Stamp Out Hunger

After widespread outrage over the lack of polling places in the county for the last election, cities in the West Valley will have four additional locations for voters to cast their ballots in next week’s special election on two propositions. There will be 11 polling places in the region for the May 17 election, up from seven for the March vote, which got national attention when voters waited hours to cast ballots in the Arizona Presidential Preference Election. This time around, voters will decide Proposition 123, a measure that would add $3.5 billion to K-12 public education funding over the next decade, and Proposition 124, which reforms Arizona police and fire pension funds. For next week’s vote, Maricopa County election officials added two polling places in Avondale at the First Baptist Church Garden Lakes and First Southern Baptist Church. Two polling places will also be added in Buckeye, in addition to another location in the city that served as a polling place in March. The March election was conducted without a voting location with an Avondale postal address, although the polling place at Litchfield Park First Baptist Church is within Avondale’s borders. That church will also serve as a polling place for next week’s election, as well as two locations in Goodyear, one in Tolleson, one in Tonopah and one in Waddell that were used in the earlier election. They are among 116 polling places in Maricopa County for the election, almost double the number of voting centers that were open in March’s election. Avondale City Councilman Lorenzo Sierra, who called on the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate how polling places were determined in the last election, said most of the problems in southwest Avondale have been remedied with the additional polling places. But Sierra said he would like to see better access for voters in the Cashion neighborhood. Maricopa County Supervisor Steve Gallardo, whose District 5 covers much of the region, has been an outspoken critic after the last election and voted against the polling place plan for next week’s election when it was presented to the County Board. Gallardo said the county lacks a standard for determining how many polling places there should be and where they should be located. “How do we know how many polling places there should be in Avondale?” Gallardo asked. He said election officials should reform the process by seeking local input before establishing voting sites. “The people of Avondale know their (See Polling on Page 5)

Pumps at a QuikTrip in Buckeye were shut down May 5 after diesel fuel was mistakenly put into the regular unleaded tanks, but officials won’t say how long it took for the mix-up to be identified. The gas station, 1850 S. Miller Road, reportedly reopened the next day, and QT division manager Gary Mootz said the company is taking care of customers who were affected. However, he refused to release the time when the mix-up occurred and when the pumps were shut down. “What do you need to know this for?” Mootz asked when he returned the West Valley View’s phone call after six hours. “We’ve already released that information and it’s been on the news. What I’ll tell you is the carrier put the wrong product in the wrong tanks and we immediately shut down the store when we found out.” Before the station was closed, Kelly Armbrister filled up her car with what she thought was unleaded gasoline, but she later broke down during rush-hour traffic and her vehicle had to be towed to a mechanic. “I’m fortunate enough to have more than one car, but what about all the people that don’t realize this has even happened yet?” she said. While the mix-up likely won’t damage a vehicle’s engine, it could create a hassle for drivers, said Bill Churchill, a master technician at McFall Tire & Auto in

Buckeye men arrested in burglary case View report
Three Buckeye men were arrested in connection to multiple burglaries of businesses in the city’s downtown area, officials said.

During the course of the investigation, it was determined that John Rodriguez, 22, Jesus Sapien, 18, and Jesus Tovar Jr., 18, allegedly committed the burglaries, police said. All three allegedly admitted to their involvement, and multiple items were Jesus Tovar Sapien recovered, police said. They were booked into Maricopa County Fourth Avenue Jail and face numerous burglary and theft charges.

A Buckeye man was arrested after allegedly attempting to run over multiple people with his car at a home near Rainbow Valley and Riggs roads, court records state. William Cahill, 43, faces multiple charges, including aggravated assault, theft and disorderly conduct, records state. Deputies with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office responded to a 911 call at about 11 p.m. May 1 in reference to a man trying to run someone over in front of a house in Buckeye, records state. After Cahill allegedly drove straight toward one of the people, William Cahill the man grabbed a shotgun from a nearby truck bed and fired two warning shots into the air, telling Cahill to leave, records state. He allegedly continued driving around the property at a high rate of speed until a second person fired the shotgun at his front passenger door, striking the vehicle, records state. Cahill drove away toward his house, where his vehicle was later located by deputies, records state. During a recorded conversation with one of the victims, Cahill allegedly threatened to return and kill everyone because his car was shot at, records state. Cahill reportedly has a history of domestic violence. He allegedly attacked one of the victims in March and then set fire to her vehicle, records state. A warrant was issued for his arrest days before the May 1 incident after he allegedly violated his probation and ran from police to avoid jail, records state. Cahill was arrested May 2 at his home by the Sheriff’s Office SWAT Division, records state. He denied attempting to hit the victims with his car and allegedly said if he wanted to run someone over, then he would. He was previously incarcerated for the same offense, records state.

Goodyear. “Diesel fuel is a lot thicker and not as flammable as regular gas, so a regular gas engine will not run it,” Churchill said. “You’ll probably end up having to drain the tank, do some fuel injection cleaner and possibly replace spark plugs.” The cost of repairs depends on the type of vehicle, Churchill said. “Some vehicles are harder to pull tanks out than others; some vehicles have drain plugs on the fuel tanks, and some don’t,” he said. Max Sparkman is also among those impacted by the mistake, because his daughter’s car broke down and had to be towed. “They’re gonna send the vehicle to the dealership to have it taken care of and told us they will cover for a rental car,” he said. “Very upsetting. I mean, my daughter works in north Phoenix and we have to worry about getting her back and forth to work and everything else.” He said QT is going to reimburse them for the repairs, but he’ll have to cover the costs up front. Drivers who were affected can call QT at 480-4466300.

