Primary push comes to AZ State Republicans, Dems make their choice in March Presidential Preference Election by Glenn Gullickson staff writer

The presidential campaign comes to Arizona in March when voters get a chance to express their preference for candidates seeking the Republican and Democratic nominations. Ballots have been mailed to voters who are

on the Permanent Early Voting List and polls will be open on March 22 for the Arizona Presidential Preference Election. It’s the first step to select the state’s delegates for this summer’s national conventions, where the presidential candidates will be nominated. To be eligible to cast the party-line ballot,

voters must have been registered as a member of the Republican, Democratic or Green parties by Feb. 22. Those registered as independents are not allowed to vote in this election. By the time Arizona has its turn, about 30 (See Primary on Page A5)

Buckeye paramedics making house calls

Firefighters keep busy in new park Crews respond to 7 rescue calls at Skyline Regional Park since January by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

Pilot program to keep patients from returning to hospital by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

In August 2015, Buckeye resident Luinda White, 78, thought she had the flu, but ended up in the hospital with pneumonia. Shortly after her release, she started having heart problems. Despite multiple tests, her cardiologist couldn’t figure out what was wrong. Then White got involved in a pilot program launched by the Buckeye Fire Department, where paramedics stop by her house twice a week to take her vitals. When she gave their heart monitor readouts to her cardiologist, he was able to diagnose her with atrial fibrillation and start the proper treatment. White is among 133 patients between the ages of 18 and 92 who have been getting house calls from a handful of paramedics. The program is designed to help discharged patients stay on the road to good health and reduce hospital readmission rates. “When you can depend on them coming on a certain day at a certain time, you look forward to that, because it helps you to feel better about your situation,” White said. “Nobody wants to be in the situation where you can’t help yourself.” Since May 2015, the program has reduced

Buckeye patient readmission at Banner Estrella Medical Center, with only about 4 percent of the patients having to go back to the hospital, Buckeye Fire Chief Bob Costello said. He helped develop the Community Paramedicine Program about two years ago with Dr. Todd Clever, the fire department’s medical director and a physician at Banner Estrella Medical Center. The idea for it came about after the evolution of the Affordable Care Act and its tightening of hospitals’ readmission rates for some diseases, Costello said. The program’s goals are to provide a successful home follow-up service to bridge the gap between hospital discharge and physician follow through; develop a trust in the community by having firefighters help citizens navigate the current healthcare system; reduce readmission rates for patients in the program; and expand revenue and growth opportunities within the city of Buckeye. Buckeye patients who have suffered heart attacks, congestive heart failure, pneumonia, hip and knee replacements and other high-risk illnesses are offered a spot in the program upon (See Paramedics on Page A5)

It’s already been a busy year for rescues at Skyline Regional Park in Buckeye. Since its Jan. 9 opening, firefighters have been called out to the park, 2600 N. Watson Road, seven times, said Capt. Tommy Taylor with the Buckeye Fire Department. The most recent rescue was at about 11:50 a.m. Monday when an elderly woman got disoriented and fell about a mile up the Turnbuckle Trail, which is a three-mile loop, Taylor said. Firefighters helped the woman get to one of two helicopter pads on the trail and she was flown off the mountain by the Phoenix Firebird Helicopter, he said. She was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, Taylor said. Out of the seven rescues at the park this year, four patients had to be airlifted, he said. “I think people think they’re easy trails, and unfortunately, they come unprepared,” he said. “They don’t hydrate early enough, they don’t bring enough water. The hike starts out pretty easy and next thing they know, it gets a little more difficult and they kind of push themselves.” On Feb. 19, firefighters were called to the park for back-to-back rescues, Taylor said. The first was for a mountain biker who got off the trail and crashed. A hiker called 911 and then ended up needing to be rescued (See Rescue on Page A5)

Downtown Litchfield Park Award Winning Festival

assistant editor

The Goodyear Police Department is recommending charges of assault and disorderly conduct against a Buckeye police officer and another man regarding a Nov. 28, 2015, incident in Buckeye, records state. Lt. Jared Griffith and Buckeye resident Douglas Lovell allegedly had a physical altercation while attending a party in the Verrado community, records state. The case was turned over to the Goodyear Police Department because of “the nature of the allegations and in the interest of transparency,” said Sgt. Jason Weeks, a spokesman for the Buckeye Police Department. According to reports, the altercation started after Griffith found his wife talking to Lovell in a bathroom. Police were not able to determine who

started the fight, but both men received injuries, records state. Lovell reported the incident to the Buckeye Police Department the following morning while he was being examined at a local hospital, records state. He had swelling to the left side of his face and a concussion, records state. Griffith, who also had swelling to his face and a minor laceration behind his ear, reported the incident to the Buckeye police chief on Nov. 29, records state. He is on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of an internal affairs investigation, Weeks said. The charges were submitted to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office for review.

A man and a teenager were shot Feb. 26 during a struggle in a vacant house near Buckeye and El Mirage roads in Avondale, police said. At about noon, two construction workers entered the house to do some work for the landlord and found three teens inside, said Sgt. Brandon Busse, a spokesman with the Avondale Police Department. The men tried to detain the teens until police arrived, but a struggle ensued and one of the youths pulled out a handgun,

Busse said. As one of the construction workers tried to grab the gun, it went off and he was shot in the stomach. The teen was shot in the hand, Busse said. Both were transported to local hospitals in stable condition, he said. Police have not determined what the teens, two 15-year-old boys and a 14-yearold girl, were doing in the house, said Sgt. Mathew Hintz with the Avondale Police Department. The case is under investigation and no charges have been determined, Busse said.

Final suspect arrested in armed robbery at Goodyear home View report

The fourth and final suspect in a Feb. 12 armed robbery of a home near Yuma Road and Cotton Lane in Goodyear has been taken into custody, officials said. The 16-year-old Goodyear boy was taken into custody with the help of the U.S. Marshall’s Office Feb. 22, said Lisa Kutis, a spokeswoman for the Goodyear Police Department. Two others were arrested the night of the robbery — Kevin Eugene Box, 18, of south Phoenix and a 16-year-old boy

from Goodyear. A 17-year-old boy from Goodyear turned himself in to police Feb. 19, Kutis said. Four adults were home during the robbery at about 5:20 p.m., and were held at gunpoint as the teens stole cash, a firearm, a vehicle and other personal items, she said. One of the victims sustained minor injuries and was treated and released, Kutis said. The stolen vehicle was later recovered at a nearby L.A. Fitness parking lot, she said.

Inmate death at Buckeye prison investigated as homicide View report

The death of an inmate Monday at Arizona State Prison Complex–Lewis in Buckeye is being investigated as a homicide, officials said. Prison staff attempted life-saving measures after finding Toby Montoya, 42, unresponsive in his assigned housing unit, but he was pronounced dead just before 11 a.m., according to a release by the Arizona Department of Corrections. Investigators with the ADC Criminal

Investigations Unit said they have reason to believe Montoya died as a result of injuries he received during an assault by another inmate, the release states. Montoya recently returned to ADC custody to serve an eight-year sentence out of Maricopa County for two counts of misconduct involving weapons. He was housed at the medium custody Stiner Unit at Lewis Prison, the release states. The criminal investigation is ongoing, the release states.

Avondale man accused in Feb. 22 Buckeye burglary View report

A 23-year-old Avondale man was arrested Feb. 22 in Buckeye on suspicion of burglary in the third degree, according to the Buckeye Police Department. Kevin Kimes was booked into Maricopa County Fourth Avenue Jail in Phoenix and faces several felony charges, police said. On the morning of the arrest, a Buckeye police officer was providing extra patrol to the Westpark neighborhood because there had been an increase in vehicle burglaries in the area, police said. During patrol, the officer came in contact with Kimes in the 25500 block of West Dunlap Kevin Kimes Road, police said. Kimes allowed officers to check his backpack, where they found paperwork belonging to someone at a nearby residence, police said. At that time, a victim of a car burglary called 911 to report someone running away from her vehicle, said Officer Tamela Skaggs, a spokeswoman for the Buckeye Police Department. The victim gave a description that matched Kimes, police said. Police ask that anyone who lives in the area and believes he or she was a victim of a vehicle burglary on Feb. 22 to contact the Buckeye Police Department at 623349-6400.

Abandoned house burns in Tolleson View report

An abandoned house at 9166 W. Washington St. in Tolleson collapsed after it caught fire Monday night, officials said. No injuries were reported, Fire Chief George Good said. The Adobe house, which is about a quarter mile away from the Tolleson Fire Station, has been structurally unsound and uninhabitable for many years, Good said. When firefighters arrived just after 6 p.m., they found the house completely engulfed in flames, he said. Witnesses reported seeing a person in the doorway of the house shortly before the fire started, so firefighters didn’t know initially if anyone was inside the house, Good said. However, the person was found in the neighborhood, he said. The cause of the fire is under investigation, Good said.

ARTIST TAL DVIR coordinates and paints a fanciful mural Jan. 31 at the Litchfield Park Recreation Center swimming pool.

Painting the towns West Valley mural project will bring art to public spaces by Glenn Gullickson staff writer

Professional artists and student apprentices will be painting the towns in the West Valley as a mural project creates art in public spaces. Work has begun on the West Valley Arts Council’s Mural Project with a painting at the Litchfield Park Recreation Center. Murals are also being planned for Avondale and Goodyear. The project pairs professional artists with a group of students to plan and execute a large-scale work of art, said Bernadette Mills, executive director of the West Valley Arts Council. Mills said murals benefit a community. “I think it shows community investment,” she said. “It helps beautify an area.” Done successfully, a mural works with the surrounding landscape with a design that relates to the people who will be viewing the artwork, Mills said. In Litchfield Park, artist Tal Dvir’s canvas is two large square planters containing palm trees on the pool deck of the city’s Recreation Center. Dvir worked with several students Jan. 31 to paint his “under the sea” design, an ocean aquarium scene that includes fish and dolphins. “It’s not big, but there are lots of details and color,” he said. Sonny Culbreth, Litchfield Park’s assistant city manager, said Dvir’s work will “catch the imagination of children and their parents” as they arrive at the pool. Dvir said the painting is inspired by a mural based on the animated movie Finding Nemo that he did 10 years ago in his native Israel. “I’m always looking to share my art throughout the Valley,” said Dvir, who moved from Southern California to Chandler three years ago. Dvir said he has experience working with young people as an art teacher.

“I’m thrilled to have them with me and helping me out,” he said. The mural project is a variation on the Art Council’s Gallery 37 summer program for student artists, Mills said. The idea resulted from a brainstorming session to come up with ideas for a community project. Research showed murals were popular, she said. Plans to involve 13 West Valley cities were scaled back to five or six locales, with murals also planned at the Surprise Stadium, downtown Wickenburg and possibly El Mirage, Mills said. Each city picked a location for a mural and selected an artist after reviewing portfolios submitted by 10 artists from around the Valley who applied to be part of the project, Mills said. West Valley students between 14 and 18 years old were recruited for teams of up to 10 to work with the artists. At Goodyear Community Park, the teen artists are working on the design for a mural at the skate park, a project led by artist Kim Sterling of Surprise. “I want the kids to design it. It speaks to their culture,” Sterling said. “All I’m doing is directing the whole thing.” By having the teens take ownership of the project, it might be less likely that the mural will be a target for graffiti, he said. Sterling, who has made a career of creating murals for corporate clients, said he’s encouraging the teens to see the whole skate park as a work of art by thinking of its ramps and curves as sculpture that can be part of the mural. “I want to let it create itself. That’s the art part. It goes in its own direction,” he said. Sterling said the project will be a success if the teen artists gain an understanding that art is a possibility as a career.

MURALS TAKE SHAPE Jan. 31 on palm tree planters at the Litchfield Park Recreation Center Pool.

