BUCKEYE POLICE CHIEF LARRY HALL speaks to community members as they prepare to begin a new search grid section July 20 in Buckeye. Residents joined forces with first responders to search for 10-year-old Jesse Wilson of Buckeye, who has been missing since the evening of July 17.

Search continues for missing boy

Buckeye 10-year-old last seen July 17 near Watson, Yuma roads by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

It’s been more than a week since Jesse Wilson went missing from his house in Buckeye. The 10-year-old boy was last seen sleeping in his bed at 9:30 p.m. July 17 near Watson and Yuma roads. When his mother went to check on him four hours later, Jesse was gone. Crystal Wilson immediately called the Buckeye Police Department’s non-emergency line to report her son missing, telling the dispatcher that he’s run away before. But Jesse has never been gone so long, said Sgt. Jason Weeks, a spokesman with the Buckeye Police Department. Hundreds of volunteers scoured the Buckeye area last week, looking for clues to help find the boy.

Residents, Buckeye council members, city staff, law enforcement agencies from across the Valley, members of the FBI and bloodhounds searched the fields by Jesse’s house and also at nearby Skyline Regional Park. The efforts were suspended after only a few hours each day because of the heat and humidity, but police continued to search in rougher terrain with aircraft. On Sunday night, Bradley Creemos Academy in Goodyear held a gathering to thank volunteers and re-energize the search effort. Jesse would be starting fourth grade at the school Aug. 8. “Let tonight be a reminder that every day we have to strive and stay focused on bringing him home,” Bradley Academy President Daniel Hughes said.

While holding the family dog, Crystal spoke briefly to thank those who have taken part in the search for her son. “I just want to thank everybody for coming out and supporting Jesse,” she said. “I just want to let everybody know I appreciate every bit from the Jesse Wilson youngest child to the oldest adult.” Crystal also made a public plea last week (See Search on Page 5)

View hosting blood drive Aug. 3 Donations needed to combat nationwide shortage by Shane McOwen sports writer

Blood. Everyone has it. But it’s still hard to come by, especially during the summer months. To help combat the seasonal shortage, the West

Valley View is hosting a United Blood Services blood drive from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Aug. 3 at 1050 E. Riley Drive in Avondale. Between part-time residents and people getting out of town to cooler weather, United Blood Services has a tough time keeping its reserves up, said Sue Thew, a spokeswoman with the nonprofit.

United Blood Services supplies 100 percent of the blood for 64 hospitals in 11 Arizona counties, and this summer just may be the toughest one yet, Thew said. “National experts are saying we’re in the midst of the worst summer blood shortage our nation has ever seen,” she said. Blood banks are in constant need of donations (See Blood drive on Page 5)

Cities asked to support center for veterans Community college project seeks funds from W.V. communities by Glenn Gullickson staff writer

City councils in the West Valley are being asked to contribute to the financial support of a new regional center that will help military veterans transition back to civilian life. The proposed West Valley Center for Veterans is part of the Veterans Success Project spearheaded by Maricopa Community Colleges. To house the new center, the project is working to secure a building formerly used as a visitors welcome center at Luke Air Force Base, according to Steve Yamamori, vice president of veterans initiatives for the colleges. During a presentation at a recent Goodyear City Council meeting, Yamamori said the Maricopa Community Colleges Foundation hopes to raise $4 to $5 million for an endowment that would cover $200,000 in annual operations costs for the West Valley center. He said the center will need $70,000 for start-up costs. The money would be part of an $11 million fundraising campaign that would also fund a similar facility the college system has operated for about three years in Tempe. “All support raised within the West Valley will go to support the West Valley center,” he said. Thirteen cities in the West Valley are being asked to contribute funds as part of $2.5 million to $3.5 million the project hopes to raise from municipalities, Yamamori said. A similar amount is hoped to be raised from corporate sponsors, with $3.5 million to $5.5 million coming from federal sources and $1 million to $1.5 million from individuals.

The proposal for funding from the cities is based on census data, using the number of veterans who live in each city as a percentage of the estimated 114,000 veteran population in the West Valley. • Goodyear is being asked to contribute $150,000 based on a population of 6,353 veterans. • Avondale, with 5,038 veterans, would be asked for $112,000. • Buckeye, with 3,364 veterans, would be asked for $75,000. • Litchfield Park, with 520 veterans, would be asked for $12,500. • Tolleson, with 304 veterans, would be asked for $12,500. Payments would be divided over five years, Yamamori said. Besides Goodyear, Yamamori said he’s presented the plan at city council meetings in Litchfield Park, Tolleson and Surprise. Goodyear council members reacted favorably to the project, but have taken no action on the request. Yamamori declined to say which cities have committed to the project. “The response has been unbelievable,” he said. “This is truly shaping up to be one of the best examples of regional cooperation.” A similar fundraising effort will be conducted in the East Valley after the West Valley center opens, although the date for opening has not been determined, Yamamori said. It’s estimated that there are about 10,000 veterans among the 250,000 students attending the 10 community

colleges, which includes Estrella Mountain Community College in Avondale. The Veterans Success Project has the potential of serving up to 100,000 veterans over the next 10 years, Yamamori said. The concept is for veterans to meet with case workers to review education, employment and human services resources available to them. Veterans who pursue education often do so through community colleges, but on average are less successful than other students, with 80 percent requiring remedial classes, Yamamori said. The community college system announced plans for the project late last year and enlisted community leaders to serve on an advisory board to help locate a building for the center. Yamamori said Luke Air Force Base is offering a building without charge outside the Lightning Gate at the southeast corner of the base on Litchfield Road. The building hasn’t been used for about a year, he said. The project hopes to obtain the keys to the Luke building in three to six months, he said. The 1,500-square-foot structure’s location is attractive since it’s near a military population that the center could eventually serve, Yamamori said. It’s also near a bus terminal and has about 20 parking spots, he said. Since the building is outside the gates of the base, it can be accessed without a pass, he said. Paint and carpeting will be donated to refurbish the building, he said. Glenn Gullickson can be reached at ggullickson@westvalleyview.com.

A Buckeye man is facing charges of manslaughter and aggravated assault following a fatal crash July 17 at Jackrabbit Trail and Yuma Road in Buckeye. Court records show Joseph Knowles, 26, was allegedly driving 72 mph in a 45 mph zone at about 5:45 p.m. when his Dodge Ram 1500 pickup truck crashed into the back of a Nissan Sentra that was stopped at a stop sign. The vehicles slid more than 200 feet from the crash site. Rosalba Ontiveros, 22, was a passenger in the car and died at Abrazo West Campus in Goodyear, said Detective Doug Matteson, a spokesman with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office. Her husband, Samuel Ontiveros, 35, was driving and

had a broken shoulder, Matteson said. Knowles told deputies he received a text message and looked down at his phone shortly before the crash. Court records state he had two messages, one at 5:18 p.m. and another at 5:33 p.m. After he was transported to an MCSO substation in Avondale, drug recognition experts allegedly determined Knowles was under the influence of marijuana and possibly narcotic drugs, records state. A witness reported seeing Knowles hide something under the front seat of his truck, and a vapor smoking pen was allegedly found, records state.

Inmate dies at W.V. hospital View report

An 18-year-old inmate from Perryville Prison in Goodyear died July 20 at a West Valley hospital, officials said. Mariam Abdullah was admitted to Abrazo West Campus the previous night after prison staff found her unresponsive in her cell from an apparent suicide attempt, according to a press release by the Arizona Department of Corrections. Staff performed life-saving measures until paramedics arrived, the release stated. Abdullah was sentenced to three years in prison out of Maricopa County for a May 2014 armed robbery. All inmate deaths are investigated in consultation with the county medical examiner’s office.

Avondale man shot outside his home View report

A 45-year-old man was shot early Thursday morning outside his house near Central Avenue and Harrison Drive in Avondale, officials said. Officers responded at about 2:30 a.m. and found the victim with a gunshot wound to his arm, said Sgt. Mathew Hintz, a spokesman with the Avondale Police Department.

