TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS

RIVER CRUISING IN EUROPE, ASIA, BEYOND Cruise travel along the great rivers in Europe and portions of Asia continues to grow with each year. The reasons are several: it is a form of travel that is easy, relaxing, very comfortable and loaded with sights of interesting villages, towns and cities, along with fascinating countryside. River cruising has been growing rapidly over the past 10 years and to accommodate the rush of bookings more and more riverboats are being built for established and new companies. It seems as though each line tries to top one another with cabin comfort, service, dining and itineraries. Most of the European river lines include a selection of shore tours to enjoy at most of the stops along the way. These are usually KEN BROOKS included in the price of your ticket. Few forms of travel include so much in the basic fare. River cruising is not inexpensive, but it’s very rewarding. One nice feature is that you never lose sight of land. There is always riverbank scenery to enjoy as you float by day and night. And you never have to be concerned about seasickness. Some days you might go ashore several times. Some of the stops will be in small villages while others are in major cities and often near famous cultural sites. Among the European rivers with cruises include: the Danube, Douro, Moselle, Po, Rhine and Seine. Russian river cruises include the Neva, Svir and Volga. In India you can cruise the Ganges, while in China scenic voyages on the Yangtze are offered most months of the year. In Asia you can also book cruises on the Mekong River in Vietnam and in South America Brazil offers the great Amazon River. It’s been my pleasure to have traveled the Danube, Rhine and Seine rivers, along with cruising a thousand miles up the Amazon River to Manaus in Brazil. River cruising makes it easy to see various cultures from the comfort of the boat. When is the best time to river cruise? In Europe I suggest mid May through September. As for Asia’s rivers — it is going to be either the rainy season or dry and it is hot and humid year-round. The Amazon is also hot and humid year-round with a rainy and dry season. The boats carry between 96 and 150 guests, unlike the very large ocean-going ships that now carry more than 3,000 passengers. You will experience fine service and excellent cuisine. In Europe, some of the lines include tickets to cultural events such as the ballet, opera or other concerts. Some even offer high teas — perhaps an old castle. Compare the experience of a river cruise in Europe with the old style tour where you often have one-night-stands. There is a lot of packing and unpacking along the way. With river cruising, you always come back to your boat and comfortable cabin after an excursion. One of my favorite itineraries is a

Metro Creative Services

The unique, charming waterways of Europe are growing in popularity as more and more river cruising opportunities are made available to the traveling public.

12-day guided river/tour from Prague and Nurenberg to Bamburg, Wurzburg, and Mittenberg for a full day tour of Heidelberg, then on to Mainz, Rudesheim along the Rhine River with guided walks through some of the towns, Bernkastel, the Mosselle River to Trier, Luxembourg, and Paris for two overnights and daytime sightseeing. If you choose, you can extend the tour over to England for a visit to Oxford and Highclere Castel where Downton Abbey is filmed. Another of my favorites is a floating tour from Budapest cruising on to Vienna, Melk, the Danube River, Passau, Regenburg, Nuremberg, Bamberg, Wurzburg, Wertheim, the Rhine River to Koblenz, Cologne, Kinderdijk ending in Amsterdam, Holland. This is a 15-day experience. Remember, many of the sightseeing excursions are included in your fare along with Wi-Fi, meals, lectures, activities and hotel accommodations, if any. You will journey into the heart of the greatest cities and charming towns, and discover the true nature of the land and its people. You can explore Eastern Europe with its famed churches and cobblestone streets and 800-year-old buildings. One cruise/tour begins in Budapest and then moves on to Kalocsa, Vukovar and Belgrade and then on the Danube River for Vidin, Russe to Giurgiu and a transfer to Bucharest with sightseeing there. Another river trip that may interest you is a 13-day trip from St. Petersburg, Russia river cruising to Moscow on the Neva and Volga rivers.

