Unity World Day of Prayer is an opportunity to join people from around the world in a 24-hour prayer vigil as we embrace the Divine energy that is in all of us. This year’s theme “The Universe is Calling” reminds us God is everywhere present — within us and around us. As we align with this Divine presence, we are lifted to a higher awareness of our oneness with God and our own Divine potential. Please join Unity of Payson for our Unity World Day of Prayer Service at 8:30 a.m., Thursday, Sept. 13, as we celebrate our Divine essence and the power of prayer to enrich our lives. Services are held at the Central Arizona Board of Realtors, 600 E. Highway 260, Suite #14, next to Tiny’s Restaurant. For more information, see our Web site: www.UnityofPayson.org or call (928) 478-8515.

From international cruises, to stateside trips for viewing fall colors, there’s something for everyone.
Our food feature focuses on some quick and easy recipes that won’t require much time in the kitchen for families busy with school and fall sports schedules.

Walk to End Alzheimer’s needs you
U.S. Constitution celebration
September 2012 marks the 225th anniversary of the Constitution of the United States of America. The Daughters of the American Revolution, Mogollon Chapter, invite you to join us to recognize and celebrate the liberties and freedom our Constitution provides us. This event will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 19, at the Payson Public Library, 328 N. McLane Road. We look forward to seeing you there and to provide you with handouts and your own booklet of the Constitution — the foundation for our way of life... “We the People.”
The Alzheimer’s Association is inviting residents in the Rim communities to unite in a movement to reclaim the future for millions by participating in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s. Green Valley Park in Payson will be the site of the Walk on Sept. 22. Registration and entertainment will start at 8 a.m. with the Walk commencing at 9 a.m. Walk to End Alzheimer’s is more than a walk. It is an experience for participants to learn about Alzheimer’s disease and how to get involved with this critical cause, from advocacy opportunities, the latest in Alzheimer’s research and clinical trial enrollment to support programs and services. Each walker will also join in a meaningful ceremony to honor those affected by Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease is a growing epidemic and is now the nation’s sixth-lead-
ing cause of death. As baby boomers age, the number of individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease will rapidly escalate, increasing well beyond today’s estimated 5.4 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s. In addition to the main walk, participants will enjoy local entertainment, exercise and education updates on Alzheimer’s care and research as well as a special tribute to those who have experienced or are experiencing Alzheimer’s. Start or join a team today at RimAlzheimersWalk.org. “There has never been a greater need for the residents of Payson and the surrounding communities to join in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease by participating in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s,” said Aynsley Stephenson, Central Arizona Special Events Coordinator for the Alzheimer’s Association Desert

THE ODD LIFE OF TIMOTHY GREEN
Little Disney movie is charming, if a little schmaltzy This odd trip into magical realism is a sort of Russian folk tale meets Disney. A childless couple, in an act of wine influenced catharsis, writes down the characteristics that their perfect child would have had. He would have a sense of humor, be artistic and musical but not very athletic and so on. They put the notes in a box, then bury the box, and they hope their sadness in the back garden. In true Disney fashion, that night a boy appears from the garden, their perfect son. But in Russian folk tale tradition, he has a terrible, heartbreaking secret. Oh yeah, the boy from the garden has leaves growing from his legs. Writer/director Peter Hedges made this charming, if schmaltzy little movie. I admit that it is effective at tugging the heart strings of the audience, which is a nice change from other films which sim-
ply pile on the adrenaline in time of it. The actors show that savage appeals to our darker having each other, while not natures.

