TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS
Spring break getaways Spring break can be an ideal time for families to get away and do some bonding. Since this school recess is usually one to two weeks in length, it gives you time to spread your wings and do some travel. It also will help you get over the winter blues. Where to go? The young ones often want to go to the water, while older family members are perhaps looking for fun activities and relaxation. Let’s examine first places to visit near home. Prescott is close and offers interesting places to go. The Sharlot Hall Museum displays the lives and culture of early settlers and the Native Americans who lived in the area. Docents will guide KEN BROOKS you through the many displays with narration if you wish. The Prescott downtown area is built around a square and its fun to walk around the four blocks seeing the stores and restaurants that are available. Nearby is Watson Lake with hiking trails, as well as Lynx Lake. The Phippen Museum offers art and exhibits related to the Old West. The Smoki Museum has exhibits of the American Indians, their art and culture. Heritage Park Zoo is not large, but fun to walk through. The Spot is a child’s museum open Fridays and Saturdays between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. There are also some good restaurants in Prescott. Check them out on the Web. Tucson has something for everyone. It offers adventures to keep all ages entertained. You will find museums, galleries, shops and live performances. You can connect with the natural world at places like Tohono Chui Park and the Sonoran Desert observatories, such as the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory, or ride the Old Pueblo Trolley, which moves between downtown Tucson, Fourth Avenue and University. You’ll find a vintage movie palace, an indoor climbing gym and outdoor movies and concerts. There is an outstanding children’s museum located at 200 S. 6th Ave., phone (520) 792-9985 for directions and information. There are fun, play-based activities for both children and families. Not far away is Biosphere 2 at 32540 S. Biosphere Rd, Oracle, phone (520) 838-6200. This will be of interest to the entire family. Don’t forget Kartchner Caverns State Park near Benson. You walk through caves and discover what’s underground. There is an outstanding aircraft museum in Tucson and one the entire family will enjoy walking about the planes from various periods of development. You’ll find prop planes and jets and the best thing is being able to get close to each aircraft. There are some 300 aircraft spread over 80 acres spanning 100 years of aviation history. The museum is located at 6000 E. Valencia. Phone (520) 574-0462 for information. Phoenix is close and offers so much for everyone. Here, you might splurge and pick a nice resort for the family. You can relax, swim and do some sightseeing. Take the kids through the Desert Botanical Gardens or visit the Heard Museum for Native American art and culture. There is also the Phoenix Art Museum, the Children’s Museum of Phoenix, and Arizona Science Center and the Phoenix Zoo. The kids can go to a first run movie while Mom and Dad have a relaxing spa massage. The Children’s Museum of Phoenix is hard to beat and the Arizona Science Center has something for every age. Be sure to see the Dorrance Planetarium while you are there; it is at 215 N. 7th St.; phone (602) 253-0501 for details. There is also a railroad park in

A spring break visit to Mexico can open a new view to history from ancient ruins (above) to the great churches of the country’s colonial period.
Scottsdale and a Railroad Museum in Mesa, which is open on Sundays. Perhaps your family finances will permit a more distant vacation. Hawaii is hard to beat. There are non-stop flights from Phoenix direct to the islands. Hawaiian Airlines and U.S. Airways are the carriers. Hyatt Kauai Resort is catering to the young ones, as are other properties there. Waikiki is great for the young ones and there are many hotels along the strip for your choosing. Ocean fun and sun is great for the entire family. Mexico is the choice of many families for spring break. The family will probably be safe if you stay in a popular resort area and hotel. Cancun is my favorite, as well as Puerto Vallarta, the Riviera Maya and a few others. Stay away from Acapulco right now. The Hard Rock Hotel in Cancun offers a kids’ club where the youngsters will be swimming and singing along with organized games for the kids. Florida is always good for the entire family. Orlando is loaded with activities for all with Disneyworld, Universal Studios and much more. This is a dreamland come true. Mom and Pop will enjoy Epcot, which is like a world’s fair for adults and part of the Disneyworld complex. We did this last year and enjoyed every minute of the experience. The new Fantasyland by Disney is the largest expansion in the park. The Caribbean is a family pleaser with some of the most famous islands in the world to choose from. However, I would book a cruise through the area. It’s your best value. MSC Cruises will take the kids 18 and under free when using the same cabin as their parents. Many of the Caribbean islands are fascinating and worthy of a tour while others offer fine beaches. The ship’s cruise director will give you good advice before you arrive at each island. Closer to home is Southern California. The beach areas are interesting, however, the weather will be too cool for swimming. Disneyland and Knotts Berry Farm in Orange County may be the right places. San Diego is big city fun with much to do. You can take a sightseeing boat around the bay and visit the zoo,
which is one of the best in the world. Nearby is Legoland just up the coast. Another nice place is Santa Barbara, just 90 miles north of Los Angeles. Plenty to do here and a good place to relax and enjoy the salt air. Wherever you go, may your travels be rewarding and enjoy the family fun.

