HOBO JOE IS MOVED from Main Street and Apache Road in Buckeye July 27 to an undisclosed location where he awaits some fiberglass repair and fresh paint. The 23-foottall statue was purchased from the Gillum family by the Buckeye Main Street Coalition, which has plans to donate it to the city after refurbishing it.

After acting as king of the road in the West Valley for decades, Buckeye’s iconic Hobo Joe statue has gone into hiding — and no one knows when or where the big guy will make his next appearance. In July, the statue was removed from its perch in a dusty parking lot in front of a meat packing plant at East Monroe Avenue and North Apache Road. Hobo Joe was moved after the statue was purchased by the Main Street Coalition, according to Tammy Noble, a member of the organization. Ever since the statue disappeared, people have wondered what happened to it, Noble said. “People from all over Buckeye are asking where it went,” she said. Hobo Joe apparently hasn’t jumped a box car or been run out of town, but Noble declined to reveal where the statue has been taken. “He’s in a secure location,” she said. The secrecy isn’t out of concern of vandalism or theft — the statue weighs a ton — but to keep the lore surrounding the statue alive, Noble said. Noble said the coalition developed a plan for the statue five years ago, and acted to purchase it fearing it might be lost after the land where it stood was recently sold. The coalition is scheduled to discuss the vagabond’s future with the Buckeye City Council in January, she said. The city’s public information officer, Bob Bushner, said the city can’t address the topic until plans have been submitted, which he said hasn’t happened yet. Roy Dean, who operates Arid State Enterprises, a Buckeye-based company that specializes in relocating structures, said he led a four-man crew that moved Hobo Joe on July 27.

“It was an honor to be the one that moved him,” said Dean, a lifelong Buckeye resident who said he’s fond of the statue. A crane was used to lift the top of the statue as its feet were cut from its pedestal, then transferred onto a flatbed, where it was placed at an angle that made it a legal load during transport, Dean said. The operation took about four hours, with another three hours for transporting the statue and moving it into storage, he said. Dean said the fiberglass statue built over a steel interior frame is strong but fragile, which caused concern that it could crack or break during the move. “He’s in good shape, other than he needs some paint,” he said. “He’s faded out.”

A 5-year-old Avondale boy identified as Savier Jones died Sept. 28 after he accidentally shot himself with a gun at his family’s home, police said. Officers responded at about 9:25 a.m. to an apartment complex near Dysart Road and Harrison Street in Avondale, and found the boy with a gunshot wound to the head, said Officer Ray Emmett, a spokesman with the Avondale Police Department. Police attempted life-saving measures until firefighters arrived, and Savier was transported to Abrazo West Campus in Goodyear, where he later died, Emmett said. Savier was at home with his mother and two siblings when he found a gun in a bedroom, Emmett said. His mother reportedly heard a bang and found the boy alone in the room with a gunshot wound, Emmett said. The 9 mm semi-automatic handgun belongs to Savier’s father, who was not at home when the shooting occurred, Emmett said. No charges are pending at this time, and the case is still under investigation, he said.

Nonprofit looks for missing boy AZ Extreme Terrain Search & Rescue searches for Buckeye 10-year-old by Emily Toepfer

Restoration plan

assistant editor

Hobo Joe may be a man of means by no means, but the Main Street Coalition’s project to clean up and relocate the statue will take some funds. Purchasing and moving the statue cost the coalition $7,000, part of a project expected to total $30,000, Noble said. The makeover will include some fiberglass work, repainting the statue and setting it on a new base, she said. Laura Serben, a member of the Main Street Coalition board, said the group plans a “firstclass restoration” of Hobo Joe. “We will get it right. That’s the important thing,” she said. The statue hasn’t been painted since the 1980s and has weathered over the years with exposure to the Arizona sun, Serben said. Dean said Hobo Joe is stored in a tight space, so he expects to get a call to move it again to a place with room to do the

A nonprofit group looking to provide closure for the family of Jesse Wilson set out over three days last weekend to search for the 10-yearold Buckeye boy. Jesse has been missing for more than 11 weeks. He was last seen sleeping in his bed at 9:30 p.m. July 17 near Watson and Yuma roads in Buckeye. When his mother went to check on him four hours later, Jesse was gone. The boy has a history Jesse Wilson of leaving home in the middle of the night to wander the neighborhood, but usually returned by morning, his mother, Crystal Wilson, told police. In the past three months, Buckeye police, along with multiple other law enforcement agencies and community volunteers, have (See Missing on Page 4)

Goodyear man sentenced to 6 months for dog killing by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

A Goodyear man was sentenced Sept. 29 to six months in jail and three years of supervised probation for killing his family’s poodle in May, according to Maricopa County Superior Court officials. Patrick Thompson, 43, is also now prohibited from owning animals, Judge Brad Astrowsky ruled. The sentencing was part of a plea deal after Thompson pleaded guilty to one count of assault and one count of cruelty to animals. Police responded to his family’s home May 14 near 161st Lane and Mohave Street in Goodyear, where they found Thompson lying on the sidewalk, records state. As police detained him, Thompson started to make erratic comments that he “had to do it for God,” and “the devil made him do it.” He also told police that he put the dog in the smoker, records state. Police later learned that when Thompson returned home that day, he became upset with a shirt his teenage daughter was wearing, which he believed had to do with the devil, records state. He made her take off the shirt and take it to a large barbecue on the side of the house, where he burned it, records state. Thompson then went back into the house, where he started acting erratic and told his family, including four minor children, that he had to make a sacrifice of a male, records state.

According to the victims, he stated he needed to sacrifice either himself, his 6-year-old son or the family dog, a small white poodle, records state. As the family attempted to leave the house, Thompson grabbed the dog and the family pleaded with him to stop. He agreed not to harm the dog, but then broke its neck in front of them, records state. The family was able to escape and call police, records state. When officers arrived, they found the dog Patrick dead on the large Thompson industrial-sized smoker, which was still on and had an open flame inside of it, records state. Thompson told police he had smoked marijuana earlier in the day and began having an “episode,” records state. He also said he had a vision that something bad was going to happen to his family and that the lord was going to kill him for what he had done, records state.

Masked teenagers arrested in connection to armed robberies by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

Two teens were arrested last week in connection to multiple armed robberies in September at fast food restaurants in west Phoenix, officials said. The latest robberies occurred at about 8 p.m. Sept. 27 at a Taco Bell, 9800 W. Lower Buckeye Road in Phoenix, and a Domino’s, 7700 W. Lower Buckeye Road in Phoenix. The 17-year-old boys, who weren’t named by police because they’re juveniles, wore masks and fired a shot from a handgun during the robberies, police said. The primary suspect in the robberies was arrested Sept. 28 during a traffic stop and was found to be in possession of

evidence from the robberies, police said. The teen is also being charged with an armed robbery on Sept. 22 at a Domino’s while wearing a black and red luchador wrestling mask, along with the two armed robberies on Sept. 27, police said. Further investigation led police to the identification and arrest of the second suspect, who was the getaway driver, police said. The teen is being charged with an armed robbery Sept. 13 at a Taco Bell near 3500 W. Van Buren St. in Phoenix while wearing a bandana with a skull printed on it, as well as being the driver on Sept. 27, police said. The teens are also being looked at for possible involvement in additional armed robberies, police said.

Wrong-way driver hits motorcycle Sunday on Loop 303 by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

A wrong-way driver hit a motorcycle Sunday night on Loop 303 near Bethany Home Road in Waddell, officials said. The Arizona Department of Public Safety received multiple 911 calls at about 7 p.m. reporting a car traveling northbound in the southbound lanes, said Quentin Mehr, a spokesman for DPS. Less than a minute later, one of the 911 callers reported the accident, Mehr said. The investigation determined the car struck the motorcycle with a glancing

blow, causing the rider to lose control and tumble along Loop 303, he said. The motorcyclist, a woman in her 30s, was transported to Abrazo West Campus in Goodyear with non-life-threatening injuries. She was wearing a helmet and a protective motorcycle jacket, Mehr said. The wrong-way driver, a man in his 20s, sustained minor cuts from shattered glass during the impact, he said. It was determined that he lapsed into a physiological episode that caused disorientation, leading to the wrong-way incident. He will receive a civil citation, Mehr said.

