Gov. Janet Napolitano urged Arizonans Thursday to go about their business despite safety concerns "during this time of war." "Arizona's landmarks, vital facilities and its communities are in good hands, as they are guarded carefully by local, state and federal authorities," she said.

At the city's Pulliam Airport, travelers probably won't notice an elevated level of security because the facility has instituted strict security measures for months. "At this point in time, they have not raised the airport-alert scale. We've remained on a high state of alert ever since Sept. 11, and we're making adjustments in the way of airport security," said Michael Covalt, manager of Flagstaff Pulliam Airport. Covalt advised travelers to be alert, "keep track of their bags" and report unattended luggage immediately to airport authorities.

Police randomly inspected cars entering Sky Harbor International Airport and the military patrolled Arizona's nuclear plant, but Thursday remained a normal day for many Arizonans. The state's homeland security chief said that's the way it should be. "I would urge people to do nothing different," said Chuck Blanchard. "They should go to school, go to work, go shopping, go on vacation." Blanchard said the state hadn't done anything different with security since the war started Wednesday because its war plans had gone into effect before the bombings POLICEL0g BY GARY GHIOTO Sun Staff Reporter Restaurant burglarized A burglary was reported to police from Cafe Ole, 119 San Francisco Wednesday. An employee told police she noticed an antique cash register worth between $800 to $1,000 was damaged.

Godfrey Castro Haya, 30, was arrested by the Bureau of Indian Affairs Dec. 18, 2002, after allegedly beating and kicking another man. The complaint was received by the U.S.

Attorney's Office Tuesday, March 18. City and county residents who want to report a crime but wish to remain anonymous may call Silent Witness at 774-6111 or (877) 29-CRIME.

Edith 'Dee' Davis She was born in New York City on March 17, 1922, to Irish immigrant parents and lived most of her life in New York and on Long Island.

An active member of the Parent Teacher's Association in her children's schools, she participated in several fund-raising talent shows. She had a successful career as a Senior Salary Review Board administrator for Grumman Aerospace on Long Island, and retired in 1985 after 26 years of service. On her retirement, she left New York and with her husband, Si Davis, moved to Flagstaff in 1986. Dee gave 16 years of valued service to The Volunteers at Flagstaff Medical Center, where many knew and loved her lively presence in the hospital gift shop. She was a longtime member of and often ran the Thursday Ladies Bridge Club at Continental Country Club and also played with the "Bridge Bitches." In her 17 years in Flagstaff she became a beloved member of the community.

She is survived by her husband, Si; children Marc and Dan, both of Flagstaff, and Barbara Harlow of Peterborough, N.H.; sister Nathline Childs of Naperville, seven grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren. There will be a service of remembrance on Sunday, March 23, 2003, at 2 p.m. at the Clubhouse at Continental Country Arizona Daily Sun began in Iraq. Among the most visible measures were the two armed National Guard soldiers posted outside the entrance to Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station west of Phoenix. A military jet also circled overhead.

At NAU Thursday, President John D. Haeger said the 18-officer campus police force has "stepped up security" and is prepared in the event of an emergency. "Obviously this is both a difficult and disquieting time not only in the country as a whole, but obviously on the university's campus," said Haeger. NAU students, both home and abroad, have been contacted via letter and e-mail and advised that classes will resume next week as scheduled. But students and faculty have also been asked to "be alert" and report any suspicious activity when they return to campus.

The NAU president said the university is ready to implement an "Incident Management Plan" established five years ago that "deals with managing all types of crises including terrorist attacks." Haeger also said that the university has an "Emergency Procedures Guide" that provides instructions to NAU staff in the event of an emergency. Haeger said his announcement about increased security is not an indication that the university has been threatened or is considered a target. "This is a very safe campus. I think we've always been extraordinarily aware that it's very important to provide a safe learning environment for our students. To me that's always has been a distinguishing aspect of NAU," said Haeger.

NAU houses a well-known bioterrorism laboratory working on the FBI investigation into the lethal anthrax attacks during the fall of 2001. The campus also contains a variety of state and federal government facilities. Just how security has been stepped up on campus was not revealed by campus officials at a news conference Thursday. "We've identified vulnerabilities on campus and taken steps to mitigate those. Obviously to provide specifics as far as any kind of security steps would contradict the term 'security' so we'll just go with that," said NAU Police Department Commander Kathy Paleski.

NAU students and faculty are being asked to visit a new "emergency preparedness" Web site at www.nau.edu/web/emergency for more information. At Camp Navajo, base spokesman Capt. Eric Girard, said security has remained high and anyone entering the base is subject to search. "We never let down our guard so to speak. So nothing's changed you still have to go through security personnel.

You have to tell them who you want to see and they'll check you car out and search it before they let you on," said Girard, who is also the brigade training officer at the base. City spokeswoman Kim Peterson said employees have been enlisted to reinforce security at municipal buildings. "Folks in the community would not notice or see any additional security measures at local buildings. What we've done is request city employees to have an increased security awareness, especially at key facilities and buildings. "You won't see guards posted or specific areas locked down, but the level of awareness we've asked from our employees has increased," said Peterson.

Deputy Coconino County Attorney Tim Linnins asked the court to consider trying brothers Carlos Rodriguez and Vincente Alonzo together on charges of first -degree murder and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder. A clerical error had sent the two cases to separate judges and effectively severed the connection. Arguing that the same evidence statements and witnesses would be used in both cases, Linnins asked the judge to join the trials of the two brothers. Coconino County Public Defender Christine Funckes asked only that the two men receive a fair trial before Judge Newton re-joined the trials. Rodriguez, 22 and Alonzo, 25 were arrested Jan.

Humphreys, when a pushing fight broke out between Martinez and Alonzo over an altercation Martinez had been in earlier. Rodriguez arrived and struck Martinez with a weapon repeatedly, police have said.
