Memories cloudy, but music’s still mighty fine Organizers discuss past and future of jazz series BY TERESA MCQUERREY REVIEW EDITOR

Funny thing. Memories get cloudy. It happened last week when I sat down with Gerry Reynolds and John Shevlin to do a story about the 10th anniversary — or maybe it’s the 11th — of the Payson Jazz Concert Series. Neither was certain which anniversary the series is celebrating this year — but they agreed it was a significant one. Computer archives are a wonderful thing. As I prepared to write this story, I put two words in the search parameters; two words I was close to dead certain were in every item the Roundup has ever published about the Jazz Concert Series: “Gerry Reynolds.” Reynolds submits the information, and photos when available, and he’s the contact person for every performance. My search of the Roundup Web site brought up 268 articles to review. The first entry was a letter — from John Shevlin: Jazz Concert A Welcome Alternative Thursday, August 29, 2002 Editor: Last Sunday afternoon, Gerry and Judith Reynolds, in association with JazzinAZ, presented the third of monthly jazz concerts at the Senior Circle. Singer Delphine from the Valley was the highlight of the program, and played to a standing-room-only crowd of more than 100. Thank you, Gerry and Judith, for bringing this most welcome musical alternative to the Rim country. We needed that. May we have many more. J.B. Shevlin, Payson The next entry was probably the first story I wrote about the series after I returned to the Payson Roundup from a 14(or maybe it was 15)-year (as I said, memories get cloudy) absence from the Rim Country. Between Shevlin’s letter and my article, my best guess is the series started in the summer of 2002 … So, Payson’s Jazz Concert Series is 11 years old (or is it 10? … You don’t turn 1 until you’ve been around a year, so is it the same for a concert series?). According to Reynolds, he and some friends were sitting around his kitchen table and talking about how nice it would be to have someplace closer to go to for good jazz; someplace closer than the Valley.

Christopher Creek loses beloved artist BY J.J. HANNUM SPECIAL TO THE RIM REVIEW

Richard Proulx was one of the most colorful people to ever reside in Christopher Creek. He lived in what he called “Proulx Place” — his little rainbow-colored bungalow in the majestic mountains in the shadows of the Mogollon Rim. Although he lived only seven short years here, he soon became renowned for his outrageous humor, his many colorful stories and his wonderful artwork. His art encompassed many forms, but his favorite pieces often dealt with the political humor of life. Richard was born in Amesbury, Mass. on Jan. 18, 1933, to parents Gerald and Irene. He was a good Catholic boy attending St. Anthony’s High School, before enrolling at Boston College to study pharmacy. His ﬁrst position as a pharmacist was in Reno, Nev. and from there he moved to Medford, Ore.

After taking an early retirement, Richard became a world traveler. He visited more than 30 countries and often he would regale us with his many hilarious times abroad. We had numerous Saturday night evening dinners at Anne Marie Brown’s (whom he really called Anna Maria in that French accent of his) and we would drink and holler late into the night. Other regulars at these gatherings included Larry Hannum, Gene Carlson and Deb Casillas, among other Creekers who would hobble on over when they heard our laughter. In retirement Richard partook in many activities both in Payson and Phoenix. He enjoyed his painting, swimming at the YMCA, losing money at the many casinos all over Arizona, and trying to get his butt down the slopes at the local ski resorts. Last summer and fall, he was enrolled in an art class at Gila

Community College in Payson, when during one class a student told him she didn’t understand his style of painting. Well, I am happy to be a proud owner of an original Proulx, which hangs in the living room of our Creek house. When we all got together in Phoenix, we always went to his favorite restaurant, Pappadeux, for the clams. Here in the mountains, we spent many fun times at Diamond Point, except for the time Anne Marie almost had us removed from the premises. Richard’s greatest companion here in the Creek was his beloved Jack Russell, Miss Daisy, who enjoyed morning and afternoon walks to the doggie park. Her companions Noelle, Pacho and Max also joined her attended by their owners Anne Marie and Deb. Richard succumbed to lung cancer on May 21, 2013 at the Gardiner Home, Hospice of the Valley, in Phoenix.

