Pickleball craze grows PebbleCreek club in Goodyear boasts 1,100 members

by Kathleen Stinson staff writer

The sport of pickleball is growing in popularity in the West Valley.

In 2007, the PebbleCreek community in Goodyear had 20 pickleball club members.

Today, it has about 1,100 members.

Pick any good weather day of the week and the courts are packed at PebbleCreek. Drop-in courts, where a single individual can get space to play first come, first in, are equally popular.

The craze for the sport reflects a national trend.

The USA Pickleball Association counts 200,000 pickleball players and 9,863 pickleball courts in North America, according to its website.

“Currently, the sport of pickleball is exploding

in popularity,” as stated on the USAPA site. “The number of places to play has nearly doubled since 2010.”

The relatively young sport was invented one afternoon in1965 by three men who were looking for something to do and had only a badminton court and not enough rackets, according to the site.

The men “improvised” and instead started playing with ping-pong paddles and a plastic ball with holes, and the sport was born, according to the USAPA. The game was invented by the late Joel Pritchard, former congressman from Washington State, and his friends, the late Bill Bell and Barney McCallum.

State seeks to seal pleadings in freeway shooting case

by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

Prosecutors in the freeway shooting case are asking a judge to seal all future documents filed with the court so the case against Leslie Merritt Jr. isn’t played out in the media, court records state.

A motion filed Jan. 26 by Deputy County Attorney Vanessa Losicco states the prosecution is seeking to “maintain the integrity of the evidence and keep the jury pool untainted.”

“As long as documents filed in this court are public, there is a high likelihood that the preservation of both evidence and the jury pool will be compromised,” the Leslie Merritt motion states.

The state argues that every pleading filed by either party has been “dissected by the media, quoted by the media, commented on by the media, become part of the nightly news and countless websites.”

At the beginning of the case, the judge ordered

that counsel on both sides refrain from commenting publicly about the case.

The media is allowed to RELATED STORY record during each court appearance, which the state  Defense asks claims is a good alternative to judge to return releasing pleadings. case to grand Despite prosecutors’ stating jury/3 the motion is an attempt to get a fair trial for Merritt, the defense attorneys are against sealing records, according to a response filed Jan. 28.

“It is noteworthy that the state is not seeking a protective order … but rather to decimate Arizona’s well-established Public Records Law … without legal support or authority,” defense attorneys Jason Lamm and Ulises Ferragut wrote.

The defense claims the state has had no problem using written pleadings for its own benefit so far, including a recent document filed by the state that had complete transcripts of the interview conducted with Merritt by detectives after his September 2015 arrest.

“Why did the state do so? Clearly, it was to inject this information into the public record, and, more importantly, to the salivating media, which awaited its release,” the defense states.

The president of Estrella Mountain Community College is crediting the faculty and staff with creating a campus culture that led the West Valley school to make the list of the top 150 two-year colleges in the nation.

EMCC was named to the Aspen Institute’s College Excellence Program’s list for the fourth time in January.

“It’s a recognition of the work we’ve been doing to help our students be successful,” President Ernie Lara said.

Lara said EMCC’s faculty and staff are responsible for creating an environment for student success.

“They are the ones who make a difference,” he said.

The award recognizes high achievement and performance after examining community colleges’ data on student outcomes.

Among the factors considered are graduation rates, something EMCC has improved upon in recent years, according to Rene Willekens, the college’s dean of institutional research.

In 2015, the college had 966 graduates, up from 565 in 2012, Willekens said.

Lara said graduation is a goal that’s a focus of campus programs that connect students to the school’s resources, such as the Student Success Fair held during spring semester.

Another program, Engage Estrella, pairs students with faculty and administrators who act as mentors.

“We have a lot of TLC, which is teaching, learning and caring,” Lara said.

The Aspen Institute, an education and policy studies group based in Washington, D.C., selected the prize-winning colleges from a pool of more than 1,000 public two-year colleges.

EMCC is one of eight Maricopa Community Colleges that made the Aspen Institute’s list, but it’s the only one that’s been on the list each of the four times the award has been made since it was established in 2011.

Other Maricopa Community Colleges on the list are Phoenix College, Chandler-Gilbert, Gateway, Mesa, Paradise Valley, Scottsdale and South Mountain community colleges.

Among Arizona’s 11 other community colleges, Cochise College in Douglas made the list.

Willekens noted that Arizona was well represented on the list, since the Aspen Institute will only recognize up to half of a state’s community colleges.

The top 150 colleges will compete for the 2017 Aspen Prize for Community College Excellence and $1 million in prize funds.

Nearly half of America’s college students — 7 million youths and adults — attend community colleges, according to the Aspen Institute.

Lara said the award can be used as a tool to recruit students.

“We want to get the word out to our students and potential students that they can be successful if they come here,” he said.

Estrella Mountain Community College opened in 1992 as the Maricopa system’s 10th college.

The college’s Avondale campus and Buckeye Learning Center enrolled about 9,000 students last semester. About 70 percent of Estrella’s students attend college part time, Willekens said.

In March, the college will open the Western Maricopa Education Center in Buckeye in a partnership with WESTMARC, the Western Maricopa Coalition.

Craze (From Page 1) Pritchards’ dog Pickles who would chase the ball and run off with it,” according to the USAPA site.

Pickleball courts look like mini tennis courts at first glance. They are much smaller, contain a net at the ground and the ball is hit across to the other court.

But pickleball is different from tennis in many ways, players say.

Mark Clark, a member of the PebbleCreek Pickleball Club, said one difference is Pickleball is a more “social game” and “has a lot of camaraderie.”

Another member of the PebbleCreek club, Jane Steele, who moved to the community three years ago, said, “I play with a group of women. It is very social.

I have met so many people out here [playing the game]. These people have become my friends.”

She said people laugh and joke with each other and “stop and talk between games.”

Club member Barbara Brace said the social aspect of the game accounts for some of its popularity, but it’s also a “great sport for the aging.”

The game is not as strenuous as some other games and yet “great exercise,” she said.

Also, it is easy to find someone to play with, she added.

An individual can go to the drop-in court, put his or her paddle in the bucket and wait in turn to play with a group, she said.

“I think pickleball is easy to learn, fun, social and it’s the being outside,” said Gail Raymond, another club member.

People laugh a lot when they play, Raymond said.

“It’s lighter than tennis,” she said. “It’s easier to play, easier to find players to play with and you can do drop-ins.”

People with disabilities “figure out a way to play,” she added.

Players say the game can be learned quickly and it can be played at all levels.

“It has a real high learning curve — anybody can play,” Clark said.

Another club member, Pam Harrington, said the pickleball courts are full day and night, except when it rains or the

temperatures are high.

PebbleCreek has 20 courts and is constructing a new patio for players to sit.

The sport does not take as much strength as tennis, is played on a smaller court and is “more of a skill — eye-hand coordination versus ability to be a power player [as in tennis],” Harrington said.

PebbleCreek Pickleball Club president Pat Murphy is also a USAPA ambassador.

Murphy said pickleball has grown “pretty fast in the last three to four years.”

He said he thinks it has something to do with so many people moving to the community and with the “camaraderie and fun of the game.”

Ron Wilks is the facilitator of the Estrella Pickleball Club and a USAPA ambassador.

“I got into the sport because it is amazingly social and a heck of a lot of fun to play,” Wilks said.

The Estrella community in Goodyear has four courts and the pickleball club is composed of about 60 members — young, middle aged and seniors.

Some time ago, the Estrella homeowners association converted one of its tennis courts

into four pickleball courts to accommodate the growing club, Wilks said.

“Pickleball is geared towards seniors, but that is changing,” he said.

“There is a hotbed for pickleball in Arizona.”

Several tournaments are held in the Valley on an ongoing basis, he said. In the West Valley, tournaments take place at Sun City Grand, Happy Trails Resort in Surprise, Sun City West, Sun City, PebbleCreek and the Sundance adult community in Buckeye.

Litchfield Park and Avondale have open clubs. The Estrella and PebbleCreek clubs are for their residents.

The inaugural PebbleCreek Pickleball Club tournament will be held Feb. 10-12.

It will become an annual event, according to the club’s press release.

Admission is free and the game starts at 8 a.m. each day.

The tournament will include various skill levels in men’s, women’s and mixed doubles, according to the release.

Defense attorneys in the freeway shooting case are once again urging a judge to return the case to the grand jury for a new probable cause determination, according to a pleading filed Jan. 29.

It’s the second time Jason Lamm and Ulises Ferragut are making the request.

In the first motion, filed Dec. 4, 2015, they stated Leslie Merritt Jr., 21, has an alibi for the crimes and that cell phone location data, his employment records and his fiancée’s statements to detectives are evidence that was improperly withheld from the grand jury.

The state responded Jan. 8 in a 167page document with evidence to support current charges against Merritt. The former Avondale resident faces 15 felony counts, including aggravated assault, unlawful discharge of a weapon and disorderly conduct.

Lamm and Ferragut dispute the state’s response and claim prosecutors are downplaying evidence simply because it doesn’t fit their theory of the case.

“Perhaps most patently offensive is the fact that the response material deviates

from the theory of the case presented to the grand jury insofar as it changes the allegations of when one of the shootings occurred,” the defense attorneys stated.

Merritt is charged with four shootings, three that allegedly occurred on Aug. 29, 2015, and a fourth, which the state now says happened sometime between Aug. 22 and Aug. 27.

“It is curious to note, however, that from a review of the grand jury transcript, the state offered no evidence that the fourth incident occurred on any date other than Aug. 27, 2015,” the defense states.

Another point of contention is which cell phone Merritt used on a day-to-day basis and whether or not it excludes him from being in the area of the shootings.

According to the state’s response, a spare cell phone cited by the defense is mostly used by Merritt’s fiancée. The defense disputes it was actually used by Merritt and that records from the phone place him in Glendale, miles away from the shootings, within minutes of when they occurred.

Additionally, the defense claims Merritt’s employment records further corroborate the FBI-generated cell phone

GPS data and his alibi that he was in the area of 99th Avenue and Bell Road at the time of the fourth incident.

“The state’s failure to produce this information constitutes a further violation of the defendant’s rights to due process and warrants ordering a new probable cause determination,” the defense states.

The state’s response had concluded Merritt’s supervisor couldn’t confirm when he worked during the week of the shootings and that he admitted to not keeping copies of his workers’ time cards like he was supposed to as their supervisor.

Finally, the defense claims detectives threatened and intimidated Merritt’s fiancée during her interview, causing her to retract statements that she was always with him when he wasn’t working.

“Her complete statement, and the nefarious manner in which detectives got her to change it, bears direct relevance and is clearly exculpatory to the issue of whether the individual being investigated was the one who committed the crimes alleged,” the defense stated.

Merritt is being held on $150,000 bond.

He is due back in court Feb. 19.

(From Page 1) “All of this was done to portray the defendant as a seriously dangerous criminal and get out the facts that it wanted the public to know.”

Furthermore, when the freeway shootings were still under investigation, the Arizona Department of Public Safety held frequent news conferences to discuss the progress of the case, the defense states.

“Law enforcement updated the media, on camera, multiple times a day, clearly having no concern whatsoever about the effect that the dissemination of this information could have on a potential jury pool and future defendants,” the defense states.

The defense’s response also points out that moments after Merritt’s arrest, Gov. Doug Ducey tweeted, “We got him.”

“While the defendant appreciates the state’s newfound concern for his wellbeing, he has strong faith that his counsel are more than capable of advocating for him, and that the court will take the necessary steps to make sure that an impartial jury can be seated and that he receives a fair trial,” the defense states.

TUHSD school bus rear ended by car Westview students not seriously injured

by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

A Tolleson Union High School District bus was rear ended at about 7:15 a.m. Jan. 29 as it was taking students to Westview High School in Avondale, officials said.

The bus was traveling west on Encanto Boulevard, approaching 107th Avenue when it was hit from behind by a car, said Karyn Morse Eubanks, a district spokeswoman.

A woman and a 15-year-old who were in the car were transported to separate hospitals with minor injuries, said Division Chief Ben Avitia, a spokesman for Avondale Fire-Rescue.

A number of students were evaluated at the scene, but not transported to the hospital, Avitia said.

Two students were released to their parents, and the remaining students were loaded onto a different bus and taken to school, he said.

