Rim Country Celts A special event planned by the Rim Country Celts is an evening of commemorative poetry and music celebrating Robert Burns from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 15 with Cinnamon Twist playing at Dimi Espresso Café, 612 N. Beeline Hwy., Payson. According to the “Official Robert Burns” Web site, Robert Burns Country, the annual celebratory tribute to the life, works and spirit of the great Scottish poet, Robert Burns (1759-1796) is celebrated on, or about, the Bard’s birthday, Jan. 25. Burns Suppers range from formal gatherings to uproariously informal rave-ups. Most Burns Suppers fall in the middle of this range, and adhere, more or less, to some sort of time honored form which includes the eating of a traditional Scottish meal, the drinking of Scotch whisky, and the recitation of works by, about, and in the spirit of the Bard. The event planned by the Rim Country Celts for Wednesday, Jan. 15 is a little more modest. Family Movie Night The congregation of Shepherd of the Pines Lutheran Church, 507 W.

TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS

POSITIONING CRUISES Positioning cruises are what you might imagine, transferring a ship from one cruise area to another. Popular positioning cruises are often from Florida to the Mediterranean or vice versa. Some ships only cruise the Caribbean during the winter season and then re-position to, let’s say, Barcelona for a summer season. These cruises are priced usually lower per day than the ordinary cruise product. However, they have become very popular with a growing segment of cruise passengers who have realized that these itineraries are usually slower paced, more relaxing and with longer durations than most cruises. Once you get hooked on cruising as your main vacation it’s hard to change. You keep KEN BROOKS coming back for more and more. A cruise is still the best bargain for the traveler. Your fare includes the passage, all food onboard ship, all entertainment, great service and relaxation with some interesting ports thrown in for good measure. Some couples find that a transoceanic crossing is still very romantic. Some of us remember movies of the 1940s and ’50s where only the rich took cruises or transatlantic voyages. You might still see one or two of these airing on the Turner Classic Movie channel. Today, all age groups book longer cruises. You will particularly enjoy longer cruises if you like more than a few days at sea. Last year Norma and I flew to Genoa, Italy, boarded a large, luxury ship that cruised us through the Mediterranean visiting several interesting ports then, into the Atlantic heading southwest to four islands in the Caribbean, docking in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. 19 days later. What a great and relaxing cruise experience it was. I will list here some positioning cruises that may interest you. Holland American Line has a 14-day cruise on their Noordam that departs on March 21 from Ft. Lauderdale with eight days at sea and calls in Cartagena, Colombia, Ponta Delgada, Portugal and Cadiz and Malaga, Spain before docking in Barcelona. Pricing begins at $699 per person. Seabourn’s luxury ship, Quest, sails from Ft. Lauderdale to Barcelona on March 22, calling only at Funchal, Portugal for two weeks of on-board pampering, the line’s Oceanview Suite is priced from $8,399. On April 14 Celebrity Cruises lovely Equinox departs Ft. Lauderdale and cruises 13 days to Malaga, Spain. Brochure fares begin at $1,599. Keep in mind that the brochure fares can usually be improved upon by booking through an online travel agency. Shop around before booking.

Some positioning cruises take travelers through the Panama Canal, such as the April 18 Norwegian Cruise Lines Norwegian Pearl sailing, which begins with a Panama Canal cruise that departs from Miami and arrives in Los Angeles 15 days later, making port calls along the way.

On April 18, the Norwegian Cruise Lines Norwegian Pearl will begin a Panama Canal cruise that begins in Miami and arrives in Los Angeles 15 days later making port calls along the way. Fares begin at $1,800. On April 27 the Norwegian Epic begins its voyage from Miami to end 11 nights later in Barcelona, Spain. Fares begin at $999 per person. How about a true transatlantic sailing departing Miami on April 29 for a 13-night sailing that ends in England at the port of Harwich? The ship is Celebrity Cruise Line’s magnificent Infinity. Prices begin at $1,499. There is a 14-day sailing out of Boston on Royal Caribbean’s Brilliance of the Seas departing for Harwich, England. There will be calls at Cork, Ireland, Cherbourg, France and Zeebrugge, Belgium with fares beginning at $1,059. Oceania’s Marina sails 16 days from New York to London on May 22, with calls that include Bar Harbor, Maine, Halifax, Sydney, Quebec City, Corner Book and Newfoundland, in Canada, Cork and Dublin, Ireland, and Falmouth, England. Fares begin at $5,299 and this includes free air travel. Other positioning cruises offer tempting prices. Celebrity’s Century has a 23night cruise available, sailing from San Francisco to Sydney, Australia on Sept. 15 with calls in Maui, Papeete and Bora Bora, Tahiti, Fuji, and New Caledonia and prices begin at $2,629. Crystal Cruises (one of the best cruise lines sailing today) is offering a wonderful 14-day cruise on their Crystal Symphony cruising from Tokyo May 1 calling at Oahu, Hawaii before ending in Los Angeles. Fares begin at $3,720.

