TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS
NORTH TO ALASKA THIS SUMMER Alaska is often the goal of many travelers, especially those who are considering a cruise vacation. The scenery is hard to beat and one of the best and easiest ways to enjoy the majesty of the sea, mountains, glaciers and wildlife is by cruise ship. Most of the ships schedule their Alaska cruises beginning in May and operate through the end of September. They sail from either Seattle or Vancouver, Canada and many offer seven-day itineraries northward into the so-called “Inside Passage” through mostly sheltered waters in the panhandle portion of the state. Some of the ports of call your ship may stop KEN BROOKS in include Juneau, along with Ketchikan, Sitka, Wrangell and an ice-carved fjord. Most also cruise through Glacier Bay where you can witness several glaciers break into the ocean as you cruise by. Daylight lasts longer during the summer months so you can still have good light for photos as late as 10 p.m. A few of the cruise lines also offer longer cruises, with additional stops further north at Whittier, and/or Anchorage that include train trips through Denali National Park with one- and two-night stays. These will be escorted by tour managers who see that all your needs are attended to. Here, you get wonderful land views of the majestic mountains and valleys. The wildlife is everywhere, so keep your cameras close at hand. There are a few itineraries that cruise one way north or south Alaska and you fly the other way. So much is being offered by the cruise lines these days you have only to go online or consult a travel agent and their brochures to find the itinerary that best suits your desires. Each year there are new cruise choices. This year Princess Cruises is celebrating its 50th year in business. Its megaship, Ruby Princess, makes its Alaska debut, joining the Crown Princess on seven-day voyages round trip from Seattle. The 680-passenger Pacific Princess sails the line’s signature “Voyage of The Glaciers” seven-day itinerary for an intimate cruise experience to complement the route’s dramatic scenery. It joins the Grand Princess, Star Princess and Coral Princess on this popular route, which travels the Gulf of Alaska one-way between Whittier and Vancouver and includes two glacier experiences. The Golden Princess takes over the 10-day Inside Passage round trip sailings from San Francisco. This itinerary gives you a little more at-sea time to relax and enjoy the cruise experience. You would also be sailing under the Golden Gate Bridge twice. Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines marks its 26th year in Alaska with two ships, the sisters Radiance of the Seas and Jewel of the Seas making seven-day sailings of the Inside Passage round trip from Seattle calling at Juneau, Skagway, and Victoria, British Columbia. Celebrity Cruises returns to Alaska with
Metro Creative Services
51 cruises on seven-day itineraries on the Celebrity Infinity and Celebrity Century. There are a couple sailings out of San Francisco as well. The Celebrity Millennium will do seven-day cruises one-way between Seward and Vancouver with flights covering the opposite direction. Norwegian Cruise Line continues sailing seven-day cruises of the Inside Passage or Gulf of Alaska with their Norwegian Jewel, Norwegian Pearl and Norwegian Sun departing from Vancouver. If you are taking the children or grandchildren, you might consider Carnival Cruise Line with their Carnival Legend, which was recently remodeled with new innovations for additional comfort. The other cruise lines we have mentioned also do a wonderful job with the young folks keeping them busy while you enjoy the scenery. Oceania Cruises offers its 684-passenger Regatta for seven- and 12-day Alaska cruises. This is one of the more premium lines you might consider as you ponder which cruise to book. What’s the weather like during the summer? It can be anything from days in the low 70s down into the 50s. This is the “chancy” portion of your Alaska voyage. I have experienced great weather in early May and seen it cold and rainy in August. You just never know. You simply have to take your chances. Fares are usually less expensive early in the season with the highest prices charged in August and early September.
