TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS
UNCOMMON VACATIONS We hear and read about popular vacation destinations and most seem very interesting. Well, how about investigating some of the uncommon locations you usually don’t read about? Let’s begin with Cartagena, Colombia located at the northwestern portion of South America. This is a vacation jewel with so much to see and do including history of the early pirates and settlers. Visitors are quite drawn to the Old City, where a collection of monuments form part of an Unesco World Heritage Site. This part of Cartagena is bordered by a great wall that was partially constructed by pirates who were interested in gold, silver, emeralds and other treasures that the Spanish were collecting. Here, you will find the Cathedral, and the churches of San Pedro Claver and Santo Domingo and the Palace of the Inquisition. Here are fortresses and brightly painted houses. This is a great place to simply walk the streets and explore the buildings, shops and people. In the 1960s the New City began rising and now offers towering white skyscrapers overlooking Cartagena Bay. Here are office buildings, department stores, hotels and condominiums. It’s interesting to walk about here to also shop in the upscale fashion stores along with fine dining in restaurants. You can tour the city by organized tours or perhaps in a horse driven carriage. You can take a one hour catamaran sail in Cartagena Bay during the day or evening. This is Colombia’s fifth largest city and well worth a visit. There are fine hotels and resorts or, you may wish to stay in the Old City at the Sofitel Santa Photo by Ggia via Wikimedia Commons Clara or the Charleston Santa Teresa, both originating Europe’s newest country, Montenegro, is loaded with beautiful mountains and hillsides, fascinating cities, towns and villages as convents in the 17th century.

my lodge so I can see as far as the eye can see. Beautiful country! This is where I am going to write a lot of my books.” When he returned to California he sent Haught a check for $3,000 to build his lodge, and gave orders for Tom Ezell to build the fireplace. A friend from Phoenix named Barton would do the carpenter work. Haught would be the superintendent, and from then on Babe Haught was on the Zane Grey payroll. That winter they fenced off the three acres Grey had purchased, the area where the lodge would be built was cleared and the lumber purchased from Henry Haught’s sawmill. The building project went through the summer of 1922, and when Grey arrived in the fall he saw his lodge for the first time. Haught continued to serve as Zane Grey’s guide until he died in 1929. The 1920s were the heyday of Grey’s Arizona adventures. The spectacular view from his lodge inspired the vivid descriptions of western scenery that are so famous in his novels and the lives of local settlers gave inspiration for his characters. Zane Grey’s last hunting trip to the Rim Country was in 1929. The state had just established hunting seasons for big game, but the season did not suit Grey’s personal schedule. After the season closed he came anyway, bringing with him a camera crew to film the bear hunt. He asked for special permission to hunt out of season, citing his presence was good for Arizona’s economy. State authorities denied him that permission, infuriating Grey who had to pay his camera crew’s expenses. The game warden, who was a member of the large Haught clan, accused him of being “a game hog” and shooting everything in sight. With his importance questioned and his emotions deeply hurt Zane Grey vowed he would never return to Arizona. In fact he never did except to venture over the border at Boulder Dam and another time at the Utah border while researching later projects. A number of his novels are set here in the Rim Country, among them “To The Last Man,” “Under The Tonto Rim” (the story is about the Haught family), “Stranger From the Tonto,” and “Code of the West.” This latter was written about Pappy and Mammy Haught’s Little Green Valley ranch and was filmed at the ranch. Many of the Haught children appear in the film, and when

it was shown in Polly Brown’s Elk Hall in Payson there was a local celebration. While his books are not noted for their literary excellence, they are noted for their vivid imagery and his description of Rim Country scenery. They emphasized the triumph of good over evil, and were vastly popular without the lure of sex. His popularity spread his work worldwide, translated into 21 languages, making him a millionaire many times over. He became one of the best-selling novelists of all time and one of the most widely read authors in history. He was a romanticist who captured the hearts of his readers, a major architect of the genre in literature called “the Western.” His writing became a major factor in creating the idealized image of America’s “West.” Because of this, Zane Grey fans from many nations and our own make their pilgrimage to Payson and the Rim Country to see and experience the places they know through his novels. In 1963 an admirer, William Goettl of Phoenix, purchased the property near Tonto Creek and restored the deteriorating lodge to its original condition.
He hired one of Babe Haught’s sons, Richard, to be the caretaker. However, in 1990 the lodge burned to the ground in the Dude Fire. Due to the efforts and funding of local citizens, headed by Dick Wolfe, the Zane Grey Cabin Foundation has restored an exact replica on the grounds of the Rim Country Museum. Admirers of the author still come regularly to tour the cabin and to view the many Zane Grey artifacts in the museum.

