THIS WEEK’S REVIEW
Good go
Welcome to The Rim Review for the first week of September. September! Wow! Where has this year gone? Every September for 57 years, the bounty and industriousness of the Rim Country and its residents has been celebrated at the Northern Gila County Fair. That celebration is taking place for the 58th year this week, Thursday, Sept. 6 through
2
CELEBRATE FIRST FRIDAY
Sunday, Sept. 9 at the Payson Event Center. Admission to the fair on Friday and Saturday is just $1, so get out and see what your neighbors have to offer. If you want to beat the promised rising prices at the grocery store for meat, you might want to register to be a buyer for the fair’s annual livestock auction. About 25 animals raised by FFA and 4H members are going to be up for bid.
Elsewhere in this week’s edition you will find recipes to create speedy suppers for these fast-moving September days. Tim Ehrhardt’s history column is about the Payson Commercial Trust Building. Ken Brooks writes about luxury travel. And Simone Lake’s Firm Foundation column celebrates angels. The movie “Total Recall” is reviewed by both Andy McKinney and Katie Schouten.

TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS
LUXURY TRAVEL Often today, it is sometimes difficult to tell the difference between premium, upper premium, luxury and ultra luxury when it comes to cruise ships and hotels and resorts. As a member of the AAA Auto Club I use their touring books to differentiate between three, four and five star hotels. And, even then it may be a bit tough to tell the difference between four and five star properties. In the end it is often subjective. Cruise ships are sometimes difficult to judge whether they are contemporary, premium or even luxury. Walking through most ships today would give you the feeling they are luxury with beautiful public rooms and very nice staterooms. The exception may be CarKEN BROOKS nival Cruise Lines with their “in your face” Vegas type interiors. Often, the more subdued interiors are the more deluxe cruise lines. The same can be said for hotels and resorts. The difference between the classifications regarding ships is how much is included in the fare. Is some of the dining an extra charge or are the various restaurants aboard ship included in the fare you pay? As a general rule, contemporary and premium cruise lines will charge extra for their more upscale dining rooms aboard ship. These cruise lines would include Carnival, Royal Caribbean, NCL, Celebrity, Holland America and Princess cruises. The cruise lines that usually do not charge extra for dining in restaurants other than the main dining room would include Oceania, Azamara Club, Paul Gauguin, Regent Seven Seas, SeaDream Yacht Club, Windstar, Crystal, Seabourn and Silversea cruises. One of the exceptions is Cunard Line with its Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth. These ships claim to be deluxe, however they have separate dining rooms for patrons in various stateroom categories – the more deluxe the room or suite, the more deluxe the dining room. Disney Cruise Lines is another Line that is difficult to categorize. Although I have not yet cruised on one of their four ships I would imagine that for adults the experience would be in the premium class. We will be taking the family on a Disney cruise this fall. Afterward I should have a better handle on the experience. Hotels are a little different. Most hotels charge extra for meals regardless of the dining rooms chosen. The exception would be the all-inclusive properties where usually everything is included: your room, dining, liquor etc. The only extras in these would be spa treatments, golf etc. Some cruise lines today are mixing premium categories with upper end facilities. MSC cruises have what they call Yacht Club decks on three of their latest ships. On these decks you have a separate class.

As a general rule, contemporary and premium cruise lines such as Holland America will charge extra for their more upscale dining rooms aboard ship. Other examples would include Carnival, Royal Caribbean, NCL, Celebrity and Princess cruises.
They give you suites, special dining rooms, separate swimming pools and lounges. You never have to mingle with the standard class if you do not wish to. You also have a butler at your call. NCL has this same separate deluxe class on a couple of their ships. Travel agents report that most of their wealthy clients prefer the all-deluxe class ships, which are also much smaller than the contemporary, premium and upmarket vessels. These smaller ships usually provide better service and can dock at less crowded ports than the large ships. The cuisine is usually better in the very deluxe ships and the liquor brands are often the best available. The entertainment in the very upmarket ships is usually in the more classical and jazz variety rather than the big productions presented in the larger ships. With hotels and resorts the line between standard and deluxe is often blurred. I sometimes find it hard to separate one from the other. It usually boils down to services offered and the cuisine as well as the size and appointments in the rooms. What standard are the sheets and towels? Are bathrobes hanging in your closet? Is there an extra charge for dining in your room? Is tipping included or must you tip separately? Location is also important and that varies.
