Another interesting site is the Riordan Mansion at 1300 Riordan State Park. The two brothers and their wives who began the logging industry in Flagstaff built the mansion in 1904. The interior has more than 13,000 square feet with 40 rooms, stained glass windows, and unique window transparencies created by Jack Hillers.

Where to eat? Phone the Flagstaff Convention and Visitors Bureau at (520) 774-4505 for ideas. Restaurants seem to come and go and the bureau will have a list of the current eateries.

We have stayed at Little America twice and found the rooms to be nice and food good. Other locations include the Best Western Woodlands Plaza and Quality Suites.

There is a fine selection of bed and breakfast homes from which you can choose if that’s your style.

Flagstaff is home to Northern Arizona University, now with more than 20,000

students. Railroad tracks run through town allowing much freight to travel through from coast to coast. AMTRAK is also available here. The station is right downtown.

Trains from Los Angeles stop on their way to Chicago and east in both directions.

You will find shopping malls, fun stores and a great bookstore.

An interesting side trip out of Flagstaff is a visit to the Meteor Crater. Take the I-40 east toward Winslow and 20 miles before you reach Winslow is the crater.

It was formed 20,000, B.C. when a meteoric mass traveling 33,000 mph from space struck earth. The impact, blasting nearly a half billion tons of rock from the surface, destroyed all plant and animal life within 100 miles. The Apollo astronauts for training before their first moon flight used the perfectly preserved crater. It measures 3,150 feet from rim to rim, is more than 3 miles in circumference, and is 470 feet deep. This is a privately owned park and very well run.

We will feature more short trips soon.

Wandering the world of books OK — I admit it — I am excited about the Payson Book Festival taking place next month. Could you tell? I asked for a bigger Rim Review than normal in order to give readers as much information about it as possible a month in advance of the event.

I love books and reading — I cannot remember a time when I didn’t. My mother is probably most responsible. According to family mythology when she would take me for my baby check-ups, she would

read to me from the magazines in the doctor’s waiting room.

I don’t know when I started reading, but I remember a big book of fairy tales and nursery rhymes. I could read from it to my little sister before I was in first grade.

I also remember my father getting us a set of encyclopedias during my earliest years in school.

IN THE KITCHEN | TERESA MCQUERREY

Sensational summer flavors for your 4th of July fun trace your ancestry to Mexico or Spain or have no familial connection to Hispanic culture, chances are you enjoy some foods that do trace their origins to one of the world’s many Spanish-speaking countries.

Though simple, tacos are a favorite food for many people regardless of their heritage. Those who enjoy this much-loved Mexican dish can try their hand at the following recipe for “Grilled Carne Asada Tacos” courtesy of Kelley Cleary Coffeen’s “200 Easy Mexican Recipes” (Robert Rose).

It’s hot. Too hot to cook — inside. So, go outside and celebrate the sensational flavors of summer.

Here are a few recipes to try for your Fourth of July festivities or any sultry summer night supper.

SUMMER PERFECT SALAD

Summer grilling season is here and grillmasters everywhere are dusting off their skills to entertain friends and family members. In addition to traditional backyard barbecue fare, hosts who want to give their guests something a little lighter may want to consider the following recipe for “Watermelon Salad” from Laurey Masterton’s “The Fresh Honey Cookbook” (Storey Publishing).

GRILLED CARNE ASADA TACOS MARINADE

WATERMELON SALAD

4 cups watermelon cut into large chunks 1⁄2 cup crumbled feta cheese 1⁄2 cup pitted Kalamata olives 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil Fresh mint leaves For a buffet presentation, just before serving, arrange the watermelon chunks on a large, flat platter.

Top with the cheese and olives. Drizzle with the olive oil and garnish with the mint. For individual plates, just make smaller versions the same way. Serves 4.

THE TIME HAS COME FOR GRILLMASTERS TO GEAR UP

While standard fare like hot dogs and hamburgers may suffice for backyard barbecues with lots of friends and family, when the party is smaller, grillmasters may want to up their games and try their hands at something new. Tri tip steak is cut from the bottom of the sirloin and is popular on the West Coast of the United States, but this cut, which is suited to marinating and rubbing, can be enjoyed anywhere.

Those who want to give tri tip steak a shot may find it sold as bottom sirloin roast in their local grocery store or butcher shop. But once you find the right cut, the following recipe for “Grilled Tri Tip With Black Olive Aioli” courtesy of Bill Niman and Janet Fletcher’s “The Niman Ranch Cookbook” (Wiley) is sure to please you and your guests the next time you fire up the grill.

GRILLED TRI TIP WITH BLACK OLIVE AIOLI

1 tri tip steak, 2-1⁄2 pounds 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves, chopped 1 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper 1⁄4 cup finely chopped pitted oil-cured black olives 1 cup aioli (see below) 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt Cayenne pepper Place the steak in a small, nonreactive baking dish.

Combine the olive oil, rosemary and black pepper in a small bowl and stir well. Rub the mixture evenly over the tri tip. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours.

Remove the tri tip from the refrigerator 1-1⁄2 hours before cooking.

Prepare and light a charcoal grill for direct cooking.

Add the olives to the aioli and season with cayenne.

Serves 4 to 6.

When the grill is at its hottest (when the coals are red and glowing and it’s too hot to hold your hand over the grill for more than a couple of seconds), remove the tri tip from the marinade, wipe off any excess marinade, and season on both sides with sea salt. Place the steak on the cooking grate directly over the coals, cover the grill, and cook, turning once, for about 20

minutes, or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 130 degrees for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes.