get back in tune with the world we live in. Numerous cruise lines can bring you here and many resorts are available to welcome you and yours. If you are into fishing, consider a week in Alaska. Some companies will fly you out into the boonies and leave you to set up camp and fish for a week, then, pick you up for the return to modern civilization. Again, consult the web to identify companies that will do this. There are several. Colder weather settles in rather early in the Northland so don’t wait too late this fall to do this. Some enjoy Costa Rica in the fall season. The weather here is mostly mild yeararound so the time of year to visit is actually not important. The rainy season is not bad so enjoy the beaches, forest and cities here. Late this fall, Florida is not so hot and is actually a wonderful state to visit. You might want to rent a car after you arrive in perhaps Orlando and tour both the east and west coastal areas. Wonderful beaches await with fine hotels and resorts plus the wonderful theme parks which must be visited. Adults can enjoy these also. Most of South America has the reverse seasons as the U.S. since so much of its land mass lies below the equator. I just received a “mailer” from a cruise line I have sailed with several times, Discovery Cruises. They are placing into service a very modern 15,000 gross ton ship that carries only 540 guests. The ship is the “Voyager” and will be circumnavigating

South America between January and March next year. The cruise line is selling portions of this cruise and I call your attention to what I consider the best part of the long cruise. You can board the Voyager in Buenos Aires, Argentina and spend 20 days cruising to Puerto Madryn, Port Stanley in the Falkland Islands, to Ushuaia at the bottom of the Continent and the most southern city in the world sailing up the Pacific Ocean to Punta Arenas, Puerto Chacabuco, Chile and leave the ship at Puerto Montt, Chile, then fly home from Santiago. Fares for the 20 days sailing begin at $2,899 per person for an interior room. Air fare is extra. This is some of the most scenic area of South America and should be seen in one’s lifetime. The ship Voyager is much smaller than most of today’s cruise ships but not high priced as most smaller ships are. Small ships are like smaller resorts and can offer more personal service. The cruise line is English owned and staffed with British officers and Filipino service crew. You will find this ship very friendly as we have in the past on the same companies “Discovery” which holds 650 guests. You would cruise with people from the British Isles, Canada, Australia and United States. Phone Discovery Cruises at: 1-866-6232689 or consult your travel agent. Fall is a good time to travel as is our winter period in Florida, Southern California and the Caribbean. Have fun planning your trip.

IN THE KITCHEN | FAMILY FEATURES
Secret to stress-free weeknights The busy school year means that dinner planning often gets pushed aside. Moms and dads alike may find themselves opting for the drive-thru instead of the dinner table. But that’s not the only option. Homemade Quick Chili Mac Skillet was created with busy weeknights in mind. Not only is it quick and easy, it’s a family-friendly and healthy dinner that you can feel good about serving. Start with everyone’s favorite elbow pasta, but not just any pasta. Choose one that offers some extra benefits that traditional pasta doesn’t provide. For example, Dreamfields Elbows are made from durum wheat semolina, which ensures the taste and texture of traditional pasta, but with a nutritional boost. Five grams of fiber per 1-cup cooked serving and fewer digestible carbohydrates make it a delicious and healthy option to traditional pasta. While the pasta cooks, brown ground beef and onion, making sure the beef is completely cooked. Stir in a pinch of chili powder for a peppery kick; add diced canned tomatoes and kidney beans — super simple. On these time-crazed days, swapping out hand-chopping for the can opener makes a lot of sense. Simply toss the chili with the pasta, sprinkle with cheese and serve a delicious one-dish dinner that will get the entire family back to the table. A green salad or fruit would be a great way to round out the menu.

