Search for missing mom continues in Buckeye By Rachel Gettinger

Thirty officers dressed in protective gear are combing through debris at The City of Phoenix SR 85 Landfill in Buckeye for any sign of missing mother Christine Mustafa. “They are sweating. They are having to comb through debris with very heavy devices – it is true manual labor,” said Phoenix Police Chief Jeri Williams. The Phoenix Police Department is coordinating the search for the 34-yearold mother of two. Williams spoke to the media Friday, November 3, during the department’s first detailed press conference since the search began October 23. She stood in front of a sign from Mustafa’s family praying for the workers’ safety. “(The search team) keeps the hope by being reassured,” she added. “There are photos of Christine in the facility, just to give them the little charge that they need. “There is this banner behind me given to us by Christine’s family just with hope. The hope that we will find things. The hope that we will bring things to justice.” Officers from Phoenix, Glendale, Mesa, Tempe and DPS, along with FBI agents, support staff and construction workers make up the 50-person team that is on site daily. The volunteer officers conduct the search from daybreak to 2 p.m. Monday

to Friday, said Phoenix Police Sgt. Alan Pfohl. “Each searcher must be a sworn officer of law to participate as the search regards confidential evidence,” Pfohl said. Phoenix Police Department’s homicide

department contracted with Banicki Construction, a Tempe-based civil construction company, to provide the necessary tools and equipment for this dig.

Tolleson bus cameras track dangerous drivers By Blakely McHugh Tolleson Union High School District has installed cameras on 20 of its buses to deter motorists who ignore the stop signs that come down when students get on or off the bus. The district plans to add 18 more by the end of November. These stop-arm cameras are becoming increasingly popular, with districts across the country adding them to their buses. “What we’re finding is that more and more people are running through and not observing the stop arms when they actually deploy,” said James West, the district’s

transportation director. “We’ve got just an incredible amount of safety factors and issues that happen through that.” From 2006 to 2015, 102 school-age pedestrians died in school transportationrelated crashes – with 36 percent struck by vehicles such as passenger cars, trucks and vans, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. School officials hope the cameras – attached to the front, back and sides of the buses near the stop arms – will improve safety for the students.

“Once the stop arm is activated, it comes out, and the stop arm cameras detect any motion that happens between the front of the bus and the back of the bus,” West said. He said the cameras take still photos and video of the license plates and vehicle. However, only 15 states can actually use the camera footage to prosecute violators, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Arizona is not one of them.

Missing...continued from page 1 “We have heavy equipment that comes in,” Pfohl said. “Using big backhoes, they will scoop a bunch of dirt and fill it into a dump truck. That dump truck will then go over to a field right next to our dig site.” Once thinly spread out, the volunteers line up with potato rakes and meticulously file through the compressed trash in search of any evidence. Cadaver dogs search with the volunteers. If anything is found, a line supervisor is notified, and the object is scrutinized. “What we have here, is we have law enforcement entities and agents really trying to exhaust every effort possible to do what we signed up to do,” Williams said. “That’s to bring someone to justice.” Mustafa was reported missing on May 11, after she did not show up for work. On May 15, the case officially became a homicide investigation. Police officers arrested Mustafa’s live-in boyfriend, Robert Interval, on suspicion of homicide. On June 8, Interval was booked on one count of first-degree murder. He pleaded not guilty. Williams said detectives and officers

have reason to believe Mustafa’s body is in the landfill, just west of her Phoenix home. “On average, we have been through anywhere from 300 to 500 tons a day. We did almost 1,324 tons the first week,” Pfohl said. According to Phoenix police, an area of 500 feet by 125 feet and 14 feet deep has been identified and roped off as a possible site for evidence. “The Environmental Protection Agency keeps strict controls over landfills, so we are able to pretty much narrow down exactly, using GPS coordinates, where each particular day’s trash is,” Pfohl said. November 3 was the two-week mark in what is expected to be a nineweek search. If the search spans the nine weeks, the cost will be about $1 million, Pfohl said. Throughout the search, dumping at the protected area has been halted. “What I love about the partnerships with the landfill facility itself is that they keep having to bring in trash,” Williams said. “So, they are having to restructure their whole entire operation so that we are able to have this search. That is city partnerships at its best.”

