Narrowing the field Arizona primary election set for Aug. 30 by Glenn Gullickson staff writer

Arizona voters head to the polls next week to select candidates to run for federal, state and county offices and pick local officials in some cities. The Arizona Primary Election is Aug. 30. Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Here’s what you need to know.

Polling places With more than 600 polling places open in Maricopa County this time around, election officials are hoping there won’t be a repeat of the chaos of the Arizona Presidential Preference Election in March, when some voters waited in line for hours to cast ballots. Depending on their registration, primary voters will be given ballots for Democratic or Republican races. Voters who are registered independents can vote in this election, unlike the Presidential Preference Election, and they have the option of selecting either party’s ballot. Also unlike the Presidential Preference Election, which allowed voters to cast ballots at any voting center, in this election, voters must go to the polling places serving their precincts. Voters are required to present identification to receive ballots at the polls.

Early voting by mail started Aug. 3 for those on the Permanent Early Voters List and others who requested early ballots. To ensure that ballots get to where they need to be by Election Day, the Arizona Secretary of State’s Office suggested returning early ballots today, but said they can be mailed as late as Friday. Voters who miss the mailing deadline can drop off ballots at any polling place on Election Day without waiting in line. Early voting can also be done at city clerk’s offices in Avondale and Buckeye through Thursday or at the Litchfield Park city clerk’s office through Friday. Early voting can also be done through Friday

In a question on the August ballot, voters in Avondale and Tolleson will decide whether to allow their cities to continue to spend the revenues that are collected. The authority commonly known as Home Rule — or officially called the alternative local expenditure limitation — requires voter approval every four years. Early voting has started and polling places will be open on Aug. 30 for an election that also will decide city races and primary contests for county, state and federal offices. But Avondale and Tolleson officials say voters shouldn’t overlook the ballot’s Home Rule question.

They say approval of the measure is essential to fund existing city services and avoid cuts in programs, services and improvement projects. Without Home Rule, the Arizona Constitution limits what cities and towns can spend to an amount based on 1978-79 expenditures, with an adjustment based on inflation and population. According to figures released by Avondale, the state-imposed budget limitation for the city’s 2015-16 fiscal year was $49.7 million, plus an estimated $45 million of other income, including federal grants and aid. But that’s tens of millions of dollars short of the $172.8 million budgeted that year for city

As police continue to search for Jesse Wilson, 10, of Buckeye, information is surfacing about previous times police were called to the family home. In April, a neighbor called police to report that Jesse was outside at about 4:30 a.m. and had asked for food. Jesse can be seen on a police body camera video quietly telling officers his name, but he didn’t respond when asked for his parents’ or siblings’ names. An officer asked the boy if he lived in the neighborhood, and according to the officer’s

A Litchfield Park woman died Aug. 15 in a crash on Interstate 10 near Salome during a dust storm that caused zero-visibility driving conditions, officials said. Susan Bartholomew, 76, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the Arizona Department of Public Safety. The dust storm swept over the western part of the state and contributed to five collisions involving 14 vehicles between 2:30 and 4:45 p.m., DPS officials said. At about 2:30 p.m., Bartholomew was driving a Subaru Outback eastbound on I-10 near milepost 44 when her vehicle was crushed between two commercial tractor-

trailer rigs, DPS said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dust storms are dangerous, unpredictable and develop quickly,â&#x20AC;? said Capt. Damon Cecil, a DPS spokesman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you encounter one while driving, leave the highway and wait the storm out by parking in a safe location. If you cannot leave the highway, leave the traffic lanes and park your car as far to the right as possible. Turn off your lights, take your foot off the brake and wait out the storm.â&#x20AC;?

Rapper found dead outside nightclub was Westview High School graduate by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

A rapper who graduated from Westview High School in Avondale was found dead early Sunday morning after he was shot outside a Phoenix nightclub, police said. Deshawn McDonald, 26, also known as D Mac Deluxx, was celebrating his upcoming birthday with friends at a club near Interstate 17 and McDowell Road. Just after midnight, McDonald left the club, and shots were later heard in the parking lot, Phoenix Police Lt. Paul Taylor said. Bar patrons went outside to investigate and found McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body in some bushes near the Deshawn Knightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Inn at 1624 N. Black McDonald Canyon Highway, Taylor said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no suspect information and consequently, very little details about why this occurred,â&#x20AC;? he said. Friends are remembering McDonald for his unbridled ambition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He just wanted to be something in life, just like all the

rest of us,â&#x20AC;? T.J. Redmond said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You just have to be cut from a different cloth to even have that type of ambition these days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was living for his daughter, living for himself, trying to make a name for himself and be somebody to look up to.â&#x20AC;? Another friend, Nicholas Hamilton, said McDonald had been pursuing his rapping dream since high school. McDonald graduated from Westview in 2007, and the West Valley is featured in his music videos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was coming up as far as being known and being wealthy in Arizona, a little faster than normal people would as far as rapping and making money around here,â&#x20AC;? Hamilton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is something that happened over greed, over money and he was celebrating at Jaguarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nightclub and then just next door, he gets shot.â&#x20AC;? Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS or 480-TESTIGO. Toll-free calls can be made to 1-800343-TIPS, and information can also be submitted at silentwitness.org. Emily Toepfer can be reached at etoepfer@westvalleyview.com or on Twitter @EmilyToepfer.

response, it appears Jesse said no. However, when police ran his name through the database, it showed his house was two doors down. Jesse can also be heard on the video telling an officer that he used to go to school in the middle of the night, and he was wearing his school uniform but no shoes. When an officer knocked on the door at his house, Jesseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, Crystal Wilson, responded that she just saw the open second-floor window and showed police where he jumped out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is a handful,â&#x20AC;? Crystal said, adding that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard of hearing and wears a hearing aid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will keep a better eye on Jesse Wilson him.â&#x20AC;? She told police Jesse has some learning and developmental issues, and he continually tries to leave the house without permission. She indicated that he takes medication, but it is an ongoing issue with him, according to the police report. She also noted that she had just bought the house and moved to Buckeye. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see each other again sometime; hopefully not under these circumstances,â&#x20AC;? she said. As Crystal and Jesse walked back to their house, she can be heard thanking the neighbor and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Next time he comes to your house, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feed him, bring him home. He just had a big dinner.â&#x20AC;? Police reports also detail another encounter five years earlier in Avondale. An officer responded to the family home after a caller reported that Crystal may be abusing her five adopted children and not providing them with sufficient food. An officer went to the house at about 9 a.m. May 2, 2011. Five children between the ages of 15 months and about 4 years old were in the house, including three girls and two boys, the report states. The boys were asleep in an upstairs bedroom in separate beds. The officer reported they were wearing harnesses similar to a backpack with shoulder straps, which were tied to the bed posts with a three-foot string. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This attachment allowed sufficient movement on the bed, but prevented the boys from leaving the room,â&#x20AC;? the officer wrote in the report. Crystal told the officer the boys had gotten out of the house one morning at about 2:30 a.m. while she and the other children were asleep. They played in the mud and then returned to the house and went back to sleep. She changed the locks on the door, but said the boys are active and used a chair to unlock the door. She then bought a bed harness from Toys R Us, which she attached to the boys while they were asleep and removed in the morning. The officer checked the children for signs of abuse, but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find anything, the report stated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the time of contact, the children appeared they were in good health, clothed, fed, active and alert,â&#x20AC;? the officer wrote. The kitchen was also stocked with food, so the officer left the home, the report stated. Jesse has been missing more than five weeks. He was last seen sleeping in his bed at 9:30 p.m. July 17 near Watson and Yuma roads in Buckeye. When Crystal went to check on him four hours later, Jesse was gone. Police said Crystal is cooperating with law enforcement. Jesse is described as black, 4 feet tall and weighing 60 pounds. He has short buzzed brown hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a red T-shirt, unknown color shorts, and black socks and shoes. If you have seen him or know of his whereabouts, contact the Buckeye Police Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tip line at 623-349-6411 or 911. Information can also be sent to bpdtips@buckeyeaz.gov.

Correction Statement attributed to wrong candidate In a report about the Avondale City Council candidate forum on Page 10 in the Aug. 17 edition, a statement about programs for youth, parks and education was attributed to the wrong candidate.

The View regrets the error.

Family members identified Martinez-Acosta as the driver, and the victims later picked him out of a photo lineup, records state. Registration information on his vehicle showed he had no current address, but his family members told police they believe he is regularly in the Goodyear area, records state. More than two months later, Goodyear police received a call from the husband and father of the victims, who said he had knocked on the door of the house where the incident started, and Martinez-Acosta answered the door, records state. Police responded and found him attempting to run through a backyard. He was apprehended by a K9 and treated at Abrazo West Campus in Goodyear for a dog bite, records state. After his arrest, he allegedly confessed to chasing the victims, and said he thought his wife was in the vehicle. Martinez-Acosta allegedly also rammed his ex-wife’s car in May during an incident in Glendale, records state.

Man who stole from homeless sentenced to 3.5 years in prison West Phoenix man also ordered to pay victims $61,000 in restitution by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

A west Phoenix man was sentenced last week to three and a half years in prison for stealing Social Security benefits from the homeless. Sergio Solorzano, 43, pleaded guilty to an attempted fraud scheme, theft and taking the identity of another. The court also ordered him to pay the victims $61,286 in restitution. The Arizona Attorney General’s Office indicted Solorzano after an investigation found he stole Social Security benefits between January 2013 and October 2015 from three homeless men who lived at the Phoenix Rescue Mission, where he had worked since 2002. As part of his duties at the mission, Solorzano received the mail, which Sergio Solorzano gave him access to checks and pre-loaded debit cards sent to the residents by the Social Security Administration. Solorzano will serve two probation terms upon his release from prison. Special Agent Madison McDonald with the Attorney General’s Office Special Investigation Section was the lead investigator on the case. It was prosecuted by Assistant Attorney General Shawn Steinberg.

Grand jury indicts Colorado man Avondale business in July police pursuit across Valley sued for unpaid by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

A Colorado man was indicted Aug. 17 on 15 felony counts related to a police pursuit last month that spanned more than 30 miles and ended in Goodyear, court records state. John Rothrock, 48, of Golden, Colo., faces charges of aggravated assault, unlawful discharge of a firearm, disorderly conduct and unlawful flight from law enforcement, records state. At about 11 p.m. July 14, Rothrock allegedly drove up to a Mesa police lieutenant in a fully marked patrol vehicle, stuck a handgun out the window, fired two shots into the air and yelled, “Kill me,” records state. The lieutenant attempted to stop the truck, but Rothrock allegedly fled westbound, not stopping for red lights through Tempe, Phoenix, Tolleson, Avondale and Goodyear, records state.