“A few of the students, particularly the ones sitting in the back of the bus, complained that their back was a little sore,” Morse Eubanks said. “The parents of all of

Semitrailer driver ejected in I-10 crash

Interstate 10 was backed up for miles in both directions Jan. 28 after a semitrailer rolled over and landed on top of a mid-size SUV at about 2:30 p.m. in the eastbound lanes at Avondale Boulevard, officials said.

The driver of the semitrailer was ejected from his vehicle and landed in the westbound lanes of traffic. He was transported to Abrazo West Campus in Goodyear with serious injuries, although he was awake and alert, said Division Chief Ben Avitia, a spokesman for Avondale Fire-Rescue.

The driver of the SUV was evaluated on scene and was not transported to the hospital, Avitia said.

A DPS trooper who was parked on the inside shoulder of eastbound I-10 was also struck with debris and transported as a delayed patient to Banner Estrella Medical Center in west Phoenix for evaluation, he said.

Fire crews also had to contain and mediate through a fuel spill on the freeway from the semitrailer, Avitia said.

Three units from the Goodyear Fire Department also responded to the accident. It was initially reported that one of the vehicles was on fire, but no fire was found by the first arriving crews, said Training Division Battalion Chief Ed Pahl, a spokesman for Goodyear Fire.

Man shot in Phoenix home invasion View report

A 28-year-old man was shot during a home invasion Jan. 26 near 91st Avenue and Broadway Road, police said.

Phoenix police responded to a call just before 9 p.m. for unknown trouble, said Sgt. Vince Lewis, a spokesman for the Phoenix Police Department.

Five unknown men reportedly forced their way into a home to commit an armed robbery, he said.

One person was home at the time, but was not injured, Lewis said.

As the suspects made their escape, the 28-year-old arrived home and attempted to chase the men, at which point he was shot, he said.

His injury was not life-threatening, Lewis said.

The suspects fled the area, and the investigation is ongoing, he said.

New home construction has increased substantially this past year in parts of the West Valley.

The number of single family detached home permits issued has grown by 167 percent in Avondale, 31 percent in Goodyear and 48 percent in Buckeye.

In 2015, Buckeye issued 1,106 building permits for single family homes compared to 748 in 2014, according to information provided by the Home Builders Association of Central Arizona.

Avondale issued 123 permits for single family homes in 2015 compared to 46 in 2014, according to the HBACA. Goodyear issued 1,039 single family home permits in 2015 compared to 792 in 2014, according to Goodyear.

“There’s a lot of construction activity [in Goodyear] and we’re delighted to see it,” said Christopher Baker, director of development services for the city of Goodyear.

“Goodyear is a desirable place to live and has a high quality of life,” Baker said.

The city has been experiencing a “robust growth” in its employment sector, citing such employers as REI, which is opening a distribution center, Dick’s Sporting Goods and Sub-Zero, he said.

“Cancer Treatment Centers of America has been here for a number of years but they have been making improvements and continued investment to their facility,” he said. “SubZero is similar. They have been here a number of years and are continuing to make investments in their facility, which increase employment opportunities.”

The number of new employment opportunities in the city “does nothing but drive the demand for residential housing,” he said.

“We’ve seen an increase in new home construction this last year,” said Brett Harris, chief building official for the city of Avondale.

“I think the increase may be due to the economy turning around some,” Harris said.

Richmond American Homes, Courtland Homes, Beazer Homes and Elliott Homes are all building in Avondale, he said.

Brian Mings, director of land acquisition for Courtland Communities, which is building new homes in Avondale at Del Rio Ranch, said affordability is one factor that led them to build in Avondale, referring to the cost of land.

Another factor had to do with the city’s openness to “hearing different concepts for house plans,” Mings said.

An attached RV garage is a standard feature in Courtland’s house plan, he said.

“We felt this area was underserved for this product,” he said, noting Courtland is able to offer that kind of amenity at a middle class price point in Avondale.

“The market for new homes has been stronger in the last couple of years compared to what it was five years ago,” he said.

During the Great Recession, the demand for new homes dwindled because the inventory of used homes, especially foreclosed homes, had increased, he said.

Now, that inventory is significantly smaller and buyers are looking for new homes, he said.

“People want new homes … and the

New homes have updated amenities such as higher energy efficiencies that weren’t available a few years ago, he added.

Courtland is also building new homes in Surprise, in unincorporated Maricopa County near Peoria and in Phoenix, he said.

He said the infrastructure development in the West Valley with Loop 303 and Northern Parkway has contributed to the growth and therefore demand for new homes.

“Generally speaking, transportation spending has given a boost to the whole West Valley,” he said.

“Buckeye is doing rather well in the single family home market,” said Phil Marcotte, chief building official for the city of Buckeye. “We are experiencing great quality construction/design for the price, involving good land prices and desirable neighborhoods and community.

“We also have several builders that offer well-built starter homes, others with a great mid-range products/floor plans, higher end homes, as well as several age- oriented developments with plenty of amenities.”

OUR VIEWPOINT

CAGLE’S OPINION — PoliticalCartoons.com

EDITORIAL

Trump card or wild card?

When we first heard Donald Trump was skipping the final Republican presidential debate moderated by Fox News before the Iowa caucus, we thought it was political suicide.

We theorized that he was pulling the same move he’s pulled in the past — threatening to run for president of the United States and then pulling out, albeit much later in the game this time.

Or perhaps he didn’t want to jeopardize his lead over Ted Cruz after handily winning the previous debate.

Better to quit while ahead than risk a gaffe at a crucial moment.

Or maybe he just couldn’t stand the heat when confronted by Megyn Kelly who rubbed him the wrong way five months earlier when she dared to question if his sexist slurs might make the opposition see him as being part of the “war on women.” She was tapped, after all, to moderate the Jan. 28 debate and despite his pleas to Fox News to have her removed, the conservative media outlet refused to acquiesce.

But now we’re thinking it might just be the most brilliant move he (or his advisers anyway) has made.

After spending countless hours granting interview after interview on the news giant, what better time to distance himself from the most hated (by most Democrats, plenty of independents and even some Republicans) network?

While plenty argue that Republicans need to be in bed with Fox News if they want to have any chance of winning, let’s face it, it hasn’t done anything for the hopefuls the last two elections.

He doesn’t need Fox News anymore, he’s gotten everything he needs out of it, dominating the airwaves like none of his opponents have even come close to.

His Republican backers have already made their decision, now it’s time to gain favor from the independents, and what better way to do that than to tell Fox News to pound sand?

But we think that’s a prime example of playing the consummate politician — doing and saying anything to get elected.

Let’s not forget this is a man who very recently “saw the light” and turned to conservatism after spending most of his adult life as a Democrat.

He could have chosen either party’s ticket to run on, but he chose the GOP. We’re guessing it’s because it was the easier of the two knowing that Republicans are sick and tired of the status quo.

Republicans should think long and hard before casting their vote for the nominee.

Trump may be running as a Republican now, but that could all change during the general election.

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

L

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.

Proof Iran is cooperating Editor: Mr. Burmeister’s letter from Jan. 27th entitled “Where’s The Proof, Pat?” essentially made the weak-tea argument that, because he hasn’t personally seen proof that anyone has actually gone into Iran to verify they gave up all of their enriched uranium to build a nuclear bomb, that he bets it never happened, and he want’s to see proof.

He states (without proof) that Iran still has uranium, and he also states (without proof) that Russia will just give them all the enriched uranium they want, even though Russia is one of the countries who brokered this deal for Iran to give up it’s nuclear ambitions.

And he thinks I live in la-la land?

He proudly boasts he is “educated”, but somehow has forgotten how to do any research.

I assume he had to have learned how to do research at some point in order to get his education?

If he had even done a little research himself, he would have discovered the IAEA (the world’s nuclear watchdog group in charge of going into Iran to do the verification) actually did that, and released a statement Jan. 16th that Iran has completed the required steps it committed to; he would have found the article

by FoxNews called, “Kerry says Iran Has Completed Steps In Nuclear Deal”; he would have found articles from all the other networks as well as statements by the White House about it; and he would have found President Obama mentioning it during his State Of The Union address.

He might have even discovered the conversations and article links about it, in the onlinecomment section of The West Valley View’s website, under the Letters To The Editor.

Apology required Editor: After reading der letter “Terrorists fed by paranoia” WVV Jan13, 2016, I Heinrik Bimmler, longed for der vundebar days of yesteryear ven mein old kamerad Josef Goebbels, Minister of Popular Enlightenment and Propaganda or, “Joe der gob” as ve in der party kalled him, had der absolute kintrol of der press.

Kamerad Flimflam iz korrekt, ve are being fed by zeze viked naughty konservative type right ving agitators.

Ve, like Herr Flimflam, are der Herrenmenschen, they are der Untermenschen.

Indeed anarkists like Wayne LaPierre and his 5 million followers should be disarmed and thrown into der konzentration lagers just as ve of der Nationalsozialistiche Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, (NAZI) did to der so kalled ‘Freedom lovers’ in der 1930’s.

Seriously folks, Mr. Flimflams comparing freedom loving conservatives and members of the NRA, many of whom are police officers and members of the armed forces, to Islamic terrorists is one of the most vitriolic pieces of crap that this publication has ever printed My own son, a proud United States Marine fought and witnessed the barbarity of the same Islamic terrorists in Afghanistan.

He and many of his fellow marines are also proud NRA members.

Daily they risk their young lives to give Mr. Flimflam and his ilk, the freedom of The First Amendment to make a “comparison ” of them, to a group of animals who rape, torture, decapitate, crucify and burn young enemy pilots to death, all while recording their atrocious deeds for posterity.

How dare he.

In my opinion, the author of “Terrorists fed by paranoia” owes us all an unconditional apology for his inflammatory rhetoric.

With respect.

McCOY’S OPINION — Cagle Cartoons

(From Page 6)

What they spend on political issues, 2 or 3 Billion is pin money. A beer had with friends on the way home from work.

Between them they are worth 90 Billion dollars. Every top leader and some commissioners in our state has been recipients of their largess. They think they are being patriotic. They have been for over 30 years systematically realigning and gerrymander state voting districts so it becomes harder and harder to get rid of an incumbent. They have been supporting the various pledges such as Norquists Pledge not to raise taxes and created Faustian choices for our law makers. If a law maker does act independently then their lackeys issues edicts to their subordinates or just stops supporting them with finances. I.E. Look at what they are trying to do with McCain comes to mind.

To remedy this situation, let us do away with a primary system that requires us to vote by party affiliation. So all parties could vote. The top two or three go to the general election. Hopefully that would make everyone’s vote count again. That is not what is happening now. There are ways to pervert this method but it might be more transparent. What do you think?

The majority of public officials, including elected officials, take no heed of what those they are supposed to be serving want or need. Indeed they are most concerned with what they can do to keep their job. I would venture to say that all public officials have this in mind whenever they do anything.

There are some, albeit very few, who try to do what is expected of them. Those who are our representatives in congress and in the legislature come foremost to mind. We entrust these people with our Republican form of government. We trust them to abide by their oaths of office and the Constitution. Even more than that we trust them NOT to lie to us about what is happening in our country, our government and the world — big mistake.

Keeping us informed and listening to our points of view is obviously low on their priority list. I have signed up for their email newsletters. To date only 2 have consistently published meaningful and timely information, Congressman Doug Lamborn of Colorado and former Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin.

When I have contacted senators and representatives the best I have gotten in reply to problems I have needed help with, including the VA here in Phoenix, is a form letter and once a follow-up from a local office assistant. Some, like Senator McCain, I get only a form letter which barely relates to the problem addressed and no follow-up at all.

So I agree it is akin to letting the fox guard the henhouse evinced by lies being their greatest ally in getting reelected.

Voting for Kelli Ward

John Sleeper Goodyear

Editor: I’ve decided that I will vote for Kelli Ward! Yes, I’m a registed Republican, but I have never voted for John McCain.

I guess it is my idea of what a Conservative Republican truly is!

For me, Senator McCain doesn’t fit my description of a True Conservative.

Also, many people got in habit of voting for McCain, because he was a war hero. Is being shot down by the enemy and surviving torture make one a hero? I never was in Vietnam, but my brotherin-law was and a good friend was.

They both fought the Vietcong on the ground, not from thousands of feet in the air. War is war, so I don’t have first hand experience.

Though fighting in a war doesn’t

mean that you will make a good Senator.

I don’t have big bucks, so I can’t help Ms. Ward with money.

