This is a great one-stop shopping experience featuring numerous vendors. There are still openings for vendors, but space fills up fast, so come in and reserve a space today. The Community Yard Sale is an outreach of CPC giving a great venue for local families to make a few dollars at a very low cost with advertising taken care of. For just $10 per 10-foot-by-19-foot space vendors can make a great profit from many shoppers coming to one site without all the hassle. The church will be open for restrooms and drinking fountain. All proceeds from this event go to the CPC Deacons Assistance Program that serves families in need in the Rim Country with financial assistance for utilities, rent, prescriptions, and the CPC food pantry. CPC works closely with St. Vincent de Paul to offer citizens help when needed six days a week. The Yard Sale is at 800 W. Main St. (corner of Oak and Main).

TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS

SUMMER TRAVEL IDEAS

Already we are into spring, so summer is really not that far away. The other day I began to think about where people might travel this summer. The entire world is our oyster, but most of us vacation in the good old USA. The spots I have selected for this column are rather different than many selected in years past. All you will need is a fat wallet, an automobile in top running condition and financial reserves to spend at the various locations you select. Also, some of you will need money or credit cards to finance air tickets. You might consider a road trip through Alabama, Mississippi and KEN BROOKS Louisiana along the Gulf Coast. Like the famed Route 66, Route 90 is a small-road classic. It is a 1920s-era roadway that snakes along the Gulf of Mexico, through the beach towns of the Redneck Riviera, southern Mississippi and New Orleans, until it ends in the Texas desert. The best drive is on the 150mile stretch from Mobile, Ala. to New Orleans. I suggest you begin in Mobile, which looks like a low-key New Orleans as it has the same shotgun houses, but fewer bars and no one trying to be cool. Dauphin Island is a small bit of land in Mobile Bay and offers clear Gulf water and broad, white sand beaches — and all of it without crowds. You might even ask one of the seafood shops to fix a boiled-shrimp lunch for a beach picnic or check out Fort Gaines, which dates to just after the War of 1812. In late August you might even hear a cannon blast. Just relax — they are re-enacting the Battle of Mobile Bay. Gambling has turned the Mississippi Gulf Coast into mini-Las Vegas, so if you like casinos, have a try. You can drive by the old and picturesque antebellum mansions shrouded in centuries-old oaks and possibly even peak around inside if there happens to be a local home tour going on (check the Internet for dates of these events in the community you’re visiting). Stop for some gumbo or oysters. This is the best you have ever eaten. You could even opt for a camping trip on Deer or Horn Island, which are empty and wild. Fish, swim, and hope the offshore breeze keeps the heat and humidity down and the mosquitoes at bay. From the Mississippi border into New Orleans, Highway 90 dives into the Louisiana swampland. Narrow roads twist away to ramshackle fishing camps and decaying shrimper marinas. You can enjoy the marshes, hunt for alligators, take a swamp tour or just hustle toward New Orleans. All of the touristy New Orleans things such as Etouffee at Dooky Chase’s, a po’boy at Domilise’s, or jazz at Snug Harbor are still worth doing. But you might try an underground, back-alley restaurant like Pizza Delicious in the Bywater. Afterward, you could check out a “bounce party” or head to the all-vinyl “mod dance” at the nearby Sat-

urn Bar. Stay a little sober so you can find your car when the nightlife is over. If you choose to fly, the Mobile Regional Airport is only 20 minutes from U.S. Route 90. On Dauphin Island Skinner’s Seafood has fresh-caught crab and shrimp. You could go east into Florida where you will find much to do around the Palm Beach area. It is probably best known as the millionaires’ hangout. Driving up the coast route from Fort Lauderdale or Miami you will find this jewel. There are many large mansions that face the sea and the town itself is really nice. There are upscale hotels and resorts nearby. The beaches here are tops. Some of the things to see include Clematis Street known for its high-end shops and is fun to browse the area. There are fine candy and ice cream shops to stop in and enjoy the flavors. Lion Country Safari is about a half hour away and don’t pass up the Norton Museum of Art. Wonderful paintings and sculpture are here. The Okeeheelee Nature Center is not far away and near the airport. You will enjoy the displays and live exhibits. You can also visit the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts as well as CityPlace, which are hubs for evening activity. The Palm Beach Zoo at Dreher Park should be included in the visit. It’s not large, but worth your time. The Intracoastal Waterway is close and interesting. Having just visited Miami a few weeks ago I was flabbergasted at all the new highrise buildings. The city has been cleaned up

