AROUND RIM COUNTRY Quilt raffle tickets offered The Northern Gila County Genealogy Society members will be selling raffle tickets from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., Friday, Aug. 22 in front of Safeway for a Thomas Kinkade design quilt made by Sue Owen. It will be on display for inspection during the ticket sales. The material used in the quilt is patterned after a painting made by Thomas Kinkade (1958–2012). Kinkade was an American painter of popular realistic, bucolic, and idyllic subjects. He is noted for the mass marketing of his work as printed reproductions and other licensed products via The Thomas Kinkade Company. He characterized himself as “Thomas Kinkade, Painter of Light,” a phrase he protected through trademark. It is estimated that one in every 20 American homes owns a copy of one of his paintings. The cost for tickets is $1 each or six for $5. The raffle is part of the Northern Gila County Genealogy Society’s annual fund-raising event and ticket purchases are income tax deductible. The drawing will be held at 2 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 13 at the NGCGS Library, 302 E. Bonita in Payson during the group’s annual yard sale. You do not need to be present to win. Youth activist turning focus to politics Molly Barker, founder of Girls on the Run, a physical activity based positive youth development program for girls in 3rd-8th grade, is changing her focus to political activism. She will be in Payson for a program from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., Friday, Aug. 22 at Gila Community College. She has started a initiative, the Red Boot Coalition, to gather positive-focused people and give voice to what is rich missing from the political arena: leadership that is heart-driven, collaborative, loving, humble, connected, compassionate and courageous. Rim residents and visitors are invited to have a dialogue with Barker. Food and beverages will be offered as a donation only. For details, call (928) 474-3472 or email holly-

TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS

TRAVEL FOR SHOPPING, ENTERTAINMENT I have several friends who travel to mostly big cities for entertainment and shopping. The number one spot for this is New York City. There is also Los Angeles and Las Vegas, but New York City leads the list for such activities. If you are one of these, consider at least a week in Manhattan so as to take in the Broadway shows that interest you and during the day shop in the leading department stores along with the smaller boutique specialty shops you have read about. If you are lucky, there will be sales on many items. KEN BROOKS You can look up what merchandise is on sale during the dates you will be visiting New York on the Internet. Be sure to take an extra suitcase so you can carry your treasure home. Fall is usually a good time for this activity, as the department stores will be featuring garments and other items for fall and winter. Then, identify which discount theatre ticket stores you wish to use to purchase your tickets. Some of the lowest prices are for shows playing the same afternoon or night. Live theatre tickets for the most popular shows are not cheap even when discounted. Take your credit cards! I’ll list some of the more popular productions now on stage: “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder” is priced from $162; “Bullets over Broadway” - a Woody Allen production - sells at $107; Long playing “Chicago” tickets begin at $114; “Cinderella” continues to fill seats as a musical from Rogers and Hammerstein with ticket prices varying. Hot tickets for “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” begin at $153; the ever-popular “Jersey Boys” continues with tickets set at $96; “Kinky Boots – The Musical” by Cyndi Lauper is still playing with tickets being sold at $114. Tickets for “Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill” now go for $132; “Les Miserables” continues to entertain with tickets selling for $132 if you are lucky; “Mama Mia” is still running with tickets selling now at $114.

I can still remember when we thought a ticket for a major Broadway theatre production selling at $25 was through the roof. New York is perhaps the world’s top shopping spot. Be sure to select a hotel that is situated not too far from the shopping and theatre district. A good travel agent can answer these questions based upon your budget and taste. Personally, I often use the New York Hilton, but there are many other properties that are located where you should be staying. Top shopping can be found on Fifth Avenue, Madison Avenue as well as the Soho and Times Square area. At Times Square the ABC television network produces “Good Morning America” airing locally from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. on weekdays. If you want to be seen on network television you might try to edge your way into a camera shot to be seen by your friends back home. Plan at least two days for greater New York City sightseeing. Some tours are geton-get off plans where when your bus stops at a scheduled location and, if it looks interesting, get off, walk around and then board the next bus that comes along perhaps a half hour later and get back on to continue your tour. We have done this in several cities in the last couple of years and it works well for us. And don’t miss the around Manhattan Island cruise boat tour. It will give you a detailed look at the island and its content. There are some amazing new attractions that are opening, like the 9/11 Memorial Museum; the Whitney Museum, which is relocating from the East Side down to the High Line in Chelsea. It is in a Renzo Piano-designed building that is going to be the new anchor for the High Line. Ellis Island is reopening this year. For the first time, they’re offering tours of the south side of the Island, which are the hospitals that were used for quarantines. One World Observatory is slated to open next spring and there are all of the amazing developments that are coming to the World Trade Center. Next year the New York Wheel and the Empire Outlets open. The Wheel is similar to London’s. It is a huge Ferris wheel that goes around giving the rider seated in a gondola a fantastic

