THE

DARK KNIGHT RISES


One industry insider of my acquain-tance prognosticated that it is just toosoon to begin another Spidermanseries. He may well be right artistical-ly, but the crowds at the multiplex out-lets across the country (and the worldfor that matter) are willing to pay topdollar for Spiderman, and right nowthank you.

Around the world and across thefruited plain, Spiderman fans plunkeddown a head-spinning $342 million tosee the new incarnation. Even after spending$230 million on the making of the film, Stan Leeand the other producers stand to bank a fabu-lous sum. The PG-13, two hour 16 minute filmwas released to the public in 4,318 theaters inthe U.S. alone.

This film, while repetitious and without anyredeeming innovation that I noticed, works inseveral ways. Nearly every movie that I person-ally enjoy has a romantic side to it. At first Ithought that The Amazing Emma Stone mightbe too old to play a high school girl. The awk-ward, tentative romantic beginnings betweenher and Andrew Garfield have her being notice-ably more mature than her callow paramour.Bad casting I thought until I realized that girlsare always well ahead of boys at that age. Thenthe casting became brilliant. Like in real life, ifshe wants you, you can kiss your heart goodbyebecause she is way ahead of you. It works as aromance.

It also has elements of classic horror films,like when Gwen (M.J. is given a new name, eventhough Peter Parker, Uncle Ben an Aunt Marykeep their names. Who knows why, maybe somefocus group thing?) is trapped while the monsterstalks her. Of course, for Peter Parker — wellplayed by the excellent Andrew Garfield — it isa coming of age film. He must go from typicallytroubled teen to grown up all at once. Garfieldrecently played Facebook co-founder EdwardoSeverin in “The Social Network.” Severin is now

even more famous for fleeing U.S.taxes to muggy Singapore.

Martin Sheen and Sally Field takethe roles of Uncle Ben and Aunt Mary,Peter Parker’s foster parents. Sheen isconvincingly wise and protective, Fieldworn and haggard, both nicely played.Denis Leary is solid as Gwen’s police-man father.

A casting oddity has two playersfrom the TV hit show “Royal Pains” inunrelated roles. Producer, actor, writer

and director Campbell Scott has a brief appear-ance as Peter’s dad before his mysterious death.TV veteran Jill Flint has a tiny spot as a recep-tionist. I haven’t found out what is behind thiscoincidence.

Director Marc Webb (the wonderful indie film“500 Days of Summer”) puts in a few cool, unex-pected and unnecessary elements. Thanks,Marc.

But all is not well. The writing counts as wellas the good acting. It isn’t right to introducecharacters and concepts and just let them slow-ly dissolve into nothingness. Irrfan Khan (fromIndia) plays a mysterious, sinister, henchmanfor a moneyed person, unknown. The moneyedperson pushes on the mad scientist for moreand faster results in order to save the life of hispatron. But when the mad science gets rolling,the plot doesn’t need him anymore, so he disap-pears. And from time to time, for no disclosedreason, cold blooded lizards pop up in goodnumbers in the much too chilly sewers of NewYork.

These and other avoidable flaws restrict thisgenuine blockbuster to a slightly above averagethree and a half saw blades. Strict maybe, butwho cares? This is Spiderman, he is back andthe public is eating him up. In my viewer role, Iliked it more than the award of three and a halfsaw blades might suggest. Emma Stone canmake a whole scene work with just the upturn ofher lips.

HOLLYWOOD — Tom Cruise, who must havebeen shocked by the failure of “Rock of Ages”(though he got good notices) and his recent mar-riage break-up, was stuck on location in Iceland,working on his latest film, “Oblivion,” and could-n’t go to New York to confront Katie Holmes. Thefilm, budgeted at $130 million and co-starringMorgan Freeman, is more along the lines of his“Mission: Impossible” franchise. It’s about a vet-eran soldier sent to a far-off planet to destroythe remains of an alien race. It’s set for an April2013 release. Meanwhile, no one will confirm ifCruise will play opposite Beyonce in “A Star IsBorn.” Did “Rock of Ages” help, or hurt, hischances for that role?

