THIS WEEK’S REVIEW

Good go

Welcome to The Rim Review. This week’s feature is about a program offered by every library in Gila County — a program to bring a book each month into the home of every child from infancy to their fifth birthday. It is free and made possible by the Gila County Library District and the Dollywood Foundation through its Dolly

Parton Imagination Library project. Elsewhere, Tim Ehrhardt’s history column looks at how Payson has been portrayed in the press around the state over the years. Ken Brooks takes us to Hawaii in his Travel Talk column. The food feature is on making outdoor entertaining easy.

The movies reviewed in this edition are “Ted” and “Brave” — two very different movies, but our critics only had good things to say about them. Check out this page and Page 3 for upcoming activities in the Rim Country. Thanks for reading. Teresa McQuerrey, editor Rim Review

WATCHABLE WILDLIFE

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to learn where and when to look for wildlife. Topics to be covered include how to view wildlife responsibly to minimize impact on the animals, the habitat and other nature enthusiasts. The program is from 11 a.m. to noon, Saturday, July 14 at the parks office in Green Valley Park. The fee is $5. Contact the Parks, Recreation and Tourism Department for more details at (928) 474-5242, ext. 7 or online at www.paysonparks.com. CONCERT IN THE PARK

The annual Summer Concert Series by the Payson parks department features a free program at 7 p.m. every Saturday through 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 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.

Missoula Children’s Theater in Payson Theater directors and students of both the high school and junior drama programs are working to bring Missoula Children’s Theater to Payson in August. This is a production company from Montana that provides a great experience for children in kindergarten through the 12th grade. Between 50 and 60 youngsters will have a chance to be part of a professional theatre production. Any child interested in being in or helping with the play will audition Monday, Aug. 13, after school. Those selected will rehearse Monday through Thursday after school and do shows Friday afternoon and Saturday evening. These are fun, lively shows based on

old stories, but with a modern twist. This year, MCT has chosen to present “Betty Lou and the Country Beast” which is a country version of “Beauty and The Beast.” The leaders in the Payson Longhorn Theatre program are excited about the chance to grow the love of theater in Payson, but help is needed. The group is seeking sponsorships from businesses, organizations and individuals. All sponsors will receive recognition in the program, complimentary tickets to the show, a sponsors’ reception with the cast and crew, and a photography option with an actor of choice. Contributions are tax deductible to the extent provided

Take time here to simply drink in the grandeur of the area. I also suggest taking a helicopter tour of the famous Na Pali Coast with the dramatic mountains rising high from the ocean’s edge.

The famous Volcano National Park is a must. My suggestion is to take an organized tour for this. The tour director will impart many interesting facts while you are there. As we have suggested, Hawaii rarely disappoints and you should plan a trip here at least once in your lifetime. ALOHA!

