TUSKEGEE AIRMEN retired Lt. Col. Asa Herring, left, retired Tech. Sgt. Rudolf Silas and retired Lt. Col. Robert Ashby approach the Tuskegee Airmen Memorial Park to place a commemorative wreath March 23 at Luke Air Force Base. The fourth annual event was in commemoration of Tuskegee Airmen Day, which is observed on the fourth Thursday in March.

Ceremony honors Tuskegee Airmen African American wing recognized at Luke Air Force Base by Glenn Gullickson staff writer

More than 70 years after the first African American military wing served in World War II, the spirit of the Tuskegee Airmen continues to inspire, according to Luke Air Force Base’s 944th Wing commander. “The Tuskegee heritage is alive and well,” Col. Kirk Gallegos said during Tuskegee Airmen commemorative activities at the base. “We wouldn’t be the Air Force we are without the Tuskegee Airmen.” The ceremony on March 23 included the laying of a wreath at the Tuskegee Airmen Memorial Park, which has as its centerpiece a stationary F-16 painted with the squadron’s traditional red tail. It was the fourth annual event on the fourth Thursday in March, which was designated as Tuskegee Airmen Day by the Arizona Legislature. March is significant for the Tuskegee Airmen because it was March 1941 when they first started training in Tuskegee, Ala., according to Richard Toliver, past president of the ArcherRagsdale Arizona Chapter of the Tuskegee

Airmen, the group that organized the event. Toliver said Tuskegee Airmen Day is an opportunity to honor the accomplishments, contributions and sacrifices of the airmen. At a time when the military services were segregated, the Tuskegee Airmen were the first African Americans to pilot combat aircraft. As escorts for bombers, they completed 200 missions during World War II, destroying 409 German aircraft and achieving “hero status,” Gallegos said. The Tuskegee pilots were later assigned to fighter squadrons that were part of the 944th Wing at Luke Air Force Base. Toliver said the local chapter of Tuskegee Airmen was formed when Phoenix was selected as the site for the 2006 Tuskegee National Convention and needed “boots on the ground” to host the event. At that time, 15 Tuskegee connections were found in the Valley, including airmen, widows and children. Several dozen group members, including four airmen, clad in red jackets attended last week’s ceremony at the air park that was created in 2006 on the base. Gallegos said the day was “bittersweet” for him since it is the last time he will participate in the event before retiring later this year after 32 years of service. The ceremony was interrupted frequently by noise that Gallegos called “the sound of freedom” as jets took off from runways on the base.

Flying in luxury Antique aircraft lands in Goodyear by Kourtney Balsan special to the View

Flying in a plane didn’t always mean arriving at the airport two hours before departure, wearing your finest sweat pants and circulation socks, and being patted down by a Transportation Security Administration agent. Flying used to be a vacation itself with passengers dressing to the nines. The 1928 Ford Tri-Motor 5-AT-B, Serial No. 8, made a stop at the Phoenix Goodyear Airport, 1658 S. Litchfield Road, Goodyear, March 23-26 to give people the opportunity to experience original luxury aviation on the first coast-to-coast passenger airline in America, and the first mass-produced airliner in the world. “It was a precursor of every plane that’s out here,” said Bill Thacker, volunteer pilot of the Ford Tri-Motor. “It was the very first airplane that was designed and built specifically to hold passengers.” Named “City of Wichita” when it began westbound transcontinental commercial air service, the Ford Tri-Motor plane seats 10 passengers, a pilot and a co-pilot, Thacker said, adding every seat is a window seat. “It is an iconic aircraft. People may not realize it by name, but as soon they see it, they’ll know which plane it is,” said Carlos Hernandez, president of Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 538 in Phoenix. The Ford Tri-Motor was nicknamed the “Tin Goose” as it was one of the first all-metal airplanes with a wing span of 77 feet, 6 inches and the cruising speed of 122 mph. “It flies great. It’s very heavy on the controls, but it flies smooth,” Thacker said. “It’s very, very strong and very, very sturdy. That just makes it perfect for this.” In the 1930s, the plane visited Arizona for

Luxury (From Page 1) the first time providing sightseeing tours of the Grand Canyon. After a long list of other memorable flights and eventually being put into storage, Nevada’s William F. Harrah of Harrah’s Hotel and Casinos purchased the aircraft in 1964 and renovated it over seven years. After Harrah’s death in 1978, the plane hopped around to several owners and museums, being renovated along the way, eventually ending at the Liberty Aviation Museum in Port Clinton, Ohio, in 2014 where it calls home to this day. “It’s got updated engines on it, which actually have more horse-power. It has different brakes on it, which actually work. That’s the major changes,” Thacker said. The museum leased the plane to the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) to provide tours around the country. “It’s 89 years old and it’s flying constantly. The EAA and the museum that actually owns it, take immaculate care of it. They really do love the plane,” Hernandez said. “Because there’s so few of them, it’s rare to see them around, and to get public access, or access at all, is extremely rare, and this is one of the reasons why they do it. They want to give this [experience] to the public. That is what the EAA is about; education, aviation, recreation.” Not only is the Ford Tri-Motor touring the country to educate the public and attract aviation enthusiasts, but to also inspire youths to consider piloting, Hernandez said. “We want to give this opportunity to our youth especially because our pilot population is decreasing because of age. A lot of pilots are of age where they’re getting out of the game. We see the decline over the last several years, so we want to be able to reach out to youth and try to ignite that interest, that spark,” Hernandez said. Goodyear was one of many stops the Ford Tri-Motor made, Thacker said,