West said he hopes to use this footage to raise awareness. “We would be able to track where our hotspots are, so maybe if we have to reroute a bus – maybe it’s too dangerous in this one area with too many incidents – then we can do that,” West said. He also said the district would use the data to request law enforcement patrol the area during pickup and drop off times. The cameras cost $4,000 per bus. Regardless which way you’re traveling, drivers in Arizona must stop for a school bus if the bus is picking up and dropping off passengers, according to the National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services. Drivers must remain stopped until the bus begins to move ahead or the driver turns off the stop-sign arm and flashing lights. Vehicles do not have to stop if driving the opposite direction on a divided roadway, which must have a physical barrier such as a fence, curb or separation of the pavement. Roadway striping isn’t considered a physical separation. Without the cameras, bus drivers would have to write down the driver’s license plate, which could distract them, West said. “It’s just too much going on,” he said. “We want them to focus on releasing the students, how they exit and go home on their different paths, without having to deal with all that other issue of writing down a license plate and trying to collect that information.” Carol Puentes said her grandkids get dropped off on McDowell Road, a busy street in Tolleson. “It’s good to have cameras on there also because sometimes there’s cars on there that don’t pay attention,” Puentes said. “That’s going to help them see better that there’s cars that are not following the rules, so it’s safety for our children when they get off the bus.” Ultimately, West said he hopes this awareness will push the state to look into this issue.

According to Goodyear Police spokeswoman Lisa Kutis, officers responded to an argument in the 15000 block of West Diamond Street at about 7:15 p.m. When they arrived, Taylor was “argumentative and threatening to fight with officers,” she said. Taylor then “took down an officer” and caused a head injury. A second officer took Taylor into custody. Both officers were injured, but they were treated and released.

page, Fontes apologized for his “inappropriate and rude comments.” Fontes did not mention Schneider by name, however, in the apology. The incident made national news. “I got this one wrong,” he said. “I’m sorry. I’ll try to do better.” Schneider chose to issue a statement instead of doing interviews. “I felt it was appropriate to allow the voters and Mr. Fontes to resolve the issues and come to their own conclusions,” he wrote. “Arizona voters are my priority and I wanted nothing more than to begin a discussion on the matter of the voting forms. Regardless of any mistakes that were made, I did not choose to speak out because of some selfish desire for notoriety or to antagonize or deride a fellow Democrat.” Even though Schneider said he was “attacked,” he has received messages of support and encouragement. “I did receive a thoughtful message from (Fontes) and am more than happy

In 2016, Schneider was accepted into Goodyear’s Leadership Enrichment and Development academy. He used this opportunity to meet with city officials, learn about the inner workings of city government, and discuss ways to improve public services.

Route 30 Public Information Meeting 30 State You’re invited! ARIZONA

A Goodyear-based Arizona house candidate whom Maricopa County Recorder Adrian Fontes attacked via Facebook said he was not looking for attention when he offered suggestions on improving the mail-in ballot’s format. “Moderate Democrat” Nathan Schneider said in a statement to the West Valley View that he posted his concerns on Facebook because previous attempts to contact Fontes on unrelated issues were unsuccessful. Schneider was concerned because he and his mother could not easily find the November 7 election date on the mail-in ballot or envelope. Fontes told Schneider on Facebook to “go f--yourself.” “I did not anticipate he would take the ballot feedback as a personal attack on his staff,” Schneider said. “My only desire was to get through to someone who would listen and take my concerns seriously.” In a 5-minute video on his Facebook

Computer recycling firm brings joy to families

By Adam Toriseva OCM Recycle West is a small computer refurbishment company, so it’s easy to overlook. However, the love and compassion that come from owners Patty Hannon and Kate Hopeman certainly can’t be missed. During the holiday season, they do much more than their quaint office would lead visitors to believe. They run a yearly food drive in which donors receive a raffle ticket for the chance to win a laptop. OCM Recycle West and Arizona Calla-Teen Youth Resources are hosting the ambitious event from noon to 6 p.m. Friday, November 10, at 10297 W. Van

Buren Street, Suite 16, Tolleson. For more information, call 623-907-5430. The goal is to collect enough food to feed 130 families who are given food boxes and $25 grocery gift cards to purchase a turkey and other perishables. “We’re helping the youth we serve, their families, the community, and we also take some of the strain off the other food banks in the Valley,” said Hannon, who is caring for two homeless youth, and has helped them graduate high school. “The more we can spread the word, the better it is. The joy of giving these families a meal that they otherwise

would not have had is incredible.” Joanne Sangiorgi, advisement and workforce program manager for Arizona Call-A-Teen Youth Resources, is aiding OCM Recycle West with its food drive. “(Patty and Kate) are the biggest proponents of the underserved population,” Sangiorgi said. “They have been helping with our agency and so many others.” Arizona Call-A-Teen Youth Resources is a nonprofit that serves “opportunity youth.” The organization refuses to call the youth “problem” or “troubled.” Instead, Arizona Call-A-Teen Youth

Resources sees these kids as those who need an opportunity to do good. Their organization includes education, dropout recovery, a charter high school, and leadership and workforce programs. “We serve predominantly 13 to 24 year olds with education training, skillbuilding and employment,” Sangiorgi said. “We serve over 1,500 youth a year. By reengaging opportunity youth, they can recover students who would otherwise possibly not complete high school or get a job. “Once we got Patty and Kate involved, we’ve just grown every year.”

