THE EXPENDABLES 2

Mindless and blood-soaked I referred to the first in this two movie series as “The Explodeables”. If we call this one “The Explodeables 2” readers would get the right idea. If your idea of good entertainment fun is watching most of the movie action heroes of the last 30 years all together in a single film cracking jokes and shooting people, this is the one for you. Right at the beginning of the film Arnold Schwarzenegger says to Sylvester Stallone, “This is embarrassing.” Stallone replies, “You got that right.” There is a more or less constant referral to other movies the actors have starred in. The actors clearly have no problem with tongue in cheek mayhem. Also appearing in short scenes are Jet Li, Bruce Willis, Chuck Norris and JeanClaude Van Damme. Van Damme is from Belgium, the land that has given us Smurfs, waffles and a B grade action hero but not much else. Still, it is a small country. Van Damme is the evil mastermind in this one. Stallone, Terry Crews, Jason Statham and Dolph Lundgren make up the core of the Expendables with the other actors coming in and out at more or less random intervals. Young Liam Hemsworth, late of The Hunger Games, has a brief appearance as a teammate and the courageous victim of evil-doer Van Damme. When the scriptwriter, Stallone, writes himself into a predicament, Norris or Schwarzenegger magi-

cally appear, slay a bushel or two of bad guys and then vanish again. It is very convenient. My movie buddy doesn’t go to see flicks that have “less than seven pages of dialog.” I saw this one solo. In terms of movie goodness, there is almost nothing here to attract the interest of the movie buff. The story is largely incoherent (I once saw a Portuguese zombie movie that made less sense, but I put that down to bad translation). The actors recite their lines and most of them show up only long enough to make a pay day. But the directing is competent, as we should expect form Simon West. West directed Con Air and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. He at least did a professional job. This kind of film is almost to movies what mime is to acting. It is something that people in any culture and any language can appreciate. Good guys shoot bad guys. But it is not subtle and not very interesting. In spite of many s’plosions and a huge body count this blood soaked comedy/action flick rates a sub-par two saw blades. The “R” rating is deserved for death dealing on a Biblical scale, but no naked people. This $100 million extravagance has already brought in over $132 million worldwide and may well creep into the profit zone eventually. It runs a tiresome one hour and 42 minutes. September is a lull month between Summer and Christmas. Things will get better.

wonderful experience. If you have never taken a river cruise, try one of these. You will never forget the experience. Both boats ply the Mississippi River year around. My favorite itinerary would be to sail out of New Orleans and head north stopping at Houmas House, Oak Alley, St. Francisville, Natchez, Vicksburg and Helena to Memphis. This cruise takes about eight days and loaded with history, beautiful scenery and sightseeing. These paddle wheel boats take you right into the middle of most towns and cities and all you have to do is walk off the boat and be in the middle of action. The boats cruise all the way north to as far as St. Paul, Minn. in summer. At night there is entertainment in the main lounge that will offer jazz and tunes from the old south to enhance your enjoyment. You may phone the Great American Steamboat Company by dialing 1-888-7495280 and American Cruise Lines at 1-203458-5700.

American Cruise lines has small, luxury boats that will take you here in comfort and travel with less than 100 guests.

RIM REVIEW • SEPTEMBER 19, 2012

IN THE KITCHEN | FAMILY FEATURES

The flavors of fall Fall officially arrives Saturday, Sept. 22. Recently there have even been a few evenings and mornings when the feel of autumn was in the air in Rim Country. To compliment that feeling of fall, here are a few recipes that feature the flavor of the season. A sweet start for crisp mornings

