Meditation book group starts new study
Good go
2
At its Jan. 28 meeting, the ongoing Meditation Book Group will begin coverage of “Falling into Grace — the End of Suffering.” The segment of meetings for this particular book will take place Jan. 28 through June 3, with nine meetings. The group meets two Mondays each month, from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Payson Public Library. Some members of the current group have been gathering since 2010. The meetings usually consist of a 15-minute meditation period, and conversation about an assigned chapter. Class size averages 10 to 12 people. The author of “Falling into Grace” (available on Amazon for $12) states he has found that the simpler the teaching, the greater its power to change our lives. The book explores: • The choice to stop believing thoughts that perpetuate suffering. • Stepping into the pure potential of the present moment. • Experiences one may encounter along their process. • Feeling connected with every part of our experience. • True autonomy — the unique expression of our own sense of freedom. Kimberly Chambers, the group’s facilitator offers, “This is a clear and powerful book that can help us see our ‘normal’ ways of creating our own suffering. We just don’t realize we’re doing this until an insightful teacher/author points it out, and we seriously contemplate the truth of the teaching.”

TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS
FAVORITE VACATIONS FOR AMERICANS We like to travel! Oh boy, do we! Our vacation budget often determines how far we can travel, how we travel and where we can afford. Most people have vacation wish lists and sometimes they can even be fulfilled. We were having lunch with a neighbor the other day and she said she would like to travel to Paris. She noted that this is one of the more expensive cities in the world, but hopes her wish comes true one day. I hope she can. Paris is one of the most beautiful and interesting cities in the world. Recently, I was combing through several “Best Vacation” lists and few agree with one another. So, I’ll pick what I think to be the best vacation spots for 2013. If the kids travel with you, that is one thing, if not, it’s another. Let’s first choose those destinations that will make for wonderful vacations with or without the kids. Yellowstone is tops on my list for several reasons. It’s in a beautiful part of our country, has steaming geysers, bubbling hot springs, colorful pools, offers hiking trails and the opportunity to view animals up close. Park rangers present lectures at several locations. And Yellowstone is not that far from the rugged beauty of the Grand Tetons. You may even wish to visit Glacier National Park with its stunning beauty. Every American should see Washington, D.C. at least once. You have famous landmarks such as the Lincoln Memorial, the Metro Services photo Washington Monument, Ford’s Theater San Francisco is also a favorite for U.S. travelers.

Stellar cast — disappointing movie BY ANDY MCKINNEY REVIEWER
What a stellar cast we have in “Gangster Squad.” Sean Penn plays 1940s gangster Mickey Cohen — a murderous real life thug and ladies man whose girlfriends included Tempest Storm, Candy Bar and Beverly Hills. In the movie his lady friend is Emma Stone who is drop dead beautiful in slinky evening gowns. Ryan Gosling is effective in an under stated role as one of the squad members. Josh Brolin, Michael Pena, Giovanni Ribisi and Robert Patrick are other name actors and squad members. What a shame to have so much talent squandered on a film so lacking in dramatic interest. It isn’t a terrible movie, but with such a fine cast, we really expect a film to match the actors. Other films set in post war L.A. have done much better, see “L.A. Confidential” or “Chinatown” for comparison. Penn as Cohen — a notorious gangster who made headlines and had a fan base in real life — opens the film by pulling another gangster apart using cables and two cars. This set the tone for the film. Irrational violence is done with expert professionalism by director Ruben Fleischer. The culminating battle has the cops of the Gangster Squad absurdly facing off against Cohen’s thugs with Tommy guns at a range of 40 feet.
The romance between the gangster’s moll (Stone) and the young copper (Gosling) doesn’t make much sense either. I am an Emma Stone fan and the more screen time she gets the better I like it, but I can still recognize that the moll/cop romance is stupid. Sometimes we suspend our disbelief, often in fact. But we want a reward greater than stilted writing and irrational violence. Director Ruben Fleischer also directed the very entertaining “Zombieland,” also with Emma Stone, so we know he can make excellent films. The producers must be faulted for entrusting the script to first time writer Will Beall. With a budget of $60 million they could have afforded enough talent to make us love, like or at least be interested in the characters. The best developed and most likable character is the very minor character of the wife of squad leader Josh Brolin. She has some good lines in the very few minutes she has on screen. Sadly, she is the only one who does. The disappointing “Gangster Squad” rates a sub-par two saw blades. Fans of mediocre cops and gangster films will still enjoy it, as will Emma Stone fans. “Gangster Squad” is rated R for lots of violence, some of it pretty gross. It has pulled in a thin $31 million so far and might struggle to get the producers’ money back. That should teach them a lesson. Make better movies.

