Mister, a 23-year-old Arabian horse, is recuperating this week after an innocent adventure landed him in muddy water.

Sometime before noon on Oct. 7, Mister escaped from a pasture near 129th and Southern avenues when another horse pried open a gate.

He was walking in an irrigation ditch, lazily eating grass when he came to the road and tried to jump out.

“When he reared up, his back feet slipped out from under him and he just went feet first underneath the road,” his owner, Linda Setterer, said. “So there he was, stuck.”

A neighbor’s mother noticed Mister stuck in the ditch, and called Setterer. She immediately did a headcount and saw one horse was missing, she said.

“I got up to the road, and there he was,” Setterer said.

Two cars had already stopped to help, and Setterer called her vet and rescue crews.

“All my neighbors jumped into the water with their good shoes on and their jeans on to see how we were going to get this horse out,” she said.

A fence along the ditch was removed and the rescuers tried to use a truck to pull the horse out, but it didn’t work.

“The more pressure we put, the more he struggled and got his hips and big butt stuck (See Horse on Page 3)

Former student accused of school threats

by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

A former Westview High School student was arrested Oct. 6 for allegedly making threats on social media that referenced students and faculty at the Avondale campus, officials said.

Alonzo Vargas, 18, of Goodyear was booked into Maricopa County Fourth Avenue Jail, said Sgt. Mathew Hintz, a spokesman with the Avondale Police Department.

He faces felony and misdemeanor charges related to disrupting an educational facility, threatening and intimidating and committing a hoax, Hintz said.

The posts were discovered and investigated in conjunction with recent “scary clown” threats that have been occurring across the nation, Hintz said.

Alonzo Vargas A letter sent out Sept.

27 to parents in the Tolleson Union High School District stressed the importance of talking with students about making such threats.

“Quite frankly, this needs to stop and it needs to stop now,” the letter stated. “The education of your students is negatively impacted whenever we have to react to these threats; it is disruptive and a wasteful use of time.”

The letter warned that students could face suspension, expulsion and potential arrest if they are involved in making threats.

“Please inform your students that ‘liking’ or ‘sharing’ school threat posts may lead to disciplinary action by the school and result in a potential police investigation,” the letter stated.

Threats trending

Police also investigated threats made on Twitter Oct. 4 referencing Agua Fria High School in Avondale, but they were deemed not credible, Hintz said.

Posts also mentioned people in clown costumes going to the school at Dysart Road and Riley Drive, but some had a more “sinister tone,” Principal Ernest Molina said Oct. 5 in a message sent to parents.

Police concluded the posts posed no direct threat to the school, Hintz said.

“We want to assure students and families that first, we take the safety and security of all of our students and faculty seriously,” Molina’s message stated. “Additionally, we have requested an increased presence from Avondale PD around the campus for the coming days both during the school day as well as after hours.”

Social media posts regarding people dressed in clown costumes threatening schools have occurred the last few weeks across the nation.

“The good news for many districts is that we are improving our training to educate kids about this general problem with social media abuse, and the community, law enforcement and our students are responding to help us solve these cases through sharing of real time information,” said Dennis Runyan, superintendent of the Agua Fria Union High School District.

Remains (From Page 1) Two months later, he was killed when his jet crashed about 20 miles northwest of Baghdad. Gilbert’s actions leading up to his death saved multiple lives.

It was Nov. 27, 2006.

Gilbert and his wingman were flying back to base when they got a call that an AH-6 Little Bird helicopter had been shot down. Enemy insurgents had the crew, along with coalition forces called in for support, outnumbered and pinned down.

The two F-16 pilots were almost out of fuel, but immediately changed course to help.

By the time Gilbert was able to make his first approach, the calls for support had grown more urgent.

Insurgents were attacking with truck-mounted heavy machine guns, rocket-propelled grenades, small arms fire and mortars.

He launched a low-altitude strafing attack against enemy vehicles, destroying one truck and dispersing others. During his second pass, Gilbert’s jet struck the ground at a high speed, and reports said he died on impact.

Al Qaeda insurgents removed his body before U.S.

forces were able to get to the scene, but a small amount of DNA left behind allowed the Air Force to confirm his death.

A funeral, with full military honors, was held Dec. 11, 2006, at Arlington National Cemetery without a body.

Gilbert is survived by his wife, Ginger Gilbert Ravella; two sons, Boston and Greyson; and three daughters, Isabella, Aspen and Annalise.

The Air Force awarded Gilbert a Distinguished Flying Cross with Valor, a Purple Heart and an Air Medal with one oak leaf cluster.

