“This can be my bedroom!”

“I want this one!”

As his four small children zigzagged through the two-story house excitedly picking out their rooms, Sgt. Ramon Acosta wiped tears from his eyes.

The Army veteran can now breathe easier, because his family finally has a permanent place to call home.

Acosta was seriously injured in 2007 and 2008 during two deployments to Afghanistan, and his family has moved 10 times since then.

Their most recent residence was a threebedroom apartment in Marana, where the refrigerator door almost hit the counter, and the family was constantly tripping over their dog.

Last week, Acosta and his wife, Sarah, were given keys to their 2,267-square-foot, four-bedroom home in Buckeye, which is also mortgage free thanks to Wells Fargo and the Military Warriors Support Foundation.

Now, they have room for their children, Adelie, 8, Kameron, 6, Parker, 5, and Liam, 3, to run around and grow.

“I love that it’s really big, because I have a big family,” Acosta said. “I think this house is going to be really good for us.”

The donation is part of a $30 million commitment made by Wells Fargo in 2012 as part of its Military Affairs program, which assists service members, veterans and their families by providing sustainable housing, career transition and customized financial education.

“We understand the importance of community, so it means the world to us,” said Cyndi Roberts, diverse segments manager for Wells Fargo. “It’s the passion and the understanding that people want to have home ownership. This is just one of the most overwhelming feelings that you’ll ever have. This is a family that has been through a lot,

ADELIE ACOSTA, 8, plays hide-and-goseek in her brand new home June 22 in Buckeye. and to give them a home is awesome.”

It’s more than Acosta could have ever dreamed of, he said.

The 30-year-old grew up in a poor family, and they were homeless until he was 12. He joined the Army in 2005 so he would be able to give his family a better future.

Then disaster struck.

Stephen Cleveland, who has been Buckeye’s city manager for seven years and worked with West Valley cities for more than three decades, turned in his resignation Monday.

His last day with the city is Aug. 1.

Cleveland was brought on in July 2009 as interim manager to guide Buckeye through tough times and address financial hardships during the economic downturn.

At the time, the city was dealing with several Stephen high-level staff changes Cleveland caused by retirements and vacancies. It had also hired and replaced five managers in as many years.

Cleveland had retired from Goodyear in 2007 after 24 years with the city, 18 of which he served as city manager.

After that, he was hired as Glendale’s deputy city manager, and also started a private consulting firm.

He was hired as Buckeye’s permanent leader in November 2010.

In a letter addressed to Buckeye Mayor Jackie Meck, Cleveland wrote that he’s provided the city with financial stability and civility, and has worked hard to “regain the public respect and trust” in the past seven years.

“I am happy to hand off this organization — that is financially better off, operates more efficiently and is respected by the community — to the council and the next management team and the great customer service employees,” Cleveland wrote.

In his resignation letter, he pointed to several of his accomplishments, such as the recent announcement of a national glass manufacturer locating in Buckeye, which will create 100 new jobs and is the first industrial project in the city since 1995.

Under Cleveland’s leadership, the city obtained voter approval for a $28.6 million water and sewer bond that resulted in proactive industrial and commercial infrastructure being built.

Buckeye also purchased Global Water System in 2015 and began improving water quality and pressure for 7,000 residents and businesses, he wrote.

Additionally, the city successfully conducted a mid-decade census last fall, and will receive an estimated $5 million more in state-shared revenue per year.

“Every challenge was met with enthusiasm,” Meck said. “Our budget condition is much better. Staff met the demands with far fewer resources. We did a lot with less. We are now a valued member of the regional community.

“We will miss his knowledge and commitment to good government, his promotion of teamwork and strong customer service values and his ability to engage all people to make a difference.”

Meck did not say what steps the City Council will take to replace Cleveland, who had an open contract with a 30-day notice of termination clause for either party.

(From Page 1) During each of his deployments, Acosta was hit by improvised explosive devices, resulting in traumatic brain injury, lacerations to his kidney, liver and bladder, collapsed lungs, wrist injuries, jaw reconstruction, a broken nose and eye socket bones, right hip and leg injuries, herniated discs, deep nerve damage throughout his entire right side, short-term memory loss and post traumatic stress disorder.

He received numerous commendation medals during his service, including two Purple Heart Medals, and was medically discharged from the Army in February 2010.

“I think this is going to be a big game changer,” Acosta said about the house.

“We look at this more as not just for us, but for our kids’ future.”

It also means “everything,” to Sarah, who has been by her husband’s side every step of the way.

“It’s somewhere that we can actually settle and raise our family — what we’ve been wanting to do since we started a family,” she said. “Over the last several years of moving so much, I haven’t felt like we’re home, ever. I already feel like we belong somewhere.”

2 dead after man allegedly kills wife, shoots at police in Buckeye

by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

Two people are dead after a Buckeye man allegedly killed his wife and then shot at police June 25 outside their home at Southern and 238th avenues, officials said.

The man died during the shootout with police, said Officer Dan Hoffmeister, a spokesman with the Buckeye Police Department.

Police have not released the couple’s names, but a fundraising site set up for their young daughters identifies them as Bill and Breanne Ferguson.

Officers responded to the house at about 3:45 p.m. after receiving a call from someone out of state requesting a welfare check, Hoffmeister said.

The caller told police that Bill may have killed his wife and that two children were also in the house, Hoffmeister said.

When officers arrived, Bill allegedly started shooting at them from inside a vehicle, striking several police cars and nearby houses, Hoffmeister said.

Officers returned fire, and the shooting ended moments later, he said. Bill was found dead inside the vehicle, but it’s unclear yet if he was shot by police.

The two children were located inside the house unharmed and were taken to safety, Hoffmeister said.

Breanne was also found dead in the house, he said.

Two officers, who have served with the Buckeye Police Department three years each, were placed on paid administrative leave during the investigation, which is a standard procedure for officer involved shootings, Hoffmeister said.

The investigation is ongoing, he said.

Names of the officers involved will not be released at this time, Hoffmeister said.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety is conducting the investigation for the officer involved shooting, and Buckeye detectives are investigating Breanne’s death.

A GoFundMe account has been set up at gofundme. com/2bd7gjwto to benefit the girls.

Man dies in head-on collision in Buckeye View report

One man died and another could be facing felony charges after a head-on collision at about 2 p.m. June 22 near MC85 and Atlanta Avenue in Buckeye, officials said.

Saul Gonzalez-Servin, 31, of Buckeye was pronounced dead at a local hospital, said Detective Doug Matteson, a spokesman with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office.

Juan Manuel Galaviz, 25, was also transported to a hospital in critical condition, but is recovering, Matteson said.

