THIS WEEK’S REVIEW

2

Welcome to The Rim Review.

This week the cover story is on a unique adventure that is not difficult to come by — paddleboarding.

To accompany this, the food feature is filled with great picnic recipes.

Elsewhere, Ken Brooks revisits one of his favorite topics in his Travel Talk col-

umn — vacation by train.

Andy McKinney reviews two movies in this edition: Snow White and the Huntsman and Prometheus. He liked both films, so see if he can entice you to spend one of our hot summer afternoons or warm evenings in the cool confines of the Sawmill Theatres.

Historian Tim Ehrhardt writes about the Roberts Fire.

Check out this page and Page 3 for ideas for your lazy, hazy days of summer — today, Wednesday, June 20, is the first official day of the season.

Getaway AROUND THE RIM COUNTRY Summer concerts The annual Summer Concert Series by the Payson parks department features a free program at 7 p.m. every Saturday from through July 28. The concerts are held in the amphitheater area of Green Valley Park where the audience can bring blankets and lawn chairs to enjoy the show.

Scheduled to perform are Breaking Point with both jazz and country music, June 23; hometown favorites, Junction 87 with country music, June 30; more hometown music by the popular John Carpino and the Hot Cappuccinos, July 7; Big Daddy & The Dynamites, blues, July 14; Southern Flight Band with variety and rock music, July 21; and another popular local group, The John Scott Band with blues, July 28.

Rim Country Museum The Rim Country Museum is participating in the Blue Star Museums program this summer with the American Association of Museums, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Blue Star Families Foundation in support of the Blue Star Museums program for 2012. Blue Star participants agree to offer free admission to active-duty military personnel and their families from Memorial Day through Labor Day, providing an engaging, enlightening family outing to those Americans who most epitomize sacrifice. Additional information will follow on what identification will be needed for free admission to the museum.

PATS hikes A five-mile, moderately difficult hike of Houston Loop Trail is planned for 8 a.m., Saturday, July 7.

A hike of Houston Trail to Flat Rock, two miles in length and moderately difficult, is scheduled for 8 a.m., Saturday, Aug. 11.

‘HAM’ Field Day The ARRL (American Radio Relay League) has a nationwide “Field Day” event each summer. This event consists of members of amateur radio groups taking their equipment to “the field” and exercising their capabilities. One such group of “hams” is the local 4x4 Ham group and it will be operating a station on the Rim. Non-radio folks are invited to attend and learn about amateur “ham” radio.

Please join the 4x4 Ham group for ARRL Field Day June 22-24.

The Field Day objective is to work as many stations as possible on any and all amateur bands (excluding the 60, 30, 17, and 12-meter bands) and to learn to operate in abnormal situations in less than optimal conditions.

The group will be providing all the radios, antennas, and other equipment needed. Those who have their own equipment are free to bring it. There will be many extra class control operators on site, so those who are interested in ham radio, but have no license yet, can join and operate. The group is also hosting a testing session Saturday at 9 a.m., so preregister for that if interested.

Throughout the weekend there will be radio tutorials and many learning opportunities. We plan to operate/demonstrate many modes including SSB, CW (Morse Code), APRS, PSK31, NTS radiogram traffic, satellite contacts, etc. All activities are family friendly, so bring them along.

For directions and all other information related to the 4x4 Ham Field Day site, go online to http://www.4x4ham.com/forumdisplay.php?54-4x4Ham-Field-Day

SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN

Something to make moviegoers happy

BY ANDY MCKINNEY MOVIE REVIEWER

We all know the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. Believe me, this is not your father’s Snow White and the sweet, goofy dwarves are nowhere in sight. This is a fastpaced action flick based closely on the traditional tale, but with a lot of extra plot stuffed in. And it works, thanks to goodness; it already seems like forever since the Avengers started off the summer season.

Some of the other recent big budget films just didn’t work well enough to justify their gy-normous production costs.