If it is an entire family traveling together on a cruise ship, probably the best pick would be the contemporary or premium class ships. These would usually have scheduled activities for young people during the day and often at night. Some cruise lines also provide babysitting services. The “sitters” are usually off-duty staff and crew. There is an extra charge for this service. And, talking about cruising, this is probably a good time to do so. Many of the lines have reduced fares because of higher airfares. This is particularly true of cruises in the Mediterranean and Baltic. Right now, the ship fare can be less expensive than the airfare. Probably airfares will come down in order to fill flights, but this has not happened yet. You can pay as much as $1,600 for a round-trip flight to Europe and get a nice stateroom on a seven-day cruise in the Mediterranean for from $500 to $1,200. Shop around and you will see what I am talking about. In another class by themselves are the sailing ships such as Windstar Cruises and Clipper Cruises. These ships are real sailing ships and offer a different cruise experience. Fares for these vary with room size, location and cruise line. When it comes to selecting hotels in different locations that I am not familiar with I often choose a brand I have used in the
past. These brands may be Hilton, Sheraton, Marriott and others that impose standards on the various properties that operate under their names. Now, let’s discuss tour companies. Sometimes these are more difficult to categorize. Areas to look into are: are the coaches modern with comforts such as facilities? What is the category of hotels used? Often the best tour operators can only use the best available hotels. Are the meals all included or are only a few? Are the menus a la carte or are tour members given a separate menu that is not the same as the menus given other travelers in the dining rooms. How much sightseeing is included and is some extra charged? Is there a tour manager assigned to your tour and do they pick up local guides in each country or is there simply a local tour guide in each location? All of these features are important to your pleasure and enjoyment and trouble free touring. And, I always suggest purchasing travel insurance for tours, cruises, flights etc. We do. Important to your welfare is using the services of an informed travel agent who is familiar with the cruise lines, hotels, resorts and tour companies. Their knowledge can save you a lot of headaches and disappointment. Happy travel!

IN THE KITCHEN | FAMILY FEATURES
Speedy suppers Don’t think you have time to make a delicious meal for your busy family? Think again; with these handy tips and easy recipes - which call for just four ingredients you can get a satisfying supper on the table in no time. Make it even easier by including Minute® Steamers into your family’s favorite meals, for wholesome, hearty, time-saving dishes everyone will love. Use these tips to make meal prep easier during busy nights: Stock Up - Always keep some basic ingredients on hand to make last-minute cooking a lot easier. • Frozen vegetables - Can be served as a side or added to soups and rice dishes. • Broth - Beef, chicken and vegetable broths can be used to make soups and sauces, and to add flavor when cooking vegetables and rice. • Add-ins - Nuts, sesame seeds, parsley, dried fruit and cheese can be added to main dishes, sides and salads to make them even more flavorful and nutritious. Time Savers - Take advantage of grocery items that do some of the work for you. • Frozen rice - For a tasty side or a starter for a full meal, try Minute® Steamers - exceptional-quality, flavorful rice that heats in the microwave in a self-ventilating steamable bag. It only takes four minutes to have one of six varieties on your dinner table. • Pre-cut vegetables - Save some prep time by using precut vegetables. Give them a quick wash and they’re ready to use. • Pre-seasoned ingredients - Look for canned, diced tomatoes with garlic and onions, cheese made with jalapeño, or marinated chicken or pork cuts. These are all ways to add flavor without adding time. Plan Ahead - If you have more time on the weekend, you can do some prep work to cut down on your weeknight cooking time. • Prep ingredients - Chop vegetables and shred cheese, and keep them in storage containers or resealable bags in the fridge. You can also brown ground beef and cut any meats into recipe-ready pieces. • Herb cubes - Put a tablespoon of chopped herbs in each well of an ice cube tray. Fill with either water or olive oil, then freeze. Once frozen, pop them out and store in a freezer bag - you’ll have fresh herb flavor in a flash. • Cook once, eat twice - Double up on a recipe, then freeze one half for later. Or, plan a second meal around leftovers. For example, use Monday night’s taco meat for Tuesday night’s taco salad.