BULLET TO THE HEAD
Classic Stallone GUEST REVIEW BY
ANTHONY TANTIMONACO Stallone is in all his glory, “Bullet to the Head” is about a hit man who teams up with a cop to get revenge on the men who set him and his dead partner up. This movie is just another normal Sylvester Stallone movie, one liners, action, blood and explosions. This includes an amazing to the death fight scene with axes between Stallone and Jason Momoa. Now while Stallone has good acting in this film, it was not his best. Besides Stallone there were some other familiar faces. Sung Kang plays a Korean cop that teams up with Stallone’s character to help get revenge. You might recognize him from movies such as “Live Free or Die Hard” or any of the “Fast and the Furious” movies. Compared to the acting he has done in his other movies, he didn’t do so well in this one.
The movie also features Jason Momoa; you might just recognize him from the 2011 remake of “Conan the Barbarian” or from the famous Starz show “Game of Thrones.” In “Bullet to the Head,” he plays Keegan, an extremely professional assassin. His acting is superb. Now besides this being a classic Stallone movie, it is also like a 90-minute advertisement for the Blackberry. Throughout the movie Sung Kang’s character uses his Blackberry phone to receive information, and in one scene, talks to Stallone about how great the phone is. We all know that movies need financing, and they get part of it from product placement, but they didn’t have to make it so obvious. All together it wasn’t Stallone’s best, but was still a good movie. If you’re looking to have a couple of laughs and pass the time, I would recommend you see “Bullet to the Head.”

BEYOND THE
BOOKS Public libraries offer Rim residents and visitors lots to love Books, magazines, a movie or two, maybe even music. We have all enjoyed these kinds of delights at the Payson and Pine public libraries. But they offer so much more. All this week at the Payson Public Library there is an Art-rageous Art Fair going on for children. This weekend, at 1 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 23, there will be a cooking class on pesto, part of a program planned for twice a month through April. The popular Taste of Rim event is at the library Saturday, March 9. Visit the bookstore operated by the Library Friends of Payson and you can add to or unclutter your personal collection of books. Then there are the research opportunities the library offers. Sit down with Emily Linkey, director, and she will blow your mind with all the resources she can help you tap into on the computers. And if you have trouble with computers, the staff can always help; they even offer a class in computer basics on Tuesdays. The Isabelle Hunt Memorial Library in Pine is just as impressive with its ongoing programs for children, including young people who are home-schooled; the Polaris Library Systems that it offers on its Web site that shows every book available to readers through the Gila County Library District; its Books on Wheels that provides books to shut-ins and their caregivers; the weekly Wii Gaming time it offers youngsters in kindergarten through the fifth grade; and the bi-monthly movies it has for children (and the young at heart). Called Movie Madness, the next show is planned for 1 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 27; the library will screen the movie, “Hotel Transylvania.” March movies are “Wreck-It Ralph,” at 1 p.m., Thursday, March 14 and “My Lucky Elephant,” at 1 p.m., Thursday, March 21. The library provides refreshments at the movies and the staff encourages youngsters to bring pillows so they can be comfortable on the floor. Call the library at (928) 476-3678 for more details. Both Payson and Pine libraries are planning March 2 celebrations for the birthday of Dr. Seuss. The Pine event is from 11 a.m. to noon; in Payson the celebration is from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. ART-RAGEOUS ART FAIR
The Payson Public Library is pulling out all the stops for its 2013 Art-rageous Art Fair over the next few days.

