RIM HISTORY RIM HISTORY RIM COUNTRY HISTORY | TIM EHRHARDT
Moonshiners in Rim Country The Payson area was known for its moonshine back in the day. The moonshine was called “Payson Dew” and it had a good reputation that went far beyond the region. Here’s a look at this moonshine and the people behind it. While the federal government’s Prohibition began in 1920, Arizona enacted a ban in 1915, one of many states to do so. The Payson area was still very remote and the hills and forest provided many hiding places for equipment. Of course, the townsfolk didn’t care for the “prohis” (law enforcement), at least according to this TIM EHRHARDT story from the book “Rim Country History.” “A story in Star Valley has been told and retold, and is probably true, that when the Prohis reached that area the people would tie bells onto burros that seemed to congregate in the little valley. They would then scatter the burros in all directions. The ringing of the bells was ample notice to the bootleggers to get ready for the Prohis.” A lot of area folks made their own whiskey and “Rim Country History” has a lot of stories of them. But how many people really got busted for it? Let’s take a look at a couple newspaper clips regarding busts. The Sept. 2, 1922 Arizona Republican carried news of 41 arrests that had been made around the state. Three names from Payson were listed: W.W. Gibson and James Moreland for possession and A.J. Franklin as a “retail liquor dealer.” W.W. Gibson likely refers to Wash Gibson who had a place in Round Valley. Franklin ran the local pool hall, also sometimes called “the dive.” This is referenced in “Rim Country History” and a 1925 business directory also lists Franklin. Prohibition ended in 1933, but it did not stop people in the region from making moonshine. The Dec. 7, 1934 Winslow Mail carried news of a big bust: “Huge Still Raided Near Payson Nets Three Operators “Former Local Man Was Once Connected With It, Officers Say “What federal and state officers declared to be the largest and most modernly equipped still operating in Arizona was captured last Saturday night near Payson, and three of its alleged operators were placed under arrest. One of the men implicated a former well known bootlegger as one of the partners, but this man already is serving time in the penitentiary so no action will be taken against him, the officers said. “Swooping down on the still, which had a capacity of 1,000 gallons a month, the federal, state and county officers found it in operation with the three men in attendance. They gave their names as Henry McKee, Buck McFarland, and Denver Mathews. All three are known in Winslow. “The raiding officers said that they had known of the still for some time but had never been able to locate it.

In an Arizona Highways article titled “Whiskey Making in Arizona,” it’s reported there were 30 to 40 stills in the area. Making moonshine was a fairly common practice in America during Prohibition. The still pictured above is on display in Kentucky.
They said that much of the output was sold to Holbrook, Winslow and Flagstaff, and that the remainder found its way into Globe and the Salt River Valley.” Henry McKee was born in Georgia in 1883. He eventually came westward, becoming a moonshine maker. According to the “Haught Family History” by Linda Haught Ortega, “he got thrown in prison in Georgia. Then he came on to Arkansas and Missouri. Then he got word that Green Valley Sam Haught needed somebody to make whiskey for him. He came out and made whiskey for the Haughts.” McKee’s daughter Susie married Alfred Haught, and amongst their children is the aforementioned former Gila County Recorder, Linda Haught Ortega. Information on McFarland and Mathews has not been located at this
time. There were a number of others involved in bootlegging in the area. There was a still where the Chaparral Pines subdivision is now located. Moonshine was also made out in See Canyon by the Kiser family. The Kisers were originally from Kentucky and bought Ernest Sweat’s place near See Canyon. Stills were plentiful in the region. An Arizona Highways article titled “Whiskey Making in Arizona” quoted Vernon Haught as saying that there were 30 to 40 stills in the area. It’s important to understand that moonshine during Prohibition was a fairly common thing. There are still plenty of stories regarding Payson area moonshine left to be told.