view of New York. There will be thousands of tourists with similar interests as you. Be prepared for crowds in all the popular spots and try and relax. Frequently stop and get a sip of something. If a major production is on stage at Radio City Music Hall, see it! You won’t be sorry. This theatre holds some 5,000 seated in Art Deco surroundings. There are two large Wurlitzer Theatre Pipe Organs, an orchestra pit and very large stage. In the earlier years it offered hit movies followed by a 45-minute stage production usually with a theme i.e. “Spring Time” or “Christmas” etc. There would be a 45-piece live orchestra in the pit to accompany the singers and dancers. The sets were lavish. Also, there was a 30-member modern tapdance team called the “Rocketts”. Those were the days! All this for the price of a first run movie ticket. There is very good shopping also in the greater Los Angeles area, which has interesting department stores as well as novelty shops and boutiques. L.A. offers an eclectic mix of shopping possibilities. You need to visit Robertson Blvd., upscale Rodeo Drive, quirky Melrose Ave, or delve deeper and

unearth bargains in the Fashion District or Farmers Market. Beverly Hills developed as a shopping district in the 1970s, Celebrities stalk the sidewalks, big name bags in hand. More than 60 elite clothing and jewelry stores line this main affluent shopping artery. And, often there are several live theatre productions running that may have interest for you. There is also one of the world’s finest symphony orchestras along with Los Angeles’ own opera company. During the summer the Hollywood Bowl features some of music’s best-known names accompanied by the symphony. Good shopping can also be found at Florida’s West Palm Beach. Some call it the Rodeo Drive of Florida. You will find such stores of Cartier, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Hermes and Gucci. There are some 80 shops that will be pleased to take your money. Other cities you might visit in the upcoming months could include Chicago, Boston, Minneapolis, with its 520-store “Mall of America”, Toronto and Montreal. So, be entertained and at the same time come home with fresh shopping items. Just don’t break the bank account.

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES

It’s silly, but loads of fun Hollywood has treated little kids and die-hard fans like myself with yet another “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” full-length movie. I could easily dismiss the latest TMNT flick as beneath the notice of either respectable reviewers or discerning moviegoers. I will not pan yet another movie whose ultimate origins derive from a comic book for two reasons. This movie will attract audiences who deserve to be served and the movie, while silly, is loads of fun. Those familiar with the TMNT story know that four mutated turtles find a father figure and martial arts teacher in Splinter, a mutated rat. They live in the sewers of New York City and emerge to battle a criminal organization known as the Foot Clan, also martial artists. They acquire a human friend, a

reporter named April O’Neil who is played by Megan Fox in a role with only a handful of lines, but many, many stunning closeups of her beautiful features. That at least is a fair trade off. The amphibian quartet have the names of Italian painters, Raphael, Michelangelo, Leonardo and Donatello. In this version of the tale it seems that April herself named the lads as tiny turtles years ago. Remember they are teenagers, around 15 or 16 I’d say in terms of human socialization. In one of the best bits the turtles bash a band of foot clansmen in a very active CGI aided fight in a subway station, a long fight against long odds and as they make their escape after speaking to April for the first time CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

girls would bring their good clothes and change at the Belluzzi’s for the dance at the Rim Rock School. Then they stayed all night at the ranch. [1] Frank Gillette told a famous story about Mercedes in his book about “Pleasant Valley” (page 79ff). [2] It seems that Fred Haught, who had staked a homestead claim far up on the headwaters of the river, had gotten a catclaw thorn in his eye while driving his burro train over the Rim. Nothing availed to get the thorn out or heal the wound, but then an old timer advised him “Old lady Belluzzi might know something. She came from Mexico “(and) she knows quite a few Indian remedies. I think if I was you I’d give her a try.” Haught rode to the Belluzzi ranch where Mercedes warmly received him. He was seated in a handcrafted chair with his head back as she studied the swollen eye. John translated instructions to Haught from his wife’s Spanish, and she had him lie down on a cot near the window. She went to the kitchen and poured a glass of fresh milk, rinsing her mouth and then swallowing the milk. She did this three times and then knelt by the cot. Gillette tells what happened next. “Cradling Fred’s head