Police tried to force his truck to fishtail in Goodyear, but Rothrock allegedly swerved sharply toward the officers’ vehicles, causing them to brake in order to avoid a collision, records state. Stop sticks were deployed on Van Buren Street at 137th and 154th avenues, which damaged the truck and caused it to become disabled at 169th Avenue, records state. Rothrock allegedly exited his vehicle at that point armed with a handgun and pointed it at officers, firing at least three times, records state. When police returned fire, he got back in the truck. Rothrock was eventually tased and taken into custody, records state. He sustained at least one gunshot wound and was taken to a hospital, records state. No officers were injured.

FRIENDLY, EXPERT SERVICE FROM YOUR LOCAL WESTSIDE HOME LOAN PROFESSIONALS

An Avondale electrical contractor is being sued by the U.S. Department of Labor for unpaid overtime wages owed to 200 employees, records state. The lawsuit was filed against Austin Electric Services, 1418 N. Eliseo Felix Jr. Way, and President Toby Thomas after investigators allegedly discovered the company has violated the Fair Labor Standards Act’s provisions on overtime and record keeping. It marks the third time in the past five years that the department has found the business in violation of federal labor laws, records state. The complaint alleges the defendants “willfully and repeatedly violated — and continue to violate — overtime and record keeping provisions by failing to pay some electricians overtime,” records state. Instead, the company allegedly paid workers a piece rate, without regard for how many hours they worked. The complaint also alleges that Austin Electric and Thomas knowingly provided the department with falsified records of hours worked, records state. Managers allegedly instructed electricians who worked between 45 and 70 hours per week to record only 40 hours or less on their time sheets, records state. Austin Electric was also investigated in 2012 and found to have misclassified field electricians and other workers as independent contractors, records state. A 2013 follow-up investigation resulted in $23,885 in back wages due to 72 employees misclassified again as independent contractors. Most of the back wages due were the result of overtime violations. In 2013, Austin Electric also paid $9,424 in penalties for the willful nature of the violations found, records state. The latest complaint seeks the payment of overtime back wages and an equal amount in liquidated damages for 200 employees, and also asks the court to enjoin the company and its owners from violating the FLSA in the future, records state. “We will not tolerate an employer that continues to violate the law and deprive workers of their hard-earned overtime wages,” said Eric Murray, director of the Wage and Hour Division’s district office in Phoenix. “The fact that we have found Austin Electric in violation multiple times in the last five years makes their actions all the more egregious. This lawsuit demonstrates that we will use every enforcement tool available to us, and that we will follow through to hold employers accountable and to ensure that workers are paid every penny they have rightfully earned.” The fair labor act requires covered, non-exempt employees be paid at least the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour for all hours worked, plus time and a half of their regular rates, including commissions, bonuses and incentive pay for hours worked beyond 40 a week, according to the Department of Labor. Employers also must maintain accurate time and payroll records, and are prohibited from retaliating against workers who exercise their rights under the law.

5 races to watch 1. Avondale mayor

(From Page 1) at the Recorder’s/Elections Office at 510 S. Third Ave., Phoenix, or 111 S. Third Ave., Phoenix.

Federal, state, county ballot In the primary, voters in each party will vote to nominate candidates to go on to the November election. • Federal races on the ballot include the Republican nomination for U.S. senator, with five-term incumbent Sen. John McCain and three challengers competing for the right to face Democrat Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick in November. Also on the ballot are the representatives to the U.S. House. • State races lack the high-profile offices that were elected two years ago, but there is a contest for Corporation Commission, with five Republicans seeking nomination for three seats. And there are some races for who will get on the ballot for all 30 Senate and 60 House seats up for election in the Legislature. • County offices have no party contests for assessor, attorney or treasurer, but Republicans have races for sheriff, recorder and school superintendent. Two incumbent county commissioners serving areas of the Southwest Valley — Clint Hickman in District 4 and Steve Gallardo in District 5 — are unopposed.

City ballots Elections for city councils in Avondale, Buckeye, Tolleson and Litchfield Park are nonpartisan. Incumbent mayors in Avondale, Buckeye and Tolleson are facing challengers. Winners will be declared in the city races if candidates get a majority of the vote. Top candidates in races where a candidate does not get 50 percent plus one of the vote advance to a runoff in November. • Avondale will select a mayor from three candidates and three City Council members from five candidates. • Tolleson will elect a mayor from two candidates and three City Council members from seven candidates. • Buckeye has the choice of three candidates for mayor and seven candidates in three City Council districts. • Litchfield Park has no contest with three candidates running for three City Council seats. Avondale and Tolleson voters also will vote on whether

With three City Council veterans splitting the vote, it’s likely that no one will win the 50 percent plus one necessary to claim the office, sending the campaign to a runoff in November. Who will make the cut? Mayor Kenneth Weise wants to keep the office he was appointed to two years ago, but Vice Mayor Stephanie Karlin and former Councilman and Vice Mayor Frank Scott are mounting challenges.

2. Buckeye mayor

Mayor Jackie Meck, an institution in Buckeye government, is relying on decades of experience to defeat two challengers — Councilman Brian McAchran and Thomas Campanella Jr. Can he avoid a runoff?

3. County clerk

County Clerk Helen Purcell took responsibility for the fiasco that was this year’s Presidential Preference Election, but can voters forgive her? She will face her first test in her bid to win an eighth term in the Republican primary with a challenge from Aaron Flannery. The winner faces uncontested Democratic candidate Adrian Fontes in November. Also on the county ballot, watch to see if controversial Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who has been to extend Home Rule authority, which allows city government to exceed state spending limits.

Looking ahead The General Election is Nov. 8, with the presidential candidates at the top of the ballot. Early voting will start on Oct. 12. Residents who aren’t registered to vote can register by Oct. 10 to participate in the November election. Requests for early ballots for the November election will be taken until Oct. 28.

Ray Strauss resigned his seat on the Buckeye City Council to run for U.S. House. How will he fare against incumbent Paul Gosar, a member of Congress since 2011, in the Republican primary for the District 4 seat?

5. Legislative races

Voters have a chance to extend this season’s anti-incumbency sentiment to the legislative level in several local races. District 29 Democrats have the choice of Rep. Richard C. Andrade, Cesar Chavez, Rosa Cantu or Marshall Pimentel Jr., who replaces Rep. Ceci Velasquez on the ballot after she was indicted for food-stamp fraud. District 29 Sen. Martin Quezada faces Lydia Hernandez in the Democratic primary. In the District 13 Republican race for House, Reps. Darin Mitchell and Don Shooter face challenger Ray Kouns. Also in District 13, Diane Landis is seeking to stop Steve Montenegro’s bid to move from the House to the Senate in the Republican primary. the ballot, refer to the July 27 edition of West Valley View or visit westvalleyview.com.

make local spending decisions. A defeat of Home Rule would likely cause havoc, officials said. Cities would continue to collect taxes, but would lack authority to spend all the money that comes in. If Home Rule fails to pass, Avondale estimates its annual budget capacity would be reduced by 35 percent in fiscal year

2017-18, resulting in significant cuts. Avondale voters have approved Home Rule every four years since 1981 and most recently by 83 percent, according to the city. In Tolleson, the Home Rule extension was approved by just two votes when it was last on the ballot in 2013.

OUR VIEWPOINT

DELONAS’ OPINION — CagleCartoons.com

EDITORIAL

Home Rule failure would cripple West Valley cities Avondale and Tolleson voters have one question on their ballots that is more important than any office they’ll be voting for. It’s the question of whether or not to approve the Home Rule Option. Passage of the Home Rule Option, or the Alternative Local Expenditure Limitation, is crucial if residents wish to keep the services they’ve become accustomed to — police and fire protection, trash collection, clean water, things like that. Thanks to the state’s infinite wisdom, cities that haven’t passed the Permanent Base Adjustment, effectively abolishing Home Rule, must ask their residents every four years to pass Home Rule or slash their budgets to an impossible figure, a figure that is far exceeded by their revenues. The state decided back in 1980 to cap cities’ budgets at their 1978-79 figures using a now antiquated formula to adjust for inflation and population. It just doesn’t work. Avondale’s budget based on the formula would be more than $80 million less than its projected budget of $176 million. Tolleson’s would be more than $40 million less than its projected $62 million. Both cities would still collect revenues equal to their projected budgets, they just wouldn’t be able to spend them. Response times for police and fire would most likely be measured in hours instead of minutes. Residents would be responsible for their own trash disposal. Roads would deteriorate. And both cities would be sitting on millions and millions of dollars that they couldn’t touch. It would be like driving a 1980 Chevy Citation and living in a single-wide ’60s-era trailer while having enough money in the bank to afford a 2016 GMC Yukon and a brand new 2,500-squarefoot house, but you couldn’t touch that money. Approving Home Rule does not allow cities to raise taxes, it simply allows them to spend the money they collect. Obviously, services such as police, fire, sewer and water would be last on the chopping block. Cities would cut things such as parks, libraries and community events from their budgets first. But when faced with having to cut tens of millions, those crucial services would definitely take a hit. Police and fire departments would likely still exist but what would their force number? If it sounds like we’re trying to scare you, good, we are. Because Avondale and Tolleson would be scary places to live if Home Rule fails. Failure of Home Rule wouldn’t force these cities to live within their means, it would cripple them to the point of no return. We mentioned the Permanent Base Adjustment earlier. Buckeye is the most recent West Valley city to pass it, following in the footsteps of Goodyear and Litchfield Park. Permanent Base Adjustment eliminates the need to seek voter approval for Home Rule every four years by raising the expenditure limitation to a more modern number in line with current city services. We urge both cities to seek the Permanent Base Adjustment in 2018. Although both cities have passed Home Rule every four years since 1982, Tolleson had quite the scare in 2013 when it passed by just two votes. But that’s down the road. For now, we urge all Avondale and Tolleson voters to vote yes on Home Rule.

