AROUND THE RIM COUNTRY Day of the Dead art show Down the Street Art Gallery on West Main Street is having their Dios de los Muertos or “Day of the Dead” art show again this year. Come join the celebration in honor of our departed loved ones First Friday, Nov. 2 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. It is believed that the spirits of the dead visit on Oct. 31 and leave on Nov. 2, so alters are assembled with offerings of food, often in shapes of skulls & skeletons, flowers and the deceased person’s favorite things. There is a lot of humor involved with the Mexican Day of the Dead festivities as they “laugh in the face of death!” Since it is very close to Halloween Eve, you are invited to join us wearing your Halloween costume for art and treats on this First Friday. First Friday at Bootleg Alley Ken and Brenda, owners of Bootleg Alley Antiques & Art, wish to thank all of their customers with a free concert on First Friday. Gather around the fire pit and listen to the sounds of Payson favorite, John Carpino. Donate canned goods and/or cash to the food bank. Be sure to stop by the Humane Society table where volunteers Betty and Jack accept donations and sell raffle tickets benefiting our furry friends. Fun, music, ambiance and refreshments await locals and tourists on First Friday, Nov. 2 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Bootleg Alley is located at 520 W.

CELEBRITY EXTRA | CINDY ELAVSKY
Details on Tony Scott’s death Q: I love MTV’s original comedy “Awkward.” I missed some episodes of season two. Is it on DVD yet? Also, will there be a third season? — Amy T., via e-mail A: You’re in luck on both counts. Aside from being able to watch full episodes on hulu.com and mtv.com, seasons one and two are available on DVD. The show has been granted a super-size season three, which will consist of 20 episodes instead of the previous 12 episodes each of the previous two seasons. Look for season three to premiere in summer 2013. *** Q: I just heard about the death of one of my favorite directors, Tony Scott. I couldn’t find any information on the definite cause or reason for his death. Do you know what happened? — Felix S., Vancouver, British Columbia A: The results of Tony’s autopsy were recently released, with the cause of death being multiple blunt-force injuries, which were sustained when he jumped off a Los Angeles bridge on Aug. 19. The official ruling is suicide, as no foul play was suspected or discovered. There was also no evidence of an inoperable brain tumor — as some sources were citing as the reason he killed himself — putting to rest those rumors that his family vehemently denied from the get-go. Tony, who was 68 at the time of his death, had recently announced his intent to develop a “Top Gun” sequel, and was with Tom Cruise just days prior to his death scouting locations for the
movie. There is no word yet on whether the movie will be made without Tony. *** Q: “Assassin’s Creed” is one of my favorite video games, and my roommate heard that it’s going to be made into a movie. Is that true? — Douglas W., via e-mail A: Development of a big-screen version of the popular video game is moving forward, with Michael Fassbender set to star as Desmond Miles, a man who comes from a long line of assassins but tries to lie low and maintain a more common lifestyle as a bartender. Since it’s still early in the development process, there’s no word on co-stars or a release date. However, I can tell you that it will be shot in 3-D. *** Q: My husband and I are curious as to what happened to Lisa, who was one of the “Ice Road Truckers” on the History Channel last year. We’re hoping she didn’t crash. — Bonnie and George H., via e-mail A: Lisa Kelly is alive and well, and taking a year off. Producer Thom Beers told a group of reporters: “We offered her a contract to return, and she chose not to. (We’d) love to have her, (but) she’s taking a year off. The thing we liked about her more than anyone else — she’s the one person of them all who showed real fear. I wish her luck, and I wish she was back.” © 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

Right after boarding in Galveston, Mom and Dad registered the young people into shipboard activities according to age. Each morning a schedule for each age group arrives and the young people plan their day’s activities. Each cabin provides cell phones for the young and Mom and Dad so they can converse at any time during the day or night. Activities for each age group are ongoing from 9:30 a.m. until after midnight if that is OK with the parents. Each evening at 8:30 p.m. a Broadwaystyle show is performed for all passengers in the Walt Disney Theatre. These were Broadway quality to the fullest with large casts of singers, dancers and actors. All were Disney-centered in one way or another. Every audience age group had a smile on their face when they left the theatre. Everything that is presented on a Disney ship is clean and rated for young people as well as adults. In each of our three ports of call there were interesting excursions. Disney calls them Port Adventures rather than shore excursions. These are suitable for young and old alike in most cases. Disney allows you to book these on the Internet before departure from home or

