State funding for school in jeopardy AFUHSD moving forward with planning

by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

The Agua Fria Union High School District is moving forward with designs for a fifth campus despite uncertainty about whether or not it will get state funding that was already approved for the build.

In February, the district was awarded $33.4 million from the Arizona School Facilities Board to help fund the new campus, but now the money is in jeopardy.

District officials received a draft copy of the proposed senate budget earlier this month, which included a suggestion by the Joint Legislative Budget Committee for eliminating funding for the school as a way for the state to save money.

If approved, the line item added to the budget would change the formula used to determine a school district’s capacity and whether or not a (See Funding on Page 3)

Charges dismissed in freeway shooting case

When the weather heats up, food donations go down, leaving local food banks with depleted supplies.

In order to stock their shelves with essentials during the summer, the West Valley View is launching its 11th annual summer food drive May 1-31.

Boxes will be placed throughout the West Valley this month to collect non-perishable food donations.

“The summer food drives are very beneficial for us, because most people think about donating and giving around the holiday season,” said Leanne Leonard, executive director of the Agua Fria Food & Clothing Bank (See Food drive on Page 5)

All charges have been dropped against a man who spent seven months in jail accused of terrorizing Valley freeways last fall.

Judge Warren Granville ruled Monday to dismiss the case against Leslie Merritt Jr. after the state filed a motion to do so April 22. The charges were dismissed without prejudice, meaning they could be filed again in the future if new evidence is presented.

In his order, Granville told defense attorneys if they want to pursue action with prejudice, they must file a written motion no later than May 6.

Merritt, 21, was charged with 15 felony counts in connection to four of the 11 shootings last August on Interstate 10.

Granville ordered his release with an electronic monitor April 19 after new evidence came into play.

“I told you guys in the beginning I didn’t do it.

I’m telling you now as I’m going home,” Merritt said as he left the jail. “Right now, I just want to go home and be with my kids.”

He was arrested Sept. 18, 2015, after the Arizona Department of Public Safety allegedly matched his 9mm handgun to bullet fragments collected from vehicles.

“Essentially, the only evidence was the link between the gun pawned by Mr. Merritt and the bullets,” defense attorney Jason Lamm said in court before Merritt’s release. “The state’s own expert now says that the identification or match that DPS made does not exist.”

Merritt denied responsibility for the freeway shootings since his arrest.

Last month, he filed a $10 million notice of claim alleging that no evidence had been produced that put him at the scene of the shootings.

The claim seeks to recover lost wages, legal expenses and compensation for “suffering, pain, anxiety and fear.” He is seeking $2.5 million each from the state, Maricopa County, Gov. Doug Ducey and County Attorney Bill Montgomery.

The defense filed a motion Tuesday to unseal the pleadings in the case.

“None of this would be happening without local community support and the understanding of the importance of having an educated workforce,” he said.

“We’re not attempting to add additional tax burden, we’re asking for the state to partner with the local community that stepped up to the plate.”

If the funding is cut, items such as bioscience labs, athletic fields, parking and a competition gym would not be included initially at the new school, and a portion of the classroom and administrative space would be built as a shell, Runyan said.

“Those are things we’re struggling with now to decide which is priority and which is not,” he said. “We’re not attempting to build a Taj Mahal, we’re attempting to build a comprehensive high school that is sustainable into the future for the needs of the community.”

Innovative campus The 200,000-square-foot school, which will have a science focus, is scheduled to open in fall 2018 and would house only freshman students the first year.

The location should be announced by July 1, and a committee will be created to determine boundaries, a school name, colors and a mascot, Runyan said.

More than 100 students have already been involved in the process, as well as teachers from each campus and community members.

Conceptual designs call for the school to have four learning suites, which the district has nicknamed “forts,” that will

have moveable walls. Each suite would have six classrooms, two lab spaces and a common area in the center.

“It’s fundamentally going to change the way the classroom looks, but in a very positive way,” Runyan said. “It’s reflective of industry and project learning.”

The suites can be reconfigured into seven or eight different shapes depending on what the teachers have planned for the day, Huffman said.

“The classrooms are designed to kind of force the instructors to not just be in the regular classroom all the time and get them out and be out on campus,” he said.

The school will also incorporate the latest technology, which has changed drastically since Verrado opened in 2006, before Chromebooks, iPads or Facebook was popular, Huffman said.

“This is our first chance to build a school since those things happened,” he said. “We plan on using that school as an accelerator and a launching pad for what happens at our four current schools.”

While the new campus is innovative, the district has worked to minimize costs wherever possible, Runyan said.

“It’s not so much that you’re using space-age materials and super cool this and that; it’s more how you organize your space,” Huffman said. “You can either just line the classrooms up and put walls between them, or use the latest in brain research and listen to what the community and real world is saying — that kids need to collaborate, there needs to be engagement and a real-world connection and project-based learning.”

The Tolleson Union High School District’s top position will need to be filled for next year after Superintendent Lexi Cunningham accepted a position in Utah.

The Salt Lake City School District Board of Education voted Monday night to appoint Cunningham as superintendent of schools effective July 1.

“I was looking for an opportunity to grow as a leader and to move to a larger district, a K-12 district, and when I came upon the Salt Lake City position, I was excited about the opportunity to be in a capital city and to work in a district that was already doing so many amazing things,” Cunningham said.

The unified district has about 24,000 pupils in 27 elementary schools, five middle schools, Lexi three high schools and one alternative high school, according Cunningham to its website.

Its board selected Cunningham based on her experience and abilities related to urban education leadership, instructional leadership, shared governance and collaborative leadership and relevant work history, according to a press release.

Cunningham has led Tolleson since September 2011, and before that was the assistant superintendent of educational services for the Agua Fria Union High School District in Avondale.

Tolleson has six high schools and two alternative campuses. It will have a projected enrollment of about 11,500 students this fall, Cunningham said.

The Tolleson Governing Board has not started talking about the process to find a replacement, said Karyn Morse Eubanks, a district spokeswoman.

Cunningham is under contract with the Tolleson district until June 30.

OUR VIEWPOINT

GRANLUND’S OPINION — PoliticalCartoons.com

EDITORIAL

Botched case reminiscent of Temple Murders Bill Montgomery, you have a lot of explaining to do.

The last time a high profile case was botched this badly, it was 1991 and five men from Tucson spent about two months in jail for a crime they did not commit.

It was the worst mass murder in the state’s history. Six monks, an elderly nun and two acolytes were murdered at the Wat Promkunaram Buddhist temple in the West Valley.

In the state’s haste to pin the grizzly murders on someone, the men, who would become known as the Tucson Five, were indicted. The sole evidence: their confessions.

One of the five, Michael Lawrence McGraw, a patient at a mental hospital in Tucson, confessed and fingered the other four. Only the four men and the police officers conducting the interviews at a downtown Phoenix motel know exactly what happened, but confessions were extracted.

Defense attorneys for the Tucson Five claimed the confessions were coerced and cited the state’s inability to produce any additional evidence.

That additional evidence would surface when a .22-caliber rifle was found in the car of two Agua Fria High School students attempting to enter Luke Air Force Base.

The rifle turned out to be the murder weapon, and the two teenagers were arrested and convicted.

Fast forward 25 years and it feels like déjà vu.

Last summer, the Valley was terrorized by a string of freeway shootings.

Much like the Temple Murders, police hastily hauled in Leslie Merritt Jr., a former Avondale man who pawned his 9mm around the same timeframe. That very night, Gov. Doug Ducey took to Twitter, proclaiming, “We got him!”

Although the shootings numbered 11, the state could only tie four of them to Merritt.

But that tenuous tie would begin to unravel when it was determined that his gun was in a pawn shop during one of the shootings. Still steamrolling ahead, the state simply changed the date of the shooting, claiming that the car tire, which had been shot, must have held air for a few days afterward.

Throughout Merritt’s seven-month stretch in solitary, his lawyers fought for his release, arguing that the state had no physical evidence tying him to any of the shootings.