Painting (From Page A3) Painting is expected to be done in April, he said. In Avondale, artist Bonnie Mostert-Lewis is planning a mural for Fire Station No. 172 at the northeast corner of McDowell Road and 107th Avenue. She’s considering a wildlife mural for a couple of panels of a wall on the site that could incorporate images of animals native to the Tres Rios area where the Agua Fria, Gila and Salt rivers converge in Avondale. Her teen team will be involved from composition to painting in a project she estimates will take 100 hours, with painting expected to start in late February, she said. Mostert-Lewis, who operates Catitude Gallery and Studio in Avondale, has previously done murals for the Mining and Mineral Museum and the Pioneer Living History Museum, both in Phoenix, as well as projects for homeowners. Murals can amuse, inform or provide a “wow factor,” she said. “It’s a great venue for all kinds of statements,” she said. “It’s an enhancement to any public building to have something other than a blank wall.” She said she was interested in the challenge of the West Valley Mural Project, which will include a judged competition of the works. “I just really believe in the public art thing,” MostertLewis said. Costs for each mural will be covered by $1,500 from the Arts Council, with a matching amount from each city, Mills said. Litchfield Park is seeking a community organization to act as a sponsor to cover the city’s expenses on the project, Culbreth said. Funds pay for stipends for the artists and students as well as supplies, Mills said. One of the biggest expenses is a UV coating that protects the paintings from the elements. Depending on funding, the murals could become an annual project, Mills said. A fundraising page has been established for the project at GoFundme.com/5mbj2n6c.

The results of Goodyear’s 2015 Citizen Survey are out and the ratings are largely similar to those in the 2014 survey. “The NCS [National Citizen Survey] report is about the ‘livability’ of Goodyear,” as stated in a report on the survey. “The phrase ‘livable community’ is used here to evoke a place that is not simply habitable, but that is desirable. It is not only where people do live, but where they want to live.” The research firm randomly selected 3,000 residents to survey in October and November of 2015 to “gauge residents’ satisfaction with city service,” as stated on the city website. Michael Sakal, public information officer for Goodyear, said the city does a survey every few years as a way for the residents to tell officials what they think about the city. “Also, City Council uses [the survey] as a guide, a tool in future decisions and considerations,” Sakal said. The survey reports residents’ opinions on safety, mobility, natural environment, built environment, economy, recreation and wellness, education and enrichment and community engagement. The survey information was compiled by the National Research Center Inc., a research and evaluation firm based in Boulder, Colo., that focuses on the information requirements of the public sector, as stated on its website. Quality of life is one aspect of the community the survey examines. Eighty-eight percent of the respondents rated the quality of life in Goodyear as excellent or good compared to 91 percent in last year’s survey. Ninety-three percent rated Goodyear as an excellent or good place to live compared to 95 percent in the 2014 survey. Eighty-five percent of the respondents rated Goodyear as an excellent or good place to raise children, down slightly from 87 percent last year. Eighty-four percent rated Goodyear as an excellent or good place to retire — the same percentage as last year. “Almost all residents rated their neighborhood as an excellent or good place to live,” the report states. “Most of these ratings were similar to the national benchmark; however, Goodyear as a place to retire received ratings higher than what was seen in comparison communities.” Eighty-nine percent rated the overall feeling of safety in Goodyear as excellent or good, down slightly from 90 percent last year. Goodyear received fewer positive responses to the question about employment opportunities in the city. Thirty-one percent of respondents rated employment opportunities as excellent or good, up slightly from 29 percent last year. Fifty-seven percent of respondents rated Goodyear’s cost of living as excellent or good, compared to 61

percent the year before. The survey asked respondents to rate new development in Goodyear as excellent or good. Fifty-six percent rated new development positively, down slightly from 59 percent the previous year. Sixty-five percent rated Goodyear’s recreational opportunities as excellent or good, the same as the previous year. Sakal said the council looks at some of the lower ratings to make improvements. “We’re working on” bringing in more entertainment, he said. For example, a16-screen megaplex Harkins Theatres is currently under construction near McDowell Road and Bullard Avenue, he said. It is scheduled to open in the spring. New restaurants built since the last citizen satisfaction survey include Oregano’s Pizza Bistro, Native Grill & Wings, Texas Roadhouse and MOD Pizza, he said. Respondents were asked to rate travel by bicycle, paths and walking trails and ease of walking. Fifty-eight percent of the respondents rated travel by bicycle as good or excellent compared to 60 percent last year. Sixty-three percent of respondents rated paths and walking trails as good or excellent, down from 68 percent last year. Sixty-five percent of respondents rated ease of walking in Goodyear as excellent or good compared to 72 percent last year. Social events and activities received one of the lowest ratings. Forty-nine percent of respondents rated social events and activities as excellent or good compared to 54 percent last year. Fifty-eight percent of respondents rated Goodyear as an excellent or good place to work as they did last year. The survey also asked respondents about their city government. Seventy-eight percent of respondents rated the services provided by Goodyear as excellent or good compared to 81 percent in 2014. Fifty-four percent of respondents rated the value of services for taxes paid as excellent or good compared to 61 percent last year. Sixty percent of respondents rated welcoming citizen involvement as excellent or good down slightly from 63 percent the previous year. Only 8 percent said they contacted an elected official once a month or more in the last 12 months, the same as the previous year. Seventeen percent of respondents said they attended a local public meeting once or more in the last 12 months compared to 15 percent the previous year.

their release from Banner Estrella. If they accept, Buckeye firefighters contact the patient usually within 24 hours to schedule an initial home visit and other follow-up visits prescribed by hospital medical staff. They start with a safety review of the patient’s home to make sure it’s safe, and then go over hospital discharge instructions and medications. They also take the patients’ vitals and help encourage them to live a healthy lifestyle, Costello said. “These paramedics develop a bond with the patients, helping them not only to carefully explain their hospital discharge instructions and review prescriptions, but also helping them by removing obstacles like carpets or loose rugs that could prompt falls,” he said. “By being in the home and watching the patient on a regular basis, we make sure the patient has all the resources necessary to stay on the path toward good health.” The program uses a limited amount of overtime costs to run, as paramedics who participate are often on “light duty” because of injury or illness and staffing it has had no impact on the department’s readiness, Costello said. One of the many goals of the pilot program is to get a better idea of what the true costs of the program will be moving forward, he said. “They have done a really good job of implementing this program, especially considering there was nothing like this before,” Clever said. “Not only does it help the patients concentrate on their personal healthcare decisions, it leads to better paramedics. They’re no longer just emergency transporters to the hospital; they see the big picture and the importance of quality healthcare to the individual patient.”

states will have conducted primary elections or caucuses in the 2016 election process. If the Republican race hasn’t been decided by the earlier contests, Arizona’s frequently overlooked election could get some attention from candidates who would covet 58 delegates at stake in that party’s winner-take-all contest. “This election is going to be different. There’s a lot of intense competition,” said Tim Sifert, communications director for the state Republican Party. “It’s exciting to see. Anything can happen.” Sifert said this year’s campaign is a contrast to 2008, when Sen. John McCain’s native son status meant other candidates avoided Arizona, and 2012, when there was little activity in the state before Mitt Romney captured the nomination. This year, “there’s at least three candidates who want to be in first place,” Sifert said. The top contenders — Donald Trump, Sen. Marco Rubio and Sen. Ted Cruz — were among candidates who visited the state earlier, Sifert said. Sifert said he doesn’t know if candidates would campaign here again before the election, but noted that they may have time since neighboring Utah is the only other state with a primary on March 22. Sifert said the process continues after the election as Republican legislative district committees take steps to identify the people who will serve as delegates before they are selected at the party’s state convention on April 30. “There is going to be a lot of competition at that very, very local level,” he said. The Republican National Convention will be July 18-21 in Cleveland, with 2,472 delegates in attendance. On the Democratic side, Barbara Lubin, political director for the state party, said she hasn’t heard if Hillary Clinton or Sen. Bernie Sanders will be in the state before the election. Arizona Democrats will have 85 national convention delegates, with the first 50 of those apportioned to the candidates according to the results of the vote by congressional districts, Lubin said. Lubin said Congressional Districts 3 and 7, which cover portions of the West Valley and are represented by Democrats Raul Grijalva and Ruben Gallego, each get five delegates. Others are super delegates, including elected officials and party leaders. Those filling the delegate slots will be named at the Democrats’ state convention on May 14, Lubin said.

herself two hours later when she broke her ankle, Taylor said. “We expected, obviously, to run calls there once the park opened, but I think it’s just kind of overwhelming when you think we’re running a lot of calls and having to fly out a lot of people,” he said. Eight to 12 firefighters typically respond to a mountain rescue call and have to carry rescue baskets, ropes and medical gear up the trails. One thing that helps emergency crews at Skyline is trail markers that were placed every quarter mile to show hikers how far along they are. The markers have been synched up with the Phoenix Fire Department’s dispatch team, so GPS coordinates can be given to firefighters if needed, Taylor said. “It makes it easier for us to access, because some of those trails are pretty difficult and the equipment we lug up there is heavy,” he said. “You don’t really know — the information we were given yesterday was pretty vague, so we’ve got to come prepared.” Being prepared is also something Taylor strongly recommends for hikers, including having plenty of water, wearing sunscreen and a hat, hiking in pairs and letting someone know where you’ll be hiking and when you expect to return, he said. Hikers also need to keep an out for wildlife, because the warmer weather attracts more than people to the trails, Taylor said. “You never know what’s lurking up there,” he said. “Even in the Verrado area, we’ve seen coyotes and there have been some feral pigs.”

Anyone registered as a Democrat can run to be a delegate to the national convention, which will be July 25-28 in Philadelphia with 4,763 delegates. But Lubin said that the delegate selection process is complicated by a requirement to select delegates in line with affirmative action goals, with slots for women, youth, minorities, the disabled and the LGBT community. “The delegation has to be as equally balanced as possible,” she said. Lubin noted that since the ballot was prepared weeks ago, it includes Martin O’Malley, who has dropped out of the race, as well as several fringe candidates who are unlikely to achieve the 15 percent of the vote required to be represented by a delegate. The Republican ballot includes names such as Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, Rand Paul, Carly Fiorina and others from the formerly large field of candidates. Members of the Green Party have the choice of two candidates. State law mandates that delegates are bound to vote for candidates they’ve been elected to represent on the first ballot at the national conventions, said Matthew Roberts, director of communications for the Arizona Secretary of State, the office responsible for overseeing state elections. Roberts noted that Arizona’s vote is identified as a Presidential Preference Election, not a primary, since voters are taking steps to select delegates rather than candidates. Arizona voters return to the polls on Aug. 30 for the state primary to decide candidates for U.S. Senate and House and state and local races. The general election is Nov. 8. Roberts said the state has conducted the Presidential Preference Election since 1992, but if Secretary of State Michele Reagan has her way, it could be the last time the state is responsible for such an election. The state Legislature is considering Reagan’s proposal to give the mechanism for selecting delegates back to the parties, which could finance future elections or go to a caucus system, similar to Iowa and Nevada, where voters attend meetings to indicate their support for candidates. Roberts said the proposal could save the state $10 million. Lubin said the state Democrats oppose the plan, which could reduce voter participation. Sifert said Republicans haven’t taken a stand on the issue.