Four unidentified suspects approached the victim in front of his house and shot him during an altercation, Hintz said. He was transported to the hospital in stable condition with non-life-threatening injuries, Hintz said. No arrests have been made at this time, and the investigation is ongoing, he said.

2 toddlers rescued from locked cars in separate incidents in Avondale by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

Firefighters responded to two calls Tuesday regarding toddlers who were locked inside vehicles in Avondale, officials said. A 3-year-old boy was rescued from a hot car at about 1:30 p.m. after being trapped inside for 20 minutes at the Avondale Family Health Centre near Van Buren Street and Eliseo Felix Jr. Way in Avondale, said Division Chief Ben Avitia, a spokesman with Avondale Fire and Medical. His father told deputies that he was at the clinic to pick up the boy’s mother, when he left the keys in the vehicle and walked around to get the child out. When he closed the driver’s side door, the boy put the key in the ignition and the doors locked, said Officer Courtney Palma, a spokeswoman with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office. The father called AAA before calling 911, but witnesses ran to a nearby MCSO substation for help. Deputy Daniel Rivera and his partner responded to the scene and broke the car’s window. “He was soaking wet. He felt very weak, was lethargic and in need of major medical attention,” Rivera said. Firefighters treated the boy for minor heat-related

injuries, and he was transported by ambulance to Phoenix Children’s Hospital, Avitia said. He warned that in the summer heat, waiting to unlock a child in a hot car can be detrimental. “Temperatures can really escalate very quickly once there’s no air movement or any kind of release of the heat that’s trapped in the vehicle,” Avitia said. “If you’re looking at 105 degrees outside, it can really exacerbate to the 120s inside.” The younger a child is, the harder it is for the body to regulate heat, he said. Avondale police said the incident appears to be accidental, and no charges will be filed. Earlier that day, a 2-year-old boy was rescued from a locked vehicle near 99th Avenue and McDowell Road after only 5 minutes, Avitia said. Police responded at about 10:20 a.m. and broke a window to remove the child without incident, Avitia said. The boy was evaluated at the scene and released to his parents, he said.

Avondale firefighters battle 2 fires Monday by Emily Toepfer Firefighters battled two separate fires early Monday morning in Avondale less than a mile apart, and haven’t ruled out a possible connection, officials said. The first fire started at about 1:40 a.m. in a vacant house near Seventh and Doris streets, said Division Chief Ben Avitia, a spokesman with Avondale Fire and Medical. Flames moved rapidly through the boarded-up house, but firefighters were able to keep them from spreading to other buildings, Avitia said. The fire was extinguished after about an hour and a

half, and the house is a total loss, Avitia said. “It was an old, dilapidated structure, so they weren’t able to make entry right off the bat,” he said. “They got the fire contained and under control fairly quickly, but all together it’s an arduous process to make sure it’s completely extinguished.” A second fire started in an unoccupied building at about 2 a.m. on the property of Saguaro Metals, a recycling center at 201 W. Main St., Avitia said. Firefighters were able to contain the flames to one room where several items were being stored, he said. Both fires are under investigation.

Buckeye man facing charge of manslaughter in fatal July 17 crash

West Valley fire departments get grant for paramedicine program by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

Local fire departments already work together when responding to emergency calls, but now five West Valley agencies are partnering up to help prevent them before they happen. The Goodyear Fire Department recently received a $125,000 grant from the Vitalyst Health Foundation to help establish a Community Paramedicine Consortium to include Avondale, Peoria, Sun City and Surprise. The pilot program will work to address patients who are high-frequency users of the 911 system, and will also develop a regional training curriculum. It’s very similar to what the Buckeye Fire Department put into place last year, but on a regional scale, Goodyear Fire Chief Paul Luizzi said. Vitalyst is funding the project along with three other health initiatives around the state through its Innovation Grants, which support projects with the capacity to innovate new practices and become a replicable model. “For us, this is about ushering in systems change that improves health,” said Melanie Mitros, Vitalyst’s director of Strategic Community Partnerships. In the West Valley, 1,200 patients were identified who have been discharged from a hospital and readmitted within 30 days, Luizzi said. “What they actually found was the window was even shorter — it was seven days,” he said. “These are patients that for whatever reason have to go back to the hospital within a week.” When patients end up going back to the hospital, they often call 911 to get there, even if it’s not an emergency situation, Luizzi said. “It becomes just this big cycle, so we started to think about how we could potentially break that cycle by being proactive with our patients,” he said.

“It becomes just this big cycle, so we started to think about how we could potentially break that cycle by being proactive with our patients.” — Paul Luizzi Goodyear fire chief

The participating cities then identified people seen by paramedics three or more times a month or at least 12 times a year. In Goodyear, 81 patients regularly call 911 a total of 670 times a year, Luizzi said. “We call those our loyalty customers,” he said. “We have people who just need a ride to the hospital or ran out of their medicine, so they call 911.” Now, a team of paramedics will visit those patients after they’re discharged from the hospital to assess their needs, Luizzi said. “As opposed to a four-person engine responding to that type of a call, you could send a two-person vehicle to help mitigate and lessen the cost on the city,” he said. “When they do that visit, it’s going to be almost very clinical in nature. We’ll check their vital signs, make sure they’re safe in their home — no exits that are blocked, no smoke detectors out of service, no fall hazards — but we’ll also talk about the last time they’ve seen their primary care physician and if they need to see them again.” The program is also beneficial to

hospitals, which are fined under the Affordable Care Act if some patients are readmitted within 30 days, Luizzi said. “We think this program can have a lot of benefit to the hospitals, as well, and we hope at some point to be able to go back to them with some good data and look for a sustainable partnership in the future,” he said. The grant was distributed July 1, and $80,000 will be used for staff costs; $20,000 is for training development; $20,000 for other training needs, such as an outside vendor to teach; and $5,000 is set aside for a medical director. “It’s a lot about just connecting patients to resources,” Luizzi said. “If you think of us as a hub on a wheel, we wanted to be the entity that connects them to all these different resources.” The other Vitalyst grant recipients are: • Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona to establish the Cochise County Food Value Chain Initiative, which will take local, healthy food to people in health care institutions and incentivize local food production by increasing demand. • Feeding Matters to launch the Pediatric Feeding Struggle Advocacy and Early Intervention Model, which collaboratively creates a medically recognized name for pediatric feeding struggles and establishes replicable and scalable norms for identification, early intervention and reimbursement. • Pima County Health Department to develop the Mothers in Arizona Moving Ahead project, an 18-month pilot program designed to map a new approach to achieve better health outcomes for young mothers in poverty and their children. The project will focus on both individual behaviors and systems change. Emily Toepfer can be reached at etoepfer@westvalleyview.com or on Twitter @EmilyToepfer.

Blood drive

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re desperately trying to get the word out to all those donors that maybe havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heard the news yet.â&#x20AC;?

(From Page 1)

Most people go through the donation process with flying colors, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rare for a donor to feel weary or fatigued afterward, Thew said. To help combat that chance, Thew recommends eating and drinking beforehand, and avoiding strenuous activity immediately following a donation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best way to prepare yourself to make sure you have a great experience is to first make sure you drink plenty of water,â&#x20AC;? Thew said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your blood is made up primarily of water, so you want to make sure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re well hydrated before you give blood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Also, you want to make sure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve eaten a meal. You do not want to give blood on an empty stomach.â&#x20AC;? Being a blood donor has a lot of benefits besides saving lives. Donors can earn reward points that can be cashed in for movie tickets, gift cards and clothing. People who give blood before Aug. 31 will also be entered to win a 2016 Volkswagen Passat. Donors must be 16 years old and weigh 110 pounds in order to participate. Additional qualifications can be found at unitedbloodservices.org. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the midst of a nationwide blood shortage,â&#x20AC;? Thew said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes, we get in situations in a community where a blood center in another state can share resources and help, but everybody across the country is experiencing this national shortage. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to our own residents to come forward and make sure their friends, family and neighbors have blood should they find themselves needing it.â&#x20AC;? Appointments for the Viewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bloodmobile drive can be made at bloodhero.com by clicking on the Locate a Blood Drive tab, and entering â&#x20AC;&#x153;West Valley View.â&#x20AC;?

