LIBRARY OPENS SEED ‘LENDING’ PROGRAM
Beginning Saturday, March 29 a Seed Library will be available at the Payson Public Library. The seeds available through the seed library are for edible plants (fruits, vegetables, herbs) and most are either organic or heirloom varieties. Membership in the Payson Seed Library is free and does not require an active Payson Public Library card. Here is some basic information below, additional literature will available soon. In this new World of Saving and Sharing Seeds you may borrow seeds from the Seed Library of the Payson Public Library with no financial cost. The only requirement is a commitment to growing plants from these seeds as a gift to yourself and saving the seeds produced to return to the community. To save the seeds, at harvest time, please take some extra steps and then return a portion of the seeds you save from the strongest, tastiest, and most vigorous plants to the Seed Library to keep it self-sustaining. The Payson Public Library and Sustainable Rim Country created the seed library. The seeds that make up the collection have come to us through the generous donations of various seed companies. Organizers would especially like to acknowledge American Meadows, Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds, W. Atlee Burpee, Geo. W. Park Seed Co., Seedway, Seeds of Change, Southern Exposure Seed Exchange, and Territorial Seed. We will continue to accept donations of open-pollinated and heirloom seeds.

Director Neil Burger exercises himself in Divergent and makes a craftwork film with interesting shots and techniques. He leaves out any movie magic moments that might interfere with the story. Sometimes a director cannot help himself and allows the direction to become the focus of the film. Not here, Burger keeps the audience fixed on the story, not fancy director stuff. He also directed Limitless and The Illusionist. Both of his best-known films received good marks artistically. Both gathered the monetary devotion of satisfied watchers. Divergent is on the road to a smashing box office success with a strong opening weekend domestic gate of $56 million on a budget of $85 million. The strong three saw blade film is properly rated PG-13 for some violence. The actors utter no bad words and while the youngsters smooch, they manage to stop there. You get your money’s worth time wise with this two-hour and 23 minute movie. Most people will enjoy this film, especially the young teens, but parents and grandparents will also like it. Fun Fact-Kate Winslet filmed her scenes while she was five months into her pregnancy. Director Burger used his subtle director tricks to hide the bump. DYSTOPIA IN FILMS
Literature, and now the flickers, has a long tradition of describing societies that just don’t work very well. The Greeks gave us the idea of a perfect society, the Utopia. Utopia of course means “Nowhere” which is the location on the planet where the perfect society resides. The other side of Utopia is Dystopia, the often horrible future described in countless films. One of the sub-genres of the Dystopian society in film is the ever popular post-apocalypse film. The exact cause of the apocalypse can be any one of a number of possible scenarios. In Divergent the proximate cause was a briefly alluded to war. This is a popular and consistent theme. Tank Girl (1995) featuring Lori Petty, Ice-T, Naomi Watts, Malcolm McDowell, Ann Cusack and Iggy Pop follows a war. Another post-war low budget wonder is World Gone Wild from 1988. More famous films in this genre include Escape from L.A., On the Beach and the classic Alas Babylon. Sometimes the disaster is a plague of some kind. Zombie films like the recent World War Z or the farcical Zombie Strippers fall generally in this class. The movies that terrify me most are the ones where Authority attempts to squish the human spirit
in the name of some higher purpose. These films show a society or a government that has created a matrix of various shaped holes into which human beings are forced. These are films that show people with personalities shaped like square pegs forced into round shaped societal holes, forced with relentless rigor. Film genius George Lucas filmed THX 1138 in 1971. Starring Robert Duvall and Donald Pleasence, the film imagines a future where the citizens are controlled by drugs. In this world, even sex is banned, along with any deviation from the citizen’s essential task of constantly increasing production. Divergent falls into this genre. Young Tris is forced by her government to adapt only one aspect
of her multisided personality to the social reality and to ignore the other parts of herself. The film adaptation of the famous Brave New World explores this theme. The protagonist is offered every delight and comfort his society can provide except his own uniqueness. He comes to a bad end. Similarly famous 1984 shows us a society where not the least toleration for individuality exists. Fahrenheit 451 and A Clockwork Orange explore this theme in different ways. But in each of them the fundamental individuality that makes each of us a unique human being comes under attack. The goal of the authority is to break the mind and spirit of the citizen, to make him into a willing slave. The ultimate aim is always CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

