This week's review
Welcome to the first Rim Review of July. With the Fourth just a few days away, the feature this week is about all the festivities planned around the Rim for our country’s birthday. You can stay in Payson for the holiday weekend and enjoy fun on Main Street and Green Valley Park, at Taylor Pool and elsewhere around the community. You can take a trip up to Pine and participate in parties at the Community Center and Fire Department. Or head out east to Christopher Creek for the fun being planned there. There is also a feature from one of our history columnists, Tim Ehrhardt, on the celebrations held by the earlier residents of the Rim Country. The primary history column is by Stan Brown, and is about a cornerstone in generations of young lives in Payson for several decades, teacher Julia Randall, for whom the community’s oldest — and now newest — school is named. Columnists Ken Brooks, Carol Watts and Simone Lake also have offerings in the first Review of the second half of the year. Brooks talks about his adventures in China when it was first opened to the West by Nixon and Kissinger. Watts shares the latest greatest in ships going into service for the cruise industry. Lake’s Firm Foundations column explores the topic of “echoes” in the Bible. In keeping with our Fourth of July theme, the food feature in this week’s Review has several recipes to give your holiday picnic a different flare. Lucy Schouten, our teen movie reviewer, shares her thoughts on “Angels and Demons” and “The Proposal.” Thanks for reading. Teresa McQuerrey, Review editorMore Rim Review
