For the dogs West Valley volunteers assemble beds for animal shelter in Phoenix by Chris Caraveo staff writer

A few more dogs at a Maricopa County animal shelter have new beds to sleep on. Make that 65. Volunteers from the Buckeye Union High School District helped purchase, deliver and assemble beds for dogs last month at Maricopa County Animal Care & Control. “It was great to see the dogs excited about a new bed,” said Marie Buquicchio, a special education teacher at Youngker High School. “They know!”

Buquicchio organized the endeavor after she and her three sons hosted a “Mutt Strut” at the shelter. About 20 people from BUHSD joined them in walking about 60 dogs on a path around the shelter. The group noticed some of the dogs were laying on concrete inside their individual kennels. So they decided to take up a collection to buy beds for the dogs. Buquicchio mass emailed the school district, stating what she wanted to do. And people donated. With money in hand, (See Dogs on Page 5)

It’s time to get ready to say goodbye to Litchfield Elementary School District Superintendent Julianne Lein and welcome Jodi Gunning to fill her shoes. Lein, who led the district for more than a decade, will serve her last year as superintendent during the 2017-18 school year, which will mark her 11th year in that position. She will retire in the summer of 2018. “This role has undoubtedly been my most challenging and rewarding,” Lein said. “I am humbled to have been given such Julianne Lein a special opportunity. Whatever success I have achieved has been thanks to our passionate team of nearly 1,300 employees and the supportive community members who partner with us to build strong minds for a strong future.” According to the American Association of School Administrators, the average tenure for a Jodi Gunning superintendent is five to six years. The Litchfield Elementary School District has proven itself to be home to long-serving superintendents as Lein has served twice the average, and her predecessor, Tom Heck, served four times the average spending nearly 20 years in the position. “Dr. Heck and Dr. Lein devoted their professional lives to protecting the culture and achievement of [the district],” Gunning said. “I’m grateful for their leadership and am mindful that we are walking on the shoulders of giants as we pivot toward the next 100 years of excellence. It’s an honor to build on their impressive success.” If the pattern continues, Gunning will be another long-time serving superintendent. “All signs point toward continued success for Litchfield Elementary School District. Our ‘A’ rated district is celebrating its centennial anniversary with highly qualified teachers in a loyal and supportive community,” Lein said. “I am confident in the talent and commitment of our Governing Board, teachers, staff and community.” After an intricate process, the Governing Board selected Gunning to become superintendent. The Governing Board issued a survey to the staff and community to identify key traits and (See Leader on Page 5)

1 dead in officer-involved shooting 2 bodies found in View report

A man died after an officer-involved shooting in Avondale June 3, according to police. The incident occurred at about 8 p.m. near the intersection of Thomas Road and 107th Avenue. According to the Glendale Police Department, which took over the investigation, Avondale Police Department officers responded to a report of a man with a gun at a home. Upon arrival, officers safely removed the occupants from the residence, while a man remained on the back

patio, according to police. Officials identified the man as Donald Lee Cramer. Avondale officers attempted negotiations at great length for a peaceful surrender, Glendale police said. But Cramer then pointed a firearm at the officers. “In fear for his life, an Avondale officer fired his weapon,” the release states. Cramer was transported to a local hospital in lifethreatening condition, where he later died. No officers were injured. The investigation is ongoing.

his lower left leg while traveling. The man exited the freeway and was transported to a local hospital.

Woman pleads guilty to terrorism charges View report

A woman pleaded guilty to terrorism and weapons misconduct charges after attempting to help her husband build an explosive at a prison in Buckeye, according to a release. Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich announced June 2 that Michelle Marie Bastian pleaded guilty to terrorism and conspiracy to commit misconduct involving weapons. On May 1, 2016, and Oct. 12, 2016, Bastian plotted to commit an act of terrorism at the Arizona State Prison Complex-Lewis in Buckeye. Her husband, Thomas Bastian, is an inmate at the prison.

Two bodies were found in canals near Loop 101 in a span of 12 hours, according to Phoenix police. On Monday morning, the Phoenix Fire Department retrieved the body of a woman from a canal near 95th Avenue and McDowell Road, east of Loop 101. Officials pronounced her dead at the scene.

Goodyear man’s sentencing postponed View report

A Goodyear man who pleaded guilty to a double murder in Sun City Grand had his sentencing hearing postponed, according to a court official. Andrew Lauro was scheduled to be sentenced June 5 for his involvement in the 2016 murders of Barbara Leslie and Ruth Schwed. Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Erin Otis moved the sentencing to Sept. 1 because of a timing issue, according to a spokeswoman from the Maricopa County Andrew Lauro Attorney’s Office. Lauro pleaded guilty in May to two counts of first-degree murder and one count of first-degree burglary. Montez Wright III, the other suspect in the murders, has yet to stand trial.

characteristics that are wanted in a new superintendent, said Shelly Hornback, district spokeswoman, adding the board received nearly 600 responses. “The Governing Board aligned the survey results with applicant information and then examined eligible applicants in an extensive interview process. The search process culminated with four finalists participating in a full day of district tours and panel interviews with staff and community stakeholders,” Hornback said. LESD Governing Board President Steven Yamamori said the successful search process was inclusive and transparent. “Thank you for entrusting us with the unique and exciting opportunity to hire a new superintendent,” Yamamori said. “Our students will benefit greatly from this unique year of transition that will blend Dr. Lein’s experience with Mrs. Gunning’s innovative ideas and deep commitment to our students and staff.” Gunning’s contract will be approved at the next regular board meeting on June 15, Hornback said, adding that Gunning will serve alongside Lein as a planning superintendent until Lein’s retirement. “I am humbled and deeply honored to lead such a talented and committed team of teachers and staff. This is an exciting opportunity to build on 100 years of educational excellence and take our ‘A’ rated district to new heights,” Gunning said. “With nearly 12,000 students in our growing district, I’m excited to devote my passion and talent to the academic, social and emotional development of every single child we have the privilege of serving.” Gunning was hired by Heck and started as a teacher in the district, Lein said, adding she is pleased with the board’s choice. “Mrs. Gunning and I have been friends and colleagues for 15 years,” Lein said. “She was a teacher when I became principal at Litchfield Elementary School. She is bright, personable and deeply committed to children. It’s been a joy to watch Mrs. Gunning grow and I am confident she will successfully embrace this new challenge with enthusiasm, creativity and a strong sense of teamwork.” As far as retirement goes, Lein said she’ll take it one day at a time. “Of course I’m excited about the opportunity to spend more time with friends and family. Napping and shopping are high priorities, too,” Lein said. “Many people do not realize that my husband and I moved here long before I worked here so that our children could attend Litchfield schools. I’ll certainly remain a friend of the district and look forward to lending support when it is needed.”

