and more. • Take advantage of cooking short cuts. Using precut, high quality vegetable varieties not only saves money on wasted produce, but also on shopping and prep time without sacrificing the quality and taste of the meal. Plus, since the ingredients are already chopped, the only thing you have to open is the bag. Goodbye cutting board, hello Recipe Ready! • Enlist helpers. Having the kids help with some of the cooking makes the process more fun, plus kids are more likely to eat what they create. Have kids mix ingredients, top dishes with garnishes and help put dinner on the table. “At Birds Eye, we’re dedicated to creating simple solutions for dinnertime,” said Birds Eye Chef Michael Christiansen. “Recipe Ready helps families save time during the dinner hour by cutting out the washing, slicing and dicing of vegetables.” Chef Christiansen continues, “One of my favorite dishes to make during the colder months is Easiest Ever Chili using Recipe Ready Chopped Green Peppers & Onions - it’s hearty, delicious and perfect for chilly weather. My family loves it, including the kids because they get to help out adding the veggies to the skillet and topping the dish with sour cream before digging in.” Recipe Ready vegetables provide a nutritious and time-saving solution for busy families. Fill your freezer with all the varieties to ensure delightful meals every night of the week. Find more recipes and ideas at www.birdseye.com/recipeready.

EASIEST EVER CHILI Preparation time: 5 minutes; cooking time: 25 minutes; makes four servings 1 pound lean ground beef 1, 8-ounce bag Birds Eye® Recipe Ready Chopped Green Peppers & Onions

1, 15-5-ounce can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained 1, 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes 2 tablespoons chili powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (optional) Brown ground beef with Recipe Ready Chopped Green Peppers & Onions in medium saucepot. Add remaining ingredients and simmer uncovered, 20 minutes. Serve, if desired, with reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese and light sour cream. Source: Birds Eye® Classic, comforting soup gets a pork-inspired twist

“If I wasn’t a BBQ expert, I’d be cooking soups like this one all day long,” said Chef Ray Lampe, BBQ expert and author of the just-released cookbook, Pork Chop. He’s referring to his modern interpretation of a classic comfort food dish, Pork Chop Noodle Soup - a dish he says is “a better cure for the common cold” – filled with chunks of juicy, perfectly seasoned pork as well as carrots, celery, a blend of savory herbs and tender rotini pasta. Remember, for juicy and tender chops as an ingredient or center-of-the-plate star, cook to an internal temperature between 145 degrees (medium rare), followed by a three-minute rest and 160 degrees (medium), using a digital thermometer to ensure accuracy.

PORK CHOP NOODLE SOUP Courtesy of Chef Ray Lampe, Dr. BBQ, from his cookbook Pork Chop (2013, Chronicle Books) Makes 8 to 10 servings 3 ribeye pork chops, bone-in, about 3/4-inch thick Salt and pepper 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 2 cups chicken broth or pork stock 4 cups unsalted vegetable broth 1 red onion, chopped 4 carrots, chopped 2 large celery sticks, chopped 2 garlic cloves, crushed 1 teaspoon dried thyme 1/2 teaspoon dried basil 1 cup dried rotini pasta Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chops and cook for about 4 minutes, until golden brown. Flip and cook for 4 minutes more, until golden brown. Transfer chops to plate and set aside. Pour half of chicken broth into pot, scraping all browned bits from bottom. Add remaining chicken broth, vegetable broth, onion, carrots, celery and garlic. Mix well and bring to a simmer. Add 1 quart water, thyme, basil, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Mix well and bring to a simmer. Add chops back to pot and return to a simmer. Reduce heat and simmer for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally, being careful not to break up chops. Transfer chops to plate, trying not to break them up. Set aside to cool. Raise heat and bring soup to a boil. Add pasta and cook for about 12 minutes, until tender. When chops are cool, pull them apart, discarding all bones and fat. Add meat back to soup and stir well. Taste for salt and pepper, and add if needed, before serving. Source: National Pork Board

