AROUND RIM COUNTRY

Author shares journey to publication The Rim Country District of Arizona Professional Writers host local independent author Connie Cockrell at noon, Wednesday, Feb. 18 in the meeting room of the Payson Public Library, 328 N. McLane Road. Cockrell will discuss the challenges and triumphs of getting a book into print. “From the first challenge to write to getting a book published is a long and perilous journey,” she says. Cockrell’s books run the gamut from science fiction to contemporary stories. To date, she has published two stand-alone novels and a four-book series. Additionally, her stories have been included in four different anthologies. Cockrell is currently working on a number of writing projects, including a contemporary young adult series and three collections of short stories. A few of her books will be available for purchase and signing following the presentation. Cockrell’s publications are also available through Amazon and other eBook vendors. The public is invited to attend free of charge.

TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS

CRUISING ON THE EMERALD PRINCESS Last December Norma received a call from her granddaughter who resides in Minneapolis. She said that she and her husband were tired of the Minnesota cold and would like to take a cruise into warm waters. She asked if we would like to join them. We said yes! With that, together we chose Princess Cruises Emerald Princess sailing out of Houston, Texas for seven days to Roatan, Belize and Cozumel, Mexico. Over the next few days we made air and hotel reservations to accomplish our goal which was warm weather sailing in a happy ship. Last year we cruised in the Sapphire Princess along the West Coast and found Princess to be a good product for us. So, late January we flew to Houston where we overnighted at the NASA Hilton located across the street from the Johnson Space Center. The next day, Sunday, we took a cab to the Houston Cruise Terminal and checked in for our week’s adventure. At 4:30 that afternoon, after the emergency drill for all passengers, the captain ordered all lines disconnected from shore and we slowly maneuvered into the channel and cruised south into the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico. By this time our luggage had arrived in our stateroom and we began the moving-in process. After about 45 minutes we thought it was time to explore our lovely ship and its facilities. The Emerald Princess carries Many travelers visit Roatan to take 3,000 passengers with a crew of 1,250.

afternoon temperatures around 80 degrees and sunny. Many of the ship’s passengers took off to the beautiful beaches to get some sun so they could return home in a few days with a tan. The next day was spent at sea cruising our way north and headed again for Houston where we docked on Sunday morning. The major entertainment was programmed for younger passengers with a very talented cast of 20 dancers and singers with a live orchestra to accompany them. There were four production shows along with a night of comedy and another of expert magic. During the sea days there were numerous activities, games and talks scheduled with various entertainment in the lounges. And, don’t forget the casino activity. The food was good, tasty, with a large selection in the various dining areas. Of particular note was the good nature of the crew who were very willing to please even the most particular passengers. We found the passengers most friendly which were from Texas and the middle-west. I can strongly recommend the Emerald Princess. It’s the best! After a very easy departure from the ship, we collected our luggage and boarded a pre-arranged transfer car to take us to the Johnson Space Center and NASA for a tour of the campus before heading to the airport for our flight to Dallas. The campus is much larger than I had imagined. Many buildings devoted to space flight are located here. After obtaining tickets we entered into a large museum containing a documentary movie theater and several areas for displays of rockets, spacecraft and ancillary gear associated with various missions in the past. At one

point we boarded a tram that drove us around the campus with a couple stops including one at the Mission Control building which we have seen on television so many times. We sat in a viewing facility located behind glass while a very informed speaker explained what we were viewing. We heard about past missions as well as those planned in the future that includes flights to the planet Mars. After three hours here, we were driven to the airport for a short flight to Dallas where we had business the next day. We stayed at a hotel near SMU. On this campus is located the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum. I understand it opened early last year. This is a winner regardless of your politics. It provides an unmatched resource for the study of the life and career of the nation’s 43rd president. In its archives, students and scholars have access to a vast collection of materials detailing a very consequential time in American history. It features a compelling permanent exhibition that uses artifacts, documents, audio/visual and interactive components to capture the key decisions and events of the presidency of George W. Bush. The museum employs immersive interactive features that tell the story of our nation and our world in an extraordinary time. There is an exact replica of the Oval Office in the White House where you can sit in any of the chairs and couches and even sit at the presidential desk where your photo can be taken. There is also a large souvenir shop available as you exit which is interesting and we followed that with a fine lunch in Café 43. This was a memorable experience for both Norma and me. Then, home again to Arizona. A great and interesting and warm experience.

