Desertscapes: Narrative Landscape Exhibit It’s July. It’s hot all over. But why not take an excursion down the hill to the Valley and check out a special art exhibit?

Striking and thought provoking, Desertscapes: Narrative Landscape Photography by Wayne Norton at Pueblo Grande Museum is closing Aug. 31.

Norton describes this exhibit of black and white landscape photographs as a portrait of the American desert, through which he wishes “to question Man’s treatment of the desert and our existence there ....”

This exhibit is included with paid museum admission.

Pueblo Grande Museum is located on a 1,000-year-old archaeological site left by the Hohokam culture located next to Sky Harbor International Airport.

This National Historic Landmark and Phoenix Point of Pride has been a part of the City of Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department since 1929, and is the largest preserved archaeological site within Phoenix. A fully accessible 2/3mile trail takes visitors through a prehistoric Hohokam archaeological village site with a partially excavated platform mound, ball court and replicated prehistoric houses.

For more information on upcoming events and programs at Pueblo Grande Museum, visit pueblogrande.com or call the museum at 602-495-0901.

The museum is located on the southeast corner of 44th Street and Washington Street; hours: Tuesday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., closed Sunday and Monday, May through September and most major holidays.

Admission: adults, $6; seniors (55+), $5; children (6-17), $3; under 6 are free.

The special programs in July include Cup Stacking, ages 6 and older, 3 p.m., Friday, July 15; Computer Coding to create a fun game, ages 7 and older, 2 p.m., Tuesday, July 19; and the movie “Pan,” PG, 10:30 a.m., Monday, July 25.

The Book Cooks programs also continue: one on ice cream, ages 3 and older, 2:30 p.m., Wednesday, July 13; “Shake, Rattle and Roll,” ages 3 and older, 2:30 p.m., Wednesday, July 20. The Book Cooks programs require pre-registration, call 928-474-9260 or stop by the library at 328 N. McLane Road.

Museum plans free day The Rim Country Museum in Green Valley Park, 700 S. Green Valley Pkwy., will have a free day from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, July 16.

The free day is to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the formation of the Northern Gila County Historical Society — founded July 1976 — and the grand opening of the society’s newest exhibit, the refurbished log cabin that belonged to the Haught family.

Entrance to the Zane Grey Cabin and Rim Country Museum will be free all day.

Snacks and water will be provided.

Summer concert series The wonderful Green Valley Park amphitheater area and bandstand will again play host to a series of concerts under the stars this summer. The Payson Summer Concert Series takes place every Saturday in July, starting around 7 p.m. and ending about 9 p.m. Bring your family, a blanket and some treats and join in the fun.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

BY SAMANTHA WEAVER

2016 KING FEATURES SYND.

• If you’re of a certain age, you may remember the popular cartoon “Far Side,”

by Gary Larson. You may not realize, however, that this daily chuckle influenced science as well as humor.

In a 1982 drawing, Larson dubbed the spikes at the end of a stegosaurus’s tail the “thagomizer” — which is what paleontologists call the spikes today.

• If you write the word “suns” upside down, it still says “suns.”

• This election season might be a good time to resurrect the word “flapdoodler.” During Victorian times, any annoyingly boastful or self-righteous person was considered to be a flapdoodler.

• In Britain in the early 2000s, dead hedgehogs started turning up with their heads stuck in McFlurry

cups. It seems that the little creatures would stick their heads in to get to the remains of the discarded treat, then they’d be unable to get out and would starve to death. In response, in 2006 McDonald’s changed the design of the McFlurry cups to be more hedgehog-friendly.

• If you’re planning a road trip to the Pacific Northwest, keep in mind that in Oregon it’s against the law to test your endurance while driving a car.

• You might be surprised to learn that Helen Keller, probably best known as the first deaf and blind person to earn a bachelor of arts degree, was one of the first members of the American Civil Liberties Union.

Thought for the Day: “I want people to talk to one another no matter what their difference of opinion might be.” -- Studs Terkel

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

Green nail syndrome is not easy to treat

BY KEITH ROACH, M.D.

