TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS
CHRISTMAS IN NEW YORK
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the Way. Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh. Too soon for this tune? Not really, because the Christmas holidays are almost upon us. The best places to be for Christmas are probably Branson, Mo. and New York City or with your family on a cruise. Let’s talk about New York City this time. What makes New York so special at this time of year is gift shopping in the famous department stores where you can also watch the young children climb up on Santa’s knee to tell him what they want for Christmas. The expressions on the kid’s faces as they get on his lap are something special. You see some smiles, some frowns and even hear a KEN BROOKS few crying. Santa is usually in the toy store portion of the department stores and I really enjoy seeing the young ones tell Santa what they want for Christmas. I’m sure you do also. Entertainment is everywhere. The Christmas spectacular at Radio City Music Hall is a hot ticket every Christmas season with shows beginning in early November and continuing through New Year’s Day. This live stage show is famous the world over. Presented are actors dressed in period costumes with Santa and Santa’s helpers as well as singers, the Rockettes dancing troupe and a full orchestra in the pit. The large pipe organ is also heard and sometimes joins the orchestra in presenting Christmas music we all love and remember. This stage show is really a spectacular. All age groups love seeing it over and over. Ticket prices run from $48 to $245 per seat. If you can only see one live show, see this one. Broadway theatre continues to play this time of year. A few of the “hot” shows include “The Book of Mormon”, “Jersey Boys”, “The Lion King”, “Phantom of the Opera”, “Wicked”, and “Rock of Ages” to name a few. Don’t miss the Christmas lights at Rockefeller Center. Here, you can ice skate, enjoy lunch, photograph the decorations and visit the “Top of the Rock” for photos of the city from the observation deck. Only a few blocks away is the southern portion of Central Park which is beautiful this time of year. If weather permits, take a horse driven carriage ride through the park. It’s worth the expense. Should you have snow while there, it will make the city feel more like Christmas with all the decorations. If you can, plan ahead and write for free tickets to see some of the TV shows which originate in the city. The “Tonight Show” is only one. If weather permits, stand outside the windows of ABC-TV at Times Square and you might be seen on national TV between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. as they produce “Good Morning America” weekdays as well as the “Today Show” outside the windows

If you are lucky enough to spend part of the holiday season in New York City - and the weather cooperates - make sure to treat yourself to a ride through Central Park in a horse-drawn carriage.
of NBC-TV at Rockefeller Center next to studio l-A on the ground floor. You might also enjoy a tour of NBC radio and television located within what used to be called the RCA Building. It may today be called the Radio City Building. Where to stay? My suggestion is somewhere in the Theatre District or in a hotel in the 40’s, 50, or 60’s portion of Manhattan. You can choose from high-end to budget hotels. Nothing is cheap in New York City! I suggest using a travel agent or one of the on-line travel agencies to book your hotel. You will enjoy peeking into the brilliant holiday windows at Bloomingdales, Lord & Taylor as well as Macy’s on 34th street. You will also enjoy the swanky stores such as Tiffany & Company. The City literally sparkles at this time of year. The shops located at Columbus Circle are where many native New Yorkers shop and you might enjoy shopping here. The nightclub scene is popular and for information on where to go, your hotel tourist desk can give you suggestions. Be sure to include a tour to the Statue of Liberty as well as the World Trade Center’s
new skyscraper. Think about booking a tour of Manhattan that will show you the highlights of the city and then you can more easily plan the following days here. Don’t forget to check out what’s playing at Lincoln Center during the days you plan to be there. There will be special live Christmas concerts, the New York Philharmonic Orchestra as well as the Metropolitan Opera. New York City offers more than 5,000 restaurants for your selection. From hamburgers and hot dogs to steaks, prime rib, and wonderful ethnic kitchens of Asia, Africa, Italy, Spain and almost every country on this planet. Some are small, others quite large. There is even a city tour that will show you various areas where movies have been filmed. Interested? Many are. Let’s not forget taking an elevator to the top of the Empire State Building permitting excellent views of the city The concierge at your hotel will be happy to give you ideas as to what to see and do while here and can also book tours and the-
atre tickets. They won’t charge you for this service. If you are planning to stay in New York for New Year’s, the city probably does the best job of welcoming the New Year with fantastic celebrations. Several airlines fly direct from Phoenix to New York City. Don’t wait too long before you book. The seats are filling fast. Earlier, we mentioned that Branson, Mo. was also a wonderful place to visit during the Christmas holidays. Here is a selection of many live theatres that will be producing special holiday shows on stage featuring fine casts of musicians and singers along with some comedy to make you feel good. Branson now has an airport close by making it easier to get to. There are several fine hotels here, which will also be properly decorated for the season. If you are not able to visit New York City or Branson there will be several Christmas specials on TV from the stages of these cities so you won’t be totally left out. Christmas and New Year’s is a special time of year for almost everyone. Let’s totally enjoy these days hopefully with family if you are not traveling.

