Volunteer labor and generous contributions have made it possible to construct a memorial for those who died, survived and worked hundreds of hours in search and rescue efforts during the 1970 Labor Day Flood. The memorial, located on the Rim Country Museum complex grounds in Green Valley Park, will be formally dedicated at 10 a.m., Saturday, Sept. 3. All are invited to attend — bring lawn chairs and/or blankets for seating and a raincoat in the event of bad weather. The museum will also have a special exhibit of photos taken in the aftermath of the flood by the late Nyle Leatham, whose widow has donated more than a 1,000 negatives of his work to the Northern Gila County Historical Society.

A memorial to remember and honor BY TERESA MCQUERREY RIM REVIEW EDITOR

It’s a shadow that hangs heavy in the memories of those who were there. A few years ago a group of folks up in the Christopher Creek area decided to shine a light on the shadow of that terrible tragedy — the 1970 Labor Day Flood. There was a reunion to reminisce and honor those who died, the survivors and the public servants and volunteers who answered the call of duty for search and rescue operations. Out of that event came a movement to create a standing memorial to the tragedy and all who bear the scars of its impact. Volunteers and contributions provided materials and labor to construct a monument at the Rim Country Museum complex in Green Valley Park. The memorial will be formally dedicated at 10 a.m., Saturday, Sept. 3. The tremendous flood took several

lives — some estimates put the number at nearly two dozen — and changed many more in the Rim Country in 1970, according to an article written by Tim Ehrhardt, an area historian and former columnist for The Rim Review. He went on, “Many people were just swept away. Some call it ‘the deadliest natural disaster in the history of Arizona.’” The Payson Roundup, published Sept. 10, 1970, devoted its front page to coverage of the Labor Day Flood, “… took a toll of at least 10 lives in the Payson area. Six others were still reported missing late Tuesday,” that early report stated. “The known dead: Mrs. Margaret Dickinson, 59, Payson; Susie Allen, 28, Phoenix; Kyle MacDonald, 40, Mesa; Ina MacDonald, 33, his wife; two of their children, Sue, 8, and Nan, 10; Gilbert A. Duthie, 39, Mesa. “The bodies of three unidentified

drowning victims had been recovered. Those of a man and a girl were found near Gisela, and that of another man was found in the Kohl’s Ranch area. “Still missing were Arthur Dickinson, 59, who was believed to have been with his wife Margaret, when their car went into Sycamore Creek; Tod and Sloan Chandler, who were in the MacDonald party; Randall MacDonald, son of Mr. and Mrs. Kyle MacDonald; and an unidentified man and wife who lived near the Tonto Rim American Baptist Camp and whose home was swept away.” The Roundup went on to report, “Hundreds of holiday travelers were marooned in and near Payson, and a hundred or more rescuers spent Sunday, Monday and much of Tuesday scouring the flood-swept land for victims and survivors ... “The Payson schools opened their

cafeteria to serve both rescuers and marooned visitors, supplying hot food and beverages to about 80 on Saturday, 14 on Sunday, and 100 (mostly rescue squad) on Monday. “The gymnasium at Julia Randall Elementary School was opened to visitors, and about 40 persons slept there. The lobbies of the Ox Bow Inn and Kohl’s Ranch Lodge also served as sleeping quarters for travelers.” The highway patrol asked for the schools to send buses to the Mount Ord area to pick up refugees and a church bus also went to help. It was expected there would be about 175 people, “but only 80 were able to reach the buses.” Not only did the flood destroy bridges, but there was also substantial highway damage. The Roundup story reported, “Highway Commissioner Walter Surett said that 6,000 yards of dirt will be CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

Good Learn about Verde beavers, otters go

Play hooky Tuesday, Sept. 6 from 10:30 a.m. to approximately 2 p.m., for a free field trip, “Beaver Blather and Otter Nonsense: Roles of Aquatic Mammals in Riparian Health,” which will take participants along the Verde River to learn about beavers and otters, and the role they play in the ecosystem. Those who wish to join should meet at 10:30 a.m. at the Yavapai County Administration Building’s Board Room at 10 S. 6th Street in Cottonwood. This field trip is part of the Verde River Basin Partnership’s ongoing free monthly program series for the public. The trip will include some hiking along the Verde River to search for signs of otter, beaver and other animals. Expert guides will interpret and expand upon the clues found. In addition to learning about the fascinating traits and the ecological benefits of beavers and otters, participants will also hear studies and stories that will help illuminate the complex nature of

