to celebrate the First Annual
Amazing Earthfest Celebration, hap-
pening May 21-26, 2007 in Kanab,
Utah. Here travelers will discover, learn
from and celebrate national and state
parks, national forests and public
lands of the Colorado plateau located in
Utah and Arizona.
Kanab plans to establish, host and
support this broadly inclusive event
each year in May, fostering education,
scientific discovery and understanding,
plus recreation and entertainment. The
ultimate goal is to attract visitors from
across the nation and abroad to Kane
County for the purpose of experiencing
the National Parks and Public Lands
that were recently described by Sunset

Vail’s Art in Public

UN
announce the national debut
of “The Windmill Project,” the
much-anticipated large-scale visual
sculpture that converts wind into light.
The sculpture is made up of 2,700 cus-
tom-made windmills that have been
installed on a hillside above the 17th
green at the Vail Golf Course.
Movements of the wind create dramatic
waves of light across the hillside. After
the opening, AIPP coordinator Leslie
Fordham commented, “At times it was
like a giant birthday cake covered in can-
dles. Then gusts would blow across the
sculpture and create vertical glow sticks
of light. It was spectacular.”
To view the exhibit, AIPP offers the
following tips:
• Dress appropriately for the weather
and wear waterproof boots or bring snow-
shoes or Nordic skis.
• Park at the Golf Course parking lot
and hike out to the site by following the
landscape lights on the sleigh track.
• Begin looking for the windmill lights
when you’re parallel with the houses at
the east end of Sunburst Drive. This is
about a five-minute walk.
• Stay on the path.

Magazine as “dramatic.”
Visitors can choose from a wide
variety of activities including lectures
and demonstrations, scientific and edu-
cational symposia, Native American
and Pioneer cultural programs, guided
backcountry trips, expeditions and musi-
cal performances. Additional activities
include exhibitions of visual arts, paint-

• Views from the frontage road are pos-
sible, but not always optimum unless the
wind is blowing intensely.
• The windmills light up when the
wind exceeds 5 mph. Check the wind
velocity on the town’s web site at www.
vailgov.com.
The Windmill Project was chosen by
AIPP because of its natural connection
to Vail as a living piece of environmental
art. The kinetic qualities of the artwork,
the glowing lights, large size of the
installation and the fact that the artist
had wind energy in mind when he first
conceived of the windmills to “reveal the
shape of the wind” all appealed to AIPP
in the selection of Patrick Marold to stage
the first public exhibition of this unique
and exciting visual art event.

Ranch. This is a working ranch love having these majestic, powerful

nestled against Picacho Peak and
features not only ostriches but also deer
and Lorikeets. The English Fallow deer
are beautiful, gentle and
people-friendly. Children
of all ages love to pet
them and feed them right
out of their hands.
The newest addition to
the ranch is the Rainbow
Lorikeet Forest. From
the parrot family, these
birds are often called
“monkeys with feathers”
because of their enter-
taining, interactive nature with people.
It is truly an amazing experience as
these brightly colored birds land on you
and eat nectar right out of a cup you
hold. Make sure to bring your camera
as you will understand where the name
“Rainbow Lorikeet” comes from when
you see their beautiful colors.
Now let’s head to the ostriches. There
are 700 ostriches to amuse you as you
watch them crane their necks to try and
steal your cup of feed. Thrill seekers
birds eat right from their hands, but for
the more conservative there are feed
chutes that make feeding these big birds
safe and easy for every-
one. They are fascinating
to watch and love to pose
for pics.
Many different ostrich
products are available at
the ranch such as ostrich
eating eggs, shells, feath-
er dusters, ostrich oil, and
souvenirs.
This exciting attraction
is found as you travel on
I-10, between Tucson and Phoenix, AZ.
Leave the interstate at Exit 219 and take
the frontage road southeast one mile

Ranch. Open daily from 9-5:30 Jan.

