3 DIE IN FIERY HWY CRASH
 Wikieup - An accident involving a tanker truck hauling acid neutralizer, a corrosive material, and a passenger car resulted in a several-hour closure of State Route 93 Tuesday. According to Steve Volden with the Department of Public Safety, the closure affected a number of people, and it was wide spread. The accident was just north of Wickenburg at the junction of 93 and 71. Traffic was halted north on 93. People had to either go through Prescott or go out towards Parker. The people going south were not able to get on 93 from Interstate 40.
While details are dim about the cause of the accident. Reports state that the truck burst into flames after the collision. The driver of the tanker truck was reported dead at the scene. According to reports, Frederick C. Alcorn, 64, the driver of a 1996 Ford, was traveling southbound on U.S. 93 at about 2:30 p.m. Tuesday He crossed the center line and smashed head-on into a truck driven by Thomas E Dean, 51, of Riverton, Utah. Both vehicles burst into flames, killing both drivers and a passenger in the car, Mary Alcorn, 60. All three were pronounced dead at the scene from massive trauma.

Thanksgiving Thoughts
Enter into His gates with Thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise; be Thankful unto Him, and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endureth to all generations. Psalm 100. This is a blessed time of year when we stop and give thanks for our many blessings. Many traditions are changing or being dropped all together. However, this Thanksgiving I will be with my family giving thanks to my God for blessings in my work, home, health, family and wonderful friends. All is well and I am at peace. Becky

HEALTH OFFICIALS PROJECT BAD FLU SEASON
Mohave County - The flu season seems to be coming to the Tri-State area earlier than normal according to health officials. It does seem to be starting a little bit earlier than it has in previous years, so they think that it will be a little bit more severe of a flu season based on that. Here in Mohave County we don't have any cases right now that we have been told about from the doctors. But it is important to know that flu is not a disease that is required to be reported. "So if a doctor does have a case, he is not required to let us know that," said Jennifer McNally with the Mohave County Department of Public Health. She said that the department does have people on the lookout for the seasonal illness. "They have what are called sentinel physicians and its just some physicians who are selected that if they do have somebody come in and is diagnosed with the flu, they do report that to us." She added that the best defense is to get a flu shot.

RIVER STOCKED WITH FISH
Colorado River - On Tuesday, Arizona Game and Fish stocked about 5,000 five inch trout in the Colorado River below Davis Dam. The fish are from the Page Springs Hatchery, a surplus because of lake closures in the Flagstaff area. The Willow Beach National Fish Hatchery conducted the stocking along the Arizona and Nevada shorelines from Davis Dam to about one mile down river. Andy Clark, the Kingman regional fisheries biologist, said the trout should grow to a foot by March or April and "Spring fishing along this stretch of the Colorado should be excellent."

EDITOR NEEDED
The editor of this paper AND The Civic needs an assistant. I need someone that I can train to possibly take over in the event something happens to me. Besides, this little paper is growing very fast and there is going to be room for expansion soon. It would be part time work, but you must be quite computer literate. There is no pay from the Civic Association, so the hours and pay are low, but great potential. If interested, call me at 768-1400 or email ys@goldenshores.net.