But I can write letters to the Editors of Newspapers saying Vote Ward not McCain.

Bernard Oviatt Sr. Salome

There he goes again Editor: It’s fun watching Mr. Hammond deny he falsely equates “gun control” with banning all guns (and thus is unconstitutional), while he’s doing exactly that!

(January 6th & 20th) For example, raising the “red herring” of Senator Feinstein’s 1995 discussion about assault weapons, while ignoring what I wrote: The Supreme Court’s Heller decision says the Second Amendment allows gun control, but forbids a complete ban on all

guns. (December 23rd) I agree.

How is that “anti-gun”, sir?

Indeed, almost every time gun control is mentioned, he’s raised the Second Amendment in opposition. (More examples of Hammond doing this can be found in an online Comment accompanying this Letter.) But the Supreme Court says that we can “disarm” some people (not all of them). And one can be for both gun control and the Second Amendment, just not while holding the view that gun control equals banning all guns — a lie he tiresomely repeats.

Has he finally decided background checks are a “good thing”? That wasn’t what he stated earlier (September 11th). There he proclaimed “A universal background check system would lead to registration and confiscation”. Quite a change in tune. (Or does he only approve of limited, and therefore useless, background checks?)

Instead of falsely calling me a liar (evading and avoiding serious debate), he should

discuss what gun control laws and regulations we can have, and why. Start with those in Mr. Cable’s January 20th Letter.

That would be a productive discussion I’ll be happy to join.

(Who knows? We might agree on some things.)

P.S. — Sorry if he feels “slighted” because I didn’t respond to his July, 2014 Letter, but the View limits how much we can say, and how often we can submit Letters. Get me a weekly column and I’ll reply to every word he writes!

you had the challenge of strapping yourself to a giant rocket to go hurling into the sky at 25,000 mph.

Your adventure driving on I-10 could be considered equally treacherous.

Both stories are unique, but only one would build a connection between us. No, I haven’t been shot into space … yet. Each of our lives has all the elements of a great drama, comedy, romance, adventure, or a combination of all. This is where we find commonality. Something that binds us together or a chance to learn from each other. The next person you talk to could be the love of your life.

You might discover a kindred spirit, someone who can be a mentor or friend. Or, maybe you’re the mentor and friend someone needs in their life. The only way to discover this is to ask the next person you see about the reality of their life.

And, now for something completely different: March 26 is the Third Annual Fan Fest event at the Goodyear Ballpark. The Cincinnati Reds will host the Cleveland Indians during the day and the best baseball fan event will start shortly after the end of the game. It’s a great evening for baseball fans, kids and families.

HUNDREDS OF HOPEFUL anglers tease trout with all manner of bait during last year’s Winter Trout Derby in Litchfield Park. The annual event, put on by the Kiwanis Club and Litchfield Park, will be held Saturday at Tierra Verde Lake Park on Old Litchfield Road.

Get your reels ready Litchfield Park hosting annual Trout Derby

by Glenn Gullickson staff writer

Anglers will be lured to Litchfield Park for the city’s annual tradition of reeling in as many trout as possible.

The Kiwanis Litchfield Park Winter Trout Derby will be Saturday at Tierra Verde Lake.

About 650 to 700 anglers from around the state participated last year, said Tricia Kramer, special events coordinator in the city’s Community and Recreation Department.

“They can come with as many fishing poles as they like,” Kramer said. “Some will bring three or four poles.”

Those competing in the seven-and-a-half-hour View photo by Ray Thomas MARLEY GRJEGIAN, derby will be trying to 9, of Litchfield Park has catch trout from about her trout measured during 1,000 fish — an estimated last year’s Winter Trout 700 pounds — that the 4.5acre lake has been stocked Derby in Litchfield Park. with in the week before the event, Kramer said.

The fish supplier brings the trout from Colorado, she said.

Last year’s derby winner for most fish caught landed 21 fish, Kramer said.

Prizes are awarded for the longest and shortest trout.

The fish generally measure 8 to 17 inches.

Winners in categories for boys, girls, men and women will be presented trophies at the conclusion of the event.

While there’s fishing on the lake at other times, the derby is the only time when the lake is stocked with fish, Kramer said.

The fish are edible, and participants take their catches home to eat, she said.

The event has a longstanding sponsorship arrangement with the Litchfield Park Kiwanis Club, Kramer said.

Here are fishing derby details: • Registration starts at 6:30 a.m., with fishing starting at 7:30 a.m. and ending at 3 p.m. with the sound of a horn.

• A fishing license is not required to participate in the derby, but is necessary for those who plan to continue to fish after the event.

• Fishing is allowed only from the lake’s shore.

• Cost to participate is $4 per pole for those 15 years old and younger, $6 per pole for those 16 years old and older.

• Those participating should take their own equipment, including poles and bait. In the past, bait has included canned corn, salmon eggs, cheese, dough and lures.

• Boy Scout Troop 99 will be on hand to sell breakfast and lunch.

• Terra Verde Lake Park is at 301 S. Old Litchfield Road, Litchfield Park.

Here at Business Briefcase Headquarters, there’s a special appreciation for those in the yard architecture industry.

Your Briefcase host once spent a summer in high school on the landscaping circuit, so I understand the pain in screwing up someone’s grass. It makes the owner very unhappy, because apparently, that stuff takes weeks to grow back.

At least I was lucky enough to not have the entire world watching, though, unlike the NFL grounds crew dressing up Levi’s Stadium’s field for Super Bowl 50 in Santa Clara, Calif.

Those guys brought to life an old Snickers commercial by painting Shane McOwen the Denver Broncos logo on the wrong side of the field, and then painted it on the correct side, only for it to look like they’d put the team on both sides.

As the old guy who painted “Chefs” instead of

“Chiefs” in the commercial said, “Great googly moogly.”

Let’s get to the business news, shall we?

Main Event Entertainment has had its building and signage up for months in Avondale, and will officially open to the public Feb. 8.

Main Event fancies itself as a one- stop-shop for all things entertaining, an entertainment center if you will, and it’s hard to argue. The Avondale location, 10315 W. McDowell Road, south of McDowell and across from Harkins, will offer bowling, laser tag, billiards, gravity ropes, arcade games, food options and a full bar.

Personally, I think everyone should check out the gravity ropes. High above the floor, patrons are strapped in (safety first!) and are sent on their way across various beams and rope bridges. That’ll be the first thing I try when I undoubtedly stop by for a visit.

Main Event also offers birthday packages for adults and children alike, as well as corporate packages.

Companies can even rent out the entire facility.

While the full-scale opening is next week, Main Event is hosting a private grand opening celebration from 6 to 10 p.m. Saturday. Those interested in attending must send an RSVP request to avondaleopening@mainevent.com.

Space is limited, and a request does not guarantee entry

to the event, according to the company’s website.

This will be Main Event’s second location in Arizona, and 20th across the country.

The event center’s hours will be 11 to 2 a.m. Monday and Friday, 11 a.m. to midnight Tuesday through Thursday and Sunday and 9 to 2 a.m. Saturday.

For information, visit www.mainevent.com or call 623936-5300.

Staying in Avondale, Sunrise Donuts has been open for about a month at 13048 W. Rancho Santa Fe Blvd.

We’ve had a few boxes in the break room here at the West Valley View, and it’s pretty good stuff.

The shop is open from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.

For information, call 623-215-4772.

Oasis Furniture has had going out of business signs all around the West Valley since at least November 2015, the first time it was reported in the Briefcase that the furniture store was closing its doors. The signs have increased, both in quantity and message intensity, as the furniture retailer is expected to shut down within the next few weeks.

Oasis Furniture declined to supply an exact date for the store’s final day.

That’s all for this week, everyone. Take care.

The city of Goodyear this spring will begin constructing wells that use a cutting edge technology that makes it possible to turn reclaimed water into a drinkable water supply to be stored in the aquifer and used for future growth.

The city won a Top Project award for the technology in 2014 and another in 2015 from the editors of Water & Wastes Digest, a Chicago-based publication that covers water and wastewater industry trends.

The city’s wastewater is treated and cleaned at its reclamation plant to meet the highest standards of reclaimed water.

Although reclaimed water cannot be used for drinking, it can be used to water golf courses and other landscape, for example.

The Vadose Injection Wells, as the technology is called, will make it possible for the city to inject reclaimed water into the ground at well sites. By the time the water reaches the aquifer, it will be clean enough to pump out and use for drinking water should the city need the resource at some future time.

A Vadose Injection Well is a shallow well through which water is injected back into the ground where it can then percolate back into the groundwater system, according to the city.

“The reclaimed water, which is treated to the highest standards as a Class A+

effluent, is further cleaned as it percolates through the ground and joins with the groundwater aquifer,” said Mark Holmes, water resources manager for the city of Goodyear. “Therefore, the subsurface is acting like a water treatment plant.”

“When the city recharges its reclaimed water, it becomes a banked drinkable water supply for growth and drought firming,” Holmes said. “This renewable water supply will increase with new growth and ensuring that this water can all be banked under Goodyear within the aquifer will ensure a sustainable and reliable water supply.”

He said renewable water supplies are becoming a scarce resource in Arizona, especially in the West Valley with increased growth.

“To ensure that Goodyear is sustainably using its water resources and banking water for future shortfalls caused by drought, reclaimed water is recharged underground and banked for future uses,” he added.

The city plans to begin by constructing five of the wells, which will have the capability to inject into the ground slightly more than 43 billion gallons over 20 years — a volume of water that can serve 5,200 homes for 100 years, as stated in a city press release.

The total cost of the project is $2.85 million with the state permitting phase costing $350,000 and construction costing $2.5 million, according to the city.

remediation sites to avoid interfering with that process.

The 2015 Top Project was awarded to the city of Goodyear and the Phoenix Goodyear Airport South Superfund Remediated Water Line.

“This project was compelling because the city collaborated with federal, state, regional and local partners and provided a creative way to assist in Superfund cleanup efforts. It also emphasized saving taxpayer dollars,” Lisican said.

The city currently operates a 40-acre Soil Aquifer Treatment Recharge site at the northwest corner of Yuma Road and Estrella Parkway. The site has six basins that hold reclaimed water that percolates down through the ground and back to the water table, recharging it to the aquifer.

The injection wells will save the city money. The wells measure 10 by10 feet, far less space than the basins.

The wells will “keep costs down” in that they are a “relatively inexpensive” way to create a drinking water supply, Holmes said.

The well vaults are underground and will be covered with landscaping, he said.

The idea to use the wells in Goodyear came from city staff.

Carollo Engineers, a Phoenix-based firm, is designing the wells. The construction manager for the well project is Archer Western General Contractors, based in Phoenix.

The city received a $300,000 grant from the United States Bureau of Reclamation, which reduces the cost to the city to $2.5 million.

The city funding sources are a combination of development impact fees, water enterprise funds and sewer enterprise funds, according to the city.

“The greatest value for reclaimed water is to put it back underground in the aquifer and not on golf courses,” Holmes said.

“Reclaimed water is one of the only water supplies that is renewable.”

Arizona leads the way in preparation for future drought, Holmes said.

He said he does not know of any other states that use injection wells. Phoenix, Gilbert, Chandler, Scottsdale, Peoria, Surprise, Fountain Hills and Lake Havasu operate injection wells.

Elisabeth Lisican, managing editor of Water & Wastes Digest, said about the 2014 award that the Vadose Injection Project was “impressive for its commitment to sustainability and its mindfulness of sensitive environmental sites. The city strategically chose well locations to ensure rising water levels associated with the project did not impact the groundwater remediation activities at these sites.”

The injection wells allow the water to travel where the city chooses and away from Environmental Protection Agency

Steeped in tradition Buckeye Air Fair to showcase historic planes Goodyear hosting Cultures Folklife Expo Sat.

by Kathleen Stinson staff writer

The city of Goodyear is hosting the Art of Cultures Folklife Expo to celebrate the traditions and cultural heritage in the West Valley.

The expo will be from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Saturday at Loma Linda Park, 400 E. Loma Linda Blvd. in Goodyear.

Folklife is “more than ethnicity,” said Guylene Ozlanski, arts and culture coordinator for the city. “[It’s] any time a group has a shared sense of identity — it could be faithbased, could be occupationally or as simple as the Girl Scouts,” Ozlanski said.

“So we celebrate the traditions of those who live in the Valley as demonstrated by food, music, art and storytelling.”

Most of the artisans will provide an interactive activity, she said.