Redmayne’s next role will be of transgendered artist HOLLYWOOD -- The confirmation that Olympic gold medalist Bruce Jenner really is transitioning to become a woman has shocked many people. The upcoming reality show, starring Bruce, will keep the shock value going. Last year, Jarod Leto won his best supporting actor Oscar for playing a transsexual in “Dallas Buyer’s Club,” which may have swayed Eddie Redmayne, Oscar nominated for his portrayal of physicist Stephen Hawking “The Theory of Everything,” to take on a risky project for his post-Oscar film. He first hit with “My Week With Marilyn” (2011), then he impressed in “Les Miserables.” Redmayne won a Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award for “The Theory of Everything” and is the favorite to win an Oscar this year. He’s currently on big screens in the $175 million

“Jupiter Ascending,” playing an effeminate dictator of another planet. He’ll next take on the role of Danish painter Einar Wegener, who later transitioned to become Lili Elbe, the first man to have sexual reassignment surgery, in 1931. The film, “The Danish Girl,” will be directed by Eddie’s “Les Miserables” director, Toby Hooper. Before Redmayne, those considered for the role were Nicole Kidman, Gwenyth Paltrow, Charlize Theron, Marion Cotillard and Rachel Weisz. Hooper won the Academy Award for “The King’s Speech,” which grossed $414 million worldwide. Redmayne admits, “I have put on dresses and wigs and makeup. I’m beginning to embark on trying to find out who she was.” This is a time when interests, thanks to Bruce Jenner, are high on men transitioning to women.

RIM HISTORY RIM HISTORY BACK WHEN | STAN BROWN

CHARACTERS BELOW THE RIM

CHAPTER 13, JESSE W. ELLISON

Ranching was becoming increasingly difficult in Shakelford County Texas, near Albany and about 100 miles west of Fort Worth. The new fencing laws were making the open range a thing of the past, and some sheep ranchers went bankrupt when the bottom fell out of that market. It was more than a tough hombre like Jesse Ellison wanted to deal with, even though he had served in the Texas Rangers and been a Confederate soldier in the Civil War. So at the age of 43 he gathered a group of cowboys and they brought their sevSTAN BROWN eral herds of cattle by train to Arizona, where he had heard there were abundant grasslands. Jesse Washington Ellison was born Sept. 22, 1841 in Brazos, Texas, the son of Jesse and Isabella Ellison. During the Civil War he served as a private in both the Texas Cavalry and Company B of the Virginia Company. Correspondence between his cousins reveals he had some health problems. One letter says, “Jess Ellison has returned on furlough of 40 days; he looks rather wasted. His health is far from being good. He is gone to see his mother now.” At this point one would hardly guess he would live a vigorous frontier life until the age of 93. [1] Jesse married Susan Melvina Smith on Feb. 14, 1864 in Coryell, Texas. She was the daughter of Henry and Sarah Hall Smith. Returning to Texas after the war Ellison became a very successful cattle rancher until winter ice storms killed many of the cattle and Jesse went broke. He had heard about opportunities in Arizona’s Tonto Basin and decided to pull stakes, shipping 3,000 head of cattle by rail to Bowie, the jump off place for a cattle drive to Tonto Basin. It was the autumn of 1885 when the party arrived at Bowie, including Ellison’s wife and seven children and the herders. They were J. W. Boyle, age 30; Robert “Bud” Campbell, age 17, a cousin, who would later marry the Ellisons’ daughter Rose; Perle (sic) G. Ellison, Jesse’s son, age 20, would become the father of another Rim character, “Slim” Ellison; John Jacobs, age 34, a sheep raiser, would be killed in the Pleasant Valley War; Houston Kyle, age 18, would marry Ellison’s daughter Minnie; Glen Reynolds, age 31, who later became county sheriff and was killed by the Apache Kid; William Dallas McFadden, age 38, whose son, William “Pecos” McFadden later bought Ellison’s “Q” Ranch; Robert H. Samuels, age 27; John W. Voris, age 17, who later married and settled a ranch along Cherry Creek southeast of Young. [2] At Bowie a drought made the animals so thirsty and hot they stampeded, and a portion of the herd was lost. The Ellison cowboys drove the rest of the herd to