On the donating path

throughout the year. There are no quick-fix mega drives at the beginning of the summer to tide over the supply until people move back into their regular routines in the fall. Certain components of blood only have a shelf life of five days. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s including the 24 to 36 hours needed to run multiple tests. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been on critical appeal for blood since June 7,â&#x20AC;? Thew said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As of today, we have less than a one-day supply of O-positive and O-negative blood. Both of those blood types are transfused at a much higher rate than the breakdown by population.â&#x20AC;? Typical factors that lead to a smaller supply in the summer are long holiday weekends, vacations and the end of drives sponsored by high schools, which make up 10 percent of United Blood Servicesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; supply, Thew said. Hospitals used donated blood at a 13-percent higher rate than normal in May, contributing to an even lower supply than whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expected this time of year, Thew said. The Zika virus also contributed to this summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s low blood supply. People who visited some countries with tropical climates, including Mexico, had to wait 28 days upon returning to the U.S. before they were able to donate blood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That impacted about 2 to 3 percent of the blood supply nationwide,â&#x20AC;? Thew said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With Arizona being a border state, particularly in areas like Yuma and San Luis, we were seeing up to a third of the donors being deferred. We were having to cancel a lot of the blood drives.â&#x20AC;? A test has since been developed to identify the virus in donated blood, Thew said. The Food and Drug Administration lifted the 28-day waiting period on July 18, and now United Blood Services is trying to get the word out to make up for lost donations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We imagine that the 2 or 3 percent could be [2,000] or 3,000 donors just in the Valley who are eligible but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come because they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think they could,â&#x20AC;? Thew said.

OUR VIEWPOINT

ZYGLIS’ OPINION — The Buffalo News

EDITORIAL

Meck, Youngker, Guy, Hess have our support After attending three Buckeye City Council candidate forums in as many weeks, we are ready to make our endorsements. This go round, the mayor’s and three of the city’s six districts’ seats are up for grabs. Current Mayor Jackie Meck, Councilman Brian McAchran and newcomer Thomas Campanella are running for mayor. Newcomers Tedy Burton, Kathryn Baillie and Tony Youngker are running for District 1. Newcomers Jeanine Guy and Joe Federico are running for District 2. And newcomer Jarvis Berry and current Councilwoman and Vice Mayor Michelle Hess are running for District 3. We recommend Meck for mayor and Youngker for District 1, Guy for District 2 and Hess for District 3. All of them impressed us with their vast knowledge of the issues affecting Buckeye, namely the invasive salt cedars that have taken over the Gila River, choking out native species and sucking the river dry while causing fire and flood dangers. Burton and Berry didn’t seem to realize the very real danger the tamarisks pose, with Burton stating that he was against ridding the river of the trees and didn’t think the city should be wasting money on that particular endeavor. Berry said he felt the city could have waited to address the salt cedars. Both men seemed more interested in social programs to help people hurt by the economic downturn get back on their feet, which is a noble undertaking, but not more important than the town as a whole, which will inevitably flood if the river isn’t taken care of. Berry pointed out that the river “isn’t Buckeye,” and he’s partially right. Parts of the river flow through neighboring cities while other parts flow through Buckeye and county land, but as Meck pointed out, floods don’t know the difference between them. Meck also pointed out that the city’s wastewater treatment plant is in the floodplain, and if it flooded, sewage would be washed into the Gila, which empties into the Colorado River. Along with tainting a major source of drinking water for western states, the city would incur harsh fines from the federal government. Federico came off as clueless regarding each and every one of Buckeye’s issues, without ever coming close to using his allotted three minutes on any of his answers. Berry mentioned more than once his desire to build a church, not another church, but a church as if residents don’t already have close to 40 to choose from. We thought it was an odd platform to campaign on, especially considering churches don’t really do anything for the city’s tax base. In fact, one could argue that they’re more of a detriment since they’re nonprofits but still require city services. Don’t get us wrong, we’re not knocking churches, we just think the city has more than enough. Neither Federico nor Berry returned candidate questionnaires sent by the View. Youngker is a lifelong Buckeye resident, and although he has only been to one council meeting in the last year, he is a board member of the Buckeye Main Street Coalition and has a keen understanding of the unique issues affecting the city. He also owns a restaurant on Main Street, proving he’s 100 percent invested in the city he lives in as well as extremely accessible to his constituents. Guy has worked for the city for 17 years, holding positions from head librarian to town manager. She is well educated on everything Buckeye and is directly responsible for starting the ball (See Support on Page 9)

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.

Email scandal Editor: I just wrote my Senators and urged them to launch an immediate investigation into: 1. The more than 5 million emails “lost” by George W. Bush in 2007. (http://www.salon. com/2015/03/12/the_George_w_ bush_email_scandal_the_media_ has_conveniently_forgotten_ partner/). 2. The 22 million emails Karl Rove deleted from a private server in the Bush White House in 2007.

Congress, you’d better get started! Ann-Louise Truschel Buckeye

Don’t vote for Jackie Meck Editor: When going to the polls, think of what has happened in Buckeye with the water rates. For those of you in an HOA, your common-area irrigation rates have DOUBLED. Next up: HOA dues increases to pay this for this huge rate hike. Blame goes to Mayor Jackie Meck, primarily. And the “Egg Man”. Buying up a private company & turning it into a “cash cow” for the city is wrong-headed, and unjust. Vote him & the other incompetents OUT. Chris Bright Buckeye

Re-elect Kenn Weise

to remain as Mayor of Avondale Avondale has taken many strides to show that it is proud of, and cares about, the members representing all branches of the Armed Forces in the community, especially it’s veterans. Mayor Weise has led Avondale through several veteran focused events and initiatives leading to recognition by the Governor’s office and the Arizona Coalition for Military Families as an Arizona Veteran Supportive Employer (AVSE). He is highly regarded as an Air Force Association Frank Luke Chapter Community Partner. He eagerly partnered with the Historic Avondale Merchants Association(HAMA) to Recognize and celebrate all veterans at Vetfest. He also fully supported and personally recruited numerous participants in the Avondale Veterans day celebration fitness fun run. Under his tutelage, Avondale recently became a designated navigation point for Veteran Support Services, as part of the network of Arizona Coalition for Military Families. He genuinely understands the responsibility we have to those who have, and currently do, serve and protect us.

Editor: As a retired veteran I strongly endorse The Honorable Kenn Weise

(From Page 6)

What can I do? Editor: Many of us are heartbroken over the deaths of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling and the Dallas police officer shooting. We’ve seen too many videos and heard too many stories of Americans being killed during and after interactions with the police. These and other incidents have opened old racial wounds and inspired the #blacklivesmatter movement. Whether you agree with the movement or not, we are being challenged to rethink how we address race, violence, and injustice in our country. Many of us are struggling to answer the same question, “What should I do?” As individuals we feel despondent and powerless. The truth is, we’re not. Please hear me. There is no middle ground. Either you are a part of the solution or you are part of the problem. Our collective silence and indifference to one another’s pain is part of the problem. Our collective refusal to listen to and show one another compassion and respect is part of the problem. Our collective propensity towards using anger and violence to solve conflict is part of the problem. Our tendency towards inhumanity, where we compete for social, political and economic resources, is part of the problem. Too often we sit back, hypocritically, and watch the atrocities around us while pointing our “finger of blame” instead of stepping forward to create real change. When we do nothing ourselves yet criticize others who demonstrate, who wear “Black Lives Matter” across their chest, and who advocate for change, we are part of the problem. We must move beyond our feelings of helplessness and scapegoating by taking personal responsibility for society’s problems. We can start by answering the question, “What

Pearlette J. Ramos Avondale

Kenn Weise has my support Editor: I am the owner of AZFirearms on Western Avenue in Historic Avondale. My business has called Avondale home for a decade and I have witnessed the City go through many changes. As a business owner I am extremely encouraged by the path Avondale is on under Mayor Kenn Weise’s leadership. Avondale has a new sense of pride and community thanks to the efforts of Mayor Weise. He dedicates so much of his time being out in the community and getting to know the needs of the citizens. It is very important to the citizens and business owners to know that we have a Mayor who not only says he cares but shows it with his actions. This Avondale business owner is proud to have Kenn Weise as the Mayor of our city, and he has my full support for another term.

contribution violations. It allows one elected official to make campaign contributions by letting them pass along money to their colleagues. Despite polls that show a strong majority of AZ voters opposed “dark money”. Instead of the legislators who are supposed to be representing the will of the people, have bowed down to the PACs, super PACs, and other groups that influence elections with LOTS of money and you and I never see who they are. The bill was signed by Governor Ducey who received $3.5 million in dark money that helped him get elected. An all volunteer campaign to call for a voter referendum on SB 1516 failed because they could not get the required signatures on the petition. It is suspected that this effort failed, at least in part, because dark money actively worked against it. Does “dark money” upset you? If so, when you get a call or visit from your elected representatives, who are supposed to represent your opinions and beliefs, ask them how they voted for SB 1516. If your representatives are Republican, you will find they voted in favor of SB 1516. Then try to get them to explain WHY they voted for it.

