what you want to wear on the voyage. First of all, don’t take a lot of clothes. Remember, most ships are so large today that you may be seen by most of your fellow passengers only once. Try and keep luggage to one bag per family member. That makes it easier to move about before and after the cruise. Remember shoes take up a lot of room in your suitcase. Limit yourself to three pairs. Take a sturdy pair for active pursuits, a pair of flats or flip-flops for daytime wear and a pair of dressy shoes for dinner. Re-wear clothing to save luggage space. Pack three or four outfits for day use on your cruise. To save space bring tops or dresses that you can fancy up for dinner and then re-wear in a more casual way in port the following day. Color coordinate your travel wardrobe. For example, bring two sets of travel-wear, one in black/ gray blue palette and others in shades of green and browns. Also bring along a couple of colored scarves to not only dress up these basics, but also distract your tablemates from the fact you’ve worn the pants before. For the guys, always take a jacket. You never know when the air-conditioning will be turned too low in the public rooms. Take a sweater too; it will give you pockets in which to place your cruise card, phone and the daily newsletter of events onboard and warmth on the windy decks. Jeans are in style aboard ships during the day. Be sure to have travel size toiletries for your carry-on travel bag for the aircraft, but use a regular shave kit with full-size items in the bathroom of your stateroom, packing it in your checked baggage on the plane. I roll a lot of items to save space in my luggage. This includes some pants, PJs, and bathrobe to name a few. Shirts require proper folding of course, as do jackets and coats. Don’t forget dinner wear — this can be a dark suit and/or sports jacket and slacks. You will also need a white dress shirt and ties. If you choose not to dress for dinner, you can dine at the buffet. Make sure your bags are properly labeled with your name, address and phone number showing. Be sure to place your passport, wallet, tickets and other important information in a section of your carry-on to provide easy access when necessary. Take advantage of package deals. Some will include your transfers, airfare and cruise fare in one neatly packaged offering.

Metro Creative Services photos

To get the best seats on the plane, book your travel as early as possible.

While cruising is still luxury travel, common sense and limited luggage makes it more pleasant.

Always shop around for the best deal. Plan for splurges. Sometimes you run into something that is so tempting you just must have it. Be sure to read the daily program that is placed under your door or in your mailbox outside your room in the passageway. It will give you a list, with descriptions, of the various activities

being presented each day. Bring seasick medication in case you hit rough seas. Your doctor can order this for you. Try to get a cabin with a balcony if you can afford it. It will increase your enjoyment of the cruise. We sincerely want you to enjoy your next vacation wherever it is.

Film classic series continues BY ANDY MCKINNEY MOVIE REVIEWER

Our own Sawmill Theatres now shows a wellknown classic film once a month. Plenty of people came out to see “Some Like it Hot” — the well known and well loved comedy written and directed by Billy Wilder, one of the most prolific and successful writer/directors in Hollywood history. Wilder managed four Oscars while making dozens of films including “The Seven Year Itch,” “The Fortune Cookie” and “The Apartment.” Few in the movie industry have brought more smiles to more ticket holders than Billy Wilder. The magic in the film comes from the indelible screen presence of cinema goddess Marilyn Monroe. People have different opinions on her career as an actress, but nobody disputes her stature as a movie star. In every single scene she appears in she compels the eye as few others in the long history of film ever have. Monroe had the kind of lush beauty that has gone out of style in this new era of more svelte actresses. Her screen presence will never go out of style. She

plays here an entertainer of modest talents who repeatedly mislays her aspirations in life to succumb to the wiles of any smooth talking rogue who happens along, particularly one who can play the sax. Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis play musicians on the lam from the mob after accidentally watching the Chicago Saint Valentine’s Day massacre. They flee Chicago by donning ladies clothing and joining an all girl band. Monroe plays the singer in the band. Tony Curtis plays the sax. It is all very sweet and funny, even now some five-and-a-half decades later. The first part of the film, the part staged in Chicago, has a vaudevillian flavor. Lemmon and Curtis banter back and forth like comics trained in the days before radio. Today this style seems forced, but we still like to see how they did it back then. Also playing are George Raft, the famous movie tough guy, who fills the shoes of a dangerous mobster; Pat O’Brien as a copper after the mob hit team; and best of all, Joe E. Brown as a wealthy, undiscriminating, but charming lecher, who takes a shine to Jack Lemmon in drag.

