Hear Pancrazi jazz quartet Jan. 13

Good go

Jazz guitar vocalist Pete Pancrazi and his quartet will perform at 2 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 13 at Community Presbyterian Church, 800 W. Main St., Payson. Pete Pancrazi was named by Downbeat Magazine as the “one to watch,” and audiences around Arizona voted him “Jazz Guitar Player of the Year.” A graduate of the prestigious Berklee School of Music in Boston, he was awarded the Berklee Performer/Songwriter Award four times, and won the Berklee Songwriter competition two times. While he is a gifted jazz guitarist, Pete appeals to most with his vocal renditions of timeless swing and pop standards. For sure, fans of the guitar, and of instrumental jazz will enjoy Pete’s playing. Add Pete’s special vocal stylings to the mix of highly popular tunes that he has prepared, and you are in store for a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon of live music. Pete, with pianist Claudia Bloom, bassist Vic Kottner, and local drummer Gerry Reynolds, will form the jazz quartet. The monthly jazz series at the Community Presbyterian Church is supported solely by donations received at the door, and by the Payson Friends of Jazz who volunteer. Refreshments will be served. An RSVP is encouraged — send an e-mail to GerryReynolds@hotmail.com.

TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS

VACATIONS TO GO! Since we are already in a new year, some readers are already beginning to plan a vacation for spring and summer. My information tells me that travel will be much more popular this year than last, barring any major world problem. Last year Europe and the Mediterranean area were very popular along with Central and South America, plus river and ocean cruising in general. In the United States, automobile travel gained strength with the West Coast gaining popularity along with our National Parks. Today, I will outline a few vacations you may wish to consider. Are you a jazz fan? On March 6 you can arrive at the RitzCarlton, New Orleans and be welcomed by a cocktail reception with a jazz trio, then over to famed Aurnaud’s KEN BROOKS restaurant for dinner. You would be part of a Tauck Tours Jazz event that will include New Orleans sightseeing with scheduled talks by jazz experts and a visit to a cultural museum with a Jazz concert on March 8. There will also be a dinner cruise on Steamboat Natchez with Doreen’s Jazz and Dukes of Dixieland. This is the ultimate for jazz fans, and you’ll want to be there. Fares begin at $3,600 double. Call Tauck tours at 1-800-458-2825. And, speaking of New Orleans, you may wish to consider taking the big red paddle wheeler “American Queen” on a Mississippi River cruise with fares starting at just $1,095 for a four-day cruise with two hotel nights. You will travel from New Orleans to old south towns along the river. Onboard you will be entertained by a celebrity orchestra such as the Harry James Orchestra, Herb Reed’s Platters, Artie Shaw’s Orchestra and other known music makers. You’ll enjoy river life as you cruise by in paddle wheel comfort. Many staterooms offer private balconies. The food will feature old south recipes served in a charming style of yesteryear. Call the American Queen Steamboat Company and inquire about their offerings and request a brochure. Phone 1-888-749-5280. A British company I have cruised with several times is offering an interesting cruise onboard their recently acquired “Voyager” (15,000 gross tons) carrying only 500 passengers that will depart London (Portsmoth), England with stops in England, Ireland and Scotland. The cruise departs May 14 for 12 days. Cruise fares begin at $1,899 per person, cruise only. Call 1-866-623-2689 for more information. American Cruise Lines are offering an 8day cruise from Jacksonville, Florida down the coast protected by the inland waterway to visit Palatka for a visit to Ravine Gardens State Park, then continue on to the Ocala National Forest, to Green Cove Springs, a cruise on the Tolomato River, St. Augustine, Amelia Island to explore the historic ruins and unique architecture of the Victorian homes and shops in the Fernandina Beach Historic District then return to

Jazz fans might like a dinner cruise on Steamboat Natchez with Doreen’s Jazz and Dukes of Dixieland. It’s all part of a Tauck Tours jazz event slated for early March.

