Historic Landmark. Located just minutes from downtown Scottsdale, Taliesin West is Frank Lloyd Wright’s desert masterpiece of 1937. Wright and his apprentices built an architectural wonder out of the stone and sand that surrounded them in the Sonoran desert on the foothills of McDowell Mountains. Many of those apprentices known as the “Fellowship” and who worked alongside Mr. Wright still live at Taliesin West, as do the current students and facility of the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture. Guests are fully welcomed into every room and space. You will see the Cabaret Theatre, Music Pavilion, Garden Room, Desert Shelters and Mr. Wright’s living quarters and private office. There are various tours you may purchase depending on your specific interest. I have visited this location at least twice and remain a Frank Lloyd Wright enthusiast. You will see architectural designs that remain popular today. The man was simply ahead of his time. It is located off Frank Lloyd Wright Blvd. in Scottsdale. You might enjoy visiting the Heard Museum on south Central Avenue in Phoenix. This facility is
unique in that the exhibits are mostly Southwestern including the Barry Goldwater collection of Kachina Dolls. In February the Museum sponsors the World Championship Hoop Dance Contest as well as the Indian Fair Market each March. The Desert Botanical Garden has one of the world’s finest collections of desert plants. It is one of only 44 botanical gardens accredited by the American Association of Museums. You will find here 50 acres of beautiful outdoor exhibits. Home to 139 rare, threatened and endangered plant species from around the world, there is no finer place to enjoy desert beauty than the Desert Botanical Garden. It is located in Papago Park in Central Phoenix. It also features special events throughout the year: Las Noches de las Luminarias continues throughout December and Chihuly in the Garden continues through May 18. This is an art exhibit intertwined with the botanical displays. Artist Dale Chihuly is credited with revolutionizing the Studio Glass movement and elevating the perception of the glass medium from craft to fine art. He is renowned for his
ambitious architectural installations around the world, in historic cities, museums and gardens. Another favorite of ours is the Musical Instrument Museum in north Phoenix. If you are a music lover, this place is for you. It’s a colorful and impressively designed museum for the musically inclined of all ages. You walk through two levels of displays with all kinds of musical instruments. The instruments are grouped according to their type: Pianos, organs, brass instruments, woodwind horns and so on. The displays are many in most cases. There is also a 300-seat, acoustically perfect theater on site into which various musical performers from classical to jazz are booked. Be sure to plan lunch at the museum’s cafeteria, which is one of the best you will find in the Valley. It is located just one block south of Highway 101 in northeast Phoenix. There is not another museum like this anywhere else in the world. The Deer Valley Rock Art Center is a wonderful attraction in the northwest part of Phoenix. This is the location of the Hedgpeth Hills petroglyphs site. There are more than 1,500 recorded petroglyphs on almost 600 boulders. Right near downtown Phoenix you’ll find a hidden treasure of harmony and tranquility. It is Ro Ho En, the Japanese Friendship Garden and Tea House. It is open now through next May. On December 13, 14, and 15 the Arizona Antique Market is in full swing. It attracts dealers who have an amazing variety of items from the 1800s and 1900s. You will find china, knick-knacks, household goods, jewelry, watches, vintage clothing, toys, books, and just about everything else. It will be located at 13802 N. Scottsdale Road, Ste. 142 in Scottsdale. Hours are: Friday from noon to 6 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. If this doesn’t satisfy you, try the Grand Canyon Railway package of two nights at their hotel in Williams and a day on the train to the south rim and back to Williams. The train is really fine with 1950s Budd streamlined equipment. The two-night package is priced at different levels depending on the month and dates you wish to travel. Phone 1800-THE-TRAIN. Have fun exploring the Valley’s many activities and theatre as well as other out-of-town venues.

