Measure would add $15M to W.V. schools right away by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

Early voting starts today on a measure that advocates say would inject a lot of much-needed money into education, but opponents argue is a quick fix that could hurt schools down the line. Proposition 123 is an education funding plan that would add $3.5 billion to K-12 public education over the next decade. The bill was signed into law Oct. 30, 2015, by Gov. Doug Ducey, but still has to be approved by voters in a special May 17 election. If it passes, schools would start to receive additional funds this fiscal year. In the West Valley, 14 school districts could see almost $15 million added to their budgets before June 30, according to estimates made last October by the Joint Legislative Budget Committee. Prop 123 was created to settle a lawsuit filed in 2010 by K-12 school districts and charter schools that claimed education wasn’t being fully funded in Arizona. The Arizona Supreme Court ruled that schools are owed $1.3 billion since the state failed to comply with an inflation funding mandate created when voters approved Proposition 301 in 2000. In order to begin properly paying schools, Ducey created Prop 123. The measure sets

Baby born on board BVFD delivers baby en route to hospital by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

Baby Kaycee Jo Wright made her grand entrance into the world two weeks early with lights and sirens blaring. The newborn couldn’t be bothered with doctors or hospitals, instead opting to be delivered at 8:19 a.m. March 31 in a moving ambulance near Buckeye Road and Jackrabbit Trail in Buckeye. Earlier that morning, first-time mother Kelsey Savory drove 27 miles to Banner University Medical Center Phoenix near 12th Street and McDowell Road because she had lower back pain. The hospital said she wasn’t in labor yet and sent the 20-year-old home. When Savory returned to her mother’s house in Buckeye at about 2 a.m., she laid on

a heating pad to ease the pain, but it started getting worse every three to five minutes, she said. Her mother, Candice Hamilton, decided to stay home from work and drive Savory to the hospital again. “I felt a lot of pressure and kept telling her I couldn’t get in the car,” Savory said. In an attempt to get her daughter to go, Hamilton threatened to call 911, but Savory thought it might actually be a good idea. “She was running back and forth from the bathroom to the front door trying to find them,” Savory said about the wait for an ambulance. Firefighters with the Buckeye Valley Fire District are no strangers to field deliveries, (See Baby on Page 2)

Accused I-10 shooter released with electronic monitoring by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

After seven months in jail, accused Interstate 10 freeway shooter Leslie Merritt Jr., 21, was released Tuesday when a judge reduced his bond to zero. He will be required to wear an electronic monitor and is due back in court May 18 for a status conference. “Based upon the written motion and material submitted pursuant to court order Leslie Merritt under seal, the court does find a material fact not presented earlier that would justify a modification of release conditions,” Judge Warren Granville ruled. Merritt has been behind bars since Sept. 18, 2015, and is charged with four of the 11 shootings reported on I-10 last fall. (See I-10 shooter on Page 5)

They made the decision to put her in the ambulance anyway, because their equipment would be within reach and it’s more sterile, Valengavich said. “It would just be a lot more controlled environment to deliver than a bathroom,” he said.

Prop 123 (From Page 1) the base level per-pupil funding to $3,600, which is an increase of $173, but is only 72 percent of what the courts mandated. If the measure passes, schools would also get $625 million of the money owed in back pay. Funds would be distributed as $50 million each year for the first five years and $75 million a year in the next five years. The plan would be partially supported by the state’s general fund, but the bulk of the money would come from the state land trust, which is the reason it needs voter approval. When Arizona gained statehood in 1912, the federal government set aside more than 9 million acres of land as an endowment to be held in a public trust. Revenue from selling or leasing the land goes into the Permanent Land Endowment Trust Fund. The money is invested and distributed to beneficiaries, mainly public education. Currently, the yearly distribution rate is 2.5 percent, but the education funding plan increases it to 6.9 percent. The trust is worth $5 billion right now, and earns money each year. The Joint Legislative Budget Committee projects it will grow by more than $1 billion in the next 10 years. If the measure passes, other institutions funded by the trust would receive $160 million through 2025. This year, state universities would get an additional $4 million; the

drive to the nearest hospital, baby Kaycee was born. The birth was the first field delivery for firefighter Joe Fontaine, who jumped into the ambulance that morning as an extra pair of hands. Valengavich and the other paramedic on duty have about 20 years of combined experience and have both delivered quite a few babies, but they let Fontaine take the lead since it was his first. “We see a lot of bad and tragic things that happen, and then there’s a lot of just mundane calls that are very routine, but to have a new life come into the world and be a part of that, it’s such a positive experience and really makes you proud to be in the profession and puts everything into perspective,” Valengavich said. Fontaine gives most of the credit to Savory, though. “She did all the work; I just caught the baby, made sure she was safe, suctioned

Arizona Pioneers’ Home, also known as the Home for Arizona Pioneers and State Hospital for Disabled Miners, would receive $3 million; and correctional facilities would get $2 million. Opponents of the measure argue the dramatic rise in the distribution rate will sharply cut into what the state land trust would otherwise be, resulting in less money going toward classrooms after 2025. They also point out Prop 123 alters the original requirements of Prop 301 by no longer making inflation adjustments for school funding automatic, allowing the state to temporarily suspend increases during periods of economic slowdown when sales tax revenue and employment each grow by less than 2 percent. Beginning in 2026, the proposition would also allow for the suspension of the inflation adjustment and a reduction in K-12 funding if education spending surpasses 49 percent of the state’s total general fund appropriations. The reduction would go into effect for the following fiscal year and be equal to that year’s inflation amount. If education spending went above 50 percent of the general fund, the state could temporarily halt inflation and reduce K-12 funding by twice that year’s inflation amount. Currently, K-12 spending makes up about 42 percent of the general fund, according to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee.

The newborn is named after Savory’s father, who died six years ago. “It’s an amazing feeling; I love it. She’s definitely a blessing,” Savory said. “She’s starting to look like her dad every day. She’s just a little sweetheart.” Emily Toepfer can be reached at etoepfer@westvalleyview.com or on Twitter @EmilyToepfer.

A Buckeye man died April 16, four days after he was attacked by a swarm of bees at his home near Jackrabbit Trail and Dunlap Road, officials said. Jerry Mora, 71, was in his backyard when thousands of bees started stinging him, said Detective Doug Matteson, a spokesman with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office. Mora, who is deathly allergic to bees, screamed out and tried running into the house, but the bees followed him. His wife, Anna, called 911 at about 3 p.m. to report the bees, which started to sting her, as well, Matteson said. “I was panicked,” Anna said. “But I knew what I had to do.” Firefighters wearing protective gear were able to get

Mora into an ambulance, but he was still covered in bees. He went into cardiac arrest, but was revived on the way to the hospital, where he was in critical condition. Doctors had to remove thousands of bees from Mora’s body, said Chief John Valenzuela with the Buckeye Valley Fire District. “Ninety to 120 bees were taken out of about a 4-inch area on his head alone,” Valenzuela added. Anna was transported to the hospital as a precautionary measure, Matteson said. Firefighters also covered the entire backyard in foam, killing most of the bees, he said.