Brad Pitt is before the cameras shooting“Twelve Years as a Slave” with MichaelFassbender, Benedict Cumberbatch, PaulGiamatti and Alfre Woodard. The film, shootingin Louisiana, is about a free black man living inNew York who is kidnapped in 1841 and sold intoslavery in the Deep South. Pitt also is one of theproducers of the film being directed by Steve

McQueen. Then Pitt will star opposite MichaelFassbender (again) and Oscar-winner JavierBardem in “The Counselor” for Ridley Scott,who gave him his breakthrough role in l991’s“Thelma and Louise.”

People keep asking me what Jack Nicholsonand Adam Sandler were doing together at arecent Lakers game. They don’t make the samekind of movies ... or do they? Actually, Jack hasa small role in Sandler’s animated 3D film“Hotel Transylvania,” due out Sept. 28. Sandlerplays Dracula, and Nicholson joins SelenaGomez (Justin Bieber’s girlfriend), AndySamberg, Kevin James, Fran Drescher, JonLovitz, Cee Lo Green, Steve Buscemi, MollyShannon and David Spade. Dracula, who owns afive-star resort catering to the world’s mostfamous monsters, invites his monster friends tocelebrate his daughter Mavis’ (Gomez) 118thbirthday party.

JILL JACKSON’S HOLLYWOOD | TONY RIZZO

Will Cruise star opposite Beyonce?

The history of Palm Springs is var-ied. More than 2,000 years ago, PalmSprings’ first residents were the ances-tors of today’s Cahuilla bands. TheAgua Caliente existed as peacefulhunters and gatherers, living off theland. Much of the tribal life centered onthe lush vegetation and abun-dant water in the area knownas Indian Canyon, site ofNorth America’s largest natu-ral fan palm oasis.

The area was firstexplored by non-Indians in1774. An expedition traveledthrough the area in 1853when a government surveyparty mapped Palm Springsand its natural hot springsmineral pool which is todaythe sight of the Spa Resort Casino.

In 1877 as an incentive to complete arailroad to the Pacific, the U.S. govern-ment gave the Southern PacificRailroad title to the odd-numberedparcels of land for 10 miles on eitherside of the tracks running through theSouthern California desert aroundPalm Springs.

Time and history continued throughthe many years with the Palm SpringsHotel being built in 1886 by a Dr.Welwood Murray. The area continuedto attract visitors and in 1938 theVillage of Palm Springs welcomed someof the Hollywood set by the names ofFrank Sinatra, Marlene Dietrich, BobHope, Loretta Young and many more.Today, you’ll find Leonardo DeCaprio,Dakota Fanning and Halley Berry toname a few who own homes and live inPalm Springs part-time. EuropeanRoyalty and business tycoons all cometo enjoy the endless sunshine andserenity of the desert which is only twoand a half hours from Los Angeles.

As of the 2000 census there aresome 42,807 people living in the city.Down the valley are several otherresort towns which are popular withthe tourists as well.

Palm Springs and area features anumber of sporting events includingthe BNP Paribas Open, one of the most

significant tennis events of the world,after the four Grand Slam tourna-ments. And, the city has also hosted theEaster Bowl, the national junior tennischampionships.

The number of golf courses in thePalm Springs area is 125, and the

Coachella Valley is among thetop 10 golf resort destinationsin the world.

In nearby Cathedral City isthe Desert Ice Palace ice skat-ing rink which opened lastyear. And, there are hundredsof swimming pools for every-one’s pleasure.

You can drive, take thetrain or fly into Palm Springsyear-round. From Phoenix itis an easy five-hour drive. You

can travel at 75 mph most of the way.You will find lodging in almost any

price range. There are many oldersmall hotels and motels which offer fairrates most months of the year. Summeris the low season, of course, but theweekends find Palm Springs quite busywith the Los Angeles crowd present.Many of the older, smaller propertieshave been extensively refurbished inthe last 10 years and you will find themquite pleasant. Palm Springs is notedfor its extra luxury properties and youmay wish to stay in one of these.

There are various activities sched-uled almost every weekend of the yearhere. Street markets, craft shows, filmfestivals, you name it.

The fabulous Palm Springs Follies isa stage-show at the historic PlazaTheatre downtown which features per-formers that are over the age of 55.Most are former singers and dancersfrom the 1950s upward. Often top starsof the ’50s also perform with the troop.It operates from October through April.

Every Thursday evening downtownPalm Springs hosts “Villagefest,” adiverse display of arts and crafts, a cer-tified farmer’s market, food and liveentertainment on Palm Canyon Drive.