adding that the plane rides are always popular. “The plane spends a year, basically the whole time, traveling around the country doing events like this, hop and rides. There are several of us pilots, 16, 18 of us pilots who fly this plane and another one, both for the EAA,” Thacker said. “We take 15,000 people a year, not me personally, but the airplane does.” Darrell Ahrens, 80, of Litchfield Park took a ride on the Ford Tri-Motor with his friend Daniel Jaskoski, 21, for their birthdays, Ahrens said. “He’s a pilot and I’m a retired Air Force fighter pilot, so we’re both very interested in taking the ride. It’s a famous airplane and I’ve never flown in it and neither had he, so it was a first for both of us,” Ahrens said. The flight was quite the experience, Ahrens said. “It felt good. It was pretty noisy. I mean, it was nothing like present day airliners. It’s a little more bumpy. It was different and it was fun. I enjoyed it,” Ahrens said. Having been in the EAA for almost 13 years, Hernandez was finally able to ride in the Ford Tri-Motor for the first time, crossing the experience off his bucket list. “[It was] exhilarating. It’s on my bucket list and now that I have it checked off it’s been wonderful,” Hernandez said. “These planes have three nine-cylinder engines, so they’re going to make noise and that’s the draw of these aircrafts. Just the power and raw exhilaration of being in them.” As much of an honor it is to ride in the plane, it is just as much of an honor to fly it, Thacker said. “As a pilot, why wouldn’t you want to [fly the Ford Tri-Motor]?” Thacker said. After leaving Goodyear, the Ford TriMotor flew to Albuquerque, N.M. Kourtney Balsan can be reached at Kbalsan@westvalleyview.com.

Avondale police Sheriff’s Office IDs man accused of Buckeye home invasion, pursuit name suspect in fatal shooting by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

Police have identified the suspect in a fatal shooting in a Fry’s parking lot in Avondale as Manuel MoralesEstrada, 30, officials said. Morales-Estrada allegedly shot and killed a man just before 10 p.m. March 30 in the shopping center at Avondale Boulevard and Buckeye Road, said Officer Ray Emmett, a spokesman with the Avondale Police Department. The victim was identified as Erick Dominguez, 23, Emmett said. When officers responded to the shopping center for reports of shots fired, they found shell casings in the parking lot, he said. Witnesses reported several vehicles and people involved in the incident had fled the scene, Manuel Emmett said. MoralesDominguez, who was shot once in the torso with a handgun, Estrada was driven to a nearby fire station by his brother, he said. He was transported to a local hospital, where he died in surgery, Emmett said. No other injuries were reported, he said. It’s unknown what led to the shooting or if the men knew each other, Emmett said. Morales-Estrada was last seen driving a tan fourdoor passenger vehicle, and is considered armed and dangerous, he said. Anyone with information regarding the homicide or Morales-Estrada should contact the Avondale Police Department at 623-333-7001 or Silent Witness at 480948-6377. The case is under investigation.

A man accused of invading a Buckeye home and leading deputies on a pursuit in a stolen vehicle has been identified as Mitchell Newmoon, 37, officials said. The incident started at about 7:30 a.m. March 27 when Newmoon allegedly entered a house in an unknown area of Buckeye occupied by a mother and her two children and demanded keys to a vehicle, said Sgt. Calbert Gillett, a spokesman with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office. Newmoon allegedly fled in the stolen SUV, and deputies tracked the vehicle using OnStar, Gillett said. He was spotted on U.S. Highway 60 south of Wickenburg by two deputies, who noticed he was driving recklessly, Gillett said. Deputy Jon Anderson and an officer in training, Deputy Scott Hewetson, pursued the vehicle for several minutes before it was deactivated by OnStar in a desert area off

U.S. Highway 60, he said. Newmoon allegedly shot several rounds from the vehicle, and the deputies returned fire, striking Newmoon, Gillett said. He then allegedly fled on foot and discarded his firearm, but was taken into custody after being tased for resisting arrest, Gillett said. Newmoon was transported to Abrazo West Campus in Goodyear with non-lifeMitchell threatening injuries, and was then booked into Maricopa County Newmoon Fourth Avenue Jail, he said. He faces numerous felony charges, and also had an active warrant for his arrest, Gillett said. No deputies were injured, he said.

2 arrested in high-speed chase near Buckeye View report

Two men are facing multiple charges after they were arrested following a high-speed chase near Buckeye, according to authorities. The Department of Public Safety said the incident occurred after 7 a.m. March 27 when a state trooper attempted to stop an SUV going northbound on State Route 85 for a traffic violation. In an attempt to elude the Eligio Monzon trooper, the driver made a U-turn and fled southbound on the highway, then drove the vehicle into the desert, where the driver and a passenger exited the vehicle and fled on foot, authorities said.

With assistance from Border Patrol and the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office, state troopers took the suspects into custody and discovered marijuana reported to weigh nearly 350 pounds and worth almost $175,000, authorities said. Booked into the Pinal County Jail were the driver, Eligio Niebla Monzon, 52, and Carlos Moroyhoqui-Neyoy, 24. They were charged with Carlos conspiracy, transportation of Moroyhoquimarijuana and unlawful flight, Neyoy according to court records. Bond was set at $75,000 for Monzon and $50,000 for Moroyhoqui-Neyoy.

