Klingler has served as Buckeye’s assistant city manager for the past two years and replaces former City Manager Stephen Cleveland, who resigned June 27 after seven years with the city.

Buckeye Mayor Jackie Meck said the council, which did not put a time limit on the interim title, Klingler has served Roger Klingler felt well as the assistant city manager.

Participants sought for October fundraisers in Goodyear, Buckeye benefiting cancer survivors

by Glenn Gullickson staff writer

Relay for Life events in Goodyear and Buckeye may not be until October, but planners are already busy recruiting folks to participate in the fundraisers that benefit those battling cancer.

“It’s time to get signed up,” said Teresa Bible, who started work as coordinator for this year’s Relay for Life for the Southwest Valley in Goodyear the day after last year’s event.

It’s all part of an American Cancer Society campaign that involves more than 4 million people annually at events in more than 20 countries.

Bible hopes the Goodyear event will draw 450 people on 40 teams for this year’s Relay for Life, which will start at 6 p.m. Oct. 8 and continues until 6 a.m. the next day at Goodyear Ballpark, 1933 S. Ballpark Way, Goodyear.

In Buckeye, the Relay for Life will start at 3 p.m. Oct. 22 and continue until 6 a.m. the next day at Youngker High School, 3000 S. Apache Road, Buckeye.

Jessie Owens, coordinator of the Buckeye event, said her goal is for 400 participants on 50 teams to raise $50,000, almost double raised last year.

Avondale held its Relay for Life event in April.

The Goodyear event’s goal is to raise $64,000, up about $15,000 from last year, Bible said.

“I’m pretty determined we’re going to hit that number,” she said.

Bible said she’s also determined to raise the funds without spending any money.

“It’s important for us to do this with donations,” she said. “The more money we raise, the more money there is to help some family.”

The Goodyear campaign will get a boost when teams are invited to the Super Kickoff at 6:30 p.m. July 21 at Cancer Treatment Centers of America, 14200 Celebrate Life Way, Goodyear.

Owens, who has an organizing committee of 40 people, said she is working with the Buckeye Valley Chamber of Commerce to secure sponsorships and uses social media to promote the event.

“We’re trying to get feelers out in the community,” she said.

Teams have already started to raise money with activities ranging from bake sales and car washes to working with employers and corporate donors.

The funds go to American Cancer Society programs and research as well as local projects that help cancer survivors.

RELAY FOR LIFE Planning Committee members Tony Couch, left, Suzy Smith, Kelley Mauck and Teresa Bible pose in the Banner Boswell Memorial Hall in Banner Boswell Medical Center June 23 in Sun City.

The team is gearing up for this year’s Relay set for Oct. 8 at Goodyear Ballpark.

Owens said one of those local programs is Road to Recovery, which uses volunteer drivers to get cancer patients to their medical appointments.

Brittany Conklin, communications manager for the American Cancer Society in Phoenix, said Arizona researchers are working on projects funded by six grants from the organization totaling $5.2 million.

She said money raised also helps fund the Hope Lodge at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, which provides accommodations for cancer patients and their caretakers.

Relay for Life puts the focus on cancer survivors, who are treated to a dinner with their caretakers at each event.

The relays traditionally open with survivors taking a lap around the track that surrounds the ball field in Goodyear and the track at the football field at Youngker High School in Buckeye.

“You’ll see all kinds of people at different stages of their cancer fights, some in wheelchairs,” Bible said.

Then caretakers are invited to take a lap before everyone joins in.

As the event continues, each team is expected to have at least one member on the track at all times, because cancer never sleeps.

During the night, activities range from the profound to the comical.

“It will make you cry, it will make you laugh, it’s awesome,” Bible said.

Each relay features a ceremony with decorated luminarias dedicated to cancer victims and survivors.

In Goodyear, the mood is lightened at midnight when the Mr. Relay contest features male participants dressed in drag, Bible said.

Owens said teams at the Buckeye relay will raise money during the event by hosting carnival games and raffles.

Youths play a big role at the relays, with last year’s fundraising winners in Goodyear being a team from Avondale’s Take Five Dance Academy, with members ranging in age from 6 to teenagers, who raised almost $10,000, Bible said.

Owens said the largest team at the Buckeye event is traditionally from Youngker High School, where students have a Relay for Life club on campus and often recruit their parents to participate.

“They’re our go-getters,” Owens said.

Last year, Buckeye Union High School formed a team for the first time, she said.

Five area high schools that fielded teams last year in Goodyear competed for a traveling trophy, Bible said.

For the first time, this year the Goodyear event will work to involve students in elementary schools, she said.

Bible said four of the 12 members of her event committee are cancer survivors.

While she hasn’t had cancer, Bible said her father, sister and daughter are survivors, which got her involved in Relay for Life for the last three years.

“That is why I am working with this,” Bible said. “I don’t want this to touch other families.”

Owens agreed that losing friends and family members to cancer motivated her to be involved in the event for seven years.

“Every time I think about backing off, I lose someone else … so I know why I’m doing it,” she said.

A Glendale police officer died last week in a singlevehicle accident near 202nd Avenue and McDowell Road in Buckeye, officials said.

Officer Shaun Hardesty, 38, worked with the Glendale Police Department for 15 years, according to a press release put out by the department.

At about 2:30 a.m. July 3, his vehicle struck a boulder in the road, causing the vehicle to catch fire, said Detective Doug Matteson, a spokesman with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office.

Shaun Hardesty The accident is under investigation by MCSO’s vehicular crimes unit, Matteson said.

Hardesty started his law enforcement career with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office, and joined Glendale a year later.

During his service, he was assigned to various duties, including patrol, the downtown neighborhood response squad, child crimes investigations, the Gateway neighborhood response squad and adult sex crimes investigations, according to Glendale’s release.

Hardesty was the recipient of multiple meritorious unit medals, and was given the Chief’s Award for rescuing and evacuating a nursing home and rehabilitation center during an active fire, the release states.

He also participated in numerous community events for at-risk youths and assisted in the annual W. Steven Martin Toy Drive, the release states.

A visitation is planned for 9 a.m. Friday, followed by a funeral service at 10 a.m. at Palm Valley Church, 431 N. Litchfield Road, Goodyear.

Hardesty is survived by his wife, Allison, and four children ages 16, 14, 4 and 11 months.

A GoFundMe account has been set up at gofundme. com/2cutxwk# to benefit his family. More than $21,000 had been raised as of noon Tuesday.

2 dead in single-vehicle accident on I-10 in Buckeye

by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

Investigators suspect driver fatigue was a factor in a fatal rollover crash Monday on eastbound Interstate 10 near Watson Road in Buckeye, officials said.

A large SUV carrying nine people lost control at about 11 a.m. and rolled several times, said Quentin Mehr, a spokesman with the Arizona Department of Public Safety.

Glendale resident Maria Del Carmen Chavez, 31, and a 4-year-old boy from Glendale died in the crash, DPS officials said.

Chavez was driving and apparently veered into the median, then swerved abruptly and over corrected, which initiated the rollover crash, officials said.

None of the occupants was properly restrained, and many were ejected from the SUV during the crash, DPS

officials said.

Another woman and a 13-year-old passenger were transported to Abrazo West Campus in Goodyear. Four children were taken by ambulance to Phoenix Children’s Hospital, and one child was flown to Phoenix Children’s Hospital, officials said.

“This collision is a tragedy. Collisions can happen at any time and place. People always need to be prepared when driving our highways,” DPS Capt. Damon Cecil said. “Good driving habits, making sure the vehicle is functioning properly and always, always utilizing safety restraints go a long way in making for a safer trip.”

W.V. man crashes into Goodyear home View report

A 19-year-old man was arrested July 4 after driving his car through a wall and hitting a house near Westar Drive and San Miguel in Goodyear, officials said.

John Ivey, 19, of Litchfield Park was arrested and faces charges for driving under the influence, alcohol consumption by a minor, unlawful possession of alcohol and failure to notify the owner of property damage, said Lisa Kutis, a spokeswoman with the Goodyear Police Department.

Police responded at about 1 a.m. to reports of a vehicle that had crashed into a residence in Estrella, Kutis said.

Ivey was driving north on Westar at San Miguel when he went through a community wall and into a backyard, damaging the home, she said. He was located a few minutes later at South Lake Park about a half mile away.

The residents in the home were not injured, she said.

Ivey, who was the only occupant in the vehicle, sustained a minor injury and was treated at a local hospital before his arrest, Kutis said.

