TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS
TAKE A FEEL GOOD VACATION AT A SPA Spas have been available to folks for many years. You may not have tried one, but wondered what they were really like. You can find them at so-called health resorts or at fine, upscale resorts that may also offer golfing and horseback riding. They are also available on many cruise ships today. Let’s first discuss land-based spas in Arizona. Canyon Ranch Health Resort in Tucson is a destination in itself. Here, for instance, at like many spas, you will find warm, caring staff members to treat you like royalty. Canyon Ranch promises to revitalize your spirit, expand your boundaries and explore new ways to lead a healthier more energized life with the help of warm, personal attention from the caring staff and leading integrative health experts. At many spas you can soak in healthy bubbles and stretch out on warm tiles while you are being massaged, then wrapped in a warm cloth to simply relax. Your head and body will feel new when the treatment is concluded. Men even take spa treatments these days so as to fully relax. At the spa resorts you may find organized hiking, golfing, swimming, horseback riding, spa Metro Services photo cuisine as well as the most lavish spa treatments with tranquil accommodations.

The sprawling two-deck-high spa facility is surprisingly large for a small ship and offers everything from a Kinesis wall to Finnish sauna. Also intriguing are Spa Villas, each featuring an oversized bathtub, balcony, living area and day bed. Each two-and-a-half-hour session in the private villas also includes a spa treatment. You get Seabourn’s impressive hydrotherapy pool, a thermal suite with two herbal saunas and a relaxation room with heated loungers, and a quiet deck area. Spa treatments tend to be lavish. Prices are overly high, such as the $650 charge for a couple hours’ use of the spa villa, plus, the $30 price tag for use of the hydropool and thermal suite seems like an odd case of overcharge.

RIM HISTORY RIM HISTORY BACK WHEN | STAN BROWN
RIM COUNTRY PLACES CHAPTER 15: FOUR PEAKS
Anyone who has lived in Arizona for some time becomes familiar with its mountain peaks, each with its story and tradition. These landmarks were used for travel by early settlers and enjoyed by recent arrivals for their beauty and history. How many can you name? Baboquivary, Dos Cabesas, San Francisco Peaks, Bill Williams Mountain, Mount Ord. There are so many more, but the Four Peaks that dominate the Tonto Basin are in the Mazatzal mountain range. They anchor the southeastern end of that range, at a height of 7,645 feet. Whenever the traveler sees The Four Peaks, it is such a majestic sight it often causes one’s heart to leap. These looming, menacing, magnificent peaks almost seemed bewitched, perhaps because eons of time have endowed them with legend and mystery. For Native Americans this landmark held unSTAN BROWN usual significance because the number four had been sacred to them from time immemorial. For Christians, the number three holds this position, representing the Trinitarian view of the godhead. For Indians, the number four signifies the godhead, and when it appears in nature that site becomes sacred. “Four” also symbolizes the four directions, each with its sacred significance and spiritual power, and this symmetry is frequently inscribed in native art. It is said that the ancestors of the Hohokam, migrating northward, came to the place where they saw the sacred number four blazoned before them on the mountain, and that is where they stopped to establish their civilization. This sense of the sacred carried over to the Athapaskan people who arrived later. It is to these mountain peaks that young Apaches would migrate for their vision quest. A youthful Indian would trek into the wilderness and spend whatever time needed fasting and praying to discover the powers or talents that God had given him to use for the good of his people. He would stand and stare at the mountain until he captured the inspiration it offered; he might even be visited by an eagle or raven or lightning that would produce an epiphany. One elder of the Tonto tribe told me that anyone can have a real vision if he goes to a mountain and fasts for three or four days. It was in more recent times that another mystery was attached to the Four Peaks. From the 14th century came an unfounded legend that Spanish explorers discovered the royal gems of amethyst at the Four Peaks, and took them to Spain where they added to the wealth of kings. However, there is no evidence that the Spanish were ever here in the Rim Country. Our records pick up during the 19th century when prospectors discovered the array of purple pebbles scattered among the Four Peaks. Apparently, a fellow named Jim Daniels was the first white man to find them, but since he was looking for gold he did no more than file a mineral claim and move on. A series of owners followed over the decades. Mrs. Gertrude Evelin held the claim in 1925 and sold it for $2,500 to the brothers Louis and Rudolf Juchem, stonecutters from Germany. They worked the claim under the name Arizona Amethyst Placer, but due to ill health quit working in 1942. A Bob Dye leased and operated the claim then until 1963, when Cec and Al Stoner bought the mine for about $50,000. It was during their time that helicopters began delivering supplies to the miners, the only

