WV residents suing Katie Hobbs for libel By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski
Four West Valley residents are suing secretary of state candidate Katie Hobbs for libel after she claimed one of the plaintiffs was flashing a white supremacist sign in a photograph with Doug Ducey. The group is seeking $20,000 in compensatory damages. Taken at the Mohave County Republican Committee’s Patriot Dinner in Kingman, the photo shows Lesa Antone of Litchfield Park flashing an “OK” sign with Jennifer Harrison of Peoria, Antone’s husband Russell Jaffe, Jeremy Bronaugh of Goodyear and Ducey around her. On April 29, the then-senate minority leader tweeted the photo with the caption, “Gov. Ducey, I hope you realize this woman is flashing a white supremacist sign. These are part of the group that shows up at the Lesa Antone of Litchfield Park is shown here flashing an “OK” sign during the Mohave County Republican ComPatriot Dinner in Kingman.

Litchfield Park city manager is up for any challenge By Alexis Alabado
Bill Stephens does not get flustered working as Litchfield Park’s city manager. He does not get overwhelmed. Instead, he takes a step back, rubs his clean-shaven chin, scratches his white hair, and addresses the problem with careful consideration. Stephens, 63, said he has age and experience to thank for never losing his cool. His resume is impressive: an experienced city manager of four years elsewhere, retired
U.S. Air Force colonel and senior federal civil servant. When it comes to city management, there’s almost nothing he can’t do. “Every day I get out of bed, and I think, ‘What’s today hold? What’s the next challenge, the next opportunity to help make someone’s life good?’” Stephens said. Stephens is halfway done with his first year as Litchfield Park’s city manager. Appointed by the mayor and city council in March, Stephens said it’s a challenge to keep a community going, but these positive
challenges are what takes care of people. “I look at what I do as an opportunity to improve upon something that currently exists, or create something to improve the quality of life for other people,” Stephens said. He comes from a long line of serving others. His ancestors worked alongside George Washington before the name became etched into American history, and a city in Virginia was named after the

Manager...continued from page 1 original Stephens, who led expeditions in the wilderness. The second youngest of six kids, Stephens started life on a farm in Ohio. When he was 5, his parents packed their bags and moved the family to the Valley, spending time in Tolleson and Maryvale. He graduated from West Phoenix High School, now dubbed Metro Tech High School. Afterward, Stephens attended Phoenix College and graduated from ASU with a Bachelor of Arts degree. At the time, he was hoping to become a Phoenix police officer, but processing was delayed. Stephens said he had met a retired Air Force officer, and that’s when the Air Force presented a great opportunity for him to use his college degree and become a navigator. From there, Stephens went on to do a number of things “in all walks of life,” including becoming an executive officer to a commander, air weapons control at Luke Air Force Base, grounds safety, security and finally, base commander for four Air Force military installations. Stephens said working as base commander taught him to look at problems

from a “bigger picture” perspective, as he had to make sure utilities worked, roads were fixed, recreation centers and athletic fields were up to standards, and police and fire departments relayed important information. “You basically ran the base,” Stephens said. “It’s like running the city.” Stephens retired from the Air Force after 37 years of service, but said he wasn’t fully ready to commit to retirement.

Eventually, Stephens landed a spot in Benson, where he spent the next four years running the city. Stephens said executing the daily agenda to keep a city running was nearly identical to his time working as base commander. As time passed, Stephens said he wanted to be closer to family members and friends in the West Valley and decided to apply for Litchfield Park city manager. To him, it was a natural transition to come home, he said. Stephens describes Litchfield Park as a 3.3-square-mile “oasis” surrounded by other larger cities. “The quality of life here is exceptional, and so far, everyone that I’ve met has been willing to pitch in and contribute,” Stephens said. “That’s a really positive thing in local government.” Stephens said the first six months in office have given him an opportunity to assess how his team functions. He will spend the next six months filling vacant positions, rearranging staff, streamlining business systems and improving the budgeting process.

done a great job of integrating himself within the community and becoming acquainted with the city’s issues. The previous city manager, Darryl Crossman, died last year of health complications. “I fully expect that in his own way of managing the city, he will end up being just as good of a city manager as Darryl was,” Schoaf said. Schoaf said Stephens has a very “upbeat” personality, which is essential in carrying out city manager tasks. “Bill fits in perfectly,” Schoaf said. “He has the same type of attitude that is consistent with what we’re trying to do; he’s here to serve our residents and make this the best place to live.” Stephens said one of his proudest accomplishments in the first six months was with the Litchfield Preschool. New floors, furniture, toys and books have been implemented for students. Additionally, Stephens said the recreation center has gone through major changes, and the city is working with the county to install a swimming pool slide by next swim season. The biggest thing going on in Litchfield Park, Stephens said, is planning the new downtown city center and the city’s ongoing ability to work with the Wigwam Resort. The resort is looking to expand, and Litchfield Park wants to build a city center with retail and restaurant businesses, office space, residential condos and more. If everything goes right, Stephens said construction will begin in 18 months. “We’re all working together to try and build the best plan to make this a really improved community that is a destination people want to come to and have fun,” Stephens said. When he’s not working, Stephens said he enjoys hiking local trails with his daughter and niece, traveling with his wife, visiting friends from around the world, and singing in a band that performs at assisted living homes. Stephens said family is an important part of his life, and he is thankful most of his family is located in the Valley. He and his wife, Nora, will celebrate their 31st anniversary this month. When the time comes to officially retire, Stephens said he wants to leave behind a legacy of “service before self” and making life better for other people; service was the seed planted in his youth and is something he will continue to do in any capacity. “If you’re in a position to help improve a situation,” Stephens said, “you take it.”

