The show, originally direct- ed by the legendary Bob Fosse, centers on a performing troupe telling the story of Pippin (William James Callahan). He is the eldest son of Charlemagne of the Middle Ages (Brendon Schaefer), named Charles in the show. Pippin is search- ing for meaning and significance in his life. He wants a life that is extraordinary but doesn’t know where to go to find it. He explores war, the flesh and glory. Helping tell Pippin’s story is a fantastic troupe of cirque-style performers who spin hoops, juggle, dangle from the ceil- ings and perform other acrobatic feats of amazement. It seemed as if someone was always flying through the air.

Just a few of the family names on parade? Armeda, Bass, Blount, Bylaska, Carson, English, Evans, Frierson, Gonzalez, Henderson, Hendry, Kinzie, Menge, Powell, Stewart, Summerlin, Tillis, Tooke, Towles and Washburn. Pictured here are descendants of Dr. William and Julia A. Han- son, a family that settled in what became Fort Myers in 1884. Their car is passing the VIP platform in front of City Hall on Sec- ond Street. Woody Hanson identifies some of those in the car as his father, W. Stanley Hanson Jr., himself, and his sister’s (Donna Hanson Gillespie) son, Charles Hanson Gillespie. The Pioneer Parade was just one part of a big block party on Saturday, October 5, 1985. And, the block party was but one of many events that comprised the seven- month-long Centennial Celebration. The hoopla had begun the previous August 10 and was scheduled to conclude on the following March 24. The Centennial Committee co-chairs were Charlie Stiles and writer and historian Prudy Taylor Board. Those bookend dates (with a little adjustment to schedule major events on weekends) were chosen for their historical significance. In one sense, the settlement of Fort Myers had its birth as a real town on August 12, 1885, when 45 men voted unanimously to incorporate. The State of Florida did not Fort Myers City Hall on Second Street between Hendry and Broadway make it official, however, until March 24, 1886. photo by Gerri Reaves The Centennial Celebration was chocked full of a variety of observances, events and activities, from historic river tours, parades, shuffleboard and tennis tournaments, a Pioneer Centennial Dinner, a flower show, a regatta, an antique car show, historical exhibits, a beard-growing contest and so much more. The dedication of a time vault concluded the seven-month extravaganza. Meanwhile, the October 5 parade didn’t begin until 5 p.m. on that Saturday, but the day kicked off with live music and entertainment at the Lee County Courthouse, with the music continuing into the night. Also at the courthouse were 10 food booths offering a wild variety of goodies, including swamp cabbage, apple fritters, mango chutney, ice and beer. And, there was an antique car show – no doubt the same cars the pioneer descen- dants rode in. If this wasn’t enough, the following weekend promised the Centennial Classic Tennis Tournament and, a couple of weeks later, the kick-off of the children’s poster contest. Visit City Hall and imagine the pioneers’ descendants riding by in antique cars, just to celebrate the town’s 100th birthday.

  • North American Deserts Chihuahuan - Great Basin Desert - Sonoran – Mojave
    North American Deserts Chihuahuan - Great Basin Desert - Sonoran – Mojave http://www.desertusa.com/desert.html In most modern classifications, the deserts of the United States and northern Mexico are grouped into four distinct categories. These distinctions are made on the basis of floristic composition and distribution -- the species of plants growing in a particular desert region. Plant communities, in turn, are determined by the geologic history of a region, the soil and mineral conditions, the elevation and the patterns of precipitation. Three of these deserts -- the Chihuahuan, the Sonoran and the Mojave -- are called "hot deserts," because of their high temperatures during the long summer and because the evolutionary affinities of their plant life are largely with the subtropical plant communities to the south. The Great Basin Desert is called a "cold desert" because it is generally cooler and its dominant plant life is not subtropical in origin. Chihuahuan Desert: A small area of southeastern New Mexico and extreme western Texas, extending south into a vast area of Mexico. Great Basin Desert: The northern three-quarters of Nevada, western and southern Utah, to the southern third of Idaho and the southeastern corner of Oregon. According to some, it also includes small portions of western Colorado and southwestern Wyoming. Bordered on the south by the Mojave and Sonoran Deserts. Mojave Desert: A portion of southern Nevada, extreme southwestern Utah and of eastern California, north of the Sonoran Desert. Sonoran Desert: A relatively small region of extreme south-central California and most of the southern half of Arizona, east to almost the New Mexico line.

GROUND-WATER APPRAISAL OF THE BLACK ROCK OESER T AREA NORTHWESTERN NEVADA by William C. Sinclair Geologist ~··· ··. Prepared cooperatively by the Geological SUrvey, U. S. Department of Interior October, 1963 FOREWORD This reconnaissance apprais;;l of the ground~water resources of the Black Rock Desert area in northwestern Nevada is the ZOth in this series of reports. Under this program, which was initiated following legislative action • in 1960, reports on the ground-water resources of some 23 Nevada valleys have been made. The present report, entitled, "Ground-Water Appraisal of the Black Rock Desert Area, Northwe$tern Nevada", was prepared by William C. Sinclair, Geologist, U. s. Geological Survey. The Black Rock Desert area, as defined in this report, differs some~ what from the valleys discussed in previous reports. The area is very large with some 9 tributary basins adjoining the extensive playa of Black Rock Desert. The estimated combined annual recharge of all the tributary basins amounts to nearly 44,000 acre-feet, but recovery of much of this total may be difficult. Water which enters into the ground water under the central playa probably will be of poor quality for irrigation. The development of good produci1>g wells in the old lake sediments underlying the central playa appears doubtful.

  • The Great Basin-Colorado Plateau Transition in Central Utah
    Utah Geological Association Publication 30 - Pacific Section American Association of Petroleum Geologists Publication GB78 1 GREAT BASIN-COLORADO PLATEAU TRANSITION IN CENTRAL UTAH: AN INTERFACE BETWEEN ACTIVE EXTENSION AND STABLE INTERIOR PHILIP E. WANNAMAKER1, JOHN M. BARTLEY2, ANNE F. SHEEHAN3, CRAIG H. JONES3, ANTHONY R. LOWRY4, TREVOR A. DUMITRU5, TODD A. EHLERS2, W. STEVEN HOLBROOK6, G. LANG FARMER3, MARTYN J. UNSWORTH7, DARRELL B. HALL2, DAVID S. CHAPMAN2, DAVID A. OKAYA8, BARBARA E. JOHN6, AND JACK A. WOLFE9 ABSTRACT A fundamental tectonic boundary appears to have existed below the site of the present-day Colorado Plateau to Great Basin Transition Zone since Precambrian times. The Plateau proper has seen little deformation since Middle Proterozoic conti- nental assembly apart from Cenozoic uplift and limited thick-skinned contraction and calc-alkaline plutonism. In contrast, the Great Basin region has been subject to repeated episodes of both contractional and extensional tectonism, and extensional activity continues into the modern day. Evidence exists that the Colorado Plateau at its western margin is being converted to lithosphere with rifted Great Basin properties. Some models for migrating extension call upon progressive gravitational collapse of thicker crust of the plateau margin as it warms, possibly aided by hardening of the previously rifted lithosphere (i.e., Great Basin interior) via crustal thinning and cooling. However, this rather homogeneous and temporally gradual model of deformation has only partial applicability to evolu- tion of the western Colorado Plateau and eastern Great Basin. On the one hand, the limited degree of block style faulting, high elevation, and high apparent elastic thickness of the Transition Zone resemble properties of the Colorado Plateau.