2016 NORTH AMERICA SYND., INC.

DEAR DR. ROACH: For the past four months, I have had an infection around the cuticle of my right index finger. There is green coloration under the nail near the cuticle, and the nail grew rather deformed. I am a gardener and a homemaker, so I tend to wash my hands often. The urgent-care doctor I saw prescribed clindamycin and mupirocin cream. I also was told to soak my finger twice a day. My family doctor took a culture and, because she did not know if I had a fungus or an infection, prescribed Lamisil and levofloxacin. She also recommended saltwater or peroxide soaks twice daily. The culture showed pseudomonas as the cause of the infection.

With no improvement, I saw an orthopedic doctor. He told me to continue the soaking and the mupirocin cream. On my second visit, he lanced the area between the cuticle and the nail bed. There was improvement, but the symptoms soon return.

The orthopedic doctor spoke of removing the nail as a possible solution to clearing up the infection. Is this my next step, or is there something else I can do? -- P.B. ANSWER: It sounds as though you have the aptly named “green nail syndrome,” which is caused by the bacteria you mention, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and which often is complicated by a paronychia, an infection along the side of the nail. Your orthopedic surgeon is quite right that sometimes the nail needs to be removed; however, many people can avoid that unpleasant procedure (I had to perform it once) with ciprofloxacin (the best oral antibiotic against pseudomonas), antiseptic soaks and by keeping the hands meticulously dry, using gloves and even using a hairdryer to dry the nails after soaking or cleaning.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am

a 67-year-old male who has had mild to moderate psoriasis for the past seven years or so. I have been avoiding the very effective biological drugs because of the scary possible side effects. Instead, I use antiitch topical creams and lotions, some with cortisone.

In researching the topic, I ran across a treatment called Fumaderm that is available in Germany, but I have never heard of it being used in the U.S. -- C.S. ANSWER: Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin condition that can range from annoying to life-threatening in severity. Psoriasis and its common complication, psoriatic arthritis, together are a highly destructive arthritis that often requires powerful treatment: biologic agents, like adalimumab (Humira) or etanercept (Enbrel). These do have the possibility of serious side effects, such as reactivation of tuberculosis.

Fumaderm has been used in Germany for 19 years with a generally good safety record.

There have been reports of a disease, PML, caused by brain virus, associated with Fumaderm, although it isn’t clear whether the Fumaderm predisposed the individuals to develop this infection.

No medicine is free of the possibility of side effects, and treatment for psoriasis should be appropriate for the degree of severity of the illness. If you are doing well enough with your current treatment, I wouldn’t recommend trying a treatment with a higher risk of serious side effects.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@ med.cornell.edu.

IN THE KITCHEN

Keep it cool with smart eats for summer Whether hitting the road for a vacation, enjoying the great outdoors and warm weather or simply spending time with family and friends, your summer schedule is likely anything but slow. An on-the-go summer lifestyle requires energy, and portable meals and in-season ingredients are keys to a healthy eating strategy that can power you through the season.

You can start by identifying foods that will keep you satisfied and energetic — and foods that are low in carbohydrates are a perfect fit.

If you are looking for recipes and tips, Atkins is among the good places to turn — it offers a balanced diet, with reduced levels of refined carbohydrates and added sugars, and is rich in protein, fiber, fruits, vegetables and good fats.

Some of the following recipes show how deliciously simple it can be to enjoy low-carb eating with fresh fruits and vegetables, such as blackberries, cucumber and avocado, in flavorful salads and refreshing beverages perfect for a break in a busy summer day. Others are suggestions for lighter, refreshing food to get you through the dog days of the on-again-off-again monsoon rains this summer.

Crab and Avocado Salad

BLACKBERRY SPINACH SALAD WITH GOAT CHEESE MEDALLIONS

Preparation time: 20 minutes; cooking time: 10 minutes; makes 6 servings 1 large egg 1 ounce soft goat cheese 1/4 cup halved pecans 1/4 medium red onion, in 1/8-inch slices 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon 1 tablespoon xylitol 12 ounces blackberries, divided 1-1/3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar Salt Black pepper 9 cups baby spinach 30 cherry tomatoes Heat oven to 350 degrees.

black pepper.

Cook another 2 minutes, remove from heat and allow to cool.

Dressing can be used warm or cooled further. Add lemon juice or water if thinner consistency is desired.

