TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS

Wonderful travel for seniors this winter Summer has come and almost gone and now we begin to think about travel possibilities for later this year and next. In many ways it pays to choose and book travel for the winter period soon because there are many “deals” out there and they may disappear as tours and cruises begin to fill. In the many years I have been involved with travel in various ways, I can’t remember when there were so many good prices as right now, especially cruises. Perhaps, there are finally too many cruise ships available and many cruise lines have reduced their fares in various ways. Some lines are offering free gratuities, others with complimentary drink packages and one or two upgrades at no extra cost when booking the least expensive cabins. Some are even offering free round-trip air to and from the ship from your home airport. And there are some lines that are offering free sightseeing tours in each port of call. Follow the cruise lines “specials” from week to week on the Internet and you will see what I mean. There are Internet Cruise lines are becoming very competitive, offering extras for free, to lure passengers. travel agencies that in some cases get even better deals than those advertised often prefer taking tours (often themed) young ones will be happier there.

This is a good sailing date because it will not be too hot and the mobs have not yet arrived ashore. Book this early before it fills. • Mexico continues to offer great deals at their many resorts and your travel agent or online agency can assist you with prices and dates in the several fine beach communities where luxury is provided. Winter and spring are good times to go south of the border. • In the northern hemisphere winter travel offers fewer crowds and cooler weather. Give it a try. The Caribbean is choice and the islands differ from one another usually. Cruising is the best choice here regardless of age. Rather than travel alone, talk a friend into joining you if you are a single. It’s more fun.

Pyramid. At the end of a two-mile dirt road, in the middle of featureless pastureland, you’ll find this 60-foot-tall monument seemingly plunked down at random. The pyramid was built in 1882 near a line of the Union Pacific railroad and in honor of the railroad’s financiers. It was thought that the monument would be a welcome distraction to railroad passengers traveling through the plains of Wyoming. The decline of railroad travel, however, caused many tracks to be removed, including the line that ran by the pyramid. Now only cows are left to admire this relic of the industrial age.

The Sixth Annual Friends of the Poor Walk will be held in Payson and throughout the United States Saturday, Sept. 28. This year’s walk will begin and end at the St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store, located on the corner of Cedar Street and South Beeline. There will be music, food and thrift store discounts. To register to walk, sponsor a walker, make a donation or get more information on the Friends of the Poor Walk, please call Sue at (602) 980-6668 or Lynn at (928) 978-0470. Participants will walk in solidarity throughout the country to increase awareness and to raise money to assist those in need in their local communities. Sponsored by the National Council of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, this event is a major benefit to help the poor in the Payson

community. All money raised by this local event will be used directly to help those in need in Payson and the surrounding area. Payson’s St. Vincent de Paul offers person-to-person support and provides food through the local food bank, plus financial assistance for medical, dental, rent, utilities, emergency shelter and transportation costs. In 2012, food boxes were provided to 7,509 families, feeding 20,847 people in the community. 7,884 people were assisted with rent, utilities, medical/dental care and transportation aid. Payson’s St. Vincent de Paul has a volunteer staff, which depends solely on donations from individuals and the local business community to provide these services. The most important aspect of these services is the hope they offer.

RIM COUNTRY PLACES CHAPTER 26: THE NATURAL BRIDGE OF ARIZONA PART TWO – A TOURIST ATTRACTION

David and Lillias Goodfellow had come to Arizona from Scotland at the invitation of David’s uncle, David Gowan, to take over Gowan’s claim on the Natural Bridge. They immediately set about to replace Gowan’s cabin with a ranch house and hauled soil onto the four acres of stone that made up the top of the bridge. In this way they expanded the tillable area. They also improved the trail leading down to the bridge. From 1901 to 1908 Goodfellow and his sons built a road down the treacherous canyon wall, tediously carving it out with picks and shovels. They also built a small lodge in 1900 and went into the guest ranch business. The enterprise was promoted in newspapers around the country, touting STAN BROWN the location’s healthy dry, clean air and gorgeous scenery. Their visitors increased in number, so five small guest cabins were built to house the overflow from the lodge. Visitors from the East returned year after year. In 1925 and 1926 the lodge was replaced by a two-story building. The rough cut boards came from Henry Haught’s sawmill, where Tonto Village is today. The lodge soon became a social center for weddings, dinner dances, retreats, and as many as 60 guests registered at one time. The great dining room and living room, serviced by a spacious kitchen and large wood stove, became the center of many a happy gathering. Each evening carbide lights glowed, and the hardwood floors that extended to the surrounding porch gave the lodge a most substantial character. Three meals were served each day to guests, and tea was at 4 o’clock each afternoon. The tables were covered in white linen, the settings were of fine china and silver napkin holders graced each place. Even the potholders were extravagant, carefully crafted by the tailor David Goodfellow. It was a bit of British sophistication in the midst of Arizona’s wilderness. Each October the big stove and the fireplace were heated and never lacked a fire until 30 cords of wood had been burned and warm weather returned in April. The high profile of the lodge was designed to capture summer’s cooling evening breeze in its 10 upstairs bedrooms. This was a building pattern that had been followed by the hotel at Roosevelt Dam, the Verde Hot Springs lodge near Childs and the Herron Hotel on Payson’s Main Street, all built in the early 1900s. The upstairs bedrooms opened through screened sleeping porches to allow the west and south breezes to waft through on warm summer days and

