TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS

FAMILY CRUISING The idea of taking the entire family together on a cruise is gaining popularity in North America. More than 2 million kids younger than 15 cruised with their parents last year and more will do so in 2014. We have taken the grandkids with us three times now. Once to Alaska on Holland America Line, on a Disney cruise in the Caribbean and on a Pacific coastal cruise on Princess this year. They love it! The 11- and 14year-old tell us it is their favorite type of vacation. How are the children’s programs structured? The cruise lines divide the children by age group. Royal KEN BROOKS Caribbean Cruise Line, for example, groups the young ones for ages 3 to 5, 6 to 8 and 8 to 11, which takes into account their natural tendencies. Princess Cruises groups 3 to 7, 8 to 12 and 13 to 17. Each participating cruise line does things a little different, but you get the idea. Which cruise lines also cater to the younger set? Carnival Cruise Lines, Disney Cruise Line, Norwegian Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, Royal Caribbean Cruises, MSC Cruises and Celebrity Cruises have dedicated facilities for children and teens on most ships. Your travel agent will know the details. On Disney Cruise Lines the youngsters can be kept entertained and busy from 9 a.m. to midnight with parental permission. And, there are no added costs. On our recent Princess Pacific cruise there were more than 400 youngsters onboard and we hardly ever saw them except at dinner. Some cruise lines offer water parks as part of the swimming pool arrangement. In good weather young ones love to take to the water and most cruise lines cater to this desire. You will want to request a brochure with deck plans from the cruise lines you will consider for your family cruise. You can obtain these from your travel agent or request them online from each cruise line. Some of these pools for kids feature slides that snake, twirl and even “flush” passengers into the pool.

Some of the newer ships now feature all kinds of activities for young people, such as Nintendo Wii sports games, a version of “skydiving” known as RipCord by iFLY, as well as SeaPlex, an indoor fun space with bumper cars and roller skating. What is scheduled for kids in the evening? Passengers will find entertainment appropriate for all ages in the main theater, including such Broadway shows as “Mamma Mia,” “Hairspray,” “Saturday Night Fever,” etc. On Disney ships the young ones are shown the latest Disney films. Some are even pre-release. Most of the ship lines mentioned have designated areas for young people so the adult passengers don’t see them. The Holland America Line offers Club HAL with supervised programs and separate clubrooms. It also has a juice bar just for young people and an indoor teen lounge. What about babies? Yes, there are cruise amenities designated for the diaper set. Minimum ages to sail vary from 12 weeks on Disney to six months on Carnival, Norwegian, Princess and Royal Caribbean. Royal Caribbean features a nursery for ages 6 to 18 months. Each cruise line varies a bit and this information is available from the particular lines. Teen programs are important and again each line can give you specific information as to its offerings. The food situation for younger ones? There is usually pizza on most ships. Talk to your waiter in the dining room about the likes and dislikes of your gang. They can usually serve up food they like. Many cruise lines offer kids menus for both lunch and dinner. Some cruise lines also offer anytime dining rather fixed sittings for dinner. What about shore tours? Most of them are suited for the entire family. You will be given a rather generous choice in each port of call and you and the family can decide which ones look good for your group. What are the cabins like and how are they configured? Each room will have its private bathroom with either shower and/or tub, as well as washbasin and toilet and storage space. Rooms usually provide two twin beds that can be moved together and a little sitting area with a fold-out couch that makes into a third bed with a coffee table,

plus there is usually a desk with lighted mirror for grooming, writing and etc. With our young ones advancing in age we now secure connecting rooms for them and ourselves. The entire day and evening activities are printed out in a little daily paper that is placed under your cabin door early each morning. Read it and decide which you wish to attend. What size ship should you place your family on? The larger the ship often means more special activities for young people. Balance that out with how many people with which you wish to travel. I would suggest one of the larger ships in the various ﬂeets, but not exceeding 3,500 passengers. Ships from 2,500 to 3,500 guests are large enough to offer more activities. If the ship is too large, the younger ones may get lost navigating the routes from one activity to another. Where do you want to cruise? The Caribbean is the most popular for North Americans with many ships departing on seven- to 12-day cruises to the various warm, tropical islands with wonderful beaches. Cruise ships usually spend a day at each of the islands included in the itinerary. Usually three or four islands can be visited in a seven-day cruise from Florida. Other good areas for family cruising include Alaska in the summer and the Paciﬁc