on the ship. There is plenty of capacity for most excursions. Grand Cayman is located on the peak of an undersea mountain range running along the edge of a trench. We all wanted to see this from under the sea so booked the Atlantis submarine, which took us down more than 100 feet below the surface of the water. We hovered at one point and could see the fall-off into the trench some 2,500 feet. In the afternoon Norma and I enjoyed a nice lunch facing the water in downtown Grand Cayman while Mom, Dad and the two children took a taxi out to seven-mile beach to enjoy the sun and sea for the balance of the afternoon. Late that afternoon we set sail for Costa Maya (Mayan Coast) and arrived at noon the next day in Mexico’s southern Caribbean Coast. Here, the land is pure dense jungle, flat and has among its attributes Mayan ruins dating back to the 5th century. One of the children, John, was studying the Mayan culture, so found this particularly interesting. Here’s a surprise, the buses used for this excursion were not rickety Mexican specials but rather very new and very deluxe first class coaches. The third and last port of call was the Mexican island of Cozumel. Norma and I hired a taxi to take us completely around to

The aging process caught up with the couple, and no longer able to maintain the place they sold it to Mike Johns, the son of local doctor Richard Johns. The Hulberts moved into town. As campers increased their presence along the Highline Trail, the threat of fires grew. On June 4, 1990 the fire watch ranger at the Baker Butte tower, Barbara Dalton, spotted smoke rising in the canyon. The weather was hot and dry, breaking all records. An abandoned campfire near the Highline Trail had spread and raced up the side of the Rim and over the top to threaten the Coconino Forest. Three days later 696 firefighters from 10 agencies brought it under control at a cost of $1,500,000. It had destroyed 633 acres. As you stand on the Rim at the head of the Bray Creek Canyon, amid the desolation fire causes, you read the sign that says, “Only you can prevent forest fires.” From the Payson area, you can see the barren vicinity marking the fire, half way between the East Verde River canyon and Milk Ranch Point. Two weeks later the infamous Dude Fire began just 10 miles to the east. Fortunately for the Bray Creek Ranch, the Forest Service created fire breaks around the property, because a series of nearby fires erupted in the following years.

42Five create the sound of musical instruments, from the trumpet to the drums, using only their voices. They perform at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 4 at Payson High School Auditorium.
Harmony, humor and heart Tonto Community Concert Association to present 42Five Sunday What’s 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. The group will present the next program in the Tonto Community Concert Association’s 2012-2013 series at 2:30 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 4 at the Payson High School Auditorium. They’ve come together to create a new form of entertainment singing songs we all love, from the ’60s to the tunes of today, including Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing,” Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now” and Three Dog Night’s “Joy to the World.” This award-winning a capella quintet is 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. Not only do they melt audiences with their flawless harmonies, their charming sense of humor is sure to create a stir in the hearts of everyone. 42Five (pronounced “Four Two Five”) has been performing its own unique brand of entertainment since the turn of the century. Evolving from a street corner barbershop sound, and drawing on funk, rock, jazz and blues — 42Five is unlike any musical experience around, re-creating an entire instrumental band with nothing but their voices — a feat which has to be seen to be believed. The group is based in Orlando, Fla. 42Five brings timeless, classic music to life with renewed freshness and infuses their beautiful harmonies with a lovable sense of humor and style all of their own. 42Five is blazing new trails and winning the hearts and imaginations of audiences big and small and of every race, creed, gender and age.
More fun than “The Sing-Off,” more infectious than “Glee,” this all-ages show will have you singing in your seat! With only five voices, no tricks, just talent, this award-winning group takes you on a musical journey covering familiar favorites from the ’60s to today, crafting an energizing performance that always leaves the audience standing on their feet, singing along and wanting more. 42Five delivers a roller coaster ride of death-defying vocal harmonies. The five-member male vocal group easily strides through a myriad of musical styles, from doowop to hip-hop. Their flawless vocal stylings are only matched by their signature humor and on-stage antics. Many of the members boast professional credentials from the amusement park and cruise ship industries based in Florida. 42Five creates their own arrangements, as well as engineering and producing each of their four recordings. Beginning in 2013 the band will record and perform under the name “Voiceplay.” Single tickets are $35 as available. Children and students under the age of 18 will be admitted free when CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

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.