nights. Inside the bridge ladders were constructed, giving access to the caves under the top. In the late 1950s, when our family ﬁrst visited the bridge, we could climb the wooden ladders fashioned to ascend the sides of the great enclosure under the bridge. While Pine Creek ﬂowed beneath, forming several large pools, my young son ventured to the ledges of these caves. My own high anxiety prevented my following, and such dangerous ventures were soon forbidden by the owners. The ladders were removed from the lower reaches. A cousin of the Goodfellows and Gowan, Andrew Ogilvie, had earlier come to America and while exploring the west had met David Gowan. At that time Gowan had offered Ogilvie rights to the bridge, but the youthful Scotsman preferred to work the mines in Jerome. However, after the Goodfellows settled the Natural Bridge, Ogilvie returned to Payson and contracted with the government to drive the mail route between there and Globe. In 1897 Ogilvie purchased squatters rights in Star Valley and homesteaded 160 acres at the northeast end of the valley. In 1908 Andy Ogilvie married the daughter of a local pioneer family, Agnes Lazear, in the Star Valley house of her brother. Andrew and Agnes Ogilvie became the parents of three children, one of them being Payson’s weather lady, Anna Mae Deming. The growing Ogilvie family enjoyed much time at the Natural Bridge, helping their cousins improve the place,

and in 1928 Andy built a 125-foot long swimming pool, which captured the clear waters of the abundant spring. That spring, year after year continued to ﬁll an eight-inch pipe with its ﬂow. The Goodfellows operated the guest facilities at the Natural Bridge until their deaths in 1936 and 1938. Deterioration set in until 1948, when sons David and Harry Goodfellow sold the property to the Glen Randall family. Glen, a native of Pine, had loved visiting the Natural Bridge as a growing child and was intrigued by the suggestion of David Goodfellow’s sons that he interest the federal government in the property as a national park. Randall had obtained a law degree from George Washington University, and they thought he might have the necessary contacts in the nation’s capital. Upon inquiry, Randall was told the nation had enough national parks in the region and was not interested. The Arizona State Parks Board showed no interest either. Glen decided to gather partners from his family and buy it themselves, which he did along with Bert A. Randall and W. J. Randall. After making improvements, the latter two sold their interest to Glen and his brother George Randall. The Randalls held the property for 20 years, but in 1967 Glen died and the family sought again to have the Arizona State Parks Board buy it. The state’s bid was far under its appraised value, offering only $125,000, so a private corporation purchased it with a loan from the Clifford Wolfswinkles. The Randall-sponsored corporation was un-

able to maintain payments, and lien holder Wolfswinkle became the owner in 1985. It was during the years that Glen Randall owned and managed the Natural Bridge that my family and I spent overnight “getaways” at the Natural Bridge lodge with the Randall family as our host. I shall never forget the great food served in the large dining room, which had become more western-rustic and less sophisticated. Also remembered was the creaking of the timbers in the old building at night when the cooling air wafted through the chambers. Under the later Wolfswinkle ownership the lodge was renovated and furnished with heirlooms from the Goodfellow family as well as other antiques. Tourists began to rediscover the wonder of this historic landmark, and in 1986 the lodge was included in the National Register of Historic Places. In 1990 the State of Arizona secured ownership of the property and the bridge for $3 million, designating it as Arizona’s 26th State Park on Oct. 12. The previously harrowing road was paved to the bottom of the canyon, sidewalks and picnic ramadas were installed, including handicap accessible parking and a parking lot to accommodate 146 cars. The 183-foot-high bridge is 150 feet wide inside, and shelters a 400-foot-long tunnel. The travertine monolith was created by a complicated geologic process, which is best described by rangers at the park. However, the 1940 WPA Writer’s Project called it “a vast stalactitic formation built up of lime deposited by springs that for countless years have been washing over the sides of the canyon. Hats, shoes or other articles left in the creek become encrusted with travertine and appear to be made of stone.” The 19th century traveling journalist, Charles F. Lummis, whose descriptions of adventures in Arizona brought the national attention of travelers to the Southwest, summed things up in these words, “The Natural Bridge of Pine Creek, Arizona, is to the world’s natural bridges what the Grand Canyon is to the world chasms — The greatest, the grandest, the most bewildering.”