Two young people that the movie audiences already appreciate star as Snow White and the Huntsman — Kristen Stewart from the Twilight series, who comes to this film with hordes of fans, and Chris Hemsworth, recently starred as the Norse god Thor, a young man who has a good career ahead of him as the new hunk of Hollywood. Hemsworth plays a troubled, even suicidal, widower who is tasked with retrieving Snow White from the deep dark woods. He grows his character believably, he fights athletically and has the right touch of humor fed to him by the excellent writing team.

Stewart however seems to have the ability to

show confused concern, but little else. Often the ingénue is not given the heavy lifting acting-wise in a film, which works to her advantage. She does photograph well and director Rupert Sanders does a credible job of filming around her.

The big acting credits go to the enormously talented and lovely Charlize Theron as the deeply, darkly evil queen. She scared the daylights out of me. This is a combination of her fine talent backed up by fabulous special effects. The combination allows us to see a being — she is hardly human when we meet her after living 20 normal lives — both irresistibly beautiful and horribly, sickeningly evil.

And there are the dwarves — Bob Hoskins and Ray Winstone lead a band of full-sized English actors portraying the dwarves. Movie magic makes them just as convincing as real little people and the quality of the acting is much improved.

Director Rupert Sanders is known for his videos and commercials. This is his first time as a full-length movie director. That may explain why each frame is so packed with information.

He is used to grabbing the attention of the viewer and not letting it go. This is not just a function CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS

LET’S RIDE THE TRAIN There was a time when trains traveled the length and breadth of the United States. These were the likes of Superchief, Broadway Limited, 20th Century Limited, Sunset Limited, North Coast Limited, California Zephyr, City of Los Angeles, Daylight and so many more. The hey-day for American trains was from 1945 through 1960. This was a period when American railroads put into service new and streamlined lightweight equipment. The trains were the finest on rails.

By the end of the 1960s people were doing more cross-country travel by automobile and aircraft and trains had lost much of their business. Trains were becoming KEN BROOKS shabby and were not well maintained. Finally, in 1971 the government took over U.S. passenger train service — calling it AMTRAK. They had to use and try and fix some of the old equipment left to them by the various railroads. For many years train travel was not the best in the United States. Equipment was often breaking down and the rails were often in a state of disrepair.

Over the years the government has funded a fairly decent amount of newer rail car equipment as well as engines and today train travel is quite nice again.

Trains that are currently running make for a very nice “land cruise” experience.

We do not yet have much in the way of high-speed trains with the exception of the Northeast Corridor from Washington, D.C. to New York and Boston.

These are known as Acela trains and have special rail cars and electric engines and travel at 125 mph over some of the track. You can travel from Washington, D.C. to New York in two hours, 50 minutes. The standard trains in America can move at only 79 mph top speed.

Our current “name trains” mostly carry Superliner equipment that give passengers a very comfortable ride, very nice coach cars, lounge cars, dining cars and the Pullmans contain private rooms of various sizes with some providing private showers and toilets. Food in the diners is often cooked to order now, which makes it even better.

I can’t remember a more pleasant experience than sitting in a train diner looking out at the fastmoving scenery and eating a fine meal. I hope to do it again sometime soon.

Where can you travel on AMTRAK? Up and down the Pacific Coast from San Diego to Seattle for instance. Take the Starlight out of Los Angeles and go to Seattle. This journey will take two days and one night on the train. The Starlight is one of AMTRAK’s best trains with the finest equipment they own. Be aware that first class on trains today is quite expensive, but the experience is worth the money in my opinion.

After a couple days in Seattle and the surrounding area, board the Empire Builder and travel through the northern Rockies to Minneapolis and ending in Chicago. From there you can continue on to New York or return to the West on the Southwest Chief, which stops in Flagstaff.

If you wish, you can book a train tour that can take you back to the golden era of luxury train travel with dining cars set with fine linen and crystal and observation cars offering panoramic views. Train tours roll through some of the world’s most spectacular landscapes.

On some of the itineraries passengers stay onboard the train overnight. You settle into your private room, which is comfortable and elegantly outfit-

ted. While you sleep the train moves on to the next stop.

Other train tours travel only during daylight hours and stop late in the day to disembark passengers, which are checked into hotels for overnight stays.

