The first Catholic high school in the West Valley will mark progress for the region and the church, according to the leader of the Phoenix Diocese. Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted presided over one of the ceremonial steps in establishing the school on April 5 when he blessed the ground where the high school will be built next to St. Thomas Aquinas Parish, 13720 W. Thomas Road, Avondale. “This is a great day for the church and the Southwest Valley,” Olmsted said. “It’s a clear statement about the importance of young Catholics.”

He sprinkled water on the construction site and unveiled a sign for the school to be known as St. John Paul II Catholic High School. Olmsted noted that the school is being named for the pope who started World Youth Days during his reign as leader of the Catholic Church from 1978 until his death in 2005. Pope John Paul visited the Valley in 1987, at a time Olmsted worked with him in Rome. He was canonized in 2014. The blessing ceremony came one year after the diocese announced plans to build the school, which is expected to open in fall 2018 for up to 600 students in grades nine and 10.

MaryBeth Mueller, superintendent of schools for the diocese, said the campus would have the ability to expand to 1,000 students as grades 11 and 12 open in 2019 and 2020. “We’re excited to serve families in the Southwest Valley,” Mueller said. The diocese operates two West Valley schools for pupils attending preschool through eighth grade — St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic School in Avondale, with 450 pupils, and St. John Vianney Catholic School in Goodyear, with 300 pupils. Construction could possibly start by January on a structure that may include areas that won’t be completed until more space is needed, Mueller said. (See Catholic on Page 2)

Zika blamed for diminishing blood supply Reserves down after ban on donors returning from areas affected by virus by Glenn Gullickson staff writer

An agency that provides blood for hospitals in Maricopa County is urging people to step up and donate blood to replenish a diminishing supply — a situation attributed to the Zika Virus. Since travelers who have recently been to Mexico or other Zika Virus-risk areas are ineligible to donate, some blood drives have been canceled and others are collecting less blood than expected, according to Sue Thew, public and media relations coordinator for United Blood Services Arizona.

“We’re seeing fewer donations,” Thew said. “We need people to replace those who won’t be able to donate blood.” Recent blood drives have collected an average of 36 percent less than expected, Thew said. Other drives have been canceled because regular donors are among those who routinely cross the border, she said. Thew said the hardest hit area is southern Arizona, including Yuma and San Luis, where people who cross the border are deferred from donating blood for 28 days after their return. “We’re a border state, so people freely travel back and forth over the border, especially during spring break,” Thew said. She noted that one of every six blood donations comes from a teen donor. Dr. Rebecca Sunenshine, medical director of the Maricopa County Health Department, said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s

recommendation on restricting blood donations is similar to procedures put in place for outbreaks of other diseases that can be transmitted through blood products. “It’s important for folks to consider the impact the Zika Virus is having on the blood supply,” Sunenshine said. United Blood Services supplies blood to 64 hospitals in Arizona, Thew said. To maintain the blood supply, the agency needs 500 donors at a dozen daily blood drives it conducts or at six Valley donor centers, Thew said. United Blood Services strives to maintain a three-day supply of blood, but stockpiles of some blood types have been down to a half a day, she said. “We’re working with a lot leaner supply than we would like to operate with,” Thew said.

The school’s architecture will be consistent with existing parish buildings, she said. The diocese has an arrangement to use the pool and training facilities at the nearby Southwest Valley Family YMCA in Goodyear and hopes to share other resources with Estrella Mountain Community College in Avondale, Mueller said. The Rev. Fred Adamson, vicar general of the Phoenix Diocese, said the “journey of faith” for the school started in 1999 when the diocese purchased the 21-acre tract where the school will be built. Planning started in 2013 with meetings with West Valley priests, Adamson said. A 2014 feasibility study found 70,000 students of high school age in the region, he said.

Zika (From Page 1) Thew said all blood types are needed, but especially desirable are donors with Type-O negative, the most widely used blood type, because they are considered universal donors. Other types greatly needed are AB negative, O positive and A positive, Thew said. The average donor gives blood once or twice a year, Thew said, but she noted that blood can be donated every eight weeks. Zika is spread primarily through the bite of an Aedes species mosquito. The virus can also be contracted during sexual intercourse with an infected person. Infection with Zika during pregnancy has been linked to birth defects in infants where the virus has been found in Central and South America and the Caribbean islands. Those who travel to infected areas are encouraged to take steps to protect others for a couple of weeks after they return, Sunenshine said. She said there have been tests for several suspected cases of Zika in Maricopa County, with the first confirmed case reported in March in a woman who had traveled outside the country. But mosquitoes don’t respect borders, and one of the types of mosquitoes that transmits the disease has been found in Arizona. That means people should take precautions encouraged by the “Fight the Bite Day and Night” campaign, including applying repellent and wearing long pants and

FRAN DROZDZ, 72, smiles outside her Litchfield Park home April 1. Drozdz, who has completed a marathon in each of the 50 states, is preparing to run in the Boston Marathon.

W.V. woman on the run Litchfield Park resident training for Boston Marathon by Glenn Gullickson staff writer

A 72-year-old Litchfield Park woman who has completed a marathon in every state is preparing to participate in what she considers the ultimate run, and is raising funds for a cancer charity in the process. Fran Drozdz will run in the 120th Boston Marathon on April 18. “It’s the granddaddy of them all, the most prestigious marathon there is,” said Drozdz, who has been doing the 26-mile run for more than 35 years. But getting to run in her first Boston Marathon took a little doing. Drozdz said her qualifying time of just under five hours was a few minutes slower than the time the marathon was accepting. “They take the people who are fastest in each age (See Run on Page 4)

Valley is Bourgade Catholic High School, 4602 N. 31st Ave. in Phoenix. The last Catholic high school in the diocese was opened in 2002 in Scottsdale. Xavier and Brophy college preparatories are located in Phoenix, and there is also a campus in Chandler. Principal of the new school will be Sister Mary Jordan Hoover of the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia, also known as the “Nashville Dominicans,” referring to their roots in the Tennessee city. She said her order has a 150-year tradition in education and teaches in 34 U.S. schools, from preschool to college. “This high school will have an impact on the West Valley,” Hoover said. Hoover said she and two associates will move to Arizona from Arlington, Va., in August. Fundraising for the school will be part of a campaign in the diocese over the next five years, according to a news release. More than 14,000 pupils attend the diocese’s 28 Catholic elementary schools, six high schools and 28 preschools.

