Phoenix town fades as last inhabitant is buried
In Phoenix British Columbia snow covers the grave of its final resident William Henry Bambury, the last survivor of a once thriving mining town. Once Canada’s highest incorporated city with five churches and 3,500 people, Phoenix boomed in 1899, bust in 1919, then emptied as copper ore depleted. Only Bambury and a Belgian caretaker remained. the town’s hillsides hold memory of a bustling era and a single house that survives.

Psychiatric exams eyed for heavy Colorado drivers
Colorado motorists with four or more accidents may face psychiatric tests as part of a driver safety program in Denver. William Foulis, head of the Highway Safety Council, says exams aim to reveal personality factors affecting driving but are not a judgment of mental balance. The plan could lead to changes in licensing standards to curb poor driver attitude.
