Nearly 55 years after becoming an official racetrack, Avondale’s Phoenix Raceway will host the NASCAR championship series Friday, Nov. 6, through Sunday, Nov. 8.

While the cars will be going at full speed, for viewers it will be more of a “yellow flag”—with caution—experience.

The COVID-19 pandemic has altered the country, and nothing seems normal these days. Phoenix Raceway President Julie Giese still wants fans to enjoy the series as if life was back to normal.

More classroom closures possible

An increase in COVID-19 cases in the county and state over the last two weeks may lead to classroom closures at a second West Valley high school district.

At an Oct. 29 press conference, Gov. Doug Ducey noted virus cases are on the rise around the country.

“We did anticipate the rise in cases. We did say we’re going to stay vigilant and were not going to let our guard down,” Ducey said.

And he urged Arizona to brace for worse: “We know there is a storm ahead of us,”

Ducey said.

The rising numbers of COVID-19 cases already are impacting West Valley schools.

The Tolleson Union High School District canceled football and volleyball seasons Oct. 30.

The TUHSD school board voted Oct. 7 to keep classrooms closed through the fall semester.

This week, another district is considering going back to online

The Agua Fria Union High School District governing board votes at its Wednesday, Nov. 4, meeting to “Approve the return to fully virtual (online) learning starting Nov. 9 through the end of the second quarter Dec. 18.”

At least one school in the district, Millennium High School, has had multiple cases of COVID-19, with letters sent to parents on each occasion.

Agua Fria’s COVID-19 dashboard, updated every Friday, lists six cases at Canyon View, four at Millennium, three at Desert Edge and one at Verrado, with a total of 11 students and four staff with COVID-19.

And football programs at Millennium and Verrado high schools are on hold for two weeks due to a positive COVID-19 case.

The two teams played at Verrado in Buckeye Oct. 16. Both teams canceled games the following two weeks.

At the 5:30 p.m. meeting at the district office at 1481 N. Eliseo Felix Jr. Way, Avondale, the Agua Fria board also will “review third quarter curric-

At Litchfield Elementary School District, although younger students returned to school five days per week, the district decided Oct. 30 to delay a full reopening of middle school (sixth through eighth grade) classrooms.

According to the Litchfield Elementary district website, “The recently updated health benchmarks from Maricopa County Department of Health indicate our numbers are moving in the wrong direction. Two of the three measurable categories are now in the ‘moderate risk’ (yellow) range and one is in the ‘substantial risk’ (red) range.

“Due to this concerning spike in data, our middle schools are not going to return to In-Person Learning on Monday, Nov. 2.”

Grades six through eight at Litchfield Elementary district will continue in the hybrid learning model, with students in classrooms two days per week.

That would mean closing classrooms. But, the post noted, “If our metrics are within yellow and/or green ranges in Maricopa County Department of Health’s Nov. 5 data, then schools will continue in their current learning models.”

Other West Valley districts are closely following data provided by the county and state for guidance.

According to a TUHSD statement on the sports season cancellations, “This week’s benchmarks, reported by the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) and used in the Arizona Interscholastic Association (AIA) Return-to-Activity Guidelines, reached the elevated levels of 10.74% positivity rate and 110.81 cases per 100k people, far beyond the established 5% positivity rate and less than 75 cases per 100,000 people.”

“AIA Guidelines recommend that when ADHS changes the level of spread for a community, the schools in that community should limit athletic participation to those activities that are permitted for the current level of spread. ...

“This is not the outcome that we wanted, but unfortunately, it is the decision that has to be made in order to ensure the safety and health of our student athletes, coaches and athletic personnel,” the TUHSD statement concluded. The district has nine high schools in Avondale, Glendale, Phoenix and Tolleson.

NASCAR...continued from page 1 about 20% of the track will be filled, which will mean only about 8,000 fans will attend the championship weekend.

Strict guidelines will be in place for fans who do choose to attend the events.

“Face masks are required, temperature screening upon entering the stadium, and social distancing throughout the entire venue while you are here,” Giese said. “Cashless concessions and a number of new protocols are in place to ensure a safe experience for everyone.”

The race action begins at 6 p.m. Friday, Nov. 6, as the green flag drops for the Lucas Oil 150, to decide the NASCAR Gander RV and Outdoors Truck Series Championship.

That will be followed at noon Saturday, Nov. 7, by the Arizona Lottery 100. The 100-lap championship race in NASCAR’s top developmental series will be part of a Saturday doubleheader along with the Xfinity Series’ Desert Diamond Casino West Valley 200.