Searching for closure The Iraqi War came to an end in 2011, but Gilbert’s family fought to keep his case open. The undersecretary of defense agreed to continue searching for his remains in cooperation with the Iraqi government. “We honor the ultimate sacrifice Maj. Gilbert made for our nation. His family deserves nothing less than our best effort to recover his remains and return them to his loved ones,� then-Air Force Secretary Michael Donley said.

In 2012, a small amount of remains was recovered and interred at Arlington National Cemetery, bringing additional closure to the Gilbert family.

Then two months ago, an Iraqi tribal leader approached a U.S. military adviser near al Taqaddam,

MAJ. TROY GILBERT stands on the ladder of an F-16 at Luke Air Force Base. Gilbert was killed Nov. 27, 2006, in an F-16 crash 20 miles northwest of Balad Air Base in Iraq during a deployment with the 309th Fighter Squadron at Luke.

Iraq, claiming he had the remains and gear worn by a pilot who crashed in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Evidence was turned over to the Air Force, which confirmed through DNA testing that it was Gilbert.

His remains, along with a flight suit, jacket and parachute harness, were turned over to U.S. military advisers in Iraq and prepared to be brought back to the United States.

His family, base officials and senior Air Force leaders were on hand Oct. 3 at Dover Air Force Base in Dover, Del., to welcome Gilbert home. “The memory of my five children watching their father’s flag-draped transfer case being unloaded from the cargo hold and carried by his brothersin-arms back to American soil renews my hope for all mankind,� Gilbert Ravella said. “Attending the dignified transfer at Dover Monday night was the closest we have been to Troy in 10 years. That was bittersweet.�

At the request of his family, Gilbert’s remains will be interred at Arlington National Cemetery in the coming months with the remains previously recovered in 2006 and 2012. “As our military promised, no one was left behind on the field of battle,� Gilbert Ravella said. “Troy is home.�

MISTER lies sedated while rescuers attempt to free him Oct. 7 from a ditch near 129th and Southern avenues.

Horse (From Page 1) under the canal,” Setterer said.

One of the neighborhood girls stroked Mister’s head, trying to keep him calm during the rescue.

Then Dr. Lloyd Kloppe, a veterinarian from the Durango Equine Veterinary Clinic in Buckeye, sedated the horse so he wouldn’t struggle, Setterer said.

“Every one of my neighbor men all got together with the vet and they were able to pull him 10 feet out into the ditch,” she said.

One of the neighbors drove his forklift over to the canal, and it was used to lift Mister out.

“He had an inch on each side between the front and the back legs, and he weaseled that forklift right in there, picked him up and brought him out of the canal,”

Setterer said.

As Mister recuperated in the pasture, the neighbors put the fence back up.

“All these wonderful neighbors went and put everything back — pulled the fence and screwed it tight,” she said. “I just can’t tell you about my neighbors.

Without asking, they jumped in to help.”

Mister ended up with a minor leg injury and some scrapes.

“It was like a person sitting on their legs and their legs fall asleep — we didn’t know how bad the muscles were torn,” Setterer said. “He was like a new baby foal standing up for the first time, and he was drunk on top of it. When he stood up, he was kind of wiggly, but he got his feet underneath him and everybody clapped.”

In his younger days, Mister was a police horse and a therapy animal for people with disabilities.

“He’s doing wonderful. He’s eating,” Setterer said.

And she already bought a bull snap to secure the gate, she said.

Avondale residents will be paying more for water and sewer services starting Jan. 1, 2017, if the City Council approves a recommendation from city staff.

The increases, which average 6 percent for water and sewer, will be the second rate hikes in a year and part of a series of increases the city is planning to cover operating and maintenance costs and capital projects and bolster the reserve funds for the utilities.

According to the city, a monthly bill for the most commonly used amount of service will go up about $3.

The City Council is expected to approve a notice of intent to raise rates during its Oct. 17 meeting.

Two public informational sessions on the proposal have been scheduled for Oct. 25 at City Hall, 11435 W. Civic Center Drive, Avondale — a “lunch and learn” meeting at noon in the Sonoran Conference Room and a session at 6 p.m. in the Mojave Conference Room.

A public hearing and adoption of the rate ordinance is scheduled for the council’s Nov. 21 meeting.

In March, rates went up an average of 7.5 percent for water and 6 percent for sewer after the City Council approved the first rate hikes in six years.

At that time, the council also endorsed a multi-year plan for additional increases, but the council has to formally approve those increases each year.

At the Oct. 3 council meeting, Abbe Yacoben, the city’s finance and budget

director, reiterated the need for the rate increases, which she said will fix funds that don’t have enough money to cover depreciating assets.