Avondale police have issued public alerts about two registered sex offenders who have moved into the city. Christopher Ekstrom, 28, is living at a home in the 12500 block of West Elwood Street, southwest of Lower Buckeye and El Mirage roads, police said. Ekstrom is not wanted by any law enforcement agency, said Sgt. Thomas Alt, a police spokesman. In 2008 and 2012, Ekstrom was convicted in Kern County Superior Court in Bakersfield, Calif., of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor three years younger than the perpetrator, Alt said. The victims were a 14-yearold girl and a 17-year-old girl. Christopher Ekstrom’s first victim was known Ekstrom to him and the second victim he only spoke with on the internet, Alt said. Ekstrom is not on probation or parole at this time, he said. Authorities have classified him as a Level II, or intermediate-risk, sex offender, Alt said. Julian Reyna Jr., 37, is living at a home in the 11600 block of West Citrus Grove Way, northwest of Avondale Boulevard and Thomas Road, Alt said. Reyna is not wanted by any law enforcement agency, he said. Julian Reyna In 1998, Reyna was convicted in Maricopa County Superior Court of molestation of a child and sentenced to 10 years in the Arizona Department of Corrections. Reyna’s female victim was known to him, Alt said. Authorities have classified Reyna as a Level II, or intermediate-risk, sex offender, he said. The alerts are the result of the Arizona sex offender law that took effect in 1996. The law requires community notification for some sex offenders.

OUR VIEWPOINT

GRANLUND’S OPINION — PoliticalCartoons.com

EDITORIAL

West Valley gets no respect ‘four’ car race, Big Dance The West Valley gets no respect. Just like Rodney Dangerfield. Whenever anything good happens in the western portion of the Valley of the Sun, it is reported as happening in Phoenix. But whenever anything bad happens, it is specifically reported in the city where it occurs unless it happens in an unincorporated area of the county and then it is reported to happen in the city that corresponds to that ZIP code. NASCAR drivers were in the Valley March 19 for their semiannual visit. They come to a track in Avondale, which is named as if it were in Phoenix and the national television broadcasts hardly ever mention the actual home of the track. What we teasingly call Avondale International Raceway is such a big deal that there are two NASCAR races here. But it isn’t a big enough deal for the city of Avondale to get any positive national exposure for it. When we mentioned this to the public relations woman representing the track a few years ago, she proudly proclaimed how much positive exposure Phoenix got on national television during each race. She either completely missed the point or didn’t want to address the problem Avondale faced. And now, another West Valley city, one that can’t support a basement-dwelling hockey team, was left out of the Big Dance. That’s right. All the promotional materials, including the Final Four logo, talked about an event in Phoenix. But the only NCAA basketball events that took place in Phoenix were parties, concerts and hotel bookings. The Final Four, the Big Dance, the college basketball national championship game, took place in an ill-named football stadium next door to the hockey arena that can’t support the Coyotes. That’s right. The biggest basketball game of the year (along with the two semi-final games) was played at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale. Like other cities in the West Valley, Glendale is a wonderful city with the great weather and amenities that continue to bring folks out of the snowbelt for a better way of life. But no one back East will know that Glendale exists even though the city had to spend a lot of money to help put on the event. Cities have multiple reasons for putting on such expensive events. Cities like to feel like they are “big time cities” and can do so by being the home of high profile national events such as the national college football championship game, Super Bowl, NASCAR races or the Final Four. Residents feel a sense of pride that they live in a city with such status. And cities do it because they think they will benefit from the public relations and marketing. Large companies looking to relocate look favorably on cities that provide certain amenities. And Super Bowls and national college football and basketball championships cause the leaders of those companies to at least look at cities such as Glendale and Avondale where they wouldn’t normally. So when the Valley hosts these events and the host cities don’t get the marketing advantage of recognition, it costs those cities even more. And it makes them less likely to spend as much money chasing high profile events and losing money on them. “It ain’t fair. To Avondale or to Glendale,” the late Dangerfield would have said.

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

L

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.

Glendale is the problem Editor: I agree with with all the articles about the coyotes, that they need to put a winning team on the ice. But the problem is Glendale. Remember, they promised the first super bowl committee that if they were awarded the game they would build new hotels and restaurants at Westgate. So what happen, nothing was built when we got the second Super Bowl. That’s why the NFL gave Phoenix all of the activities for the game. The only thing that was built in the area recently was the American Furniture Warehouse, boy that is going to bring tourist to the area. Glendale has lied and cheated their residents. So hope you enjoy paying for an empty area for the next 17 years. Harvey New Avondale

Astonished by Opposed to GOP judgmental letter healthcare plan Editor: I have to admit, I was nothing short of astonished by Susan Hewit’s comments about, “Handicap Parking spaces”. Her innate ability to discern the pain of another person is amazing. One must ask why the medical profession relies on a pain scale determined by the patient. MRI’s, XRAY’s and CATSCAN’s all fail to accurately measure the pain, yet she has a mystical ability to visualize that pain one is suffering and the need for a, “Handicap Pacard”. I admit when I was a young harried working mom I would get a bit peeved when I saw what I perceived a healthy individual exit a vehicle in one of those spaces. However, after much thought and consideration as well as the experience of ongoing pain and having been primary caregiver for my ninetythree year old mother-in-law, I recognized how one may need to return as quickly as possible to resume their duties as caregiver. It is sad Susan has decided to sit in judgement of another’s pain or personal situation rather than find a more beneficial use of her time. Diane Burnett Goodyear

Editor: out of pocket expenses will increase, people will not be able to afford healthcare, the working poor will be affected the most. Rita Carlson Phoenix