FIRE ON THE RIM

Weekend features races, entertainment, food and more

The Fire on the Rim Mountain Bike Race promises riders will never be bored — the terrain, weather, and the course can kick butt, but mountain bikers love to play hard. Plus, organizers of the third annual Fire on the Rim Mountain Bike Race have stuffed the schedule for the weekend of Sept. 13-15 with music, food and chances to experience the quaint town of Pine. Starting with a spaghetti dinner on Friday night and ending with a ride on the new Bearfoot Trail, no one will have time to twiddle his or her thumbs. “Meet some of the riders, carbing up for the Fire on the Rim Mountain Bike Race (Friday night), early the next morning, connect with friends and neighbors or make new friends at this fun, scrumptious community event for a great cause,” say event organizers. This year, the race will have an old-fashioned hayride to transport diners to and from the parking area to the barn where Chef Gerardo Moceri, of Gerardo’s Firewood Café in Payson, will serve the spaghetti. Three bands will serenade participants over two days: the J.D. Madrid band, the Trouble in Paradise band and the John Scott Band offering a wide array of music. The trail race has doubled in attendance every year. The trail snakes through areas of Pine and Strawberry that show off some of the best scenery in the area. Steep drops and technical single track designed by mountain bikers have some racers praying they finish the race. Other areas of the trail are former Jeep trails that have plenty of room for speedsters to pass the slowpokes. But organizers say what really captures racers’ hearts and keeps them returning year after year is the small-town, community touches. Such as the Kids Only Mountain Bike Race at 9 a.m. on Saturday. Kids will feel like the grown-ups when winners of the race receive Mountain Bike Association of Arizona medals. The race is free and registration is on Saturday before the start time. Racers appreciate the locals who come out to cheer them on at various spots along the course. Many pop out of their cabins, coffee in hand, to see the bikers do their stuff. The weekend culminates with a trail ride on the beautiful new Bearfoot Trail. The trail shows off the investment race fees make to improve the recreation and fire prevention for the area. Pine Strawberry Fuel Reduction, Inc. (PSFR) created the race to supplement government funding that has dried up due to the economic difficulties for the past few years. The communities of Pine and Strawberry nestle in a breathtakingly beautiful valley amidst the largest ponderosa pine forest in the world. However, for the last 100 years, mismanagement of the forest has resulted in an overgrowth of trees and an exponential increase in fire risk. Between 1900 and now, tree density has increased from three to 10 trees per acre, to more than 1,000 per acre. When a fire does hit the area, it will quickly escalate into a lethal crown fire, as the Dude Fire more than two decades ago. Rather than wait for governments to take the lead, the residents of Pine and Strawberry banded together to create Pine Strawberry Fuel Reduction, Inc. The race is a critical component of its fund-raising to continue

maintaining firebreaks and building new trails for visitors and fuel reduction workers to access the forest. On its Web site, www.fireontherim.com, PSFR writes that it has received national attention for its work to provide wildfire protection to the two mountain hamlets. “Pine Strawberry Fuel Reduction, Inc. is a completely volunteer 501(c)3 nonprofit community organization and is dependent entirely upon private donations and grants for its operation. The relative cost of funding fire prevention programs and activities is certainly small in comparison with all that we stand to lose here in the Rim Country,” write committee members. Come out and experience the fun! WEEKEND SCHEDULE FRIDAY, SEPT. 13

