TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS

SUNRIVER - A DESTINATION RESORT What is a destination resort? It’s a place that is so vast and so complete that you can easily spend your entire vacation there and not run out of activities to do. One outstanding example in Oregon is the Sunriver Resort where you could spend an entire vacation and not repeat an activity over a visit of several days. Here is a place you can bring the entire family and the generations can find activities to suit them all. Sunriver offers fine dining in multiple restaurants, two golf courses and a links course, indoor pools, outdoor pools, indoor KEN BROOKS and outdoor tennis, horse back riding, mountain bikes, alpine and cross country skiing, river rafting, sleigh rides, hiking, and more. Accommodations range from 5,000 square foot homes to one-room resort cabins. And, for those who own private planes, Sunriver has its own airport. Neighbors of ours were guests on a private jet that flew them there from Phoenix for a three-day stay there last year. Upon their return they raved about the resort. Sunriver is located in Oregon’s high desert just south of Bend. This is a beautiful region populated by pine and juniper. It’s basically a basin offering spectacular views of the peaks (often snow covered) that surround it. Bend is a wonderful Oregon town offering a downtown shopping and dining district along the Deschutes River. The resort is located about 20 minutes south of Bend in a pine, aspen and meadowland. Sunriver is most easily reached by air through the Redmond Airport, which is located just outside Bend. The airport itself is a modern and pleasant facility with commercial service by Delta, Alaska and US Air. The family flew up from Phoenix on Delta through Salt Lake City. To give you a little background, Sunriver began as Camp Abbot. In 1855, Secretary of War Jefferson Davis dispatched an Army Corps of Topographical Engineers survey party to look for a railroad route from Sacramento Valley in California to the Columbia River in the Oregon Territory. This required the party to survey the Deschutes River area in central Oregon. The survey party was led by two lieutenants, Robert Stockton Williamson and Henry Larcom Abbot. It is for Abbot that this 5,500-acre army camp was named. The Army used this camp during World War II to train more than 10,000 combat engineers. Today, most of what was Camp Abbot is divided between Sunriver Resort and the National Forest, a partnership that appears to be working. What is now the Great Hall at Sunriver is the only remaining building from Camp Abbot and is a must see. It is an impressive log structure measuring 50-feet-by-96-feet with a gorgeous beam ceiling and a balcony running around all sides, which is reached by a long circular stair. You can just hear big band

The Great Hall (above) at Sunriver is the only remaining building from Oregon’s Camp Abbot and is a must see.

music as you walk through the door. That railroad route that Abbot and party were sent to survey later became the center of a huge competition between companies to build that railroad from Sacramento to the Columbia River. The route still operates, by the way. So, you begin your stay in the main lodge where check-in is accomplished. This is a spectacular building that also includes two restaurants with wonderful food and views. The accommodation choices are as varied as the activities. You can stay in what amounts to a very nice hotel room, or an upgraded resort suite, a condo, a small home, a large home or a small village of homes with their own clubhouse. There are accommodations to fit every taste, need and budget. Most of these are set in pine and aspen forest with views of the mountains. Our family selected rooms along the river that included a beam ceiling, fireplace, a deck looking out across the meadow to Mount Bachelor covered in snow. The rooms included all the normal features one would expect: a flat screen TV, refrigerator, a palatial bathroom and luxurious robes. The private deck was great for later afternoon relaxation and all appreciated the hot tub to watch the sun set over Mount Bachelor. All slept like babies during the night. The next morning we were up with the sun and off to a delicious breakfast in the main lodge. We swam in the indoor saltwa-