West Phoenix church youth leader Run accused of sexual conduct with minor

(From Page 3)

by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

A west Phoenix youth pastor was arrested April 9 for allegedly having sexual conduct with a 15-year-old church member, officials said. Robert Jerez, 35, faces charges of sexual conduct with a minor and sexual abuse after allegedly having sex with the girl at least 10 times between November 2015 and January, court records state. Jerez was a youth leader at the Grace Walk Community Church, 7840 W. Lower Buckeye in Phoenix, where the victim was a Robert Jerez parishioner, records state. An employee at the church alerted Tolleson police

April 7 that the teen told a friend she was having a sexual relationship with Jerez, who was referred to as “Pastor Tony,” records state. Police spoke to the victim’s father, who provided them with her cell phone that allegedly contained nude photos and sexual text messages sent between Jerez and the victim, records state. During an interview with police, the victim stated she and Jerez did drugs and drank alcohol at her apartment in Tolleson, where they also had sex, records state. She told police the relationship ended in January because she wanted to get clean, records state. After his arrest, Jerez allegedly told police he was aware the victim was underage, and also stated he’s addicted to heroin and Oxycodone, records state.

Buckeye police arrest man in sex assault case by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

A Buckeye man was arrested Tuesday in connection to a sexual assault reported at about 11:25 a.m. near Miller and Maricopa roads in Buckeye, officials said. Jeffrey Short, 36, was booked into Maricopa County Fourth Avenue Jail and faces several felony charges, including violent sexual assault, kidnapping, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, disorderly conduct with a weapon and sexual abuse, said Officer Tamela Skaggs, a spokeswoman with the Buckeye Police Department. When police responded to the Buckeye house, they found the front door open and nobody was inside, Skaggs said. A neighbor reported that a woman showed up at their house partially clothed and asking for help, and that a

man fled the area at a high rate of speed, Skaggs said. Buckeye police learned the man, later identified as Short, might be in the area of 35th and Southern avenues in Phoenix, and asked Phoenix police to assist with its helicopter, Skaggs said. Short’s vehicle was located and a traffic stop was conducted. He fled on foot, but was apprehended a short time later, Skaggs said.

group,” she explained. However, her time made Drozdz a candidate to run with one of the charity teams the marathon sponsors. She is joining more than 550 others in what she calls “the best charity they have in the marathon” — the Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge, which has a goal of raising $5.4 million for a program for innovation in cancer research at Boston’s Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Drozdz, a cancer survivor herself, said she’s dedicating her race to her husband, Stan, who has battled a couple of cancer bouts himself and was inspired by his wife to run half marathons. “I’m running in celebration of him,” Drozdz said. She said she’s also running in memory of her parents, who both had cancer. Preparing for a marathon has its challenges, but being an invited runner on a charity team posed another hurdle for Drozdz — fundraising. “My least favorite thing to do is to ask people for money,” she said. To raise the $5,000 required to join the team, Drozdz said she appealed for donations in a letter she sent to 40 friends and family members. “Everyone was really, really kind,” she said of the replies. “Only two people said no.” Drozdz has been running marathons for half of her life, starting at age 36 in 1979 in Hawaii, where her husband was stationed as a pilot with the U.S. Air Force. She remembered it as a time “when it wasn’t fashionable for women to sweat, much less run.” Drozdz recalled that for her first race, she ran in men’s running shoes. Since then, she’s run in 75 marathons and reached the finish line in each of the 50 states, becoming the 149th woman credited with such an accomplishment. She said she’s well into her second cycle of doing marathons in all the states. “It’s a great way to see the country,” said Drozdz, who moved to Arizona in 1988 when her husband retired from the Air Force. So far, the New York Marathon is her favorite, she said. Not every marathon has been successful, Drozdz said. In October, she dropped out of the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, D.C., which she said was only the second time she hasn’t completed a race. But a week later, visiting runner friends encouraged her to get back on track by doing a marathon in Phoenix, she said. Her weekly training schedule includes running on a track at Luke Air Force Base, running the hills at Rio Vista Park in Peoria and doing long runs of up to 20 miles, Drozdz said. She mixes all the running with yoga and workouts with exercise machines. While the Boston Marathon is legendary, in recent years participants are running in the shadow of the deadly terrorist bombing that disrupted the race in 2013. Drozdz said the bombing means that there are more security precautions in Boston than other races. But that doesn’t deter Drozdz, who is also a motivational speaker and said she tries to live by a philosophy that she posed as a question: “Do you want to be a spectator in life or do you want to be in it?” Glenn Gullickson can be reached at ggullickson@westvalleyview.com.

Goodyear’s Lakeside Music Fest set for Saturday by Jack Hines special to the view

This year marks the third annual Goodyear Lakeside Music Fest. The festival will feature live music from 13 bands and artists of many genres. The festival is being held from noon to 9 p.m. Saturday at the Estrella Lakeside Amphitheater, 10300 S. Estrella Parkway, Goodyear. Admission and parking are free. For nearly 20 years, Goodyear has partnered with the West Valley Arts Council and Newland, the developer of the Estrella community, to create spring music events. “It’s beautiful,” said Sherine Zaya, Goodyear’s communications manager. “You’ve got the amphitheater, you’ve got the lake right there. It’s conducive for music concerts or festivals of this size.” The event is taking place right on the lake shore. The main stage’s headlining act will be Marcos Crego and The Cuban Tribe. “He’s different, something everyone will enjoy,” said Rhiannon Miett, director of marketing for the West Valley Arts Council. Crego recently moved to the United States from Cuba, and has a history of music in his family, his father being a well-known trumpet player in Cuba. He formed his band, The Cuban Tribe, with other Latin musicians. “Crego is trying to fuse the Latin scene into the U.S.,” Miett said. Crego, a two-time Grammy nominee, has been playing music since he was 5 years old, and is currently a piano