RIM HISTORY RIM HISTORY RIM COUNTRY HISTORY | TIM EHRHARDT
Payson Commercial Trust Building name and address on another slip of paper, along with the amount of his earnings, and left it with the secretary. The understanding was that he would receive a check covering his earnings if the money was intact after the building cooled down and the vault could be opened. The comment of these ranch people was ‘Send it if the money is there but if it is ruined, forget it.’ The ropers were ranch owners or ranch hands and were just great to understand the situation. Not one problem arose from the ‘lack of funds’ and the dance went on as usual.” Sure enough, the safe survived and the rodeo folks were able to get their money. This newspaper clip tells the story.
“Papers In Safe Found Intact “PAYSON, Aug. 31 - The vault and safe of the old Payson Commercial and Trust Company, which survived the recent destruction of the Chilson store by the fire, was opened yesterday and all papers were found intact. “William Haley, justice of the peace, and R.D. Jackson, deputy sheriff, supervised the opening of the vault. “Harrison Chilson, brother of James Chilson, proprietor of the store, is here to assist in clearing away the debris. The owner is reported to have decided to rebuild and restock his store this fall. “Residents are still marveling that the fire did not spread during the series of explosions that occurred at the time. One of these sent a great ball of fire and smoke
into the air, which threatened several dwellings as it drifted away.” - September 1, 1938 Arizona Republic In 1958 the building was removed. According to March 7, 1958 Payson Roundup article by Mrs. W.D. Boardman (daughterin-law of J.W. Boardman), “Fred Q. Joy has purchased the rock and is having it moved to a new location. Calvin Peace is wrecking the building. Harden Ezell, grandson of the man who quarried the rock, is now setting it in its new location.” Deming Pioneer Park, named for Jim and Anna Mae Deming, sits at that location now and was dedicated in April of 2004.

COVER STORY | MICHELE NELSON

Goats in the classroom are not a unique sight at the Payson High School agricultural sciences program. Some members of the class even board their animals at the school’s ag building. But most will be vacating the premises this week as they are shown and auctioned at the Northern Gila County Fair.
Livestock lessons Cattle, goats, pigs teach youth about life, business Colton Jackson’s Angus steer, Mater, likes to kick him. “They’re a lot of fun, but you start hating them, when they kick you,” he said. Jackson and six other students from Jadee Rohner’s agricultural science classes sat in a semicircle outside a 4H community meeting to dish about their animal projects. The students participate in the FFA (formerly known as Future Farmers of America) and 4H market animal programs. By raising an animal, such as Jackson’s steer, the
students learn the art of animal husbandry. Keeping all receipts for purchases of feed, cleaning supplies, and veterinary bills, then auctioning off their animal at the county fair, the students learn how to raise market stock for food. But animals can’t help but show their personalities. “My goat is not smart,” said Rockell Schmidt. “My goat is loud – she screams,” said Briana Aguirre, “My mom makes me go out and read (to it). She sits on my lap while I’m in my lawn chair.” Some of the students, like Aguirre, live in areas zoned for livestock, while others raised their animals in the new high school agricultural building. On any given day, visitors to Rohner’s corner of Payson High School may see Schmidt and fellow classmates’ goats and Amy Korth’s gentle giant of an Angus steer, Paco. “I can lead him through a classroom,” said Korth. But that can be fraught with danger. One day, Paco decided he needed to relieve himself. All Korth could do was wait, then pull out the mop and bucket to clean up the mess. Raising stock is a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week commitment. The time commitment - hours of feeding, cleaning and show presentation ultimately take their toll. Korth loves her bull, but created a count down clock on her phone. At the time of the interview, it showed 32
