TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS

A VISIT TO SWITZERLAND Switzerland is one of the most beautiful countries on this planet. Natural scenery is all about you. You experience the remnants of the past as well as the present. You’ll see street parades, dances to celebrate the harvest of local wines and the traditions of old. Swiss heritage and traditions are more alive than ever and you will see for yourself the greatness of the citizens and the pleasures of beautiful scenery. Switzerland is located in the heart of Europe with many flights daily from many North American cities to Zurich and Geneva or access from other KEN BROOKS European countries by high-speed rail. You’ll find a travel system to rely on no mater where you are in the country. You will discover unspoiled nature and breathtaking scenery in the heart of the Alps. I flew over the country recently and couldn’t take my eyes away from the window as the snow-caped Alps crossed my sight. Dramatic is the word for what I saw traveling at 30,000 feet. There are placid lakes, unspoiled nature and breathtaking scenery as the rivers flow through the valleys. The public transportation system is perfectly coordinated, with trains, busses and boats all over the country working as smoothly as the proverbial Swiss watch. This is the case whether you visit during the winter or summer. You will find a wealth of museums, shopping and entertainment and all can be reached by public transportation. Yes, Switzerland is known for its cheese and chocolate, but it also serves up some of the tastiest cuisine in Europe. Connoisseurs in all corners of the world note the country’s wines. You’ll discover there are four official languages and four distinctive cultures in such a small country making the Swiss experience most interesting. You will find hotels in all categories from one star to five. It’s best to purchase a guidebook that lists them with their star rating. Some hotels are very basic, while others offer amenities that include meals, fine linen, and spas. Some travelers even discover vacation homes and guesthouses as family-friendly alternatives to hotels. No visa is required for American citizens if the stay is not longer than three months. All you need is a valid passport. The currency is the Swiss franc, however merchants may accept Euros. The climate in winter is cold and warm in summer and all depends on the altitude you are at during your stay. If you travel there this summer, some of the events you may wish to attend are the Montreux Jazz Festival, the Film Festival Locarno, The Alphorn players day in Wengen, the Lucerne Festival in Summer and the Federal Wrestling and Alpine Festival at Burgdorf. If you are planning to travel through

There are lots of things to see and do in the small, clean country of Switzerland — from the Alps to beautiful lakes to the palm-accented southern reaches.

Metro Creative Services

Switzerland using public transportation, pack only the essentials so you will not be burdened with too much luggage. You can get a rail schedule online that will assist you in planning your itinerary. If you plan to enter Switzerland by air and will land at Zurich, the airport is close to the city and other major centers of tourism. At the Lucerne airport you will be in the Lake region with top quality hotels, museums and other points of interest. Lucerne’s trademark mountain is Pilatus and reaches 7,000 ft. There is a steep Cogwheel railway that will take you to the top with a viewing area to see the scenes of the lake and valleys below. Glacier Mountain, Europe’s highest glacier, is in the Lake Lucerne region. Titlis Rotair is at 10,000 ft. and can be visited by the world’s first revolving cable car. The Ice Flyer Chairlift will glide you slowly over the glacier crevasses and the breathtaking views are memorable. Zurich is a vibrant and elegant city located on Lake Zurich wrapped amidst stunning nature and mountains. The Old Town has developed from a Roman Custom station into a tourist destination bustling with life. It is home to Switzerland’s liveliest nightlife with some 50 museums and more than 100 galleries. This was the birthplace of the Dada art movement to the largest collection of Swiss cultural history. Basel is nestled where three countries meet; the city culture offers nearly 40 museums and many high caliber events. Art is to be found all over the city. What’s to see? You will want to include the Town Hall with its sandstone walls, which is Basel’s most striking building. Bern offers medieval buildings, the Old Town section and the longest covered shopping promenade in Europe. And, in the

