River and cruising 1,000 miles up river to the city of Manaus. I have found a departure that does this very itinerary. You would depart Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. on Nov. 23 this year, checking into the luxury Holland America ship, the Prinsendam. This is one of the highest rated ships in the Holland America Line fleet. It is reserved for longer, more exotic cruises. Holding only 840 guests, it is really a wonderful way to get to know your shipmates and make new friends. The ship started life as the Royal Viking Sun and since has been completely modernized and beautified to today’s luxury standards. Cabins are very nice and range from interior to ocean view, balcony, on up to suites. The crew is all handpicked from Holland America Lines’ other larger ships. From Florida you set sail south-eastward to first call at St. Thomas in the Caribbean, then to Guadalupe, the Castreis in Saint Lucia, Barbados and on to Devil’s Island off French Guiana in South America. This was once the dreaded prison for French felons you perhaps have read about or seen in films. From here you head into the wide mouth of the Amazon River in Brazil sailing up stream to
Macapa, crossing the Equator and on to Boca da Valeria before docking 1,000 miles up river at the large city of Manaus. You are allowed two days here for fascinating exploration with various excursions into the Amazon jungle as well as river cruising in small boats and a complete city tour, which will include the famed Manaus Opera House. The zoo is worth some time because it is home to animals you won’t see in your zoo. We even booked a tour on a small fishing boat to catch piranha. Didn’t succeed with our poles, but others aboard did and we tasted some. It’s good, small, white fish. From Manus, the ship will head south returning to the Atlantic Ocean then heading north for stops in Trinidad, Tobago and Curacao before returning back to Florida. This trip provides a little more than three weeks of fascinating sailing in a lovely ship. Rates begin in the $5,000 range for an ocean view cabin and go up from there, plus taxes, insurance and air. Go to www.hollndamericaline.com for more information and brochures. I just received word that Pearl Seas Cruises plans to also cruise from Florida to Cuba operating 7-
to 10-day itineraries that will visit Havana, Cienfuegos and Santiago de Cuba on both coasts. The company plans to begin sailing the Pearl Mist in February of 2016. Go to www.pearlseascruises. com for additional information. Some of our readers have told me that their favorite cruise line is Crystal. It has long been regarded as perhaps the most luxurious cruise line on the high seas. Earlier this year it was announced that the company was sold to a Chinese investment company who recently ordered three new ships with delivery beginning in 2020. They also plan to operate a luxury exploration vessel and are ordering from Boeing a new 787-8 Dreamliner configured for only 60 business-class seats to operate 28-day, round-the-world tours several times each year along with other exotic itineraries. Cruise fares are rising and will be a little higher in 2016. You can still get fairly good rates by watching ads on the web and the various deals that might include free drink packages, free tipping, several hundred on-board credit spending and other goodies thrown into the mix. There are still many interesting travel and cruise packages left for this year’s travel. Enjoy!

