TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS

BEST BEACHES FOR 2013 Perhaps you have your favorite beach and possibly I have mine, but there are many beaches around us that may interest you. Being in Arizona, we are many miles from the Pacific Ocean, but just a day’s drive gives us a selection of fine California locations. The San Diego area has some 70 miles of wonderful waves and sand. La Jolla Shores is one of the best in Southern California. Coronado’s beaches stretch 1-1/2 miles with fine homes in the background and the famed Coronado Hotel, which is more than 100 years old now. The water along the Pacific is not warm as that in Florida, so you may want a wet suit. North of San Diego are the fine beaches in Carlsbad and Oceanside and further north in the KEN BROOKS Los Angeles area is Laguna Beach, one of Orange County’s most fashionable towns, which is also culturally rich. Newport Beach is for the jet-setter contingent, with fine docking space for the zillion dollar yachts that spend summers there. Here, the trendy surfing set hangs out as well as the sunbathers. All along the coast are affordable motels and hotels as well as high-end spas and resorts. Hermosa Beach takes pride in its abundance of outdoor beach activities that include surfing and swimming. Bike riding is popular as well as roller skating, jogging and strolling. At night, the Strand is a great people-watching spot. Catalina Island is located 22 miles off the Southern California coast and you may take water taxis there from Long Beach and Los Angeles harbors. This is a small island with a myriad of outdoor activities in and around the town of Avalon. There is a fine beach facing the town, which is convenient. There are a couple nice restaurants that feature seafood and several bars. You’ll find small motels and a couple hotels for overnight stays. You can see the underwater gardens from a glass-bottom boat, do some deep-sea fishing and go horseback riding along the shoreline and mountain paths. Bordering Los Angeles is Venice Beach, which attracts all kinds of people. Surfers, preening weightlifters, sand sculptors, an Ocean Front Walk, stores and a flea market and bars and fast-food spots. Just north of here is Santa Monica where there is never a shortage of seaside fun. You have the Santa Monica pier at the boardwalk, short order restaurants, surfing, and an assortment of stores and bars. A lot of fun can be had in and around Santa Monica. Inland a few miles from here are Beverly Hills, West Hollywood and Hollywood. You can see movie stars all over the place if you look hard. The ladies won’t be wearing makeup and the guys usually look 10 to 20 years older than they appear in the movies. Malibu Beach is another place where your chances are also good to see the movie crowd, although you may not recognize

them at first. It’s just north of Santa Monica. Further north of Los Angeles is Santa Barbara and the beginning of the Central California Coast. There is good swimming from here up to Avila and Pismo Beach and usually good waves for surfing. Be aware, the water is cold! At the other end of the United States is Florida. Many rave about the fine sands on the beach at Siesta Key, which is central Sarasota’s gateway to the sparkling waters of the Gulf and also boasts fine resorts. You have a large swath of public beach along this 8-mile barrier reef island. Close by are numerous restaurants and pubs, docks for yachts, stores and all kinds of beach fun. You can rent pontoon boats, try parasailing and do some snorkeling. Clearwater Beach, Fla. is a great beach town with miles of fine, white sand and it is often voted number one in the nation, but so are several others. Key West in the Florida Keys is a popular vacation spot and the town is most interesting with good lodging. In fact, all over Florida there are wonderful beaches for you to explore. You might rent a car in Orlando, see the fun parks such as Disneyworld and then check out beaches along both the east and west coasts. There are also many interesting communities around the state. Virginia’s Assateague National Seashore on Assateague Island, where wild ponies roam, is rated 7 in one survey. You may wish to investigate this location. Mexico has some good beaches. Cancun offers some of the finest in the country. The resort city was created several decades ago to cater to an up-scale clientele from around the world. There is much to do here any time of day or night. The resort hotels are some of the finest anywhere. Good air service from the States to Cancun is also a benefit. An all-inclusive resort may be your best buy. The highest rated beach this year is on Hawaii’s fine island of Maui. Kaanapali Beach at Lahaina was the number one pick of the experts. Other top Hawaii beaches are: Lanikal Beach; Kailua on Ohau; Wailea Beach, Wailea; and Hanauma Bay near Honolulu, Oahu; Poipu Park Beach, Kauai; Manini’owali Beach, Kailua; Big Island, Wai’anapanapa State Park and Hana, Maui; Hanalei Beach, Kauai. Waikiki Beach at Honolulu is not bad if you can stand the crowds of tourists. Overseas some of the top-rated spots for sand and sun are: Rabbit Beach, Lampedusa, Italy; Brace Bay in the Turks and Caicos; Whitehaven Beach and Airlie Beach, Australia; Bahia do Sancho, Fernando de Noronha, Brazil; Blamenco Beach, Culebra, Puerto Rico; Playa de las Catedrales, Ribadel, Spain; Horseshoe Bay Beach, Bermuda; Eagle Beach, Aruba; and Rhossili Bay, Swansea, Wales. I also like the several beaches at St. Johns, Virgin Islands. You will find good beaches all over the Caribbean area and they are there for the picking. Wherever you go, be sure to take plenty of sun block, dark glasses, bathing suit and hat. They will be necessary on any beach.