Make the most of breakfast It’s easier than ever to provide great tasting, nutritious, affordable and ready-to-eat breakfast options for you and your family. Try these convenient tips to make sure you have a nutritious breakfast before everyone rushes out the door. “Cereal is a convenient way for busy families to start the morning,” said Lisa Sanders, Ph.D., registered dietitian and director of Global Nutrition and Scientific Affairs at Kellogg. “In fact, nine out of 10 moms agree that cereal is a convenient breakfast choice. In addition, research shows sharing three or more family meals per week can help children have healthier eating habits.” Here are simple ways to fit a cereal breakfast into your day: • Fill the pantry with quick options. For the many busy families who feel they don’t have time for breakfast, choose a convenient breakfast option. Try stocking up on fresh fruit and ready-to-eat cereals. Almost everyone can make a bowl of cereal. It’s a great way to get kids involved during family breakfasts. For families with milk allergies or those who prefer nondairy options, give cereal an extra boost of nutritious flavor by pairing it with almond or soy milk and fresh fruit. For more breakfast ideas, visit www.kelloggs.com. • Prepare the night before. Before you turn the lights off for bed, be ready for the next day with a virtual buffet of ready-to-eat breakfast options. Set out your cereal boxes, prepare hard-boiled eggs or slice fruit for a nutritious
meal. With preparation, you can eat quickly and get the nutrients you need to start your day. • Choose wholesome, nutrient-packed foods. In a world of fast food and large portion sizes, not all breakfasts are created equal. When grocery shopping, make sure the breakfast items you place in the cart are nutritious ones. The average calorie count for a bacon, eggs and toast breakfast is 309 calories, while a breakfast of skim milk and cereal is about 150 calories. And, for 150 calories, cereal and skim milk can provide a powerhouse of nutrients that you may not be getting enough of, including fiber, calcium, vitamin D and potassium. Studies also show that children and adults who eat cereal regularly tend to have lower BMIs than those who do not. • Create new options. Choosing a cereal and milk breakfast is one of the easiest ways to get nutrients to help start to the day. For variety, try some of the simple suggestions below; mix and match to fit your family’s tastes: – Whole grain, higher fiber cereal + yogurt + mixed berries = breakfast parfait – Whole grain, higher fiber cereal + Ricotta cheese + nuts, raisins & cinnamon = mid-morning protein snack “Starting your day with a cereal breakfast is one of the smartest things you can do,” said Sanders, the author of numerous studies examining the nutritive benefits of cereal and fiber. “People who regularly eat cereal for breakfast also tend to have higher nutrient intakes and CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

By that time an airlift of hay to cattle around the state was in progress. Back in Payson, the Beeline Café was a hub for people who had come to town trying to help
people dig out from the storm. Power was out in Payson for long periods of time. In the a January 30, 1968 Arizona Mobile Citizen article Payson resident Ralph Fisher referenced outages lasting 30 and 52 hours. The December 19 edition of the Arizona Republic had this to say about Payson’s plight.
“Gila County sheriff’s officers fear for residents in resort area 20 miles north. May take weeks to open back roads where many elderly retirees are stranded. Groceries are being hauled into isolated sections. The area is low on butane fuel, but electricity, out in spots for up to three days, restored. Two of Payson’s three fire engines are pinned under a collapsed fire station roof and officials are concerned over the new high school gymnasium, where the ceiling has cracked under 3 feet of snow.” The storms started tapering off around December 19, a day that saw Payson receive just three inches of snow. But a new concern emerged in the deserts to the south: flooding. The December 22, Arizona Republic carried a headline of “Floods Add to Storm Woes.” And while the storms had let up, there was a still a lot of snow on the ground in Payson – nearly two feet on Christmas Day. It would be a while before life returned to normal in Payson.

A healthy breakfast and a healthy weight
If you think skipping breakfast will help you maintain a healthy weight, you might want to think again. In fact, MyPlate (the government’s latest nutrition guidelines) recommendations include starting the day with a good breakfast: Eat a breakfast that helps you meet your food group needs. People who skip break-

fast often weigh more. Eating a nutrientdense breakfast may help you lose weight and keep it off. By choosing a balanced breakfast, you can get off to the right start, and fill in the gaps in food groups likely to be missing in your diet. Milk is a perfect breakfast complement, yet more than 8 out of 10 Americans still fall short of the recommended milk servings each day. CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

COVER STORY | MICHELE NELSON

One aspect of trail improvement involves moving large rocks and smoothing over ruts that are washed out and overgrown.
Accessing the Rim’s beauty Volunteers build, improve area trails The Pine-Strawberry Fuel Reduction Committee (PSFR) aims to open up the countryside around its towns by building trials. “Ultimately, we want to build a trail system that connects the Fossil Creek Trail with the Tonto Natural Bridge,” said Mike Brandt, who along with his wife Janet, anchors the trail building crews. The Rim Country has more lakes, streams, and beautiful destinations than many places in Arizona, and the towns of Pine and Strawberry have some of the most stunning pine forests in the state. Unfortunately, many of the trails in the area lack signs, have difficult entry points, large rocks and ruts or
are washed out and overgrown. The PSFR decided to create trails for folks to enjoy with the added bonus they will bring economic activity to the area and more money to invest in protecting their communities through fuel breaks. Mike works as a captain in the Pine Fire Department and so has a strong interest in fire protection. He’s also a mountain biker and hiker who loves the outdoors. Janet is a volunteer coordinator extraordinaire. She says she has a list of 60 volunteers she manages and more volunteers come from the Fire on the Rim and PSFR Web sites. The committee hopes to create trails that appeal to hikers of all abilities. “We’ll have a system of loops, like a ski resort does,” said Mike. Ski resorts have beginner, intermediate and advanced ski runs color-coded and clearly marked. CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