Cut the tri tip into thin slices across the grain and arrange on a platter. Serve with aioli.

AIOLI

1 small clove garlic 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice 2 egg yolks 1 cup olive oil To make by hand, chop the garlic and salt together on a cutting board until a paste forms. Transfer to a deep mixing bowl and wrap a damp towel around the base of the bowl to keep it from sliding around the counter as you work. Whisk in the mustard, lemon juice and egg yolks. While whisking continuously and vigorously, add the olive oil in a slow, thin, steady stream until all of it has been incorporated and the mixture is thick and completely emulsified.

To make the aioli in a food processor, place the garlic and salt in the work bowl and process to chop as finely as possible. Add the mustard and lemon juice and pulse to combine. Add the egg yolks and, with the motor running, add the olive oil in a slow, thin, steady stream until all of it has been incorporated and the mixture is thick and completely emulsified.

Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours until needed. Makes about 1 cup.

STUFFED BURGERS CAN STAR AT YOUR BARBECUE

3 tablespoons herbed garlic cream cheese, such as Boursin 6 hamburger buns, split Oil for coating grill grate THE GRILL

Gas: Direct heat, medium-high 425 degrees to 450 degrees; clean, oiled grate Charcoal: Direct heat, light ash; 12-inchby-12-inch charcoal bed (about 3 dozen coals); clean, oiled grate on lowest setting Wood: Direct heat, light ash; 12-inch-by12-inch bed, 3 to 4 inches deep; clean, oiled grate set 2 inches above the fire 1. Heat the grill as directed.

2. Using your hands, mix the beef, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well blended; don’t overmix.

Using a light touch, form into 12 patties no more than 1/2-inch thick.

3. Put a portion (about 1-1/2 teaspoons) of cream cheese in the center of each of the 6 patties; top with the remaining patties and press together, taking care to seal the edges well. Refrigerate the burgers until the grill is ready.

4. Brush the grill grate and coat it with oil. Put the burgers on the grill, cover and cook for 9 minutes, flipping after 5 minutes, for medium-done (150 degrees, slightly pink). Add a minute per side for well-done (160 degrees).

5. To toast the buns, put them cut-sides down directly over the fire for the last minute of cooking.

6. If serving the burgers directly from the grill, serve on the buns. If the burgers will sit, even for a few minutes, keep the buns and burgers separate until just before eating.

Makes 6 servings.

No backyard barbecue is complete without burgers. But just because burgers are a staple of such gatherings does not mean grillmasters cannot experiment with their burger recipes. Stuffed burgers are growing in popularity at restaurants across the country, but such delectable dishes can be enjoyed right in the comforts of your own backyard. Those who want to give burgers some new life at their next barbecue can use the following recipe for “Herb CheeseStuffed Garlic Burgers” from Andrew Schloss and David Joachim’s “Mastering the Grill” (Chronicle Books).

PICO DE GALLO

4 tomatoes, seeded and diced 4 green onions, green parts only, minced 3 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced 2 serrano chile peppers, seeded and minced 1 onion, finely chopped 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro Juice of 2 limes Kosher salt In a large bowl, combine tomatoes, green onions, jalapenos, serrano chiles, onion and cilantro. Add lime juice and mix well. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour or for up to 24 hours. Add salt to taste just before serving.

Makes 2 cups.

GO OFF THE GRILL GRID FOR UNIQUE FLAVOR

Sardines may not be the first food to come to mind when dreaming up images of grilled delicacies. But while hot dogs and hamburgers have their place at any backyard barbecue, those looking to veer off course and try something new the next time they fire up their grills can try the following recipe for “Sardinas Asadas (Grilled Sardines With Grilled Lemon Vinaigrette)” from James Campbell Caruso’s “España: Exploring the Flavors of Spain” (Gibbs Smith).

SARDINAS ASADAS

HERB CHEESE-STUFFED GARLIC BURGERS

This the Bible, giving us a firsthand picture and is an age old question that many have tried acknowledgment of His identity and work to figure out, investigate, research and still on earth. debate about to this day. For centuries this What does Jesus say about Himself?

JESUS IS HOLY God is absolutely and perfectly holy.

As God, Jesus embodied every element of God’s character. Paul writes to those in the town of Colossi who Christ is “For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form.” In Hebrews, the author also speaks of Jesus, “For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin.” Peter tells us, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”

JESUS IS OUR SAVIOR Which asks the question, “What does one need saving from?” That is a valid question to ask and the author of Romans tells us, “as it is written, ‘There is none righteous, not even one; There is none who understands, There is none who seeks for God; All have turned aside, together they have become useless; There is none who does good, There is not even one.’” Luke tells us that, “And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.”

JESUS IS OUR LORD! Most importantly, Jesus is OUR Lord. The Bible clearly reveals that Jesus has complete supreme authority over all and we owe Him absolute allegiance, obedience, and worship. John tells us that, “All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.” [1] Paul tells us in Colossians that “For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or

authorities — all things have been created through Him and for Him.” If you have yet to follow Christ as your Lord, I invite you — Jesus invites you … would you please stop and make the time, take the time right now to ask Jesus OUR Lord into your life to become YOUR Lord?

PRAYER: Dear Lord, By reading this, I have learned that not only are You OUR Lord but I am asking you to come into my heart and be MY personal Lord. I admit that I need to turn away from actions, deeds, doings that offend your throne and your word yet I also confess that I cannot do that unless you take the lead and guide me by changing my heart, mind and soul. I seek to follow you and your word fully, completely and faithfully leading others to do the same.