(From Page 1) community better than the county recorder,� he said. Avondale Mayor Kenn Weise said the county did not contact the city about establishing additional polling places, but went back to two locations that had served as voting centers in previous elections. While he expects fewer crowds at next week’s election, Weise said he continued to be concerned about the election process when it was revealed that there was an error in the early ballot’s Spanish translation. He said he will be at the polls next week to see how things are managed. The county agreed to allow Avondale to collect early ballots this week at City Hall, Weise said. But the county had restrictions, including requiring that the ballot box be transported nightly to the recorder’s office by two people representing opposing political parties. Ballots may be dropped off from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. through Thursday in the lobby of City Hall, 11465 Civic Center Drive, Avondale. Today is the last day for voters on the Permanent Early Voters List to mail ballots so that they arrive in time to be counted. Early ballots that weren’t mailed back in time may be dropped off at any polling place on election day. It’s too late to register to vote in next week’s election, but those who aren’t registered can take steps to vote in two more elections scheduled this year. Aug. 1 is the deadline to register to vote in the Aug. 30 primary election, which will narrow the field of candidates for Democrats and Republicans running for county offices, the state Legislature and the U.S. Senate and House. The ballot will also include city council races in many cities. Oct. 10 is the registration deadline for the Nov. 8 general election. Voters who want to avoid the polling places may get ballots by mail by applying to be on the Permanent Early Voters List. Ballots are automatically mailed to voters on the list about 27 days before an election. To apply for the early voting list or for

necessary nutrition, and can often lead to health issues, even at an early age, Wilkins said. “I think we deal with more cases of early age diabetes now because of eating so many manufactured foods, [food] processed with hormones and stuff,� Wilkins said.
Supplement Food banks don’t have resources to provide families with the entirety of their weekly needs, but the nonprofits do their best to provide supplemental options, Wilkins said. “We know we can’t provide everyone with a week’s worth of groceries; that’s not our intent,� she said. “We want to give a product that’s going to supplement their food sources with what they have at home.� Items such as corn or oat flakes and whole-grain rice can be put to good use in the donation boxes, Wilkins said. “Even breakfast bars are good, ones with a good oat coating, things like that,� she said. “Things that can provide a halfway decent breakfast meal without being loaded with all the sugars.� Wilkins said it’s important to the food banks to try to get items that will boost nutrition, because the children who benefit from the donations need everything they can get during their developmental stages. “We know people who are food insecure, who are working with food stamps, they’re going to try to stretch that to things that aren’t going to be 100 percent of your daily nutritional [needs],� Wilkins said. “That makes us know when we hand these boxes over, we’re helping to balance that diet and help with those growing minds and bodies. “Zero to [age] 5, that’s when so much development is occurring in the brain. Nutrition is vital to get that started.�

OUR VIEWPOINT
COLE’S OPINION — The Scranton Times-Tribune
EDITORIAL
Break from school shouldn’t include break from meals School will soon be out for summer and while some children will sleep in, spend countless days in the pool and go on vacation, others will go to sleep hungry, wondering if that will be their fate for the entire break. These children are a big part of why we started a summer food drive 11 years ago. Donations tend to whither in the summer, which is when many families need them most. Many families rely on the free or reduced lunch program throughout the school year to ensure their children get breakfast and lunch. They also rely on the school to look after their young children, who would otherwise require costly childcare that eats into the grocery budget, while they’re at work. These are the families who look to summer not as a break for their children, but as a large hurdle to get over before school starts back up in the fall. Cassie Wilkins, director of All Faith Community Services Food Banks, which has locations in Buckeye and Goodyear, is soliciting child-friendly food donations such as individually packaged granola bars and fruit cups that are easy for children to open and eat without the help of an adult. She’s also requesting sunscreen donations for children who walk back and forth to summer food program locations. The summer food program starts up shortly after the summer break starts, but many sites only offer breakfast and lunch and are only open on weekdays. On top of that, many children don’t live within walking distance of a site. Food banks are essential to filling these gaps in their diets. Several businesses throughout the West Valley have partnered with us to serve as drop-off locations to make it as easy as possible for donors. A list of locations can be found on Page 21. People can also donate directly to the food banks. See the box on Page 5 for a listing. All donations stay in the West Valley. That was something that was really important to us when we began this endeavor back in 2006. We wanted our efforts to benefit those living in our own backyard, which is why we deliver the donations directly to our West Valley food banks and not to some central outfit to be dispersed throughout the entire Valley. The drive runs through the end of May, which gives us exactly three more weeks to make this the most successful one yet. Please donate if you can. Because summer break should not be synonymous with skipped meals.

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
L
etters to the editor are published without any editing. Any errors in spelling, punctuation or grammar are those of the author. Two online reader polls have indicated that a majority of View readers prefer that the letters not be edited.
What can 1 person do? Editor: Too often people think, “I’m only one person, what can I do!” This is wrong thinking. Politics is a lot of “One Persons” seeing the same answer and voting for the right one person! Among the many classes I taught over the years were Government, American History and Arizona History. Unfortunately many of my fellow teachers were extremely liberal. Sadly, I was also for my first six years out of A.S.U.! Wisdom comes more with age and experience. So, let us look with “Wisdom” at the main five candidates running for President. Bernie Sanders believes, he is a Socialist. We don’t live in a Socialist country, I don’t think we want one. Mrs. Clinton broke the “rules” of her office. She also lied about other matters. Do we want a person in as President that does follow the “Laws” and
also lies! Donald Trump maybe a business man worth a billion dollars, but does that make a good President! All I have heard from him (on T.V.) is someone that would be an embarrassment to have around me, let alone to lead a nation! John Kasich entered the campaign late. If he had been serious about wanting to be President, why didn’t he enter earlier? Ted Cruz knows all the rules. He knows Our nations Constitution. Obviously he knows more about how a Presidential campaign works than Donald Trump. I have a brother and a sister voting for Trump. I’m voting for Ted! Bernard Oviatt Salome
Atta boy, Gordie Editor: Regarding Gordon Posner’s letter in the April 27 issue entitled “ Roy get over yourself “ I can only reply atta boy Gordie, atta boy ! I was really worried as to whether or not my letters to the View on important political topics were still effective, since I had not been the recipient of Gordon Posner’s usual array of quips, tidbits and snippets for a long time. The thing is that if you are writing effective Conservative
letters to the View you will get flack. Thank you for your letter of acknowledgment Gordon. So why has Posner’s been writing attack letters for years upon years to this newspaper? Probably because the sun rises in the East, sets in the West , he is retired and needs something to do with his time. Added to that, he is liberal he is from New York and he is an attorney. Kind of all fits together. I guess it has something to do with those New York values Trump talks about so frequently. Interestingly enough, in that same issue I also had submitted a letter which was quite informational talking about Harkins theaters as well as AMC theaters, the Goodyear city council and what have you. The point is that my letter talked about substance, where as Gordie’s letter was just another one of his infamous personal attack letters upon a Conservative who must be bad because he is Conservative. As I said earlier and will repeat “ Atta boy Gordon, atta boy”. Your attacks are a wonderful barometer of my effectiveness . Please continue doing what you do so well. When you stop attacking, I will probably dry up and blow away from lack of attention Roy Azzarello Goodyear (See Letters on Page 8)

