W.V. home building on rise Permits return to 2008 levels

The rumors are true, the West Valley is growing into the place to be.

June’s single-family home-building permits are reflecting a comeback as numbers are rising and returning to 2008 levels all over the West Valley.

The city of Buckeye was first to notice the trend as the number of newly built homes has increased steadily each month, said George Flores, Buckeye development services director.

“The 1,106 single-family permits issued during 2015 more than tripled the number the city issued back in 2010,” Flores said. “That trend seems to have continued into this year,

Tartesso purchased in $80 million deal 41,000 more homes could be built in Buckeye master-planned community

by Glenn Gullickson staff writer

The purchase of 11,000 acres of the Tartesso development in Buckeye could signal a resurgence of home building in the West Valley.

Investors paid $80 million for the acreage that could accommodate more than 41,000 homes

in a master-planned community near the White Tank Mountains 3.5 miles north of Interstate 10 along Sun Valley Parkway.

It’s considered the biggest land purchase — in size and price — in Buckeye since 2008, when (See Tartesso on Page 2)

with each of the first six months averaging well over 100 permits per month.”

After 2008, many of the West Valley cities experienced a drastic drop in permit numbers as the economy sank, Flores said, adding home-building permits reflect the economy’s digression and progression, displaying the public’s comfort level in buying a home with the large price tag attached.

Renovations make a splash Avondale to dedicate splash pad at Friendship Park Saturday

by Glenn Gullickson staff writer

Avondale’s largest and busiest park is open for business again after being closed during the summer for a $3.5 million renovation project, including the construction of the city’s first splash pad.

To celebrate the opening of the splash pad, which doubles as the city’s newest installation of public art, a formal dedication is planned for (See Splash on Page 2)

Splash (From Page 1) Saturday at the park.

After being closed since June 20, the park and its new splash pad actually opened to the public on Labor Day Sept. 5, according to Kirk Haines, Avondale’s director of parks, recreation and libraries.

Haines said the “laughter and smiles” of about 75 children who used the splash pad in the first hours it was open was evidence that the park’s newest feature will be a hit.

“It’s good to see all the activity back in the park,” Haines said. “We’re back in full swing.”

The activity includes players who are returning to softball and soccer fields that were refreshed during the park’s shutdown, Haines said.

Those visiting the park will also find new picnic shelters, a barbecue area, a new set of restrooms near the splash pad and 100 additional parking spaces.

Two of the park’s three playgrounds got new equipment last spring.

Work on additional landscaping by adding up to 300 trees is continuing, and replacement of the park’s tennis court is expected to be done by the end of October, Haines said.

“Everything inside the park has changed,” he said.

But the centerpiece of the 55-acre park is sure to be the 1,800-square-foot splash pad, which was years in the making.

Haines said the splash pad offers a variety of water play elements that run on a four-minute cycle.

The splash pad’s floor features a mosaic designed by 19 local youths led by master artists Leslie Scott and Beverly Etchart for a project funded by the Avondale Municipal Arts Committee.

The work titled “Chelonia,” the Greek word for turtle or tortoise, is inspired by the Sonoran mud turtle, a species found in the pond at the park.

Scott, who is based in Charlotte, N.C., said she pitched the project to the city and worked with the youths on the

“The project allowed the kids an opportunity to create mosaics that will be permanently embedded in the concrete of their splash pad,” she said. “It turned out really, really lovely.”

Haines agreed that the splash pad is a work of art. “This is really something special, something very unique,” he said.

Scott will be among those attending the dedication along with City Council and Parks, Recreation and Libraries Board members, architects and contractors, Haines said.

For its introductory season, the city plans to keep the splash pad open into the fall, Haines said.

“We’re going to run it as long as we can until it just isn’t warm enough anymore,” he said.

The splash pad typically will be open from March to mid-October, he said.

Splash pad hours are 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays and 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.

Haines said the city will start accepting reservations for the park’s new picnic shelters after Saturday.

WHAT: Friendship Park splash pad dedication WHEN: 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, with formal dedication at 10:30 a.m.

WHERE: Friendship Park, 12325 W. McDowell Road, Avondale COST: Free; giveaways and free hot dogs while supplies last INFO: 623-333-2400, www.avondale.org/parks

The shelters that can accommodate up to 50 people can be reserved in four-hour blocks for $50, Haines said.

Shelters that aren’t reserved can be used without charge, he said.

Haines said the public had been understanding while the park was closed, but reported receiving complaints from some walkers and runners as well as pet owners who used Friendship’s dog park, which also had some work done during the renovations.

The entrance to the park was also modified and drivers headed west-bound on McDowell Road must now turn into the park at the traffic signal.

Haines noted that a street project on McDowell Road is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

“We ask people to drive with caution,” he said.

Haines said the city welcomes feedback on the project.

(From Page 1) the Valley housing market crashed.

According to the deal, which closed on Sept. 1, the purchase was made by a joint venture of Dolphin Partners of Irvine, Calif., Quantum Capital of Phoenix and Bixby Bridge Capital of Illinois.

The seller was Stardust Holdings, owned by Jerry Bisgrove, a Valley developer and philanthropist.

Kevin Pitts, president of Dolphin Partners, told AZ Big Media that his company’s research indicated recovery and expansion of the local housing market.

“This asset is uniquely located with a full range of amenities to address that growth,” Pitts told AZ Big Media.

Tartesso is one of the largest housing developments in Buckeye, Phoenix’s westernmost suburb that sprawls across 600 square miles with a population of 61,000.

