Historical Society celebration Join members of the Northern Gila County Historical Society Saturday, Nov. 1 at the Rim Country Museum as they celebrate the 30th anniversary of a State Fair triumph. There will be a celebratory cake served from the museum’s 10 a.m. opening until the treat runs out. Gila County won a Grand Prize in the 1984 State Fair - mostly do to Kerm Owens’ model of an old time sawmill. Mr. Owens had been retired from Kaibab Lumber since 1974, but still worked for them on and off when they needed a piece of equipment built. Late in the summer of 1984 they asked him to build an old-time sawmill and when he asked how long he had, the response was “about three weeks”. In three weeks he had the sawmill built with the boiler, saw, steam engine, logs and lumber stacks, but he did not have time to get it mechanized. It wasn’t until after the State Fair that he had time to get everything moving with the log going through the saw and the workers in motion. The NGCHS has a photograph of Kerm Owens holding the trophy that Gila County won in the 1984 State Fair; however the trophy stayed in Globe and attempts to locate it have not been successful. Charity Art Raffle Stop by Artists of The Rim Gallery, 618 N. Beeline Hwy., Payson, in the next week to see the beautiful art pieces and to get raffle tickets for a benefit for The Time Out Shelter. Betty Daily, Ruth Overton and Dusty Bahnson have donated their art to help the charity.

TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS
TRAVEL PLANNING FOR 2015
There’s only a short time before the Christmas and New Year holidays roll around and before we know it, 2015 will be on our calendars. If you are like me, you want to start planning your vacation for 2015 early in order to cover all the bases required for advanced reservations and printed information. Many of us will take a rather extended vacation using the car and should consider booking necessary hotel reservations in advance. Perhaps this will be the year for you and the family to visit or return to some of the very scenic state and national parks. In the KEN BROOKS middle of summer these areas are loaded with travelers doing the same thing you are. If you choose, you can avoid some of the crowds by visiting the parks early or later in the seasons. One idea would be to travel north and east to visit the Utah parks and then continue on to Wyoming to see the spectacular rugged mountains of the Grand Teton National Park. Later, travel on to see the carved mountains of Mount Rushmore and spend some time in the area of Yellowstone National Park before heading home. I recommend traveling this area in May or September. As I have suggested several times in this column, the whole family could enjoy a scenic auto trip driving up the West Coast from Los Angeles to San Francisco, and maybe on to Portland, Ore. and Seattle, Wash. If time and budget allows, extend the trip to include Vancouver, B.C. and perhaps even more and then head east to visit the Canadian Rockies before returning home. The Canadian Rockies just may be the most beautiful sight to be enjoyed in Canada and the highways are very good. If you have an RV or trailer you might also consider traveling the Canadian Rockies. Be sure to include Jasper, Lake Louise and Banff. I could travel this area a number of times and never tire of the spectacular scenery. I would again consider May or September to make this trip. How about flying to a major city situated on one of the Great Lakes such as Detroit or Chicago and boarding a small cruise ship to see the various points of interest on Lakes Ontario, Erie, Huron, Michigan and Lake Superior. This is an interesting portion of our country and I feel it is best enjoyed from the deck of a cruise ship. There are several companies doing these cruises and I suggest your contacting an experienced travel agent who will send brochures and other information regarding this type of itinerary as well as supplying the costs of such a trip. I did this once many years ago and will never forget it. Again, I feel compelled to suggest your booking a sightseeing trip using AMTRAK rail facilities. You could board a train heading east at Winslow where you can leave your car and travel a day or day-and-a-half and then get off the train to overnight and freshen-up and either renting a car to see

