March 4 marked the official opening of the Western Maricopa Education Center Southwest Campus, a place where both high school and college students will train for high paying jobs in the power plant industry.

West-MEC is a technological education district that covers a large part of the northern and western cities of Maricopa County, according to its website.

The West-MEC Southwest Campus is a oneof-a-kind in the nation partnership between industry, higher education and secondary education.

The partners — Arizona Public Service Co.; Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, which is operated by APS; West-MEC; Estrella Mountain Community College; the city of Buckeye; and the Maricopa Community College District — worked together to make their vision a reality.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony drew a crowd of state legislators, mayors, city council and college governing board members, executives from APS and Palo Verde, the community colleges and West-MEC. “What a day — unbelievable, in my opinion,” Buckeye Mayor Jackie Meck said at the ceremony. “We’re gonna have a big economic development deal because of this.”

“This is raising Buckeye, the bar, really, really high and it’s good, very good,” Meck said.

He said the campus will help “provide opportunities for people to achieve their dreams.”

Donald Brandt, chairman and CEO of APS, said the baby boomers are going to be retired in eight years and the country will need to find ways to replace those highly skilled workers with young men and women trained in the field of power plant technology.

Dr. Maria Harper-Marinick, interim chancellor of the Maricopa Community College District, said a high school diploma is no longer (See West-MEC on Page A3)

A DIGITAL BILLBOARD stands along Interstate 10 just west of Miller Road in Buckeye. The newly installed billboard, along with one other in the same vicinity, is set to go live this month.

Digital billboard advertising is a popular idea that multiple West Valley cities have embraced, and now Buckeye is jumping on board.

The city entered into an agreement with a company that built and owns two new billboards installed just south of Interstate 10 and west of Miller Road, which will go live in the middle of March.

Grant Taylor, a real estate manager for Empire Southwest, said Empire owns the land and a separate entity within the company owns the billboards the company constructed.

Under an agreement between Buckeye and Empire Southwest, the city will receive free advertising, Taylor said.

Jennifer Rogers, chief communications officer for Buckeye, said the city will “receive one spot on the billboard to promote city-sponsored news and/or events, for example, the air fair or the marathon, at no cost.”

She said the city is “excited to have a new communication tool in the city ... They are a business enterprise that allow our local businesses to

promote the great things happening in Buckeye. The city will be using the billboards to keep residents and visitors up to date with exciting news and events.”

Clear Channel Communications leases the boards from Empire Southwest, she said.

Advertising demand will boil down to traffic counts and demographics, and Buckeye will be competing with nearby cities, said Brad Terry, a real estate manager for Lamar Advertising, which is one of several companies that sells and owns digital billboards in the metro area.

“The West Valley is incredibly built out” in digital billboards, and there is “some challenge on supply and demand” in the West Valley that is driving rates down, Terry said.

More than 20 new digital billboards went up on Loop 101 from Glendale to I-10 in the past two and half years, for example, he said.

He said many landowners have “bright ideas” and are trying to make revenue with digital billboard advertising, but the supply and demand equation is making it difficult to support the kind of rates they want.

Since Buckeye is “out there,” the westbound ad (See Billboards on Page A3)

sufficient. Students need to “get on a path to a career.”

Harper-Marinick said a robust economy requires key partnerships such as this one to provide education and training.

“I agree this is a one-of-a kind” partnership of higher education and industry, she said.

The money to build Phase I and II of the center was paid for out of a $74.9 million bond voters approved in 2012, according to an APS and Estrella Mountain Community College joint press release.

The cost of Phase I and II is $16.8 million, according to a press release by the Phoenix-based McCarthy Building Co., which is constructing the facility.

The southwest campus will open in the fall of 2016.

According to Gregory Donovan, superintendent of West-MEC, the district projects it will enroll and is expected to enroll 175 high school students, based on pre-registration and a capacity of 175.

Estrella Mountain Community College is anticipating offering five to six classes in the fall of 2016, with an estimated enrollment of about 50 students, said Karen Harbin-Januzik, coordinator of marketing and public relations.

“What we have here is the best I have ever seen,” said Randall Edington, executive vice president and chief nuclear officer of APS. “It’s amazing what you can do when you get a number of industries together. It’s just amazing what we have here.”

Students will graduate with Occupational Safety and Health Administration, craftsmanship and National Center for Construction Education and Research [NCCER] certifications, Edington said.

The students will have a resume when they graduate and be able to get high paying jobs, he said.

“I represent the industry and the

market will probably be limited to an ad for McDonalds in Blythe, Calif., or something in Gila Bend, Terry said.

The market for advertising to eastbound traffic is better as drivers travel into a 4 million population metropolis.

Digital billboards have a captive audience, because drivers have time to watch the short ads, Terry said.

He said ads in the Phoenix area run for eight seconds per ad in a rotation of about eight advertisers per minute.

Donovan said, “Seldom do I feel a little bit overcome ... but I’m humbled by this crowd. This today is what education should be” going forward into the future.

The first phase will house the power plant technology education classrooms, he said. When completed, the school will provide training for several fields including health care and veterinary medicine — 17 different occupational programs in total.

He said there has been much rhetoric about the American dream dying.

“Do you really believe that? I don’t,” he said. “We’re here today. We’re making the American dream happen.”

The center will ultimately educate high school, college and adults together in the various fields.

Phase I and II of the southwest campus consists of 76,000 square feet of buildings, solar canopies and roof patios, according to a fact sheet provided by the McCarthy Building Co., the design team of the DLR Group, a Phoenix based architectural firm.

Architechnology, an architecture and technology firm based in Phoenix, is also part of the design team.

Phase I consists of a two-story, 12,000-square-foot building that will house student services and the Estrella Mountain Community College offices, according to the fact sheet.

A second two-story 42,000-squarefoot building, recently completed, is the Sustainability Energy Building with laboratory and classroom space, including a flow loop lab and shop, electrical and mechanical lab instrumentation and a controls lab.

Phase II to be completed by August is a 30,000-square-foot Industrial Technology building. It will house the general construction, information technology and cyber security, medical assisting and pharmacy technician education programs.

Fall registration at Estrella Mountain Community College starts March 21 and continues up to first day of classes on Aug. 20, Harbin-Januzik said.

Kathleen Stinson can be reached at kstinson@westvalleyview.com.

Lamar Advertising has a land lease with a private property owner in Tolleson and built two digital billboards in 2009, Terry said.

Tolleson approved special-use permits for two digital billboards after adding a text amendment to its zoning ordinance the previous year.