Yacoben said the water fund shows a loss of $2.4 million and the sewer fund a loss of $3.6 million this year.

The council is playing catch-up with the utility rates since fees were not increased during the economic downturn between 2010 and 2015.

“We need to get back on a schedule of increasing rates to get the funds back on a positive net position,” Yacoben told the council.

The plan for future rates includes continuing the 6 percent hikes for water and sewer yearly through 2021. Then in 2022, the plan is to increase water rates by 2 percent and sewer rates by 6 percent.

While noting that unforeseen events can change things, Yacoben said the rate hikes will get the utility funds back to positive cash flow in 2023.

The plan keeps in place a tiered rate structure, with higher rates for larger users and a “lifeline” rate for smaller users on fixed incomes.

According to Alicia Schomer, Avondale’s customer service manager, the most common bill for users of 9,000 gallons of water will have a $1.33 increase a month for a total of $25.80.

Average users of 6,000 units of wastewater will see a $1.85 increase for a total of $29.39, Schomer said.

A survey of rates in other Valley cities shows Avondale’s water rates are below average and sewer charges are above average, she said.

For information on the rate changes, visit www.avondale.org or contact the city at 623-333-2000.

A 40-year-old man was arrested Oct. 5 near 343rd Avenue and Buckeye Road in Tonopah on an outstanding warrant issued for an animal cruelty conviction, officials said.

Cory Romanoff was taken into custody by the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Apprehension Street Team, said Officer Courtney Palma, an MCSO spokeswoman.

“Due to the longevity that he’s been out and had this warrant was the reason that they were called out,” Palma said.

Romanoff was initially arrested in September 2011 after deputies Cory Romanoff found two emaciated horses on his Buckeye property.

He was convicted in November 2015 on two counts of animal cruelty, and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest, court records state.

USDA issues recall for chicken nuggets View report

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service recalled 132,520 pounds of fully cooked chicken nugget products that may be contaminated with hard plastic. The fully cooked Panko Chicken Nuggets were produced on July 18, 2016.

The 5-pound bags containing “Tyson Fully Cooked Panko Chicken Nuggets” with a “best used by” date of July 18, 2017, and case codes 2006SDL03 and 2006SDL33 are subject to recall.

The problem was discovered after the firm received consumer complaints regarding foreign material contamination in chicken nugget products. According to Tyson Foods, the plastic material ranged in size from 21mm in length and 6.5mm in diameter and may have come from a round, hard plastic rod used to connect a plastic transfer belt.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of the products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.

Consumers who have purchased the products are urged not to consume them. The products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.

View report

The third annual Buckeye Marathon is coming up, and if you skipped out on the last two years, this may be your year.

The Buckeye Marathon will take place at 8 a.m. Dec. 10 starting at the Sun City Festival baseball field and ending on the runway at the Buckeye Municipal Airport.

Although the marathon doesn’t happen until December, now is the time to train and register as the registration fees will increase after Oct. 16.

Much like the runners, the city of Buckeye is also preparing, said Miranda Gomez, Buckeye’s recreation manager.

“The city begins planning for the event in January. We host committee meetings monthly, which involves staff members, public safety, council members, community members and sponsors. The event is constantly looking to involve additional groups in this great event,” Gomez said.

The 26.2-mile marathon trail has undergone some revisions to the previous years’ after marathon competitors expressed concern, course architect Jeff Crane said, adding the route is now cleaner because two hills and turnarounds have been eliminated.

“I think the runners will love it,” Crane said in a press release. “Any time you simplify the course, that is going to make it better for runners and therefore the potential for it to be faster.”

Many runners could see the Buckeye Marathon’s downhill pattern and loss of 500 feet in elevation as attractive and persuasive, and having the marathon take place at the airport allows that, Gomez said.

“The airport has many benefits. First, it is a large enough space to host the large crowd that the event draws with plenty of room for parking,” she said. “The airport allows us to utilize Sun Valley Parkway, which provides an attractive, downhill, mostly straight course for runners.”

The Buckeye Marathon is a qualifier

New obstacle course added A new obstacle course has been added to the Buckeye Marathon festivities for runners and watchers alike.

Peter Egyed, owner of CrossFit Fury in Goodyear, agreed to construct the obstacle course, which will be located near the finish line at the Buckeye Municipal Airport, said Miranda Gomez, Buckeye’s recreation manager. “[The obstacle] will test balance, coordination and agility, as well as stamina and cardio-respiratory

endurance, “Egyed said in a press release.

The one-mile obstacle course will be available for all ages to test their physical fitness, and will consist of six to 10 obstacles, Egyed said.

