Protecting Our Groundwater and Rivers
Our state legislators continue to fail to protect our water in our aquifers and rivers. In the Prescott Active Management Area, which includes Dewey-Humbolt, Prescott Valley, Prescott, and Chino Valley, groundwater pumping exceeds natural and artificial replenishment by over 18,000 acre-feet per year (afy) — that is a football field three=-and-a-half miles deep, disappearing from the aquifer every year, depleting our groundwater reserves. The overdraft relentlessly continues to grow, … [Read more...] about Protecting Our Groundwater and Rivers

SCORE Helping Businesses Succeed for Decades
I moved to Prescott in 2018 after 41 years in the commercial audiovisual industry in Southern California. We opened and ran a successful manufacturers’ rep company for 33 of those years, serving a five-state region. I had several terrific mentors, but I wish I had known of SCORE in those days. I like to say, “I could have had a V8.” SCORE is a non-profit, volunteer-staffed, free business mentoring service. SCORE is America’s premier source of free, confidential small business advice, and was … [Read more...] about SCORE Helping Businesses Succeed for Decades
Sound Check
Music and dancing has returned to the Quad Cities area and is starting to return to the Flagstaff area, with a lot more planned for May.

Sidekicks Lounge in Prescott Valley and Jersey Lilly … [Read more...] about Sound Check