Old Tucson Studios
The Old West Meets New Adventures
In 1939, Columbia
Pictures chose a county-
I LE
OF
owned site near the spectacular
PR
Saguaro National Park outside
Tucson, Arizona on which to build
50 structures replicating 1860s Tucson
for the western epic “Arizona” starring
William Holden and Jean Arthur. The
$2.5 million movie created a new stan-
dard of realism for Hollywood westerns.
A star was born... Old Tucson Studios!
The subsequent stampede of mov-
ies filmed at Old Tucson Studios
includes such famous westerns as
“McLintock!” “Rio Bravo,” “Rio Lobo,”
and “El Dorado” starring John Wayne;
“Hombre” in 1966, “The Life and Times
of Judge Roy Bean” in 1972, both star-
ring Paul Newman; and “Tombstone” in
1993 with Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer,
just to name a few.
With each film, Old Tucson Studios’
sets grew. More than 350 major motion
pictures and video productions have
been shot here, and some of the big-
gest screen legends in Hollywood have
filmed in our historic buildings and
Wild West backdrops. Watch a classic
western film on television, and you just

might catch a glimpse of the glory of
Old Tucson Studios.
In addition to Old Tucson Studios,
the company also operates Mescal, a
western town built as a set in 1969 and
surrounded by open prairie land near
Benson, Arizona. Through the lens of a
camera, Old Tucson Studios has shaped
the world’s perception of the Old West!
In addition to its historic role as a
film location, Old Tucson Studios is
southern Arizona’s premier outdoor
entertainment venue with a full array
of live shows, thrilling stunts, Old
West dramas, saloon musicals, trail
rides, and fun for the whole family.
More than 350,000 people visit the
park each year to retrace the footsteps
of their favorite Hollywood stars and
spend a day in the life of an 1880s west-
ern town.
In addition to its permanent Old West
attractions, Old Tucson Studios offers
an exciting year-round line-up of
events including major concerts, fes-
tivals, sporting events, and children’s
activities. Come by every Saturday to
April 28th for Rough Stock Rodeo- see

adventures each day.

Resident bald eagles, Black &

Watching these birds of prey parent

be treasured for a lifetime.
The two new eaglets hatched

Their father, Decker, was born and

1989. Decker’s father, “The Wiz,” was
so named by Arizona Fish & Game

to the one-quarter mile self-guided
Peninsula Petroglyph Trail and the
Ultimate Petroglyph Trail, which
are opportunities for exploring the
petroglyph-covered boulders, and the
Rattlesnake Point Pueblo Trail leading to
a 14th Century ruin.
Rattlesnake Point Pueblo was a medi-
um-sized village that was home to about
15 families between AD 1325 and 1390.
It was one story tall and had between 80
and 90 rooms. The pueblo was built and
occupied by the ancestors of the Hopi.
Tours are available through the Ranger
Station on a seasonal basis.
Historic villages, including Rattlesnake
Point Pueblo, and the Lyman Lake rock
art have continuing significance to con-
temporary Hopi people. We ask that you
help preserve these important pieces of
heritage.
The Ultimate Petroglyph Trail on the
east side of the lake can only be accessed
by boat. Tours are available through the
Ranger Station beginning in May.

Unique shops, galleries and annual festivals
draw many others seeking to relax in the cool

fect destination for an economical family
camping get-away. There are four nice
cozy “camping log cabins” available
for $50 per night through a reservation
system. Cabins at Lyman are heated and
designed to sleep four persons with an
extra cot for more children. Toilets, hot
showers, and electricity are available but
campers must bring bedding, cookware
and tableware. Tents and RVs may be
erected next to the cabins to increase
capacity for families on the site.
Lyman Lake also has yurts that you
can reserve now for $35. Yurts have
been home for millions of people in
Central Asia for several millennia. The
round design is proving just as well
suited for use in Arizona’s climate. On
clear nights, yurt campers can lie in
their sleeping bags to view the abundant
display of stars visible through the open
roof, yet even on wet or cold nights the
yurt’s interior is dry, secure and solid.
The park is located 11 miles south of
St. Johns on US 191.
St. Johns
Located on State Hwy 61, St. Johns is noted
for its Equestrian Center, which hosts horse
shows, camps and clinics. Also in St. Johns is
the Apache County Historical Museum with
early pioneer settler, native and prehistoric
exhibits.
White Mountain Apache Reservation
Hon-Dah Resort Casino is just minutes
south of Pinetop-Lakeside. About 30 minutes
south of Hon-Dah on State Hwy 73 is Fort
Apache. Established in 1870 and abandoned
in 1922, the fort boasts the remains of General
Crook’s headquarters, officer’s quarters, barns
and a cemetery. Also located on the grounds
are prehistoric ruins, petroglyphs and the

