| Drops in middle school AIMS scores concern administrators |
Local elementary schools may have fared poorly on the math portion of the Arizona Instrument Measuring Standards (AIMS) test this past year, but they were by no means the only schools whose scores suffered. Today, the Miner looks at how local middle schools did, and the results are, unfortunately, much the same.
Statewide, the percentage of children who either met or exceeded the state math standards for sixth, seventh and eighth grade fell to 56, 57, and 56 percent, respectively - each marking a decline of 7 percent or more from 2009.

| Elementary schools take a beating in AIMS math |
Statewide results for the 2009-2010 Arizona Instrument to Measure Standards (AIMS) test have been released, and the results are certainly less than ideal, with math scores in particular taking a major beating across all grade levels.

The case known as Operation Picture Perfect is all but over. With the exception of two men who fled during their trial earlier this spring, all of the defendants have been sentenced to varying terms of prison or probation. The last sentencing came Friday, when 37-year-old Xavier Milea, who had been found guilty by a jury of conspiracy to sell dangerous drugs, was sentenced by Judge Steven Conn to six years in prison.

| Attorney quits murder suspect's case |
The capital murder case against Darrell Ketchner suffered a setback this week after the 52-year-old defendant's lawyer pulled out of the case. Flagstaff attorney Stephen Glazer told the court Friday that he can no longer represent Ketchner because of a conflict of interest. Glazer said he could not disclose what the conflict is, because doing so would violate attorney-client privilege.

It's hardly a secret that the Hackberry School District has seen better days.

| A find of a lifetime |
History in Kingman has a funny way of repeating itself, especially when it comes to rocks and love. A few years ago, Kingman resident Raymond Guassac met a nurse named Julie while undergoing treatment at the Kingman Dialysis Center. The two found they had a lot in common, especially a love of hiking, and started dating.