Buquicchio and others bought about 65 “Coolaroo” beds made of a metal frame with a mesh bedding. Each costs about $21. The group delivered and assembled the beds May 25 at the shelter off 27th Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road in Phoenix. “The shelter is always in need of helping hands, and just dropping them off unassembled beds would just inundate them with more work and the beds would not get to the dogs in a timely fashion,” Buquicchio said. “So we grabbed our tools and headed over!” Not everyone who donated was at the shelter to distribute the beds. Ten people, including Buquicchio, spent about four hours assembling the beds. Afterward, Buquicchio, the only shelter volunteer other than her sons, was the only one allowed to open and enter the kennels to put the beds in. However, the others helped look around for kennels that needed beds. Buquicchio and her sons got involved with the shelter because of their love for dogs. They saw the need to help and signed up. Despite the distance between Buckeye and south Phoenix, they make sure to walk and play with the dogs, clean kennels and give the dogs human interaction. “The walks and interaction keep them social, therefore, adoptable,” Buquicchio said. “They get a little stir crazy cooped up in the kennels, so it is extremely important for them to get out.” Buquicchio would like to create a club at each school in the district to raise awareness of the needs of shelter animals and spaying, neutering, etc. The clubs would help raise funds to purchase food, treats, toys and other items to donate to the shelter. They would also take students to the shelter to introduce them to the “rescue” life. “It was bittersweet giving the dogs the beds,” Buquicchio said. “It was great to know that they would be comfortable, but absolutely heart-wrenching to leave them in the kennels. They get so excited when people come to the kennel, their soulful eyes burn right through you, just begging you to take them. It is brutal to leave them there, lock the door and walk away as they cry and whine for you to come back. The saddest thing I ever had to do. But, knowing they are safe, fed, cared for and now, comfortable in a new bed makes it better.”

OUR VIEWPOINT

PRIGGEE’S OPINION — www.miltpriggee.com

EDITORIAL

Merge ahead, not now, wait, wait, wait, now! How frustrating is it to enter a construction zone, see signs saying “left lane closed ahead” and merge into the right lane only to have a bunch of speedracers whiz by and get over at the last second, well ahead of you? You did the right thing. You got over when the signs said the lane was ending. You got in line! And these selfish fools are not only cutting in front of you, but they’re also causing a backup. Right? Maybe not. Turns out, maybe we’re the fools who have been causing the backups. The Arizona Department of Transportation is pushing a style of merging in construction zones called “zipper merging.” What is zipper merging, you ask? To zipper merge, drivers stay in their respective lanes basically right up until one of the lanes ends and then take turns merging into the open lane. Signs tell drivers “use both lanes,” “merge ahead,” “take turns merging” and “merge here.” ADOT has posted a video explaining the zipper merge at http://azdot.gov/media/ blog/posts/2016/02/11/adot-tries-out-a-different-method-formerging. It’s got a great little animated YouTube clip at the end demonstrating the zipper merge. Everyone done watching? Good, please continue reading. Looks scary, doesn’t it? What if it’s your turn to merge but no one lets you in? Let’s be honest, early mergers, how many of us have violated the “following too closely” law to keep those selfish fools from getting in front of us? We’ve conditioned ourselves to “not let them in!” But ADOT says it’s working. It says it actually keeps traffic from backing up because “as you oscillate back and forth and you build that momentum, you significantly reduce the length of backup because you’re using both lanes” and “keeping traffic in both lanes longer enhances safety by reducing the speed differential between the lanes.” ADOT launched the zipper merge pilot program more than a year ago between State Routes 83 and 90 east of Tucson, and at the time said it might spread to the rest of the state. Well, that time has come. Anyone heading eastbound on Interstate 10 east of Tonopah through 10 p.m. Thursday will find out for themselves if the new technique really works. ADOT’s employing it there for some repair work on the Hassayampa River bridge (milepost 104.7). To be successful, it obviously takes much cooperation on all drivers’ parts, something we honestly can’t fathom happening. But ADOT says it’s working, so we’re curious as can be. We’d love to hear from those lucky drivers who happened on I-10 near Tonopah today or Thursday and zipper merged. Drop us a line at editor@westvalleyview.com and let us know how it went. Did everyone play nice? Was it a smoother, faster ride? Did you feel safer? In theory, the zipper merge works beautifully and solves a lot of problems. But introducing humans has a way of changing things. Nonetheless, ADOT says it works and is using it in more and more places, so sooner or later, guess we’ll all find out.