OUR VIEWPOINT

DAY’S OPINION — Cagle Cartoons

EDITORIAL

2 wrongs don’t make a Rubio Poor Marco. He almost made it through the primaries as the bigger man. Now, just as it’s presumably wrapping up, he’s mud wrestling with the Donald. Digging deep with cheap shots at Trump’s toupee, spray tan, small hands and bladder control issues. We know, we know, Trump started it. But when Trump knocks his competition’s appearance, he comes off as a jerk. When Rubio does it, he comes off as small and desperate. And incredibly foolish. Because it’s not hurting Trump. But it is turning off former Rubio supporters. We don’t know why lobbing such infantile attacks works for Trump and not for Rubio (or anyone else for that matter) but them’s the breaks. Two wrongs don’t make a right. What’s good for the gander isn’t always good for the gander. At the time of this writing, Super Tuesday was still 24 hours away, so while we could predict that Carson and Kasich would have dropped by the time you’re reading this, Rubio and Ted Cruz were still up in the air. At the time of this writing, Cruz had 17 delegates and Rubio had 16, but considering Rubio hadn’t won a single primary, we were thinking he’d drop before Cruz. And instead of being remembered as the candidate who spoke eloquently, displayed optimism and stuck to the issues, he would be remembered as Little Marco. Little Marco who had a meltdown near the end of the primaries. Little Marco who ran around the playground telling all the other kids that Donald pees his pants and is less than endowed. Little Marco who apparently wasn’t old enough to remember the Dean Scream that effectively snuffed out Howard Dean’s run for the Democratic nod 12 years ago. But more than that, turned him into a caricature and overshadowed any of his accomplishments. Let’s face it, when we hear the name Howard Dean, our knee jerk reaction is to scream “Yeeeaaaah!” We don’t think Rubio is going to win the Republican nod, but we respected him and thought he would make a good president before he fell from grace. But much like Dean’s “I have a scream speech,” we think Rubio’s potty mouthed mud slinging will be his demise. And instead of making another run in four, eight years (just like Dean didn’t), he will be kicking himself for losing it and throwing a temper tantrum at the end of the primaries. Poor Marco.

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.

Debate was embarrassing Editor: As Democrats, we couldn’t have been happier watching the Republican debate Saturday night. Embarrassed, too, to witness the bad behavior of the GOP candidates being broadcast all over the world. These laughable contenders for Presidency were joyfully bent on destroying each other and the dignity of their party. It really was akin to watching 8 year-olds arguing at recess in the schoolyard. “You’re a liar! “No, you’re a liar!” “Well, you’re a dooty-head!” “Am not!” “Are so!” .... The only adult in the group with the possibility of running a winning Republican campaign is John Kasich. Therefore, we can only hope he doesn’t get the nomination. Steve & Ellie Berliner Buckeye

Reasons for verbal attacks?

Mayor should be full-time job

Editor: Over the years we have read one letter writer verbally attack another. This seems to be one of the main reasons some people even write their letters. Yes, I have been guilty as well. Do any of us have a valid reason? Here is what some will say, “He had his facts wrong!” or “Well, that is just his opinion!” and of course the well liked, “How could anyone believe that!?” I’m sure we’ll have at least three people who will know where this quote comes from that I’m now going to put in … “The LORD looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any that act wisely, that seek after God. They have all gone astray, they are all alike corrupt; there is none that does good, no, not one.” … Since this puts us all in the same boat, I guess it is OK to still write letters to the Editor. Hopefully, my putting this in doesn’t offend the people at W.V.V.? By the way something has happened (shall I blame the Post Office) since the paper only is Wednesday now, I’m getting my paper sometimes on Friday and sometimes on Saturday? This does keep me days behind everyone else. Yesterday’s News is Old news!

Editor: Often, people write editorials to vent frustration. This is not one of those letters. I moved to Buckeye in 2003. The city council was a mess. Petty infighting, lack of leadership, negative press and personal agendas were the way it was. Along came Jackie Meck. Born and raised in Buckeye, this guy had a true love for his (then) town. He saw the cross hairs of growth and tradition in conflict and squarely on his beloved town. He has managed to sway the “good ole boys” that growth is not the enemy and it is inevitable. He has convinced the new comers that they matter just as much as the good ole boys. Jackie has done it, full time, for much of his two terms in office and with little to no pay. Buckeye has a bright, explosive future forthcoming and much of it is due to Jackie. Buckeye needs the position of Mayor to be a full time job. We aren’t the sleepy little town of 5,000 residents in 2000. Buckeye is now a city over 60,000 people and could easily be 300,000 people in the next few decades. In closing, I want to say, thank you Verlyne (Jackie’s wife). We know it was all you.

Uneducated = Republicans Editor: Doug Doucey: Governor This Republican is a smart man. He knows that if he keeps monies from schools and colleges, that students will not get a good education, and no education they will be Republicans. But if he gives them money, they will get a good education, and they will become Democrates. I guess these Republicans figure you don’t have to study to be stupid. Alfred C. Molina Tonopah

Shooting blanks II Editor: Re: “Gun control.” WVV Feb. 17th. How many ways can someone say “nonsense” without resorting to vulgar euphemisms that refer to bovine fecal matter? The writer demands that law abiding gun owners be required to jump through yet more hoops in order to exercise a constitutionally protected civil right. Compare the contents of “gun control,” with his avid support of Obamas nuclear deal with Iran. His opinion is precisely the kind of impairment that the Founders feared when they specified in the Second Amendment that the right to keep and bear arms “shall not be infringed.” Criminals, by their very nature DO NOT OBEY LAWS, so they are certainly not going to obey several more laws that make it more difficult for the honest citizen to arm his or herself. To suggest otherwise is to engage in foolishness, with an emphasis on “fool.” The “gun show loophole” is a myth. A string of studies by the FBI and BJS have consistently shown

that a very tiny minority of criminals, 1.7 percent, obtained their firearms from gun shows. An assault on gun rights is an assault on all civil rights, a proposition which may be difficult for the writer of “gun control” to grasp. I do think that all guns should be secured in a gun safe when the house is unoccupied but that should be the decision of the individual, not “big brother.” I suspect the writer of “gun control” suffers from “hoplophobia” an affliction characterized by an irrational aversion to weapons. He shares this malady with other contributors to “letters.” For liberty and freedom. Respectfully of course. DJ Hammond Buckeye

Restore higher education Editor: No state has had more funding cut from their universities than Arizona in the past year. We cut $99 million last year. One might thing that we were facing a budget crisis and it was absolutely necessary; however, when the final numbers were in the state had a surplus of more than $1 billion. The universities (3) have asked that $24 million be restored, yet none of the vocal elected proponents of higher education have come forward to propose that this be done. What happened to the part of the Arizona constitution that calls for “as nearly free as possible” state university education? John Munoz Avondale

Doubting Thomases Editor: Dear Mr. Thomas Moores & Mr. Thomas Brosius: Please do not exaggerate what I said in my letter January 20th. I merely stated the verified fact that so far Iran has complied with the agreement, and for the first

(8439)

time in a decade they no longer have the uranium needed to build a nuclear weapon. Your doubts this agreement will be a success, based on the past, is a valid point. However, this agreement has something the past agreements did not; An incentive to comply. The Iran agreement has a snap-back provision that we can utilize if Iran violates it. That means, all the lifted sanctions can be reinstated instantly, all the assets refrozen, and then, Iran will loose out on all the new business they are getting now with countries who previously were not allowed to trade them. Also, Iran has agreed to be subject to the most intrusive set of inspections and verification processes of any country ever. They cannot simply “hide” enriched uranium because the radiation produced leaves behind a signature for hundreds of years that can be detected even if they paint or concrete over it. The IAEA (the nuclear watchdogs who do the inspections) know what the current radiation levels are, and will know if they increase (indicating a violation of the agreement).

Will some of the $150K be used to sponsor terrorism? Possibly, but we have separate sanctions against Iran for that type of activity. If you are truly concerned about Iran’s sponsoring activities, then you should be calling for an increase of those sanctions. Seriously gentlemen, the brokers

 OPINIONS

Church cites need for additional exit to keep up with growth by Kathleen Stinson staff writer

by Shane McOwen staff writer

Hello again, readers. Welcome to the Business Briefcase! I admit, I’m not much of a movie buff, and I’m certainly not an award-show expert, but the news of Leonardo DiCaprio’s winning an Academy Award for best actor found its way across my desk. Congratulations to him, it’s been a long time coming. I know that, because unlike film accolades, I am well-versed in Internet memes. Those are the silly photos with a funny caption printed over them, in case you don’t know. Usually a funny caption, anyway. Shane McOwen Basically, 25 percent (rough math) of the memes out there are about DiCaprio’s not winning an Oscar. I’m curious as to what will happen going forward now. Will there be a running joke to take its place? Will the Internet just shut down? I’m sure some clever folks are filling the void as we speak, coming up with the next great meme that everyone will be tired of within a year. Let’s get down to business, shall we? Thompson’s Flower Shop has moved to a new location in Goodyear, 406 N. Litchfield Road, Suite 212. The flower shop is hosting a ribbon cutting event to celebrate the move at 6 p.m. March 10. Thompson’s Flower Shop offers a variety of flower and vase options and has a next-day delivery option. Thompson’s sent the West Valley View office a nice card and flowers to fill us in on the news. The card made it to my desk, but the flowers somehow ended up with a coworker. I guess she didn’t think I was very trustworthy with living things. In other news, it’s not exactly the best time to own stock in furniture companies, at least the local ones. Oasis Bedrooms, 1465 N. Dysart Road in Avondale, closed its doors for good Monday. Oasis Bedrooms served the Valley for 46 years, but announced the closing of all four stores in 2015. The Avondale location was the first to shut off its lights, and stores in Phoenix, Glendale and Mesa will soon follow suit. RoomStore filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in December and is promoting its going-out-of-business sale online. Details aren’t yet clear on what will happen to the Goodyear location at 555 N. Litchfield Road. The company has announced it’s closing the Mesa location. The Goodyear store will be open at least through June, an inquiry to the company revealed. Check back with the Briefcase for more information as it comes about. Carter’s is coming to Goodyear in the Palm Valley Pavilions West shopping center, 1400 N. Litchfield Road. The children’s clothing retailer has a presence all over the country (and Canada!). Wyoming doesn’t have a store, so can’t quite say the company is in all 50 states, but it’s close. That’s all for this week, everyone. Send tips, questions and comments to smcowen@westvalleyview.com.

What happens when a quiet neighborhood street is asked to give way to nearby commercial development? Although not an uncommon occurrence, several residents of Wade Acres, an urban agricultural zoned neighborhood near Van Buren Street and 161st Avenue in Goodyear, are passionately in opposition. Wade Acres is a small community consisting of a few streets and homes on large lots. Several properties have horses that can be seen from the street as they leisurely mill around their corrals. A number of the residents have called the subdivision home for decades. The issue is 161st Avenue is the one street in and out of the neighborhood and Compass Church at 16060 W. Van Buren St. is asking the city’s permission to open its emergency driveway onto 161st Avenue to all vehicles during Sunday services and events. The residents object to the increase in traffic for a variety reasons, and their opposition dates back to 2003. In 1999, the city approved a use permit to allow Compass Church to be constructed. In 2003, the city approved another use permit to allow the church to add a childcare facility, according to a city staff report. At the time the city approved the childcare use permit, the church constructed a driveway to provide only emergency fire access to 161st Avenue, according to the report. The restriction was because of residents’ concerns about the increase in traffic. Since that time, the church has grown and is in the process of constructing a 5,000-square-foot expansion, said Tim Jacobs, lead pastor of Compass Church. In 2015, the church applied for an amendment to its use permit asking the city to remove the stipulation prohibiting vehicular access except for emergency vehicles. It wants the driveway open during its three Sunday services, its service on Saturday, special events and programs. The daycare center is no longer using the property. David Hurtado, executive pastor of Compass Church, said cars exiting the church after service back up waiting to get onto the street and the church needs a second exit out of its property. At a December public hearing before the Planning & Zoning Commission, Wade Acres resident Kitty Robinson said she has lived in the neighborhood 31 years. Robinson said the church made an agreement with the neighborhood in 1999 that the northwest driveway would be used for emergency vehicles only. “Promises made should be promises kept,” she said. Joan Usher, another resident of the neighborhood, said she moved to the area because it was agricultural. “I felt secure we wouldn’t be dealing with these types of issues,” such as loud activities and traffic, Usher said. She said she drives a large horse trailer and the additional traffic from the church could make it “virtually impossible” to access her property. Another neighbor, Kelly Cesare, spoke at the public hearing before the council in January and said 161st Avenue is not “set up to handle” the increase in traffic.

