The art of hunting Goodyear farm uses birds of prey to remove pests by Kourtney Balsan special to the View

Falcons take flight in the friendly skies at Duncan Family Farms in Goodyear, where falconer Kalen Pearson was hired to rid the farm of crop-destroying birds. “The art of falconry is the art of hunting with a bird of prey,” she said. Pearson, 25, is a falconer at Falcon Force, based throughout the West Coast, and specializes in falconry-based bird abatement. Her goal is not for the falcons to kill the nuisance birds, but instead to scare them off, she said. “Out here at Duncan Family Farms, I’ve been flying my falcons over the leafy greens. They’ve got kale and chard and spring mix and they have a lot of organic produce that grows here, so my job is to fly my falcons to keep all the pesky birds out,” Pearson said. “They’re simulating hunting out there, which scares all of those birds that are sitting out there, so they don’t want to be anywhere near a stooping falcon, so they take off for the high road.” The falcons’ results have been excellent, as the birds can go places where others cannot, said Jeremy Vanderzyl, Duncan Family Farms technical services manager. “Our experience with Falcon Force exceeded our expectations. They are extremely professional and we, in turn, learned a lot about ornithology and the benefits of using this program,” Vanderzyl said. “The most common form of bird abatement is to have our employees walk the fields to discourage birds from eating our seed. We reached out to Falcon Force because a single falcon can cover a large area effectively

and efficiently, and they are successful with bird abatement even after irrigating, when we cannot get in to walk the fields.” Falcons were chosen over any other method to keep the farm environmentally green and because their results are stunning, Pearson said, adding that Falcon Force is trying to get behind the sustainable path agriculture is moving toward to eliminate any kind of carbon footprint that may hurt the planet. “Falcon Force is green, sustainable, organic, it’s natural, it’s 100 percent guaranteed. I mean how can it not be? It’s a bio-dynamic relationship of predator and prey that is biologically ingrained in these animals for it to function this way,” Pearson said. “You’re never going to find another way to get rid of these pests with this kind of guarantee. The more we can be a part of the West Valley and Arizona’s local community of agriculture in general, well we would love to be a part of it.” Even though Pearson calls Wyoming home, she lives in a trailer on site at Duncan Family Farms that she is able to transport around to other jobs. She has 13 falcons, out of Falcon Force’s total of 45 birds, kept in a large caged area along with two dogs behind her living space. The dogs don’t gobble the birds they share a cage with, because they consider the falcons part of their pack since they both work together to scare birds away from the fields, Pearson said. One falcon named Cheeto was hand-raised and is caged inside Pearson’s trailer because he needs company, and will whine loudly without it, she said. “I live right out here on the farm, which allows

me to be more accessible,” Pearson said. “We get up before the sun gets up — it’s pitch black. I’m usually weighing birds, putting them on the scale, then cutting up meat for their rations. Hopefully, riding into the fields, the sun starts to turn red.” In the fields, Pearson flies one bird at a time. Her days consist of falcon calls, which sound like a yip, and swinging her lure, a long rope with tennis balls and feathers on each end to lure the falcon into following its direction and eventually latching on to end the day. “It’s almost like a martial art,” Pearson said. “These birds can top over 280 miles an hour, so it can be a workout to pull that lure away along with timing. When you do pull it out of the way, they’re trained to remount up again and come back down again and again. The final time, you give them the cue and then they know to grab the lure, that this is the end. Then you pick them up off the lure.” When it comes to training, falcons aren’t much different than dogs or horses, and learn similar to children with different learning languages, Pearson said. “How do you teach a falcon? Just like you would kids, your husband, your dog,” she said. “They’re really incredibly smart and they learn so very quickly. We could have a bird from first training to free flying in 10 to 12 days.” Pearson describes trained falcons as Olympic athletes. “For these guys, we want to hunt all day long with minimal reward during the day and big reward at the end of the day where your hunting birds are one and done,” she said. “These guys are Olympic athletes. The others are still (See Hunting on Page 2)

Hunting (From Page 1) athletes, but they only do one shot.” As it is common with other careers relying on animals, falconry has a heavy dose of misconceptions, Pearson said. “It is mostly from animal activists who have taken it in the wrong light that we are keeping these birds against their will and forcing them into doing things they don’t want to do,” she said. “The reality is, [the falcons] can fend for themselves and take off whenever they want. We offer them the opportunity and they don’t always come back. That’s not a common occurrence, but sometimes, they do end up taking off and there’s not a whole lot you can really do about that. We’ve got GPS trackers on them that we are able to track them down, but for the most part you never know. You’re just throwing them into oblivion.”