IN THE KITCHEN

Give the cuisine of India a try at home When the urge to indulge in international cuisine strikes, many foodies take to their nearest restaurant districts to satisfy their cravings. But those willing to try their own hands at international cuisine can do so right in their kitchens — and in the case of we Rim Country residents, it may be a necessity (if we can’t find the exotic ingredients locally, the Internet is a good bet as an alternative). For the foodie anxious to try their hand at Northern Indian cuisine, consider the following recipe for “Vegetable Dum Biryani (Rice Cooked With Garden Vegetables, Spices and Nuts)” courtesy of Monisha Bharadwaj’s “India’s Vegetarian Cooking” (Kyle Books).

Salt, to taste 10 ounces mixed vegetables — carrots, peas, potatoes (about 2-1⁄4 to 2-3⁄4 cups), peeled, cubed and boiled 1-1⁄2 cups basmati rice Handful of mint leaves, chopped Handful of cilantro leaves, chopped 3 tablespoons slivered almonds Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Put the spices (except 5 of the green cardamom pods) for the bouquet garni into a pan along with 3 cups of hot water and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat, cover the pan, and let it infuse into a savory aromatic liquid. Crush the reserved green cardamoms finely in a mortar and mix with the milk, saffron and rose water. Set aside. This is the sweet aromatic liquid. Heat 1 tablespoon of the ghee in a pan and fry the onions over a medium heat until brown. Remove half of them and reserve

layer of rice at the bottom of an ovenproof dish. Sprinkle some the remaining savory liquid over it and some of the sweet liquid. Top with a layer of the vegetable curry. Sprinkle some of the fried onions, mint leaves and cilantro leaves over it. Repeat with another layer of rice. Dot the almonds on top. Keep going until everything is used up and the top layer is rice. Seal the dish with aluminum foil. Cook the biryani for 40 minutes in the oven, reducing the heat to 375 degrees after 20 minutes. Open the dish just before serving to release a burst of fragrance. To make the garlic-ginger paste: Take equal quantities of garlic and ginger and whiz in a blender until smooth.

INDIAN CUISINE SANS SPICINESS

In spite of its reputation, Indian food is not always spicy. For example, Northern Indian recipes use cashews to make a sauce that’s complex despite its minimal ingredients. Those who love Indian food but want to scale back on the spice can consider the following recipe for “Chicken in Cashew Nut Sauce” from Ruta Kahate’s “5 Spices, 50 Dishes” (Chronicle Books).

CHICKEN IN CASHEW NUT SAUCE

VEGETABLE DUM BIRYANI

RICE COOKED WITH GARDEN VEGETABLES, SPICES AND NUTS

for the garnish. Add the ginger-garlic paste to the rest of the onions and stir for a couple of minutes. Whizz the mixture in a blender until smooth. Heat another tablespoon of the ghee in a heavy pan and fry the onion mixture over high heat. Add the tomato paste and ground spices. Season with salt. Drain the vegetables and add to the pan. Mix well and simmer for a few minutes until the ghee begins to separate. Remove from the heat and set aside. Heat the remaining tablespoon of ghee in a separate pan and fry the rice over high heat. (Don’t wash the rice beforehand.) In a few minutes, when it is shiny, strain half the savory liquid into the pan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover, and cook for about 6 minutes until the liquid has evaporated. It’s time to assemble the dish. The bottom and top layers are always rice. Put a

Makes 4 servings 3 tablespoons canola oil, divided 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced 3⁄4 cup water, divided 4 ounces finely ground raw unsalted cashews 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger 1 teaspoon finely grated garlic (about 2 large cloves) 1⁄2 teaspoon cayenne 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 1-1⁄2 teaspoons salt 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 1-1⁄2 pounds), tenderloins removed 1⁄2 cup plain whole or low-fat yogurt, whisked Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a medium skillet and fry the onion until well browned. Cool slightly and then use a food processor to grind the browned onion with 1⁄4 cup of the water, the cashews, ginger, garlic, and cayenne until it forms a smooth, thick paste. In a large saucepan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil along with the butter. Add the cashew-onion paste and stir constantly over medium heat, deglazing the pan by adding a few tablespoons of water and using a spatula to loosen the browned bits until the sauce has browned evenly. This should take about 5 minutes. Thin out the sauce with the remaining 1⁄2 cup water and stir in the salt. Add the chicken and turn to coat well with the sauce. Simmer, covered, over low heat until the chicken is cooked through but is not overdone, 8 to 10 minutes. You can discreetly pierce the thickest part of a breast with a paring knife and check for doneness. Carefully turn the chicken breasts over once during cooking. Turn off the heat. Remove the chicken breasts to a serving platter, gently stir the yogurt into the sauce and mix well. Immediately pour the sauce over the chicken and serve. If the dish has to sit for a while, return the chicken breasts to the pan after you have stirred in the yogurt and cover to keep warm.