City gouging water customers Editor: Buckeye Water vs Global WaterJust look at the differences ! Water consumption has tripled in cost per 1000 gallons. A new Environmental Fee has been added, $5.00 . A new Sewer Consumption Fee has been added ( to the existing sewer charge) $3.75 . Arizona Tax has doubled, now $4.21 on my bill. The Regulatory Assessment ( ?? ) is now 6 cents. So where is the regulation ? As a recent arrival to a newer tract home here in beautiful AZ, I can tell you for certain that Enviro Fees & Consumption Fees would require Public notice ( in advance) and Comment AND – a regulatory decision in order to be implemented in my state of origin. Apparently not so here in AZ. These 2 fees just popped up this year out of the blue. No advance warning at all. What bothers me is: my Global bill never exceeded $64, and now my Buckeye bill is over $75. Just wait and see what else is in store for those who live in tract homes in Buckeye: HOA monthly dues increases to pay for the ( essentially) doubling of water cost for the Park amenities that the city insisted the builders install. Nobody told the home buyers that within a few years after moving into their new home that a five to ten dollar monthly dues increase (higher water rates!) would happen just to pay for Buckeye’s new luxury water department. So now it’s a 15% HOA dues increase on top of a 20% increase in water costs for the tract homeowners in Buckeye – and my water is still as full of minerals as before. Poorly done. Sad also. I feel cheated somehow. Anybody else agree ? Chris Bright Buckeye
Editor: Ever wonder why were having a voting opportunity to change the Arizona Constitution in May? That’s because whatever “They” want you to pass / vote for, wouldn’t have a snowballs chance of passing if the process was held when there would be a larger, informed voter, turnout. Rest assured, Government workers and Public Union employees will be out in force voting for these Ballot issues. Both propositions are going to cost more money. That money will come from the taxpayers. There is no free lunch. Proposition 123 ? They say it won’t raise taxes, but it will cost Billions of dollars . The State trust permanent fund isn’t a bottomless pit of money. (2.5% to 6.9% increase). Then where will the higher level of funding will come from? Not one K-12 kid will get better grades if it passes, this isn’t “for the kids”. Just look where “They” propose the money is to be spent. Prop 124? Who’s supporting this one? If politicians and public Union employees want it to pass, you, a Tax payer, can’t afford it. In Buckeye, we have no money left for Tax increases. We need every penny we can muster just to cover our water rate increases. No on Prop 123, and No on Prop 124. Ken Busboom Buckeye
Blame the sun, not the GOP Editor: I’m writing in response to the “2 Disasters” letter in the WVV of 4/27 by Alfred Molena. The second disaster mentioned is caused by those so addled by standing in the sun too long that they have lost the common sense to vote by mail as most thinking people have. If they don’t receive mail, for some strange reason... What can I say?
I’ll bet Alfred votes by mail, so why is he writing? Could it be that he just likes to bash Republicans? Carl Deierling Goodyear
Mother’s Day Editor: This Mother’s Day, May 8th, many of us will celebrate the powerful bond between mother and child. Tragically, the worldwide symbols of motherhood — dairy cows — never get to see or nurture their babies. Newborn calves are torn from their mothers at birth, so we can seize and drink the milk that mother cows produce for them. The powerless, distraught mothers bellow for days, hoping in vain for their babies’ return. The babies are kept alive elsewhere, to soon become veal cutlets. Dairy cows spend their lives on a concrete floor, chained, with no outdoor access. To maintain their milk flow, they are artificially impregnated each year. Around four years of age, their milk production drops and they are turned into hamburgers. This Sunday, let’s honor motherhood and our natural compassion by refusing to subsidize cruelties of the dairy industry. Let’s replace cow’s milk and its products, laden with fat and cholesterol, with delicious, healthful, cruelty-free nut or soy-based milk, cheese, yogurt, and ice cream offered in every grocery store. Mother cows and our own bodies will thank us. Wilfred Wallace Litchfield Park
Only 1 true god exists Editor: Muslims of the entire world are lost in a false religion invented by Mohommed long long ago. The image of Allah in Mecca is a black stone. If you study their beliefs there is no hope for them even if they obey perfectly every tenet of what
the Quran teaches. One of their Mantras which I have personally seen written around the top of the “Dome of the Rock” in Jerusalem says “Allah has no son” over and over. But the God of the Bible has a Son, His name is Jesus, and He offered Himself as a perfect sacrifice to give sinners access to the only true God! Lenore Semmler Goodyear

Editor: Amen Mr. Holmes, American Coots have flown home with the “old coots” and the conversation still exists because Mr. Holmes, who walks lakes daily: “Why kill Gods’ Creations?” This year there were very few coots, little mess. Instead, the Association, to justify the slaughter, started feeding the birds to bring more coots to the lake to justify the slaughter. They killed 97 of thousands. It solved nothing except to placate the old coots who see only “KILL” as a solution. Considering the MANY other options available, the slaughter was unjustified and solved nothing but killing birds, a few fish, cats/dogs, collateral damage. Problem is, the “old coots” who, unfortunately, dictate policy in Estrella, can only see “kill” as an option! According to Chuck Marshall, the lakes/paths are overwhelmed with coots/poop. I am there daily!!! His comments are lies! “Chuckster” used classic scare tactics “disease, filth, kids/handicapped can’t use lakes. We tried other methods, unsuccessfully”. These methods were lame, at best. There are MANY options, non 100% effective and but don’t entail killing! Guess you could call Trump to build a wall or Arpaio to “order coots back north”. Messier, disease-carrying animals are people. Have you seen the lakes after a weekend? Politically, hearing the comments of the bigmouths who dictate the kill are: old, white, republicans, and, I bet, self-

professed Christians. You know, bigots, racists, paranoid who fear everything that is different and want to eradicate it. They are intolerant to everyone’s views but their own. Jesus stated “Be kind to all of God’s creations”. I know Jesus, who Christianity is based upon, would NOT condone killing coots. “Your kind” believe’s you are gods, pharaohs and enjoy killing. You People are not Christians but “Biblicans” (Bible + republican). Presently, killing coots solves nothing but makes a few geezers happy!

