Drinking water at several West Valley public schools is being tested for lead as part of a statewide program being conducted by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality. The testing is being done at 7,000 buildings at 1,200 schools in Arizona, according to Trevor Baggiore, director of ADEQ’s Water Quality Division. Baggiore said the program was developed after lead found in the water in Flint, Mich., became a national news story last year. “National awareness of lead in water has come back since Flint,” Baggiore said. “We saw a gap in knowledge about whether kids were exposed at their school.” While water is tested by providers before being delivered to schools, ADEQ’s screening will determine if water could become contaminated as it moves through a school’s plumbing system. Risk of lead leaching increases with intermittent water use, such as when schools are closed for weekends or breaks. In children, lead poisoning can cause slowed development, behavior problems and brain, liver and kidney damage, according to ADEQ. Baggiore said buildings identified to be tested

are those with higher risks, including schools in certain ZIP codes, any campus that offers pre-kindergarten programs attended by children under age 5 and buildings constructed before 1987. Tests will also be done in a sampling of newer buildings to determine if there’s statistical evidence of a problem that would justify further testing, he said. “The program is designed to screen the entire state and give us an idea whether there are any problems,” said Caroline Oppleman, ADEQ public information officer. Oppleman said the program that started in January is on a “fast track,” with testing to be completed by June. She called the program “proactive,” since it is not mandated by state or federal legislation or regulations. “We saw it as an opportunity to work with the schools,” Baggiore said. While participation by the schools is optional, Baggiore said the response has been good, with some public schools not on the list to be tested expressing interest in the program, as well as some private schools. By early February, about one-third of the buildings were scheduled for tests, which (See Lead on Page 5)

A facility created by a unique public-private partnership that uses treated wastewater to recharge aquifers has started operating in the West Valley. Arizona’s first public-private reclaimed water recharge facility is the result of a 100-year partnership between Liberty Utilities and the Central Arizona Water Conservation District, a groundwater replenishment authority. Executives from both agencies were on hand Feb. 1 for a ribbon cutting at the Liberty Aquifer Replenishment Facility at 15080 W. Camelback Road, Goodyear. Officials said the facility will enhance local water supplies by creating a reuse for 3.5 million gallons of wastewater that is treated each day at Liberty Utilities’ Palm Valley Water Reclamation Facility. The treated water is sold by the company for irrigation of parks and golf courses, with the surplus delivered to the replenishment facility, where it is recharged into underlying aquifers. The pipes that deliver the reclaimed water to the facility are not attached to any potable water lines, according to the company. The facility is designed to recharge up to two feet of water in a 24-hour period into each of four aquifer basins. Plans call for opening more basins in the future. Officials estimated that over a 20-year period, 32 billion gallons of water will be stored in the underlying basins on the 58-acre site. Planning for the project started six years ago, with the site identified three years ago, according to Matthew Garlick, president of Liberty Utilities Arizona. The land was purchased in 2015. Construction took about a year and was completed in December. Ted Cooke, general manager of the Central Arizona Project, said the project has gained international attention and will help achieve state goals for replenishing the aquifer. “It’s a groundbreaking project,” Cooke said. “It’s truly a win-win. We need to do more of these kinds of things.” Central Arizona Project funded $6.1 million of the $8.3 million project. Since the facility is near Luke Air Force Base, basins on the site are covered by a mesh netting installed to prevent birds from being attracted to standing water and creating the potential for bird strikes for passing planes.

Avondale family escapes Feb. 3 house fire

West Valley View, Avondale, Arizona, Wednesday, February 8, 2017

by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

A family of five was able to escape their Avondale home after it caught fire in the early morning on Feb. 3, officials said. Firefighters responded at about 2:30 a.m. to the house near El Mirage and Lower Buckeye roads, said Division Chief Ben Avitia, a spokesman with the Avondale Fire and Medical Department. Officials believe the fire started in the garage and quickly spread to the roof and back of the house, Battalion Chief Justin Ernst said.

“When we got here, the fire was coming through the roof, which makes it not a safe structure for us to enter, so we fought the fire from the outside,” Ernst said. The fire was extinguished within 30 minutes, and firefighters managed to keep it from spreading to neighboring structures, but the house is a total loss, Avitia said. Three adults and two children were at home when the fire started, he said. Investigators are working to determine what caused the fire. No injuries were reported. KPHO/KTVK reporters contributed to this story.

Two Phoenix residents were arrested Feb. 2 in connection to a burglary at a west Phoenix dental office, officials said. Billy Clayton, 39, and Shawna Houseal, 25, were booked into Maricopa County Fourth Avenue Jail and face charges of thirddegree burglary, court records show. At about 1:45 a.m. Feb. 1, the pair allegedly broke into All Smiles Dentistry at 108th Avenue and Indian School Road and stole two computer Billy Clayton monitors, said Sgt. Alan Pfohl, a spokesman with the Phoenix Police Department. The following afternoon, a Phoenix police officer noticed a man and woman walking near 101st Avenue and Camelback Road who matched the suspects’ descriptions obtained from security footage, he said. The officer detained them and called the detective assigned to the case, who positively identified them as the same people who allegedly Shawna Houseal broke into the dental office, Pfohl said. During the investigation, detectives linked Clayton and Houseal to another commercial burglary on Jan. 23 in the area of 16th Street and Glendale Avenue in Phoenix, where a window was broken and a computer monitor was stolen, he said.