During their investigation, detectives determined that

Galaviz attempted to pass another vehicle traveling eastbound on MC85 in a no passing zone when he hit Gonzalez-Servin’s car head on in the westbound lane, Matteson said.

Alcohol does not appear to be a factor in the collision, Matteson said.

“We haven’t charged anybody yet, but it appears that it is possible that Juan could be facing felony charges related to the investigation,” he said. “We’re just waiting for information from his vehicle.”

The investigation is ongoing.

Police: Body found near W. Valley racetrack likely that of missing west Phoenix man

by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

A body located June 23 near Phoenix International Raceway is likely that of a west Phoenix man who went missing earlier this week, police said.

Ramon Arvizo, 50, was last seen the morning of June 19 at his house near 85th Avenue and Buckeye Road, police said.

His family said Arvizo was depressed about a recent loss in the family, and was probably using an off-road vehicle in the Salt and Gila river bottoms.

Police, family and friends searched the area all week looking for Arvizo.

At about 11:30 a.m. June 23, a Phoenix Police aircraft located an all-terrain vehicle matching the description of the one Arvizo was likely driving, said Officer James Holmes, a

spokesman with the Phoenix Police Department.

The vehicle was turned on its side in a wash area southeast of PIR, which is at Avondale Boulevard and Indian Springs Road in Avondale. Moments later, the air unit spotted what appeared to be a body about a quarter mile away, Holmes said.

Phoenix Police detectives responded to the area and determined the man was deceased and matched the characteristics and descriptions of Arvizo, Holmes said.

“At this point, it appears Mr. Arvizo may have been involved in a collision of some type; however, cause and manner of death will have to be determined by the Medical Examiner’s Office,” he said.

The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office will assume the investigation of the crash, because the vehicle was found within the agency’s jurisdiction.

Man’s body found June 23 in Avondale View report

Police are investigating after a man’s body was found at about 4:45 p.m. June 23 near Indian School Road and Santa Fe Trail in Avondale, officials said.

The man has been identified as William Gilliland, 44, of Phoenix, said Officer Ray Emmett, a spokesman for

the Avondale Police Department.

Cause of death hasn’t been determined, but there were no signs of injury or foul play, Emmett said.

“He had no ties to Avondale at all, so we’re not even sure how he got there,” he said.

The investigation is ongoing.

Single-car crash on Interstate 10 near Tonopah claims 2 lives

by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

For the second Friday in a row, a fatal accident occurred on Interstate 10 near Tonopah, officials said.

At about 1:25 p.m. June 24, a vehicle with four people on board was traveling eastbound on I-10 near milepost 90 when it drifted into the left shoulder for an unknown reason, said Bart Graves, a spokesman with the Arizona Department of Public Safety.

“The driver over corrected, sending the vehicle into a roll,” Graves said.

Maher Rayyan, 57, who was driving, and passenger Maha Rayyan, 48, both of Scottsdale, were pronounced dead at the scene, said Quentin Mehr, a DPS spokesman.

Two other passengers, Isa Rayyan, 82, and Zarifeh Rayyan, 81, also from Scottsdale, were transported to Abrazo West Campus in Goodyear, Mehr said.

A week earlier, three people died and a fourth was critically injured when a wrong-way driver struck another vehicle June 17 on I-10 at milepost 94, officials said.

Troopers said they suspect impairment was a factor in the head-on collision.

The wrong-way driver, identified as Daniel Porter, 30, of Phoenix died at the scene, as did Danielle Fletcher, 19, of Haleiwa, Hawaii, who was driving the other vehicle, and Sabrina Jensen, 19, of Huntington Beach, Calif., who was in her front passenger seat, Mehr said.

A backseat passenger in their vehicle was also critically injured and transported to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries, DPS officials said.

Troopers have investigated seven fatal collisions statewide in the past week, in which eight people have died, according to a press release issued Monday by DPS. As of Sunday, 44 of the 114 fatal collisions so far this year have been a result of speed, the release states.

“It’s critically important for drivers to obey posted speed limits. In addition, drivers should be well rested before taking to the road,” the release states.

Another main factor in fatal collisions continues to be unrestrained occupants. This year, 42 percent of deadly crashes on Arizona highways have involved people not wearing seat belts, the release states.

“The spike in traffic fatalities over the past week has had very tragic consequences for the loved ones of those who died,” said Lt. Col. Daniel Lugo, assistant director of the Highway Patrol Division.

“It is critical for motorists to drive as safely as possible while adhering to traffic laws and always wearing safety restraints. We want drivers to take responsibility for their passenger’s compliance with seat belt laws.”

Arizona legislator accused of defrauding food stamp program

by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

A state representative whose district covers parts of the West Valley was indicted last month for alleged food stamp fraud, according to the Arizona Department of Economic Security.

State Rep. Ceci Velasquez, D-District 29, faces felony counts of fraudulent schemes and practices, unlawful use of food stamps and theft. She was charged May 23 by the Arizona State Grand Jury, and the indictment was unsealed June 20.

The West Valley portion of her district covers parts of Phoenix and county land from Indian School Road to Northern Avenue and Loop 101 to Dysart Road.

A tip was received by the DES Office of the Inspector General in Ceci Velasquez November 2014, and the agency began investigating with the Criminal Division of the Arizona Attorney General’s Office, Inspector General Juan Arcellana said.

“The Arizona Department of Economic Security is vigilantly committed to protecting the public trust and taxpayer funds, safeguarding precious resources for the poor and disadvantaged, ensuring justice for all and defending the rule of law,” said Timothy Jeffries, director of the Arizona Department of Economic Security.

The initial hearing is set for July 5 in Maricopa County Superior Court.

Rep. Eric Meyer, D-District 28, said he has asked Velasquez to resign, because the legal drama is creating a distraction and taking fellow Democrats off message.

Velasquez took to Twitter June 22 to claim her innocence, stating “I have done nothing wrong! This is a political witch hunt. I’m confident that justice will prevail once all the facts are known.”

Avondale police looking for garage thief

by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

Police are on the lookout for a man seen on surveillance video stealing from garages with open doors in Avondale and Phoenix.

Avondale resident Miles Bouchard caught the man on camera June 13 stealing his daughter’s $200 electric scooter out of their garage near 109th Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road.

“He’s not afraid. He’s not afraid of neighbors seeing, he’s not afraid of anything, just walking up there like he belongs in that house,” Bouchard said.

Bouchard immediately filed a police report and posted pictures to an app called Nextdoor that allows neighbors to communicate with each other.

“When we went out looking for the guy after the last sighting, we counted 25, 26 garage doors wide open,”

Bouchard said. “It’s only a matter of time before someone gets hurt.”

Photos of the man were distributed to the beat officers who patrol the area so they can keep an eye out for him, said Sgt. Brandon Busse, a spokesman with the Avondale Police Department.

