    Cottonwood AZ (June 30, 2015) – On Wednesday, July 15, at 10:30 a.m., there will be a public presentation to provide an overview of the process and the progress of current adjudication regarding Verde River navigability. This process will determine if the state’s Navigable Stream Adjudication Commission will identify the Verde River as a navigable watercourse. This presentation is free and will be at the Cottonwood Recreation Center in Cottonwood, 150 South 6th Street, in the Cottonwood Room.

    20150630_edwinsladeThe Arizona Navigable Stream Adjudication Commission (ANSAC) was established in 1992 to determine whether any rivers in Arizona were navigable in their ordinary and natural conditions at the time of statehood (February 14, 1912). If a river was navigable at statehood, title to the land beneath the river is held by the State Land Department to be used for the public trust values. The ANSAC has not yet voted on the navigability of the Gila, Verde, and Salt Rivers, although hearings have concluded for the Gila and Verde Rivers.

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