Buckeye man killed by Vegas police by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

A Buckeye man died April 11 after he was shot by Las Vegas police following a shootout, officials said. Efren Trujillo, 22, was pronounced dead at University Medical in Las Vegas, police said. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department was dispatched at about 10 p.m. Monday to investigate reports of a shooting, police said. Officers arrived and were directed to the intersection of South Las Vegas Boulevard and East St. Louis Avenue, where they located a man suffering from apparent gunshot wounds, police said. As officers rendered aid to the victim, bystanders pointed out a possible suspect in the shooting. The man, later identified as Trujillo, ran when officers approached him, police said. They pursued Trujillo on foot through a short-term rental

complex, and he fired several rounds at officers who had taken up perimeter positions in the area, police said. The officers returned fire, striking Trujillo multiple times. He was later pronounced dead at the hospital, police said. The victim of the original shooting was also transported to UMC Trauma Center, where he is being treated and is expected to survive, police said. The officers who shot Trujillo have been identified as Officer Lukas Ferris and Officer Bryan Loy, police said. Ferris, 25, has been employed with the police department since April 2015, and Loy, 33, since May 2007, police said. They are both assigned to the Tourist Safety Division at the Downtown Area Command, police said. The officers have been placed on routine paid administrative leave pending the outcome of a review of the incident, police said.

Hay fire burning at Buckeye dairy farm by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

Firefighters with the Buckeye Valley Fire District are monitoring a hay fire that started late Monday night at a dairy farm near Broadway and Palo Verde roads, officials said. The fire has burned about 1,200 hay bales at Triple G Dairy Farm and likely started by spontaneous combustion, said Capt. Cliff Turner, a spokesman with Buckeye Valley Fire. “Once the weather starts warming up, spontaneous combustion is pretty common when the hay’s still a little

wet in the middle,” Turner said. “It starts molding and creates enough heat that it ignites itself.” The fire has been contained to one long stack located under a barn, and fire crews are monitoring it to make sure it doesn’t spread to nearby bales, Turner said. “You can’t really put them out,” he said. “Once we start putting water on them, it just gets dirtier and burns a lot longer.” It could take the fire a few days to burn out, Turner said. “The majority of it will be burned down today, and then there may be a small pile that’s smoldering for another day or two,” he said.

As he left the courtroom Tuesday morning, he looked at his family and friends, smiled and raised his cuffed fists in the air. Merritt was expected to be released that night, and was told to have no contact with any of the victims in the case. “He isn’t going anywhere,” said Jason Lamm, one of his defense attorneys. “He has every reason to be present for the proceedings.” While they can’t file a motion to dismiss the case based on facts, there could be a legal reason to do so, Lamm told reporters after the hearing. “The case has not been dismissed,” he said. “Because technically the charges are still ongoing, we’re still fighting. The fat lady hasn’t sung yet. She may have warmed up a little today, but we’re still working on our defense until it’s over and we will until the very last minute.” Merritt has vehemently denied being responsible for the Aug. 29 and 30 freeway shootings since his arrest. He was connected to the case after the Arizona Department of Public Safety got his 9mm handgun from a pawn shop and allegedly matched it to the shell casings and bullet fragments collected from the vehicles. Merritt was charged with 15 counts, including endangerment, drive-by shooting, unlawful discharge of a firearm, aggravated assault and disorderly conduct in connection with freeway shootings. Lamm told reporters he will continue fighting for his client. “Our client was branded public enemy No. 1,” he said. “He was called a domestic terrorist. He’s been in jail in solitary confinement for seven months. Our reaction? We’re thrilled.” Last month, Merritt filed a $10 million notice of claim against the state, Maricopa County, Gov. Doug Ducey and Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery, which alleged that no evidence had been produced that put Merritt at the scene of the shootings. The claim seeks to recover lost wages, legal expenses and compensation for “suffering, pain, anxiety and fear.” Merritt seeks $2.5 million from each of the four defendants.

An Avondale man was arrested April 11 for allegedly beating his teenage stepdaughter in their home near Indian School Road and 107th Avenue, officials said. Edward Wohleking, 31, faces one count of child abuse after he allegedly struck the 15-yearold girl April 10 with a leather belt, police records state. Wohleking allegedly told police he hit the girl because she was using a cell phone to contact boys and he was trying to get the password from her, records state. The girl was struck eight to 10 times on the legs and abdomen with a metal belt buckle, causing substantial bruising, records state. The victim’s mother told police the marks are going to look “excessive,” but not excessive enough for her to stop Wohleking, records state.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety is investigating after a man reported being shot at on Interstate 10 in Goodyear by a motorcycle gang, officials said. According to the man, members of the Mongol motorcycle gang fired five or six shots at his vehicle around 7:45 p.m. April 9 on I-10 near Perryville Road, DPS said. Neither the man nor his vehicle were hit, DPS said. The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office stopped a group of Mongol riders at Dysart and Indian School roads near their clubhouse, DPS said. Detectives with the DPS Gang and Immigration Intelligence Team Enforcement Mission responded to the scene to conduct an investigation, officials said. The area of the shooting was being searched for possible evidence, and witnesses were interviewed, DPS said. No additional information was available.

OUR VIEWPOINT

ENOS’ OPINION — Cagle Cartoons

EDITORIAL

Establishment reigns supreme Kudos to all of you who have voted for Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders — you have been an integral part in exposing both parties’ political underhandedness. For plenty of us, this is the first time we’ve seen a primary election drag out this far. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. This is the first time we’ve had the chance to see exactly how the election process really works, and it ain’t as democratic as we thought it was. Thanks to the outpouring of support for Trump and Sanders, both parties’ fail-safes to keep the establishment status quo have been unmasked. Hillary Clinton has secured the majority of her party’s super delegates — delegates who can vote however their hearts desire without having to bend to the will of the people — essentially making it a mathematical impossibility for Sanders to win the nod. Even if he wins the popular vote — and with a difference of only about 200 delegates (not counting the results of the April 19 New York primary, that’s when we were printing this paper you’re reading right now), that’s a real possibility — Clinton will win the nomination. Those super delegates could always change their minds but we’re betting their votes have already been bought and paid for. Which brings us to the Republicans’ fail-safe — the brokered convention. If not for you, faithful Trump supporters, John Kasich would have dropped out a long time ago, knowing full well he didn’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell. Marco Rubio probably would have dropped out sooner, too, but every delegate he took was a delegate Trump couldn’t, making it harder and harder for Trump to hit that magic number — 1,237 delegates — needed to secure the nomination outright. If the predictions are accurate, Trump can’t hit that number. The Republicans will hold a brokered convention, and after myriad back-room deals will have nominated someone other than Trump to run in the general election. That someone might not even be Ted Cruz or Kasich. That someone could be someone who hasn’t won one delegate, someone whose name has yet to appear on a ballot. As long as it’s not Trump, the GOP will have succeeded in keeping the outsider out and the establishment in. We know, the phrase “every vote counts” is starting to sound more and more oxymoronic. But if not for all the votes cast for Trump and Sanders, we wouldn’t have this front row seat to see how the proverbial sausage is made. And we wouldn’t be having this conversation about the fix being in. Our Viewpoint editorials represent the opinions of the West Valley View editorial board, which is composed of Publisher Elliott Freireich and Managing Editor Cary Hines.

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.