Warm Weather Means Hot Fishing Outdoor Fun for Kids and Adults
Check Out These Locations!
The recent spate of warm
NG
weather has turned on the
I
BIT
’RE
bite for bass and crappie at cen-
EY
TH
tral Arizona lakes like Roosevelt,
Bartlett and Pleasant, and also at
Alamo, northwest of Wickenburg.
Spring fishing is improving daily at
Lake Powell. The anticipated
movement of stripers into
the main channel near Glen
Canyon Dam is just beginning.
Striper schools are moving
from the backs of the canyons
to the deep water and back
again.
Rose Canyon Lake, in
southern Arizona’s Santa
Catalina Mountains, is full, in
good condition, and has been
stocked. The access road is
closed until late April, but anglers will-
ing to make the hike to the lake should
find some good fishing.
With the warm weather, some of the
high country lakes are reported to be
ice-free, although others are still iced
over. Anglers up at Ashurst Lake, south
of Flagstaff, report the lake is open
and some nice rainbow trout are being
caught.
www.azgfd.gov
Warming temperatures also signal
the spring stocking changeover from
trout to catfish at Urban Fishing
Program waters. All designated urban
lakes and ponds in the Phoenix and
Tucson areas were stocked
with 15- to 20-inch channel
catfish in late March.
Catfish will continue to be
stocked on an every-other-
week basis through June.
Nearly 14,000 pounds of
Arkansas farm-raised catfish
will be delivered and stocked
into 19 urban lakes each time.
Arizona’s Urban Fishing
Program provides city resi-
dents with fishing opportuni-
ties in town, as a convenient alternative
to long-distance travel to lakes outside
of the metropolitan areas. An urban
fishing license is required. The license
costs $18.50, is valid for the remainder
of the calendar year, and can be pur-
chased at license dealers, Arizona Game
and Fish Department offices or online.

The Pascua Yaqui Tribe
A Strong and Vibrant Identity
by Charlis McVey
I LE
The Yaquis lived for
F
RO
LP
centuries in the valleys around
IB A
the Hiaki River in Sonora,
TR
Mexico. In 1517 the Spanish invaded
Mexico. They conquered the Aztecs
in 1521 and reached Yaqui territory in
1533. There the battle-hardened Spanish
soldiers found such fierce warriors that
they were forced to retreat.
Few ventured into Yaqui lands. Even
the missionaries, who were set up all
over northern Mexico, did not enter
Yaqui territory. Eventually, in 1617,
Spanish Jesuit Andrews Perez de
Ribas was invited by the Yaquis to tell
them about Christianity.
The Yaquis never considered them-
selves a conquered people and continued
to fight unwanted intrusions into their
territory. Periodically the government
military forces overwhelmed Yaqui
communities, committed massacres and
sent men and even young children to be
sold as slave labor. Fleeing persecu-
tion, Yaquis began to migrate to the
United States in the late 19th century.
Initially attracted by work on
the railroads that linked the US and
Mexico, the Yaquis began moving to job
sites in Arizona. The first settlements
were near Nogales and south Tucson
and gradually spread out to include
Guadalupe, near Phoenix. Yaqui men
also worked on ranches, in the mines
and cotton fields and in construction.
Hiaki (Pascua Yaqui) Lenten Ceremonies 2007
March 31st An all-day and night ceremo-
ny with the Deer Dancer and the
Pahkolam.
April 1st Palm Sunday - Procession of
Christ into Jerusalem 11 am, Palm
distribution.
April 6th Good Friday - The
Crucifixion of Christ (dusk) followed by
processions and vigils throughout the day
until midnight.
April 7th “La Gloria” Ceremony fol-
lowed by all-night vigil and traditional
dances, 12 noon.
April 8th Easter Sunday - Matachin
dance the Maypole 6 am, Mass 7 am and
final procession 11 am.
The Easter ceremony starts on Ash
Wednesday and continues every weekend
until Easter Sunday. Keep in mind that this
celebration is not to be taken
as a show; participants in the ceremony take
this time very seriously and do not take
kindly to outsiders displaying disrespectful
behavior. No photos, video or audio record-
ings are allowed. Also, no drinking of any
alcoholic drinks is allowed.
There are many Hiaki communities in
Arizona but they come together and
participate at five Hiaki churches. The loca-
tion of these churches are as
follows:
Pascua Yaqui Administrative Office: 520-883-5000
In 1964 Congressman Morris K.
Udall introduced a bill in Congress for
the transfer of 202 acres of desert land
southwest of Tucson to the Yaquis, who
were looking for a home where they
could keep their tribal identity. This
was approved; however the Yaquis had
to wage a long and difficult battle to
secure federal recognition for the tribe,
which they finally obtained in 1978.
During all these struggles for self-
determination the Yaqui cultural tradi-
tions thrived. Easter is an important
time in the tribal calendar. Flowers are
important to the Yaquis’ daily lives
and to their ceremonies. They combine
ancient beliefs with the newer belief that
Christ’s grace is symbolized by flowers
that grew from blood shed by Jesus on
the cross. Flowers are a symbol often
seen in embroidered designs on tradi-
tional Yaqui clothes.
The Pascua Yaqui Tribe, who call
themselves Hiakim, today numbers
more than 14,000 members. More than
4,000 live on the reservation southwest
of Tucson. Like many other Native
American groups they have used the
opportunity of Indian gaming as a wel-
come source of revenue to improve the
reservation’s infrastructure and to devel-
op businesses. They operate the Casino
of the Sun and the Casino del Sol.