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

L

Casino fills void Editor: The recent settlement reached between the Tohono O’odham Nation and Arizona will pave the way for the Desert Diamond Casino West Valley to fulfill a vision in the region. As proud state representatives of the West Valley, we recognize the value and opportunities this endeavor will develop in our community. The casino is estimated to create more than 3,000 permanent, new jobs in the community. That alone will provide a major, sustained economic boost to Glendale, neighboring cities and ultimately the state. The West Valley is capable of being a prime tourist destination. The region has hosted two Super Bowls and in April was home to the NCAA Final Four Championship game. While these events showcased our home, they also highlighted missed opportunities. We saw tourists leave the Glendale area after these sporting events, opting to celebrate in other nearby cities likely because of the limited

options here. The casino fills a void and is a valuable community partner. Despite many obstacles, this project stands to be an economic driver that will create thousands of new jobs and positive economic development. This will give Arizonans and out of state visitors a world-class casino resort. Cesar Chavez and Richard Andrade Arizona state representatives for District 29

Connecting the dots Editor: In many of my letters I have spoken about the dangers we face in America from liberals, progressives, socialists, anarchists, Black Lives Matter , the intolerance for free speech at our universities, political correctness and other subversive groups . Is there a connection here between all these groups ? I believe there is a financial as well as political connection. That connection is a very evil person with a messianic complex and billions of dollars named George Soros. Soro’s billions have been financing mini socialist revolutions all over the world

for quite some time now, through his open society Foundations . Many of our politicians have become cozy with him as well . Examples would be Hillary Clinton, Tim Kaine, the Obama era attorney generals and interestingly enough, President Trump’s son in law Jared kushner. Soro’s goal is for a one world government with no national borders. He hopes to eventually collapse America through revolution brought on by all the groups he is financing here in America . Soros believes , once America is compromised, the rest of the world will fall like a bunch of dominoes. D J Hammonds in his letter of May 3 also alluded to Soros financing. Ok you say but Soro’s is 87 years old. How can he expect to rule the planet. ? Good question . The fact is that Soro’s has a financial empire dedicated to his revolutionary goals, as well as four sons. His youngest son who controls his day to day actives is just as evil as George and has the same messianic complex. His name is Alexander, and is 33years old . Everything in my letter is verifiable with a little bit of research . So now you know . Roy Azzarello Goodyear

 OPINIONS

(From Page 6)

Tail turners Editor: To Alfred Molina of Tonopah. Cassius Clay (aka Muhammad Ali)did not turn tail and run,he refused to take part in an unjust war, the same war that Dick Chaney,Mitt Romney and Donald Trump bull sh#$ed their way out of as did super patriot John Wayne in world war 2. James Tunstell Avondale

Low class west side Editor: Back in 2002 I moved from the Midwest to Goodyear with my young family of 4 and our Labrador. Back then the family and I were amazed at how nice Goodyear Arizona appeared. It seemed like a brand new city. When we moved here we didn’t know much about Goodyear or the “valley of the sun”. We were in love with the idea of winter free Arizona living. Unfortunately, we soon discovered a well-known truth about the Phoenix area. The east side of the valley is a much nicer place to live than the west side. The schools there are better, the youth sports teams are better, the infrastructure is better, the views are better, more things to do, places to eat etc. And best of all the east side cites are not next to a crime filled ghetto, known valley wide as the “avenues”. After 15 years the quality of life and lack of class in Goodyear hasn’t changed. We stay hoping that someday Goodyear will improve and somehow be on par with the east side cities. We are not optimistic. I place 90% of the blame for this on the Pebble Creek biased retiree controlled Goodyear city government. If you’re retired and want to live in a giant retirement community, Goodyear is clearly for you. My advice to any young new comers is to look for homes on the east side. With the exception of being closer to San Diego, Goodyear and the “west side” fail in comparison. Harry Callahan Goodyear

Editor: For the record Mr. Callahan, Bill Clinton was not impeached for “having an affair with an intern” as you stated. He was impeached for perjury and obstruction of justice charges. In other words for lying under oath to Congress, a serious charge. You will remember his famous statement “I did not have sex with that woman”, which was a bald faced lie. And Hilary’s claims that the investigation was a “huge right ring conspiracy”, another bald faced lie. Of course both Clintons have a long and storied history of lying and covering up the truth and destroying evidence. Who knows... maybe Hillary should be investigated for the death of Seth Rich, the DNC staffer who knew too much. But you probably don’t want to know about the Clintons and their dirty dealings do you? The bottom line with all you Trump haters is that you cannot and will not accept the fact that he won the election, fair and square. Hillary lost because Trump was the better candidate, period! Accept it, quit ranting and raving and get a life and move on! And don’t keep telling us Hillary won the popular vote, cause you know that is not how our system works! Now, as far as the investigation into President Trump and possible collusion with the Russians is concerned, there has been no evidence to prove anything.......zero zilch nada. If there is evidence to prove something to the contrary let the chips fall where they may. Until then why don’t all you Trump haters get off the impeachment band-wagon and let the man do what he was elected to do..... MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Tom Moore Goodyear

Inverted totalitarianism Editor: “Every natural resource and every living being is commodified and exploited to collapse as the citizenry is

lulled and manipulated into surrendering their liberties and participation through excess consumerism and sensasionalism (media).” Sheldon Wolin First I feel criticizing and telling the truth about our government IS the highest form of patriotism. Before WW2 our federal government, for the most part, was for big business and by big business. I assume state and local governments were better but they, too were prone to being owned and occupied. In other words post WW2 while exceptional, also the exception to the norm. WW1 vets were killed protesting for money the government owed them. We also have one of the bloodiest, if not THE bloodiest labor history in the world. Sedition during WW1. 14 of the 18 911 terrorist were from Saudi Arabia, as was Bin Ladin. And where ISIS originated, a brutal theocratic monarchy. Meanwhile, 0 citizens have been killed by Iranian’s on U.S. soil. The middle East borders were drawn and given to the Victor’s of WW1. Iran’s issue with us is the coo we did to a democratically chosen leader, then installed the shah, a brutal dictator. All because the former wanted to nationalise their oil. Neoliberals and globalization is capitalism run amok. They claim free market, less government also. F.Y.I. the free market is a great servant (when applicable) a horrible master. The question we need to be asking is who’s side is our government on. Stop crying too. The majority of people are good people, it’s the minority that always f#&/- it up for everybody else. Damion Armstrong Avondale