The signs are on private property at the southeast corner of 95th Avenue and I-10 and the south side of I-10 at about 85th Avenue. Tolleson gets a $3,000 monthly permit fee for each sign, and also collects tax on the sale of advertisements.

Goodyear approved digital billboards for its city-owned land in 2012, although its sign ordinance does not allow the billboards on land not owned or leased by the city.

The city signed a 25-year contract in July 2012 to lease two digital billboards along I-10 on city-owned property. The boards are at Dysart Road and Bullard Avenue.

Each sign earned the city a one-time business royalty fee of $500,000, as well as $8,375 in monthly rent. After the sixth year of the lease, the rent will increase by 3 percent each year.

Avondale has not approved any digital billboards, said Tracy Stevens, director of development and engineering services for the city.

However, the city has approved guidelines for digital billboards, which set out the application process and contain distance and design criteria, for example, Stevens said.

Avondale currently has two requests for digital billboards, and the City Council has full authority whether to approve any application, she said.

18-year-old man found dead in Phoenix greenbelt View report

Phoenix police are investigating a homicide after an 18-year-old man was found dead March 1 near 83rd Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road in west Phoenix, officials said.

SUV crashes into gun shop in Avondale; suspect flees scene

by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

Police are looking for a driver who crashed into an Avondale gun shop early Monday morning, officials said.

At about 4 a.m., an SUV that had been stolen out of Phoenix crashed into AZFirearms.com near Western Avenue and Third Street, police said.

The driver left the scene before police arrived.

Structural debris and floor-to-ceiling security bars covered the ground in the shop, and the force of the crash caused the roof to fall on top of the SUV, police said.

The store’s owner said most likely no firearms were stolen thanks to a security door that encased the vehicle.

“Our main concern is if there are any missing firearms,” said Kim Bishop, a spokeswoman for AZFirearms.com. “Best we can tell there are not, but they’re doing a full inventory and that will take a little

bit of time.”

The owner of the SUV said his vehicle was stolen while he was inside a Circle K in Phoenix Monday morning.

“Heard some tires screeching, didn’t think anything of it and the lady hands me my change back and I walk back out and there goes my truck,” Daniel Romero said.

Later in the morning, he watched the news live as police investigated a stolen SUV that had crashed into a building.

Within seconds, he realized the SUV was his.

“The inside is all trashed with debris all over the place,” Romero said. “My granddaughter’s car seat was in the front seat and that car seat was strapped in and everything, so they must have hit pretty hard.”

police said.

The men tried to detain the teens until police arrived, but a struggle ensued and one of the youths pulled out a handgun, police said.

As one of the men tried to grab the gun, it went off and he was shot in the stomach.

The teen was shot in the hand, police said.

Both were transported to local hospitals in stable condition, police said.

A 15-year-old boy is facing charges of attempted first-degree homicide and firstdegree burglary after allegedly shooting a construction worker Feb. 26 in a vacant Avondale home, police said.

A man, later identified as Cherokee Love, was found unresponsive with an apparent gunshot wound and was soon pronounced dead, Lewis said.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to call Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS.

Police are submitting charges against two 13-year-old boys who allegedly gave their classmates various prescription drugs March 1 at a Goodyear elementary school, officials said.

Possible charges include possession of prescription drugs, a misdemeanor, and transfer of prescription drugs and possession of drugs in a drug-free zone, both felonies, said Lisa Kutis, a spokeswoman for the Goodyear Police Department.

Goodyear police and firefighters were dispatched to Centerra Mirage STEM Academy, 15151 W. Centerra Drive, at about 1:30 p.m. in reference to seven sick pupils ages 12 to 15, Kutis said.

Upon arrival, they learned that two seventhgraders had allegedly distributed various pills to five additional youths, Kutis said.

One of the pupils became unconscious in the cafeteria during lunch, and the other six reported feeling sick with symptoms of stomach pain, exhaustion, lethargy and

sleepiness, she said.

Six of them were transported to Phoenix Children’s Hospital and released later that night, Kutis said.

It’s unknown what type of pills the pupils took, but police believe it was medication prescribed to the boys, Kutis said.

The exact type of drug will go through the verification process at the Arizona Department of Public Safety lab and results could take an extended period of time, she said.

Centerra Mirage is a K-8 school in the Avondale Elementary District.

School officials believe it was an isolated incident and will continue to investigate the situation to ensure the safety of all pupils, Superintendent Betsy Hargrove said.

“The most important focus for us right now is the safety and wellness of our students,” she said.

Hargrove also asked that parents talk to their children about the dangers of taking unknown pills from anyone.

OUR VIEWPOINT

GRANLUND’S OPINION — politicalcartoons.com

EDITORIAL

Don’t want your name in the paper?

Don’t do bad things Grandma used to say something like, “Don’t do anything you wouldn’t want to see printed on the front page of the newspaper.”

Perhaps she should have followed with, “But if you do, you have only yourself, and not the newspaper, to blame.”

And maybe something like, “And instead of harassing the newspaper with idle threats of legal action, take this time to look inward and learn from your mistakes that landed your name in the paper.”

Nobody likes getting arrested, and nobody likes reading a story about his arrest in the paper. Even if it’s just a fistfight. It’s got to be humiliating. And if you’re not some public official or celebrity type, your fistfight will probably never make Page 1, or Page 2 or Page 3 for that matter. But if you are a public official, such as a police officer, your fistfight will.

Police officers are charged with keeping the peace, and taxpayers are a little uneasy about paying a salary to one who can’t keep his own peace. A police officer with anger management issues is unsettling to say the least, not to mention a lawsuit waiting to happen. And since the investigation takes time, the police officer is usually put on paid administrative leave while it’s ongoing. Nice little taxpayer-funded vacation while he awaits the outcome of his case.

So while a cop’s fistfight that ended in an arrest may not make Page 1, it will most definitely be found somewhere in the paper. The taxpayers have a right to know how their hard-earned money is being spent.

And while we wouldn’t mind hearing from the officer in question as long as he was willing to go on the record for the story, we don’t need to hear from his wife, using language that would make a sailor blush, while admonishing us for daring to print such public information and hurting her family.

Which brings us back to the beginning. If you don’t want your name in the paper, don’t do bad things.

We didn’t force Buckeye Police Lt. Jared Griffith’s wife to monkey around in a toilet at a party with another man, which led to a fistfight between the other man and her husband, according to police records. But we have a responsibility to our readers, the taxpayers, to report on it.

And truth be told, we’d rather not. We’d rather have a police force where each and every member was held to a higher standard and never had the slightest brush with the law.

But when it happens, we report on it. And the only ones who should be blamed for their behavior that resulted in possible charges and the family’s embarrassment are the bathroom bride and her cop husband.

