SAVAGES

Unique and disquieting Director Oliver Stone brings a kind of intensity and genius to his films that make them unique, captivating and often disquieting. His most recent film, “Savages” is all of these. It is however never boring, never ordinary. Another thing that Oliver Stone can do better than most is to bring forth mightily memorable performances from his actors. Some of his actors in this film are great or near great on their own merits. But Stone makes them better. I don’t know if Salma Hayek has ever been better. She has the chance to be the (very) bad girl, which actors often say gives them license to act their little socks off, which she does. Benicio Del Toro is actually horrifying as another bad guy in a film about bad guys. John Travolta comes out of himself as a dirty DEA agent. We do not recognize him by his usual mannerisms and acting habits. He is new made and the better for it. This is film acting at the very top of the possible. And these are the supporting players. Little-known Blake Lively (recently in “The Town”) and Aaron Johnson play the dope dealer’s girlfriend and one of her dope dealer boyfriends, respectively. But the surprise actor in the leading trio is Taylor Kitsch. Kitsch is nothing if not busy. He starred in April’s “John Carter”, a very expen-

sive science fiction flop. Then he starred in “Battleship,” a very expensive science fiction flop. But here he shines. The story line is about a corporate hostile takeover. The two young business guys grow some of the finest marijuana on earth and have a happy life with their money, toys and shared girlfriend. Johnson well plays the botanist as a California guy with the technical skills for agriculture. Kitsch is a returned Navy SEAL who provides security — and the original Afghanistanbred strain of pot seeds. The Mexican corporate raiders try to take them over. There is a lot of violence, double dealing and conniving — and there is a lot of killing in very bad ways. The screenplay is chock full of clever, sometimes insightful, dialog. There is a beautiful interchange between the head baddie (Salma Hayek) and the dope dealer’s girlfriend that is truly remarkable. Oliver Stone, Shane Salerno and Don Winslow crafted the screenplay. This film is, however, horrifying. The Del Toro character descends beyond brutality and into the truly disgusting. Nice young potheads change for the much worse. This four saw blade film is only for those with a high tolerance for human depravity portrayed by the best in the business.

Suburban dads who form a neighborhood watch group as a way to get out of their day-to-day family routines find themselves defending the Earth from an alien invasion.

RESTORATION

Already we were sailing past tall pines and rugged mountains. We witnessed all this from the comfort of our balcony. At 5:45 p.m. it was time to head to the dining room for our first sitting dinner. When one checks in at the pier each passenger is given a cruise card with your name and what meal sitting you are assigned to along with your table number and this is also your room key. It’s that easy! We were escorted to our fine table for two where we met our waiter and bus boy, given menus and we ordered our first meal aboard Zuiderdam. It was perfect. I ordered prime rib and Norma requested salmon. The food is superior to most restaurants ashore. The only problem is not eating too much and gaining weight. The next day was spent at sea during which time we acquainted ourselves with the ship and all of its offerings, the many public rooms, lounges and handsome theatre which seats more than 1,200 guests. The entertainment that is offered each night in the theatre is presented at 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. in order for all guests to be able to view the wonderful shows. When the week was over both Norma and I felt that the Zuiderdam shows were the best we had yet seen at sea. They were very professional, well written, choreographed, and performed. The audience gave the performers standing ovations each night. The morning of the second day we cruised into Juneau, capital of Alaska. After docking, we boarded a complementary bus to take us the short distance into town. We saw government buildings along with shops of various types. Very near the ship was a tram, which took us to the top of the mountain in back of the town in order to get a view of the entire area from 7,000 feet. Juneau has a population of some 40,000 residents. Several interesting sight-

