STATE EDITION BEST AVAILABLE COPY PAGE TWELVE SECTION A TUCSON, SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 1980 THE ARIZONA DAILY STAR Somersaulted to ground Senators form plan to keep Litchfield site Plane crash at Ryan Field kills pilot Cregier, 1 other By KEITH ROSENBLUM The Arizona Daily Star erably one worked out with the cooperation of Litchfield residents. Still pending before the courts are at least 20 other legal points raised by the Litchfield residents, any of which conceivably could stop construction even if the current impasse is resolved. i I anything else happens to stop the prison," Gutier-' rez said yesterday, "we'll just have to take it up in the Legislature and make it legal." The principal points that state officials believe could hang up the prison again involve the relative values as-; signed to the state land traded to Caterpillar Tractor Co. 1 for the Litchfield prison site, and the fact that there may be some mineral deposits on the land traded to Caterpillar, which may make the trade invalid. i- Kelley has suggested that a school near the prison could be moved and that excess land around the prison could be used as a buffer zone to mollify residents of the Litchfield area.

It appeared clear yesterday, though, that no final solution will be reached by Thursday. That day will mark 30 days since contraction stopped and is the date on which the contractor, TGKMcCarthy Bros. can demand renegotiation of the contract. (Continued from Page One) to restore the site to its original condition and that the million contract would have to be renegotiated probably to the $41.9 million level. The estimates do not include the cost of private land, should it be required.

Most scenarios foresee building on other state land elsewhere. Kolbe and Gutierrez indicated the cost to the state would be too high and that the Litchfield prison needs to be saved. The legislation is expected to be in the form of an amendment to some other bill a tactic that will avoid the committee process and the various snags that could velop in committees. Also unclear was whether the bill will actually designate the Litchfield Park prison site or put the burden on Babbitt's shoulders again. Kolbe prefers to leave the decision to Babbitt.

Gutierrez said the Legislature should simply designate Litchfield. The legislators Indicated the maneuver next week is designed to get the ball rolling and that the real work on the measure will be done in the House. House Speaker Frank Kelley is unhappy with the situation and would prefer a comprehensive solution, pref Tree falls, killing nine I in Indian wedding party Department drove equipment across bumpy desert and reached the crash site at 5:25 p.m. They extinguished some flames around the craft' with water, but had to allow magnesium, which is used in the construction of aircraft, to bum itself out. Investigators said the pair left Tucson International Airport at 4 p.m.

shortly after maintenance work was completed on the aircraft, an eight-passenger Cessna 421-B. The crash occurred about two miles south of West Ajo Way and half a mile west of Ryan Field on what was once the Old Valencia Bar Ranch, a cattle ranch. Now used to raise horses, it is managed by Bob and Sherry Tucker of 9441 W. Valencia Road. Bob Tucker said he and his wife were horseback riding when they saw smoke coming from the desert.

They rode to the crash site, he said, "But there was nothing to do. Everything was plumb burned out." Ronald Gagnon, 15, said he had been watching the plane do "touch and goes" at the airport when he noticed the plane was no longer making any noise. "The engines must have gone out, because I couldn't hear anything then, Gagnon said. "The plane started flipping, and when it hit the ground, it made a big explosion. I'd say flames were 100 feet high." Gagnon called Rural Metro, which responded from its Tucson Estates station some 10 minutes away.

A widely known Tucson pilot and his passenger died yesterday when their twin-engine Cessna aircraft, apparently powerless, fell end over end into the desert and exploded about 24 miles southwest of Ryan Field. DeWitt Clinton "Skip" Cregier, 32, was-the pilot. He had been an airplane pilot since he was 16 and a helicopter pilot for the past six years. The passenger was identified as Armando Nava, 19, of 5640 S. Rex Stravenue.

He was an apprentice mechanic with Alex Associates Aircraft Service, sheriff's deputies said. In February, Cregier flew the World War II-vintage B-29 bomber to Duxford, England, that was being donated to the Imperial War Museum by the U.S. government. At 21, he was the youngest Federal Aviation Administration pilot examiner in the state. At the time of his death, he was part-owner of the Monaco Apartments on Wilmot Road.

A witness to the 5 p.m. accident said the plane lost power and somersaulted three times as it dropped straight to the ground. The plane had been practicing landings at the airport before the crash, witnesses said: Investigators from the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are expected to arrive here this morning to investigate the crash.

Settle Fry sewer spat, HUD orders By HOWARD FISCHER The Arizona Daily Star SIERRA VISTA Federal officials have told Sierra Vista and Cochise County officials to agree on how to handle a sewage problem in Fry Townsite or face the loss of a $700,000 sewer grant.

Harriet McGinley, a community planning and development representative for the Department of Housing and Urban Development, said HUD doesn't particularly care how the agreement is reached, but until signed copies are on her desk, the agency will not release any funds. At issue is a HUD grant to Cochise County and the city of Sierra Vista to build sewer lines in the mainly residential Fry Townsite area. The one-square-mile section is surrounded by the city but is unincorporated. City and county officials sought the funds because repeated failures of individual septic systems pose potential health hazards to the entire area. The sewer lines eventually would empty into a city-owned treatment plant.

But even before HUD officially awarded the grant, the City Council directed its staff to draw up a policy requiring that residences be annexed to the city before they hook up. All three members of the county Board of Supervisors opposed such a move. Agencies receiving federal aid can establish conditions for its use, so requiring residences to be annexed would not violate the terms of the grant, McGinley said, adding it is purely a "home rule" question. She noted, however, that representatives of both grantees must sign a cooperative agreement before funds will be made available. McGinley stressed that her agency cannot impose an agreement on the parties, forcing one or both to amend their conditions.

Mayor Jon Brown has said that since the sewage will be treated by the city, it is only fair to require the recipients of the service to be annexed and pay, city property taxes. Otherwise, be said, residents of unincorporated areas have no incentive to join the city. But supervisors' Chairman V.L. "Tommy" Thompson called the city action "bribery." And Supervisor Judy Gignac, who represents the area, said she would have to reconsider whether to accept the federal funds if annexation remains a precondition.