Not all illnesses are visible Editor: It angers and frustrates me whenever I read an ignorant comment such as Susan Hewitt’s concerning disabled ‘frauds’. Just because someone isn’t using a cane or wheelchair doesn’t mean they aren’t disabled; they could suffer from an ‘invisible illness’. I have Multiple Sclerosis, one of the ‘but you look so good’ invisible diseases. I look ‘normal’ — I often have no limp and don’t use walking aids, but you can’t see the lesions on my brain or my nerves being eaten away. You can’t see that I have exhausting fatigue, vertigo, spasticity, seizures, and each step can be like stepping on razor blades. I wish I was ‘faking it’ just to get a closer parking spot — I would gladly park a mile away if it would cure me — but there is no cure for MS. (See Letters on Page 7)

 OPINIONS

Letters (From Page 6) It took several years of my family prodding me before I asked my doctor for a disability placard. I didn’t want to see myself as ‘handicapped’ — it is embarrassing at times when I can’t keep up with my kids, get confused with directions, and have difficulty speaking when my brain and mouth don’t work together...but I still look like me. Another reason it took so long was because of people like Ms. Hewitt who are quick to pass judgment on someone because they don’t look “disabled enough”. I didn’t want to have to explain that my body is literally killing me from the inside and someday my disability will be obvious when I can no longer walk. Don’t judge based on looks — and it is none of your business what disability that person is struggling with. Those of us with invisible disabilities have a joke: I don’t look disabled but you don’t look stupid, so I guess we are both wrong! Serena Denning Goodyear

Sorry for misinterpreting Editor: My apology to Roger Vallie for incorrectly interpreting his letter about president Obama (Dem.) — I am in agreement with him on that — thanks. Yes, my comment about Obama (Dem.) should have been directly to Mr. Azzarello. And I also agree with Mr. Vallie that the needless loss of just one life is a tragedy, much less 4400. However, the president (in this case Mr. Bush-Rep.) still made that decision based on the president’s military advisers (who are mostly lifers — excuse that expression). I still have to agree with Mr. Krupp though — get ready for a bad ride with Mr. Trump (Rep.) — I am sure he will have many more surprises for us. Again, accept my apology Roger for misreading your letter and for any derogatory remarks I may have made that were misdirected. We didn’t really have much of decent selection of presidential candidates to vote for this time. Oh well, maybe next time. Dennis Wood Goodyear

Editor: This is in response to “Irritated by Frauds” in the March 15 edition. I know how frustrating it is to see someone parked where they shouldn’t be. I don’t think that you grasp the full idea of handicapped parking. Did you know that in order to get a handicapped plate or tag, a doctor has to fill out a special form issued by the DMV attesting to a disability? There are other types of disabilities besides using a cane, walker, or wheelchair. Someone can have a severe heart problem. You cannot see that. There is emphysema. You cannot see that. The list can go on and on, but these are the top two reasons someone can have handicapped parking. Both of my parents had pacemakers. You couldn’t see the pacemakers. You wouldn’t know that they did. Please don’t judge until you walk in their shoes. Margaret Bridges Avondale

So how are you feeling now? Editor: President Trump, along with his friends in Congress, are trying mightily to take health insurance coverage away from 24 million American citizens, millions here in Arizona. He makes sure he gets away to his resort Mar-A-Lago nearly every weekend at a cost of millions every week. Meanwhile his entire family, including Melania, took off for a weekend of skiing in Aspen, Colorado along with a protection force of an estimated 100 Secret Service agents at an estimated cost of $30 million. Ivanka will have an office in the White House but not be an employee of the government and not subject to the federal ethics rules. His “refreshing” budget will cut funds for education, meals for children and seniors, clean water, health research, protection of embassies, and infrastructure while adding billions to an already inflated military budget. Oh yes, guess who is paying for his hideous wall (hint it’s not Mexico). And should we mention the high probability that his campaign colluded with Russia during the election? He has made a mess of relations with our friendsAustralia, England, Germany and Mexico to name just a few.

And now his sort of Secretary of State has chosen to go say hello to Russia rather than attend a NATO summit meanwhile refusing to travel with the press because he is “not that kind of person,” and not recognizing that the press is there for our benefit, not his (just like his boss). The rest of his Cabinet is composed of people opposed to the agencies they supervise but space precludes me from going into details Happy yet? Or just ignorantly blissful? Arnold Knack Avondale

We are under siege? Editor: Amalie Maccree, on 4/22/2017 you lamented the fact that Christians are marginalized in the Middle East and you said to: “Pray that the “Cair” group, Hamas or the Brotherhood group are all kept out of the White House”. I hate to tell you that the biggest brother of the Islamic hood occupied the White House for the past eight years. He proliferated our government institutions with enough Muslims to endanger us all, never mind just Christians. You haven’t forgotten Barak Hussein Obama, have you? I didn’t think so. Sig Mueller Goodyear

Language was offensive Editor: I understand everyone has the right to their opinions, and that V. View does not do grammar or spelling edits. HOWEVER as the paper is delivered to every household, and kids are encouraged to read for civic involvement, I thought it inappropriate language in letter in 3/15/17 issue that Sean Spicer should “grow a pair quick” and that “woman has obviously got bigger balls than you …

They are gone now

Sara Gilligan for Goodyear

Editor: Bulloks, May Co. and the Broadway, all department stores located in South Bay Ca.. My big escape if I had spent the morning cutting gum out of my hair and all the rest that goes with raising children. It was the May Co. that had the Tea Room in the basement of the store. Serving, Chicken Crocketts , Chicken Ala King on Toast Points, Tomato Aspect, and Tuna Salad with little colored marshmallows . I avoided that one , I saw enough marshmallows had home. This was the early 1960s. In an interview Bob Hope said his longevity was due to Tea Rooms he sought out wherever he found himself making movies . I suppose when all the Department stores are gone the Food Court with all its noisy bad smells will still be there. You won’t find ladies with hats and gloves on setting in the food courts. Or chewing with their mouths open. I do miss that Tea Room.

