JILL JACKSON’S HOLLYWOOD | TONY RIZZO

Will Cruise star opposite Beyonce? HOLLYWOOD — Tom Cruise, who must have been shocked by the failure of “Rock of Ages” (though he got good notices) and his recent marriage break-up, was stuck on location in Iceland, working on his latest film, “Oblivion,” and couldn’t go to New York to confront Katie Holmes. The film, budgeted at $130 million and co-starring Morgan Freeman, is more along the lines of his “Mission: Impossible” franchise. It’s about a veteran soldier sent to a far-off planet to destroy the remains of an alien race. It’s set for an April 2013 release. Meanwhile, no one will confirm if Cruise will play opposite Beyonce in “A Star Is Born.” Did “Rock of Ages” help, or hurt, his chances for that role? Brad Pitt is before the cameras shooting “Twelve Years as a Slave” with Michael Fassbender, Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Giamatti and Alfre Woodard. The film, shooting in Louisiana, is about a free black man living in New York who is kidnapped in 1841 and sold into slavery in the Deep South. Pitt also is one of the producers of the film being directed by Steve

McQueen. Then Pitt will star opposite Michael Fassbender (again) and Oscar-winner Javier Bardem in “The Counselor” for Ridley Scott, who gave him his breakthrough role in l991’s “Thelma and Louise.” People keep asking me what Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler were doing together at a recent Lakers game. They don’t make the same kind of movies ... or do they? Actually, Jack has a small role in Sandler’s animated 3D film “Hotel Transylvania,” due out Sept. 28. Sandler plays Dracula, and Nicholson joins Selena Gomez (Justin Bieber’s girlfriend), Andy Samberg, Kevin James, Fran Drescher, Jon Lovitz, Cee Lo Green, Steve Buscemi, Molly Shannon and David Spade. Dracula, who owns a five-star resort catering to the world’s most famous monsters, invites his monster friends to celebrate his daughter Mavis’ (Gomez) 118th birthday party.

IN THE KITCHEN | FAMILY FEATURES

A NEW TAKE ON PICNIC FAVORITES Picnics are a perfect way to enjoy getting together with friends and family this summer. No matter what your destination — beach, park or just your backyard — there’s no need to settle for standard fare. Instead, make summertime favorites like pasta salad, potato salad, vegetable dip and California style wraps even more delicious by adding the new Hellmann’s or Best Foods Mayonnaise Dressing with Olive Oil recipe. Made with high-quality ingredients, including olive oil, cage-free eggs, and vinegar, it combines the creamy, rich taste of Hellmann’s or Best Foods with the delicious goodness of olive oil. Visit www.Hellmanns.com or www.BestFoods.com for more summer recipes and additional information.

PICNIC FOOD SAFETY TIPS Make sure you properly store and serve your picnic treats so they stay fresh and delicious. COLD FOOD

• Cold, perishable food should be kept in a cooler at 40º F or below until it’s time to serve. • Foods like cold salads or desserts in individual serving dishes can be placed directly on ice. Drain off water as ice melts, and replace ice frequently. HOT FOOD

• Hot food should be kept hot, at or above 140º F. • Wrap hot foods well, and place in an insulated container until serving. Once served, no food should sit out for longer than two hours — one hour if the outdoor temperature is above 90º F. To be safe, throw away any food that has been left out longer.