some interesting scenery nearby or reboarding the train traveling east to perhaps Chicago for some fascinating points of interest around this city or again board AMTRAK headed to Boston, New York City or even down to Florida. In Florida, rent a car to visit Orlando and its Disneyworld, Universal Park and other points of interest. You could also board a cruise ship departing Miami or Ft. Lauderdale for a week or longer cruise to the beautiful islands of the Caribbean before returning home via New Orleans and back to Arizona. If you don’t wish to take a longer trip such as one of those we have described, why not a vacation in Southern California. There is so much to see and do there with much of the area experiencing good weather temperatures through the summer period. Several of our friends rent rooms at sea-facing hotels to spend one and two weeks enjoying the sea-air and various points of interest nearby. There is also a good selection of resorts and spas in this area. Consult web sites for ideas and detailed information. Perhaps it’s time for a trip to Hawaii next year. Located 2,400 miles southwest of Los Angeles or San Francisco sits a set of some of the world’s most famous tropical islands. Oahu with its main city of Honolulu is probably where you would begin your trip. The flying time from the west coast takes a little less than six hours. The beaches of Waikiki are here and you should have made advanced reservations in one of the many nice hotels here. Plan to spend at least three days in Waikiki to allow time for tours to
Pearl Harbor and the memorial site of the December 7th, 1941 Japanese bombing that killed U.S. Navy men and women as well as the sinking of most of the Pacific Fleet. You also should take an organized tour around the island or rent a car for a couple days. Only 20 minutes away from busy Waikiki is the beautiful Hotel Kahala situated on several acres of sea-facing land that even has a pool, which allows you to swim with dolphins. This is a deluxe hotel with gourmet food, and a couple restaurants with some of the best service in the islands. There are name-brand hotels all over Oahu but only one Hotel Kahala. Other islands you can include in your Hawaii visit include Kauai, the Garden Isle which is rather quiet compared to Oahu and then Maui with spectacular beaches, golf courses and good roads through wonderful, tropical settings. Other less traveled Hawaiian Islands include Molokai and Lanai. The hotels and resorts on these two islands are very nice with few residents. Several airlines fly from the West Coast to the Hawaiian Islands, which include Hawaiian, Delta, U.S. Airways, American Airlines and United. All do a nice job, but I understand Hawaiian Airlines is the best flying the Airbus A-330 wide-body aircraft. Alaska is also very popular with summer travelers. Most take a 7-day or longer cruise out of either Seattle or Vancouver to cruise the towns along the Inland Passage, which include the Capital of Juneau. The sights are never to be forgotten and the Inland Passage is mostly sheltered sea and smooth. You will see tall mountains, open valleys and ice-
bergs. An Alaska cruise is always good to take the kids and grandkids with you. The cruise lines that will cruise to Alaska next summer include NCL, Carnival, Princess, Holland America Line, Oceania and Celebrity Cruises. Ask your travel agent which line may be the best for you and family. Be sure to take some of the shore tours while your ship is docked in port. You will miss a lot if you just walk around the little towns and consider yourself well traveled in Alaska. You need to take tours to get into this great state’s wild backcountry. A few seasoned travelers will travel to Tahiti next year. The islands of Tahiti, Moorea and Bora Bora are well known to many and here is where you can stay in a rented room situated just above the sea with water proof glass acting as flooring in part of your room. You can turn on lights located in the sea water below your cabin and watch the sea creatures swim by 24 hours a day. You will be given fish-food to attract the tropical beauties. The Tahitian beaches are also fine but some are loaded with sand crabs. Ask what the situation is at the hotel you are interested in booking. Tours and river and ocean cruises are booking rather quickly for next year so 2015 will be busy with American travelers. Don’t wait too long to book yours. Again, consult an experienced travel agent to answer your questions and book reservations. Ask them if they have been where you are interested in traveling to. Experience can make a difference. Happy planning!

AT THE MOVIES
FURY
No sugar coat for horrors of war in Brad Pitt’s latest In his 1998 novel of the last stand of the Spartans at Thermopylae Steven Pressfield asked, “What is the opposite of fear?” It turns out that the answer is love. “Fury” is about that kind of love. Five American soldiers in a tank crew served in North Africa, France and now at the very end Andy McKinney of the war, in Germany. Amaz- Reviewer ingly, the tank crew has remained intact and together, until just before the movie starts when one of their number is killed. His replacement has come directly from boot camp and instead of getting assigned to his Military Occupational Specialty as a clerk/typist, he must replace the slain tank crewman. “I have never been inside a tank,” he tells his new sergeant. Naturally enough, the hard-bitten veterans, comrades in many battles, have no use for the youth, a lad so inexperienced that he could easily cause the death of the entire crew. The boy becomes a warrior only when he is given a personal reason to hate the Nazis. By the climactic battle, he is a fully integrated warrior, a killer of enemies, a vengeful instrument of heavy-handed justice. The members are used to one another, which is not the same as liking one another. The sergeant, Brad Pitt as “Wardaddy” (they all have ‘war’ names) might be insane; he certainly has grave issues, but he puts his crew and his duty above any solutions to his own problems. Shia LaBeouf disappears into his role as the gunner, a believing Baptist who goes by “Bible”. Michael Pina plays the driver, a Mexican American they call “Gordo”. John Bernthal - who we remember with vast appreciation from the TV show “The Walking Dead” plays an ignorant, brutal bully known as “Coon Ass” due to his Cajun origins. He picks on the weaker crewmen at any opportunity and in general is very unpleasant to be around. Logan Lerman plays Norman, the teen replacement. He got his start in the big leagues at the tender age of 8 in the 2000 blockbuster “The Patriot”. The film makes it or breaks it in developing the relationships between these men; men who save for the accident of war would never have met, much less have come to a point where they would lay down their lives for each other. “No man has greater love than this, that he would lay down his life for another.” That is what this movie is about. How can such different men come to love each other so much that they can come to that glorious, terrifying and horrifying place where that loving sacrifice is possible? It stuns me to contemplate the answer, a conclusion beyond comprehension. The cast, particularly LaBeouf, but also young Lerman, we find convincing. David Ayer directs from his own script, which must be good for a director. Ayer has four other directorial notches on his belt, but is better known as a writer. He also wrote the screen-

