Esteemed Arizona historian, author entertains Payson BY GAIL HEARNE SPECIAL TO THE RIM REVIEW

Marshall Trimble, Arizona’s Official State Historian and author, will entertain us with “Trimble’s Tales” from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, May 2 at the Payson Public Library, 328 N. McLane Road. The public is cordially invited to this free event hosted by the Library Friends of Payson. Light refreshments will be served. When asked about the nature of his presentation to the people of Payson, Trimble replied: “I’ll bring along my guitar and play a couple of songs and tell stories about Arizona oddities and why the state is exceptional. I have a new book, ‘Arizona’s Outlaws and Lawmen’ and two of the chapters are about the notorious Pleasant Valley War.” This latest book and “Arizona: A Cavalcade of History” will both be available for purchase (cash or check only) and signing during the event. Trimble’s first book, “Arizona: A Panoramic History of a Frontier State,” was published in 1977. Since then, he has written more than 20 books featuring Arizona and the West. Marshall Trimble, a 1961 graduate of Arizona State University, was born in Mesa and raised in Ash Fork, a small railroad town on historic Route 66. Trimble began his folk singing and storytelling career in the 1960s and spent four decades teaching Arizona history at Scottsdale Community College. CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

Book signing The Northern Gila County Historical Society hosts former Payson town historian Stan Brown at a book signing at 11 a.m., Saturday May 2 at the Rim Country Museum, 700 S. Green Valley Parkway. Brown will be signing “The Tale of Two Rivers.” It is the story of pioneer settlement along the two rivers of central Arizona’s Rim Country. Brown’s other books on Arizona history will also be available for signing, including “Payson: An Arizona Frontier Town,” “A Frontier Teacher in Tonto Basin,” and “Andres and Delfina, A Story of Hispanic Settlement.” Relay for Life This year this very special event is planned for Saturday, May 9 (in the past it has been held in early June). It will take place from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on the track at Payson High School. There is still time to get a team together — individuals, families, businesses, churches and organizations are encouraged to recruit a group to help in this effort to raise awareness and funds for cancer. The moving luminaries program will be at 9 p.m. — candles, many in specially decorated containers, are ignited at the same time in remembrance of those who have lost their battle with cancer and in encouragement and hope for those still fighting the disease.

will probably take you by boat to St. Mark’s Square with a visit in the Basilica with its shimmering mosaics. Then, perhaps to a glass factory where you can watch artisans blow glass figures that you may wish to buy. It’s really quite interesting! Your tour will certainly include a boat ride down the famous Grand Canal passing by its bordering very large villas. These were and even still are owned by the world famous. You’ll want to see the Bellinis and other Venetian masterpieces at the marvelous Galleria dell’Accademia Art and Culture. Venice is a city unique unto itself and one you will never forget. If you have time, include the more southern areas such as Sorrento. There is fascinating sightseeing from here including the ruins of Pompeii. Maybe there will even be time for the Amalfi Drive along the steep cliffs above the sea and perhaps a boat trip to the fabled Isle of Capri where you can walk the streets and enjoy a seafood lunch followed by some shopping in the fashionable boutiques. There are many other interesting and scenic experiences available to you in Italy. I strongly suggest your first visit be with a tour group. No place is inexpensive in Europe anymore. Take plenty of money and credit cards. What used to be cheap little corner restaurants are now quite expensive. The experience, however, will be very rewarding!

PAUL BLART: MALL COP 2

Physical comedy are best bits Paul Blart, the unlikely New Jersey mall cop hero from “Paul Blart: Mall Cop” attends a security guard convention in Las Vegas with his teenage daughter. Officer Blart, as he insists everyone call him, has a room temperature IQ (and not a Las Vegas summer time temperature either, more an autumnal New Jersey room temperature). He reads people about as well as he reads Sanskrit. His young daughter treats him like she would a puppy that needs training, with patience and affection, but without a single illusion about his abilities or capabilities. We might think him a well-meaning shlub. Better to think of him as a self-important shlub. In short, Officer Blart possesses little in his personality to make us care about him as a person

as his daughter clearly does. Instead we watch to see what catastrophe he will next create. We find ourselves taxed more often than entertained. Kevin James plays Paul Blart exactly the way the part was written, likely because Kevin James also created the character and wrote the screenplay. He had help from Nick Bakay on both counts. Bakay has written extensively for TV including James’ main claim to fame, “King of Queens.” James’ best bits are his physical comedy, most of which are channeled from the spirit of John Belushi. Faint praise indeed. But Kevin James’ on screen personality carries a pleasant blandness that if not stellar at least does not stoop to offense for the sake CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

