Welcome to The Rim Review.

With the unusual weather we have been having — as in way too warm for this time of year — if you are like me, you might be getting some serious spring fever.

While it is probably too soon to start putting in any vegetables or flowers, this is great weather for getting ready to make your garden grow. And of course, there is no harm in jumping into those spring cleaning jobs. But once those tasks are out of the way — or at least on their way — how about treating yourself to a concert.

The cover story in this edition is about the next program the Tonto Community Concert Association is bringing to town, plus the remaining performances of the 2011-2012 season.

The show, “American Spirit,” is at 7 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 28 at the Payson High School Auditorium. It features a multimember cast bringing the Rim Country the songs that identify the hopes, dreams and more that create the American spirit.

Also in this edition, you will find another in the series about the Wild West in the

around AZ ‘Dearest Alice’ at Blue Rose Theater Dearest Alice, an original historical play written by playwrights Karla and Lane Burkitt is being presented at Sharlot Hall Museum’s Blue Rose Theater, 415 W. Gurley St. in Prescott.

Tickets are $10 ($8 for museum members) in advance and $14 at the door. Call (928) 445-3122 for tickets and information; seating is limited. Performances are: 6:30 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 23; 7:30 p.m., Friday, Feb. 24; 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 25.

The play tells the touching frontier story of Col. Benjamin Grierson, who commanded the Fort Whipple barracks among his many military assignments, and his loving wife Alice.

The play features Karla and Lane as the Griersons.

Col. Grierson, a prominent Union officer during the Civil War, was known for organizing a regiment of Buffalo Soldiers following the war. His support for and trust in his troops along with his courtesy to Native American tribes made him unpopular with many other officers, including his superiors.

Any modern woman who finds herself juggling multiple roles will discover a spiritual ancestor in Alice Kirk Grierson. The colonel’s lady spent most of her life at army outposts where she faced the problems of raising a family of seven children while fulfilling her duties as the wife of a commanding officer, particularly a somewhat unpopular one. A review of a published collection of her letters notes that the Griersons “are extraordinary for their insight into 19th century attitudes toward birth control, childbearing, marital roles, race relations, and mental illness.”

Sharlot Hall Museum, a Prescott landmark for more than 80 years, is located two blocks west of the Courthouse Plaza in downtown Prescott. For more information, visit www.sharlot.org or call (928) 445-3122.

Fruit tree pruning demonstrations It’s fruit tree pruning season and the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension, Yavapai County is offering three free deciduous fruit tree pruning demonstrations conducted by Extension Agent Jeff Schalau. Learn why, when, and how to prune your backyard fruit trees. Demonstrations will cover apples, pears, plums, peaches, nectarines, cherries, and more. Fertilization, irrigation and fruit thinning will also be discussed.

Two pruning demonstrations are scheduled. The first will be held at 10 a.m., Saturday, Feb. 25 at the Marmaduke Orchard, 3435 S. Silver Rd., Camp Verde. The second will be held at 10 a.m., Saturday, March 10 at the McLandress Orchard, 850 S. Maricopa St. in Chino Valley. Maps and directions to these workshops are also available on the Yavapai County Cooperative Extension Web site: cals.arizona.edu/yavapai/pruning/. Signs will also be posted prior to the workshops to help participants find the locations. Follow Extension Agent Jeff Schalau on Twitter (jeffschalau) and receive up to the minute information of any cancellations due to inclement weather.

Boyce Thompson Arboretum The Arboretum is an Arizona State Park located at Highway 60 milepost #223 near the historic copper mining town of Superior, 55 miles due east of Phoenix. The drive takes about two hours from Tucson via Highway 79 North through Florence to Highway 60 — then turn right and continue east another 12 miles.

Guided general tours of the main trail start from the visitor center at 11 a.m. and are offered daily continuing through April 30. They’re included with daily admission of $9 for adults or $4.50 for ages 5-12.

Bring your dog — pets are welcome at the Arboretum, provided they are well-behaved and leashed at all times. Trails are wheelchair accessible.

There is no restaurant at the Arboretum, but sandwiches, drinks and snacks are available in the gift shop. Picnic tables and charcoal grills are available for visitors to use; propane and charcoal are allowed, wood fires are not.

There is a Tree Tour at 1:30 p.m. on the third Sunday each month through April. “What’s an Arboretum?” Tom McDonald, owner of the Smiling Dog Landscapes Company in Gold Canyon, guides this Third Sunday Of The Month walk where visitors learn the answer to that often-posed question during a relaxed and leisurely guided tour through the forested areas of the Arboretum. Join us for a chance to learn about the Arboretum’s collection of oak and olive trees, native hackberry, mesquite and many more. BTA staff member and Certified Arborist Jeff Payne leads the walk in February.

Astronomy talk and star party For as long as humans have been in this corner of Arizona, looking to the heavens above must have been a fascination. Today this fascination continues because the area’s night sky is uniquely suited to stargazing.

