KID FIT CAMP

CELEBRATION OF BOOKS FOR READERS OF ALL The Payson Book Festival is bigger and better this year. Excitement is building as more than 80 Arizona authors plan to participate in Rim Country’s largest book festival on July 23 at Gila Community College, 201 N. Mud Springs Road.

Themed “Reading Takes Us to Amazing Places,” this free, family-friendly community event takes place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with a variety of activities that include Story Time sessions for kids; author presentations; cowboy poetry and songs; food, entertainment and door prizes.

More than 500 guests were at the first festival last year. Event officials estimate more than 600 visitors will attend the 2016 Payson Book Festival.

Featured authors include State Historian Marshall Trimble, who spins colorful Arizona tales; Navajo poet Laura Tohe; outdoor travel writer Roger Naylor; children’s book author Conrad J. Storad; and biographer Jan Cleere.

Gila Community College (GCC) and the Rim Country chapter of Arizona Professional Writers (APW), a non-profit organization, are partnering to present this event with funding support from Arizona Humanities.

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

Participating literacy groups are Read On Arizona, First Things First, Rim Country Literacy and local libraries.

Free books will be offered to children attending Story Time sessions and some exhibits.

A portion of the book festival proceeds will benefit scholarship funds of the Rim Country chapter of APW and Gila Community College.

Connie Cockrell, book festival director, says, “We are still seeking local volunteers to help with tasks the day of the book festival. They can contact us at info@paysonbookfestival.org.”

RIM GARDENING GUIDE

The history of composting… Making better dirt

BY CATHY HICKEN HIGH COUNTRY GARDEN CLUB

What is dearer to a gardener’s heart than his or her compost pile? It is custom food for the garden, lovingly crafted by the gardener. Who knew it could be so scientific and fun.

The cycle of vegetation living and dying and then decomposing to pass along its nutrients to new generations of plants in the form of compost occurs naturally.

Any plant matter on the ground rots aerobically — or uses oxygen as part of the rotting process — and turns into compost.

(Vegetation that rots anaerobically or without oxygen turns into peat and ultimately under pressure into coal.) Ancient farmers took advantage of this. They would throw straw into the yard and the animals would produce vast quantities of manure and urine that they trampled into the straw. At this point, the muck became a thick mass and therefore anaerobic. Then the farmers would haul it out and make a “mixin’” of it. In farmer speak, this means dung heap.

This whole process aerates the muck and it turns into compost.

So this goes on for centuries every place in the world that has farmers. Around the beginning of the 20th century, just before World War I, an Englishman by the name of Sir Albert Howard “invents” compost. Sir Albert had experimented with it in Indore, India. He had gone there to introduce “superior” farming techniques. What he found was that Indian farmers were better at it than English farmers. Anyway, Sir Albert is generally credited with being the founder of the organic farming movement.

Compost, or as it is sometimes called humus (pronounced Hew-mus), is well-rotted material that is fine-textured, dark, rich, and crumby. It’s often called “garden gold.” Compost does a lot of good things in your garden. It improves soil structure and texture. It helps with aeration and increases the soil’s ability to hold water. Plants are generally stronger with deeper root systems and disease resistance.

Compost adds beneficial microorganisms to the soil. These little “bugs” help to break down organic material and convert nutrients into available forms that the plants can use. Compost is also disease-free and mostly weed free. The heat that is generated during the composting process destroys most weed seeds, perennial roots and other pathogens.

Compost makes very good mulch. It adds about twice the nutrients as uncomposted mulch like straw or bark chips. It’s no wonder that gardeners can be fanatic about their favorite compost recipes. They are like wine connoisseurs!

So what goes into the making of good compost? The entire process begins with the natural interaction of organic material and microorganisms. The microbes do the work decomposing your materials so you will want to provide them with the best conditions to do their job. This is going to take four basic ingredients.

The first is carbon. Carbon supplies the energy for the microbes. It’s like the Red Bull of the micro world. Most of the material in the compost pile will be high in carbon. This includes dry, tough, fibrous stuff like plant leaves, straw, sawdust, shredded

paper and cornstalks to name a few.