days, 18 hours, 22 minutes, and the seconds kept rolling. “All this money goes into him, and he’s pooping in my backyard,” said Jackson of his steer. In the end, the process teaches the students it is a business. They keep all receipts and a log on their animal. Korth, “It’s hard to keep all the receipts.” Schmidt, “You have to buy leashes and bowls.” “You have to (account for) gifts,” said Jackson, “My vet does things for free because it’s FFA, then I have to guess at the price.” Raising an animal requires a group effort. The students attend outside meetings and learn information from local experts in ranching. In order to gain credit, they must attend 75 percent of the FFA and 4H meetings, besides classes with Rohner. The process of raising their animal teaches students the connectedness of everything, such as how a drought affects feed prices. “This year, the drought affected feed prices,” said Jackson, “It went from 22 cents a pound to 26.” Korth and Jackson noticed a few hundred dollars difference in how much it cost to raise an animal last year compared to this one. They hope to regain their out-ofpocket expenses during the Northern Gila County Fair this Thursday through Saturday, Sept. 7 – 9. CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

FAIR FAREWELL FROM PAGE 8
The students will pack up their animals, brushes, leashes, and log books to show off their animals in the ring and then auction them off to a buyer. The fair will take up much of their time. The students will sleep with their animals, wash them, clip and shave them, and preen them for presentation. Already the kids have consulted with judges to find out what pleases. “When my goat stops walking, I have to make sure I move her feet apart because she presses them close together,” said Schmidt. The judges also make the students understand the best weight for their animals, too much and they look out of balance, too little and they look emaciated. The junior ranchers must also groom their animals. “Some judges like a more natural look, some want more shaving,” said Aguirre. “Some get split ends,” said Caleb Burket who raises a pig named Big Mama. He uses baby oil to make her skin and coat shine. Rohner had the students attend a showmanship clinic to figure out how best to present their animals, but the preparation for showing them in the ring started months before. “You have to have them trust you by working with them and taking care of them,” said Burket. Already the students have sent out letters to people they believe will want to purchase their animals at auction. At the fair, the students host a pre-auction Buyers Dinner to meet potential bidders and answer any questions about their animal. The whole process is bittersweet for the kids. They appreciate the uniqueness of their animals, but like any parent, they are ready for their ward to move on. “They’re like two-year-olds, but weigh 1,200 pounds,” said Jackson.

Wednesday is deadline for fair entries BY TERESA MCQUERREY RIM REVIEW EDITOR
There has been a “county” fair in Northern Gila County for more than half a century. The 58th Annual Northern Gila County Fair is Thursday, Sept. 6 through Sunday, Sept. 9. Entries are to be submitted today, Wednesday, Sept. 5, between 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. The entries will be judged Thursday, Sept. 6. Fair books with information on entries are at the libraries in Payson and Pine, the Payson Parks & Recreation office in Green Valley Park, and at the Rim Country Regional Chamber of Commerce. Livestock entries from members of 4H and FFA were pre-registered by Aug. 25. Many of these will be auctioned starting at 6 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 8. Organizers expect 25 animals to be up for auction, including pigs, lambs, goats and steers. All are locally raised. To participate in the auction, register as a buyer starting at 4 p.m. Registered buyers will receive a free ticket to the Buyers Dinner. Open livestock entries had to be preregistered by Saturday, Sept. 1 and small animal entries were due Tuesday, Sept. 4.
Entries can be made in a mind-boggling number of categories in addition to the livestock and small animals. There is no fee to enter, but all entries must include the required information on official forms, which are the fair book. One of the biggest in past years has been the photography competition. First year superintendent Harold Rush encourages every photographer in Rim Country to give entering the fair a try this year. Returning as judge is the photo editor for Arizona Highways, Jeff Kida. While photographers can submit up to 10 pictures, they can also enter just a single photo. Every photo needs to be on a mat board though (Rush asked that no foam board be used) and can be no smaller than 5x7 or larger than 11x17. The category has divisions for juniors, 17 and younger; seniors, 75 and older; and those from 18 to 74. Both color and black and white photos will be accepted. Assistance will be provided by Rush and helpers in making sure the work is in the right categories: nature; the man-made world; the human condition; and a different way of seeing things. The best guidelines can be found in the fair book, Rush said.