Combine spinach, tomatoes and remaining blackberries. Toss with half of the dressing then place goat cheese medallions on top. Serve with remaining dressing on the side.

MELON SALAD WITH WATERCRESS AND OROBLANCO VINAIGRETTE FROM TAL RONNEN’S “CROSSROADS” (ARTISAN)

Makes 4 servings 1 ripe canary or honeydew melon (about 2 pounds; see note) 2 Oroblanco or other seedless white grapefruits 1⁄2 cup fresh mint leaves, cut into chiffonade 1⁄2 cup finely diced Kite Hill truffle, dill, and chive soft fresh Almond milk cheese (optional) 1⁄2 cup watercress, stems trimmed 1⁄4 cup Oroblanco Vinaigrette (recipe follows) Flaked sea salt, such as Maldon Freshly ground black pepper Canary melon: The bright-yellow canary melon gets its name from the color of the tiny bird. The flesh is actually light green, with a sweet flavor that is slightly tangier than that of honeydew.

If canary melon is unavailable, substitute honeydew.

To prepare the melon: Slice a small disk off the bottom of the melon so it can stand upright on a cutting board. Cut the melon down the middle to halve it and scoop out the seeds and membranes with a tablespoon. Halve the melon pieces again, so you have four 1⁄2-inch thick slabs. Lay the slabs on the cutting board and, using a 1-inch round cutter, punch out 5 circles from each slab. Set aside. Discard the rind.

To segment the grapefruits: First slice off the top and bottom of each one and stand upright on a cutting board. Use a paring knife to cut off the skin and bitter white pith of the fruit in strips from top to bottom, following the natural round shape and turning the grapefruit as you go. Trim off any white pith that remains.

Hold each grapefruit over a bowl to catch the juices and carefully cut along the membranes on both sides of each segment to free it, letting the pieces drop into the bowl. Squeeze the juice from the grapefruit membranes into the bowl; you’ll need the juice for the vinaigrette.

To serve: Arrange 5 melon rounds on each plate. Strew the mint ribbons over them. Scatter the grapefruit segments, cheese, if using, and watercress on top. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and season with flaked sea salt and pepper.

OROBLANCO VINAIGRETTE

Makes about 1 cup 1⁄2 shallot, minced 2 garlic cloves, minced 4 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped Pinch of red pepper flakes 1⁄4 cup fresh Oroblanco grapefruit juice (reserved from salad) 1⁄4 cup white balsamic vinegar 1⁄4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1⁄4 cup grapeseed oil Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper Combine the shallot, garlic, basil, and red pepper flakes in a small mixing bowl or a mason jar. Add the juice, vinegar and oils, season with salt and black pepper, and whisk or shake vigorously to blend. Leftover vinaigrette can be kept covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

CITRUS SALAD WITH VIN SANTO AND MINT

FROM NORMAN KOLPAS’ “BUONGIORNO! BREAKFAST AND BRUNCH, ITALIAN STYLE” (CONTEMPORARY BOOKS) Serves 4 to 6 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves 1/2 cup Vin Santo* 4 sweet seedless oranges 1 ruby, pink or white grapefruit Fresh mint sprigs for garnish With your hands, firmly crush the mint leaves. Put them in a small nonreactive bowl or a large glass and pour the Vin Santo

over them. Leave to soak for at least 30 minutes.

With a citrus zester, remove the zest from one of the oranges in thin strips or remove the zest using a swivel-bladed vegetable peeler, taking care to avoid any of the bitter white pith, and then use a small, sharp knife to cut the zest crosswise into thin strips.

Reserve the zest.

To segment the oranges and grapefruit, first cut a slice off the top and bottom of each fruit just thick enough to expose the pulp beneath its membrane. Then, steadying a fruit on a cutting board on one of its cut ends, carefully slice off the peel in strips just thick enough to remove the outer membrane from each segment, following the fruit’s contour. Holding the fruit over a mixing bowl, carefully use a small, sharp knife to cut down along the membrane on either side of each segment, freeing the segment and letting it drop into the bowl.

Hold a strainer over the bowl and pour the Vin Santo through it to remove the crushed mint leaves; discard the leaves. Add the reserved orange zest and stir gently to mix. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour. Garnish the salad with mint sprigs before serving.

