Winslow meteorite sells for record price…

Someone bought a very special rock. Many people may not know that a meteorite from the meteor that created the famous Meteor Crater natural historic landmark site just west of Winslow was recovered and weighs 70 pounds. The artistic-looking meteor just sold at auction for a whopping $237,500 according to Space.com contributor, Samantha Mathewson in a recent story on the website. The mostly iron rock was bought at an online auction site.

The crater, also called the Barringer Meteorite Crater, is a massive hole created by an estimated 130-foot diameter meteorite which, after impact became the 70 pound artifact. The impact was said to have had the power of 100 atomic bombs when it occurred 50,000 years ago. The crater created by the impact, according to the article was 570 feet deep and 4100 feet across.

The sale was conducted by Christie’s “Deep Impact: Martian, Lunar and Other Rare Meteorites” online auction.

“While the world’s fascination with meteorites is roaring, the market for sculptural iron meteorites has exploded — and rightly so,” Darryl Pitt, curator of the Macovich Collection of Meteorites in New York City, said in a statement. “Less than two percent of all meteorites are of the iron variety, and less than five percent of those are aesthetic and deservedly regarded as natural sculpture from outer space,” said the article.

Several other meteorites were sold at the auction including one from Mars, one that was extraterrestrial and full of gemstones, and another was on display from the explosion over Michigan in January, which will be sold at another Christie’s auction in April.

Troy Gentry’s Wife Sues Helicopter Manufacturer

As Troy Gentry continues to be mourned by the country community following a fatal helicopter crash last September, his wife has filed a lawsuit against the aircraft’s manufacturer.

Angela Gentry is taking action against Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., Sikorsky Global Helicopters and Keystone Helicopter Corp., all of which are attributed to the Model 269 Schweitzer helicopter in which Troy was riding when it crashed on Sept. 8, 2017. According to legal documents obtained by PEOPLE , Angela is blaming the companies for “dangerous defects which caused” the death of her husband.

At the time of Troy’s death, a preliminary incident report by the NTSB cited engine trouble that occurred shortly after takeoff. Angela’s lawsuit claims that the pilot had invited the Montgomery Gentry singer on a sightseeing ride at the Flying W Airport & Resort in Medford, New Jersey, just hours before he and bandmate Eddie Montgomery were set to perform there. The engine issues made the helicopter “drop like a stone to the ground below,” according to the suit, leaving both Gentry and the pilot dead.

A conditional use permit application submitted to the Show Low Planning and Zoning Commission indicates that a Goodwill store will be coming to the community.

The grading permit, submitted by George Pasquell III of Withey Morris PLC, was approved by the Show Low Planning and Zoning Commission on Tuesday, Jan. 9. According to the permit, the applicant represents Goodwill, a non-profit agency which operates secondhand retail stores and donation centers.

The property, located at 4470 S. White Mountain Road., is already zoned C-2 which designates “general commercial,” and requires a conditional use permit (CUP) for grading and submission of a conceptual site plan. The permit application is for an 18,000 sq. ft. Goodwill retail store and donation center.

The lot, currently unoccupied, sits on the west side of AZ 260 and to the south of Pizza Hut in Show Low. Crystal Dragon and Sweet Illusions sit on the hill immediately to the south of the lot.

The Commission reported receiving “several phone calls from neighboring property owners regarding the nature of the request, with one caller expressing concerns regarding donations at the subject property; however no opposition to the proposed project has been received.”
