GAME & FISH OFFERS 10 IDEAS FOR A BETTER 2016 We’re almost a week into 2016 and some of us are still thinking about our “plan” for the new year. As we reflect on the changes we want — or need — to make in the new year, how about adding an outdoors resolution to the list?

The Arizona Game and Fish Department offers 10 simple resolutions, any one of which should be easy for an outdoors enthusiast to stick to: • Fish local. Make it a point to wet a line this year at one (or more) of 37 waters in the Community Fishing Program. With lakes and ponds in 17 Arizona communities that are seasonally stocked with channel catfish, bluegill and rainbow trout, there’s always a hotspot close to home. This is a great way to introduce a youngster to a fun, lifelong sport. Your reward? Hearing that youngster squeal with delight while pulling in his or her first fish.

• Support wildlife. Wildlife lovers can put their money where their heart is by becoming a member of the department’s “I Support Wildlife” program. Your $25 annual dues provide much-needed funding to sustain important wildlife and habitat conservation projects.

• Take a youngster outdoors. Look for animal tracks together and identify the critter that made them. Armed with only a bird identification guide, embark on a “hunting” expedition and see how many species you can find. A day in the field will create memories that last a lifetime — for both of you.

• Pick it up. Vow to clean up not only after yourself, but those who aren’t as considerate. Take an extra trash bag along on your next outing and spend a few minutes picking up those empty cans, cigarette butts or campsite trash.

After all, respected access is open access.

• Be a wildlife watcher. Arizona provides some of the best wildlife-viewing opportunities in the nation, with more than 800 species of wildlife. It’s a fun, inexpensive activity the entire family can enjoy.

• Invest in good optics. Most hunters know that success in the field begins with a quality pair of binoculars or spotting scope. Don’t skimp. Better to buy the best you can afford that fits your needs than settle for a middle-of-theroad piece of equipment and be forced CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS

INTERESTING RAIL JOURNEYS Many people today have never ridden a train. There was a time when rail travel was one of the main sources of transportation around the United States. Today, it is gaining attention as one of the more interesting forms of travel. You can sit in your seat as the train speeds through the countryside as you enjoy the scenery without the bother of minding the road and automobile.

Cross-country trains still travel from Los Angeles, the Bay area and Seattle through the tall mountains of the West and into the plains and Midwest to Chicago KEN BROOKS where one can transfer to trains from there to the East Coast and New York and Boston as an example.

There are also trains that travel from Los Angeles through the Southwest to reach the Deep South. You can also travel from Chicago to Florida and New Orleans, for example.

Some travelers go to Vancouver, B.C. and board the luxurious and famous streamliner, the Canadian, which takes you through the beautiful northwest scenery of British Columbia into the Canadian Rockies where you can de-train and tour Jasper National Park, Lake Louise and Banff before resuming your cross-Canada train travel to Toronto and Montreal.

These trains carry coach and private-room Pullman accommodations along with dining and lounge cars. Prices vary according to distance covered and accommodations.

For starters, you might board the Starlight train in Los Angeles and travel to the San Francisco/Oakland Bay area. It’s day travel over some 450 miles, some of which is right along the Pacific Coast. This will give you an example of train travel today. If you find this pleasurable, some other time you can train travel elsewhere.

Tourists are also discovering narrow-gauge trains that are set in usually beautiful scenery and cover a rather short distance. An example is the Durango to Silverton, Colo. train that climbs from Durango at 6,512 feet to Silverton at 9,305 feet above sea-level. You travel through magnificent mountain scenery with a fast moving river outside your window most of the way. You board mid-morning in Durango and arrive in Silverton around noon time where you leave the train and walk a couple blocks to discover the old mining town and choose a restaurant for lunch. During this time the train is turned around and ready to rail you back to Durango in the afternoon.

You can’t beat the scenery and the overall rail travel experience, believe me.

Durango is also a very pleasant city and worth a couple nights stay.

