STRINGFEVER PERFORMS
Live On Stage, Inc. and The Tonto Community Concert Association and Live on Stage present a performance by Stringfever — four world class musicians playing five- and six-stringed electric violins, viola and cello in a truly original show at 2:30 p.m., Sunday, April 3 at the Payson High School Auditorium. Stringfever will also present an educational outreach program for students in grades K-12, sponsored by the Tonto Community Concert Association, at 10 a.m., Monday, April 4. Stringfever includes brothers Giles, Ralph and Neal Broadbent and their cousin, Graham. Stringfever’s show has some of the most creative techniques audiences will see being played on instruments. The show has a wide range of unique pieces including an acclaimed version of Ravel’s “Bolero” in which all four will be playing on one cello simultaneously. Stringfever then challenges the audience in “Name That Tune” as they race through 20 of the best-loved film themes in one breathless arrangement. Their helter-skelter 007-James Bond medley is an absolute killer. And the show ends with Stringfever’s breathtaking signature finale, “The History of Music ... in 5 Minutes.” Single tickets are $25 and are available at the door. Children and students under age 18 are admitted at no charge when accompanied by a ticketed adult. For more information visit the association website at www.tccarim.org or call 928-478-4363 or 928-472-2423.

RIM GARDENING GUIDE
Squash – veggies of mass production BY CATHY HICKEN HIGH COUNTRY GARDEN CLUB
Is there anything more prolific than squash? Gardeners can count on these powerhouse veggies to produce a bountiful harvest. Their requirements are few and easy to accommodate. There are two main categories of squash: • Summer squash are bush-type plants with fruit generally harvested when young and immature. It comes in yellow, straight or crookneck varieties; green zucchini varieties; or green, white, or yellow skinned, scalloped shaped, “patty-pan” fruit varieties. Summer squash usually mature within two months of planting and continue to produce all season long. Unfortunately summer squash don’t store well. • Winter squash can grow on a vine or bush-type plants. The fruit is harvested when fully mature and
they mature around three months or more of growing and are best harvested after the cool weather arrives. They can also be stored for months in a cool area. Some of the more common winter squash are: acorn, butternut, buttercup, delicata, hubbard, kabocha and spaghetti. Pumpkins are also considered a squash. Squash seeds like to be planted about 1-inch deep and far enough apart to ramble. They can be planted in rows or hills. “Hills” simply means plant four to six seeds in a 1-foot diameter circle and after germination just reduce them to 2 seedlings. These plants love extra doses of manure and compost: 3 to 4 inches of compost per plant bed will make them happy. If you don’t have compost, a 5-5-5 or 5-10-10 organic fertilizer will do. Give them another dose after they begin to vine and this will increase CONTINUED ON PAGE 8

Jakes Corner celebrates centennial BY ALEXIS BECHMAN ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER
It has survived many owners, a fire and a slew of rowdy nights as semi trucks replaced stagecoaches on the one of the main routes to Rim Country. So now to celebrate its centennial, the owners of Jakes Corner Bar are throwing a four-day party in mid-April. The bar, a fixture on State Route 188, 20 minutes south of Payson, is an Arizona landmark and was named such in 2000. In 1916, the corner was a stage stop on the Annie Hardt ranch. Whenever the Salt River flooded, stagecoaches would stop and wait for the waters to recede on their journey from Globe to Payson. Annie would put out fruits and vegetables and passersby would leave money in a collection box. In 1924, George Felton built the first store at the corner. His wife Virginia managed the shop while he traveled the world, performing in Wild West shows with his friend Charlie Meadows. The store changed hands several times before Jake and Nina Stephenson bought it and named it Jakes Corner. By 1972, the road outside the store was paved and more traffic was soon flowing past as anglers headed to Roosevelt Lake. After a few more ownership changes, the bar burned to the ground in 1999. The only thing left standing was a tree on the east side. That tree still stands today, although it does not appear to be alive. The building was reconstructed in 2000 and Rick Heppler bought it in 2005. Under his ownership, the movie “Jake’s Corner” was filmed at the bar. It featured several locals and was shown at the Sedona Film Festival.