Jacksonville. Departures are March 16, 23 and 30, 2013. You have with this company an all American crew and officers and a boat built in the U.S. Call American Cruise Lines at 1-866-226-9642. Their boats carry between 50 and 150 passengers and some staterooms include balconies. Another British company, Swan Hellenic, is offering 14- and 15-day cruises this summer on their Minerva which was recently enhanced and now features more public rooms, more balconies and re-modeled staterooms. The ship is 12,000 gross tons and carries 350 guests. Their fares include escorted shore tours, all gratuities, guest speakers and wine with dinner. Fares are reasonable for what is offered. The Minerva sails in the Mediterranean. Call them at 1-866-923-9182. If you are a rail fan, here is one for you: Africa’s Rovos rails on several Pride of Africa itineraries with stops between CapeTown and Dar es Salaam, a 5-country, 14day trip in a very deluxe train. Departures out of Cape Town, South Africa are scheduled for June 29 and Sept. 28. Each cabin aboard the train has shower, sink and toilet and is quite roomy. The train also carries two diners, two lounges, outdoor viewing area and windows that open. This train is even more luxurious than the Orient Express. Fares for 2013 begin at $5,200 per person for train travel only. Get a free color brochure by calling 1-800-478-4881. If I had a rich uncle, I would love to take one of these trips. Ever cruise eastern Canada? If not, consider Holland America Lines 15-day cruise repositioning the Maasdam May 3 to Canada for summer cruising. The itinerary includes sailing from Ft. Lauderdale, Fl.

stopping at Charleston, Bar Harbor, Halifax, Sydney, Prince Edward Island, a sail through the Gaspe area and Sagunay Fjord to Quebec City ending at Montreal. Fares are in the area of $2,100 per person, cruise only for a good cabin. This portion of Canada is very scenic. The weather will be cool, so bring clothes accordingly. Holland America Line may be contacted at: 1-800877-724-5425 and request a brochure. Think you would enjoy a National Geographic/Lindblad Expeditions cruise lasting 16 nights aboard the National Geographic Explorer departing May 24? You would board the ship in Copenhagen, Denmark and sail first to Rasvag, Norway, then to Bergen, Nordfjord in the Fjords and cruising through some of the most beautiful area in the world. Then, north to the Loften Islands where passengers will board Zodiacs to view wildlife, a small fishing village and back on ship to cruise one of the most famous fjords in Norway, the dramatic Trolifjord. On to Tromso which is called the “Gateway to the Arctic.” You will visit the Polar Museum and Arctic Cathedral. Then cruise further north to the high arctic to explore Bear Island, and glide a Zodiac into the coves and inlets of this mistshrouded island populated by hundreds of thousands of fulmars, kittiwakes and guillemots. You are now in the Arctic Svalbard and will be looking for more polar bears along with other wildlife as you experience this once-in-a-lifetime adventure. The cruise ends at Oslo, Norway June 10 where you can return home by air. Fares begin at $13,899 per person, cruise only. Holland America Line has one smaller ship, the 38,000-ton, 850-passenger Prinsendam that will depart Ft.

Lauderdale, Florida, May 17 on a 31-day Transatlantic and Baltic voyage ending at Tilbury, England. Some of the ports of call will be Le Havre for Paris, Hamburg, Warnemunde for Berlin, and pass through the Kiel Canal. Visit Helsinki, Finland, Stockholm, Copenhagen and more. There will also be shore excursions to St. Petersburg. A wonderful itinerary on a comfortable, smaller ship. Fares begin in the range of $5,000 cruise only. You would have to purchase only a one-way air ticket home from London. Cunard Line with their prestigious ships has scheduled from Southampton, England, St. Petersburg and Baltic cruises on their Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth departing May 1 and June 1 on 14-day cruises. If you think you might enjoy the formality of two very fine ships, Cunard just may be your cruise line this summer. Fares for the two-week cruise only are $3,399 for a room with a view, per person. Air fares will be high this summer for transatlantic flights, so be sure to shop around or use a travel agent. YMT vacations is planning a people-topeople tour from Miami to Havana, Cuba for an 8-day tour which will cover Havana, the outback country and various farms and museums along with seminars and some meals. Fares begin in the area of $2,300 plus the extra meals and Cuban visa charges. Information I have is sketchy, but give YMT vacations a call at 1-800-922-9000 if you are serious about traveling to Cuba. European river cruising is becoming popular and will be very big in 2013. In just a short time, I will write about the River Boat cruise lines and what they will be offering this year.

