The Upper Basin and the Lower Basin states, as neighbors, don’t agree on the approach. Under a proposal released Wednesday by Arizona, California and Nevada, the water level at Lake Mead — one of the two largest of the Colorado River reservoirs — no longer would determine the extent of water cuts like it currently does. The three Lower Basin states also want what they say…

MIKID provides parent support group

LAKE HAVASU CITY – Believe it or not, there used to be a time when parents of children suffering with mental health had few to no resources at all. The early 1980s was when a loving parent of a child struggling with a mental illness decided to change some of this. That individual was Sue Gilbertson when her son was medically diagnosed for having mental illness.  Gilbertson sought answers with the medical community.  But her investigations fell flat, as the conventional medical community of the era did not have the necessary tools needed to provide assistance.   Soon Gilbertson would come to realize…
