He details $96 million in damage, federal funding requests to ease costs for Globe, Miami, and Gila County, and new smart water meters and creek stabilization aimed at long-term resilience. 
• Aspyn Clark delivers with 3 hits, 3-hitter as No. 2 Show Low advances to softball quarterfinals (wmicentral.com) — Globe High’s softball team advanced from the 3A play-in round by beating Florence 9–5, but then fell 9–1 to River Valley in the first round of the state tournament. The bracket now moves on without Globe, with quarterfinals set for May 6 and the championship game scheduled for May 11 in Phoenix.
• Gila County Faces High Fire Risk Amid Federal Shake-up (silverbelt.com) — Gila County is heading into a high-risk wildfire season just as a major federal reorganization changes how the Tonto National Forest, including the Globe Ranger District, is managed and defended. Local officials and critics worry the new structure, distant research hubs, and separated firefighting chain could weaken on-the-ground knowledge that protects Globe-area communities and nearby tribal lands.