sensible way to reach the almost inaccessible area. The Stoners put the Arizona Amethysts on the map by placing them in gem and hobby shops throughout the Phoenix metro area. In September 1972 the mine was sold for a rumored price of $350,000 to Darrell Smith, who operated it as the Maricopa Mining Corporation. He had an accident with a bulldozer overturning and falling 200 feet, doing significant damage to the mountain. Because of this the Forest Service revoked his operating rights, and ownership reverted to the mortgage holder. However, in the meantime word came from a New York assay office that the gems were of world-class quality. It seems that when all is said and done, this Four Peaks mine is the only source of such fine amethyst in North America. Some have called the Four Peaks a “Purple Mountain Majesty.” The amethyst is the birthstone for February, and has a long history in ancient days for its association with the Greek god Bacchus. The gem was embedded in wine cups with the belief that it enabled the drinker to remain sober. Translated from the Greek, “amethyst” literally means “protection from drunkenness.” Since it reflects the deep purple hue of royal robes the stone has been identified with kings and queens throughout European history. On April 27, 1996 a wild fire, named the Lone Fire, licked its deadly way around the Four Peaks wilderness, and raged for more than a week. It destroyed more than 80,000 acres, along with their animal and plant life. It also gave Tonto Basin ranchers a good scare. In spite of the fire, the mine was purchased in December 1997 by East Coast investors Kurt Cavano and Jim MacLachlan. Over the years the mine has produced $1,000,000 a year in retail sales among a select group of jewelers. Several grades of the gem come from the mine, and
colors range from pink, pale lilac to violet and deep purple. The average stones are from 1/2 to 10 carats, but occasional stones weigh from 20 to 40 carats. The mine is known to have produced stones of more than 100 carats, and one weighed more than 300 carats. According to Dr. Otis E. Young, professor of history at Arizona State University, “These (four) peaks are of a hard quartzite mineral and sit like dunce caps upon the crest of the range whose base is ancient grey schist.” [Arizona Highways Feb. 1977, page 42] The mineral solutions came up between the schist and the quartzite, depositing its amethyst on and near the surface. The loose gemstones that once littered the surfaces have long since been picked and are gone, but in any case the area is off limits to the public and heavy fines wait for trespassers. Another word of warning for potential buyers of the gem: the market is flooded with synthetic amethyst, and the buyer should insist on a certificate of authenticity. As always, every time we see the Four Peaks all the legend and history of it fades into the shadows, because we continue to be entranced by the majesty of the sight. Like Native Americans before us, we somehow sense a sacred Presence in this mountain. SOURCES:

RIM REVIEW • MARCH 13, 2013
COVER STORY | TERESA MCQUERREY
From the heart; for the heart 15th Annual Women’s Wellness Forum is March 23 Each beat of our heart sends our life’s blood through our body — usually effortlessly, always without a thought on our part. To many, the heart also represents our center, the place where all the outside joys and hurts come to rest; the place from which we offer our greatest gifts. The theme of the 15th Annual Women’s Wellness Forum is Straight to the Heart — Women’s Heart Health. It will be from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Saturday, March 23 at the Payson High School campus. The $15 registration is due by March 14. The event is dedicated to one of the program’s longtime contributors, Christy Walton. Walton brought an enthusiastic wake-up to the Women’s Wellness Forum over the years, presenting Zumba, a wonderful Latin dance and exercise program. She would have the Payson High School Studio Theatre, behind the school’s main auditorium, packed with women dancing to upbeat, fast-paced, fun Latin music, getting their hearts pumping and their lungs drinking in the crisp spring air of the Rim Country. Laughing and shouting, Walton primed her students to absorb all the great information forum presenters offered. Her friends and family were shocked when she died suddenly Oct. 12, 2012 of a massive stroke. Walton was a fitness instructor for 32 years and appeared to be the picture of health, so her death was hard for everyone to comprehend. Her love of music and dance opened many hearts to being healed with her ability to teach and promote health. She was also a part-time counselor for the Payson Unified School District’s Park Program and served as an advocate for children in a variety of capacities. KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Abby Rike, the keynote speaker for this year’s event, knows how resilient the heart can be when it has broken under crushing tragedy. Rike was a hard-working, lover of life. She worked as a high school teacher for 13 years, inspiring students to achieve their personal bests. A favorite among her students and fellow teachers, Rike was voted Teacher of the Year in 2003. Then in 2006, Rike lost the life she knew and loved when her husband and two young children were killed in a car accident. She shut down and for three years walked through life present in body only and her health deteriorated. Fortunately, she was not alone; she had loving parents, supportive friends and a faith that continued to sustain her. Little by little she found the courage to return to living her life. She continued her education, obtaining a master’s degree in education. Then in 2009 she became a participant on “The Biggest Loser” television program. It proved to be the catalyst for the physical and emotional changes she needed to make. She gained strength, courage, wisdom and hope — and lost 100 pounds. Rike shares the story of her life, loss and recovery in the book, “Working It Out, A Journey of Love, Loss and Hope.” She will bring this message to the Women’s Wellness Forum with her keynote address at 8 a.m., Saturday, March 23. Following Rike’s presentation, participants will go into breakout sessions where an impressive list of speakers will address a variety of topics to help improve heart health and more. The presenters and their topics are: Dr. Cynthia Booth, reducing toxins to reduce disease; Holly Crump, accelerated wisdom — living a balanced life; Kenny Evans, healthy gardening; Dr. Salvatore Gillette, heart health; Dr. Marilyn Kiefer Andrews, bringing a spark to relationships in the golden years; Dee McCaffrey, cooking for health; Dr. Alan Michels, weight management; Penny Navis-Schmidt, qigong; Roslyn Rogers, hormones; and Debra Shewey, parenting teens and preteens.