Tartesso was born as part of the housing boom in 2005, with about 3,000 lots completed before the Great Recession halted construction.

The existing development includes an elementary school and boasts a sports park with baseball and soccer fields, tennis courts and ramadas as well as

neighborhood parks, splash pads and greenbelts.

But lots planned for commercial enterprises stand empty.

Perhaps a preview of coming attractions, the first construction in Tartesso since the recession was started recently by DR Horton, which is building a subdivision within the newly purchased land.

According to its website, Dolphin Partners oversees commercial real estate investments through the western U.S. and owns and manages office and industrial holdings.

Pitts did not return a telephone message seeking comment for this story.

The massive land purchase appeared to catch Buckeye City Hall unaware.

Bob Bushner, public information officer for the city, declined a request for comment from city officials for this story.

In an email, Bushner said Buckeye Mayor Jackie Meck doesn’t know much about the sale and wouldn’t be available for an interview.

View report

A suspect in an armed robbery of an Avondale bank was killed and two others apprehended by authorities during a police chase across the Valley around noon Sept. 6.

The man who was killed has been identified by Phoenix police as Steven Del Rio, 31.

Avondale police said the chase began when they responded to a Ruben bank robbery in progress at 11:49 a.m. Sept. 6 at Credit Union Rodriguez West, 503 W. Van Buren St., Avondale.

Officers saw a black SUV fleeing the scene at a high rate of speed and attempted to stop the vehicle in the area of Dysart Road and Van Buren Street when the vehicle’s occupants fired shots at the officers, according to the Avondale Police Department.

Avondale officers pursued the vehicle onto Interstate 10, where Phoenix police took over the pursuit in the area of 9100 West Interstate 10, authorities said.

As police followed the vehicle, two suspects, identified as Ruben Rodriguez, 31, and Sergio Escobedo, 20, allegedly got out and fled on foot at different locations, according to the Phoenix Police Department.

One was detained by the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office canine unit and the other was taken into custody by Phoenix Police officers as he allegedly

attempted to force his way into the back door of an unrelated residence, according to the Phoenix Police Department.

As the vehicle continued to flee at a high rate of speed, Del Rio allegedly blew through intersections, endangering other drivers and pedestrians, and discarded evidence along the route, authorities said.

At 1900 W. Baseline Sergio Escobedo Road in Tempe, the Phoenix Police Department Special Assignments Unit used several law enforcement vehicles to attempt to box in Del Rio’s vehicle. At that point, Del Rio allegedly pointed a handgun at officers who shot and killed him, authorities said.

Rodriguez has been booked into a Maricopa County jail and faces charges of aggravated assault, armed robbery and possession of a weapon by a prohibited possessor. Escobedo has been booked into a Maricopa County jail and faces two counts of armed robbery and two counts of aggravated assault.

Avondale police said no other suspects are being sought.

No Avondale officers were injured during the pursuit and no one was hurt at the bank, authorities said.

Authorities said Del Rio had been released from prison in May for armed robbery.

Law enforcement authorities from multiple jurisdictions are investigating the incident.

2 juveniles shot at house party Sunday in west Phoenix View report

Two juveniles, a boy and girl, sustained non-life threatening injuries when they were shot early Sunday morning at a party in west Phoenix.

Phoenix police said the party that had been advertised on social media was taking place at a residence near 83rd Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road when a man who lives at the residence allegedly exchanged gunfire with an individual or individuals on foot at a park near the residence.

Frenchie Lonnie Frenchie Lonnie, 35, was booked on one count of

aggravated assault and one count of possession of a weapon by a prohibited possessor, according to police.

The teenagers struck with bullets were taken to an area hospital for treatment, police said.

During the exchange of gunfire, a tan SUV was struck by bullets, causing damage, but no occupants were harmed, police said.

It is unclear if the SUV was targeted or accidentally struck, according to authorities.

Police said they were unable to substantiate whether anyone inside the SUV fired any shots.

Police said they didn’t have descriptions of suspects who were firing shots from the park.

An earlier report that a black Mercedes was involved in the incident are unsubstantiated, police said.

Anyone with information about the incident is urged to call Phoenix police at 602-262-4841. To remain anonymous, call Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS.

Explosive growth leads to new school

by Kourtney Balsan special to the View

The Littleton Elementary School District, which is more than 100 years old, is expanding with another campus.

The district introduced its new Fine Arts Academy in July south of Buckeye Road on 103rd Avenue in west Phoenix. Building broke ground in December 2014, and the school opened this fall as the district’s seventh campus.

“The creation of an arts academy was part of an initiative to develop specialty programs within the school district that would motivate students and their families to be more engaged in their learning,” said Roger Freeman, Littleton superintendent. “After a series of town hall meetings, school planning teams developed four areas of focus learning for the 2016-17 school year. In addition to fine arts, there are programs being developed for STEM, leadership and service. More programs are expected to come.”

As Littleton had rapid enrollment growth before the recession, the Arizona School Facilities Board advised it could not help facilitate the construction of news schools unless the original campuses became terribly overcrowded, Freeman said.

Littleton’s Governing Board quickly learned it could not completely rely on the state to take care of the district’s facility needs, and with the rapid growth starting up again, it was time to take matters into its own hands and build a new school, Freeman said.

“The facility is completely funded by Littleton’s local taxpayers through two bond authorizations. The purchase of the land was from the first authorization and the remaining phases of construction came from the 2014 bond authorization.” Freeman said.

Art will be incorporated throughout the school day, and the goal of the academy is to have well-rounded academic art stars, Principal Susan Gibson said.