RIM HISTORY RIM HISTORY BACK WHEN | STAN BROWN

The Wild West in the Rim Country CHAPTER 22: ANCIENT BONES

For some weeks we have been investigating the violence that plagued the Rim Country during the closing years of the 19th and early years of the 20th centuries. In this concluding chapter we take a flight of imagination back over the centuries to seek answers for several discoveries of ancient bones in the Payson area. The Rim Country is an archaeologist’s paradise. This is a land that abounded with human life from at least 1,000 BC to 1,250 AD. Burials have been found in the most unlikely places, in addition to identified prehistoric camps such as the Risser, Shoofly, and STAN BROWN Goat Camp ruins. The bones of two American hunter-gatherers surfaced during the renovation of Green Valley Park, according to Public Works Director Buzz Walker. This incident was passed over with little fanfare for fear the public would begin digging for more bones. Then in February of 1996 the remains of a pre-historic man and his pottery were unearthed on Main Street across from the Lone Pine Hotel. The utility crew digging a conduit trench had made the eerie find. In accordance with Arizona State Law, the State Museum sent an anthropologist to inspect the bones and permission was given to rebury the remains where they were found. The utility project continued, but if any additional human remains had been found everything would have been halted while a survey of the entire area was conducted to determine its importance. Fortunately for business on Main Street that did not happen. The burial was apparently an isolated one. One day as I stood staring at the embankment on Hillcrest Drive, my eye caught a red object protruding from the soil. This area had been the trash dump for the Risser Ruin community. Trash dumps were often used as burial sites because of the ease of digging there. When the developer put in the street, a bulldozer simply plowed through, destroying an undetermined number of burials. I picked the red object out of the bank to find it was a small fetish, a beautifully carved coyote or fox from an argillite stone. There was a hole in the animal’s back where a thong had run through to create a necklace that was around the neck of one whose body had been buried there. I would like to have kept it and given it to my wife, but dutifully placed it in the Rim Country Museum’s display of ancient people. However, drought and overpopulation ended an era. Charles Redman, in his book “People Of the Tonto Rim,” states, “Our own excavations and archaeological surveys, as well as those by others, indicate that by 1,300 AD, and probably a bit earlier, the Payson region had been depopulated.”[1] There was a 200- to 300-year hiatus before the next wave of population moved into the area, the Apache and Yavapai people. They often pitched their seasonal camps on the ruins of their predecessors because these locations were near water and provided an abundance of tools for arrowheads and spears, matates to grind corn and seeds, as well as a sense of spiritual power from the ancients. Then there was the day of excitement when a plumber came upon a skeleton in a crawlspace at the old Julia Randall Elementary School. This was an unlikely grave, so theories were conjured about a murder or some other foul play. However, pieces of the mystery fell into place when Duane Kaufman

Author at the site of a prehistoric camp, later occupied by the Apaches, looking at the manos left behind. This site was on a hill above Webber Creek. Below right: Neanderthal skull showing the occipital bun compared to skull of modern human.

came forward to tell about a boyhood prank he and two of his buddies carried out in the early 1960s. The Kaufmans had moved in next door to the late Anna Mae Deming, and one day, as Duane cut through her backyard, he spotted bones protruding from the ground. He and his friends clandestinely dug up onethird of a human skeleton, and they concocted a marvelous plan. They knew of a dungeon-like basement under the original part of their school, and a crawl space that led to it. They would place the bones there, and then lead younger pupils to this secret place and “scare the willies” out of them. Their plans were stopped as soon as it was detected by the teachers, but the bones remained undisturbed until the plumber discovered then in 2003. The partial skeleton was sent out to be analyzed, and the report was that these were prehistoric bones from one of the legendary “bun-heads” who lived in the Payson area. That nickname results from a fascinating story about the Rim Country’s earliest burials. These people were here long before other ancient groups moved in. There were the Sinagua to the northwest, the Anazazi to the northeast, the Mogollon to the southeast and the Hohokam to the southwest. Payson became a center for trading and racial mixing. But the people “native” to the Payson area were not genetically related to any of these. Rather they were related to an archaic people who lived in the Southwest from 4,000 to 1,500 BC, and were identified by a protrusion on the back of the head called an “occipital bun.” This extension of the skull ranged in size from a baseball to a softball and was located about where a hair bun would be — thus the moniker bun-head. The additional room in the skull was for the visual portion of the brain, probably indicating a highly developed ability to spot game during a hunt. Another intriguing aspect of this is that the occipital bun has been found in European Neanderthals and Australian Aborigines. The Tonto Apaches were among the “late comers,” living in the Payson area from the 1500s AD. They had a number of burial sites around the area. The late Chief Melton Campbell told me that when his peo-