seeing tours are available here, including flights over several glaciers including the Mendenhall and Taku as well as aerial tours around the entire area. This is great if you are a photographer. You can also dog sled, go fishing, go kayaking, do some whale watching, visit wildlife areas and much more. The next day we awoke as the Zuiderdam docked in Skagway. This is a small town that has quite a lot of history dating back to the famed Gold Rush of 1898. Word got out in 1897 that men were finding a lot of gold in the Yukon and to enter the mining area you had to take a ship from Vancouver to Skagway then board the White Pass and Yukon Railroad to the Yukon Territory. In the earliest days of the “rush” men had to use packhorses to get to the Yukon, traversing up the high mountains through the Chilkoot Pass. The railroad was built in just two years; creating a much easier passage to the gold. Today, cruise ship passengers can take the train up the high mountain range to the Yukon border where it turns around to return to Skagway. The scenery is breathtaking. At one point you can still see the “trail of ‘98” where the packhorses climbed the high mountains to Whitehorse in the Yukon. The rail cars still have potbelly stoves to keep passengers warm on cold days. We took the rail trip knowing the scenery would be spectacular. This takes several hours in the afternoon. Other sightseeing tours available included a glacier discovery by helicopter, Chilkoot Trail hike and float trip, Klondike summit and salmon bake, and gold dredging. One passenger I ran into showed me quite a lot of nuggets he had dredged on this tour. There are also other interesting tours available here. Cruising the Inside Passage

during most of this Alaskan cruise you really aren’t aware that you are at sea. It is like being on a lake with amazing scenery almost all the time. Our forth day was spent entirely in Glacier Bay. Not every cruise ship can enter this National Park but, Holland America Lines has been offering summer cruises to Alaska for many, many years and their ships are allowed to cruise in this very scenic bay. The ship is guided close to the glacier face to allow an up-close view of the tall ice entering the bay. Sometimes it breaks off and falls into the sea. The Zuiderdam moved very slowly this day, permitting all passengers to witness the wonders of Glacier Bay. Day five was spent in Ketchikan. This is mainly a fishing town with many boats used during the summers to catch salmon, crab and more for our dining pleasure. Shore tours offered to passengers here included kayaking, rainforest zipline expeditions, back country Jeep and canoe safaris, Alaskan wilderness survival tours that teach skills, Bering Sea crab fisherman’s tour, Totem State Park, salmon fishing and still more. Day number six was cruising back to Vancouver through the Inside Passage. We spent most of the day sitting comfortably on our balcony. As we awoke the last morning we were docking again at Canada Place and following breakfast we left the ship, collected our bags, and caught a taxi to Hertz to rent a car for a week to tour the Canadian Rockies. We will share some of those experiences with you in my column next week. We wish to thank the officers and crew of Holland America Lines Zuiderdam for making our cruise so enjoyable and without fault. Thank you all for your smiles, wonderful food, entertainment and great service.

An apple is still a favorite treat to include in lunch boxes. Sandwiches are a staple of school lunch boxes and have been for years. More variety in meats means more choices. Pears are not the most common lunch box or after-school snack, but worth using.

Fuel for school School day mornings are typically busy mornings. Getting the kids out of bed is one thing, but managing to whip up breakfast, pack lunches and get everyone out the door on time requires planning and preparation. As the morning rushes by, there’s little time to pack a unique lunch or make snacks for everyone, including mom. In fact, according to a national survey commissioned by DOLE® and conducted by Wakefield Research, 73 percent of moms say they have eaten their child’s snack in a pinch. To help save time and energy each day, check out these simple lunch-packing tips to revamp your morning routine and help create a smooth and stress-free school year. Camouflage healthy snacks. While you may want to pack everyone a healthy snack, the kids aren’t always excited to find an apple in their lunchbox. Try a wholesome snack they won’t want to trade. DOLE Real Fruit Bites are made from real dried fruit, coated with yogurt and sprinkled with toasted whole grain oats. A single-serving pouch has 80 to 90 calories, no trans fat and are a good source of vitamin C. You can also find sneaky snack recipes online for treats baked up with healthy ingredients, like snack bars made with nuts and seeds, or brownies with pureed veggies in the mix. The kids will never know it’s good for them. Leverage last night’s leftovers. Don’t stick to the same old sandwich, juice box and snack regimen. Try adding instant rice to leftover chicken, transforming leftover steak into a hearty chili, or boiling some pasta to add to leftover hamburger meat. These simple tricks to repurposing yesterday’s meal will save the family time and money this school year. Share a smile. Lunch doesn’t have to be elaborate