Although this is Pearson’s first time flying her falcons in the West Valley, she said she enjoys it here as the weather is perfect and the type of birds she is abating helps her expand her knowledge and experience. “I love the West Valley. Of all the contracts we’ve done, this is probably my absolute favorite for so many reasons,” she said. “This has been absolutely wonderful and my birds are so loving the weather here.” Pearson didn’t grow up flying falcons, but trained horses, which led her to work with exotic animals such as cougars, wolves, zebras and camels, she said. “I worked with those animals for a number of years before we got in touch with a local falconer,” Pearson said. “We called him for like two full weeks, he never answered his phone. Finally, his wife answered the phone and asked, ‘What’s up?’ because I’m really bugging them at this point.” Her first day as a falconer, Pearson practiced abatement to get rid of the birds, and has continued the practice ever since at farms, airports and resorts, along with performing with the falcons for the past six years, she said. “Flying falcons, there’s something magical about letting a bird go,” she said.

An Avondale man was arrested Dec. 27 after allegedly stabbing his mother to death in their home near Avondale Boulevard and Durango Street in Avondale, officials said. Officers responded to the house at about 8 a.m. and found Linda Willis, 60, dead from apparent stab wounds, said Officer Jaret Redfearn, a spokesman with the Avondale Police Department. Her son, Bronson Harvel, 31, was also found inside, and police learned that an argument had allegedly occurred between them before the stabbing, Redfearn said. Harvel allegedly called 911 to report stabbing his mother to death, and surrendered to responding officers without incident, court records state. While in custody, Harvel allegedly told officers he

is a paranoid schizophrenic and has daily outbursts, often arguing with voices inside his head, records state. He allegedly reported having an outburst that morning, and said his mother walked into his room three times to tell him to take his medications, records state. He also believed Willis had taken his iPad and went into her room to ask for it back and request breakfast, records state. When Willis refused to give back the iPad unless he took his Bronson Harvel medications, Harvel allegedly got upset and tried to knock her unconscious with a frying pan, records state. After allegedly hitting her 10 times, he realized it wasn’t working and retrieved a knife from the kitchen, records state. Willis reportedly closed the bedroom door and tried to call 911, but Harvel allegedly forced his way in.

She used pepper spray on him, but he knocked the can and phone away, and started stabbing her, records state. Harvel allegedly used three knives to stab his mother, as the first two broke, records state. Willis was found on the floor in the master bedroom and was pronounced dead at the scene, records state. Police reported signs of a struggle, including a television that was knocked over and a shower curtain in the master bathroom that had been ripped off the wall, records state. Avondale police also responded to the home Dec. 8 for a non-criminal incident, and a crisis team provided assistance to Harvel, Redfearn said. Harvel faces one count of second-degree murder and one count of preventing the use of a telephone in an emergency, Redfearn said.

Goodyear hospital offers new stent technology Abrazo West Campus implanting absorbable stents by Glenn Gullickson staff writer

View photo by Jordan Christopher

A TRADITIONAL METAL STENT is shown Nov. 21 next to a newly developed absorbable stent, which is being implemented at Abrazo West Campus in Goodyear. The hospital is among the first in the Valley to use the new stent, which is similar to dissolving sutures.

People in the West Valley who need a stent to open a blocked artery have a new option in fighting heart disease, the leading cause of death among men and women. Abrazo West Campus in Goodyear is among the first hospitals in the Valley where doctors are installing a new version of stents that are absorbable, similar to dissolving sutures. Dr. Riyaz Sumar, director of the cardiac cath lab at Abrazo West Campus, implanted the first dissolvable stents at the hospital in seven patients during the week of Nov. 14. Sumar said the availability of the procedure at Abrazo West Campus is proof that new technologies are “not exclusive to the Cleveland Clinics and Mayo Clinics of the world.” Stan Holm, CEO of Abrazo West Campus, said providing the dissolvable stents is part of the hospital’s focus of providing care close to home for West Valley patients. “Our cath team has been recognized as one of the best in metropolitan Phoenix, Holm said. “Patients recognize

when an organization is advancing care.” Developed by Abbott Vascular, dissolvable stents were approved in July by the Food and Drug Administration after clinical trials. The device is available in more than 100 countries and has been used to treat more than 150,000 patients around the world, according to information provided by the hospital. In the Valley, dissolvable stents were first used at HonorHealth in Scottsdale and are also available at Abrazo’s Arrowhead Campus in Glendale and Arizona Heart Hospital in Phoenix. Dissolvable stents are the latest in a series of developments that started with the introduction of stents in 1988, Sumar said. The first stent implanted in the U.S. in 1993 was made of metal with a scaffolding design, but it carried risks of blood clots and inflammation, he said. In the late 1990s, risks were reduced with the introduction of a stent that was coated with medication, Sumar said. Over the years, “the procedure has become much more (See Technology on Page 5)