How about starting some crisp weekend morning with sticky, gooey, sweet and satisfying monkey bread. If your family loves cinnamon pull-apart bread, you can enjoy it even more when you make it together and add a fun twist. Making this flavorful treat is easy even for beginner bakers, especially with the help of Auntie Anne’s Apple Cinnamon At-Home Baking Kit. With step-by-step instructions and all the key ingredients you need, each kit lets you bake a number of tasty treats, such as an Apple Tart, Apple Cinnamon Soft Pretzels, or this Apple Cinnamon Pecan Monkey Bread. Get the whole family in the kitchen for some baking fun. You can find more recipes and where to buy this kit and the Original Baking Kit at www.auntie annesrecipes.com. As an alternative to this kit, you might look into using Rhodes or Bridgford frozen rolls, which can be found in the freezer section of grocery stores. APPLE CINNAMON PECAN MONKEY BREAD (PULL-APART BREAD) Mix time: 5 minutes; rise time: 30 minutes; preparation time: 15 minutes; baking time: 45 to 55 minutes 1 Auntie Anne’s Apple Cinnamon Baking Kit Flour (for dusting) Nonstick Spray 1-1/2 cups brown sugar 1-1/2 cups whole or chopped pecans 1 cup (2 sticks) melted butter 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon Bundt pan DOUGH PREPARATION

1. You will not need the baking soda packet for this recipe. In a large bowl, dissolve contents of 1 yeast packet (from kit) in 1-1/4 cups lukewarm tap water. Let sit about 2 minutes. Add 1 dough mix and 1 apple cinnamon oat blend to yeast/water mixture (also from kit); combine until dough ball forms. If using an electric mixer, follow Step 1 using a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer fitted with dough hook attachment, turn on low speed for 1 minute. Increase speed to medium-low and continue mixing for 4 more minutes. Dough should form a soft, smooth, and slightly tacky ball. Continue to Step 3. 2. Turn dough ball onto lightly floured surface and knead approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Add a small amount of flour if dough is too sticky. Place dough ball into large greased bowl. 3. Coat a sheet of plastic wrap with nonstick spray and place on top of dough ball, tucking sides down around dough (to prevent dough from drying out).

Meals should be as much about family fun and togetherness as they are about food - so make tonight’s dinner a special one. Try making simple, playful changes to your routine: host themed nights like Tex-Mex or Italian or serve breakfast for dinner. Sprinkle hash browns and eggs (any style!) with your favorite spice blend to take your breakfast staples to the next level. • Keep it simple. Need a flavorful dinner on the table

RIM HISTORY RIM HISTORY RIM COUNTRY HISTORY | TIM EHRHARDT

FALL HIKES AND HISTORY The weather of the past week has made it clear: fall is nearly upon us. For those who love to hike, it’s time to think about where we want to go to enjoy the wonderful fall colors. Many of these hiking areas also have some terriﬁc history. Let’s take a look at some spots very near the Rim, going from west to east across Rim Country. Fossil Creek

During much of the 20th century Fossil Creek was diverted from TIM EHRHARDT its natural course to feed the Childs and Irving hydroelectric plants. In 2005 normal water ﬂow was restored. This was still a very scenic area though. A main roadway was put through there in the mid 1920s. It became a scenic route and was advertised in the 1960s as part of a loop from Phoenix up through Payson to Camp Verde and back down today’s I-17. Fossil Creek Canyon was described this way in the May 21, 1963 Arizona Republic. “The pastoral mood ends here. The road takes you along the edge of a gorge 2,000 feet deep. Brilliant red rock formations crowd the deep valley. At the bottom of the Canyon, you ease along past the cottonwood-shaded Irving Hydroelectric Plant of the Arizona Public Service Company; a modern addition in strong contrast to the petriﬁed objects that have been hardening in Fossil Creek for thousands of years.” There is also a hot springs nearby with

the remnants of a wonderful resort that was built in 1930 and burned in the early 1960s. Due to road closures, you cannot drive the route straight through to Camp Verde like you were once able to, but there are still plenty of hiking opportunities.

The Rim Trail subdivision, which you’ll pass through when headed to the Washington Park Trailhead, was patented by Bartolomeo Belluzzi in 1909, and his son Bert later patented the area now known as Beaver Valley.

Tonto Natural Bridge

Tonto Creek

David Gowan is generally credited with being the ﬁrst white person to have come across this incredible natural wonder. Gowan was a miner from Scotland who settled the area around the bridge. In the late 1890s his nephew David Gowan Goodfellow arrived from Scotland, fell in love with the area, and patented the bridge in 1921. The wonderful historic lodge at the bridge was built in the 1920s and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Trails abound with incredible natural beauty.

