F-35s to resume flights at Luke Fighter jets grounded for more than a week by Glenn Gullickson

BRIG. GEN. BROOK LEONARD, 56th Fighter Wing commander, gives a press conference on the F-35A pause in flight June 16 at Luke Air Force Base.

staff writer

The Air Force’s F-35 fighter jets are expected to be flying in the skies above the West Valley again today after the planes at Luke Air Force Base were grounded for 11 days when pilots reported problems with the plane’s oxygen system. Brig. Gen. Brook Leonard, commander of the 56th Fighter Wing at the base, said he approved resumption of flights even though the cause of the incidents with the F-35A Lightning II flights may never be determined. He speculated that a number of small factors may have contributed to the problems. Leonard said he grounded flights June 9

out of concern for the safety of pilots and the community after five incidents in which pilots experienced hypoxia-like symptoms related to oxygen deprivation. “We really didn’t know what was happening with the aircraft,” Leonard said during a news conference June 16 at the base. In incidents reported from May 2 to June 8, back-up oxygen systems operated as designed and the planes landed safely, according to the Air Force. “That was a great vote of confidence,” Leonard said.

None of the pilots lost consciousness during the incidents, Leonard said. The incidents involved five different planes and five different pilots who fly the F-35 at Luke, Leonard said. “I have high confidence in the jet,” Leonard said, noting he’s flown the plane for a year. “I’m not concerned that there’s a serious design flaw.” Leonard said five “risk mitigation” factors were established to allow the return to flight, including increasing backup oxygen systems for (See F-35s on Page 5)

Medical pot in Tolleson? View’s annual Council passes rezoning of land near 83rd Avenue, McDowell Road by Chris Caraveo staff writer

Developers of a piece of land in the northern section of Tolleson received approval to continue the process of bringing a medical marijuana dispensary to the city. But not without contention. The Tolleson City Council, by a 4-3 vote May 30, approved the rezoning of a plot of land from C-2 (commercial) to Planned Area Development (PAD). The decision allows the potential construction of a medical marijuana dispensary at a site west of the intersection of 83rd Avenue and McDowell Road. Vice Mayor Juan Rodriguez and council members Lupe Bandin and John Carnero opposed the rezoning. Adam Baugh, who represented Colday Arizona Inc. at the meeting, said Tolleson has been known for its industrial properties but not for commercial ones because of neighboring cities. Baugh said one of the goals with the dispensary being where it is proposed is to encourage visitors to make use of existing and new retail outlets. “When I call this a destination use, really what I’m saying to you is this is an intended and purposeful commute and purchase,” Baugh said. The dispensary would occupy 3,000 square feet of a 10,000- to 12,000-square-foot piece of land. Bandin and Carnero opposed the rezoning with the agreement that a potential dispensary at the location poses a risk to students at an elementary school in the area. Previous city officials recognized dispensaries may try to

operate in Tolleson. In turn, they zoned certain areas for such purposes away from schools, houses of worship and main roads such as Van Buren Street and McDowell. “This council member simply cannot vote to pave the way for full-blown sales of marijuana on our McDowell Road,” Bandin said. Councilwoman Clorinda Erives contrasted the dispensary’s security measures with that of a Circle K, which is nearer to the elementary school than the proposed location of the dispensary. Where the dispensary requires a person to have a medical marijuana card to enter a restricted area to access products, the convenience store has no barriers to vices such as alcohol and even cigarettes. When visiting a Valley dispensary, Erives said one thing that stood out to her was when one of the associates referred to everyone as a patient rather than a customer or client. “That’s huge for me. This is a patient who’s getting their medication at the dispensary,” she said. “Now, if this was recreation, I wouldn’t be having this conversation. But this is not that.” Mayor Anna Tovar disputed Carnero’s statement that Tolleson Elementary School District Superintendent Lupita Hightower said “no” to a medical marijuana dispensary being near a school. Tovar said minutes from a previous council meeting showed Hightower had said she would not answer for or against the dispensary. Other than that, Tovar did not speak on the issue at the meeting but responded to questions via email, calling medical marijuana a controversial topic not to be taken lightly. “As a two-time cancer survivor, I understand the painful and traumatic journey that people go through. Therefore, I am in support of people having options for medical treatments,” Tovar (See Pot on Page 4)

food drive donations up Banks see 600 lb. increase over previous year by Kourtney Balsan special to the View

The West Valley View’s 12th annual food drive has ended with a total of 2,724 pounds of food being donated to local food banks. This year’s total surpasses last year’s of 2,122 pounds, which was a major decrease from the year previous at 4,204 pounds of food collected. From 2015 to 2017, the weight of donations dropped in comparison from a 2017 Ford F-150 truck to a 2016 Kia Soul. Although the View’s food drive didn’t collect as much food as it once did, food donations are remaining fairly consistent for the Agua Fria Food & Clothing bank, which distributes food at locations in Avondale and Tonopah, Executive Director of the Agua Fria Food & Clothing bank Leanne Leonard said, adding she can only speak for the two years she has been director. In general, food donations are always low in the summer, she said. “Food donations definitely drop off about midspring to the end of summer. That’s the slowest time for donations,” Leonard said. Although the bank can’t measure the amount of impact and meals provided per pound donated, it typically translates it to a dollar (See Food drive on Page 4)

Avondale captures All-America City honor Read On – Avondale promoted during award presentation by Glenn Gullickson staff writer

