    CITY REPORT (Iraq) Opera House (never built), serves as a distinguished gateway to the Tempe campus of Arizona State University. Its president at the time, Grady Gammage, was a good friend of the architect. Wright’s First Christian Church (designed in 1948/built posthumously by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation in 1973), 6750 N. Seventh Ave., incorporates desert masonry, as in Taliesin West, and features distinctive spires. Wright’s ten distinguished Phoenix area homes include the circular David Wright House (1952), 5212 East Exeter Blvd., designed for his son in north Phoenix (1950), and the H.C. Price House (1954), 7211 N. Tatum Blvd., with its graceful combination of concrete block, steel and copper in a foothills setting. Wright’s approach continued through his pupils, such as Albert Chase McArthur, who is generally credited with the design of the spectacular Arizona Biltmore Hotel (1928), 24th St. and Missouri Ave. Wright’s influence on the building is clear in both massing and details, including the distinctive concrete Biltmore Blocks, cast onsite to an Emry Kopta design. The hotel was Foundation. Photo by Lara Corcoran, courtesy Frank Lloyd Wright restored after a fire in 1973, and additions were built in 1975 and 1979.

We’ll still look different because we will follow the recommendations of the Governor, the Mayor and the CDC, but we’re cautiously optimistic we can welcome you all back to the Zoo in September. We will let you know once all plans have been set and confirmed. Until then, however, we are excited to continue what has become one of the Valley’s most popular socially distanced experiences: Cruise the Zoo! In this issue of Wild Times, you will read how a random idea was transformed into a much- needed revenue stream for the Zoo – in record time! “Cruise the Zoo” is offered only three weekends in September – be sure you don’t miss out on this amazing experience.

Researchers are using a suite of noninvasive methods, including infrared-triggered photography, DNA analysis of scat and hair (collected from “hair snares”), and old-fashioned tracking and sign searches. These efforts are being conducted by a variety of academic, government, and non-governmental organizations in the United States and Mexico.

For James Hagerty Acknowledgements I wish to extend my most sincere appreciation to my dissertation committee. Your influence on my work is, perhaps, apparent, but I am truly grateful for the guidance you have provided over the years. Your patience and support while I balanced the weight of a museum career and the completion of my dissertation meant the world! I would certainly be remiss to not thank the staff, trustees, and volunteers at the Millicent Rogers Museum for bearing with me while I finalized my degree. Your kind words, enthusiasm, and encouragement were greatly appreciated. I know I looked dreadfully tired in the weeks prior to the completion of my dissertation and I thank you for not mentioning it. The Couse Foundation, the University of Oklahoma’s Charles M. Russell Center, and the School of Visual Arts, likewise, deserve a heartfelt thank you for introducing me to the wonderful world of Taos and supporting my research. A very special thank you is needed for Ginnie and Ernie Leavitt, Carl Jones, and Byron Price.

  • The Phoenix Desert Botanical Garden
    RGDesertGdnDQ:ArticleTemplate.qxd 16/07/2007 23:04 Page 1 The Phoenix Desert Botanical Garden Root Gorelick A personal appreciation of the collection of succulent plants represented in one of America’s finest botanical gardens. Photography by the author. ost cacti are easy to grow in southern Arizona, Mespecially if you are willing to spare a little bit of water for young seedlings in the heat of mid-sum- mer (40-45˚C) and can keep the cactus-eating rabbits at bay. The large-species of barrel cacti in my yard will typically increase their girth by three to five centime- tres each year, which is nice but nevertheless hardly extraordinary. So with such exemplary horticultural conditions for most cactus species, why would any- body in southern Arizona ever wish to visit a botanical garden? Maybe it is because you expect to see rare species. Yet, for the most part, even those are com- mercially readily available to the average hobbyist. For Fig. 2 Pachycereus pringlei, Fouquieria diguetii (left), Fouquieria columnaris (background) me, the best reason to visit a botanical garden is to see mature well-grown specimens of plants that I can usu- ally only see as seedlings, and for that, the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix is a truly remarkable place. The Desert Botanical Garden was established in 1939 Fig. 1 Stenocereus thurberi. Notice the new growth for this and has been at the same location in Papago Park since season its inception.

Provide a world-class civic arena (the “Arena”) to attract and present music, entertainment, and sports events, potentially including NBA and NHL events, to Seattle and the region. This is a definite strength for this Proposer. By lowering the bowl, and developing a structural plan to transfer load from the four buttresses, they have created essentially a new building, with a large event floor and concourses at new levels. Figure #1 shows the current KeyArena floorplan in red overlaid on OVG’s floorplan. You can see the increased area on all 4 sides of the building. With a large entry at the south end, from the upper level, all patrons drop down into the various building levels (Figure 2). Loading begins at John St, with a tunnel on the 1st Ave N Garage lot, which allows for the needed 50’ drop before entering the new south end space. They have provided a new seating bowl and are using 34” riser treads and 20” seating in the lower bowl and 33” treads and 20” seats in the upper bowl. There are multiple upper bowl levels, with the north upper bowl beginning at the suite level, a south seating “party deck” and stacked seating above the upper bowl on the east and west sides.