The state’s case unraveled further April 19 when his bond was reduced to zero, and completely fell apart Monday when the case was dismissed. Apparently, that evidence the state claimed it had linking bullet fragments to Merritt’s 9mm never existed.

Either the test conducted to match the bullet fragments to the 9mm was done so hastily that it resulted in a false positive or they made it all up.

But just like with the Temple Murders, in a rush to catch the “bad guy” and ease our minds, they arrested the wrong guy and then did everything in their power to make the charges stick.

Merritt is seeking $10 million for lost wages, legal expenses and compensation for suffering, pain, anxiety and fear. He is seeking $2.5 million each from Montgomery, Ducey, the state of Arizona and Maricopa County.

He will probably get it and rightfully so. He will never get those seven months back. While everyone who put him there was enjoying the freedom to eat dinner every night with their families, to sleep on their pillow top mattresses in their cozy homes, to pick out Christmas trees and see the excitement on their children’s faces, Merritt was in a cage for a crime he did not commit. Who can put a price tag on something like that?

The Tucson Five got a total of about $2.8 million, but considering that was 25 years ago and they only spent two months behind bars for a crime they did not commit, $10 million sounds about right.

And considering we the taxpayers are going to foot that bill, we’d like to know when the state realized its evidence was bogus, if that’s what it was. How much longer did an innocent man have to suffer? Or, even worse, we’d like to know if it was a lie, if the state lied about evidence it never had, and why.

And finally, we’d like to know if anyone is back to looking for the bad guy.

pay more money to modernize his stadium for the team? It’s only 18 years old! Many other teams stadiums were much older than that when they had work done on them. Fortunely if the county gives in on this I won’t see my taxes go up. My neighbors have actually gone to some games over the years.

When I was little and we visited relatives in the Chicago area, I had an Aunt that took me to one Whitesox game and later two Cubs games. I remember the Cubs games. My best baseball memories were of the triple A Phoenix Giants. A friend of mines Father took us to three Phoenix Giants games. I saw Willie McCovey hitting home runs and a Short-stop named Andre Rogers doing the same along with stolen bases. We were surprised that Rogers didn’t make the Pros!

For true fans it isn’t the Stadium that draws them, it is the GAME! I’m on retirement income and I live so far from the Stadium that I wouldn’t drive that far for a game, when I can watch it on my T.V. Bernard Oviatt Sr. Salome

I cannot wait until the new Harkins theatre opens up in Goodyear later this year. We are not getting the mall . That is for sure despite the rosy picture the Goodyear city council paints for us about anchor stores and all that other malarkey . However as for me I am just thankful that we in the west valley are going to have something the east valley does not have, which would be the largest Harkins theatre in the state of Arizona !

Speaking of which, I am also very thankful it is not an AMC theatre. It has been reported that AMC is strongly considering allowing texting in their theaters while the movie is going on .

They want to please the younger generation. Isn’t that thoughtful.

First it was ok to put your feet on the sear ahead of you. Then it was ok to bring screaming little kids into the theatre. Soon it may be ok to text during the movie at AMC theaters Anyway one final thought.

Maybe with all the added sales tax revenue the new Harkins will produce for Goodyear, maybe the Goodyear city council could lighten up on the food tax shoppers have to pay at the super market . Maybe but as the saying goes “ Don’t hold your breath “

Hooray for Harkins Editor: Like many of you out there,

Trump not qualified Editor: Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is unqualified to run for president, simply by what he say’s and what he believes. Examples.

Mexico will pay for the wall, by the U.S withholding all money from all people [ That’s Billions ]sending their own money, south into Mexico. The British say he unqualified, for his idiotic comments about getting rid of Nato. Donald Trump says we are headed for another recession. No we are not. The real fun is yet to happen. When the RNC have their convention in Cleveland.

That’s when the carnival barker will preach his real motto of fear, hate, devide and conquer america, like only he can. Why is Cleveland using 20 million dollars of federal money, for riot gear, needed for the convention.

I mean if everybody has a gun , wouldn’t that make clevaland the safest place to be in america at that time?

Vegan diet saves planet Editor: With the 47th annual observance of Earth Day just around the corner, this is a great time to explore more effective ways of slowing climate change and conserving Earth’s natural resources for future generations.

A 2010 UN report charged animal agriculture with 19% of man-made greenhouse gases — more than all transport — and recommended a global shift to a vegan diet. A subsequent World Watch study placed that contribution closer to 50%. Meat and dairy production also dumps more water pollutants than all other human activities combined.

It is the driving force in global

Gun show loophole a myth Editor: Re “Gun Control Is No Laughing Matter”, WVV April 13th. I refer to the writer from Avondale by his initials, “PO”.

A string of studies by the FBI and Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) have consistently shown that a very tiny minority of criminals get their firearms at gun shows. The “Gun Show Loophole” is a myth. A 2006 FBI study of Criminals who attacked Law Enforcement Officers found that NONE of the attackers rifles, Shotguns, or handguns were obtained from gun shows or related activities.

Ninety-seven percent of guns in the study were obtained illegally, and the assailants interviewed had nothing but contempt for gun control laws.

As one offender put it, “the 8,000 new gun control laws would have made absolutely no difference, whatsoever, about me getting a gun….I never went into a gun store or to a GUN SHOW or to a pawn shop or any place else where firearms are legally bought and sold.

with 18,000 inmates at state prisons revealed that less than one percent (0.7%) of guns used by criminals came from Gun Shows.

Closing the so called “Gun Show Loophole” actually translates to closing Gun Shows, I suspect that “PO” lacks the moral fiber to admit that.

Incidentally the noun “PO”, is, in the UK, a slang word for a chamber pot. A chamber pot is a porcelain vessel which would be a most suitable receptacle for “PO’s” idiotic rhetoric regarding law abiding gun owners who oppose his hoplophobic opinions by exercising their constitutionally protected 2nd Amendment rights. As always, with respect.

to silence him on these pages (April 13th).

Roy conveniently forgot that the bigotry came from Evangelical Christians (like Rick Perry supporter: Pastor Robert Jeffress) who denounced Romney’s Mormon faith as a “cult”! (A charge Billy Graham’s website also has made.)

But then, Roy’s engaging in religious bigotry too. Why must the next President be an Evangelical Christian, or any Christian at all? The Constitution doesn’t require that.

In fact, it forbids such religious tests for public office. (Article 6, Paragraph 3) Wouldn’t a nice Jew do as well (or don’t we have “spiritual values”)?

Isn’t Judaism “Conservatively Correct”?

Regarding those attempts to “silence” him: I have regularly defended his right, and the right of all “conservatives”, to express their views here. (See my letters of 1/21/11 and 12/30/11.) And I’ve been the subject of such “attacks” too. (For example,

Satisfied with coot culling Editor: Regarding recent comments about slaughtering or “culling (my word) of Coots.” As a resident living on the shoreline of the south end of South Lake in Estrella Mountain Ranch for 15 years, I can attest to the deplorable filthy mess left by Coots impacting foot traffic around the lake. Not only is it unsightly and disgusting, It is also challenging to avoid stepping in Coot poop and it does create a potential health hazard (See Letters on Page 8)

deforestation and wildlife habitat destruction.

Last fall, England’s prestigious Chatham House declared that reducing meat consumption is critical to achieving global climate goals. A report from Oxford University found that global adoption of a vegan diet would reduce greenhouse emissions by two thirds. The 2015 U.S. Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee has recommended reduced meat consumption and an environmentaslly sustainable diet.

Just as we replace fossil fuels by wind, solar, and other sustainable energy sources, we must replace animal foods with the more sustainable vegetables, fruits, and grains. Being mindful of this can help us make better choices at the supermarket.

GRANLUND’S OPINION — PoliticalCartoons.com

Letters (From Page 7) to both people and their pets.

As being part of EMT efforts to mitigate this situation for several years, it always came back to the need to reduce the Coot population during their migration period but we were reluctant to implement such a measure for humane reasons. So as we kept trying other methods the problem continued to get worse. Now, I have noticed a large decrease in Coot population and accompanying mess in the last two years as a result of EMR management taking the responsible action of culling to a manageable size. Therefore, as a dues paying EMR resident I am very pleased with the current policy and can finally enjoy my walk on the sidewalk around the lake.