LAST STAND
A real deal action flick “Last Stand” is a standard issue Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle, that is to say a rip snortin’, rootin’, tootin’ R rated action flick done with all the support of a major studio. It is not something like such recent actioners as “The ATeam” or “The Expendables,” which are more like super-violent comedies. “Last Stand” is a real deal action flick. Every single script turn might not make perfect sense, but it is a fictional film, not a documentary. It is fun and exciting with some cool stuff. Like a night time scene in which a police helicopter tracks the bad guy in a car that can go 200 mph. The bad guy must elude the helo, the chopper must track the bad guy. It is a clever, cool scene. The actors, besides Arnold in his first post governor, post marriage film, include the terrific Forest Whitaker. Whitaker can make even a supporting role important; here he is the FBI agent in charge. Whitaker is balanced by Johnny Knoxville and Louis Guzman. Knoxville plays a dull-witted gun fancier who ends up unexpectedly saving the day by providing Arnold with a WWI machine gun. Guzman is a deputy in the pattern of Barney Fife, earnest enough, but not exactly Green Beret material. Schwarzenegger himself can still pull it off. He plays an Arizona sheriff at the end of his career; a refugee from brutal LA in a quiet little desert
town. But he is not about to let some stinking drug lord just blow through his turf, especially after one of his guys goes down. Jamie Alexander is the obligatory pretty girl deputy. Instead of just being someone to rescue, she turns out to be an excellent sniper and does her part for the team when the paint really hits the fan. I give points to new to the majors director Jee-woon Kim for using her in a humane way. The deputy she portrays is game, but over her head. Kim lets her be a deputy instead of using her to titillate the viewers by having her disrobe at any possible excuse. In fact Kim does quite well in his first time in directing a major film. First time writer Andrew Knauer penned a perfectly acceptable script. In this average, three saw blade slammer we have strong if unremarkable acting, especially by Whitaker and Arnold himself. We have writing and direction that meet the requirements. And yet, the viewers are not flocking to the Cineplex. This is a $45 million production which seems to be having a difficult time at the box office. It has only brought in a scant $14 million so far at the global ticket booth. The public did not embrace Arnold’s last non-Terminator films, “Collateral Damage” and “6th Day” (I liked them both) and both failed to turn a profit. Can it be that he has lost his cinematic mojo?

TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS
TOURING NEVADA Nevada offers visitors a wide range of experiences: from exciting gaming at resort hotels and casinos to snow in the mountain areas. There are memorable dining opportunities, recreation and world-class entertainment. Visiting the many museums is fascinating and beholding the many desert scenes is unforgettable. There is much more to Nevada than Las Vegas with colorful towns to explore and legends to learn. Touring Nevada is one way to get in touch with Western history such as a drive along U.S. Highway 50, which parallels the old Pony Express mail route used in the early 1860s. However, when you are coming into the state from Arizona, you would first arrive at one of the finest engineering feats in the world, Hoover Dam. Since its dedication in 1935, this landKEN BROOKS mark hydroelectric power producer has been one of Nevada’s most photographed and visited sites. The new memorial bridge offers spectacular views previously only seen from a helicopter. While you are here, take time for one of the scheduled tours to explore the dam inside and out. You’ll be amazed. From Hoover Dam you will probably want to continue on to Las Vegas to spend two or three days. The city began as a dusty railroad stop in the early 1900s and since has become “the city of lights” — it is famous around the world with non-stop flights from Europe daily. Here is a city with non-stop excitement 24 hours of every day. And remember the slogan: What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. I suggest you throw away the budget and stay in one of the upscale resort hotels. Treat yourself to unbridled luxury. Some of these hotels offer suites only; try one of them. Live like royalty for a couple of days. Perhaps you will be celebrating an anniversary or other special time in your life. This is the place! You will probably spend some hard-earned money on one of the gambling tables and who knows, you may win thousands of dollars. Here’s the place to go crazy for a couple days and nights. Take some time in the hotel’s spa and relax in the luxury of it all. You’ll never forget it. See at least two major shows here and enjoy every minute. At the close of two or three days of lavish life, you’ll throw away the silver slippers and be normal again. Why not get back in the car and explore other sights in Nevada? RENO
Head north to Reno — “The Biggest Little City in the World” — with its iconic downtown arch. Leave the car and walk a few blocks southeast to Lake Street near the Truckee River where the original arch resides. Reno offers similar thrills to Vegas, but on a smaller scale. Nice hotels and resorts, more gaming tables and slots and good entertainment at night. The bar scene downtown is a must with all its glitter and Old West feel. LAKE TAHOE
Not far away is Lake Tahoe with its 72 miles of shoreline offering breathtaking views of the entire lake, high mountains and interesting pull-offs around almost every corner. You’ll keep the camera busy the entire time you are in the area. Plan a couple days here in one of the better hotels. In the winter it’s skiing and summer the hotels become fine beach locations next to the lake. It’s fun to rent a bicycle and tour the area or hike the trails through the tall pines. You can also spend several hours on a boat going around the lake. If you canoe, this is the place to get in the exercise. Lake Tahoe is also a good place to simply relax

