RIM REVIEW • AUGUST 29, 2012

THIS WEEK’S REVIEW

Good go

Welcome to The Rim Review.

This week’s feature story is about preserving the bounty of Rim Country gardens. The folks who organized the Payson Community Garden presented a program on food preservation last week and will offer it again this week (6:30 p.m., Wednesday, Aug. 29 at the Church of the Nazarene).

Farm & Market Dinner benefit Sept. 22

Some of the information from the program is in the feature story. This week’s recipes also come from the program and offer ideas on what to do with all that zucchini you might have on your hands.

The history column in this edition is the second chapter of Stan Brown’s series about Rim Country places. It features the Apache Trail.

New Orleans jazz concert

The 2012 Farm & Market Dinner to benefit Pine Strawberry Pine Fuel Reduction Inc. is Saturday, Sept. 22 at Fossil Creek Creamery, 10379 W. Fossil Creek Rd., Strawberry.

“This year we will include a farmers market along with the dinner,” said Joyce Bittner, owner of Fossil Creek Creamery.

Guests will enjoy talking directly to the chefs and local producers of meat, dairy and produce Chef Akos Szabo will coordinate his talented team of chefs.

The team includes Chef Michael Dahling, Sysco Food Systems; Chef Mark Hamilton, Rim Golf Club; Chef Ed Farrow, Music Instrument Museum; Chef Gerardo Moceri, Gerardo’s Firewood Café; Chef Gary Bedsworth and Chef Tamie Coe of Tamie Coe Cakes.

Wine pairings from local wineries such as Dos Cabezas Winery will be a special part of the affair.

Chef Akos offered to coordinate the dinner because,“there is a need; there is a community; so lets put the two together.”

The evening’s festivities begin at 4 p.m.

Seating is limited to 100 persons. Tickets are $75 each and a portion is tax deductible.

Call (928) 476-5178 for more information.

Come out to the Community Presbyterian Church, 800 W. Main St., at 2 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 9 for a concert of New Orleans-style jazz and a CD release party with Dr Jass & the Heartbeats.

The group brings a wide variety of musical influences into its contemporary New Orleans street music, rhythm & blues, swing and Dixie sounds.

Dr Jass & the Heartbeats includes Dr. Claudio Zamorano, Mike Buskirk, Dale and Suzanne Knighton and Gerry Reynolds.

A $5 donation is requested to defray costs and includes refreshments. Make a reservation for the afternoon via e-mail to gerry-reynolds@hotmail.com or call (602) 619-3355.

Zamorano plays the cornet and leads the five-member group. He provides his own form of adrenaline, which pumps the hearts of jazz fans as well as the members of the band — they want to go on and on and never stop. This might come from his career as a cardiovascular surgeon, but more than likely it is from his passion for traditional jazz, which was cultivated during his years performing at the Hot Jazz Club in Santiago, Chile.

As a child in Southern California, Buskirk woke up to the sound of ragtime music, which his mother loved to play and it has stayed in his blood. A music educator, Buskirk has made a career of teaching and playing many instruments, as well as singing. He adds marrow to the blood of the group by singing

and playing a number of brass instruments, including the trombone.

The Knightons teamed up for 27 years to sing and play bass, keyboard, guitar, banjo, washboard and various noisemakers for hotel dancing and major events all over the West.

They are the heart of the band.

Forest cleanup helpers needed After a summer beset by emergencies, fire fears, forest closures and bear attacks, the Tonto National Forest hopes to reassemble its faithful band of volunteers that made such headway last spring in cleaning up the forest.

Workers can assemble in the parking area near the swimming hole at the Highway 87 bridge at the entrance to East Verde Estates.

The folks who show up will line the parking area with gabion baskets, remove graffiti from the bridge and scoop up the trash left behind at one of Rim Country’s most popular swimming holes and fishing areas.

Rangers advise people to wear long pants, a long sleeved shirt and closed toe shoes. Bring water and snacks. The Forest Service will provide all necessary tools.

TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS

CHRISTMAS TRAVEL Christmas and New Year’s are a long way off, but if this is a time when you choose to travel, you should start making arrangements now.

Many people want to travel over the holidays because they are not close to their families, others have lost their spouses and some just want to celebrate with a fine cruise or tour and make new friends.

On these cruises and tours it is easy to meet new friends who also want to celebrate the holidays away from home. Cruises are already beginning to fill as are many tours and that is why I thought we should discuss what you might consider for travel at the end of the year.

Most of the lines send their ships to the various popular parts of the globe and I have picked those offered by Holland America Line as an example. Princess, Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, AzaKEN BROOKS mara Club Cruises, Oceania and others will offer similar cruises at the same time of year. You can consult your travel agent for information and brochures to plan holiday travel.

Here is one that I like: a 21-day cruise doing the Western and Southern Caribbean on the Ryndam, departing Dec. 9. It sails from Tampa and makes calls in Central America, Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Santo Tomas de Castilla, Grand Cayman, Aruba, Curacao, St. Lucia, St. Johns, St. Thomas, San Juan and Half Moon Cay and Key West before returning to Tampa.

Fares begin at $2,949 if you book early.

You can sail from Ft. Lauderdale Dec. 27 and be gone during the New Year holiday, which will be celebrated at sea on the Noordam. The 11-day cruise visits St. Maarten, Dominica, Martinique, Barbados, St. Thomas and Half Moon Cay. Fares begin at $1,299 with early booking.

You can spend 14 days on the Statendam, sailing from San Diego Dec. 21 for a Panama Canal cruise stopping at Puerto Vallarta, Huatulco, Puerto Quetzal, Puerto Chipas, Panama City, Cartagena to Ft. Lauderdale. Fares begin at $1,799 if you book early.

Here is one that will fill fast, a Hawaiian cruise departing from San Diego Dec. 8 on the Zaandam calling at Nawiliwili Bay, Honolulu, Lahaina and Hilo before returning to San Diego. You can enjoy nine days at sea sailing to and from Hawaii. This will be a very relaxing cruise filled with the pleasures of the Hawaiian Islands. Fares begin at $1,699 if you book early.

For some, a Mexican Riviera cruise is a choice for holiday travel. A 7-day cruise departing on the Zaandam Dec. 22 visits Loreto, Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta out of San Diego. Fares begin at $799 with early booking.

How about a cruise to Asia sailing on the Volendam Dec. 10? The ports of call include Singapore, Bangkok, Nha Trang, Ho Chi Minh City, Kompong Som, Halong Bay to Hong Kong, China. This 14-day cruise is priced from $1,699 for early booking.

The Oosterdam makes a South Pacific cruise, sailing from Sydney, Australia on a 14-day itinerary to Bay of Islands in New Zealand along with Auckland, Auranga, Napier, Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin and cruising through Milford Sound before returning to Sydney. This will give you a good look at New Zealand with all of its beauty — and it will be summer time down there. The cruise departs Dec. 19 with fares beginning at $1,999 with early booking.

When we say “book early,” that means Holland America Line wants you to reserve your cruise by Sept. 15 to get the low rates. Consult your travel

agent or call 1-877-724-5425. The other popular cruise lines will probably offer their lower rates if you book early also.

I realize there are those who will not take a cruise regardless of price, so we offer the following tour ideas for the Christmas and New Year holidays. How about the Middle East and Jordan? On The Go Tours offers a departure Dec. 22 flying to Amman, Jordan.

Sightseeing will include Jerash, arguably the world’s best preserved Roman provincial city with almost perfect acoustics in the South Theater, chariot-wheel marks in the paving stones of the Cardo and an exciting chariot race in the 2,000-year-old Hippodrome.

You will then drive on to Umm Qais to visit the dramatic black-basalt Roman Decapolis city featuring great views over the Sea of Galilee and the Golan Heights.

Following this, you will have days at Mt. Nebo; a visit to the Citadel and Archaeological Museum; a visit a souk, a popular street market; and dining at several interesting restaurants. You will also drive up to the Sea of Galilee for photos and shopping and see the site from which Moses saw the Promised Land. As you drive through the Jordan River Valley you will see the Dead Sea, Jericho and the spires of domes of the Mount of Olives and Bethlehem in the Judean Hills.

