Makiah Taylor and Churro will be part of the 2016 Northern Gila County Fair, Friday, Sept. 9 through Sunday, Sept. 11 at the Payson Event Center. Taylor has shown steers at past fairs, but this is the first that has come from her family’s herd of Black Brangus cattle on their Greenback Valley Ranch, where the Conways — the maternal side of Makiah’s family has been working the land for seven generations.

Home-grown steer is first from family herd in fair BY KATY TAYLOR

SPECIAL TO THE RIM REVIEW

As Makiah Taylor was helping on her family ranch in the mountains above Tonto Basin she saw the perfect steer and had her next show steer picked out just like that. Makiah is the seventh generation rancher at Greenback Valley Ranch, located in the Sierra Anchas Mountain range. Her family was among the first in the Tonto Basin area. It settled with the Apache Indians and raised hogs. Her great-great-great-great-grandfather David Hare was friends with the Indians and they thought he was a medicine man when he first arrived. He was well known as were his daughters. It didn’t take long for them to get married and eventually turn the hog ranch into a

cattle ranch, which is still going today. The 7-Lazy-H brand, which is on her steer today, is Makiah’s grandfather Bill Conway’s brand and he was very excited she chose a steer from his ranch. The family runs about 150 head of cattle and the whole family is involved. This is Makiah’s fourth steer project, but the first one that she was able to find off the ranch that had show potential. The Conways raise mostly Black Brangus cattle, but a few have the red color that makes Makiah’s steer Churro so distinctive. Churro was raised at the ranch, but in January of this year was brought to his new home in Tonto Basin where Makiah lives with her parents Justin and Katy, sister Mayzee and brother Kelten. That is usually when most kids

get a steer so they can start taming and leading it. “He was always a calm calf as we watched him grow on the ranch; you could drive up to him on the Ranger and he would just stand around and look at you, all the other calves would run off,” Makiah said. Churro, for as calm as he was on the ranch, “He was not that easy to catch, but once you got him caught he would walk around for you with no problems,” Makiah said. “He is still hard to catch to this day,” she added. Churro stands as tall as her and is a gorgeous red that really shines in the light. He stays right next to his new buddies that arrived in May — Makiah’s little brother Kelten’s pigs that he will

also be showing at the Northern Gila County Fair. At the pre-fair event earlier this summer, the family’s fair animals were fitted with tags and also their weights were checked. Churro came in at a little over 1,300 pounds, which for a show steer is a little on the heavier side. “He has always been bigger than my other steers, but it has been nice not to have to worry about making them gain weight like we have had to do in years past,” said Makiah. Meet Makiah and Churro at the Northern Gila County Fair at the Payson Event Center between Sept. 9 and 11. She will show her steer in the showmanship and market class on Friday at 1:30 p.m. in the livestock tent. Makiah will CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

GILA COUNTY PIONEERS HOST DINNER, DANCE BY MAX FOSTER SPECIAL TO THE RIM REVIEW

Just 10 years ago, following my retirement from teaching and during my full-time work at the Payson Roundup, I was asked to write stores about 11 men, most former standout athletes at Payson High, who had joined forces to do what the disbanded Cowbelles once did each year — honor Rim Country pioneers at a barbecue dinner, dance and auction. In covering those stories, I gained huge respect for the group — Roy Haught, Tony McDaniel, Ronnie McDaniel, Will Davis, Billy Hardt, Albert Hunt, Tim Hughes, Lonnie Cline, Brian Jennings, Duke Wilbanks and Teddy Tomerlin — because without fanfare or much credit they were determined to keep an irreplaceable piece of Rim Country history alive for younger generations to enjoy. This year’s 10th annual celebration will be held 3 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 24 in the Tonto Apache Gym. Raffle items will include a whole beef and a whole pig cut and wrapped. There will also be gun and pie auctions, quilts and much more, organizers promise. The organizing committee has, since its inception, had a goal of making the events much like the socials held around the Rim Country decades ago. “Like we used to go to as kids,” Ronnie McDaniel once said. “We all remember those very well — they are some of our best memories.” For 23 years, the Tonto Cowbelles hosted the events of honoring old-timers at annual dances and dinners. But, the Cowbelles disbanded in 2000. For the upcoming social, musicians will play for the dance a mix of country western tunes and waltzes. Haught, who is widely regarded as one of the two finest cowboy cooks in the Rim Country, traditionally prepares the barbecue dinner. Side dishes usually include cowboy beans, coleslaw and rolls. Tickets, which are only $10 per person, are available at the door.