In addition, the festival will feature a large variety of other bands, with 13 local bands performing, including Come Back Buddy, a ’50s revival band; Big Nick and the Gila Monsters, a local favorite focused on blues music; Laura Walsh, an American Idol contestant and country singer; and Taylor Upsahl, an up-and-coming indie pop singer. “She is kinda like a young Taylor Swift,” Miett said. Taylor Upsahl recorded her first song at 13, and has released several albums in the four years since then. “It’ll be continuous entertainment and a great festival for the entire family,” said Guylene Ozlanski, arts and culture coordinator for Goodyear. “There’ll be room to relax or dance on the lawn. It’s a true celebration of the arts.” Blankets and lawn chairs are the way to go for kicking back, and there will be plenty of music to keep dancers dancing. In addition, there will be concessions located at the event, offering food and drinks. Also, there will be a children’s zone for the youngsters and a beer and wine tent for the not-so-youngsters. The event promises plenty of room for dancing or sitting, despite the large population expected. The coordinators of the event are anticipating large numbers this year. “This is our third year, and this event has been growing every year. Last year we had 7,000 and this year, we expect more,” Miett said. For information, visit www.westvalleyarts.org. Jack Hines can be reached at jhines@westvalleyview.com.

OUR VIEWPOINT

KEEFE’S OPINION — Cagle Cartoons

EDITORIAL

5 sec at 55 mph = 1 football field Anyone remember that video making the rounds awhile back on social media that showed a montage of people texting while walking? They tripped over curbs, walked into doors and fell into fountains. Now you remember. Funny stuff, right? If only everyone who saw that video and laughed at those idiots could apply that lesson to their own lives, we’d all be a whole lot safer. The average human walks about 3 mph, which, as that video can attest, is too fast to safely move while texting. Yet, people everywhere think nothing of driving 2 tons of metal 45, 55, 65, even 75 mph while texting. April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month, and although the campaign is dedicated to more than just texting, we’re focusing on texting because we think that’s by far the biggest distraction drivers willingly face on a daily basis. And it’s one of our biggest pet peeves. We’ve all had cars swerve into our lanes because the driver was texting. We’ve all sat through more than one red light because a driver ahead of us was texting when it turned green and didn’t notice. We’ve all been stuck behind a car traveling 10 mph under the speed limit because the driver was texting. Those of us who have experienced any one of those scenarios and walked away to complain about it have been lucky. And the texting driver who, chances are, was completely oblivious to any of it was also lucky. But that’s not the case for hundreds, perhaps thousands, every year. The National Safety Council reports cell phones were involved in 350 fatal crashes nationwide in 2011, the latest year for data. But the NSC believes that number to be much higher in reality for several reasons: No test, such as a breathalyzer for a suspected drunk driver, exists for cell phone use. Drivers who crash because of cell phone use don’t always admit it, or can’t admit it because they’re dead. Cell phone records are hard to get. And witnesses’ memories and statements aren’t always accurate. So, once again, we are challenging all drivers to partake in a little exercise from the safety of the passenger seat to see just how far they travel while looking down at their cell phones. The average text takes five seconds to complete. While sitting in the passenger seat, choose an upcoming landmark, a sign, a tree, a house, look down for five seconds and then look back up and see how far you’ve traveled. At 55 mph, you would have gone about the length of a football field. We’re asking every single driver to perform this exercise because reading about it just doesn’t have the same impact as actually experiencing it.

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.

Stumbling elephants Editor: One of the biggest stumbling Republicans was Herbert Hoover. The 1930’s architect of the Great Depression, when three out of four people were out of work, and the soup lines were a mile long. So the, Republicans thought he was doing a great job. So they named a dam after him, really. Richard Nixon thought breaking into the Democratic offices was better then taking care of business. One of the George Bushs thought starting a war, was better than to get caught lying. With Republican friends like these, who needs enemies. Your fired, hit the road. Alfred C. Molina Tonopah

The most important year Editor: This is the most important year in the history of the United States. The stage has been set. We are entering into a time of

growing crises designed to lead us into a tyranny Americans cannot imagine. This process will continue this year and for as long as it takes. To get us to this point has been a long and patient process. The enemies of freedom are not stupid. Signposts along the way are: 1913, 1921, 1945, early 1950’s, mid 1970’s with the final serious push taking place in this century. Strategies used to date, and those yet to be used, have been previously tested, tried and proven elsewhere. From a revolutionary point of view, it’s a brilliant plan. One key element is the coordination of “pressure from below” (street action with massive media coverage and comment) and “pressure from above” (government power to enforce a solution to the perceived problem). Another historically tried and proven tactic on the way to the assumption of total power. As the enemy isn’t stupid, neither are Americans! The problem is we’re uninformed. Consider: If, in your lifetime, all your news came from the national media and related sources, then your conclusions would be correct-only problem is the premise is false because you were denied what you needed to know to retain your freedoms. Also if you’ve been taught the meaning of our Constitution or had studied it yourself, then what is actually happening would be very clear to you. A key here is lack of knowledge (media etc.) and understanding (constitution). I believe most people will have a hard time agreeing with or understanding a brief overview

like this since it is foreign to their thought process. That’s why it’s working so well. Coming events will confirm the seriousness of the problem. Karl L. Nelson Goodyear

‘I take full responsibility’ Editor: So what? Big deal! If there are no consequences, who cares if you take full responsibility. These politicians that act like heroes should suffer as a result of their total incompetence. Bob Golden Buckeye

Voting primary confusion Editor: As I read your editorial about the Primary voting there was one sentence that jumped out at me. You reference that 85% of registered voters mailed in their ballots. That fact begs the question since all eligible Arizona voters have that option why would an eligible voter stand in line? As news reports poured in about long lines at polling stations I do not recall any news organizations asking people why they are standing in line (See Letters on Page 7)

(From Page 6) when they didn’t have to. Not only that, but according to your editorial a huge amount of independents turned out who were not eligible to vote. As complaints poured in and fingers were being pointed at state voting officials and grandstanding politicians were making bogus claims of voter suppression, there seemed to be no discussion of the intelligence of American voters. My suggestion is that when voters make a claim that they are being (disenfranchised) my interpretation of this word — not smart enough to ask questions, you need to take a good look in the mirror. If you can learn one lesson from this fiasco, remember that everybody has access to a mailbox! Donald Baranowski Goodyear