Obama has mystical powers Editor: Roy Azzarello accuses Obama of conspiring with a hurricane to defeat Mitt Romney. Then he says god with the help of Obama lifted his hand of protection over our nation. If I were mr. Roy Azzarello I would be very careful about what I say about man who is able to conspire with god and hurricanes. That same man’s mother knew that when she gave birth to him in Kenya he was going to be president of The U.S. so she faked a Hawaiian birth certificate. Bueford Tunstell Avondale

Bias shows through Editor: Related to Mr. John Flynn’s Letter to the Editor of April 6, 2016, I have a counterpoint to what you have based your position on “truthfulness of the

candidates for President”: please Google “politifact.com bias” for a reality check. Mr. Flynn, please consider re-reading your April 6th Letter (a review of your many past Letters to the Editor as well) and think about your OWN language and glaringly obvious biases... such as “It is troubling that one of these mean-spirited liars [Trump and Cruz] will be the Republican nominee.” Additionally, since the consistent tone and nature of your Letters are negative, I urge you to take your OWN advice to “choose...optimism”! Susan Hewitt Goodyear

Private lakes, old coots keep out Editor: George F. Marshall, and Carl Deierling, letters to the editor, are example of how we humans try to justify our actions. It’s always them or us situation, lakes are private, they cause disease, they destroy the environment. These are the usual complaints to justify killing the birds but the extreme exaggerations are the most troublesome. I walk the lakes every day, I do not hear squishing or have to wash my shoes off when I get home. Yes there is bird poop in certain places but it’s easily avoided. The two or three people that I’ve seen

riding bikes around the lake have no problem with bird poop, they do not have to wash their bikes. The banks of grass are watered with reclaimed water children do not play on them and they are not covered with bird poop. Most of the damage to the grass is from all the utility vehicles running over it and sprinklers that flood from overwatering. I’ve never had to swerve to avoid a coot in the road. That’s not to say it hasn’t happened but to give the impression the roads are covered with coots is very misleading. The one about having to wash your children before you go in the house is totally ridiculous. Poisoning is abuse. To say the birds do not suffer is false, (drowning is painful), but it allows us humans the plausibility of denial. The lakes are private is a meaningless statement, migratory birds fly and they have no boundaries. I did meet a gentleman in a wheelchair at the lakes, he was feeding the birds. I have yet to meet someone the birds made sick! Mark A. Holmes Buckeye

ZYGLIS’ OPINION — The Buffalo News

(From Page 6) coot problem in the Estrella Mountain community. It reminded me of the area I lived in, Garden Lakes in Avondale, with their fake lakes, and yes, coot problem. A nearby park, Kimberly Park at times is also infested by coots; to the point that you cannot even use the grass area due to all the droppings from the coots. If you use Sue’s analogy, the lakes should not be made to enhance the community for the humans living there, coots should have been considered first! People like Sue have the option to move because the majority of people do not like walking on sidewalks or playing with their kids or grandkids, in grass areas where there is coot droppings. A funny thing happened years back when our granddaughter was about 5, while we were at Kimberley Park to practice riding her bike, she made the comment that “all coots do is eat and poop”. She made that comment because we could not ride her bike because of all the poop in the grass and on the sidewalk. Sue, do your community and the state a favor, move back to CA., WA., OR. or wherever you came from because the majority of people dislike coot droppings! William Davis Avondale

The resurrection of America Editor: We have become a nation of political parties in search of power and control that are loyal to the party instead of the American People. They have carved out special rules and benefits while imposing the laws they pass on all American. They ARE the political elite and most have become a member of the ONE PERCENT

while in office......You work 2080 hours a year, if your lucky and they are paid $179,000 a year plus expense and special benefits......... The voting system is controlled by the parties....... Republicans can vote, Democrat’s can vote, but if your an Independent you get to watch the process play out in many states....... All American should be guaranteed the right to vote in every election. The right to vote should not be a political football.......open elections primary with the top two in a run off ...................despite the party affiliation...... We should want the best qualified not the best connected....... Virgil Warden Goodyear

View staffers are hypocrites Editor: I am glad to see that the Staff of the West Valley View understands how to survive in the economy of today. You cannot provide free advertising. Maybe you should do one of the following two things — Either increase the rates paid by Companies that wish to advertise which will cause the advertisers to do business elsewhere, or get the West Valley Cities to levy a tax on every resident whether they read the paper or not to cover the costs causing residents to rebel. What is the difference between this and what Bernie and Hillary are promising. Free College, Free Healthcare, Free everything — what the heck — WHO IS PAYING??? The Government of the United States is a business. Even though the Liberal Left continues to try to bankrupt it by driving business to other Countries and taxing hard working people for things they do not need. Pretty hypocritical of the Left Leaning Staff of the West Valley View to try to explain how a business needs to be run.

Shirkers don’t When will the deserve support world end? Editor: A friend thanked me last week for my Vietnam service. Graduating high school in 1968, there was no choice but to serve. I was in South Vietnam the next year. I got out of the military after four years but re-joined in 1984 to complete over 30 years total. I moved here almost four years ago, and love living here. There are many veterans here and I want to add my thanks for their service. But there are men who want to lead our children into battle, who shirked their own patriotic duty when it was their time. It is shameless and they do not deserve our respect nor support.

Editor: I noticed that my letter and Darrel Brownings’ letter both appeared in the same issue on 4-6-16. This is quite a coincidence. We do not know each other and we have never met, but our messages are about the same. I was a bit presumptuous to say that “I’m in Gods’ Grace.” I’m far from perfect. I once read an excerpt from Dannion Brinkleys’ autobiography. He went through a near-death experience after being struck by lightning. Some where, I read that there are nuns and priests (even teachers) who have gone to Hell. There are prostitutes and reprobates who have been allowed to go to Heaven. We (the Human Race) are not God to decide “who goes to Hell or who goes to Heaven.” Some “misguided” people have taken it upon themselves who is to be “kicked out of church.” They

I watch the TV program Sid Roths’ “It’s Supernatural.” This week his guest speaker was Rich Vera. The message given to him is that right now, we are in the End Times. There are people I used to work with who bore false witness against me (and I got fired from my job). Can I forgive them? Yes — but I gave my problems up to the Lord.

Arizona schools need help

Peggy Miller Goodyear

Editor: Arizona schools need help, but not in the way most people seem to think. Yes, funding is important, but another area needs to be considered. Why are good teachers leaving Arizona schools? Lack of respect by students, parents and administration leads the list . A veteran teacher I know has been told not to send any of her middle school students out of the classroom, not to give a grade lower than a B, and not reprimand them in any way. The one student she did remove complained to the principal and the teacher was made to apologize to the parents. When she presented materials at a level two years below her current students’ age, she was told to stop challenging them with such difficult material. At a district gathering of teachers, educators were told that parents were clients and must be given what they want so they were happy with the schools. This has resulted in chaotic classroom, out of control students, and no educational growth. Certainly funding is important. Arizona salaries are the second lowest in the nation and classrooms are extremely overcrowded. However, not treating teachers like the professionals they are, refusing to allow them classroom control, and forcing a faculty

Wake up, America! Editor: Here we are discussing COOTS ! Are you kidding? Our country is in serious trouble. A recent article in the March 30th edition of the Arizona Republic buried in the back pages 15/17 concerns our friends the Saudi’s buying up large tracts of farm land in California and Arizona. For what? To grow alfalfa, a crop with high water demands which they are shipping back to Saudi Arabia to feed their cattle. Now for the best part… through some quirk in our legal system they have first water rights to water from the Colorado River. While our politicians and other government officials tell us “They’ll Get Use to It” regarding increased local water rates the Saudi company farming OUR farm lands gets first dibs on water from the Colorado River to farm water dependent crops to send back to Saudi Arabia, while we are told to suck it up and pay higher water rates and to conserve a precious natural resource water? Yet we let a foreign government come into our country and bleed us of our limited natural resource water. I must be stupid or something because this does not make sense to me. Here’s what we should do. If a

barrel of oil costs x amount of dollars guess what? A bushel of wheat, hay, alfalfa etc. costs the exact same amount for them to import that bushel to feed their cattle. What are we thinking letting our limited natural resources be depleted by other nations with the money to buy up America? Maybe they should buy up some farm land in the local Goodyear area and set up water pumping stations to tap into the local aquifer to ship to other locations. Maybe then we will wake up and pay attention or not. Larry Carter Goodyear