RIM HISTORY RIM HISTORY RIM COUNTRY HISTORY | TIM EHRHARDT
HARVEY GRANVILLE BUSH AND THE BUSH HIGHWAY The 1920s were a roaring time in America. Times were good and the automobile was growing in popularity. The Payson area was still hard to access though, and throughout the country there was generally some catching up to do with regards to roads. Enter Harvey Granville Bush, a Mesa lumberman with a cabin under the Rim near Tonto Fish Hatchery. Bush would help get the highway built that would bear his name. One of the driving forces for an improved road between Phoenix and Payson has always been Phoenix area businessmen, and it was no TIM EHRHARDT different in the late 1920s and early 1930s. A number of businessmen wanted a better road to this area and Harvey Granville Bush was the leader of this effort. Bush operated Foxworth-Bush Lumber Company, a company that he had organized around 1920 as a branch of Foxworth-Galbraith Lumber Company. He was born in Gainesville, Texas on Nov. 3, 1888. Prior to coming to Mesa he had lived in El Paso, where he was in the lumber business with his brother-in-law. Bush used his contacts, including Judge H.C. Gilbert, who was chairman of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, to push for the highway and by the fall of 1932 plans for construction had been made. The Bush Highway route was planned with cooperation from Payson residents, the Mesa District Chamber of Commerce, the Mesa Good Roads Boosters, and the United States Forest Service. While it was initially thought that construction would be completed by the start

Equipment used in 1937 to build a road through wash during the construction of the Slate Creek portion of Bush Highway was not much different than that being used today. The photo was taken by Charles Cunningham, April 29, 1937.

of 1933, a delay in funding stalled the start of construction until the middle of March of 1933. Harvey Bush turned the first shovel on March 21, 1933 in a ceremony at Stewart Mountain. It was at that time that Judge Gilbert spoke and named the highway for Bush. A May 26, 1933 Arizona Republic article shed further light into the ongoing construction. It stated that, “up until the past two weeks, all labor was done by hand. At that time, however, an 80-horsepower tractor and grader-blade was put on the job and progress has been much faster.” The equipment for construction during that era was vastly different than it is today. This article also shows why folks in Maricopa County were so eager for its construction. “One of its outstanding advantages from the standpoint of the Salt river valley, it was pointed out yesterday, is the fact that it is expected to bring to this section new trade that has never before reached here from the cattle and sheep-raising sections which it
traverses, and from the Pine-Payson area. There also is a strong possibility that mining in that section of Maricopa county, in which there are many claims, particularly quicksilver and gold, will be greatly stimulated through construction of the Bush highway. This industry has been held back because of lack of transportation facilities.” Construction was long and arduous and the highway was not opened to traffic until May 1934. More than $280,000 was spent on its construction with money coming from a variety of entities including the CCC, Maricopa County, Salt River Valley Water Users and various mining companies. It had shortened the route to Payson, yet it still remained very arduous. The next substantial improvement to the roadway would not occur until the Beeline Highway was constructed in the 1950s. Harvey Bush saw the highway completed, but wouldn’t enjoy it for very long. He died on Jan. 27, 1935. The Mesa Times Journal said of him, “he was a political power in municipal, county and state affairs. His judgment was
respected by hundreds whom he had befriended and it was usually better to have Harvey Bush ‘for you than against you.’” Another article at the time remarked on Bush and his cabin. “The Bush cabin in the Mogollons near Payson was his vacation playground. Hardly a week-end arrived during the hot summer months that he was not bound for his cabin with a party of Mesa friends.” The Bush family and their friends would continue to use their place on Tonto Creek for a long time after. Bush’s widow, Bee, went on to be a vice president at Valley National Bank during the 1950s and the cabin, while gone, can still be found on topographical maps. If you’d like more information about the Bush Highway I would suggest looking at: From the Desert to the Mountains; Archaeology of the Transition Zone; The State Route 87 — Sycamore Creek Project; Volume 4: Archaeology of the Historic Bush Highway and Reno Road. This is available in the reference section of the Payson library and has a great deal of technical information.