RIM HISTORY RIM HISTORY RIM COUNTRY HISTORY | TIM EHRHARDT
LABOR DAY FLOOD OF 1970 Editor’s note: Not all “history” dates back 70 or more years. As the Labor Day Weekend of 2015 approaches, history columnist Tim Ehrhardt recounts a more recent historical event from just 45 years ago. His article is supplemented with additional accounts published by the Payson Roundup. One of the deadliest events in Rim Country occurred 45 years ago this week. The remnants of Tropical Storm Norma slammed the area resulting in numerous fatalities northeast of Payson on Labor Day Weekend in 1970. Tropical Storm Norma started as a tropical disturbance on Sunday, Aug. 30 and became a tropical storm the next day. Over the following days TIM EHRHARDT 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 parts of Friday, Sept. 4 and Saturday, Sept. 5, it is estimated that 18 inches of rain fell on the Rim northeast above Tonto Creek Fish Hatchery. 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. Heather Fuller and her friend Pamela Weese were at the center of the tragedy. They were staying at a cabin very close to the junction of Tonto and Horton Creeks. The Sept. 10, 1970 Payson Roundup told the story. “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 get 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.’” Fuller and Weese survived, and Fuller
still frequents a second home at Kohl’s Ranch. Their friends though were amongst the over 20 people who perished in the tragedy. In the days that followed the tragedy there was an extensive search for survivors and for the bodies of those who had perished. The floodwaters exacted a heavy toll and there are stories of limbs being found in Gisela, over 25 miles downstream from Kohl’s Ranch. The flood also changed the landscape, wiping out many pools along Tonto Creek and doing other damage. Labor Day weekend of 1970 was memorable, but for all of the wrong reasons. Other recollections of the 1970 Labor Day Flood were published in the Payson Roundup in August 2013 as part of the commemoration of the event that took place that year.
1970 LABOR DAY WEEKEND FLOOD — HORTON, CHRISTOPHER AND TONTO CREEKS BY JIM HAGEN
Over Labor Day in 1970, we went to the cabin with friends Garry and Marey Beth McKracken. It started raining as soon as we arrived and didn’t let up for the whole three-day holiday. It poured down for three days and two nights. When the rain ceased, the sound of the rain on the roof stopped, but another sound was still prominent. The sound was intense, like a jet aircraft flying right over the top of the cabin at a low altitude. We looked at one another and all wondered, “What in the world is that noise?” We left the cabin for the first time in three days. The ground was so saturated that water oozed up around our shoes with every step. We headed toward Christopher Creek from where the noise seemed to come. We hiked down the road and toward the Christopher Creek Bridge. The “creek” had become a huge roaring river sweeping everything — trees, logs, mud, rocks, debris of every sort in its path — the power and volume so great that the arroyo could not contain it. The river went over the top of the bridge (20 feet above normal) and half the water left the streambed and was roaring down the highway pushing huge boulders ahead of it. Christopher Creek was changed dramatically. The water, rocks and logs blocked the bridge at Mountain Meadow ranch, flooded cars and left deep mud inside all the cabins. The streambed caved in on both sides and many trees were uprooted. Huge rock piles and log piles were left in the flood’s wake. The storm was over all of Arizona, did a lot of damage and killed 29 people statewide. Most of that loss of life was near Payson in the Rim Country. At Christopher Creek a woman became concerned when water started coming into her home. Her child was next door at a neighbor’s cabin. She charged out of her home to go get her
child and was swept away in the flood of water. Five miles away from Christopher Creek a bridge crosses over Tonto Creek. Horton Creek flows into Tonto at the bridge. Upstream on Tonto Creek two families became concerned about the storm’s violence and decided to leave for Phoenix. Eleven people occupied two station wagons traveling together. Just as they reached the bridge a 40-foot wall of water came down Horton Creek and swept both families away with a loss of all the lives aboard. Years later I found the frame of one of the cars five miles downstream from the bridge. There was utter destruction on the Tonto Creek Bridge site. The bridge was battered and scarred by the trees, logs and boulders that came down with the flood. South of Payson on Highway 87 at Sycamore Creek the water was sweeping over the top of the bridge. A highway patrolman traveling toward Phoenix figured the water was not too deep on the bridge and that he could cross safely. What he didn’t know: the approach at the far end of the bridge was washed out. He plunged off that end of the bridge and lost his life in the floodwaters. The storm completely changed the stream and left large piles of boulders, logs and debris. Locally, every little ravine was a roaring river. No one was safe to try to cross. Because of the washed out bridges we had to return to Phoenix by way of Roosevelt Lake and the Apache Trail ... a long, hot and arduous dirt and gravel road.
THE FLOOD OF 1970
BY BARBARA HIMMELBERGER
I don’t know where the years have gone. In the beginning, about 49 years ago, we rented Cabin #2 at Christopher Creek Lodge each year. But in 1970, the year of the flood, my husband, Bob, said that we needed a bigger cabin. My eldest son, John, was with us, recently back from Vietnam, along with our 15-year-old son, Steve, our 9-year-old daughter, Barbara Ann, and Barbara Ann’s friend, Penny. My middle son, Rob, stayed at home. We ended up renting Cabin #7. The day before the rain came, Penny’s father and brother stopped by on their way up the mountain. There was a trickle of water in the creek. In previous years, we had enjoyed it when it rained. When it began to rain this time, we were not concerned. The girls were reading in the loft while I was knitting a sweater. I think the others were reading, too. The smell and sound of the rain against the backdrop of the forest was very comforting. It was nice and cozy in the cabin. Life was good! After a while, we noticed that the storm was getting louder and the rain heavier. We went outside to see what was going on. It was immediately clear that something unusual was happening. Before long, trees
and boulders were coming down the swollen creek. One log hit the bridge abutment by the entrance to the lodge, flew into the air, and hit Cabin #2! The roof collapsed. By this point, concern had set in. John halfway jokingly said that he did not survive Vietnam to come home and die at Christopher Creek. The water coming down the creek sounded like the ocean. Although John wanted to leave then, his father didn’t think that the water would reach the cabin. He was wrong. No one warned us! When we decided to abandon Cabin #7, the dirt road behind Cabin #2 was washed out. The people in cabin #6 moved up the hill into the next cabin (with strangers). We moved into their cabin. I wrapped the girls in towels and blankets from Cabin #6. To make matters worse, the power went out. During the night we could see and hear the road crews on the highway. The beeping of the trucks when they backed up, along with the sound of the boulders continuing to tumble down the creek, helped contribute to a rather fitful sleep. The next morning, we saw the extent of the destruction. Some people were looking for their small dog. The creek was very wide and all of the vegetation was gone. My husband and sons took some wooden planks from a fence that had been knocked down, laid them over where the road was gone, and we drove out in our two cars. We were very fortunate that our cars had been safe on higher ground. Other cars had been washed down into a wooded area (where the Tandems are now). Because of various bridges being out, we had to drive home to Phoenix via Flagstaff. On the way home, John heard on the car radio that some friends of mine from church, Dick and Jane Fellars, had drowned in the flood. They evidently drove off a bridge at night, not knowing that it had been washed away. Their young son was later found alive, holding on to a tree. All in all, the total number of deaths in the path of the flood was around 26. It is my understanding that a woman drowned trying to cross the creek behind the Landmark restaurant, just down from the lodge. You can’t stop water! Finally, I would just like to say that during my 83 years I have traveled all over the world and Christopher Creek is my most favorite place ever! I love the lodge, the back woods road, and the little store. I love it all! Except for the flood of 1970.
FROM AUGUST 2009 According to report immediately following the disaster, the storm hit at 11:45 p.m. on Friday night of the holiday weekend. Over the next 24 hours Payson’s weather observer Anna Mae Deming measured 6.7 inches of rain. Just how many people died because of the storm is debatable. A couple of weeks after the storm the report was that 17 had died, with one still missing. A National Weather Service site states that 23 died in total from the storm.

