City officials and consultants were on hand Tuesday morning for the unsealing of the original 1905 Elks Opera House fire curtain. Because the curtain consists of hazardous asbestos, it has been sealed away in the old armory (Grace Sparkes Activity Center) for about the past five years.
As a part of the on-going restoration of the historic downtown theater, workers unrolled the curtain this week to allow for duplication of the intricate artwork for the theater's new grand drape.

Bob Cothern, on behalf of the Black Canyon Trail Coalition, on Jan. 8, led a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Black Canyon Trailhead to dedicate the 49 miles of non-motorized trail that volunteers, Bureau of Land Management employees and professional trail crews have built so far. The BLM dedicated $432,000 of stimulus money from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to the Black Canyon Trail Coalition.