The next day, passengers re-board the train and continue their journey.

Classic train vacations include the Canadian Rockies on the Rocky Mountaineer, Glacier National Park on AMTRAK, Mexico’s Copper Canyon, the Royal Scotsman in Scotland, and the Blue Train in South Africa.

Alaska has some great rail adventures, which are operated by several cruise lines as well as the Alaska Railroad. You can board a cruise ship in either Seattle or Vancouver for a week’s cruise through the Inland Passage or even further north to Anchorage, the board a train to travel through the wild country of Alaska to national parks where you can view nature up close.

How much are train tours? First class train tours typically range from $80 to $350 per day. Deluxe train tours range from $200 to $650 per day.

Overseas you can book China to Russia by private train: Trans Mongolian Adventures, China and Tibet, The Roof of the World, and the Trans-Siberian Express are examples of the rail trips available.

The British Isles are good for rail trips and train

tours as well, as is Europe in general.

A good train specialist travel agent can assist you as well as going to the Internet and finding many train adventures available. There are literally hundreds of train tours operating this year.

It’s also a lot of fun to plan a train trip through the U.S. and Canada. Soon, I want to take the Starlight up the Pacific Coast to Seattle and Vancouver, then board the VIA Rail Canadian and cross Canada to Toronto. It takes four days.

The Canadian has been totally refurbished and I understand it is like new again.

You travel through the Canadian Rockies on through the prairie to Toronto. You can then train home on U.S. trains. This would really be a land cruise. You could have your private room with shower and toilet and relax and view the scenery. You could dine on the fine food in the diners. Leave the driving to the train engineers. What a way to see the country.

For additional information contact AMTRAK at 1800-THE TRAIN or call 1-800-478-4881 and request a complete list of rail tours from the International Railway Traveler.

Another agency specializing in rail travel is Accent On Travel at 1-800-347-0645.

After one train vacation, you will want to plan another. All aboard!

RIM HISTORY RIM HISTORY RIM COUNTRY HISTORY | TIM EHRHARDT

THE 1961 ROBERTS FIRE In 1961 this region was hit by two significant wildfires, both of which had fatalities, and both of which were located in the heart of the area Zane Grey frequented.

The Roberts Fire was human caused and started June 15, 1961. Just after it was brought under control, lightning started the Hatchery Fire.

Let’s focus though on the Roberts Fire, with some new details picked up at the National Archives in Denver.

In my book “Zane Grey’s Forgotten Ranch: Tales from the Boles Homestead,” I state TIM EHRHARDT that the Roberts Fire was caused by loggers working in the area. I probably had picked up this information from Ralph Fisher, a noted writer at the time who spent a lot of time in that area of the region.

Yet I now know that this fire was investigated and that they never conclusively found the loggers to be the cause. There was an investigation and the loggers were found innocent.

Let’s take a closer look at the details of the fire.

According to a Forest Service trespass report, the Roberts Fire was discovered around 11:30 a.m. by a log loading crew of Kaibab Lumber.

Approximately 10 minutes later, lookouts at Diamond Point and Colcord reported the fire.

The Kaibab loggers attacked the fire and by 12:30 p.m. a helitack was made. Unfortunately, the drought index was at 98 and by 1 p.m. the rate of spread was 40.

Forestencyclopedia.net defines rate of spread as “the horizontal distance that the flame zone moves per unit of time (feet per minute).” The fire quickly seemed to get out of control.

The following day, as the fire marched eastward, tragedy struck. Ralph Fisher described what happened in the May 30, 1979 Payson

Roundup.

“For young Chuck Cochrane, a career pilot with better than 3,000 hours of flying time behind him, it was his fifth and final mission of the day. He gunned for altitude ... suddenly his radio of the old TBM took voice and asked if he knew that his engine was on fire. “‘Yes, I am aware!’ reported the worried flyer.

“Suddenly the engine stuttered, coughed, stuttered again.

