An oh-so tasty tradition awaits in the mountains

Good go

BY JOY HAFFORD

SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

The Senior Citizens Affairs Foundation (SCAF) operates the P/S Community Center Thrift Store and Senior Dining Room providing valuable services for area seniors and the entire P/S community. Proceeds from the store and the annual fund-raisers and charitable events fund daily senior lunches, social activities, Meals on Wheels and other vital programs. One SCAF activity that has become a tradition and a great fund-raiser is the Navajo Taco Sale held during annual summer Arts and Crafts Guild festivals. The oh-so tasty treats are real bargains too — for just $6 you get a beef taco piled high with everything you like, $5 buys a bean and cheese taco with all the trimmings or a dessert peach taco a la mode with caramel and it is just $3 for one drizzled with powdered sugar and honey. SCAF’s signature Navajo tacos are highly-anticipated in the community and by festivalgoers — some making the trek to Pine annually just to consume one (well, at least they say it’s just one). What is it about these tacos that make them so special? Madison Feyrer-Melk, 16, of Fountain Hills, nailed it saying, “I love how it is crunchy on the bottom and soft on top. It’s delicious.” But are they good for you? “These tacos can stimulate a lagging appetite,” says Pine resident, Richard Hafford, who discovered them at a festival years before eventually retiring to the area. He recently battled pneumonia and was unable to eat for four months due to food penetrating his airway. Once healed, he couldn’t find his appetite, until a taco ignited it. “I think my appetite has finally kicked in,” said Richard, devouring an entire taco that covered an 8-inch plate and was 2 inches high. “It’s just what the doctor ordered,” he added. On July 6, I visited the SCAF Senior Dining Room and spoke with Terry Burkhart, kitchen manager, to see just how the volunteers prepare the tacos. It all begins with a fresh flour tortilla direct from CC Foods Tortilla Factory in the Valley. On the day of the event, at 7 a.m.

BAKE SALE FOR MISSIONS

A bake sale will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, Aug. 30 at Safeway on East Highway 260. Proceeds will go toward World Mission projects for the Payson Nazarene Church. Donations will also be accepted. For more information, contact Kathleen Phillips at the church, (928) 474-5890. QUILT SHOW IN HEBER

The 18th Annual Pine Needlers Quilt Show will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 31 at Capps Middle School, 3375 Buckskin Canyon Road in Heber. The show will include handmade quilts, antique quilts and a boutique and bake sale. If you should have any questions, please call (480) 251-0076. BEAVER VALLEY DAY

Saturday, Aug. 31 is Beaver Valley Day. Rim Country residents are invited to attend a pancake breakfast at the fire station ramada starting at 8 a.m. This event helps support the Beaver Valley Fire Department. A firewise education program, open to the public, is planned for 9 a.m. at the fire station. Guest speakers are William Brewer and Carrie Dennett of the Arizona State Forestry Division, Phoenix. They will offer tips about how rural communities can reduce risks from wildfires. Free educational materials will be available. Beaver Valley is located 6.2 miles northeast of Highway 87 on the Houston Mesa Road. Turn east and continue on Houston Mesa Road, past several communities; turn left at the Beaver Valley Estates sign and continue on Beaver Flat Road to the meadow and the Beaver Valley Fire Station. For more information, call (928) 468-9269.

PARANOIA

Gone and should be forgotten BY ANDY MCKINNEY RIM REVIEW

“Paranoia” opened recently at unlucky number 13. It achieved the 42 worst opening weekend in filmdom, another unlucky mark. Someone must have told the public about the film. Even good characters played by good actors cannot save a movie if the conclusion is not believable, save in a farce like “The Expendables II” or others of that ilk. This is meant to be a serious thriller, but it flops in the home stretch after running a credible race for the first few furlongs. Director Robert Laketic has bossed the cute and clever “Legally Blonde,” the entertaining “The Ugly Truth” and the mesmerizing “21.” He does a workman like job with “Paranoia.” It isn’t his fault that the movie is headed for the bomb squad. Nor are the actors to blame. We have heavy weights Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman playing dueling baddies with intensity and skill. They play genius high-tech titans who are bitter rivals. Theirs is the story, two ruthless giants who are each playing a deep, duplicitous game to finish the other. The lead player is a relative newcomer to the major movie world. Liam Hemsworth was most notably featured, briefly, as the buff buddy of the heroine in “The Hunger Games.” It was a small role but Hemsworth carried off his part in a satisfactory manner. He does the same here in the leading

