Free meals offered to children throughout West Valley by Emily Toepfer assistant editor
An administrator with experience at West Valley schools is the new superintendent of the Saddle Mountain Unified School District. Paul Tighe, superintendent of the Mingus Union High School District in Cottonwood, will start his new job on July 1. At Saddle Mountain, Tighe will lead a district of about 1,500 pupils attending an elementary school in Buckeye and an elementary school and high school in Tonopah.
School might be out for the summer, but thousands of pupils can continue to count on their campuses for a nutritious meal. More than 60 percent of youths in the West Valley depend on free and reduced-price lunches during the school year, according to the Arizona Department of Education. To help keep children in low-income areas fed during the summer months, 33 schools and other sites throughout the area are taking part in the Summer Food Service Program. Children younger than 18 eat free, and parents can often purchase a meal for a small charge. In order for a location to qualify as a feeding site, at least 50 percent of pupils must be eligible for the free and reduced-price meals, which means their family’s income is at or below 185 percent of the federal poverty level, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Typically, a district will host the summer feeding program at a few of its schools, but this year, all 12 campuses in the Pendergast Elementary District will be sites. “We’re answering the call of the community,” said Jamie Triolo, food service director in the district. “There’s a definite need when you’re looking at one out of every five households is food poor. So we need to keep the kids we feed and take care of all year fed into the summer months.” The Litchfield Elementary District is also offering a variety of options for pupils to get food, with meals served Monday through Saturday and also for dinner. “I just can’t find kids that are hungry only Monday through Thursday, or just breakfast and lunch,” said David Schwake, food director for the district. The district is also partnering with St. Mary’s Food Bank to provide families with bags of food they can take home, including fruits, vegetables, cereal and bread. “We just want to give them a big variety, and we want it to all be healthy,” Schwake said. Avondale resident Tracey Grimsley has been taking her children to the district’s summer feeding sites for about five years. “It’s a good balanced meal that I’m not going to make for them, because I’m busy,” she said. “Plus, my friends are here and I get to sit and socialize with other adults in the summer time.” At the district’s three sites, youths are given the option of creating their own burrito or another lunch item, such as meatballs or barbecue chicken. “There’s something different every day,”

Minimally invasive surgery removes back pain. “I spent most of last summer using a walker as a result of severe stenosis. I had my surgery at 1 PM, one small incision, and on the way home at 3 PM. I needed nothing for pain from that point forward. Both my wife and I cannot say enough about Dr. Lieberman’s skill and followup. I’m so happy to be playing tennis again.

West Valley school districts will have 43 vacant governing board seats to fill in the upcoming Nov. 8 election, which history has proven is not always an easy feat. Dozens of school board elections in Maricopa County have been canceled in the last several years when not enough people signed up to have contested races, meaning multiple people running for a seat. In 2014, elections in 10 out of 14 West Valley school districts were called off before the election because they either had just enough people running to fill the seats or nobody running at all. People interested in running for a seat can request a packet from the Maricopa County Education Service Agency at education.maricopa.gov. Included in the packet is a petition, and candidates must collect signatures to get on the ballot, ranging from three in the Arlington Elementary District to 339 in the Tolleson Union High School District. Completed packets will be accepted between July 11 and Aug. 10. If a school district doesn’t have enough candidates to fill the open seats, it must actively seek out board members after the election. A governing board consists of three to
five members who make decisions and plan direction for the school district in accordance with state laws. The term of office is either two or four years. To qualify as a board member, a person must be a registered voter in the state and also a resident of the school district in which he’s running for at least one year before the day of the election. Board members cannot serve on more than one school district governing board at the same time, and neither employees of a school district nor their spouses can be on a board for that district. Governing boards meet at least once a month during the regular school year, and may hold other special meetings as often as necessary. A governing board’s duties might include hiring and evaluating the district superintendent; setting salaries for employees; approving and monitoring the budget; establishing policies; and adopting school boundaries. Board members don’t implement policy, manage day-to-day operations of the district or evaluate staff, other than superintendents. A new board member orientation is offered by the Arizona School Boards Association and covers everything from the basics of school finance to essentials such as open meeting laws.

He has a doctorate in education administration from Arizona State University. Tighe succeeds Mark Joraanstad, superintendent at Saddle Mountain for eight years, who is leaving to become director of Arizona School Administrators. Saddle Mountain operates Tartesso Elementary in Buckeye and Ruth Fisher Elementary and Tonopah Valley High School, both in Tonopah.

MY VIEWPOINT
GRANLUND’S OPINION — PoliticalCartoons.com
EDITORIAL
Bathroom choice puts women, girls in danger The real problem with allowing transgender people to use the bathroom of their choice is that it makes it impossible to differentiate between who should be using the women’s room and who should not. Proponents argue that being transgender is not a choice. I agree. That transgender people shouldn’t be forced to use a bathroom of the sex they don’t identify with. I concur. Cary Hines That transgender men won’t use the ladies’ room to molest our daughters, our sisters, our wives. I never thought they would. I’m far more concerned about sex offenders using this loophole as a way to gain entry to the women’s room. Sound farfetched? Sex offenders go to great lengths to commit their crimes. I know. I read the police reports. I don’t think dressing up as a woman to use the ladies’ room is out of the question. But more likely, they won’t even have to. Gone will be the days when store security could even question a man entering the ladies’ room for fear of a harassment lawsuit. What’s to say he who identities as a she just didn’t feel like getting all gussied up to run some errands that day? Women all over the country go out in public every day in sweatpants and T-shirts, devoid of makeup and any hair styling. They still identify as women. Why would transgender men be any different? By eliminating any differentiating criteria, the floodgates to the women’s room will open and nobody will have the authority to close them. Any Tom, Dick or Harry will be able to walk into the women’s room without fear of being questioned, no matter what he looks like. Women will fear using the restroom alone and will have to teach their daughters to look up while relieving themselves to make sure no one is peeking over the top with a cell phone. Not all sex offenders are so overt as to actually physically molest a woman, plenty just want to look. Any semblance of privacy will be a thing of the past. I’m focusing on the ladies’ room because I see a higher incidence of sex offenses among men than I do women. And I just don’t see women, even women who identify as men, lining up to use the men’s room anytime soon. But even if they did, the men don’t have the same issues with it. Most would not be nearly (if at all) as bothered by a woman in the men’s room as a woman would be vice versa. But more importantly, most men could fight off an attempted rape by a woman. Women can’t say the same thing. Do I think a solution is needed to the transgender bathroom dilemma? You bet I do. But I don’t think this is it. This puts the needs of the few over the safety of many.