“He’s basically just looking for simple crimes of opportunity with open garage doors,” Busse said.

“Hopefully somebody sees something, or we catch him in the act.”

Anyone with information about the man can call the Avondale Police Department at 623-333-7000.

OUR VIEWPOINT

GRANLUND’S OPINION — PoliticalCartoons.com

EDITORIAL

Petty, small man does not deserve anyone’s vote With an angry old Socialist narrowly losing to the crooked coronated one and an unfiltered, loudmouthed businessman who’s never even held public office toppling his double-digit establishment rivals, this is proving to be one of the weirdest elections ever.

Especially considering that angry old Socialist is technically still in the race and although he hasn’t endorsed the crooked coronated one, he’s said he’ll probably vote for her.

Things are just as weird on the Republican side with the unfiltered, loudmouthed businessman securing the requisite delegates to win the nod outright while antiTrump delegates scramble to change the rules at the eleventh hour and unbind the delegates in the hopes of stealing the nomination from him.

And our local elections are just as weird.

Longtime Tolleson Mayor Adolfo Gamez has competition for the first time in years in former Councilwoman Anna Tovar and we thought they were friends.

Buckeye Mayor Jackie Meck has competition in Councilman Brian McAchran. We thought they were friends, too, but considering McAchran’s campaign fliers showed up on car windshields while Meck was delivering the state of the city address, maybe they had a falling out we weren’t privy to. Meck also has competition in newcomer Tom Campanella, but that one’s not such a surprise. He’s been pretty vocal about his feelings when it comes to the city’s leader.

Avondale Mayor Kenn Weise has competition in Vice Mayor Stephanie Karlin and former Councilman Frank Scott. OK, maybe those aren’t completely surprising, either, Weise and Karlin were pretty much on opposite ends of the spectrum when it came to that nasty business of water rate hikes.

And Litchfield Park, our only West Valley city with an unpaid council that usually has the most competition not because anyone thinks the current council isn’t up to snuff but instead because they all have such a desire to serve, has an uncontested race.

But wait, it gets weirder still.

Moving on to our congressional races, one clown is running for two different seats.

Clair Van Steenwyk, who lost the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in 2012 and the Republican nomination for U.S. House of Representatives District 8 in 2014, is now seeking the nod for both!

Apparently state law does not allow someone to run for two different seats, but Van Steenwyk told the Arizona Republic that he believes the law does not apply to federal races and even has a constitutional attorney.

He also told the Republic that any legal challenge to remove him from the ballot would backfire and make his opponents look “petty and small.”

We don’t believe for a second that Sen. John McCain and Rep. Trent Franks are worried in the slightest about looking petty and small. If anyone looks petty and small, it’s Van Steenwyk. Looks to us like he’s still sore about losing in 2012 and 2014 and wants to take another swing at both incumbents. But even worse, it appears that he’s extremely unconfident about winning either office, so he’s hedging his bets.

Either way, he’s a poor choice for either office.

Running on the platform of an ax to grind is not a reason to run. And caring more about the victory than the office he’d be serving in demonstrates a level of foolishness unbecoming of any public servant.

We won’t be endorsing our local city council candidates until after their respective candidate forums, but we can say with confidence right now that Van Steenwyk does not deserve your vote.

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

L

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

State of the nation Editor: The current administration has indicated that the economy is doing well since the president has taken office. Well let’s digest the facts based on number taken from the official debt clock.

Job growth since Jan. 1, 2009 is 6.1 million new jobs. That’s a positive right? That equates to 68,539 jobs per month since the president took office. The devastating number is that those looking for work increase to 94.7 million an increase of 14.9 million people who have been unable to re-enter the workforce.

Today (June 9) it was reported the official unemployment rates is at 4.7 percent, but the people actually our of work is 15.3 million people which equates to an actual un-employment rate of 12.9 percent. Interesting difference.....

Those in poverty increased from 38.4 million in 2008 to 46.8 million today and increase of 21.9 percent.

Food Stamp recipients increased from 30.5 million in 2008 to 43.9 million an increase of 43.9 percent.

Economic growth has

struggled at less than 2 percent per year. You may ask why, possibly the thousands of new and re-written regulations and the eighteen new Affordable Care Act taxes for a start.

And the elephant in the room is that our national debt is 19.2 trillion dollars and increase of 9 trillion dollars since February of 2009. The interest on the debt paid to-date is 2.4 trillion dollars and so far this year is 245 billion.

So is it stay the course and hope for the best or is it time to right the ship and change course.......The American People hold the course of the nation in their hands... God Bless America.

Editorial made sense Editor: Hi Cary. I read and enjoyed your common sense editorial on My view point, Wed June 15th issue.

I thank you dearly for being a clear eyed common sense thinker out there! Keep up the good editorials, I’ve read some of other Eds. I knew you are a sensible person.

I’m sure you know how ever you’ll probably be attacked by some of your readers that are totally void of common sense!

Thanks again!

Faith determines Executive orders destination Editor: The Fool in his heart says: “There is no God.” The Bible and Torah say there is ONE God and His name in Hebrew is YHWH and in English I AM. Jesus said, “I and the Father are One” “He who has seen me has seen the Father.”

The Muslim Koran says Allah “God has no son” I say, “Your faith in I AM (YHWH) determines your final destination when you die physically. It’s your choice.”

Editor: Obama has a great opportunity to require the signatures of both the president of the Senate and the speaker of the House to implement the practise of US presidents issuing Executive Orders and Proclamations, which would not only add to his list of achievements, but also make everyone happy and improve the worldwide opinion of the US. Neither is provided for directly by the Constitution, however they are implied,

 OPINIONS

(From Page 6) so congressional action is necessary, and amendments to the constitution require 2/3 vote by both houses of congress.

Note that although this does not completely disrupt the balance of power it should please Congress.

Executive Orders 6102 resulted in Japanese Americans living on the West Coast, (but not German Americans living on the East coast) being interred. Ike desegregated public schools by executive order. Some have been good, some bad. Many have been overturned by the Supreme Court when found to conflict with the constitution or for some cther legal reason Obama repealed one by executive order.Bush proclaimed the area affected by Hurricane Katrina a Disaster Area. They may be , but this takes time.

Here’s the rub: Obama would like to add to his legacy if this amendment were to occur during his presidency, but this would likely help Trump, whom both Democrats and Republicans, alike, fear might implement something rash via Executive Order. The only way tat I can think of to get Congress to take any such action is for Obama, himself, to propose it.

Problems need solutions Editor: I read your column all the time….my input after the Orlando massacre and other “stuff” is …

Again, presidentially, we are voting for the lesser of two evils, 1. Mass killings in Orlando, we fly flags at half-mast and do absolutely nothing to correct/ eliminate the problem. We’re just waiting until the next catastrophe!

