CDBG
In January 2015 the Town of Dewey
Humboldt applied for FY2015 Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Rural
Assistance funds in the amount of
$266,693 for
drainage and
sidewalk improvements as
prioritized by
the
Town
Council
for
Blue
Hills
Farm #3 road
and drainage
improvements and Huron Street sidewalk
extension at the school area. The original amount awarded to the Town has in-

creased to $309,153.
Surveys of area residents in these
two areas are being finalized to meet the
low-income persons and area requirements of the grant funding. If you still
have an outstanding survey that you
would like to submit, please contact Deni
Thompson at 632-7362. The Town appreciates the residents’ participation in
this project. The Dewey-Humboldt CDBG
applications for Huron Street Sidewalk
extension and Blue Hills Farm Road and
Drainage Improvement will be finished in
early June and delivered to the Arizona
Department of Housing. The environmental review and contracting process should
follow in late fall and design to be done
this winter. The projects are expected to
be bid out next spring with construction
expected in summer 2016. There will be
opportunities for the Town Council and
the public to review the details of the project throughout the process. We are excited about the potential improvements
taking place in these areas.

HUMBOLDT ELEMETARY
STUDENTS PARTICIPATE
IN THIRD ANNUAL
PIONEER DAY
Fourth-, fifth- and sixth-graders
participated in another lively Pioneer
Day on May 8th at the school. The
Dewey-Humboldt Historical Society
(DHHS), in collaboration with others,
provided a variety of activities for the
children. Students enjoyed Cowboy
Poetry and “Cat’s Cradle” presented
by Don Fernwald, and Jody Drake
portrayed Sharlot Hall to share her
perspective on life as a pioneer woman. There was a blacksmith and wool
spinner, the Gold Prospectors Association offered hands-on gold panning
instruction, and leatherworker Steve
Long of Double H Leatherworks in
Prescott Valley provided students with
pieces of leather and an array of
stamps to use.
DHHS members offered displays
and education relating to historical
tools, a mining diorama, windlasses,

smelting, weaving, historical photos
and rock identification. The Brush
Arbor Revival band performed historical, cowboy and gospel music
throughout the morning. In the afternoon, the Arizona Rough Riders reenactors gave students a glimpse
into the lives of Teddy Roosevelt,
Bucky O'Neill and the Rough Riders
and their uniforms, tack and gear.
DHHS members led sixth graders on
the “Walk Through Time” tour of old
Humboldt, its buildings and surroundings. The tour ended with a
visit to the Museum.
Thank you to Sue Palacios and
the DHHS volunteers, and to all our
community participants for making
this another memorable Pioneer
Day.

MINE TOUR & BBQ
On May 9th the DeweyHumboldt Historical Society held
their second annual Mine Tour &
BBQ out in the Bradshaw Mts. The
word got out with all the advertising
that was available. Calls were still
coming in the day of the event wanting to get on the list; no one was refused. The volunteers from the Society were excited to have the community interested
in
and looking
forward
to
taking
a
Mine Tour
with Kevin
Leonard,
John
Young, and Phillip Condrey. The
group of Prospectors from the PHX
chapter GPAP came out to show
how to pan for Gold and they raffled
off a Gold Nugget with the proceeds
going to the Historical Society.
Country Gospel Music from the Orchard Ranch, Blue Grass and just
good ole
country
music
was enjoyed by
all. The
BBQs
were

fired up with hamburgers and hot
dogs, and plates
were filled with
delicious
food.
The kids enjoyed
the Mule rides and
some learned how
to do some trick roping.
The weather
was wonderful after it
had been so threatening the day before,
and a great time was
had by all. We plan
to do it again next
year!

HUMBOLDT ELEMETARY
SCHOOL’S GARDEN
The Bradshaw Mountain Lions
Club of Dewey-Humboldt has spent
many afternoons this Spring helping to
develop and maintain Humboldt Elementary School’s Garden, Habitat and
Hiking Trails. Activities have included
constructing a compost bin, weeding,
raking, planting trees, shrubs and flowers, watering, fixing drainage pipes,
consulting on sink and plumbing and
soon, installing gutters and converting
a unused septic tank to rainwater storage. No task is too daunting! Garden
director and HES music teacher Bart
Brush and volunteer Sandy Geiger are
grateful for their help and interest and
Lions Club members enjoy the service
and the garden goodies!

6 The Dewey-Humboldt Newsletter
FOR YOUR INFORMATION:
From: ABC 15 (Phoenix)
A new report from the federal government puts Arizona near the top of a rather undistinguished list, states with the highest rates of fraud and identity theft According to the
latest rankings from the Federal Trade Commission, Arizona is now ranked 9th overall
when it comes to identity theft. We're 16th when it comes to fraud schemes.
Both fraud and identity theft are growing at an alarming rate across the United
States. But when it comes to city rankings across the U.S., the Sierra Vista-Douglas area
in southeast Arizona is number one for fraud, making it tops in the country per capita.
Prescott comes in 10th and the Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale area ranks 25th.
The ABC15 Investigators did a breakout of the types of fraud happening in Arizona.
They found imposter scams are the most prevalent, followed by bogus debt collection and
phony bank and lender schemes. Telephone and auto-related fraud round out the top 5
on the list. When it comes to identity theft, stolen information lifted from government documents and benefits rank first and second on the list, followed by stolen credit card information. Phone and utility schemes come in fourth, while bogus banking scams come in
fifth.