RIM HISTORY RIM HISTORY RIM COUNTRY HISTORY | TIM EHRHARDT

PAYSON IN THE 1950S The 1950s were a period of growth and change in the Payson region that would lay the groundwork for much more future growth. The era is generally considered a good one in America’s history. Harry Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower were presidents and Dan Garvey, Howard Pyle, Ernest McFarland and Paul Fannin were Arizona governors during that period. Here’s a look at the 1950s in Payson. After World War II TIM EHRHARDT ended in 1945, the American obsession with the automobile began to kick into high gear. Places that were once very far off became closer, particularly as roads improved. People wanted to get back to nature and this made the Payson region very appealing. It was a very small place back then, with well under 1,000 people and probably less than 500. In 1950 it was still more than five hours to get to Payson from Phoenix. By the end of the decade, that time had at least been cut in half as the Beeline Highway was completed. While the

possibility of a highway had been talked about for a while, it made a crucial step forward in the late part of 1950 as this clip from a Nov. 15, 1950 Tucson Daily Citizen article shows. “Phoenix, Nov. 15, (UP) - The PhoenixPayson beeline highway was nearer reality today after the forest highway board approved a $2,270,000 construction program for the new road. “The board approved construction of 20 miles of the route, which will reduce the distance from Phoenix to Payson to 97 miles from the present 130. The highway is part of a program to make state recreational areas near Payson easily accessible to central Arizonians.” This was a pivotal first step and led folks to begin to invest in the region knowing that it would soon have a mainline connection to more populated areas. By the

mid-1950s a variety of subdivisions had been put in or were planned. People like Steve Hathaway, Bill Miller and Preston Dooley played a role in this with subdivisions like Payson Woodlands, Oak Terrace and Rodeo Ranches. The weather was a draw for this region, but there was also a mythical aspect as this December 23, 1950 Tucson Daily Citizen clip shows. “Among the places in Arizona replete with memories of six-guns, feuds and bold men, is the Tonto Basin country. The villages of Pine and Payson, and the surrounding mountain forests are an ideal setting for the legends of early days which fill them, while Pleasant Valley to the east, is famous as the locale of the bloodiest of all range wars. “Tonto Basin and its overhanging Mogollon Rim are known wherever books are read, and visitors find this comparatively virgin country a delightful and hospitable resort region.” One of the entities that faced challenges in the evolving Payson area was the Forest Service. A 1951 report obtained from the National Archives in Denver, Colo. shows that this was something that they were very aware of and concerned about. “Heavy construction work is now under way on the Mazatzal sector of the Bush Highway and early black-topping of the road appears assured. With realignment and paving of this highway, Phoenix and the rest of the lower valley will soon have a vastly improved route up into the rim country to enjoy the cool climate afforded there. Particularly in the pine type, rapidly expanding demands may be expected to develop for public camp(ing) and picnic use as well as summer home units. These demands will come whether or not the Forest Service has any funds with which to make needed developments. We may confidently look forward to these demands creating quite a problem in public use pressures and an adroitly conducted informational program might not be amiss.” The concept of summer home subdivisions is a key one. At the time of this Forest Service report, two summer home subdivisions had been placed in the region: See Canyon and Washington Park. It would not be long until others were put in. A lot of the old homesteads had not yet been developed and Payson’s footprint was still very small: McLane and Main was the heart of town and would be for quite some time. Summer home subdivisions consisted of land leased for a yearly fee, and were typically closed during the winter months. Many of these original summer home subdivisions have since been converted to privately owned land through land exchanges. Paysonites dealt with the typical concerns of small-town America during this era. There was the Korean War between 1950 and 1953, which drew some troops from Payson. Even after that conflict ended, many locals would enter the mili-

tary. It was still a small town whose comings and goings were reported in a regular correspondence column in The Arizona Republic written by Gladys Meredith. As Payson saw a boost in growth during the 1950s, her husband T.L. Meredith built many homes. Camp Geronimo was moved in 1956 to its current site, the former Spade Ranch. The former site would be turned into a camping area, and as the number of visitors continued to grow, such facilities were clearly needed. Forest Service figures provided in a June 12, 1955 article in The Arizona Republic were as follows: 275 hunters, 1,000 fishermen, 101,000 campers or picnickers. The last number had suppos-

edly doubled during the prior five years. A May 14, 1956 article in The Arizona Republic stated that, “Last year, 754,560 visitors enjoyed the many outdoor activities that have been made available on this 2,900,000-acre playground.” As the road between Phoenix and Payson improved, the region saw more and more visitors. Payson’s annual rodeo continued to gain in popularity and timber was still big industry with the Owens Brothers leading the way. The paving of the Beeline Highway was completed in 1958 and the decade saw much growth, though Payson’s population was still less than 1,000 by the time 1960 arrived. The stage was set though for more growth.