fever?
The Renaissance Festival is calling Cabin fever could be setting in just about now. Our ever-changing weather might have you aching to get outside and get the garden going. But hold off. For one thing the ground is probably still a bit soggy. For another, these warmer days (with forecast highs in the 60s this week) are a false spring, according to area experts. So, instead of getting out the rake, shovel and hoe, put on some comfortable clothes and good walking shoes for a journey back in time. The 25th Annual Arizona Renaissance Festival begins this weekend, Saturday, Feb. 9 and continues every weekend through Sunday, March 31. The drawbridge to the 30-acre site, east of Apache Junction on U.S. Hwy. 60, drops at 10 a.m. and goes up at 6 p.m., Saturday and Sunday, as well as Presidents’ Day, Monday, Feb. 18. The multi-faceted, fun-filled event is one of the largest of its kind in the United States offering guests a place to revel in the atmosphere of a 16th century European village fair. It has 12 stages featuring music, comedy, falconry, dance and acrobatics and nearly 2,000 costumed entertainers bringing the Renaissance to life. In addition to the unique entertainment, strange and wonderful wares are offered at more that 200 storybook-like shops, studios and galleries filled with arts, crafts, handmade goods, kitchens and pubs. There are demonstrations of time-honored crafts such as weaving, jewelry making, glass blowing, blacksmithing and pottery throwing. Plus there are games and people-powered rides. The rides are a special attraction for the festival’s younger guests: Da Vinci’s Flying Machine; The Slider Joust; Piccolo Pony — a rocking horse bigger than an elephant; The Dragon Climbing Tower; Castle Siege; the Maze; Archery Range; and more. For young and old alike, the live jousting tournaments are one of the festival’s most popular attractions. Armored knights on charging steeds take up their lances and battle three times a day in the 5,000seat arena. Food is plentiful and available throughout the village. The menu is diverse with such offerings as steak-on-a-stake, vegetable and meat pies, pastas, bread bowls filled with hearty stews, decadent desserts and more. Smoked turkey legs anyone? If the gastronomic wonders offered to wandering guests are not enough, there is also the Pleasure Feast. Twice a day, at noon and 2:30 p.m., a grand, five-

course banquet is presented to a limited number of guests. With ample drink, the feast is an hour-and-ahalf of raucous Renaissance entertainment at its best. Feast guests are treated like royalty as the Chef’s kitchen crew and the Feast Master’s boisterous serving wenches and knaves dish up a roaring good time with live music and raucous variety entertainment — the humor is risqué and wildly funny. The Pleasure Feast begins with music and comedy introductions while the audience enjoys an appetizer consisting of baskets of assorted breads accompanied by Caprese skewers of fresh mozzarella, basil leaf and tomato, along with red grapes, Italian cheeses and an assortment of country Mediterranean olives. The Feast Master proceeds to introduce the delicious Tuscan bean soup and the salad courses; and then the meats — choice beef tenderloin seasoned with fresh rosemary sprigs and roasted whole clove garlic, roasted to perfection, served with Chianti raspberry balsamic reduction or chicken breast dusted with flour, sautéed until golden then combined with mushrooms and a Marsala wine reduction. Side dishes accompanying the meal include gold and red potatoes and roasted asparagus. The 90-minute production concludes with a decadent dessert while the Feast Hall staff continues to dish up their emphasis on play acting as well as cooking. Admission to the five-course Pleasure Feast is $69.95 per person, which includes $22 festival admission for all park events, the five-course dinner and show, plus a souvenir limited edition toasting tankard to take home. Feast Hall reservations are recommended and can be made by calling (520) 463-2600. REGULAR ADMISSION