Ariz. road work Vote yes on is a waste Home Rule Editor: Well since Monday 2/15/16,actually they started on Friday the 19th,Sarival Rd. between Camelback & Indian School has been closed. The sign, originally posted but then mysteriously disappeared within 3 weeks, read from 2/15/16 to 5/15/16.Good thing I took a picture. Now we sit 3 months past due & yet it’s still not open. We know they’re building a business park but whatever goes across Sarival doesn’t take 6 months to do. Maybe we should start doing what they do back East & that’s making construction accountable & they have to finish no later than their contracted dates. Maybe since all the driving residents,who have to drive 3 extra miles both ways to get thru, should be compensated for every day they keep going over. Road construction in Arizona is one of the biggest waste of

Editor: On August 30th, Avondale voters will have the option to again allow the city to determine its own way to spend its money. Prop 486 is the Extension of the Alternative Expenditure Limitation (Home Rule) for the City of Avondale for the next four years. If approved, this ballot measure will enable the city to continue local control of its budget. There is no vote in this Avondale election cycle more important than Home Rule. Like all cities and towns, Avondale has seen significant growth. Each year, the city prepares a budget that reflects current revenues and allocates funds according to the needs of the community to provide the levels of service that residents have come to expect. The city estimates that service and improvement needs for Avondale during fiscal year

2016/17 will cost $176,731,99 - $82,015,519 over the state imposed limitation. A YES vote on Prop 486 will continue the alternative expenditure limitation in Avondale for four years, allowing Avondale to provide services and improvements to the community based upon current financial conditions and service needs. Home Rule is NOT a means to increase tax rates or expenditures — it simply allows the City Council to make local decisions to spend money that is already being allocated. If not approved, Avondale’s annual budget capacity would be reduced by approximately 35% in fiscal year 2017/18 resulting in significant cutbacks in programs, services and capital projects. Every four years since 1981, Avondale has asked voters to consider the “Home Rule” alternative Expenditure Limitation option. Avondale voters have consistently approved the Home Rule Option. I encourage you to again vote YES on Prop 486 and allow the City of Avondale to continue to provide the services its residents expect and deserve! Kenn Weise Avondale mayor (See Letters on Page 7)

We need criminal control Editor: Due to the lack of knowledge inherent in “We Need Gun Control: WVV, Aug. 10th, I assume the, author was not a field officer. I refer to her definition of the term “Assault weapons.” As a veteran who spent many years in the Near and Middle East and Africa I would like to respond to her curious and error laced “letter.” In recent opinion polls “Most Intelligent Americans” feel that the more than twenty thousand gun laws currently on the books are sufficient. The problem is Federal and State Justice Departments are not prosecuting those laws. It’s called, crime or criminal control. Vets, including my own son, a fighting United States Marine put themselves in harms way daily as do our brave men and women law enforcement officers. Many have paid and will continue to pay the ultimate price for the freedoms that are taken for granted. That would include the 1st and 2nd Amendments which are being eroded daily by politicians. I would strongly urge the retired deputy sheriff to read “The Great Assault Weapon Hoax” by Joseph Tartaro, and “Assault on Weapons,” “Dancing in Blood” and “Shooting Blanks” by Alan Gottlieb and Lt Col. Dave workman. As for members of law enforcement being “seriously outgunned” there is no credible evidence to support that statement and although suicide is tragic it does not require a firearm. The love of liberty is not “ antiquated” and the “new world” is a damn sight more dangerous than it used to be. As Goethe said, “There is nothing more terrifying than ignorance in action” With respect, of course, from a “whining self serving” vet. DJ Hammond Buckeye

A safer D.C. Editor: Have you or any of your readers ever thought about how close Washington D.C. is to the Atlantic Ocean? With today’s missiles and war ships, an enemy country could be 150 or 200 miles off the east coast and hit D.C. in half an hour. We patrol out about 120 miles. We have quick response teams, but could we spot and stop twenty or thirty missiles all going to D.C. at the same time? In the war of 1812, the British destroyed Washington D.C.! Why should we think it could not happen again. Perhaps the problem is the location of Washington D.C.? If D.C. was near the middle of the country, there would be plenty of time to react to incoming missles. All we need would be for Colorado and Nebraska to give up some land along the common border for

the NEW Washington D.C.. The Old D.C. could be given back to Maryland and Virginia as tourists attractions. Just think of the jobs created for a modern safe D.C. being built. Colorado would give up some of Yuma county and Nebraska would give up some of Dundy county. Of course, I did not present this to Washington D.C. nor the States of Colorado or Nebraska. Anyone besides myself think it is a good idea? Bernard Oviatt Salome

Donald Trump Editor: Republicans creat Frankenstein, now you Republicans will pay for this disaster that you created. When you Republicans had a chance to set him straight you diden’t. It seems that all of you Republicans were scared of Him. Now you Republicans are the captains of the Titanic. And you will all sink with your ship. You will lose the White House, the Senate, and the House to, among other posts. Mebbe after this disaster you Republicans will learn to treat people with respect, I doubt it tho. A couple of weeks ago I saw something that made me angry and sad at the same time. TV Channel-3 was paying for teachers school supplies. The teachers were using thier hard earned pay checks for school supplies something that never happed when I was in school, but in those days Democrats were in charge, now Republicans are cutting everything, left and right. That’s the difference between Republicans and Democrats. I can’t wait for the American people to tell you Republicans to go home. Can you imagine Donald Trump losing to a girl, I hope he doesen’t jump off the Grand Cayon, that would make a mess. Alfred Molina Tonopah

The facts of corruption Editor: I wish that Mr. Arnold Knack would get familiar with all the facts.

afore mentioned administration. It would take over a thousand pages to explain. However, in reference to Mrs. Clinton, she is a person with many tittles and no substance. Since she’s been involve in government work, the only thing she has created are disasters. Of course you would have understood this if you have been born on this planet. As I stated on the last article, that is if you read it to the end, “IN WAR, TRUTH IS THE FIRST CASAULTY”. Think about it. Jaime Ruiz-Sandoval Litchfield Park

Is settling the norm? Editor: School’s been in session for a couple weeks and already I’m seeing things that make me wonder “when did settling for less become the norm”? All you have to do is Google “where does Arizona rank in education” to see that we rank 45th out of 50 states. My grandchildren recently received their AZ Merit scores from last year. One of them did exceptionally well; averaging well above students in his school, district and state. The other didn’t do well, scoring “Barely Sufficient,” on average with students in his school, district and state. When I questioned him, he said his teacher told him he did really good. I asked him if he thought that was the case; he said as long as my teacher says I did, I’m ok with it. My oldest grandson just started high school. I was saddened to see he didn’t even know how to sign his name. Did you know cursive is no longer taught in school, and hasn’t been for years? That a child can graduate from high school and not know how to sign his name? But they have laptops and know how to type. It’s been 46 years since I graduated from high school in Wisconsin. I admit to being old school, but I’d rather a child cart around a textbook and read it, than learn by playing games on a computer. One of my grandsons, the “barely sufficient” one, told me there was no such thing as a good book and didn’t know why he should have to read. My oldest daughter used to be an English teacher. She quit teaching; not because of the students, but because of their parents. If only we were as excited about our children’s academic success as we are about Friday night football games. Marge Meggers Buckeye

Can we keep our Constitution? Editor: In about 1973 The Shah of Iran made a deal with the USA for airplanes. Jimmy Carter was President. The Shaw was kicked out of office and the money remained here. 2016 some of the money, with more to come, suddenly we had to pay back over 400 million dollars in unmarked bills just as our hostages were to be released. Sounds like ransom to me. Money laundering at best. Why that day? Why the hurry? We also released guantamo prisoners at that time. Will they be back to killing us again, time will tell won’t it? Officers of Iranian army were seen buying arms, ammo, tanks airplanes etc. from Russia and China. So we will be paying for the arms that kill our sons, daughters, husbands, wives, y and friends. A proud moment for America! Our POTUS also released 564 felons unto our streets. I bet we all feel safer now. Go ahead vote for Hillary if you want more of the same. Deceptions, coverup Manipulations and lies and more lies. The FBI is now investigating the Clinton Foundation. Won’t that be fun, a President who has to pardon herself. To top it off her husband an impeached, and disbarred lawyer. Let’s not forget all the women he attacked. Our Foundling Fathers pledged their lives, their fortune, their sacred honor to give us our freedom. Will you give away your freedom of speech,(almost gone now) freedom of religion, and our freedom to protect ourselves. We will get a Supreme Court and 64 federal judges that will always vote for dems. causes. My answer is no! This President has destroyed our relationship with Israel because of his affection for Islam. Me and my family stand with Israel always. Jean Levandowski Litchfield Park

Clinton email server issue Editor: Hillary testified that she did not send nor receive classified or top secret emails on her server(s). This being the case, why are the FBI interview notes heavily redacted, and the notes are being declared top secret and access limited to the top secret closed (See Letters on Page 8)

, Hillary will have to preside over the total dismantling of the Constitution of the United States. This will be done by illegal executive orders , increased regulations, and by making radical Supreme Court appointees. So , if you are ready to sacrifice all of your precious Constitutional guarantees, and if you are OK with trashing the Bill of Rights , then by all means vote for Hillary ! Understand the implications . Hillary will not hesitate to impose her ideology on everyone of us. No more freedom of speech ; No more freedom to peacefully assemble ; No more freedom of religion ; No more freedom to possess firearms ; No more freedom of movement without a government permit ; Limited freedom to control your own money. We are at a cross road . November’s election will determine whether or not we remain a free people for the next hundred years and beyond. If you vote for Hillary, you must at the same, time seriously consider how you will explain that vote to your children and grand children years from now, when with teary eyes they ask you how the freest nation in history lost it all. What went wrong Vote for Hillary, so that we can have our first female President and lose our freedom in the process. Yes a female President, but not Hillary, Never Hillary ! Her actions as Secretary of State have shown that she is not worthy of being President . She is a charlatan a pathological liar, and a con artist, performing on the worlds biggest stage.

Letters (From Page 7) access system. The FBI agree to release these interview notes to Congress, but the Chairman of the oversight committee requesting the note does not have the necessary security clearance to review ALL of the content of the note. So the questions you need to asked yourself is, if Hillary said there was no top secret emails sent or received, then why have the notes of her secret interview with the FBI declared to contain classified content that only individuals at the highest level of government can read. A good committed democrat will say..... so....but many of us Americans are outraged at the lose of honesty and integrity in our politics process. The political elite establishment has fail all Americans. The permanent government establishment have become extremely political (the IRS, the EPA, the Justice Department) Trust in government is at it lowest level. It’s rhetoric over substance. Our last election was based on Hope and Change and Transparency.......well maybe we should embrace this because it’s just been a slogan of little substance........We need Change and Transparency.......and Hope is eternal....