Litchfield marks centennial Ground broken Weekend of activities planned to celebrate 100 years since founding of community by Glenn Gullickson staff writer

Litchfield Park will celebrate the 100th anniversary of its founding with three days of events marking the settlement of what started as a headquarters for a cotton ranch. Centennial events will start Friday and continue through Sunday at several locations. It was 1917 when the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. moved its Southwest Cotton Co.’s camp to the area that is now a city named for Paul Litchfield, a Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. executive who laid out the town site with a Phoenix architect and designed its first water system. The 3.3-square-mile city, which was incorporated in 1987 and has grown into a community of about 5,400 residents, is perhaps best known for its Wigwam resort. The theme for the anniversary event is “Proud Past, Bright Future.” “The community itself, just like our theme, has a really proud past and a bright future,” said Tricia Kramer, the city’s special events coordinator. Kramer said a committee of about 25 people have been working for a year to organize events that will be staged all over the city. “This only comes once in a lifetime,” Kramer said of the celebration that she expects to attract up to 5,000 people. The weekend will also mark the 100th anniversary of the Litchfield Elementary School District and the 50th anniversary of the city’s Recreation Center. Here are the schedule and event details:

Litchfield school district to celebrate centennial View report

It’s also the centennial year for the Litchfield Elementary School District, a milestone being marked with weekend events plus a campaign to establish a permanent reminder of the occasion. The centennial will be celebrated with entertainment by pupil groups from the district from 10:20 a.m. to 1:55 p.m. Saturday on two stages at Litchfield Elementary School, 255 E. Wigwam Blvd., Litchfield Park. Acts will include choirs, a sign language club, drum line, theater group and bands. Pupil artwork created for the centennial will be on display along with the results of a Future Schools Competition, which challenged pupil teams to design a school 100 years into the future. Also on display will be history projects created by fourth-graders who have studied local history and the city and school district’s centennials. The Litchfield Elementary School District Educational Foundation will have a booth near the gazebo. In honor of the anniversary, the foundation has launched the “Centennial Way Campaign’’ to raise $100,000 for an endowment to recognize teacher and staff excellence. Funds are being collected through donations starting at $100 for bricks for Centennial Way to be constructed at the southwest corner of the Litchfield Elementary School campus. More than $30,000 has been raised by the campaign, which is expected to conclude by Aug. 1, with the walk to be unveiled on Oct. 20.

Construction is set to begin after a groundbreaking ceremony on the site of the first Catholic high school in the West Valley. Five hundred students are expected to attend when St. John Paul II Catholic High School opens in August 2018 just north of St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church and School, 13720 W. Thomas Road in Avondale. “The school will make Catholic education more accessible in one of the fastest growing regions of Arizona,” said the Rev. Thomas J. Olmsted, bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix, during the Jan. 27 groundbreaking. Plans for the $23 million project show a main building of classrooms and administrative offices with 105,000 square feet spread over three levels. The building will also include a chapel, library and science labs. Three other phases of the project include a building housing a gym, and plans show future athletic fields on the site. Sister Mary Jordan Hoover, who will be principal of the school, said pupils currently in seventh and eighth grades at St. Thomas Aquinas and other West Valley Catholic schools will be the founding students when the school opens with ninth and 10th grades. Other grades will open in following years. Hoover noted the campus is being built at a time when Catholic schools in other parts of the country are being closed. The high school will be a “21st-Century Catholic school” offering academics, sports, music and drama, Hoover said. “These things will happen because the school is first of all Catholic … with an education rooted in Jesus Christ,” she said. Hoover is a member of the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia, also known as the “Nashville Dominicans,” referring to the order’s roots in the Tennessee city. The order, which is new to the Phoenix diocese, has a 150-year tradition in education, teaching in 34 U.S. schools from pre-school to college. She and two associates moved to Arizona from Arlington, Va., last year. Plans for the school date back to 1999, when the diocese purchased the 21-acre tract where the school will be built. Currently, the closest high school to the West Valley is Bourgade Catholic High School, 4602 N. 31st Ave., Phoenix. “We know the faithful of the West Valley have been patient,” said MaryBeth Mueller, superintendent of schools for the diocese. More than 14,000 pupils attend the diocese’s 28 Catholic elementary schools, six high schools and 28 preschools. The last Catholic high school in the diocese was opened in 2002 in Scottsdale. Xavier and Brophy college preparatories are located in Phoenix, and a campus is also located in Chandler. The Avondale school is named for the late Pope John Paul II, who was selected as pope in 1978. His 27-year reign included a visit to Phoenix in 1987. He was canonized in 2014.

OUR VIEWPOINT

MATSON’S OPINION — Roll Call

EDITORIAL

Voter fraud cure could be worse than the disease The claim is that millions of people voted illegally in last November’s presidential election. President Trump says he is going to have an investigation into how large the problem is. We want to be sure that the cure is not worse than the disease. One possible solution to the problem of voter fraud is to create one national database of voters. That way any registration in one state will automatically cause registrations in other states to be nullified. We think there is probably a large number of people who have moved across state lines in their adult life who have registered to vote in their new home. And we think that many, maybe most, never thought to unregister in their old home state. And we are also pretty sure that most survivors never think about sending death certificates to the election officials in their loved one’s home state. While it used to be said of Chicago that politicians urged people to vote early and often, we don’t think there is widespread abuse of this manner. Only a federal investigation will clear up how large this problem is. But one thing we are very sure of is that there is computer hacking going on every day. Target, Yahoo, Arizona’s voter registration system, the Democratic National Committee and the U.S. State Department are some of the entities known to have been hacked. It took months in some cases for these entities to realize it had happened, years in other cases. So the one thing we don’t want to see come out of this investigation is a single, online database of voter registration records. Such a database would make the system more vulnerable to hacking by a world full of people with evil intentions as well as kids who just want to see if they can change everyone’s name in the database to Donald.