Celebrity Cruises’ 13-night Tokyo to Vancouver cruise on the Millennium departs Japan May 10 and can be linked with a seven-day Alaska cruise. Fares start at $799. Later in the year the Norwegian Jewel will re-position from Los Angeles to Houston for a 16-day voyage. It departs Sept. 25 with fares beginning at $1,851. On Oct. 26 the Norwegian Epic of NCL will reposition with a 14-day sailing from Barcelona, Spain to Miami with several port calls in between. Prices begin at $999 per person.

Most of the fares quoted are for minimum priced interior cabins and do not include various taxes. The airfare must also be added on for most of these cruises. I still use an experienced travel agent to handle most of my travel bookings. I find them easy to use with most companies paying commissions to the agent. They can also arrange sightseeing tours for you plus your airline bookings. And, remember that most positioning cruises sell out quickly so, don’t delay, start your planning today.

RIM HISTORY RIM HISTORY BACK WHEN | STAN BROWN

RIM COUNTRY PLACES CHAPTER 35: THE SPADE RANCH

For several generations now Boy Scouts at Camp Geronimo on Webber Creek have shivered in terror around their campfire as the story of the Mogollon Monster is told once again. It seems, according to the tale, a settler named Bill Spade built a log cabin right there not far from where the Scouts were listening. One night he was attacked by the Monster and the next day searchers could not find his body. What they found was his face, torn off and hanging from the branch of a tree. Years later when Camp Geronimo was built next to that empty cabin the hulking form of the Monster was seen occasionally lurking there, looking for fresh blood. [1] To keep the records straight, no one by the name of Spade appears in the Great Register for Yavapai or Gila counties and no one by that name can be found in the Arizona Territorial census rolls for 1860, 1870, 1890 or 1900. The more accurate source for STAN BROWN the old cabin on upper Webber Creek is related by Globe educator Jess Hayes in his book “Sheriff Thompson’s Day.” A 19-yearold adventurous lad named John Henry Thompson arrived at the head of Webber Creek around 1880 and staked a claim to 160 acres. There “he built a cabin hewn from logs cut in the nearby forest.” [2] Thompson married Carrie Nash and they settled in Payson while working the Webber Creek ranch. He later became Gila County sheriff and held that office more terms than any other territorial sheriff in Arizona. Because the ranch was just under the Mogollon Rim he was nicknamed “Rim Rock Henry.” His work as sheriff was too much to allow his continued ranching and he sold the ranch to Frank and Mary Herron. They patented the land in 1914. That same year the Herron’s daughter Mary was married to John Lazear of Pine and they took over the Thompson ranch. They also purchased the Spade Ranch further down Webber Creek, owned by William Craig and Paul Vogel. [3] So how did the name Spade come about, if there was no person by that name?