He did not go gently into that good night; he had his last smoke and a piece of fudge when he was close to the end. One thing about Richard; he wanted to die in his own way and in his own time. He lived to be 80 years old. Richard is survived by his brother Normand of Petaluma,

Calif. and a slew of nieces and nephews (19). He was laid to rest on June 20, 2013 at the Petaluma, Calif. Calvary Cemetery. A memorial gathering for the spreading of his ashes in this beautiful mountain town he called home, will take place later in the year. We will all miss him dearly.

popular standard cruise lines such as Carnival, NCL, Royal Caribbean companies and then up a notch are the popular premium lines of Princess, Holland America Line and Celebrity and then further up are Oceana, Crystal, Silversea and several more. First class boarding will occur at a special location as well as first to debark when the cruise is over. Should you be concerned about being bored? No, bring some reading material just in case. There are daily activities scheduled by the cruise staff beginning with morning exercises, then swimming, sunning, perhaps lectures regarding the ports you are going to visit, cooking classes, movies available in a theater or in your cabin and yes, there is the casino! Entertainment occurs mostly in the evening both in the lounges/bars and in the main theater. At least twice or three times during the week a large production show is scheduled and do plan to attend these. They are really spectacular in most of the larger ships today. What to wear? I find jeans and sport shirts are fine during the day and slacks and sweater at night. In one week there will probably be two nights, which are formal. For men, this is a tux or dark suit. I also have worn a blue blazer and good slacks on the same evenings with a business shirt and necktie. Ladies wear everything from a formal gown to nice “Sunday” dress. You can usually go ashore at most ports soon after the ship is tied up at the dock. There will be an announcement when you can go ashore. If you are on a ship’s tour your ticket will tell you time and place to meet and you will be escorted as a group off the ship to the waiting buses or vans. The first day of your cruise will be mostly busy. You properly label your luggage with your identification information, and then get yourself to the dock where you first view your monster ship. There will be baggage handlers available as soon as you leave the taxi that

will take the bags and deliver them to the ship’s crew who will take them aboard and to your cabin. This can take two to three hours before you find them in your cabin. You tip the baggage handlers after they take them from you. You then are directed to a check-in location where your tickets will be examined along with your passport. The ship may keep your passport for the duration of your cruise. The person checking you in will then give you your boarding pass which is about the size of a playing-card and on it will be a photo just taken of you at the check-in desk, your room number, dining room table number, the name of your dining room and, it will also be your room key. It’s a great idea. You will have to show this “room key” to security when you leave the ship in port as well as when you reboard. It sounds complicated, but it’s really very easy. Usually, about a half hour before your ship sails, there will be a lifeboat drill at which time everyone lines up on promenade deck usually and your name and cabin number will be read from a list. When you hear your name simply respond with “here.” Just before the drill you will find your lifeboat station printed on the back or your cabin door. Life jackets will be in a shelf overhead in your wardrobe. There will be a demonstration of how to wear the life jacket if needed. You then return to your cabin where you usually find your luggage and you can begin to move into your room by unpacking and about the same time you will hear three long blasts from the ships horn on the bridge which warns ships in the area that your ship will be moving into the waters to begin the cruise. After you finish “moving in” it will probably be time to find your way to your assigned dining room and select your first meal. Your time onboard will be outstanding and when you return to the ship’s home port will have already begun thinking of your next cruise. Bon voyage!

Things are breaking good for Bryan Cranston HOLLYWOOD — Everything’s breaking good for Bryan Cranston, who just won his third Emmy for “Breaking Bad.” He’s been playing President Lyndon Johnson in “Cold Comes the Night,” onstage in Cambridge, Mass., and presumably headed for Broadway, and next is taking on the biopic “Trumbo,” about screenwriter Dalton Trumbo. Trumbo went to prison in 1950 after he refused questions put to him by the House UnAmerican Activities Committee during its Communist witch hunt, and was blacklisted. Undaunted, he wrote screenplays for classic films such as “Papillion” (Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman); “Hawaii” (Julie Andrews); “The Sand-

piper” (Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton); “Exodus” (Paul Newman); and “Spartacus” (Kirk Douglas). He won two Oscars for “The Brave One” (1956) under the alias Robert Rich, and “Roman Holiday” (1953) alias Ian McLellan Hunter, with Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn, who won an Oscar as well. In 1975 and 1993, the Academy recognized him as the screenwriter of those films. Bryan Cranston will next star in the $160 million remake of “Godzilla,” out next May; and “Kung Fu Panda 3,” due in 2015. “Breaking Bad” fans will have the Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) prequel to look forward to on AMC.