“This school is remarkable. I am honored to be part of a new school that develops new traditions,” Gibson said.

“The building and structure enhance the opportunities that we have to integrate the fine arts into every aspect of the school day.”

The pupils who attend the academy have an interest or passion for the arts, and their skills are strengthened through specialty programs, Freeman said.

“In music, we get to play instruments,” fourth-grader Evan Robertson said.

The arts academy has pupils from kindergarten to seventh grade, and will grow to eighth grade next year, Freeman said.

Innovative measures were taken to conserve money

“The focus of this campus is fine arts and so the performance and learning spaces all do double duty to accommodate the student experience,” he said. “The multipurpose room becomes an auditorium by setting the cafeteria tables as bench seating. It has acoustic wall treatments and an acoustic roof deck that is designed to reduce echo in the space so that it can be used for performances. A backstage area also includes a loading dock, dressing rooms and restrooms that are needed for performances.”

Technology is beginning to play a large role in the

Littleton district as devices have become an integral part of the learning experience, Freeman said.

All pupils from second grade up will have their own device, and the building’s design of power sources makes that easier, he said.

“This school is way better because we get to have touch flip laptops,” fourth-grader Dominic Leyva said.

So far, so good, when it comes to the opinions of parents and grandparents regarding the new school.

“We feel so lucky to be able to experience everything that this new school gets to offer our family,” said Teresa Lugo, who has a grandchild at the campus. “He really likes his teacher and I see that he feels very secure and happy to be there. All the staff and principal have been wonderful and ready to welcome and help the kids at all times.”

Home building (From Page 1) and other construction activities, as well as sales tax for construction materials purchased in the city,” Flores said. “Stateshared revenues that come to the city from the state is based on population, so the more residents in the city, the more stateshared revenues the city receives.”

Single-family home-building permits are important to most cities, not only because building brings the city money, but it also means people want to live and grow roots in the city, Buckeye Mayor Jackie Meck said in a press release.

“People are finding that Buckeye has a small-town feel, and combined with the development of superior amenities like our Skyline Regional Park, they are realizing Buckeye is a great community to build or buy a home,” Meck said.

Avondale and Litchfield Park have already blown 2008’s numbers out of the water. Litchfield Park septupled its numbers, receiving seven times the number of permits so far in 2016 than it had eight years ago. From January to July, Avondale already received 57 more permits than it did during the entire year in 2008. Furthermore, the city received 13 more permits in June than it did in the same month last year, bringing its monthly total to 33.

Goodyear has also beat 2008 levels this year and noticed an increasing trend in permits. It was rated the 14th fastestgrowing city in the country in 2015, just beating Buckeye at 15th, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

“In 2015, the city of Goodyear nearly doubled the number of homebuilding permits issued since the decline in the housing market of 2008,” said Christopher Baker, the city’s development services director. “We are on track to issue more permits in 2016 than last year, which means Goodyear is going to grow at even a faster pace. We are prepared and very excited about this growth.”

Along with single-family homebuilding permits, the West Valley has welcomed new manufacturing firms and other development, adding to its economic uprise.

Goodyear has been expanding the Estrella Falls shopping and dining corridor near McDowell Road and Bullard Avenue, with Burlington Coat Factory and Harkins Theatres already investing around $20 million and bringing about 100 jobs collectively.

Phoenix Goodyear Airport is also making improvements and adding Michael Lewis Co., bringing $34 million in capital investment, and Lux Air Jet to the gateway area.

Cardinal IG Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of Cardinal Glass Industries, chose to locate in Buckeye, bringing more than 100 jobs.

“In addition, a major manufacturing firm has recently selected Buckeye for its plant that will bring more than 100 new jobs, so it is very gratifying that we are providing residents new places to work as well,” Meck said.

Tolleson is also improving its permit numbers from last year, having already issued more in 2016 than in 2015, but not quite reaching 2008 levels, said Jason Earp, Tolleson economic development director.

The city’s home-building numbers are sporadic, with zero permits in 2010 and 2011, one permit in 2012, then jumping to 33 permits in 2013, which beat 2008’s count of 21, Earp said.

Although Tolleson’s single-family home-building permits run low, the city has made large economic developments in manufacturing and industry, Earp said.

According to its website, Tolleson is host to commercial and industrial employers such as JBS Tolleson, PepsiCo, Kroger’s, Albertson’s, Home Depot, Staples and Sysco Food Systems.

SK Food Group is also building its new manufacturing facility in Tolleson, which will bring more than 550 jobs to the area.

Tolleson is six square miles and has a population of 7,000, with a goal to reach 10,000 residents, Earp said.

“Tolleson actively recruits housing in the hopes of reaching a population of 10,000 people to achieve the economic development objective to attract major retail along the I-10 corridor and more traditional retail throughout existing residential districts and downtown Paseo de Luces,” Earp said.

Buckeye hopes to maintain the steady increase in permits, but warns there is no way to predict where the city will be in the future considering permits fluctuate with the economy, Flores said.

“There is no way to predict homebuilding tendencies. It depends on many factors and tends to fluctuate with the national economy and regional housing market trends,” he said. “We hope the trend continues to hold steady and increase. [The goal moving forward is] to continue providing the best customer service to contractors and other home builders, and subsequently, to the owners of those new homes that have chosen Buckeye for their family’s future.”

MY VIEWPOINT

ENGLEHART’S OPINION — CagleCartoons.com

EDITORIAL

Biden wouldn’t call Americans deplorable Rumor has it Joe Biden is being prepped to step in should Hillary’s health falter further rendering her incapable of completing her campaign for the country’s highest office. I would have thought her vice presidential pick would have been the one to be tapped for the position, but I guess Biden makes more sense seeing as how no one has heard of Tim Kaine.