‘Stink’ is being close-minded Editor: Appears to me that Mr. Compton would have us believe that Hillary and the Democratic Party is all love and wonderful while Donald and the Republicans are pure evil. His socialistic, liberal drivel is quite obvious. Both candidates and parties have good and bad qualities about them. Until Mr. Compton and others from both parties stop their myopic views and hateful attitudes, the congress will remain in gridlock and the American people will remain divided. The “stink” is being close minded David. Skip Hanson Peoria

Weise for mayor Editor: The decision of who to vote for in the race for Avondale Mayor is an easy one, it is Ken Weise. Many of the reasons I’m voting for Ken are the same used by the current Avondale City Council when it chose Ken Weise to be appointed mayor after a vacancy in the Mayor’s office. They knew Ken after serving with him on the council. They knew then, as I do now, that Ken is best prepared for the job in both skill and temperament, has the best grasp of the issues at hand, the best understanding of what it will take to bring quality jobs to Avondale and to grow our city wisely. But most of all, Ken has a desire to improve the life of all who live in Avondale. Ken is running for the right reasons, the reasons that matter to everyone who lives in Avondale. To keep our community safe, our economy strong and to have the same opportunities in Avondale as in other cities. Ken is a man of principles and integrity and isn’t swayed by the latest trend or driven by a personal agenda. He isn’t short-sighted or self-serving. Isn’t that what we want in our elected leaders? I have served my community in elected office and understand it isn’t always easy, sometimes hard decisions must be made. We should want someone in the office of Mayor that is guided by reason and a desire to offer the best outcome to the most people. In the race for the Mayor of Avondale, that person is Ken Weise. I encourage all voters in Avondale to vote for Ken Weise for Mayor. Kim Owens Avondale

Speed bumps in an alley? Editor: Are you kidding me? Speed bumps installed in an alley? The city just installed speed bumps on E. San Xavier Blvd which is a little traveled alley that is mostly used by the garbage trucks…maybe they have bein speeding during trash pickup? We have residential streets (Buena Vista) that have an abundance of high speed traffic daily. The police do nothing when made aware We need speed bumps before someone is killed …

Oh yes…they are needed more in an alley. Nice going Goodyear. Dick Merdick Goodyear

Guilty by association Editor: Perhaps it’s time to remind ourselves of the old adage, “A Man Shall Be Known By The Company He Keeps”. If so,could anything be more revealing of Donald Trump’s character than his currently hooking up with the likes of Steve Bannon (Breitbart) & Roger Ailes (Fox)? These are two of the most reprehensible right wing, slash-and-burners in recent political history. I look forward to seeing a political cartoonist’s depiction of the three of them on a Republican trash-heap come November 9. Steve Berliner Buckeye

Did they or didn’t they? Editor: I am wondering if Kool-Aid drinkers, Posner, Flynn, Orr, et. al., whose ideological rantings regularly appear in the WVV, shed their pride long enough to go see Dinesh D’Souza’s documentary: Hillary’s America – A History of the Democratic Party.” Perhaps they ‘snuck’ out at night and to save face didn’t tell their Democrat friends they were going slumming. I can postulate responses from Demos who were brave enough to go see this movie and from those Demos who wouldn’t go see it. If they saw it, they will undoubtedly claim it’s all hogwash and untrue when in fact, every frame is true. If they didn’t go see the movie they are simply denying themselves factual information — thus their anti-Republican, pro-Democrat arguments about societal contributions by the Democratic party have no validity. As Congressman Earl Landgrebe said during the Watergate hearings, “Don’t confuse me with facts!”

Don’t forget to vote Editor: We’re down to the wire. Our local elections are upon us, nothing left to do except cast you votes. I strongly encouraged all registered voters to do just that . Remember , statewide votes DO count , we have a say in State, County and local governments. We DO NOT have a say in the Presidential Race. Folks, like it or not, we’re just screwed on that one !! so, VOTE, VOTE, VOTE The State of Arizona, our counties and local offices are depending on us. Kathy Scarlett Buckeye

The transition to tyranny Editor: We are moving rapidly from freedom to tyranny and a large part of the transitional governmental framework is now in position as well as are personnel of like belief or persuasion. We are now at that point in this internal revolution where it is violence and its solutions which must follow for the desired end results to be achieved. This is normal, logical and proven procedure when a nation is targeted and the groundwork has been done and is ongoing. Which leads now to the issue facing us in this downward slide to tyranny — violence! Based upon massive media coverage and opinion we would be led to believe that “we” are a racist police hating society and therefore must be disarmed and controlled by a national police force as the solution. “We” are a nation of over 300 million people up of many nationalities, ethnic groups etc. Do you honesty believe the vast majority of 300 million people are violently racist and hate the police? What we are seeing is a continuing escalation in street violence, made to appear as a national uprising — thanks to our national media and its ability to hope to convice us that racism and police hating are the root causes. The purpose is to divide us (class warfare) and control us. The orchestrated street violence represents the true nature of the enemy. If “we” surrender, that will become our reality. Those who would control us have

a big problem — we are an armed nation. Therefore we must be the cause of the violence. Conclusion — we must be disarmed to end the violence — which is what the media would have us believe. In the final analysis, freedom depends upon the ability of a nation to defend itself — from both foreign and domestic enemies. Karl Nelson Goodyear

Vote yes on Home Rule Editor: I urge you to vote YES on Proposition 486, Home Rule Option for Avondale. By voting YES, this will allow the City of Avondale to set expenditures on current and anticipated revenues rather than the state imposed limitations which are based on 1979-1980 expenditures. What this means is that with the City of Avondale’s FY 2016 budget of $176, 731,990 and the state imposed limit of $53.4 million, Avondale would have to cut $86.9 million in the budget. This means a significant loss of services and personnel even though the money is still in the coffers of Avondale. Avondale just wouldn’t be able to spend the money. If Home Rule doesn’t pass, the city would still be collecting taxes but wouldn’t be able to spend it. By voting YES, there will be no extra taxes or fees and allows the City of Avondale to spend the money that has already been collected for our current and future programs and services and personnel. By voting YES, this also allows the City of Avondale to continue with its local control of its budget. It is VITAL that you vote YES for an extension of the Home Rule, Prop 486 for the next four years. Vice Mayor Stephanie Karlin Avondale

Hello again, everyone, and welcome to the Business Briefcase. Hopefully, I’m not about to jinx it, but this is the first summer at my current place of residence, (undisclosed location of course) that my power hasn’t been knocked offline because of a storm. I was reminded of that fact while driving through a haboob Sunday evening. Another storm that lost the head-to-head matchup with the power of electricity. It’s not just when I’ve been home, either. I haven’t had to set one clock in the place all summer. That’s when you know you’re on a good power grid, when you don’t have to try to time up your stove clock with your phone Shane McOwen clock. Mine are constantly one minute off of each other. Of course, I’m sure this means I’ll have to retract all of this information next week, when a monsoon storm forces me to find the flashlights and candles. Let’s take a look at some business news, shall we? Does anyone remember CJS Film Studios in Avondale, behind the Gateway Pavilions shopping center on 103rd Avenue north of McDowell Road?

The studio hasn’t been in use for years — a fire actually torched a good portion of the facility in 2014 — but we finally have some progress toward what will replace it. A land planning consulting firm has filed a request with Avondale to rezone the land to allow the development of a 400-unit luxury apartment home community, Brett ADVERTISEMENT

Heers Apartments. The application is currently under review by city staff, and multiple public hearings are still to come. On a personal note, before the studio closed, I was threatened by someone (owner? caretaker?) because my friend and I somehow found ourselves on the property when we took a shortcut through the canal path just east of the studio. I never understood how it was my fault they only had fences and gates on one side of the property. Danny’s Truck Wash at the southeast corner of Roosevelt Street and 101st Avenue has filed a request with Avondale to expand its capacity by converting the closed car wash portion to additional truck bays. Danny’s Truck Wash and the city are still figuring out

logistics of the project, and the application has not been approved just yet. Legacy House Avondale, a 170-unit assisted living facility, is in preliminary works to go in just south of the currently under construction QuikTrip on the southeast corner of Dysart and Thomas roads. It’s still in the developmental stages, so there are no timetables on construction dates to report. Lastly, on a more tangible note, the Fry’s Marketplace on Litchfield and Camelback roads opened Aug. 19. It’s the company’s 121st grocery store in Arizona, and third marketplace to open in 2016. The marketplace is Fry’s largest store model (124,096 square feet to be exact), and the location will be open from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. seven days a week. The accompanying Fry’s Fuel Center at the southwest corner of the shopping plaza has been open for a few months. That’s all for this week, folks. We’re about three years and 50 weeks away from the next summer Olympic games. Better start marking off those calendars! As always, send tips, questions or comments to smcowen@westvalleyview.com. I’ll take a look at each and every one of them. Thanks for reading, and have a good week. Shane McOwen can be reached at smcowen@westvalleyview.com or on Twitter @ShaneMcOwen.

Manufacturing facility to create hundreds of jobs in West Valley by Kourtney Balsan special to the View

A new manufacturing facility under construction in Tolleson is expected to create more than 550 jobs in the West Valley. SK Food Group’s 212,000-square-foot facility is being built at the northwest corner of 75th Avenue and Buckeye Road. Hiring will begin in early 2017, officials said. “SK Food Group’s organizational culture is kindred to that of the city of Tolleson in which family, friendship and corporate relations reside in every moment of truth,” Tolleson Mayor Adolfo Gámez said. “Our organization stands ready to ensure that SK Food Group enjoys the swift speed to market for which Tolleson is renowned and honors their commitment to our community.” The Seattle-based company has manufacturing facilities in Nevada, Ohio and Canada. It assembles sandwiches and entrée items that are sold to grocery stores, quick service restaurants, cafes, the transportation industry and convenience stores, President and CEO Steve Sposari said. Its signature is the Oven Pride Kitchen line, which can be found in grocery stores all over the nation. The company expanded and partnered with Deli Chef and HQ Fine Foods to become one of the most robust sandwich makers in North America, according SK Food Group’s website. “We separate ourselves from others by offering high-quality items and exceptional customer service,” Sposari said. Sposari, 56, has been president and CEO of SK Food Group since 1999 and has been employed or associated with the company since 1979, he said. “The city of Tolleson, city of Phoenix

and the state of Arizona were gracious in their support of the SK Food Group deciding to expand our operations to Tolleson,” Sposari said. Executives of SK Food Group, including Sposari, attended Arizona’s Spring Training CEO Forum in March, when they met Gov. Doug Ducey and members of Arizona Zanjeros, a business leadership group created by Ducey. “SK Food Group is the latest in a string of manufacturing wins for Arizona,” Ducey said in a press release. “I’m thrilled to officially welcome them, and I am confident they’ll find success in Arizona.” SK Food Group decided to build in Arizona because of the attractive business climate, Sposari said, adding that Tolleson is perfect geographically with an affordable shovel-ready site, low energy costs, low corporate and individual income tax rates and an exceptional workforce available to meet hiring needs. “Several other Southwestern states were under consideration for this project; however, Arizona’s advantages for business, plus our collaborative, proactive effort to bring SK Food Group to our state won out,” said Sandra Watson, Arizona Commerce Authority president and CEO. SK Food Group also has plans to reinvest in the community with its Opportunity Youth program, which employs West Valley and West Phoenix residents ages 16-24 who are not currently in school or working, Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton said. “SK Food Group should be commended for their focus on helping Opportunity Youth and for giving young people a leg up and a

chance to succeed,” Stanton said in a press release. “This is exactly the type of company we want in our region because they came in the door asking how they could best show their commitment to our community.” The youth program is just a start, because SK Food Group plans to be highly involved in the community, Sposari said. He also stressed the company would be pleased to employ senior citizens who are interested, able and qualified. “It’s a method for us to give back to the communities in which we operate, while at the same time providing opportunities to those who could use it,” Sposari said. “Furthermore, it is a good investment on our part as we hope to develop the future leadership of the company.” The Arizona Commerce Authority and the city of Phoenix will help SK Food Group identify available workers, said Susan Marie with the ACA. “This project will generate significant capital investment in the Tolleson community. As more people enter the workforce and capital is deployed in the market, the economy grows,” she said. The jobs will be full-time positions with benefits, including medical, that are fully subsidized by the company, Sposari said. The company also offers a form of diversity training on its management team. “We look forward to a long and prosperous relationship with the greater Phoenix area while at the same time becoming a model corporate citizen,” Sposari said.

