TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS
VACATION WITH THE FAMILY We have just returned from a spring vacation with some of our family who reside in Arizona. The participants were Norma, me, our son and daughter-in-law and their two children, ages 11 and 14. It was school spring break and we all felt it was time to get away to someplace not too far from home. We have taken the young ones on two cruises already. One was to Alaska and the other last year was a Disney cruise to the western Caribbean for a week. As we all sat around to discuss ideas for the itinerary, the children kept pressing for another cruise. The next day I began looking for a cruise that would fit all six of us into the short time we had, which was one week. I found a Princess cruise operating out of KEN BROOKS the port of Los Angeles that lasted four days and cruised to Santa Barbara and Ensenada, Mexico. The ship then returned to Los Angeles. After another consultation with the family all agreed that we should book the short cruise on Princess. I was able to book us on the cruise ship Sapphire Princess, with three cabins next to one another. Norma and I had a balcony cabin, as did the children’s mom and dad. The young ones occupied an interior cabin across the hall from us. It was really a fine arrangement. The kids could really do what they wanted except for dinner when the six of us sat at one table and compared notes of the day’s activities. Our first port call was at beautiful Santa Barbara. We have a daughter living there and she met us at the pier and we continued on to a nearby outdoor restaurant located at seaside. We all got a little fatter as we devoured hamburgers, fries and chocolate shakes. After a nice visit we returned to our ship, which was anchored out in the bay. The Sapphire Princess is quite large at 115,000 gross tons, carries 2,600 passengers, a crew of 1,200 and 952 feet in length. The next day we docked at Ensenada, Mexico for a day’s visit. Many of the passengers booked shore tours to a selection of destinations nearby, including whale watching. And I can report the tourists on the whale-watching vessel did indeed see whales as they moved north to birth their young. The next day of our cruise was spent at sea allowing us to relax, get some sun and enjoy the many facilities onboard for all age groups. There are four swimming pools outdoors and one covered inside. Many games for various age groups were scheduled throughout the day and each evening offered wonderful entertainment on the main theatre stage. The seats were most comfortable and the sight line was also very good with stadium seating. The food on our Princess ship was some of the best we have enjoyed in several years. Princess has done a fine job of improving the food quality and menu selec-

tion in recent years. There were also sound proofing tiles in the dining room ceiling that allowed for a quieter dining experience. The service personnel were as marvelous with the young people as they were with the adults. All seemed happy in their work, which made the experience very pleasant. The Sapphire Princess interiors were modern with fine furniture, and floor coverings. Artwork was all over the ship and it caused us to really examine many of the paintings and objects of art. We all felt that with such pleasant interiors we could enjoy a much longer cruise in the ship. We sailed from the port of Los Angeles on a Sunday and arrived back at the same port on Thursday. The disembarkation was simple and quick. The bottom line was we all very much enjoyed our short time with Princess Cruises and look forward to a longer cruise with them in the near future. Our son and his family took off to visit friends in Newport Beach for a couple days while Norma and I checked in to the nearby Marriott Marina Del Ray. It is situated a few miles north of the LAX airport. On Friday, we drove to the Los Angeles train station and purchased tickets to San Diego to visit an old friend for lunch. I selected Business Class seats. After the ticket purchase we were directed to the Business Class lounge nearby. I was surprised to discover that like Business Class on aircraft, AMTRAK has a similar lounge for their train passengers. The attendant at the desk told us to have a seat and feel free to enjoy various beverages and snacks and she would announce our train when it was ready for passengers. After about 30 minutes she came over to where we were sitting and told us our train was ready to board. She led us outside to a waiting electric shuttle that took us to the train and stopped next to the car in which we had reservations. We were surprised at the special service. The train departed on schedule and it took less than three hours to arrive in downtown San Diego at the classic old
