It’s been 22 years since Tolleson had a new mayor, but voters in the Aug. 30 election decided it’s time for a change of leadership.

Anna Tovar, a former Tolleson city councilwoman and state legislator, challenged current Mayor Adolfo

Gámez for the top seat and won 452 votes to 368, according to results from the Maricopa County Elections Department.

Malone, Pineda, Dennis prepare to take office on Avondale City Council; Home Rule passes

by Glenn Gullickson staff writer

Avondale voters have elected three new members to the City Council, but who will lead the city as mayor will not be determined until a November runoff election.

Mayor Kenneth Weise appeared to fall just short of obtaining the majority necessary to win the office in a threeway race on Aug. 30.

Pending final results, Weise would face Vice Mayor Stephanie Karlin in the runoff on Nov. 8.

Eliminated from the contest was Frank Scott, Kenneth Weise a former councilman and vice mayor.

In a five-way race for three open seats for City Council, Veronica Malone was the top vote-getter, followed

by Mike Pineda and Pat Dennis.

They achieved the vote threshold necessary to avoid a runoff and defeated Devin Del Palacio and Manny Murillo.

Stephanie Their four-year terms Karlin begin in January.

Weise, 50, who has been on the council since 2006 and was appointed mayor in 2014, collected 2,932 votes, and was a quarter of a percentage point from the majority necessary to be elected to office, according to results that have yet to be certified.

Karlin, 62, a 12-year veteran of the council, trailed by more than 1,300 votes with a little more than a quarter of the votes cast.

In separate telephone interviews, both Weise and Karlin said a runoff in November — on the same ballot as presidential candidates, the high-profile county sheriff’s contest and a state measure seeking approval of recreational marijuana — will draw a bigger turnout than the August election, with the potential of resetting the race.

But Weise said his August vote total “bodes well” for a victory in November and Karlin acknowledged that he has the advantage.

“My biggest fear is that the mayor’s election is down on the ballot and we’re going to get lost on the bottom,” Weise said.

Weise said he’d been prepared for a runoff and was surprised that he was more than 20 percentage points in front of his opponents.

“It’s almost impossible to win in a three candidate race,” he said.

He speculated that the campaign drew competitors who thought he may have been vulnerable after being appointed to fill the (See Runoff on Page 3)

Buckeye’s District 1 race heads to runoff Meck, Hess re-elected to another term; newcomer Guy wins District 2 seat

by Emily Toepfer

“It’s just going to be a time to come together and unite for the sake of the city,” she said.

All election results are considered unofficial until the votes are canvassed by Maricopa County election officials.

The following are results from the Maricopa County Elections Department:

It was no contest in the election for Litchfield Park City Council, with three candidates on the ballot elected to three seats.

The vote Ann Donahue on Aug. 30 made official the election of newcomer Ann Donahue and re-election of Peter Mahoney to his fifth term on the council and John Romack to his third term.

Even though there wasn’t competition for John Romack the council seats, there was an impressive turnout of more than 1,100 voters who cast ballots for the offices in the city of 5,000 residents, a turnout

perhaps pushed by competitive races for the area’s legislative district.

When Donahue joins the council in January, she will replace Councilman Paul Stucky, who is leaving after three terms on the council.

Peter Mahoney Holdover council members are Mayor Tom Schoaf, Vice Mayor Paul Faith and Councilmen Tim Blake and Jeff Raible.

Donahue, 57, retired from the Litchfield Elementary School District earlier this year.

Mahoney, 56, operates restaurants in Litchfield Park.

Romack, 71, is a general contractor.

The Maricopa County Elections Department provided these unofficial vote totals: • Ann Donahue — 1,130 votes • Peter Mahoney — 1,064votes • John Romack — 1,045 votes Glenn Gullickson can be reached at ggullickson@westvalleyview.com.

Representatives in District 13. She was then elected in 2012 to serve as a state senator for District 19.

She said the top issues facing Tolleson are improving neighborhoods, transparency and bringing new jobs and better opportunities to the city.

Tovar did not return calls for comment by press time.

GĂĄmez, 60, has been on the City Council for 35 years, 22 of them as mayor, and has run unopposed in most elections.

He’s led Tolleson through numerous challenges, including fighting to keep the South Mountain Freeway from dividing the city. “That was probably the most important issue we’ve had in terms of our future, and we were Lupe successful in fighting that,�

GĂĄmez said.

Leyva Bandin In his last few months on the council, one thing he’d like to get accomplished is naming a baseball diamond at Veterans Park after a Little League team that won the state championship in 1961, GĂĄmez said. “To acknowledge them and their accomplishments, because our town is a little sports town,â€? he said. “I think a lot of people don’t realize that we had a state championship team in 1961, and a lot of those people went on to Albert Mendoza become professional teachers and lawyers, and I think that helped them in life. It’s something we need to celebrate.â€?

Once his term is up in January, GĂĄmez plans to take a step back from the city and enjoy retirement. “I think I’m done with public office,â€? he said. “It’s too early to even speculate what I’m going to do. All I know is I’m going to spend a lot more time with my family and a lot more quality time with my wife and see what happens.â€?

Council seats Tolleson also had seven candidates vying for three open City Council seats. Incumbents Albert Mendoza and Lupe Leyva Bandin were able to retain their spots with 420 votes and 404 votes, respectively.

Mendoza, 68, a retired barbershop owner, was first elected to the council in 2007. Leyva Bandin, 57, a part-time accounting clerk for the Tolleson Elementary District, was appointed in 2014 to fill a seat left vacant when Diego Espinoza resigned to run for the Arizona House of Representatives. “I was overwhelmed by the whole thing, and very, very happy with my constituents,� Mendoza said. “They told me, but you never know.�

He plans to continue pursuing new retail opportunities, including a grocery store and pharmacy, in his next term, he said.

A winner for the third seat remains undecided, because no other candidate obtained the 354 votes

Home Rule measure Voters also had a Home Rule measure on their ballots to decide whether to allow Tolleson to continue to spend the revenues it collects.

Unlike the previous election in 2013 when the measure narrowly passed by two votes, it was approved by 655 ‘yes’ votes to 106 ‘no’ votes.

Without Home Rule, the Arizona Constitution limits what cities and towns can spend to an amount based on 1978-79 expenditures, with an adjustment based on inflation and population.

Tolleson figures show the 2017-18 budget would have been capped at an estimated $17.4 million if the measure had failed, far less than the $61.9 million the city expects to collect.

Approval of the measure does not increase taxes.

Buckeye Union High School District’s superintendent apologized to sophomore Mariah Havard, 15, and her mother Aug. 31, two days after a group of students walked out of class protesting the right to wear Black Lives Matter T-shirts.