As I recommend with all cruising, if the budget permits, book a cabin with a balcony, especially in Alaska. I have found that the good places to stand at the rail or sit in lounges are usually crowded as passengers view the wonderful scenery. However, if you have your own private outside space on a balcony this is never a problem. Remember, your cruise fare includes your transportation in a grand ship, all meals taken in the included dining rooms along with expert room service by your room-steward who will clean your room twice each day and turn down your bed at night and make sure you have the required towels you desire. And, if you do not wish to take meals in the dining rooms or buffet, you may order from a nice menu to be served in your cabin at no extra charge with most cruise lines. We recently cruised on the Emerald Princess and were surprised at what a nice menu was available from room service. We took several breakfasts and lunches on our balcony. What a pleasure! I don’t have enough words to properly praise Princess Cruises for their excellent service and desire to please at every point of need. What to wear on an Alaskan cruise? I suggest country club casual during the day and most evenings, plus something suitable for formal nights. The shore tours will vary according to the port-of-call you are at. There are almost always several available and vary according to your interests and ability to navigate the walks and paths. A few will mostly
involve sitting in a coach driving through the beautiful scenery. Most of today’s ships also offer alternative dining. This translates to extra charges for the meal. I personally find that the menus in the included dining rooms suit me just fine. Each meal offers a fine selection of starters, soups and salads and main dishes. The desserts are to write home about! We dine in the “extra fare” dining rooms if they are included in our fare as a booking bonus. These extra charges are usually in the $25 to $75 per person range and not worth it to me. They may be for you, however. I can get a steak any night for dinner in the main dining room if I choose. Some lines will offer extra fare dining in Asian, seafood and Italian restaurants. Some of the lesser fare cruise lines might charge extra for a “Johnny Rockets” type lunch. I personally resent this. It should be included in the standard fare in my book. Be careful with some of these lesser cruise fare lines such as Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise Lines. They are making giant profits today with extra-fare items you might select during your cruise. Examples: coffee, dessert stands, snacks on deck and around the pools and rather expensive fees for bar drinks. Usually, the more you pay for your basic fare, the more items are included. We have taken six or seven Alaskan cruises over the years and find new thrills with each. And, after this itinerary, you just might fall in love with the cruise experience itself and try more.

50 SHADES OF GREY
‘50 Shades’ film makes big profit BY ANDY MCKINNEY REVIEWER
Some 100,000,000 copies of the “50 Shades” books have been sold, nearly all to women. This builds a huge potential audience for the “50 Shades of Grey” movie. Head counters tell us that the movie audience has a two-to-one women over men bias. Given that the author of the books E.L. James and the film’s director Sam Taylor-Johnson (Samantha) are both women and that the subject matter is the rigorous domination of a woman by a man, we have a phenomenon that has equal elements of wide popularity and a troubling roll back of the movement for full equality of women all presented by women. We can’t help but wonder if the popularity of the books and film would reach such heights if the subject had been presented by men. Taylor-Johnson has a slender resumé as a director with only short films to her credit. The two leading players, Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey (not Robert or William, nudge nudge) and Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele do not come readily to mind as major stars. Johnson we best know for her parents, actors Don Johnson and
Melanie Griffith. The two leads do have a remarkable chemistry. When the two first meet we have a sense of a helpless little rabbit meeting a hypnotizing python. Anastasia is about to graduate in a master’s program while Grey, not yet 30, has amassed billions in some undisclosed high-tech way. It is not a fair match, she the prey, he the predatory psychopath. She remains a virgin while he has a long and complex sexual history. “50 Shades of Grey” has the strongest possible “R” rating for prolonged nudity, sexual deviance and ultimately for man on woman violence. Do not think of this as a romantic comedy, never mind that it came out on Valentine’s Day weekend. Anastasia asks the central question of Grey “Why do you want to hurt me?” But by then we don’t care any more. This film will be critic proof. Made on a budget of $40 million it has a worldwide three-day gross of $240 million. E.L. James is among the producers and should add substantially to her already enormous $80 million net worth. Effective as soft-core porn, I thought the ending was a cheat and can give it only two-and-a-half saw blades. Two hours and 5 minutes.