Rim Country authors participating in the July 25 Payson Book Festival include Jayne Peace Pyle and Jinx Pyle, who are the Official Historians for the Town of Payson, but have written numerous books about the history of Rim Country (photo at left); and Dee “Buckshot Dot” Strickland, who will be performing at the event (above).

Beat the heat with books Payson Book Festival brings 60 authors to Rim Country The magnificent Rim Country is a magnet for creativity. Consider as evidence all the artists who make their homes here.

Look at all the local musicians the Concert Under the Stars series in Green Valley Park is featuring this summer.

Now we have a celebration of the men and women who breathe life into words. The first Payson Book Festival hosts 60 authors Saturday, July 25 at Gila Community College.

Organizers originally had hoped perhaps 30 would be interested.

The magnetic Rim Country strikes again.

Presented by the Arizona Professional Writers (APW) and Gila Community College (GCC), the festival is from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, July 25 at the college, 201 N. Mud Springs Road (turn north off E. Hwy. 260 across from the Payson Ranger Station).

Free to the public, the goal is to promote literacy and showcase authors from all around the Rim Country and throughout Arizona.

Members of the Rim Country District of APW (from Payson, Pine, Strawberry, etc.) started working on the festival in July 2014,

according to Carol Osman Brown, director of the Rim Country District of APW, a statewide nonprofit organization, and one of the event organizers.

“Connie Cockrell, a local writer and fairly new to Payson, came to an APW meeting and asked why Payson had never had a book festival.

We didn’t know for sure, but several of us became excited about this project (and Cockrell was made chair of the festival planning committee).”

A few APW members met with Pam Butterfield, Cockrell, anothdean of the Payson Connie er Rim Country writer, campus of GCC, was the instigator of the in August. She Payson Book Festival thought it would be and is chair of its small a great event for organizing committee. the community and offered to partner with APW and have the event on the campus, Osman Brown said.

The work to make the festival a reality included recruiting sponsors and a visit to the Sedona Book Festival to see what was involved.

Getting sponsors was a little difficult, Osman Brown said, but 17 are listed on the event flier, to be released in a couple of weeks. The goal was to cover the festival

expenses and have funds to donate for APW and GCC scholarships.

The small five-member organizing committee created a website, which “opened for business” in January; sent articles to writing groups and releases about the event and how to reserve a table.

“We originally figured on 30 writers and thought we would start with a small event.

“However, we had a flood of applications during March and April (April 30 was the cut-off) and we had a waiting list. We now have 60 authors from throughout the state participating,” Osman Brown said.

“We think this community celebration of books for all ages will attract more than 300 people from all parts of Arizona,” said Connie Cockrell, chair of the Payson Book Festival planning committee. She adds, “Visitors can meet 60 authors from throughout Arizona. They represent a wide variety of genres in both fiction and nonfiction. Authors will sign and sell books. In addition, there will be a full schedule of free author presentations and workshops.”

Families can enjoy food from local vendors, entertainment and door prizes at this new one-day event. Several local nonprofit groups will also have exhibits, including Gila County libraries and the Northern Gila County Historical Society.

Buckshot Dot, local author, poet and songwriter, will entertain with Western poetry and cowboy songs. Local duo, Kathleen Kelly and Jim West, better known

as the band Take Two, will provide western music.

Children can meet “Story Monster” and enjoy story time with nationally acclaimed children’s author Conrad Storad. He also will teach a Young Writer’s Workshop for kids ages 9 through 12. Storad, of Tempe, is the author or editor of more than 50 science and nature books for children and young adults.

Storad says that nonfiction stories should be fun. That’s exactly what he tries to do with each and every book that he writes for young readers.

Storad is an award-winning author, editor and science writer. He is the author of more than 50 science and nature books for children and young adults. His books have won many national awards.

His latest book, “Monster in the Rocks,” was published in 2014 by Bobolink Media.

The State Library of Arizona selected the new picture book to represent Arizona at the 2014 National Book Festival in Washington, D.C. “52 Great Reads” — a program sponsored by the Library of Congress and the National Center for the Book.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit local scholarship funds of APW and GCC. “Due to budget cuts, a growing number of schools cannot afford to sponsor author visits, so many children have never met an author in person. We want to foster a love CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

Festival aims to give literacy a lift

BY TERESA MCQUERREY RIM REVIEW EDITOR

The Rim Country is hosting 60 authors at the July 25 Payson Book Festival, presented by the Arizona Professional Writers and Gila Community College.

The festival’s major goals are to promote literacy and showcase Arizona authors.

The festival’s mission is to enhance the love of reading by providing a friendly environment that encourages personal interaction between Arizona authors and readers of all ages. The event takes place at the Payson campus of GCC, 201 N. Mud Springs Road (turn north off East Highway 260 across from the Payson Ranger Station).

To that end children will have an opportunity to meet “Story Monster” and enjoy story time with Conrad J. Storad, author of 50 children’s books based on nature and science. He also will offer a Young Writers Workshop for 9- to 12-year-olds.

Story Monster is a green, huggable, book-crazy beast that lives at Five Star Publications, Inc. in Chandler, Ariz., and encourages kids to read and write their own stories. His magazine, Story Monsters Ink, along with the Story Monster Approved! awards program are just two of the many ways the friendly, four-eyed creature shares excitement about reading around the world.

The first 100 families who visit the Five Star Publications booth during the Payson Book Festival will receive a “greenie bag” from Story Monster.

Linda F. Radke, president of Five Star Publications, Inc. has been a member of APW for more than 20 years.

“Many children haven’t met an author in person, nor realize that they, too, can become authors,” Radke said.