Kochyan Valley, a company that makes jewelry, will bring native dress from

Pakistan and Afghanistan and make that available to try on with the jewelry, she said.

One of the artisans, Purvi Gaylia, will demonstrate henna art.

Henna art is the application of a dye derived from plant leaves for the purpose of temporary tattooing on the body, according to hennaarts.com.

The second annual expo will showcase 30 artists as well as a clay demonstration, visual art activity tents, a classic car exhibition and also the Goodyear Mobile Museum.

All the artists have a tie to the West Valley, Ozlanski said.

Live performances will include Ballet Folklorico Esperanza, Raza Reggae and Mourning Fyre.

Other artists come from Catitude Art Gallery, Straight From the Ranch and White Shell Lady.

Arts, crafts and food will be available for purchase.

by Kathleen Stinson History is soaring into the skies this weekend during the annual Buckeye Air Fair from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the Buckeye Municipal Airport, 3000 S. Palo Verde Road in Buckeye.

Military vehicles and historic airplanes will be on display during the free event, along with police and fire vehicles and remote control planes.

A mini remote control air show will also be held from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.

“The Buckeye Air Fair is a family event to allow Buckeye and the surrounding community to experience aviation firsthand and showcase our local airport,” said Cheryl Sedig, community services director for Buckeye. “We’re proud of the airport and we want to let the people see it — it’s an open house for the airport.”

The city invited the Experimental Aircraft Association and also the Commemorative Air Force, which performs a “missing man formation,” said John McMahon, airport coordinator.

JEREMY ULM, a senior at Millennium High School in Goodyear, plays in the school’s band room. Jeremy was selected for the 2016 High School Honors Performance Series, which will be performed Feb. 7 at Carnegie Hall.

Millennium senior to play at Carnegie Hall Only 750 students chosen to take part in 2016 High School Honors Performance Series

by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

Jeremy Ulm’s passion for the French horn has landed him a chance to perform at Carnegie Hall in New York City, a venue that marks the pinnacle of musical achievement.

The Millennium High School senior was chosen out of more than 18,000 student applicants to take part in the venue’s 125th anniversary season this month.

He will be taking part in the High School Honors Performance Series, which is limited to only the highest-rated high school performers from across the world.

The series was created to showcase accomplished high school performers on an international level by allowing them to study under master conductors and perform in the celebrated venue.

“It’s really inspiring to see young adults that are working hard for those kinds of things and seeing all the hard work pay off,” said Brent Godbehere, director of bands at Millennium. “Jeremy is dedicated to the art and is constantly practicing. He manages his time very well, and is constantly committed to the program.”

Jeremy, 17, auditioned for the series last year and was accepted after a review by the selection board.

Almost 750 students selected will spend five days in New York City, learning from world-renowned conductors and then take part in a special performance Feb. 7 that’s open to the public.

“Working with these conductors and performing at Carnegie Hall is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that

these musicians never forget,” program director Morgan Smith said.

Jeremy has studied music for six years and is a member of the Phoenix Youth Symphony and the marching band and winter drum line at Millennium High School.

He’s also participated in Arizona’s regional and allstate honors ensembles, and attended Interlocken’s French horn summer institute.

“The challenge is definitely part of it,” Jeremy said about his love of the French horn. “It’s one of the more difficult instruments to play, and I think the tone and the expressive qualities of it are what really draw me to it.”

Jeremy also plays the piano and trumpet. He joined the band in middle school, because he didn’t want to take a physical education class, he said.

“I started getting serious about it probably sophomore year,” Jeremy said. “It’s really fun and a good way to get your feelings out and express yourself.”

He plans on dual majoring in French horn performance and music composition in college. While he isn’t sure yet what he wants to do for a career, it’ll definitely be related to music, he said.

“I couldn’t really see myself doing anything else,” Jeremy said. “I’ve never been as passionate about anything else other than music. It’s something that’s been consistently engaging.”

The Union Elementary School District is advertising for candidates to replace an interim superintendent whose temporary term was already extended almost two years.

The K-8 district, which operates three schools in west Phoenix, hopes to hire a new superintendent for the 201617 school year, according to Delson Sunn, Governing Board president.

The person hired will succeed Jim Rice, 67, who has been interim superintendent since August 2014.

“Truly, I’ve enjoyed it immensely,” Rice said. “It’s time for me to turn the reins over.”

After serving in the job for a year, Rice agreed to stay a second year, Sunn said.

“We thought we needed more time [with Rice],” he said.

Sunn said it was advantageous to have Rice continue in the role this fall when the district was going through a bond election just a year after voters had approved a budget override.

“We were afraid voters would think it was too much,” Sunn said about the bond issue, which was ultimately successful.

Rice said the district is financially set up for the future.

Rice, who has worked in education for 44 years, retired as superintendent of the Alhambra Elementary District in 2010, then served for three years as director of the principal initiative with the Rodel Foundation of Arizona, a nonprofit group dedicated to improving the state’s education system.

He also served as superintendent of the Gilbert Public Schools for several months in 2014 when that district had a gap in leadership.

In the Union job, Rice succeeded Pat Gillespie, who left unexpectedly after serving as superintendent for six years.

Under Rice’s leadership, the district has made progress in meeting state education standards, Sunn said.

“We’re pretty much close to being rated ‘A,’ but we still need a lot of work,” he said. “That’s where another superintendent would help us out.”

Sunn also credited Rice for hiring teachers, a task he said is difficult in Arizona because of salaries.

Rice is helping the board find a replacement, Sunn said.

“We’re looking for a superintendent interested in making Union Elementary their district to continue the good things that are going on,” Rice said.

He said the district will seek a “student-oriented” leader who works with teachers and has high expectations for pupil achievement.

While the district expects to find an Arizona candidate, Rice said there has been interest in the job from applicants around the country.

Applications will be accepted until March 1, with a selection in April, according to the job posting.

Rice said he’s undecided what he will do next, but he may be interested in an interim appointment in another district.

The Union Elementary School District has about 2,000 pupils in Dos Rios Elementary, a K-8 school; Hurley Ranch Elementary, a second- through seventh-grade school; and Union Elementary, a kindergarten and firstgrade school.

Verrado downs Agua Fria with big 2nd quarter Lady Vipers on path to top seed in section tourney

by Shane McOwen sports writer

It didn’t start out pretty, but Verrado’s girls basketball team (22-4) pulled away from Agua Fria (15-7) in the second quarter and came out on top of a slugfest Jan. 29, 51-32.

In fact, the beginning of the game was downright ugly.

Neither team scored in the game’s first 4:20, and the first quarter ended with nine combined points on the scoreboard.

GIRLS Verrado able BASKETBALL was to settle in and find the switch for its offense in the second quarter. The Lady Vipers outscored the Lady Owls 19-1 in the second, and were able to hold the sizable lead for the rest of the game.

“It was senior night, so you know we were a little more emotional in the beginning of the game,” Verrado coach Vernon Beard said. “Once they understood it was still a basketball game, we [were fine]. We knocked a couple of 3 balls down, defense started picking up.”

The Lady Owls’ tough start lasted the entire first half. Agua Fria went 0 of 7 from the field on its first three possessions, failing to cash in on multiple offensive rebounds. Agua Fria only scored five first-half points, and didn’t hit a shot from the floor in the second quarter.

“We had easy shots, that’s all we wanted all year,” Agua Fria coach Sam Polvino said. “We knew it was going to be a tough game, and we got the shots we wanted.”

Beard credited the Lady Vipers’ effort on defense for disrupting Agua Fria’s offensive game plan, he said. The defense

Cannon was held to three points before picking up her second technical foul in the third quarter, resulting in an ejection.

“Our defense ran a little bracket on their point guard,” Beard said. “Basically, the snake is no good if you cut its head off.”

Cannon received a technical in the second quarter after reacting to a foul call, and was then called for a second foul early in the third quarter after she hit the

ball while it was in the hands of a Verrado player trying to inbound. The infraction is an automatic technical, and since it was her second, she was disqualified for the remainder of the game.

Parker steps down from Westview

by Shane McOwen sports writer

Joe Parker stepped down as Westview’s head football coach Jan. 22 after the news that he and his wife are expecting their first child.

The baby is due in August, Parker said, which the same time football season gets under way.

“Typically, it’s not a super out-of-the-ordinary event, having a baby,” Parker said.

“We’ve been trying for a FOOTBALL long time; we got the news and it’s a life changer. I’m 40 years old now, and this is my first time dealing with it. I’m not sure I’ll have another opportunity. That’s where I’m at.”

After weighing his options, Parker decided to relinquish his coaching duties to make sure he would be able to help out once the baby was born, he said.

“It’s something I’m looking forward to,” Parker said.

“So many people don’t have the opportunity to take this time. I can draw back some of that time [coaching] and help with some of the day-to-day things. She’s going to take maternity leave, [but] when she’s done, there has to be extra time available. Not everyone has this opportunity, we do. I want to make sure my child is going to be a part of us.”

Westview Athletic Director Tonya Lee said it will be tough to replace Parker, but that he has the school’s backing.

“It was a hard meeting for all of us,” Lee said. “It was pretty cut and dry. He’s super excited to be a dad. After a lot of praying, he and his family decided that for him to be the best dad he wants to be, he’s probably not going to be able to coach full time this year.”

Lee said Parker’s personality is to be all-in while coaching, and something would have to give.

“He’s a grinder; he works hard every single day,”

“He’s been playing really well recently, and we need him to continue to do that,” Gutwein said of Brown.

Four straight points by Irvin Ornelas got the Vipers within three, 49-46, but they couldn’t convert on each of their next two possessions and Estrella was able to finish off the game.

Gutwein credited his team’s defense for playing a strong game.

“That’s been a staple of us the entire year, is that we guard,” Gutwein said. “I thought that we got off to a really good start defensively to begin the game, then we had some let ups and

gave up some dribble penetration, which is uncharacteristic of us. We typically don’t allow that type of dribble penetration, and that got them back into the game. But we got stops when we needed them in the guts of the game.”

Estrella closes out the season with a game Thursday at Cottonwood Mingus and Friday at home against Page.

The Vipers travel to Kingman Academy at 6 p.m. today for their final contest of the year. The Vipers are 11-6 in power-points games and ranked 14th.

“You hope they can learn from this, get to the tournament, maybe win a game — maybe do better than that, I don’t know,” Richardson said. “Then they can say, we learned a lot from that, it was worth it.”

Pain and or numbness in the legs and feet are common complaints. But to find relief for this often debilitating condition, you must first know the cause of the symptoms. It is important to remember that pain or numbness in the legs and feet are the symptoms of some other problems. And to find long-lasting relief of these symptoms, it is absolutely essential to identify the cause of the problem producing these symptoms. There are four major conditions that commonly produce pain and or numbness in the lower extremities. While the symptoms for all of these conditions are similar, the conditions must be treated quite differently. In fact, it is quite common for doctors to prescribe medications to treat the symptoms without ever looking into what is causing them in the first place. There’s virtually no chance of obtaining long-term relief from leg symptoms unless or until you identify and correct the cause. The nerves in the legs start in the lower back and travel all the way down to the tips of the toes. When these nerves become irritated, they produce various combinations of pain and or numbness in the legs or feet. But, the irritation may be in the lower back even though the patient complains of symptoms in the legs and feet. And in fact, you can also have no back pain at all, yet still have back-related symptoms in your legs or feet. If your treatment focuses on the legs and feet, there is very little chance of obtaining long[term relief of a problem that starts in the lower back. The three main causes of pain the legs that are actually associated with the lower back are spinal stenosis, sciatica and pinched lumber nerves. No amount of treatment aimed at the legs and feet will reduce the symptoms, if the problem truly is starting in the lower spine. Likewise, neuropathy are in the upper leg, doctors will misdiagnose the patient as having a problem in their lower back. If treatment of neuropathy is directed at the lower back there’s very little chance of a successful outcome and relief of symptoms in the feet. All four of these major causes have very different treatments.

So it should be obvious to you, the most important step of finding relief of the symptoms is finding which condition is causing them.

That is why I created the comprehensive Neuropathy and Spinal Stenosis Symptom Relief Project. If you’ve been suffering from debilitating low back, leg and or foot pain, I invite you to schedule a free consultation to review your MRIs and medical records. I believe it’s your best opportunity to find real relief of your foot, leg or lower back symptoms. So take advantage of this special offer!