On Saturday, March 10 Tonto National Monument along with the Tonto Basin Ranger District will host an afternoon of solar and planet viewing and in the evening an astronomy talk and star party at the Windy Hill Amphitheater at Roosevelt Lake. This interpretive event is presented by the Astronomers of Verde Valley.

Special activities include solar viewing, Jupiter and Venus viewing and a Night Sky Network Information tent from noon to 4 p.m. This will be followed by an astronomy talk from 6:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. and then the Astronomers of Verde Valley will have their telescopes out and will guide visitors through the cosmos to see many of the night sky’s fascinating nebulas, galaxies, constellations, and more from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.

This free program is open to everyone. Please bring a red light with you if you have one, and don’t forget to dress appropriately. From Globe, take SR 188 for 25 miles to the Windy Hill turnoff (MP 240). From Payson, turn left and continue on SR 188 until the Windy Hill turnoff, which is 4.5 miles past Roosevelt Dam. Follow the Windy Hill road for 2 miles to the amphitheater on your left.

For further information or if you have any questions, please call Tonto National Monument at (928) 467-2241. For more information on Tonto National Monument please visit the monument Web site at www.nps.gov/tont.

TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS

VOYAGES TO REMEMBER

Vacations are meant for making memories and sometimes there are those that we start with no idea how they will make their mark in our memories. I can recall a few such experiences, as you probably can as well. Today, I will outline a few travels that could become especially memorable.

Only a few months ago it was my pleasure to enjoy a month in the Mediterranean area. This year, Holland America Lines is offering a 22-day voyage departing Sept. 23, 2012 from Barcelona, Spain.

After flying to Spain, you proceed to the dock area and board the Ryndam. In fact, I would get to KEN BROOKS Barcelona a couple days before the ship sails in order to do some sightseeing in and around this most interesting city. It’s clean, safe and visually interesting and beautiful.

Then on Sept. 23 you board the lovely ship and off you go first to Palma de Mallorca, which lies southwest of Barcelona in the Mediterranean and is a major vacation spot for northern Europeans in winter months. This is a beautiful island and rather large. You can book a tour that will take you into the countryside to see how beautiful the island is. There are many vineyards as well as fairly high mountains. Palma is the main city. Most of the waterfront is lined with modern hotels.

Next, you sail to Cagliari, Sardinia for a full day, followed by a day in Trapani, Sicily, Italy. Then it is onto North Africa for a day of sightseeing in Tunis and Carthage, Tunisia. It should be warm and sunny here because you are right on the edge of the Sahara Desert.

Next, the ship goes to Valletta, Malta where you can digest the history of the island followed by a stop in Rome for a day. There is interesting scenery from the Rome port of Civitavecchia inland to the city, which takes an hour and a half. Rome city sightseeing would be a must if you have not visited here for a few years. You tend to forget how great the history is in this part of the world and one day of sightseeing here is well worth the time and expense.

After Rome, you sail on to one of my favorite cities in the world, Florence. Even the drive from the port of Livorno to Florence is interesting. There is so much history and beauty here it boggles the mind. Use your day wisely with an all encompassing tour, which will include the major points of Florence as well as a stop at Pisa for some photos of the leaning tower.

Now, a most interesting stop will be Monte Carlo, Monaco to see how the upper crust of Europe lives and vacation. A full day is spent here then, back for a full day in Barcelona, Spain before moving on to Palermo and Catania, Sicily, Italy.

From here, you sail southeast to Katakolon, Greece with time to take a shore excursion to the original site of

the Olympics. Then sail on to Corfu, Greece as well as one of the more interesting cities in the general area, Dubrovnik, Croatia where you will have a full day to explore. Next is a most fascinating town, Kotor in Montenegro. You can walk the cobblestone streets to see the shops and perhaps purchase some gifts to take back home.

Naples, Italy is the last port of call before arriving back in Barcelona.

This 22-day itinerary will provide you with a wide variety of sights and sounds and plenty of opportunities to photograph history of yesteryear. Call Holland America Line for more information and request a brochure. Phone 1-877-SAIL-HAL or www.hollandamericablog.com.

If you hate long flights, look at Holland America Lines unusual itinerary sailing in the Maasdam departing Boston July 14, 2012 and heading to Amsterdam for a two-day stay then returning to Boston. The total itinerary takes 35 days. Here are the highlights: Corner Brook, Newfoundland; Red Bay, Labrador; Nanortalik, Greenland; Reykjavik, Iceland; Geiranger, Norway as well as cruising the famous Norwegian Fjords, and stops at Alsund and Bergen, Norway and stopping in Amsterdam for two full days.

You may stay on the ship during this time if you prefer.

Then, the Maasdam sails to Southampton and Plymouth, England before docking in Dublin, Ireland for two days.

Then, on to Toirshavn, Faroe Islands, Seydisfordur and Akureyri, Iceland and after a day at sea docking in Qjaqortog, Greenland then one day at sea before visiting St. Anthony and St. John’s, Newfoundland, before reaching Bar Harbor, Maine for a full day, and then back to your starting point. If you can get away for 35 days you will be sure to experience most interesting sailing and sightseeing. Some of the locations on the itinerary are not frequently visited by Americans. Holland America Line is offering this unique cruise at a bargain mark down price, so look into it if you think you have the time and money to take the cruise.

