A journey across the country to New England will provide a time to bond and learn about our varied history.

Have your cameras ready. The town is meticulously maintained with museums of the Civil War and Old South. Albuquerque, N.M. has grown from a rather small city to quite large. It now boasts a population of more than 500,000 residents and continues to grow. Here is the city for various outdoor adventures and drives up to Sandia Crest and to old Spanish churches. There are balloon festivals, old Indian sights and a good zoo. My first real job after graduating university was with KOB-TV, the NBC Channel 4. It was here that I began to learn live TV production in the 1950s. A good two-day trip from home would be to drive to Flagstaff, board the AMTRAK train and travel to Albuquerque. Here you will have a little time to visit old town and perhaps have a Mexican food lunch before reboarding the train back to Flagstaff. It’s a long day but, very interesting. Asheville, N.C. is on the rise. It boasts charm and a cosmopolitan feel stemming from the literary giants who lived here. There was Thomas Jefferson, Carl Sandburg and O Henry to name only three. It is located at two rivers and nestled amongst beautiful countryside. Get on the Blue Ridge Parkway and enjoy the spirit of this southern area. Park City, Utah is only 35 minutes from the Salt Lake City airport and is surrounded with rugged beauty in this famous ski area. There are more than 100 restaurants and bars, open-air

concerts, numerous spas and health clubs, independent film screenings and world-class events and festivals. Lodging is varied and priced according to the class of accommodation. You can try out the summertime version of the bobsled at the Utah Olympic Park or try your luck on one of the golf courses. You can smell the pine mountain air all over the town. Santa Cruz, Calif. is growing almost every day. Located on the blue Pacific Ocean the town boasts a boardwalk, marina and interesting shops with professional artisans displaying and selling their wares. You will find a tasty selection of restaurants and bars along with activities for just about any age group including walking the beaches at sunrise and sunset. If you take your pooch, they will love

On the East Coast there are numerous small towns and cities that continue to grow with tourists. New England is loaded with small, picturesque locations and many are full with early American history. Just look at a map of the area and you will see what I mean. A great summer activity would be to drive across the United States visiting some of the towns and cites we have mentioned here as well as many others. Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York State claim many historical areas along with New England. I realize gas and lodging are not a bargain today, but the rewards await your discovery.

on. He also attracted fellow actors Sam Rockwell, Drew Barrymore, Julia Roberts, Rutger Hauer and, of course himself in major roles, but also Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, Michael Cera and Maggie Gyllenhaal in cameos. This ability to attract major stars to his movies says a lot about their affection for him and their belief in his abilities. This first film did not find the audience that they hoped for. In 2005 Clooney came back as a director with “Good Night and Good Luck,” another unlikely script. The film dealt with TV newsman Edward R. Murrow, the iconic nightly CBS visitor to the living rooms of America. The action is set in 1953 when elements of the government were very concerned about communists infiltrating the media. Murrow resisted the often heavy-handed efforts of Congress to ruin, by association, members of the TV industry. Clooney used archive film of the day in his movie, which led him to film in black and white, always a controversial and risky move. David Strathairn played Murrow with Clooney himself and Robert Downey Jr. in major supporting roles. “Good Night and Good Luck” paid off for Clooney in a big way, both as an artistic success and financially. He mortgaged his own home to come up with some of his seed money. Other producers include Dallas Mavericks owner and “Shark Tank” TV star Mark Cuban as well as ex-eBay boss Jeff Skoll. They put the movie together for a thrifty $7 million and it returned almost $57 million in worldwide gross. Now both as an artist and as a proven moneymaker Clooney could be said to have made his bones as a Hollywood director. His next outing “Leatherheads” was less successful. The 2008 comedy about the early days of pro football pleased some audiences, but not enough to claw back the $58 million spent on the film. Clooney directed himself in the leading role opposite Renee Zellweger. Another financial triumph for Clooney as a director turned out to be “Ides of March.” It was also well received by his peers. The film garnered nominations for a slew of awards from Venice to Palm Springs, including one for Clooney himself with an Oscar nod. The film deals in a realistic and gritty way with political skullduggery at the very highest level, a well that never seems to run dry in American cinema.