“You will see footwork drills like a tire field, balance beams and rope zig-zag course, while mixing in the strength components, such as wall climb, hay bale obstacles and a Styrofoam mountain,” he said.

for the world-famous Boston Marathon among other national races, and is certified through the United States Track and Field Federation as such, Gomez said.

“The marathon came to be a part of the city’s participation in the Let’s Move!

Campaign initiative, a national initiative from Michelle Obama to get our cities, towns and counties taking the charge to get people moving,” she said. “We wanted to host a running event in Buckeye as part of the movement that would encourage families in and around Buckeye to get moving, and it quickly morphed into the major event that it is today.”

Because of the marathon’s popularity, scale and qualifying attributes, safety precautions are put in place in order to prevent any disasters, Gomez said.

“In addition to our monthly committee meetings, we also host an Emergency Planning Committee, which establishes the emergency action plan,” she said. “The committee is comprised of public safety members, event planning staff and council members. The team ensures that proper security and emergency services are on-site to address any unforeseen issues that could arise throughout the event.”

Besides the marathon, the Buckeye event will also host a half marathon, 10K, 5K and one-mile fun run, which is more geared toward children and families to run together, all of which will take place at the Buckeye Municipal Airport, Gomez said.

Until Oct. 16, the prices are $80 for the marathon, $50 for the half marathon, $40 for the 10K, $25 for the 5K and $20 for the one-mile fun run. Prices will increase steadily as it gets closer to the event.

All event proceeds benefit Buckeye’s Youth Scholarship Fund where children are given up to $100 to fund recreational activities, Gomez said, adding that hundreds of children have been helped and more than $18,000 has been raised as a result of the marathon.

All participants will receive a shirt and a finishing medal. Awards will be given to the top three finishers in all age categories, and the race finishes with a party.

“We look forward to hosting this event each year,” Gomez said. “It’s a fast track and a great time of year to run in Buckeye with beautiful running weather.”

MY VIEWPOINT

GRANLUND'S OPINION — PoliticalCartoons.com

EDITORIAL

Don’t let fear interfere with your life span I have a mammogram scheduled for Thursday and I’m scared to death.

I’m not afraid of the pain, I’ve had mammograms before, I know just how unpleasant they are.

I’m afraid of what the screening might find.

I watched my mother die of breast cancer at a very young age. She was just 35 when she was diagnosed and 43 when she finally succumbed.

Like me, she was afraid. That’s why she didn’t say anything right away when she found a lump in her right breast.

She was afraid because she watched her father die of colon cancer. I can only assume, that like me, she would have rather not known what was growing inside her.

But the survival instinct is a strong thing and so eventually she made an appointment to have that lump Cary Hines checked out. Seemingly overnight, she had a radical mastectomy. She went from having two nearly identical breasts to one, a Frankensteinian line of stainless steel staples where the other breast had once been.

She started chemotherapy. She lost the hair on her head, but even worse for her, she lost her eyebrows and eyelashes, too. Every trace of femininity she possessed was now gone.

She took to wearing turbans because the wigs were just too itchy. Sometimes she didn’t even make it out of the University of Michigan cancer center without vomiting into a trash can in front of complete strangers after her latest chemo treatment. Every ounce of dignity was stolen from her.

But it was all just a matter of time.

The cancer had already entered her lymph system.

Had she spoken up when she first found the lump, when it was still localized to the breast, she might still be here today.

But she was afraid.

After watching her once strong, vibrant father reduced to skin and bones with a colostomy bag, hardly able to stand on his own, who could blame her? He lost the battle anyway, wouldn’t it be better to just not know?

But not all cancers are created equally.

The American Cancer Society puts the five-year relative survival rate of patients diagnosed with Stage I breast cancer at 100 percent. That means that people who have that cancer are, on average, just as likely to live for at least five years after being diagnosed as people who don’t have that cancer. According to the ACS, many live much longer. Stage II breast cancer comes with a 93 percent fiveyear relative survival rate. Stage III sits at 72 percent, and metastatic or Stage IV drops to a staggering 22 percent.

My mother actually beat the odds, fighting it for eight years, but it was a constant battle without a moment’s rest. By the end, she wore a machine that administered an experimental chemotherapy directly into her heart via a catheter. She had a feeding tube as the cancer had worked its way into her throat and wrapped around her esophagus, constricting it to the diameter of a plastic coffee stirrer. She would eventually die of suffocation or pneumonia, as her lungs filled with fluid she was not able to expectorate. Her doctor, who shared with us his fear of drowning, would not let her suffer that way. He increased her morphine.