The Beeline Highway through Payson was nothing spectacular by today’s standards (see road in top left part of photo above), but it made a world of difference in travel time. Consequently, to keep up with the growth it brought, some big logs were processed by Owens Bros. Lumber (photo at left).

COVER STORY

Masters of Motown bring the “Motor City” sounds of the ’60s to the Payson High School Auditorium at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 22, courtesy of the Tonto Community Concert Association.

Waxing nostalgic Masters of Motown offer musical history lessons Rim residents of a certain age know the “Motown Sound” to their core. You can’t listen to it without moving with the rhythm — even if that’s just tapping your toes. Get ready to revel in that great sound of the ’60s when the Tonto Community Concert Association presents the Masters of Motown in a 7 p.m. performance Tuesday, Jan. 22 at the Payson High School Auditorium. Masters of Motown has been called the most entertaining history lesson ever performed. This show authentically reproduces the look, choreography, style and sound made famous by a record label that was relatively unknown at the time but went on to profoundly influence the history of popular music. The performance goes beyond the music to preserve the integrity of the entire Motown experience. For many, Masters of Motown is the ultimate stroll down memory lane. For younger generations, the show offers a way to experience a period in the country’s past that produced many of the greatest music acts ever recorded. The show features a completely live performance with seasoned musicians and world-class performers from The TFC Band. This group has toured extensively

worldwide for more than 30 years, performing at private events, festivals, casinos, corporate events and military bases from coast to coast and overseas, including tours of Europe and Africa. After having toured together for decades, The TFC Band created the Masters of Motown show in 2008 as a way to heighten the experience for their fans and deliver the full package — a stage show which captures the sights, sounds and feel of the Motown era.

Make broccoli a family favorite If you’re looking for delicious ways to bring more nutrition to the family table, it’s hard to beat broccoli. Broccoli is on most top 10 lists of “superfoods” and packs a lot of nutrients in each bite. “Easily incorporated into a variety of dishes, broccoli offers a great way for busy families to eat healthy on a daily basis,” said Rachel Brandeis, registered dietitian. For an extra nutrient boost, try these recipes made with Eat Smart Beneforté broccoli. “Beneforté broccoli provides more phytonutrient glucoraphanin, which naturally strengthens your antioxidant enzyme levels to help maintain the antioxidant activity of vitamins A, C and E in your body. These vitamins protect your body from potentially damaging free radicals and environmental stresses,” Brandeis said. Beneforté broccoli is available in the packaged produce section of grocery stores. Find out more at www.EatSmartBeneforte.com.

BROCCOLI STIR-FRY Serves: 4 1 teaspoon vegetable oil 2 shallots, peeled and thinly sliced 4 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced 1 cup assorted Asian mushrooms (maitake, white buna-shimeji, enoki, yellow foot, shiitake) 1/2 head Napa cabbage, shredded 1-1/2 cups of Eat Smart Beneforté broccoli florets (or other) 1-1/2 cups snow peas 1 red bell pepper, chopped Sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste Sprouts for garnish Heat large sauté pan with oil over medium high heat. Cook shallots until translucent, about 2 minutes, add garlic. Cook for 1 minute. Add mushrooms and cook until liquid dissolves, about 5 minutes. Add cabbage, broccoli, snow peas and bell pepper; cook for 3 minutes. Top with sprouts. Serve immediately.

BROCCOLI WITH FUSILLI AND RED PEPPER Serves: 6 to 8 1-1/2 cups of Eat Smart Beneforté broccoli florets (or other) 3 teaspoons salt, divided 1/2 pound fusilli pasta 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced into long thin strips 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1 lemon zest 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2-1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice Freshly grated Parmesan (optional) Cook broccoli for 3 minutes in a large pot of boiling water with 1 teaspoon salt. Remove from water with slotted spoon. Place in large bowl and set aside. In same water, cook pasta according to package directions, about 10 minutes. Drain well and add to broccoli. While pasta is cooking, in small sauté pan, heat oil and cook sliced red pepper, garlic and lemon zest over medium-low heat for 3 minutes. Off heat, add 2 teaspoons salt, red pepper flakes, pepper and lemon juice. Mix and pour this over broccoli and pasta. Toss well. Season to taste, sprinkle with cheese (if using), and serve. For added protein, shred half of a cooked store-bought roasted chicken, then toss with pasta and serve.