Hobo history

restoration work. A campaign to raise funds for the work won’t start until after the coalition gets an idea from the city about where Hobo Joe could eventually be put on display, Noble said. Placed in the right spot, Hobo Joe could be an “economic driver” for the area, she said. Noble said she doesn’t know where Hobo Joe could end up. Speculation around town includes a park, a museum or the city’s aquatic center. Serben said she hopes the statue is placed in Buckeye’s historic downtown. Saving Hobo Joe fits with the mission that the Main Street Coalition states on its website of being part of an effort to enhance and preserve downtown Buckeye. The organization was interested in the statue “because it’s kind of historical,” Noble said. And Hobo Joe is popular, judging by reaction to a social media posting the coalition made after the statue was moved, which Noble said got 8,000 hits. “It’s been there a long time. A lot of people in the city have grown up with it,” she said. Hobo Joe has also been something of a tourist

If Buckeye’s Hobo Joe’s future is a mystery, well, so is the statue’s past. It’s been around so long that it’s difficult to find people who can speak with authority about the statue’s history, but some insights come from the tourist websites. “Just like anything iconic, there are real stories and made-up stories,” Noble said. Even the statue’s height is the subject of tall tales placing it from 25 to 36 feet high. Serben said it stands at 23 feet. She said artifacts acquired by the Main Street Coalition with the statue’s purchase don’t answer all the questions about Hobo Joe. Hobos are known for picking up jobs between riding the rails and have been the subject of songs and Halloween costumes, but Hobo Joe’s roots are based in the restaurant business. The story goes that a chain of diners called Hobo Joe’s opened in the 1960s in the Southwest and the restaurant’s owners developed the character by the same name as a mascot. Hobo Joe, who wears a rope belt around a waist that looks like he’s never missed a meal or turned down a handout, was billed as a “world traveler, philosopher and connoisseur of good food.”

Striking a jaunty stance, Hobo Joe’s glad rags include a hat, bandana, boutonniere, jacket stuffed with a newspaper and tattered shoes. His laid-back nature was depicted in different poses on coffee mugs, matchbooks and postcards that were available at the restaurants, Serben said. Dean said he admires the statue’s detail. “The man who built him did an awesome job of portraying a hobo,” he said. “You look at him close and it’s really impressive.” Sculptor Jim Casey, who had previously worked for Disney and had a studio in California, modeled the statue’s image from clay, according to information on the Main Street Coalition’s website provided by Casey’s son, Kevin. The statues were produced in three sizes: a small one cast in plaster that was sold as a souvenir at the restaurants’ cash registers, a life-sized statue that was placed in front of the restaurants and the roadside version. Depictions of some of the smaller statues show Hobo Joe holding a stogie and carrying a bindle stick, but if those details were ever part of the local statue, they were gone by the time it was erected in Buckeye. Serben said photos from the time don’t show the appendages. According to Kevin Casey’s account, a jumbo statue was made in 1967 in Scottsdale. Some reports indicate that as many as three of the large statues might have been made. A large Hobo Joe stood in front of a Phoenix restaurant before the statue was damaged by fire, according to several accounts. Some stories say one was also in Las Vegas.

Buckeye’s statue Even though a Hobo Joe’s restaurant was never in the West Valley, a Hobo Joe statue found a home here. Buckeye’s Hobo Joe apparently never was erected for the restaurant chain, perhaps because it was never paid for as the business hit hard times and served its last Hoboburger. The statue was reportedly retained by Marvin Ransdell, who had a fiberglass pool operation in Phoenix, after he fabricated the statue. Ransdell is said to have installed the statue on the roof of his business, which was forced to close because of financial troubles. According to another account, the statue was kept in Ransdell’s yard in Phoenix until the city made him move it. Ransdell reportedly asked his friends, Ramon and Helen Gillum, to store the statue and other equipment next to their slaughterhouse in Buckeye. When Ransdell died in 1988, the statue was willed to Ramon Gillum, who one report says asked the city to place it in downtown Buckeye, a suggestion that didn’t go over well among some officials at the time. Dean said he remembered some controversy about the issue among people who didn’t want a hobo as the city’s symbol. But Dean suggested Hobo Joe shouldn’t be thought of as a bum. “He’s a work of art. He has a lot of character,” Dean said. “For us country people, we enjoyed him.” Serben indicated the issue also may have involved the city’s height limits for signs, and whether the statue was classified as a sign. In 1989, Gillum put Hobo Joe in front of his business, which is now West Valley Processing. As a tribute to his friend, Gillum installed a plaque at Hobo Joe’s feet dedicating the statue to Ransdell. Gillum has since died and the Main Street Coalition purchased the statue from his heirs. Dean said he’s hopeful Hobo Joe will stand again, but he remembered that in 2008, his company moved Buckeye’s historic Benson/Raney House, which deteriorated before it could be restored. He doesn’t want Hobo Joe to meet a similar fate. “I have high hopes the city of Buckeye will allow him to go back up,” Dean said. “It’s part of our cultural heritage.”

Missing (From Page 1) scoured the area looking for the boy without success. At the request of Jesse’s biological grandmother, AZ Extreme Terrain Search & Rescue performed a search Sept. 30 through Sunday in Buckeye, said Fred Niehans, owner of the nonprofit. The group, which was founded in 2015, is made up of certified volunteers who offer up their time and money to perform searches. “Sometimes, you need to give back to your community,” Niehans said. “Even though we normally do search and rescues, the odds are after three months, we were looking for a body.” About a dozen volunteers spent the afternoon Sept. 30 and all day Oct. 1 and Sunday searching areas in Buckeye that hadn’t been covered, Niehans said. “We didn’t find anything, but it was a very big area,” he said. “I wasn’t even able to cover a third of what we were hoping for.” Their efforts were cut short at 11 p.m. Oct. 1 because the park used as a base camp had to lock its gates, and at around 8:30 p.m. Sunday because of gunfire in the area, Niehans said. “We were very frustrated to not be able to complete some of the areas we were really hoping to cover,” a post on the group’s Facebook page stated Monday. “I just hope that with the efforts that were made that the family understands that we did all we could do, but at the same time we needed to keep our team safe as well.” 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.

Buckeye’s Verrado community holds 3rd annual youth triathlon by Kourtney Balsan special to the View

Swim. Bike. Run. The third annual Verrado Youth Triathlon held Sept. 17 in Buckeye had 85 youths ages 4 to 14 racing to the finish line. The triathlon was created for the sake of health and community involvement, said Jeffrey Gill, one of three founders of the event, and a sponsor through Gill Law Firm. “[I created the] triathlon because one, I love the sport and have experience in the sport, and two it has a high probability of getting kids to be involved in the sport, because it is three sports in one,” Gill said. Many of the participants attend Verrado Heritage Elementary and participate in Verrado’s Vitras Swim Club, which sponsored the event, said Shelly Hornback, coordinator of community information and partnerships with the Litchfield Elementary School District. “We are proud of our students and their supportive parents for their commitment to healthy choices and to our strong community,” Hornback said. “Athletics are an important avenue for young people to strengthen their minds and bodies. The Verrado Youth Triathlon is an outstanding opportunity for kids to gain confidence, demonstrate leadership and enjoy safe, structured fun.” The proceeds of the triathlon go directly to the schools. The Litchfield district has been able to buy new equipment from the proceeds of events such as the triathlon, Hornback said. “In these times of extreme budget cuts, we rely on community support to maintain excellence in education,” Hornback said. “We are grateful for the support of Vitras Swim Club and congratulate all of the young athletes whose courage and determination led them to success in the race.” With sedentary lifestyles becoming the norm and childhood obesity on the rise,