Fear and outrage Editor: Donald Trump is not the creator of the Fear and Outrage strategy of the Far Right. That credit/blame goes to the ratings wizards at Fox News who realized twenty years ago that there is a market for the most absurd, unfounded, scary stories they can dream up. Pundits like Hannity, Beck and Limbaugh have convinced the right-wing listeners that no other sources can be trusted but Fox. If you lie, distort and accuse enough, some people will believe it’s true. To the dismay of many reasonable Republicans, The Donald has ridden that concept to the GOP nomination. His followers don’t care if his promises, warnings or predictions are true. They seem to think that things were better “in the good old days”. For some, that meant blacks, Hispanics and women knew their place in American society. It meant people who were “different” than most of us had to hide out for fear of censure, beatings or worse. It meant you didn’t have to tolerate other religions if you were an
evangelical Christian. Despite what Fox News and right-wing blogs say, the President did not apologize at Hiroshima for the atom bomb. Hillary Clinton did not tell a rescue team for Benghazi to stand down. Transgender people are not men who want to go into women’s bathrooms to molest them. Obama was not born in Kenya. The federal government does not ignore our southern border. Planned Parenthood does not illegally sell baby parts. The U.S. did not give Iran $150 billion to support terrorists. And there is no evidence that Obama will declare martial law to stop the November elections. Some of our friends and neighbors believe these false assertions. Unfortunately for our country, the FOX strategy (Fear/ Outrage/Xenophobia) seems to be working really well. John Flynn Goodyear
Armed forces disabled Editor: The 21st of April is Arm Forces day. It is sad to say that this branch of our government is unable to defend our country as it did on previous decades. Thanks to the present administration whom enjoys given away tax
payers money to undocumented Democrats (heavens forbid that I should say illegals.) Due to the government continuous waste, our military has been ignored. They in order to maintain our aircraft flying, maintenance personnel are forced to cannibalized parts from airplanes in museums, exhibits, and from the bone yard. Troops replacing soldiers in the field have no weapons, relieved troops hand their weapons to the new incoming relievers. This could be the reason why no one respects us. We can even fight our way out of a paper bag. Our government has to stop the giveaway programs and concentrate on building our defenses. Perhaps Obama’s quest, is to destroy our country.

COLE’S OPINION — Scranton Times-Tribune
(From Page 6) Twilight Zone, because by the time the last person voted, it was dark and very spooky. Incidentally the other circus, Ringling Bro. and Barnum Bailey got tired of thier elephants to, put them out to pasture. We democrats will put you republicans elephants out to pasture to. Another happy 8 years. How can I be the biggest republican basher, if you keep misspelling my name, I hate that. Alfred C. Molina Tonopah
Let’s talk about stem cells Editor: Last night, I was listening to George Noory’s live talk show program, Coast-To-Coast on 550AM. He had on his show as his guest Dr. Ina Pastor. The subject of his show was Dr. Pastor’s experiment (which is regulatory-approved) to “re-animate” 20 individuals, with no brain activity, using stem cells and lasers. What are stem cells? They are undifferentiated cells which have the (genetic) potential to differentiate into 200 tissue types: heart, kidneys, pancreas, skin, bone, glandular and nerve. Most recently, for patients who will be undergoing chemotherapy, stem cells from bone marrow are harvested. These stem cells are later re-implanted (via IV) after chemotherapy. Other forms of stem cell transplantation, useful to diabetics, is pancreatic stem cell transplants. Eventually, the new pancreatic cells produce insulin and diabetic patients will no longer need daily insulin injections. Stem cell research is going to bring wonderful innovations to medical science. By creating (and fusing) new nerve tissue, people who are para- or quadriplegic, will regain the use of their legs and arms. What about brain transplants? If, from a donor, will require immunosuppressant drugs and a stay at an isolation ward in a hospital, to reduce the risk of infection and rejection. What

about regrowing nerve tissue to repair damaged optic or auditory nerves? People will regain their ability to see or hear. How about regrowing a face from someone’s own stem cells? There is less chance of rejection. One day, we will be able to regrow hearts or kidneys. When this becomes science fact, and not fiction, I may be around in the year 2095 — in the body of a 20 year-old woman. Think about it. Hope to see you then! Laura Rivas Buckeye
Another Trojan horse Editor: The ideal situation for a foreign ideologically based terrorist group is to be able to train within the boundaries of the target country with no fear of reprisal. There are reports of over twenty two such Islamic (Jihad) training camps in this country. If the verification of this by local law enforcement personnel and the years-long recognition by the FBI are to be believed, then Americans are faced with a serious situation. It’s the Trojan Horse strategy and can only exist, under the circumstances, if government turns the other way and allows it. Islamic groups involved here are listed as Muslims of America and Jamaat ul-Fuqre with training camps in 24 listed states. There are numerous criminal violations associated with these groups. One very important issue, besides the threat to our freedom and our lives, is there is no national media coverage or warning to Americans by the government. If not true a strong public denial would be in order, but whether true or not, it merits public knowledge and open investigation to successfully resolve the issue. Reportedly, the FBI has noted a 22-site network of terrorist training camps here and have been concerned about this for over twelve years but their hands are tied. Guess why the cannot act? It’s because our State Deparetment has not declared them to be a foreign terrorist organization. For want of a correct classification they are allowed to train and prepare here and now. Whatever happened to common sense and rational
governmental response to diffuse a potentially explosive situation? Even though you have heard nothing about this from your elected representatives, it should certainly be an important part of the Presidential debates. A nation has the right and obligation to defend itself. There is no morally based excuse for failure to do so. Karl Nelson Goodyear
Mayor fails Editor: I write this letter because I feel it is shameful and an affront to all those individuals who struggle daily with disabilities that the Mayor of Buckeye could not take 2 minutes out the their meeting to read a proclamation to recognize those individuals with disabilities as well as those who advocate for them. Instead the Mayor simply stated that he had signed the proclamation and lets move on. He never mentioned what the proclamation was for and unless you had an agenda in your hand you wouldn’t have known. The explanation received as to why it wasn’t read was because one staff member
FRIENDLY, EXPERT SERVICE FROM YOUR LOCAL WESTSIDE HOME LOAN PROFESSIONALS
needed to leave early and they were concerned over the wind storm knocking out power and microphones. This explanation is not only absurd but it minimizes the struggles of those individuals with disabilities and their struggles are far greater than loosing a microphone. Have had a parent suffer later in life with the physical disabilities of Lou Gehrig’s disease and a wife that works daily with children with disabilities, this failure by the Mayor to take a moment to recognize them, their care givers and advocates is an embarrassment to the City and a direct insult to those individuals who struggle with disabilities. It should be noted however that he did take time at the end of the meeting to allow an announcement that is was public works week. I feel the Mayor owes a public apology to all the individuals with disabilities, including veterans and their advocates their advocates for openly dismissing them at time they should be honored and supported. His lack of action is an insult to them and a poor representation of our City.
Study the candidates Editor: No party has a good option for President. One thing is for certain, we do not need another establishment politician in the White House. However, no matter who gets elected, we, as citizens MUST hold them accountable to US. There is a danger (and John and Gordon will have a field day with this) that this could be the last Presidential election for our country. We have fallen so far down the horrible road of Socialism and Communism that we may never recover. This will be an election of lies, racism, innuendos and Lord knows what else. Study the candidates carefully. ALL THE CANDIDATES. This includes Independents, Libertarians, Green Party, all of them. What we need is to put America back in the hands of the people and not the current politicians who has failed us so miserably. But most importantly, VOTE. If you choose not to, then politely shut up. You have no right to complain. Joe Burmeister Goodyear