Here is another itinerary you would enjoy, which we did about four years ago. This particular voyage is also a Holland America Line cruise, but other cruise lines offer about the same this year. Consult a travel agent and they will offer you up-to-date brochures and advice.

The next cruise I am going to mention with HAL requires you to fly to Sydney, Australia where you can spend three or four days exploring in and around this major city, which is loaded with fascinating sights and then boarding the Zaandam Nov. 25, 2012 and sail to New Zealand for a very comprehensive sightseeing program stopping in Milford Sound, which is often seen in publication photographs, as well as Stewart Island, Port Chalmers for Duniden, Lyttelton for Christchurch, Napier, Tauranga, Auckland, and the Bay of Islands before returning to Sydney. This is 14 days of exciting cruising and sightseeing. You’ll never forget the high

mountains of the South Island and green of the North Island. The people are most friendly and this late spring cruise should present a wonderful vacation.

Tauck Tours is chartering the French cruise ship, L’Austral, which was commissioned only last year and carries less than 500 guests and offers up-scale dining, beautiful interiors and service. This vacation is titled Poets, Authors, Painters & You. You fly into Venice, Italy and check into a hotel. After some extensive sightseeing and local cruising the area you board the L’Austral and sail the Adriatic Sea to visit and explore Sibenik, Split, Hvar, Karcula, Dubrovnik and Kotor in both Croatia and Montenegro. These towns and cities are quite ancient and worth every minute you have for sightseeing.

A voyage to Antarctica featuring the Falkland Islands and South Georgia is one of those cruises that few Americans take, but those that do seem to fully enjoy the experience. Personally, I am not that interested in frozen terrain and icebergs, but if that interests you, several cruise lines are doing it this year. The most popular time is during our winter (their summer) and the ships fill up.

The ships offer landings ashore in special boats so you may walk among the creatures that live there, mostly penguins. I would rather cruise the Caribbean at this time of year. I’ll take warm over cold! Again, consult a travel agent for their advice and counseling.

I continue to recommend a Baltic cruise and its most fascinating itinerary. Several cruise lines offer this and they almost all would include some time in Stockholm, perhaps Helsinki, Finland, at least three days in St. Petersburg, Russia, which is loaded with castles of the czars and assorted Russian Royal Family, as well as scenic canals, some of the best museums in the world for art and then there is music and ballet.

You might also cruise to Tallinn, Estonia, Riga, Latvia, Copenhagen, Denmark, and Warnemude, Germany for a chance to go inland to Berlin, then cruise the Kiel Canal and perhaps a stop in Belgium before reaching your final stop at Dover for London. Each cruise line varies this itinerary, but at least it should include Stockholm, Copenhagen and St. Petersburg. July and August are the best times for a Baltic cruise.

A thrilling river cruise for 24 remarkable days begins in Amsterdam and visits Koln, Koblenz, Aschaffenburg, Rothenburg, Bamberg, the main Danube Canal, Regensburg, Passau, Melk, Durnstein, Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest, Kalocsa, Vukobar, Belgrade Veliko, Cernaboda on the Black Sea Coast and ends in Bucharest. I would like to do this cruise within the next two years. It so well encompasses Western and Middle Europe and you do not have to change planes, coaches or boats. One riverboat does it all. Several major river cruise companies do this itinerary.

As we have said before, a round-the-world cruise is the ultimate voyage.

Maybe someday.

IN THE KITCHEN | FAMILY FEATURES

Budget-friendly family fun These days, enjoying one another’s company on a budget is even more important for families. So take a break from the ordinary and settle into the comforts of the best playground around — the home.

Remember that family time should be silly, lighthearted, and above all, about creating special bonding moments. Here are a few entertaining at-home activities the entire family can enjoy without dipping into savings.

• Explore the great indoors. Everyone loves a good scavenger hunt. Divide the family into teams and race to see who can find the most items on the list first. Don’t forget to have prizes for the winners. Better-for-you treats, such as Dark Chocolate Nestlé Raisinets, which provide real fruit antioxidants and 30 percent less fat than the leading chocolate brands, make for the perfect scavenger hunt prize or for snacking on-the-go.

• Switch it up with backwards day. Shake up the evening routine by doing everything backwards. Put on your comfy pajamas right after school and even flip them backwards or inside out. Get together for a board game with a twist and move the pieces from finish to start. Make your end of day meal more festive by serving breakfast for dinner or eating dessert as the first course. The kids will certainly get a kick out of bending the rules.

• Create a backyard obstacle course if the weather is suitable. Collect some old produce boxes from your local grocery store; they’re usually available free of charge. Then, stagger the boxes on your lawn for the kids to run through in different patterns. Set up a backyard bowling game with recycled empty bottles just before the finish line. You can add other obstacles such as a limbo stick, hopscotch with ropes or anything else you like from materials around the house — the sky is the limit.