Waddell man arrested after going 100 mph in stolen vehicle on Loop 303

by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

A 20-year-old Waddell man was arrested July 6 after driving 100 mph on southbound Loop 303 near Indian School Road, officials said.

At about 6 p.m., a trooper with the Arizona Department of Public Safety attempted to stop the vehicle, driven by Cesar Dominguez, said Trooper Kameron Lee, a spokesman with DPS. The vehicle, which was stolen at gunpoint during a carjacking last month in Cesar Glendale, exited at Thomas Dominguez Road and crashed into the

raised concrete median, then went down into an embankment, Lee said.

Dominguez, along with passengers Steve Reyna, 45, of Phoenix and a 16-year-old girl, fled on foot but were all obtained and taken into custody, Lee said.

Reyna and the teen were transported to a hospital, where it was discovered that Reyna had a possible fractured pelvis. The girl complained of minor back pain, Lee said.

Dominguez faces charges of aggravated assault and endangerment because of the speed, collision and likelihood of injuries, Lee said.

The owner of the vehicle no longer desired prosecution in the case, he said.

Avondale police Buckeye woman helps save boy arrest man in being bullied at Tartesso park ATM robbery View report

View report

Avondale police arrested a man July 9 in connection to an ATM robbery earlier that week at a Chase bank near Dysart Road and Rancho Santa Fe Boulevard in Avondale, officials said.

William Schuster, 30, who is a transient, was apprehended at about 3:50 p.m. at a QuikTrip gas station near 91st and Olive avenues in Peoria, said Sgt. Matthew Hintz, a spokesman with the Avondale Police Department.

He was booked into Maricopa County Fourth William Avenue Jail and faces one count of armed robbery, a Class Schuster 2 felony, Hintz said.

Schuster allegedly robbed a 71-year-old man at about 9 a.m. July 4, and hit him on the head after he finished his ATM transaction, Hintz said.

Police were able to identify Schuster with help from the public, he said.

The popular new Pokémon Go game may have helped a woman save a 12-year-old boy’s life Sunday at Tartesso Community Sports Park at 303rd Avenue and Tartesso Parkway in Buckeye.

Jeanette Warner of Buckeye went to the park that morning to play the game with her granddaughter when she found two teenagers bullying the younger boy, she said.

“They were making him run sprints, not letting him get a drink, just being real turkeys,” Warner said.

She continued playing, but said her conscience brought her back to the playground where the boys were earlier.

“At that point, he was on his hands and knees, with one of the boys standing over him,” she said.

The older boys left, and the younger one tried to ride his bike through the desert, but fell down.

“He was really stumbling, and he fell face first into the rocks,” Warner said.

That’s when she called 911.

“Everything happens for a reason,” she said. “If it wasn’t for my son loading Pokémon on my phone, and me coming back to the park to reload the balls for my granddaughter, I never would’ve been in the right place at the right time to see this little guy needed help.”

Buckeye firefighters said the boy was showing signs of heat stroke. He was transported to a local hospital and later flown to Phoenix Children’s Hospital.

The incident was reported to the Department of Child Safety.

Turner, a spokesman with the Buckeye Valley Fire District.

A few abandoned structures were threatened, but firefighters from Buckeye Valley and Goodyear quickly stopped the advance of the fire and mopped up all the hot spots, Turner said.

No injuries or property loss were reported, he said.

Veteran (From Page 1) his military career with an event in July.

Ennis, 94, who lives in Goodyear, said he doesn’t believe in living in the spotlight.

Ennis’ friend, Richard Prato, thinks Ennis was probably one of the best Navy carrier pilots during World War II, making him deserving of some attention.

Ennis and others like him were “our weapon” in World War II, Prato said.

During a 27-year military career, Ennis also served during the Korean War and the Vietnam War. “I wanted to get the vets to honor him,” Prato said.

So on July 16, the Patriot Guard Riders, a group of motorcycle enthusiasts who honor military personnel, will ride to Ennis’ home for a gathering.

The memories of World War II veterans are becoming precious since of the 16 million men and women who served during the war, fewer than 700,000 are alive, most in their 90s, according to the World War II Museum.

An estimated 20,000 of them are Arizona residents, according to museum statistics.

Ennis’ story starts in his hometown of New York City, where as a boy he was drawn to aviation when his father, a pilot in World War I, took him to see airplanes.

“That was our Sunday entertainment,” Ennis said.

Ennis signed up for the Navy after graduating from high school.

He was inspired by his father’s philosophy, summed up as “unless you take a swing at it, you’re never going to hit anything.”

In 1942, Ennis went to flight school in Chapel Hill, N.C., then was deployed as the U.S. fought in Europe and Asia.

“The Navy’s war was in the Pacific,” said Ennis, who saw action in the Philippines, Leyte Gulf, Okinawa and Iwo Jima.

“Iwo Jima was the war. We had to have that,” Ennis said of the Pacific island that was captured from the Japanese and became a staging area for attacks.

His favorite plane was the F6F Hellcat as he made 444 landings on Navy carriers and what he described as “a few unscheduled landings in the water.”

“It doesn’t take any talent to get shot down, it comes real easy,” Ennis said. “Someone who knows something about what makes an airplane fly, that’s another story. It takes a lot of finesse to survive a crash.”

After being pulled from the water for the third time, Ennis had earned the right to return home, something he said he couldn’t do.

“I had to live with myself for the rest of my life,” he said.

As a pilot focusing on a target, Ennis acknowledged that he got nervous.

Keep your children safe around water!

Have a great summer from all of us here at...

NAVY PILOT WILL ENNIS poses with his Grumman F6F Hellcat aboard the USS Hancock during World War II. The 94-year-old Goodyear man is being honored for his military service by the Patriot Guard Riders on July 16.

“And anyone who says otherwise is a liar,” he said.

But there was motivation for going into battle.

“When I get shot at, I get pissed off,” he said.

A highlight of his World War II service wasn’t in the air, but being selected as an aide for Admiral William “Bull” Halsey, a fleet commander.

The experience included meeting Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, who was supreme commander of U.S. forces in Europe and later served as president.

In 1945, Ennis was in Michigan getting ready to rejoin the battle when the war ended.

Making the transition from flying prop planes to jets, Ennis went on to serve missions in Korea and Vietnam, but he noted that the attitude toward the military changed.

During the Vietnam War, Ennis remembered when his carrier was docked in San Francisco, servicemen were advised to wear civilian clothes rather than their uniforms during shore leave.

“That was when we weren’t too popular. To me, that was a complete insult,” he said. “I’m a friend of the vets.”

Evidence of that is a cluster of miniature American flags in his home that acknowledge donations he’s made to veterans groups.

After retiring from the Navy with the rank of commander, Ennis settled in San Diego, where he was chief instructor at a flight school that he helped move to the airport in Goodyear 24 years ago.

Since then, Ennis has lived in Goodyear’s Estrella community, sharing his home with a golden retriever and Australian shepherd.

Prato hopes that putting a spotlight on the veteran will help teach others about history.

“It may start a conversation, so it’s a good thing,” Prato said.

To join the ride honoring Ennis, motorcyclists can meet at 9:45 a.m. July 16 in the parking lot of Safeway, 9890 S. Estrella Parkway, Goodyear.

Interim

“I am excited about working with the City Council and staff in delivering outstanding services to the citizens of Buckeye,” Klingler said.

He earned a master’s degree in public administration from Michigan State University and holds a law degree from the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University.

(From Page 1) government before he came to Buckeye, we felt he was the logical choice to lead this city forward at this time,” Meck said.

ZYGLIS’ OPINION — The Buffalo News

EDITORIAL

Buckeye residents should attend all candidate forums Buckeye may be districted, but from what we saw at last week’s candidate forum for District 2, all Buckeye residents should attend every forum.

The three Buckeye mayoral candidates have very different views about their 600-square-mile city, and with audience submitted questions, there’s no guarantee they’re going to hit upon the same topics at each forum.

Sure, their opening and closing statements will likely be the same, with some fine-tuning and refinement, from forum to forum, but there’s no telling what questions each audience will ask.

Take for instance the question “Is Buckeye ‘open for business’?” While Jackie Meck and Tom Campanella subscribe to the city’s slogan, Brian McAchran couldn’t disagree more. Or the question about the Global Water purchase. Meck, the incumbent mayor, and McAchran, current councilman for District 1, were both on the council when the decision was made to buy the private water company, and say it was a good decision. A smart decision. Campanella not so much. How about the question regarding city staff’s four-day work week — a budget-saving measure that went into effect at the beginning of the recession? Oh lordy, do Meck and McAchran differ on that one! So much so that McAchran wouldn’t even be satisfied with a five-day work week. He wants city staff on bankers’ hours, working half-days on Saturdays.