ple lived on Indian Hill individuals were buried east of McLane where it tops the hill, overlooking today’s high school. The last burial there was in the 1940s. Another of the prereservation Apache burial sites in Payson was on the south slope of Burch Mesa. In this area south of the airport a band of Apaches camped at Butterfly Springs; the Apache name for the area translates to “A Spring of Water in the Oak Grove.” One day I accompanied there a party of forest rangers, their archaeologist, and tribal elder Vince Randall, along with several others from the local tribe. With developers breathing down the neck of the Forest Service, a survey was being conducted to determine evidence of Apache occupation. There was plenty: shards, grinding tools, old junipers whose limbs had been cut to fuel nearby roasting pits. The tribal leaders also pointed out the rock outcropping along north Vista Road where burials had occurred. A favorite place to consign their dead was a crevice or an overhang in the rock. Then the body was sealed in with rocks. I recalled an oral history with Pearl Hilligas Morrison from 1970. She said, “We found a skeleton in a rock over there on Burch Mesa. We kids used to love to play up there, and we found a skeleton with all its beads… but we wouldn’t touch anything.” The young girl Julia Randall was among Pearl’s playmates who discovered the bones. Today we walk gently on this land that has been hallowed by so many before us. To come in contact with the artifacts they left behind makes us feel kindred to those people who, like us, thrilled to the storms, the sunsets, the wind in the trees, the smell of pine, and the wild animals.

THE ARTISTS

Daniel Rodriguez and Maria Kavanaugh 2:30 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 30 America’s Beloved Tenor Daniel Rodriguez was the New York City cop who helped bring the country an uplifting spirit of promise and hope with his stirring rendition of “God Bless America” after the September 11th terrorist attacks. Daniel has appeared on television’s The Late Show with David Letterman, Larry King Live, Live with Regis and Kelly and Oprah, among many other high profile events. Accompanied by piano and bass, Daniel will be joined by his talented wife, soprano Marla

Daniel Rodriguez and Maria Kavanaugh

Kavanaugh, who won praise from San Francisco critics as “the voice of a sorrowing angel” for her poignant portrayal in The Prince and the Pauper. Their musical program will tell a beautiful story of how they met and include songs from the U.S. and Marla’s native country, New Zealand. To those who have come to know him as the “singing policeman,” it is no surprise that Daniel Rodriguez is known as America’s Beloved Tenor. At 16, he presented his first recital at Carnegie Hall; at 17, he was billed as the “17-year-old Baritone.” Then, at age 19, he put music aside to raise his family, going to work to make ends meet. He worked at the post office, and then as a police officer in the New York City Police Department. It was in uniform that local New York audiences began to discover his voice and his passion for the music he sang. Before the events of 9-11, he was already quite well known around New York City as he had sung in “Broadway on Broadway,” in local opera and musical theater productions. As an “official singer” for the NYPD Ceremonial Unit, he sang at many functions, and later, at memorials in the aftermath of the September 11th attacks. The Abrams Brothers 7 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 17 Music is in their blood. You can feel it in your bones. This Canadian trio of teenagers (fourth-generation musicians) is not shy about sharing their country-flavored style with the world. The Abrams Brothers merge the sounds of Bob Dylan and Arlo Guthrie with their own homespun panache to create never-beforeheard music. Barely adults, Elijah, John and James are artists in every sense of the word and already have the credentials of veterans. Having performed at the Grand Ole Opry, toured Europe in 2006, performed at Jacob’s Ladder Musical Festival in Israel and received the Daniel Pearl Memorial violin in 2006, their bluegrass, gospel vibes are sending waves of recognition to the legend Arlo Guthrie himself. “I know I will be hearing from The Abrams Brothers for a long time to come,” he said.

