  • Prescott had the best of all worlds, still does

    1 month ago | dcourier.com | Cindy Barks

    Over my 33 years of working as a reporter for The Daily Courier, I always considered myself lucky to have a front-row seat to the community's happenings, changes and controversies. During that time, I covered as many as 700 City Council meetings, 16 city elections, nine presidential-year elections, and countless community events - from triumphs to unimaginable tragedies. Along the way, I wrote more than 15,000 articles consisting of millions of words.

  • New Splash Trail underway in Prescott's Granite Dells

    2 months ago | dcourier.com | Cindy Barks

    Pools of water dot the route of Boulder Creek, forming a scenic blue chain along the orange-hued granite rock formations that are the backdrop for a new trail being built in Prescott's Granite Dells. Soon, hikers and mountain bikers will have access to the trail - aptly named the Splash Trail because of the many little ponds that form along the granite valley after rain or snowstorms.

  • Rezoning request for 106-unit apartment complex on Marina Street postponed until May 13

    2 months ago | dcourier.com | Cindy Barks

    Reduced parking requirements for apartments designated as senior citizen units raised concerns for Prescott City Council members this week, and ultimately caused a delay in a rezoning request for a 106-unit apartment complex planned for Marina Street. After a two-hour discussion Tuesday, April 8, during which 16 local residents spoke, the City Council voted 5-0 to table the request for the rezoning of a 0.6-acre parcel of property at 500 Marina St. until the council's next meeting on May 13.

    In a powerful full-circle moment, family and friends of long-time Prescott advocate Elisabeth Ruffner dedicated a plaque last week along Prescott's Peavine Trail, right in the midst of the Granite Dells that Ruffner spent a lifetime enjoying and preserving. Ruffner, who died in 2019 just shy of her 100th birthday, was honored recently with the renaming of the former "No Name Creek" to "Elisabeth Creek."Follow Cindy Barks on Twitter @Cindy_Barks.