You will have Christmas day at the Rose City, Petra and the surrounding area. Later there will be a visit to Karak Castle and a day at Wadi Rum. You will see Mojsaics of Madaba and many other treasures in Jordan before you depart for home.

Another On The Go Tour visits Russia; another Egypt; and there is also a tour of Morocco on the north/west African Coast available.

The Morocco tour begins in Marrakech. From there, it goes to Dades Gorge, an interesting valley that extends from the High Atlas to the Jebel Sarhro range in the south. The Berbers built many Kasbahs in the vicinity of gorges for defense purposes. This is a stunning setting in a beautiful region.

Then, the Morocco tour offers Christmas dinner at Todra Gorge. Here, you can relax and later visit a traditional Berber home where the semi nomadic family have set up a cooperative for the trade of carpets and handicrafts for all the rural communities across the Atlas. You could also do some rock climbing if the mood hits you. You will also visit villages on the Sahara desert, perhaps ride a camel and view the area made famous by Lawrence of Arabia. You will also visit the medieval medina and see markets where spices and all types of items are sold and traded just as they were in the old times. You will see snake charmers, food stalls, dancers, acrobats, fortunetellers, musicians and henna artists.

The tour is back in Marrakech to celebrate the New Year with a rock band in the Kasbah.

Another tour flies to Beijing, China for a complete tour of this most interesting and fascinating country.

You would spend Christmas at the Great Wall near Beijing for starters. Also included is a tour of the Forbidden City; Zian to see the Terracotta Warriors; and New Year’s at the Harbin Snow and Ice World; followed by more sightseeing of some of the major sights in the country before returning home. This would be a very different Christmas and New Year’s adventure staying at the best hotels with a tour guide all the way.

All of the tours discussed are put together by On The Go Tours, which can be contacted at 1-866-3776147.

If you do not wish to travel far from home, consider flying to Hawaii for a two-week visit, perhaps taking a friend or relative with you.

Many people still travel to Mexico for a 7-day stay at one of the very deluxe all-inclusive hotels. Again, your travel agent will be able to help with suggestions and can supply you with brochures to study. The travel agent can also make the bookings for you at no extra charge.

Happy investigating where to travel and may it be a good choice for you.

RIM HISTORY RIM HISTORY BACK WHEN | STAN BROWN

RIM COUNTRY PLACES CHAPTER 2 — THE APACHE TRAIL

It is always fun to take visitors on tours of the Rim Country, pointing out the sights and telling the stories.

One of our favorite day trips was to make the “big loop” from Payson down Route 87 to the Bush Highway, past Saguaro Lake, and on to US 60 and the Apache Trail (called State Route 88). That leads us to Roosevelt Lake and holds magnificent views every mile of the way. It is the only way to approach the lovely Canyon and Apache Lakes. At Roosevelt Dam, Route 188 up the Tonto Basin enables a return to Payson.

As we begin our alphabetical journey to various Rim Country places, the first on our itinerary is STAN BROWN the Apache Trail. Several old trails in the area carried this title, as one might expect in a territory populated by Apaches for several hundred years before white settlers arrived on the scene.

For example, Glenn “Slim” Ellison, in his book “Back Trackin’”, traces an “Apache trail” from the ford where Tonto Creek entered the Salt River (before the dam) northeast to Cibicue. However, when today we refer to The Apache Trail, we mean something quite different.

The first time we traveled The Apache Trail it was so rough and unimproved we commented that, while it was incredibly beautiful, “We sure don’t want to do this again.” However, intervening years have seen many improvements, wider lanes, pavement for 23 miles from Apache Junction to Tortilla Flat, and the rest of it very well graded.