The second ingredient is nitrogen. High nitrogen materials are the “steaks” or protein that microorganisms need to break down the carbon. Fresh grass clippings, over ripe fruit, and vegetables and kitchen scraps are the biggest source of high-nitrogen materials. Other examples are kelp meal, manure or blood meal that can be added to provide additional protein.

Water is an important part of the equation. Too much will prevent the compost from getting oxygen and suffocate the microorganisms and too little will slow the decomposition process. The best way to determine moisture content is to squeeze a handful of the material from your pile. It should have just enough moisture to feel slightly damp. If you need to add water, insert a garden hose into the middle of the pile in several places. If you are lucky enough to have a tumbler, sprinkle water into the barrel and turn it to mix the contents. Be careful not to over saturate the material. A good rule to follow is to water your materials when you first put them together and then check the moisture content occasionally.

The last ingredient to help the microbes in their job is lots of oxygen. Aerating the pile is the best way to introduce fresh oxygen, but there are other ways to do so. Building your pile on top of a pallet or platform will allow air to circulate and reach the pile from below. Another way is to insert pieces of ventilated pipe into your compost pile. Adding bulky materials like corn stalks, leaves and wood chips also help to create air pockets and channels because these materials don’t compress easily.

Now is the time to talk about some recipes for compost. Your own mix will depend on the materials you have at hand.

There are many different recipes. Because materials decompose at different rates, your recipe will vary from other gardeners.

The most avid composters attempt to blend specific materials in their compost to get the fastest decomposition possible.

If speed is your goal, the key is to create the right balance of carbon to nitrogen.

This will best help the microbes do their jobs efficiently. The ideal ration for effec-

tive composting is approximately 25 parts carbon to 1 part nitrogen. If the carbon number is too high the compost pile will take much longer to decompose. If the nitrogen is too high, you will end up with a very smelly and soggy pile!

Carbon-Nitrogen Ratios of Common Compost Ingredients Grass clippings - 25:1 Leaves - 50:1 Straw - 80:1 Rotted Manure - 20:1 Sawdust - 400:1 Kitchen Scraps - 25:1 There are a few things you don’t want in your compost. These include pet feces, meat and bones, dairy products, fat or grease and trash or plastic. These things don’t break down easily and tend to attract unwelcome four-footed critters. To make compost faster, chip or shred the raw materials. Turn the pile every three to five days. Use an enclosed composter or cover the pile with plastic or old carpet. You can buy compost activators that contain microorganisms that speed the process. These are helpful if your pile is not in contact with the ground. Adding blood meal, alfalfa meal and fish emulsion will give the pile a nitrogen boost.

Once you’ve created your pile or your bin is full, the microorganisms will get to work. There are three different types of microbes that work together to digest the materials in a compost pile. They each work at a different temperature range.

The psychrophiles like it cool, as low as 28 degrees. They will do most of the work during the winter months. As they digest the carbon in the organic matter, heat is generated. When the pile reaches 60 to 70 degrees, the mesophilic bacteria takes over, it is responsible for the bulk of the decomposition. If the mesophiles have the right mix of food, air and water, they work so hard to digest the carbon that the temperature shoots up over 100 degrees! This is when the thermophilic bacteria jump in.

These hard-working microbes can raise the heat up enough to kill disease causing organisms and some weed seeds. Three to five days of 155 degrees is long enough for the thermophiles to complete their task.

The temperature will now drop and when

it reaches 90 to 100 degrees, your compost is ready.

Your pile should have lost a good deal of its mass while the microbes are working.

You may add more green material after the first week to replenish the supply of nitrogen needed by the microbes to complete their job. Compost can be started any time of the year, but activity will slow down or stop when the weather is freezing. As the weather warms up, the pile will resume cooking.

Turning your pile (or rotating it in a tumbler) mixes the carbon and nitrogen and helps bring undigested material into contact with the microbes. Turning your pile increases the efficiency of the composting process and aerates it as well.

