Welcome to the Crown King Community Association (CKCA) and our e-Newsletter
| The Crown King Community Association Newsletter is intended to inform
those within as well as outside the Crown King Community on past,
current, & upcoming issues, activities, and events. Its contents
are more of a community effort than an editorial effort: The
newsletter is only as good as the articles contributed, so we highly
encourage your input by the 15th of the month. Throughout this e-newsletter, you can click on photos, events, or issues to be re-directed to other websites for more information. You can also print this email, forward it to a friend, or view the web version through the link at the top. We will also post all the newsletters in print version at the General Store and you can access all past archived issues here.
It is imperative to make sure we have your correct email information. How to do this: If you change your email or want to use/add a different one please contact Peg or use the "update profile/email address" link at the bottom of every email. Lastly, if you do not want to receive our e-newsletters you can easily remove yourself by using the "SafeUnsubscribe" link at the bottom of every email - no need to contact us for that! |

February 20, 2010 at the school.
- The CKCA board recently met to discuss current and upcoming issues and
events that will affect us in the coming year, and to plan for what
will be discussed at the Feb 20 quarterly meeting. We will also recap
on what the CKCA accomplished in 2009.
Also look for a survey from the Crown King Community Association in your inbox soon! The purpose of the survey is to gather data from all property owners and all permanent residents of the Crown King Community.
We
need the data so we can have a record of what issues or concerns exist
in our community. After the survey we will categorize the responses and have them vote and rate the issue on importance. The data at this point can be used to meet with County, State or Forest Service departments.
Upcoming Events
- Good news! The
businesses, associations of Crown King have come together to create the
2010 Event Calendar. This calendar is for the entire community! In
fact, it is our goal this year to ensure that all businesses and
associations work in sync to make each event a success! Please contact us if there is a community event that needs to be added
to the webpage. You can access the calendar here

Another
storm! This one included boulders in the road, a landslide, and ruts
galore. Thankfully, our CK Road Maintenance Association has been
working hard to get everything back in order. They are in contact with
the county and all proper avenues to make sure your drive up is safe. Road to
Horsethief and Senator Highway to Prescott considered dangerous and 4x4
highly recommended. For more photo and weather updates, see CK facebook
page.
Other Issues
- Destination Polaris: On
Saturday and Sunday, January 16th and 17th, a film crew
was in Crown King taking shots of the town and interviewing residents and
business owners. They also were
looking over some of our roads and trails. Their film will be aired on the Outdoor Channel in March and other times throughout the year.
- APS: Currently there is a multitude of issues regarding APS such as Cable
lines, Billing, and the Future of our APS usage in Crown King. Meara
has put together an APS Information page to help explain and detail
these issues. It is available here at the Crown King Community Association website.
There is also an open discussion on the Crown King Facebook Page. We strongly urge you to call APS regarding billing issues, and power
outages that pertain to your property. For this, APS needs those calls
to come in individually. For all other questions, information and
opinions, please direct them to the Crown King Community Association
(via email or facebook discussion page) so we can address them at the
February meeting. We are attempting to have an APS representative at
this meeting if possible.- Roads: Please read updates and Road Wars issues that are included in the newsletter

A Bit of Crown King History
|
This month - What Exactly is a Switchback?
(Excerpts from Phillip Varney's Arizona Ghost Towns and Mining Camps)
"Traversing Murphy's Impossible Railroad is not impossible at all. The dirt road heading southwest from Cleator is the roadbed of the old Bradshaw Mountain Railroad. Evidence of this are backfilled dips, gentle curves, and deep cuts made in the rock, traits that are roadbed requirements for trains, not automobiles.- - - After climbing gently, the roadbed becomes a series of very steep switchbacks.