coastal areas of Mexico. Some folks prefer the Northeast area, cruising from New York or Boston up to New England, the Maritimes and St. Lawrence River to Montreal. If the budget allows, consider Europe and the Mediterranean area or Baltic cities with Norway, Sweden and Russia. I find the cruise fares are tolerable, but the airfares are quite high this summer. This is generally a good time to purchase a cruise. There is overcapacity now in several of the popular cruise areas and cruise lines have lowered some fares as well as offering onboard spending credit, drinking packages and more to secure your booking. And, as a last thought, if it is just adults traveling this year, check into booking a transatlantic positioning cruise. You would fly from the U.S. to the departure point in Europe such as England, Italy or Spain and then cruise 14 to 18 days back to Florida stopping at interesting ports of call. You usually have five days at sea to relax. The cruise lines offering transatlantic positioning trips include Holland America Line, Princess, Celebrity and Royal Caribbean. They depart this fall back to Florida in September, October and November and often cost less per day than other cruises of the same length. We did this two years ago and the sea was like a lake. This is the good life!

RIM COUNTRY PLACES

CHAPTER 43: WHISPERING PINES

When we talk about the history of Whispering Pines we need to begin with nature. At first glance in this beautiful valley, so neatly secluded between forested hills, one might think it had been cleared by the early settlers. In fact the large open meadow is a natural phenomenon where the soil is not conducive for the forest trees, and where the run-off from the hills and centuries of flooding has created this grassy plain. Long before pioneers came upon the beauty of the place, pre-historic hunters camped here. Clovis Points have been found in the Rim Country, telling us that people were hunting in the area as long as 10,000 years ago. Pot shards and other artifacts from the ancient people have long been the object of discovery on the hills and up the washes around Whispering Pines. There is a cave overhang, now on private property, which has pictographs inscribed on its walls and ceiling. They are probably from the later Apache hunters who made this valley a major seasonal camp for raising their crops. The famous Moqui Trail comes right through Whispering Pines, and was frequented by native traders going between the Sonoran Desert and the Pueblo villages on the high plateau. It was natural that this trail would become a road used by Rim Country settlers, and renamed The Rim Trail. In the 1860s a military invasion began, with the Crook Military Road blazed across the edge of the Mogollon Rim and many trails came off in the canyons that followed the creeks formed under the Rim. One major flow became the East Verde River that helped form this fertile plain. As

In more recent years another Charlie Meadows, a great-grandson of John Meadows, contributed a memorial plaque for the original Meadows family. It is in the front yard of the old homestead location, owned then by Paul and Eleanor Barnes. He also had new headstones placed on the Meadows’ graves. On that lot there is a huge spring that gushes forth to become a major tributary for the river. Undoubtedly this spring of fresh water was a contributor to the settlement of this spot, as well as for the ancient people to camp here. The volunteer fire department in today’s Whispering Pines has saved the day many times all up and down the river. The fire station became a sort of social center, with potlucks, pancake breakfasts and community programs taking place. The first fire truck was purchased from the Payson Fire Department in 1982 for $1. It had been the second truck in the early days of Payson’s department, given to Payson by the Boy Scout Camp on Christopher Creek when they were through with it. It saw service in Payson until it was sold to the Whispering Pines Fire District. The fire district auxiliary is active in promoting neighborliness in the community and supporting the district. Through the years Whispering Pines has been a community of about 148 residents, about 50 of whom live there year-round. It consists of the original homestead of 160 acres, and there are 162 lots with homes on them.

