you travel there, definitely book a tour and stay with it at all times.

You would probably enter from Australia and arrive in Port Morseby. Then take a flight into the highlands for visits to Mount Hagen where you will witness a “sing-sing” show given by the natives over two days with thousands of participants dancing and recounting tribal beliefs.

Travel on through this rugged, mountainous terrain to Madang on the coast, then a cruise on the tropical Sepik River for real jungle atmosphere and a stop at a couple primitive villages and a variety of lifestyles, then to Karawari Lodge for relaxation in the outback with interesting feasts, Ambua Lodge for more culture viewing and back out through Mount Hagen, Port Moresby returning to Australia.

New Guinea remains quite primitive in the highlands section and the jungle growth is rather dense. There is some farming on land that has been cleared and the Australians have trained the natives in agricultural methods.

When I visited in the ’60s and ’70s some of the tribes would kill one another as “pay back killings.” If you hurt one from a tribe, even by accident, someone from the other tribe would be killed as “pay back.” I once witnessed a feast consisting of the smoked body from a “pay back killing” as the main dish. I decided not to partake in the main dish offering but did inquire, through a translator, what the best tasting portion of the human body was. I was told it was the thigh!

Maybe Antarctica has been of interest for future travel in your

book of someday I’ll do this. There are several ways to accomplish this. Many travelers fly south to the beautiful city of Buenos Aires, Argentina for a day or two stay of sightseeing and then onward by air to Ushuaia, the southern most city on the planet. Here, you board a ship for the voyage south across the Drake Passage to reach the Antarctic Circle and cruise through the islands of the Antarctic Peninsula.

You do this in their summer, December, January, February or March. Most of the boats that visit try for two daily “landings,” weather permitting, which will give you the opportunity to walk about near the shore through thousands of penguins. Take a clothespin with you to help mask the smell!

You will also be able to see abundant sea life such as whales, dolphin, seals and birds. On board, there will be naturalist talks to explain the area in detail as well as to impart information regarding the many icebergs that will be floating by your vessel.

This is a once in a lifetime adventure expedition and one your friends and family will actually enjoy viewing your photos upon return.

When thinking about various exotic journeys be sure to research each area in detail and to carefully check out the tour operators. Most of these out of the way destinations are often not the most luxurious and be aware that all tours and cruise vessels may not operate as the brochure may promise. Travel insurance is recommended.

IN THE KITCHEN | TERESA MCQUERREY

Pantry essentials for snowbound days So, did you stock up in advance of the storm last week?

Getting over those snow banks resulting from the street being plowed can be quite a challenge — I know more than a few folks who were not able to get out of their driveways last Friday morning.

Where I live many of the streets are not plowed (when the town incorporated it wouldn’t accept the “roads� because they didn’t meet specifications is what I was told when I asked why the humongous potholes were never fixed).

So, until one of my intrepid family members was able to traverse the ruts made by neighbors with vehicles with higher clearances than mine, I was snowbound. I have a really big front yard and trying to shovel my way down to the road that was plowed would probably have given me a heart attack. I tried pulling out of my driveway several times and became more stuck with each attempt. And then, when I was finally “rescued�

I fell on an icy patch, landing on my “good� knee (had it been the other one, I probably would have passed out from the pain).

Anyway. I love a nice, big, helping of steaming soup and have plenty, plus I have frozen, single-serve meals, so I was OK. Still, if I had a family to feed I might have been dealing with another challenge.

Whether we have children or not, we have all been there — it’s Thursday afternoon (snowing like we live in Alaska and not Arizona) and we are asking, “What’s for dinner?� Searching for inspiration, we head to the refrigerator, only to realize that the groceries we bought on Sunday have run out or spoiled. But before the panic sets in, remember that the solution for a wholesome, homemade meal is right in your pantry — or “Cantry.� “With a well-stocked pantry full of canned ingredients, I know I always have the makings of a nutritious and flavorful meal,� said Kelsey Nixon, host of “Kelsey’s Essentials� on Cooking Channel and Food Network. “Fruits and vegetables are harvested at their peak of ripeness and canned in just hours, making the can one of the best ways to get food from its source to my family’s table. I just open up a can, unlock that flavor and goodness and make it a ‘Cantry’ Thursday night!�

With canned food staples like canned beans, chicken, green beans and broth on hand, you’ll be well on your way to savory meals like Quinoa Chicken Vegetable Salad and Nixon’s Pasta e Fagioli Soup.