every day. But there are plenty of fun, creative ways to make a simple lunch exciting, especially for the kids. For instance, cut sandwiches into different shapes with cookie cutters (you can find animal shapes and even puzzle-shaped cookie cutters online). Make the kids smile with a simple note or googly eyes on their sandwich wrapper. Try putting contact paper inside the lid for games or dry-erase notes that the kids can leave for you, too. Keep it cool. There are plenty of ways to preserve your lunch so it’s still tasty in the afternoon. Think outside the thermos and try freezing a yogurt cup or a juice box to keep lunches cold throughout the day. Snack attack. With an on-the-go lifestyle, it’s important to keep snacks on hand should hunger strike. In fact, according to the DOLE survey, 77 percent of women say they can’t get through a normal day without a snack.

RIM HISTORY RIM HISTORY RIM COUNTRY HISTORY | TIM EHRHARDT

Zane Grey movie shot in Payson area In 1918, western author Zane Grey visited the Payson area for the first time. Soon he wrote a number of books about the area. Meanwhile, silent movies were going strong in Hollywood and it was only natural that some of Grey’s books would be turned into movies. With those initial movies, Grey insistTIM EHRHARDT ed that they be shot on location where the stories had taken place. So during the early to mid 1920s, the small town of Payson, population 150, had a few extra visitors. Let’s take a look specifically at “To the Last Man” filming. “To the Last Man” is Grey’s book about the Pleasant Valley War. It was one of the first ones that he wrote that took place in the region, and it seems to have been part of his reason for coming to the area in the first place. He had heard stories about the feud during his numerous trips to the Flagstaff area and wanted to learn more about it firsthand. “To the Last Man” is a fictionalized account of the war that was first published as a serial in “The Country Gentleman” during May, June and July of 1921. In 1923, filming began on this film, directed by Victor Fleming and with Richard Dix, Lois Wilson and Noah Beery amongst the stars. Fleming would go on to win an Oscar for best director for “Gone

With the Wind” in 1939. Dix and Wilson were fairly established by that time and Beery was known to be a good character actor — these were no lightweights who came to the area. Remember, Payson was quite small and while Hollywood productions of that era were nowhere near as large as they are today, a substantial number of people came into the area for the project. An article in the May 1, 1923 Arizona Republican tells more about it. “Payson will be converted into a movie land for the next few weeks it may be assumed from the amount of travel in that direction over the past week-end. A party of more than a score of Famous Lasky Players from Los Angeles passed through Mesa Monday morning on the Union Auto Stage line for Payson. Truck loads of supplies, and one with horses, went up Saturday. The Lasky Players will film a picture based on one of Zane Grey’s recent novels which has its setting in the Payson country. “Mr. Grey is now in the Payson country it is understood and will entertain within the next week or two at a big barbecue, bringing together the movie folks and the cowmen and their families of that section.” Imagine the buzz that was created. One of the things created for the movie was a faux frontier town south of Payson, possibly in the vicinity of Oxbow Hill. The excitement was short lived though, as filming was completed in a little bit over a month. On their way back to Hollywood, the filming

party stopped in Phoenix as this clip from the June 9, 1923 Arizona Republican shows. “Fifty motion picture actors and actresses, members of the Famous-Players-Lasky corporation, arrived in Phoenix last night, enroute to Hollywood California, after an extended sojourn in the Payson district, where the company filmed the majority of scenes for picturization of the Zane Grey novel ‘To the Last Man.’ “The company passed through Phoenix about six weeks ago on their way to the country surrounding Payson, the locale of the principal scenes in the novelist’s story. A majority of the ‘outside scenes’ were taken close to Payson, including Mogollon Rim and Pleasant Valley. The company will remain in Phoenix until tonight, when they will leave for Hollywood to finish the picture. The remainder of the production, the interior scenes, will be filmed at the Hollywood studios, according to the director.” The film was released in September of that year and once again created buzz in the area. It had a “sister” movie, “Call of the Canyon” that was released early in 1924. That too created excitement in Payson as this February 15, 1924 Arizona Silver Belt article illustrates. “Mr. and Mrs. Charles J. Alden have just returned from Payson where they went for the purpose of showing Zane Grey’s new picture, ‘Call of the Canyon’ to the people of Payson. The entertainment was given at the Grady Harrison garage which had been