At 1 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 8, the 2020 NASCAR Championship Weekend will culminate with the NASCAR Cup Series, with four elite drivers battling for the championship.

Limited fans will be allowed into the track, but fans of NASCAR in Avondale can still attend a drive-in watch party at The BLVD in Avondale starting at 10 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 8.

Hosted by the city of Avondale, NASCAR and Phoenix Raceway, the inaugural NASCAR Championship Watch Party at The BLVD will bring every second of the action from the track directly to the fans, all from the comfort of their vehicles.

The event is free to attend, but guests must register in advance at phoenixraceway.com/watchparty. In addition to watching the first NASCAR Cup Series champion crowned at Phoenix Raceway, the afternoon of fun will consist of virtual appearances by NASCAR Cup Series drivers and other special guests, as well as a special gift pack for each car. Guests can also enjoy food trucks, games and other activities.

The BLVD, located at 755 N. 114th Avenue in Avondale, opens its gates at 10 a.m., with the green flag set to drop for the championship race at 1 p.m.

“We worked with the city of Avondale on a watch party to just allow more people to participate in the event and come together as race fans to celebrate the championship just a few miles down the road from the track,” Giese said.

“We’re excited to engage a few more people knowing that not everyone can be at the track on race weekend.”

“Certainly a different event than we thought we would be hosting, but excited still by the fact that we are host-

ing it,” Giese said. “We will crown four champions, and we will have some fans with us as well.”

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

Many of the traditional Veterans Day celebrations will be online this Nov 11.

In Goodyear, the city will be doing a virtual Veterans Day Tribute, according to Corrine Holliday, a city spokeswoman.

She said residents can show appreciation for veterans by picking up a free patriot yard sign from the Goodyear recreation office, 3075 N. Litchfield Road.

The city of Goodyear also requested videos of local veterans and their families for “a special Veterans Day tribute video that will be shared on social media.”

Similarly, the city of Buckeye is doing a virtual tribute, according to spokeswoman Annie DeChance. “We asked residents to submit photos to us, including what branch, years of service, etc. a few weeks ago. We received over 125 entries,” she said.

Results will be displayed on Buckeye’s Facebook page Veterans Day. The city of Avondale is joining forces with local veteran groups and Estrella Community College for a Veterans Ceremony and Virtual Run starting at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 11.

Breakfast kicks off the event at Avon-

dale City Hall Outdoor Amphitheater, 11465 Civic Center Drive.

Masks will be required, and the ceremony will include other COVID-19 safety protocols, including social distancing.

A ceremony that begins at 9 a.m. will be shared live via the Avondale Events Facebook page.

The ceremony is free to attend, no reservation required. Cost for breakfast is a $5 suggested donation, free for veterans, active military and their families.

The Virtual Fun Run cost for participation is $25. Active-duty and Veterans get a discount, as the fee is only $11.11.

Register online at estrellamountain. edu/vetfunrun.

All net proceeds will directly support the Veterans Increasing Persistence Program (VIPP). This program is designed to assist veterans in financial situations that may prevent them from going to school or completing a degree.

For more information about the event, contact Avondale Parks and Recreation at 623-333-2400 or visit avondaleaz.gov/events.

Most city offices will be closed on Veterans Day.

Prop 207 could mean more jobs, tax revenue

BY BRIAN CANO SR.

West Valley View Staff Writer

On Election Day, Arizonans were to decide on Proposition 207. If approved, it would make so recreational marijuana possession legal for adults in 2021.

If passed, the Smart and Safe Arizona Act, also known as Proposition 207, is projected to bring in over $200 million to local governments through a 16% excise tax that will be distributed to police and fire departments, community colleges and state infrastructure, according to azleg.gov.

If the ballot initiative passes, the cannabis industry could see the expansion of existing markets and the opening of new ones in 2021. Medical marijuana dispensaries would be able to apply for licenses to sell recreational marijuana.

“We anticipate our business will double pretty much immediately,” said Ryan Hurley of Sun City’s Sol Flower Medical Marijuana Dispensary. “We’re hiring now in anticipation of this passing.”

Steve White, founder and CEO of

Tempe-bases Harvest Health & Recreation, said he expects to experience a similar hiring expansion into the West Valley. Harvest HOC of Avondale Dispensary is at 3828 S. Vermeersch Road.

“Harvest currently has over 1,000 employees with about 600 employees located in Arizona. If Prop 207 passes, we will need to add employees in cultivation and manufacturing, retail and corporate to help service additional demand and future growth,” White said via email.