role. It isn’t his fault. And it certainly isn’t the fault of Amber Heard. Heard is new to me even though she has over a dozen big screen roles on her resumé. She is also a model sometimes and the camera loves her. She is the focus of every scene she has. It isn’t her fault. But the writers failed us. They gave the actors perfectly good characters to bring to life, which the actors did for us. But they only gave us three-quarters of a rollicking good story. The young Hemsworth is a 20-something computer programmer working for Oldman. He is bullied and blackmailed into becoming a spy in the rival corporation run by Harrison Ford. Ford and Oldman are very smart guys with a taste for complicated intrigue. The kid is swept up in events well beyond his control or even his understanding. Along the way he meets and falls for the Amber Heard character, which is absolutely believable. Anyone would fall for her. But the film falls apart in the finale when the naive youngster out manipulates both of the titans of software. We just do not believe the kid can pull it off, because writers Jason Dean Hall and Barry Levy (“Vantage Point”) do not build anything into the plot that would lead us to believe he can do it. He goes from scared and stupefied to mastermind in a blink. We don’t think it is possible, thus the film fails. This is a two saw blade film to avoid. It is a PG-13, one hour and 55 wasted minutes.

RIM COUNTRY PLACES CHAPTER 25: THE NATURAL BRIDGE OF ARIZONA PART ONE – DISCOVERY AND SETTLEMENT

Some of the Rim Country’s most spectacular natural wonders lie just off its highways, hidden from all except those who take the time to explore. One such offering is the Tonto Natural Bridge, thought to be the largest travertine bridge in the world. It spans historic Pine Creek, about 10 miles north of Payson and three miles west of State Route 87. The history of the discovery and settleSTAN BROWN ment of the Natural Bridge is a dramatic chapter in local lore. For hundreds of years the spot had been used by Tonto Apaches as a seasonal camp, from which hunting and gathering could be accomplished. Tribal historian Vince Randall says that one of the Tonto clans originated there, and called the place (in Apache) “Where the Stone Stretches Over,” On July 13, 1866 a detachment of the Arizona Volunteers, Company E left Camp Verde and penetrated the Rim Country in one of the early attempts to displace the Apaches from their stronghold. The company of soldiers, recruited to protect the growing white settlements, was commanded by Lt. Manuel Gallegos and led by civilian scout Pauline Weaver. On July 17 they were proceeding down a canyon when, according to Gallegos’ report, they were confronted by a natural bridge across the river. Living on and around it was a family of Tonto Apaches, and the presence of the troops quickly sent them scurrying. One Apache was killed and one other, an old man, was captured and taken back to Camp Verde where he was later shot attempting to escape. Thomas Farish, in his ofﬁcial “History of Arizona” (1915) wrote, “These Arizona Volunteers, besides killing a great number of Apaches, carried the war into the heart of the Apache country. They explored the Tonto Basin country ... going as far as the Natural Bridge in the northern part of Gila County.” (Vol. IV, pg 116) Since only the military dared enter Apacheria in those early years, it is understandable that the “discovery” of the bridge was made by the Army. By the mid-1870s the Army had almost subdued the Apaches, who were largely conﬁned to reservations. The next group of outsiders who began to explore the canyons and mountains of the Rim Country were adventurers seeking gold. In 1877, David Douglas Gowan, a prospector who hailed from Scotland, located the bridge during an escape from pursuing Apaches. He hid for several days and nights in one of several caves