Sanders at it again Editor: So, Comrade Sanders is at it again, preaching from the Book of Marx, also known as the Communist Manifesto. He’s still trying to convert the USA to the USSA. That didn’t work too well for Russia, did it? Ralph E. Wood Avondale

POTUS travel ban Editor: Our current President (POTUS 45) issued and Executive order to “pause” immigration from six predominantly muslim failed nation states for just 90 days. His authority used by five presidents 43 times, 19 times by POTUS 44 (Obama) without a single challenge. The Authority is given to the president by, section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 states: “Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.” Manchester, UK demonstrates the obvious risks our nation faces but the political undercurrents have become so divisive with some working harder to divide our nation than to unit our nation. Why are the Appeals Court so bent on blocking a lawful order based on manipulated political rhetoric.......while overlooking the obvious legal authority....... this should concern all law abiding American’s who believe in the rule of law..........it’s should not be about political loyalty and it’s not about religious bias, it’s about radical islamic terrorist bent on killing American and destroying our way of life. By the way had the order NOT been challenged, it would almost be over........ May our Country stand against terrorism and our citizen remain safe against all dangers......God Bless America..!!!! Virgil Warden Goodyear

Why preserve an eyesore? Editor: Regarding the article about Demolition of the Trotting Park in the May 17th issue, the lobbyist Sharon Girulat was quoted as saying “ I know most people around here don’t

understand because they’re not preservationists” How dare she? How can she even begin to know? What’s to understand? The bigger question is why preserve it? It’s an eyesore. It has nothing to do with preservation. The definition of preserve is: To keep in its original state or in good condition. The Trotting Park is neither. She just had to have a cause. Then she spoke out of the other side of her mouth saying “ It’s their property, they can do what they want.” Absolutely correct, end of subject! Bonnie Jansson Goodyear

Repeal, replace with what? Part 2 Editor: When the President said that no one knew that health care is complicated my response was simple. What did he say? I knew it was complicated my first day in medical school. The professor gave us all Gray’s Anatomy and said memorize it. That was complicated. Repealing Obamacare was easy. The House did it 60 times over the past 7 years. Replacing it is complicated. The Replace part is in the hands of the U.S. Senate. For us that is McCain and Flake. I cannot wait to see what they come up with. It will be complicated. Leonard Kirschner Litchfield Park

Tolleson author pens young adult book Rachel Kirkaldie’s The Unicorn Hunter hits shelves June 13

Kirkaldie originally submitted the manuscript as part of a trilogy, and had to edit it to become a stand-alone novel. “I had to totally change the ending,� Kirkaldie said. “After that, it’s more revisions, but these are a little less painful. They’re just grammar and punctuation.� After the minor editing process, Cedar Fort began formatting the novel and working on a cover design. Kirkaldie said approving the cover was a special moment. “They designed it and sent it to me to approve, which was exciting,� Kirkaldie said. “It’s almost as good as seeing your book, the cover for it. And it had my name on it, that was the most exciting part.�

by Shane McOwen sports writer

It’s been a long journey for one Tolleson writer, but her hard work and perseverance has paid off. Rachel Kirkaldie will have her literary dreams come true with the publication of her first book, The Unicorn Hunter, on June 13. “It’s been exciting and it’s definitely been an eye-opening experience for me,� Kirkaldie said. “It’s something new.� The Unicorn Hunter is set in a fantasy world, a coming-of-age tale mixed with usurping plots, action and adventure and mystical creatures. It’s a young adult novel, a genre Kirkaldie has a great affinity for. “It’s just always what I loved to read,� Kirkaldie said. “Most of my favorite authors have been the young adult authors. They’re just feel-good books. They have good, driven plots, inspiring characters. They just make you feel good to read them.� The publishing quest hasn’t always been such a feel-good story, however. Kirkaldie began the novel when she was in high school. After various tweaks, both major and minor, she felt it ready to be sent to book publishers. It wasn’t an easy process. “You get rejected, and you cry, and you keep going,� Kirkaldie said. “It was two years ago that I made it a goal to get [the book] written and sent out to as many places as I could find. The more rejections that I got, the closer I felt I’d be to getting it published.� Kirkaldie said one of the most frustrating parts of being rejected was not getting a reason why, or any tips for improvement.

Writing process

View photo by Jordan Christopher

AUTHOR RACHEL KIRKALDIE works at her desk May 2 in her Tolleson home. Kirkaldie’s first published book, The Unicorn Hunter, will be released June 13. “You don’t really get feedback,â€? Kirkaldie said. “Some of the places I sent it to didn’t even respond. They said if they don’t respond, that means they’re not interested. That was the worst. Some of them responded they weren’t interested and basically couldn’t say why because they were too busy. That was really the most you get, the thanks, but no thanks.â€? When Kirkaldie finally got the good news, she almost didn’t believe it. She sent the manuscript to Cedar Fort Publishing in May 2016, and received a letter in October. “I skipped to the second paragraph because the first is usually a ‘Thank you for submitting,’ and the second is usually, ‘Unfortunately at this time‌,’â€? Kirkaldie said. “I went to the second paragraph and I didn’t see the ‘‘unfortunately.’ I looked back at the first paragraph and it said they loved my novel and wanted to publish

it. At first, I thought I was getting a joke played on me.� It wasn’t a joke. Kirkaldie was going to get her story published, but she had still had some work to do. “There’s quite a process to it,� she said. “The first was getting the contract in order, the agreement between us. Then it was a few months of waiting [before] they started getting the revisions done. They mark things up they want to take out. That’s the biggest thing, what’s called the substantial edit.� Kirkaldie said the substantial edit was a little tough to go though mentally. “You think, ‘Oh they want to publish it, they like it the way it is,’ but that’s not really the case,� Kirkaldie said. “I felt like they didn’t like anything about it, because there were a lot of changes. I think that’s typical, but I don’t know, it’s my first time.�

Lighthouse Fellowship is a non-denominational church that emphasizes the verse by verse study of God’s word, and how the Bible applies to our lives today.