Sherry Engler, wife of Payson Police Chief Don Engler, will be part of the Payson Book Festival. She wrote “Living With LEO” about her life as the wife and mother of law enforcement officers.

of reading by providing a friendly environment that encourages personal interaction between Arizona authors and readers of all ages,” Osman Brown said.

“It takes a community of readers, writers and volunteers to launch a new book festival. We thank our major event sponsor, the Payson Roundup, and other sponsors including Gila County and KMOG Radio, organizations and individuals who are helping us make this dream a reality for Payson. We hope that Rim Country residents will invite their friends and family in other parts of Arizona to attend the Payson Book Festival on July 25,” she added.

Author tables can be found in and around the GCC community room. Special author presentations are from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in GCC Room 401.

Programs in the student lounge include: 9:30 a.m., Conrad Storad, children’s author and Story Time with “Story Monster”; 10:30 a.m., Buckshot Dot with western poetry and cowboy songs; 11:30 a.m. workshop with Conrad Storad, Young People’s Writing for children ages 9 to 12; 12:30 p.m., workshop with Pete Aleshire, Payson Roundup editor, getting

publicity for your book; 1:30 p.m., Conrad Storad, children’s author, Story Time with “Story Monster.”

The event will feature food vendors in the GCC courtyard, along with entertainment by Take Two (Kathleen Kelly and Jim West).

Vendors scheduled to participate are The Sweet Shoppe, Scoops Ice Cream & Espresso and Santana’s Carne Asada.

Other sponsors helping the APW and GCC present the Payson Book Festival include: top shelf sponsors Gila County and KMOG; third shelf sponsor KRIM; second shelf sponsors State Farm – Santana Insurance Agency, Inc., Mogollon Health Alliance and PostNet; first shelf sponsors SmartSystems, Inc., Payson Eye Care, The Computer Guys USA, Majestic Rim Retirement Living, Alan and Starr Thieme, Rim Country Health, Star Valley Veterinary Clinic, Sawmill Theatres, Miller Auto Works and Anderson Dental Group.

Sponsors are still welcome to help support the Payson Book Festival.

THE IMPORTANCE OF LITERACY TO SUCCESS

Research shows that children who are solid readers perform better in school and become lifelong learners. Yet many lack the motivation to read because they don’t see their parents reading for

pleasure. Often there are no books, magazines or newspapers in the home. Many parents report they are too busy to read to their children. These factors can severely hinder a child’s success in school.

Parents cheer on small children as they learn to read picture books, but when they learn to read independently, parents tend to be less involved.

According to Lisa Holton, former president of Scholastic Book Fairs, “As kids get older, the role parents play changes. We found that not only do parents need to be reading role models, but that they must play a key role in helping their older children select books that capture their imagination and interest.”

Author Jordan Shapiro, wrote an interesting article, “Kids Don’t Read Books Because Parents Don’t Read Books,” which appeared in Forbes (5/13/2014).

He notes that middle schoolers (sixth-graders in particular) are reading the most words per student, but reading decreases among high school students.

Shapiro writes, “When these kids become adolescents they attempt to directly emulate their adult role models. If adults don’t read books, then trying to act like an adult means not reading books.”

As a father, he requires 30 minutes of reading before any video game time. He also models good reading behaviors. Shapiro adds, “In my household, being an adult means feeling comfortable with books. Maturity means having excessive familiarity with long-form written words.”

When children accompany their parents or grandparents to a book festival, youngsters see people getting excited about books and meeting authors.

Teens can talk to authors in a relaxed setting and perhaps realize that they are interesting people who want to share stories with readers. Maybe these youths will be inspired to write a book or article.

So take time visit the Payson Book Festival and enjoy a community celebration of books for all ages.

JUNIPER VISTA JOURNAL CONTINUED

No limits to adventure FROM PAGE 4

I don’t think I read all of them all the way through, but I know I read something in almost all of them.

We lived in a small logging town in the mountains above Medford, Ore., I don’t know if there were public libraries or even school libraries. So, those encyclopedias — “The Book of Knowledge” series — were a window on the world.

My next memory of books comes from when I was in fourth grade in Carmen, a tiny Oklahoma Panhandle town. The school was so small that teachers had two grades in their classes. My teacher, Mrs. Ross, would take time every afternoon to read to us aloud. She read mystery stories! The “Trixie Beldon” series ... and I was hooked. (I am sure she read more than the “Trixie Beldon” books, but those are what I remember).

My family rented a big farm house a few miles outside of town. There was a full basement, the main floor and a third floor (and an attic and storm/root cellar). The basement had almost a half of one wall filled with shelves — probably originally built as space to keep home canned goods. My parents filled those shelves with books — I just realized writing this, I didn’t know where they had all come from, we had not had them in our other homes. My best guess, at this late date is that my grandparents had stored them for my parents. I think they were primarily college textbooks — I don’t remember ever reading them. Afterall, they were my parents’ books.

I did not start my own collection until we moved

from Oklahoma to the Navajo Reservation when I was 9. Because we were moving from that big farmhouse to a singlewide trailer on the public school campus at Ganado (the school provided housing for its teachers) my father did the unthinkable — he burned almost all those old books. They were his — and my mother’s — so I suppose he could do as he liked with them. But it was so shocking to me I am still haunted by the memory 50 years later!

At Ganado I was introduced to “Scholastic Books” — we didn’t have the book fairs they do now, but every child was given a catalog of the books available to buy. So, with birthday money (and money from babysitting when I was allowed to do that) I bought all kinds of books from that catalog.

