JOHN P. BOYLE Jr. DIES
 G.S. - Monday evening around 9:00 p.m. a hysterical call was heard on the fire channel on the radio. Golden Shores Fire Department responded very quickly to the home on Powel Lake where J.P. Boyle had been found on the floor of the garage. The first man on the scene immediately requested an airlift to a trauma unit. Additional G.S. Fire personnel arrived and quickly transported him to Needles where he was immediately airlifted to Las Vegas where he died a short time later from massive trauma. Boyle had been working on an vehicle at his residence when the engine exploded.
The G.S. Fire department is upset over the tragic loss of a member who responded to every call and has been around firefighters all his life. Boyle was 26 and was the department training officer. His father is Capt. John Boyle, Sr. and uncle is department Chief Jim Boyle. J.P. Boyle was a friend of many and will be missed.
The G.S. Fire Department received assistance covering calls Tuesday from other area departments such as Lake Havasu City. They have received offers from every other department in the area.
Arrangements for a service have not yet been made, but the public will be notified when information is available. Donations to the family for expenses can be taken to the fire department.

OPINIONS
Trash in G.S. - I have lived in this area for a few years and it is amazing to me the amount of trash you see laying everywhere. You'd think the amount of people who live here, and are retired, could get organized and start picking up some of the trash. I work 5 days a week and on weekends try to keep the area I live in as clean as I can. Get a clue civic leaders, realtors, take some pride in your area and clean up the trash.