The Unicorn Hunter looks much different today than it did after the first draft, many years ago. Kirkaldie said the book taught her a lot about the writing process. “It changes so much,â€? she said. “One thing I learned from writing is it’s so dynamic. You think you have this perfect story you spit out the first time, and you go back and look at it and go, what’s this? It’s constantly changing ‌ There are things you wouldn’t even have considered [at first], but there are always ways to improve it that you didn’t originally think of.â€? Kirkaldie said she hopes to get the rest of the trilogy published in the future. In the meantime, she’s going to enjoy the release of The Unicorn Hunter, she said. “I’m planning a launch part, but I don’t have any details on it,â€? Kirkaldie said. “Still working on that, trying to get some input from some authors that I know. [I want to] make it a big, fun thing just to get the word out and have a big party.â€?

At the end of a journey is a celebration of life. Thousands of officers from around the world participated in events for National Police Week, during the week of May 15, to honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice, according to the Police Week website. Survivors of fallen officers and other people also convened in Washington, D.C., for the week’s events. Avondale Police Department Officer Aaron Joseph joined Team Arizona at National Police Week by riding in the Police Unity Tour through Aaron Joseph Virginia. “It was a great experience to be out there and it’s a great reminder of why we’re in this profession,” Joseph said. “When I get back, I always tell officers, ‘You don’t have to do the ride.’ But to go out to the Law Enforcement Officers Memorial or Police Week is something that every officer should experience at least once in their career.” The Police Unity Tour is a 250-mile bike ride in honor of officers who have died in the line of duty. Officers and survivors of fallen officers participate. The ride spans three days, beginning in Portsmouth, Va., and ending in Washington. D.C., at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial. Each participant had to raise $2,000 for the tour. The money goes toward the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, a cement, U-shaped structure with the engraved names of officers killed in the line of duty. Joseph and Team Arizona linked up with about 140 other officers and

survivors in Portsmouth, Va., on May 8. The bikers each received a bracelet with the name of a fallen officer. Joseph wore — and still wears — a blue bracelet engraved with the name of Sgt. Sean Lewis Allred of the Livingston Police Department in Tennessee. Allred died on June 23, 2016, after collapsing two days earlier in the parking lot of the police station while organizing SWAT gear for a training session. On May 10, the bikers pedaled 115 miles to Tappahannock, Va. The next day was a 70-mile ride to Fredericksburg, Va. “It was tough because it rained the entire day,” Joseph said. “It was real hilly. We ride through a place called [Fort] A.P. Hill. I couldn’t see the top of it because the clouds were that low. It was pretty intense.” They arrived in Washington, D.C., on Day 3 and proceeded to Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium. Motor officers escorted more than 2,300 participants to the memorial, ending the tour. “That’s just a humbling experience because we’re riding for those who died,” Joseph said. “We have our survivors there, family members, everybody standing there watching us in honor of these officers that they haven’t forgotten. It kind of embraces the culture of law enforcement as far as the camaraderie.” On May 13, a vigil was held, where the names of about 330 fallen officers dating back to the early 1900s were read aloud. U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions spoke along with other government officials and survivors of fallen officers. “It’s very humbling,” Joseph said. “This profession is so noble that we have so much support and so much backing from people throughout the community and our own family members to carry us through this time. Seeing that camaraderie and that family and that bond to help each other grieve and go through that process and that they’re not alone.” Chris Caraveo can be reached at ccaraveo@westvalleyview.com.

Award focuses on helping children toward reading success by Glenn Gullickson staff writer

For the second consecutive year, Avondale is among the cities that are finalists for the All-America City Award. Avondale is one of 27 cities up for the award, which will be presented June 16 during the National Civic League convention in Denver. The award has a theme each year, and this year the League is working with the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading for an honor that recognizes communities that have made measurable progress for low-income children toward early reading success. Avondale’s application for the award was submitted by the Valley of the Sun United Way based on the Read On – Avondale program. Read On – Avondale was formed in 2014 by a coalition of the United Way, the Avondale Elementary School District and the city to target third-grade reading proficiency. The program places a priority on reaching children in public housing and other vulnerable children with a resource center and summer reading program. The collaboration that created the program will be the focus of a threeminute presentation at the Denver convention, according to Dawn Gerundo, Valley of the Sun United Way’s community impact director of Education and Children, who coordinated the All America City application. “This was a true collaborative,” Gerundo said. “It’s one of the biggest high points of the story. No one can do this alone.” Wendy Kobasko, assistant superintendent of the Avondale

Elementary School District, will deliver the presentation, which was written by the United Way marketing team. “We put together what we felt was a compelling story,” Gerundo said. The six-member delegation representing the city also includes City Councilman Lorenzo Sierra. Gerundo, who has been a resident of Avondale for 10 years, said the city has “strong competition” for the award, but she said the effort is supported by the city’s collaborative “power and might.” When Avondale was an All-America City finalist last year, the city missed out on being one of 10 cities to receive the award, which was based on programs for children and families. The honor gives a city bragging rights for an award that was created 67 years ago by an organization that works to advance good governance and civic engagement. The award was won by Goodyear in 2008. Phoenix is a five-time winner, most recently in 2009. Tempe, Mesa and Chandler have also won in the past. Avondale is the only Arizona city competing for the award this year. Among the other cities up for the 2017 award that also competed last year are New Britain, Conn., and Council Bluffs, Iowa. Large cities among the finalists are Dallas, San Antonio, Kansas City, Mo., and Salt Lake City. Other finalists are Springdale, Ark., Stockton-San Joaquin County, Calif., Tahoe Truckee, Calif., Delray Beach, Fla., Suncoast, Fla., Ames, Iowa, Des Moines, Iowa, Dubuque, Iowa, Quad Cities, Iowa and Illinois, Springfield, Mass., Worcester, Mass., Gulfport, Miss., Lafayette County, Miss., Wake County, N.C., Rochester, N.Y., Syracuse, N.Y., Montgomery County, Ore., Lane County, Ore., Newport, R.I., and Roanoke, Va.