At first, the dam was named Tonto Dam. There was no road to the site and up to that time supplies had been delivered to Payson by pack mule train over the Mazatzal Mountains. There had been civic pressure to develop the old Indian trail along the Salt River to bring Mesa, Tempe and Phoenix closer to the lumbering potential of the Tonto Basin. For centuries, that trail had been used by Salado people and later by Apaches who raided the Pima villages and settlers’ ranches.

The development of this old trail into a wagon road became a reality when it was necessary to bring supplies for the building of the dam. A cement plant at the site would also provide cement for the growing communities in the Valley. A town grew at the site called Roosevelt, and Apaches were brought in from San Carlos and camps around Payson to labor on the road.

They lived in tents, moving their camps as the work progressed. By July of 1904 the road was laid six miles beyond the old mining camp of Goldfield, where a gold strike in 1892 had led to a five-year boom and a population of 400. The ghost town would later be developed as an old west Main Street for tourist consumption.

One of the foremen for the Apache crews was the well-known chief of Army Scouts Al Sieber. He knew the trail and how to work well with the Indians. After the road to Roosevelt was complete, the crews forged a road up Tonto Basin, above the proposed water level of the new lake. It was during that phase Al Sieber was killed by a large boulder that broke loose and rolled over him.

The most treacherous and expensive section of the road was going over Fish Creek Hill. A vertical cliff

rose several hundred feet above the road and summer rains washed out what progress had been made.

Rock fills as wide as 75 feet were required to make the road wide enough, and other places called for 70foot cuts in the rock.

Thirty years after the work was completed, Payson’s Audrie Harrison related how this steep hill was where he learned to drive a truck as a youth. He was a “go-fer” — assisting a truck driver named Leonard Hart, hauling 18 tons of mining machinery from Phoenix to Payson in the Harrison truck. In Audrie’s own words, the driver “kept stopping every thirty minutes and checking the load. I didn’t get it, but he had a bottle of hooch stashed in the load back there. Well, we got to the top of Fish Creek Hill and he decided he’d take a nap. There was a place to pull off, and (when he did) he was out just like that! I began to smell this alcohol, and I decided he was drunk. I wasn’t going to sit there until he sobered up; it was hot. So I got off my side and got on the driver’s side. I pushed him over to the passenger seat and started the thing up, put it in the lowest gear and started off Fish Creek Hill. The truck had a fourspeed transmission, and by the time I got to Payson I could shuffle all three sticks and never scrape a gear.

“I stopped downtown to let him out, and that guy never came after his paycheck. He knew the old man was going to kill him…”

Audrie drove it on home, arrived about 2:30 a.m. and backed the truck perfectly into the driveway. His mother came running out asking where Leonard was, and when she heard the story she exclaimed, “Where did you drive that truck from?” The next morning his dad was mad, as expected, but not at his son. For the lad the word was, “Well, I guess you can drive it then,” After that the young man became a regular driver.[1] When the new road allowed supply wagons to come directly into the Rim Country it brought a new way of life. Lewis Pyle said that was the end of his family’s pack train. It also meant travel to Phoenix for Rim Country settlers was much easier. Mail service began on The Roosevelt Road, as it was called, in December 1904, a one-way trip taking 11 hours. By Aug. 23, 1905 the first automobiles were negotiating the trip, 62 miles from Roosevelt to the railhead in Mesa. That first year 1.5-million pounds of freight passed over the road. By the time the last stone was in place for the dam, the heavy wagons had pulverized the dirt on the road to a depth of 4 inches.

In November 1908 a racecar driver from Los Angeles, P. H. Greer, claimed he made the round trip in 8.5 hours. He drove a 4-cylinder, 20-horsepower Mitchell runabout and had some delays in passing 25 teams of horses in both directions. Greer said that

Goldfield was developed into a tourist attraction. Here, author Brown’s family inspects the Western town (circa 1963).

after all his travels, he thought “This the most beautiful motor trip in America…”

Almost everyone who traveled the road came away with such impressions of its beauty. In 1911, former President Theodore Roosevelt, whose initiative had enabled the building of the dam, attended the dedication.