RIM COUNTRY PLACE NAMES CHAPTER 28: PAYSON PIONEER CEMETERY, PART ONE

The year was 1882 and in July a renegade band of Apaches left a trail of blood and smoke from San Carlos to the East Verde River. Their final victims were John Meadows and his son Henry, whose bodies were lovingly placed to rest in what would become the Payson Pioneer Cemetery. These first graves are neatly set off by a low chain fence and marked by simple plates on the ground. This decor was placed in more recent years by a relative, Charlie Meadows of Kingman. The grove of trees that originally surrounded their graves has long since disappeared. The dates of death on the graves of John and Henry are wrong but this won’t bother many people. The grave of John Gray, on a raised plot built 1882 was the same year settlers were up with red sandstone blocks surveying for a new town site, and the Apache raid forced them to decide on a erences to the battalions on the veteran burial ground.

Their grandchildren spread throughout the Rim Country and became pillars in the growing community. Their ranch became the scene of many happy Saturday dances in the early days. It is fortunate that they were away from their Rim Trail Ranch in 1882 when the Apache war party camped on their property. The leader Nan-ti-atish sent raiders downstream to the Meadows Ranch in today’s Whispering Pines to rustle cattle. That is when they killed John Meadows and wounded his son Henry, who later died. Isadore Christopher, for whom Christopher Creek is named, had two mail order brides. The second one, Mary Hale Christopher, is buried here. She not only braved the wilderness but also came out to a husband whose house had recently been burned down by Apaches. The old bachelor had already lost is first mail order wife. She could not take the pioneer life, or him, and returned back east. Christopher was further plagued when during the 1882 Apache raid his house was burned to the ground. Fortunately he was away hunting at the time. When the detachment of Cavalry troops came that way in pursuit of the renegades they found what they believed to be the old settler’s charred body in the smoldering ruin. The soldiers conducted a burial service for the remains out behind the

house and then hurried on their way. When the hunter returned and discovered what had happened the tragedy of losing his home was almost turned to hilarity when he explained to his fellow ranchers that what the soldiers thought was his burned body was in fact the remains of a bear. Christopher had shot, skinned and hung it up to cure in his cabin. After the fire the settler set to work building a second log cabin, which stands today on the banks of Christopher Creek. Norman Ashby, who lived in that sturdy cabin from the age of 16, uncovered the bones of the bear while digging in his garden behind the house, confirming the story. The loneliness closed in again on Isadore and he applied for a second mail order bride. She was Mary Hale, born in England, and she became the love of his life. When she arrived in Payson Isadore, determined to make it work this time, had shaved, cut his hair and gotten a new suit. Mary stayed. They probably had a child who did not live, because Norman Ashby told of finding a letter in a chink between the logs from Mary Christopher’s sister back east. It was a letter of condolence for their sorrow. Mary died in 1905 after many happy years of marriage, and she is buried in the Pioneer Cemetery. This loss was more than Christopher could handle and after a few years he moved to San Bernardino, Calif. TO BE CONTINUED

Fabric art at its finest Quilt Roundup coming to town this weekend Get out those good, sturdy, walking shoes — the 9th Annual Rim Country Quilt Roundup is coming to town. The great regional show of quilts, décor items, clothing, accessories and more is Friday, Oct. 11 through Sunday, Oct. 13 at the Mazatzal Hotel & Casino Event Center. In addition to the show, there will be a special exhibit, BagIt, a display of bags and purses. Renowned quilter Sharon Schamber will be offering quilting classes this week. She is a Master Quilter in America and Arizona Quilter Hall of Fame inductee. While two of her classes are filled, registration appears to remain open

AT THE QUILT ROUNDUP A lecture on color basics by Alyce Leach is from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., Friday, Oct. 11. Leach will explore hue vs. tint, warm vs. cool, achromatic vs. complementary. Are you confused at times when it comes to selecting colors for some of your quilts? This lecture aims to help you understand, then select, color and value that make your quilts “pop.”