Goodyear voting underway Speaking of voting, Goodyear’s City Council election is right around the corner. You’re thinking we just had an election, aren’t you? Well, Goodyear still holds its election in the spring of odd-numbered years. When the state decided back in 2012 that cities must hold their elections in the fall of even-numbered years, Goodyear had to ask its residents what they wanted since the spring election was written into its charter. Despite knowing a spring election could cost the city an extra $300,000, Goodyear residents voted to keep things the way they were. Then council members cited possible voter fatigue with the ginormous fall ballot as their reason for supporting the spring election. So there’s your history lesson for the day. The deadline to register to vote is Feb. 13. Election day is March 14. Registered voters should receive their ballots Feb. 15, but before you rush that completed ballot off to the post office, you might want to attend a candidate forum co-sponsored by the West Valley View and the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce. There you will hear from Mayor Georgia Lord who is facing off with former Mayor Jim Cavanaugh for mayor, as well as Councilwoman Wally Campbell, Councilman Joe Pizzillo, and newcomers Brannon Hampton, Sara Gilligan and Jayson Black, who are all vying for three council seats. Litchfield Park Vice Mayor Paul Faith will moderate. The forum is set to begin at 6 p.m. Feb. 28 at Skyway Church, 14900 W. Van Buren St., Goodyear. We’ll see you there!

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.

Trump should be punished Editor: Alternative facts? Really? Alternative facts are what got the U.S. into the Iraq war, a war we are still dealing with all these years later. When you were a kid and you had to explain to your parents an unacceptable circumstance, using alternative facts generally got you some form of punishment; sent to your room, mouth slapped, or feeling something on your behind. Barely 48 hours into the new administration, and the public is being given alternative facts, also known as a lie. There may be no better time than the present to dispense one or more of those punishments from the bottom to the top, of the administration. Don Rerick Litchfield Park

Unfair CAGRD fees update Editor: I finally got ahold of a specialist

at CAGRD (Central Arizona Groundwater Replenishment District) and she stated that Residential subdivisions developed after February 1995 can no longer rely on groundwater as their exclusive water supply. By State law, Residential subdivisions developed after February 1995 must pay the cost of replacing the groundwater we use. This CAGRD assessment is determined by the amount of groundwater delivered to your home which is provided to CAGRD by Liberty Utilities. To get our homes out of CAGRD, Liberty Utilities needs to switch us from groundwater to a renewable surface water supply. So you readers that live in homes built after 1995 outside of that brown oval fence called the true Litchfield Park. You all need to check your tax statements and under the Special District Central Arizona GRD you’ll notice this assessment fee that we pay but homes inside of that brown oval fence called the true Litchfield Park, they do not pay this assessment fee and neither does the Wigwam. I really think this needs to be changed because the true Litchfield Park has had this break for over 20 years now. According to my contact at CAGRD, this assessment (tax rate) will probably keep increasing. So I think that we that are paying this CAGRD assessment fee need to contact Trent Franks the U. S. Rep for Arizona’s 8th Congressional District. And let him know that this 1995 law needs

to be changed to include all homes and businesses not just homes and businesses built after 1995. We also need to contact Liberty Utilities and see if Liberty utilities is working to get our homes off of the use of groundwater just like Avondale residents as I don’t see Avondale residents paying this assessment fee. Bill Alcocer Litchfield Park

Keep the council we have Editor: This is concerning the Goodyear City Council election in March. The positions of Mayor (Georgia Lord) & 2 Council seats ( Joe Pizzillo & Wally Campbell) are up for re-election plus one Council seat to be filled. Now please remember this is my opinion. I have lived here for 15 years & with this Council I have felt that the choices they made were in the best interest of Goodyear & its residents. They have brought in new businesses, new schools & a state of the art movie theater & this year we can be proud to raise the banner for the American League Champs, the Cleveland Indians, at the Goodyear Ballpark. I’d say they did & still are doing a great job. I have also lived here during the term of Jim Cavanaugh. It was just recently that it was made known that Mr. Cavanaugh decided to run against Mayor Lord. I agree (See Letters on Page 7)

(From Page 6) it’s always good to have a choice but I need to ask why did Mr. Cavanaugh throw his hat into the ring at such a late date? What is his platform/agenda?, How does he expect to make Goodyear better? And what will happen if things don’t go his way, will he walk out on Goodyear, AGAIN? I remember thinking when that happened, he was like the boy with the only football who couldn’t get his way so he took his ball & quit the team. So ask yourself “What would stop him from doing it again”. It would just hurt us, the residents of Goodyear, AGAIN. Always keep in mind, you know what you have but you’re never sure what you’ll get. Carolyn Rota Goodyear

Editor proves pro-choice point Editor: Ms. Hines’ dramatic editorial which mentioned “Female Body Parts” 5 times is a good example of the up-hill battle women face in not just our society, but all societies. Ms. Hines is right in saying that there are many more issues to object to with the election of President Trump. However, the issue of abortion stands alone in its importance to the problems women face in society. Issues like equal pay are important but nothing shows the otter contempt men show for women, as telling them what they can and cannot do with a fetus (not a child) inside their body. This can

 GUEST COMMENTARY be summed up by the saying “keep women barefoot and pregnant”. Men have an inferiority complex when it comes to women, and it shows up in every government and every religion. MAN, IS LORD OVER WOMEN. As far as the “Right to Life” women not being invited, that was a good call. There are many constructive ways to prevent the need for abortions that do not put women in a category of being subservient to men. The bigger issue here is why the government has given the insurance companies the power to determine or influence through the laws, how health care is administered. Ms. Hines also mentioned men’s issues, WHAT ARE THESE ISSUES. Maybe the issues are that men are the most likely to commit violent crime, rape, childmolestation, wife abuse and drunk driving. Keep in mind we know one of the key causes for these problems. The cause is inside “My Male Parts”. When a violent crime is committed, when a child is molested, we can do an operation that will greatly diminish the possibility of recurrence. The only question than is, should insurance cover the operation? Art Boyle Buckeye

Goodyear’s big spenders Editor: Here are some facts about City of Goodyear spending since 2013 when incumbents Lord, Pizzillo, and Campbell were elected. All data was taken directly from the city’s budget documents. In FY2013 Goodyear’s budget (See Letters on Page 8)

Buckeye water customers still drowning in debt by Jeff Hancock Buckeye Residents Against High Water Bills organizer