The second time was the charm as Avondale captured an All-America City Award during a repeat appearance in the finals of the national competition. Avondale was among 15 U.S. communities designated for the award June 16 at the National Civic League Convention in Denver. Twenty-nine cities were up for the honor in a competition that involved the Campaign for GradeLevel Reading to recognize communities that have made measurable progress for low-income children toward early reading success. In 2016, Avondale was a finalist for the award, but was not among the 10 cities that got the honor. This year, Avondale’s application for the award was submitted by the Valley of the Sun United Way based on the Read On — Avondale program. The United Way formed the program in 2014 along with the city and the Avondale Elementary School District to target third-grade reading proficiency. In Denver, Wendy Kubasko, assistant superintendent of the Avondale Elementary School District, delivered a three-minute presentation on how the community came together to make a difference for literacy. She told judges how the program determined the need, then developed a literacy guide, got library cards for 1,000 school children, collected 3,000 donated books and developed an early childhood program. The program puts a priority on reaching children in public housing and other vulnerable children. Avondale City Councilman Lorenzo Sierra, who represented the city in the six-member delegation at the convention, said Kubasko “knocked it out of the park” with a presentation that he called “stirring.” The award is “a reflection of all the hard work people are putting in to make sure our kids move forward,” Sierra said. He said literacy early in life is an indicator that children will be doing well in life. “If we accomplish our goals, peoples’ lives are better,”

he said. “The final payoff comes when those people are having very successful lives.” Sierra noted that the award will boost community pride and aid the city’s economic development efforts. “We can have that emblem on everything we put out,” he said. “Once we’ve won the award, we’re an AllAmerica City for the rest of time.” Mayor Kenneth Weise, who led the city’s presentation at last year’s awards, said the city was excited about the honor. “It kind of tells you the quality of work we’ve doing in Avondale to be nominated two years in a row and to win this year,” Weise said. This year’s award application was coordinated by Dawn Gerundo, Valley of the Sun United Way’s community impact director of Education and Children. She said Avondale competed against communities that had been operating reading programs for years. “The most impressive part is the commitment the community has to grade-level reading,” Gerundo said. “We were very excited to show what a community can do.” The honor was created 68 years ago by the National Civic League, 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 was the only Arizona city competing for the award this year. Other cities that won this year are Springdale, Ark., Stockton-San Joaquin County, Calif., New Britain, Conn., Delray Beach, Fla., Suncoast (Sarasota and Manatee counties), Fla., Council Bluffs, Iowa, Des Moines, Iowa, Dubuque, Iowa, Springfield, Mass., Kansas City, Mo., Montgomery County-Dayton, Ohio, Lane County, Ore., San Antonio and Roanoke, Va. Other cities in the competition were Tahoe-Truckee, Calif., Ames, Iowa, Quad Cities, Iowa and Illinois, Worcester, Mass., Gulfport, Miss., Lafayette CountyOxford University, Miss., Wake County, N.C., Rochester, N.Y., Syracuse, N.Y., Newport, R.I., Dallas and Salt Lake City.

Vandals strike park in W.V. community Ripped irrigation lines, glass in playground, chopped trees plague Country Place by Chris Caraveo staff writer

A drive throughout a neighborhood near 103rd Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road reveals all one needs to know about the problems the area faces. Ridiculousness. Residents living in the Country Place community of Estrella Village have been subject to a group of people vandalizing its park and surrounding areas in the worst of ways. Ripped irrigation lines. Broken water meter boxes. Tire marks over wet grass. Trees hacked with an ax. Burned plastic coating on Ramada tables. Oleander bushes set on fire. Beer bottles and cigarettes on the ground. The worst? Shards of glass properly placed in the sand at a playground where children descending the slide could step on and injure themselves. “What kind of sick mind does this?” Country Place Homeowners Association President Charisse Walls said. That is what the community wants to find out. A $2,000 reward has been put out for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the damage. About 3,000 homes comprise the Country Place community, which is two miles south of Interstate 10 near Lower Buckeye and 99th Avenue. Walls, who has lived in Country Place since 2004 and leads the community’s Block Watch program, said the vandalism started around March and April. The park itself is located near 103rd Avenue and Hughes Drive. “We’re kind of in the forgotten zone,” Walls said. “We really, really need some help.”

Improvements to a street in Tolleson take up a portion of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $9 million increase to its budget for the upcoming year. The Tolleson City Council unanimously approved its tentative budget of about $63 million for the 2017-18 fiscal year on May 30. The budget increased about 16 percent from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $54.4 million total. The change mainly comes from the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan to widen 91st Avenue, Chief Financial Officer Vicky Juvet said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would consider it balanced,â&#x20AC;? Juvet said about the budget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Another benefit to our taxpayers is our property tax rate remains flat, the same as last year.â&#x20AC;? The primary property tax rate is $1.8325 per $100 of assessed valuation. City Engineer Paul Gilmore said the widening of 91st Avenue will occur between Interstate 10 and Van Buren

Street. The roads will extend from one to two through lanes in each direction. The project will cost the city about $4 million, coming from its reserve fund balance. The city is adding 4.5 full-time positions, including a new court administrator. The City Magistrate department is down to only one position, that being Diana Quezada as the city magistrate. The other three positions were reassigned to the Court Administration department along with the new position. Revenues are projected to increase 6.3 percent from about $49 million to about $52 million. That change will mainly come from an increase in consumer spending through city sales taxes, Juvet said. Three parks will receive renovations. The city budgeted $200,000 toward improvements to 95th Avenue Park near Garfield Street and $50,000 to Tolleson Veterans Park near Van Buren Street and 87th Avenue. The city also increased its miscellaneous professional services by $250,000 for a joint-use park area at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church near 93rd Avenue and McKinley Street. Tolleson is hiring three part-time individuals to help out in the recreation department. The budget provides greater assistance to shelters and

residents struggling with utilities. Shelter assistance increased $45,000 to $50,000. The city increased its fund to help residents with their gas, water and/or electric bills from $3,000 to $20,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s priorities was to increase the shelter and utility assistance to help meet the needs of our most vulnerable citizens,â&#x20AC;? Juvet said. Public safety officials will have a few more vehicles at their disposal. The Tolleson Fire Department is budgeted for a new ladder tender in addition to a miscellaneous heart monitor. The Tolleson Police Department is slated to introduce four new patrol vehicles to its fleet. The budget for police is expected to increase by 12 percent. The beginning fund balance when the next fiscal year begins July 1 is estimated at $42.9 million. Major changes are not expected when the council votes to approve the final budget at its meeting June 27. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a council, it is crucial that we are fiscally responsible and it is our highest priority to gain a thorough understanding of our budgetary status, which is why we took our time going over next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget,â&#x20AC;? Mayor Anna Tovar said. Chris Caraveo can be reached at ccaraveo@westvalleyview.com.