Photos by Pete Aleshire/Roundup
The Payson Community Garden is already yielding produce for the community food bank, sunflowers and irises for the bees and scarecrows to amuse the birds. Volunteers have also just finished planting the pumpkin patch, which will raise money for the garden and the food bank with pumpkin sales in the fall.
It’s July, and the Payson Community Garden has leafed out, while flowers bloom on plants. Gardeners love to answer questions and have their plots admired. In mid-June, gardeners joined together for a potluck and to spend the day working to clean up the shared parts of the garden. Some gardeners who planted early have already started to donate 20 percent of their pickings to area food banks. “Our goal this year is to exceed 12,000 pounds of produce by closing day,” said Roger Kreimeyer, garden director. He said he and garden staff visited the St. Vincent de Paul food bank and staff there said the donations already given are “loved” by the recipients. The purpose of the Community Garden is to
give gardeners the knowledge to grow a luscious, productive, healthy and organic garden. To do that, the Community Garden hosts classes starting in March to prepare gardeners to build up the perfect organic soil, build watering systems, recognize bugs and diseases, and choose plants that will produce exactly what gardeners desire. The Community Garden is located next to Payson First Church of the Nazarene at 200 E. Tyler Parkway. Anyone can stop by during the posted regular hours for a tour, or to just sit and enjoy the butterfly garden. July hours are from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m., and then from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday. For more information, please visit the website at http://www.paysoncommunitygardenaz.com.
With a bounty of fresh ingredients available, it’s the perfect time to make fresh tomato salsa, otherwise known as pico de gallo or salsa fresca. FRESH TOMATO SALSA
Prep time: 6 minutes Yield: Makes 3 to 4 cups of salsa When using fresh chile peppers, always taste first before adding! Some peppers are hotter than others and you really can’t tell unless you taste them. Just take a very small taste. You’ll be able to gauge the heat of the pepper and will be better able to judge how much you need. INGREDIENTS
2-3 medium sized fresh tomatoes (from 1 pound to 1-1/2 pounds), stems removed 1/2 red onion 2 serrano chiles or 1 jalapeño chile (stems, ribs, seeds removed), less or more to taste Juice of one lime 1/2 cup chopped cilantro Salt and pepper to taste Pinch of dried oregano (crumble in your fingers before adding), more to taste Pinch of ground cumin, more to taste METHOD
1. Start by roughly chopping the tomatoes, chiles and onions. Be very careful while handling the chile peppers. If you can, avoid touching the cut peppers with your hands. (use disposable gloves or hold the peppers with a plastic sandwich bag.) Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and hot water after handling and avoid touching your eyes for several hours. Set aside some of the seeds from the peppers. If the salsa isn’t hot enough, you can add a few for more heat. 2. Place all of the ingredients in a food processor. Pulse
only a few times, just enough to finely dice the ingredients, not enough to purée. If you don’t have a food processor, you can finely dice by hand. 3. Place in a serving bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. If the chiles make the salsa too hot, add some more chopped tomato. If not hot enough, carefully add a few of the seeds from the chiles, or add a little more ground cumin. Let sit for an hour for the flavors to combine. Serve with chips, tortillas, tacos, burritos, tostadas, quesadillas, pinto or black beans. Source: http://www.simplyrecipes.com

