TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS

REPOSITIONING CRUISES Many cruise lines reposition their ships from one cruise area to another depending on the season of the year. An example would be ships that cruise from Florida ports for one- and two-week cruises into the Caribbean calling at tropical islands during the fall, winter and spring of the year are sometimes repositioned for cruises in the Mediterranean area home porting in perhaps the port for Rome or Barcelona, Spain. They spend the summer offering scenic seven- and 10-day cruises in that region until the fall of the year KEN BROOKS when, they once again reposition back to their Florida home ports to resume Caribbean cruises. Ships that offer Alaska cruises are also usually repositioned from Caribbean service through the Panama Canal and up the West Coast to Seattle or Vancouver for seven-day and longer Alaska cruises. In the early fall, these same ships are once again returned to Florida for winter Caribbean Cruising. A few ships depart Florida in late spring and head up the East Coast making interesting stops along the way and usually including a couple fascinating stops in New England ports. Later, these ships enter Canadian waters to often cruise into the Sagunay River, then into the St. Lawrence River and ending in beautiful Montreal, Quebec. We did this earlier last year on a Holland America Lines ship, the Maasdam, and found the 15-day cruise most interesting and satisfying. The scenery steals the show! Other positioning cruises can be to Hawaii, while others cruise from Florida to California through the Panama Canal then heading north through Central America and Mexico to either San Diego or the port of Los Angeles. A few cruise lines position ships from American ports to China and other regions in Asia. These relocation cruises are usually longer than most with often interesting itineraries, unique ports of call and all the time in the world to enjoy a full and fun journey. One of the best features of these cruises is usually less costly fares as compared to a regular Caribbean or Mediterranean cruise alone. In older days, passenger lines repositioned their ships empty with only the crew and officers on board. More recently, they discovered that passengers would enjoy the longer cruises at reduced fares, crossing the Atlantic Ocean to or from Europe and the Mediterranean. These cruises offer the same high quality service, food and entertainment as they do on their regular cruise patterns. Twice in the last couple years Norma and I have taken one of these cruises, both from Europe to Florida. Last year we departed Genoa, Italy on MSC’s Divina for a 19-day cruise that first called at Barcelona,

Spain, then Casablanca, Morocco, followed by the Canary Islands in the Atlantic before heading southwest down the Atlantic for five days sailing into the Caribbean for port calls at Jamaica, St. Martin and St. Thomas before heading to Miami. It was a fantastic experience! We enjoyed a large balcony cabin and spent hours during sea days sitting outside on our private veranda enjoying the sea air, sunny skies, reading books, napping and getting plenty of rest. What a life! You can do this also with proper planning. To and from Europe sailing are the most popular of this variety. The trip can take as few as 13 days or as many as 35. Depending on the cruise you select, ports of call may include Dubrovnik, Monte Carlo, Malaga, Lisbon, Cherbourg or Bermuda. From Buenos Aires, Argentina you could do a 31-day voyage to Fort Lauderdale or a 34-day trip all the way to New York City. Ports of call vary but may include Montevideo, Cape Horn, the Strait of Magellan, Ushuaia, Lima or the Cayman Islands. Holland America Line is a good one to contact for these cruises. Some examples for fall Europe to USA positioning cruises are as follows: Costa Cruises beautiful new Deliziosa departs Venice for Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Nov. 27 for a 34-day voyage. Holland America Lines medium size, 1,200-passenger Maasdam leaves the port of Rome for a 28-day cruise voyage to Fort Lauderdale. On Nov. 2, their Nieuw Amsterdam cruises from Barcelona to Fort Lauderdale. HAL’s luxurious Prinsendam leaves the port of Rome Nov. 9 for a 15-day crossing to Fort Lauderdale. MSC’s (Mediterranean Shipping Company) lovely, luxurious Divina leaves