Shooting complex to close for summer Joe Foss in Buckeye seeks new operator by Chris Caraveo staff writer

Shooting enthusiasts will have to look for another venue to practice at with the announcement that a Buckeye shooting facility will temporarily close. Joe Foss Shooting Complex at Buckeye Hills Regional Park will close June 25 while the Maricopa County Parks and Recreation Department negotiates a contract with a potential new operator, according to a release. The department is targeting a reopening in the fall, but the time could change depending on negotiations.

The complex, which includes gun and archery ranges, is at 26700 W. Buckeye Hills Drive, south of the Gila River and west of State Route 85. It has been operational since October 2008 under several special-use permits with the Buckeye Sportsmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club. In January 2011, a request for proposal for the management and further development of the complex was issued. The club was awarded the current use management agreement five months later. Members of the club have volunteered since 2009 to keep the range open, ensuring individuals who visit Joe Foss have a safe and affordable place to practice. Club Vice President Manuel Alvarez said more than 80 people have volunteered in the last five years.

Wills & Trusts Free Consultation

The clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contract with the department expired in December 2016 and the club decided not to renew it. When the department released a letter of interest for management of the facility in September of last year, no one responded. The club agreed to manage the facility for an additional six months while the department looked for a nonprofit or government entity as the land falls under the Bureau of Land Managementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Recreation and Public Purposes Act. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With limited resources available to staff the shooting complex, we have decided to suspend services at the complex during the typically slow summer season until weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve hammered out the details with a new concessionaire,â&#x20AC;? Department Director R.J. Cardin said in a

release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We greatly value our relationship with the club, and appreciate their assistance and dedication during this time of transition.â&#x20AC;? Maricopa County officials have met with a local government agency to determine its level of interest and whether it has the resources available to manage the shooting complex. Negotiations are in the early stages, and nothing is official yet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Again, the county and this department want to reiterate our gratitude to the Buckeye Sportsmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club,â&#x20AC;? Cardin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were excellent partners and did a wonderful job for many years in making this facility available to the public.â&#x20AC;?

City coffers increase by $9 million over last year

Tolleson OKs $63M tentative budget

Pot (From Page 1) said. “These options are for patients to decide with their doctor. If medical marijuana is what they decide to use, that is their choice and I respect that.” Rodriguez said he recognizes the benefits medical marijuana has to those who need it. However, he said there are other locations within Tolleson where developers can build a dispensary. And that Baugh called a dispensary a destination location means people will go to the city regardless if the dispensary is at the proposed site. “We have locations that you can apply for and get today,”

Vandals (From Page 3) Country Place has been in contact with the Phoenix Police Department. Walls rode along with two officers June 14 to show them the damage. Maryvale and Estrella Mountain Precinct Cmdr. Ed DeCastro encourages people to continue calling Phoenix police when the acts or any crimes are taking place. Officers circulate in the area when call volume permits. Country Place hired LandCare Unlimited as its new landscaper in May, well after some of the vandalism had occurred. About 12 people are tasked with maintaining the park on a daily basis. LandCare Unlimited Director of HOA Operations Alex Bowman said one of the more recent incidents involved the cutting down of four big trees with an ax at night. “How crazy is that?” he said. “That was the final straw.” On Facebook, Walls said someone destroyed the Hunter solar panel that adjusts and distributes water to the grass and plants. Bowman said damages to the park total about $20,000. “It’s very expensive for the community,” he said, with Walls adding that the cost for repairs will likely fall on homeowners and renters in the form of HOA fees unless the suspects are found. Bowman visits the park daily Monday through Friday

he said. “And if the destination is really what’s important here, then I’m just a little confused on why not there instead of here, because it would make complete sense for this type of development to go where it’s already zoned.” Baugh responded by saying the developer had explored other options within and beyond Tolleson. “This wasn’t the first choice,” Baugh said. “Just because another will work doesn’t mean people are willing to lease to you or that they are willing to — or that the lenders want to lease to you. So this is one of those rare moments where we found a site that it works for us, it works for the seller, it works for the lender. So those are hard to find in any jurisdiction.” Chris Caraveo can be reached at ccaraveo@westvalleyview.com. to fix the irrigation, pick up trash and whatever else he can do to help. In an email, Mary Ehlers, a co-lead with the Block Watch, said the damage costs are not what concerns her and other community members. Rather, she wants residents living along the ravaged areas to report when something happens. Not far from the park, a block wall dividing Country Place and Elgin Tree Farm was taken down. “When do we say enough is enough and stand up for what is right, not only for ourselves, but of those of our children, our future,” Ehlers said. Walls said every time the community straightens up the park, someone goes back and destroys it. She worries the vandalism may not stop with Country Place. “If they’re doing this to us, they’re going to do this to other people,” Walls said. Most of the incidents happen at night and are reported after the fact, rather than while they are in progress or when a suspect is present, Sgt. Vincent Lewis said. Board members have walked around the neighborhood to try to find out any information. Walls said the community is trying to get a city park established but the recent incidents do not help its case. It is not known how many people are up to the crimes or what their ages are. But officials hope awareness of the issue can lead residents and anyone else to help put an end to the crimes pervading the community. “Together we need to stand united as a group to fight this battle before it gets any worse,” Ehlers said. “We deserve to be heard and we will be.”