Letters (From Page 7)
Yep, he said it Editor: First Rush Limbaugh doesn’t have a clue what he is talking about when it comes to transpeople. Using his own sound bites he now claims that transgender culture is destroying American culture along with liberal society. Mr. Limbaugh has referenced that trans-people are such a small percentage of the population, they should not be counted. If one remembers the original pledge to the allegiance: “I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic, for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all”. In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s requested the words “under god” be added to the original pledge. However, Mr. Limbaugh gives us the impression that to be a “true” conservative is as American as apple pie and one must believe in liberty and justice for all. He claims it is unfair to infringe upon the rights of others to accommodate one person. Therefore, that one person should be eliminated to maintain justice for all. Perhaps, Mr. Limbaugh has a final solution. He quotes “The left attempts to undermine, corrupt, and overthrow elements of our culture and our society” which is pure fallacy. The answer is simple all cultures change, evolve, they move through a process of evolution. Fact is Rush Limbaugh is trying to use trans-phobic hatred and links it to liberalism to somehow improve his falling ratings from disappearing advertisers. He has forgotten that ratings are revenue and he is no longer delivering. Thomas Brosius Phoenix
Open primary confusion Editor: The open primary election
process places for all candidates on ONE ballot allowing ALL registered voter’s to freely select a Republican or a Democrat or a Libertarian or Independent. The two candidates with the most vote’s are then in the fall run off......Districting has no impact on the process. Party’s dislike the system because of shared control and the potential a single party fall run off. The value......all registered voter’s get to participate in every election and isn’t that what elections are all about.......... Virgil Warden Goodyear
Liberal talking points are false Editor: A funny thing happened as I was reading Mr. Flynn’s fairy tale in the View, Of May 18. As usual he listed 10 Liberal talking points of which none are true! Trump will build the Wall. Withdrawing from the worthless UN will make the US stronger. Trump will bring jobs back from Mexico, not mentioned in his story. ISIS will be destroyed because unlike Obama the coward he will pull the trigger. Trump does not want to tighten the restrictions on illegals or refuges he wants to stop the illegal influx COLD! Great for America! As for the hate group LGBT if Mr. Flynn wants the women and children in his family to go to the bathroom with grown men who may or may not be safe, he can bring them to his house! The way the unemployment figures are played with nobody knows the real number, as Mr. Flynn is just quoting the Liberal talking point based on nothing. Common Core is the worse bull crap ever, and he has NO idea how it works, are who wrote it, and how the Obama regime implements it! Here is a clue, as I have been fighting it for years. I have testified several times in front of Legislation. Common Core was written and instituted by the Obama administration. Just like O Care they told us lies, like it was not a mandate. Yet every school that tried to drop it was
hit with a reduction of federal funds. He fails to even mention the tracking by SS and or ID numbers from K-12, 4 years of college, and 2 years in the workplace! This info is held by a third party website subject to being hacked! Please wise up! Elwood Kuentzler Goodyear
My mistake on the water bill Editor: I made a mistake on my last letter to the Editor. I did not realize that the water rates were scheduled to go up on the bill. I also was under the impression that the up charge started at 3000 and now it is 4000. So I’m am sorry for my mistake and any problems it might have caused the City. Just wish they would reinstate The 4th Of July Celebrations. The Cinco parties are nice but not if You Are An American We Want our 4th BACK !
the golden dream of all who know what is better for you than you do — in spite of what you might think. Couldn’t happen, you say? History shows it already happened in the usual list of totalitarian countries, Nazi Germany, China, Soviet Union, Cambodia, Ottoman Turkey, Guatemala, and Uganda to name a few. These countries also have the distinction of murdering many millions of their own citizens after rendering them defenseless through gun control. Registration has also led to confiscation in Australia, Britain, Bermuda, Canada, Cuba, and New Zealand. Couldn’t happen here? Firearm registration and confiscation has already happened in Chicago, California, and New York. And just how safe is “gun-control” Chicago? Most people are confident their own government wouldn’t murder them, that is, until it happens. And then it is too late. Many Jews wouldn’t leave Nazi Germany, refusing to believe they were in any peril. A database of gun owners is a dangerous thing in the hands of power hungry State.

Democrats recognized citizens’ property rights. Imagine RE/MAX, GM or WalMart claiming a loophole because we sold our house, automobile, or personal property at a garage sale or other venue, a fee needed to paid to said businesses, everyone would rightly scream in outrage. So calling this a loophole instead of a Constitutional right is totally dishonest. Your belief a NICS check will prevent ineligible people from purchasing firearms is also false. Just like Sanctuary Cities decided not to follow federal immigration laws to cater to illegal immigrants, some Cities and States have decided not to report ineligible people to NICS. Also the Terrorist No Fly List is simply a secret government list, yep right here in America a secret government list, who’d thought? There’s no criteria to be placed on the No Fly List; no charges filed, no court hearing, or due process. If you’re wrongly placed on this list there’s no provision or due process for you to be removed. Fortunately, and rightly so, this list is not part of a NICS background check as prominent Democrats would like us to believe. Terry Newman Goodyear
So-called ‘gun show loophole’
Loophole not a fact
Editor: Patrick Orr argued that we need to close the so-called, “Gun Show Loophole.” What that really means is making private firearms sales between individuals illegal without a government background check. So you cannot sell (or give) a firearm to your son-in-law or daughter without a background check. Or your neighbor. Why is this a problem? Because the only way to enforce such laws is to have a database of all firearms and who owns them. Otherwise there is no way to know if a firearm changed hands without the required “background check.” Registration of law abiding firearm owners and their firearms is the end game. (Criminals won’t participate in the system.) So why does this matter? Because the end game of registration is confiscation. Total gun control is
Editor: Patrick Orr the only part of your editorial, WVV May 19, that is correct, “Background checks wouldn’t exist at all if it weren’t for the NRA”. Actually the Gun Show Loophole myth started in the late 1970’s, and continued to get louder through the 1980’s as a way to explain or more accurately blame the rise in crime and violence in the Democrat controlled inner cities, instead of blaming their own failed policies. 1993 Democrats passed NICS (National Instant Criminal Background Check System) they specifically included a provision of the 1968 Gun Control Act also passed by Democrats, the exclusion of private sellers and hobbyists, in other words nondealers, NOT IRRESPONSIBLE GUNOWNERS. Even in 1968 and 1993