“Then the TBM cleared a low hill to the south and vanished at a sickening diminishing speed. I turned to gaze into the dense cloud of smoke watching another guided tanker bomb its target. I failed to see the beauty of the vivid sunset in the west ... I failed to see the TBM rise over the ridges that would have assured a safe flight.

“It took nearly two hours to locate the scene of the crash. Crushed in a patch of oak, juniper and pine was the torn and burning remains of the ‘Turkey.’ Broken wings embraced the wildflowers on the hillside. The big sail-like red and white tailing clinging to the giant pine tree like the broken kite of the lad next door.”

The Roberts Fire ultimately burned over 2,000 acres. A perimeter map of the fire from the National Archives accompanies this article. It should be noted that the base map is an older map — probably out of the 1930s, as Norton was long gone from the homestead at the left edge of the fire (today’s Mead Ranch). The “Timber Road” is roughly today’s FR 29 and was not made a main line road until the 1970s. This is the first perimeter map that I’ve been able to find of any of these old fires, and it was found at the National Archives Denver office as part of the investigative report.

The Hatchery Fire followed on the heels of the Roberts Fire in 1961 and resulted in two fatalities: Art Goodnow and Constantine Kodz, who were providing aerial support on the fire. It was a deadly time in the region.

Snow White a success FROM PAGE 4

of speed, but also of putting so much into each scene that the viewer is fully engaged in just assimilating everything offered.

He was expertly assisted by production designer Dominic Watkins (The Bourne Supremacy), who builds a fully realized world for his actors to inhabit.

Big snaps also go out to three-time Oscar winner Colleen Atwood (Alice in Wonderland) for costume design.

This four saw blade winner runs seven minutes over two hours.

The PG-13 (violence, blackest of black magic) film was made with what seems to be a modest budget of $170 million.

When the producers make moviegoers happy, the moviegoers make the producers financially happy. Every time it happens I am reminded just how much I love the movies.

Pixar is coming soon with Brave and both Spiderman and Batman will also visit this summer.

Farmers Market humming with hummus Shoppers return for home-grown goods, jams with a kick

BY MICHELE NELSON

ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

Trundling past its first hiccup of the new season, the Payson Farmers Market bustled last Saturday with shoppers, vendors, music and tiny ponies.

“Our largest farmer canceled today because of a death in the family,” said Lorian Roethlein. “He takes up three stalls.”

Usually Lorian and her husband, John, would have to handle the issue by themselves, but their partnership with Katie and Joe Klein has allowed them to relax.

“It feels like we’ve left our child in the hands of a really good babysitter,” said John. Despite the significant cancellation, the Roethleins had time to head home after setup to get their bikes and ride to the market.

The Kleins stayed and moved vendors around to make the market look full, despite the hole left by the cancellation. No one could tell the difference.

Katie has diversified and added merchants to the market mix. More farmers have set up shop allowing visitors more options for fresh veggies and fruits. This week, a vendor sells olive oils, another has canned veggies, across the way hummus and dips are offered, and a divine café with healthy salads and crème Brule.

Some of these sellers come every week, some come only during the holidays, and others rotate into the mix on a regular basis.

For the sweet tooth, Katie’s mother makes jams with a pepper kick, three bakeries offer some of the best baked goods around, a gluten-free Italian foods stall and Scoop’s ice cream allow shoppers immediate refreshment to go along with their purchase of veggies.

Each week, a different body care and Rim Country artist rotates into the mix.

The market always changes, but runs smoothly — especially with the addition of Katie.

Her specialty is organization. Katie used to work for Starbucks training employees all over the west. The way the market hums shows off her talent.

Yet it takes a firm hand.

“I’ve had numerous artists from the Valley apply to sell at the Market, but I have to say ‘no,’” said Katie.

A policy of the Payson Farmers Market is to only allow Rim Country artists to sell their merchandise.

Phoenix farmers market vendors have started looking

to Payson because the hot weather in the Valley has affected sales — no one wants to go outside to shop.

Not so in Payson. Walking the length of the market, the Kleins and Roethleins constantly stop to say hello to friends. Groups of locals cluster about the place. The atmosphere feels festive.