NOT A PROBLEM!!

Plants on Central Editor: I have been wondering who is in charge of Planting the new plants? Obviously these people don’t know anything about plants. They just dig a hole drop it in and pack dirt around it. It’s SUMMER just the worse time to plant in the ground without some thought to preparing the soil. So far they have planted 2 and 3 times with different plants. But Hey it isn’t their money it’s ours. And the choice of bushes is going to be something to see once they fill in and block the view of drivers trying to turn onto Central. Guess they didn’t hire a landscape professional with street beautification credentials. Lynda Fiorini Avondale

No Credit? Bad Credit?

Chuck Wolf College Station, Texas

Cheryl Todd Litchfield Park

Editor: There is a LOT of news, editorials, commentary, and letters to the editor discussing national and in some cases local elections. However, I haven’t seen much about the positions taken and votes made by current state senators and representatives. I would like to hear the state elected officials explain how and WHY they voted for Senate Bill 1516. What is that? It is the “ dark money” protection bill. It is a bill passed by both the senate and house, then signed by the governor that eliminates all penalties for campaign

to the Council to plan ahead, and Mayor Weise has brought fiscal smarts and an unwavering dedication to promoting how great a place Avondale is to live, work and play. I wholeheartedly endorse his campaign and am excited to see how great your future will continue to be!

Editor: My family had the benefit of living in Avondale during a great period of change and growth in the 2000’s, and to serve the residents of your great City on the City Council. During that time, it was my distinct pleasure to serve with the three mayors that have led the City for the first 15+ years of this millennium — Ron Drake, Marie Lopez Rogers, and Kenn Weise. Each has brought unique gifts to the City at the time it needed them the most — Mayor Drake brought change that led to the incredibly professional staff you have serving today; Mayor Rogers brought cohesiveness

Editor: I am a 70-year-old white male that is very disturbed with certain issues. I grew up in the 50’s and 60’s when race tension was at its heights. I spent a lot of time with a family in Bastrop La. where tension was highest. The father, had a giant hatred for the black people per his normal attitude and conversation but surprised everyone in the town when a gas truck started on fire. He rushed to the trucks door, grabbed the handle that was so hot he burned off 2 and 1/2 of his fingers as he pulled the driver, a black man out. I say this to say when it comes down to it-the color meant nothing. God’s love has no colors or discrimination.

I see more unrest now between the races and nationalities then in the 1960’s. It must be a real disappointment to God the father through Jesus taught love and peace for everyone. So the question is in over 2000 years why have we white, black, brown or whatever not learned the GOLDEN RULE. Now, the media and political parties has put tension between us (all Americans) every chance they have. Causing riots and killings blaming everyone. We need to get the facts before we say or do anything. Then get involved peacefully armed with knowledge and love. America needs to come together as one nation, one people and with one goal. To live together in peace and harmony together as one people. David W. Disbrow Buckeye

Career politicians Editor: In Arizona we have terms limits for our elected state representatives and state senators, established by the voters. Term limits exist to improve American democracy by addressing the problem of careerism. The longer careerist legislators stay in, the less attention they pay to the needs and wishes of their constituents and more to their own agenda. We have two legislators in the West Valley that are term limited out of their respective positions, State Representative Steve Montenegro and State Senator Don Shooter. Now, in their wisdom they have decided to swap places and run for each others position, potentially creating the pathway for another 8 years in office. Perfectly legal in Arizona, but very deceitful to the taxpayer and constituents. So if they each are reelected, we could face 8 more years before they are term limited out again, but by then they are well on their way to becoming career politicians. Seems to me that their current term of 8 years is enough without potentially (See Letters on Page 8)

This bill eliminates criminal punishments for making illegal campaign contributions. This bill allows our â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ableâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; leaders to launder their friends contributions by permitting legislators to pass this money along to their legislative cohorts.

The art of civil discourse Editor: Just returned to pick up the West Valley Views editorial comments defending their conservative advertisement to liberal attempt to control the paper print content. The publics outrage and rebellion to party controlled politicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is being demonstrated here by those cancelling their subscription over a conservative advertisement. The art of civil discourse is at the basis of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lacking in both our local and national political process. Sharing and

debating ideas is at the very basis of our democratic process. A fully vetted and debated solution is still flawed, but a far better result than an idea that is force on the nation without debate. A person of the opposite party is not your enemy. They are another loyal American with a different point of view and you should be prepared to list and gain from their point of view. No one says you have to agree, but a civil dialogue is the bedrock of our democracy. God Bless America !!! Virgil Warden Goodyear

thought Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d throw in my two cents for her opponent Steve Montenegro. Steve has quietly been a supporter of the issues I care about, like helping illegal immigrants. I also read that he gave a pardon to a former drug dealer. While this may seem wrong, forgiving people for their mistakes can be a good thing. We do not have enough people at our state capitol who stand up for the rights of immigrants who came here illegally to stay in this country. Mr. Montenegro needs to win this senate seat so that his policies can continue in the Senate. He has my vote!

But since we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the crime statistics without ever so laborious research, I would offer a guess, things arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t getting better. 11 years ago Goodyear was blessed with a true leader, Jim Kavanaugh. I felt safe. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say that today. More and more we hear of murder, breaking and entering, thefts, shootings, and domestic violence, just to mention a few. Our Lord isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t saving us..... sorry, wrong Lord. Get off your politically correct horse and go back to publishing real news by resuming public information reports like the police blotter. Sig Mueller Goodyear

Crime in W.V. a decade later Editor: 11 years ago when we moved to Goodyear the WVV published police blotters from cities around the West Valley. I counted the alleged perpetrators and compared the numbers with Hispanic surnames to others within the group. This was a very unofficial assessment but I was astounded by the results. 67% of the sample possessed Hispanic surnames. Then, all of a sudden, you stopped printing the blotters. That was just about the time I brought this fact to your attention. Since then, the Obama administration has run roughshod over our existing immigration laws. Obama opened our country by handicapping our border patrol, unleashing his corrupt Justice Department on Sheriff Joe Arpaio, arming the Mexican cartel, releasing thousands of felons back into society, installing inept heads of Homeland Security like Napolitano and Johnson.

2020 election begins

Time to stand with the NRA

Editor: If you are fed up, bored, tired of the 2016 election I have some good news and some bad news. The good news, if you are a political junkie, is that the 2020 election campaign has started. The bad news is that Ted Cruz gave the first speech of the 2020 election cycle. Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we learn something from the British? They replaced the Prime Minister in weeks without a circus.