Less than a mile from where Zane Grey’s Cabin was located prior to burning in the 1990 Dude Fire is Tonto Creek. The Highline Trail cuts through the landscape, offering a variety of hiking opportunities around it. Go west on the Highline Trail from the Tonto Fish Hatchery Road and be just south of the old cabin site and the old A.L. Babe Haught Homestead. Haught was one of Zane Grey’s guides and a well-respected hunter in the area. You can also take the trail that he used to go on top of the Rim, the Babe Haught Trail, which will give you a great view of the area. Less than a mile east from Tonto Creek lays Dick Williams Creek, a tributary of Tonto Creek. Not a whole lot is known about the man that this creek was named for. He may have been a Hashknife cowboy who changed his name upon coming to the area. Further east is Horton Creek, named for L.J. Horton who was there around the time of the Pleasant Valley War. At the headwaters of Tonto Creek is the Tonto Fish Hatchery, which was built during the 1930s and provides ﬁsh for many streams across the region.

Rim Trail/Washington Park area

During the 1880s efforts were made to build a railroad that would connect Flagstaff with Globe. It was called the Arizona Mineral Belt Railroad and was to come through the Payson area. Excitement abounded, but ultimately the railroad never came. However the start of a tunnel did come and that makes for one of the more scenic hikes in the area. It is reachable from either the Washington Park Trailhead under the Rim or from FR 300 on top of the Rim. Numerous other trails are located in this area, including one to an old ﬁsh hatchery that existed for a brief time in the 1930s, established by Elmer Pieper and Jay Vann. There aren’t many signs left of the old hatchery, but the area is very beautiful.

ors. It gets its name from the See family, which lived in the area at some point prior to 1900. That’s where the story gets fuzzy. It’s generally been believed that John See and his wife Annie were the ones who lived there. Some variations on the story allege that John killed Annie in this area, though records seem to indicate that the alleged murder actually occurred in Tonto Basin. I’ve never been able to find a record that affirmatively puts the Sees there, but it’s clear that they were in the region and likely there at one point. Ernest Sweat patented land in See Canyon in 1924, though it’s important to note that this land primarily encompasses where Mountain Meadow Ranch is. See Canyon Summer Homes was put in by the Forest Service in the early 1950s and later became deeded land. See Canyon was one of several Forest Service leased subdivisions built during that era. The Kiser family bought Sweat’s property in the late 1920s or early 1930s and reportedly they did some bootlegging there. A hike to the See Canyon Spring makes that statement seem pretty plausible, as there’s plenty of places where you could hide stills. Frenchman Isadore Christopher, who branded CI and had a mail order bride, first settled Christopher Creek itself. When he left, John Bowman settled at Christopher Creek and patented the land in 1917 that now forms the heart of the area.

two (just make sure to keep it all fire safe). • Wine - Good wine doesn’t have to be complicated. Hillary Stevens, winemaker for The Naked Grape wines says, “In my house, the host picks the wine! I recommend picking one that showcases your personality. If you’re feeling bold, try a robust Cabernet Sauvignon, and if you’re feeling sassy, try a crisp Pinot Grigio.” For your next feast, she recommends The Naked Grape’s newest offering, Harvest Red Blend, a medium-bodied red wine blend with juicy flavors of raspberry and red plum. • Recipes - No matter what your main dish, make sure you have side dishes that are also full of flavor. This recipe for Oven Roasted Root Vegetables is an easy, elegant addition to any table. The harvest season is the best time to serve fresh vegetables, and roasting them sweetens their flavor. Add fresh herbs for just the right highlight - with very little work from you. OVEN ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES Preparation time: 35 minutes; roasting time: 50 minutes (total time to get to table: an hour and 25 min-