Time to tailgate and ready for warmth of traditions Dust off the grill and get those favorite barbecue recipes ready — it’s tailgating time! Whether watching at home or at the stadium, big games provide ample opportunities for entertaining and nothing brings friends together like grilled dishes, flavorful sides and delicious drinks. For many, watching the game is only half the experience. The tailgate is the main event and the fun and rivalry it brings is just as important as watching the game. Just as players work hard to prepare football formations, fans are just as focused on preparations for the big party. When it comes to planning your tailgate menu, grilled fare is always a winning choice. While beer has historically reigned supreme as the game day beverage pairing, more fans are looking to mix things up. Here are some tailgate pairings sure to score big with guests at your next game day celebration: BEEF
Classic selections such as juicy ribs and hamburgers are common fixtures on many tailgating menus. Try creating your own marinades with ingredients like honey, sweet chili sauce, ground ginger or Creole seasoning. Put a personal spin on classic hamburgers by serving them with interesting toppings like cherry chutney, smoky chili or creamy beer cheese. For side options, consider slow-cooked baked beans, jalapeno cornbread muffins or crunchy slaw tossed with a fresh lemon dressing. Bring out the richness of red meats with a glass of Yellow Tail Big Bold Red, which serves up flavors of dark fruits, a hint of spice and bold oak notes. CHICKEN
Whether its wings or sandwiches, chicken is typically on the game day menu, but that doesn’t have to mean boring. Add some extra zing to everyone’s favorite white meat with a spicy curry rub or Asianinspired marinade blend. Serve these dishes with a side of cucumber or cold pasta tossed with roasted red pepper, mozzarella and cherry tomatoes. Not sure of a beverage selection? Pair your poultry with a sweet moscato or bottled sangria. SEAFOOD
Some fans may need a break from the fried foods that grace the tailgate spread. Give guests the option of lighter fare with grilled seafood entrees such as salmon filets with avocado relish or grilled tequila-lime shrimp skewers. As a side, pair your favorite seafood selections with easyto-grill veggies like corn, zucchini and yellow squash. Refresh your palate with a glass of crisp white wine such as Yellow Tail Pinot Grigio, which features refreshing green apple and pear flavors. Whether celebrating at home or away, remember you can still impress your tailgating teammates with a championship-worthy spread. Leave the competition in the dust by putting your own spin on some grilled favorites, and you’re sure to be the game day MVP. For more entertaining ideas, visit yellowtailwine.com.