Superintendent Eric Godfrey sent a letter to Mariah and her mother, Roxanne Havard, apologizing for the original incident when Mariah was asked to change her Black Lives Matter T-shirt because of its disruption in the classroom, Mariah said. “First, I want to apologize for any embarrassment or uncomfortableness regarding the District’s attempted enforcement of the school dress code policy,� Godfrey said.

The school announced on its website directly after the group walked out of class that the incident will be used as a learning experience and Godfrey highlighted that in his letter. “Sometimes there are important messages, such as ‘Black Lives Matter,’ that represent both emotional and complicated issues that, without proper understanding and context, create misunderstanding, division and disruption,� Godfrey said.

As superintendent, Godfrey said he feels it is his obligation to provide a moral teaching moment for all students by seeking assistance and advice from various organizations to provide dignity and respect for all students. “Student reaction to your T-shirt and the disruption that resulted brought to light the importance of the Buckeye Union High School District instituting faculty and student programs in order to create opportunities for discussion, education and understanding of the cultural and racial differences within our community and school district and the need for tolerance,� Godfrey said.

The district will review its current dress code policy as a result, and will create a student body dialogue to make revisions, Godfrey said. “The school district walks a fine line between its responsibility to maintain an environment conducive to learning and to acknowledge student freedom of expression and speech. I am hopeful that engaging the student body in this dialogue may result in a policy, which is more readily understood by all,� Godfrey said.

required to win.

Typically, the candidates in third and fourth place would then face off in the general election, which will be Nov. 8, but the candidates in fourth and fifth place are tied.

Incumbent Kathie Farr and newcomer Donnie Gerhart each got 321 votes.

Farr, 65, was elected to the council in 1999 and is a retired office manager for Manheim Auctions. Gerhart, 39, is a manufacturing supervisor for Wasserstrom Manufacturing.

There will be a draw to determine which candidate advances to the runoff, said Crystal Zamora, Tolleson city clerk.

Newcomer John Carnero, 66, who is a neighborhood revitalization coordinator for Glendale and got 340 votes, will face either Farr or Gerhart in the runoff.

Newcomers Ralph Grijalva and Herb Graham were eliminated from the race.

All election results are considered unofficial until the votes are canvassed by Maricopa County election officials.

The following are results from the Maricopa County Elections Department:

4 West Valley View, Avondale, Arizona, Wednesday, September 7, 2016

Runoff (From Page 1) unexpired term of Marie Lopez Rogers just two years ago.

Karlin said Weise benefited from being the incumbent, which gave him visibility and made it easier to raise money.

She credited Weise with running a good campaign.

“He did an excellent job of being able to raise funds and get out there and promote himself,” she said. “Money and media are very important.”

She said the election results showed “people are comfortable with the status quo.”

Weise said a low voter turnout could indicate that residents are satisfied with how the city is being run.

Veronica With a limited budget, Karlin Malone said her campaign centered on knocking on almost 2,300 doors to meet voters.

“I was out there,” she said.

“I’ve been doing this pretty much grassroots with friends, neighbors and people who believe in me.”

Facing two more months of campaigning for the runoff, Karlin said she will reorganize and work on fundraising.

Weise said his campaign hit about 1,800 homes in Avondale before the election.

Daniel Pineda Weise said he would like to debate Karlin two or three times before the November election, but Karlin said she wasn’t interested.

“What would be the point?” she said, indicating that voters are already aware of the differences between the candidates.

“We have different leadership styles, we have different visions,” she said. “We’re apples and oranges.”

Weise said a runoff campaign Pat Dennis would highlight the differences in the candidates’ political philosophies.

“The biggest issue is the need to bring in more quality employers to turn around the lack of housing getting built,” said Weise, who is corporate sales manager at the Wigwam in Litchfield Park.

Development will bring the city higher paying jobs and greater state-shared revenues, creating funds for street and park projects, he said.

Karlin said she is “not all about just business,” pointing to her efforts to establish a local cultural center.

She said she would like to work to make the city known as being creative.

“I see the possibilities,” she said.

Without her on the council, she fears those efforts will go by the wayside.

Karlin said she is involved with many nonprofit organizations, work that will continue if she is no longer on the council.

Weise said he looked forward to the possibility of working with three new council members.

“I think it’s going to be a fun council,” he said, adding the new members are “young and hungry and have new ideas.”

New City Council members The newly elected City Council members credited their victories to their networks of friends and associates.

Malone, 42, a special project data technician for the Littleton Elementary School District, said after living in Avondale for more than 30 years she’s familiar to a lot of residents.

“They probably recognized my name,” she said.

She has worked with school groups and was involved in the effort to establish Las Ligas Park several years ago.

For the campaign, she said she handed out 1,400 fliers, did Facebook postings and engaged people she met.

Pineda, 41, a small business analyst for Maricopa Community Colleges and member of the Littleton Elementary School Board, said his reputation is built on living in Avondale for 14 years and before that, attending schools in Avondale when he lived in Goodyear.

He said he ran an “organic” campaign.

“I just talked to people,” he said. “It really shows it doesn’t take money to win an election.”

Dennis, 59, is a more recent Avondale resident, living in the city six years, but she’s an old hand at politics and government, serving on the Peoria City Council for 12 years.

Dennis, who is retired, said she built her Avondale network by serving as a member of the city’s Parks and Recreation and Libraries Board, the Arts Commission and her HOA board.

She said she campaigned by knocking on doors and sending a mailer to voters.

Dennis said she decided to run for the council after becoming involved with residents who went to the city with concerns over plans for the construction of a gas station near her neighborhood.

“We weren’t getting a listening ear” from the city, she said. “That was kind of the wake-up moment for me.”

She said she would work for better communications after learning how residents’ concerns are passed from city staff to the council.

“I really believe in being responsive to the community,” she said.

Malone said she has been doing her research by observing council meetings, but she acknowledged that she faces a learning curve.

“I’m going to soak up knowledge,” she said.

She said she will be especially interested in issues that involve education.

“Anything that has to do with children, I’m all for,” she said.

Pineda said he plans to learn how other council

members work.

“I know it’s fast paced,” he said. “It’s going to help to lean on the veterans.”

He said he will stick to a formula that’s worked for him as a school board member by seeking opinions from residents.

“I never like to make decisions alone,” he said. “I like feedback. I am here to be a voice for the resident.”

He would like to work to attract more employers to Avondale.

“There is no reason that we should have to travel downtown to find a high-paying employer,” he said.

Pineda said Avondale is at a crossroads in whether the city will be a bedroom community or an employment center.

“As a council, now is the time we kind of figure out what does Avondale want to be?” he said. “We need to make a decision as a council what direction we want to move in.”

New council members will fill seats held by Karlin and Jim McDonald, who are termed out as council members, and David Iwanski, who was appointed to the council in 2014 and did not seek election.

Winners will join council holdovers Bryan Kilgore, Sandi Nielson and Lorenzo Sierra.