RIM HISTORY RIM HISTORY RIM COUNTRY HISTORY | TIM EHRHARDT

EARLY PAYSON MINING HISTORY In the 1870s folks were starting to come into Tonto Basin and what we now call Rim Country. There were the cattlemen, who saw green grass and plenty of open space. There were also the mining men, who came in search of a big strike that would make them rich. Arizona had seen its fair share of mining activity by the late 1870s. Southern Arizona had some major finds in the 1860s and early 1870s and the Vulture Mine in Wickenburg was TIM EHRHARDT found in 1863. Finds in the area of Jerome in 1876 opened the door further to mining activity in the state. The early miners in this area were a hearty bunch. There was no guarantee of gold and silver and the area was a very rough and dangerous place with the threat of Indian attacks always looming. The possibility of minerals was described by U.S. troops that had been in the area before. The occasional traveler who had come through the area gradually put the word out. The April 30, 1875 Weekly Arizona Miner newspaper in Prescott relays what William Clarke had found when traveling through the area. “Mr. Clarke did not prospect for gold but saw good indications on the streams and has been informed by others that gold has

been found there. The formation of the hills is decomposed granite, slate and large veins of white quartz. Iron ore in quite a pure state is also found in leads in the foothills, where the gold is believed to exist.” A little over a year later in the June 15, 1877 Weekly Arizona Miner, the first strike in the area was reported. “Four miles from Green Valley has been discovered a large gold ledge, assaying into the thousands, which is causing much excitement. The assayer from the Globe district, accompanied by others, are now at the new discovery, testing the ore and making locations.” In November the discoveries were getting hyped in the Weekly Arizona Miner. “Recent discoveries in Tonto Basin are of a character to warrant us in the assertion that soon will be seen another mining camp spring up in that section which will equal the “New Jerusalem” of the Big Sandy and McCrackin country.” (November 9, 1877 Weekly Arizona Miner) Miners in search of fortune quickly flocked to the area. Who were the first ones to claim mines in the area? Based on recorded claim date, Irvin Monroe House and some others were the first, with the Golden Waif, State, and Lyda True mines being recorded on May 23, 1877. The Golden Waif sits in the shadow of the Mazatzals southwest of Payson. Edward O’Dougherty was next, recording the Tonto mine on July 7, 1877. Surely though, there were other early min-

ers who combed the region in search of riches. Over the next few years the area received many more miners. The September 6, 1879 Arizona Sentinel carried the following article about discoveries in the area. “By the Phoenix Herald we see that rich discoveries of gold have been made in Delshaw or Delshay Basin by Judge DeForest Porter and William Burch. “They first found rich float and following it up found the ledge and located several claims, the principal claim is called the Excursion, the others are the Orleans, Albion, E.K. Hart, Quien Sabe, Lockport and the Edwin. “A force of men was at once put at work on the Excursion, and a cut run tapping the ledge at a depth of four feet. About 500 tons is the amount calculated as in sight average from one to two hundred dollars per ton. The lead is of white quartz and thirty one inches wide, widening at the bottom of the cut. The vein of the Lockport is from six to eight inches in width, the Orleans eight, Albion eleven, the E.K. Hart thirteen, the Edwin thirteen and the Quien Sabe seven. “Mr. L.P. Nash has several claims and intends putting up an arrastra to work them. Men who have worked in the Vulture in its malmiest days pronounce it insignificant beside the large, well defined ledge of the Excursion. The Judge is also interested with C.M. Clark in several good locations in

the Sierra Ancha Mountains. “The grade from Porter’s mines to their mill site on the East Verde, five miles distant, is an easy one over which a wagon road can be built at comparatively small cost. “Judge Porter and Wm. Burch also rediscovered the old and much hunted for, Joe Green mine, this eighteen inches wide and is in it self a fortune. “We congratulate the Judge on his good fortune and trust soon to see him rolling in opulence.” Judge Deforest Porter was one of three Arizona Territory Supreme Court justices and would later become Mayor of Phoenix. William Burch in many respects was a founding father of Payson, an early rancher who also dabbled in mines and was well respected. Mining in the area continued to pick up into the 1880s and the town of Marysville was formed west of today’s Payson. This boomtown was said to have had more than 300 residents at one point before going bust. While the early 1880s showed great promise, things quieted down by the end of the decade. Irvin Monroe House was one who stayed around, living in the area for nearly 40 years before moving to Mesa, but he was the exception rather than the rule. Most of the early miners moved on in search of greater success. Meanwhile, mining activity has continued in the area with varying degrees of success.