Speaking of trains, have you ever taken the Grand Canyon train from Williams? This town is only 30 miles due west of Flagstaff on I-40. The Grand Canyon Railway is based here and it offers a fine two-night package from Williams. The first evening you arrive at the company’s nice hotel, positioned next to the tracks. The next morning you enjoy a good breakfast at the railroad’s dining room and then board the train at 10 a.m., after viewing a mock shootout at the movie set type town. It is composed of 40s and 50s streamlined train cars that have been completely refurbished to current standards. The train offers coach class, dome cars and a lounge at the end that has a platform for outside viewing. My favorite cars are the vista domes that allow you to see all around as you sit with a glass covered sidewall and ceiling. You arrive at the edge of the Grand Canyon South Rim at 12:30 p.m. where the famed Hotel El Tovar is situated. It is now 100 years old and is beautifully maintained. Plan to have lunch in the hotel’s dining room. Great views of the canyon can be seen from this room and the food is high quality. You spend three hours here to sightsee and walk along the rim taking a zillion photos. At 3:30 p.m. your train departs for the ride back to Williams arriving there at 5:45 p.m. Then, have a beverage at the hotel’s nice bar or go directly to the dining room for a tasty dinner before you retire to your room for a second night’s stay. The railway offers fair pricing for the two nights stay, some meals and the day on the train. Consult the railway for pricing. A few miles east of Winslow off I-40 is the Painted Desert and a little further is the site of the Meteor Crater. Both are very interesting. Be sure to go into the Meteor Park and get a close-up view of the large hole that was created when the meteor struck. You will find
park guides that will take you on a walking tour of the area. We often enjoy the 90-minute drive to the greater Phoenix area. You’ll enjoy Old Town in Scottsdale as well as the many interesting shops and art galleries. In Phoenix you will find baseball, football and other sporting activities along with live theatre, the symphony and opera. There are also very fine hotels located in the area as well as spas and resorts. The shopping in malls is another fine treat along with interesting dining opportunities. We have only mentioned a few short trips that are easy journeys from Payson. You probably have your own. Drive safe and come home soon.
Movies FROM PAGE 3
the greater good, peace or the prosperity of all. The result is a society of bees or robots, stripped not just of humanity but of all our dignity. The nobility of the human imagination is ground into the dirt in pursuit of the unobtainable, of Utopia, of Nowhere. An explicit attack on humanity is depicted in Alphaville. Jean-Luc Godard directed this French new wave film from 1965. Alphaville is a community controlled by a computer. The ruling computer has outlawed things that we revere like poetry, our imaginations and even emotion. The computer forbids us to as “why”. Humans are encouraged to live, to thrive even in a physical sense, to have long lives and to breed new generations. They are just not allowed to be human. Dystopia is a society devoid of curiosity. Movies are more important and interesting than we might think at first glance. Even a film about a teen girl in a distant future has lessons for us in the here and now. We need to hang on to our imagination and our individuality. And we need to go to the theater, to sit alone in the dark, to think and watch the Moving Pictures.

It is understandable that as settlement continued in the Rim Country the name of the local natives, Tonto Apache, would attach itself to various places. As early as the early 1860s King Woolsey and his citizen militia marched between the Mazatzal Mountains and the Sierra Anchas to name Tonto Creek and Tonto Basin for the Indians they were stalking. That set the stage for similar place names to be given. Familiar places like Tonto Natural Bridge, Tonto National Monument and Tonto National Forest readily come to mind. The Tonto Apache Reservation in Payson was long in being established, and for many decades the native people who moved away from the San Carlos Reservation to return to the birthplaces of their ancestors simply camped on government land.