to act in good faith toward honest discourse on all platforms.” Antone said the group is suing because Hobbs wouldn’t apologize. Hobbs’ spokesman refused comment. “The funny thing is, all we asked for was an apology,” said Antone, who said her husband is Jewish. “Instead, she went ahead and tagged more people. It’s been everywhere. I go places and people know who I am because of that. “I’ve never been arrested. I don’t have a parking ticket. I work with the police. I love the police. I’m not a political figure. I’m a stay-at-home grandma.” According to the complaint, the photo was retweeted 245 times by 245 individuals, making the false statement and photo go viral. Local papers published the photo with the “inflammatory” tweet as well. “The tweet is libelous on its face,” the complaint continued. “It clearly exposes the plaintiffs to hatred, contempt, ridicule, loss of business, termination of employment, death threats and obloquy.” They said they are not white supremacists and do not consider an “OK” hand gesture as a secret white supremacy sign. They have not carried AR15 weaponry to the Arizona Capitol, nor have they harassed elementary school children. “I didn’t even think about it,” Antone said of the “OK” hand gesture. “We were just goofing around, having fun and talking to people. “I’ve never had any interaction with Katie Hobbs whatsoever. Saying I’m throwing white power hand signals is pretty low. We asked Katie to take it down and she has not.” Because of the tweet, Harrison claims she was fired from her real estate job and her reputation was damaged. Antone also said her address was published online and she was forced to install a security system due to death threats. Jaffe, too, said the tweet has caused him damage. He said he has received threats as well and has been ridiculed at work. He was reprimanded by his employer and his job is jeopardized. Bronaugh said he was fired from his job and his reputation was damaged. “Any reasonable person knows it means ‘OK,’” Antone said. “When you take a conservative view, you don’t have the media on your side. I’m always a ‘protestor.’ I’m not a ‘pro-life activist.’ I’m ‘anti-abortion.’ “It’s a pretty evil thing to tweet somebody out and use their position and power as an elected official to call a citizen a white supremacist. It’s pretty ugly. I couldn’t care less what color somebody else is. We need to take this down and issue a retraction.” Bronaugh agreed. “It’s a constant hassle,” he said. “Whenever we go out, we’re called a racist. It never ends. That being said, we want her to basically, one, take it down and, two, issue a public apology. I have two girls and I worry for their safety.”

Buckeye teacher wins science materials from Sonic By Carrie Snider
Sarah Mullen’s eighth-grade students will get to explore science in a more hands-on way thanks to new science materials awarded to her through the Sonic Limeades for Learning program. “As a science teacher, I know handson activities and experiments not only increase scholar engagement, but also their understanding,” said Mullen, who teaches at The Odyssey Institute for Advanced and International Studies Junior High in Buckeye. She submitted several projects in hopes of them being chosen, and four of them were fully funded with $2,400 worth of science supplies. “In the past, I have posted projects on DonorsChoose and I regularly check their website to see which companies are offering one-to-one matched donation offers. On their website I saw information posted that Sonic-affiliated teachers could receive a $600 donation towards their project.” This was her first year participating in the Limeades for Learning program, where teachers from all over the United States can create projects for a chance to receive funding. Teachers then share

their projects online so others can vote for them. “I submitted my projects during the last week of September and they went live on the website on October 1. On October 2 I received emails that Sonic had fully funded all four of my projects! I’m not exactly sure how that happened, but I’m not complaining.” The four projects included Chemistry Labs, Patriotic Chemistry, Chemical Reactions, and Mitosis and H2O.
The following equipment has already been delivered to Mullen’s classroom: • A Bakers Dozen Demo Chemistry Kit – 13 different chemistry labs • Carolina Transfusion Matching with Synthetic Blood Kit – Blood transfusion lab • Molymod Advanced miniDNA Set – DNA model • Identification of Chemical Reactions Kit – Chemical reaction labs • Modeling Mitosis and Meiosis 8-Sta-

tion Kit – Mitosis models • Magnetic Water Kit Class Set – H2O molecule models • Patriotic Colors Class Chemistry Kit – Chemistry Labs Mullen and her students are excited to start using the materials to enhance their science learning. “During the chemistry unit, my scholars will be able to conduct experiments to explore chemical reactions and use models to identify the polarity of water molecules,” she said. “During the genetics unit, they will use a model to identify the structure of DNA and bring mitosis to life with the chromosomal modeling kit. They will also have the opportunity to use synthetic blood to identify safe blood transfusions.” She added that school funds, parent donations, and personal funds provide a lot towards student learning, but science materials can be expensive. Mullen is always looking for grants to help purchase lab materials or other handson activities. “It means so much to me that organizations like Sonic are willing to make a difference and positively impact public schools.”

Dispose of unwanted prescriptions in Avondale By West Valley View staff
The Avondale Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration are hosting a medication disposal event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, October 27, at CVS Pharmacy, 280 N.

The concern is that older homes might not have working smoke alarms, which expire after 10 years.