We said our goodbyes, a farewell she could not return.

Breast cancer doesn’t have to be a death sentence. But ignoring it out of fear almost certainly is.

I’m overdue on my mammogram. It’s been years since I’ve had one. I’m afraid. But the survival instinct is strong, and I’m now more afraid of the alternative.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

It’s an annual campaign to increase awareness about the disease, specifically that early detection is key to survival, and regular mammograms are key to early detection.

And for many of us, that we can’t let fear interfere with our life spans.

My mother died from breast cancer, but fear is what killed her.

I will no longer give in to that fear.

Neither should you.

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.

Editor’s note: The West Valley View will not run any Letters to the Editor criticizing candidates in the Nov. 2 issue because it is the last issue before the general election on Nov. 8 and candidates would not have a chance to defend themselves.

Make room in the basket Editor: Despite being petrified at the risk of incurring the wrath of HRC devotees I exercise my First Amendment right with this “tirade,” and jump into the “deplorable” basket.

Look no further than Hillary’s record, her long history of abuse of power, deception and corruption.

Not even Obama can top her lifelong anti-freedom record. In her campaign for the presidency she embraces a confiscatory firearms destruction program modeled on Australia’s plan, where a million firearms were taken from law abiding REGISTERED and LICENSED owners and destroyed. If she could Clinton would ban every gun,destroy every magazine and run Americas entire law-abiding firearms industry into the ground.

Look at her scandal-ridden tenure as the U.S. secretary of state, defined by a pattern of mocking the rule of law, destroying our national security.

The symbol of her tenure as secretary of state was one of lawlessness, corruption and lies.

As president her abuse of power would spread to every level of government. There is only personal greed, a lust for power and unbelievable arrogance in Hillary’s behavior.

She is devoid of any sense of public service. Obama’s weakening of the U.S. military will be amplified in a Clinton presidency.

And this is the same women who lied to the families of the fallen heroes of Benghazi while standing in front of their flagdraped caskets, the same women who did nothing to protect these brave Americans when they pleaded for help.

Obama’s post 2008 avowal to “fundamentally transform the United States of America” was a declaration of cultural war which will be increased if Clinton becomes president.

As always with respect from a self serving, antiquated, deplorable vet.

DJ Hammond Buckeye

Trump is a true leader Editor: Something we have seen increasingly transpire over the last several years is greed, justice not being

fully rendered and selfish ambition of President Obama, of many of his appointees and rampant in his administration: James 3:16 and Habakkuk 1:4. Something we have been sorely lacking in our nation and in many countries around the world are peace and trust: Isaiah 32:17-18. President Obama and Mrs. Clinton have been deceitful: Proverbs 20:17.

If Mr. Trump is victorious in the presidential election this November our country will once again have a true leader. We will have a stronger and more secure, honorable nation. Laws will be enforced and apply to all equally. Standards will be raised.

Our nation will be regarded with greater esteem by our allies.

Enemies of freedom will know us as a force to be feared and respected: Isaiah 32:1-5, Proverbs 29:18, Ecclesiastes 10:2.

for our kids.

Today’s marijuana is far more potent than it was in 1960s, and it now comes in the form of gummy bears and chocolates.

In Colorado where recreational marijuana is legal, the average marijuana-laced candy is 30% more potent than a joint from the 60s, and up to 80% and 90% in some cases. If the authors of Proposition 205 aren’t marketing to children, why are they making high-potency, marijuana-laced candy more accessible to children? Because the reality is that legalization will lead to increased accessibility. Just look at what’s happening in Colorado with teen use now 74% higher than the national average, and hospitals seeing a surge in accidental consumption among 3 to 7 year olds.

Now I know what you’re thinking — if kids and teenagers are being exposed to and accessing marijuana in Colorado, their parents must not be doing a good job.

Let me ask you this, how sure are you your child won’t come across it at the babysitter’s, a friend’s house, or on the school grounds?

Do you want to take that chance?

We should learn from Colorado’s mistake. Vote No on Prop 205.

Clinton is a corrupt, incompetent, despicable individual who has no accomplishments and treats people like an old sponge that smells with bacteria and has to be thrown away. She has no record worthy of anyone’s vote. Mr.Trump is a breath of fresh air and one who has made many accomplisments in the private sector. We do not need the same old tiresome people like Clinton.

