TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS
HOLIDAY VACATION SPOTS We are in the middle of autumn and winter is close at hand. Wow! What happened to 2014? Not too distant is the end of year holiday season. Do you have plans for you and the family yet? Will you sit it out at home or perhaps get together with the family and plan a nice vacation during Christmas and New Year’s? I have a few suggestions for you and the family to consider. First, you and your relations may already be planning to get-together at your home or one of their homes during this time. Employed KEN BROOKS persons usually get a few days off work and the kids get time off from school. The bottom line is time for the family to be together. Even though it will be winter, some families camp together if the weather allows. I hear that our area may receive more moisture this winter than we have experienced in the last few years so keep that in mind when making outdoor plans. However, there are other areas in the West that may interest the clan. The mountains in California as well as the deserts may be of some interest to you. If you all seek more luxury and wish to remain in Arizona for the holidays and perhaps there are young children involved why not consider the Grand Canyon Railway for something different. For several years now they have operated their “Polar Express” train that operates from early December through New Year’s. One night packages can be purchased that include a one night stay at the railways hotel in Williams which is only a 30-minute drive west of Flagstaff on Highway 40. The hotel is situated next to the train station and offers first class rooms along with meals included in a package. You check-in early in the afternoon and enjoy an early dinner. The Polar Express departs early evening and heads to the “North Pole.” The “North Pole” is actually a lighted set which is brilliant as seen from the nighttime train window. On board the staff are properly dressed in railroad uniforms and “Santa’s helpers” are dressed in Christmas attire who pass out information, candy and hot chocolate during the trip. There are several packages available for the “Polar Express” train and you can call their reservations department be dialing 1-800-843-8724. We took the grand kids on this excursion several years ago and they thoroughly enjoyed the experience. They still talk about it. The Grand Canyon can be experienced also using the Grand Canyon Railway from Williams. Again, there are packages available using the hotel at Williams, most meals and train travel from Williams to the south rim of the Grand Canyon. A two-night package involves two nights using the hotel at Williams, round-trip train travel to and from the Canyon giving you time to have a nice lunch at the El Tovar Hotel at the rim and a bus tour of the
south rim which offers several stops for canyon photography. You have a total of three hours at the canyon. The train departs the station for the return to Williams at 3:30 p.m. arriving back in Williams at 5:45 p.m. in time for a second nice dinner in the hotels dining room. Be sure to call the Grand Canyon Railway for exact charges for the dates you and the family desire. They vary as to date and the number of nights spent in the hotel, the class of train accommodations desired and number of persons involved. And, if budget permits, book train seats in one of the Vista Dome cars. They have the best views of the passing scenery. There is also the Verde Valley Railroad offering four hours on their train through the Verde Valley. Call them at 1-877-6743836 for information and reservations. The train operates from Clarkdale, Ariz. Family members may wish to spend some time in one of the many hotels situated seaside in Southern California. From San Diego to Santa Barbara the coastal route will take you to wonderful towns situated in this beautiful part of the state. If you also want city around you consider a resort in or near San Diego. Everything you might want is located here. Good hotels, beaches, entertainment and fine dining. The Hotel Del Coronado is one of the many fine resorts to consider. If children will be included as part of your family have a look at the various parks operated by Disney. You have Disneyland in Southern California as well as Disneyworld in Orlando, Fla. Both are good. The Disney Company often builds new sections for the whole family to enjoy in both parks. Disney will be a big hit for all in the family, not just the kids. Their parks are not cheap, but will be one of the family’s best experiences together. Mom and Pop and Grandpa and Grandma will also enjoy every aspect of the Disney Parks. Dining can also be good here when you get hungry. Disney operates fine hotels in both locations. You can get an idea of their properties by looking them up on the Web. I prefer Disneyworld in Orlando however, for us in Arizona you have to go to the expense of flying there. You also might consider a family vacation with the kids in a Disney Cruise ship. They now operate four ships. Everyone can enjoy themselves aboard. There are areas for adults only when you don’t want to be near the kids. The ship cabins are a little larger than those offered on other ships and the on board entertainment is perfect for the younger set. The Disney cruise meals are also very good. There are menus for kids only which they can enjoy. This is a good, clean experience for all. Disney ships are a little more pricey than others but well worth the experience for the whole family. Their ships offer mostly Caribbean itineraries departing from Texas and Florida during the winter. Some families choose Hawaii for Christmas and New Year’s vacations. The weather is usually good at this time of year and the hotels and beaches are some of the finest in the world.

The Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego is one of the many fine resorts to consider booking for a holiday vacation.
You can fly direct from Phoenix to Hawaii with several airlines offering this every day of the week. The flight takes over five hours now and most people first visit Honolulu. If your stay is going to be four days or less and this is the first time the gang has visited Hawaii, I suggest staying in Honolulu at a Waikiki hotel. Mid-priced at Waikiki Bay beach is the Pacific Beach Hotel. It is a three-and-a-half-star property and receives good comments from past guests. There are quite a few other hotels to consider and you can do so by going to the Web or an experienced travel agent. If you and the family have experienced Hawaii in the past you might consider staying on Maui this time. The Hyatt Regency Maui Resort is just one example of a good hotel there. If your family group would enjoy a cruise in Hawaii, check out Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL). They operate seven-day cruises departing Honolulu with port calls in Maui at Kahului for two days and both Hilo and Kona in Hawaii as well as Nawilwili in the Garden Isle of Kauai before returning to Honolulu. Packages are available by calling 1-866-234-7350. The ship is very large with American officers and crew. The ship fares are a little higher than those cruising from Florida to the Caribbean because the American crew requires higher wages than those paid foreigners on the other ships. Norma and I want to do this perhaps next year. I have cruised between these islands several times but on foreign ships. How about renting a home in Park City, Utah that will accommodate your group. Prices vary but will range from $200 to $350 per night sleeping up to eight people. Check these out on the Web and call a travel agent that can help you with suggestions and reservations. Some in our family have recently rented

homes in various cities rather than hotel space and find that it works for them. You might check out this idea for you next family vacation. There are snow lodges in Colorado that may fit your families travel desires, also. Consider resorts in Mexico and those of Club Med in several parts of the world. They will all assist you with ideas for a family traveling together. Your group might even prefer vacationing on a Dude Ranch here in the West or even a working farm. Sounds crazy but, there is something for everyone. Enjoy planning your holiday family travel. This will take time.

GRAND PRIZE MINE
North of Payson, a little bit over a mile south of Control Road and southwest of the Geronimo Estates subdivision, is the remnants of the Grand Prize Mine. Today, there’s not much evidence of its past; nothing that would indicate that it was once a beehive of activity. Then again, the peak of activity for this mine was during the 1880s, 1890s, and first decade of the 20th century. Here is a look at those early days. Thomas McGraw recorded the first claim on the Grand Prize Mine on Feb. 20, 1883. John Gray, who had a ranch nearby acquired the mine by 1888 along with some others. According to the March 24, 1888 Arizona Silver Belt, “Mr. Gray informs us that at a depth of one hundred feet, the vein shows four feet of ore that will assay about $100. There is about fifty tons of good ore on the dump. Work is temporarily suspended on account of water in the mine, which, however, can be easily raised, at small expense, and Mr. Gray is now endeavoring to get a pump for that purpose.” Work resumed later that summer according to the Weekly Arizona Miner and a shaft was sunk 100 feet deeper. The property remained active during the 1890s with a number of people employed mining the property. Ownership changed somewhat

run of ore had been made through it. Soon though, boom went bust, leaving behind numerous debts including to mine workers. The January 23, 1902 Arizona Silver Belt estimated the debts at nearly $40,000, including $4,000 to workers and contractors. The article also alleged mismanagement by Dr. King. A clip from the Jan. 25, 1902 Coconino Sun, having taken it from the Jerome Reporter, placed the blame on his financiers. “It is supposed that the trouble is the outgrowth of the failure of New York persons, who were to finance the Grand Prize mining enterprise, to keep faith with him. “The New Yorkers are responsible men with ample capital, and had agreed to meet the expense incurred by Dr. King in work on the Grand Prize. Failure to realize on these promises caused the collapse of the Grand Prize deal, and left workingmen, merchants, and others working for the company to hold the bag.” The troubles continued for King and the Grand Prize Mining Company throughout the spring of 1902 and in May a new company was formed, oddly enough though with Dr. King still in charge. The Grand Prize Mine seemed to quickly shut down again though, according to this Prescott Evening Courier clip of a clip from the Globe Times from June 27,
FIRM FOUNDATION CONTINUED
1902: “Henry Haught came down from Payson Monday and returned Tuesday. He said the Grand Prize mine and smelter had shut down, and the people in and around Payson did not know when they would resume operation. Some of the checks which the men had received were protested and returned, as there was but a limited amount of cash on hand; but the men are confident that the affairs will be straightened and business resumed at an early day.” – Globe Times. During the rest of 1902 and 1903 it appears that most operations had come to a stop at the mine. In 1904, foreclosure action was initiated on the mine. The Grand Prize Mine had gone bust.