RIM HISTORY RIM HISTORY BACK WHEN | STAN BROWN
RIM COUNTRY PLACES Chapter 3 – Baker Butte
The highest point on the Mogollon Rim is a conical hill named Baker Butte. This distinctive landmark sits on the edge of the 1,500 foot escarpment, and can be seen from almost anywhere in the Payson area. The old military trail built by General George Crook in the summers of 1872 to 1874 snakes around the north slope of Baker Butte, linking Forts Whipple and Verde with Fort Apache. The army STAN BROWN used the summit of this butte for heliograph signals in the 1880s, and a fire watch tower has been there since 1937. All the maps from the 1860s show the Mogollon Rim as open and unexplored. The dark, brooding shadows of its deep canyons and thick pine forests caused the Apaches to call it the Black Mesa. Apaches controlled the entire area until around 1874 when they were finally confined to reservations. In fact, it was in the fall of 1871 when General Crook and his party were scouting the area, seeking a route for his proposed military road, that they were attacked by an Apache band just a few miles from Baker Butte, and barely escaped with their lives. How then did Baker Butte get its name? There are several stories that would give the answer, but they bear close scrutiny. One story revolves around a grave and military head stone along the Crook Trail, right on the side of Baker Butte. A memo from the files of the Coconino National Forest archives in Flagstaff states, “I have done a little informed checking on the grave on Baker Butte. It has been a common knowledge that the spot mentioned… is a grave of one known as Mr. Baker. The report is that he was a colored fellow killed by a soldier with a pick. This was the result of a misunderstanding during the construction of the old military road. Perhaps this is in need of a little more research…” (District Ranger Bob Williamson of Long Valley to his supervisor Doug Morrison) More research indeed! No documentation except hearsay is given. “Arizona Place Names” states, “There is a story in the upper basin to the effect that the butte was named for a man named Baker who once owned and worked a mine on this butte and had several half breed Indian sons. Rather doubtful.” (Barnes, University of Arizona Press, 1988 paperback edition, page 38) Again, there are no documents, not even mine claim records, to back this up. In 1933, a few years before Will Barnes published his compilation of place names, the Coconino Sun, Flagstaff’s newspaper, published “Arizonology: A Compilation of More Than Two Thousand Names Found on the Maps of Arizona” (by Elwood Lloyd). The author claimed that Baker Butte was
“named for James Baker, who brought sheep from California to Arizona, through the Mojave Desert in 1868.” Flagstaff historian Platt Cline, in his excellent book “They Came To The Mountain,” picks up on this in discussing the butte. “…It was said that it was named for James Baker, who brought sheep into the area in 1868… The first permanent sheep ranch in the northern part of Arizona was established in 1868 by James Baker near the Butte which is named for him in the Mogollon Rim country.” It is true that James M. Baker was a sheep and cattle rancher as early as 1868, headquartered in Chino Valley north of Prescott. They brought 1,000 sheep from California to start with, and the Prescott newspaper, The Arizona Miner, reported that in May, 1869, Baker went to New Mexico to purchase more sheep, but returned in August with 300 head of cattle instead. A 1936 article in the Arizona Historical Review titled “Early History of the Sheep Industry in Arizona” by Bert Haskett, picks up on this story and states that James Baker brought sheep into Arizona in the early1870s and settled “in what was then Yavapai County near the butte that now bears his name.” Since Barnes, Platt and Haskett all wrote after the Lloyd book published in Flagstaff, it seems that was their source, without any further documentation. All of these stories are belied by John G. Bourke, aide and sidekick with General Crook. In his book “On The Border with Crook,” where he describes the Apache attack on their party at the headwaters of the East Verde River (just east of Baker Butte), he makes it clear that ranching was not being carried out in that area in 1871. The Rim was unmapped, they were breaking trail, and the Apache presence made settlement there impossible. Furthermore, Bourke in his hand-written diary on Wednesday, April 2, 1873, referred to Baker’s Butte. This author read and partially copied that diary from the Arizona Historical Society. Bourke and Crook were camped on the Rim, and he wrote, “Baker’s Butte is due east about 12 miles.” On another page he makes a pen and ink sketch, clearly labeling the Black Mesa and Baker’s Butte. Because of this reference, any events that inspired the name had to precede that date. The first documented record of white men entering the area of Baker Butte comes with the January 1868 military scout under the command of Col. Thomas C. Devin. They entered the Rim from the west, and followed Indian trails in their search for Apache camps. At the canyon where the East Verde River heads, Devin’s party blazed a steep zigzag trail, which he called “the jump off,” and followed the river down to a trail that led them eastward to Tonto Creek. That trail later was developed into