Monitoring the temperature will help you determine when to aerate. Apparently there is a nifty gadget called a composting thermometer. When the temperature falls below 110 degrees, you can turn the pile with a pitchfork or compost aerator tool to help mix the materials. Make sure to bring any undecomposed material on the outside edges into the center so the microbes can do their work. Each turning will raise the temperature as long as there is still some undecomposed material to be worked on.

No increase in temperature means your pile is ready for use. If you don’t want to invest in all the gizmos, turn your pile every three days. In cold weather, turn the pile less often so not to lose heat.

There is a compost style for every garden need. You can buy the latest in tumblers or build your own bin or go the old-fashioned route and just make a pile on the ground. Now that you are compost savvy and ready to tackle that compost pile, remember that composting is like gardening. It’s part science, part creativity and part fun. In gardening there is no such thing as a bad batch of compost.

If you have technical question about the composting process, a great resource is the Gardener’s Supply Company. It is in Vermont and its phone number is 800-9504470. They will be happy to give you help.

Please join use at the High Country Garden Club every first Thursday of the month at Mount Cross Lutheran Church in the log cabin at 6 p.m. Happy gardening!

Randall Dale grew up on a ranch. He is a champion team roper in the sport of rodeo. He lives in the great Southwest, as do I. He is in every way that matters a cowboy. He understands rural ranch people, their bedrock goodness as well as their flaws.

When he creates his characters he can do so from a wealth of personal experience that goes all the way back into his own long life experience. He has the voice of authenticity.

He here in the third book of his “Partner” series brings back familiar characters. The young ranch couple Ricky and Jesse and their two kids continue to do well and work hard on their ranch in Texas. Ricky’s mom Karen however stands at center stage of this part of the long, continuing story.

By happenstance she encounters and befriends a worthy young man with a pile of problems. Our old friend and billionaire Fleming also returns.

Dale weaves his characters into a tapestry of a tale. He draws the villains with honesty.

One of the bad guys acts with such honesty and clarity that we

understand him entirely. We get his motivation, we understand just how he has pushed himself into a place where he acts in a dishonest manner from honest intentions.

The super rich Fleming has a hard time relating to the un-rich and also in contriving his own emotions. Having enough money to do literally anything that comes into his head makes for occasional poor decisions, even in a basically good person.

There are a couple of harpies in the story too, but even they have fully drawn personalities.

But for the most part, the people we meet are people that we can like. We can even admire them. As the good book says, they are the salt of the earth. These unpretentious rural folk treat one another with consideration and kindness as a matter of course.

We have the sense that they could not act otherwise.

I live in a small town in the Southwest and personally know people, lots of them, that fit into the frame that author Dale has put around his creations.

If readers want a heart-warming story about good people trying to do their best in a fallen world, pick this one up.

Do not think of Dale as some brand of simple rustic. He has a degree from the University of Arizona and has a keen appreciation of what matters in life, in fiction or in real life.

Readers can find Randall Dale’s work on Amazon.com.

He will appear in person at the Payson Book Festival.

FIRM FOUNDATIONS | SIMONE LAKE

TRUE KNOWLEDGE = TRUE LIBERTY In June 2016 my Firm Foundations article focused on Apostle Paul’s 2nd letter to the Christian believers scattered all over the towns, cities and areas near the Mediterranean Sea, Adriatic Sea and the Black Sea. In addition, it also related to us today in this time frame, this year, state and wherever you may be reading this.

The focus of June’s article stated the true authenticity, the holy interpretation and applying all diligence in the truths found in Peter’s letter.

are: Old Testament Prophets, Jesus Christ the Savior of the world and apostles including Peter.

CONTRARY TO AUTHORITY

In chapter 2 of II Peter, he tells us that, “But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.”

The goal of these false teachers is to lead others to believe REVIEW false things contrary to the word Peter an Apostle and eyeof God. They do this by their own witness of the majesty of Jesus sensuality, with greed exploiting Christ gives evidence of his true others and leading them away to life event that happened on the the sound teachings of those in mount of transfiguration. Peter the Bible with sound authority. tells us “For when Jesus received Simone Lake Verses 14 and 18 speak of these honor and glory from God the false teachers and how “they Father, such an utterance as this entice unstable souls by fleshy was made to Him by the Majestic Glory, ‘This is my beloved Son, with whom desires” ... turning, twisting, contorting I am well pleased,’ we ourselves heard this God’s holy word. These are the ones that very voice borne from heaven, for we were deceive many. But Peter is faithful to reveal and to expose who these people are, what with Him on the holy mountain.”