You can bring the kids because thereis so much for them to do here. You canchoose from balloon flights, biking,

bowling, golf, hiking, horseback riding,rent a motorcycle, museums, as well asparks and recreation. You could beginat Knott’s Soak City water park;explore a collection of vintage WorldWar II aircraft at the Palm Springs AirMuseum, then experience the LivingDesert, a 1,200-acre wildlife and botan-ical park.

There is often live theatre availableat several theatres in the area.Especially noted are the Annenbergand Palm Canyon Theatres. Nice movietheatres are located throughout theValley. Dinner theater is also open.

In the winteryou begin with the temperatures in the70s and arrive at the summit with snowon the ground and perhaps 30 degrees.The views are spectacular!

CHAPTER 22: ANCIENT BONES

For some weeks we have been investigating theviolence that plagued the Rim Country during theclosing years of the 19th and early years of the 20thcenturies. In this concluding chapter we take a flightof imagination back over the centuries to seekanswers for several discoveries ofancient bones in the Payson area.

The Rim Country is an archae-ologist’s paradise. This is a landthat abounded with human lifefrom at least 1,000 BC to 1,250 AD.Burials have been found in themost unlikely places, in additionto identified prehistoric campssuch as the Risser, Shoofly, andGoat Camp ruins.

The bones of two Americanhunter-gatherers surfaced during the renovation ofGreen Valley Park, according to Public WorksDirector Buzz Walker. This incident was passed overwith little fanfare for fear the public would begin dig-ging for more bones. Then in February of 1996 theremains of a pre-historic man and his pottery wereunearthed on Main Street across from the Lone PineHotel. The utility crew digging a conduit trench hadmade the eerie find. In accordance with ArizonaState Law, the State Museum sent an anthropologistto inspect the bones and permission was given torebury the remains where they were found. The utili-ty project continued, but if any additional humanremains had been found everything would have beenhalted while a survey of the entire area was conduct-ed to determine its importance. Fortunately for busi-ness on Main Street that did not happen. The burialwas apparently an isolated one.

One day as I stood staring at the embankment onHillcrest Drive, my eye caught a red object protrudingfrom the soil. This area had been the trash dump forthe Risser Ruin community. Trash dumps were oftenused as burial sites because of the ease of diggingthere. When the developer put in the street, a bulldoz-er simply plowed through, destroying an undeter-mined number of burials. I picked the red object outof the bank to find it was a small fetish, a beautifullycarved coyote or fox from an argillite stone. Therewas a hole in the animal’s back where a thong hadrun through to create a necklace that was around theneck of one whose body had been buried there. Iwould like to have kept it and given it to my wife, butdutifully placed it in the Rim Country Museum’s dis-play of ancient people.

However, drought and overpopulation ended anera. Charles Redman, in his book “People Of theTonto Rim,” states, “Our own excavations andarchaeological surveys, as well as those by others,indicate that by 1,300 AD, and probably a bit earlier,the Payson region had been depopulated.”[1]

There was a 200- to 300-year hiatus before thenext wave of population moved into the area, theApache and Yavapai people. They often pitched theirseasonal camps on the ruins of their predecessorsbecause these locations were near water and provid-ed an abundance of tools for arrowheads and spears,matates to grind corn and seeds, as well as a sense ofspiritual power from the ancients.

Then there was the day of excitement when aplumber came upon a skeleton in a crawlspace at theold Julia Randall Elementary School. This was anunlikely grave, so theories were conjured about amurder or some other foul play. However, pieces ofthe mystery fell into place when Duane Kaufman

came forward to tell about a boyhood prank he andtwo of his buddies carried out in the early 1960s. TheKaufmans had moved in next door to the late AnnaMae Deming, and one day, as Duane cut through herbackyard, he spotted bones protruding from theground. He and his friends clandestinely dug up one-third of a human skeleton, and they concocted a mar-velous plan. They knew of a dungeon-like basementunder the original part of their school, and a crawlspace that led to it. They would place the bones there,and then lead younger pupils to this secret place and“scare the willies” out of them. Their plans werestopped as soon as it was detected by the teachers,but the bones remained undisturbed until theplumber discovered then in 2003.

The partial skeleton was sent out to be analyzed,and the report was that these were prehistoric bonesfrom one of the legendary “bun-heads” who lived inthe Payson area. That nickname results from a fasci-nating story about the Rim Country’s earliest burials.