OUTDOORS UNDER THE RIM | DENNIS PIRCH
Where are the
FISH? Game and Fish cuts back stocking East Verde and Tonto Creek
We have been waiting, and it has finally happened! The East Verde River is flowing at a constant rate now that the pumps are working and the C.C. Cragin Reservoir is near full with cold mountain water. The water temperature and pH is perfect for the stocked rainbow trout and the food sources available are abundant for rapid growth, needless to say the conditions are excellent. Having walked many miles of the creek I have observed the deep pools, cutbanks and rock eddies that have been created by the steady flow of 35 cubic feet per second from the pumps at Washington Park to the deep pools down river from East Verde Estates. All of this habitat is optimum for establishing a rainbow trout fishery, provided there is a systematic stocking program of catchable fish. The reason this stretch of water needs to be replenished with trout weekly is to enable the thousands of visitors who camp in the area or stop by one of the day use areas along the creek to hopefully catch a fighting rainbow. The East Verde River and Tonto Creek are two of the most popular destinations for the weekend anglers who bring the kids, bait their hooks with PowerBait or a worm, and wait for the thrill of that child catching their first trout in the Rim Country. One thing for sure, if they are successful they will want to return and later may get hooked on fishing! Both of these creeks are readily accessible by a paved road that increases the foot traffic and number of beginning anglers anxious to catch a trout. Consequently, the Tonto and East Verde require a high number of catchable rainbows in the summer months of peak vacationers and weekend trips out of the Valley heat. These heavily fished waters require weekly high volume numbers of rainbow trout to satisfy the needs of the fishing public. I am a frequent visitor to both creeks and always have a rod in hand to try my luck at catching one of the stocked rainbows for the thrill of the fight. Over the last six weeks of summer I have noticed very few fish in these two streams where in years past there was an abundance of catchables in the 9- to 12-inch range with an occasional 2-pounder lurking in the shadows. I knew something was not right.
On Thursday and Friday during the late afternoon just prior to the three-day Independence holiday I visited both creeks and found very few stocked rainbows ready for the thousands of weekend anglers who were going to try their luck at catching a campfire fish dinner. The next couple of days I hiked the same shoreline and found very few anglers with even one trout on their stringer. Where are the fish, I can’t even see one in the crystal clear water of Tonto Creek? The bottom line is that the trout are not there, because they are not being stocked in the numbers of previous years. The all too familiar Arizona Game and Fish stock truck is not making the weekly rounds and replenishing these two creeks with the numbers of rainbows needed for the crowds of weekend anglers. When the truck is on the Houston Mesa Road bucketing fish from the First Crossing all the way to the pump station everyone in all the small subdivisions along the way know the river will have more fish for the recreational anglers. In previous years the weekly number of catchable rainbows exceeded 600 fish for the 14 miles of fishable trout water. Since the pumps have been turned on, the weekly number has dwindled to about 100 fish! Likewise, Tonto Creek is averaging about 120 fish per week, where it had over 600 fish being stocked weekly. It is no surprise when most anglers are not catching any fish or even seeing one swimming in one of the many pools. Recently, three experienced anglers fished a quarter mile of the East Verde where the highest concentration of rainbows have been in the past seasons and the results were one trout caught and two other hits. If there were trout in that water, they would have caught them, these guys are that good! The reality is that there are very few trout in the East Verde, and the rainbows that are in the creek are triploids that are sterile, not able to naturally spawn and reproduce. The information I have, is that there is a research study project that has been ongoing for a year, which has called for a drastic reduction in the number of trout being stocked in these two popular creeks. The immediate results are far fewer trout being caught by all levels of anglers, particularly

the beginners. Speaking as a former coach, “Success Breeds Success.” These young anglers need to have some initial success in catching trout, if that happens they will be the license holders of the future. As adults they will return to those places where fond memories were made. This is one research study that if continued will be very costly to the future of sport fishing. The East Verde River is the perfect creek to create an interest for youngsters in fishing, provided they have some success in catching a trout. It is one of the closest mountain trout waters to the Valley where memories are made by catching a fighting rainbow. When those young anglers, accompanied by parents or grandparents, catch that first trout, chances are good they can get hooked on fishing for the next generation. This weekend take a child fishing, and enjoy the Rim Country, God’s creation.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A bit of Arian contrariness could be keeping you from getting all the facts. Turn it off, and tune in to what you need to hear. It could make all the difference this week. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Getting an answer to a vital question involving financial matters might take longer than you’d expected. A new factor might have to be dealt with before anything can move forward. Be patient. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Use your good sense to see what might really be driving a colleague’s workplace agenda. What you learn could lead to a new way of handling some old problems. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A change of mind might once again turn out to be a good thing. True, most of your co-workers might not like the delay, but as before, they might appreciate what follows from it. LEO (July 23 to August 22) You revel in golden opportunities this week. One cautionary note, though: Be careful to separate the gold from the glitter before you make a choice. Someone you trust can help. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Marriage is important this week, as are other partnerships. Don’t let yourself be overwhelmed by sentiment. Instead, try to steer a path between emotion and common sense. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Dealing with someone who has let you down is never easy. But the sooner you’re able to clear up this problem, the sooner other problems can be successfully handled. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A “friend” who is willing to bend the rules to gain an advantage for both of you is no friend. Reject the offer and stay on your usual straight and narrow path. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) After all the effort you’ve been putting in both on the job and for friends and family, it’s a good time to indulge your own needs. The weekend could bring a pleasant surprise. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You might want to do something new this weekend. Close your eyes and imagine what it could be, and then do it, or come up with the closest practical alternative. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Your good deeds bring you the appreciation you so well deserve. But, once again, be careful of those who might want to exploit your generous nature for their own purposes. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Trolling for compliments isn’t necessary. You earned them, and you’ll get them. Concentrate this week on moving ahead into the next phase of your program. BORN THIS WEEK: Meeting new people usually means you’re making new friends. People want to be reflected in your shining light.