Food drive (From Page 1) amount instead, Leonard said. “We say around $25. That’s what we put out there as a general donation amount. Twenty-five dollars will have about 175 meals,” Leonard said. If you’re still looking to donate, the banks always accept donations of any form, whether there is a food drive or not. “We are always in need of water and things that are high in nutritional content,” Leonard said. Time can also be donated, she said. “Pretty much the only way we run is through volunteers. We are very appreciative,” Leonard said. “We definitely take those who have only a day or hours to give, but it’s those who can offer a day a week or something like that to offer for a more on-going dependable basis that are the ones who enable us to keep our doors open.” Most volunteer opportunities are 8 a.m. to noon Monday through Friday working in a food warehouse, clothing bank or a front desk, Leonard said. “We love those who can give an hour or a couple of days here and there during the summer because we know that people’s schedules have lots of restrictions. We will take anyone who’s willing to work,” Leonard said. For information on volunteer opportunities, contact a food bank below. At the end of the day, it’s partnerships with companies that hold food drives and team work from the community and volunteers that makes a difference, Leonard said. “We’re just so thankful for our partnerships in our community,” she said. “It’s partnerships like these that help us to be able to continue to do the work that we do.” The West Valley View’s annual summer food drive benefitted the Agua Fria Food & Clothing Bank in Avondale and Tonopah, All Faith Community Services Buckeye Food Bank in Buckeye and the Tolleson Food Bank in Tolleson.

Business Briefcase F-35s by Shane McOwen sports writer

Hello, readers, and welcome to the scorching edition of the Business Briefcase. Unfortunately, this column had to be finished before the high temperature could be set on Tuesday, when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forecast to hit 120 degrees. Because the laws of physics currently prohibit me from traveling back in time to update the print version (and I do not have the clearance to stop the presses for such trivial matters), Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to give a choose-your-own ending. Read this if it did reach 120 degrees: Holy cow! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only the fourth time in recorded history that the Valley reached the dozen-to-theShane McOwen tenth-power mark! Now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to annoy the younger generations for years with stories of what we were doing when the cityscape nearly melted off the face of the earth. If we only made it to 119 (or less): What is the point!? This is a travesty of the highest proportion! If weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to experience this tremendously awful heat, shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we be able to attach some sort of historical significance to it? Is that too much to ask? OK, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready for the business news now. People may slow down in the heat, but the business items do not. Some interesting news in northeast Avondale. The Burger King at 3940 N. 107th Ave. has closed, and signage is up saying the building will eventually reopen as a Filibertoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mexican Food restaurant. The Burger King signage and infrastructure, such as the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jungle gym, have already been removed. No timetable as of yet when Filibertoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will be ready to open.

The Mexican food chain has made a push in the West Valley in recent years. The 107th Avenue location will be the sixth in the West Valley, and seventh if you include the Filibertoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at 91st Avenue and Thomas Road, just east of Loop 101. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a few requests asking on the status of the Cobblestone Auto Spa, at 14031 W. Indian School Road, on county land between Goodyear and Litchfield Park city limits. The car wash closed in March, initially for a remodel, but a short investigation uncovered that the businessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; license had expired. The Cobblestone website still lists the location, as well as two others in the East Valley, as closed for remodeling. The Briefcase has had a tough time getting representatives to comment on the matter, but has learned that the company plans on reopening, but does not have a date for it to occur. Thanks to information from a reader, those with vouchers for washes can take them to other locations to either use, or get a refund. The nearest location is in Surprise at 13811 W. Bell Road. For other locations and information, visit cobblestone.com. Out in Buckeye, Boba House is open at 944 S. Watson Road, Suite 102, replacing Juice It Up!, which recently closed. Boba, the shopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s specialty, is also known as bubble tea and is a Taiwanese tea-based drink thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mixed with fruit or milk, with tapioca balls or fruit jelly mixed in. The Briefcase has yet to try it, but now officially has it on his to-do list. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all for this week, folks. Thanks for reading! As always, send questions, tips or comments via email to smcowen@westvalleyview.com. The Business Briefcase can also be reached on Twitter @ShaneMcOwen. Until next time, stay cool everyone, and have a good week.

each flight and avoiding flying at the attitude where all the incidents occurred. He said expanded training will require F-35 pilots to refresh their training every year rather than the previous five-year standard. Leonard said more than 50 experts studied the problem with the jet last week, including engineers and flight medicine specialists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a technical, human and physical solution weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re after,â&#x20AC;? he said, noting it was difficult to re-create the problem on the ground. He said maintenance practices and air crew flight equipment were found to be sound and eliminated as causes. Built by Lockheed-Martin, F-35s have flown at Luke since 2014. With 55 of the planes stationed at the base, Luke has one-quarter of the Air Forceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s F-35 fleet and the largest concentration of the fighter jet, Leonard said. Eighty American and international pilots based at Luke average about 40 F-35 flights daily, he said. Fleet-wide, the F-35 has been flown in 86,000 sorties, with 23 operational incidents of some kind reported, Leonard said. The five recent incidents at Luke are among 10 where a cause has not been determined, he said. While the planes were grounded, pilots joined the effort to study the problem with the jet, Leonard said. To help gain pilot confidence, a town hall meeting was conducted with spouses of the pilots to discuss the issues, Leonard said. Luke was the only base where the planes were grounded.