Camping is available at the Mary Ellen Randall Arena. This is also the site for the start/finish of the race, 6000 Bradshaw Drive in Pine. There is no cost for camping as it is private land donated for use at this event, but organizers ask for additional care in its use to respect the owners. RV parking is available, but no hookups or dumping is available. The event will have restrooms available, but if race goers need more clean up; free showers are a short bike ride away at the Pine Elementary School. 24-hour security is available for the event. The surrounding Tonto National Forest also offers camping. Food: Along with the local Pine restaurants, food vendors will set up shop near the campsite and race start. JB’s Smokehouse BBQ has sandwiches, burgers, wings, tacos and breakfast burritos all day. Raimondo’s Italian Food will have Italian and American food. Scoops Ice Cream and Oscar’s Coffee Bar will offer hot coffee and cold ice cream, plus other delectable treats. Pine’s own brewery, THAT Brewery, will host the beer garden. They have a special brew to support the Arizona Trail — the Arizona Trail Ale. Proceeds go toward maintaining the trail that runs near Pine. Bike raffle — for $5 per ticket, attendees have a chance to win one of two Raleigh Mountain Bikes valued at $1,099 each.

Returning to a school or work routine is bittersweet. Schedules and agendas don’t have to be boring, though, when your lunch routine is anything but. Run-of-the-mill PB&J and turkey and cheese standbys are making way for a new hero — gourmet sandwich creations that inspire envy. Craveable ingredients, like savory green olives, peppery salami and smoky roasted tomatoes can be lunch staples with these delicious recipes. Skip those weekday blues and mix up your lunch with a layer of excitement. It makes great meal any way you stack it Weekday lunch breakers rejoice — the sandwich is making a comeback. Kick-start your lunch routine with these easy tips and craveable recipes that are sure to inspire lunch envy: • Prep the Week: Create a shopping list based on your week’s menu, and prepare your ingredients in advance so creating a delicious sandwich is easy. Have a little fun and experiment. Bet you didn’t know that if you put two pieces of bread in the same slot of the toaster, the outside of the bread gets crispy and the inside stays soft and pillowy. • Spread the Love: Spice things up with a Smoked Bacon Ranch or Spicy Chipotle Pepper Hidden Valley Sandwich Spread & Dip — it’s a simple addition and guaranteed to be tasty. • Nibble Ready: Stock your fridge with quick, grab-and-go snacks and sides. Fresh vegetables are a tasty treat when dipped in Country Herb Ranch or Oven Roasted Garlic Parmesan Hidden Valley Sandwich Spread & Dip. Made with white beans and cream cheese, each tablespoon has one-third the calories of mayonnaise. Cherry tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower or bell pepper strips also make great dippers. • Leftover Magic: Repurpose boring leftovers into delicious sandwiches to take on-the-go for school and office lunches. Simply add spread and bread. Yesterday’s roast chicken is today’s tasty Chicken Bacon Club.

BLT BOATS Serves 6 1/2 cup Hidden Valley Smoked Bacon Ranch Sandwich Spread & Dip, divided 2 cups chopped lettuce, 1/2-inch pieces 1 cup seeded and chopped tomato 1 cup chopped, sliced turkey (about 6 ounces) 6 hot dog buns Crumbled crisp-cooked bacon, optional In medium mixing bowl, gently stir together sandwich spread, chopped lettuce, tomato and turkey.

LOUISIANA-STYLE MUFFALETTA SANDWICHES Serves 10 1, 16-ounce loaf sweet Italian or French bread, cut in half lengthwise 1/2 cup Hidden Valley Oven-Roasted Garlic Parmesan Sandwich Spread & Dip 3/4 pound assorted Italian deli meats, such as ham, salami and mortadella 1/4 pound sliced provolone cheese 1/2 cup sliced green olives Lettuce, if desired Open loaf of bread and spread sandwich spread on both sides of cut surfaces. Top one side with layers of meat, cheese, olives and lettuce and then close with other side. Slice into two-inch wide segments for serving.

VEGGIE LOVERS SANDWICH WITH ROASTED GARLIC Serves 2 1 sourdough sandwich roll, toasted 2 tablespoons Hidden Valley Oven Roasted Garlic Parmesan Sandwich Spread & Dip 8 slices of mixed grilled vegetables, such as eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash, red bell pepper, red onions and mushrooms Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish, optional Spread both sides of sandwich roll with garlic sandwich spread. Top with layers of grilled vegetables and a sprinkle of cheese, if desired.

FUSION REUBEN SANDWICH Serves 2 2 slices rye bread 2 tablespoons Hidden Valley Spicy Chipotle Pepper Sandwich Spread & Dip 2 slices (2 ounces) corned beef or pastrami 1/4 cup drained sauerkraut 2 slices Swiss cheese Spread one side of each slice of bread with sandwich spread. Top with meat, sauerkraut and cheese. Close sandwich and grill until cheese is melted.