Truly cool nights in the Rim Country may be more than a few weeks away, but in the meantime, take a look at this recipe, Apple Butter Roast Chicken, find a good deal on whole chickens and start planning a mouth-watering meal to celebrate the arrival of autumn.
FLAVORFUL SIDES FOR THE WIN
Much like a star quarterback, grilled foods get all the glory when it comes to tailgating, but the often overlooked side dishes are the supporting players that help drive your menu to victory. Whether you’re tailgating in the parking lot or hosting a “homegate” in the backyard, plan a well-rounded menu with a wide range of sides. To be sure your sides and apps get the play time they deserve, rely on bold flavors that keep guests coming back for more. These tips from the makers of Tabasco Sauce will help create a flavor-rich spread that makes you the fan favorite. • Stay ahead of the game. Plan ahead by prepping appetizers and chilling drinks beforehand. This allows plenty of time for the ingredients to blend and develop perfect crowd-pleasing flavors. • Change up your lineup. Upgrade traditional tailgate fare with healthier and tastier versions. This Cajun Country Caviar is a delicious take on a tasty tailgate dip that incorporates protein and fresh, seasonal vegetables. Then take it up a notch with some Tabasco Original Red Sauce to make sure it’s the MVP of the party. • Make a pass on budget, not flavor. Inexpensive cuts of meat, such as drumsticks, flank steak and brisket, can make for delicious football fare. Be sure to season well and offer variety of flavor combinations to really impress. • Give veggies some play time. Skip the side salad and throw your favorite veggies, such as corn, zucchini and lettuce, on the
grill. The uniquely smoky flavors from the grill can transform everyday basics into applause-worthy apps in minutes. For more ideas to heat up your menu, visit www.tabasco.com.

CAJUN COUNTRY CAVIAR
When the crisp air and festive colors of fall arrive, it’s time to get out and enjoy the best the season has to offer. From catching a hayride to diving into a pile of crunchy leaves, there are plenty of family activities that can build up a healthy appetite. Some of the tastiest dishes to serve the family at the end of a perfect day feature the warmth and comfort of fall flavors. Few ingredients say fall like apples, and apple butter is an ideal ingredient for incorporating the rich, traditional flavor of apples and cinnamon into your favorite foods. Add an extra special flavor to any recipe with Musselman’s Apple Butter. Since 1928, it has been made the old-fashioned way by long, slow simmering apples in kettles with sugar and spices. This classic Pennsylvania Dutch spread is a versatile ingredient just perfect to enhance your favorite family recipes from breakfast to side dishes and dinner to desserts. While ready-made apple butter is great, the Rim Country can expect a bounty of apples from area trees this year. Find a simple recipe and make some homemade apple butter to use in the following recipes.

APPLE BUTTER ROAST CHICKEN
RECIPE COURTESY OF HEATHER OF SUGARDISHME.COM 1/2 cup Musselman’s Apple Butter 1 teaspoon chili powder 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 1 whole chicken (3-5 pounds) 4 sprigs fresh thyme 3 cloves garlic, peeled 1 to 2 teaspoons kosher salt Heat oven to 375 degrees.

Gently pull skin away from flesh of bird. Scoop a little apple butter mixture in your hand and push it between skin and flesh.