MORE INSPIRATION
McCaffrey, like Rike, has an inspiring story of changing her life. Eliminating white flour and sugar from her diet, McCaffrey lost 100 pounds in a year in 2002 and has kept it off. She has shared her story, tips and recipes with a series of books over the years. Her most recent work is “The Science of Skinny” (2012); “Plan-D: The Amazing Anti-Diet That Will Change Your Life Forever” and the accompanying “Plan-D Cookbook: Flourless and Sugarless Cuisine” (both published in 2009); and “Dee’s Mighty Cookbook” (2006). McCaffrey is an organic chemist and nutritionist. Her passion lies in teaching others how to shop, cook and eat healthfully, while serving as a role model and inspiration for sustainable weight loss and healthy living. Through her works she shares a personal message of hope, empowerment, and courage for making lasting lifestyle changes. In her program, expect to be inspired, educated and motivated to implement nutrition-packed foods into meals. She will introduce participants to key foods that are the most important to overall health, including those that help manage weight, lower cholesterol and beat diabetes. McCaffrey will prepare health dishes to taste and provide recipes to take home to try. THE OTHER BREAKOUT SESSIONS

headaches and feel their best by eliminating toxins from their lives. Holly Crump, accelerated wisdom — living a balanced life —Crump holds certification from the International Coach Federation, a nonprofit organization, formed in 1995, it is the leading global organization dedicated to advancing life coaching. The goal of her session is to bring individual awareness to participants’ personal life balance: how the balance looks now, how they desire it to be and a blueprint for how to create a life of health and well-being. The participants will be led through a self-assessment exercise and be guided through the steps needed to create the life they want. Kenny Evans, healthy gardening — Evans is mayor of Payson and has strong roots in farming. He started as a migrant farm worker and went on to create one of the country’s largest family farming enterprises. He will share the success of the Payson Community Garden, which premiered in 2012 and will reopen for the 2013 season this month. He will talk about how participants can be part of the PCG and offer tips for turning that dirt (or granite) in the back yard into rich soil for a private garden. Dr. Salvatore Gillette, heart health — Gillette is a doctor of osteopathic medicine. He will discuss how heart disease is different in men and women and should be treated differently. Participants will learn the top things to do to keep their hearts healthy. He will answer questions about risk, medications, warning signs and surgical options. Dr. Marilyn Kiefer Andrews, bringing a spark to relationships in the golden years — Kiefer Andrews has a Ph.D. and is a registered nurse practitioner. Her workshop will focus on recognizing and maximizing who we are deep within and how we reach out to maximize the sweetness that the Golden Years offer. Emphasis will be on those close around us, whether in our hearts, our home, our neighborhood or our community. Dr. Alan Michels, weight management — Michels practices internal medicine and pediatrics in Payson. Healthy food choices and exercise will be the focus of his program, which will stress that keeping the weight off is not about denial, it is about making changes that suit the individual’s life. Penny Navis-Schmidt, qigong — Navis-Schmidt, a licensed clinical social worker, has contributed to the Women’s Wellness Forum for a number of years. In the past, she has helped participants get the day going with a pre-opening program of qigong. This year, she will be not only offer a chance to try the ancient body-mind exercise, but also discuss it. Qigong uses breath, posture, movement, intention, sound and touch to cleanse, gather and circulate healing energy within the body. In her program, she will provide a series of short, easy to learn sets that focus on the specific organ systems of women. They are designed to break up stagnant energy, release emotional distress and congestion in the body and balance the hormonal system. The different movements increase blood circulation, improve lymph function and promote overall health. Roslyn Rogers, hormones — certified nutrition counselor and herbalist Rogers will share her passion for how balanced hormones keep our bodies healthy and mental acuity strong. Participants will gain a better understanding of how hormones affect skin, bones, menopause, emotional state and energy levels. Rogers will talk about healthy steps to take with and without supplements. Debra Shewey, parenting teens and preteens — Tips for family communication; reasons for teen misbehavior; peer pressure and substance abuse; warning signs; and expectations and love within the family will be covered.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Congratulations, Lamb. This is the week to finish your project and then bask in your well-earned approval. (And if you like, you also can say “bah” to all those detractors.) TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The bold Bovine could find a new opportunity too intriguing to be ignored. But don’t charge into it. Go slowly so you see how things develop as you get more involved. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might try to soften your stand on that important issue. A little more flexibility actually could get you what you’re looking for. A new friend enters the picture midweek. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your inner voice is on the mark when it advises you to tackle that family problem now! The sooner you’re able to come to terms with it, the better it will be for everyone. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Someone reveals important news about a longtime associate. But before you decide how to deal with this information, make sure it’s reliable, and not simply self-serving. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Some intensive soul-searching early in the week can help you reach a decision by week’s end that should please both you and the other person involved. Good luck. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) The possibility of a career change is intriguing. Learn more about what it can offer and what it cannot. Weigh everything carefully. And ask questions. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Work is your priority this week as you try to make up for lost time. Expect help from someone who cares about you. Things take a welcome turn by the weekend. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) A health problem causes some anxiety early in the week. But prompt medical attention soon eases everyone’s concerns. Enjoy an arts-filled weekend. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) As much as you might resent it, a changing situation could require you to adjust your plans accordingly. The good news: An associate agrees to cooperate. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) That old problem is finally resolved, just in time for you to take on a new work-related project. This one could be the super dooropener you’ve been looking for. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) The early part of the week presents some difficult hurdles. But once you get over them, you can start to focus on matters that are more important to you. BORN THIS WEEK: You are respected for your honesty and your dedication to doing the right thing, no matter how difficult that might be. © 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