MORE ABOUT GHEE

According to Wikipedia, “ghee” is a class of clarified butter that originated in ancient India and is commonly used in South Asian cuisines, traditional medicine, and religious rituals. It is made by separating the milk proteins from the pure healthy fats, creating a flavorful and delicious fat for cooking or on vegetables.

HOW TO MAKE GHEE From wellnessmama.com

Preparation time: 10 minutes; cooking time: 15 minutes; total time: 25 minutes. Makes 2 cups 16 ounces (1 pound) of butter – preferably unsalted, organic and grassfed Equipment: a medium size saucepan, a fine wire mesh strainer, cheesecloth, a spoon, a 16-ounce or larger measuring cup, a clean jar for storage Cut the butter into cubes and place in the saucepan.

Family Features photo

Heat the butter over medium heat until completely melted. Reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 10-15 minutes (this will vary based on how hot your stove is). During this time, the butter will go through several stages. It will foam, then bubble, then seem to almost stop bubbling and then foam again. When the second foam occurs, the ghee is done. At this point, the melted butter should be bright gold in color and there should be reddish brown pieces of milk solids at the bottom of the pan. Let cool slightly for 2-3 minutes and then slowly pour through the wire mesh strainer lined with several layers of cheesecloth. The small bits of milk protein are usually discarded, though a friend told me that her grandmother used to mix those with flour (or almond flour) and a small amount of honey to make a flavorful fudge-like treat.

Ghee will last up to a month at room temperature or even longer in the refrigerator (which is safer). Use as a cooking oil for stir-fry; to top sweet potatoes; or melted on steamed/roasted vegetables. Ghee is much more flavorful than butter, so use sparingly.

Verde Valley archaeological sites such as Montezuma Castle (left) and Tuzigoot (above) will have special events for the March celebration of Arizona Archaeology and Heritage Awareness Month.

Our parks are calling

The unseasonably warm temperatures have caused fevers to spike all around the Rim Country — gardening fever and cabin fever are among the cases. It’s best not to jump the gardening gun just yet — more than likely frosty weather will make a return appearance a few times before we reach our real spring weather, probably sometime in late April. According to the “Old Farmer’s Almanac” the Payson area has a 50 percent chance of being frost free around May 13. Experts say the temperature of the garden soil should be averaging somewhere in the 40s before putting in plants. So, start planning those gardens and getting your plots ready, but be patient. However, if cabin fever is your ailment Arizona has the cure — there are all kinds of events taking place at our state and national parks and related sites starting this Friday and continuing through March, which is Arizona Archaeology and Heritage Awareness Month. STAR PARTY & DIGITAL PHOTO CLASS

This Friday plan to drive up to Homolovi State Park to see its new 10-foot observatory telescope at the Visitor Center-Museum. The event starts at 6 p.m. and admission is the $7 per vehicle. Make it a weekend adventure and

reserve a camping or RV spot. Locations with full hookups are still available. Imagine what you can see at Homolovi State Park, located five miles northeast of Winslow. The sky promises spectacular views of ghostly nebulae, star clusters, the moon’s cratered landscapes, and Venus’ crescent phases. Bring a chair, red illumination flashlight, refreshments and bug repellent. There will also be a special session on using your DSLR camera to take pictures. Participants should bring a camera and a tripod, if they have one. Picnic facilities and grills are available at the museum. Homolovi, one of a series of many ancient Hopi pueblos found in the Southwest, offers the public the opportunity to begin their journey into Hopi life and culture. Like the modern visitor making their journey, Homolovi was a stop for the ancestral Hopi people along their migration route, eventually moving on and settling at one of the current Hopi villages. For more information about Homolovi State Park call 928-289-4106. Homolovi State Park is located five miles northeast of the city of Winslow. Its campground is convenient to I-40 and accommodates large rigs, as well as tent camping. The park entrance fee is $7 per vehicle with up to four adults. Tent campsites to

full hookup camping sites are available for $15 to $25. Campsite reservations can be made online at AZStateParks.com or by calling the Reservation Call Center at 520-586-2283, which is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (MST), daily. ARIZONA ARCHAEOLOGY AND HERITAGE AWARENESS MONTH