converted into a theater for the evening and was attended by perhaps 300 persons. The picture was of especial interest in the Payson district because the cast of characters was the same as “To The Last Man,” produced in the Payson country. ‘Call of the Canyon’ deals with scenes in the Grand Canyon district.” Sadly, it appears that this movie version of “To the Last Man” has been lost to the ages. Like so many silent films of the era, a copy is not known to exist. Supposedly some footage was recycled into the 1933 version of “To the Last Man,” but that appears to be all that’s left of it. There is a Web site that deals with historical moviemaking in Arizona, though it focuses more on the Sedona area. The site, http://arizonaslittlehollywood.blogspot.com has lots of details. Also, there was a book by Ed Hulse called “Filming the West of Zane Grey” that is the definitive book on movies made from Zane Grey’s writings. HISTORY AND BISCUITS

Don’t forget about this event with some fine history presentations on July 28 at 4 p.m. at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints building located at 913 S. Ponderosa St. I’m really looking forward to hearing Errol and Ella Lee Owens talk about sawmills and the lumber industry here, as well as the presentation on Pine, Ariz. history. Those are a couple presentations that you don’t always hear. It should be fun and very worthwhile to attend.

Give summer-stressed plants some help BY MELINDA MYERS GARDENING EXPERT, TV/RADIO HOST, AUTHOR AND COLUMNIST

Don’t let summer stressors ruin your landscape’s good looks. Instead give your plants’ natural defenses a boost and keep both vegetable gardens producing and flowers blooming. Busy summer schedules can lead to plant neglect and less-than-picture-perfect gardens. When you team this with summer heat and drought that can lead to wilting, brown leaves, and poor growth, and add insects and diseases that can further weaken and damage plants, gardens can really suffer. An exciting new organic tool for gardeners is now available to help. Plant strengtheners, like JAZ sprays, help boost plants’ natural defenses so they are better able to deal with environmental stress, neglect, as well as insects and disease attacks. Scientists found that when plants experienced stress from drought, temperature extremes, insects or diseases they produced certain molecules that activated their natural defenses. They isolated these molecules, applied them to other plants, and found that the treated plants were better able to tolerate stress. Plant strengtheners contain such molecules that increase natural defenses in plants. One such family of molecules is the jasmonates, originally identified in the jasmine plant, which increase hundreds of natural defense molecules in treated plants. Some of the natural defenses make the plants more resistant to pathogens and others help reduce damage from drought, heat and salt. While proper care can help increase a plant’s natural defenses, plant strengtheners give them an extra boost to help plants thrive even during periods of environmental stress. These organic products act like vitamins or immunizations, helping plants deal with extreme and often unpredictable weather, pest, and disease challenges. You can even keep healthy plants performing their best by proactively using a plant strengthener. By doing

so, you’ll boost a plant’s immune system before environmental stresses hit and ultimately help it thrive as it faces serious challenges throughout the remainder of the season. It’s a great way to protect plants before they become threatened. Make sure to give your plants proper care throughout their lifetime. Water thoroughly and as needed. Then mulch the soil surrounding your plants with shredded leaves, evergreen needles, or other organic materials. These conserve moisture, keep roots cool and moist, suppress weeds, and improve the soil as they break down. And, if your plants experience the same problems each year, it is time to make a change. Move stressed plants to more suitable growing conditions. Match the plant to the light, soil, and moisture it prefers. Replace diseased plants with resistant varieties and provide proper care. By taking these steps and investing a bit of time and energy you’ll be sure to create a beautiful, healthy and productive landscape. ABOUT THE AUTHOR