Sadly, in May 2011, Rick was killed on his Harley motorcycle when a motorist struck him from behind while he was on an American Legion ride. His sister, Robin Heppler, is the executor of his estate and today she and her husband operate the bar. Robin explained her brother was not a likely bar owner. He worked for Ping Golf for decades and was one of their oldest employees. Rick traveled the world for Ping and met lots of golf pros. On the flip side of his clean-cut golf image was a biker, she said. Rick planned to retire from Ping and operate the bar full-time. Robin said after his untimely death, she didn’t know if the family would keep the bar. Several people at his memorial asked Robin not to close and said the bar was a huge part of the community, the Tonto Basin version of the TV bar “Cheers,” where everyone is friendly and knows your name. Robin, who lives in Colorado with her husband, decided to keep the bar. Today, she and her husband travel to Jakes Corner every four to six weeks to check in on things. When not there, they rely on manager Ernie Padilla to keep things running smoothly. Just recently Robin had a 900-square-foot dance floor added outside behind the bar. During the week, it doubles as a horseshoe court. They also added a new, smaller bar outside that can be used for private parties. Robin said when she realized the bar was turning 100, she knew she had to throw a party because “you only turn 100 once.” The party will kick off Thursday, April 14 with a jam

Jakes Corner Bar and Grill owners Robin Heppler and Jon Seay Sr. are hosting a party to commemorate the corner’s 100th anniversary. The couple recently had a new outside bar added for the occasion.
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION Jake’s Corner Bar 57564 N. State Route 188 Thursday, April 14 6 p.m.-8 p.m. Amateur jam session Friday, April 15 3 p.m.-11 p.m. Live music, dancing, dinner specials Saturday, April 16 8 a.m.-11 p.m. Stagecoach rides, live music, dancing, games, bourbon tastings Sunday, April 17 8 a.m.-6 p.m. Western Spirit hot air balloon, live music, games, food specials session. Everyone is welcome to attend and play or sing. Then on Friday, April 15, there will be dinner and dancing. On Saturday, April 16, Robin has hired a stagecoach out of Queen Creek that will offer 20-minute rides through the community. Robin plans to donate all money collected from the stagecoach rides to charity, likely a fire group since Rick was a retired firefighter. There will be bourbon tastings, with $5 buying you four tastings of bourbon from the High West Distillery out of Park City, Utah. Junction 87 will play from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Also on Saturday, festivities will include games, including a traditional game played at the bar. Robin said she found an old white board out back with numbers on it like a bingo board. Perplexed, she asked an older rancher if he knew how to use the board. He said they would put the board on the ground, put chicken wire around it and put a chicken on the board. Bets were placed where the chicken would poop first. On Sunday, April 17, Robin and her husband Jon Seay Sr. will have their hot air balloon, the Western Spirit, inflated and staked out front. The couple travels around the world for hot air balloon events and their balloon, which features hand-painted cowboys on horseback, is known as an art balloon. Those looking for a place to stay during the weekend events can bring an RV or tent and stay next door at the RV storage lot for $8 a day. For more information, visit the Jakes Corner Bar Facebook page.

COVER STORY | CONNIE COCKRELL
Connie Cockrell photos
Trekking the Barnhardt Trail south of Payson is not for the faint or the inexperienced. The steep trail sometimes gives the impression of a near straight-up ascent. Even veteran hikers can find the journey challenging, but the author and photographer says it is well worth the effort.