The time to put family first was during the party, before any hanky-panky and brawling took place, not when the story became public.

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.

UN, stay out of our business Editor: Marco Rubio called it correctly, Mr. President Obama knew exactly what his backers intended him to do, to transform America into a European world and have Global Governance.

Very few people were listening to the psychological game that was being transpired, so enamored with the glitz of this man, they overlooked his flaws and the liberal nuts (czars) he placed into positions of power. Education, health, federal and our history was being decimated at a faster pace than what was begun by Marxist, Nazi, Liberal groups of the nineteen fifties.

Mr. President has done all he can to make us weak and fall into submission. Now his time is up and Hillary is his hope to continue his program, while he in the meantime works to get himself elected to the United Nations, in Ki-moon presidential position.

Why you may ask? The United Nation forces could be used against enemies within the United States that oppose open borders, and refugee’s with vetting.

President Obama claims: “Since the founding of our

nation, the United States has championed international law” Don’t you believe it, Obama’s championing for the international law is to impose United Nations foreign laws on the American people.

1. United Nation — American troops tried by foreign judges for war crimes.

2. United nation troops on American soil, if they feel a revolt in the air.

3. United Nation global tax.

4. United Nation control of oil, minerals in world oceans thru law of the sea.

Let him know playing us against each other is over. We want he and the United Nations out of our business and take money bags Soro’s with you.

Closing of Guantanamo Editor: what is the problem with turning the prisoners over to Turkey and letting them join isis on the battlefield (can you say drones).

Their chances of killing American soldiers are very slim since we have very few boots on the ground where the fighting is going on. think of the millions dollars that would be saved by not housing these people. Their chances of being killed over there are better than their chances of killing an American soldier.

All this malarkey about not

closing Guantanamo is bunch of crap. the republicans don’t want it done because Obama wants to do it.

I am not a teacher by profession, but I consider myself to be a “well-read person.” I am not a native of Arizona. I moved to Buckeye, AZ., from Southern California back in August, 1990. I grew up in La Puente Calif., and graduated from Andrew P. Hill High School in San Jose, Calif., in 1973. After High School, I went to San Jose City College where I took classes in mathematics and chemistry.

I didn’t learn fluent Spanish until I was 22 years old. I took 3 years of French in High School, since this is the language of my ancestors on my Dads’ side of the family. My Dads ancestors, the Paimberts, emigrated from France to Mexico. My Dad Gilbert Favela Rivas was born in Durango, Durango, Mex., in 1917. He passed away on August 16th, 1991, from congestive heart failure. He was in real estate. My mom Marina De Luna (See Letters on Page A7)

The height of hypocrisy Editor: I just had to write this one; and it is an easy letter to write .

After the death of Justice Scalia, possibly before his body was even cold, the President of the United States rushed to the microphone for his probably ten thousandth news conference since becoming president, and patriotically proclaimed that he intended in due time to fulfill his Constitutional duty and nominate a new Supreme Court Justice. That is the first time in his entire presidency I have ever known Obama to be concerned about fulfilling his Constitutional duty. What a joke !

I have never in my entire life heard anyone ever say anything more hypocritical then those words from Obama’s mouth.

NEVER NEVER NEVER in my entire life ! Obama has spend his entire presidency trashing, stepping on, tearing down and subverting the Constitution. Now he wants to uphold his Constitutional responsibility. That absolutely is the height of hypocrisy. I believe that this time he really does want to do so. Why would that be ?

Protecting your water

by Frank Scott EPA Community Advisory Group co-chair

Your neighbors from the three cities of Avondale, Goodyear and Litchfield Park are part of an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Community Advisory Group (CAG) devoted to protecting the drinking water in the tri-city area. The CAG members volunteer their time by giving input and assisting the EPA with monitoring the cleanup of contaminated soil and groundwater and providing information to the public about the ongoing activities (which is Frank Scott discussed in this article).

From 1981 through 1983, it was discovered that groundwater had been contaminated by solvents and chromium that had migrated below ground and into the aquifer. In 1983, the EPA designated the contaminated area a superfund site. Over the years, the contaminated water spread and caused some wells in the city of Goodyear to be shut down — and has threatened more wells in Goodyear, Avondale and Litchfield Park.

The Phoenix Goodyear Airport superfund site has been split into two distinct areas — the PGA-North area, which originates from the former Unidynamics facility in Goodyear that is now owned by Crane Co. of Stamford, Conn., and the PGA-South area, which is at the Phoenix Goodyear Airport itself. Crane Co. is responsible for cleanup at PGA-North and Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. of Akron, Ohio, is responsible for PGA-South. Both companies have signed agreements with the EPA that govern the cleanup. The contaminated groundwater is commonly referred to as the “plume.”

It is important to note that our drinking water supply remains safe and is being monitored with democracy into something closer to communism. The 2 parties have also turned the political system into a sporting event. The more control each party gains the more money will pour into that parties coffers from the rich and special interests.

Our Supreme Court has fallen into the same sewer. 4 Liberals and 4 Conservatives with 1 justice having the power to make decisions. The Bill of Rights states that “Article the third...

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the

great intensity — approximately 250 groundwater monitoring points have been installed to determine the extent of each plume’s migration and to monitor the success of cleanup activities. The CAG meets regularly with EPA and the responsible companies’ groundwater experts to ensure the projects stay on track and all cleanup objectives are constantly being met.

The larger plume originates from the former Unidynamics facility, PGA-North. Cleanup activities there have been greatly accelerated over the last five years, with the primary objective being plume containment and reduction. That is being accomplished by pumping the groundwater, filtering it to remove TCE (the primary contaminant), and installation of pipelines to convey the treated groundwater, and injecting into the aquifer where it can create a clean water dam just ahead of the plume for containment and to drive it back toward its source.

More than a billion gallons of groundwater are being pumped and treated annually and the plume migration has been stopped at its northeast edge and reduced in size. The same technique is under way in the northwest area to create a mound and to reduce the plume in that area. Also new nanotechnology methods are being introduced and evaluated at PGA-North to reduce the migration of contaminants from the source.

To date, more than 58,000 pounds of TCE have been removed at the PGA-North superfund site by those activities. The job is enormous in scope and will probably continue for decades into the future. We CAG members — and the EPA — are committed to ensuring the cleanup happens.

For more information, access the EPA’s website for the PGA site at yosemite.epa.gov/r9/ sfund/r9sfdocw.nsf/BySite/Phoenix-Goodyear Airport Area, or simply search the internet for “pga superfund site.” You can also learn more by attending one of our CAG meetings (dates are announced on the websites for the cities of Avondale, Goodyear and Litchfield Park).

press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances” and yet the SC recently gave another type of establishments (big business) the same rights as citizens.

