ALCALDIA DEL FRENTE SANDINISTA INAUGURA 50 PORCHES Y 10 VIVIENDAS. - Video

As the alpenglow of the setting sun shed a rosy hue over Young, porches filled up with residents flush with the warm good feelings from the events of the 25th Annual Pleasant Valley Days.

This tiny hamlet tucked between the Sierra Anchas and the Mogollon Rim has lusciously verdant grass that harkens to what Arizona looked like when cattle outfits first used the place to fatten up their cows for market in the late 1870s.

The three-day event introduces visitors to the most violent range war in American history.

As many as 50 people died during the 10 years of the war.

That included many hapless travelers crossing the valley between 1882 and 1892 who simply vanished, never to be seen again. The complicated struggle pitted the Grahams and their allies against the Tewksbury clan and their allies. The weekend event drew descendants of the Tewksburys, since the feud pretty much wiped out the Grahams. The complex series of shoot-outs, bushwhackings, beheadings, double-crosses and lynchings produced one of the most confusing, violent and lawless conflicts in the dark but romanticized history of the Wild West. In the process, Pleasant Valley became a refuge for rustlers. The conflict may have single-handedly delayed Arizona statehood for a decade.

The weekend proved considerably more peaceful.

Saturday started with a parade marshaled by the Pyles, Jinx and Jane. The two have each finished books on the Pleasant Valley War after years of exhaustive research.

After the parade, about 40 people trooped over to the Young Cemetery and Museum to hear a rendition of the war from local history teacher Pat Murdock. Others retired to the Young Community Center to watch the start of the roping contest.

Unlike todays modern organized rodeos, the Young roping contest involved anyone who could throw a rope and ride a horse, from pre-teens to retirees. Contestants milled about in the ring waiting to partner up with someone and go after their target, while their families sat under the shade of awnings next to horse trailers cheering on their favorites.

Whether its for reading, entertaining or simply keeping up with the neighbors, a front porch for many is a most inviting retreat. Not quite inside but not quite out, a porch offers shelter from the rain, a place to work a crossword puzzle, a cozy spot for unwinding after a long day. Porches of many styles are found on homes of all ages including new houses, as many homeowners long to become better connected to their communities.

The best old porches have been lovingly cared for or restored, and the best new ones reflect the architectural style of the house and look as if they have always been there.

In the summer its a joy to come across an attractively decorated porch. American flags, colorful pillows, railing planters packed with flowers and dining tables topped with vintage linens all help create what one homeowner called an outdoor living room.

Then again, upkeep and renovation can be costly. Theft of furniture is not unheard of, which is why some homeowners secure it to railings. Privacy may become an issue. A street-facing porch is not a private backyard deck.

Still, porch fans say the positives outweigh the negatives. Good conversations can take place here. Family memories made. A new or updated porch adds curb appeal.

Cost-wise, on an existing porch, you can spend a few thousand dollars to replace railings and porch decking, said Mike Washington, president of Ivy Lea Construction of Tonawanda.

Adding a new porch, from the ground up, can cost anywhere from $15,000 to $30,000 depending on materials and size, he said.

If the porch is structurally fine, you can spruce it up for a couple hundred dollars with a fresh coat of paint, he added.

Even small porches can offer plenty of charm, as can second-story porches beloved by many Buffalonians. You dont have to look far to spot some stylish porches. Turn to Page F5 to see some we came across.

The only thing missing from a recent visit to Marc and Susan Carpenters front porch was a parade on the nearby street. Early Americana is the theme here, with white wicker chairs, red cushions, a collection of flags and vintage decor. Most everything is original on this wraparound porch, including the pillars, floor and front door. Last year some of the wood spindles on the railing needed to be replaced because they had rotted.

Four men have been arrested in connection to a string of vehicle burglaries in Tangipahoa Parish that date back to May 2014.

The vehicle burglaries, more than a dozen, stretched between Old Covington Highway to River Road and into the City of Hammond.

Sheriffs detectives received information that 33-year-old Kevin Gales was the alleged primary suspect. Deputies say Gales was working with several associates in connection to these burglaries. The sheriff's office and the Hammond Police Department teamed up to catch the alleged crooks.

In the predawn hours of July 15, 2014, the Hammond Police Department stopped a vehicle occupied by Gales. During the roadside investigation, officers found four stolen firearms inside the vehicle. Two of the recovered firearms were reported stolen from a marked law enforcement unit on July 9, 2014.

Search warrants were executed at several homes in Hammond, including Gales' home. Investigators found numerous reported stolen items, including a bullet proof vest and ammo. Those items were reported stolen in May 2014.

Deputies say 33-year-old Kevin Gales, 18-year-old Cody Austin, 50-year-old Garvey Newman and 18-year-old Khalil Franklin, all of Hammond, were arrested. They were all chchargedith four counts of felony possession of a firearm and two counts of felony possession of stolen property.

Jaguars, such as this one, will be part of the annual Classic Sports Car Show that will be held on lower Main Street on Saturday, July 26. The event will be presented by the Bonneville Austin Healey Club. (Photo courtesy of Jim Revel)

Owners have shown off their Austin Healeys, Jaguars, Porches and other European autos to anyone who comes to see them.

This year, the Bonneville Austin Healey Club will sponsor the sixth Annual Classic Sports Car Show in Park City on Saturday, July 26. The vehicles will be on display from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.

There is no charge for the public to come enjoy the cars and talk to the owners, according to Jim Revel, a member of the Bonneville Austin Healey Club.

In addition to Austin Healeys, there will be Jaguars, Porches and a couple of Corvettes, Revel said.

"The organizers are planning on having 60 vehicles entered this year," Revel told The Park Record. "There is still time for anyone to register their car."

Owners of any sports car manufactured before 1994 can enter the show.

"That doesn't sound like too long ago, but when you think about it, it was," Revel said. "So the cars that will be in the show will be at least 20 years old."

The date limit was set because the Austin Healey Club's goal was to get at least 60 cars registered for the show.

"In the past we've had between 30 and 40 cars on display," he said. "We also wanted to see if we can get younger car owners involved."
