Nikola forgoes Buckeye plans in favor of Coolidge By Connor Dziawura

Nikola Motor Co., the hydrogen-electric semi-truck manufacturer formerly based in Utah, is dropping its plans to build a manufacturing center in Buckeye. Instead, the company is moving southeast, to Coolidge. “Coolidge had a shovel-ready 430-acre piece of property with the infrastructure already in place that will shave years off our construction time,” said Nikola CEO Trevor Milton in a statement. “We have customers like Anheuser-Busch and US Express who are ready for their trucks, and with this move, we’ll be able to deliver much faster.” In May, Anheuser-Busch announced it placed an order for “up to” 800 trucks from Nikola. David Roderique, the city of Buckeye’s economic development director, told the West Valley View by email that Coolidge offered “an accelerated timeframe.” “We tried to ﬁnd an alternative here that had infrastructure ready to go but unfortunately were not able to ﬁnd anything else,” Roderique said. Nikola’s plans in Buckeye were announced by Gov. Doug Ducey during a Jan. 30 press conference at the Arizona Science Center.

Microsoft acquires 259 acres in Goodyear By Connor Dziawura

Microsoft has made a major investment in the city of Goodyear, though the company’s speciﬁc plans have yet to be announced. Microsoft recently acquired nearly 259 acres for just over $48 million, according to Rick West, managing partner for Care-

free Partners Investments, who formerly owned the land. The sale closed Aug. 28, he told the West Valley View. “Our plan was to have it ultimately be something of a corporate campus or a multi-tenant business park,” West said. “It’s heading the direction the way of which we envisioned.”

Andersen to build manufacturing facility in Goodyear By West Valley View staff

A subsidiary of Anderson Corp., which makes windows and doors, plans to build a manufacturing facility in Goodyear to increase operational capacity for its fast-growing product lines. Andersen Regional Manufacturing Inc. hopes to also expand its presence in Arizona and the western United States. “We are honored to have an award-winning company such as Andersen in our community,” said Mayor Georgia Lord. “Andersen is known for its quality, energy-efficient and environmentally friendly products, as well as their commitment to exemplary ethics in dealing with customers and communities. We are excited to have Andersen become part of the major corporate presence in Goodyear.” Andersen plans to build an approximately 500,000 square-foot building at Cotton Lane and Commerce Drive

with a capital investment of at least $105 million. Construction is anticipated to begin in early 2019 and conclude in 2020, employing 415 full-time positions with an average salary of $41,133 annually. Plans may also include the option to expand operations with an additional building and similar employee base. “Andersen has been leading the window and door industry for more than 115 years by creating different and better products and services and building brands people value and trust,” said Jay Lund, Andersen Corp. chairman and CEO. “We are grateful to Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, the city of Goodyear, Maricopa County and Greater Phoenix Economic Council for their support of our expansion in Arizona, and we look forward to working closely with these partners and tapping into a robust local workforce to build a world-class manufacturing operation in the region.”

Nikola...continued from page 1 community Trillium at Douglas Ranch. The facility was planned to house Nikola’s headquarters, research and development and manufacturing capabilities. At the time, it was expected to bring a $1 billion capital investment and nearly 2,100 jobs to Buckeye by 2024, as well as an estimated $840,000 in direct and indirect revenues annually. During construction, it was estimated to create 4,000 jobs and a $421 million impact. Phased construction was expected to begin in late 2019. Though the full process would have taken until 2024, a limited run of production was expected in 2020 with the whole factory moving trucks in 2021, Milton told media at the event. The site selection process, which took over a year, took into consideration 30 sites in nine states, with Arizona ultimately chosen due to its pro-business environment, education and workforce community, and yearround manufacturing-ready weather, he said. Nikola was also expected to promote development at Trillium at Douglas Ranch. The 37,000-acre Douglas Ranch allows for 120,000 homes, 300,000 people and 59 million square feet of commercial space, said JDM co-founder and partner Jerry Colangelo at the January event. He labeled it a “smart city.” Nikola is still planning its headquarters and research and development center for a site at 4141 E. Broadway Road in Phoenix, where 300 people will be employed, Milton said in his new statement. The Coolidge Examiner reported operations are based in a temporary facility in Chandler. “Arizona is a great place to do business,” Milton said. “The governor’s office and the city of Coolidge both were incredible to work with and helped us find a solution to getting up and running quicker. Ultimately, we have over 2,000 employees to hire, and we had nowhere to put them. We needed a quicker path to manufacturing, and Coolidge provided that for us with a property that was ready to go.” Milton specified that incentives were not a factor in the company’s decision. “We could not speak more highly of the city’s employees and all the hard work they gave the project,” he continued. “Buckeye literally went to the ends of the earth to help us out, but in