To the rescue Editor: West Valley voters can sleep soundly in their beds tonite knowing that David Compton and his army of ACLU special attorneys, Dem party monitors and National Guard will be on hand in the upcoming presidential election. Who needs the Lone Ranger and Tonto or the Cisco Kid and Pancho when we have the brave Mr Compton and his trusted partner, factfinding Flynn to tell us how to think and who to vote for. Hopefully Mr Compton can lead his brave army eastward after the election and capture all the little green spacemen still running wild around Roswell New Mexico after the UFO crash in the 1940’s or the 1950’s. Possibly you could clear up that fact for me Mr. Flynn. Godspeed brave warriors!! Jim McLaughlin Buckeye

WEP reform needed Editor: I worked for the Federal government for 36 years in several Departments and agencies, mostly in the financial management area. I also worked in the private sector, doing taxes for H&R Block. When I retired, I was surprised to learn my Social Security benefit would be less per month than my colleagues and neighbors who had never worked for the Federal government. This is all because of the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) under the Social Security law. Throughout my government career, I held myself to a high standard of fairness and equity. But now in retirement, I’m

subject to a law that is anything but fair and equitable from my point of view. This provision unfairly reduces my Social Security benefits for no other reason than that I worked for the government. This inequity also affects state and local government retirees. Legislation introduced by U.S. Rep. Kevin Brady, R-TX, chairman of the House Committee on Ways and Means, would reform the WEP. The Equal Treatment of Public Servants Act, H.R. 711, recognizes the work I’ve done and the contributions I’ve made, and would adjust my Social Security benefits accordingly. Plus it would do so without costing taxpayers a nickel. Support fairness and equity now. Rodney L. Adelman Goodyear

Welcome to the Business Briefcase, everyone. Glad to have your eyes on the page! It’s obviously a great time for pollen in the Valley, as the collective population sneezes in unison. The older I get, the worse my allergies are. I’m sure science can explain it, but I’d rather they just tell me they fixed the problem. On a brighter note, entrepreneurial ambition might just be tied to the increase in the pollen level. There’s a whole lot going on around here on the business front, so much so that Briefcase Headquarters has had to cut the info in half for a second helping next week. It’s not a ploy to secure more money, like those Shane McOwen cats over in Hollywood seem to do these days. Limited space here! Let’s get to it. The fuel station going in at the northeast corner of Dysart and Thomas roads in Avondale? It’s going to be a Fry’s Fuel Center. The gas station will have seven double-sided pumps, and the convenience store will be 232 square feet. The fueling station is not to be confused with the QuikTrip slated to go in on the southeast corner of the

same intersection. It’ll certainly make things convenient for those going to or leaving from Estrella Mountain Community College. Nothing better than heading to class with a slushie. We have a couple of quick-hitters at the northwest corner of Van Buren Street and Central Avenue in Goodyear. Angel’s Diner is coming soon at 13530 W. Van Buren St., Suite A-104. The restaurant is moving from its previous location in Goodyear on Litchfield Road. Mattress Discounters is now open in the same complex as Angel’s Diner, just a bit to the west at 13550 W. Van Buren St. Next door, Scott’s Fine Furniture is opening soon. There are some boxes in the window, but temporary signage is up and looks to be ready to go. Only things missing are doors with handles, which the building was mysteriously lacking. Both Mattress Discounters and Scott’s Fine Furniture have plenty of signage out front touting the discounted and affordable merchandise. Desert Kidney Associates opened April 1 in Goodyear at 3030 N. Litchfield Road, across from Goodyear Community Park. Desert Kidney evaluates and treats, you guessed it, kidney issues from chronic kidney disease, to transplants to dialysis. The Goodyear location is the company’s 30th office or clinic in the state, and the second in the West Valley. The other is at 9169 W. Van Buren St. in Tolleson. The company’s main office is in Mesa, and all information requests run through there, including

Baseball stadiums in the West Valley hit a home run last month, both breaking records during spring training, officials said. Attendance at Goodyear Ballpark, 1933 S. Ballpark Way in Goodyear, was up 6 percent to 159,280 from last year, said Debbie Diveney, marketing and business operations coordinator for the ballpark. The ballpark, which is home to the Cleveland Indians and Cincinnati Reds, also set a new single game attendance record of 11,616 during a March 19 game between the Indians and Chicago Cubs, Diveney said. In addition, the ballpark welcomed its millionth fan — Jean Wilson of Las Vegas — during the same game. Wilson, who is a lifelong Indians fan, received a

variety of prizes. “I can’t believe it, I just can’t believe it,” Wilson said. “This is one of the greatest things that ever happened to me. Win or lose, I’m an Indians fan. I want to see them win the World Series.” Camelback Ranch-Glendale, 10710 W. Camelback Road in Phoenix, also set a new attendance record for the second year in a row. The Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago White Sox drew 245,670 fans, exceeding last year’s total of 234,360, officials said. Out of 29 games played at the ballpark, eight were for sell-out crowds, and the stadium averaged 8,471 people per game. Attendance at Dodgers games during the month totaled 155,841, and White Sox was 89,929.

Goodyear painter breaks into N.Y. art scene L.W. Shortridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surreal compositions part of gallery exhibit by Glenn Gullickson staff writer

View photo by Jordan Christopher

GOODYEAR ARTIST L.W. SHORTRIDGE stands in his personal studio alongside a painting in progress April 15 in Goodyear. Shortridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work will be on exhibit April 26 to May 17 at the Agora Gallery, located in the Chelsea Arts district in New York City.

A Goodyear artist who specializes in paintings with surreal compositions thinks he might find an audience with an exhibit of his work at a gallery in New York City. Paintings by L.W. Shortridge will be on display with work by six other artists at the Agora Gallery, a contemporary fine arts gallery in New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chelsea district. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was told over the years that New York was my marketplace,â&#x20AC;? said Shortridge, who started exploring the Big Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s art market about a year ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My work is what you might call a little niche,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It takes a gallery that really has that marketplace zoned in. I finally found one thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good fit.â&#x20AC;? Shortridge said he works with symbols and metaphors placed in unusual combinations for paintings that make simple statements. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My vision as an artist is to create intriguing and inspiring works,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I look at art, I want to be intrigued. I want to get into the work.â&#x20AC;? Six of Shortridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s works will be on display during the New York show, with 10 others featured in a projected presentation. They are among Shortridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent works in a career thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s produced scores of paintings over more than 50 years, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beginning to create a storage problem,â&#x20AC;? he quipped. Shortridge, 77, who was born in Ray and educated through high school in Phoenix, said he started painting seriously at age 20. He studied art in Southern California before moving to San Francisco, where he opened a gallery. He also had a gallery in Hawaii for eight years before moving to Goodyear in 2003. For the show titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Solitary Spaces,â&#x20AC;? which opens April 26 and runs through May 17, the Agora Gallery is