Lastly, I don’t know where or how those witting letters of complaints are coming up with their positions but I can attest it is not accurate or worse, dishonest. Protecting people over messy fowls is not extreme; and yes, I do realize this issue is small potatoes when compared to the mess this nation and the world is in — but it is something we can directly remedy.

He has arrived Editor: While channel surfing last night I ran into the Jim Baker Show. I fondly remember spending a very dull summer

watching the Jim Baker and Jessica Huhn Saga play out.

Later Jim Baker was sent to prison for 100 years by some government agents who also were have a very dull summer.

The Show was about the newest findings concerning the 2016 arrival of the Anti-Christ.

It was said that the Ant-Christ had made himself known to a group of Rabbis in Israel and they had determined he was the real deal.

Carrying on my channel surfing I ran across one of Trumps wake up calls, Trump, “ We are going to kick their Ass !� I don’t know if Ass has an S on the end of it or not, since it is referring to the whose group of Democrats ?

We need to look no further the Anti Christ is here and its Trump , no tests needed.

Vickie Chelini Buckeye

Dems offer positive points Editor: A couple of WVV readers have recently accused me of bias in some of my letters. I am “shocked, shocked I tell you� by the charge. In my defense, I cite the campaign rhetoric of the GOP candidates. They promise to build a big wall on our southern border, kill the families of foreign terrorists, increase our military activity in the Middle East, punish a woman for having an abortion, restrict Muslims and members of the LGBT community, repeal the ACA, get tough on crime, cut taxes, increase military spending and balance the budget. And they deny that human activity

contributes to dangerous global warming.

In contrast, the Democratic contenders offer a more positive and realistic perspective.

They recognize that our borders and ports of entry are more secure than ever. They oppose un-American restrictions on minorities. They favor affordable health care for every citizen and a reduction in our prison population. They are aware the tax cuts and wars under the Bush administration have built our deficit by trillions of dollars and that a better way to grow the economy is to have more middleclass and lower-income workers with living wage salaries. They realize the U.S. should be a major contributor in a multi-nation

destruction of ISIS but do not want American troops to bear the brunt of this effort. And they have detailed plans to combat humancaused climate change.

These are some of the differences that separate the conservative and liberal positions. If voters can look beyond the slogans and hyperbole of the campaigns, I think they will choose a future with the values espoused by Clinton and Sanders and not the anger and fear that Trump and Cruz employ to distort traditional Republican positions.

Neighbors of an egg processing operation in the far West Valley are expressing frustration with a county agency whose help they need to eliminate an ongoing odor problem they say is affecting their way of life.

Residents near Hickman’s Family Farms in Tonopah are asking the Maricopa County Air Quality Department to deny the egg ranch’s latest request for permits for additional equipment at the plant that houses millions of chickens.

Opponents said the plant already violates federal emission standards, creating what one critic called a “stench zone” that causes health and environmental issues and hurts business and property values in the rural community.

Area resident Dan Mack said scores of complaints about the poultry manure odor is evidence that the plant is violating pollution standards and suggested the county isn’t doing enough for residents.

“You’re supposed to protect us,” Mack told officials conducting a public hearing on the permits April 19 in Tonopah. “Government is here to protect people. We shouldn’t have to fight the government to get things done.”

Hickman’s is seeking permits for eight emergency engines and two boilers at the Tonopah facility, which will create emissions critics say will increase negative air quality and cause a stench that will include hazardous levels of ammonia.

The plant’s opponents said it has been operating without proper permitting since opening in 2014 at Indian School Road and 415th Avenue.

Steven Brittle, president of the environmental group Don’t Waste Arizona, said a criminal investigation is warranted, claiming the public has been misled about the odor issue.

“You’re setting a standard that allows people to sicken

and die,” Brittle told the state hearing officers. “The little children in this area are doomed.”

Michael Wirth invited public officials to witness the stench by staying at the Saddle Mountain RV Park, which he operates about a half mile from the plant.

“You have to see this to believe what’s happening,” Wirth said. “I’m scared to death what we’re breathing is going to have a long-term affect on our health.”

Wirth said he gets daily complaints from seniors who stay at the park, where staffers regularly scoop feathers from the community’s pool.

He said he expects the situation to get worse as the facility continues to expand.

Opponents claim the egg ranch houses 3 million hens, with the capacity for 10 million birds, in a facility that includes 28 laying houses and four wastewater ponds.

The odor is particularly bad in the evening, according to Linda Butler, a longtime critic of Hickman’s and leader of the citizens group Save Tonopah Oppose Poultry Plant, which made up the majority of about three dozen people who attended the 100-minute hearing.

She said the worst of the odor occurs from about 7 to 10 p.m.

“That’s after county agencies are closed, so no one comes out to monitor it,” she said.

Butler’s son, David, said he had moved from Los Angeles to what he hoped was his dream home before the odor changed his opinion of the region.

“It’s at the whim of the wind whether I get to enjoy a day or not,” he said.

Steven Love of Arlington said the smell has gotten worse since the Air Quality Department approved a permit for additional equipment at a similar plant Hickman’s operates in nearby Arlington.

That permit application raised objections at a hearing in October and opponents have also filed a complaint

Police issue sex offender notices View report

Buckeye and Avondale police have issued public alerts about registered sex offenders who have moved into their cities.

Louie Gonzales, 29, is living at a home in the 90 block of Third Louie Gonzales Avenue West in Buckeye, southeast of Miller and Maricopa roads, police said.

Gonzales is not wanted by any law enforcement agency, said Officer Tamela Skaggs, a Buckeye police spokeswoman.

In 2005, Gonzales was convicted of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, Skaggs said.

Authorities have classified Gonzales as a Level II, or intermediate-risk, sex offender, Skaggs said.

William Duncan, 70, is living at a home in the 2000 block of North 104th Drive,

southwest of Encanto Boulevard and 103rd Avenue in Avondale, police said.

Duncan is not wanted by any law enforcement agency, said Sgt. Brandon Busse, an Avondale police spokesman.

In 1984, William Duncan Duncan was convicted in Maricopa County Superior Court of attempted child molestation, and he was convicted this year for failure to register as a sex offender, Busse said.

His victim, a 15-year-old girl, was known to him, Busse said.

Authorities have classified Duncan as a Level II, or intermediate-risk, sex offender, Busse said.

The alerts are the result of the Arizona sex offender law that took effect in 1996.

The law requires community notification for some sex offenders.

Love said the situation has caused him and his parents to put their property up for sale, which he claimed is a trend in the region.

“We just can’t fight this anymore,” he said.

“Apparently, no one wants to live next to this. Values are dropping like a stone.”

Love said a survey he did found 39 properties for sale around the Arlington plant and noted that a house across the street from that Hickman’s location had been abandoned.

He said there are 265 properties for sale in Tonopah, including 70 within five miles of the plant.

The Hickmans are “simply taking advantage of weak laws on the books,” Love said. “This whole area is going to turn into a chicken republic.”

Love and others noted that the area’s representative on the County Board of Supervisors, Clint Hickman, has a conflict of interest since he is a co-owner of the business causing him to recuse himself from decisions regarding the plant.

Mike Butler said the issue has brought the community together.

“We’ve had to become a family out here to oppose this thing that was forced upon us,” he said. “We’re not Hickman haters, but their business is affecting our lifestyle.”

Hearing officers said they could take testimony, but couldn’t respond to questions, which they said will be answered by the department as it makes its decision, perhaps as early as a month after the hearing.

Billy Hickman, co-owner and vice president of operations for the egg ranch, did not respond to a phone message requesting comment for this story.

Woman sought after police find dog in locked vehicle

by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office is asking for help locating a woman who allegedly left her dog in a locked car at a shopping center near Watson and Yuma roads in Buckeye.