For more information about the canning process, delicious recipes and to learn how you can get cooking with canned foods, visit CansGetYouCooking.com.

January 8, 2016 This week’s question has to do with Assets and the Importance of them when borrowing money.

Lenders dissect the entire credit history of a potential client with strict attention to income, credit, collateral and assets. Of the four, assets are perhaps the least discussed, yet may be the most important in securing credit and buying a home. Assets include the amount of money needed for the down payment plus closing costs, pre-paid costs (e.g., insurance and taxes, escrow fees and funds that would be available in case of an emergency). Assets could be considered a reflection of a one’s fiscal strength. Savings and budgeting could be a significant factor in assessing paying habits. What are assets? Common considerations for a loan include stocks, bonds, mutual funds, 401Ks, retirement accounts, life insurance, cars, boats, antiques, jewelry and other real estate. The source and timing of assets is also critical as restrictions have tightened. When borrowers are paying off credit cards to get their ratios in line, lenders want to know where the money came from. If it can’t be determined when a direct deposit is made from your employer or a transfer from one account to the next, a letter of explanation and a showing of proof of where it came from is likely to be required. It may not be advisable to make cash deposits or take any monies from someone personally unless it is a gift from a relative. Large and recent savings deposits raise underwriter concerns as they can indicate loans that have yet to appear on borrowers’ credit reports. Borrowing from relatives to boost savings and credit worthiness also doesn’t help. If funds aren’t reflected on income statements and tax returns, they can’t be used to qualify for mortgages. Make sure your assets are in order with proper documentation. Your preparation can speed you on the road to homeownership.

COVER STORY | ALEXIS BECHMAN

Alexis Bechman photos

Roosevelt Lake in winter offers intrepid campers a whole different perspective on the lake than can be found during the hustle and bustle of summer weekends.

Roosevelt camping in winter I once touted how great camping in the winter can be. How wonderful it is to wake up to the silence of the snow, no one around, just you and the chill. I based this on the stories my boyfriend told me of his camping trips around the country in the winter.

When I suggested readers head out for some winter camping on the Rim in the visitors guide more than a few readers later approached and marveled how I had gone camping in the cold — a thought they couldn’t fathom. They slapped me on the back and looked at me in wide-eyed wonder. I had accomplished something awesome. I nodded yes, yes I had.

Truth be told, I am scared as a chicken of camping in the snow: For every reason you can think of that winter camping might stink — from the frosty red nose, frigid toes and a long sleepless night shivering to stay warm.

Up to this point, I have managed to hold off my boyfriend’s attempts to include me on winter camping trips for six years. Then he got into the Wim Hof Method after his brother took him to a training session in the Valley that had them floating in baby pools filled with blocks of ice. It is a technique that essentially turns your body’s thermostat up through breathing.

You control your body’s immune system and temperature by doing breathing techniques (what looks like hyperventilating), mixed with meditation, concentration and cold exposure, including taking very, very cold showers and ice baths.

Scientists have studied the founder, Wim Hof, known as the Iceman, and there is reportedly some validity to this method.

Researchers had 12 volunteers follow Hof’s techniques to fend off inflammation and the results suggested people can learn to modulate their immune system, according to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. There have been various other studies and Hof holds 20 Guinness World Records, including taking the longest ice bath.

Like many of the things my boyfriend gets into though, I was skeptical, like any good reporter should be.

When he suggested we camp below the Rim so he could take a dip in a frigid stream I started back paddling, thinking of anyway to stay out of the cold and the stream.

But there is a place in Gila County that stays relatively warm during the winter, is easy to get to and has plenty of water access — Roosevelt Lake.

During the summer, the lake is a bus-

tling place for campers and boaters. The shores fill up with RVs and there is barely a place to launch a boat.

But during the winter, we discovered, there are just a few people at the lake.

We initially anticipated camping along the shores of Roosevelt, but found the gates locked.

We ventured a little farther down State Route 188 and the blue ramadas of Cholla Campground came into view. We found the entrance to the campground open and no guard on duty.