utes); makes: 8 servings Vegetable cooking spray 3 medium red potatoes (about 1 pound), cut into 1-inch pieces 2 cups fresh or frozen whole baby carrots 1 pound celery root (celeriac), peeled and cut into 1inch pieces (about 2 cups) 1 rutabaga (about 3 pounds), peeled and cut into 1inch pieces (about 6 cups) 2 medium red onions, cut into 8 wedges each 2 medium parsnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 1-1/2 cups) 5 cloves garlic, cut into thin slices 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves or fresh thyme leaves 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 cup Swanson Vegetable Broth (Regular or Certified Organic) Heat oven to 425 degrees. Spray 17-inch-by-11-inch roasting pan or shallow baking sheet with cooking spray. Stir potatoes, carrots, celery root, rutabaga, onions, parsnips, garlic, rosemary and oil in prepared pan. Roast vegetables for 30 minutes. Pour broth over vegetables and stir. Roast for 20 more minutes or until vegetables are fork-tender.

Daniel Rodriguez, left in photo at left, presented a TCCA program in 2010. Following the concert, Gene Sampson, right in photo at left, of Payson presented him with a medallion (photo above) cast from the debris from the World Trade Center disaster of Sept. 11, 2001. The debris was taken to the landfill on Staten Island and sanitation workers made the medallion. Sampson, like Rodriguez did work at Ground Zero following the 9-11 attack.

Standing strong with song The memories of 9-11 are fresh on our minds following the eleventh anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon and the continued violent protests in the Middle East against the U.S. still unfolding, there is no better balm than to stand strong with song. That balm will be offered when Daniel Rodriquez and Marla Kavanaugh launch the Tonto Community Concert Association’s 2012-2013 season with a performance at 2:30 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 30. Rodriquez gained fame and became known as America’s Beloved Tenor following the attacks of 9-11. It was fate that brought Rodriquez, a New York police officer, into the spotlight after Sept. 11, 2001. While a country in mourning looked for answers, his stirring a cappella renditions of “God Bless America” and the National Anthem brought renewed hope to America and introduced Rodriquez to the international stage. Since that memorable performance Rodriguez’s touring has brought a myriad of experiences, including the 2002 Winter Olympics, a PBS Memorial Day Concert, regional opera, numerous television appearances and meeting his bride, New Zealand soprano Marla Kavanaugh. Kavanaugh is an established opera performer and recitalist, with credits including a performance with Plácido Domingo and the Los Angeles Opera. The couple now concertize together performing a diverse musical program encompassing musical styles from opera to popular song.

Their program will be presented at the Payson High School auditorium. Subscriptions to the eight-concert series can still be purchased for $90 per person. Single tickets are $35 as available. Children and youth under the age of 18 will be admitted free when accompanied by a ticket holding adult. Out of town guests, accompanied by a season ticket holder, may purchase a ticket for $15.

The TCCA 2012-2013 season will feature varied acts featuring entertainers, singers, and musicians to dazzle and delight Rim Country residents and guests. These engaging performances, enchanting music, and captivating songs are sure to create some wonderful memories. The remaining concerts scheduled for the 2012-2013 season: The Abrams Brothers, 7 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 17; 42Five, 2:30 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 4; Aleron Trio, 7 p.m., Friday, Nov. 30; Masters of Motown, 7 p.m., Jan. 22; The Legacy of Floyd Cramer featuring Jason Coleman, 7 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 21; Ricky Nelson Remembered with Matthew and Gunnar Nelson, 7 p.m., Saturday, March 2; Sidestreet Strutters, 7 p.m., Monday, May 6. The Abrams Brothers will share country-flavored music that merges the sounds of Bob Dylan and Arlo

Guthrie with their own homespun panache to create never-before-heard music. 42Five calls itself an instrumental band with no instruments - it’s not magic or make believe, it’s simply the voices of five guys: Ryan, Earl, Geoff, Danny and Layne – known better as 42Five. This award-winning a capella quintet is the entertainment for all ages, for all families and for all size audiences. From the trumpet to the drums, you’ll hear it all from their voices without a glimpse of shiny brass or drumsticks scattered on the floor. This new, innovative group is setting the bar high and using their technique to bring to life vocal impossibilities. The San Francisco-based chamber music Aleron Trio performs in place of the Prima Trio, which had to cancel with the TCCA due to a scheduling conflict. The Aleron Trio’s members represent three countries – violinist Solenn Seguillon is from France; cellist Anne Suda is from the U.S.; and pianist Teresa Yu is from Taiwan. Their mission is to present chamber music to as broad a range of audiences as possible, whether performing in cathedrals, museum galleries, intimate chapels or the traditional concert hall.