sophisticated,â&#x20AC;? he said. But some patients resisted the idea of placing a foreign object in their body, Sumar said. He described reactions as â&#x20AC;&#x153;something like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not too sure.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? With the new stents, the metal is replaced by a polymer material, which dissolves in two to three years. The artery remains open after the stent dissolves, allowing it to pulse and flex naturally, Sumar said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The risk of blockage coming back is small,â&#x20AC;? he said. After dissolving, the stents leave metal markers to show where they were placed in case doctors are considering further treatment. The dissolvable stents make it easier to do a bypass in the area, Sumar said. Coronary artery disease affects an estimated 15 million Americans, with a build up of plaque in the arteries that restricts the flow of blood to the heart. Holm said the Goodyear hospital does about 1,500 stent procedures a year. Scott Cook, who led the effort to bring dissolvable stents to Abrazo West Campus as the manager of the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cardiac cath lab, said patients from as far away as the California border will go to the hospital for the procedure. Any stent patient could be a candidate for the dissolvable stents, Sumar said, but he predicted that the traditional stents will continue to be used in most of the operations. He said the dissolvable stents â&#x20AC;&#x153;will have a roleâ&#x20AC;? in the future, and more surgeons at the hospital are training to perform the procedure. Sumar said the technique for the new stents is similar to the traditional stents, and recovery times are the same, with most patients staying in the hospital over night for observation after the surgery. About 70 percent of stents are placed using balloon angioplasty through an incision in the wrist, with some done through the groin, Sumar said. The cost of dissolvable stents is slightly higher than traditional stents, but Carmeron Johnston, coronary clinical specialist for Abbot Vascular, said the company is working to make the stents cost neutral for patients and insurance. Sumar said stent patients commonly are at least 60 to 65 years old, although he noted some patients are younger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shocking the amount of younger people with heart disease,â&#x20AC;? including those in their late 20s, Sumar said. Even with advancements in treating heart disease, Sumar noted patients still have to have healthy habits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If there is no lifestyle modification, these treatments are useless,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Buckeye Police Department earns CALEA accreditation View report

The Buckeye Police Department was formally presented with its accreditation award Nov. 5 from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies. The organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission is to accredit public safety agencies who are found to be in compliance with an established set of professional standards and consistently demonstrate excellence in their policies, procedures and practices. In June, two CALEA representatives spent four days in Buckeye inspecting the police department, reviewing files, interacting with employees, speaking to citizens, riding along with officers on patrol and holding a public information session to determine if the department met the requirements of a highly regarded body of law enforcement. The department met 100 percent of the applicable standards, and the assessment team said it was especially impressed with the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crime fighting efforts and providing a positive relationship with the community. The police department will maintain its accreditation status until November 2020.

Welcome to the first Business Briefcase of 2017. I trust everyone had a fantastic New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and stayed safe. For me, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usually celebrating in a private residence with a few friends. Lines for the restroom are much shorter that way. By the time you, Briefcase reader, pour your eyes over this column, New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will be long gone, but thanks to the wonky holiday schedule, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m writing it a few days in advance. Such is the magic of the written word. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll start the new year with a business that may help those who made health-related resolutions. Shane McOwen West Valley Nutrition is alive and kicking in Goodyear at 13370 W. Van Buren St. West Valley Nutrition offers a full-service cafĂŠ, such as many seen around the Valley, state and country, but with a focus on products with high nutritional value. What makes West Valley Nutrition a little different than other cafes or supplement shops are the free community service events. The shop offers a sort of nutrition club, where people can meet and take part in nutrition classes, fit camps and wellness coaching, all for free. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All you ever pay for is what you consume that day [at the cafĂŠ],â&#x20AC;? co-owner Michael Doerr said. West Valley Nutrition offers an opportunity for people to walk right in and get started, Doerr said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like if, ands or buts,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sugarcoat it.â&#x20AC;?

West Valley Nutrition seeks to create one-on-one wellness coaching, helping folks reach individual goals to meet their specific needs. The business was actually started because of an opening in the Phoenix areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market share, Doerr said. While out of state, Doerr was trying to connect a client to a nutrition club in Phoenix and noticed there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anywhere he could set his friend up. One thing led to another, and West Valley Nutrition was born to serve the Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs out of Goodyear, he said. West Valley Nutrition is open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. For information, visit facebook.com/zianutrition. In Avondale, J-Walters Construction has confirmed that Party City and Boot Barn will be coming to the Gateway Village shopping center, next to Hobby Lobby near 101st Avenue and McDowell Road. The construction is in the preliminary stages â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the area is fenced off, but no foundation has been laid. Party City sells, you guessed it, themed, birthday and seasonal party supplies. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a big place to hit up Halloween costumes when that season comes around. This will be the second Boot Barn in the West Valley, with the first in Goodyear at 15389 W. McDowell Road. Boot Barn is another retail store thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name is pretty self-evident in what it offers: boots. The store does sell an array of clothing, such as jeans and hats. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all for this week, everyone. Happy New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s! I wish the best to all Briefcase readers for 2017. Send questions or comments to smcowen@ westvalleyview.com. Take care, folks, and be well.