ROASTED BROCCOLI Serves: 4 1-1/2 cups of Eat Smart Beneforté broccoli florets (or other) 3 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced 2 tablespoons olive oil Salt and pepper to taste 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon lemon zest 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan 3 tablespoons toasted pine nuts 1 teaspoon chopped basil (optional) Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Broccoli Stir-Fry

In large bowl, toss broccoli with garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper. Place broccoli in a single layer on baking sheet. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, turning once during cooking, until crisp-tender. Remove broccoli immediately to serving bowl and toss with lemon juice and zest, Parmesan, pine nuts and basil. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve hot.

BROCCOLI AND FRESH TOMATO PIZZA Yield: 1 pizza (serves 6 to 8) 1 whole wheat, 12-inch ready-to-bake pizza crust 4 tablespoons olive oil 4 cloves garlic, minced 2/3 cup shredded mozzarella-provolone cheese blend, or 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella and 1/3 cup shredded provolone 1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup of Eat Smart Beneforté broccoli florets, raw and quartered (or other) 2 Roma tomatoes, chopped coarse Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place pizza crust on cookie sheet. Pour olive oil into small pan; heat and add garlic. Stir for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to small cup to cool. Pour garlic olive oil mixture over crust, distributing evenly. Sprinkle mozzarella-provolone blend evenly over crust. Sprinkle cheddar cheese evenly over top of mozzarella-provolone blend. Place broccoli on top of cheese; distribute evenly. Place tomatoes on top of pizza; distribute evenly. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven; let sit for 2 minutes before slicing and serving. Note: Cooking decreases the glucoraphanin content of broccoli. The best way to get the health benefits from any broccoli is to eat it raw or lightly steamed. Source: Beneforté

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

Teenagers often make acne worse BY PAUL G. DONOHUE, M.D. 2013 NORTH AMERICA SYND., INC.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am 17 years old. I have pimples all over my face. The only thing that helped was an antibiotic, but it made me sensitive to sunlight. My parents don’t want me to continue to use an antibiotic. Can you help? — G.G. ANSWER: Let’s start with a couple of mistakes made by most people with acne. Don’t scrub your face or any place where acne has broken out. Scrubbing causes irritation and worsens acne. Use a mild soap like Dove when washing. Don’t squeeze pimples, whiteheads or blackheads. You force bacteria into adjacent skin. Acne develops because of clogged pores through which hairs grow and through which sebaceous (oil) glands empty their oil onto the skin. The first signs of trouble are whiteheads or blackheads. They indicate that the pore is plugged. Deep in the pore, down from the blockage, the oil glands continue to secrete oil and greatly distend the pore, which can rupture. Bacteria thrive on the oil. At this point, a pimple is born. Acne control involves unplugging the pore, eliminating the bacteria and putting the brakes on oil production. The oil production is in high gear because of the increase of male hormones at this time in life. Benzoyl peroxide unplugs pores. Brand names include Clearasil and AcneClear, both available without prescription, as are many other brands. From this point on, effective medicines require a prescription. The first choice is retinoids — Renova cream and Retin-A. They’re often used on alternating days with benzoyl peroxide. The next step up is antibiotics. In creams and lotions, they aren’t absorbed very much. Clindamycin and erythromycin are two such products. If no progress comes from skin-applied antibiotics, then oral antibiotics are the next step. Tetracycline, doxycycline and minocycline are examples. Your parents should reconsider their ban on their use. Even if they sensitize you to sunlight, simply stay out of sunlight when using them. They worked for you. I haven’t listed all acne medicines. Bad acne, like yours, calls for treatment by the family doctor or a dermatologist. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am writing on behalf of several neighbors who have started soaking golden raisins in gin. Each of them takes nine such raisins a day. They claim this was a method shown on television to remedy arthritis. Have you ever heard of this? Our curiosity is getting the best of us. — E.G. ANSWER: I have heard this many times. No one has proven it works. No reliable information suggests it might work. I don’t believe it’s a legitimate arthritis treatment. However, if you like gin and like raisins, then the practice is OK, so long as you don’t go overboard on taking in too much alcohol. The booklet on arthritis describes the different kinds of arthritis and their treatments. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue — No. 301W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.
