COUCH THEATER | SAM STRUCKHOFF

DVD previews PICKS OF THE WEEK “The Iron Lady” (PG-13) — Meryl Streep pulls a full-force Streep-a-thon in this scattershot biopic about Margaret Thatcher, England’s controversial conservative prime minister. Framed by the quasi-coherent mutterings of the elderly Thatcher in her late-life mental decline, the film shows a highlight reel of Thatcher’s life and career. This flick managed to rake in another Oscar for the Meryl Streep as veteran actress, but that Margaret Thatcher about sums up the appeal. Those unfamiliar with Thatcher’s bumpy political career won’t get much enlightenment from the muddled narrative. If the Academy Award brought this film to your attention, then you pretty much know everything about it you need to know: Streep is a good actress, even when she’s in a boring and obscure movie.

TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS

Fishing and camping vacations Now that spring has arrived, with winter behind us, we begin to think of escapes to the mountains and valleys for old-fashioned fishing and camping. Pack the tent in the trailer or truck and gather our fishing gear with all the equipment we think we will require and head out of town. I think almost every serious camper and fisherman has their favorite places they select from. Many folks in Arizona choose a location within the state. Arizona does have a rather large set of choices. What kind of fish are you going after? Perhaps rainbow, brook or brown trout. Arizona enjoys large lakes and rivers as well as the small streams, brooks and lakes. Are you the type of camper KEN BROOKS that strikes out on your own to settle down near wildlife and rugged country or, do you choose a nice campground so you can be near some conveniences and other people? Some folks choose Lake Powell and rent a boat for the fishing. Others may visit Lake Havasu, while more will pick a spot on the Colorado River. Sinkhole Campground, in central Arizona’s Sitgreaves National Forest, sits on Willow Springs Lake, east of Payson on Highway 260 atop the Mogollon Rim. The lake is well stocked with rainbow trout and largemouth bass. The campground has 26 campsites with picnic tables, grills and fire rings, but no hookups. Campsites are all paved and nestled among ponderosa pines. You will find hiking and biking trails. It is managed by the National Forest Service. Phone (928) 333-4301. Lake Powell straddles the Arizona-Utah border and is the country’s second-largest man-made reservoir. It is loaded with walleye. Wahweap RV campground, on the southern shore of the lake, is a great base camp for fishing. You will find 139 campsites with full hookups, ideal for RVs, and 113 campsites and six group sites with no hookups. The campground features restrooms, a laundry, showers, a lounge and swimming pool with hot tub. Phone (888) 896-3829 for more information. Lees Ferry, in the heart of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area is a large

fishery along the Colorado, Lake Powell outflow at Glen Canyon Dam. Fly-fishing is the sport of choice at Lees Ferry campground as it sits right along the river. The campground includes bathrooms. Phone (928) 608-6200. The Aspen Campground is rather tiny with only six campsites and close to the East Fork of the Black River, which is filled with rainbow trout as well as some other types of fish. Phone (928) 333-4301. There are several sites available on the web to get detailed information at: toptencampgrounds.com, leesferry.com, powellguide.com to name a few. And check out campgrounds + Arizona state parks for more information. Near the Utah border is Monument Valley which is great for the entire family. So much recreation and fun is here for all. Some will tell you Arizona camping is best south of Flagstaff. You be the judge. The forest service urges everyone to practice campfire safety. Be sure to clear all flammable material away from the fire for a minimum of five feet in all directions; have a responsible person in attendance at all times, never leave a campfire unattended, avoid making a fire during the windy part of the day and finally, be sure to have a shovel and sufficient water to put it out. A few campgrounds you may wish to check out include the Kingman area for Burro Creek, Wild Cow Springs and Windy Point Recreation Sites. Lake Havasu offers Crossroads Campground and Bullfrog, Bass Point and Quail Hollow Day use areas. Around Safford there is Hot Well Dunes Recreation Area. At Tucson, St. David Cieneaga/Land Corral, Fairbank Historic Townsite, San Pedro House and Hereford Bridge Trailheads. Yuma has Squaw Lake Campground and Boat Launch, Senator Wash Boat Ramp and Senator Wash North, South Shore Campgrounds, Betty’s Kitchen Watchable Wildlife Area and the Ehrenberg Sandbowl off-highway vehicle area. Don’t forget the lovely areas not far from Payson. Some would include the Mormon Lake district with Ashurst Lake Campground, Forked Pine, Canyon Vista, Dairy Springs, Double Springs, Kinnikinick, Lakeview and Pinegrove. The bar and restaurant at the Mormon Lake Village is popular Friday and Saturday nights plus