We see a pattern here emerging. Clooney takes on difficult subjects, sometimes with success. Rotten tomatoes loved this one, as did the public. The modestly budgeted film cost $12.5 million to make and returned $76 million at the box office. With the four films now a matter of history we can mark the score for director Clooney. He has two major hits and two fluffs, if the box office reflects the quality of his movies. But his hits are home runs and neither of his misses are actual bombs. He had a lot of courage in making “The Monuments Men.” Director Clooney does not take the easy road, but the more interesting and lonely road less traveled. Perhaps one clue to the ultimate success of

“The Monuments Men” is the fact that Clooney also wrote the script, a fact the film has in common with both of his home runs. ALSO PLAYING AT SAWMILL

RIM HISTORY RIM HISTORY BACK WHEN | STAN BROWN

RIM COUNTRY PLACES CHAPTER 37: STRAWBERRY

As one might guess, the name for the village of Strawberry was bestowed by early settlers who found wild strawberries growing profusely in the area, especially along the stream that flowed from under the Mogollon Rim. The location was an important junction for early wagon roads leading to Flagstaff and Camp Verde. As is true of many roads in the Rim Country they were blazed by Native Americans, both ancient and more recent. Both prehistoric and historic clans dominated the area until the second half of the 19th century. Before the first permanent settlers arrived in the Strawberry Valley, ranchers from the Verde Valley were ranging their cattle here, erecting a cabin for shelter during roundups. The year was 1877 when brothers Isaac (“Ike”) and John Lowthian came from Missouri and began raising hogs to supply STAN BROWN meat to the military post at Camp Verde. Their slaughterhouse would one day become modern resident, the late Lufkin Hunt’s barn at the west end of the valley. Among the first to come over the Rim to Strawberry was the Hough family. In 1878 they made camp at Baker’s Butte, and scouted from there to find a way down over the Rim. At one point the Rim sloped down the thousand-foot descent and they could see a faint trail. They widened the trail and cut large pine logs to drag behind the wagons as brakes so not to overrun the horses. When the Houghs got there they found others already arrived, including the Nelson and Bunch families. Within a couple of years many others came that way like John and Margaret Lazear and their sons, on their way to Pine. In 1882 a friend of Lowthian, Charles C.

Callaway learned about Strawberry and at age 22 came to visit. He walked three days from Camp Verde to get there, and immediately settled to become one of the early residents. The families of John Henry Wingfield arrived from California three years later and in due time the Wingfield’s daughter Matilda was married to C. C. Callaway. A settler who would become a prominent politician in Arizona and a member of the Territorial Legislature, Lafayette P. Nash brought his wife Mary and their children to the Rim Country to establish mining claims around Payson and then they settled in Strawberry Valley in 1882. The Nash ranch was at the foot of the crude trail over the Rim that came to be called Nash Point. L. P. Nash had gone to Camp Reno in Tonto Basin, leaving his family at Strawberry. There he was alerted to dangers from an Apache outbreak and sent a rider to warn his family. Subsequently, a harrowing story was told by the Nash’s daughter-in-law, Mrs. William B. Nash, “One summer evening a rider came to their house and told Mrs. Nash that a band of Apaches were raiding the ranches. Of course Mrs. Nash was terribly frightened. Mr. Nash was away getting supplies. She decided that if they were all to die she would dress her two children, Walter, herself and Nina in the prettiest clothes they had, lay them on the bed and wait for the worst to come. Then she put out all the lamps and the fire in the fireplace. “During the night she heard skirmishing and commotion around the cow barn. After a time all became quiet and Mrs. N. was sure the Indians were creeping up to the house to kill them and burn the house down. Mrs. Nash waited until morning came and they were all alive. All the Indians wanted was the cattle, which they took. The children lived to wear their pretty clothes on a more pleasant occasion.” By 1885 there were six families in Strawberry Valley and the residents “decided