Tonto Basin, where Roosevelt Lake is now, but the cattle continued to do poorly and a large number died. The grass was not plentiful enough for the increasing number of cattle being brought in. Fights between ranchers followed and Ellison decided to find another location. He left some of the herd there to recover, watched by his son Perle and several of the cowboys, and employed John Henry Thompson to take the rest of his herd to a ranch site he located up under the Mogollon Rim. [3] He brought his “Q” brand with him from Texas. The location of Ellison’s first ranch was along the creek that came to bear the family name, and they immediately planted an extensive orchard of apples, plumbs, peaches and grapes. They also raised hogs, for the numerous oak trees supplied plenty of acorns. They named the ranch “Apple Valley” and the family would live there for 10 years. When a rash of horse thieves plagued the Rim Country, Jesse joined the posse that pursued them. Apparently he participated in the lynching of three accused horse thieves, Stott, Scott and Wilson, though their innocence is still a matter of debate. In 1890 daughter Rose was married to Bud Campbell, one of the cowboys in Ellison’s party. That same year a politician running for the office of county recorder stopped at the Apple Valley Ranch to solicit Jesse’s support. The politician was George Wylie Paul Hunt (known by his initials GWP Hunt). He became infatuated with Ellison’s daughter Helen Duette, and his visits to the ranch were increasingly

frequent. He proposed marriage, but she postponed it claiming she was needed at home. Finally by 1904 Hunt had waited long enough and gave her an ultimatum. He would be in Holbrook on Feb. 24th and she should be there to marry him. If she did not come, their engagement was off. She did appear and they were married; he was 44 and she was 36. In June 1905 they had their only child, Virginia. Meanwhile Hunt had won every election he entered, and in 1912 when Arizona became a state, Hunt was elected its first governor. Helen Duette Ellison was now the state’s first lady, though she carefully kept a low profile throughout what would be Hunt’s many re-elections. In the 1890s Jesse Ellison was eager to expand his land holdings, and negotiated to buy a ranch in Pleasant Valley along Cherry Creek. The owner was Jim Ramer of the OW ranch, who became good friends with Ellison. It took several years for the move to be completed, gradually moving livestock and family from Apple Valley to “Grasslands” — the name first given to the new ranch. Later it was simply known by the Ellison brand, “The Q.” The Apple Valley Ranch was sold to his son-in-law Bud Campbell, but tragically Bud’s wife Rose died of typhoid fever in December 1894. Then Bud Campbell was killed by Indians in July 1896. The couple became the first laid to rest in the family cemetery on the Q Ranch. Jesse and Susan took the Campbell’s two children to raise in the family’s 14-room house. Sorrow continued for the Ellison family when Houston Kyle, who had married Minnie Ellison,

died of spinal meningitis. Minnie sold her stock in the ranch, was remarried to a widower and moved to Texas. Sahra Mattie Ellison [4] had married Ben Nail, and they owned the ranch north of the Q. She died of typhoid in 1905 and was buried in the family cemetery. In 1912 Jesse finally filed homestead papers, also filing their own sections for Duette, Lena and the Campbell children. By this time he was 71 years old and had scaled down his operation to 50 head of cattle. In 1915 they sold their ranch to Pecos McFadden and moved to Phoenix with their daughter Helen Duette and the governor. Jesse’s wife Susan Ellison died Feb. 2, 1929, and in 1931 Helen Duette died. The governor, long infatuated with Egyptian pyramids, had her tomb built in that form on a hill in Phoenix’s Papago Park. When Jesse Ellison died Jan. 24, 1934 that tomb would become the burial place for both of the Ellisons as well as the Hunts.

La Posada:

COVER STORY | ALEXIS BECHMAN

Masterpiece saved from the wrecking ball STORY AND PHOTOS BY ALEXIS BECHMAN RIM REVIEW