Santa Fe Station. My old friend, who I had not seen in more than 10 years, was waiting to meet us. We walked to his parked car and drove less than a mile to the seaside Anthony’s restaurant. I was pleased to discover the restaurant had not changed a bit from the years I had enjoyed it when I resided in nearby La Jolla. We all ordered seafood and enjoyed talking with one another after all the years apart. At 2:40 p.m. our train back to Los Angeles departed for our return at 5:35 p.m. Yes, I was in the expected Friday night traffic on the Los Angeles freeways. I learned years ago when I lived in L.A. that all you can do in these circumstances is to give in to the situation and hang on. Early that evening we saw our grandson and his wife and their 14-month-old daughter Sadie at their home in Venice, which is located near the beach. She is the cutest little thing and can say many words. She can now also walk a little. We left soon and drove back to our hotel in Marina Del Ray. About 9:15 p.m. we were enjoying dinner in the hotel’s dining room when Norma said to me, “I think we are having an earthquake.” I looked around and the curtains were swinging back and forth and other people seated next to us observed the same situation. Well, it was a 5.1 quake with the epicenter in a nearby community. We finished dinner and went to our room. It was an interesting day to say the least. We spent most of our time in and around Los Angeles with family during our threeday stay; however, if you are in Los Angeles and have no family to visit I suggest you comb the Web for interesting activities. There are sporting events, live theatre and music of various kinds, museums, Hollywood studios, TV shows to watch being recorded, a large zoo and Universal Theme Park as well as nearby Disneyland. You could fill a week and not do it all. On Sunday morning we placed our luggage in the car and drove old Highway One, which skirts along the Pacific Coast to
nearby Santa Barbara where our daughter and husband live. We spent five days with them. There is much to do around this area depending on your interests. There are museums, art galleries, flower farms, fine restaurants and live entertainment. The city faces the sea with fine beaches and all the activities that go with it. It even has a long pier jetting out from the downtown area where there are two very good seafood restaurants and parking is free on the pier. You can also fish from the beaches or join a fishing boat for a half or full day try at catching some big ones in the sea. There are also fine golf courses in the area if you are a player. Norma and I enjoyed visiting with relatives and friends during our stay here. Come the next Friday it was time to head back to Arizona. We departed rather early and drove to Palm Springs where we spent the afternoon and evening breaking up the drive to Payson. While there we spent a couple hours around the hotel pool and saw a movie. That evening we tried to get tickets to the Palm Springs Follies, but it was sold out. We discovered that this is the farewell season after 23 years of a fine vaudeville presentation with live entertainers and a pit orchestra. It all ends May 18. All cast members are 55 and over and some were part of the Radio City Music Hall Dancing Troup in New York City. It all happens at the downtown Plaza Theatre. If you want to see this lively all-live show look them up on the web and call for tickets. There is not much time left. The Plaza Theatre belongs to the City of Palm Springs so it will be interesting to discover who or what takes over this classic venue. I can also recommend visiting Sherman’s Deli for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It’s like those in New York City. The best! The next morning we arose early for breakfast and drove on to Payson. It was a great two weeks of family fun and entertainment.