Those with a green thumb can enter the agriculture and horticulture department or the floriculture department. There are departments for homemaking arts, which is primarily sewing projects; domestic arts, which is baking and candy and dried or smoked foods; and canning is its own department. Entries can also be made in hobbies and handcrafts, minerals and lapidary and fine arts. Students’ work will be displayed in the school exhibits department and the department for 4H members. With judging taking place in the exhibition tents at the Payson Event Center Thursday, the only part of the fair with public access Sept. 6 will be the arena, which opens at 5 p.m. for FFA barrel and pole racing, along with goat tying competitions. No entry fee will be charged for this event. New this year, the Northern Gila County Fair will have a craft fair and farmers market for the first time this year. There is room for 10 to 15 booths, the space rents for $25 and participants need to bring their own table(s) and seating and any shade they desire. The craft fair and market is limited to handmade or repurposed items and homemade
food. All county and state requirements for handling food must be met by those vendors planning to sell food. The craft fair and farmers market will be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday, Sept. 7 and Saturday, Sept. 8 and from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 9. To make arrangements to participate call Marsha Fitzhugh at (602) 291-2152. Also new this year is a series of demonstrations throughout the fair. Friday’s demonstrators are Emma VanZile, giving a 4H demonstration at 1:45 p.m.; Connie Cockrell giving a 4H hands-on activity - making ice cream - at 2 p.m. and 3 p.m.; and Harold Rush, talking about what makes prize-winning photos at 4 p.m.; the 5 p.m. demonstration is to be announced. Saturday will feature Holly Crump at 10 a.m., demonstrating how to make a miniature garden; Connie Cockrell at 11 a.m. and noon with a 4H hands-on project - making silly slime; Harold Rush will present his photography program at 1 p.m.; Laurette Shiya will have a hands-on children’s craft project at 2 p.m.; Rebecca Acord of Wonders of the Wild Wildlife Sanctuary will have a program at 4 p.m. CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

RIM REVIEW • SEPTEMBER 5, 2012
FIRM FOUNDATION | SIMONE LAKE
APPLAUSE TO ANGELS
A guardian angel is a term with which most of us are familiar. Some may even have a vivid recollection of the 1900s century German color picture of a little girl and a little boy crossing a bridge. Simone Lake Right behind them is a huge angel dressed in radiant white clothing standing guard. Unbeknownst to them, that celestial larger-than-life being, safeguards the children as they cross the bridge. When people nearly escape any type of harm, tragic disaster or accident, it is often said, “Your guardian angel was watching over you.” As I minister in medical facilities, churches and throughout various communities I am often heard saying and praying, “I pray God’s Angels to mount guard around you to protect and keep you during this situation.” When studying Angels, it is easily discovered that they are not only our protectors, but they are also known as defenders and guards. Most often when it comes to angels, safeguarding humans, as valuable as it is, is the only duty that comes to mind and nothing more. Overlooked in the vast variety of job tasks, these celestial beings in the Bible often get short-changed when it comes to “what” they exactly do. The angelical beings of the Bible had/have so many great tasks and responsibilities that the details of what they did and still do often gets completely forgotten. Most humans have just a basic knowledge in the all-encompassing deeds accomplished by them. In this article, not only are we going
to dare to peek at all they do, we are also going to applaud the hidden things that are so easily forgotten. The word applause means to cheer, encourage, and have an ovation and to give recognition to with great appreciate. Regardless of the words we use to describe the work of the angels, the overall reigning theme is that they were obedient to their master God and His son (also God) Jesus Christ. The bottom line is that angels assist the Lord in doing His will according to His sovereignty. Biblical angels are known for delivering people out of jail (Acts 5:19); guarding over us (Luke 4:9-12); and rejoicing when sinners repent (Luke 15:10). However, the highest call and purpose angels had was in ministering to Christ himself when He walked the earth. The most important jobs of an angel were to faithfully serve Christ when he walked the earth as well as surround his throne with praise. Some of the many deeds toward Christ include: The angels give Jesus nourishment after fasting for 40 days “The Spirit immediately drove Jesus out into the wilderness. And he was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. And he was with the wild animals, and the angels were ministering to him.” Mark 1:12-13. The angels were ready at Jesus disposal to fight if He called on them “Then Jesus said to him, ‘Put your sword back into its place. For all who take the sword will perish by the sword. Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels? But how then should the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must be so?’ ” - Matthew 26:52 The angels dwell in glory with the Holy Father and Jesus Savior of the world
“For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” - Mark 8:38 “And he said to him, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.’” - John 1:51 “Through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers having been subjected to him.” - 1 Peter 3:21–22 It is well documented the honor and glory the angels gave and will continue to give in representing Christ. Can you see the purpose of applauding their work? We applaud them in appreciate for a job well done in serving, relentlessly and tirelessly a Holy Savior and Lord. No wonder Isaiah declares the current an ongoing deed of the angels. “And one called out to another and said, “Holy, Holy, Holy, is the LORD of hosts, the whole earth is full of His glory.” Isaiah 6:3
WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM ANGELS?