Paul Vogel was one of the earliest settlers in the Rim Country. He was a bachelor miner and did not raise a family whose descendants remained to tell his story. He was born March 24, 1842 in Alsace, France, and as a boy immigrated to America with his parents. They settled in Illinois, and Vogel was mustered into the Union Army at Chicago on Aug. 8, 1861. As a private in the 24th Illinois Volunteer Infantry he saw much action during the Civil War, and was mustered out Aug. 6, 1864. He then contracted with the government as a muleskinner and met a wagon master named William Craig. The two men soon partnered in a freighting business, and in 1880 they heard there was gold in Arizona’s central mountains. Deciding to try their luck they came to the Rim Country. They arrived at the mining camp of Marysville on Feb. 10, 1881, and while prospecting they established a claim called the Single Standard Mine. After spending several thousand dollars of investors’ money on the mine with little pay dirt, the venture closed down. However Craig and Vogel discovered their skills in building were more lucrative than prospecting for gold. Vogel built the log fences for settlers at Indian Gardens, west of Kohl’s Ranch. When the Sidle’s house at Flowing Springs on the East Verde was burned by raiding Apaches, they hired Vogel to build a mud house reinforced with wooden rebar on Payson’s Main Street. They figured mud and sod would not burn, and right they were. That house still stands as Payson’s oldest building. The Pieper family later bought the mud house from the Sidles and lived in it while their “mansion” was built next to it in the 1890s. Vogel once told Ernest Pieper, “You know, when I built that place it took me 30 days and I got 30 dollars.” The partners Vogel and Craig established a fruit farm on the Webber Creek tract they had claimed and in the spring of 1884 they planted more than 1,200 fruit trees imported from Hirtsville, Ala. During his service in the Civil War, Vogel had made note of the beautiful orchards in Alabama and Georgia, especially the peaches that now became their major crop. They named the place Spade Ranch because of all the spading they had to do to put in the orchard. Drying the fruit became an important part of their business in order to keep it after the harvest was

over. When the peaches, apples, pears and plumbs were ripe the settlers of the Rim Country enjoyed the fruit. Ranger Fred Croxen called it “the very best orchard in the country.” In an interview with Ira Murphy, Theresa Boardman said, “They brought fruit in here (to Payson) for years and years, and supplied the whole country with fruit. They’d put in these great big old peaches and stuff the corners full of prunes. (They said) ‘Just divide up the prunes everybody.’” Craig and Vogel also acquired a small herd of cattle, which would crop the grass and eat the fallen fruit. From their headquarters at the Spade Ranch on Webber Creek the old prospectors worked the areas on either side of the creek, staking claims on two lucrative mines, The Zulu and the Grand Prize mines. Paul Vogel died in 1930, one month after his 88th birthday, and he is buried in the Payson Pioneer Cemetery. William Craig, born in 1846, was the justice of the peace in Payson in 1895-96. He died in 1938, but is not listed in the records of the Payson Pioneer Cemetery. [4] In later years the Spade Ranch was developed into a subdivision known as Geronimo Estates. NOTES

[1] Related in an Arizona Republic column by Bentley Little Oct. 29, 2000. [2] University of Arizona Press, 1968, page 2. Webber Creek was named in 1868 during the military expedition of Col. Thomas Devin. The area was mapped for the first time by the army engineer in the detachment, C. H. Webber. He placed his name on the map. [3] The Lazears operated both ranches until 1928 when they sold to John Valentine Meadows. In 1954 Raymond and Pat Cline bought the Spade Ranch, selling it in about 1960. [4] For more on Bill Craig and Paul Vogel, as reported in the memories of those who know them, see historian Jinx Pyle’s articles “Backtrackin’” in the Payson Roundup archives.

STRANGE BUT TRUE | SAMANTHA WEAVER

High-flying broomsticks forbidden in Swaziland • In the small African nation of Swaziland, the Civil Aviation Authority has set a ceiling of 500 feet on light aircraft. These aircraft, as well as kites and remote controlled toys, are not allowed to go above that limit. Also included in the category of light aircraft are broomsticks. Any witch who flies on a broomstick above that limit is subject to a fine of more than $50,000 and possible arrest. • The very first CD of a musical recording was made in 1982. The album was “The Visitors” by Swedish pop superstars ABBA. • Immigrants arriving at New York’s Ellis Island in the early years (18921920s) were given bananas to eat. Many had never seen a banana and didn’t know how to eat one — some ate the whole thing, peel and all. • If you’re thinking about moving to

another country, you might want to consider Finland. In that country, employees are offered, on average, 44 paid vacation days every year. Of course, you might want to consider that even in the warm southwestern part of the country, winters last about 100 days, with snow covering the ground from mid-October to early May. • The name of the state of Iowa (unsurprisingly) comes from a Native American language. The original word, “ayuxba,” means “sleepy ones.” • Early science-fiction author E.E. “Doc” Smith wasn’t just a writer; he also was an engineer. He’s the guy who figured out how to get powdered sugar to stick to doughnuts. • In the late 19th century, a single female Bengal tiger, known as the Champawat Tiger, was solely responsible for an