the familiar Highline Trail. Along the way they discovered a number of creek side gardens, which they destroyed, but apparently no active camps. The expedition had been more difficult than Devin anticipated, and they were running out of supplies. The Colonel’s report to Army headquarters afterward gives fascinating detail of their adventures. He st up camp at the head of Tonto Creek, and “sent my pack train back to Camp Lincoln for twenty days’ rations…” The detachment returned the way they had come. “The pack team, while on its return for the rations, was ambushed near the top of the jump-off I had constructed down the mountain, and the pack master, Mr. Baker, was killed. The Indians fled before the troops could reach the summit, though the soldiers dashed forward with all of the speed the steep ascent would admit.” The post returns for Fort Whipple report that the man killed was Col. Devin’s chief packer, John Baker, a civilian employee. Thomas Farish in his “History of Arizona” also refers to this incident in his list of “Indian outrages” for 1868, “May 18th they killed John C. Baker east of the Rio Verde.” It was the custom for the cavalry to bury their casualties near where they fell, unless they were close enough to an army post to bring in the body. This is what they did, at the top of the Rim near the drop off. This is the same location where three years later Crook himself would be attacked. After the burial, the pack train continued west along the trail Devin had followed. I have walked
along that route, and just west of the “jump-off” the trail swings to the right, away from the Rim, and there straight ahead is a perfect view of Baker Butte rising before one’s eyes. It seems reasonable that the soldiers who buried Baker at the head of the East Verde River named the next major landmark they came to in his honor. From then on the soldiers who passed that way began calling it Baker’s Butte, as did John Bourke in his 1873 diary. An 1879 map calls it Backer Butte and the 1880 Eckhoff and Riecker map, compiled from older maps and hearsay, picks up on “Backer.” It sounds as if someone with an Irish brogue told the mapmakers the name. We defer to Bourke’s earlier diary deference. Like a mysterious attraction, the name Baker continued to gather around this place. When an 1887 coroner’s jury from Pine assembled at this place to decide who murdered the freighter Andres Moreno, one of the six jury members was W. T. Baker. In 1901 Forest Ranger Charles E. Baker was assigned to the area, and Sarah McDonald, born in 1898 and raised in Payson, told me in an interview, “There was an old man named Baker who had a ranch right below and on the north side of the butte, and it was named for him.” With so many Bakers associated with the little extinct volcano, that name hovers like a ghost over the place. NEXT: The Mysterious Black Mesa?

FUN WITH FIDO Tips for an active season with your K-9 companion Pet parents know that the best way to put an extra wag in a dog’s tail and a spring in his step is to mention the word “walk” or “outside.” We’ve all seen it before. Pets automatically perk up at the opportunity for time outdoors. Additionally, an active lifestyle is just as beneficial for the pets as it is for the pet owners and promotes a healthy routine, while strengthening the loving bond. It’s the perfect time of year to incorporate some extra activities into your pet’s schedule. The warm weather and long daylight hours offer additional time outside. When planning vacations, weekend getaways, or even weeknight outings, be sure to include activities that are petfriendly. Try these tips and share in an active season with your fourlegged friends. • Go for a hike. Getting out in the woods is a thrill for dogs — everywhere they turn, there’s something to sniff, look at or maybe even chase. Hit the trails with him for an active outing that’s refreshing, healthy and fun. It’s important to be well-supplied for hikes. Be sure to bring plenty of water as well as wholesome snacks. • Explore new neighborhoods. Most people and pets have a wellworn path on their neighborhood walks, so why not switch up the scenery? Stray off the usual route, or drive somewhere different to go for a stroll. Try to find dog-friendly businesses that encourage visitors to bring pets along. Dog parks are great places to spend time with your dog and even meet fellow pet parents. Make sure to pack treats to keep everyone refreshed and fueled, and be courteous by bringing baggies to pick up after your dog. • Do good for charity. Supporting local and national charities that benefit dogs and other pets goes a long way toward giving animals in need the life they deserve. One way to participate is through fund-raising walks that support charities such as animal shelters and animal welfare organizations. Charitable organizations that are also petfriendly are the perfect way to participate in a great cause while being active with a pet. Health and activity are closely linked for both people and pets. So what’s good for people is good for furry family members. Think creatively about how to do more together with your pet, and you’ll find plenty of ways to enjoy the season and each other.