Hillary said she had 1 server and 1 device? Another lie, as have been proven she had multiple servers and 7 different phones and tablets all running off the server she lied about! Hillary and many Liberals have been keeping the black population uninformed, poor and on the Liberal plantation, with the use of food stamps and welfare, and lies! And you call Trump a “bigot” Then Ed quotes the NYT the most Liberal un- newspaper in the country in my opinion, by saying Trump is a liar. Hillary says she can solve all of our problems, which she and Obama has created if elected, well what has she been doing for 30 plus years in politics?

The answer is lying, cheating, and stealing! Ed states that Trump is involved in pay for play? Hillary owns pay for play, she wrote the book, accepting big money from countries that have sworn to destroy us, and this also has been proven!

Endorsement from View is sad Editor: I am very sorry to hear that the West Valley View is not supporting Donald Trump for president.

You state the reason is, because he has no political experience.

You state that Hillary is qualified because she graduated from Yale with honors ? Oh and by the way, being a senator does not prepare you to be president. Most of americans that support Trump do so because he is not tied to the political machine in Washington.

He has not been bought off. Hillary has been bought off by her donors and Wall Street.

We are sick of how Washington has governed this country. Obama has basically ruled like a king by executive order. Do we want more of this ? We will get more and a lot more if Hillary is elected.

Trump is not the perfect candidate. We all know that. Be he has ideas and plans that could be a huge game changer in as far as what direction this country goes.

In addition I have also worked at the polls here in Arizona for several years for little remuneration. I am also a husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather.

I would very much like to hear what Mr. Azzarello’s service to our country has been — aside from his contributions(?) to this forum and his playing bocci.

I agree that our country is severely divided but if we judge why, just by this forum alone, I am sure that you shall find that most of the divisive comments come from the “conservatives� and not the liberal progressive side — just as most of the insults (“Crooked,� �Lying,� and on and on) come from the conservative candidate while the moderate candidate just repeats the conservative candidates words as proof of their inconsistency. The thought that our country should return to the good old days of the 50’s and 60’s is ridiculous because the country has progressed (oops, there’s that word again) through innovation and improvements.

In closing I would just like to note how many of the news media, including this paper, have declined to endorse Mr. Trump (Mr. Azzarello’s preference) because he is clearly unqualified for so many reasons.

business using his own money and skills, something most career politicians have never done. Mr. Trump is a leader who will surround himself with decent, competent, knowledgeable people who have a better vision for the country than his opponent.

Even though Hillary has experience it is quite flawed as evidenced by someone who worked closely with her, General Colin Powell, who commented “everything she touches, she kind of screws up with hubris.� Putting our national security at risk, lying to Congress and orchestrating character assassinations of women that her husband abused is the kind of experience that would disqualify anybody but Hillary.

Commenting that you would have endorsed any of the other Republican candidates is sour grapes and reflects your disrespect for the tremendous number of people who voted for him and a tone deafness to what is important to most people. The people want Mr. Trump not a career politician.

If one does not consent to a search the officer must get a search warrant. However, they can bypass the search warrant if the officer has probable cause. Probable cause means police officer must have some facts or evidence to believe you’re involved in criminal activity. An officer doesn’t have probable cause based on just a hunch.

The deadline has passed for people to put their names in for school board seats, and only two West Valley districts ended up with contested races.

Forty-three governing board seats were up for grabs in 14 West Valley school districts. The deadline to turn paperwork in was Aug. 10.

Only voters in the Buckeye Union High School District and the Litchfield Elementary District will have a choice on who represents their schools.

Nine districts had just enough people sign up to fill their vacant seats, while four are still lacking enough candidates.

The Liberty and Litchfield elementary districts are missing candidates for their one two-year seat, while the Tolleson and Union elementary districts have nobody signed up to fill one of their four-year seats.

Elections with uncontested races were canceled Sept. 21 by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, and the candidates were appointed to serve terms starting in January 2017.

overrides, bonds Majority of measures wouldn’t raise tax rates

by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

Six traditional school districts in the West Valley and West-MEC, a public district that offers career and technical education programs, will have budget measures on their ballots for the Nov. 8 election.

Two are seeking approval for bonds to pay for new construction, updates to current campuses and items such as buses and technology. The other five are asking voters to renew maintenance and operations overrides to fund programs and services already in place.

Since the overrides are all renewals of measures previously approved by voters, they wouldn’t cost taxpayers in those districts any more money than last year.

A bond measure in the Pendergast Elementary District also wouldn’t raise the tax rate in that area, because the new bonds would be issued as previous bonds mature, according to the district.

The only measure that would increase the tax rate is a bond requested by WestMEC, which would cost taxpayers an additional $6 a year for a house valued at $100,000.

West-MEC, which stands for Western Maricopa Education Center, serves students at six campuses across the Valley.