For anyone who was out of the country, or better yet, off the planet last weekend, Mrs. Clinton had to leave a Sept. 11 ceremony about three hours early because she fell ill, and while waiting for her ride, collapsed and was dragged into a van, losing a shoe along the way. She was whisked away to her daughter’s New York apartment, which I can only guess doubles as a hospital ward, and came out several hours later smiling and waving to reporters (who, by the way, were given strict orders by her handlers to stay at the event and not follow the Cary Hines candidate they were specifically there to cover). Her camp later released a statement blaming the fainting spell on pneumonia, which she was supposedly diagnosed with Sept. 9 and until Sunday kept from the press. I say supposedly, because Catherine Herridge, one of several members of the press who has been embedded with her, reported that neither she nor any of her cohorts were aware that Mrs. Clinton had had a chest X-ray, the only way to diagnose pneumonia. But let’s assume she snuck off and got a chest X-ray and was diagnosed with pneumonia, I can totally understand her wanting to keep it under wraps with all of the controversy surrounding her health. Pneumonia is extremely dangerous, especially at her age. But I can also totally understand her staff immediately issuing a statement offering it up as a reason for collapsing with so many rumors swirling that her symptoms mirror those of Parkinson’s. One illness can be cured, the other cannot.

But back to my point, Biden.

I can only imagine the Democratic National Committee is kicking itself for not courting Biden more when this business of choosing a candidate all started.

Biden’s gaffes are cute compared to Mrs. Clinton’s.

Sure, he might drop an occasional F-bomb, but it’s funny. It’s like watching Drunk Uncle. He may say some outlandish things, but when it’s all said and done, he’s harmless. And boy, oh boy, does he smile. Even after the heartache he’s experienced, he seems like a genuinely (See Deplorable on Page 7)

Rudy Giuliani, M.D.

I am going to dig that Cell Phone out and start calling these drivers in. After I have pulled over of course. Can’t turn into one of them.

Vickie Chelini Buckeye

Editor: Dr. Rudy Giuliani appeared at one Trump’s rallies with a big knot on his head from falling in the shower and was critical of Mrs. Clinton’s health.

His own neurological health seems to be in question since he was mayor of New York when 911 happened in 2001 but he says it happened under Obama’s administration which did not begin until 2008.

Bueford Tunstell Avondale

Drive, darn it, drive Editor: What is with all of these drivers lately just setting through Green Lights , and Stop Signs. Upon driving by them I can see the drivers have seized the moment to Text Somebody or Twitter, whatever the latest device.

I want these people ticketed.

No I want their house confiscated and the drivers licenses evoked, and their first born taken away.

Use to be once in a blue moon you would see someone swerve over a line, now its a daily occurrence You got it they are talking on a Cell phone.

What’s next?

Editor: Until the 1970’s, we were a manufacturing Nation. But, for many reasons, we didn’t keep up. We were told it would be OK because we were going to be a technology Nation and we were for a while. Then education was the answer and the MBA was the degree to get. Reality trumped theories and we were in the full-fledged service ecconomy supported by the bigger theories from PHDs. Of course, a service society can never servive because without the input of external revenue, the government costs will shrink a service-society pie.

So credit filled in the gaps.

The housing bubble of 1996 was caused by loosening credit standards. The dot com bust of 2000 and the great recession of 2008 were all attempts to spur the ecconomy through betting credit on a better future. Student loans are a credit-based bet, but seemingly free money always drives costs, not values, up.

Free money worked for a while. But it added debt to those who did not know how to profit from it and made the rich, richer.

The amount of debt this time around is staggering. Since, 2008, FED debt is $4 trillion,

Federal debt increased by $9 trillion, student debt $2 trillion and consumer debt is $14 trillion, topping the 2008 record.

Remember that $1 trillion is about $3,000 for every citizen.

We are all carrying an average $100,000 of accumulated debt with compounding interest.

What happens next? Even if the next post-presidential-election bubble is historically small, a 2% drop causes the dreaded deflation that stops spending now because everything is cheaper tomorrow.

That compounds the GDP drop, and the debt will keep climbing.

Then what???

Just focus on being ready to help those around you.

Chris Slotten Goodyear

Weise should be mayor Editor: According to Avondale’s website, “The seat of Mayor shows at this point to be up for runoff between candidates Kenneth Weise and Stephanie Karlin. A final ballot tally will be provided

by Maricopa County Elections Department once all early ballots dropped off at City Hall and at the polls and provisional ballots are tabulated.”

KEN WEISE is leading with 49.38% of the vote while Stephanie Karlin has only 26.60% of the vote, and Frank Scott has only 23.64%.

To avoid a November runoff , a candidate must get more than 50 (See Letters on Page 7)

Ken Weise is just shy of 50%, whereas Stephanie Karlin is just a little over half way there and Scott is not even half way.

I think it is rediculous for Avondale voters to have to pay for another election in this case, if after the final tally Weise doesn’t make it over the 50% threshold.

If I were Karlin and Scott, and if I really cared about Avondale, I’d back out of the race and allow the clear winner, Ken Weise to prevail.

Oktoberfest to kick off Litchfield events Centennial celebration, arts festivals among year’s highlights

by Glenn Gullickson staff writer

Oktoberfest will kick off special events in Litchfield Park for 2016-17, part of a schedule that includes the city’s well-known arts festivals, concerts and a weekend dedicated to the centennial of the community.