BODE SCHWARTZ, 5, of Litchfield Park secures his helmet for the bicycle portion of the third annual Youth Triathlon Sept. 17 in the Verrado community in Buckeye. the Verrado Youth Triathlon is geared toward bringing that rate down, Gill said. “Childhood obesity is an epidemic today,” he said. “Statistics show it is going to get exponentially worse.” More than half of all parents are obese and are instilling poor habits in their children whether they realize it or not, Gill said, adding the Youth Triathlon allows him to intervene and hopefully change children’s outlooks. Although parents may live an unhealthy lifestyle, the best thing they can do is help their children get exposed to fitness and health, Gill said. “I’ve had parents come up to me and say, ‘I’m not equipped to do this, I can’t help my kid. That is why I am bringing

them to you.’” he said. “I take coaching very seriously. I told the kids, ‘Hey, I want you to thank all your parents because they gave up part of their time to bring you out here,’ and one of the guys said, ‘Yeah, especially on football Sunday.’” Gill held three clinics to help train and prepare the youths for the race. Although the race’s difficulty was separated by age group, practice was still needed to guarantee success, Gill said. “In the clinics, I teach the kids nutrition. I teach them about self esteem, confidence and changing their habits and mindset, and try to get them exposed to the opportunity for an active lifestyle,” he said. The clinics helped the youths practice pacing, dynamic stretching, nutrition and

healthy habits, along with a much harder version of the triathlon, Gill said. Kaden Horn, 12, of Buckeye placed third overall in the triathlon, and said the clinics helped her learn the technique of pacing, which is valuable during a lengthy race. “We did triathlon clinics every other Sunday, we biked on mountains, we swam laps in pools, we ran as well,” Kaden said. “I learned how to pace myself really good. If I ever do other races, I know how to pace myself now. We had a lot of volunteers who helped us do that.” Since Kaden is a competitive swimmer, she found herself loving the swim portion of the race and plans to participate again in the future, she said. “It was really fun to do this with my teammates and the community in Verrado,” Kaden said. The triathlon was full of winners, some beyond the trophy. Maia Thompson, 14, of Buckeye, completed her first triathlon after having a liver transplant because she has Wilson’s disease. She spent September 2015 in the hospital. This year, she spent it celebrating with the Verrado Youth Triathlon. “Focus on today and how you can do your best to live it to the fullest,” Maia said. “There is always an end to bad things. It’s not going to last forever.” The Verrado Youth Triathlon was more than a race; it showed youths what is made possible when they work hard, Gill said. “The majority of the time, we say, ‘I can’t,’ when in realty, we don’t know if we can or not,” he said. “So we walk them through this, especially when they’re intimidated, they realize on their own and internally that they can do it, and hopefully they can internalize that there’s nothing they cannot do and just try, try, try.” Kourtney Balsan can be reached at Kbalsan@westvalleyview.com.

OUR VIEWPOINT

JONES’ OPINION — El Nuevo Dia, Puerto Rico

EDITORIAL

Why we aren’t endorsing Donald Trump The West Valley View has been doing political endorsements for nearly its entire 30-year lifetime. The newspaper has endorsed in city elections each cycle and from time to time in county, state and even federal races. The newspaper has endorsed based on experience, knowledge, a clear understanding of the issues facing the position and the ability to reason and identify root causes of those issues along with solutions. Time and again, the newspaper has elected not to endorse those without a background of public service that would indicate a commitment to the position and the humility to understand the need to learn about the position before jumping in. Candidates for mayor who have not served on city council are hardly ever endorsed. Nor are candidates for council who have not served on a commission or board in that city. And in the case of city council elections, the newspaper is particularly fond of candidates who have served on their city’s planning and zoning commission. That commission deals with complex issues, issues that are foreign to most people. After a term on P&Z, a candidate has a much stronger understanding of issues facing the city. In the same way that a person is required to work his way up the ladder in the working world, we think candidates for office, and especially higher office, need to work their way up the ladder, gaining understanding of the issues and the way they are solved in an organization or governmental entity. If you have never quarterbacked even a high school football team, chances are you will not be given the chance to quarterback the Super Bowl champions. You need to learn the language of the team, learn the plays and the players. After you get all that down, then you have a chance to actually compete for the job. And that’s where we get to Donald Trump. He hasn’t served in Congress, he hasn’t served in the president’s cabinet, he hasn’t been a judge (a real judge, not a television judge), he hasn’t held state office or municipal office and probably hasn’t even been a high school student body president. We can’t find any evidence he has run for any office, been elected to any office or served in any capacity in any level of government. And yet he wants to start at the top, running for president of the United States. We don’t trust his ability to learn so much so quickly to be able to run the country effectively. Now we aren’t fans of Hillary Clinton, either. Mrs. Clinton is second only to Donald Trump when it comes to having the most baggage of anyone running for president in the last 100 years. But she does have the credentials to validate her as a presidential candidate. She graduated with honors from Yale Law School. She was a U.S. senator from New York and U.S. secretary of state. Given the lack of an even marginally qualified alternative, we suggest a vote for her. Had the Republican Party nominated nearly any other candidate, we probably would have endorsed that person. It is a sad state of affairs when it is nearly impossible to choose a candidate to vote for instead of having to weigh which to vote against — the lesser of two evils or as Mort Sahl described it, the eviler of two lessers. Yet here we are again.

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

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

Editor’s note: The West Valley View will not run any Letters to the Editor criticizing candidates in the Nov. 2 issue because it is the last issue before the general election on Nov. 8 and candidates would not have a chance to defend themselves.

Make America great again Editor: Our nation is polarized . It is no longer liberal Democrats against Conservative Republicans, where everyone was an American and put their country ahead of their party. In recent years we have evolved. Or should I say devolved ? Today it is a battle for the soul of our nation between the Traditionalists who want to preserve our republic, and protect the Constitution, against the Progressives , who want to impose a Socialist government and totally undermined and destroy the Constitution. Traditionalists believe in limited government because they

trust the people to manage their own lives. Progressives believe that the people are generally stupid, and need big government to made decisions for them. These elitist Progressives do not care about illegals pouring across our border, because they are big advocates for open borders. Do not blame our polarized nation on Traditionalists . It is not our fault, because our Constitution, as written by the founders is a document about limited government. It is the politically correct Progressives, with their distorted world view, who are the traitors destroying our country ! They are the ones not defending and protecting our Constitution, because their big government agenda means they must subvert, and totally destroy our republic, if they are to successfully impose their totalitarian government. When you go to the voting booth in November , before you vote, please think about your family and remember that Hillary Clinton is a Progressive . With Hillary, as with all Progressives , reality is optional . Colon Powell said she screws up everything she touched with hubris ! Hopefully, the God of creation, upon whom our nation was founded, will one more time look upon us with compassion , bless us and make us great again ! Roy Azzarello Goodyear

Darkness takes toll on Hillary Editor: I believe when Hillary Clinton called us a “Basket of Deplorable!” the shock of such a statement gave her a real glimpse of what she’s become over these past years. The insatiable greed for money and power and the powerful sycophants surrounding her and her husband. Viewing television on 9/11 I caught sight of Hillary just as she stumbled and being held up by her guards, losing a shoe and being escorted to her car, brought back to my memory of her appearance the morning after the events of Benghazi. I recalled, her plodding behind Mr. President to the forum outside the white house to announce the carnage and murders of Ambassador Steven’s was incited by some illusive video and not by Jihadist. She Hillary, instead of an alert Secretary of State, who we assumed would be on fire and sorrowful over the events that tragically ended the life of her friend Ambassador Steven, would denounce such nonsense the President spouted but she instead agreed with him and seemed to be a woman coming off an alcoholic binge or medical shock of sorts. She was sluggish (See Letters on Page 7)

