SGT. DARRIN FREI models one of the new body cameras all Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office deputies will soon be outfitted with during a press conference Feb. 11 at the MCSO headquarters in Phoenix.

If you have any interactions with a Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office deputy in the future, chances are very good it will be recorded. All deputies are being outfitted with body cameras in an effort to improve productivity and accountability while they’re on patrol, Sheriff Joe Arpaio said. The Sheriff’s Office purchased 700 cameras, and 530 are already in use, he said during a Feb. 11 press conference. “Initially, I was a little reluctant about these cameras, being an old-time guy,” Arpaio said. “One thing that gnawed at me is I have to realize we’re in a different ballgame now.” The cameras were purchased from Taser International at a cost of $1,113 for all 700,

which is normally the price of one, Arpaio said. MCSO will pay an annual cost of about $863,570 to maintain the cameras and download videos to evidence.com, which is also Taser based. About $33,000 was also spent on infrastructure upgrades at MCSO’s substations, where fiber optic cables had to be installed, Chief Deputy Jerry Sheridan said. “The data from these cameras has to be downloaded every day after shift,” he said. “It is a monumental task to unload that amount of information.” Recordings must be kept for five years, according to a court order, Sheridan said. In 2013, a judge ordered Arpaio to outfit patrol deputies’ vehicles with dash cameras after (See Cameras on Page A4)

The Agua Fria High School gymnasium was at peak capacity for a basketball game Feb. 4, but it had nothing to do with the varsity teams. The Avondale high school hosted a Special Olympic Unified basketball game against Glendale Ironwood High School; a five-onfive matchup featuring three special education students and two regular education students on the court for each side. The schools played two 20-minute halves in front of a standing-room-only crowd full of Agua Fria students, teachers and parents. Ironwood won a nail biter of a game, 32-30. While it was close, the score might not have been the highest priority of the event. Chris Morris, an autism spectrum disorder-life skills teacher at Agua Fria, said the goal of the event was to create a realistic varsity athletic experience for the special-needs students who don’t necessarily get that chance. “Based off their needs and the specialized instruction they get in the classroom, they don’t get many opportunities to take electives or things like that,” Morris said. “[We wanted] to create something great for them on their high school campus where they feel like they’re a part of it, not saying they were never a part, but now they have a strong connection with everybody, instead of just their teachers, or kids in their class. Now they have a nice connection. Basketball games, going to dances, hanging out with friends, [those] are high school experiences.” Morris thought the event was a resounding success, he said. “I go out there to get the students every morning from the bus,” he said. “It was still the topic of conversation for all of them. It was the topic all week before we started, and it’ll probably continue on for a while.” Morris had previous experience setting up similar events while teaching at Ironwood, he said. He and Tony Stillings, a teacher at

Ironwood, set up a Special Olympic Unified game a few years ago at the Glendale school. Morris contacted Stillings earlier this year to have the two schools play a game together at Agua Fria. Morris got the green light from administration at the beginning of the school year, and worked toward setting up the game near the end of the varsity basketball season. “Really, the week of was the most busy part,” he said. “I had to pair all the kids based on ability levels and groups, and Tony was to do the

same, so we’d have the same groupings in there at the same time to keep it competitive.” Morris admitted he was a little worried about the competitiveness of the game early on, but had contingency plans in place. A close game would keep the players and fans interested, he said. “We were nervous because I had a few kids who could hit three-point shots and [Tony] didn’t,” Morris said. “I told him they could hit those shots and there was nothing I could do (See Olympians on Page A4)

Man dies after swerving golf cart Human remains to avoid car in Goodyear ID’d as missing Buckeye man

by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

A 76-year-old man died after rolling his golf cart in an attempt to avoid hitting a vehicle Feb. 10 near Pebble Creek Parkway and Clubhouse Drive in Goodyear, officials said. Firefighters responded to the scene at about 1:30 p.m. and found Gerald Wunderlich unresponsive with a possible head injury, said Battalion Chief Russ Braden, a spokesman for the Goodyear Fire Department. The driver of the car, a 90-year-old man, turned left in front of the golf cart onto Pebble Creek Parkway, said Lisa Kutis, a spokeswoman for the Goodyear Police Department. Wunderlich, who was traveling east on Clubhouse

Drive, overcorrected the golf cart in an attempt to avoid the car and was ejected as the cart rolled over, Kutis said. The golf cart landed on Wunderlich, but bystanders lifted it before firefighters arrived, Braden said. “Our crew arrived very quickly, as this occurred just down the street from Goodyear Fire Station 185,” he said. Wunderlich was transported to Abrazo West Campus Trauma Center in Goodyear in critical condition, and died overnight, Kutis said. Police continue to investigate the accident, and citations may be issued, she said. Emily Toepfer can be reached at etoepfer@westvalleyview.com or Twitter @EmilyToepfer.

Man dies after car hits him in Goodyear View report

A man died Monday night after he was hit by a car while crossing the street near MC85 and Bullard Avenue in Goodyear, officials said. Firefighters responded to the scene at about 7:40 p.m. and found a police officer performing CPR on a man in his 60s who was not breathing and didn’t have a

heartbeat, said Battalion Chief Russ Braden, a spokesman for the Goodyear Fire Department. After firefighters took over treatment, they determined the man wasn’t responding to lifesaving measures and would not be able to survive his injuries, Braden said. The investigation was turned over to the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office.

Phoenix man arrested after shooting at Tolleson apartment complex

Police have identified human remains found Jan. 28 near Komatke Road and 207th Avenue in Buckeye as missing Buckeye resident Joseph Cadle, police said. Cadle, 69, went missing in January 2015. He suffered from dementia and other medical problems, police said. His car was found in July 2015 in a desert area near State Route 85 and Buckeye Hills Drive in Buckeye, about nine miles northwest of where his remains were discovered, police said. Officers from several agencies Joseph Cadle searched the area and were unable to locate Cadle, police said. Last month, the Buckeye Police Department received a call about human remains, and the Medical Examiner’s Office was able to positively identify them as Cadle, police said.

Woman crashes car into Avondale canal View report

No injuries were reported after a woman crashed her car into a canal at about 6 a.m. Sunday near 99th Avenue and Thomas Road in Avondale, police said. Police were called to the scene at about 6:25 a.m. and the 20-year-old woman, who was the only person in the car, had already climbed out of the canal, said Officer Ray Emmett, a spokesman with the Avondale Police Department. The woman was driving a Honda Civic northbound on 99th Avenue when a truck going southbound veered into her lane, Emmett said. She swerved her car to avoid the truck and overcorrected, spinning out into the canal, he said. Impairment isn’t believed to be a factor in the crash, Emmett said.

View report

A 22-year-old Phoenix man was arrested Monday after allegedly shooting another man during an altercation at a Tolleson apartment complex, police said. Police were called at about noon in reference to shots fired at an apartment complex near 87th Avenue and Van Buren Street, said Sgt. Obed Gaytan, a spokesman for the Tolleson Police Department. Upon arrival, police found a 20-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his calf, Gaytan said. After a quick search of the complex, police found Carlos Humberto Garcia, who was arrested after a foot pursuit, Gaytan said. The two men were involved in a verbal altercation at the apartment complex when Humberto Garcia allegedly pulled out a gun and fired at the ground. The bullet ricocheted and hit the victim in the leg, Gaytan said. Humberto Garcia faces charges of endangerment, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, disorderly conduct, reckless discharge of a deadly weapon, unlawful discharge of a firearm within city limits and possession of a stolen firearm, Gaytan said.

Two people were arrested after a home invasion at about 5:20 p.m. Feb. 12 near Yuma Road and Cotton Lane in Goodyear, police said.

Tax revenues increase miscalculated The story “W.V. retail sales growing” on Page 1 of the Feb. 10 West Valley View contained an error. Goodyear’s retail sales tax revenues increase from January through November 2015 was 5.8 percent. The View regrets the errors.

No serious injuries were reported, said Lisa Kutis, a spokeswoman for the Goodyear Police Department. The investigation is ongoing and no additional information is available at this time, Kutis said.

One man has critical injuries and another was taken into custody after a gun went off late Sunday night at an Avondale home, police said. The shooting happened at about 11:30 p.m. near 119th Avenue and MC85, said Officer Ray Emmett, a spokesman with the Avondale Police Department. Two men, 18 and 19 years old, were handling the gun when it discharged and hit the 19-year-old in the upper body, he said.

The victim was transported to a hospital with critical injuries, but was later upgraded to stable condition, Emmett said. The 18-year-old was arrested and faces minor charges, Emmett said. “It appears to be an accidental discharge,” he said. “We’re still waiting to speak to the victim if he makes it through to find out exactly what happened, as far as any other charges or anything.”

Cameras (From Page A1) a racial profiling case was brought against MCSO by the American Civil Liberties Union. In October 2014, Arpaio went back to court and asked the judge to amend the order to allow body cameras instead, he said. Dash cameras are a technology from the 1990s, and cost a lot more than body cameras, plus they have limited recording ability, Sheridan said. The body cameras can be clipped on multiple locations, but it’s MCSO’s policy that they be worn above the collar for maximum visibility. The camera and microphone are combined on a device that’s about the size of a large pen and attach to either a headpiece, glasses or sunglasses, which are included. A battery pack is fastened to the deputy’s chest and lasts about nine hours. Recording will start when deputies interact with the public or initiate a traffic stop, and there will be consequences if a deputy continues to forget to turn on the camera, Sheridan said. “We’re going to give deputies a grace period of about 60 days or so to learn that muscle memory,” he said. “Don’t forget, it’s brand new technology and a lot of deputies have been doing their jobs for many years without having to turn the camera on when they make a traffic stop or get out and talk with the public.” Last year, Maricopa County deputies had about 32,000 encounters with the public, Arpaio said. He’s urging his deputies to carry on as usual in light of recent published reports that show police body cameras can have a negative impact on the number of arrests or traffic stops conducted by officers because they may be wary of being filmed. “Body cams likely became necessary due to the erosion of the public trust,”

Arpaio said. “People no longer seem to trust not only law enforcement but the media and politicians.” He warns against trusting technology too much, though, because cameras cannot replace human beings. “What body cams show is only a portion of a larger picture,” Sheridan said. “Before the media or public passes judgment of a deputy or suspect seen on body cam video, it is best to wait for the entire picture to emerge, including video, audio, context and witness reports.” Videos requested by the public will have minimal redaction, Sheridan said. “We have an opinion from our counsel that as long as the deputy sheriff is there legally, that faces and things do not need to be redacted, except for juveniles,” he said. Cameras will be used to document the behavior of both officers and citizens, including use-of-force incidents. Sergeants are required to make random monthly reviews of the recordings for every deputy on their squad, Sheridan said. The Bureau of Internal Oversight will also review videos on a random basis for quality control and to make sure deputies are complying with policy and treating the public appropriately, he said. Videos cannot be edited by deputies in any way, even if they forget to turn them off while using the restroom, Sheridan said. In that case, the deputy will have to write a memo to his supervisor and send it up the chain of command to determine if the recording can be cut out of the video, he said. Only the body camera coordinator has final authority to erase footage, Sheridan said. “It’s a very, very lengthy process, and certainly embarrassing. You don’t want to forget to turn that camera off — just as importantly as you’re not going to want to forget to turn it on,” he said.