Its boundaries span 3,685 square miles, and member districts include the Agua Fria, Buckeye and Tolleson union high school districts, the Saddle Mountain Unified School District and the Pendergast Elementary District.

Early voting starts today, and polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day. To find your polling place, visit recorder.maricopa.gov/pollingplace.

The recent firings of Arizona Diamondbacks Manager Chip Hale and General Manager Dave Stewart have whipped the fan base into a frenzy.

Not everyone is thrilled with another front office/ managerial change after just two seasons, but it’s not exactly unexpected. The D-backs again had an underwhelming season, finishing 10 games worse than their 2015 campaign, even after adding Zack Greinke and Shelby Miller to bolster the team’s weakness.

Two years on the job is no time at all, even in the impatient world of sports. Yes, constant management turnover will hinder the franchise from ever building sustained success, but keeping unqualified people in those positions is just as dangerous to the team’s future.

Shane McOwen Dave Stewart had never held a general managing position in Major League Baseball before coming to the Diamondbacks, hand selected by Chief Baseball Operator Tony La Russa, and it showed. It never felt like Stewart was particularly good at his job, or even liked coming to work, as evidenced by his exiting comments.

“It is what it is,” Stewart said. “It’s that side of the business. To be honest with you, I’m kind of relieved.

Quite frankly, I’ve got better things to do.”

Who can blame him for being relieved? He was constantly being raked over the coals by national media for basically every personnel decision he made, most notoriously for the Shelby Miller trade. He was blasted for that trade before Miller turned in one of the worst pitching performances in recent memory. He was even the subject of a damning quote from a rival general manager, who anonymously told reporters he had to explain to Stewart that the trade he proposed would be an illegal transaction.

Stewart always sounded like he had one foot out the door, never really being committed to his post.

He may have been 100 percent committed to his job, or he might have just been doing his old friend, La Russa, a favor by accepting. Either way, the results were not kind to him.

A lot has been said about the season’s failings not being Hale’s fault, but he never exuded confidence as a manager.

Players are responsible for their own performance, but when things go wrong, it’s a manager’s job to steer the ship away from danger. For whatever reason, Hale couldn’t manage that this season. The D-backs got off to a poor start and never recovered, needing a walk-off win on the last day of the season to avoid finishing last in the division.

It’s been reported that La Russa won’t have as much pull in baseball decisions moving forward, but the team needs to make that crystal clear or the mess will never be cleaned up. Two general manager targets have already declined to interview with the team, Tampa Bay’s Chaim Bloom and former Toronto GM Alex Anthopoulos.

That’s not a good sign of things to come: guys willingly declining an opportunity for promotion.

Who can blame them? Why would anyone want to come into a position only to be handcuffed at doing the job they were hired to do?

The organization is a mess on the field, behind the scenes, everywhere, you name it. The D-backs have failed to finish above .500 for five years, and haven’t done it twice in a row in nine.

The Diamondbacks have to pick people who know what they’re doing, and get out of the way.

After posting record low attendance figures in 2016, the team has to get it right. It literally can’t afford not to.

Verrado football started the season 3-0, with all its wins coming in convincing fashion. However, the Vipers followed that up with three consecutive losses, the last two coming down to the wire. They made sure that wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be the case this time around, as they defeated the Lake Havasu Knights 41-13 Oct. 7.

For Verrado (4-3) and coach Derek Wahlstrom, getting the win against Lake Havasu (3-4), and future games, is all about getting back into the groove they had early on in the season.

FOOTBALL â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just got to find a little bit of mojo again,â&#x20AC;?

Wahlstrom said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the biggest thing, we were playing with a lot of confidence early in the season and the last couple weeks kind of shook us up a little bit. We got to fight through this adversity.â&#x20AC;?

Being able to fight through adversity and earn wins becomes a lot easier when everyone on the team does their part, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly what the Vipers got from their offense, defense and special teams against Lake Havasu. Vipers quarterback Maverick Gamez completed 16 of his 26 passes for 226 yards and two touchdowns, while running back Jaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;tai Jenkins led all rushers with eight carries for 104 yards and a touchdown.

On the defensive side, cornerback Ruben Lebron led the way with three interceptions, to go along with six tackles and a blocked PAT. Linebacker Blake Spear also added six tackles and a fumble recovery for a touchdown, after cornerback Adrian Cracolici forced Knights receiver Billy Duarte to fumble the ball.

Lastly, special teams came up big with two kickoff returns for touchdowns, courtesy of slotback Elijah Johnson and wide receiver Marcus Rivera.