The Maricopa County Elections Department provided these unofficial results:

Mayor • Kenneth Weise, incumbent — 2,932 votes (49.75 percent) • Stephanie Karlin — 1,566 (26.57 percent) • Frank Scott — 1,395 votes (23.67 percent)

Council members (3 seats) Council candidates needed at least 2,246 votes to avoid a runoff and win election.

• Veronica Malone — 2,985 votes • Daniel “Mike” Pineda — 2,945 votes • Pat Dennis — 2,860 votes • Devin Del Palacio — 2,509 votes • Manny Murillo — 2,173 votes

Home Rule By a wide margin, Avondale voters approved an extension of Home Rule authority, which needs to be renewed every four years to allow the city to exceed stateimposed spending limits.

Without Home Rule, the Arizona Constitution limits what cities and towns can spend to an amount based on 1978-79 expenditures, with an adjustment based on inflation and population.

Approval of the measure was necessary to fund existing city services and avoid cuts in programs, services and improvement projects.

Approval of the measure does not increase taxes, but allows the cities to make local spending decisions.

Avondale voters have approved Home Rule since 1981, the last time by 83 percent.

Here are the unofficial totals for the Home Rule vote.

• Yes — 4,939 votes (85.85 percent) • No — 814 votes (14.15 percent) Glenn Gullickson can be reached at ggullickson@westvalleyview.com.

A corrections officer at the Lewis Prison complex in Buckeye was taken to the hospital Aug. 31 after he was violently assaulted by two inmates, officials said.

According to Bill Lamoreaux, a spokesman with the Arizona Department of Corrections, the officer was stabbed in the neck and had a 1-inch laceration.

“The officer is resting at home and reportedly in good spirits,” he said. “He has been with the department for about three years, and is well respected.”

The inmates involved are known gang members and are serving sentences for violent crimes, Lamoreaux said.

“The [Department of Corrections] will pursue prosecution of each inmate to the fullest extent of the law,” he said.

Goodyear man accused of stealing from VFW post View report

A Goodyear man was arrested Aug. 31 for allegedly embezzling money from the accounts of a Veterans of Foreign Wars post in Avondale, officials said.

Kirk Davis, 56, is suspected of taking more than $100,000 from bank accounts in the past two years during his elected position as president of the Pat Tillman Memorial VFW Post 40, said Sgt. Mathew Hintz, a spokesman with the Avondale Police Department.

Davis was arrested by the Avondale Police Department’s Kirk Davis Criminal Investigations Bureau after an ongoing investigation and booked into the Maricopa County Fourth Avenue Jail. He faces charges of theft by embezzlement, Hintz said.

A Buckeye man was sentenced to eight months in prison earlier this year for his role in a steroid trafficking organization based out of Arizona, officials said.

Richard Forsyth, 46, was sentenced May 23 by U.S. District Judge John Tuchi after previously pleading guilty to conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute steroids, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of Arizona.

The sixth and final defendant in the case, Jose Flores, 38, of Phoenix was sentenced Aug. 23 to 37 months in prison. Flores had previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute steroids and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

Robert South, 43, of Glendale was sentenced June 23 to more than five years in prison. He previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute steroids and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

Justin Clark, John Foley and Jesse Lemley were each sentenced to three years of probation for their part in the organization.

“Robert South and his drug distribution network negatively impacted the lives of many people throughout the United States,” said Doug Coleman, special agent in charge of DEA in Arizona. “These sentencings send a powerful message that drug traffickers who profit

from illegal activity will be tracked down and brought to justice by DEA, no matter the venue by which they operate their illicit businesses.”

The organization used underground laboratories in Phoenix to convert raw steroid powder imported from China into pills and injectable liquids, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

At one time, it was the largest of its kind known to be operating in Arizona, selling steroids on the Internet and mailing thousands of packages of steroids throughout the United States, the U.S. Attorney’s Office stated.

“Steroid traffickers are a scourge to our communities. They endanger our youth, flout our laws and undermine the fairness of athletic endeavors,” U.S. Attorney John Leonardo said.

“I am very thankful for the hard work of our law enforcement partners in bringing the leaders of this trafficking organization to justice.”

The investigation was conducted by agencies participating in the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force. The lead agencies were the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, Internal Revenue ServiceCriminal Investigation and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. It also included the participation of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.

The prosecution was handled by Keith Vercauteren and Todd Allison, assistant U.S. Attorneys, District of Arizona.

Avondale residents accused of burglaries Avondale’s Tactical Operations Unit, along with members of the Criminal Investigations Bureau and Community Action Team, served a search warrant at the home, Hintz said.

The warrant was in reference to multiple burglaries across the West Valley in which Orozco and Taylor were identified as suspects, Hintz said.

The investigation is ongoing.

Two Avondale residents were arrested Aug. 31 at their home near Avondale Boulevard and MC85 in connection to a string of burglaries in the West Valley, officials said.

Alejandro Orozco, 20, and Lesli Taylor, 49, were booked into Maricopa County Fourth Avenue Jail and face charges related to burglary and fraud, said Sgt. Mathew Hintz, a spokesman with the Avondale Police Department.

MY VIEWPOINT

GRANLUND’S OPINION — PoliticalCartoons.com

EDITORIAL

Who is this man with a badge?

I first met Joe Arpaio when he ran for sheriff the first time. He came in for an endorsement interview with our editor and me.

We endorsed in local, county, state and congressional elections in the early years.

Not much stood out about Arpaio at the time. He had a background in law enforcement and the county needed a new sheriff after the problems the current one had finding the killers in the Buddhist temple murders.

Arpaio had an air about him and talked like a tough guy, saying he would get da bad guys.

He won election and kept up the tough guy talk. In fact, he got more and more brazen about who he was and what his job was as his county career went along.

When he realized his constituency was concerned about Mexican immigrants, he took that on as his No. 1 enforcement goal. The more he did on that issue, the higher his poll numbers went, and that spurred him to continue to talk tough and escalate Elliot Freireich his war on Mexicans.

One question that continues to come up in internal questions from the media that cover him as well as the recent trial regarding his ignoring a judge’s orders is how much control does Arpaio have over his department vs. how much do his lead deputies run their own shows?

The sheriff is always out front on any high profile incident stating he looks out for his deputies and doesn’t answer to any other officials.

But his staff seems to freelance quite a bit. The View’s runins with the department would seem to indicate that his public information officers don’t keep the sheriff apprised of their activities. After a successful lawsuit the View filed against the Sheriff’s Office, which was unsuccessfully challenged twice by that office, the sheriff didn’t even seem to know what it was about. Arpaio confronted me at a meeting in Litchfield Park about being a member of the press and how horrible we all were. He actually interrupted his prepared remarks to hassle a resident taking notes thinking he was a reporter and then moved on to a View reporter and me.