GARDENING | MELINDA MYERS

ATTRACT BIRDS & BUTTERFLIES Add a little extra color and motion to your summer garden with containers designed to attract birds and butterflies. Many garden centers continue to sell annuals throughout the summer and many of these mid-season annuals are a bit bigger, providing instant impact. It’s easier than you think to attract birds and butterflies and the good news is you don’t need a lot of space to do it. Container gardens give you the ability to attract wildlife to your backyard, patio, deck or even balcony. Simply follow these four steps and your garden will be filled with color, motion and a season of wildlife. 1. Provide food for birds and butterflies. Include plants with flat, daisy-like flowers like pentas, zinnias, and cosmos to attract butterflies. For hummingbirds, include some plants with tubular flowers including nicotiana, cuphea, salvia and fuchsia. And don’t forget about the hungry caterpillars that will soon turn into beautiful butterflies. Parsley, bronze fennel, and licorice vines are a few favorites that make great additions to container gardens. You can even create containers that will attract seed-eating birds. Purple Majesty millet, coneflower, coreopsis and Rudbeckias will keep many of the birds returning to your landscape. 2. Include water for both the birds and butterflies. It’s a key ingredient and a decorative small shallow container filled with water can be included in a large container. Or include a free-standing birdbath within your container collection. I used a bronzed leaf birdbath in just this way. It created a great vertical accent, added interest to a blank wall and provided a water supply for the birds. 3. Give them a place to live and raise their young. Add a few evergreens, ornamental grasses, and perennials to your container garden. Use weather resistant containers that can tolerate the extreme heat in your garden. Then fill with plants that are at least one zone hardier. Or add a few birdhouses. These can be included in the container or mounted on a fence, post or nearby tree. 4. Skip the pesticides, please. Nature, including the birds you invite into your landscape, will devour many garden pests. Plus, the chemicals designed to kill the bad guys can also kill the good bugs and wildlife you are trying to attract. And, if pests get out of hand, use more eco-friendly products like soaps and horticulture oil as a control mechanism. And, as always, read and follow label directions carefully. And to conserve time and energy, try using one of the self-watering containers or hanging baskets that are on the market. This helps to make it both easy and convenient when time constraints and vacations get in the way of providing ideal care. I recently tried using one of the Gardener’s Supply Easy Roller selfwatering containers. I filled one with wildlife-friendly petunias along with papyrus and golden moneywort. After a five-day trip during hot dry weather I returned to find my container garden in great shape and hummingbirds visiting the flowers. So gather your family and get started planting your wildlife container garden today. SEVEN TIPS TO HELP YOUR LANDSCAPE BEAT THE HEAT THIS SUMMER

Summer has arrived and for many gardeners that means heat, drought and watering bans. This can be hard on gardeners as well as their landscapes. The good news is that there are ways to help plants thrive despite these seasonal challenges. Adjusting landscape care accordingly during the summer months cannot only provide relief for lawns and gardens, but also for the gardener. Here are some low maintenance eco-friendly ways gardeners can keep their landscapes looking their best throughout the summer months, while beating the heat:

Payson outside watering schedule: Even-numbered addresses may water on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. Odd-numbered addresses may water on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

Water plants thoroughly to promote deep droughtand pest-resistant roots. Wait until the top few inches of soil are crumbly and moist or footprints remain in the lawn before watering again. Avoid light, frequent watering that encourages shallow roots. Shallow roots are less able to tolerate drought and more susceptible to disease and insect problems. Spread a 2- to 3-inch layer of shredded leaves, evergreen needles or shredded bark mulch over the soil in garden beds and around trees and shrubs. Mulching conserves moisture, keeps roots cool and moist, and suppresses weeds. Mow lawns high. Taller grass produces deeper roots that are more drought-tolerant. A deeply rooted lawn is also more resistant to insects, disease and other environmental stresses. Always mow lawns often enough, so you remove less than one third the total leaf surface. Leave the grass clippings on the lawn. They add nitrogen, organic matter and moisture to the soil. Use a low nitrogen slow release fertilizer to give gardens and lawns a nutrient boost. This organic nitrogen fertilizer remains in the soil until the growing conditions are right for the plant. Remove weeds from garden beds and borders as soon as they appear. These “plants out of place” steal water and nutrients from your desirable garden plants. Plus, they can harbor insects and diseases that are harmful to your garden plants. And don’t forget to take care of yourself while caring for your landscape during the heat of summer. Drink lots of liquid, use sunscreen, and work during the cooler morning and evening hours. Then when the gardening tasks are done for the day, grab a glass of lemonade, take a seat in the shade and enjoy the beauty of your handiwork. ABOUT THE AUTHOR

