Buckhorn Museum

Mesa’s Iconic Buckhorn Baths SoldThe phone still rings in the old motel vestibule, even

though the neon lights of the Buckhorn Baths Motelflickered off more than a decade ago. Nearly twodecades have passed between the Buckhorn’s sale andthe closure of its famed baths in 1999. There was a timewhen the roadside motel was in its heyday, a boon forweary travelers who didn’t have the luxury of motoringwest on expansive freeways. Faded postcards sit in thickstacks set on a wire rack at the doorway. The cashregister accumulates dust. Room keys dangle on hooksbehind the front desk.

The owner and developers are taking stock of the1940s-era buildings and patchwork of kitschy relicsthey’ve acquired: a collection of taxidermy, whichoriginally boasted 450 pieces and was said to be the

Soup’s OnWhether it’s a hearty chowder

or a delicate broth, a bowl ofsoup can warm you up on awinter day. During NationalSoup Month in January, takestock of these common types:

Chowder. This is a chunkysoup that often features piecesof seafood and vegetables.European fishermen introducedchowder to America, where itbecame a signature dish inNew England.

Bisque. Originating in France,bisque is a rich, creamy souptraditionally made withpureed shellfish.

Broth/Stock. The light liquidthat remains after cooking meatand vegetables in water and thenstraining it is called broth. Tocreate stock, meat or fish bonesare simmered to create aflavorful base for other recipes.

Cream. By itself or used as aningredient in casseroles andother dishes, this popular soupis made by adding cream to apureed vegetable or meat stock.Mushroom, tomato and chickenare classic varieties.

Consommé. This is a broth orstock that has been clarified,meaning all the tiny bits of foodused to create its flavor areremoved to create a clear,concentrated soup.

biggest in the state. Hallwayafter hallway in a maze-likebuilding that once housed thefamed mineral bath spa.Barracks originally moved to theproperty from Falcon Field.

And therein lies the challenge:Though the property isremarkable in all its retro glory,it’s also old. Portions of it, likethe tiny cottages wrappedaround the property, are indisrepair.

“We are trying to protect thehistorically significant elementsof the site,” the developer said.

The motel was added to theU.S. National Register ofHistoric Places in 2005. It’s anice designation, but doesn’tadd legal protection preventingchanges to the land or building,according to Vic Linoff, thepresident of the board ofdirectors for the MesaPreservation Foundation. Hewould like to see the spacecompletely restored to its oldglory. The new owner has beentalking to the city’s planningdirector and historicpreservation officer. Talks aboutpreservation are ongoing, butthere are no specific plans forthe property as of yet.

Mayor John Giles, too, wantsto see development breathe newlife into the area.

“It’s a big piece of property,very strategically located in apart of town that needs and canuse some new development,”

With every visit, the newowner discovers new details onthe property, like the jackalopein the corner.

“I will invite you back and I’dguess that you’ll experience whateverybody else does, which is,‘Oh my gosh, I didn’t see thatlast time,’ " he said.

Remember When:Wooden Sleds

For generations of children,the combination of a wintersnowfall and a nearby hill madefor a day of sledding fun. One ofthe most popular means ofriding the snowy slopes wasaboard a Flexible Flyer. Theiconic wooden sled with itseagle logo, red metal runnersand hardwood seat slats wasfamous for a revolutionaryfeature—a flexible front-endsteering bar that allowed therider to control their course.Created in 1899 by a New Jerseymanufacturer, millions of thesleds were sold up until the1980s.

March of the MummersThousands will be parading

through Philadelphia’s streets ina New Year’s Day tradition that’smore than a century old. TheMummers Parade is the oldestfolk parade in the country, firstheld in 1901, but the customdates back to ancient cultures inEgypt and Europe. Theparticipants, or mummers, aremembers of local clubs whowork throughout the year toprepare their lavish costumes,props and performances.

The Benefits ofDigital Games

Video and computer gamesare no longer just child’s play.Surveys say more than41 million Americans over theage of 50 play video gamesregularly, with 40 percentplaying daily. While these typesof games are entertaining,research shows they offer otherbenefits, too.

A variety of digital games,from puzzles and word games torole-playing adventures, engagethe brain by using skills such asmultitasking, memory andhand-eye coordination. Withregular play, these brainfunctions can become sharper.

Some games can provide

physical exercise as well. Mostof today’s popular gamingconsoles offer games that requireplayers to move their bodies totake part in virtual versions ofsports and activities, providingcardiovascular benefits andhelping improve balance.

Digital gaming also helpsseniors stay socially engaged.Much like bridge and bingo,gaming get-togethers offer good-natured competition withfriends and neighbors.

The NFL’s Pro BowlOn the weekend before the

Super Bowl, the NFL’s topplayers take the field for thePro Bowl, a faceoff between theleague’s two conferences, theAFC and the NFC.

The Pro Bowl tradition kickedoff in 1939 with a showdownbetween that year’s leaguechampions, the New YorkGiants, and a team of all-starsselected by players and coaches.The game followed a similarformat for the next few years,

until World War II called atimeout on the event.

When the competitionresumed in 1951, it featured twoall-star teams representing eachconference. The game has beenplayed every year since then.Coaches, players and fans nowcast votes for the teams’ rosters.

The Pro Bowl used to takeplace after the Super Bowl, butin 2010, organizers moved it tothe week before the big gameto draw more TV viewers. Toprevent injuries, players whoseteams are in the Super Bowl donot compete, and special rulesof play have been enacted toprotect the participating players.

This year’s Pro Bowl is Jan. 28in Orlando, Fla.

“Frank’s Health Talk”“Understanding Inflammation”

Before we begin dumpingeverything bad oninflammation, one needs tounderstand what it is and whatrole its intended to serve in ourbody. Simply put, inflammationis a gathering of our immunetroops to do battle and preventan infection, fight off a bacteriaor virus, and/or help the bodyheal. The problem is thatinflammation, like a fire, is veryuseful. It is when the fire getsout of control or burns where itshouldn’t that it becomes anissue, even life-threatening.

The leading cause ofinflammation include themassive consumption of sugarsand refined carbohydrates,highly heated refined vegetableoils, too little exercise, obesity,chronic stress and the “modern”widespread use of toxins used intoday’s processed foods andbeverages. This has resulted inan immune system that isconstantly ”on.” If a haywireinflammatory takes place inyour joints, we label it“osteoarthritis.” If it takes placein your cardiovascular system, itbecomes “heart disease” or“arthrosclerosis.”

Our current food industry isbuilt on a foundation ofpre-packaged foods marketed inthe form of refinedcarbohydrates and sugar. Thesefoods are highly glycemic innature and when digested causea rapid release of blood sugar.

The average Americanconsumes an astounding two tothree pounds of sugar “perweek,” and still we wonder whyobesity rates soar and diabetes isat an all-time high. The annualsugar consumption of theaverage person today is morethan the weight of the averagefemale in America. Give that amoment’s pause. Many peoplethink their weight or obesity isfrom fat alone, but what you seein the mirror is from fluidretention and inflammation,especially around the middle,settling in on the body’s organs.Another primary reason of thisswelling is inflammation withinthe digestive tract, further beingfed with the continualconsumption of “modern”processed foods. Fundamentallythough, it is all inflammation.

This is just another reason toattend the monthly “Nutritionand Health” classes. That ounceof prevention can go a long wayto better health.

God bless and have a HappyNew Year. Until next month’spublication. – Frank