Violin, guitar, intricate finger-work and vocals are just some of the factors that come together to make The Abrams Brothers modern-day virtuosos. John, 18, James, 15, and cousin Elijah, 18, are fourth-generation musicians and have musical roots reaching back to their great-grandparents. John and James, who started playing at the ages of 9 and 6, respectively, and Elijah demonstrate mastery over their instruments (John on guitar, mandolin and violin, James on violin and viola, and Elijah on upright bass) and vocal chords, sounding like well-rounded, fully developed veteran musicians. 42Five 2:30 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 4 What’s an instrumental band with no instruments? It’s not “magic” or “make believe.” It’s simply the voices of five guys: Ryan, Earl, Geoff, Danny and Layne — known better as 42Five. They’ve come together to create a new form of entertainment singing songs we all love, from the ’60s to the tunes of today, including Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing,” Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now” and Three Dog Night’s “Joy to the World.” This award-winning a capella quintet is the entertainment for all ages, for all families and for all size audiences. From the trumpet to the drums, you’ll hear it all from their voices without a glimpse of shiny brass or drumsticks scattered on the floor. This new, innovative group is setting the bar high and using their technique to bring to life vocal impossibilities. Not only do they melt audiences with their flawless harmonies, their charming sense of humor is sure to create a stir in the hearts of everyone. 42Five (pronounced “Four Two Five”) has been performing their own unique brand of entertainment since the turn of the century. Evolving from a street corner barbershop sound, and drawing on funk, rock, jazz, and blues — 42Five is unlike any musical experience around, recreating an entire instrumental band with nothing but their ﬁve voices — a feat which has to be seen to be believed. The group is based in Orlando, Fla. 42Five brings timeless, classic music to life with CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

renewed freshness and infuses their beautiful harmonies with a lovable sense of humor and style all of their own. 42Five is blazing new trails and winning the hearts and imaginations of audiences big and small and of every race, creed, sex, and age. With only 5 voices, no tricks, just talent, their energizing performance always leaves the audience standing on their feet, singing along and wanting more. Prima Trio 7 p.m., Friday, Nov. 30 Grand Prize and Gold Medal Winners of the Prestigious Fischoff Chamber Music Competition, the Prima Trio distinguishes itself not only with its remarkable playing, but through the repertoire it performs. Formed in 2004 while its members were studying at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music in Ohio, this group actually plays four instruments. Gulia Gurevich (born in Uzbekistan to a distinguished musical family) switches between violin and viola. Boris Allekhverdyan (B.M. from the Tchaikovsky Moscow Conservatory) plays clarinet and Anastasia Dedik (1st prize winner of the Lee Biennial Piano Competition and the Cliburn Institute/Piano Texas Concerto Competition) is concert pianist. Prima Trio’s repertoire ranges from beloved chamber music standards to such exotic gems as Armenian composer Aram Khatchaturian’s soulful “Trio for Violin, Clarinet and Piano” to S. I. Glick’s festive “The Klezmer’s Wedding.” “Serenade” by American composer Peter Schickele (aka P.D.Q. Bach) is the grand finale of every concert. Masters of Motown 7 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 22 Saluting one of the greatest times in musical history, Masters of Motown is recreating an entire Motor City experience. The 10-member cast, including three female vocalists, three male vocalists, guitar, bass, drums and keys, has come together to reproduce the style, sound and ultimate feel that Motown brought to us years ago. They become Stevie Wonder, Four Tops, Diane Ross and the Supremes, and even the Jackson Five. The show features an entirely live performance, with seasoned musicians and performers catering to every whim of an oldies lover. During the ultimate stroll down memory lane, Masters of Motown perform hits such as “Get Ready” by the Temptations, “Dancing in the Street” by Martha and the Vandellas and “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. It’s a celebration, a chance to reminisce and homage to those who made musical history. For many, Masters of Motown is the ultimate stroll down memory lane. For younger generations, the show offers a way to experience a period in our country’s past that produced many of the greatest music acts ever recorded.