At the request of the Postmaster General the name was shortened from Wild Rye Creek to simply Rye. In the summer of 1887 the Boardmans ended their mercantile business in Rye and moved to the growing town of Payson where they began a long and civicminded residency. The business in Rye was taken over by Samuel J. Peters, and for the next two years he was the postmaster. Then in the summer of 1890 Samuel A. Haught Jr. and his wife Dagmar filed a homestead claim in Rye and instituted the H-Bar brand that they brought with them from Texas. They had made their pilgrimage to the Rim Country five years earlier in 1885 and settled their first home at the mouth of Dude Creek. Haught planned to open a store there, having heard from his Uncle Fred (the first the Haught clan to come to the Rim Country) that a railroad was to come down the East Verde canyon. When it became obvious that would not happen, the Haughts moved to Rye. In August of 1892 tragedy struck the family when four of their small children died from diphtheria, which they contracted from an itinerant cowboy who used their water ladle. Sam Haught Jr. opened a store and post office in their home at Rye and was postmaster until the fall of 1905 when he was elected to the 23rd Arizona Territorial Legislature, serving in the House. Dagmar took over as postmistress. By this time Sam Haught was

looked upon as a cattle baron, having 10,000 cattle and 1,000 brood mares. His range extended from his H-Bar ranch in Rye up through Sunflower Valley. In 1907 a severe depression hit America and the Haughts were economically devastated. That was the last straw for the marriage of Sam and Dagmar, a marriage that had become rocky after the loss of their four children. In 1909, when the divorce became final, Sam sold his H-Bar ranch to an absentee owner. That same year the post office in Rye was discontinued. In 1912 a big change took place in Rye when the Chilson brothers, Boss, Jesse, Charlie and John, sold their Sunflower ranch and bought five ranches in the Rye area. These were the VH, H-Bar and Cross-F and Bar-T-Bar brands. The brands usually went with the land in those days. The community of Rye took on more life when other families “proved up” on their homesteads there: Chilson in 1919, Hiram Carther in 1919, Juna Portillo in 1921 and James Harry Brown in 1922. At this time the Bush Highway had pushed over the Mazatzals and where it crossed Rye Creek it passed the Brown ranch where they established a store. Here Polly Brown operated the store for some years before becoming a businesswoman on Payson’s Main Street. By 1932 the Bush Highway was graded, following along Rye Creek and turning at Rye to climb over

the hill to Payson. Rye was called the “turn around point” because the only way to keep gasoline flowing to the engines of Model T Fords on a steep incline was to back up. Gasoline was not pumped to the engines but flowed by gravity. In 1955 twin brothers Dick and Tom Connolly got out of the service and bought 10 acres in Rye from Charlie Chilson. They built a store, restaurant and service station. Dick married Dora Lee Anderson, Payson’s first rodeo queen, and they lived in the new establishment at Rye. The Bee Line Highway (spelled as two words in those days) had just realigned the old Bush Highway but was not yet paved. This provided the Connollys with plenty of flat tires to fix. The 1957 issue of Tonto Trails highlighted the Connolly’s store, “Today there is an ever growing collection of historical saddles, guns, buggies and other items typical of the west to remind you of the rugged pioneers that first pushed their way through the Tonto country .... Today the new store, Connolly’s at Rye, located 10 miles south of Payson at the foot of Ox Bow Hill, offers everything for the traveler: spacious dining room, excellent foods, cold beer and soft drinks, modern service station, as well as a stupendous view and year-round pleasant temperature. All have gone together to make Rye the most restful and cheerful stop on the Bee Line Highway.”

Guests at the annual Mogollon Health Alliance Black & White Ball always enjoy great music by the Sonoran Swing Orchestra (above) and a sumptuous feast by the chef and culinary staff at the Mazatzal Hotel & Casino.

Hooray for Hollywood! Black & White Ball celebrates Old Hollywood The Mogollon Health Alliance of volunteers in the Rim Country medical community will have its annual Black & White Ball Saturday, Jan. 18. The event is always built around a fun theme and this year that theme is Celebrate the Glamour of Vintage Hollywood. That means, those attending are encouraged to dress in formal attire reminiscent of the golden age of movies ... which many experts say is probably the year of 1939, when some of the best movies ever were made — remember “Gone With the Wind” and “The Wizard of Oz” anyone? See for yourself with a Google search of “Top Movies of 1939” — and maybe get

some inspiration for your evening wear. You don’t have to limit your imagination to a single year though. Another visit on Google to find out about the golden age of Hollywood (the site is called “Hollywood’s Golden Age) shows the age started in 1930 and continued to 1959 — so, ladies, your interpretation of Marilyn is fair game. And guys — you can channel anyone from Clark Gable and Spencer Tracy to Rock Hudson and James Dean. Once again the Sonoran Swing Band will provide the great dance music planned for the evening. There will be prizes awarded for the best dancers and the best dressed, plus drawings for elegant gifts. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. at the Mazatzal Hotel and Casino Event Room. Tickets are $200 per person or $1,500 for a table of eight. Reservations must be received by Friday, Jan. 10. Call (928) 472-2588.