Olympians (From Page A1) about it. We already had it set in stone that if the score got out of hand either way, we’d just stop scoring. I wanted it to be a two-point or four-point game.” The score never became an issue as each side battled back and forth, keeping the game close nearly the entire game. Morris said creating bonds is what the event was all about. “I want the special needs kids to be an active part of the school,” he said. “To be a part of the school where the general population knows their name or their face. They can start that relationship by saying, ‘Hey, I saw you play basketball.’ There’s a conversation [starter] between the two. That’s what’s important to me. “We had two or three athletes that knew how to ham it up for the crowd, which was great. That’s going to solidify some relationships down the road for

them. They’re going to have the [general population] coming up to them and asking about their game.” Carlos Ortiz scored five points for the Agua Fria team, and said he enjoyed running up and down the court and shooting. Ortiz said the crowd really made the game exciting. The student body provided a fantastic atmosphere for the game, Morris said. “When you talked to the students, it was great,” he said. “[They said] it was so much fun just watching and had a great time. That’s always great to hear.” The success of the event has made it possible to keep it going for future school years, Morris said. “Obviously, staff was very excited how it came out,” he said. “We’ll definitely keep it an annual thing. Next year, we’ll go to Ironwood, and then see if we can invite another team, try and give the same experience.” Shane McOwen can be reached at smcowen@westvalleyview.com or Twitter @ShaneMcOwen.

Education will be the focus when Avondale and Goodyear come together for an annual community cultural parade and festival. The fifth annual Tale of Two Cities Parade and Festival will be from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, with a West Valley educator leading the parade and a first-time education expo at the festival. Officials from both cities agreed that “Celebrating the World of Education” would be the theme of this year’s event, according to Stacey Lindsay, who is event coordinator as part of her job with Goosebump Marketing. In determining the theme, “both cities look for something that connects the two cities and something they feel is outstanding,” Lindsay said. Serving as grand marshal of the parade will be Betsy Hargrove, who oversees 10 schools in Avondale and Goodyear as superintendent of the Avondale Elementary School District. Hargrove’s “Kids at Hope” program, a philosophy that supports a child’s success, will be represented with one of the parade floats as pupils and teachers from the district lead the march, Lindsay said. Among the 90 parade units will be floats from each city and marching bands from Desert Edge High School in Goodyear and Agua Fria High School in Avondale. The parade’s multicultural flavor will be represented with street performances by a Chinese dragon from Dynamic Wushu, the Phoenix Pipe Band and Ballet Folklorico Esperanza. Traditional parade elements will include the Shriners driving their go-carts and city officials, county supervisors and state legislators in convertibles. The two-hour parade symbolically links the neighboring cities on the one-mile route, stepping off at 10 a.m. at Goodyear Community Park, 3151 N. Litchfield Road, Goodyear, and traveling east along Thomas Road from Litchfield Road to Dysart Road in Avondale. The parade ends near the southeast corner of the campus of Estrella Mountain Community College, 3000 N. Dysart Road, Avondale, where the festival will be open from noon to 3 p.m. Admission is free. The festival starts with a naturalization ceremony for 100 new U.S. citizens who will ride through the parade in a London bus as they are transported to the

The ceremony’s keynote speech will be delivered by Dawn Wallace, a naturalized citizen herself who is an education policy adviser to Gov. Doug Ducey. The color guard for the naturalization ceremony, as well as the parade, will be provided by Luke Air Force Base. “We always have a large military group,” said Lindsay, noting that military vehicles and floats from the parade will be on display during the festival.

OUR VIEWPOINT

McCOY’S OPINION — Cagle Cartoons

EDITORIAL

Sheriff takes credit for court mandate Leave it to the self proclaimed America’s toughest sheriff to make a court ordered mandate sound like his idea. Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio announced in a Feb. 11 press conference that all sheriff’s deputies are being outfitted with body cameras to improve productivity and accountability while on patrol. While taxpayers are getting a heck of a break on the body cameras themselves ($1,113 for all 700 instead of apiece), maintenance ($863,570 a year to maintain the cameras and download videos) and infrastructure costs ($33,000 for fiber optic cables) are nothing to sneeze at. Regardless of the costs, the trend of outfitting law enforcement officers with body cameras is sweeping the country and it’s probably a good idea — not only for the person being filmed but for the person wearing the camera as well. But it wasn’t his idea. Because of his penchant for racial profiling, a judge ordered him in 2013 to outfit his deputies’ patrol vehicles with dash cams, but the following year, Arpaio asked the judge to amend the order to allow body cameras instead. Presumably because dash cameras are outdated and cost a lot more than body cameras. Not exactly his style, it’s only taxpayers’ money, but who knows? Maybe after wasting thousands and thousands of taxpayer dollars on avoidable lawsuits, he really is thinking about his constituents’ pockets. Stranger things have happened, but we digress. Fast forward two years and it’s finally happening with Arpaio tooting his own horn. “Initially, I was a little reluctant about these cameras, being an old-time guy,” he said during the press conference. “One thing that gnawed at me is I have to realize that we’re in a different ballgame now.” We agree, it is a different ballgame for him but not because he’s keeping up with the times. It’s a different ballgame for him because he’s keeping up with the court ordered mandate, something he usually dismisses. But in typical Arpaio fashion, he spins a court loss in his favor telling the public he was “a little reluctant” about the cameras as if he had some choice in the matter. Telling the public that when he thought about the world we live in, “the different ballgame” we were now playing, he decided to put on a glove and get in the game as if he had some choice in the matter. It probably would have happened eventually but without the court order, the Sheriff’s Office may have been able to procure some state grants to help offset the costs to county taxpayers. Then again, one could argue that he’s already offset the costs by actually following the court order instead of his usual game plan of ignoring it and winding up back in court.

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

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.

Gun control Editor: Nobody should be able to buy a gun, borrow a gun, inherit a gun, be given a gun, without being background checked, period. No exceptions! The gun-show loophole needs to be closed. Private sales of guns should require the buyer to go to a gun store, pay a fee, and get a background check before being able to buy a gun from a private party. All guns should be locked away in a gun safe when the owner is not at home. These measures, along with many others, should have been passed a long time ago to help ensure responsible gun-ownership. The last thing I would ever want to happen is someone breaking into my house and stealing a gun and going off and killing some innocent with it. I would feel partially responsible, even though I was not the one pulling the trigger. If a kid got a hold of my

gun and killed themselves with it, either on purpose or accident, I would feel ill, knowing full well if it was simply locked up when I was away, the needless death may never have happened. Responsible gun ownership is something the GOP should take by the horns and make their own. This is not a difficult subject. Patrick Orr Avondale

Reader excels at teaching history Editor: Wow, we have a good History Teacher in Ms. Laura Rivas! I’m a graduate of Buckeye Union High School, when it was the only school in the District. Mr. Agee was the American History teacher. My Senior year at A.S.U., I came back to B.U.H.S. to do my Student teaching, Mr. Agee was my adviser. I graduated from A.S.U. with a double major, History and Math. Ms. Rivas you’ve given the readers as much information about Mexico’s history as “American” students get in a U.S. History class. If you left anything out, it was how housing use to be segregated into 1954 for most of Arizona. For Buckeye I’m under the impression

that Blacks lived in Allentown, Mexicans lived in Valencia and Whites lived in Buckeye proper. If I’m wrong someone who has the facts correct me. My parents didn’t move to the White tank subdivision until the summer of ’59. I saw some strange things in Phoenix in ’54. Four families on Our block were no longer Spanish, they were now Mexican! In school we now had black students, Mexican students and Indian students! I thought they all must have just moved into the area. My parents had to explain to my brother and I about the court decision. Laura, I’ve taught at 8 different schools all in Arizona. I believe we had somebody named Rivas at everyone of those schools.

what I said about Russia. Iran is a strategic ally of Putin and the two countries have several treaties together. And, the fact that Russia was the one who gave them most of their uranium first makes it easy to consider that they would do it again. Until Iran does something that totally irks ol’ Vlad, it remains a fact that the juice could start flowing again. Keep a watch out. Oh, and I don’t listen to Kerry.

The diet of Lent Editor: This Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, the 40-day period before Easter, when many Christians abstain from animal foods in remembrance of Jesus’ 40 days of fasting in the desert before launching his ministry. But meat-free Lent is much more than a symbol of religious devotion to Christ. It helps reduce the risk of chronic disease, environmental degradation, and animal abuse. Dozens of medical reports have linked consumption of animal products with elevated risk of heart failure, stroke, cancer, and other killer diseases. A 2007 U.N. report named meat production as the largest source of greenhouse gases and water pollution. Undercover investigations have documented farm animals being beaten, caged, crowded, deprived,

quite right. I happened to be on my scheduled two days off and on 7 December 2010 I was so weak that I barely could get out of my sofa chair without help. My next stop was I.C.U. at Good Samaritan Medical Center where I suddenly; early one morning, found myself in this unbelievably white room having no corners in the presence of two human looking male angels. It was understood that one symbolized a doctor and the other my escort to heaven. I was biting at the bits to go yet frustratingly my opinion meant nothing. Bottom line was: Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not quite ready and must stay for a while longer â&#x20AC;Ś Back in I.C.U.

The city of Buckeye is making water plans for the future after acquiring the assets and customers of Valencia Water Co. from Global Water Resources Inc. last summer. The plans involve creating a new water master plan. The city began providing water services to 7,000 new customers on July 15, 2015, the day after the acquisition of Valencia Water, said Dave Nigh, water resources director for Buckeye. The acquisition expands the city’s water services to a total of about 19,000 customers, Nigh said. At the time of the acquisition, the city entered into a transition agreement with Global, Nigh said. The agreement provides that Global continue to do the billing and meter reading of its former customers’ accounts for the city and handle the customer service calls as well. The city agreed to that because it is in the process of implementing the installation of a new computer system that will go live in July. The agreement gives the city the option to continue using Global to do the billing, metering and calls for two years, he said. Customers can still call the city directly about their water service, he said. However, the number on the bill goes to Global’s service, which handles the customer calls. Ron Fleming, CEO of Global Water Resources Inc., said Global has used a third-party vendor to do its billing, metering and customer service calls for some time. From Global’s perspective, the agreement with the city made sense because Global had a long-term agreement with the vendor and there would have been some financial considerations to end it early, Fleming said. He said the vendor provides services to dozens of other utilities across the country. He said Global thought keeping the same system for a time would benefit the customers because they are familiar with it. Nigh said one reason the city acquired Valencia Water Co., one of the utilities owned by Global, was to “allow Buckeye to be more in control of its destiny.” He said Valencia Water served residents in what could have been described geographically as the “doughnut hole” or center of the city of Buckeye’s water service area. If a large company such as Pepsi, for example, became interested in locating a plant in Buckeye, the city could deal directly with Pepsi on economic development issues such as water, he said.

ROBERT ROSALES, plant operator, and Eddie Solis, production supervisor, manage Buckeye’s newly acquired water filtration system. The city recently acquired all assets from Valencia Water Co., a private water company that served residents primarily south of Interstate 10. Another issue the city is working on related to the acquisition is the creation of a water master plan for its entire service area. In the acquisition, the city acquired all of Valencia’s “material assets” including all pipes, about 45 properties, about 20 wells, storage facilities, water production and treatment facilities, warehouse, office, vehicles, equipment and water rights, according to the city’s website. The city has hired Phoenix-based Carollo Engineers to update the water resources master plan. Carollo will review the new equipment to find the “most efficient way to tie the two systems together,” Nigh said. He said the plan will examine system efficiencies

related to proposed development for the next five years. The engineering studies will help plan a “source of redundancy” for its wells, he said. If one well “goes down,” another well can provide “back up” service. Buckeye is large and has 675-square-planning miles, he said. The city has to study where, for example, would be the most efficient place to build a new water treatment center. “The size of the city already puts us at a disadvantage” in terms of staff vehicle miles traveling from one place to another, for example, he said.

