TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS
VACATIONING IN ITALY
Most of us love Italian cooking. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to taste it in authentic surroundings? There are many variations in flavors as you travel from north to south — just as there are in the United States. The weather of Italy also varies from the Lake Como area in the northern region, which borders Switzerland, to the southern tip, surrounded by the mild Mediterranean Sea. There is so much history surrounding this country that it could fill several history books. Going back to the Roman era more than 2500 years we can still KEN BROOKS walk among and photograph the ruins left by earlier civilizations. We are all aware of those that remain in Rome as well as Florence, Venice, Milan and many more. Often, on the first visit to Italy most of us book an organized tour, which will treat us to the important cities of the past — Venice, Florence, Naples and Rome. The first time I was there was during a summer college student tour in the late 1950s. I have been lucky enough to visit Italy several times since — most recently last year. Times change, but the major historical areas remain the same. The college tour spent the entire summer in Europe, with time in Paris for a short course in international law at the City University. We visited all the major countries in Europe at this time and I can say with all honesty that Italy stood out as my favorite. And, it still does. On each visit I make an effort to sample the cuisine of both the large and small restaurants in each town and city visited. I really do not have a favorite area in Italy; it all stands out with various points of interest. The high points for me are: Rome, Venice, Florence, Sorrento, and the Lake Como area. Lake Como is in the far north of the country, next to the beauty of Switzerland. This is where the villas overlooking the lake are found and signs of great wealth and luxury are everywhere. Famous persons have homes here now as well as the famous of
yesteryear. If you can, book sightseeing cruise on the lake from which you can view the beauty of the area as well as see where famous people have homes. Rome is probably the most famous Italian city known the world over for many reasons. It is still the capital of Italy and has been for more than 2,000 years. You can stand at several hillside viewing points to view and photograph The Eternal City with the Coliseum and several other major old city ruins. Rome now claims more than 4 million residents and is the fifth largest city in the European Union. Don’t plan to rent a car and drive yourself here. The traffic is crazy and I don’t know why there aren’t more accidents. If you want a private tour, hire a limo with driver to take you around. He will find a good place to park the car and stay with it while you sightsee. We did this last year and were able to relax without the worries of driving in the traffic and parking. Of course, Vatican City is located in the heart of Rome and if you are interested, book an escorted tour. It’s worth the money. Wear comfortable walking shoes. There will be a lot of walking, but the sights are memorable even if you are not a Roman Catholic. I recommend taking an escorted tour, which will take you to the major points of interest if you will not be using a private limo. There is something to photograph around almost every corner of a sightseeing tour. Make sure you have ample camera batteries on hand. If you are on a guided tour, it will certainly include Florence. Located half way down the “finger of Italy” and north of Rome this city claims over 380,000 citizens and it is the capital of Tuscany and the province of Florence. This will be one of the most important cities you visit. It is famous for a soaring cathedral, Michelangelo’s David, and the final resting place of Dante and Galileo, Machiavelli and other Italian luminaries. You can walk and photograph the famous Ponte Vecchio Bridge and shop for jewelry. Not far away is Pisa to visit the famous Leaning Tower. And I had some of the best pizza I have ever enjoyed was here last year. Venice is a city in northwestern Italy situated on a group of 118 small islands sepa-

rated by canals and linked by bridges. It is located in the marshy Venetian Lagoon, which stretches along the shoreline between the Po and Piave Rivers. It is renowned for the beauty of its setting, its architecture and artworks. Venice in its entirety is listed as a World Heritage Site. I know you have seen photographs of this unique city, but they can’t really do it justice. There are cathedrals to view, museums and a famous glass factory to examine and purchase items. Your guide will give you all the important information you require to fully enjoy this special city. Personally, I like to walk the streets and cross the many bridges of Venice and a cruise on the canals is a memorable event especially the Grand Canal. Many important and famous people have owned villas on the Grand Canal. Some people book Mediterranean cruises that begin and end in Venice to allow a few days for sightseeing and shopping. Naples is fascinating in the south as is the famed Amalfi drive and the lost city of Pompeii. Both are musts on your first visit to Italy. Pompeii as you remember was buried by lava and ash a couple thousand

years ago when Mount Vesuvius erupted. It has been extensively excavated and you can now walk the ancient streets to observe the homes and other buildings of an ancient time. You will find this very educational. Did you know the Italians here had piped warm water to their homes? A tour around the Bay of Naples is another interesting excursion. Sicily, in the southern region, is an island close to the body of Italy and is now part of Italy. If your tour includes this region you will also enjoy the food. It’s a little different than that found in other areas of the country. Genoa and Milan are situated in the more northern part of Italy. The weather is cooler and the dress code is a little more formal. Genoa is known as the major seaport for this region and a couple of famous marine museums may interest you. Close by and to the western portion of the seacoast is known as the Italian Riviera. Fine small towns dot the area with its share of summer tourists getting suntans. A little further west is the Principality of Monaco. Milan is known for great shopping and music. The opera here is world renowned as are works of art and cathedrals. When to visit Italy? Of course, the summer begets many thousands of tourists from all over the world. You will notice the crowds mostly in Rome, Venice and Florence. I last traveled to Italy in early November of last year and found the daily temperatures in the 60s. Great for walking and sightseeing. Most of the tourists had gone home and it was uncrowded. Be aware that the shops in Italy no longer want to be paid in U.S. dollars. They now want Euros. You can get money exchanged at the airport bank before flying overseas. Don’t forget, British Airways provides a non-stop flight most days of the week direct from Phoenix to London where you can perhaps overnight then fly on to Italy the next day. Have fun planning your Italian visit and consider a conducted tour if this will be your first visit to Italy. You might also wish to book a Mediterranean cruise from Rome or Venice for a seven to twelve days before returning home.

CHARACTERS BELOW THE RIM
CHAPTER 9: EMER AND MARGARET CHILSON – THE EARLY YEARS
The Chilson family story begins in Vermont and Maine where a man named Emer Chilson married Mary Ann Osgood in 1824. They were the parents of Rim Country pioneer Emer L. Chilson, and their family migration West can be traced by the birthplaces of their children. Immediately after they were married they settled for a time in the Chicago area where they had five children. Their first was named Stephen L. Chilson; their fifth child was named Emer Lafayette Chilson, born in 1841 in Cook County, Ill. By the time their sixth child was born, March 18, 1854, Emer and Mary Ann had arrived in Burleson County, Texas. [1] That child was given a name that also would become well known in the Rim Country, Napoleon Bonaparte Chilson, later nicknamed “Poley”. The most authentic record of the Chilson family in the Payson area comes from a memoir by Emer Layfayette Chilson’s wife Margaret, which she dictated to her daughter Bessie Chilson Carpenter in 1933. [2] Margaret was born Feb. 16, 1851 in Burleson County, Texas (on the south side of today’s Fort Worth), into the family of Elizabeth Cole and John Birchett. However, she was deprived of her parents when her father died before she was born and her mother died when she was not yet three years old. She and her siblings were raised by their maternal grandparents, Sampson and Vina Cole. When Margaret was 8 years old, her grandparents moved 130 miles southwest of Burleson to San Saba County, which, she reported, “was on the frontier and the Comanche Indians were bad.” She had good reason for such a report because once her grandfather was ambushed, shot by the Indians and later recovered. They had horses and cattle wounded or stolen and “my youngest brother and I walked three miles to school and had to carry a gun on account of Indians.”
A couple of years later the Civil War was around Globe, Ariz. had reached the under way and families were enduring even Chilsons. Emer realized that to open a store more hardships. “We had to card and spin there would be a sure bet and so he packed and make our own clothes and clothes for up the family and they moved to Arizona, arthe boys at war… We had plenty of food as riving in July 1878. we raised everything and had plenty of catThe mill for the gold and silver ore was to tle, sheep and hogs.

When word old, word of the large mining operations came about the gold strikes around Payson
the business-minded Emer took his family in 1880 to a community of prospectors being established west of Payson. A second Chilson store was erected there, and immediately did a good business since it was the only source of supplies for miles around. When the community became large enough to need a name, the Chilsons were successful in attaching the name Marysville to common usage. It was named for their fourth child, Mary Margaret. The Marysville store had a short tenure, because in 1882 about 100 Apaches broke from the White Mountain and San Carlos reservations, leaving a trail of burning houses, stolen livestock and murdered ranchers across the Tonto Basin and under the Mogollon Rim. Cavalry converged from three directions to fight the renegades in the last pitched battle of the Indian War, the Battle of Big Dry Wash. When word reached Marysville about the outbreak Emer and Margaret traveled the 80 miles back to Miami for safety. NEXT: The Chilsons’ later years NOTES
[1] Much confusion has come from the fact that, according to Federal Census and county tax records, there were actually three men named Emer Chilson, all born in Texas and all migrated to California. By the 1880s one of them was still in California and two were in Arizona. Two of the men carried the initials E. E. – Emer E. Chilson, and they were both born in 1851 or 1852. Sorting out their lives has been a challenge, but the difference in a middle initial. We follow the life of Emer L. Chilson. [2] A copy of this is in both the Rim Country Museum library and on the “Roots Web” pages of Ancestry.com. [3] Since relatives preceded Emer to Gila County this may have been how he learned about Globe.

Then Jesus turned, and seeing them following Him, He said to them, ‘What do you seek?’ They said to Him, ‘Rabbi’ (which is to say, when translated, Teacher), ‘where are You staying?’ Jesus said to them, “COME AND SEE!” They came and saw where He was staying, and remained with Him that day…” John chapter One Jesus noticing that others are following and seeking Him affirms them to COME!

Expect to see a totally new side to the tremendous talents of the Payson Choral Society’s members when they bring a stage production of “A Christmas Carol” to the stage of the PHS auditorium. There will be three performances: 1 p.m. and 7 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 13 and 2 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 14.
A Christmas Carol Choral Society ventures into realm of musical stage production This year’s Christmas Concert by the Payson Choral Society will not be an ordinary concert. The group is presenting the musical stage presentation of Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.” This is the British stage production and the Payson Choral Society’s first venture into musical theatre – though it is not an allout musical. Members will still perform as a chorus and in ensembles, but others will take center stage as the familiar characters in this 171-year-old story. Bing Brown, one of the least “Scroogelike” folks you will ever meet has the lead as Ebenezer. Noble Collins gives voice to Dickens as narrator. And there are plenty more Payson Choral Society veterans in the spotlight, as well as newcomers to the group, which has been providing wonderful music to the Rim Country for decades. To make sure everyone has an opportunity to enjoy this rare treat, there will be an additional performance on Sunday afternoon. Performances are at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 12 and at 2 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 14. All presentations are in the auditorium at Payson High School. Concert tickets are $10 at the door or $8 if purchased in advance from any member of the Payson Choral Society or at the Payson Public Library, 328 N. McLane Road in Rumsey Park. Children and students up to age 18 are admitted free with an adult. Proceeds from the concerts provide mu-
sical scholarships to middle school and high school students. These are awarded each year at the spring concert. For added information call John Landino, (928) 468-0023. ABOUT CHARLES DICKENS AND ‘A CHRISTMAS CAROL’
“Heaven and Christmas be praised for this! I have endeavoured in this Ghostly little book, to raise the Ghost of an Idea, which shall not put my readers out of humour with themselves, with each other, with the season, or with me. May it haunt their houses pleasantly, and no one wish to lay it. Their faithful Friend and Servant, Charles Dickens, December, 1843.” For many around the world, Christmas isn’t Christmas without revisiting the wellloved tale of the penny-pinching miser, Ebenezer Scrooge and the awakening of his long-forgotten festive spirit. Written in the latter months of 1843, over a period of just a few weeks Charles Dickens, created one of his most affecting and universal novels, “A Christmas Carol”. This ghostly tale of the Past, Present and Future is brought to life in this exciting new musical adaptation. Keeping true to the original text, it draws upon the themes of time, family and society’s ills to warm even the coldest of hearts. When the spirit of Jacob Marley, his former partner, tells Scrooge he must know his responsibilities, Scrooge is taken on a very busy night to show him the error of his ways. With the Ghost of Christmas Past illustrating the importance of family and friends, Christmas Present representing charity and benevolence and Future bringing in its wake what should happen if all these lessons are forgotten, Scrooge becomes a changed man. “And it was always said of him, that he knew how to keep Christmas well, if any man alive possessed the knowledge. May that be truly said of us, and all of us!” Drawing strongly on the theme of time,
this adaptation shows that we must use our time wisely and understand that we have but a moment to make the right choices. With time ticking onward, Scrooge must make his life mean something before it is too late. When the bell tolls for Christmas Day, will he have the strength to change the man he has become over so many wasted years? Bringing the atmosphere of Victorian Christmas traditions to the stage, this vibrant and joyous musical takes you on a journey of discovery; a journey where the true meaning of Christmas is found. With a cavalcade of colorful Dickensian characters and a ghostly quartet of guardians, “A Christmas Carol” is the perfect way to get you into the Christmas spirit. Filled with joy, laughter and heartbreaking moments, this new adaptation has something for everyone, both young and old. ABOUT THE WRITER OF THE MUSICAL’S BOOK AND LYRICS

Piers Chater Robinson is the composer of musical adaptations of classical English stories, including an adaptation of JM Barrie’s Peter Pan.

In the past 20 years Peter Pan The British Musical has been produced professionally throughout Europe. Many of these professional productions have been directed by Piers. Piers has also advised on Peter Pan productions in Canada, Spain and Jersey. He has also written musical adaptations of Kenneth Grahame’s “The Adventures of Mr. Toad from The Wind in the Willows,” Lewis Carroll’s “Through the Looking Glass,” “A Christmas Carol” and a new musical adaptation of Jules Verne’s “Around the World in 80 Days.” Piers’ work has broken box office records in at least 10 theatres in the UK and Europe. His adaptations have been seen in every English speaking country worldwide and translated into many languages.

The invitation of Advent season FROM PAGE 5
the grave… the angel comforted the women in their sorrow and fear then immediately tells them to COME, to SEE as verification of the promises of Christ’s resurrection. Don’t just take my word for it. But COME! Not only were they to come and see, they were to go and tell others to come and see “But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.” So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word.” Matthew 28:1-8 FUTURE HOPE
In Revelation, the last book of the Bible, the author John who walked with Christ, wrote his account in the gospels and was the last disciple to live, then die on earth, being resurrected and joining Christ in heaven… He concludes in Revelation, this glorious hope for each believer by encouraging them and anyone else within hearing and reading range to COME! In chapter 22: “And behold, I am coming soon. Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.” “Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.” The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.” He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! Jesus declares with much assurance that He is coming and is wanting others to come to Him! Sunday, Nov. 30 marked the first day of Advent season. Advent means the coming of Christ. The first advent is when he came as a baby in a manager, grew up on this earth for the purpose of saving people from their sins. The second coming of Christ is at the incarnation as judge on the last day. SOUNDING THE CALLS TO COME
Will you come and see? Jesus has personally invited you to investigate, know, and learn of Him. Lingering by remaining near Him. He has not just called those mentioned in the gospel of John. He has called YOU! COME! Will you believe in all the prophesies of Isaiah, following his voice of coming, partaking, drinking and feeding yourself on His word? It is FREE, no payment required just a willingness to COME! Will you listen to the voice of the angel who also spoke to Mary Magdalene, to COME, to SEE as verification of the promises of Christ’s resurrection? Then to go and tell others to come and see. The simple word of “come” is so powerful. The personal invitation is so honorable. During this Advent season that we are approaching would you consider the words of these eye witnesses Will you Come? Will you See? Will you Go? Will you Tell? ©Copyright 2014 Simone Lake. All Rights Reserved. © Copyright 2014 Deep Roots in Christ Ministries. All Rights Reserved ABOUT THE AUTHOR

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your love of the holidays creates a special bond between you and the people in your life. Use this as a way of building stronger relationships that will carry over well beyond this time. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A new approach could go a long way toward resolving a painful estrangement, especially at this holiday time. And since your aspects favor friendship this week, why not go ahead and try it? GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your positives continue to dominate, and any negative factors that squeeze in can be dealt with easily. The secret is to tackle them at once and not allow them to benefit by your neglect. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Good news: A colleague’s remarks could help you move toward ultimately resolving that persistent workplace situation. Meanwhile, enjoy the holidays with loved ones. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) No one reflects the bright holiday more than all you Leos and Leonas who love the shimmer and glimmer of the season. P.S.: There just might be a very special something from Santa. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Celebrate the holidays by being more receptive to new experiences. Overriding the Virgo reluctance to try new things could be the best gift you’ve given yourself in a long while. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Good news about a loved one makes the holidays even more festive. Expect some unexpected gifts, so be prepared with a few nicely wrapped packages of goodies to offer in return. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) The holiday season provides an opportunity to meet new people, some of whom you might even consider “worthy” enough to join the Scorpio’s select group of friends. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You always bring your own wonderful sparkle and light to the holidays, and don’t be surprised if this year someone special reaches out to respond to your warmth in kind. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Togetherness is the dominant theme for the Goat’s holiday celebrations this year. That means reaching out to bring everyone you care for into your very own special circle of light. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) A reminder of a very special moment from the past makes the holidays more memorable for the romantic Aquarian. New friendships hold the promise of a romantic future as well. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Getting into the swim of things for all you party-loving Pisceans is easy enough this holiday season. And, of course, you can expect to impress people wherever you go. BORN THIS WEEK: Your dedication brings you the success you strive for, and your generosity impels you to reach out and help others on their way up.