AT THE MOVIES

Billion dollar-plus movies FROM PAGE 4

office gross. The wonderful “Toy Story 3” rounds out the trio of animated films in the billion dollar club. Comic book films occupy several slots in the magic 18. Marvel’s “The Avengers” takes the No. 3 spot with $1.5 billion in gross receipts. “Iron Man 3” follows at No. 6 and “The Dark Knight Rises” furthers the comic book category at No. 10 and its companion “The Dark Knight” finishes at No. 18 with just over $1 billion. I would have thought that more comic-book-based films would have made the billion dollar club. Popular literature forms the basis of several films in our ranking. “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2,” “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” and “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” make up the entries in

this category. The Lord films and the Potter films are in my opinion among the greatest films ever made, particu-

larly the Rings ﬁlms. The second highest grossing ﬁlm of all time is “Titanic.” The public rewards true excel-

lence in the movies with oodles of money. It isn’t that Hollywood doesn’t want to make outstanding movies. It’s just hard.

Quilts and more are all part of the 18th Annual Strawberry Patchers Quilt Show from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday, June 13 and Saturday, June 14 at the Pine Community Center’s Cultural Hall. Admission is $2 per person. Proceeds are used by the quilting group to benefit charities in the Pine and Strawberry area.

100 quilts expected at show Strawberry Patchers event features locals Organizers expect about 100 quilts at the 18th Annual Strawberry Patchers Quilt Show. Most will be the work of Rim Country residents. “A couple will be from the Phoenix area by people who are members of local groups,” said Elaine Putnam, co-chair of the June 13-14 event with Kris Lovetro. The show is from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days at the Pine/Strawberry Community Center Cultural Hall on Highway 87 in Pine. Admission is $2 a person, and those who bring a can or package of non-perishable food for the area’s food bank will get a ticket for a special quilt drawing. Vendors with quilting equipment, fabrics, notions, patterns and more are expected as well. Lovetro said there should be eight on hand from all over Arizona. One of the more interesting displays features 15 “Whisper Challenge” quilts from members of the Strawberry Patchers.

“It is sort of the quilters’ version of the old game of telephone,” Putnam explained. Visitors at the show will have a chance to get a close look at the group’s 2014 Opportunity Quilt, “Wild Woods,” and buy raffle tickets for it. This special quilt will be awarded to the lucky ticket holder in December, Putnam said. Those interested can also make appointments to have quilts appraised by Gail Van Horsen, a certified American Quilt Society appraiser. To make an appointment, call Putnam at (928) 978-3464 or Lovetro at (602) 390-2046. The Strawberry Patchers is a chapter of the Arizona Quilters Guild. It was organized in February 1994 and currently has more than 40 members. The monies collected from the admission fee for the annual show and the sale of tickets for the opportunity quilt allows the Strawberry Patchers to give on average $3,500 to $4,000 to local organizations annually. Members also make quilts and provide fabric for community service projects.

Vendors at the upcoming Strawberry Patchers Quilt Show will bring fabrics, notions, patterns and equipment to the Cultural Hall of the Pine Community Center this weekend.

FIRM FOUNDATION | SIMONE LAKE

Soldiers of the Cross Fresh from commemorating Memorial Day, my mind and my heart still linger on the many American flags blowing in the wind. As I drive around town, I can’t help but think of the many men and women who have died for the freedoms that we now enjoy in this great country and there are thoughts of my father, who retired as a senior master sergeant from the Air Force, recalling and sharing about his dear friends and serving in the Vietnam War. We as Americans are so thankful for all those precious souls of men and women ... and even those who seemed to be children ... barely turning of age to willingly and Simone Lake faithfully serve for our freedom today. Thank you to each one and to the families that bore the grief and sorrow for loved ones’ obedient sacrifice. BIBLICAL MEMORIAL DAY

The Bible also speaks of soldiers, Soldiers of the cross of Christ. These biblical soldiers endured injury and death by fighting the good fight of faith in Christ Jesus. They, were persecuted in the most horrific ways, died the most hideous inhumane deaths, bore the scars of torture to display for all to see. because as a citizen of the cross, they innocently declared and represented Christ and His kingdom synonymous to God. The soldiers where faithful to their call to follow Christ, Savior and Lord. MEMORIAL IN HEBREWS HALL OF FAME