With the water table and pony rides, Katie has turned the Payson Farmers Market into a truly family affair. As a mom, she wanted to make sure other parents had plenty for the children to do.

The water table sits near the stage with covered seating for adults nearby. Children bunch around the table eager to get their hands in the water and play at pouring it into different containers.

“The water table has had a learning curve,” said John. This is the first year for this experiment. Last week, the Roethleins and Kleins added chalk to the mix.

They quickly discovered the kids made colored mud.

“We won’t add chalk to the water table again,” said John.

At the back of the market, tiny ponies with miniature saddles take kids on a ride. Music constantly floats through the crowd adding a pleasant background to the shopping. Each week, the Payson Farmers Market has a new musical artist.

“I try to come here every week to see what’s new,” said local Linda Teasley.

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

Ways to control irregular heartbeat DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Last fall, my heart started to jump around, and I took it that I had palpitations, although I wasn’t sure what palpitations were. It turns out I had atrial fibrillation. Since then, I have been on many medicines for the atrial fibrillation plus Coumadin, a blood thinner. The Coumadin requires frequent trips to the lab. I have a hard time getting around.

I don’t drive. My doctor suggests ablation. What are your thoughts? — H.M. ANSWER: Atrial fibrillation is in either first or second place when it comes to heart questions. It means the heart beats rapidly and irregularly. The rapid heart pumps less effectively, and the irregular beat promotes the formation of blood clots in the upper heart chambers. Those clots, or pieces of them, can be carried through the circulation to the brain, where they cause a stroke.

Treatment for atrial fibrillation aims to slow the heart, get it to beat regularly and prevent clots from forming if a regular rhythm cannot be attained.

Medicines sometimes can both slow the heart and restore a normal rhythm. If a normal rhythm is not achieved, the patient will still do well if the heart beats slowly. That patient, however, must add to his or her

treatment a blood thinner like Coumadin to prevent clots and a stroke.

Your doctor has suggested a way to restore a regular beat — ablation. A heart doctor inches a special catheter — a thin, pliable tube — from a surface blood vessel to the heart. The catheter is equipped to emit radio waves, which make a series of scars to prevent the generation of erratic signals that spawn atrial fib.

The result, when the procedure is effective, is a normal, regular heartbeat. The patient can then kiss Coumadin goodbye. My thoughts are that it’s worth serious consideration.

You can also get rid of Coumadin by switching to Pradaxa, a blood thinner that doesn’t require lab testing. It’s new and is somewhat expensive.

The booklet on heartbeat irregularities explains atrial fibrillation in detail. To order a copy, write to: Dr. Donohue — No. 107W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 328536475. 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: I’m a 34-year-old male and am going bald. What is your opinion on hair trans-

plants? Do they last? How successful are they? — L.K. ANSWER: Male hair loss occurs because male hormones shrivel hair follicles, the home for each hair. The hair thins, is shorter and falls out well before its time.

Sensitivity to this male hormone action is genetically programmed, and in some men, it takes place at young ages.

Have you considered using minoxidil, which is applied to the scalp, or finasteride, an oral medicine?

Hair transplantation works well. The hair is taken from the back of the head, where hair follicles have a long life. It’s very successful.

It would be wise to check with a doctor to see if your hair loss really is something you inherited, or if it’s a sign of something else.

Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

COVER STORY | ALEXIS BECHMAN

“Nothing has come close to the peace I found floating on an inflatable lime green paddleboard,” said Roundup reporter Alexis Bechman.

STILL WATERS

Paddleboarding experience leads to unknown peace

I have tried calming my chi with yogis. I carry a yoga mat in my car. I have learned how to sit motionless for hours, and I even have an app on my Kindle that guides me through calming meditational scenes.

But nothing has come close to the peace I found floating on an inflatable lime green paddleboard.

It came riding over the glassy still waters of Roosevelt Lake on a full moon night, not a fishing boat in sight, the air velvety warm and my only companions the bass jumping for bugs and a rising gold moon.

