about the girls return after the break, "First of all I want to say, the work the girls put in over break really paid off. They are now team-oriented, they play for each other, and I see a huge improvement for the love of the game. Also, no BS, the lead- ership from our three seniors is amazing!" On a similar note, Coach Clough said, "We have started to play like we should play. I'm proud of the way the boys are playing when the games matter." The end of winter break also reminds us that slowly but surely, the end of the school year is creeping up on Salome High School seniors. Several of them have already been accepted by dif- ferent colleges. Moriah Freedman, our student body president, is going to Northern Arizona University, otherwise known as NAU. She plans to go into pediatric dentistry. Rene Soqui and Ezekiel Palma have also been accepted to NAU. Both of them want to study nursing. Azalea Huerta has been accepted by Yavapai College. She will be studying pharmaceuti- cal science. Congratulations to these seniors who have already received their acceptance letters and to all of Salome High School's graduating class of 2018.

Bouse Genealogical Society YUMA, Ariz. – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM)'s Yuma Field Office invites the public to par- ticipate in the development of the Lower Colorado River (LCR) Travel Management Plan and Environmen- tal Assessment (TMP/EA). Travel management is an approach to establishing networks of roads for trav- el and transportation, including areas for both motorized and non-motorized uses. Travel management planning is necessary for designating and provid- ing appropriate access to and across public lands for a variety of uses. The LCR TMP/EA includes the areas of Laguna Mountains, Trigo Moun- tains and Big Maria Mountains, and encompasses the communities of Eh- renberg, Cibola, Blythe, Palo Verde, Yuma and Imperial within Imperial County, California and La Paz and Yuma counties in Arizona. The public may participate by attend- ing an open-house style meeting or by reviewing the information online and submitting comments to the BLM. During the two open house-style meetings, maps of the current and potential travel network will be avail- able for review and BLM staff will be available to answer questions and receive comments. Public invited to participate in development of Lower Colorado River Travel Management Plan Salome High updates The new semester has started and before it did we had a great break! During the winter break, we had some students travel and do some exciting things. One of your stu- dents, Moriah, said, "I road tripped with my family to Colorado where we went skiing, snowboarding, and spent Christmas with family." Another student, Robert Lard, told us his story. "We took a trip to New Mexico to visit my great- grandma and family members, and also to get my new truck." Finally, Rhaegan went on a great adventure to Mexico to reunite with her father she hadn't seen in many years. In other news, with that return from break, both basketball teams had a packed schedule.