Genoa on an 18-day voyage to Miami Oct. 24 calling at interesting ports along the way. This is an Italian ship that caters to a European and American audience that you may find interesting. The Divina is large, very modern with great entertainment in the evenings as well as in the smaller clubs and pubs. The staterooms are beautifully decorated with all the amenities you would desire. We have cruised with this line several times. Oct. 29 is the sailing date for NCL’s (Norwegian Cruise Line) Norwegian Jade for a 16-day cruise from Barcelona to Houston, Texas. The Norwegian Spirit sets sail Oct. 24 for a 16-day cruise from Barcelona to Port Canaveral, Fla. Princess Cruises luxurious Emerald Princess departs Barcelona for Fort Lauderdale Oct. 3. This is also a lovely ship we enjoyed earlier this year. The Island Princess departs Nov. 6 for a 19-day voyage from Venice to Fort Lauderdale. The Ocean Princess sails Dec. 2 on an 18-day cruise from the port of Rome to Fort Lauderdale. In the South Pacific, the Pacific Princess sails 16 days from the beautiful islands of Tahiti to Los Angeles. If you have never seen this part of the world, consider this trip. The Pacific Princess is one of the two smaller vessels of the line which carries only about 850 passengers. Another interesting cruise for you might be on RCCL’s Liberty of the Seas departing from New York Nov. 1 for a 12-day sailing to Galveston. By traveling on one of these 2015 relocation cruises, you will be able to purchase the most affordable to absolutely cheap deals on the market. Booking is all you need to do for a budget-relaxing, sea-days intensive, low-season discounted vacation in October, November and December this

According to word received here yesterday, the body of Dick Williams, formerly of Winslow and also a resident of the Tonto Basin and later of Flagstaff, was found near Seligman early

Wednesday and attempts are being made to locate relatives. Death was evidently caused by natural causes as no marks of violence were discovered on the body. Death was believed to have occurred at least five days before the body was discovered. Since leaving Flagstaff Williams has been trapping in the mountains. No trace of relatives of the dead man had been found by officers up to a late hour yesterday. The area around Dick Williams Creek is rugged and it sounds like Dick Williams was too.

COVER STORY | PETE ALESHIRE

Make way for the CHEF BY MICHELE NELSON ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

Chef Richard Erskine loves cooking and he loves teaching. So, what does a chef with tons of experience, who had a show on both TV and radio and his own cookbook do? Teach culinary arts at Payson High School and start an “Ask the Chef” column with the Payson Roundup. The southern chef came to Payson this year to take over the PHS Culinary Arts and Life Skills program from Devon Wells — the recently retired instructor who brought in the Career in Culinary Arts Program to Payson. He had other reasons, too. In fact, millions of them. In the

Chef Richard brings a southern flare for cooking to teaching in Payson south, they call them ‘skeeters.’ “Yes, not nearly as many skeeters,” he agreed then added, “but I just wanted to start a new life in a new area and I thought that this looked like a nice area of the country to look.” He’s wasted no time settling in. For the last few weeks, he booked a booth at the Payson Farmers Market to showcase his

senior culinary arts students’ skills. Rotating in students, Erskine had a menu of omelets and biscuits and gravy along with specialties made from Farmers Market produce. Next, Erskine turned his attention to the Northern Gila County Fair. He had his beginning to advanced Culinary Arts and Life

Skills students enter cooking and sewing projects. “For beginning culinary I gave them 10 basic recipes of muffins and candy. Culinary II did something gluten-free,” he said. His Life Skills class entered scarecrows to show off their sewing skills. Erskine said his love of cooking started at home. His father,

a lieutenant commander in the Navy, and his mother loved cooking because with six children, someone was always hungry. “Both my mother and father cooked in the house, so there was always cooking going on,” he said. Then he joined 4-H and honed his skills. He entered the county cooking contest and won his county and district out of the eight to 10 high schools in the Charleston area. But he didn’t stop there. “I was involved in the old home economics (class) and I helped out in the cafeteria during free periods,” said Erskine. Erskine’s favorite style of CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

cooking shouldn’t be a surprise since he grew up in Charleston, a city by the sea — southern comfort foods and seafood. During college, Erskine learned he also loved teaching. “During college at Johnson & Wales University, I was asked to teach hospitality students basic culinary skills and ever since then I have loved teaching,” he said. Watching him with the Culinary I students, his teaching talent shines through. He never got fazed when students didn’t know a caramel would melt a plastic cup in the microwave or that bananas are best mashed with a fork. Instead, he calmly told them, “Make sure you’re following directions,” and “Each of the kitchens has a fan…” Erskine never misses a chance to teach. He said people would come up to him in the market and ask basic cooking questions, so he decided to help them and wrote an “Ask The Chef” column for two different newspapers in the south. “I have a lot of people that come up to me at the grocery store or email me with basic cooking questions so I thought I would start writing an article and answer folks’ questions,” he said. Erskine’s column afforded him a chance to delve into many topics, but he does have a favorite one. “I love explaining to people what cuts of meats are used for what cooking techniques, etc.,” he said. Erskine will have his “Ask The Chef”