they offer a small general store next door. Remember, no one is allowed to reserve a campsite by parking a vehicle, placing a tent or other personal property on forest land in advance of occupying the site. This is a no-no. When considering where to visit, also check out the White Mountains, the North Central Region, the Mogollon Rim, the Colorado River, Southeastern and Southwestern Arizona. What should you include in your check list of camping and fishing needs? For fishing, consider taking your rods, tackle boxes, depthfinder, charger, cords, map, sunglasses, caps, gloves and sunscreen. For sleeping, you need the sleeping bags, pillows, heater or fan, flashlight, radio, lights, cords and a 3-way plug. Under food, leave a lot of blank space for specific items but would include cokes, coffee, cream, sugar, salt, pepper and lunch sack. And, remember the potatoes, onions, bread, catsup and what ever else you may require in the boonies. Do you want to take steaks, lunch meat, mayo and juices? Don’t forget paper plates, napkins, plastic utensils, tongs, and stove, serving spoons, paper towels, dishpan, soap, water jugs and thermos jugs. For clothing, take warm pants, shirts, sweaters, heavy shoes and boots, socks and a warm coat. Carry several extras, also. You will also need to take a medicine bag

with first aid needs as well as band-aids, and prescription drugs. For some, the most desired fishing trip in one’s life is to Alaska.

These companies can sell you many wildlife adventures in “the big state.” You can arrange for two days out-back to five and more days in the wilds. You can purchase Fly-out fishing, Drift Boat Fishing, Halibut Fishing on Cook Inlet where you have a good chance to hook a 100- to 300-pounder, engage in salt water Salmon Trolling or do small stream fishing with a fly or use bait. They say this is an exciting way to land a king or silver. You can also secure rental of private cottages. One company that can arrange the entire Alaska adventure for you is Soaring Eagle Fishing & Adventure. Vacation packages with airfare and car are priced on activities selected and run from $2,500 to $3,800 per person. Phone 1-877-567-3273 for more information. Camping in and near our National Parks is always fun for the entire family. The High Sierras in California, Yellowstone, The Grand Tetons and don’t forget the Canadian Rockies. What can be better than the freedom of the outdoors, good air and clean water. Perhaps soon you will be “On the Road Again.”

Upcoming studio tour will feature more than 20 artists BY TERESA MCQUERREY RIM REVIEW EDITOR

The 2012 Payson Art League ’Neath the Rim Open Studio Tour will give participants a look into the heart of art in the Rim Country. More than 20 artists will be sharing their space and work on the tour, which will be May 4, 5 and 6. This week we are profiling April Bower, Evelyn Christian, George Lewis, Jan Ransom and Pat Sessions. APRIL BOWER

Starting silversmithing in art school, Bower later taught classes in silver work and lost wax casting, then went on to work in fine jewelry for many years. She later started a business with her partner and husband creating copper fountains. Learning a lot along the way and always trying something new, a two-dimensional art form was developed using the chemicals that colored the metal of the fountains. Used like watercolors, her other passion, resulted in “Patina Paintings” done on copper sheets. Along with these “Patina Paintings,” Bower is currently featuring copper, silver and mokume gane jewelry in a contemporary style.