Goodyear Police Department issues phone scam warning by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

Goodyear police are warning about a recent phone scam where the caller claims to be with the police department. A resident received a call from a local 623 area code and the person claimed to be Sgt. Tracy Nelson with the Goodyear Police Department’s Bench Warrant Department, which doesn’t exist, said Lisa Kutis, a spokeswoman for the Goodyear Police Department. The caller gave the resident an old court address of 185 N. 145th Ave. and told her

she must pay by loading $500 on a cash card or be arrested, Kutis said. “Luckily, this victim saw a Goodyear officer and asked if it was legit before turning over the card,” she said. “Once a card is purchased and money is deposited onto these money cards, if the victim releases the card number to the caller, the money vanishes almost immediately. It is frustrating to see people victimized and scammed out of their hard-earned money, sometimes life savings being stolen.” Kutis said the police will never call demanding someone make a payment and

threaten arrest, and neither will the Internal Revenue Service or utility companies, which are other common phone scams. “If you receive a call of this nature, do not engage the caller in conversation, hang up immediately and report the call to the police,” Kutis said. Some tips to avoid becoming a victim include: • Be suspicious of unsolicited phone calls. The callers sound official and often have personal information, which makes them seem credible. Callers also use intimidation tactics to get your money.

Business Briefcase by Shane McOwen staff writer

Welcome to the Business Briefcase, readers! Today is supposed to be 90 degrees, which is a bummer. It’s too early for that. It’s also your Briefcase host’s birthday, which is not a bummer. Unfortunately, I cannot divulge any age-related information, as it’s sealed tight in the Briefcase vaults. Classified. What’s not classified is a few wonderful tidbits of business news I’ve stumbled across in the last week or so. Let’s get to it, shall we? We Olive & Wine Bar is now open at 1721 N. Dysart Road, Suite A101, in Avondale, in the Shops at Alameda Crossing. The retailer and tasting room celebrated a soft opening Feb. 13, and will have a grand opening celebration later in March. Shane McOwen We Olive & Wine Bar offers locally sourced extra virgin olive oils, vinegars and artisan wines, and also sells various spreads and dips, as well as olive oil soaps and lotions. The retailer will also offer tasting events on location once the store officially gets settled in. The Avondale location, owned by Vaughn and Karen Watson, marks We Olive & Wine Bar’s 15th store in the country, and first in Arizona. There are 11 in California and one in Reno, Nev., Bee Cave, Texas, and New York. And yes, Bee Cave is a real place. It’s just outside of Austin, Texas. The current hours of operation are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Those are temporary until after the grand opening celebration in March. For information, call 623-207-1216 or email info. avondale@weolive.com. Speaking of soft openings, Holiday Inn Express and Suites welcomed one of its own Monday at 445 S. Watson Road in Buckeye. The hotel is now accepting reservations for Feb. 25 and later. The four-story hotel has 88 rooms, including 25 suites. Pets are welcome in select rooms for a fee. For information, call 623-386-8550. In Avondale, Copper Springs Hospital construction is coming to a close at the northeast corner of McDowell Road and 107th Avenue. The signage is up, the parking lot is paved and generally, the outside looks ready to go, but the facility is not quite open yet. Once complete, Copper Springs will be a 72-bed behavioral health hospital that will offer inpatient and outpatient mental health and addiction treatment. The hospital is still planning to open in the first quarter of 2016, so look for that near the end of March. That’s all for this week, folks. Send questions, tips or comments to smcowen@westvalleyview.com. I received a ton of emails last week, but I like to get solid answers before I reply, so bear with me. Enjoy the warm weather and take care. See you all right here next week.

Buckeye fleet earns honors Buckeye received ninth place in the 100 Best Fleets in the Americas for 2015. It’s the seventh straight year the city has received the commendation, and is an improvement over last year’s 52nd placement. The rankings are based on fleet composition of conventional vehicles versus electric and alternative fuels, emissions, policy, planning, fleet utilization, education, employee involvement and executive quality. Buckeye’s fleet was also named to the top 50 green fleet programs in the nation, ranking 49th. It comes as the result of using greener methods, such as the use of synthetic transmission fluid that extends service intervals, reclaiming wastes such as oil, coolant, batteries, tires and other materials, as well as using bio-diesel fuels.

Title agency names branch manager Pioneer Title Agency’s West Valley branch has announced that Sharee Turner, a real estate veteran with more than a dozen years of experience, has been hired as the branch manager. Turner, a resident of Buckeye, will be responsible for managing staff, serving clients and closing transactions. In addition, Laurie Craig, also of Buckeye, has been hired as an assistant escrow officer at the branch. Craig has more than 25 years of experience to assist with duties such as marketing efforts and customer service initiatives.

Voters in Litchfield Park are receiving ballots for a once-in-a-generation election that will allow two utilities to continue to do business in the city. The procedural vote known as a franchise election is being done with mail-in ballots, which were sent to about 3,500 registered voters last week. The election is necessary to renew a contract that permits Arizona Public Service Co. and Southwest Gas Corp. to use Litchfield Park’s rights of way to operate and maintain the utility systems.

Ballots must be returned by mail or dropped off at Litchfield Park City Hall, 214 W. Wigwam Blvd., so they are received by March 8, according to City Clerk Carla Reece. There are no polling places for the election. Reece said Litchfield Park historically has good voter participation, but she questioned whether voters would be engaged in the franchise election. The ballot includes two questions — one each for APS and Southwest Gas. The franchise agreement gives the utilities the right to use streets, alleys and other rights of way for the next 25 years, a

length of time established by the Arizona Constitution. When the utilities conflict with city street projects, the utilities are required to relocate without cost to the city. The vote will not have an impact on utility bills, city officials said. According to information provided by APS, the agreement is important to help the city plan, build and maintain streets in coordination with the utilities and assures that the utilities are using the rights of way in compliance with city regulations.

Domestic violence support groups

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. Fundraisers that are held at restaurants where only a portion of the proceeds benefits the charity or nonprofit will not be considered. 9 Days a Week calendar items print on a spaceavailable basis; the only way to guarantee that an item will print is to purchase an advertisement.

Paid Listings for 9 Days

The 9 Days a Week calendar now may contain paid listings which are clearly marked by “Advertisement” across the top and bottom of paid listings and appear in a screened box. Submissions for paid items may be made by calling the classified advertising dept. of the West Valley View at 623-535-8439. Available sizes and prices: 2 inch ad = $80.00, 3 inch ad = $120.00.

Pet of the Week You wanted pets, we give you pets. With this weekly feature, readers can view profiles of adoptable cats and dogs of various shapes and sizes from Glendale’s Sun Valley Animal Shelter. Most of the animals that will have their mugs shown in this space will be canines and felines that are a little harder to place because of size, age or a special need, but are wonderful pets nonetheless. Each animal has its own character, so if you’re smitten by an animal in this column, head down to the shelter and see for yourself. There’s no guarantee it will still be there, but if it’s not, maybe the shelter has another animal that fits your needs and personality. Here’s this week’s Pet of the Week: NAME: Tiger SEX: Male AGE: 2 years old BREED: Dachshund/Boston terrier mix OTHER: Tiger is an absolute bundle of laughs and fun, goofy times.

have company. Tiger loves to play and have fun, and goes everywhere with a toy at the ready. In fact, he usually walks with a ball or rope toy in his mouth. Tiger’s breed is a bit of a mystery at the shelter. However, one thing is for certain; Tiger is a unique guy. Tiger has a bit of winter weight and is currently on a workout plan for it, and will need regular exercise to maintain a healthy weight. And don’t worry, he is great on a leash and more than ready to play tug of war or fetch. Tiger is a fun guy who is looking for someone who likes to play and have fun as much as he does. To adopt Tiger or other pets from Glendale’s Sun Valley Animal Shelter, the West Valley’s largest no-kill animal shelter, call 623872-7941 or visit the website www.sunvalleypets.org. The shelter is at 7150 N. 110th Ave., Glendale, one mile west of Loop 101, northwest of the intersection of Glendale Avenue and Glen Harbor Boulevard. Hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays. The shelter is closed Mondays.

Goodwin, Curtis, Goodwin, Sullivan, Udall & Schwab, PLC City Attorney FRANCHISE AGREEMENT BETWEEN ARIZONA PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY AND CITY OF LITCHFIELD PARK, ARIZONA Section 1. – Grant of Franchise: There is hereby granted to Arizona Public Service Company, a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of the State of Arizona (herein called “Grantee”), its successors and assigns, a franchise (herein called the “Franchise”) to construct, maintain and operate its electrical system, as defined herein, upon, over, along, across and under the present and future public rights-of-way. These rights-of-way include but are not limited to streets, alleys, ways and highways in the City of Litchfield Park, Arizona (herein called “City”). Grantee’s system includes electric power lines, together with all necessary or desirable appurtenances, including, but not limited to, poles, towers, wires, cables, conduits, transmission lines, transformers, switches and communication lines for its own use. This Franchise is for Grantee’s use of City’s public rights-of-way to supply and deliver electric energy to City, its successors, the inhabitants thereof, and all individuals and entities either within or beyond the limits thereof, for all purposes. Any street lighting service furnished by Grantee to City or to any street lighting improvement district within City shall be the subject of a separate agreement and shall not be governed by the provisions of this Franchise. This Franchise includes the right to use public rights-of-way for the location of communication lines and appurtenances owned and operated by Grantee incidental to supplying electric energy under this Franchise. This Franchise does not include the right to use public rights-of-way for one-way transmissions directly to customers, users or subscribers of video programming, if any, which is required for the selection of or response to video programming. For purposes of the foregoing, the term “video programming” means programming provided by or generally considered comparable to programming provided by a television broadcast station. Grantee agrees that if Grantee uses or leases to others, the wires, towers, cables or lines for any purpose other than supplying electric services, before such use or lease, Grantee or Grantee’s lessee shall apply for and obtain a separate license from City. City shall not be liable to Grantee should Grantee construct facilities pursuant to this Franchise in an area over which City has erroneously exercised jurisdiction. Section 2. – Grantee’s Compliance with City Code; Plans Submitted for Approval; City Construction near Grantee’s Facilities: City expressly reserves unto itself, subject to the limitations of the Constitution and laws of Arizona, the right to ensure the safety and welfare of the public, including without limitation to, pass and enforce ordinances to protect the public from danger or inconvenience in the operation of any work performed in the public rights-of-way, including without limitation enforcement of this Franchise. All construction under this Franchise shall be performed in accordance with applicable codes and ordinances of City with respect to such public rights-of-way. Such construction shall be completed within a reasonable time. Any Blue Stake or similar markings of Grantee or a contractor of Grantee shall be completed according to the Arizona Revised Statutes and Arizona Corporation Commission regulations. Before Grantee makes any installations in the public rights-of-way, Grantee shall upon request or direction from City obtain a construction permit and submit for approval a map showing the location of such proposed installations to the designated City official. City and Grantee agree and understand that there may be instances when Grantee is required to make repairs that are of an emergency nature. Grantee shall notify City prior to such repairs, to the extent practicable, and shall obtain the necessary permits in a reasonable time after notification, showing the work performed in the public rights-of-way. If City authorizes either directly or through a contractor any construction project adjacent to or near Grantee’s facilities operated pursuant to this Franchise, City shall include in all such construction specifications, bids, and contracts, a requirement that the contractor or his designee must comply with the overhead power line safety laws (A.R.S. § 40-360.41 et. seq. as amended). Section 3. – Construction and Relocation of Grantee’s Facilities; Payment: All facilities installed or constructed pursuant to this Franchise shall be so located or relocated and so erected as to minimize the interference with traffic, or other authorized uses over, under or through the public rights-of-way. Furthermore, Grantee shall not install, construct, maintain or use its facilities in a manner that damages or interferes with any existing facilities of another utility located in the public rights-of-way and agrees to relocate its facilities, if necessary, to accommodate another facility relocation that has a prior rights interest in the public rights-of-way. At the beginning of each calendar year, City and Grantee shall provide one another with a general schedule of its known future construction projects in order that construction projects may be coordinated to the extent practicable. Neither party shall finalize the design of any facility without providing the other party notice as set forth in Section 15 below, and a reasonable opportunity to comment. If either party identifies a potential conflict between their existing facilities and the other party’s proposed facilities, said party shall immediately notify the other party of such conflict and the parties shall use their best efforts to resolve such conflict. Activities related to the construction of Grantee’s facilities within the rights-of-way such as traffic control, backfilling, compaction and paving, and the location or relocation of lines and related facilities shall be subject to regulation by City. Grantee shall keep accurate records of the location of all facilities in the public rights-of-way and furnish them to City upon request. Upon completion of new or relocation construction of underground facilities in the public rights-of-way, Grantee shall, upon request or direction from City, provide City’s Engineer with corrected drawings showing the location of the underground facilities in those cases where the actual location differs significantly from the proposed location. Grantee shall provide to City, upon City’s request, the actual location of such new or relocated facilities in the public rights-of-way in an electronic format. Such format shall conform to utility industry best-practice standards. Grantee shall be required to obtain and pay all required fees and charges for construction permits and inspections of all non-electrical transmission or distribution facilities constructed within City, including but not limited to, office buildings, storage buildings, or repair shops. Permits for electrical transmission or distribution facilities will be issued at no cost under this Franchise. A. If City requires Grantee to relocate Grantee’s facilities which are located in private easements obtained by Grantee prior to City’s acquisition of said property from which the facilities must be relocated, the entire cost of relocating Grantee’s facilities (including the cost of purchasing a new private easement if necessary) shall be borne by City. City shall also bear the entire cost of all subsequent relocations of the relocated facilities required by City, until such time as City condemns or purchases Grantee’s private easement. B. Except as covered in Paragraph A above, Grantee shall bear the entire cost of relocating its facilities located on public rights-of-way, the relocation of which is necessary for City’s or a contractor of City carrying out of City’s governmental functions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Grantee is requested to perform work of a temporary nature on a governmental project to relieve construction problems which could be relieved by other means, the cost of said temporary work will be borne by City or City’s contractor working on the governmental project. Governmental functions are those duties imposed on City, where the duties involve a general public benefit, not in the nature of a corporate or business undertaking for the corporate benefit and interest of City. Governmental functions include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. Any and all improvements to City’s public rights-of-way; 2. Establishing and maintaining domestic water systems, sanitary sewers, storm drains, and related facilities; 3. Establishing and maintaining municipal parks, parking spaces, parkways, pedestrian malls, or grass, shrubs, trees and other vegetation for the purpose of landscaping any street or public property; 4.