The entire month of March 2016, the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO)/ Arizona State Parks (ASP) is coordinating activities throughout the state for the 34th annual celebration of Arizona Archaeology and Heritage Awareness Month (AAHAM). These events will focus on efforts to preserve our past by protecting our cultural resources. AAHAM combines education with entertainment to reach both adults and children in an effort to teach responsible stewardship of our cultural resources. Museums, historical societies, tribes, agencies, parks and archaeology organizations will be hosting events across the state including events planned in Arizona’s State Parks. Proclaimed by the governor each year, this celebration will feature prehistoric and historic site tours, exhibits, hikes, open houses, lectures, demonstrations and other activities throughout Arizona. A free statewide listing of these events and activities

is now available by contacting the SHPO offices at 602-542-4009, or by visiting the website at AZStateParks.com/archy. FEATURED EVENT

The featured event for the month is the Arizona Archaeology Expo. This year’s Expo will offer many educational attractions for archaeology and history buffs at Casa Grande Ruins National Monument from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, March 5. The Expo is open to the public and is free. The National Park Service is hosting the event in conjunction with the National Park Service’s 100th Anniversary and the “Find Your Park” campaign. The Expo will provide a special opportunity for visitors to learn more about why it is important to preserve archaeological sites and historic places, what archaeologists, historians and tribal members do in their jobs, and about the prehistory and history of Arizona. The Expo will feature archaeology-related hands-on activities, craft demonstrations, and other fun and educational events. Cultural and historical demonstrators, talks by archaeologists, and interactive activities will help make the past come alive! In addition, tours of local archaeological sites will be offered.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Time is on your side in the early part of the week. But anything left undone by midweek will need to be put into rush mode. The weekend offers choices for you and someone special. TAURUS (April 30 to May 20) Finally getting credit for a contribution is nice for all you idea-generating Ferdinands and Fernandas. But don’t sit on your laurels under the cork tree. Use it as a first step to a bigger opportunity. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Despite the progress made, a hint of doubt might set in. That’s OK. You need to stop and consider not only what you’re doing but also how you are doing. Make adjustments where needed. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The dreamer is dominant in the Moon Child’s aspect, but a dollop of hardheaded practicality is coming up fast and jockeying for space. The challenge is to make room for both modes. LEO (July 23 to August 22) It’s a good week for Leos and Leonas to start assessing what they’ve done and what they plan to do. Moving to a new environment -- home or job-related -- is a possibility for some Cats. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) The week calls for Virgos to make tough decisions, but in a way that leaves the door open for changes. Ask for advice from someone who has been in the position you’re in now. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Disappointments are never easy to take, but you have the ability to learn from them and go on to success. Meanwhile, continue to build up your contacts. You’ll need them soon. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Things might still be going much too slowly to suit you. But you need the time to make sure they’re going in the right direction. It’s easier to make a course correction now rather than later. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Showing some temperament at the way things are going is one way of getting your point across. Just don’t overdo it, or you risk turning away more-moderate supporters. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Things could change more quickly this week than you like. But don’t fret; you’ll most likely find that you’re up to the challenges. The weekend offers much-needed relaxation. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Big challenge coming up? Uncross those fingers and believe that you’re going to do well. And keep in mind that so many people have faith in your ability to succeed. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Testing the waters is a good way of learning about an opportunity before plunging right in. Ask more questions and be alert to any attempts to avoid giving complete answers. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gift for making people -- and animals, too -- feel special and loved. © 2016 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Bring butterflies, bees to your yard BY MELINDA MYERS

Whether planting a garden, enjoying the beauty of your landscape or sitting down to a delicious meal, you have bees, butterflies and other pollinators to thank. They are essential — and responsible for much of the food and beauty we enjoy each day. Unfortunately pesticides and habitat loss are threatening their existence. There is something you can do to help. Turn your garden, backyard or balcony into a pollinator’s habitat. Plant masses of natives, herbs and other pollinator favorites like sedum, zinnias, alyssum, cosmos, and columbine to attract these beauties. Include a variety of day and night blooming flowers in a variety of colors and shapes to support the widest range of pollinators. Supplement pollinators’ diets with a bit of rotten fruit. And be sure to provide trees, shrubs, parsley, dill and other plants that caterpillars, grubs and the immature stage of other pollinators prefer to feed upon. Put away the pesticides. Provide pollinators with shelter

from predators and the weather. Include a variety of trees, shrubs and perennials. Leave patches of open soil for ground nesting bees and some leaf litter to shelter some butterflies, bumblebees and other pollinating insects. Puddles, fountains, birdbaths and even a damp sponge can provide needed water. Include water features with sloping sides or add a few stones to create easier access. Or sink a shallow container of sand in the ground. Keep it damp and add a pinch of sea salt for the butterflies and bees. ABOUT THE AUTHOR

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 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.