Avondale Police Department receives grant for tactical robot

By Autumn Jarrett

Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation awarded Avondale Police Department a $26,290 grant to purchase an Avatar III Tactical Robot. “The Avondale Police Department is honored to have been awarded the grant from the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation,” said Avondale Police Chief Dale Nannenga.

“This technology will provide another tool to police officers to help ensure their safety.” The robot assists the SWAT team in barricaded gunmen situations. It is a safe alternative to sending officers into unsafe situations, said Avondale Police Department spokesman Ray Emmett. The remote-controlled robot

the robot will begin upon its arrival. “We will train with it quite a bit before we actually go out and do this,” Emmett said. “We want to see what it is capable of and see what its limitations are. In the future, it is a safer way to send a robot into an unknown area. Hopefully, it will save lives and keep our officers safer.”

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS

BRANCH’S OPINION — Branchtoon.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Taking the knee Editor: I am responding to Donald Baranowski’s letter “Football fans can protest, too.” He talked about the NFL player protest and finally revealed the true meaning of the protests: racism. He was unable to contain himself and said, “Frankly, truth be told, a large percentage of players can’t write a complete sentence.” The “large percentage” he refers to is not factual and shows you what exaggerated rhetoric does to those unable to comprehend facts and remain objective in making decisions. The NCAA implemented the Academic Progress Report (APR) in 2003, which forces universities to make sure that student-athletes are making meaningful progress toward a degree. The athletes in the NFL have spent at least three years in college and have to maintain their academic standing to be eligible to play. Because a large number of NFL players are African American, Mr. Baranowski’s “truth” about players not being able to write a complete sentence, without providing factual support, is nothing but racially charged rhetoric. Even though I personally stand for the anthem and pledge, I’ll defend someone’s constitutional right to kneel long before I’ll defend someone trying to force them to stand. Watching marchers with Nazi/Confederate flags is horrifying, but if we don’t allow them to do it, then we become the Nazis. The First Amendment is crucial to our democracy. Jim Selgo Avondale

Fake news Editor: At one time in our country, we enjoyed journalistic integrity. You know, the old-fashioned journalism that, when reporting the news, would tell us who, what, where, when and why in the first paragraph. This was basic hard reporting of fact. Opinion was reserved for the editorials. That was a good thing and sadly is long gone.

Next came the journalists who added their own personal feelings to the so-called news stories, which compromise their reporting. This type of reporting has been going on for some time now, among many liberal media outlets, with the New York Times setting the cadence. Next, reporters being cheerleaders, rooting for one candidate over another, led to another ploy which was to play down, or not at all report news, which was unfavorable to the reporter’s ideology. Reporters became overly obsessed with slanting bad news for their ideological opponents. We have reached the point in this nation where reports coming out of outlets like MSNBC or CNN consistently resemble something coming out-of-state controlled media, in totalitarian countries. But it has now gotten worse. How about fake news? That would be made-up news, which never happened, just to discredit an opposing political party or an opposing point of view. A great example of fake news is President Trump colluding with the Russians to win an election. A year’s worth of work has produced a lot of smoke, but no fire. In fact, not one shred of evidence has been uncovered to substantiate this deliberately falsified so-called news story, seemingly financed by Hillary Clinton. Our nation is in peril! I remember the words of Jesus who warned humanity to be very wary of deceivers. Roy Azzarello Goodyear

a right to not like it. In my opinion, the issue that they are protesting is way more important than interrupting your Sunday afternoon pastime. Yes, these guys have “made it” in American society, but I think they feel a responsibility to their own communities to speak out against repression simply because of their success. They are in a venue where they are visible and can make a point. Finally, maybe a simpler question is why we even play the anthem before sporting events. It’s a game. I think there is a point to be made that it trivializes the anthem, whether it be a baseball game, football game or even gambling in a bingo hall, where, in Sun City, they actually say the Pledge of Allegiance or sing the anthem before playing bingo. Richard Manczko Buckeye

NFL protests

Arizona schools

Editor: This is in response to the letters regarding “taking a knee” printed in the West Valley View. These players are not protesting the country and the flag. They are protesting unequal treatment of minorities. I think lots of Americans who are not a member of some group that may be targeted, whether that be African-Americans, Hispanics, immigrants, gays and lesbians, etc., don’t truly understand. Furthermore, these guys have a constitutional right to protest and you have