The body of a Maricopa woman who had been missing for five weeks was located May 25 in a desert area near Tonopah, officials said. Angela Russo, 24, went missing April 19 after a date with a man she met online, police said. Electronic data showed Russo arranged to meet Lashawn Johnson, 25, at his apartment near 54th Avenue and Indian School Road in Phoenix, records state. According to court records, Russo’s phone was last active near the apartment complex, and then activity ceased. During their investigation, Maricopa police interviewed a second resident of the apartment, identified in court records as Claudia Martinez. On May 25, she led police to a desert area near Salome Highway Lashawn and 411th Avenue in Tonopah, Johnson where they found a burned fourdoor sedan that matched the vehicle driven by Russo, records state. A shallow grave was located nearby with a body, and the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office was called in to take over the homicide investigation, records state. The body had characteristics that led detectives to believe it was Russo, records state. During further investigation, detectives learned Martinez picked Johnson up on the evening of April 20 at a convenience store along 411th Avenue, records state. Johnson also took her to the site of the burned vehicle and grave on May 12, but Martinez claimed to have no involvement or knowledge of the homicide, records state. MCSO served a search warrant at their apartment and found “substantial” evidence that suggested it was the scene of the kidnapping and homicide, records state. Detectives also found evidence of a concerted effort to “destroy, sanitize and conceal physical evidence,” records state. Johnson, who was already in jail on an unrelated domestic violence assault warrant, admitted to knowing Russo and talking with her via text message. He also said she was at his apartment April 19 and that he was in the area where her body was found, records state. However, he made up reasons why he was out there, including that he was doing landscaping for a friend, records state. During the interview, Johnson made comments that “his life was over” and said multiple times that he “[expletive] up” and “made a mistake,” records state. He also said he would pray for Russo’s family and was “sorry for their loss.” Johnson faces charges of second-degree murder, kidnapping, tampering with evidence and concealing a dead body, records state. Russo’s cause of death is pending further processing and testing by the Medical Examiner’s Office.

An Avondale woman was sentenced May 25 to spend 30 months in jail and pay back $260,000 she stole from clients in the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for Arizona. Freida Ann Battise-Moore, 55, recently pleaded guilty to theft or embezzlement from an Indian tribal organization, the attorney’s office stated in a release. Battise-Moore, who was a law school graduate and member of the Alabama-Coushatta Indian Tribe, was hired in 2001 by the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community to serve as the court-appointed representative for the tribe’s incapacitated and incompetent members, the attorney’s office stated. She was responsible for handling clients’ financial affairs, including receiving their Social Security and commercial and agricultural lease payments and using them to pay their rent, medical bills and other expenses. In 2006, she began stealing from some of her clients,
Former Goodyear employee accused of defrauding city sports program of $18K by Emily Toepfer assistant editor
A former Goodyear employee is accused of shorting the city almost $18,500 from its adult sports program, according to court records. Ryan Mansfield, 32, of Surprise was arrested May 19 and faces charges of theft, fraudulent schemes and computer tampering, court records state. Mansfield resigned from the city’s Parks and Recreation Department before the theft was discovered in November 2015, said Sherine Zaya, a spokeswoman for the city. According to court record, Ryan Mansfield employees with Parks and Recreation met with the city’s finance department on Nov. 19, 2015, and learned there was a significant shortfall in revenue for adult sports. Further review showed the only account that did not match the previous year’s revenue and expense account totals was adult softball, records state. For the fall 2015 softball league, 24 of the 39 teams were missing from the city’s registration software, records state.

Of the 15 teams registered, only 10 had paid registration fees and the other five had a credit added to their account from the previous season, which staff said was “highly irregular,” records state. All hard copy registration forms were missing, including rosters, schedules, receipt books and payment information, records state. Discrepancies were also found in the 2015 spring and summer softball seasons, records state. None of the teams that paid by check or credit card were able to show that money was taken out of their accounts, and police say it seems the payments were never processed, records state.

and continued undetected until September 2013, when she was fired, the attorney’s office stated. An audit showed Battise-Moore had stolen more than $260,000 from 49 clients and had spent the proceeds on expensive sports tickets and gambling, the attorney’s office stated. “Ms. Battise-Moore violated the trust of the community and its members, so the community petitioned the court that she be incarcerated for her crime,” said Delbert Ray Sr., president of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community. “The community takes this matter very seriously and has taken the necessary steps that it will not happen again.” U.S. District Judge Steven P. Logan enhanced BattiseMoore’s sentence in recognition of the vulnerability of the victims and the fact that she had abused a position of trust, the attorney’s office stated. The investigation in the case was conducted by the Salt River Police Department. The prosecution was handled by Dominic Lanza, assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Arizona.

Goodyear family stung by bees on evening hike
PUSH, PULL OR DRAG IT
Officials warn about aggressive bees on Estrella hiking trail by Emily Toepfer assistant editor
Five people were attacked by bees while hiking Sunday night near their home in Goodyear, officials said. Firefighters responded at about 7:15 p.m. after it was reported that several people had been stung near 183rd Avenue and Westar Drive in the Estrella community, said Battalion Chief Russ Braden, a spokesman with the Goodyear Fire Department. Two adults and three children were hiking when the bees attacked, and they were able to run home and call 911, Braden said. The family was transported to Abrazo West Campus in stable condition, he said. A Goodyear police officer was also stung Monday morning while collecting some of the family’s clothing from the trail, Braden said. A warning sign was placed at the entrance to the trail head to warn about the aggressive bees, he said. Emily Toepfer can be reached at etoepfer@westvalleyview.com or on Twitter @EmilyToepfer.

