About Us

Here at Prescott eNews, we think there's a lot going on in the Prescott quad-city area. And, yes, we know that bad news happens, but we also know that a lot more good news happens. So, we intend to tell lots of good news, while not ignoring the bad news. 

Although there are some online news sites for the Prescott area, there aren't many that seem to take advantage of the medium of the internet. Here at Prescott eNews, we know the difference between putting a book or a newspaper online, and using the Internet to its full potential. And we think it's time that a quality news website makes its home in Prescott, Arizona.

How Old Are You?

Ssshhhh...! Don't tell anyone, but we launched our beta site in June, 2007. So, yeah, we're the new kid on the block. Well, at least for this particular site. But, our staff has been designing websites for nearly 10 years, and are also accomplished Photoshop digital artists, writers, photographers and design instructors. What all that means is that just because this particular site is new, it doesn't mean that we don't know what we're doing.

On Tuesday, September 11, at approximately 7:00 PM, the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office received a 911 report of a lost woman in the West Clear Creek area. Initial information indicated that the woman was somewhere between Bullpen and the upper end of the "Baldy Hill trailhead". The woman reported having been separated from her husband and two dogs since approximately 4:00 p.m.; neither adult had any water or flashlights with them.  

A search and rescue operation was initiated with members of the VERDE SEARCH AND RESCUE POSSE, Inc. and YCSO Volunteers in Protection. The reporting party was located on forest road 214 near milepost 4. She was found to be somewhat dehydrated but otherwise in good condition and no medical assistance was required.

Due to the hour and the nature of the trail, assistance with locating the male subject was requested from AZDPS Ranger (Kingman). At approximately midnight the helicopter crew located the male subject and the two dogs. All were found to be exhausted and dehydrated but otherwise in good condition.

The hikers were identified as Karen L. BLOSSOM, 47 and her husband David L. RUELLI, 53 of Maricopa, AZ. Ms. BLOSSOM reported that she and her husband had read about the hike in a publication titled "Best Loop Hikes of Arizona" and attributed their situation to insufficient information about the difficulty of the trail and the distance to West Clear Creek, which had been their intended destination.

YCSO reminds our citizens to be fully prepared when heading out on a hike. Take plenty of water and supplies and check with the local ranger stations for trail updates and current information.



Citizens can contact the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office with information or questions at
(928) 771-3260 or the YCSO website:  www.ycsoaz.gov