ter lap pool as a warm up. Then, some of the family had reservations at one of the indoor tennis courts. Norma had a pedicure and manicure at the spa. Both the spa and health club are very complete. We discovered there are miles and miles of walking and bike paths in the woods around the lodge, in the meadows and in the forest. After lunch, some of the family took bike rides. Then, a little nap in the room seemed to do the trick before dinner. The next day the family voted to discover the area. Paul said he had always wanted to visit Crater Lake. We all said “yes” and soon got in the cars and off we drove to the lake. I had seen it many times when flying over on flights from Los Angeles to Seattle, but had not traveled there. After a beautiful ride we arrived in Crater Lake. As advertised, the water is so deep and so clear it reflected the scenes around it. It’s a deep blue and semi circle in shape. There are several day trips that can be accomplished from Sunriver. You can drive up Mount Bachelor to enjoy its views, or if you are in need of shopping, go into the town of Bend. The downtown is interesting and features a selection of dining opportunities and interesting shops. On the last day at Sunriver we drove up to Portland to have lunch and visit a couple bookstores. Back at the lodge, we feasted well on our last dinner with prime ribs as the main course. We probably gained five

pounds on this meal alone. The next day it was time to go home. The flight for Phoenix does not leave until about 1:30 in the afternoon, so we had plenty of time to pack and then visit the Des Chutes (sic) Historical Museum in Bend on the way to the airport. We had lunch at the airport before departing. This is a wonderful experience. Consider visiting Sunriver yourself sometime. For information and reservations phone: 1-800-346-6237.

STRANGE BUT TRUE | SAMANTHA WEAVER

Folks slept 9 hours a night before electric light • It was lexicographer Samuel Johnson who made the following sage observation: “Always, set a high value on spontaneous kindness. He whose inclination prompts him to cultivate your friendship of his own accord, will love you more than one whom you have been at pains to attach to you.” • On Jan. 31, 2013, it officially became legal for women to wear pants in Paris. Before that, a law on the books only allowed women to wear pants if they were “holding a bicycle handlebar or the reins of a horse,” or if they had requested special permission from the police to dress like men. • Japanese consumers are now able to buy a smartphone attachment that emits the odors of short ribs, beef tongue and buttered potatoes. Other attachments are also available, with scents such as the ylang-ylang flower, cinnamon rolls, coffee, corn soup, mint, strawberries, jas-

mine and curry. • It’s well known that famed children’s book author Dr. Seuss had no children of his own, but you might be surprised to learn that he created an imaginary daughter, Chrysanthemum Pearl. He dedicated his book “The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins” to her: “To Chrysanthemum Pearl, aged 89 months, going on 90.” • If you’re like 6 percent of Americans, when you vacuum you do it in your underwear — or naked. • Before the invention of the electric light, people slept, on average, nine hours a night. Since then, it’s been about 7.5. Sleep researchers say that in a lab setting, people deprived of electric light go back to sleeping nine hours a night. © 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

and 3,000 head of cattle. He settled in a valley below the Mogollon Rim along a stream that came to bear the family name, Ellison Creek. They called it the Apple Farm and raised hogs, cattle, peaches, plums, grapes and apples. Ellison soon became involved in the Pleasant Valley War on the side of the cattle ranchers and became a vigilante going after horse thieves. To give himself authority he called himself The Colonel, claiming to have served in the Confederate Army. In this role he became friends with Jim Ramer who talked him in to buying the Q Ranch. A footnote in Arizona history is that in 1904 Ellison’s daughter Duette married George W. P. Hunt, who became Arizona’s first governor. Like most far-flung ranches and farms, the Q had its own cemetery. A stockade fence to keep livestock and critters out surrounded it. The first to be buried there was one of Ellison’s sons-in-law, Robert Lee Campbell (husband of Rose Ellison). He was killed by Indians near the ranch on July 6, 1896, and was buried in a homemade wooden coffin. There were carpenters in the Rim Country those days who specialized in making coffins, among them Ben Nail. Another footnote to history: Nail was killed when his runaway team of horses took opposite sides of a juniper tree on the old road between Payson and Starr (sic) Valley. He is buried on what was the Cline Ranch. His brother, Preston Nail, was also a coffin builder and is buried in the Payson Pioneer Cemetery. In the years after the Ellisons were gone, the cemetery became

overrun with vegetation, the graves hardly distinguishable. The Arizona Archaeological Society took on the project of restoring the cemetery, revealing insight into members of the Ellison family and their neighbors. Helping in the restoration were old photographs contributed by other pioneer families. The Ellison family worked the Q until 1915, when it was sold to Pecos McFadden, the son of an old Texas friend of Jesse’s and owner of the nearby Flying V Ranch. He quickly combined the two ranches to create a large spread. The Q brand passed on to the new owners — and there was quite a succession of them. In 1923, George Wilson went into partnership with McFadden, and then in 1930 bought out a full interest. George’s son Robert Wilson inherited the ranch and in 1948 sold it to Otto and Rue Marshall. In turn they sold it