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A strong social whirl brings a new round of good times to funloving Rams and Ewes. Cupid also is busy aiming arrows at single Lambs hoping for a heart-to-heart encounter. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A romantic incident could take a more serious turn if the Divine Bovine considers meeting Cupid’s challenge. Meanwhile, a professional opportunity is also about to turn up. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A bit of hardheaded realism could be just what the Twins need at this emotionally challenged time. Face the facts as they are, not as you want them to be. Good luck. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Many opportunities open up. But you need to be aware of their actual pros and cons. Check them all out and make your choice from those that offer more of what you seek. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) A more stable situation begins, allowing you to feel more secure about making important decisions. Meanwhile, be sure to meet your project deadline so you can move on to other things. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Congratulations. A new personal relationship thrives as you learn how to make room in your busy life for this wonderfully warm and exciting emotional experience. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) A new contact opens some doors. That’s the good news. But there’s a caution involved: Be sure you protect your rights to your work before showing it to anyone. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) A former colleague might seek to resume a working partnership. Ask yourself if you need it. If yes, get more information. If no, respectfully decline the request. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Good times dominate your aspect. So why not have a party to celebrate a loved one’s success? And do invite that special person you want to know better. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) The shy side of the Sea Goat soon gives way to your more assertive self. This should help you when it comes time to speak up for yourself and your achievements. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) A new period of stability will help you deal with some recently reworked plans. Once you get your current task done, you can devote more time to personal matters. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Things are finally much more stable these days, so you can restart the process of meeting your well-planned goals with fewer chances of interruption or delay. BORN THIS WEEK You love being the brightest light wherever you are, and people love basking in your warmth and charm. © 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

Viruses not the only cause of hepatitis BY PAUL G. DONOHUE, M.D. NORTH AMERICA SYND., INC.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: For the past year, my wife has had to deal with autoimmune hepatitis. It’s something that hardly anyone knows about or understands, and that makes it even more difficult to cope with. Everyone thinks she has an infection. I can only haltingly explain what she has. Will you tell your readers about this illness? — D.R. ANSWER: Say “hepatitis,” and people automatically think of a viral infection. Say “cirrhosis,” which is sometimes the last stage of hepatitis, and people think of alcohol as the cause. Not all hepatitis is virus-caused, and not all cirrhosis is alcohol-caused. Your wife’s illness is an example. Her liver is inflamed (hepatitis), not from an infection but from an attack on her liver by her immune system. The reason why a person’s immune system, a system designed to keep us healthy, turns on the liver is obscure. Signs that the immune system is the cause are demonstrable by finding antibodies in the blood. Antibodies are the ammunition the immune system makes to fend off dangerous invaders. One special antibody, the anti-nuclear antibody, is a big indication that the liver has come under an immune attack. The course of autoimmune hepatitis is unpredictable. It might be mild with few symptoms, or it may take a more aggressive course in which the skin and eye whites turn yellow, where fatigue is immobilizing, where abdominal pain is common and where the skin develops an itch. Quite often, a liver biopsy is the procedure that provides evidence of autoimmune hepatitis. Prednisone, one of the cortisone drugs, often is the treatment of choice. It reins in an out-of-control immune system. Another immune-modifying drug, azathioprine, can be added to the regimen. It sounds like your wife is responding well to treatment (from parts of your letter that I had to delete). The booklet on hepatitis details the various forms of the illness, and how they are acquired and treated.

DONOHUE: What is the procedure for removing a tick attached to your skin? Can you remove it yourself, or should it be removed only by a physician? — T.R. ANSWER: It’s safe for people to remove ticks on their own. You need tweezers with fine grooves on their lower, inner surfaces. Grasp the tick as close to the skin as you can and as close to the tick’s head. Gently but firmly pull the tick straight out, at a right angle to the skin. Don’t crush it. Don’t bother with popular techniques such as coating the tick with petroleum jelly or applying a just-blown-out match to it. Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.