Aspen and Khrom Barr listen as a book is read aloud during Story Time at the Payson Public Library. The library, located at 328 N. McLane Road, is hosting an Art-rageous Art Fair for children throughout the month of February.
“We want to expose the kids to all the different art opportunities that are out there,” said Katie Sanchez, children’s librarian at the Payson Public Library.

COOKING IN THE BOOKS
Cookin’ for Health is the new series of cooking classes offered at the library. Taught by certified clinical nutritionist Peggy Martin, the classes are a part of a wonderful and popular legacy left by retired library director Terry Morris, who over the course of her years with the library taught an array of classes with a variety of themes.

Beyond books FROM PAGE 6
Martin’s first class was Feb. 9 about modifying recipes to reduce the sugar, salt and fat without sacrificing flavor. The classes are at 1 p.m. and last about 90 minutes. Coming up Feb. 23 is Pesto — It; students (the space means only about eight can participate) will learn about kinds of pesto, its basic preparation and uses. They will create five to six different dishes with pesto, including a quick, simple pasta dish. The upcoming classes: March 16, creating tasty, healthful make-ahead chutneys, relishes and salsas; March 30, super soups and stocks; April 13, spring greens; and April 27, unique vegetable and fruit side dishes. “My approach to health has been a holistic approach ... My belief is that what we eat determines our energy level, our overall ability to function in a way that results in a sense of well being ... In my cooking sessions, we pay close attention to the taste, color, aroma and texture of the foods we prepare. I believe that cooking is an art. Cooking has been my passion for years and I love to share my passion with others,” Martin said. Register for the classes that interest you as soon as possible at the library reference desk. Martin is no stranger to the Rim Country, in the 1980s she worked at Kohl’s Ranch and was one of the area’s many artists; she later worked with the cable company and Mogollon Advisor/Roundup. She left the area and joined the Peace Corps and then returned about 18 months ago and has helped at Tonto Natural Bridge and is now with a behavior health services organization with whom she has developed a nutrition program to better serve and empower individuals in making healthier lifestyle choices. A TASTE OF RIM COUNTRY
The annual A Taste of Rim Country, presented by the Library Friends of Payson, is one of the best parties of the year — every year. This showcase for both professional and aspiring Rim Country chefs is from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday, March 9 at the Payson Public Library. The event is a gala evening to sample the great skills and foods offered in the Rim Country and enjoy a selection of wines or sparkling cider. Scheduled to participate: members of the Payson High School Culinary Club; the Creekside Steak House; the Mazatzal Bakers from the Mazatzal Hotel and Casino; Barbara from The Randall House; Kathy Bickert of MissFitz 260 Café; Laura of Laura’s Small Café; Gerardo Moceri of Gerardo’s Firewood Café; Kevin Mystrom of Journigan House; Randy Slapnicka and Chris Taylor of the Zane Grey Restaurant at Kohl’s Ranch Lodge; Monica Vaughn of Cake Love (caterer); and Cindi Werlinger from Landmark at the Creek. Many of these chefs are returning participants and some are new to the event. During the evening, guests may cast a ballot for their favorite chef. The chef who receives the most votes is named “Best of the Best” and given a trophy, recognizing their official status. In addition to sampling the delicious food and wine, guests can also bid on a wide selection of silent auction items, ranging from a catered five-course dinner for six to fine art work, jewelry and many other specialty items. There will also be a 50/50 raffle, with half of the proceeds going to a very lucky winner. Fred Carpenter, DJ, will provide music for the evening. Tickets are $30 per person. All proceeds support the Payson Public Library and its various ongoing programs. Tickets are available for purchase at the Payson Public Library, with half the cost of the ticket being tax deductible. Don’t wait to get your ticket, as they are limited and will not be sold at the door on the evening of the event. Helping the Library Friends of Payson as sponsors of the 2013 event are Terry Morris and family; Pioneer