IRS warns tax professionals of scam The Internal Revenue Service is warning tax professionals to an emerging phishing email scam that pretends to be from tax software providers and tries to trick recipients into clicking on a bogus link. The email scheme is the latest in a series of attempts by fraudsters to use the IRS or other tax issues as a cover to trick people into giving up sensitive information such as passwords, Social Security numbers or credit card numbers or to make unnecessary payments. In the new scheme identified as part of the IRS Security Summit process, tax professionals are receiving emails pretending to be from tax software companies. The email scheme requests the recipient to download and install an important software update via a link included in the e-mail. Once recipients click on the embedded link, they are directed to a website prompting them to download a file appearing to be an update of their software package. The file has a naming convention that uses the actual name of their software followed by an “.exe extension.” Upon completion, tax professionals believe they have downloaded a software update when in fact they have loaded a program designed to track the tax (See Business Briefs on Page 11)

A series of events sponsored by the city of Avondale will include the return of a parade and festival named for the community’s founder to be staged in time to mark the city’s 70th anniversary. Avondale’s Billy Moore Days will be Oct. 21-23 on Western Avenue in Historic Avondale. It’s among a series of six major events and 10 other events that start this month, according to Kirk Haines, director of the city’s Parks, Recreation and Libraries Department. The opening night of this year’s Billy Moore Days will include Resident Appreciation Night and GAIN night activities, which have been in October in recent years, Haines told the Avondale City Council at a meeting in July. The event will also feature Billy Moore Days traditions, including a Saturday morning parade, with former Avondale educator Belen Moreno as grand marshal. A carnival, with 10 to 12 rides at Dennis DeConcini Park, 351 E. Western Ave., will run for three days, Haines said. There will also be an entertainment stage and perhaps fireworks, he said. Billy Moore Days was a tradition in Avondale for decades until 2008, when city-sponsored events became the victim of budget cuts caused by the economic downturn. As the economy improved, city events made a comeback, growing to about 10 annual events. An attempt to revive Billy Moore Days in 2010 was unsuccessful, but support for restoring the event has been increasing in recent years. Mayor Kenn Weise included a call for the return of the festival in this year’s State of the City address, and the City Council considered the subject during a meeting in April. Councilman Lorenzo Sierra, who is on the event planning committee, said response to a Facebook posting he made about Billy Moore Days showed a “groundswell of support” for the event. Officials suggested that attendance will build on the estimated 4,500 who attended Resident Appreciation Night in the past. Weise said the event will be an opportunity to showcase the city as it observes its 70th anniversary. According to historical accounts, William Moore was something of a scoundrel before he made his way from Missouri to the Arizona Territory in 1867. Moore eventually settled on the west banks of the Agua Fria River and opened a general store, established a stage coach stop and became the postmaster and justice of the peace in the town originally named Coldwater. He died at age 92 in 1934. Avondale was incorporated in 1946 and the first Billy Moore Days was organized by the local Chamber of Commerce in 1954, celebrating the Western lifestyle with beard growing contests, a beauty pageant and street dances. The city took over the event in 2005. Before the event was discontinued, the Billy Moore Days parade was billed as the longest-running parade in the state. A local parade made a comeback in 2012, when Avondale, Goodyear and Estrella Mountain Community College established the Tale of Two Cities festival.

Concert and workshop kicks off arts events The new season of events sponsored by the city of Avondale kicks off with the first of a series of new performing arts events. The inaugural event on Aug. 27 is the Avondale Music Showcase and Workshop at the Estrella Mountain Community College Performing Arts Center, 3000 N. Dysart Road, Avondale. For those interested in getting into the music industry, the event will feature a two-hour workshop at 3 p.m. with the Alice Cooper Solid Rock performers. The workshop is geared toward teams and college-age young adults. At 6 p.m. there will be a concert with performances by Laura Walsh and John Caufield. Walsh, a pop-country singer-songwriter and an Arizona native, was soloist winner of the Alice Cooper Proof is in the Pudding talent search in 2014 and was a contestant in the last season of American Idol. She has been an opening act at concerts for Miranda Lambert, Sugarland and Dierks Bentley. Caufield is a singer-songwriter and guitarist who is a former winner of the Proof is in the Pudding talent search. He’s originally from New Jersey and now lives in Arizona. The concert is free for the first 300 who arrive. The event is hosted in part by Alice Cooper Solid Rock and the Performing Arts Center. To register for the workshop, visit gbump.com/avondale-music-showcase/.

Avondale event dates Mark your calendars. Here are dates for the next season of events planned by Avondale’s Parks, Recreation and Libraries Department: • Aug. 27: Performing Arts Event — Avondale Music Show • Oct. 15: Neighborhood Movie Night • Oct. 21-22: Billy Moore Days • Nov. 4: Mayors Challenge Golf Tournament • Nov. 11: Veterans Day Celebration & Fun Run • Dec. 3: Avondale Winterfest • Jan. 28: Performing Arts Event • Feb. 25: A Tale of Two Cities Parade and Festival • March 4-5: Tres Rios Nature & Earth Festival • March 25: Neighborhood Movie Night • April 8: KidFest! • April 22: Performing Arts Event (tentative) • April 29: Neighborhood Movie Night • May 5: Avondale Fiesta • May 29: Memorial Day Ceremony But nostalgia for an Avondale heritage event lingered judging by a 2014 online petition advocating the return of Billy Moore Days that generated hundreds of signatures. Vice Mayor Stephanie Karlin said city-sponsored events are a way to bring the community together. Billy Moore Days and Tale of Two Cities are among what Haines called Avondale’s “signature events.” They include the holiday season Avondale WinterFest, the TresRios Nature Festival, the Friendship Park play day KidFest! and Avondale Fiesta, which is timed to coincide with Cinco de Mayo. What Haines called “specialty events” includes the return of movie nights, three family-themed films to be screened in Avondale neighborhoods. A one-time event will be the Friendship Park grand re-opening sometime in September to celebrate improvements at the city’s largest park, which has been closed during the summer for renovations. Haines said games and activities will focus on the park’s new splash pad and picnic shelters. Other events are traditional, including Veterans Day and Memorial Day observances. Absent from the schedule is a repeat of last winter’s comedy show, which reportedly attracted a full house but drew criticism from some City Council members who thought the show’s adult content didn’t match Avondale’s family-friendly image. Haines said the budget for city events is $370,000, with $274,000 coming from a City Council allocation and the rest from sponsorships and fees. Billy Moore Days is the most costly of the events, budgeted at $121,500. Costs cover a contract with Goosebump Marketing & Events, a Phoenix company that produces the events. Haines said the city is in the last year of a five-year contract with Goosebump. He noted that the city supports several other local events with sponsorship agreements.

(From Page 9) professional’s key strokes, which is a common tactic used by cyber thieves to steal login information, passwords and other sensitive data. Although the IRS knows of only a handful of cases to date, tax professionals are encouraged to be on the lookout for the scams and never to click on unexpected links in emails. Similar email schemes using tax software names have targeted individual taxpayers. The IRS urges all tax preparers to take the following steps: • Be alert for phishing scams: do not click on links or open attachments contained in e-mails and always use a software provider’s main webpage for connecting to it. • Run a security “deep scan” to search for viruses and malware. • Strengthen passwords for both computer access and software access; make sure the password is a minimum of eight digits long (more is better) with a mix of numbers, letters and special characters. • Educate all staff members about the dangers of phishing scams in the form of emails, texts and calls. • Review any software employees use to remotely access the network and/or the IT support vendor uses to remotely troubleshoot technical problems and support the systems. Remote access software is a potential target for bad actors to gain entry and take control of a machine. Tax professionals should review Publication 4557, Safeguarding Taxpayer Data, A Guide for Your Business, which provides a checklist to help safeguard taxpayer information and enhance office security.

Scorpions sting Coyotes, take season opener Desert Edge makes big impression in jump to 5A by Casey Pritchard sports editor

TEHRAN THOMAS, right, of Desert Edge holds the ball out in front of running back Rocky Perez Aug. 20 in the Scorpions’ season opener. Perez had 18 carries for 76 yards, while Thomas carried 18 times for 104 yards and two touchdowns. Desert Edge beat Centennial 26-24.

FLAGSTAFF — Desert Edge passed its first test in 5A, and it was a big one. The Scorpions beat defending Division I champion Peoria Centennial 26-24 Aug. 20 at Coconino High School in Flagstaff. The game was played there as part of the Sollenberger Classic. Desert Edge struggled in the first half, but finally got things going after intermission, and capitalized on some timely FOOTBALL turnovers from Centennial. “It was a yo-yo game, kind of back and forth,” Desert Edge coach Rich Wellbrock said. “At the end of the day, I think it was one of those situations where we made plays when we had to make plays. In these big games, that’s what it comes down to.” Centennial turned the ball over twice in the first half, and three more times in the second. Two of those were killers, as one resulted in a fumble recovery touchdown that gave Desert Edge the lead, and the other set up the Scorpions’ final touchdown, which put the game out of reach. “We talk about it all the time; in big games, it comes down to three plays,” Wellbrock said. “We can go back and look at it and everybody is going to say the turnovers or whatever else, but maybe it was the previous play that set up them having to run a certain play. At the end of the day, it’s game one. Both sides are going to analyze and overanalyze everything, but we’re both going to be different football teams come, probably, November.” The game didn’t start out great for Desert Edge, as Centennial burned off nearly eight minutes from the clock in a 14-play drive that resulted in a field goal, making it 3-0. “We couldn’t get off the field on third down in the (See Sting on Page 20)

Kelley ended the game with 238 yards on 21 of 35 passing and two touchdowns, but only had 63 yards on 9 of 18 in the first half.