our relationships to these mammals. This trip offers the chance to better understand the diversity of life in and along the Verde River. For instance, beavers are a keystone species that influence many other species. Beaver dams raise the water table alongside a stream, creating wetlands and slowing floodwaters. They diversify aquatic habitats, providing niches for many organisms. Their series of dams slow down runoff, retaining nutrients and reducing erosion. By felling trees, beavers create openings for new shrub and tree growth, increasing plant diversity. Innumerable species of insects, birds, and mammals benefit from or rely partly or entirely on habitat essentials provided by beaver ponds. The river otter is one of these species and an indicator of ecosystem health. The trip guides will be Walt Anderson and Chip Norton. Anderson is a naturalist, artist, photographer, and professor of environmental studies at Prescott College. Formerly a refuge biologist, Anderson pioneered a program of access and interpretation in the Sutter Buttes of California, the subject of two books. He has also led nature-based and photography expeditions around the world. Norton, a third generation Arizonan, lives next to the Verde River in Camp Verde. He retired from his project management career in 2008 and has since served on several nonprofit boards, municipal and regional boards, and commissions. Norton is the president of the Friends of the Verde River Greenway and program manager of the Verde River Watershed Restoration Coalition. The Verde River Basin Partnership is a scientific and educational resource raising awareness about the Verde River Basin’s interconnected groundwater and surface water systems, and the life they support.

But their inexperigrade school and junior high become ence trips them up and their dishonesty reunited in Florida as the war in does not carry them through. Afghanistan reaches a thunderous peak. This more or less true story comes

from an original story in Rolling Stone magazine and then a book by Guy Lawson. The title of the book was “Arms and the Dude.” New scriptwriter Stephen Chin, TV wordsmith Jason Simlovic and director Todd Phillips contributed to the script. Phillips also has an Oscar nomination, for the script for “Borat,” an amazing, shocking comedy about a guy from Kazakhstan. Phillips also directed. Sometimes, often even, having too many writers has a script moving in several directions at once. We never know if we should laugh at the overreaching youngsters or pity them. Or indeed, we wonder, if we should condemn them for their wretched lack of honesty. But the acting comes through in a powerful way. Hill might play a character that repels us, but he certainly plays him well. Teller gives us a look at a guy pushed beyond his abilities and beyond his moral boundaries and we believe in the character. Cuban-born beauty Ana de Armas plays Iz, the woman in

David Packouz’s life. We will see her again next year in the sequel to “Blade Runner.” Bradley Cooper has a supporting role as a gunrunner. With four Oscar nominations behind him, he has no problem turning in a solid, honest performance. Two things disturbed me about the writing. The three leading American characters all have very vocal and strong liberal leanings; all are viscerally against the war. But all three liberals instantly throw aside their beliefs for cash. This makes liberals look bad. And the two young arms dealers are Jewish guys in the role of middlemen, a stock characterization since the day of Shakespeare. I would think we had gotten beyond such stereotypes in our moving pictures. This two saw blade film is watchable, but not, in the end, enjoyable. R-rated for constant bad language. The actual David Packouz had a cameo. Bradley Cooper helped produce the $45 million movie. It’s made back some $21 million at the box office.

RIM GARDEN GUIDE

Harvest time has arrived in Rim Country, so get out there are start picking your produce.

To pick or not pick BY CATHY HICKEN

HIGH COUNTRY GARDEN CLUB

After a slow start this year my garden is now starting to produce bounty. Although not as good as last year’s crop, this year’s offerings are proving to be more than adequate. It’s been an uphill battle with weather, bugs and various viral and fungal diseases. Now is the time of peak harvest for most of my plants. Many gardeners are faced with the dilemma of when to harvest the fruits of their labors. Some go for big; some go for small and tasty and others are not quite sure when to pick. I favor small and tasty myself. The reason for this is

that when vegetables are smaller they contain the maximum amount of nutrients and good taste. Plants have this biological imperative to reproduce and give their seeds the best start. They do this by producing fruit with the best nursery for the seeds. When the fruit is at the height of its best reproductive time, the seeds start to grow. The trick is to harvest the fruit at this time. Any longer and the fruit loses taste and nutrients because they go to producing the best seeds. In the case of most vegetables, bigger is not better!

Families of those lost in flood expected at dedication FROM PAGE 1

needed to fill the gashes in the roadbed caused by the storm” (north of Sycamore Creek, which is between Sunflower and Payson). Roundup columnist Rod Britain, who has been involved in the development of the Labor Day Flood reunion and memorial, talked about the historic and upcoming events in his most recent column, which was published Friday, Aug. 26. Many other facts have come to light since the Labor Day Flood reunion three years ago: • Heather Fuller and her friend, Pamela Weese, made their way out of a sinking vehicle, scratching and scrambling their way to a tree on higher ground as Heather watched the remainder of the families wash down Tonto Creek. Wet and cold, there they waited for rescue. The Sept. 10, 1970 Roundup had this account, “The party had been staying at a cabin north of Kohl’s Ranch owned by the Fuller family. Fearing the building might be washed away, MacDonald had everyone got into their cars. “Mrs. MacDonald drove the leading

auto, MacDonald the second. As they approached the Tonto-Horton Bridge over Tonto Creek, Miss Weese said, ‘I saw a huge wall of water coming.’ “‘The water caught him up and the car went over a cliff like a toy,’ Miss Weese said. ‘I saw him clinging to a tree. Then he disappeared.’” • A couple of young friends were caught in the floodwaters, desperately holding on to a tree awaiting rescue. Suddenly, Kim Ashby’s hands slipped from the tree as Karen “Cookie” White quickly reached into the floodwaters, grabbed a handful of hair and brought Kim back to relative safety. This is an event that Cookie blocked from her memory for 43 years. • Moris and Beverly Rhodes and their three children were camping along the creek and were washed away in their Volkswagen minibus. Along the Tonto, just before the confluence with Christopher Creek, are the engine, transmission and undercarriage of the Volkswagen minibus swept away at the Horton Creek Bridge. Dave Elston tells of the search and recovery effort on the day following the flood, in which young Dave and his dad participated.