GRAVEL sits between the Compass Church parking lot and 161st Avenue in Goodyear. The church is asking the city to connect the two to ease traffic during Sunday services and other events, but residents of Wade Acres oppose the plan as 161st Avenue is the only road into their neighborhood. Vernon Rogers, another resident of Wade Acres, said children walk along the street to school every day and additional traffic could present a safety issue. The city Planning & Zoning Commission held another public hearing on the issue in November, at which a number of residents voiced their opinions. The hearing was tabled to Dec. 16. At the December hearing, a motion to approve the amendment failed by a vote of 2-3. The case was brought before the council again on Jan. 25, and many residents repeated their concerns. After more than two hours, the council voted unanimously to continue the matter to give city staff, the applicant and the neighborhood another opportunity to find a solution agreeable to all parties. The motion did not specify a time frame. Several Wade Acres residents have said they want the church to construct a driveway to connect with an Arizona Public Service Co. substation access road instead of opening the driveway to 161st Avenue. The substation road is located directly east of the church and traffic after the services would exit onto the road and out on Van Buren Street. The church’s representative Mark Phillips of CCBG Architects, a Phoenix-based firm, spoke for the church at the December meeting. He said the cost of building the driveway to the APS road would be between $50,000 and $70,000 — about twice the cost of opening the emergency driveway onto 161st Avenue in the Wade Acres development. City planning department staff met Dec. 8 with some of the residents, who said Van Buren Street should be completed so it has two travel lanes in each direction, the city’s report states. The current opening on 161st Avenue as it meets Van Buren is narrow. On the northwest corner of Van Buren Street and 161st Avenue is a vacant property zoned commercial office (See Road on Page A9)

that if developed would likely also want access to 161st Avenue, so the neighborhood could face additional traffic besides the church if the land is developed. Rebecca Zook, director of engineering for Goodyear, said the city does not have immediate plans to make improvements to Van Buren Street in that area. “In the city’s current Capital Improvement Program, we have budgeted for the design of Van Buren [Street] between Sarival Road and Estrella Parkway,” Zook stated. “In fiscal year 2018 (which runs from July 1, 2017, to June 30, 2018), the city has identified the construction of this same section of Van Buren Street. “If the commercial office development on the northwest corner of 161st Avenue and Van Buren comes in before the capital project, they will either build their improvements or provide the city with funding for their proportionate share of the improvements and dedicate the rights of way to the city, Zook said. “If the roadway project is completed prior to the commercial office being developed, they would pay their share if the city executes a cost recovery resolution for the specific project,” she stated. At the Dec. 8 meeting, residents also said there is “insufficient space in the turn lane on Van Buren Street onto 161st Avenue,” as stated in the staff report. City staff recommended the city stripe a center lane at the intersection on Van Buren that currently has a left turn into 161st Avenue and a left turn into Wildflower Ranch, a subdivision to the south of Wade Acres. The stripe would instead create a turn island so vehicles could make those turns but have room for cars to stack up without backing up traffic. Wade Acres resident Robert Robinson said at the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting that re-striping Van Buren would create more of an issue than it would solve because of competition for the lane from oncoming traffic. Several residents also said church members have been parking on both sides of 161st Avenue during services, which causes a safety concern. In response to the issue, the city recently decided to post “no parking” signs on one side of the road the entire length so fire trucks and other emergency vehicles could access the neighborhood. Jacobs said at the council meeting the driveway to the APS substation would have to be torn up when the church expands in the future, according to its master plan. Councilman Bill Stipp said the city owes the residents a solution. Kathleen Stinson can be reached at kstinson@westvalleyview.com.

The Buckeye Police Department has created a prescription drop-off box for the safe disposal of unwanted medications and to keep them out of the hands of illegal users. The box is at the Sundance Crossings Police Department at 21699 W. Yuma Road, Suite 104, in Buckeye. The public can drop off unwanted medication from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays. Buckeye Assistant Police Chief Bob Sanders said the box is a way to prevent teens from getting the medicine and using it as drugs. Some youths sell the pills as narcotics, Sanders said. Others experiment with prescription drugs to see the side effects. “We needed an outlet for the destruction of drugs other than a toilet or landfill,” he said. The pills can affect the water supply if not properly disposed of, and Sanders said he spoke with some people in Phoenix who found traces of prescription drugs while treating water. The drop-off box has been available since late December. “It really is important to educate the community about how to properly dispose of unwanted or expired prescription medicine so they don’t get in the wrong hands and are misused,” said Thalia Williams, program coordinator of DrugFreeAZkids, a prevention program of Southwest Behavioral & Health Services in Arizona. “The drop box program has been successful in other cities across the state and we would like to replicate that success in Buckeye,” Williams said. She said a survey done in 2014 showed that 20 percent of 10th- and 12th-grade high school students in Buckeye have used prescription pills to “get high.” “It definitely is a serious problem,” she said. DrugFreeAZkids.org is a program that educates parents on how to talk to their children about substance abuse, she said. The idea to start a drop-off box in Buckeye came out of discussions with the Way Out West Coalition, Sanders said. The Buckeye coalition focuses on reducing substance abuse and underage drinking in eighth- to 12th-graders by working with parents, according to its website.

HAYDEN LONGBONS, 14, of Waddell, Charlize Zimbleman, 15, of Buckeye, and Blake Ashby, 14, of Litchfield Park, practice Feb. 12 for the upcoming World Archery Festival’s Vegas Shoot.

Taking aim West Valley youths set sights on archery competitions by Glenn Gullickson staff writer

Archery is right on target for a trio of West Valley friends who are aiming for the bull’s-eye with their bow and arrow skills. Blake Ashby, Hayden Longbons and Charlize Zimbleman, all freshmen at Verrado High School in Buckeye, recently competed in World Archery Festival’s Vegas Shoot, which claims to be the world’s largest indoor archery tournament. “You have to be at least semi-good to get in,” Blake said of the event in Las Vegas that attracted 3,000 archers. Blake, 14, the son of Ken and Rebecca Ashby of Litchfield Park, participated in an adult competition for the first time, finishing 50th in the championship barebow division. Using an Olympic-style recurve bow, Blake’s competition involved shooting 30 arrows 20 feet from the target in three rounds over three days of the event, he said. Hayden competed in a youth division for ages 10 to 14 and Charlize in a young adult division for ages 15 to 17 in freestyle competitions using a compound bow with sights and stabilizers to shoot two rounds over two days. Competing in Vegas for the third year, Hayden finished 34th in his division. The youths, who said they were friends before they each coincidentally became interested in archery, also competed in February’s Arizona Junior Olympic Archery Development Championships.

The sport has made a resurgence recently that can be attributed to pop culture, with archery featured in video games and movies such as The Hunger Games, according to Brad Kathrins, who is Charlize’s instructor at Corner Archery in Glendale. Charlize, 15, the daughter of Allen and Chandra Zimbleman of Buckeye, said she didn’t care much for archery when she first tried it while attending camp, but then became fascinated with it about three years ago. She recently achieved the top rank elite status in the Junior Olympic Archery Development program. “She’s one of those students who’s kind of a natural,” Kathrins said. Charlize practices three or four days a week and attends classes every Saturday, where socialization is one of the draws. “I like the people at my club, they’re really fun,” Charlize said. Charlize said she’d like to continue to compete in archery as a college student and perhaps become a coach. Blake and Hayden said they’ve got big archery ambitions, with hopes of making the Olympic team someday. They recently competed in a tournament in Chula Vista, Calif., the site of the Olympic Training Center. Blake, who also trains at Corner Archery, started archery with a hand-medown bow about two years ago when he got classes as a birthday gift. Since then, Blake said he’s participated in about 20 local and regional

competitions. “It’s a really fun sport and you don’t have to be super athletic to do it,” said Blake, who plays football, but has given up baseball and swimming teams to concentrate on archery. Blake said he practices for 30 minutes to an hour almost every day. “You have to put in the time if you want to get good,” he said. Hayden, 14, the son of Brian and Dee Longbons of Waddell, said he shoots almost every day, an effort that’s paid off by winning the 2016 Arizona Indoor Cadet title. He started competing shortly after taking up archery about four years ago when an older brother got him interested in the sport. Hayden shoots with a club at Pineapple Archery in Glendale and has private lessons with Mel Nichols, who is a U.S. Olympic coach. “It has taught me a lot about discipline and dedication,” said Hayden, who plans to compete in more tournaments this year around the country. Amy Ziegler, a coach at Corner Archery, said youths gain focus and concentration as they practice archery. “Once these kids are up on the line, it’s all about them and their shot,” she said. “It kind of leaks into the rest of their lives. All of a sudden, their school work reflects better.” Corner Archery has up to 120 students attending five levels of classes for youths from 6 to 20 years old, Ziegler said. Classes for adults are also offered.

AAA Arizona is seeking nominations for its ninth annual Crossing Guard of the Year contest. Each winning school and guard will receive $500. AAA is encouraging pupils, parents, school staff, faculty, administrators and community members to nominate candidates who they believe deserve the designation. Self nominations will also be accepted. The deadline to submit nominations is March 11. Winners will be recognized on Crossing Guard Appreciation Day on April 29.

Local McDonald’s brews recycling project with school by Glenn Gullickson staff writer

Members of an environmental club at a school in Goodyear are learning that coffee grounds have uses beyond brewing a hot cup of joe. The club at Desert Star School has partnered with a local McDonald’s to recycle coffee grounds in campus gardens. It’s part of an effort by McDonald’s called “Good Neighbors Good Grounds” that has enlisted scores of schools in Arizona to recycle thousands of pounds of coffee grounds. Annie Shanahan, a Desert Star social studies teacher who is the adviser of the environmental club, said the project is part of the group’s campus recycling effort. Shanahan started making weekly trips to the McDonald’s at 623 N. Estrella Parkway in January to pick up buckets of the coffee grounds. The 25 seventh- and eighth-grade pupils

in the club sprinkle grounds on top of mulch in the seven vegetable garden beds and around three fruit trees they tend at the campus, she said. “It’s kind of hands-on learning,” Shanahan said. “It’s fun for the kids, and I get to learn, too.” Coffee grounds are high in one of the three main nutrients plants need to grow and give the vegetation a green color, Shanahan said. But she noted there can be too much of a good thing in using the coffee grounds, which act as slow-release plant food, so the excess grounds go to a composting project the club recently started. According to a study by Waste Management, each McDonald’s restaurant averages 29.5 pounds of coffee grounds a day or 11,000 pounds a year. That was material that previously went into the trash at the Goodyear restaurant, according to Melanie Ramirez, operations director of Mellon and Sons, which

operates 17 McDonald’s restaurants. “We jumped right on board with the program,” Ramirez said. “It’s a great opportunity to focus on recycling. It’s a great way for McDonald’s to give back and help the community.” Statewide, about 120 schools with the Arizona Department of Education School Garden Program are participating in the recycling project, according to Rhonda Grundeman, a publicist for McDonald’s who pairs the restaurants with schools. Mellon and Sons also recycles coffee grounds from a restaurant in Surprise and was scheduled to start the project earlier this month at another store in Goodyear partnering with Palm Valley Elementary, Ramirez said. For information about the program, contact Grundeman at 602-739-8810. Glenn Gullickson can be reached at ggullickson@westvalleyview.com.