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Stop being the wool-gathering Lamb, and start turning that dream project into reality. You have the ideas, the drive and the charisma to persuade others to follow your lead. So do it. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You’ve scored some big successes. But remember that all hardworking Ferdinands and Ferdinandas need some time to restore their energies and refresh their spirits. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You’re gaining a stronger mental image of what you’re trying to achieve. Now look for the facts that will help get this to develop from a concept into a solid proposal. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Some of you eager-to-please Moon Children might want to delay some decisions until midweek, when you can again think more with your head than your heart. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) A new business venture seems to offer everything you’ve been looking for. But be careful that that rosy picture doesn’t betray traces of red ink under the surface. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) A volatile situation needs the kind of thoughtful and considerate care you can provide right now. There’ll be plenty of time later to analyze what might have gone wrong. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your loyalty to a friend in a tough situation earns you respect from people you care about. Those who criticize you don’t understand what friendship is all about. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Your strong work ethic is rewarded with the kind of challenging opportunity you love to tackle. Now, go ahead and celebrate with family and/or close friends. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) A legal matter you thought had been finally resolved could require a second look. But don’t make any moves without consulting your lawyer. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Taking charge is what you like to do, and since you do it so well, expect to be asked to lead a special group. This could open an exciting new vista for you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) An important matter might wind up being entrusted to you for handling. The responsibility is heavy, but you’ll have support from people able and eager to help. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) A spouse or partner might make an important, even life-changing, suggestion. Consider it carefully. It could hold some of the answers you’ve both been looking for. BORN THIS WEEK: You always try to do the right thing, and for the right reasons. No wonder people have come to depend on you. © 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

Enchiladas Grandes
Complete meals in 30 minutes or less “What’s for dinner?” It’s often the most dreaded question of the day. Between school, activities, work and life, there are nights the big dinner decision doesn’t happen until the last possible minute. Fortunately, the answer is probably right in your pantry — canned food. Canned foods are not only convenient and budget-friendly, they reduce your cooking time and inspire wholesome and delicious meals your family will love. Canned items are also one of the best ways to get food directly from the farm to your family’s table. Because many fruits and vegetables are canned directly after harvest, the canning process seals in foods’ freshness and natural goodness, retaining their taste, quality and nutrients. Canned vegetables and fruits often provide as many vitamins and as much dietary fiber as their fresh and frozen counterparts. So when you’re cooking with canned foods, you can feel confident that you’re serving your family a highquality, hearty, home-cooked meal. And, most importantly, you know what’s for dinner. It’s in your pantry (a.k.a. your “Cantry.”)
ITEMS FOR A WELL-STOCKED “CANTRY” • Canned vegetables (peas, corn, carrots, mushrooms, artichoke hearts, spinach) • Canned tomatoes (sauce, paste, diced, crushed, whole) • Canned beans (black, pinto, garbanzo, navy) • Canned fruit (pears, pineapple, peaches) • Canned seafood (salmon, shrimp, tuna) • Canned flavored beans (baked, refried, seasoned) • Canned broth • Condensed soups • Canned meat (chicken, turkey, roast beef) FAMILY FIESTA SOFT TACOS Preparation time: 15 minutes; cooking time: 10 minutes; makes 8 servings 1 teaspoon vegetable oil 1/2 cup diced onion 1 pound extra-lean ground beef or turkey 1, 4-ounce can diced, mild green chiles 1, 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes, no salt added, drained 1/2 cup drained canned corn 1/2 cup drained and rinsed canned red kidney beans 1 teaspoon chili powder 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper Salt, to taste Spray oil 8, 8-inch whole-wheat flour tortillas, warmed according to package directions 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese 1 cup finely shredded lettuce 1 cup diced avocados
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until lightly browned, stirring often, about 4 minutes. Add beef and cook until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add chiles, tomatoes, corn, beans, chili powder, cumin and pepper and stir until heated through, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt, if needed. Transfer to a serving bowl and keep warm. To serve, plate up warm tortillas, dish up cheese, lettuce and avocado (if desired). Serve with taco meat filling. Assemble and enjoy.
ENCHILADAS GRANDES Preparation time: 5 minutes; cooking time: 20 minutes; makes 2 servings Spray oil 4, 6-inch corn tortillas 2/3 cup canned red enchilada sauce 2 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream 1 cup warm taco meat filling (from Family Fiesta Soft Tacos recipe) 1/4 cup finely shredded sharp, cheddar cheese 1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat large skillet over high heat. Spray with a thin film of oil and wipe out with a paper towel. Cook tortillas on both sides until blistered and soft, about 1 minute per side; keep warm. While tortillas are cooking, pour 1/3 cup enchilada sauce into a pie plate or small rectangular baking dish, about 6-inches-by-10inches. Mix the remaining sauce with sour cream; set aside. Mix meat filling, cheese and cilantro in medium mixing bowl. To assemble: Fill a tortilla with 1/4 cup of the meat mixture, and roll up like a tight cigar. Place seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. Pour enchilada/sour cream mixture over enchiladas. Cover tightly with foil and bake until sauce is bubbling, about 15 minutes. Top with green onions.