The Old Strawberry School House

their kids were running like rabbits all over the place and should have a school.” Strawberry was still in Yavapai County at the time, and so residents looked to Prescott for a school and county superintendent of schools Bucky O’Neill. L. P. Nash was a personal friend of O’Neill’s and this helped not only to get a school district for Strawberry, but also to provide good desks and furnishings once it was built. They even furnished an organ. The substantial log building, put up by the local families, quickly became the social center for the community. The school census in 1884 listed, “10 boys 7 girls, all white, 9 of them came from 2 miles or more.” The school building stands today, noted as the oldest standing school in Arizona. A post office was established in 1886, and the government requiring a shorter name for the community shortened it to simply “Strawberry.” L. P. Nash became its first postmaster, and the deliveries continued until 1904 when the Strawberry post office was discontinued and the mail went through Pine. Every settlement must have a cemetery, and the Strawberry cemetery is just up a small road that runs beside the school. A small sign, easily missed, points the way. Though larger in earlier days, the cemetery today is quite small and most of the burials cannot be identified. The plots that are distinguishable have been protected and the

rest of the cemetery has become covered with growth. John Lowthian and his daughter Livie are buried here, and another grave that may be his wife Sarah shows the name Lowthian. The grave marked “Prather” was a man who died working in the field. The grave of 10-year-old John Wingfield, who died in 1899, calls up the agony parents experienced with so many children dying young. Sarah and James Wingfield had 10 children. When Sarah died in 1904 only three of the children were still living. The difficult passage over Nash Point was destined to be replaced by something less treacherous. C. C. Callaway wrote in the “Arizona Cattlelog” (page 47, May 1956), “Bill Burch was said to be the first man to take a wagon into the basin from the Strawberry side, following an old Indian trail, going through the break in the mountain pass between Pine and Strawberry. It is said he let his wagon down several of the hills with block and tackle or chaining a tree to the back end to hold the wagon back.” This route was then developed into a wagon road along the sides of Strawberry canyon, and little by little the pioneers improved it. It was called “The Strawberry Grade” and “The Mormon Trail” for all of the folks who came to settle Pine. When automobiles became the mode of transportation the trail was graded in the 1920s and served as the connection for Payson, Pine and Strawberry to Winslow and Flagstaff.

‘Lego Movie’ and ‘Vampire Academy’ also showing at Sawmill Theatres FROM PAGE 4

TV is just great fun. The story is simple in the outlines, as it should be in a children’s film. The bad guy wants to glue the Lego blocks together, freezing them in a static construction for all time. This destroys the whole concept of the Lego block universe, to foster individual creativity in children. In a case of mistaken identity our every man (every figure?) hero assumes the role of the expected savior of Lego Land. He is in the works of the movie blurb “A nobody who saved everybody.” I like the idea of saving human creativity and the idea of a potential hero in every one of us. A pair of experienced pros directs the film. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller also tag-team directed the very artistically and

commercially successful “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs,” which spawned a sequel. A team of four writers had a hand in either the original story or the writing of the screenplay or both, often a kiss of creative death — but not here. Voice actors include Jonah Hill, Charlie Day, Will Ferrell and Morgan Freeman. The wee ones in your life will like this ﬁlm and so will you.

VAMPIRE ACADEMY PG-13 – FANTASY/VAMPIRE – 1 HOUR, 44 MINUTES BUDGET: LOW WORLDWIDE GROSS: $4 MILLION

We learn of a new race of people in “Vampire Academy” — sort of. The halfhuman, half-vampire Dhampir are the protectors of the nice vampires, the Moroi and

enemies of the bad vampires, the Strigoi. If this is a bit beyond your usual vampire lore, read the books. Author Richelle Mead penned a total of six books aimed at teens in the “Vampire Academy” series, selling some 8 million copies. That should give her a nice fan base to entice into the darkened theaters. But that isn’t the end of her work. Another half-dozen books have followed from her busy computer in the spin-off “Blood Line” series. Her work has attracted several book awards, including the wonderfully named Quick Picks for Young Reluctant Readers award for 2008. Daniel Waters (“Batman Returns,” “Heathers”) wrote the screenplay from the original novel by Mead. The incredible success of the “Twilight” and “Hunger Games” ﬁlms spawns another movie based on a

book for romantic young girls. Mark Waters directs, using his experience with such successes as “Mean Girls” and “Freaky Friday” to guide him. Director Mark Waters and screenwriter Daniel Waters are brothers. This low-budget teen/vampire flick saved plenty of money by using attractive young people for the stars, many of who come from the television world. Zoey Deutch (TV and recently on film in “Beautiful Creatures”) stars as Rose Hathaway, the Dhampir who protects Lucy Fry (also TV) who plays Princess Lissa Dragomir, her BFF. In his first English-speaking role we have new to us Russian actor Danila Kozlovsky as the exotically handsome Victor Dashkov. “Vampire Academy” has the potential to satisfy a lot of moviegoers.