column weekly in The Rim Review. Please send questions to chefrke2@ aol.com. Erskine asks that people include their name, town or community they live in and their phone number. “In case they want me to call them,” he said.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Personal matters claim a good deal of the Lamb’s time in the early part of the week. But by midweek, pragmatic considerations (work, school, job-seeking, etc.) begin to take priority. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The seasonal shift ignites the Bovine’s creative aspects. You could do well if you try to combine your penchant for innovation with the more pragmatic demands of the week. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Ideas come easily to you this week. And never mind that some might suggest they’re unworkable and/ or impractical. It’s your vision that counts. Work them out and see what turns up. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Personal matters continue to dominate the early part of the week. By midweek, more workaday issues once again begin to emerge. Balance your time to give both the attention they need. LEO (July 23 to August 22) A new contact could provide an expanded opportunity. But be sure you get all the facts before you consider signing on. Ask questions, and be wary if you don’t get the right answers. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) An unexpected development could cause some supposedly resolved disagreements to reignite. Deal with the situation before it leads to some really serious problems. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A clash of work-linked viewpoints needs to be discussed openly, honestly and calmly by all concerned before it can impede progress on an ongoing project. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) The Scorpion’s pragmatic side helps you accept the possibility that a change of plans might be the wise thing to do. Be sure to weigh all your considerations carefully. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Some people might not take no for an answer. Never mind. Keep your resolve if you’re sure you don’t want to be involved in a potentially sticky situation. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) All other facts and figures aside, it’s what you learn about potential colleagues that can be most helpful in assessing any decisions you’re likely to make regarding a new project. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You might want to reconsider some of your outside commitments if they continue to demand more time than you can spare. Be honest with yourself when making a decision. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Pay attention to that inner voice of Piscean wisdom counseling you to remove those rose-colored glasses and take an honest look at any decisions you might face this week. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a penchant for persuasion that would make you a fine candidate for a political career. © 2015 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Rim Country boasts some of the most diverse and healthy riparian areas in the state, including miles of gloriously intact cottonwood and willow habitat along the banks of the East Verde River, just outside of Payson. These giant galleries of cottonwoods attended by thickets of willows once dominated riparian areas in the state. But more than 90 percent of the riparian areas in the lower-elevation areas of the state have been destroyed or degraded by a century of water diversions, introduced plants and flood control. That’s a potential tragedy for wildlife, since those riparian areas have the greatest diversity of species of plants and animals of anyplace north of the tropical rain forests. The giant, fast-growing trees also dominate lower Tonto Creek, Fossil Creek, Clear Creek and others. The massive poplars go glorious gold in the fall, and then shed their heart-shaped, quivering leaves in the winter to prevent frost damage. Waiting for the right combination of light and warmth, they awaken in the spring to unleash an outburst of luminous green leaves. These river-bound ribbons of green serve as the migratory highway for most North American songbirds and play a crucial role in the life cycle of hosts of animal and insect species. The loss of so many trees along so many streams has resulted in something of a genetic holocaust, according to startling research by an interdisciplinary team of scientists from Northern Arizona University. They discovered trees play a far more complex role in shaping thousands of other species than scientists ever imagined. The insight grew from an odd observation made 30 years ago by NAU Regent’s Professor Tom Whitham. He was studying aphids — tiny green insects that live by sucking the juice out of leaves and often doing great damage in the process. He noticed that aphids might cover one cottonwood, but not bother the cottonwood next door. He theorized that some genetic difference between the neighboring cottonwoods must account for the difference. Now an interdisciplinary team of scientists in NAU’s Cottonwood Ecology Group has completed an unprecedented genetic analysis of 81 genetically distinct cottonwoods. The study encompassed 700 distinct insect species, microbes in the soil, lichens on the trunks, fungi in the twigs, birds that feed on the insects. They even discovered that beavers pick the trees they want to chew through and cut down based on traits essential to the beaver — but mysterious to the rest of the cottonwood-loving world. This discovery means it isn’t enough to save the last few cottonwoods in some nature-preserve ark, for every tree creates its own world. It also means that scientists who study the genetics and variation of crucial “foundation species” like cottonwoods or beaver, are really studying the echoing transformations of thousands of related species. Something to think about, on a walk along the East Verde beneath the shimmer of cottonwood leaves.