Goodyear firefighters extinguished a fire that started Tuesday morning on the roof of a new police building under construction near 145th Avenue and Van Buren Street, officials said. Crews responded at about 6:45 a.m. and found a fire on the roof involving materials waiting to be installed, said Battalion Chief Russ Braden, a spokesman with the Goodyear Fire Department. “They quickly extended a hose line to the roof and extinguished the fire,” Braden said. Construction workers were on site at the time, but no injuries were reported, he said. Emily Toepfer can be reached at etoepfer@westvalleyview.com or on Twitter @EmilyToepfer.

REAL RESULTS, NO CONTRACTS SATISFACTION GUARANTEED
by Glenn Gullickson staff writer
A $254 million spending plan for the next fiscal year will raise Goodyear’s city budget by $18 million, or 7.5 percent over the previous year. The Goodyear City Council approved the tentative budget on May 23, but without the support of Councilman Bill Stipp, who said it represents the biggest increase in operating costs in years. The bulk of the budget — $108.7 million, or 43 percent — goes to operations, according to city budget documents. The budget for the fiscal year that starts July 1 also assigns $8.7 million to one-time expenses primarily resulting from supplemental budget requests, according to Lauri Wingenroth, the city’s budget and research manager. The budget includes $72.8 million for capital improvements, which funds major facilities and infrastructure, up $16 million over last year, Wingenroth said. The budget also lists $27.4 million for debt service payments on projects financed through bond sales and $36.3 million for contingency funds. Stipp said the city’s practice of basing the operations budget on what had been spent the previous year creates a “use it or lose it” mentality among the city’s department managers. “We need to ask more questions and challenge our staff,” he said. Stipp said he was torn about his vote. “This budget represents us giving up on lowering taxes,” he said. “I claim to be fiscally conservative. This, for me, is a put up or shut up moment.” Mayor Georgia Lord, who joined five other council members to approve the budget, said the city couldn’t maintain services if taxes were lowered. “I don’t see the formula for it,” she said. “The people of Goodyear love their quality of life.” City officials said principles guiding creation of the budget included maintaining what the city has, public safety and attracting, developing and retaining a skilled workforce.
“This budget represents us giving up on lowering taxes. I claim to be fiscally conservative. This, for me, is a put up or shut up moment.” — Bill Stipp Goodyear councilman
Personnel expenses are budgeted at $52.7 million, with salary increases of 3.5 percent for employees not covered by police and fire contracts. The budget adds 17 new positions to the city’s current workforce of 548 employees. Ten of the new jobs at a cost of about $2.1 million will be in the police department, including five police officers, an investigator and a sergeant. During a budget work session in April, Goodyear Police Chief Jerry Geier told the City Council the additional police squad is critical. He said adding officers will reduce overtime, increase safety and allow officers to be more proactive. Some council members expressed support for another new police squad that could be funded in the 2018 budget. The city will also hire new workers for the finance department, human resources, parks department and public works. The staff additions means the city will employ about seven people per 1,000 residents in the city with a population of 77,776, according to budget documents. Other spending increases include funds for three replacement fire trucks, patrol vehicles, police radios and other equipment. The budget calls for an increase of $650,000 annually for a fund to cover improvements at Goodyear Ballpark required by contracts with the baseball teams that use the
facility for spring training — the Cleveland Indians and Cincinnati Reds. By adding the money to $250,000 previously budgeted annually, Wingenroth said the city is being proactive to have funds available to maintain the ballpark as it ages. The capital improvement budget includes funds for completing the first phase of construction of the city’s police operations center, two traffic signals, street projects and water and sewer improvements. A long-term capital improvement plan reveals a timeline for a new park, starting with a site plan to be completed in the next year for a 100-acre parcel at Yuma Road and Estrella Parkway. The timeline indicates that a recreation center could open in fiscal year 2020, with an aquatics center and 30-acre park opening in fiscal year 2021. The funding for the park is part of a draft 10-year $361.6 million capital improvement plan that includes two new fire stations, expansion of the police operations center, street improvements and water and sewer projects. The city expects to start the new fiscal year with balances of $102 million and anticipates collecting $190.3 million in revenues. Sales taxes are the biggest source of revenues at $42.3 million, with other funds coming from property taxes, state-shared revenues, utility use fees and impact fees. The city will realize an increase of $2.1 million in state-shared revenues as the result of the mid-decade census, Wingenroth said. Property taxes of $13.2 million will be collected from a combined levy of $1.86 per $100 of assessed valuation, which is down slightly from the previous year. That means the Goodyear portion of the property tax bill on a $100,000 home will be $186.23, down 77 cents from the previous year. City officials noted that while property tax revenues have grown in recent years, they are still below the high collected in fiscal year 2010. The council is expected to give the budget final approval at its June 27 meeting. Glenn Gullickson can be reached at ggullickson@westvalleyview.com.
Capital projects drive Avondale budget increase Fiscal year 2016-17 budget up 15% to $204 million by Glenn Gullickson staff writer
A 15 percent increase in Avondale’s city budget for the next year is being attributed primarily to a $20 million jump for capital improvement projects the city plans to undertake. The Avondale City Council has given approval to the 2016-17 tentative budget
of $204 million. That compares to $176.6 million the previous year. The council is expected to give final approval to the budget at its meeting on June 20. During City Council budget discussions, Abbe Yacoben, the city’s finance and budget director, said the budget reflected “moderate” revenue growth and service improvements. She said the budget was tied to the city’s strategic plan linking budget requests to council goals and initiatives.
No Credit? Bad Credit? NOT A PROBLEM!!
The budget for the fiscal year that starts July 1 includes $84.8 million in capital improvement projects, up from $64.8 million the previous year. The capital improvements budget includes $15 million in street projects, $16 million in sewer projects and $10.7 million in water system upgrades. The operating fund includes a base budget of $87.7 million, compared to $88.6 million last year, plus $7.7 million in supplemental requests for new spending. The budget for the next year also
includes $11.9 million for repaying bonds and $11.8 million in contingency funds. Public works is the city’s biggest budget line at $36.5 million for the next year, followed by police at $23 million and fire and medical at $11 million. The police budget includes $1.2 million to cover the costs of seven new officers, which will allow the department to create a new night patrol squad. (See Budget on Page 12)