Another interesting rail trip is on the Amtrak Cascades where 11-1/2 hours are spent traveling from Eugene, Ore. to Vancouver, B.C. The scenery-filled route offers seascapes, mountain peaks including Mt. Rainier and Mt. Baker, distant

islands, rain forests, farm scenes and wildlife. You could also explore Portland and Seattle if you wish. The train continues to amazing Vancouver where you can spend two or three days to explore this fascinating Canadian city.

This train is the only train that features rail cars made by the Spanish company Talgo, including the art deco Bistro dining car. Try Ivar’s clam chowder!

Amtrak’s California Zephyr rails you from central California for 2,438 miles through seven states and crosses the Continental Divide via the 6.2-mile-long Moffat Tunnel, longest in the U.S. The Zephyr follows the canyons of the Colorado River into the Midwest to Chicago. A wonderful train experience.

Another very scenic experience is the Cumbres & Toltec narrow-gauge steam railroad running for 64 miles between Chama, N.M. and Atonito, Colo. The railroad, built in 1880 and named a National Historic Landmark, takes passengers over the San Juan Mountains and into the Conejos Valley. This is one of the most scenic rail rides you can find in the USA. You stop for a buffet lunch halfway where every passenger leaves the train for the noon meal before continuing on.

The Skunk Train is a passenger railway that has been transporting passengers through Mendocino County’s redwood region of Northern California since 1885.

The train travels between Fort Bragg and the quaint town of Willits, the gateway to the redwoods and Mendocino County’s award-winning wine region. The trains

chug over bridges and past open meadows, following the same coastal Redwood Route since the railway’s 19th century beginning.

This is a fun train to take with you the kids and grandkids.

The company Uncommon Journeys visits many of the national parks in the western U.S. by rail on a trip that operates the splendid Great Western Limited with their own former streamlined equipment that is perfectly maintained. They offer a private train tour between Montana and San Francisco, and takes in parks from Glacier to Yellowstone, Grand Teton and Yosemite.

Another private train company operates the Rocky Mountaineer running east out of Vancouver to Calgary taking two days.

The train is timed so that passengers get daylight views of the Fraser Valley and Fraser Canyon, which features the Hell’s Gate waterfall on the Fraser River. You overnight in a hotel in Kamloops, British Columbia. Day two highlights include the climb over the Continental Divide en route to Calgary, Alberta, home of the world-famous Calgary Stampede rodeo. The train cars have been specially built for luxury, taking in scenery and gourmet food onboard.

In Mexico, there is the Copper Canyon traveled by the Chihuahua Pacific Railway from Los Mochis to Chihuahua. One way takes 13 hours which also makes about 50 stops along the way. You can select first class, meant for tourists, as well as economy class. The trip begins near the Pacific Coast in the state of Sinaloa and travels more than 400 miles over 37 major

narrow-gauge tracks. You begin at sea-level and climb to over 8,000 feet. Once there, you can overnight at a hotel perched on the edge of a mountain overlooking the great scenery below. The Copper Canyon is the Grand Canyon of Mexico.

The Sunset Limited operates from Arizona to New Orleans. Once there, you can experience the pleasures of this city, which are many. History abounds with great dining choices. Set on the Mississippi River you can cruise up river for a day or week visiting the places known in the history books as the Old South. This would be an unforgettable vacation. You could return to Arizona by train or air.

Closer to home there is the Verde Valley Railroad which operates very interesting wildlife viewing day trips.

Also, the Grand Canyon Railway running between Williams, Ariz. to the South Rim of the Canyon daily. It takes twoand-a-half hours from Williams to the Rim where you can enjoy lunch at El Tovar Hotel and then return to Williams later in the afternoon. There is plenty of time to walk around the rim for photography. The train features streamlined cars from the 1950s, which have been beautifully refurbished to today’s standards. Four classes of service are available. The best is seating in the Vista Dome cars.

We have discussed here only a few of the rail journeys that are available today.

You might consult the Web and/or phone Amtrak at 1-800-478-4881 for ideas and printed information.

All aboard!

In the long run this film will be remembered as one that came out at the same time as “Star Wars.”