These people were here long before other ancientgroups moved in. There were the Sinagua to thenorthwest, the Anazazi to the northeast, the Mogollonto the southeast and the Hohokam to the southwest.Payson became a center for trading and racial mix-ing. But the people “native” to the Payson area werenot genetically related to any of these. Rather theywere related to an archaic people who lived in theSouthwest from 4,000 to 1,500 BC, and were identi-fied by a protrusion on the back of the head called an“occipital bun.” This extension of the skull ranged insize from a baseball to a softball and was locatedabout where a hair bun would be — thus the monikerbun-head. The additional room in the skull was forthe visual portion of the brain, probably indicating ahighly developed ability to spot game during a hunt.Another intriguing aspect of this is that the occipitalbun has been found in European Neanderthals andAustralian Aborigines.

The Tonto Apaches were among the “late comers,”living in the Payson area from the 1500s AD. Theyhad a number of burial sites around the area. Thelate Chief Melton Campbell told me that when his peo-

ple lived on Indian Hill indi-viduals were buried east ofMcLane where it tops thehill, overlooking today’shigh school. The last burialthere was in the 1940s.

Another of the pre-reservation Apache burialsites in Payson was on thesouth slope of Burch Mesa. In this area south of theairport a band of Apaches camped at ButterflySprings; the Apache name for the area translates to“A Spring of Water in the Oak Grove.” One day Iaccompanied there a party of forest rangers, theirarchaeologist, and tribal elder Vince Randall, alongwith several others from the local tribe. With develop-ers breathing down the neck of the Forest Service, asurvey was being conducted to determine evidence ofApache occupation. There was plenty: shards, grind-ing tools, old junipers whose limbs had been cut tofuel nearby roasting pits. The tribal leaders alsopointed out the rock outcropping along north VistaRoad where burials had occurred. A favorite place toconsign their dead was a crevice or an overhang inthe rock. Then the body was sealed in with rocks.

I recalled an oral history with Pearl HilligasMorrison from 1970. She said, “We found a skeletonin a rock over there on Burch Mesa. We kids used tolove to play up there, and we found a skeleton with allits beads… but we wouldn’t touch anything.” Theyoung girl Julia Randall was among Pearl’s play-mates who discovered the bones.

Today we walk gently on this land that has beenhallowed by so many before us. To come in contactwith the artifacts they left behind makes us feel kin-dred to those people who, like us, thrilled to thestorms, the sunsets, the wind in the trees, the smell ofpine, and the wild animals.

THE ARTISTS

Daniel Rodriguez and Maria Kavanaugh2:30 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 30

America’s Beloved Tenor Daniel Rodriguez wasthe New York City cop who helped bring the countryan uplifting spirit of promise and hope with his stir-ring rendition of “God Bless America” after theSeptember 11th terrorist attacks. Daniel hasappeared on television’s The Late Show with DavidLetterman, Larry King Live, Live with Regis and Kellyand Oprah, among many other high profile events.

Accompanied by piano and bass, Daniel will bejoined by his talented wife, soprano Marla

Kavanaugh, who won praise from San Francisco crit-ics as “the voice of a sorrowing angel” for herpoignant portrayal in The Prince and the Pauper.Their musical program will tell a beautiful story ofhow they met and include songs from the U.S. andMarla’s native country, New Zealand.

To those who have come to know him as the“singing policeman,” it is no surprise that DanielRodriguez is known as America’s Beloved Tenor.

At 16, he presented his first recital at CarnegieHall; at 17, he was billed as the “17-year-oldBaritone.” Then, at age 19, he put music aside to raisehis family, going to work to make ends meet. Heworked at the post office, and then as a police officerin the New York City Police Department. It was in uni-form that local New York audiences began to discoverhis voice and his passion for the music he sang.Before the events of 9-11, he was already quite wellknown around New York City as he had sung in“Broadway on Broadway,” in local opera and musicaltheater productions. As an “official singer” for theNYPD Ceremonial Unit, he sang at many functions,and later, at memorials in the aftermath of theSeptember 11th attacks.

The Abrams Brothers7 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 17

Music is in their blood. You can feel it in yourbones.

This Canadian trio of teenagers (fourth-generationmusicians) is not shy about sharing their country-fla-vored style with the world. The Abrams Brothersmerge the sounds of Bob Dylan and Arlo Guthrie withtheir own homespun panache to create never-before-heard music.