We are tired of getting hosed with outrageous water bills aren’t you? Many residents of Buckeye have been looking for answers. All we get is horrible customer service and blanket excuses as to why our bills have mysteriously been so high. There have been many different attempts to find solutions — appeals to the Attorney General’s office, letters to the governor, letters to the county supervisors, even a petition to the corporation commission. After all of this, we find out there is no regulatory entity that oversees municipal utilities. In another attempt to finally get our situation resolved, “Buckeye Residents Against High Water Bills” have come together to recall the mayor. Here are a few reasons why we are petitioning to recall Mayor Jackie Meck and why we believe this is the right step to getting these water issues resolved. The first issue is that as chief executive officer of the city, he lacks the leadership skills to run the city. Through the years of Meck’s tenure, it has seemed to most that he has been giving an adequate performance of his position that is until he was confronted with a large problem such as these water bill spikes and errors. He claims he did not know that these errors had been happening. However, on Sept. 9, 2005, the West Valley View published an article about high water bills. Meck is pictured holding up a water bill for $79,000. This shows that he knew about the water problems 12 years ago! This is a case of total dereliction of his duties as mayor. Second, the water rates were increased under his direction as chairperson of the council. The reason given was that all water users must pay for the costs of maintaining the water system, which included the purchase of Global Water. When in business, you don’t expand until you have the money to expand. The city purchased Global Water and passed the expense to the residents. They passed their bad planning expenses on to the consumer, which is us. Third, residents are receiving outrageously high water bills. This has been true in the past and still

continues to happen today. When asked about these bills, the mayor still has not been able to find out the source of the problem or come up with a solution. The issue is mysteriously resolved without explanation. His only solution is to give a “one time credit” and spend even more money changing out water meters. He does not explain why it happened or prevent it happening again in the future since it is still unknown if the water meters are the actual problem. Many water meters have been tested and are functioning properly. Why spend $1,000,000 changing out water meters, when that has not proven to be the problem? Spending more money is not the answer since that is the reason for the rate hikes in the first place. We are unsure of his motive as to why he cannot find explanations for these spikes in water bills or has not investigated the issue further, but he has had ample time to figure out and fix the problem and is either unable or unwilling to do so. It is time for that to change. We agree with former City Councilman Brian McAchran’s statement that “The Buckeye City Council is polarized by petty politics and there is no leadership at the city management level. This dysfunction permeates through the employees of Buckeye and is seen as poor customer service by the city’s customers.” Although Meck claims he loves to be in contact with all of the residents of Buckeye and talking directly with constituents, when he does talk directly to the residents, all we get are indirect answers and no real solutions to the issues we face. During this past election, the mayor stated, “The second issue is water … We still have work to do to keep water rates low, but I am confident that we can solve these challenges.” Mr. Mayor, you have had your chance, many years in fact, to solve these challenges. Now we want someone else. With a recall, we will be able to vote into office a mayor who is willing to revisit the rate increases and won’t make purchases that come at the expense of the consumer. By recalling Jackie Meck, we will be able to elect a mayor who is willing to find the problem and fix it once and for all. We are asking all buckeye residents to come out to the meeting we will be hosting at noon Feb. 11 at the Buckeye Aquatics Center, 207 N. Ninth St. Buckeye. We will have petitions for everyone to sign.

Population has not grown anywhere near that much. In 2013 there were 511 FTE employees. In 2017 there are 548. An increase of 37 employees. None of the increase are in the fire department. In 2013 the Mayor and Council expenditures budget was $251,000. In 2017 the Mayor and Council expenditures budget is $328,000. A 37% increase. Compare how much mayor and council increased spending on themselves to other city expenditures. In 2013 the Fire Department budget was 102 FTE and $14.4 million dollars. In 2017, the Fire Department budget is 102 FTE and $16.5 million dollars. A 14% increase. Less than half of what the mayor and council increased spending on themselves.

Denial sets women back Editor: The Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s March on January 21 focused on womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health issues, specifically the pro-choice viewpoint, because

the very next week the March for Life rally would be also be held in Washington DC which focused on the pro-choice viewpoint. I have just reviewed the Roe vs Wade decision to see how the US Constitution came into play in this decision. It is my understanding that the court recognized a womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right to privacy under the 14th amendment. This decision also recognized the right of the unborn when the fetus became viable. What has set all women back is the failure to accept the decision of the Supreme Court in 1973. The need of others to interfere in the health issues of individual women is what overrides other issues that concerns all US citizens, not just the female citizens. It would be interesting to hear your editorial views on the recent March for Life. Charlotte Krause Goodyear

Editor missed the point Editor: Regarding Cary Hinesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; editorial, January 25th; DC March Sets All Women Back. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to even know where to begin but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll give it my best. The Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s March was a perfect example of what truly makes our country great. A grassroots movement consisting of young/old, male/ female, white, black and brown. Apparently, you missed the point. Yes, womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reproductive rights were a focal point. However, there were numerous concerns voiced. Immigration, affordable health care for all, equal pay, the

environment and more. Kooky, silly costumes. Those pesky women in their pink hats and crazy signs! They should all get back in the kitchen where they belong (among other places), bake some cookies and be quick about it. Regarding Roe v. Wade, it allows for a SAFE, legal choice. There is evidence the ancient Egyptians used abortion. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going away. Surely you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t defend or suggest that the horrors of backstreet abortion on dirty kitchen tables by unqualified abortionists be allowed to be performed again in this country? Please do some research as to what that exactly means. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll spare you the grim details as the information is not suitable for all readers. I digressed. The bottom line is this: People all over the world joined the March in solidarity. The message was sent to Donald Trump, loud and clear. Mr. Trump is a tweeting, narcissistic adolescent with a personality disorder, in my humble opinion. This grassroots movement is powerful and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going away. Contrary to your opinion that the March set all women backâ&#x20AC;Śsorry sister, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just getting started. Thanks for listening, gotta go and get supper on the table, the timer just went off. Oh No!! Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that smell?! Oh my gosh, I did it again, I just burned my bra!