2. Mr. Trump might be radical, not like the last past presidents didn’t get us involved with wars such as, Vietnam, Iraq,

Stricter gun laws needed Editor: Cary Hines writes: “Stricter gun control is not the answer.”

Stricter gun control may not be the only answer, but carefully crafted restrictions can help keep assault weapons out of the hands of terrorists and crazies.

Age restrictions on alcoholic beverages do not prevent all under-age drinking. Does this mean there should be no age restrictions?

Controls on opioid use will not stop all overdoses. Does this mean there should be no controls on opioids?

Restricting firearm access using the “no fly” list and prohibiting civilian ownership of military-style assault weapons and large clips are two measures that will help save lives.

Should everyone be armed?

Do we really want the mayhem that ensues if law enforcement cannot tell who is the perp and who is the gun-toting citizen who pulls her weapon to save the day and ends up getting even more innocents killed?

But what of the 2nd Amendment “slippery slope” argument? The answer is that we already have controls. The challenge is to determine what

additional restrictions are reasonable. I am not allowed to park an M1 Abrams tank in my driveway with a 152mm cannon pointed at my neighbor’s bedroom. Similarly, why should my neighbor have access to a military-style assault weapon with a 30-round clip?

Ms. Hines states that the crazies will find alternatives.

McVeigh used fertilizer. The twin towers terrorists used airplanes. Yes, let’s keep an eye on any non-farmers who are purchasing large quantities of fertilizer. Yes, let’s continue to improve the TSA’s screening of passengers. And, yes, let’s put some common-sense controls on sales of assault weapons and 30-round clips.

To fail to do so is to fail to take steps that will save at least some innocent lives.

Christopher Brelje Litchfield Park

View should fact check letters Editor: One of the greatest freedoms in America is that of the press. But as Eleanor Roosevelt said, “With freedom comes responsibility.”

Your Letters to the Editor are continually filled with

rants of extremists that border on libel. Libel is defined as false defamatory statements published in print that are represented as fact rather than opinion. Obviously there is a thin line between fact and opinion. To demonstrate the difference consider these statements. “Donald Trump has a history of rape charges filed against him.” “We believe that President Obama is a secret Muslim seeking to destroy Christianity.” One is a statement of fact, and the other an opinion. The Supreme Court’s definition of libel involving public figures is that a statement must not only be false, but must also defame the person named with the intent to damage his reputation.

There can be no doubt as to the intent of such letter writers.

Therefore the writers could be said to be guilty of libel.

Perhaps your publication should reconsider its policy of publishing unsubstantiated claims of fact. You exercise such a prerogative already.

Would you publish a letter claiming Hillary Clinton was descended from aliens from outer space? Why not exercise the same journalistic responsibility (there’s that word again) when it comes to letters that make outrageous and false claims as being fact rather than opinion.

Afghanistan. And never a” win”, just lost lives and money.

Somebody has got to do something and quit the lip service. I believe Mr. Trump will do something, even if it means more war. Didn’t we lose enough already …

3. I believe the other presidential candidates are giving us the same old song and dance, promises and no action; we have to stand up sometime before it’s too late.

4. Arizona is last in school funding and we found additional funding for our schools and still, having a tough time passing proposition #123 as our politicians are either going on summer break or voting themselves another salary raise… unbelievable!

5. Our taxes and utilities are going up and service is going down…it’s got to stop.

The United States Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service is issuing a warning to take extra food safety precautions when planning one’s July Fourth menu.

FSIS warns of the following: • Without refrigeration or a heat source, perishables should not be left out for more than two hours if the temperature is at or below 90 degrees Fahrenheit and only for one hour if the temperature is at or above 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Due to the expected hot weather on July Fourth, food should be returned to a cooler or refrigerator within an hour.

• Cold food should be kept at or below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Hot food should be kept at or above 140 degrees Fahrenheit. If food needs to be reheated, reheat it to 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

• Pack an appliance thermometer to ensure coolers stay at a correct temperature.

• Pack drinks in a separate cooler from the food cooler so the food cooler doesn’t need to be opened as often.

Keep coolers in the shade and try to cover them with blankets or tarps to keep them cool.

• Use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature of meat, poultry and seafood. Use the FSIS guide, available at www.fsis.usda.gov, for checking meat.

• If meat and poultry are going to be marinated, they should be marinated in a fridge and not on the counter. If marinade is going to be reused, it should be boiled first to destroy harmful bacteria.

• Leftovers should be placed in shallow containers for quick cooling and refrigerated to 40 degrees Fahrenheit within two hours.

For food storage questions, download the FoodKeeper app, available for phones on the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.

For any questions related to food safety, visit AskKaren. gov or call 1-888-MPHOTLINE (1-888-674-6854.)

Welcome to the final June edition of the Business Briefcase.

According to The Old Farmer’s Almanac, we’re about to begin the dog days of summer. That’s right, if you didn’t think the summer had really announced its presence already, there’s more to look forward to starting July 3.

As far as I can tell, that phrase doesn’t have anything to do with actual dogs. The dog days are a 40-day stretch from July 3 to Aug. 11, coinciding with the rising of the star Sirius, known as the dog star, from The Old Farmer’s Almanac.

That same entry describes the star appearing just before the Nile’s flooding season for ancient Egyptians, acting as a “watchdog” for the event.

I know it was a popular contemporary tune by the band Shane McOwen Florence + the Machine a few years ago.

If your pets are acting up, it’s not because of a change in the celestial universe, it’s because it’s pretty hot here.

And dogs are generally crazy to begin with.

First up, it’s fireworks season, everyone. Stands have been popping up all over the place, and if you’re interested in participating in the fun, you might want to get on it ASAP. In accordance with Arizona Law, fireworks can only be purchased and used legally for a certain period of time, and that period ends July 6, and doesn’t open again until Dec. 24.

I wouldn’t recommend messing around with that, either.

Fines can reach as high as $1,000 for setting off fireworks past that date. That’s a little more than I want to spend for a small explosion. Just a tip from your friendly Briefcase host.

Juice It Up has closed in Buckeye, 944 S. Watson Road, Suite 102. The lights have gone out and the business’ phone line has been disconnected.

Thanks to the reader who emailed me the tip and brought it to my attention.

Staying in Buckeye, another reader tip filled me in on some activity at the old Tom Jones Ford location on MC85.

The Buckeye Public Works Department has moved to the former dealership location to consolidate its operation at one place. The new location now houses everything Public Works related except for fleet and airport management.

I once got a traffic ticket near that location years ago.

What a trip down memory lane! Maybe I’ll have to stop in and say hi, just to get a better taste in my mouth.