(From Page 6) and later we heard she fell conveniently postponing all Benghazi queries for some time. Since then she has managed to keep herself aloof of the public until her campaigning and the incident at the 9/11 ceremony. Could it be all this sick darkness in her life has finally taken its toll? You reap what you have sown. As a woman, I am hopeful that one day a woman will be elected President, one that brings honesty and integrity to the office, and keeps the scavengers at bay. Analie Maccree Goodyear

More ideas to fix economy Editor: About my last letter, some people are probably wondering why we need a “wagefreeze” when we rebuild the manufacturing sector of our country: Many jobs were outsourced. This caused a domino-effect in our Economy. The Fast Food workers want their wages to be increased to $15 Dollars an hour. With fewer jobs out there, there will be less people eating out. This past month most of the HMOS pulled out of the Affordable Care Act. I heard health insurance premiums will go up by 50%. This will make it harder for your Employer to be able to provide Health Insurance coverage to their workers. One of Hillary Clinton’s campaign promises is that She is going to “increase the wages of the Middle Class.” Wrong move right now. What if in the near future we have a stock market crash (Worse than the one in 2008?) We have a $19 Trillion Dollar National Deficit. Instead of the Presidential Candidates insulting each other (Democrats vs. Republicans), we need to work together to get out of this economic mess. Or, this country will be mortgaged to who knows who? We have to rebuild our manufacturing sector. Improve the Quality of our goods and sell them below the price of our competitors. With better sales, we can offer the workers better wages. Better than we have right now. And lower corporate tax to 10%. This current administration made the mistake of mandating Health Insurance. Low-income workers cannot afford ACA. If they get coverage under AHCCCS, to have a co-pay, $10 for doctor visits & prescriptions

Ballet was offensive Editor: This evening my wife and I attended the ballet performance at Estella Mountain. We left because it was offensive. I was glad that my daughter was not there. Now don’t think that I am some kind of prude. I have been to ballet’s in the past and enjoy them for the most part. What I feel the worst about is the lady behind us described this as art. I have seen art in Paris and Vienna. This was not art. It was a grown man wearing only underwear prancing around on the stage trying to cover his private parts. If the ballet company is not able to maintain a better standard of excellence than what was performed this evening for a family oriented audience Then I am of the opinion city funds would be better spent elsewhere. Ralph Baer Goodyear

Runoff election is fair Editor: Regarding to your recent editorial on the Avondale Mayor’s race — yes, Ken Weise failed to win the Avondale Mayoral race outright by 15 votes. I worked with a school district last year that lost their bond election by 16 votes; should that have been passed because it was so close? It is a campaign’s responsibility to win an election; their opposition should not be criticized for not helping. If you look closely at the Primary turnout, you will find that the cost for inclusion on the General Election ballot (which is not a special election) is about a dollar per additional voter. The Avondale Primary Election turnout was just 18% of registered voters. The turnout for the General Election will likely be closer to 75%. This means that we will hear from approximately 18,000 more voters in the General election. Seems a pretty cost effective way

to honor the one-person one-vote principle to me. If you dig deeper into the numbers, something even more interesting shows up. Although the race is supposed to be non-partisan, the turnout reveals a very partisan Primary. Voter registration in Avondale is 22% Republican, 36% Democrat, and 40% Independent. Of the Primary voters 48% were Republicans, 50% were Democrats, and 2% Independents. By the way Independents, this is why I believe in the “Top Two” election system. Also, kudos to Ken Weise and High Ground for doing such a good job turning out their voters in the Primary. So, what the results really show is the Republican candidate got all the Republican votes; the Democrats split the Democratic vote; and the Independents didn’t vote. Only by following the rules and including the Mayoral Race in the General Election can we ensure our Mayor represents everyone, not just his or her base. Angela Cotera Avondale

TV news Editor: The networks ran a story about a quarterback in the NFL that sat down during the National Anthem. They found a young man who gave a little speech about how if the man does not like it here he should leave. The reporter forgot to ask him how he would react to losing his right to bear arms, would he then leave. Network news ran a story about a law being considered that would restrict a person using medical marijuana from owning a gun. The person being interviewed glibly stated they would have to choose between owning a gun and medical marijuana. The reporter forgot to ask about the possibility of restricting people who drink alcohol from owning a gun. The network sells a lot of alcohol ads. Donald Trump made ugly crude remarks about Clinton to a group of less than 10K people at a Trump rally. Clinton is running those remarks over and over again during prime time across the nation to millions of people. The networks are making millions. The oil and coal industries have contaminated the drinking water in some parts of the country to the extent it cannot be used for bathing. Oklahoma has had over 300 earthquakes this year already, the state has closed about 40 wells out of 4000. The Republicans say we should close the EPA because of the restrictions they put on

business. The EPA is tied and gaged somewhere in Washington, the out of business sign has been up for years. The networks sell a lot of public service ads to the oil industry. If there is one thing this country needs more than anything else it’s a free press. Not free of government control, free from chasing profits.

ok to violate the laws of this nation without any concern to its citizens. Mr. Trump, as president, how are you going to handle all these problems?

Racial profiling runs rampant

Editor: My husband is a Korean & Vietnam war Veteran with 20 years of service to our nation. He says, if he had to do it over again, he would not change anything. This nation means a lot to him and our son, an Iraq war veteran and a Border Patrol Agent. Both my husband and my son will do whatever it takes to protect and secure our great nation. However, I notice that illegal aliens get better treatment than those who serve our great nation. In the meantime, many veterans go homeless and hungry without any recourse. Or for that matter many American citizens as well. When I go shopping at the market, and I see the endless lines of illegals fleecing our treasure with credit cards paid by tax payers, it angers me. Not forgetting the medical and housing provided at our expense. I see young men and women who should be working; instead they are leaching the tax payers. That also includes anchor babies. These are funds that can be used for our nation’s defense and security. These people have no loyalty to our country; all they want is whatever benefits they can get. If asked to help, they will high tail it back to their country of origin. Yet I have a brother who has been waiting for 16 years to legally immigrate here without any hope of ever accomplishing it. Other countries have laws that do no condone any of the aforementioned. Yet the present administration feels that it is

Editor: Many old, white people say “racial profiling is nonexistent”. FALSE”! “Your Kind” refuse to see minorities’ plight. Me? Senior, white, EDUCATED, male and I have lived through blatant racial profiling with 8 totally unwarranted traffic stops: 4 times in California, 3 in New York, and Wickenburg (another planet). These stops were with my BLACK wife. 5 times we had to leave our car, which was searched. 3 times we were questioned for DUI. Why? No tickets were ever issued. I did nothing wrong other than “DWBW” (driving with black woman). Fortunately, nothing ever happened. All it takes is once. Driving by myself, I have never been randomly pulled over, just for speeding. Thankfully, living in Avondale/ Goodyear for 30 years, we have never been profiled. We are lucky to have such helpful, caring, professional, police departments. Shalanda Looney stated a “safe black child registry” is needed. Good start but will not stop racists! White geezers say “be polite, follow orders”, etc. Not that simple. You can’t be hurt if you are not stopped! This is my preference. Those racists stopped us out of racism, not enforcement. Why tear my car apart? I did nothing wrong other than “driving with black woman” (DWBW). Trump’s run has brought out the disgustingly ugly racism in America. Make America Great Again? For whom?

West-MEC flier lacks details Editor: Lets talk about something other than national politics. I just received my copy of the pamphlet. It says â&#x20AC;&#x153;say YES to $245,308,000 of costâ&#x20AC;?. A quarter of a billion dollars! They say it will be spent on new facilities, renovation of current and equipment for both. They also will buy some leased facilities and land for future use and some on roadways, sidewalks, etc. They present arguments for the spending by lots of politicians used to spending other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money. Where is any detail or plans? How many facilities? The last time we had one of these things was the same blah blah for the Agua Fria High School District. Different amounts but similar words and lack of detail. We found out later that a significant amount was spent on new district offices and other things not classroom oriented. I think that they are asking for a blank check and we should vote NO until they tell us how the money will be spent. Then we should hold them accountable for how they then spend it.