He said, “The Apache Trail combines the grandeur of the Alps, the glory of the Rockies, the magnificence of the Grand Canyon, and then adds an indefinable something that none of the others have. To me it is the most awe-inspiring and most sublimely beautiful panorama nature has ever created.”

his opinion. However, travelers ever since continued to rave about the drive. It was after this that the Mesa to Roosevelt road was called The Apache Trail.

It was a title promoted by the Southern Pacific Railroad when the company developed a side trip for tourists on the railroad. The railroad also operated the Apache Lodge on the newly formed Roosevelt Lake.

In February 1987 the Apache Trail was dedicated as Arizona’s first historic road.

RIM REVIEW • AUGUST 29, 2012

COVER STORY | TERESA MCQUERREY

Metro Services photo

Bountiful HARVEST Time for Rim Country gardeners to reap rewards August comes to a close this week and Rim gardens are going great thanks to the moisture-heavy air of monsoon season. Gardeners are harvesting the rewards of their summer labors left and right.

Now it’s time to decide what to do with all the goodies.

The organizers of the Payson Community Garden, just east of the Church of the Nazarene on Tyler Parkway, presented a program on preserving vegetables, fruit and meat Aug. 22 at the church. The program will be repeated at 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, Aug. 29.

Food preservation options presented included freezing, canning with a water bath or pressure steamer and dehydration.

Probably the easiest is freezing — after all everyone has a refrigerator and all refrigerators have freezer com-

partments.

Linda Kreimeyer presented the information about freezing fresh produce at the Aug. 22 program on food preservation. She focused on zucchini, since everyone participating in the Payson Community Garden has so much of it this year.

She said if zucchini is harvested when it is between six and eight inches in length it is best for slicing for preservation purposes. If it gets larger, there are a lot of seeds, so shredding/grating it is the better process prior to freezing.

The equipment needed for freezing are a couple of big pots; one of these needs to have a colander insert or be big enough in which to place a metal or heavy plastic colander and also have a tight-fitting lid; plastic freezer bags or other containers suitable for freezing; a food grater; and a good, sharp kitchen knife.

Before most fresh produce can be frozen, it needs to be blanched — placed briefly in boiling water and boiled for a few to several minutes, then put in cold water to stop the “cooking.” Blanching cleans the surface and kills the organisms that will lead to spoilage; it also helps retain the color and most of the nutrients.

Using the knife, slice the zucchini into relatively even pieces about 3/8-inch wide.

Put enough water in the pot (with the colander and lid) to come to a depth of about an inch or two and bring to a boil. Place the sliced (or grated) zucchini in the colander and lower it into the water. If the water does not return to a boil within a minute, there is too much produce in the colander. When the water comes back to a boil, cover the pot and start timing. It takes about three minutes to blanch sliced zucchini and about 1-1/2 minutes to blanch grated zucchini.

Keep the blanched produce in the colander and place in cold water for the same amount of time it was blanched. Once the produce is cooled, drain it well before you place it in a plastic freezer bag. Kreimeyer likes the Ziploc® brand of bags.

A good online resource for blanching times, as well as comprehensive information about all home food preservation is the Web site of the National Center for Home Food Preservation, nchfp.uga.edu.

CANNING

Stephanie Jenkins presented the program on traditional canning. She said some of the best information on canning is in the publications by the two major manuCONTINUED ON PAGE 9

facturers of canning jars, Ball and Kerr. Any fruit or acidic food (pickles, relish, etc.) can be canned, she said.

Using the traditional water bath method — putting produce-filled sealed canning jars in boiling water — requires unblemished, hot canning jars, lids, rings, a properly-sized funnel, a bubble popper, a lid lifter and a jar lifter and a covered pot big enough in which to place several pint or quart jars at once.

Jenkins said real canning jars need to be used, not recycled, jars that once contained commercially produced pasta sauce or mayonnaise. The canning jars and rings, which are screwed over the top of the lids can be recycled, so long as they are blemish-free. The lids used to seal home-canned goods must be new with each processing.

The canning jars must be hot when the produce and accompanying liquid are placed in them. When the jars are filled, the bubble popper is run round the inside of the jar to make sure there are no bubbles in the contents.