Need to track down a repair manual for an old appliance? Emily Linkey and her staff at the Payson Public Library can help. Need to get an idea of what to study for a GED, SAT, etc., even professional licensing tests? The library can get you practice tests. Need to write a letter or another document in a foreign language? Go to the library, the staff can help you access language learner software — there are even some programs that can translate for you. With the library’s access to gcldaz.org a phenomenal number of research materials are at the fingertips of patrons who want to use the computers there. In fact, that same gateway to just about anything you want to know about almost everything can be accessed by home computers too. Linkey can take you to a Web site that will show you every article written in newspapers, magazines and journals over the last 10 years on a given topic. You can see public records and other government documents. You can sit and learn all about a given craft in the hour patrons can use the computers (they’re on timers, but if there is no waiting, the staff will extend your time). Naturally all this information is a godsend for students of all ages putting together those reports for midterms and finals. The resources are even broken down to age-appropriate material. All you have to do is ask. “We always try to find what people are looking for,” Linkey said. COMPUTER TUTORING
The staff can help patrons navigate both the computers at the library and the ones they have at home. A computer tutoring program is offered at the library from 10 a.m. to noon every Tuesday. So far most of the help has been provided creating and accessing email, said Christine Solymossy, who does most the tutoring. Another frequent request is help getting on the
Internet. She said they have been able to handle everyone’s questions and the program might be expanded in the future to provide help to more people. Right now, the library is only seeing a few people at the sessions.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your soft-hearted self is drawn to a tempting offer. But your hard-headed half isn’t so sure. Best advice: Do it only after every detail is checked out to your liking. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your inventive mind should help you find a way to get around an apparently impassable barrier and make yourself heard. Your efforts get you noticed by the right people. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You’re enjoying this creative period. But by midweek, you’ll need to emphasize your more pragmatic talents as you consider a risky but potentially lucrative move. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) An unexpected rejection could turn into something positive if you pocket your pride and ask for advice on how you can make changes that will make the difference. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Your Lion’s heart gives you the courage to push for answers to a job-related situation. Stay with it. You’ll soon find more believers coming out the ranks of the doubters. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Your curiosity pays off this week as you push past the gossip to find the facts. What you ultimately discover could lead you to make some changes in your plans. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) A new sense of enthusiasm helps get you out of on-the-job doldrums and back into a productive phase. Family matters also benefit from your more positive attitude. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) A bit of nostalgia is fine. But don’t stay back in the past too long or you might miss seeing the signpost up ahead pointing the way to a new opportunity. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) If you feel you need to take more time to study a situation before making a decision, do so. Don’t let anyone push you into acting until you’re ready. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) As the Great Advice Giver, the Goat really shines this week as family and friends seek your wisdom. Someone especially close to you might make a surprising request. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Spiritual concerns dominate part of the week before more worldly matters demand your attention. An old promise resurfaces with some surprises attached. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You’re in a highly productive period and are eager to finish all the projects you’ve taken on. But don’t let yourself get swamped. Take a breather now and again. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gift for learning new things quickly and applying your knowledge to best advantage where needed. © 2013 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

EATING FOR HEALTH
February is American Heart Month. Everyone can always do better for their heart health and the following are some ways to improve eating to make sure the beat goes on.