Editor: The writer of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Time to stand up to the NRAâ&#x20AC;? WVV July 20th is recycling the same indisputably disingenuous nonsense he wrote in June 26, 2015. The definition of ignorance is, a lack of viable knowledge, and the writer from Goodyear meets that criteria on all counts. The NRA, which is Americas oldest civil rights organization, has advocated for years limiting access to firearms to â&#x20AC;&#x153;unstable and dangerous peopleâ&#x20AC;? but has always been thwarted by the ACLU and their ilk. Incidentally, the U.S. Supreme Court has recently confirmed that the police have â&#x20AC;&#x153;no specific dutyâ&#x20AC;? to protect individuals from threats. So the assumption is clear: At all levels, Americans (including

hoplophobes) are responsible for their own security. On behalf of the 12 million law abiding owners of ar-15 modern sporting rifles I ask the writer from Goodyear, why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you want me to have one? If the irs and the Department of Veterans Affairs need $20 million worth of firearms; and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service needs shotguns, propane cannons and drones, the Social Security Administration has purchased millions of dollars worth of ammunition, what is it about the MSR that causes such rancor? It is, in fact ignorance plus media indoctrination. A diminutive person would stand no chance against a 230pound criminal unless a way could be found to overcome the natural disparities in strength. The ar-15 provides that way. According to FBI crime statistics, more people were murdered in 2014 by â&#x20AC;&#x153;knives or cutting instruments,â&#x20AC;? 1, 567, than with rifles which were chosen by murderers only 2 percent of the time.

rolling several years ago on Skyline Regional Park. Hess is a powerhouse! She said she’s spent the last four years educating herself on Buckeye and she wasn’t lying. This candidate is a force to be reckoned with and we can say with complete confidence that the city would suffer without her on its council. When Berry suggested taxing trash bills to help offset high water bills (another top issue for the city), Hess explained that the water department is an enterprise fund meaning it pays for itself, and that to jack up everyone’s garbage bills would force some residents to pay for other residents’ water bills. She also explained that everyone who has complained to the city about high water bills was found to have water leaks. When the topic of vacant buildings came up, Hess explained that the city can’t make absentee owners do things they don’t want to do, but that through catalyst grants, many businesses have been able to make improvements. Hess’ answer to whether or not Buckeye should stick with a four-day work week was that the city has to strike a balance between retaining good talent and serving the residents, explaining that a lot of the city’s best staffers chose Buckeye because of the four-day work week. McAchran is highly vocal in his opposition to the four-day work week, stating that Buckeye should even be open on Saturdays. Guy and Meck said they believe the Monday-Thursday schedule works, with Guy assuring residents that staff is flexible enough that services such as inspections can take place on Fridays. Meck said if staff and residents want the city to go back to a five-day work week, he would be open to it, but he has yet to hear them ask for it. Other than the city’s hours of operation, the biggest difference between Meck and McAchran is whether or not Buckeye is “Open for Business,” a slogan created by Meck. McAchran spoke at length about too much bureaucratic red tape and high fees while Meck cited the purchase of Global Water, which led to Cardinal IG’s selecting Buckeye for its glass manufacturing company, promising 100 new jobs to start. Meck also cited his relentless pursuit of new business, something we think we’ll start seeing more of now that the city’s water system doesn’t leap frog over a private utility. That said, we think McAchran would make a fine mayor, but we like what we’ve seen from Meck and we’d like to see more. We like his enthusiasm, we like his experience and institutional knowledge, and we love that he offered to forego his salary when the recession hit. Campanella has been to every council meeting, which is impressive, and seems to have studied up on Buckeye, especially its budget. We believe he could be an asset to the city, but we’d like to see him serve as a councilman before jumping into the mayor’s seat. One thing that bothered us was that he mentioned more than once the mayor’s salary, which just reminded us that Meck is in it strictly for the good of Buckeye, period. We think Baillie could one day be an asset to the council. She, too, has taken the time to educate herself, even going so far as to call the city’s finance director to discuss the budget, but she’s only been to two or three council meetings and has yet to serve on any of the city’s boards or commissions. We like to see council candidates pay their dues first. In the interest of full disclosure, and because we promised last week that we’d tell you all who followed our candidate questionnaire rules and who did not, Hess’ questionnaire contained one answer that went over the limit by 10 words. However, she turned hers in well in advance of the deadline and was able to rework her answer. We can’t say enough good things about this candidate. We see a future mayor in Hess.

Core, madam. It wasn’t some “sinister” scheme dreamed up in Washington, and imposed by the Federal government. Instead, it was produced by the National Governors Association, and the Council of Chief State School Officers! Among those who developed the standards is a professor from the University of Arizona! Finally, the decision to adopt or reject Common Core is made entirely by each State! Must I add that it doesn’t have anything to do with teaching Islam, or any other faith? Oh, and what about all the non-Christian “antiquities” being destroyed by groups like the Taliban, ISIS, and Al Qaeda? Such as the Buddhist shrines demolished in Afghanistan, and the Pagan temples destroyed in Palmyra, including the Temple to Baal? Don’t they count? Second, the “Factless Wonder” (Roy Azzarello), who confuses what he merely believes with fact. No, sir, Hillary didn’t break the criminal law. As FBI Director Comey said, the law doesn’t “support bringing criminal charges” against her. Which is why you’re the one busy dismantling the Constitution and Bill of Rights — particularly the Due Process Clause! Third, “Paranoid Karl” Nelson (July 13th), who twists truth and logic into pretzels! Where does the Second Amendment say there’s a “guarantee to be able to defend yourself”? The only purpose it mentions concerns a “well regulated militia” being “necessary to the security of a free State”! We can debate what that means, but that’s what it says. The stuff you and the N.R.A. talk about came from Justice Scalia’s opinion in D.C. v. Heller. But according to you, a Supreme Court decision isn’t the law of the land! Three blind mice who’d lead us into a ditch! P.S. — More on-line. Gordon P.R. Posner Tolleson

Editor: I don’t like Ted Cruz. But I have to admit I respect him ever since he gave that “I’m not going to be a servile puppy dog” speech during which he announced his refusal to endorse Donald Trump. For once, a mainstream politician has shown genuine spine by resisting pressure from his party cohorts and peers to “go with the flow” and, instead, induce them to question the appropriateness of their own mindless behavior — that of supporting someone who very probably will become this nation’s biggest liability. The respect for Cruz should not just be bestowed upon him as a politician, but as a man. If anyone publically insulted my wife and father the way Trump insulted Cruz’s father and his wife, Heidi, they’d wind up with a broken nose! Defiance often outweighs conformity insofar as reflecting strong character. I expected Bernie Sanders to take a similar stance as that of Cruz in resisting pressure from his party leaders in supporting their “presumptive candidate,” who is nothing but another dangerous neocon. I hope that many of Sanders’ former supporters, as myself, will come to terms with this disappointment by casting their vote for Jill Stein or Gary Johnson, the Green Party and Libertarian Party candidates, respectively. The two-party system has far too often conned us into making a binary decision each Election Day, only to ultimately lead us to more division, dysfunction, instability, and pervasive inequality. These political party conventions now taking place, with all the hubris and pageantry, seem more like big college campus beer parties. Just wait, though, until the four year hangover finally hits us! On the other hand, it is very likely that we may be in store for another embarrassing and expensive impeachment process after this election. Alexander Hall Goodyear

I am coming around Editor: The GOP put on a very smart Convention, classy with some Ted Cruz drama. Very next day there is Donald

Trump, rehashing the Ted Cruz feud . I thought he had lost his mind, then I watched him. Trump is leaning in telling his followers just what happen with Cruz. Its Inside Baseball. This is what Trump has always done , leaning in to tell his people just what is going on. Letting them in on it , like they all have a right to know. Which endears people to him. Trump had 5 businesses that failed. Those were good businesses that just didn’t make it, happens everyday. Most Millionaire make and loss millions all the time, this is American. If voters don’t like the Bankruptcy laws then Congress should change them. The Congress doesn’t do anything else. If Trump had been part of Congress he wouldn’t of just shown up. There would have been changes. The GOP is no more, The Democrats are now the Socialist party which will destroy what is left of the country. Bother parties let is down badly. Secretary of State Clinton and the Justice department are rotten to the Core. President Obama and his Motley Crew , stink from the Head Down. 8 years we have done nothing but loss ground. Trump is our last hope , even if he does have a Circus Tent set-up on the White House front lawn. We could use the entertainment. Vickie Chelini Buckeye