Welcome to the Business Briefcase, readers! Would you look at that, temperatures were in the 70s over the weekend. Is it really May? Is the apocalypse imminent? I was actually on the wrong end of one of the storms May 6. I’ve vowed never to curse the rain as a native Arizonan, but it’s hard to cover a playoff softball game when everyone is hiding from the lightning in a bus. Nevertheless, I promise to never again curse our glorious wet weather, unless it interferes with my job again. Let’s get down to business. Inland Kenworth has relocated to a new 17-acre facility off Shane McOwen Interstate 10 and 83rd Avenue in Tolleson. The company moved from Phoenix and has been operating there since early April, but will hold a grand opening event Friday, on location. The trucking company’s new facility will have new and used Kenworth truck sales, parts and service support, retail space and PacLease truck rental. Inland Kenworth is the first tenant in the 85-acre
business park at 83rd Avenue, just west of the eastern edge of Tolleson. The business park will eventually have a Loves Truck Stop and Tire Center, Blue Beacon Truck Wash and Utility Trailer dealership, as part of a “trucking hotspot” in the West Valley. The Briefcase will pass along opening dates for the other businesses once the information comes forward. The Tolleson Inland Kenworth location is one of two in Arizona, with six more in California and New Mexico. Inland Kenworth has 14 dealerships in Canada. For information on the new facility, call 602-258-7791 or visit www.inland-group.com. There are a lot of neighborhoods going up in Avondale south of Buckeye Road. One project, Del Rio Ranch, will have a new business neighbor in the not too distant future. Family Dollar Store is slated to go in at the northeast corner of El Mirage and Lower Buckeye roads. There’s not much there now except a lot of dirt and wild plant growth, but I imagine it won’t stay like that for much longer. The city is currently in the process of reviewing the site plan. The store is projected to be about 8,300 square feet. Family Dollar isn’t one of those dollar stores where everything is literally a dollar, but you’ll find plenty of those deals. It also sells name-brand products you’d recognize from any local grocer at reasonable prices. Avondale’s newest QuikTrip (one of two, anyway) is
Becsei and Steven King to the position of fire captain. Becsei has been with the city since June 2004 and is a certified paramedic. She will be assigned to Ladder 174 B-Shift. King has been with the city since May 1999 and will be assigned to E173 C-Shift. He has his technical rescue certification and is a certified paramedic.

Money spared New shopping center to give for new school Litchfield Park budget boost Sales taxes expected from Litchfield Marketplace reflected in city’s 2017 forecast
State budget doesn’t cut new campus funding by Emily Toepfer assistant editor
Funding for a new West Valley high school was spared from the chopping block in a budget approved Tuesday by Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey. A last-minute move by lawmakers lets the Agua Fria Union High School District keep funding already promised to it for a fifth campus, but also added the option for the state to defer payment if it deems the money isn’t available. The district was awarded $33.4 million by the Arizona School Facilities Board in February for a campus it plans to build northwest of Interstate 10 and Loop 303; however, the money was up in the air during budget deliberations last month. A cost-cutting recommendation by the Joint Legislative Budget Committee would have disqualified Agua Fria for the funding by changing the formula that determines if a new school is needed. The district has been at the top of the list to receive the money for six years. Its four campuses have a capacity for 7,505 students, and enrollment is almost 7,950. While the approved budget maintains new school funding, House Bill 2707 says the state can delay payment if the money isn’t immediately available. According to the bill, if funds awarded to a district by the SFB are not available in the fiscal year following the approval, the district “may use any legally available monies to pay for the project” and be reimbursed when the state has the funds. Agua Fria officials estimate it will cost $68 million to build a comprehensive new high school, including permits, furniture, equipment and fixtures. Land and development will add another $10 million. The new 200,000-square-foot school, which will have a science focus, is scheduled to open in fall 2018 and would house only freshman students the first year. If the district has to front the cost, it could use bond money, but that means putting off much-needed repairs at its other schools, said Tom Huffman, Agua Fria’s executive director of operations and safety. Voters passed a $70 million bond last November to help pay for the new school and also cover deferred maintenance and other projects in the district. Agua Fria has identified $131 million in existing capital costs, including air conditioning units, flooring and roofing repairs, Huffman said. Money from the SFB would free up some of the bond funds and allow the district to start on those repairs, while also eliminating the need to build the new school in phases.

The city of Litchfield Park’s budget should realize a bump in revenues thanks to the opening of a new commercial development later this year. The fiscal year 2017 budget the City Council is expected to adopt on May 18 shows an estimated 5 percent increase in revenues due primarily to increased sales tax collections the city is expecting after Litchfield Marketplace opens. While revenues are up, the $15.5 million in operating and capital expenses reflects a 1 percent decrease, according to Benjamin Ronquillo, the city’s finance director. Ronquillo said the budget for the fiscal year that starts July 1 is similar to last year’s income and spending plan. The city covering 3.3 square miles with a population of about 5,400 does not impose a primary property tax. “We heavily rely on sales tax revenue, which is why the Litchfield Marketplace is important to the city,” Ronquillo said. City sales tax and bed tax collections are expected to increase from about $4.3 million to almost $5 million. Those increased sales tax revenues will start flowing into city coffers when stores and restaurants in the development on the corner of Litchfield and Camelback roads, anchored by Fry’s Marketplace, start opening in August. The tax collections are part of $11.3 million in revenues that includes state-shared revenues and other income. The city expects a more than 50 percent decrease in revenue from building permits — down from $550,000 in 2016 to $250,000 — because what Ronquillo called “high dollar permits” were collected last year for Litchfield Marketplace and new housing developments. The city’s general fund expenses of $7.9 million include $1,339,137 for public safety, up $56,456 from last year because of increases for contracts with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office for police services and the Goodyear Fire Department for fire and emergency services, Ronquillo said.