In Avondale, Evergreen Home Loans has opened a branch at 12725 W. Indian School Road, Suite E-107.

The Seattle-based home lending company opened its first Arizona office in Scottsdale. The Avondale location is the 43rd across the western United States.

For information, call 480-207-3939 or visit www.evergreenhomeloans.com.

Enterprise Rent-A-Car will soon have a shiny new building to call its own in Goodyear.

The rental company began the first phase of construction of a new place at the northeast corner of Van Buren Street and 137th Avenue, just west of Central Avenue.

The current Goodyear office is in the shopping complex at the northwest corner of Van Buren Street and Litchfield Road.

That’s all for this week, folks. I hope everyone enjoys the Fourth of July holiday. Be safe, and make sure you grill those hot dogs to a nearly complete charred crisp.

That’s the only way to eat them.

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

Take care, everyone.

Attorney General warns of ‘Annual Minutes’ mail scam View report

The Arizona Attorney General is warning consumers and small businesses to be cautious of mailings that claim people owe money for an “Annual Minutes” or “Annual Corporate Minutes” requirement for their businesses.

The mailers often include words such

as “notice” or “statement” along with providing an arbitrary deadline to respond.

Often included is a form requesting the names of the officers and directors of the business and contact information along with payment of $125 to $150.

The attorney general offers the following tips to avoid being scammed:

• Carefully read and review any mailers that appear to be government documents.

• Check whether or not annual forms are filed electronically. Usually, those forms are entirely online and the Arizona Corporation Commission does not mail a report reminder.

• Contact the Arizona Corporation

Commission at 602-542-3026, 1-800-3455819 or visit www.azcc.gov.

If you believe you have been the victim of consumer fraud, contact the Attorney General’s Office in Phoenix at 602-5425763. Consumers can also file complaints online at www.azag.gov/complaints/ consumer.

Truth in Taxation Hearing Notice of Tax Increase

Truth in Taxation Hearing Notice of Tax Increase

In compliance with §15-905.01, Arizona Revised Statutes, Buckeye Union High School District is notifying its property taxpayers of Buckeye Union High School District’s intention to raise its primary property taxes over the current level to pay for increased expenditures in those areas where the Governing Board has the authority to increase property taxes for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2016. The Buckeye Union High School District is proposing an increase in its primary property tax levy of $1,100,000.

In compliance with §15-905.01, Arizona Revised Statutes, Litchfield Elementary School District is notifying its property taxpayers of Litchfield Elementary School District’s intention to raise its primary property taxes over the current level to pay for increased expenditures in those areas where the Governing Board has the authority to increase property taxes for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2016. The Litchfield Elementary School District is proposing an increase in its primary property tax levy of $600,000.

The amount proposed above will cause Buckeye Union High School District’s primary property taxes on a $100,000 home to increase from $20.49 to $22.41.

These amounts proposed are above the qualifying tax levies as prescribed by state law, if applicable.

The increase is also exclusive of any changes that may occur from property tax levies for voter approved bonded indebtedness or budget and tax overrides.

Goodyear sisters conquer the bay Amanda, 11, Ashley, 8, complete Alcatraz, Golden Gate swims for F.A.S.T. Foundation

by Shane McOwen sports writer

A few generations ago, the Husmoe sisters’ accomplishments might have made headlines for showing escapees the way off Alcatraz Island. Today, the Goodyear siblings are just raising money for a good cause.

Amanda Husmoe, 11, and her sister Ashley, 8, completed a pair of open-water swims in the San Francisco Bay to benefit F.A.S.T, the Foundation for Aquatic Safety and Training.

The pair swam the 1.4-mile Escape from the Rock April 16, starting just off the shores of Alcatraz Island and finishing at the San Francisco Harbor. The Husmoes put their wetsuits back on the next morning for Crossing the Great Gate, a 1.2-mile swim along the Golden Gate Bridge.

Amanda is a four-time veteran of the Alcatraz swim, and completed both events for the third straight year. It was Ashley’s first time for both swims.

“It wasn’t as easy as the first year, but it wasn’t as hard as the second year,” Amanda said. “The first year was really smooth, and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky, but the second year was really choppy.”

Amanda finished the Alcatraz swim at a personal best 39 minutes.

Ashley, who was the last one to jump off the starting

boat, finished in the middle of the pack with a time of 55 minutes, much to the surprise of her family.

“It was really nerve-racking waiting on shore,” said Melissa Husmoe, the girls’ mother. “Amanda came in first and then waited with me for Ashley. She was one of the last ones off the boat, and came in right in the middle of everybody. We were surprised to see her.”

With open-water swims, times are at the mercy of the weather. The F.A.S.T. event benefited from pristine conditions both days.

“The weather this year was really nice, we got pretty lucky,” said Sean Husmoe, the girls’ father. “The biggest thing to worry about with those swims is the fog in San Francisco, particularly the second day with the Golden Gate. If the fog comes in, they can’t let the kids off the boat.

“By that point, everybody’s all in. Everyone’s traveled there, the permits have been paid for. You’re just out of luck if they have to cancel it.”

Luck was on the girls’ side, though, as they were able to complete both swims. Amanda said it takes some extra mental dexterity to get ready for the second day’s swim.

“You’re kind of sore because your neck gets chaffed,” Amanda said. “Putting your wetsuit back on irritates your neck, but you’re also ready to go. You know what the water feels like, [and] you know it’s shorter than the first day.”

Ashley said she had a lot of confidence heading into the second day.

“I felt proud [after the first swim],” she said. “The Golden Gate was shorter, I knew I could do it.”

Training, fundraising The girls began major training for the event in September 2015. Once a month, the pair would travel the hour-and-a-

half journey to Bartlett Lake, northeast of the Phoenix-Metro area, to partake in swim exercises. This year’s training was a little more difficult than usual, the girls said.

“In the first nine years, they had one swim that was under 50 degrees,” Amanda said. “This year, they had five.”

All but one of the lake swims are done while wearing wetsuits.

“The first one they start in September is warm enough to go without a wetsuit,” Sean said. “By the time the kids got to the bay, they had been in plenty of cold water.”

He said F.A.S.T. is a good group to get behind, both for the water safety awareness the organization strives to provide and the message it sends to children.

“F.A.S.T. is all about escaping your limitations, that’s their tag line,” Sean said. “Both times, our girls did it when they were 8, and there was never an issue of them being too young. You hear plenty of that for kids as you’re doing different things as you’re raising them.

There’s always [things] where you’ve got to be this age to do this, or move up.

“With them, it was never, ‘I don’t know if you can do it.’ It was, ‘We’ll train you and you do it.’”

F.A.S.T. also gets children involved directly with raising drowning and water safety awareness. Amanda was able to recently participate in teaching swim lessons to refugees in the West Valley.