Sauté, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes or until softened. Stir in soup and broth. Add rice, carrots, chicken, chili powder, cumin, chipotle chile and 3/4 cup cheese; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes to blend flavors; stir in evaporated milk and chopped cilantro. Garnish with remaining cheese and cilantro sprigs.
STIR-FRIED GINGER BEEF AND BROCCOLI Preparation time: 20 minutes; cooking time: 10 minutes; makes 4 servings 12 ounces beef sirloin strip steak, cut in 1/4-inch strips 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1 tablespoon water 2 teaspoons dark molasses 2 teaspoons cornstarch Pinch crushed red pepper flakes 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (divided) 1/2 large red onion, cut in 1/2-inch chunks 1/2 cup canned corn kernels 1, 4-ounce can sliced mushrooms, drained 1 large garlic clove, minced 1 tablespoon minced ginger root 1 cup canned, diced tomatoes, drained 4 cups (12 ounces) broccoli florets, cut in bite-size pieces 1/2 cup water 1 scallion, roots trimmed, thinly sliced Toss beef, soy sauce, water, molasses, cornstarch and crushed red pepper in a mixing bowl until the beef is uniformly coated; set aside for 15 minutes.

Add garlic and ginger and stir-fry another 30 seconds. Transfer to a clean mixing bowl. Add another teaspoon of oil to the wok and heat until smoking. Add beef and stir fry until browned, about 3 minutes. Add diced tomatoes and continue cooking until beef is cooked through, scraping any brown bits clinging to the surface of the wok into the mixture. Transfer to bowl with vegetables. Add remaining oil to wok. Add broccoli florets and stir-fry until bright green, about 1 minute. Add 1/2 cup water, toss with broccoli, cover and steam until broccoli is tender, about 2 minutes. Uncover, return vegetables and beef to broccoli, and toss until everything is combined. Scrape onto a large serving platter. Garnish with sliced scallion.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH
Herpes outbreaks lessen over time BY PAUL G. DONOHUE, M.D. 2013 NORTH AMERICA SYND., INC.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Please, give me all the information possible about herpes. I am a carrier. — D.N. ANSWER: I take it you’re interested in genital herpes — herpes simplex virus-2, HSV-2. The first encounter with the virus leads to an outbreak of tiny, painful blisters on red patches on the genital skin. Fever, headache, muscle pain and pain on urination often are also experienced with a first outbreak. Recurrent attacks are not as severe. Fever, headache and muscle pain do not accompany subsequent outbreaks, but the skin signs are painful. The first year of infection is a year of more frequent outbreaks. After that, they come less often. If a person is subject to many outbreaks, that person can suppress them by taking Zovirax, Famvir or Valtrex at the first inklings that an outbreak is about to take place. For recurrence after recurrence, a person can go on daily doses of these medicines to keep outbreaks in check. Once infected, a person stays infected for life. That person is a carrier. Transmission is a huge problem. Even when a person has no signs of an outbreak, he or she can pass the virus to a partner. Therefore, all sexual partners should be told about the infection. Condoms, while not 100 percent protective, afford a major degree of safety. When a visible outbreak takes place, the infected person ought not to engage in sexual contact. You are not alone. The herpes-2 virus infects up to 20 percent of the adult population of North America. Bad as it is, it is not the end of life or the end of a sex life. The booklet on herpes infection provides a more detailed discussion of this common malady. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue — No. 1202W, 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: Will you explain to me why a doctor would refuse to give a patient a shot of vitamin B-12? My former doctor, now deceased, gave me a monthly B-12 shot, and it kept me peppy. My new doctor says I don’t need the shots. Would they hurt me? — B.A. ANSWER: The shots won’t hurt you. However, you need them only if you have a proven B-12 deficiency. At one time it was a widespread but not endorsed practice to give people shots of vitamin B-12 to energize them. It’s a practice that never should have been started. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My mother made all her children chew their food at least 25 times. She claimed that it helped food digest. I gave this up when I left home at 18. Is there any evidence that chewing that number of times aids digestion? — H.H. ANSWER: The object of chewing is to reduce the size of food so it can be swallowed easily and to mix saliva with the food for the same reason. Saliva starts the digestive process. I have never heard that a prescribed number of chews is necessary to accomplish these goals. 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 at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 328536475.