nearby Emmental Valley, visitors are introduced to a true regional secret, the Emmental Cheese. You will want to visit Bear Park, home to Bern’s heraldic animals, the Clock Tower where mechanical figures come to life every hour before the stroke of the bell. Then, there is the Einstein Museum, which is the largest exhibition in the world devoted to the great physicist who once lived in Bern and the Paul Klee Center where the magnificicent structure houses 4,000 works by the Bernnative artist. You won’t want to miss Lake Geneva and the Matterhorn region. Here are majestic mountains, lakes, exciting towns and memorable landscapes. Include Geneva’s famous fountain, the “Jet d’eau” and the sights of the Lavaux Vineyard Terraces located between Lausanne and Montrreus Riviera, Aletsch Glacier, and the eternal ice on top of the Matterhorn. Also here is the highest density of Michelin-Star restaurants in Switzerland serving local fare with fine wines. Geneva is also the cradle of the Swiss watch making industry and seat of many international organizations. Here are luxury shopping and high-end accommodations. The nearby Alps will show you a thrilling playground for outdoor sports and unspoiled mountain villages. This is truly a mountain pleasure region. St. Moritz lies in the high, sun-blessed valley of the Engadin, surprising visitors with the pristine natural beauty and its sparkling and invigorating climate which some refer to it as a “Champagne climate.” Here is a valley of wide-open spaces, thrilling contrasts, making it a destination for a holiday in paradise for summer and winter with a remarkable array of sports and leisure activities.

It is also one of the most glamorous holiday resorts in the world. Its name is protected as a trademark and stands for style, elegance and high class. This is the birthplace of Alpine winter tourism and sports. It has seen an array of Olympic Winter Games, as well as numerous ski and bobsled world championships. The next Alpine World Ski Championships will be held here in 2017. There are some 90 hotels and the community grants free travel on 13 cable cars, funiculars and chairlifts. Take the Muottas Muragi rail train offering mind-bending views across Engadin Lake. There are 220 miles of finely prepared slopes, 57 ski lifts and 34 mountain restaurants with sun terraces — an absolute snow sports paradise. There are other panoramic train excursions. The Jungfrau region is to enjoy a unique panaormac view of the UNESCO World Heritage site of Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau. A region packed with summer and winter attractions Interlaken is the gateway to the Jungfraujoch between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz and offers splendid walking trails to high adventure and many attractions. A cog rail will take you to 11,332 feet for breathtaking views of the Aletsch Glacier. You can do a lake cruise on a paddle wheel steamer or visit the open-air museum at Ballenberg with its rural dwellings and lifetyles. Also enjoyable is a visit to Ticino, which is Switzerland’s palm tree region. It occupies the southernmost corner of Switzerland where the climate is mild and the people sing in Italian. Valle Verzasca is an emerald-green river winding its way through the wild valley past historic villages. Switzerland is a land for almost everyone. It’s got everything!

RIM HISTORY RIM HISTORY RIM COUNTRY HISTORY | TIM EHRHARDT

THE MINING CLAIMS OF HERBERT H. LOGAN In the early 1890s, 16 mining claims, totaling 236.96 acres, were patented by Herbert H. Logan in Gila County. Most of these are relatively close to Payson and all are in the northern part of Gila County. The group includes some big names, such as Gowan, Oxbow and Excursion. Here is a closer look at the history of these claims. Most, if not all, of Logan’s claims were likely held by the Consolidated Excursion Mining Company during the early 1880s. This company was formed in 1880 with Herbert H. Logan and his brother Walter involved. The Logans were from back east, and Walter was a lawyer at the time in New York, which is probably why the company was incorporated in New York. The Logans seemingly ran with a crowd of movers and shakers, amongst them Judge DeForest Porter. Porter was one of three Arizona territory Supreme Court justices at the time and would take over management of the company’s mines. He was also a co-locator of the Excursion Mine

According to old Arizona Department of Mines and Mineral Resources files, commodities that have been produced at the Oxbow are gold, silver, copper, gold placer and fluorine fluorspar. According to mindat.org, “workings include a 528 foot tunnel cutting the vein along its full length, a two-compartment shaft down 200 feet, with 40 feet of drifts, and a 40 foot tunnel.” The Oxbow has continued to be worked off and on to this day. The Gowan mine is another one with a strong past. Primarily a gold producer, a 1920s bulletin put out by the University of Arizona stated that “during the early days this was the most famous mine in the district and the largest producer.” It was named for David Gowan, the early prospector who also made the Tonto Natural Bridge his home. The Logan patents are an important group of mining claims in the area’s history. Many companies have mined them to varying degrees of success. They represent the great mining hopes of many.