Avondale awards art scholarships The city of Avondale recently awarded local students $5,000 in scholarships as part of its Mayor Marie High School Art Contest, which was open to all high school graduating seniors in Avondale who are planning to enroll in college. William Martinez of La Joya Community High School won first place with a mixed media piece titled “Lovely Weather”; Muhdya Jubran of La Joya won second place with a photography piece titled “Ethereal”; and Stelson Ordonez of La Joya won third place with a mixed media piece called “Elastic Cycle.”

Buckeye is growing fast. That statement may not be a surprise for residents of the city or even those living around it. But a recent list from the U.S. Census Bureau ranks Buckeye as the seventh-fastest growing city in the nation among cities with populations of 50,000 or more. From July 1, 2015, to July 1, 2016, Buckeye’s population increased 4.8 percent, reaching 64,629, according to the bureau. Buckeye was the only city in Arizona to make the list. “The word is getting out about our great city,� Buckeye Mayor Jackie Meck said in a release. “These numbers demonstrate what we’ve known all along, the city of Buckeye is a great place to live, work and play.� The numbers speak for themselves. In 2015, 1,106 housing permits were issued in the city. The following year surpassed that with 1,520. And as of April, 654 have been issued in 2017. The most building permits issued before 2015 was 773 in 2013. The median home value in the city is $189,869, according to the ESRI Business Analyst Online’s September 2015 report. Each year, the Census Bureau releases estimates of the population for the U.S., states, counties and Puerto Rico. Annual estimates for resident populations are produced by measuring population change, which includes all people living in the U.S. Conroe, Texas, grew the fastest at 7.8 percent to 82.286.

10-year-old organizes campaign to collect blankets, supplies by Glenn Gullickson staff writer

A 10-year-old Avondale girl’s mission to help others is providing blankets and other supplies to the homeless with the assistance of a local group of senior citizens. Natasha Spencer, a fourth-grader at Great Hearts Academy in Goodyear, has organized donations over the past couple of years of more than 150 blankets to the Andre House, a ministry that serves the homeless in central Phoenix. “I wanted to give back to people,� Natasha said. Many of the blankets have been made by members of the Avondale Senior Center, who joined the effort late last year. Natasha, the daughter of Rick and Jasmine Spencer, said she got the idea to help the homeless when she would go to downtown Phoenix for piano lessons and noticed people in need on the street. “When we see people out on the street, we give,� Jasmine Spencer said. “We try not to judge anybody.� Natasha’s birthday is in December, so when she turned 8, she asked party guests to make a gift of blankets, the first of three drives to collect blankets to donate. Soon, a jar of coins Natasha had been collecting for a vacation inspired another idea that she dubbed “Change 4 Change,� an effort to collect change from family and friends to buy toiletries that she learned homeless people need. Natasha said she thought, “Wow, I could buy a lot of stuff for the homeless� — enough tissue, toothpaste, soap and other things that recently filled her father’s SUV for the drive to Andre House. Members of the Avondale Senior Center joined the effort after learning about the project when Natasha’s gymnastics team presented gifts at the group’s Christmas party last year. “We thought we were going to help them, but they helped us a lot,� Natasha said. The group’s sewing, knitting and crochet clubs went to work on making blankets, hats, mittens, scarves and socks for Natasha’s project. “All of us were in awe of a 10-year-old child,� said Doris Hedenberg, who organizes activities at the senior center. “She’s making quite a difference in the world.� Hedenberg said the seniors plan to continue their relationship with Natasha, noting that the project has given the group a purpose that has attracted additional members. “We’re getting more people involved,� she said. “It makes us feel good we can do something for others.� Elizabeth Wunsch, director of volunteer services and

She said Natasha is among several young people who organize donations to the agency, which provides meals for up to 600 people daily. “It’s a wonderful thing they want to help,� she said. “They are learning at a young age that not everyone has everything they do.� Natasha said she learned her giving spirit at home and from the church her family attends, Valley Community Church in Peoria. “She’s very generous and always thinks of other people,� Jasmine Spencer said of her daughter. Natasha said she wants to continue the project and recently created a Facebook page to promote it at facebook.com/helpothersNS/. “When I’m done giving, I want to go back and give more,� Nastasha said.

