Most Riviera Maya. of these resorts have their own A few airlines offer non-stop private beaches, so only the hotel flights from Phoenix to Cancun guests can use the beaches in each day. Airfares vary as to the front of the resorts. The “locals”
use other beaches away from the private beaches, which means no vendors hawking their wares. Some other Mexican resort towns include Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Acapulco. I cannot recommend Acapulco because the drug lords have chosen to occupy some of the town and it has become headquarters for some of the so-called gangs. Tourists have been killed here. Some were just walking the town when hit by crossfire from the gang’s guns. This was once the number one resort city for Mexico. Americans traveling to Mexico are now required to have a Passport Card, which is good for travel to Canada and Mexico or an International Passport. Other popular resort areas include Cozumel Island, Huatulco, Ixtapa, Loreto, Manzanillo, Riviera Nayarit, and Zihatanejo. Again, I strongly suggest you shop on-line and then consult an experienced travel agent. Ask them if they have personally traveled to the area you think you might like. Many consider Mexico resorts the perfect setting for romance, weddings and honeymoons along with plain old relaxation. Currency is the peso, but the U.S. dollar is widely accepted and often preferred. Be advised that businesses can only accept a maximum of $100 cash in U.S. dollars per transaction. Credit cards are also widely accepted. The climate in the costal resort areas is generally warm throughout the year, with daytime temperatures ranging between 77 and 86 degrees. For your electric appliances voltage throughout Mexico is 120v, the same as in the United States. I really don’t like to recommend hotels and resorts, but I will mention a few for you to check with your travel agent. In Cancun examine Fiesta Americana Grand Coral Beach, which is 5-stars, or JW Marriott Cancun. At Riviera Maya consider Grand Velas Riviers Maya, 5-stars, and the Banyan Tree Mayakoba, 5-stars. ln Puerto Vallarta look at Secrets Vallarta Bay Puerto Vallarta and Westin Resort, 4-stars. At Riviera Nayarit consider the Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita, 5-stars, and the St. Regis Punta Mita Resort, 5-stars. In Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo look at the Viceroy Zihuatanejo, 5-stars. The food is usually safe and good at the established hotel restaurants. Stay away from the local spots that may look inter-

ter and built the Boardman brothers’ houses on Frontier Street. In 1899 he built the 16-to-1 Saloon on Main Street. He did not manage it, but hired Joseph Gibson of Tempe to handle his business. The name “16-to-1” was adopted to appeal to prospectors because they believed mining would become the big industry in the area. A bill called the Gold Standard Act of 1900 established gold as the only standard for redeeming paper money. Up to then both silver and gold could redeem paper money and the miners wanted this to continue. They called for a set standard by which 16 ounces of silver would be exchanged for one ounce of gold. This, they demanded, should be coupled with the free or unlimited coinage of silver. Thus the cry could be heard across the land, from Midwestern farmers to far west miners, “Sixteen to One!” Callaghan figured his new saloon would benefit by this publicity. He was also very civic mined, and donated six days labor to help build Payson’s first school. The Pieper family deeded land on Frontier Street for Callaghan’s house, probably in payment for work done. He proceeded to build his house of liquor bottles, collected from the saloons, along with lumber and mud. He also lined his walkways and flowerbeds with bottles. The best known story about James Callaghan circulated in several different versions. It seems that he was having supper at the Stewart’s hotel on Main Street, along with Bill Colcord and Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Bonacker. The window was open by the blacksmith’s shoulder, when suddenly an adult bob cat jumped in, landing on his back. He grabbed the animal by the throat and choked it to death right there at the table. Other popular versions had Callaghan sitting in one of Payson’s saloons. When the animal came through the open window
and landed on his back he reached back with both hands, grabbed the cat by the neck, tossed it back out through the window. Then he sat down to finish his beer. Yet in another telling he was in a miner’s cabin by the fire when the bob cat came through the back door and attacked. Even though Callaghan was scratched and cut, he grabbed the critter and threw it into the fire. Still other versions mix up the details, and some claim the cabin episode was someone else. As with most folklore, we are left to take our pick of versions. The blacksmith’s shop was in the open along Frontier Street, by his house, and was shaded by a large black walnut tree. We readily envision the sturdy, well-built blacksmith, as told in Longfellow’s famous poem, with the one small change. The tree was different. Under the spreading chestnut tree The village smithy stands; The smith, a mighty man is he, With large and sinewy hands, And the muscles of his brawny arms Are strong as iron bands. NOTES