Citrus Salad with Vin Santo and Mint

*Vin Santo (“holy wine”) is a style of Italian dessert wine. Traditional in Tuscany, these wines are often made from white grape varieties. The wines may also be described as straw wines since they are often produced by drying the freshly harvested grapes on straw mats in a warm and well-ventilated area of the house.

Though technically a dessert wine, the wines can vary in sweetness levels from bone dry (like a Fino Sherry) to extremely sweet. While the style is believed to have originated in Tuscany, examples of Vin Santo can be found throughout Italy.

When your wheels are spinning too fast to stop, a roll-up is the perfect snack to recharge. These lowcarb options are ready in minutes and easy to enjoy on the go.

SMOKED SALMON, CUCUMBER AND CREAM CHEESE ROLL-UP

Preparation time: 5 minutes; makes 1 serving 2 tablespoons cream cheese 3 ounces smoked Chinook salmon 1/2 cucumber Spread cream cheese onto smoked salmon, place cucumber at one edge and roll up with salmon and cream cheese.

HEARTIER LUNCHES

A healthy lunch can help men and women be that much more productive come the afternoon. After eating a heavy lunch, many people understandably feel sluggish, making the afternoon drag and their productivity sag. But a light, healthy lunch can help men and women maintain their energy levels all day long.

Roasted Delicata Squash with Tuscan Kale

Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Combine the chickpeas, cumin, red pepper flakes, cayenne, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl, drizzle with 1⁄4 cup of the oil, and toss to coat. Spread the chickpeas out on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast, shaking the pan from time to time, for 20 to 25 minutes, until the chickpeas are firm and dry. Set aside to cool. (The roasted chickpeas can be prepared a couple of hours in advance, covered, and held at room temperature.)

Put a large sauté pan over medium heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. When the oil is hot, stir in the shallot and garlic and cook, stirring, until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the chickpeas, tossing to heat through. Stir in the lemon juice, sherry and marinara sauce and cook, stirring, until the chickpeas are well coated and the sauce is hot, about 2 minutes.

Mound the chickpeas in a shallow serving bowl, top with chopped parsley and serve warm.

SCOTY’S MARINARA SAUCE

Makes 6 cups 2, 28-ounce cans whole tomatoes, preferably San Marzano 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 onion, finely chopped 4 garlic cloves, minced 1 carrot, finely grated (about 1⁄2 cup) Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1⁄2 teaspoon red pepper flakes Pinch of baking soda 4 fresh basil leaves, chopped 1 tablespoon Earth Balance butter stick Working in batches, put the tomatoes, along with their juice, in a food processor or blender and puree until semi-smooth; you want a little bit of chunky texture.

Put a medium pot over medium heat and add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the onion, garlic and carrot; season with salt, black pepper and the red pepper flakes; and sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes.

Add the pureed tomatoes, stirring to combine, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until the sauce thickens, about 45 minutes. Season the sauce with more salt and black pepper, to taste. Remove from the heat, stir in the baking soda, making sure it dissolves, and add the basil and the butter substitute.

Once cooled, the sauce can be refrigerated covered for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.

ROASTED DELICATA SQUASH WITH TUSCAN KALE

FROM LAUREY MASTERTON’S “THE FRESH HONEY COOKBOOK” (STOREY PUBLISHING) Makes 8 to 10 servings 3 delicata squash (about 3 pounds total) 1⁄4 teaspoon coarse salt 1⁄4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 pound bow-tie pasta 2 bunches Italian (lacinato) kale 1⁄2 cup pine nuts 1 cup crumbled feta cheese Extra-virgin olive oil Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Cut the squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Cut into 1-inch chunks (there’s no need to remove the edible skin).

Arrange on a baking sheet and spray or brush with olive oil.

Season with the salt and pepper. Roast 10 to 15 minutes, until tender. Allow to cool.

Fill a large pot with water, add salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until just tender. Drain, rinse and set aside.

Remove the leaves of the kale from the stems and cut into large pieces. Set up a steaming basket over boiling water and steam the kale just until it is bright green, about 2 minutes. Remove and plunge into ice water to stop the cooking and keep them bright green.

Toast the pine nuts in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat until light brown, 3 to 5 minutes. (Stay nearby while you are toasting. Left unattended, the nuts can easily burn.)