Leach will cover the technical parts of color, and discuss value and style. She’ll give you the guidelines on how to use the color wheel, not only to sort your stash, but also to assist you in buying fabric. Leach is an award-winning quilter from the Payson area who has been quilting for nearly 20 years and teaching for the past 15 years. She was honored to be a featured artist on the Arizona Quilters Hall of Fame in April 2008. Viewers choice and special awards will be presented at a special awards banquet on Oct. 12. There will be daily door prizes and a vendor mall with just about everything a new or veteran quilter could want.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A colleague might offer to open a door for you professionally. But before you walk through it, be sure this “favor” isn’t attached to an obligation you might find difficult to discharge. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your creativity, your persistence and your reliability could lead to a major career shift. Be sure to use that other Taurean trait, your practicality, when discussing what the job offers. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A changing situation might require some adjustments you might not have been prepared to make. However, flexibility in this matter could be the best course to follow at this time. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You’re in a period of fluctuating moods, which is not unusual for the Moon Child. Your emotions stabilize by the 25th. Meanwhile, try to hold off making major decisions until then. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) That keen sense of perception helps you hunt down those minute details that others overlook. And, of course, your Leonine ego will accept the expected praise with good grace. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Be careful not to be confrontational when raising a work-related issue. Better to make a request than a demand. And, of course, be prepared to back up your case with facts. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your ego might be hurt when a colleague turns down your offer to help. But accept it as a rejection of your offer, not of you. A friend from the past could re-emerge by week’s end. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) A flow of positive energy turns a work project you didn’t want to do into something you actually love doing. Now, take that attitude into your social, intimate life — and enjoy what follows. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Working hard to meet your professional goals is fine. But don’t neglect your private life, especially where it concerns your more cherished relationships. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) “Patience” remains the key word in dealing with an emotionally sensitive situation involving a close friend or family member. Help comes your way by week’s end. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) With new information coming in, it’s a good time to rethink some of your goals without taking suggestions from others, no matter how well-meaning they might be. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Making progress on your project is relatively easy in the early part of the week. A problem could arise midweek. But all goes swimmingly once it’s resolved. BORN THIS WEEK: Holding fast to your principles, no matter what, inspires others to follow your example. © 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

High blood pressure risk and medication BY PAUL G. DONOHUE, M.D. 2013 NORTH AMERICA SYND., INC.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have corrected my high blood pressure using medication, exercise and diet. My blood pressure is now between 105/65 and 110/70. I started medication when I had consistent readings in the high 130s and low 140s for systolic and 85 to 90 for diastolic. When considering all the warnings and risk factors for people with high blood pressure, do I fit into that category? Or, can I safely assume I no longer have high blood pressure? — D.R. ANSWER: Normal blood pressure is now defined as systolic (the top number) of less than 120 AND diastolic of less than 80. High blood pressure is systolic over 140 OR diastolic over 90. Any levels in between are now labeled “prehypertension,” indicating that these often go up over time. High blood pressure puts a person at higher risk for heart disease and stroke. In your situation, you said it exactly right. You have “corrected” your high blood pressure. If you were to stop your medicine, stop exercising and no longer be careful with your diet, we would expect your blood pressure to go back up, so it’s important to keep doing all those things — and you are to be congratulated on outstanding control. Medical authorities are still divided about whether treated high blood pressure gives the same low risk for heart disease and stroke as natural low blood pressure, but it is my opinion that after years of careful blood pressure control, the risks of heart disease lower to the same level as if you had never had high blood pressure, especially if, like you, you were treated early. High blood pressure is one risk factor for stroke. The booklet on stroke explains this condition that is deservedly feared by all. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue — No. 902W, 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 have a serious sweet tooth, and I’m concerned about getting diabetes. Mostly, I crave candy. My last fasting blood sugar reading was 109. I am an 84-year-old woman weighing 134 pounds. Do I have to worry? — K.T. ANSWER: A fasting blood sugar level of 109 is not normal, but is not high enough to say that you have diabetes (the number for that diagnosis is 126 or higher). It does mean you need to follow up with your doctor. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I had an exploratory laparotomy with a right hemicolectomy. The postoperative diagnosis was perforated appendix and hemicolectomy specimen. What is this? — L.J. ANSWER: Your appendix, the narrow wormlike tube that dangles from the base of the right side of the colon, became inflamed. Its slender central cavity was blocked, and bacteria grew in the blocked cavity. That caused swelling. The appendix finally burst and spilled bacteria into the abdominal cavity. Treatment included surgical removal of the appendix and the right side of the colon. You are proof that appendicitis (inflammation of the appendix) is not always a routine matter. 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.