Before we rush into electing another SC justice we should try leaving it 4 Liberals and 4 Conservatives. What’s the worst that could happen, no decisions would be made. What’s the best that could happen, the 8 justices would actually make a decision based solely on merit.

Who knows, if it works maybe we could take a look at the other 2 branches of government.

Humans do have the ability to establish a common ground, but only apparently if the 2 parties have equal power.

That is because Obama wants to put another ultra liberal judge to have a Progressive majority on the Supreme Court, to this time completely trash the Constitution.

He wants to finish his fundamental transformation of America, as he boasted he would do shortly after his 2008 election. If Republicans give up the upper hand on this one and allow it to happen, they will be destroyed politically; and America will lose all relevancy as a great and free nation, for generations to come, and possibly forever. Refusing to even consider Obama’s nominee will be a small payback for all the crap Harry Reid pulled as majority leader. They say payback is a bitch . Right Harry ?

KEEFE’S OPINION — Cagle Cartoons

Letters (From Page A7) the unhappiest of all.

The most miserable at #1 was (which was no surprise to local residents) Tolleson. The most dangerous cities, Tolleson was #4. Violent crime rate, Tolleson was ranked #8. Property crimes, Tolleson was ranked #2.

The above documented info not only should, but also in my opinion, reflect on the negative handing, managing and overall responsibility of the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, Department heads and of course the Mayor and City Council.

The above poor rankings explain why the City Manager, the Assistant City Manager and all Department heads, including the Police Chief and the Fire Chief reside in other cities. All they get out of Tolleson is their paychecks, their loyalty is to where they live.

Next time you write in your paper all the great and positive things that the City Manager and Mayor have done for Tolleson, do the research instead of believing and writing everything they tell you.

Re: Uneducated = Republicans Editor: Withholding funds from educational institutions means a poorer education and those under educated students become Republicans. That is quite a theory. Is that based on any kind of fact or is it a case of isometric body and a glass jaw brain?

I am a Republican and went to a small school in Northern California known as “Cal”, has Mr Molina ever heard of that institution or is he just a product of a poorly funded system.

Daniel Huntsinger Buckeye

Republicans on education Editor: Alfred Molina, in his letter stating “Uneducated=Republicans” repeats the old Dem party line that Republicans hate education and don’t care about the children but his facts are sadly skewered — sort of like throw Grandma under the bus.

Many of the most poorly educated children in the US are in the inner city areas of our large cities, such as Chicago, Philadelphia, New York, St Louis etc, all of which have been under Democrat governance for decades upon decades. Although these and many other cities haven’t produced good schools in all this time, their primary efforts often are to fight parents’ choice of sending their children to alternative schools rather than fixing their problems. And from these areas the residents vote Democratic in blocks.

Whereas many suburban schools, often in cities under Republican goverance, pay large taxes which largely go to schools which educate well. It has always been a given that Republicans embrace education; it is the waste that they fight against but always for providing for the teachers or children.

It has been proven time and time again that simply throwing money at schools doesn’t elevate the education level. Spending the money well by consolidating, paying good salaries, removing inefficient teachers and providing classroom resources is the Republican position.

evangelical Christian myself, I fail to understand how any other Christian could possibly support any of these behavior challenged candidates for president of our beloved country. For what comes from their tongues comes from their hearts also.

As an American, I am embarrassed that this is on full display for all of the world to see. So as to avoid any embarrassment from our foreign tourist friends who may think I’m somehow supporting any of this, I’m considering having a t-shirt made that I will wear that will clearly state that I am not. On both sides of that t-shirt, in big bold letters it will state,…..”I AM NOT A REPUBLICAN!” in several different languages.

Editor: If you are curious about how well your city is being run, may I suggest you take the time to enroll in the City of Goodyear’s Citizens Academy.

This program covers all of the city departments from the

Mayor’s office, City Manager, Legal Services, Water and Garbage Services, Police, Fire, Parks and Recreation and Economic Development. All departments had very impressive presentation, but the Fire Department and the Police Department were particularly impressive........loved the canine unit presentation.

Many of the services provided by the City are managed as enterprise funds. The fees are based on the cost to provide the service and the fees collected can only be used to offset the costs of the services provided....

However the most impressive city program is a system that sets goals and objects and then they measure the actual results.

If your interested in learning more check out the City of Goodyear volunteer program....... and sign up for the next Citizen’s Academy.

I consider it time well spent.

Welcome to the Business Briefcase, readers!

I’m back from vacation! I know I didn’t telegraph this information beforehand, but I was out all last week in Kansas City and New York. Very different places, but nice in their own ways. Through some fancy timemanagement shuffling, I was able to take that week off without missing a Briefcase. Can’t get rid of me that easily!

If anyone is wondering how to get rid of me, sorry, that’s classified. Locked away in the Shane McOwen Business Briefcase vault.

Here’s the next fresh batch of business news, right out of the oven.

Fired Pie is now open in Avondale at 13070 W. Rancho Santa Fe Blvd., Suite C-1. It’s the newest neighbor to Subway, Ono Hawaiian BBQ and GameStop, on the south end of the Fry’s shopping center.

It’s the 14th restaurant for the company in Arizona, 12th in the Valley.

Fired Pie offers a few menu items, but the main offering is build-your-own salad or pizza (or both, if you prefer).

The company was started through three colleagues in the pizza industry, putting together their combined decades of experience in the business to launch their own restaurant.

Fired Pie is open from 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Sunday through Thursday and 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Friday and Saturday.

For information, call the restaurant at 623-266-7998 or visit www.firedpie.com.

Out in Verrado, The Vic Bar & Kitchen is now open to the public at 5325 N. Verrado Way in Buckeye. It’s located at the Victory Club in Verrado.

The restaurant aims to combine a farm-to-table menu with a spectacular view of the Valley from its 250-foot elevation advantage.

The restaurant’s hours are 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Sunday through Tuesday and 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., with last seating at 8:30 p.m., Wednesday to Saturday.

For information, call 623-533-4722 or visit www.vicbarandkitchen. com.

Also in Verrado, The Spa at The Victory Club is now open in the same area (also 5325 N. Verrado Way).

The spa has two singles treatment rooms, one couples treatment room and a full-service nail salon.

The Spa at The Victory Club is open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday and Friday through Sunday.

The spa is closed Monday.

For information, call 623-533-5422 or visit www.spaatvictoryclub. com.

