Pine Library festivities Isabelle Hunt Memorial Library is celebrating the season with the Polar Express. Library Manager Becky Waer is planning two upcoming Polar Express holiday treats for area children. They include a reading of the Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg and the showing of the Polar Express movie. The reading begins at 10:15 a.m., Wednesday, Dec. 17. Children are asked to wear their pajamas. The G-rated movie begins at 1 p.m., Friday, Dec. 26. Refreshments will be served at both events. Children should bring their own pillow to be comfortable on the floor. Waer is always quick to remind children to arrive early because fire codes restrict the number of children who can be in the library and late arrivers sometimes have to be turned away.

TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS

WINTER ROAD TRIPS AND ADVENTURES Winter is a great time to head out on the highways for special scenic pleasures. The land often takes on a different look during this time as some of the trees have expelled their leaves leaving interesting forms created by the bare branches. And, for most of the winter season there are fewer cars on the roads and fewer tourists sightseeing. We have to be careful choosing destinations so as not to have to deal with icy, snowy roads. One surprise was to discover that Yellowstone National Park, Wyo. is open to travelers during the winter. There are hidden pleasures here KEN BROOKS during the cold months. I suggest you ﬁnd your way north to Bozeman, Mont. having booked a room at the Bozeman Holiday Inn. Plan at least two nights here, giving time to discover the Museum of the Rockies, a world-class museum, founded in 1957, best known for its vast collection of dinosaur fossils including the world’s largest Tyrannosaurus rex skull. From Bozeman, drive on to Chico Hot Springs for the gold mine settlement turned ghost town. If you brought your bathing suit, take a dip in the natural hot spring pools where you can soak, swim or just relax in the soothing water. Then, continue on to your hotel, which could be the Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel. The next day head for the Lamar Valley, a remote location in the northeast section of the park that offers one of the best spots for visitors to see Yellowstone’s wildlife, especially wolf packs. You can admire and photograph these predators in their winter habitat. With fewer tourists during the winter months the wildlife is more active. Also keep your eyes open for eagles, coyotes, bison, elk and moose. Later, move on to the quaint town of Cooke City for a little exploration before heading back to your hotel in Mammoth Springs. Yellowstone is a wonderland of more than 10,000 geysers, fumaroles, hot springs, mud pots and steam vents and today you will get a chance to do some exploring of the park’s scenic wonders. If you can, book a snowvan tour of the

“Grand Canyon” of Yellowstone, the first and largest canyon on the Yellowstone River. You will see the Yellowstone Falls, which cascade down more than 300 feet, almost twice the height of Niagara Falls. In the later afternoon drive on to your hotel, which can be the Old Faithful Snow Lodge. You can enjoy dinner here near a burning fireplace. The next day can be the time to walk across your hotel grounds to view the Old Faithful Geyser. It remains the most predictable geographical feature in the world due to its consistent and continuous eruptions almost every 90 minutes. Each powerful eruption shoots 3,700 – 8,400 gallons of boiling hot water at average height of 144 feet. If available, strap on a pair of snowshoes and set off on a one of the nearby trails. Then, you can travel down to gorgeous Grand Teton National Park and view the breathtaking scene of the peaks that Theodore Roosevelt described as “what mountains are supposed to look like.” You can also travel to the National Elk Refuge for photos of the wild elk in their winter habitat at the base of the Grand Tetons. The National Elk Refuge is the world’s largest wintering concentration of elk. Nearby is the famed Jackson Hole area where you can stay at least one night in the Antler Inn. Here, you can browse the quaint shops as part of the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. From here, find your way home. Be sure to check the National Weather Service often for safe highway travel. I have written about traveling from Arizona to Palm Springs and then to Los Angeles area and on up to Santa Barbara, San Francisco, Napa Valley and continuing to Lake Tahoe, here are some of the points of interest you can experience on this route. Take a full day to drive from home to lovely Palm Springs. It’s not that far and you can arrive here by the early afternoon, giving you time to find a motel or hotel for a night’s stay if you don’t have reservations, however these are recommended since many visit here in winter. Take time to browse the downtown area shops, small restaurants and art galleries. If this doesn’t interest you, check out the movie theatres to find out what is playing. Visiting Los Angeles see a few movie and