Joe Parker stepped down as Westview’s head football coach Jan. 22 after the news that he and his wife are expecting their first child.

The baby is due in August, Parker said, which the same time football season gets under way.

“Typically, it’s not a super out-of-the-ordinary event, having a baby,” Parker said.

“We’ve been trying for a FOOTBALL long time; we got the news and it’s a life changer. I’m 40 years old now, and this is my first time dealing with it. I’m not sure I’ll have another opportunity. That’s where I’m at.”

After weighing his options, Parker decided to relinquish his coaching duties to make sure he would be able to help out once the baby was born, he said.

“It’s something I’m looking forward to,” Parker said.

“So many people don’t have the opportunity to take this time. I can draw back some of that time [coaching] and help with some of the day-to-day things. She’s going to take maternity leave, [but] when she’s done, there has to be extra time available. Not everyone has this opportunity, we do. I want to make sure my child is going to be a part of us.”

Westview Athletic Director Tonya Lee said it will be tough to replace Parker, but that he has the school’s backing.

“It was a hard meeting for all of us,” Lee said. “It was pretty cut and dry. He’s super excited to be a dad. After a lot of praying, he and his family decided that for him to be the best dad he wants to be, he’s probably not going to be able to coach full time this year.”

Lee said Parker’s personality is to be all-in while coaching, and something would have to give.

“He’s a grinder; he works hard every single day,”

Do you know the 4 major causes of pain and numbness in the legs and feet?

Pain and or numbness in the legs and feet are common complaints. But to find relief for this often debilitating condition, you must first know the cause of the symptoms. It is important to remember that pain or numbness in the legs and feet are the symptoms of some other problems. And to find long-lasting relief of these symptoms, it is absolutely essential to identify the cause of the problem producing these symptoms. There are four major conditions that commonly produce pain and or numbness in the lower extremities. While the symptoms for all of these conditions are similar, the conditions must be treated quite differently. In fact, it is quite common for doctors to prescribe medications to treat the symptoms without ever looking into what is causing them in the first place. There’s virtually no chance of obtaining long-term relief from leg symptoms unless or until you identify and correct the cause. The nerves in the legs start in the lower back and travel all the way down to the tips of the toes. When these nerves become irritated, they produce various combinations of pain and or numbness in the legs or feet. But, the irritation may be in the lower back even though the patient complains of symptoms in the legs and feet. And in fact, you can also have no back pain at all, yet still have back-related symptoms in your legs or feet. If your treatment focuses on the legs and feet, there is very little chance of obtaining long[term relief of a problem that starts in the lower back. The three main causes of pain the legs that are actually associated with the lower back are spinal stenosis, sciatica and pinched lumber nerves. No amount of treatment aimed at the legs and feet will reduce the symptoms, if the problem truly is starting in the lower spine. Likewise, neuropathy are in the upper leg, doctors will misdiagnose the patient as having a problem in their lower back. If treatment of neuropathy is directed at the lower back there’s very little chance of a successful outcome and relief of symptoms in the feet. All four of these major causes have very different treatments.

So it should be obvious to you, the most important step of finding relief of the symptoms is finding which condition is causing them.

That is why I created the comprehensive Neuropathy and Spinal Stenosis Symptom Relief Project. If you’ve been suffering from debilitating low back, leg and or foot pain, I invite you to schedule a free consultation to review your MRIs and medical records. I believe it’s your best opportunity to find real relief of your foot, leg or lower back symptoms. So take advantage of this special offer!

53-49. All of the Hawks’ other wins of late have been by 20 points or more.

“That was a big win,” Early said. “Knowing each other, them coming off a big win a couple nights before. Any section win is a big win.”

Buckeye is 3-0 in Division III, Section VI, a half game behind first-place Kingman. The Lady Hawks host Kingman at 7 p.m. today in a game that will determine the No. 1 team in the section.

Next week, the section tournament starts, and the week after is the state tournament.

“We talk about [playoffs],” Lamar Early said. “It’s one at a time, but we also let them know the sense of urgency, that you can’t have any letdown. Division III basketball is 67 teams and at the top, every team is undefeated or has one loss. It’s very competitive. Any team can be beaten on any given night. We’re 11-3 and 15th [in the rankings]. It’s going to be competitive all the way down to the wire.”

Buckeye finishes the season at 7 p.m. Thursday at Youngker.

“We’ve gotten ourself in a good position, but we’ve got to continue to get better as a team, and that’s what we’ve been telling them: ‘You’ve got to get better every practice, you’ve got to get better every game,’” Lamar Early said. “It’s showing.”

especially underneath the basket. Perez Amos was a menace inside, turning away several Yuma Catholic shots in the lane.

“We’ve been waiting for Perez all year long; I’ll take it now,” Barkey said. “If he’s going to play this good going into sectionals and the playoffs, I’ll take it.”

Buckeye led 55-42 after the first half, but Yuma Catholic started the third quarter with an 8-0 run. From there, it was tight the rest of the way. Brown had 11 of his team-high 25 points in the third quarter, which ended with the Hawks leading 75-68.

Buckeye took a hit in the fourth quarter when Jacob Jefferson fouled out, and the Hawks couldn’t get Yuma Catholic big man Daniel Callendar out of the game. Callendar was in foul trouble all night, and had four fouls in the fourth quarter, but he stayed in the

game and his defense was a difference maker in the final stanza.

“We got afraid of Callendar at the end,” Barkey said.

“He had four fouls and we were attacking him, and at the end, we didn’t attack him. We were attacking the basket, we didn’t attack his body. If we would have attacked his body, he would have been sitting along with Jefferson at the end of the game.”

Despite the loss, Buckeye is still 21-3. The Hawks have two games remaining, and sectional playoffs start next week. The loss to Yuma Catholic will serve as valuable experience as the Hawks move forward.

“We’re basically a sophomore- and junior-laden team, so to experience this type of atmosphere is going to get us ready for the next couple weeks,” Barkey said.

“It will be the first time in years we’ll be [in the state playoffs]. This was a playoff atmosphere, we had good support from our fan base, we just have to build on it.

We’ll be back.”

Westview’s boys soccer season came to an end Jan. 27, and while the campaign had some bumps along the way, the future looks bright for the Knights.

The team fell to Phoenix North Canyon in the season finale, 2-1, but scored a late goal and kept the intensity high until the final whistle.

“It was a rough time, but it was a growing year,” Westview coach Stephen Bower said. “We had a great batch of seniors that contributed a lot, but there’s an awesome future to look forward to.”

The Knights went 3-9-1 but improved as the season went on, and will return a big portion of the team next year, Bower said.

“It’s nice to see 16 returning varsity players for next year,” Bower said. “That’s a nice thing to hang your hat on. We progressed as the year went on. We played tougher competition in the second half of the season, came up short a lot of times, but it’s promising.”

Bower said he expects the returners to grow a lot over the next year, partly because the team will have a full offseason regimen. Bower wasn’t named coach until

Driver’s seat Verrado remained in the Division III, Section IV driver’s seat with the win. It’s atop the section standings thanks to a head-to-head tiebreaker with Glendale Cactus, and would earn a first-round bye in the section tournament with a top-two finish. “[Fewer] games is always going to be great [for avoiding injuries],” Beard said. “That’s definitely the goal, try and win the section, maybe get us a banner. I think we’re in a good place to continue doing the things we need to do.”

Beard said Duplain is a big reason why the team is in such good positioning for the home stretch.

“Nia, she’s leading the league in scoring, second in rebounds and third in assists,” Beard said. “She’s the epitome of what a senior captain is. If you looked in the dictionary under senior captain, you’d see a picture of

It kind of was up in the air leadership. about who was going to be coaching this year until about “He stepped up, played injured a lot, played out of October.

He was head The Knights have a bright future on the and shoulders above as a captain and horizon, and Bower credited the exiting senior class for did everything this team needed him to do, which was helping create an accountable culture.

Bower said he’s already excited to get the process “Obviously, it always sucks losing the seniors, but going to prepare for next season. that’s how school works,” he said. “That’s a testament to “The first one is in the books, and it’s exciting,” he who we were as a team this year.

Nia Duplain. She’s my coach on the court, she works us in practice, she wants to win every drill, she helps with the lower levels.”

Beard said the team’s defensive level is playoff ready.

The focus for the regular season stretch run will be offensive efficiency.

“There are no scrub teams in the playoffs,” Beard said. “Therefore, we have to understand what happens on the [second and third] pass, understand what our options are. Is everybody doing what they’re supposed to do to try and get us a quality look? Defensively, we’ll be OK. We’re in great shape, and as long as you’re in shape, you can play great defense. We still have to continue to play offense.”

The loss snapped Agua Fria’s six-game winning streak, but the Lady Owls are still in good shape for qualifying for the section tournament. Agua Fria sits in fourth place.

The top six teams earn spots in the tournament.

Polvino told his team it needed to quickly move on from the Verrado loss, he said. “[I told them] to shake it off, practice and be ready, because we’ve got three games next week, and they all count,” Polvino said.

The Lady Owls lost against Glendale Apollo Monday, 60-42, and matched up against Glendale Tuesday. The result was not available at press time.

Marge Hillery Marge Hillery, 84, of Glendale, Arizona passed away on December 26, 2015. Margaret Driskell Hillery passed away peacefully in her sleep the morning after spending Christmas day with most of her family.

Born February 21, 1931 in Jackson, Alabama, she lived all over the world including Ohio, Washington, Germany, New York, and The Philippines before finding a home in Arizona. She was known by her family and friends as either Marge, Mom, Grandma, or Nana, but no matter what you called her, it was done with nothing but love. She loved to travel around North America with friends and family, and in doing so, tried doing things like riding a luge, showing off her acting skills, and seeing her eldest Great Granddaughter meet multiple princesses at Disney World. She was exceptional at picking the winners of professional football games for the office pool, and you especially knew you were loved on your birthday when she ALWAYS made sure to make your favorite cake.

If everyone could say a prayer for her and ask your friends and relatives in Heaven to show her around, make sure she isn’t lonely, we’d appreciate it. She is a sweet, caring woman who we love so much and will miss terribly.

She is survived by her 3 children: Jerry, Gary and Jana, 6 grandchildren, and 3 great grandchildren.

There are so many wonderful things we could say here about this amazing woman, but if you would like to come help celebrate her life on February 20th at 2:00 pm, please email bonniehillery@gmail.com.

In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made in her name to Hospice of the Valley

The opportunity to assist others motivated a West Valley teenager to travel 9,000 miles to Africa to help a village establish a source of safe water.

Austin Dahlstrom, 14, went to Ghana in November as part of a mission for Water Is Life, an organization dedicated to providing clean drinking water, hygiene and sanitation to communities in need.

“I really like helping people and I always wanted to go to Africa,” Austin said.

During 10 days in November, Austin assisted with the construction of a sand filter to help purify drinking water for the village of Zali in the west African country.

Without the purification project, the water in the reservoir about a half mile from Zali had the potential to make villagers sick, Austin said.

“It feels good to know they will have a better chance to live,” he said. “The kids have a better chance to grow up.”

Austin, who lives in the Dreaming Summit community near Litchfield Park, was part of a four-member team from the West Valley to make the trip, including Mark Bender of Buckeye, who is director of water projects for Water Is Life.

Also on the trip were Kori Fine of Litchfield Park and Stephanie Crawford of Buckeye.

They joined the Ghana team, which was digging a trench from the reservoir to what Bender described as an impoverished village of about 800 people who live in multi-generational family compounds of straw huts.

Public Notice

Bender said Austin assimilated to the community.

“He really got engaged,” Bender said about the youth. “He wasn’t afraid. He’s got a huge heart.”

The Arizona teenager said he was a curiosity among a group of African children who followed him around.

Language prevented much socialization, but Austin said he understood when the children labeled him with words that translate to “crazy white person.”

The filter Austin helped build uses sand, rocks and gravel to remove impurities from the water, which will be delivered to taps at the school and in the middle of the village, he said.

The Ghana team was expected to finish the project after the volunteers left, Austin said.

The U.S. group also taught villagers to make soap, helped repair a church and built latrines, Austin said.

Over the past four years, Water Is Life teams have been to Zali about 15 times as the organization established microfinanced business in the community, Bender said.

Since being established as a nonprofit organization in 2009, Water Is Life has worked on projects in several African countries, as well as Haiti, China and India, Bender said.