Editor: I knew 20 or 25 years ago when school teachers had to buy school supplies for their students that there was major mismanagement going on in our schools. Most of us have probably been donating school supplies for many years now. Arizona has 217 school districts, 217 superintendents, more than 217 staff and administrators. There should be no more than 10 school districts. I was told by a person of knowledge that, indeed, 50 percent of our property

tax goes to the schools. Why are there so many dropouts? How many doctors, scientists and engineers do our schools turn out? We have to get our doctors from other counties. Weighing in on a past school debate in the Letters to the Editor section, teachers, in fact, do not end their days at 3 p.m. I am sure there are endless meetings and preparations that go on long after 3 p.m. It’s the school system that is a mess—not the teachers. Maybe the answer is in the question: Why so many dropouts? Vickie Chelini Buckeye

Nobody comes off looking good in this profane Twitter tiff By David Leibowitz Of all forms of government, all of which I dislike, my favorite form is county government. That’s because county government basically works likes your colon. You never notice it until it’s a problem. Case in point: Our new county recorder, a guy named Adrian Fontes, a Democrat who replaced the old county recorder, Republican Helen Purcell, who voters fired after 28 years because they didn’t like waiting in line last year on Election Day. Fontes made sure lines wouldn’t be a problem this year by switching to by-mail-only balloting for the November 7 local elections. This process and the ballot itself apparently confused a state House candidate from Goodyear, Democrat Nathan Schneider. Schneider complained on Facebook that he had a tough time finding the date of the election marked clearly. He asked his mom to read the ballot, and she, too, had a tough time finding the date. When Schneider vented on Facebook, along came Fontes. A social media tiff

ensued, with Fontes, who likes to jaw since Alexander Hamilton. Personally, I might’ve gone in a difabout being a Marine and working as a criminal defense lawyer, acting the ferent direction were I Fontes, who on Wednesday, November 1, offered a tough guy. Facebook Live soliloquy to “How about you go apologize for being mean F-yourself,” Fontes wrote. on Tuesday. I might have “If you can’t handle a litsuggested that if a canditle social media heat, then date for public office can’t don’t criticize.

bold print or headline-sized capital letters – much less any issues. Frankly, if you’re walking through life blissfully unaware that there’s an election in which you have the civic responsibility to exercise your franchise, then by all means do the rest of us a favor and sit this one out. I know life is super complicated, but if you can’t handle putting your ballot in a mailbox, again, maybe this whole voting thing isn’t for you? As for people who “don’t trust the mail” and prefer to drop off their ballot in person, I’d like to meet those folks and ask them if they also drop off their IRS payments, monthly mortgage checks and the power, cable and phone bills. I don’t trust the mail either, mostly because it’s operated by bureaucrats like Adrian Fontes. Those people have been f’ing us for years. Usually they just don’t bother to tell us to our faces.

By Connor Dziawura

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Business Briefcase! As the weeks roll on and the seasons are a-changing, the business news keeps on coming. This week, I have a small group of events, but plenty of detailed information to send you on your way. This week, I have everything from fundraiser cook-offs to new opportunities to rent a truck for the upcoming move you may have planned. But enough of that, let’s get on with the details! First, Goodyear bar Roman’s Oasis presented a $2,600 check to Phoenix Children’s Hospital on Saturday, October 28. The donated money comes from a recent live auction event in honor of the bar’s 30th anniversary. “Our staff went out into the community to explain to businesses what we were doing and ask for donations,” said Myra Curtis, owner of Roman’s Oasis. “We had several customers who wanted to participate

and so they brought things in. It was truly a Roman’s community effort to bring in all the items, so then once we had them there, we had them all displayed.” The longstanding West Valley establishment also brought in a live auctioneer. “It’s so much fun. It’s a hoot,” Curtis added. “He just makes it so much fun that everybody wants to participate, and that’s how we raised that level of money.” Roman’s Oasis will also hold the Roman & Steve Comer Memorial Chili Cook-Off and Auction on Saturday, December 2. The event is now named in memory of Curtis’ father, Roman Comer, who founded the bar, as well as her brother, Steve Comer. Operated in partnership with the Buckeye Rotary Club, the event raises funds for the Buckeye Christmas Angels. This will be the 25th year the restaurant has held the chili cook-off.