Peter confirms his creditability and God they do and the danger of what they do. given authority to write this letter and to WARNING deliver such a wonderful reminder of the In Chapter 3 of II Peter, he encourages true knowledge of Christ. Peter goes on, the audience, which he calls Beloved, to making it very clear that the Bible is from “... be on your guard so that you are not God not man: “But know this first of all, carried away by the error of unprincipled that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of men and fall from your own steadfastness one’s own interpretation, for no prophecy ...” Peter also writes “Know this first of was ever made by an act of human will, but all, that in the last days mockers will come men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from with their mocking following after their own God.” lusts.”

It is God who inspired and it is holy. It is Peter commands us to: simple. It is clear. It is holy.

1) KNOW – that in the last days there To attain true knowledge, deeper under- will be those that mock God and His holy standing of Jesus Christ you must seek Him word and to through the pages of the Bible, the inerrant 2) GROW – in the grace and knowledge word of God. He is the Word and will give of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. “ ... you guidance in your quest as you seek Him but grow in the grace and knowledge of our in prayer over this task.

Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”

So Peter ends Chapter One by verifying His ultimate desire is for those who those of authority we can count on and believe on and follow Jesus to grow in go to for verification of the truth. These Him bearing much fruit. He commends us

in righteous behavior in verse 11, “... holy conduct and godliness” also in verse 14, “... to be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless ...” for the complete purpose of not being carried away by false teaching but instead to be blameless before our heavenly Father by continually growing in knowledge of Christ Jesus who is the Lord and Savior.

TRUE KNOWLEDGE = TRUE LIBERTY

So do you want to know more about Jesus? You will find more by studying the Bible. By the direction of the Holy Spirit and truly studying the Bible will help you achieve that goal. By knowing who Jesus is and who you are in Him. For those who receive Him as Lord and Savior you will receive complete liberty from the curse of sin and eternal damnation and instead eternal life in a personal true love relationship with Him forever.

As we celebrate July 4th this month of our country’s independence, let us focus our heart and soul on the liberty we find in Christ Jesus by giving our salute to Him on bended knee in humility and repentance ... looking to Him Jehovah Nissai our flag, reminding us that our freedom is in Him now and for eternity.

When you study the Bible to attain deeper knowledge of God, do so using this format: 1. Observation – Discover what the Scripture says. Observation teaches you to see exactly what the passage says. It is the basis for accurate interpretation and correct application. Observation answers the question: What does the passage say?

Begin with prayer; ask who, what where, when, how and why; mark key word and phrases; make lists; note times; locations; make contrasts and comparisons; and draw conclusions.

2. Interpretation – Discover what the Scripture means. While observation leads to an accurate understanding of what the Word of God says, interpretation goes a step further and helps you understand

what it means. As you seek to interpret the Bible accurately, the following guidelines will be helpful: context rules; seek full counsel of the Word of God; remember Scripture never contradicts; don’t base your convictions on an obscure passage of Scripture; interpret Scripture literally; look for single meaning of passage.

3. Application – Discover how to apply the Scripture and what it means practically in your daily life. The first step in application is to find out what the Word of God says on any particular subject through accurate observation and interpretation of the text.

Once you understand what the Word of God teaches, you are then obligated before God to accept the truth and live by it.

Rim Review movie guy really knows his zombies FROM PAGE 4

A GROSS OF ZOMBIES — REVIEWS OF 144 ZOMBIE MOVIES

BY ANDY MCKINNEY REVIEWED BY TERESA MCQUERREY

Andy McKinney really knows his zombies and he has a book that proves it, “A Gross of Zombies — Reviews of 144 Zombie Movies.”

Released in January by AuthorHouse publishing, the book shares McKinney’s take on zombie movies made over the decades. He includes a list of more than 700 zombie movies made from 1932 through 2015. He says the 1932 movie, “White Zombie,” is the first known zombie movie made.