TV studios and drive down Sunset Boulevard out to the beach. You will pass through Beverly Hills on the way. Lunch may be in order here. You might even see a movie or TV star. They dress down and wear dark glasses with frumpy hats pulled down over their faces. If you spot one or two, don’t run up to them asking for autographs, just give a glance and move on. They hate being bombarded by fans on the street or in restaurants. At the beach section of the Los Angeles area – perhaps Santa Monica, you might enjoy an ocean view room. This is a friendly Southern California beach city. Nearby Venice is also interesting. Los Angeles also has some of the ﬁnest museums found in the United States. Stop at one or two of those that have interest for you. The symphony is also one of the ﬁnest in the world. The Los Angeles Opera is also very good and there are many opportunities to enjoy live theatre. Buy a copy of the Los Angeles Times weekend edition to discover what’s playing and other entertainment information. Moving north about 100 miles on Route 101 is Santa Barbara. Continuing northward on Highway 101 you will pass through the woods of Big Sur and later you can stop

by Carmel for a short walk around the little shops in the downtown area. Next, visit beautiful Monterey where you will ﬁnd a lovely city spread over the seaside. It offers museums, parks and plenty of shopping opportunities. In San Francisco you might book a tour that will take you past some of the more interesting sections of this city. One of these is Pier 39, the famed marketplace ﬁlled with shops, attractions and street performers. Be sure to visit the pier’s resident sea lion population. Other tour highlights will include famed Fisherman’s Wharf and China Town. On another day head across the Golden Gate Bridge for a visit to Sonoma in the Napa Valley. Wine is the big attraction here and you will want to take time to visit a couple wineries to taste and perhaps purchase a couple bottles. There is also the wine train, which you can book for either a gourmet lunch or dinner to enjoy while the train moves slowly down the tracks. If weather permits, you can continue through the state capitol of Sacramento and onwards to Lake Tahoe in the high mountains. We’ll discuss more of these highway opportunities soon.

S AWMILL T HEATRES Classics reinvented IN THE KITCHEN

201 West Main Street • 468-7535

When you are looking for a taste of yesteryear this holiday season, look no further than your pantry for a staple you can incorporate into holiday meals, including snacks, breakfast, the big dinner and even desserts. Instant white or brown rice and multi-grain blends provide easy ways to put a fresh twist on traditional recipes your family knows and loves. For a delicious, modern take on classic family favorites, look for ways to integrate current or seasonal flavors that complement the original recipe. Start new family mealtime traditions with easy recipe makeovers. For example, traditional broccoli, cheese and rice casserole only gets better with bacon, and using quinoa adds a subtle new texture. You can also give your sweet potato casserole a lift with white or brown rice for an updated take on this revered dish. Using a quick and wholesome ingredient like fluffy Minute Rice saves cooking time so you can transform your favorite recipes while spending less time in the kitchen and more time with loved ones. These recipes demonstrate how to update recipes from a frittata and casserole to dressing and stuffing for new ways to enjoy the classics this holiday season.

RIM HISTORY RIM HISTORY RIM COUNTRY HISTORY | TIM EHRHARDT

THE FOOTPRINT OF PAYSON

Map 1 This is a clip from a survey map of Township 10N and Range 10E, Gila and Salt River Meridian, that was performed in 1904 by the United States General Land Office. “P.O.” on the map is the post office, which was in the Boardman building at that time. A replica of the front of this building is now at Main Street and McLane. You can see the road cut to the south from there, which is basically today’s McLane Road headed south from Main Street. The school is about where Julia Randall Elementary School is today. That is the historic school site for Payson. Fort McDonald hill seems a little too far to the west to me. It is located above and to the right of Chilson on the map. For a long time, this was the footprint of Payson, the “townsite” if you will. Nearby were other ranches – Robertson’s and some other fields can be seen in this clip, but Payson really was where “P.O.” and “School” are located on this map.

Map 2 This is a zoomed in look at Gila County Plat Map 64, the Payson Townsite. While the townsite had been laid out in the 1880s, it was never registered with the authorities and as land started to be patented in the area, it created problems. By 1930 the problem was resolved and this plat map was recorded. There are a couple of items to highlight. One is the very narrow lots. Second are the road names. First, Second and Third streets are now Frontier, Cherry and Summit streets. McLane Road was a mix of Highland and Pine roads, with a straight-through piece now closed in. Over the next 40 years Payson expanded mostly west and east as it started to be developed. Even when the Payson Ranchos subdivision was developed in the late 1950s, it was marketed as being “two miles north of Payson.” Payson though was still just a place on the map, not an incorporated place. That would change in the 1970s. The 1960s were a time of signiﬁcant growth for the area and by the end of a decade a sewer system was created. Incorporation of the town was a logical next step. It had been discussed off and on for at least a decade. What would an incorporated Payson look like?