RIM HISTORY RIM HISTORY RIM COUNTRY HISTORY | TIM EHRHARDT
WEATHER – HISTORICAL PATTERNS Every year I find myself making similar refrains when it comes to the weather — “We always get a storm around such and such time.� Every year I wonder just how wrong I am. Hence I decided to take a closer look at weather history. Thankfully the National Climatic Data Center has some terrific data available. I was able to get a file of data from the various weather stations in the area, with the daily observations that were made. TIM EHRHARDT Here is a sampling of the data and findings. Are there some days that are noticeably more likely to receive precipitation than others, according to the data? The obvious answer is yes, and that is true. But just how noticeable is it? Let’s look at February. From 1949 to 2014 there was an average of 12.61 days that had measurable precipitation. There is not one clear-cut day that was more likely to have moisture than others, though there are some groupings. However, there are some that are clearly much less likely to be wet. The day that
was most frequently dry: February 3. Only five times over the course of the 65 years of records has precipitation been recorded on Feb. 3. In fact, the first week of February is on the low side. Feb. 1 through Feb. 6 are all below average days and four of the days are in single digit occurrences; Feb. 2, 3, 5 and 6. Put it another way, at most on those days you’re going to have a less than 12 percent chance of precipitation on any given day occurring based on historical
records. The highest amount of times a day has received precipitation in February is 18 on Feb. 10 (28 percent of the time), followed closely by Feb. 11 at 17 (26 percent of the time). There is a bit of a pattern around that time of February too. See the number of occurrences on a table at left. There’s definitely a pattern that emerges and it shows that around the middle of the month, there’s a good chance of some moisture. What months are wetter/dryer than others? This is probably not a surprise, but our wettest month is August, our driest is June. The August average according to this data is 7.97 inches of rain per year, while June is just .92 inches. July is also pretty wet with an average of 7.1 inches, while May is pretty dry with just 1.32 inches of rain on average. What is the wettest and driest day of the year? Aug. 22 is the wettest. The average precipitation on that day is .62 inches. June 15 is the driest. According to this data, precipitation was only recorded once on that day, a grand total of .0007 inches. June 16 isn’t much better — just .0015 inches and June 12 only shows .0098 inches recorded, all with just one recorded measure.
Is there another view of wettest days? Yes. You could say that this is the “when it rains it really pours� measure. The previous average brings in all days of each month, not just ones where precipitation was recorded. Oct. 19 becomes the wettest by this measure. Only eight times in 65 years has precipitation been recorded on that day. But it averages out to a whopping 2.17 inches. However, most of that came in 1972 when Payson received 9.88 inches of rain when a huge storm slammed the state. That was a big month of storms for Arizona. First, Tropical Storm Joanne hit the state on Oct. 6, bringing with it a great deal of moisture. The second storm hit around Oct. 17 and caused flooding around the state. The National Climatic Data Center has a rich of array data available online for free at http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/. There are a number of weather stations for which there is data available, some of which are no longer in use. The data and the data quality varies greatly. The data in this article is from the Payson, Ariz., U.S. weather station currently located at Green Valley Park and is from 1948 to 2014. I ran it through a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and used a pivot table to help organize the data.

TOPIC Annual Women’s Wellness Forum offers tips to deal with stress
Stress is a fact of life. How an individual handles it is a major factor in their health and well-being. To help Rim Country women, the 17th Annual Women’s Wellness Forum focuses on stress and improving skills to cope. The event is Saturday, March 21 at the Mazatzal Hotel & Casino’s event center. It features Dr. Cynthia Booth, Dee McCaffrey, Casandra Stouder and keynote speaker Diana Jordan. Booth is an obstetrician and gynecologist practicing in Payson since 2002. She also has a bachelor’s degree in psychology. She will discuss hormones and stress. Booth is a regular contributor to the educational programs offered through the Women’s Wellness Forum. Her program opens the day’s sessions following welcoming remarks. Her presentation is scheduled from 8:45 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. McCaffrey, an organic analytical chemist, will discuss stress and nutrition. She has also been a Women’s Wellness Forum speaker in the past, presenting a program on eating to improve health. An author of a series of books and cookbooks on losing weight, McCaffrey successfully lost 100 pounds in a year and has kept it off in the intervening years. Her program is from 9:30 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. Stouder will talk about stress and movement. She is an advocate for health and wellness and works as the coordinator of the diabetes program for the Tonto Apache Tribe and is a trainer at the tribal recreation center. Her program is from 11:15 a.m. to noon. The keynote address, “Laughter is the Best Medicine,” by comedienne and author Diana Jordan, is from noon to 1 p.m. Having entertained more than a million people over 25 years, Jordan came to realize that by making people laugh, she helped them deal with life’s stress, motivated them and taught them what she has learned. Jordan is also a cancer survivor and speaks of her journey to many cancer organizations and events nationwide. An author, her book, “A Wife’s Little Instruction Book – Your Survival Guide to Marriage Without Bloodshed” CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Change is still dominant for Rams and Ewes, both in the workplace and their private lives. This is also a good time to look at a possible relocation if that has been one of your goals. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Doing things for others is what you do well. But don’t forget that Bovines thrive on the arts, so make some time for yourself to indulge your passion for music and artistic expressions. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) While the Romantic Twin considers where to go for his or her upcoming vacation, the Practical Twin will start making travel plans now to take advantage of some great bargains. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your sensitive nature helps you deal with a difficult emotional situation. Be patient and continue to show your sincere support wherever (and for whomever) it is needed. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You’re making progress as you move through some unfamiliar territory. And while there might be a misstep or two along the way, overall you’re heading in the right direction. Good luck. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Some good news arrives -- and just in time to remind you that you’re making progress. Perhaps things aren’t moving as quickly as you’d prefer, but they’re moving nevertheless. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a good week to step back and assess the facts that have recently emerged to see where they can be used to your advantage. Also, don’t hesitate to make changes where necessary. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You should begin to experience some support from those who now agree with your point of view. This should help counter the remaining objections from die-hard skeptics. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Don’t let your aim be deflected by trivial matters as you try to resolve a confusing situation. Take time to find and thoroughly assess the facts before making any decision. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) The possibility of moving to another location has come up. But before you dismiss it as unworkable, it’s worth checking out just in case it does have some merit after all. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) New relationships -- personal or work-related — show mixed signals. Best to assume nothing. Let things play themselves out until you have something substantive to work with. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Your ability to make needed changes without causing too much, if any, negative ripple effect comes in handy when dealing with a sensitive matter either on the job or in the family. BORN THIS WEEK: Although you like things to go smoothly, you’re not shy about making waves when you believe the situation calls for it. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

Chicken noodle soup is sick-day treat for me.
Favorite soups BY TERESA MCQUERREY RIM REVIEW EDITOR
Well, in spite of my best efforts — an especially “painful” flu shot AND a pneumonia vaccination — the flu caught me this month — Friday the 13th wouldn’t you know. More than once over the course of the five days I was really suffering — when I had some semblance of consciousness — I really wished I had one of my favorite soups. I really love the semi-homemade chicken noodle soup you can make with Reames Homestyle Egg Noodles and a cream of cauliflower soup recipe I came across almost 20 years ago in one of my Southern Living magazines. Reames attributes the recipe for its chicken noodle soup to Marzetti Kitchens, which makes the noodles.
CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP
1, 24-ounce package Reames Homestyle Egg Noodles 12 cups chicken broth 2 bay leaves 2 teaspoons dried parsley 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 1 teaspoon black pepper 2 cups chopped celery 2 cups chopped onions 2 cups carrot coins 2 cups half and half or heavy cream 8 tablespoons butter 1/2 cup flour 1 pound cooked, shredded or cubed chicken Boil the broth with the bay leaves, then add the noodles and simmer 20 minutes, stirring often. Add parsley, thyme, pepper, onions, celery and carrots. Simmer 10 minutes or until tender. Melt butter in skillet, add flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add cream to noodle mixture and bring to simmer. Add flour mixture, cook for about 2 minutes to thicken, stirring constantly. Remove bay leaves and add chicken, stir and allow to heat through.
CREAM OF CAULIFLOWER SOUP
FROM SOUTHERN LIVING NOVEMBER 1996 1 large onion 2 shallots (I use green onions) 1 garlic clove (I use the pre-chopped kind in a jar) 1 tablespoon olive oil (I used regular vegetable oil — it’s what I had) 2, 14-1/2-ounce cans chicken broth 1 large cauliflower, cut into flowerets 1-1/2 cups whipping cream (I used half and half) 1 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper (I used regular pepper) Slice first three ingredients; sauté in oil in a Dutch oven until tender. Stir in broth; bring to a boil. Add cauliflower; cook, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes or until tender. Process soup in batches in a blender until smooth; return to pan — usually the cauliflower is tender enough to break apart with running through the blender. Stir in cream, salt and white pepper; cook over low heat, stirring often, until thoroughly heated.
Sounds good? I settled on another favorite — canned Cream of Mushroom Soup.