I also discovered school libraries at Ganado. When we first moved there — June 18, 1965 — my mother started teaching summer school almost immediately and I tagged along. She was a home economics teacher and her room was just down the hall from the school library. There were hardly any students in the class, so she taught me to sew. But when that painful process was over, I escaped to the library.

I think I read every book that held any interest for me — the Bronte sisters’ works are what I remember and fiction about Colonial times and pioneers and science fiction.

If I enjoyed a book I would look for others like it. If I couldn’t find one, I decided I would “rewrite” myself into the story. That is “how” I “learned” to become a writer. Yes, I love books, I love reading, I love writing. Hurray for the Payson Book Festival!

10 | RIM REVIEW • JUNE 24, 2015

A LOOK AT SOME OF THE BOOKS Over the past several months The Rim Review’s movie critic Andy McKinney has turned his talents to sharing information about some of the books published by the many Rim Country authors participating in the Payson Book Festival Saturday, July 25.

Some of those are now reprinted here.

“SPIRIT LAKE”

BY STEVEN ANDREW COLE

The lake in the title does not refer to haunts, spooks, ghosts or ghoulies but rather to a lake on the slopes of Mt. Saint Helens of volcanic notoriety. A band of seven hearty young souls take off to the woody wilds of the mountain just as the eruption starts to rumble in a serious way. The healthy young adventurers want to do some base diving, parachute diving from a high cliff, which at the time had just begun to take the imagination of the young and restless.

The seven youngsters are an ill suited band, some old friends, some first time met. Two are handicapped, one a mentally challenged giant the other a young woman with a deformed hand. The organizer has the traits of a bully, a spoiled child of wealth with a chip on his shoulder. Two friends, one a druggie the other a footloose thrill junkie are to make the jump, the others are to film the action and make the Richie rich kid famous in filmdom. The girlfriends of the rich kid and the druggie are respectively a gold digger and a lying, manipulative bitch. When things go wrong, and they do go wrong, these people have no hope of survival. Or can they come together and overcome long odds?

Author Cole takes us on a wild ride through the twists and turns of the plot. We have mayhem of all sorts — be warned the mayhem, the wounds, the terror, the struggle at any cost to survive he brings right up to our chin bones in graphic detail. If blood, gore and desperate fighting for life are not your thing, pass this one by. If you like excitement and imagination in your reading, this one’s for you.

Cole puts in some very smart stuff for the discerning reader along with the blood and terror. It shouldn’t give anything away to say that the volcano presents A problem rather than THE problem.

“VEIN OF JUSTICE”

BY SHARON LANGDALE

Rim Country author Sharon Langdale penned a twisty mystery for us with a decidedly romantic flavor. She sets her tale in the small Colorado town of Elk Hills, a beautiful little place snugged in tight well up into the Rockies. Elk Hills once formed the hub of a frantic gold mining area, but the rush passed by a hundred years ago. Still some people have hopes. Gold fever never dies out entirely.

Lynn Mason and her husband Don make a tenuous living with a small restaurant and a lumberyard by Mineral Lake, a classic alpine lake reflecting the peaks all about. The endless succession of 18-hour days takes their toll on the couple’s energy, patience and hope. Too tired to be in love, the couple grows increasingly distant from one another.

Then Lynn’s mom washes up on the banks of the river, murdered in their quiet little town, a place where everyone knows everyone else. Who could have done such a terrible thing? The victim did own several mining claims, but no gold had ever been found on them.

We have murder and kidnapping. We have adultery and a Ute Indian deputy sheriff with enough wisdom for a far older woman. We have dope dealing, shooting and damaged hearts. The plot keeps us turning the pages wondering what will happen next.

But we have a genuine interest in Lynn. We want her to navigate the treacherous waters of her unwanted and unexpected adventure. And author Langdale does not make it easy for us. We don’t find out until the very end the path Lynn’s heart will take.

Sharon Langdale’s work can be found at Barnes & Noble or Amazon.com.

“THE WASTE OF WAR”

BY CAROLE EMMA MATHEWSON

Well known in local writers circles, Payson’s own Carole Mathewson has produced her long-awaited novel set in the time of the American Civil War. Mathewson brings us a somber look into our nation’s greatest war and greatest tragedy.

She uses as her path the lives of two of her direct ancestors, Civil War surgeon Harley Mathewson and his courageous and unstoppable wife and nurse, Mary Sanborn Mathewson. We follow the couple from the Army of the Potomac through the Red River Campaign in the West.

At every turn, we are introduced to generals, common soldiers, the mighty and the humble.

We experience the tide of battle from the depressing vantage point of the wartime surgeon.

Mathewson draws us in, using the voice of the wounded and suffering soldiers to explain the ebb and flow of battle. This gives us at once a measured distance from the adrenaline-fueled excitement of the battlefield and an intimacy with the terrible results of battle.

The war preserved the union and ended slavery. We should never forget the cost. Mathewson shows us the bill our soldiers paid to gain those twin goals — a bill paid in lives, limbs and untold suffering by many hundreds of thousands of brave men doing their best.

I have had reason to read letters and accounts written by soldiers in this heroic age. Mathewson has captured the rather formal language used by the people in that age gone by. The language used by her characters is the authentic language of the age. Her rhythms are those of the people who lived through the horror of the Civil War. I rather like that. It is sometimes off-putting to have characters in a historical setting speak as if they live in contemporary Orange County, Calif. Mathewson avoids that mistake.

As a historical refresher course, “The Waste of War” provides a valuable resource. As a reminder of what enormous heroic sacrifice our people made to preserve the union and to end the abomination of human bondage it goes beyond utility. It becomes necessity.

