TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS
RESORTS AND SPA VACATIONS Are you running out of gift ideas for your spouse for Christmas this year? Well, think about giving you both a resort and spa vacation. There are many throughout Arizona and Mexico that are highly rated and would make the holiday a rather different experience. None are really inexpensive, but you get a lot for your money. The accommodations are at the upper end of luxury and the service and cuisine will be a special treat. I always first recommend taking a cruise, but there are many who do not wish that experience for various reasons. Spa resorts differ KEN BROOKS a bit from one another and it is best to get details on the one or ones that seem interesting to you. We will list some in this article to assist in your search. Each has different settings and size and services. Greater detail and phone numbers are available on the Web. In beautiful Sedona there is L’Auberge de Sedona, which we have tried and you will find it quite charming and somewhat like a small hotel. The food is wonderful as is the service. Also in Sedona is the Amara Resort & Spa, which features lower rates and is close to downtown with fairly large rooms. This is not as luxurious as some, but you may enjoy what it offers. Consider the Mii amo Spa in Sedona. What makes this unique among health and wellness spas is the incredible variety of choices: fitness, wellness, stretching and yoga. There are cooking demonstrations as well as organic gardening. There is a vast array of outdoor activities including hiking trails with views of the gorgeous red rocks. The Boulders in Carefree is a little pricey, but very nice if you are looking for a luxury resort experience in a very quiet, natural setting. In Paradise Valley you will find JW Marriott Camelback Inn resort and spa. Many find this property lives up to its reputation: classy with fine service and food. In Paradise Valley is also Montelucia Resort and Spa. It is rated as a luxury resort with wide choices of activities. They say the pool and restaurants are all topnotch although a little pricy. This property is rated 5 stars. The Sanctuary Camelback Mountain in Paradise Valley is highly rated and is very luxurious with large rooms and wonderful amenities. As expected, Scottsdale offers more than just a few highly rated resorts and spas. The Phoenician is a standout property that really looks like its brochures. It features exceptional customer service and is located not far from the Fashion Mall and downtown Scottsdale. Close by is the Royal Palms Resort and Spa. Guests rave about the pool as well as all the other wonderful features of this property. Some say this is the best resort in Scottsdale. I know that when presidents visit Phoenix this is where they stay.
Metro Creative Services
Arizona has been blessed with a bounty of noted resorts and spas. A visit to any of them would make a memorable holiday gift for you and your spouse or other loved ones who would enjoy the ultimate in pampering.
The Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North is highly rated. It is said that the services are not cheap, but are worth the charges. It is very well run and you might even start your time in the spa with caviar. FireSky Resort & Spa is smaller than many, but has great service and food. This is a good place to relax. The Fairmont Scottsdale has good ranking with a fine pool, beautiful surroundings and luxury rooms. Guests say it has all a resort property should have. The Fairmont hotels are highly rated all over the world. The Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort and Spa at Gainey Ranch is ranked at the top of the list of Scottsdale resorts. The service is excellent, as are all the amenities found on the property. The Westin Kierland Resort and Spa has
a good rating for excellent service and a fine getaway resort. Perhaps also a good place to bring the kids. The Scottsdale Plaza Resort should be listed as an upscale boutique hotel. It has spacious rooms and a comfortable atmosphere. Next door to Scottsdale is Phoenix. One of the resorts there is the Arizona Biltmore Resort. This is a famous resort designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in an earlier era. It is perfectly maintained with nice accommodations and first-rate grounds. Many guests rave about this hotel. I am a Frank Lloyd Wright fan and this is one of the best spots to enjoy his artistry. JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa enjoys a 5-diamond rating and many guests recommend the resort to others. You decide for yourself. The Point Hilton Tapito Cliffs Resort in
Phoenix is considered a fine hotel with friendly service. It might not have a resort status, but it is well maintained and friendly. Check it out. You may remember the Wigwam Hotel in Litchfield Park. It continues to please many guests featuring old school luxury and relaxation. It is not 5-star, but it just may be the right choice for you. In Fountain Hills you will find the CopperWynd Resort and Club. This is a small hotel with great views of the desert and mountains. It has very nice accommodations and a fine dining room. We have stayed here and loved it. Tucson offers several outstanding resort hotels and spas. Among them is the famous Canyon Ranch. Here you can hike in the desert or on pine-topped mountains, play tennis, swim, refine your golf game, savor award-winning spa cuisine, enjoy lavish spa treatments and simply relax in the luxury. The Westin La Paloma Resort and Spa in Tucson is highly rated as is Loews Ventana Canyon property. One of these may be right for you. The Ventana Canyon has held top ratings for quite a few years, so be sure to look into this resort. Also in that area is the Hilton Tucson El Conquistador Golf and Tennis Resort. I have found the rates to be rather reasonable here in the past and may be right for you. The JW Marriott Star Pass Resort & Spa in Tucson is said to be a truly luxury hotel that caters to every need. Don’t forget the luxury resort and spas in Mexico. Consider Huatulco with wonderful beaches, water fun and fine accommodation. Also look into booking a fine resort in Cancun and any one of a dozen hotels there and also in Riviera Nayarit. Many enjoy fine resorts in Puerto Vallarta and other areas of the country. Remember, Mexico is the choice for many Americans, but also be aware of some of the dangers there. There are also very fine resorts in several of the Caribbean Islands as well as the Bahamas. Florida is loaded with wonderful resorts and spas and a bonus there are the entertainment parks in and around Orlando. The Florida Keys and West Coast also offer excellent resorts that may be just right for you. Some of these resorts cater to families during the holidays. Ask if there are many children expected over the Holidays when you inquire. The kids get in the pool and play loud games, which are not relaxing for adults. Also, inquire if the resort you are interested in has booked any entertainment for the holidays. Ask the resort if the rooms have patios or balconies. This makes for a private spot away from the other guests. Phone your travel agent and ask for assistance and knowledge of the resorts that interest you. They may have brochures and suggestions for you. We invite you and yours to have a wonderful holiday vacation.

