FLAGS AT HALF-MAST
 G.S. - Several people have been asking around as to why the flag at the fire department was at half-mast over the weekend. The fire department reported that a firefighter died in a brush fire near Flagstaff last week and the flag was in honor of him.

NO FIREWORKS ! ! !
 G.S. - The Golden Shores Fire Department is warning that fireworks are ILLEGAL in Arizona. Because everything is so dry this year, they are not at all tolerant of fireworks. Debbie said, "first time, a warning, second time we call the sheriff." We really don't want anyone to get hurt this year with fireworks. Please be careful, no matter what you do.

BODY PART FOUND IN SEWER
 Kingman - A human body part has been found at a water treatment plant outside of Kingman, spurring an investigation by Mohave County authorities. Detectives were called to the plant after Kingman workers found a penis in a water filter, authorities said Tuesday.
Both the Mohave County Sheriff's Office and Kingman Police Department are investigating, said Jarrod Lyman, a sheriff's spokesman. "We don't have any leads at this point," Lyman said. "We are investigating all possibilities," including foul play.
The discovery was made Friday at the Hilltop Wastewater Treatment Facility, he said.

SHERIFF'S OFFICE GEARING UP FOR HOLIDAY WEEKEND
 Colorado River - The Mohave County Sheriff's Office is gearing up for what is anticipated as a busy holiday weekend. Numerous boaters are expected on Lake Havasu for Memorial Day; traditionally the busiest summer time holiday on Lake Havasu. In anticipation of the influx of boaters, MCSO personnel have been readying the fleet consisting of 10 boats that are permanently stationed on the river. Personnel are also drawing up their focus points for the weekend.
"We will be on the lookout for the standard infractions," said Sheriff Tom Sheahan. "We will be strictly enforcing the OUI (Operating Under the Influence) laws as well as looking for boaters operating their vessels recklessly," Sheriff Sheahan said. "We will also be patrolling Thompson Bay looking for people operating above a wakeless speed in the no wake zone. That is a big safety issue," Sheriff Sheahan said.
Another area of focus will be excessively noisy boats. "In addition to the safety regulations that we will be enforcing, we will also be on the lookout for these infractions. We hope all of the visitors to the Lake Havasu City have a great and safe holiday weekend. As always, safety is our number one goal," Sheriff Sheahan said.

FOOD CARE SHUTS DOWN
 G.S. - In the July issue of The Civic there is a notice that the Food Care program from St. Mary's in Phoenix has shut off their delivery of food to Golden Shores.
A letter to Alberta Thrasher dated June 12, 2003, states they "will not be delivering food out of state and to those that are in another food bank's service area after June 30, 2003." They further stated that "Westside Food Bank services the Mohave County area with the Care Club Program, very similar to Food Care." However, Alberta Thrasher said "That will not work for Golden Shores because 1. They deliver on Tuesdays and I can't get help on Tuesdays, and 2. People cannot pick up their food on Tuesdays."
There is a good number of people that have depended on the Food Care program for a long time. In fact, some people actually live a good part of the month on their Food Care distribution. So if you are some of those people, perhaps you could volunteer to help with a Tuesday program rather than a Saturday program. There is no need for the Food Share Program to shut off those in Golden Shores who really need that food. In fact, the pastor of the church, Bruce Daniel, has made mention several times that the church is the one that should be handling Food Care instead of the Civic Association. So there are some options available. Someone needs to take charge and check them out.

TOPOCK CAMPUS CLOSED
 G.S. - The Topock School has been trying to keep the campus open so people can use the field, play basketball, etc. However this past week we have: a table turned upside down and moved out to the field, rocks and shoes thrown on the roof, vulgar graffitti written on the concrete patio, and a broken window. These things take time and money to fix or replace and comes directly out of the budget, money that should be used to educate our children.
Sad........THE CAMPUS IS NOW CLOSED FOR THE SUMMER.
If you have observed any suspicious activities at the school, please contact Mr. Agenbroad or Mr. Warren at 768-3344 or the Mohave County Sheriff at 768-7055. Your assistance is greatly appreciated!