Lastly, the Bashas’ on county land just north of Litchfield Park is holding a five-day celebration of its finished remodel starting at 6 a.m. today.

The grocery store, at 5115 N. Dysart Road, on the northeast corner of Dysart and Camelback roads, underwent a remodel that upgraded its look and added an

ice cream shop and a sushi bar, as well as a remodeled in-store Starbucks and lounge area.

NASCAR driver Matt Kenseth will be on location at 5 p.m. Thursday, and the first 200 shoppers who make purchases on Saturday will receive a free bag of groceries.

There’s also talk of a 10-foot “limousine” shopping cart for the occasion. That alone is enough to get me there.

I’m hoping I can talk someone into letting me keep it.

That’s all for this week, folks.

As always, send tips, questions, and/or comments to smcowen@westvalleyview.com.

I hope everyone has a great week. Now, everyone head outside and enjoy this nice weather while it lasts!

Take care.

Buckeye high school weight rooms expand

West Valley View, Avondale, Arizona, Wednesday, March 9, 2016

by Kathleen Stinson staff writer

The Buckeye Union High School District has expanded and remodeled its weight training rooms in all three of its high schools to promote total training of athletes and body fitness for all students.

Students can train for multiple sports in the weight rooms, and the coaches say it’s making a big difference in the culture of the schools.

The size of the weight rooms has been expanded by 1,500 square feet, nearly doubling the spaces.

Kelley Moore, football coach and weight instructor at Buckeye Union High School, said the additional space and new equipment have made it possible for the school to offer “full service training.”

“We preach highly multiple sports athletes,” Moore said.

The remodel is attracting not only student athletes, but also non-athletes, said Lamar Early, head football and weight coach at Estrella Foothills High School in Goodyear.

Upgrades include new flooring, a new sound system, lighting and a video projection system. The HVAC system was also upgraded, Superintendent Eric Godfrey said.

“These rooms will help promote total training of athletes in speed, strength conditioning and agility,” Godfrey said.

“This is going to help a one-sport or multiple-sport athlete or a student who just wants to have total body fitness.”

Each room now also has an artificial turf running track, which makes it possible for students to practice during summer and fall when temperatures are high in Arizona, Early said.

In addition, they have been outfitted with new lifting racks, cardio machines and medicine balls. Equipment was paid out of the district’s capital and site level budgets, Godfrey said.

A large projector screen makes it possible for the instructors and coaches to

“Athletes end up supporting each other,” he said. “[There is] more pride in school, better test scores, better grades and a feeling of ownership.”

Two years ago, Buckeye had 20 students in the classes, but now it has 100, Moore said. Thirty-three percent of the students who attend the school take physical education classes.

LITCHFIELD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICT

The students “see the value” of what the department is doing, he said.

“We have the opportunity to make a difference in the culture of the school and the weight room is the hinge point. That’s where it starts,” Moore said.

The remodeling cost about $400,000 per school and was paid for through a voterapproved bond, Godfrey said.

The district asked voters to pass a $49

million bond initiative in 2014 to pay for additional classrooms, library space and security upgrades to each campus; a laptop for every student; improve connectivity districtwide; complete much needed building and facility repairs; and purchase buses.

Scott Libby Elementary teacher says exercise seating helps pupils focus

by Kathleen Stinson staff writer

One fourth-grade teacher thinks she has found a way to harness her pupils’ restless energy and at the same time focus their attention toward learning.

Cindy Huffman, fourth-grade teacher at Scott Libby Elementary School in Waddell, received a $2,000 grant awarded through donorschoose.org to purchase “alternative seating” for her classroom.

The children use the seating options to exercise while they learn.

Donorschoose.org is a website where teachers can post classroom project requests and donors can choose the ones they want to support, according to the site.

Huffman purchased an assortment of alternatives to traditional classroom seating, such as foot pedals for under the desks, stand-up desks with swing bars, posture chairs with wheels, wobble cushions, stability balls and a wobble chair.

She said she has six pupils who are “incredibly active.”

Rather than repeatedly telling them to sit still, she said she thought she could “work the movement into their day” so the pupils’ restless energies “work for them and not against them.”

Huffman said she got the idea from a discussion with her husband, Tom, an employee of the Agua Fria Union High School District.

She said she would go home from teaching and complain to her husband about her restless pupils and their short attention spans.

After a while, her husband suggested she go to the donorschoose.org website and see if she could find a way to fund a solution.

All her pupils have the option to use the pedals and other seating choices, she said.

Pupils say they like the pedals because they are good exercise and fun, she said.

“I would say for the ones that are really active, it takes a lot of things, including bouncing on balls,” she said.

The stand-up desks are popular with the children because they have a swing bar they can push with their feet, Huffman said.

The wobble and air cushions can be placed on the chair seats allowing the pupils to move around while remaining in their chairs, she said.

“It helps them focus so that they can learn,” she said,

FOURTH-GRADER MADISON SCHROFF sits on a large ball Feb. 5 at Scott Libby Elementary School in Waddell. The ball is one of many alternative seating options provided for pupils in Cindy Huffman’s classroom. adding that the use of the equipment is “very controlled but active.” Pupils who don’t focus while using the tools lose the privilege for the day.

Huffman has 19 pupils in her class and teaches them every subject. Since she purchased 30 pedals, she loans the remainder to other teachers at the school. No other schools in the district use this type of equipment.

“The website allows teachers to get funding for important innovative ideas they want to put in their

classrooms,” she said.

However, the site attaches requirements to the gift, such as sending a thank-you note to the specific donor.

“To ensure integrity, [donorschoose.org is] there through every step of every project,” the website states.

“We vet all requests, purchase each item and ship materials directly to verified schools.”

Avondale renovating playground Public survey helps determine theme of Friendship Park play area

by Glenn Gullickson staff writer

Avondale residents who participated in surveys about playground renovations for the city’s largest and busiest park will get a look at the results when new swings and slides are installed soon.

The process for upgrading and updating two of Friendship Park’s playgrounds included giving the public a voice in the design process, according to Kirk Haines, Avondale’s director of parks, recreation and libraries.

Haines said an online survey helped the city determine the theme for new equipment going into the largest playground at the park, 12325 W. McDowell Road.

He said the survey is part of a city initiative to gather input from residents.

“One of the City Council’s objectives is to be more connected with our community,” Haines said. “They really want us to listen and take information from our residents.”

The Friendship Park survey got about 250 responses for a vote on four playground theme options that had been developed after getting feedback from residents at a city event, Haines said.

The theme selected was described by Haines as “inclusion,” a combination of play elements with a ramp system that will allow accessibility for people with disabilities.