Editor: In your 3/22 issue of West Valley View, specifically the City Council Election results, I found it interesting you said that “Sara Gilligan who will run against Brannon Hampton in a runoff could not be reached for comment by press deadline”. In the past when I would read that, I took it negatively thinking that the candidate could not be bothered. Now I know that is not true, at least in this case when the candidates were called only once and then 1 hour before press deadline!!! I want to put in my two cents worth for Sara should she be elected: I appreciate that she will apply a fiscally conservative approach to decisions on the council and that she has the ability to be available since she is a “stay at home mom”. Of course there are more reasons than two to elect Sara, so let’s ELECT SARA GILLIGAN.

Vickie Chelini Buckeye

Why such a huge salary? Editor: In the March 15,2017 edition of the View the story on Buckeye’s new city manager reports that he will have an annual compensation package of $220,000. To me that is shocking for a city of around 60,000 residents. According to the internet the governor of Arizona makes less than $100,000 per year. Is the city of Buckeye’s manager worth twice as much as the state’s governor? I don’t think so. Something’s wrong here. The mayor and council need to look a bit closer at this HUGE salary.

Cast helps create 100 characters featured in dozens of vignettes by Glenn Gullickson staff writer

A play that uses dozens of vignettes to explore love and relationships created an opportunity for collaboration between the director and his cast of college students. Love and Information will be presented Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the Performing Arts Center at Estrella Mountain Community College, 3000 N. Dysart Road, Avondale. Admission is free. “This is our most ambitious project so far,” said George Lopercio, who directs TheatrEstrella’s cast of 31 actors in a play that includes about 100 characters. The play was a challenge because British playwright Caryl Churchill created characters without indicating details such as gender, orientation or race and a loose structure without the location or subtext for the scenes. “We started from scratch looking at a blank page,” Lopercio said. “We got to create so much of it. It allows everybody to play the role they want to play.”

Local artist’s work to be exhibited Litchfield Park painter’s abstract part of show in Oregon by Glenn Gullickson staff writer

A Litchfield Park artist is celebrating after her painting was selected to be exhibited at an art show in Oregon. Sandra Camp’s painting, titled “Celebration,” will be part of an exhibit staged by the Western Federation of Watercolor Societies. The 42nd annual exhibit will run from April 7 to June 19 at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art in Eugene, Ore. The painting done in acrylic conveys a celebratory mood, which Camp said she knew succeeded when her son told her the painting made him think of Mardi Gras. Camp’s painting is one of five from Arizona that will be part of the exhibit and one of 100 works selected for the show from 869 entries. Camp, 78, said she started painting when she was a student and took an art class when she couldn’t get into choir. She went on to earn a bachelor’s of fine arts degree at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, then taught art for 22 years in junior high and high school. She moved to Litchfield Park 20 years ago. Plants, flowers and landscapes are inspirations for Camp’s paintings, which are abstract or representational, she said. “It’s sort of taking a photograph and abstracting it so you get the feel of the picture without knowing what the picture actually is,” she said. Camp paints three or four days in a row, then will step away from the work for a week, with some paintings taking years to complete, she said. “If it doesn’t feel right, I put it away and let it mature,” she said. “Others you slap the paint around and it goes into the places it needs to go.” Her works are also on display at the Arizona Supreme Court building in Phoenix. Other paintings have been sold to friends and collectors in California, Texas, Ohio and Massachusetts, she said.

JAKE OCCHIPINTI of Verrado fires a pitch March 29 at Verrado. The Vipers beat Centennial High School from Gresham, Ore., 4-3 as part of the Coach Bob National Invitational tournament. The Vipers went 5-3 in the event and are 17-4 overall.

Vipers’ strong pitching has it atop 5A Verrado’s 9 powerpoints victories leading way in conference by Casey Pritchard sports editor

Sometimes losing can be an integral part in setting a team off in the right direction. That’s what happened with Verrado’s baseball team. The Vipers dropped the semifinal contest of the Wayne Des Combes Westside Invitational Feb. 25 but didn’t lose another game for more than a month. The 12-game winning streak included nine consecutive power-points victories, which has Verrado at the top of the 5A rankings. “We’re doing the things we’ve been taught, doing the things we work on, and obviously, our kids’ talent level is a key factor,” Verrado coach Mark Flatten said of the winning streak. “But I think the mindset of, if we do these things we can be successful, it’s given a young group of kids an opportunity to win, and build confidence. “I didn’t know which way we’d go after [losing to Tolleson] because we played really well, even though we lost, and it was kind of like, which way are we going to go? We went the right direction.” During the nine-game, power-points winning streak, which included two

Verrado has also been very good at Kyle Wellman has also pitched well, getting on base. Even though the team’s

average is under .300, the Vipers have 77 walks and have been hit by a pitch 41 times. That equates to a team OBP of .426. The Vipers have also stolen 37 bases. “We’ve been very good on the bases,” Flatten said. “When we’re not super offensive swinging the bat, we become offensive because we’re in a lot of high pressure situations by being good on the bases.” Verrado’s 12-game winning streak included three straight victories to start the Coach Bob National Invitational tournament March 27 through April 1. The Vipers lost to Clackamas High School out of Clackamas, Ore., 2-1, in the tournament semifinals. Overall, the Vipers went 5-3 in the event, playing four freedom games on top of the four bracket games. That allowed Flatten to use a lot of different players to give everyone experience. “We’re playing four games in the bracket part pretty close to our normal starting lineup, and the other four, we’re really trying to see what we’ve got, or continue to build some depth down the road,” Flatten said. “I like all our guys. I feel like we could put any guy in the lineup and get production out of him, or get something solid, but you never know until they’re in pressure situations, which is why I like this tournament. “We have three or four guys I like a lot that just aren’t getting the time when your first 10 guys are producing at a high rate like they are right now.” (See Pitching on Page 14)