Gun control no laughing matter Editor: If you sell guns to criminals, to people who are mentally unstable, or to people on the terrorist watch list, then you are not being a responsible gun owner. Period! If you don’t know whether someone you sell a gun to happens to fall in one of those categories, then you are not being a responsible gun owner. Responsible gun owners support background checks, and should therefore support closing the gun show loophole because that loophole makes it possible for criminals, the mentally unstable, and those on the terrorist watch list to legally obtain firearms. Closing the gun show loophole does not prevent the law abiding from legally obtaining or using a gun. It does not prevent the law abiding from defending themselves or protecting others from harm. It does not take your guns away nor limit what types of guns you can own. But, those opposed to closing the gun show loophole will try to convince you otherwise. They are not being responsible gun owners when they do that. My guess is, those you hear from who oppose closing the gun show loophole, are people who either should not legally own a gun, or are the irresponsible gun sellers themselves. Why else would they support selling guns to criminals, the mentally unstable, or those on

MATSON’S OPINION — Roll Call the terrorist watch list? The AZ GOP should promote responsible gun ownership and vote down the gun show loophole today! Patrick Orr Avondale

McCain forgets … Editor: Senator McCain, The Senator from our state has once again shown where his interests lie. In a statement that sounded a lot like a campaign speech the Senator blamed the unions at the VA for the problems. He apparently has forgotten the review of the VA that showed they were short 3000 doctors. He also forgot that when they went to Congress for the funding necessary they were turned down. He also forgot that the President had to once again usurp the Congress by giving Veterans the right to go to a private doctor. He then failed to mention that the Congress, that he is a part of, immediately stepped in and put restrictions on going to a private doctor that made it difficult for a large number of the Veterans in need to take advantage of the Presidents Bill. It is also interesting that the so called reporter from CBS stood there and did not question his blaming the unions and also not questioning the major role that the Congress has when it comes to the care of our Veterans. McCain was trying to win the votes of those underpaid Americans that think that the union workers in this country are making too much money. The truth of the matter is there are few unions left with the ability to have any impact on salaries, todays unions are lucky to get their workers a living wage. I’m surprised he didn’t blame the teachers union for the fact that our schools in Arizona are at rock bottom and of course forget the fact that our Republican Governor has reneged on his campaign promise to improve our schools. Notice that when a politician makes a statement, numbers are not included. How much do these overpaid workers earn? Art Boyle Buckeye

Shooter, clean up your act by Jeff Knox The Firearms Coalition director

This Saturday, April 16, the Arizona Game & Fish Department is sponsoring a cleanup day for the casual shooting area just west of North Miller Road. I frequently shoot in that area, and I hope to see a large number of my fellow shooters turn out to participate in the cleanup. As an active shooter and rights advocate, I’m deeply concerned about the trend of more and more public lands being closed to informal recreational shooting. A major contributing factor to these closures has been Jeff Knox the prevalence of shootertrash. It has been a serious problem for years, and it’s only getting worse with urban sprawl concentrating shooters into more limited areas. Shooter-trash has been used as justification for closing thousands of acres to shooting, forcing more consolidation of shooters — and shooter-trash — leading to more and louder calls for additional shooting bans. When the popular shooting areas above North Watson Road were closed a few years ago as plans for Skyline Park came together, the subsequent cleanup effort in that area was nothing short of monumental. Huge amounts of bullet-riddled trash and spent cases and shells were collected and hauled from the area. Since then, the Miller Road area has seen major increases in shooting activity, and it has quickly begun to take on the same sort of garbage dump appearance that plagued Watson. Other areas of

the West Valley are similarly degrading, and it’s going to result in fewer places to shoot if we — the shooters — don’t start cleaning up our act. In all fairness, the problem is not all shooters or only shooters. Many shooters leave the area better than they found it, and just as shooters seek out areas that are relatively easy to get to, but still away from public view, so too do people looking to illegally dump their junk. Unfortunately, once something is dumped in a shooting area, it’s going to become a target. Once it’s full of holes, it’s no longer just litter, it’s shooter-trash. It’s easy to be complacent and fatalistic; to think that with all the existing mess, the little you add doesn’t hurt much, and the little you might take away wouldn’t help much. That’s just wrong. If most of us would just do a little more — making sure that we always take out everything we brought in, and grabbing some of what others have left — most of the problem wouldn’t exist. A few of us have been talking about forming an organization of Miller Road shooters to engage in ongoing cleanup activities, represent shooters’ interests in dealings with BLM and the county, and encourage safety and environmental responsibility among our fellow shooters. If you’d be interested in helping to get such an organization started, drop me an email at Jeff@FirearmsCoalition.org, or better yet, look for me on Saturday at the cleanup. If we don’t take care of it, we’re going to lose it, so let’s all pitch in. Jeff Knox is a Buckeye resident and Director of The Firearms Coalition, a Second Amendment advocacy group. He is also a regular columnist for Firearms News magazine and WND.com, and a contributor to various firearms publications.

The Trump Editor: Trumps campaign for President 2016. Are we to judge him on what he says he can do for the Country or judge him on what he has actually done running for the highest office in the land. Time and again , its his personal attacks on people , Trumps actions are just bizarre. Clinton takes a bathroom break during a prior debate, Trump does a 5 minuted creepy take on it. Trumps personal attacks on people , especially women is unnerving . The voters just deserve better. Not a President that just wants to constantly wants to get even like a school yard bully. His foreign polices all have holes in them, very flawed. Regardless of what Trump says he does promote violate behavior , over and over. Trump is unhinged, and erratic in his behavior. We really have no idea what he would do as president, and I for one hope we never find out. Vickie J. Chelini Buckeye

1 rotten apple Editor: Donald Trump gets shouted down in Chicago by Progressives

who disagree with his message, and want to silence and punish him. That is what America has become. One does not have to be a Donald Trump to get shut down. Being a Conservative and standing up for your beliefs and expressing them in a newspaper such as the West Valley View will generate push back. Some time ago the View was deluged with demands to not print any more of my letters. To their credit, the View did not acquiesce. In fact, even playing bocce ball in Pebble Creek, because of my Conservative opinions , in 2014, I was forced out of the league, because the league president, who incidentally is a former movie actress, was an opportunist with an agenda. She took it totally upon herself to fabricate an insidious and false narrative about me. In a kangaroo court style atmosphere, she convinced the apathetic captains of the bocce league, many of them half brain dead, with an impaired ability to think for themselves, to vote me out of the league. I had to beg for thirty seconds to speak in my behalf. Believe me, the president timed my response with her watch as well as made mocking gestures of me behind my back, for the benefit of the captains sitting in front of me as the jury. She, of course was the judge. As a former actress, with well developed drama skills, she cunningly used her skills to ruthlessly take control of the group to obtain her desired results ! Clearly I don’t blame Pebble Creek for her bad behavior. Pebble Creek is a fabulous place. One “rotten apple” living there does not spoil the entire community. Roy Azzarello Goodyear

has Luke been a huge part of air history, it continues to be at the heart of national security as the training center for the F-35 for pilots worldwide. Not only was I proud of our hometown, it was gratifying to see so many people from all age ranges attending. It all sounded like Freedom to me.

