>Coolidge should apply for a $10,000 grant from the State Historic

>Office (SHPO) to create a downtown redevelopment plan, said Robert R.
>Frankeberger of that office during a meeting Feb. 11 with city staff
>members and members of the public. Frankeberger said that Coolidge boasts
>of about 500 possible
>properties for historical designation. That could lead to redevelopment
>of many parts of town as Historical Districts which in turn could lead
>owners to obtain state funds to upgrade those properties.

>Rightful ownership of the old Kenilworth School bell is still a topic of
>contention between the Coolidge Unified School District and the Pinal County
>Historical Society. PCHS' position has been that it came by the bell
>honestly,
>that it has been a faithful steward of the artifact for many years, and
>that the bell is best protected and cared for in a museum setting rather
>than at a school facility.

>Since the turn of the century, Hispanic land-grant heirs have claimed their
>land was lost through sleight of hand and outright thievery by wealthy
>Hispanics and Anglo interlopers. In the 1890s, a band of mounted land-rights
>activists called Gorras Blancas (White Hats) appeared in Mora and San Miguel
>County, fighting to retain control over communal lands.

>A Polish explorer says that he has located El Dorado using a 16th-century
>Jesuit manuscript from the Vatican archives. Gonzalo Pizarro led an ill-fated

>but he and his men had to eat their dogs and horses to survive when they

>The rousing controversy over "the lost kingdom of Yamatai" may be a good

>Every civilization has its defining attribute, said Paul Saffo, a director
>at the Institute for the Future. In Egypt of the pharaohs it was the
>ubiquitous
>blue-green faience, or in the Mayan classic period it was red polychrome
>pottery. For us, archaeologists will dig down to find a 3-inch-thick layer
