PAWS: Asset #7 Community Values Youth, Robin Reece, 2010; Flagstaff City Hall – North Parking Lot
Promoting Assets with Sculpture, or PAWS, is a Coconino Coalition for Children and Youth project. Upon completion, a total of 40 mountain lion sculptures will be decorated to visually depict the 40 Developmental Assets. Developmental Assets are values all young people need to succeed. Each sculpture illustrates one asset. This public art and education effort highlights the work of local sculptor Dion Wright, who created the prototype in 2009, and local artists chosen to work with children and/or teens to paint and decorate the sculptures. For a complete list of PAWS sculptures, visit www.coconinokids.org.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Flagstaff was a name on a map before the area had any significant population. The first permanent settler was Thomas F. McMillan who arrived sometime in 1876. On July 4, 1876, a party of emigrants traveling from Boston to California was camped at Antelope Springs, near McMillan's homestead and in the vicinity of present-day Marshall Elementary School. In honor of the nation's Centennial, the emigrants stripped the limbs from a tall Ponderosa Pine tree and hoisted Old Glory. This event gave Flagstaff its name.
In 1881, the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad was being constructed westward from Albuquerque along the 35th Parallel to California. The first train pulled into Flagstaff in August 1882. At the same time, a lumber mill had been built by Chicago industrialist Edward E. Ayer to take advantage of the abundance of timber in the Flagstaff area. The railroad and the lumber industry together created the settlement we know as Flagstaff.
A small tent city grew up beside the railroad tracks near Old Town Spring, along present-day Lower Coconino Avenue. The town was relocated to New Town (the present-day downtown area) in 1882.

- Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.)
I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
- Connection Not Secure messages? Those warnings you get from your browser about this site not having secure connections worry some people. This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information. But this site doesn't collect any personal information so SSL is not necessary. Life's good!