the end, we just couldn’t get a building up fast enough with the land options we were presented.” Previously announced incentives for the Buckeye facility were that it would be designated as a Foreign Trade Zone, El Dorado Holdings and JDM would provide the land and infrastructure and APS would construct a new substation to serve the facility, all at no cost to the city. Additionally, the city would rebate 49 percent of the sales taxes for the facility’s construction and operation, and reimburse permits and fees, though Nikola would have to meet stipulations for timelines, numbers of jobs, investments and others. As of print time, Coolidge officials had not responded to the West Valley View’s request for comment on the details of Nikola’s new plans. Nikola did not provide additional details to the West Valley View. Roderique told the West Valley View the city is working with “several other major employers” with announcements coming soon. In the city’s press release, it was said that its economic goals are still to “attract major manufacturing facilities and create a major logistics, transportation and distribution hub for the West Valley.” At a July 24 Rotary Club of Verrado meeting, Buckeye Mayor Jackie Meck also expressed his desire to find a way to work with the nearby Belmont, a proposed master-planned community with ties to Bill Gates. One of Gates’ firms bought the property near Tonopah for $80 million last November, according to various reports. “Nikola is an excellent company to work with, and we wish them much success in Coolidge,” Roderique said in a recent statement. “Thankfully, the company is remaining in Arizona and will still have positive impacts on the regional economy.”

Organizers of Candeo Schools are continuing its information sessions about possibly expanding to Goodyear. The next session is 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 27, at Comfort Suites, 15575 W. Roosevelt St., Goodyear. Anyone interested in learning more or asking questions is encouraged to attend. Stephanie Musser, executive director of Candeo Schools, explained the session’s goal is to gauge interest in the school. Candeo Schools operates a charter school in Peoria but is looking to expand to a second location in the West Valley. Organizers of Candeo Schools have looked at a building at 16060 W. Lower Buckeye Parkway as a possible option. It is the former home of Bradley/Discovery Creemos Academy, which closed abruptly in January. A letter from Discovery Creemos to parents explained financial issues as the reason for the school’s closure, and the Arizona State Board of Education indicated the facility was falling below academic standards. Musser hopes the community won’t let any adverse feelings toward the former academy hinder possible growth. “It wasn’t the location that caused the school to close,” she said. She added the Candeo Schools model is not replicating any of the charter schools that are already in the Goodyear area. “We are in the top 1 percent of schools and consistently rank high academically,” Musser explained. She described Candeo as a “classical” innovative school. It offers Singapore math and a rigorous academic program with high expectations. However, doing well academically is not the only focus, she added. “We offer a joyful learning environment,” Musser said. Candeo Schools started in 2008 and has 600 students at its Peoria campus. The hope is to come away from the info session with an understanding of what the Goodyear community wants for its students. She added that Goodyear is a growing area, and there is an increasing number of students on the waitlists of other area charter schools. “We want to offer another option,” she said. For more information about Candeo Schools, visit candeoschools.com.

Goodyear opening new pickleball courts By West Valley View staff

After months of design and construction work, four new pickleball courts will be unveiled at Goodyear Community Park at 8 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 22. The event will kick off with a tour of the court and remarks by city officials. Later, there will be on-court demonstrations by local pickleball players as well as mini-clinics covering the basics — from selecting the right paddle to understanding the

rules of play. The celebration concludes with the courts open for general public play. The project, which was funded and approved in response to residents’ request, converted basketball courts to accommodate pickleball and maintain two high school-sized basketball courts. Goodyear Community Park is located at 3075 N. Litchfield Road. For more information, visit goodyearaz. gov/parks or call 623-882-7525.

Police recommend murder charges against teen’s ex By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

Phoenix police are recommending first-degree murder charges against Jon Christopher Clark in the death of Kiera Bergman, a teen who was missing until her body was found near Buckeye. Bergman, 19, went missing from her home near 51st Avenue and Thunderbird Road in Phoenix Aug. 4 and her body was found at 3 p.m. Sept. 3. She recently moved from California to Arizona. Clark, 23, is in custody on multiple unrelated felony charges of aggravated identity theft and forgery. Phoenix police recommend one count each of first-degree murder, improper removal of a body and evidence tampering.