A walk in the park with his dog is one of the things that keeps Harry Sarre, 100, young at heart.
Pet health care primer: What you need to do and when For pet owners, there are few things more exciting than bringing home a new companion. And while it’s fun to play with that new furry friend during those first months together, there’s also some business to take care of. Setting a pet up for a long, rich life is in your hands, so it’s important to know how to take care of his health from the start. Whether you found your new pet at a local shelter or through a breeder, it’s important to have discussions about what veterinary care the youngster has already received. Many organizations and breeders make the effort to give puppies and kittens the necessary treatments in their earliest weeks of life, before they’re ready to go home with new owners. However, you should remember that those steps are only the beginning — it’s up to you to continue your pet’s health care. Follow these tips to ensure that your pet’s health stays on track for life. • Fix at four. Spaying and neutering are an essential part of responsible pet ownership. However, even pet parents who know how important the procedure is might not be aware of how early a pet can start reproducing. Because kittens can get pregnant as early as 4 months and puppies at 6 months, Best Friends Animal Society urges pet owners to keep the principle of “fix at four” in mind. That means, in most cases, that you
should spay or neuter at 4 months. You should always consult with your veterinarian, but if that seems young, keep in mind that, depending on the individual animal, it can be safe to fix at that age, and that younger pets can bounce back from the surgery sooner. Even if your pet is male, fixing is just as important, as he might be the cause of an accidental litter — and as many as half of the 70,000 puppies and kittens born every day are accidents, according to Best Friends Animal Society. For more details about spaying and neutering, and to find resources for having your pet fixed, visit www.fixatfour.com. • Vaccinate regularly. Between 6 and 16 weeks of age, pets need a regular schedule of vaccinations. For dogs, vaccines for distemper, hepatitis, parainfluenza and parvovirus will likely be recommended by veterinarians; shots will typically be administered in three rounds, at 6-8 weeks, 10-12 weeks and 14-16 weeks. For cats, shots will generally include panleukopenia, rhinotracheitis and calcivirus and perhaps feline leukemia, depending on your vet’s recommendations. Some of those are part of a combination vaccine given at 6-7 weeks, 10 weeks, 13 weeks and 16-19 weeks. Rabies vaccinations are also essential for both cats and dogs, and should be given regularly throughout your pet’s lifetime.
• Keep up with preventive care. In addition to vaccines, you need to protect your pet from other threats to their health. Some of the most common concerns are ticks, fleas and worms. For both kittens and puppies, you can start fighting heartworm early, by beginning a program of heartworm medication at 6 weeks. If your puppy is older than 7 months and you’re not sure whether he’s been given heartworm medication in the past, you should have him tested before you start any prevention measures. Other worms, such as roundworms, whipworms and hookworms, can cause diarrhea and growth delays in your pet and are transmissible to humans. Luckily, they are fairly easy to keep in check with a regular deworming treatment schedule. Keeping your pet free of fleas and ticks will make his life more comfortable and also help prevent diseases, such as Lyme disease. Combined flea and tick prevention medications make it easy to prevent both types of pests in one step. Some popular topical preventive treatments can be used on puppies and kittens as young as 8 weeks. Owning a pet can be one of life’s greatest joys, providing you with a best friend and a constant companion. Make sure that you repay your pet’s loyalty by caring for him from the start and maintaining a healthy lifestyle that you can both benefit from. From ARA Content