Moderator fell short Editor: The highly anticipated first presidential debate has been completed. Both nominees held their ground, both were condescending, at times both provided substantive responses and at times both likewise failed to do so. In short I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear anything about the nominees I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already know and I doubt many undecided voters were swayed either way. Unfortunately most debates turn into homecoming king and queen contests vs. an emphasis on legitimate issues, and therein lies my beef. Ninety minutes is a short time and the voters deserve to hear questions that are relevant. I was disappointed with the time given to three issues of zero relevance, namely the birther issue, the Iraq war, and temperament. I here frankly admit my conservative bias but letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s be fair: questioning a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birth place is not racist as suggested; oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opinion of the 2003 Iraq war is pointless in this election; and, one may display poise and level demeanor while speaking yet still be wrong for the country.

Hillary is above the law Editor: The first â&#x20AC;&#x153;presidentialâ&#x20AC;? debate has come and gone. No surprises on either side. Donald Trump displayed his inability to speak in a coherent manner. I believe this is due to his desire to say all the things he has about Hillary but fears not having the time to say them all and keeps changing subjects in the middle of his sentences. This does not make him sound good to be sure. I

guess this could be blamed on Hillary because she has given him a mountain of ammunition to use against her. Se la vieâ&#x20AC;Ś Confusing as his tirade was in spots Hillary Clinton was very clear. She freely admitted to committing criminal acts (EmailGate), appeared to be proud of herself and showed absolutely no remorse and refused to apologize. I spent six years in the nuclear power branch of the USN and had a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Top Secretâ&#x20AC;? clearance the entire time I was in the Navy. It was made perfectly clear to all of us with this clearance that if we were to divulge any information on what our jobs were or even the slightest detail of what we did we would find ourselves in the prison at Fort Leavenworth making â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;little onesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; out of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;big onesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for the rest of our lives. Presumably because Hillaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clintonâ&#x20AC;? she can do as she wishes with national security secrets and instead of being punished as she deserves she is applauded for running for the chief executive of the country who would be putting people like me in prison for a mere slip of the tongue constituting much, MUCH less than what she has done. She has loudly on national TV proclaimed that she is above the law. Prepare to learn the phrase: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heil to the Chief!â&#x20AC;? John Sleeper Goodyear

Some facts about Hillary Editor: I read with interest the virulent anti-Trump letters, and thought Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d throw a few things in. In 2014 IRS Form 990 filings, the Clinton Foundation received $172,000,000 in donations. The amount given to charitable causes was $5.2 million, only about 5.7%. Wonder where all the money went? Hillary is being supported by billionaires at a rate of 20-1 over Donald Trump. Do you really think that many are supporting her because sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to tax them higher? Interestingly enough, the highest donors to

the DNC are nearly all U.S. ambassadors. Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be pay for play, right? In 2010 Hillary proclaimed her admiration for her mentor Robert Byrd. Did I mention he was a Grand Dragon of the KKK and a recruiter for the movement? Hillary also has spoken of her great admiration for Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood. Should I mention that Margarent Sanger was an outspoken racist who once was quoted as saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Black people are like weeds and should be exterminated.â&#x20AC;? Who would admire someone like that? Not me. When Gaddafi was horribly murdered (for the simple crime of wanting to change Libyaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monetary system to a gold and not petrodollar) Hillary laughed like a hyena and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We came, we saw, he died!â&#x20AC;? Now, to me, anyone who could laugh at a man being stabbed, beaten, sodomized with a bayonet is a psychopath. Now his country is a destabilized mess and ISIS has grown stronger. I could write a dissertation on the horrifying actions of this woman. Anyone supporting her, do your research, and not on Snopes or Huffpost.

Editor: Ever since your decision to print letters as is, the literary offerings have provided me comic relief to sometimes mundane days. I have often wondered why the folks writing havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t taken the time to read their manuscripts before pushing the â&#x20AC;&#x153;sendâ&#x20AC;? button. In your September 28th edition, Mr. Tom Moore seemed to address this very problem. However, as I continued to read, I saw that he is actually part of that problem! In three short paragraphs he managed to blunder in spelling and grammar three times. His third paragraph is a literary nightmare! Perhaps HE requires the services of that 3rd-grader to proofread!

But if he is elected, in two years the count will be around 30 millions dollars.

The seventh annual Buckeye Oktoberfest held Thursday through Sunday will include a carnival, the Helzarockin’ Gem & Mineral Show, a car show, Sangria and Shopping and Sangria at Sunset. “The event has only been growing since the first year,” said Tammy Noble, a member of the Buckeye Main Street Coalition. “The quality of vendors has increased, and the interest in vendors is increasing.” The carnival, which runs through Oktoberfest in Bayless Park, will include rides, carnival games and food vendors. Presale tickets are available at: Buckeye Feed Store, off U.S. Highway 85 and Elm Street, and Carniceria y Taqueria

Durango, on the corner of Monroe Avenue and Fifth Street. From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday through Sunday, the West Valley Rock and Mineral Club will be on First Street and Miller Road with its Helzarockin’ Gem and Mineral Show. Admission is $3; free to children 12 and younger. The show will include guest speaker Kevin Kurshbomb, an East Valley rock expert, vendors, polishing, silver snipping and demonstrations. A geode-cutting demonstration will show how laboratory experts use the proper equipment to open geodes, which are rocks with air bubbles inside. Each rock offers something different, but sometimes crystals can be found inside. Lara Serbin, president of the West Valley

Voter registration deadline nears View report

Arizona residents who aren’t registered to vote have until Oct. 10 to register to participate in the November election. The Nov. 8 ballot will include U.S. president, all of the Arizona Legislature, county offices, school boards and runoff elections for some city offices. Voter registration information may be obtained at city halls, public libraries or the Maricopa County Recorder’s Office, 111 S. Third Ave., Suite 102, Phoenix. Registration information can also be found online at www.servicearizona.com or requested by mail by calling 602-506-1511. To be eligible to register, residents must be United States citizens, 18 years of age or older and residents of Arizona 29 days preceding the election. Potential voters may not have been convicted of a felony or treason (unless they have had their rights restored) or have been adjudicated incompetent. Early voting will begin Oct. 12. Early ballots may be requested by Oct. 28 by visiting www. maricopa.vote or submitting a written request to Maricopa County at 510 S. Third Ave., Phoenix, AZ 85003. Early ballots may also be requested by calling 602-506-1511.

Rock and Mineral Club, said the biggest attraction is likely to be a scavenger hunt. “It’s going to be free for kids. Twelve different rocks are going to be inside empty egg cartons and scattered for the kids to find,” she said. Sangria & Shopping, along with a car show and Sangria at Sunset will be held Saturday. The car show will open at 10 a.m. on Sixth Street and Monroe Avenue, just outside City Hall. Between 60 and 80 cars will be on display, and food vendors will be on site. Admission is free. Sangria & Shopping will be held in conjunction with Taste of Buckeye from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 6th Street Plaza. The two combined will have vendors, food and kid zones. Alcohol will be provided at Sangria & Shopping. Sangria wine glasses will be sold for $10. The price of the wine glass

will include four drink tickets. The fun will continue on through 9 p.m. with Sangria at Sunset when vendors will serve beer and other alcoholic refreshments. Two live bands will perform: Moonshine Mafia, a combination of blues and country, and the Screamin’ Javelinas, a classic rock act. Deanna Kupcik, president and CEO of the Buckeye Valley Chamber of Commerce, said Oktoberfest is a big hit. “What differentiates us from the other events going around is that our event is community based,” Kupcik said. “The money goes back to support organizations in the community.” All profits from the event go back to the community in forms of scholarships to help put Buckeye students through college. “It’s a fun way to give back and make sure our students get a good education,” Kupcik said.