“They have a couple of apartment complexes they identify, and they go there and set these [lessons] up,” Sean said.

The organization also sponsors F.A.S.T. Talkers, where children speak to kindergarteners and first-graders about (See Conquer on Page 14)

Losing formula Warriors piled on after dropping NBA Finals

by Casey Pritchard sports editor

Losing stinks.

No, it’s worse than that. Losing tugs at the innermost part of your being.

Nobody likes to lose. If you do, you’re not a true competitor. But the reality is that losing is a huge part of sports, and more often than not — way more often — you’re not going to be the ultimate winner. Only one team gets the chance to raise the trophy at the end Casey Pritchard of the year.

However, worse than losing is when you get piled on after losing.

This year’s NBA Finals had a surprise twist ending. After an NBA record 73-win season, the Golden State Warriors looked destined to cap it off with a second straight championship until blowing a 3-1 series lead to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

There was talk about how the Warriors would be the greatest team ever had they won the title, but when they failed to do so, people came out in droves to bash them.

Scottie Pippen went on the radio and proclaimed that his 1995-96 Chicago Bulls “live on.” Maybe so, but it clearly is an ego thing for Pippen if he has to go on national radio and proclaim it.

Shaquille O’Neal took a different angle to bash the Warriors. He posted a picture of himself on Twitter with a T-shirt he had printed stating, The Real Unanimous MVP. He was taking a shot at Stephen Curry, who was voted this season as the first unanimous MVP in NBA history. But if you look at the shirt, there’s a typo. It says “unaminous,” not unanimous. Nice job, Shaq. If you’re going to make fun of someone, try not to look like an idiot in the process.

Then there’s Lebron James, who got off the plane back in Cleveland with a wrestling shirt that said, “Ultimate

Warrior” on it. Put nothing past Lebron James to take shots at players and/or teams when given the opportunity. James claimed he would “take the high road” and not comment when Klay Thompson said James’ feelings were hurt after Game 4 of the NBA Finals. He says that, but there are subtle things, such as the shirt, that tell you he doesn’t really take the high road. His road is the one covered in trees so it’s a little bit harder to see what he’s doing.

Now, to be fair, the Warriors deserve some criticism. They talked the talk all year, and up until Game 5 of the NBA Finals had walked the walk.

The Warriors showed a swagger that any team who thinks they’re the best should. They just didn’t come up with the big moment when it counted the most. All season, the Warriors did that, but in Game 7 with the championship — and history — on the line, the Warriors couldn’t come up with the goods.

People like to talk legacies, and this puts a hit on one the Warriors really could have started. James had been criticized for losing too often in the Finals, and while his record in the Finals is still under .500 (3-4), he took a big step forward.

To me, he’ll never be in the category of Michael Jordan (6-0 in the Finals), but you can’t argue James’ willingness to win and what he does to impact a game. I’m not a fan of his personality and arrogance, but I won’t deny his greatness on the court.

The Warriors’ players have taken onus about what happened. Curry admitted he wasn’t as good as he should have been, and understood criticism would be thrown at him.

“I take it on the chin, because I know I didn’t play my best,” Curry said.

Draymond Green took blame as well, saying, “I’m not afraid to say it’s my fault.”

His suspension for Game 5 clearly had an impact in the series, as it allowed momentum to swing in the Cavs’ favor.

The fact remains that the Warriors didn’t claim the ultimate prize, and in a day and age where social media runs rampant, people will take every advantage of that to poke fun at the losers.

However, the great thing about sports — as cliché as it is — there’s always next year. The Cavs righted their wrongs this year, and you know the Warriors will be eager to do the same in 2017.

WHY

Iceland and the lesson of maximizing potential Decade-long soccer investment showing its worth at Euro 2016

by Shane McOwen sports writer

It’s sports scripture that small-market teams left to their own devices have no shot at contending for glory. That thinking has led to revenue sharing, salary caps, amateur drafts — all parameters put in place to produce the greatest amount of parity across the land.

The four major U.S. sports all abide by some type of these rules, but for the most part, European soccer does not. The same teams usually dominate competitions thanks to an economic structure that heavily favors those bringing in the most money. In the English Premier League, for example, only four teams have won 22 of the last 24 titles.

International soccer is cut from a different cloth, but the principle still applies: bigger countries with superior resources fare well. Until Euro 2016, anyway.

Iceland boasts a population of about 330,000 — significantly less than the city of Mesa — but has still managed to qualify for the European championship taking place in France. It’s the first time the Nordic island country has ever earned a spot in the tournament, and it’s more than just happy to be there. Iceland advanced past the group stage, and knocked off England, 2-1, in the Round of 16 Monday.

Iceland has gone unbeaten in its first major tournament (two wins, two draws), and produced a goal in each of the four matches. That’s something traditional European powers England, France, Germany, Italy and Belgium couldn’t do.

Iceland may be gaining fans for the tournament because of its heavy underdog status, but it’s far from an accident it’s where it is. The country’s soccer federation revamped its program in the early 2000s, pouring resources into coaching and infrastructure.

The nation now has one UEFA licensed coach for every 500 residents. Not 500 soccer players, but citizens. In England, that number is closer to one for every 10,000 residents.

When the ratio of qualified coaches to players is so small, it’s easy to see why not many Icelanders slip through the cracks.

The country also added 15 indoor fields and 20 outdoor pitches to go along with more than 100 smaller-sized facilities across the country.

Iceland realized its resource limitations and made a conscious effort to maximize efficiency. It’s neat to see a years-long plan play out to such fruition. Who knows, it may just go on to win the whole thing.

I’ve also learned that the NBA draft school system needs a greater overhaul than our current academic institutions. At least schools give kids a chance to earn a grade.

There’s a draft-grade story across every nook and cranny of the Internet.

Scores of writers (and television “personalities”) are declaring winners and losers from the draft. Overall grades aren’t even enough, each individual trade Shane McOwen is dissected like everyone really has a clue what will happen once the players actually hit the court.

I get it. It’s more fun to discuss hypotheticals, things you can’t actually prove, than it is to discuss things you can quantify with stats. Advanced stats have invaded professional sports, particularly in basketball, and have been a helpful tool is deciphering the mysteries on the court. Player X is a valuable amenity for a team, not because he looks flashy, but because the team scores at its best rate while he’s on the court. Those nuances are tough to argue when you can easily find the data to back it up. The draft is easy because there’s no right or wrong answer for at least three or four years.

The Suns, by the way, were given gangbuster reviews of their draft day, selecting Dragan Bender and Marquese Chriss. Count me in as a member of the “winners” camp. It’s definitely hypocritical, but what a delightful pill to swallow as a fan, grabbing two top-six talents in the same draft.

And you know what? You can’t prove me wrong until 2019, at the earliest.