Estrella Foothills girls tennis struggled last year coming off a state championship in 2015. The Lady Wolves’ top player and individual state champ, Zoey Nelson, didn’t participate, and the team moved up from Division III to Division II. The combination left Estrella winless in new coach Garrett Maier’s first season at the helm. GIRLS This year has been a TENNIS different story. Nelson returned for her senior year, and the Wolves had more than twice as many athletes show up to tryouts. The improved depth has helped Estrella to a 5-4 start, putting it in contention to make the state playoffs. “It’s really exciting to be winning some matches this year,” Maier said. “I think on any girls tennis team, attitude is everything. That’s one of our strong suits is we’ve got a lot of kids with great attitudes.” Estrella won each of its first two matches to begin the year, both by 6-3 scores. That helped with the team psyche right off the bat. “Last year, I think it was really easy to get down on ourselves being 0-13,” Maier said. “So, this year, coming out with a win to begin with was big for us and kind of set the tone for us that OK, this is something we can do. “On the coaching side of things, they make it incredibly easy on me because they’re a great group of kids. They’re all super coachable, so when we go out for practice, it’s pretty focused, pretty attentive, and it’s really nice, as a coach, to see the things you’re talking about the day before, the week before, practiced in the match. That’s been big for us.” As difficult as a winless season can be for a coach, Maier had a great group of athletes who made it an excellent experience last year, he said. It also taught them what they needed to improve upon. “We had a lot of tough matches,” Maier said. “It was very humbling, but it was great in the sense that it gave us many targets for what to work on this year. When we were doing some of our offseason work, it was nice to look at a list of, alright, here’s kind of the weaknesses that this team exploited, here’s the weaknesses this team showed in us. To have that focus this year has been incredible, and the kids are a little more responsive to it because they can remember being weak at things, and a

TYLER COTTO, right, of Verrado makes a tag at home plate against a Gresham, Ore., Centennial runner March 27 at Verrado. The Vipers’ 17-4 record includes a 12-game winning streak, and their 9-0 record in power-points games has them at the top of the 5A rankings.

Pitching (From Page 11) Verrado returned to playing power-points games Tuesday when hosting Phoenix Barry Goldwater. The result was unavailable at press time. The Vipers’ next game is at 3:45 p.m. Thursday when they host Maricopa. Even though Verrado enters the week as the No. 1 team in power points, that’s not always a good thing, Flatten said. “Normally, my disposition is I like to be in that [No.] 3 to 8 range because you’re always trying to push forward,”

Flatten said. “When you become the one guy, there’s nowhere else to go but down. Sometimes, especially in the power-point situation, you can be playing really well and go backward. So, I think in the mindset, that’s tough because a lot of kids lose that concept, hey, we’re playing exactly the same, we’re winning games, but the powerpoint system can move you backward just by virtue of everything else that’s happening, and you don’t have any control over that.” Despite the fact that Verrado could get caught and passed for the top spot, Flatten likes the way his team is playing right now. “It [No. 1 ranking] is a little concerning in the sense that it can mess with your mind, but in general, I like where we’re at because I feel like we’re playing pretty good, and if that’s a sign of hey, you guys are doing the

right thing, I think we probably deserve that,” Flatten said. Verrado also tops the Desert West Region standings with a 2-0 record. Eight of its final nine games are against region opponents. “I like what we’re doing right now,” Flatten said. “The coaching side of me is like, are we playing too good, too early? Are we doing more than I thought and at some point, we’ll come back to reality? I like what we’re doing in practice, which is probably where we do our best work. Hopefully, that’s something that keeps us on that consistent plane.”

Contending (From Page 13) year later, they’re having a chance, having done all those offseason things, to correct them.� Getting Nelson back has also been a big positive. She skipped the high school season last year to focus on other tournaments, and she hasn’t lost a match this year for the Lady Wolves. Additionally, she’s been very helpful with the other girls on the team. “Zoey, obviously tennis skill wise, brings a lot of knowledge to the game and to our team, which is incredible as a coach to have,� Maier said. “She’s incredibly kind and helpful, and really eager to get to know her teammates and be a team player. It’s really easy in tennis, because it’s such an individual sport, to be an individual on the team, but she’s got such a team mentality to her that it is awesome to work with her.� Maier said Nelson’s goal is to win another state championship, and she has all the tools to do so. “I think she will be an excellent contender for the state championship this year,� Maier said. “It’s a goal of hers, a goal of mine. This year, compared to her sophomore year, being able to watch her play, her growth is exponential. In Division II, I’m certain that she’s one of the players to beat.�

Nos. 2-4 While Nelson, a senior, is the team’s No. 1 player, the Lady Wolves’ No. 2 is a freshman, Hannah Archer. Maier said she’s been doing fantastic, although she had lost a few matches in a row before beating her Scottsdale Coronado opponent March 30. “Today [March 30] she won 6-0 6-0,� Maier said. “She came off the court smiling, which was one of the first times in a while.� Archer has been playing against mostly juniors and seniors because of her No. 2 seeding, Maier said. “That’s so intimidating as a freshman playing your first season of competitive

tennis,� Maier said. “It’s nerve-racking, and I think where her growth will come from is her mental game. That’s what we’re working on. If, this year, we can kind of tackle some of those foundational things that are mental, I think next year and the years after, her growth will be incredible.� Estrella’s No. 3 player is Mariah Cathey, while Eva Serbin is at No. 4. Both have been doing well, Maier said. “They did a little bit of offseason work, stayed a little fresh in the offseason, and that’s certainly been helpful for us because last year, we didn’t have too much depth. To have that depth of kids that I know where they were at last year, where they were at all through the offseason, and now being able to jump right back in, it’s almost like they’re in midseason form because of that offseason work. “There are not a ton of teams that 1-6 can hit the ball back every time, so our [Nos.] 3 and 4 spots have been really crucial for us this season. Having them be really competitive has been a big change from last year.� The Nos. 5 and 6 spots have changed throughout the season, but part of that can be attributed to Estrella’s depth. “We were incredibly fortunate to have had so many kids come out this year,� Maier said. “Last season, we had nine come out and this year, we had 25. To be able to choose a team this year was big, and to have that interest level in the team was big as well. It’s a little more motivating in a tryout period where people are really contending for spots. I’m not only looking for kids who are going to play this season, but kids I can see potential in.� Maier kept 15 of the 25 who tried out, and seven of the nine on the JV roster are underclassmen. Maier said he’s really excited to be growing the program. “That’s one of the things after the season last year, I sat down and kind of evaluated what we could be doing better,�

HANNAH ARCHER of Estrella Foothills hits a forehand shot March 28 at Estrella Foothills. Archer, a freshman, is the Lady Wolves’ No. 2 player. Maier said. “This year, I was really intentional about keeping a lot of young talent and young talent who may not be great at tennis, but have an awesome attitude and are there working hard every day, because I know they’re going to get better.�

Important matches Estrella is in the midst of an important stretch of its schedule, as three of its final four matches are within Section III. The Lady Wolves are 0-1 in the section so far, having lost to Yuma Gila Ridge March 28. Estrella hosted Lake Havasu Tuesday, the result was unavailable at press time, and play at 3:30 p.m. Thursday at Buckeye. “The next two matches, specifically, are incredibly important for us,â€? Maier said. “We have Lake Havasu Tuesday and Buckeye Thursday, and both are in the top 10 of Division II ‌ I think those will

be good matches for us, and they’ll be important for us if we’re looking for a shot at the region title.� Overall, Estrella is 21st in the powerpoints rankings. Section winners automatically qualify for state, and eight at-large playoff berths will be given. That means the Lady Wolves need to be in the neighborhood of the 16th spot if they want to have a chance to make the state tournament. “It wasn’t a goal at the beginning of the season, but based on our success this season compared to last season — if we can do well in these next couple matches, and our last three in our last week, we’re hoping to get closer to the top 16 to get a shot, at least, to get a match or two at team state this year,� Maier said.

Burt led ISWNE’s editorial page critiques for many years including 1983.

Burt Freireich

Burt Freireich was a wordsmith, a journalist, an editor, editorial writer, columnist and publisher. Accuracy and precision in the written word were things he strived for and demanded. Burt died March 29. He would want you to say he died, not that he reached his last holy reward or met his maker. That’s what he always said of the obituary as a journalistic form. Burt accomplished much in his years as a writer and the co-owner and publisher of the Daily News-Sun in Sun City from 1960 to 1984. Burt edited and wrote sports for the daily Phoenix Gazette in the 1950s. Burt owned the Westside Enterprise for a short time in Avondale, along with the Glendale News. He was chairman of the board of the West Valley View. Burt was president of the Arizona Newspapers Association in 1973, president of the International Society of Weekly Newspaper Editors in 1968-69, a Golden Dozen editorial award winner and, along with his wife, Ursula, ISWNE’s Cervi Award winner in 2008, an award given for lifetime achievement in journalism. Burt also was in charge of editorial critiques for a number of years for ISWNE. What stood out in his mind in recent years was his time as a soldier in the 309th Infantry, 78th Division in Europe during World War II. Earlier in the war, he had guarded Italian prisoners of war at Papago Park outside of Phoenix. Burt was home on leave when the great prisoner escape happened prompting him to tell his mother that the whole place fell apart when he left. He volunteered to go overseas. Those memories were the last to leave him perhaps because they left such an impact on him. He experienced death of comrades and enemies and a concussion that ended his time on the battleࣅeld at the Bridge at Remagen, Germany. He kept those memories bottled up until years later when a reporter for the Rocky Mountain News interviewed Burt and other members of the 78th Division for the story. Burt wrote about some of the men he served with for a Memorial Day column that was originally published in the News-Sun and is now reprinted every year in the West Valley View. He received a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star. Burt was born in Oak Park, Ill., April 5, 1925. He was a graduate of the journalism school at the University of Illinois. He was a lifelong Cubs fan attending his ࣅrst game at age 7 with his father. His father was a gambler, even betting on balls and strikes out in the bleacher seats. Other relatives, Big Chickie and Little Chickie, owned a cigar shop in Chicago that was a front for a bookie joint. One day, someone actually bought a cigar there and Burt was sure he was surprised when he lit it up what was such an old cigar. Burt also loved thoroughbred race horses, betting on the ponies and even owning race horses. He is survived by a son, Elliott (Marquita); granddaughters, Rachael and Marissa Freireich; daughter, Debbie Kipp; grandson, Jesse Kipp (Kendall); one great grand-daughter; brother, Stan; and sister, Betty. He was predeceased by his wife, Ursula, and his sister, Thelma Johnson. A memorial service will be held at 10 a.m. Friday, April 7, at Thompson Funeral Chapel, 926 S. Litchࣅeld Road, Goodyear. Condolences may be left at www.thompsonfuneralchapel.com. Contributions can be made to Alzheimer’s research.