City should help voters vote Editor: Voting is a cornerstone in our democracy. It is a sacred right we have as citizens, to have our voices heard. However, in our Presidential preference election, many of our voices were not heard. It is estimated that over 90,000 people in Maricopa County went to the polls to exercise their right to vote in person, only to be greeted by four to five hour wait times. It was a direct result from the Maricopa County Recorder’s office decision to reduce polling locations down from 200 in 2012 to 60 in this year’s election. Let us keep in mind that Maricopa County has over 1.5 million residents. The reason provided according to Helen Purcell, Maricopa County Recorder, for the reduction in polling locations was to run an election “as cheap as humans could do it”. As a result, thousands of people were disenfranchised because of these cost saving measures. As an Avondale resident, I am calling on our city to work closely with our county and state officials to ensure Avondale has its equitable share of polling locations, as well as find innovative solutions to help get voters to the polls. I suggest utilization of the Zoom shuttle on Election Day to transport people to polls, eliminating transportation

barriers. In my opinion, our government should be our number one advocate when it comes to exercising our right to vote. This is not a Democrat or Republican issue; this is an American issue. The truth is; your vote does matter. Let this last election serve as motivation for you to show up in droves for the upcoming primary on August 30, 2016 and the general election on November 8, 2016. Real change comes through the ballot box. We must never lose hope in our vote. Devin Del Palacio Avondale

Let’s talk dishonesty Editor: I had to laugh out loud at a letter headed Poiitifact gives Trump, Cruz F’s. The letter was so partisan, it made no attempt at any truthfulness of its own! It’s a fact the Democrat candidates are both dishonest, Bernie the best of the two, though he paints a rosy picture of life as a Socialist/Communist and knows full well this country cannot do the expensive things he’s promising to do. As for HIllary, nothing in her entire life has been truth, from her earliest job on the committee investigating Nixon (she was fired for her dishonesty way back then), to White Water, Travel Gate, running as a carpetbagger in NY state, her non-accomplishments as Senator, her taking us to a dark place as Secretary of State her questionable staff, Benghazi lies, the emails she deleted. There is so much more. She goes on and on about her being a champion of women yet she paid her female staff 75% less than she

paid the males and she headed up the destruction of the women victims of her husband as leader of the “Bimbo Patrol.” Need I go into detail about the Clinton Foundation slush fund to enrich it founders via its donors paying for influence? The Foundation is being investigated as only 15% actually goes to charitable works. Whatever the case with the Republican candidates, it would be catastrophic were HIllary Clinton to be the next president. She is ruthlessly dishonest and self-interested. She cares nothing, really, for us. It is power and a place in history she craves. With Hillary the United States would be driven down a road of no return. And here’s the cherry on top: we’ll have an impeached president back in the White House! Please, we cannot allow that to

happen to our country. Carrie Mataraza Goodyear

Who’s lying now? Editor: After reading the diatribe about the deceit of the Republican politicians I decided to check on the honesty of one Hillary Clinton using the same (liberal) source as mentioned by Jon Flynn “Politifact” and found that she lied or “pants on fire” half the time. Hey they are all politicians, and most stated as attorneys. Whatcha expect? Carl Deierling Goodyear

Co-owners Mary Salais and Ruben Salcedo each owned shops on Western Avenue in Avondale in the mid-2000s — Salais an antique store and Salcedo a custom cabinet shop. The duo decided to get back in the business-owning business, and joined forces to open Ruben & Mary’s Treasures. The store, which is not quite open, will eventually be a fusion of antique and collectable displays in front and a workshop in the back. The antique portion will sell “everything imaginable,” Salais said. The initial stock has plenty of Native American pottery, dressers, paintings, old memorabilia, lamps and even a couple of wine refrigerators. Salais said some of her collection comes from far away places such as Mexico, the Philippines and Laughlin, Nev. Salais said she got back into the business because of her passion for antiquing. “I like what I do,” Salais said. “I’ve always liked what I do.” The other half of the shop will eventually be a workshop where customers can get furniture repaired, sharpen tools or check out and purchase collections of antique tools and collectables, such as a cash register from the early 1900s (currently in stock). The workshop portion of the operation will not be fully functional until late 2016 or early 2017. One rule of thumb: the furniture should be small enough to carry in through the shop without needing excessive help.

The store is scheduled to open by the end of April. Once Salais and Salcedo wrap up the finishing touches on the store and open up, I’ll be sure to let everyone know. In case anyone missed it, Angry Crab Shack at 310 N. Litchfield Road in Goodyear has officially expanded its hours to include lunch. The new hours are 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Red Dragon Buffet is also coming in at Coldwater Plaza in Avondale, east of Dysart Road between Interstate 10 and Van Buren Street. No official word on an opening date for the Chinese food buffet yet, but I’ll keep you posted. There have been some rumors about a Harley Davidson motorcycle retailer coming to Goodyear. The city received a request in January to rezone land from commercial to automotive-related sales north of I-10, south of McDowell Road and between Pebble Creek Parkway and Sarival Avenue. It may be a ways off, but the wheels look to be in motion. That’s all I have for you this week, folks. I trust everyone will have a great week until the next edition of the Briefcase hits your driveways. Send in tips, questions or comments to smcowen@ westvalleyview.com. See you next week!