estimated 430 deaths in India and Nepal. After evading hunters and the Nepalese Army for years, she was finally killed in 1907 by a hunter named Jim Corbett. • A leech can consume 10 times its weight in its victims’ blood. • There is a planet named Gliese 436b orbiting a red dwarf star. It’s about the size of Neptune, and it’s very, very hot — roughly 820 degrees Fahrenheit. None of this is terribly unusual; what’s truly surprising is the fact that the planet’s surface is made up largely of ice (with an outer layer of hydrogen and helium) despite the heat. It seems that the gravity and atmospheric pressure are so great that water is forced into a solid form, creating so-called hot ice. • A Louisiana man once caught a grape in his mouth that was tossed from 252 feet away.

• In Japan, black cats are considered to be good luck. • If you’re ever longing for the “good old days,” you might want to keep this tidbit in mind: In 19th-century America, one of the most popular cure-all remedies was “snail water,” which was made by pounding earthworms and snails together, adding the paste to beer and boiling the whole thing. Those in need of a tonic drank it. • Sea turtles can breathe through their backsides. • If you could leap over the St. Louis Arch unassisted, you would have jumping power equivalent to that of a flea. • Before he became famous, singer Rod Stewart briefly had a job as a grave digger. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

The Rim Country Celts host events throughout the year to educate potential members and other area residents about their heritage and culture.

Expand horizons Rim Country groups give chance to grow Retirement is still a few years off for me, but I admit I’ve given some thought to how I’d like to spend those golden years. There are tons of books I’d like to read. And they most likely will be actual books, not e-reader products. I haven’t tried an e-reader yet, so I may change my mind, but I am pretty sure I will always have books. So, when Emily Linkey, director of the Payson Public Library, included a notice about The Rim Country Readers Book Discussion Group in her January events listings, I decided to check them out — and do a story about them. Here is what I discovered: There’s not really anything special about book lovers at the library. Where else would they be? But a different brand of book lovers congregates in the Young Adult Room at the Payson Public Library once a month. They make up the loosely organized Rim Country Readers Book Discussion Group and have such lively discussions the librarians and volunteers sometimes have to remind them there are other patrons they might be disturbing. The January gathering had about a dozen women

discussing the semi-biographical historical novel “The Aviator’s Wife” by Melanie Benjamin, which is about Anne Morrow Lindbergh and her marriage to Charles Lindbergh and their life together. The group talked about the woman’s growth over the years and how she managed under the domineering nature of her husband and whether or not she knew (in reality) if Lindbergh was unfaithful — taking three different mistresses with whom he fathered seven children. The group put together a list of possible titles to discuss at future meetings with everyone invited to suggest titles. The actual choices are made three or four at a time. Discussions planned for the next four months are on “Behind the Beautiful Forevers” by Katherine Boo for February; “Lottery” by Patricia Wood for March; “Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher” by Timothy Egan for April; and “The Beekeeper’s Apprentice” by Laurie King for May (the first in a series). The duties leading the discussion of each book rests with the member who made its recommendation, which means one person doesn’t have the burden of directing every exchange. Nancy O’Rourke suggested reading “The Aviator’s Wife.” “I love historical biographies and read this last summer,” she said. The discussion questions she tossed out to the group were included in the book. Some members said they were a little annoyed CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

that the book was a fictionalize biography, but that led a few to do additional research on the subject. Others said it was so well written it was hard to remember it wasn’t an actual biography. The unofficial leader of the group this year is Linda Teasley. She said about the only guideline they have is that the books being discussed are in paperback so members don’t have to spend a lot of money to get a copy. “Some use Kindles or other electronic readers, sometimes we share copies,” she said. Members usually can find a copy of the discussion book at the library. “We try to cover a variety of genres, so it’s not all historical novels or mysteries,” Teasley said. The group began meeting shortly after the library moved into the facility in Rumsey Park, according to former library director Terry Morris. At first the library even bought copies of the book for the group. But because it is so informal, they never had hard numbers on how many copies were needed as attendance ebbed and flowed. The Rim Country Readers’ membership is fairly large, Teasley said, but attendance is still fluid. “With most of the members being retirees, they travel or are only here part time,” she said. The group meets throughout the year at 10:30 the third Wednesday of every month at the library, though initially it gathered at members’ homes. There are no membership dues and the meetings are generally about 90 minutes. The members, regardless of their attendance, stay up to date on the group through e-mails Teasley sends out. They learn what books are up for discussion and if someone has a copy to share. “Even if they don’t attend very often, they like to stay informed,” Teasley said. Anyone interested in taking part is welcome — get a copy of the book scheduled for discussion, read it and come to the meeting. And reading the book isn’t even required. RIM COUNTRY CELTS