We drove through the maze of loops and wound up on the Christmas Loop where there is a tents-only sub loop.

Cholla is the largest all-solar powered campground in the United States. There are 206 campsites, each with a shade ramada, fire ring with a built-in grill and a picnic table. During the winter, you can stay at the campground a maximum of six months. It appeared several people had set up a long-term camp, with solar panels and yard art.

Because each spot on the tent loop has an incredible view of the lake and the surrounding snow dusted mountains, choosing a spot was difficult.

And because it is the winter, there was not another camper in sight. In fact, on

our first visit to the lake, not one car drove through the tent loop.

We settled on T7, which is the closest to the lake and tucked back behind some bushes.

Our only neighbors were a pack of coyotes who howled at the moon or something they had killed. I am not sure because I am not versed on coyote calls, but our dog never raised her head or showed much interest in the pack, so I figured they were a safe distance away.

The campsites at Cholla sit up on a bluff overlooking the lake; so some scrambling is required to reach the water.

With two sweaters, a ski coat, double layered pants and a hat on, I skidded down to the lake so my boyfriend could willingly sit in the frigid lake.

We built a small fire by the shore and he walked in and calmly floated for 10 minutes, his head bobbing on the surface while our dog looked on in quizzical wonder.

Beer in hand, I waited to light the fire, not quite ready to commit to taking the plunge.

He did great though and was not shivering or blue after his soak.

A few weeks later, we convinced a group of friends to join us at the lake. While they CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

Roosevelt in winter FROM PAGE 6

listened to his instructions for breathing, none were too quick to join him in the lake.

We did, however, hop in kayaks and paddle around the bay.

My boyfriend says he feels an immense sense of calm when he does cold therapy. He is aware of the cold, but the pain does not bother him.

I too felt peace on the lake, but from the comforts of a blue, plastic kayak.

I floated on the surface for what felt like hours, barely a ripple on the lake, the bass breaking the stillness as they gobbled up insects. And I didn’t feel any pain.

So, while I might not be brave enough yet to take a dip in a cold stream or load my bathtub up with ice, he is on to something with these winter trips.

COLD WEATHER CAMPING TIPS

Keeping warm is the most important part of cold weather camping. Campers should remember the acronym “C-O-L-D” to stay warm: “C” — Clean: Insulation is only effective when heat is trapped in open air spaces; keep insulation layers clean and fluffy. Dirt, grime and perspiration can mat down those air spaces and reduce the warmth of a garment.

“O” — Overheating: A steady flow of warm blood will keep your body well heated. Several loosely fitting layers of clothing and footgear allow maximum insulation without impeding circulation.

“L” — Loose Layers: Avoid overheating by adjusting the layers of your clothing to meet the outside temperature.

Excessive sweating can dampen garments, which can lead to chills.

“D” — Dry: Damp clothing and sweaty skin can cause the body to cool quickly, leading to frostbite and hypothermia.

Avoid cotton clothes that absorb moisture. Always brush off excess snow before entering heated areas. Keep clothing around the neck loosened to allow heat and moisture to escape.

SLEEPING

Winter camping experts advise changing clothes before going to bed. Damp clothes cause the body to chill, leading to frostbite and hypothermia. Use a thick pair of sweats or thermal underwear for sleeping. Also wear wool or thick, cotton socks and a stocking cap at night.

Sleeping bags should be winter-rated. These are typically stuffed with five pounds of Hollofil, Fiberfil or other polyester ticking.

Put the bag on a sleeping mat; one-inch thick high-density rubber foam is preferable.

Don’t use an air mattress or sleep off the ground on a cot. The air underneath will cool and create a threatening situation. A spare wool or natural fiber blanket can be used in place of a pad.

FOOD

When camping in winter, extra calories are needed to keep your body warm, so plan on lots of extra carbohydrates.

OTHER TIPS

To keep boots from freezing overnight, put them under your sleeping bag. Lay them on their sides, soles out, below the bag where your backside rests. The warmth of the bag and your body should keep the frost out and help keep you from rolling off the sleeping pad in the night.

Keep gloves, socks and the clothes that will fit inside your sleeping bag, what doesn’t fit, put under the bag. This will keep the clothes warm and make dressing more comfortable, plus provide extra insulation at night.