E.F. runners succeeding one uncomfortable step at a time By Casey Pritchard Estrella Foothills cross country seconds. He was 18 seconds behind coach Melanie Mock likes to use the section champion Robby Foster of word “uncomfortable.” It’s appropriate Phoenix Shadow Mountain, and .35 of for a sport in which mental fortitude is a second ahead of Phoenix Greenway’s Rsunn Miller, who was third. as important as physical strength. Finishing second in the section earned “I talk to them all the time about being uncomfortable, and our big word Carr a medal and first-team, all-section this season was being ‘tenacious’— recognition. It was another feather in the cap of the senior, hanging in there and broke the school knowing you could CROSS COUNTRY who record, won the push yourself more,” Buckeye Union High said Mock of her team. “That’s where I want them to be School District meet and was a champion when they’re racing—uncomfortable. at the Glendale Showcase September 30. “At the Glendale Showcase, it’s like Because then, they are probably pushing themselves that much more to a switch turned on, Ryan figured out he could do more, he could push himself pass that next person.” Estrella’s runners have done a lot of more,” Mock said. Carr’s time at the 5,000-meter passing this year, enough to qualify the boys and girls teams for the Division Glendale Showcase was a 17:03, III/Section III AIA Sectionals at Rose helping the Wolves take home the Mofford Sports Complex on October 26. second-place trophy as a team. “He couldn’t quit smiling (after the The boys were fourth out of 13 teams, while the girls were fifth out race),” Mock said. “From then, every of 10. The top half of finishing teams race, and even in practice, he was qualified for the AIA Division III State different. At practice, when we’re doing speed work, he was pushing Championship on November 4. Estrella senior Ryan Carr took second himself because of that realization that place in the section meet, which was a he could have another gear he could 5,000-meter course, in 17 minutes, 8.74 turn on and get more speed.”

Carr used that extra gear October 7 at the Cesar Chavez Classic, where he ran the 5,000-meter course in 16:19, establishing a new record at Estrella Foothills. “I think it was the perfect situation,” Mock said. “It was cooler. The course was nice. He would say it had a lot of grip. When he was 100 meters from the finish, and it was just after 16 minutes on my watch, I was yelling at him and then I was like, oh my gosh, he’s going to break the school record. I wasn’t expecting it at that racecourse, and then, to do it so spectacularly—it was very exciting.” Carr’s time was 40 seconds faster than his preview personal record, and 30 seconds better than the prior school record, which was set by J.J. Abramovich in 2014. Sophomore Kyle Bove also had a strong year for the Wolves. He had a PR at the Cesar Chavez Classic with a 17:09.70, and was sixth at the section meet in 17:45.26. “He was really pushing himself, I could tell, at section—probably more than any previous race,” Mock said. Finishing third at section for the boys’ team was Brenic Beggs in 18:45.71. He was usually the Wolves’ No. 5 runner,

Mock said. Sean Gillespe and Marcos Cordova rounded out the top five. For the girls, Victoria Vasquez earned second-team all-section honors with an 11th place finish in 21:15.08. Vasquez won the district meet, and several multiple meets throughout the year. Nicole Meeden was 17th at section in 22:24.17. She was the champion of the open race at the Glendale Showcase. Clara Portillo, Beschet Pacheco and Aylea Jasken rounded out the Lady Wolves’ top five at the section meet. “This girls team is so young, they’re all freshman and sophomores, but they’ve come so far this season,” Mock said. “I think in two years, when these girls are juniors and seniors, if they stick with it, they’ll be a force to be reckoned with.” Mock said this season was very enjoyable to coach because of the connections the athletes made with each other. “Running is hard, it’s a tough sport and it’s very, very mental, and it helped that the kids genuinely seemed to like each other,” Mock said. “They genuinely wanted each other to do well.”

In the 4A Southwest Region, Youngker Cluff said. “In normal fashion, those and Estrella Foothills each had winning are the games kids kind of give up on. This team fought and records, but both found fought. That helps me live themselves outside of the FOOTBALL with the one-point losses, playoff picture.

Estrella Foothills missed the He’s proud of the way his team battled all year in the face of adversity. playoffs, but finished 6-4 under coach

Derek Wahlstrom in his first year with the program. “I’m pleased with where we ended up considering how everything was thrown together so quickly and so late,” Wahlstrom said. Wahlstrom was not hired until May when Lamar Early left to go to Millennium. “Our guys really came together,” Wahlstrom said. “Five months ago, we met with our team and we had 28 players, freshman through seniors. To finish the season 6-4 going into week 10 with a chance to win the region title, it was an excellent first year and I’m very blessed to have been part of this group.” Estrella lost to Buckeye 66-39 on October 27 in the final game of the season. A win would have meant a three-way tie for the 4A Southwest Region title, which would have included Youngker. “We had a hard time stopping that very potent offense, so we kind of pressed a little bit,” Wahlstrom said. “A turnover late in the first half kind of got to us. We tried a gadget play, they got

