U.S. 60 Closed Near Springerville Due to the Wallow Fire
From AzEIN:
Nearly 20 miles of U.S. 60 has been closed from Springerville to the New Mexico state line due to the Wallow Fire in eastern Arizona. This closure stretches from milepost 384 to 401.
In all, more than 200 miles of state highways are closed due several major wildfires burning in Arizona.
The Arizona Department of Transportation reminds motorists traveling that the following closures on state highways remain in effect:
-- State Route 260 is closed in both directions east of the Hawley Lake turnoff (State Route 473 junction) and Eagar. SR 260 is closed between mileposts 372-398 near Eagar.
-- State Route 373, a 4.5 mile-long highway that connects the town of Greer in eastern Arizona with SR 260 west of Eagar, is closed.
-- U.S. 191 is closed between Alpine and north of Clifton (mileposts 176-253).
-- State Routes 261 and 273, the main access roads to Big Lake and Crescent Lake in the White Mountains, are closed. SR 261 is closed starting approximately seven miles south of SR 260 to Crescent Lake (mileposts 395-413) and SR 273 is closed between the SR 260 junction and to the SR 261 junction (mileposts 378-394).
-- U.S. 180 is closed between the SR 260 junction near Eagar and the New Mexico state line (mileposts 403-433).

-- SR 366 is closed at milepost 118 leading up to Mount Graham (milepost 336) near Safford after the U.S. Forest Service determined the risk of wildfire is too extreme to allow access.
Additional information on the Wallow Fire, Horseshoe Two Fire and Murphy Fire and evacuation orders can be obtained through the the Arizona Division of Emergency Management at www.azein.gov. Information on road closures is available from ADOT by calling 5-1-1 or visiting www.az511.gov.

Avoid Fire Areas, Help Through Organized Agencies
The Arizona Division of Emergency Management is asking the public to avoid areas where fires are actively burning to keep the area clear for firefighting operations.
Many of the people who show up at fire scenes offer to help or bring unrequested donations. While the generosity is very much appreciated, this can create an added burden and may even endanger those who are fighting the fire.
The Arizona Emergency Information Network says people can help by donating cash, services or products to non-governmental agencies that are providing assistance through an organized network. Go to www.AzEIN.gov.
Arizona HS Graduation Rates Rise But Still
Trail Nation
The latest annual report from Education Week says that Arizona high school graduation rates rose sharply over a ten year period but Arizona is still below the national average.
The report says Arizona graduated 67% of its students in 2008. That’s a 7.6 percent increase since 1998. Cronkite News Service reports that this was the 11th biggest increase in the country during that period but Arizona still ranks 38th among the states.
During that time the national graduation rate rose from 65.6% to 71.8%, the highest level since the 1980s.
Arizona education officials admit there is room for improvement but say they choose to focus on gains in student achievement and a reduction in dropouts.

Initiatives Would Require Voter Approval for New Prisons
A Globe citizens group has launched two initiatives for the March 2012 ballot. The first initiative requires voter approval for any new prison constructed within Globe’s City Limits. The other initiative requires voter approval for any municipal resource to be spent or used for any new prison construction project.
The Citizens of Globe group says they have launched the two ballot initiatives because local elected officials have refused to pass a Resolution that would prohibit a 1,000 to 2,000 bed proposed private prison from being constructed in the Globe community.
More than 2,500 area residents have signed a Declaration of Opposition to such a prison.
The group must gather 582 signatures to place the initiatives on the ballot for the next regular election.