and looks wonderful. Miami Beach is just across the causeway and it is now a wonderful vacation spot. The beaches here are wonderful and the old ’30s, ’40s and ’50s art deco hotels have been restored and are beautiful again. Also here are ﬁne shops, bars and hotels to please. You could stay in Miami Beach for a week and fully enjoy the atmosphere with sun and water. A few Americans are visiting Cuba on a people to people basis. You reside in rather poor hotels and visit poor cities and towns. The food isn’t very good either. You ride in old buses. If you are very well traveled, this island may be of interest to you. Recently the State Department imposed new rules on such visits. Contact an agency that can book you. Just type in Cuba tours. Another idea — visit Rapid City, S.D. which is centrally located to several area national parks, monuments and historical sites. Only 25 minutes from the heart of downtown Rapid City, visitors can explore Mount Rushmore. You’ll discover two of the national caves or explore the mysteries of the Badlands National Park and Minuteman Missile National Historic Site all located within an hour of Rapid City. Mount Rushmore is our nation’s shrine of democracy. Visitors see the granite faces of four presidents. You can also walk to the sculptor’s studio. The Badlands National Park is 244,000 acres of unique rock formations, sharply eroded buttes and jagged and colorful spires. The Badlands is shrouded in ancient

mystery and timeless beauty and are located just 50 miles east of Rapid City. Nearby is the Wind Cave, which is one of our nation’s oldest national parks. It is located only 65 miles from Rapid City. It showcases the beauty above and below the surface of the Black Hills and is the fifth longest cave known in the world. The Jewel Cave National Monument is 52 miles from Rapid City. You will see thousands of dazzling calcite crystals that decorate the walls of the cave. Just 107 miles west of Rapid City in the Wyoming Black Hills is Devils Tower National Park. It appears to be made by a Hollywood factory. It bluntly rises up from the level ground around and is like a large spire. A memorial is being constructed and when finished it will stand 563 feet. Custer State Park claims 71,000 acres and is the home of bison. The herds are many and it’s a thrill to see them live. How about visiting some of the most secret islands on earth? The movie “Mamma Mia!” was filmed in Greece on the island of Skopelos. You get there by ferry and it’s located in the shimmering Aegean Sea. It is comprised of tileroofed bungalows and what look like the huts found in Tahiti. High-end resorts have been popping up across Southeast Asia where many islands are vying to be the next Phuket. One area is Con Dao, which is 110 miles off Vietnam’s southwest coast. Sheer granite cliffs border deserted beaches and crystal-blue water and a private guide can lead you by motorbike to remote spots like the spectacular Dam Tre Bay lagoon for swimming. If you are a diving enthusiast consider the secret island of Mabut, off the northeastern coast of Malaysia where the marine life is on a par with the Galapagos. You will find native sea moths, bobtail squids and paintpot cuttlefish. Not quite as far as Southeast Asia, Lake Nicaragua is home to the Casitas at Jacaro. Here are nine cabins available for rent. All food is locally sourced and you can sip passion-fruit-banana cocktails as you sit by the infinity pool. Closer to home is Washington State’s Lummi Island, which is a nine-square-mile haven of rest and relaxation. It is located in the Puget Sound and here you can catch salmon, spot prawns and watch Orcas ply the waters. Would you like to spend a vacation on a working farm? You can do so by going to the Web and finding farm vacations. You can also think about staying on a farm in Hawaii. Go to the Web and you can find the proper site for this. Contact Farm Tours and they will send you information to discuss with your family. Do you think you might want to spend some time in a castle in Spain? Contact an agent at www.CasaRuralLosAdelfasde Oliveite. If swapping homes in Canada is of interest, you can find that on the Web also. I will offer more travel ideas for summer soon. Have fun hunting for the right vacation for you.