Watson Fitz in 1950, but six years later Jefferson “Jack” Rogers and his partner bought it. They also bought the adjoining Gentry Ranch, creating an even larger spread of private land together with grazing rights. Jack Rogers took advantage of public interest in the ranch, and developed a bed and breakfast business in the old ranch house, as well as cultivating the summer archaeological camps. He sold off some of the deeded land to persons who needed property to trade the Forest Service. His Web page for the Q is available to any who wish to pursue their interest. The Jack Rogers family generously passed custody of the numerous artifacts, more than 100 boxes, to the Northern Gila County Historical Society. Today they are stored in the archive building of Payson’s Rim Country Museum.

COVER STORY | TERESA MCQUERREY

File photos

A flock of storytellers will come to roost at the Pine Strawberry Community Center Cultural Hall Saturday, Nov. 23 as the community celebrates Tellabration for the 14th year. Among the artists participating in the event, which includes a meet-and-greet and dinner for $25 per person (reservations are due Wednesday, Nov. 20), are Liz Warren (left), Dee “Buckshot Dot” Strickland (above) and Victor McGraw (below). Also participating will be Don Doyle, James Ashcroft and Louise Laux. Admission at the door is $5 per person. Doors open for the show at 7 p.m. Proceeds will benefit the Pine/Strawberry School and the Pine Strawberry Community Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners.

Tellabration time in Pine Good food and good stories await in Pine. It is once again Tellabration time in Pine and proceeds will help the school and the Thanksgiving and Christmas community dinners this year. The community of Pine has celebrated Tellabration for 13 years, and the Senior Citizens Affairs Foundation has sponsored it for the last two years. The event was founded in 1988 in Connecticut, held at six sites, and since 1997 has been celebrated on every continent but Antarctica. Plan to visit Pine the evening of Saturday, Nov. 23 for the annual Tellabration event. A fund-raising dinner and show tickets are $25 per person and must be purchased by Nov. 20, they are available at the Pine Senior Thrift Shop at the Community Center on Highway 87. Seating is very limited. There will also be a meet-and-greet the storytellers at 5 p.m., with dinner served by 5:30 p.m. in the Senior Dining Room. The show is at 7 p.m. and show-only tickets, available at the door, are $5 per

person. Refreshments will be available at the show, which will be in the Cultural Hall at the Community Center. Storyteller coordinator Don Doyle has said the event will feature several new faces this year, along with more familiar ones. Doyle is one of the regulars presenting stories and will again be on stage this year. Also returning are Liz Warren — who has participated every year in Pine; Dee “Buckshot Dot” Strickland; and Victor McGraw. The new faces are James Ashcroft and Louise Laux. Other performers in the past have included: Dustin Loehr, Dorothy Daniels Anderson, Ricardo Provencio, Doug Bland and Marilyn Omifunke Torres. A LITTLE HISTORY

J. G. Pinkerton founded the event, which he envisioned as a means of building community support for storytelling. It extended to several other states the following year, and then, in 1990, expanded nationwide. In 1995, for the first time it was celebrated in Japan.

A bowl of Turkey Tortilla Soup and a chicken taco made with Old El Paso’s new stand-up taco shells would make a great Mexican meal at home any time, but add some tamales from the 24th Annual Tamales for Toys event, to be held Saturday, Nov. 23, and you have a feast — or would that be a fiesta.