Deputies are looking for Mary Newell-Finger, 41, who they say left a Siberian husky unattended in her vehicle at about 11:30 a.m. April 6 as she went into a local business, said Detective Doug Matteson, a spokesman with MCSO. The vehicle’s motor was turned off and the windows were closed, leaving no air circulation as the temperature inside the car reached more than 115 degrees, Matteson said.

The dog was taken to a veterinarian for a medical check-up, and it appears he will have no lasting health issues.

He is being cared for at the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office M.A.S.H unit, Matteson said.

Several attempts have been made by detectives to locate Newell-Finger but with no success, he said.

She is described as 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighing 120 pounds and having brown hair and blue eyes.

If you have information on the case, or know the whereabouts of NewellFinger, contact MCSO at 602-8761011.

Avondale man arrested Buckeye men plead guilty to 2015 murder of friend in Glendale murder

by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

An Avondale man was arrested April 19 in connection to the murder of a teenager in Glendale, which police believe was committed during the sale of a gaming console, officials said.

Aaron Ott, 19, faces charges of first-degree murder and armed robbery after the April 17 fatal shooting near Aaron Ott 65th Avenue and Mountain View Road in Glendale, police said.

Ott allegedly set up a meeting that day with 16-year-old Miguel Navarro after seeing an Xbox for sale on the website OfferUp, court records state.

According to records, when Miguel refused to give up the gaming console, Ott allegedly shot him in the back and ran off.

Miguel was able to call 911 and request an ambulance before collapsing, and a neighbor performed CPR until medical crews arrived, records state.

Glendale police were called to the scene at about 4:50 p.m. and found the teen shot in his driveway, police said.

The Peoria Fire Department treated him on scene for life-threatening injuries and transported him to a local hospital, where he later died, police said.

Witnesses provided detectives with a possible description of the suspect and said he fled eastbound on foot and then left in a vehicle, police said.

Ott’s vehicle was also allegedly seen leaving the scene on multiple residential surveillance cameras in the area, police said.

Text messages on Miguel’s phone

detailing the sale were traced through OfferUp to Pedro Claro-Fernandez, records state.

Police conducted surveillance April 18 on a house connected to Claro-Fernandez and allegedly saw a vehicle pulling up that matched the one from the shooting, records state.

Claro-Fernandez was taken in for questioning and allegedly told police Ott asked him to help find a gaming system and also install an app on his phone to block his number, records state.

On the day of the scheduled meet-up, Ott allegedly picked up Claro-Fernandez and they went to Miguel’s house, parking around the corner, records state.

Claro-Fernandez told police he waited in the vehicle and about three minutes after Ott left, he heard a gunshot and saw Ott running with a backpack, records state.

When they discussed what happened, Ott allegedly told Claro-Fernandez that he “did what he had to do” when Miguel wouldn’t give up the Xbox, records state.

Claro-Fernandez told detectives that he didn’t know Ott had a gun or that he was planning to shoot Miguel, records state.

Ott allegedly asked Claro-Fernandez to keep the Xbox for a while, because he couldn’t get caught with it, records state.

After conducting search warrants, police allegedly found the Xbox, video games and a gun magazine with .45-caliber ammunition at Claro-Fernandez’s house, records state.

Ott allegedly told police he has no memory of what happened, because he was high on marijuana, and denied shooting Miguel, records state.

Two Buckeye men charged with the April 28, 2015, death of a friend changed their pleas this month to guilty of second-degree murder, court records state.

Richard Burns, Richard Burns 19, and Zakary Howard, 22, who originally faced charges of first-degree murder and aggravated armed robbery, are due back in court June 15 for sentencing.

They were arrested last April in the death of Matthew Christensen, 19, of Buckeye who was found dead April 29 near 236th Lane and Hilton Avenue in Buckeye.

According to court records, Burns told investigators he took a .22-caliber rifle to the scene the night of April 28 to shoot some cans and target practice.

But Howard said Burns asked him if he wanted to make some money, and they agreed to rob Christensen and split the profits, records state.

They both claimed the other began shooting Christensen once he arrived, records state.

After Christensen was shot, he fell down in a small wash area and Burns kicked him in the head, records state.

The two left the scene in Christensen’s

vehicle, picked up a friend in Buckeye, and returned to the scene, where they found Christensen still breathing, records state.

They took the car again and drove to Avondale where Zakary Howard they stopped at a McDonald’s and then went to Phoenix so Burns could see his girlfriend, records state.

When Howard and Burns returned to Buckeye, they left the vehicle near Dean and Yuma roads and walked back to the scene, where Christensen was dead, records state.

Burns’ story changed several times, but his 12-year-old brother told police Burns was the shooter and that he had evidence to prove it, records state.

Court records show Burns asked his brother to dispose of his blood-stained shoes and threatened him not to say anything.

The shoes Burns’ brother described were later recovered in a trash can at Burns’ residence after a search warrant was issued, records state.

Man, 28, shot in Buckeye View report

A 28-year-old man suffered non-lifethreatening injuries after he was shot April 23 near Miller Road and Roosevelt Street in Buckeye, police said.

The man, whose name is not being released, was transported to a local hospital, said Sgt. Jason Weeks, a spokesman with the Buckeye Police Department.

Police responded to the area at about 1:45 a.m. after receiving multiple calls about someone being shot, Weeks said.

Arriving officers determined the shooter had fled the scene and began rendering first aid to the victim, he said.

Police don’t have anyone in custody, but numerous leads are being investigated, Weeks said.

W.V. man arrested after allegedly texting nude photos to teen girl

by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

A West Valley man was arrested April 21 after allegedly texting nude photos to a 16-year-old girl, officials said.

Abraham Pimentel, 34, who lives on county land southeast of Litchfield and Glendale roads, faces six counts of transmitting obscene material to a minor, court records state.

Deputies with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call at about 2:50 p.m. April 21 in reference to a girl receiving pictures through text of a man’s genitals, records state.

The victim, who is known to Pimentel, reported he had hugged and kissed her earlier in the week, records state.

Shortly after the incident, she began receiving messages from Pimentel, who allegedly sent six nude photos, records state.

During questioning by deputies, Pimentel allegedly admitted to sending the photos, but claimed that the victim requested them, records state.

Abraham He later stated he sent the photos with the expectation of receiving pictures of the girl in return, records state.

Tangling with Zentangle West Valley libraries hosting classes on relaxing art form

by Jack Hines

Derby party to benefit homeless youths

special to the view

by Glenn Gullickson

If you’re a fan of our 9 Days a Week calendar, you might have seen a listing or two for something called “Zentangle art.” If you’re like us, you had absolutely no idea what a “Zentangle” was. Well, hopefully, we can clear that up today, and maybe open a whole new form of art to some people.

Zentangle, as described by Megan Jacobson of the Litchfield Park Branch Library, is like an adult coloring book, focusing on drawing patterns in predetermined spaces. It doesn’t require any skill or special equipment to get into, and isn’t harsh if one makes a mistake.

“If you mess up, it’s not a big deal,” Jacobson said, adding that Zentangle is useful for relaxing, meditation and reducing anxiety, and doesn’t require much to get started with. According to zentangle.com, the art increases focus, creativity and promotes personal satisfaction.

Zentangle art starts with a template, which come in many different forms.

Some are the outline of shapes and animals, while others are a series of lines, dots, shapes or some combination.

The basic idea behind Zentangle is to not spend time and effort on the shape but rather create within the provided shape.

Jacobson offered several different reasons for creating Zentangle art.

Besides the meditative effects, it can be used as a personal gift for someone, or just as a fun and wholesome way to spend one’s time.

Becoming adept at Zentangle is not very difficult, Jacobson said, adding that she started last summer and has only been doing it for about eight months, but she already has a multitude of complex pieces.

While it can be difficult at first, it shortly becomes second nature, she said.

AGNES MALONEY of Avondale creates a Zentangle masterpiece Feb. 27 during a class at the Litchfield Park Branch Library. Upcoming classes are offered at the Litchfield Park and White Tank branch libraries.