Only voters in Districts 1, 2 and 3 can vote for council members in their respective districts this go round, but mayor is elected at large, meaning all Buckeye residents can vote in that race. We urge all residents to attend the next two forums set for 6 p.m. Thursday at Bales Elementary School, 25400 W. Maricopa Road (District 1); and 6 p.m. July 21 at WestPark Elementary School, 2700 S. 257th Drive (District 3).

Right-leaning publication was an ad A recent paid insert in the West Valley View has caused quite a stir. Some readers have even canceled their papers because of it. The Arizona Statesman, a publication created

by U.S. Senate candidate Alex Meluskey, was a paid advertisement inserted in the June 29 edition. Perhaps that was not clear, and for that, we apologize. We neither agree nor disagree with its contents, we simply accepted payment from Meluskey to get his message out, just like we do with any other advertisement. If politicians want to buy ad space, we will gladly sell it to them, and you, dear readers, will see more and more political ads as the election nears. Please do not mistake these for endorsements. When we do endorse candidates, it will be in an editorial and it will be obvious.

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.

Hillary’s folly Editor: I was reading the New York Times this morning, just for a change of pace from Arizona’s Daily we are forced to take as a no choice option for some left leaning local and national news.

The headline read “Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren Take Aim at Donald Trump”.

What a folly! 1974 blue polyester twins. Warren was spewing anti Trump Jokes while Mrs. Clinton stood on stage grinning and nodding, her hands clasped calmly at her waist.

Mrs. Clinton ticked off a list of little-known Trump enterprises.

“Trump suits were made in Mexico,” she said. “Trump furniture is made in Turkey, instead of Cleveland. Trump barware is made in Slovenia, instead of Toledo.”

Well, let’s be clear. Mrs. Clinton’s war chest was made right here in the USA. Our most hated enemies, Wall Street and academia, despite her misguided

decisions have enabled her to attempt to perpetuate the Clinton dynasty. Ultimately that will simply give us another four years of failed Obama policies! Mrs. Clinton states: “I got into this race because I wanted to even the odds for people who have the odds stacked against them,” Really?

PS Messrs. Azzarello & Posner…..Have at it!

City credit card use or abuse?

Editor: Recently I requested to see public documents on the credit card usage of officials in the administration in particular the Mayor and the City Manager.

It seems residents of Buckeye have been subsidizing many meals for elected and appointed officials in Buckeye all in the name of business lunches or breakfast.

What is even more alarming is that the City Manager earns nearly $200K in salary and benefits, gets a city vehicle and fuel for the vehicle and it seems as though now meals are included. According to receipts employees go to lunch with the Manager, have a discussion about their department

and the City pays for it. Not just the meal, taxpayers have been leaving the tip as well. It seems the Mayor also accompanies the Manager or other elected officials and sometimes even hosts the lunch and charges it to the taxpayer. These meetings have also been classified as team Buckeye discussions and at least a third of them have been at Goodyear establishments. Why is it necessary for Buckeye employees and officials to host employee lunches in another city to discuss Buckeye? The Manager states “tax dollars spent in Buckeye stay in Buckeye”. Evidently, only for the taxpayer but our officials are exempt.

All this while they pass budgets with operating deficits, give out 4.5% salary increases and balance it with funds from reserve savings.

Unlike my opponent I will not be throwing tens of thousands of dollars into this campaign on signs, stickers, ads or mailers to buy your vote. My forum is talking to you directly and inviting you to do the same.

With your support on August 30, 2016 we can change the future of our City and bring responsible government to Buckeye.

Freedom is not free Editor: After the carnage at the Istanbul airport, the threat level has once again been raised here in the US for increased terrorist activities.

Most people don’t relate to Istanbul, but surely they can relate to Orlando or San Bernardino.

Terrorism is here and will be here until we’ve found the snake in a foreign land and severed the head and smashed the body. Until then we’ll continue to have increased warnings about possible attacks.

On this Fourth of July weekend, let’s go ahead and enjoy ourselves as we have in the past, but add to that the gratitude for those who protect us. From our local first-responders to the men and women of the military who fight our battles wherever they are.

Arizona can be extra proud to be home to the super-fighter jet, the F-35 which is now at Yuma Air Station and Luke AFB. This is the aircraft that will maintain our airsuperiority well into the future.

Freedom isn’t free. There will always be a price to be paid for this Independence Day, so thank someone who is on the front-line doing all they can to keep us safe.

Meluskey for Senate?

Editor: As I opened up my June 29th WVV, I was greeted with an unsolicited infomercial for Alex Meluskey for Senate. He is trying to unseat McCain apparently by painting him as some sort of Liberal. Admittedly, I had never heard of Mr. Meluskey

Re: Islamic brainwashing Editor: First she condemns all Islamic refugees. For what? Being refugees? And then she refers to all practitioners of Islam as pedophiles, thereby conflating the religion of Islam with ISIL perversions of the religion.

Second, she accuses “our Government� [sic] of embracing Islam in our public schools under the CORE program. She apparently got this information from a “chain email� spreading a rumor about the “teaching of Islam� in California schools.

According to snopes (http:// www.snopes.com/politics/ religion/islam.asp), the CALIFORNIA 7th grade course examines the impact of a variety of cultures on events and provides information about a number of cultures, including Japanese, Chinese, European, African, South American, and Muslim.

Mother Macree also reports that “journalist� James Rosen reported a “sound and flash of light� (Yes, she really did say that) “at the time of the Iranian deal.� What this has to do with the price eggs, Macree fails to explain. “Journalist� Rosen works for Fox “News.� ‘Nuf said.

Ann-Louise Truschel Buckeye

Rights vs. needs Editor: The writer of “Stricter gun laws needed,� may not “feel safe� with a gun in the neighborhood, but how safe might he feel if criminals know there are no guns in the neighborhood?

In fact I challenge him to post his residence with signs notifying all potential robbers that “This is a gun free home.�

Hundreds of thousands of Americans own modern sporting rifles and the high capacity magazines that go with them, while never harming a soul.

The use by the writer of the pejorative term “assault weapon,� tells me he hasn’t the slightest idea of what he is talking about, he’s going off “half cocked,� pun intended.

In this nation, we do not punish the innocent for the crimes of the guilty except where firearms are concerned.

Nobody who claims to believe in democracy or civil rights should ever advocate adoption of statutes or regulations that empower the government to place a limit on the exercise of a fundamental civil right.

This “nobody needs� philosophy is put forth by people who believe that society should exist by their individual standards.

It’s a “Bill of Rights� not a bill of needs.

Law abiding gun owners already obey the more than 20,000 gun control laws on the books.

I realize that this may come as a bit of a shock but CRIMINALS WILL NOT OBEY MORE GUN LAWS NO MATTER HOW STRICT! And by the way the SEMI AUTOMATIC modern sporting rifle is extremely well adapted for home defense as many criminals, intent on murder and mayhem, have discovered.

To their terminal surprise!

FYI, the definition “assault rifle,� applies only to SELECTIVE FIRE weapons which can fire single or multiple rounds by the operation of a switch.

DJ Hammond Buckeye

2nd Amendment error Editor: In these continuing troubled times we all need to occasionally take a break from reality and lighten up a little. Historians have recently discovered that many of the framers of the United States Constitution were notoriously bad in spelling.

As a result, it now seems highly likely that the Second Amendment was never intended to be about gun control at all. It was instead intended to give everyone the right to wear tank tops in public without threat of consequences.

The Second Amendment actually meant to say that all citizens have the right to bare arms!

Walt Kalback Goodyear

Half-baked hooey Editor: Mr. Meluskey, here’s the “good news� about your 12 page “advert� to the June 29th View: I won’t vote for McCain in November. Of course, I also won’t vote for you!

Alas, 300 words aren’t enough to deal with all the empty rhetoric, hypocrisy, distortions, and hooey in your piece, so I’ll address the “greatest hits�.

Ours is not a “Judeo-Christian�

Nation. America wasn’t founded on any religion, and there are far more than just Jews and Christians here. Besides, the differences between Judaism and Christianity are as wide and deep as the Grand Canyon!

If by “remaining vigilant� you mean discriminating against Muslims, how empty are your words about “First Amendment freedoms� and “equality�. “Religious Liberty� is not a license to do whatever you want in the name of faith. (Try conducting a human sacrifice sometime.) Religious belief is protected absolutely, but conduct is not. You favor religious based discrimination? How about

reviving Want Ads which say “Jews, Blacks, Women, and Catholics need not apply�?