It runs for one hour and 53 minutes and carries a PG-13 rating even if it does have a steamy love scene. This all action, no story movie garners a slim two saw blades.

THE SOUND OF MUSIC

The Sawmill Theatres continues its Classic Movie series with the most popular musical movie of all time, “The Sound of Music” this weekend. In inflation adjusted terms this is the fifth highest grossing film of all time.

The visual shots of the Austrian mountains are eye filling and thrilling. Director Robert Wise did an admirable job of moviemaking here.

The star of the show is the voice of Julie Andrews. Just remember the songs she sings — “My Favorite Things,” “Do-ReMi,” “Climb Every Mountain” and “So Long, Farewell.” Wow, what a list of tunes we can still hum along

This classic musical will come to the Sawmill Theatres on a re-scheduled day of Saturday, Jan. 9. The Sawmill will screen the film on a one-time-only basis at 9:30 a.m. at a special price of only $5. This film is suitable for the whole family with a G rating.

FIRM FOUNDATIONS | SIMONE LAKE

THE JOY OF CHRIST COMING TO US DAILY AND PERSONALLY This time of year most people are thinking of creative ways to keep their New Year’s resolutions. For me ... my heart pulse is in the joy I embrace with the lessons I learned, soaking in the Scriptures of the Bible. This wonderful joy of clinging to Christ during Advent, for the whole month of December, has given me a freshness of reflection, hope and encouragement.

I know Christ HAS come. Praise to His holy Name!

I know Christ WILL come. Praise to His holy Name!

Yet in a world full of continual constant distractions from every direction imaginable, my ongoing travail is to keep my eyes fixed on Christ for He has come in my daily life circumstances.

He STAYS with me daily. In His coming He is active and concerned about my everyday life and circumstances ... In my tears as I seek Him early in the morning, in my spiritual grief as my heart aches for the rebellion of His bride. In my disappointments as others let me down, in my sins as I wrestle in prayer that I stay unspotted from the world. In my weariness as I crouch down in a metaphorical trench of spiritual warfare being plummeted by artillery. In times of sorrow and joy; in times of fastings/ prayers; in times of exhaustion due to pulling all-nighters with deep prayers, studying/preparing for Bible teachings/speaking; in times of emotional burdens of the spiritual realm; in times of spiritual disasters of others as I continue to model the servant REVIEW quality of Christ offering myself As you remember, from my 24/7 as a living drink offering sacDecember Firm Foundations artiSIMONE LAKE rifice by serving others and the cle, Advent One and Advent Two body of Christ. ... we learned that Advent by defiThese daily times are times and nition is that arrival of a notable person = Christ.

And be with Him for eternity. Praise me. By day the Lord commands his steadto His holy Name! fast love and at night his song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life.”

ten, What no eye has seen, nor ear hear, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him, these things God has reveled to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.” 2016 NEW YEAR

So here’s to another year of: PRAISE — Learning, memorizing and saturating myself with hymns and beautiful melodies lifting up my voice to the only Triune God, worthy of all praise!

REPENTANCE — Turning from sins that create splashes of tears that fall on my cheeks because of the pain I have caused my God, my family, my friends, strangers.

ASK — Hours of simple quietness and extreme aggressive thundering, wrestling on the throne in prayer on behalf of others and myself.

YIELD — Submitting in obedience to all God has for me including lack of faith by worry; and Just giving all to Him, trusting in Him completely.

FOLLOW ME

This quest and end game of mine is not far reaching for a heart that is 100 percent willing. Let me ask you — are you willing?

God is not a respecter of persons. In other words, there is not one ounce of prejudice, segregation, separation or favoritism in the heart of God. He is our creator, He loves us and if you study and read the life of Christ (God himself) on this earth, you will see that He LOVED the marginalized, those that were pushed aside from society, looked over, cheated against, hated because of skin color, bank account, handicapped, where they live or being poor. Or, those abused in every way imaginable, the widows, the orphans, the poor, the smelly, the mentally and emotionally unstable ... and more and God loves everyone! Why do I know this? It is because He sent His only begotten Son to die on the cross for EVERYONE and to give them great hope in Him the famous star and Savior of our Advent!