An eighth-grader at L. Thomas Heck Middle School, Austin said his teachers didn’t mind that he would miss class since the project drew on things he’s learned in school.

“The whole sand filter is math and science,” he said.

To prepare for the trip, Austin attended training sessions on Saturdays for a couple of months.

to participate in providing materials/services without being discriminated against on grounds of race, religion, sex, age, or natural origin. DBE businesses are encouraged to submit on this solicitation.

By Susan D. Goodwin, Curtis, Goodwin, Sullivan, Udall & Schwab, PLC City Attorney FRANCHISE AGREEMENT BETWEEN ARIZONA PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY AND CITY OF LITCHFIELD PARK, ARIZONA Section 1. – Grant of Franchise: There is hereby granted to Arizona Public Service Company, a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of the State of Arizona (herein called “Grantee”), its successors and assigns, a franchise (herein called the “Franchise”) to construct, maintain and operate its electrical system, as defined herein, upon, over, along, across and under the present and future public rights-of-way. These rights-of-way include but are not limited to streets, alleys, ways and highways in the City of Litchfield Park, Arizona (herein called “City”). Grantee’s system includes electric power lines, together with all necessary or desirable appurtenances, including, but not limited to, poles, towers, wires, cables, conduits, transmission lines, transformers, switches and communication lines for its own use. This Franchise is for Grantee’s use of City’s public rights-of-way to supply and deliver electric energy to City, its successors, the inhabitants thereof, and all individuals and entities either within or beyond the limits thereof, for all purposes.

Any street lighting service furnished by Grantee to City or to any street lighting improvement district within City shall be the subject of a separate agreement and shall not be governed by the provisions of this Franchise.

This Franchise includes the right to use public rights-of-way for the location of communication lines and appurtenances owned and operated by Grantee incidental to supplying electric energy under this Franchise. This Franchise does not include the right to use public rights-of-way for one-way transmissions directly to customers, users or subscribers of video programming, if any, which is required for the selection of or response to video programming. For purposes of the foregoing, the term “video programming” means programming provided by or generally considered comparable to programming provided by a television broadcast station. Grantee agrees that if Grantee uses or leases to others, the wires, towers, cables or lines for any purpose other than supplying electric services, before such use or lease, Grantee or Grantee’s lessee shall apply for and obtain a separate license from City.

City shall not be liable to Grantee should Grantee construct facilities pursuant to this Franchise in an area over which City has erroneously exercised jurisdiction.

Section 2. – Grantee’s Compliance with City Code; Plans Submitted for Approval; City Construction near Grantee’s Facilities: City expressly reserves unto itself, subject to the limitations of the Constitution and laws of Arizona, the right to ensure the safety and welfare of the public, including without limitation to, pass and enforce ordinances to protect the public from danger or inconvenience in the operation of any work performed in the public rights-of-way, including without limitation enforcement of this Franchise.

All construction under this Franchise shall be performed in accordance with applicable codes and ordinances of City with respect to such public rights-of-way. Such construction shall be completed within a reasonable time. Any Blue Stake or similar markings of Grantee or a contractor of Grantee shall be completed according to the Arizona Revised Statutes and Arizona Corporation Commission regulations. Before Grantee makes any installations in the public rights-of-way, Grantee shall upon request or direction from City obtain a construction permit and submit for approval a map showing the location of such proposed installations to the designated City official. City and Grantee agree and understand that there may be instances when Grantee is required to make repairs that are of an emergency nature. Grantee shall notify City prior to such repairs, to the extent practicable, and shall obtain the necessary permits in a reasonable time after notification, showing the work performed in the public rights-of-way.

If City authorizes either directly or through a contractor any construction project adjacent to or near Grantee’s facilities operated pursuant to this Franchise, City shall include in all such construction specifications, bids, and contracts, a requirement that the contractor or his designee must comply with the overhead power line safety laws (A.R.S. § 40-360.41 et. seq. as amended).

Section 3. – Construction and Relocation of Grantee’s Facilities; Payment: All facilities installed or constructed pursuant to this Franchise shall be so located or relocated and so erected as to minimize the interference with traffic, or other authorized uses over, under or through the public rights-of-way. Furthermore, Grantee shall not install, construct, maintain or use its facilities in a manner that damages or interferes with any existing facilities of another utility located in the public rights-of-way and agrees to relocate its facilities, if necessary, to accommodate another facility relocation that has a prior rights interest in the public rights-of-way.

At the beginning of each calendar year, City and Grantee shall provide one another with a general schedule of its known future construction projects in order that construction projects may be coordinated to the extent practicable. Neither party shall finalize the design of any facility without providing the other party notice as set forth in Section 15 below, and a reasonable opportunity to comment. If either party identifies a potential conflict between their existing facilities and the other party’s proposed facilities, said party shall immediately notify the other party of such conflict and the parties shall use their best efforts to resolve such conflict.

Activities related to the construction of Grantee’s facilities within the rights-of-way such as traffic control, backfilling, compaction and paving, and the location or relocation of lines and related facilities shall be subject to regulation by City. Grantee shall keep accurate records of the location of all facilities in the public rights-of-way and furnish them to City upon request. Upon completion of new or relocation construction of underground facilities in the public rights-of-way, Grantee shall, upon request or direction from City, provide City’s Engineer with corrected drawings showing the location of the underground facilities in those cases where the actual location differs significantly from the proposed location. Grantee shall provide to City, upon City’s request, the actual location of such new or relocated facilities in the public rights-of-way in an electronic format. Such format shall conform to utility industry best-practice standards. Grantee shall be required to obtain and pay all required fees and charges for construction permits and inspections of all non-electrical transmission or distribution facilities constructed within City, including but not limited to, office buildings, storage buildings, or repair shops. Permits for electrical transmission or distribution facilities will be issued at no cost under this Franchise.

A. If City requires Grantee to relocate Grantee’s facilities which are located in private easements obtained by Grantee prior to City’s acquisition of said property from which the facilities must be relocated, the entire cost of relocating Grantee’s facilities (including the cost of purchasing a new private easement if necessary) shall be borne by City. City shall also bear the entire cost of all subsequent relocations of the relocated facilities required by City, until such time as City condemns or purchases Grantee’s private easement.

B. Except as covered in Paragraph A above, Grantee shall bear the entire cost of relocating its facilities located on public rights-of-way, the relocation of which is necessary for City’s or a contractor of City carrying out of City’s governmental functions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Grantee is requested to perform work of a temporary nature on a governmental project to relieve construction problems which could be relieved by other means, the cost of said temporary work will be borne by City or City’s contractor working on the governmental project. Governmental functions are those duties imposed on City, where the duties involve a general public benefit, not in the nature of a corporate or business undertaking for the corporate benefit and interest of City. Governmental functions include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. Any and all improvements to City’s public rights-of-way; 2. Establishing and maintaining domestic water systems, sanitary sewers, storm drains, and related facilities; 3. Establishing and maintaining municipal parks, parking spaces, parkways, pedestrian malls, or grass, shrubs, trees and other vegetation for the purpose of landscaping any street or public property; 4. Providing fire protection and other public safety functions; and 5. Collection and disposal of garbage and recyclables.

6. The relocation of Grantee’s facilities necessary to carry out the exercise of the City’s police power for urban renewal.

C. City will bear the entire cost of relocating any of Grantee’s facilities, the relocation of which is necessitated by the construction of improvements by or on behalf of City in furtherance of a proprietary function. All functions of City which are not governmental are proprietary.

D. If City participates in the cost of relocating Grantee’s facilities for any reason, the cost of relocation to City shall not include any upgrade or improvement of Grantee’s facilities as they existed prior to relocation.

E. City will not exercise its right to require Grantee’s facilities to be relocated in an unreasonable or arbitrary manner, or to avoid its obligation under the Franchise. City agrees to notify Grantee during the planning and design of City’s projects in rights-of-way that may require relocation of Grantee’s facilities and to coordinate its construction plans and schedules with Grantee to determine the most cost-effective design to mitigate Grantee’s cost to relocate its facilities.

F. City agrees it will not require Grantee to relocate its facilities located within the public rights-of-way without providing Grantee adequate space within the rights-of-way to relocate the facilities that must be moved.

G. City will not plant any tree that can normally grow to a height of more than 25 feet under or adjacent to Grantee’s overhead power lines in the public rights-of-way. Grantee shall have the authority to prune or remove any trees or shrubs located within or hanging over the limits of the public rights-of-way of City that in the judgment of Grantee may interfere with the construction, or endanger the operation, of the lines and/or facilities of Grantee. All said vegetation management work is to be done at Grantee’s expense and pursuant to A.N.S.I. Standard A300.

Section 4. – Indemnification: City, its departments, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns, shall in no way be liable or responsible for any accident or damage that may occur in the construction, operation or maintenance by Grantee of its appurtenances hereunder, except to the extent such accident or damage may be proximately caused by the negligent or willful and wanton acts or omissions of City, its departments, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns. The acceptance of this Franchise shall be deemed an agreement on the part of Grantee that Grantee shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, defend, indemnify, and hold City harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, suits, damages, judgments, expenses and losses including, but not limited to attorney fees and court costs relating to, arising out of, or alleged to have resulted from the exercise of this Franchise by Grantee; provided, however, that such claims, expenses and losses are not the result of the willful misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of City.

Grantee, so long as it maintains, operates or owns facilities, within rights-of-way of City, at its own cost and expense, shall keep, or cause to be kept, in force insurance against claims and liability for personal injury, death and property damage arising from the construction, operation or maintenance by Grantee of its facilities in a reasonable amount sufficient to insure Grantee’s obligations under this Section, with City named as an additional insured. Grantee shall provide City with 30 days written notice of material change, cancellation or nonrenewal by the insurer. The policy shall be primary and noncontributing with any policy of City.

Section 5. – Restoration of Rights-of-Way: Whenever Grantee shall cause any opening or alteration whatsoever to be made for any purpose in any public right-of-way, the work shall be completed in compliance with Section 7-16-4 of the City Code, as that section may be amended from time to time. Grantee will restore the disturbed property to a condition as good as it was prior to such opening or alteration. Work shall be completed with due diligence within a reasonably prompt time.

Section 6. – Franchise Fee: Grantee shall pay to City in consideration of the grant of this Franchise a sum equal to zero percent (0%) of all revenues of Grantee, including Regulatory Assessments, but excluding transaction privilege taxes and similar governmental impositions, from the retail sales and/ or delivery by it of electric energy and other charges for services attendant to the retail sale and/or delivery of electric energy delivered through Grantee’s electric distribution system within the present and any future corporate limits of City, as shown by Grantee’s billing records. Grantee shall not, however, pay said franchise fee on revenues charged to Grantee’s retail customers by third party electric service providers. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7, said payments shall be in lieu of any and all fees, charges or exaction of any kind otherwise assessed by City in any way associated with Grantee’s use of the rights-of-way, including but not limited to, the construction of Grantee’s facilities hereunder or for inspections thereof during the term of this Franchise.

At any time during the term of this franchise, the City Council may adopt a resolution changing the franchise fee to a sum between zero percent (0%.) and two percent (2%). Upon adoption of the aforementioned resolution, City must submit the notice of resolution in writing to the Grantee at: Arizona Public Service Company, Office of the Corporate Secretary, 400 North 5th Street, M.S. 8602, Phoenix, Arizona 85004, Grantee will have 30 days, after receiving said written notice from City, to implement the change to the franchise fee percentage. Grantee will not be required to retroactively collect, pay, or refund franchise fees due to improper notice, or any delay in providing notice to Grantee by City.

For the purpose of verifying amounts payable hereunder, the books and records of Grantee shall be subject to inspection by duly authorized officers or representatives of City at reasonable times.

Payment as described in the preceding paragraphs shall be payable in quarterly amounts within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Franchise, if during the term of this Franchise Grantee enters into any electric franchise with any other municipality in Arizona during the term of this Franchise that provides for a higher percentage of Grantee’s revenues than two percent (2%) or includes more categories of revenues than set forth in this Franchise, Grantee shall notify City Council of such higher percentage or expanded revenue base. City Council, at its sole discretion, shall have the option to, as applicable: (i) increase Grantee’s franchise fee to the higher percentage rate; or (ii) include other revenue categories set forth in the franchise agreement Grantee has with the other entity of this State. Following City Council’s action, Grantee agrees to henceforth pay to City a new franchise fee at the higher franchise percentage or to include the additional revenue categories.