Public works maintenance expenses will increase from $2,361,861 spent this year to $2,655,099 because of upgrades in the city’s parks, including landscaping and playground equipment, he said. That budget line also includes maintaining city rights of way, medians, sidewalks and paths, Ronquillo said. The city’s planning services budget will jump from $213,726 spent this year to $504,294 next year because of expenses associated with planning a new development in the center of the city. “There’s a lot of work that goes into planning before anyone breaks ground,” Ronquillo said. An increase in engineering services expenses from $238,000 spent this year to $280,000 is attributed to increased residential and commercial building projects, he said. The general fund also covers expenses for the offices of the city manager, clerk, attorney, finance and human resources and the city court. Ronquillo described a $1.1 million contingency fund for operations as “kind of like an emergency fund … so we have funds available to cover every unseen need.” In 2016, the city spent $159,339 from the contingency fund. Recreation and community services and special events are budgeted to spend just over $1 million. Helping to cover the costs is $644,900 collected by fees for those services. The capital projects fund includes $3.1 million for special projects and a $3 million contingency fund. Capital projects in 2017 include $730,000 for pathway construction on Old Litchfield Road and Litchfield Road, $500,000 for citywide street repair and replacement projects and $500,000 toward reconstruction of the perimeter wall along Camelback Road across from Litchfield Marketplace. The city will also spend $350,000 for the second half of payments for reconstructing the wall at Tierra Verde Lake. Ronquillo said the budget does not add any new positions to the city’s staff of 79 full-time equivalents. The city’s estimated personnel compensation for 2017 is $3.4 million, including salaries, retirement, health care and other benefit costs. The Litchfield Park City Council meets at 7 p.m. May 18 in the Community Room at the Florence Brinton Litchfield Memorial Library, 101 W. Wigwam Blvd., Litchfield Park.

Tonopah thespians put twist on Robin Hood by Glenn Gullickson staff writer
Students speaking with British accents at Tonopah Valley High School aren’t foreign exchange students but young actors preparing to stage a play that puts a twist on the Robin Hood legend. The drama students will perform The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood at 7 p.m. Friday at the school’s auditorium, 38201 W. Indian School Road, Tonopah. WHAT: The Drama teacher and Somewhat True director Darla Spain said Tale of Robin she selected the play from Hood. several available about WHEN: 7 p.m. Robin Hood. Friday. “This one was so funny WHERE: to me,” Spain said. “It’s Tonopah Valley kind of a Mel Brooks High School, humor, stupid, slapstick 38201 W.

Spain said. She said the students quickly picked up the speaking style that she found difficult to demonstrate. A majority of the cast of 15 are males, which is unusual for a school production, Spain said. Riley Harshbarger leads the cast as Robin Hood and Roe Ostermeyer plays Maid Marian. Other major roles are filled by Sotero Avila as Prince John and Jack Hines III as the Sheriff of Nottingham. Other students from the drama class are part of the stage crew responsible for sound, lights and sets. “Everyone ends up being involved, even if they don’t have a lead part,” Spain said. Sets include Sherwood Forest with trees made of Styrofoam, a throne room, Marion’s bed chamber, a tournament scene and the “dungeon of demise,” Spain said. “It’s all a little cartoony because Robin Hood is cartoony,” she said. Period costumes were obtained during a field trip by

Desert Edge wins state in track and field Scorpions bookend year with football and track titles by Casey Pritchard sports editor
A season of firsts continued for Desert Edge May 7, but it was with a familiar cast of characters. The Scorpions’ boys track and field team won the Division II state championship at Mesa Community TRACK & College, doing so with a lineup FIELD full of football players. Desert Edge claimed the Division III state football championship back in November 2015. “It’s really exciting,” said track coach Rich Wellbrock, who is also the football coach. “The kids have worked really hard, had a phenomenal year. For a lot of them it’s been two state championships. They were either on the sidelines with us, or on the field playing back in November. It’s good to cap off a special year with another state championship.” Desert Edge scored 61 points, running away with the title. Glendale Apollo was a distant second with 41.5 points, while Tucson Salpointe Catholic (35.5) was third. Tyson Jones, a lineman on the football team, was the Scorpions’ only individual champion, claiming two titles. Jones won both the shot put and discus. “It really means a lot to me because I’ve been working out the whole year just for this moment, and working through everything, it feels really good,” Jones said. Jones threw 60 feet, four inches in the shot, more than six feet further than his closest competitor, which happened to be his brother Hunter. Hunter Jones, another lineman for the football team, earned runner-up in the shot, reaching 54-3.75. “Going in, [Tyson] was the favorite in the shot put, so I think he felt a little bit of pressure,” Wellbrock said. “When he popped his 60 and got it out there, kind of set the mark, I think he was a little relieved and kind of went from there.” In addition to taking the top two spots in the shot put, Desert Edge also had the fifth-place finisher, Dante Blissit, who was a fullback and defensive lineman. His mark was 50-0. Tyson Jones’ winning discus throw was 173-06. Both his shot and discus marks

Blissit placed fifth in the discus at 150-08. All told, the Scorpions tallied 32 points from its throwers alone. “The throwers have anchored us all year,” Wellbrock said. “Their attention to detail and preparing themselves for every meet, really getting themselves ready to perform at a high level, they’ve
done a phenomenal job of that all year. The throwers and jumpers have done a really good job of putting in their work, and when the lights turn on they tend to perform very well.” Tehran Thomas, Desert Edge’s star quarterback, was at the forefront of the Scorpions’ jumpers. He claimed two medals with second- and fourth-place finishes in the triple and long jumps, respectively. “He’s a gamer,” Wellbrock said of Thomas. “He had struggled the year
previously in the long jump, so to watch him in the triple jump, he was so excited. He had a phenomenal day [May 4] and really set the table for us for [May 7] to be able to hold up the trophy.” Thomas nearly took first in the triple, losing to Tempe Marcos de Niza’s Marcus Naisant by an inch and a half. Thomas’ mark was a PR at 45-9. “The whole triple jump came down to (See State on Page 23)

