Try not to look like an American when traveling overseas. Try and blend in with the locals. Baseball caps and team shirts scream American!

Remember, if you travel anywhere outside the U.S. you need a passport. That will take 4 to 6 weeks. Your local post office will guide you as to where you can obtain these.

If you are flying overseas, call the airline and inquire what meals will be served aboard your flight. If there is no food service, you may wish to purchase some at the airport before departure and bring it aboard with you.

Before leaving home arrange for mail to be held at the post office. Call the newspapers and have them held for you until your return and notify the police department of the time you will be away.

I always change the outside night lights so they will not burn out while we are gone.

Clear out your refrigerator and turn down the heat and make sure all windows are closed and locked. I always turn down the blinds. Are the hoses turned completely off and is there a spare key left with a relative or neighbor in case there is a need to get access to your home while you are away?

If you are taking a land vacation in the States, your automobile trunk will decide how much you may take along. Same goes for a camping trip.

Wherever you travel to this winter, have a wonderful time.

HOLLYWOOD | TONY RIZZO

Damon back for next ‘Bourne’ film HOLLYWOOD -- What is the “Bourne” franchise without Matt Damon as Jason Bourne? “The Bourne Identity” cost $60 million and grossed $214 million.

“The Bourne Supremacy” cost $75 million and grossed $288 million. “The Bourne Ultimatum” cost $100 million and grossed $444 million. The fourth film in the franchise was “The Bourne Legacy,” made without Matt Damon and starring Jeremy Renner, who was not in the first three with Matt. It cost $125 million and grossed $276 million, quite a drop from the previous film.

Desperate times require drastic measures. The fifth “Bourne” film (as yet untitled) will not only have Damon back but will have him as a producer and a writer with Paul Greengrass. Julia Stiles and Tommy Lee Jones also are on board. They’ve already shot scenes outside Paddington Station in London and Washington, D.C., and are currently shooting in Las Vegas, causing the Vegas Strip to be closed down for up to 10 days. ***** We always knew Rocky Balboa would go on forever! Sylvester Stallone’s new “Rocky” film, “Creed,” cost $35 million to make and so far has taken in upward of $130 million. Still a far cry from the origi-

nal “Rocky” which cost $1.1 million back in 1976 and grossed $226 million. “There’s no doubt that we’re making a ‘Creed 2,’” says MGM CEO Gary Barber.

Stallone admits he’s already getting ready to step back into the ring for another sequel where he’ll play Rocky Balboa, and maybe even see Carl Weathers return as Apollo Creed. Stallone, now 69, has said he will not do “Rambo 5,” admitting, “the heart is willing but the body says stay home. It’s like fighters who go back for one more round and get clobbered.

If I can’t do better than the last time — and I can’t — then why?” ***** While standing at the West Hollywood Pavilion’s customer-service line, I noticed singer/songwriter Neil Sedaka, now 76 years old, standing behind me. He asked me, “Is this where I can buy a lottery ticket?” Even successful songwriters want to win the lottery! I asked if he was still making music, and he said, “I release an album every year for downloading on the Internet, but the music industry as we knew it is gone.” Then I spotted Charo coming into the store, and by the time I looked away from her, Neil Sedaka was gone.

JEEPIN’ IN RIM COUNTRY | CHUCK JACOBS

Retracing historic route offers an off-road adventure HISTORIC ROADS #3 – HEADING SOUTH, JAKE’S CORNER TO CANE SPRINGS

Today we have the third part of our series about the route the old-timers drove when they wanted to go to the Valley in the early 1950s. In the first two parts, we drove from Payson down to Rye and on to Jake’s Corner on what was then called the Globe Road, or the Payson-Globe Road. In this segment we will start south and west over the mountains on the Bush Highway.

Our trip for today begins at Jake’s Corner, and the old route headed northwest, paralleling the current Highway 188 along Hardt Creek. About a mile up the highway, and about halfway between Jake’s Corner and where the major power lines cross, there is a low point in the highway. Pull over on the right shoulder and stop at this point if traffic allows you to do so safely.

Look to your left (to the southwest) across the drainage, and you will see a smaller, unnamed drainage that comes down from the hills and joins Hardt Creek.

There are some bushes along the road that block your view, so you may have to move a little bit until you get past them, but just to the right of this small drainage you can see where the old route climbs to the southwest. It takes a sharp eye to spot it.