The relocation of Grantee’s facilities necessary to carry out the exercise of the City’s police power for urban renewal. C. City will bear the entire cost of relocating any of Grantee’s facilities, the relocation of which is necessitated by the construction of improvements by or on behalf of City in furtherance of a proprietary function. All functions of City which are not governmental are proprietary. D. If City participates in the cost of relocating Grantee’s facilities for any reason, the cost of relocation to City shall not include any upgrade or improvement of Grantee’s facilities as they existed prior to relocation. E. City will not exercise its right to require Grantee’s facilities to be relocated in an unreasonable or arbitrary manner, or to avoid its obligation under the Franchise. City agrees to notify Grantee during the planning and design of City’s projects in rights-of-way that may require relocation of Grantee’s facilities and to coordinate its construction plans and schedules with Grantee to determine the most cost-effective design to mitigate Grantee’s cost to relocate its facilities. F. City agrees it will not require Grantee to relocate its facilities located within the public rights-of-way without providing Grantee adequate space within the rights-of-way to relocate the facilities that must be moved. G. City will not plant any tree that can normally grow to a height of more than 25 feet under or adjacent to Grantee’s overhead power lines in the public rights-of-way.

All said vegetation management work is to be done at Grantee’s expense and pursuant to A.N.S.I. Standard A300. Section 4. – Indemnification: City, its departments, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns, shall in no way be liable or responsible for any accident or damage that may occur in the construction, operation or maintenance by Grantee of its appurtenances hereunder, except to the extent such accident or damage may be proximately caused by the negligent or willful and wanton acts or omissions of City, its departments, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns. The acceptance of this Franchise shall be deemed an agreement on the part of Grantee that Grantee shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, defend, indemnify, and hold City harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, suits, damages, judgments, expenses and losses including, but not limited to attorney fees and court costs relating to, arising out of, or alleged to have resulted from the exercise of this Franchise by Grantee; provided, however, that such claims, expenses and losses are not the result of the willful misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of City. Grantee, so long as it maintains, operates or owns facilities, within rights-of-way of City, at its own cost and expense, shall keep, or cause to be kept, in force insurance against claims and liability for personal injury, death and property damage arising from the construction, operation or maintenance by Grantee of its facilities in a reasonable amount sufficient to insure Grantee’s obligations under this Section, with City named as an additional insured. Grantee shall provide City with 30 days written notice of material change, cancellation or nonrenewal by the insurer. The policy shall be primary and noncontributing with any policy of City. Section 5. – Restoration of Rights-of-Way: Whenever Grantee shall cause any opening or alteration whatsoever to be made for any purpose in any public right-of-way, the work shall be completed in compliance with Section 7-16-4 of the City Code, as that section may be amended from time to time.

Grantee shall not, however, pay said franchise fee on revenues charged to Grantee’s retail customers by third party electric service providers. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7, said payments shall be in lieu of any and all fees, charges or exaction of any kind otherwise assessed by City in any way associated with Grantee’s use of the rights-of-way, including but not limited to, the construction of Grantee’s facilities hereunder or for inspections thereof during the term of this Franchise. At any time during the term of this franchise, the City Council may adopt a resolution changing the franchise fee to a sum between zero percent (0%.) and two percent (2%). Upon adoption of the aforementioned resolution, City must submit the notice of resolution in writing to the Grantee at: Arizona Public Service Company, Office of the Corporate Secretary, 400 North 5th Street, M.S. 8602, Phoenix, Arizona 85004, Grantee will have 30 days, after receiving said written notice from City, to implement the change to the franchise fee percentage. Grantee will not be required to retroactively collect, pay, or refund franchise fees due to improper notice, or any delay in providing notice to Grantee by City. For the purpose of verifying amounts payable hereunder, the books and records of Grantee shall be subject to inspection by duly authorized officers or representatives of City at reasonable times. Payment as described in the preceding paragraphs shall be payable in quarterly amounts within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Franchise, if during the term of this Franchise Grantee enters into any electric franchise with any other municipality in Arizona during the term of this Franchise that provides for a higher percentage of Grantee’s revenues than two percent (2%) or includes more categories of revenues than set forth in this Franchise, Grantee shall notify City Council of such higher percentage or expanded revenue base. City Council, at its sole discretion, shall have the option to, as applicable: (i) increase Grantee’s franchise fee to the higher percentage rate; or (ii) include other revenue categories set forth in the franchise agreement Grantee has with the other entity of this State. Following City Council’s action, Grantee agrees to henceforth pay to City a new franchise fee at the higher franchise percentage or to include the additional revenue categories. Section 7. – Additional Fees and Taxes: Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, Grantee shall pay, in addition to the payment provided in Section 6, the following charges, taxes and fees as established in a code or ordinance properly adopted by City: A.

Other charges, taxes or fees generally levied upon businesses by City, provided said charge, tax or fee is a flat fee per year and that the annual amount of such fee does not exceed the amount of similar fees paid by any other businesses operated within City. Section 8. – Term: This Franchise shall continue and exist for a period of twenty-five (25) years from March 15, 2013; provided, however, that either party may terminate this Franchise on its tenth anniversary by giving written notice of its intention to do so not less than one (1) year before the date of termination. If such notice is given for the purpose of negotiating a new franchise and such negotiation is successful, the party giving the notice of termination shall be responsible for the costs of the resulting franchise election. Section 9. – Franchise; Non-Exclusive: This Franchise is not exclusive, and nothing contained herein shall be construed to prevent City from granting other like or similar grants or privileges to any other person, firm or corporation. Section 10. – Conflicting Ordinances: Not withstanding any other provisions hereof, all ordinances and parts of ordinances in conflict with the provisions hereof, to the extent applicable to a franchised electric public service corporation, are hereby superseded. Section 11. – Independent Provisions: If any section, paragraph, clause, phrase or provision of this Franchise, shall be adjudged invalid or unconstitutional, the same shall not affect the validity of this Franchise as a whole or any part of the provisions hereof other than the part so adjudged to be invalid or unconstitutional.