A summer workshop will help students assemble a portfolio of work needed to apply for a college level arts program. The Advanced Placement Arts Program, a partnership between the city of Goodyear and the Goodyear Arts and Cultural Committee, is accepting applications. The program being conducted for the second year will offer art lessons and guidance for students considering a career in art, said Bonnie Mostert-Lewis, co-administrator of the program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a summer program for the truly dedicated kids to help them round out their portfolios,â&#x20AC;? Mostert-Lewis said. Portfolios are required by students as they apply to attend art schools, she said. Sessions for 20 students each will be offered June 7-30 and July 6-28 at the Goodyear Community Center, 420 E. Loma Linda Blvd., Goodyear. Classes will meet Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings. The classes will start with drawing, which Mostert-Lewis said is the basis for all art, then advance to painting. Professional artists and representatives from Valley art schools will serve as guest speakers. At the end of the course, the student artists will show their work in an exhibit.

Guylene Ozlanski, arts and culture coordinator for Goodyear, said the project grew out of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Follow Your Artâ&#x20AC;? program, an effort to provide art opportunities for residents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to help them take the next step,â&#x20AC;? Ozlanski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They get to learn from people making their living doing their art.â&#x20AC;? The program is free to high school junior and senior art students in high school districts in Avondale, Buckeye, Goodyear and Tolleson. Sophomores and other students can participate with a recommendation from their art instructor. Last year, 15 students attended the pilot program. Mostert-Lewis is director of the nonprofit Catitude Gallery in Avondale, which for the second year donated 100 percent of the proceeds from its Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day SweetArts promotion to the program. Mostert-Lewis said the PebbleCreek Art Club has also donated to the program. She said $150 student sponsorships are being sought to fund the program. Application forms are available through the Goodyear Parks and Recreation Office, 3075 N. Litchfield Road, Goodyear, and will be accepted firstcome, first-served.

Battling bullying Goodyear teen talks about trauma of torment by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

In fourth grade, classmates created clubs based on hating her and even wrote songs and books depicting her death. That was just the beginning of the bullying for 16-yearold Taylor Fuller. The next year, they made up the code name “Kaleidoscope” to secretly talk about her. “Every day, they’d come up to me and say, ‘Don’t you hate Kaleidoscope so much? Everyone hates her,’” Taylor said. At the end of the year, they revealed who Kaleidoscope really was. “I was really upset about it, because people I didn’t even know despised I existed,” Taylor said. “How can someone I don’t even know do that?” Middle school wasn’t any better. “I wanted to switch schools out of the district, but my parents said it would be a new start,” Taylor said. “It was a new start — of torture.” She began writing her thoughts in a diary, hoping it would help her deal with the torment, but someone found the book and read it aloud to the class. That’s when she started self harming. “It wasn’t the appropriate coping skill, but it made me feel alive,” Taylor said. The bullying got worse as technology came into play. In seventh and eighth grade, classmates began using the website ask.fm, which allows users to ask people anonymous questions online. “They’d ask me why I wouldn’t just kill myself and would just harass me on there,” Taylor said. She was even accused of asking the questions herself for attention. “I sunk into a deep depression and didn’t care about any of my grades or anything,” Taylor said. Freshman year was another new start at Millennium High School in Goodyear. She wanted to get her grades up so she could go to a good college, but the bullying continued. “Random people just hated me, and they’d post about me on Twitter even though I didn’t even have a Twitter,” Taylor said. Among the tweets were nude photos, which students claimed were Taylor. “It was just hard. I didn’t like being somewhere where I felt like everybody was against me,” she said. “When I got home, it was still there, because they were harassing me constantly.” She wanted it to end, but there was no relief in sight. “I didn’t want to be on the Earth anymore, because I felt like everybody hated me,” Taylor said. “I was so traumatized by all the bullying.” In May last year, she planned out her suicide. She decided to give away all her belongings and tell friends how sorry she was. “I thought people wouldn’t care and I would be better off dead, because I felt like this was hell on Earth,” Taylor said. “I felt like I was in such a dark place, I couldn’t possibly find any happiness at all. I just felt so lonely and lost.” She’d hit rock bottom. At that point, Taylor’s parents took real action, seeking

MILLENNIUM HIGH SCHOOL SOPHOMORE TAYLOR FULLER stands on her school’s track last December. The 16-year-old, who has been a victim of bullying, often uses running to deal with tough situations and stress. help through counseling and support groups, said her father, Scott Fuller. However, finding the right counselor she can open up to and relate to has been tough. “It was devastating to see your child go through a state of depression, not wanting to get up and go to school, the inconsistencies with her friends and lack of motivation, because she’s so full of life and happy,” he said. They also took a look at what they were doing as parents, Scott said. “We were bringing her up a certain way, and what we realized was it’s not necessarily the right way,” he said. “We’re not in tune to what happens every day in a child’s life and at school. So we’ve gotten a lot more involved, really asking lots of questions and probing and talking to the teachers and school.” In the last year, Taylor has been able to dig herself out of the darkness. “I overcame it, because I realized you have to be weak to be bullied,” she said. “Nobody should be bullied at all, but they can only pull the trigger if you hand them the gun.” Now in her sophomore year, Taylor still deals with bullies, but tries not to let them bother her. She started going to church again and got closer to God. Then she joined the cross country team, finding a positive outlet for her stress. “It got my mind off of stuff and was like a coping mechanism, but not a negative one,” Taylor said. “I know the feeling when you’re at your lowest point and you just want to end it all, but that’s just the beginning.” Taylor plans to major in psychology after high school and become a suicide prevention counselor.

Nothing new While bullying in schools is nothing new, it has increased in recent years because of social media, said Bob Grey, assistant principal at Millennium. Teens hide behind apps such as Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter and Kik messaging to torment each other, Grey said. The apps are constantly changing, too, making it difficult for administrators to keep up, he said.