Friends of Library bring talented Trimble to town FROM PAGE 2

This man of many talents gives stage concerts featuring western folk music and stories with his guitar, answers questions about the Old West from readers around the world in his “Ask the Marshall” column in True West Magazine, and appears frequently on radio and television programs as a goodwill ambassador for the state. In 2006, he received a regional Emmy award for hosting the television show “Arizona Backroads.” Trimble is the recipient of a multitude of recognition awards. A former Marine, he was inducted into the Arizona Veteran’s Hall of Fame in 2004. He received Lifetime Achievement Awards from the Arizona Office of Tourism and the Wild West History Association in 2007 and 2010, respectively. In 2011, Trimble was inducted into the Arizona Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame, received the Al Merito

Award from the Arizona Historical Society, and was honored by the Arizona Centennial Commission as “One of Arizona’s Most Inspiring Leaders” along with Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, Senator Barry Goldwater and four others. In 2012, he was selected for the U.S. State Department’s “Cowboy Hall of Fame Tour,” a goodwill visit to Kyrgyzstan to visit our troops and share American cowboy culture with the people of that country. Trimble was named one of seven “Historymakers” for the year 2014 by the Historical League of the Arizona Historical Society. In 2015, Trimble was named “Westerner of the Year” by True West Magazine and received the “Semper Fi” award from the U.S. Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation. This marks the end of a long and impressive list of awards and honors received by Trimble to date. In short, we could say that Marshall Trimble is a living legend in the realm of Arizona history and folk music.

Payson has a number of streets that have a Swiss-style name and there is good reason for that. The Payson North subdivisions were developed during the 1960s with a Swiss and alpine theme. At times they were marketed as Switzerland in Arizona. The Quality Inn hotel at the corner of Highway 87 and Forest was the Swiss Village Inn for a long time and alpine festivals were held in the 1970s in connection with the development. There are a number of other subdivisions that have street names that fit with the subdivision name. The Country Club Vista subdivision in the northwest corner of Payson is one example. Nicklaus, Palmer, Bobby Jones, Hogan and Snead are all famous golfers and the subdivision developer used their names for the streets. This subdivision was first developed at the same time as Payson Country Club and marketed along with it. Payson Ranchos has horse-themed names. Saddle, Colt, Roundup, Dogie and Corral are examples of street names there that fit with theme. It’s worth noting that when first developed, Payson Ranchos was actually two miles north of Payson. This is just a sampling of streets in the Payson area. There are plenty of others that aren’t mentioned here that are named for people, flowers, landmarks and many other things.

of offense. We may well say that we expect little from him and we get just that. 22-year-old Raini Rodriguez plays the daughter with a manic earnestness. She has been making TV episodes and movies since she turned 13 and does the best she can with what James and Bakay wrote for her. The villain is the always measured Neal McDonough who you will remember from the outstanding “Band of Brothers.” This unnecessary squeal appears six years after the original. A market exists for this kind of Wonder Bread style comedy. Even if it has little in the way of nutrition or flavor at least it has a kind of innocuous goodness to it. Director Andy Fickman in the past few years has managed several quite financially successful films including “Parental Guidance” and “Game Plan.” His most successful films have been in the same PG-rated world of pleasant banality as this one. “Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2” seems set to go on to profitability with a solid take of $34 million over the three-day weekend on a budget of $30 million. It runs a quick one hour and 34 minutes which means you can take the kids, eat the popcorn and get out in good time. Everyone involved in this two saw blade comedy will get a nice paycheck, which is lovely for them. The filmmakers harmed no animals in making this

movie, perhaps the best thing I can say about it. COMING MAY 1

Avengers: Age of Ultron Hang onto your hats boys and girls, the Avengers are in the house. As this PG-13 mega movie jumps into the loud and proud summer season it will jolt moviegoers into high gear. The cast includes some of the brightest stars in Hollywood including Scarlett Johansson as the Black Widow, Chris Hemsworth as Thor (few men can successfully pull off a portrayal of a Norse God) and Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man. Also playing are Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, James Spader (as the voice of the ultra nasty Ultron), Idris Elba, Samuel L. Jackson, Paul Bettany, Andy Serkis, Stellan Skarsgard and Don Cheadle. Cameo roles are reserved for creator Stan Lee as always and Lou Ferrigno appears in homage to the original Hulk character from TV. Whew. Directing we have the genius of Joss Whedon (“Firefly”) based on the characters made famous by comic book writers Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. Whedon, Lee and Kirby all had a pen in the ink for the screenplay. If “Furious Seven” didn’t kick-start your movie heart, “Avengers: Age of Ultron” surely will. The film is rated PG-13 and lasts two hours, 21 minutes.