The lids must be hot when placed on top of the jars, this keeps the rubber seal pliable when the ring is screwed on and as it cools it tightens. Because the lids are hot, the lid lifter, which contains a magnetized end, keeps you from burning your fingers.

The sealed jars of produce are then placed in a hot water bath (not boiling), with the water coming up an inch over the top of the jars. Bring the water bath to a boil, cover and start timing. According to the information on the NCHFP Web site, at our elevation, the time for canning (in the boiling water bath) is from 30 to 40 minutes depending on the size of jar being used.

Once the appropriate time has elapsed, remove the jars from the water with a jar lifter, dry them off and set aside to cool before storing.

“The only thing hard about canning is the time it takes,” Jenkins said. “Nothing is more rewarding.”

DEHYDRATING

Patti Cotney and Ruth Newton presented the program on dehydrating (drying) food. Newton said it is the oldest form of food preservation.

Equipment needed can be as simple as several hot, dry days (at least 85 degrees and less than 60 percent humidity); a couple of cinder blocks; and two fine-mesh (food safe) screens — or one screen and enough cheesecloth to cover it. Called solar drying, this method is best only for fruit, it is not recommended for vegetables or meat.

Blanching, with some lemon juice concentrate added to the water, is needed when preparing food for electric drying. Cotney said the lemon juice helps the processed food retain some of its color.

“When it (the food) starts to shine, it has been blanched enough,” Cotney said.

Almost everything can be dried, but it is especially difficult to dry potatoes because of the high starch content, she said.

Foods to be dried need to be sliced (diced, chopped, etc.) to a uniform size and spread on the drying tray in a single layer, close together, but not touching to make sure the air flows freely.

Dried food has a very long shelf life, whether it is dried at home or available commercially.

“The ‘use by’ date is really only applicable to commercial meat and dairy products,” Newton said.

Canned goods are fine unless the container begins to bloat, she said.

Among the books Newton recommended: “Recipes for Self-Sufficient Living;” “Cookin’ with Home Storage;” “Stocking Up.” Again, the NCHFP Web site has a great deal of information.

The round dehydrators that can be purchased at big box stores require rearranging (flipping) the food to assure complete processing; with boxed dryers the food is just placed on the trays and the structure as-

sures full circulation of the warm air, these also have temperature control features.

One thing to keep in mind when drying food — it takes a lot of fresh product to produce a usable amount of goods. To get four to five pounds of dried squash, you would need to start with 50 pounds fresh.

It is also takes a lot of time — that 50 pounds of fresh squash would need 12 to 16 hours to dry down to that four to five pounds.

PRESSURE CANNING

Suzie Hintze gave the program on pressure canning. She said anything that you could preserve with a water bath can be canned with a pressure cooker — really big pressure cooker, big enough to hold about seven quart jars at a time, or, for the very industrious, big enough to hold 21 quarts — three stacks of seven jars.

However, smaller units will also work.

Pressure canners should be deep enough for one layer of quart or smaller size jars, or deep enough for two layers of pint or smaller size jars. The USDA recommends that a canner be large enough to hold at least 4 quart jars to be considered a pressure canner for the USDA published processes, according to the NCHFP Web site.

The steps to prepare foods and jars for pressure canning are the same as those for water bath canning. However, pressure canning is the only process recommended for canning vegetables and meats.

The health care professionals at Payson Dermatology want to make sure their friends and neighbors stay safe during the bright (and even not so bright) days of summer and fall as they enjoy the area’s activities and reap the bounty of their gardens. They have provided the following information to help fight skin cancer and damage to the skin.

Proper sun protection and precautions are important year-round, but they are especially important during the spring, summer and fall months when there is more exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun — especially in Arizona and at higher altitudes, such as those in the Rim Country.

A reduction in risk for skin cancers and skin damage can be had if the following precautions are followed: • Seek shade, especially during midday hours.

• Wear clothing to protect exposed skin.

• Wear a hat with a wide brim to shade the face, head, ears and neck.