He knew all about the headline of Cary Hines’ column, “Arpaio as dangerous as a child molester.” But he admitted he hadn’t read the column.

I explained it to him. Not until the Litchfield School District superintendent came to our office with an artist’s drawing of a person who attempted to abduct children on their way to school did anyone at this newspaper have a clue there was a potential child molester in the community.

And it turned out this was the second time the person attempted to kidnap a child in the same neighborhood.

The Sheriff’s Office still was withholding press (See Badge on Page 7)

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.

The secret list Editor: A Secret List Gun Ban Amendment would allow Attorney General Loretta Lynch to put various gun owners onto a “secret list: if they “qualify” to be on the selectee list.” She could do this if in her politicized opinion, these targeted gun owners constituted a “threat.”

Once on the list, they would be subject to a lifetime gun ban.

Senator Jeff Flake voted for this amendment!

Currently, an American citizen can only have his constitutional right to gun ownership revoked if he is convicted of a felony by a jury of his peers. Granting a government agency from the executive branch the power to revoke this right purely on its suspicions of what that person might do explicitly violates the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. It also violates the Fifth Amendment provision that American citizens cannot be “deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law.”

The main reason Americans adopted the Second Amendment was to protect people from government tyranny.

The founders knew that no society could be free simply because the people could bear arms.

They specifically stated that freedom could only be preserved

if the American people held fast to principles of morality and the rule of law. Micromanaging gun ownership won’t make American safe; it will only foster tyranny.

True homeland security exists in America’s homes.

91% of law enforcement officers say that banning so-called “assault weapons” would have no effect on crime reduction and 95% say that banning high capacity magazines would NOT reduce crime.

The Liar-in-Chief is using “officer safety” as an excuse to further his agenda which is to ban firearms.

Our first responders have rejected Obamas premise.

With respect from an antiquated vet.

DJ Hammond Buckeye

Racist or bigot?

Editor: Trump calls Hillary a Bigot and Hillary calls trump a racist.

The main stream media goes into orbit defending Hillary on the bigot charge but are strangely muted on Hillary’s racist charge.

Who’s right? The dictionary says a bigot is intolerant of others opinions and a racist is prejudice against other races.

Bigot’ seems to be the milder term so one must wonder about the media’s approach.

So is trump a racist when he meets with representatives of the Hispanic community or when he reaches out to the black community to better understand their views? Is he a racist when he hires thousands of blacks or Hispanics for his business?

Hillary on the other hand is a total devotee to the Progressive cause and a supporter of Planned Parenthood, a cause created by Margaret Sanger to deal with the Black and immigrant problem.

While their rhetoric has softened since the Sanger days their actions have not. They are still the number one killer of black Americans and 80% of their clinics are in minority neighborhoods.

Hillary’s Progressive cause has moved inner city black communities from church and family oriented communities to drug infected, single parent war zones with failed schools. Cities that once were vibrant, historic, culturally beautiful and peaceful are now destroyed.

Hillary’s Progressive cause, while pretending to care about minorities, sees them only as potential controlled voters. They pretend to care about the poor but have put them in poverty prisons with little hope of escape.

So, as the Bible says “Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but fail to notice the beam in your own eye? “... it appears it is time for Hillary to look in the mirror.

Business Briefcase

by Shane McOwen staff writer

Hello again, everyone, and welcome to the first September Business Briefcase of 2016.

We’re officially able to say that summer is over.

It doesn’t matter that it’s still 100-plus degrees outside.

It doesn’t matter that the autumnal equinox doesn’t happen for another 16 days.

Pumpkin-spiced everything is back. That’s how we know.

Just like how Punxsutawney Phil (try spelling that without help) lets us know when winter will really end, the pumpkin-spice unveiling has let us know fall is upon us.

Break out those light coats, everyone! Who needs the autumnal equinox to tell us when the seasons change when you have piping-hot pumpkin coffee to sip down? The length of daylight and darkness isn’t quite equal, anyway.

Let’s start out in Goodyear with an issue I’ve received a couple of emails about.

Sarival Road has been closed for some time from Indian School to Camelback roads for a couple of reasons. The first is a road improvement project initiated by the city. The second is for construction to begin on a 618,000-square-foot industrial building, and it’s for nothing.

Nothing, yet, anyway. Goodyear is currently evaluating the market for potential users, said Michelle Lawrie,

Goodyear’s economic development director.

Kialani Mills will sing during tennis tournament

County Attorney Republicans Bill Montgomery 270,781 votes (100 percent) Democrats Diego Rodriguez 159,648 votes (100 percent)

by Glenn Gullickson staff writer

She won’t be swinging a tennis racket, but a 10-year-old girl from Litchfield Park is preparing for two minutes in the spotlight at the U.S. Open tennis tournament.

That’s about how long it will take Kialani Mills to sing “America the Beautiful” when center court becomes her stage between the women’s semi-final matches on Thursday at the Billy Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows outside New York City.

Kialani is among about a dozen youths who won the right to sing at the tournament after auditions earlier this year.

“It’s a very big honor,” she said.

Kialani, the daughter of Mike and Kelly Mills, is a fifth-grader at Las Brisas Elementary in Glendale, a school that puts an emphasis on the arts.

“I love music,” she said.

She also plays tennis, and it was her tennis coach who made Kialani aware of the U.S. Open’s Kids Anthem Auditions.

Kialani was among about 200 youths who submitted songs on video in May, then was summoned to New York City in June for an in-person audition.

For the try-out in front of three judges, Kialani said there were “cameras everywhere and dramatic lighting.”

It won’t be the first time Kialani has sung in front of a crowd. In December, she sang the national anthem at a Suns game and she’s also sung at an athletic event at a local high school.

“It’s exciting and nerve-racking at the same time,” Kialani said. “I just love singing in front of crowds. I like getting the applause. It’s really fun.”

Kelly Mills said her daughter’s musical abilities came naturally.

“She’s been singing since she was a year old,” she said.

Kialani has been playing the piano since she was 4, and she has weekly lessons with a piano and voice teacher.

Last year, Kialani tried out for America’s Got Talent during an open audition for the TV talent show in Phoenix, singing I Will Always Love You. She likes what she called “older songs” by artists such as Etta James, Beyonce, Alicia Keys and Bruno Mars.

To get ready to sing in front of an audience likely to exceed 20,000, Kialani has daily practices of America the Beautiful, a song she said she had to learn before the auditions.

“I really feel what the song says,” she said.

For her big moment, she’s planning to wear what she called a “big red sparkly dress,” perhaps with blue and white accessories in keeping with the patriotic theme.

Two weeks before heading to New York, she was still looking for the right shoes.

Making the trip with Kialani will be her parents, brothers, Kaleo, 8, and Kainoa, 2, and other relatives from as far away as Hawaii.

Following their art West Valley program caters to budding artists

by Kourtney Balsan special to the View

West Valley high school artists received a chance to chase their dreams, or at least learn how to, July 27 at the Goodyear Community Center.