Hiking Barnhardt Trail Cliff crawling. Geologic wonders. Botanical jewels. Water in the desert. That’s what’s in store when you hike the Barnhardt Trail. Our March 8 group met as usual in the Stage parking lot. Not so many of us as usual on this chilly morning. There were 15 of us and we left at our usual 8:30 a.m. departure time, then carpooled down to the Barnhardt Trail turn-off just south of Rye. It was another beautiful day in Arizona with clear skies and puffy clouds as we drove the nearly five-mile bumpy dirt access road to the trailhead. Signs of spring could be spotted as we drove along the road. A sprinkling of white and yellow flowers, too small to identify from the car, were making themselves obvious in the hard-packed soil of the valley floor. We parked next to the sign marking the Barnhardt Trail. There is another trail sign on the north side of the spacious parking area, leading to the Y Bar Trail number 44. Be sure to take the Barnhardt Trail number 43. Already it was warmer than in Payson, but we put light shirts or fleeces in our packs or around our waists. They would be needed later. We started up the rock-strewn path
leading through the canyon and passed through a crooked gate designed to let hikers through and keep cattle out of the Mazatzal National Wilderness Area. The trail is marked for both hikers and horses and we certainly saw hoof prints on the trail as we scrambled for good footing. The first part of the trail leads upward through a small woodsy area. Grassy plots line the left, uphill side of the trail at the beginning making a lovely spot for a picnic. The right, downhill side, becomes steep and the dropoff a long way down almost as soon as you start the uphill hike. Even after a short time on the trail, I had to take quick stops to breathe. That only meant I could look back down the canyon to see impressive views of the Rye Valley framed by the mountain. Stopping to breathe is a regular part of hiking up the Barnhardt Trail. It’s not all bad though. We had our friend, Pete the Geologist, with us to explain what we were looking at. There are extremely rare rock chevrons along the trail. As I remember Pete saying, the layers of rock were originally several kilometers or more underground where the heat and the pressure made the rock very plastic. As the layers were pushed horizontally by immense tectonic pressure, they solidified into the fantastic
chevrons and whorls, like a person’s fingerprints, but exposed to the light and air only after another one and one-half billion years. The large examples of these dynamic folds called a saddle reef are clearly visible across the canyon from the trail, but small examples outcrop at the trail’s edge and can be photographed in detail. Apparently these formations are not visible in very many places on the planet. We’re lucky to have them right here in our area. Fortunately, they aren’t too far up the trail, perhaps a mile or mile and a half at GPS 34 5.520N 111 26.070W, so that even with stopping to breathe often, they are within viewing range of the average hiker. Also along the trail are viewpoints that allow a clear view down to the canyon bottom where a stream flows. I’m not sure if it flows year-round as I’ve never been there after April, but it’s worth looking at. The bottom, like the rest of the canyon is multi-colored — red rock, which up until now I’ve called jasper, fills the canyon and the canyon bottom. But the bottom also has large green rock patches and light colored rock patches. It is all very pretty. We can hear the water gurgling and splashing even high up on the cliff side. Did I mention cliff crawling earlier? Yep. We’re high up and on a narrow track. I
suspect persons with vertigo might want to skip this hike. But it’s worth it. Along the trek up, trickles of water seep from the mountain. As it’s on the shady side, the water has created small oases of plants and mosses. One particular patch of plants was identified by one of our group as miner’s lettuce. I looked it up on the Internet when I got home and from the pictures, it is indeed miner’s lettuce. I suppose we now know we won’t starve while on the trail. The little discs had tiny white flowers in the middle and were quite attractive. At any rate, we kept trudging uphill. About the two-and-a-half mile mark or so, where we are switch backing up and up and up, the trail passes through another woody area. The tiny forest enclave is a welcome shady relief after climbing the dusty trail in the sun. At about mile three, we come to a small waterfall tucked back into a cleft in the mountain. This year there wasn’t much water flowing, but the tiny stream does support a lovely colony of jewel green moss on red rocks which Pete the Geologist told us is actually rhyolite, not jasper as I had thought. It seems to me the entire top half of the mountain is made of this stuff and is shot through with white quartz. As Pete explained, the quartz is dissolved in water CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

ground water, which seeps through cracks in the rhyolite. The pH changes at open rock fractures causing the quartz to precipitate out of the groundwater and make a white crystalline fracture-filling quartz deposit that is so attractive. I love having Pete come along on our hikes. Anyway, it’s another half a mile or so to the second waterfall. It’s a steep climb and by now most of us turtles, the ones stopping to breathe all the time, are tired and ready to turn around. I beg you not to do it. The second waterfall is the reason you’re making this climb. As an incentive, the views are also worth it as you stop to breathe. The second waterfall, 1,550 feet above the trailhead, isn’t immediately obvious. Yes, there’s a small stream to cross and if you’re a backpacker or fast hiker, you probably don’t even realize the waterfall is there you’re so intent on climbing the rest of the way out of the canyon. But wait — at the mossy pool, 34 5.227N 111 27.176W, turn left and clamber up and over a six-foot waterfall and boulders of red rock into the cleft in the mountain. Follow the sound of splashing water. In the cleft it’s very cool, nice after the long climb up. You’ll see the several falls and there are a lot of boulders to sit on. This is the time to pull those shirts and fleeces out of your pack that you’ve hauled all that long, hot way up the mountain. It won’t take long for you to start to shiver. The entire cleft is that red rhyolite shot through with white quartz. You can imagine yourself in a fine palace as you munch your sandwich. All too soon it’s time to leave. The 3.6-mile hike down the mountain is anti-climatic, but we still have to be careful. The grit and rocks make the footing treacherous. We had some slips but, luckily, no real falls on the way back to the cars. This is one of our longest hikes for both distance and time. It was 3 p.m. by the time we returned to the Stage parking lot, legs quivering. I’ve done this trail four times and every time I tell myself I won’t do it again. Every year I go. The views, the beautiful rocks, the moss and the waterfall in the red palace compel me to keep going. One year I’ll have to concede that I can’t do it. Until then, I’ll make the trek. Barnhardt Trail Trailhead: From Payson, drive south on Hwy. 87 past Rye and just past the turnoff for Gisela; turn right at the brown sign for the Barnhardt Trailhead. Drive the dirt road 4.9 miles from the highway to reach the trailhead (even though the posted sign says 4 miles). It’s a single track with no turn-offs ending at the large parking area. You’ll need a high clearance vehicle. Distance: Approximately 7 miles round trip in and back again. Difficulty: Hard Highlights: Rock chevrons, red rock with quartz, moss and miner’s lettuce, fantastic views, waterfalls, satisfaction of climbing just about all the way up that mountain.