in her arms she spoke in a sweet, soft and soothing voice… Though her words were in Spanish, Fred sensed they were words of sympathy and encouragement. Gently she stroked his hair. Though the pain pounded through his head Fred relaxed on the cot… Then in a flash she moved her face, lashed out her tongue and licked it solidly across the swollen eye. The pain was so intense that Fred shrieked and sat upright, moaning slightly and holding his eye with both hands. Grandma Belluzzi walked quickly across the room to a mirror and stuck out her tongue. With a forefinger she carefully removed the thorn and took it to show proudly to her husband…” The thorn was gone from Fred’s eye and Mercedes covered the sore eye with a poultice of herbal tea and leaves. He fell asleep and when he awoke the next day the pain was gone. The Belluzzi bloodline spread throughout the Rim Country in the years that followed. Angela married Richard Teal Taylor in 1906; Rose married Henry Frederick Hardt in 1910; Bert married Charlotte “Lottie” Hardt in 1908; Jo married Sterling “Vern” Gillette in 1910; Allen married Ruby Opal Beck in 1934 (they were later divorced); Sue married Lewis Bowman in 1916; Marie married

Walter Lazear in 1916. John and Mercedes retired to Payson after the children were grown and married. Marie’s husband Walter Lazear farmed the ranch and in January 1918 it was sold to the Cold Springs Cattle Company. After changing hands over the years it was purchased and subdivided in the 1950s and 1960s by Payson realtor Bill Miller. Speaking of his mother’s parents, Frank Gillette wrote of Bartolomeo and Mercedes Belluzzi, “They were very basic and fundamental: integrity, character, honesty, and moral values. Grandma and also Grandpa Belluzzi must have been almost radical on those things and they certainly pounded it into their kids, as was so plainly evident in all of them.” [3] John died June 5, 1925, and Mercedes died Oct. 7, 1930 (some records say 1929). They are both buried in the Payson Pioneer Cemetery. [1] The Rim Rock School, built primarily for the Belluzzi children, was located at the junction of Dude Creek downstream from the Rim Trail Ranch. Other families using that school were the Kyles, Vogels, Goswicks, Beards, and McCrackins. [2] He heard the story from his mother Jo Belluzzi who had married Sterling “Vern” Gillette. [3] Frank Gillette letter dated Nov. 7, 1988. Sources: U. S. Census; Kay Hardt, correspondence with author and a published article “Descendants of Rose Lee Belluzzi”; reminiscences of John Henry Thompson, John W. Wentworth, Ranger Beard, Ire Murphy, Frank Gillette; Ancestry.com”

AT THE MOVIES

Turtle movie marks 30th anniversary of franchise FROM PAGE 4

Michelangelo gleefully tells his brothers “I totally talked to a girl.” I have a soft spot for stupid but endearing teenage boy stuff. Director Jonathan Liebesman gives us a lot of very fast paced, but totally unbelievable action. We can’t afford to think too long about the goings on on screen, just eat our popcorn and watch the 9-year-old boys around us

enjoy themselves. Liebesman also directed the 2012 “Wrath of the Titans” and the 2011 “Battle: Los Angeles”. Neither of these films were notable. TMNT will far out draw any of his previous films. Worldwide TMNT has already grossed $94 million on a budget of $125 million, which is why films like this are made in the first place. Megan Fox is joined in the cast

by Will Arnett, William Fichtner and Whoopi Goldberg in slightly written roles that could have been filled by any competent actor on the planet. Tony Shalhob and Johnny Knoxville have more difficult and fulfilling tasks as voice talent speaking for the rat Splinter and the hard-shelled hero Leonardo. “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” has been awarded a PG-

13 rating for violence of the cartoon kind. No naked people come on screen and the harshest word is “Cowabunga”. This two and a half saw blade film lasts only one hour and 41 minutes. This version of TMNT comes in time to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the beginning of the story. Michael Bay, the genius behind many hugely successful summer hits produced.

COVER STORY | TERESA MCQUERREY

Roundup file photos

Plenty of fun awaits Rim residents and visitors as we move into fall. Pine and Strawberry will be packed in midSeptember for the annual Fire on the Rim Mountain Bike Race (at left) while Rim residents of all ages show their wares and skills at the Northern Gila County Fair the first weekend of September (above).