“The Waste of War” is available from Amazon.com either in an electronic version or as an actual book that you can hold in your hands.

“PLAY”

BY HOLLY S. ROBERTS

“Play” by Payson resident Holly S. Roberts, represents a sub genre within the larger category of the romance novel.

Years ago when I ran a book store in Alaska our paperback wall and paperback sales consisted of about half and half — half our sales were romance novels and half were everything else in print. This part of the publishing world certainly has a power and a popularity that cannot be denied.

“Play” falls squarely onto that side of the romance spectrum that we can discretely call steamy — very steamy, and with lots of smoke and fire to go with it. Whew!

Quite by accident a college athlete, Rebecca Cavanaugh, briefly meets the star quarterback of the Arizona Scorpions professional football team.

All professional quarterbacks are tall, handsome, fit enough to pose for Greek sculptors and quite by necessity, focused. Too often they are also self-centered to one degree or another.

Author Roberts takes this stock character sketch and makes it work for her in what turns out as a rather nice love story. With lots of you know what.

Killian MacGregor (great name for a quarterback) has other traits too, chief among them being his absolute determination.

Lucky for Rebecca he uses his determination to woo the college senior.

There is a thing known as love at first sight in real life, so we can believe that Killian “has been struck by the lightning bolt,” as the Sicilians say about the phenomenon. And we keep turning the pages because we want to see how things turn out for two very nice young people.

Love ain’t easy even if Killian has more depths to him than simply being a professional athlete might indicate.

If romance novels are your cup of tea, you will like this one.

Be forewarned however. The two protagonists are athletes, one a football player in his mid 20s, the other a college senior who runs the 10,000 meters for the college team. Two athletes, in their 20s, doing what comes naturally. A lot.

“Play” and Holly S. Roberts’ other books can be found on Amazon.com.

“GONE FOR A SOLDIER”

BY MARSHA WARD

The great calamity of our most destructive war caught up the Owen family of the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia in this prequel to the other four volumes in the popular Owen family saga by Payson area author Marsha Ward.

The family has enough members and the terrible Civil War lasted long enough for many of the sons to have “Gone for a Soldier” by the time the conflict staggered to a bloody finish. We follow the two oldest sons, Rulon and Benjamin through the eyes of the women — some might rightly say the girls — who love them, who pray for their safety and who try their inexpert best to heal their physical and mental wounds as they might. This makes for some very touching stuff. Author Ward might bring out a tear or two from her readers.

Ward spins her story in bite size bits, a few pages at a time, as she switches from one character to another. She has managed to capture the cadences of rural Virginia in the 1860s with warm authenticity. And not just the cadences of speech, but also the cadences of mind. The people show a strong religious underpinning for their lives that also seems authentic and the devotion of large families who spend nearly all of their time with one another, separated from other families and the local town by a short but significant distance. The reader will find time spent with Mother Julia, her husband Roderick and their nine children and their neighbors time well spent. The few battle scenes are necessary for the narrative and properly grim. The destruction however does not command the story. The anguish and emotional suffering of the women left behind takes the front space.

Rim Country author Marsha Ward’s books can be found on Amazon at amazon.com.

Go online to paysonbookfestival.org for more information about all the authors participating in the Payson Book Festival, which is from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, July 25 at the Gila Community College Payson campus.

Admission is free, but authors will be selling and signing copies of their books.

Vendors will have assorted refreshments available for purchase as well.

JUNE 24, 2015 • RIM REVIEW | 11

Payson Book Festival includes 16 local authors The July 25 Payson Book Festival counts 16 Rim Country authors among its participants: Barbara Ayers, Connie Cockrell, Steven Andrew Cole, Ken Crump, Sherry Engler, Annemarie Eveland, James Hagen, Susan Haught, Sharon Langdale, Carole Mathewson, Mark Plets, Jayne Peace Pyle, Jinx Pyle, Holly S. Roberts (aka D’elen McClain/ Suzie Ivy), Dee “Buckshot Dot” Strickland and Marsha Ward.

BARBARA AYERS Barbara Wickam Ayers was born in Wheatland, Wyo. and lived on a ranch below Baggs, Wyo. until the fourth grade, at which time the family moved to a ranch above Yampa, Colo. There she graduated from high school and went on to get a bachelor’s of arts degree in education.

She met her husband and for 50 years was a pastor’s wife. She and her husband raised horses, hunted in the fall and took pack trips into the beautiful Wind River Mountains of Wyoming. These experiences have been the inspiration for her poems and stories.

CONNIE COCKRELL Connie Cockrell began writing in response to a challenge from her daughter in October 2011 and has been hooked ever since. Her books run the gamut from sci-fi and fantasy to contemporary to Halloween and Christmas stories.

She’s published two novels, “The Gulliver Station” series, three collections of short stories and has been included in three different anthologies. Connie continues to write about whatever comes into her head.

STEVEN ANDREW COLE Steven Andrew Cole is the author of three novels, and has written countless magazine and newspaper articles and screenplays. A descendant of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Steven is known for working in numerous genres and often writes using a poetic tone. He divides his creativity between his stories and his love of drawing.

He’s drawn more than 100 of his original Twisted Mazes and is currently in the process of writing a children’s novel, which he’s illustrating. He’s attending the Hollywood Pitchfest this year for his screenplays.

KEN CRUMP Ken Crump says, “When I finally gave up on becoming a world-class cyclist and country

music sensation, my ambitions came to rest at becoming a writer.