Extend your garden enjoyment Strategies for growing edibles later into the season BY MELINDA MYERS NATIONALLY KNOWN HORTICULTURIST, TV/RADIO HOST, AUTHOR AND COLUMNIST

Don’t let fall or potentially frosty temperatures stop you from enjoying garden-fresh produce. Extend the nutritional value and homegrown flavor into your fall and early winter meals with the help of short season crops and season extending strategies. Lettuce, spinach, radishes, turnips, and beets are quick to mature from seed to harvest. Plus, the cooler temperatures enhance their flavor. Simply count the number of frost-free days left in your growing season and compare it with the number of days from planting to harvest listed on the seed packet. Protect these late plantings and other vegetables from chilly fall temperatures with cloches, coldframes and floating row covers. Many of these devices have long been used by gardeners to jump start the season in spring and extend it much later into fall. These devices trap heat around the plants, protecting them from frosty temperatures. Convert gallon milk jugs into garden cloches for individual plants. Remove the bottom of the jug and slide it over the plant. Use the cap to capture heat or remove to ventilate your homemade cloche on sunny days. Or purchase reusable cloches with built-in ventilation. Originally made of glass many of the newer cloches are plastic, making them more affordable, easy to stack and portable. You can make your own coldframes. Many gardeners convert discarded windows, a bit of lumber and nails into a homemade shelter for their plants. The window size usually determines the size of your coldframe. Just

make sure you can reach all the plants inside. For best results your frame should be higher in the back than the front so water and melting snow can drain off. And if possible, facing south for better warming. The Internet and garden books are filled with plans. I prefer the construction-free, all-purpose garden fabrics. Simply drape these floating row covers (seasonextending fabrics) over your crops. Anchor the edges with rocks, boards, or wire wickets. The fabric traps heat around your plants, but allows air, light and water through, so there is no need to uncover the plants during the day or for watering. Increase the ease of season-extending fabrics with low and tall frost pop-up covers and plant protection frost covers from Gardener’s Supply. The frames are fitted with all-purpose garden fabric to create protective tents. You can protect new plantings and extend your harvest by protecting plants down to 24 degrees. With a little preparation you can keep enjoying freshfrom-the-garden flavor long past the traditional end to your harvest season. For more gardening tips visit www.melindamyers.com

TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS

Where to have Thanksgiving? AN EXTRA TRAVEL TALK FOR HOLIDAY PLANNING

Turkey day this year is November 22 and it is traditionally the time for families to come together to celebrate and give thanks. Today, families are strung out all over the map and getting the clan together could be a problem. You and yours may be planning to visit places like New York City and sample the Big Apple for several days. Many people take the entire week off and fly to Hawaii for sun and relaxation or perhaps you would rather go to near-by Palm Springs and stay in one of the spas. Closer to home is greater Phoenix. The weather will be almost perfect this time of year and if your family is in Arizona, California and/or New Mexico, Phoenix just might be the perfect location to call the clan together. It’s not a far drive for your family and there is so much to do there. Phoenix is known for its resorts and fine hotels, which will be serving wonderful Thanksgiving meals permitting you and your family to relax and enjoy time together without having to cook and mess up the house. Some properties even allow dogs and cats so you can bring them along also. Thanksgiving day is football day and you and the family may wish to just hang out in your hotel suite and munch on the goodies you lay out for all to enjoy. There are things to do in Phoenix area also. You and the family can take a desert hike, go shopping at the Biltmore, in old Scottsdale, at Desert Ridge, or Chandler Mall. In Fountain Hills, the Fountain Hills Thanksgiving Day Parade will be the only one in the area. You should also decide early if you and your family will congregate at a resort or nice hotel and where you all may also enjoy Thanksgiving dinner together. The Phoenix area hotels that will be serving a Thanksgiving dinner include The Fairmont Scottsdale Princess, The Phoenician, JW Marriott Desert Ridge, Hyatt Gainey Ranch, Royal Palms, Arizona Biltmore and the Marriott Buttes. Top of the Rock is a favorite with many who reside in Phoenix since it serves turkey dinner with a southwestern flair and a great view of the city. The Phoenix Zoo is scheduled to be open Thanksgiving Day and this will be a big hit with the young ones. Come during the evening time and enjoy the holiday lights – the staff and volunteers at the zoo go all out to create an incredible display. If a more formal venue is not appealing to you and the family, consider Rustler’s Roost: an old-western steakhouse that sits atop South Mountain overlooking the Phoenix Valley. You are greeted by a large cow in a pen beside the front door. Inside, a slide (or stairs) leads you into the restaurant. There is live country western music and the food is very good. You might also consider The Salt Cellar: An underground seafood restaurant. The Salt Cellar is an excellent choice for Thanksgiving dinner, offering their usual menu and five or six other holiday options. Alternative choices – DAY: Rawhide at Wild Horse Pass. Built with the spirit of the Old West, Rawhide is Arizona’s largest western-themed attraction. You and the family can pan for gold, eat a rattlesnake, or take a hayride. There will be 150,000 lights, including a 100foot tall “tree of lights”. There is also a Six Gun Theater Show, Santa’s stable-animals in the petting ranch and even Santa Clause will be there. At NIGHT: Catch a movie! In fact, if you are like me and into movies, there are numerous theatres in and around greater Phoenix where you can take in all those that interest you and the clan. Here is a list of some other restaurants that will be serving Thanksgiving dinner: A. J.’s Café at Crowne Plaza San Marcos Golf Resort at One San Marcos

Metro Services photo

It isn’t too early to start making plans for a Thanksgiving celebration at a Phoenix or Sedona resort or taking a holiday cruise.

Place, Chandler, $27.95 per person; Arrowhead Grill at 8280 W. Union Hills Drive, Glendale, $50 per person; Avanti, 2728 E. Thomas Road, Phoenix, $34.50 per person; Bill Johnson’s Big Apple with five locations in the Valley, $15 per person; Bistro 24 at RitzCarlton, 2401 East Camelback Road, $80; Black Angus Steakhouse, with locations in Phoenix, Mesa, Glendale, Chandler and Goodyear, $16 per person. These are only a few. You may have your favorites in the Valley. It’s good to begin planning now. Most of the restaurants and hotels fill up over the Thanksgiving period as you might imagine. If greater Phoenix is not to your liking, consider Sedona – it’s quiet and peaceful, with beauty all around and wonderful resorts and hotels. There will be activities and interesting shopping opportunities available to the whole family here during the Thanksgiving weekend. You can take a drive around some of the key sightseeing points in the area as well as relax and enjoy the good air and mild temperatures at this time of year. The resorts tend to be pricey but you can look into those at L’Auberge and Yavapai Enchantment Hotels. These are some of the best and each will serve memorable Thanksgiving dinners. Not far away is the Cliff Castle Casino with two restaurants: Storytellers and Cucina Rustica. You’ll find here a very nice buffet, also. In Sedona many recommend T Carl’s with its Thanksgiving buffet, as well as the Golden Goose Café in West Sedona at 2545 West Highway 89-A - here will also be a very nice buffet in a casual setting.