Who does Lesko represent? Editor:
After reading the article recently published by the West Valley View and written by Lesko herself, I have to just say, really? Recently, a very nice letter was written to Rep. Lesko, just sharing some opinions and asking some questions. The most generic letter ever seen was sent in response. I have no doubt that she never saw the letter or has any intentions of addressing any of the concerns. All I know is that at this point she does not represent me or countless others in Arizona’s 8th Congressional District. Dan Dillon Goodyear
Socialist is in good company Editor:
A political ad keeps running on TV wherein Kyrsten Sinema calls herself a socialist. The announcer says it like it’s a bad thing. About eight years ago I started collecting my Social Security. Years ago, when I couldn’t pay all my bills and my husband didn’t send child support, I received a supplemental check from the Department of Economic Security. On both of those occasions I collected money through a government agency which is considered, according to legal terms, socialist. So, I guess I’m in good company. Rhea Diamond Buckeye
Three important choices for Arizona Editor:
November 6 is fast approaching and Arizona needs to send a vicious slap in the face to an out-of-control administration running amuck who may very well get a Supreme Court justice, confirmed by a delirious Senate, who will rule to expand executive power to levels of authoritarianism that were inconceivable just a few years ago. This is the most out-of-touch Senate ever, with leaders like Mitch McConnell, Orrin Hatch and Charles Grassley. First, David Garcia must replace Doug Ducey as governor. Ducey is the new Pygmalion boy being groomed by the Koch Brothers, who marches to their call to ca-
dence. He is a true “Koch head” owned, bought and paid for by Charles and David. He will lift all environmental controls that protect our beautiful state including those on the reservations. Martha McSally fiercely condemned Donald Trump, the candidate and even the president. Now she cozies up to him in the most positively nauseating, effusive and taciturn manner possible. She just loves him now and lies at a level that may even rival Trump’s own deceptions and misdirections. The only legitimate candidate who will protect Arizona voters is Kyrsten Sinema. Sinema is one of the few candidates who can truly be bi-partisan. Finally, we need to replace Debbie Lesko, who will vote to cut major funding to both Medicare ($477 billion in Arizona alone) and Social Security. Dr. Hiral Tipirneni will protect Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Lesko is also a darling of the Kochs. If you are one who cares about receiving the benefits you paid for, voting for Lesko is unconscionable. So is voting for Ducey and McSally. Vote Garcia for governor, Sinema for senator and Tipirneni for Congress’ Eighth District of Arizona. David Compton Litchfield Park
Prada socialist
Editor: Congresswoman Kyrsten Sinema is running to represent Arizona in the U.S. Senate. She is trying to position herself as a centrist Democratic, despite her past ties to Marxist and Communist publications and organizations. Some believe she still harbors far left views despite her claim of moving to the center. In an article on June 28, 2018, written by Terresa Monroe on noisyroom.net, the writer referred to Ms. Sinema as a “well-educated aspiring Marxist.” So who is the real Kyrsten Sinema? In 2006, Ms. Sinema referred to herself as a “Prada socialist.” Cute: A well-heeled socialist. I suppose one could refer to Nicolas Maduro, socialist dictator of Venezuela, as a “foodie” socialist, as he enjoys gourmet food while his citizens are starving. In May of 2002 and 2003, Ms. Sinema was a signatory to an advertisement in the Communist Party USA’s People’s Weekly World publication. In 2008,
she spoke at a Democratic Socialists of America-sponsored conference regarding taking back America. In the early 2000s, she helped organize an anti-Israel group, Arizona Alliance for Peace and Justice, to denounce Israel’s “disproportionate use of violence and oppression.” In an October 12 article in the Jewish Journal entitled “Can Jews Believe Kyrsten Sinema,” columnist Shmuel Rosner reviewed all of Ms. Sinema’s extensive early anti-Israel bias, associations and activities, and concluded that he doubted Ms. Sinema would agree with the “idea that Israel should exist within secure borders and should exist as a Jewish state.” Like all good socialists, Ms. Sinema wants Medicare for all (socialized medicine), which means a single-payer, government controlled, health care system where “free” means waiting interminably for a government bureaucrat to determine if you are eligible for a procedure. Actually, free is not so free, as all citizens typically pay heavy health care taxes regardless of how healthy one is. In Canada, which essentially has a single-payer system, health care is rationed, access can be limited for serious medical issues, and quality is spotty. What better way to control the masses than controlling their “health care?” In 2017, Ms. Sinema voted to reduce funding to ICE by $100 million and voted against the Trump tax bill that has led to a booming economy, more job participation, and more income for everyone, including the rich (i.e., the risk takers, job creators and biggest tax contributors). Playing the typical socialistic class envy card, she and her fellow socialists condemned the vote as a vote for the rich, except those who benefited
the most were the low income. Ms. Sinema knows that to win she must appear moving to the center – for now. She still, however, opposes a border wall, opposes tax breaks for individuals and corporations, identifies with anti-military groups, promotes identity politics, supports sanctuary cities and desires bigger government. Trying cleverly to reinvent herself may fool some, but her biggest problem will be her allegiance to a party that has embraced socialism, anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, anti-First Amendment and lawlessness.

November is critical
Editor: November’s election is critical and offers clear choices. On one side is the new progressive-led Democrat Party that wants to turn America into a socialist Venezuela of the north, and on the other is the new Trump-led Republican Party that is rebuilding America and reestablishing America’s credibility around the world. The once proud Democrat Party that supported America, working people, capitalism, laws and cared for the downtrodden has morphed into a radical socialist movement that supports mobs, criminal organizations like Black Lives Matter and MS-13, puts the poor into “poverty prisons” for political reasons, uses sexism and racism as legitimate political tools, has no tolerance for those who are Christian or who believe in the Constitution, and is a party that’s

Letters...continued from page 9 only identifiable issue is “resist.” The once-wimpy Republican Party, now under the leadership of Donald Trump, is rebuilding America and reestablishing our standing in the world, making the world safer, energizing the economy, draining the Washington, D.C., swamp, restating the truth that America is a Christian nation that allows freedom of religion, offering real help to the downtrodden, making us believe in America’s exceptionalism once again, fighting the use of racism or sexism as political tools, and generally making America great again. So yes, in November, the choices are clear, and my choice is to have the children of the future waving flags, not living under socialism. Bob Edwards Buckeye
Prop 126
Editor: I encourage all voters to join me in voting “Yes” on Proposition 126 in the upcoming November election. Proposition 126 protects all of us from threat of unnecessary service taxes. Arizona currently does not have a service tax, and Prop 126 would keep it that way by ensuring politicians can’t create one without a vote of the people. Service taxes are not sales taxes. Service taxes would apply to everyday services and labor all Arizona families need such as car repairs, air conditioning and plumbing repairs, veterinary visits, health care, childcare, haircuts and so much more.

are already expensive enough. Taxes on these essential services would hurt small businesses, low-income and fixed-income families the hardest. So if you feel like you already pay your fair share of taxes, join me in voting “Yes” on Proposition 126, the Protect Arizona Taxpayers ballot initiative, in November.