Budget (From Page 11) The additional police officers are among 13 full-time and one half-time new positions in the city workforce that the budget would fund, which City Manager David Fitzhugh told the council is the biggest increase to the city’s workforce in years. The police department also requested $54,000 as part of a three-year project to upgrade its tasers. Fitzhugh said the budget prepares the city for an increase in development activity. A $2 million economic opportunity program is meant to spur development by providing subsidies to cover up to 20 percent of development impact fees, according to Yacoben. The budget includes an additional $1,089,400 for salary increases of up to 4 percent for city employees not covered by contracts for police and fire personnel. The $6.2 million budget for parks, recreation and libraries includes $100,000 for the Billy Moore Days celebration, which the City Council is considering reviving. The parks budget has new spending of $56,000 for holiday lighting on Western Avenue in Historic Avondale and a $30,000 increase in the parks water fund for water needs at a splash pad that will open at Friendship Park later this year. The human resources department’s $3.6 million includes $187,000 for a study of the city’s compensation structure. The budget also provides $190,000 in new funds to expand the ZOOM transportation service to a new 10-mile route that serves the northern portion of the city. Other major budget lines include $7 million for neighborhood and family services, $6.5 million for development and engineering, $2.5 million for economic development, $2.5 million for community relations and public affairs, $2.3 million for information technology, $1.4 million for city administration and $1.4 million for city court. The city anticipates $180 million in revenues, with 25 percent coming in taxes, 20 percent from charges for services and 17 percent from intergovernmental revenues, such as state revenue sharing. Five percent of revenues comes from development fees and 3 percent from property taxes. The city expects a 4.5 percent increase in sales tax collections and a 4 percent increase in state-shared sales taxes. Yacoben said the budget assumes a 2 percent increase in population, which should drive increased revenues. Increased water and sewer fees imposed by the council this year also have an impact on revenues, she said. The city expects to start the fiscal year with a fund balance of $102 million, Yacoben said. Yacoben said property evaluation increases will allow the city to reduce the combined property tax levy from $1.75 to $1.70 per $100 of assessed evaluation, making the city tax on a $100,000 home $170.

Puppies rescued from storm drain by Emily Toepfer assistant editor
Nine puppies less than a week old were rescued May 18 from a storm drain near 99th Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road in Phoenix after their mother was found wandering around in search of food. Animal Control Officer Abigail Wilimovsky with the Avondale Police Department responded to the scene at about noon and was able to catch the mother dog with a trap. The puppies could be heard about 100 feet away in a storm drain under a grate that was welded shut, said Andy Gallo, an emergency animal medical technician with the Arizona Humane Society, who also responded for the rescue with fellow technician Cynthia McGuire. “Initially, we couldn’t get the grate off because we didn’t realize it was welded around the edges,” Gallo said. Employees from a nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care tried to pry it open with crowbars, but it didn’t work, he said. A crew from the city of Phoenix was finally able to break the weld, allowing them to reach the puppies. “We were worried a flood would come through or rain would get down there,” Gallo said. “All it would take is one quick little flood and it’d wash them clean out.” The mother likely gave birth to the puppies in the drain, Gallo said. “She had been leaving and going upwards of a mile away just to try and find something to eat and then come back to her puppies,” he said. “She was really thin, too, so if we had not been able to get out there and get everybody, I think mom would have ended up eventually dying of starvation or dehydration.” All 10 dogs appear to be healthy, Gallo said. “They were letting out the tiniest little whimpers, completely blind and just sort of nosing around in the dirt,” he said. “It was very cute.” They were transferred to the Second Chance Animal Trauma Hospital, which treats more than 11,000 homeless animals each year, said Bretta Nelson, a spokeswoman for the Arizona Humane Society.
As soon as the mother was reunited with her puppies in the kennel, she immediately curled up with them, Gallo said. “We thought she was going to be very fearful and possibly a little aggressive, because she was growling and had to be caught in a trap, but by the time I got her back to the shelter, she was actually very soft and kept coming in to me to seek safety,” he said. The puppies will go to an Arizona Humane Society Foster Hero home and likely be up for adoption in about seven to eight weeks after they are spayed and neutered and receive vaccinations, Nelson said.

material. The site also lists many different library events and activities, most of which are air conditioned. “I first did it last year over the summer because I didn’t have much to do other than walking through the desert,” Raya said, “It’s way more comfortable to read than do that.” The program offers many different incentives for entering, including different games and activities. “My Internet isn’t great, so sometimes I’d just read instead.” Raya said. One of the highlights of the program is that the libraries provide everything needed for it if you don’t have your own books or Internet access. Computers at the library can be used for logging points, and, of course, you can still read your own books if you prefer. “I usually read my own books, or borrow someone else’s.” Raya said. “I’ve even gotten my sister to start on it.” The program starts today and runs until Aug. 1.

by Shane McOwen staff writer
Welcome to the Business Briefcase, readers. Glad to have you aboard on this fine June day. We’re officially to the halfway month of the year, but not the exact halfway point. Some quick math says it’s July 2 right at midnight, thanks to 2016 being a leap year. Did you know Kentucky was admitted as the 15th state on this date in 1792? Happy birthday, Kentucky! Did you also know that the first known written reference to a
Shane McOwen
batch of Scotch whisky was recorded June 1 in 1495? Some monks in Fife, Scotland, were apparently ordered to make the drink by the Scottish king. That’s one decree I’d be sure to follow. It’d be embarrassing to get in trouble for screwing up the king’s booze. Let’s get down to business. First up, a few sporting goods stores are heading out. Sport Chalet at 15277 W. McDowell Road in Goodyear is no more. The retailer held its going-out-ofbusiness sale over the last few weeks, and has closed the doors for good. If you still have a gift card for Sport Chalet, don’t fret. The funds can be transferred over to one of Sport Chalet’s sister stores, Eastern Mountain Sports or Bob’s Stores through July 29. Unfortunately, neither has a brick and mortar location in Arizona, but the cards will still work online. For information on transferring funds, call 888-801-9162.
Staying in the sporting realm, Sports Authority has put up its going-out-of-business signs in Avondale, 10050 W. McDowell Road. The retailer chain filed for bankruptcy in March, and is expected to close all 450 stores nationwide by the end of August. Lastly, I’ve received a few emails asking about what’s going in at the old Bradley Academy on Dysart Road, south of Riley Drive. The Avondale Economic Development team said the building is in the process of tenant improvements for a life skills center/school. The city wasn’t able to comment on what will go in at this time, but as soon as it crosses the Briefcase desk, I’ll pass it along to you. As always, send questions or tips to smcowen@ westvalleyview.com. Until next time, be well, everyone.