Will you next tell us Mormons shouldn’t hold public office because their faith is just a “cult�?

And please provide some proof (an item sorely lacking in your advert) that the government told you how you can or can’t think, where you can pray, or that you can’t believe in your god.

The Second Amendment? I see no mention of an “unalienable right to life� there, nor in the rest of the Constitution (which is the supreme law of the land). I do see mention of “the security of a free State�, and I know the “right to keep and bear arms� isn’t absolute — as even “conservative� Justice Scalia said!

Finally, I’d love to adopt your “reasoning� about removing judges, and impeach Justices Alito, Kennedy, Roberts, and Thomas for “political offenses�!

More responses on-line.

Simple solutions Editor: We all gravitate toward simple solutions. We seldom have the expertise to understand the complexity of today’s problems so we jump at the simple solution given to us by a group or person with a hidden agenda. For example, when John McCain was recently asked why the VA was still not properly caring for our vets, he couldn’t very well say that the priorities of the Congress did not allow for proper funding.

 OPINIONS

Letters (From Page 7) simplified explanation blaming the union of the underpaid VA workers was ridiculous considering the original investigation said the VA was short 3000 doctors. McCain’s agenda was a photo shoot.

Misconceptions like overpaid union workers are supported by those among us who feel we are being underpaid and feel helpless to do anything about it. It’s easier to hate the teachers union, a union that represents some of the most underpaid, not to mention one of the most important groups in society. We look at a teacher that teaches simple math for 10 months a year and assume anyone could do that, ignoring the fact that the skill in teaching has little to do with the subject matter and everything to do with the skill of teaching. A skill few of us could master and a job that requires the kind of dedication few of us have.

McCain has the most powerful of all “unions”. They make the rules by giving themselves the best of all retirement packages with add-ons like “insider trading”.

Trade agreements are the hot topic today. Watch our leaders try to explain how something that only benefits the rich and large corporations is somehow a medicine that we all have to be willing to take.

Throw them all out Editor: From local to state to federal offices we need to through them all out politics was not meant to be a lifetime job term limits should be mandatory we need to pay attention be informed attend meetings and vote AL Smith Buckeye

Distracted driving must end Editor: It’s rare that I advocate more government as a solution to a problem. I agree with Ronald Reagan that government is often the problem not solution, however the amount of distracted driving taking place on Arizona roads is completely out of hand and needs to be addressed with laws, regulations, and

punishments. Too many people are driving automobiles of all sizes and speeds and they aren’t looking at the road, can’t hear anything because of earbuds, or can’t control their vehicles because they’re driving with their knees in order to SnapChat.

Last month, I was nearly run over by a vehicle, while I was walking in a crosswalk with a green walk sign because a driver made a left turn from Litchfield onto Western and never bothered to lift their face from the phone as they made the turn. We need to address talking and texting while driving and we need to also address driving with earbuds that limit how much you can hear. Realistically, a law won’t stop everyone from distracted driving. No law can undo the current level of narcissistic behavior that explains why too many people feel a Facebook post, text, or Snapchat is more important than their safety, the safety of the other people in their automobile, and the safety of others on the road. I would like to know what’s so important that as they drive a large SUV full of kids, in a school parking lot full of kids that they are looking at their phone and not the road or the people in that parking lot.

Again, I’m not naive enough to think a law will completely solve this problem, but when you visit states where there are distracted driver laws, there are more people looking at the road and not their phones.

Leonard Ornstein Goodyear

The loss of truth Editor: Apologists for the reigning regime, wherever and whoever they may be, continually accept the national media’s nonreporting of facts as truth. This then becomes the politically correct line to be believed.

However, there are those who investigate and understand what’s happening beyond and outside the manufactured box. Along this line, George Orwell is attributed to have written: “In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a terrorist act.” And so it is!

This is especially true since the new “terrorist” is yesterday’s patriotic American and veteran.

That designation is slowly emerging as a line of thought.

Also as we go down this road, individuals who you believed and in whom you had confidence will emerge and by actions or words declare themselves as not what you thought they were. Dropping down to local levels, we have those that repeatedly speak out against your Second Amendment guarantee to be able to defend

yourself and those that parrot the belief that a Supreme Court decision is the law of the land which is not since the Supreme Court doesn’t have the power to overthrow the Constitution by decision.

Turning to the upcoming election, the national media and the entrenched “establishment” will pull out all stops and do whatever is necessary to discredit non-establishment presidential opponents, no matter who they are and what they represent — whether known or not.

Along this line we can expect massive demonstrations and actions against any such candidates who, it is felt, legitimately pose a threat to the present power structure or to the national media. We can also expect no, or very few, such demonstrations agains any emerging establishment accepted candidate.

There’s too much at stake to allow any “outsider” to upset the “status quo” and it’s future ramifications — too much groundwork is completed.

Karl Nelson Goodyear

Weise for mayor Editor: My name is Carol Klein and I am a longtime supporter of Kenn Weise. Since he became Mayor 2 years ago, he has really hit the ground running and been a great champion for Avondale. Mayor Weise has led efforts to pay down city debt, give first responders the tools they need to ensure safety in our community, all while attracting new residents to Avondale. There is no better candidate than Mayor Ken Weise for Avondale Mayor.

He has my vote!

Return of Billy Moore Days Editor: One thing you looked forward to as a kid growing up in Avondale was the Parade. We always heard about Billy Moore Days coming up and knew that the parade was coming too.

I remember getting up early all excited ready to go see the horses and big red fire trucks with the horns blaring and most importantly getting candy.

Sometimes there wasn’t time to get ready, I would take off down 3rd street, Pajamas in all to find a good spot in the shade on Western to sit on the curb. As soon as you heard the sirens you knew it was coming, the colorful

Safe blacks registry needed Editor: How do I get the Buckeye (my residence) and Glendale (father of my children’s residence) police department to respond?

AFTER the shooting, I got an email response from the mayor of Buckeye and candidate Alex Meluskey. Meluskey left a very heartfelt and much appreciated voicemail addressing my concerns. Neither police chief felt the need to respond...see below: Begin forwarded message: From: marie gates <gateslawfirm@icloud.com> Date: July 7, 2016 at 7:31:19 AM MST To: “lhall@buckeyeaz.gov” <lhall@buckeyeaz.gov> Subject: Registration of black youth Good morning, I’m once again saddened by the murdering of black males in America by white police officer.

The Minnesota and Louisiana shootings have become the norm. I’m reaching out to you to see if I can register my sons with Buckeye police department as nonviolent and unarmed.

We are residents of the City of Buckeye. I’m doing what I can to keep them safe from police. I homeschool them. They aren’t allowed to play with water guns without me being outside with them. Please let me know what else I can do to keep them safe. I’m including their photos below. Please circulate photo to your officers so my boys aren’t accidentally shot. I’m also including a photo of my daughter. I know officers are able to deescalate situations when it doesn’t involve a black male. My daughter just last week was surrounded by Buckeye officers for “running a stop sign”. She wasn’t cited. She is

a black female that drives a red Hummer. Nice cars and a black person equals probable cause.

She is home for the summer from college.

Laws don’t stop law breakers Editor: I’m trying to find the right words to respond to all the gun control fanatics out there. Of course, after the latest shooting in Dallas, all some can suggest is more laws to control guns. I saw an article written by Herman Cain, the day after the Dallas shootings, which says it all so much better than I can. It is a little long, but it is well worth the read at http://www.caintv.com/ its-not-guns.its-not-race.its.

By now we should all realize that first of all, laws to not prevent a darn thing. They only allow for prosecution after something is done. Do speeding laws prevent people from speeding? Do laws about stealing prevent people from stealing? Second of all, if you remember your world history at all, think about Germany in the 1930s and ’40s. One of the things Hitler was take guns away from all the people. They now were indefensible. Government controlling the people is never the answer.

If you read Herman Cain’s article, you know that he says EVIL is the reason for all the hate and violence. Evil puts hate in people to make them do such heinous acts.

For those of us who are Christians, we know that only the love of God can help heal our hearts and souls. Only our faith in Christ can take hate out of our hearts and minds. For those who don’t believe, I’m sorry for you and will pray for you daily.

Welcome to the Business Briefcase, everyone.

It’s great to be back delivering business news tidbits.