Combine the pasta, kale, squash, and pine nuts in a large bowl.

Toss, and then add the cheese. Taste and adjust the seasonings.

COVER STORY | TERESA MCQUERREY Whether it is at an organized camp or with a little direction from an interested adult or teen, youngsters can find plenty of mid-summer entertainment exploring the world around them. Encourage them to capture the odd bug, take photos of interesting plants, trees and bushes, watch for wildlife in the early morning or around dusk, or try their hand at bird watching. Look for specialized guide books at the gift shops at the Rim Country Museum, the visitors center at the Payson Ranger Station of the Tonto National Forest or a local library.

Still time for summer fun for Rim youngsters It’s hard to believe we are already in the middle of July and school starts Aug. 1. In spite of being in mid-summer, there is still time for summer fun.

Youth recreational programs and summer camps can bridge the gap in between the end of school and the day when classes resume. Payson’s Parks and Recreation Department and the public libraries in Payson and Pine still have some programs on tap before the start of school.

Some of the details can be found in the calendar section of this edition of The Rim Review.

The following are a handful of tips for those who want their kids or grandkids to have fun and fulfilling summers.

• Ask for recommendations. Speak with fellow parents and trusted friends about where they send their children.

Personal recommendations can be very helpful, providing firsthand insight into a particular camp or program.

• Explore all options. Camps come in more flavors than ever before. Certain camps may be faith-based ministries while others may focus on particular sports. Band camps and art camps may appeal to creative kids. Also, there are plenty of general-interest camps that offer various activities without narrowing in on any particular one. Parents may need to choose between a sleepaway camp or day camps, depending on which camp experience they want for their children.

• Inquire about camp schedules.

While many camps are flexible, day camps do not have the same level of flexibility as after-school programs.

Arrangements will need to be made if care is required after regular camp hours. Speak with camp staff to see which types of after-hours programs, if any, are available.

• Determine your camp budget.

As varied as program offerings may be, camps also can vary greatly with regard to cost. Government-run camps may be less expensive than those offered by private companies. Day camps typically cost less than those that provide room and board. Find out if a particular organization subsidizes a portion of camp costs. Scouting programs often have a dedicated camp and may offer affordable options for scouts. Martial arts schools and dance centers frequently offer camp schedules.

If camp seems out of reach, look into local summer recreation programs at parks or schools. Such programs may not be as extensive as those offered by camps, but they can quell kids’ boredom and keep children occupied during the

day.

In addition to camp, remember to plan for some free days so children can just enjoy some downtime. Such days can break up the monotony of a routine and provide kids and families time to relax together.

TIPS TO KEEP KIDS ACTIVE

With the new school year around the corner, there may be a temptation for children and young people to sit on the couch watching TV or playing on a computer or mobile device.

In fact, a recent survey conducted by Dr Pepper Snapple Group’s Let’s Play initiative found that only 33 percent of children participate in daily active play, and for 30 minutes less than the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends.

It’s important for kids to get daily active play because it contributes to their physical, emotional and social development, and helps them maintain a healthy lifestyle.

To ensure kids get the active play they need this summer, try boosting their playtime with these tips: Make play time family time.

According to the Let’s Play survey, in general, year-over-year younger children’s active play time is more likely to be impacted by busy family schedules.

To make sure your family is getting the physical activity they need, find windows within your busy schedule to fit in some play, even if it’s just a brief break.

For example, rather than asking about your children’s days at the dinner table, take a pre-dinner family walk to hear more while getting in some steps.

Create summer structure. Without structured school days, kids may get too comfortable sitting inside playing video games. An American Academy of Pediatrics study shows that rather than playing outside, kids are spending an average of seven hours per day on entertainment media and other electronic devices. It’s important to let your children have downtime during the summer, but setting up weekly family playdates will give them something to look forward to while keeping them active. This could be a weekly family bike ride around the neighborhood, a game of catch or capture-the-flag.

Creativity is key. Summer means longer days, more hours of sunlight and more opportunities to be outside. Get creative when motivating your kids to be active. For example, take a daily activity like walking the dog and turn it into a scavenger hunt by drawing up a treasure map of things your children should

find on their walk, such as a pine cone, flower, blue car and other items around the neighborhood.