RANDEN GARRISON of Buckeye throws a ball to first base in warmups May 28 during the Arizona Baseball Coaches Association Division IV/V senior All-Star game at Goodyear Ballpark. Garrison had an RBI triple and scored a run, helping the North all-stars to a 20-7 victory.
North stars blast South in D-IV/V game Buckeye trio all contribute to big win by Casey Pritchard sports editor
Buckeye’s baseball team went all the way to the Division IV state semifinals this season, but its players weren’t done. Three of the athletes that helped get the Hawks there had one more chance to shine May 28 in the Arizona Baseball Coaches Association Division IV/V senior All-Star game, and all three contributed mightily as the North won 20-7 at Goodyear Ballpark. The Buckeye trio of Jacob Colville, Randen Garrison and Andrew Roque combined to go 3 for 6 at the plate with three RBI and six runs scored. “It was good to be able to represent the school one last time while I was with Andrew and Randen, just going out there and having fun,” Colville said.
Garrison echoed the sentiments. The Buckeye trio sat the bench until the fifth inning, “It was super fun, laid back, another chance to except for Roque, who got to be a courtesy runner in put on the jersey before we have to hang it up and the second inning and scored on a two-out single by move on to college,” Garrison said. “It was super Morenci’s Miguel Ruiz. fun, another day at the park and a great Garrison got his first of two at bats in environment.” the top of the fifth, but he popped out to On the other side, the South was the catcher on a 1-0 pitch.

said. “After that, I think, is when he got that double play, finally settled down. I think it was just more nerves than anything with him.” Offensively, Garcia had two at bats. He lined out sharply to first in the third inning and struck out in the sixth. In addition to pitching, he played three innings at shortstop. Valdez said the team had instant camaraderie. “We held a practice Wednesday, and even for the kids that came to practice, it was instant,” Valdez said. “I think they all show that same passion for the game, which kind of brought them together.” For both Garrison and Colville, they were glad to represent Buckeye one last time. “It was tremendous,” Garrison said. “We knew what we had to do. There were a lot of players, so we just went in there trying to represent Buckeye one last time, show everybody we’re going to leave our mark on Buckeye.” “It was good to be able to go out there and show we could compete at a higher level and contribute just as much as anyone else, and we can represent the school that way,” Colville added.

He threw it, I saw it and hit it as hard as I could.” Garrison would eventually score. Colville got his first at bat in the sixth, reaching on an error. Roque and Colville got to hit again in the seventh inning, and both delivered. Roque singled to left and scored, and Colville drilled a hard single off the third baseman, plating two runs. “It was good to get a hit and drive in a couple runs, and it really added to the experience of the all-star game,” Colville said. Roque would bat one more time in the inning, grounding out to shortstop. The seventh-inning onslaught, which lasted 11 batters, came against Garcia. He allowed five hits and two walks, but was also hurt by an error. In the middle of the inning, Valdez made a trip to the mound to try to calm Garcia down. “I just went out there and told him, ‘Hey, this is a bigger stage than what you’re used to, just go out there and have fun, do what you do best,’” Valdez

DeNae Chatman named 1st team all-state Millennium junior blasts 19 homers this season by Casey Pritchard sports editor
Millennium softball didn’t make the state playoffs this season, but it wasn’t from a lack of effort by DeNae Chatman. The junior shortstop batted .546 and belted 19 home runs, helping her earn a pair of postseason accolades. Chatman was named the Division II, Section V Player of the Year, and she earned Division II first team allstate. “It just shows all the hard work paid off,” Chatman said. Millennium coach Robynn Lee, who has been there the past two seasons, said she wasn’t surprised Chatman garnered the honors. “I feel like she’s one of the kids that works SOFTBALL hard every single day,” Lee said. “She takes a lot of time with her hitting, she’s extremely coachable and if she makes a mistake at practice, she really works herself through it to get better, get stronger. I would say both years she had all of the makings to be this successful, this year it just clicked a little more.” Chatman said she practices her batting at least five times per week. “I go to a hitting coach on the weekends, but most of it is on my own,” she said. “I work mostly on inside and outside, and contact to the ball, working through it.” In addition to her 19 homers, Chatman also had 16 doubles, 48 RBI and scored 35 runs. “She’s a very gifted hitter,” Lee said. “She sees the ball extremely well and she’s able to react to it on her instinct. She always puts really good swings on the ball, and they go when she hits. She has so much power. “We faced tougher pitching this year, and I feel like she does very well with the tougher pitching. Most girls would be the opposite, but when she’s faced with a stronger pitcher, she hits the ball even better. She definitely rises to her opponents.” Chatman also had a strong sophomore season, batting .538 last year. She had 15 doubles and seven triples to go along with 12 homers. She upped that mark by seven this season. “I’m not sure if 19 is a school record; it probably has to be,” Lee said. “I have not seen a number like that in any high school season as long as I can remember. She had a couple games where she had multiple home runs, and she had one with three homers in one game.” In addition to her hitting prowess and strong defense at shortstop, Chatman also pitches for the Lady Tigers. “She’s a really strong pitcher, but defensively she’s so solid at shortstop that it made more sense to leave her at shortstop,” Lee said.
Arizona State Chatman has already verbally committed to Arizona State University for 2017, and is excited to join the Lady (See Chatman on Page 21)

really good to put on the uniform one more time and represent my school.” Walker has signed on to play at South Mountain Community College. “I’m trying to get on the summer team,” Walker said. “If that doesn’t happen, I’ll play with my club team.” Wyman pitched one inning and finished the game in left field. The Wolverine struck out one and walked one over a scoreless frame. “The walk was a little touchy,” Wyman said. “I wasn’t throwing the ball as well as I should have to that guy, but I came back to the third batter and hit my spots, and did what I needed to do.” Wyman said he was thankful for the opportunity to compete one last time in Tolleson maroon and gold. “It feels great to be given the opportunity to come out on such a big scale and just have a good tie and play hard to represent Tolleson,” Wyman said. “Hopefully, [I] showed the good coaching Coach [Scott Richardson] has given us.” Joya went 0 for 1 at the plate, but drew a walk in his second at bat.

Chatman (From Page 18) Sun Devils, she said. “I already know most of the girls on the team, so it’ll be easy for the transition,” Chatman said. “I have a good relationship with the coaches. A lot of my friends and girls I’ve played with are going, and I’ve been to a lot of camps for the softball clinics, so I know all the girls already.” Getting to ASU was a long process, though. Chatman went to recruiting camps when she was younger, and also wrote letters to the school. “They came out in the summer and watched me play, and it moved on from there,” she said. Chatman said she needs to work on her fielding and throwing by the time she goes to ASU because she would like to be a starter. She already has the leadership ability, Lee said. “She was our leader, team-chosen leader, as well as coach-selected leader,” Lee said. “Every day she showed up
for practice with a desire to get better. Knowing where she’s at and how she accomplished all these goals already, she’s not satisfied. She wants to continue to get better, get stronger and continue to learn anything a coach can give her.” Millennium finished 13-16 and had a 5-6 section record. The Lady Tigers were 31st in the power-points rankings, but only the top 24 got into state. “I think this year we were closer as a team; I think we played better together, we just weren’t able to put it all together,” Chatman said. Chatman will look to eclipse her own home run mark next season and try to lead the Lady Tigers into the playoffs. “I always try to beat my own records, but I think just working on getting base hits and helping my team out, the stats will show it,” Chatman said.