RIM HISTORY RIM HISTORY RIM COUNTRY HISTORY | TIM EHRHARDT

VIEWS IN RIM COUNTRY BREATHTAKING THROUGH AGES It seems to lurk around each corner in town. It is a soothing presence that after awhile, we get used to and spoiled by. What I am referring to is the incredible views and scenery that we enjoy on a daily basis. Things like the Rim and the Mazatzals and the many small hills in between are constantly there with all of their greenery and beauty. Let’s look at how those in years gone by have viewed them. “For the benefit of those who have not seen it, I may say that Green Valley and the country surrounding it is emphatically beautiful and not surpassed by any yet discovered in the Territory.” — The Weekly Arizona Miner, Sept. 26, 1868 This is the first clip that I can find that mentions the beauty of the area. This was written when the military post at Camp Reno was active in Tonto Basin. The possibility of a military post in what is now the Payson area was being explored when this was written. “From the summit of Reno hill, before one starts to roll down with the stones and rocks that his horse loosens at every step, the traveller is afforded a magnificent view of Tonto Basin, and as far as the eye can reach he gazes over a circular range which

takes in the lower land. At every ridges, and dark lines I knew to be turn in the Canyon the river canyons.

This little garden spot in a narrow canyon, rocky and steep, seems almost too real to be true when seen from the canyon wall on the way down. The bridge is not visible, however. The five acres of corn seen to the south are growing on top of the natural bridge.” — The Arizona Republic, July 16, 1939 Is there a prettier spot than the Tonto Natural Bridge? The area where Zane Grey had his cabin and a small handful of other remote places may top it, but not by much. We truly live in a beautiful place. Over the decades people have come to the region, fallen in love with it, and then tried to find a way to make it possible to make their home here. Looking back reminds us of the wonderful things that this area has to offer.

Russell Crowe provides us with one of his best performances ever as a Roman general betrayed by his emperor, played with slimy paranoia by Joaquin Phoenix. Richard Harris and Oliver Reed also appear. This is an outstanding ﬁlm in all respects. The staging of the brief battle scene is magniﬁcent and the gladiatorial contests

in the Coliseum are very well choreographed. Another classic is “Ben Hur,” which crosses genres from religious epic to sword and sandal epic and succeeds in both realms. The 1959 ﬁlm is based on the famous novel, penned by an American Civil War Union ofﬁcer. Charlton Heston stars in the

Roundup file photos

Anglers of all ages and skill levels will be tromping into Green Valley Park from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday, March 29 for the annual Optimist Club Fishing Festival. The event is made possible by all manner of agencies, organizations and generous individuals — and it’s free to participate and no license is needed.

A REEL GOOD TIME Optimist Club’s 2014 Fishing Festival welcomes season The forecast is for 71 degrees and partly cloudy, with a 10 percent chance of rain. But, that’s a whole 72 hours from now, and we all know how the weather can change in spring. So, just be prepared for whatever might blow our way Saturday, March 29 and plan to get out and enjoy the Eighth Annual Fishing Festival from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Green Valley Park. Presented by the Rim Country Optimist Club, no matter what the weather, it’s always a great family day for all ages. Registration is free and a fishing license is not required. Poles and bait will be available for those who don’t have their own equipment. The festival is a cooperative effort by the Rim Country Optimists, Payson Parks and Recreation, Arizona Game and Fish, Payson Fly Casters, Scoops, Fred the DJ, and Payson Rotary