Business Briefcase by Shane McOwen staff writer

Welcome to the Business Briefcase column, readers! Just a friendly reminder that the West Valley View is hosting a blood drive from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Aug. 3 in our parking lot at 1050 E. Riley Drive. It’s in a bloodmobile, so don’t worry about baking on the parking lot pavement. I’m not a scientist, or a vampire, but I believe blood needs to be kept relatively cool, so it should feel pretty nice in there. Unless you’re not a fan of needles. Then it’s the anywhereShane McOwen but-there mentality. Please come check it out! I’m not just saying that because I wrote the accompanying story either. I mean, I did do that. It’s on Page 1. Check that out, too. There won’t be any time for tours of Briefcase Headquarters! Please accept a rain check. I haven’t figured out where to put my golden tickets for tours yet. I don’t have fancy chocolate bars to place them in, à la Willy Wonka. Here are this week’s business items. We’ll start with a quick list of “coming soon” attractions in Avondale and Goodyear south of Interstate 10. Laura’s Burgers & More is going in at 60 E. Western Ave. in Historic Avondale. The stand-alone building used to house an old fish and chips place, 15 years ago or so. Your Briefcase host may have had a meal or two there back in the day. Angel’s Diner is opening soon at 13530 W. Van Buren St., Suite A-104, on the northwest corner of Central Avenue and Van Buren Street in Goodyear. Signage says the soon-to-be diner will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner once it’s open. There’s also an unnamed boba and sandwich shop set to open at 319 N. Litchfield Road. That’s in the complex on the northeast corner of Litchfield Road and Van

Litchfield woman earns operator of year honor Gina Kaiser of Litchfield Park has been honored as the 2015 Baskin-Robbins Operator of the Year at the 10th annual Dunkin’ Brands Franchisee and Enterprise Awards Ceremony held in Boston. Kaiser has five different shops and was honored for her attention to detail and high achievement in her businesses.

Buckeye Fleet Management ranks 7th in nation Buckeye’s Public Works Department Fleet Management Division has been named the top small fleet group of technicians in the nation and ranked seventh overall in the nation in the Leading Fleet Competition, a competition run by Government Fleet magazine and the American Public Works Association. The Fleet Management Division cares for Buckeye’s 410 vehicles and earned top distinction among divisions with 499 or fewer vehicles. Criteria for the award includes how the operation prioritizes and exhibits leadership within its team, customers and community; how an operation ensures efficiency; the future vision of the operation and leadership steps taken to get there; and how an operation addresses and overcomes its biggest challenges.

Buren Street. If that’s your business, give the Briefcase Headquarters a call! A Burger King is set to go in on the northwest corner of 99th Avenue and Van Buren Street in Avondale. The city is currently reviewing the site plan and design for a 3,237-square-foot building. Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep in Avondale, 10055 Papago Freeway, is in the beginning stages of adding 8,000 square feet to its site. If you see a lot of dust around that area in the near future, it’s just going through an upgrade. The dealership will remain open once that gets under way. Some big news in Tolleson: SK Food Group announced it’s expanding its operations to Arizona, and has selected a site along 75th Avenue. The Seattle-based food manufacturing company is planning on building a 212,000-square-foot facility that will eventually be filled with 550 new jobs. It’ll be filled with people, actually. People will hold the jobs, and fill the building. Sorry for the confusion. SK Food Group chose Tolleson because of the

Thanks for tuning in. As always, send questions, comments and tips to smcowen@westvalleyview.com. I’ll try to get back to everything sent my way. Good luck to all the children beginning school on Monday. Don’t worry, students. Eventually, it’ll all be over and you won’t have a summer vacation at all! Take care, everyone.

Meet the Tolleson candidates 2 running for mayor; 7 running for 3 City Council seats by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

Tolleson has seven candidates vying for three open City Council seats and two candidates running for mayor in the Aug. 30 primary election. Incumbents Lupe Leyva Bandin, Kathie Farr and Albert Mendoza and newcomers John Carnero, Donnie Gerhart, Herb Graham and Ralph Grijalva are all running for council seats. Current Mayor Adolfo Gámez faces off against former City Councilwoman Anna Tovar. The deadline to register to vote in the election is Aug. 1, and early voting starts Aug. 3. Registration forms are available at recorder.maricopa.gov/elections. The candidates will also take part in a community forum at 6 p.m. Aug. 2 at the Arts Academy at Estrella Mountain, 2504 S. 91st Ave., Phoenix. The following are their unedited answers to a questionnaire sent by the West Valley View:

Mayor: Adolfo Gamez — incumbent Age: 60 Last level of school completed: Graduated from Northern Arizona University in 1978. Degrees, certifications held: Bachelor of Science degree in history with a minor in psychology. Occupation: Retired from Estrella Mountain Community College as the Director of Corporate Relations Years you have lived in the city: 60 Boards and commissions you’ve served on: Governor’s Alliance Against Substance Abuse; Tolleson Lions Club; West Valley Fine Arts Council; Southwest Adolfo Gamez Chamber of Commence; Friendly House Advisory Board; Estrella Mountain Community College President’s Advisory Board; Hispanic Leadership Forum; West Valley Foundation Board; Tolleson Service Committee; Bicycle Christmas Committee; Maricopa Association of Governments Regional Council; Community Development Block Grant Advisory Committee; and Young Life Ministries Committee. How many city council meetings have you attended in the last year? Out of a total of 36 meetings from July 1, 2015 to July 1, 2016, I attended 31 meetings. 20 were regular city council meetings, 12 were work studies, two were special city council meetings, and two were executive sessions/special city council meetings. Why are you seeking re-election to the council? To continue the successful and progressive agenda in economic development, job growth, business retention and to focus on the renovating of our existing housing stock, and new homes. Because of our smart economic development strategy, Tolleson was the only city to not lay off any employees during the 2008 Great Recession. Do you support term limits? Why or why not? No. Term limits do not allow the time to establish the long-term relationships with business, industry, schools, and government that cities need in order to establish the trust, rapport, consistency, and the confidence that these entities require in order to invest, work, and be advocates for the cities. What is the top issue the city faces, and what action will you take on that issue if you are elected? Economic development and retention. To continue to aggressively recruit businesses to locate in our community. What do you offer as a candidate that your opponents do not? 35 years of experience, 22 years as the Mayor. The community knows me and knows what I can bring to the table. I am dedicated to the community. My experience is what helped me fight the South Mountain Freeway alignment proposal from running through Tolleson and destroying portions of our city including industries along 99th Ave., Tolleson City Hall, and Tolleson Union High School. This would have affected the city’s economic development and assessed valuation. The council is elected to represent its constituency, yet at some point their wishes and beliefs will likely be contradictory to your personal beliefs. How will you arrive at your vote? My vote is always based on how it will impact the majority of the community, regardless of the issue. What specific practices will you implement to keep in contact with your constituents? I will keep the same practices I’ve always had. I grew up here and people know me and are comfortable with me. I have always been accessible to anyone in the community. They can call me or come to my house to speak to me. They can also email or call city hall to make an appointment to see me. I also use our city newsletter, Tolleson website and Facebook to keep in contact with our citizens. Does your job place any restrictions on your ability to serve? No. It never did when I had a full-time job, and doesn’t now that I’m retired. What one question are you glad we didn’t ask? Are there any skeletons in your closet? There isn’t one, I’m open to any question. No.

