AROUND RIM COUNTRY

Great Backyard Bird Count  Give Mother Nature a Valentine this year and show how much you care about birds by counting them for the Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC). The 18th annual count is taking place February 13 through 16. Anyone in the world can count birds at any location for at least 15 minutes on one or more days of the count and enter their sightings at www.BirdCount. org. The information gathered by tens of thousands of volunteers helps track changes in bird populations on a massive scale. “This may be a big year for finches,” notes Audubon Chief Scientist Gary Langham. “GBBC participants in North America should be on the lookout for larger numbers of Pine Siskins and redpolls. These birds also push farther south when pine cone seed crops fail in the far north of Canada.” Bird watchers from 135 countries participated in the 2014 count, documenting nearly 4,300 species on more than 144,000 bird checklists – that’s about 43 percent of all the bird species in the world. “We especially want to encourage people to share their love of birds and bird watching with someone new this year,” says Dick Cannings at Bird Studies Canada. “Take your sweetheart, a child, a neighbor, or a coworker with you while you count birds for the GBBC. Share your passion and you may fledge a brand new bird watcher!” The Great Backyard Bird Count is a great way for people of all ages and backgrounds to connect with nature and show some love for the birds this Valentine’s Day. Participation is free and easy. To learn more about how to join the count, download instructions, a slide show, web buttons, and other materials, visit www.birdcount.org. While you’re there, get inspired by the winning photos from the 2014 GBBC photo contest. The Great Backyard Bird Count is made possible in part by sponsor Wild Birds Unlimited. Editor’s note: Remember, both the gift shop at the Rim Country Museum in Green Valley Park, Payson, and the visitor’s center of the Payson Ranger Station of the Tonto National Forest have great bird identification resources available for purchase.

entertainment. One special cruise line is Disney Cruises with four large ships catering to the young set with special attention to adults who don’t want to be around the kids all day. They have many attractions for the young people and also offer adults-only lounges and swimming pools. We took the grandkids on one of these cruises three years ago and all age groups came together at dinner. The more upscale lines include Azamara Club Cruises and their two 694-passenger ships; Oceania Cruises with five ships carrying from 700 to 1250 passengers; Paul Gauguin Cruises with two ships specializing in destination cruises in Tahiti; and the Mediterranean carrying from 90 to 325 guests. The very up-scale lines include Crystal, with two marvelous ships accommodating 1,000 guests; Cunard with three ships cruising all over the world; Regent Seven Seas Cruises with three smaller ships; Silversea Cruises and their eight ships; Seabourn Cruise Line with five ships; and SeaDream Yacht Club with two small ships. There are other cruise lines that will take you to very exotic destinations such as Hurtigruten Cruises, which cruise through the Norwegian Fjords as well as the North and South Arctic seas. These are smaller ships that serve passengers interested in educational speakers and out-ofthe-way destinations. If you think you might like

to cruise the Mediterranean or Caribbean in a sailing ship contact Windstar Cruises and Star Clippers. These boats carry fewer than 400 passengers under real sail power. I have left off some smaller cruise lines that are available for focused cruise experiences such as scenery, sea life and animal life. As you scan the Internet you will find these also. Even if your next cruise will not be your first, I urge you to contact an experienced travel agent who can make suggestions according to your lifestyle as to where and what ship to cruise in. Occasionally people will speak to me about unhappy experiences on their cruise because they have booked the wrong ship and line

for them. They let cheap fares dictate their selection. Perhaps your best bet is to book a cabin with balcony on one of the premium lines. The ship will be fun, but not a floating party. The interiors in most ships today offer a high-end look that pleases the majority of passengers. They are usually well laid out and easy to find your way around. Daily, you will find in your mailbox, a plan-of-the-day outlining the numerous activities provided for your interest and pleasure. We should also discuss the restaurants aboard larger ships today. Almost all provide two or three included restaurants with very fine menus for your selection. There will also be two or three up-scale dining rooms that charge a bit extra for each meal taken. These might be Asian, Steakhouses or Italian focused. Be aware that some of the mass-market lines offer more extra-pay dining rooms than those that offer your included meals. NCL is one of those as well as Royal Caribbean. Carnival can be included here also. Every large ship today offers on the top deck a cafeteria-stile dining experience with no extra charges except perhaps for beer and wine. These have become very popular with most passengers as you can choose the food in front of you as you pass down the food line. I don’t like it myself because I don’t like to stand in line for food. I appreciate the service in the dining rooms. We have not discussed river cruising here. We will later. This is a completely different experience that pleasures many passengers also. There are more than 30 new cruise ships on order today as the market continues to expand and more and more passengers choose to cruise. Will it be you and yours? Try it; you’ll come back for more and more.

