Firewise event They say it is not a matter of if, but when, a devastating wildfire will blaze through Payson. With many Rim Country yards overgrown with brush and debris, the chance of firefighters saving a home is knocked down significantly. Still, many residents are resistant to trimming their trees or Firewising their properties. At 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 28, residents are encouraged to attend a wildfire preparedness meeting at the Payson Public Library, 328 N. McLane Road. Jim Tye, chair of the volunteer-based Payson Firewise Committee, said representatives from the Arizona State Forestry, an insurance company and Payson Fire Department will be in attendance. The purpose of the meeting is to explain ways that residents can protect their homes from a forest fire. The motto of Firewise, a national organization, is “Remember, it is not if, but when we will have a forest fire. Be Ready.” When smoke from a forest fire is on the horizon it is too late to protect your home, Tye said. Topics include: How to reduce home insurance premiums; how to prepare a home for a wildfire; steps the fire department is taking to help protect homes; how to become a Firewise Community. Refreshments will be served. For more information, email Tye at jiftye@gmail.com or call 928-468-2453.

He was also to are wrong, or perhaps Hammons’ big one of the incorporators of this company.
After his time in Payson he was appointed to a variety of state positions by Governor Hunt, including superintendent of banks. After his time in state positions, he settled down in the Phoenix area in the citrus business. He died in 1954. This land sits a little over two miles from the historic heart of Payson, Main Street and McLane. Hammons wasn’t the first to file homestead paperwork on it. Charles M. McFarland filed on it in 1909 and Homestead Entry Survey No. 123 lists his name. McFarland was born in Mississippi in the early 1860s and moved to Texas at a young age before moving to Arizona. His sister, Susan Amanda, was involved in one of the significant events in the Pleasant Valley War. She was in the Blevins’ house in Holbrook when Sheriff Commodore Perry Owens busted through the door killing the Blevins boys. She patented 126.61 acres where the Rodeo Ranches subdivision is now located. McFarland had a variety of mining interests in the region and also served as justice of the peace. It appears though that he spent more of his time in Pleasant Valley, which may be why he did not patent this property. According to Hammons’ homestead paperwork, there was a house on the land when he came to it, but he expanded the
house. He grew some corn, wheat and Sudan grass on the property; 35 acres of it was used for growing crops and the rest of it was fenced pasture. Ralph Hubert, Mart McDonald, James Barger and Charles E. Chilson served as witnesses for him. Hammons was not there very long. He was named Arizona superintendent of banks in 1922, at which time he relocated to Phoenix. Development of the land into subdivisions began in the late 1950s. The first plat map was filed on Aug. 1, 1956. Maddock & Associates did the engineering work. An ad in The Arizona Republic on the same day that the first plat map was filed included the following description of the subdivision: “Payson Ranchos are offering 134 lots, where you can build the cottage of your choice and design. There are both wooded and meadow lots, located just two miles north of Payson on the Pine Highway.” The larger parts of the subdivision that sit west of McLane Road were not developed until the late 1960s.

Don’t pack away that shovel and trowel. Fall is a great time to plant a few new additions in the landscape. Here are just a few ideas for adding immediate and long-term beauty to your garden. Add cool season annuals like pansies, snapdragons, ornamental kale and stocks to brighten the fall garden. Those in milder regions will enjoy them throughout the winter. Consider adding cold hardy pansies. They provide color in the fall garden, survive most winters, and are back blooming in the spring just as the snow melts. Fall is also a good time to plant perennials, trees and shrubs. The soil is warm and the air cooler, so the plants are less stressed and establish more quickly. Select plants suited to the growing conditions and be sure to give them plenty of room to reach their mature size. Plant trees so the root flare, the place where the roots curve away from the trunk, is even with the soil surface. Dig a hole, the same depth as the rootball, and two to five times wider. Roughen the sides of the hole and backfill with the existing soil. Water thoroughly and spread a twoto three-inch layer of mulch over the soil surface, keeping the mulch away from the tree trunk. Follow a similar planting procedure for shrubs. Plant these so the crown, the place where the stems meet the roots, is even with the soil surface. And be sure to keep the mulch away from the stems. Plant daffodils, tulips, hyacinths and other bulbs in fall for extra color next spring. Set the bulbs at a depth of two to three times their height deep. Then cover them with

soil and sprinkle on a low nitrogen slow release fertilizer — organic nitrogen fertilizer promotes rooting without stimulating fall growth subject to winter kill. Start planting spring flowering bulbs after the nighttime temperatures hover between 40 and 50 degrees. Those tired of battling the animals may want to plant resistant bulbs such as daffodils, hyacinths, Fritillaria,