that are carved into the mountain inside the vast canopy. After the danger passed, he left the cave, and the bridge was not attended until the summer of July 1880, when Irving M. House, L.W. Snow and William Nelson “rediscovered” it while prospecting. The following spring two other settlers, Joe Lawler and a fellow named Smith cleared a small plot of ground near the bridge and planted some corn and a garden. However, the site did not suit them and they abandoned it after harvesting their crop. The next year, 1882, Gowan claimed the bridge and its surrounding 160 acres for himself. He built a cabin of timber and mud and began to plant fruit trees in the 18 acres of well-irrigated soil adjacent to the bridge. Years later, in 1930, one of his apricot trees had grown to measure three feet in diameter, with a spread of 100 feet. In that year it produced 100 bushels of fruit. While farming his claim, Gowan’s prospecting also netted him several mine claims in the surrounding hills and most

of his time was spent working the mines. During his trips to Payson for supplies he met other prospectors and a growing number of cattle ranchers, to whom he described the awesome natural bridge. Word began to spillover the mountains into the rest of the Arizona Territory, bringing curious visitors. A traveler named D.D. Lake came to see Gowan at the bridge and later wrote a ﬂowering description which he sent to his daughter in Colorado. She had it published in the Golden, Colo. newspaper, and from there it was picked up and circulated around the world in other journals. In those days any description of wonders from America’s amazing West was eagerly devoured. It was in this manner that the piece about Arizona’s Natural Bridge appeared in a British newspaper, complete with the name of the displaced Scotsman, David Gowan. Gowan’s nephew and Godson, David Goodfellow, read the article at his home in Newcastle, England. Goodfellow had been born and raised in Scotland, but had moved to Newcastle where his pro-

fession, the tailoring business, fared better. He wrote to his relative, simply addressing the envelope to David Gowan, Flagstaff, Arizona Territory. It reached the then-famous prospector in spite of the inadequate address, and the timing couldn’t have been better. David Gowan had desired to cut loose from the necessary improvements on his property and be free to develop other places in this vast, enticing Rim Country. The Goodfellows received Davey’s reply, which invited them to come to America and take over his claim at the Natural Bridge. It was 1893 (other sources say 1898) when David and Lillias Goodfellow and their three children left their English tailoring business behind and made an arduous journey to Flagstaff. They were met by Gowan, who freighted them and their goods by wagon to the bridge site. They had to lower their possessions and wagons 500 feet into the valley by ropes. Years later, at the Goodfellow’s 50th wedding anniversary, Lillias recalled her emotions as she looked down into that canyon. “I fervently wished that I had never come to Arizona. I honestly believed that I could never reach the cabin alive if I ever started down over the precipice, and I was sure if I ever did get there I would never be able to climb out again.” However, the family found consolation in that the area “looked a bit like the hills of Scotland.” For Gowan’s part, he went on prospecting and died in 1926 of an apparent heart attack. His body was found on Deer Creek, near one of his mining claims, and he was buried in a marked grave three miles from State Route 87 on the Deer Creek Trail. Next, Part Two, The Natural Bridge becomes a tourist attraction.

Festival Finale

P/S Arts and Crafts Guild festivals require that items cannot be manufactured but must be handmade by the artists and crafters, like these beautiful crafted bowls by Guild member Curt Harp.

P/S Arts & Crafts Guild: 33 years of excellence

Rumor has it that in 1980, a small handful of artists and crafters from a local arts and crafts club got a booth at the Gila County Fair to share their love of handmade craftsmanship with others, showcase the work of local artisans and generate funds to help their small community. The excellence in craftsmanship did not go by unnoticed, attracting more talented artists and craftspeople to the group and leading to the organization of the Mountain Arts and Crafts Festivals of Pine. In 1994, the group reorganized and became the P/S Arts and Crafts Guild. Articles of Incorporation were filed and they received their 501c3 non-profit status. By then, the festivals had emerged as a venue for high quality, hand crafted, juried art and craft work, all represented by the artists themselves, and making the P/S area a premier destination for arts and crafts enthusiasts. Festival-goers enjoyed meeting the artists and crafters and experiencing the work in progress in a variety of arts and crafts demonstrations. From the onset, the group remained steadfast in its mission to spread enthusiasm for handmade craftsmanship, showcase the work of local, Arizona and Southwest U.S. talent and raise money to help needy individuals,