When reached for comment, the company issued the following statement: “Microsoft currently operates in Arizona and is continuously exploring new locations to support the growing demand for our products and services. We have no additional information to share.” The city of Goodyear declined to comment, referring requests to Microsoft. Gov. Doug Ducey’s office referred requests for comment to the Arizona Commerce Authority, which also referred requests back to Microsoft. As

West’s company had been involved with the plat for 15 years, he said. “I look at it as a wonderful opportunity for Arizona and wonderful opportunity for Metropolitan Phoenix and the West Valley as a major technology company making a significant statement there, and for the city of Goodyear it just continues to show why being in Goodyear is a good opportunity,” West said. Though plans for the land have not been made public by the involved parties, West suspects the plans are more set than speculative. “I would suspect that they will be starting on their project within the next couple of years,” West said. “So, I don’t think they bought this as a speculative piece.

JUDGE’S OPINION — King Features

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Plethora of funerals Editor:

Recently, we had four deaths in one week: Sen. John McCain, Aretha Franklin, Neil Simon, and I lost a family member. I tried to keep busy, but the sadness was just pushing down on me. I turned on the television and somehow in my playlist was Blades of Glory. I didn’t see it the first time around and I was looking for something that didn’t have a funeral in it. For two hours, I laughed until my sides ached. It was crude and vulgar without any redeeming qualities. I would like to thank anyone who had anything to do with making it. May I say it’s even better watching it again the next night. Years ago, at an award show, actress Shirley Knight said while accepting her award that we really need our clowns. I get it. Vickie Chelini Buckeye

Kneeling? No thanks

Editor: With another NFL season upon us, can we really look forward to watching exciting games and really good times with our family, friends and fellow fans? I suppose we can, but the big elephant remains in the room with us, which is this insane and asinine practice of NFL players kneeling during our national anthem. And, if I read correctly, it appears ESPN and CBS are not even televising the national anthem because they don’t want to stir up any further controversy. Please stop. The apologists for the kneelers and the kneelers themselves will defend their idiotic protest by stating the First Amendment protects their free speech. OK, it does. What of it? It’s still not right to kneel or disrespect our flag and the national anthem. It’s wrong. There are right things to do as an American, and there are wrong things to do as an American. It’s as simple as that. One has to wonder how far hatred of country goes in a person for behaving so cowardly in protesting our flag and national anthem, especially in public. Another thought that comes to mind is that NFL players care more about the publicity their alleged social awareness campaigns bring than the financial harm it brings to their league.

Their anti-Americanism has actually trickled down to our much-younger children playing the game they love. How irresponsible. Let’s not forget these phony activists are actually at work. They’re on the job, for crying out loud, acting like spoiled, selfish, hypocritical idiots thinking they’re making a difference. Yes, you are making wide awake Americans think differently about purchasing league merchandise or attending/watching games. I’m not particularly a boycott person, but these people make me sick. From the start, the whole basis of why NFL players had to stand in solidarity and kneel during the national anthem was fraudulent on its face. Police brutality? Are you serious? Most police officers are like you and me, good people. And why did NFL players feel like they had to take this issue on when folks were just about to unwind and watch a game? What had these NFL players done as individuals all week up until kickoff to make lasting changes in their communities? Maybe they should spend a few weekends in Chicago and get to the real brutality that is going on in the streets and in the homes of people. I won’t even mention the quarterback by name who first embarrassed himself by kneeling because, I mean, where is he now? Perhaps he is on a corner somewhere trying to sell the anti-police socks he used to wear when he was, um, on television for all of us to see. Karma has a way of leveling out the playing field we all call life. In life, there are right things to do and there are wrong things to do. And under no circumstance is it right for an NFL player or fellow American to kneel and disrespect our flag during our national anthem. Tony Zizza Avondale

The importance of voting Editor:

Our right to vote in elections is our sacred American heritage. The League of Women Voters of Metropolitan Phoenix thanks all the newspaper, radio and TV channels, and other news media that are helping voters by providing needed information. Voters need facts about candidates and issues

in order to vote intelligently. With advances in technology, the amount of information available to potential voters keeps increasing, but not necessarily the quality. That is a major reason why the League is as important today as it was years ago: we provide objective, carefully reviewed information while remaining nonpartisan. This year the League has added information to its website, including links which can help voters find information they need for federal, state, county, city, school, college, boards, commissions and judicial elections. It is important to be informed and to vote the entire ballot! Skipping any government office leaves the choices that will affect OUR daily lives to others. How well our government works is our responsibility. All voters, please – not only is it important to vote, but to FINISH YOUR BALLOT! Visit lwvmetrophoenix.org/elections.