promoting an exhibit that gets into the artistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; heads with visions of abstraction and surrealism. Shortridge said the subjects of his paintings often start as a dream. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to come up,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It depends on the vision I get. I wake up in the middle of the night and do a sketch.â&#x20AC;? Shortridge said the subject matter is random, but the works can feature images as diverse as desert landscapes or nods to music or dance. Currently, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s into birds, Shortridge said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My work is revealed,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When it reveals itself, it confronts me.â&#x20AC;? After doing a sketch to scale, he does preliminary work on the computer, where he tests colors, then projects the image onto a canvass, where he paints it in oil or mixed media, Shortridge said. The process takes about 40 hours and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often working on two or three projects at the same time, he said. He tries to sketch, paint or study every day at his home studio, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Between paintings, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a period of time when things have to germinate,â&#x20AC;? he said. Shortridge, who judges art shows at schools in Goodyear and Buckeye, is a member of the West Valley Arts Council, the Arizona Art Alliance and the West Valley Art League. Shortridge said he will be represented by the Agora Gallery for a year and a half, an arrangement that will include being featured in the galleryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magazine and website. Shortridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work can be seen on his website at shortridgeart.net. Glenn Gullickson can be reached at ggullickson@westvalleyview.com.

Goodyear forms committee to save water City accepting applications for membership View report

The city of Goodyear is recruiting members to establish a water conservation committee to find ways for everyone to

use water more efficiently. The City Council approved the formation of the committee in February. Its goal will be to generate ideas to

Living well isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a luxury. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a necessity. We believe that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more to being healthy and living a vibrant life than just eating right and working out. So at The Spa, we focus

reduce outdoor water use by 1 percent each year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many homeowners use two to three times as much water as efficient management of their vegetation, household size and interior fixtures would require,â&#x20AC;? a city report states. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The majority of this excess is used inefficiently outdoors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Under provisions of the state of Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Assured Water Supply Program, Goodyear will be allowed to develop to its projected build-out density as long as it has assured water supplies for 100 years for all growth and continues to meet conservation requirements.â&#x20AC;? The committee will be composed of 11 members and two alternates selected by the City Council and applications are due by Friday. The committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendations will be brought before the council for approval. The council listened to a presentation on the committee in early February. Mark Holmes, water resources manager for Goodyear, said irrigation consumes about 29 percent of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total water use. Single family outdoor uses another 35 percent of the total water. Other categories such as commercial, industrial and construction use far less. For that reason, the committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focus will be on outdoor water use, Holmes said. Sandra Rode, water conservation specialist for Goodyear, said the

committee would look at making recommendations into the future five years and also review the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s existing water conservation plan. She said the ultimate goal of conservation is to protect the quality of life in Goodyear. As the city grows, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we are going to see more buildingsâ&#x20AC;? and less irrigation, which will create a heat island that could increase temperatures. She said it will be important for the city to have a shade plan and use trees that do not consume too much water, which is one of many such ideas the city hopes to generate through the committee. Residential rate payers will compose the majority of the membership, the report states. The remainder will have a â&#x20AC;&#x153;longterm commitment to the communityâ&#x20AC;? and own or operate a business or own land in Goodyear. The committee will meet eight to 10 times a year, as stated in the city press release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Resident water rate payers and stakeholders in the landscape industry, building/development and property management sectors will participate,â&#x20AC;? the release states.

Written by Liz Flahive, the play premiered in 2008 at the Manhattan Theatre Club and was nominated for Drama Desk and Outer Critic Circle awards for best play. Lopercio said he selected the play with a cast of 10 based on the interests of students in his theater production class. He liked the play because many of its characters are similar in age to the student actors, he said. “There’s something nice about engaging with characters who are dealing with the same things you are,” Lopercio said. Alex Montalvo, 22, of Goodyear, who plays Kenny, describes his character as a reserved, quiet kid who’s forced out into the world. “The play is about the life of a teenager in high school,” Montalvo said.

West Valley schools Beat the Odds Two West Valley schools have won gold awards and were named Beat the Odds Schools by Beat the Odds, an initiative of the Center for the Future of Arizona. WestPark Elementary in Buckeye and Westview High School in Avondale achieved the designation. Schools were measured based off of different criteria including collaboration, staff dedication, principal skill and focus, program usage and customized instruction.

with the requirement to work on the play for 50 hours during the semester, which involved meeting two or three times a week. Aiyana Gaither Battle, 18, of Avondale, who plays Kenny’s friend Kate, said her first experience preparing to go on stage was a lesson in working hard to “dive deep into this person you are becoming.” Ten other students are members of the play’s crew, handling costumes, make-up, props and sets. Antonio Hernandez, 20, of Avondale, said he designed the set around the framework of a “theatrical kitchen” that breaks apart for other scenes.

He said he can relate to some of the play’s themes since he’s a member of a blended family himself and was bullied in high school when he was overweight. Since the play is set in the present, Lopercio said there’s an immediacy to it. “These issues are still happening,” he said. The play’s 10 scenes are set at the school and in the kitchen of Kenny’s home, where tensions are high as his mother settles into a new marriage. Montalvo noted the play demonstrates that Kenny’s actions have implications for his family and friends. “The most important point to me is that your actions don’t just affect yourself, they affect everyone around you,” he said. Students started work on the production in January,

Robotics teams going to world competition 2 area schools sending youths to Kentucky by Glenn Gullickson staff writer

Robotics teams from two elementary schools in Goodyear and Avondale are advancing to a world championship after placing among the top teams in a state competition. Three teams from Centerra Mirage STEM Academy in Goodyear and two teams from Imagine Avondale will compete in the VEX World Championship today through Saturday in Louisville, Ky. At the Arizona State VEX Robotics Championship, the youths were among 36 teams from around the state that participated in skills challenges with robots they had built and programmed from kits. The world competition is expected to have teams from China, Ireland, Canada and Guam, said Corey McCoy, a secondgrade teacher who coaches the Robocops teams at Centerra Mirage. “It’s very competitive,” she said. Elizabeth Vandling, a seventh- and eighth-grade math teacher who coaches the Binary Bots teams at the Imagine Avondale charter school, also had a team in the world competition last year. “World is amazing,” she said. “It’s a competition of about 350 teams from throughout the world.” The teams compete in tests of design and programming, Vandling said. In a teamwork challenge, teams are randomly selected to collaborate, despite the fact that the youths may not speak the same language. “And yet they have to figure out how to work together,” Vandling said. The Centerra Mirage and Imagine Avondale teams belong to a West Valley league that conducts practice scrimmages, Vandling said. Vandling and McCoy said their teams meet after school twice a week or more when they are preparing for a competition. Adults guide the projects, but McCoy said the youths do all the work. “At this age, they are very tech savvy,” she said. “They take a kit that’s all parts

and make something that works.” The pupils also do research projects related to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education. “There’s lots of learning,” McCoy said. McCoy said robotics is so popular this year that she had a waiting list of pupils who wanted to participate. She hopes to open it to more pupils next year and would eventually like to teach robotics as a classroom subject. Competing in the elementary division at world competition from Centerra Mirage will be fourth-graders Serenity Foreman, Hai Huyhn, Ayla Gray and Michael Soe Myint. In the middle school division, sixthgraders Sage Foreman and Nathaniel Meyer will compete. They are among eight robotics teams at Centerra Mirage started in 2014 by McCoy. The Avondale Elementary School District has 20 robotics teams, she said. Imagine Avondale pupils going to world are eighth-graders Seath Conner and Devin Nix; seventh-graders Alec Chavarin, Andrew Nguyen, Brianna Delorme and Barbara Flores; sixthgraders Ernie Oquita, Marysa Gomez and Orrin Thomas; and fifth-grader Tiffany Nguyen. Stephanie Wash, a sixth-grade teacher, also coaches the Imagine Avondale team. The winning teams and their coaches are seeking sponsors to help finance their trip to Kentucky. Vandling said the Imagine Avondale group hopes to raise up to $10,000 through a GoFundMe campaign and fundraising events. McCoy said the trip for her pupils could cost up to $9,000. The Centerra Mirage pupils recently shared their success at a school board meeting. “They said, ‘We’re going to Kentucky and we’re going to make you proud,’” McCoy said.