DAY’S OPINION — CagleCartoons.com

EDITORIAL

Here come the W2s, and your chance to help public schools Welcome to 2017. Soon, credit card bills from all those Christmas presents we couldn’t afford will be catching up to us, New Year’s resolutions will undoubtedly be broken and W2s will show up on our doorsteps. Just when we’re finally taking a breath from all the holiday hullabaloo, we’ve been tasked with another task — filing our income tax returns. Some of us look forward to it. You know who you are, those of you who elect to loan the government your money throughout the year so it can pay you back with zero interest the following year and call it a refund. Some of us don’t look forward to it. You know who you are, you’ve either elected to pay less than you know you should be paying in taxes throughout the year and will surely be looking at a tax bill, or you’re hopeful that you’ve elected to pay the magical amount, which would end in a wash, but in your heart, you know better. But we’ve got some great news for those of you who fall into Category 2. You can still donate to the public school of your choice, in the extra curriculum and/or character education program of your choice, right up until April 18, the deadline to file your income tax return this year. So you can figure out how much you will owe, make a donation that will offset that amount (up to $200 for individuals and $400 for couples who file jointly) and then file your tax return. That’s right, folks, it’s a tax credit, not a deduction, which means every dollar you donate will be subtracted from what you owe in taxes. And here’s a little something you might not have known — you can earmark the donation for your own child and still take the tax credit. So say your daughter wants to join the marching band but you can’t afford the uniform or your son wants to join the football team but the pads are just too pricey, you can specify that your donation goes to your daughter’s band uniform or your son’s football pads. Also qualifying for the tax credit are donations for standardized testing for college credit or readiness, career and technical education industry certification assessment, preparation courses and materials for standardized testing and cardiopulmonary resuscitation training. The Arizona Department of Revenue explains which activities and programs qualify for the school tax credit at www.azdor.gov (click on “Tax Credits on the left side of the page and then on “Public School Tax Credit”). We say this every year, but wouldn’t you rather be the one who dictates where your tax money goes instead of just handing it over to the government and letting those jokers decide?

etters to the editor are published without any editing. Any errors in spelling, punctuation or grammar are those of the author. Two online reader polls have indicated that a majority of View readers prefer that the letters not be edited.

Re: Medal for Trump Editor: Respectfully suggest readers who contribute here check their facts first. Rosa Parks did NOT PRESENT a MEDAL to TRUMP. The Ellis Island MEDAL thing was a boondoggle. (Too much for here) The comment about Clinton saying Sen Byrd was her mentor was part of a commemoration after his death. What should she have said? If you were to research it, you would find that while Sen Byrd was a KKK member in his youth , he spent the majority of his life publicly disavowing and repeatedly apologizing for his early KKK affiliation. Karen Peters Goodyear

Democrats’ turn Hats off to for depression protesters Editor: For the past 8 years, with Washington led by the BO team, it’s now time for you liberals to live with the “DT”s. At long last your turn to be depressed. Ken Semmler Goodyear

Worst man for the job Editor: I have searched for a name, a term for the incoming administration of the Donald. I think I have found it, matter of fact, I am sure I have found it and it is so appropriate. For now and evermore the administration of Donald Trump will be know as a KAKISTOCRACY. A more apropos name for his form of governing is not available.

Editor: My hat is off to those Rockettes who are protesting participation in the presidential inauguration celebrations. This represents a clash of professionalism vs. personal integrity, and for these protesters, personal integrity won out. I’ve been a lifelong musician and Democrat. As a professional musician, I’ve played many a Republican function: Lincoln Club dinner dances, fundraisers, etc. I’ve even furnished a string quartet at a private reception for Vice President Quayle. But you could offer me a thousand dollars and I would not help celebrate the presidency of this rabblerousing, sexist, boorish excuse for a leader. Steve Berliner Buckeye

 GUEST COMMENTARY

by Angelica Flanagin Licensed associate counselor

In relationships, as in life, there are great moments and there are moments that prompt pain. Part of living is losing — jobs, friends, family, pets, money, houses, boyfriends, girlfriends, marriages, etc. One of the most interesting things I have ever learned Angelica about is how Flanagin living things grieve. I believe that anything that can form an emotional bond grieves. An entire group of people can experience the same loss and react to it completely different. That is normal. We all move through this so personally, I hold the process to be sacred and individual. The key word is “move” though; when the grieving process goes awry, it can really go awry. According to Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, there are five stages of grief — Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance. Denial is typically the first stage of grieving. You don’t want to see it or feel it, so you don’t. It’s your human way to be able to survive the loss. This is where you may feel nothing or numb. This is also where you don’t see what is right in front of you. If it’s not there, it can’t hurt you. It does not exist. Nothing to see over here, everything is A-OK. Our human brain’s first and most important priority is to keep us alive. If there is something that is too overwhelming to process when it happens, our brain protects us from it. It may disconnect from what is happening to a certain degree. Denial is a way to disconnect from the immediate impact of the blow. You may hang out in denial for a while. Looking back, you can see it, but when you are in denial, you have no conscious grasp that you are swimming in it. Anger is not a bad word. It is a very normal human emotion. It’s what you do with anger that can be labeled healthy or unhealthy (as with