Map 3 This map was in the Payson Roundup in 1971 and provides a basic feel for the direction of Payson as viewed at the time. Much of this map has come to fruition. It’s not perfect. For example Main Street was projected to be a much more major road east of Highway 87 than it is now, but many of the same roads, as well as projected uses match what we have today. Map 4 This map from 1973 shows what was developed in Payson at the time. Most of the subdivisions are on land patents, but there are some exceptions, most notably Payson North. The land for this development was obtained via Forest Service land swap. This also shows the area that was incorporated by the town. For more than 40 years this has been the footprint of the town, allowing room for growth within town limits.

It’s time to take a little bit of a step back in time and take a brief look at how the shape of Payson has evolved over TIM EHRHARDT the years. The four maps pictured above and to the left will help guide us. Chronologically, the maps are from 1904, top left; 1930, left; 1971, top right; and 1973, above (bottom right).

COVER STORY | CHUCK JACOBS

Jeepin’ the Rim Country Memorize the basics for stayin’ alive Our Rim Country is an excellent place for Jeeps and Jeepin’ - And there are a lot of Jeeps around. Heck, the next time you’re sitting at the stoplight at Beeline and Highway 260, take a moment and look around. Chances are you’ll see a Jeep or two. Now, most of what I write about will pertain to other kinds of four wheel drive vehicles as well, and I’m certainly not putting anyone down, but I’m a Jeep guy… and I freely admit to being a little bit of a Jeep snob as well. One of the things that we are continually told as four-wheelers is to never go out alone. Always have another rig with you in case you break down, get stuck, or have some other kind of unforeseen event. We’ve all heard that many times, but the truth is most of us still go out by ourselves at least once in a while. It may be because we are only planning on being out for a short time or that all of our regular Jeepin’ buddies are busy or even that we want to get out in the woods alone for a bit of “me time”. While you can never guarantee that you won’t get stranded out somewhere, there are some simple common sense things that you can do to keep that nice afternoon drive from turning into a battle for your very survival. • Tell someone where you are going. If you don’t have an exact route or destination planned, at least a general direction will certainly help if you don’t come home when you say you will. Even a note left on your kitchen table is better than nothing. • Always carry warm clothes with you… even in the summer. The Number 1 risk to your life out there is environmental… too cold or too hot. When the relative humidity is low, which is much of the year around here, the difference between daytime and nighttime temperatures can be as much as 40 degrees. To put that into perspective... a pleasantly sunny 75 degree afternoon can turn into a miserably cold 35 degree night. If it’s also breezy, the wind chill can be down into the 20s. If you managed to fall into a creek or something and get wet, it can be even worse. We humans don’t handle temperature extremes very well, and hypothermia can be a real killer. Take an old gym bag or something similar, put a warm change of clothes in it with a bath towel or two, and keep it in your rig all the time. Remember to include suitable shoes too - in case you have to walk out. Putting everything in a plastic bag first will help keep it clean and dust-free. We all know how dusty everything gets in the back of a Jeep. • Water and food; especially water. We can survive for several days without food, but we have to have water, even more so when it is hot in the summer. There are a lot of out-of-the-way spots inside our vehicles where we can stick a couple bottles of water. They will keep for a long time, but it is best to change them out every so often so they don’t get stale. Emergency food can be

something as simple as a couple packages of beef jerky and trail mix. They will keep for some time without refrigeration, but should also be replaced periodically. • Think about shade and shelter. Your vehicle, an inexpensive 8-foot-by-10-foot plastic tarp, a handful of bungee cords, and a little imagination can create a simple shade shelter to protect you from sun and rain if you get stranded out somewhere. It doesn’t take up much room in your rig and should be carried with you all the time. If the tarp is bright orange, or some other highvisibility color, it will make it easier for rescuers to spot you if you are lost or stranded. • Have the necessary stuff with you to build and maintain a fire. Again, it can get darn cold out there at night, and a campfire can make it a lot more tolerable. Have more

than one type of fire-starter, learn how to get a fire going under wet and cold conditions, and learn how to have a fire without having it get away from you and starting a wildfire. It seems like every year we hear about someone who goes out for a short ride wearing shorts and a T-shirt… and then something happens and they get stranded. A little simple preparation can keep something like this from turning into a life-threatening event. Happy Jeepin’ ... A FEW MORE TIPS

Before heading out, get some maps. The Payson Ranger Station for the Tonto National Forest carries a great collection of maps that can be beneficial in planning an outing and giving you a sense of the terrain.