Since this section of the old route is no longer drivable, we’ll jump ahead to the next place where you can find it. Take Highway 188 back to Highway 87, and turn south. As you climb out of the valley in the southbound lanes, and just before you cross under the same major power lines we spoke of earlier, the old route can be seen climbing along the ridgeline just east of the current highway.

As you top the hill and pass through the large highway cut, the old route crosses above you

on the ridge overhead. On the other side, Highway 87 drops down through a small valley, before starting to climb again.

At the bottom of this valley, right near Milepost 233, turn off the highway to the right. Once across the right of way cattle guard, the road turns left again and a sign identifies it as Forest Road 177.

You are now on one of the most scenic and best preserved sections of the entire old Bush Highway route. The creek to your right is called Gold Creek, and the size of the valley and the creekbed shows that it drains a pretty large area of the Mazatzal Mountains. Take a minute to look at the size of the culverts where Gold Creek runs under Highway 87, they are designed to handle some serious water during storm season.

This area also shows the aftermath of the 2004 Willow Fire.

The upper reaches of the mountains were all burned, and much of the vegetation that you can see up there is grass and brush that has regrown since the fire. The lower slopes, where you are now driving, show the effects of firefighter burnout operations, intended to stop the main fire by removing the fuel ahead of it. It was much gentler on the land, leaving a mosaic of burned and unburned areas. The tactic was successful, and kept the monster fire from crossing Highway 87 and threatening the communications facilities on top of nearby Mount Ord. The road climbs out of the Gold Creek drainage, and as you cross over the ridgetop you find yourself next to the current highway, but higher up on the hillside.

This section has some excellent examples of the stonework built by the early road builders, as well as stunning views. Here is a good place to stop for a break, take some pictures, and spend a little

This view is from a drivable section of the old Bush Highway, now Forest Road 177, looking south down the current Highway 87 toward Mount Ord.

time just relaxing and watching the traffic speed by below.

As you drive a little farther down the hill, off to the southeast through a gap in the mountains you can see Tonto Basin and Roosevelt Lake. If the day is clear enough, you can even see the dual arches of the bridge at Roosevelt Dam. And right in front of you is the massive presence of Mount Ord, named after a two-star cavalry general, Major General Edward Otho Cresap Ord. Besides being a prominent landmark, the mountain’s 7,128-foot summit provides a perfect location for millions of dollars worth of vital communications facilities, as well as a fire lookout tower.

This section of the old Bush Highway is marked as Forest Road 177, and is one of the most scenic and best preserved stretches of the entire route.

The road up the mountain is another spectacular drive, but that is a story for another time.

Today, we’ll stay where we are.

At the bottom of this part of the hill, the road is washed out where it crosses a little canyon called Lion Canyon. You can see where the road continues on the other side, but the washout is impassible, so a sharp switchback turn takes you back to Highway 87. Be sure to shut the gate. On the highway, turn right (south), which is the only way you can go, as there is no crossover.

However, only stay on the highway for a short distance before getting off on Cane Springs Road (FR 177A), which takes you right back to the old route again. Now

the old road climbs up and away from Highway 87, and turns west into Cane Springs Canyon. At the mouth of the canyon, there is a flat spot with a decaying cement slab that was once a mining site, a small store, and an important source of water for early travelers.

It is here that we will end our trip for today. With a Jeep, you can cross the creek and follow the old route a couple of miles farther south, where it returns back to the current Highway 87 alignment, but this is a good place to take a break before heading back to the highway and finding your way back home.

Until next time ... Happy Jeepin’.

parents spend a significant amount of time with grandchildren. When the grandparents are in their 40s and 50s, the grandmother does most of the child care. But grandfathers become more prominent in their 60s and 70s — very often when they have a different partner than the mother of their children.

Another interesting piece of research from the journal of the North American Menopause Society found that women who take care of their grandchildren one day a week lower their risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and other cognitive disorders. The study tracked 186 women in Australia, all between the ages of 57 and 68. The study bolsters other findings suggesting women who remain socially engaged do better on tests of mental sharp-

ness. However, the benefit reversed itself if the women took care of their grandchildren more than five days a week. At that point, they did worse on tests of memory and mental processing.

Well, I’m definitely not in danger of an overdose of grandchildren — with them in Tucson and me in Payson.

However, promising a sledding adventure without actually owning a sled probably wasn’t a peak mental acuity moment for me.

But we set off full of naïve hope, with plenty of room on my credit card for grandkid spoilage.