alliums, Camassia, glory-of-the snow, snow drops, squills, and grape hyacinths. You may find it is easier to avoid the problem than battle the animals with repellents and scare tactics. Plant a few short season vegetables in your garden for fresh-from-the garden flavor this fall. Simply count the days from planting to the average first fall frost to determine how many growing days are left in your area. Leaf lettuce, spinach, mustard greens, radishes and carrots are fast growing, cool weather tolerant vegetables that make great additions to the fall garden and your dinner plate. Extend the harvest season with the help of floating row covers. These fabrics allow air, light and water through while trapping the heat around the plants. No construction is needed; just loosely cover the plants with the fabric, secure the edges with pipes, boards or landscape staples and let the plants provide the support. So be sure to get a jump on next spring’s garden season with a bit of fall planting now. ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Good food for fall
This is the last week before the mad dash through the holidays start. Next week we get ready for Halloween; then for the next several weeks in November we count down to Thanksgiving and all that involves, with some of the do-ahead Christmas tasks thrown in for good measure. And then it’s December and we’re in the final stretch of non-stop cooking, baking, shopping and celebrating. So for now, take a breath and fix a nice cup of coffee or tea, sit down and make a plan. Start with New Year’s Eve 2015 — what will you be doing or what do you want to do — write it down; what about the week between New Year’s Eve and Christmas — same thing, visualize and write it down; keep back planning: Christmas; Thanksgiving; Halloween. Get out the calendar and make a note of all the events already scheduled from doctor and dentists visits to school and other events. Plug in everything else — the holiday stuff and take another deep breath and have another cup of coffee. Now, lots of hours may already be claimed, but probably not all of them. Those are the ones to devote to quiet, down time, made better with good food. What follows are some different recipes for those
quiet times that might become a little few and far between this fall and winter.
For more nutritious and flavorful recipes, visit CansGetYouCooking.com.
‘CAN’-DO COOL WEATHER DISHES
VEGETARIAN THREE-BEAN CHILI
During this hectic season it can be difficult to get a wholesome, homemade meal on your family table, day in and day out. But the solution for simple, delicious dishes is a lot closer than you think: the canned foods in your pantry. With a well-stocked pantry full of ingredients like canned tomatoes, kidney beans and pumpkin, preparing a nutritious, creative meal that your family will love is easy. Because cans seal in foods’ nutrition, freshness and flavor, they are one of the best ways to get food from its source to your table. Canned foods not only mean less preparation, they also ensure that you have quality ingredients on-hand year-round — especially during the winter months. As temperatures fall and your to-do list grows, don’t let your packed schedule compromise sharing a heart-warming, homemade meal with your family. Simply reach in your pantry — your “Cantry” — and unlock the goodness of canned foods that can help you make meals, such as Vegetarian Three-Bean Chili or Pumpkin Mac and Cheese, in no time.
Preparation time: 5 minutes; cooking time: 20 minutes; makes 6 servings. 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 large onion, diced 1 large green pepper, seeded and diced 2 large garlic cloves, minced 1 tablespoon chili powder 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1, 28-ounce can Red Gold Crushed Tomatoes (or similar) 1, 16-ounce can Red Gold Diced Tomatoes (or similar) 1, 15.5-ounce can Goya Pinto Beans, drained and rinsed (or similar) 1, 15.5-ounce can Bush’s White Kidney Beans, drained and rinsed (or similar) 1, 15.5-ounce can Progresso Red Kidney Beans, drained and rinsed (or similar) 1, 4-ounce can Old El Paso Chopped Green Chilies, drained (or similar) 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon chipotle Tabasco pepper sauce Chopped parsley (optional) Shredded cheddar cheese (optional) In a large saucepan over medium heat, in hot oil, cook onion, pepper and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes. Add chili powder and cumin, cook 1 minute. Add crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, pinto beans, white beans, red beans, green chilies, salt and
Tabasco sauce. Over high heat, bring to boil; reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 15 minutes to blend flavors, stirring occasionally. If desired, sprinkle with parsley and cheddar.
PUMPKIN MAC AND CHEESE
Preparation time: 20 minutes; cooking time: 30 minutes; makes 4 servings. 8 ounces rotini or medium shell pasta 5 tablespoons butter, divided 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1, 12-ounce can Nestlé Carnation Evaporated Fat Free Milk (or similar) 1 cup milk 1/2 cup Libby’s 100% Pure Pumpkin (or similar) 1-1/2 teaspoons salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 2 cups shredded Swiss or Gruyere cheese 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Bread crumbs to top dish, approximately 1/2 cup Cook pasta as package directs.