Once winter sets in, many of the Forest Roads are closed to minimize damage and the danger rough, unmaintained routes might pose to recreational travelers. Check with the staff in the Ranger Station Visitor Center about closures and conditions when picking up your maps. Naturally, take your cell phone with you and a charger that can plug into your indash cigarette lighter or one of the new units that carry a self-contained charging system. Also be aware that getting out in the back country you could possibly lose cell service. While four-wheeling is a fun adventure, drivers should be just as conscientious on the back roads as they are on the highways - Don’t drink and drive. Use safety restraints and don’t travel at excessive speeds.

Get some sleep Battling crowded shopping centers. Purchasing last minute gifts. Party preparations. Travel arrangements. Hosting family. In addition to cheer and excitement, the holidays also seem to bring never-ending “to do” lists that often cause you to sacrifice basic needs in order to check off every task. One of the first things many people give up is a good night’s sleep – not knowing the crucial role that it plays in staying healthy throughout the holiday rush. Getting enough sleep is crucial to immune function, memory and other vital functions that keep you going. According to research published in the journal Sleep, lack of sleep can have the same effect on your body as physical stress or illness, causing you to overproduce white blood cells as if you are fighting an infection.1 A good night’s sleep won’t grant you immunity from stress or illness, but getting the recommended eight hours of sleep a night can have a positive impact on your health and ability to successfully manage your day. Dr. Heith Durrence, a PhD in Psychology with a specialty in Behavioral and Sleep Medicine, explains that, “Maintaining a consistent sleep schedule is essential for the health of your immune system. Practicing good bedtime habits will help ensure your body is equipped to handle the busyness and stress of the holidays.” To improve your sleep during the holiday season, Dr. Durrence recommends: Ensuring your bedroom environment is welcoming and associated with sleep by removing distractions, keeping room temperature cool and using curtains to block unnatural light Developing a calming routine before bedtime, such as taking a warm bath or listening to relaxing music Avoiding using mobile phones and tablets before bedtime, as the LED lights can suppress melatonin levels Don’t eat greasy, spicy or protein-filled foods before bedtime, which can disrupt digestion or upset your stomach For some people, practicing good bedtime habits alone may not be enough. Each year in the United States, 40 million people experience sleep problems and 4 million people have chronic insomnia. While insomnia affects people in different ways, staying asleep is the number one reported problem of people with the condition. If you think you need additional help with your sleep problems, speak with your health care provider about your routine, lifestyle and symptoms. If you are diagnosed with insomnia, your health care provider may prescribe a prescription medication. Managing stress and staying healthy starts at night. Practicing good bedtime habits can help strengthen your immune system so you are able to power through and enjoy the busy holidays. From Family Features

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The New Year brings challenges that can change many things in your life. You need to be prepared not only to confront them, but also to deal with what happens afterward. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You have what it takes to set your goals quite a bit higher this year. Learn what you need to know and put what you learn into your efforts. A partner offers loving support. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) In true Gemini Twin fashion, you’re conflicted about a decision you know you’ll have to make in this New Year. Best advice: Get the facts before you make any commitment. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A friend offers you an exciting opportunity for this New Year. Although your positive aspects are strong in most respects, caution is advised. Investigate before you invest. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You can make this New Year a roaring success. Start by readjusting your goals to reflect the changes in the economy. Your denmate offers both wise and loving support. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) The New Year brings new opportunities for change. But you need to be ready to move from the comfortable status quo to the challenging unknown. It’s up to you. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your most important New Year’s resolution should be to work out problems with a family member in order to avoid continuing misunderstandings. Do it soon, for both of your sakes. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) The New Year has much to offer the intensely determined Scorpian, who isn’t afraid to take on challenges and stay with them until they surrender their rewards. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You’ll have many fine opportunities in this New Year. But be warned: Reject offers of “help.” You work best when you’re free to be your own creative self. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) The New Year offers changes that you might feel you’re not quite ready for. Best advice: Deal with them one step at a time, until you’ve built up your self-confidence. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Travel is a dominant aspect of the New Year. This could mean relocating to another city (or even another country) in connection with your education or your career. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This New Year brings news about a change you’ve been anticipating. You might have a problem persuading a loved one about your new plans, but he or she will soon go along with them. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gift for making people feel safe and protected. You would make an excellent youth counselor. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.