• Make dinner a family affair. Research consistently shows that families who regularly eat together are closer and happier than those who don’t. Try a one-pot dish such as this White Chicken Chili made with fiber-rich beans, tender chicken and creamy Nestlé Carnation Evaporated Milk for a hearty dinner ready in 30 minutes or less.

For more budget-friendly family recipes and activities, visit www.Meals.com.

WHITE CHICKEN CHILI Makes 8 servings of about 1 cup each 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1-1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast tenders 1 medium onion, chopped 1 clove garlic, chopped 1 tablespoon ground cumin 1-1/2 teaspoons ground coriander 1 to 1-1/2 cups mild salsa verde 1, 15-ounce can cannellini beans, drained 1, 15-ounce can pinto beans, drained 1 cup water 1/2 cup loose-pack frozen corn 1, 12-ounce can Nestlé Carnation Evaporated Low-fat 2% Milk 1 cup fresh spinach leaves Baked tortilla chips and light sour cream for serving (optional) Heat oil in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook on each side until golden. Transfer to plate; cover.

Add onion to same saucepan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent. Add garlic; cook for 30 seconds. Stir in cumin and coriander; cook for 30 seconds. Stir in salsa verde, cannellini beans, pinto beans, water and corn. Cook for 10 minutes or until hot.

Cut or shred chicken into bite-size pieces and add to saucepan along with any accumulated juices on plate. Stir in evaporated milk and spinach; cook for a few minutes just until heated through and spinach is slightly wilted. Serve topped with crumbled tortilla chips and dollop of sour cream.

MORE BUDGET FUN — BRING THE FAMILY TOGETHER IN THE KITCHEN It’s not always easy to make healthy food choices, particularly if it

White Chicken Chili involves changing your eating habits. Start by bringing your loved ones together in the kitchen — studies have proven that cooking together as a family not only strengthens the bond between parents and children, but encourages healthy eating habits.

Allowing kids to help in the kitchen and get their hands dirty by washing, measuring and mixing teaches them where their food comes from and builds a sense of accomplishment. Cooking healthy meals together is the perfect family activity to encourage healthy habits and reinforce family time. The trick is finding recipes that encourage participation from children of all ages and make parents happy with good healthful nutrients and flavor.

“Cooking recipes that include whole grain ingredients like rice can lead to better meal options for your family as it attracts healthier, more colorful foods such as vegetables and fruits,” says Chef Chris Skolmutch, culinary innovation manager for Mars Food USA and participant in the Chefs Move to Schools campaign.

“Rice serves as the perfect kitchen ingredient because kids enjoy making and eating meals that are simple yet tasty, while parents want to make sure they’re eating something full of proteins, fiber and vitamins.”

For families looking for ways to get together in the kitchen and start cooking, here are a few tips provided by Rachael Ray’s Yum-O, a nonprofit, which empowers kids and their families to develop healthy relationships with food and cooking: • Measuring: Allow your kids to measure ingredients using traditional tools (i.e. cups and teaspoons), and nonconventional methods (i.e. pinch and dash), to build their own sense of taste.

• Knives and cutting: Instruct your children on how to use kitchen

shears instead of knives to cut things like herbs and soft fruits and vegetables until they (and you) are comfortable with them using knives.

• Clean up time: Teach your children the importance of cleaning cutting utensils and cutting boards after finishing up, especially when handling raw meat or poultry.

RIM HISTORY RIM HISTORY BACK WHEN | STAN BROWN

The Wild West in the Rim Country CHAPTER 13: THE SELF-INFLICTED KILLING OF A TRAPPER Wayside graves are always intriguing. When we stumble across them they raise so many questions. One can discover just such an interesting monument while driving slowly and watchfully along the Forest Road 300 on the Mogollon Rim. This famous scenic drive along the edge of the Rim follows somewhat faithfully the trail blazed by General George Crook in the early 1870s. His purpose was to connect Forts Verde and Apache and enable troop movement that could cut off the northern escape of renegade Indians.

Driving from west to east, as one approaches a sign noting “Leonard Canyon” a gravesite can be seen on the right, just off the road. This spot also happens to be the place where, STAN BROWN in the late summer of 1872, General Crook’s two crews met, blazing the trail from both ends. In those days it was called “Deadshot Canyon” after a renegade Apache with that name who had been apprehended here.

Leonard Canyon is of interest in itself for several other matters of Rim Country history. It is the border between the Coconino and Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests.

To discover how the name “Leonard Canyon” originated we turn to columnist and historian James E. Cook. He grew up helping his dad who was a ranger at General Springs, and he gives this interesting account: A female fire dispatcher at the Long Valley Ranger Station, named Leolin L. Oldham (born in Payson, 1898) was the daughter of Dr. Leonard, a physician at one time in the Payson area. Mrs. Oldham related that before her father was a physician, he and his brother Jim Leonard came to the area from Chicago and built a cabin on the ridge that overlooks Knoll Lake.

After he became a practicing physician, Dr. Leonard moved to Payson to take up his practice, and soon he married Anabella Fuller of Pine. He was also employed by some of the mining companies in the area, and did much of his traveling by horse and buggy on the primitive roads that surrounded Payson.