play for “U-571”, the exquisite “Training Day” and the entertaining “The Fast and the Furious” and other lessor know films. Brad Pitt and David Ayer also produced “Fury” and I wish them well-deserved success with it. They allowed a budget of $68 million and started off well at the number one spot and a gross of $23 million over the three-day opening weekend. It is properly rated with a big, glowing “R” for gore, language and general horror of war which is not down played in the least. It is a long movie at two hours and 14 minutes. Buy the big popcorn and drink. The effects are excellent. The climactic battle scene has as much intensity as any put on the big screen. The historical accuracy, something I often pay too much attention to, is spot on. “Wardaddy” uses a captured Sturmgewehr 44 as his personal weapon, which would be reasonable. The filmmakers used the only functioning Tiger 1 tank in the world in the film, a first in movie history. They also used a collection of actual World War II Sherman tanks. Other military vehicles, weapons, uniforms and accouterments were also meticulously researched for use in the film. Fair warning, this film does not pretend to buffer or sugar coat the horrors of war. In one scene, German Werewolves, quite young boys conscripted at the end of the war and sent to fight with panzerfaust anti-tank weapons and courage, were shown to be predictably easy prey for the veteran American soldiers - once they had given themselves away by incinerating an American tank and crew. Other similar horrors in the film are common. But the skill of the filmmakers is such that we do not turn away. We can’t. Four spinning saw blades for “Fury.”

A freighter who stayed at the inn named Harry Brown struck Polly’s fancy. They courted and in 1903, when she was 20 years old, they were married. That year a terrible drought enveloped the Rim Country and put some ranchers out of business. However, the newlyweds established a ranch in Round Valley, and to begin their cattle business Polly had saved enough money to buy five head of cattle. [1] To supplement their income Harry freighted ore from the mine in Miami, Ariz., but that was cut short when he was thrown from his wagon and run over by the next wagon in line.

Polly had to confiscate the steel pucks from her shuffleboard game because the cowboys got to throwing them.” One Saturday night in 1959 during the dance, a jilted lover killed his girlfriend as she sat at the bar and then turned the gun on himself. Polly wiped up the blood and insisted the dance continue. For lighter fare she had picture shows in the dance hall every Saturday, which included some of the films Zane Grey had made in the Rim Country. The movie about Little Green Valley and the Henry Haught family was premiered here and brought a packed house. In the mid-1960s Polly sold the Elks Bar and Café to Jim Roller, who moved the bar into the dance hall and renamed it The Gay 90s Bar. [2] However, Polly Brown continued to be a familiar community personage, and the local newspaper Payson Roundup said, “The
name Polly Brown is synonymous with Payson.” Into her 80s she continued to help her grandson Jimmy Brown at roundups on the 76 Ranch. [3] In 1966 at the age of 83 she gained even more notoriety by being crowned Rodeo Queen. By this time she was dubbed, “Not only queen of the rodeo but queen of the cattle country.” As she prepared to lead the grand rodeo parade the newspaper heralded this unique queen saying, “Her court will consist of the area’s prettiest cowgirls. Each evening will find Polly with all the other girls at the community hall dances, which last far into the small hours of the night.” The Arizona Republic (Sept. 25, 1966) wrote, “To city folk a rodeo queen is some pretty young thing who can stay in the saddle at