some penetration and caused a fumble. That was kind of the turning point.” In the 2A Central Region, Tonopah Valley missed an opportunity to win the region title on the final day of the regular season, falling 32-24 to Surprise Paradise Honors. Had the Phoenix won, it would have tied with Kingman Academy for the top spot in the region, and won the tiebreaker by beating Kingman Academy October 13. Instead, Tonopah fell just short. “We were a very much bend, don’t break defense (October 27 against Paradise Honors),” said Tonopah coach Dustin Johnson. “They’d get a good drive on us and then we’d stop them, but give our offense a lot of field to work with. They did a great job planning for (running back) Angelo Anderson. You could tell that was their No. 1 priority, and they did a good job doing it. He’s an outstanding athlete and they knew they needed to stop him to try to stiﬂe our offense.” Tonopah finished 5-4, a season after going 5-5. Improving this year is

something Johnson wants to build on, he said. “Our team really came together,” Johnson said. “Even players who came from different schools that had moved in, things like that, they said they had never been a part of anything like what we have. We really truly have a family and brotherhood that our players are a part of.” In the 6A Southwest Region, Tolleson finished 5-5, while Millennium was 4-6 and La Joya was 2-8. Tolleson, however, battled through multiple injuries this season. “It was kind of a crazy year,” said Tolleson coach Jason Wilke. “We had 10 games. We had 10 different offensive lines. I’ve never been a part of something like that. The kids hung in there and battled their tails off.” The Wolverines opened the season with a 31-28 loss to Phoenix Sandra Day O’Connor on a last-second field goal. “That’s always tough to rebound when you start the season with a devastating loss like that, but our kids hung in there. We had some seniors step up. The kids were resilient.” It was the second straight season in which Tolleson finished with a .500 record. Wilke plans to start the offseason soon, he said.

“That’s where championships are won,” Wilke said. “I did a little research and I believe it’s been since 1983 that Tolleson won a region championship. We have a lot of guys returning and an above-average JV team. We had nine underclassmen start on both sides of the ball (in the last game)—so we’re excited about that. We just have to take it one more notch in the offseason, keep preparing and see what happens.” Millennium’s record could have looked much different, but the Tigers lost three games by a field goal, and another by one point. Still, Early said his team improved during the season, and finished the year with a 40-0 win over Surprise Valley Vista. “That’s the one thing I can say, from day one to the end, we got better,” Early said. “On (October 27) it was nice to see them put a complete game together. That’s what we’ve been talking about, playing 48 minutes, and Friday night they played 48 minutes. That’s why we got the result we got.” This year was Early’s first at Millennium, and he’s excited about the future, he said. “We have a good group of young guys who are still in the program,” Early said. “It’s going to be fun.” La Joya’s closest loss was by 17

points, but coach Josh Mitchell said his team was competitive in every game. “We were in every game,” Mitchell said. “We just were not able to make enough plays to come out with the win on every game. I thought as a group, we got better as the season went on, and we never quit.” The Lobos’ senior class was the smallest Mitchell has had at La Joya. Only five players had experience, which led to growing pains.

Jeannie Enders wins Outstanding Toastmaster By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski Jeannie Enders wishes she would have discovered Toastmasters International as a young adult. “I would have been much further in my career,” Enders said. “I would have also given Hillary a run for her money come election time.” Recently retired, Enders recalled being told her delivery didn’t suffice. She longed to improve that, so she joined Toastmasters in 2009. She must have made her mark. After winning numerous awards with the organization, Enders was named Outstanding Toastmaster of the Year for her district. “It was quite an honor to receive it from the district; nearly the whole state of Arizona,” Enders said. “This is a big honor for the district to win something this coveted.” Toastmasters International operates clubs worldwide to help members improve their communication, public speaking and leadership skills. Its mission is to empower individuals to

become more effective communicators and leaders. Enders is a member of Northwest Speakers Toastmasters, which was founded in 2016. Its members stress improved communication skills result in greater self-confidence and personal growth. A Michigan native, Enders has served as chairwoman for a plethora of committees, and has sponsored 10 members. “Without the meetings, I don’t know where I would be,” she said with a laugh. Her passion is working with students, however, and the Youth Leadership Program. “The Youth Leadership Program should be in every high school and junior high level,” she said. “It’s a great program for the youth to learn how to have great communication skills. In this day and age of computers and phones, we need to stress the importance of good grammar and good

communication skills.” Through the program, kids learn to accept criticism—good or bad—and apply it to their delivery or leadership skills. “It’s a great program that I am truly honored to chair,” she said. “‘I joined for me. I stay for others.’ That is the motto through and through. When you become a Toastmaster, it’s wonderful to see people succeed. That’s the best

mantra you can have for Toastmasters.” Northwest Speakers Toastmasters Club No. 4318 Meets from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. the second and fourth Thursdays Peoria Public Library, 8643 W. Monroe Street, Peoria For information about this club, or others in the West Valley, visit toastmasters.org