Buckeye’s baseball team has been rolling in the Division IV state tournament. Following a first-round bye, the Hawks haven’t trailed in either of their two playoff games. The latest triumph, a 9-3 victory over No. 3 Florence May 7 at the Goodyear Ballpark complex, has Buckeye in the state semifinals. “It means a lot, and it’s even bigger now,” Buckeye coach Danny Rodriguez said. “We’re in the final four and we’re one game away from having a chance to play for the title, so we’re excited.” Sixth-seeded Buckeye was supposed to have already played its semifinal game, but rain May 6 flooded the fields at Goodyear’s complex, forcing quarterfinal games to be pushed back to May 7, the date originally scheduled for semifinal games. Instead, the semifinals will now be at 6 p.m. Friday, also at Goodyear, with the state championship scheduled for 4 p.m. Saturday at Surprise Stadium. “I like what happened to us,” Rodriguez said. “I like the fact that we only had to come play one, we didn’t have to bounce back to play another one [this weekend]. We’ll do the bouncing back for the state title, and I’m OK with that. You play the semis, you win, you bounce back and play for the state title, I’m OK with that compared to going back and forth for a quarterfinal to a semifinal.” Buckeye’s opponent in the semifinals is a familiar one: Glendale Joy Christian. The Hawks lost an eight-inning game at Joy Christian April 5. The game was tied 1-1 until the eighth when Buckeye tallied twice in the top of the frame. However, the Hawks allowed three runs in the bottom half, losing 4-3. Rodriguez said the final two runs were scored when his outfielder lost a ball in a dark sky. Joy Christian’s field doesn’t have lights. “We’re excited to play them again,” Rodriguez said. “We know they’re going to throw their best, and their best is pretty good, but we saw another guy today from Florence who was very good, we took him out, so we’re on a roll. It’s going to be a good ballgame next week.”
Quick start Buckeye wasted little time in grabbing the lead against Florence, taking a 3-0 lead in the top of the first against starting pitcher Mathew Olsen. After a one-out walk to Demetrio Botello, J.C. Perez, Randen Garrison and Ishmel Higuera all singled, bringing home three runs. “You score early like that on a team like this, and we get the insurance like last week, you can breathe easy,” Rodriguez said. “We’re up 9-1 at one point and it’s like, we’re going to sit back and watch this play out. It’s very

Alex Esqueda led off with a triple to center, and two batters later, Austin Forrester knocked him in with a double, making it 4-1. The Hawks opened the floodgates in the fifth, scoring four times. They added another in the sixth, making it 9-1, before Florence tallied twice in the bottom of the sixth. “We did a great job today,” Rodriguez said. “I talked to the kids before we left and our goal was to end it in five. I felt we could get after this kid early and try to end
it in five. We tried. We came out swinging right away. We weren’t intimidated by any means. I think last week was the nerve week for us. This week, we’re ready to go, we’re ready to play for the title. We just came out swinging and I’m really happy for the kids.” Perez had three hits for Buckeye, including two doubles, and scored three times. “Lately, I’ve been in a slump, so getting it going, hit after hit, it’s good for the team,” Perez said. Garrison went 4-for-4, singling every time at bat. He drove in three runs and scored twice. (See Blasts on Page 20)

Lady Vipers come up short in 1st round Last-inning rally too little, too late for Verrado by Casey Pritchard sports editor
Verrado’s first-round exit from the Division II state softball tournament didn’t come without a fight. The Lady Vipers scored three times in the bottom of the seventh, but it wasn’t enough to overcome a large deficit against Tucson Sunnyside. Verrado lost 9-5. “Their pitcher was really good, had a lot of movement,” Verrado coach Tee Hampton said. “We have some quality hitters on our team; sometimes it just takes them a while to get things figured out and get things going. We had a good rally late, but there were not enough innings left.” Sunnyside’s pitcher, Jazmine Ayala, pitched a complete game, allowing eight hits and four earned runs. She walked one and struck out one. “Usually, after every inning on offense, I just chat with the batters that had an opportunity to get an at bat and see what they’re seeing, especially if we’re not having a lot of success,” Hampton said. “I have faith in my girls that we can hit most pitching, but when we struggle early, I try to figure out, ‘What are you seeing, what’s the ball doing, is she living on the outer half or jamming on the inside, using a rise ball?’ So, usually we try to strategize from there, but it took us a while to catch up. We made some adjustment as far as moving up in the box. The best way to sum it up is we didn’t adjust soon enough, and it was too late by then.” Verrado also didn’t help itself by falling behind early. Sunnyside scored five runs in the second inning, and added three more in the third to take an 8-0 lead. Reina Kelley got the start for Verrado, but was pulled early. “I can usually go with Reina for about four, five innings, and go from there, but I had to pull her early,” Hampton said. “For some reason, her balls weren’t breaking like they usually do, because she has very good movement, the ball just wasn’t breaking. Sometimes you have those days.” Morgan Preston relieved Kelley, but she struggled as well, Hampton said. “She was throwing hard, but wasn’t getting the movement we were looking for,” Hampton said. Nikki Gonzalez relieved Preston. “They only scored one run after Nikki went in. I’m pretty proud in that aspect,” Hampton said. Verrado finally got on the scoreboard in the fourth

The Lady Vipers lost their first five games, but still went 21-12. “I’m very proud,” Hampton said. “A transition year is always a big question mark, ‘Are they going to be able to have the success they’ve had in the past?’ We’ve built a very good program out there as far as bringing in some good talent and just playing solid, fundamentally sound

(From Page 15) “It all started at practice, prepping, working on hitting curveballs,” Garrison said. “My first at bat he went 1-0 to me, I knew he was going to throw me a curveball, so I just sat back and had a good approach. The ball looked like a beach ball today. I was just trying to stay back and drive in runs.” All told, Buckeye had 14 hits. The Hawks knocked out Olsen after just five innings. Jair Galvan picked up the pitching victory again for Buckeye. He went the distance, giving up three runs on four hits and three walks, striking out two. “He’s the quiet assassin,” Rodriguez said. “I think it hurt him not going [May 6], he was prepared. He was gassing a little bit toward the end, so I do think that extra day hurt him a little bit.” Galvan will likely start again in the semifinals. “He’s our guy,” Rodriguez said. “We’re going to throw

Youth movement Alva said the team will return its entire starting lineup, and hopes the playoff defeat will light a fire heading into next season. “I see their emotion [after the loss] and that tells me they really care, that it really means something to them,” Alva said. “In the past, we’ve lost and it’s pretty much just, ‘We’re done, oh well.’ “Hopefully, this will make them stronger and make them want it more.” Buckeye finished with a 20-6 record, and will return all but two players. The Lady Hawks hit .456 as a team, and will have 10 of their top 11 hitters come back for another run. Kaluau and Blake both hit over .500 with more than 70-plus at bats each. “We have a bright future,” Alva said.

everybody Friday, but he’s our guy again.” Joy Christian, the No. 2 seed, has a record of 31-3. Having already played them this season should help, Rodriguez said. “It’s big for us, we know who’s going to swing it, we know who’s not going to swing it,” Rodriguez said. “It’s the same way for them, they know who’s going to swing and who’s not. The difference with us is we have some guys that didn’t swing it against them who are swinging it really well right now, especially with the breaking pitches. So, we’re really happy and really excited about that.” Buckeye will be without Higuera, its designated hitter, in the semifinals because he was ejected after striking out in the sixth inning against Florence. The ball hit the dirt after strike three, and Higuera threw an elbow toward the Florence first baseman when running past the base, Rodriguez said. Both teams had been warned about throwing elbows, Rodriguez said. If the Hawks win Friday, Higuera will be eligible to return Saturday.