The inclusion design was selected from prototypes that included ship, tree house and urban themes, Haines said.

Deconstruction of the current playground is to be done during the third week of March, with the new playground elements in place by April 9, when the park hosts the annual KidFest, Haines said.

“We’re going to make the grand opening of the playground part of the KidFest activities,” he said.

The new design represents the latest in playground equipment, which Haines said changes from year to year.

There will be something for all ages, with a play structure geared to children from 2 to 5 and other elements appealing to those 5 to 12, Haines said.

The new equipment includes an 8-foot tall slide, a group swing that accommodates up to six children and a climbing apparatus.

The equipment will be placed on a poured-in-place rubber and manufactured wood chip surfaces, Haines said.

A RENDERING shows what’s planned for new equipment for a playground at Avondale’s Friendship Park.

There will also be an additional shade structure and spaces for children to gather, sit and interact, Haines said.

For grown-ups, more benches will be installed along the playground’s perimeter.

Group shelters and ramadas will be part of a splash pad that is to be constructed near the playground later this year, Haines said.

It’s all part of a $3.1 million renovation at the 55-acre Friendship Park that will include restroom improvements, more parking and enhanced open spaces and sports fields for a park that attracts visitors from all over town.

Haines said plans for renovating a second playground in Friendship Park are being developed after gaining public feedback at the recent Tale of Two Cities festival.

The city is also renovating the playground at Fred Campbell Park, a neighborhood park at 101 E. Lawrence Blvd.

Save Big at The Groves

Haines said more than 50 residents gave input for the Fred Campbell playground design before equipment was ordered.

In line with the community participation idea, Haines said residents will be asked to help deconstruct the old Fred Campbell playground and assemble the new equipment.

Playground equipment that is being replaced is 10 to 12 years old, Haines said.

Intense sun shortens the lifespan of playground equipment by making its plastic brittle, he said.

The Avondale City Council approved spending up to $600,000 for playground equipment, surfaces and shade at Friendship and Fred Campbell parks.

Pet of the Week

You wanted pets, we give you pets.

With this weekly feature, readers can view profiles of adoptable cats and dogs of various shapes and sizes from Glendale’s Sun Valley Animal Shelter.

Most of the animals that will have their mugs shown in this space will be canines and felines that are a little harder to place because of size, age or a special need, but are wonderful pets nonetheless. Each animal has its own character, so if you’re smitten by an animal in this column, head down to the shelter and see for yourself.

There’s no guarantee it will still be there, but if it’s not, maybe the shelter has another animal that fits your needs and personality. Here’s this week’s Pet of the Week: NAME: Leo de Kitty SEX: Male AGE: 4 years old BREED: Domestic short hair, orange OTHER: With Leonardo DiCaprio’s recent Oscar win, the timing is perfect to celebrate it with Leo de Kitty. Leo was named after the (slightly) more famous Leo, probably because, until recently,

the two shared something in common: neither had received an Oscar. Now, the similarities are kinda hard to find.

Leo de Kitty is a very independent guy and he needs a mature home. While he can become affectionate at times, it should be understood that he will set his own pace and limits.

He’s a really smart cat who is able to do well on his own, at least, as much as a cat can.

He likes napping in cat condos, eating crunchy treats and other laid-back endeavors. Leo needs a household that is familiar and understanding of cat behavior.

Treat him well and he’ll treat you well.

Plus, think about all the Leonardo DiCaprio jokes that can be made.

To adopt Leo de Kitty or other pets from Glendale’s Sun Valley Animal Shelter, the West Valley’s largest no-kill animal shelter, call 623-872-7941 or visit the website www.sunvalleypets.org. The shelter is at 7150 N. 110th Ave., Glendale, one mile west of Loop 101, northwest of the intersection of Glendale Avenue and Glen Harbor Boulevard. Hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays.

The shelter is closed Mondays.

Desert Edge off to Vegas after strong week Lady Scorpions eye repeat championship

Desert Edge is heading to Las Vegas today, and doing so after a good week on the diamond.

The Lady Scorpions’ softball team went 3-0 between Feb. 29 and March 4, SOFTBALL and will play in the KickOff Classic in Las Vegas Thursday through Saturday.

Desert Edge won that tournament last year.

“It’s a great experience,” Desert Edge coach Hailee Nanchy said. “We see some out-of-state teams that are very competitive, so it’s great for our girls, a great bonding experience.”

The Lady Scorpions went 6-0 in Las Vegas last year, beating Aztec, New Mexico 4-0 in the championship game.

“We’re going to play six or seven games, so we’re able to see a lot of things from our girls, do some different things with the lineups, do some different executions with our signals to see what’s working and what’s not working,” Nanchy said. “Every game is important for us to try to learn as a staff.”

Desert Edge has already done a lot of lineup tweaking, as Nanchy is trying to figure out a consistent combination of girls. The Lady Scorpions lost a pair of integral players from last year’s team with

AMBRIA DORSEY of Desert Edge throws a pitch against Tolleson Feb. 29. Dorsey has pitched extremely well for the Lady Scorpions to start the season, going 5-1 with a 1.34 earned run average and 28 strikeouts in 31.1 innings.

Desert Edge is coming off a 29-4 season in which it was the No. 1 seed of the Division II state tournament.

The Lady Scorpions were eliminated in the second round of the loser’s bracket.

“I feel like there’s a target on our back every game we play,” Nanchy said. “You tell the girls, any time you go into the season as the [No.] 1 seed from the previous year, you see everybody’s best game. So, it doesn’t matter what you’ve done against anybody last year, you’ve got to play your best game every single time you step on the field.

We’re trying to change the mentality of, ‘Don’t worry about who’s on the field and who we played, what we did, play our best game and we’ll be able to beat anybody we play.’”

Upon returning from Las Vegas, Desert Edge will have a shot at redemption when traveling to Prescott at 3:30 p.m. March 18.

In addition to Dorsey’s superb pitching, she’s also done well as the Lady Scorpions’ cleanup hitter. Dorsey has eight hits, including a double, and seven RBI. When Dorsey isn’t pitching, sophomore Zoe Zoellner takes the circle. In 11.2 innings, she’s allowed nine hits and struck out eight. Her ERA is 3.0.

“She’s done really well,” Nanchy said. “She picked up a lot of the innings for Ambria. Ambria would throw three or four or five innings, get us the lead, then Zoe would come in and shut the teams down the last two or three innings.”

Marchese leads the team with 12 hits, while Dorsey’s eight are second. Naomi Matthews and Courtney Espinoza each have seven hits. Espinoza’s presence on the team was not expected, Nanchy said.

