The Assured Water Supply Program ensures that new developments in any of Arizona's five AMAs must prove a 100-year renewable supply of water before construction can begin. This evaluation must consider current and committed water supply demand as well as projections for growth. How does the Assured Water Supply Program affect our region? The Assured Water Supply Program applies to Arizona's five Active Management Areas (AMAs) including our local Prescott AMA covering 485 square miles in central Yavapai County. The Prescott AMA boundary encompasses the Bradshaw Mountains to the south, Granite Mountain and Sullivan Buttes to the west and the...

Three thousand American flags will fly for the 11th year on Sept. 8-15, 2023, during Patriot Week at the Prescott Valley Civic Center. In 2012, Yavapai County Dist. 5 Supervisor Mary Mallory, then a PV council member, spearheaded an effort to bring a Healing Field to the community to honor the lives lost in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. That year, 1,200 flags flew at the Civic Center grounds. The community rallied behind the effort, and in 2013, 3,000 flags filled the grounds, and have flown there every year since. In 2013, 19 flags honoring the 19 Granite Mountain...

Nestled in the rolling Hill Country Region of Texas, in the city of Austin, sits the Texas state Capitol building. Today's sunset red granite building is a far cry from the Republic of Texas' 1839 log-cabin Capitol building. A key feature of this early national Capitol was an eight-foot high stockade fence offering protection during Indian raids. By 1853, the State of Texas had joined the Union and constructed a limestone State Capitol. The boxy building (with a roundish dome stuck on top) was a functional improvement; however, one publication of the time called it an “architectural monstrosity.” Nonetheless, it served as the Texas seat of government for over twenty-five years. Following the Civil War, a Texas representative from Comanche, Texas proposed the state set aside five million acres of public land to raise money for a new capitol building. Ultimately, the Constitution of 1876 authorized the allocation of 3,050,000 acres of land in the Texas Panhandle for the project. A team of surveyors was dispatched to survey and divide the land into Spanish leagues—the measurement commonly used at the time. The huge swath of land selected stretched more than 220 miles north-to-south along the border with New Mexico and the width measurement from, east-to-west, varied from 20 to 30 miles. This land, to be set aside for fund raising, covered all or part of ten Texas counties. In 1880, Texas officials held a nation-wide design competition for the new Capitol building, offering a $1,700 prize. The winning architect was Elijah E. Myers of Detroit. In 1881, as the plan for using the Panhandle land to finance a new building was being finalized, the old capitol burned to the ground, giving the need for a new building greater urgency. Luckily, the architect's plans for new new capitol were rescued from the fire. While planning for a beautiful new capitol continued, an inexpensive, temporary capitol was built on Congress Avenue away from the Capitol grounds. In early 1882, the legislature appointed a Capitol Board tasked with both finding a financier for the project and choosing a contractor. The winning bidder for the funding project was Mathias Schnell of Illinois. Schnell turned his interests in the project over to a Chicago firm, Taylor, Babcock, and Company which formed the Capitol Syndicate and purchased the land for $3,224,593.45. The new landowners quickly decided to use the land for cattle ranching until they could see the opportunity to break it into parcels for sale and proceeded to raise funds in England by selling bonds for the ranch's development and to recoup the cost of the land. The resulting ranch was named the XIT—purportedly standing for Ten-in-Texas—the ten being the number of counties which make up the ranch. It was the largest fenced ranch in the world. The ranch's cattle were branded with the letters XIT and B.H. “Barbeque” Campbell from Wichita, Kansas was hired as general manager. Meanwhile, back in Austin, the building contractor, Gustav Wilke, a young Chicago builder, went to work. Construction of the foundation began using limestone from South Austin. But, construction was quickly halted when metallic particles in the stone caused it to discolor. Fortunately, the owners of Granite Mountain in Burnet county donated the required granite—188,518 cubic feet of Texas Sunset Red Granite delivered to the Austin building site from Burnett County's rock quarries on a railroad constructed for the purpose. A boycott by the International Association of Granite Cutters over the use of prison labor resulted in 62 granite cutters being imported from Scotland. A bone was a niche to hold a zinc box containing mementoes selected by former Governor F.R. Lubbock, then serving as State Treasurer. (I've not found information on just what those mementoes were, but I'm sure curious to know.)
« Pèlerinage Américains » est le podcast « Culture et aventure » aux Etats-Unis. Dans cet épisode, on continue notre traversée de l'Amérique pour les pompiers américains, les firefighters ! Altruistes, courageux, souriants, les firefighters sont idolâtrés aux Etats-Unis. D'autant plus depuis que 343 d'entre eux ont perdu la vie le 11 septembre 2001. Pour ces 343 martyrs, on continue notre pèlerinage vers New York, à la rencontre des pompiers du pays. Après l'Alaska et le Colorado, on part cette fois en Arizona. Sur le site de Granite Mountain. En juin 2013, un feu s'est déclaré sur cette montagne. Une équipe de pompiers volontaires est intervenue, une unité d'élite appelée Hotshots. 20 Hotshots ont travaillé sans relâche avec leurs tronçonneuses et leurs pelles pour éviter que le feu se propage sur la montagne. Mais le vent a subitement changé de direction et ils se sont retrouvés pris au piège. Le Hotshot placé en sentinelle a survécu, mais les 19 autres ont péri dans les flammes. Cette journée du 30 juin 2013 représente la plus grosse perte pour les pompiers américains depuis le 11 septembre 2001. Un trail permet de faire le pèlerinage sur Granite Mountain jusqu'au lieu du drame. Wesley, le pilgrim à moto du dernier épisode, y est bien sûr allé. Mais plutôt que d'écouter Wesley nous décrire son pèlerinage là-bas, j'propose qu'on y aille nous-mêmes sur cette montagne. Et j'vous présenterai ensuite Fireman Joe, le pilgrim qui a fait le plus extraordinaire des pèlerinages pour ces pompiers. Plus d'informations sur la fondation pour laquelle Fireman Joe a couru, la fondation Kevin Woyjeck: http://explorersforlife.org/ Une création d'Alexis Grardel pour le pilgrim qui sommeille en vous.