HASHKNIFE TIME
The Hashknife Pony Express Riders will be at the Payson Post Office at approximately 4:45 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 30 to meet and greet the community, sign autographs and more.
Relish rowdiness; honor the tradition of Pony Express
It’s Hashknife time. The 55th Annual Hashknife Pony Express comes to Payson Wednesday, Jan. 30. You can bet Rim Country youngsters are already looking forward to some rowdy times. The children learned about the annual event Jan. 9 when riders visited area schools. Pony Express drawings from Rim Country school children are in the post offices in both Payson and Pine this week. This year, organizers of the program had judges (the postal workers) award the best efforts in each class with blue, red and white ribbons. The honors will be displayed along with the prize-winning pictures. Riders are expected at the Payson Post Office around 4:45 p.m., Jan. 30. A dinner for the Hashknife Riders is planned that evening at Tiny’s Family Restaurant, 600 E. Highway 260 Payson. A social hour is set from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., with the roast beef buffet dinner following at 7 p.m. There will be a dance at the Oxbow afterward. The cost is $20 per person. For tickets call Bonnie at (928) 951-6536. She recommends making reservations by Friday, Jan. 25.
The riders will leave from the Payson Post Office at 10 a.m., Thursday, Jan. 31 and head to Scottsdale where they ceremonially lead the annual Parada del Sol. On the average, three-dozen members of the posse go on the ride. Their route takes them through Holbrook, Heber, Payson, and side trip to Pine, Sunflower, Rye and Scottsdale. The Hashknife group originally referred to the crew of cowboys that worked a large Arizona ranch. The name was adopted by the Navajo County Sheriff’s Posse, based in Holbrook. The ride in honor of the Pony Express was started in 1959 and has since attracted many participants from outside the posse.
ABOUT THE PONY EXPRESS (FROM WIKIPEDIA)
The first Pony Express ride started from the Pikes Peak Stables in St. Joseph, Mo. April 3, 1860. The rider ran the first leg of a 2,000-mile journey to Sacramento, Calif. In St. Joseph, the stables are still standing and serve as a museum honoring this fleeting part of the Old West. The Pony Express only operated for 18 months, from April 1860 to October 1861, when the telegraph replaced it. Largely California’s newfound prominence and its rapidly growing population prompted the idea of a fast mail route to the Pacific coast. After gold had been discovered there in 1848, thousands of prospectors, investors and businessmen made their way to the California Republic. By 1850 California entered the Union as a free state. By 1860 the population had grown
to 380,000. The demand for a faster way to get mail and other communications to and from this western most state became even greater as the American Civil War approached. William Russell, Alexander Majors and William Waddell were the founders of the Pony Express. By having a short route and using mounted riders rather than traditional stagecoaches, their proposal was to establish a fast mail service between St. Joseph, Mo. and Sacramento, Calif., with letters delivered in 10 days — something many said was impossible. Russell, Majors and Waddell organized and put together the Pony Express in two months in the winter of 1860. The undertaking involved 120 riders, 184 stations, 400 horses and several hundred personnel during January and February 1860. The Pony Express stations were about 10 miles apart; this was roughly the distance a horse could travel at a gallop before tiring. At each station stop the express rider would change to a fresh horse, taking only the mail pouch with him. The employers stressed the importance of the pouch. They often said that, if it came to be, the horse and rider should perish before the pouch did. Riders, who could not weigh over 125 pounds, changed about every 75 to 100 miles and rode day and night. In emergencies, a given rider might ride two stages back to back, over 20 hours on a quickly moving horse. The riders received $25 per week as pay. A comparable wage for unskilled labor at the time was about $1 per week.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might feel bolder as each new success falls into place. But caution is still advised through the end of the week. Until then, a step-by-step approach is best. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) That cooperation you request could come at too high a price. Since few can beat the Bovine at being clever and resourceful, why not see what you can do on your own? GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Aspects favor a quieter time spent getting closer to the people who are especially important to you. There’s always much more to learn and appreciate about each other. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The concerned Crab will act to resolve workplace misunderstandings before they get out of hand and cause more-serious problems. Co-workers rally to support your efforts. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) What the Big Cat might see as a disturbing act of disloyalty might just be a failure of communication on both sides. Take time for mediation rather than confrontation. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Be more patient with those who seem unwilling to accept your version of what’s right. The fact is, there’s a lot more to learn on all sides of this issue. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) It should be easier to assess the facts you’ll need to make an important decision. But don’t commit if you still have doubts. There could be more you need to know. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Your excitement level remains high as you continue working on that new project. Expect some setbacks. But on the whole, all will move pretty much on schedule. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) It might be wise to be more prudent with expenses right now. But your financial situation should soon clear up, and you could be back shopping, happily as ever. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You might prefer sticking with your current schedule. But some newly emerging information could persuade you to consider a change. Keep an open mind. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You might want to reject a suggested change. But it could be wise to go with the flow, at least for a while. You can always return to your first plan if you like. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You’re bolstered by both the practical and poetic sides of your nature as you maneuver through some unsettled emotional situations. Things ease up by week’s end. BORN THIS WEEK: People reach out to your generosity and wisdom, and consider you a trusted and treasured friend. © 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