I felt so comfortable, I even put down my paddle, which also doubled as my “oh no, I am going to fall” balance stick and lay on the cool top of the board, letting my legs dangle in the water and the breeze carry me freely.

The only anxiety I had centered on if Luna would make her appearance before it got too dark to find shore. I was counting on her reflection to serve as a trail.

Although we had driven to the lake to watch the moon explicitly, I soon found myself enjoying the ride in the darkness all the same.

I did not have to deploy any of the breathing techniques I had learned, I did not have to worry if I was doing “it” right. With the water cradling me, a planetarium show above, I melted away.

Only the nibble of some fish lips on my big toe brought me back.

My paddleboarding guru, Jimmy Carson, owner of Jimmy’s Stand-up Paddleboarding — or SUP, as it is known, said that meditative calm is what drives him nearly every day after work to make the hour-long drive to some body of water in Rim Country and paddle away the day’s troubles.

When I met Carson, just a mere 12 hours earlier in my cubicle at work, however, he did not strike me as the calmest person.

With smile lines etched in his face, a wild glow in his CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

The first lesson in paddleboarding is learning how to get on and off the board without getting your feet wet.

Paddleboarding is similar to kayaking, but only requires six inches of water.

eyes and a garrulous nature, he came off more as a motivational speaker with a great tan. While I was on board almost immediately for a paddleboarding excursion, it would take all of Carson’s persuasion skills to get my co-workers to relent. Jimmy had tried unsuccessfully for months, no less, to get my editor to try it. I guess trusting a 10-foot-long nylon rig to carry your weight and your jitters is not as enticing for some.

After listing to Carson, 55, pitch the wonders of the sport — its low impact, you get a good workout, you can go places boats cannot access — his clear passion sold everyone.

“I can’t even tell you in words,” he said. “Your mind will go into a different world. You’ll forget your work, everything, and if you don’t forget, you fall in the water.”

Claims like these seemed promising, especially coming from Carson, a proverbial handyman around town.

Anyone with the patience to fix a leaky faucet I figured is the most likely to successfully teach me how to stand up on a paddleboard.

First, Carson said it is important to learn how to get on and off the board without getting your feet wet.

“You are never going to touch the water. We will go from the board to the ground, the ground to the board and can do the whole lake and you will never touch water.”

That way you can ride anytime of the year. Alice, Carson’s fiancée, I learned had figured out how to keep her $200 Ugg boots dry during their chillier outings in February.

For everyone else, it means you do not have to wear a bathing suit to try out the sport.

This last fact sold my other co-worker, Michele, on the idea.

Sport requires concentration but provides escape FROM PAGE 9

After getting our feet wet, or rather dry, with the basics, we were off to explore.

Unfortunately, Michele soon became only the second person to fall off a board since Carson started the business in March.

It all happened randomly (starting the business, not Michele’s fall. That happened when she ran ashore).

After watching paddleboarders on television, a friend of Carson’s decided to buy a board.

“We went to Apache Lake and tried it and we have never stopped since then,” he said. “I started it in May last year and now I have more than 800 hours on the board.”

A native of Peru, Carson said he has tried nearly every water sport, but found paddleboarding offers something different.

“It is very similar to kayaking,” he said. “We used to be kayakers, but once we tried this, no more. The difference is kayaks are heavy and you have to sit the whole time.”

Carson started the paddleboarding business not because he had some grand plan, but because people kept asking him if they could try it.

In Arizona, you do not see many paddleboarders.

The sport has been widely popular in coastal communities. You cannot visit a Hawaiian cove without spotting a few paddleboarders of all ages and skill levels. Arizonans, however, have largely been loyal to boats.

Carson’s custom trailer, which holds eight paddleboards behind his Volvo, stands out in a crowded parking lot of fishing boat trailers.

Curious glances, however, precede free ride inquiries.

“I had six to eight people asking me a day and so I thought, ‘Hey, I am going to start a business.’”

Entrepreneurial jumps like this have paid off for Carson before.

In the 1980s, he brought a paddle ball game from Peru to the shores of San Diego. While playing the game with friends, a crowd would always grow and people would ask where they could buy the paddles.