Kerr chose special interest group over Arizona and LD13 voters

Editor: Sine Kerr claims to support the citizens of LD13, our rights and the Constitution. But, these are empty words. Her record shows that she is wrong for LD13. In January, at the behest of the Ar-

izona Chamber of Commerce and Industry (not voters), she co-sponsored bill SCR1016. The bill called for a ballot measure to undercut Proposition 206, the Fair Wages and Healthy Families Act, passed in 2016 by a 59-percent margin of Arizona voters. The new, legislature-driven measure would have frozen the minimum wage and eliminated the mandatory three sick days for all full-time workers. Voter-passed citizen’s initiatives, such as 206, are protected by the Arizona Constitution to prevent the state legislature from overturning them. But when a special interest group requests it, legislators like Kerr try to do end runs around them. Kerr supports special interests over the citizens of LD13 and Arizona. Go to apps.azleg.gov/BillStatus/ BillOverview/70510?SessionId=119 to see her record. Then ask yourself if her actions make her worthy to become LD13’s duly-elected Senator. Lawrence Peters Buckeye

Free speech getting a battering these days By David Leibowitz

Used to be, there were tons of things you didn’t discuss in polite company, like religion and politics. You never asked people how much money they earned, and you never asked a woman how much she weighed. Now? Folks talk, tweet and twaddle on about every last thing: bad dates and stale sex lives, divorce dirt, MAGA this, treason that, sexism, racism and every other -ism. Given all the chatter, you’d think we’d be used to disagreeing with each other. Yet there’s never been a worse time in American history to express objectionable things aloud, as alleged comedian Norm MacDonald found out this week when he mouthed off about the #MeToo movement and expressed sympathy for his pals, current pariahs Roseanne Barr and Louis C.K. MacDonald on #MeToo: “I’m happy the … movement has slowed down a little bit. It used to be, ‘One hundred women can’t be lying.’ And then it became, ‘One woman can’t lie.’ And that became, ‘I believe all women.’ And then you’re like, ‘What?’” MacDonald on Barr, who lost her TV sitcom reboot over racist tweets, and C.K., whose career went DOA after accusations of sexual harassment: “There are very few people that have gone through what they have, losing everything in a day. Of course, people will go, ‘What about the victims?’ But you know what? The victims didn’t have to

go through that.” While I think MacDonald has a point about #MeToo, I’d rank his callousness dismissing victims of racism and sexual assault as perhaps a seven on a scale of one to a Klan meeting. MacDonald didn’t appear malicious in his interview with the Hollywood Reporter. More like an ignorant doofus babbling off the top of his head.

questions maybe you can help answer: How much honesty can we actually tolerate these days? And at what point does your First Amendment right to free speech bump up against society’s new favorite sport: punishing people who say or write stupid things? This is a subject close to my heart for a couple reasons: I say a lot of stupid stuff. And some of it appears in print in this newspaper and online. As a professional expresser of dumb things, I ﬁnd myself fretting more late(Photo courtesy Advisor ly than at any time in the last 20 years about whom might get offended and how they might react. For example, I wrote last month

that I disagree with people who think the cops are “getting away with murder.” That occasioned quite a few nasty email responses, including one reader who wished that a black police ofﬁcer would someday soon “whip my (expletive) for my ignorance.” When I was a kid, my mother used to caution me, “It’s one thing to be an idiot. But it’s another thing to open your mouth and prove it to everybody.” That was back in the ‘70s, when I was 10 and mouthing off usually got you a timeout or a detention. Now, stupidity goes viral in an instant, ending careers and potentially bringing down the self-righteous wrath of the masses. Those doing the punishing seem to believe they are rooting out evil, purging society of offenders who think wrong, speak wrong, write wrong. Me, I disagree with that approach. So long as you’re simply saying stupid things, I don’t much mind. Heck, I prefer it. I like to know who the idiots are.

