"Probably that's why he scooted," said Sgt. Mike Torres, a police spokesman. Stewart and a passenger, Trevor Petit, 14, were treated for minor injuries at John C. Lincoln Hospital Health Center.

All three boys were friends at Shepherd Junior High in Mesa. Police gave this account of the accident: About 2:30 a.m., well after curfew, a Phoenix officer saw a car full of teens and attempted to stop it. When the 1994 Dodge Shadow sped away, the officer backed off, but the Dodge continued south on Seventh Street, down a slope. The car flipped when Daniel Stewart, who turns 16 in May, lost control. Under state law, someone The Arizona Republic A car that "rabbited" away from Phoenix police flipped over early Tuesday, crushing a 15-year-old boy who had been thrown from the back seat.

Authorities say the car was driven by a friend who is a month shy of his 16th birthday. Robert Justin of Mesa was killed when the car rolled on top of him in the 10900 block of North Seventh Street. The three friends had driven the Dodge, which belongs to a relative of one of the boys, to Phoenix to drop off a fourth friend at his girlfriend's house, police said. 1 Stewart and Petit were released to their parents. A report on the accident will be reviewed by the Maricopa County Attorney's Office to determine whether criminal charges will be filed against Stewart.

Soaring aluminum costs mean higher soda-pop prices workers lost their jobs. Then, late last year, the United States and other leading aluminum producers, including Russia, agreed to cut production by 1.5 million to 2 million metric tons a year in an attempt to boost prices. One major purchaser of aluminum cans defends the price hike. "There is a movement in this country to chastise the government for helping the aluminum industry to raise its prices," said George Kalil, president of Tucson's Kalil Bottling Co. "But if the government had not acted, the aluminum industry in this country could have been wiped out.

Aluminum is still one of the key packaging products because it is recyclable." The aluminum-can manufacturers are passing the higher costs on to the pop makers. Likewise, the soft-drink industry has pushed through price increases to consumers. Because the price increase took effect in January, the soda-pop industry is still assessing the impact, Hemphill said. what wholesale brokers are willing to absorb, she said. "If their costs are higher, the stores can't afford to pass on lower prices," Anderson said.

When buying that next can, people need to consider that they're paying higher prices, in part, because of the aluminum industry and the Cold War. Russia dumped tons of aluminum at the end of the Cold War, creating a glut in the world market and decreasing U.S. production by 20 percent, according to the U.S. aluminum industry. In the United States, 5,000 Toll in Bowie dust-storm pileup rises to 10; worst in state history The death toll in a string of accidents Sunday on Interstate 10 near Bowie has risen to 10, making it the worst wreck in Arizona history.

Twenty-three vehicles piled up within minutes on both sides of 1-10 as winds nearly 50 mph whipped up fine brown dust so thick that motorists couldn't sec the hoods of their own cars. Officials said Tuesday that Brent Dirickson, 6, and his sister, April, 13, both of Deming, N.M., died Monday at Tucson Medical Center. Three previous accidents killed eight each, one in December 1994 about 75 miles north of Flagstaff, another in 1970 near Casa Grande, and the third in 1964 near Red Rock. The children's parents, Bobby, 48, and Debbie, 32, and brothers, Chris, 17, and Michael, 8, were in fair condition Tuesday at Tucson Medical Center, hospital spokesman Tom Reavis said. One other person hurt in the crash also was in fair condition, he said.

House OKs bill to shield police, judges The Arizona House has approved plans for the addresses and phone numbers of all police officers and most judges to be excluded from voter-registration records. The proposal, approved 56-3 Monday night, now goes to Gov. Fife Symington for approval. Several police officers have complained that suspects were obtaining their home addresses and harassing them and their families, said state Rep. Wes Marsh, R-Scottsdalc, the bill's sponsor.

Marsh, a former criminal-intelligence analyst for the Arizona Department of Public Safety, said about half of the police officers in Arizona have not registered to vote because of their fear of reprisals. Officers or judges would petition county Superior Courts to have their addresses and phone numbers removed from voting records if they believed they might suffer harassment. Justices of the peace would not be covered by the shield legislation. Robber leaves phony bomb in bank holdup A man claiming to have a bomb robbed a Scottsdale bank Tuesday afternoon, then left two plastic bags in the lobby and made his getaway on a bicycle, police said. The man walked into Western Security Bank at 74th Street and Camclback Road around 4:20 and handed a teller a note, saying he had a bomb and demanding money, Scottsdale police Sgt.

John Cocca said. The state Department of Public Safety's bomb squad was called in to check out the plastic bags that were left behind, Cocca said. Both contained only wadded-up clothing. Detectives will be consulting with other agencies to see whether the robbery is linked to others in the Valley, Cocca said. On March 10, a robber armed with a shotgun left a phony bomb that looked like sticks of dynamite attached to wires, a timer and a detonator in a north Phoenix branch bank.

The robber in Tuesday's incident was described as a white male in his 20s, about 6 feet 1 inch and 190 pounds. He had a ruddy complexion and wore dark-colored sweats and a navy-blue baseball cap. ASU student arrested in motorcycle death A 21-year-old Arizona State University student was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter after he fled from an accident in which a fellow ASU student was killed. Sean Sapicnza fled after the motorcycle he was driving hit a median in the 1400 block of East Apache Boulevard shortly before 2 a.m. Monday, said Sgt.

Toby Dyas, a Tempe police spokesman. Tracey Rumick, 18, a student, was killed when she fell off the motorcycle.

"When the temperature goes up, the prices of soda pop will determine where a lot of people shop," said Becca Anderson, a spokeswoman for Bashas'.

They hugged each other tightly, Moses standing on tiptoe to wrap her arms around her daughter's shoulders. King, with tears welling in her eyes, opened the gift her mother brought: a colorful Indian blanket. "It's been a long time," King remarked, grinning at Moses. "They look like each other," Arterberry said. "Look at their cheekbones." "I think she's beautiful," Moses Ross remarked.

Everyone made small talk as they walked to the baggage-claim area, Arterberry stepped back and surveyed the scene: "I think this will be the beginning of something great."