Follow Your Art Jr., an annual program put on by the city of Goodyear and Catitude Gallery and Studio, a nonprofit education-based gallery in Avondale, helps young artists create their professional art portfolios, learn different art techniques and take part in an art show, Catitude Director Bonnie Mostert Lewis said.

The 11-day program is designed to give advanced local high school students who have a passion for art an opportunity for advancement in areas they don’t get taught in school, Mostert Lewis said.

The sessions show how professionals display their work, and they introduce young artists to types of art they’ve never tried before with one-on-one instruction from beginning to end, she said. “We realized very early on that the average age of artists in a gallery today is probably 62, and that we were going to fall way, way behind in young artists because the schools have less and less tools and money to provide instruction and materials,� Mostert Lewis said.

Follow Your Art Jr. helps build art and creativity skills, said Henry Bosak, an Avondale artist and class instructor.

Art plays a crucial role in education, and is proven to help students succeed, Mostert Lewis said. “Art just makes every part of learning better,� Mostert Lewis said, referencing a 2014 STEM to STEAM study showing the benefits of adding art to standardized testing. “Science students began to think more creatively and the creative students started to think more scientifically and much better rounded.�

A decline in art education is destructive to youths because art fosters creativity and provides them with the opportunity to express themselves, Bosak said. “There’s not as much of the arts in the schools anymore,� he said. “I mean there is some, but not as much as there should be. Any little bit you can help out, I think that’s a benefit to everybody, whether it’s the kids or just the communities in general, because without art, there’s no soul.�

Bosak’s art is displayed all over the state and nation.

One of his paintings was displayed over the summer in a New York gallery, and he was chosen to paint a mural inside a Fry’s Marketplace that recently opened in Litchfield Park.

He decided to instruct the class to help youths strengthen their art skills, something he said he wishes was available to him growing up. “As a little kid, I just drew pictures. I copied Norman Rockwell and that sort of thing, and then I just took off from there. I always liked to paint, I always liked to draw.

It has always been something that I do,� he said. “If I had something like this, it would have been great because you’re around other kids, young adults, who are very talented. They just kind of motivate you to do better, paint better.�

NYSSA INIGUEZ, 15, of Avondale works alongside her brother, Guillermo, 13, on artwork at Follow Your Art Jr. July 27 at the Goodyear Community Center. Follow Your Art Jr. is a free art program put on by the city of Goodyear and the Catitude Gallery and Studio in Avondale that helps teens build their portfolios.

Follow Your Art Jr. included a review of basic and advanced drawing skills; watercolor and acrylic painting techniques; and the use of colored pencils, pastels and mixed media, Bosak said.

Sessions also included guest speakers; portfolio development and critiques; artwork documenting and presentation skills; and preparing for a future in the field of fine art.

At the end of the program, students displayed their art in a gallery at the Goodyear Library where it was judged, Mostert Lewis said.

Winners received ribbons, and first-place students received products with their art displayed on them. “The kids are very talented. It’s amazing how much talent there is out there, and all we try to do is help them,�

Bosak said.

Their art is on display at the Goodyear Branch Library, 14455 W. Van Buren St., through Oct. 2. The library is open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Wednesday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday through Saturday.

Isabel Glass, 15, of Goodyear attends Verrado High School in Buckeye and loves art, but plans to be a doctor. She attended Follow Your Art Jr. with her best friend, Kenna Elliott, 15, of Litchfield Park, who attends Millennium High School in Goodyear. “We are both really into art, so we decided to do it together,� Kenna said.

Isabel said the program gave her the chance to learn about art disciplines that her school can’t quite provide, she said. “I definitely enjoyed just having a good space where everyone is so focused on their own art and having all these materials available to you. They are really expensive and these just aren’t random things I can come

across at home or buy with my own money,� Isabel said. “It is really awesome having an environment dedicated to art. I have an art class at school and it is just assignments.

With this, I have the freedom to do whatever I want, and that’s amazing to me.�

If being a doctor doesn’t work out in the 12 years of college Isabel will need to attend, then she will definitely lean on art and become an artist, she said. “I learned a lot of different techniques. I learned inking and acrylic, and we did this one thing call planar painting, which is definitely not for me,� she said. “I do not have the patience to sit down and just draw what I see.�

Kenna said her favorite part of the sessions was when they were free to explore their artistic creative abilities after learning something new. “After we learn a new technique, we can apply it to do whatever composition we wanted,� she said.

Kenna was most excited about the art show, and said she admired the professional aspect of it. “I’ve never entered in an official art show before, only school art shows,� she said. “It sounds really professional, you have to frame it and take pictures of your artwork and there’s even first-, second-, third-place winners.�

Art is an outlet for Kenna, who wants to be an art teacher or an animator one day, she said, adding she has something to look forward to, rather than a typical desk job. “When you compare desk jobs under florescent lights and you’re doing paperwork all day, then you look at the life of an artist, sure it’s chaotic and crazy, but you could express yourself and do what you love every single day and get paid for that. Like there’s no contest,� she said.

A tale of 2 halves Wolverines rally past shaky start, defeat Agua Fria

by Rafael Alvarez special to the View

For the first half, Agua Fria was the better team against Tolleson, as the Owls led the Wolverines 19-7 at halftime. However, the second half proved to be a different story, as the Wolverines (1-1) FOOTBALL scored 28 unanswered points and defeated the Owls (1-2) 35-19 Sept. 2.

The Owls started off hot, as they marched 70 yards down the field for an opening-drive touchdown, which was capped off by an 11-yard run from running back Darique Williams. The touchdown gave Agua Fria a 7-0 lead with 7:43 left in the opening quarter. Williams also led all players with 126 rushing yards on 22 carries.

While the Owls’ opening drive was the way a team would like to start a game, the Wolverines’ opening drive was the complete opposite. A sloppy opening drive, which included three penalties, ultimately resulted in a

Westview falls to Brophy, looks to Horizon Bye week hampers Knights in 35-14 loss to Broncos

by Casey Pritchard sports editor

Westview opened its season playing a Zero Week game. The drawback was a bye the very next week.

The Knights had 13 days off between their first and second game of the season, and the time off did not treat them FOOTBALL favorably against Phoenix Brophy Sept. 2. Westview turned the ball over three times and struggled on defense in a 35-14 loss.

“That week off killed us,” Westview coach Nick Gehrts said. “The kids, at that point, they’re not ready for a break. I think it killed our momentum.

Not to take away from Brophy, they’re a really good team, really well coached, too.”

Brophy got four touchdowns from running back Noah Pittenger, and quarterback Ryan Matthews completed 10 of his 16 passes for 152 yards and a touchdown.