Payson was the location of several families until they were forced off the land by private developers in the 1950s and moved south of town where the Forest Service conveniently ignored their presence. Finally in 1972 85 acres of the national forest was set aside for a reservation in Payson. Unlike other reservations that had been established by executive order, the Payson reservation was established by an act of Congress. Another interesting story regarding Tonto place names is about the Tonto Creek School. In early school records one or two schools in the Tonto Basin were re-

ferred to as Tonto School, but there was another Tonto School higher up along Tonto Creek. The log school was built by local families in about 1918 to provide education for the children of the Henry Haught family and others. This was before the Haughts moved down to Little Green Valley. Margaret “Babe” Haught said, “We had a school house right down on that flat, where Horton (Creek) comes into Tonto.” She went on to tell how the several families of children would meet each morning where the trails crossed, “the Delbridges, and Pappy’s kids, and Uncle Babe’s, and John Haught’s kids… ‘Well,’ (the teacher) said, ‘I’ve often wondered how you kids all come together every day to school. One’s late, you all are.’” Babe Haught’s daughter, Myrtle Branstetter relates how her dad found Zane Grey and his guide Lee Doyle camped in the Tonto School looking for Babe Haught. Other old-timers told about the dances held in the Tonto School. But in time the families moved, the kids grew up, and the school was abandoned. Later it was moved down to Kohl’s Ranch and reconstructed to become the famous Cowboy Bar. Thus the name “Tonto” became familiar not only for a tribe of Native Americans, but also for many, many places in the Rim Country.

COVER STORY | ALEXIS BECHMAN

Geocaching is getting “easier” through technology. The hobby can now be enjoyed through apps for the iPhone and Android cell phones. Before it required expensive, limited GPS devices.
Geocaching – the new treasure hunt It seems I just cannot get enough screen time. I am glued to my computer eight-plus hours a day and when I get home, I watch Netflix and then play games on my smart phone before turning in. If I wake up in the middle of the night, I use Pinterest to lull me back to sleep with visions of baking double stuffed caramel brownies and constructing a table out of pallets. Recently, I discovered a way to stay linked in while hiking. Geocaching has been around since 2000, but only for those with handheld expensive GPS devices, such as Garmins. Today, there is a free app for iPhone and Andriod cell phones. I was initially skeptical of trying geocaching because, well, it sounded dorky. The pastime involves loading the coordinates for a planted geocache, then using your phone or Garmin to lead you to the location (usually within a few feet) and searching around, looking under logs and rocks, until you find the cache. The trick is, while your phone will get you close, a cache is usually well hidden. Sometimes they are stashed in fence poles, in fake rocks, inside tree trunks or so micro in size they are overlooked. A typical cache fits in the palm of a hand, a small waterproof container containing a log where geochachers enter their name and the date found. In larger caches, like Tupperware containers, geocachers usually leave a small trinket and take something to bring to the next cache. It is almost like treasure hunting.
Now, like I said, I was not initially enthusiastic about going geocaching. A friend suggested a hike and then once we were on the trail said we were going geocaching. I plodded along behind the group while they poured over their cell phone screens, debating which way was the most direct to the location. When we were sufficiently close, they started searching for the cache, looking under rocks and in tree branches. After 15 minutes elapsed with no trace of the thing in view, I decided to download the app, right there in the forest off Tyler Parkway to help get this whole thing over with sooner. Then a funny thing happened. I loaded the app on my phone and started following the arrow pointing in the direction of the cache. I read the description of where it was located and the comments left by people who had looked for it. Before I knew it, I was hooked. A friend yelled out that they had found the tiny container, hidden well between two rocks. We were on to our next cache, this one located off a Payson Area Trail System hike. I led the charge, shouting out that we were 300, now 200 feet away. We stumbled on Native American ruins and the hike turned into something more. We oohed and aahed over the crumbly low walls, the pottery shards and arrowheads. It was all I could do to get the group back on track and looking for the cache. We carried on and found it, a dinosaur-themed box that people filled with small plastic toys. When I checked the time, several hours had elapsed. I had noticed neither the passage of time — or the workout I was getting.
We walked home feeling like expert treasure hunters. The next night, I suggested we hit the area by the Payson rodeo grounds. We quickly found the two caches, but then continued our walk up a dirt road to a saddle overlooking Payson to watch the sunset. After five years of living in Payson, I had visited two areas I had never seen and they were some of the prettiest. What else have I missed? I have now geocached in Sedona and Payson with family, friends and even my little sis with Big Brothers CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