that justification is received by faith ONLY without any need, deeds or acts of good works. This is also known as the “doctrine by which the church stands or falls.” May the church of this 20th century present age stand in the faith of Christ and Christ alone! Sola Gratia. This Latin word means grace alone. This describes us as sinners and clearly identifies God as the source of salvation of sinners by His grace and His grace alone. A sinner is not accepted by God on account of the change that the believer has done by his own works instead, it is by God’s grace, confirming that anyone is accepted into God’s loving arms without any regard for the merit of his works. Of course this person must believe on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ in order to be saved ... SOLO CHRISTO
This sola is the holy truth teaching of Christ and Him being the ONLY mediator between
God and man, and that there is salvation through no other but through Jesus Christ alone. Our response? Thanksgiving and praise the ONLY response to a holy God for sending His Son, Jesus on the cross to die for the sins of mankind. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!!! Glory to God in the Highest!!! QUESTIONS:
Who do you say that Christ is? Is He God in the flesh, Savior of the world offering salvation by grace alone by all who believes? OR do you believe that Jesus is NOT God and instead you believe that you must do works for acceptance? My prayer is that you select the first. There is no other name in which you can be saved and that name is Jesus. Select Him because He selected you first as evident of a blood stained hill ... upon a cross ... where He died for your sins. Choose life, Eternal life with Christ Jesus our

COVER STORY | PETE ALESHIRE
A veteran remembers He’s matter of fact about history’s most furious battles, but can hardly believe that people still remember Larry Moore stood at his post on the Number 3 deck gun when the USS Shaw’s luck ran out once again. The 1,450-ton, 341-foot-long Mahan-class destroyer was zigzagging through the deep-blue waters of the Pacific near Cape Gloucester off the shores of New Britain in 1943, supporting the efforts of the United States 1st Marine Division to seize yet another stepping stone island on the way to the invasion of Japan. The Japanese dive bombers and torpedo planes buzzed around the supporting fleet, desperately seeking to break up the vital effort to supply the troops ashore. The Japanese had been fighting a fanatical, often-suicidal, island-byisland effort to prevent the United States from securing an island airbase close enough to the Japanese mainland to bring the war home to the Japanese people. On that fateful day, a dive bomber finally found the Shaw’s range, despite the destroyer’s skillful evasive maneuvers. The 204 officers and crew felt the impact of the 500-pound bomb, which somehow struck the deck and bounced off into the water before exploding. The blast tore a gaping hole in the bow, through which the ocean began pouring. Moore was at his battle station, manning the telescopic sighting scope on the five-inch gun, which could fire 30, 50-pound shells a
minute. “I was what they call a pointer,” recalls Moore, a longtime Payson resident whose military career bore witness to history including from epic sea battles in the Pacific and the triumph of the Berlin Airlift. “I was the one looking through the telescopic sights. One guy moved the gun side to side — the guy who moved it up and down was a pointer. Had to work together to keep the crosshairs on the target. When we were in combat — when we got our crosshair — I’d squeeze the trigger. We’d practice every day. It was an unspoken communication. The gun captain would tell you what the target was and the two of you just worked in unison.” The Shaw somehow survived the terrible damage off Cape Gloucester, although it took two days of relentless struggle to make it back into a safe port. Two of the fearsome “Val” dive bombers struck home, wounding 33 sailors and killing three others. “We made it back into a destroy tender — the bobbin,” said Moore. “We still had wooden decks — that was a lot of Navy ships in the ’20s and ’30s — we made it into her and they put some more pumps on. Our decks were almost in the water because we were so low in the water — they pumped the water out and they were able to put a patch where the hole was. So we went back to Hunters Point to get the holes re-