I’ve since won a national writing contest, written for newspapers, magazines and journals, and published two books.”

In a previous life, he was a ringside boxing announcer, small-market radio personality, radiation research technician, instructor of veterinary anesthesia, and head nurse at the Flint Animal Cancer Center.

“Now fully mature, I shoot pointy sticks, grind rusted steel, and pen genre fiction.”

SHERRY ENGLER Sherry Engler is married to Don Engler, who currently serves as the chief of police in Payson, Ariz. She has been a law enforcement supporter, spanning Don’s career, for more than 30 years of service. Sherry’s daughter and son are also law enforcement officers, both serving as deputy sheriffs. As the wife of one law enforcement officer and the mother of two, Sherry Engler knows firsthand the many challenges the law enforcement profession may have on family life, but takes a humorous view of things in her book, “Living With LEO.” ANNEMARIE EVELAND Annemarie Eveland began writing personal stories for her storytelling presentations. As a certified presenter, she wrote her training manuals for Reading People seminars; was included in two anthologies, and was a columnist in two newspapers. “At First Glance, What Faces Reveal” is a self-help book on reading people and understanding ourselves.

“Be the Ripple” stories show how seemingly small moments and incidents in ordinary days can affect us for life. In progress is “Real Women Don’t Wear Glass Slippers” about challenges in life and the insights gain from them and “Hurrah for Humans” — stories celebrating humanity’s courage and kindness.

JAMES M. HAGEN James M. Hagen retired from a career of engineering with Motorola, Philco-Ford and Xerox at age 67. He subsequently immersed himself in fine arts and creative writing. He has self-published three volumes of poetry, two volumes of short stories, a novella, a travelogue of Ireland, and a 12-page epic poem based on Truman Capote’s master-

piece, “In Cold Blood.” For family, he has written “Memories of Marlene,” written after her death, and five volumes of an autobiography. His writings — fiction and nonfiction — are all based in Arizona Rim Country. He is a longtime resident of Christopher Creek.

SUSAN HAUGHT Award-winning author Susan Haught lives in the mountains of Arizona’s Rim Country with her husband and high-maintenance shih tzu, Mercedes (Sadie). When she isn’t creating captivating characters in quaint settings or wrestling a busy day-job, you’ll find her tackling an overgrown garden, engrossed in a movie, or curled up with a good book — Sadie and a stash of Australian black licorice nearby. Susan and her husband have one son.

Susan writes contemporary women’s fiction/romance with the belief that Love is Ageless and has the power to change lives — one step, one touch, one kiss at a time.

SHARON LANGDALE As a family member of a victim in an unsolved murder, Sharon Langdale writes with conviction about the frustration of never finding closure over the loss of a loved one in “Vein of Justice.” It is her hope that the characters and their quest in this novel will in some small way ease any pain felt by persons with the same history. Her real life experiences of owning a restaurant and living in a historical mining town in Colorado are woven into her story.

She is a member of the National League of American Pen Women and Arizona Professional Writers and holds a bachelor’s of arts degree from the University of California San Bernardino.

CAROLE EMMA MATHEWSON Carole Emma Mathewson’s historical work of fiction, “The Waste of War: The Story of a Civil War Union Surgeon and His Nurse” concerns experiences that her great-grandfather, Dr. Harley P. Mathewson, might have had as a Union surgeon, with his wife Mary as his nurse. Brev.

Lt. Col. Mathewson, a graduate of Dartmouth Medical School, served the Union, along with his wife, from the beginning of the

war until several months after the conflict ended.

The writer devoted some years to collecting needed books, along with reference materials, and researching the battles, campaigns and hospitals in which the couple served.

MARK PLETS A native of Arizona, award-winning author, Mark Plets has always had a passion for words. A confirmed xenophile, his hobbies include foreign languages, photography and dancing.

When he writes, the ever-present coffee mug beside his laptop could be considered his stalwart co-author.

Mark’s book, an Irish historical novel, “Kelly: a tale of ould Ireland” was released on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, 2015.

JAYNE PEACE PYLE Jayne Peace Pyle, a fifth-generation descendant of Gila County pioneers, grew up on a cattle ranch in Gisela, Ariz. She grew up hearing stories from her family and others, like Slim Ellison and Marguerite Noble, who were close friends and mentors.

Jayne’s first book, “The History of Gisela, Arizona” (1981), earned her state recognition as a historian. She has written nine more historical books, her latest is “Women of the Pleasant Valley War.” Jayne and her husband, author Jinx Pyle, have been the Official Town of Payson Historians for the past 10 years and in 2005, they were selected as Arizona Culturekeepers. In 2012, Jayne received the prestigious Sharlot Hall Award, given to women who preserve Arizona history.

JINX PYLE Jinx Pyle, an Arizona native, is the seventh generation of cattle ranchers and lion hunters in the Tonto Basin. For most of his life he made his living with cattle and horses in much the same way as his father and grandfathers before him. His knowledge of life was gained from the back of a horse and most of what he knows, he learned from old-time Arizona cowboys.

Jinx is the author of eight historical books of the Southwest, including the Pleasant Valley War. He has also produced a music CD, titled “Rawhide Ranahan.”

HOLLY S. ROBERTS Holly S. Roberts, writing as D’elen McClain, is the best-selling author of the “Fang Chronicle” Series. Writing as Holly S. Roberts, she is the USA Today Best-Selling author of the contem-

porary romance “Completion” Series. And writing as Suzie Ivy she pens her humorous miss-adventures in the police academy during her mid-life crisis.

She is the author of 24 books.