FIRM FOUNDATIONS

Calm in your storm Are you surviving the RELIEF FROM YOUR STORM Whatever storm are you storms? I don’t mean the wonderful natural monsoon going through; Jesus is the that has recently and literally Prince of peace. He calms poured down on us, soaking our storms. That is His specialty. In parched town with desperately the midst of your anxiousness needed rain. Instead, I mean and anxiety, His ear is not too metaphorically — the storms heavy to listen to you and His of life. The kind of storm that arm is not too short to reach pours down and presses upon out to you.

NIGHT WORRIES

What kinds of worries keep you up at night? Bills, work, family concerns, relationships with others? Maybe memories of PTSD in a disaster, like so many plaguing our nation today. Sometimes the storms are bad decisions we have made or terrifying consequences of someone else’s decisions that we are affected by. Perhaps the haunting of past memories, grief for loved ones long passed or the exhaustion of taking care of loved ones and trying to keep your head above water with runaway calendars, loneliness, stress ... and trials of additional burdens that seem never-ending. Some of you may be reading this and thinking my life is at peace right now, I don’t have any of these concerns. Well, its been said, if you are not in a storm, you are resting up because there is a storm coming soon ... Such is life. STORM STOPPER

You have heard of the storm chasers, those so fascinated by all types of weather that they put themselves in seemingly dangerous situations chasing after storms and disasters. Let me tell you about the Storm Stopper. It is Jesus. Being God, He is the maker of heaven and earth. He is the creator of the storm, the leader and the stopper of the storm, as well as the ruler and authority over the storm. The storms submit to Jesus, Lord and God of the universe. In the Gospel of Mark, it tells us of our God who rules over the sea. “On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, ‘Let us cross over to the other side.’ Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him. And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, ‘Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?’ Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, ‘Peace, be still!’ And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. But He said to them, ‘Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?’ And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, ‘Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!’”

PRAISE IN THE STORM

My personal sleepless nights include heavy spiritual burdens, partnering with God in His heartbeat for holy covenant love of reconciliation; a longing of His creation of mankind coming back to Him. The spilled blood on Golgotha hill is so precious for just a few entering into a narrow gate. Yet powerful for the whole world and every single person of mankind to boldly receive that love and follow after Jesus who spilled the blood on our behalf. This month my solace in the midst of my storms are my early morning walks around Green Valley Park listening to “Sleepless Night” by Fernando Ortega. Here are the lyrics. Listen to the song and cling to Jesus. Another sleepless night I’m turning in my bed Long before the red sun rises In these early hours I’m falling again Into the river of my worries When the river runs away I find a shelter in your name Jesus, only light on the shore Only hope in the storm Jesus, let me fly to your side There I would hide, Jesus Hear my anxious prayer The beating of my heart The pulse and the measure of my unbelief Speak your words to me Before I come apart Help me believe in what I cannot see Before the river runs away I will call upon your name Jesus, only light on the shore Only hope in the storm Jesus, let me fly to your side There I would hide, Jesus RESOURCES