Sara Presler of Debbie’s Dispensary in Peoria said the windfall from cannabis sales could help pay for vital behavioral health needs, keep the most vulnerable people out of the criminal justice system and increase much-needed access to resources and services.

“The proposition will create millions of dollars annually for the Department of Health Services and projects related to addiction, prevention, substance abuse treatment, suicide prevention, mental health programs,” Presler said.

“There will be $300 million project-

Those in the marijuana industry disagree with that view.

Hurley said legalized marijuana is a market that will change as consumer preferences evolve as neighboring states legalize or consider changing their cannabis policy.

“I think prohibition of cannabis has proven to be a drastic failure of a policy. And there’s a number of states that have taken a different approach and that approach is working,” Hurley said.

“The economic benefits, the tax benefits, those things to me, are all icing on the cake.”

ed annually to fund community colleges, public safety and public health, roads and highways. So we’re not just talking about cannabis business jobs. We’re talking about improving the general welfare of Arizona,” she added.

But, according to an Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the West Valley has plenty of reasons to oppose Proposition 207.

“Proposition 207 caps the marijuana tax at 16%. Arizona’s lawmakers will have to figure out how to battle the negative consequences of recreational marijuana with no hope of taxing those who are making millions,” said Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry President and CEO Glenn Hamer.

Additionally, Hamer wrote, “If it passes, Proposition 207 permanently locks Arizona into this social experiment at the expense of our kids, our roads and our economy. The industry gets rich while Arizonans suffer the consequences.”

Trump ‘MAGA’ rally hits Goodyear

NEWS

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

To roars of “four more years,” a grinning, waving President Donald Trump took the makeshift stage at Phoenix Goodyear Airport Wednesday, Oct. 28.

“That’s a lot of people,” he remarked, acknowledging the applause. “Wow, thank you very much. And hello Goodyear!”

Less than a week before the election, an energetic Trump—less than a month after being hospitalized for COVID-19—ranged from chatting casually to barking out rallying cries.

“Six days from now we are going to win Arizona and win four more years in our great, beautiful White House,” he told the crowd.

Trump promised “we will deliver record prosperity, epic job growth and a safe vaccine that quickly ends the virus—the China plague is what it is. ...

We are going to be stronger than we have ever before.

“Next year is going to be the best eco-

nomic year in our country’s history.”

He vowed to “make America great again, again.”

When Trump brought up his opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden, the crowd chanted, “Lock him up!

Lock him up!”

Trump said a vote for Biden means “massive tax increases.”

He downplayed the many polls showing him far behind Biden: “Four years ago, they had me 12 points behind,” Trump said with a dismissive shrug.

With many in the crowd wearing “Latinos for Trump” T-shirts, Trump said, “My poll numbers are through the roof with Hispanic Americans. I always knew they’d like me.

“Over the last four years I’ve been delivering for Hispanic Americans like never before. And Hispanic American unemployment reached all-time lows prior to the pandemic.”

Some in the crowd erupted in a “Lati-

nos for Trump” chant.

“Today I’m announcing the American Dream Plan,” Trump said. “Over the next four years the American Dream Plan will bring more than 2 million jobs to Hispanic communities, create more than a half million new Hispanic-owned small businesses—which will end up being large businesses if I know you. ... More Hispanic families will be able to buy a home and afford quality health care.”

He predicted “we’re going to win a record number of Hispanic votes.”

Trump predicted Nov. 3 would be just like it was four years ago.

“In 2016 ... you elected an outsider as president, who is finally putting America first,” Trump said. “And if I don’t sound like a typical Washington politician, it’s because I’m not a typical Washington politician.”

Promising “we are going to keep on winning, winning, winning,” Trump concluded with a succinct message for a key swing state: “Thank you, Arizona. Go out and vote.”

As COVID-19 cases surge anew, some towns lift mask mandates

Health experts and elected officials agree that face masks are a key tool in the fight against the spread of COVID-19. But some local governments in the state have lifted mask mandates recently, even as the number of new COVID-19 cases in the state has started to surge.

Payson Mayor Tom Morrisey thinks mask wearing is one of the best ways to stop the spread of COVID-19 in his town—but he doesn’t want to force residents to do it.

While Maricopa County continues to have a mask mandate, Payson is one of a number of local governments that have lifted face mask ordinances in recent weeks, even as infections in the county and state have started to surge again One health expert said relaxing mask mandates now is “foolish” for local officials that want to reopen their communities, because it could lead to a surge that might bring on new, harsher shutdowns.