Section 7. – Additional Fees and Taxes: Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, Grantee shall pay, in addition to the payment provided in Section 6, the following charges, taxes and fees as established in a code or ordinance properly adopted by City: A. General ad valorem property taxes; B. Transaction privilege and use tax as authorized by law and collected by Grantee for its retail sales to its electric customers within the present and any future corporate limits of City; C. Assessments for special improvements; D. Pavement cut charge fees, and similar fees enacted by the City Council to recover the costs to City for the reduction on the life of the pavement due to pavement cuts, so long as such fee does not apply exclusively to franchised public service corporations; E. Other charges, taxes or fees generally levied upon businesses by City, provided said charge, tax or fee is a flat fee per year and that the annual amount of such fee does not exceed the amount of similar fees paid by any other businesses operated within City.

Section 8. – Term: This Franchise shall continue and exist for a period of twenty-five (25) years from March 15, 2013; provided, however, that either party may terminate this Franchise on its tenth anniversary by giving written notice of its intention to do so not less than one (1) year before the date of termination. If such notice is given for the purpose of negotiating a new franchise and such negotiation is successful, the party giving the notice of termination shall be responsible for the costs of the resulting franchise election.

Section 9. – Franchise; Non-Exclusive: This Franchise is not exclusive, and nothing contained herein shall be construed to prevent City from granting other like or similar grants or privileges to any other person, firm or corporation.

Section 10. – Conflicting Ordinances: Not withstanding any other provisions hereof, all ordinances and parts of ordinances in conflict with the provisions hereof, to the extent applicable to a franchised electric public service corporation, are hereby superseded.

Section 11. – Independent Provisions: If any section, paragraph, clause, phrase or provision of this Franchise, shall be adjudged invalid or unconstitutional, the same shall not affect the validity of this Franchise as a whole or any part of the provisions hereof other than the part so adjudged to be invalid or unconstitutional.

Section 12. – City Use of Facilities: In consideration of this Franchise and the rights granted hereby, City shall, if the following six criteria are met, have the right to place, maintain, and operate on Grantee’s poles located on public rights-of-way within City’s corporate limits, any and all wires and appurtenances (other than steps or climbing devices) for City’s fire alarm, police telephone or other municipal communications services utilized for governmental functions: A.

C. City’s facilities and the installation and maintenance thereof must comply with the applicable requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the National Electrical Safety Code, and all other applicable rules and regulations as amended. If City does not comply with all applicable laws, ordinances and regulations, or if City’s facilities create an immediate safety hazard, Grantee retains the right to remove or correct City’s facilities at City’s expense; D. City’s facilities and the installation and maintenance thereof must not cause Grantee’s facilities and the installation and maintenance thereof to be out of compliance with all applicable requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Act and the National Electrical Safety Code and all other applicable rules and regulations as amended.

Esta concesión no incluye el derecho de utilizar los derechos de paso públicos para transmisiones de una vía directamente a los clientes, usuarios, o suscriptores de programación de video, si se requiera por la selección de o respuesta de la programación de video. Para los propósitos precedentes, el término “programación de video” significa programación proveída por o considerada generalmente comparable a la programación proveída por una estación de transmisión televisiva. La Concesionaria acepta que si la Concesionaria utilizara o alquilara a otros, los cables, torres, o líneas para cualquier propósito además que suministrar los servicios eléctricos, antes de tal uso o alquiler, la Concesionaria o el arrendatario de la Concesionaria solicitará y obtendrá una licencia separada de la Ciudad.

La Ciudad no se considerará responsable a la Concesionaria si la Concesionaria construyera instalaciones conforme a esta Concesionaria en un área dónde la Ciudad ha ejercido la jurisdicción erróneamente.

Sección 2. – Cumplimiento de la Concesionaria con el código de la Ciudad; Planes presentados para aprobación; Construcción de la Ciudad cerca de las Instalaciones de la Concesionaria: La Ciudad reserva expresamente a sí misma, sujeto a los límites de la Constitución y los leyes de Arizona, el derecho de asegurar la seguridad y bienestar del público, incluso sin límite a, aprobar y ejecutar ordenanzas para proteger el público del peligro o inconveniencia en la operación de cualquier trabajo hecho en los derechos de paso públicos, incluso sin límite la ejecución de esta Concesión.

Toda construcción cumplida bajo esta Concesión será realizado de acuerdo con los códigos y ordenanzas aplicables de la Ciudad con relación a dichos derechos de paso públicos. Tal construcción debe ser cumplido dentro de una duración razonable. Cualquier Blue Stake o marcado similar de la Concesionaria o contratista de la Concesionaria deben ser cumplido en acuerdo con los Estatutos Revisados de Arizona y las regulaciones de la Comisión Corporativa de Arizona. Antes de que la Concesionaria realice alguna instalación en los derechos de paso públicos, la Concesionaria, a la solicitud o dirección de la Ciudad, debe obtener un permiso de construcción y presentar para aprobación un mapa señalando las ubicaciones de dichas instalaciones propuestas al funcionario designado de la Ciudad. La Ciudad y la Concesionaria están de acuerdo y entienden que habrían casos cuando la Concesionaria se requiere hacer las reparaciones de emergencia. La Concesionaria notificará a la Ciudad antes de tales reparaciones, en la medida de lo posible, y obtendrá los permisos necesarios en una duración razonable después de notificación, demostrando el trabajo cumplido en los derechos de paso públicos.

Si la Ciudad autoriza directamente o por medio de un contratista algún proyecto de construcción al lado de o cerca de las instalaciones de la Concesionaria operado según esta Concesión, la Ciudad debe incluir en todas especificaciones de construcción, ofertas, y contratos, un requisito que el contratista o su persona designada debe acceder con las leyes de seguridad de línea de energía eléctrica (A.R.S. § 40-360.41 et. seq. como enmendadas).

Sección 3. – Construcción y reubicación de las instalaciones de la Concesionaria; Pago; Todas las instalaciones, colocadas o construidas de acuerdo con esta Concesión, estarán ubicadas o reubicadas y construidas de tal manera que minimicen la interferencia con el tránsito u otros usos autorizados sobre, debajo de o a través de los derechos de paso. Además, la Concesionaria no debe instalar, construir, mantener, ni usar sus instalaciones de ninguna manera que daña o interfiere con las instalaciones existentes de otros servicios públicos ubicados en los derechos de paso públicos y si es necesario, consentir en reubicar sus instalaciones para adaptar otra reubicación de instalación que tiene un interés de derecho previo en los derechos de paso públicos.

Al principio de cada año calendario, la Ciudad y la Concesionaria proveerán uno al otro con un horario general de sus proyectos de construcción futuros ya sabidos para que los proyectos de construcción puedan ser coordinados de manera practicable. Ningún parte finalizará el diseño de ningún proyecto sin proveerle al otro parte el aviso como presentado en la Sección 15 abajo, y una oportunidad razonable de comentar. Si cualquiera de los partes identifica un conflicto potencial entre las instalaciones existiendo y las instalaciones propuestas del otro parte, dicho parte le avisará inmediatamente al otro parte de tal conflicto y los partes utilizarán sus esfuerzas mejores para resolver dicho conflicto.

Las actividades relacionadas a la construcción de las instalaciones de la Concesionaria dentro de los derechos de paso tal como control de tránsito, relleno, compactación y pavimentación, así como la ubicación o reubicación de las líneas de instalaciones concernientes serán reguladas por la Ciudad. La Concesionaria mantendrá los registros exactos de la ubicación de todas las instalaciones en los derechos de paso públicos y los entregará a la Ciudad, previa solicitud. Al término de la construcción nueva o de reubicación de las instalaciones subterráneos en los derechos de paso, la Concesionaria debe, a la solicitud o dirección de la Ciudad, entregar al ingeniero civil de la Ciudad, los planes corregidos que muestren la ubicación actual de las instalaciones subterráneas en los casos en que la ubicación actual sea diferente significativamente de la ubicación propuesta. La Concesionaria entregará, a la solicitud de la Ciudad, la ubicación real de tales instalaciones nuevas o reubicadas en los derechos de paso públicos en un formato electrónico. Tal formato se cumplirá con los estándares de mejor práctica de la industria de los servicios públicos. La Concesionaria se requerirá obtener y pagar todos pagos requeridos y las cobras para los permisos e inspecciones de todas las instalaciones de transmisión o distribución no eléctrica construidas dentro de la Ciudad, incluso pero no se limita a, los edificios de oficinas, los edificios de depósito, o talleres de reparaciones. Los permisos para instalaciones de transmisión o distribución eléctrica se expedirán por ningún costo según esta Concesión.

A. Si la Ciudad requiere que la Concesionaria reubique las instalaciones de propiedad que estén localizadas en derechos de paso privados obtenidos por la Concesionaria antes de la Ciudad adquiera dicha propiedad en la cual las instalaciones deban ser reubicadas, el costo total de la reubicación de las instalaciones de la Concesionaria (incluyendo el costo de adquisición de una nueva servidumbre de paso privada, de ser necesaria) será asumido por la Ciudad. La Ciudad también deberá asumir el costo total de las reubicaciones subsecuentes de las instalaciones reubicadas requeridas por la Ciudad, hasta el tiempo en que ésta expropie o adquiera el derecho de paso privado de la Concesionaria.

B. Exceptuando lo incluido en el Párrafo A, la Concesionaria asumirá el costo total de la reubicación de sus instalaciones situadas en derechos de paso públicos, en el caso de que la reubicación resulte necesaria para que la Ciudad ejecute sus funciones de gobierno. No obstante el precedente, si la Concesionaria pide que haga trabajo de una naturaleza temporal en un proyecto gubernamental para aliviar los problemas de construcción que pueden ser aliviados por otro medio, el costo de dicho trabajo temporal será asumido por la Ciudad o contratista de la Ciudad trabajando en el proyecto gubernamental. Las funciones de gobierno son las obligaciones impuestas a la Ciudad, en que las actividades que realiza conllevan un beneficio al público general, sin tener la naturaleza de operación efectuada con fines de lucro o corporativas para el beneficio institucional e interés de la Ciudad. Las funciones gubernamentales incluyen, pero no se limitan a, las siguientes: 1. Todas mejoras realizadas a los derechos de paso de la Ciudad; 2. La instalación y mantenimiento de los servicios de agua, drenaje y alcantarillado residenciales e instalaciones relacionadas; 3. La construcción y mantenimiento de parques municipales, estacionamientos, centros comerciales para peatones, o plantación y cultivo de césped, arbustos, árboles, y otra vegetación con fines paisajísticos en cualquier calle o propiedad pública; 4. Dotar protección contra incendios, policía y otras funciones de seguridad pública; y 5. Recolección y eliminación de basura y materiales reciclables.

6. La reubicación de las instalaciones de la Concesionaria necesaria para ejecutar la operación del poder de la policía de la Ciudad para la renovación urbana.

C. La Ciudad asumirá el costo total de la reubicación de las instalaciones de la Concesionaria, cuando ésta resulte necesaria para la construcción de mejoras para la Ciudad o en beneficio de la misma en obras de ampliación de una función de propietaria. Todas funciones de la Ciudad que no son gubernamentales, son propietarias.

D. Si la Ciudad sufraga el costo de reubicación de las instalaciones de la Concesionaria por cualquier razón, tales gastos no incluirán la modernización o mejoras de las instalaciones de la Concesionaria si éstas no existían antes de la reubicación.

E. La Ciudad no ejercerá de modo irracional o arbitrario su derecho de exigir a la Concesionaria la reubicación de sus instalaciones, o evitar su obligación bajo la Concesión. La Ciudad agradece a avisar la Concesionaria durante la planificación y diseño de los proyectos de la Ciudad en los derechos de paso que requieren la reubicación de las instalaciones de la Concesionaria y coordinar sus planes y horarios de construcción con la Concesionaria para determinar el diseño rentable para mitigar el costo de la Concesionaria para reubicar sus instalaciones.

F. La Ciudad agradece que no requerirá que la Concesionaria reubique sus instalaciones localizadas dentro de los derechos de paso públicos sin proveer la Concesionaria con el espacio adecuado dentro de los derechos de paso para reubicar las instalaciones que necesitan mover.