Youngker opened up its season at home against El Mirage Dysart, and while the Roughriders started off strong, the Demons would eventually cool them down, defeating Youngker 39-17. Running backs Christopher Medcalf and Pacey Prettyman led the way for the Demons, as Prettyman finished FOOTBALL with 16 carries for 110 yards and two touchdowns, while Medcalf finished with 10 carries for 164 yards and two touchdowns. Medcalf also had three receptions for 30 yards and a touchdown. Youngker (0-1) started off on a good note, as its very first play of the opening drive was a 42-yard completion from quarterback Alex Rodriguez to running back Rashad Griffis. Rodriguez then capped off the drive with a 40-yard field goal, as he nailed it through the uprights, giving it a 3-0 lead with 9:25 left in the first quarter. Shortly after, Dysart (1-0) seized the momentum from the Roughriders. Following a Youngker punt by Rodriguez that put the Demons on the Youngker 48-yard line, Dysart got a 48-yard touchdown run from Medcalf. After a blocked PAT, the Demons were up 6-3 with 5:27 remaining in the first quarter. From there on out, Dysart continued to move the ball down the field with its bread and butter, the running game. After a Dysart fumble recovery would put the Demons in good field position starting at the Roughriders’ 37-yard line, Prettyman would eventually scamper into the end zone for a seven-yard touchdown with 2:40 left in the first quarter, making it 12-3 in favor of Dysart. The Demons finished with 379 total yards, 349 of those coming from their rushing attack. Their defense limited the Roughriders to 246 total yards. Youngker coach Kelly Epley said the game plan the Demons brought forth was a similar one from last year. “We knew we were going to see a 6-1 defense, a little bit of 5-2,” Epley said. “We knew what their offense was going to look like. They weren’t going to change much since they had success against us last year.” That defense had success once again, as it sacked Rodriguez three times and forced four turnovers, one of which was a pick-six from 18 yards out by Dysart linebacker Holden Holyoak. That made the score 19-3 with 6:49 left in the second quarter. The Demons would add another score off a 17-yard touchdown pass from Dysart quarterback Kobe Ganados to Medcalf, making it 26-3 with 2:52 left in the first half.

RASHAD GRIFFIS, 5, of Youngker rushes the ball Aug. 19 while being chased by Dysart’s Holden Holyoak. The Roughriders lost their season opener 39-17 to the Demons. 1:16 mark, the Roughriders weren’t able to capitalize off the turnover and the Demons led 26-3 at the half. “I felt like it was an energy boost, like we could’ve came back off that, but we didn’t do it,” Hemphill said. The turnovers were something Epley brought up to his team at halftime. “We were doing everything wrong we could do wrong,” Epley said. “We were making mistakes that I’ve never seen before, and we looked poorly coached.” The costly mistakes continued in the second half. Dysart took advantage of a roughing the punter flag, and on the next play, Medcalf would take it all the way to the house for a 47-yard touchdown run with 9:31 left in the third quarter, making Dysart’s lead 33-3. Following a strip-sack from Demons linebacker Mackinnley Halla, which was recovered by Dysart defensive lineman Raymond Cruz, the Demons would add on

another touchdown run by Prettyman from three yards out. With just over a minute left in the third quarter, Dysart led 39-3. Youngker would show some late life, as on its next drive, Roughriders running back Regis Niyonkuru ran 77 yards for their first touchdown of the game with 25 seconds left in the third quarter. “I tried to help get my team back up,” Niyonkuru said. “On offense, every time I get the handoff, I think about scoring.” After a failed two-point conversion, it was 39-9 Dysart. With 8:14 left in the game, Youngker would score again off a 43-yard touchdown pass from Rodriguez to wide receiver Parker Fleming. A pass from Rodriguez to Griffis would add on the two-point conversion, but that would be the end of any scoring for either team.

Struggling offense It was an up-and-down battle for

Rodriguez, as he finished the night completing eight of his 19 passes for 127 yards, one touchdown and two picks. “He had some good moments, and some bad moments,” Epley said. “He’s a tough kid; he’ll bounce back.” Rodriguez said he felt like the team was lacking trust and team chemistry, something he said it had during the offseason. Nonetheless, he knows his team will bounce back, he said. “It’s not the same team we had over the summer,” Rodriguez said. “We didn’t get the job done. I felt like the trust wasn’t there, the team chemistry wasn’t there, but eventually we’ll get it. We’ll improve, no doubt. I trust these guys, and we’ll improve no matter what.” Hemphill echoed Rodriguez’s sentiments. “We just got to believe in each other,” Hemphill said. “The next person to you, you just have to believe in them. That’s it.”

I like where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been the last two weeks. Since [the first week], theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve started to come with a sense of purpose. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting some results because of our hard work in practice.â&#x20AC;? Wilke said the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work ethic has been impressive, but needs to continue throughout the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They need to realize itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a long season here,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are still a heck of a lot of things that we need to get better at, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what this team needs to do. If this team can show up, work every day, be disciplined, be committed, play for the community and the school, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a lot of fun.â&#x20AC;? Tolleson was able to have some fun in its first action against an opponent. The Wolverines took it to Phoenix Sierra Linda in the teamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; scrimmage Aug. 17, dominating on both sides of the ball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One, we got out healthy, and two, we got a bunch of guys some reps and some guys made some plays,â&#x20AC;? Wilke said of the scrimmage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited to get a look at the film and dissect it a little more. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy with the effort. (See Lights on Page 16)

Wolverines set sights on region championship

Tolleson football ready for bright lights

EFRAIN ARECHIG, 5, of Westview makes a cut against the Basha defense Aug. 19 during the Knights’ season opener. Westview rushed for 461 yards in beating the Bears handily, 54-36.

Runs (From Page 12) with two more scores: a 27-yard run by quarterback Ryan Martinez and a 51-yard touchdown pass from Martinez to Vasko, to lead 28-7 at the break. Fireworks broke out in the third quarter, starting with Basha’s Desean Goodman. Goodman took the opening kickoff 90 yards for the Bears score, cutting Westview’s lead in half, 28-14. The teams exchanged a score each in the next 3:06, before Basha finally stopped Westview’s offense. Vasko

Lights (From Page 15) I think the kids communicated well. “The kids were having fun. We worked our tails off, so that was the most rewarding thing to see, the kids having fun. That’s what football is all about.

Lineup, expectation Tolleson still has a few starting positions ready for the taking.

fumbled the ball on a second-and-one rush attempt. Basha cut the lead to seven with 3:37 remaining thanks to a Kelley quarterback keeper from four yards out. That was as bad as it would get for Westview. The Knights outscored their opponent 18 to 7 in the final quarter on the way to the 18-point victory. “I’d love to sit here and take credit for the play calls, but it’s all those guys [players],” Gehrts said. Both teams racked up the penalties. Westview was flagged 15 times for 121 yards worth of infractions, while Basha was called for 13 penalties for 90 yards. The Knights missed both attempted extra point kicks on the night, one from a poor snap and another wide left. Westview opted to go for two on six of its touchdowns, converting three of them, all runs by Vasko.

“Obviously, there are aspects of the game we’ve got to get better at,” Gehrts said. Martinez finished 2 of 6 passing for 60 yards and a touchdown, and rushed for 52 yards and a score on four carries. Running back Orange Mooney gained 20 yards on four carries, and Efrain Arechiga carried the ball nine times for 74 yards and two touchdowns. Westview is off this week, and will take the field again Sept. 2 at Phoenix Brophy. “I’m excited with the new coaching staff,” Vasko said. “They have us very well prepped.”

“I told the guys it’s an exciting time to play here,” Wilke said. “We have a lot of spots up for grabs. We were able to play everyone who was eligible [in the scrimmage], and we’ll evaluate from that.” Wilke identified three players who have established themselves as leaders early in the season: center/ linebacker Martin Valenzuela Parra, receiver/defensive back Dallas Dixon and tight end/strong safety Kylon Hawkins. “They’ve done a good job here after that first week, and have taken on some leadership direction with our team,” Wilke said. Tolleson’s goal of winning the region would get it to the playoffs. The Wolverines’ last postseason action came in 2013, and they have not won a playoff game since 2006.

“The expectation is, and our goal is, to win our region, and obviously make the playoffs every year,” Wilke said. “We’re going to take it one game at a time.” The Wolverines begin their season at 7 p.m. Friday at home against Phoenix Sandra Day O’Connor. O’Connor lost its season opener Aug. 19 against Phoenix Mountain Pointe, 51-6. “Friday is when it counts,” Wilke said. “Sandra Day [O’Connor] is going to be a good opponent to get started with. We’re happy with where we’re at today, but we have a heck of a lot to build on.”

It was very apparent Verrado was playing its season opener Aug. 19. Yellow hankies all over the field told that story. Fortunately for the Vipers, they were able to shake off enough of the rust in order to win, and win big. Verradoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense created seven turnovers, including three pick-six, and the offense FOOTBALL scored at will. The result was a 68-6 thrashing of Phoenix Paradise Valley, last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Division III state runner up. Verrado coach Derek Wahlstrom said it was a prototypical first game of the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You come out and you have to anticipate youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have some issues with lining up right and making sure we have enough people on the field on special teams, false-start penalties, things like that,â&#x20AC;? Wahlstrom said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As much as you try to coach against that, everybody is excited, everybody is champing at the bit to go, so sometimes thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just going to be a natural thing.â&#x20AC;? Verrado amassed 110 penalty yards, all in the first half. Fortunately for the Vipers, it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cost them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream, you get a victory and get to coach them up on Saturday on film,â&#x20AC;? Wahlstrom said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited about getting better tomorrow.â&#x20AC;? The game didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start well for Verrado, as Paradise Valley converted a fourth-and-five from its own 25-yard line after it appeared as though the Trojans would go three-and-out on the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first possession. Instead, they ran a fake punt pass play that gained 12 yards and kept the drive alive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They audibled to it because we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cover the slot guy,â&#x20AC;? Wahlstrom said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our mistake and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s completely on me because I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t call timeout. We talked about if we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t line up correctly to call timeout, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sitting there not calling timeout. So thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Zero Week issues for Coach Wahlstrom.â&#x20AC;? Paradise Valley took advantage of its trickery and marched right down the field to score the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first touchdown. Quarterback Bric Hudnutt found Xavier Watkins on a 20-yard pass for the touchdown, making it 6-0. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was a wake-up call,â&#x20AC;? Verrado outside linebacker Jakob Alicea said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When that happened, everybody was surprised, we were mad, but we bounced back from it.â&#x20AC;? Verrado wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow another point the rest of the game, and the offense responded immediately. The Vipersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; false start and holding penalties put them in a first-and-long situation, but after chipping away at the down and distance, Elijah Johnson made a 19-yard catch on fourth down to keep the drive alive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was a great momentum shift for us,â&#x20AC;? Verrado running back Jaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;tai Jenkins said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eli is a great player, we knew he could make that catch no matter what the coverage was. It boosted our confidence once he got that, hyped the whole team up. We really needed that one.â&#x20AC;? Five plays later, Jenkins darted into the end zone from three yards away for his first of three touchdowns, making it 6-6. Verrado took the lead just seven seconds later, as Alicea got the first of his two pick-sixâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. He jumped a route and took the interception 25 yards to pay dirt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I read the quarterback; I saw it from a mile away,â&#x20AC;? Alicea said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That comes from the coaching staff, teaching us to see what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing. We watch a lot of film. I give a lot of credit to coach [Tom] Ward.â&#x20AC;?

