The small writer’s group in Williams is expanding in size and scope. Their plans are to tackle the intricacies of screenplays. The group normally meets once a month at the Williams Public Library, but will have two meetings next month.
On February 4th at 9 a.m. David Seals will be conducting a screenplay workshop. He is asking the group to write a 5 page treatment. Mr. Seals has been a writer in different genres for 45 years and has published with Penguin and Random House. David wrote Pow Wow Highway in 1989 which won awards at the Sundance Film Festivals in San Francisco, Montreal and Milan.
The regular meeting of the Northern Arizona Authors Group is scheduled for February 18th at 9 a.m. If the library is closed due to the holiday, the meeting will be held in the Brown Bag Sandwich restaurant across the street.

Scottsdale, AZ — Shortly after launching its Gear Up Center online store, Recon LLC has announced the arrival of its newest innovation, The Crovel Folding Shovel. After purchasing countless shovels, creator Tim Ralston conceived the idea and followed through with extensive research. The ex-military expert decided to move forward and develop the e-tool by combining several tools into one with its base serving as a crowbar and a shovel. The Crovel (shovel + crowbar) was unveiled at an outdoor camping gear show and introduced as the next evolution of the e-tool to the show’s attendees. The Crovel shovel offers multiple functions such as a hammer, ax, pick, pry bar, hoe, and machete. During the audience demonstrations, the Crovel’s sheer strength and solid construction proved the tool to be virtually indestructible and highly versatile compared to other folding shovels.
Made of 10 gauge-hardened steel, the Crovel claims to outlast and outdo its fellow competitors who offer stamped steel shovelheads with wooden handles. When put through a rigid test, competing folding shovels frequently bent and broke while the Croval remained in tact. By combining several tools into one, the Crovel can reduce excess weight of unneeded gear by approximately 45 pounds. Made for durability, multiple functionality and handling ease, the sharpness and strength of the Crovel’s edge gives the user the options for cutting, chopping, and sawing while keeping its edge. The shovel’s handle is a 19” hardened gooseneck crowbar with a hammer face on the end to add additional strength and function. Further distinguishing it from its competitors, the Crovel has 550 para cord wrapped around the handle for additional grip strength while giving the user 15-20’ of life-saving material that can be used thousands of different ways.
