Williams News, Linda Duffey, Editor
WILLIAMS, Ariz. – While most of us are enjoying the first few days of 2012, Williams-Grand Canyon Chamber of Commerce CEO/President Gioia Goodrum continues to work diligently to plan Williams’ portion of Arizona’s Centennial celebration scheduled for Feb. 14. Visitors and residents can expect a full day celebrating the Centennial with $7.50 rides on Grand Canyon Railway’s (GCR) coach class, a Sweetheart Dinner at Sultana and, at the end of the day, fireworks.

(Admin note:  Unfortunately The Bearizona Wildlife Park will not reopen until March 1st)

The Arizona Centennial Train will depart the Williams Depot at 9:30 a.m. on Feb. 14 to the Grand Canyon pulled by vintage steam locomotive 4960. In honor of this historic occasion, GCR is offering round-trip coach class tickets for $7.50 per person – the same cost as in 1912. Coach seating will be in the fully refurbished historic Harriman-style coaches. Also, the Winslow Harvey Girls and the Bill Williams Mountain Men will be onboard to provide narrative information and stories from Arizona’s history………….

The strength of an ecosystem is dependent upon the diversity of species within it, and the strength of a movement is dependent upon the diversity of approaches within it. And so, if the environmental and conservation movement is going to be strong, it is going to be strong because of that diversity. Sea Shepherd is a necessary tool in this movement. We provide diversity in our conservation approach — and we make this movement strong and successful.

2012 is our 35th year of operations. When I founded the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society in 1977, I had hoped we’d never make it to this anniversary. You see, we are in the business of putting ourselves out of business. Unfortunately, as long as cowardice, greed, and pride prevail and poachers think their actions will have no effect on the future of this Planet Ocean, our cause is a vital one. Please support Sea Shepherd and help us get results through direct intervention.

For the oceans,

Captain Paul Watson
Founder and President

Palin made a passionate plea for Republican voters to reject Mitt Romney in Florida to keep the primary process going forward.

The former Alaska governor made it crystal clear that she favors former House Speaker Gingrich, suggesting that the Republican establishment in New York and Washington is trying to anoint former Massachusetts Gov. Romney the GOP nominee.

“And I say, you know, you’ve got to rage against the machine at this point in order to defend our republic and save what is good and secure and prosperous about our nation,” Palin said.

“We need somebody who is engaged in sudden and relentless reform and is not afraid to shake up the establishment.

“So, if for no other reason, rage against the machine, vote for Newt,

Last year, an industrial fishing vessel was caught inside the Galapagos Marine Reserve with 350+ dead sharks. The case made international headlines, not only for the illegal capture of a protected species in a marine reserve, but also for the poor response it received from the local judiciary, which ultimately annulled all its proceedings.

In a rare move by the Galapagos judicial system, the judge who was responsible for the outcome of this case has been suspended and interdisciplinary investigations into the case will take place for the next three months.