What is Jesus doing now? Each year, Resurrection Sunday (often known as Easter), declares with great loud reminder that Jesus, the Son of God, the Son of Men and the Savior of the world, lives forever today. He lives because He willing died on the cross, shedding His holy blood for the sins of the entire world, rose from the dead and ascended to the Heavenly Father and lives forever more in eternity. We know the beautiful glorious deed that he did on the cross and we know the beautiful glorious place in which he reigns since His holy ascension, but have you ever wondered what Jesus is doing right now? What is He doing this current moment? The Roman soldiers under the evil deeds of the religious Jewish leaders, took Jesus to Golgotha, were they crucified Him, and later, in the darkness of the sky Jesus loudly cried out. It is finished …“When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, ‘It is finished,’ and He bowed his head and gave up His spirit.” In a fresh, brand new tomb in the garden, the Roman soldiers secured the tomb with a huge stone… Mary, one of Jesus’ disciples came to the tomb to put fresh herbs and oil on the tomb and found that Jesus was not there, but instead He had rose up from the grave Jesus speaks regarding His own ascension… “Jesus said to her, ‘Mary.’ She turned and said to him in Aramaic, ‘Rabboni!’ (which means Teacher). Jesus said to her, ‘Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’ Mary Magdalene went and an-

Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?” QUESTIONS
1. Will you accept the prayers of Christ on the throne by complying and yielding to His word, His way and His plan? 2. Will you believe that Jesus it the Savior of the world with evidence of an empty blood stained cross and an empty tomb? 3. Will you be faithful to serve him with evidence of good deeds and behavior not just words 4. Will you go and declare this good news to others. SCRIPTURE TEXTS

Big Sisters. No matter the age or place, geocaching pulls everyone in on the hunt. And it’s a lot easier than building a pallet table. GEOCACHING BASICS
• Geocaching (pronounced geo-cashing) is a game where users discover hidden containers in urban and natural settings, such as under park benches and in a tree trunk. • There are more than 2 million geocaches throughout the world, in more than 180 countries. • After a geocacher hides a cache, they list it on Geocaching.com, challenging others to find it. • At minimum, geocaches contain a logbook to sign. Some geocaches contain small trinkets for trade. • If a geocacher takes something from the geocache, they replace it with something of equal or greater value. • Geocaches are returned to their hiding places for the next geocacher. • To begin, download the Geocaching app or visit Geocaching.com.