“We had three turnovers, and we knew going in Brophy wasn’t going to beat themselves, and we couldn’t afford to turn the ball over,” Gehrts said. “On all three of

Juggling ACT La Joya football/baseball star Hunter Older ranked No. 1 in graduating class, scores 32 on ACT

by Shane McOwen sports writer

By the time La Joya senior Hunter Older graduates, he’ll have accumulated seven varsity letters between football and baseball.

He was already the school’s all-time receiving leader before the 2016 season even began, with 690 yards on 44 receptions, and has been a mainstay on the varsity baseball squad since his freshman year.

Those accomplishments are just the tip of the iceberg.

Older is currently ranked first in his graduating class, and recently scored a 32 on the American College Testing exam. A perfect score for the ACT is 36.

It takes a lot of dedication to pull off the balancing act, excelling on the field as well as in the classroom, Older said.

“Right now, it’s just about dedication. I’m dedicated to football and baseball, but then I also have to put in two to three hours of homework a night,” he said. “It’s not always what you want to do, especially when you get out late [after practice]. You don’t always want to go home and study and do homework. I know it will pay off in the long run, when I’m at the college I want or have the job that I want.”

Older is planning on applying to Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif., before the Nov. 1 early enrollment deadline. He’s currently deciding between a degree in an engineering discipline or biology.

“I like math, I feel like that’s my strong suit,” he said.

“I was going to go into an engineering field. If not, I’m really interested in biology. I took the [advanced placement] biology course [at La Joya]. I really enjoyed it and was looking to go into marine biology, so that’s why I wanted to go to a school on the west coast.”

Older’s backup plan is attending the Barrett Honors College at Arizona State University.

“It has a lower student-to-staff ratio, and good housing,” he said.

Josh Mitchell, head football coach at La Joya, said he’s working on helping Older continue his athletic career in college if he so chooses.

“I’m going to do everything I can to help him continue playing as well,” Mitchell said. “He’s going to keep his options open.”

Mitchell said every coach would love to have a player like Older on his team.

“He’s become a really good leader for us,” Mitchell said. “He takes the time to think about what he’s going to say, and can phrase it in a way that everyone knows what he’s talking about, and they know that he knows what he’s talking about.”

Academics Older said he took a few practice tests before scoring 32 on the ACT. The national average for the test is 20, and a score

Halves (From Page 12) turnover after a fumble recovery by Agua Fria outside linebacker Angel Villalobos. That gave the Owls the ball back at the Tolleson 44-yard line with 4:34 left in the first quarter.

In a drive that featured three fourth-down conversions, one of which came off a fake punt and run by wide receiver/cornerback D.J. Charles, Agua Fria took advantage of the mishap and scored. Running back Darius Johnson would be the beneficiary of a four-yard touchdown run, and after a missed PAT, the Owls led 13-0 with 10:52 remaining in the second quarter.

With 8:21 left in the first half, the Wolverines turned over the ball on downs on their following drive at the Owls’ 22-yard line, a drive that initially began with an 80-yard kickoff return for a touchdown being called back for an illegal block in the back penalty. However, the Wolverines would have a change of fortune shortly after.

It took them three plays to get the ball back after a fumble

by Owls quarterback Randy Hassell was recovered

by Wolverines cornerback Trey Johnson at the Owls’ 30-yard line.

Tolleson capitalized off the turnover a few plays later, as running back Lionel Suazo pounded it in for a oneyard score, which cut the lead to 13-7 with 4:54 left in the second quarter. Suazo finished the game with 13 carries for 87 yards and a touchdown.

Agua Fria answered right back, as it went 75 yards down the field in a drive highlighted by a 50-yard run from Williams. The drive ended with a one-yard touchdown run from Johnson with 50 seconds remaining in the first half to give the Owls a 19-7 lead. Johnson finished the night with eight carries for 37 yards, in addition to his two scores.

The Wolverines tried to score one last time before the first half ended off a hail mary attempt from quarterback Patrick Ortega, but it was picked off in the end zone by Charles as time expired. In addition to the interception, Charles also had seven tackles.

Wolverines struggle in 1st half The first half was not kind to Tolleson, as the Wolverines had seven penalties and three turnovers in the first two quarters alone, something that Wolverines left tackle Angel Torres and Tolleson coach Jason Wilke acknowledged.

“We were basically just beating ourselves with the penalties, and false starts,” Torres said.

“The first half, we had a ton of mistakes,” Wilke added.

“That was the message, ‘We’re not beating ourselves when we leave this locker room for 24 minutes, and we’ll get good results.’”

The Owls’ running game was also very successful, as they racked up over 160 rushing yards in the first half. Tolleson strong safety Kylon Hawkins, who led all players with 12 tackles, said he noticed Agua Fria’s successful running game in the first half.

“They just opened up holes and were getting through our line,” Hawkins said.

Center/linebacker Martin Valenzuela Parra, who had three tackles, said the preparation was there, but the Wolverines just weren’t executing.

“We practiced everything, we just weren’t getting after the ball,” Valenzuela Parra said. “We just had to stay disciplined and cover our holes, and have the linebackers read their keys.”

Tolleson started off the second half strong, driving 63 yards for a touchdown. The drive was capped off by a one-yard touchdown run from fullback Lamont Reese, which trimmed the deficit to 19-14 with 6:47 left in the third quarter.

The Wolverines then forced a three-and-out on Agua Fria’s opening drive after Tolleson defensive end/running back Davyon Duhart sacked Agua Fria’s Hassell at the Owls’ 30-yard line.

After a short punt, Tolleson was in great field position, as it started at its own 49.

Five plays later, the Wolverines were now on top after a two-yard touchdown run from Reese made the score 21-19 with 3:05 left in the third quarter.

DALLAS DIXON of Tolleson tries to get past the diving tackle of Agua Fria’s Cooper Niezgodzki Sept. 2.

Tolleson overcame a 19-7 deficit, scoring the game’s final 28 points to win 35-19. The victory was Tolleson’s first of the season, while Agua Fria dropped to 1-2.

The Owls would turn the ball over again on their next drive off a bad snap, which was recovered at the Agua Fria nine-yard line with 34 seconds left in the third quarter by Tolleson defensive end Dajamen Archer, who also had four tackles.

The momentum had shifted and it showed, as the Wolverines scored two plays later as time expired off a four-yard touchdown from running back Maleek Bush, who finished the night with eight carries for 49 yards. At the end of the third quarter, Tolleson led 28-19.

The final touchdown came with 2:16 left in the fourth quarter, as Duhart ran it in from 12 yards out to make it 35-19. Duhart finished with five carries for 39 yards, five tackles and a sack to go along with his touchdown run.

Wilke attributed the rally to his team’s overall physicality.

“The defense was getting us the ball back and the offensive line basically took over the game and we wore them out,” Wilke said. “Our running backs ran hard, and we played physical football, and we started owning the line of scrimmage.”

The message that Wilke sent to his players at halftime was received, and the result demonstrated it.