RIM HISTORY RIM HISTORY RIM COUNTRY HISTORY | TIM EHRHARDT

How the Payson area has been viewed over time I love old newspaper clips. One of my favorite things to look at it is how people have viewed the Payson area historically. So let’s take a look at some old clips. The 1870s were the beginning of non-native settlement in this region. At the time Prescott to the west was a particularly major player in the state — it had been the territorial capital from 1864 to 1867 and would be again from 1877 to 1889. That makes this clip from an article in Prescott’s newspaper, the Arizona Weekly Miner, on April 30, 1875, all that more important. ***** TONTO BASIN. In conversation with Wm. Clark, who has traveled extensively in New Mexico and Arizona, we learn the following particulars with reference to Tonto Basin, which is situated on Fossil Creek, a tributary of the east fork of the Verde River, about eighty miles in a southeasterly direction from Prescott. This basin is well watered, has an abundant supply of timber, consisting of oak, ash, wild cherry, cottonwood, mesquite, hackberry, TIM EHRHARDT black walnut, cedar, sycamore and birch in the valley, and pine on the mountains which surround it. These are the Mogollons, Sierra Anchas and Pinals, which are all high and precipitous mountains that almost wall the valley in, as it were, and give it the appearance of a deep, flat bottomed basin. This basin is completely covered with a most luxuriant growth of grass of several kinds, all nutritious, and valuable for hay or pasturage. Several creeks meander through the valley, some of which Mr. Clark learned the names of, as follows Canon, Wild Cherry, Pleasant Valley and Tonto, besides some others, the names of which he did not learn. These are streams of living water, as is attested by the presence of beaver and beaver dams, as also several kinds of fish. The soil, commencing at the east fork of the Verde, is a black loam or vegetable mould, very rich and capable of producing almost anything; this character of soil extends all along the streams in valleys of various widths. Part of Tonto Basin is rolling land, somewhat gravelly but would produce grain wherever water could be taken for irrigation. The basin is in the neighborhood of 30 miles

square, nearly all of which is susceptible of being converted into pleasant homes for farmers and stockraisers, where, as yet, there is not a living soul. The climate is mild and pleasant in winter but a little too warm for comfort in summer. Mr. Clarke did not prospect for gold but saw good indications on the streams and has been informed by others that gold has been found there. The formation of the hills is decomposed granite, slate and large veins of white quartz. Iron ore in quite a pure state is also found in leads in the foot-hills, where the gold is believed to exist. White tail deer, bear, turkeys, rabbits and quail abound in the valley, on the hills and in the mountains. ***** This is a very appealing article, and undoubtedly encouraged people to come to the area. Over the next 10 years, substantial growth happened, which leads us to this clip from the October 2, 1886 Arizona Silver Belt. ***** Payson is a thriving village. A string band has been organized there and the people will make merry with music and dancing. The corn crop in the valley is up to the average, feed is excellent and cattle in good condition. The people are patiently waiting for a railroad to reveal the latent resources of that section. ***** Gradually, the region moved forward. The railroad, though much talked about over a 30-40 year period, never happened. The Tonto Natural Bridge was the subject of numerous articles, including many that reached far outside the state. Let’s move forward to 1909 and this clip from the July 6, 1909 Arizona Silver Belt. ***** The so-called Payson country has four or five rich mining districts, extensive tracts of timber, a cattle range fully seventy-five miles square that supports more than 50,000 head of cattle, and hundreds of acres of rich agricultural land lying in the Payson main belt where all kinds of farm produce and all the ordinary fruits can be raised in abundance without irrigation. One the northernmost border of Gila county, also, is situated the famous Natural Bridge, one of the greatest wonders in the United States, and one which hundreds of tourists would travel miles to see, if there were any suitable roads to travel on. ***** The author Zane Grey first came to the region in