Heart-smart recipes to love Eating for heart health is actually easier — and more delicious — than you might think. When you have a good plan and plenty of mouthwatering recipes, you’ll enjoy taking care of your heart. According to the FDA, diets rich in whole grain foods and other plant foods, and low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may help reduce the risk of heart disease. Here are some tips to help you make these kinds of heartsmart choices: • Choose leaner cuts of meat. You can find plenty of delicious options such as skinless chicken, lean pork and beef. And you can make smart substitutions, too — use ground turkey instead of ground beef to make meatloaf or burgers even leaner. • Add fruits and veggies to every meal. Strawberries in yogurt, blueberries on a salad, carrots and hummus as a snack, roasted sweet potatoes with dinner — it’s easier than you think to add nutrient-dense produce to your diet. Eat plenty of different colored produce for variety and a wider range of health benefits. • Enjoy more whole grains. Whole grains add carbohydrates for energy, fiber to fill you up, and nutrients important for good health. And, according to a recent national survey, four out of five doctors recommend Post Shredded Wheat as part of a healthy, low-sodium diet, to maintain a healthy heart, reduce the risk of heart disease, and support healthy blood pressure levels. These recipes are a great start to adding more whole grains — and they’re so good, you might forget they are heart smart. Get more tips and heart-smart recipes at www.PostShreddedWheat.com.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH
Soaking night sweats are daily torment BY PAUL G. DONOHUE, M.D. 2013 NORTH AMERICA SYND., INC.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: This year I retired, at age 66. Since retirement I’ve been tormented with drenching sweats nightly. I mention the retirement because it’s the only thing in my life that has changed. Could there be a connection? I have to change my pajamas every night, and sometimes the bed linens. I feel well otherwise. I will appreciate anything you can tell me. — D.D. ANSWER: You and your doctor have to look for the rare but serious causes of night sweats. In the past, infections were the major cause, and tuberculosis headed the list of infectious causes. That’s no longer true. Diabetes, an overactive thyroid gland and cancers — especially lymphomas (lymph node cancers) — are other possible causes. It’s most unusual for night sweats to be the only sign of such illnesses. I can’t link your retirement to the problem. Have you taken your temperature at night? A normal temperature points to causes that are less indicative of something that has health consequences. Medicines might provoke sweating. Antidepressants, some of the diabetes medicines and thyroid hormone are examples. Aspirin resets the body’s thermostat. When its effect begins to wear off, profuse sweating can result. The following tips for controlling sweating are banalities, but they’re always mentioned. The heat and humidity of the bedroom have to be on the low side. Humidity of less than 40 percent is optimum. If sweating is confined to a particular body area, like the palms and soles, the face or the underarms, you have more treatment options. For generalized sweating, the choices are not as plentiful. Fans and air conditioners are another banal solution, but they often work. Some have found that Robinul (glycopyrrolate) or ProBanthine, each taken 45 minutes before going to bed, stop the production of excessive sweats. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Can you give us some information on adult drooling? My husband, 87, is normal in all other ways, but cannot control his drooling. He won’t leave the house because of it. — E.K. ANSWER: With aging, we have less-effective swallowing mechanisms. In our younger years, saliva is constantly, automatically and imperceptibly swallowed throughout the day. At older ages, it stays in the mouth, and its only exit is through the lips. A second cause of drooling is the sagging of tissues around the mouth, another consequence of aging. The lips and mouth tissues cannot hold saliva in the mouth like they used to. Readers have made good suggestions on how to combat this problem. R.M. suggests applying a dab of Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream to the corners of the lips to create a dam that blocks saliva overflow. Vaseline works too. Robinul (glycopyrrolate) and scopolamine, the patch used for prevention of seasickness, slow the production of saliva. But they can have other unpleasant side effects that make them less useful for this purpose. Botox injections diminish saliva volume. Doctors can tie off some of the salivary ducts to achieve the same end. Start with the dam-building technique. It has no side effects and is inexpensive.