Actor ready to start drivers’ engines at PIR

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski Mexican actor Jaime Camil admitted he was a little jealous when his friend was asked to be the grand marshal of a NASCAR event in California. So, the Golden Globe nominee was thrilled when Phoenix International Raceway invited him to lead the charge for its Can-Am 5000 semifinal race in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series on Sunday, November 12. “I am really excited to say the most famous words in motorsports,” the effervescent Camil said. “I’ve become such a fan over the years and being able to take part in the NASCAR Playoffs is going to be an amazing experience.” Camil, who stars as Rogelio de la Vega on CW’s Jane the Virgin, explained NASCAR is an organization he respects because it treats its fans well.

“I don’t think I’ve worked with an organization that is so devoted to their fans,” Camil said. “It’s so cool.” In preparation for his famous line— “Gentlemen, start your engines!”—Camil has been studying NASCAR history. “I think what NASCAR is doing, their efforts in bringing the sport more diversity and more inclusion is amazing,” he said. “You would think NASCAR appeals to a certain demographic. I love what they’re doing. They’re very aware about what’s happening in this country and the diversity that makes this country so great. “They’re including more people in the sport. We have to thank them for that.” There’s more to Camil than Jane the Virgin. Previously, he spent 20 years in Mexico as a TV host, actor and singer. He has several platinum albums, and

two of his singles landed in the Top 25 on the Billboard charts. He voices the character Mo for the toy Osmo, and later this month he can be heard as Papá in the Disney/Pixar animated movie Coco. “The movie has broken records in Mexico,” he said. “It’s beautiful. It’s so special for so many reasons. “It touches the Dia de los Muertos, which is so important for Mexico and the Mexican culture. They did such an amazing job in really getting the facts right. “Then, to be a permanent part of Pixar’s history is incredible. This movie will never die. Pixar movies never go away. It’s incredibly humbling.” Tickets to all events throughout the Can-Am 500 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series weekend, Friday, November 10, to Sunday, November 12,

Beer festival to benefit Luke AFB programs

By Dave Clark

The West Valley’s original beer festival – Red, White and Brew – will unite local and national breweries so they can show off new releases and classic favorites from 2 to 6 p.m. Saturday, November 18, at Ground Control in Litchfield Park. Red, White and Brew has many beers from which to choose, but is small enough that attendees can interact with brewery representatives. “It’s a great environment to start to learn about craft beer or to meet other beer geeks who share your passion,” said Ground Control’s event manager Ian Harwell. Variety will be on tap at this festival, as it offers beers, ciders and meads from more than 30 participants. On the beer side, Tombstone, Dubina, 12 West, Borderlands, Huss, Peoria Artisan, State 48 and Wren House will represent Arizona, as national favorites like Lagunitas, Bell’s, Ballast Point, Left Hand and Mike Hess will be available, too. Superstition Meadery will have its award-winning mead samples. Mesa’s Cider Corps will

serve those who prefer nonbeer alternatives. All proceeds benefit Fighter Country Foundation, a nonprofit that supports programs and services at Luke Air Force Base. “The event has grown every year and is a fun, well-run fundraising event,” said Tara Rassas, Ground Control’s owner. “This is a great community event that brings everyone together for a great cause. You can have samples of goes better with a great beer than live a variety of beers or if you find Nothing entertainment.

Tonopah Valley Chinese teacher learning a lesson, too By Connor Dziawura When Tonopah Valley High School’s new Mandarin Chinese teacher, Wang Jian, arrived in August, he had one goal in mind: improving his English. “I have been teaching English (in China) for more than 10 years, and I didn’t think that I had talked in English enough,” Wang said. In the Chinese culture, the surname is listed first. “I wanted a chance where I can practice. I wanted to use my English more than I was.” Wang is teaching at Tonopah Valley thanks to a grant received from the Teachers of Critical Languages Program, which is conducted by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and the U.S. Department of State. “Basically, we are focusing on speaking and using the language,” Wang said of the class. “This is their first year of learning this language, and I guess to most of them, this is their first foreign language.” So far, the experience has allowed Wang to weigh the educational systems in China and the United States. Here, the class sizes are smaller and there is

more freedom, which gives him a new angle. He is determined to create an interactive and engaging course for his Tonopah Valley students. “For them to learn this foreign language better, I have them talk more (and) do more hands-on activities so that they don’t get bored,” Wang explained while students worked on an assignment about vegetables. Wang taught his students the names of basic vegetables by having them repeat the vocabulary after him while looking at visual cues on the projector. “Potato” is “tu dou,” “onion” is “yang cong” and “carrot” is “huo luo bo.” But that day’s lecture is just one example of the curriculum’s structure, with each week having a different focus. Fruits, occupations and colors are other recent lessons. “I have to admit that I enjoy teaching Chinese here more than I was teaching English, because I’m doing this job more engagingly,” Wang said. “That’s not just a good thing for the students. That can be a good thing for me. We are coming up with new ideas, new