There was no way to know this beforehand, but your Briefcase host spent a weekend camping in the Coconino National Forest. It was a nice, recharging time in nature, not worrying about emails, cellular service, traffic or eating on a plate. That’s right, tinfoil bowls for the win! I wholeheartedly recommend the camping/hiking experience among the pines up north.

A large fly also found its way into my drink one of the days, so there are pros and cons. The lid Shane McOwen was off for only a few moments, I swear. That bug was quick.

Let’s get back to the real world, shall we?

Thanks to the kind folks at the Litchfield Park Economic Development office, I have a comprehensive list of what will be joining the Fry’s Marketplace, scheduled to open later this summer in the Litchfield Marketplace shopping center at the northeast corner of Litchfield and Camelback roads.

Ace Hardware and Jack in the Box were originally named as tenants in the shopping center along with Fry’s

Avondale employee receives award Cherlene Penilla, human resources director for Avondale, has received a Patriot Award from the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve for her efforts to support veteran initiatives. The Department of Defense award recognizes supervisors and bosses nominated by a guardsman or reservist employee for support of military service.

The award recognizes city efforts made to support veterans through a wide range of measures, including flexible schedules, time off before and after deployment, caring for families and granting leaves of Cherlene absence.

Penilla In addition, Patrick McDermott, Arizona Public Service Co. community affairs manager and ESGR employer outreach coordinator, presented Avondale with a certificate authenticating the city as an employer that has gone above and beyond the legal requirements of the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act for providing its Guard and Reserve employees additional, non-mandated benefits such as differential or full pay to offset lost wages, extended health benefits and other similar benefits.

Buckeye employees honored Four Buckeye employees were honored June 24 at the Buckeye Valley Chamber of Commerce’s annual Buckeye Rocks celebration.

Myra Curtis, Buckeye’s community engagement manager, was selected as Citizen of the Year for her dedication to the multiple community events held each year, as well as teaching courses at Estrella Mountain Community College in Avondale and owning two businesses, The Shoppe on Monroe in downtown

when the project got under way.

For dining options, the center will also have a Panda Express, Papa John’s Pizza, Starbucks, Hot Bagels and a Times Square Neighborhood Italian Restaurant.

Readers are undoubtedly familiar with Panda Express, Papa John’s and Starbucks (you can’t go very far in any direction without running into at least one of those franchises).

Hot Bagels’ Litchfield Marketplace location will be the company’s fourth in the Valley. The bagel shop’s menu features 18 different types of bagels, and 16 types of toppings. Hot and cold sandwiches are served for lunch, and customers can buy various meats and cheeses by the pound.

For information, visit azhotbagels.com.

Times Square Neighborhood Italian Restaurant, which has been serving Phoenix near Loop 101 and Interstate 17 for more than 10 years, is opening its third restaurant in the Litchfield Marketplace area.

The Italian restaurant serves pizza, pasta, sandwiches, and chicken, seafood and veal signature dishes. All locations are open for breakfast, and have a full morning menu.

For information, visit timessquareaz.com.

Litchfield Marketplace will also have a Supercuts, Cute-icle Nails & Spa, Medpost Urgent Care and Oasis Dental.

Cute-icle Nails & Spa opened a location in Surprise in September 2015, and is expanding south to Litchfield Park.

Medpost Urgent Care has 51 locations across nine states, including five in Arizona. The Litchfield Park operation will be the company’s sixth in the Grand Canyon State.

For information, visit medpost.com.

The Fry’s will also have its own Starbucks inside, and a fueling station near the southeast portion of the project.

Harkins Theatres, as many readers have noticed, is currently under construction north of McDowell Road, between Pebble Creek Parkway and Bullard Avenue.

The theater was originally scheduled to open in spring 2016, but didn’t (obviously). The Goodyear Economic Development team said Harkins should be open by this fall.

Staying in Goodyear, INNOVAPE Smoke N Vape is now open at 650 N. Estrella Parkway, Suite A3.

That’s all for this week, folks. Thanks for checking in with the Briefcase, and I hope everyone has had a good week up to this point.

As always, send questions, tips and/or comments to smcowen@westvalleyview.com. I can even be reached by phone, 623-535-8439, Ext. 137. No text messages, please. It’s a landline.

Hiking in the heat Experts warn hitting trails in summer months can be dangerous

by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

Since Skyline Regional Park opened in Buckeye six months ago, firefighters have responded to the trails more than a dozen times.

Now with temperatures in the triple digits, the mountains are all the more dangerous for hikers and emergency crews, said Battalion Chief Travis Rand with the Buckeye Fire Department.

Six people died during one weekend in June on mountains around Arizona as the heat hit record highs, proving the trails can turn deadly for even the most avid hikers if they’re not prepared, especially during the summer months, Rand said.

Most people who end up needing to be rescued have hiked farther than their ability — older people with medical issues, visitors from out of town or even young, fit hikers who weren’t prepared, Rand said.

“I think people underestimate the weather and overestimate their ability, and it gets a lot of people in trouble,” Buckeye Fire Engineer William Burnett said.

Buckeye firefighters respond to the mountains in a technical rescue vehicle loaded with gear that includes a stokes basket, big wheel and belay and safety line kits.

They also take backpacks with all the medical equipment found on a fire truck. The packs weigh about 33 pounds each and have drugs, heart monitors, IV equipment and splints.

“It’s a very sneaky 33-34 [pounds], because those backpacks distribute the weight extremely well,” Rand said. “So it doesn’t feel like it.”

Firefighters prepare by getting familiar with the trails, trying to acclimate to the heat and keeping constantly hydrated, because they’re just as susceptible to the elements as anyone else, Buckeye Fire Capt. Jake Blockwitz said.

“If somebody’s been hiking for an hour, it’s going to take us an hour to hike to them,” he said. “When we do go out there, we don’t want to be in the same situation they are.”

On a mountain rescue, the firefighters first assess the risk profile — the distance to the patients, time it will take to reach them, how bad their injuries are and the weather. It takes 12 to 15 firefighters to carry a patient out using a stokes basket, Rand said.

“It does take its toll on the rescuers, because there are some spots on the west side with a bunch of switchbacks,” he said. “If it’s 115 degrees and I’m sending four guys up there pulling the big wheel, how much risk am I putting on these guys?”

For the worst-case scenarios, they have another option available.

The Buckeye Fire Department is one of only three in the Valley that was selected to have firefighters trained to perform rescues using a helicopter operated by the Phoenix Police Department.

“We try to make it efficient and safe for the patient and for us, so when we use the helicopter, it’s because we’re usually on a spectrum where it is a little more serious and time to get a patient out,” said Burnett, who is part of the ARTs team along with Blockwitz.

Almost half of the rescues so far this year at Skyline have required use of the helicopter, which is primarily used for law enforcement purposes, Rand said.

“For us to say we’re pulling that out of the system, we’ve got to make sure our guys are making the right call, and so far, we’ve made the right call on all of them,” he said.

Hikers who have to be rescued off a mountain with the helicopter are not charged for it, Rand said.

“Really, for the West Valley, we’re getting almost like a $10 million piece of equipment for free, because they don’t charge anything to come out,” he said. “It’s a really nice resource that we have.”

Hiking smart Skyline Regional Park averages about 700 vehicles per day on weekends during cooler months and 350 vehicles a day during the week, said Robert Wisener, Buckeye’s conservation and project manager.

Now that it’s hotter, about 200 to 250 vehicles have still been counted per day on the weekends and 150 to 200 vehicles on weekdays, he said.

The park has joined others around the state in an effort to warn hikers about the extreme heat by posting advisories at the trailheads and on its website, Wisener said.

“Please use extra caution and use trails at dawn or dusk when there is more shade and less intense heat,” the advisory states. “During the day, full sun temperatures can be more than 20 degrees warmer than official shade temperature, making it dangerous for trail users. Even if you are hydrated, you can still suffer from heat-related illness.”

It also notes that trail difficulty ratings increase by one level when temperatures are above 90 degrees, so those rated easy become moderate and moderate becomes difficult.

Hikers planning to hit the trails should start preparing early by hydrating the day before, Rand said.

“Hydrating doesn’t mean drinking iced tea, soda, coffee and energy drinks — all the diuretics that are out there,” he said. “Those are the things that are just really destroying people when they get on the mountain, because then they go, ‘Now I’m going to drink water,’ and they’re so far behind in the process.”

People should also take plenty of water on their hikes, wear sunscreen and a hat, go in pairs and let someone know where they’ll be hiking and when they expect to return.

“Once you’re at half your water supply, you should be coming back,” Rand said.

When hiking a new trail, people should break it up by only going part of the way the first time so they don’t reach overexertion, he said. The next time, they can go a little farther as they become more familiar with the trail.