G. La Ciudad no sembrará ningún árbol que puede crecer hasta 25 pies debajo de o al lado de las líneas de energía en los derechos de paso públicos. La Concesionaria debe tener la autoridad para recortar o remover los árboles o arbustos ubicados dentro de los derechos de paso o que cuelgan sobre ésas de la Ciudad, que en opinión de la Concesionaria pudieran interferir con la construcción de sus líneas o instalaciones o poner en peligro la operación de éstas. La Concesionaria asumirá el costo de dicho trabajo de vegetación y según el Estándar A300 de A.N.S.I. Sección 4. – Indemnización: La Ciudad, sus departamentos, funcionarios, empleados, agentes, sucesores y cesionarios, no serán responsables de ninguna manera por cualquier accidente o daño que ocurrirá en la construcción, operación, o mantenimiento por la Concesionaria de sus accesorios a continuación, excepto tal accidente o daño será causado por los actos y omisiones negligentes o intencionados de la Ciudad, sus departamentos, funcionarios, empleados, agentes, sucesores y cesionarios. La aprobación de esta Concesión se considerará un acuerdo por parte de Concesionaria que la Concesionaria, en la mayor medida permitida por la ley, se defenderá, indemnizará y sacará la Ciudad en paz de, para, y contra todas las reclamaciones, costos, demandas, daños, juicios, gastos y pérdidas, incluyendo pero no se limite a, honorarios de abogado y costos del juicio con relación a, surgiendo de, o presunto habría resultado del ejercicio de esta Concesión por Concesionaria; sin embargo, que dichas reclamaciones, gastos y pérdidas no son el resultado de mala conducta o por los actos negligentes o omisiones de la Ciudad.

En la medida en que la Concesionaria mantiene, opera o posee las instalaciones, dentro de los derechos de paso de la Ciudad, como su propio costo y gasto, mantendrá, o causará estar mantenido, el seguro en efectivo contra las reclamaciones y responsabilidades, lesiones corporales, muerte y daño de propiedad, resultando de la construcción, operación o mantenimiento por la Concesionaria de sus instalaciones en una cantidad razonable y suficiente para asegurar las obligaciones bajo esta sección de la Concesionaria, con la Ciudad llamado un asegurado adicional.

La Concesionaria presentará a la Ciudad una notificación escrita de cambio material de 30 días de cancelación o no renovación por el asegurador. La póliza será la primaria y no contribuyente con alguna póliza de la Ciudad.

Sección 5: – Restauración de derechos de paso: Cada vez que la Concesionaria haga aberturas o alteraciones de cualquier tipo y para cualquier propósito en algún derecho de paso, deberá concluir el trabajo en cumplimiento con la Sección 7-16-4 del Código de la Ciudad, como esta sección puede ser modificado de vez en cuando.

La Concesionaria restaurará la propiedad dañada a la condición anterior y antes de tales aberturas o alteraciones. El trabajo deberá de ser concluido con la diligencia debida y dentro de un lapso razonable.

Sección 6. – Derecho de la Concesión: La Concesionaria pagará a la Ciudad como contraprestación por el otorgamiento de esta Concesión una suma equivalente a cero por ciento (0%) de todos los ingresos de la Concesionaria, incluyendo las Tasaciones Reguladores pero excluyendo los impuestos de privilegio de transacciones y las imposiciones gubernamentales similares, de sus ventas al menudeo y/o distribución de energía eléctrica y otros cobros por servicios concomitantes a la venta al menudeo o distribución de energía eléctrica distribuida a través de la red eléctrica de la Concesionaria dentro de los límites presentes y cualquier límite futuro de incorporación de la Ciudad como lo muestren los registros de facturación de la Concesionaria. Sin embargo, la Concesionaria no pagará dichos derechos de concesión sobre los ingresos a cargo de los clientes minoristas de la Concesionaria por terceros proveedores de servicios eléctricos. Exceptuando como dicho en la Sección 7, dichos pagos serán en lugar de todos los derechos, cargos o exacción de cualquier tipo tesado por la Ciudad en cualquier manera asociado con el uso de los derechos de paso públicos de la Concesionaria, incluyendo pero no se limite a, la construcción de las instalaciones de la Concesionaria a continuación o para las inspecciones de ésas durante los términos de esta Concesión.

En cualquier momento durante el término de esta Concesión, el Concilio de la Ciudad adoptará una resolución cambiando el derecho de la Concesión a una suma entre cero porciento (0%) y dos porciento (2%). Al punto de la adaptación de la resolución ya mencionada, la Ciudad debe presentar el aviso escrito de la resolución a la Concesionaria en: Arizona Public Service Company, Office of the Corporate Secretary, 400 North 5th Street, M.S. 8602, Phoenix, Arizona 85004. La Concesionaria tendrá 30 días, después de recibir dicho aviso escrito de la Ciudad, para implementar el cambio al porcentaje del derecho de la Concesión.

La Concesionaria no se requerirá coleccionar, pagar, ni reembolsar retroactivamente los derechos de la Concesión debido al aviso inadecuado, o cualquier retraso en presentar el aviso a la Concesionaria por la Ciudad.

Para el propósito de verificar las sumas pagaderas a continuación, los libros y registros de la Concesionaria estarán sujetos a la inspección y auditoria por los funcionarios debidamente autorizados o representantes de la Ciudad a las horas razonables.

El pago descrito en los previos párrafos se pagará en cantidades trimestrales dentro de 30 días después del fin de cada cuarto calendario.

A pesar de cualquiera provisión de esta Concesión, si durante el término de esta Concesión la Concesionaria inicia cualquiera concesión eléctrica con cualquiera otra municipalidad en el estado de Arizona durante el término de esta Concesión que provee un porcentaje más alto que dos por ciento (2 %) de los ingresos de la Concesionaria o que incluye más categorías de ingresos que fueron dispuestos en esta Concesión, la Concesionaria notificará al Concilio de la Ciudad de tal porcentaje más alto o de tal base mayor de ingreso. El Concilio de la Ciudad, a su discreción sola, tendrá la opción de, como aplicable: (i) aumentar el derecho de la concesión de la Concesionaria a la tasa de porcentaje más alta; o (ii) incluir otras categorías de ingresos propuestos en el contrato de concesión que la Concesionaria tiene con la otra entidad de este Estado. Siguiendo con la acción del Concilio de la Ciudad, la Concesionaria se acuerda pagarle de ahora en adelante a la Ciudad un derecho de concesión nuevo al porcentaje de concesión más alto o incluir las categorías adicionales de ingreso.

Sección 7. – Derechos e impuestos adicionales: No obstante las disposiciones contrarias del presente contrato, la Concesionaria, además del pago contemplado en la Sección 6, pagará los siguientes cargos, impuestos y derechos como establecido en código u ordenanza adoptado correctamente por la Ciudad: A. Impuestos generales sobre el valor estimado de las propiedades; B. Impuestos de transacciones de privilegio y de utilización como autorizados de la ley y coleccionados por la Concesionaria para sus ventas a sus clientes de electricidad dentro de los límites corporativos del presente o del futuro de la Ciudad; C. Tasaciones para mejoramientos especiales; D. Pagos de cortar el pavimento, y pagos similares promulgados por el Concilio de la Ciudad para recuperar los costos a la Ciudad para la reducción de la vida del pavimento debido a los cortos del pavimento, tan pronto como tal pago no se aplique exclusivamente a las sociedades anónimas de servicios públicos concesionados; E. Otros cargos, impuestos, o derechos generalmente impuestos en los negocios por la Ciudad, con tal de que dicho cargo, impuesto, o derecho sea un derecho fijo anual y que la suma anual de dicho derecho no exceda la suma de derechos similares pagados por otros negocios operados dentro de la Ciudad.

Sección 8: – Duración: Esta Concesión continuará y existirá por un periodo de veinticinco (25) años del 20 de marzo de 2013; con tal de que, sin embargo, cualquier partido pueda terminar esta Concesión en el décimo aniversario al dar notificación escrita de su intención de hacer eso no menos que un (1) año antes de la fecha de terminación. Si tal notificación se da para negociar una concesión nueva y tal negociación tuviera éxito, el partido que da la notificación de terminación será responsable del costo de la elección de concesión que resulta.

Sección 9 – Concesión; No exclusiva: Esta Concesión no confiere derechos de exclusividad y nada de lo aquí dispuesto se interpretará como que impida a la Ciudad el otorgar otras concesiones o privilegios similares a cualquier otra persona, firma, o sociedad anónima.

Sección 10. – Conflicto de ordenanzas: No obstante cualquier provisión del presente, todas ordenanzas y partes de ordenanzas en conflicto con las provisiones del presente en la medida que sean aplicables a una sociedad anónima de servicio público concesionado, quedan suprimidas.

Sección 11. – Disposiciones independientes: Si se determina la invalidez o inconstitucionalidad de cualquier sección, párrafo, cláusula, frase o estipulación de esta Concesión, ello no afectará la validez de la totalidad o parte de las estipulaciones de esta Concesión, sino sólo de la parte que se haya determinado como inválida o inconstitucional.

Sección 12. – Uso de las instalaciones por parte de la Ciudad: En consideración de esta Concesión y de los derechos concedidos por ella, la Ciudad tendrá el derecho, si se cumplan los seis criterios enumerados a continuación, a colocar, mantener y operar dentro de sus límites corporativos, en los postes de la Concesionaria ubicados en las servidumbres de paso, todos los alambrados y accesorios necesarios (que no sean peldaños o dispositivos para trepar) para el sistema de alarma contra incendios y teléfono de la policía u otros servicios de comunicación de la Ciudad utilizados para funciones gubernamentales: A. La Ciudad debe darle los planes escritos a la Concesionaria de la utilización propuesta de los postes de la Concesionaria; B. La Ciudad, hasta donde lo permita la ley, defenderá, indemnizará y sacará en paz a la Concesionaria de cualquier controversia, reclamaciones, costos, daños, gastos y pérdidas, así como los pagos razonables de abogados y costos de tribunales relacionados, incluyendo los relativos a, o que surjan de la utilización por la Ciudad de las instalaciones de la Concesionaria conforme a esta Concesión; con tal de que dichos reclamos, gastos y pérdidas no sean causados por mala conducta, actos negligentes u omisiones imputables de la Concesionaria.

C. Las instalaciones de la Ciudad, así como la construcción y mantenimiento de las mismas deben cumplir con los requisitos aplicables de la Ley de Seguridad y Salud Ocupacional en el Trabajo (Occupational Safety and Health Act), el Código Nacional de Seguridad Eléctrica (National Electrical Safety Code) y todas las normas y regulaciones aplicables como enmendadas. Si la Ciudad no cumple con todas las leyes, ordenanzas, y regulaciones aplicables o si las instalaciones de la Ciudad crean un riesgo inmediato de seguridad, la Concesionaria retiene el derecho de quitar o corregir dichas instalaciones de la Ciudad con cargo a la Ciudad.

D.

Si la Ciudad no cumple con las leyes, ordenanzas y reglamentos correspondientes, después de recibir la noticia escrita de la Concesionaria y una oportunidad razonable para remediar la situación, o si sus instalaciones crean un riesgo inmediato de seguridad, la Concesionaria retiene el derecho de quitar o corregir dichas instalaciones con cargo a la Ciudad; E. El uso por parte de la Ciudad de sus instalaciones no interferirá irrazonablemente con el uso por parte de la Concesionaria de las instalaciones de la Concesionaria, y; F. La Ciudad será responsable por cualquier costo incremental incurrido por la Concesionaria como resulta del uso de las instalaciones de la Concesionaria por parte de la Ciudad.

Sección 14. – Se requiere la aprobación del electorado: Esta Concesión está sujeta a la aprobación del electorado de la Ciudad.

3.2 If City undertakes, either directly or through a contractor, any construction project adjacent to Grantee’s facilities operated pursuant to this Franchise, City shall notify Grantee of such construction project. Grantee will take steps as are reasonably necessary to maintain safe conditions throughout the construction project, including but not limited to the temporary removal or barricading of Grantee’s pipelines or equipment, the location of which may create an unsafe condition in view of the equipment to be utilized or the methods of construction to be followed by the Contractor, at City’s cost.

3.3 Grantee shall coordinate with City the installation, construction, use, operation and relocation of its facilities within City. Grantee shall provide City with proposed installation drawings to facilitate such coordination and shall plan, respond, facilitate and design its facilities in coordination with City input, as City may provide.

3.4 Grantee shall not install, construct, maintain or use its facilities in a manner that damages or interferes with any existing facilities of another utility located in the public right-of-way.