In one of my favorite scenes the warrior has returned home, but stops to have a beer before meeting his wife and family. Cooper simply drinks his beer and then speaks on the phone to his wife. Cooper puts enough emotion and anguish into that beer to break your heart. It is wonderful acting. We should think of “American Sniper” not as a war movie but about a guy in a war, a vast difference. Sienna Miller (“Alfie” and “Casanova”) plays Kyle’s wife. The extravagantly beautiful Miller tones down her beauty to merely very pretty in order to play the ordinary woman charmed by the vital young warrior. We have to go back to “Gran Torino” to find a film as emotionally impactful as “American Sniper” among the many outstanding films directed by the elderly Clint Eastwood. Eastwood as a director has made a career for himself after reaching retirement age that most directors can only dream about. He directed the actor Bradley Cooper - who is nominated for best actor.

RIM HISTORY RIM HISTORY RIM COUNTRY HISTORY | TIM EHRHARDT

CONTROL ROAD’S HISTORY The Control Road runs from Highway 260 in the east and stretches westward to Highway 87. It covers 26 miles that consists mostly of tall pines. Area residents and both local and visiting recreationists utilize it every day. Here is a look at some history of the Control Road. During the early part of the 20th century trails underneath the Rim gradually started to become roads. A 1915 Tonto National TIM EHRHARDT Forest map shows some stretches of what would become the Control Road. On the east side is a strip of road that would eventually become Highway 260 to what is now Tonto Village. But the road turns into a trail at that point as it heads west. As one might expect, the roads of this era focused on connecting families. Tonto Village was home to the Henry F. Haught family and a couple miles to the north were Elam Boles and his family. So the main road turns north instead of continuing straight

west. Further west a road connects the Pyle places of what are now Ellison Creek Estates and Bonita Creek, but the road turns into a trail further west and slides north to connect the Belluzzi place, which is now known as Rim Trail. On the west end a good stretch of road connected Pine and today’s Geronimo Estates, where Craig and Vogel lived. But there was no connecting piece to the east. In 1915 the author Zane Grey hadn’t been to the area. There was no Boy Scout camp and no fish hatchery. Kohl’s Ranch? It was just the Davis place, though the Indian Gardens Ranger Station just to the west was prominent. Horses were still the dominant form of transportation. Things changed though over the next decade and a half. Zane Grey brought attention to the region, Camp Geronimo was established on Tonto Creek and the usage of the automobile shortened the travel time between places. While in 1915 there wasn’t really a need for a uniform road connecting western and eastern parts of the region by the 1930s there was. There were camping and recre-

ation areas that needed to be created and accessed. No longer was the forest going to be used just by local residents, but by visitors to the area, many looking to escape the Phoenix summer heat. A Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp was established at Indian Gardens in 1933. Over the next few years the CCC made a lasting impact. It improved many roads and the Control Road was a large part of their work. Opening up recreation areas played a role in the motive for these improvements, but so did access for fire suppression. The path of the Control Road had been laid by the time the CCC arrived, but without their effort it may well have deteriorated back to a trail and then just another place in the forest. By the time World War II arrived the path was laid for future growth surrounding the Control Road. America boomed following the end of World War II. Weekend recreation and a temporary escape from city life became important to many. That was especially true in Phoenix where temperatures regularly rise over 100 degrees in the summer.

In response to this, the road was improved from Phoenix to Payson, becoming completely paved by 1958. The need for more recreation areas and better access to them rose. Patented lands that were once home to just family or two were developed into subdivisions, but still there was not enough to meet demand. In response, the Forest Service created summer home areas and the Control Road became a key connector of some of them. Thompson Draw II Summer Homes, Diamond Point Summer Homes and Ellison Creek Summer Homes all sit along the east end of the Control Road. Camp Geronimo outgrew its location near Kohl’s Ranch and moved to its current location at the Spade Ranch in 1956. This location is accessed via the western part of the Control Road. After decades of work, the Control Road had become a key route in the region. Since the 1950s the Control Road has continued to be improved. In the past few years, eight bridges were replaced. It is the only road that connects Highway 87 and Highway 260 under the Mogollon Rim and is traveled by many every day, particularly in the summer months.