Its queen has been in the saddle since she won’t tell.” Less than three months later Polly Hicks Brown was dead. She died Dec. 10, 1966, and after the funeral in the Presbyterian Church on Main Street she was buried in the family cemetery overlooking their old home site east of Rye. Also buried there are her husband, her only son Harry Jr. (who died in 1960), his wife Salena (who died in 1994), and two infant grandbabies. In November 1983 the Tonto Cowbelles had a granite headstone placed on her grave, carved by Ralph Garrels. It reads, “Tribute to a pioneer cattlewoman.” In her latter years when someone asked her about her “hard life”, she fired back, “Why, my life’s been full to the brim! I’ve had three babies and raised them; I’ve got six grandchildren. I’ve had my health and plenty of work to keep my busy. I loved Harry Brown enough to live under a mesquite bush with him. I’ve known pain and grief, and lots of happiness and pleasure. What more could a woman ask for?” SOURCES:
Oral history by Stan Brown with Sarah Lockwood Oral history with Salena Brown by Payson Middle School student Julie Williams; A tribute to Pioneer Cattle-
woman by the Tonto Cowbelles (1989) [1] Her daughter-in-law Salena Brown later recalled it was 27 head of cattle. The 5 head were mentioned by the Arizona Pioneer Women. In any case, the drought had made cattle relatively cheap. [2] Later it was bought by the John Greenleaf family and renamed The Winchester. On October 26, 1997 the building burned down. [3] Polly’s grandson Jim Brown ran the J-Bar-4 brand and ran cattle in the vicinity of Slate Creek, the old Watkins range. He bought it in 1971. NEXT: James Callaghan

COVER STORY | TERESA MCQUERREY
FOR THE
BIRDS Project FeederWatch starts Nov. 8 We love it whenever DJ Craig and other readers send in photos of our feathered friends. So, we’re featuring some of Craig’s previously unpublished bird photos and a story on bird watching in the edition of The Rim Review. The occasion is the Nov. 8 start of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s 28th Project FeederWatch season. Project FeederWatch is a winter-long survey of birds that visit feeders at backyards, nature centers, community areas, and other locales in North America. FeederWatchers periodically count the birds they see at their feeders from November through early April and send their counts to Project FeederWatch. FeederWatch data help scientists track broad scale movements of winter bird populations and long-term trends in bird distribution and abundance. Anyone interested in birds can participate. FeederWatch is conducted by people of all skill levels and backgrounds, including children, families, individuals, classrooms, retired persons, youth groups, nature centers, and bird clubs. Participants watch their feeders as much or as little as they want over two consecutive days as often as every week (less often is fine). They count birds that appear in their count site because of something that they provided (plantings, food, or water). New participants are sent a Research Kit with complete instructions for participating, as well as a bird identification poster and more. Participants provide the feeder(s) and seed. Then each fall participants receive the 16-page, yearend report, Winter Bird Highlights. Participants also receive the Cornell Lab newsletter. There is an $18 annual participation fee for U.S. residents ($15 for Cornell Lab members). The participation fee covers materials, staff support, web design, data analysis, and the year-end report (Winter Bird Highlights). Project FeederWatch is supported almost entirely by participation fees. Without the support of our participants, this project wouldn’t be possible. TO PARTICIPATE
• Sign up right away. During the season, it takes a few weeks from when you sign up for your kit to arrive with your ID number and for your ID number to be activated in Your Data. • Select your count site – Choose a portion of your yard that is easy to monitor, typically an area with feeders that is visible from one vantage point. • Choose your count days – Select two consecutive days as often as once a week (less often is fine). Leave at least five days when you do not count between each of your two-day counts. • How to count – Watch your feeders as much or a little as you want over your selected count days. Record the maximum number of each species visible at any one time during your two-day count. Do not add your counts together. • What to count – all of the individuals of each species in view at any one time; birds attracted to food or water you provided; birds attracted to fruits or ornamental plantings; hawks and other predatory birds that are attracted by the

birds at your feeders But do not count birds that simply fly over the count site, such as Canada Geese or Sandhill Cranes or birds seen on non-count days • Report your counts – Submit counts through the Your Data section of our website. HOW TO IDENTIFY DIFFERENT BIRDS
• Install the Project FeederWatch’s free Merlin Bird ID app on your smartphone or tablet and use it to help identify any mystery birds you see. • Choose a field guide A field guide can help learn even more about birds than just their identity. For many birders, a lifetime hobby began with a field guide that helped them put a name to the bird they saw. Both the Tonto National Forest Payson Ranger Station visitors center and the gift shop at the Northern Gila County Historical Society Rim Country Museum have birding books. We think that a field guide can help turn curiosity into a lifelong passion, while the wrong field guide and approach might lead to frustration and disinterest. How do you know which kind of bird guide to select? Here are features to consider as you select an ideal field guide for your needs. GEOGRAPHIC RANGE
Consider choosing a field guide specific to your particular area (for example, choose a guide that is an eastern or western version, or one targeted to the birds in your state). A guide that covers a broader geographic range (such as the whole United States) will have many more species included within it, which can lead to confusion. For example, if you are in the eastern U.S., you’ll see the Baltimore oriole, but
not the very similar Bullock’s oriole. An eastern guide will only present the Baltimore oriole. Pro Tip: We strongly recommend a book that shows the range map right next to the description. Some guides (especially older ones) have all the maps together in the back of the book, making it necessary to flip pages to confirm that the bird you think you are seeing is actually located where you are.