Owls’ wings clipped by Matadors in finals Agua Fria struggles against suffocating Shadow Mountain defense by Casey Pritchard sports editor

Agua Fria was up against a juggernaut in the Division II state championship game. Shadow Mountain proved to be way too much for the Owls. Top-seeded Shadow Mountain took an early lead and kept building, going on to an 86-55 victory over No. 2 Agua Fria Monday at Gila River Arena in Glendale. “I’m proud of my team,” Agua Fria coach Randy Lavender said. “They did a lot. To go all the way to the state finals, it’s pretty tough [to lose], but I’m proud of them.” Agua Fria looked overmatched from the start, unable to penetrate through the Matadors’ aggressive defense. Shadow Mountain (27-5), which didn’t lose to an Arizona school all season, scored the first seven points and never trailed. “It’s hard to simulate what they do, and we don’t have any practice time,” Lavender said. “To win Saturday, be off Sunday, then play Monday, it did affect them. I wish we had more practice time, but [Shadow Mountain is] a great team.” Agua Fria responded with a 7-2 run, which ended on a Bryce Fowler 3-pointer with 3:10 remaining in the first quarter, but it never got closer than two points the rest of the way. The Owls made some inroads in the second quarter, but it was never enough to gain the lead. Isaiah Johns scored six straight points, hitting a triple and then converting a three-point play after he was fouled on a put back, but Shadow Mountain scored the next four to push the lead to nine, 31-22. Justice Cook then scored four points in a row for Agua Fria, making a sweet move on a driving layup and then hitting a pair of free throws, which made it 31-26. However, the Matadors ended the first half on a 10-3 run, taking a 41-29 advantage. From there, the lead continued to grow, reaching 20 points at the end of the third quarter. With three minutes to go in the fourth quarter, Shadow Mountain’s Jalen House hit a 3-pointer, putting the Matadors up 80-49 and eliciting the running-clock mercy rule. Shadow Mountain was led by Michael Bibby, who had 22 points. J.J. Rhymes added 18. Agua Fria’s top three scorers struggled mightily in the championship. Jordan McCants and Darnell Cowart each went 0 for 9 from the field, while Fowler made just 1 of 5 shots. McCants and Cowart had been huge in the semifinals. “I think with them having an off game, and [Shadow Mountain] focusing on those two guys, it really hurt them,” Lavender said. “It was a bad time to have off days.” Johns scored 14 points to pace the Owls, while Isaiah Olvera added 13 and Cook had 10. McCants, Cowart and Fowler had just three points apiece. Agua Fria struggled to take care of the ball, turning it over 18 times, which led to 25 points for Shadow Mountain. The Matadors also had 16 fast-break points

to the Owls’ none. Scoring in transition is something Lavender called his team’s “bread and butter” during the semifinals. “We couldn’t really put it on them because they’re used to the pressure, and my guys are starting to wear out,” Lavender said. “So, if I would have kept pressuring them, then it would have been more up and down, and I think they would have had too much energy.” Second-chance points were also detrimental to the Owls. Shadow Mountain had 25 second-chance points to Agua Fria’s five. “It hurt because Bryce got into foul trouble, so I had to pull him out,” Lavender said. “Bryce, he averages, the last 10-12 games, like 12 rebounds, and we had to pull him out, so we got smaller.” Despite the loss, Agua Fria had a tremendous season. The Owls went 28-3 and had won 23 consecutive games until the state championship. “That’s something I don’t see happening again, it’s great,” Lavender said. “You can’t follow that up. It’s a great season.”

Semifinals Agua Fria advanced to the championship with a 71-68 victory over No. 19 Peoria Sunrise Mountain Feb. 27. The Owls won a seesaw battle against the Mustangs with strong defense and good free-throw shooting down the stretch. McCants went 6 of 6 from the charity stripe while Agua Fria was in the bonus, and on the Owls’ lone miss from the line, by Olvera, McCants stole the ball away from Sunrise Mountain after it had secured the rebound. “I just had to come up with a big play for my team,” McCants said. “I was hitting free throws down the stretch and made a big play.” McCants is a 75 percent free-throw shooter this season. He finished the game with 25 points, while adding seven steals. “Jordan McCants has been doing that all season long, hitting free throws, coming through, holding the team together,” Lavender said. “I probably rely on him too much because I can’t take him out.” Agua Fria fell behind early, but came back to tie the score at 19-19 at the end of the first quarter. In the second stanza, the Owls’ defense blitzed Sunrise, creating turnover after turnover. It helped the Owls start that period on a 12-0 run. “That’s one of our bread and butters,” Lavender said. “For a second, we’re down two, then all of a sudden steal, then another one, then another one. That’s what we rely on.” However, Agua Fria’s 31-19 lead evaporated quickly. Sunrise responded with the next 11 points, and took a 35-33 lead on Elijah Thomas’ driving layup with five seconds remaining in the half. McCants would have the last say, though, banking one in from just in front of half court at the buzzer. That gave the Owls a 36-35 lead at intermission. The second half went back and forth, with neither team leading by more than five. Cowart scored 10 of his 14 points in the

Sunrise was led by Thomas, who matched McCants’ 25 points. “Elijah, all we could really do was make him work hard,” Lavender said. “He’s a big guy; we had to make him work the full 32 minutes.”

Quarterfinals In the Feb. 25 quarterfinals, Agua Fria advanced on a buzzer beater. Cowart’s step-back jumper bounced off the back iron and seemed to balance there as time stood still. The ball rolled the Owls’ way, moving forward and down through the net as the buzzer sounded, lifting Agua Fria over No. 10 Tucson Catalina Foothills 61-59 in overtime. “[Catalina Foothills] is a good team,”

Lavender said. “They play hard. Anybody could have won tonight. Darnell’s shot, going up and bouncing off and falling in … Of course I’m excited we won, but I do feel for those guys. They played hard, they played well.” The game-winning play wasn’t initially designed for Cowart, Lavender said. “I would love to say they executed perfectly, that it was a great play,” Lavender said. The play was set up for McCants, who had the hot hand for much of the game. McCants was supposed to get the ball coming down the sideline, using his speed and quickness to spring an opening toward the rim. Catalina Foothills defended the initial look well, loading the inbound-side of the court, taking away McCants’ clear (See Clipped on Page A14)

Hanna’s Original Italian Ice opened on December 14, 2014 but the recipe they use is almost 30 years old! They are a second generation Italian Ice shop that also serves Frozen Custard and Gelati’s (Italian Ice/ Custard mixture). Originally from the Midwest (Rockford, IL., just outside of Chicago), owners Stephanie and Jeff Lawson along with their daughter Hanna moved to Arizona in 2011 and noticed the lack of quality Italian Ice so Jeff quit his job as a union electrician and Stephanie got her parents’ ice recipe and the rest is delicious history. Hanna’s is unique in that it is authentic Italian Ice and their custard is rich and creamy which makes their Gelati’s undeniably cool and refreshing. They offer 16 Italian Ice flavors; 10 “regulars” (banana, black raspberry, blue raspberry, cotton candy, lemon, peach, pina colada, pomegranate, sour apple, and strawberry), and 6 that “rotate” weekly. They also sell Flavorburst which is a syrup flavoring available on the Vanilla Custard. Quarts and half gallons are available for take home enjoyment. Hanna’s supports local school night fundraisers which can be easily booked by calling or emailing. Jeff, Stephanie, and Hanna would like to thank all of our customers who continue to support us and we welcome those of you who haven’t tried us yet to stop in for a sample. We are a locally owned, small dessert shop with an interesting backstory. We have something for everyone!

path to the hoop. McCants pulled back and delivered a pass to Cowart at the left elbow. “It was a quick out of bounds [play] to Jordan, he was supposed to inbound it and go, but he watched,” Lavender said. “He got it into Darnell, and didn’t force it. Darnell turned himself and threw up the hook, and I [said], ‘Please, please.’” Cowart’s shot was a little long, but went through the net, answering the Owls’ prayers. Cowart’s shot capped a strong effort from Agua Fria, but things didn’t start out so rosy for Agua Fria. The team shot poorly in the first half, going 9 of 23 from the field, and 0 for 5 from beyond the arc. Agua Fria had eight turnovers in the first half and didn’t play the Owls’ brand of basketball, Lavender said. “We had a lot of turnovers, a lot of jitters,” Lavender said. “We played at their pace. Our pace is quicker, theirs is not ours.” The Owls wasted no time changing the nature of the game in the third quarter. Agua Fria went from being down by three at the start of the half to up by nine by the three-minute mark of the third. Agua Fria lit up the scoreboard, hanging 26 on Catalina Foothills in the frame, eight points more than the Owls had in the entire first half. “In the third quarter, the guys came out and fought more, and they put it on them,” Lavender said. “They got a feel for the guys in the second half, but they can’t wait for that.” The Owls’ 44-36 lead heading into the fourth quarter could have been even larger if not for Catalina Foothills’ Jared Irwin. Irwin hit three triples in the third quarter to keep the game close. Agua Fria’s offense sputtered in the fourth quarter. The Owls managed only seven points, and blew an eight-point lead. Agua Fria still had a chance to end it in regulation. McCants drove into the lane, taking contact from two different Foothills defenders without a foul call, and missed the potential game-winning layup. Fortunately for the Owls, everything clicked in overtime. Agua Fria scored 10 points in the four-minute period, and was perfect on both three pointers and free throws. Olvera hit a big three early in the extra quarter, and McCants added five points, going 3 of 3 from the charity stripe to give Agua Fria a 59-56 lead with less than one minute remaining. Catalina Foothills was determined to make the finish interesting, and sophomore Sam Beskind delivered. Beskind was hacked during his shot in the paint. The ball bounced in, and he calmly hit the tying free throw with 31 seconds left. The Owls had the last word; however, with Cowart hitting the biggest shot of the night, hitting the turn-around jumper over Foothills’ center Liam Giffin as time expired. McCants led the way on the Owls’ scoring front with 22 points on 8 of 17 shooting. Cowart’s presence down low was felt all night. The 6-foot-6 center scored 15 points, pulled down 16 boards and had six blocks. Olvera and Fowler each scored 11 for the Owls. Beskind had 25 points and 10 rebounds to lead Catalina Foothills in each category. Shane McOwen contributed to this story.

An annual festival that offers the opportunity to get back to nature has the added benefit of teaching those attending something about the environment. The Tres Rios Nature Festival will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at Base and Meridian Wildlife Recreation Area, 7602 S. Avondale Blvd., Avondale. Admission is free. Among the things those attending might learn is that there is water at the confluence of the rivers the festival is named for — the Gila, Salt and Agua Fria rivers. “It’s a mirage in the desert,” said Christina Underhill, who is coordinating the event as part of her job as assistant director of Avondale’s parks, recreation and libraries. The water will be the focus of some of the festival’s most popular activities, including fishing and boating, Underhill said. “It’s a chance for people to come out and get out on the river,” she said. To stage the event, Underhill said the city partners with Arizona Game & Fish, which will provide rods, reels and bait for catch-and-release fishing that won’t require a license. Anglers may also provide their own equipment. For those who want to get out on the water, Game & Fish will provide canoes, kayaks and life vests, Underhill said. Back on land, bird watching tours guided by the Sonoran Audubon Society attract another kind of bird who are on a mission, she said. “We have people who come to the festival who are snowbirds,” Underhill said. “They are birdwatchers with a list and a lot of birds will get checked off during the festival.”