St. Petersburg is one of the most interesting cities in the world. Your tour will include a guided experience at the famed Hermitage Museum, which houses some of the greatest collections of European art and other collectibles along with two castles you don’t want to miss. One is Catherine the Great’s 1,000-room castle and grounds located a few miles out of town. Another castle is the Peterhof Palace containing another 1,000 rooms. These are furnished and beautiful. Your cruise down to Moscow is ever-changing as your boat moves down the river. In Moscow your tour will include performances of music and ballet plus visits to churches, department stores and Red Square. Viking River Cruises has this available for booking. Some tourists are choosing a 13-day guided tour/cruise beginning in Shanghai, China. You begin here and after a good night’s rest begin an interesting tour of this great city. Sightseeing will include Old Shanghai and sights along the Bund, which is along the Yangtze River, the museum and one night you will be taken to a thrilling acrobatic performance. Then you fly to the city of Wuhan where you will board your boat for a six-day cruise down the Yangtze River. The boat will be deluxe with very tasty cuisine. You will visit schools, performances, and a stop at the Three Gorges and Lesser Three Gorges with sightseeing at a selection of temples and shrines. The tour will include a visit to Xian to see the Terra Cotta Army Soldiers and then it’s on to Beijing for several

sightseeing tours in the area, including the Forbidden City and Great Wall. This tour includes flights within China, most meals and drinks plus a tour manager and land transportation within China. It is offered by Viking River Cruises. Several years ago Norma and I, along with some friends, took a cruise from Florida down through several islands in the Caribbean, stopped at Devil’s Island off South America and then sailed to the mouth of the Amazon River. The mouth alone is 200 miles wide. Our destination was 1,000 miles upriver: the city of Manaus, which has a population of more than 1 million people. The Amazon River is wide, deep and you pass through the largest jungle complex in the world. At Manaus we toured the city, an interesting zoo and the famed opera house. We also booked a fishing trip to catch piranha. We didn’t catch any, but others did. Each way on the Amazon we stopped at very small and primitive villages to walk about. You might enjoy this rather different cruise some time. Some of the companies offering river cruising include: Viking River Cruises, along with AMA Waterways, ARosa Cruises, Avalon Waterways, Emerald Waterways, Scenic Cruises, Tauck River Cruising, Un-Cruise Adventures, Uniworld River Cruises, and Victoria Cruises in China. I caution you not to book cruises in off-season when cold and rainy weather is quite possible, especially in Europe. Pay a little more and take your trip in-season when the best possible weather conditions prevail.

GARDENING EXPERT

Too much or not enough water and never when you need it. That seems to be the long time plight of gardeners. Add to this extended droughts, flooding and watering bans. What is a gardener to do? Become a water-wise gardener. Water-wise is not just about growing drought-tolerant plants or eliminating plantings. It is a holistic approach to managing water to avoid flooding that overwhelms sewer systems, improper watering that wastes water, and poor landscape designs that generate too much work and require too many resources. Make this the season that you incorporate a few water-wise habits into your gardening. You’ll find it is good for your garden, the environment and your

pocketbook. Start with one or more of these strategies this year. Select the right plant for the growing conditions. Plants that thrive in normal growing conditions for your area will be healthier, require less care and need less water. Look for drought-tolerant plants that require less water once established. Keep water out of the storm sewers and in the garden instead. Prevent flooding while improving your garden. Adding several inches of compost to the top 8 to 12 inches of soil increases the soil’s ability to absorb and retain water. This means less runoff into the storm sewers and less frequent watering.  • Use plants to prevent runoff and conserve water.

RIM HISTORY RIM HISTORY RIM COUNTRY HISTORY | TIM EHRHARDT

WILLIAM BURCH & JOHN HISE They both ended up being noteworthy figures in early Payson history. One was from Ohio via California, the other from Illinois. Both died in California. Here is a look at William Burch and John Hise. The word Burch appears in a lot of early records of the area. Burch’s place is referenced in a number of location descriptions for mines, including the first major discovery in the area, that of House and Rouse in late 1877. It’s not hard to figure that this “Burch fellow” was a pretty major person. Indeed he was. He was born in Ohio in 1832 and by 1870 was in California. In 1876 he arrived in Tonto Basin and the Payson area. The 1878 Yavapai County Assessor Rolls have an entry for him and provide this description of the location of his land: “One Ranch or Farm in Green Valley containing 160 acres of Land and Improvements therein, about 8 miles East of the North Peak of the Mazatzal Range and Known as the Burch Ranch.” This land is located approximately where Payson Golf Course is. Burch was