Oktoberfest will be from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday on the front lawn of the Wigwam, 300 E. Wigwam Blvd., Litchfield Park. Admission is $10, and free to children 12 and younger.

It’s the 12th year the city has partnered with the Wigwam for an event that draws 700 to 800 people, according to Tricia Kramer, Litchfield Park’s special events coordinator.

The Bob Doszak Band will play Oktoberfest favorites, with a dance floor set up in front of the stage. “We love to have people dancing through the night,� Kramer said. “People love to do the chicken dance.�

Direct Sounds DJ will play the hits between band sets.

Kramer said the event is family-friendly, with a play area for children.

The celebration will include potato sack races, a yodeling contest for adults and, new this year, a group photo area with props.

Also new this year will be a pumpkin chucking game that Kramer said is similar to cornhole.

Food and beverages will be available for purchase, with the Wigwam providing German favorites, such as bratwurst, sauerbraten and currywurst as well as warm pretzels, hot dogs and apple strudel.

German and domestic beers and wine will also be available.

The Litchfield Park special events series continues in October with the first of a series of six Arts in the Park concerts.

Kramer said many of the bands, including the first act, the Thaddeus Rose Band, are Valley-based favorites that have performed previous years.

Most of the concerts will be on the lawn at the Wigwam, but the Feb. 12 concert will be staged in the business district as part of the community’s centennial.

Kramer said a 25-member planning committee is planning the three-day centennial event.

While details are still to be determined, the event is expected to kick off at the Wigwam and include open houses, a historical walk and barbecue, Kramer said.

She said “all fans of Litchfield Park� will be welcome for the centennial.

The city is perhaps best-known to visitors as the site of four annual arts festivals, events Kramer said draw thousands of people to the city.

To mark the 25th anniversary of January’s Native American Fine Arts Festival, the event will be moved to the center of town and staged without an admission

Welcome to the Business Briefcase, everyone. Glad to have you aboard for this edition.

Now that football has returned to hijack all parts of Saturday and Sunday (and Monday and Thursday nights), I’m here to offer some unsolicited advice: The best time to get errands done is during those games.

This advice is not scientifically proven, but it seems like a safe bet. When everyone’s away, the cat comes out to get his groceries.

Shane McOwen The phrase goes something like that, anyway.

Here’s this week’s business news.

Catitude Gallery and Studio, a community arts center in Avondale at 404 E. Western Ave., has undergone an expansion, adding 1,600 square feet of gallery and gift shop space, as well as a 1,500-square-foot outdoor sculpture garden.

The gallery opens for its 2016-17 season Sept. 20, and features various artists’ work throughout the year as well as workshops and classes.

CTCA official named woman of year Molly Stockley, vice president of hospital growth at Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Goodyear, has been named the 2016 Woman of the Year by West Valley Women.

Her responsibilities as vice president of hospital growth include collaborating with hospital leadership, corporate leadership and both the regional and national board of directors to establish marketing/ outreach strategies that serve 17 demographic market areas in a 13-state region. Originally from New Iberia, La., Stockley has 23 years’ experience working in marketing, advertising, Molly Stockley broadcasting and media.

She is also active in the Kristina A. Stockley Melanoma Foundation Phoenix Heart Ball, Catholic Community Foundation Leadership Circle, Diocese of Phoenix Capital Campaign, Assistance in Healthcare, Goodyear Police Shop with a Cop, Phoenix Symphony, 12th Cancer Support Community Porch Party and the 49th American Cancer Society’s Jewel Ball. She is a Phoenix Children’s Hospital West Valley Advisory member and Charter 100 member.

Goodyear Airport Master Plan updated

by Kourtney Balsan special to the View

Updates are coming to the Valley’s almost 76-year-old Phoenix Goodyear Airport.

The airport was originally built in 1940 as Goodyear Aircraft Corp. The company donated adjacent land to the United States Navy and was named Naval Air Facility at Litchfield Park where it supported war efforts during World War II. In 1968, Phoenix purchased the airport to serve as a general aviation reliever, and it has grown to what we know it as today.

“The Phoenix Goodyear Airport, with its extensive pilot training, major repair operations and emerging corporate aviation services, is the heart of a major employment corridor in Goodyear,” said Michelle Lawrie, economic development director for the city of Goodyear. “Updating the airport master plan will help chart the course for the future economic growth and prosperity in the region. The city of Goodyear is looking forward to the airport planning process and the positive impact it will have on the community.”

The Federal Aviation Administration recommends airports update their master plans every five to 10 years or as significant changes occur, said Jordan Feld, deputy aviation director for planning and environmental.

Goodyear Airport’s master plan was last updated in 2007 and the update process generally takes about 18 months.

“At a tactical level, the master plan update is critical for making cost-effective, durable, timely and efficient decisions and investments in the airport,” Feld said.

“More globally, the master plan update will provide a road map for future development of the airport so that it meets both the needs of the community as well as brings in new businesses and enhances the community’s economic development opportunities. Phoenix Goodyear Airport provides a vital business and aviation role in the Southwest Valley.”

A consultant team made up of experts from Armstrong Consultants Inc. — a firm that has completed more than 1,200 airport improvement projects at more than 130 airports within the region — Kimley-Horn and Associates, Genesis Consulting Group, Woolpert and Class V Communications worked to create the best, most cost-efficient master plan for Phoenix Goodyear Airport, Charlie McDermott of Armstrong Consultants said, adding that they plan on incorporating the community and their opinions into the plan.