Looking ahead at Rim fall fun Summer, with all its hustle and bustle, is winding down now that the rodeo has left town. It’s time to get out that calendar and start penciling in all the fun and festivities coming our way this fall… Well, actually a lot is happening in Rim Country before fall officially arrives with the Sept. 23 Autumnal Equinox. LABOR DAY

Let’s start with all the Labor Day events taking place the last weekend of August – the unofficial “end” of summer. The Pine Strawberry Arts & Crafts Guild Labor Day festival will be open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 30 and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. the following day. All money earned from the arts and crafts show directly benefits the community. The guild has been sponsoring the holiday festivals since 1980. Also during the Labor Day festivities don’t forget to stop by and enjoy the $5 pancake breakfast that includes sausage, orange juice and coffee. The scrumptious breakfast will be served 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. both fair days. The breakfasts, which drew raves at the Memorial Day and July 4 festivals, are the major fundraiser for the Mountain

Village Foundation. The Library Friends will also join in on the festivities by hosting a book sale 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug 29, 30 and 31 in the library activity room located behind the community center. For the sale, plastic bags will be $2 each and customers may fill them with as many books as they will hold. This year, the Library Friends are also sponsoring a raffle for a wine basket. The drawing will be held 2 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 31. NORTHERN GILA COUNTY FAIR

Next is the Northern Gila County Fair. It is the first weekend in September at the Payson Event Center. Look for more in future editions. But for now, here are some highlights. The 60th Annual Northern Gila County Fair takes place Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 5-7 at the Payson Event Center. Residents from around the Rim Country, young and old alike, will be entering their produce, flowers, photographs, art, crafts, quilting, canning, large and small livestock and so much more to compete for bragging rights and a few dollars in prize money. As part of the fair for the last

several years, the Town of Payson has hosted a Demolition Derby at the Event Center. The tentative schedule for the 2014 event is as follows: date: Sept. 6; time: gates open at 5 p.m., derby starts at 7 p.m. Admission is: $12 for adults, $6 for kids ages 3-11, 2 and under can attend for free The 7th Annual Payson Demolition Derby is sponsored by Payson Parks & Recreation and Honeycutt Rodeo. For further information contact Nelson Beck at (928) 4745242, ext. 306 FALL SPORTS

The first week of September is when Payson Longhorn football has its first home game (the season starts Aug. 29 in Wickenburg). Payson hosts Page at 7 p.m., Friday, Sept. 5.

The essence of fall is curling up under a comfy quilt with a good book and a hot beverage – of course temperatures for that sort of thing probably won’t be common until sometime in November. But quilts will take center stage at the 10th Annual Rim Country Quilt Roundup Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 10, 11 and 12 at the Mazatzal Hotel & Casino event center. This quilting extravaganza features top flight classes from internationally and nationally know quilters such as Sharon Schamber and Anelle Belden. There are free demonstrations and vendors to visit too. At the core of the event is a breathtaking exhibition of quilts, wearable art and more. Details about the classes and their costs can be found at www.quiltroundup.com. The classes have limited enrollment and fill fast, so early registration is strongly recommended by organizers. General admission is $5 per person for those 13 and older. The show is from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Friday, Oct. 10 and Saturday, Oct. 11 and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 12. PAL ARTOBERFEST

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Be careful not to allow the backers of a new financial “deal” to pull the wool over the Lamb’s eyes. It could hold fewer plusses and more negatives than you were first led to believe. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It’s a good idea to finish all incomplete tasks so that you can devote your attention to next week’s projects. The weekend could hold surprises for romantic Fernandas and Ferdinands. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A workplace suggestion you made a while ago that you might have forgotten could come back with a request to turn it from idea to reality. Your social life picks up considerably this weekend. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Someone from the past could return with an intriguing opportunity for a future project. Check into it, by all means. But don’t neglect your current responsibilities in the meantime. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Keeping your claws sheathed and using good humor instead to counter someone who’s bad-mouthing the Big Cat isn’t easy. But it’s the best way to avoid more problems down the line. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) A workplace situation could improve if you’re less critical and more supportive of those who are, after all, trying to do their best. Let them know you’re there to help when necessary. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) A new job offer might not carry all the benefits you’re seeking. Make sure you know what you’re entitled to, what is off the table and what is negotiable before you make a decision. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) A social obligation you would rather get out of could hold some surprisingly positive aspects. Why not go and see for yourself? A family member makes a curious request. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Before tackling that new project awaiting you at home or on the job, take time out for some much-deserved pampering to help lift your spirits and restore your energy levels. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Your social calendar begins to fill up more quickly than you expected. And that’s great. You deserve to enjoy some good fun after so much time spent on serious matters. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) A domestic situation continues to improve, thanks to all the tender, loving concern you’ve shown. A colleague makes a questionable move that you might want to check out sooner rather than later. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) A sudden turn in a romantic relationship calls for both a rational and passionate response. Keep the love level high, but also find out why the problem arose in the first place. BORN THIS WEEK: You often set high standards for others. But to your credit, you set the same expectations for yourself. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.