Zentangle.com has a few different tips for beginners: don’t have a preconceived plan for the final result, instead work as you go; simple, repetitive steps for making designs is the core of the art form and should not be stressed over; the core to Zentangle is the creation of the piece, rather than the finished product; and the focus should be on mellowing out and reducing stress and anxiety through creation of the art itself.

Tanglepatterns.com calls Zentangle a type of “artistic meditation.” Zentangle is designed to be a free-form type of art, and isn’t bound by any schedule. One can have a set time to work on it every day or just start a piece when one has some free time or is feeling especially stressed.

As Zentangle is easily accessible to all ages and skill ranges, it is easy to get started. The Litchfield Park Branch Library has Zentangle books that can be checked out, and often offers free classes on the subject. To find a class, check the library’s calendar of events at mcldaz.org

or keep track of the West Valley View’s 9 Days a Week calendar.

Zentangle can be done with minimal materials. Basic patterns and shapes can be printed out, and all one needs is a pen.

Jacobson said “some people use a ruler, some don’t,” and that she prefers a pen to a pencil.

To get your hands on a Zentangle book, visit the Litchfield Park Branch Library at 101 W. Wigwam Blvd., Litchfield Park, or pop into one of its classes. The next class will offer a Star Wars themed Zentangle for youths from 12 to 17 years old from 3:45 to 5 p.m. May 5.

The White Tank Branch Library will hold a class for adults followed by one for children April 30. The adult class will be from 10:30 a.m. to noon and the children’s class will be from 1:30 to 3 p.m. at 20304 W. White Tank Mountain Road, Waddell.

Registration is required, visit www.mcldaz.org.

All the traditions of the Kentucky Derby will come to the West Valley for an event that will benefit an agency that helps homeless youths.

Racing for Hope, a benefit for Homeless Youth Connection, will be from 1 to 4 p.m. May 7 at the Wigwam, 300 Wigwam Blvd., Litchfield Park. The deadline is Friday to reserve tickets, which are $100.

“We like the fact that it’s a little different than a typical black tie event,” said Aimee Yamamori, Homeless Youth Connection’s community engagement director. “It’s less stuffy and more fun.”

While up to 380 guests will be assigned to tables, Yamamori said mingling will be encouraged.

The 142nd Kentucky Derby, a horse race described as “the greatest two minutes in sports,” will be screened on monitors set up in tents on the lawn of the Wigwam, Yamamori said.

“People are really engaged in the derby.

They love watching the races,” she said.

There will be wagering using “Derby Dollars,” with the payout raffle tickets used to enter drawings that will include travel packages for a cruise and trips to Disneyland and Las Vegas.

Mystery boxes will be offered for sale for $25, $50 or $100, with prizes including golf and spa packages, dinners and electronics.

Those attending are encouraged to dress up as they do at the derby, which is famous for spectators sporting hats.

Prizes will be awarded for the best hat and the best dressed woman, man and couple, Yamamori said.

Mint juleps, the Derby’s signature drink, will be among the beverages available, she said.

Buffet stations will feature southern and southwestern cuisine.

It’s the second year the nonprofit organization has done a derby-themed benefit to raise funds for its mission of supporting homeless youths.

The organization that was established in 2009 to help West Valley youths has recently expanded to offer services in the East Valley, Phoenix and Deer Valley, Yamamori said.

For tickets or to volunteer for the event, call 623-374-3747.

Entertainment, food and wrestling will be the main events when Avondale presents a cultural street festival celebrating Cinco de Mayo.

Fiesta Avondale will be from 5 to 8 p.m.

Saturday on Western Avenue in Historic Avondale.

“It’s focused around good food and entertainment,” said Christina Underhill, who is helping to organize the event as assistant director of parks, recreation and libraries in Avondale.

New this year, the event will feature a lucha libre wrestling ring, showcasing four matches with 20 wrestlers from the region.

Lucha libre wrestling was developed in Mexico, where it’s known for tag-team wrestlers in colorful masks doing highflying maneuvers.

“I think that’s going to be a huge draw,” Underhill said.

Fiesta Avondale will be celebrated the Saturday before Cinco de Mayo, which observes the Mexican army’s victory over the French in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.

The city of Avondale sponsored the local celebration for years before events were canceled in 2009 because of budget constraints resulting from the economic downturn, Underhill said.

This is the third year the event has been held since it was re-established, she said.

After being held elsewhere the past two years, the event is being moved to Western Avenue.

“We thought it was a good fit for this event,” she said.

Underhill said about 1,000 people are expected to attend.

Parking will be available along the streets or in nearby parking lots.

“It’s focused around good food and entertainment,” said Christina Underhill, who is helping to organize the event as assistant director of parks, recreation and libraries in Avondale.

New this year, the event will feature a lucha libre wrestling ring, showcasing four matches with 20 wrestlers from the region.

Lucha libre wrestling was developed in Mexico, where it’s known for tag-team wrestlers in colorful masks doing highflying maneuvers.

“I think that’s going to be a huge draw,” Underhill said.

While the wrestling ring will be set Wild Willie’s Cantina will be set up near up on the west end of Western Avenue, the stage. a stage on the east end will feature Mexican food will be provided by entertainment. restaurants along Headliner Western Avenue, Carmela Y Mas is a Underhill said.

Fiesta Avondale will be celebrated the Saturday before Cinco de Mayo, which observes the Mexican army’s victory over the French in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.

The city of Avondale sponsored the local celebration for years before events were canceled in 2009 because of budget constraints resulting from the economic downturn, Underhill said.

This is the third year the event has been held since it was re-established, she said.

After being held elsewhere the past two years, the event is being moved to Western Avenue.

“We thought it was a good fit for this event,” she said.

Underhill said about 1,000 people are expected to attend.

Parking will be available along the streets or in nearby parking lots.

Business Briefcase

by Shane McOwen

24-hour care, to a partial hospitalization option that’s five to six hours a day, five days a week, to outpatient services up to three days a week.

According to the company’s website, Copper Springs is always on the lookout for physicians to join the team.

For information, call 480-565-3035 or email copperspringsinfo@spsh.com.

Heading west to Goodyear, but staying in the healthcare field, the facility going in at the southeast corner of Van Buren Street and Estrella Parkway will be a freestanding Adeptus Health Emergency Room, licensed under Dignity Health Arizona General Hospital.

Way back in the Sept. 22, 2015, issue of the Briefcase, a former Briefcase columnist (happy graduation, Rachel!) reported it was going to be a First Choice Emergency Room. Adeptus Health is the parent company of First Choice Emergency, but as the opening got closer, the details changed on exactly what the facility was going to be.

The emergency room is expected to open within the coming weeks.

For information, visit www.dignityhealth.org.

Welcome to the Business Briefcase, coming live from the mobile headquarters.

It’s a long story, but I’d appreciate some sort of teleportation technology right now. Get on that, scientists.

The good news is whether mobile or not, Briefcase HQ is operating at full capacity!

Here’s this week’s business news.

Copper Springs Hospital will open May 10 in Avondale at 10550 W. McDowell Road.

The 72-bed behavioral hospital Shane McOwen will offer inpatient and outpatient mental health and addiction treatment.

The hospital will have various levels of treatment, from

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOUR TREATMENT IS NOT WORKING? Neck and Shoulder Pain, Pinched Nerves, Tennis Elbow and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Syndrom

Ruben & Mary’s Treasures, first reported in the April 13 Briefcase, is ready to open for business. The Goodyear antique shop, 13370 W. Van Buren St., Suite 104, will officially open its doors at 9:30 a.m. Thursday.

Co-owner Ruben Salcedo said the shop doesn’t have official closing hours, but if you see him working away in there, head on in.

Casa de Plata restaurant will be going in at Avondale Boulevard and Van Buren Street, at 210 N. Avondale Blvd., Suites 104 and 105, in Avondale.

The restaurant’s signage says it serves Mexican, seafood, sushi and pasta, basically a little bit for everyone.

Leslie’s Swimming Pool Supplies is now open at Mountain Ranch Marketplace in Estrella, 17650 W. Elliot Road, Suite A140, in Goodyear.