Goodwin, Curtis, Goodwin, Sullivan, Udall & Schwab, PLC Abogada de la Ciudad CONTRATO DE CONCESION ENTRE ARIZONA PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY Y LITCHFIELD PARK, ARIZONA Sección 1. – Otorgamiento del la Concesión: Por medio del presente se otorga a Arizona Public Service Company, una sociedad constituida y organizada conforme a las leyes del Estado de Arizona (denominada en lo sucesivo la “Concesionaria”), a sus sucesores y cesionarios, una Concesión (denominada en lo sucesivo la “Concesión”) para construir, mantener y operar su sistema eléctrico, definido en el presente documento, en, sobre, a lo largo de, a través de, y debajo de los derechos de paso públicos presentes y futuros. Estos derechos de paso públicos incluyen pero no se limitan a las calles, callejones, vías, y carreteras en la ciudad de Litchfield Park, Arizona (denominada en lo sucesivo la “Ciudad”). El sistema de la Concesionaria incluye las redes de energía eléctrica, conjunto con todos los accesorios necesarios o deseables; que incluyen pero no se limitan a los postes, torres, cables, conductores, líneas de transmisión, transformadores, interruptores, y señales y líneas de comunicación para su utilización propia. Esta Concesión es para la utilización de la Concesionaria de los derechos de paso públicos de la Ciudad para suministrar y proveer energía eléctrica a la Ciudad, sus sucesores, los habitantes, y a todos los individuos y entidades dentro de o más allá de sus límites de la Ciudad, para todo propósito. Cualquier alumbrado público suministrado por la Concesionaria a la Ciudad o cualquier distrito de mejoría de alumbrado público será el tema de un contrato distinto y no será gobernado por las estipulaciones de esta Concesión. Esta Concesión incluye el derecho de utilizar los derechos de paso públicos para la localización de líneas de comunicación y accesorios poseído y operado por la Concesionaria relacionados a la suministración de energía eléctrica bajo esta Concesión. Esta concesión no incluye el derecho de utilizar los derechos de paso públicos para transmisiones de una vía directamente a los clientes, usuarios, o suscriptores de programación de video, si se requiera por la selección de o respuesta de la programación de video. Para los propósitos precedentes, el término “programación de video” significa programación proveída por o considerada generalmente comparable a la programación proveída por una estación de transmisión televisiva. La Concesionaria acepta que si la Concesionaria utilizara o alquilara a otros, los cables, torres, o líneas para cualquier propósito además que suministrar los servicios eléctricos, antes de tal uso o alquiler, la Concesionaria o el arrendatario de la Concesionaria solicitará y obtendrá una licencia separada de la Ciudad. La Ciudad no se considerará responsable a la Concesionaria si la Concesionaria construyera instalaciones conforme a esta Concesionaria en un área dónde la Ciudad ha ejercido la jurisdicción erróneamente. Sección 2. – Cumplimiento de la Concesionaria con el código de la Ciudad; Planes presentados para aprobación; Construcción de la Ciudad cerca de las Instalaciones de la Concesionaria: La Ciudad reserva expresamente a sí misma, sujeto a los límites de la Constitución y los leyes de Arizona, el derecho de asegurar la seguridad y bienestar del público, incluso sin límite a, aprobar y ejecutar ordenanzas para proteger el público del peligro o inconveniencia en la operación de cualquier trabajo hecho en los derechos de paso públicos, incluso sin límite la ejecución de esta Concesión. Toda construcción cumplida bajo esta Concesión será realizado de acuerdo con los códigos y ordenanzas aplicables de la Ciudad con relación a dichos derechos de paso públicos. Tal construcción debe ser cumplido dentro de una duración razonable. Cualquier Blue Stake o marcado similar de la Concesionaria o contratista de la Concesionaria deben ser cumplido en acuerdo con los Estatutos Revisados de Arizona y las regulaciones de la Comisión Corporativa de Arizona. Antes de que la Concesionaria realice alguna instalación en los derechos de paso públicos, la Concesionaria, a la solicitud o dirección de la Ciudad, debe obtener un permiso de construcción y presentar para aprobación un mapa señalando las ubicaciones de dichas instalaciones propuestas al funcionario designado de la Ciudad. La Ciudad y la Concesionaria están de acuerdo y entienden que habrían casos cuando la Concesionaria se requiere hacer las reparaciones de emergencia. La Concesionaria notificará a la Ciudad antes de tales reparaciones, en la medida de lo posible, y obtendrá los permisos necesarios en una duración razonable después de notificación, demostrando el trabajo cumplido en los derechos de paso públicos. Si la Ciudad autoriza directamente o por medio de un contratista algún proyecto de construcción al lado de o cerca de las instalaciones de la Concesionaria operado según esta Concesión, la Ciudad debe incluir en todas especificaciones de construcción, ofertas, y contratos, un requisito que el contratista o su persona designada debe acceder con las leyes de seguridad de línea de energía eléctrica (A.R.S. § 40-360.41 et. seq. como enmendadas). Sección 3. – Construcción y reubicación de las instalaciones de la Concesionaria; Pago; Todas las instalaciones, colocadas o construidas de acuerdo con esta Concesión, estarán ubicadas o reubicadas y construidas de tal manera que minimicen la interferencia con el tránsito u otros usos autorizados sobre, debajo de o a través de los derechos de paso. Además, la Concesionaria no debe instalar, construir, mantener, ni usar sus instalaciones de ninguna manera que daña o interfiere con las instalaciones existentes de otros servicios públicos ubicados en los derechos de paso públicos y si es necesario, consentir en reubicar sus instalaciones para adaptar otra reubicación de instalación que tiene un interés de derecho previo en los derechos de paso públicos. Al principio de cada año calendario, la Ciudad y la Concesionaria proveerán uno al otro con un horario general de sus proyectos de construcción futuros ya sabidos para que los proyectos de construcción puedan ser coordinados de manera practicable. Ningún parte finalizará el diseño de ningún proyecto sin proveerle al otro parte el aviso como presentado en la Sección 15 abajo, y una oportunidad razonable de comentar. Si cualquiera de los partes identifica un conflicto potencial entre las instalaciones existiendo y las instalaciones propuestas del otro parte, dicho parte le avisará inmediatamente al otro parte de tal conflicto y los partes utilizarán sus esfuerzas mejores para resolver dicho conflicto. Las actividades relacionadas a la construcción de las instalaciones de la Concesionaria dentro de los derechos de paso tal como control de tránsito, relleno, compactación y pavimentación, así como la ubicación o reubicación de las líneas de instalaciones concernientes serán reguladas por la Ciudad. La Concesionaria mantendrá los registros exactos de la ubicación de todas las instalaciones en los derechos de paso públicos y los entregará a la Ciudad, previa solicitud. Al término de la construcción nueva o de reubicación de las instalaciones subterráneos en los derechos de paso, la Concesionaria debe, a la solicitud o dirección de la Ciudad, entregar al ingeniero civil de la Ciudad, los planes corregidos que muestren la ubicación actual de las instalaciones subterráneas en los casos en que la ubicación actual sea diferente significativamente de la ubicación propuesta. La Concesionaria entregará, a la solicitud de la Ciudad, la ubicación real de tales instalaciones nuevas o reubicadas en los derechos de paso públicos en un formato electrónico. Tal formato se cumplirá con los estándares de mejor práctica de la industria de los servicios públicos. La Concesionaria se requerirá obtener y pagar todos pagos requeridos y las cobras para los permisos e inspecciones de todas las instalaciones de transmisión o distribución no eléctrica construidas dentro de la Ciudad, incluso pero no se limita a, los edificios de oficinas, los edificios de depósito, o talleres de reparaciones.

Si la Ciudad requiere que la Concesionaria reubique las instalaciones de propiedad que estén localizadas en derechos de paso privados obtenidos por la Concesionaria antes de la Ciudad adquiera dicha propiedad en la cual las instalaciones deban ser reubicadas, el costo total de la reubicación de las instalaciones de la Concesionaria (incluyendo el costo de adquisición de una nueva servidumbre de paso privada, de ser necesaria) será asumido por la Ciudad. La Ciudad también deberá asumir el costo total de las reubicaciones subsecuentes de las instalaciones reubicadas requeridas por la Ciudad, hasta el tiempo en que ésta expropie o adquiera el derecho de paso privado de la Concesionaria. B. Exceptuando lo incluido en el Párrafo A, la Concesionaria asumirá el costo total de la reubicación de sus instalaciones situadas en derechos de paso públicos, en el caso de que la reubicación resulte necesaria para que la Ciudad ejecute sus funciones de gobierno. No obstante el precedente, si la Concesionaria pide que haga trabajo de una naturaleza temporal en un proyecto gubernamental para aliviar los problemas de construcción que pueden ser aliviados por otro medio, el costo de dicho trabajo temporal será asumido por la Ciudad o contratista de la Ciudad trabajando en el proyecto gubernamental. Las funciones de gobierno son las obligaciones impuestas a la Ciudad, en que las actividades que realiza conllevan un beneficio al público general, sin tener la naturaleza de operación efectuada con fines de lucro o corporativas para el beneficio institucional e interés de la Ciudad. Las funciones gubernamentales incluyen, pero no se limitan a, las siguientes: 1. Todas mejoras realizadas a los derechos de paso de la Ciudad; 2. La instalación y mantenimiento de los servicios de agua, drenaje y alcantarillado residenciales e instalaciones relacionadas; 3. La construcción y mantenimiento de parques municipales, estacionamientos, centros comerciales para peatones, o plantación y cultivo de césped, arbustos, árboles, y otra vegetación con fines paisajísticos en cualquier calle o propiedad pública; 4.

La reubicación de las instalaciones de la Concesionaria necesaria para ejecutar la operación del poder de la policía de la Ciudad para la renovación urbana. C. La Ciudad asumirá el costo total de la reubicación de las instalaciones de la Concesionaria, cuando ésta resulte necesaria para la construcción de mejoras para la Ciudad o en beneficio de la misma en obras de ampliación de una función de propietaria. Todas funciones de la Ciudad que no son gubernamentales, son propietarias. D. Si la Ciudad sufraga el costo de reubicación de las instalaciones de la Concesionaria por cualquier razón, tales gastos no incluirán la modernización o mejoras de las instalaciones de la Concesionaria si éstas no existían antes de la reubicación. E. La Ciudad no ejercerá de modo irracional o arbitrario su derecho de exigir a la Concesionaria la reubicación de sus instalaciones, o evitar su obligación bajo la Concesión. La Ciudad agradece a avisar la Concesionaria durante la planificación y diseño de los proyectos de la Ciudad en los derechos de paso que requieren la reubicación de las instalaciones de la Concesionaria y coordinar sus planes y horarios de construcción con la Concesionaria para determinar el diseño rentable para mitigar el costo de la Concesionaria para reubicar sus instalaciones. F. La Ciudad agradece que no requerirá que la Concesionaria reubique sus instalaciones localizadas dentro de los derechos de paso públicos sin proveer la Concesionaria con el espacio adecuado dentro de los derechos de paso para reubicar las instalaciones que necesitan mover. G. La Ciudad no sembrará ningún árbol que puede crecer hasta 25 pies debajo de o al lado de las líneas de energía en los derechos de paso públicos. La Concesionaria debe tener la autoridad para recortar o remover los árboles o arbustos ubicados dentro de los derechos de paso o que cuelgan sobre ésas de la Ciudad, que en opinión de la Concesionaria pudieran interferir con la construcción de sus líneas o instalaciones o poner en peligro la operación de éstas.

La aprobación de esta Concesión se considerará un acuerdo por parte de Concesionaria que la Concesionaria, en la mayor medida permitida por la ley, se defenderá, indemnizará y sacará la Ciudad en paz de, para, y contra todas las reclamaciones, costos, demandas, daños, juicios, gastos y pérdidas, incluyendo pero no se limite a, honorarios de abogado y costos del juicio con relación a, surgiendo de, o presunto habría resultado del ejercicio de esta Concesión por Concesionaria; sin embargo, que dichas reclamaciones, gastos y pérdidas no son el resultado de mala conducta o por los actos negligentes o omisiones de la Ciudad.

James Maxwell Downes James Maxwell Downes, resident of Tolleson from 1969 to 1998. Born December 13, 1915 in Terre Haute, IN. passed peacefully in his sleep on February 8, 2016 in Youngtown, AZ. Jim was preceded in death by his parents (Harry and Edna), two brothers (Tom and Bob), four sisters (Josephine, Jessie, Nora, and Helen), his ¿rst wife (Betty), and a grandson (Christopher). He is survived by his current wife of 60 years, Carol Downes; six children – Jim (wife Kathleen), Edna, Johnny (wife Susan), Cindy (husband Pete), Cathy (husband John), Jeff (wife Monica). He is also survived by 12 grandchildren, 26 great grandchildren, 4 great-great grandchildren and numerous nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends. Over the course of his 100 years of life Jim saw and experienced an amazing amount of history – the transition from horse and buggy to automobiles, the invention of television, man walking on the moon, the internet, and phones that allow you to see who it is you’re talking to. As a young boy during the depression he worked a variety of odd jobs to help support his parents and siblings. Later he served in the Army at Camp Roberts during WWII. After his discharge at the end of the war, he became a long haul truck driver hauling cattle, molasses, hogs, just to name a few; when he stopped driving trucks he became a mechanic and made sure the trucks were in good running order for the other drivers, and then ended his working life as a dispatcher telling the other drivers where to go. However, the two most important jobs he held were that of Husband and Father – and by extension Grandfather, three generations out. Jim was an amazing story teller and would bend your ear for hours with the slightest bit of provocation. His memory was incredible, remembering the tiniest of details that allowed the listener to “see” the story unfold. Jim was deeply loved and his passing will leave a hole in the hearts of many. He was laid to rest at Inglewood Park Cemetery in Inglewood, CA on Saturday, February 13th, 2016. Jim’s request was that a donation be made to the Leukemia Society, or a charity of your choosing, in lieu of Àowers.

