While BASIS schools dominate a national ranking of best high schools, one campus in Tolleson continues to produce quality students. And they are from within the community. The U.S. News & World Report released its rankings of the best high schools in the country, with University High School in Tolleson sitting at No. 21. “We’re extremely excited and very proud to have gone from 36 to 21,” said Academic Dean Susan Thompson. “If you’re in the top 100, that’s the top of the game, top echelon. We’re really glad to stay within the top 50.” University High, which has ranked as high as No. 8, is located on the Tolleson Union High School campus. The data used in the rankings comes from the 2014-15 school year. U.S. News teamed up with North Carolinabased RTI International, a global nonprofit social science research firm, to rank more than 20,000 eligible high schools using a four-step process. The first step determined whether a school’s students performed better than statistically expected for students in that school’s state. The next step looked at how a school’s disadvantaged students — including black, Hispanic and low-income students — compared to the state average for leastadvantaged students. Step 3 required schools to meet or surpass a benchmark for their graduation rate. Schools only passed if their rounded graduation rate was 75 percent or greater. The 3,109 schools meeting the first three steps became eligible to be judged on collegereadiness performance using Advanced Placement test data. From there, 500 schools received gold medals and ranked via a tiebreaker based on the percentage of seniors at a school taking AP exams and the percentage of seniors who passed at least four exams. There were five Arizona BASIS schools in the Top 7. Despite the same name, unaffiliated University High School in Tucson came in at No. 15, leaving the Tolleson school the highest ranking Valley campus not under the BASIS flag. Thompson and Joseph Ortiz, director of public relations and marketing for the Tolleson Union High School District, stressed the fact the school has succeeded on a national level with students within the Tolleson community. “These are the neighborhood kids,” Thompson said. “We do have some students who come from out of district but they’re still our neighborhood children. We don’t generally have kids that travel from an affluent area.” Entrance into University High, unlike BASIS’ lottery system, involves looking at students who score proficient or above on the AzMERIT, and then write an essay on why they want to be at University High. Thompson credits the start of University (See A’s on Page 4) BA

A Goodyear man pleaded guilty May 5 for his involvement in two murders in Sun City Grand in 2016. Andrew Thomas Lauro, 25, pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary. On Feb. 9, 2016, two women, Sun City Grand resident Barbara Leslie, 70, and her friend Ruth Schwed, of Albuquerque, N.M., were shot and killed in Leslie’s home. Two men, Lauro and Montez Lavell Wright, 24, of Southfield, Andrew Lauro Mich., were found to be the suspects involved in the murders. Police arrested Lauro on Feb. 19, 2016. According to a representative from the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, Lauro will not be eligible for parole until serving at least 35.5 years in the Arizona Department of Corrections. He will be sentenced on June 5 before Judge Erin Otis, according to Maricopa County Superior Court. Wright remains in custody and awaits trial in Arizona.

Dead body found in Avondale View report

Avondale police discovered a dead body May 6 after reports of shots fired. At about 6:15 a.m., officers responded to the area of South Central Avenue and East Davis Lane. Upon arrival, they found an adult male victim with an apparent gunshot wound, according to a report. Medical personnel later pronounced him deceased. Officials identified the man as 27-year-old Julio Caesar Garcia. There are no other victims, according to police. The whereabouts or descriptions of any suspects are not known. The Avondale Criminal Investigation Bureau responded to the scene and detectives are investigating the incident.

County parks issue fire ban View report

The Maricopa County Parks and Recreation Department’s annual fire ban is in effect. This year’s ban went into effect earlier than in years past because the wet winter created a “super bloom” and thick brush. The fire ban includes the use of campfires, fire pits and charcoal grills. Gas and propane grills in designated areas are OK to use. For information, visit maricopacountyparks.net.

Correction

Accident happened earlier than reported The story “DPS strikes 13-year-old girl in Litchfield Park” on Page 4 of the May 3 West Valley View should have stated the accident happened April 25. The View regrets the error.

Buckeye police arrested a man May 7 for allegedly murdering his wife, according to a release. The incident occurred Sunday at about 11 a.m., when police received a 911 call from a man who said a person had been shot in his residence. Patrol officers responded to the man’s home in the area of 19700 West Sherman Street and found the front door open. They called inside and a male voice directed them to the master bedroom. Officers entered the room and found a woman lying face down on the bed with a single gunshot wound to the back of her head, according to the release. Officers and Buckeye Fire Department personnel attempted life-saving measures but were unsuccessful. Officials identified the woman as Jennifer Eckert, 49, of Buckeye. Police spoke with the man, identified as 49-year-old Kenneth Eckert. According to the release, Eckert would

not provide information on what happened, only that his wife had been shot. Police arrested Eckert and booked him into the Maricopa County Fourth Avenue Jail on second-degree murder charges. Eckert is being held on a $750,000 bond and will appear in court May 15. According to police, the couple moved into the city three months ago. Officers had not had any prior contact with them. The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information on the case is urged to contact the Buckeye Police Tipline at 623-349- Kenneth Eckert 6411 or bpdtips@buckeyeaz.gov.

Buckeye man accused of murder

Goodyear man pleads guilty in murder case

View report

An Avondale man died in an accident involving an ATV near Heber. Clarence Hicks, 55, was dead at the scene of the accident May 6, according to the Navajo County Sheriff’s Department. Authorities said they were called in the morning to a Forest Service road outside Heber, where Hicks had died from apparent blunt force trauma to the head. Witnesses reported a group of family and friends were camping near the area and operating off-road vehicles just off a dirt road when Hicks attempted a jump, authorities said. As Hicks launched off the jump, his ATV nosedived about 30 to 40 feet downhill, authorities said. Hicks was not wearing a helmet and was not buckled into the ATV, according to the accident report. Alcohol was not a factor in the accident, authorities said. “There are too many tragic fatal accidents involving off-road vehicles where occupants are not wearing the proper equipment,” Navajo County Sheriff K.C. Clark said in a news release.

Buckeye P.D. awarded grants View report

The Buckeye Police Department was recently awarded a $34,000 grant from the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety. The funding will go to support personnel services (overtime) and employee-related expenses to enhance DUI enforcement throughout Buckeye and the West Valley. The department was also awarded $15,920 to purchase an Intoxilyzer 8000 to help identify impaired drivers and two LIDAR radar guns for the Traffic Enforcement Unit.