Business Briefcase

By Connor Dziawura

Hello, readers! Welcome back to Business Briefcase. This week is quite the week. I have a few developments to mention in Buckeye, as well as a couple more in Goodyear and Litchfield Park. But that’s just scratching the surface. I’ve been in touch with Buckeye’s Economic Development Department and various readers spanning the Southwest Valley and should have more about future developments soon. But let’s keep with the present for now. Here’s the news! First, let’s start in Buckeye. A QuikTrip is coming a bit north of the northwest corner of Watson and Yuma roads. The company is hoping to begin construction in November with a completion in late April or early May, according to QuikTrip Corp. spokesman Mike Thornbrugh. It will be around 4,800 square feet and have 10 pumps that can accommodate 20 cars fueling at the same time. Buckeye’s Economic Development director, David Roderique, said it will take a vacant parcel between the AutoZone and Wendy’s. Moving along, Screws and Sparkles is coming to Historic Downtown Buckeye. The new business will have a soft opening at 425 E. Monroe Avenue, near Farmers Insurance, on Thursday, October 4. Owner Sophia Martinez described it as a small, less-than-600square-foot shop that will feature vintage and handmade items which range from signs to string art, cups and T-shirts. The shop is at capacity for vendors and has a waiting list. “I myself paint refurbished furniture, and most of the vendors in the shop, about I would say 90 percent, are from

Buckeye,” said Martinez, who moved from Northern California to Buckeye last year. “So, these are all local creatives who do a range of items.” A grand-opening celebration will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, November 1. It will feature a ribbon-cutting with city officials, a DJ, prizes, refreshments and more. Café 25:35 will sponsor the event, and Rustique Rentals will sponsor a photo area. It’s overall “a fun atmosphere for the community to come together and to share in our celebration,” Martinez said. For more information on Screws and

Sparkles, find it on Facebook and Instagram. Continuing in Buckeye, the new Snap Fitness location is on track with its construction. When I last reported on the gym in June, franchise owner Lorenzo Suozzi had said the goal was for a December completion. The approximately 6,000-square-foot location will be at 827 E. Monroe Avenue, between South Eighth and Ninth streets. It’s awaiting city approval on the blackflow design for its fire sprinklers, and HVAC and plumbing are being installed, Suozzi said. The current 4,000-square-foot site is at 410 E. U.S. Highway 85, a bit east of the future location, and between Eason and Narramore avenues. For more information on the brand, visit snapfitness.com. Snap Fitness’ relocation was aided by the city’s Catalyst Program, which provides a maximum of $25,000. According to Roderique, several other projects seeking Catalyst Program funding will go to council in October. A few weeks ago, I mentioned LeMonds – Aveda Salon and Spa, which replaced The Red Door Salon and Spa at The Wigwam back in July. Well, I placed another call to the spa and its grand opening event is now confirmed for the weekend of Saturday, Septem-

ber 22, and Sunday, September 23. A public open house featuring a silent auction, live music, food and drink, and tours will take place from 4 to 7 p.m. September 22. The following day, September 23, LeMonds will offer specials like discounts and prizes for club members. Regular services will still be offered the entire weekend. As the spa is still in soft opening mode, renovations are ongoing. For more information on LeMonds, visit wigwamarizona.com/spa. The spa’s address is 195 Old Litchfield Road, west of the northwest corner of Wigwam Boulevard and Old Litchfield Road. Also opened in July was Lakeside Grill. It opened at Estrella Mountain Ranch’s Starpointe Residents Club. Lakeside Grill is located at 17665 W. Elliot Road, Goodyear, and comes equipped with a patio, and inside dining room with a fireplace. Situated on North Lake, it serves classic and creative American fare. The public can enjoy lunch from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily; dinner from 5 to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 5 to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday; and the Wine Down Happy Hour from 3 to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Weekend brunch is in the works. For more detailed menu information, visit lakesidegrillestrella. com. Keeping in Goodyear, and a bit more recently, a new Tailgaters Sports Grill

Kneaders helping the fight against cancer By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

Kneaders Bakery and Café’s elephant-shaped cookies are helping the restaurant’s guests make a difference. The Utah-based bakery and eatery is selling the light-blue, white chocolate-covered snacks with rainbow sprinkles for $2.99 to raise money for the Huntsman Cancer Foundation, spearheaded by Dr. Joshua Schiffman. The cookies, part of the restaurant’s Hope Helps Fight Childhood Cancer campaign, are available through October 3 at all 17 Arizona Kneaders locations, including the Avondale restaurant at 10112 W. McDowell Road. Kneaders CEO James Worthington said Schiffman’s research shows elephants rarely get cancer and have 40 copies of a cancer-ﬁghting p53 gene, whereas humans only have two. Most children suffering from cancer only have one.