“Basically, just get on our saddle and start working,” Hawkins said. “Our line needs to work, they started working in the [second] half and won the game. Hard work pays off.”

“We turned it around in the second-half and it was our game,” Valenzuela Parra said. “We started off slow.

We’re a second-half team and we jumped on it and just got it.”

The Owls will look to bounce back this week when traveling to Phoenix North Canyon to face the Rattlers Friday.

Turning it around The Wolverines flipped the script on Agua Fria, as they shut out the Owls in the second half and forced them to commit three turnovers and six penalties, while Tolleson only committed one turnover and had two penalties in the second half.

That second-half momentum is something Torres said he thinks will continue on to their next game, as Tolleson will head to Mesa High School Friday to take on the Jackrabbits.

In total, the Owls had 10 penalties, while the Wolverines had nine. Despite Tolleson getting the win, Torres and Wilke each said many things still need to be fixed.

“We still need to work on a lot of things, like staying low and hitting our blocks,” Torres said.

“We still had a ton of mental errors, and we still had some turnovers,” Wilke said. “And in the game itself, we have to get better at blocking and tackling continuously.”

JONAH ALICEA, right, of Verrado hauls in a pass Sept. 2 as Millennium’s Nico Montejo leaps in an attempt to knock it away. Alicea’s reception turned into a 53-yard touchdown in a 14-point second quarter for Verrado. The Vipers went on to beat the Tigers 41-20.

Vipers change gears, dominate Tigers Afters slow start, Verrado turns it on in 41-20 victory

by Casey Pritchard sports editor

Both Verrado and Millennium looked as if they were taking an early start to the holiday weekend Sept. 2.

Neither team had any success moving the ball in a lackluster first quarter, but once the Vipers put together a strong offensive drive, the floodgates opened. The result was 24 consecutive points, which led to a 41-20 victory.

“On offense, we couldn’t get in a rhythm,” Verrado coach Derek Wahlstrom said. “It’s almost like we were pressing a little bit too much trying to make big plays, instead of just making basic plays. Once we got a little momentum, things kind of snowballed from there.”

Verrado got a first-quarter field goal thanks to a nice punt return, then scored two touchdowns in the second quarter. The first was a 12-play drive capped by a six yard Ja’Tai Jenkins run. Before that drive, the Vipers didn’t have a single first down in their first

four possessions.

“The line gave me enough time, and Jonah ran a great “We started a little bit slow, but we picked it up, the route,” Gamez said. “He’s a deep guy, a speed guy. It was O-line got better, the receivers got better and as a unit, we just the right play at the right time.” got better,” fullback Donte Richardson said.

Verrado added to its lead less than a minute into the The long TD drive was a product of the Vipers second half. On the second play of the third quarter, employing a hurry-up offense.

Richardson caught a screen pass from Gamez and “Something we’re really good at is going fast, and scampered 48 yards to the end zone for a 24-0 Verrado when we’re going fast, we’re not thinking, we’re lead. just doing what we know,” Verrado “The offensive line gave me good quarterback Maverick Gamez said. blocks, so I have to give all the credit to “That’s how we got back in that them,” Richardson said.

FOOTBALL rhythm.”

Up until that point, Millennium’s Wahlstrom said running the hurry-up offense was still without a first down. was something he had planned to do The Tigers got a gift from Verrado against Millennium. when the Vipers jumped offside on third-and-three, “Millennium plays a few more guys both ways than and the Tigers would made Verrado pay for the we do, and we also believe strongly in our offseason mistake. On a fourth-and-six from the Tigers’ own conditioning — coach [Jeff] Jenkins gets our guys in 21-yard line, quarterback Louis Contreras scrambled tip-top shape,” Wahlstrom said. “We felt if we could for 15 yards and another first down, and two plays speed things up on offense, it would also help on later Contreras, connected with Cameron Taylor for defense because they have some guys that go both a 67-yard touchdown pass. It got the Tigers on the ways.” board at 24-6.

On Verrado’s next possession, it needed just one play Verrado scored the next two touchdowns, one on a to add to its lead. Gamez hit Jonah Alicea on a 53-yard deep ball, making it 17-0. That would be the halftime (See Change on Page 19) score.

14-yard Richardson run and one on a Jenkins 51-yard run. With the score 38-6, Millennium’s Aiden Diggs returned a kickoff 86 yards for a touchdown, and the two-point conversion was good, making it 38-14.

Verrado would add its final three points on a Jose Gonzales 35-yard field goal, his second field goal of the game.

Millennium capped the scoring on a 14-yard TD pass from Contreras to Raymond Pauwels.

Early struggles

(TOP) PRESTON WOOTEN, 17, of Verrado turns his head Sept. 2 as the football falls through his hands for an incomplete pass. Millennium’s Cameron Taylor defended the play. (Bottom) Millennium’s Louis Contreras, 2, runs away from Verrado’s P.J. DeCoste. Both teams struggled at the start of the game, but the Vipers got things going in the second quarter and went on to a 41-20 victory.

The Tigers finished the first half with negative total yards, but had 205 in the second half.

“We didn’t give up,” Millennium coach James Carter said. “Our defense played great all night, we just have to regroup and fix our offense. We have a lot of sophomores, young guys. We’ve got to pick it up.”

Millennium’s start to the game was a disaster, as after a 50-yard Diggs return, the Tigers snapped the ball over Contreras’ head on two consecutive plays. It put the Tigers in a third-and-54 situation.

“That killed us,” Carter said. “You can’t make mistakes against a good football team.”

Verrado’s defense stayed relentless the rest of the first half. The Vipers wound up backing up Millennium on seven first-half plays.

“Our first-[team] defense, they were lights out tonight,” Wahlstrom said. “It was a fantastic game plan by our defense and implemented really well.”

At the forefront of the defense was Jakob Alicea. He was all over the field and finished with 2.5 sacks.

“It was our D-line,” Alicea said. “We had a blitz that would pick up one guy and I could come free.”

Cooper Stigsell also had a nice game, making three tackles for a loss.

“Cooper played great, I was really proud of him,” Wahlstrom said. “His wrestling background pays dividends there. He’s not the biggest guy in the world, but he battles and uses his skills in there, his dexterity and deftness, to play well.”

Offensively, the Vipers racked up 380 total yards. Gamez was 10 of 21 passing for 203 yards and three touchdowns, with one interception. Jenkins led the ground attack, rushing 16 times for 125 yards and two touchdowns.

The win improves Verrado’s record to 3-0. The Vipers will face undefeated Gilbert Williams Field this Friday on the road.

“This has nothing to do with region titles or anything like that, but it has huge power-point implications and we’d like to take advantage of that opportunity,” Wahlstrom said. “It’s going to be great playing a big game this early.”

Millennium will host undefeated Desert Edge Friday.