Sacred Mountain Prayer Run
Benefits Runners and Community Services Agency
On June 2, 2007 the 24th
Annual Sacred Mountain
IN
Prayer Run will take place at
IN
JO
Thorpe Park in Flagstaff against
the backdrop of the San Francisco
Peaks, sacred mountains to the neigh-
boring tribes. The challenging course
maintains an altitude of approximately
7,000 feet from start to finish as it
weaves through unpaved dirt and cin-
der trails within the Coconino National
Forest.
“Prayer runs” were initiated by Native
Americans as a means of “putting feet”
to prayers as a tradition, in other words
putting “action to our prayers.” A prayer
run also serves as a purification pro-
cess for the runner. Native American
teachings say that The Creator will
look kindly on and bless those who are
not lazy, those who will take that extra
step in helping himself and others. The
steep hill that runners must face mirrors
the difficult times and struggles we all
endure in our lives.
The Native Americans for Community
Action (NACA) Sacred Mountain Prayer
Run was begun in order to honor the

days of the ceramic medium.
Functional, decorative -- here in the
Southwest we probably think mainly
of Mexican ceramic floor tile. But what
about Indian tile making?
Arizona State Museum presents an
exhibition highlighting the exquisite tile-
making traditions among the Puebloan
peoples of the Southwest: Clay2:
Southwest Indian Pottery Tiles, March
16 – October 14, 2007.
Hopis have been particularly prolific
tile makers since the late 19th century.
About 1885, Hopi potters began to pro-
duce pocket-sized, decorated flat tiles
to sell to visitors who were arriving in
increasing numbers via the Santa Fe
Railroad. The success of this market
inspired potters from the Rio Grande
Pueblos of New Mexico to experi-
ment with their own interpretations of
the form. By 1902, the Fred Harvey
Company began selling tiles in its curio
shops all along the Santa Fe Trail.
Over the past 60 years, Native artists
from many Southwest communities have
continued to craft a great variety of tile
styles and decorations. As with all of the
dynamic Native artistic traditions, tile
making can reflect traditional approach-
es, materials, techniques and designs, but
it can also express modern inventiveness
and contemporary motifs.
Each one is a wonderful little self-
928-526-2968
fact that the San Francisco Peaks
are sacred, especially to the Hopi
and Navajo tribes. They believe that
the Holy Ones and Kachinas make the
peaks their dwelling place or “home.”
Medicine people and elders of the tribes
come to the peaks to offer prayer and
perform sacred ceremonies.
The run consists of 10K and 5K
Prayer Runs and a 2-K Fun Run/
Walk. On-site registration at Thorpe
Park takes place from 6-7 am. The race
begins at 7:30 am. Pre-registration at a
reduced rate may be received until June
1, 2007.
The proceeds from the event will
assist clients of NACA to successfully
complete the agency’s programs. NACA
is the only body to offer the following
range of services for Native Americans
in Flagstaff: Adult Education, Economic
Development, Primary Health Care
Services, Mental Health Services,
Pathways for Youth, Substance Abuse
Prevention/Education, Tobacco
Education and Workforce Development.