Our constitutions
Editor: As citizens of the United States and Arizona, our rights are guaranteed and protected by our two constitutions. Interestingly, they are dramatically different in many aspects, but most importantly in the ability to amend the document. The U.S. Constitution was adopted on September 17, 1787. Amending this document is difficult. It requires two thirds of both the Senate and House to propose and three fourths of the states to approve. The first ten amendments, best known as the “Bill of Rights,” were ratified on December 15, 1791. Since then, there have only been 17 amendments and, in one case, it required an amendment to repeal an amendment. I’m talking about Prohibition. The last amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified on May 7, 1992. The reason this document is so fundamental to our nation is that it is so difficult to change. The Arizona Constitution is a very different document. It was adopted

‘No’ to 305
Editor: Arizona PTA is the largest child advocacy association in the state, and we are against the statewide expansion of school vouchers and against Prop 305. We simply do not support the use of public funds for private education. Special interest groups have tried to make vouchers and school choice synonymous. They are not the same. Arizona’s families have had school choice for years. ESA vouchers are the removal of
public funds and funneled toward private education. Public funds are meant for public schools, not funneled to schools that are not transparent nor held accountable to anyone to allow people who can well afford private education from paying their fair share. Most of these schools don’t have to accept students with special needs and discriminate against students based on race, creed, sexual orientation and more. Proposition 305 is an initiative that takes desperately needed funds away from our public schools. Arizonans deserve fully funded public schools, quality teachers and curriculum that make sense. It robs funding from the choice that 90 percent of Arizonans make to educate their children – public schools. Please join parents, teachers and community members in speaking for every child with one voice and say “No” on Prop 305! Beth Simek President of the Arizona PTA El Mirage
Trump at Luke AFB
Editor: It would have been worth a lot of money to see the president swell with pride when he got his first look at the 76 F-35 Fighter Jets at Luke Air Force Base on October 19. He had to be so proud of what we’ve been able to do for our national security with the F-35s. Anyone living in the area can see what the F-35s at Luke have done for the economy, but more importantly how we can show our air superiority and our super superior military. The turnout for the rally always makes me proud of Arizona, but the Luke tour had to be one of the best moments of his presidency. I’m sorry I couldn’t be there, but once again Arizona shines.

Celebrating Our 12 Year Anniversary FREE 2nd Opinion
when we became the 48th State in 1912. That document reflects the changing view of government prevalent at the time. The term “Direct Democracy” has been applied to the concepts of the day. Concepts including initiative, referendum and recall were prevalent and quite different than the political concepts of 1787. Amending the Arizona Constitution is relatively easy. That is why our first amendments were passed in the year of statehood, 1912, and we have had over 150 amendments passed in just 106 years. This year is typical in that we have three constitutional amendments on the ballot. One placed there by the Legislature and two by citizen initiatives. They are Propositions 125, 126 and 127. I am not going to discuss any of these propositions, and will leave it to the voters to do the research. It only takes a majority of voters (and we will have less than 50 percent of eligible voters casting ballots) to amend the Arizona Constitution. Ballots were mailed on October 10, and I intend to vote “No” on all constitutional amendments since it has been far too easy to put them on the ballot. We need a better way to vet these proposals, and that may require a constitutional amendment. Leonard Kirschner MD, MPH Colonel USAF (Retired) Litchfield Park

Vote Michelle Harris Editor:
This letter is to support Michelle Harris for the Arizona State Senate in Legislative District 13. Michelle is running as a Clean Elections candidate. She accepts absolutely no dark money and believes in strengthening the Clean Elections program and disclosing information about all campaign contributions. As an educator, I am impressed by Michelle Harris’ focus on education issues. She supports fully funding every public school in Arizona, increasing teachers’ salaries, affordable college tuition, and student safety. Michelle believes that “any school that receives public funds must be held to the same standards of performance, qualifications, conflicts of interest and financial transparency associated with any public entity.” Michelle supports keeping commitments to public sector employees and protecting their pensions and benefits. She is committed to ensuring pensions and benefits are fully funded and guaranteed.

Today’s Congress passed a tax giveaway for mega-corporations and the ultra-wealthy, which is exploding our national debt by $2.3 trillion. Now, we hear they want to “fix” the deficit they created by slashing benefits earned through a lifetime of hard work – Medicare and Social Security. These two examples of partisanship are also public policy issues not easily solved. But Washington’s rigged systems means “we the people” take a backseat to politics-as-usual. It’s time for a change, and fortunately, we have the power to be the change we seek. We can start with electing representatives who are beholden only to their constituents, truly putting people before politics, democracy before dollars. I would be honored to earn your vote.

I am the right choice for CD8 By Rep. Debbie Lesko Congressional District 8
This election you have a clear choice for Congress. I’m Debbie Lesko and I’m honored and blessed to serve as your current U.S. congresswoman. Since last December, when I decided to run for Congress to replace Trent Franks after he resigned, I have hit the ground running. I’ve won three elections, got sworn into office, set up two offices, have helped numerous veterans and other constituents, introduced legislation to secure the border, improve education and protect Social Security and Medicare, have participated in five town halls and have toured schools, businesses and organizations throughout our district – all in the last eight months. I am a good fit for our district, and I have a proven track record in both Congress and during my nine years in the State Legislature of getting things done and helping my constituents. Because of my hard work and dedication
to our community, I have been endorsed by mayors, city council members, Sun Cities HOA leaders, county supervisors, small and large business organizations, an Arizona doctors association and more. The differences between me and my opponent are clear. I support building and funding a border wall. My Democrat opponent, Hiral, does not. I voted to fund the wall and secure the border and have a long record of voting to fight illegal immigration. My opponent has not. I support the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act legislation passed by Congress that has created a booming economy, saved the average CD8 taxpayer $1,200-2,600, and increased wages. My Democrat opponent, Hiral, is on record opposing the tax cut legislation and has went further saying she would favor raising the Social Security tax. I support health care that protects patient choice and freedoms. My opponent, Hiral, supports a “Medicare for all”-style government-run

plan that will cost trillions, bankrupt health care, eliminate Medicare Advantage plans, and take away choice. For more information, please visit debbieleskoforcongress.com. I humbly ask for your vote and may God continue to bless you and this great country.