FREE BIRDS
Mildly entertaining, but uninspired At their best, children’s animated films are magical, wonderful and iconic and can be enjoyed for generations. “Free Birds” might not rank at the top of the heap in this respect, but I found it mildly entertaining. Two turkeys stumble into a government experiment and get transported back to the time of the first Thanksgiving. The unlikely pair consists of a real turkey hero, a dim-witted, twodrumstick bird of action and a Casper Milquetoast intellectual type. They have the intention of reconfiguring the menu of the traditional holiday feast, thereby saving generations of turkeys from an early demise. They introduce pizza to the Pilgrims. We want an animated feature to have plenty of motion, color and sight gags for the wee ones to enjoy. We also appreciate the occasional adult reference for the grownups to enjoy. “Free Birds” supplies both, but in trickles in places where we want torrents. Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson supply the voices to the leading turkeys. We are also treated to the voice of George Takei as the combination time-machine/space ship. Takei, famous for his role as Mr. Sulu on “Star Trek,” must have had fun with this assignment. He does sound happy. Director Jimmy Hayward also directed the
magical, wonderful and iconic “Horton Hears a Who” of Dr. Seuss fame. He attempted, but failed to make a watchable film from the comic book derived “Jonah Hex,” a live action film. Haywood also cast himself as the voice of several characters. Having control of a film does deliver unexpected benefits. Hayward also takes a credit for writing the script. The little asides and jokes for the elder set are his gift to the grandfolks who sit through the one and a half-hour film with their descendents. All in all we take “Free Birds” as uninspired, just a time-filler for youngsters. It carries a mild PG rating, as innocuous as the rest of the film. One feature that might be objectionable to some viewers has the turkeys of the 17th century modeled on a Native American Indian tribe. Seeing turkeys done up in war paint might seem over the top to some people The producers provided a reported $55 million to create this decidedly lukewarm film. Thus far the effort has returned a lukewarm $42 million at the box office. The producers might well rue the day they green-lighted this project. Making good animated features is just as hard as making a good movie of any sort. This two saw blade film is a cautionary example. Take the wee ones, don’t expect much, eat popcorn.

head of Rye Creek, as the “English Lord” Duppa of Phoenix had given Rouse a map of rich placer diggings at that point, but found nothing that would pay. So concluded to go to the White mountains to the Adam’s diggings, dropped down as far as Clifton, a little Mexican village. No success, so returned to Tonto and discovered the “Golden Waif” mine which I had recorded and the first claim recorded in that section.” Rouse was a partner in the first recorded mine in the area. That alone is worth remembering. Yet he gets overshadowed quite a bit by House because of House’s longevity in the area. In the 1940s and 1950s as Payson started to grow, local medical treatment was a problem. The townspeople really had to search
to get a doctor to come and live in Payson. This clip from the January 11, 1956 Arizona Republic shows just how thankful folks were when a new doctor came to town. “Dr. Hardenbrook set up shop in a Payson house two months ago. His first days were filled with thank-yous from the townspeople. Since then, he has averaged from 7 to 25 patients per day.” Rain is always a welcome sight that people give thanks for. This February 21, 1901 Arizona Silver Belt clip reinforces that. “There is very little news to record here, as travel has been light owing to the almost impassable condition of the roads, especially that portion between Tonto and Salt river known as Eddy flat, and also between Oxbow and Payson. Nevertheless everybody
is thankful for the abundant rains which have fallen in this vicinity, and would like to see more, except, perhaps, the mail man, Mr. Harden, who has had to contend with many difficulties.” There has to be at least one Thanksgiving story right? Well, here you go with a clip from the November 29, 1900 Arizona Silver Belt. The Callaghan mentioned is likely James Callaghan who was a blacksmith in Payson. “Thanksgiving being near at hand, somebody evidently intends that not only due thanks shall be offered, but a “full dinner pail” shall be the result that day by careful attention to business during the week. Mr. Callaghan has lost by one night’s haul nine of his finest chickens, while Samuel Chilson lost his entire flock.”