“The first time I heard Kik messaging was two years ago when a girl came in and said, ‘She Kik’d me three times on Sunday,’ and I said, ‘Where?’” Grey said. “She looked at me like I was an idiot.” Statistics show that about one in four youths are bullied on a regular basis, and more than 160,000 children miss school every day out of fear of being bullied, according to estimates by the National Education Association. Bullying takes many forms, ranging from name calling to cyber bullying to severe physical violence. “The unfortunate thing is there’s really no support we have from the courts on social media, other than if there’s a threat of life or schools,” Grey said. “If a kid’s saying something to another kid — freedom of speech. That’s what they hide behind.” Research also shows bullying can have lasting repercussions on everyone who is involved. The Association for Psychological Science recently found that bullies and victims are more likely to experience poverty, academic failure and job termination in their adulthood. In addition, they are likelier to commit crimes and abuse drugs and alcohol. “One of the things kids don’t realize is this is their peak of interaction with other people,” Grey said. “An average high schooler probably sees 200 to 500 kids every day. When you get away from schools, if you see 10 people a day that you really have a relationship with, that’s impressive.” Students at Millennium are encouraged to fill out a detailed statement after any bullying incident, Grey said. “You don’t get all the answers, because they don’t volunteer anything,” he said. “So you get them to write it down and you get a little more out of it. If at all possible, I try to bring all the parties together and do a mediation.” The school also holds assemblies about bullying, and talks about the topic during students’ weekly advisory class, Grey said. “I try to tell parents, high school’s not what you think it is,” he said. “I wish I could say the kids come here and all they want to do is go to class and get good grades, but it’s a social environment.”

MILLENNIUM High School students Katelyn Holt, left, and Albert Johnston rehearse their lines April 6 for the musical All Shook Up, which runs today through Saturday at the Goodyear school. Senior Allie Cruz, 17, who has been acting since elementary school, plays the role of Amy Spettigue, a “ditzy, caring” character who is head-over-heels in love with Charley Wykeham. “The role is fun to play because of Amy’s sweetness, and her love for Charley is very cute. I adore the way she stands up for herself in the end,” Allie said. “I’ve also always wanted to try to speak in an English accent, but never had the chance, so it’s exciting to actually have a show where I can use it.” Emily Toepfer can be reached at etoepfer@westvalleyview.com or on Twitter @EmilyToepfer.

We’re trying to tell some seniors to step up and take some ownership, to help these guys out.” Richardson said the inexperience of the team presents particular challenges, especially in the mental side of the game. “We’ve got to keep the whole game thing in perspective,” Richardson said. “I by Shane McOwen think with young kids being thrown into sports writer what they think are pressure situations, Tolleson’s baseball team is at a now they think the game is bigger than crossroads at the midpoint of the season. it was two years ago when they were in The Wolverines (11-9) are currently seventh grade, [when] playing was just ranked 31st, seven spots out of the fun.” Division II playoffs.

With two The Wolverines are young — the team runners aboard, Roman Velasco ripped starts three freshmen in the field — but a double down the third-base line to tie Richardson isn’t using that as an excuse, the game at 5-5. The next batter, Luis he said. Tajia, delivered a two-run single to “When you’re young as you are, right-center to put the Wolverines ahead it’s all part of the learning curve,” for good. Richardson, however, didn’t Richardson said. “I don’t want to cash like the team’s vibe for much of the in a year, just saying we’re learning for game, especially during the comeback next year.

We just have to said. identify some leaders.” “The whole The Wolverines time it was, still have plenty of ‘We’re going “We’ve got some growing time left in the season to win,’” up to do, and that’s what to make a splash in Richardson II.

GERARDO GARCIA of Youngker takes a cut at a pitch April 9 against Cathedral Prep from Erie, Penn. The Roughriders lost the game 10-0, but went 2-2 in the Wolves Classic tournament and have won four of their last 10 games after a 2-7 start.

Youngker splits 4 games at Wolves Classic Roughriders steadily improving as season wears on

“Two runs would have put us into the championship round,” Sifford said. “Little mistakes. We had a chance. We’ve lost four or five games by one run. We’re playing good baseball, I just think the youth. Once the guys figure out — the game has finally slowed down for them. Those young guys, I think they’re starting to by Casey Pritchard believe they’re varsity players now.

The week before the tournament, Youngker went 2-2.

The Roughriders are 4-5 in their last nine after starting the season 2-7. “Every game, we get better and better,” Sifford said. “From where we started and where we’re going to end up, the second half of the season we’re looking forward to, and this tournament kind of proved that.” Youngker’s biggest presence in the dugout has been Kyle Waldon. The junior is batting .500 with seven doubles, three triples, a home run and 15 RBI. He’s also logged the most innings pitched with 41.2. “Kyle is one of the best players we’ve ever had in the program,” Sifford said. “He’s athletic, he works hard, he has good discipline at home, he’s a team guy. You couldn’t ask for anything better. On the mound, he’s carried us. He’s one of the few guys that played varsity for us [last year], so he’s kind of taken the responsibility. He’s put it on him to carry the team.” Youngker responded from the tournament with a 13-2 loss to Laveen Cesar Chavez Monday. The Roughriders play at 6 p.m. today at Estrella Foothills and have seven games remaining. “The momentum was already there, kind of building, and this tournament helped,” Sifford said.

tailing off, I think everybody is getting better.”