every emotion, really). It’s OK to feel angry about what’s happened. You may be angry at others, at yourself, at God, or the world and everything in it. If you hurt people, yourself, or are self destructive, then you are not moving through it in a healthy way (again, as with any emotion). When anger sets in, you know you are navigating out of the denial stage because you are now feeling something. I have heard it said that anger is the easiest emotion to pull forward compared to other emotions when we are in distress. Bargaining is when you try to find a way to go back to what life used to be before the pain. This is where you think a lot of “what ifs” and “if only.” The shoulda-coulda-woulda self talk. This is where you beg to whoever and whatever to come back, to take the pain away, to go back in time, or for a chance to un-do. Depression typically hits when you realize there is no undoing what has happened. Depression is not just feeling sad, it is deep pain. We may want to not move off the couch or the bed (or the floor). Basic things such as eating, sleeping, and showering feel incredibly energy draining and impossible. You may cry a lot (or a little) or when you don’t expect to cry. You may feel pain in your chest or anywhere in your body. You may get

headaches. It may hit you in waves. Acceptance does not mean that you come to an emotional place where you are OK with what happened. It means that you have found your new normal. It doesn’t mean that you deny what’s happened or that you are now somehow OK with your loss. It means that you are in a place where you’ve moved through enough emotional processing where you can see the situation that occurred from a place of acknowledging that it happened, that it hurt and sucked, and that there is a possibility of continuing to live. It doesn’t mean that you have it all figured out, or that you are never going to feel the pull of the loss. I picture it as the moment you get off the floor, put one foot in front of the other and start walking again on a newly formed path in the same life that you are living. You don’t necessarily move through the stages in a straight line, it is normal to move from one to another as you happen to be moving through them. You may be in anger and depression at the same time; you may feel like you are in acceptance and then when you don’t expect it, you feel the pull of that original pain because of a smell, seeing something or someone, a memory or anything that triggers

your grief. You may stay in that triggered place for moments or days. There is no set time to move through them, and there are no rules. Some people become stuck in one or another. This topic is so much a part of the human condition, and emotionally heavy that we may forget what possible good can come from such a dark place. In my personal experience with grief and loss, of all kinds, I can say one thing with all certainty. Despite the pain, I grew into a different version of myself. I have learned to allow myself to feel whatever comes up as I move through grief and loss. If I try to stuff it, numb it, or dismiss it, it doesn’t mean it goes away, it means it will probably come out sideways. You know what I mean by that. I mean that it will come out in a way that I don’t expect and most likely in a way that I never wanted it to come out. If not processed in a healthy way, with support from healthy people, grief and loss can get stuck. Once I move through the stages, I feel stronger. I learn about my own resilience and my power, and of the gift of the present. Angelica Flanagin is a licensed associate counselor at Arizona Blue Sky Counseling in Phoenix.

Inside Sports: La Joya and Tolleson girls go winless at AZ Soccer Showcase; Scorpions go 1-2 in tourney

Knights top Wolves to win Scorpion Challenge Brenden Van Dyke’s 37 points pave way for Westview by Casey Pritchard sports editor

Estrella Foothills and Westview battled tooth and nail in the championship game of the Scorpion Challenge at Desert Edge High School Dec. 29, but the Knights’ Brenden Van Dyke was the difference maker in helping them claim the title. Van Dyke scored a career high BOYS 37 points as BASKETBALL Westview pulled away in the fourth quarter for a 72-65 victory. “We had a really tough time in the first half getting easy looks,” Westview coach Brendan McEvoy said. “In the first half, all of Brenden’s points, while they were close to the basket, he really had to earn it. What you saw in the second half were easier looks because we were more patient offensively.” Van Dyke credited his teammates for helping with his performance. “I know there was a smaller kid on me, but it’s a team effort, everyone moving the ball around and getting me open, and it was my job to finish,” Van Dyke said. “I had to do what I had to do to help get the win.” (See Challenge on Page 11)

11 West Valley View, Avondale, Arizona, Wednesday, January 4, 2017

Challenge (From Page 10) Estrella tried some different tactics on Van Dyke, but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t slow him down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to front the post at the start, but later in the game he was scoring so often we decided to start digging in on him more and using a double team,â&#x20AC;? Estrella guard Ricky Robinson said. Despite giving up so many points to Van Dyke, Estrella coach Rich Gutwein thought his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort was outstanding, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought we made it difficult for him, we tried to front him, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just good,â&#x20AC;? Gutwein said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good player, got a lot of second efforts, but overall, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really pleased with the game. I thought we competed, did some really nice things, and certainly Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pleased with the week. We definitely got better.â&#x20AC;? Westviewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament also featured victories over Nogales, 58-51, and El Mirage Dysart, 52-34. The three victories raised the Knightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; record to 13-1. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This group has never felt like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to lose a game,â&#x20AC;? McEvoy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been up on a team, kept the throttle on the whole time, stepped on the necks, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique. For me, this is the first group that naturally has it; they do not let up. They never, ever think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to lose.â&#x20AC;? Against Estrella, Westview never led in the first quarter, but seized the advantage early in the second when Robert Hernandez scored four straight points to put the Knights on top 16-14. The lead seesawed back and forth, and Robinson made a layup at the second-quarter buzzer to tie the game at 30-30 heading into intermission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were getting lost on some switches,â&#x20AC;? McEvoy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They do a good job of screening, and even screening on switches can be effective if you slip the screen, meaning you almost fake the screen and know weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re switching, so the screener comes open. A couple times we had a couple guys going with the guy coming out, leaving the guy at the front open.â&#x20AC;? Estrella struck the first blow in the third quarter, sandwiching hoops by Sammy Harris and Robinson, then a 3-pointer from Grant Greabell, around a Christian Diaz basket, making it 37-32. However, with Estrella leading 42-39, Van Dyke scored seven straight points for Westview and the Knights ended the quarter on a 14-4 run, taking a 53-46 lead into the fourth period. Making an adjustment on screens was critical in slowing down the Wolvesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offense in the second half, McEvoy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All you have to do with that is keep your butt to the baseline and talk it out,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t doing a good job talking. We said, keep your rear end to the baseline, talk out the switches.â&#x20AC;?