RIM REVIEW • FEBRUARY 19, 2014

COVER STORY | MICHELE NELSON

Michele Nelson photos

The mystery of petroglyphs that pepper the Rim Country — if you know where to look — ignites the imagination. Who were the ancient people that made these marks on stone? What story or message were they trying to convey with the images? If we knew the secrets of the carvings would it help us create a better, more balanced, peaceful world?

The hunt for petroglyphs I gingerly stepped over a tiny cholla cactus only to land on scraggly cat claw hidden by the dried grass. The hooked thorns dug into the side of my foot, but I decided I could deal with it later — more important to keep up with the group. I had joined up with Dusty Miller to hunt for petroglyphs south of Payson on the rolling hills next to Rye. Each Tuesday morning, Miller and other leaders in the hiking group Payson Packers, head out to explore the trails and off-road sites around Rim Country. Usually I have other assignments to cover, but this time petroglyphs called. The figures ancient inhabitants shaved through the “desert varnish” on stones have left pictures that generate more questions than they answer. “What do the designs mean?” “Why were they etched into the

rocks?” “Why did the artists pick that spot to etch their pictures?” “What were those ancient people doing out in the middle of nowhere?” On this warmer than-usual-day in January, our group headed out using GPS coordinates Miller had from a previous Packers’ trip. Good thing because I would have immediately gotten lost in the hillocks: But that’s the joy of hunting for Rim Country treasures with the Packers — seasoned guides that make sure you’re free to just enjoy the scenery. Those ancient people must have had an uncanny sense of direction. The petroglyphs we found waited far from any marked trail: Nor did they sit by a stream, or other natural place of interest. Instead, they seem to simply litter the landscape, turning it into an ancient art gallery. CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

Are the spiral circles that dominate these Rim Country petroglyphs a map or a timeline? What does it mean when a spiral is crossed by a line? Is a line through the entire spiral (at left) saying something different than when there are lines just through a small portion of the spiral (below) or when the spiral line trails off (above)? The mystery may never be solved, but it certainly fuels the imagination.

Mysterious marks fuel the imagination FROM PAGE 6

As we meandered through the brush, our group ran across piles of desert varnished stones atop hills surrounded by pinion pines and juniper trees. Birds flitted and called, mimicking our excited cries as we found piles of ancient art. “Hey! There’s some over here! — Look at these designs — That looks like a lizard — There’s a coil like a snake or those designs on pottery,” we chattered back and forth in a delirium of discovery. Petroglyphs cover the state of Arizona. Scientists can provide at least rough estimates of the dates of the designs because of the “desert varnish” phenomenon, experts say. Desert varnish happens when airborne particles of minerals such as iron and manganese oxide fall on the face of rocks. Then microbes and bacteria work on the minerals to form the varnish. The varnish sticks to the rock like cement. Experts believe the ancients used rock chisels to peck out the petroglyphs. The varnishing process explains why the pictures remain so clear 500 to 1,000 years later. The varnishing process can date the designs, since the varnish begins to form afresh on the chiseled out designs. Experts say the designs changed over the millennia. According to Arizona Ruins.com, there are some distinct styles.

The Anasazi Style, from the Four Corners’ region was produced from A.D. 300 to 1300, as were the Hohokam Style from the Phoenix area and Salt River region. The much older Archaic Style lies scattered throughout the state and dates from A.D. 300 to 5000 B.C. Some petroglyphs depict animals, such as big horn sheep, elk or deer. Others have people dancing, hunting, or adorned with elaborate headgear. Yet others have geometric designs that seem to be simple decorations, but if placed right, mark the solstices. The Forest Service prefers that people not publish the exact location of ruins or petroglyphs to deter thieves. It’s illegal to remove such artifacts from public lands, with stiff fines for violators. Even the Arizona Ruins Web site uses cryptic descriptions of where ruins are located because of looters. Once again the handful of vandals and thieves have made it more difficult for everyone else. As I climbed back into my car, cunningly found by Miller with his trusty GPS thingy, I looked up at the hills we had just wandered. No way would I find those petroglyphs again without the coordinates from Miller, but he promised I could get them from him any time. I plan on it. http://www.arizonaruins.com/afnm/petr o.html