A’s (From Page 1) High to the district board 10 years ago supporting the need to bring in students from the far reaches of the district. “As well as allowing a school to exist that is generally outside of the box in thinking when you start talking about comprehensive high schools,” she continued. As a result, Thompson said other schools in the district have followed University High and improved their AP programs. “In our comprehensive schools, we have a much larger group of kids that you have to service,” Thompson said. “They don’t have that availability to keep everybody following that same program of study. And that’s great. At least those kids are getting access now to all the same AP curriculum that our kids have. But they can pick and choose. Some of those kids absolutely need that variability.” Whereas at University High, students are expected to take the AP Calculus and Literature test. Thompson believes all students can learn each subject. The school offers 11 AP courses throughout a student’s four years. However, the focus at University High is on process over product, putting hard work over just being smart. “We work with the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens and we’re trying to build that executive function for students alongside learning their content area,” Thompson said. Thompson started what she calls Parents University for incoming University High students. It offers parents spring workshops on topics such as stress management, growth mindset and grit. “So before they even start as freshmen, I already know the entire freshman class of parents for next year,” she said. Thompson recalled a student who qualified for financial aid at Country Day, which requires $24,000 in tuition. But after the parent attended Parents University, Thompson said the parent wanted her child in Tolleson, calling University High “real and honest.” With 19 teachers and 524 students, the school offers an intimate learning experience while also allowing students access to everything one would expect out of a high

University High students take elective courses and participate in clubs and sports at Tolleson Union High. Teachers have tutoring every day and meet afterward with students to determine which methods work. “My teachers have to sacrifice a lot,” Thompson said. “If you’re a teacher here at U High, you’re an all-in teacher, and I have high expectations of them as well. It’s a privilege to be able to come to this school. It’s a privilege to teach at this school.” English teacher Natasha White holds tutoring from 3 to 4 p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Then she meets with students from 4 to 6 p.m., one hour each with juniors and seniors. “It’s to ensure everybody is on the same page and making sure these kids aren’t losing a skill set that they’ll need in the following year,” she said. “It’s worth it when you see what these kids do. When you hear that as seniors, they’re going to

places like Pomona on full rides, they’re going to George Washington on full rides, you realize you’re making an impact.” Last year, all 88 graduated with a postsecondary plan of community college, four-year college, military or trade school. Graduates received about $4.5 million in scholarships, Ortiz said. Moving up in the national rankings adds to White’s pride in teaching at the school. “We’re not always recognized for what we do because you see all the BASIS schools, and that’s a key title,” White said. “And you see University High and you’re like, ‘OK, I’ve heard of them,’ but BASIS, look where they’re at and then you realize we have a lot of underdog things with us.” Visit the online version of this story at westvalleyview.com for links to the U.S. News rankings methodology and list of the best high schools in the nation.

of food bank services. One of the biggest misconceptions of food banks, and first that comes to mind, is who’s able to use them. A person doesn’t have to be in dire straits to use the food bank, Wilkins said. “As a general rule, the food bank serves anybody who’s in need due to circumstances beyond their control,” Wilkins said. “It doesn’t necessarily mean everybody walking through the door that gets help is in poverty. The truth is there are circumstances that dictate it.” Wilkins identified having unexpected bills pop up, or a change in income or expenditures as reasons people get assistance from the food bank. “We can serve you if you’re low income, but we can also serve you if you’re in a situation where

Gives away food from 6 to 9 a.m. Tuesday and Thursday. A donation is requested. To see a list of locations where you can donate food, see Page 17 in today’s edition of the paper. If you donate directly to the food banks, let them know that you heard about the drive in the View so it’s counted toward this year’s total.

Stamp Out Hunger drive set for Saturday The 25th annual National Association of Letter Carriers’ Stamp Out Hunger food drive to benefit St. Mary’s Food Bank and various other Arizona food banks will take place Saturday. Mail carriers will be picking up canned food donations on their regular mail routes as part of the largest single-day food drive in the United States. People are encouraged to leave a grocery bag full of nonperishable food items by their mailboxes in the morning. The letter carrier will pick the bags up and take them to be distributed among the food banks in the state. The drive collected more than 2 million pounds of food in Arizona last year, and 1.5 billion overall across the country since its inception in 1992. The most needed items include canned fruits and vegetables, soups and meals in a can, pasta, peanut butter, tuna, rice and cereal. For information, visit helpstampouthunger.com.

Beyond food Food is obviously high on the priority list for food banks, but there’s another portion of the reach that often goes unrecognized by the community. Wilkins said having cleaning supplies and hygiene products are an important part of what they do at All Faith. “Everybody knows food stamps don’t buy non-food items, or they should know if they don’t,” Wilkins said. “If parents are already struggling to put food on the table, it’s pretty hard to do laundry soaps and other cleaning supplies.” Summer products are also in high demand. “Especially because we work as a rehydration station, we want to really look at the people who are going to be out in the sun, the homeless or whatever it might be, that we have hats for them, ChapSticks for them,” Wilkins said. “The sun can be hard on our skin. Lotions and things like that are big.” Wilkins said food banks can always use sunscreen. “Sunscreen is crazy expensive,” she said. “That’s another really helpful thing to have.” Shane McOwen can be reached at smcowen@westvalleyview.com or on Twitter @ShaneMcOwen.

Stigmas

you’ve had a bill during the month, or the kids are now home all summer long that you normally don’t have and they’re not eating meals at school, or you’re a teacher and unless you find a part-time job during the summer, you don’t have an income for two months,” Wilkins said. “We just don’t know, so we have to be prepared to work with them based on whatever their circumstances are.” Wilkins said the food bank also sees clientele who might not qualify for government help, but still need a little extra to get by. “I have a lot of seniors come to me and get on the commodities program because they make too much [for other options],” Wilkins said. “How can $525 [per month] for a single individual be too much? And they’re right, so [social service agents] refer them to us.” Because there’s no qualification process, food banks may seem prime for misuse among the public, but Wilkins said that’s absolutely not the case. “[These] are programs meant to supplement,” she said. “It’s never meant to provide a whole need. Parents that are hard pressed will go from resource to resource, not because they’re trying to check the system, it’s because they’re trying to get enough resources to make it to the next payday or next benefit. It’s very rare that we see somebody come in who likes being in a position of food insecurity or lack of finances. It just rarely happens. “It’s my 21st year doing this. I think if I’d have seen that happening, I wouldn’t be here, if that was all people were wanting, just a handout. What I see of the majority of the families that we’re working with, they really are just looking for an opportunity to be given where they can get a little bit of help getting on their feet.” The food bank stigma works the other way, too. Wilkins said many who use the food bank prefer to be as discreet as possible, especially youths. “Kids in school can be mean,” Wilkins said. “There’s that stigma of I don’t know who might see me. I know when you’re in need, you should just appreciate what you get, and they do, but you still have to put yourself in their shoes.” Often, parents will choose not to burden their children with the status of the family’s finances. “There are people who come in and have never been in that situation before, where they’ve had to use those resources, and they didn’t want to burden their children with those things,” Wilkins said. “They’ll come in during the summertime to provide those things that are kid friendly when they’re not home, to get them additional food resources.”