a) They were in complete alliance, allegiance and obedience to Christ. Does your life follow this example? b) Their first and foremost agenda is to put God first. Do you? c) Whatever the angels saw Christ do, they echoed his mind frame. Will you? © Copyright 2012 Simone Lake. All Rights Reserved. UPCOMING EVENTS

Rim Country fair offers something for everyone FROM PAGE 9
There will also be a demonstration at 5 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 8, but the topic had not been selected as of press time. Sunday, Sept. 9 Rush will do another photography program at noon and at 1 p.m. and 2 p.m., Cockrell will have a 4H hands-on activity, making slime (different from the silly slime program on Saturday). Cockrell said there are enough materials for 75 youngsters to participate in her hands-on activities each day and she will also have printed information to take home. Other special attractions will be a dog demonstration by the 4H Dog Club at 8:30 a.m., Friday, Sept. 7 and an archery demonstration and competition at 10 a.m., Friday, between the 4H Rim Country Deadshots and a 4H archery group from Globe The entire fair is open to the public
from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., both Friday, Sept. 7 and Saturday, Sept. 8; the hours for Sunday, Sept 9 are 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., with the popular Demolition Derby starting at noon. Admission to the fair on Friday and Saturday is $1 per person; admission on Sunday, which includes the Demolition Derby, is $12 for adults, $6 for those 3 to 11, with those under 3 admitted free of charge. The Great Northern Carnival will also be operating during the fair. It will be set up on the east side of the parking lot at the Payson Event Center. CALLING ALL ARTISTS TO THE FAIR
Shannon Bielke, superintendent for fine arts at the Northern Gila County Fair, asks more Rim Country artists to enter work in the 2012 festivities. “We have lots of paintings, but I would like to see more media represented,” she said.
Bielke hopes there will be many more fiber arts entered. She said there are always lots of quilts, but it would be wonderful to also have tapestry and batik pieces, plus any mixed media fiber arts and work made using different techniques. She is encouraging sculptors; potters; and ceramics artists to consider entering work in the fair as well. Bielke said most of the art young people enter is with the school exhibits, but she is urging them to also participate as individuals in the fine arts department. In the past the children of only a couple of different families have made entries in her department, so there is plenty of room for others. “It would be lots of fun – delightful – to have a variety of entries in fine arts this year,” she said. Get a fair book at one of the public libraries, the chamber or the parks office
and see how many different categories the fine arts department covers. There are divisions for youths, juniors, amateurs, professionals and seniors. While Bielke wants to encourage artists of all ages and skill levels to participate in the Northern Gila County Fair, she cautions that entries must be submitted that meet the display requirements. “I don’t want to be mean about it – and in the past some people have thought that – but the entries have to be submitted in a way that they can safely be displayed. That means no tape and string or saw tooth hangers. Those things won’t hold a work in place,” she said. The deadline to enter work in the fine arts department – and all non-livestock/small animal departments – is between 1 p.m. and 6 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 5. Bielke said there could be no exceptions.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your ideas earn you the respect of your colleagues. But you’ll have to present some hard facts and figures if you hope to persuade those who make the big decisions to support you. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Keep those bright Bull’s eyes focused on the project at hand. Avoid distractions. There’ll be lots of time for fun and games later. Expect to get welcome news this weekend. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You soon might have to decide about moving a relationship from its current status to another level. Don’t let anyone influence your decision. It must be yours and yours alone. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You finally can get off that emotional roller coaster and get back to focusing on your goals without interruptions through the rest of the week. A nice change is due by the weekend. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Trying to make an impression on some people runs into a bit of a snag at first, but it all works out. An old and almost forgotten personal matter once again needs attention. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) A rise in your energy level helps you finish an especially demanding task. Take some time now to spend with family and friends before starting a new project. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a good time to re-establish contact with trusted former associates who might be able to offer good advice regarding that career change you’ve been contemplating. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Your resourcefulness combined with a calm, cool approach help you work your way out of a knotty situation and avoid a potentially serious misunderstanding. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) A calm, quiet period allows you to recharge your energies. But you’ll soon be ready to saddle up and gallop off in pursuit of your goals. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Family matters need your attention. Check things out carefully. There still might be unresolved tensions that could hinder your efforts to repair damaged relationships. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) It’s a good time to take a stand and show as much passion on your own behalf as you do when arguing for the rights of others. You might be happily surprised by the reaction. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You bring sense and sensitivity to a confusing situation. Things soon settle down, leaving you free to enjoy a weekend of fun and relaxation with friends and family. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a talent for being able to perceive possibilities where others see only problems. © 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH
Slowing macular degeneration BY PAUL G. DONOHUE, M.D. NORTH AMERICA SYND., INC.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am an 82-year-old woman. My body cannot tolerate antibiotics, vitamins or painkillers. I am told I have macular degeneration and was advised to take Ocuvite once a day. My sister suggested I write to you to see if you have an idea of how to take Ocuvite in some other manner or some other way to get the ingredients in it. Help. — L.M. ANSWER: In 2001, the results of the first AREDS report (Age-Related Eye Disease Study) was published. It showed that the combination of beta carotene (a form of vitamin A), vitamin E, vitamin C, zinc and copper could slow the progression of moderate macular degeneration to severe macular degeneration. Macular degeneration is a wasting away of the macula — a small, round area of the retina necessary for clear central vision, the kind needed to read, sew and drive. Ocuvite is one capsule that incorporates all these nutrients. Currently a new study, AREDS 2, is being conducted. The vitamin-mineral combination has been altered a bit and new ingredients have been added: lutein, zeaxanthin and omega-3 fatty acids. Some Ocuvite pills also contain these materials. Since you’re unable to tolerate vitamins, you’ll need to get these nutrients from foods. You might not be able to reach the high levels found in pills, but you’d be getting all the ingredients in those pills. Beta carotene is found in colored vegetables like carrots and peppers, in dark-green vegetables and in colored fruits. Vitamin E is widely available in many foods: meats, nuts, cereal grains, wheat-germ oil and sunflower oil. You find vitamin C in citrus fruits, tomatoes, potatoes and broccoli. Zinc is in meats, shellfish, nuts and legumes, like peas. Copper is in shellfish, nuts and organ meats. The new version of AREDS, not yet published, contains lutein and zeaxanthin, which you can obtain in kale, spinach, collard greens, corn, green beans, carrots, squash and tomatoes. Omega-3 fatty acids are found in fish like salmon and tuna. The booklet on macular degeneration explains this common malady and its treatment.

He has said nothing about food or drink as being a cause of this. I drink two cups of coffee a day. I can’t tell any difference on the days I drink it or on the days I don’t. What’s the thinking on this? — P.M. ANSWER: Moderate amounts of caffeine have little effect on the heart. Two to four cups of coffee a day shouldn’t affect your heartbeat. However, if a person is quite sensitive to caffeine, then that person should abstain from coffee. There appears not to be any relationship between coffee drinking and artery hardening, artery obstruction or heart pumping. Heart attacks and strokes are no more frequent in coffee drinkers than in those who never touch it. © 2012 North America Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved
