The first item to consider for your trip crisscrossed trails.

If museums are of interest to you there south is where to stay — if you want to make a long weekend of it. My favorite location in are more than a few here. The Musical the Valley for several reasons is Scottsdale. Instrument Museum is ranked No. 1 of We have family there, but even if we didn’t, 90 attractions in the Phoenix area. The

idea of a musical instrument museum may sound stuffy — it is anything but that. It features musical instruments from all over the world. These are in various sections spread over two floors and it will capture your interest even if music is not your thing.

There is also a very fine 300-seat theater that schedules various programs featuring music. You can consult the museum online for the programs and dates of performance.

The museum is very close to the Phoenix Mayo Clinic.

The Heard Museum located on Central Avenue features American Indian Works and is known throughout the United States for its wonderful collection.

The Children’s Museum of Phoenix is actually interesting to all age groups. This would be a good afternoon attraction.

The Hall of Flame Museum of Firefighting is the world’s largest firefighting museum, which chronicles the history of the profession and commemorates fallen firefighters.

It features great exhibits and many find it most interesting.

The Phoenix Art Museum is one of the largest art museums in the Southwest and houses a permanent collection of some 16,000 works of art. Give yourself some time to appreciate this fine collection.

You might find the Wells Fargo History Museum interesting. It is small, but will offer some important history of the Old West.

The Arizona Military Museum is interesting and many find it a worthwhile trip.

The Rosson House Museum is a beautifully restored Victorian house. It is also a treasure trove of actual items used in the early 1900s. You will see items from children’s toys to classic furniture, lamps and paintings.

The Pueblo Grande Museum explores the ancient heart of Phoenix located on a 1,500-year-old archaeological site left by the local people of a past age. Some people describe it as a “hidden gem.”

The Phoenix Police Museum is interesting to many. Give it a try.

The Desert Botanical Garden is very pretty and worth the visit. It is located in Papago Park and specializes in desert flora.

The Wrigley Mansion is appreciated by those who might enjoy lunch at the mansion.

Often on your way to Sky Harbor Airport you pass by the Tovrea Castle at Carraro Heights. It is supposed to be open, but call to inquire if this is so. It looks as though this might be most interesting.

The Phoenix Zoo is very fine and best seen during this season of the year. Be prepared for considerable walking.

The Arizona Science Center holds interest for almost everyone. You won’t be disappointed if you attend. It will enlighten all. It houses over 300 hands-on exhibits that will keep you involved.

We often spend a weekend in the Valley around an entertainment event then build other attractions to go around that. You might try this also. It really works!

CENTERPIECE WORTH CELEBRATING

A stunning main dish is the centerpiece of any holiday meal, and a pork crown roast can lend an extra special touch to this year’s celebration. Find main dishes, sides and desserts, as well as a variety of holiday meal packages to fit any size gathering, at OmahaSteaks.com.

PORK CROWN ROAST WITH GARLIC HERB RUB

HARNESS HOLIDAY INDULGING

The hustle and bustle of the holiday season — from office parties to family gatherings — often leads to over-indulging and deviating from a healthy lifestyle; luckily, it’s still possible to enjoy many of your favorite holiday dishes while reducing carb and sugar intake.

And the numbers don’t lie — numerous studies show that low-carb eating can be a healthy lifestyle option for people who want to lose or maintain their weight. When you control your carbohydrate intake, you start burning stored fat as your fuel source instead of carbohydrates.

Low-carb eating results in more effective weight loss and better health markers, CONTINUED ON PAGE 8

Ode to Ice COVER STORY

Ever notice how your life turns on the most trivial detail?

Like how I wound up in Payson, thanks to long series of improbabilities, a mismatched job, a falling out with a publisher, a painful firing, a job ad I barely noticed, a connection in a job interview, a gamble born of desperation.

And suddenly, here I sat in a town I’d never noticed — in a life I’d never planned.

And it all turned on a flake of a fluke, drifting down into my life.

Like snow.

Like water.

Like ice.

So here’s a fluke for you: Water expands when it freezes.

Don’t seem like much. Like, what else would it do?

Well, if water behaved like most liquids — it would contract when it froze.

In which case, we wouldn’t be here — I wouldn’t have ever existed to notice the job ad to come to the banks of the East Verde River to ponder the marvelous contrary nature of water.

Here on the East Verde, in the chill of dawn, water gleams all around in all its forms still flowing in the stream, gathered in vapor on my breath, crystallized into snow on every hand, frozen into ice underfoot.

Water’s made of one molecule of hydrogen linked to two molecules of oxygen. These amiable molecular companions actually share electrons to keep everyone happy.

Moreover, a water molecule has a slight positive electrical charge at one end and a faint negative electrical charge at the other end. This accounts for the improbable chemistry of water, which made life on earth possible.

For starters, as water cools below 32 degrees F, the molecules slip into a strange and counter-intuitive crystalline lattice. Once they click into place, they actually take up about 9 percent more space than they did as a warm liquid.

But water’s odd insistence on expanding when it ought to contract makes ice lighter than water. So instead of sinking to the bottom of the stream, or the lake or the ocean, ice floats on the surface — where it actually insulates what lies beneath. If water contracted as it froze, then sea ice would form at the surface every winter and sink to the bottom. Over time, the oceans would freeze solid — and we could not be here.

We could go on and on about the fortunate strangeness of water. For instance, the positive and negative ends of water molecules account for surface tension — so useful to water skiers, stone-skippers and water bugs. But it also explains what’s called “capillary action,” which causes water to seep from wet areas to dry areas as when it soaks into a sponge or spreads out in a dry paper towel. More importantly, capillary action also allows water to creep up through the roots of plants in defiance of gravity — once more making life possible with a bit of chemical weirdness.

But for the moment, I’m focused on water’s frozen state — ice.

Kneeling in the snow, studying the translucent dreamscape of ice, I peer at a frond-like tracery of ice — a giant, white crystal shaped like a lacy fern, brilliant against the dark brooding of the clear ice on which it rests.

Frozen water from the sky comes in a bewilderment of forms.

Hailstones form when some speck of dust triggers the formation of an ice crystal, which then gets bounced around in a chilled storm cloud. The growing hailstone picks up fresh layers of ice as it rises to the top of the cloud and more yet when it hits an updraft and rises again.

Eventually, it grows heavy enough to ignore the updraft and falls to earth — with record hailstones weighing as much as a pound.

Tiny ice pellets — like the ones that have dusted my driveway — form when snowflakes drifting down from high in a freezing cloud fall through a warmer layer at an elevation between 5,000 and 10,000 feet, which causes

STORY AND PHOTOS BY PETER ALESHIRE ROUNDUP EDITOR

them to start to melt. But as their fall continues, they hit another layer of freezing air closer to the ground and refreeze — becoming ice pellets as round as a hailstone but nearly light as a snowflake.

But most often, frozen water falls as snow —water molecules that crystallize around some nucleus — like a speck of dust. The water molecules crystallize as they freeze, with the structure depending on the temperature and the moisture content.

Some assume exquisite six-sided shapes, some triangles, most with breathtaking symmetry. A single snowflake contains about 3 x 10 to the 13th water molecules — don’t ask me how much that is, except that it dwarfs a thousand trillion. That’s why no two snowflakes are ever exactly alike. The world’s largest measured snowflake was reportedly 15 inches across and fell in Montana in 1887.

The intricate crystal on the stream ice at my feet sug-

gests that it formed at between 0 and 10 degrees, which promotes the growth of these bizarre shapes.

Cautiously, I rise from my cold, wet knees and step out onto the ice, which is dangerously slick. Scientists used to confidently assert that ice is slippery because stepping on the ice instantly melts a microscopic layer.

Subsequent experiments demolished the theory, proving how little we know about even the simplest of things.

Instead, the leading theory now suggests that the top layer of ice molecules doesn’t get locked securely into the ice lattice, since it has only fickle air to bond to on the top. So a layer of molecules almost too thin to measure slides easily about, sending we clumsy monsters crashing to earth.

I stand, unsteadily, on the ice, to admire the gleam and the sparkle.

Underneath, the stream still trickles, making its stealthy CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

way to the sea — which covers 70 percent of the planet, just as water comprises 70 percent of my substance. I can see the water moving beneath the blurred patterns of the ice, which did not sink and murder the stream because it expanded when it froze.

The sky is highlighted with high white clouds the color of snow, which is the color of my breath. My heart pumps blood made mostly of water and the naked trees also made mostly of water lean in toward the stream, waiting patiently for the capillary action of spring.

So I sit and watch the ice turn back to water as the day warms.

My breath undergoes the opposite process — the warm water on my breath turning to a fog of frost in the chilly morning.

So I sit on the edge of a phase change — gas, to water to ice — the endless cycle, which makes it possible for me to sit on this edge, ready for the next phase.

CHICKEN PARMESAN WITH GARLIC SAUTEED BABY BROCCOLI

Preparation time: 10 minutes; cooking time: 30 minutes 20 ounces boneless, cooked chicken breasts salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided 15 ounces canned tomato sauce 1/2 teaspoon ground dried basil 1/4 teaspoon leaf oregano 1 teaspoon sucralose sweetener (sugar substitute) 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1 cup shredded whole milk mozzarella cheese 2 cups baby broccoli florets 1/2 teaspoon garlic Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Using meat mallet, pound out chicken breasts until they are about 1/4- to 1/2-inch thick. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and place into preheated skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons oil. Cook until brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side, then layer into 8-by-8-inch baking pan.

In small bowl, combine tomato sauce, basil, oregano, sucralose and Parmesan cheese. Mix with spoon and pour over chicken. Layer mozzarella on top and bake 25-30 minutes, until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly.

During last 10 minutes of cooking chicken, use same skillet to saute baby broccoli. Over medium-high heat, add garlic and broccoli to 2 remaining oil. Saute until broccoli is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately with chicken.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) At this time you might want to resist that otherwise admirable Aries penchant for getting to the heart of a matter quickly. Keep in mind that a delicate situation calls for patience.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your aspects favor more diplomacy and fewer direct confrontations when dealing with a relationship problem. Avoiding hurt feelings can help in your search for the truth.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Positive aspects are strong this week. Although you might still have to deal with some problems caused by a recent period of turmoil, you are making progress, and that’s what counts.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A family matter could benefit from your counsel. But don’t come into it unless invited, and don’t stay if you feel uneasy. Just remember to reassure one and all that you’ll be there for them.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) As the truth about an ongoing situation emerges, you could find that you were right to defer judgment before you had all the facts. Now would be a good time to move on to other matters.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Your plans to take control of a personal situation because you feel you are best qualified could create resentment. Best to hear what everyone else involved in the matter has to say about it.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Uncovering some surprising background facts about that ongoing personal matter could make you reconsider the extent of your involvement. A neutral family member offers advice.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Religious or spiritual themes start to dominate your aspect this week. This can serve as a counterweight to the mounting effects of the season’s growing commercialization.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Taking on that recent challenge impressed a lot of important decision-makers.

Meanwhile, proceed with your holiday plans, and don’t forget to include you-know-who in them.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Disagreeing with an opinion you can’t accept could be dicey, and your motives might be questioned. Best to wait to mount a challenge until you have support for your position.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Getting involved in helping others in this increasingly hectic period not only makes the generous Aquarian feel good, but you could also gain a more substantive benefit from your actions.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) The Piscean way of thinking clearly and objectively helps you resolve a complex situation without creating any ill will. Don’t be surprised if your counsel is requested on another matter.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of persuading people to look at the positive possibilities that make up any choices they might face.