Host backyard playdates. Playing is always more fun with friends. According to the Let’s Play study, longer stretches of active play are more likely to occur with friends or siblings. Round up kids from your neighborhood to get together for a different activity each week, such as an obstacle course or hide and seek.

This allows your children to socialize and be active for an extended period of time.

than kids who are not involved in the arts. And though mathematics and science may not be the first thing people associate with the arts, kids involved in the arts are four times more likely to participate in math and science fairs than kids who are not involved in the arts.

Parents can do a lot to make art a bigger part of their kids’ lives. The following are some simple ways parents can bring more art into their kids’ lives, courtesy of Americans for the Arts.

• Join in the fun. Parents can make art more fun for kids by playing music around the house and singing and dancing alongside their youngsters. In addition, read a book to or with your children and join in when they pursue other artistic endeavors, such as drawing or

Sure, not many youngsters are masters with a paint brush, colored pencil or other medium, but letting them try their hands at art may inspire a lifelong passion.

HOW TO SPUR KIDS’ INTEREST IN THE ARTS

Art can enrich the lives of people of all ages. The arts can introduce adults and children to different cultures and traditions, while also helping them to develop more fully as human beings.

While some may feel the benefits of the arts cannot be measured, the nonprofit organization Americans for the Arts notes that kids who are involved in the arts are four times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement

painting.

• Find local events. Many school districts have slashed their arts budgets in recent years, but parents can still find local arts events for kids in their communities. Peruse the local newspaper and other community-based periodicals for cultural events for kids. Support local theater groups by attending performances with your children and explaining to them that the performers live in the community just like they do.

• Pitch in with local arts organizations. Local arts organizations typically CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

rely on donations and volunteers to support their programs. Parents who want to instill a love of the arts in their children can help local organizations’ fundraising efforts and even volunteer their time if the opportunity presents itself. If possible, take kids along when volunteering so they can get some firsthand experience with the arts.

• Encourage kids’ artistic pursuits. Some kids may decide to pursue artistic endeavors on their own, and parents can encourage such pursuits. Celebrate kids’ participation in arts-based activities in school and in the community, recognizing their hard work in the same way you would acknowledge their successes in the classroom and in sports.

The arts can benefit youngsters in various ways, but it’s often up to parents to instill a love of the arts in their children.

The Isabelle Hunt Memorial Library in Pine sets aside time and space Tuesday, Friday and Saturday for an Artist in Training program, open to all.

Creating a fairy garden might be just the ticket for introducing young people to the joy of gardening. Using broken planters, different kinds of vegetation that remains small and letting their imaginations run wild to create a miniature living world has the potential to keep them occupied for the few remaining weeks before school resumes Aug. 1.

ENGAGE KIDS IN ADVENTURE FROM PAGE 7

A recent report said gardening is the most popular hobby in the U.S. While young people may not want to tackle a real vegetable or flower garden, perhaps they might enjoy creating a fairy garden — and supplementing the project by reading all the stories about fairies.

6 STEPS TO CREATING FAIRY GARDENS FOR KIDS

Gardening can be an enjoyable activity for adults and children alike. Gardening encourages creative thinking and can make for an eco-friendly activity as well.

Adding a touch of whimsy to gardening can make it that much more attractive to children. Perhaps that is why fairy gardens have become so popular among youngsters. Fairy gardens can be designed in outdoor gardens or in containers that children can nurse and enjoy indoors.

Here are six steps to get your fairy garden up and running:

Choose your container or location. Decide where to place the fairy garden. Hollowed-out tree stumps are both contained and outdoors, and kids may feel like the fairies inhabited this neglected area of the yard and made it their own. Otherwise, use containers you already have, such as old pots, hanging baskets, picnic baskets or cookie tins. Wooden birdhouses with their roofs removed also can make for clever places to house the gardens.

Choose a theme. Fairy houses can take on any theme their creators prefer. Themes help children decide what to include in their gardens. For example, a seaside retreat may work well with little reclining chairs, sea grasses and succulents. You can then complete the theme by adding some seashells and colored stones.