Daniel Jaskoski of Avondale was named to Seattle Pacific University’s 2015 Autumn Quarter dean’s list. To be placed on the dean’s list, a student must have a 3.5 GPA or higher with at least 12 credit hours.

Verrado girls poised for state playoffs by Casey Pritchard sports editor

MACKENZIE MYERS of Verrado hits a backhand shot April 7 against La Joya. Myers and the Lady Vipers finished with a 10-1 record in the Division II, Section III standings.

Verrado’s girls tennis team booked a return trip to the state tournament for an eighth straight year. Verrado finished second in the Division II, Section III standings, compiling a 10-1 record. The top-two teams from each section got an automatic berth to state. As of Tuesday morning, the Lady Vipers were ranked 11th in powerpoints with one match remaining. That match GIRLS was Tuesday against Youngker. The result was unavailable at press time. “We’re doing very well; I’m very proud of these girls,” coach Rachel Hunter said. “I’m very proud of their hard work and dedication this season. They’re a great group of girls and they make my job easier because they love to play the game. This group of eight girls are very supportive of each other with great attitudes. They’re like a little family, so it’s great to be a part of that.” Verrado has only lost two matches

overall, one to undefeated Buckeye, 7-2, and another to Phoenix Country Day, 5-4. The Lady Vipers had beaten Phoenix Country Day the first time the teams met, Feb. 25, which was a section match. The rematch was a freedom contest, which didn’t count against Verrado in the section standings. Despite the 7-2 loss to Buckeye, Hunter said there were some hard-fought battles. “We tried our best,” Hunter said. “They definitely learned a lot from that match, and that, being TENNIS one of our first matches, they realized, hey, we need to step up this season, we’ve got some great competition within our section. We need to make sure we’re putting in the best effort at every practice.” Last week was busy for Verrado, which played three matches. After the Phoenix Country Day loss, which was April 12, the Lady Vipers responded with 8-1 wins against both Desert Edge and Agua Fria. Buckeye’s win against Phoenix Country (See Poised on Page 16)

Poised (From Page 15) Day on Monday assured the Lady Vipers of the No. 2 position in the section standings. Junior Hannah Izzo is the Lady Vipers’ No. 1 player for the second straight season. She has a great attitude and is a very hard worker, Hunter said. “She’s a very smart player, knows where to place her shots, has great technique and is very consistent; and also is a very beautiful player to watch,” Hunter said. The No. 2 player is Mackenzie Myers. The senior is in her fourth year with the team. “She’s a leader on our team, is also consistent and very beautiful with a powerful first serve,” Hunter said. “She’s also very tall with amazing reach, which helps make her great at the net.” Quinn Waln-Jenssen, a freshman, is the Lady Vipers’ No. 3 player. She moved to Verrado a few weeks before the tennis season, Hunter said. “She came out, had a very bubbly, positive personality, and she’s very competitive,” Hunter said. “She’s a wonderful addition to our varsity team. She’s very passionate about the game. She has beautiful form and beautiful ground strokes.” Peyton Vadner, a returning sophomore, is the team’s No. 4 player. She is the comedian of the bunch, Hunter said. “She knows how to keep it light off the court with her teammates, but she’s also focused and determined when she steps on the court,” Hunter said. “She’s an aggressive player who loves to take advantage of approach shots. She loves to play her game at the net, too.” Vadner represented the Lady Vipers at the individual state tournament last year in singles. This year, Vadner will play individual state in doubles with Izzo. The duo opens at 11:30 a.m. Friday at Phoenix Tennis Center against a doubles team from Glendale Apollo. Waln-Jenssen will play in the singles state tournament at 8:15 a.m. Friday. Her opponent is Estrella Foothills’ Jessica Pletl. Vadner and Izzo make up the team’s No. 1 doubles team, while Myers and Waln-Jenssen are the Lady Vipers’ No. 2 doubles team. The No. 3 team is Ayla Pehlic and Isabel Glass. Pehlic, a senior, is the No. 5 singles player. “She’s a very polite player, probably the most polite player against everybody that I’ve ever seen,” Hunter said. “She’s also very committed to the game. She is one of those that loves to play at the net, and she never gives up in her game.” Glass is a freshman. “She has a wonderful, positive attitude, and she also kind of has that humorous side to her like Peyton does, so she keeps it light at practice and in the matches,” Hunter said. Heading down the stretch, Hunter has been focusing practices on all aspects of the game, she said. “We’re taking it one day at a time,” Hunter said. “At practice, we’re concentrating on one day we’re working on baseline and ground strokes, the next day we’re working on net plays and different strategies, things like that. We’re just trying our best to be as prepared as we can at all aspects of our games.” Team state begins April 27 at the home of the higher seeds.

Talent (From Page 15) While the Owls are maximizing the roster’s talent, the smaller numbers mean some events suffer with a lack of depth. “It is a bit of a struggle when it comes to team scoring,” Scaduto said. “We don’t have many high jumpers or pole vaulters. In those more technique-work events, we’re kind

We have a couple of kids who’ve run the 200 up to the 800, from the 400 to the two mile. There’s just a wide range.” Scaduto said the senior class has really stepped up its leadership responsibilities. “We don’t have a ton of seniors, but the ones we do have really have taken the younger kids under their

wings,” Scaduto said. “It’s been really nice having the smaller team this year and having everyone get along and get to know each other. It’s a nice little nucleus that we have.” Agua Fria has two meets before the state championships begin May 4. The Owls compete Thursday in the Agua Fria Union High School District championships against Desert Edge, Millennium and Verrado at Desert Edge. The team will also compete April 27 in the Viper Last Chance meet. “It’s in the process of being on the up-and-up,” Scaduto said. “It’s nice to see.”

Bowen, who spent 11 years as the Knights’ head coach, was promoted to head coach of Arizona Christian University last week. so we’re excited about that,” Bowen said. “Basically, there’s only one position to fill, and hopefully, I’ll have that done in the next couple weeks.” The position to fill is Bowen’s old one. “There’s been a lot of interest from a lot of quality coaches, not only in the state but out of the state,” Bowen said. The bump to head coach won’t change much of the coaching philosophy at ACU. Bowen was a big time Wing-T guy at Westview. “That’s what’s funny, everyone kind of asks if we’re going to run the Wing-T, and I just kind of laugh,” Bowen said. “We’ve

had a lot of success doing what we’re doing at ACU. We’ll have a few little wrinkles along the way, but we’re still going to be extremely fast, flying all over the field in a spread-style offense. What we did last year, we were very successful at, and we’re just looking to build off of that.” Arizona Christian will return to action in August. The schedule has not yet been released.