Hises soon moved to Payson and set up a store. The area was growing at the time and began agitating for a post office. John Hise Sr. had some political connections and likely used them to help Payson get a post office. Granted, he was very much interested in his own political career. He managed to get himself appointed as Arizona’s Surveyor General in 1885. But Payson is almost certainly named Payson because of Hise’s influence. Lewis Edwin Payson helped get the post office for the area and the name Green Valley was changed to Payson, after him. Hise Sr.’s son Frank became the first postmaster in 1884. The Hise family did not stay in the area long after that. John Jr. and his wife moved to Flagstaff in the middle of 1885 and after Hise Sr. was appointed Arizona Surveyor General, he and his son Frank moved to Tucson. After a four-year stint as Arizona Surveyor General, John Hise Sr. died in Los Angeles, Calif. in 1889. William Burch and John Hise have very different backgrounds and life stories, but both left a lasting legacy in the area, though in very different ways.

that stays in your landscape for your plants, and to filter water before it enters the groundwater. Install one or more rain gardens to intercept surface water runoff for use by rain garden plants and to help recharge the groundwater. • Provide plants with a healthy diet. Use a slow release non-leaching organic nitrogen fertilizer. You’ll encourage slow steady growth, so your plants will require less water and be less prone to insect and disease problems. Plus, the slow release nitrogen encourages healthy growth and does not prevent flowering and fruiting.  • Water wisely. Water plants thoroughly and only when needed. Water the soil, not the plant, using a watering wand, drip irrigation or a soaker hose so less water is lost to evaporation. Water early in the morning whenever possible to reduce water loss during the heat of the day and diseases caused by wet foliage at night. • Manage your lawns to reduce water use. Select drought-tolerant grass varieties to reduce watering needs. Prepare the soil before seeding or sodding or aerate and spread a thin layer of compost over existing lawns to increase water absorption and reduce runoff. Mow high to encourage deep roots that are more drought tolerant and pest resistant. Allow lawns to go dormant during hot dry weather. If irrigating, water thoroughly when needed, that’s when your footprints remain in the lawn.  • Conserve water and reduce time and money spent on plant care. Mulch the

five-gallon bucket to collect this fresh water and use it for your containers and gardens. Collect water from your dehumidifier and window air conditioners for use on flowering plants. Do not, however, use this water if environmentally harmful solvents have been used to clean this equipment.  • Check with your local municipality if you are considering using gray water. Once you wash clothes, dishes or yourself, water is classed as gray water and most municipalities have guidelines or regulations related to its use. • Harvest rainwater if your municipality allows. The ancient technique of capturing rainwater in jugs, barrels and cisterns has made a comeback. Collecting rain when it is plentiful and storing it until it is needed is one way to manage water for the landscape. But first check local regulations before installing a rain harvesting system. Several states have banned rain harvesting, while others offer rebates or rain barrels at a discount to gardeners. ABOUT THE AUTHOR

soil around trees, shrubs and other plants with several inches of woodchips, shredded leaves, evergreen needles or other organic material. Mulching reduces watering frequency, prevents soil compaction from heavy rainfall thus increasing water absorption. It also adds organic matter to

the soil as it decomposes.  • Repair leaking faucets, fittings and garden hoses. A slow leak of one drip per second can waste up to nine gallons of water per day. • Look for and use wasted water. Collect the “warming water” typically wasted when preparing baths and showers. Use a

Rim Country is in bloom. Drive down Main or along any street and you will be greeted by the colors of spring. Meanwhile, Plant Fair Nursery and garden centers at other stores in town have bedding plants ready to set in your garden plots.

RIM COUNTRY IN

Green thumbs are getting itchy There is an epidemic of itchy green thumbs plaguing Rim Country these days. But before you scratch that itch, take your soil’s temperature. The handy folks at Plant Fair Nursery, which has been serving Rim Country gardeners for more than 30 years, have a great little handout about when to plant vegetables in the area for the most success. It all depends on pH (the acidity or alkalinity of the soil) and soil temperature. The pH can be tested with any number of kits available for purchase or you can try some kitchen chemistry. The website, preparednessmama.com gives these guidelines for a “homemade” pH test: You will need a cup of soil from different parts of your garden, some vinegar and baking soda and distilled water. Collect a cup of soil from different parts of your garden and put 2 spoonfuls into separate containers. Add 1/2 cup of vinegar to the soil. If it fizzes, you have alkaline soil, with a pH between 7 and 8. If it doesn’t fizz after doing the vinegar test, then add distilled water to the other container until 2 teaspoons of soil is muddy. Add 1/2 cup baking soda. If it fizzes you have acidic soil, most likely with a pH between 5 and 6. If your soil doesn’t react at all it is neu-

tral with a pH of 7 and you are very lucky! Knowing the pH level of your garden soil will help determine if it needs modification to be most beneficial to your plants. As for taking the soil’s temperature — I suppose you can get a general idea from the watching the average overnight lows for a while before getting your hands dirty or you can use an actual thermometer. Using a probe-type thermometer is an accurate method for testing soil temperature. Probe-type thermometers with at least three inches of metal stem are recommended. The long stem allows the thermometer to be placed deeply into the soil or at varying depths. These are available at most home and hardware stores and resemble a meat thermometer, but have a lower temperature range, typically from 0 to 180 degrees (from gardenguides.com). WHAT TO PLANT WHEN