Another group I’d like to spend some time with is the Rim Country Celts, and they make it easy — every first and third Wednesday the members have a free program at Dimi Espresso. As with the book discussion group, I recently had the opportunity to visit with members of Rim Country Celts. Members want to educate potential members and other area residents about heritage and culture. But they also want to keep that education fun. A prime example of that mission was the Burns Night event the group hosted Wednesday, Jan. 15 at Dimi Espresso. There was a program, including a slide show, on the life and work of Robert Burns, one of Scotland’s literary giants, but also entertainment from songs he wrote and his poetry. “He wrote a lot of songs and a lot of funny songs and that’s what we did,” said Anne James, half of the Cinnamon Twist duo (the other half is Jennifer Baltz) and a member of both the Rim Country Celts and Daughters of Scotia. She said between 30 and 35 people attended the program. Another bit of education: not all Celts originated in Great Britain. Most Celtic heritage is tied to Scotland, Ireland and Wales. However, there are actually eight Celtic Nations, according to James and John Munro. In addition to Scotland, Ireland and Wales, Celts also come from Cornwall and the Isle of Man in the British Isles, Brittany in France, the far northeast of Spain (Galicia and Asturias) and from throughout Germany. In fact, some of the oldest Celtic archaeological sites are in Germany, dating back 200 or 400 B.C., according to Munro. He added the Celts were driven out of Europe to the British Isles and the isolated enclaves of Brittany and northeast Spain by the Roman Empire. Munro helped Nancy and Lloyd Gibson organize the original Rim Country Celts group back in 2011.

Nancy O’Rourke, who recommended the Rim Country Readers Book Discussion Group read “The Aviator’s Wife” shares some photos of the Lindberghs she found on the Internet.

“We knew each other from attending festivals and Celtic games around the country and started talking about organizing a Celtic Clan group here,” Munro said. They discovered there were not enough clans in the area, so decided to go the Celtic group route. The first effort to draw interest was a Tartan Day in April 2011 at the old East West Exchange. Tartan Day is an “unofficial” national holiday for all Scottish-Americans held April 6. However in 1998, National Tartan Day was officially recognized on a permanent basis when the U.S. Senate passed Senate Resolution 155 recognizing April 6 as National Tartan Day. This was followed by a companion bill, House Resolution 41, which was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives on March 9, 2005. While that first event did not have the response hoped for, enough interest was generated to present a wildly successful Ceilidh (a traditional Gaelic social gathering, which usually involves playing Gaelic folk music and dancing) in October 2011. James said about 300 people turned out at the Lone Pine Hotel on Historic Main Street for the event. “We’re trying to get away from real big programs (like the October 2011 Ceilidh) and do smaller, more educational programs (to help people learn about Celtic heritage and culture),” James said. In addition to the recent Burns Night, the group has presented programs on Celtic Christmas traditions through a Hogmanay celebration in December and an educational event about the Irish that fought in the U.S. Civil War. The Rim Country Celts present these free programs regularly the first and third Wednesday of each month at Dimi Espresso, 612 N. Beeline Hwy., Payson (in the Swiss Village next to Circle K North). The group is also launching a new Web site, rimcountrycelts.com, which will have details about the organization, meeting and program updates, plus articles on Celtic history. The programs planned for the next few months include: Ceilidh dancing by Valerie Casteneda on Feb. 5; ghost stories by Alice Natale, Feb. 19; the history of St. Patrick’s Day and its celebrations, March 5; Irish traditional stories, March 19; tartans and clans, April 2; a Kirking (blessing) of the Tartans at the Community Presbyterian Church, 800 W. Main St., Payson, Sunday, April 6; and an all-day Ceilidh and Gathering of the Clans with bands, dancing and a party Saturday, April 26 at a location to be announced. Beginning in March the Rim Country Celts also have representatives attending the Celtic festivals and games throughout the Southwest, James said. Membership in the group is only $10 per person per year, but it is not required to attend any of the events. To learn more, contact James at (928) 951-4420 or at ajames412@hotmail.com; Munro at (928) 468-6220; or Neil Morrison at (928) 478-6228.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Seeing the silly side of some really ridiculous situations helps give the Lamb a new perspective on how to handle them. Some important contacts can be made this weekend. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Try to complete your outstanding tasks by midweek. This leaves you free to take advantage of new possibilities — both professional and personal — opening up by week’s end. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) With both your creative side and your energy levels rising this week, you should be able to tackle that too-long-neglected project again. A family member might have important news. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) An explanation you requested seems to be more confusing than enlightening. You should insist on clarifications now, rather than deal with problems that might arise later. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Your energy levels might be ebbing a bit. But that’s no excuse for taking catnaps when you could be working on those unfinished tasks. There’ll be time to curl up and relax by week’s end. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) It’s a good time to get those ideas out of your head and into a readable format if you hope to have them turned into something doable. A good friend is ready with worthwhile advice. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Careful — you might be stepping into dangerous territory if you decide to “exaggerate” the facts too much. Remember: The truth speaks for itself and needs no embellishment. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Although your workplace successes have earned you many admirers, there are some colleagues who are not among them. Be careful how you proceed with your new project. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You might have to go into great detail to explain why you’re currently reluctant to make changes to an already prepared plan. Be sure you have all the facts to back yourself up. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Travel plans might still be uncertain. But instead of getting upset about the delay, open yourself up to other possibilities, and begin checking out some alternative destinations. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Changing conditions might require you to alter some of your plans. While you might be agreeable to this, be prepared with explanations for those who do not want changes made. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Although you might have to deal with some detractors who aren’t too kind in their critiques, you gain points when you’re willing to stand up and defend your work. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gift for creating a warm and loving environment between yourself and others. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