After he died, the family spread his ashes in this area that he loved. The canyon forms the drainage that leads toward the Rim and for obvious reasons came to be called Leonard Canyon.[1] About 500 yards before crossing the border between the two national forests there is a rectangular gravesite, raised and bordered with native stones. A crude granite marker at the foot of the area simply states, “G. D. Bantz died Oct. 6, 1895,” although the date is faint and uncertain.

Gottlieb D. Bantz was born in Switzerland, according to his signature in the Great Register of Gila County, September 1894, and he was naturalized several years before that in 1890. According to New York passenger ship records, he arrived in America on the 4th of July 1881. He also registered in the Tonto precinct in 1896, and again (his last entry in public records) in 1898 he signed the Great Register at Tonto.[2] We would wish to know his story from the time he came to America until he became a trapper on the Mogollon Rim, but there seems no way to uncover his odyssey. What we do know is that sometime in October in the mid to late 1890s he was driving a team of burros toward the Tonto Basin, loaded with the pelts he had trapped.

Now to ask the question, how did G. D. Bantz die and

who buried him there?

In 1968, Superintendent Morrison of the Forest Service asked retired Payson District Ranger Fred W. Croxen to recall the story about this grave.

Croxen related the story as he had heard it from rancher Lewis Pyle.

“G. D. Bantz was a trapper and burro man. As the story goes, he had summered in the high country and was leaving for the Tonto Basin for the winter. A storm was coming up and he was in a hurry to get off the Rim and to warmer climate.

“He was driving his burros, with packs on them. To hurry one of them he punched it with the butt of his shotgun. Unfortunately it discharged and the load hit his stomach. The burros continued on down the trail.

When Mr. Bantz failed to come with them, a party or parties went up the trail and found him. I don’t know whether he had died or not. He was buried where he fell.

And that’s the story as it was told to me by Lewis Pyle of Payson.”[3] The grave is along the trail built by Anderson Lee “Babe” Haught and his brother. It leads around the west side of the Tonto Fish Hatchery and to the old Haught homesteads along Tonto Creek. This Babe Haught Trail was used by the settlers to pack crops, cattle and supplies between their ranchers under the Rim and the railroad connection at Winslow.

When I asked the late Richard Haught, son of A. L. Babe Haught, about the Bantz story he had a different version to tell. “It was said Bantz had a wagon and come around there, and some wild turkeys jumped up. He grabbed his gun out of the wagon and it shot him.”

I asked Richard who found his body, and he said, “I don’t know. Whoever was in the wagon, whoever it was.”

I pressed for more, “Did you know anything about Bantz as a person?”

Haught answered, “No, I didn’t know a thing.”

It is easy to see how Rim Country stories get conflicting versions, but all things taken together I am ready to believe as most authentic the Lewis Pyle rendition.

Another mystery surrounds the grave marker itself.

The archaeologist’s record at the headquarters for the Coconino National Forest in Flagstaff states, “The present headstone on the Bantz grave did not exist at the time of death. From 1956 to 1966 a wooden cross was on the grave.[4] The cross, suffering from poor repair, completely disappeared in the late ’60s. Sometime from 1968 to 1973, the rock headstone appeared containing the information on the old wooden cross. It is not known who chiseled the rock headstone.”

That headstone inscription was pecked out with a nail, and the lettering is very crude. The date of death, “Oct. 6” is evident, but the year is questionable. Some read 1896, and yet a “5” is more clearly chiseled, probably at another time, making it 1895. In either case, Bantz’s signature in the Great Register in Tonto Basin for 1898 would eliminate either of those years.

While Gottlieb D. Bantz was not murdered by someone else on that lonely trail, his foolish decision to punch the burro with a gun while the muzzle of the gun faced him was an obviously unwise act. One might say he murdered himself.

NEXT: The Murder of Clint Wingfield [1] In Arizona Place Names Will Barnes says this canyon was named for a W. B. Leonard, “a sheepman who in the mid-1870s had a trading post at Ganado. His last home for several years was near Navajo Springs.”

This seems like a very unlikely source of the name, and we prefer Mrs. Oldham’s eyewitness version.

[2] Just to make our search interesting if not confusing, someone named G. D. Bantz was found in Missouri

Sometime from 1968 to 1973, this rock headstone appeared containing the information on the old wooden cross.

in the 1880s, and an attorney by that name is found in New Mexico in the 1890s, even becoming an associate justice on the New Mexico Supreme Court. Could this be a son of “our” G. D. Bantz?

[3] This correspondence can be found in the Croxen files at the Rim Country Museum in Payson.

[4] The reference to 1956 simply means the first time a recorded study of the gravesite was registered at the forest headquarters.

RIM REVIEW COLUMNIST PUBLISHES BOOK Stan Brown, who has contributed history columns to The Rim Review and Payson Roundup for many years, has published a historical novel, “Andres and Delfina: A Saga of Hispanic Settlement in Arizona.” The book is historically accurate and took four years of careful research into the lives of Andres and Delfina Moreno. The research was prompted by the discovery of Mr. Moreno’s grave along the Rim Country’s Crook Trail on the side of Baker’s Butte.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Sonoran-born Delfina Mazon and Andres Moreno are in the vanguard of pioneer settlers in Arizona Territory.