Build a meal around Tamales for Toys The 24th Annual Tamales for Toys is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 23 at Gerardo’s Firewood Café, 512 N. Beeline Highway. The event benefits Payson Community Kids and is presented by the Payson Fire Department, Mazatzal Optimists Club, Gerardo’s Firewood Café, Northern Gila County Firefighters Local 4135 and the generosity of Rim Country residents. Bring a new, unwrapped toy to the café and enjoy two tamales, beans, chips and salsa (the cost is $7 a plate without a toy). Those interested can also purchase a dozen tamales to go (or delivered free within the Payson town limits) for $20 the day of the event. To place an order, or for additional details, call (928) 978-3256 or (928) 9513653. These are some of the best tamales you can buy in the Rim Country, so ordering a couple dozen (or more) is highly recommended. Once you have the tamales at home, build a great meal around them. Heat up some refried beans (I like the spicy kind the best) and then make one or both of the following “side” dishes.

TURKEY TORTILLA SOUP Preparation time: 30 minutes; cooking time: 20 minutes; makes four servings Vegetable oil 1, 14.5-ounce can tomatoes 32 ounces chicken broth Coarse salt (sea salt or kosher), to taste 1, 15-ounce can potatoes 1, 14.5-ounce can crinkle sliced carrots 1, 15.25-ounce can whole kernel corn 1, 15.5-ounce can pinto or black beans, drained 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded (cooked chicken can be substituted) 6 ounces bite-size corn tortilla chips 1 cup cheese (queso fresco, feta or Monterey jack) shredded or diced 1/2 cup scallions, chopped 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional) 1 lime, cut in wedges

Here are a few ways to amplify your tamale supper:

CREATE A FLAVORFUL FIESTA Traditional favorites like tacos, burritos, fajitas and salsas are born from crunchy, good for you, vegetables. For salsa and toppings, make sure you have plenty of juicy tomatoes, onions and cilantro. Lettuce also adds great crunch and color for taco and burrito fillings. Play off the textures with soft flour tortilla options, such as Old El Paso® Stand ’N Stuff® Soft Flour Tortillas, which easily hold in all those delicious ingredients in a convenient, boat-shaped bowl without the mess. For additional information on Old El Paso products, cooking ideas and recipes, visit OldElPaso.com.

The Tamales for Toys event is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 23 at Gerardo’s Firewood Café, 512 N. Beeline Highway. Heat vegetable oil in saucepan over medium high heat. Cook tomatoes for a minute, stirring frequently; add broth and salt. Heat to boiling. Add potatoes, carrots, corn, beans and turkey; simmer gently until all ingredients are hot. To serve: Ladle soup into bowls. Top with tortilla chips and cheese; garnish with scallions and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

ROASTED TOMATO STAND ’N STUFF® TACOS Preparation time: 20 minutes; start to finish: 20 minutes; makes four servings, one taco per person 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into

thin strips 1, 8-ounce pouch Old El Paso® Mexican Cooking Sauce Roasted Tomato 4 Old El Paso® Stand ’N Stuff® Soft Flour Tortillas (from 6.7-ounce package) 1/2 cup shredded lettuce 1/2 cup sour cream Diced tomatoes (optional) In 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in oil about 4 minutes or until lightly browned. Add cooking sauce. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered about 8 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center. Meanwhile, heat tortillas as directed on package. Spoon chicken mixture into tortillas. Add toppings.