“A key part of the project is the comprehensive public involvement program. This program will consist of stakeholder, advisory committee and public meetings over the course of the study. Update materials and schedules will also be made available on the airport website allowing the communities to be kept informed about the status of the study,” McDermott said.

The consultant team will examine what kind of projects will position Goodyear for more growth and after that, it will look at capital projects, Feld said.

“The first component of the update is understanding current market and aviation demand trends and comparing that with existing facilities,” Feld said.

“The update will look at specific capital projects that should be considered in the planning horizon; these may include new or upgraded taxiway, terminal facility expansion, land acquisition to support and ensure airport compatibility, drainage improvements, improved

Since the last master plan update, the airport has leveraged more than $18 million in state and federal grants to support a variety of capital projects including an aircraft ramp, taxiway, a runway reconstruction or pavement overlays, building maintenance, airfield lighting system upgrades, drainage and environmental projects, and the recent safety area project, which included shifting the runway 300 feet to the south, Goodyear Airport Manager Joe Husband said.

“The Phoenix Goodyear Airport has a long history of serving the aviation community and the West Valley. The master plan update provides the strategy for continuing this impressive and rich legacy,” Husband said.

Airport projects A year ago, Phoenix Goodyear Airport broke ground on its $9.7 million expansion for Lux Air, a fixed-base operator that provides fuel and support services for government, military and emergency medical operations, Husband said.

The 65,000 square feet of three corporate hangars and two large office spaces is expected to open later this year, he said.

Seal cracking begins on Avondale streets Contractor crews working for the city of Avondale began sealing street cracks on more than 27 miles of roadway throughout the city Sept. 12. The work is expected to take three to four weeks. Crews will be working mostly on residential roads and work hours are limited to 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays.

In preparation, the city advises residents to not park on their streets on their scheduled days and that cones and other yielding factors are meant to deter drivers away from the hot tar-like substance.

The city also asks residents to avoid activities where water will run into the street on their scheduled days, and that inclement weather will postpone the project.

Shop with a Cop donations sought The Avondale Police Department is requesting donations for the annual Shop with a Cop event. The annual shopping spree is scheduled for Dec. 10.

The Avondale Police Department is able to provide the Shop with a Cop opportunity to 25 to 30 local youths each year, thanks to contributions from area residents and businesses. Since its inception, the program has helped more than 250 children.

The company distributes food and catering supplies ranging from first-class gourmet meals and alcoholic beverages to hand towels and soap to major airlines such as American Airlines, United Airlines, Delta Air Lines and British Airways and in-flight caterers.

“Our new distribution center is designed to meet our unique business model and foster energy efficiency as well as cost savings,” said Frank Kunz Jr., MLCo’s Phoenix operations manager. “Consolidating our previous facilities will improve inventory management.”

The solar panel covered building includes a two-story office space, a “Kalman” floor (a specialized reinforced shrinkage compensation floor), all LED lighting, a fitness center, a sample test kitchen and dining room to offer customers the opportunity to present new in-flight catering ideas and a 100,000-square-foot freezer.

“The future of the airport corridor is bright,” Goodyear Mayor Georgia Lord said. “This development will further establish the airport’s corporate image, enhancing our recruitment of high-quality businesses that need local access to an airport. The potential for growth surrounding the airport is tremendous, and we are dedicated to working with developers and businesses to make this employment corridor more successful.”

Phoenix defense rises to occasion in win Tonopah Valley scores early, shuts down Bourgade

by Casey Pritchard sports editor

Tonopah Valley was businesslike in its home win against Phoenix Bourgade Catholic Sept. 9. The Phoenix scored three first-half touchdowns, forced a pair of turnovers and held their opponent to just 102 yards of total offense in a 19-0 shutout victory.

“We knew FOOTBALL they were going to come out and be smash mouth, a here-we-come, let’s-go type of team, so we just prepared our guys for it,” Tonopah coach Dustin Johnson said. “We said, ‘They are what they are, there’s no specialty to it, they’re going to try to hit you in the mouth,’ and our guys hit back.”

As good as the Tonopah defense was, it’s ground attack on offense was even better.

The Phoenix amassed 339 total yards, with 324 of those coming on the ground.

Tailback Angelo Anderson rushed 19 times for 204 yards and two touchdowns.

“Our playmakers made plays whenever plays needed to be made, there’s no doubt about that,” Johnson said. “I think Angelo had 50 missed tackles, he was breaking tackles all over the place. He had a great game.”

Anderson is just a sophomore.

“He’s pretty dang good,” Johnson said.

“He’s just hard nosed, he grinds. He’s going to grind for every yard he gets, and every now and then, he’s going to break one off.”

OT defensive stand leads Wolves to 1st win Penalty to end regulation helps Estrella to 19-13 win over Apache Junction

by Casey Pritchard sports editor

Fourth quarters have been Estrella Foothills’ demise this season. Apparently, the Wolves like overtime better.

Estrella came up with a fourth down defensive stop to open overtime, then scored in one play on its FOOTBALL possession to beat Apache Junction 19-13 Sept. 9. It was the Wolves’ first win.

“We needed it, and it feels great,” Estrella coach Lamar Early said. “It does, it feels great. The adversity we’ve been going through with injuries and numbers, whatever reason, these guys stuck to it and there’s no quit in them. They’re going to bring it.”

Estrella was close in the fourth quarter in each of its first two games before succumbing to double-digit defeats, then lost by three points in its third game. This View photo by Mike Rincon

Tonopah Valley aiming for return to finals Lady Phoenix to face stiffer competition in 2016

by Casey Pritchard sports editor

Tonopah Valley was one set away from the promised land last year, a state title. If the Lady Phoenix want to get back there this season, it’s going to take an even stronger effort.