He was a vaquero and Indian fighter with the Arizona Volunteers, making the first military forays into the forbidden area known as Apacheria. After mustering out of the Army he emigrated to the frontier town of Cebolleta, New Mexico, where he met Delfina.

Andres and Delfina emigrate to the Little Colorado River in Arizona, with dreams of owning their own ranch. They help to establish the beginnings of St. Johns, Ariz. The dream is shattered when their squatter’s rights are sold out from under them.

However, in spite of hardship and loss, they become respected citizens of Globe, Ariz. and raise a family of seven children who were destined to become movers and shakers in Arizona in the decades just before statehood. The story concludes with a twist of fate that changes everything for the Moreno family.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

After retiring from 40 years as a United Methodist pastor, Brown took up his avocation as a regional historian. He has published weekly essays in the newspapers of Payson and Prescott, Ariz., written several books and is an acknowledged scholar of Arizona history.

Many of his papers have been published in the Journal of Arizona History and The Smoke Signal published by the Tucson Corral of The Westerners. He has received first place awards for papers delivered at several annual Arizona History Conferences.

‘AMERICAN SPIRIT’ SOARS Concert association celebrates patriotism and history with next performance The Tonto Community Concert Association, in conjunction with Live On Stage, Inc., presents the musical “American Spirit,” as the 2011-2012 concert season continues.

Award-winning show producer Matt Davenport Productions will present its newest touring show, “American Spirit” at 7 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 28 at the Payson High School Auditorium.

More than a patriotic show, this fully costumed and choreographed production show, with a cast of 10 performers, will take the audience down memory lane through eyes of a slightly befuddled Mayor of Hometown, USA remembering the American Revolution, Civil War, jazz, Broadway, spirituals and more — America’s heroes on the battlefield and ball field rubbing elbows with entertainers and politicians alike.

“I saw something in my friends and neighbors that I recognize as uniquely American in the days and weeks after that infamous day, we wanted to put

that pride — that shared history — at center stage,” says Davenport.

Matt Davenport Productions has produced awardwinning box office success across the United States since 1992.

The Tonto Community Concert Association is committed to bringing quality entertainment to the Rim Country through an annual concert series and support of the fine arts in Payson schools.

Do you ever feel like you’ve got all your eggs in one basket, six balls in the air and 7,000 e-mails to return? Well, gather ’round The Water Coolers for a high energy, laugh-out-loud evening of award-winning song and sketch comedy.

For anyone who’s ever been held captive by a help line (“And Hold Please”), stalked by a sales parent (“Who Will Buy — This Crap for My Kid’s School?”), or found themselves judged by how many words a minute they can type with their thumbs

(“Blackberry”), The Water Coolers take a hilarious look at what we go through just making every week happen.

Simply put — it’s your life, but killer funny.

First presented off-Broadway in 2002 by Steven Baruch, Marc Routh, Richard Frankel, Tom Viertel, Pete Herber, Ross Meyerson, Ken Gentry and Rodger Hess, it received 2009 Ensemble Entertainer of the Year Spotlight Award from Event Solutions Magazine.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH | PAUL G. DONOHUE, M.D.

Blood Pressure: Both numbers are important DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I’ve always heard that at older ages, it doesn’t matter how high the first number of a blood pressure reading is; it’s bound to rise with age. My blood pressure is 185/70, and my doctor wants me to go on blood pressure medicine. My second number is fine. Why is he making a fuss? I am 67. I don’t like taking drugs. — W.S. ANSWER: You have heard wrong. Both numbers of a blood pressure reading are significant. If either is higher than normal, it indicates high blood pressure. It is true that systolic pressure, the first number, rises with age. And it is true that the second number, diastolic pressure, tends to plateau after age 50. However, a higher-than-normal systolic or diastolic pressure constitutes hypertension, high blood pressure.

The first number is the pressure imparted to blood when the heart pumps it into the aorta. It takes a great deal of pressure to circulate blood through all the body arteries. The second number is the pressure in the heart as it fills with blood. Normal pressure is less than 120/80. High blood pressure is 140/90 and above.

Numbers between those two pressures are called prehypertension, a short stop lower than actual high blood pressure.

You have high blood pressure, hypertension. Your doctor made a fuss because uncontrolled high blood pressure causes artery hardening, leads to strokes and heart attacks, puts the kidneys out of action, contributes to congestive heart failure and promotes dementia. Still think your pressure is OK? If you are overweight, weight loss brings pressure down. So does shunning salt. It’s not the salt shaker on the table that pushes people over the recommended daily limits (1,500 mg of sodium), but it is commercial foods. Become a reader of the sodium content of the foods you buy. Potassium lowers blood pressure.

Potassium-rich foods are baked potatoes, bananas, orange juice, peas, beans, milk, spinach, squash, watermelon, figs and cantaloupe.