Evelyn Christian

April Bower

EVELYN CHRISTIAN

Christian minored in art and taught acrylic painting for 10 years at Grossmont Adult School in San Diego, Calif. She retired to Pine, Ariz. in 2006 and has been watercolor painting recreationally at Gila Community College ever since. “The grandeur of the color found in the four corners country captivates me. Recently I am painting animals and not just landscapes,” Christian said. GEORGE LEWIS

Lewis was born and raised in Southern California and has been involved in photography since his high school days. Currently he is retired from a medical pediatric practice. “What I have presented is the result of a series of intensive workshops with Ansel Adams’ assistant, John Sexton, and other equally committed and well respected black and white fine art photographers,” Lewis said. While he works in color, as well, his commitment is to achieve images, mostly in black and white, that convey a sense of the feeling he experiences in the creation of the image. Lewis continues to work with large format film based processes involving a dark room, but is learning to work with digital as well. He is currently represented by ‘Tis and Mountain Artists Galleries in Prescott as well as the Payson Art League. JAN RANSOM

Travel and magazines inspire Ransom to draw and photograph these experiences, then she works wet to wet, blending white into rich color shapes. “Watercolor is a challenge. I think about the main subject and the background that is necessary for a balanced composition,” Ransom said.

PAT SESSIONS

“My painting career began with my retirement and it has become my passion! A day without painting is a day without sunshine,” Sessions said. She adds she is endlessly fascinated by people, places and things and considers it a privilege and a challenge to capture some

aspect of their essence on canvas. “I work toward ‘painterly realism’ and hopefully this is revealed to the viewer,” Sessions said. See these and all of the other artists mentioned here and in recent issues of The Rim Review at the Payson Art League ’Neath the Rim Studio Tour Friday through

Improvements to the Beeline Highway were a major contributing factor in the population growth of Payson. Paving was completed in 1958.

1990s this was gradually done, turning it into the four-lane highway that it is today. If not for this widening, Payson would surely be different. A key area of development during the 1980s and 1990s is the area west of McLane and north of Longhorn. Payson West was the developer of much of this, with the initial plat for Woodland Meadows being recorded with Gila County on October 21, 1980. (It’s worth noting that many longtime Realtors still think of that area today simply as “Payson West.”) Other subdivisions such as Alpine Village and Golden Frontier, the latter of which is in the southeast quadrant of Payson, also came about during the 1980s. By 1990 the rate of growth in the area had slowed some, but was still going strong as the 1990 census measured Payson at 8,377. Keep in mind that a key element of land acquisition during this era was the land swap — developers purchasing land elsewhere that the forest service wanted to trade for, then trading it to the forest service for land they could develop. This is a topic that needs more research and is easily another article in and of itself. Trailwood and Woodhill came about in the 1990s, further expanding the developments located west of McLane and in 2000 the rodeo grounds, which were for so long at Rumsey Park, were moved to the south end of town. Chaparral Pines and the Rim Golf Club were also developed in the 1990s and are historically noteworthy developments. Up to that

point, Payson had just one golf course, the public course located at the junction of Green Valley Parkway and Vista. Chaparral Pines and Rim Golf Club increased that number to three and brought a different type of development to the region. Obviously, things have since changed somewhat. While population has increased, it’s started to level off. The 2000 census placed Payson’s population at 13,620 and 2010 census placed it at 15,301. That was the smallest increase in population since 1960s. The real estate bubble put a lot of new developments on hold and many longtime Realtors miss “the good old days” and when one looked through promotional brochures for the developments of the 1980s and 1990s, it’s easy to understand their wistfulness. (Charitable organizations know this pain too as builders and Realtors used to be easy donors for fund-raising, but not so much anymore.) The truth is though, that eventually, things will likely come back and a new string of subdivision names will enter folks’ stream of consciousness and Payson will continue to evolve. WRITER’S NOTE

I’ve started to go through old files that relate to this era, which I think is a very important one. I’m always looking for pictures and you’d be surprised how few there are of the past 50 years. If you have information you’d be willing to share, please contact me at timothy@zanegrey.net.

Top chops for the grill When looking for inspiration on the grill, nothing beats the tender, juicy pork chop. This hearty protein is a versatile canvas for a wide range of mouthwatering rubs, glazes and marinades that will ignite taste buds with bold new flavors. Pork chops were on sale last week, so if you picked up a package or two and are ready to get grilling this spring, here are some tips to try. To fire up your grill creativity, look to simple, fuss-free recipes that pack big flavor. Take your pork chops on a jaunt through the Mediterranean with a savory Basil-Garlic Rub. Or, spice up the chop with a Fire-Lovers Rub, featuring a robust blend of Southwesterninspired spices. No matter what tastes you crave, the pork chop is your perfect partner on the grill all year long. For more on how to get the most out of pork on the grill, turn to these tips from the National Pork Board: • Know your chops — Did you know there are five different pork chop cuts? From the richly marbled blade chop to the lean iconic loin chop, there are many delicious options for quick-cooking chops on the grill. Ask your retailer or butcher to help choose the cut that’s right for you – it might just result in a new favorite. • Make it your own — Pork chops pair perfectly with a virtually endless variety of tasty rubs and marinades. Experiment with your own flavor combinations by taking standby recipes and swapping out or adding ingredients to suit your family’s tastes. • Mind your cook time — For juicy, tender pork, the USDA now recommends cooking chops, roasts and tenderloins to an internal temperature of 145 degrees with a 3-minute