The Payson Art League presents its 14th Annual ’Neath the Rim Open Studio Tour from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday, Saturday and Sunday, May 1, 2 and 3. The tour showcases 26 artists with work displayed in 14 studios in Payson, Pine and Star Valley. This year’s featured artist is Pat Sessions of Pine. A native of Southern California, Sessions retired from education and moved to Pine in 2005. It was while she was teaching, Sessions said, she discovered how wonderful art was to help develop learning skills in children. She taught herself pencil work after retirement then, “…took my

art to a new level at the junior college and under the tutorship of Joy Layson, I entered the arena of oil painting.” Sessions continues her art studies, now with Jim Strong of Payson. The images she creates are from photographs she or friends take. “I work toward painterly realism. My favorite subjects are people and animals,” Sessions said, adding her passion to paint keeps her at the easel almost every day.

NEW ARTISTS Each year the PAL opens participation in the studio tour (and its big fall show and sale) through a juried selection process. Often “new” artists are discovered through the process and introduced to the community. There are five “new” artists in the 2015 studio tour: Donna Davies, Jenny Kirgis, Janet Longbotham, Guido Emilio and Michele Orsini. Davies, who lives in Payson, loves painting landscapes in oils. She also does portraits and enjoys sketching with charcoal pencil (Davies was not available for additional information for this story).

Kirgis is an abstract artist with a love of travel, outdoors and flowers. Her work is characterized by vibrant colors and bold compositions. She has had a home in Pine for 15 years, but is a part-time resident. She lives in Chandler the rest of the time and is regional vice president of recruiting for Xerox and an instructor for the College of Business at the University of Phoenix. When not in Pine or working, she said she also loves spending time in Puerto Penasco — “The sunsets there are very inspiring to me,” she said. She said her mother is an amazing artist and was her inspiration to pursue artistic expression — and continue to do so. “I started taking art classes later in life, and was instantly hooked. After my first lesson — I think I bought an entire art supply store on my first visit!” Kirgis said she continues to study. “I am a constant learner of art. I try to take classes all over the world when I travel for business; visit art museums and read books about famous artists and their techniques. “A little over a year ago, I started a company called Brews

and Brushes. I teach art classes at THAT Brewery in Pine and Cottonwood, as well as many other locations in Arizona and Mexico. These classes are a fun and relaxing way to paint, collaborate and socialize. I think I learn more from my student artists that attend these fun events than anywhere else.” In fact, Kirgis sold her first work at THAT Brewery in Pine. “I was given the opportunity to showcase my work at THAT Brewery! The painting was a bear sleeping on a tree limb — he was adorable! I was actually sad to sell it because I loved it so much, but I was running out of wall space at home. I have now learned to hold on to those special paintings until I am ready to let them go.” She considers art her true passion in life, “…so there is no way I could ever stop. I never feel as good as when I am painting. I have such a supportive family as well that continues to show an interest in my work and pushes me forward every day.” In time she hopes to pursue her art on a full-time basis, expand her Brews and Brushes Company in Arizona. “Many smaller towns are really starved for a creative and social outlet

such as this. There is no greater satisfaction to me than seeing my attendees come back month after month; create and become so inspired by their own work.” Longbotham works in oils and finds great inspiration in the outdoors. She studies with Jim Strong and said she enjoys portraits, pets, landscapes and flowers — so far. She moved to Payson in spring of 1986. She was a construction worker before that, so moved around a lot and did numerous other jobs. “Everything from railroad laborer to nail technician,” she said, calling life versatile, flexible and interesting. She was first inspired to pursue artistic expression just to see if she could, but then “I really liked it and it became almost therapeutic,” Longbotham said. Her first formal art class was with Jim Strong at Gila Community College in 2008 — she said she was hooked from then on. Her first sale was at the casino (at PAL’s ARToberfest show and sale) when students showed in their own section. “I sold an oil painting and was on top of the world,” she said. CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