Back-to-back state champion Brandon Courtney wins 120-pound title by Casey Pritchard sports editor

Brandon Courtney is making it look easy. The Desert Edge junior won a second consecutive state wrestling championship Feb. 12, knocking off Cave Creek Cactus Shadows’ Alex Dunham in the 120-pound Division II title bout at Prescott Valley Events Center in Prescott Valley. “[My goal] was mainly to WRESTLING go out there and show that the first [state championship] didn’t happen on accident, that it’s all skill,” Courtney said. “I went out there to make a statement, and that’s exactly what I did.” Courtney won easily in all rounds, including the finals. In that round, he earned a technical fall against Dunham at 3:49. The score was 24-9. “I took him down and cut him to rack up points,” Courtney said. “The main thing was to go out and put on a show, to show that I’m the more dominant one. “I wasn’t trying to pin him. My goal was to tech him, to make a statement.” Courtney wasn’t taken down once on his march to the championship, only giving up points when he allowed wrestlers to get up from the mat. He won two of his matches by pinfall in the first period — at 1:22 over Gila Ridge’s Dale Collier in the opening round and at 50 seconds against Seton Catholic’s Kelvin Taylor in the semifinals. Courtney’s other decision was a technical fall at 3:26 against Phoenix Moon Valley’s Ryan Henkel. The score was 21-5. “I just took one match at a time and did my best every time,” Courtney said. Last year, Courtney won the 113-pound title in Division II, doing so in similar fashion. He pinned three of his opponents on the way to that title. “I’ve always worked hard, and I kind of figured [a championship] was going to happen because I’ve wrestled almost everybody in the bracket to begin with,” Courtney said. “I went in there really confident and excited.”

BRANDON COURTNEY, top, of Desert Edge grabs hold of Tempe’s Tony Ramirez during a December meet at Desert Edge. Courtney won the 120-pound Division II state championship Feb. 12, earning a technical fall victory against Cactus Shadows’ Alex Dunham 24-9. It was Courtney’s second consecutive state title. As a team, Desert Edge finished 10th with 70 points. Peoria Liberty won the state title with 164 points. The Scorpions were fourth last year. “I was hoping to get better because last year, we got fourth place, but we lost a couple guys on the way to state, they quit wrestling, so that affected us,” Courtney said. “But I’m pretty sure next year we’ll do way better than we did this year.” Desert Edge had two other state placers.

Josh Vigh finished third at 160 pounds, beating Tempe McClintock’s Noah Bello 13-9 to claim bronze. Tristian Busch was fourth at 152 pounds, losing to Verrado’s Wayde Mowry by pinfall at 4:11 of the third-place match. Courtney will be a senior next year and is looking to add one more state title. In the meantime, he has other wrestling goals he wants to accomplish. “My senior year, I’m going to go out

and try to get another championship, but right now, I’m going to start focusing on freestyle [wrestling] for nationals and hopefully, get another national title,” Courtney said. “I’m not going to take a break, I’m going back into it right away.” Casey Pritchard can be reached at caseypritchard@westvalleyview.com or Twitter @CaseyonSports.

Buckeye downs Estrella for section title by Casey Pritchard sports editor

Buckeye girls basketball blitzed Estrella Foothills from the beginning of their Feb. 13 matchup, and the Lady Hawks led all the way en route to a 52-40 victory in the Division III, Section VI championship game at Youngker High School. Buckeye (16-7) scored the first eight points of the game and had a 12-2 lead midway through the opening period. Coach Regina Early wanted her girls to play aggressive from the beginning, she said. GIRLS “I told them to keep playing aggressive, keep BASKETBALL working on the things that have been working for us, and our defense is what has been working for us,” Early said. The Lady Hawks’ relentless defense forced Estrella (22-7) into several turnovers, and Buckeye was able to convert those into easy buckets on the other end. Add to that good 3-point shooting from Jasmine Gonzalez, who hit three triples, and excellent rebounding, and Buckeye was hard to stop. “They did a better job on the glass; they out-rebounded us,” Estrella coach Matt Johnson said. “We had a lot of, I thought, good defensive stands, and we just didn’t rebound the basketball. We’re going to have to work on that.” Buckeye started the game down two players, one because of an injury, and lost a third during the game. Jakelle Berry suffered a concussion in the first half and had to sit out the rest of the contest. “I told them you’ve got to step up, when your number is called, make the best of it,” Early said. “Before the game, I had individual meetings with all of them and told them to play it like it was their last game, play like this game depended on us to go to state.” Buckeye led 21-10 after one quarter, but the action slowed down in the second period. Each team only scored six points, so Buckeye’s advantage was 27-16 at the break. The second quarter was a foul fest, with both teams going to the free-throw line regularly. Buckeye shot 11, making four, while Estrella was 2 of 9 from the charity stripe. “I thought missing the foul shots we missed in the first half kind of gave them a cushion,” Johnson said. “We’re a good third-quarter team, and we usually make runs, and we did, but I thought we gave them too much of a cushion missing the foul shots we did in the first half.” Buckeye scored the first basket of the second half to take a 29-16 lead, but the Lady Wolves scored 10 straight points, including 3-pointers by Lyndze Walberg and Mikaela Begaye. However, Buckeye didn’t panic, making a 9-2 run to end the quarter and regain a double-digit advantage at 38-28. “I just told the girls to calm down, you’ve still got the lead, it doesn’t matter if you’re up by three or up by one, you’ve still got the lead, take a deep breath and calm down,” Early said. Buckeye closed out the game with good free-throw shooting. The Lady Hawks shot only 50 percent for the game (21 of 42) but made six of their last eight. “We’ve been working on free throws,” Early said. “When it counted, they hit them for us.” Janaya Berry led Buckeye with 16 points, while Gonzalez added 13. Estrella’s top scorer was Begaye, who had 16, including four triples. Walberg added 11 points. Both teams made the state tournament, as Buckeye earned the No. 8 seed and will have a first-round bye. Buckeye’s second-round matchup will be against the

winner of Agua Fria and Winslow, which play at Winslow at 6 p.m. today. “It means a lot,” Early said of the section championship. “Especially when we lost some games earlier that we should have won. It means a lot for us.” Estrella Foothills is the No. 21 seed and has to travel to Laveen Betty Fairfax at 6 p.m. today. The teams met Jan. 6 at Fairfax, with the home team winning 43-39. Johnson is excited about the postseason, especially having a young team. The Lady Wolves have three

freshmen who get regular minutes. “Every game is great in the postseason because we learn so much,” Johnson said. “The longer we make this season last, the more they can absorb, the more they can learn, the more memories they create and the better they get. That’s what I’m excited about as we’re able to advance and get these young girls more and more playing time and experience. It’s going to pay off this year and definitely the next couple years. We have a lot to look forward to. I’m definitely not hanging my head.”

Owls down Lobos to win section title

West Valley View, Avondale, Arizona, Wednesday, February 17, 2016

Agua Fria unbeaten since Dec. 4 by Shane McOwen sports writer

Agua Fria boys basketball has been rolling all season, and the Division II, Section V tournament couldn’t slow the team down. The Owls handled Glendale Copper Canyon, 80-67, Feb. 12 and beat La Joya, 80-64, Feb. 13 in the championship game. Agua Fria moved to 25-2 on the season, with its last loss a buzzer-beater to Laveen Cesar Chavez Dec. 4. BOYS Agua Fria BASKETBALL coach Randy Lavender believes his team is in prime position to make a run for the state title, he said. “The guys told me they want to win state,” Lavender said. “I didn’t believe them at first, but now I do. Everybody says they want to win state, but I do believe it.” The Owls will begin postseason play as the Division II No. 2 seed, and will host the winner of Tempe Marcos de Niza and Tucson Salpointe Catholic. Agua Fria’s first section tournament game never was in doubt. After falling behind to Copper Canyon 2-0 to start the game, the Owls never trailed again on their way to the 80-67 win. Agua Fria led by as many as 22 points. Bryce Fowler scored 21 points in the win, while Jordan McCants added 15 and Isaiah Olvera and Isaiah Johns each had 14. Darnell Cowart was also in double digits with 10 points. The Owls were able to flex their offensive muscle against La Joya in the final, putting 80 on the normally defensively stout Lobos squad. Fowler again led the Owls in scoring with 21 points. Cowart had 19 and Johns added 11. “La Joya came in and wanted it,” Lavender said. “Our guys pulled it out in the fourth quarter. They executed, did what they’re supposed to do. I’ve got a great bunch of guys.” Tre Mitchell was La Joya’s leading scorer with 19. Quincy Smith scored 14 points and Malique Mollette had 13. “Tonight, we just didn’t play well,” La Joya coach Roger Lefebvre said. “Bottom line, they played real well, we didn’t. It is what it is, and it’s already forgotten. We’re going to move on. We’re going to practice Monday night, and not even watch this film.” Lavender said his team will take some time off for a last chance at some rest before the Owls’ playoff game Saturday.

La Joya While La Joya lost the section final, it still found its way into the Division II playoffs as the No. 15 seed. The Lobos will battle Tucson Rincon/ University in the first round at home Thursday, with the winner earning a date at top-seed Phoenix Shadow Mountain Saturday.

JORDAN MCCANTS, 1, of Agua Fria goes up for a shot against La Joya when the teams met Jan. 22. The Owls and Lobos clashed again in the Division II, Section V championship game Feb. 13, which the Owls won 80-64. The Lobos’ ride to the section championship fell just short. La Joya beat Peoria, 54-42, Feb. 10, then won against Surprise Shadow Ridge, 56-53, Feb. 12. Lefebvre said the Lobos still have some aspects to clean up, players and coaches both. “We couldn’t throw the ball in the ocean from the free throw line [against Shadow Ridge], went 4 of 16,” Lefebvre said. “We didn’t execute our Carolina

[offense], we missed lay ups, double clutched instead of just going up. When we did get fouled, we missed free throws.” Lefebvre said he needs to have better energy on the bench, but the players still have to execute. “I need to be more positive during the game,” Lefebvre said. “I need to be more of a cheerleader for them. My negative vibes, they feed off that. I’ve got to change that.

Three Estrella Foothills standouts signed national college letters of intent Feb. 3, paving the way for them to continue their athletic careers past high school, while getting an education as well. Two of the athletes are football players. Running back Joe Logan signed with Northern Arizona University, and lineman Ben Bruyer inked his name at Morningside College in Sioux City, Iowa. Megan Jesionowski, the Lady Wolves’ softball starting pitcher, signed with South Mountain Community College. Logan said he’s really excited because these types of opportunities don’t come often. “It’s fun to be able to have the opportunity to say I’m going to play college football somewhere, it’s a good school and it should fit my running style and type of play,” he said. Logan also had offers from South Dakota State and Weber State, but ultimately chose NAU because it’s close to home and he liked the coaching staff. “To me, not saying the other coaches weren’t, but to me [the NAU coaches] seemed more caring about their players and they wanted to make sure their players were successful, not in just football but in more than one aspect,” Logan said. “I’m happy for him making that decision,” Estrella coach Lamar Early added. “I really believe with hard work, which he has, he will go in and make an impact for the Lumberjacks.” Logan certainly made an impact for Estrella over the past three years. He’s rushed for 5,784 yards and 77 touchdowns over that span, including 2,600 yards this past season. “It’s one of those things when you have a player like that with the ball in his hands, good things happen, and that’s Joe,” Early said. Logan plans on studying criminal justice at NAU. Bruyer is going to Morningside, which is a National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics school. He likes the school because of the size and how good the football program is, he said. “I like it because it’s really small and there’s a really good sense of community there,” Bruyer said. “That’s important to me because I can go to a school where I don’t have to pay a fortune with a scholarship, and the team has the same morals that I do.” Bruyer took his visit to Morningside Jan. 22. “I stayed overnight in the dorm with the football players and got along well with everybody,” he said. Bruyer played offensive and defensive line for the Wolves. This past season, he had nine tackles on defense, including one for a loss. His goal is to play on the offensive line in college. “Ben’s put in a lot of time and work to get where he’s gotten,” Early said. “He played a couple different positions for us this year, going from guard to center, but he’s very accurate at what he does. He was a leader for us in the weight room, a leader on the football field, and one of our most consistent linemen that helped Joe get 2,600 yards. I’m very happy for him and wish him good luck.” Playing collegiate football was not always Bruyer’s goal, but that changed around his sophomore year, he said. “I just didn’t really know where I was at with football,” he said. “I had no idea what I wanted for college or our team. A new year came around and I started talking to coaches and realized it was something I was passionate about, and then it became really important to me.” Bruyer plans to study business management.