1918, and here’s what he had to say about Payson in his book “Tales of Lonely Trails” — “Next day we rode from Natural Bridge to Payson in four and a half hours. Payson appeared to be an old hamlet, retaining many frontier characteristics such as old board and stone houses with high fronts, hitching posts and pumps on sidewalks, and one street so wide that it resembled a Mexican plaza. Payson contained two stores, where I hoped to buy a rifle, and hoped in vain.” ***** Over the next 20 to 30 years the region would grow and start to change, as Zane Grey’s writings spread further word of the area. The Boy Scouts set up Camp Geronimo in the 1920s and the region became that much more of a place for people to escape the Phoenix area heat, as this clip from the December 23, 1950 Tucson Daily Citizen shows. ***** Six-Gun Memories Cling to Arizona Among the places in Arizona replete with memories of six-guns, feuds and bold men, is the Tonto Basin country. The villages of Pine and Payson, and the surrounding mountain forests are an ideal setting for the legends of early days which fill them, while Pleasant Valley to the east, is famous as the locale of the bloodiest of all range wars. Tonto Basin and its overhanging Mogollon Rim are known wherever books are read, and visitors find this comparatively virgin country a delightful and hospitable resort region. ***** The allure of the old west was a big part of things, and certainly fit with the weekender/second homeowner experience. Since then, the region has continued to evolve and some magazines have touted Payson as a great place to retire. As time goes on, what is written about the area will continue to gradually change, while also keeping many of the same themes that have been present throughout the area’s history.

All the world

& BEYOND Photos by Andy Towle

Local libraries participate in programs promoting early literacy, such as Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. Through the program, families with infants and children up to age 5 can get a free book mailed to their home every month. Children are more apt to read if books are available. The program helps build a child’s vocabulary and cognitive skills, better preparing them for kindergarten.

Children can have the world and beyond with books Introduce children to books and you give them the entire world and beyond — their imagination is their ticket. Both the Payson Public Library and the Isabelle Hunt Memorial Library in Pine participate in Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library and the Gila County Library District’s programs promoting early literacy. With the Parton program, families with infants and children up to age 5 can get a carefully selected, free book mailed to their child (children) every month. It is addressed to the child participant — it is their very own book. They learn how to handle books and with their parents, grandparents and/or caregivers reading to them from those books, they learn skills that make them ready for kindergarten and ready to succeed. “I know there are three-year-olds who know when their book is supposed to arrive,” said Jacque Griffin, county librarian. The program is now in its third year and has 1,100

children participating, Griffin said. However, only about 45 percent of children eligible for the program in the Payson area are registered for it, according to the U.S. Census and county records, Griffin said. The “training” for parents, grandparents and/or caregivers takes all of 10 minutes she said. All that is required to participate is to be a resident of Gila County and sign-up for the program. The registration forms are available at all libraries and through the WIC program of the Gila County Health Department. Books will begin arriving at the address on the registration form in eight to 10 weeks. Participation in the program helps make a wellprepared kindergartner, Griffin said. It builds vocabulary and cognitive skills. “Nationally, most children going into kindergarten have a 3,000 word vocabulary. Studies and informal observations show Gila County’s new kindergartners have only a 500-word vocabulary,” Griffin said. She said two longtime kindergarten teachers have told her that since the program has been in place, almost all the children in their classes now know how to handle books. Children are far more apt to read books if books are available — in many homes they are not; this program changes that, Griffin said. “We hope the program encourages parents to bring children to the library, but program participants never have to come to the library. We want to see every child in Gila County know how to read and have the literacy skills to be successful,” she said.

Star Valley man imagines life after Alcatraz BY TERESA MCQUERREY RIM REVIEW EDITOR