He includes movies that can in any way be considered a zombie movie: movies with the traditional slow-moving, brain-eating zombies, demon zombies, space alien zombies, funny zombies, metaphorical zombies

and zombies in love.

McKinney says if a country has any sort of film industry it has probably produced a zombie movie, but most still come from the U.S. He reports that in 2014 alone, there were 50 new zombie movies released.

The 144 zombie movies are in alphabetical order, not year of production, so thumb through the 299-page book and see what titles jump out at you. Some of the earliest McKinney reviews were made in the 1940s.

His rating system? “Brains” — a good one is a four-brainer.

And how did he get to be such a zombie movie expert. He likes movies — writing about them on a weekly basis for The Rim Review is good indicator of that fact.

McKinney’s book’s back cover tells the tale: He “lived for 30 years in Alaska. The long winters gave him plenty of time to watch movies … He loves the flickers and finds zombie films fascinating and loads of fun.”

In his book’s introduction, he writes, “I

like traditional style zombies best myself, but the various subgenres are also worthwhile … This book is best used to inform and warn the zombie fan … We just want to have fun and be entertained … We don’t have to have a perfect movie to enjoy it, but there are some that simply suck an hour and a half away from your life. Avoid them, I will tell you in the following pages which to avoid at all costs.”

Meet McKinney at the July 23 Payson Book Festival at Gila Community College.

PAYSON BOOK FESTIVAL BASICS

This is the second year the Rim Country Chapter of the Arizona Professional Writers and Gila Community College have presented the Payson Book Festival. This year the event has funding support from the Arizona Humanities.

It is from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, July 23 at the Payson campus of Gila Community College, 201 N. Mud Springs Road.

More than 80 Arizona authors are

expected to participate with more than 600 guests anticipated.

COVER STORY | CONNIE COCKRELL

Randy Wilfong photo

The Preacher Canyon Cave includes formations from the drip of water loaded with dissolved limestone. The cave does have stalagmites and stalactites, though unfortunately many have been broken off, probably as a result of heedless and destructive hikers and cavers.

Preacher Canyon Cave exploration involves more than a hike Are you afraid of noisome holes with worm ends hanging out? This is not a nice dry hobbit hole. Oh no.

More than 20 of us gathered at our usual time to leave the Stage parking lot and caravan east on Highway 260 to Tonto Village to see a natural curiosity — an honest to goodness living cave.

Of course, we couldn’t just get out of the cars and walk into the cave. That wouldn’t be much of a hike at all. So after parking just past Tonto Village, we began our walk through the ponderosa pines to the cave.

Weekend rain had left big puddles for us to skirt on the road, despite the bright, cool sunlight.

The forest here has had some clearing done, so much of our walk was through open forest. About a quarter mile into the hike, a branch of the road goes off to the left, we stayed to the right. To be honest, the approximately three-mile walk to the cave site is not very exciting, at least not in April. Later there will be flowers and perhaps in groups smaller than ours, wildlife could be spotted. One cool item was a downed tree trunk with insect tracks all through the surface of the wood.

After about three miles we reached a clearing with cairns on the right, uphill side, at GPS 34 17.825N, 111 10.188W. We looked up the hill to our right to see two

large dead trees standing about 400 feet away. We bushwhacked uphill, aiming for the right-hand-most of the two large dead trees. There is a bit of a usage trail to follow. The entrance to the cave is in a small depression about 15 feet southwest (and slightly downhill from) the big dead tree, at GPS coordinates: 34 17.875N, 111 10.243W. The people who had decided to brave the cold and dark came prepared. They dug warm clothing, knee pads, head lamps, and head protection out of their packs and dressed for the descent. A handful of us, myself included, decided to stay outside in the sunshine.

The cavers entered the cave by either

crawling or butt-scooting into the low opening. After about 20 feet, the slide down ends and the cave room opens up so that the caver has room to stand and explore.

Several rooms have easy access, with a pool of water in the back of the cave. The cave does have stalagmites and stalactites though unfortunately many have been broken off, probably as a result of heedless and destructive hikers and cavers. The rock floors are muddy, slippery and wet.