RIM HISTORY RIM HISTORY BACK WHEN | STAN BROWN
RIM COUNTRY PLACES CHAPTER 41: WASHINGTON PARK
The spring of 1963, my wife and I headed out of Phoenix to explore what for us was the mysterious land just beneath the Mogollon Rim. On our second day, while following the Control Road from east to west, we came to the East Verde River and turned up a forest road to follow the river as far as we could. Later we learned this road was called the old Rim Trail. After three miles of ungraded road the trail went to the left and proceeded up a side canyon that we later STAN BROWN came to know as Mail Creek. Soon the road ended at a locked gate with a sign indicating the ranch beyond was owned by a family named Greer. This was Washington Park. The Washington Park ranch is located on one of those lush meadows that lie immediately below the Rim, watered by springs flowing from that majestic escarpment. These locations were ideal for early settlers, and the census of 1900 indicates that many of those canyons and streams were settled. The Goswicks were on Ellison Creek, Elwood Pyle and family were on Bonita Creek, the James Noah Powers family on Dude Creek [1], the Belluzzis and Merrits on the East Verde, Peter and Sarah Bray on Bray Creek, and Frank and Mary Herron on upper Webber Creek where the Geronimo Boy Scout
Camp would be established one day. However, in 1900 there were no persons of record living on either Chase Creek or Mail Creek. Ten years later the census of 1910 reveals some changes. James N. Powers and his wife Sarrah (sic) had left the Dude and settled Chase Creek. Living on Mail Creek were Robert and Mary Jackson with their three-year-old son Earl. The Jacksons had been married on Christmas Eve 1900 in Martinsburg, W. Va. Over the next 10 years they migrated to Arizona and by 1910 were settled on Mail Creek in the Rim Country. The public records of their marriage also reveal a most interesting fact: Mary’s maiden name was Washington. Her parents were John and Jennie Washington. It does not take a very big leap of our thoughts to assume they named their ranch Washington Park in honor of Mary’s family. The Jacksons staked a homestead claim on the land, but at some time before 1920 the Jacksons sold their claim to Fred Faver and in 1923 he received a Federal patent on the property. Faver was single and he had a partner named William M. Brown, also single. Faver may have gotten married and decided that was no life for his bride, for by 1930 he seems to have turned up in Buckeye, Ariz. While that record is unclear, in any case he disappeared from the Rim Country having sold Washington Park to a man from Phoenix named Herrin (not to be confused with the Herron family of Payson). He tried to name the homestead HP Ranch, for Herrin Park,
but that did not take hold in local usage and the name of Washington Park continued to be the accepted name. We have not been able to locate any information about Mr. Herrin or where he went after he sold to the next owner, Fred McGee. McGee came to the Rim Country from California where he had run pack trains over the Sierra Madre for the Forest Service. Payson’s sometime historian Ralph Fisher told about a visit to the ranch. “I well remember one morning, as I visited the late Fred McGee at Washington Park Ranch, Frank Colcord and another hunter-trapper rode into the ranch after shooting a huge black bear out of a tall pine tree between the Doctor Pease ranch on Chase Creek and Washington Park. The hide hung on the old cabin at Washington Park for many years.” However, in 1938 McGee surrendered ownership to Dr. Joseph M. Greer in lieu of an unpaid medical bill. Dr. Greer was a practicing physician in Phoenix who with two other doctors had established Mesa’s first hospital, the Mesa Southside Hospital. After becoming the owner of Washington Park, Dr. Greer invited Fred McGee to stay on the ranch as its caretaker. McGee died August 8, 1952 at the age of 78 and is buried on “bachelor’s row” in the Payson Pioneer Cemetery. Dr. Joseph Madison Greer was philanthropic, engaged in many charitable and civic activities, such as the Boy Scouts of America and the YMCA. He also served in World War II. He was known as “the flying doctor” because he often flew to remote
parts of Arizona to attend patients. He specialized in treating crippled children. He and his wife Sue befriended a family named Ynez from Benson, Ariz., and in the 1920s they took the two Ynez girls, Jesus, nicknamed Suse, and Matilda. They raised these two as foster daughters and enabled them to secure good educations. Matilda went to Flagstaff Teachers College and became a nurse. She worked alongside of Dr. Greer as his nurse for the rest of his career. When Dr. Greer was enlisted in the Army in World War II, Matilda also served as a nurse during the liberation of the Philippines. Suse was trained as a secretary and for 40 years she managed Dr. Greer’s medical practice and business affairs. When the Greers acquired the Washington Park ranch the site already contained the main house, which they enlarged, barns, some cabins, and a wooden aqueduct bringing water from the springs. This enabled them to develop an apple orchard. Each summer Mrs. Greer spent much time in a cabin at the far end of the ranch where she could pursue her aspirations to be a writer. She died in August of 1957. Dr. Greer died in March 1969 and willed the ranch to his two surrogate daughters, the Ynez sisters. Eventually the ranch was sold to the Knoell family, and they retained part of the property while the rest became a retreat center called Mountain Ridge Cabins. [1] The first settler on Dude Creek was Frank McClintock, a “dude” from the East, thus the name of the creek.
CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER FROM PAGE 4
The - to some extent - novice directors (admittedly guys who turned out to be able to make a satisfying big screen hit) are teamed with pair of writers with an astonishing record of success. Ink men Christopher Markus and Steven McFeely have teamed up for their entire, very successful, writing careers. They wrote Captain America: The First Avenger and also Thor: The Dark World, which seems to have brought them the favor of the Marvel franchise. They also penned the three movies in the Chronicles of Narnia series of Christian-flavored children’s films. The three Chronicles films grossed more than a billion and a half dollars. But we go to films like this to see big stars and big explosions, let’s not kid ourselves. Chris Evans returns to his role as WWII soldier Steve Rogers. The young
Steve could not qualify physically to join the forces of freedom in the greatest war of all time, until he volunteered for an experiment in creating a super soldier. The puny Steve Rogers transformed into Captain America via a serum and defeats the Red Skull and his minions to win WWII. Welcome to the comic book world created by legendary writer Stan Lee, not the real world. We enjoy the Marvel universe because of the interaction of our super human characters in very human ways. If Captain America sleeps for 60 years or so, so what? If he can jump out of an airplane without a parachute, who cares? Captain America after all, can do and does do whatever it takes. Just hold on and be entertained. When actor Chris Evans takes or delivers a punch, he sells it so well that we don’t question it for a minute. That makes for a kind of good acting and a kind of good directing.
The role of the Black Widow has grown since the first Captain America film, all to the good for me. The Black Widow appears in most of the scenes in the new movie and has the best line in the film. Scarlett Johansson plays the ex-KGB operative who now works for S.H.I.E.L.D., the agency that protects the U.S.A. and the world from the super villains. Scarlett Johansson played the same character in The Avengers. Naturally Samuel L. Jackson returns to play the one eyed head of S.H.I.E.L.D., the fabled Nick Fury. We also have Robert Redford in a critical role as the overseer of S.H.I.E.L.D. Watch when he opens the refrigerator. Look for the jar of Newman’s Own sauce, in homage to Redford’s friend and twice co-star Paul Newman. Also appearing is Romanian born Sebastian Stan as the Winter Soldier of the title. The
Winter Soldier has a mechanical arm, an impossible technology today, but apparently not in the 1940s. Anthony Mackie gets to fly in the Falcon flying suit as Sam Wilson, an ex-special ops soldier that lends a hand. The distinct
looking Toby Jones adds a role here as a computer dwelling personality to his other 77 acting credits. And of course Stan Lee himself appears in a cameo. This will be a huge success and it should be.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might need to do a bit more investigating before making a career move. You do best when you come armed with the facts. A personal matter still needs tending to. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your creativity plus your good business sense once more combine to give you an important advantage in a difficult workplace situation. An ally proves his or her loyalty. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Avoid rushing into something just because it offers a break from your usual routine. Take things a step at a time to be sure you’re moving in the right direction. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Bouncing back from a disappointing incident isn’t easy, but you should find a welcome turn of events emerging. Spend the weekend with someone special. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) An incomplete project needs your attention before someone else takes it over and uses it to his or her advantage. There’ll be lots of time for fun and games once you get it done. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Doubts involving a potential career change need to be resolved quickly so they don’t get in the way when you feel you’re finally ready to make the big move. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Looking to blame someone for a workplace problem could backfire if it turns out you’ve got the wrong “culprit.” Best to get more facts before acting on your assumptions. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Patience might still be called for until you’re sure you finally have the full story that eluded you up till now. A trusted associate could offer valuable guidance. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Look into your recent behavior to see if you could have caused the coolness you might now be sensing from a loved one. If so, apologize and set things straight. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Easing up on your social activities allows you to focus more of your energies on a long-neglected personal matter. You can get back into party mode by the weekend. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) A dispute with a colleague can be resolved peacefully once you both agree to be more flexible about the positions you’ve taken and allow for more open-minded discussions. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Volunteering to take on added responsibilities could be a risky way to impress the powers-that-be. Do it only if you’re sure you won’t be swept away by the extra workload. BORN THIS WEEK: Your sense of self-awareness allows you to make bold moves with confidence. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.