The pool supply company has a ton of locations across the Valley, including five in our own backyard, selling chemicals, equipment, accessories, toys and parts for pools and hot tubs.

That’s it for the final Briefcase of April. Now begins the quest to see how many May flowers we’ll get from our one April shower. My guess is the stores will still be stocked with them. It’s not agriculture, it’s magic.

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

Have a good week, everyone.

Welcome to the Business Briefcase, coming live from the mobile headquarters.

It’s a long story, but I’d appreciate some sort of teleportation technology right now. Get on that, scientists.

The good news is whether mobile or not, Briefcase HQ is operating at full capacity!

Here’s this week’s business news.

Copper Springs Hospital will open May 10 in Avondale at 10550 W. McDowell Road.

The 72-bed behavioral hospital Shane McOwen will offer inpatient and outpatient mental health and addiction treatment.

The hospital will have various levels of treatment, from

24-hour care, to a partial hospitalization option that’s five to six hours a day, five days a week, to outpatient services up to three days a week.

According to the company’s website, Copper Springs is always on the lookout for physicians to join the team.

For information, call 480-565-3035 or email copperspringsinfo@spsh.com.

Heading west to Goodyear, but staying in the healthcare field, the facility going in at the southeast corner of Van Buren Street and Estrella Parkway will be a freestanding Adeptus Health Emergency Room, licensed under Dignity Health Arizona General Hospital.

Way back in the Sept. 22, 2015, issue of the Briefcase, a former Briefcase columnist (happy graduation, Rachel!) reported it was going to be a First Choice Emergency Room. Adeptus Health is the parent company of First Choice Emergency, but as the opening got closer, the details changed on exactly what the facility was going to be.

The emergency room is expected to open within the coming weeks.

Ruben & Mary’s Treasures, first reported in the April 13 Briefcase, is ready to open for business. The Goodyear antique shop, 13370 W. Van Buren St., Suite 104, will officially open its doors at 9:30 a.m. Thursday.

Co-owner Ruben Salcedo said the shop doesn’t have official closing hours, but if you see him working away in there, head on in.

Casa de Plata restaurant will be going in at Avondale Boulevard and Van Buren Street, at 210 N. Avondale Blvd., Suites 104 and 105, in Avondale.

The restaurant’s signage says it serves Mexican, seafood, sushi and pasta, basically a little bit for everyone.

Leslie’s Swimming Pool Supplies is now open at Mountain Ranch Marketplace in Estrella, 17650 W. Elliot Road, Suite A140, in Goodyear.

The pool supply company has a ton of locations across the Valley, including five in our own backyard, selling chemicals, equipment, accessories, toys and parts for pools and hot tubs.

That’s it for the final Briefcase of April. Now begins the quest to see how many May flowers we’ll get from our one April shower. My guess is the stores will still be stocked with them. It’s not agriculture, it’s magic.

Inside Sports: Desert Edge loses in extra innings; Estrella softball on a roll; Westview track sending multiple athletes to state

16 West Valley View, Avondale, Arizona, Wednesday, April 27, 2016

D.E. struggles defensively in extra-inning loss Errors pile up on both sides in back-and-forth battle

by Casey Pritchard sports editor

Desert Edge lost a tough one April 22. Tough in the sense of how badly coach Sean McCorry wanted a victory for his seniors. The game, an 8-7 nine-inning loss to Surprise Shadow Ridge, was played at Goodyear Ballpark.

“I just wanted the seniors to win because they’re great guys, they’re good kids, BASEBALL great young men, and to lose that game is tough,” McCorry said. “We had plenty of opportunities, we just didn’t make plays.”

Desert Edge isn’t going to make the postseason, so the loss wasn’t difficult to swallow from that standpoint.

However, the Scorpions had some golden chances and just couldn’t seal the deal. In the top of the eighth, Desert Edge had runners on first and second with no outs, but a bunt resulted in a force out at third and the Scorpions were never able to push across a run.

“They made a nice play on that bunt,” McCorry said.

“Our kid got it down and their shortstop is on the run and makes the play [at third]. That was probably the difference, because we’re going to win the game if we score right there.”

Instead, the game went to the ninth inning, where Shadow Ridge got a walk and two singles to plate a run.

Desert Edge trailed most of the game, falling behind 2-0 in the bottom of the first. It was 4-1 in the fifth when the Scorpions put together a two-out rally, scoring four times to take a 5-4 lead. Jake Fear and Eduardo Jimenez had back-to-back two-run hits, as Fear singled hard to right and Jimenez followed with a double to left, putting Desert Edge on top.

“The guys have battled all year,” McCorry said. “They don’t quit, they work hard, we just have to get better going into next year. We have to physically get better in the weight room, we have to get stronger, because most of the teams we play, we’re a bit overmatched physically.

I feel like we can play with anybody, but we have to be so great defensively, and that’s where we struggle.”

Desert Edge would take a 7-5 lead in the top of the sixth thanks to a bases-loaded single and Shadow Ridge error. With one out and runners on second and third, the Stallions intentionally walked Jordan Keanini to load the bases. Nick Kovar, who had fouled out with runners on base in his previous at bat, smacked a single to center, plating the go-ahead run and making it 6-5 Scorpions.

“When they walked Keanini to get to Kovar, I was like, I can’t believe they just did that, because that kid is aggressive and he wants to beat this team,” McCorry said.

“Line drive, base hit, that was great.”

Jordan Brea followed with a ground ball to second base that likely would have been a double play, but it was booted, allowing another Scorpion run to score.

Giving up the lead Desert Edge’s 7-5 lead quickly evaporated in the bottom of the sixth. Reliever Viktor Montes hit the first two batters of the inning, putting the Scorpions in an immediate predicament.

NICK KOVAR of Desert Edge reaches back to throw a pitch April 22 at Goodyear Ballpark. Kovar had a crucial RBI single to give the Scorpions a late lead, but they fell to Shadow Ridge 8-7 in nine innings.

Minimally invasive surgery removes back pain.

“I spent most of last summer using a walker as a result of severe stenosis. I had my surgery at 1 PM, one small incision, and on the way home at 3 PM. I needed nothing for pain from that point forward. Both my wife and I cannot say enough about Dr. Lieberman’s skill and followup. I’m so happy to be playing tennis again. Thanks Phoenix Spine!”

Estrella Foothills riding hot streak into state playoffs

(From Page 17) “We hit from top to bottom [against Copper Canyon],” Isaacs said. “The two subs both got in and both got hits. I can’t be more proud of my girls when they hit from literally the first batter to the No. 9 hitter. We laid down a bunt today that was beautiful. We had scoring opportunities, finally, so it was good.”

Estrella then crushed Coolidge, 13-3, April 23 in an early start.

Isaacs said if the team can remain in the mindset of bringing its A-game out every time, it will see some success in the postseason.

“Regardless if they’re a top team or ranked in the 20s, 30s, 40s, we’ve got to

get the ball out. Stuff like that, the little tiny things that make a huge difference.”

The loss dropped Desert Edge’s overall record to 9-15. The Scorpions are 6-11 and ranked 40th in the Division II power points.

Only the top 24 make the postseason.

“I’m proud of the seniors,” McCorry said. “It’s been a really tough year because defensively, we’re not a good baseball team. We make too many mistakes. It’s been like that all year.”

Despite the loss to Shadow Ridge, getting to play at Goodyear Ballpark was a good experience for McCorry and his team, he said.

“I love it, the kids love playing here,” McCorry said. “We have senior night Tuesday. We have nine seniors, and nine seniors are going to play. They’re going to go out the right way.”

Desert Edge’s final game was Tuesday against Glendale Copper Canyon. The result was unavailable at press time.

(From Page 16) “He’s been inconsistent in the sense that he has a lot of walks, but I was shocked by the hit by pitches because he usually doesn’t hit guys,” McCorry said. “You have to throw a fastball and make the guy earn it. They hit the first guy with an off speed pitch, and they had two strikes on him.”

Shadow Ridge went on to score twice, including on a suicide squeeze, to tie the game.