OUR VIEWPOINT

GRANLUND’S OPINION — PoliticalCartoons.com

EDITORIAL

In search of the missing votes Well, it didn’t take 12 months. It only took about two days to get our answer from Goodyear. And when you factor in the city’s wonky election math, it makes sense … kind of. Last week, we wrote an editorial about the way the city calculates election results, namely counting over and under votes as votes cast, and how its methodology has resulted in some costly, unnecessary runoff elections. In the same editorial, we wrote about the city’s formula for calculating election results. The city’s charter reads: “At the primary election, any candidate who shall receive a majority of all the votes cast at such election shall be declared elected to the office for which he is a candidate, and no further election shall be held as to said candidate.” Arizona Revised Statutes 9-821.01 reads: “Notwithstanding any other law or any charter provision, a city or town may by ordinance provide that at the primary election any candidate for the office of mayor or city council who receives a majority of all votes cast at that election for that office shall be declared elected to the office for which the person is a candidate, effective as of the date of the general election, and no further election shall be held as to such candidate.” But in more than one of Goodyear’s past elections, the city used the formula of “50 percent of the ballots cast plus one ballot.” Ballots, not votes. That didn’t make sense to us. Aside from deviating from charter and state statute language, that formula couldn’t possibly work for a multiple-seat race. So we asked the city about it, but didn’t get the answer till a couple of hours after we went to press. Quick recap, here’s how a majority is calculated (straight from A.R.S. 9-821.01): The majority of votes cast is determined by: 1. Calculating the total number of actual votes cast for all candidates for an office whose names were lawfully on the ballot for that office. 2. Dividing the sum reached pursuant to paragraph 1 of this subsection by the number of seats to be filled for the office. 3. Dividing the number reached pursuant to paragraph 2 of this subsection by two and rounding that number to the highest whole number. The city’s answer was that it simply multiplies the number of ballots cast by the number of open seats to arrive at the total number of votes cast. Plug that number into the A.R.S. formula to determine a majority and voila, it’s the same as 50 percent of the ballots cast plus one. Never mind that not all voters cast a vote for every open seat while others cast extra votes. If three seats are on the ballot, every ballot counts as three votes in Goodyear. It all comes back to those pesky over and under votes … kind of … maybe. Say five people are running for three seats in Goodyear and you only vote for one. Your ballot counts as three votes cast: one vote for a candidate and two under votes. This is where it gets tricky and we’re still waiting to hear back from Goodyear on this one. Say those same five people are running for three seats in Goodyear and you vote for all five of them. You have cast two over votes. We laid out this exact scenario to the city and it confirmed our math — two over votes. But if every ballot represented three votes, how was the third vote counted? The city clerk was right when she said it’s complicated. We’re just thankful that Goodyear is our only West Valley city that uses such wonky math when calculating election results, and we have our fingers crossed that that will change now that sitting council members are asking the same questions we are.

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

etters to the editor are published without any editing. Any errors in spelling, punctuation or grammar are those of the author. Two online reader polls have indicated that a majority of View readers prefer that the letters not be edited.

Our teachers, school buses Editor: Now that my last child has graduated from high school I feel I can complain about teachers without fear of retaliation. The teachers at the schools my children have attended have all been very nice people. Of course I too would most likely be a nicer person if I earned full time pay for a part-time job. Having summers off, fall break, spring break, Christmas break, Thanksgiving and all federal holidays off (plus the Friday’s before) must do wonders for a person’s demeanor. Just 180 days of work a year for teachers, and there’s more! High school teachers also have a new scam known as “late start” now two times during the school week. “Late start” begs the question; do teachers put in an 8 hour day, every day? I also wonder if teachers are subjected to mandatory and random drug testing like the rest of the working world.

Also, how much money would the school districts save if they charged users for school bus service? Do even a quarter of total students use bus service? All schools public or private should be served by school buses if they’re available since everyone pays school tax. Traffic associated with the pick-up and drop-off of students not using bus service is a nightmare at all schools. Students pay fees for sports and band, why not pay for the bus ride separate too? If not enough students use buses cancel the program. The tourism lobby will never allow year around school. Who does our state government side with, schools or tourism? Disneyland wants summer vacations! And clearly the teachers union will take all the time off they can get. Full time pay for full time work, part-time pay for part-time work, teaching jobs is part-time. Harry Callahan Goodyear

Political correct terrorism Editor: Recently, a Muslim terrorist Salman Abedi set off a bomb which killed 22 people and injured many more at a concert in Manchester, England. Prior

to that , Abedi, a British citizen, spent time in Syria being trained in terrorism. Why was he not taken into custody upon his return to England ? Over the last few decades, because of empathy, millions of Muslim have been allowed to enter Europe and the United States. Most were never vetted. These people do not want to assimilate. They want to live by sharia law. Many hate the country which took them in. Politicians tell us that terrorism is the new normal They say most Muslims are law-abiding people and not terrorists. That is true. However, the fact is all ISIL terrorists are MUSLIMS , and the world needs to deal with that Because of political correctness, most European governments are soft on terrorism. instead of deporting the Muslims who have ties to terrorism, and they know who they are, these politically correct progressive politicians, especially Merkel of Germany, are gutless buffoons scared of offending someone, and thus do nothing to protect the people. All they do is make excuses for the terrorists. Europe is a time bomb waiting to explode, thanks to years of empathy, tolerance, diversity and multiculturalism . Are Europes leaders insane ? Maybe. These snow flake progressives who (See Letters on Page 7)

Because of their progressive ideology, many innocent people have died Fortunately we are better off than Europe . President Trump sees the problem and is taking a hard line against it. Hillary, had she won, would have expanded the empathy and expanded terrorism in America. Roy Azzarello Goodyear

Cartoon was appalling Editor: I am upset about the cartoon on page 6 of the June 7th edition. Griffin using the beheading of President Trump as a way to amuse people was bad enough (she admitted later that she had gone to far) but to have our local paper continue by printing this cartoon is appalling to me. I expected more from a paper that I have been reading for over 40 years. Fred L. Amator Goodyear

In defense of Goodyear Editor: I read Mr. Callahan’s recent criticism of Goodyear, and was candidly surprised that a long time resident could hold such a poor opinion of our great community. I too moved from the Midwest and am