PAL introduces ‘new’ artists with tour FROM PAGE 6

Longbotham said her work as an artist is inspired by “Seeing God’s creations through new eyes. My whole perception has changed.” Husband and wife Guido Emilio and Michele Orsini are both “new” artists in the 2015 PAL studio tour. Guido was born in Milan, Italy and said he came to the U.S. because it gave room for his heart to have expression. He works in pencil, pen and ink, creating surreal, metaphorical and whimsical drawings. Michele creates handmade birdhouses. “Designing, engineering and constructing cavity nesting birds not only satisfies my creativity, it helps birds find a safe place to raise their young.” The couple doesn’t make their home here, but will be visiting close friends for the event. They are self-employed, owning and operating a construction company, Migorsini Innovations, which mainly deals with interior and exterior painting, finishing cabinets and doors as well as installing molding, faux finishes, remodels and small jobs. Michele is the general contractor and Guido is the painter. Michele said Guido has always been drawn to the expression of art since he was a small boy — his father was an artist. She said his art gives her husband release. She started creating birdhouses to make some extra income and along the way discovered that birds are fascinating creatures. “I became passionate about their needs and wants. My artistic creative side became more involved as the popularity of the birdhouse became evident and now it fills my day of creation to please not only the birds, but the eye of the public,” she said. While Michele is basically self-taught, Guido studied at Valley College and Cal State San Bernadino. Guido was not available to respond to the interview question about his first sale and Michele did not know about it, as for herself, she shared the following: “I made my first sale on the birdhouses when I took three down to our local gift shop and they sold within three days … I’ve come a long way since (those first efforts) with a published book on Handmade Birdhouse and Feeders that I was asked to do from Cico Books, Ryland-Peters & Small. That was an honor!” Asked about what continues to inspire their work, Michele said Guido is always inspired, especially after a walk in the woods. “He never stops imagining fantasy as we would want to see it in real life. His drawings are always of fairies, butterflies and many creatures of nature that reflect good.” Michele said she has always been inspired to create with her hands, to put together something from scratch and see it become beautiful and useful. “It’s even more inspiring when the birds start nesting in my birdhouses to give new life. That’s an incredible experience.” As for the future, she said her husband would like to place his art in a gallery for the world to see; retire and just be an artist of expression. “I am working toward having my creations in every garden across the United States and continue to do so as long as I can,” Michele said. (The guide showing the location of the studios open to the public and artists participating was in the April 28 Roundup.)

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A seemingly stalled romantic situation could benefit from your reassurance that you want this relationship to work. And if you do, use a tad more of that irresistible Aries charm. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Going to new places and meeting new people appeals to both the Taurean’s romantic and practical sides. After all, you never can tell where those new contacts can take you. Right? GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) That career-change opportunity that didn’t work out when you first considered it could come up again. But this time, remember that you have more to offer and should act accordingly. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) There could be some tensions in relationships -- domestic or workaday. But a calm approach that doesn’t raise the anger levels and a frank discussion soon will resolve the problem. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) It’s a good idea to begin preparing for that career change you’ve been thinking about for a while. Start to sharpen your skills and expand your background to be ready when it calls. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Bless that Virgo skepticism that has kept you from falling into traps others seem to rush into. But you might want to give a new possibility the benefit of the doubt, at least on a trial basis. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Travel and career are strong in your aspect. Perhaps your job will take you to someplace exotic. Or you might be setting up meetings with potential clients or employers. Whatever it is, good luck. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Someone might use deception to try to push you into making a decision you’re not fully comfortable with. But those keen Scorpio senses should keep you alert to any such attempt. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Romance dominates this week when Cupid spears the Archer, for a change. Positive things also are happening in the workplace. Expect important news to arrive by the week’s end. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Anyone trying to bully the Sea Goat -- whether it involves a personal or a professional matter -- will learn a painful lesson. Others also will benefit from the Goat’s strong example. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Congratulations. With things going the way they are, you should be able to spare some time and take a break from your hectic schedule for some well-earned fun and games. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Your sharp Piscean intuition should be able to uncover the true agendas of those who might be trying to catch the Fish in one of their schemes. BORN THIS WEEK: Your flair for innovative art and design keeps you at least a step ahead of most everyone else. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

Drip irrigation systems apply the water directly to the soil, which reduces water lost to overspray, evaporation and runoff.

Conserve and still grow great gardens BY MELINDA MYERS GARDENING EXPERT

Reduce your workload, increase productivity and be water wise with your garden. Container gardeners may want to invest in self-watering pots. These containers have built-in reservoirs to reduce watering frequency. Commercial and homemade self-watering devices can also reduce watering frequency. Just make sure to test their effectiveness before leaving town. Drip irrigation and soaker hoses are also a great way to water in-ground plantings. These irrigation systems apply the water directly to the soil, which reduces water lost to overspray, evaporation and runoff. They also reduce the risk and spread of disease by preventing water from settling on the leaves of the plants. Opt for a micro irrigation system if your water has a high mineral content. These minerals can build up and clog soaker hoses. Micro irrigation systems experience fewer problems and the nozzles can be cleaned to prevent clogs. Because the nozzles can be clipped onto stakes, tomato towers or other supports, this system makes it easy to deliver water right to the plants. Raised bed gardens will also benefit from irrigation systems. Elevated gardens often dry out more quickly than their in-ground counterparts and need more frequent watering. Further save time by using preformed corners with builtin spigots when constructing raised beds. Simply slide the boards into the metal corner pieces to create the raised bed. Correctly installed irrigation systems can help conserve water by ensuring you water properly and only when needed. Plus, using a timer and an irrigation system allows you to apply water at the best time for the plants. Just set the timer for early in the morning — when less water is lost to evaporation — and the plants will be watered even if you are not home. Further conserve water and time spent watering by grouping moisture-loving plants together. And remember to mulch your garden. A thin layer helps conserve moisture and reduces erosion. So make this the year you take a break from watering, while continuing to enjoy beautiful and productive gardens. ABOUT THE AUTHOR