BOBBY WHITE, left, of Westview rushes the ball Aug. 19 against Basha. The Knights suffered their first loss Sept. 2, falling to Brophy 35-14.

Westview (From Page 12) those turnovers, they scored. That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help.â&#x20AC;?

Westview had more first downs than Brophy, 14-10, and its time of possession was greater. The halftime deficit was only 14-6, but the Knights couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turn things around after intermission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Late in the third quarter, we got in a third and long, there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much we could do, then they go down and score, went up by two scores,â&#x20AC;? Gehrts said.

Another problem Westview had was a lack of execution, Gehrts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play assignment-correct football in all three

phases of the game,â&#x20AC;? Gehrts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The good news is everything is fixable. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our focus this week.â&#x20AC;?

Westview will play at home Friday for the first time this season, hosting Scottsdale Horizon. After failing to win a game in 2015, the Huskies are 3-0 this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Horizon is a good team,â&#x20AC;? Gehrts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve definitely got our work cut out for us. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really explosive offensively.â&#x20AC;?

Horizon has a lot of speed on both sides of the ball, Gehrts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Offensively, they have some playmakers,â&#x20AC;? Gehrts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On the outside, they have a 6-10 guy, and on the other side, they have a 6-4 guy. Both of them make plays on the ball. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to get better defensively.â&#x20AC;?

Although Westview won its season opener against Chandler Basha, the Knights still allowed 36 points to the Bears. That means theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve given up 71 points in two games.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of those points are coming off big plays, where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not executing, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coached to go,â&#x20AC;? Gehrts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of our coaches made a good point, what you see is what you coach. So, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to do a better job coaching. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really trying to get everything fixed. Hopefully, we can put it all together this week.â&#x20AC;?

After this week, Westview hosts Gilbert Highland, then travels to powerhouse Peoria Centennial. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One thing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m learning really quickly, making the move [to 6A], is every week is a tough game,â&#x20AC;? Gehrts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really trying to look at Horizon, trying to go 1-0 against them.â&#x20AC;?

Skyler Madison Goodwin Skyler Madison Goodwin, age 8, of Avondale, AZ died August 25, 2016. She was born February 27, 2008 in Shreveport, LA to Derek and Stormy Goodwin. Skyler was truly unique and one-ofa-kind with a gentle soul. Her vivacious smile and infectious laughter were full of life and of happiness. Her presence was always known and her spirit was infectious. She had the most beautiful eyes and saw the world from a perspective as unique as she was. Despite her inability to verbalize most things, she always had a way of getting her point across. Though she did not have many words, every word she spoke touched the heart and was deeply treasured.

Skyler loved music, especially Maroon 5’s song, “Sugar”, the movie, “Home”, cotton candy, her stuffed “puppy friend” Violet, water play, swinging, and sunshine. Almost any time she was upset, the ABC song was known to bring Skyler comfort and calm. She gave the best hugs and the most intense kisses with a huge “MUAH!” Skyler never objected to anyone rubbing her back and if you did it wrong she would “show you” by guiding your hand to where she wanted it to be. Skyler had a Àerce independence and never allowed her disabilities to halt her determination of doing exactly what she wanted to do.

Skyler’s life was impacted by those around her that shared a love for helping her grow and learn. In return, Skyler had an inÀnite impact on everyone she encountered, even if it was just a short interaction. She touched the lives of classmates, countless children, and adults everywhere. Skyler taught all of us love, patience, acceptance, and perseverance. Like the sunshine that she loved so much, Skyler’s memory will shine on and live within each of us for eternity.

Skyler is survived by her parents, Derek and Stormy Goodwin; grandparents, Melvin and Donna Crossland; Steave and Brenda Breeding; and Ken Goodwin; great-grandmother, Joan Goodwin, pop-pop and memaw, Bradford and Becky Woodruff; aunt Fancee Riddle; uncles, Dustin Goodwin, Rory Ainsworth, Wesley Parfait, and Nick Parfait; godfather and godmother, Mark and Jessica Green; teacher, Sarah Williams and the entire Palm Valley Elementary family; and fur family, Zoe and Tucker Goodwin. She was preceded in death by her great-grandfather, Richard Goodwin.

A visitation will be held at 5:00 pm, Friday, September 2, 2016 at Thompson Funeral Chapel, 926 S. LitchÀeld Road, Goodyear, AZ. The family suggests that donations be made to www.gofund. me/2mefpd6c.

Jack R. Leggett, Sr. Jack R. Leggett, Sr., 93, a longtime resident of Litchfield Park, Arizona died August 9, 2016.

A member of the “Greatest Generation,” Jack was born March 8, 1923 in the middle bedroom of the house in which he grew up in Buchanan, Michigan. He learned the value of thrift and hard work during the Great Depression and came of age during World War II, serving as a photographer in the Army Air Corps. One of his enduring memories was being in a jammed and chaotic Times Square on New Year’s Eve 1941, in uniform, just weeks after Pearl Harbor. As he told the story, “No one would let you pay for anything...”

Following his discharge from the Army after an injury that left his hearing damaged, he returned home to Buchanan and explored a number of jobs. He managed a supermarket and ran a service station. He also delivered house trailers across America from Texas to New Hampshire—one often told story involving the delivery of a 35 foot house trailer towed through icy mountains in the winter, by a car with bad brakes. Despite that experience, Jack always loved long drives and continued to drive from Arizona to visit Buchanan until he was in his mid-80s.

In his spare time, Jack played drums in swing bands all around southwestern Michigan. And as the war came to an end, a friend’s girlfriend introduced him to her sister, Jane Albright, from Niles, Michigan. Jane and Jack were married June 14, 1946 and were together until Jane died nearly 40 years later in 1985.

After he was married, Jack pursued his love of photography and, with Jane, ran a photo studio in Buchanan. But looking for a more secure occupation to support the family that eventually included sons Jack, Jr (Mary Beth), Stephen (Susan) and Philip (Lori), Jack, Sr. used the GI Bill to earn a degree in accounting. After living in Buchanan for many years, Jack and Jane moved to Litchfield Park in 1972, where Jack continued to work as an accountant, comptroller and purchasing agent until his retirement at age 68. Not one to be idle, he continued to volunteer as Treasurer for the Church at Litchfield Park and also served as a deacon for many more years. He is survived by his sons, daughters in law and four grandchildren: Emily Leggett, Anthony Leggett, Jack Leggett, III, and Grace Leggett.

Jack will be interred in the Garden of Memories at the Church at Litchfield Park, alongside Jane. A memorial and Celebration of Jack’s life is planned at the Church at Litchfield Park at 11:00 AM on Saturday, September 24, 2016. Following the memorial, there will be a reception at the church.

In honor of Jack’s favorite beverage and desert, refreshments will include apple pie and coffee.

The family suggests donations be made to Disabled American Veterans (Jack was a life member.)
