CHICKEN QUESADILLAS - QUICK AND EASY

These hearty nutritious quesadillas may be served as a meal for lunch or dinner with a fresh vegetable salad or side of Spanish rice or both. The goal of the teen cooking classes is that teens will apply what they learn and practice following the recipes and preparing a meal for their families. There will be discussions regarding the timing and planning of meals. If preparing Spanish rice and quesadillas for a meal, the Spanish rice would bake in the oven first, then the oven temperature increased for the short baking time of quesadillas. Another topic: the convenience of having leftover quesadillas in the fridge.

TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS

CAMPING AND RV VACATIONS

BY KEN BROOKS

REVIEW TRAVEL COLUMNIST

There are some vacationers in Arizona and the far West that want no part of vacationing in resorts, spas, large hotels or even cruising the oceans. They want to pitch a tent and make a home in the great outdoors of the good old USA. There is a camping spirit that only they can tune into.

Those with RVs have the same spirit, but decided they want a little more luxury while enjoying the same great outdoors.

You probably already have your favorite escape locations and today I will outline a few you may not be aware of.

One of the top spots is at Christopher Creek close to home. The setting here is absolutely beautiful. It is set below the Mogollon Rim just off Highway 260. The campground offers 43 units that are on both sides of the creek. A group campsite holds 25 people and is by reservation only. The creek is stocked with rainbow trout early in the year, as waters tend to recede throughout the summer months.

Three swimming holes offer a way to cool off when the temperatures get a little high.

Since there was recently a major fire in Oak Creek Canyon I am not aware of any damage in or near the Manzanita Campground, which is located just south of Slide Rock State Park. Like so many other camping areas, reservations are necessary to book a campsite. This campsite is so small there is no room for RVs. The Havasupai Campground is known to many as a fine site for relaxation.

Because of a major flood in 2008 the falls have been reshaped and some falls aren’t even there anymore. Much work has been done to improve the camping area after the flood. The falls remain one of the main interests here and you can see for yourself how beautiful they are.

The Mather Campground at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon boasts 317 campsites, a shower and laundry facility, a general store, restaurants, gift shops and a nice visitor center. With 4.5 million people visiting the Grand Canyon each year, reservations are necessary as far as five months in advance. Between December and March no reservations are required. Securing space is on a first come, first served basis.

North of Oak Creek Canyon is Cave Springs. It is rather small and camp hosts ban all sound devices including radios after sunset. Skunks are a problem at night so you want to stay inside after dark. The campsite is located at the northern end of Sedona’s famous canyon, 11 miles from the 89A turnoff in Sedona. As stated earlier, I do not yet have knowledge of the fire damage in Oak Creek Canyon. If it is undamaged you can picnic and enjoy the scenery. No pets are allowed here. There are 78 campsites underneath the thick ponderosa pines. Lets hope it was undamaged by the large fire of a few weeks ago.

Sinkhole Campground at Willow Springs Lake, Ariz. has a nice overall rating. It has a boat ramp for your convenience and an 8 H.P. limit on boat motors. During the summer the shores around the lake will be speckled with those fishing

for a prize catch. The site offers 26 clean and paved campsites. It’s also very quiet here.

Canyon Point Campground is making a name for itself because it is very clean and the campsites are not on top of one another. It is also close to a good outdoor experience. It is centrally located between the Rim Lakes and some great fishing at little known Canyon Creek. Showers are available at Canyon Point for a small fee. People report that the campsite hosts are very polite and helpful.

The Aspen Campground at Woods Canyon Lake is one of the larger facilities in Arizona. This is a camper favorite so make sure you arrive here early Thursday or Friday to get a spot or make reservations ahead of time. We suggest staying away during the 4th of July weekend. Everything here will be full.

In and around Lake Havasu City, Ariz. are RV parks and campgrounds.

It gets quite hot here during the summer months but fall, winter and spring are perfect for this area.

The BeachComber Resort, located on the far end of the island, surrounded by the breathtaking scenery of Lake Havasu, offers 95 full hook-up RV sites, mobile homes, park model rentals, private launch ramp, boat slips and day beach. Phone (928) 855-2322 for additional information.

The Campbell Cove RV Resort is the newest RV Park within the city where a helpful, friendly staff awaits your stay. Conveniently located close to the boat launch ramp and shopping. This resort is very clean and well maintained; call (928) 854-7200 for details.

Crazy Horse Campground is located on the island just across the London Bridge. This is Lake Havasu’s oldest RV Park and campground. It provides good views of the area.

Park model rentals are available. Phone (928) 855-4033 for more information.

Along the Colorado River is the Arizona Oasis RV Resort.

Here, you can launch a boat, lounge by the pool, ATV, dirt bike and have fun under the Arizona sunshine. This location will be very hot during the summer months, but nice and cool in the fall, winter and spring. It is formally known as the Colorado River Oasis RV Resort and is reported to be an outstanding location to relax, enjoy the river, do some fishing and hike. This is a place for people of all ages.

It is located just off Highway I-10, so it isn’t a far drive from home.