JILL JACKSON’S HOLLYWOOD | TONY RIZZO
Clooney involved in many good causes HOLLYWOOD — George Clooney believes in giving back by helping people in need. Among his many causes are “Not On Our Watch,” to stop and prevent mass atrocities, and a 2010 telethon, “Hope For Haiti Now,” to aid earthquake victims. He even got arrested to call attention to atrocities in the Sudan. But his most ambitious undertaking to date is as a board member and co-chairman of “We Take Care of Our Own,” which is trying to raise $350 million for The Motion Picture and Television Fund. The Motion Picture Country Home and Hospital in Calabasas, Calif., is one of the facilities that show-business people go to for care. Three years ago, it nearly closed some of its facilities due to financial problems. Since February, the charity has raised nearly $240 million. Producer Barry Diller and his wife, Diane Von Furstenberg, gave $30 million, as did producer Steve Bing. Media mogul Rupert Murdoch, and Anne and Kirk Douglas each gave $20 million. Tom Cruise, the Fox Entertainment Group, producer-director-screenwriter Todd Phillips, producer Joe Roth and many other industry heavy hitters have contributed large, undisclosed amounts. A few weeks ago, the founders of DreamWorks, Jeffrey Katzenberg (chairman of the MPTF), Steven Spielberg and David Geffen each donated $30 million. As MPTF president and CEO Bob Beitcher explained, “Our dedication to supporting the needs of the work force, as well as the growing needs of our industry’s senior population, con-
tinues to put incredible pressure on our philanthropic needs.” I’ve visited retired thespians at the home and seen how well they’re cared for. Some of them just didn’t have anywhere else to go, and they were able to spend their last days with dignity and love. Even though the fund is close to reaching its goal, you can be sure Clooney will not rest until he exceeds it, and then some. Bravo to all of them! *** Tom Cruise shouldn’t be too concerned that Beyonce dropped out of Clint Eastwood’s “A Star Is Born” remake. His plate is already full. This Christmas he has the $80 million “Jack Reacher” (you got the wrong guy) drama, with Oscar-winner Robert Duvall, hitting screens. In April, he’s got the $130 million sci-fi movie “Oblivion” with Morgan Freeman due out, followed by the $140 million “All You Need Is Kill,” based on a Japanese “light novel,” with Emily Blunt and Bill Paxton. “Kill” was shot in London in September, and is scheduled for release in 2014. In Cruise’s future is a remake of “The Magnificent Seven,” a “Van Helsing” (vampire killer) film for Universal, and “Mission: Impossible 5.” After “Rock of Ages,” Tom should stick to what he does best ... “Cruising” through sci-fi and action films! *** Send letters to Tony Rizzo’s Hollywood, 8306 Wilshire Blvd., No. 362, Beverly Hills, CA 90211.