Betty Louise Scofield Drake Betty Louise Scofield Drake, 78, of Goodyear died April 1, 2017, in Ogden, Utah, of natural causes. Mrs. Drake was born Aug. 14, 1938, in Spokane, Wash., to Elizabeth Ann Kern and William Grant Scofield and was raised by Rachel Doyle Scofield Stephens in Oregon and Washington. She married Leland Dean Drake on Aug. 30, 1957, in Skamania, Wash. With her husband in the Air Force, they served at Larsen Air Force Base near Moses Lake, Wash., Anderson Air Force Base in Guam, Whiteman Air Force Base near Knob Knoster, Mo., Betty Drake and Luke Air Force Base. She worked as a certified nurses aid and licensed practical nurse. She was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served as a Girl Scout leader. She was preceded in death by her husband, Leland; and one daughter, Sennet. She is survived by one daughter, Cindy Gollwitzer of North Pole, Alaska; one son, Doug of Layton, Utah; nine grandchildren; and 20 great-grandchildren. Services will be private in Layton, Utah, with interment at Rest Haven Memorial Gardens in Glendale. Condolences may be left at lindquistmortuary.com.

Helping someone learn the English language is an opportunity to influence a life, according to the leader of a literacy group that serves the West Valley. “In today’s world, it’s becoming critical to speak English,� said Jan Cosgrove of Goodyear, president of the Southwest Valley Literacy Association, which serves Avondale, Buckeye, Goodyear, Litchfield Park and Tolleson. The group, which is observing its 40th anniversary, is seeking additional volunteers to add to its team of 95 tutors who teach English to more than 200 students, she said. “It’s not like a classroom, it’s one on one or two on one,� Cosgrove said about lessons conducted by the group, which she called a “language skills organization� dedicated to helping students listen, speak, read and write. For the tutors, it’s a chance to make an impact on a student’s life. “The satisfaction it brings is amazing,� Cosgrove said. “It’s like you’re changing their life. It’s like you’ve opened a door for them.� For the students, learning English means gaining a practical skill, she said. “We do whatever they need,� she said. Lacking command of the English language can limit a person’s opportunities. Cosgrove said. Many students want the lessons to solve a problem, such as helping a child in school or gaining a job or a promotion, she said.

“These people are so dedicated,� she said. “They are so motivated.� A 2011-12 study found a majority of students reported gaining consumer skills, improving employment skills and increased involvement in their children’s educational activities. They also reported more involvement in community affairs and success in obtaining driver’s licenses and finding jobs. Anna Lopez, 35, of west Phoenix said she started the lessons about a year and a half ago with the goal of helping her three sons, ages 11, 8 and 5. “It’s something that I needed,� said Lopez, who came to the U.S. from Mexico 15 years ago. “My kids sometimes laughed at me.� She said her progress has been slow, but she reads books to her children and her husband recently encouraged her to speak English at home. Lopez is one of three students tutored by Pam Marshall, who started volunteering a year and a half ago when she sought a project after she retired and moved to Goodyear. “It’s been a fabulous experience,� Marshall said. “You get so much more out of it than you put into it.� She said she uses pictures to convey concepts and challenges students to initiate conversations in English. “The more exposed they are to English, the easier it’s going to be,� she said. Additional tutors are needed because the number of students seeking help keeps growing.

Students are assigned to one of four learning levels, from those who lack command of the language to those who might be preparing to attend higher education, Cosgrove said. Some students stay in the program for two or three years, she said. Tutors and students determine a schedule for 90-minute lessons as frequently as two or three times a week that are held in libraries, churches and other public spaces, Cosgrove said. Students pay $50 a year for the lessons and the group also obtains funds from community grants in the cities it serves, she said. Most tutors are retired people, but there are some college students, Cosgrove said. The ideal tutor is educated and knowledgeable, perhaps a professional person who is interested and caring about others, she said. “They kind of become friends and counselors,â€? she said. Tutors need to have time to prepare lessons and they are asked for a one-year commitment, but many volunteer for years, Cosgrove said. “After the first year, they want to do more,â€? she said. “Once they start, it becomes a priority.â€? Tutor certification sessions will be conducted Saturday, April 15, June 3 and June 10. For information, visit swvalleyliteracy. org or email office@swvalleyliteracy.org.

Cosgrove said in the nine years that she’s been involved with the group, the number of students has doubled. A majority of students are Hispanic, but she has noticed an increasing number of Koreans, who are often spouses of Koreans assigned to Luke Air Force Base. Students range in age into the 70s, but most are 30 to 45 years old and a majority are women, she said. Most tutors are also women, but Cosgrove said there’s a need for male tutors who can serve as role models for male students. Cosgrove said some people hesitate to volunteer as tutors because they don’t know Spanish or lack teaching experience — factors she said aren’t disqualifying. To become certified to teach, tutors get 12 hours of training over two weekends, she said. “It’s about learning how to deal with non-English speaking people and how to teach successfully,� she said. The teaching method doesn’t involve a school curriculum of English grammar, but is more like how a parent teaches a child, she said. Lessons include role-playing, with the goal of building confidence to do such things as understand supermarket labels and restaurant menus, Cosgrove said. “You need to know what you need to know to survive,� she said. “We need to help them from where they are to where they need to be.� The philosophy is reflected in the title of the program’s textbook, Reading for Life.