The moves come as COVID-19 infections have started climbing again, after dropping from a seven-day average of 3,454 cases per day in early July to 392 in early September. But the number has steadily grown since then, reaching a seven-day average of 1,002 new cases per day recently, according to data from the Arizona Department of Health Services.

The shift sparked a warning from Dr. Cara Christ, director of the state health department, who cautioned Arizonans from becoming complacent and losing ground from the progress the state has made since July.

“With the data showing COVID-19 still circulating in our community, Arizonans need to remain vigilant,” Christ said.

She urged all Arizonans to wear a mask in public, socially distance, wash hands frequently, avoid large gather-

ings, stay home if they are feeling sick and get a flu shot.

“We know that masks are one of the most effective methods for preventing COVID-19 transmission, and we urge all Arizonans to appropriately wear a mask, whether or not they live in an area with a mandate,” she said.

“There’s still more to do, and we can’t let our guard down.”

Gov. Doug Ducey has shied away from a statewide mask mandate. While the state requires masks in certain businesses—including bars, restaurants and gyms—Ducey has otherwise called on individuals to take appropriate precautions and left local governments to decide whether to require masks more broadly or not.

Six of the state’s 15 counties, which are home to most of the state’s population, have adopted mask mandates: Maricopa, Pima, Coconino, Yuma, Santa Cruz and Greenlee.

Will Humble, executive director of the Arizona Public Health Association, said it’s “foolish” for city governments to relax these mandates. If local governments want to reopen their communities and not return to a stay-at-home order, he said, mandating face coverings must be the “top priority.”

“The single, most important thing that they can do is to require continued wearing of face coverings in indoor public environments,” Humble said.

“It doesn’t need to be everywhere; it just needs to be in indoor public environments.”

Humble said lifting a mask mandate is “not the end of the world, but I think it’s absolutely foolish.”

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS

GAMBLE’S OPINION — King Features

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Supporting Kelly Editor: I’m a registered Republican. But I’m supporting Mark Kelly in this election.

There’s really no other way to say it: Martha McSally has been a disappointment to Arizona. It’s really too bad, because I come from a military family; my father, my husband and my son have all served. I believe McSally used to be capable and reasonable.

But now something’s changed— she’s just taking orders from Trump and McConnell and is incapable of questioning them at all, even if they’re wrong. And she’s willing to do anything to win—her campaign is built completely on attacking Kelly with lies and misleading statements. It’s desperate and pathetic.

We need to elect an independent leader—and Mark Kelly is going to be that leader for Arizona. Mark is the only candidate in this race who is making his campaign about the issues that matter to Arizonans—making sure we contain the coronavirus while saving small businesses, investing more in job training, and making our economy stronger for the future.

I’m tired of representatives like Martha McSally turning a blind eye to the failures of our president and the other leaders in Washington. It’s time for cool-headed, bipartisan leadership that actually represents Arizonans.

Sometimes, when leaders are strong, their political party is secondary to their ability to represent their constituents. That’s how it was with John McCain, and I know that’s how it is with

Kelly. I hope you’ll join me and vote for Mark Kelly, regardless of your political party.

Pat Paxton Surprise

Not a Trump hater

Editor: OK, the editor of the Opinion section can choose the letters that get printed.

In the Oct. 28 West Valley View issue, all five letters were anti-Biden/proTrump. Does that reflect the range of letters submitted? And four of them are critical of my Oct. 21 letter, even referring to me by name.

One critic calls me “a blatant liar” for suggesting Biden has better character than Trump. Apparently, if your opinion is different than his, you are a liar. This from a person who supports Trump and his documented 20,000 lies in four years. I always cite facts to support my opinions. My critics prefer name-calling and sarcasm rather than credible data to support their views. I guess if they don’t have facts, statistics, quotes and logic to attack my opinion they choose to attack me personally.

This is a Trump technique, of course.

P.S. I do not “hate Trump,” but I really dislike what he does and says.

Fact check: Speaker Pelosi is not “a witch”; Senator Harris is not “a socialist”; Joe Biden is not “corrupt.”

Comments like these are misinformed, ignorant or willfully false. Note: An investigation by the Senate Republicans did not find any credible wrongdoing with Ukraine, Latvia or China by Joe or Hunter Biden, nor has the FBI

found any evidence against them in Giuliani’s laptop-from-hell scam. And unlike Trump, they do not have bank accounts in China.