Scoring leaders Despite Westviewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s improved second-half defense, Estrellaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Greabell still scored 29 points, which included making seven 3-pointers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grant is a great player, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to get his 25,â&#x20AC;? McEvoy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know he only had seven [points] the other night [Dec. 28 against Rio Rico] â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he kept taking the same shots, but he hit them against us. Four or five of those 3s, we had hands right in his face, and what are you going to do? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing you can do.â&#x20AC;? In addition to Greabellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 29 points, Robinson added 18. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He got us into our stuff, he scored, he was able to exploit on drives,â&#x20AC;?

McEvoy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big man with guard skills. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really unique player.â&#x20AC;?

Gutwein said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got to play a really solid team from Washington, see something new, a top-five team in the state in Rio Rico, and Westview is top six in 6A. So, it was great. It was exactly what I was hoping for out of this week â&#x20AC;&#x201D; obviously I would have liked to have won all three games â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but it was exactly what we needed going into a big week next week.â&#x20AC;?

first time McEvoy has won a tournament championship since he began coaching at Westview in 2013. He also did it with two of his key players out of the lineup. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We won our section my first year, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the trophy case, but this is the first championship game we have won, so it feels really good,â&#x20AC;? McEvoy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re 13-1, these guys are doing it without two of our key players, Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;maurian [Williams] being out, seeing his family, same thing with Ezra Phillips, who is in our first rotation off the bench. Two guys on vacation, and guys like Jacob Lofton and Christian Diaz stepped up in their place and really played their guts out.â&#x20AC;?

Semifinals wins Getting to the championship game was a bit tougher for Estrella than Westview. The Wolves had to fend off Rio Rico in overtime to make it there, getting contributions from everywhere. Greabell, who averages 23.3 points per game, was held (See Challenge on Page 13)

Tolleson Tolleson girls soccer was in every tournament game, but ended up on the short end of the result each day, finishing last in its group with three losses. The Lady Wolverines fell to Fountain Hills, 4-3, Maricopa, 3-2,

found our energy, our second life.” Arguably, the Lady Lobos’ best tournament performance came against Gilbert Higley in a 4-0 loss on the third and final day. La Joya went down early in the first half, but battled in the second and didn’t concede another goal. “If you look at the second half as its own half, it was 0-0,” Morris said. “We spent most of the time in their attacking half. We communicated and worked together much, much better. Anyone watching that half, I don’t think they would have known we were down.” La Joya will play in another tournament before the end of the winter break, beginning the Aztec Invitational against Glendale Apollo at Copper Canyon High School in Glendale Jan. 5.

to seven points on 1 of 17 shooting. Despite his scoring absence, six other Wolves contributed points, while Robinson and Harris had 20 apiece. “Sammy and Micah [Haught] played four incredible quarters, from their intensity and they played hard nosed basketball, and Sammy being able to score when the lid was on the basket for some of our guys,” Gutwein said. “He’s very capable of doing that, so it was great to see him step up.” Estrella trailed 16-3 in the first quarter, but managed to pull out of a deep hole. “It may sound odd, but I was fine on the bench; I felt we were OK,” Gutwein said. “I knew they were going to come with a lot of energy. We didn’t play great, but I thought if we could withstand that storm a little bit, we could work our way into it, and we did.” Estrella led by two points in the final minute of overtime and could have ran out the clock and taken a foul. However, with 41 seconds remaining, Nick Masi, who had twice earlier been swatted on 3-point attempts, drilled one from three feet behind the arc to put the finishing touches on Rio Rico. “If I could micro manage every part of the game, maybe I wouldn’t have him take that shot, but I love the fact that he has the confidence to take a shot like that, so I won’t usually be critical in that type of situation,” Gutwein said. “He hit it, was confident enough to take it, so I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome.” Westview’s semifinal win was a little easier. The Knights trailed 5-0 early to Dysart, but scored the final 19 points of the opening quarter. Westview struggled to score in the second quarter, and led just 24-15 at intermission. The offense picked it up after that, and the defense was even better. Leading 36-21 after three quarters, the Knights went on a 16-2 run in the fourth quarter before taking out all of its starters. At that point, they led 52-23. “I’m super proud of that side of things, because if you think about that number, 23, if you go back and look at the halftime score, we didn’t need to score in the second half,” McEvoy said. “If we defend like that, we’ll find a way to score. We’ll get a lot of run outs. We’re one of the best fast breaking teams in the state.” Estrella returned to the floor Tuesday against Youngker. The result was unavailable at press time. The Wolves host Buckeye at 7 p.m. Thursday. Westview is back on the court at 7 tonight, hosting Mesa Westwood. “I hope we keep rolling,” Van Dyke said. “We have an undefeated season [power-points games] right now. I just want to keep it rolling.”