Gloves are a very good idea.

After the cavers came back into the light, they had a chance to eat their snack and warm up in the sun before we hiked CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

Preacher Canyon Cave FROM PAGE 6

back to the cars. One nice thing, on the road, just before going off up the hill to the cave, many of the C Group hikers in the past have found Payson Diamonds — really brilliant quartz crystals. We all kept an eye out and one of our group did find a small one.

While there were no worm-ends, we all had a good time on a lovely spring day.

Getting to Preacher Canyon Cave Trailhead: From Payson, drive highway 260 to mile marker 266.8 & turn left where the sign says Control Road & Tonto Village. Go 1.6 miles to dirt road on left, (just before yellow sign says: Curves Mountain Grades Next 12 Miles), pull in and park at GPS 34 19.084N, 111 8.536W. Distance: Approximately 6.3 miles round trip. Regular cars are okay. Recommend long pants for inside the cave.

Difficulty: Easy. Rocky road walk has long sloping hills.

Highlights: Pleasant, easy walk through the open forest then wet, muddy trip into a living cave.

Photos by Randy Wilfong

There is a pool in the back of the still-living Preacher Canyon Cave (photo above). Accessing the site in the spring (and now that the monsoon has arrived) means encountering water on the trail as well. The power of Mother Nature not only rests with wind and water — beetle grubs left the remarkable network of tunnels on an old fallen log along the trail to the cave (below right).

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You clever Ewes and Rams love nothing more than to rise to a challenge. So, by all means, if you feel sure about your facts, step right up and defend your side of the issue.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You’ve done some great work recently. Now it’s time to reward yourself with something wonderful, perhaps a day at a spa or a night out with someone very special.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You love to talk, but don’t forget to make time to do a little more listening; otherwise, you could miss out on an important message someone might be trying to send to you.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your aspect indicates some uncertainty about one of your goals. Use this period of shifting attitudes to reassess what you really want and what you’re ready to do to get it.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your social life is picking up, and you’ll soon be mingling with old friends and making new ones.

But ‘twixt the fun times, stay on top of changing workplace conditions.

VIRGO (August 23 September 22) A trusted friend offers understanding as you vent some long-pent-up feelings. Now, move on from there and start making the changes you’ve put off all this time.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might well feel uneasy as you face a difficult situation involving someone close to you. But you know you’re doing the right thing, so stick with your decision.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You’re a good friend to others. Now’s the time to allow them to be good friends to you.

Rely on their trusted advice to help you get through an uncertain period.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Family and friends are always important, but especially so at this time.

Despite your hectic workplace schedule, make a real effort to include them in your life.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) That project you’ve been working on is almost ready for presentation. But you still need some information from a colleague before you can consider it done.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Don’t let those negative attitudes that have sprung up around you drain your energies. Shrug them off, and move ahead with the confidence that you can get the job done.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Aspects favor some dedicated fun time for the hardworking Piscean. A nice, refreshing plunge into the social swim can recharge your physical and emotional batteries.

Place one pie crust in ungreased 9-inch glass pie plate. Press firmly against side and bottom.

In large bowl, gently mix filling ingredients; spoon into crustlined pie plate. Top with second crust. Wrap excess top crust under bottom crust edge, pressing edges together to seal; flute. Cut slits or shapes in several places in top crust.

Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until apples are tender and crust is golden brown. Cover edge of crust with 2- to 3-inch-wide strips of foil after first 15 to 20 minutes of baking to prevent excessive browning. Cool on cooling rack at least 2 hours before serving.

Tip: Two cans (21 ounces each) apple pie filling can be substituted for the filling.

Prepare crust according to package directions for unfilled one-crust pie using 9-inch pie pan. Press pecans into bottom of pie crust-lined pan. Generously prick crust with fork. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool completely.

In small saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch; blend well. Stir in water, margarine and egg yolk. Cook over medium heat until mixture boils and thickens, stirring constantly. Boil 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in lemon juice. Pour into cooled crust. Refrigerate 1 hour.
