Creek returned to natural beauty
For now, Northern Arizona University will be watching the creek to see how the life in and around the creek responds to the increased water flow now that Arizona Public Service officially closed the Irving and Childs power plants. The creek's restoration provides the opportunity to learn whether a man-made restoration can be effective, said Bill Auberle, director of Engineering Programs at NAU. Auberle has been working as the head of research and coordination of Fossil Creek for NAU. "This is part of a once in a lifetime [opportunity] because we don't see deconstruction and reconstruction of ecosystem," he said.

Japanese Olympic swimmers return to train at NAU
In the 2004 Athens Olympics, Japanese swimmers made their presence known on the world stage. And Northern Arizona's Center for High Altitude Training played a big role in that success, allowing the Japanese a quiet venue for altitude training prior to the start of the Games. Now, the Japanese are back in town to train for the FINA World Championships, which will be held July 16-31 in Montreal. A delegation of 50 Japanese swimmers and support personnel arrived in Flagstaff Tuesday to kick off a three-week training camp.

Let's go with the flow
The right thing to do. Those five words sum up why Arizona Public Service Co. put the water back into Fossil Creek. In a remarkable collaboration, APS worked with government agencies, environmentalists, Northern Arizona University and the Yavapai Apache Nation.