negatively-identified by our body parts! The Jan 21st womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s march smacked of old age feminists struggling to remain relevant. I was part of the old movement, watching as they were hi-jacked by the prochoice/contraception movement. Then and now, whether for or against abortion, women care about a multitude of issues. Feminists are forced to be single issue. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get me wrong. I believe our bodies do set us apart from men. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always known women (sorry guys) are biologicallly gifted. We have a womb and can carry and birth children. Men canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also better at breastfeeding. Old age feminists believe this makes us inferior and base their movement on the interventionist assumption that surgical and chemical methods must be used to reshape us into their image of men for us to compete in a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Believe it or not â&#x20AC;Ś

while advancing profitably in our careers, find this offensive. Despite being from all walks of life, the vast majority of women Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve known have managed to enjoy families, careers, and have still found time to care about and volunteer for causes other than the feminist abortion/ contraception standbys. As I watched the march on the news, I wondered if their strident, single issue concern had more to do with a fear of losing taxpayer funding for their narrowly defined cause? Old age feminists marching with their pocketbooks. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always said, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a feminist â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I do what I want. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d no sooner have feminists tell me what I should think, do or say than Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have men tell me what I should think, do or say. Oh, look!

Verrado girls upended in 1st round of state Lady Vipers’ late-season run comes to halt by Casey Pritchard sports editor

Verrado’s girls soccer team hadn’t tasted defeat in more than three weeks heading into the first round of the 5A state playoffs Feb. 1, but that run of success finally came to an end. The 14th-seeded Lady Vipers were ousted from the playoffs by No. 3 Scottsdale GIRLS Arcadia 6-1. SOCCER Verrado and Arcadia met Jan. 6 during the regular season at Verrado, which resulted in a 3-0 win for the Lady Titans. Despite losing the first matchup, the game was closer than the score indicated, giving Verrado coach David Hopkinson some hope going into the playoff encounter. “The first time was 3-0 and they scored one late; I thought the game was pretty close,” Hopkinson said. “One of the big differences, they’re good, and playing at their place, they play on a turf field, it’s a little bigger, a little faster, a little different surface. We didn’t play on turf at all before that game, and they have some really good players, especially up top. We got a little spread out and it just kind of opened up a little more space than maybe [Kalena Teufel] had in the first game.” Teufel didn’t score in the first matchup between the teams, but had two goals in the playoff contest. The first matchup between the teams was also at Verrado’s field, which is on regular grass. “When we play on a regular football field, the field isn’t maybe as good, so your touch might be a little bit off, you make a few more mistakes,” Hopkinson said. “On a perfect field, [Teufel] just didn’t make mistakes. Her touch was on, so it put our defense under a lot of pressure that they were maybe under more than the first game.” Hopkinson said his team allowed Arcadia to do too much offensively. “I thought we just let them get a little

It worked, as the Lady Vipers were able to pressure Arcadia’s defense in the latter stages of the first half. Unfortunately for Verrado, it didn’t lead to a goal. “The other coach even told me after the game that we dominated the last 10-15 minutes of the first half and had a couple great chances on goal,” Hopkinson said. “Their keeper made a couple of great

saves. I thought we were going to get one and get it to 2-1, and so we put a lot of energy trying to get back into it, and in the first half, we just couldn’t put it into the back of the net.” Despite gaining momentum going into the second half, Arcadia scored first after intermission, making it 3-0. Verrado responded with a Naiyana Barkman goal, but it was quickly answered. “We scored to make it 3-1 and had a little bit of momentum, and they pretty much scored off the kickoff,” Hopkinson said. “I think it was probably 20-30 seconds after we scored that they scored, and that was the back breaker. It went from 3-1 and a little momentum to 4-1, and you could see the girls deflate a little bit.”

“That was fun for the girls who don’t get to play much, they got to play in a playoff game,” he said.

Arete victory

“Veritas was in a big battle with [Tucson] Tanque Verde [Feb. 3], and when we got a lead on Arete, I was able to rest a lot of starters, so we were fresher on [Feb. 4],” Radford said. Radford got his entire bench into the opening-round game.

Trivium scored twice in each half against Arete. The opening goal came from Maddy Schleifer, and Paula Rosztoczy scored with 30 seconds left in the first half to make it 2-0 at intermission. “That was huge,” Radford said of the late goal. “In the playoffs, everybody brings their best game and leaves it on

the field, so we were not feeling too comfortable until that second goal.” Arete didn’t mount much of an offensive attack the whole game, Radford said. However, when it did, Trivium goalkeeper Tori Gutierrez was up to the test. “Tory made an amazing save, and our defense, they’re phenomenal,” Radford said. “Two more shutouts is phenomenal in the playoffs.” Trivium’s second half goals against Arete came from Schleifer, her second,

Despite the loss, Verrado had quite the turnaround to its season after a 2-7 start. The Lady Vipers won all five of their region games and the play-in postseason game Jan. 26 against Surprise Shadow Ridge. “I was super proud of the girls; I thought overall the season was a success,” Hopkinson said. “The big goal we had going into the year was to make the playoffs after missing it last year. That was our main focus. I knew how tough our schedule was — you kind of have to shield the girls a little bit from that to keep them focused and ready for every game — but I knew early on, especially if we didn’t get a couple wins against some of the teams in the middle, our record could be pretty bad early on.” That being said, Hopkinson said he also knew his team had the potential to run the table in Southwest Region play, which it did. “We had kind of talked about how we had to be as successful as we could at the beginning of the year, and then turn it on and win the region,” he said. “The girls knew we couldn’t lose a game once we got to region, and we went on a nice little six-game win streak, winning the region, winning the play-in game and getting into the round of 16. You want to make that legit playoff 16 … It’s a credit to the kids because they could have packed it in after the first half of the season, but they were motivated and focused to turn things around.” Verrado graduates five seniors, but only one who started. That means a lot of returning players for next year. “The core group is juniors,” Hopkinson said. “They’re a huge junior class and a couple freshmen. I think we had three freshmen that were playing and starting games for varsity, and a few sophomores. The future is bright. We have a lot of talent coming back. I think we play the same schedule, so it will be a good test of how much better we are and how much we’ve improved against similar opponents. That’s the one upside with the two-year block is you really get to challenge yourself and see what kind of strides you made in the offseason.” Casey Pritchard can be reached at caseypritchard@westvalleyview.com or on Twitter @CaseyonSports. and Luna scored in the final 10 minutes on a free kick. Trivium enters the final week of the season having scored 76 goals, while conceding just four. The Lady Crimson Knights have 14 shutouts. If the team can produce two more shutouts, it would be state champions. Radford knows it will be a tall task, he said. “Every game gets twice as hard as the one before,” he said. “They’re pretty focused and they’re feeling pretty confident about their chances.”