[1] For some reason his grave stone in the Payson Pioneer Cemetery shows yet another birth date, 1835. The cemetery marker also spells his name wrong, with an “i” instead of an “a”. [2] In addition to Pieper’s ledger, census and Great Register records, much of our information comes from oral histories by Ernest Pieper, Boy Haught, “Babe” Lockwood, Theresa Boardman and a written history by school superintendent Ira Murphy and the book, Rim Country History. These can be found in the library at the Rim Country Museum. NEXT: Emer and Margaret Chilson

2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice 3/4 cup California raisins 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon granulated white sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg Pinch ground cloves 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 1-1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter BLUE RIBBON PASTRY
2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon white granulated sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/3 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into chunks 1/3 cup vegetable shortening 4-5 tablespoons cold water
EGG WASH
TO PREPARE
1 egg Pinch of salt For filling: combine apples, brown sugar, water, lemon juice and raisins in 2-quart saucepan. Cover and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes until apples are just tender. Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix flour, sugar, salt and spices together well, and add liquid from cooking apples to make slurry. Then, add all to pan with apples and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla and butter. Set aside to cool. For pastry: measure flour, sugar, salt and cinnamon into large bowl and with pastry blender, fork or two knives, cut in butter and shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing after each addition until flour is moist and dough just holds together. Turn onto lightly floured surface; knead together and shape into flattened disk. Divide into 4 equal pieces; wrap separately in plastic wrap or wax paper and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On lightly floured surface, roll out pastry dough, one piece at a time, and cut each piece into 4 small rounds with 3-1/2- or 4-inch cookie cutter. Place 1 scant tablespoon filling just below center on each piece; moisten edges and fold over, sealing edges with fork. Arrange on baking sheet and prick tops of each handheld pie in several places with fork or cut one small slit with sharp knife. Beat 1 egg with pinch of salt for egg wash and brush onto pies. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes until lightly browned. Cool and serve. Source: California Raisin Marketing Board and Family Features
While this recipe calls for a homemade filling, a canned one would work just as well.

TELLABRATION!
Yarn spinners benefit PS school, more
The art of telling a great tale returns to the Rim Country with the 15th Annual Tellabration. The 2014 edition of the celebration is Saturday, Nov. 22 at the Pine Community Center Cultural Hall. Limited seating is available for a special meet and greet and dinner with the participating storytellers, the reception is at 5 p.m., with dinner served at 5:30 p.m. Tickets for this part of the program are $20 per person. The regular show is at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. Admission is $5 per person (the tales are suitable for those 10 and older). Purchase dinner and show tickets or show-only tickets early at the Pine Strawberry Thrift Shop or by calling (928) 4764633. Scheduled to participate in this year’s Tellabration are returning artists Doug Bland, Dee Strickland-Johnson, Marilyn Torres-Sierra and Liz Warren and new guests Sean Buvala and Kyle Mitchell. All proceeds from the Tellabration benefit the Pine-Strawberry School and the community. Tellabration is a worldwide benefit
evening of storytelling designed to create a network of storytelling enthusiasts bonded together in spirit at the same time and on the same weekend. Tellabration originator J. G. Pinkerton envisioned this international event as a means of building community support for storytelling. In 1988 the event was launched by the Connecticut Storytelling Center and has expanded across the nation including to Pine-Strawberry.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS DOUG BLAND
Doug Bland is a teacher, writer, environmentalist and pastor at the Tempe Community Christian Church, a.k.a. “the Storytelling Church”. Doug has received awards for producing multi-cultural, interfaith storytelling concerts. He has initiated a worship experience called Anam Cara, which is a story-based journey in search of holy ground, where storytellers from a variety of spiritual traditions and ethnic backgrounds come together to tell the sacred stories they hold closest to their hearts. In 2011 he was the recipient of a national conservation fellowship that allowed him to protect the Sonoran Desert through the power of storytelling. He was one of 40 individuals nationwide selected as a 2011 TogetherGreen Fellow.