The crimson promise of Christmas The color red is linked to Christmas is so many ways. Whether it is the bright red holly berries, elaborate and simple decorations or even our favorite delicious sweet treats, not only is red a primary color in its origin, but a primary color during this festive time of the year. Let’s take a look at this red crimson color from a Biblical view and see how this color was not only primary; it was a prominent and everlasting promise throughout all generations… this deep purplish crimson color of red WATER, BLOOD, BIRTH

Expect great entertainment in the coming weeks as both the Payson Christian Ministerial Fellowship and the Payson Choral Society present the always popular holiday concerts, “The Spirit of Christmas” and “Come On, It’s Christmas.” Both programs will be presented twice and held at the Payson High School Auditorium.
Season of fun and festivities Music, crafts, special events kick off month The hustle and bustle of the season adds a celebratory flavor to the holidays. That hustle and bustle explodes this weekend with a long list of craft fairs and one of the community’s most popular music programs. Start with a stop at the Payson Community Presbyterian Church between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m., Friday, Dec. 6. A $5 chili supper is planned (bring a can of food and eat for $4), accompanied by music provided by Cinnamon Twist. The Friday night fun launches the weekend’s “Mudhens” Railroad Display that will be operating in the lounge from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., admission is a can of food. The railroad
display will also be available for viewing from noon to 9 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 7. Coincidentally, the program planned by Cinnamon Twist will feature a hearty selection of train songs. The cans collected are for the Payson Area Food Drive.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Careful, Lamb. Don’t let your generous nature lead to some serious overspending as you contemplate your holiday gift-giving. Your social life kicks off into high gear by week’s end. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A positive attitude helps you weather annoying but unavoidable changes in holiday plans. Aspects favor new friendships and reinforcement of existing relationships. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Demands on your energy level could be much higher than usual as you prepare for the upcoming holidays. Be sure to pace yourself. Friends and family will be happy to help. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Don’t allow a suddenly icy reaction from a friend or family member to continue without learning what caused it — and what can be done to restore that once warm and caring relationship. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) A relationship seems to be unraveling, mostly from a lack of attention. It might be a good idea to ease up on whatever else you’re doing so you can spend more time working to mend it. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) New facts emerge that not only help explain the recent rift with a trusted colleague, but also might provide a chance to wipe the slate clean and make a fresh start in your friendship. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) A family member’s personal situation is, fortunately, resolved in time for you to get back into your hectic round of holiday preparations. An old friend might bring a new friend into your life. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Pace yourself in meeting holiday pressures and workplace demands to avoid winding up with a frayed temper and a Scorpian stinger that lashes out at puzzled kith, kin and colleagues. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) A financial matter requires close attention. Also, news from a trusted source provides the means to help sort out a long-standing state of confusion and put it into perspective. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a good time to reinforce family ties. Make it a priority to assess and resolve all outstanding problems. Start the upcoming holiday season with a full measure of love. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Don’t be pressured into a so-called solid-gold investment. Wait until the holiday distractions are over. Then take a harder look at it. You might find that the “gold” is starting to flake off. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) A former friend might be trying to heal the breach between you by using a mutual friend as an intermediary. Best advice: Keep an open mind despite any lingering bad feelings. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of saying the right thing at the right time. Your friendships are deep and lasting. © 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

The color of Christmas FROM PAGE 5
got up, took the Child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel. CHRIST IS CIRCUMCISED
The humanness of the holy God… Out of a overflowing abundance of love, grace and mercy, conformed Himself to His promise to His people and sealed it as a reminder through the act of circumcision. “And when eight days had passed, before His circumcision, His name was then called Jesus, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb. And when the days for their purification according to the law of Moses were completed, they brought Him up to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every firstborn male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord”), and to offer a sacrifice according to what was said in the Law of the Lord, ‘A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.’ “And there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel; and the Holy Spirit was upon him. And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. And he came in the Spirit into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to carry out for Him the custom of the Law, then he took Him into his arms, and blessed God, and said, “Now Lord, You are releasing Your bond-servant to depart in peace, according to Your word; For my eyes have seen Your salvation, which You have prepared in the presence of all peoples, a light of revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of Your people Israel.” - Luke 2: 21-32 GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST!
May the Jesus, who is the reason for this season, cut your heart for Him and fasten it tightly to His heart… Holding dear and displaying loudly the Promise that has come because of the crimsons of Christmas. ABOUT THE AUTHOR