Business Briefcase
By Connor Dziawura
Hello, readers! Welcome back to Business Briefcase. This week, I have a quick roundup of interesting news items spanning the West Valley View’s circulation area. This week we cover the cities of Avondale, Buckeye, Goodyear and Tolleson with details for Mexican food fanatics to those with insurance needs. Well, here are the details! First, one of three new West Valley Federico’s Mexican Food locations is in Goodyear. The location, which celebrated its grand opening on October 19, has a patio and drive-thru. The latter is true for all three, as is the availability of a signature topping station. Burritos, tacos, enchiladas, tortas, quesadillas, tostadas, salads and breakfast, or even combination platters – you can get it all at Federico’s Mexican Food. “At every Federico’s location, we strive to provide each guest with prompt, friendly service and classic Mexican dishes using only the best ingredients,” said Isidro Araiza, president of Federico’s Mexican Food, in a statement. The Goodyear Federico’s Mexican Food is located at 1360 S. Cotton Lane, at the southwest corner of Yuma Road and Cotton Lane. It comes in addition to two other new West Valley locations, one at 6841 W. Northern Avenue in Glendale and the other at 11608 W. Olive Avenue in Youngtown. Now, the family-owned restaurant chain has 31 locations in Arizona and New Mexico.

Best of the West awards to honor area businesses By Connor Dziawura
After celebrating the event’s quarter of a century last year, the Western Maricopa Coalition (WESTMARC) is gearing up for the return of its annual awards dinner. The 26th annual Best of the West Awards Dinner is set from 5:30 to 9 p.m. Thursday, November 15, at State Farm Stadium, 1 Cardinals Drive, Glendale. The event’s registration and silent auction portion of the evening begins
at 5:30 p.m. and ends at 7 p.m., when the program and dinner kick off. WESTMARC President and CEO Sintra Hoffman is hoping for big things this year. “Last year we had about 550 people. The year before we had just about 400,” Hoffman said. “Our goal is to keep growing the event, obviously. So, I don’t know, the goal is like 600.” During the primary portion of the event, individuals will be recognized

Desert Edge alumnus finding continued success in Arkansas By Griffin Fabits
Aaron Ramos is in a stretch that’s seen him play the best golf of his life, the University of Arkansas at Little Rock sophomore proclaimed. And that bold statement is coming from a player who won an individual state championship in 2015 when he was a junior at Desert Edge High School. The 19-year-old is coming off a five-under weekend at the mid-October
Quail Valley Collegiate Invitational in Vero Beach, Florida. His efforts after three rounds were good enough for a seventh-place finish, courtesy of a final round of 68 that allowed him to soar up the leaderboard 12 spots. In a field of 80 contestants, Ramos tied for seventh place. His career-best total score of 211 was the best among the five Trojans competing. He also had a top 10 finish at the UTSA Lone Star Invitational at TPC

San Antonio in September. He scored a 73 in both rounds to finish two-over among the 84-person field. It’s as if he packed away his high school success in his golf bag, along with the clubs and balls and tees, when he made the cross-country trek to college last year. “I think I’ve grown a lot. I still feel, in certain parts, I’m very immature in the game of golf.

Trivium Prep Football nears first 2A playoffs undefeated By Eric Newman
Undergoing rule changes, a new style of play and fielding a small roster, the Trivium Prep football team spent the offseason unsure of how its future would look. The team was established in just 2016 with hardly enough players to field an eight-man football roster, much less the 11 that were needed to move up AIA conferences. In just their first season in Conference 2A, the 11-man Crimson Knights have shattered even their own expectations, going undefeated in their first eight games. They have won seven of their games by double-digits as well. “I knew we had some talent returning from last year, but I didn’t know what to expect. I think the biggest change was the size of the field,” said senior quarterback Mason Moore. “But, when we beat Glendale Prep in that first game by so much, it really looked like we could have a good year. I can’t say I thought we would go undefeated this far, though.” Toward the end of the season, while bigger area schools celebrated senior nights with 20, 30 or more players, Trivium Prep did not even have enough for

a basketball roster. Moore is just one of six seniors that has been with the team since its inception two seasons ago. Three more joined the team in 2018. Coach Michael Spencer said the players he gets are talented and dedicated to the sport, and are forced to learn the game quickly. The Crimson Knights play several of their best players on both offense and defense. He also puts a lot of responsibility on the current players to recruit their friends and classmates to try out, promising quick playing time – at least on JV and special teams if not more – and a spot on a successful, well-run program. “We have some good athletes at this school. We just have to share them with some of the other sports, because we just don’t have the numbers otherwise,” he said. Thus, nearly every player on the team competes in other sports for the Crimson Knights in different seasons. The practice field is filled with athletes not only preparing and conditioning for the fall season, but for basketball and other sports afterward. “We already have that brotherhood and chemistry because we play on one