Each Fellow received $10,000 toward a community-focused project to engage local residents in conserving land, water and energy, and contributing to greater environmental health. Bland understands the power of stories – as a professor of storytelling at the South Mountain Community College, as the Founder of Arizona Interfaith Power and Light (AZIPL), and as a pastor at Community Christian Church. Bland’s project dovetailed his passion for storytelling and love for the environment through the Sonoran Desert Heritage Storytelling Project, a multi- media engagement strategy to preserve and protect 720,000 acres of land in western Maricopa County. Bland earned a bachelor’s of science degree in zoology from the College of Idaho and his master’s of divinity from Duke Divinity School. He has been awarded the Martin Luther King Jr. Diversity Award from the City of Tempe. He received an Honorable Mention in the Arizona Clean and Beautiful Category of the Governor’s Pride in Arizona Awards, has been recognized as a Wilderness Hero by the Campaign for America’s Wilderness, and was recently a finalist or the Celebration of St. Francis Creation-Care Sermon Contest. DEE STRICKLAND-JOHNSON
Dee is better known in storytelling circles
at Buckshot Dot and calls herself, “Younger than Springtime; older than dirt.” Born in Flagstaff, she grew up on the Navajo and Hualapai reservations and at Petrified Forest National Monument. She also was a teacher at Payson High School a number of years ago. Dot is an Arizona Culture Keeper, has opened for Lyle Lovett, and been an AWA (Academy of Western Artists) Female Cowboy Poet of the Year. Dot’s book, Arizona Women: Weird, Wild and Wonderful was named Western Music Association’s Cowboy Poetry Book of the Year. Both it and Arizona Herstory: Tales From Her Storied Past have been awarded the Will Rogers Medallion Award by AWA. They are both illustrated with Dot’s drawings and scratch boards from historical photographs. Other books are Cowman’s Wife and First Roundup. She has been featured at The National Auditory Theater Festival, National Society of Poetry for Therapy, the AZ Lecture Series, and Goldwater Lecture series, etc., and has around the country, in Canada, and the British Isles. Dot has recorded five albums. Her song, “Old Hank Morgan’s Place” from the CD “Buckaroo Bonanza,” was a finalist for AWA’s Cowboy Song of the Year and has been recorded by Jean Prescott.