Goodyear gov’t needs new blood Editor: We wish to respond to Mr. Callahan’s comments on 6/7/17. We too moved to Goodyear from the Midwest in 2003 in search of a warmer winter climate and all the appurtenances a new community might provide. Even though we were not retired, we moved to Pebblecreek as it seemed to offer a lot. Our first five years here proved to be very exciting; shortly after that, we became disenchanted, both with Pebblecreek and the government of Goodyear which seems to favor it and Luke Air Force Base. Pebblecreek is a self-centered community and it cares very little about anyone else — especially families. Granted some do a bit of volunteering, but we found the greater majority were only concerned with their own selfish pursuits. If you do not play golf, very few want anything to do with you. The City is being run by many with this mindset. We need some young blood and new ideas on the City Council. We are not aware of ‘the avenues’ of which you speak, but there certainly are pockets of gang type activities in the area. That coupled with the over abundance of dollar stores and cheap chain restaurants as well as the inability to build the mall promised in 2003 add up to a less than desirable environment. Goodyear has an incredible dearth of amenities provided for residents of the east valley. Why not bring in the quality places we desire instead of more of the same old stuff on every corner. We have moved from Pebblecreek to a more accommodating environment in Palm Valley with the hope that maybe the voters

will wake up and bring in some new life into our City government so that we can change the undesirable pattern which has evolved here. We are all worth it. Ginny Boyle Goodyear

The grass is not always greener Editor: Over 2000 years ago, a Greek mathematician named Euclid wrote, “Things which are equal to the same thing are equal to each other.” In his book, Euclid says this is “self-evident”. If a=c, and b=c, then a=b. It is simple and beautiful because it works, even on things that are not mathematical. For instance, if SNOB = one who is patronizing to those he considers to be inferior, and Harry Callahan’s letter entitled “Low Class West Side” June 7th = patronizing to those he considers

to be inferior, then... I’m sure you can figure out the rest. Among the many virtues of the West Side, one virtue stands out, which is why I also moved here in 2002. That virtue is affordable housing! Compared to the east side, I got a bigger bang for my buck here in the west side. The same model home being built in Chandler by the same builder at that time was much more, just because it was on the east side. My quality of life here on the west side is much better than it would have been on the east side, where it is more expensive! Housing, property taxes, HOA fees, food, entertainment, shopping and the like, are all more expensive on the east side. My money has greater buying power here on the west side. I like that. That has nothing to do with “class”. It has to do with economics and being fiscally conservative. Patrick Orr Avondale

raising a family (5 kids) here in Goodyear. Reasonable minds can disagree, but I felt the View’s readers should have a different perspective. With regard to education, my children attend a top notch charter school on a beautiful new campus (in Goodyear) that I would put up against anything in the east valley…. period. With regard to youth sports, my children have had numerous opportunities to participate in city sponsored volleyball, little league baseball, swim lessons, etc. (all in Goodyear) that were all well run, reasonably priced, and utilized good facilities in the community. With regard to the views, I’ll take our views of the Estrellas and White Tanks any day, and have often felt we have the best mountain views in the valley. With regard to entertainment, we have a first class major league spring training facility, the nicest movie theatre I’ve ever been to, and a great mix of ‘mom and pop’ and national dining options (ever tried a Dino’s gyro or a Garden Pizza cheese pizza?). I also think our city leaders have done a nice job of requiring aesthetically pleasing retail and commercial development. Our city has several great options for places of worship. Our streets are well policed. My only critique would be needing to provide more family friendly park/waterpark facilities in Wildflower/Canyon Trails/ Cottonflower area of our city. I guess the grass is always greener on the other side, but I would recommend young families take a good hard look at Goodyear and see all that we really have here.

Everybody hates losing. You can say that it’s OK, it was fun, you had a good time, but all that means is you’re really not a true competitor. Losing sucks. It’s the worst. Something I realized following this year’s NBA Finals is that winning, with all the euphoria that it brings, is really more a relief of not losing. The reason: because the heartbreak you suffer from losing hurts so bad. And, more importantly, it lingers. As a Bay Area native, I’ve watched the Golden State Warriors since I was old enough to dribble a basketball. In fact, I was so young and naive that I used to think double dribble was when you bounced the ball twice on the ground. My best friend will never let me live that one down. But as a youngster Casey Pritchard going to games at Oracle Arena, then called Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena (that’s a mouthful) I watched Tim Hardaway, Mitch Richmond and Chris Mullin, or Run TMC, as they were known. The Warriors were never very good, and it was hard to be a fan, especially watching them endure a stretch of 12 straight seasons without a playoff appearance. They finally made it in 2006-07, and won a series, but then went five more years without sniffing the postseason. That brings us to 2015. An amazing regular season was capped by an impressive run through the playoffs, culminating with the Warriors’ first title in 40 years. It felt really good, especially being a fan my whole life and having never experienced that. Then 2016 hit. After the best regular season in NBA history, the Warriors lost to the Cavaliers in the Finals. Adding insult to injury was the fact that it was the first time a team had ever blown a 3-1 lead in the Finals. Everyone ripped the Warriors for not really being the best team ever, because they couldn’t back up the regular season record with a title. Everything about that hurt, and hurt for a while. I couldn’t listen to the radio for weeks without getting sick every time they mentioned the Warriors’ “collapse.” When I saw highlights or replays of the Finals on TV, I turned it off. It was the longest summer ever, and all I wanted was for the 2016-17 season to start so I could get past what happened and focus on a new year. This season, the Warriors answered the bell — obviously Kevin Durant was a huge piece, but they did it in dominating fashion, leaving no questions. I was excited. I jumped up and down with my friend. I watched the parade and felt giddy the entire time. Then, I realized my happiness was more of an exhale. It was a “Thank goodness they didn’t blow it again,” and an “I won’t have to deal with the scrutiny like last year.” The magnitude of my joy was far less than the magnitude of my despair from the year before. Sports can be vicious. You try to look at the bigger picture, that only one team is going to end the season happy. But sometimes, not making the playoffs is an easier fate to handle than getting oh so close to winning, and then having the carpet pulled right out from underneath you. If you had never stepped on the carpet, you would have felt OK. Now, you’ve landed on your face, and the cuts and bruises from the ground have a sting that lasts. I’m not saying I don’t want to win. Winning is like a drug. It’s a fantastic feeling, and makes you want to win even more. But I really don’t want to lose. Oh the agony. Not all the drugs in the world can get me over that pain.