A non-leaking water bottle, filled with heated water, put inside the sleeping bag before retiring will warm it up.

Go for a night hike or play an active game just before crawling into your sleeping bag. After getting in the bag, take a mouthful of water and eat something fatty, like cookies, this gets the furnace started and helps keep it going throughout the night.

Bring extras of everything — stoves and lanterns will fail, water bottles will freeze and crack.

Fire & Smoke Damage Mitigation, Removal and Restoration

Fire Damage is the most stressful type of property damage that property owners have to live through. The loss of property and valuables leaves many property owners confused and frustrated. Fire damage is more difficult, but not impossible to restore. Dry Force will work quickly to secure your property following a fire and begin the restoration process. In cases where the fire department put out the fire, Dry Force will begin with water extraction before beginning the restoration process.

Smoke Damage occurs because smoke will travel and go through any opening. This allows it to move between rooms and settle into porous materials where it can remain. Our specialists will set up specialty equipment to dissolve the settle smoke particles and remove the odor.

Water & Storm Damage Mitigation, Removal and Restoration

Water and storm incursions must be quickly mitigated to prevent further damage. Carpets, walls, and furnishings are most immediately susceptible to water damage. The longer water stays in place the more destructive it can be. Protect your property and the health of your loved ones by quickly contacting Dry Force in the event of water or storm damage. Our specialists will work quickly to extract any remaining water and place drying equipment to dry out the affected areas to stop damage and prevent mold growth.

HELP US HELP YOU BY TAKING THESE STEPS: • Turn off the source of the water if you can.

• Remove things like lamps, tabletop items and wall mounted valuables.

• If possible, lift or prop furniture away from water affected areas.

• Wipe away any water left on furniture.

Testimonials by Our Satisfied Customers

by Fred D. via Dry Force BBB Profile Page

by Charlie N. via Dry Force BBB Profile Page

From beginning to end, Dry Force personnel were very responsive, couteous, professional and willing to adapt to my time constraints regarding access to the home. The staff explained the entire process to me so there were no surprises. Their office staff shoud be commended for the professional manner in which they handle all requests.

They get an A+ in my book!

Work was done quickly and efficiently. Staff was very friendly and kept in contact throughout the process. Took a lot of stress off my shoulders since I live in a different state than the house where the work was done. Also I appreciated their patience in waiting for payment since I had to go through my home owner’s insurance and then get the check endorsed by my mortgage company. Thank you Dry Force!

by Renee C. via Dry Force BBB Profile Page

by Diane C. via Dry Force BBB Profile Page

As expected, having water damage in your house can be very stressful. Every person I came in contact with at the company was very professional and made this an easy process. They did a great job. If they were running late they would call and tell me why.

They got my home back to normal very quickly and now you would never know I had water damage. Thank you for a great experience.

by Pam C. via Dry Force BBB Profile Page Our home sustained a 60,000 gallon water leak from a hot water pipe bursting under the foundation.

The damage was extensive: soil expansion and contraction caused cracking throughout the foundation causing ripple effects in cracked drywall and raised walls into the attic. Dry Force held our hand every step of the way: mapping out the project, working directly with geotech and structural engineers, pack-up personnel, and the multitude of attentive highly skilled contractors to tear out and rebuild our home. The result is a home stronger, more beautiful than ever. We feel very proud and extremely appreciative to Dry Force!

The technicians that were sent to my house to clean up the water loss were excellent.

First they went over the whole procss from beginning to end and what I could expect.

There was so much that it left my head spinning but the technician went over it until I understood everything. They were there on time most days and the job was completed more than satisfactory.

by Ronnie K. via Dry Force BBB Profile Page I was impressed with how quick I was able to get someone out to look at my leaking garbage disposal. It was just a couple of hours before someone arrived. Within several minutes Dry Force was able to diagnose how much water damage I had. Dry Force was able to give me a reasonable quote and a fair time frame to get the cabinet dry and repaired. Within a couple of weeks we were back to normal in our kitchen.

by Dave R. via Dry Force BBB Profile Page This is a letter of appreciation for the fine services you provide. Each person who came to my home was friendly and professional. They were clear about the process and helped us in dealing with a stressful situation.