SMART WAYS TO START THE DAY Mornings can be one of the most hectic parts of the day for busy parents. While trying to get the kids dressed, fed and ready-to-go during the morning crunch, it’s easy to skimp on the little things that keep you at your best and ready for the rest of the day. Heinz Nutritionist Carla Addison shares a few easy tips to get the day started right and keep you feeling your best throughout the day — even on the busiest of mornings. • Plan it Out: A good day starts with a good plan. Think about what you’ll eat not only for breakfast, but also throughout the day before hunger strikes. This way, you’re less likely to indulge and more likely to make smart choices. Also, be sure to plan healthy snacks for in between meal times. You’ll feel prepared and ready to take on the day with confidence. • Variety is the Spice of Life: By incorporating a variety of foods, you can break free from the same old cold cereal routine and also get the nutrients you need for the day. Fresh fruit on top of hot oatmeal or a quick fruit smoothie make tasty, yet healthful options. Also, Weight Watchers Smart Ones offers a variety of warm breakfast options, such as the Three Cheese Omelet that can be prepared in the microwave in just a few minutes. • Fresh Fruit is Your Friend: Always leave a bowl of fresh fruit on the counter so you never walk out of the door hungry — even if you’re in a big rush. Keep the fruit bowl at eye level so that it’s in sight and top of mind for everyone. For those extra hectic mornings when you don’t have time to sit down and eat, bananas, peaches, oranges and apples make great onthe-go options. • Start the Day with Protein: Lean meats are a great source of protein to fuel your day. If you’re looking for quick, convenient options, try Smart Ones English Muffin Sandwich with Turkey Sausage, which has 14 grams of protein, or the Smart Ones Pancakes with Turkey Sausage, which has 11 grams of protein. Other high protein options include whole grain breads with nut butters, cheese or hummus. Also, a side of cottage cheese or a hard-boiled egg offers a protein boost to any breakfast. • Write in a food journal: A food journal is a great way to identify the healthy choices that you’re making and recognize the food habits that you might need to change. Start the day with a few minutes of documentation, whether that’s writing down your snacks from the day before, a grocery list or a meal schedule for the coming week. To get more tips on maintaining a healthy lifestyle and to find additional Weight Watchers® Smart Ones® breakfast options, visit www.eatyourbest.com. Source: Smart Ones
HEART HEALTHY LEAN BEEF RECIPES These days, many people are re-evaluating their diets to lower cholesterol and fat. They’re looking closely at foods to eliminate or cut back. One item that shouldn’t be on the chopping block is lean beef. It may be surprising, but lean and extra lean beef are nutrient-rich sources of protein that complement a low-fat diet. In fact, a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that a healthy lean diet that includes lean beef as well as fruit, whole grains, vegetables and nuts, showed similar effects on cardiovascular disease as a similar diet without lean beef. In the study, people using either diet showed a reduction in LDL cholesterol compared to those eating the typical healthy American diet.
Classic Beef Stew
Mitzi Dulan, a nationally recognized nutrition and wellness expert and team sports nutritionist for the Kansas City Royals, understands that lean meat is an essential part of a healthy diet. “Lean and extra lean beef have tremendous nutritional benefits and provide more bang for your buck to healthy diets. Adding lean beef into meals is a quick and easy way to inject necessary protein in your diet, in a low-fat, heart healthy way,” said Dulan. She recommends several considerations for using lean beef in a healthy diet: • Look for beef that is “lean,” which by USDA definition contains less than 10 gram of fat, 4.5 grams or less of saturated fat, and less than 95 milligrams of cholesterol per serving. “Extra lean” contains less than 5 grams of fat, 2 grams of saturated fat and 95 milligrams of cholesterol per serving. • Lean beef can be easily substituted into many favorite and time-honored meals to make versions that are delicious and lower in fat and cholesterol. Whether making chili in the cold winter months or burgers for summer grilling, lean beef is a quick fix for healthier meals. • Lean beef is an excellent source of protein, which provides fuel for the body, helps maintain a stable blood sugar level and takes longer to digest, helping to reduce cravings. While the benefits are real, those looking to obtain a healthy diet must, as with anything, remain mindful of portion control. For more tips and recipes using lean beef, visit www.laurasleanbeef.com.