There is a 100-foot boat launch and you can enjoy the ATV trails; a swimming pool and Jacuzzi and if you want to have friends join in there are cabin rentals on the property.

Eating out around here there are several choices such as Taco joints, BBQ, convenience stores, golf courses and ice cream parlors.

There are many more camping and RV parks around and you know your favorites. Perhaps this column will give you more ideas.

We want you to have a wonderful outdoor summer and fall in the great outback.

WARM WEATHER ROAD TRIP SAFETY

As the weather continues to heat up, it’s important to make sure your car, camper or RV is ready to hit the road, from your tires to your fluids. According to a 2014 Bridgestone survey, 83 percent of participants are planning to travel this summer, which includes summer road trips.

Before hitting the road, here’s a few must-do’s to help prepare your car for summer travel: • Check cooling system and fluid levels. During hotter months, your vehicle’s cooling system has to work harder to prevent engine overheating.

• Heat increases air pressure in tires. Grab a tire gauge and check tire air pressure to see if they need air or are overinflated. Refer to your owner’s manual or the label inside the driver’s door for proper tire inflation levels.

• Check engine exhaust and recirculation systems.

• Keep gas tank more than a quarter full.

• Know how to change a flat. It’s important to be ready for anything when you hit the road. Another option is run-flat tires.

on the Dude Fire. The loss of life and the permanent scars that those other crews on the fire suffered did not happen in vain. It will be the same as it relates to the Yarnell 19. Since the Dude Fire firefighters have repeatedly gone to Walk Moore Canyon west of Bonita Creek not just to say a

prayer, but to learn lessons that will save their live.

Yet there have been others, you know, and not just in the Payson area. We’ve had the fatalities here, three tragic air fatalities in 1961 alone. There was Chuck Cochrane who perished while in a slurry bomber fighting the 1961 Roberts Fire. It was his fifth, and as it turned out, final run of not just the day but his life. There was Art Goodnow and Constantine “Corky” Kodz who died just a handful of miles away from Cochrane, just days later while fighting the Hatchery Fire. They were guiding a slurry bomber into the fire when they brushed wings with another aircraft. Then there was Ernie Cachini who died fighting the 1989 Horton Fire. He was struck by lightning. Across the country there have been many other tragedies, though few as deadly as the Dude Fire or Yarnell Fire.

There are more than just the on scene fatalities. There are plenty of Bobby Molleres who die while preparing to fight these beastly fires. There are too many to count

who survive brushes with death while in service. It seems like all firefighters have a story or two of close calls. Then there are the support personnel who usually go unnoticed. It takes a lot of people to set up command posts and feed these fire crews when they are on the scene. And before the call ever goes out for a crew to respond to a new start, there are people in lookout towers watching over the area for a sliver of smoke; ready to call it in. There are also the folks who pass through attentively, happen to see a little bit of smoke, and do what they can to put it out, often just as a fire crew arrives.

At the end of the day, we should remember that none of us are helpless. We all have a role to play, and while historians may not write about many of the specific tales, they are there, and often told orally within local communities. History teaches us that tragedy will strike at times. You are never going to do away with that. We respect and honor those who have made a difference and paid a price in their own unique way.

RIM REVIEW • JUNE 18, 2014

COVER STORY

Roundup file photo

The Arizona monsoon is a well-defined meteorological event that occurs during the summer throughout the southwest portion of North America.

Weathering summer Basics of the Arizona monsoon FROM ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY

How can Arizona, a desert, have a monsoon like India?

Actually one of the reasons that India has its more famous monsoon is largely due to the huge Rajasthan Desert in western India. But more fundamentally a monsoon is linked more to a wind shift rather than precipitation.

In fact, the name “monsoon” is derived from the Arabic word “mausim” which means “season” or “wind-shift.”

Again, for India, during the winter dry period, the airflow comes from high pressure to the north — the dry Himalayas and Siberia. For the summer, the desert of western India heats up and low pressure forms. This causes air to swirl in from the west, the south and the east — all oceans!

The result? Heavy rain.

The Arizona monsoon is a well-defined meteorological event that occurs during the summer throughout the southwest portion of North America.

During the winter, the primary wind flow in Arizona is from the west or northwest — from California and Nevada. As we move into the summer, the winds shift to a southerly or southeasterly direction.

Moisture streams northward from the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico.

This shift produces a radical change in moisture conditions statewide.

Such a change, together with daytime heating, is the key to the Arizona monsoon. This wind shift is the result of two meteorological changes: The movement northward from winter to summer of the huge upper air subtropical high pressure cells, specifically the so-called Bermuda High (H).

In addition, the intense heating of the desert creates rising air and surface low pressure (called a thermal low) in the Mohave (L).

These two features combine to create strong southerly flow over Arizona. The southerly winds push moisture northward from Mexico.

By the way, the term “monsoons” as in “when the monsoons arrive ...” is a meteorological no-no. There is no such beast. The word should be used in the same manner that “summer” is used.

Consequently, the proper terminology is “monsoon thunderstorms” not “monsoons.”