OUR VIEWPOINT

BEELER’S OPINION — The Columbus Dispatch

EDITORIAL

Summer break means more empty bellies Despite this little reprieve we’ve been granted with our strangely cool weather of late, summer will be here before we know it. School will be out before we know it. And those TV commercials depicting mothers gleefully skipping through stores filling their carts with colorful back-to-school supplies and sharp new school clothes will be here before we know it. Despite what those commercials would have us believe, plenty of us parents look forward to summer break. We look forward to spending more time with our children. We look forward to our children getting a break from all the stresses of school. We look forward to a suspension of all the rules and routines. But for some parents, summer break means something entirely different. It means an added bill for daycare. It means coming up with extra meals their children would have otherwise received at school. And plenty of them just can’t afford all those added expenses. They rely on food banks. But unfortunately, donations taper off in the summer months just as the demand rises. For that reason, the West Valley View launched an annual summer food drive 12 years ago. We partner with businesses all over the West Valley throughout the month of May to serve as donation drop-off points. See the ad on Page 17 to find a location near you. And when it’s all said and done, the donations get delivered to local food banks, keeping everything right here in the West Valley. While food banks need all manner of nonperishables to fill their depleted shelves, they especially need kid-friendly nonperishables this time of year. Peanut butter, cereal, granola bars, individual fruit cups and apple sauce. Things like that. Things older children can prepare for themselves while their parents are at work. Let’s all give what we can, and remember that while we’re enjoying a late-night barbecue on a weekday (no dinner time, no bed time, yippee!), plenty of West Valley families are going to bed hungry. They don’t have the luxury of looking forward to a break from the routine. They depend on the routine. 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.

Changing law for lawbreakers Editor: Has anyone articulated whats wrong with current Immigration Law? All we hear is that it needs to be changed by those who broke our immigration law and came here illegally. The change wanted is to make it LEGAL FOR THEM TO STAY...... Virgil Warden Goodyear

Wall kills public programs Editor: President Trump stated in his first budget message that he believed in “a Government that puts the needs of it’s people first.” The president then professed the need for a wall between the U.S. and Mexico that will cost 1.4 billion for the down payment. “Mexico will pay for this wall believe me”, he promised.

The president also intends to cut the budget to arts and museums and sciences that are directly funded to the states. These funds benefit small communities as well as our cities for such things as; libraries, public television, all art and museums as well as grants to organizations and private citizens. The fact is that not one border state with Mexico wants “the wall”. Why are we cutting much needed funds from public programs that benefit millions in order to fund a presidents dream? Judith Amsden Litchfield Park

Grateful for the chance to play Editor: I attend Palo Verde Elementary School. Just recently, our football season has ended. We went undefeated, 7-0, throughout our season. We also were able to win the championship game. Myself and my other teammates go the opportunity to play the championship game at the Buckeye Union High School football field. We all had a blast. It was so much fun. I am grateful for the opportunity I had to make the team and develop my football skills. I look forward to next year. Tanner Merrill Buckeye

Glad paper is around Editor: I was saddened to read of the passing of Burt Freireich in your April 5th issue. He had a great career and achieved much in life. Some 50 years ago, I had the privilege of writing a small news column in the Westside Enterprise “The Westside Window” but don’t know if he owned it then. It was so great to have an opportunity to find out about the Non Profits of that day and write about what they were doing in the community. In the same issue I read of the Southwest Literacy program which is still going after many many years, supported by Volunteer Teachers. Occasionally I read letters to the Editor who are very angry because they don’t agree with your editorial viewpoints, or think you give too much attention to the “Progressives.” I think it’s rather nice to Progress, rather than Regress to the “Good Ol’ Days” My old Dad referred to them as the “Good Ol’ Bad Ol’ Days” which seemed more appropriate. Seems that there are advantages in changes due to time. Sometimes we gain or lose, and we can debate whether life is better. The best we can do is discuss life without rancor. Anyway, I think it is very commendable that the weekly paper (See Letters on Page 8)

Letters (From Page 6) continues due to people like Burt Freireich and his son. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the paperâ&#x20AC;Ś. Wastebasket! I prefer knowing what is happening in our communities, what some people, businesses, governments are thinking and doing and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s FREE! Jean Stewart Goodyear

The blarney man Editor: In his April 19 letter, John Flynn called for sanctions on another letter writer , whom he identifies as (R A) Flynn likes initials. It leaves him wiggle room. Flynn urges the View to use editorial discretion to not print the misguided, and inaccurate comments of certain contributors like (R A ) â&#x20AC;? Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the blarney man really saying ? Since progressives , with their totalitarian ideas , have not been able to win the ideological battle for the hearts and minds of the American people , they resort to smear tactics, and intimidation in an effort to silence the opposition . This is exactly what Flynnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attempting to do. He wants to silence RA quickly and permanently; then rush back to his secure safe space ! Obviously anyone who disagrees with a progressive is a racist, misogynist, anti-semitic , a homophobic , privileged white man and probably a Nazi and needs to be silenced. Right ? Scary to think , but sadly, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what John Flynn seems to believes. The blarney man then makes

the ludicrous comment that â&#x20AC;&#x153;political correctness belongs on the back shelf . He actually denies its existence ! That statement is either totally naĂŻve or totally deceptive. Political correctness has so imposed itself on our lives, that the average person doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know what public washroom he or she is suppose to use, or if an opposite sex predator may be in there with them. Political correctness demands that transgender rights trump yours. To their credit, the West valley View hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t succumbed to political correctness. They print all letters in the order received. If they decided to silence RA, likewise they could also silence John Flynn . Kudos to the view for their impartial printing of the letters and defending everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first amendment rights.

Imagine the hardship that Assad and Isis foisted on their people. The food supplies depleted and facing starvation. We depend on the United Nations and other Mercy Corps, are they really there in time of need? The very safety of our own families and survival of our nation is worth the sacrifice of our prayers. We are in a spiritual war against the spirits of darkness like Isis and others who want us dead. They have murdered thousands of their own people. Lots need to be done, here at home and abroad. Pray that President Trump can carry it all. Do we believe Obama salted the field before leaving office? You better believe it!! Just go over his history, the IRS debacle on citizens and involvement with the sheiks. Now heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at colleges speaking about his days as a community organizer?? We need to stand with President Trump to rid ourselves of excessive taxes and regulations. An Abbot once wrote â&#x20AC;&#x153;Faith is a free act of the will, no a forced act.â&#x20AC;? You cannot force anyone to believe, nor compel it by violence.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stand with Trump

Analie Maccree Goodyear

Editor: The democrats need to stop their nonsense and get on board with the republicans to put out the best insurance policies possible, for the democrats were enablers of that mess and own it. All democrats were bought by Obama by millions of dollars to sign on the health package including three hundred million to Louisiannaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x201C; BLEEP â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Senator. They all lined their stinking pockets! Social security was raided to implement the package that wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t serve the people in its execution except to put their health under the goverments thumb. I watch the news and feel like weeping at the destruction of towns and cities in Syria and Iraq.