The growing restaurant brand, which has other locations in Litchﬁeld Park, Glendale, Peoria, Surprise, Phoenix and Prescott Valley, serves pizza, pasta, wings, burgers, sandwiches, salads, desserts and more. The Goodyear location is at 530 N. Estrella Parkway. The Litchﬁeld Park location is at 5110 N. Dysart Road. For

The timing is perfect, as September is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. “Cancer is something personal to me and my family,” Worthington said. “My nephew, Tanner, was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma in 2015. He’s doing great now, but it was heart-wrenching for us to watch as a family. “We wanted to support him any way we could. We’re a family business, so we thought we would join the ﬁght against cancer.” Worthington, whose father had urinary tract cancer, said Schiffman also survived Hodgkin Lymphoma. “He’s changing the landscape of cancer treatment options for young people or anybody who has cancer,” Schiffman added. “This became something very, very personal for us. We wanted to help out and do what we do best, which is make cookies.”

The cookie program launched in 2016 and Kneaders has baked a different style of cookie each year. The current rendition is an homage to grandma’s animal cookies. “We named our elephant mascot Hope,” he said. “The whole premise of this is to bring hope to those who have to deal with cancer.” September is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Kneaders guests can do- Month and, in support of that, Kneaders Bakery and Café selling elephant-shaped cookies.

Senior-heavy defense hopes to lead Westview football to success By Eric Newman

In preparation for the 2018 football season, Westview High knew it had a large group of talented seniors in the works who would hopefully lead the team to success. Many of the unit’s defenders describe themselves as “the little guys” who simply come out and play to their assignments, rather than overpower opposing offenses with their size and strength. Defensive coordinator George Burgess said his unit is the most senior-heavy he’s coached in numerous years. In fact, through three games, nine seniors had accumulated 12 tackles or more. Besides just having another full offseason athletic training and practice, Burgess said because the unit is stacked with so many players who understand his system, he can make quicker changes with the playbook than years past. That proves he trusts his players. “I can do a lot more with play calling, but I also can do things that create illusions, because they understand no matter what our call is or what the ini-

tial look is on the ﬁeld, they know 100 percent where they’re supposed to end up,” he said. With most of the players climbing from freshman to varsity together, the seniors are close. They make time each week after games to just hang out and not think about football. “Every week, we have senior bonding dinners. We’ll grill up or cook and

all go swimming or do something fun. It helps us click as a unit,” senior linebacker Jacob Miranda said. Not a whole lot has changed for the guys. They are just a few years older. Safety Michael Lopez said the class of 2019 has been looking forward to this year. “We were all talking about being on varsity as freshman, and now it’s kind of like we’re all the same group just a few years later,” he said. There is a lot of friendly competition in games and practice, through their own stat-keeping. Unlike most of Arizona’s top teams, there aren’t players who dominate the tackling totals. It is spread evenly. Each player is keenly aware of his statistics, including tackles, sacks and interceptions. The seniors are quick to tell one another if they are breaking ahead from the group with their numbers. “We kind of brag about it to each oth-

er the next week in practice. It keeps us hungry to keep doing more and get stops,” Lopez said. Burgess said the Knights’ defenders play unselfishly, though, and know statistics do not mean everything for a defense. He tries to impress upon each of them that many highlights or big stops are not mentioned in the box score. “We preach that you can make the play without making the tackle. We give the kids a lot of credit when they turn a runner back or they fill a gap. They may not make the tackle, but I tell them they made the play, and that gives them confidence,” he said. Coming off a 6-6 season, in which they reached the second round of the 6A playoffs, the defense was kicked around slightly to begin their season-opening game against Desert Ridge. Westview defeated the Jaguars 23-7 in the 2017 playoffs, and Desert Ridge scored 14 points in the opening quarter this year. Westview would eventually tie the score, but lost 23-17, forcing the group to re-evaluate. “There’s such a big change of speed when you play for real, and I think they realized that right away. Desert Ridge kind of put it to us on the first drive, and it woke us up, really.” The Knights immediately recalibrated and shut out their next two opponents. Having made the playoffs each year since 2009, Westview has a history of success, and the defense knows it must continue this style of play to lead the Knights there again. “We don’t want to be the first group of seniors who didn’t reach that point, and we’re motivated to do it again,” Miranda said.