Place chicken breast-side down in prepared pan. Stuff 1 thyme sprig under each wing and remaining thyme and garlic cloves inside bird. Sprinkle outer skin with kosher salt. Bake 20 minutes per pound. Tent with foil after 40 minutes to prevent skin from getting too dark. Let chicken cool/rest for about 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

All about apple butter Apple butter is a highly concentrated form of apple sauce produced by long, slow cooking of apples with cider or water to a point where the sugar in the apples caramelizes, turning the apple butter a deep brown. The concentration of sugar gives apple butter a much longer shelf life as a preserve than apple sauce. The roots of apple butter, according to Wikipedia, lie in Limburg (Belgium and the Netherlands) and Rhineland (Germany), conceived during the Middle Ages, when the first monasteries (with large fruit yards) appeared. The production of the butter was a perfect way to conserve part of the fruit production of the monasteries in that region, at a time when almost every village had its own apple-butter producers. The production of apple butter was also a popular way of using apples in colonial America, well into the 19th century. The product contains no actual dairy butter; the term “butter” refers only to the thick, soft butter-like consistency, and apple butter’s use as a spread for breads. Typically seasoned with cinnamon, clove, and other spices, apple butter is usually spread
on bread, used as a side dish, an ingredient in baked goods, or as a condiment. Apple butter is also used on a sandwich to add an interesting flavor, but is not as commonly used as in historical times.
HOMEMADE APPLE BUTTER Recipe courtesy of Food Network Kitchen Total Time: 3 hours, 30 minutes; prep time: 10 minutes; cooking time: 3 hours, 20 minutes; makes about two cups. 4 pounds assorted apples, peeled and chopped 2 cups apple cider 1 cup packed light brown sugar Kosher salt 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Pinch of ground cloves Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Combine the apples, apple cider, brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large ovenproof pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, partially cover and cook until the apples are soft, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice, cinna-
mon, vanilla and cloves. Puree the mixture in a blender in batches until smooth (or use an immersion blender). Return the mixture to the pot and bake, uncovered, stirring every 30 minutes, until thickened and deep amber, 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 hours (the timing will depend on the kind of apples you use). Remove from the oven and let cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate up to 5 days.

COVER STORY | TERESA MCQUERREY
Rim air filled with music Jazz, TCCA programs resume for fall; fiddlers return as well The temperatures and calendar still say it’s summer, but school’s been back in session for almost a month and fall is calling. To celebrate the season, music is in the air all over the Rim Country. It starts this Friday at the Community Presbyterian Church with a concert of jazz, blues and pop by local vocalist and guitarist Joanie Smith and drummer Gerry Reynolds, both of Strawberry. They join jazz guitarist and vocalist John Darst for First Friday festivities. The concert is from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., Friday, Sept. 4 at the church, which is at 800 W. Main St., Payson. There will be a salad bar for guests to enjoy for a $5 per person donation. For more information, contact gerryreynolds@hotmail.com. The Fall Jazz Series, presented by the Payson Friends of Jazz at the Community Presbyterian Church, 800 W. Main St., Payson, begins with a Friday evening per-
formance this year (the jazz concerts are usually Sunday afternoons) — so as not to conflict with the Arizona Cardinals football game and first program of the 2015-16 Tonto Community Concert Association’s season. The jazz concert is from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., Friday, Sept. 18 and features the Rim Country’s only authentic early-era jazz band, the Fossil Creek Gang performing Dixieland and jazz standards. A $5 donation is requested at the door. The Tonto Community Concert Association’s first program for its 2015-16 season is at 2:30 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 20 and stars Presidio Brass, a five-member ensemble. Since forming in 2006, Presidio Brass has rocketed to success as the face of a bold new generation in brass entertainment. By combining a brass quintet, piano and percussion instruments with fresh, original arrangements, their unique sound has become a trademark for the ensemble from San Diego, Calif., captivating audiences everywhere. To top off the month, the Payson Old Time Opry and the 45th Annual Old Time Fiddler’s Arizona State Championships & Fiddle in the Band Competition is Friday, Sept. 25 through Sunday, Sept. 27.