Birds abound FROM PAGE 6 IMAGES
Some field guides are filled with beautiful color photos of birds. While these can be a lot of fun to look through, it turns out that many birders prefer illustrated field guides and especially recommend them for beginners. The problem with photos is that it’s often nearly impossible to capture a real image of a bird that displays all of its characteristic features in an ideal way. Even if it does, the amount of detail and complexity in an actual photo can be distracting and confusing at times. A drawing, on the other hand, can be tailored in such a way that it highlights exactly the parts of the bird that you should be focusing on, making identification easier. Beginners may also struggle to identify a bird using photos when the bird that they’re seeing in real life doesn’t look exactly like that species in the photo. Drawings allow for more variation between the real bird you’re looking at and the image in the field guide. ORGANIZATION
Field guides aren’t like dictionaries. Most guides are arranged taxonomically, meaning that the birds are grouped according to their evolutionary relationships with one another. This is useful in practice because closely related birds often look similar to one another. For example, you see a duck. Turn to the “duck” pages in your guide, and look for the matching duck. It’s a fun challenge! Pro Tip: Some guides organize the birds by color, but we strongly recommend against these because they can be confusing and not intuitive. You could probably imagine how people might disagree on what color category to put the painted bunting (see photo) into… and we find it confusing to see the brown duck next to the brown sparrow. OTHER RESOURCES
Here are links some guides you might consider, in order from more complex to least complex: • National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds of North America, Peterson Guide, The New Birder’s Guide to Birds of North America (Peterson’s guide for new birders) and Backyard Birds (Field Guides for Young Naturalists (a small guide by Peterson, specifically for young birders). • There are also great non-book bird identification tools to consider. Cornell and Project FeederWatch have an online field guide at All About Birds and the new Merlin Bird ID app. Both are free. • Into bird watching and looking for more tips? You might also like to read BirdSleuth’s posts about teaching bird identification and how to choose and use binoculars for your class. PROJECT FEEDERWATCH HISTORY
Project FeederWatch has its roots in Ontario in the mid1970s. Through Canada’s Long Point Bird Observatory, Dr. Erica Dunn established the Ontario Bird Feeder Survey in 1976. After a successful 10-year run with more than 500 participants, its organizers realized that only a continental survey could accurately monitor the large-scale movements of birds. Organizers partnered with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology to expand the survey to cover the continent.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A rejection of your attempt to be friendly leaves you with two choices: Try again, or give up. If you want to make another effort, go slowly. Let things develop without pressure. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It could be a problem dealing with unfamiliar people who do things differently from what you’re used to. But rely on that strong sense of purpose to get you through this difficult period. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) To avoid neglecting a personal matter because of a demanding new workplace schedule, start prioritizing immediately. Knowing how to apportion your time takes a little while to set up. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) It won’t be easy to avoid some of the pressures that come with change. Best advice: Take things a step at a time, and you’ll be less likely to trip up while things are in a chaotic state. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) A much-talked-about workplace change could be coming soon. Be sure to get all the details involved in the process, and once you have them, you can decide how you want to deal with it. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You might still believe that your trust was betrayed, although the facts would appear to prove the opposite. But by the week’s end you should learn something that will help set the record straight. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Holiday plans could be a challenge because of shifting circumstances. But a more settled period starts by midweek, allowing you to firm up your plan-making once and for all. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) The facts continue to be on your side. So make use of them in dealing with any challenge to your stated position. Also, open your mind to the offer of help from an unlikely source. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) There could still be a communication problem holding up the resolution of a troublesome situation. Stay with it, and eventually your message will get through and be understood. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) A possible change in your workplace schedule might create a chaotic situation for a while. But once things begin to settle down, you might find that this could work to your advantage. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) A recent job-linked decision might need to be reassessed because of the possibility of finding benefits you might have overlooked. Check out all related data to help in the search. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) A personal situation you agreed to might not be as acceptable to the other person involved in the matter. Avoid pressuring and bullying. Instead, seek common ground by talking things through. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gift for touching people’s minds as well as their hearts. You would make an outstanding educator. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.