“We had a pitchout on the squeeze they ran and threw it right down the middle and they executed it down,” McCorry said. “We would have broke their back because we would have pitched it outside, and just didn’t

Millennium enduring tough season

they’re playing, they’re able to make that adjustment instead of being stuck in their strategy. They change strategy really well.”

A change in strategy is what got them over the top against Pusch Ridge, Larm said. He credited his son, assistant coach Luke Larm, with getting the girls over the hump.

“They got back on track the third set,” Allen Larm said. “If we kept playing it the way we had, we probably would have lost.”

Ahlstrom and Napolitano will play Tucson Ironwood Ridge’s Patricia Bernabe and Olivia Manheimer at 3:30 p.m. Friday in the quarterfinals. If they were to win, the semifinals and finals are Saturday.

“I think it’s going to be a pretty good match,” Allen Larm said of the quarterfinals. “I think whoever is able to execute better will pull that out. I think it could go either way, from what we see.”

Buckeye’s singles player in individual state, Mekayla Fuller, got to the third round before losing to the No. 6 seed from Nogales, Emma Oropeza, 6-1, 6-3.

“We’ve never had a girl win a round in singles ever because we always put our top team in doubles, and we’ve always gotten a pretty tough draw in singles,” Allen Larm said. “[Oropeza] was a big hitter. I don’t think [Fuller] was used to playing somebody that hit that big. Later on she made adjustments, but I think it was just too late.”

In addition to the individual state tournament success, Buckeye will also be looking for success in team state, which starts today. The Lady Hawks are the No. 4 seed and will host Prescott at 3 p.m.

“We’re looking forward to playing Prescott,” Larm said. “They’ve been a really good team for a long time. I already requested to play them next year because I think their program matches up a lot like ours. It ended up happening quicker than I requested. I think it’s going to be a really good match.”

Agua Fria singles player In Division II girls singles, Agua Fria’s Victoria Cordova advanced to the quarterfinals, beating the No. 8 seed from Tucson Ironwood Ridge, Avaani Bhalla, in the third round.

“She’s doing very well,” Agua Fria coach Sam Eid said. “She’s elevating her game every game, every set, every match.”

Cordova is the only unseeded player to get to the quarterfinals.

“Victoria Cordova is a testament to anything can happen,” Eid said. “That’s not taking anything away from her, you don’t just win three games in state without doing something right, and she’s doing a lot of things right.”

Cordova was challenged in the second round, needing three sets to beat Tempe McClintock’s Taylor Ryan.

“She had to grind it out,” Eid said.

“She wasn’t going down without a fight, that’s just her personality. I think it’s just a testament of willpower. She knows what she needs to do, she’s very analytical of herself. It was just a test of will. She has a pretty strong mind.”

Cordova will play top-seeded Alexa

Tennis

Cooke of Scottsdale Notre Dame Prep at 3:30 p.m. Friday in the quarterfinals.

“To be the best you’ve got to beat the best,” Eid said. “I think somebody’s going to have to beat this girl, and you have to earn it by taking it. In the playoffs, anything can happen. You never know.”

Verrado boys doubles On the boys’ side, Verrado’s doubles team of Max Woodhead and Kyle Bloomstadt advanced to the quarterfinals, winning every round in straight sets. After the first round, Woodhead and Bloomstadt lost just six games in four sets. They’re the No. 8 seed.

“Kyle and Max struggled in the first round, but they won, and then the next two they played phenomenal; they were on a roll,” Verrado coach Tom Ward said.

“I wished they would have played again.

Now, they’ve got five days before they play again.”

Woodhead and Bloomstadt will face top-seeded Derek James and Scott Rowe of Phoenix Thunderbird in the quarterfinals, which is set for 3:30 p.m.

Friday. “[In Rounds 2 and 3] they played better than they ever have, so they’ve got a shot,” Ward said. “They’ve been playing well all year. They had one challenge all year, and that was Phoenix Country Day, when they won 9-7. That team is in the final eight, also.”

Should Woodhead and Bloomstadt win, they could potentially face Phoenix County Day’s team in the semifinals.

“They’ve had a great year, and both of them are underclassmen,” Ward said.

Verrado also made the team state tournament in Division II. The Vipers are the No. 3 seed and played Flagstaff Tuesday. The result was unavailable at press time.

“I wish it was going to be 100 degrees, but it’s going to be cooler,” Ward said Monday. “I was hoping it would be really hot for Flagstaff coming down here. When you get into team state, you never know what teams are going to have. They could be the 16 seed and be as good as anybody, or they could be the eight seed and not be any good. There are no bad teams. You just play your best and see what happens.

If we can win the first round, it would be the first time Verrado has ever advanced in team state.”

Millennium boys doubles In Division I boys tennis, Millennium’s boys doubles duo of Maximo Lawlor and Austin Todd, the No. 6 seed, has advanced to the state semifinals. They beat the No. 3 seed, Chase Victor and Max Geiger of Phoenix Desert Mountain, 2-6, 6-2, 6-1, in the quarterfinals.

Lawlor and Todd will face Stefan Keaster and Tripp Dillon of Scottsdale Chaparral, the No. 2 seed, at 11:30 a.m.

Saturday in the semifinals.

Another notable player One other local player made the third round, Estrella Foothills’ Jessica Pletl. A foreign exchange student from Germany, Pletl lost to Phoenix North Canyon’s Sarah Adewumi 7-6, 6-3. Pletl said she had a chance to win the first-set tiebreak.

“I almost won the first set, I was so close,” said Pletl, who was battling illness.

“It was close. She was really good though.

She had a good serve and she got every ball. She had a good forehand, too.”

Pletl won convincingly in the

“Coach told me the first two games were easy, but I didn’t think they were that easy,” Pletl said.

Pletl said playing in the United States has helped her improve a lot, especially because she plays so much more.

“I didn’t really learn something new, but I improved overall, my technique,” Pletl said.

“It’s been a beneficial year and that’s why I want to keep playing, go to college here.”

Image problem

District Champs

by Shane McOwen sports writer

The Phoenix Suns have an image problem.

It’s not that they had a terrible season on the court, although they did. Terrible might even be too kind a word for the second-worst record in franchise history.

It’s not that personnel moves haven’t backfired, although they have. Seventeen former players were on playoff rosters in 2016, six from last year’s team alone. It’s that the Suns just don’t know how to get out of their own way.

The first step of the offseason was removing the interim tag from Earl Watson, signing him to a three-year deal as head coach.

Watson did admirably in his 33 games as Suns boss. He took over a broken team and got it to play hard, which isn’t easy in a league where the players rule and coaches can get tuned out at the drop of a hat.

The Suns’ faux pas was not taking a look at anyone else. That’s right, the Suns reportedly selected Watson as head coach out of a candidate pool of only one.

Watson may end up being a great coach in the NBA, but this was his first year as an assistant. That kind of resume rarely gets considered for a head coaching spot, let alone an on-the-spot hire with no regard for anyone else.

The Suns may have known they had their man weeks ago, but sometimes going through the entire process is a necessity, even if it’s just for show. The fans’ distrust of the Suns brass is at an all-time high, and deservedly so after the longest playoff drought in team history. It’s not a bad idea to throw them a bone here and there, and check out all the options.

The Suns certainly didn’t help their image any by winning three of the last four games of the season, effectively moving them from the third to fourth slot in the draft lottery.

The draft is the first line of defense for a losing team, bringing hope in the form of a talented, young player joining the roster next season. The Suns’ end-of-the-season surge moved them from having a 15.6 percent chance of getting the top slot to 11.9 percent, and 46.9 percent chance of landing in the top three to 37.8 percent.

The team decided to turn it on and win at the most inopportune time, possibly costing it a chance at a franchise-altering player in the process. We’ll always have those last few wins, though!

Unfortunately, image repair may still be a long way off.

The Suns have been rumored to be in the market for a new arena. They haven’t

officially said much on the subject, but have kicked the tires around. Greg Stanton, mayor of Phoenix, has come out in support of a new downtown facility to house both the Suns and the Arizona Coyotes.