Also, to compare Trump to Reagan is an insult to traditional Republican values. Republicans used to care about the national debt, struggling families, small government, strong public schools and people of different faiths and ethnicity.

Not so much now. I used to be able to have a respectful discussion of politics with my conservative friends, but sadly many of them became Trumpers.

I am hopeful America can return to civility, fair treatment for all and unity under President Biden.

And now for something completely different: a podcast.

Litchfield Parker Don Burns, a retired publicist and newspaper editor who moved to the West Valley from Northern California (but don’t hold that against him) in July, launched 20-minute podcasts from his home.

He plans to cover community events and news.

Among Burns’ first podcast interviews will be Litchfield Public Library staff, discussing branch programs, services and library volunteer opportunities.

Check out the podcast at kiltguyinaz. com/lp_podcast.html.

• You can never have too many sports bars, right?

Buckeye City Council recently approved a restaurant liquor license for Tailgaters Sports Grill at 457 S. Watson Road in Buckeye.

The location is the previous Native Grill & Wings building.

I write this before Election Day. The modern election campaigning strategies bring out the worst communication tactics. Electing leaders is too critical to each of us, our households and our jobs to have campaigns run like popularity contests. Glad our mayoral and city council elections have a professional demeanor.

The world’s most popular auto race, the NASCAR Championship, is here thanks to the people at Phoenix Raceway, city of Avondale and others working for years to make this happen.

Thousands of race fans will be in the Southwest Valley. Eyes from around the world will know our community because of the race. This isn’t a big deal; it’s a huge deal for all of us!

To visiting NASCAR fans: Welcome to the Southwest Valley—a community with a strong history, friendly residents and a mighty future!

I’ve talked with hundreds of business professionals from around the country in the past few weeks. Three common topics: The limited shut down is causing as much harm to our economy as the original shut down.

Next, there are too many stories of people suffering from anxiety, depression or worse due to the virus situation. Don’t assume family and friends are OK. Make time to speak with them before it’s too late. Lastly, pretty much everybody said the way the virus is handled would change after the election results. It’s sad that political talking points have replaced the truth about our health and safety.

The Southwest Valley Chamber recently conducted two surveys. The first about the county mask mandate: it was 50% “no mask” to 45% “yes mask,” with the balance as “not sure,” which matches national survey results. The other survey asked about attending in-person events. Seventy-two percent said they would attend. Only 3% were unsure. I’ll let you draw your own conclusions.

To our Veterans and their families, I give a big thank you for your service and dedication on behalf of the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce. You might consider attending a Veterans Day event. There are in-person and virtual activities planned from somber ceremonies to virtual 10K runs. Veterans Day is Wednesday, Nov. 11.

I wish you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving. A recent national survey stated most people plan to stay close to home. Think about a staycation at one of our wonderful local hotels. It would be a nice way to enjoy the holiday. If you plan to be at home, order takeout from a local restaurant if you don’t want to cook. If you’re able, invite friends to join your celebration. Remember, it’s about giving thanks and sharing good times with family and friends.

Yeah, there are reasons to be thankful. Not everyone reading that will agree. This wasn’t the year any of us planned, but you’re still here. That’s a reason to be thankful. You did what had to be done to keep moving forward. That’s another reason. Ask family and friends on Thanksgiving what good things happened this year. I bet you’ll have a list that makes you feel thankful.

Joey Logano punches ticket to NASCAR Championship 4

BY COLE CUSUMANO Cronkite News

The Hollywood Casino 400 marked the beginning of the semifinal Round of 8 for the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs.

And with only two weeks remaining before a new champion is crowned, the once-blurry Cup Series playoff picture began to come into focus thanks to an unlikely winner at Kansas Speedway on Oct. 18.

Joey Logano followed a yellow brick road to victory in Kansas, outracing Kevin Harvick to the line and punching his ticket into the Championship 4 at the first Cup Series finale at Phoenix Raceway in Avondale.

The other three drivers to qualify for the Championship 4 are Chase Elliott, Denny Hamlin and Brad Keselowski.

And it allowed Logano the luxury to hone in on Avondale with two races, including a rain-delayed Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 500 at Texas Motor Speedway, before the championship weekend.

“The weight lifted off your shoulders is only part of it,” Logano said following his third win of the season, and his first since winning in March on the track where the championship race will take place Sunday, Nov. 8, at Phoenix Raceway.

“I’ve lived this story once, where

you’re not last minute trying to throw together a championship car for Phoenix, because you’re trying to build so many other ones,” Logano said. “It just gives the team time to really start focusing on a car that can put us in the position to win.