Tonopah Valley’s Kassandra Renteria will don familiar colors at the collegiate level, trading in her Tonopah Valley red and black for that of Benedictine. Renteria signed on to play VOLLEYBALL volleyball at Benedictine University in Mesa. Renteria was named the Division V, Section V player of the year and was an integral part of the Lady Phoenix’s run to the state title game last November. “[It’s] my understanding that Benedictine coach Sonia Jones is excited about Kassandra, and so are we,” Tonopah Valley coach Ed Andersson said. “Kassandra is only the third player in school volleyball history to play at the next level. She had an outstanding senior year.” Renteria led the team with 223 kills, 34 percent of Tonopah Valley’s total kill tally on the season. She was second on the team with 76 serving aces, third with 70 total blocks and second in digs with 343. “I felt that I made the right decision to go there,” Renteria said. “I felt like I’d really connect with the team like I did my high school team, and connect with the coach.” Renteria was planning on going to Arizona Western College in Yuma, before Andersson filled her in on Benedictine. “He contacted me and said there’s a school in Mesa that just opened and is recruiting, and they need at least one person at each position,” Renteria said. “He ended up contacting the coach, and she contacted me, and we got together for a little tryout.”

KASSANDRA RENTERIA of Tonopah Valley spikes the ball over the net during an October match last season. Renteria signed to play with Benedictine University in Mesa. Renteria said the tryout went great, and ultimately sealed the deal with the school. The small nature of Benedictine’s campus and class size appealed to Renteria, she said. “Being out of a small school, I wasn’t really prepared to go to a big school,” Renteria said. “I like the small school feel, the small classes and stuff like that. I think the campus is very nice, [and] it’s only been open for a couple of years.” Renteria said it’ll be nice to be able to see her family often, staying in state for college. “I’m happy that it’s in state, and
hopefully I can watch my sister play,” Renteria said. Her sister, Christina, was another key player on the Lady Phoenix last season. Renteria also said she hopes her quest to play college ball will be able to help younger players down the road. “Hopefully, this will give the younger kids a little bit of encouragement, that just because you come from a small school, doesn’t mean you can’t go anywhere and further your career and whatever you want to do,” Renteria said. Renteria said she was thankful for Andersson helping her through the
recruiting process. “I want to thank coach Andersson for pushing me when I wasn’t feeling confident in myself, for believing in me and that I could strive for whatever I wanted to achieve,” Renteria said. “I’m proud for achieving this because I’ve been pushing myself and putting in a lot of hard work. I’ve been working for this throughout high school and I have to thank my coach helping me achieve it.” Benedictine plays in the California Pacific Conference of NAIA, the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. The team finished 17-7 in 2015.

Buckeye loses in D-II state semifinals Lady Hawks put together another impressive season
“I’ve had three girls that I’ve coached in 11 years — in 11 years in the regular season, we’ve won 145 and lost 10, we’ve won 21 in the state and lost nine in state — I’ve had three girls in all those matches ever lose a set 1-6 and come back, and she’s the third one,” Larm said. “I knew she could do it. I got on her after the first set and told her what she needed to do, told her she was beating herself. She’s not the type of person to take it personally, she knows she has another gear. When girls are down 1-6 and come back to win, it’s something they have that you just can’t teach.” Ramirez had not lost a singles match all season, and wanted to keep that streak going, she said. “I had to tell myself that my frustration was in my head and I couldn’t let the heat get to me,” Ramirez said. “I just had to regain my confidence.”

Buckeye got shut out in the Division II state semifinals against Catalina Foothills May 6, but the Lady Hawks once again showed how well they can compete in girls tennis. “Another semifinals, it’s crazy, especially at Division II,” coach Allen Larm said. Buckeye had been GIRLS competing in TENNIS Division III since 2012, but made the jump to Division II with this year’s Arizona Interscholastic Association’s realignment because of how successful its program has been. The Hawks won the 2014 Division III state championship, and were semifinalists in 2012 and 2015. Having to play stiffer competition this season, the Lady Hawks proved they could step up to the challenge. “Any time you get to the semifinals, you’re happy,” Larm said. “We got there last year in Division III in a rebuild year. This team is a super good team. I wish we were at Division III to show it more, but just to be able to go [to the semifinals] and play the great [Tucson] Catalina Foothills. “I told my son [assistant coach Luke Larm] at the beginning of the year, I want our girls to take [third place] in doubles and get to the final four [as a team] — we’re going to play [Scottsdale] Notre Dame or Catalina Foothills, but let’s just get there — and we did, so it’s been a perfect year for us.” Buckeye’s doubles tandem of Eleanor Ahlstrom and Olivia Napolitano took third in the April 30 individual tournament with a victory over Mesa Desert Ridge’s Isabella Boxrud and Natalie Boxrud. As a team, the Lady Hawks lost to Catalina Foothills 5-0, but won their quarterfinal match May 4 against Tucson Rincon/ University 5-2. “I’m going to be honest, I gave ourselves about a 10 percent chance of winning [against Rincon] because they’re a great team,” Larm said. “For our girls to