Oh dear friend, it does not get any bet-

Tackle healthy habits one step at a time If getting a fresh start on a new year seems daunting, try tackling your get-healthy goals one step at a time. There is no easy path to transforming your lifestyle, but this is one time you should be able to see the results of your hard work.

To avoid feeling overwhelmed, tackle your new lifestyle a little at a time. Gradually incorporate smarter eating habits, such as switching out high-calorie beverages with lower-calorie, nutrient-rich replacements. Then, as you ease into a new exercise regimen, look for ways to get an extra boost with workout equipment that isn’t overly taxing on your joints and muscles, and get a leg up on the competition with proper footwear and workout supplements.

Slow and steady wins this race, so set yourself up for success in the new year with these ideas to put you one step closer to the healthy lifestyle you envision.

The right pair of shoes can make all the difference in your workout routine.

There will be ups and downs, but remaining committed is key. * Exercise on a regular basis.

Regular physical activity not only helps you look and feel better, it can improve mood, increase quality of sleep and help you manage weight. * Undergo an annual physical.

To be sure your body is running smoothly, have your numbers, including blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and weight, checked regularly.

All You Have to Do Is Walk

The Right Shoes Can Make All the Difference

If your workout routine involves running, walking, sports or other gym equipment, the right footwear is a must. Injury caused by wearing inappropriate shoes can derail your fitness or weight loss goals, but investing in a proper shoe can help prevent foot and ankle damage while also allowing for a more comfortable workout.

No matter your pursuit, there is a shoe that fits the need, including running shoes with built-in shock absorbers, lightweight walking shoes, thick-soled high top basketball shoes or cross-training shoes, which can be utilized during a variety of workouts.

Tips for a Healthier Lifestyle

Getting in shape and leading a healthy lifestyle doesn’t happen overnight, it takes time, but these simple tips can help put you on the right path: * Be patient. Starting a new fitness regime can be a challenge.

Both fruits and veggies are loaded with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, which help protect against chronic diseases. * Go through your cabinets.

Get rid of foods that are high in sodium, fat or sugar and look for low sodium, fat or sugar items instead.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

• Valinor Quartet, 7 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 14: Valinor Quartet is a unique hybrid of jazz and classical; classical highlighted by Sergei Teleshev (of Trio Voronezh) on accordion fused with jazz by members of the International String Trio — Ben Powell (violin), Slava Tolstoy (guitar) and Greg Feingold (bass).

The all acoustic Valinor Quartet

encompasses the diverse cultural backgrounds of its members, hailing from Russia, USA and England, to influence its stylistic diversity and unique performance aesthetic.

The group’s riveting displays utilize a breathtaking range of styles — from classical to Beatles; from gypsy jazz to Klezmer, from popular movie soundtracks to tango and a few surprises in between.

This multi-cultural concert experience instantly appeals to a wide range of audiences; large and small, young and old, from all walks of life. Their eclectic synergy explodes with buoyant energy, intimate acoustic dynamics, stylistically informed phrasing, and loving attention to detail.

When the future members of the quartet played together for the first time — they instantly new that something very special just happened.

“As soon as we played with Sergei, we got that “shivers down the spine feeling ....” Tolstoy recalls. “There is something magical about how the tone of his accordion completes the sounds of our guitar / violin / bass trio. Of course the fact that Sergei is CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

The group Savannah Jack, performing at 2:30 p.m., Sunday, May 1 will be the feature of the final 2015-2016 season of the Tonto Community Concert Association.

TCCA season continues FROM PAGE 8

an award winning virtuoso who has years of experience playing all over the world doesn’t hurt either!”

What started as an informal jam session quickly evolved into a bustling sonic laboratory as the quartet steadily refined its repertoire and expanded its stylistic reach. The group has now honed its energetic concert program into an acoustic collection of articulate arrangements, exclusive to this rare instrumentation. Such shared proficiency is seldom seen or heard in today’s ever growing market of gimmicks and one dimensional music making.