Eventually, Carson figured out no one else was making the boards, and so he started constructing them. The business grew and, years later, he closed it to start his repair service.

When Carson needed a break or even a good workout from work, paddleboarding offered the escape.

Because the sport is easy to pick up, riders are quickly paddling sitting down, kneeling or even sitting in a chair.

Carson says he even does sit-ups and pushups while on the board. There is even paddleboarding yoga.

“It is great because the concentration is even more on the board,” he said. “You can do yoga, fish, take photos, have lunch or take a nap while floating on the board. You can also go ashore anywhere you want and rest, have a picnic or explore the shoreline.”

Because Carson can go anywhere with at least six inches of water, he often surprises the wildlife.

“I scare a lot of bass. They are sunning themselves near the shore and I scare them and they scare me.”

Zoning out is easy when you realize how stable the board is, he said.

“When I go on the board, it is just complete forget the world and enjoy.”

For a man who has canoed the Amazon River, hiked in the jungle and swum with piranha, his favorite activity is also now the easiest.

“Out of my whole life, for as how much I have been around water, and I have a house on the beach in Mexico, I was raised in Peru, all my friends are surfers, and until last year, I have not enjoyed water

in my life as much as I do now.”

Back on Roosevelt Lake, just as I thought about turning back to shore, a thin, brilliant line rose from behind Black Mesa, setting a fire in the sky.

Yards away I heard “ohs” and “ahs” from my fellow paddleboarding coworkers, but paid no mind, soaking in the moment of the moon.

LEARN MORE ABOUT SUP For more information or to reserve a board, call (928) 474-6482.

Carson offers first-time lessons starting at $30 per person for two-hours; all day board rentals for $40 and tours of area lakes. A tour of Willow Springs or Woods Canyon Lake runs $55 and tours of Roosevelt, Apache or Blue Ridge Lake start at $75.

Carson will soon be teaming up with Desert Splash Seaplane Adventures to offer paddleboarding lessons on Roosevelt Lake. Desert Splash currently runs airplane tours of out of Scottsdale that include flying over the Apache Trail and landing an amphibious seaplane at the lake near Haystack Island.

The owners of the air tour business ran into Carson by chance one afternoon after both groups landed at the island at nearly the same time.

Carson offered to let Desert Splash passengers try their hand on the boards and a new business venture was born.

120 Vein contents 121 Bell and Barker

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Be prepared to face some challenges stirred up by an envious colleague. Your best defense is the Arian’s innate honesty. Stick with the truth, and you’ll come out ahead.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your sensitivity to the needs of others is admirable. But be careful to avoid those who would take unfair advantage of your good nature, especially where money is involved.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Having an optimistic attitude is fine, as far as it goes. But don’t be lulled into a false sense of confidence. There are still problems to deal with before you can totally relax.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might feel somewhat “crabby,” as you fuss over plans that don’t seem to work out. Maybe you’re trying too hard. Ease up and let things happen without forcing them.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Heed that keen Leonine instinct. It’s trying to tell you to delay making a decision until you’re sure there are no hidden problems that could cause trouble later on.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is a good time to reach out to those who might be nursing hurt feelings over recent events. Best advice: Ignore any pettiness that could delay the healing process.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your understanding helps a colleague get through a difficult period. Although you didn’t do it for a reward, be assured that your actions will be repaid down the line.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You score some high marks in the workplace, which will count in your favor when you face the possibility of changing direction on your current career path.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Your goal lies straight ahead. Stay focused on it and avoid distractions that could throw off your aim and cause potentially detrimental delays.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Keep that burst of exuberance in check and resist pushing through your new project before it’s ready. In your personal life, a family member again needs help.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Paying attention to your work is important this week. But so are your relationships with those special people in your life. Make time for them as well.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Good news. Someone is about to repay a long-standing debt.

But be warned. That same someone could try to charm you into lending it back unless you say no and mean it.

BORN THIS WEEK: You are sensitive to matters that involve your home and family.

You would make a fine family-court judge or social worker. © 2012 King Features Syndicate, Inc.