Would you kill to own the Saints? by Shane McOwen sports writer
What did I learn in the world of sports this week? I’ve learned paying for a ticket has its advantages over being able to set the prices. A lot of people would kill to be able to own their favorite sports team, but the Benson family is turning this hypothetical into a bizarre reality. Tom Benson, the 88-year-old owner of the New Orleans Saints and New Orleans Pelicans, is in the midst of a legal battle with his daughter and two grandchildren over the fate of his two franchises once he’s gone. According to Benson, the heirs have tried to speed up the process a little. Benson said his family tried to kill him in testimony. In court! He said this to a judge, in real life. There was no hard evidence presented, but it’s safe to say the waters are a little choppy on the family yacht. Benson announced his intensions to leave the franchises to his current, and third, wife in January 2015. His family responded by filing a lawsuit seeking to declare Benson mentally incompetent. Whew, this has future miniseries written all over it. I just need to learn how to get the television rights to produce this train wreck. I wonder if I can snag an invite to the Benson Thanksgiving this year. Another thing I learned is it’s inconceivable to think that apparel providers for professional sports team know the meaning of the word uniform anymore. It’s like the line famously used by Inigo Montoya in The Princess Bride: “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” I’ve learned that uniform outfitters have officially stopped putting forth any measurable effort to do a good job. It’s a trivial thing to be upset about, but it’s crossed a line. Uniforms have a point. They’re more than identifiers during competition, they hold the legacy of a franchise. It’s not a long-winded radio broadcast, or a stat sheet that tells the story of a team, it’s the Yankee pinstripes, the green and white of the Celtics that first come to mind. Uniforms are supposed to evoke emotion upon the spectator. Just a glimpse should bring out former triumphs and failures and all the history in between. The design should always mean something to the team. So, thanks Nike, for putting the English and U.S. national soccer teams in the exact same uniform. There are slight differences in some minor color usage, but
it’s the exact same template. Did the execs at Nike think the U.S. and England share such a similar soccer history that they needed to look nearly identical? Someone needs to take away the stamps they’re using to mail in these designs. I also learned, after reading multiple scouting reports for the upcoming NBA draft, that I should ship any future children of mine off to Europe if they want to make it in the NBA. Apparently, you have to put an ocean between a player and the vast majority of scouts to avoid your game being ripped to shreds. Ben Simmons, the unanimous Shane McOwen No. 1 prospect last fall before the college season began, had a great season. He dominated across the board, with his jump shot looking like his only weakness. When the season ended, he was dragged across the coals for lacking “competitive fire” and “not caring more about winning and losing.” Whether this label is fair or not is debatable, but either way, it might have cost him $1.5 million dollars over the first three years of his career. With the NBA rookie salary scale, that’s the difference between the first and second pick in the draft. Simmons would have never been hit this hard if he would have played in Europe or stayed in his native Australia instead of coming to the states to play at LSU. Sounds like a no-brainer to me. Finally, I learned that baseball never disappoints. I covered two all-star high school baseball games Sunday, and both ended in ties. The latter featured eight batters plunked by pitchers. Eight! While I checked my phone to calculate the odds of all that happening, I came across another gem: a game featuring 40 runs. Arizona State’s baseball team, which will make the postseason, mind you, surrendered 31 runs in its regular season finale Sunday against Southern California. USC tallied 30 hits and 11 walks, and scored at least two runs in each of the first six innings. It was 27-5 with a third of the game remaining. Sun Devils coach Tracy Smith told reporters the game wasn’t worth talking about. I wholeheartedly disagree! It’s not every day a baseball team can blame its defense for giving up four touchdowns and a field goal. But hey, nine runs on the offensive end is not a bad day. Just keep looking at the positives.

All-Star
The Westview infielder made big contributions to the Knights’ 10-win season, hitting .284 and leading the team with five triples. “I was kind of shocked [to be asked to play]” Joya said. “I thought senior night was my last game. I’m thankful to come out here and play in this jersey one more time.” Joya is planning on trying out at GCC next season, he said. Keanini went 0 for 2 at the plate, but pitched well. He gave up two singles, but retired the side without allowing a run. “I was excited, happy to be out here playing again,” Keanini said. “I felt really good [on the mound], keeping it low in the zone. I was trying to stay as low as possible to keep them from hitting the ball.” Keanini has scheduled a workout with the University of New Mexico in June, in hopes to make the team. “We’ll see how that works out, and if not, I’ll probably stay here and play juco,” he said. Both rosters were selected by the Arizona Baseball Coaches Association. The pool was selected from the team’s with coaches active in the AZBCA.

Grocery delivery company opens in Buckeye LivinGroceries, a grocery delivery company based out of Buckeye, has recently opened up, and offers service to the entire Valley. LivinGroceries delivers from Buckeye to as far east as Tempe and Scottsdale, and north to Loop 101. Avondale, Buckeye, Goodyear, Litchfield Park and Tolleson are all covered by the Buckeye business. Orders can be picked up from any local grocery store and delivered for a flat rate of $15, plus the total of the order, within one to five hours. Owner Joao Diaz said he came up with the idea to start a grocery delivery service two years ago when his son was born. He was working and going to school full time, and was trying to take care of his new family. “Grocery shopping for me was really difficult,” Diaz said. “I had maybe an hour a week to actually go grocery shopping. I always wished there was a service for me, because I just didn’t have the time. That’s where the idea came from.” Diaz said he and his wife saved up money for a year to launch the business, and went fully operational with co-founders Alvaro Pacheco and Iris Franco in October 2015. LivinGroceries also offers an express delivery option for $20. Express delivery will get the groceries from store to door within one to three hours. Express delivery ends at 3 p.m. Two subscription payment options are available, $30 for three monthly deliveries or $55 for six deliveries. The monthly subscription plan also includes unlimited restaurant delivery from any restaurant in the Valley for $8.99 per order. Orders can be made on the company’s website, www. livingroceries.com, or by email at order@livingroceries.com. Business hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. For information, visit www.livingroceries.com, email support@livingroceries or call 602-540-2534.