Dinner was disgraceful Editor: Hasan Minhaj dropped more bombs at the Correspondents Dinner than his intended target President Trump did Last week. The new found comedic Muslim and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Free Speechâ&#x20AC;? advocate was an absolute embarrassment to the likes of Bob Woodward & Carl Bernstein. The facial expressions of seasoned journalistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in attendance reflected the complete disdain that most Americanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s have for todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skewed reporting peppered

with political views. Correspondentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bent on roiling the political pot undermines the sheer fabric of our country and influences impressionable youth. Just another sad commentary on American values being dismantled. George F Massey III Litchfield Park

Misinformation a powerful tool Editor: In the 1970â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s congressional and state committees to investigate subversion in government were shut down. There have been about forty years open for infiltration into our society at all levels without fear of exposure. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happened! We have a resurgence of militant Marxism, a communist underground, Jihadists, ISIS, assorted militant America haters and those smuggled in to take up arms against us. We have a volatile underlying situation. It matters little whether you believe it or not. The stage has been set, accomplished without national media, congressional or governmental reporting or warnings. You should ask â&#x20AC;&#x201D; why? Of course, if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe it, you will not investigate to find out if it is true or not. In any case, at some point, the answer will become obvious. After decades of preparation the enemies of freedom had victory within their grasp but in the last election lost the important foothold needed to consolidate control. They took to the streets to show their anger and demonstrate the brutality which they represent. Any Administration opposed to loss of freedom (communism) is going to come under heavy attack from many levels and

sources to stop exposure of what is happening. Misinformation is a powerful weapon and can lead to surrender by mindset. Tell a lie long enough and it becomes fact in the public mind. This internal war (now) has three major targets: 1 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; nationalization of the police; 2 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; generate support for the United Nations; 3 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; destroy the Constitution. Any setback in these areas could help turn the tide. The present administration has inherited all this and therefore is considered a threat that has to be dealt with. The future is unknown. Exposure is needed or we will continue down this road. Will that happen or have we been conned again? Americans, pay attention!

Tolleson Union High School student Andres Rico had one goal in mind for the Special Olympics. To win. First, he and about 100 people from Tolleson ran through the city streets in support of Special Olympics athletes. The Law Enforcement Torch Run began April 30 and ended May 5 with the mission to raise funds and awareness for Special Olympics Arizona statewide. Participants carried seven torches around the state, culminating in the lighting of the main torch at the Special Olympics Summer Games. The torches are not lighted during the week’s runs but they all met at Raymond S. Kellis High School on May 5 to light the “Flame of Hope” during the opening ceremony. Southwest Valley cities participated in carrying the torch on May 4. The run started in Buckeye, then went to Goodyear, Avondale and Tolleson before continuing through Phoenix. “This has been law enforcement’s charity for a long time,” Tolleson Chief of Police Wayne Booher said. “We’ve supported it for years.” Joining Tolleson’s public safety officials were teachers, school administrators and about 50 students with disabilities, including Rico, who ran the 400 meters at the state Special Olympics. Earlier in the week, people in Prescott Valley, Sedona and Cottonwood carried the torch, according to Law Enforcement Torch Run Mountain and Monument Area Director Gabie Salomon. “It’s pretty chaotic because the torch runs all across the state,” Salomon, a Tolleson native, said about helping to

Depending on where the torch is, people have ran, walked, cycled or kayaked their portion of the event. Booher said he’s participated in the event for about 25 years. On May 4, he biked the city’s stretch of the run, which began on Van Buren Street at 107th

Avenue and ended at the police station near 83rd Avenue. “It’s great to see them all out here and take part in this,” Booher said. He credited Intergovernmental and Public Affairs Manager Pilar Sinawi for starting the effort to have students with disabilities participate in the run. Before she began her position with the city, police and fire officials were the main runners. Now, others join the city’s public safety officials in breaking a sweat. “I always say the torch run is synonymous for the first 100-degree day

in Arizona,” Booher said. “Last year, it was a little bit cooler but you got to roll with it. What are you going to do? It’s Arizona. At least we’re not running in 3 feet of snow.” Kelsey Hawker, a development coordinator for the Law Enforcement Torch Run, said she started volunteering with the program while she attended Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. When she graduated, Hawker refused to move back to California. “From the second I started getting to know the athletes, I was completely hooked,” she said. “Working with them has made me a better person and has inspired me to never give up when obstacles are ahead.” The program raised about $1.45 million in gross revenue in 2016. The goal for 2017 is $1.6 million. All money raised for the Law Enforcement Torch Run directly supports Special Olympics athletes in Arizona and their supporting programs. Aside from the run, the Law Enforcement Torch Run puts on events such as tip-a-cop, a polar plunge and golf tournaments. Tolleson Mayor Ana Tovar walked the event in high heels, saying she looks forward to the event. “It’s just inspiring to see so many kids on this 100-degree day, running, walking, riding a skateboard, doing whatever they can to support an awesome organization,” Tovar said. “And we have our policemen that are here that are leading the charge with the run. They’re the guardians of the flame. And definitely the guardians of our community as well, too.” Chris Caraveo can be reached at ccaraveo@westvalleyview.com.

Theater students get history lesson Play about murder of young gay man to be presented at Millennium High School by Glenn Gullickson staff writer

A West Valley high school theater group is learning about an incident from recent history as they stage a play about the reaction to the murder of a young gay man. The Laramie Project, a story set after the murder of Matthew Shepard, will be presented Friday and Saturday at Millennium High School in Goodyear. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been wanting to do something special, to tackle something that has some meaning, maybe help people,â&#x20AC;? said Kim Laguardia, who is directing a cast of 23 students. It was October 1998 when Shepard was found beaten,

unconscious and tied to a fence near Laramie, Wyo., after the 21-year-old college student had left a bar with two men who had offered him a ride. As the story gained national attention, Shepard died six days later and the murder was denounced as a hate crime because of Shepardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sexual orientation. The Laramie Project, which premiered in 2000, deals with reactions to the murder drawn from hundreds of interviews with Laramie residents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m old enough to remember when this actually happened,â&#x20AC;? Laguardia said, but she acknowledged that many of her students were introduced to the incident from almost 19 years ago through the play. The students portray more than 60 characters in the playâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s series of short scenes that cover the spectrum of opinion about the murder. View photo by Jordan Christopher Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s serious material for theater students who Laguardia said typically do lighter fare. MILLENNIUM High School students Tyler Izzo, â&#x20AC;&#x153;For this one, I was more concerned about a message left, and Michael Simonetti rehearse their roles for that was powerful that could educate people,â&#x20AC;? Laguardia the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upcoming production of The Laramie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to be able to show a play that would have Project.