While La Joya is moving up to the highest conference next season, 6A, the team should still have a competitive advantage once basketball season gets started in late November.

The Lobos are set to return their entire starting lineup from the end of last season, and again have identified talented underclassmen who will help off the bench, coach Roger Lefebvre said.

The Lobos may not have had too many holes to fill, but that doesn’t BOYS mean the team took it BASKETBALL easy during the summer.

La Joya competed in three tournaments in addition to a summer league — finishing 17-5 overall — while putting in countless hours on skill work and weight training.

Extensive work in the offseason is one of the main reasons La Joya has become a force to be reckoned with on the court, increasing its win total from nine in Lefebvre’s first year to 21 last season.

“Our lifting program is very challenging,” Lefebvre said. “Our conditioning [sessions] are like a college program’s. It weeds the people out. Our guys know what to expect, especially the ones who are there during the summer.

The young ones, they get a taste of it so they understand what is expected, not only in the weight room and on the court, but how we act and how we behave as a program, as people.”

The Lobos performed to Lefebvre’s liking during the summer, he said.

“There are certain things we need to get better at,” Lefebvre said. “Starting games, we kind of just slow-play it and not get going, and then finish strong. We’re striving to get them to play a complete game.”

Lefebvre said many of the guys have shown tremendous growth in a short period of time. Tre Mitchell and Quincy Smith, the team’s top scorers from last season, are expected to lead the way again for La Joya. Smith averaged 16.7 points per game, Mitchell 13.5.

Tyrese Stevenson, Ma-Lon Sanders and R.J. Lefebvre have each shown increased playmaking ability during the summer session, and Sanders has developed a more complete game to go along with his tenacious energy so far this summer, Lefebvre said.

“Ma-Lon has shown me amazing strides,” Lefebvre said. “He started toward the end of the year, coming off the bench

QUINCY SMITH, 10, of La Joya goes up for a shot last season between a pair of Agua Fria defenders. Smith, who averaged 16.7 points per game, is one of the five returning starters for the Lobos in 2016-17. to give Byron [Young] a break, and he was just a pogo stick — rebound, rebound, tip, rebound. He’s gone beyond that now.

He still has a nose for the ball, rebounds the snot out of it, but he’s been finishing strong at the basket. I even saw him get a rebound and take it coast-to-coast for a layup a couple of times.

“He’s just so focused. If I would say anyone was the most improved with unlimited potential, it would be him right now.”

Lefebvre also expects sophomore Alfred Jordan to contribute important minutes for the varsity squad this season, he said.

Jordan has been showing strong pure-

point guard skills this summer.

“He’s quick as heck, can get to the rim and shoot the three,” Lefebvre said.

“He’s a point guard first, he wants to get everyone involved first, and makes very (See Hoops on Page 17)

the importance of learning to swim, swimming with proper supervision and having swim buddies, Sean said.

Many of the swimmers raise money before the big event in California to cover the cost of entering the swim.

Anything left over goes directly to the foundation.

F.A.S.T. celebrated its 10th year holding the event, but future swims are up in the air.

“They don’t know if they’ll do any more swims, because the costs keep going up each year,” Sean said.

“It’s a fun event to do, but we’re trying to raise money for the foundation. We have to make sure all the costs are covered and there’s still a benefit.”

Amanda and Ashley are among those hopeful that the event continues. The sisters said they would also like to add another San Francisco Bay swim to their repertoire: the Bridge to Bridge, which is more than four miles long.

“You swim from the Bay Bridge to the Golden Gate Bridge, and it only takes about 30 minutes because of the tides,” Amanda said.

The sisters both swim with the Westside Silver Fins, based out of the Southwest Valley Family YMCA in Goodyear.

tournament, we left 15 runners on base, and we had nine flyouts to left field.”

Although it was frustrating to not advance, Reedy said the team left it all out on the field.

“The game doesn’t know who’s going to win, you’ve got to play, so it wasn’t our time, but I think we all left it on the field and gave everything we had,” Reedy said.

“I don’t have any regrets.”

During her career, Reedy got to play in Arizona a handful of times. Grand Canyon University participates in the WAC, so every other year, New Mexico State visited Phoenix. The Lady Aggies also played in a couple of tournaments at Arizona State University, and the 2015 regional tournament New Mexico State made was at the University of Arizona.

“My parents and my family did a great job of coming and supporting me, so I never didn’t have a familiar face in the crowd,” Reedy said. “That made it easier to settle in there and make a home where I was going to school at.”

Tatum Reedy knows how to win.

The 2012 graduate of Estrella Foothills led the Lady Wolves to two state championship game appearances, winning one, and two state semifinals during her high school career.

Reedy SOFTBALL continued that success for four more years at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, capping off a standout career this season by earning All-Western Athletic Conference SecondTeam honors.

In her four years at New Mexico State, the team went a combined 153-80. The year before Reedy arrived, the Lady Aggies were a sub-.500 team.

“It was definitely something to be proud of accomplishment wise, in terms of saying you finished four years of softball at a collegiate, Division I level, and the things it’s taught me in terms of time management and reaching out to the community,” Reedy said. “It provided numerous connections that will help me further my career choice. That’s pretty cool.”

Reedy, a catcher, batted .269 this year in her senior season, belting nine home runs and driving home 32 runs. She tied for second on the team in homers and was fourth in RBI. When Tatum connected with the ball, she was going to hit it a really long way,” New Mexico State coach Kathy Rodolph said. “I don’t believe anybody on the team outworked her this year. She left it all out on the field. She came in on a daily basis and worked one on one with coach [Catherine] Heifner. Tatum definitely put in the time, put in the effort and led by example.”

Reedy said her class schedule allowed her to put in extra work.

“I had a lot of extra time where I could go in and get extra reps on my own,” Reedy said. “So, I would take an underclassman and we would go hit for a couple hours here and there. It was nice to see that it came together and paid off.”

It was not Reedy’s best collegiate season in terms of average, but her power numbers were the best in her four years at New Mexico State. She was also a solid backstop, compiling a .993 fielding percentage. In 269 chances, Reedy committed just two errors. She also threw out 10 would be base stealers.

“She’s a phenomenal young lady and

TATUM REEDY, front, a 2012 graduate of Estrella Foothills High School, rears back to fire the ball to first base last season during a game for New Mexico State University. Reedy played four seasons for the Lady Aggies, earning All-WAC second-team honors her senior year. a great leader, somebody that I really enjoyed the passion that she played with,” Rodolph said. “Not only was she talented, but she was somebody that everybody loved. So, it’s kind of what you’re looking for in the quarterback/catching position.”

As a junior, Reedy batted .294 with six homers and 22 RBI. She hit .390 as a sophomore, but only played in 27 games.