TRAVEL TALK CONTINUED
Fun for the whole family abounds aboard Disney ship FROM PAGE 5
survey this popular locale while the family went snorkeling. We discovered that only the town where we docked had any population and that was 80,000; the rest of the island was flat, with a little crop farming. The two ladies, Priscilla and Norma enjoyed shopping in the two Disney shops aboard ship. They were well stocked with gift items for people back home. If a Disney film is first run in theatres back home, you get them firsthand on a Disney ship. The family watched the new film “Frankenweenie” one night.
So 10-year-old John and 12-year-old Jena were busy almost every hour with entertainment, games and projects during the Disney Cruise while Mom and Dad, Priscilla and Paul, were occupied with getting some rest and reading books. Grandma and Grandpa often found deck chairs on the promenade deck or their balcony and spent a lot of time reading material they brought along. On the last day of the cruise as we were sailing back to Galveston, Texas we all agreed that Disney had the right recipe for family cruising. Everybody is kept happy and one is able to pursue
those interests they enjoy. The family comes together at dinnertime and following. John and Jena had a wonderful time, Priscilla and Paul were able to relax while the children were being attended to and Norma and Ken were content because the rest of the family was having a wonderful time. Even the babies are tended to. One morning we witnessed a “diaper dash” in the nursery. It was very cute. So, in all a Disney Cruise is great for the entire family. There are activity rooms staffed for various age groups and
even some public rooms and a swimming pool that someone under 18 cannot enter. Quiet places for adults. Disney has the right family “magic” at sea and don’t be afraid to take your clan on one of their four ships. Now, they cruise all over the world. Next spring the Disney Magic is being positioned in the Mediterranean with its home port being Barcelona, Spain. Visit a travel agent and obtain more information regarding Disney Cruises. You will love every minute aboard one of their ships.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your work requires increased effort during the next few days. But it all will pay off down the line. Things ease up in time for weekend fun with family and/or friends. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your genuine concern for others could prompt you to promise more than you can deliver. It’s best to modify your plans now, before you wind up overcommitted later. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A situation that seems simple at first glance needs a more thorough assessment before you give it your OK. Dig deeper for information that might be hidden from view. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Careful: Right now, things might not be quite what they appear. Even the intuitive Crab could misread the signs. Get some solid facts before you act on your suspicions. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Your energy levels are high, allowing you to complete those unfinished tasks before you take on a new project. A social invitation could come from an unlikely source. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You might think you’re helping, but unless you’re asked for a critique, don’t give it. If you are asked, watch what you say. Your words should be helpful, not hurtful. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your attempt at mediating disputes might meet some opposition at first. But once you’re shown to be fair and impartial, resistance soon gives way to cooperation. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Go ahead. Reward yourself for helping settle a disturbing workplace situation. On another note: A personal relationship might be moving to a higher level. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) A sudden change of heart by a colleague might create some momentary uncertainty. But stay with your original decision and, if necessary, defend it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Rely on a combination of your sharp instincts along with some really intense information-gathering to help you make a possibly life-changing decision. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Instead of worrying if that new person in your life will stay or leave, spend all that energy on strengthening your relationship so it becomes walk-out resistant. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) A sudden financial dry spell could reduce your cash flow almost to a trickle. But by conserving more and spending less, you’ll get through the crunch in good shape. BORN THIS WEEK: Your ability to keep secrets makes you the perfect confidante for friends, family and co-workers. © 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH
Hot flashes can last into the 70s BY PAUL G. DONOHUE, M.D. 2012 NORTH AMERICA SYND., INC.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Will you please tell me if there is something I can take to get rid of hot flashes? I am 74 and have them all the time. I sweat terribly. I have tried Estrace (female hormone), Estroblend (a dietary supplement) and black cohosh (an herbal remedy). — M.B. ANSWER: It’s said that 8 percent of women still have hot flashes into their 70s. Most women get over them in six months to five years after menopause. The drop in estrogen production that occurs with menopause affects a part of the brain that regulates body temperature. The brain’s thermostat is thrown out of whack, and the result is spells of sudden, uncomfortable warming with sweating. Let me give you the usual recommendations made for control of hot flashes. I’m pretty sure you must have tried them after more than 20 years of putting up with flashes. Dress in layers so that outer garments can be shed at the first inkling of a hot flash. That can keep it from becoming a full-blown one. Keep ice water on hand and drink it at the start of a flash. Cut back on caffeine. Slow, deep breathing at the onset of a flash is said to minimize it. Estrogen, which you have tried, is the most effective treatment for flashes. It should be taken in as low a dose as possible for the shortest time possible. Maybe a different estrogen preparation would work for you. Effexor and Lexapro, two antidepressants, have met with success in suppressing hot flashes for some women. Here they are not used for their antidepressant action. It’s an example of medicines that have more than one function. Neurontin (gabapentin) is a seizure-control medicine that is also used for control of hot flashes. Hot flashes that have lasted as long as yours call for a consideration of conditions other than estrogen deprivation. An overactive thyroid gland, a hidden infection and two unusual tumors — carcinoid and pheochromocytoma — are examples of illnesses that produce symptoms similar to a hot flash. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am 84 years old. Recently I had a CT scan of my abdomen. It revealed multiple diverticula in the sigmoid colon. Will you please explain diverticulitis to me, and what I can expect from it? — H.T. ANSWER: You don’t have diverticulitis. You have diverticulosis — small, pea-size protrusions of the colon lining on the outer surface of the colon. Between 50 percent and 80 percent of people your age have the same condition. Diverticulosis almost never causes pain. It hasn’t caused any trouble in your past. It’s most unlikely to cause you any trouble in the future. Fiber stops diverticula from forming. Make sure you’re getting 25-30 grams of it every day. Diverticulitis is inflammation of diverticula. It happens to only a few people with diverticulosis. Fiber also will prevent inflammation from developing. The booklet on diverticulosis explains this common malady in detail. To order a copy, write: Dr. Donohue — No. 502W, 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. 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 328536475.