Megan Jesionowski Jesionowski is excited about going to South Mountain, an opportunity that came about by coincidence, she said. “I was [filling in] for a team, and my pitching coach [Dennis Phillips], he wasn’t my pitching coach at the time, but he saw me pitching and was like, ‘Wow, I really like her as a pitcher,’” Jesionowski said. “He’s friends with the South Mountain coach, and they wanted to watch me more.” Jesionowski said she definitely wanted to play softball in college, but didn’t know where. Before the start of her senior year, she started to feel like she might not get the opportunity. “Then that came up and I was like, ‘Oh my god, maybe I will get to play,’” Jesionowski said. “I was so excited.” Last season, Jesionowski helped lead the Lady Wolves to the second round of the Division III state playoffs, going 18-10 with a 2.85 earned run average. In 144.2 innings she struck out 112. Jesionowski throws six different pitches, including a fastball, curve, changeup, rise, drop and screw. Estrella’s new varsity coach, Randi Isaacs-Epstein, has coached both for and against Jesionowski. She was a volunteer assistant during Jesionowski’s freshman and sophomore seasons, and last year assisted at district rival Buckeye. “To be able to see it from both aspects, she’s a leader on the field and wonderful player to have and to coach, and she’s incredibly talented,” Isaacs-Epstein said. “Coaching against her, she’s an incredibly hard out, not only at the plate, but she’s a mentally tough pitcher. It’s hard to figure her out as an opposing coach … She’s a wonderful girl and South Mountain is lucky to have her in their program.” Jesionowski said she hopes to have a chance at pitching for South Mountain right away, but will have to work hard for it. “I know they already have a couple good pitchers, so there will be competition, which is really exciting because I haven’t had that in a while,” Jesionowksi said. “I like that more. I feel like with [competition] I push myself more.” Jesionowski plans to study secondary education and eventually teach English, she said.

Westview girls soccer stars take next step 2 Lady Knights sign letters of intent by Rafael Alvarez special to the View

Olivia Hernandez and Kori Lewis made it official Feb. 3, as the two Westview soccer players signed their letters of intent to play at Arizona State University and the University of Texas-El Paso, respectively. Each girl had her reasons behind choosing to go to her aforementioned school, and for Hernandez, choosing ASU wasn’t too difficult. “My brother and sister went there, and I knew I wanted to stay home because I love my family and I have deep ties here,” Hernandez said. Her visit to ASU was one she really enjoyed, including meeting the team and coaching staff, the atmosphere and seeing the school’s honors college, which is what ultimately helped Hernandez envision herself at ASU, as she plans to major in biological sciences. For Lewis, who plans to major in kinesiology, it came down to how welcoming the school was to her, as well as the scholarship that she’ll receive, she said. She will be the first in her family to go to an out-ofstate university, as well as play for a university. “During my first visit, the campus and all the girls were very nice to me, and the school handled the athletes with respect and they wanted them to have freedom to do whatever they want,” Lewis said. “Then they told me the amount I was going to get for my scholarship, and that’s what sealed the deal.” Unfortunately, for many high school athletes, playing at the collegiate level isn’t something they have the opportunity to do. However, for those who get the chance, there’s a time where it all clicks, and they realize that they have a tremendous possibility of playing at the next level, let alone the Division-I level. Lewis has been playing soccer since she was 7 years old, however, the realization of playing collegiately didn’t come to fruition until last year. “I felt like I had the abilities to actually start for a D-1 school and play at that higher level,” Lewis said. As for Hernandez, she has been playing soccer since she was about 4 years old, but it all came together three years ago.

“I [had] moved club teams and into a new league, it’s called Elite Clubs National League, and it was there that I received a lot of exposure, and I also played in the Olympic Development Program (ODP), and it was there where it all clicked and made it seem real,” Hernandez said. Hernandez and Lewis both know that the Division-I level is going to be a lot more difficult, but both already have in mind the adjustments they need to make in order to be successful. “The thing about collegiate level soccer is that when you go to college, soccer also starts,” Hernandez said. “The first season is when everything hits you all at once, so for me the biggest thing is going to be living independently and trying to manage everything into the small number of hours I have.” “I’ll definitely have to start eating better,” Lewis added. “I’ll have to get in much better shape and be more focused on the game.” For these two women, their high school playing careers and the memories they experienced will be something they’ll never forget, whether it be the long road trips to away games, the camaraderie, their coaches’ speeches or meeting new people. “Being on a team and meeting all the girls that I meet, it just changes you,” Hernandez said. “It makes you feel like you’re a part of something bigger than yourself, and that’s one of the reasons why I love playing.” Moving on from these memories will be tough, but it is something that both Hernandez and Lewis are embracing. “It’s bittersweet,” Hernandez said. “I love playing soccer with these girls and playing for a high school team and representing them, but when one door closes, another one opens so I’m just trying to make the best out of it.” With Hernandez and Lewis both taking the next step in their soccer playing careers, they left aspiring collegiate soccer players with a few words of advice. “Have fun on the field because if you have fun, you’ll play your best,” Lewis said. “Be open-minded, and go look out everywhere [you] can see yourself going,” Hernandez said. “E-mail schools and if you get a response, look into it because the future isn’t solid; it’s unpredictable.”

JOYCELYNNE REWERTS, of Estrella Foothills gets sandwiched between a pair of Fountain Hills players during the Division III state semifinals Feb. 9 at Arcadia High School. The Lady Wolves failed to score and were bounced from the playoffs by the Lady Falcons, 3-0. Fountain Hills went on to win the state championship against Palo Verde Magnet 4-2.

Short (From Page B1) but a Ruiz shot from 25 yards away bounced harmlessly into the arms of Pueblo Magnet’s keeper. “Our confidence went up rapidly [after the goal],” Buckeye junior forward Alonso Chairez said. “We thought we were going to get another one, we went harder, we did our passes better, but at the end we couldn’t do it.” Buckeye’s game plan, as always, was to send long balls to Ruiz and Rodriguez Parra and try to get them into open space so they could use their skills. However, the Hawks struggled to get balls up with accuracy, and when they did, Pueblo Magnet applied good pressure up top. “For some reason, we weren’t able to send the ball like we always do,” Disu said. “That’s one of our strategies for the defense, to send the long ball, and [Rodriguez Parra] was getting frustrated a little bit. But I give their defense credit for a good job.” “They pressured us really good,” Chairez added. “They stuck really close to us so we couldn’t really do anything.” The game was a stalemate until late in the first half when Pueblo Magnet struck off a beautiful set piece.

87th Annual Buckeye Helzapoppin’

A free kick into the penalty area from just in front of midfield was redirected into the goal for a 1-0 Warriors lead with 2:20 left before halftime. The Warriors made it 2-0 in the 52nd minute when confusion between Buckeye keeper Mustapha Gborie and the defense led to a tap in by Pueblo Magnet. “It was a miscommunication,” Disu said. “The goalie called for the ball, leave, then he left it.” Despite the loss, Buckeye accomplished something it never had before, making the state finals. “Our school is really proud of us,” Chairez said. “This is the first year we got here, we made history by making it to the finals, made history by being section champions. Our school is really proud of us, even though we [lost].” The Hawks are losing just four seniors to graduation, giving them a good shot of making another deep run next year. “Now, they are hungry because now we know what it takes to get to this point,” Disu said. “We’re going to work hard, whatever we messed up, we’ll get it better and hopefully, we come here again and take the first place trophy,” Chairez added.

Semifinal win Buckeye found itself in a familiar place in the semifinals as with the quarterfinals: trailing in the first half. However, the Hawks were able to turn things around in the second half and came away with a 4-1 win over top-seeded El Mirage Dysart Feb. 10.

Dysart took the lead with 2:35 remaining in the opening 40 minutes, making it 1-0. It was not a surprise the Demons scored first, as they peppered Buckeye’s net with shots for the last 15 minutes of the half, and Ruben Fabian finally capitalized. Dysart nearly made it 2-0 five minutes into the second half, but hit the left post with a shot. Buckeye finally struck in the 47th minute. Rodriguez Parra sent a crossing pass to the middle that was deflected away by the Dysart defense, but came right to Chairez, who found Ruiz on the left side of the net, and he fired it in for a 1-1 tie. “After the first goal, I was like, we’ve got this, we can do this,” Ruiz said. “We kept playing how we play. We’re a good team, first half we couldn’t do what we do, so we had to talk to each other and do it better.” Rodriguez Parra scored what turned out to be the gamewinning goal in the 56th minute, getting a long pass down the right sideline and putting it past the goalie for a 2-1 Buckeye lead. Buckeye added another goal from Ruiz with 6:23 to play, and one more from Rodriguez Parra with 1:27 remaining. At halftime, Disu made some strategic changes to turn things around. “Dysart, their strength is in the midfield, so I had to find a way to slow them down,” Disu said. “I had to change a couple things around. I said, ‘Why don’t we try to contain their midfielders, and at the same time use long balls to our offense?’ And that’s exactly what worked for us.”

Lady Owls squeak into state tournament by Shane McOwen sports writer

Agua Fria girls basketball missed its chance to secure an automatic berth to the Division III state tournament, losing the Section IV championship game to Glendale Cactus 60-51 Feb. 13. Fortunately for the Lady Owls, the two wins in the early part of the tournament were enough to propel the team into the playoffs. Agua Fria made it as the 24 seed, and will play at Winslow at 6 p.m. today. The Lady Owls used a solid finish to earn the GIRLS playoff spot, winning eight of the last 10 games BASKETBALL of the regular season, and two of three in the section tournament. “We had a stretch where we lost to Verrado and lost to [Glendale] Apollo back-to-back, and since then they’ve picked up their games,” Agua Fria coach Sam Polvino said. “The seniors have been great, the four that are out there starting, they’ve come out really good for the last four or five games.” Agua Fria avenged two regular season losses in tournament play, a 54-28 win over Phoenix Barry Goldwater and a 68-54 victory against Verrado. The Lady Owls’ previous games against the two teams were doubledigit defeats. The Lady Owls’ signature win over that stretch was the rematch against Verrado. In the Jan. 29 meeting, Verrado held Agua Fria to five points in the first half and won comfortably 51-32. In the Feb. 11 matchup, the Lady Owls hit five points just two minutes into the game and finished with more points in the first half (37) than they did in the entire first game. “The basketball gods were on their side tonight,” Verrado coach Vernon Beard said. “They made a lot of incredible shots. I tip my hat off to Sam, he’s a hell of a coach. He had his team prepared and they did a lot of good things. It was their night.” Agua Fria’s balanced attack set the pace for the Lady Owls. Four girls scored in double figures: Kiaira Cooke, Kash Cannon and Tynica Gilmore each had 15 points, and Sabree Lopez had 13. Polvino said the game plan was to continue to attack if Verrado doubled Cannon, the team’s point guard. “We said [to Cannon] to get away from the ball if she didn’t have to have it, and we played four-on-three and we executed,” Polvino said. “We made them pay for that. We worked the plan, practiced it and they did it. The

We’ve been scoring, so hopefully, our defense would be taking care of us, and it did.”