Decision making Leading 13-6, Verrado scored on its next possession, converting another fourth down. Initially, the Vipers sent out the punt team, but only nine players made it

JAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;TAI JENKINS, 1, of Verrado jumps through the Paradise Valley defense Aug. 19 while extending his arm to fend off Patrick Long. Jenkins rushed for 116 yards and three touchdowns against the Trojans, as the Vipers cruised to a 68-6 victory in the season opener. on to the field. Wahlstrom was forced to call timeout, and changed his mind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The decision making was multiple years of experience on Coach Wardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part saying, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a big back, you might as well use him on fourthand-one and send a message,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Wahlstrom said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to hear it twice, we said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s give it to the big fellow.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? The big fellow is Dante Richardson. After picking up eight yards and a first down, Richardson scampered 55 yards on the next play for a touchdown, making it 19-6. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trying to break the mold that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a short down back,â&#x20AC;? Wahlstrom said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trying to set himself up as a guy who can put on a little juice, as well as a little jets.â&#x20AC;? Verrado made it 26-6 early in the second quarter on a Jenkins 40-yard TD run. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just saw white jerseys and then green grass, so I went for the green grass,â&#x20AC;? Jenkins said. From there, it was an onslaught. Verrado scored twice in the last two minutes of the first half, on a 45-yard Maverick Gamez pass to Marcus Rivera, and a 10-yard Jenkins run. In the second half, Verrado scored on a 10-yard Richardson TD run, another Alicea pick-six, a Zachary Jernigan seven-yard scoring run and another pick-six, this one from Isaac Olson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think at Verrado thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever happened,â&#x20AC;? Wahlstrom said of the three pick-sixâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Alicea], heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s normally our blitzer and guy who likes to hit

the quarterback, so I guess he decided to use the psychological game and take the ball to the end zone instead.â&#x20AC;? Verrado totaled 416 yards, while holding Paradise Valley to 90. The Trojans had just 15 yards of offense after the opening drive. Verradoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rushing leaders were Jenkins and Richardson, who had 116 and 77 yards, respectively. Gamez was 12 of 20 passing for 170 yards. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the cleanest of efforts, but considering it was only mid-August, Wahlstrom was pleased. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First game issues on offense, defense and special teams, but on all sides of the football, we played pretty well,â&#x20AC;? Wahlstrom said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played hard. We said if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to make mistakes, make them full speed, and we did.â&#x20AC;? Paradise Valley was playing with a depleted roster after eight athletes were kicked off the team for a hazing incident that happened during team camp in California last month. Still, Verrado was able to win and get out on the right foot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to build that momentum,â&#x20AC;? Wahlstrom said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to get that ball rolling, and now that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rolling, it can snowball for us.â&#x20AC;? Verrado travels to Phoenix Arcadia at 7 p.m. Friday. The Titans lost their opener 56-15 to Gilbert Williams Field.

Tigers adjusting to life under new coach Millennium football seeks to improve fortune in 2016 by Shane McOwen sports writer

For Millennium’s football team, intensity is the name of the game under new coach James Carter. “I would say it’s really been a test,” wide receiver Aidan Diggs said. “We’ve been pushing the limits in practice. The running and the conditioning, the coaches are making sure we’re on top of all that.” Carter brought a bit of FOOTBALL an old-school feel with him to Millennium from Peoria PREVIEW Sunrise Mountain, and you can’t blame him. Sunrise Mountain improved its record every year since Carter got there in 2010, including going 20-3 since the beginning of the 2014 season. “We’ve definitely gotten used to it,” Diggs said. “It will definitely help us throughout the season.” The Tigers won’t mind if Carter’s successful scheme follows him to Millennium. Sunrise Mountain averaged 59.6 points per game in last year’s regular season. Millennium averaged 18.8. “[The offense] is a lot more diverse, a lot more complex, but it’s for the better,” running back J.J. Gayles said. “The first couple of weeks were tough, but once you get it, it’s easy.” Running back Melo Johnson agreed with his backfield counterpart on the complexity of the offense. “It’s more advanced than last year,” Johnson said. “Last year, it was more simple. [On] 32 Blast, you go to the 32 hole, on a pitch or something like that. This time, [the plays have names] like Zulu North.” “The stuff that the coaches have put in, it will work,” wide receiver Cameron Taylor said. “We just need to come together as a team and do our jobs.”

Carter said the team looks good and has improved over summer workouts and the first weeks of official practice, but like most teams, still has areas in which it can improve. “We just have to get better at hustling to the ball,” Carter said. “We have to do a better job of that, [and]

ROSHAUN JOHNSON, 23, of Desert Edge runs toward the end zone Aug. 20 against Centennial after recovering a fumble. Johnson, who is being escorted downfield by teammates Dante Blissit, 45, and Dylan Scovil, scored the go-ahead touchdown on the play as the Scorpions went on to a 26-24 victory at Flagstaff’s Coconino High School.

Sting (From Page 12) first half, and we needed to,” Wellbrock said. “They had 33 plays; we had 14 plays in the first half. That doesn’t usually equal out to a positive.” Desert Edge went three-and-out on its first possession, but was fortunate to get the ball back from Centennial as the return was fumbled and recovered by Daniel Pullem. The teams then traded possessions, with the Scorpions getting the ball back on their own 38-yard line after Nassir Sims recovered a fumble. Just two plays later, Tehran Thomas went 56 yards for a touchdown, putting Desert Edge on top 7-3. “I can’t do it without them five [linemen] and everybody else that blocks for me, the receivers, the running backs,” Thomas said. “When my number was called, I just tried to make a play for my team. The O-line opened up the gap, I saw the hole and went for it.” Centennial responded with a long drive, scoring on a two-yard run from Taylor Fiame. The touchdown came with 19 seconds remaining in the second quarter, giving the Coyotes a 10-7 halftime lead. The second half didn’t start any better for Desert Edge, as it went three-and-out on its first drive of the third quarter. Following the punt, Centennial scored in just two plays, making it 17-7. However, Desert Edge wasn’t going to go away quietly. The Scorpions responded immediately, scoring in six

plays, capped by a Thomas 33-yard run on a read option, to make it 17-14. It was just the boost Desert Edge needed after a quiet first half. “The mentality was we had 24 minutes left to show we’re one of the top teams in the state, if not the top team in the state,” Thomas said. “That’s kind of the mentality when we came out in the second half, just we got to play our game, have to calm down. When we played our game, you see what happens.” Centennial then coughed up the lead late in the third quarter. Fiame fumbled the ball at the 23-yard line, and Roshaun Johnson picked it up and rumbled into the end zone for a touchdown and a 20-17 lead. “Dante [Blissit] wrapped him up and [Eric] Marsh ripped the ball out,” Johnson said. “It was spur of the moment, I picked it up and ran it back. It was all crazy.” “We weren’t playing great in the beginning, but we came out with the win. That’s all that really matters.” Desert Edge got fortunate early in the fourth quarter, as Thomas fumbled the ball at his own 37-yard line, but Centennial immediately fumbled the ball back to the Scorpions. Desert Edge went three-and-out on the ensuing possession, but the special teams unit came up with a big play. The punt bounced off the leg of a Centennial player and the Scorpions recovered. An 11-play drive, capped by a Blissit three-yard run, put the Scorpions ahead 26-17 with 3:55 remaining. The offense clicked better in the second half, providing the Scorpions with a spark. “We were definitely running the ball way better and moving the ball down the field way better,” Johnson said. “The score was low, but we came out with the W and it feels great.”

Centennial wound up scoring again, but the Coyotes ran out of time on their final possession, only getting one play off before time expired. It set off a euphoric celebration for Desert Edge. “It’s nice to be 1-0,” Wellbrock said. “It’s obviously a quality opponent … We’re probably going to get about three hours of a big smile, and we’re back to work as coaches tomorrow morning. We come back to work next week with a quality opponent in Notre Dame Prep.” Desert Edge totaled just 216 yards of offense in a performance Wellbrock characterized as sloppy. “That’s as sloppy as our offense has been in quite a while, and that will get taken care of,” Wellbrock said. “There’s some corrections that need to be made. Again, let’s give credit to Centennial as well, they made those flaws look pretty bad at times. We’ll get that corrected and go back to work Monday morning.” Thomas had 104 yards on 18 carries, while Rocky Perez had 76 yards on 18 carries. Marsh led the defense with 11 tackles, including two for a loss. He also forced a fumble. “They came out chirping at us a little bit in the second half, but we just stayed quiet and knew what we had to come out and do, and that’s exactly what we did,” Marsh said. “We shocked the state right now.” Desert Edge will host Notre Dame at 7 p.m. Friday. The Saints were a 35-14 winner against Surprise Shadow Ridge last week. Casey Pritchard can be reached at caseypritchard@westvalleyview.com or on Twitter @CaseyonSports.

Buckeye’s strength of schedule each of the past two seasons hasn’t done it any favors. The Hawks went 8-2 during the regular season in coach Kelley Moore’s first year, 2014, but all that got them was a No. 15 seed and an eventual first-round exit from the state playoffs. A season ago, FOOTBALL Buckeye was 7-3 and missed the postseason. PREVIEW This year, the Hawks have six playoff teams from last season on their schedule. It’s something Moore said he hopes will cement them into a good playoff position, if they’re able to be successful. “What we did was, the last two years, we played three playoff teams; this year, we scheduled six from last year,” Moore said. “We tried to double our strength, so we’re not 7-3 and don’t make the playoffs.” This year’s group will compete without much experience going into the season. There are 25 to 28 seniors, Moore said, but not many of them saw action on the field last year. Some of them weren’t even in the program in 2015. “This year, we had a lot of kids that haven’t played that came back to the program,” Moore said. Because of that, it made the summer schedule of passing league and big-man competitions extremely important. “We really needed it this year, and the kids responded really well,” Moore said. “The big guys were probably our highlight. They did a super job all summer. I’m really happy with them.” Buckeye won the big-man competition at the Universal Athletic tournament. “I feel confident [with the linemen], and it’s on them,” Moore said. “Until we gain some experience, make some mistakes and are able to recover, it’s on them.” Moore’s main concern before the start of the season is with the skill positions, he said. “Defensively, we don’t have one skill kid that started last year,” Moore said. “How are they going to react? It’s a long season, they’ll get better, I’m really not too worried about it. They’re working hard.” Since experience is a big factor heading into the season, Moore will concentrate on the smaller things at the beginning of the year, he said. “We’re going to be simpler, not do all the stuff we have done,” Moore said. “We’re going to be simpler to try to help promote some of the success that we’ve had. We don’t want to overload the guys. We’ve got to be smart as coaches, what we can do, versus what we should do.” Buckeye’s offensive line will be led by Angel Gordillo, Travis Greene and Ethan Allen. Allen said he’s very excited about the season because there’s a lot of potential on the team. “We won a lot of big-man over the summer, and last week, we put in a lot of work, and just by looking at that, I think we’re going to have a solid offensive line,” Allen said. Three-year starting quarterback Art Bojorquez graduated, opening up a spot. Joseph Perez is slated as the No. 1 guy, but he’ll get some competition from Albert Buelna. “He [Buelna] started the first half of La Joya when I had suspended some kids [last year],” Moore said. “We were down three quarterbacks that week. We pulled him up as a JV player. He did a great job.” Buelna went 2 for 3 for 35 yards and two touchdowns in his lone appearance last year. Perez saw action in eight games, completing 16 of 33 passes for 191 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions. Getting Perez experience last year was critical, Moore said. “Toward the end of the season, in certain situations, we’d put him in no matter what,” Moore said. “We just had to for the sake of experience.”