Trail work a fire defense FROM PAGE 6
It has taken two years of planning and filing NEPA studies with the Forest Service for the Fuel Reduction Committee to reach this point. “If you go to www.fireontherim.com and click on the trail work tab you’ll find a map of the project we’re working on now - the new Bearfoot Trail,” said Janet, “It has several reroutes of the Pine Canyon Trail and a loop trail from Pine Trailhead, including new signage. We will also have a large sign along the trail in the fuel break explaining the basics of fuel reduction and how the fuel break works.” For the committee, making Pine and Strawberry as safe from wildfire as possible is the name of the game. But, they thought, why not have fun at the same time? And fun they have. Usually trail work starts at 8 a.m. and finishes by noon, but during the colder winter months the group waits until 9 a.m. to start to allow temperatures to warm up. Often the trail work volunteers keep the good times rolling by heading over to That Brewery for a local brew and to talk about the day’s successes at the end of the day. Once a month, the group serves a filling lunch at the trailhead for all volunteers that worked for the day. The Bearfoot trail is far from being finished however, because the organizers are building it according to the International Mountain Bike Association (IMBA) standards. The trails follow the edge of the fuel reduction efforts by the Forest Service — piles of cut brush and trees line the route. “We have purchased wax paper to wrap the piles in,” said Janet, “Once snow covers the hillsides, then
BEFORE
the wax paper can be removed and the pile burned.” The Fuel Reduction Committee understands that the trails it is building help the economy of the community, but they also help fuel reduction efforts. The trails will be open all year to hikers, but once a year, mountain bike racers will tear them up during the Fire on the Rim mountain bike race. For more information, or to sign up to volunteer, please go to: http://psfuelreduc–tion.org. Volunteers of Outdoor Arizona (VOAZ) are working on the opposite side of the Rim VOAZ Director Michael Baker has started to upgrade the Highline Trail between See Canyon and the Fish Hatchery. His organization is located in Phoenix, but he appreciates the unique beauty of the area. “Our interest was, No. 1, the proximity to the Valley, and two, the spectacular location of the trail and its importance in economic development,” he said. Already, VOAZ volunteers have upgraded the Horton and Derrick trails by sprucing up the entry points and rerouting parts that have washed out. If interested in volunteering, either on the Highline Trail project or on projects around the state, please visit the VOAZ website and sign up at: http://www.voaz.org/newlogin.aspx. WHAT MAKES A GREAT TRAIL?
• 10 percent should be the greatest grade of a trail. • No. 1 concern when building a trial? Water runoff. • A great trail is anchored in nature. • Successful trails are designed to reduce user conflicts – hikers vs. mountain bikers, horseback riders vs. ATV riders – a good trail serves them all. • Sustainable trails can survive neglect, have minimal impact on the surrounding area, reduce soil loss, serve user needs and are a priority for the entities (public or private) that own the land.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might be busier than you had expected right now. But between the socializing rounds and the workplace tasks, there are opportunities for special moments with that certain someone. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your creative approach leads to a quicker-than-expected solution to a workplace problem. Now you can devote more time to that proposal you hope to introduce by midmonth. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Technological glitches create problems early on. But by midweek, all runs smoothly once again, and you’re well and truly on your way to meeting all your deadlines. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your energy levels are high, and you feel you can handle everything that comes along. But try to take a break from your hectic pace for some quiet time with someone close to you. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Before you pounce on that shiny new opportunity, take more time to check it out to see how much substance actually lies beneath all that glitter. A family member has important news. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) A personal situation you thought was resolved resurfaces, thanks to a possibly well-intentioned move that went awry. Deal with it as soon as possible. Accept the help of a trusted friend. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) That goal you set way back when is finally in sight. Maintain your focus on achieving it, and don’t allow yourself to be distracted by unimportant demands for your attention. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) A temperamental flare-up creates negative feelings that need to be dealt with immediately. But things once again go well after the apologies are made and hurt feelings are soothed. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) An early impulsive act causes confusion. But all is smoothed over once explanations are made. Expect a friend or family member to ask for your kind and always wise advice. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You might have to do some juggling of your priorities, as a personal matter appears to require more time and attention. Put your pride aside and accept help from those who offer it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Your creative aspect is strong. Not only does it help you accomplish your goals, but it also inspires others. This could lead to a potentially rewarding collaboration opportunity. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Be careful about making major decisions when you’re not really committed to them. And resist any pressure to do otherwise. Better to delay action until all doubts are resolved. BORN THIS WEEK: You set goals and are rarely distracted by any attempt to move you off the path you’ve chosen to reach them. © 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

Breakfast tips FROM PAGE 5
Milk is packed with nine essential nutrients, including eight grams of high-quality protein. Along with building muscle and keeping bones strong, protein at breakfast can help you feel full and satisfied so you won’t feel hungry by mid-morning, which will help people stick to their weight management plan.

Add mushrooms, bell pepper, and zucchini, and sauté until vegetables soften slightly, about 3 minutes. Add marinara and simmer to heat through. Reduce heat to low and keep warm.

Add sausage, onion, red pepper, and sweet potato and cook, covered, stirring often, until vegetables are tender (test a chunk of sweet potato to be sure).