Tale tellers FROM PAGE 6
In her “other lives” she has taught American history, drama, art, and English at secondary level, the gifted program in elementary grades, been employed as artistic director for University of Arizona Opera Theater, composed and co-directed four dance folk operas, written heritage articles for an Ozark newspaper, and dramatized and presented three Ozark folk tales. MARILYN TORRES-SIERRA
Marilyn Torres-Sierra, channels the ancient art of telling a tale to teach a concept and celebrate traditions. Her heritage includes Celtic, Nigerian and Puerto Rican roots. Each culture has its own types of stories, which she stores in her memory to share with the audience she speaks too. She is also known as Adeokantomi, and is an ordained traditional storyteller/dancer/educator and registered labor and delivery nurse. Born and raised in New York City, her love of storytelling and dance began when young. Listening to the stories of her ancestry from Nigeria, West Africa, learning the traditional dances of her African-Latina and Taino/Arawak lineage from Puerto Rico, all fueled her journey of ancestral discovery, which also includes Scotland. She has worked full time as a labor and delivery nurse and taught nursing for Phoenix College. In her research and study, she has discovered that storytelling is one of the best tools for teaching critical thinking and systematic protocol retention for nursing students. LIZ WARREN
The Arizona Bard of Mythic Tales, Liz Warren is a storyteller, teacher and award- winning recording artist. Warren, a fourth-generation Arizonan, is a storyteller, teacher, writer and co-founder of the South Mountain Community College Storytelling Institute in Phoenix, Arizona. Her recorded version of The Story of the Grail received a Parents Choice Recommended award in 2004 and a Storytelling World award in 2006. In June 2007, she was a featured teller at the Dublin Yarnspinners and at Cultra, the annual storytelling festival of the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum in Belfast. The Path of Truth, her new CD of Arizona family stories will be released in 2008. She is the producer of the annual Mesa Storytelling festival held at the Mesa Arts Center. SEAN BUVALA
Sean Buvala has been engaged with storytelling and communication since 1985. He started his work by accidentally using active storytelling to convert a classroom of slightly (but comically) homicidal 8th-grade teenagers from angry kids to storytelling practitioners themselves. From then on, both the kids and Sean were sold on the influence of a great story. Sean describes the collection of stories in his head as “life and legend” representing the mix of stories from his experiences, myth and legend from many cultures, sacred stories and observations of shared life events. Sean has been presenting and storytelling “on the road” for decades. He’s traveled to perform and present workshops in most of the United States. He’s an author, a recording artist and trainer. He’s produced several CD’s of storytelling and theater. KYLE MITCHELL
Kyle Mitchell is a Diné (Navajo) Native American. He grew up on the reservation with his grandparents, where he learned the family’s work ethic along with oral tradition every day. After graduating high school he enlisted into the Army where he served two tours – one in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. After his discharge from the military he decided to pursue a degree in accounting. While taking a mythology course at South Mountain Community College with Liz Warren he was introduced to the storytelling community. Now he shares oral traditions through stories that are contemporary and informative. In addition to his study of accounting, Kyle is a student in the South Mountain Community College Storytelling Institute certificate program.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) While it seems that chaos is taking over, you get everything back to normal, even if it means being more than a little assertive with some people. Expect to hear more job-related news soon. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Expect to be able to move ahead with your workplace plans now that you have a good idea of what you might have to face. You also can anticipate a welcome change on the home front. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A quieter period settles in, giving you a chance to catch your breath, as well as allowing for more time to handle some important family matters. The arts dominate this weekend. Enjoy them. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The frustrations of last week have pretty much played themselves out. You should find things going more smoothly, especially with those all-important personal matters. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Once again, you find a creative way to resolve a pesky problem in short order. However, a matter involving a possible breach of confidence might need a bit more time to check out. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Reuniting with an old friend could lead to the sharing of some great new experiences. But be careful you don’t find yourself once again being super-critical or overly judgmental. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You should be seeing some positive results following your move toward repairing that unraveling relationship. There might be some setbacks, but staying with it ultimately pays off. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Encouraging a friendlier environment in the home could go a long way to help dissipate anger and resolve problems, especially those affecting children. It won’t be easy, but you can do it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) A recent act of kindness is beginning to show some unexpected (but very welcome) results. On another note, expect to hear more about a possible move to another locale. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) The good news is that the sure-footed Goat can rely on his or her skill to get around obstacles in the workplace. The not-so-good news is that new impediments could turn up later. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) A change of pace is welcome but also confusing. Before you make decisions one way or another, be sure you know precisely what it is you’re being asked to do. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Don’t fret if you don’t get the gratitude you think you’re owed for doing a nice thing for someone. There might be a good reason for that. In any event, what’s important is that you did it. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of making the sort of wise decisions that ultimately shed new light on dark situations. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.