42Five

Legacy of Floyd Cramer featuring Jason Coleman 7 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 21 Floyd Cramer is one of the most admired instrumentalists of all time. His signature piano styling is exemplified by the smash hit, “Last Date,” and can be heard on classic songs by countless music legends, including Patsy Cline, Roy Orbison and Elvis Presley.

MUSIC FOR YOUR LIFE FROM PAGE 9

Floyd’s distinctive sound is still alive and powerful today through the music of his grandson, Jason Coleman, who has been playing the piano since he could reach the keys. After Jason made his Grand Ole Opry debut at age 17, he was given the honor of playing for the Country Music Hall of Fame Medallion Ceremony recognizing his grandfather’s induction into the Hall of Fame. Jason has taken to the studio and stage for his own career producing a collection of his own albums and embarking on his first-ever nationwide tour. The Legacy of Floyd Cramer highlights the songs that featured Floyd on the original recordings or were Floyd’s own self-penned hits. With these exciting and nostalgic performances, Jason Coleman is ensuring the “legacy continues.” Now 26, Jason makes his home in Hendersonville, Tennessee, with his wife, Natalie. Ricky Nelson Remembered — Matthew and Gunnar Nelson 7 p.m., Saturday, March 2 Listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the only family in entertainment history with three generations of #1 hitmakers, the Nelson family is an American entertainment dynasty. Ricky Nelson was America’s original “Teen Idol.” He established himself as one of the most important rock artists of the ’50s and ’60s with over 100 million record sales and three #1’s of his own. His sons, Mathew and Gunnar, had double-platinum success in the early 1990s with three Top 10 singles, four #1 MTV videos, five Top 40 Billboard Hits and they have sold over 6.5 million albums worldwide. In Ricky Nelson Remembered, Mathew and Gunnar Nelson breathe new life into their father’s hit songs, “Hello Mary Lou,” “Travelin’ Man,” “Garden Party,” along with many more. Their soaring sibling harmonies are accompanied by never before seen video footage of the Nelson family with interviews from celebrities influenced by their iconic father. Side Street Strutters 7 p.m., Monday, May 6 Feel the searing rhythms of “Sing, Sing Sing,” savor the lush melody “At Last,” and reminisce to “Don’t Get Around Much Anymore” as the Side Street Strutters present a new musical experience showcasing the vocal stylings of Meloney Collins. Their program, Shiny Stockings, brings together an extensive repertoire, colorful costumes, tap dancing, and 26 years of musicianship to create a performance which breathes new life into songs by the great songstresses. While the Strutters offer their award-winning musical arrangements, personable humor and showmanship, Ms. Collins brings her experience of singing with greats like Burt Bacharach, John Tesh and Julie Andrews sharing her sassy yet sultry personality, radiant stage presence, and soulful voice. Together these artists create a performance of timeless melodies and establish themselves as a permanent part of the American cultural landscape. In 1983 a group of talented musicians attending Arizona State University formed a musical ensemble whose artistic focus centered around the musical traditions of early New Orleans jazz. Now, over 25 years later, the same core members are still together and have expanded their musical palette to include over a half century of jazz styles from Dixieland and Blues, to Big Band Swing and popular standards. The Strutters have presented formal concerts,

symphony pops performances and student outreach programs in 50 states, seven European countries, Canada and Mexico. Their superb musicianship and award winning orchestrations have earned them national and international acclaim: State Arts Council Roster Artists; First Place Honors, Breda International Jazz Competition, Holland; radio and