SWAP OUT FOR HEALTHIER INGREDIENTS It’s fun to create your own spin on your favorite Mexican dishes with healthy substitutions. Add ground turkey instead of beef into your enchiladas. Throw crab or grilled shrimp on top of nachos. Try beans instead of meat as a flavorful and fiberpacked protein replacement. As long as the ingredients are lean and fresh, you can’t go wrong. SPICE IT UP For truly fresh, authentic meals, make sure your pantry is stocked with the proper seasonings to provide the spicy, smoky or tangy flavors you expect from this popular cuisine. For more sizzling flavor, try this recipe for Roasted Tomato Stand ’N Stuff Tacos, which feature new Old El Paso Stand ’N Stuff Soft Flour Tortillas and new Old El Paso® Mexican Cooking Sauces. Everyone will love the bold flavor of meals cooked with some spicy inspiration. So, make Mexican night a tradition at your home with these flavorful, easy-to-create meal ideas.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Decisions involving your finances might seem to be foolproof. But they could have underlying risks you should know about. Don’t act on anything until all the facts are in. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You’re attracted to a situation that appeals to your Bovine intellect. And that’s good. But don’t neglect your passionate side when romance comes calling later in the week. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A recent development enhances that special relationship. Spending more time together also helps make the bonding process stronger. Expect news about a possible career change. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A suspicious situation should be dealt with before it leads to serious problems. Get all the facts needed to resolve it. Then refocus your energies on those tasks that need your attention. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Try to be more open-minded in working toward a resolution of that standoff between yourself and a colleague or family member. A little flexibility now could work to your advantage later. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You might feel a bit threatened by a proposed workplace change. The best way to deal with it is to ask questions. You’ll find that those involved will be happy to provide you with the facts. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Feeling alone in a crowd during the early part of the week is an unsettling emotion. But your spirits soon perk up, putting you into the right mood to start making holiday plans. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) A pesky problem should be dealt with immediately so you can put your time and effort into something more important. Someone from your past could have significant news for you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) High-energy aspects dominate, both on the job and at home. Use this time to put some long-range plans into operation. Things level off later in the week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Even the usually gregarious Goat might feel overwhelmed by a flurry of activities. Be patient. Things soon return to your normal social routine. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Career choices that seem too confusing to deal with at this point probably are. More information would help uncomplicate them. On the personal side, a friend might need your advice. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Your Piscean imagination is stimulated by possibilities you see in a new opportunity. But keep those ideas to yourself until you feel ready to translate them into a workable format. BORN THIS WEEK: You have an ingratiating way of helping people deal with their fears. Have you considered a career in social work or with the clergy? © 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

Bald patches often due to immune attack BY PAUL G. DONOHUE, M.D. 2013 NORTH AMERICA SYND., INC.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: After shampooing my hair, I looked in the mirror and found a large bald patch near my ear. I screamed. I can comb my hair to hide it. Does this mean I am about to lose all my hair? Is there a treatment for it? — A.A. ANSWER: With a fair degree of confidence, I can say you have alopecia areata, bald patches that vary in size and number. Close to 4.5 million American adults and children suffer from this condition every year. Like so many other illnesses, it’s the result of an immune system gone berserk. The immune system attacks hair follicles, the skin pores that are homes for each hair. What turns on the immune system to do this is something that waits to be discovered. As heartbreaking as alopecia areata is in the short run, there is high hope of complete restoration of hair in time. Around 50 percent will have hair regrowth within a year even if no treatment is given. Treatments exist to speed the healing process. One is injection of a high-potency cortisone drug, like triamcinolone, into the bald patch. Another treatment consists of applying an allergen directly to the bald spots. The reaction it produces leads to hair regrowth. The allergen often chosen is DPCP, diphenylcyclopropenone. These are only two of the options open to alopecia areata patients. Hair follicles retain the capacity to regenerate. Complicated alopecia areata can affect the entire scalp and body hair. These are not common instances, when you consider the entire population of sufferers of this malady. If you would like more detailed information, contact the National Alopecia Areata Foundation online at www.naaf.org. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My father was colorblind. Of his four daughters and one son, two of his daughters were colorblind. I just found out that two of his three grandsons and eight of his nine greatgrandsons are colorblind. How common is this? — S. ANSWER: Colorblindness affects 8 percent of men, but only 0.4 percent of women. It is, therefore, 20 times more common in men than women. It’s surprising that two of your sisters have it. Less surprising is the number of grandsons and great-grandsons with it. Most colorblind people get along in life without much trouble. And most have some degree of color perception. A very few see the world only in grays, black and whites. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I love avocados. I’m trying to lose some weight, but I hear that avocados have a lot of fat. How can a fruit have fat? — R.D. ANSWER: Fruits can have fat, as well as protein and carbohydrates. They have no cholesterol. No member of the plant kingdom does. A medium avocado has around 320 calories. Most of those calories are due to the fat content of this fruit. But the fat is good fat, not the kind of fat that prods the liver to make cholesterol. It also has three B vitamins, vitamin A and vitamin C. You can continue to eat avocados, but you have to get rid of something else in your diet that has this many calories. Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.