Canyon View football players incorporate yoga in training plan By Aliyah Chavez

Canyon View High School football players are saying “om” to yoga by working with a local business to ensure they remain flexible and fit. Led by Goodyear-based Ignite Yoga, the program kicked off September 6 during an assessment in the school’s wrestling room. “Yoga helps with flexibility, which we know increases athlete performance, reduces injuries and helps with

recovery,” said Canyon View Principal Phillip Nowlin. “There are so many beneﬁts to yoga and I want to start our program with a comprehensive strength and conditioning plan.” The athletes at Canyon View, which opened its doors August 6 and is building a football program from scratch, practiced movements like child’s pose and downward dog, and breathing ex-

Millennium’s Cooper commits to ASU By Griffin Fabits

Anthonie Cooper was not pleased with himself after his junior campaign for the Millennium Tigers saw him finish the season with 27 total tackles and 5.5 sacks through nine games. “I put a lot of work in throughout the offseason,” Cooper said of the months leading into his senior year. “I wanted to show colleges what I was capable of and that’s what I did to show what I can do on Friday nights. I just took it more seriously.” He attended camps over the summer, speaking with different college coaches on learning how to elevate his game. “I think I’m more knowledgeable about the game now and I think I’ve taken my physical ability to the next level.” Pledging to put in the extra work has quickly parlayed into a number of colleges expressing interest in Cooper’s services. And on September 11, the 6-foot-3, 275-pound senior announced his commitment to furthering his football career at ASU via Twitter. Cooper has been a fixture for head coach Lamar Early’s defense. He’s amassed 5.5 sacks, already matching last season’s total, and has added two forced fumbles and a blocked field goal to his already-impressive resume. His 26 total tackles leave him just one shy of last year’s total.

Yoga...continued from page 12 ercises. Canyon View officials hope yoga will give students the best opportunities to be successful. “In exposing our athletes to different movements such as yoga and the different movements we do in the weight room, these guys are going to get state-of-the-art, collegiate-like training as they go through their high school career, which is pretty special,” said Raymond Karvis, assistant coach. Student-athletes like quarterback Ryan Finch shared how they think yoga can benefit them. “Yoga is good after games when we are sore to flex out and stretch. I think it can help our bodies,” Finch said. Similarly, wide receiver Walker Foster was excited to work with Ignite Yoga teachers. “They help with professional and

But Cooper credited his coaching staff for getting in contact with the ASU staff. They were able to reach out to coach Shaun Nua, a former NFL player and the Sun Devils’ defensive line coach, and Donnie Yantis, an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at ASU, to showcase the Tigers’ defensive tackle. “We started getting in contact and showing up to all ASU’s camps to really show who I was and how I played and after that, they just kept in contact with me and brought me out on an unofficial (visit) and offered me there.” Cooper’s unofficial visit was September 8, where he watched ASU’s 1613 upset victory over No. 15 Michigan State from the best seat in the house: on the sidelines. Cooper also received interest from Washington State, Utah State, the University of Arizona and Michigan State. It’s easy to get lost in his stats, but what matters to him, he said, is the Tigers are 3-0. “We’re ecstatic,” he said of the best start the Tigers have had in Cooper’s tenure. He does have personal goals. Play collegiate football? Check. That one was nearly seven years in the making when he first started playing at 11 years old. Up next: Reach double-digit sacks college football players, so it’s cool that we’re actually getting hands on with them, too.” The partnership with Ignite Yoga is led by owner Eva Shaw. “It’s inspiring and exciting to be part of something where you have goals and aspirations set for the kids,” Shaw said. “There are no limits and I’m happy to be there to guide them and help them. “We take our job seriously because we want the best for the kids. I feel if the expectations are high, the kids will raise high.” Canyon View High School officials plan to include yoga in their athletic training across all sports. “This is starting with our football program, but it will not end there,” Nowlin said. “We are going to expand this program across our entire athletic department. We are excited to continue partnering with Ignite Yoga.”