Art and Wine Festival set for Saturday in Litchfield Park by Glenn Gullickson staff writer

An event that combines art and wine-tasting will have a garden party atmosphere when the Litchfield Park Art and Wine Festival sets up in downtown Litchfield Park. The 18th annual festival will be from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday on Old Litchfield Road and Wigwam Boulevard in Litchfield Park. Admission and parking are free. “We close the streets of downtown Litchfield Park to make room for a little more than 200 booths,” said Candy Vermillion, who organizes the event. Artists will show and sell acrylic paintings, watercolors, jewelry, hand-blown glass, furniture, ceramics and works in bronze and clay. “We have an eclectic mix,” Vermillion said. “From high-end paintings and sculpture down to the relatively inexpensive, there is something to appeal to everyone.” Featured artists are mixed media painter Meg Ryan and glass artists Dan and Joi LaChaussee. The event will spill from the street into Memorial Park where there will be a wine garden featuring tastings of products from 10 Arizona wineries and local breweries. Desert Diamond Distillery from Kingman will provide

Among birds that can be seen in the nature area are osprey, bald eagles and even pelicans, she said. Those seeking a less structured experience can hit hiking paths that break off of the festival area or climb Monument Hill, Underhill said. An archery range for beginning archers will feature instruction by Game & Fish. More learning opportunities will be available with exhibits, including a display of venomous rattlesnakes, Underhill said. Opportunities to learn about science, technology, engineering, arts and math education (STEAM) make the Tres Rios Festival a signature event of the Arizona SciTech Festival, Underhill said. Continuous entertainment will be provided on stage by Arizona music and dance groups, including Back Porch Bandits, the Hard Road Ramblers, Cisco & the Racecars, Human Jones Review and Danzarte Danza Folklorica. There will be demonstrations by bird dogs on Saturday and search and rescue dogs on Sunday presented by the Copper State Hunting and Retriever Club. Also on Saturday, children will be challenged to create outfits from recycled material for a fashion show. To be on the runway at noon, children from kindergarten to sixth grade should sign up by 11 a.m. Several vendors will provide food — the only thing visitors will have to pay for, Underhill said. Among the choices will be hamburgers, barbecue and fry bread. The festival has been conducted annually since 2004 and attracts 5,000 to 8,000 people, Underhill said. For more information, visit www.tresriosnaturefestival.com or call 623-333-2400.

rum tastings, Vermillion said. There will also be demonstrations by artists, ice sculpting, a farmers market and food court. It all creates a unique atmosphere at the peak of the snowbird season, she said. “Our festival is more like a big garden party,” Vermillion said. “Litchfield Park has that resort ambiance.” The weather also appeals to the artists who are selected for the juried show based on quality, originality and creativity, Vermillion said. “They come from all over,” she said. “When the weather is perfect, they come to Arizona.” Entertainment will include Bluesman Mike and the Blues Review Band, the Sahnas Brothers and Inca Gold, a group from Ecuador. Food vendors will serve up wood fired pizza, Italian sausage, tamales, lobster dishes, Asian dishes, barbecue and homemade ice cream, Vermillion said.

Dogs and dog lovers will descend on Sundance Park in Buckeye March 5 for the annual Dog Days of Buckeye. The city of Buckeye first held the event three years ago to showcase its new dog park — Sundance Park, said Philip Yabes, Buckeye Community Center manager. The city holds the event to educate people about their dogs. The event is popular and attracts between 1,200 to 1,500 people, Yabes said. Dog Days will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 22865 W. Lower Buckeye Road. Admission is free. Dogs are welcome to go and enjoy the many activities designed just for them, such as dog photos, dog tricks and the Chihuahua races, according to the city flier. “It’s very well attended because people get to see a variety of dogs and learn how to take care of their animals — their best friend,” Yabes said. Activities include demonstrations by the Phoenix Disc Dogs and the Buckeye K-9 Unit, along with pet health, nutrition and education information, according to the flier. People can also get information about “doggie resorts” and dog sitting, the flier states. Buckeye Animal Rescue and Kennel (B.A.R.K.) and other animal rescue organizations will be on hand to answer questions about their facilities. Lilia Mutka is the founder of B.A.R.K., an animal rescue funded by private donations located in Buckeye. Mutka said she thinks it helps the public to know they have the option of adopting a pet rather than buying one at the mall or from a breeder. She said B.A.R.K. takes in all animals “from chickens to horses. We have acreage — horses, a giant tortoise. It’s like a little farm.”

SURFER, an Australian cattle dog and kelpie mix, stretches out to catch a disc during a demonstration by the Phoenix Area Disc Dogs at last year’s Dog Days of Buckeye. The Disc Dogs will return to the annual event Saturday at Sundance Park in Buckeye. The rescue currently has room to take in cats, she added. She said Dog Days gives dogs an opportunity to meet other dogs. “Dogs like to be around other dogs,” she said. Dog Days provides free giveaways such as tennis balls and Frisbees for dogs to chase, she said. “Dogs can sit together, have fun and just be dogs,” she said.

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: Yukon SEX: Male AGE: 6 years old BREED: Yorkshire terrier mix OTHER: The shelter was closed this last Sunday, so we at the View have had to grab a dog off of the shelter’s website. If you are thinking of going to the shelter, you might want to call ahead to make sure it’s open. Yukon is a friendly little lap dog, according to his biography. Despite his size, he is a fully grown adult, and is very happy and sociable. Yukon was found wandering the wilderness, and was taken to the shelter. Since then, he has shown a generous amount of kindness and compassion.

Yukon Yukon needs a bit of a training and housetraining refresher, and he will need someone with some patience. However, if you are ready for this funloving guy, then stop by the shelter, they’ll be happy to help you out. To adopt Yukon or other pets from Glendale’s Sun Valley Animal Shelter, the West Valley’s largest no-kill animal shelter, call 623-872-7941 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.

The event will be from 1 to 11 p.m. Saturday and noon to 9 p.m. Sunday in Tolleson’s Paseo de Luces downtown area along Van Buren Street from 91st to 94th avenues. “When we were planning on doing events on Paseo de Luces with our beautiful street, we decided to bring in a new event to highlight that,” said Ruth Espinoza, recreation programmer of special events for the city. “Latin jazz is just different, and something we’ve never done in our city before.” Entertainment will include Joey Navarro, Pete Escobedo, the Jaleo Band and multiple mariachi bands.

In addition to the music, the street will be filled with vendors selling crafts and food. Van Buren will be closed from 91st to 94th avenues starting at 4 a.m. Saturday until at least midnight on Sunday. The following is a schedule of events:

Marilyn Lawson Smith Marilyn Lawson Smith died after complications from emergency surgery four weeks prior in the wonderful care of Hospice of the Valley on February 25th. She was born to Jean Gamble Lawson and Dynes Lawson in Glendale, CA on December 20, 1934. As the daughter of a WWII Army officer, the family moved frequently during her childhood, but summers on Payette Lake in McCall, Idaho at her grandparents’ house were a joyous constant. She became an accomplished water skier over the years, even appearing on the cover of a magazine holding the tow rope behind her knee. After his Army career, the family settled in Eagle Rock, CA where Marilyn attended and graduated from Eagle Rock High. Marilyn chose to attend the University of Arizona and travelled to Tucson aboard the train with only her trunk and her excitement for beginning her new adventure. She joined the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority and embraced her new life away from home, thoroughly enjoying all the new friends she made. Midway through her sophomore year she met an Arizona student named Stan Smith, who initially seemed reserved, but quickly swept her off her feet. They married that August before Stan’s Air Force commitment commenced, cementing a love affair that lasted until the day she died. They settled in the Valley and after Stan served his two years in the Air Force, he joined his father Leo in farming on the West side and Marilyn settled into the role of a happy homemaker. Their family quickly formed with the birth of son, Tim and daughter, Leslie, and their future looked bright. Unfortunately, her struggle with illness began. After a few set backs she mastered her condition and flourished despite her disease for 45 years. Stan’s diligent care and loving patience greatly helped make this possible. Marilyn was a naturally social person and made many friends when she and Stan first started their family in Phoenix and then throughout the next 43 years in Litchfield Park. She always enjoyed playing bridge and became an enthusiastic and accomplished participant in several bridge groups. She had a regular exercise group and also was involved with Garden Club, Assistance League, Phoenix Cotton Wives, and volunteering with the Beatitudes. Marilyn developed a wide circle of friends throughout her life which greatly enriched her life as well as the lives of her friends. Much to Stan’s chagrin Marilyn loved to shop for herself and her grandkids. She was famous for always being impeccably dressed and perfectly put together. Marilyn was never seen without her outfit coordinating tastefully from head to toe. Marilyn and Stan had admired a cabin with a meadow on Tonto Creek while visiting their friends the Royden’s and were able to acquire this dream vacation cabin in Bear Flat in 1976. They spent every summer there, enjoying the cool air and the view together. Visits from their children and grandchildren were always looked forward to and they all have great Bear Flat stories. Marilyn and Stan loved to travel and over the years they literally traveled the world together. Many of the adventures were enjoyed with Mary Ann and Frank Hunt, Stan’s sister and brother-in-law as well as their close friends Bob and Margaret Schulke. Marilyn was always devastated by the untimely death of her only sibling, Clement, in a tragic auto accident when he was only in his early 20s. She is survived by her husband of 61 years, Stan Smith and her beloved dog Cesar as well her children Tim (Terry) Smith and Leslie (Will) Rousseau, grandchildren Stafford (Kari) Smith, Kristin (Aaron) Latham, Bryan Smith, Lindsey (Brett) Rousseau-Hunt, Chad Smith, Jenna Rousseau, Dustin Smith, Brooke Smith, and eight great-grandchildren that she adored. A memorial service will be held on March 5th at 2pm at the Church at Litchfield Park, 300 Old Litchfield Road, Litchfield Park, Arizona 85340. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Church of Litchfield Park and Hospice of the Valley, 1510 East Flower Street, Phoenix, AZ 85014.

Wolves fall short of 4th state championship Estrella Foothills struggles to score in 40-35 loss by Casey Pritchard sports editor

RICKY ROBINSON, right, of Estrella Foothills has the ball knocked away by Scottsdale Christian’s Reed Myers during the Division III state championship game Feb. 27 at Gila River Arena in Glendale. The Wolves trailed the entire game, losing 40-35.

A state championship wasn’t meant to be for the Wolves. The top-seeded Estrella Foothills struggled to score in the Division III state title game Feb. 27 at Gila River Arena in Glendale, losing to No. 3 Scottsdale Christian 40-35. “I don’t think it was a situation of being rattled or anything like that, I just think we got beat tonight,” Estrella coach Rich Gutwein said. “We didn’t play well enough to win, and that’s the bottom line.” Estrella scored a season low 35 points, 15 under its previous low mark of 50 against Chandler Hamilton. The Wolves shot just 25.5 percent from the field, going 13 of 51. “I thought we got some good shots — I don’t know BOYS how many buckets around baskets we missed, but BASKETBALL the it was a lot,” Gutwein said. “They’re bigger, they’re 6-5 across the board. They were doing a good job of contesting shots and it made it hard on us. Give their defense credit, and we didn’t function well, but I thought we got some good shots.” Estrella’s big three scorers, Rex Greabell, Antaveus Brown and Grant Greabell, who average a combined 46 points per game, were held to just 27 combined in the loss. “We sort of knew most of their sets, and we had 10 different plays that they run that we walked through in our gym before coming over,” Scottsdale Christian coach Bob Fredericks said. Estrella also struggled from 3-point range, where it was just 5 of 19, and made only 4 of 8 from the free-throw line. Three of those misses came in the fourth quarter when the Wolves were trying to mount a comeback. “I think shot-chart wise, it was pretty balanced,” Gutwein said. “In the third and fourth quarters, we had shots in the paint and we just couldn’t convert — and we missed free throws. You kind of look at a few of those things being different and it’s a different game.” Estrella never led, falling behind 5-0 early and playing catchup the rest of the way. Scottsdale Christian’s Reed Myers hit a 3-pointer with five seconds left in the first quarter to make it 15-10, and it was more than a onepossession game all the way until the final 12 seconds. Estrella trailed 22-16 at the half and 31-24 after three quarters. Gutwein said he was upbeat at halftime, thinking his team would go on one of its patented offensive runs at some point. “We shot 20-some percent in the first half and I just told the guys, we’re down six and we did not score the ball well,” Gutwein said. “I thought the shots would start falling, and they never did. “I think that, combined with the fact that we didn’t help ourselves out by free throws and shots in the paint — we just missed entirely too many of those opportunities.” Estrella’s biggest deficit was 10 points, 37-27, with 2:02 remaining in the fourth quarter. Rex Greabell answered with a 3-pointer with 1:51 to play, and Estrella tried to go for a steal on the next Scottsdale Christian possession. However, the Wolves were unsuccessful and 37 seconds came off the clock before Estrella eventually had to foul. (See Short on Page B2)

Westview baseball intent on changing culture Knights surpass win total from last season in opening week

The Knights opened their season with three consecutive wins, surpassing last year’s total before the calendar hit March this season. Westview beat Laveen Betty H.