Buckeye studying water costs Report could recommend adjustment in city’s utility rates by Glenn Gullickson staff writer

A review of Buckeye’s water and wastewater operation expenses could result in a rate adjustment, according to the city official who oversees the utilities. Dave Nigh, director of water resources in Buckeye, said the cost of service study will be completed by an outside agency after a City Council work session on the issue is held in October. The report will update a study done in 2012, when the city contracted for the work with Willdan Financial Services, a consulting company based in Temecula, Calif. The study considers the city’s revenues, expenses and capital improvement projects and could serve as the basis for revamping how the city calculates water rates, Nigh said. It’s too early to know how the rates will be affected for a commodity that’s valuable in the desert, he said. “Costs for water for everyone in the state will rise, it’s

just at what level?” Nigh said. “Our goal is not to see a big increase … it’s just to manage it.” He said the city doesn’t profit from water rates, but charges enough to break even on utility costs. The city lost money on water services when there was little in the way of water rate increases from 1987 to 2013, until the city approved a new rate schedule, Nigh said. At that time, the city also established a contingency fund to save for replacement costs for utility facilities, Nigh said. The city annually reviews the numbers and adjusts certain rates, he said. The study will take into account the city’s acquisition last year of Valencia Water Co., a subsidiary of Global Water Co. The purchase of Valencia added about 7,000 customers, bringing Buckeye’s total water hook-ups to about 20,000, Nigh said. He noted that Buckeye’s 600 square miles make it a challenge to provide services to such a large area, which requires facilities and miles of pipes.

Business Briefcase by Shane McOwen staff writer

It’s that time of the week again, everybody: Business Briefcase updates! Now that we’re officially in October, it only makes sense that I don’t have any new Halloween updates to share. That’s how it goes sometimes, I suppose. Definitely nothing scary for this week, unless you’re deathly afraid of tasty food. Or exercise. OK, that last one is understandable. I’ll be sure to slap a disclaimer on it next time. Let’s see what we have this week. Cafe Zupas is now open in Avondale, southeast of McDowell Road and 103rd Avenue at the Shane McOwen Gateway Crossing complex. Cafe Zupas is a triple-s restaurant, specializing in soups, sandwiches and salads. If that’s too difficult of a decision, you can also mix and match halves to create a meal of your choosing. You also get a chocolatecovered strawberry and slice of bread with each purchase. The Avondale location is the chain’s first venture to the Southwest Valley, with the previous closest locations at Arrowhead in Peoria and near the Biltmore shopping center in Phoenix.

Cafe Zupas is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday and closed Sunday. For information, visit cafezupas.com. Moving slightly west (spotted with the eye of our very own Assistant Editor Emily Toepfer), Blaze Pizza is also going in near 103rd Avenue and McDowell Road. Blaze Pizza is part of the build-your-own pizza revolution that’s seemingly taking over the fast-food sector. Patrons can choose from a variety of signature pizzas, or can build their own pizza or salad. For information, visit blazepizza.com. Potbelly Sandwich Shop is also scheduled to open in the same complex. Potbelly (it’s only insulting if it didn’t call itself that) serves exactly what its name implies: sandwiches. The restaurant also throws in salads, soups, chili and breakfast items for good measure. Again, it’s another first-time venture for a franchise to the West Valley. The nearest shops are in downtown Phoenix. For information, visit potbelly.com. After visiting the plethora of new food options, be sure to check out Transcendence Fitness Solutions in Avondale at 107th Avenue and Indian School Road, just east of the Fry’s shopping complex. Transcendence is a new gym to the area, and has been open for just about three weeks, owner Eddie Blanco said. “We’re just trying to get the word out there and

hopefully, try to bring a lot of the community members in,” Blanco said. Transcendence has weight resistance machines, free weights and cardio equipment to go along with Zumba, self-defense classes and classes for seniors and children. Blanco said the gym caters to everyone, and Briefcase readers who mention this mention can even get a free trial. The gym is offering free trials to all, so no mention is really required, but since you’ve already read and digested this information, it won’t hurt to let them know anyway. “It’s for everyone, the whole family,” Blanco said. “We have stuff for kids. We have people competing. Any demographic is welcome.” Basic memberships are $25 per month, while deluxe memberships, which include the classes, are $35. Transcendence is open from 3:45 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday and 6:30 a.m. to noon Saturday and Sunday. For information, visit transcendencefitne.wixsite.com/ personaltrng. That’s all for this week, folks. Thanks for tuning in for another exciting Briefcase unveiling. Please send questions, tips or comments to smcowen@ westvalleyview.com. See you next week!

With a humble attitude, she attributes the work put into the program to her teammates. “The skills that she brings, they’re not skills that are typically found in a library,” said John Pringle, chairman of the library advisory board. “They don’t grow adventuresome souls in a library. No other group is anything like us.” Before the success of the E.O.N. program, Van Leeuwen had aspirations of becoming a documentary film maker. In the summer before her senior year of college, Van Leeuwen pursued her interest in documenting education and interned for the Discovery Channel, which later presented her with a freelance position in California. After graduation, Van Leeuwen followed her parents to Arizona, where within a few months she fell ill with Valley fever. “I ended up in a retirement community the summer after graduating college,” Van Leeuwen said with a laugh. “It was one of those experiences where I sat there and would watch the retirees rollerblading around while realizing that this is my first year out of college and this is what I’m doing.” Van Leeuwen said it was then that she realized if she wanted to focus on education documentaries, she should probably learn to teach. Within the next year, she went on to teach computer technology at Estrella Mountain Community College in Avondale. She spent the next 10 years combining teaching and her love of film working for the Liberty Elementary School District. When the recession hit in 2008, some job opportunities fell while others arose, and Van Leeuwen was offered a different job working for the city of Buckeye. “When you’re following your dream, you’re running for it. But at some point, sometimes that dream takes you some place else. And before I knew it, I fell in love doing education outreach,” Van Leeuwen said.

International company lands in Goodyear Huhtamaki projected to bring 300 jobs to West Valley by Kourtney Balsan special to the View

Another company is looking to invest in the West Valley as it locates to Goodyear. Finland-based Huhtamaki North America purchased a 750,000-square-foot facility for $43 million from Cohen Asset Management. Huhtamaki produces containers, tableware and packaging for food items. “This is a part of our strategy to serve the food service packaging and retail tableware markets,” said Wess Hudelson, communications manager for Huhtamaki North America. “This facility will expand our footprint in these markets and give us more capacity. Goodyear is an excellent location as we look to improve our distribution in the Southwest and southern California.” The production and distribution plant, located at the Cotton Lane Commerce Park off Interstate 10 in Goodyear, will exceed a $100 million capital investment in building modifications, infrastructure and equipment installation, and plans to employ more than 300 people, Hudelson said. “It’s in a great location,” he said. “We were able to find a facility that meets our needs without the time and expense of building from the ground up.” The North American segment has 17 production units in the United States and Mexico with more than 3,600 employees, Hudelson said, adding that the North American revenue exceeds $1 billion.

“It’s in a great location. We were able to find a facility that meets our needs without the time and expense of building from the ground up.” — Wess Hudelson Huhtamaki North America communications manager

“Three years ago, we were able to successfully expand and bring on new business with our facility in Batavia, Ohio. This facility builds off that successful expansion and we are looking forward to the growth it will create for our company,” Hudelson said. Goodyear Mayor Georgia Lord said she welcomes Huhtamaki with open arms and is excited for the company’s community investment, adding that the city’s highly skilled workforce, excellent transportation and low cost of conducting business allows companies to succeed. “Huhtamaki’s selection of Goodyear for its newest manufacturing facility is a win for the city, as well as the region,” Lord said. “It is projects like these, which bring hundreds of permanent jobs and millions of dollars of investment to the West Valley, and serve as a catalyst for other types of development our residents desire that enhances our already award-winning quality of life in Goodyear.”