Abrazo volunteer recognized for service West Valley man gets presidential award for 4,000 hours of work by Glenn Gullickson staff writer

The opportunity to help others motivates Eamon Treanor’s volunteer work at Abrazo West Campus in Goodyear. But volunteering at the hospital for more than 4,000 hours also earned the Litchfield Park man some presidential recognition. Treanor received the President’s Lifetime Achievement Award, considered to be the nation’s highest award for volunteers, April 18 at a banquet for Abrazo volunteers. “For me personally, it’s probably one of the better things I’ve ever done,” Treanor said. “You feel good helping someone.” Treanor, 78, started volunteering at Abrazo in 2005, a year after he retired and moved to the West Valley from New Jersey, where he had worked as a data technician for New York Life. Since then, the volunteer hours have piled up as he worked two weekly four-hour shifts, always at the information desk in the hospital’s lobby. It’s the first place hospital visitors might stop when they are trying to find their way or looking for a patient’s room in the hospital. Since a visit to the hospital often comes at a stressful time, Treanor said a lot of people are nervous when they arrive at his desk with a question or a problem. “There are some crazy days. In a hospital, you never know what’s going to happen,” Treanor said. “Whatever I do, I’m helping someone.” Treanor said when people have questions, it’s part of his job to go to work to find answers. “I’m a volunteer, but I think I’m also part detective,” he said. Dawn Gilean, director of volunteer programs at the Abrazo West Campus, said the hospital depends on volunteers such as Treanor. “He’s really customer-focused,” Gilean said. “He goes that extra mile.” Treanor said he’s pleased when someone he’s helped comes back later with thanks. Treanor said volunteering is a win-win. “It goes two ways. The hospital is getting something

He said his wife, Pat, who encouraged him to find something to do when he retired and volunteers at the hospital gift shop herself, claims he’s in a better mood after a shift at the hospital. Treanor, who came to the U.S. in 1956 after completing high school in his native Ireland, occasionally takes breaks from his volunteer schedule to visit his seven children and 16 grandchildren, who are scattered around the country. Gilean said Treanor is a senior member of a core group of more than 200 volunteers at the hospital. “That experience is super valuable,” said Gilean, who

noted that the hospital is always seeking more volunteers. Over the years, Treanor has seen a lot of change at the hospital, including several expansions, Gilean said. “Our volunteers really need to be nimble. The hospital changes all the time,” she said. Treanor said he wasn’t aware of the presidential award until he was informed that he had worked the hours necessary to get the honor. Since Treanor completed the achievement in 2016, it’s President Barack Obama’s signature that’s on the award. Glenn Gullickson can be reached at ggullickson@westvalleyview.com.

EDGAR BANUELOS, above, of Buckeye begins the transition from the fireman deadlift to tire flip, while Angel Gordillo, right, flips a tire at the 2017 Universal Athletic West Side Big Man Challenge June 3 at Pioneer Community Park in Peoria. The Hawks’ big men won the competition for the second year running.

Repeat (From Page 13) translates on the field. “Everything we do we definitely relates to football,” Moore said. “It doesn’t matter if it’s in the weight room, whether we’re doing a squat, something that resembles a squad, [it] definitely helps out on the field. That’s exactly part of our success.” Moore said the success of the Hawks in the regular season starts with the guys in the trenches. “We all believe in linemen,” Moore said. “For me, we start and finish with them. We ask more of them, we require more of them. When they produce, that makes our team better, that’s for sure.”

Passing league Liberty won the Universal Athletic West Side 7-on-7 tournament, beating Millennium in the final. The Tigers, who recently named Lamar Early head coach after James Carter resigned before spring practice, had the best showing of the West Valley teams competing. Millennium made it to the finals, where it fell in double overtime to Liberty, 21-14. Millennium went 4-0 in pool play, and after byes in the first two rounds, beat Buckeye in the third round, 45-31, Gilbert Campo Verde in the quarterfinals, 31-14, and Glendale Raymond S. Kellis in the semifinals, 21-14. Westview finished in the top eight of the tournament, losing to Liberty in the quarterfinals after beating Phoenix Alhambra in the third round.

Lobos (From Page 13)

Passing league La Joya has competed in a handful of 7-on-7 passing tournaments and has a few more to round out the summer. Mitchell is a proponent in not overdoing it when it comes to summer competitions. The passing leagues are only a portion of the entire team game, he said, akin to practicing only dribbling and passing without shooting in basketball.

E

the ball. One of the main tasks that happened during spring practice and now during 7-on-7 tournaments is identifying a starting quarterback to replace Devin Dourisseau. Dourisseau completed 71 passes on 143 attempts for 1,253 yards, with 10 touchdowns and seven interceptions last year as the Lobos’ signal caller. “Right now, quarterback is the one area I do not have a lot of depth at,” Mitchell said. “It looks like our quarterback will be Josh Garcia, at least to start the season. He was my JV quarterback two years ago, and last year, he was on varsity but just didn’t get much playing time as the No. 2 guy. He’s probably going to be elevated into the No. 1 position.” Mitchell said he’s not expecting to know his five starting offensive linemen until August when the pads go on, but two players have stepped up with their work ethic and leadership so far. “Right now, one young man that I’m very surprised with is Jeremy Delgado,” Mitchell said. “He’s going to be a senior, and played JV the last couple of years. I wasn’t sure what I was going to get, but my JV coach kept saying I was going to like him, he works hard. I’ve been very impressed with him. Obviously, I need to see him with pads on, but from what I’ve seen so far, his feet are quick. He’s a big guy and he moves very well.” Mitchell said he expected lineman Dakota Robertson to step up this offseason, and he’s lived up to the challenge. “He’s looking much better and working hard,” Mitchell said. “He played a little bit off and on last year on varsity. It’s his senior year and he realizes it. He’s really been working. “Of those two, one was expected and the other was not. I’m pleasantly surprised. Honestly, we’re not going to know until we go into the scrimmage who the five [linemen] will be, but I expect both of them to have an impact.” Mitchell said Garcia has already made an impact with his leadership in the early stages of the offseason. “The one that I expected to lead is Fernando Garcia,” Mitchell said. “He’s been stepping up big time in the leadership role, and I’m not surprised. I’d be surprised if he didn’t, let’s put it that way.”