When the soil temperature is at least 40 degrees, the following vegetables can be planted: these varieties are best if planted from seed — beets, carrots, lettuce, parsnips, peas, radishes, spinach, Swiss chard and turnips; from seeds or bedding plants

— broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cantaloupe, cauliflower, celery, onions and parsley. The 40-degree soil temperature is usually found from mid March to mid May and again from early August through mid September, according to the material from Plant Fair. Once the temperature of your soil reaches 50 degrees you can plant: best from seed corn and potatoes; and from bedding plants or seeds: tomatoes. Asparagus also needs a soil temperature of at least 50 degrees, but its best if the roots are planted between now and April, and then its best to plant by seed from April through June 1. These temperatures usually occur from mid May through mid July. Wait for 60-degree soil temperatures to plant: best from seed lima and snap beans and muskmelon; and from seed or bedding plants: cucumbers, okra, peppers, pumpkins, squash and watermelon. COMMUNITY GARDEN

Rim Country residents needing space for a vegetable garden may still be able to rent a plot in the Payson Community Garden. Only a limited number of the $60, 6-feet-by-

12-feet spaces are still available. The fee covers the cost of compost and each space has access to water. Gardeners are responsible for providing a drip system, keeping their plot and surrounding area free of weeds along with any garden or flowering plants they wish to plant. Since it is a Community Garden, garden organizers ask members to put in a couple of workdays a season to help keep the garden in shape. Other volunteer opportunities include serving as a garden mentor and being available to answer any questions. The maintenance crew keeps the tools working. Garden monitors make sure the garden is safe while the gates are open. The carpentry crew works on various wood-working projects, the painters keep them looking nice. Some like to volunteer to keep the butterfly garden lush, while others dedicate themselves to making sure the water always flows. During the months of March and April, the garden will only be open on Saturdays from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. Starting in May the garden will be open from 7 a.m. until 11 a.m., and again from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m., Monday through Friday. Saturdays, the garden will remain open all day from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. The garden is closed Sundays. For more information or to inquire about a plot, please call Linda Croy at (928) 9510543.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A pesky health problem should clear up soon. Meanwhile, travel -- both for personal as well as for business reasons -- is strong in the Aries aspect this week, and well into the next. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Look for Bovines to be on the move this week, whether it’s traveling for fun or for business. Other “moves” include workplace adjustments and, for some, relationship changes. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Geminis who have just gone through a hectic period involving job and/or family matters might want to take some well-earned time out to relax and restore those drained energy levels. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A romantic situation seems to have stalled, just when the Moon Child was expecting it to go forward. Could that be a bad case of miscommunication going on. Talk it over openly and honestly. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Showing a genuine interest in something that’s important to a friend, family member or colleague could open a communication line that had been pretty much shut down for a while. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Making a potentially life-changing decision takes as much knowledge as you can gather, plus determination and patience. Take your time working it out. Don’t let anyone rush you. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You should be back on schedule and heading in the right direction after clearing up a misunderstanding. But there could still be some setbacks. If so, correct them immediately. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) A business matter keeps you pretty busy, but try to squeeze in time to be with family as well as close friends. You need the good vibrations you get from people who care for you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Investing in an attractive prospect (business or personal) with little or no information can be risky. Avoid future problems by getting all the facts before you act. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Someone close to you might have an unexpected reaction to a decision you feel you’re prepared to make. Listen to his or her point of view. It could prove to be surprisingly helpful. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Don’t give up yet. That once warm, personal relationship that seems to be cooling off fast could recover with some tender, loving care, and who better than you to provide it? PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Career matters are strong this week. You might want to enter a training program to enhance your skills. Also, consider getting professional help in preparing a brilliant resume. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of respecting the feelings of others, which is one reason people feel comfortable having you in their lives. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