Among the music selections the audience may enjoy are “La Cumparsita” (tango/Argentina); “And I Love Her” (Beatles/bossa-nova); “Cinema Paradiso Main Theme” (soundtrack); “Those Were the Days” (Russian/gypsy jazz); “Irish Jig & Reel” (Irish traditional); “Isn’t She Lovely” (S. Wonder/jazz); “Libertango” (Astor Piazzolla/ Argentina); “La Vie En Rose” (Edith Piaf/French); “Danube Waves” (classical/European); “Slavonic Dance in Em” (classical/Dvorak); “Tears” (Django Reinhardt/gypsy jazz); “When the Saints Go Marchin’ In” (traditional).

• Hits & Grins, 7 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 4: Hits and Grins features three accomplished singer/songwriters performing original songs both serious and comedic, and sharing the stories of how and when they were written.

• Ball in the House, 7 p.m., Friday, March 18: Ball in the House is five guys, five voices, that’s it. This Boston-based group takes a cappella to the next stage, making “music that’ll move ya” with vocal drums/beatbox and vocal bass under their pop harmonies to create a sound that’s hard to believe.

• Stringfever, 2:30 p.m., Sunday, April 3: Stringfever — brothers Giles, Ralph and Neal Broadbent and their cousin, Graham — are four world-class musicians playing five- and six-stringed electric violins, viola and cello in a truly original show. Stringfever’s unique, acclaimed version of Ravel’s “Bolero” has all four playing on one cello simultaneously.

• Savannah Jack, 2:30 p.m., Sunday, May 1: Exceptional songwriters as well as versatile musicians, band members infuse their individual style to collectively create Savannah Jack’s unique sound. The band is comprised of Don Gatlin on lead vocals, Jay Darby on bass, and Matt Thomas Schumacher on fiddle and guitar. They are backed by an incredible drummer, and guitar player as well.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A hectic period begins to wind down. Take time to draw some deep breaths and relax before getting into your next project. A long-absent family member makes contact.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You’re eager to move forward with a new challenge that suddenly dropped in your lap. But you’d be wise to take this one step at a time to allow new developments to come through.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You’re almost ready to make a commitment. A lingering doubt or two, however, should be resolved before you move ahead. An associate could provide important answers.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Caution is still the watchword as you move closer toward a decision about a new situation. If you act too fast, you might miss some vital warning signs. Go slowly and stay alert.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your new goal looks promising, and your golden touch does much to enhance its prospects for success. In your private life, Cupid does his best to make your new relationship special.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) That impatient side of yours is looking to goad you into moving before you’re ready to take that big step. Stay calm and cool. Let things fall into place before you act.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A legal matter you hoped could finally be settled could be a pesky problem for a while, until all the parties agree to stop disagreeing with each other. Be patient.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Partnerships -- personal or professional -- which began before the new year take on new importance. They also reveal some previously hidden risks.

So be warned.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your associates are firmly on your side, and that persistent problem that has caused you to delay some activities should soon be resolved to your satisfaction.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Favorable changes continue to dominate, and you should be responding positively as they emerge. Someone wants to become more involved in what you’re doing.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A friend wants to share a secret that could answer some questions you’ve wondered about for a long time. Meanwhile, travel aspects continue to be strong.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Stay on your new course despite so-called well-meaning efforts to discourage you. Rely on your deep sense of self-awareness to guide you to do what’s right for you.

Find more game day recipes at jarlsberg.com.

Makes: 1 large serving 1 rotisserie chicken 1 cup barbecue sauce Nacho chips 1 cup shredded Jarlsberg Cheese

Use Unexpected Ingredients.

JALAPEÑO POPPERS

Makes: 16 16 whole jalapeño peppers, rinsed and drained 2 logs (4 ounces each) fresh goat cheese 1 cup shredded Jarlsberg Cheese 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1/4 cup diced green onion (scallions) Dash of hot sauce Cilantro leaves Mini hot red peppers (optional) Using small sharp knife, cut slit down one side of each pepper. Leave stem intact and remove seeds and veins.