Rocking beneath a gold and turquoise stenciled ceiling in front of a warm fire, cocooned by the rumble of trains in the night and the strumming of a guitarist in the lobby, you can easily lose track of your century in Winslow’s La Posada. On every hand, the historic lodge offers a glimpse of a graceful past and the keen aesthetic of one of the nation’s distinctive architects. That sense of beauty and design unfolds as you pass under gentle arches, stroll through sunken gardens, marvel at wavy wood-trimmed doors and a giant petrified wood fountain, snicker at long-eared jackrabbit iron ashtrays and sit in a dining room where servers still don the uniform architect Mary Colter designed. In a time when men dominated the field of architecture and most other professions, this remarkable woman somehow managed to impose her distinctive vision. She touched every surface in La Posada, from the iron handrails, built by Roosevelt Dam construction workers, to the flooring in the hallways, designed to silently carry guests to their rooms. La Posada is one of the few remaining structures Colter designed, lovingly restored after decades of misuse and abuse. Constructed during the golden era of transcontinental train travel, Colter designed La Posada with a rich history in mind to provide a resting place for the weary as they traveled through the Southwest along the Sante Fe Railway. Ironically, the railway that helped build La Posada nearly wiped it off the map after the Great Depression hit. Today, it is a quick getaway from Rim Country, just two hours north on State Route 87. La Posada remains the jewel of Winslow, which doesn’t boast much else to do except stand on the corner, as the Eagles’ song croons. But in 1930, La Posada served as the cultural center of life for the region, drawing travelers and celebrities from around the world. La Posada served as a layover for people on a cross-country journey who wanted to head up to the Grand Canyon, where Colter designed the Hopi House, the Phantom Ranch Canteen and Desert Watchtower. A stop at the hotel still provides plenty to do for the night, including fine dining at the James Beard award nominated Turquoise Room, a stroll through the grounds, an onsite art gallery and a chance to watch the trains go by on one of the busiest tracks in the state. La Posada also makes a great base to explore both Homolovi State Park, site of a 1,200-room Native American ruin an the Petrified Forest National Park, about an hour’s drive to the east.

Women had just gotten the vote when architect Mary Colter landed the commission to design La Posada in Winslow. A $12 million restoration restored it to its glory, complete with a gourmet restaurant. Colter’s influence remains vivid in the thick walls, artistic ceilings and sense of both surprise and Old World dignity. LA POSADA: HISTORY OF A MASTERPIECE

The year was 1927, four years before Colter would design the Watchtower at Desert View on the south rim of the Grand Canyon. The Fred Harvey Company commissioned Colter to design a grand hotel, the last of the legendary Harvey Houses and perhaps her finest design. Despite the onset of the Great Depression, the company believed rail travel and western tourism would continue to grow. Giving the commission to a woman made history, given that women had only secured the right to vote a few years earlier. In a time when professional women were rare, Colter worked with a freedom seldom seen in the day. Colter was one of the first to incorporate the Native American aesthetic into her designs. A collector of Native American art, Colter’s interest began as a child when a man gave her family several Sioux ledger drawings. She later attended the California School of Design and in 1902, caught the attention of Minnie Harvey, the daughter of Fred Harvey, whose company catered to railroad passengers with dining, lodging and travel options. Minnie also collected Native American art and the two became friends. When Harvey died, his children took over the business, including Minnie and her brother Ford Harvey. The Harveys decided that to attract more visitors, they needed to make the business more in accord with the southwestern culture. They built the Alvarado Hotel in Albuquerque, N.M. in the Spanish mission style. Colter designed the gift shop there. She then designed the

Hopi House on the south rim of the Grand Canyon next to El Tovar. In 1910, Colter became a permanent designer and architect for the Harvey company, designing hotels and restaurants along the Sante Fe Railway. To Ford Harvey, Winslow was the perfect place to build a large hotel, close to the Grand Canyon, Flagstaff and the Petrified Forest. With a steady stream of visitors arriving along the railway and the construction of Route 66 in 1926, even more people made their way to the desert via automobile. Despite the harsh landscape, people were captivated by the Native American culture and the western lifestyle. “The demands of the Southwest’s prosperous tourist trade made it possible for Mary Colter to gain entrance to the male-dominated world of architecture,” Carissa Massey wrote in a dissertation on Colter. “Tourism was so successful that Colter found herself with the opportunity

to develop architecture geared towards the thriving tourist and create a style that would appeal to travelers as exotic and southwestern.” Colter designed La Posada with two front doors. On one side, a metal gate and curved, stucco arches greeted train travelers and on the north side, a large courtyard greeted those coming by automobile. She dreamed the building. Although constructed in a year, she designed it to look as though it had stood for decades, added to over time like many of those grand estates. She envisioned that a wealthy Spanish family moved to the site 120 years earlier, CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