Welcome to the Business Briefcase, readers! I’d like to wish everyone a Happy Mother’s Day a few days in advance. Specifically all the mothers, just to clear that up. We’re used to celebrating Mother’s Day on the second Sunday of May, but that’s not the case for much of the world. In fact, one could do a world tour of celebrating Mother’s Day, starting in Norway on the second Sunday of February and ending in Indonesia on Dec. 22. Every month except January and September has at least one day celebrating mothers across the Shane McOwen world. I would imagine those two months aren’t very popular among mothers, but that’s just a guess. Let’s get to the business news.

We’ll start with a few opening celebrations. Planet Smoothie’s opening was mentioned in the April 26 edition of the Briefcase, and is celebrating the occasion with a grand opening ribbon cutting, put on by the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce, at 11:30 a.m. Friday. The smoothie shop is in Avondale at 1573 N. Dysart Road, Suite B-2. Planet Smoothie operates on Earth hours, and is open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday. CrossFit Rave is also celebrating its grand opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 9 a.m. May 18, near the Randall McDaniel Sports Complex in Avondale, 765 N. 114th Ave. CrossFit Rave is open for business. If you want to break a substantial sweat, call 623-2661410 or visit crossfitrave.com. Last week, the Briefcase talked about the final days of construction on Coldwater Depot Phase II, 127th Avenue and Van Buren Street in Avondale. The nice folks at Avondale have filled me in that SanMar will occupy a little more than half of the newly constructed available space, 200,000 square feet, while the other 175,000

is available for lease, and is on the market. SanMar manufactures and wholesales apparel and accessories, such as T-shirts, sweatshirts, hats and bags. The company began in 1971 in a basement of a home in Seattle and has grown into eight warehouses that span every region of the United States. In Litchfield Park, Ace Hardware is set to open May 15 in the Litchfield Marketplace shopping center on the northeast corner of Litchfield and Camelback roads. Ace Hardware has more than 4,600 stores in 50 states and more than 70 countries. That’s a lot of nuts and bolts. For information, visit acehardware.com. That’s all for this week. Thanks for reading! As always, send questions, tips or comments to smcowen@westvalleyview.com or contact the Briefcase on Twitter @ShaneMcOwen. I’d like to give one last shout out to the mother and grandmothers of the Briefcase Host! Thanks for being great! Have a great week, everyone, and until next time, be well. Shane McOwen can be reached at smcowen@westvalleyview.com or on Twitter @ShaneMcOwen.

MAXIMO LAWLOR of Millennium rips into a forehand shot during the 2015 state tournament. Lawlor and Austin Todd went undefeated all season in doubles, and capped the year by winning the Division I state doubles championship April 29.

Millennium doubles team taste state glory Maximo Lawlor, Austin Todd win D-I boys title by Shane McOwen sports writer

Millennium’s Maximo Lawlor and Austin Todd completed an undefeated season in doubles tennis by winning the Division I doubles state championship April 29. Lawlor and Todd defeated Phoenix Brophy’s Trey Brown and Jack Woodrow in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4, in the final to capture the pair’s first championship in three seasons as a partnership. “We were ecstatic,” Todd said. “That was our goal when the season started. We always talked about it.” “It’s [a feeling] of just pure happiness, really,” Lawlor said. “I was kind of in shock that it finally happened. I was so happy and thankful for everything. It’s been a long three years, and I’m so happy it finally happened.” Lawlor and Todd, a junior and senior respectively, went into the doubles tournament as the Division I No. 1 seed, undefeated throughout the season. They

Lawlor, the No. 5 seed, won three matches in the tournament, and never dropped more than one game in any set up until the quarterfinals. She was disappointed in the loss, she said. “[It was] hard,” Lawlor said of the quarterfinal match. “It was windy, but it was good. It just wasn’t my day.” Lawlor was disappointed with not being able to make it to the semifinals in any of her years competing, but would remember her time with Millennium tennis as a positive experience. “It’s hard to say I did everything I wanted, because I never made it past the quarterfinals of any of the state [tournaments] I played, but I don’t think that winning was kind of everything,” Lawlor said. “I think that I made family. I’ve met some people I’m never going to lose touch with. So, through four years at Millennium, I met people I’m going to have around for the rest of my life.” Lawlor has signed on to play tennis next year at the University of Hawaii at Hilo.

The double-elimination portion of the 5A state playoffs provided Verrado with an extra opportunity, and the Lady Vipers took full advantage of that last week. Two days after losing a back-and-forth affair to Scottsdale Chaparral, Verrado answered the call against Marana Mountain View, winning 11-1 at Rose SOFTBALL Mofford Softball Complex May 4. The game was halted in the bottom of the fifth inning because of the mercy rule. “It took us a couple innings to figure out what was going on pitching wise,” Verrado coach Tee Hampton said. “She [Mountain View pitcher Zaylie Calderon] threw a decent rise ball, and we haven’t seen a rise ball in a while. A lot of the pitchers we’ve seen lately are east west, screw, curve, change, fastball, nothing up and down. We haven’t seen a pitcher like that in a while, so it just took a few innings to get caught up.” The Lady Vipers trailed 1-0 going into the bottom of the third, but erupted for nine runs to bust the game open. “I’m a strong believer that once someone gets it going, and it doesn’t matter who’s throwing, everybody starts hitting,” Hampton said. “They’re so competitive, they all want to compete, and once they see one gets on, they’re like, ‘OK, I want to get on now.’ It’s simple competition.” Hailey Raio and Bianca Worthy provided the big blows in the third inning, as each doubled with the bases loaded. “Hailey hit a ball off the left-center wall that cleared the bases, and Bianca Worthy came up and smoked one into the left corner that cleared the bases,” Hampton said. The rest was up to pitcher Reina Kelley, who allowed just five hits and one run in five innings. Kelley struck out eight. “She pitched really well,” Hampton said. We rested her and gave her the ball, go out there and take care of business, and she did. All of her pitches were doing really well.”

May 2 contest Verrado didn’t fare as well in its May 2 game against Scottsdale Chaparral. The offense was up to the test, but the Lady Vipers allowed a couple of two-out rallies to the Lady Firebirds that were the difference in an 11-9 loss. “We didn’t quite get it, but that’s just the way the game goes,” Hampton said. “So close. We go from winning 3-1 and we have two outs, and a couple things, now all of a sudden, they’re up 6-3.” Chaparral’s fourth-inning rally started with a two-out walk to Taylor Cannatelli, the ninth hitter in the Firebirds’ order. Three singles and two triples later, Verrado’s 3-1 lead had turned into a 6-3 deficit. None of the balls were hit particularly hard, but they found holes. “We put a lot on Reina,” Hampton said. “We expect a lot from her. We shouldn’t, everybody should be able to do their jobs around her to support her. It’s a team effort.” Verrado answered back with a four-run fifth inning, taking a 7-6 lead. Maddie Gaines had an RBI fielder’s choice, which was followed by a sacrifice fly to right from Kasey Jones. Reina Tsuma then chopped through the middle of the infield, which scored a pair of runs.