Club Foundation. Rotary will again provide hamburgers, hot dogs, drinks and more. Additionally, Northern Energy will bring Frisbees for all the kids. The event also includes a silent auction and raffle. Among the prizes: a fishing trip; two sets of four Diamondbacks tickets — these are seats behind the dugout; a robot; gift certificates for restaurants, fun things to do and places to go; fishing items; and a variety of other items are available. There will be a range of baskets and individual items from scrapbooking to a North River hunting shirt among the silent auction offerings. Even if you don’t fish, it is worth stopping by to see what’s going on and checking out to see if there is something on which you want to bid. The Rim Country Optimist Club requests that anyone who wishes to donate a raffle or silent auction item to support this all-community event or who wishes to purchase raffle tickets (you don’t need to be present to win) contact Jim Tye, (928) 468-2453 or Joan Young, (928) 472-2264.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A suggestion from a colleague on how to work out a problem might not sit too well with you. But before you suspect his or her motives, why not just accept it as a friendly gesture? TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) An associate might seek your counsel on a workplace dispute with another co-worker. Listen to what she or he has to say, but withhold advice until you’ve heard the other side of the story. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Use your Twin gifts for creativity and practicality to score points in landing an opportunity that could open doors to a new career. Someone returns after a long absence. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Although things are pretty hectic through much of the week, some quiet time with loved ones helps restore balance. An unexpected visitor brings welcome news about a mutual friend. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Getting used to change isn’t always easy for the Big Cat. But make the adjustments gradually, and soon you’ll hardly remember when things were any different from how they are now. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Continue to stay the course you’ve chosen, and avoid distractions that could throw you off track. Some knowledgeable folks are happy to provide guidance if you need it. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Although you earned plaudits from most co-workers for your recent stand on a workplace situation, you also raised the envy quotient among others. Tread carefully for now. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You feel more positive about that delayed project, and you’re ready to pick it up on a moment’s notice. However, you might need to re-motivate those who have since lost interest. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Some welcome news should be coming your way. In the meantime, use that Sagittarius charm to persuade some still-reluctant colleagues that your ideas have merit. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Don’t wait for a misunderstanding to work itself out. Instead, ask for a chance to explain the circumstances before those bruised feelings lead to an irreversible break. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) A physical problem should be checked out in order to avoid it going from just being a nuisance to something more serious. Your social life takes an unexpected but not unwelcome turn. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Yours might be the wisest sign in the Zodiac. But you still could benefit from the wisdom of a close friend who has suggestions on how to handle a perplexing personal problem. BORN THIS WEEK: Your passion for doing the right thing inspires others to follow your well-trodden path toward justice. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

RIM REVIEW • MARCH 26, 2014

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My 13-year-old son went to band camp for five days. On day three, he had terrific stomach pain and started to vomit. The instructors were alarmed and took him to the local hospital, where doctors diagnosed appendicitis. We had to give phone permission for him to have an operation. Everything went fine, and he recovered quickly. My wife and I have a few questions. Could he have eaten something that caused appendicitis? What does not having an appendix do to people? No one in my wife’s or my family has had such an operation. We’re ignorant about all this. — G.G. ANSWER: The appendix dangles from the first part of the colon in the lower-right side of the abdomen. It looks like a slender worm, and has an average length of 3 inches (8 cm). The function of the appendix isn’t clearly defined, but it might have a role in body immunity. Life without an appendix goes on as normally as life with one. The appendix has a hollow core, which is lined with lymphoid tissue, the same kind of tissue found in lymph nodes. Bacteria from the colon can invade the hollow core and cause the lymph tissue to swell. Swelling cuts off blood supply, and the appendix begins to disintegrate — appendicitis. Undigested food or hard fecal material also can block the appendix’s core and lead to the same situation. Nothing your son ate is likely the cause. All the other campers ate the same food as he, but he was the only one to develop this problem. The pain of appendicitis most often starts in the area of the navel (bellybutton) and works its way toward the lower-right corner of the abdomen. Temperature rises. Vomiting is common, and sometimes diarrhea is part of the picture. A doctor, by what he or she hears from the patient, along with the examination of the abdomen, usually can make the diagnosis. In confusing circumstances, an ultrasound is most helpful. Millions of people worldwide live without an appendix. They do quite well. So will your son. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: When I was about 10 years old, I got the mumps. Now I am 30 and have been married for three years. My wife and I want to have a family, but we aren’t having any luck. Do you think the mumps made me infertile? — J.Z. ANSWER: In around 40 percent of men who get the mumps after puberty, the virus also travels to the testicles. That results in impaired fertility in only 13 percent. Sterility almost never happens. If both testicles are infected, then sterility might be a problem. Before puberty, testicular involvement is rare, and infertility isn’t a problem. You were only 10. It’s highly unlikely that the mumps caused you to be infertile. You and your wife shouldn’t have to handle this problem on your own. Why not consult a doctor so both of you can be examined? An answer to the question why you aren’t having the family you want will be found, and a solution, if possible, will be suggested. Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.