Also, consider Rene at Tlaquepaque - up-scale and very nice along with the Hilton Sedona and the Los Abregados resort. If your family has come quite a distance to meet in Sedona, you might also consider taking them to the south rim of the Grand Canyon one day. If you are now alone and no family to be with, why not consider a cruise or tour? As a member of one of these you will quickly make new friends. Contact a travel agent and they will offer several suggestions for you to be away during the Thanksgiving period. One tour company to contact for information is “Singles Travel” offering a six-day package to London departing November 18. Packed with things to do is exciting theater going and a “pub-crawl” for Thanksgiving and you would spend a day in the country at Stonehenge. Phone 1-877-765-6874 for more information. A cruise is always a good place to meet new friends. Almost all ships have activities and parties for singles. Some lines put on dance partners for the ladies. The whole family may vote to get together at Disneyland in Southern California. It has many hotels in various price ranges and the kids will have the time of their lives.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Someone has some suggestions to offer regarding your new project. You might find them helpful. Remember to avoid speculation and to stick with just the facts, Lamb. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) An old friend suddenly reappears. Whether this proves to be a boon or a bane in the Bovine’s life depends on the reason for this surprising reappearance. Be cautious. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Vital information finally emerges, allowing you to make that important personal decision. You can now move your focus to an upcoming professional development. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might not like seeing so many on-the-job changes. But some of them could open new opportunities for the Moon Child’s talents to shine to your best advantage. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) An apparently solid-gold opportunity beckons the Lion. But check to see if all that dazzle isn’t just a sprinkling of surface glitter. Check it out before making a commitment. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) A close friend could offer advice on how to handle a difficult family matter. But in the end, the decision has to be made based on what is best for you and those you love. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Family problems are best worked out with all those concerned contributing suggestions that will ease tensions. Stay with it until a workable solution is found. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Expect to hear more about an offer that has piqued your interest. You earn respect for insisting on solid facts, not just a fancy talk about potential opportunities. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) What seemed to be a reasonable workplace request might need to be defended. Don’t fret. You have both the facts and a surprise ally on your side. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) A bit of capriciousness might be just what you need. Plan to kick up your heels in a round of fun and games with family and friends this weekend. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Although some of your plans might have to be put on hold, things do begin to take a turn for the better by midweek. Your financial crunch also eases. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Your financial picture begins to brighten by week’s end. There are also favorable changes in your personal life. Someone you care for has good news to report. BORN THIS WEEK: You seek balance, but not at the expense of justice. You would make a fine judge. © 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

Restless legs ruin sleep BY PAUL G. DONOHUE, M.D. 2012 NORTH AMERICA SYND., INC.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have suffered with restless leg syndrome for 25 years. What causes it? Is there a cure? I do take Requip. Some say that having the veins in your legs stripped helps. Does it? — C.K. ANSWER: Stabbing pain, a burning feeling and a creepy-crawly sensation in the legs are some of the ways people describe restless leg syndrome. The sensation mostly comes on in the evening when sitting in a chair or, more often upon going to bed. The night is punctuated with interruptions of sleep, as the sensations wake a person. They drive the person to get up and walk about until these annoying feelings go way. Walking does get rid of them, but the respite is only temporary. The attacks reach peaks at midnight and again around 4 a.m. For most, a cause cannot be found. Sometimes it’s a family affair, passed by the parent to the children. In a few instances, iron deficiency anemia, renal failure and Parkinson’s disease are associated with it. The anemia connection is worth checking out, since it has a definite cure — iron tablets. The medicine you mention, Requip (ropinirole) is one often prescribed for this problem. If you’ve been taking it for some time without relief, you ought to try some of the other medicines used for it. Mirapex (pramipexole) and Neurontin (gabapentin) are two others. A new variety of gabapentin called Horizant comes as an extended-release tablet, so medication is delivered to the body throughout the night. A warm bath before going to bed, coupled with a leg massage afterward, often can cut down on the number of attacks and their intensity. Restricting alcohol and caffeine works for some people. Removing leg veins will not help. The booklet on restless leg syndrome and nighttime leg cramps goes into greater detail on both these subjects. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue — No. 306W, 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: My mother has lived in an assisted-living facility for two years. She’s mentally clear, but physically unable to take care of herself. The last time I visited her, a nurse was taking her blood pressure. She told me that my mother’s pressure in her right arm was normal, but the pressure in her left arm was 165 over 95. Which is her true blood pressure? — E.L. ANSWER: A 10-point discrepancy in blood pressure between the two arms is considered acceptable. With a larger difference, the actual blood pressure is the higher one. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: How does pancreatitis relate to cancer of the pancreas? Is it an early stage of that cancer? — D.B. ANSWER: Pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas brought on by many different conditions, including viral infections. Pancreatitis is not an early stage of cancer. Chronic pancreatitis, a long duration of pancreas inflammation, is a slight risk for eventual development of pancreatic cancer, but even it is not a common prelude to cancer. 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 32853-6475.