Focusing their eyes on the ground, he happened to look up to find the body of that Volkswagen minivan hanging precariously some 25 feet above the ground in an oak tree. Heather Fuller continues to come to Rim Country to fish the area streams and will be attending the dedication. Family members of Richard and Nancy Fellars will be attending the dedication. There will be a large delegation representing the MacDonald and Chandler victims. Lori Duthie Thatcher, daughter of Gil Duthie, will attend in honor of her father. Susan Leota Allen, the lone victim from Christopher Creek, will have her daughters, Lori and Lisa in attendance. Margaret Kleinschmidt and others from her family will be in attendance. She is the sister of Moris Rhodes. Allan Kelley hopes to attend with his grandfather Tom Magness. Tom is the nephew of the Campbells who were washed away from their cabin on the creek. The 1970 Labor Day Flood resulted from the remnants of Tropical Storm

Norma, according to an article by Tim Ehrhardt for the Roundup, published a couple of years ago. “Tropical Storm Norma started as a tropical disturbance on Sunday, Aug. 30 and became a tropical storm the next day. Over the following days it strengthened, with winds of 60 miles per hour on Thursday, Sept. 3. It would weaken into a mere tropical depression by the following day, but its outflow was sucked into Arizona. “Rainfall records were set throughout the region. During a 24-hour period covering part of Friday, Sept. 4 and Saturday, Sept. 5, it is estimated that 18 inches of rain fell on the Rim above Tonto Creek Fish Hatchery northeast. Millions of dollars in damage occurred and there were at least 20 fatalities. Most of those fatalities happened when a 30-foot wall of water swept down Tonto Creek just above Kohl’s Ranch. Campers and second homeowners were swept away to their deaths. “Frank Kush’s Arizona State University Sun Devils football team was practicing at Camp Tontozona when the storm hit.

According to the Sept. 10, 1970 Payson Roundup, “players saw two automobiles and parts of two cabins from a neighboring area float by.” A little bit upstream from Camp Tontozona, on Tonto Creek, is where the worst part of the tragedy occurred.” According to Sandy Carson, vice president and archivist for the Northern Gila County Historical Society, many of the photos of the flood’s aftermath taken by the late Nyle Leatham and donated to the Society, will be specially displayed at the Rim Country Museum for the dedication of the memorial. The dedication is at 10 a.m., Saturday, Sept. 3; it is located in front of the Rim Country Museum in Green Valley Park.

Harvest time FROM PAGE 3

most of us are summer squash. They can turn into baseball bats overnight. Unless you are going for the biggest prize at the fair, summer squash are best about six to eight inches long. Winter squash can be harvested before frost when their shells harden. A good way to test hardness is to press your thumbnail into the squash at the stem end. If it does not puncture easily, it’s ready. Slicing cucumbers are best when about six inches long. Pickling cucumbers are at their best when at least two inches long. When cucumbers turn yellow they also turn bitter. Green beans are another crop that can get away from you. Bush beans are another notoriously fast producer of fruit. If you like fresh green beans, pick them before the seeds start to form about two to three weeks after they bloom. When they get older they tend to be stringy and tough and not nearly as sweet. Our garden favorite, tomatoes are best picked (and eaten!) when they are uniformly colored and come off the vine readily. Tomatoes do continue to ripen off the vine. It is better to harvest tomatoes early rather than late. Sweet peppers are an easy one to harvest. You can pick them at any time in their cycle. Peppers will continue to turn red or orange if left on the plant. When the fruit reaches the size and color you desire, harvest it. Hot peppers can vary in heat depending on the amount of stress they undergo. They can be made hotter by limiting their water and nutrients before harvest; cooler weather tends to tone down the heat. Muskmelons are ready when the fruit slips off the vines easily and the netting (raised areas on the skin) is even and the fruit is firm. Watermelons will produce a “sweet spot” that is yellow on the underside and makes a dull thump when tapped. Their color also changes from shiny to dull. Cabbage is best when the heads are very compact and firm. Harvest a head carefully by cutting it from the base of the plant and leave the plant. Any greens are always best when picked small. This includes leaf lettuces, spinach and arugula. It’s usually a good idea to pick these types as well as Swiss chard, scallions, radishes and any member of the cabbage family when there is enough to fix one meal. When your crops start to ripen and are ready to be harvested, visit you garden daily. If you keep on top of the harvest your plants will continue to produce. Harvest small for the best flavor and nutritional punch. Join the High Country Garden Club at 6:30 p.m. every first Thursday of the month at Mount Cross Lutheran Church, in the log cabin, 601 E. Highway 260.