PAYSON ROUNDUP

RIM REVIEW • JANUARY 22, 2014

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am 71 years old and have been diagnosed with chronic heart failure. In October of last year, I had triple bypass surgery, but now I’m in good health. Some things I have read about chronic heart failure are unnerving. Will you give me your take on what lies ahead for me? — S.T. ANSWER: Heart failure, chronic heart failure and congestive heart failure are the same condition. It’s one of the most common reasons why older people are hospitalized. The basic problem is that the heart has become so weak that it circulates blood poorly. Such poor circulation permits fluid to ooze out of blood vessels and “congest” tissues in the feet, ankles and lower legs. The lungs fill with fluid, which brings on heart failure’s cardinal feature — gasping for breath on even slight exertion. Other signs of heart failure are breathlessness when lying in bed, heart enlargement, seen on X-rays, and the doctor’s discovery of lung sounds that indicate the lungs have fluid in them. Numerous conditions lead to heart failure. At the top of the list is coronary artery disease, the blockage of heart arteries that often brings on a heart attack. This must be why your heart failed. You did have surgery to correct blocked heart arteries, but they did their damage well before surgery took place. Heart valve problems, high blood pressure and atrial fibrillation are other causes of heart failure. Medicines usually can get the heart beating with greater vigor and can lessen or abolish most symptoms. Anything that affects heart function must be treated. High blood pressure, for example, has to be lowered. You might think that inactivity is best for your heart — it isn’t. Your doctor will outline a program that keeps you active to the level that your heart can tolerate. Walking is one example, but more strenuous exercise is encouraged when your heart becomes stronger. You should be on a low-salt diet. You ought not be discouraged about your outlook. The life span of people with congestive heart failure has increased by 15 percent in men and by 5 percent in women in just the past decade. The increment in women’s life span is smaller because women live longer, on average, than men. Readers can order the booklet on congestive heart failure by writing: Dr. Donohue — No. 103W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. 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: My EKG report, sent to me, says “left axis deviation.” Is that a big deal? — M.Y. ANSWER: It means that that electric signal originating in the upper heart chamber and responsible for each heartbeat takes a different route to reach the lower heart chambers, the pumping chambers. In the absence of symptoms, it’s not a dangerous thing. You don’t have to dwell on it. I take it you have a doctor who ordered the EKG. That doctor will follow up to see if you have any hidden heart trouble. The condition is not an emergency situation. 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.
