All work is now complete at Homolovi II, the main attraction of the park. The May effort centered on stabiliza- tion of the 5 rooms in the pueblo village which were excavated in 1984, and were in dire need of attention to pre- serve the fabric of the walls. Additionally, a small kiva was stabilized and backfilled, and work was started on some small walls at Homolovi I, which sits close to the banks of the Little Colorado River. Some work remains at Homolovi I, and we are planning a short, one weekend project on Sep. 17 & 18 to finish this area. Fourteen crew members, representing nine AAS chapters, participated in the work, undaunted by the winds and heat. We are now discussing the possibility of stabilizing the walls at Homolovi IV, where numerous walls were ex- posed during excavations in the nineties, and which is in a similar state of deterioration. A new round of planning documents and approvals will be needed before we can proceed. If approved, work would begin in Spring 2012; it will require a lot of work. More info will be published as plans progress. (Continued on page 4) IN THIS ISSUE... 2 - Upcoming Events PICTURE CANYON CELEBRATION 3 - State Meeting Reg.

We were able to step up to a large task that was sorely needed at a time when the State of Arizona had no funds to maintain the archaeological sites in the Homolovi State Park. The quality of our work- manship has drawn praise from all quarters, in particular from the Archaeologist at the State Historic Preserva- tion Office. Although everyone worked hard, it is Jim Britton, our crew chief, who has spent countless addi- tional days conducting the research, preparing the planning documents, supervising the work, and writing up the final detailed report of work accomplished. Thanks from all of us, Jim. The abbreviated September schedule will be a good opportunity for members who might not have stabilization training to come out and give it a try.

Biographical History Harold Atwood Widdison was born in Salt Lake City, Utah on September 10, 1935 to Harold Edward and Margaret Lavona (née Atwood) Widdison. His only sibling, sister Joan Lavona, was born in 1940. The family moved to Helena, Montana when Widdison was 12, where he graduated from high school in 1953. He then served a two year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In 1956 Widdison entered Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, graduating with a BS in sociology in 1959 and an MS in business in 1961. He was employed by the Atomic Energy Commission in Washington DC before returning to graduate school, earning his PhD in medical sociology and statistics from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio in 1970. Dr. Widdison was a faculty member in the Sociology Department at Northern Arizona University from 1972 until his retirement in 2003. His research foci included research methods, medical sociology, complex organization, and death and dying. His interest in the latter led him to develop one of the first courses on death, grief, and bereavement, and helped establish such courses in the field on a national scale.

  • Dark Sky Sanctuaries in Arizona
    Dark Sky Sanctuaries in Arizona Eric Menasco NPS Terry Reiners Arizona is the astrotourism capital of the United States. Its diverse landscape—from the Grand Canyon and ponderosa forests in the north to the Sonoran Desert and “sky islands” in the south—is home to more certified Dark Sky Places than any other U.S. state. In fact, no country outside the U.S. can rival Arizona’s 16 dark-sky communities and parks. Arizona helped birth the dark-sky preservation movement when, in 2001, the International Dark Sky Association (IDA) designated Flagstaff as the world’s very first Dark Sky Place for the city’s commitment to protecting its stargazing- friendly night skies. Since then, six other Arizona communities—Sedona, Big Park, Camp Verde, Thunder Mountain Pootseev Nightsky and Fountain Hills—have earned Dark Sky status from the IDA. Arizona also boasts nine Dark Sky Parks, defined by the IDA as lands with “exceptional quality of starry nights and a nocturnal environment that is specifically protected for its scientific, natural, educational, cultural heritage, and/or public enjoyment.” The most famous of these is Grand Canyon National Park, where remarkably beautiful night skies lend draw-dropping credence to the Park Service’s reminder that “half the park is after dark Of the 16 Certified IDA International Dark Sky Communities in the US, 6 are in Arizona. These include: • Big Park/Village of Oak Creek, Arizona • Camp Verde, Arizona • Flagstaff, Arizona • Fountain Hills, Arizona • Sedona, Arizona • Thunder Mountain Pootsee Nightsky- Kaibab Paiute Reservation, Arizona Arizona Office of Tourism—Dark Skies Page 1 Facebook: @arizonatravel Instagram: @visit_arizona Twitter: @ArizonaTourism #VisitArizona Arizona is also home to 10 Certified IDA Dark Sky Parks, including: Northern Arizona: Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument Offering multiple hiking trails around this former volcanic cinder cone, visitors can join rangers on tours to learn about geology, wildlife, and lava flows.

  • Little Colorado River, Winslow, Arizona May 2016
    US Army Corps of Engineers® Los Angeles District LITTLE COLORADO RIVER WINSLOW, ARIZONA FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT PROJECT DRAFT INTEGRATED FEASIBILITY REPORT WITH ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT May 2016 This page left blank for duplex printing Little Colorado River Winslow, Arizona Flood Risk Management Project Draft Integrated Feasibility Report (Feasibility Report/Environmental Impact Statement) Navajo County, Arizona Lead Agency: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles District (Corps). Abstract: This Draft Integrated Feasibility Report (Draft IFR) evaluates alternatives to reduce the risk of damages and to reduce the life, safety, and health risks caused by flooding of the Little Colorado River (LCR) to the City of Winslow, surrounding community, and public and private infrastructure. The Draft IFR documents the plan formulation and environmental impact analysis conducted by the Corps in close cooperation with Navajo County Flood Control District, the non-Federal sponsor for this study. The LCR at Winslow study area is located in the middle of the LCR Watershed, in and near the City of Winslow in western Navajo County, Arizona. The study area includes the floodplain of the LCR from the Clear Creek confluence downstream (northwest) to the northern end of the existing Winslow Levee. The 49-square-mile study area encompasses the City of Winslow, including the Ruby Wash Diversion Levee, and portions of unincorporated Navajo County. Alternatives include various combinations of structural and non-structural measures such as reconstruction of portions of the existing Winslow Levee and Ruby Wash Diversion Levee, levee setbacks, flood warning system and elevation of residential structures, and river channel conveyance improvements.