She reads, writes and spends as much time as possible with her husband of 35 years and two extremely spoiled dogs. When she needs to clear her mind, you’ll find her in the gym punching out a speed bag with a smile.

DEE “BUCKSHOT DOT” STRICKLAND Dee “Buckshot Dot” Strickland is a native Arizonan and is honored to have been named an “Arizona Culturekeeper” by the state Historical Foundation. She is a poet, illustrator and singer and was once named “Female Cowboy Poet of the Year” by the Academy of Western Artists. She has opened for country singer Lyle Lovett.

In 2007, her “Arizona Women: Weird, Wild and Wonderful” became Western Music Association’s Cowboy Poetry Book of the Year. She has taught American history, free enterprise, drama, speech, English, and art in Arizona high schools — including Payson — as well as elementary gifted-and-talented in Arkansas.

MARSHA WARD Marsha Ward was born in the sleepy little town of Phoenix, Ariz., and grew up with chickens, citrus trees, and lots of room to roam. She began telling stories at a very early age, regaling her neighborhood chums with her tales over homemade sugar cookies. Visits to her cousins on their ranch and listening to her father’s stories of homesteading in Old Mexico and in the Tucson area reinforced Marsha’s love of 19th century Western history.

Over the intervening years, Marsha became an award-winning poet, writer and editor, with more than 900 pieces of published work, including her acclaimed novel series, the “Owen Family Saga.” Her latest addition to the series is a prequel, “Gone for a Soldier” set during the American Civil War. She is the founder of American Night Writers Association, and a member of Western Writers of America and Women Writing the West.

A popular workshop presenter and writing teacher, Marsha makes her home near Payson.

When she is not writing, she loves to travel, give talks, meet readers and sign books.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Although you don’t like to change plans once they’re set, once again, you might find that doing so can make a big difference in your favor. Family matters dominate the weekend.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You continue to get encouragement for your proposals, including some support from unlikely sources. Use this positive flow to move forward with your plans. Good luck.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Family matters are dominant this week. It’s a good time to be with those you love. It’s also a good time to contact and reunite with loved ones with whom you’ve lost touch.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Be careful not to allow differences of opinion to create unpleasant feelings, especially in the workplace. A neutral observer could check out the situation and suggest a resolution.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) While the Lion’s Den is the center of attention this week, with family matters dominating much of your time, workplace issues are also important. Try to find a balance between them.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) The future of a new relationship could depend on how much the usually impatient-to-get-things-done Virgo is willing to stop pushing and let things happen naturally.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Worry over a loved one’s well-being is eased with good news from a sympathetic source. Your continued show of love and support is important. Stay with it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a good time to consider mending fences with someone you wish was back in your life. Forget about blame, and focus on the good things you once shared.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a good week to start researching information regarding whatever changes you’re considering, whether it involves a new home, a new location or a new job.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) A long-anticipated job opportunity could turn out to be less than you expected. But appearances might be deceiving. Check it out before you decide it’s not for you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Good news: Adapting to a new situation might come more easily than you expected. You can look for continued support from colleagues who appreciate your contributions.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Someone you care for might need more reassurance from the typically “unemotional” Pisces. Go ahead. Open up, and you might be surprised at what you find when you do.

Try a cool Jamaica Lime Pie to close your summer barbecue.

Sweet treats to end a summer night FROM PAGE 7

BLUEBERRY ICE CREAM

2 cups fresh blueberries 2 tablespoons water 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest 2⁄3 cup sugar, divided 1-1⁄2 cups half-and-half or milk 1 cup heavy (whipping) cream 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 tablespoons honey liqueur or framboise (optional) Rinse the berries and pick out any bad ones. Place in a small saucepan with the water and cook over low heat until tender, about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly and purée in a blender or food processor.

In a small bowl, mash the zest with 1 teaspoon of the sugar to release the oils. In a small saucepan, combine the half-and-half with the remaining sugar, stirring until dissolved; let cool to room temperature. Stir in the blueberry purée, cream, sugared zest, juice, and vanilla. Transfer to a container, cover, and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, about 3 hours.

Freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

When the ice cream is almost frozen, spoon in the liqueur, if desired, and churn until blended in, about 1 minute more. Transfer to a container, cover, and freeze until firm, about 2 hours. Makes about 1 quart.

ADD SOME ZEST TO YOUR DESSERT TABLE

A refreshing dessert makes summer evenings that much more enjoyable. After a good meal, sharing dessert with friends and family can make for the perfect ending to a relaxing night. Those who want to add a touch of the tangy to their summertime dessert table should consider the following recipe for “Jamaica Lime Pie” from Helen Willinsky’s “Jerk from Jamaica” (Ten Speed Press). Again make this the night before or early in the morning before serving.

JAMAICA LIME PIE FILLING

4 large egg yolks 1 large egg white 1, 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk 1/2 cup fresh lime juice 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 partially baked 9-inch pie crust, chilled MERINGUE

3 large egg whites 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar 6 tablespoons sugar To make the filling: In a medium bowl, beat the egg yolks and egg whites until they are very thick and lemon-colored. Stir in the condensed milk, lime juice and salt until well blended. Pour into the chilled pie shell. Refrigerate for several hours to allow the filling to set.

Shortly before serving, make the meringue. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, beat the 3 egg whites with the cream of tartar until they form soft peaks. Gradually beat in the sugar, and continue beating until it is dissolved. By then the meringue should be stiff and glossy. Spread over the filling, being sure to seal the edges well so that the meringue will not shrink.

Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until delicately browned. Let cool away from drafts. Serves 6.