SENIOR NEWS LINE | MATILDA CHARLES

Fighting back against scammers Seniors are the biggest target of scammers, and their most common method of contacting us is the telephone. We need to beware. You know all your routines, and if something new comes up, be suspicious. If the “bank” calls and wants to talk about your account, hang up and call them back to be sure you’re really talking to your bank and not a scammer. The same goes if “Medicare” or “Social Security” calls you and asks for personal information, or if the “electric company” says your power will be

cut off if you don’t make a payment over the phone. Don’t be fooled. They’re not likely to call you on the phone. Two of your biggest weapons against scammers: Caller ID on your phone and a shredder. By knowing who’s calling before you even answer the phone, you can protect yourself against aggressive thieves. And with a shredder you can destroy any mail or documents that have your name on them before they go in the trash. Remember the “granny scam,” where someone posing as a grandchild calls up

and says he or she is in trouble and needs emergency money? Far too many grandparents have fallen for that scam and wired money to thieves. One state is now making it a law that companies who do the wire transfers notify the sender about where the money is actually ending up. Call your state senators and representatives and suggest that this be a law in your state as well. If you’re near a senior center, ask it to put together a program to tell seniors about scams and how to handle those who call and pressure you about giving personal infor-

mation on the phone. If you’re ever in doubt about who’s calling you and asking for information, hang up. Matilda Charles regrets that she cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into her column whenever possible. Write to her in care of King Features Weekly Service, P.O.

Garden groupies Community Garden open It took off like the weeds greening up the countryside. With a little more than a month’s planning, volunteers and donors gave root to the inaugural Payson Community Garden last spring. And it is coming back for a second year this month. The Rim Country’s changeable March weather postponed the March 9 opening of the Payson Community Garden to Saturday, March 16. The goal for the original garden, and this year’s edition, is three-fold: supplement the food banks with fresh produce; inspire residents to start their own gardens at home; and cultivate community spirit. The goal of helping local food banks was a smashing success; once the plants started producing, organizers were able to provide bountiful harvests twice a week. The garden site is next to the Church of the Nazarene on Tyler Parkway. Prior to the opening on March 16, only 50, 6-feet-by-25-feet plots, out of 165 on the site, were still available for $60. Soil, water, security and advice are included in that price, however, the water will not be turned on until April to avoid the risk of freezing the pipes. Organizers have a limited number of tools and equipment to loan to participants, but they recommend they bring their own tools and they must supply

their own seeds and/or seedlings. New this year, are a limited number of beds elevated high enough to be accessed by wheelchair-bound participants. The elevated beds are the work of Payson High School students in Career and Technology Preparation classes under the direction of Richard Alvarez. Classes planned to help garden participants make the most of their plots will be offered at 8 a.m. every Saturday at the garden, or if there is threatening weather, inside the Church of the Nazarene. Garden organizers have worked with the University of Arizona Extension Service representative Chris Jones and Glen McCombs, owner of Plant Fair Nursery in Star Valley, to provide a complete set of courses for the beginning gardeners. Starting in April, the garden will be open weekdays from 5 p.m. until dark and from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays and closed Sundays. Also in April, organizers will be asking for garden monitors to sign up. CLASSES

Five easy steps to low maintenance, eco-friendly landscape Gardening expert Melinda Myers provides a plan to transform your landscape It’s possible to create a beautiful landscape and be kind to the environment even with a busy schedule and staying within budget. “All it takes is a bit of planning and a few low maintenance strategies,” says gardening expert and author Melinda Myers. Myers recommends these five strategies to create a low maintenance ecofriendly landscape this season. • Be Waterwise — Save money on the water bill, time spent watering and this precious resource, water. Start by growing drought-tolerant plants suited to your growing environment. Once established, they will only need watering during extended dry spells. • Mulch with shredded leaves, evergreen needles, woodchips or other organic matter to conserve moisture, reduce weeds and improve the soil as they decompose. • Fertilize with a low nitrogen fertilizer that promotes slow steady growth instead of excessive greenery that requires more water. Plus, it won’t burn even during drought.

• Put rainwater to work all season long by using rain barrels to capture rainwater off your roof or directly from the sky. • Recycle Yard Waste — Minimize the amount of yard waste produced, reuse what you can in other areas of the landscape and recycle the rest as compost. These are just a few strategies that will save time bagging, hauling and disposing of yard debris. And better yet, implementing this strategy will save money and time spent buying and transporting soil amendments, since it will be created right in the back yard. Start by leaving grass clippings on the lawn. The short clippings break down quickly, adding organic matter, nutrients and moisture to the soil. Grow trees suited to the growing conditions and available space. That means less pruning and fewer trimmings that will need to be managed. Make compost at home. Recycle yard waste into compost. Put plant waste into a heap and let it rot. Yes, it really is that simple. The more effort put into the process, the quicker the results. Do not add insect-infested or diseased plant material or perennial weeds like quack grass, annual weeds gone to seed, or invasive plants. Most compost piles are not hot enough to kill these pests. And do not add meat, dairy or bones that can attract rodents.