Estrella Foothills’ girls soccer team was hoping to take last year’s state semifinal run a step further this season, but the Lady Wolves were cut short of their goal when losing at top-seeded Flagstaff Feb. 4 in the 4A state quarterfinals. Eighth-seeded Estrella beat No. 9 Chandler Seton Catholic in the opening round, but lost 1-0 at Flagstaff. Estrella (16-2) fended off Seton GIRLS Catholic (15SOCCER 5-1) despite a slow start. The Lady Wolves had trouble connecting passes in the early going, and most of their through balls went a little too far for the forwards. “I think we were just kind of forcing everything, we weren’t really playing Estrella ball,” Estrella coach Rosie Gonzalez said. “I think we were also adjusting to that team, seeing, how are they going to play? How should we play? Once we got together in the second half, we were able to talk, figure it out, get our main focus, and we had to play to feet.” Estrella got onto the scoreboard late in the first half, taking advantage of a corner kick. Halee Yeager won the corner with a brilliant individual effort, then sent the corner across the goal mouth. Nobody was there for Estrella, but the clearing attempt by Seton’s defense went right to Estrella’s Veronica Valencia, and she pounded a shot into the top left corner of the net from 20 yards away. The goal came with just 4:01 remaining in the opening half. “It was a perfect opportunity,” Valencia said. “I knew I had to take it, and I was confident in my shot.” Gaining the lead in the first half was extremely important, Valencia said. “Once you get a goal in, you’re able to

Estrella added to its lead early in the second half, as Yeager scored a beautiful free-kick goal from 25 yards away. She hit a bending shot that went off the goalkeepers’ fingertips and went in just underneath the crossbar. “That’s exactly where I wanted it,” Yeager said of the shot. “Coach has us try to make those shots all the time in practice. We have two choices, to do a little flick over, or just take it. I decided to take it.” Seton responded less than two minutes later to make it 2-1, but Estrella’s confidence wasn’t rattled.

“We like to say, if they score on us or we score on them, it’s 0-0, start fresh, just play as if we’re starting over and there’s 10 minutes left in the game and we’re working hard,” Yeager said. Estrella got a much-needed insurance goal with 10:25 to play when Anita Moreno scored. Suzanne Duggan hustled to the corner of the field, beating a Seton defender to the ball, then passed it to Moreno near the right post. Moreno spun around as she made a touch on the ball, freeing herself to get in on goal where she was able to slam it home for a 3-1 lead. “She can turn on you and you don’t know what way she’s going to go because she switches it up so much,” Gonzalez said. “It’s amazing to have a player like

that, and even better to have her finish and get that cushion there.” Seton wasn’t finished, scoring on a penalty kick with 2:42 remaining to make things interesting. The Lady Sentinels were awarded the PK after a foul inside the 18-yard box. “They said one of our girls was holding that girl down,” Gonzalez said. “With two minutes left, they can get momentum, but we stayed focused and kept pushing.” Even though Estrella held on against Seton, it couldn’t knock off Flagstaff, suffering just its second defeat all year. Overall, the Lady Wolves scored 116 goals and allowed just nine. Last year, Estrella made the Division III semifinals, losing to Fountain Hills 3-0.

Estrella boys can’t advance past semifinals Wolves beat Higley, lose to Gila Ridge by Casey Pritchard sports editor

Estrella’s chance at redemption fell short Feb. 4, as the Wolves lost for the second time to Southwest Region foe Yuma Gila Ridge. The 4-0 defeat came in the boys soccer 4A state quarterfinals, eliminating the fifth-seeded BOYS Wolves. No. SOCCER 4 Gila Ridge previously beat Estrella 6-2 Jan. 17. Estrella (14-3) escaped the first round against No. 12 Gilbert Higley after a backand-forth battle that went to overtime. The Wolves got a Marco Vasquez goal in the first overtime to win 5-4. “They never stopped playing,” Estrella coach Michael Navarro said. “We got scored on, we tied it back up, we go ahead, they tie it back up, but we just kept our heads up and kept on each other.” Estrella gave up a couple of devastating goals, one at the end of each half. Higley scored on a corner kick with eight seconds left in the first half to tie the game at 2-2, and scored with just over two minutes remaining in the second half to knot the game at 4-4 and send it to overtime. However, Estrella had an emotional leader rally the troops. “At the end of each half they looked each other in the eyes and Trevor Valencia stepped up and told them, ‘Hey, this is it, it’s time to step up. When we walk out of this locker room, we’re going to come out and win it no matter what,’” Navarro said. “They stuck with it, played their hearts out.” Estrella fell behind 1-0 early, but got goals from Ryan Carr and Seth Erdman to take a 2-1 lead in the first half. After Higley tied it right before halftime, the