Sturges has reached 43-4 in the triple, while Thomas’ best mark is 42-4.5 in the triple and 21-6.25 in the long.

Girls team The girls team has some outstanding marks in the long and triple jumps. Mecca Marks leads Division II in the triple at 36-10.5, a mark she set April 16 at the Valley Classic. Marissa Ellis is not far behind at 35-9.25, which is the third best jump in Division II. Ashley Fawcett and Tariana Griffin have both put up best marks of 34-8.5, which is tied for the eighth best mark in Division II. In the long jump, Fawcett leads the team at 18-1. That’s the third best mark in Division II. Ellis is at 16-8.5, Griffin at 16-5 and Marks at 14-3.5. “We’re not forcing things on the girls,” Wellbrock said. “Marissa ran the 100 last year, but to help her with her club volleyball schedule, we’re just having her jump. Tariana is doing high hurdles, but we’re really focusing her on the jumps. Same thing with Ashley. She qualified for state last year in the 100, but she’s coming off that ACL [injury] and we’re just focusing her on the jumps. We’ve seen a lot of good things happen for those girls. When you’re happy when you come to practice, smiling, laughing and enjoying yourself, good things tend to happen, and those girls have had a great year so far and we’re really excited.” Marks and Griffin both do the 100 hurdles as well. Marks’ best time is 15.51, which is the fifth fastest time in the state for Division II. Griffin has done a best of 17.77. Desert Edge hosts its next meet, which is Thursday. It’s the Agua Fria Union High School District championships.

La Joya’s boys tennis team had a breakthrough year in 2016. The Lobos went 6-7 in match play, winning more this season than the last four combined. The team’s resurgent year was partly fueled by its Nos. 1 and 2 players: Bernardo Luna and Christopher Evangelista, respectively. Both seniors were new additions to the Lobos’ roster this year. “Adding those two guys moved everyone from the year before down to where they should have been playing in the first place,” La Joya coach Roger Lefebvre said. The additions to the top allowed players to compete in roles that produced BOYS TENNIS more competitive matches, leading to the influx of victories, Lefebvre said. Luna went to another school in La Joya’s district in 2015, University High, and didn’t compete on any tennis squad. Lefebvre said he also worked to help the team realize there is strength in keeping things simple. “I joke about this, but to be honest, less is more,” Lefebvre said. “I tried to keep it as simple as possible. With our competition, if you keep the ball in play and don’t try to do too much, put it over the net and keep it between the white lines, it works. It sounds simple, but it’s true: Let the other guy make the mistake.” Lefebvre said the team was pleased with its performance during the season, but just missed out on an important milestone. “I wish we would have gotten one more to at least have a .500 season,” Lefebvre said. “We were talking about it as a team, there were three matches that we just let go, that we should have had. All in all, one game under .500 [is not bad].” La Joya will be sending a singles player and doubles team to the state tournament, which begins Saturday. Corey Vitez, the Lobos’ No. 3, will compete in singles, while Luna and Evangelista will try their hands in the doubles tournament. La Joya will have a tough task next season, as the team graduates five of its top seven players. Only juniors Kai Ngai and Anton Rude are slated to return next season. “That’ll be tough for us next year, especially being in 6A,” Lefebvre said. Both tournament matches are Saturday at Scottsdale Ranch Park and Tennis Center. Vitez’s match against Tucson Pusch Ridge’s Shawn Parks, the overall third-seed, will begin at 8:30 a.m. Friday. Luna and Evangelista play Timothy Black and Gabriel Unruh of Tucson Canyon del Oro at 11 a.m.

Tonopah Valley coming off school best 9-2 season by Shane McOwen sports writer

Tonopah Valley looked inward to fill its football head coaching vacancy, promoting defensive coordinator Dustin Johnson to the job following Nick Gehrts’ departure to Westview. Johnson will inherit a team that finished with a schoolbest record of 9-2. The ninth-seeded Phoenix finished second in the Division V, Section V standings, behind Scottsdale Christian. Tonopah Valley lost to Miami in the first round of the Division V state playoffs in 2015. Johnson served as the team’s defensive coordinator, and put his name into the ring once Gehrts was hired at Westview.

“Nick and I have always been close, and he mentioned “We have a great sense of family,” Johnson said. “They to me he was applying for the Westview job,” Johnson know I can come to them at any time. They know they said. “When he went to our administration and said it can come to me at any time. There are never any crossed was happening, right away I went to them and said I want wires or anything like that at all. We have amazing [this job]. It’s something I’ve always administrators, teachers as well, and of wanted. course, the kids.” “I went to them and asked what I had Johnson also praised the parent FOOTBALL to do. They knew that I wanted it and that involvement, saying it has been, “Twenty we were pretty much going to take that times as good as we’ve had in the past.” route.” “Out of nowhere, we’ve got a tremendous Johnson said it’s been a whirlwind since being named amount of involvement,” Johnson said. “That’s going to head coach, but gave credit to his assistant coaches for be huge for us.” helping get things in order and keeping them that way. Johnson said he can’t wait to get the spring and “All that is coming fast,” Johnson said. “Spring ball is summer programs up and running. coming fast, summer is coming fast. I have great coaches “I’m excited to get some of these kids back,” he said. who have been tremendous in helping me get all the “We’re really excited.” ducks in a row. I’m so blessed to have them.” Johnson said everyone at the school has been nothing Shane McOwen can be reached at but supportive of him in the new role. smcowen@westvalleyview.com.

Agua Fria softball last made the postseason in 2012. Four years and four coaches later, the Lady Owls are knocking on the door again, finding success and stability in 2016. Agua Fria is 14-9, but has managed a 9-4 record in power-points games. The Lady Owls are fifth in the Division III, Section IV standings at 5-2. “For the most part, we’re going out there [just] doing what we do,” Agua Fria SOFTBALL coach Javier Cabrera said. “We’ve worked really hard to this point. As a coach, I’m really proud of them. They’ve really stepped up and have turned a lot of heads. Before, we weren’t on the map so much. Now, [people] see what direction Agua Fria softball is heading.” Agua Fria is sitting comfortably in the playoff zone, ranked 20th. The top 32 teams make the playoffs in Division III. Cabrera said the girls’ work ethic and focus is what’s driving this season’s good form. “It’s them wanting to learn, trying to get better and into the playoffs, and go far in the playoffs,” Cabrera said. “Every game, I tell the girls they control their effort and attitude. I always tell them to give 110 percent, because at the end of the game, it’s the extra 10 percent that everybody remembers. Every game, they bring everything to the table.” Agua Fria seems to be peaking at a most opportune time. The Lady Owls have won five of their last six, including three by run rule. “Every team has bad moments, but for the most part, it’s been nothing but a successful year for us,” Cabrera said. “We’re looking to go far.”