The Diamondbacks are currently in a battle with Maricopa County on who should foot the bill for Chase Field renovations and repairs. The early returns in the court of public perception were not pretty for the Diamondbacks.

Teams have gotten into the habit of demanding funding relief Shane McOwen for new stadiums through taxes, and using the threat of moving to greener pastures as leverage. It’s worked so far, but these leagues are raking in money at unprecedented levels. It’s getting harder and harder to justify billionaire owners asking the public to pick up a sizable chunk of the bill.

Robert Sarver, the Suns’ owner, has not made too many friends in the ranks of fans. He’s been criticized as being too meddlesome, not trusting the basketball staff he’s hired by letting them do their jobs. He’s also been characterized as a cheap owner. He’s earned that reputation by trading away players and draft picks during the Steve Nash era, putting the bottom line as the top priority.

It’s his right as owner to do as he pleases, but he also has to live with the feedback from thousands of die-hard fans who feel ripped off.

He’s going to be in for one heck of a fight when the team does go public with its new arena wishes. The Suns’ home, Talking Stick Resort Arena, is only 25 years old, by the way.

The NBA just approved small advertisements on uniforms starting in 2017. It’s a bit unpopular in some circles — a multi-billion dollar league on the rise squeezing out a few extra pennies — but the more people who come out against it, the more I believe the Suns will be one of the first on board.

I just hope the ad is for a good public relations firm. The Suns are going to need all the help they can get.

Emanuel Michael “Mike” Cartsonis Mike Cartsonis, 88, Litchfield Park, Arizona died of natural causes on Tuesday April 12, 2016, surrounded by family at Phoenix St. Joseph’s Hospital.

He had been in good health and had enjoyed dinner with two of his sons and their families just hours before his death.

Mike was born in Detroit, Michigan on July 27, 1927 to immigrant parents from Crete, Greece.

As a teen, Mike was selected to attend Detroit’s prestigious Cass Technical Institute of Design and was a promising classical violinist. He abandoned pursuit of a career as a professional musician to focus on industrial design, inspired by summers spent working at the Chrysler plant not far from home.

At the age of 18 Mike was drafted and served in the U.S. Army’s occupying forces in Japan. There he saw the impressive Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Imperial Hotel, a sight that changed his life. Inspired by Wright’s architecture, he entered Wayne State University to study art, where he also played football. He transferred to the University of Michigan working multiple jobs that helped finance his studies along with the G.I. Bill.

While carrying out his responsibilities as food purchaser at Michigan’s Osterweil Cooperative he met an opinionated and outspoken sociology major from Toms River, New Jersey. He and Sylvia Flax married July 16, 1954.

After receiving his architecture degree at University of Michigan, he earned a graduate degree in city planning from University of Pennsylvania.

Mike’s early professional achievements include his awardwinning design of University of Pennsylvania’s Van Pelt Library while still a graduate student at Penn. He then turned toward urban planning as a key member of the team that conceived and implemented Pittsburgh’s Golden Triangle renaissance.

Soon after, Mike, with his longtime friend and colleague Patrick Cusick, was recruited by Goodyear Corporation to create the groundbreaking planned community of Litchfield Park, Arizona.

Mike Cartsonis was a principal and driving force behind historic Litchfield Park. As an urban planner Mike was a passionate advocate for land use planning, pedestrian-friendly community design, and sustainable development. In 1968 Mike fulfilled his dream of designing and building a home for his own family along the bike paths he created to connect Litchfield’s many local parks.

Friend and neighbor Sara Homan said, “Anyone who bicycles down one of the paths, who swims at the rec center, or has a child who safely goes to see their friends across town has Mike Cartsonis to thank. Everywhere I look in Litchfield Park there’s something to thank Mike for and to remember him by.”

Mike remained Litchfield’s City Planner for much of the next 50 years, taking time off to teach architecture at Arizona State and University of Waterloo in Canada, and to plan the city of Yanbu, Saudi Arabia. He later worked in Urban Planning and Zoning for the City of Scottsdale. During the 70s and 80s Mike founded his own firm and designed a number of commercial, medical, public, and residential projects.

He passionately advocated for responsible community development at city, state, and national level. He challenged builders and developers to consider community needs in their business models and design plans.

In the summer of 2014 Mike resigned from Litchfield Park at the age of 86 to focus on activism and to care for his wife, Sylvia.

Mike Cartsonis is survived by his wife of 61 years, Sylvia, his younger brother, George Cartsonis of Southfield, Michigan, and Mike and Sylvia’s five children: Susan Cartsonis of Los Angeles, Matt Cartsonis, also of Los Angeles, Ellen Cartsonis and her husband, Jean-Philippe (Nicot) of Austin, Texas, Michael Cartsonis and his wife, Morrakot (Sornnarin), of Litchfield Park, Jonathan Cartsonis and his wife Claire (Bowey) of Phoenix, and his seven grandchildren, Jeremy, Amelia, and Mathilda Nicot-Cartsonis, Sophia Bowey Cartsonis, Adena and Theo Cartsonis, and Oliver Bowey Cartsonis.

Mike will be deeply missed for his integrity and commitment to betterment of the community, and as a caring husband, father, grandfather, and friend.

A memorial will be held on April 30, 2016 at the Wigwam Country Club at 1:00 PM. Please RSVP to emcmemorial@ yahoo.com.

A HAY FIRE BURNS April 20 at Chiquita Dairy near MC85 and Perryville Road. The fire, which burned more than 900 bails, or 500 tons, of hay was one of three that started in the West Valley in the last week.

Hay fires burning in West Valley

by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

For the third time in less than a week, West Valley firefighters are on hay watch after a fire broke out Monday afternoon in Buckeye.

The latest fire started at about 12:45 p.m. at Broadway and Oglesby roads in Buckeye, and three stacks of hay were fully engulfed in flames, Buckeye Fire Chief Bob Costello said.

Winds gusting from the west at 35 mph caused smoke to cross State Route 85, limiting visibility for motorists, so the Arizona Department of Public Safety assisted with traffic, Costello said.

No structures were damaged, he said.

Firefighters will continue to monitor the fire in shifts as it burns itself out, Costello said.

Another fire started at about 1:20 p.m. April 20 at Chiquita Dairy near MC85 and Perryville Road, said Capt. Cliff Turner, a spokesman with Buckeye Valley Fire District.

Almost 40 firefighters from Buckeye Valley, Goodyear and Phoenix responded to the fire, which burned more than 900 bails, or 500 tons, of hay, Turner said “There were no indications the fire might be suspicious, and often the cause of these hay fires is spontaneous combustion from high moisture content in the hay,” he said.

Firefighters worked to keep the fire from spreading to rows of nearby silage, and continued to monitor the hay, which smoldered for several days, Turner said.

Crews were also watching a hay fire that broke out just before midnight April 19 at a dairy farm near Broadway and Palo Verde roads.

That fire burned about 1,200 hay bales at Triple G Dairy Farm and likely started by spontaneous combustion, Turner said.

El 12 de abril del 2016, el Consejo Municipal de la Ciudad, por una votación de 7 al favor, 0 contra y 0 ausente o abstuvo, autorizaron la alternativa de limitación de gastos locales que se le presentará a los votantes.

Usted puede presentar un argumento a favor o en contra de la propuesta de extender la alternativa de limitación de gastos locales, siempre y cuando el argumento no excede 300 palabras. Argumentos deben ser presentados ante la Secretaria de la Ciudad no más tarde de las 5:00 p.m. el 1 de junio del 2016 para ser publicado en el folleto de publicidad para la elección del 30 de agosto del 2016.

Si la extensión de la alternativa de limitación de gastos locales es aprobada por los votantes, la Ciudad calculo una estimación que se le permitirá gastar aproximadamente $61.9 millones en el año fiscal del 2017 a 2018, $65.2 millones en el año fiscal

del 2018 a 2019, $68,431,300 en el año fiscal del 2019 a 2020, y $72,236,881 en el año fiscal del 2020 a 2021.