Westview the years, and last year was no exception. had a 3-2 lead after four innings, but The Knights went 2-24 under firstcouldn’t hang on. year coach John Irish, but after a BASEBALL “A lot of them played last year for us, productive offseason the Knights are getting a taste for varsity,” Irish said. “We ready to charge through a culture worked really hard in the summer and change head on. they started buying into the way that we play and the way So far in the early going, the dividends are paying we attack things.

of a sudden [they realized] it could work.” Irish said confidence was high coming into the season, and has grown after winning three games. “Now, the confidence is through the roof,” Irish said. “We just have to keep it rolling.” Senior Gabe Joya said the team has a different mindset this season. “We put in the work all summer and it’s showing out here,” Joya said. “It’s just a whole different vibe now. This is my third year. Last year, you could see it changing, and now there’s a big difference. Everyone is believing in what we’re doing.” The Knights have shrugged off early jitters in games, Joya said. (See Intent on Page B6)

Short (From Page B1) It was 38-30 when Brown scored inside to cut the deficit to six points, but again Estrella tried to steal rather than foul immediately. This time, 15 seconds ran off the clock before the foul. “I don’t think I would have done it differently,” Gutwein said. “I thought we put ourselves in position to potentially squeak something out, when we really didn’t play well enough to get there.” Scottsdale Christian’s Ethan Espry missed the front end of the one-and-one, and the Wolves came down and got a 3-pointer from Brown to make it 38-35 with 12 seconds remaining. The inbounds pass came in to Myers, and this time he was fouled immediately. Gutwein was actually looking for his team to go for a steal again, rather than put the Eagles on the free-throw line. “We didn’t have a timeout there, it’s not really the kid’s fault there, it’s instinct, that’s what we were kind of preaching to them in that situation,” Gutwein said. “We didn’t have a timeout to go over what we wanted to do, but typically we would want to guard for a little bit and see if we can turn them over, then foul.” Myers made both free throws, making it a two-possession game with 10 seconds left. Estrella then missed a 3-pointer and time ran out. “The effort was outstanding,” Gutwein said. “We were just off offensively and we started pressing and double teaming, and they did a good job of handling it. It was just kind of a frustrating night overall.” The Wolves went 27-4 and got to the state championship game for the fourth time in school history. The last time was 2010, when Estrella capped a run of three state titles in a row by beating Eager Round Valley. “Great season, and it was just a privilege to coach these guys,” Gutwein said. “This was a senior group I’ve had for four years and they’ve invested so much in the program, they deserved a year like this. They got to the position where they had a chance to win a state title, so I was proud of their effort. They’re hurting right now.”

Semifinals Estrella was tested early against No. 4 Winslow in the semifinals Feb. 26, but grabbed the lead in the second quarter and never relinquished it in a 57-42 victory. The Wolves scored just eight points in the opening eight minutes, but went on a 7-0 run to start the second quarter, building a 24-16 halftime advantage. “We weathered the storm,” Gutwein said. “We knew the crowd was going to be heavy in their favor. It was kind of the first half we expected, to have maybe a little bit of a grind in the first quarter, and then we got more into a rhythm. I was proud of the kids. Their battle through adversity, throughout the game, was outstanding.”

Estrella pushed its lead to 15 points in the first three minutes of the second half, as Grant Greabell got hot from beyond the arc. Greabell hit 3-pointers on three consecutive trips down the court, making it 33-18. “I don’t know if that was something we wanted to do explicitly out of halftime,” Gutwein said. “We thought we had opportunities inside and out, but Grant has that capability, he has that in him and I thought it was great. It was quite a performance at an important time.” Grant Greabell finished with a teamleading 19 points and was 4 of 6 from downtown. Brown added 16 points and Rex Greabell had 12. The Wolves also played solid defense, holding Winslow to just 22.1 percent shooting (15 of 68). “We have to guard, especially when you’re in that type of environment, you have to rely on your defense, and I thought we really guarded well,” Gutwein said.

Quarterfinals Estrella looked impressive in beating No. 9 Yuma Cibola 69-55 during the quarterfinals Feb. 25 “We’ve been winning ballgames, but not necessarily performing the way we want to,” Gutwein said. “Tonight, I think we kind of saw a complete effort. We really guarded well, shot it well, made big plays. I thought it was a nice, complete effort.” Rex Greabell scored 28 points on 12 of 22 shooting, while Grant Greabell had 17 points and Brown added 16. Where the Wolves really battered Cibola was on the boards. Estrella outrebounded the Raiders 43-26, including a 17-9 advantage on the offensive glass. Sammy Harris led the team with 10 rebounds, including four offensive ones. “Awesome,” Gutwein said of Harris. “We really needed some second-chance opportunities, and he really provided a spark. He’s been doing a great job all year with that.” Harris said the team came out with a lot of emotion and intensity. “It fired me up and I came out and did my thing,” Harris said. “You just got to squeeze on in there, stick your butt on the guy and box him out.” The Wolves never trailed, and led by as many as 23 early in the fourth quarter. The killer run came in the third quarter, when Estrella scored the first 11 points of the second half. It turned a nine-point lead into a 20-point advantage. “We always talk about the first four minutes of the third quarter being critical, and we put together some nice offensive sequences, and we guarded there, too,” Gutwein said. Estrella had to deal with heavy ball pressure from Cibola in the first quarter, but the Wolves were able to maneuver through it rather easily. “They were pressuring us out there, and Ricky did a great job of breaking the press, getting us into stuff, and we got a lot of points in transition,” Rex Greabell said. Robinson had nine assists.

Aims (From Page B3) to get back to the tournament, Tolleson coach Scott Richardson said. “I was disappointed,” Richardson said. “These guys have been talking about it since the day they turned in the gear last year. [Making the playoffs] is our expectation every year. The bar had been set pretty high by some of the kids we’ve had in our program in the past.” The Wolverines opened the 2016 season in the Wayne DesCombes Preseason Tournament Feb. 24-26, winning their pool and going 2-2. Tolleson beat Phoenix Paradise Valley 5-1 in the opener and Apache Junction 9-8 on a wild finish. In the bottom of the seventh, Lenny Walker was called out on strikes, but the umpire ruled Apache Junction catcher Prescott Horn didn’t secure the ball long enough before dropping it to the ground. Horn fired to first to try to throw Walker out, but the ball ended up going past the first baseman and into right field. Both runners aboard scored to give Tolleson the win. “I’m glad for our guys, but I feel bad for their kids,” Richardson said. “I hate for it to end that way. You start thinking back to how many games you lost in your life that you felt you really deserved to win. You just hate to do it that way. The kid made a good pitch. The catcher, in the umpire’s vision, in his excitement, didn’t secure the ball. He still had a chance to pick it up and throw him out and the game’s over.” Tolleson lost the tournament semifinal to Verrado, 12-8. The Wolverines scored four runs in the bottom of the seventh, but it wasn’t enough to overcome a big deficit. “We’ve had a couple hiccups this weekend, but that’s what it’s about, that’s why you have a preseason tournament,” Richardson said. “We’ll get back to work next week and try to make some corrections and keep getting better. Our goal is to make sure we’re ready to go by April, not by March. We’ll evaluate and go from there.”

Richardson thinks the team is in a good position in the early going, he said. “Overall, we’re happy to be where we’re at now,” Richardson said. D. J. Wyman threw a complete game to earn Tolleson’s first win, striking out nine Trojans. The offense also came through, piecing together runs off Paradise Valley’s ace, who’s committed to Wake Forest University. “We faced a really, really good arm,” Richardson said. “It was a good test for us and our guys battled.” The Wolverines got some good news for the future in the Feb. 26 game against Apache Junction as well. Senior Diego Padilla got the start and threw five innings. Padilla missed the entirety of last season because of open-heart surgery. “I felt great,” Padilla said. “It had been a while since I’d been back on the mound.” Padilla was effective and left the game with the lead. He battled through a tough third inning, where he gave up backto-back doubles, but managed to keep Apache Junction from blowing the inning open. “Diego had a couple of hiccups here and there, but overall, we’re real happy,” Richardson said. “I didn’t know if he was going to make it through the third, but allin-all, it worked out.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 include, but are not limited to, the following: Governmental functions is defined as the following when performed by or on behalf of City: 1.

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.

Si cualquier parte identifica un posible conflicto entre sus instalaciones existentes y las instalaciones propuestas de la otra parte, dicha parte deberá avisarle inmediatamente a la otra parte de dicho conflicto y las partes deberán usar sus mejores esfuerzos en resolver dicho conflicto. 3.4 El Concesionario no deberá instalar, construir, mantener o usar sus instalaciones de una manera que daña o se interfiere con cualesquier instalaciones existentes de otro servicio público localizada en la servidumbre de paso público. 3.5 Construcción de las instalaciones del Concesionario en relación con el control de tráfico, rellenar, aplanar y pavimentar las calles, así como la localización o re-localización de tubería e instalaciones relacionadas estipuladas en este Contrato de Franquicia deberán estar sujetas a las disposiciones establecidas por el Código Municipal de Litchfield Park en vigor al momento de la instalación. Si una provisión del Código Municipal de Litchfield Park es inconsistente con el Título 49 del Código de Reglamentos Federales o cualquier otra

ley federal aplicable o ley del estado de Arizona aplicable, regla, orden y reglamento, entonces el Concesionario y la Ciudad acuerdan que el Título 49 del Código de Reglamentos Federales o la otra ley federal aplicable o del estado de Arizona, regla, orden y reglamento deberán gobernar. De acuerdo con los Estatutos Revisados de Arizona (A.R.S.) ‘ 40-360.30 y cualquier otra ley aplicable, el Concesionario deberá mantener registros de la localización de todas las instalaciones en las servidumbres de paso públicas y lugares públicos y proporcionarselas a la Ciudad al ser solicitadas. El concesionario representa que se defina como infraestructura crítica por el Gobierno Federal y como dichos registros de las localizaciones o diseño de las instalaciones de gas natural son propiedad del Concesionario. Si la Ciudad cree que tiene que relevar cualesquier dichos registros durante el curso de cumplimiento de esta Franquicia o de acuerdo con las leyes de registros públicos de Arizona, o por cualquier otra razón, deberá informar al Concesionario por antemano para que el Concesionario pueda tomar pasos apropiados para proteger sus intereses. Si la Ciudad recibe una demanda de cualquier persona de divulgación de cualesquier registros descritos en esto, la Ciudad deberá informar al Concesionario y proveerle al Concesionario una copia de cualquier solicitud por escrito de la parte demandando acceso a dicho registro dentro de un período razonable de tiempo. El concesionario puede entablar dicha acción a como determine ser necesario o apropiado para proteger lo confidencial de dicho registro. Si se entabla una demanda contra la Ciudad demandando liberación de un registro descrito en esto, el Concesionario deberá o defender o pagar al ser demandado todos los derechos de abogados, costos y otros gastos incurridos por la Ciudad como resultado de una solicitud por el Concesionario que el registro no se libre. En el caso de un litigio, hasta que se ordene por una corte o agencia de jurisdicción competente, la Ciudad acuerda que, hasta el punto permitido por la ley del Estado o federal, negará acceso a cualesquier de los registros en esto a cualquier persona. Se permite el uso razonable de los registros del Concesionario internamente por la ciudad para permiso y diseño de las instalaciones propiedad de la Ciudad. A.