The 102-acre development project will begin in 2017. The facility will serve major markets in the Western U.S. starting in 2017, ramping up in 2018 and 2019, Hudelson said, adding it is too early to tell when hiring will officially start, but diversity is a huge goal for the company. “One of our core values is ‘we treat our world with respect,’” Hudelson said. “As part of this, we train employees to care about each other, the environment and the community. We welcome diversity and see it as a source of innovation.” As for community outreach and reinvestment, Huhtamaki North America plans to work at being the best neighbor possible, Hudelson said, adding that there is no set-in-stone plan yet, but once the company becomes involved in the community, it will create an outreach program that best fits the area. “Our community outreach efforts always focus on the cities where we work,” he said. “We encourage our employees to get involved and drive our outreach efforts. We want to be a good neighbor, and it gives our employees a great feeling of satisfaction to know they are doing good for the community. We don’t exactly know what that will look like in the Phoenix area just yet, but we will definitely be involved with the community.” Kourtney Balsan can be reached at Kbalsan@westvalleyview.com.

Tigers top Lobos in wild game Millennium wins region opener 50-27 by Shane McOwen sports writer

Just about any scenario that could happen in a football game did in Millennium and La Joya’s region-opening contest Sept. 30. The teams combined for five plays greater than 47 yards, five blocked FOOTBALL or tipped kicks, three turnovers, converted three of four twopoint conversions and had 680 total yards — 340 each. Millennium (2-4, 1-0) never trailed in the game, albeit a close affair, and was able to deliver the final nails in La Joya’s (3-3, 0-1) coffin in the form of successive plays in the fourth quarter, extending a 35-27 lead to 50-27 in 15 seconds of game time. “Anytime you get a win, you’re happy,” Millennium coach James Carter said. “I’m excited for the kids. It’s two in a row, and hopefully, we can get three in a row and keep it rolling. That’s the plan.” La Joya was in striking distance the entire game, but kept running into unfortunate results in momentum-shifting moments. The Lobos were seemingly one punt away from having the ball, down eight points, with just more than six minutes remaining in the game. However, the Tigers converted a fourth-and-12 on a broken play because of a high snap on a punt, and then rushed 59 yards on two J.J. Gayles carries for a touchdown. The Lobos threw a pick-six on the first play of the ensuing drive, effectively icing the game. “This game was my fault,” La Joya coach Josh Mitchell said. “We were not prepared to deal with the pressure of having the game close in the fourth quarter. I did not do a good enough job of

CHRISTIAN CONROY, left, of Estrella Foothills tackles Youngker’s Jabril Gray Sept. 30 during a first quarter kick return. The Wolves scored early and went on to a 30-12 victory in the teams’ region openers.

It was the first section game for both Youngker and Estrella Foothills Sept. 30, as both teams were looking to set the tempo early on. However, it was the Wolves who got the job done in a 30-12 win over the Roughriders. FOOTBALL Getting off to a hot start is something Wolves coach Lamar Early has emphasized as an area of importance for his team. “We’ve been talking about just setting the tempo, and for the last couple weeks, it has been that way,” Early said. “They’ve come out ready to play, and offensively, we’ve been able to drive down and score, and that was huge.” After a Youngker (0-7) punt, Estrella (3-4) took the ball down the field on its first possession and finished off a 64-yard drive with a one-yard rushing touchdown by quarterback Tyler Godfrey to make it 7-0 with 5:24 left in the opening quarter. Wolves linebacker Jacob Ellis then picked off a pass at Youngker’s 34-yard line by Roughriders quarterback Kyle Waldon, who was starting in place of injured quarterback Alex Rodriguez. However, Estrella couldn’t get any points off the turnover. The Roughriders responded with a one-yard touchdown run by running back Rashad Griffis, but the PAT was no (See Wolves on Page 16)

Youngker has strong start to region play Lady Roughriders top district rivals Buckeye, Estrella Foothills last week by Casey Pritchard sports editor

Youngker beefed up its volleyball schedule to face tougher competition in the early going. So far, the experiment has worked. The Lady Roughriders took a couple of hits to their record with some difficult early season matchups, but they started play in the 4A VOLLEYBALL Southwest Region with a bang. Youngker (16-10) won each of its first three region games, including victories over district rivals Buckeye and Estrella Foothills last week. “Even though we knew our early season schedule was going to be a lot more difficult, it’s been good,” Youngker coach Troy Sherman said. “However frustrating it was, it’s been good because it showed us early on where we’re lacking, and those are the things we’re able to work on in practice now. It is showing when we’ve come back into our region schedule, we’re seeing a greater level of intensity than what we have in years past. We’re not playing down at all, we’re keeping our energy up more, and that’s definitely going to help us come playoff time.” Youngker’s first region win was a straight-set victory Sept. 22 at Yuma, before the Lady Roughriders topped Buckeye in four sets and Estrella in three last week. Sherman said getting off to a 3-0 region start was extremely important, especially with two of the wins coming against district foes. “As much as we would like to focus on teams from around the state that we know are probably the ones we’ve got to shoot for come playoff time, we can’t look past those local rivalries, especially in-district rivalries, when we know how badly they want to beat us,” Sherman said. The key to beating Buckeye and Estrella was defense, Sherman said. Against Buckeye, the Lady Roughriders had a small hiccup, which cost them the third set, but they were strong otherwise. “We’ve been struggling in set three this year, which is what we saw against Buckeye,” Sherman said. “We struggle to finish teams out, so we changed some specific things about our defense on [Sept. 28] before the Estrella match, just to kind of see how things went. We really felt good about the changes, the girls came out and played great, and that really made the difference between the two matches.” The change was not in personnel, but rather placement of the players on the court. The purpose was to allow better opportunities for Youngker after the ball went up, Sherman said. The change worked right away, which Sherman credited to the girls. “We can make whatever changes we want, or tell them to make changes, but it was them really buying into what we were trying to do, and them coming out and lighting it up, and that was more on them than any coaching decision,” Sherman said. Defense has been a focal point for the Lady Roughriders all year. Some days, the defense plays really well, but other times, it doesn’t. “When we’re on, we’re a very difficult team to get a ball to drop on, but it has been up and down this year,” Sherman said. “It hasn’t been as consistent as what I’d hope, but the last few matches, the girls have really done a great job.” When Youngker’s defense is on point, it can be very frustrating for opponents, Sherman said. “It really is a frustrating thing, not just when we do it, but when other teams do it against us,” Sherman said. “I really have to hand it to Buckeye, even in the sets they lost, they got balls up in a greater number than any

I think some of the same things happened against Estrella. When our defense is clicking, it can be very frustrating to hitters to actually not see those balls drop that they’re used to seeing drop, and to need to play it again.”