FERNANDO GARCIA of La Joya celebrates with the ball in a game last season. Garcia will return for his senior year in 2017, and is one of five Lobos on the roster with any starting experience. “I don’t like overdoing the summer passing,” Mitchell said. “We do just enough, about three weeks’ worth, and then we’re done. Once we’re done, we’re done. We don’t mess with it anymore. We get what we need out of that three weeks and that’s it.” The spring practices and summer workouts have not only been for the benefit of new players filling open positions, but new coaches as well. The Lobos’ defensive coordinator from last season stepped down, and Mitchell named Devin Dourisseau Sr. to the post for the 2017 season. “He and I have been together since day one at La Joya,” Mitchell said. “He’s got the defense, it’s his. We’re not

going to miss a beat at all. I told him flat out, he does not need to run what we’ve run in years past. I want him to make it his. He’s brought in his defense, and that’s what I want.” La Joya will continue its summer workout program and begin its next competition phase with a scrimmage at Glendale Raymond S. Kellis on Aug. 17. The Lobos officially begin their season at Tempe Corona del Sol on Aug. 25. Shane McOwen can be reached at smcowen@ westvalleyview.com or on Twitter @ShaneMcOwen.

unique style

Verrado went 36-28 in Wahlstrom’s six seasons as head coach. The Vipers made the playoffs three times under his direction, including a run to the semifinals in 2015. Wahlstrom posted his resignation letter on Twitter April 7, thanking the school and community for their support, but felt it had become apparent that his time at the school “had come to an end.” Even though Wahlstrom went to the school after the spring period, the team won’t use that as an excuse or disadvantage, he said. “I think in anything, you have your challenges and opportunities,” Wahlstrom said. “We’re definitely not going to use this an a crutch or an excuse. There’s some catchup to be played, and we plan on playing it.”

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.

The 9 Days a Week calendar now may contain paid listings which are clearly marked by “Advertisement” across the top and bottom of paid listings and appear in a screened box. Submissions for paid items may be made by calling the classified advertising dept. of the West Valley View at 623-535-8439. Available sizes and prices: 2 inch ad = $80.00, 3 inch ad = $120.00.

application requesting authority from the Commission to issue evidence of indebtedness for Liberty Litchfield Park in a total amount not to exceed $30,000,000. Liberty Litchfield Park requests authorization to increase its wastewater rates to generate total revenues of $15,130,755. This would constitute an increase in revenues by $3,496,801, or 30.06 percent over test year revenues of $11,633,954. For information about how Liberty Litchfield Park’s revenue increase would affect your individual bill, you may contact Liberty Litchfield Park at 12725 W. Indian School Rd., Suite D101, Avondale, AZ 85392, or by calling 623-9359367. The Commission’s Utilities Division (“Staff”) is in the process of auditing and analyzing the applications, and has not yet made any recommendations regarding Liberty Litchfield Park’s proposed rate increase or financing application. The Commission will determine the appropriate relief to be granted based on the evidence of record in the proceeding. THE COMMISSION IS NOT BOUND BY THE PROPOSALS MADE BY LIBERTY LITCHFIELD PARK, STAFF, OR ANY INTERVENORS; THEREFORE, THE FINAL RATES APPROVED BY THE COMMISSION MAY

DIFFER FROM AND MAY BE HIGHER OR LOWER THAN THE RATES REQUESTED BY LIBERTY LITCHFIELD PARK OR RECOMMENDED BY OTHER PARTIES.

If you require assistance, you may contact the Consumer Services Section at 602-542-4251 or 1-800-222-7000. About Intervention The law provides for an open public hearing at which, under appropriate circumstances, interested persons may intervene. An interested person may be granted intervention if the outcome of the case will directly and substantially impact the person, and the person’s intervention will not unduly broaden the issues in the case. Intervention, among other things, entitles a party to present sworn evidence at hearing and to crossexamine other parties’ witnesses. However, failure to intervene will not preclude any interested person or entity from appearing at the hearing and providing public comment on the application or from filing written comments in the record of the case. To request intervention, you must file an original and 13 hard copies of a written request to intervene with Docket Control, 1200 West Washington Street, Phoenix, AZ 85007, no later

than July 14, 2017. You also must serve a copy of the request to intervene on each party of record, on the same day that you file the request to intervene with the Commission. Information about intervention and sample intervention requests are available on the Commission’s website (www.azcc.gov) using the “Intervention in Utility Cases” link. Your request to intervene must contain the following: 1. Your name, address, and telephone number and the name, address, and telephone number of any person upon whom service of documents is to be made, if not yourself; 2. A reference to Docket Nos. SW-01428A-17-0058 and SW01428A-17-0078; 3. A short statement of your interest in the proceeding ( e.g., a customer or potential customer of Liberty Litchfield Park, a member or shareholder of Liberty Litchfield Park, etc.) and how you will be directly and substantially affected by the outcome of the case, and why your intervention will not unduly broaden the issues in the case; 4. A statement certifying that a copy of the motion to intervene has been mailed to Liberty Litchfield Park or its counsel and to all parties of record in the case; and 5. If you are not represented

by an attorney who is an active member of the Arizona State Bar, and are not an individual representing himself or herself, information and any appropriate documentation demonstrating compliance with Arizona Supreme Court Rules 31, 38, and 42, as applicable. The granting of motions to intervene shall be governed by A.A.C. R14-3-105, except that all motions to intervene must be filed on or before July 14, 2017. If representation by counsel is required by Arizona Supreme Court Rule 31, intervention will be conditioned upon the intervenor obtaining counsel to represent the intervenor. ADA/Equal Access Information The Commission does not discriminate on the basis of disability in admission to its public meetings. Persons with a disability may request a reasonable accommodation such as a sign language interpreter, as well as request this document in an alternative format, by contacting the ADA Coordinator, Kaci Cannon, E-mail KCannon@ azcc.gov, voice phone number 602-542-3931. Requests should be made as early as possible to allow time to arrange the accommodation. Published in the West Valley View, and the West Valley Business on June 7, 2017.