standout features like a private, canopied teak sun deck and a luxurious dry float bed suite. The spas have been designed with the Feng Shui philosophy and the Zen theme really works they say. The treatments range from a fantastic salt and ginger scrub to a couples’ massage and acupuncture. I understand the staffers are exceptional. You can also get haircuts and various other body treatments. So, perhaps this will tempt you to investigate spas on land and sea. What better way to treat yourself.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH
Sciatica often leaves on its own BY PAUL G. DONOHUE, M.D. 2013 NORTH AMERICA SYND., INC.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have had sciatica for two and a half months. Even though I am better than I was at first, I am taking forever to fully recover. I have had chiropractic treatments and physiotherapy. My doctor tells me it will go away on its own. Books that I have read say that most recover in six weeks. It’s going on three months for me. I also had vasculitis (Henoch-Schonlein purpura). I haven’t experienced any symptoms for a couple of years. I have been feeling nauseated and have had loose BMs and the odd stomachache. A red spot appeared on my leg a few days ago. Do you think the vasculitis is playing a role in my delay in recovery? — J.B. ANSWER: I’ll describe the typical pain of sciatica, and you see if the description fits your pain. The sciatic nerve is the body’s largest and longest nerve. It travels from the lower back, down the leg to the ankle or foot. Pressure on the nerve from a protruding back disk, a bone spur or anything that compresses the nerve brings on sharp or burning pain running down the side and back of the leg to the foot. Pulling the knees to the chest and holding that position for 20 seconds produces sciatica pain. The pain of sciatica often lessens and disappears in one or two months. The X-ray report you included doesn’t rule in or rule out sciatica. If the pain persists, an MRI or CT scan provides additional information. You are improving, so I think eventually you should be pain-free. Vasculitis is an inflammation of blood vessels, and Henoch-Schonlein (HE-knock SURN-line) purpura is one kind of vasculitis. Children get this illness more than adults do. Red blotches that turn into bruises (purpura) pop up on the buttocks and legs. Joint pain, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea (or constipation) also arise. In the first year after recovery, relapses are common. If your current stomach troubles worsen or you see more red blotches, get back to the doctor who took care of you before. I don’t believe that HS, if it is returning, is interfering with your recovery from sciatica. The booklet on back problems describes their common causes and their treatment. Readers can order a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue — No. 303W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: As someone preparing for a liver biopsy, please discuss the procedure, recovery and possible side effects. — R.J. ANSWER: Doctors perform a liver biopsy with a needle attached to a suction device that can capture a thin piece of the organ for microscopic examination. The needle is inserted through the skin over the liver. First the doctor cleans the skin with an antiseptic and often numbs it. The procedure takes less than a minute. You return home shortly thereafter. Side effects are rare. Bleeding is possible. So is infection. Neither happens frequently. You don’t have to prepare yourself in any special way. Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 328536475.