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your efforts in behalf of a colleague do not go unnoticed, let alone unappreciated. Meanwhile, arrange to spend more time investigating that troubling fact you recently uncovered. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Devoting a lot of time to a current career move means having less time for those in your private life. But once you explain the circumstances, they should understand and be supportive. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Organizing your many duties in order of importance should help you get through them pretty quickly. Additional information puts that still-to-be-made decision in a new light. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Lingering bad feelings over a recent misunderstanding should fade as reconciliation efforts continue. Meanwhile, vacation plans might need to be revised because of new developments. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Love dominates the Lion’s heart this week, with Cupid shooting arrows at single Leos and Leonas looking for romance. Partnered pairs also enjoy strengthened relationships. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) “Getting to Know You” should be the single Virgo’s theme song as you and that special person discover more about one another. That workplace situation needs looking into. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You might be upset at having your objectivity questioned in the handling of a dispute. But it would be wise to re-examine your feelings to make sure you’re being fair with both sides. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) A family dispute creates mixed feelings about how you hope it will be ultimately resolved. Best advice: Stay out of it and let the involved parties work it through by themselves. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Making an effort to smooth over even the smallest obstacles now will go a long way to assuring that things run smoothly once you’re set to move on with your plans. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) A challenge to your authority can be upsetting, but your longtime supporters want you to defend your position so you can win over even your most adamant detractors. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Being unable to get involved in a friend’s problem calls for an honest approach. Provide explanations, not excuses. Another friend might be able to offer support for your decision. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You find yourself swimming in circles, looking for some way to get back on a straight course. But things get easier once you’re able to refocus your energies. BORN THIS WEEK: You’re known for your charm and your wisdom, and there’s no one who wouldn’t want you to be part of his or her life. © 2014 King Features Syndicate

RIM REVIEW • FEBRUARY 19, 2014

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: For some reason, I have gotten into the habit of checking my pulse when I walk or when I sit. While I watch TV, my pulse is about 100. Isn’t that way too fast? — C.K. ANSWER: Pulse and heartbeat are one and the same. When the heart ejects blood, a pressure pulse is created in the all the body’s arteries. You can feel the pulse beat in the neck, the ankle or the thumb side of the wrist. A normal pulse rate (heartbeat) is 60 to 100 times a minute. Your 100 is normal, but at the high end of normal. Since you have no symptoms, you don’t have to rush to see a doctor. But at your next exam, mention your high pulse rate. The doctor can judge if conditions that lead to a fast heartbeat need to be investigated. An overactive thyroid gland and anemia are two such conditions. The booklet on heartbeat irregularities explains the heart’s many rhythm problems. Atrial fibrillation is the chief one. You do not have it.

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: I do hope you will be able to reply to my question. It is something that quite upsets me. My granddaughter had a tattoo put on her arm from shoulder to elbow. Why she ever did this is beyond me. She is to be married next September. She is trying to cover the tattoo with makeup so it won’t be seen. Is it possible to have it removed? Do plastic surgeons take these things off? — C.G. ANSWER: People mulling over the wisdom of a tattoo should consider it like they would a diamond — something that lasts forever. It could make them pause. Yes, tattoos can be removed with lasers. Treatment is expensive, time-consuming and sometimes cannot get rid of all traces of the tattoo. It depends on the pigment used, but lasers do a pretty good job. Work is under way for the development of pigments that are more readily erased. Plastic surgeons, dermatologists and other doctors are adept at removing tattoos. Older treatments, still used from time to time, include cutting out the skin (done with small tattoos) or abrading the tattoo, similar to abrading acne scars. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: What can I do to get rid of a carbuncle? I have had it for four months. — M.G. ANSWER: Carbuncles are huge boils that penetrate more deeply than do boils. They have to be opened and drained of the pus within them. Antibiotics generally are prescribed, too. Often, the antibiotic chosen has to be one that’s effective against MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staph aureus, pronounced “mersa”). MRSA is one of the new supergerms that are touched only by a few, rarely prescribed antibiotics. Carbuncles are found most often on the neck, back, thighs and buttocks. You must have a doctor treat them. You’re not going to meet with success on your own. 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.