team together, so playing other sports on the same team just grows our bond even more,” said Alvidrez, who also plays on the school’s basketball team. Moore is one of the few who gave up other athletics to specialize in football. He hopes to play his way onto a college football roster next academic year. A bit anxious of what 2A and more talented opponents would mean on the field, he said the larger field size, combined with more offensive skill players, time and space in the pocket has actually made leading the offense a bit easier for him. It’s shown, as Trivium has scored in droves. The least points it scored this season was in a 33-0 victory over Chandler Prep. However, Moore and the other players looking to be recruited to colleges have not received the exposure they feel they have earned. Where he said other area schools, in bigger conferences playing storied teams, have plenty of talent recruiters and college coaches at their games and practices, the same is not granted for the Goodyear high school with just around 400 students. “Coach tries really hard to talk to the people he knows and get our names
out there, but we have to also do a lot ourselves, like sending film and emails and calls to coaches and stuff like that,” Moore said. He noted that late-season success in front of larger crowds and established programs in the playoffs could be beneficial and further the Crimson Knights’ exposure to college recruiters. Trivium Prep travels to Tonopah Valley (7-2) on October 26 to close the regular season. Playoffs begin the week after. Trivium Prep will likely be a high seed – regardless of its outcome in the last game – and host a first-round game. With nine seniors – many of whom make up the core of the team – set to leave next year, further success could help in recruiting more of Trivium’s athletes to join the team in years to come. At least coach Spencer hopes so. “I’ve already had one or two kids at school come up to me and tell me they loved watching us, especially after some of the big wins. They’re like, ‘I want to be out there,’ and they’re seeing how much fun we’re having,” he said. “I tell them, ‘Go ahead, I hope to see you next season,’ because we definitely want to keep this thing rolling.”

Mariachi festival helps raise funds for EMCC scholarships

By Megan Marples
Listen to rich mariachi music and watch vibrant folklorico dancers perform at Estrella Mountain Community College’s second annual mariachi festival on Saturday, October 27. The West Valley Noche de Mariachi Festival brings musicians and performers from around the Valley to celebrate Dia de los Muertos. EMCC’s Jonathan Robles said he believes this event is a great way to showcase Hispanic culture at the college. “We really want to make sure we have events that resonate with our community, students and their families so that way it’s inclusive and also educational for folks,” said Robles, the college’s director of alumni, corporate and foundation relations. Robles described Estrella as a “Hispanic-serving institution” because more than half of the students are His-
panic. The performance not only showcases the students’ heritage, but he said it also welcomes patrons of other ethnic backgrounds to learn about Hispanic heritage. In addition to showcasing Hispanic culture, the mariachi festival helps fund future scholarships for students, according to Robles. “We really wanted to bring an event to campus that was cultural in theme to tie in the roots of our college and have it centered around raising dollars for our scholars,” Robles said. Last year, the mariachi festival sold out Estrella’s Performing Arts Center and raised $12,000. He’s hoping to do the same this year but raise $20,000. Ticket

CaZo stages final chapter in ‘Asylum’ By Megan Marples
CaZo Dance Company is tossing aside the pumpkins and candy on Halloween in favor of frights and horror in its last installment of its Asylum series, Asylum: Serial Killers. The fourth and final Asylum chapter is set in 1969 with the survivors of the previous asylum. Fictional characters Norman, Bill, Hannibal and May invite real-life serial killers like Charles Manson and Squeaky Fromme to the CaZo Asylum to show them how to become serial killers. When Annalise, a teenager who has experienced multiple exorcisms, arrives, the asylum spirals out of control. Bridgette Borzillo, the director and founder of CaZo Dance Company, found it easy to create the four-part dance series. Since 2015, she has produced an asylum show during each Halloween centered around horrifying characters with a thirst for blood. “I’m really into abnormal psychology,” said Borzillo, a Gilbert resident.

In the previous asylums, she played the role of Carrie, who was the head of the CaZo Asylum, before being killed off in the third installment. This left Borzillo with plenty of time to not only direct the show, but also to sit back and let the dancers produce. “The greatest part about this experience is that I gave a lot of leeway to the characterization and some of the choreographic work,” Borzillo said. “I gave a lot of control up with them and just said ‘create the magic.’” Tolleson resident and original CaZo member Samantha Brown has performed in all of the asylums and is looking forward to playing Fromme, who attempted to assassinate Gerald Ford in 1975. She admitted she
is not into “darker stuff” so she put more effort into transforming into her character. “I really tried to do a lot of research so that way I could play the character as best as possible because I definitely think that this is one of the characters I don’t relate to at all,” Brown said. Brown said she researched her character by reading articles and watching documentaries. She focused on learning as much as possible about Fromme, from what inspired her to her mannerisms. In this asylum, Brown said the show focuses less on the victims and more on shining a light on the serial killers. “I feel like it’s darker in the sense of feeling sad for the serial killers,” Brown said. “Basically (we’re) trying to get into the minds of what it took them to get there.” Because the show is focused on character development, Brown said she believes the audience will connect more with the characters they see on stage. Brown also thinks the dynamic characters bring the asylum story to life. “I really enjoy the concept of just telling a story and how Bridgette is able to weave together this story about an asylum that honestly I would have never thought of,” Brown said.

Wildlife World Zoo hosting sea lion pup naming contest By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski
Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium & Safari Park is asking the public to help name its new baby sea lion who was born this summer. Names can be submitted through social media at @ZooWildlife or at the park. The winner and winning name will be announced November 9. The winner will receive an annual membership for a family of four. Like all marine mammals, sea lions are protected by the landmark legislation known as the Marine Mammal Protection Act, passed in 1972. The MMPA makes it illegal to hunt or harass marine mammals found in U.S. waters. With approximately 150,000 gallons of manmade salt water for the sea lions, the Wildlife World Zoo has plenty of room to raise the new pup. The outdoor exhibit allows visitors to attend a public educational demonstration featuring the animals twice daily at Shipwreck Cove, a pirate ship display with

upper deck and underwater viewing. In addition, guests can feed the sea
lions during their two scheduled feeding times. Wildlife World’s expert sea
lion care team is committed to providing the best of care to the animals and engaging visitors. With more than 600 species and 6,000 animals on display, there are always new arrivals at Wildlife World Zoo. Other babies on display include a baboon, spider monkey, flamingos, penguins and several hoofed animal species, including wildebeests and other youngsters throughout the 100-acre park. Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium & Safari Park is located at 16501 W. Northern Avenue, Litchfield Park. It is open seven days a week, 365 days a year, including all holidays. Zoo exhibits are open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., with the last zoo admission at 5 p.m. The aquarium is open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Admission – $19 for adults, $19 for children 3 to 12, and free for those 2 and younger – includes access to the zoo, aquarium and safari park.