FROM THE COVER
Creative combinations of fresh, seasonal ingredients transform typical casserole dishes from mundane to gourmet fare. An example is this versatile and savory bread pudding, created by Irvin Lin, author of the blog, “Eat the Love.” This dish is ideal for a crowd and offers the flexibility of serving smaller portions as a side item or larger portions for a main course. “This bread pudding is perfect for a holiday brunch, easy lunch or casual holiday dinner,” Lin said. “It can be made ahead of time for convenience and served at room temperature or warmed up.”
SAVORY MUSHROOM, BACON AND GRUYERE BREAD PUDDING
Makes 6 servings. 1/2 pound bacon 1/2 pound (about 1/2 loaf) crusty sourdough bread 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves 1-1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided 1-1/2 teaspoons fresh ground pepper, divided 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 6 cloves garlic, minced 1-1/2 cups chopped onions 1/2 cup chopped celery 1/2 cup chopped red pepper 1/2 pound sliced button mushrooms 1/4 cup chopped parsley leaves 2 teaspoons dried oregano 4 large eggs 2 cups heavy cream 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Gruyere cheese, divided Place bacon in freezer to chill. This will help make it easier to chop. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Cut bread into 1/2-inch cubes and place in large bowl. Drizzle olive oil over bread and sprinkle with thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and garlic powder. Toss with spatula to coat evenly, then spread bread evenly in one layer onto rimmed baking sheet. No need to clean bowl yet. Bake bread for 20 minutes or until bread starts to turn golden. Remove from oven and lower oven temperature to 350 degrees. Remove bacon from freezer and finely chop it. In 3-1/2-quart oven-proof stovetop casserole pan, cook bacon over medium-high heat until crispy. Use slotted spoon to move bacon pieces to bowl lined with paper towel. Pour bacon grease out, but don’t wipe out pan. Add garlic to pan and cook over medium heat for 30 seconds or until it starts to smell fragrant. Add onions, celery and red pepper and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add mushrooms and cook until all vegetables are soft, about 5 more minutes. Season with remaining salt and pepper. Pour toasted bread into original large bowl and add vegetables and cooked bacon. Add parsley leaves and dried oregano, and mix together with large spatula. In medium bowl, whisk together eggs and cream. Pour over bread and vegetables, add 1/2 the shredded Gruyere cheese and mix with spatula. Pour entire contents back into casserole pan. Sprinkle top of pudding with remaining cheese. Place in oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until top of bread pudding has turned golden brown and cheese is melted. Serve warm.
RECIPE REIMAGINED
“Eat the Love” blog author Irvin Lin offers these variations and tips for a winning dish your guests will love: • Make the bread pudding vegetarian by omitting the bacon, using 1 tablespoon of olive oil to sauté the vegetables and adding 1/2 cup of smoked Gouda cheese to the filling. • If you can’t find Gruyere cheese, feel free to substitute Jarlsberg or Swiss. • To reheat the pudding if you prepare ahead of time, bake for 15 minutes in the oven at 350 degrees.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Some flashes of Aries ire might erupt as you confront an unusually bewildering situation. But you should be able to keep your temper under control as you work through it. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) That marriage ‘twixt the arts and practicality that Taureans excel at once again highlights your enjoyment of much of the week. However, you need to watch any sudden urge to splurge. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Even with all the pluses apparently outweighing the minuses, you still might want to defer an important decision to make sure you have all the facts you need. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) One or two problems might threaten to derail otherwise smoothly running situations at work or at home. But a few well-placed words should help get things back on track quickly. LEO (July 23 to August 22) This could be a good time for all you Leos and Leonas in the spotlight to open your generous Lion’s hearts and share the glory with those who helped you accomplish so much along the way. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You might want to get advice from someone who’s been there and knows these situations better than you do, before investing time or money (or both) in a questionable matter. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Be careful how you handle a workplace matter that seems out of place in the schedule you’ve prepared. Before you act, one way or another, find out who set it up and why. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your entertainment aspect is strong this week. Besides providing a wonderful break from everyday obligations, sharing fun times brings you closer to those you care for. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Having a weekend fun fest? Your friend or relative who’s down in the emotional dumps could perk up if you find a way to include him or her in your plans. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) If you’re in one of those “the Goat knows best” periods, you might want to ease up and try listening to what others have to say. You could learn something. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) That new challenge is getting closer, and you should be out there now showing facts and figures to potential allies to help persuade them to rally to your support. Good luck. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Getting a head start on holiday plans could help free up some time later to spend on other projects. Meanwhile, a colleague has some ideas that you might find worth discussing. BORN THIS WEEK: You are always there for others, and sometimes you need to be reminded that you need to be there for yourself as well.