MADDIE GAINES of Verrado connects with a pitch during a home playoff game April 29 against Poston Butte. Gaines and the Lady Vipers stayed alive in the 5A double-elimination state tournament by beating Marana Mountain View 11-1 in five innings May 4. Chaparral took the lead back with a two-run home run by Madison Cannatelli in the sixth, making it 8-7, but the Lady Vipers got a sacrifice fly from Katelyn Acton to tie the score at 8-8 in the bottom of the sixth. In the seventh, Chaparral hurt Verrado with another two-out rally. It was a walk that again got things started, and after a double put runners on second and third, Haley Boxwell left the yard, hitting a three-run bomb to center. Verrado got one run back in the bottom of the seventh, but it wasn’t enough. The loss was Verrado’s second against Chaparral this season, as the Lady Vipers dropped a 12-8 contest to the Lady Firebirds March 28. Ironically, Verrado’s win against Mountain View, coupled with Chaparral’s loss to No. 1 Vail Cienega May 4, means the two teams met again Tuesday. The result was

unavailable at press time, but the loser was eliminated from the tournament, while the winner moved on to the semifinals at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at Rose Mofford. “I think we just go out there and compete,” Hampton said of facing Chaparral for a third time. “Every time we’ve played them, it gets more competitive, the score gets closer. I just think maybe the third time is the charm. We talked about how we had an unlucky inning the last game, that fourth inning, the ball was just not doing what we needed it to do, balls are getting hit in certain areas, bleeders, bloopers, it was painful. They put up five and we couldn’t come back from that. “Hitting wise, we hit pretty well. I think we only had three strikeouts and they had double that. Hopefully, we can get the bats going and have a little bit of luck, which never hurts.”

Tallman and Julie Vastine, assistant coach and head indoor volleyball coach, kickstarted the beach volleyball program as another opportunity for the girls to work on their skills in the spring. “We started the program because we wanted to give the girls something to do in the offseason, and we wanted to make it fun,” Tallman said. “Our whole goal was, how can we complement our indoor game with the beach game? [We wanted] to get them some conditioning, get them some training, get them some beach skills, and make sure we have a good time.” Tallman said everything worked out as they hoped, even without the success of the state playoff run. “We worked with the club coaches and managed the schedule pretty good,” Tallman said. “The goal was to not burn them out. We want them to love volleyball. [We didn’t want] to require anything more than we’re going to work hard and we’re going to have fun.” The Lady Tigers are poised for another successful run in 2018 as well. The team loses only two seniors out of a roster of 12. “Everyone else is young,” Tallman said. “We definitely have a lot of room to grow, a lot of room to adapt and learn the game. Julie and I have learned a ton this year.”

Two members of the Tolleson boys track team added state champion medals to their resume at the Division I state meet May 6 at Mesa Community College. Trey Johnson placed first in both the 100 meter dash and the long jump, while Dallas Dixon placed first in the high jump. Johnson and Dixon were two of the key components in helping Tolleson’s boys team finish 4th overall at the state meet. “I was proud of them,” Tolleson first-year coach Jason Fleming said. “We had a pretty big showing at state with the athletes. Our team showed up.”

Johnson won the 100 meters with a time of 10.94 seconds, a quarter of a second faster than runner-up Kendon Walker of Chandler. “It was a really good race for him,” Fleming said. “It [wasn’t] a PR [personal record], but Saturday was insanely windy. The wind was just blowing in their faces. Anyone TRACK PRing on Saturday was not likely, [but] to run a 10.9 with the wind in his face is insane.” Dixon was able to post a personal record in the high jump at 6 feet, 6 inches. “He went in and we knew he was ranked No. 2 in state,” Fleming said. “When I walked over and saw him hit 6-6, we were all pretty excited about that. When we found out he won, there was even more excitement.” Johnson nearly won three events at the meet, but missed out on the 110 meter hurdles by one onehundredth of a second. He was bested by Chandler’s T. J. Green, who ran a 14.15 to Johnson’s 14.16.

“He had the best time in the state for the 110 hurdles,” Fleming said. “He should have had that third [title] too, just a hundredth of a second off.” Fleming said the boys’ 4x800-meter relay team broke the school record this season in qualifying for the state meet. They ran an 8:48.76, also just one one-hundredth of a second & FIELD off Mesa Skyline for 17th place. The girls 4x800-meter relay team also qualified for state, a feat that hasn’t been accomplished in at least a decade, Fleming said. “It’s insane how fast they got,” Fleming said. “It’s basically the same girls from last year except one.” Fleming said he was proud of the entire team’s performances over the season. “It was definitely a good year,” Fleming said.

SAM CUNNINGHAM of Estrella Foothills fires a warm-up pitch May 2 at Sunrise Mountain. The Wolves lost 12-2 to the Mustangs in the opening round of the 4A state playoffs, finishing the season 19-11. Cunningham was named the Southwest Region Player of the Year.

Young Wolves eliminated in 1st round Estrella Foothills to return 8 of 9 starters in 2018 by Casey Pritchard sports editor

Estrella Foothills baseball coach Pat McCubbins didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to expect coming into a year when the Wolves had moved into a more difficult conference and had a plethora of youth, but results showed things worked out pretty well. Estrella won the 4A Southwest Region to make the state playoffs, only to lose its opening-round game 12-2 at Peoria Sunrise Mountain May 2. The game was halted in the bottom of the sixth inning because of the mercy rule. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d chalk it up to nerves,â&#x20AC;? McCubbins said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were definitely nervous, a little bit anxious, and we just struggled defensively all the way around, early.â&#x20AC;?

McCubbins a passed ball, a couple errors, all in the first three said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were moving into the 4A division, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know innings. I think the first two runs came a whole lot about a lot of teams.

to an 8-5 win, which secured the region title. “That was, really, a playoff game,” McCubbins said. “Our last two [regularseason] games were playoff games, because if we lose either one of them, we don’t get in; we don’t win a region title. “So, I felt good [May 2]. I think the difference was Sunrise had more offense than a lot of the teams we’ve been able to come back on.”

JUSTIN WILLIAMSON of Estrella Foothills connects with the ball in a home game against Buckeye April 20. Williamson was named to the 4A Southwest Region first team after leading the Wolves in average (.414), doubles (13), triples (four) and runs scored (26).