and Queen Creek, 6-2, surrendering two goals late to put the game out of reach. “For us, I think it was good competition,” Tolleson coach Tabitha Fedina said. “It was good exposure for the girls. Hopefully next year, when we come back, we’re prepared for what is going to be presented to us.” Tolleson started the season 4-0-1, but have lost seven in a row since then. Fedina said the team has been a little slower on the learning curve than she’d like, but they’ve continued to fight hard during the slide. “I don’t like where we are,” Fedina said. “We have a lot of things to work on, and I want to continue to grow those things and work on them. Something for us isn’t working, so we’re going to change some things before the next game and see what works for us. Hopefully, we can turn the second half of the season around and get back on the winning train instead of where we are right now.” Tolleson and La Joya’s scheduled region-opening match before winter break was cancelled, meaning the Lady Wolverines’ region slate will begin Jan. 12 against Surprise Valley Vista.

kind of what bit us in the butt.” The Scorpions were within two points with 20 seconds to play when Werner missed a potential go-ahead 3, and the Scorpions were called for a charging foul seconds later when trailing by three. “This is a young group of kids,” Lovely said. “Maybe they’re seniors, but they haven’t played varsity basketball competitively. Now, all of a sudden they’re put in [crunch time] and having to learn what some of these kids have already learned. It’s all part of the process of building.” Werner led the team 26 points, including seven 3-pointers. He was also named to the all-tournament team. Nathaniel Harvey and Tyler Gardner each had nine points, while Peter Ndoma-Ogar and Boggs scored six apiece.

Desert Edge missed out on an opportunity to potentially play in the championship game of its home tournament Dec. 27-29. The Scorpions played a streaky second game and lost by one-point to Nogales, 63-62, which put them in BOYS the thirdBASKETBALL place game instead. Desert Edge wound up losing that contest as well, 56-45 to Phoenix Sierra Linda, finishing fourth in the Scorpion Challenge. “The kids seem to be — we refer to them as the cardiac kids because they’re going to give you a heart attack, the game is going to be exciting one way or another,” Desert Edge coach Scott Lovely said. “I don’t understand why we spot teams points before we decide to start playing, but that seems to be a pattern.” Against Nogales, the Scorpions found themselves in a 5-0 hole right off the bat, not scoring for nearly three minutes in the opening quarter. After tying the game at 5-5, Nogales scored the next two hoops, but then the Scorpions went on a 9-3 run to take a 14-12 lead. This theme continued all night. Trailing 27-22 in the third quarter, Desert Edge’s Kyle Werner hit back-to-back 3-pointers to give the Scorpions the lead, but Nogales went on a 14-1 run to end the quarter with a 41-29 advantage. “We rely too much on the 3 early,” Lovely said. “We told them to attack the rim, and they’re shooting 3s, settling, and that hurt us.” In the third quarter, Desert Edge looked like a completely different team. The Scorpions’ play on the floor proved it, as they outscored Nogales 20-6 in the stanza, taking a 49-47 lead into the final eight minutes. “Before the game I put on the board, we have to get the 50-50 balls, which we didn’t do tonight, we have to protect the

Luckily, we had a big come off the bench, Austin Boggs, a sophomore, came in off the bench and made a difference in there. That’s kind of what changed things, once we did that. Then they tried to take away that, and our outside shooting kind of took over from there.” All the swagger Desert Edge had in the third quarter dissipated in the

fourth. Nogales’ Alan Contreras hit three 3-pointers and made two free throws in the first four minutes of the quarter, aiding a 13-4 run that put the Apaches on top for good. After the Scorpions did not allow a single 3 in the third quarter, Contreras’ shooting killed them. “One of the things we talk to them about is you can’t have four kids playing defense and one kid taking it off, and that’s what we ended up doing,” Lovely said. “We had four kids trapping, and one kid not rotating, so that’s when the open shot happened. That’s

The Scorpions started the tournament with a 73-65 overtime win against Scottsdale Coronado. At the time, it was their third win in four games, but the Scorpions started the season with four straight losses. Lovely said it’s been a process, as he’s having to teach from the ground up. “Some of the things we’re focusing on is how to close out, staying in front of your man, the basic fundamental stuff,” Lovely said. “The other stuff we haven’t been able to get them to get, because they’re still grasping that fundamental stuff.” Utilizing the tournament to grow as a team, Lovely wanted his athletes to focus on specific jobs. “The thing about this tournament is we knew teams coming here were going to be good, so our focus was to come in and have each kid do their job, specifically focus on what their job was,” Lovely said. “In doing so, you’re starting to create that habit of just doing what you’re supposed to do, nothing more, nothing less. So, we’re kind of moving in that direction.” Desert Edge opened the new year by hosting Millennium Tuesday night. The result was unavailable at press time. The Scorpions jump into region play Jan. 10, hosting Phoenix Barry Goldwater.