paired.” The little destroyer ultimately participated in some of the most ferocious naval engagements in history, including Guadalcanal, Saipan, Guam, the Battle of Leyte Gulf and the recapture of Manila. The ship repeatedly suffered damage from enemy fire and ran aground in deadly conditions twice. She rescued the crews of other sinking ships under fire and wound up with 11 battle stars, awarded for major engagements. Moore missed some of the early battles, like Guadalcanal in 1942, but then stayed with the Shaw to the end. But when Moore finally got into action in 1943, he didn’t realize he’d landed on a destroyer that would see more action than almost any other ship in the Pacific. Built in 1936 and refitted several times due to mechanical problems, the Shaw was in dry dock when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. A shell found the forward magazine, setting off a spectacular explosion that blew off the destroyer’s bow and made for one of the most famous photographs of the Pearl Harbor attacks. The Navy rebuilt the Shaw in time to participate in most of the major engagements in the terrible island-hopping campaigns as the U.S. Navy clawed its way from beachhead to beachhead back across the Pacific. Just 16 at the time of Pearl Harbor, Moore waited out the first year of the U.S. involvement of the war in a sweat to enlist. Finally at 17, he talked his parents into signing his enlistment papers. “At the time of Pearl Harbor, I lived in Rhode Island. I played football — I had been offered an athletic scholarship at Brown University,” said Moore, now 90 who retired to Payson more than 20 years ago. “But I wasn’t there — shortly after that I went into the military. I can remember Pearl Harbor so clearly. I went across the street and listened to the radio with the family that lived across the street — Mr. Barnes — I was a good friend of his, so I went and talked to him. It was unbelievable — my impression of it. Of course, at that time — all the young men were going down and volunteering for the Marine Corps, the Army, the Navy — everyone was just going down and volunteering right away. I had to wait until September of ’42.” He opted for the Navy, partly because as a Boy Scout, he’d sailed and run boats on Narragansett Bay. “The Navy tried to get me to be a corpsman — but everyone I knew who became a corpsman got killed. So I went aboard a de-

stroyer.” The Shaw also provided support for the lethal struggle to wrest control of Saipan from the Japanese, providing protection from airplanes and submarines for the invasion fleet and shelling the shore to support the three Marine and Army divisions in 1944. The U.S. wanted to establish airfields on Saipan from which the B-29 Superfortresses with a range of 1,500 miles could finally reach mainland Japan. The massive bombardment that proceeded the landings involved 15 battleships hurtling 165,000 shells, supported by the quick destroyers moving in close to shore with pinpoint support fire. The Japanese mounted a ferocious defense, which resulted in the Battle of the Philippine Sea, which cost the Japanese three carriers and hundreds of planes. Although now trapped, the Japanese garrison fought on with suicidal determination in a volcanic landscape with names like Hells Pocket, Purple Heart Ridge and Death Valley. The 30,000 Japanese launched massive banzai attacks, then held out in a network of caves. They died almost to the last man. The fighting also claimed the lives of at least 25,000 civilians, including 1,000 people who committed suicide and jumped from cliffs after the emperor decreed that such a death would earn them the
same place in the afterlife as soldiers. The struggle for the island claimed the lives of 2,949 of the 71,000 Americans who landed. Another 10,464 Americans were wounded — including Lee Marvin, later a famous actor. The Shaw also won perhaps the last naval engagement in the Pacific. That fight came as a Japanese destroyer made a run for the open ocean from Manila Bay as the American invasion fleet closed in. “We were patrolling outside Manila Bay when this Japanese destroyer came out. They were firing at us and the skipper closed to 5,000 yards. When he closed in, he gave the order fire at will — and we sunk it. That was the last surface engagement in War II.” The U.S. demobilized. The Navy decommissioned the Shaw on Oct. 2, 1945 and sent her to the scrap heap in July of 1946. But Moore stayed in the service, although he switched to the Air Force as a crew chief. That gave him a front row to the unfolding of another historical drama in 1948, the astonishing Berlin Airlift. The United States, Great Britain, France and the Soviet Union united to crush the scourge of Nazi Germany, but the Allies soon became enemies. CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