Four seniors graduated from last year’s state runners-up team, and the competition will be tougher this season after the Arizona Interscholastic Association’s division VOLLEYBALL realignment.

“We didn’t move, but everybody came back to us, so it’s a little tougher schedule,” Tonopah Valley coach Ed Andersson said.

The Lady Phoenix went 24-5 last year, losing to Pinon in three sets in the Division V state championship game.

Instead of Division V, which was the lowest division last year, Tonopah will play in 2A. It’s still the fifth division from the top, but teams such as Parker, which was the No. 1 seed in Division III last year, will be competing with Tonopah in 2A. That makes it a much tougher route to the championship.

“Our goal right now is to win every game we play and be section champions to get an automatic bid back into state,” Andersson said. “We have to get past Parker and Trivium [Prep] in our section this year.”

Wellton Antelope, Kingman Academy and Bullhead City Mohave Accelerated are the other three teams in the West Region. Region play starts Sept. 22 when Tonopah travels to Trivium Prep.

The Lady Phoenix started the season with four wins in their first five matches. The first week featured three contests, and was a little up and down, Andersson said.

“In the loss to Glendale Prep, we had no energy on the court at all,” Andersson said. “We turned it around and played ALA [ Phoenix Arizona Lutheran Academy] the next night, went five games and pulled out the win. For some reason, it’s hit or miss with this group so far.”

Andersson said the loss to Glendale Prep wasn’t because the Lady Griffins were much better than Tonopah, but because Tonopah didn’t play very well.

“Everybody was off,” Andersson said. “It was one of those stat days you don’t even want to look at.”

Tonopah has a relatively new lineup after graduating four seniors, which has made the team dynamic slow in building, Andersson said.

“The underclassmen are a little quiet,” Andersson said.

“They don’t want to speak up because I have five seniors this year.”

Four of the seniors are captains: Christina Renteria, Naomi Dalley, Edith Alvarez and Caitlynn Williams.

“They’re decent leaders if they speak up, it’s just the energy level this year compared to last year is lacking a little bit,” Andersson said. “So, we’re working on that.”

The fifth senior is Savannah Davis, who moved up from JV. She plays libero. The other libero is junior Destiny Hernandez.

“They trade off and on depending on which one is hot that game,” Andersson said.

The thunder Tonopah’s power comes from Renteria and returning sophomore Taytum Brito. Renteria had 19 kills in the

TAYTUM BRITO of Tonopah Valley bumps the ball Sept. 1 against Arizona Lutheran Academy. The Lady Phoenix, last year’s state runners-up in Division V, are looking for a return trip to the state championship game. victory against Arizona Lutheran.

“She can probably out jump anybody,” Andersson said.

“She’s our powerhouse hitter right now, leading the team in kills.”

Brito, who is an outside hitter, was third on the team in kills as a freshman last year. This season has not started out as well.

“She was hot during the summer, then cooled down a bit once the season started,” Andersson said. “So, we’re trying to get her back on track.”

Dalley and Alvarez are both setters. Against Arizona Lutheran, Dalley had 57 sets and 15 assists with only two errors, Andersson said.

“She’s our main setter, and Edith backs her up pretty well,” Andersson said.

Andersson likes to run both a 6-2 offense and a 5-1, but his decision is generally determined by the flow of the game and how his hitters are doing, he said.

“I would prefer a 6-2 so I have three strong hitters up front, but if one of our hitters is off, I can get away with going to a 5-1,” Andersson said.

Williams is a middle hitter. She’s coming off an ankle injury over the summer and is still getting back to 100 percent, Andersson said.

“She is doing well, she is getting our blocks for us,” Andersson said. “The hitting is coming kind of slow because she’s not moving as well as she did last year, but once that ankle heals up, she’ll get back on par, too.”

The Lady Phoenix hosted Phoenix Christian Tuesday.

The result was unavailable at press time. Tonopah has its first tournament this weekend, playing in the Wolves Classic at Estrella Foothills Friday and Saturday. Next week, region play begins.

Verrado took 32 seconds to move the ball 80 yards, thanks to huge gains by receivers Marcus Rivera, for 38 yards, PLC and Jonah Alicea, for 31 yards and a touchdown. Quarterback Maverick Gamez hit Alicea in stride over the middle for the AT TO R N E Y S AT L AW score, cutting the lead to 24-7.

The 31-15 score with 6:02 remaining in the game would be the closest Verrado would get. Williams Field added two more touchdowns to put the game away at 45-15.

Tough offensive night Verrado had two good drives on offense in the game, both leading to touchdowns.

The rest of the night, the Vipers had a hard time getting any rhythm going.

“We just had to get a first, first down every drive,” Wahlstrom said. Once we did that, we were able to move the ball and create tempo, but we couldn’t get enough first downs early.”

The Vipers’ running game was virtually non-existent against Williams Field.

Verrado finished with 31 rushing yards on 16 attempts, 21 of those yards coming from scrambles by Gamez. Jenkins rushed for nine yards on eight attempts, and Donte Richardson, Elijah Johnson and Jimmy Richardson combined for one yard on three carries.

It was the second week in a row Verrado was held in check to open the game.

Wahlstrom said the team just has to figure out a way to get going as soon as the opening whistle blows.

“There’s no thinking [about it], it’s doing,” Wahlstrom said. “The nice thing is we get to look at the film and figure out where we need to get better.

“We’ll get better because of [today].”

Verrado will look to get back into the win column Friday at home against Peoria Liberty (1-2). Liberty is coming off a 34-32 loss to Peoria Sunrise Mountain.