Signs hikers might be in trouble include clammy skin, weakness, blurry vision, cramps, fatigue, dizziness, dragging their feet, tripping and headaches, Burnett said.

“Sometimes, we don’t always know what’s wrong, but we don’t feel right,” he said. “Listen to your body; it’s telling you, ‘Hey, wait a minute.’”

“That’s when we’d rather people just go ahead and call 911, because if they try and stick it out and come down, that’s when they make it way more difficult,” Rand said.

Even though people might be putting themselves and rescuers at risk by hiking in the extreme heat, Burnett said he isn’t in favor of having a “Stupid hiker law” similar to the “Stupid motorist law,” where people who drive into a flooded wash have to pay for their rescue.

“The problem with that is then people have the mindset that they don’t want to get charged with that, so they’re going to push themselves a little further,” he said.

“We want people to enjoy the amenities — Skyline Park is an amazing place. It really is a great park to run in and hike, but you’ve got to be prepared.”

Tigers ready to turn experience into success Millennium baseball 26-8 during summer

by Shane McOwen sports writer

View photo by Ray Thomas

Millennium baseball has been a model of consistency in the West Valley. The Tigers are usually frequent participants in the playoffs, and often have players continue in college and beyond.

However, last season was an anomaly.

A perfect storm of difficult circumstances saw the Tigers finishing 10-17, ranked No. 29 out of 30 in the powerhouse Division I conference.

The young and inexperienced Tigers had a difficult time navigating one of the toughest sections in baseball, featuring state runner-up Glendale BASEBALL Mountain Ridge and semifinalist Phoenix Sandra Day O’Connor.

Millennium gained valuable experience, however, and is ready to use it under a new conference and region alignment next season.

“It was a tough section to have a young club,” Millennium coach Ryan Bethel said. “But on the bright side, we have a returning core that’s phenomenal.”

The entire program has already put some of that experience to good use. The Tigers fielded three teams in summer play, going a combined 26-8 between the A, B and C teams, Bethel said.

“It’s been a really good summer; really proud of those guys,” he said.

Bethel said he was more hands-off this offseason, overlooking the whole program while his assistant coaches managed the teams. Former Youngker assistant Darrell Hatfield coached the varsity squad, while JV coach Seth Nash and incoming freshman coach Jason Wall each had underclassman teams.

“Coach Hatfield did an amazing job at Youngker, and that’s why I wanted to get him over and be a part of our program,” Bethel said. “It was all Coach Hatfield and the rest of my staff, they did a great job. They ran the show and I couldn’t be prouder of the way they ran things.”

The Tigers ended up relying heavily on underclassman contributions last season.

In 2016, sophomore Logan McDonald, .375 batting average, freshman David Enriquez, .392 average, and freshman Alex Figueroa, .288 average, all performed well for Millennium.

DAVID ENRIQUEZ of Millennium watches the ball off his bat in a game last season. Enriquez and the Tigers had a successful summer of action, winning 26 games.

… and then the whole world hates you?

by Casey Pritchard sports editor

Kevin Durant has been getting some serious heat since making his decision to join the Golden State Warriors. I understand some of it, but the reasons people are throwing around totally contradict what’s generally believed: It’s all about the rings.

Durant has been painted as “weak” for joining a team that is already great, and that he’s “cheating” to get a ring instead of doing it by himself. Guess what, he tried Casey Pritchard that already and it hasn’t worked.

Sure, he could stay in Oklahoma City and maybe they don’t blow a 3-1 series lead next time, but maybe they do.

Or, maybe they don’t even get to that point again. It’s all an unknown, and it’s certainly unknown whether or not the Warriors will actually win the 2017 NBA Finals. Obviously, this team looks ridiculous on paper, but as we all know, the game is not played that way.

But here’s the thing that’s bothering me most: Durant is being crushed for wanting rings, but when all is said and done, isn’t that the way we evaluate athletes?

Before last NFL season, Peyton Manning was always ridiculed for only having won one Super Bowl. The debate lingered over how he could be the greatest NFL quarterback of all time when he didn’t have as many — key word — rings, as someone like Tom Brady or Joe Montana; or better yet, his own brother, Eli, who is half the quarterback Peyton is.

Do we consider Dan Marino a lesser quarterback because he never won a championship? Maybe not, but people will always point out that he never won the big one when discussing the greats. Kevin Durant has every right to chase a ring with a team he perceives to have a better chance than the one he was on.

Charles Barkley was highly critical of Durant for changing teams to try to get a ring, but Barkley needs to look at himself in the mirror. In 1996, Barkley went to the Houston Rockets, who had recently won two NBA championships: 1994 and 1995. He joined a pair of all-time greats in

Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler.

Were you really not chasing a championship, Chuck?

In addition, Barkley gets teased by his NBA on TNT co-hosts Kenny Smith and Shaquille O’Neal, both of whom have rings, for the fact that Barkley doesn’t.

Teasing or not, you’ve got to think that rubs him the wrong way.

Every job has a bottom line, and in sports, rings are the bottom line. The unfortunate circumstance is that only a small percentage of people actually reach that bottom line, no matter how good you are. So many things have to go right to achieve a championship that it’s hard to do it all by yourself.

Look at the Cleveland Cavaliers from this year and last year. Lebron James didn’t have Kyrie Irving or Kevin Love in last year’s NBA Finals and the Cavs lost.

Both were back this season and Cleveland claimed the title. Despite Love’s mostly lackluster play in the Finals, you take Irving off that team and there’s not a chance they beat the Warriors.

Speaking of James, he did nearly the same thing in 2010 as Durant just did, but in defending their criticism of Durant, critics are trying to say it’s different.

James left Cleveland and formed a big three with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. Maybe he didn’t join an already good team like Durant did, but it was a planned endeavor and James made it a spectacle by announcing his decision on national television. On top of that, James went on to proclaim he would win “not five, not six, not seven” in referring to championships.

Durant has not been anywhere near as boisterous. In fact, he made his decision known in The Players’ Tribune by simply saying, “I have decided that I am going to join the Golden State Warriors.” There wasn’t anything about taking his talents to the Bay Area.

Durant made a decision to join a better team. He has supreme skills and should be able to play wherever he wants. I think the criticism he’s taking is unfair, but then again, that comes with being a superstar.

People are going to be critical of him, and many will root against him. Fortunately for Durant, critics can hate him while they stare at his soon-to-be jewelry-filled hands.

In case the Fourth of July fireworks weren’t enough, the National Basketball Association has everyone covered. The NBA’s free agency period has been a storm of bright lights and loud explosions from the get-go.

The most impressive firework is no doubt Kevin Durant’s decision to leave the Oklahoma City Thunder to join the Golden State Warriors.

Predictably, people are upset with the star for “abandoning” the Thunder and “taking the easy way out” en route to a potential championship. Sports are a passionate minefield, and those sentiments will always be there, no matter how ridiculous.

The other thing that has people worried (and this one holds more ground), is the fear of a never-ending cycle of “super teams” popping up and making the NBA terribly predictable.

It’s time to squash those fears. While stars will join forces in the future, this particular scenario will never happen again.

When Durant joined the Warriors, he wasn’t just a player signing with a significantly better team, such as when LaMarcus Aldridge went to the San Antonio Spurs last season. This is Durant, the 2015 MVP, joining forces with a team who has the 2016 MVP, Stephen Curry.

Two guys who can drop 40 points at the drop of a hat. We’ve never seen the, arguably, second-best player in the league sign with a team coming off a season when it won the most regular season games in history. You’d have been called crazy suggesting it even two or three months ago.

When the Miami Heat became the Big Three with LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, it took two entire seasons for the trio to mesh together and become champions. The Warriors were already one of the best offenses in NBA history, and have now replaced Harrison Barnes with an all-time great. The Warriors could score 150 points in a game next season.

The caliber of players involved with this union makes it unlikely to ever happen again. The circumstance that took place that allowed the Warriors to be able to afford Durant without sacrificing a piece of their all-star core will for sure never happen again.

Everything had to be perfect, and it was.

The salary cap took a significant jump, from $70 million to $94 million, thanks to the new TV deal kicking in. That type of jump has never been seen before. The extra space, coupled with the fact that none of Golden State’s all-stars was on a contract year, made it possible to land Durant.

Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green now all have bargain

deals in comparison to the new cap ceiling, making it the equivalent of the three taking less money, without actually having to, to make room for Durant.