“I was making a run down the right,” Carr said. “It was a chip and I had to volley hit it to the left side of the net.” Trent Campbell had the Wolves’ second goal. After a scrum in front, Campbell found a loose ball on his foot and knocked it in for a 2-2 tie. Mountain View retook the lead in the 62nd minute, but again Estrella had an answer. This time it was a quick response, as Marco Vasquez scored just three minutes after the Toros had gained the lead, blasting a shot off the right post and in to make it 3-3. “Mountain View is a 6A school, they’re a big school,” Navarro said. “The kids came back and fought hard, and I can’t ask for anything more, especially this late in the tournament.”

Estrella Foothills didn’t find a victory at the Arizona Soccer Showcase Dec. 27-29 at Reach 11 Sports Complex in Phoenix, but the Wolves don’t have anything to hang their heads about. Estrella was shorthanded BOYS and playing SOCCER some tough, upper-level competition. The Wolves finished 0-2-1, earning a 3-3 tie in the last game against 6A Mesa Mountain View. The other two games were a 4-2 loss to 5A Agua Fria and a 1-0 defeat to Flagstaff. “Flagstaff game was best game,” Estrella coach Michael Navarro said. “It was tough. We were there. I told them during the tournament, it doesn’t matter if we win or lose, as long as we’re getting better, because it doesn’t count against us. Team bonding and team chemistry, get it going.” Despite the winless tournament, Estrella is 4-0 in power-points contests, which is the best start Navarro has had in his three years at the helm. “We’re looking good,” he said. “We’re young. We only start one senior, so we’re young and athletic. We should be all right.” The Wolves were without Adrian Alvarado, Josh Orozco and Trevor Valencia for the final game of the tournament. Alvarado had the flu, Orozco was on a family vacation and Valencia suffered a concussion the game before. That took away three of the Wolves’ defenders. “The guys are beat up,” Navarro said. “Three games in three days, and three

MARCO VASQUEZ of Estrella Foothills kicks the ball Dec. 29 during the Arizona Soccer Showcase at Reach 11 Sports Complex in Phoenix. Vasquez had the tying goal in a 3-3 draw with Mesa Mountain View. tough teams — it took a toll on them. They get the weekend off to rest and recover, then we get back and start all over again.” Against Mountain View, Estrella was inches from taking the lead in the opening 10 minutes. A crossing pass came to Ryan Carr at the right post, but his shot hit the post and bounced away. Mountain View went on the counter attack and scored to go ahead 1-0. “It was coming hard from the left side, I extended and just blasted it into the pole,” Carr said. “It was really upsetting. Then

they bring it down and score the same way. I was like, that’s what I’ve got to do.” Within five minutes, Mountain View had a 2-0 lead. The Wolves struggled to clear a ball inside the penalty area, and the Toros made them pay. Despite trailing 2-0, Estrella didn’t back down. The Wolves scored twice in the latter stages of the first half to tie the score at intermission. Carr had the first of the two goals, taking a crossing pass from the top of the 18-yard box and slotting into the left corner of the net.

Estrella played both of its tournaments, and has eight power-points games remaining. The Wolves have yet to play a home game, but have four this month. The first was Tuesday against Tempe Marcos de Niza. The result was unavailable at press time. Estrella’s next game is Jan. 9 at Peoria. After that, the Wolves will get a boost to their offense, as Buckeye transfer Manuel Ruiz will be eligible to play. Ruiz scored 33 goals for the Hawks last year, helping them reach the Division IV state championship game. “He’s a stud,” Navarro said. “We got pretty lucky having him come over.” Estrella’s first region game is Jan. 17 when it hosts Yuma Gila Ridge. Navarro is looking for good things from his group the rest of the season. “The kids love to play for each other, they have good team chemistry,” Navarro said. “We’re athletic. We have to be a little more technical on the ball, but if we sharpen that up, we’ll be OK.” Carr said the team’s success so far can be attributed to the fact that everyone has the same goal. “We all work really well together, work for each other,” he said. “It’s a good group of guys.”

The West Valley View publishes on Wednesday. The 9 Days a Week calendar — a listing of entertainment events such as concerts, theatrical performances, events for schools, churches, county parks and nonprofit groups — runs every issue. Events must be open to the public to be considered and generally must be held within the View’s coverage area, which is south of Northern Avenue, west of Loop 101, plus all of Tolleson, extends to Estrella on the south and Tonopah on the west. Events such as concerts and theatrical performances that fall outside of the View’s circulation area will be considered as there are no concert halls or theater venues within our boundaries.