“If you only have so much time in the day, you got to prioritize. You’re going to prioritize to get yourself in the Championship 4 first. Now that we did that, we’re going to (give) 100% of our time to Phoenix.”

The Team Penske product put on a championship-caliber performance by holding off a hard-charging Harvick for 45 laps. From the beginning, Logano believed there were essentially two open slots available for the finale in Phoenix, given the dominance of Hamlin and Harvick during the regular season.

With three vacancies up for grabs, Harvick—the 2014 Cup Series Champion—was feeling comfortable with a 41-point lead but was edged out.

“I think everything has been pushed into the pile already,” Harvick said before a failed last-lap pass attempt Nov. 1 knocked him out of the championship. “All these cars are pretty much prepared throughout the next three weeks, with the travel to Phoenix, Texas and back to Martinsville. I feel good about that leading into next

week. We ran well at Phoenix. I think we just have to see how the chips fall in the next three races and see where it all ends up.”

While Logano had not won a race since NASCAR’s return from COVID-19 until Kansas, there is good reason for competitors to fear the presence of his No. 22 team at Phoenix.

The Connecticut native owns a series-best 2.7 average finish at flat, 1-mile tracks using the same tires and low-downforce rules package that will be in play at Phoenix in 2020.

And he emerged with a victory in the

desert at the FanShield 500 at Phoenix Raceway’s March race. But despite Logano’s history in Avondale and as a two-time Cup champion, his new crew chief Paul Wolfe isn’t ready to celebrate just yet.

“I definitely think it’s somewhat of an advantage to us,” Wolfe said. “I look at it as, we feel like Team Penske’s short track program is strong. The stats are good there for the short tracks for all our cars. ... There’s nothing about it that’s going to be easy, but we’ll take every little advantage we can. If giving us two extra weeks is it, we’re going to take it.”

NASCAR driver Joey Logano said securing a spot in the Championship 4 means a weight is “lifted off your shoulders.” (Photo courtesy NASCAR. com)

Verrado’s Frye eager for second shot at state title

BY GRIFFIN FABITS

West Valley View Contributing Writer

Zach Frye was cruising.

Playing in the first state golf tournament of his young career one year ago, Frye, then a junior at Verrado High School, was wildly exceeding his own expectations through the first 27 holes.

He was two-under par, on the heels of the state’s top golfers, and positioning himself nicely for a top-15 finish.

Not bad for a kid whose golf career was still somewhat in its infancy and who had little experience playing in tournaments.

He had done little to prepare for this, unsure of what to really expect, but here he was, on his way to a fantasy finish.

Then, dehydration settled in. Nerves quickly followed. His second and final round ended in disaster, with Frye limping—physically and mentally— through the final few holes.

“And it was the best thing that could’ve happened for me,” Frye said.

His preparation for last year’s tournament has given him an entirely new

perspective on how to approach the tournament this year. And for his second go-around at a chance for a state title, Frye is at ease heading into the Division II Boys’ Tournament, set for Wednesday and Thursday, Nov. 4-5, at the Omni Tucson National Resort.

“If I can simplify it, if I don’t get ahead of myself, I think I can play well,” said Frye, now a senior. “I can’t overthink it. There’s no overthinking involved. If I overthink it, I start to put pressure on myself, and I think pressure is the worst thing you can do.”

He was simply content that he qualified for the state tournament last year, but the tone has since shifted.

“I’m definitely a lot more confident.

I’ve played in a lot of tournaments lately,” he said. “I started off kind of slow this season, but things have gotten a lot better and I feel really well about my chances.”

The evidence backs up Frye’s cool-headed claim. In 12 matches this season, he averaged 35.5 strokes per nine holes in competition. He’s shaved

more than eight strokes off his game since his freshman year, when he first began playing.

Playing golf was an idea his father had proposed. It was another sport to try, another activity to pick up, and Frye obliged.

“I didn’t think it was going to take me this far,” he said. “I didn’t have any expectations going into it. I picked up on it, and I picked up on it faster than most people, which is awesome. I’m super blessed to be able to have that ability to go out and do that.”

Golf quickly became natural to him. It’s as if the two were always meant to intertwine. He was immediately charmed by the game’s complexity, its slow pace, its nuances. Each time out on the course, or even just through a session at the driving range, Frye saw improvements. He saw a process coming together. He saw results.

“I just got hooked.”

His budding love for the game, coupled with the steady improvements he’s made, has opened the door to playing in

college. But the coronavirus pandemic has challenged that process, as recruiting in the current times is largely limited. College visits and meeting with coaches is all but nonexistent now.