COVER STORY | TERESA MCQUERREY

Welcome Pony Express Rim residents are invited to welcome the Hashknife Pony Express Residents throughout Rim Country will be gathering along Highways 87 and 260 to welcome the Hashknife Pony Express riders Wednesday, Jan. 28. Up in Christopher Creek the Hashknife gang will assemble at Creekside for the annual meet and greet before the mail-carrying riders make their hand-off on the Loop right in front of the restaurant. There will feature sloppy joes and chili, plus desserts for the crowd to enjoy. The Town of Star Valley is inviting its residents and those from the surrounding area to help welcome the Hashknife Pony Express riders to the area with a barbecue starting at noon, Wednesday, Jan. 28.

With the generosity of Safeway the town staff will be preparing hamburgers and hot dogs, served with a drink, chips and a cookie at the B. Diane McDaniel Community Park. This event is open to the public. The riders are expected to arrive in Star Valley around 3:45 p.m. and then head to Payson where they are scheduled to be at the post office at 4:45 p.m. There will be a parade run down Beeline to the Payson Post Office where the riders will take the time to meet and talk with residents. Each child present will get a commemorative handkerchief and prizes for the annual coloring contest in which youngsters participate for the event. There will also be memorabilia to purchase. A dinner for the riders and Rim fans is planned at the Payson Elks Lodge that night – ticket sales closed Monday. This is the 57th year the Navajo County Sheriff’s Posse Hashknife Pony Express riders have made their way from Holbrook to Scottsdale. They were formally sworn in as mail carriers on

Jan. 27 at Holbrook’s Historic Courthouse and then started the ride the morning of Jan. 28, handing off the mail from one rider on horseback to another on the trip. One of more riders made stops to collect special commemorative Pony Express mail in Heber, Overgaard, Christopher Creek, Star Valley and Pine in addition to the gathering in Payson. The riders spend the night in Payson and then leave at 9 a.m., Thursday, Jan. 29 from the post office and make their way to the Verde River for another overnight on the Fort McDowell Indian Community. Then on January 30, the riders leave their riverside camp for Scottsdale, where they are scheduled to arrive at the Scottsdale Waterfront at noon to help kickoff not only the annual Parada del Sol, but also events associated with the Arizona hosted Super Bowl XLIX. The Navajo County Sheriff’s Posse is a volunteer organization that was founded in 1955 as a search and rescue group. To raise money for needed equipment it had a Hashknife Stampede

Rodeo. In 1958 members of the posse decided to deliver a letter to Governor Paul Fannin to invite him to the rodeo and delivered the letter via “Pony Express” style and the annual ride was born. It is the longest, continuous,

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your natural Arian leadership qualities make you the person others will follow in tackling that important project. But don’t get so involved in the work that you neglect your personal life. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Aspects favor sorting through your possessions, both at work and at home, to start giving away what you don’t use, don’t need or don’t like. Relax later with someone special. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) The issues are not quite as clear as they should be. That’s why you need to avoid getting involved in disputes between colleagues at work or between relatives or personal friends. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You’ll get lots of support from others if you own up to your mistake quickly and include a full and honest explanation. Learn from this experience so that you don’t repeat it. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) There might be some early confusion over a major move, whether it’s at work or at home. But once you get a full breakdown of what it entails, it should be easier to deal with. Good luck. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Creating order out of chaos, even in the most untidy spaces, should be no problem for organized Virgos. So go ahead and do it, and then accept praise from impressed colleagues. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Whether it’s for business purposes or just for leisure, a trip might be just what you need right now. You would benefit both from a change of scenery and from meeting new people. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) While things generally go well this week, a romantic situation seems to have stalled. But you can restart it if you want to. Then again, maybe this is a chance to reassess the situation. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) A meeting that was promised quite a while back could finally happen. So be sure you’re prepared with everything you’ll need to make your case sound convincing and doable. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) A workplace blunder could create a problem down the line unless you deal with it right now to see how and why it happened. Don’t be surprised at what you might learn. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a good time to re-sort your priorities and see if adjustments are called for. Be honest with yourself as you decide what to keep, what to discard and what to change. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Letting yourself be bathed in the outpouring of love and support from those who care for you will help you get through a difficult period sooner rather than later. Good luck. BORN THIS WEEK: You have an uncanny gift for reaching out to all people and creating bridges of understanding among them. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

Buffalo Chicken Dip

Bring on the heat for the Big Game While the Arizona Cardinals may not be on the field for the big game – the field is still Arizona’s, so combine that with some great food and give your friends and family an extra reason to get rowdy and cheer. Take your game day menu to the next level with buffalo flavor-inspired appetizers. The buffalo flavor has been a game day staple since 1964 when the first-ever buffalo wings were developed by Teressa Bellissimo at her Buffalo, N.Y., establishment, Anchor Bar.