Monsoon thunderstorms are convective in nature. By that, we mean that the thunderstorms are powered by intense surface heating. In addition, strong moisture influx into Arizona is also required.

The operational criterion for the onset of “monsoon” conditions used in Arizona is “prolonged (3 consecutive days or more) period of dew points averaging 55 degrees or higher.”

There is nothing magical, however, about 55 degrees. It originally was linked to the total amount of water in the atmosphere above the weather station (a

precipitable water amount of 1 inch, a quantity thought to be necessary for convective thunderstorm activity).

However, now weather forecasters have identified a monsoon storm season, from June 15 through Sept. 30.

BURSTS AND BREAKS

The Arizona monsoonal circulation does not produce thunderstorms every day during the months of July-September, but rather occurs in a pattern that has “Bursts” and “Breaks.” According to climatologist Andrew Carleton: “Burst” — a movement into Arizona of a weak trough in the upper level westerlies (normally during summer these winds are far north of this location), which spreads upper level cold air into the region. In lower levels, during a “burst”, there is strong surface heating and strong southerly or southeasterly transport of moisture into Arizona. This creates intense atmospheric destabilization and leads to strong widespread thunderstorm outbreaks.

Arizona monsoon FROM PAGE 6

“Break” — an enhanced ridging of the upper level Bermuda and North Pacific subtropical high pressure systems which acts to stabilize the atmosphere and thereby cutoff widespread thunderstorm activity. Meteorologists suggest that a break usually occurs when the subtropical ridge re-develops over NW Mexico and drier air spreads into Arizona.

The monsoon storms are generally short-lived. There are three basic stages of thunderstorm development: the updraft cumulus stage, the mature stage and the dissipating stage.

The life cycle of a thunderstorm cell going through these stages is, on average, about 30-40 minutes.

While the desert areas of Arizona frequently experience severe winds creating massive walls of dust during monsoon season. The Rim Country is more threatened by the lightning, especially the “dry” lightning that develops in the earlier monsoon storms.

With monsoon season starting June 15, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has declared June 22-28 as Lightning Safety Awareness Week and tagged it with “When Thunder Roars, Go Indoors!”

LIGHTNING BASICS

No place outside is safe when thunderstorms are in the area. If you hear thunder, lightning is close enough to strike you.

• When you hear thunder, immediately move to safe shelter: a substantial building with electricity or plumbing or an enclosed, metal-topped vehicle with windows up.

• Stay in safe shelter at least 30 minutes after you hear the last sound of thunder.

INDOOR LIGHTNING SAFETY

• Stay off corded phones, computers and other electrical equipment that put you in direct contact with electricity.

• Avoid plumbing, including sinks, baths and faucets.

• Stay away from windows and doors, and stay off porches.

• Do not lie on concrete floors and do not lean against concrete walls.

LAST RESORT OUTDOOR RISK REDUCTION TIPS

If you are caught outside with no safe shelter anywhere nearby the following actions may reduce your risk: • Immediately get off elevated areas such as hills, mountain ridges or peaks • Never lie flat on the ground • Never shelter under an isolated tree • Never use a cliff or rocky overhang for shelter • Immediately get out and away from ponds, lakes and other bodies of water • Stay away from objects that conduct electricity (barbed wire fences, power lines, windmills, etc.)

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Get your facts together and become familiar with them before you have to face up to that interview. The better prepared you are, the easier it will be to make that important impression.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) New information might warrant changing your mind about a recently made decision. Never mind the temporary confusion it might cause. Acting on the truth is always preferable.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Creating a loving atmosphere for those you care for could pay off in many ways. Expect to hear some unexpected but very welcome news that can make a big difference in your life.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Stepping away from an old and seemingly insoluble problem might be helpful. Use the time to take a new look at the situation and perhaps work out a new method of dealing with it.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You’re still in a favorable goal-setting mode. However, you might need to be a little more realistic about some of your aims. Best to reach for what is currently doable. The rest will follow.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) A setback is never easy to deal with. But it could be a boon in disguise. Recheck your proposal, and strengthen the weak spots.

Seek advice from someone who has “been there and done that.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Coming up with a new way of handling a tedious job-regulated chore could lead to more than just a congratulatory memo once the word reaches the “right people.” Good luck.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) What you might call determination someone else might regard as stubbornness. Look for ways to reach a compromise that won’t require a major shift of views on your part.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You’re still in a vulnerable mode vis-a-vis “offers” that sound too good to be true. So continue to be skeptical about anything that can’t be backed up with provable facts.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Thrift is still dominant this week. What you don’t spend on what you don’t need will be available for you to draw on should a possible (albeit temporary) money crunch hit.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Staying close to home early in the week allows for some introspection about your social life. Sort out your feelings before rejoining your fun-time fellows on the weekend.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) It can be a bit daunting as well as exciting to find yourself finally taking action on a long-delayed move for a change. It helps to stay with it when others rally to support you.

BORN THIS WEEK: Your love of home and family provide you with the emotional support you need to find success in the outside world. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.