RIM HISTORY RIM HISTORY RIM COUNTRY HISTORY | TIM EHRHARDT
One of the forgotten: George Baecht The written history of Rim Country is filled with people whose stories seem to be told frequently; names like Haught, Pieper, Boardman, and Randall. But what about those who haven’t been written about? Sometimes, they’re people who spent only a year or two in the area, whose name can be seen old records such as business directories. Sometimes though they patented land on which subdivisions now sit, but not much else is known about. George Baecht is one of those. Here is a look at Baecht and the Country Club Vista subdivision. On November 22, 1922 George Baecht received the patent to 157.81 acres in Gila County. The land is in the northwest part of Payson, north of the Payson Country Club and west of the airport. But at the time it was about two miles northwest of Payson, which was a small town of approximately 150 people, centered where Main Street meets McLane Road. What brought Baecht to this area is unknown. He applied for the patent in 1917, yet is mentioned in a March 22, 1914 Arizona Republican article as having a patent application “favorably acted upon” within the Tonto National Forest during January and February of that year. His location is listed
as Roosevelt. millions worldwide. He also made no mention of a Baecht’s younger daughter Jo previous application in Tonto married Bryan Harrison on Nov. when applying for the 157.81 acres. 15, 1916 in Payson.

Country Club Vista subdivision in the late 1950s. The plat for unit 1 was recorded on May 5, 1959. The subdivision was initially marketed by Bill Miller and Associates and consists of approximately quarter-acre lots. One ad for the subdivision from 1966 touted “cabin sites among the trees overlooking beautiful Birch Mesa. Sweeping mountain views of Rim country. Just 5 minutes drive from Payson Country Club and golf course.” The remainder of the land wasn’t developed until the early 1970s when the Country Club Ranchos subdivision and its multi-acre lots were platted and sold. There is more of George Baecht’s story to be told. What did he look like? What brought him to this place? It is an incomplete picture at this point. The land he patented has seen many changes and has many more that it will see. For a long time this parcel was an island of private land amongst forest service. Slowly though, private land has crept closer and private land now abuts the eastern edge. While it is mostly empty now, eventually subdivisions will likely be built there, perhaps along with some commercial uses. Just as what we know about Baecht is a work in progress, so is his land.
Big body count, excellent acting, good production values FROM PAGE 4
Vigo, the Russian Mafia boss sums up John Wick’s nature when he tells his henchman “In a bar I once saw him kill three men - with a pencil.” That just about covers the build up of the Wick character. He kills with single-minded ferocity, but we have no idea why he decided to go on a massive killing spree. Sure, when a bad guy steals his prized car and kills his dog, it angers him. But killing 78 bad guys in various ways seems excessive. Maybe professional hit men get PTSD. But Keanu Reeves pulls it off. Any film with a 119 body count has the danger of be-
coming, wittingly or not, a parody of itself. “John Wick” just skirts that danger. At all times, we sympathize with the perhaps deranged killer and hope he will avoid, escape or at least survive his plight. The rest of the script mostly provides bad guys to be killed and different and gradually more severe injuries for John himself to contend with. No real life crime lord could have so many functionaries willing to die or could afford to lose so many. We have great fun though to see the athletic Reeves do his thing. And Reeves has a bunch of excellent actors backing him up. In spite of the carnage this is a serious movie with serious actors doing good work. Besides Reeves the likes

of Willem Dafoe, Ian McShane and John Leguizamo have strong supporting roles. In smaller roles we have Dean Winters, who most of us will remember from his hilarious All State insurance ads where he appears as Mayhem. Two vets from the amazing HBO series “The Wire” - Lance Reddick and Clarke Peters - prove that they still have the ability to make a tiny role memorable. Alfie Allen, who plays Theon Greyjoy in the fabulous “Game of Thrones” plays a similar role in “John Wick” as the feckless, brutal, cowardly son of a powerful man.

both co-directed and co-produced. Derek Kolstad wrote the screenplay. He has two other writing credits. A well deserved “R” rating for “John Wick” we can blame on the massive body count, constant blood splatter and general violence. “John Wick” got $20 million for a production budget and has just about broken even with a world wide gross of $40 million and counting. We give it an average three saw blades only for the excellent acting and good production values, not the realism or overall conception. The film lasts for only one hour and 36 minutes.