Writing is part of Kevin Bruce’s genetic code. His father, J. Campbell Bruce, wrote for the San Francisco Chronicle for many years, was a Sunday stringer for the New York Times, wrote for Readers Digest and authored the non-fiction book, Escape from Alcatraz, on which a successful movie starring Clint Eastwood was based. Bruce himself has authored two books on art published by Random House’s Ten Speed Press. “I always wanted to write fiction, but I didn’t know what to write,” he said. A couple of years ago he attended a book signing by Michael Connelly. Connelly is an American author of award-winning detective novels and other crime fiction, notably those featuring LAPD Detective Hieronymus “Harry” Bosch and criminal defense attorney Mickey Haller. Connelly was the president of the Mystery Writers of America from 2003 to 2004. Bruce said Connelly gave the age-old advice, “Write what you know.” During the course of the event, Bruce had an opportunity to speak with Connelly’s intellectual rights attorney. He told her about his father’s non-fiction and touched upon his idea to write about the imagined post-escape lives of the men at the center of Escape from Alcatraz. He said she was intrigued by the idea and very encouraging. Not convinced to leap feet-first into the task of creating a realistic world and imagined full lives, Bruce continued to mull things over. Initially he thought about writing a treatment (outline) for a screenplay on exactly how the escape was made and fill in with chases and manhunts, etc. Then he decided to do a story of the protagonists’ lives following the escape. With the help of his good friend, Ken Gunderson, he wrote the treatment he had in mind and sent it to his daughter, who works in the movie industry. “She told me what I had was a novel, not a movie,” Bruce said. The story details the lives of the three men who escaped from Alcatraz June 11, 1962. He calls them Frank Morris and the Anglin brothers, who assume the identities of Christopher Stokes and John and Charles Daniels. Morris/Stokes is Bruce’s main character and his trek from Alcatraz to a small Montana town is the main thrust of the book. The Stokes story is populated by the people who took him in, helped him grow and learn to trust and create a full, new life. The story of the brothers is not so fully detailed, but Bruce said their parts of the book were the most fun to write. And he was able to follow the advice of Connelly and incorporated what he knew about art into several parts of the book. Bruce said after mulling over the idea of the story he finally started writing his book in October 2011 and had it available for purchase on the 50th anniversary of the actual escape from Alcatraz. The genetic code having to do with writing came into play. He said his father believed in the power of the creative subconscious — if you try to force all the stuff going around in your head into what you are writing, it won’t work; if you let it be, the time to write it will come and you won’t be able to stop it. He wrote his book, Still Water, fast and now has it available for sale on amazon.com and through his own Web site, Kevinbrucebooks.com. To have Bruce discuss his work, he can be reached at Shadowsky@aol.com. While he didn’t get a screenplay from the story he wanted to tell, he is still hoping it might be picked up and turned into a movie — and he is hoping the star who made his father’s work famous, Clint Eastwood, will come back around and play the main character — at least in the parts where he is an older fellow.

Kevin Bruce, of Star Valley, has written Still Water, a book about the imagined, postescape lives of the men at the center of his father’s book, Escape From Alcatraz. Bruce’s book is available at amazon.com or at his own site, kevinbruce books.com.

IN THE KITCHEN | FAMILY FEATURES

Take the stress out of backyard entertaining Warm weather provides the perfect excuse to gather all your loved ones together for good food and fun. And while people relish the idea of catching up with family and friends, planning and preparing for these festivities may be daunting, as well as timeconsuming. A few tips, however, can help make sure you aren’t tied to your kitchen — and help turn your traditional recipes into fabulous fare.