building La Posada “as an oasis in this strange land of dancing katsina spirits and Navajos on Spanish horses courtesy of Don’s Tovar and Onate generations before,” according to the hotel website. From the central two floors, the “family” added on a 33-guest room west wing perpendicular to the train tracks. With a series of interlocking wings, she wanted the hotel to have the appearance of a rambling country estate open to select visitors. Inside, Colter varied the materials, floors, room sizes and layout of the arches to create a constant sense of surprise and discovery. She raised the large ballroom six feet above the lobby, “heightening the sense of activity as well as mystery, as one wonders what is happening in the next room.” Fireplaces adorn the common areas, intended to bring strangers together. Leading to the guest rooms, Colter used a thick linoleum product — quiet to walk on but allowing her to incise with decorative designs. Each guest room is named after one of the hotel’s famous guests and is entered through a paneled wood door, which leads to a small vestibule. Although the railway sold off all of the furniture in the hotel when it closed, the restoration effort brought in mission style pieces designed by a local artist to remain consistent with Colter’s vision. Many of the rooms also have bookcases stocked with plenty of reading material. Just off a breezeway, Colter added a sunken garden, complete with a fountain made out of a pieces of petrified wood. She added large cottonwood trees and planned to add a maze outside, a common motif found in Native American jewelry and baskets. Although the hotel operated for 27 years before closing, the operators never realized Colter’s landscape design. Once the inn closed, the Santa Fe Railway gutted most of the building or closed off sections it didn’t need, like the guest wing, and used the rest of the building as office space. When Allan Affeldt learned about plans to tear down the building in 1997, he bought it and spent some $12 million to restore its artistic glory. He found drop ceilings and false walls covered up most of Colter’s design, but the foot-thick walls still stood. Today, there are few traces that the building was ever a 1970s office space. Many of the walls don modern art by Affeldt’s wife Tina Mion. The hotel is still undergoing improvements, including finishing Colter’s landscape plan. Affeldt has already added a straw bale maze. La Posada encapsulates Colter’s groundbreaking career. She tore down the notion of what women could achieve and left a lasting legacy.

ITINERARY FOR A GREAT WEEKEND • Payson to Winslow and La Posada: 90 miles/95 minutes. Take State Route 87 north. In Winslow, turn right onto East 2nd Street and La Posada is on the right. • Winslow to Homolovi State Park: 7 miles/15 minutes. Take North State Route 87/East I-40 business/East 3rd Street, turn left onto AZ-87 N/I-40BUS E, continue to follow AZ-87 N and turn left onto Homolovi State Park Entrance Road. • Winslow to the Petrified Forest National Park: 59 miles/53 minutes. Take I-40 east to exit 311, Park Road, to the visitor center. From the south end of the Petrified Forest, it is a two-hour drive to Payson via AZ-377 south to Heber-Overgaard and Highway 260 west to Payson.

La Posada remains the highlight of a trip to Winslow, but Petrified Forest National Park lies less than an hour away.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Having second thoughts could be a good thing, even if you’re determined to go through with your plans. You might find it worthwhile to take a fresh look at how things have been set up. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Financial matters could continue to be a problem until you’re able to straighten out some of the more pesky situations. Once that happens, the rest should be easier to unsnarl. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Family matters once again take center stage, and should be dealt with competently and quickly. And, again, insist on others taking on their fair share of the responsibilities. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your creative pursuits seem to be running into a roadblock. But rather than blame outside factors, look within to see if you might be holding back your efforts for some reason. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Keep that keen Cat’s Eye focused on relevant aspects of this new situation in your life. Don’t be distracted by trivial matters. You need the pertinent facts before making a decision. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) As much as you prefer doing things on your own, continue to accept help if you still need to resolve the problem affecting your project. Some cheerful news is about to come your way. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) While you might begrudge the added time it will take to get your project from point A to B to C, etc., you could benefit from the facts that will emerge over this expanded time span. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Regarding your workplace suggestions, be prepared to produce the facts to counter reactions from skeptics who feel your approach is unreasonable or even impossible. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Savvy Sagittarians will look for work-related answers on their own rather than rely on unproved assumptions. It might take more time to do so, but the payoff is worth it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Your aspects continue to favor family issues, with special emphasis this week on changes in and around your home. Get everyone to suggest what he or she would like to see done. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) A matter you thought had been settled might still produce surprises. Best advice: Continue to gather facts to bolster your position just in case you need to produce them quickly. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) While your instincts are usually right when discerning ‘twixt truth and deception, you could benefit from doing more research on the new “prospect” that you’ve been pitched. BORN THIS WEEK: Your wisdom is only matched by your generosity, making you the sort of friend everyone hopes to have. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