She played in 52 and 54 her junior and senior years, respectively.

“My sophomore year, I didn’t have as many opportunities, but when I did get my opportunities, I didn’t take them for granted,” Reedy said. “I put in a lot of time my sophomore year, worked with the coach. When it came my time, I came through. I didn’t get as many opportunities, but I took advantage of the opportunities I got.”

her four years, but did get to the regional tournament her junior year. After getting run-ruled in the opening game against Minnesota, New Mexico State beat St. John’s and had to face Minnesota again.

The Lady Aggies made it much closer that time, losing 2-0.

“We had bases loaded and nobody out in the seventh inning,” Reedy said. “It was a great experience to say you made it to regionals, and get New Mexico State’s name out there, because nobody really knows about New Mexico State.”

As a senior, Reedy’s team won the WAC with a 14-1 record, but lost in the WAC tournament and didn’t qualify for the regional tournament. The Lady Aggies lost two close games in the WAC tournament, both to Cal-State University Bakersfield.

The scores were 2-1 and 1-0.

“That was rough,” Reedy said.

“The first time we lost to them in the

Reedy is done with collegiate softball, but she’ll still be finishing her degree at New Mexico State. She’s getting her undergraduate degree in communicative disorders with minors in counseling and educational psychology, and early childhood education. After that, Reedy wants to get a master’s degree in speech pathology or audiology. Her goal is to be an audiologist and coach club softball.

She likes club because of the traveling and work schedule.

“There’s more games and it’s more weekend based, so you can still have a job and do that on the weekends,” Reedy said.

Having been a catcher her whole life, coaching is a natural transition for someone wanting to stay involved with the sport.

“Coach called us the quarterbacks of the team, in terms of leading, so we always had to know what was going on,” Reedy said. “So, that’s an advantage for when I transition into coaching, eventually.”

Now that Reedy’s playing career is done, it’s bittersweet, she said.

“I’m excited to see where life takes me, but at the same time, walking away from the game, I have no regrets,” Reedy said.

“I’m thankful for the opportunity softball has given me in terms of growing as a person.”

Rodolph said Reedy is a one-of-a-kind type kid.

“She came to our camp at New Mexico State when I wasn’t looking for a catcher, and I absolutely fell in love with her contagious energy,” Rodolph said. “I knew from the very beginning it was a great match. I’m going to have tremendous shoes to fill to replace her this year.”

good decisions.”

Lefebvre said he’s going to split Jordan between JV and varsity, but expects him to land a full-time role with the varsity team by midseason.

The coach was pleased with the entire program’s commitment to hard work over the last few weeks, he said.

“They come in and get stuff done,” Lefebvre said. “They’re pretty efficient, and they’re doing things that are going to get them to our ultimate goal, which is improving our basketball ability, our basketball skills, our team skills.”

The Lobos also work to make sure the offseason sweat is placed on a concrete foundation.

“We put a premium on the person first, the student second and then the athlete,” Lefebvre said. “Their heart and their mind, to me, are what’s most important.

We’ll get the body right, but if you don’t have the heart and the mind in it, it doesn’t matter what you do with the body, because it’s not going to be right.”

Continuing the offseason The Lobos are finished with the official offseason program, but the work won’t stop there. Lefebvre has developed a comprehensive schedule for the players to complete on their own time.

“It’s all spelled out in a handbook,” Lefebvre said. “All the lifts have pictures,

all the drills have diagrams. Everything from shooting to conditioning to lifting.

There’s a calendar, suggested days of the week for them, so there are no excuses.”

The program is set up on the honor system: Players who slack off will be behind their peers in conditioning.

Individual sessions are available by request, Lefebvre said.

“In July, one of my assistants does individual skill work, if the guys want to do that,” Lefebvre said. “He has that laid out for them. There are many guys who want to do that, and it’s great. It’s an option for them.”

Guidebooks aren’t a new concept for Lefebvre. The Lobos’ coach has spent years collecting conditioning, weight lifting and drill exercises to keep together as a resource.

“I’ve been doing this [coaching] so long, I’ve forgotten stuff,” he said. “Now, I can go back and look. Every team is different, so there are drills you do with one that you didn’t do with another, so it’s nice to have a reference, especially if you haven’t done it in a couple of years.”

Lefebvre said he and his assistant coaches make updates to the database frequently.

“I’m pretty proud of it, to be honest,” he said. “It’s years of work and having great assistants with ideas we put together.”

The Lobos have increased their win total every season under Lefebvre, and will look to continue that trend once the winter sports season begins in November.

in the previous seven games, collecting 10 hits, including one home run.

Calhoun is hitting .290 on the season, with 10 homers and 40 RBIs. His average and on-base percentage (.361) thus far are career bests.

Solis helping Nationals stay atop the NL East Sammy Solis, a 2007 graduate of Agua Fria High School, has been one

of the most reliable relievers for the National League East leading Washington Nationals this season.

The southpaw is 1-2 coming out of the bullpen, sporting a 1.46 ERA in 24.2 innings pitched. Solis has struck out 30 batters while walking only 12, and opponents are hitting a miniscule .153 off him this season.

Solis made his Major League debut April 30, 2015, pitching two innings of shutout ball against the New York Mets.

RICKY ROBINSON, right, of Estrella Foothills tries to get off a shot against Scottsdale Christian defenders during last season’s Division III state championship game. Robinson and the Wolves had a successful summer of games in preparation for 2016-17.

Rebuild (From Page 15) he’s on the court, he gives 100 percent.”

One player who had limited minutes last year but is making a huge impact during the summer is Nick Masi. The junior saw action in just eight games in 2015-16.

“There was one game in San Diego, we played a big California school and Nick Masi hit nine 3-pointers in a row; it was crazy,” Gutwein said. “He’s a kid that

could hit an open jump shot, but you see that and all of a sudden all the sets we would normally run for Grant, we ran for Nick and he goes and hits nine in a row. It’s been pretty cool. Nick’s been a pleasant surprise.”

Other than those four players, nobody else really stepped up and asserted themselves, Gutwein said.

“There are kids who I think have some potential, but I think we’re seeing those four, Sammy, Ricky, Grant and Nick Masi, setting themselves apart, and then the goal for the rest of the summer is to find some guys to round out, have a group of at least eight we can roll with,” Gutwein said.

The Wolves will have a tall task ahead of them in

trying to return to the state championship game in 201617. Estrella will compete in the newly realigned 4A conference as one of the smallest schools in it. Still, Gutwein is excited.

“I’m optimistic with this group of guys, and it will be exciting to see who else develops and comes along,” Gutwein said. “But I love the demeanor and love the effort they’re playing with, so it’s really tough to not enjoy working with these guys just because they give you so much effort.”