Harold Ramis - R.I.P. BY ANDY MCKINNEY MOVIE REVIEWER

Many of his fans, me included, find it a little more difficult to put on a smiling face with the recent passing of one of the funniest people on the planet. Big screen actor, director, producer and writer Harold Ramis passed on to his reward at the age of 69. He made us laugh by the millions. Chicago born Ramis got his feet wet in the comedy business by editing the jokes in Playboy magazine, some of which I can still remember if a little dimly these days. He worked at the National Lampoon and later at Second City. His intelligence and insight brought him to a reign as head writer for Second City Television - SCTV — the wonderful incubator for comic talent. But it is his work as a screenwriter for which we know him best and through which he achieved his best success. What a huge pile of work he has and what a huge stack of full on rolling belly laughs he has bestowed upon his audiences. Many of films penned by Ramis have long since been inculcated into the pantheon of our funny bones as among the greatest ever. In 1978 he wrote the script for “National Lampoon’s Animal House,” which jumpstarted the careers of a bunch of young

actors. Karen Allen, Tim Matheson, Mary Louise Weller, Peter Riegert, Kevin Bacon and of course John Belushi all made their marks along with Donald Sutherland as a pot smoking professor. Ramis wrote the lines that these mad men delivered. This set the pace for his future career. Write vivid characters, give them great lines to deliver and get the best actors possible to speak them. He came back from a stupendous success of “Animal House” in 1979 with “Meatballs.” A send up of summer camp, “Meatballs” marked another success and began a long association with comic actor Bill Murray. The following year Ramis wrote what came to be the classic Bill Murray vehicle, “Caddyshack.” Ramis also directed Caddyshack and his genius as a director might well have been to let Murray and Rodney Dangerfield just go totally nuts. 1981 proves that the talented writer has not lost his mojo. “Stripes,” featuring Murray again along with John Candy, John Larroquette, Warren Oates and Sean Young came to the screen that year. Ramis wrote a character for himself in this one. This set him up for his greatest triumph, “Ghostbusters.” “Ghostbusters” has become a part of the American cultural tradition (as have “Animal House” and “Caddyshack”) in a

way that is hard to underestimate. Most of us know what to say when asked “Who you gonna call?” We even look at slime and the Pillsbury Dough Boy in a different way because of “Ghostbusters.” Ramis’ “Back to School” is a movie so funny as to make one lose track of one’s bodily functions. For me it ends the magical comedy string of this amazing man. Rodney Dangerfield plays a loud, crude but financially successful guy who returns to college in middle age. A lot of the credit has to go to Dangerfield, but Ramis writes the jokes and creates the situations. These are the core of his most successful comedies. But they do not include all of his best work. He wrote sequels to some of his hits. He also wrote the successful movie for Robert De Niro, “Analyze This” followed by “Analyze That.” He directed the first of these comedies where he puts Billy Crystal in a bad spot as the psychiatrist to a mob boss. But his masterpiece has yet to be mentioned. In 1993 “Groundhog Day” appeared in our theaters. Bill Murray is back as a cynical TV weatherman with Andie MacDowell as his producer and Chris Elliot as his cameraman. But it is Murray’s picture. He is caught in a hellish time loop. The TV people go to do a piece on winter; they film the groundhog to estimate how long winter will last. But when Murray