In bowl, mash all cheeses, onion and hot sauce. Divide among peppers, stuffing each generously. Refrigerate. (Note: Recipe can be made ahead to this point.)

Arrange peppers in heavy aluminum foil packet. Grill 8-10 minutes, or until cheese begins to melt. Garnish with cilantro and, if desired, hot red peppers.

Let this come to a simmer and it’s ready to serve! (Can be prepared a day ahead.)

SWEETEN UP YOUR SPREAD

PICK A PARTY BITE

Finger foods make it easy for your fellow fans to quickly grab a snack between plays and save the serious grub for a longer break in the action. Tide them over until halftime with these bite-site appetizers. For a little extra fun, use toothpicks bearing the mascot or signature color of your favorite team.

Jarlsberg Cheese salami green grape toothpick Cut cheese and salami into bite-size cubes. Thread ingredients on toothpicks, varying the order and mixing and matching ingredients for different flavor combinations.

Source: Jarlsberg Cheese SWAP UP FOR GAME DAY

Chicken wings, guacamole and cheesy dips are America’s top choices for most game (football) day menus, but the same recipes year after year can get tiring.

Forget the same-old spread and surprise your guests with a little more taste and pizazz this year.

Put these tips into play for a winning combination your team can celebrate.

Swap Up with Sausage.

Transform typical dishes, by

swapping sausage into recipes, such as chili and nachos, which typically incorporate ground beef. The built-in flavor lends great taste and convenience to these dishes. Instead of chips and queso, add brat sausage to your nachos to make brat-chos. Or give this MVP Chili recipe a try!

MVP CHILI

2 packages of Johnsonville Hot Italian Sausage Links (use mild links for less spicy chili) 1 large onion 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 tablespoons chili powder (use mild chili powder for less spicy chili) 1/4 teaspoon cumin 1 bottle (12 ounces) dark beer (OK to substitute light beer or 1 cup beef stock) 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes 2 tablespoons tomato paste 1 can (15.5 ounces) red kidney beans 1 can (15.5 ounces) black beans 1-1.5 cups corn (frozen or fresh off the cob) Salt and pepper De-case sausage and sauté in large pot; use wooden spoon to crumble sausage as it cooks.

Once sausage is nicely browned, stir in onion, garlic, chili powder and cumin and continue cooking until onion softens, about 5 minutes.

Add beer and allow it to simmer for an additional 5 minutes scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.

Stir in tomatoes and tomato paste and allow it to simmer, uncovered for an

24 HR

To mix in sweet with the savory options, find a spot on the table for some fresh fruit flavor.

Favorites such as fruit salad, fruit pizza or fruit kabobs can make for a delectable treat to accompany the rest of your game-day fare.

Mix it Up. Smoky flavors and bourbon are trending upward in kitchens, backyards, bars and restaurants across the country.

Combine the two for a creative spin to your beverage spread.

Seep Johnsonville Fully Cooked Smoked Brats in bourbon for about a day to extract smoky and savory flavors, and mix the bourbon for a modern twist on the Manhattan cocktail.

Find more creative recipes to spice up your game-day spread at Johnsonville.com.

SMOKEY SAUSAGE MANHATTAN

2 ounces Sausage-Infused Bourbon (see recipe below) 1 ounces Sweet Vermouth 1 dash Angostura Bitters 3 Cherries In ice filled mixing glass, add all ingredients and stir for at least 30 seconds.

Strain into martini glass and garnish with 3 cherries on a pick.

SAUSAGE-INFUSED BOURBON

Cut Johnsonville Fully Cooked Smoked Split Rope Sausage into 1/2-inch slices.

In glass jar with tight lid (canning jar is ideal) add sliced brat with 6 ounces of bourbon and let sit for 24-48 hours.

Strain through coffee filter into clean container.

Discard sliced brats.