“We had a senior come out that we weren’t expecting, a big lefty playing first base that is hitting in the five hole for us,” Nanchy said of Espinoza. “She was a surprise, and she’s added some power numbers and RBI to our lineup as well.”

Desert Edge opened the season in the Sunrise Mountain Softball Tournament at Pioneer Park in Peoria. The Lady Scorpions went 2-2, beating Glendale Ironwood and Anthem Boulder Creek, but losing to Prescott and Glendale Mountain Ridge.

The loss to Prescott was the first game of the tournament, and came by a score of 6-1.

“I think the girls weren’t mentally ready, they went in expecting a different Prescott team and I don’t think they came focused and ready to go,” Nanchy said.

Nanchy also thinks jitters could have accounted for the loss, she said.

“I think it could have been, first game of the season, getting out there on the road, it’s a new team,” Nanchy said. “We’re just trying to feel things out, figure our lineup out — we moved some kids around. I think we played on our heels a little bit, couldn’t get it turned around, but I think that was a wake-up call. They’ve played phenomenal since then.”

the graduation of catcher Ari Samaniego and shortstop Jaymee Lawton. Sophomore Natalie Marchese has taken over at shortstop.

“Natalie Marchese has played a big role stepping in to the three hole and filling in for Jaymee,” Nanchy said.

“She was our backup shortstop as a freshman last year.

She’s stepped up big.”

The catching duties have been split up between senior Ashlee Jones and junior Jasmine Martinez.

“We’re mixing it up, they’re fighting for the spot, and we’re going to see which one wins the spot for the long haul,” Nanchy said.

Desert Edge has also had a change in its pitching rotation, as senior ace Sydney McLeod has been sidelined with elbow tendinitis.

“She’s out right now, rehabbing,” Nanchy said. “We’re looking to get her in by the middle of the season.”

In McLeod’s absence, senior Ambria Dorsey has stepped up and is pitching well. She’s 5-1 with a 1.34 earned run average.

“Ambria is pitching lights out,” Nanchy said. “She really has risen to the occasion. She has stepped up and put this team on her back and is leading the way for us.

She’s done a phenomenal job.”

Dorsey picked up the win against Tucson Desert View March 4, scattering 11 hits over seven innings, allowing one unearned run.

“The team is playing really well behind her, playing solid defense,” Nanchy said. “She throws it in there, they put it in play and we take care of it behind her and then score some runs.”

Marchese had a two-run triple to provide the Lady Scorpions’ offensive output against Desert View. Andrea Bejarano had two hits.

The Lady Scorpions also beat Tolleson, 14-4, and Phoenix Central, 24-0, last week. The three victories were all power-points games.

“Anytime you can start your season off 3-0, with two of them being on the road, that’s a huge victory for us,” Nanchy said. “We’re going to keep trucking along. We have two more on the road Monday and Tuesday, and then we head to Vegas Wednesday. We’re getting a lot of games in, we’re able to see a lot of things as coaches and hopefully put us in the right position to head down the stretch.”

Desert Edge played at Mesa Westwood Monday and at Phoenix St. Mary’s Tuesday. The results of both games were unavailable at press time.

Local Buckeye schools team up to provide amazing opportunities for students

by Rafael Alvarez special to the View

State basketball tournaments have just wrapped up, where the champions of each respective division have been crowned. However, for Buckeye’s unified basketball team, there was more to the tournament than just trying to win a championship, it was giving an opportunity to a group of students to participate in something they’ll never forget.

The Buckeye Union High School District participated in the Arizona Interscholastic Association’s 2016 February Frenzy State Basketball Tournament Feb. 26 at Gila River Arena in Glendale. Four schools were invited to participate in the Unified Basketball Invitational, representing the AIA/Special Olympics Arizona Unified Program, with Buckeye being one of them. The other three schools were Marana High School, Marana Mountain View High School and Ganado High School.

Each team combines special education students and general education students, giving them the experience of playing on a team, as well as playing in a tournament. It was Buckeye’s first year with a unified team, as it was able to partner up with the Special Olympics and its Project Unify sports program to make it possible.

The team consists of students from schools within the Buckeye Union High School District (Youngker, Buckeye, Estrella Foothills and the Learning Center), as well as Desert Choice Schools. Desert Choice is a private, special education-based school that partners up with school districts to provide an education to students who are in need of extra support or service than what a regular high school can provide for them, according to Desert Choice Schools Executive Director Pete Brown.

Even though Buckeye’s unified team was not able to win it all, that was not the focus. What Buckeye and the other schools participating in those events have done is allow special education students to experience something they couldn’t do in a regular sports competition setting.

Luis Angel Viniegra and his wife, Sylvia De La Huerta, are parents of fraternal twins, Edmundo and Edgar, both of whom are on Buckeye’s unified basketball team.

Viniegra and De La Huerta didn’t know if something like that would ever be possible.

“For the longest time, I knew it would be very challenging, but [we] were always hopeful,” Viniegra said. “Desert Choice has a phenomenal program that’s streamlined possibilities for our children and the rest of the students.”

When Brown first found out about February Frenzy, he was thrilled to hear the news, he said.

“I couldn’t be more excited that there would be an opportunity for our students who struggle with being able to deal with social and emotional skills, and other special education needs,” Brown said. “Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to experience playing on a competitive team.”

Now, events like this are something Buckeye schools can look forward to every year, and not just in basketball, but also in football and track, and potentially soccer and cheerleading down the road. The response has

Kaylah Hampton excelling at Purdue Verrado grad having success as Lady Boilermakers’ backstop

by Casey Pritchard sports editor

Kaylah Hampton wound up in a great situation with Purdue University during her freshman season last year. The 2014 graduate of Verrado High School got an opportunity to play regularly, and didn’t disappoint.

“I didn’t really know [how much playing time I’d get], and then there was kind of a funky situation and one of the other catchers that was on the team, she ended up leaving and I was the one left and I kind of fell into that situation,” Hampton said. “I was very grateful. It was really cool getting to play that much and get that much experience. The college game is so much different than travel ball and high school, so getting all those games in, all the experience, was a cool experience for me and I turned up a pretty good year in the end.”

Hampton wound up playing in all 56 of the Lady Boilermakers’ games, starting 55 of them. She hit .267 with eight doubles, one triple and eight home runs.

Hampton also scored 17 runs and drove home 32, eight of which were game-winning RBI. She even reached base safely in 43 games, putting together an on-base percentage of .389.

Hampton said the biggest thing she’s learned about hitting, and is still learning, is going to the plate with a plan.