• Wear sunglasses that wrap around and block

as close to 100 percent of both UVA and UVB rays as possible.

• Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen, which blocks UVA and UVB rays, with sun protective factor (SPF) 30 or higher.

Apply the sunscreen 20 minutes before going outside and reapply every two hours when exposed to the sun outside, through car windows, house windows and even on cloudy days. Make it a part of a daily regimen to apply sunscreen every day that skin will be exposed to ultraviolet rays from the sun.

Avoid indoor tanning. Most of the blotchy pigmentation, wrinkles, loose skin, skin cancers and pre-cancers found on the skin of older individuals are largely avoidable if only the proper sun precautions are followed.

STRANGE BUT TRUE | SAMANTHA WEAVER

HEADING TOWARD DEATH • If you live in the South, home of huge roaches, you probably won’t be surprised to learn that a cockroach can live for a week without a head. When the headless insect does finally die, it’s from starvation, not from the loss of its head.

• Those who study such things say that your brain can store 100 times as much information as a typical desktop computer.

• In 1930, United Airlines began using the aviation industry’s first stewardesses. To qualify for the position, applicants had to be registered nurses.

• George Washington, Dolley Madison, Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton helped to found this country, but that wasn’t all they had in common; they were also all big fans of eating ice cream.

• If you ever hear an orangutan belch, you’d better watch out. That’s a warning sign that you’re encroaching on his territory.

• When Andrew Jackson was running for president in 1828, an opponent called him a jackass. Instead of being offended, Jackson embraced the epithet, using the image of a donkey in campaign materials to represent his stubborn refusal to knuckle under to big business. Later, Thomas Nash, a political cartoonist in New York, started using the donkey to represent the Democratic Party as a whole.

• If you’re a well-traveled person, you might have noticed that the average woman in Scandinavia is taller than the average man in Asia.

• Only 12 people have walked on the surface of the moon.

• The framework for the Statue of Liberty was built by Gustave Eiffel, who later became famous for building Paris’ iconic tower.

• If you’re stopping at a fast-food restaurant for lunch today, you might want to consider the following: It takes a whopping 1,500 gallons of water to produce an average fast-food meal.

• In 1938, Time magazine featured Adolph Hitler on the cover as its Man of the Year.

• You might be surprised at some of the amazing feats that can be accomplished with the aid of modern medicine. In 2008, two women in India gave birth at the age of 70. With the aid of egg donation and postmenopausal in vitro fertiliza-

tion, Rajo Devi Lohan gave birth to her only child, a girl. Charan Singh Panwar and his wife, Omkari Panwar, already had two daughters and five grandchildren, but they wanted a son. Using the same procedure, Omkari had twins, a boy and a girl.

• The first time a toilet was ever seen on television was in the pilot episode of “Leave It to Beaver,” in 1957.

• The most common name in the world is Muhammed.

• Those who study such things say that there are 45,000 chickens for every person on the planet.

• Each fingernail on the Statue of Liberty is nearly a foot long.

• Filmmaker George Lucas is arguably best known for his “Star Wars” franchise, but he also directed “American Graffiti.” During the making of that earlier film, he designated each reel of film with an R before the reel’s number, and each instance of dialog was prefixed with a D. At one point during the sound mixing, the sound designer needed to use Reel 2, Dialog 2, and so asked for “R2D2.” Lucas liked the sound of it so much that he used it for the name of a robot character in his later work.

• You can tell a cranberry is ripe when it can be dribbled like a basketball.

• Those who study such things (and seemingly have too much time on their hands) say that a quarter has 119 grooves around the outside edge, while dimes have 118.

• Have you ever heard of a woman named Thelma Pickles? Unless you’re a somewhat obsessive fan of the Beatles, probably not. She was John Lennon’s first girlfriend.

• Among those who play basketball professionally, the men average 6 feet, 7 inches tall, while the women average an even 6 feet.