If the cap doesn’t rise, there’s no way Durant is walking through that door. They already had to lose their starting center and small forward to make it happen. Any more pieces and it probably doesn’t make it worth it for either side. Don’t be mad at the Warriors, or Durant, for taking advantage of the situation. Blame the NBA Players Association for rejecting a proposed smooth-cap increase over a few years rather than an immediate hike in one offseason.

Some of it couldn’t have been planned for, but just happened to work out. Things such as Curry’s megavalue contract, signed years ago because of injury issues, helped create this monster.

Not only did the finances have to line up, but the playing conditions had to line up as well. If Oklahoma City doesn’t flame out against the Shane McOwen Warriors, blowing a 3-1 lead in the Western Conference Finals, Durant probably stays with the Thunder. If the Warriors don’t blow their own 3-1 lead in the Finals against Cleveland, it’s probably too hard for Durant to justify hopping on the championship gravy train, and he stays with OKC or takes his talents to another team.

Even with the planets aligning, Golden State might only have one season with the current rendition of its lineup. It’s already been reported that next year’s cap increase will be less than originally thought, $102 million instead of $108 million. The $6 million might be small potatoes in comparison to a tenth of a billion, it’s still enough to cause some headaches for the Warriors next season.

Durant signed a two-year contract, meaning the Warriors won’t have his Bird Rights, a measure that allows teams to go over the salary cap to resign players.

Durant’s contract will have to be worked out with the team coming under the cap, which could lead to sacrifices across the rest of the roster. An important piece, say Andre Iguodala, might have to take a contract well below market value to stay with the Warriors, or find a new team.

The NBA had a lockout at the beginning of the 2011 season, due in large part because LeBron and Bosh joined Wade in Miami. I wouldn’t put it past the owners to do the same in the next few years, and try to get rules in place to keep this type of scenario from happening again.

Until then, I’m going to enjoy the best offense in NBA history. It might be the last time we’ll ever see something like this.

NEEDS YOUR HELP to provide 2 new uniforms for 350 children in the Avondale, Tolleson and Littleton Elementary/Middle School Districts

ALEX FIGUEROA of Millennium tracks the ball off the bat in an April 22 game at Goodyear Ballpark.

Figueroa and the Tigers went 26-8 during summer competition.

Success (From Page 12) “It’s not like we were playing freshmen in a weak conference,” Bethel said. “We were in the best section in the state, and these kids put up those numbers. I’m really proud of them and am looking forward to [their futures], too. We knew we were going to face some adversity, and we did, but I just think about how good the young guys are going to be for going through that.”

Michael Sears, who pitched for Team Arizona in the McAlester Junior Sunbelt Classic in Oklahoma this summer, is expected to be the ace of the staff once the regular season rolls around in 2017. Sears has a 2.76 ERA in 45.2 innings pitched during his junior season in 2016.

“If you go off the numbers he had in the summer, he’s the guy we hand the ball to,” Bethel said. “Things can change by the first day of tryouts, but he’s the guy who’ll lead our staff. He’s a senior, so we’re counting on him to be a leader and to keep us in games.

“If he keeps maturing like he did, I’d put him up there with some of the guys we had who’ve done a good job in college baseball. He’s got a fantastic future ahead of him.”

Millennium will again be in the top conference in the Arizona Interscholastic Association, 6A, but this time, it will have a few closer neighbors to compete with. The Tigers will be in the Southwest Region for all sports, along with La Joya, Tolleson, Westview, Glendale Copper Canyon and Surprise Valley Vista. Only Millennium and Valley Vista were in the top division last season.

“They’re more our size of schools,” Bethel said. “We’ll compete. Give us another year or two, and [I like our chances] to win the thing.”

“The focus of the summer was primarily through team cohesiveness. sports writer

“It was less about fitness and more around technique, small skills and the why behind the things we do,” Bower said. “We would start with basic passing drills, move on to a combination drill that would show up in the context of a game, [like] midfielders combining with the forwards to then go in on goal.

Then, we would end with 15 minutes of playing.”

Bower was pleased with the initial participation and that it was a productive session, he said.

“Our numbers this summer were pretty low, but this was the first time we, as a program, have set up strategic sessions over the summer,” Bower said.

“With that in mind, I’m happy with the turnout and expect each year to grow in numbers.”

The Knights held their last organized session June 29, but Bower expects the players to continue individual workouts throughout July and August before the team meets up again for preseason work once school begins.

“July is set for the guys to run and play on their own and enjoy their vacation,” Bower said. “We will

Kole Calhoun continues to flourish despite Angels’ struggles

Sammy Solis has small hiccup, but still putting up good numbers for Nationals

Kole Calhoun, a 2006 graduate of Buckeye Union High School, wrapped up a strong first half of the season for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Sunday by going 1 for 2 with two walks and two runs scored against the Baltimore Orioles in the final game before the all-star break. Calhoun has at least one hit in 10 straight games, and 15 of the last 16.

He’s batting .288 with a .362 on-base percentage. Both figures, were they to hold, would be career highs for the left-handed right fielder.

Calhoun also has 10 homers, 15 doubles, three triples and 47 RBI. Additionally, he’s scored 55 runs, which is tied for 16th in the American League.

The Angels are currently 37-52 and in last place in the American League West division, 13 games behind the Texas Rangers.

Sammy Solis, a 2007 graduate of Agua Fria High School, struggled a bit in his last three appearances before the all-star break, but is still having a strong season for the Washington Nationals. Solis allowed four earned runs and retired just three batters in his last three appearances, giving up six hits and four walks without a strikeout.

Despite the rough stretch, Solis still finished the first half of the season with a 2.43 ERA and 34 strikeouts in 29.2 innings. Solis has allowed 20 hits, including just one home run, and walked 16 batters.

The Nationals are in first place in the National League West, six games ahead of both the New York Mets and Miami Marlins. Washington’s 54-36 record is the third best winning percentage in all of baseball.

start up again probably toward the end of August, but those sessions will look much different due to [Arizona Interscholastic Association] regulations.”

Westview had eight seniors on the roster last season, but wasn’t top heavy with upperclassmen. The Knights will return five juniors, four sophomores and four freshmen to the 2016-17 squad.

Bower expects the young guys to step up and take on important roles this season, he said.

“We only started two juniors last year and [three] got substantial time off of the bench,” Bower said. “We will be heavily focused around our younger core. As far as standouts go, it’s hard to tell right now, but I am looking forward to the fall where guys will put in some great work.”

Westview will begin the 2016-17 season Nov. 29 in the Bulldog Invitational Tournament at Shadow Ridge High School in Surprise.

Aaron Altherr on road back to major leagues Aaron Altherr, a 2009 graduate of Agua Fria High School, began a rehab assignment last week on his road back to joining the Philadelphia Phillies.

Altherr, who injured his wrist during spring training, has not played all season after being slated to start in the outfield for the Phillies on opening day.

In his first three games for the Gulf Coast League Phillies in Clearwater, Fla., Altherr has two hits, a home run and double, in six at-bats. He’s also walked twice, driven home two runs and scored two.

Last season, Altherr broke through with the Phillies by hitting .241 in 39 games. Of his 33 hits, 20 went for extra bases. He smashed five homers to go along with four triples and 11 doubles. Altherr also stole six bases, scored 25 runs and had 22 RBI. The timetable on Altherr’s recovery was put at four to six months.

(From Page 11) United and boost its record to 4-6-5. In the five games, he’s made 15 saves and allowed six goals.

“It’s pretty crazy jumping in as a rookie in goal, but you just got to take what you can get and help your team as much as you can,” Stagmiller said.

Arizona United coach Frank Yallop has been very happy with Stagmiller’s performances, he said.

“He got sort of thrown into the mix when Carl got injured, and I think he’s done very well,” Yallop said. “It’s never easy for a young goalkeeper to come in and do what he’s done.”

Yallop also said he likes how well Stagmiller reads the game.

“I think he’s got good distribution, good strike of the ball kicking wise,” Yallop said. “Positionally, he’s usually in a pretty good spot, so he’s got a good all around game, that needs more experience, obviously, to get better and better, but I like what I’ve seen so far.”

Woszczynski returned to goal July 9 when Arizona United hosted Swope Park Rangers. The game ended in a 1-1 draw.

Path to Arizona United Stagmiller grew up in Maryvale, but moved to Avondale when he was a sophomore in high school. He attended Phoenix North Canyon and also played at Sereno North, a club team based in the East Valley. He got a scholarship to attend St. Johns and loved the school, he said.

