>Powell, known as the dean of American librarians, died last Wednesday. He
>was 94. Powell wrote about Southwestern literature before most scholars
>believed such a genre existed. He literally wrote the book on Arizona after
>the National Endowment for the Humanities in 1976 selected him as a
>contributor for its Bicentennial series. But, friends say, his legacy isn't
>confined to the printed page. Powell had a great knack for making
>connections. A memorial celebration is scheduled for April 8 at 2 p.m. at
>the Singing Wind bookstore.

>most historic neighborhoods. But in a nod to neighborhood activists, the
>council approved a plan that calls for preserving part of the school. The

>be designed to resemble the vacant school as it appeared in 1937.

>59, confirmed that he is on the short list of candidates for assistant
>Interior secretary, which includes responsibility for the National Parks
>and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife and such laws as the Endangered Species Act.
>As a representative, Guenther was named one of the state's top 10
>legislators three times. In 1989 he was chosen by his colleagues as
>Arizona's Democratic Legislator of the Year. Currently, he chairs the
>Senate Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment Committee and the
>Appropriations Subcommittee on Health and Welfare. He said... "It is a real
>opportunity to make (the rules and regulations) less punitive and less
>demanding on the individual and corporations. I believe people go a lot
>further when they're included in the process and not forced to comply... "

>AZSITE WWW APPLICATION IS OPEN FOR DATA SEARCHES - The AZSITE Cultural

>and send it to Deputy SHPO Carol Griffith. The form can be downloaded from
>the AZSITE WWW site at <http://azsite.asu.edu>. Most but not all records of
>the four member institutions (ASM, SHPO, ASU, and MNA) are entered. There
>is a partial list of known data problems and exclusions and what we know is
>in AZSITE at "What's in there." If you encounter difficulty using the site,
>please email Rick Karl at <[log in to unmask]>. Please be aware that
>the AZSITE Cultural Resource Inventory does not include information about
>cultural resources on tribal lands. Such information will not be included
>without express tribal permission. If your project includes tribal lands,
>you should contact cultural resource management offices for the relevant
>tribal governments. The Data Entry module is also available. Use of this
>electronic data entry application replaces the ASM site card. Downloaded
>from <http://azsite.asu.edu>, the module allows you to create site and
>survey records, digitize the site and survey locations, and submit the
>records electronically, via an FTP site, to ASM. Use of the data entry
>module will be mandatory starting 2002 for data submissions to ASM, so
>start using it now! The Data Entry module only requires that you have MS
>ACCESS installed and will work with either ACCESS 97 or ACCESS 2000. The
>ACCESS 2000 version has an ArcView application incorporated that does not
>require that you have or know ArcView. The ACCESS 97 version requires
>separate digitizing of site/survey locations in an ArcView format.

>aen&xlb=180&xlc=205454&xld=180 The Huebner Onion Homestead dates back to
>the 1860s. The two-story house of weathered stone has withstood seven
>Indian raids. "At that time, (the government) said if you go settle
>unsettled areas and you suffer any losses due to Indian attack, we will
>reimburse you for being brave enough to go settle those new territories,"
>Persyn said. When Huebner died in 1882, he hadn't received a penny from the
>government, she said. His wife pursued the case and finally was paid in
>1914. She died in 1923 at the age of 98. The Historical Society of Leon
>Valley wants to turn the old stone house into a living history museum. The
>organization is trying to raise between $300,000 and $600,000 to refurbish
>the dilapidated structure. Those wishing to donate can call the historical
>society at 684-2770.