COVER STORY | MICHELE NELSON
Pete Aleshire photos
Writer Michele Nelson (above) inspects some of the ancient petroglyphs. Later, she took a break with her parents, Karen and Cal Nelson (at right).
Seeking a rock – forging a tribe My mom hopped out of the Jeep. “It’s OK ... the rock must be close to here ... I can just walk. No, really, I’ll just walk,” she said, a touch of panic creeping into her voice. My heart sank — I had terrified my mom. The last thing I ever wanted to do. My mom, dad, me, Tonto Basin institution John Dryer and Roundup editor Pete Aleshire had set out on a Jeep journey to find what locals call the “Indian Post Office” (piles of petroglyphs) and a rock that pioneer settler Julian Journigan chiseled his name on in 1906. I fretted about whether my over 70-yearold parents would enjoy the trip, despite their love of adventure. In truth, they’d rather find a cozy hotel than a snug campsite. Yet Dryer said he had done the trip before. He assured me it was just a few dips and bumps up the dirt road from a friend’s Tonto Basin ranch. “It’s an easy trip. We can do it in a morning,” he had said. Should have known better, as Dryer’s wife Carol did. She didn’t come along on this trip because she knows Dryer has a penchant for pushing the envelope on adventures. But he’s always safe, has a cooler with lots of water and food, cans of fix-a-flat and insists on a second Jeep coming along “just in case.” Aleshire fits that bill. He’s been on pretty much every track in Arizona working for Arizona Highways in his trusty blue Jeep. But a wrong turn while searching for
Journigan’s rock brought us smack-dab into a slope littered with boulders daunting even for a Jeep. My mom held on bravely as Dryer charged up the slope, but when the Jeep jerked to a halt and started rolling backward, she’d had enough. Inwardly I groaned. I know how my mom despises stress and situations out of her control. I’ve always tried so hard to make things smooth for her. Every Thanksgiving, she suffered a holiday stress attack, determined to produce the perfect holiday for everyone else. She scrubbed every baseboard and hunted down every mote of dust before polishing the silver to perfection. My efforts to chop and clean and assist never quite seemed to be enough. But now playing host, I figured I’d planned a fun, easy trip with just a touch of excitement. I thought she could just sit in the passenger seat and simply enjoy the day. No such luck. I sat in the back of the Jeep, my chest constricting in angst. “I don’t remember this being so difficult,” Dryer mumbled. He had locked the Jeep’s brakes and hopped out to examine the barely visible tire tracks ahead of us wandering off amongst the boulders. Blessedly, the beauty of the place didn’t allow me time to wallow in my anxiety. It was mid-October and the flowers from the season’s unusually wet monsoon carpeted the slope with a dazzling yellow. We’d reached our point of rugged bewilderment off of Forest Road 71 at the base of
the Sierra Anchas after passing through several cattle gates, only to wind up stalled out on a slope of boulders. We’d found no trace of the pictoglyph site called the post office nor Journigan rock. My mom loves history, so I thought finding the rock of tough-as-nails pioneer Journigan would tickle her fancy. Journigan was among the first settlers in the area — and now his name remains attached to a historic and reportedly haunted restaurant on Payson’s Main Street. Born in Flagstaff, Journigan grew up with his grandparents on a ranch in Tonto Basin. In his early 20s, Journigan went to work for the Forest Service. The year Journigan carved his name on the rock, the Forest Service had instituted radical new policies to mitigate the environmental damage done by unregulated overgrazing. The Forest Service was founded in 1905 to care for the vast tracks of federal land the government owned. When settlers first arrived in Arizona, an ocean of grass covered the hills of Rim Country and federal policies encouraged settlers to homestead farms and ranches. However, the 160 acres that could support a whole herd of cattle in the Midwest could never sustain a rancher in the drought-prone West. Cows consumed about 30 pounds of grass every day. So ranchers would settle near a creek, make improvements then let their cows out to forage at will over thousands of acres. In the late summer, the ranchers would then roundup all the cattle and split them
according to brands. That system worked well, until cattle investors, such as the Hashknife crew out of Texas, dumped millions of cattle onto the land. They grazed it to nothing just in time for the historic drought of 1891-92 killed about half the cattle in the state — perhaps 750,000. It also worked permanent changes in the grasslands. The federal government had a serious mess on its hands. So, the Forest Service decided instead of allowing ranchers to let their cows freeroam, they would fence off tracks of land, lease them to ranchers and control the numbers of cattle. Enter Julian Journigan. He started fencing up the land soon after starting to work with the Forest Service. Near the area of the harrowing rockstrewn slope we precariously perched upon, Journigan and his fellow Forest Service buddies set up a base camp to string up fence. Maybe during the long evenings, Journigan decided to mimic the ancient peoples who tapped off the desert varnish on the rocks to leave petroglyphs scattered about his work area. But instead of a mysterious spiral, a bighorn sheep, scorpions, hunters or lizards, Journigan etched his name and the year — 1906. But in our search for the rock, we had completely lost our way. Now I had pushed my mom’s anxiety button and I imagined the whole day ruined, so I sat in the Jeep. CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