PLAN EARLY Consider the location, timing, guest list, budget and any other factors relevant to your gathering. These details will help you shape a menu that doesn’t break your back or the bank. And remember that simple entertaining can be just as fun — if not more — than fine dining. KEEP THE MENU SIMPLE Delicious and memorable don’t have to mean complicated and expensive. Choose recipes that are simple to prepare, require only a few ingredients and are suited to outdoor dining. And remember, less is more when it comes to the number of dishes you serve. LINE UP HELP Enlist your family and friends to help with grocery shopping, prep work, cooking and, most importantly, cleanup. By dividing the tasks, you won’t feel overwhelmed or overburdened. And, you will have plenty of time to mingle with guests. WOW ’EM WITH GREAT FOOD Shake up your standard fare by incorporating the savory flavors of quality cheeses. Versatile and nutritious, cheese can add zest to your favorite standbys. And with the broad array of appetizing flavors available, such as Gouda, Provolone and Pepper Jack, the possibilities are endless.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You’re wise to let your Arian skepticism question a former adversary’s request to let bygones be bygones. Time will tell if he or she is trying to pull the wool over the Lamb’s eyes. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Congratulations. Your hard work soon pays off with some welldeserved recognition. Meanwhile, that important personal relationship needs more attention from you. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) That new person in your life seems trustworthy, but don’t turn him or her into a confidant just yet. Remember: The secret you don’t reveal is the one you won’t lose sleep over. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your kindness makes a difference in someone’s life. But by week’s end, a touch of Cancerian envy could create a problem with a colleague. Take care to keep it under control. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) A new spurt of energy sends you roaring back into that challenging work situation. But be careful not to overdo it, or your sizzle could fizzle before your task is completed. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Your practical sense helps you see the logic of being a bit more flexible with a workplace colleague. But you still have a ways to go before there’s a true meeting of the minds. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) A surprise situation could cause you to spend more money than you feel you can afford. But careful budget adjustments will help. Your fiscal picture soon brightens. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) That decision you made might still have its detractors, but your supporters are growing. Meanwhile, your personal life takes on some welcome new developments. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Matters of the mind intrigue the sage Sagittarian through week’s end. By then, you should feel more than ready to make room for pursuits of the heart. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) The canny Capricorn can offer good counsel to others. But how about taking some advice yourself from a close friend or family member who is able and ready to help? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) A new workplace opportunity offers a variety of challenges that you might find intriguing. Best advice: Take things one step at a time so that you don’t feel overwhelmed. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) A bid to revive a relationship that ended on a bitter note needs to be carefully thought out before you can even begin to consider plunging into a new emotional commitment. BORN THIS WEEK: You enjoy being with people, and people love being with you. You would probably do very well in politics. © 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

Brain bleeding from aneurysm BY PAUL G. DONOHUE, M.D. NORTH AMERICA SYND., INC.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: A friend of mine, 46 years old, with a wife and two children, died of a stroke. I also heard he died of a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Are they the same? He was the picture of health and was devoted to exercise. Could his exercise be responsible? He was almost a fanatic about it. — P.M. ANSWER: A subarachnoid hemorrhage is a special kind of stroke. It’s due to the bursting of an aneurysm on one of the brain arteries. Aneurysms are small, balloon-like protrusions of a brain artery. They’re weak spots. “Subarachnoid” indicates that the artery is below one of the brain’s coverings — the arachnoid. It’s the same place where cerebrospinal fluid circulates. A rush of a large volume of blood into this space compresses the brain and compromises its function. The increased pressure on the brain adds to the threat of death. Sometimes these weak bulges have been there from birth. In most instances, they arise during life. High blood pressure, smoking and excessive intake of alcohol contribute to their development. From 10 million to 15 million Americans have a cerebral aneurysm. Only a small percentage of these people die from it. At the onset of bleeding, the involved person complains of a terrible headache, the worst he or she has ever had. The person then becomes unresponsive and slips into a coma. This sort of stroke has a high fatality rate, around 50 percent. Answering your question about your friend’s devotion to exercise and its influence on his death is hard. Exercise did not cause the aneurysm to form. In unusual circumstances, it might have caused the aneurysm to break. Straining to lift a very heavy load while simultaneously holding the breath has been described as a possible reason for rupture of this kind of artery problem. The booklet on strokes describes the more common stroke causes and their treatment. People can order a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue — No. 902W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

DONOHUE: Recently a friend passed away from Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. The total course of the disease took about 10 weeks, although some recall subtle changes earlier. This has been described as human mad cow disease, or very rapid Alzheimer’s. What can you tell us about it? — T.H. ANSWER: It’s an infection due to a new kind of germ, one that is totally protein. No other living thing, if this truly is living, is composed only of protein. The germ is called a prion. When it finds its way into the brain, it causes a rapidly progressive and profound dementia. The prion might have been there for decades, however, before signs appear. It is a truly rare disease that occurs in all parts of the world. Most of the time, it is fatal in a short time, about one year. No medicine stops its progress or improves its symptoms. Transmission of CJ disease to family members living under the same roof as the patient has not been described. Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.