Hands (From Page 13) anytime we can do that, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re successful.â&#x20AC;?

The Knightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first points of the second half came off a fumble recovery by Westview outside linebacker Ramon Vega on a handoff exchange between Horizonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gregory and Brady, which put Westview at its own 31-yard line.

The seized opportunity resulted in a 34-yard field goal by Knightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; kicker Luis Peraza-Ortiz to make it 24-14 with 11:56 left in the fourth quarter.

The Huskiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; following drive had the makings of a potential comeback, as a great kickoff return by running back Dylan Lizarraga put them at their own 41. In a drive that featured a 44-yard completion from Gregory to receiver Jake Hess, the Huskies got down to the Knightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; seven-yard line. However, on fourthand-two, Westview free safety Daniel Gonzalez picked off Gregory in the end zone to give the Knights the ball back with a little over nine minutes left in the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh man, I was just dropping back and I saw him put his hand up to throw the ball and he kept dropping back and back pedaling,â&#x20AC;? Gonzalez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then, the ball just luckily got in my hands. It felt great.â&#x20AC;?

It would be deja vu on the next drive, as Vasko scored on another long touchdown run, 64 yards to be exact, which extended the lead to 31-14 with 7:17 remaining in the last quarter.

Westview still wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done scoring. Arechiga added a long touchdown run of his own from 59 yards out with 4:11 left in the fourth quarter, making it 38-14.

The Huskies scored their lone touchdown of the second half on a 23-yard run from Brady, his second touchdown of the game, with 2:20 left. After a failed two-point conversion, that would be the end of the scoring, 38-20 Westview. Brady finished the game with 23 carries for 135 yards and two touchdowns.

While the win was nice, Gehrts said there are still things that happened out on the field he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pleased with. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to execute better,â&#x20AC;? Gehrts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happy with the way we executed on both sides of the ball and special teams. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to get better at that, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be our focus.â&#x20AC;?

Nonetheless, being able to get the win in its home opener and hand Horizon its first loss was something that the team could be proud of, Gehrts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was great,â&#x20AC;? Gehrts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we always try to do, go 1-0 every week, so we got one this week, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad it happened.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels amazing for the fans to be able to come out and for them to support the way they did is a good feeling,â&#x20AC;? Vasko said.

Westview will be at home again this Friday, as it hosts Gilbert Highland.

OT (From Page 11) time, the Wolves were able to finish things off. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We still made some mental mistakes, but they stayed with it, they stayed with it, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of,â&#x20AC;?

Early said.

Estrella got the benefit of a Prospectorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; penalty at the end of regulation. Wolvesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; quarterback Tyler Godfrey was thrown to the ground after going out of bounds as time expired in the fourth quarter, which is a 15-yard latehit infraction. The penalty was assessed in the overtime session, and Estrella won the coin toss, which proved to be a big advantage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had two choices, we get the ball first-and-five, or they get the ball first-and-10, but now they have 25 yards to go,â&#x20AC;? Early said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We chose to give them the ball first.â&#x20AC;?

Apache Junction converted a fourth-and-five from the 20, but on fourth-and-goal from the three-yard line, Estrella stopped the Prospectors inches short of the goal line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was huge,â&#x20AC;? Early said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had some

TYLER VASKO, 10, of Westview tries to slip away from a leg tackle Sept. 9 against Horizon. Vasko had 28 carries for 265 yards, as the Knights totaled 589 yards in a 38-20 victory over the Huskies. Westview improved its record to 2-1 with the win.

Second half

Apache Junction responded with a touchdown to tie the score, and went for the two-point conversion instead of kicking the extra point. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They went for two and we stopped them,â&#x20AC;? Early said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take it. I was surprised, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take it.â&#x20AC;?

Apache Junction had a chance to win the game with 45 seconds remaining in regulation when it lined up for a 39-yard field goal, but the Wolvesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; swarmed in and blocked the attempt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was huge,â&#x20AC;? Early said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Again, just the fight.

They stayed and fought, fought, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy with.â&#x20AC;?

The victory stopped Estrellaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three-game losing streak to start the year. The Wolves have two games remaining before opening region play against Youngker Sept. 30.

Despite a losing record right now, winning the region would guarantee Estrella another playoff berth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have more confidence going into [Gilbert] Higley, and also region, try to make it to playoffs five years in a row,â&#x20AC;? Godfrey said.

Estrella travels to Higley at 7 p.m. Friday.

The teams were tied 7-7 at halftime, and Estrella struck the first blow of the third quarter to take the lead.

However, the snap on the extra point was bad, so the Wolvesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; advantage was only 13-7.

breakdowns in defense tonight, but to forget all of that and come up with a fourth-down stop, that was huge.

They stayed with it.â&#x20AC;?

With momentum clearly on Estrellaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side, it wasted no time ending the game. On the Wolvesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first play, Godfrey ran an option read 10 yards to the end zone, sending Estrellaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s players storming onto the field in celebration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The veer has been working the past two weeks, and they lined up strong on the left and I saw it on the outside, it was wide open,â&#x20AC;? Godfrey said.

After making the defensive stand, Godfrey said he knew the Wolvesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offense would finish off the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had the momentum after we stopped them on the halfyard line,â&#x20AC;? Godfrey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew with our play calling, and our drive to win, especially after the crisis Clayton [Calvelage] went through, I knew weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d pull through and get it done.â&#x20AC;?

Calvelage suffered a neck injury in the fourth quarter and had to be taken off the field on a stretcher. There was no fracture.