Manage pests in harmony with nature. A healthy plant is the best defense against insects and disease. Select the most pest-resistant plants suited to the growing conditions and provide proper care. Check plants regularly throughout the growing season. It is easier to control a few insects than the hundreds that can develop in a week or two. And when problems arise, look for the most eco-friendly control. Start by removing small infestations by hand. Consider traps, barriers, and natural products if further control is needed. And as always be sure to read and follow label directions carefully. Energy wise landscape design — Use landscape plantings to keep homes warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. Homes will have a more comfortable temperature throughout the seasons and energy costs will be reduced. Plant trees on the east and west side of a house to shade windows in the summer and let the sun shine in and warm it up through the south-facing windows in winter. Shade air conditioners, so they run more efficiently and be sure to collect and use any water they produce for container gardens. Incorporate these changes into gardening routines and habits over time. Soon these and many more strategies

that help save time and money while being kind to the environment will seem to occur automatically. ABOUT THE AUTHOR

• If you dread trying (and too often failing) to pair up socks on laundry day, you’ll be glad to know that your anguish is not unrecognized: May 9 has been designated National Lost Sock Memorial Day. • Progress is not always universally embraced. In 1825, a magazine called The Quarterly Review scoffed, “What can be more palpably absurd than the prospect held out of locomotives traveling twice as fast as stagecoaches?” • If in your studies of history you never ran across the Anglo-Zanzibar War, don’t feel educationally shortchanged; most people have never heard of the

conﬂict. In 1896, the pro-British sultan of Zanzibar, Hamad bin Thuwaini, died, and his successor, Khalid bin Barghash, did not look as favorably upon the British Empire. Because a treaty signed 10 years earlier stated that any candidate to attain the sultancy must receive the approval of the British Consul, the British viewed Kalid bin Barghash’s accession as an act of war. The sultan barricaded himself in his palace, but the superior numbers and ﬁrepower of the British quickly defeated the embattled sultan. How quickly? The battle lasted all of 40 minutes, making it the shortest war in history.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

Remote link between heartburn, cancer BY PAUL G. DONOHUE, M.D. 2013 NORTH AMERICA SYND., INC.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have had heartburn for many years. I take Prilosec for it, and it works fine for me. My doctor scheduled me for a gastroscope exam. I haven’t had one for quite a while. The doctor who did the scope called me and my family doctor to say that I had changes seen in the biopsy he took. He says I have Barrett’s esophagus, which can turn into cancer. Naturally, this has me worried. Will you elaborate on Barrett’s esophagus and what I have to look forward to? Neither of my doctors has suggested a change in medicines. Do you? — T.M. ANSWER: Barrett’s esophagus is a change in the kind of cells that line the lowermost part of the esophagus, the part that attaches to the stomach. That change brings with it a chance of further, cancer changes. The risk is quite small, about 0.5 percent per year. Barrett’s esophagus happens to people who have GERD, gastroesophageal reflux disease, more popularly called heartburn. You take a medicine, Prilosec, that suppresses the production of stomach acid. Medicines that act similarly sometimes can retard the progression of these cell changes into cancer cells. They most definitely control heartburn. Barrett’s also can happen to people who do not have GERD. The chance of cancer developing depends on a number of criteria. One is the kind of cells that have evolved. If they show low-grade changes, the likelihood of cancer is not as great as it would be if they show high-grade changes. The length of the area involved with these changes is another factor in determining the cancer risk. You must not have had signs that raise the risk for cancer, or the doctor would have recommended immediate treatment. About the only thing you need to do is comply with the suggested follow-up scope exams so the doctor can see if any procedures are needed to eradicate these new cells. You don’t have to sit around and worry. You have not received a death sentence. The booklet on GERD (heartburn) explains this common disorder and its treatments. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue — No. 501W, 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: At a recent cocktail party, a nurse admonished me for chewing ice. She said that it indicates an iron deficiency. I get blood work done every six months. My doctor has never said anything about an iron deficiency or any other issue. I am 65 and in good health. — C.H. ANSWER: The nurse was talking about pica. It’s a craving for materials not considered foods, like ice, clay, starch and dirt, to mention a few. Sometimes it is an indication of iron deficiency, but far from always. In someone like you, who has lab tests done twice a year, you’re not anemic and don’t have pica. You do, however, have a habit that will ruin your teeth if you don’t stop. Chewing on ice can cause microscopic fractures in tooth enamel, which can become larger fractures. 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.