Variety of music planned FROM PAGE 8
The balance of the Fall Jazz Series at CPC, 800 W. Main St., Payson, includes: • Sunday, Oct. 25, 2 p.m. - ZAZU Gypsy Band returns by popular demand. American jazz was the rage in Europe, especially France, during the earlier 20th century. This five-piece group really swings and replicates the music perfectly, playing with abandon. A $5 donation per person is requested. • Sunday, Nov. 15, 2 p.m. - Jazz guitarist Howard Alden performs. He is one of the greatest guitarists working today. Alden learned his craft under legendary Howard Roberts, and his jaw-dropping fret work has graced everything from Hollywood sound tracks to duets with his mentor, George Van Eps. He will perform in a trio that includes upright bass and drums. A $10 donation per person is requested at the door.
TCCA CONCERTS The Tonto Community Concert Association’s 2015-2016 season is offered through a subscription of $100 per person. A subscription buys admittance to a series of eight diverse concerts starting Sept. 20, 2015 and continuing through to May 1, 2016. If available, the TCCA may offer tickets to individual performances. All performances are presented in the auditorium at Payson High School, 301 S. McLane Road. Subscriptions can be purchased online at tccarim.org or contact TCCA President Eloise Jones at 928-478-4363 or Sandy Lumsden, 928-472-2423. THE BALANCE OF THE 2015-16 TCCA SEASON:
• Kevin Johnson, 7 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 1 – A ventriloquist, Kevin has always been known for his “clean comedy” and is loved and appreciated by audiences of all ages. Nancy Landino, with TCCA, said Johnson is so funny he practically had the audience rolling in the aisles. • The Young Irelanders, 2:30 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 8 – The Young Irelanders is comprised of eight sensational performers who have Irish traditional music, song and dance running through their veins. The artists have toured as lead performers with Riverdance and Michael Flatley’s Lord of the Dance. The sound the band creates is described as eclectic, where traditional Irish music, Celtic music, folk music, world music, jazz music, country music and popular music all come together. • Valinor Quartet, 7 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 14 – Valinor Quartet is a unique hybrid of jazz and classical; classical CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

highlighted by Sergei Teleshev (of Trio Voronezh) on accordion fused with jazz by members of the International String Trio – Ben Powell (violin), Slava Tolstoy (guitar) and Greg Feingold (bass). • Hits & Grins, 7 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 4 – Hits and Grins features three accomplished singer/songwriters performing original songs both serious and comedic, and sharing the stories of how and when they were written. • Ball in the House, 7 p.m., Friday, March 18 – Ball in the House is five guys, five voices, that’s it. This Boston-based group takes a cappella to the next stage, making “music that’ll move ya” with vocal drums/beatbox and vocal bass under their pop harmonies to create a sound that’s hard to believe. • Stringfever, 2:30 p.m., Sunday, April 3 – Stringfever - brothers Giles, Ralph and Neal Broadbent and their cousin, Graham - are four world class musicians playing five and six-stringed electric violins, viola and cello in a truly original show. Stringfever’s unique, acclaimed version of Ravel’ s ‘Bolero’ has all four playing on one cello simultaneously. Then they challenge the audience to play Name That Tune as they race through 20 of the best-loved film themes in one breathless arrangement. Their helter-skelter 007 James Bond medley is an absolute killer. • Savannah Jack, 2:30 p.m., Sunday, May 1 - Exceptional songwriters as well as versatile musicians, band members infuse their individual style to collectively create Savannah Jack’s unique sound. All come from a musical family and have been singing and playing their individual instruments from a very young age. Their musi-
cal influences range from Ronnie Milsap, The Gatlin Brothers, Kenny Rogers, and Restless Heart to The Beatles, Tom Petty, and The Eagles. The band is comprised of Don Gatlin on lead vocals, Jay Darby on bass, and Matt Thomas Schumacher on fiddle and guitar. They are backed by an incredible drummer, and guitar player as well.
MUSIC FESTIVAL The annual fiddle festival in Payson opens with the popular Payson Old Time Opry program at the Payson High School Auditorium. This year the show features Grand Ole Opry performers The Quebe Sisters. According to the act’s website, when the Quebe Sisters from Texas take a stage, and the triple-threat fiddle champions start playing and singing in multi-part close harmony, audiences are usually transfixed, then blown away. It’s partly because the trio’s vocal and instrumental performances are authentic all-Americana, all the time, respectful of the artists who inspired them the most. Growing up in Burleson, a southern suburb of Fort Worth, Hulda, Sophia and Grace were ages 7, 10 and 12 in 1998 when they attended their first local fiddle competition in nearby Denton, and decided fiddling was what they wanted to do. The girls earned solo and group accolades early on, winning state and national championships in their respective age groups in 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002. Along with headlining their own shows to ever-growing audiences, they’ve shared stages with American music legends like Willie Nelson, George Strait, Merle Haggard, Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky
Thunder, Ray Price, Connie Smith, Marty Stuart, Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin Brothers, Ray Benson and Asleep at the Wheel, Riders in the Sky and many others. Today, after more than a decade of traveling the U.S. and the world, and recording three acclaimed albums, Grace, Sophia and Hulda Quebe are pros in a variety of genres, and count many famous musicians among their biggest boosters. The Quebes’ unbridled passion for American music, along with their talent, skills and a lot of hard work, have taken them far beyond their wildest early aspirations. Admittance to the concert is $8 per person, which can be purchased through the town or at the door, which opens at 5:30 p.m., Friday, Sept. 25, with the concert at 6:30 p.m. Several other performers, including Western Bred, Brush Arbor Revival and Generation Band, will also entertain at the concert. The fiddle festival competition is all day Saturday, Sept. 26 at the Payson Event Center and features fiddlers of all ages from throughout the state. Admission is $5 for adults, with those 10 and younger at no charge. A dinner concert, with pulled pork sandwiches and all the fixings, is at 5 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 26 and features Cisco and the Race Cars. Admission is $10 per person. The fiddle championships are on Sunday, Sept. 27 at the Payson Event Center, with the same admission as on Saturday. For additional information, call the parks office at 928-474-5242, extension 7.