Esta semana en Código Misterio hablaremos de algunos de los lugares misteriosos en Estados Unidos. Nuestra investigación comienza con los extraños elementos que demuestran que el Nuevo Orden Mundial se hace presente en nuestro mundo. Primero en las piedras guías que fueron colocadas en Georgia y están alineadas con los solsticios y equinoccio, te contare los 10 mandamientos que están grabados en estas rocas y como quizá podrían llevarnos a un control de la población mundial, también hablaremos del Aeropuerto de la ciudad de Denver, desde las teorías que mencionan que debajo de el hay una base extraterrestre, bunkers secretos para la elite global en caso de un desastre. La pista con forma de esvástica, las gárgolas, los murales nos están queriendo decir algo que no hemos sido capaces de descifrar? Además conoceremos el refugio de los mormones en Granite Mountain, un lugar misterioso del que poco se sabe, quizá adentro están las tablillas de oro que le fueron entregadas por el ángel a su fundador Joseph Smith?

As we approach the 8th anniversary of June 30 and the loss of 19 brave firefighters, many Yavapai County residents may be considering a visit to the Granite Mountain Hotshots Memorial in Yarnell. If you do decide to make the journey this year and decide to stop and hike to the memorial at the top of Weaver Mountains, the Arizona Department of Transportation asks that you do it safely by taking advantage of the shuttle service and not park along the road. In a recent communication from ADOT, they remind visitors that parking illegally along the shoulders of SR89 to...

This episode will deal with what occurred up until 1530 (3:30 pm), approximately one hour prior to the Granite Mountain crew's tragic death. Deborah and Doug want to make it clear how wrong and misleading the Department of Forestry and Fire Management Serious Accident Investigation Report on the Yarnell Hill Fire (SAIR - https://dffm.az.gov/yarnell-hill-report-available) is.

World War I–era Butte was a volatile jumble of antiwar protest, seething labor unrest, and divisive ethnic tension. Against that explosive backdrop, the worst hard-rock mining disaster in American history began a half hour before midnight on June 8, 1917, when fire broke out in the North Butte Mining Company’s Granite Mountain shaft. Michael Punke recounts the tragic tale and heroic actions of the miners who fought to survive. Punke is author of Fire and Brimstone: The North Butte Mining Disaster of 1917; Last Stand: George Bird Grinnell, the Battle to Save the Buffalo, and the Birth of the New West; and The Revenant: A Novel of Revenge. Now a resident of Missoula and vice president of Global Public Policy (AWS), Punke is also former United States Ambassador to the World Trade Organization.

This week's listener email includes:Beth thanks The Guys for help last fall with obtaining information about photos taken during WWII of her grandfather's B-17 crew mates. She also discusses how she worked very, very hard on her book to include source citations for every comment, etc., that she received while writing the book.Pattie talks about how great RootsMagic is for generating a basic book that she can edit, add to, and customize for her own family history writing.Brenda responds to Katie's e-mail (1/3/10 episode) concerning the Huntingdon Gazette in Pennsylvania. She reports that there is a website, "Access Pennsylvania Digital Repository," at http://www.accesspadigital.org at which she was able to access early copies of the Huntingdon Gazette in the Juniata College Collections. She even located an April 1816 issue describing the sheriff's sale of her 4th great-grandfather's blacksmith shop in Barre Township. Pam asks for suggestions for additional research into her Gorrell ancestors.Joel Weintraub corrects The Guys (George) concerning obtaining information from not-yet-released U.S. federal census records. He cites the Census Bureau as the correct place to contact (not NARA) for an Age Search to be performed.

George describes the process for having requested microfilm from the Granite Mountain vault.Drew recounts a recent discussion on the ROOTS-L mailing list. He discusses "name chasers" who collect and add names to their databases without performing research to check sources. They also eschew entering any source citations for their collections. Some have even attacked Drew's position on the importance of source citations, stating that citing sources takes the fun out of genealogy. The Guys talk about how important and integral source citations are in everyone's research.