Frye will likely play at a local community college first, with intentions to hit the reset button in a year or two in hopes of transferring to a university.

“I just want to get my feet wet. I want to get that college experience in. It’s an awesome building block to get to the next level.”

A solid showing this week at the state tournament would be a poetic finish to a pleasantly surprising high school career.

It’d also be the beginning of a new chapter, one that could see Frye carrying this success and enjoyment over to the collegiate level.

“I saw that through hard work and determination, that you can get to a certain point if you really want to. I just think anything is possible with hard work, so hopefully I can go out there and get it done.”

There are several NASCAR-related events, including: • The Avondale Championship Open Charity Golf Tournament at 8:20 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 4, at the Wigwam Golf Resort, 451 N. Old Litchfield Road, Litchfield Park. With scores of golfers engaged in a good-natured tournament, the event benefits the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Valley’s Tri-City West/Thornwood Branch.

• NASCAR Championship mural

unveil at 4:15 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 5, at the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Valley Tri-City West/Thornwood Branch, 301 E. Western Avenue, Avondale.

Local artist Jeremie “Bacpac” Franko, also known as “The Punk Painter of Phoenix,” was commissioned to paint a large outdoor mural on the side of the Tri-City West/Thornwood Branch building to commemorate the first-ever NASCAR Championship Weekend in the Valley of the Sun. Representatives from Phoenix Raceway, city of Avondale and the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Valley, along with children from the Boys & Girls Club, will be on hand to officially unveil the mural.

A Sept. 10 “first putt” kicked off the rebranding of the Avondale Mayor’s Cup as the Avondale Championship Open, to be held Nov. 4. Other NASCAR-related events include the unveiling of a mural by Jeremie “Bacpac” Franko and a surprise driver appearance. (Photo courtesy Boys and Girls Club)

dale. Phoenix Raceway will unveil a 175-foot-tall sky projection similar to those seen at past Super Bowl events.

The sky projection will showcase the NASCAR Championship Weekend logo, trophies, racing action and tunein information.

• Driver appearance at a West Valley school Friday, Nov. 5. Fifteen-year-old driver Jesse Love will surprise students

when he drives up in a race car branded with NASCAR Championship logos. Love will also visit with students in the classroom to speak with them about racing and the importance of education.

The Litchfield Park Festival of Arts is back WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | NOVEMBER 4, 2020

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

The 50th Annual Litchfield Park Festival of Arts is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, and Sunday, Nov. 8.

The event is presented by the city of Litchfield Park and Vermillion Promotions.

Admission is free at this dog-friendly event.

One thing required for admission: a mask (in keeping with Maricopa County requirements).

The festival will be staged at Old Litchfield Road and Wigwam Boulevard.

The weekend of music and art features more than 150 fine artists and artisans from the Southwest states and California.

Musical guests include Inka Gold, Bluesman Mike and the Blues Review Band, Patrick Ki, HB Acoustic and Karen’s Corner Piano.

The festival’s featured artist is Leslee Adams, “The Watercolor Chef” (lesleeadams.com). Adams’ “Desert in Bloom II” painting is featured on this year’s 50th anniversary poster. Adams will be selling signed, limited-print posters at the festival for $25.

The musicians will be stationed in various locations throughout the festival. In a unique twist, rather than performing on a main stage, each will be playing from their own booths and interacting with festivalgoers all weekend long.

SUDOKU TIME

The idea of Go Figure is to arrive at the figures given at the bottom and right-hand columns of the diagram by following the arithmetic signs in the order they are given (that is, from left to right and top to bottom). Use only the numbers below the diagram to complete its blank squares and use each of the nine numbers only once.

EVEN EXCHANGE

by Donna Pettman

Place a number in the empty boxes in such a way that each row across, each column down and each small 9-box square contains all of the numbers from one to nine.

DIFFICULTY THIS WEEK H H

H Moderate HH Challenging HHH HOO BOY!

Each numbered row contains two clues and two answers. The two answers differ from each other by only one letter, which has already been inserted. For example, if you exchange the A from MASTER for an I, you get MISTER. Do not change the order of the letters.

SCRAMBLERS Unscramble the letters within each rectangle to form four ordinary words.

Then rearrange the boxed letters to form the mystery word, which will complete the gag!

Buckeye Elementary district to begin ‘A/B schedule’ this week

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

The Buckeye Elementary School District will begin an “A/B schedule” Nov. 5.