Competition building Buelna is pushing Perez at quarterback, and that isn’t the only position where competition is taking place. Moore said competition is a strength of the team because the athletes are not afraid of it. “We compete,” Moore said. “We want to sharpen each other and get better as we go. Nobody is backing off because, ‘Oh, that guy’s a senior.’ We don’t have that. We’re going to force the competition.” Buckeye doesn’t have an experienced running back returning this year. Six different players are in the mix to be the starter right now, but none of them was in the program last year, Moore said. Jaiden Segundo has the best chance to be the top back. He didn’t play last year as a sophomore, but was in the program his freshman season.

“We’re glad to have him back,” Moore said. “He’s a slasher. If he was 200 pounds, he’d be great. He’s 140, but he runs like that, he has that kind of toughness.” Darzel Smith, a transfer from Texas, is another candidate for running back, as is Javon Sheron. Sheron had 13 carries last year, but also made 21 catches. He’ll most likely start on defense as a safety for the Hawks, Moore said. Gilbert Buelna also had some carries and caught a handful of passes for the Hawks in 2015, but he’s another guy who will likely see a majority of action on the defensive side. Overall, there are a lot of question marks. “We think we know, but do we really?” Moore said. “The biggest question mark of the offseason is where guys will fill in.” Jacob Jefferson will split time between tight end and defensive line, while Brandon Betancourt could make a significant impact at tight end. He’s this year’s biggest surprise, Moore said. “He hasn’t played a whole bunch, but he’s a worker and has made himself into a football player, so we’re going to give him a shot to be one,” Moore said. Defensively, Sam Dudko returns as a middle linebacker. He had 49 tackles in eight games last year. “He’s the guy that’s got to run the thing,” Moore said. “He’s the centerpiece.” Dudko said the chemistry of the team, especially on defense, has been really good. “We’ve come a lot farther than last season, especially personnel wise, and attitude is a lot better than last year,” Dudko said. “We’re a lot closer. Last year, we were separated more, but this year, we all bond.” Jamen Pantoja, Gilbert Buelna and Chance Benn are also part of the linebacking corps, while Smith, Jose Ortiz and Josh Sanchez are all working at the cornerback position. Moore wants to play 22 different people at the start of the game so they don’t wear down. “The goal is not to [play guys two ways] because when you get to teams like [Scottsdale] Saguaro, [Tempe] Marcos [de Niza], Desert Edge, Verrado, those guys don’t,” Moore said. “So it looks like a great game for a half, then the third quarter shows up and the steam starts to go out of the bubble, and theirs doesn’t. We do the best we can to do at least 22 starters, so we’re two deep everywhere.” Buckeye will compete in the Southwest Region of 4A, facing Yuma and Yuma Gila Ridge, in addition to district sister schools Estrella Foothills and Youngker.

Moore’s expectations are to make the playoffs, and he realizes if his team can get there, and do so healthy, anything can happen, he said. “These guys have great chemistry, they’re together,” Moore said. “They compete against each other, they’re not always happy with each other, but they have good chemistry, and that’s going to produce some good stuff for us.” Buckeye opens at 7 p.m. Friday, hosting Peoria Sunrise Mountain. “We’re going to find out [how good we are] early,” Moore said. “If Sunrise smashes us in the mouth, then we’ll know where we’ve got to go.

Phoenix hope to rise again with new coach Dustin Johnson looks to lead Tonopah Valley to another successful season by Rafael Alvarez special to the View

When Tonopah Valley last took the field, it had just been eliminated by Miami in the first round of the 2015 Division V state playoffs. Despite the loss, the Phoenix finished with a school best 9-2 record. Now, with former Phoenix defensive coordinator Dustin Johnson FOOTBALL taking over head coaching duties after Nick Gehrts’ PREVIEW departure to Westview, Johnson is excited for the opportunity. “The support and excitement I have had being the head football coach out here at Tonopah Valley has been outstanding,” Johnson said. While last season featured the football program’s best record it’s ever had, it doesn’t add more pressure for Johnson. Nonetheless, the pressure still exists. “I feel like there’s pressure whether we went 14-0, or 0-10,” Johnson said. “We want what is best for our boys, and we focus more on the daily duties as a student athlete and being good citizens, while working hard in the process.” If Johnson is to lead the team to another successful season, he will have to do it without Michael Carter, Colt Thompson, Jerry Aguilar and last year’s section Defensive Player of the Year and team leading rusher, Arturo Tapia, who have all graduated. Last year, Tapia ran for 1,591 yards on 187 carries and 11 touchdowns. On the defensive side, Tapia had 131 total tackles, seven of which were for a loss. With Tapia gone, Johnson will look to a pair of young running backs to keep the running game going. “We have a couple sophomores that have been sharing reps,” Johnson said. “Shad Sayer and Angelo Anderson have been running very hard.” Both players saw some playing time at running back as freshmen, despite Tapia getting a majority of the carries. As freshmen, Anderson had 18 carries for 157 yards and a touchdown, while Sayer had seven carries for 26 yards and a touchdown. A crucial component of a top-notch running game is its offensive line, which has improved tremendously, according to Johnson. “We had some key athletes get much bigger, stronger and faster, and [have] made the move to offensive line and made our line really athletic,” Johnson said. The linemen Johnson noted were juniors Jess Pennington and Christian Brown, as well as senior Joseph Brown. “Jess played it last year, but did so at 150 pounds. He’s worked hard and is pushing 190,” Johnson said. “The others either played running back or tight end. They are athletes.” The transition between positions has not been too difficult for the players, Johnson said. “They love to hit, so all it took was some fine tuning,” Johnson said. “They have loved playing up front.” Pennington, who plays middle linebacker on the defensive side, hopes to fill the void Tapia left, as Pennington was the second leading tackler last year with 118 tackles, four of them being for a loss. Other key returnees include Sebastian Young, Eddie Knight, quarterback Chris Davis and Laron Major, who was the second-leading receiver behind Thompson. As a junior, Major had 27 receptions for 382 yards and five touchdowns, to go along with one rushing touchdown. Davis threw for 1,034 yards and 13 touchdowns as a sophomore. Davis, being the young quarterback that he still is, has continued to evolve his game in the offseason as well. “His attitude toward the game has changed and I think it comes a lot from Coach [Kody] Karjala,” Johnson said.

CHRIS DAVIS of Tonopah Valley runs with the football last season against Arizona Lutheran. Davis returns as the Phoenix starting quarterback after throwing for 1,034 yards and 13 touchdowns as a sophomore. “He cares about the little things. Everything from his cadence, to his footwork; he has bought in 100 percent.” Overall, Johnson said that both the offensive and defensive units have looked good in the offseason. “Both are meshing very well,” Johnson said. “We always want to be better, but the mesh with them has been great.” Heading into the regular season, Johnson and the rest of the coaching staff have been telling their players to love one another, give that perfect effort and take it one play at a time, and the players are trusting the process. “Our boys have bought into what we are doing,” Johnson said. “Our attitude has exceeded our expectations.” Just like any other team, Tonopah Valley knows every game is important, and that every opponent is going to give its all. “Morenci will be a great indicator for us,” Johnson said. “They will be tough and well-coached. Glendale Prep had success in eight-man, so we’re excited to see them … Parker will give us a great test … Paradise Honors will be our toughest region opponent.” The regular season is a long one, which is why the expectations Johnson has for his team are simple. “We just want to go 1-0 every game and come together as a team,” Johnson said. “If they can say that they learned to be good people when they leave here, then we have gone 14-0. Wins will come to those that deserve them.” Tonopah opens the season at 7 p.m. Friday, hosting Morenci.

LIFEGUARD BROOKLYN PRICE protects her eyes from the sun by wearing sunglasses and sitting under an umbrella as she watches over swimmers July 18 at the Litchfield Park Recreation Center pool.

Hard on the eyes Savage sun takes toll on people’s peepers, doctors declare by Kourtney Balsan special to the View

Living in Arizona, we often forget the damage the sun can cause to our eyes. Almost every day is sunny, making it difficult to remember there is any other type of weather. Our eyes can fall victim to the harsh sun, just like our skin can. Forgetting to take part in basic eye care can leave eyes vulnerable to developing severe problems, said Dr. Stephen Martin of West Valley Vision Center in Goodyear. Ultraviolet light radiates from the sun and can seep into unprotected eyes, Martin said, adding that UVA rays pass through the cornea reaching the lens and retina. That can cause an array of problems such as cataracts, sun damage (pinguecula, pterygiums), solar keratopathy or sunburn, photophobia (extreme light sensitivity) and an increased risk of skin cancers, Martin said. Strong exposure to the reflection of snow can also damage eyes causing snow blinding, but that scenario is highly unlikely living in the Valley, he said. Diseases such as cataracts and cancer build over time in over-exposed eyes, and are more commonly diagnosed later in life, Martin said. We all know we should never look directly into the sun, but other tips are

available to prevent serious damage. Limited time in the sun is always ideal and Omega 3 supplements should be taken daily, Martin said. Hats are helpful and sunglasses should be worn every day, especially during the summertime, he said, adding that if you are a contact lens wearer, UV protection (not only in glasses but in contacts, too) will help protect your eyes, but a good pair of sunglasses in addition to contacts or glasses is crucial. Not all sunglasses are made equally, either. UV protected sunglasses are a good start, but polarized lenses are superior in most cases and help people drive more safely by eliminating glare and protecting against light sensitivity, Martin said. One tip often forgotten is to use eye drops, Martin said. He stressed that they are essential to eye health and should be used daily. “On average, we recommend four drops a day and most patients remember one or two,” Martin said. The majority of sun issues start at a young age, so a child’s eyes should be properly protected, even more so than an adult’s, whenever outside, Martin said. “Kids are more prone to the effects of the sun because they are less likely to complain about it and are less likely to have adequate sunglasses,” he said. “Parents have a hard time either remembering or helping their kids hold on to glasses, so this can be a particularly difficult issue, but is extremely important.” Kourtney Balsan can be reached at Kbalsan@westvalleyview.com.