CHICKEN BACON CLUB SANDWICHES Serves 5 2 cups shredded, cooked chicken 1/2 cup Hidden Valley Smoked Bacon Ranch Sandwich Spread & Dip 10 slices buttermilk sandwich bread, toasted 5 leaves lettuce 1 large tomato, sliced 1 large avocado, sliced Stir chicken and sandwich spread together.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The changing season brings new experiences as well as challenges for the ever-adventurous Aries. Your social life expands, as do the opportunities at your workplace. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) That recent period of uncertainty has passed. You can now feel more confident about making decisions, especially those that relate to an important personal relationship. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Although you might be faced with a number of tasks on your todo list, try to take time out to enjoy the arts. Music, especially, can be soothing to the sensitive soul of a Gemini. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A disagreement with a colleague or friend is best resolved with open and frank discussion. Trying to force the other party to see things your way is bound to backfire. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) That Leonine pride might be ruffled by a colleague’s challenge to one of your pet ideas. But stop growling and listen. You could learn something that will work to your advantage. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Someone in authority might decide to select you as a candidate for a project that carries more responsibilities. Be prepared to show why you’re the right choice for the job. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) That new workplace problem should be dealt with as soon as possible. Leaving it unresolved for too long could lead to an even more unsettling and time-consuming situation. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You might have to do some fancy juggling to keep both your work responsibilities and personal obligations on track. But ultimately, you’ll work it all out, as you always do. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You might hear some upsetting things about a situation in your life. But don’t be swayed by talk. Demand proof before making any decisions on the matter. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Don’t risk depleting those precious energy levels by taking on more tasks than you can realistically handle. Also, remember to ask for help when you need it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) It might be difficult for the Aquarian who is used to giving advice to take counsel when offered. But it’s a good idea to listen to what trusted friends feel you should know. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Things might be a little unsettled as you move through a period of reassessment. But once you get your priorities sorted out, you should be ready to tackle an important decision. BORN THIS WEEK: You’re able to achieve a happy balance in your productive life by never feeling overwhelmed or underappreciated. © 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

RIM REVIEW • SEPTEMBER 11, 2013

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My 88-year-old father has congestive heart failure and aortic stenosis. His cardiologist suggested transcatheter aortic valve replacement as an alternative to open-heart surgery. I’ve read overwhelmingly positive reports about this minimally invasive technique. I feel very strongly that doing this not only would prolong my father’s life but also would greatly improve its quality. I would appreciate any help you could give me to alleviate my father’s apprehensions. He is very leery about having any surgical procedure. — J.W. ANSWER: At 88, your dad probably has health considerations other than his narrowed aortic valve and congestive heart failure. Even if he does, the procedure of replacing his aortic valve without the standard surgical operation places little stress on him and gives him the chance to lead a more active and longer life. A narrowed aortic valve, aortic stenosis, makes it difficult for the heart to pump blood out into the body. The surgical procedure for replacing that valve involves cutting the breastbone (sternum) so the surgeon can view the heart directly. The transcatheter intervention is done without any incision. A pliable tube, the catheter, is advanced from a surface artery and threaded into the heart. The valve replacement is attached to the catheter. When the surgeon has arrived at the site for installation, it’s accomplished directly with the catheter. This procedure is a godsend for elderly people who might not be able to withstand the rigors of the standard operation. When people with aortic stenosis develop symptoms, their life span is greatly reduced. If congestive heart failure results from this valve problem, a patient, on average, has only one-and-a-half to two years of life left. And those years are not pleasant. The affected person becomes extremely short of breath even on slight exertion. Valve replacement eliminates the death threat and the breathlessness. Your dad should reconsider his position. This procedure isn’t surgery. The booklet on congestive heart failure explains this common condition and its treatments. Readers can order a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue — No. 103W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am 71 years old and have been told I have DISH, diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis. I am told there is no cure. Will you give me your opinion and advice? — R.B. ANSWER: DISH is something that happens in middle and older ages. It’s calcification and bone formation in the ligaments of the back. Bone spurs are part of the picture. Any part of the spine can be affected, from neck to lower back. For many, it causes no symptoms but accidentally is discovered on an Xray. For others, it’s a source of pain and stiffness. Osteoarthritis, the most common kind of arthritis, has no cure either. Many therapies exist to dull its pain and preserve joint motion. The same goes for DISH. Heat, stretching exercises, Tylenol and the many nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (Aleve, Advil, Motrin, etc.) can make life livable for those with DISH. Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 328536475.