The Lady Hawks won the match 5-2 to advance to the Division II state semifinals, where they lost to Catalina Foothills 5-0. do that, to step up — because Eleanor is our No. 1 player, she’s kind of the heart of the team, and having to play the state champion [Lindsey Pesquiera] — I told the other girls they needed to step up, and they did, so I couldn’t be prouder of them.” Ahlstrom lost 6-1, 6-0, as did Kenadie Crane at No. 3. However, those were the only matches Buckeye lost. Napolitano won at No. 2, 6-2, 6-1, while Mekayla Fuller won 6-2, 6-3 at No. 4.
Forfeit wins Buckeye wound up receiving two automatic victories by forfeit when Rincon’s No. 6, Sophia Lewandrowski, suffered a shoulder injury and had to withdraw from her singles match. She couldn’t go in doubles, either, and Rincon did not have an alternate to fill in. That meant Buckeye only had to win three other matches. After Napolitano and Fuller’s victories, Jazmine Ramirez closed it out with a three-set victory, 1-6, 6-3, 11-9.
Ramirez’s win took nearly two hours, which included a 25-minute break because of the heat. The Rincon coach had asked for a 10-minute break, but it ended up being more than twice that. “I was warned by the Tucson coaches, [Rincon] prolongs the match,” Larm said. “Our girls responded well. They just wanted to keep playing.” Ramirez wound up winning a 10-point tiebreak to capture the third set. The coaches decided to do that instead of play a regular set. “We agreed to do the third set the way we did,” Larm said. “He was more concerned with the heat than we were. You’re supposed to play out the third set, but we agreed to do a tiebreaker. We were good with that.” Ramirez’s win also meant Buckeye didn’t have to play any doubles matches. Still, Larm felt good about his team’s chances if it would have gone to that point. “My [No. 2] doubles hasn’t lost all year, they’re really good,” Larm said. “I just like the way they responded. Everybody in high school tennis is going to be surprised we won, I know I am. I’m shocked.” Buckeye loses two seniors from its team, Ahlstrom and Fuller. Even with another new realignment next year, the Lady Hawks will still be in Division II. Casey Pritchard can be reached at caseypritchard@westvalleyview.com or on Twitter @CaseyonSports.

State (From Page 14) the last jump,” Thomas said. “I had 44-7, I think he had 43-10. The last one he [went ahead], I went right after and barely missed. I wish I could have [won], but I wasn’t too frustrated. That was the best jump I had all year, so I was really excited with how I performed. I was happy with it.” Thomas reached 22-6 in the long jump, which was also a PR. Johnnie Mosley, a cornerback for the football team, was eighth in the long jump at 21-9. Alias Sturges, a wide receiver who filled in at quarterback when Thomas was injured during the football season, took fourth in the triple with a leap of 44-8.75. Desert Edge’s other points came from Chaz Clark, who took fourth in the 110 hurdles at 14.8 seconds, and the 4x100 relay, which was eighth at 43.67. The relay team consisted of Mosley, Clark, Thomas and Alex Maiz. “Chaz PR’d at state in the finals, which he struggled so badly the year before, so it’s really exciting to see those things,” Wellbrock said. Clark was a JV football player, while Maiz participated on the freshman team. “All of them are football players,” Wellbrock said. “The special part was all those kids’ hard work. Those kids put a lot of hard work in, and that it came out with a team title, they all did their part.”

A majority of Desert Edge’s points, 41, came May 4, which was the first day of the meet. That’s when the shot put, long and triple jumps all took place. Going into the second day, May 7, Wellbrock said he knew the Scorpions had a really good chance to claim the title, especially after some early results that day. “I think I had a pretty good idea after Chaz did so well in the 110s, at that point we knew we were sitting pretty and we were just going to have to hold on,” Wellbrock said. “Four hours later you’re still worried about every scenario possible, a couple teams had a couple kids still in events we were concerned about, so we just sat around and held on for four hours and then got handed the trophy.” Having a good first day also put the pressure on other teams to do their best in order to try to catch Desert Edge, Wellbrock said. “The pressure was definitely on everybody else from a team standpoint,” Wellbrock said. “With our three big events going [May 4], that onus was on them. We already did our work, now they have to come get us. It worked out well for us, but with that being said, our kids knew they had to score on [May 4], and if they didn’t score [May 4], [May 7] wasn’t going to matter.” Despite claiming the title, not everyone was there to celebrate the trophy presentation. “We had prom that night, so there were only four or five kids left,” Wellbrock said. “I was lucky enough to have Hunter and Chaz, they were still around. It’s one of those things where it’s the timing of the whole thing, but what a special experience, and they’re walking around like they’re really high on the hog, all the teachers know at school. It’s really exciting for them.” Thomas said the track state championship will give the football team momentum for the fall. “To go grab one in football and then go grab one in track, too, for me, that’s a blessing and we’re all very excited as a team,” Thomas said. “For football, it gives us momentum and we’re going to go out and try for a two-peat.”

Support group for caregivers
The West Valley View publishes on Wednesday. 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. Events such as concerts and theatrical performances that fall outside of the View’s circulation area will be considered as there are no concert halls or theater venues within our boundaries. Fundraisers that are held at restaurants where only a portion of the proceeds benefits the charity or nonprofit will not be considered. 9 Days a Week calendar items print on a spaceavailable basis; the only way to guarantee that an item will print is to purchase an advertisement.

Avondale Boys & Girls Club to get makeover by Glenn Gullickson staff writer
The Boys & Girls Club in Avondale is getting a makeover thanks to a volunteer day organized by the Phoenix office of a national real estate company. About 150 volunteers are expected to help renovate the Tri-City West Thornwood Branch of the club in Historic Avondale Thursday, said Scott Kiburz, operating principal of Keller Williams Realty Biltmore Partners, who is planning the effort. Kiburz said the project, which is part of the company’s annual “Red Day” volunteer initiative, will involve cleaning, painting, carpeting and landscaping at the club. “We’re going to make the club as new and fresh as we can,” he said.
It’s the fifth year Keller Williams has organized a volunteer day for its employees and business partners. The event always benefits one of the 13 metropolitan Phoenix Boys & Girls Clubs, which provide after-school activities and meals for youths. Kiburz said the project grew out of a companywide “know your city” project that promoted volunteerism on “Red Day,” a name that refers to the color in the company logo. After doing renovations at a Boys & Girls Club in Glendale the first year, “we were hooked,” Kiburz said. “We’ve been doing it bigger every single year. The kids are beyond delighted when we are done.” The Thornwood Branch serves 220
youths ages 5 to 18 from Avondale, Goodyear and Litchfield Park. Kiburz said the Avondale site was selected for this year’s project because it was the club in greatest need. The project will include laying 120 square yards of carpet, painting a portion of the club’s gym and other rooms and installing additional storage and furniture, Kiburz said. New technology, including computers, a gaming system and television, will also be added, he said. “What we’ll do may well be the single biggest volunteer effort in the nation for one Boys & Girls Club in a 24-hour period,” Kiburz said. Keller Williams agents and business partners provide the workforce and