Big 5 had nothing — well, almost nothing. They exhausted their supply of plastic sleds soon as the first storm hit — and had CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

Liam Aleshire took this picture to illustrate Roundup editor Peter Aleshire’s grandchild management skills.

Sledding’s a blast – if you have a sled FROM PAGE 6

no snow clothes for the fashionably tiny. So we settled on some cool looking waterproof tennis shoes for Liam and Little Frogger rain gear. Had to go to Bashas’ to get mittens small enough.

We ended up at Walmart, which had also sold all its sleds.

Stalling for time, I told the two adorables to each pick out a toy. Fortunately, I then bumped into Holly and Ken Crump, introduced them to my ever-so-polite and patient grandkids and shared my impending failure as a grandfather. Holly offered her daughter’s snow sled and off we went.

So we finally hit the road fully outfitted. I thought the kids hadn’t even noticed we’d spent an hour or two just getting them outfitted. But then came Liam’s pensive voice from the heart of his little car seat. “Well, that certainly took forever.”

With my multi-generational reputation on the line, I realized I don’t actually know where to take kids sledding. So we drove, passing possibilities, the snow getting deeper as we gained elevation.

Finally, I turned off at the 260 Trailhead.

We piled out of the car and they floundered off into the snow.

They plunged in to their hips, flopping forward and bursting back to their feet with a brilliant flurry of laughter.

“It’s so deep,” said Ilana. “Look, grandpa, I have not feet!”

That about melted me down.

They looked like Muppets, in their floppy Little Frogger rain gear, brimming with happiness.

We found a steep, short hill — with a safe enough ending.

And they sledded, screaming with excitement.

Turns out, I was the one without snow gear — since I’d lent it all to Seth. But the wetter I got, the happier I felt — hauling the sled up, positioning them at the top of the drop, launching them, retrieving them.

I made a completely unsuccessful effort to convince Liam that you should not throw a snowball at the head of an elderly person trying to help you get your sled to the top of the hill — but otherwise felt very nearly competent in the grandfather department.

Ilana signaled the end of the adventure by announcing she was cold — since they both kept losing their tennis shoes at the bottom of a step into the snow.

So off we went, completely content. I feel sure I could have aced a mental acuity test.

Liam fell asleep on the drive back and never so much as stirred when I put him down for a nap, still lost in his Little Froggers.

Ilana and I played Lord of the Rings Monopoly until Seth and Jill got home. They had a rosy romantic glow from their trek all alone through unbroken snow to the Rim. “Did they behave themselves?” asked Seth anxiously.

“Perfectly,” I said.

He surveyed the pile of new clothes and toys.

“Easy to make them happy if you never say no,” he grumbled.

I just smiled.

Gotta love this grandpa gig: All the pleasure — none of the responsibility.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Single Lambs looking for romance could find Cupid especially accommodating this week. Paired partners also find their relationships benefiting from the chubby cherub’s attention.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Keep your keen Bull’s eye focused on your target, and shake off any attempt to turn your attention elsewhere. You should get some news later in the week that might answer some questions.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your early enthusiasm for a project might have been somewhat premature. Although you feel positive about it, you might need more information in order to make an informed decision.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Taking on a new responsibility might seem like the politically correct thing to do. But even with the promise of support, was it the wisest? Consider reassessing your upcoming decision.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Apply yourself to completing your task despite all the distractions that might be interfering with your work. Then reward yourself with a weekend of fun shared with people who are close to you.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A business agreement from the past might need to be looked at again. Use this unexpected development to check out other matters related to it. A weekend venture proves to be rewarding.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Don’t ignore that uneasy feeling about making a commitment. It could be a case of understandably cold feet, or a warning that something isn’t as right as it should be.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A colleague could be more supporting of one of your efforts. But it’s up to you to make the case for it, and that could mean opening up a secret or two, which might be a problem for you.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Expect some good news about a relative you’ve been worried about. But don’t expect the full story to be told -- at least not yet. A workplace matter might face shifting priorities.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Despite some anxious moments, you could have good reason to be pleased with how things are turning out. An end-of-the-week call might hold some interesting information.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A long-overdue expression of appreciation could be offered soon. But admit it: You never really expected it would happen, right?

Meanwhile, keep your weekend options open.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) It’s a good time to dive right into a new challenge, whether it’s learning a computer app, or how to drive a stick shift, or making a new friend.

Whatever it is, good luck.