Among them are the P/S Food Bank, Firefighters Association, Tonto Rim Search and Rescue, Isabelle Hunt Memorial Library, P/S School, the Senior Citizens Affairs Foundation, Community Educational Recreational and Civic Association and the P/S Archaeological and Historical Society. Thanks to the efforts of the small group of volunteers, currently consisting of approximately 20 to 25 local artists and crafters, the community has benefited in countless ways. Guild President Ruthellen Mason, who is also a highlyacclaimed landscape painter, is the current member in longest standing. She joined the group in 1993 and has been on the nine-member board of directors for nearly

12 years. She is the only present member with the group during the 1994 reorganization. Talented seamstress and longtime Strawberry resident Pat Miller is the chairperson of the Arts and Crafts Guild Boutique located at the P/S Community Center. The Community Center, which also houses the P/S Historical Society Museum, Cultural Hall, Thrift Store, Senior Dining Room and library is the venue for the Guildâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Arts and Crafts Festivals on Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day weekends. The quaint Boutique, housed between the Thrift Store and Senior Dining Room, displays items made by Guild members. A percentage of Boutique sales are donated to the community, in addition to the proceeds donated from their festivals. With the organizing and decorating skills of Pat Miller, the Boutique conveys an inviting atmosphere appealing to customers, and is CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

Final festival of the season FROM PAGE 6

open for business during most town events. From the pool of applicants, some 80 to 85 artists and crafters are selected by a Jury Committee made up of Guild members, to display their work at booths during the Arts and Crafts Guild festivals. Great care is taken to ensure that the mediums — whether painting, photography, jewelry, woodwork or other items — meet the Guild’s standards of quality assurance and are handmade by the artist/crafter. The items may not be manufactured. When an active or potential vendor or festival-goer has a question who they gonna call? Gail Jones! For the past nine years, Gail has served as the Guild’s phone representative providing a consistent and knowledgeable point of contact. Just as the festivals have become part of the tapestry of Pine and Strawberry, some vendors and festival-goers have become an integral part of the festivals, returning show after show, year after year. One popular artist is Shirley Swan who has participated for over 20 years — so many that she can’t actually remember! Shirley’s beautiful work includes woodcarving, walking sticks, canes and carved-leather belts. She also has a following of customers who like adding pieces of her silver jewelry to their collections. Bunny Freegard is a frequent vendor with popular and practical crafts. Her handmade items, including hair ties and eyeglass holders, are well-made and durable. In the heat of the 4th of July festival, her neck tie items to stay cool fly out of the booth like hotcakes at the festival’s pancake breakfast! Patrick Ellis is popular with kids crafting PV bows and arrows, wooden rubber band guns, rifles, marshmallow blow guns and other fun items. Oscar’s Coffee Bar is a“frequent flyer” rivaling the kettle corn and snow cone vendors who festival-goers look forward to at every festival. The Guild also supports non-profit community groups providing festival space at zero or minimal fee to support their work. President Ruthellen Mason said, “Although they may not be quite as popular as Smoky Bear, the firewise trailer is a regular attraction at our festivals. The important information they dispense helps us better protect our homes and forest and it is important to teach visitors who come to our fire-prone place in the pines.” Current Guild officers are Ruthellen Mason, president; Lucy Sisco, vice president; Marla Diepstraten, secretary; and Pat Means, treasurer. Guild membership is open to anyone who makes handmade arts and crafts (emphasizing made by hand) as well as anyone who loves handmade artwork or festivals and would like to participate. The group convenes on the last Friday of every month at 9 a.m in the Craft Boutique at the P/S Community Center. New members and visitors are always welcome. The annual membership fee is minimal; the rewards of membership are countless! For more information you can visit http://pinestrawberryartscrafts.com or come experience a festival this Labor Day weekend, Aug. 31 and Sept. 1. Meet the dedicated artists and crafters in the Boutique and see how a love for handmade artwork has sustained the group for 33 years — and they’re just getting warmed up!