awakes the next morning, he finds he is doomed to relive Groundhog Day over and over. Murray is on screen for most of the time as he repeats his day over and over. Eventually, he begins to pay attention to the humans around him, to try to understand them and their lives. He sheds his cynicism — after trying every other possible mode of behavior — and becomes the decent person that he had inside all along. In its way it is a moving and beautiful story. Ramis wrote it. Ramis also directed it. It is a gem. Ramis wrote some 36 movie and TV scripts and screenplays. He has 23 acting credits on his sheet including Dr. Egon Spengler in “Ghostbusters” and Russell Ziskey in “Stripes.” He produced 15 projects including several of his own efforts. As a director he did that job as lately as 2010 in the last of several episodes of “The Office” that he was responsible for. He directed “Groundhog Day,” “Bedazzled,” which featured Elizabeth Hurley as an entirely believable demonic temptress, and a dozen other TV and big screen films. I have seen most of his films more than once. They are the kind of films that last, that can make you laugh even when you know what’s coming next. That is brilliance of the first order. I think I’ll ease my sorrow by watching “Stripes,” then “Animal House” and round things out with “Groundhog Day.” I think it will help.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You’ll want to discourage well-meaning but potentially illadvised interference in what you intend to accomplish. Your work has a better chance to succeed if it reflects you. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The Bovine’s well-deserved reputation for loyalty could be tested if you learn that it might be misplaced. But don’t rely on rumors. Check the stories out before you decided to act. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You’ve been going on adrenaline for a long time, and this unexpected lull in a recent spate of excitement could be just what you need to restore your energy levels. Enjoy it. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Friends can be counted on to help you deal with a perplexing personal situation. But remember to keep your circle of advisers limited only to those you’re sure you can trust. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Security-loving Lions do not appreciate uncertainty in any form. But sometimes changing situations can reveal hidden stresses in time to repair a relationship before it’s too late. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is a good time for single Virgos to make a love connection. Be careful not to be too judgmental about your new “prospect” — at least until you know more about her or him. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your sense of justice helps you resolve a problem that might have been unfairly attributed to the wrong person. Spend the weekend doing some long-neglected chores. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You might feel justified in your anger toward someone you suspect betrayed your trust. But it could help if you take the time to check if your suspicions have substance. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Ignore distractions if you hope to accomplish your goal by the deadline you agreed to. Keep the finish line in sight, and you should be able to cross it with time to spare. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Your creative self continues to dominate through much of the week. Also, despite a few problems that have cropped up, that recent romantic connection seems to be thriving. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) As curious as you might be, it’s best to avoid trying to learn a colleague’s secret. That sort of knowledge could drag you into a difficult workplace situation at some point down the line. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Instead of spending too much time floundering around wondering if you can meet your deadline, you need to spend more time actually working toward reaching it. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a natural gift for attracting new friends, who are drawn to your unabashed love of what life should be all about. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

A nutritious garden in a pot

Photo by Melinda Myers, LLC

Mixing nutritious vegetables with colorful flowers and trailers that spill over the container edges creates an interesting and attractive container garden.

BY MELINDA MYERS

Don’t let a lack of time or space get in the way of gardening your way to a healthy lifestyle. Plant a container of nutritious vegetables and herbs. Include a few planters on the front porch, back patio or right outside the kitchen door. All that’s needed is some potting mix, fertilizer, plants and a container with drainage holes. A 15- to 24-inch diameter pot or 24- to 36-inch long window box is a good starting size. Bigger containers hold more plants and moisture longer, so it can be watered less frequently. Check containers daily and water thoroughly as needed. Self-watering pots need less frequent watering, allowing busy gardeners and travelers the opportunity to grow plants in pots with minimal care. Fill the container with a well-drained potting mix. Read the label on the container mix bag. Add a slow release organic nitrogen fertilizer, like Milorganite (milorganite.com), at planting for better results with less effort. It provides small amounts of nutrients throughout most of the season and eliminates the need to mix and water in fertilizer throughout the growing season. Sprinkle a bit more on the soil surface midseason or when changing out your plantings. Mix colorful flowers with nutritious vegetables for attractive, healthy results. Bright Lights Swiss Chard, pansies (their flowers are edible), colorful leaf lettuce, spinach, radishes, and trailing ivy make a great cool season combination. Fresh-from-thecontainer-garden vegetables make the best tasting salads and the greens and provide Vitamins A and C as well as calcium. Use the pansy flowers to dress up a salad or frozen in ice cubes for an added gourmet touch to beverages. For summer, use a tomato, pepper, eggplant or peas, beans and cucumbers trained on a trellis. All are packed full of nutrients and make a great vertical accent. Surround the towering vegetables with purple basil, tri-color sage, carrots, beets and a colorful trailing annual like verbena, lantana or bidens. Don’t forget to squeeze in a few onions or garlic. The fragrant foliage can be decorative and these vegetables help lower blood sugar and cholesterol, while aiding in digestion. So be creative and add a few small-scale, attractive vegetables high in nutritional value to a variety of containers this season. ABOUT THE AUTHOR