The district noted Oct. 30 Maricopa County data showing the district is in “moderate risk” for COVID-19, “with hybrid-onsite support being the recom-

mended model by county health service.”

“However, we are moving forward with an increase of in-person services, while still allowing for appropriate mitigation strategies,” the district stated in a Facebook post.

The new schedule begins Nov. 5.

“The A/B model provides the opportunity to expand the number of students on campus at each site, in a safe manner,” according to the district. “This is accomplished by reducing the total number of students on campus daily to approximately 50% of the school’s population.”

Each school will divide its students into two groups.

The groups will alternate days of inschool and remote learning.

As in districts around the state, students are required to wear masks.

Leonardo Hurtado

Leonardo Hurtado, of Avondale, Arizona passed away on October 18, 2020 in Goodyear, Arizona. He was born on September 9, 1927 to Guillermo Perez and Maria de Jesus Salas in Turner, Kansas.

Funeral services were held on October 28, 2020 at St. John Vianney Church, 539 E La Pasada Blvd, Goodyear, AZ. To view the full obituary and leave condolences for the family please go to http://www.thompson funeralchapel.com/obituary/leonardo-hurtado/

Ronald A. Schlosser Schlosser, Ronald Andrew (1945-2020) 74, of Buckeye AZ, passed away peacefully in his sleep after a hard-fought battle with pancreatic cancer on October 14, 2020. Ron was born on November 5, 1945. He graduated from Carl Hayden High School, earned his B.S. Degree in Agriculture at ASU and was a member of ASU’s foundation class entering its new College of Law in September, 1967. Ron earned his J.D. Degree in Law graduating in ASU’s charter class of 1970.

Other than practicing law for almost 30 years (in which he proudly earned his nickname “The Bulldog” by a Judge), Ron worked from the early age of 12 as a farm laborer, meat packer, ranch hand, feedlot manager, farmer, dairyman, amongst many other things along the way.

After he retired from the law practice at age 53, he travelled extensively with his wife of 54 years, Pam. They travelled the globe together, touching all 7 Continents, including Antarctica. He also went on countless other trips and excursions with family and friends creating a lifetime of great memories.

His other great passion was reading. He loved to read, literally reading thousands of books. Books and reading were so important to him that he bought hundreds and hundreds of books for family and friends over the years, affectionately calling it “Ron’s book club”. He let anyone and everyone know that he would gladly buy them any book that they wanted or needed for either pure enjoyment or education.

He was diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer in April, 2020. After enduring 3 rounds of chemotherapy, in typical trial attorney fashion, he said that he damn sure knew how to fight, but he was also smart enough to know when it was time to settle. During his initial visit with the Hospice social worker, she asked him how he felt about his terminal diagnosis. He told her that “it is what it is” and that “every once in a while someone comes along and just kicks you right square in the old pancreas.” He also told her, in his opinion, that “it’s better to go out with a grin and not with a grimace.” She also asked him whether or not he had served in the military. He responded by saying “no, I never served in the military but I was in the ROTC at ASU, and I’m proud to say that in those two years ASU was never attacked!”

Ron was preceded in death by his parents, Art and Martha Schlosser as well as his oldest brother Ted. He is survived by the love of his life, Pam, older brother Tom, his son Luke (Dina) Schlosser and daughter Lisa (Vinny) Ciulla. He is also survived by five grandchildren, Stephanie (Zak) Martin, Justin Schlosser, Gabriella Ciulla, Jake (Alex) Ciulla, and Luke Ciulla as well as three great-grandchildren, Shane Martin, Scarlett Martin and Victor Lucas Martin (due in January).

Ron wanted to personally thank everyone for their love and friendship over the last 75 years. He requested that no memorial service be held because he is at peace now with a big grin on his face and simply wants everyone to go about their daily lives with a big smile on their face. In lieu of flowers, the family would prefer (and cherish forever) a hand-written note sharing a special memory you had with him. Please send them along with any condolences to P.O. Box 340 Litchfield Park, Arizona 85340. Please make any donations in his name to Hospice of the Valley or any reputable Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund or Foundation.

He was not only a great person and good friend to many, he was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He definitely wore his own kind of hat. He will be sorely missed and never forgotten. He fought this terrible cancer with all his might. He was tough as nails. He was always helping those in need all the way to the end. His favorite quote was “seldom look down on a person unless you are reaching down to give them a hand up.” He taught us all how to live life to the fullest and went out on his own terms with a big ole’ grin on his face and a thumbs up. We will love you forever and always. RIP Bulldog.