P/S Arts and Crafts Guild member Jessica Dietel (above) is one of the many participants in the annual festivals. Throughout the festivals, demonstrations are enjoyed by visitors, such as the one pictured at left by talented basket weaver and designer, Bob Gleason, a popular artist at the holiday weekend festivals.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) With your Arian charm quotient at an almost all-time high this week, plus all the facts to back you up, you just might win over the last doubters to your proposal. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might be in line for that job change you applied for. But be advised that you could be called on to defend your qualifications against supporters of other applicants. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Creating a new approach to an old idea is one way to get beyond that workplace impasse. No such problems in your personal life, where things continue to flow smoothly. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Be more forthcoming about your feelings concerning a proposed change either in your workplace or in your personal life. Your opinions are valuable. Don’t keep them hidden. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) A changing situation in your life needs more patience than you appear to be willing to offer. Allowing it to develop at its own pace is the wisest course you can take at this time. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) With more stability in your life — on both personal and professional levels — this could be a good time to strengthen relationships with both friends and colleagues. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) People have always relied on your integrity not only to get the job done, but to get it done right. So don’t be pressured by anyone into cutting corners to save time. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) While others might get rattled over unexpected changes, your ability to adapt calmly and competently helps you make a positive impression during a crucial period. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) A changing environment might be daunting for some, but the adventurous Sagittarian takes it all in stride. A friend from the past could awaken some meaningful memories. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) With your self-assurance rising to full strength, the bold Goat should feel confident about opening up to new ventures as well as new relationships. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Reaching out to someone who has been unkind to you might not be easy. But in the long run it will prove to have been the right thing to do. A friend offers moral support. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Your keen insight once again helps you work through a seemingly insoluble problem in your workplace. The weekend offers a good chance to develop new relationships. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a knack for finding details that others would overlook. You would make a fine research scientist. © 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

What’s what with warts & cortisone shots BY PAUL G. DONOHUE, M.D. 2013 NORTH AMERICA SYND., INC.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My 13-year-old son has a wart on his hand. In fact, he has two of them. They don’t bother him, but they bother me. If you neglect them, will they go away on their own? I’m not sure we can handle a doctor’s bill right now. How else can we get rid of them on the cheap? I’d like to find and grab by the neck whoever gave him these warts. — R.R. ANSWER: Don’t bother looking for the person who passed the wart virus to your son. You’ll never find him or her. For one, some infected people show no signs of a wart, yet they can pass the virus to others. For two, the incubation period for a wart is two to six months. Do you think your son remembers who touched him six months ago? The human papillomavirus is the cause of warts. More than 150 different varieties exist. Some warts are dangers to health. The ones that cause cervical cancer are examples, but that’s a topic for another day. The ordinary wart is passed by skin-to-skin contact. Your son ought to make an effort not to touch the wart to other parts of his body. He can transfer the virus in that way. It’s OK to leave the warts alone. They disappear two out of three times, but their disappearance can take as long as two years. For home wart treatment, you’ll find many wart removers on the counters of your local drugstores. DuoPlant, Compound W and Wart-Off are but a few names. Follow bottle directions carefully. Duct tape — the duct tape found in hardware stores — has a mixed record as a wart remover. Apply tape to the warts and leave it in place for six days. You don’t need a huge amount of tape, just enough to cover the wart. On day six, remove the tape and have your son soak his hand in warm water. Then, with an emery board or pumice stone — both drugstore items — lightly rub the warts to remove as much of them as you can. Reserve these devices for wart treatment only. On day seven, reapply the duct tape. Continue the ritual, if need be, for eight weeks. If it hasn’t worked by then, it’s not going to. The booklet on Pap smears discusses the relationship between genital warts and cervical cancer. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue — No. 1102W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow three to four weeks for delivery. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: This year I have had two cortisone shots into both knees for arthritis. It works wonders for me. I can tell it’s wearing off in three to four months. I’m concerned about overdosing on cortisone. How many shots are safe? — B.K. ANSWER: Three to four cortisone shots a year are safe, and two years of such treatments also are safe. The amount of cortisone you’re getting is not enough to upset your blood sugar, raise your blood pressure or increase your susceptibility to infections. Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.