Anna Tovar Age: 42 Last level of school completed: University — worked on Master’s Degree Degrees, certifications held: Bachelor of Arts Degree in Elementary Education and Arizona Real Estate License Occupation: Realtor Years you have lived in the city: I’ve proudly been a resident my entire life (42 years). Boards and commissions you’ve served on: Jobs for Arizona Graduates (JAG); Tolleson Service Committee; Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce; Friendly House; The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society; National Hispanic Anna Tovar Caucus of State Legislature; Arizona Latino Caucus chair; WESTMARC Legislative West Valley Caucus co-chair; and Parent Teacher Association — P.H. Gonzales Elementary School secretary. How many city council meetings have you attended in the last year? One Why are you seeking election to the council? I’m running for Mayor because its been 22 years since the citizens of Tolleson have been given a choice about who will lead their city and I saw the need to step up and be that choice. As a lifelong resident of Tolleson, a former educator, a proud mother and a proven leader, I will bring new ideas and a new passion that will make Tolleson work for all of our families and citizens. I’m dedicated to bringing new jobs and better opportunities to our city to make it a stronger and safer community. As a former Tolleson Councilmember, Vice Mayor, and State Senator and Minority Leader of the Arizona Senate, I have the experience to know what works and what doesn’t and the issues demanding immediate attention such as schools, infrastructure needs, affordable healthcare/housing, and building a strong economy. I’m committed to using our resources in a more responsible manner, so when you ask any member of the community “Is Tolleson working for you?,” the response will be YES, instead of what it is now. I’ve lived in Tolleson all my life, grew up at my family grocery store named “John’s Market,” raised my family and taught in Tolleson. Do you support term limits? Why or why not? I am open to exploring the idea of term limits for the City Council and the Mayor’s office. The world has changed significantly since the 1990’s — we have new technologies, new businesses and new opportunities for our children. What hasn’t changed since the 90’s? The leadership in Tolleson. Term limits on the Mayor’s office would have provided the opportunity for new ideas and new leadership for our city. We need to find a balance that ensures we don’t get stuck in the same leadership rut, but we don’t want to lose our experienced councilmembers that have worked to bring positive change to our community. What is the top issue the city faces, and what action will you take on that issue if you are elected? Safety/ Improve our neighborhoods Transparency Job Opportunities/ Economic Development What do you offer as a candidate that your opponents do not? I offer a choice, new leadership, new energy, new dedication and new experience for Tolleson. I’ve served our community at the city level and represented our values at the Arizona Capitol. I was elected Vice Mayor by my collegues in Tolleson and elected Minority Leader by my colleagues in the Arizona Senate. I’ve spent years working for our community, first as a teacher and next at a non-profit advocating for cancer patients and those in need. I’m now helping families by finding housing by being a Realtor focused in the West Valley. I’ve been a resident of Tolleson my whole life and I know the issues facing our community. I have an open door policy where I will continue to listen and repsond to all Tolleson residents, business owners and city employees. Its time for new leadership and my combination of experience inside and outside of Tolleson makes me the most qualified to make our community stronger. The council is elected to represent its constituency, yet at some point their wishes and beliefs will likely be contradictory to your personal beliefs. How will you arrive at your vote? I have spent years of my life representing the people of Tolleson at the City Council and the Arizona Capitol. I know how it feels to make the tough decisions that not everyone agrees with. I always have, and I always will, vote my conscience and vote what is right for Tolleson. I will not let outside influences, special interests, lobbyists or shady backroom deals get in between my vote and my duty to my constituents. I will not misplace the trust of the community and I will proudly stand by each of my votes. What specific practices will you implement to keep

in contact with your constituents? It’s my goal to increase community involvement at Tolleson City Hall. We can’t increase community participation if members of the community believe their voice isn’t heard. My plan to change this is to create a more open and transparent city hall, and to be proactive in meeting with community groups to learn about their issues and to discuss solutions to their challenges. You cannot lead by sitting behind a desk in an office — the best way to lead is to get outside and talk with your neighbors, local businesses, neighborhood groups, school leaders and associations that work and live in Tolleson. I want to empower our consituents and give them many resources to be engaged and invloved in making our community better. I also want our community to know what I am doing as Mayor — I will explore ways to offer frequent updates, either through email or mail, so everyone knows how Tolleson is working for them. Finally, I will implement a system that allows citizens to submit suggestions while re-focusing staff to make sure each question is answered and each suggestion is noted. Your voice will be heard if I am elected Mayor. Does your job place any restrictions on your ability to serve? Being a Realtor allows me the flexiblity to set my own hours and I would not have any restrictions on serving. I work with the Arizona Home Sweet Team. We are a wonderful group of three ladies who specialize in West Valley real estate. I’ve always served with dedication and passion and take serving very seriously. I have the full support of my real esate team and my family. What one question are you glad we didn’t ask? Are there any skeletons in your closet? How to make Pete’s Fish and Chips secret hot sauce? I’ve been honored and trusted to represent our community on the City Council and at the Arizona Capitol, and through this experience I’ve gotten to know many of you in Tolleson. You’ve helped me battle and conquer cancer and that meant the world to me. I’ve always stood up for what I believe in and have fought to make a difference for the families in our community and around our state. This election is about a new leadership direction, a choice for Tolleson, and I would be honored to earn your vote again. Transparency is important to me, I will not hide anything from the community. No skeletons in my closet just clothes and shoes. The best advice that I received from my Uncle Henry is to always tell the truth and do good things because its the right thing to do and not because you expect anything in return. If you have any questions please call/text or email me direclty: 602-208-3338 or AnnaTovarforMayor@ gmail.com.

Seven Meetings Why are you seeking election to the council? I believe the Council is able to focus and place more resources to improve Tolleson neighborhoods.

TEHRAN THOMAS of Desert Edge looks to make a cut against a Paradise Valley defender in the Division II state championship game Nov. 28, 2015 at Arizona Stadium in Tucson. Thomas, who led the Scorpions to the title, has signed on to play football at the University of California at Davis.

Tehran Thomas commits to UC Davis Desert Edge quarterback to play running back at D-II school by Casey Pritchard sports editor

Tehran Thomas has done some magnificent things for Desert Edge over the past two seasons — one look at the highlight reel from last year’s Division III state championship game is all you need to see. Now, he’ll get an opportunity to display those same football talents at the collegiate level.

Thomas verbally committed to the University of California at Davis this month, and will start his career in fall 2017. “I feel really comfortable with the decision,” Thomas said. “I’m really excited to go up there, hopefully make a huge impact on their school. I really like what they have to offer on the education side, and the football side of it. I just love the school overall.” There were a handful of other schools interested in Thomas, including Army and Air Force, as well as Division II schools Adams State and University of Mary. Ultimately, UC Davis made the most sense to Thomas. “Just talking with my family, praying, and also being

able to talk with the coaches and meet the coaches in person, and see the school myself a little bit,” Thomas said in regards to how he came to his decision. “I liked the environment. I liked the surroundings and was very comfortable with everything. It just felt right.” Making the decision before the start of the high school football season was also important, Thomas said. “It was right for me to do it now instead of holding off and waiting, test my chances down the road, when I could just solidify my spot now,” Thomas said. “It takes a (See Thomas on Page 17)

Lady Tigers ready to roar in 6A by Shane McOwen sports writer

JESSICA VASTINE of Millennium returns a ball against Notre Dame Prep in the D-II state championship game Nov. 10, 2015. The Lady Tigers have big goals in 2016, as the team returns every player from last season’s squad.

Millennium volleyball’s fantastic 2015 season ended on a sour note, as the Lady Tigers dropped the Division II state championship game to Scottsdale Notre Dame in straight sets, 3-0. The Lady Tigers are now in the highest conference, 6A, but are poised to make another run with the entire team returning to the fray. “All the girls will be back this year,” Millennium coach Julie Vastine said. “Making teams and doing cuts will be really rough. We had nobody leave the program. We didn’t have a senior night last year.” Millennium went 38-7 last season, dominating competition with six juniors,

two sophomores and five freshmen — usually not a recipe for success — en route to a deep playoff run. With a new Arizona Interscholastic Association alignment, the Lady Tigers will be playing at the highest level in 2016, something that Vastine helped prepare them for last season. “We’re in 6A this year, so that’s going to be a whole new animal in itself,” she said. “It’s going to be different initially. I purposely put us in tough tournaments last year. We’ve played 6A schools [before], so we can compete with them. I didn’t avoid that because I think the only way to get better is to play the best.” The Lady Tigers will start the season in (See Roar on Page 19

DEVON ALLEN, left, of Litchfield Park competes in the 110-meter hurdles at the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials in July at the University of Oregon. Allen won his heat with a time of 13.03 seconds, qualifying him for the U.S. Olympic team competing in Rio de Janeiro in August.

Former L.P. resident heading to Olympics Devon Allen wins 110-meter hurdles at U.S. Olympic Trials by Casey Pritchard sports editor

Litchfield Park resident Louis Allen has a lot to be proud of in his son Devon Allen. Devon recently won the 110-meter hurdles at the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials, running it in 13.03 seconds. The victory qualified him for the U.S. Olympic Team, where he’ll compete in Rio de Janeiro next month.

