At least 14 entities, from the John Wesley Powell Museum to the Old Spanish Trail Association, could find a presence in the Highway 89 center to some degree, judging from ideas generated at a Page Tourism Board meeting Wednesday night. About a dozen people, including Mayor Dan Brown, attended the two-hour meeting designed to gather community input. Construction is expected to begin next summer on the 20-acre center just off Tunnel Road.

The group said they want parking that is better than was shown on an architect's drawing, they want it to look like the visitor center at Escalante, Utah, and they want it to get passers-by to visit Page. Tourism coordinator Dwayne Cassidy said he wants the facility to be known as a "wel- come center." He chaired the meeting and asked residents to give a broad wish list with "utopian" ideas on an unlimited budget. The center is expected to have about 2,800 square feet, but could go larger if the city finds additional funding sources. "When you go into a buffet, you want to eat everything," said Brown, who has worked three years for the center. "We'll narrow it down to reasonable dimensions." Page is lending ADOT $1.3 million in order to get the project built two years earlier than originally scheduled by the state agency.

Potentially combustible aspects, such as location, budgets and funding, were prohibited from discussion by Cassidy. Those issues may arise at future meetings. The next one is planned next Thursday at the Best Western Arizona Inn, conducted by the local chamber of commerce. Discussions veered into talks about why Page stores in the central business district do not remain open in the evenings to whether development along the 89 corridor may cause mesa-top businesses to fold. Hopi chairman faces formal investigation The Hopi Tribal Council has launched a formal investigation of Hopi chairman Ivan Sidney following a police report he was highly intoxicated and urinated in the hall of a Winslow hotel last month.

At a special Hopi Tribal Council hearing Thursday, the council determined the misconduct complaint lodged against the chairman had merit and warranted further action. A special investigation is to be conducted within 30 days by a special adviser. Sidney will continue his employment as chairman pending final outcome of the special investigation.

He was never arrested or charged.

He has since proclaimed his innocence, calling the events Winslow police reported that night, a "medical i incident." Sidney has also said the whole matter is a smear campaign by his political opponents and that the Hopi people will know the truth later. He's refused to answer questions about the "medical incident." Alcohol is banned on Hopi tribal land. The Hopi Constitution calls for automatically removing a chairman, vice chairman or other tribal leader from office if a tribal or other court finds them guilty of being dishonest, committing a felony or being drunk. At Thursday's meeting, the tribal council determined the Code of Conduct needed to be followed. As he wasn't charged with committing any crime, Sidney has also not been tried in any court.

In his complaint, Council members Clifford Balenquah Qotsaquahu has said Sidney violated the tribe's code of conduct. There are 22 members on the Hopi Tribal Council, including the chairman and vice chairman. temperatures soar in July NORTHERN ARIZONA WEATHER Place Pct. Temp. Change Pct.

Trust lands initiative deemed legal in court A state judge says Prop 106, while complex, only deals with one broad issue. BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services PHOENIX A state judge has ruled that an initiative designed to conserve hundreds of thousands of acres of state trust land is legal. Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Douglas Rayes rejected arguments by foes of the measure that it improperly deals with more than one subject. Rayes, in a ruling published Thursday, said while there are multiple components to Proposition 106, they are "sufficiently related to a common purpose or principal." Attorney Tim Casey, who represents the home builders who sought to block a vote, vowed an appeal to the state Supreme Court. Casey said the whole purpose behind the single-subject requirement is to ensure that voters don't have to accept Deaths Funerals Frank Brewster Frank Brewster, 81, died Sunday, July 30, 2006, in Flagstaff.

He was born May 24, 1925 in Tucson. Mr. Brewster worked hard his whole life. He served in the U.S. Navy during World War II.

He graduated from the University of Arizona, retired from both' the railroad and teaching. After retirement he BREWSTER and his wife began traveling and saw the world. Mr. Brewster's favorite activities included: starting new projects, inventing, listening and dancing to big band music, One certain feature of the facility would be restrooms. ADOT has tentatively set aside 1,300 square feet for restrooms and 1,500 square feet for the interpretive use.

Brown asked for a show of hands, and residents indicated they'd prefer one building over two. "I think they (ADOT) are making it a bathroom stop," said tourism board member Mary Scheel. "We want it to be what we want it to be." Daily Sun correspondent Todd Glasenapp can be contacted at PoliceLog Armed robbery A man reportedly held a knife to a woman's throat and demanded money from her when she was trying to walk to her car parked at the Little America Truck Stop, 2550 E. Butler at 11 p.m. Tuesday.

According to police reports, the woman described the knife as "Rambo" style with one smooth edge and one serrated edge, according to a Flagstaff police report. The woman gave the suspect $80 who then went toward the Interstate 40 overpass. There is some suspect information available. hotter than usual, between 11 in the and 3 in the aftersaid.

He said while the law is "squishy," it is clear that the initiative has multiple parts that all are not necessary or desirable. The measure would guarantee that about 300,000 acres of state-owned land would remain open space, with close to another 400,000 eligible to be set aside for preservation if cities or conservation groups come up with the necessary cash. "A reasonable voter may very much like the idea of setting aside hundreds of thousands of acres of land for conservation purposes," Casey said. And, he said, they might even approve of the initiative's plan for a new system of managing those lands.

But he said they might "strongly disfavor" creation of a new board of trustees. "And that board will have, despite what other may say, the ultimate authority and discretion to decide all issues over the management of all 8.2 million acres that remain of trust land," Casey said. He said that board, chosen by the governor with golfing, playing cards, and backgammon. He had a strong work ethic and worked hard to provide well for his family. He had a friendly nature and was accepting of all people.

He is survived by his six children, many grandchildren and -grandchildren. Memorial service was Thursday at Norvel Owens Mortuary Chapel. Arrangements are by Norvel Owens Mortuary. Frank Fameli Frank M. Fameli, 74, died Tuesday, Aug.

1, 2006, in Flagstaff, following a very brief battle with cancerous lung and brain tumors. He was born in Daphne, and spent most of his childhood in Brockton, Mass. Armed robbery According to a Flagstaff police report, a man threatened a woman with a knife and took her purse in the parking lot of the Wells Fargo Bank, 1200 S. Milton Road, at 10:52 a.m. Wednesday.

The victim had just come out of the bank and the suspect approached her and told her that he has a knife and he would kill her. There is some suspect information available, and the case has been given to detectives. Vehicle burglary A white counter model microwave from a silver 1996 Nissan Sentra four-door sedan parked on the 500 block west Forest Meadows Street was reported stolen Tuesday. The rear window was smashed out. Puppies stolen Senate consent, would be "unelected, unaccountable to voters, unaccountable to 'the governor, unaccountable to the Legislature and, without a legal challenge, unaccountable to the courts." Rayes conceded the measure could create a dilemma for voters.

But he said all the elements of Proposition 106 have a common purpose which "strikes a balance between the concern over logrolling and the realities of modern legislation." "The court finds that the proposition constitutes a consistent and workable whole on the general topic embraced," the judge wrote. He said that Proposition 106 "should stand or fall as a whole." Unless overturned, that means voters who don't want the independent board have to reject the whole plan. The home builders along with their allies are backing an alternative plan put on the ballot by the Legislature. Proposition 105 clarifies that 40,000 acres of urban land already earmarked for conservation could be sold to communities. It also directs the Legislature to set up procedures to preserve another 400,000 acres of land in rural areas.