rest. Be sure to use a digital cooking thermometer for the most delicious results. For more details on pork chop cuts, tips and mouthwatering recipes, visit www.PorkBeInspired.com.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH | PAUL G. DONOHUE, M.D.

Understanding breast calcifications DEAR DR. DONOHUE: The receptionist at my doctor’s office called to give me the report on a mammogram I had taken. She said that it showed calcifications and that the doctor wanted it repeated in six months. Why? Are calcifications indications of cancer? If they are, I’d like to get this taken care of immediately. I am becoming a nervous wreck thinking about this. — H.M. ANSWER: When tests don’t provide a definite answer, everyone suffers — the patient, the doctor of the patient and the doctor who interpreted the test. Calcifications are the perfect example. They’re calcium specks. When the doctor interpreting the mammogram sees them, he or she bases their importance on their number, their shape, their size and the pattern they make. With those criteria, the doctor usually can say whether they indicate cancer. Noncancerous calcifications might result from a bump to the breast to which you paid little attention. Or a minor breast infection could have caused them. If the doctor feels that evidence points more in the direction of cancer, then he or she will ask for an immediate biopsy. If the doctor feels more certain that they are not cancer signs but is not completely certain about that call, a repeat examination at a later date is a reasonable position to take. Neither the interpreting doctor

nor your personal doctor would ask for a delay if there was any chance that the inaction would harm your health. The pamphlet on breast cancer gives the approach to diagnosing and treating it. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue — No. 1101W, 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: My thighs are loaded with cellulite. What is it, and how can I get rid of it? — M.T. ANSWER: Cellulite is beneath-the-skin fat that forms small puckers due to crisscrossing fibers similar to but not the same as scar-tissue fibers. The fiberpuckered fat gives the involved skin a lumpy-bumpy appearance. Laser treatments, radiofrequency wave treatments and ultrasound have been used for removing cellulite. These are cosmetic procedures and likely are not covered by insurance. Innumerable creams are advertised for cellulite reduction, but I can’t tell you if they work. I would be cautious about trying any that are costly.

Weight loss makes cellulite less obvious. You are best served by consulting a dermatologist. *** DEAR DR. DONOHUE: For the past several days, my left eyelid has been twitching. There’s no pain. It does not affect my vision. Does it mean anything? — T.P. ANSWER: Not usually. Eyelid twitches result from spasms of muscles controlling eyelid movement. It’s intermittent and lasts for a few days, at most. Fatigue, stress and caffeine have been implicated as causes. I have had such twitching, at times when I was neither tired nor stressed nor drinking caffeine. If the twitching is bothersome, soak a washcloth in warm water and apply it to the closed eyelid. If twitching lasts longer than a week or two, see the family doctor. *** Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Thorne-Smith rooting for Alan and Lyndsey Q: I am wondering what has happened to “CSI: New York,” which aired at 9 p.m. on Friday nights. Also wondering when/if “Covert Affairs” will back on the USA network for its next season? I really like all the things Annie gets into on this program. — Mary Lee C., Port Charlotte, Fla. A: As you might have already noticed, “CSI: NY” has returned to its Friday night home (since March 30) on CBS, with five more first-run episodes left to broadcast of its eighth season. Also, the USA network has renewed “Covert Affairs” for a 16-episode third season, which is scheduled to air this summer. While an exact premiere date has not been released, I can tell you that cast and crew are back at work on the new season. Christopher Gorham, who plays Auggie, tweeted to his fans that he’s read two episodes so far of the third season, and that we need to “Get ready!” *** Q: I was a little apprehensive at first about how “Two and a Half Men” would be with Charlie Sheen gone, but I have to say it is still must-watch TV for me. I especially like the recurring character of Lyndsey, who plays Alan’s sometimes girlfriend. Will they stay together? — Kelly T., via e-mail A: If Courtney Thorne-Smith has any say, they will stay together, but not for any big romantic reasons. As Courtney told me: “I love their relationship so much because of their honesty. They are two people who looked at each other and said, ‘Seriously, we’re just not going to do any better.’ They’re settling; there’s none of the fantasy. It works for them. I think they are really authentic with each other, and it just makes me laugh so hard.” Go to www.celebrityextraonline.com to read my entire

interview with Courtney, where she talks about the joy of watching Jon Cryer “do his magic,” the transition from Charlie Sheen to Ashton Kutcher, and Lyndsey and Alan’s future. *** Q: Is “Steel Magnolias” being remade? — Charlene F., via e-mail A: Lifetime Television has snagged Queen Latifah to star in and executive produce the television adaptation of “Steel Magnolias.” While Latifah takes on the role of M’Lynn, Alfre Woodard joins her as Ouiser, with Phylicia Rashad as Clairee, Jill Scott as Truvy, Adepero Oduye as Annelle and Condola Rashad as Shelby. Production begins this month, with the premiere scheduled for later this year. *** Q: Is it true that the HBO series “Luck” has been canceled because three horses died? —- Rosalind R., Fort Worth, Texas A: Unfortunately, that is true. While a second season had been ordered, producers David Milch and Michael Mann decided to pull the plug on the Dustin Hoffman-starring series, stating: “Safety is always of paramount concern. ... While we maintained the highest safety standards possible, accidents unfortunately happen, and it is impossible to guarantee they won’t in the future. Accordingly, we have reached this difficult decision.” *** Write to Cindy at King Features Weekly Service, P.O.

First vending machines dispensed gum • It was American humorist Evan Esar who defined a zoo as “an excellent place to study the habits of human beings.” • The New York Times Best Seller list was first published on April 9, 1942. Since that time, only eight authors have managed to have books place No. 1 on both the fiction and nonfiction lists. Those who have accomplished that feat include Ernest Hemingway, Jimmy Buffett, William Styron, Dr. Seuss and John Steinbeck. • If you’re planning a trip to New Orleans, you might want to keep in mind the following law: It’s illegal in that city to curse a firefighter while he or she is engaged in

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Avoid having someone else take credit for the project you started by finishing it yourself. Then it will be you lovely Lambs who will be wearing those well-deserved laurels. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The facts about a new opportunity are still emerging. Wait until they’re all out in the open, and then use your keen business sense to help make the right decision. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might feel confused, even hurt by a friend who suddenly puts distance between you. If she or he won’t discuss it, don’t push it. An explanation should come in time. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your willingness to be part of the team opens doors that had been shut to you. Keep them open by keeping your promises even when your commitment seems to be wavering. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Congratulations. You’re really getting things done to purr-fection. And don’t forget to take a catnap now and again to keep those energy levels up and bristling for action. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Your “plain-talking” honesty is admirable. But sometimes sharp words can leave painful scars. Be careful that what you say doesn’t come back to hurt you. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) A stress-filled period takes a positive turn as you deal with the underlying problem. Act now to avoid a recurrence by changing some basic rules in your relationship. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Your rising energy levels make it easier for you to achieve some important objectives. This could lead to a big boost in how you’re perceived, both at home and on the job. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) A changing picture begins to emerge as you learn more about an offer that seemed so right but could be so wrong. Look to a trusted adviser for guidance. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Spiritual aspects are strong. Take time to reflect on the path you’re on and where you hope it will lead you. It’s also a good time to reach out to loved ones. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You could be assuming far too many responsibilities, whether it’s at work or in personal matters. Be careful that you’re not weighed down by them. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You’re getting closer to your goals. And since nothing succeeds like success (or the promise thereof), don’t be surprised to find new supporters swimming alongside you. BORN THIS WEEK: You are always the first to try new ventures and confront new challenges. You inspire others with your courage to follow your bold example. © 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.