CLASSIC BEEF STEW Preparation time: 25 minutes; cooking time: 2 hours and 45 minutes; makes 8 servings 1 tablespoon oil 2 pounds lean eye of round roast cut into 2-inch cubes 2 cups sliced onions 4 cloves garlic, chopped 1 green bell pepper, sliced 4 large celery stalks, cut into 2-inch pieces 8 medium carrots 4 large baking potatoes (about 2 pounds) cut into eighths 1, 28-ounce can whole tomatoes 1, 15-ounce can tomato sauce 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1 cup fat-free beef stock (double strength) 1 tablespoon dried basil Salt and pepper to taste Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat oil in skillet. On medium-high heat, sear meat cubes in skillet until browned on all sides. In a separate bowl, combine canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, beef stock, basil, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly. Pour mixture over meat and vegetables in roasting pan. Cover and bake for 45 minutes. Reduce heat to 250 degrees and bake for 2 hours or until meat is very tender to the fork. Baste occasionally. Source: Laura’s Lean Beef
Simple Vietnamese Pork Noodle Bowl
MORE LEAN EATS Chefs continue to be inspired by global ingredients in 2013, and home cooks can take a cue by spicing up their own menus, too. Asian-inspired comfort foods with Thai, Vietnamese and Korean seasonings are at the forefront of flavor, and it’s never been easier to dial-up your dinners. Fresh herbs and vegetables are key ingredients when it comes to Asian cooking and, paired with pork, you are sure to deliver a dish that packs delicious flavor. Whether it’s a quick weeknight meal during the cooler months, or a themed-dinner party, try prepping the Simple Vietnamese Pork Noodle Bowl as an ultimate crowd-pleaser. Savory pork tenderloin and fresh lime contrast the spicy and sweet essence of vibrant basil. Additionally, pork tenderloin is one of the leanest proteins available, containing only 3 grams of fat per 3-ounce serving, so fans can dig in with a happy heart. In fact, the American Heart Association (AHA) has recently certified pork tenderloin as a heart-healthy food with its iconic Heart-Check mark. Now there’s no better way to say “made with love” than by plating pork for any mealtime occasion. You can vary this pho-inspired noodle bowl by mixing up the vegetables and garnishes. Try thinly sliced chiles, crushed red pepper flakes or chili sauce to bring on the heat. For a clean punch of flavor, cilantro, mint leaves or scallions will refresh your palate. For more “made with love” inspiration, recipes and tips, join the conversation at the new www.PorkBeInspired.com/PorkSocial. SIMPLE VIETNAMESE PORK NOODLE BOWL Preparation time: 20 minutes; cooking time: 35 minutes; makes 6 servings 1, 1-1/4 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 1/4-inch slices 12 ounces rice noodles 4 cups prepared slaw mix 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced 4-1/2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth 4-1/2 teaspoons fish sauce 1 teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce 2 tablespoons canola oil or other neutral-flavored oil 1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil leaves 1 lime, cut into 6 wedges Prepare noodles according to package directions. Arrange the noodles in 6 serving bowls. Top with slaw mix and onion, and set aside.While noodles are cooking, in medium saucepan, combine chicken broth, fish sauce, and soy sauce and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to very low, to keep the broth just below a simmer. In very large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the oil. Add the pork and cook until browned and cooked to 145 degrees, 1 to 2 minutes per side (you may have to do this in batches). Let stand at room temperature for three minutes. Arrange the pork on top of the noodle bowls. Ladle in piping-hot broth, garnish with basil and lime wedges, and serve. Source: National Pork Board

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH
Hepatitis C BY PAUL G. DONOHUE, M.D. 2013 NORTH AMERICA SYND., INC.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My husband and I are in our 50s. Both of us had an exam this year from different doctors. Blood tests showed that we both have hepatitis C. Neither of us feels sick, and neither of us ever remembers acquiring this infection. Our doctors say we don’t need any treatment. What is the treatment if we ever do? Are we infectious to others? — K.K. ANSWER: Hepatitis C infects around 3 million Americans. Around 70 percent to 80 percent will have a chronic infection. A sizable number will come down with liver cirrhosis or cancer, but that doesn’t happen right away. It takes 20 or more years before those complications arise. When treatment of hepatitis C is advised, two medicines have been given simultaneously for many years. Those drugs are peginterferon and ribavirin. About 50 percent of chronic hepatitis C patients respond well to this regimen. Two new drugs, telaprevir (Incivek) and boceprevir (Victrelis) have had a huge impact in improving treatment success. Either of these drugs, given in conjunction with the standard treatment of ribavirin and peginterferon, greatly increases the cure rates. An initial sickness after acquiring hepatitis C virus is rare, and, that’s why you and your husband didn’t realize you were infected. The virus can be transmitted through blood transfusions (no longer a threat), sharing needles for drug injections, rarely through sexual relations and household contact, but more possibly through promiscuous sex and in ways yet to be determined. You’re not a threat to others.