program the following year. “Our idea is to have it sustained,” Tighe said. “We don’t want kids to start learning Chinese and then stop. We have full intent to apply for renewal for year two.” This semester, Wang is teaching two sections of Mandarin 1. Next spring, Wang will teach one section of Mandarin 1, and one of Mandarin 2 for the students who wish to continue. As part of Wang’s stay in the country, however, he also provides outreach to the nearby Tartesso and Ruth Fisher elementary schools, where he provides weekly lessons on Chinese culture. Recently, he taught students how to use chopsticks. “That’s another kind of experience. I’m learning how to be a good teacher over here (Tonopah Valley High School), how to teach the classes more creatively,” Wang said. “In those two elementary schools, I’m learning how to be a good presenter, I guess, of a culture.” By giving these youngsters fun activities rooted in Chinese culture, he hopes to instill a sense of wonder. “Maybe I will keep them curious about this culture or the language and that will push them to learn this language someday when they have the chance,” he said. Although Wang is enjoying his time in Arizona, he admitted he gets homesick. The feeling is motivating him to learn new tasks, however, like cooking and swimming. “If you look back on the days that I have had since I came to America, this whole experience has taught me so much,” Wang said. “If I were not in this program, if I were not working in this school, if I were not living for such a long time in America, I would never think about making the changes.” And although he has plenty of students gearing up to take his courses through next spring, he still finds himself, a 20-plus year English speaker, interested in improving his own skills with the language. “Although I’m an English teacher, I will always be an English learner,” he said. Wang is just thankful to even get the experience. “I do thank this program,” he said. “I feel grateful for my life and work here. This life and work don’t just help me through the periods when I was missing my family or my Chinese life; they will help me through the rest of my life as long as I will be a teacher.”

Veterans take center stage at area schools By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

Area schools will show students what Veterans Day truly means by hosting ceremonies honoring soldiers. Here are two of the celebrations. Rancho Santa Fe Elementary School is taking it a step further and including first responders during its Thursday, November 9, celebration. The second annual event starts at 7:10 a.m. when the honorees will line Rancho Santa Fe Boulevard as children arrive at the Avondale school. A Freedom Walk is scheduled for 7:40 a.m., followed by an 8 a.m. flagraising ceremony and short program on the front lawn. Refreshments will be served after the program, which is open to the public. “It’s our way of giving back to our first responders and our veterans,” said Principal Laura Combs, who brought the program to the school when she arrived from Deer Valley. “It’s not a huge deal, but it’s really fun. We’re letting the kids know that even though they have the next day off, there’s a reason why they do.

OBITUARIES

Alice Mae “Penny“ Etchart

“Penny”, 86 of Litchfield Park, Az, passed away on October 24, 2017. She was born August 24, 1931 in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania to William and Alice Currie. As a child, Penny (nicknamed for her bright red hair), moved with her family to Ontario California. It was there that she met her future husband, Ferdinand. In 1960, the couple moved their growing family to Arizona and settled in Litchfield Park. With the support of his wife, Ferdinand established Everkrisp Vegetables (located in Tolleson). Today the company is run by their sons, daughter, grandsons, and granddaughter. Penny was a talented painter of florals and desert landscapes. She showcased her artwork in the ’70’s and 80’s on the walls of the historic Wigwam hotel and sold paintings to guests from around the world. An avid traveler of the world, Penny’s destinations included China and Peru. But her favorite place to visit was London, England and the surrounding countryside. Penny loved to sing and for years performed as a soloist at her church as well as singing with the west-side chorale group, the CAS-Illons. A naturally happy person, at home Penny was always humming or singing a tune. She loved people and possessed the “gift” of gab. But above everything else, Penny prized family and throughout her life continued to hold dinners in her home to bring together her boisterous clan in joyful gatherings. Penny was preceded in death by her husband, Ferdinand Jean Etchart. She is survived by daughter Alicia (Sammy) Patterson; sons, Mathieu (Nancy), Martin, Michael (Sue), and Miles (Betsy); grandchildren, Abigail (Andrew) Fraser, Andrew (Sophie) Etchart, Michael Etchart, Samantha Etchart, Katie Etchart, Maggie Etchart, Emilie Etchart, Ginger Patterson, Caleb Patterson, Malcolm Etchart, and Griffin Etchart; great grandchildren Frances Fraser, Theodore Fraser, and Cody Etchart.