John Dryer acted as the tour guide for the Jeep trip.
The adventure from a wrong turn FROM PAGE 6
Ever the intrepid leader, Dryer pushed ahead to get up the slope. My dad and Aleshire popped out of their Jeep to dig out a boulder blocking our way. Satisfied with his work, Dryer returned to the Jeep, revved the engine and charged up the hill. Then came a moment of decision. Would Mom get back in the Jeep? I held my breath. “Come on in Karen, the way looks much better,” said Dryer with charming confidence. It worked. Mom got in and we headed up through a Wizard of Oz carpet of yellow flowers. As we drove, I started breathing again, watching my mother gasp in pleasure at the beauty of the drive. “Do you think the rock is ahead?” she asked Dryer. “I don’t remember this, but it’s got to be awful close,” said Dryer, who in his Vietnam Marine Corps days served as an air traffic controller for carrier-based Marine Corps F-4 phantom pilots. Surely, he’d get us home safely. We tootled along in bliss, snapping photos of the yellow flowers until ... the road abruptly ended at the edge of a cliff. “Well, I’ll be,” said Dryer, climbing out and standing on the cliff edge. “I’ve never been here before.” Then he started to hum; his way of working out stress. Mom didn’t care, she exclaimed at the view out over Roosevelt Lake and beyond. “It’s stunning!” she said in an anxiety free voice. Unfazed, Dryer told us we’d found Fagarway Point. “What?” asked Mom. Dryer told the story of a hapless Indian scout with a haphazard sense of direction.
After wandering last in the wilderness, the Army captain asked, “What tribe did you say you come from?” “The Fagarway tribe,” came the answer. “Fagarway?” asked Mom. John grinned and said it slowly: “As in the, ‘Where-thef*ck-are-we’ tribe. “Guess we’ve been inducted into that tribe then,” said my mom. We all guffawed at her cleverness. The tightness of my chest loosened. I’d given my mom a good time. We turned around and headed back down the hill resigned to not finding the Journigan rock. Suddenly, Dryer pointed out the missing fence posts and we found the rock — back on the safe side of that terrible stretch of road. In fact, turns out we’d stopped for a snack right beside the pictoglyph site on the way up. So we marveled at the 700-year-old rock art, etched into dozens of boulders and slabs of stone. Others had come this way and left signs of their passing — no doubt that included a few mothers with their daughters trying to work out their relationship. I decided to end the day with a bit of comfort for my parents so I took them to The Journigan House restaurant for a lovely steak, live music and a chance to examine all the photos of the original settlers, including Julian Journigan. As Mom wandered around lapping up the history, I heard her whisper to my dad, “You know, that was the kind of trip you only get to go on if you’re invited.” I sighed with relief. My mom only remembered the good times.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) There could be an unexpected change in plans for your upcoming holiday travels. But keep in mind that a little flexibility goes a long way in resolving any disappointments. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A new relationship might not be responding quite as quickly as you’d hoped. Could you be expecting too much too soon? Try to ease up and let things happen at their own pace. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) As we approach the frenetic pace of pre-holiday planning, take time out now to reconnect with the wonderful people who share your life, especially the one who also shares your dreams. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A misunderstanding should be resolved before you get caught up in the flurry of holiday preparations. Set your pride aside and deal with it, regardless of who might have hurt whom first. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Being told that a colleague might have been trying to undercut your effectiveness might or might not be true. Get all the facts before you even think about acting on this so-called information. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) It’s a good idea to start your holiday preparation plans early in order to avoid a time crunch if an unresolved workplace situation causes a problem. That old friend might have some welcome news. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) A family member’s actions continue to surprise you, but this time with positive results. Could be your wise counsel finally got through. It’s like having an early holiday gift, isn’t it? SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Your reluctance to act in a current situation could be traced to your inner self advising you to take more time to study its complexities before you attempt to deal with it. Good luck. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Soothing hurt feelings before they can ignite an angry outburst is the wise thing to do. And, of course, when it comes to doing the “wisdom thing,” you do it so well. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Budget your time so that you can handle both your workplace duties and your personal holiday planning — including travel arrangements — without burning out on either end. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You might find that you still need to firm up one or two of those still-outstanding decisions so that you finally can move forward as you had planned. Weigh the facts, then act. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You usually don’t carry grudges, but you might feel this is one time when you’re justified in doing so. But aren’t you spending too much energy holding onto it? Let it go and move on. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of using your quiet strength to persuade people to follow their better instincts and do the right thing. ©2014 King Features Synd., Inc.