With the NBA Finals wrapped up, and the MLB season months away from the playoff push, View Sports is venturing into the unknown, taking a look at popular sports around the globe that maybe aren’t so big in our own backyard. Over the next few issues, we’ll tackle what it’s like to learn popular sports from scratch, and see what we find. Today’s sport: Cricket. Folks who love baseball, or even hate it but just know the rules, will recognize portions of cricket. The other parts? Well, they’ll seem like they’ve been produced from alien worlds for those, like me, who are not familiar. Cricket is one of the oldest modern organized sports around, with roots back to the 17th century in England. Despite the United States featuring in the first international match, the sport never took off here as it did in other English colonies. It’s most popular in the United Kingdom, Australia-New Zealand, the Indian subcontinent, southern Africa and various spots in the Caribbean. My knowledge going in was very rudimentary. Sure, there’s a bat and ball, an enormous field with a rectangular patch in the center and some recognizable terminology. After that, there was a lot to learn. The optics are simple. Twenty-two players on the field in total, 11 for each team, with two umpires. There’s a bat, flat on one side and bulged on the other, and a ball, similar in size to a baseball, sewn together to create two hemispheres, and is either red or white. The field dimensions are actually very similar to baseball, where the infield is the same size everywhere, but the outfield dimensions vary from ballpark to ballpark. The pitch, where the majority of the action takes place, is a fixed distance of 66 by 10 feet, where as the oval-shaped field should have a minimum diameter of 450 feet, but can vary in size, according to international competition standards.

of the batsman’s body, and would have hit the wicket, as judged by the umpire. A batter is out on a run out if a fielding player uses the ball to remove bails from either set of stumps before the batsmen can get to the other side of the pitch to score a run. Stumping is the most complicated of the common methods for dismissing a batter. One example is the batter missing the ball with a swing, and moving out of his crease during the attempt. The wicketkeeper must knock down the wicket with the ball before the batter can touch any part of the crease with his body or bat. Scores are on the high end of the numeric system. For example, Pakistan defeated India 338/4 to 158/10, winning by 180 runs, in an international match on June 18. The scoring notation lists runs scored first, followed by wickets taken. Wickets taken simply means how many outs the fielding team forced by knocking the bails from the stumps. Pakistan, for example, took four wickets, meaning six of the dismissals could have come from catching the ball in the air. Teams batting last can win by wickets taken when they score more runs than their opponent with having batsmen still not dismissed. If a team eclipses the opponent’s runs total and have only had four batsmen dismissed, they’re said to have won by six wickets. There are various versions of the sport that go on longer than one inning, sometimes spilling over across multiple days. Australia is the current Cricket World Cup holders, and have won the most, five, in the 40-plus years of the competition. Anyone itching to try out their new-found knowledge can get involved with the Arizona Cricket Association. The ACA organizes tournaments and leagues across the Valley.

West Valley View, Avondale, Arizona, Wednesday, June 21, 2017

The pitch is the cricket equivalent of the pitching mound and batters box in baseball. On each end are wickets, consisting of wooden pieces: Three vertical stumps and two, smaller horizontal bails connecting the stumps. The simplest form of the game is each team batting for one inning, attempting to produce the most runs. The fielding team sends all 11 players to the outfield, including the bowler and wicketkeeper — or pitcher and catcher for those keeping up with the baseball comparisons — to prevent runs. The batting team sends out two players, the striker and the non-striker, to opposite ends of the pitch. The striker attempts to hit the ball delivered by the bowler, and once he does, both players run to the opposite end of the pitch in an attempt to score runs. Batters can score multiple runs per hit, most notably on sixes and fours. A six occurs when the ball is hit over the end-field boundary in the air, awarding the batting team six runs. A four is similar to a six, except the ball hits the ground before going over the boundary, awarding the team four runs. A six is like a home run in baseball, while a four is similar to the ground-rule double. The boundary is usually designated with a rope or a small fence. Now, it’s not a free-for-all for the batting team. Each player is allowed to bat for as long as they can until the outfield team can produce an out, dismissing them from the field. Since players bat in pairs, the outfield team must dismiss 10 of the 11 from their opponents, since one batter can’t be up there alone, to end the inning. Batters can be dismissed in a number of ways. The most common are called being bowled, caught, leg before wicket, run out and stumped. The batter is retired by being bowled when the bowler’s delivery hits the stumps and completely removes one bail. The ball can directly hit, or can be deflected off the bat into the wicket, for an out. A batter is also out if the ball hit is caught by an outfielder before it hits the ground, just like in baseball. Leg before wicket refers to the ball striking any part

Dickson signs with Chaminade University Westview softball star heading to Honolulu by Shane McOwen sports writer

A Westview softball star will be saying aloha to a collegiate athletic career in the fall. Devan Dickson has signed on to play softball at Chaminade University of Honolulu in Hawaii, a four-year college that competes in the Pacific West Conference of the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division II. Dickson was named 6A Southwest Region Player of the Year in her lone season at Westview, helping the Lady Knights win their region with an undefeated record. Dickson hit .512 with seven home runs, drove in 38 RBIs and went 12-4 from the circle with a 3.89 ERA in 93.2 innings pitched. Dickson led the team in home runs and batting average. Dickson said she was thrilled with the offer and is looking forward to continuing her softball career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was kind of like, are you serious? I really get this opportunity to play in Hawaii for school?â&#x20AC;? Dickson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was pretty excited. Not really nervous, more excited to have the experience and have the opportunity to do what I love, which is to play softball.â&#x20AC;? Dickson was contemplating between a softball offer from Glendale Community College, a two-year school, and an academic full ride from Arizona State University. With the Chaminade scholarship, Dickson was able to check both boxes at one institution. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the things that I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry about is finding a four-year school [after attending junior college],â&#x20AC;? Dickson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have my four years worked out. That was a big relief.â&#x20AC;? Her coach at Westview, Larry Wonner, shared Dicksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sentiments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just glad she was able to get

Wonner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She could have went academic full ride, and education is important to her. We werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even sure if she wanted to keep playing, and she did. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always that risk going [junior college] and then still having to pay for college [the last two years] because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no guarantee that anyone is going to pick you up.â&#x20AC;? Dickson plans on studying business and accounting at Chaminade, and is considering a career in financial forensics or a similar type of field once her softball days are done.