Barely adults, Elijah, John and James are artists inevery sense of the word and already have the creden-tials of veterans. Having performed at the Grand OleOpry, toured Europe in 2006, performed at Jacob’sLadder Musical Festival in Israel and received theDaniel Pearl Memorial violin in 2006, their bluegrass,gospel vibes are sending waves of recognition to thelegend Arlo Guthrie himself. “I know I will be hearingfrom The Abrams Brothers for a long time to come,”he said.

Violin, guitar, intricate finger-work and vocals arejust some of the factors that come together to makeThe Abrams Brothers modern-day virtuosos. John,18, James, 15, and cousin Elijah, 18, are fourth-gener-ation musicians and have musical roots reachingback to their great-grandparents. John and James,who started playing at the ages of 9 and 6, respective-ly, and Elijah demonstrate mastery over their instru-ments (John on guitar, mandolin and violin, James onviolin and viola, and Elijah on upright bass) and vocalchords, sounding like well-rounded, fully developedveteran musicians.

42Five2:30 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 4

What’s an instrumental band with no instruments?It’s not “magic” or “make believe.” It’s simply thevoices of five guys: Ryan, Earl, Geoff, Danny andLayne — known better as 42Five.

They’ve come together to create a new form ofentertainment singing songs we all love, from the ’60sto the tunes of today, including Journey’s “Don’t StopBelieving,” Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now” and ThreeDog Night’s “Joy to the World.” This award-winning acapella quintet is the entertainment for all ages, forall families and for all size audiences.

From the trumpet to the drums, you’ll hear it allfrom their voices without a glimpse of shiny brass ordrumsticks scattered on the floor. This new, innova-tive group is setting the bar high and using their tech-nique to bring to life vocal impossibilities.

Not only do they melt audiences with their flawlessharmonies, their charming sense of humor is sure tocreate a stir in the hearts of everyone.

42Five (pronounced “Four Two Five”) has beenperforming their own unique brand of entertainmentsince the turn of the century. Evolving from a streetcorner barbershop sound, and drawing on funk, rock,jazz, and blues — 42Five is unlike any musical expe-rience around, recreating an entire instrumentalband with nothing but their five voices — a feat whichhas to be seen to be believed. The group is based inOrlando, Fla.

Masters of Motown7 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 22

During the ultimatestroll down memory lane, Masters of Motown per-form hits such as “Get Ready” by the Temptations,“Dancing in the Street” by Martha and the Vandellasand “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” by MarvinGaye and Tammi Terrell.

BY PAUL G. DONOHUE, M.D.NORTH AMERICA SYND., INC.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My 12-year-old son issomething of a phenomenon when it comes tobaseball, and he loves playing the game. I haven’tpushed him into it. He’s a particularly awesomepitcher, and his coaches are amazed at what hecan do.

I practice with him every day. He now has a soreelbow in his pitching arm. I think it might be LittleLeague elbow. My wife blames me, because, shesays I overwork him. I need some guidelines onhow much throwing is too much. Thanks. — R.C.

ANSWER: The elbow is a site that’s a potentialcalamity for the immature skeleton. Children havevulnerable spots in their bones called growthplates. These bone parts haven’t yet become bone.They permit elongation of bones. One of thosesites is the elbow.

To make sure we’re talking about the samething, let the boy’s throwing arm hang down withhis palm facing forward. Feel the area of the elbownext to the body. That’s where Little League elbowmakes itself known.

It’s an overuse injury, meaning the boy is throw-ing too many pitches with too little rest. The inci-dence of elbow pain in young baseball players isquite high — 20 percent to 40 percent. It can beavoided with a sensible program that limits thenumber of throws per day.

First, your son should not throw until the painleaves. Then he can resume throwing, but gradu-ally do so. Eventually he can work up to the LittleLeague’s standards for pitching for 12-year-olds. Ifa boy or girl of this age throws 66 pitches in onegame, the child needs four days of rest — nothrowing; if it’s 51 to 65 pitches, three days of restare required; 30 to 50 pitches, two rest days; 21 to35 pitches, one rest day. In practice, he should belimited to 20 pitches if he throws daily. It he throwsmore, he should follow the schedule for the num-ber of pitches thrown in a game.

If your boy’s pain lasts a week, have the familydoctor examine him. If he really has Little Leagueelbow, healing can take six to 12 weeks.