Adults can learn to tell tales with StoryRise By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski
Some storytimes just aren’t meant for children, according to Sean Buvala, of Avondale-based The Small-ToothDog Publishing Group. StoryRise Goodyear is one of those events. Presented by the Goodyear Arts and Culture Commission, StoryRise Goodyear is hosting How to Find Your Stories workshop for all artists at 6 p.m. Thursday, November 1. An hour later, those older than 13 can partake in and listen to spoken-word performances at the Goodyear Branch Library, 14455 W. Van Buren. StoryRise is held on the first Thursday of each month through March.
“I, for example, will be telling a complicated version of the Three Little Pigs,” Buvala said. “Everybody thinks they know that story, but they don’t. I will tell more of the grimmer of the Grimms’ fairytales, especially coming out of Halloween. We’ll have some Halloween leftovers in there. They’re not ghost stories, per se. I’ll tell the story of a ghost child who was punished to walk the earth because they didn’t give two pennies to the church. Other storytellers tell much more personal tales.” The workshop leader and a featured performer is Glenda Bonin, a Tucson storyteller working in the art form since 1996. She’ll travel to Goodyear
to help artists and all interested people learn about how to uncover their own hidden stories for personal or on-stage use. “Goodyear Arts & Culture is always expanding to explore new avenues for artistic expression,” said Guylene Ozlanski, Goodyear’s arts and culture coordinator. “StoryRise brings the audience face to face with artists to experience a ‘moment’ through the medium of storytelling.” Storytelling has taken Buvala around the world since he started in 1986. He has worked with children and adults. He teaches communication skills to businesses. “For a nonprofit, for example, peo-
ple don’t give money to an organization,” Buvala said. “They give money to what an organization accomplishes. I help people understand how to share their stories with potential donors and clients, instead of just throwing facts and figures and stats at them. Storytelling doesn’t replace facts. It frames them.” The events are free, but Buvala is asking for donations. “We used to have a phrase for StoryRise: ‘This is a no-bunny-slippers event,’” he said with a laugh. “Don’t bring children with bunny pajamas for storytime. This is not for your kids.” For more information, visit storyrise. com.

had it probably, I would guess, six or seven times, and it’s always been a real fun event.” The church’s Harvest Fest will feature games, entertainment, face painting, a dunk tank, a rock wall and a bounce house. The games, according to Wilma Carter, a church member who organizes the event with her husband, Michael, include various tossing activities involving baskets, coins, cones, buckets, rings and cans. Additionally, there will be a photo booth, and a Thing 1 and Thing 2 prop. Carter will spin upbeat Christian music of today like TobyMac and Mandisa. “What we try to do is provide a safe gathering for kids, for the community, and so it’s a lot of fun,” Howard said. The Buckeye Fire Department will have a fire truck on site for 30 minutes, and the police department will bring a Humvee and half-taxi half-police car, Carter added. Howard expanded, “We’ll have a fire truck there and the police department will bring one of their vehicles for the kids to look through and climb in.” He called it “just a lot of good, wholesome fun.” Kids’ meal gift cards donated by
Chick-fil-A will be raffled off, though a scooter will be the “big raffle,” Carter said. The free event include complimentary hot dogs, water bottles and popcorn. Kids are also encouraged to don their Halloween costumes and bring bags for trick or treating, as candy will be available. “It’s just our way of saying ‘Hey, we love you’ to the community, and just to provide a great event for kids,” Howard said.

Area children starring in Fashion Week 4 Kids By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski
Elijah Diaz is confident and funny, and wanted to roll those traits into acting. A year ago, the Litchfield Park boy started starring in commercials and now he and Alexis Miranda of Buckeye are taking part in the fourth annual Fashion Week 4 Kids. Fashion Week 4 Kids features fashion shows and children’s activities on Saturday, November 3, at Desert Ridge Marketplace. The event kicks off the week of October 29 with discounts at businesses geared toward children and families. “We are thrilled to bring FW4K back to Desert Ridge Marketplace for another year of celebrating children’s fashion and family-friendly fun,” said Jamie LeVine, chief communications officer for Steve LeVine Entertainment & Public Relations and owner of FW4K. “With FW4K, we strive to put Arizona on the map for children’s fashion, while simultaneously encouraging kids to build confidence and self-esteem
while strutting their stuff on the runway.

Student-painted tiles comprise new Copper Trails School mosaic By Connor Dziawura
Monday, October 15, was the first day back to school after fall break for students at Copper Trails School in Goodyear. But for students, parents and staff, that date marked more than that. Many of them had their first glimpses of the school’s new art wall, which was crafted with individual tiles created by students. “Just as a school we really try to push the arts, not just fine, but just arts in general,” Principal Stacy Ellis explained, adding that they wanted to bring more color and show people “there’s something special about this school.” “Our goal was that we can have as many students as possible be part of it.” We wanted “something that our kids can contribute to, where it’s just not someone doing art, but the school created this art project.” With fewer than 1,100 students enrolled, according to Ellis, many of them contributed tiles. Staff participated, too. The wall measures in at 12 feet by 12 feet. According to Elizabeth Canchola, past PTSA president and current Avondale-Goodyear Education Foundation president, WHAM Art Association designed and assembled the project while
GCON installed it by mounting panels and doing the grouting. Marty Wolfe was the artist. WHAM’s executive director, Connie Whitlock, also worked with students. “(GCON) did everything just as a community partner, like free of charge. They provided the scaffolding; they did all the grouting,” Canchola said. “We were able to work with WHAM, and they gave us a huge discount on the project. But Marty Wolfe is the artist and she was amazing. Absolutely incredible.” “She was,” Ellis chimed in. “It takes a pretty special person who’s not an educator to be able to come into the school and work with a thousand kids within that short time frame and get that type of work done. And it doesn’t sound like a lot to cut out the shape and paint it, but when you’re going from 4 year olds to 13 year olds all within a day, that’s huge.” Each student had his or her own approach to crafting a tile. Eighth grader Tyler Marr painted a Native American playing a flute. “I designed it where the flute was multicolored because I wanted to show that the school has a lot of character and has different aspects, like each color was representative,” Marr explained. “We have character, we have caring