A small covered container (above), nearly camouflaged among the rocks, is the treasure geocachers seek. A more easily spotted, larger shiny containers holds an assortment of goodies for the successful hunter to select and take to their next destination.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Professional relationships grow stronger. But you might still need to ease some problems with someone in your personal life. One way could be to try to be less rigid in your views. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might be too close to that perplexing personal situation to even attempt to make a rational decision about it right now. Stepping back could help you gain a wider perspective. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Being asked to choose between the positions of two friends is an unfair imposition on you. It’s best to reject the “demands” and insist they try harder to work things out on their own. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A change of mind about a workplace decision might be called for once you hear more arguments, pro and con. A personal event suddenly takes an unexpected (but pleasant!) turn. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Romance once again looms large for single Leos and Leonas, with Cupid favoring Taurus and Libra to inspire those warm and fuzzy Leonine feelings. Expect another workplace change. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) A surprise gift — and, happily, with no strings attached — could come just when you need it to avoid a delay in getting your project done. Expect education to dominate the week. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Someone close to you might ask for your support as she or he faces a demanding personal challenge. Offer it, by all means. But be careful you don’t neglect your own needs at this time. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) An unexpected development could put your relationship with a partner or spouse to an emotionally demanding test. But your determination to get to the truth should save the day. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) A recent agreement appears to be coming apart over the surfacing of unexpected complications. You might need to have expert advice on how to resolve the situation. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Your keen business sense helps you get to the truth about a suspicious business deal. Expect to have many colleagues rally to support your efforts in this important matter. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Someone who once moved in and out of your life through the years might now want to come back in on a more permanent basis. Give yourself a lot of time to weigh your decision. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Showing frustration over a delayed workplace decision might get someone’s attention, but not necessarily make him or her move any sooner. Best advice would be to be patient and wait it out. BORN THIS WEEK: You are drawn to excitement and enjoy fast-tempo music, with the more brass, the better. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH
Exercise can cause asthma attack BY PAUL G. DONOHUE, M.D. ©2014 NORTH AMERICA SYND.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have a 13-year-old boy who’s having asthma attacks. At least, that’s what they sound like to me. It started early this year when the weather was still cold. He plays or practices baseball three times a week. When he’d run the bases, he’d start coughing and wheezing. Now that the weather is warmer, he still has attacks, but not so bad. Does this sound like asthma to you? I don’t know that he’s allergic to anything. — W.O. ANSWER: Asthma is an inflammation of the airways, the bronchi. They become very sensitive, and suddenly narrow and fill with mucus when provoked. Both the constriction and the mucus make it difficult to get air into and out of the lungs. Included in the definition of asthma is reversibility. The constriction and mucus buildup are not permanent, in most cases. The signs of asthma are a feeling of chest tightness, shortness of breath, wheezing and coughing. In your son’s kind of asthma, exercise-induced asthma, the attack comes on five to 10 minutes after beginning an activity. Exercise-induced asthma is not so dependent on allergy triggers. It comes on because cold, dry air irritates the airways. The warmer, moister air is perhaps the reason why his attacks are not as pronounced as they were. You need to have a doctor examine the boy to be sure if this is exercise-induced asthma. Even if he has no symptoms at the time of his doctor visit, the doctor can induce them in a number of ways. He or she also can put an end to them. If exercise-induced asthma is proven, a multitude of medicines are available for control. Most can be taken as mouth sprays. Taking the medicine before physical activity can prevent asthma symptoms for two or three hours. That’s long enough to get him through a practice or a game. The above is for exercise-induced asthma. It’s not for other asthma varieties. The booklet on asthma explains this common illness and its treatments in detail. To obtain a copy, write: Dr. Donohue — No. 602W, 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: What’s the lowest number of calories a woman can safely eat in a day to lose weight? I would like to lose 20 pounds. How long will that take? — G.K. ANSWER: An active woman needs around 1,800 calories a day. If she gets much less than that, she’ll have a hard time meeting her vitamin and mineral requirements. If she deducts 500 calories from her daily diet, she should lose a pound in a week — 20 pounds in 20 weeks. If she actively exercises, she needs to lower her daily intake by only 300 calories to get the same results. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: You printed two letters on headaches. I don’t see you mention the medicine that works for me — Excedrin. It takes only half a pill to end my headaches. My grown son has tried it, but he didn’t get good results. Just wanted you to know how well it works for me. — J.R. ANSWER: Thanks. Excedrin is a combination of aspirin and acetaminophen (Tylenol). Many Excedrin products also contain caffeine, which is said to enhance pain-relief. I’m sure readers will appreciate your testimonial. READERS: Dr. Donohue is retiring after writing “To Your Good Health” for three decades. Dr. Keith Roach will be taking over the popular King Features syndicated column.