“I learned a lot of stuff,” Stagmiller said. “Living in a big city like that is pretty cool. I got to see where my dad grew up and my grandparents, they’re from Long Island, and I got to learn New York City, which was unbelievable.”

Stagmiller played only one game through his sophomore year at St. Johns, but played in 33 games combined his junior and senior seasons. As a senior, he posted a .759 save percentage and 1.33 goals against average.

“It was a good experience playing under [coach Dave] Masur, I had a couple great teammates: Timmy Parker plays for Vancouver [Whitecaps], Jimmy [Mulligan] plays on Swope Park,” Stagmiller said. “It’s a good program and I’d love to go back and give back when I can.”

After finishing his career at St. Johns last year, Stagmiller said he got lucky to obtain the opportunity he now has. “[Assistant coach] Cory [Robertson] played at my club and kind of knew me from being around, being from Arizona, kind of got my name around a little bit,” Stagmiller said. “He was able to talk

“We had an unlucky result in Tulsa [3-2 loss July 1], but we’ll try to move on from that and keep getting points for the team and hope to make the playoffs,” Stagmiller said.

Stagmiller lives with his father in Avondale and said he likes the area because everything is a little newer.

“They’ve got the soccer complex out there, Friendship Park, so there’s a lot to do, a lot of open space and time to go out with the dogs, hang out with the family,” Stagmiller said. “I like being in new areas.”

Stagmiller’s goal for the season is to see Arizona United make the playoffs, regardless of who’s starting in goal.

After that, he wants to continue playing professionally.

“I’d like to get that [playoffs] experience, keep training hard and hope to get another contract here, or somewhere else,” he said.

(From Page 11) derailed the success was tightness in his arm, removing him from a start against Oklahoma State with two outs in the third inning. An MRI revealed the injury is not serious, and Bannister doesn’t expect to be sidelined once his professional career gets under way.

“It was something that’s happened before,” Bannister said. “I was just being more cautious with it, that’s pretty much where it’s at.”

Without Bannister, the Wildcats’ season ended on a sour note, losing the championship series to Coastal Carolina, two games to one. Despite the final shortcoming, the season was a wild success for the Wildcats. Arizona was predicted to finish ninth out of 11 teams in the conference in the preseason.

“Going back to the fall, no one really counted on us doing anything this year with the new coaching staff,” Bannister said. “It was really rewarding in the end to know the amount of work, what we went through from the fall all the way to June 30, paid off. I just know it was extra special for our senior class, especially not making the postseason the last three years, and then making an Omaha run this year. It was exciting and enjoyable.”

Jay Johnson, the first-year coach at Arizona, said Bannister ranks up there with some of the best pitchers he’s ever coached.

“You can’t get past reason Nos. 1, 2 or 3 of why we played for the National Championship without pointing to him,” Johnson said. “He was as sure of an ace, clutch, big-time pitcher as you possibly could get.

“He’s a hall of fame person. For everything he did on the field, he meant as much off it.”

Bannister and the other seniors put pressure on themselves when the season started, knowing they would have to set the example if the team wanted to accomplish anything special during the season, he said.

“I tried to do the best I could for my team,” Bannister said.

“Usually when you have older players, the team needs them to produce. It was my time, and the senior class’ time to step up for the program. The whole class did a good job.”

Bannister credited Dave Lawn, the team’s pitching coach, for helping him reach another level with his performance.

“Meeting him from day one and learning his philosophy on pitching and the work [we] put in each day, it really just connected well,” Bannister said.

College World Series, draft

Photo by Stan Liu of Arizona Athletics

NATHAN BANNISTER rears back to throw a pitch this season for the University of Arizona. Bannister, who played Little League in Avondale, had a tremendous season for the Wildcats, going 12-2 with a 2.59 ERA. In the postseason, Bannister posted a 1.59 ERA with 25 strikeouts in 22.2 innings, helping Arizona to the College World Series championship game.

Omaha is the pinnacle of the college baseball world, and experiences there are not easily forgotten. Bannister said it was a chance of a lifetime to compete on the big stage of the College World Series.

“It was a blast knowing you’re one of the last two teams playing for a trophy,” Bannister said. “That’s what you dream of as a little kid watching on TV. Just to have the opportunity to play in Omaha for that chance, it’s really gratifying.”

The bells and whistles of the experience died down once the players took the field, Bannister said.

“Once first pitch goes, it’s really just another game, to be honest,” he said. “The crowd is really into it. They just want to see good baseball, they’re not really rooting for a particular side. Just taking that in was really special and something I’ll remember forever.”

Bannister was selected by the Seattle Mariners in the 28th round of the June 9 MLB draft. He hopes to sign and report to the club by the draft pick signing deadline, July 15.

“It’s in the starting process right now,” he said. “I’ve been down to the complex a couple of times. We’re just taking it day by day. Hopefully, I’ll sign here soon and get the ball rolling.

“That’s really the next step, and I’m just going to continue to play as long as I can. If it doesn’t work out, I’ve got a degree from Arizona that I can go find a job with.”

The West Valley View publishes on Wednesday.

The 9 Days a Week calendar — a listing of entertainment events such as concerts, theatrical performances, events for schools, churches, county parks and nonprofit groups — runs every issue.

Events must be open to the public to be considered and generally must be held within the View’s coverage area, which is south of Northern Avenue, west of Loop 101, plus all of Tolleson, extends to Estrella on the south and Tonopah on the west.

Events such as concerts and theatrical performances that fall outside of the View’s circulation area will be considered as there are no concert halls or theater venues within our boundaries.

Fundraisers that are held at restaurants where only a portion of the proceeds benefits the charity or nonprofit will not be considered.

9 Days a Week calendar items print on a spaceavailable basis; the only way to guarantee that an item will print is to purchase an advertisement.

The 9 Days a Week calendar now may contain paid listings which are clearly marked by “Advertisement” across the top and bottom of paid listings and appear in a screened box. Submissions for paid items may be made by calling the classified advertising dept. of the West Valley View at 623-535-8439. Available sizes and prices: 2 inch ad = $80.00, 3 inch ad = $120.00.

Douglas Shaun Hardesty, of Buckeye, Arizona died unexpectedly in an automobile accident on July 3rd, 2016.

He was 38 years old.

Shaun is survived by his wife, Allison Mantell Hardesty; daughters, Brooke (16), Lauren (4) and Hannah (11mo) and son, Andrew (14). He is also survived by his mother and step-father Dovie and Vince Imbordino; sisters, Dawne Hardesty Franklin and Chastain Pohl Chamberlain; brother, Chase Hardesty; nieces, Ella and Lily Franklin; grandmothers, Mary Hardesty and Ann Malone as well as countless Aunts, Uncles and cousins. Shaun is preceded in death by his father; Doug Hardesty and grandfathers; Frank Hardesty, Jr. and Gordon M. LeBlanc, Sr. Shaun was born on September 12th, 1977 in Shreveport, Louisiana to Doug Hardesty and Dovie Imbordino. He attended Loyola College Prep in Shreveport and continued his education at the University of Alabama, much to the dismay of his entire family who are all LSU fans. Shaun began his career in law enforcement as a Sheriff ’s Deputy with the Maricopa County Sheriff ’s Department before transferring to the Glendale Police department where he served honorably for over 15 years until the time of his death.

Shaun was an avid hunter, but a terrible shot. He was color-blind, but covered in multi-colored tattoos. He loved Jesus, but worshiped Nick Saban. He was a giant man, with the tender heart of a little boy.

If you knew Shaun, you loved him and you knew he loved you right back with a full heart and open arms. He never missed an opportunity to make you laugh, even without saying a word, often at incredibly inappropriate moments.

When he spoke, it was with an unforgettable baritone voice that somehow made his jokes and goofy noises even funnier.

His habit of dishing out big bear hugs to everyone, especially to those who hated to be hugged, will be sorely missed. He gave of himself freely, never one to overlook a friend in need. No matter what. No matter when.

Shaun will be remembered most for his love of family, especially his love for his wife and children. He loved his family more than anything. Shaun talked endlessly about how proud he was of his children and worked tirelessly to support them with all of his being. Of all the gifts Shaun gave to the world, the indomitable spirit he passed on to his children is the greatest.

A memorial service is scheduled for Friday, July 15th, 2016, at Palm Valley Church, 431 N Litchfield Rd, Goodyear, AZ 85338, AZ. Visitation begins at 9:00 a.m. with services to follow at 10:00 a.m. All are welcome to attend in celebration of Shaun’s life. Donations to benefit the Hardesty family can be made at https://www.gofundme.com/2cutxwk.