and all those other things. And then I made the person a lot of different colors because it’s a mixed group here; a very good ethnic mixed group.” Eighth grader Eva Heinz, however, said she didn’t have a specific idea in mind. She ultimately painted polka dots, which she likened in appearance to Skittles. “It really showed how our school can come together as a community,” Heinz said of the project. Janina Katz, another eighth grader, painted a coyote. Copper Trails School unveiled a 12-foot-by-12-foot mo“I chose to do some of my saic crafted from students’ individually painted tiles. favorite colors ‘cause it just The Goodyear school has fewer than 1,100 students. and WHAM Art Association helped with instalmade me think that this activity GCON lation and design, respectively.

OBITUARIES Jane Purcell On Saturday, October 13, 2018, Jane Purcell passed away peacefully in her Litchfield Park home of 50 years, surrounded by family. She was 89 years old. Born Anna Jane Phelan on January 5, 1929 in her family home in Flagstaff, she was the second of five siblings born to Claude and Willow Phelan, both native Arizonans. As a child of the Great Depression, Jane’s father worked different jobs in Flagstaff before moving the family to Litchfield Park Air Base (renamed Luke Field in 1941) after it was built in 1940. Her father worked on base as a plumber and the children attended the local school; with the exception of Jane and brother Claude, Jr., who attended school in Phoenix. Both children lived as boarders, Claude, Jr. attending St. Mary’s High School, Jane a student at Xavier College Preparatory. Jane returned home as a senior in high school and attended Litchfield High School. Upon graduation, she returned to Flagstaff and attended Northern Arizona University. She excelled academically and played the drums in the Lumberjack Band. During this time, she met her love, Lloyd Purcell, and they secretly eloped. They were eventually “found out” and moved in to married housing to complete college. The couple returned to the west valley, settling in Goodyear, where Jane worked as a secretary at Goodyear Aerospace for a short time. They reared four daughters and in 1968 moved to Litchfield Park. Jane returned to work and became the first librarian of Litchfield Park. Beginning in a one room library with limited circulation, she began to work on a new facility which, ultimately, became the Florence Brinton Memorial Library. In 1982 she was named the Maricopa County Librarian of the Year. Jane retired in 1990 and devoted her days to grandchildren, working in her garden with her award winning roses, sewing, quilting, and reading. Jane never traveled extensively but often said she “traveled by reading books.” She was an avid “information geek” and her curious nature was usually satisfied through the pages of a book or by studying maps. Jane was known for her strong political convictions and read her newspapers from cover to cover up until recent days. She is predeceased by her husband Lloyd of 60 years, and her brothers, Claude, Jr. and James. She is survived by two sisters, Willow Seibert and Peggy Schmid; four daughters, Jan Parkinson, Mary Wagner, Patty Haydis, and Polly Franklin; 13 grandchildren, and 14 great-grandchildren. Special thanks to the staff of Comprehensive Hospice and Palliative care for their love and support. Condolences for the family may be left at www.ThompsonFuneralChapel.com.

OBITUARIES Gertrude Buttes Gertrude Buttes, age 89, of Chandler, died October 14, 2018 in Chandler. She was born March 13, 1929, in Antlers, OK to Ernest and Oda May Jack. Gertrude had a 20 year career at Agua Fria High School. She raised four sons and had a loving family. She is survived by her son, Tom Buttes (Jude); brothers, Altus and Clarence Jack; four grandchildren, Melissa (Mike), Lisa (Jason), Sam (Carolina), and Taylor (Jennifer); and eight great-grandchildren, Audri, Randy, Sam, Jr., Jax, Madison, Gage, Daniel, Katelyn. She was preceded in death by her husband, George Buttes; and sons, George, Larry, and Carl, and grandson, Chris.

Taylor Ann Denny Heartbroken, the family of Taylor Ann Denny, born April 5, 1996, announces her passing after a tragic car accident on a snowy North Dakota bypass on October 5, 2018. Taylor was just twenty-two years old. Taylor graduated from Verrado High School in May 2014. With great ambition and a zeal for creativity, Taylor pursued a career in cosmetology while still attending high school, graduating from West-Mec days later. She enjoyed a successful career with Great Clips where she was named "Stylist of the Year" in 2016. Most recently she styled for a loyal client base at Keep It Cut. Taylor was well loved not only by her clients but also by her many friends, as demonstrated by the massive outpouring of their kind words. The tragedy of Taylor's death has revealed her short life was lived full of love for others, and in return, she was loved immensely. Taylor's memory will be cherished always by her parents, Wade Denny and Julie (Frazier) Denny, and her three younger brothers; Kolton, Logan, and Joshua. She is survived by the biological daughter she adored, Jana Renee, who by Taylor's gift of adoption lives to be her greatest legacy. Taylor is treasured by her large extended family including her three living grandparents; Kathleen Denny and Jim and Delores Frazier, and dozens of aunts, uncles, and cousins. Taylor is predeceased by her grandfather, Charles A. Denny, Jr. Taylor's life was celebrated by family and friends at Palm Valley Church on October 19, 2018. Thank you for participating in remembering her that day and more importantly, for all the days to come. Condolences for the family may be left at www.ThompsonFuneralChapel.com.