by Casey Pritchard sports editor

Buckeye experienced mixed success at the Wolves Classic baseball tournament April 7-9 at the Goodyear Ballpark complex, but facing stiff competition proved to be valuable experience for the Hawks, coach Danny Rodriguez said. “It was big for us,” Rodriguez said. “We beat some good teams in this tournament. Our young guys, our sophomore group, is playing really well. They’re doing a great job. I think BASEBALL it was a big part for us, coming off a tough loss [April 5] and bouncing back and playing some good teams in this tournament. I’m really happy the way the kids played.” Buckeye’s April 5 loss was against Glendale Joy Christian. The Hawks lost 4-3 in eight innings, giving up a two-run, walk-off hit under darkened conditions. Joy Christian’s field does not have lights and the game went extra innings. “It was an unfortunate circumstance,” Rodriguez said. “It was two outs, ball got up in the air and our centerfielder just never saw it, it got on him and he couldn’t recover. It was a tough one because it’s an out that nine out of 10 he catches it.” As of Tuedsay morning, Joy Christian was ranked first in the Division-IV power points. Buckeye is fifth. “They’re a pretty good team,” Rodriguez said. “They threw their best at us, we matched them, eight-inning ballgame; it was a good ballgame. It’s one of those teams we could match up with late in the season, in playoffs, so, for us, it was good. We hope we can see them again.” Buckeye followed up that loss by going 3-2 in the Wolves Classic. Buckeye beat Cottonwood Mingus, Payson and Holbrook, while losing to San Tan Valley Poston Butte and Cathedral Prep from Erie, Penn. The Hawks played three one-run games in the tournament, beating Mingus 3-2 and Florence 7-6, while losing 3-2 to Poston Butte. Poston Butte wound up as the tournament runners-up. Overall, it was good experience for the Hawks, who have played a lot of relatively easy ballgames this year, Rodriguez said. “Our first eight out of nine were pretty easy, the [Laveen Cesar] Chavez game was tough, won on a home run in extra innings, then we had a string of games where it was kind of easy for us,” Rodriguez said. “But for the push for us now, yeah, [the tournament was good] because our schedule gets really tough. We have Yuma Catholic on Friday, [Glendale] Apollo as a freedom game, so we have some tough teams coming up.” Buckeye is playing in Division IV after the Arizona Interscholastic Association’s realignment this school year, so the Hawks are facing all new competition. Buckeye has won four games by 18 runs or more. “I really didn’t know what to expect,” Rodriguez said. “I got into it and I was like, ‘Wow.’ I’m glad we scheduled what we did for freedom games because it’s really going to help us down the road.” Buckeye played at Alhambra Monday, losing 5-2. At 3:45 p.m. today, the Hawks are at Surprise Paradise Honors, one of seven games they have remaining. “We’re doing good things,” Rodriguez said. “We’ve got a couple guys dinged up, some starters that are dinged up, but our pitching is pitching very well right now, and everybody that I expected to do what they needed to do is doing what they need to do, so I’m really happy in that aspect for those guys.”

Stretch run The Knights play only two games each week for the remaining three weeks of the season, which will help the pitching staff stay fresh and take some of the grind off the team as a whole, Irish said. Irish said the early part of the schedule was rough on everybody, playing so many games in a short amount of time. “That hasn’t been helpful at all this year,” Irish said. “When we play three in a row and on your day off, do you really want to grind on them?

practice] in and walk through some things. The Knights won’t be able to finish .500 due to an odd amount of games on their schedule, but can finish above that mark if they close out with a 5-1 record. If Westview can win four of its remaining six games, it would finish with the most wins since 2004. That team had Jeff Davis, who went on to play for Eastern Michigan University, and Jason Stacy, a late-round draft selection of the Philadelphia Phillies in 2005. “We’ll see what we get in the back end,” Irish said. “Ten wins is very doable. [We’ll start] by just taking care of that. “Hopefully, the community is seeing we’re putting a better product on the field and we’re developing players. I think if we continue with that aspect of it … eventually we’ll begin to earn back the respect of the neighborhood.” The Knights played Desert Edge Tuesday. The result was unavailable at press time. Westview will finish out the week Thursday at Glendale Copper Canyon.

of a sudden, we kick a ball and it was kind of like the perfect storm. Every ground ball became much bigger than it was and it kind of snowballed from there.” All told, Estrella made 21 errors in the four games, but collected 30 hits. “It was tough because we end up going 1-3, but the message to the guys was to understand how good of a defensive team we’ve been, and this week, just kind of chalk it up as an anomaly and build on what we did offensively as we get ready to go into these last couple weeks with these six power points games,” McCubbins said. The 1-3 tournament dropped Estrella’s overall record to 11-10. Before the tournament, the Wolves had won their last two power-points contests, which moved them from 38th in

Division III to 26th. The top 32 teams make the postseason. Estrella played at Northwest Christian Monday, losing 6-2. At 6 p.m. today, the Wolves host Youngker. “The power-points thing is so different this year with the new classification because there’s so many teams we don’t know anything about,” McCubbins said. “Because there are so many teams that are 5-7, 6-6, 7-5, each game, win or lose, we’re at a position where we’re not moving up one or two, it’s five or six spots.” Estrella has four games remaining after today, including a 4 p.m. contest Friday at Yuma.

Nesting owl shot out of tree in Tolleson 4 baby birds rescued from nest by Arizona Game & Fish by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

Four baby owls are getting a second chance to spread their wings after they were rescued from a nest in Tolleson when their mother was illegally shot. Last month, the Arizona Game & Fish Department’s Operation Game Thief program received a call from a resident reporting a neighbor had shot a great horned owl out of a tree. The injured bird was taken in by Liberty Wildlife, a Scottsdale-based wildlife rehabilitation center, but X-rays showed her wing fracture was too severe and she had to be euthanized. A few days later, Game & Fish biologists climbed the tree to access the nest and removed the 8-week-old babies after it was determined their father would be unable to raise four young on his own. “The male parent was attempting to care for the young, but each nestling can eat up to 15 mice a day, so it was a lot for him to keep up with,” Game & Fish Officer Lainie Antolik said. The department was also concerned the homeowner might hurt the babies since his family is afraid of the birds, Antolik said. “Apparently, this man believed that owls were evil and they had some superstitions about owls,” she said. He has been warned not to harm the male owl, which will move on once he realizes his mate and nestlings are gone, Antolik said. The owlets are being raised by a foster owl at Liberty Wildlife and should be big enough to release back into the wild in a few months once they are able to fly and hunt on their own, said Jan Miller with Liberty Wildlife. In the foster program, female birds lay unfertilized eggs, which are removed from the nests and replaced with an orphaned bird, Miller said. “They start immediately taking care of them,” she said. Since owls are a protected species, the homeowner was cited for taking wildlife without a license and during a closed season. He could also face penalties from the local justice court for the misdemeanor offense and may face civil penalties from the Arizona Game & Fish Commission, which will seek restitution for caring for the owlets, Antolik said. “It’s important to remember that it’s not just one little bird, it’s not just four little baby birds — in the

Four owlets were rescued from the nest by the Arizona Game & Fish Department and are being raised by a foster owl at Liberty Wildlife, a Scottsdale-based wildlife rehabilitation center. bigger picture, it’s important for all of us to care about this stuff and not commit these senseless acts,” she said. Operation Game Thief is a silent witness, antipoaching program that encourages the public to report any suspicious activity or knowledge about a poaching violation. A toll-free hotline, 1-800-352-0700, is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week to report wildlife violations.

Reporting parties may be eligible for a monetary reward. “If the concerned citizen hadn’t notified our Operation Game Thief program about the shooting of the female owl, we may never have known and the four young would have likely not survived,” Antolik said.