Draw up your design. Before securing anything in the container or digging into your garden bed, sketch out a garden design. This gives you an idea of how the finished product will look. Even before planting, gently place plants and other components in their spots and move them around accordingly until you find the desired look.

Include similar-needs plants. Mixing plants that have different requirements can make it challenging to care for the fairy garden, so select plants that require similar levels of sunlight, prefer similar soil conditions and require roughly the same amount of watering.

Herbs are a smart choice because they stay small and are easily maintained.

Don’t forget a fairy dwelling. You will need to add a house for the fairies to inhabit. Small bird houses can work, but you also can consider old teapots, bird-nesting boxes or even homemade houses assembled out of bark and twigs. Use your imagination and the garden will take on a life of its own.

Invite the fairies. Children can invite fairies to take up residence (fairies often show up at night and tend to remain unseen), or children can create their own fairies using craft materials.

Fairy gardens are a fun way to introduce children to gardening. Once families get started, they may want to create entire fairy villages.

Make a trip out to Plant Fair Nursery in Star Valley to see the wonderful “fairy garden” items it has available.

A hobby that works for you doesn’t mean being crafty Hobbies can serve many functions.

Some men and women turn their hobbies into careers, while others rely on their hobbies to provide a relaxing respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Inspiring hobbies can make life more rewarding. While many people experience some trial and error as they seek something to fill their downtime, the following are a few tips to finding a hobby that will enrich your life and maybe even the lives of others.

• Consider your interests. Much like you considered your interests when choosing a career path, you can benefit from doing the same when the time comes to find a hobby. If your work remains your passion, look for ways to share that passion with others. Perhaps you can teach a class at your community’s learning annex or volunteer to work with high school kids who might have expressed an interest in your line of work. If you want to leave the office behind in your downtime, consider your other interests. Avid readers may want to start a local book club, while film buffs may enjoy starting a local film appreciation group. The more passionate you are about a topic or activity, the more

likely you can turn it into a successful and rewarding hobby.

• Consider your needs. Another way to find a successful hobby is to consider why you want one in the first place. If your workdays tend to be hectic and you want a quiet escape, then a peaceful hobby such as painting might do the trick. If you’re looking for a hobby that can add some spice to your social life and help you meet new people, look for something that encourages teamwork or interaction with other people your age.

• Consider your availability.

Another thing to consider when choosing a hobby is how much time you will have to pursue it. If your schedule is especially hectic or unpredictable, avoid hobbies that require a big time commitment, as such activities may prove too difficult to commit to. In such situations, a hobby that allows you to embrace it on your own time will likely prove more enjoyable than one where you must adhere to a schedule that you simply can’t honor. If you have a substantial amount of free time, then something that requires more involvement on your part might be right up your alley,

whereas hobbies that don’t require much regular participation likely won’t provide the respite or fulfillment you’re looking for.

• Consider those closest to you.

Many people find that the best hobbies are the ones that allow them to spend more time with their loved ones, whether those loved ones are their own children, their parents or their close friends.

Parents may want to find an activity that allows them to bond with their children, while young working professionals may want to find an activity that provides them with opportunities to spend time with their equally busy friends.

While crafting is a hobby that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and skill sets, some people are more craft-inclined than others. That doesn’t mean those with little arts and crafts experience cannot make items they can be proud of. The following are a handful of projects for inexperienced crafters who may feel as though they have two left thumbs.

Sandra Lee made a career of teaching people how to blend some prepackaged food items with other ingredients to create semi-homemade menus. Anyone can

use the same mentality to put together craft projects without having to start from scratch. Search the hobby stores or department stores for items that can be paired together. For example, why not glue a 4-by-6-inch picture frame to the top of candlestick holder for an ornate and interesting design element at home?

Mason jars can be embellished with just about anything — from ribbon to fabric to glitter — giving them a decorative touch. Simply giving an item a new coat of paint or adding some decorative tacks or hooks can easily change its look and give it a crafty feel.

Thanks to the bevy of kits available at craft stores, it’s easier than ever to make your own soaps or candles at home. All it usually takes is melting down the medium, adding the desired scents and colors and then allowing them to set in a mold or container. The result may seem like you worked for hours when really it was a relatively easy task. These handmade products can make great hostess gifts or nice touches when guests stay over at your home.