Larry Moore was among a group of American veterans invited to take an Honor Flight to Washington, D.C.
Honored for service FROM PAGE 6
The Soviets grabbed the eastern half of Germany, which included the capital of Berlin. But the Allies agreed to four different zones of occupation in the capital city, surrounded by areas controlled by the Russians. Seeking to drive the Allies out of Berlin and perhaps seize the rest of Germany, Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin cut off road and rail access to West Berlin, a city of 2 million. The Allies — led by the U.S. Air Force — mounted the most massive airlift in human history, a feat that initially seemed impossible. The U.S. and Great Britain pulled together almost every cargo plane they had and built up an airlift that made 200,000 flights in a year, delivering an average of 4,700 tons of food, fuel and other necessities every single day. Pilots and ground crews managed to keep the massive effort going, with a landing every few minutes. The dauntless pilots and crews led by men like Moore working around the clock even made a competition of it. On 16 April 1949, they delivered 12,941 tons of coal in 1,383 flights without a single accident. In that month, the airlift delivered 234,476 tons of supplies. Beaten, the Soviet Union abandoned the blockade. Moore went on to train crews for the Korean War and for the opening phases of the Vietnam War, before leaving the service to become an engineer. He lived quietly in the decades that followed. He worked on big construction projects and for utility companies. He raised his family, paid his taxes, but never made much of those years of danger and boredom — when everything seemed to matter so intensely. So he didn’t expect the call from the Honor Flight people, saying they hoped he would come along on a free flight to Washington, D.C. He would travel with other veterans and see national monuments, thanks to private donors seeking to honor veterans who have fought in all our wars. “What impressed me,” recalls Moore, moved again by the memory, “was when we got off the airplane in Baltimore and in Phoenix. Normally in an airport, people will have their suitcases and bump into you. But there was an aisle where people were lined up saying, ‘Thank you for your service’ and shaking hands. I never remember being thanked for my service like that. When we got off in Baltimore — there were a lot of military men — there was a female Air Force master sergeant I was talking to — and when we were walking down — I got on one of those moving walkways — just before I was about to step on it, she grabbed my arm and said, ‘Be careful.’ She had volunteered for the service to go down there and organize the military people.” The organizers also asked schoolchildren and service groups to write letters for the participants in the Honor Flight. He said the tour of the monuments was great — including many of the war memorials he’d never seen. But that wasn’t the high point. “I think it was the mail call that was the high point of the return trip. Everyone who got off the airplane area — they left the corridor for you to walk down through — saying ‘Thank you for your service,’ again. That was emotional. I looked at some of them. They had tears in their eyes.”

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A long-sought workplace change could be happening soon. Consider reworking your ideas and preparing a presentation just in case. A personal relationship takes a new turn. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your persuasiveness doesn’t really start to kick in until midweek. By then, you can count on having more supporters in your camp, including some you doubted would ever join you. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your workload is still high, but — good news! — you should start to see daylight by the week’s end. Reserve the weekend for fun and games with friends and loved ones. You deserve it. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Regardless of how frustrating things are, keep that “Crab” under control. A cutting comment you might think is apt right now will leave others hurting for a long time to come. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Be more sensitive to the emotions of loved ones who might feel left out while you’re stalking that new opportunity. Be sure to make it up to them this weekend. A nice surprise could be waiting. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) The gregarious Virgo rarely has a problem making new friends. But repairing frayed relationships doesn’t come easily. Still, if it’s what you want to do, you’ll find a way. Good luck. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) A misunderstanding with a partner or spouse needs to be worked out before it turns into something really nasty. Forget about your pride for now and make that first healing move. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Communication dominates the week. Work out any misunderstandings with co-workers. Also get back in touch with old friends and those family members you rarely see. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) As busy as your week is, make time for someone who feels shut out of your life. Your act of kindness could later prove to be more significant than you might have realized. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Congratulations. Your busy workweek leads to some very satisfying results. Sports and sporting events are high on your weekend activities aspect. Enjoy them with family and friends. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Your generosity of spirit reaches out once again to someone who needs reassurance. There might be problems, but keeping that line of communication open eventually pays off. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You are among the truth-seekers in the universe, so don’t be surprised to find yourself caught up in a new pursuit of facts to counter what you believe is an insidious exercise in lying. BORN THIS WEEK: You believe in loyalty and in keeping secrets. All things considered, you would probably make a perfect secret agent. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.