“Not just walking up there having no idea what you’re going to do or what to expect,” Hampton said. “My coach always said, ‘Don’t miss the five warmup pitches. See something, give yourself some kind of information.’ I’ve really taken that to heart and really pay attention to what I might see in the box, instead of just going up there with no idea. I think that kind of helped me a lot as far as my approach. I’m still working on that this year.”

Hampton’s improved approach has shown in her numbers at the plate. This season, Hampton has played in 12 of the team’s first 19 games and has a .381 average.

Hampton has eight hits, including one home run, which came in front of friends and family during the seasonopening Hillenbrand Invitational Feb. 12-14 at the University of Arizona in Tucson.

“That’s always fun, hitting a home run,” Hampton said.

In addition to her home run, Hampton also had two sacrifice bunts that weekend. As a team player, Hampton appreciates that aspect of her offensive game even more.

“Getting those down was really huge for me,” Hampton said. “Home runs are nice, you can’t complain, they’re pretty, but getting those bunts down, that was more important to me than the home runs because that’s something I wasn’t able to do well enough for my team last year, so to be able to do that was a huge confidence boost. Moving runners, those are the little things that make a huge difference at this level.”

CALEB STULL of Millennium swings at a pitch against Marana March 4. Stull had one of the Tigers’ hits in an eight-run fourth inning, which led to an 11-1 victory.

Backstop (From Page B4) Hampton’s collegiate highlights thus far because of her childhood admiration of the Lady Wildcats.

“Growing up, watching U of A on TV, saying wow, I want to play college ball — and then actually getting to play on that field, and my whole family was there — that experience was definitely something I’m not going to forget,” Hampton said. “Even though we didn’t win as many games as we wanted to that weekend, I think we got better as a team.”

Purdue won three of its five games that weekend. Overall, the Lady Boilermakers are 12-7.

They’ve yet to play a Big-10 game, but Hampton said the team’s goal is to win the conference. In 2015, Purdue went 7-14 in the Big-10.

“Goal wise, we kind of established we want to win Big-10,” Hampton said. “I really believe in our talent this year, I really think we can do that.”

Individual goal Individually, Hampton’s goal is to be more consistent as a team player.

In addition to her offensive improvement, Hampton also has advanced as a defensive player.

She’s been working on making more advanced calls from behind the plate.

“Fundamentally, of course I continue to do drills and things like that, but what I really needed to work on was making those next-level decisions: knowing when to go out and talk to your pitcher, knowing what play to call and what to say, what not to say,” Hampton said. “It’s the more advanced side [of the game]. Not that I hadn’t learned, but I hadn’t taught myself to think that way. I feel like we’ve gotten a lot more lead runners out, we’re doing a lot more things we

weren’t able to do, just because of that higherlevel thinking.”

Hampton has built a good rapport with her pitchers, she said. Last year, as a freshman, she had to catch staff ace Lilly Fecho, who was a junior, regularly.

“Me and Lilly … we hit it off right away,” Hampton said. “She really didn’t let [our age difference] determine our relationship. We saw eye to eye and she really let me in and talked to me, things like that, so our relationship was pretty good from the start.”

Hampton has noticed that all pitchers are different at the collegiate level, so she’s had to learn each and every pitcher’s style and how to talk to them.

“That can take time, but I feel like we’re already off to a good start,” Hampton said. “Our other pitchers, we’ve got a freshman this year, she’s really coming out of her shell and that’s cool to watch.”

Hampton’s defense has been superb this year, as she’s made only one error in 73 chances, good for a fielding percentage of .986. Hampton has also thrown out two of seven would-be base stealers.

Overall, Hampton said things are going great.

“Coming into college, I didn’t expect it to be this awesome,” she said. “I knew it would be fun to play college ball, but it’s truly, already been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, so I can’t complain. It’s awesome.”

Hampton compliments her teammates for making it such a wonderful experience.

“Your experiences can be heavily influenced by the people you surround yourself with, and I feel like I’m surrounded by, essentially, a family here,” Hampton said. “I can go to anyone for anything. I consider all my teammates my sisters, and I think that bond is really something special that it’s hard to find. It’s hard to keep something like that. That’s my favorite part.”

fourth inning when sophomore infielder Logan McDonald started a rally, which concluded in eight runs for Millennium.

The inning included hits from Alex Figueroa, Caleb Stull and David Enriquez.

After Enriquez went home on a passed ball, Marana’s pitcher walked four of the next six batters, helping the Tigers encompass an 11-1 lead in the bottom of the fourth.

The defense held Marana in the top of the fifth, rewarding the Tigers with their first win in the regular season.

Millennium’s win over Marana consisted of three errors and eight hits.

“I think that these first two games will really set the tone for how our season will be and give us a look at what we need to improve on as we prepare for our future games,” Stull said. “My favorite aspect of this team is the chemistry that we have because it’s always fun to get out and compete with this group of guys.”

Bethel said he believes winning the section championship and making the playoffs consistently is becoming an expectation of the program, and he and his team are aware that they need to build off of that every single season.

“I expect us to show up and compete every day. This also means that we are mentally and physically prepared day in and day out,” Bethel said. “If we can do those things, wins will take care of themselves.”

An interested person may be granted intervention if the outcome of the case will directly and substantially impact the person, and the person’s intervention will not unduly broaden the issues in the case. Intervention, among other things, entitles a party to present sworn evidence at hearing and to cross-examine other parties’ witnesses. However, failure to intervene will not preclude any interested person or entity from appearing at the hearing and providing public comment on the application or from filing written comments in the record of the case.

To request intervention, you must file an original and 13 hard copies of a written request to intervene with Docket Control, 1200 West Washington Street, Phoenix, AZ 85007, no later than April 5, 2016. You also must serve a copy of the request to intervene on each part of record, on the same day that you file the request to intervene with the Commission.

Your interest in the proceeding (e.g., an owner of property in the proposed extension area, etc.) b. How you will be directly and substantially affected by the outcome of the case and c. Why your intervention will not unduly broaden the issues in the case; A statement certifying that you have served a copy of the request to intervene on the utility or its attorney and all other parties of record in the case; and If you are not represented by an attorney who is an active member of the Arizona State Bar, and you are not representing yourself as an individual, sufficient information and any appropriate documentation demonstrate compliance with Arizona Supreme Court Rules 31, 38, 39, and 42, as applicable.

The granting of motions to intervene shall be governed by A.A.C. R14-3-105, except that all motions to intervene must be filed on or before April 5, 2016.

If representation by counsel is required by Arizona Supreme Court Rule 31, intervention will be conditioned upon the intervenor obtaining counsel to represent the intervenor.