Estrella went ahead once more, this time on a Manuel Ruiz goal, before Higley’s late dramatics sent it to overtime. That’s when Vasquez stepped up to give the Wolves the lead. It happened on a play that came down the right wing. “I got the ball and turned around, saw the defender, it rebounded off of him and I saw the chance and just shot it in,” Vasquez said. After taking the lead, Navarro had a message for his team. “Going into that second overtime I told them, ‘Defend with your lives, play with everything you’ve got, don’t hold anything you’ve got,’” Navarro said. “The saves we had, they were all over the place, getting

touches, dives. It was an all-around team effort.” Goalkeeper Eric Vasques stepped up in the clutch, coming up with some incredible saves, especially in overtime. “Eric Vasques had the craziest saves I’ve ever seen in soccer,” Navarro said. “I can’t explain how ridiculous they were. It was throughout the game, but the last two minutes of double overtime, I told him, ‘That alone should get you a college scholarship.’” Vasques said it was a slow start, but he got into the rhythm of the game after that. “At first, I didn’t come out too strong, but once I kind of realized I needed to get it into gear, I got it into my head we needed to win,” Vasques said. “So, I went out stronger, didn’t hesitate, I was talking

more and tried to bring the team together.” The two teams had played during the regular season, with Estrella winning 1-0 at Higley. Navarro said he was surprised the score was so different, but he also wasn’t. “It was high scoring, but it wasn’t like one team blew the other out; we kept going back and forth,” he said. “We knew it was going to be a battle and we couldn’t give in. We were so evenly matched that no matter what, it was going to be a shootout. We knew what we were up against and had to play for 80 minutes no matter what, and in this case we played for 100 minutes. It was huge.” Despite the quarterfinal loss, it was a nice turnaround season for the Wolves, which went 10-6-1 last year and failed to make the postseason.

After settling through some initial nerves, the Wolverines unleashed some of their best play of the year in the early going against Chandler in the first-round game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were able to play our game, establish our game,â&#x20AC;? Andronic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did have some nerves there in the first five minutes, but I think we were able to shake them off and were able to play the way we wanted to play. It was beautiful.â&#x20AC;? Tolleson was able to trade in its efforts for a goal in the 14th minute. Senior Moises Palacios struck a perfect

The playoff schedule allowed little time between contests for Tolleson and its semifinal-round opponent, Brophy. Each team had only one day available to practice before the showdown. While the short rest may not be beneficial for tired legs, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helpful for the team to keep its mentality in tact, Andronic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the things weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done different this year than last year, [and] weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve now gone further than last year, is just worrying about us,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel that when you start reading too many things about the other team, or start asking coaches about the scouting reports, you start to get into your own head, start getting into your own kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; heads.â&#x20AC;? Andronic said the players and coaches have done a much better job this season keeping emotions in check before kickoff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year against Gilbert, we were scared,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year, we were relaxed. We got there earlier and calmed ourselves down. We were able to go through our motions, go through our progressions and warmups. It helped us calm down before the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The emotions werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too high. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be the same thing for Tuesday. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just going to worry about us.â&#x20AC;? Tolleson will go forward focused on its strengths, and will deal with opponentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; strategy as the challenges come along, Andronic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we see things we need to adjust, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll adjust,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the main thing is to focus on us, focus on what we can do. If the team we play makes us change that, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make adjustments in the game.â&#x20AC;? The last time Tolleson made the top-conference semifinals was in 2013, also against Brophy. The Wolverines lost that game in overtime 3-1, and Brophy went on to win the state crown in the final. Regardless of the outcome of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s semifinal, the Wolverines have proved they belong with the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best, Andronic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been fun, especially with these seniors,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for them to get some recognition for winning all these games. A lot of teams, these one-loss teams, might have looked at us thinking they should have been above us in the rankings, but I think in these past two games weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve proved we belong. Hopefully, we prove that again on Tuesday.â&#x20AC;?

Tolleson 3, Chandler 2

Semifinals

crawl back into the game and started playing our way, possessing the ball and passing the ball,â&#x20AC;? Tolleson coach Ben Andronic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was pretty even at the end of 40 minutes. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that way at the beginning, but at the end of the 40 minutes, it was a pretty even game. Anyone could have been on top.â&#x20AC;? Corona del Sol broke the deadlock 10 minutes into the second half with a goal, only to have Tolleson answer with an equalizer 10 minutes later. Once Tolleson got the first goal, it was only a matter of time before it put a second on the board with the way the team was playing, Andronic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were just frustrating them,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were trying to play the ball up top, play the long ball and head it to one of their forwards or wingers. We were pressuring them and frustrating them, blocking shots along the way, just doing everything we could do to stay in the game. Once we got the goal, it started going in our favor. The crowd behind us was definitely pushing us toward that winning goal.â&#x20AC;? The go-ahead score came from Armando Valdez on an impressive display through Coronaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With eight minutes left, Armando Valdez went on a 40-yard run by himself [through] two or three defenders,â&#x20AC;? Andronic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He got through and put it in the left side of the net.â&#x20AC;? Tolleson added a third goal two minutes later to take a 3-1 lead. Corona del Sol rounded up the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scoring by converting a penalty in the 78th minute, but the late scare wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough to knock Tolleson out of the lead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Going along with this season, Corona definitely deserved to be one of the best teams left in the state,â&#x20AC;? Andronic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We read the newspaper, a lot of media outlets were saying they were one of the favorites to win even though they were the fourth-ranked team. That just goes to show the top caliber our guys are and what we can do when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the top of our game.â&#x20AC;? Valdez ended the game with two goals for Tolleson. The other came from Emmanuel Rayas.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The refs were right on it this game,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t often see three penalties is a game, and of course Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the coach of the team that won two of them, but I think all the right calls were made.â&#x20AC;? Tollesonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back line held tough in the final moments of the game to preserve the victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You just have to take your chances,â&#x20AC;? Andronic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we learned from our mistakes in the first half of not taking them. Every time we had a chance, we did our best to do the right thing, to put it in the back of the net. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This team is led by a lot of seniors, and it would have been a shame for them to go home tonight with a loss.â&#x20AC;?