Be as physically active as your doctor allows.

If your pressure doesn’t fall, then you have to resort to medicines. Eight large drug families, yielding more than 57 different medicines, give you a wide choice to bring your pressure down without side effects.

The booklet on high blood pressure will convince you of the importance of blood pressure control. To order a copy, write: Dr. Donohue — No. 104W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money

order for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Allow four weeks for delivery.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: What happened to DMSO? It used to be available, but it has disappeared. Why? — W.K. ANSWER: DMSO — dimethyl sulfoxide — was very popular as a treatment for arthritic joints. It is rubbed on the skin over the aching joint. The Food and Drug Administration never approved it for that use, and that may be why it lost its appeal.

There is a dedicated doctor and a dedicated group of DMSO fans who feel the same as you. They’re trying to get the FDA to re-evaluate its stance on this substance.

DMSO is approved for the treatment of interstitial cystitis, a painful bladder condition. The material is instilled into the bladder.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

Keep off the grass

BY SAMANTHA WEAVER KING FEATURES 2012

• The next time you travel to the United Kingdom, if you visit the university towns of Cambridge or Oxford, you should keep off the grass.

Professors are the only ones allowed to walk on most of the green swards in those towns.

• Have you ever known someone who keeps making the same error over and over again despite being corrected? The next time you run into this person, you’ll know what to call him or her: a mumpsimus.

• I’m sure you’ve seen photos of those picturesque covered bridges. It seems that they would have provided a welcome haven for people driving buggies caught out in the rain. You may be surprised to learn, though, that the bridges weren’t designed with a roof for the comfort of travelers. Being made of wood in an era before protec-

tive sealants, the bridges themselves needed to be protected from the elements.

• Most frogs lay their eggs in the water; that way, when the tadpoles hatch they are already in their element. The red-eyed tree frog, however, protects its eggs from aquatic predators by attaching its eggs to the underside of leaves that hang out over a body of water. Once the eggs hatch, the tadpoles fall into the water.

• In ancient Rome, it was widely believed that holding in gas could cause a person to catch a disease or become poisoned. This was such a concern to public health that Emperor Claudius went so far as to pass a law making it legal to fart at banquets.

• It was English philosopher Francis Bacon who made the following sage observation: “The root of all superstition is that men observe when a thing hits, but not when it misses.”

Tonto Community Concert series continues FROM PAGE 9

North Star Opera in St. Paul, Minn., as Eisenstein in “Die Fledermaus.” He has worked as an apprentice with numerous opera organizations including Central City Opera, Knoxville Opera, Des Moines Metro Opera and Baltimore Opera. McConico made his Baltimore Opera debut as the Coachman and Nihilist Teacher in “Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk” in 2003. With Baltimore Opera, he has also performed Don José in “La Tragédie de Carmen,” (Peter Brooks’ adaptation of “Carmen”), Ruiz in “Il Trovatore,” Bruno in “I Puritani,” Ruggero in Puccini’s “La Rondine,” and prepared the title role in “Faust,” Alfredo in “La Traviata,” and Pinkerton in “Madama Butterfly.”

Other roles in McConico’s repertoire include Il Duca in “Rigoletto,” Roméo and Tybalt in “Roméo et Juliette,” Rinuccio in “Gianni Schicchi,” the title roles in “Werther” and “Albert Herring,” and Florville in “Il Signor Bruschino.”

Internationally, McConico has made concert appearances in Palermo, Italy, and Tel Aviv, Israel, as well as domestic concerts with the Duluth Superior Symphony Orchestra and the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra, and recitals in Duluth, Minn., Bay View, Mich., and Lynchburg, Va. As a member of The American Tenors, Marcus has appeared in Hot Springs, Ark., and Auburn, Ala., and with the Redlands Symphony in California and with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra.

In 2006, his engagements included Pinkerton in “Madama Butterfly” with Duluth Festival Opera, Il Duca in “Rigoletto” and Ferrando in “Così fan tutte” for the Sieur Duluth Arts Festival, and Abdallo in “Nabucco” for Baltimore Opera. Marcus performed Frederic in “The Pirates of Penzance” for Opera Carolina in April 2007.

McConico holds a master’s degree in vocal performance from the University of Tennessee and a bachelor’s in vocal performance from the University of Minnesota Duluth, and he currently studies voice with Arthur Levy in New York.

Granner’s old school timbre and natural abilities are distinctive and rare. His voice has been described as buoyant, compelling, clean and resonant. Combining these qualities of tone with his exuberance, versatility and daring, he makes a captivating figure on any stage in every performance.

A native of the Midwest, Granner now lives in Kansas City, Mo. He has made principal debuts with Wolf Trap Opera Company, Opera Theatre Saint Louis, Lyric Opera of Kansas City, Tulsa Opera, Tampa Opera and the Pittsburgh Opera Center. He has performed with Glimmerglass Opera, Utah Festival Opera, Opera in the Ozarks, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, Irish Radio Orchestra, and the National Symphony Orchestra. Granner has also collaborated with the Kansas City Ballet to bring three world premiere performances to life. He was the featured soloist with the Kansas City Symphony for Maestro Michael Stern’s debut performance as music director.