Estrella’s strong season earned 10 of its players mention on the Southwest Region’s all-region team. Sam Cunningham was the region’s Player of the Year, while Godfrey earned defensive Player of the Year. Both were on the all-region first team, along with Rob Jesionowski and Williamson. Cunningham batted .338 with 27 hits, which was the third highest total on the team. As a pitcher, he went 5-3 with a 3.96 ERA and 56 strikeouts in 53 innings. “Sam hit in the two-hole for us most of the year, and he didn’t have a lot of extra base hits, a lot of RBIs, but his job was to get on base and move runners over,” McCubbins said. “I think he probably had seven or eight bunt base hits where he was trying to move guys over. He knew what his role was. His role was to move guys over, and if he got on base, it was a bonus. As a result, he ended up having a really nice year. He had a couple of outfield assists, and pitching wise, he did a great job for us.” Godfrey played second base for the Wolves last year, but was the catcher this season to help fill a void. “He was huge,” McCubbins said. “Going into the season, we did not have a catcher we felt comfortable with at the varsity level. With Tyler’s athleticism, we made that transition and just committed to it. He struggled with it early in the year, but a lot of it was that learning curve. We

kept letting him know we trusted him and believed in him, and as the year went on, he got better and better. He blocked better, he received better and he threw out guys much more consistently as the season went on.” Godfrey batted .387 with 10 doubles, a triple and a homer. He had 22 RBI, which led the team, and scored 20 runs. Jesionowski hit .321 in just 32 plate appearances, but was 6-5 on the mound with a 3.48 ERA. He had three complete games and struck out 50 in 50.1 innings. Williamson led the team in most offensive categories, batting .414 with 13 doubles, four triples and 26 runs scored. He also had 20 RBI and stole 10 bases. Getting second-team recognition for the region were Christian McCubbins, Ryan Vanderhei and Jacob McLeod. Jake Kazanecki, Ashton Perez and Javier Vargas earned honorable mention. Estrella’s roster had just one senior, and most of the starting lineup was freshmen and sophomores. That bodes well for next year, McCubbins said. “That group of guys, if you project toward next year, basically our entire starting lineup is coming back, with the exception of Rob, so now, every one of those guys has playoff experience,” McCubbins said. The growth they showed in one season is what McCubbins is most proud of, he said. “I asked them at the beginning of the season to grow as young men, to grow as people in terms of responsibility, integrity and character, and reflect that in how they are as baseball players, and they met both of those goals,” McCubbins said. “They kept getting better as the year went on. With a group as young as they were, it would have been an easy 10, 11 games into the season — when we’re basically .500 — to accept the fact that they’re an average, .500 team, and they didn’t. We went 13-6 over the last 19 games, and I think they proved to themselves that they were much better than they actually thought going in.”

Kathy Adams has been a part of Pete’s Fish & Chips until she was able to hold a potato and a peeler. Her father, Peter M. Grant, started the fast-food restaurant 70 years ago. In 1947, after receiving a military medical discharge, Grant moved to Arizona to live in a hot and dry climate. With only $900 cash in his pocket, Grant traveled to Phoenix with his wife, Ruth. Instead of following through on his plan to become a teacher, he invested his cash into a dream he had of opening a fish and chips store. By the end of the first year he opened three more locations, which later grew into the current eight locations. The store has two East Valley locations in Mesa and Tempe. Grant saw great potential in the valley and knew that Arizona State University would be huge one day. “We all started as children and then in high school it was our summer job. Then we all went our separate ways, got married, had children and ended up working again for my dad at the different locations,” said Adams. In December of 1987, tragedy struck leaving Grant’s four girls to run his empire. He was murdered in his East Phoenix apartment at the age of 72. Adams had been working side-by-side with her father and was able to keep the business alive through what he taught her. Today Kathy Adams and her sister, Pat Foster, operate the eatery’s eight locations. Pete’s Fish & Chips serves a variety of fast-food options; including seafood, burgers, hot dogs, chicken, burritos, fresh hand-breaded onion rings and shrimp, as well as scallops, crabettes and mild white fish. All are served with their famous red sauce that is made in house. “Arizona born and raised, we have been around since 1947. So we are working on fourth generation customers,” said Adams. “We have a very simple menu. We don’t change, that’s one thing our dad instilled in us. Once we have something good and something works, don’t change it.” Adams loves welcoming new customers to Pete’s Fish & Chips whether they are fish eaters or love chicken tenders and fried burritos. “We welcome that first time customer, and we will get them hooked,” said Adams. “There is no doubt that we will get them hooked.”

Buckeye’s football team will be saying aloha to Hawaii this August. The Hawks are playing a zero week football game in Honolulu in a chance of a lifetime opportunity. “We were just looking FOOTBALL to do something that’s not happening on the west side,” Buckeye coach Kelley Moore said. “Maybe [Peoria] Centennial plays someone every once in a while, I don’t know, but it doesn’t seem like somebody on the west side of town does this, it seems like it’s always on the east side. So, this might have been an opportunity to be different. That’s all we’re trying to do, elevate our community, our school, and maybe the west side.” Fifty members of the football team will depart for Honolulu Aug. 16 and return Aug. 21. The students will miss four days of classroom instruction, but Moore has plans in place to give an educational experience to the athletes while in Hawaii. The team will visit Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona Memorial, they’ll go to the Punchbowl Crater and see the National Memorial Cemetary of the Pacific and they’ll make a trip to the Polynesian Cultural Center. “We’re going to play a football game, but what’s unique about this is what our football team, athletes and coaches, are going to be able to experience in an educational setting,” Buckeye Athletic Director Pat Witter said. “Moore is going to be working with each of the athletes in order for them to basically maintain a journal of the things they’re going to visit and see.” Darzell Smith, a senior running back and defensive back for the Hawks, said it should be a great educational experience. “They’re making us write essays, which isn’t going to be fun at the moment, but in the long term, it’s going to help us a lot in understanding Hawaii and what happened at Pearl Harbor,” Smith said. “It’s going to be a fun experience to enjoy with my teammates.” The football team Buckeye will play is Kailua High School in Kailua, Hawaii. The inspiration behind the game came from the fact that two of Moore’s assistant coaches at Buckeye, Kalani Ellis and Puni Ellis, are from that area. “It’s an opportunity for them to go home and show the home folks what they’re doing,” Moore said. “They’re so steeped in Buckeye and instrumental in what’s going on around here. They coach little kids, high school, they’re in baseball, softball, basketball, football; they’re in everything. It’s an amazing family.”

Putting the trip together Planning the game and the trip was one thing, but getting it approved, which just happened last month, was another story.