Comeback

header into the back of the net from a cross from junior Julien Cano. Chandler goalkeeper Angel Hernandez stayed on his touch line on Canoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cross, allowing the ball to get through to Palacios undisturbed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goal was maybe a keeper error there, but we were following through,â&#x20AC;? Andronic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The guys were doing exactly as we preach.â&#x20AC;? Tolleson kept the pressure on Chandler throughout the rest of the half, but failed to capitalize on the advantage with a second goal. The lack of scoring came back to bite the Wolverines in the 38th minute, when Chandler junior Daniel Corona was brought down in the penalty area by Tolleson center back Christian De Los Rios. Coronaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s penalty attempt was blocked by Tolleson goalkeeper Alan Cazares, but he was able to tap in the rebound for the equalizer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if Christian got a touch of the ball first, but he definitely took out his legs,â&#x20AC;? Andronic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see the ball part, but I think it was a good penalty [call]. I have no complaints with that, just complaints with our play and not being able to capitalize.â&#x20AC;? The Wolves took the momentum gained at the end of the half with them into the second half, and kept Tolleson on its heels. Tollesonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s midfield, which excelled in the first half and controlled the game, wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as effective at keeping possession and controlling the tempo of the game. Chandler took a 2-1 lead in the 56th minute on a goal from junior Roman Macias. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It looked there for a good stretch in the second half [that they] came out stronger than us,â&#x20AC;? Andronic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They came out with fresh legs. They came out with more passion than us for about 20 minutes there, and they went up. They were rewarded for doing what their coach told them to do at halftime, and we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ready for that. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what it was.â&#x20AC;? From Chandlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second goal on, Tolleson seemed to shake off the cobwebs and play with more fluidity. Tolleson came back to tie and then take the lead during a five-minute stretch starting in the 61st minute, thanks to two converted penalties by senior Cesar Martinez. The first penalty came when Martinez was pushed from behind in the box as he dribbled. Martinezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first penalty attempt was blocked, but the assistant referee ruled the keeper had come off his line early, giving Tolleson another chance. Martinez lined up again, and this time there was no doubt. He smashed it into the bottom right corner for the goal, putting Tolleson even at 2-2. The winning goal also came from Martinez via the penalty spot. This time, he was fouled by the keeper while making a run near the edge of the box. He converted the kick again to put the Wolverines ahead, 3-2, with just under 12 minutes remaining. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never been a part of a home playoff experience,â&#x20AC;? Andronic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think [the crowd] really helped us to keep pushing, and we were rewarded with [two] PKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.â&#x20AC;? There wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much controversy with any of the three penalty calls throughout the game. Each foul deserved a whistle, Andronic said.

A longtime advocate and supporter of military families, Geno was an active member of the Air Force Sergeants Association (AFSA) for over 40 years, serving as International President from 1988 through 1991.

ZURIE GUTIERREZ, 10, of Avondale Girl Scout Troop 2711 stands in front of countless boxes of Girl Scout Cookies ready for distribution Jan. 20 at Dircks Moving and Logistics in Phoenix. Zurie sold 500 boxes of cookies last year.

Cookies instill sweet skills Annual Girl Scouts project teaches salesmanship, goal setting by Glenn Gullickson staff writer

Those Thin Mints and Tagalongs are more than just a cookie for a Girl Scout. The annual cookie sale started Jan. 23 and continues through March 5 for a project that involves organization, goal setting, salesmanship, money management and even dealing with rejection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really important to the girls,â&#x20AC;? said Ivonne Campos, who has been a leader of a Girl Scout troop in Avondale for 11 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see the girls grow from the beginning as they become more confident.â&#x20AC;? This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sale marks the 100th anniversary of the first known sale of cookies by Girl Scouts. Campos leads a troop of eight girls ages 10 to 13, including her daughter, Amarissa Frias, 11, who sold 2,000 boxes of cookies last year, which was enough to earn her a trip to summer camp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I worked really hard. I asked everyone I knew,â&#x20AC;? Amarissa said. Preparing for the annual cookie sale starts with setting goals for the troop and each girl, Campos said. Training involves role-playing exercises where the girls learn how to sell and make change, Campos said. Amarissa said the simple and direct approach works best for her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Do you want to buy some Girl Scout cookies?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? she said. The girls also learn to accept that some people arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buying, as well as tips for staying safe when selling door to door, Campos said. Permission needs to be obtained to set up tables outside stores, where most of the cookies are sold, she said. Zurie Gutierrez, 10, also a member of Camposâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; troop, is selling cookies for the fourth year, with a goal of

moving 500 boxes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun and we get to meet different people,â&#x20AC;? she said. Each troop gets a portion of the proceeds from the sales, with the girls deciding how it will be spent for activities and programs, Campos said. Last year, Campos said her troop spent some of its money for care packages to be sent to active-duty servicemen and donated funds to the Phoenix Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital. Money is also allocated to purchase craft projects the girls do during holiday visits to a local assisted living facility, Campos said. Other money goes to the Girl Scout organization for things such as camping trips and supplies. Campos said Thin Mints are the biggest sellers, but this year, people will have a new choice with the addition of Girl Scout Sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;mores. The graham sandwich cookie with a chocolate and marshmallow filling is inspired by the campfire treat and features an embossed image of one of the five Girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Choice Outdoor badges. Other cookies on sale are Samoas, Tagalongs, Treoils, Do-si-dos and Savannah Smiles. Campos noted the price of cookies increased this year by $1 to $5 a box, and Sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;mores and gluten-free Toffeetastics are $6 a box. But Campos said she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the price increase will affect sales much. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone loves the Girl Scout cookies,â&#x20AC;? she said. About 20,000 Girl Scouts will sell cookies in central and northern Arizona, but if you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find the cookies, well, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an app for that. The Cookie Finder app is available at girlscoutcookies.org or from Google Play or the Apple store.