Last year’s Black & White Ball was all about Chicago in its many ages and stages — with the roaring ’20s and gangster chic among the favorite costumes of the guests attending the Mogollon Health Alliance’s major fund-raising event (at left). Welcoming guests last year was Payson Mayor Kenny Evans (below), who is also a member of the MHA board.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Although you’re getting kudos and other positive reactions to your suggestions, don’t let the cheers drown out some valid criticisms. Better to deal with them now than later. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Following your keen Bovine intuition pays off, as you not only reassess the suggestions some people are putting in front of you, but also their agendas for doing so. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You continue on a high-enthusiasm cycle as that new project you’ve assumed takes shape. You’re also buoyed by the anticipation of receiving some good news about a personal matter. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your eagerness to immerse yourself in your new assignment is understandable. But be careful that you don’t forget to take care of that pressing personal situation as well. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a good time to learn a new skill that could give a clever Cat an edge in the upcoming competition for workplace opportunities. Enjoy the arts this weekend with someone special. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You could risk creating an impasse if you insist on expecting more from others than they’re prepared to give. Showing flexibility in what you’ll accept could prevent a stalemate. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Although you can weigh all factors of a dispute to find an agreeable solution for others, you might need the skilled input of someone you trust to help you deal with an ongoing situation of your own. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) The good news is that your brief period of self-doubt turns into a positive “I can do anything” attitude. The better news is that you’ll soon be able to prove it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a good time for Sagittarians to start making travel plans while you still can select from a wide menu of choices and deals, and not be forced to settle for leftovers. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Like your zodiacal sign, the sure-footed Goat, you won’t allow obstacles in your path to keep you from reaching your goal. Don’t be surprised by who asks to go along with you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Let your head dominate your heart as you consider the risks that might be involved in agreeing to be a friend’s co-signer or otherwise act as his or her backup in a financial matter. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Prioritize: Resolve to close the door and let your voicemail take your phone calls while you finish up a task before the end-of-week deadline. Then go out and enjoy a fun-filled weekend. BORN THIS WEEK: Your capacity for care and compassion helps to bring comfort to others. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

RIM REVIEW • JANUARY 8, 2014

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Will you please do a column on shingles? I have gone through 12 weeks of the nastiest, worst illness possible. I never hear anything on TV about it. — J.C. ANSWER: I’ll have another go at shingles. Others probably think I overdo it. But it’s such a common problem of older people that it deserves repetition. Shingles is the work of the reawakened chickenpox virus that has been asleep in nerve cells ever since a person was infected, usually in childhood. It’s a safe bet to say you were infected even if you don’t recall it; more than 95 percent of adults were. The rash of shingles usually disappears in two to four weeks. Pain, however, can stay with you. The pain is now called postherpetic neuralgia. In making the trip to the skin, the virus damaged the nerve roots that it crawled down to reach the skin. Pain is a consequence of the nerve injury. A large number of treatments exist for this aftermath of shingles. One is amitriptyline, whose primary use is relief of depression. It also has pain-relieving properties in doses lower than what’s given for depression. Neurontin (gabapentin) is a seizure-control medicine that often is successful in suppressing pain. The extended-release form of this drug, called Gralise, is given only once a day. Lyrica (pregabalin) has had a good record in quieting postherpetic neuralgia. Lidocaine skin patches, placed on the skin where pain is felt, are another way to ease pain without taking an oral medicine. Lidocaine is a numbing agent. The latest innovation for shingles treatment is Qutenza, another skin-patch medicine. The doctor has to apply this patch, and lets it stay on the skin for an hour. Then the doctor removes the patch, and the effect of the medicine lasts for three months. It is expensive. In cases where no treatment brings relief, opioids — pain relievers of the morphine family — have a place in treatment, so long as they are supervised carefully by the doctor. The booklet on shingles explains this problem in depth. Readers can order a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue — No. 1201W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 328536475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I suffered from an enlarged prostate, so I was sent to a urologist. He checked for cancer, but I don’t have it. He put me on Flomax and Avodart. After three years, the doctor said the medicines were no longer working and that I had to have surgery or my bladder would be damaged and I would have to carry a bag for the rest of my life. I am 57. I had a transurethral resection of the prostate, TURP. It’s been two months, and I still am passing blood clots. Is this normal? — J.G. ANSWER: It’s normal to bleed after a TURP, but it’s not normal to be bleeding two months after the procedure. Give the urologist a call. Let him examine you again and determine why the bleeding is lasting this long. Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 328536475.