Offensive leaders Youngker’s strong defense has been complemented by its best offensive player, Skylar Reed. Reed has 280 kills in 26 matches. “She is definitely stepping into that role of being our (See Strong on Page 19)

Wild (From Page 12) Mitchell said the Lobos’ coaching staff was yelling across the field to correct the mistake before the ball was snapped, but he should have taken a timeout to make sure the Tigers couldn’t take advantage. After the defense forced a three-and-out, the Tigers’ special teams flexed its muscle as well. Millennium brought the house on La Joya’s first punt attempt, and the effort resulted in a thunderous block. Diggs picked up the ball on the bounce and ran it in 10 yards for his second touchdown in the early going, giving Millennium a 14-0 lead. The Lobos recovered — scoring on the next drive on a two-yard rush by Devin Dourisseau — and proved to be pesky visitors the rest of the half. Millennium added a 49-yard touchdown from Pina to Cameron Taylor, to which La Joya answered with another two-yard run by Dourisseau. The Lobos caught Millennium off guard on the following kickoff, recovering an onside attempt with 8:29 remaining in the half. The Lobos lost the momentum two plays later when Dourisseau hit senior running back Aaron Murphy for a 12-yard completion, but Murphy fumbled the ball. Taylor returned the fumble to the Lobos’ three-yard line. The Tigers punched it in three plays later to lead 28-14. The second half saw La Joya strike for big-play scores, only to be answered by Millennium touchdowns of its own. The Tigers put the game away with the two-score lightning strike in the fourth quarter: the Gayles rushing touchdown, and pick-six by linebacker John Clooney. Gayles led the way for the Tigers on the ground with 97 yards on 12 carries. Melo Johnson rushed 10 times for 41 yards. Pina completed 10 of 15 throws for 191 yards and three touchdowns. For La Joya, Davon Jones had a game-high 154 yards on 19 carries. Dourisseau was 6 of 13 for 163 yards with a touchdown and interception. Murphy caught five balls for 157 yards and a score.

Improvement Both coaches felt their teams had much to improve upon following the game’s conclusion. “[We had] too many penalties,” Carter said of his team’s 14 infractions. “We’ve got to correct that.” Carter also felt the team wasn’t as crisp as it could be on general execution. “We just have to play better,” he said. “In the second half, we gave up some big plays where we should have had them for a loss. We let them get away with a few long ones.” Mitchell had similar sentiments about his own squad. “We have to fix our discipline issues,” he said. “We were self-destructing, and like I said, that’s on me. We’re not a disciplined enough team, and that’s something we’re going to fix. That’s really what it comes down to. They executed when they needed, and we didn’t.” While the referees may have been a little flag happy at times — the teams were called for nine penalties combined on La Joya’s last drive alone — both teams had their share of miscues. Millennium’s 14 penalties cost it 160 yards, and La Joya was flagged 12 times for 110 yards. “We’ve got to correct our mistakes,” Carter said. “We’ve got to come back Monday and get better and correct them. We’ll watch film [Oct. 1] and fix those mistakes.” The Tigers faced a difficult non-region schedule, starting 0-4 before picking up their first win last week against Phoenix Sandra Day O’Connor. The win over La Joya gives the team an early advantage in the region standings, where the winner claims an automatic berth to the 6A playoffs. “[We] just have to keep going forward, don’t look back,” Pina said. “We can’t afford to think we’re just

AARON MURPHY, 30, of La Joya leaps to catch the ball Sept. 30 while Millennium’s Cameron Taylor tries to knock it away. The Tigers scored twice in 15 seconds late in the game to put the Lobos away in a 50-27 victory. going to roll through teams. We have to keep coming out hard every play.” The Tigers will look to make it three wins in a row when they travel to Glendale Copper Canyon Oct. 7. The Aztecs are 3-3, coming off back-to-back wins over Phoenix Trevor G. Browne and Yuma Kofa by a combined score of 125-0.

La Joya will have another tough test Oct. 7 on the road against Westview. The Knights were 47-27 winners over Tolleson. Shane McOwen can be reached at smcowen@westvalleyview.com or on Twitter @ShaneMcOwen.

JACOB ELLIS, left, of Estrella Foothills runs at Zavier Reeves of Youngker Sept. 30. Ellis had a 17-yard touchdown reception on offense and an interception on defense, helping the Wolves to a 30-12 victory against the Roughriders in the 4A Southwest region opener.

Wolves (From Page 12) good, and the Wolves still led 7-6 with 10:21 left in the second quarter. Estrella didn’t waste any time, as it scored on its next possession off a 50-yard touchdown run by running back Kantray Noble, who finished the night with 14 carries for 121 yards. Following a three-and-out by Youngker, in a drive that was extended because of a roughing-the-passer penalty on the Roughriders, the Wolves added another touchdown off a 14-yard run by running back J.C. Stanley. After a missed PAT, their lead was 20-6 with 3:21 remaining in the first half. The Roughriders’ offense remained stagnant throughout the game, and a multitude of penalties and mental errors didn’t help, either. Youngker coach Kelly Epley pointed to those things as contributing factors to his team’s loss, along with crediting Early for the work he does with his players. “Lamar Early does a great job with his team,” Epley said. “The kids play hard; they don’t make mistakes. The reason we couldn’t move the football was completely because of us. We make way too many mistakes, we take two steps forward, then three steps back.” The mistakes continued into the second half. A short kickoff by the Roughriders, followed by a solid return by Estrella, gave the Wolves great field position at the Roughriders’ 27-yard line. A few plays later, the Wolves finished the drive off with a 17-yard touchdown pass

from Godfrey to Ellis with 9:53 left in the third quarter, making it 27-6. After Estrella forced another three-and-out, it started off on its own 39-yard line. It seemed Youngker was going to be able to get a stop after sacks by Roughriders linebackers Bobby Stinson and Nathen Blowers, but a key 39-yard fourth-down completion by Godfrey to Wolves receiver Hudson Perry put them at the Roughriders’ three-yard line. They capped off the drive with a 23-yard field goal by kicker Joshua Orozco, increasing their lead to 30-6 with 3:40 remaining in the third quarter. “I just think it’s our drive to win, and our play-calling and finding their weaknesses,” Godfrey said of Estrella’s offensive success. For a team that’s had some close calls this year, Early said it was critical his team closed the game out. “We talked about it, and yes, we’ve lost some heartbreakers,” Early said. “Our first game, our second game, our third game, and then we won our fourth game, and you know, we’ve been tested, but now we have to put that experience that we had and make the most of it for the next three games in region. We tell them to keep fighting. Keep fighting because it’s not how you start the season, it’s how you finish, and they’ve hung in there. They’re fighting and I’m proud of them, I really am.” Youngker added the game’s final score with 6:42 remaining off a six-yard run by running back Zavier Reeves. The two-point conversion attempt failed.

District rivalry For the Wolves, getting the win had a little more meaning to it because of the fact that the schools are close in proximity and Youngker is in their district. “There is a lot more emotion going into it just because

you see them sometimes on a daily basis, and other times, you don’t,” Godfrey said. “You don’t want them to come up to you and say they beat you, but now we get to say we beat them.” As for Youngker, Epley said the problems his team had in the game are things they’ve been dealing with all season. “We were just making silly mistakes, and we have been all year long,” he said. “We’re just snake-bitten right now.” Epley said it’s an issue that has been seen in practice, and it’s been difficult as far as what he needs to do to get the best out of his players. “It’s a huge problem,” he said. “What I do is I just say, ‘At some point guys, we’ve got to just quit making the stupid mistakes’ … I’m trying to be consistent. I’m trying to be at the same time, rip their tail when you got to rip their tail, but at the same time, right now, they don’t need their tail ripped. Right now, they need someone to say, ‘I know you can do it, let’s do it.’ Well, I’m trying that, and that doesn’t seem to be working either.” Reeves echoed his coach’s statements. “We definitely need to work harder in practice,” he said. “In the weight room, we need to get bigger and stronger, and just be ready for Yuma next week.” Despite the win, Early said his team still needs to get a lot of work done. “I know we can execute better, and again, every week, we want to get better,” Early said. “[It’s] the execution on offense and kind of getting lackadaisical on defense at times, but again, those are all things we can fix.” Estrella will be off this Friday with a bye, while Youngker will look to get its first win of the season when it heads to Yuma.

Buckeyeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s swim team is very young, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a motivated group, which has coach Kathy Choitz very pleased halfway through the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My team is mainly freshmen and sophomores, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m seeing a lot of improvement really quick, which is exciting,â&#x20AC;? Choitz SWIMMING said. The roster has 34 athletes, 21 of whom swam with Choitz during the summer.