Youth Triathlon Event set to take place in Verrado By Griffin Fabits

The fourth annual Youth Triathlon Event for children ages 4 to 14 will be held Saturday, October 13, at Verrado’s Center on Main. Grouping for the event is further broken down into 6 and under; 7 to 8 year olds; 9 to 10 year olds; 11 to 12 year olds; and 13 to 14 year olds, according to Sarah Byers, head coach of Verrado’s Vitras Swim Club and one of four people who runs the event. Each age group will run, bike and swim a separate distance from 8 to 11 a.m. The 4-to-6-year-old group will be accompanied by their parents on the track. Byers is joined by her husband, Jeff, as well as Jeffrey and Theresa Gill in running the event, a project they’ve spearheaded each of the last four years. The cost to participate is $30, which will be donated this year to Arizonans for the Protection of Exploited Children and Adults organization and its project, Natalie’s House, in Goodyear. Natalie’s House, named in honor of singer Natalie Grant, is an eight-bed home that “can offer a safe haven for

The second clinic we do swimming and a little bit on transitioning, how to transition from swim to run. The last clinic we do swim, bike and run, basically a mini practice triathlon,” Byers said. Byers said she took initiative to start an event like this because of the lack of races for children in the West Valley. “It’s gotten really big and really popular and every year we always get more sponsors and more interest so it’s cool to watch it go from this little triathlon to this bigger thing that people are really interested in and all the kids look forward to every year.” To register, visit trisignup.com and then search for the Verrado race.

Events such as concerts and theatrical performances that fall outside the View’s circulation area will be considered because there are no concert halls or theater venues within our boundaries. 9 Days a Week calendar items print on a space-available basis. The only way to guarantee that an item will print is to purchase an advertisement. Submissions must reach our office by 4 p.m. Wednesday to be considered for the following Wednesday publication. Submissions must be in writing and may be emailed to Rachel Hagerman, rhagerman@timespublications.com or faxed to 623-935-2103.

I’ve contacted a lot of the guys who were there in January.” Holloway, who formerly performed with West Valley Country Music Association, said his open mic is filling a void. He downplays his talent, however, he wrote a Vietnam veteran tribute song, “Dark Marble Wall,” which he has performed at public events. “I’m not an accomplished guitar player,” he said. “There is a lot of stuff going on in central, north and east Phoenix. It’s hard to find something in the West Valley to go to regularly. We’re going to host it the last Sunday of the month from September to April. I enjoy being around music, trying to sing and play a little guitar.”

2018 Volkswagen Tiguan is a pleasant ride By C.A. Haire

The market is flooded with many compact SUV brands and models, but very few are capable of three-row seating, allowing for seven passengers to be carried. This Tiguan is available with a third seat, which makes it a good selling point right away. This, combined with a gas saving four-cylinder engine, combines economy with people space, another advantage. Under the hood is a turbocharged 2.0-liter motor putting out 184 horsepower, hooked to an 8-speed automatic gearbox. Fuel economy is rated at 22/27 mpg, but on several highway trips between Avondale and Tucson, we observed 32 mpg using regular fuel. The Tiguan is offered in all-wheel drive for better traction, which we did not have. This option will cause fuel consumption figures to go down as it makes the

engine work harder. The interior is nothing fancy, but pleasant enough. All controls are simple and easy to use. The steering is a bit too light, but very quick and responsive. The ride quality is soft enough, yet cornering ability is very good. The sun visors do a poor job of blocking rays out of the side windows, however, which is annoying. The base price starts at about $25,000. This test example was still reasonable at $30,000. But, like most German brands, be careful with that option list. With all the goodies, the Tiguan can reach the $40,000 level.

The 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan ranges from around $25,000 to the $40,000s, depending on features. (Photo courtesy Volkswagen)

Desert Edge students remember 9/11 victims By Aliyah Chavez

Desert Edge High School students paid tribute to 2,996 fallen victims of 9/11 by forming a line near Yuma Road, holding a handcrafted link imprinted with the deceased’s names. Nicknamed “Every Name Matters,” the event aimed to educate the high school students, many of whom were not born or do not remember the attack. “Because I was born in 2001, my entire class is the last one to have been alive during 9/11,” said senior Caleb Deshazer. “I don’t remember it, but I was alive for it. I feel like I have an obligation to be doing these kinds of things and making sure that day is never forgotten.” More than 50 students arrived at school early and stood in the heat holding their paper creations. Collectively, they cheered when passersby honked their car horns in support of the project. “Honk, honk!” the students yelled. A particularly heartwarming moment came when an ambulance was approaching the intersection with its

Her students then folded those pieces of paper and stapled them together to form a chain. “Students are continuously shocked at how long the chain is and how many names there are,” Eldean said.
