National Independence Day History Corner:
|
When
It All Began
On July 2nd, 1776, the Continental Congress voted in favor of independence, and two days later delegates from the 13 colonies adopted the Declaration of Independence, a historic document drafted by Thomas Jefferson. In celebration of this historic event,
the United States in 1941 declared July 4
th
a federal holiday.
BUT
…
Did you know? John Adams believed that July 2nd was the correct date on which to celebrate the birth of American independence, and would reportedly turn down invitations to appear at July 4th events in protest. Adams and Thomas Jefferson both died on July 4, 1826—the 50th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence.
Thank you

Independence
Day
***
2019
This year, once again Civana Spa & Resort is presenting its spectacular Drone Light Show preceded by a Community Block Party on July 6th. Harold's 2nd Annual Infamous Independence Day Party on July 3rd will include entertainment by Mogollon, dart and pool tournaments, beer pong, and a hot dog eating contest (Hot Dogs - Woof Woof)! Sounds like fun. We can count on The Roadhouse to also pull in crowds with live music and lots of partying at their Freedom Fest 3
rd
of July Blowout.
Even without fireworks, the beat goes on in our wonderful, unique Western Town! No doubt local businesses are already looking ahead to Independence Day 2020 with more fun, creative ways to draw people to our little end of the world "Where the Wild West Lives." Hmmmm....Maybe Colonial Re-enactments? Maybe a Sheep Drive Though Town? Maybe an After Dark Freedom Parade? Street Jugglers & Jesters? Or even a flag wavin’ Antique Car Show? Surely local merchants will put their heads together and surprise us with even more cool stuff next year!
Happy July 4th!

Cyberattacks!
,
Eeeeeek!!!
Cyberattacks are out there and and the thought of being hit by one sure is frightening!!! But, fear not; help is on the way.
Steve Woods and his talented crew at Tech4Life are always there for us and our many I.T. needs but, one thing Steve's really hot on is
cyber security
. We certainly want to be protected as individuals and, of course, as businesses too. Steve has written an excellent article on the topic of cyber security from which we can all benefit. Click
HERE
to read it.
'Want more info on this topic??? Steve has it for us. In fact, he's presenting a 1.5 hour class on "Cyber Security" at our local Desert Foothills Library on August 1st. Registration is currently open at the cost of $44/person. For class and registration info click
HERE
.
BTW:
O
n June 10th, Tech4Life celebrated their 15 year anniversary.
Congratulations
and thank you for being there for your local community.

HARMONY HOLLOW RANCH
Wouldn’t it be amazing if one (or a group of) our local merchants embraced the goal of helping to make Harmony Hollow part of Spur Cross Ranch Conservation Area! There are many ways to become involved and make this a reality. Do consider attending this July 6th info meeting and learn how you can help.
Is financial support of this project of interest to you?
Advantage for involved merchant/s would be:
Expand the brand (business name associated with this project) – Tax advantage – Pride of preservation.
Advantage for Cave Creek would be:
Preserves a precious part of our desert and melds it into Spur Cross Ranch Conservation Area, a natural gem that entices visitors to our town.

FANTASTICOS
**New Name - Same Fame**
If you haven't already noticed the business name over Filiberto's has changed.
BUT
- Fear not! Lorena, Noah and their daughter are still there greeting you as you come through the door and still sending you off with a tummy full of great Mexican food. The only difference is...their biz name has changed from Filiberto's to Fantasticos.
Same nice folks and same good food! Muy Bien.

July Greetings from Marshal Stein,
June has been a busy month. We have unfortunately had more than our fair share of brush fires and for some reason, more than a couple of vehicles have pulled down telephone and cable lines lately throughout town. Please be mindful of how dangerously dry things are in town. Be certain to build a defensible area around your homes and businesses. Take extra precautions when grilling outside and any welding you may be doing. Unfortunately we saw yet another brush fire last week from some inconsiderate motorist, flicking a lit cigarette out the window while driving. Thank heavens that Rural Metro responded quickly and aggressively knocked out the fire.
Please be careful this July 4
th
. Take extra precautions if utilizing ANY type of fireworks. We all need to work together to minimize the potential risk of fire.
We are starting to plan for a coupe of events already for our cooler season. Please mark your calendars for the following great events:
Oct 16 and 17:
Taste of Cave Creek
November 9th:
Our
first ever
Health and Wellness Expo
If you or your business wish to participate in the above events, please let me know and we will make certain you are included.
Have a great month!
Marshal Stein

Sanitariums in Cave Creek
By Darlene Southern
After the era of mining, the town of Cave Creek was a thriving cattle- and sheep-ranching community, but a harsh drought in the beginning decade of the 20th century forced many of the ranches to cease operation. Once again, Cave Creek had to reinvent itself. We may not have had rain, but we had plenty of sunshine! Thus came the period when Cave Creek welcomed those who suffered from a variety of lung ailments (known as "lungers") to come bask in the heat and sun and hopefully become well.
Sanitariums were created to house the invalids---the largest and most famous was run by the Jones family. It was called "Desmount"---a merging of Desert and Mountain (see photo above). It consisted of a large main building that housed bathrooms, a dining room, a social room and an infirmary. Small cabins that housed from one to four patients were placed around the main building. The last remaining "T.B. Cabin" is now proudly exhibited at the Cave Creek Museum and as the sole example of its type, has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Where Desmount was situated is now the property occupied by the famous Horny Toad Restaurant and Bar, as well as the Cave Creek Christmas Company, Spur Cross Cycles, and The Creeker Boutique.

What's the
BEST
way of cooling off in July? Thinking about
Christmas
, of course!
The Buffalo Chip
is doing just that on July 24th. Sounds like fun!
And...In Carefree, do find time to check out Ray Villafane's new dragon sand sculpture near Black Mountain Coffee Shop. Wow! Can this guy do wonders with sand. I imagine he was really intimidating around other kids at the beach when he was a little boy. (His scarecrow artist in front of Keeler's is fun too!)
