DID YOU KNOW? GRAND CANYON A GRAND HOAX? In 1909, the Canyon was the site of a giant hoax. The Arizona Gazette reported that archaeologists had discovered traces of an ancient Tibetan or Egyptian civilization in an underground tunnel in the canyon. The Smithsonian denied the entire story, claiming they had no knowledge of the archaeologists. To this day, conspiracy theorists still believe this may have been a government cover-up. Grand Canyon National Park is bigger than the entire state of Rhode Island. From the canyon’s rim to its lowest point, the temperature can change by more than 25 degrees. The depths of the gorge are hot during the summer, and the North Rim is often below-freezing in winter. An estimated 1,000 caves are within the canyon, but only 335 have been recorded. Only one cave is open to the public. The Grand Canyon is home to fossils of ancient marine animals that date back 1.2 billion years. Each year, around five million visitors worldwide visit Grand Canyon National Park. The Hopi Indian Tribe believes that a person passes upstream on the Colorado River to be on their way to a life after death. The Havasupai is a Southwest Indian Tribe located within and around the Grand Canyon. They are known as the “People of the Blue-Green Waters” due to the water that surrounds them. Supai is the name of the city at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. The town is the capital of the Havasupai Indian Reservation and is home to around 400 tribe members. The Skywalk is the most popular Grand Canyon attraction, a horseshoe-shaped glass bridge extending 70 feet from the Grand Canyon wall. On January 11, 1908, President Theodore Roosevelt designated the Grand Canyon a National Monument. In November 2019, Colorado resident John Jepkema became the oldest person to cross the Grand Canyon from rim to rim on foot. He was 91 years and 152 days old.

50 OCTOBER 2023 BECOME AN INSIDER and get the latest news! Free e-newsletter SNAP HERE arcadianews.com/newsletters or visit By Jennifer Marshall Arcadian Vessa Turley began her tennis journey at age eight, with her mother by her side as her first teacher. Those initial lessons happened on the Herberger Park tennis courts, followed by years of private lessons with Coach Ali Borhani. Since that humble beginning, she’s moved on to competing nationally and internationally and recently won the United States Tennis Association (USTA) Billie Jean King National Title. “I started coaching Vessa in 2021 after leaving my position at Boise State to coach her,” Borhani said. “Since then, Vessa has won two gold balls, one silver ball and another 12 titles internationally while finishing two years as the number one doubles player in the country.” The tournament, the largest USTA event of the year, was held at Barnes Tennis Center in San Diego in August. Vessa said the match served as a platform for around 150 college coaches recruiting for their respective teams. “I competed against about 200 girls who are top in the nation in 16 and under,” Vessa said. “My partner Leena Friedman and I played six rounds to win the tournament without dropping a set and finishing number one in the country.” This was the first time that Vessa and Leena – who hails from New York – played together. “Leena and I had the best chemistry and so much fun lifting each other’s play,” Vessa said. “What we accomplished was truly remarkable.” “Words can’t describe the joy and excitement I had watching Vessa win the last point of the tournament and knowing she has another gold ball under her belt,” Borhani said. “Winning this prestigious event with a partner she has never played with before is incredible. Doing so while never dropping a set or being behind in any of the six matches is unheard of.” Before the match, Vessa and Leena were given the opportunity to meet tennis legend Billie Jean King. “She has such a presence about her, and made a few jokes that made the mood light and fun. She’s a treasure,” Vessa said. Along with this last tournament, Vessa placed in numerous other competitions this year: The J100 International Tennis Federation Lima Peru Doubles Champion, where she came in second; Doubles Champion at the J60 International Tennis Federation, Lima Peru; Doubles Champion at the J60 International Tennis Federation in Guatemala City; Winter Nationals Clay 16s Doubles National Gold Ball and Double Champion at the Eddie Herr International IMG Academy 16s. “Vessa has been a sheer joy to be around in her tennis journey,” Dad, Andrew, said. “She’s a special player because of her accomplishments and her approach off and on the court. She loves the big moment and relishes a large crowd. I believe she’s something like 16-2 all-time in championship matches.” Winning trophies and traveling are her favorite aspects of the game – but Vessa says the most challenging part is missing family when she’s away competing. The next few months will find her playing in Chile, Argentina, South Korea, Japan, China and Bolivia, where Vessa will compete in the junior pro circuit. “My biggest goal is being number one in the world, and on that path, that means most likely playing in college,” Turley said. “I’m so grateful tennis has given me this opportunity, and I’m thankful for my tennis coach, who works tirelessly to help me reach my goals.” Tennis star aims for the gold Leena Friedman and Vessa Turley meeting Billie Jean King.