You do not have to be an artist to create T-shirts, aprons or other items that have that personalized touch.

SUDOKU ANSWER

Find the listed words in the diagram. They run in all directions — forward, backward, up, down and diagonally.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You face the possibility of raising your relationship to another level. However, your partner might demand that you make promises for which you’re not sure you’re ready.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) As changes continue, expect things to get a little more hectic at your workplace. An unexpected travel opportunity could open new career prospects.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Confront the person who caused your hurt feelings and demand a full explanation for his or her actions. You’ll not only recover your self-esteem, but you’ll also gain the respect of others.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) That personal problem in the workplace is compounded by someone’s biased interference.

Stand your ground, and you’ll soon find allies gathering around you.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) You don’t accept disapproval easily.

But instead of hiding out in your den to lick your wounded pride, turn the criticism into a valuable lesson for future use.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) That former friend you thought you’d cut out of your life is still affecting other relationships. Counter his or her lies with the truth. Your friends are ready to listen.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) What appears to be an unfair situation might simply be the result of a misunderstanding.

If you feel something is out of balance, by all means, correct it.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A stalled relationship won’t budge until you make the first move. Your partner offers a surprising explanation about what got it mired down in the first place.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A co-worker shares some startling news, but before you can use it to your advantage, make sure it’s true. The weekend favors family matters.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your usual conservative approach to family situations might not work at this time. Keep an open mind about developments, and you might be pleasantly surprised.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Plans might have to be put on hold because of a family member’s problems. Don’t hesitate to get involved. Your help could make all the difference.

PISCES (February 19 to March PREVIOUS CROSSWORD 20) Relationships in the home and in the workplace need your careful attention during this period. Be careful not to allow misunderstandings to create problems.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a keen, insightful intellect and enjoy debating your views with others who disagree with you.

You also love to solve puzzles -the harder, the better.

STO RM CLEAN UP

Fire & Smoke Damage Mitigation, Removal and Restoration

Fire Damage is the most stressful type of property damage that property owners have to live through. The loss of property and valuables leaves many property owners confused and frustrated. Fire damage is more difficult, but not impossible to restore. Dry Force will work quickly to secure your property following a fire and begin the restoration process. In cases where the fire department put out the fire, Dry Force will begin with water extraction before beginning the restoration process.

Smoke Damage occurs because smoke will travel and go through any opening. This allows it to move between rooms and settle into porous materials where it can remain. Our specialists will set up specialty equipment to dissolve the settle smoke particles and remove the odor.

Water & Storm Damage Mitigation, Removal and Restoration

Water and storm incursions must be quickly mitigated to prevent further damage. Carpets, walls, and furnishings are most immediately susceptible to water damage. The longer water stays in place the more destructive it can be. Protect your property and the health of your loved ones by quickly contacting Dry Force in the event of water or storm damage. Our specialists will work quickly to extract any remaining water and place drying equipment to dry out the affected areas to stop damage and prevent mold growth.

HELP US HELP YOU BY TAKING THESE STEPS: • Turn off the source of the water if you can.

• Remove things like lamps, tabletop items and wall mounted valuables.

• If possible, lift or prop furniture away from water affected areas.

• Wipe away any water left on furniture.

Insurance and Claims Information

As the property owner, you have the right to decide who restores your home or business. Most of the time Dry Force is the quickest to respond to your emergency and provides the utmost in quality workmanship and overall customer service. We pride ourselves in going over and above industry standards to restore your property to pre-loss condition.

Dry Force can work alongside your insurance provider to ensure the claims process runs smoothly and efficiently.

We can help you file a claim and guide you through this stressful time. Every customer we service has a dedicated account representative that’s available every step of the way. They will submit your billing to the claims adjuster and ensure that all your questions are answered.

Dry Force uses state of the art equipment, highly trained field technicians and office staff that truly care. Together, we’ll make sure your property damage is restored quickly and your claim gets settled fairly. Many insurance policies oblige the owner to minimize the loss to the property, so contact Dry Force to request a free assessment. Some of the isurance providers we work with include: Allstate, American Modern, Ameriprise Financial, QBE, Chubb, Encompass, Farmers Insurance, Foremost, Mercury Insurance, MetLife, Nationwide, StateFarm, The Hartford, Travelers.