B. Excepto a lo dispuesto en el Párrafo A de arriba, el Concesionario deberá pagar el costo total de la re-localización de sus instalaciones situadas en las servidumbres de paso públicas o debajo las servidumbres de paso, la relocalización es necesaria para que la Ciudad o un contratista de la Ciudad pueda llevar a cabo sus funciones gubernamentales de la Ciudad. No obstante a lo anterior, si se le solicita al Concesionario llevar a cabo trabajo de un sentido temporal en un proyecto gubernamental para mitigar problemas de construcción que pueden ser mitigados por otros medios, el costo de dicho trabajo temporal será pagado por la Ciudad o el contratista de la Ciudad trabajando en el proyecto gubernamental. Las funciones gubernamentales son aquellas obligaciones impuestas en la Ciudad, donde las obligaciones tienen que ver con un beneficio del público general, no en el sentido de un compromiso corporativo o comercial para el beneficio de la corporación o interés de la Ciudad. Las funciones gubernamentales incluyen, pero no son limitadas a lo siguiente: Las funciones gubernamentales se definan como lo siguiente cuando desempeñadas por o de parte de la Ciudad: 1.

Todas las funciones de la Ciudad que no son gubernamentales son propietarias. D. La Ciudad no deberá ejercer su derecho de requerir que las instalaciones del Concesionario sean re-localizadas de una manera no razonable o arbitraria, o para evitar su obligación bajo la Franquicia. La Ciudad acuerda avisarle al Concesionario durante la planificación y diseño de los proyectos de la Ciudad en las servidumbres de paso que puedan requerir re-localización de las instalaciones del Concesionario y para coordinar sus planes de construcción y programas con el Concesionario para determinar el diseño más económico para mitigar el costo del Concesionario para la relocalización de sus instalaciones. E. La Ciudad acuerda que no va a requerir que el Concesionario re-localice sus instalaciones dentro de las servidumbres de paso públicas sin proveerle al Concesionario espacio adecuado dentro de las servidumbres de paso para relocalizar las instalaciones que se tienen que mover. F. Si la Ciudad paga toda o parte del costo de relocalización de las instalaciones del Concesionario de acuerdo con esta Franquicia, el costo de la Ciudad será limitado a aquellos costos y gastos incurridos razonablemente de la re-localización de dichas instalaciones de cuerdo con las ordenanzas de la Ciudad y, cuando no en conflicto con eso, standards de industria aplicables. Los costos de la Ciudad de la re-localización de las instalaciones del Concesionario no deberán incluir cualquier mejora o mejoramiento de las instalaciones del Concesionario a como existían antes de la relocalización. Antes del pago por la Ciudad, el Concesionario deberá proveer una detalle de costos y gastos sujetos a la revisión y aprobación de la Ciudad. G. La Ciudad no ejercerá su derecho de requerir que las instalaciones del Concesionario sean relocalizadas arbitrariamente o sin razón, o evitar sus obligaciones bajo esta Franquicia.

H. Todas las líneas subterráneas abandonadas continuarán siendo la propiedad del Concesionario, a menos que el Concesionario específicamente le admite de otra manera al Administrador Municipal y la Ciudad lo acepte.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Litchfield Park, Arizona, as follows: SECTION 1. That the City Council of the City of Litchfield Park determines that the granting of the franchise proposed by Arizona Public Service Company in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A is beneficial to the City of Litchfield Park and the City residents.

SECTION 5. That the City Clerk and City Manager are hereby authorized and directed to publish the proposed franchise and take such other actions required by law to conduct the election. PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Mayor and Common Council of the City of Litchfield Park, Arizona this 4th day of November, 2015. ________________________________ Thomas L. Schoaf, Mayor ATTEST: ______________________________ Carla Reece, MMC, City Clerk APPROVED AS TO FORM: ______________________________ By Susan D. 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. Providing fire protection and other public safety functions; and 5. Collection and disposal of garbage and recyclables. 6. 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. Grantee shall have the authority to prune or remove any trees or shrubs located within or hanging over the limits of the public rights-of-way of City that in the judgment of Grantee may interfere with the construction, or endanger the operation, of the lines and/or facilities of Grantee. 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 will restore the disturbed property to a condition as good as it was prior to such opening or alteration. Work shall be completed with due diligence within a reasonably prompt time. Section 6. – Franchise Fee: Grantee shall pay to City in consideration of the grant of this Franchise a sum equal to zero percent (0%) of all revenues of Grantee, including Regulatory Assessments, but excluding transaction privilege taxes and similar governmental impositions, from the retail sales and/ or delivery by it of electric energy and other charges for services attendant to the retail sale and/or delivery of electric energy delivered through Grantee’s electric distribution system within the present and any future corporate limits of City, as shown by Grantee’s billing records. 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. General ad valorem property taxes; B. Transaction privilege and use tax as authorized by law and collected by Grantee for its retail sales to its electric customers within the present and any future corporate limits of City; C. Assessments for special improvements; D.

Schoaf, Alcalde ATESTADO: ________________________________________ Carla Reece, MMC, Secretaria de la Ciudad APROBADAD EN LO QUE A FORMA SE REFIERE: ________________________________________ Por Susan D. 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. Los permisos para instalaciones de transmisión o distribución eléctrica se expedirán por ningún costo según esta Concesión. A. 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. Dotar protección contra incendios, policía y otras funciones de seguridad pública; y 5. Recolección y eliminación de basura y materiales reciclables. 6. 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 Concesionaria asumirá el costo de dicho trabajo de vegetación y según el Estándar A300 de A.N.S.I. Sección 4. – Indemnización: La Ciudad, sus departamentos, funcionarios, empleados, agentes, sucesores y cesionarios, no serán responsables de ninguna manera por cualquier accidente o daño que ocurrirá en la construcción, operación, o mantenimiento por la Concesionaria de sus accesorios a continuación, excepto tal accidente o daño será causado por los actos y omisiones negligentes o intencionados de la Ciudad, sus departamentos, funcionarios, empleados, agentes, sucesores y cesionarios. 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. En la medida en que la Concesionaria mantiene, opera o posee las instalaciones, dentro de los derechos de paso de la Ciudad, como su propio costo y gasto, mantendrá, o causará estar mantenido, el seguro en efectivo contra las reclamaciones y responsabilidades, lesiones corporales, muerte y daño de propiedad, resultando de la construcción, operación o mantenimiento por la Concesionaria de sus instalaciones en una cantidad razonable y suficiente para asegurar las obligaciones bajo esta sección de la Concesionaria, con la Ciudad llamado un asegurado adicional. La Concesionaria presentará a la Ciudad una notificación escrita de cambio material de 30 días de cancelación o no renovación por el asegurador. La póliza será la primaria y no contribuyente con alguna póliza de la Ciudad. Sección 5: – Restauración de derechos de paso: Cada vez que la Concesionaria haga aberturas o alteraciones de cualquier tipo y para cualquier propósito en algún derecho de paso, deberá concluir el trabajo en cumplimiento con la Sección 7-16-4 del Código de la Ciudad, como esta sección puede ser modificado de vez en cuando. La Concesionaria restaurará la propiedad dañada a la condición anterior y antes de tales aberturas o alteraciones. El trabajo deberá de ser concluido con la diligencia debida y dentro de un lapso razonable. Sección 6. – Derecho de la Concesión: La Concesionaria pagará a la Ciudad como contraprestación por el otorgamiento de esta Concesión una suma equivalente a cero por ciento (0%) de todos los ingresos de la Concesionaria, incluyendo las Tasaciones Reguladores pero excluyendo los impuestos de privilegio de transacciones y las imposiciones gubernamentales similares, de sus ventas al menudeo y/o distribución de energía eléctrica y otros cobros por servicios concomitantes a la venta al menudeo o distribución de energía eléctrica distribuida a través de la red eléctrica de la Concesionaria dentro de los límites presentes y cualquier límite futuro de incorporación de la Ciudad como lo muestren los registros de facturación de la Concesionaria. Sin embargo, la Concesionaria no pagará dichos derechos de concesión sobre los ingresos a cargo de los clientes minoristas de la Concesionaria por terceros proveedores de servicios eléctricos. Exceptuando como dicho en la Sección 7, dichos pagos serán en lugar de todos los derechos, cargos o exacción de cualquier tipo tesado por la Ciudad en cualquier manera asociado con el uso de los derechos de paso públicos de la Concesionaria, incluyendo pero no se limite a, la construcción de las instalaciones de la Concesionaria a continuación o para las inspecciones de ésas durante los términos de esta Concesión. En cualquier momento durante el término de esta Concesión, el Concilio de la Ciudad adoptará una resolución cambiando el derecho de la Concesión a una suma entre cero porciento (0%) y dos porciento (2%). Al punto de la adaptación de la resolución ya mencionada, la Ciudad debe presentar el aviso escrito de la resolución a la Concesionaria en: Arizona Public Service Company, Office of the Corporate Secretary, 400 North 5th Street, M.S. 8602, Phoenix, Arizona 85004. La Concesionaria tendrá 30 días, después de recibir dicho aviso escrito de la Ciudad, para implementar el cambio al porcentaje del derecho de la Concesión. La Concesionaria no se requerirá coleccionar, pagar, ni reembolsar retroactivamente los derechos de la Concesión debido al aviso inadecuado, o cualquier retraso en presentar el aviso a la Concesionaria por la Ciudad. Para el propósito de verificar las sumas pagaderas a continuación, los libros y registros de la Concesionaria estarán sujetos a la inspección y auditoria por los funcionarios debidamente autorizados o representantes de la Ciudad a las horas razonables. El pago descrito en los previos párrafos se pagará en cantidades trimestrales dentro de 30 días después del fin de cada cuarto calendario. A pesar de cualquiera provisión de esta Concesión, si durante el término de esta Concesión la Concesionaria inicia cualquiera concesión eléctrica con cualquiera otra municipalidad en el estado de Arizona durante el término de esta Concesión que provee un porcentaje más alto que dos por ciento (2 %) de los ingresos de la Concesionaria o que incluye más categorías de ingresos que fueron dispuestos en esta Concesión, la Concesionaria notificará al Concilio de la Ciudad de tal porcentaje más alto o de tal base mayor de ingreso. El Concilio de la Ciudad, a su discreción sola, tendrá la opción de, como aplicable: (i) aumentar el derecho de la concesión de la Concesionaria a la tasa de porcentaje más alta; o (ii) incluir otras categorías de ingresos propuestos en el contrato de concesión que la Concesionaria tiene con la otra entidad de este Estado. Siguiendo con la acción del Concilio de la Ciudad, la Concesionaria se acuerda pagarle de ahora en adelante a la Ciudad un derecho de concesión nuevo al porcentaje de concesión más alto o incluir las categorías adicionales de ingreso.

Otros cargos, impuestos, o derechos generalmente impuestos en los negocios por la Ciudad, con tal de que dicho cargo, impuesto, o derecho sea un derecho fijo anual y que la suma anual de dicho derecho no exceda la suma de derechos similares pagados por otros negocios operados dentro de la Ciudad.
