or three decades, Dale Gilbert has produced award-winning beadwork and helped preserve the traditional patterns of his people. This year he is co-chair for the Veterans Powwow in San Carlos November 12-13th. It will be the first Veterans’ Powwow to be held in 19 years. “We should have a big big crowd,” says Dale. “We’ve moved from the 7-mile community building to the San Carlos football field.” The event is a 2-day program of song and dance and competition. Old and young included, even the tiny tots, ages 0-5. “They’re all winners,” Dale says. Prize money is paid to the top dancers. Reverence is paid to the art form. “There is no drinking or drug use at Powwow,” says the co-chair. The powwow will feature two world-class singing groups – Cozad from Oklahoma and Northern Drum from Barstow CA. Dancers from the east coast and Canada are expected.The tribe has pre-booked rooms in Globe hotels and there is free camping space available in the back of the school. There will be 20 vendors selling food and arts and crafts.
This is my favorite time of the year. As the days are cooling, I am spending my time in the gardens. The soil is soft from recent rains and easy to work. My body enjoys this type of exercise with the coolness of the season. Jobs that are much needed this season; prepping tree wells, fixing support structures, mulching and composting, clearing spent veggies, and planting cool-season crops. You might notice in your garden deciduous fruit, and nut trees will drop their leaves. If you have pomegranate trees, celebrate as the sweetness happens with the cooler nights. It’s time to back off on watering trees and only water now during dry spells. Generally, I water my orchard once a month in Fall and Winter. Checking soil moisture will help keep your trees healthy through the winter months and avoid overwatering.

PAUL WOLTERBEEK:
Award-winning Amateur Winemaker Takes Best of Show at the Fair STORY BY LINDA GROSS ; PHOTOS BY PAUL WOLTERBEEK
Globe resident Paul Wolterbeek loves pomegranates with an ardor perhaps bordering on obsession. Last Fall, with some help from friends but mostly on his own, he collected 1,300 pounds of pomegranates from about a dozen properties across Globe-Miami, turning his bounty into award-winning wines at this year’s Gila County Fair. His homemade pomegranate-mulberry captured ‘Best In Show’, and his other wines garnered blue ribbons. Wolterbeck has been picking pomegranates since receiving a sackful of the bright red fruit from a neighbor soon after he and his wife moved to Globe in 1994. “I had no idea how to eat ‘em or what to do with ‘em,” he says. He bought a used citrus juice press and made his first batch of wine, and the rest, as they say, is history. He uses primarily the common ‘wonderful’ varietal but is also a fan of the thinner-skinned, lighter-juiced Paul Wolterbeek and friend Kelly Byrne crushing pomegranates. ‘paper shell yellow’ pomegranates. In addition to pomegranates, Wolterbeek says when he began juicing, he discovered many trees producing fruit in the front yards and backyards all around Globe and Miami. And just how few people ever pick their pomegranates!