• If you’re a vegetarian, you’re part of the 3 percent of American adults who shun meat. In India, though, you’d be part of a much larger minority; nearly a third of the population of that country is vegetarian.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A change that you’d hoped for is down the line. But you still need to be patient until more explanations are forthcoming. Continue to keep your enthusiasm in check.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your social life expands as new friends come into your life. But while you’re having fun, your practical side also sees some positive business potential within your new circle.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your workplace situation continues to improve. Look for advantages you might have missed while all the changes were going on around you. That trusted colleague can help.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Resist the urge to hunker down in your bunker until things ease up. Instead, get rid of that woe-is-me attitude by getting up and getting out to meet old friends and make new ones.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Now that you’re back enjoying the spotlight again, you should feel re-energized and ready to take on the challenge of bringing those big, bold plans of yours to completion.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) A former friend would like to repair a relationship you two once enjoyed. Your positive response could have an equally positive impact on your life. Think about it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Resist making impulsive decisions. Stay on that steady course as you continue to work out workplace problems. Be patient. All will soon be back in balance.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You might feel confident about taking a promising offer, but continue to be alert for what you’re not being told about it. Don’t fret.

Time is on your side.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) People dear to you might be planning a way to show appreciation for all you’ve done for them. Accept the honor graciously. Remember: You deserve it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Congratulations. Your self-confidence is on the rise. This could be a good time to tackle those bothersome situations you’ve avoided both at home and at work.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You feel obligated to return a favor. (Of course, you do.) But heed advice from those close to you and do nothing until you know for sure what’s being asked of you.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Your loving reassurance helped revive a once-moribund relationship. But be wary of someone who might try to do something negative to reverse this positive turn of events.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

Easing arthritis pain without medicines

BY PAUL G. DONOHUE, M.D. NORTH AMERICA SYND., INC.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My 88-year-old relative has high blood pressure and atrial fibrillation, both of which are well-controlled by medication.

She is mentally sharp but has developed arthritis in various joints. She’s been told that she can’t take any medicine for pain because it would interfere with her medicines for blood pressure and atrial fib. I know she could have a better quality of life with less pain. Is there something she can take? — A.H. ANSWER: I have to presume your relative has osteoarthritis, the kind of arthritis almost all older people develop. Cushioning cartilage in joints crumbles and eventually becomes functionless.

Bone rubs against bone, and that is painful and stiffens joints.

Your relative ought to try heat in the form of hot baths, hot packs or heating pads. Heat lessens joint pain. If heat doesn’t do the trick for her, she should try ice packs. Heat can be left on a joint for 15 minutes; ice for 10.

If she has hip, knee or foot arthritis, padded shoes or padded shoe inserts lessen the force generated in leg joints when the foot hits the ground.

An exercise program supervised by a physical therapist will strengthen muscles around the affected joints, provide them protection and give the joints a greater range of motion.

Occupational therapists devise splints or braces that protect joints and mitigate pain. They also can suggest devices that make the tasks of daily living much less troublesome.

Has she tried anti-inflammatory medicines applied to the skin directly over an affected joint?

Pennsaid lotion is one example. Some of the medicine does get into the blood, so she’ll need to have her doctor’s approval for it. It is a prescription medicine. The amount of medicine that gets into the blood is less than the amount she’d get from an oral medicine, yet a sufficient amount reaches the joint.

The arthritis booklet presents the details of the different kinds of arthritis and their treatment.

Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue — No. 301W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 328536475. 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 four weeks for delivery.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I just learned that my niece has basal cell cancer on her scalp. The doctor told her not to worry. Her mother is concerned.

I’d never heard of it. Is this something to worry about? — A.P. ANSWER: Basal cell cancer is the most common kind of skin cancer. It’s quite treatable and most often completely curable. Up to 2 million new cases of it occur yearly in the United States. Sunlight and a tendency for the person to sunburn easily have a hand in its occurrence. Basal cell cancers almost never spread to other body locations.

They can be dried with an electric current and then scraped off. They can be treated with a laser, frozen or removed with 5-fluorouracil cream applied by the patient. And this is only a small sample of the ways to treat them. Your niece, her mother and you can all relax.