Furthermore, Granner was the tenor soloist in “The Messiah” with the quintessential Handel/Haydn Oratorio Society under the baton of Maestro Grant Llewellyn.

During the fall of 2005 and spring 2006, Granner produced a successful double national tour, performing for nearly 33,000 patrons in 35 American cities with classical guitarist Beau Bledsoe and with soprano Lisa Williamson. Granner and Bledsoe’s second CD Departure, released in the fall of 2005, showcases an amazing array of classical, folk, flamenco and gospel music.

A family man and a congenial colleague, Granner is currently leading and producing, “I Do! I Do! A Musical About Marriage.” He is also working on a CD of hymns and sacred music in honor of his grandmother.

The arrangements by Bradley Cox are a collection of traditional American spirituals from hymns and gospel songs passed down through shape notes, oral traditions, folk song and some current renditions newly written with wise hands.

The up-and-coming American tenor, Gulley is a 2008 graduate of the University of Missouri-Kansas City Conservatory with a bachelor’s in vocal performance.

Gulley has been hailed “as an outstanding tenor … with a voice as seamless as simple speech” by the TulsaWorld.

Gulley is the recent winner of the Metropolitan Opera’s National Council district and regional competitions and a national semi-finalist. Other awards include the winner of the Hellam Young Artists’ Competition, Florida Grand Opera voice competition finalist, Richard Tucker Foundation finalist, Silver Medalist and People’s Choice Award from the Tulsa Rotary Clubs 10th

Annual Crescendo Music Competition, and a finalist for the prestigious Palm Beach Opera Competition among others. He has also received awards from the Gerda Lissner Foundation and Shreveport Opera’s Singer of the Year, including the Audience Favorite Award and Encouragement Awards.

He has recently been seen on the stages of Cedar Rapids Opera as the fourth Jew in “Salome” (his first HD broadcast), UMKC as the title role in Britten’s Albert Herring, Kansas Concert Opera as Turridu in “Cavalleria Rusticana,” Lt. Pinkerton in “Madam Butterfly,” the Lyric Opera of Kansas City’s productions of “La Boheme,” Die Zauberflote as the “First Armored Man,” and as a priest in “Aida.”

Other appearances include Tony Esposito in UMKC’s “The Most Happy Fella,” Lt. B.F. Pinkerton in “Madam Butterfly,” Sam Polk in “Susannah” at Opera in the Ozarks, as Stromboli in the world premiere of Stephen Schwartz’s new musical “Gepetto and Son” with the Coterie Theater. Gulley was an apprentice with the Hawaii Performing Arts Festival, singing as Jason in “A Grand Night for Singing” and as Ludwig in the World premiere of the opera “Nocciolina.” He is also the current tenor apprentice with the Lyric Opera of Kansas City. Gulley was recently seen on the PBS televised event “Celebration at the Station” with the Kansas City Symphony under the baton of Michael Stern.

Future Engagements include singing Borsa in LOKC’s production of “Rigoletto,” chorus in “Don Giovanni,” joint recitals with up-and-coming bass Scott Conner, tenor Kevin Westring and others. He is currently a student of Professor Dale Morehouse. A CD project with SONY Classic internationally recognized pianist Jura Margulis is in the works and is slated to be available soon.

Gulley joined The American Tenors in 2010.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You’re correct to want to help someone who seems to need assistance. But be careful that he or she isn’t pulling the wool over those gorgeous Sheep’s eyes. You need more facts.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your Bovine optimism will soon dispel the gloom cast by those naysayers and pessimists who still hover close by. Also, that good news you recently received is part of a fuller message to come.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Feeling jealous over a colleague’s success drains the energy you need to meet your own challenges. Wish him or her well, and focus on what you need to do. Results start to show in midMarch.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You’re likely to feel somewhat Crabby these days, so watch what you say, or you could find yourself making lots of apologies.

Your mood starts to brighten by the weekend.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Your pride might still be hurting from those unflattering remarks someone made about you. But cheer up, you’re about to prove once again why you’re the Top Cat in whatever you do.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) A misunderstanding with a co-worker could become a real problem unless it’s resolved soon. Allow a third party to come in and assess the situation without pressure or prejudice.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Call a family meeting to discuss the care of a loved one at this difficult time. Be careful not to let yourself be pushed into shouldering the full burden on your own.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) An upcoming decision could open the way to an exciting venture. However, there are some risks you should know about. Ask more questions before making a commitment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Personal matters need your attention during the earlier part of the week. You can start to shift your focus to your workaday world by midweek. Friday brings news.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You’ve been going at a hectic pace for quite a while. It’s time now for some much-needed rest and recreation to recharge those hardworking batteries.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a good time to upgrade your current skills or consider getting into an entirely different training program so that you can be prepared for new career opportunities.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Keep a low profile in order to avoid being lured away from the job at hand. Focus on what has to be done, and do it. There’ll be time later to enjoy fun with family and friends.