Director Lomawaima characterizes tiles
as “snapshots” and “Native Polaroids.”
The delightful exhibition Clay2:
Southwest Indian Pottery Tiles includes
specimens from Arizona State Museum’s
own collection as well as several on loan
from Pat and Kim Messier, co-authors of
a book entitled Hopi and Pueblo Tiles.

one place... now they can look to
National RV Central.
The cornerstone for this concept was
placed by Bob Schoff, thirty years in the
storage business. Imagine a climate-con-
trolled, indoor, high-security facility
for people who worry about such matters
as bird droppings, pack rats and vandal-
ism committed upon very expensive in-
vestments. They should rightfully worry.
Every day in the unprotected environs of
the American Southwest another RV is
lost.
The relentless sun dries out another
rubber roof. Replacement is the only
cure. Plastic parts like trim moulding,
rain gutters and cargo door latches be-
come so brittle they practically crumble.
Expensive tires normally have an ap-
proximate life span of seven years. Not
here.
Add to that acidified bird droppings
that cook ugly spots into the finish.
That’s a fairly expensive repair. Or
maybe the only harm to your RV is the
less than careful driver who hits your
coach or fifth-wheel while leaving your
lot and keeps on going.
Now consider the brain child known as
National RV Central where there is more
going on than mere storage. Climate-con-
trolled means extended life for all com-
ponents of your RV, inside and out. High
security means no vandalism or theft, all
because of motion-sensored surveillance
technology and locked, alarmed access.
Plus, the Facility Manager lives on–site.
Resources available include a touch-
less, brushless wash system supple-
mented by one of the best pre-wash
preparation procedures found anywhere.
And there’s no need to disconnect your
second vehicle.
Valet driving reduces liability and
damages to zero. (Acts of God and the
unavoidable will happen anywhere,
however.)
Our independent on-site service &
repair facility is owned by a man who
knows pretty much everything about
RV’s and handles warranties, CSP’s and
insurance matters. Top that off with a
mini-convenience retail store, sani-
transfer station and propane (coming
soon) and the job is done.
We’re here for you. Monday through
Saturday, 9 am to 5 pm at 6260 N. Travel
Center Drive in Marana, AZ. Just take
the Sunset exit #251 from I-10 West or
Orange Grove # 250 if headed East. If
you have questions, please call anytime.
We care about you. Come on by and see
what we’re all about.
in love with charming, historic
Williams, with its shops, restau-
rants, and friendly atmosphere while
enjoying cool summertime tempera-
tures. We are located adjacent to the
tracks of the historic Grand Canyon
Railway. Get your cameras ready to
photograph the vintage locomotive as
it passes by the park on its way to the
Grand Canyon.
Williams also boasts a first-rate
golf course, hiking, fishing, hunting,
biking, skiing, and a host of other
year-round recreational activities.
When you’re not busy exploring this
fascinating area, relax in our club-
house, let the children romp in the
playground, or just join us on the deck
for fabulous Arizona sunsets. The
Railside RV Ranch is the perfect hub
for your Grand Canyon and Northern
Arizona experience.
Plan on spending more time with
us, as you’ll fall in love with our
beautiful mountain views and the
extraordinary friendliness of our
quaint, historic community. In fact,
many of our guests arrive for just a
few days, but wind up spending much
more time than they had intended!
The shops and galleries of Williams,
set among interesting and colorful
restaurants, can charm you for hours
on end.
If you like, we can make arrange-
ments for your Grand Canyon
Railway experience, personally
escorted tours of the Canyon, as
well as a host of air tour opportuni-
ties. Our goal is to make your stay
as worry-free as possible. And the
Railside RV Ranch features clean,
modern facilities including propane
gas, spotless laundry, dump station,
pet wash, amphitheater, playground,
clean restrooms with showers, cable
television, telephone hookups, and 50
amp power.
Railside RV Ranch is centrally
located in Northern Arizona in the
mountain community of Williams.
We are just 60 miles south of the
Grand Canyon and 30 miles west of
Flagstaff. Sedona, Phoenix, Page
(Lake Powell), Las Vegas, and
Prescott are all less than a half-
day’s drive away. Please take a few
moments to explore the unlimited
possibilities of your stay with us at
The Railside RV Ranch by visiting us
on our new web site. We look forward
to meeting you soon!
