which we remember them, and which, like all place names, perks our interest. Leaving a somewhat more permanent mark was the family of Frank Drew. They settled further down Sharp Creek, near its junction with Hunter Creek. About the only evidence left behind from their sojourn in the Rim Country is a monument placed by a later generation of the Drew family in 1978. As one crosses the little bridge over Sharp’s Creek on the old road into Christopher Creek, a careful look to the upstream side of the bridge reveals a granite stone with a brass plaque in memory of Frank Pierce Drew and his wife Dessie. A second monument can be found a quarter mile downstream at the site of the Drew homestead. A cabin stood there until recent times when the Forest Service cleared such structures off forest land. The homestead had never been patented, so remained in government ownership. A campground has been established in the area. Frank Pierce Drew was born in Sacramento, Calif. in 1855 where his family operated a lumber business. When he was 25, a friend, Joe Woods, who had pioneered in the Rim Country, wrote urging him to come to this wonderful spot in Arizona. He came in 1880 and landed a job as a ranch hand on the spread of Thomas Lacy Greer and his wife Catherine.
Tom Greer had been a wealthy Texas cattleman and community leader, caught up in the war over Texas’ bid for independence from Mexico. By 1877 he had brought his family to Arizona where they established a homestead at the confluence of Silver Creek and the Little Colorado River. The next year he was appointed by Governor Fremont treasurer of Yavapai County, and he also purchased a large ranch northwest of St. Johns, which would become a million-acre ranching empire. The Greer patriarch died in July of 1881, a year after Frank Drew arrived at the Greer Ranch. Frank soon became very close to the family, courting their daughter Deseret Dianna Greer, and they were married Oct. 4, 1883. They began a family with the birth of William Frank Drew, Feb. 20, 1886; then had a son Cecil Levi born Oct. 7, 1889. After a few years it was time for the Drew family to move out on their own, and in 1891 or 1892 they settled on the drainage that would later be named Sharp’s Creek. There, another son, N. Baldwin Drew was born in 1892, the same year Frank Drew first signed the Great Register to vote. This was their only child born at Sharp’s Creek, because for some reason they moved to Mesa, Ariz. in 1896, probably selling their squatter’s rights. In those early days the Drew
family had a number of good neighbors, such as Isadore and Mary Christopher just over the hill, Marion Derrick at Indian Gardens, and up and down Tonto Creek there were Haught families. However, the rugged life in the Rim Country was more than Dessie wanted to maintain. Furthermore, it is possible that Frank Drew discovered there was opportunity in Mesa for the lumber business, something many entrepreneurs were getting into in those days. The vast lumber resources in the Rim Country and on the Rim made this a likely prospect; especially since the Phoenix area was burgeoning and demanding building materials. In Mesa the Drews had at least two more children, Frank Pierce Drew Jr. and Lloyd Anton Drew. He would die in 1917 at the age of 21 from typhoid fever. On July 28, 1898 Frank’s wife Dessie died. The following year he married Mary C. Benton, who also must have died because Frank married a third time on May 4, 1904. This time he married Mary Thompson. Frank lived to the age of 75 and died in Mesa in 1930. He was buried at his birthplace in Sacramento, Calif. The Rim Country saw the fleeting presence of families like the Sharps and the Drews. They left their mark vaguely on the landscape and quietly passed on by. [1] Pages 10, 38, 42

The Renaissance Festival experience is meeting and interacting with a variety of colorful characters, shopping for unique arts and crafts, and taking in a selection of over 150 shows every event day.

ages including Medieval Margaritas, Da Vinci Coladas, Dukes of Daiquiri, wine, honey mead, beers and ales, along with soft drinks and lemonade. A popular attraction at the festival are the live jousting tournaments held three times daily in the 5,000seat arena, complete with knights on charging horses, clanging weapons and a great deal of braggadocio. The 16th century festival is home to many popular traditions including chomping down on a giant roasted turkey leg, adding to your collection of drinking vessels or hair adornments as well as battling wits with the village idiot. Create your own tradition at this annual event. The fair features demonstrations of time-honored crafts such as weaving, jewelry making, glass blowing, blacksmithing and pottery throwing. Shopping is fun and if you are looking for a unique gift; you shall surely find it at this bustling marketplace. A most special event within this giant event is The Pleasure Feast. This is a one-and-a-half-hour, fivecourse medieval feast with live music and comedy entertainment, all you can eat and drink, plus festival souvenirs. With limited seating twice daily, advance feast reservations are recommended.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) All that flattery and fawning shouldn’t affect any decision you have to make. Keep your focus on the facts and ignore all the hyperbole, especially if it gets uncomfortably personal. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your Bovine instincts are on the mark about that “favor” you’re being asked to do. Agree to nothing unless you get a full explanation -- which you would check out first, of course. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A somewhat unsettled recent period should give way to a smoother time going through the week. Use this quieter time to catch up on matters you might have had to let slide. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Feeling a little confused is understandable with all those mixed messages. Take time to list the questions you have. Then present them and insist on answers that make sense. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Cupid can be very helpful for Lions seeking a love connection. The chubby cherub also brings warm and fuzzy feelings to paired Leos and Leonas who already share a special love line. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Travel is favored this week, whether you’ll be globe-trotting or taking a trip to a nearby getaway. You might be surprised (or maybe not) by who wants to be your traveling companion. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Getting advice on your next business-related move is a good idea, but only if your advisers are trustworthy. Get references that you can check out before you make any decisions. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Getting a boost in your self-esteem is one benefit that comes with a job well done. There are other plusses as well, including being noticed by all the right people. Good luck. (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) SAGITTARIUS Make time to deal with family matters, especially where they concern your elderly kinfolk. Being there for them from the start can help resolve problems sooner rather than later. (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) CAPRICORN Getting a project started can often be difficult. But the good news is that you won’t want for lack of assistance from colleagues who would like to work with you. So, let them! (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) AQUARIUS A lot of work-related issues might be raised this week, and you need to be prepared for whatever comes along. Things should be easier when it comes to matters in your private life. (Feb. 19 to March 20) PISCES What might appear to be a very much unwanted change in your life right now could turn out to be a very welcome event after all. Give yourself a chance to see where it might take you. BORN THIS WEEK: You exercise your strong leadership qualities well, which is why people believe in you and feel reassured by you. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

Try sweet potatoes in a quiche for a healthy winter meal.
Sweet potatoes a healthy option If you’re looking for a little variety to spice up your life, cooking with a versatile veggie such as the sweet potato may give your menu the satisfying kick you crave, along with a healthy dose of the nutrients your body needs. Unlike many vegetables with a peak season that comes and goes, sweet potatoes can be found at your local grocery store year round with a consistent quality and freshness. Because they are available fresh, canned or frozen, sweet potatoes offer the ultimate flexibility for healthy and delicious menu options at any meal. With virtually no fat and low in sodium, sweet potatoes, or yams, fit perfectly into a low-carb lifestyle, with major nutritional bonuses to boot. In addition to being a source of vitamin B-6, iron, potassium and fiber, the sweet potato provides twice the recommended daily allowance of vitamin A and more than one-third of the requirements for vitamin C. Sweet potatoes also rank significantly lower than white potatoes in the glycemic index, which explains why many carb-counting diets encourage substituting sweet potatoes for white potatoes.