JOSEPH PEREZ, left, of Buckeye hands off to Jaiden Segundo during a home game last season. Perez and Segundo are two of the 50 Hawks football players who will be traveling to Hawaii for a football game this August. That process has been in the works for a year, Witter said. There was even talks that another West Valley school might join Buckeye. “At one point, we were talking with [Peoria] Sunrise Mountain as a possibility … for their high school, it turned out to be something they weren’t able to do,” Witter said. That’s when Buckeye went another route. “We went to the region, as well as the 4A conference and let them know what we were trying to do, which is basically, we’ve added another game,” Witter said. Buckeye will now have an 11-game schedule, with the game in Hawaii not counting toward power points. Buckeye had to get approval from the 4A conference and the Arizona Interscholastic Association’s executive board, but it passed unanimously, Witter said. “It’s an incredible thing,” Moore said. “No. 1, the boys and the coaches have been praying about this. We were believing the answer to be yes before anybody voted on anything. So, it was a great demonstration of faith in our locker room, so that’s been phenomenal. Since that has happened, now what we’re hoping is the community will get behind this and help with the promotion of this, obviously in the way of finances. We want to elevate the school and the community. It’s not just about the football team.” The fundraising process began before Buckeye got approval for the trip, otherwise it would have been extremely difficult to reach the amount it needs. The cost is $1,500 per person, so with 50 student athletes traveling, Buckeye needs

to raise $75,000. That amount covers everything, Moore said. “We had target dates for money,” Moore said. “The kids reached the first target date, or we would have canceled the thing. Now, we’re committed fully.” The fundraising activities have mostly included “nickel and dime stuff,” Moore said. “Candies, car washes, cupcakes, you name it,” Moore said. “The kids have to earn their keep.” Buckeye has also held a golf tournament, and the students have helped out at rodeos to raise money. “Whatever we can do, we’ve been doing it,” Moore said. Smith said the fundraising has been fun, and it’s been a blessing that the school and community has shown so much support. “Not many people get to go to Hawaii ever in their lifetime, so I’d like to thank Buckeye for what they’ve provided us,” Smith said. “They gave us the opportunity to raise money to be able to go to Hawaii.” As far as the game is concerned, Smith expects a difficult challenge from Kailua. Buckeye has already started preparing for next season with off-season conditioning and spring football.

“We’re preparing right now, we’ve been doing our workout plans the right way; we’re doing everything to prepare for Hawaii,” Smith said. “This year has felt so different from years past, because we haven’t looked forward to an opponent like we are facing in Hawaii. It’s going to be a challenge, a different breed of players.” For Moore, the most important part in putting this together is the opportunity its affording his student athletes. “Most of our kids may never go back to Hawaii, so this is an experience of a lifetime,” Moore said. “To see that kind of history in reality is priceless. Plus, we get to play a football game, which is amazing.” After returning from Hawaii, the Hawks have to take on Sunrise Mountain Aug. 25. That gives them little time to rest for their first power-points game. “We’re gambling, but the educational experience behind it is well worth the gamble,” Moore said.

The 9 Days a Week calendar — a listing of entertainment events such as concerts, theatrical performances, events for schools, churches, county parks and nonprofit groups — runs every issue. Events must be open to the public to be considered and generally must be held within the View’s coverage area, which is south of Northern Avenue, west of Loop 101, plus all of Tolleson, extends to Estrella on the south and Tonopah on the west.

A tragic turn Goodyear police, fire simulate DUI car wreck for high school students by Kourtney Balsan special to the View

Silence filled Millennium High Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football field as a student was driven away in a hearse May 3 during a presentation showing the dangers of driving under the influence. Goodyear police and fire alongside theater students performed a mock DUI crash involving two cars leaving prom. After the cars collided, a frantic call into the police department triggered police and fire sirens to ring with the corresponding vehicles to follow and fill the field. One student was extricated from a car and treated by firefighters and paramedics, then transported to a hospital by an Air Evac medical helicopter. Another student lay dead in front of the crash as his mother was notified and asked to identify the body. Four girls walked away with scrapes and scratches. One girl was driving under the influence, smoking drugs and drinking alcohol the night of prom. The teen driver was administered DUI tests and had a breathalyzer read .17. The audience full of seniors applauded when the impaired student was taken away in handcuffs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I caused all of this to happen,â&#x20AC;? said Katelyn Holt, 17, who played the impaired driver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was the drinker and I pressured the other people in my car to drink. I was the one who was driving everyone home from the party. I thought I was fine even though I drank alcohol and smoked weed.â&#x20AC;? Although the scene was only a performance, the details and procedures were very real, said Don Host, school resource officer at Millennium High School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to amplify the message to the kids,â&#x20AC;? Host said. The message was indeed amplified, Katelyn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got the shakes because it felt so real when all of the police cars started rolling up and when they started cutting Nick out of the car. It was scary, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad we did it,â&#x20AC;? Katelyn said. Nick Cusumano, 17, played the teen fighting for his life after being in the accident. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was surreal and powerful,â&#x20AC;? Nick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The scariest part was thinking about how people actually have to do that in real life.â&#x20AC;? He and the rest of the cast hope those who watched the presentation took it as a lesson and learned from other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mistakes so they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make the same one, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just really hope they took something from this,â&#x20AC;? Nick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They saw how it destroyed other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to the hospital, someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dead and someone is getting arrested and charged with all of that.â&#x20AC;? The mock crash was Goodyearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way of preparing the teenagers for their May 6 prom and May 23 graduation, said Lisa Kutis, Goodyear Police Department spokeswoman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our hope is that if we reach even one kid who

To see all photos from this shoot, go to www.westvalleyview.com/pictures. makes a decision based on this event not to make a bad choice to drink or do drugs and get behind the wheel of a car, then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worthwhile,â&#x20AC;? Kutis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just feel it is so important to educate these kids on what can happen. One bad decision could change their life forever and the lives of their friends or family. The community and everybody around them is impacted by one bad decision.â&#x20AC;? At the end of the presentation, Host spoke to the students reminding them that the occurrences are real and noted the Peoria car crash that happened that very morning when three teens were hospitalized and one teen was placed on life support after running a stop sign on the way to school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a very timely and unfortunate incident for us to be able to send that message to the students,â&#x20AC;? Host said. The main goal is to have youths think before they act, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consumption, getting into a car with a questionable driver, or being aware of their surroundings,

Host said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The hope is that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re deeply impacted â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that it hits them at an emotional level and they take that moment to think about the consequences of their actions,â&#x20AC;? Kutis said. Goodyearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s police and fire departments try to hold one mock DUI crash a year and rotate through Goodyear high schools, Kutis said, adding that last year they presented to Desert Edge High School, and next year, they will be presenting to Estrella Foothills High School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope this sticks with them for a long time to make them think twice about whose car they get in and about driving themselves. They need to be very careful because these accidents do happen and this is a very realistic way they could end up themselves â&#x20AC;&#x201D; injured or dying,â&#x20AC;? Host said.

Ortiz said.