television appearances; International Association of Jazz Educators Outstanding Musicianship Award; appearances at dozens of European and U.S. jazz festivals, a guest presidential performance, and 8 CD recordings.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A turn in a relationship upsets the amorous Arian, who is puzzled by Cupid’s romantic antics. Be patient and considerate. The confusion soon will sort itself out. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It’s a good time for travel-loving Taureans to take off for funfilled jaunts to new places. And don’t be surprised if Cupid tags along for what could be a very eventful trip. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You appear to be of two minds about continuing a relationship that seems to be riding roughshod over your emotions. A frank talk could help you decide one way or the other. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Stepping back from a relationship problem provides a new perspective on how to deal with it. Meanwhile, watch your words. Something said in anger now could backfire later. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) A changing situation makes the Big Cat uneasy. But hold on until things settle down around the 4th. Meanwhile, continue your good work on that still-unfinished project. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) A decided improvement in a workplace situation results in an unexpected, but very welcome, added benefit for everyone. Personal relationships also improve. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Money matters remain a bit unsettled but soon will ease into the kind of stability you appreciate. Meanwhile, an expanding social life offers a chance to make new friends. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Use an unexpected roadblock in your monetary dealings to reassess your financial plans and make changes, if necessary. It soon will be smooth sailing again. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Aspects of love are strong for both single and paired Sagittarians. Professional dealings also thrive under the Sag’s clever handling of difficult situations. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Set a realistic goal and follow it through to completion. Remember: You’re more likely to impress the right people with one well-done job than with lots of jobs left undone. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You like to plan ahead. That’s fine. But be prepared to make some changes because of an unsettled period that influences your aspects through the 4th. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) A brief phase of instability affects your usual work cycle. Use the time to catch up on chores around the house or office. Things settle down soon after the 4th. BORN THIS WEEK: You love being the center of attention and probably would be a big success in show business. © 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

Little League elbow is overuse injury BY PAUL G. DONOHUE, M.D. NORTH AMERICA SYND., INC.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My 12-year-old son is something of a phenomenon when it comes to baseball, and he loves playing the game. I haven’t pushed him into it. He’s a particularly awesome pitcher, and his coaches are amazed at what he can do. I practice with him every day. He now has a sore elbow in his pitching arm. I think it might be Little League elbow. My wife blames me, because, she says I overwork him. I need some guidelines on how much throwing is too much. Thanks. — R.C. ANSWER: The elbow is a site that’s a potential calamity for the immature skeleton. Children have vulnerable spots in their bones called growth plates. These bone parts haven’t yet become bone. They permit elongation of bones. One of those sites is the elbow. To make sure we’re talking about the same thing, let the boy’s throwing arm hang down with his palm facing forward. Feel the area of the elbow next to the body. That’s where Little League elbow makes itself known. It’s an overuse injury, meaning the boy is throwing too many pitches with too little rest. The incidence of elbow pain in young baseball players is quite high — 20 percent to 40 percent. It can be avoided with a sensible program that limits the number of throws per day. First, your son should not throw until the pain leaves. Then he can resume throwing, but gradually do so. Eventually he can work up to the Little League’s standards for pitching for 12-year-olds. If a boy or girl of this age throws 66 pitches in one game, the child needs four days of rest — no throwing; if it’s 51 to 65 pitches, three days of rest are required; 30 to 50 pitches, two rest days; 21 to 35 pitches, one rest day. In practice, he should be limited to 20 pitches if he throws daily. It he throws more, he should follow the schedule for the number of pitches thrown in a game. If your boy’s pain lasts a week, have the family doctor examine him. If he really has Little League elbow, healing can take six to 12 weeks. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Will you kindly tell me what is the appropriate time interval for a repeat colonoscopy? I have different information from doctors. I had my first colonoscopy when I was 51. The doctor who performed it said I didn’t need another until I was 61. A different doctor says I need a repeat at 56. Which is it? — E.P. ANSWER: If no polyps were found on your first exam and if you have no close relatives who have had colon cancer, then the usual time for the next exam is 10 years. Otherwise, it is five years. The booklet on colon cancer explains its detection and treatment. Readers can order a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue — No. 505W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.
