HOUSE BURNS AGAIN

 G.S. - Less than six days after the house burned at the corner of Pecos and West, it was set fire again. Saturday evening 3/20 at about 10:00 p.m. the fire department responded to the same house as the past Sunday night/Monday morning. Statements were heard from onlookers and passersby like, "I guess the arsonist didn't finish up the first time, so he came back." Well, it was finished. There's not much left of the house after this fire. Fire department officials went around asking questions of onlookers and area residents. Assistant Fire Chief Debbie Muston said, "We really need your help." If you know anything about anyone related to the fires, please contact the G.S. Fire Department. "You can be kept anonymous," Muston said. It is believed the owners have been contacted. However, they haven't been around much. They do not live in Golden Shores.

GOVERNOR MEETS WITH MEXICANS

 Phoenix - This Friday 3/26 Governor Janet Napolitano will be spending the day in Nogales and Tucson, meeting with community members to discuss the important issues related to trade and transportation along the border. It is important to Arizona's economy to maintain smooth commercial border crossings in Nogales, so she will be traveling there to mark some important improvements. The governor said, "Little else matters if goods and services cannot actually cross borders."
At the Mariposa border crossing in Nogales, we will kick off a new traffic management system that will improve commercial vehicle operations at the Mariposa port. She also plans to meet with Governor Eduardo Bours, her Sonoran counterpart, to discuss trade and border issues.
President Bush will be in Arizona again this Friday. The governor invited him to join her on this trip to southern Arizona so he could get a firsthand account of international trade on the Arizona border. Unfortunately, the President has declined the invitation with a promise to return. What happens in border communities is vitally important to the economic and social health of the rest of Arizona. A visit from the President would be very helpful, both to those communities and to the White House. "I look forward to the President's return," the governor said.

FORMER COUNTY CLERK GOING TO PRISON
 Kingman - The former Mohave County Superior Court Clerk who stole thousands of dollars from the county was not sentenced Friday as scheduled. The hearing was postponed for a couple weeks because of uncertainty related to a previous probation for Cynthia Peterkin. Judge Michael Burke said he’s likely sending Peterkin to prison when sentencing arrives. And for that reason, Judge Burke revoked her probation and ordered that Peterkin be held in Mohave County Jail while awaiting sentencing.

COURT CLOSES WATER ACCESS
Tristate - Persons curious about water levels on Lake Havasu, the Colorado River and other waterways will not be able to find that information on the web anymore. The Bureau of Reclamation, which is a part of the U.S. Department of the Interior, was ordered by the U.S. District Court to shut down their website. Bob Walsh of the Bureau’s Lower Colorado Region that services most of the Tri-State, said what he could about the situation. "I really don’t have a lot. It has to do with a district court order against the Interior Department. I think it has to do with some Indian trust asset issues, but I don’t have any background." Walsh said there are other sources people looking for the information can turn. "They could call here at my office, the same number you called or we do have a river operations center that they could call. And we would be glad to give them the information that we have until we get our site back up." The number to call is (702) 293-8421 or (702)-293-8680.