Team leadership One of the main reasons for Agua Fria’s success is the leadership from three of its four-year seniors, Cabrera said. Miranda Magallanez, Natalie Cammilleri and Jackie Osorio have shouldered that responsibility, and it’s paid off in spades. “All the girls listen well to them and thrive on their desire to get better and try to go far,” Cabrera said. “In all, that core group has stepped up, and everyone has jumped on with them and understands what’s at stake.” All three seniors have paced the Owls in the field as well. Magallanez has served as the team’s ace pitcher this season. “She’s had a few great games where they haven’t scored any runs,” Cabrera said. Junior Destinee Cabrera and freshman Nicole Tyler have also contributed much to the offense, Cabrera said. “Everybody has been pretty consistent hitting the ball, and the defense has done really well,” Cabrera said. Cabrera praised his infield, especially the left-side combination of Destinee Cabrera and Ari Arredondo at shortstop and third base, respectively. “They’re pretty quick and cover a lot of ground,” Cabrera said. “If we can keep the ball on the ground, we end up successful.” As the regular season comes to an end, a main concern

KASSIE SIMMONS of Agua Fria makes a throw to first base March 11 against La Joya. Simmons and the Lady Owls have positioned themselves inside the playoff hunt with one week remaining in the regular season. is keeping the girls healthy, Cabrera said. “We’ve had a few girls struggle with some soreness in their arms,” Cabrera said. “We have to make sure we give them some time to rest, to rest the arms.” The Lady Owls’ depth works as a contingency plan in case any rest is needed before the playoffs. “We have girls who can play several different positions, so that frees us up when some of the girls [need time off],” Cabrera said. “It makes a really big difference when we get a jump on a team early, because it allows me to get some of the girls to get rest. With the other girls stepping up, it works out pretty well.” The Lady Owls are still in contention for a top-three finish in Division III, Section IV. Agua Fria entered its game against Prescott Valley Bradshaw Mountain April 16 trailing three teams in the standings: Glendale Apollo, Phoenix Thunderbird and Bradshaw Mountain. The Lady Owls beat Thunderbird earlier this season, but lost big to Bradshaw Mountain, 19-0. Agua Fria will face Apollo in the second-to-last regular season game April 25. Cabrera said he knew his team was for real after

winning the regular season Thunderbird game 5-4. “That was probably the most exciting game we’ve had to this point,” Cabrera said. “Thunderbird is a pretty decent team. Once we beat them in a close game, never giving up, I knew we had something good going on. Since then, [it’s been] all uphill.” Agua Fria played its final freedom game of the season Monday against Estrella Foothills, winning 3-2. The Lady Wolves were the No. 5 seed in Division III entering the game. Agua Fria faces Phoenix Northwest Christian at 6 p.m. today at home, and will wrap up its week against Phoenix Barry Goldwater Thursday. “Like I told them, when they come out to play, they’re unbeatable,” Cabrera said. “They know exactly what they’re up against, what it takes to get to the next level and everybody is 100 percent on board.” Shane McOwen can be reached at smcowen@westvalleyview.com or on Twitter @ShaneMcOwen.

Jerry Lee Mora

Our deeply beloved Bryan passed away on April 3, and while our profound loss cannot be measured, we are comforted knowing that he is in Heaven. Bryan was an Arizona native and 4th generation farmer. He loved the outdoors, the ocean, swimming, playing tennis and golf, riding quads, snowboarding, water skiing, studying astronomy, and traveling around the world. One of Bryan’s favorite places in the world was Mount Pilatus in the Swiss Alps and one of his best travel experiences was celebrating New Year’s Eve on the Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia. Bryan also had tremendous faith and heart-felt admiration of God’s creation of our beautiful earth. He felt the closest to God at the Smith Family Cabin at Bear Flat. Bryan graduated from the University of Arizona (B.S. Regional Development & Environmental Science) and was a member of the Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity. At Saguaro High School he was a popular student and competitive athlete, and was on the student council and the swim, track, tennis, and basketball teams. Some of his career highlights including running a large alfalfa/hay operation at Discovery West Ranches where he became Àuent in Spanish and enjoyed working side by side with the local farm hands in Goodyear and Buckeye. He also worked at Barkley Seed Co., and most recently loved his new job and colleagues at Scottsdale Medical Imaging. Bryan was fortunate to be surrounded by many loving family members and friends. He is survived by his parents Terry and Dave Watson and Terry and Timothy L. Smith; siblings Stafford (Kari), Chad, Dustin, and Brooke; grandparents Stanley Smith, Dorothy Lorbeer, and Barbara Watson; nieces Stella and Sadie and nephew Brody; aunts, uncles and cousins; and the love of his life, ¿ance Annie Michele. A Celebration of Bryan’s Life is planned for 11:00am, Saturday, April 23 in the sanctuary at Valley Presbyterian Church, 6947 E. McDonald Dr., Paradise Valley. In lieu of Àowers, memorial gifts would be appreciated to The Church at Litch¿eld Park (300 N. Old Litch¿eld Rd., Litch¿eld Park, AZ 85340), The Valley Presbyterian Deacon’s Fund (6947 E. McDonald Dr., Paradise Valley, AZ 85253), and The River Source (108 E. 2nd Ave., Mesa, AZ 85210).

IRS warns of potential scams The Internal Revenue Service is warning of a new scam where scammers will call and claim to be verifying information of tax returns. The scammers will then attempt to get sensitive information, such as Social Security numbers. The IRS will never call to demand immediate payment over the phone, nor will the agency call about taxes owed without first having mailed several bills. It will never call or email to verify identity by asking for personal and financial information. In addition, the agency will not demand taxes without giving the opportunity to question or appeal the amount it says is owed. Nor will the IRS require one to use a specific payment method for taxes, such as a prepaid debit card. If anyone believes a scammer has called, he should hang up immediately and call 800-366-4484 to speak to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration.

Chicken product recalls • Nestle USA Inc. is recalling approximately 267,024 pounds of chicken pizza products and chicken lasagna products.

APS warns customers about phone scam Arizona Public Service Co. has issued a warning for customers to be on alert for a phone scam. The scam involves people pretending to be APS employees calling residential houses and small businesses and threatening to disconnect electric services unless an outstanding balance is paid. The scammers are using a phone system that causes the caller ID to be seen as APS. The victims are then instructed to call a toll-free number to pay the bill. The false phone number sounds like the actual APS Customer Care Center. APS gives several tips on avoiding scams: • Anyone with concerns over the validity of an email, website or person claiming to represent APS can call the APS Customer Care Center at 602-371-7171. • Credit card information should never be shared with an unverified source. • Customers who pay on the APS website at aps.com will be directed to the KUBRA EZ-Pay website.

Wildflower season coming to a close by Jack Hines III special to the view

Wildflower season is drawing toward a conclusion, but that doesn’t mean the trails will be devoid of color and life. “The saguaros are just starting to bud and bloom, and the various types of cholla are blooming,” said Jessica Bland, interpretive ranger for White Tank Mountain Regional Park. Cactus flowers are blooming throughout the West Valley, and several regional park trails offer terrific views of the cholla and saguaro flowers, Bland said. “The wildflower season is almost over, with the majority of blooms being cactus blooms,” she said. The park, at 20304 W. White Tank Mountain Road in Waddell, offers a large number of trails to observe flowers, along with plenty of opportunities for pictures. The White Tank trails are open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Visitors are encouraged to take a plant book if you have one and a camera.

Other parks, including Estrella Mountain Regional Park at 14805 W. Vineyard Ave. in Goodyear, offer vistas of flowers. Estrella Mountain is open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. All of the Maricopa County regional parks have an entrance fee of $6 per normal passenger vehicle. Other vehicles and methods of entry have different prices as follows: • Walking/bike/equestrian — $2 • Motorized watercraft — $4 • Non-motorized watercraft — $2 • School bus — $15 • Commercial bus for more than 30 passengers — $55 • Commercial passenger van for 10 to 29 passengers — $25 The parks also offer annual passes and discounted coupon books. For information on the parks, visit www.maricopacountyparks.net. Jack Hines can be reached at jhines@westvalleyview.com.