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a good time for the usually outspoken Lamb to be a bit more discreet. You still can get your point across, but do it in a way less likely to turn off a potential supporter. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Good news: All that hard work you put in is beginning to pay off. But you need to watch that tendency to insist on doing things your way or no way. Be a bit more flexible. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might want to delay making a decision on the future of a long-standing relationship until you check out some heretofore hidden details that are just now beginning to emerge. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your reluctance to compromise on an important issue could backfire without more facts to support your position. Weigh your options carefully before making your next move. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a good time for ambitious Leos or Leonas to shift from planning their next move to actually doing it. Your communication skills help persuade others to join you. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Relationships — personal or professional — present new challenges. Be careful not to let a sudden surge of stubbornness influence how you choose to deal with them. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You might need more facts before you can decide on a possible career change. But you should have no problem making a decision about an important personal matter. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You’re respected by most people for your direct, no-nonsense approach to the issues. But be careful you don’t replace honest skepticism with stinging sarcasm. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) A newly emerging situation could require a good deal of attention and some difficult decision-making. However, close friends will help you see it through. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Family matters need 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) Of course you deserve to indulge yourself in something special. But for now, tuck that bit of mad money away. You’ll need it to help with a looming cash crunch. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) A temporary setback in your financial situation is eased by changing some of your plans. You’ll be able to ride it out quite well until the tide turns back in your favor. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gift for understanding people’s needs. You have a low tolerance for those who act without concern for others. © 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

Leg pain a sign of blocked artery BY PAUL G. DONOHUE, M.D. 2012 NORTH AMERICA SYND., INC.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My wife’s doctor thinks she has intermittent claudication due to peripheral vascular disease. She also has diabetes. Would you describe it and its treatment? — S.B. ANSWER: Peripheral vascular disease also goes by the name peripheral artery disease, PAD. “Peripheral” refers to the outer boundary, and when speaking of the body, the legs are its periphery. Leg arteries are narrowed and often blocked by the buildup of cholesterol, fat and many other components found in the circulation. The buildup is called plaque. The buildup can be so great that no blood runs through the main leg arteries. Intermittent claudication is leg pain that develops when someone with PAD walks any distance. The person can tell, almost to the number of steps taken, when pain will arise. Taking a rest relieves the pain. About 15 percent of those 70 and older have PAD. Its main sign is intermittent claudication. Your wife can do many things on her own that will help her. If her cholesterol is high, she has to get it down. She has to maintain normal blood pressure. She must exercise within the limits prescribed by her doctor. Walking is one of the best exercises. If she starts out modestly and gradually increases the distance and pace, she should aim for 30 minutes of walking daily. When pain arises, she should stop, take a break and then resume once pain has gone. One simple test for determining PAD is comparing blood pressure taken at the ankle with blood pressure taken in the arm. They should be nearly equal. If the ankle pressure is lower, that’s evidence of PAD. Your wife’s doctor will discuss the use of medicines like Plavix, Pletal and aspirin. With severe blockage of an artery, opening it up with a balloontipped catheter and inserting a shunt is one treatment. It’s the same procedure used for clogged heart arteries. Removing the obstructed artery segment and replacing it with a graft is another way to treat this illness. The booklet on PAD discusses the details of this common malady in depth.

DONOHUE: Ever since I was 10 years old, I have had this problem: If I set something down or reach or touch something, I have to touch it again to make it feel right. When I hang clothes, I reach for a hanger and then put it back for a different one. I do things like this all day. I am 55. Am I crazy? — N.H. ANSWER: You describe obsessive-compulsive disorder. You’re not crazy. Many people have it. It’s an irresistible urge to perform a certain ritual, like touching things a second time or constantly washing the hands. That’s the compulsion, an act that relieves inner unease, the obsession. Help is available. Ask the family doctor to refer you to a specialist in this disorder. You’ve put up with it for too long.