Hard road Dickson had a difficult time during the recruiting process because of some back issues that flared up during her freshman

year of high school. She had a pre-stress fracture and a section where cartilage should be separated, but wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, in two different places along her spine. That knowledge turned a lot of schools off from the beginning of the process, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had one of the schools where I flat out told them,â&#x20AC;? Dickson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I sent them my pitching videos on YouTube and let them know I had back injury issues, and they were like, well, good luck to you. They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even want to look at me.â&#x20AC;? Dickson then tried another route with the process, letting schools know about the prior injuries after letting them see what she could do on the diamond. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went on a few college visits and told them there, after I got done with pitching,â&#x20AC;?

Dickson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They said, well you look good, or we can work around it.â&#x20AC;? Dicksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back issues werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just a sore spot with colleges. They almost kept her out of softball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t planning on playing softball anymore,â&#x20AC;? Dickson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was coming here and had a full ride to Florida for a junior school, and I was trying for a four year. My back was really messed up then.â&#x20AC;? Dickson had received shots in her back to help ease the pain before her junior year, which worked well enough to allow her to play with minimal discomfort. The shots before her senior year were a different story. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work,â&#x20AC;? she said. Dickson ended up going to Westviewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open-field preseason workouts, where her back began to feel better. She began to focus working out her core to strengthen her back, which improved her injury situation even more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody kept telling me to work out core, work out core,â&#x20AC;? Dickson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I did, and my back didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt as much as it used to. I [started feeling] like maybe I could get a scholarship.â&#x20AC;? Dickson began sending her information out to various colleges, eventually securing a spot at Glendale Community College, before accepting a scholarship to Chaminade. Dickson is the second Lady Knight from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior class to commit to a four-year school. Ceairra Perez signed on to play for Division II Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Mo., in November 2016. In all, everything worked out for the best, Dickson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I actually think moving here and playing this season was worth it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think my other school would have given me as much of an opportunity to even go this far. We had a good relationship [as a team]. There werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cliques. We all got to know each other and were able to play by each other. It was an awesome season.â&#x20AC;?

Growth as a player Robinson said what he learned most about playing high school basketball is how to work as a team. “It can’t just be one player who can do it all, you’ve got to work as a team and everyone has to buy in to what the coach is telling you for the team to be successful,” Robinson said. “That’s what I’m all about.” Playing point guard has also helped Robinson become a leader. “As a point guard, you’ve got to always come in making sure everybody is on top of their game,” Robinson said. “You kind of run the show. It’s not just you, obviously, but you help everyone get in their groove.” Gutwein said Robinson always had that

Altherr, who was drafted by Philadelphia in 2009 and made his major league debut in 2014, is having a strong start to the season. He’s batting .278 with 12 home runs and 37 RBI, to go along with 15 doubles and 32 runs scored (all stats through Monday). Altherr is making his first appearance at Chase Field as a member of the Phillies.

British Soccer Camps coming to West Valley Challenger Sports is putting on British Soccer Camps throughout the West Valley in June and July. The camps are open to boys and girls ages 3 to 16, and times vary by camp. The program contains innovative

The camp will take place at different local parks: from June 26-30 it will be at both Goodyear Community Park, 3151 N. Litchfield Road, Goodyear, and American Sports Center Avondale, 755 N. 114th Ave., Avondale; July 5-9 at Thomas Park, 1433 W. Thomas Road, Goodyear; and July 24-28 at Goodyear Community Park.

leadership ability in him, regardless of what position he played on the court. “But obviously, being the point guard, it was great to have such a natural leader that was always, if not the hardest working guy in the gym, he was right there with the hardest working guys,” Gutwein said. “He led by example and his effort was always impeccable.” Robinson has not yet visited Skagit Valley, but is excited to make the move because of the vast climate change. “I’ve been up to Oregon because my brother lives there; I like it way better than here because it’s getting too hot for me, so I could use the change,” Robinson said. Robinson plans to major in business management and administration. “That will give me a wide variety of things I can choose from,” Robinson said. He leaves in September for school. Gutwein thinks Robinson will fit in well, he said. “I coached collegiately for 10 years and Chad played at a very high level Division II, so we both know what coaches are looking for and Ricky will fit right in with that type of culture,” Gutwein said.

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

The United States Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service has announced a recall on spaghetti and meatball products produced by Conagra Brands Inc. The following items are subject to recall: • 14.75-ounce cans with “Libby’s Spaghetti and Meatballs made with pork, chicken and beef in tomato sauce” on the label with package code 2100701200 and a use by date of Jan. 2, 2019. • 14.75-ounce cans with “Del Pino’s Spaghetti & Meatballs made with pork, chicken and beef in tomato

sauce” on the label with package code 2100701200 and a use by date of Jan. 2, 2019. • 14.75-ounce cans with “Hy-Top Spaghetti and Meatballs made with pork, chicken and beef in tomato sauce” on the label with package code 2100701200 and a use by date of Jan. 2, 2019. • 14.75-ounce cans with “Food Hold Spaghetti & Meatballs made with pork, chicken and beef in tomato sauce” on the label with package code 2100701200 and a use by date of Jan. 2, 2019. • 14.75-ounce cans with “Essential Everyday Spaghetti with Meatballs made with pork, chicken and beef in tomato sauce” on the label with package code 2100701200 and a use by date of Jan. 2, 2019. • 14.75-ounce cans with “Chef Boyardee Mini Pasta Shells & Meatballs, Pasta and Meatballs made with pork, chicken and beef in tomato sauce” on the label with package code 2100700500 and a use by date of Dec. 26, 2018. The products subject to recall bear establishment No. 794M inside the USDA mark of inspection.