“It was great,” Louis said. “To see him run the way he ran. He told me he was going to win, he was confident he was going to win, so there was no reason for me to doubt it. He was very relaxed; more relaxed than I think I’ve ever seen him.” Devon had good reason to be relaxed: he hasn’t lost a 110-meter hurdles race this year. In addition to winning this year’s NCAA Division I national championship, he was the 2014 collegiate national champion. “Even in the prelims, he has not lost one,” Louis said. “He only lost one 60-meter race, and it was the first race of the indoor season. So the fact that he’s almost undefeated in the 60 indoors and he is undefeated in the

outdoors, is truly special.” It’s especially remarkable in a race such as hurdles, where one slip up can cost an athlete the whole race. “You crash into it too much, you go into it early, you go into it late, you hook a heel or hit your trail leg on the hurdle, you’re done,” Louis said. “It’s real easy for it to happen.” Last year, Devon didn’t compete in track and field while recovering from a knee injury sustained during the final football game of the season. “It happened during the opening kickoff of the Rose Bowl against Florida State,” Louis said. “He got the ball, made a move, saw the open lane on the outside, beat the guy he needed to beat, but when he planted his leg to make the cut, he blew out his ACL.” Obviously, the injury has not affected Devon’s return to track and field. His football playing time was limited last season, but he still has two years of eligibility left in both football and track. “I’m excited about what the coming year is going to bring,” Louis said. In the meantime, Louis is excited about the Olympics and going to Rio to see Devon compete. He set up a GoFundMe account and raised more than $15,000 so he and his wife can attend.

TEHRAN THOMAS of Desert Edge races between two Paradise Valley defenders in the Division II state championship game Nov. 28, 2015 at Arizona Stadium in Tucson. Thomas has committed to play football at the University of California at Davis for the 2017 season.

Thomas (From Page 15) little bit off the plate, allows me to play my senior season having fun with the game like I always do, and not have to worry about trying to get a scholarship or chase an offer.” Desert Edge coach Rich Wellbrock said he couldn’t be happier for Thomas. “As soon as he had taken that unofficial visit, I could tell he really found a connection with the whole package, and so often you have a kid who just gets connected with a piece of the school,” Wellbrock said. “He felt very connected with the whole package of UC Davis, and I’m excited for him and his family. He’s a kid that’s worked really hard at his craft, and now he reaps the rewards of that.” Thomas rushed for 1,652 yards last year, despite missing three games because of an ankle injury. He averaged 9.5 yards per carry and scored 28 touchdowns. In addition to his impact running the ball, Thomas completed 64 of 100 passes for 1,149 yards and 17 touchdowns. He threw only four interceptions.

“At times, he can take over a football game,” Wellbrock said. “His ability to make guys around him better, and his work ethic; he works his tail off, does extra things — not just when we’re working, but spends some extra time that separates him from other individuals.” Thomas really took over in the state championship game, rushing 38 times for 220 yards and two touchdowns, helping the Scorpions come from behind for a 29-27 win over Phoenix Paradise Valley. Thomas said UC Davis would like to use him as a running back. “They said when I have the chance to start, they were going to get the ball in my hands, and that sounded good to me,” he said. Thomas believes he can make an impact as a freshman, he said. “I’m going to go up there and continue to work really hard, do the things that got me there and continue to learn,” Thomas said. “I think I can go up there and make a huge impact.” Wellbrock doesn’t know exactly how Thomas’ game will translate at the next level, but “football is football,” he said. “He’s a young man weighing in at 215 pounds and runs a 4.6[-second] 40[-yard dash],” Wellbrock said. “He’s going to find the right niche for the Aggies at

Impactful Scorpion In addition to Thomas’ stellar junior campaign, he was also really good in 2014. He rushed for 1,598 and passed for 1,363 as a sophomore. Despite consecutive seasons with more than 1,000 rushing and 1,000 passing yards, Thomas believes he’s an even better dual-threat quarterback now. “This summer, I’ve worked a lot on my passing,” Thomas said. “I want to be able to show I’m an actual dual threat at quarterback. I feel like my running has progressed every year and I’ve gotten better there as well.” Thomas plans to major in medicine at UC Davis, but he’s also interested in its horticulture program and wants to study business, too. In the meantime, Thomas is focused on getting the Scorpions another state championship. Desert Edge will kick off the season against Peoria Centennial Aug. 20 at Coconino High School in Flagstaff. “We all have confidence in each other,” Thomas said. “We’ve all gotten closer as the offseason has gone on, and we’re ready to put it all together and show what we got.”

ASHLEY ANTONIAK, right, of Millennium delivers a hit in the Division II state championship game against Notre Dame Prep Nov. 10, 2015. The Lady Tigers return everyone from the 2015 state runner-up team.

Roar (From Page 15) much of the same way they did last year. “We do start off our season pretty tough,” Vastine said. “We have all 6A East Valley teams right off the bat, then we go to the region.” Millennium’s region foes are Glendale Copper Canyon, Surprise Valley Vista, La Joya, Tolleson and Westview.

Summer program Millennium spent a lot of time in the gym during the summer in preparation for the upcoming year, Vastine said. “The summer went really well,” she said. “To start our summer off in June, we did our community camp with the youth kids. That was a ton of fun. The older kids benefit, the younger kids benefit.” The Lady Tigers packed the house during the open-gym workout period. “We had open gyms a couple of days a week, and we had a huge turnout,” Vastine

said. “We would run some days over 50 kids. Next year, I may have to do double sessions.” The Lady Tigers wrapped up the summer July 15-17 at the University of Arizona volleyball camp in Tucson. “It was a really good experience for the girls,” Vastine said. “They always do a really good job running through the team.” The team went through drills and practice with one of the Arizona assistant coaches. In the afternoons, teams scrimmaged one another, rotating in short intervals. “I like to take them so they have a chance to be on a college campus, to see what a Pac-12 facility looks like,” Vastine said. “We’re fortunate enough to get to work with one of the assistants, so they were getting pretty demanding coaching on the court from a college coach. That’s different for the kids. It’s good for them to get that exposure and experience.” Millennium will start the season Aug. 30 at home against Mesa.

Daryl Thomas Jones 4/22/1942 – 7/5/2016 Daryl Jones age 74, passed away peacefully with family by his side on Tuesday July 5th at Hospice of the Valley near his home in Avondale AZ. Daryl was born April 22nd 1942 in Snohomish, WA to Edwin and Mildred Jones. He graduated Snohomish High School and soon after, at the age of 19, enlisted in the US Army where he served honorably from 1961 to 1964. A majority of his time in the service was spent abroad in Germany. He had a very colorful professional career including owning his own business, and most recently, retired from Foss Maritime where he spent 14 years in the local waters of Everett as well as extended trips to Alaska. Daryl enjoyed many passions including range/skeet shooting and making his own ammo, boating, fishing, motorcycle trips across the country, woodworking, watching old westerns and of course spending as much time as he could with family and his best friend-his wife Lorena. He had a contagious laugh and a great sense of humor. He loved to turn peppermills, pens and other mementos out of colorful and rare woods that he could give to family and friends to show his appreciation and love. Daryl was preceded in death by his Father Edwin, his Mother Mildred and his Sister Shirley Beick. He is survived by his loving Wife Lorena, Brother Richard Jones (Lorraine), Sister Mary Lou Rider, his three Sons, Bruce (Kimberly), Brent (Cheryl-Ann), Brandon (Heidi) and Daughters Jennifer (Chuck) and Janelle as well as many Nieces, Nephews, Grandchildren and great Grandchildren. Daryl will be missed greatly by his family and friends. A private celebration will be held at a later date. The family would like to thank the very special attention and connection he received from his doctors in AZ which he trusted and respected greatly, in particular, Dr. Loli, Dr. Baratz and Dr. Shu. We would also like to mention and thank Matt at Hospice of the Valley, keep strumming that guitar my friend. Acts of kindness can be made in Daryl’s memory to any individual or organization that is important to you.