Those in the know say be patient about planting BY TERESA MCQUERREY RIM REVIEW EDITOR
I am by no stretch of the imagination a gardener. Still, I like to read about gardening, listen to experts and veterans of the green thumb wars and enjoy seeing things blooming and producing their bounty. So, the other day I went to one of the Payson Community Garden’s regular classes. It was about planning your garden and planting to get the most out of your space. I was not the only novice there and some of us (not me) pressed the experts and veterans when they should start their gardens — i.e.: start putting seeds and seedlings in the actual ground. Frankly, I was a little surprised by the answer — wait until around Mother’s Day. Really? Stuff I have read said usually around April 15 is reasonable. Anyway, it’s not that you can’t start your garden until then; you just have to be prepared to make the extra effort to protect your plants in the event of a cold snap. Another question — which is better: using seeds or seedlings? The answer — it depends on what you want to plant and how soon you want it to be ready for harvest. But back to the basics of the class, presented by Chris Jones with the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension Gila County Master Gardener Program. While it was designed for participants in the Payson Community Garden, the information can be applied to any home garden. The first step is to pick where your garden plot is to be located. Jones said home gardens should be in a spot where there are at least six to eight hours of exposure to sunlight during the growing season. Once the spot is selected, sketch your garden design (traditional linear, square foot method or in the round); choose the vegetable species — what vegetables and herbs do you enjoy and want ready access to. Read the planting instructions in order to learn how deep do the seeds or seedlings need to be planted; what temperature range and how much light and water do they require; when will they be ready to harvest. Jones said take into consideration the growing seasons in the Rim Country: spring, summer and monsoon, and in some areas fall.
He recommended keeping a garden journal — sketching your plot design in its pages; cataloging the plants you are growing and their requirements; listing the dates when you plant them; noting on the plot sketch (or a fresh one) where they are; and when they should start producing. Jones said while planning your garden, visualize how to maximize the use of your space. This could include intensive gardening producing high yields in minimal space and continuous yields. He said, this is sometimes called “square foot gardening” and it is debatable if it actually reduces the amount of labor involved. He said using raised beds is a good method. It defines the garden space and makes concentrated soil preparation easier. However while raised beds allow the soil to warm up more quickly and therefore ready to plant sooner, it also dries out more rapidly, so requires more watering. “Arizona soils are challenging. They need to be built up with compost and other organic matter,” Jones said. Another way to maximize garden space is to go vertical — use a trellis, cage or poles for plants that like to spread out. Among these are tomatoes, peas, squash, beans and cucumbers. He said in addition to maximizing the usable space in the garden, vertical space also eliminates some of the issues of shade and aids in control of some plant disease. However, it creates a dry environment, so watering becomes an issue. The placement of a vertical garden in a plot can offer added benefits — it can provide a certain amount of shade to those plants that thrive better with a little less sunlight, such as those that might be considered cool weather crops. Roger Kreimeyer, director of the PCG, said when constructing trellis structures, whether in the community garden or in home plots, they should be well anchored and sturdy enough to withstand monsoon winds. Jones said paying attention to the recommended spacing between plants (generally found on the backs of seed packets) is important in getting the best yield from a garden. However, you can alternate different plants in the same area at the same time. For instance, you can put in radishes and beans in a contained space — radishes grow down, beans grow up; radishes are