The Book of Hebrews describes the soldiers of the cross, God’s people, as people with a strong outstanding faith in Him, clearly making the point that God is not ashamed of His soldiers and how they represent their citizenship and heavenly country. They desire a better country, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for He has prepared a city for them ... There is not space to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets, who by faith conquered kingdoms, performed acts of righteousness, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions, quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight. They experienced mocking and scourging, yes, also chains and imprisonment. They were stoned, sawn in two, tempted, put to death with the sword; they went about in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, afflicted, ill-treated, wandering in deserts and mountains and caves, living holes in the ground ... because God had provided something better for us, so that apart from us they would not be made perfect. MEMORIAL OF THE 12 DISCIPLES

History tells of the 12 disciples who battled spiritually on this earth and how they fought the good fight of faith in Christ. Simon Peter was crucified by the Romans, he requested to be hung upside down by the declaring that he is not worthy to be crucified upright like Jesus was. Andrew (Peter’s brother, who introduced him to Christ) was also crucified, hung on a tree in the middle of town. James was beheaded facing his executioner with courage and unrecanting spirit. Thomas’ body was thrust through with pine spears, tormented with red-hot plates and burned alive. Philip — tortured and then crucified. Matthew — speared to death then beheaded. John — exiled died of old age after persecution and having his body scarred throughout his life through various kinds of torture. Bartholomew — skin flayed then beaten and crucified. James (the lesser) — was cast down from the Temple and finally beaten to death with a fuller’s club to the head. Simon the Zealot — crucified. Judas Thaddeus —beaten with sticks and stoned to death. Paul — beheaded in Rome. Their crimes? Declaring and preaching Christ and Him crucified. They were faithful till the very end of their lives here on earth, passing over with great joy for their life with Christ eternally. These original 12 disciples and many men and women since then are remembered for their bravery, courage, diligence and faithfulness in obedience to Christ. May this memorial be an inspiration of strength for those soldiers and followers of Christ existing now and for those who want to enlist in this military. How do you enlist in this military for Christ? Accept Christ as your Lord and Savior and follow him all the days of your life.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A change of season reinvigorates the Lamb, helping to overcome the effects of a recent slower-paced period. This is a good time to restate your feelings for that certain someone. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might not like using your authority to correct a workplace situation, but that’s what being placed in charge is all about. Besides, you have people ready to lend support if need be. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your creativity continues to run high and helps guide you to make some fine choices in the work you’re doing. Keep the weekend free for those special people in your life. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Don’t be surprised if you experience a sudden spurt of energy strong enough to pull you out of that recent period of indecision and put you back in charge of your own goals. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a good time for Leos and Leonas to set new goals regarding health, educational choices and possible career moves. The plans you make now could be a blueprint for your future. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You might have much to offer a potential employer, but it can all be overwhelmed by too many details. Let the facts about you speak for themselves without any embellishments. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a good week to balance your responsibilities to your work-a-day world with your obligations to the people in your private life. Expect news that could lead to a change in plans. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) A changing attitude on the part of a once determined adversary could cause changes down the line. Be prepared to take advantage of an unexpected new opportunity. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You’d be a truly wise Sagittarius to be skeptical about an offer that doesn’t answer all your questions. Even a colleague’s testimonial doesn’t replace facts that aren’t there. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) It’s a good idea to avoid spending on unnecessary purchases this week in order to keep a money reserve against a possible upcoming (but, fortunately, temporary) shortfall. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) More information is what you should demand regarding that workplace situation that recently came to light. Don’t be surprised at who might turn up as one of your supporters. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You might still be in a “treading water” mode, but by midweek, a shift in your aspect favors taking a more active role in pushing for the changes you feel are necessary. Good luck. BORN THIS WEEK: You exude a warm, caring attitude that comforts everyone who comes into your life. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.
