Napolitano
"Mint "
To Be In Denver
DENVER, CO - Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano and other
state officials are in Denver today to put their blessings on their
state's first commemorative quarters. Napolitano was joined by Republican
Representative Jerry Weiers of Glendale and Treasurer Dean Martin
at the ceremony this morning at the Denver Mint.
You’d have to flip a coin over which side of the quarter looks
best. The tails side of the coin shows a Saguaro cactus in the foreground
and the Grand Canyon. On the front is -well, he’s been there
since 1932 - George Washington. The tail images are also joined
by a banner with the date of Arizona's statehood - Feb. 14th, 1912.
The quarters are issued in order of statehood. (Historical note:
That means Alaska and Hawaii come next. Those less educated might
think Puerto Rico)
Final
Filing Fling?
CLARK COUNTY, NV - Republican Clark County
Commissioner Bruce Woodbury filed earlier this month for re-election
to what he says is his final term. Woodbury represents District
A, which covers a portion of Henderson and all of Boulder City,
Laughlin, Searchlight and Mesquite.
The native Nevadan and Boulder City resident is also chairman of
both the Regional Trasportation Commission and the Big Bend Water
District Board.
Woodbury, considered one of the most influential Republicans in
the state, was first appointed to the Clark County Commission by
GOP Governor Robert List in 1981.
Ride
Safe
BULLHEAD CITY, AZ - Three motorcycle safety
courses are being offered at Mohave Community College's Bullhead
City Campus this weekend.
The longest of the three started this morning and is a 15-hour course
designed for Arizona residents seeking a motorcycle endorsement
on their driver's license. The course gives riders the basic knowledge
and skills in both the classroom and hands-on with a bike.
The second session, a license waiver course where a rider can bring
their own motorcycle and DOT-approved helmet for four hours of riding
instruction and a multiple-choice test, will be held this Sunday
from 7am to 11am. The $175 course also leads to an Arizona m/c endorsement.
California, however, does not recognize either course.
Finally, a skills practice course for those licensed to ride but
want a refresher safety course and possibly qualify for insurance
discounts, runs from 7am to 11am this Sunday. All participants should
bring their own motorcycle, a helmet and $125 to take the class.
All courses require participants to wear long sleeve shirts and
pants, suitable boots or similar sturdy footwear, gloves and eye
protection.

Student's Service Set,
Fund Established
LAUGHLIN, NV - Memorial services for Laughlin
High School senior Elexia "Lexi" Danielle Stafford, who
died tragically in a Mother's Day drowning at Davis Camp in Bullhead
City, will be held this Monday at 5pm at Laughlin High School. A
spokeswoman at Desert Lawn Memorial Gardens said a procession will
not take place after the ceremony. The Stafford family also plans
to hold a private service sometime next week.
The Mohave County Sheriff's office said Stafford and two other girls
were on a raft near Davis Camp, located just north of the Laughlin
Bridge on the Arizona side of the Colorado River. Apparently, the
three left the raft and began swimming to shore when Stafford went
under just after 4pm. Rescue workers from the Fort Mohave Mesa Fire
Department recovered her body at around 7:25pm, some 2 1/2 miles
downriver from Davis Camp near the Bullhead Area Chamber of Commerce.
Stafford started attending Laughlin High at the start of her junior
year and was chosen as the school's 2008 Prom Queen on April
19.
At Tuesday's Laughlin Town Advisory Board meeting, Chairwoman Cheryl
Crow said a memorial account has been opened at First National Bank
to help the Stafford family with funeral expenses. Donations can
be made to:
First National Bank of Nevada

Governor
Vetoes Bill
Voiding Vehicle Standards
ARIZONA - Governor Janet Napolitano vetoed
yesterday HB 2017, which would have negated her new vehicle emission
standards, calling the proposed legislation "micromanagement."
It would have prevented the state Department of Environmental
Quality from enacting any regulations curbing greenhouse-gas emissions
and would have killed rules just approved by the Governor's Regulatory
Review Council, which impose new carbon dioxide emission standards
on new cars and truck sold in Arizona beginning in 2011. HB 2017also
stated that no regulations limiting greenhouse gases could be
enacted or enforced without legislative approval.
In her veto statement, the governor said existing law already
gives the DEQ full authority to set emission standards for vehicles,
including setting limits on gases not already regulated, such
as carbon dioxide, which has been linked to global warming.

Good
Sunday Talks With
A Hazardous “Duke”
He says he’s proud to take the Bo Duke label to his
grave if necessary. Still, John Schneider has far more to
offer than “The Dukes of Hazard.” He’s bright,
insightful, and an accomplished country singer and Broadway
star. He also recently played Clark Kent’s dad on “Smallville”
and is now co-starring in a new film with Catherine Zeta Jones
(tough life for this “Duke,” who actually hails
from Mt. Kisco, NY.) He goes one-on-one this weekend with
host Roger Galloway in a lively interview that brings up John
Wayne, Tom Wopat, gas prices and a tv career versus a movie
career. (tune in, you’ll like this guy.”)
Then, the latest celebrity news with reporters from Hollywood
(Andre Fortin,) Nashville (Don Hinson,) and New York (Jack
Russell.) Hear what they have to say about Angelina Jolie’s
upcoming twins, the “American Idol” countdown
and Taylor Hicks’ going to Broadway, and the future
and past of Billy Ray and Miley Cyrus.
Entertainment galore for the Tri State.

for the one-hour show airing on all four Murphy Broadcasting
stations are listed below.