Once again, because God stands as a commander over the angels to bow the knee to worship Christ, part of the Trinity, then who dare refute Him? QUESTION AND VALID ANSWER Let’s continue our line of questions… Question: Aren’t all religions basically the same? Different religions have different views of God and what happens when we die. Answer: Jesus already clarified that HE is the only way to salvation. If you are looking for, seeking for salvation, He is the ONLY way. If you are desiring to live a life for eternity with Christ. HE is the ONLY way. If
you desire to spend your life worshiping Christ in His holiness forever, He is the ONLY way… There is ONLY one way that leads to life and that is the way of grace – Jesus, 100 percent grace from a loving God, so when our wrong doings outweigh us and deem us as guilty, God ranks over it with supreme grace. As my pastor husband says, “When our sin is super, God’s grace is super duper abundant and when our sin is super duper, God’s grace is super duper duper abundant.” Get the equation? Our wrongs, guilts, shortcomings and sins will NEVER EVER EVER out rank the glorious, abundant loving grace of our heavenly Father through our Savior Christ and His precious blood that He willingly shed. NO other religion offers 100 percent grace, No other one. Instead all other religions is
based on works deeds of humans that we can never measure up… in other words working to attain something we can never have for eternity. YOUR TURN: What are your questions?

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Cupid is strong in the Aries aspect this week, with the cherub opening romantic possibilities for single Lambs, and strengthening ties ‘twixt loving pairs already in a caring relationship. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your dramatic flair might make things more interesting as you recount an event to your colleagues. But be careful not to exaggerate reality to the point that facts and fancy combine to form fiction. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You love to talk, and this week you should get lots of chances to share your thoughts with people who will not only pay attention to what you have to say, but will want to hear more. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The pattern of recent changes could begin to shift from mostly workplace-related events to more personal matters. Continue to keep an open mind as you prepare to deal with them. LEO (July 23 to August 22) An opportunity for work-related travel could be just what the Terrific Tabby needs to get a new perspective on a balky situation. The trip also could prove to be personally rewarding. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You might want to suggest resolving an old disagreement before it can affect a matter expected to come up for discussion. It’s always best to start with a clean slate. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) The week favors combining dollops of creativity and practicality to work out both professional and personal problems. A longtime friend could have something of note to suggest. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Some surprising facts could come to light if you decide to probe deeper into an “opportunity” than you might usually do. What you’ll learn could determine what you’ll earn. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Someone close to you might seek your counsel. Hear him/her out, but hold the line at giving actual advice until you get credible answers to all your questions. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) What seems to be an overwhelming workplace project can be dealt with quite well if you handle one category at a time. Things will soon begin to fall into place. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A personal matter might need more of your time than you had expected. Try to prioritize between your many outside commitments and your domestic responsibilities. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A developing situation still needs more time to grow, and more time to study before you can plunge in and make some attention-getting waves. Patience is best for wise Pisceans. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gift for organization that would make you a fine archivist. (Are you listening out there, Library of Congress?)