These public rights-of-way include, but are not limited to, streets, alleys, ways, bridges, highways, and public utility easements within the City of Litchfield Park, Arizona (herein called “City”). Grantee’s gas system is for the purpose of supplying natural gas and/or artificial gas, including gas manufactured by any method whatsoever, and/or gas containing a mixture of natural gas and such artificial gas (herein all types of gas will be collectively referred to as “gas”) to City, its successors, the inhabitants thereof, and all individuals and entities, either within or beyond the limits thereof, for all purposes. Grantee’s gas system includes a transmission and distribution system of gas mains, pipelines and conduits, together with all necessary or desirable appurtenances including, but not limited to pipes, laterals, service lines, pumps, manholes, meters, gauges, valves, traps, fences, vaults, regulators, regulator stations, appliances, attachments and related equipment, facilities and appurtenances for the purpose of supplying gas. In consideration for the grant of this Franchise, the City and Grantee agree as follows: Section 2 – Term 2.1 The Effective Date of this Franchise shall be April 1, 2016. This Franchise shall continue and exist for a period of twentyfive (25) years from the Effective Date. Unless terminated earlier by written agreement of the parties, or termination for breach of the franchise, this Franchise will expire on April 1, 2041. 2.2 The right, privilege and franchise hereby granted shall continue and exist for a period of twenty-five (25) years; provided, however, that either party may reopen any or all sections for further review and possible amendment of this Franchise, on its fifth (5th) or twelfth (12th) anniversary, by giving written notice of its intention to do so not less than one (1) year before the fifth (5th) or twelfth (12th) anniversary. Section 3 – Construction 3.1 Grantee shall perform all construction under this Franchise in accordance with established industry standards, permit requirements, and ordinances of the City provided the requirements and ordinances of the City do not contradict the terms of this Franchise. Before Grantee makes any installations in the public rights-of-way, Grantee shall apply for and obtain from City such permit or permits as are required by City to be issued for work in the public rights-of-way and submit a proposed installation drawing to the City Engineer, or if no City Engineer exists, the City Manager. Unless necessitated by emergency or exigent circumstances, should Grantee commence work hereunder without obtaining applicable permits, then Grantee shall pay to City a stipulated penalty of equal to one-hundred fifty percent (150%) of the applicable permit fees. Upon request, Grantee shall also provide the City with, on an annual basis, its known proposed capital plan and reasonably foreseeable future corridor plans for all improvements in the City’s planning area. 3.2 If City undertakes, either directly or through a contractor, any construction project adjacent to Grantee’s facilities operated pursuant to this Franchise, City shall notify Grantee of such construction project. Grantee will take steps as are reasonably necessary to maintain safe conditions throughout the construction project, including but not limited to the temporary removal or barricading of Grantee’s pipelines or equipment, the location of which may create an unsafe condition in view of the equipment to be utilized or

the methods of construction to be followed by the Contractor, at City’s cost. 3.3 Grantee shall coordinate with City the installation, construction, use, operation and relocation of its facilities within City. Grantee shall provide City with proposed installation drawings to facilitate such coordination and shall plan, respond, facilitate and design its facilities in coordination with City input, as City may provide. Annually City and Grantee shall provide one another with a general schedule of its known construction projects for the year in order that construction projects may be coordinated to the extent practicable. Neither party shall finalize the design of any facility without providing the other party a reasonable opportunity to comment. If either party identifies a potential conflict between their existing facilities and the other party’s proposed facilities, said party shall immediately notify the other party of such conflict and the parties shall use their best efforts to resolve such conflict. 3.4 Grantee shall not install, construct, maintain or use its facilities in a manner that damages or interferes with any existing facilities of another utility located in the public right-of-way. 3.5 Construction of Grantee’s facilities relating to traffic control, backfilling, compaction and paving, as well as the location or relocation of pipelines and related facilities provided for in this Franchise Agreement is subject to the applicable provisions of the Litchfield Park City Code in place at the time of installation. If a provision of the Litchfield Park City Code is inconsistent with Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations or any other applicable federal or Arizona state law, rule, order and regulation, then the Grantee and City agree that Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations or the other applicable federal or Arizona state law, rule, order and regulation shall govern. Pursuant to A.R.S. § 40-360.30 and any other applicable law, Grantee shall keep installation records of the location of all facilities in the public rights-of-way and furnish them to the City upon request. Grantee represents that it is defined as critical infrastructure by the Federal Government and as such records of the location or design of natural gas facilities are proprietary to Grantee. If the City believes it must release any such records in the course of enforcing this Franchise or in accordance with the Arizona public records laws, or for any other reason, it shall advise Grantee in advance so that Grantee may take appropriate steps to protect its interests. If the City receives a demand from any person for disclosure of any records described herein, the City shall advise Grantee and provide Grantee with a copy of any written request by the party demanding access to such record within a reasonable period of time. Grantee may file such action as it deems necessary or appropriate to protect the confidentiality of such record. If an action is filed against the City demanding release of a record described herein, Grantee shall either defend or pay upon demand all attorneys fees, costs and other expenses incurred by City as a result of a request by Grantee that the record not be disclosed. In the event of litigation, until otherwise ordered by a court or agency of competent jurisdiction, the City agrees that, to the extent permitted by federal and State law, it shall deny access to any of the records described herein to any person. Reasonable use of Grantee’s records internally by City for permitting and design of City owned facilities are permissible. A. If City requires Grantee to relocate Grantee’s facilities which are located in private easements then the costs and expenditures associated with purchasing a new private easement and relocating Grantee’s facilities shall be borne by City. B. Except as provided in Paragraph A above, Grantee shall bear the entire cost without reimbursement of relocating its facilities located on or under public rights-of-way, the relocation of which is necessary for City’s or a contractor of City carrying out of City’s governmental functions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Grantee is requested to perform work of a temporary nature on a governmental project to relieve construction problems which could be relieved by other means, the cost of said temporary work will be borne by City or City’s contractor working on the governmental project. Governmental functions are those duties imposed on City, where the duties involve a general public benefit, not in the nature of a corporate or business undertaking for the corporate benefit and interest of City. Governmental functions include, but are not limited to, the following: Governmental functions is defined as the following when performed by or on behalf of City:

1. Any and all improvements to City’s public rights-of-way; 2. Establishing and maintaining domestic water systems, sanitary sewers, storm drains, and related facilities; 3.

The relocation of Grantee’s facilities necessary to carry out the exercise of the City’s police power for urban renewal. C.

All functions of City which are not governmental are proprietary. D. City will not exercise its right to require Grantee’s facilities to be relocated in an unreasonable or arbitrary manner, or to avoid its obligation under the Franchise. City agrees to notify Grantee during the planning and design of City’s projects in rights-ofway that may require relocation of Grantee’s facilities and to coordinate its construction plans and schedules with Grantee to determine the most cost-effective design to mitigate Grantee’s cost to relocate its facilities. E. City agrees it will not require Grantee to relocate its facilities located within the public rights-of-way without providing Grantee adequate space within the rights-of-way to relocate the facilities that must be moved. F. If City pays all or part of the cost of relocating Grantee’s facilities pursuant to this Franchise, the cost to the City shall be limited to those costs and expenditures reasonably incurred for relocating such facilities in accordance with City ordinances and, where not in conflict therewith, applicable industry standards. Costs to the City for relocation of Grantee’s facilities shall not include any upgrade or improvement of Grantee’s facilities as they existed prior to relocation. Prior to payment by City, Grantee shall provide an itemization of such costs and expenditures subject to City’s review and approval. G. City will not exercise its right to require Grantee’s facilities to be relocated in an unreasonable or arbitrary manner, or to avoid its obligations under this Franchise. City may require Grantee to relocate Grantee’s facilities to avoid conflict with the installation or relocation of other utility facilities, provided the costs and expenditures associated with relocating Grantee’s facilities are paid by the other utility. H. All underground abandoned lines shall continue to remain the property of the Grantee, unless the Grantee specifically acknowledges otherwise to the City Manager and such is accepted by the City. Grantee shall remove, at Grantee’s sole cost, abandoned lines at the request of City when the lines are in direct physical conflict with City’s facilities, in the opinion of the City Engineer. 3.6 Grantee will keep accurate records of the location of all facilities in the public rights of way and furnish them to City upon request. Upon relocation or construction of new underground facilities in the public rights of way, Grantee shall, unless directed otherwise by City, provide the City Engineer or its equivalent with corrected drawings showing the location of the underground facilities in those cases where the actual location differs significantly from the proposed location. Grantee shall provide to City, upon City request, the location of such new or relocated facilities in the public rights of way in a noneditable electronic format. Section 4 – Indemnification; Insurance 4.1 City, its departments, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns, shall in no way be liable or responsible for any accident or damage that may occur in the exercise of this Franchise by Grantee or its contractors, and the acceptance of this grant shall be deemed an agreement on the part of Grantee to indemnify and hold harmless the City, its departments, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all liability, loss, costs, legal fees, damages or any other expenses, which may be imposed on the City by reason of the acts of the Grantee, its officers, employees, agents, successors, assigns and contractors in the exercise of this Franchise, including the maintenance of barricades and traffic control devices in construction and maintenance areas. Grantee shall defend, indemnify, and save City harmless from any expenses and losses incurred as a result of injury or damage to third persons occasioned by the exercise of this Franchise by Grantee, its officers, employees,

agents, successors, assigns and contractors, provided, however, that such claims, expenses and losses are not the result of any willful or grossly negligent acts of City. 4.2 Grantee shall maintain throughout the term of this Franchise liability insurance and/ or a program of self-retention or general assets, to adequately insure and/or protect the legal liability of Grantee with respect to the installation, operation and maintenance of the gas lines together with all the necessary and desirable appurtenances authorized herein to occupy the public rights-of-way or public utility easements. Such insurance, self-retention or general asset program will provide protection for bodily injury and property damage including, without otherwise limiting the foregoing, contractual liability and legal liability for damages arising from explosion, collapse and underground incidents. Such insurance also includes pollution liability. 4.3 Grantee shall file with City documentation of such liability insurance, self-retention or general asset program within sixty (60) days following written request of City. Section 5 – Restoration of Rights-of-Way If, in the construction, maintenance or operation of its gas system, Grantee damages or disturbs the surface or subsurface of any public road, adjoining public property or the public improvement located thereon, then Grantee shall restore the surface or subsurface of the public road, or public property, or repair or replace the public improvement as required by the City development standards in effect at that time. The Grantee shall be responsible for the costs of the restoration or repair. Should such restoration, repair or replacement not be completed within a reasonable time or fail to meet City’s development standards in effect at that time, the City may, after prior notice to Grantee, perform the necessary restoration, repair or replacement either through its own forces or through a hired contractor, and Grantee agrees to reimburse the City for its costs and expenses in so doing within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the City’s invoice.