COVER STORY CONTINUED

Probably one of the hardest things to do for the youngsters with 4-H/FFA livestock projects is selling the magnificent animals they have raised from babies to adults at the Northern Gila County Fair. Add to that the fact that once the animals are sold they will most likely be butchered to stock in freezers of the winning bidders. It is part of the old-fashioned order of things in agriculture and those traditions are the root of the celebration at not only the Northern Gila County Fair, but at county and community fairs all over the state and country. The fair is from Friday, Sept. 9 through Sunday, Sept. 11 at the Payson Event Center. See the young people show their animals Friday and attend the livestock auction Saturday.

then have to sell him at the livestock auction on Saturday at 3 p.m. under the same tent. “Please, come support all of us at the fair, we work really hard all year long to bring good quality meat to the public and learn responsibility along the way,” Makiah said. There will be about 30 to 35 kids selling animals at this year’s fair. There will be chickens, turkeys, goats, lambs, pigs and steers to bid on. Anybody can be a part of the auction; it is open to the public. Arrive around 2:30 p.m. to get an auction number. At that time, bidders will also have a chance to look and talk to the young people about their livestock projects and see what they all have been doing to raise their animals. If you don’t think you could afford a whole animal yourself they have options to split with someone or bring friends and to split the cost. There will be a processor there to go over all the information needed to have the meat cut as desired. If you would like to donate to the kids or to an individual kid please call 928978-2131 and the necessary information will be provided. All money that is spent

at the auction, or through donations, is tax deductible, so it is a great way to support these hard-working local young people. KELTEN TAYLOR AND SAMMY

For a fifth-grader that goes to Julia Randall Elementary, Kelten Taylor is pretty excited about the next few days. He has been working with his pig Sammy since the first of May and is excited to bring him to the Northern Gila County Fair, which is Sept. 9-11 at the Payson Event Center. Kelten bought Sammy from a pig farm in Tucson, he had to pick from about 30 pigs and this one stood out because he has a weird shaped tail. When Kelten bought him he was only 50 pounds and now he is right at 250 pounds. Pigs grow really fast in a short amount of time. He is a very friendly pig and loves to come up to you and stick his nose on you and if he had been in the mud it will be a muddy kiss. Sammy shares his pen with another pig, Squirt, that the family will keep. He also is next door to Kelten’s oldest sister Makiah’s show steer that will also be at the fair. Having a pig is a lot of work, you would think that a pig is just let loose in a round pen with all of the other pigs

when it’s time to show them, but in reality you have to teach them to be controllable. Kelten works with Sammy every night and has a stick he uses so the pig really follows the stick and learns that if he puts the stick on the right side he needs to move right. “They pick up on it really fast, pigs are really smart.” Kelten said.

MOVIES CONTINUED

FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS FROM PAGE 3

singer with just enough distance that we know that he is playing a role with her. He plays the part of the devoted husband in order to make her happy. He wants to make her happy, even in her delusion, because he loves her with a great depth. The Grant character creates the world around his wife that will best make her happy. Grant the actor makes this both clear and richly emotional. The third of the prominent actors is Simon Helberg. He plays Cosmé McMoon, a quite serious and dedicated classical piano player, a minnow from Texas swimming in the crowded music world of New York. Helberg works mostly in TV and has had a continuing role in the well-known and well-liked series “The Big Bang Theory.” His McMoon is a very subtle piece of work, a great performance that we had no right to expect from an actor known almost entirely for his comic abilities. This is a very touching film, made so not because of the subject nature, but because the team, writer, director and actors, make these people seem to be alive, to be real. And we care about them, the perhaps dotty grande dame, her husband who nearly worships her and a hired piano player, her accompanist, who comes to love her nearly as much as the husband. Bring a tissue, or if you are a guy, wear long sleeves. This moving, five saw blade, PG-13 film runs for an hour and 50 minutes. Given a budget of $19 million by the producers it has returned a modest $20 million in two weeks. Often we hear movie fans crying out for something beyond skin, explosions and dinosaurs. Here it comes so take advantage of the chance to see a beautifully made film. MOVIE FACT

Florence Foster Jenkins actually lived. She passed away as depicted in the film in 1944.