supposed to be planted two inches apart and beans, four inches apart. Jones said add two and four together and divide the sum, six, by two and you can plant both your radishes and beans about three inches apart. He cautioned about planting some produce together, giving onions and cucumbers as an example — you could have cucumbers that taste like onions. Further increasing the yield of a small garden plot is the practice of succession planting (it also helps minimize the problem of having everything ready for harvest at the same time). Generally, start by studying the information on the seed packets and looking a different varieties of the same plant — some will take longer to reach maturity and be ready for harvest before others. Put in the early maturing species first, then a week or so later, put in another batch and so on. That way you are spacing out the harvest times and getting more produce from your garden area. Jones offered a couple of different illustrations. Use of intercropping is also a way to maximize the use of space for the best yields, he said. Things to consider in developing this kind of garden are cool vs. warm
weather crops; days to harvest; the root zone (how much space does the plant need for its best results); nutrient needs; shade tolerance; pest deterrence. Examples include planting carrots and radishes together; putting in cool season greens and follow with summer crops — squash, tomatoes and peppers — in the same space; onions, lettuce and carrots; beans with summer crops; peas with cole crops (broccoli and cauliflower). Jones also recommended including herbs and flowers in a small garden; herbs for their culinary value as well as the impact they have on both attracting beneficial insects and mitigating pests. Among his recommendations: bee plant; dill; parsley; cilantro; basil; mint; African marigold; garlic; onion; and chives. He and those attending also talked about planting folklore: chives are said to repel aphids; basil repels hornworms; mint repels cabbage moth; tansy repels ants; nasturtiums repel squash bugs. One woman said she had discovered putting pure eucalyptus oil on a cotton ball about once a month and hanging it from a tomato cage or around her garden kept away the elk, deer, rabbits and javelina.

fruit count and size. It has been said that squash are like camels — they consist of almost 95 percent water when mature. They particularly need a consistent supply of water. They love mulch and soaker hoses. Proper pollination is also important. Squash have both male and female flowers on the same plant. Bees are the best bet for the job. So plant some bee attracting flowers to the garden to help out. A lot of problems seen on squash are due to poor insect pollination. Zucchini rotting before it starts to grow; too few fruit and misshapen fruit are due to lack of pollination. Harvest your summer squash as small
as possible for the best taste. If you miss one and it grows to a gargantuan size (they are masters of camouflage) just make zucchini bread. Winter squash should be harvested when the color changes and the skin is thick enough that your thumbnail can’t pierce them. One note on winter squash; as they grow there is danger of rot coming up from the ground. So keep the squash just off the ground by laying a piece of plastic, tile, wood or glass under each fruit. Squashes are victim to a few diseases and pests. Mildew is common when they do not get enough water and the humidity is high. This appears as white patches on the leaves. Vine borers hollow out squash stems; then the leaves go limp and die.
Cut off and burn the affected stems. The same pests affect them as those that attack cucumbers, so don’t plant these two close to each other. Here is a different recipe for all those zucchini you will have. Don’t expect leftovers with this one.
SWEET ZUCCHINI CRUMBLE
4-1/2 cups flour 3 cups sugar, divided 1/2 teaspoon salt 1-1/2 cups shortening, softened or butter, cold 6 to 8 cups thinly sliced zucchini 2/3 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice (about 3 lemons) 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground or freshly grated nutmeg Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Stir the flour, 2 cups of the sugar, and salt in a large bowl until well combined. Add the shortening of butter and cut it into the flour with a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture looks like coarse oatmeal. Pour half the mixture into a 9-inch-by-13-inch cake pan. Using your fingers or a rubber spatula, press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside. Combine the zucchini and lemon juice in a large pot over high heat and cook until zucchini is tender, 8-19 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1 cup of sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Simmer for 1 minute more. Stir in 1/2 cup of the reserved flour mixture and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat and let cool for 10 minutes. Pour the zucchini mixture over the baked crust and sprinkle with remaining flour mixture. Return to the oven and bake until it is lightly browned and bubbly, 40-45 minutes.