Getting a balanced performance is something Wahlstrom said was very important if his team wanted to get the win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was extremely critical,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The two special teams touchdowns and the defensive touchdown is what gave us the lead. Doing that in the first half was tremendous. It was awesome to see Adrian Cracolici come up and cause that fumble with a great hit. Blake Spear then picked it up and ran it in, it was awesome, and our two return guys with the touchdowns were just fantastic. We blocked extremely well, as well.â&#x20AC;?

The Vipers first score came off a 16-yard touchdown pass from Gamez to Rivera, followed by a missed PAT, which gave them a 6-0 lead with 3:22 left in the first quarter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We worked on routes all week,â&#x20AC;? Rivera said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just trusted my quarterback, and he trusted me.â&#x20AC;?

Rivera also finished the night with five receptions for 64 yards, to go along with the touchdown.

The Knights responded quickly on the following drive, as fullback Anthony Trudell ran it in from four yards out for the touchdown. Lebron blocked the PAT to keep the game tied 6-6 with 16.9 seconds left in the opening quarter.

MATTHEW MORALES, 42, of Verrado knocks the ball away from Lake Havasuâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brandon Hooker Oct. 7, while Verradoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kyliek Baxter, 74, approaches. The Vipers ended their three-game losing streak with a 41-13 victory.

One would assume the score would be 6-6 at the end of the first quarter. Well, think again.

The Vipersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Johnson returned the ensuing kickoff for 81 yards and a touchdown to give his team back the lead with 5.2 seconds remaining in the first quarter, 13-6. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All week, we were working on wedges and going up the middle,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew what they were doing. I give it all to [special teams coach Jeff Jenkins].

Great coaching, and everyone executed and got their blocks, and we were able to take it back.â&#x20AC;?

After a turnover on downs by Verrado, the Knights got the ball back at their own 30-yard line with 7:33 remaining in the second quarter. Lake Havasu capped off a 13-play, 70-yard drive that featured two fourthdown conversions with a two-yard rushing touchdown by Trudell to tie it up 13-13 with 3:03 left in the first half.

The tie wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t last long, as Verradoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rivera took the following kickoff to the house for a 95-yard touchdown return and the Vipers regained the lead with 2:51 left in the second quarter.

On the first play of Lake Havasuâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s following drive, Knights quarterback Jack Warner completed a pass to Duarte, where Verradoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cracolici forced a fumble and Spear returned it from 32 yards for the touchdown with 2:34 left in the first half to extend the Vipersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lead to 27-13.

Warner finished the game completing 29 of his 53 passes for 417 yards, but also threw three interceptions.

Duarte finished with seven catches for 75 yards, while Knights slotback Jake Means led all receivers with six catches for 110 yards in a losing effort.

The turnovers continued for the Knights. In a drive that looked like it would result in some points, Lebron intercepted Warnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pass in the end zone with 53 seconds left in the first half after Lake Havasu had

gotten to the Vipersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 18-yard line.

The second half was more of the same for Verrado, as Gamez completed a 21-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Jonah Alicea with 8:28 left in the third quarter, making it 34-13.

After a fumble by the Vipers put the Knights at Verradoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 44-yard line, Lebron picked off another one of Warnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passes in the end zone with 4:08 remaining in the third quarter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew our coach called a good blitz, so I knew their quarterback was going to be looking right away,â&#x20AC;? Lebron said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just played press coverage, pressed him real quick and just found the ball in the air. My [defensive backs] coach is always telling me big-time players make bigtime plays, and I wanted to step up for my team and make it happen.â&#x20AC;?

After Verradoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense forced Lake Havasu to punt, the Vipers added their final touchdown off a 50-yard run

by Jenkins with 8:23 left in the fourth quarter.

Verrado put the icing on the cake on the Knightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; next drive. On third down and with 6:28 remaining, Lebron made an amazing over-the-shoulder grab for his third interception.

For the Vipers, getting a win on senior night is nice, but they still have one goal on their mind â&#x20AC;&#x201D; playoffs, Lebron said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more big for our playoff run,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about the team. We want to get to playoffs, so we have to start making statements now.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We definitely have to bounce back, especially after having those three losses,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But this is a good win for the seniors, and for the crowd.â&#x20AC;?

Verrado will look to continue its playoff run when it heads to Phoenix Barry Goldwater Friday to take on the Bulldogs.

TOLLESON UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT “Learning Today, Leading Tomorrow”

OVERRIDE FACT SHEET Important Information and Frequently Asked Questions regarding TUHSD Maintenance and Operations (M&O) Budget Override Why are we voting for a budget override?

Budget overrides must be reauthorized by the voters every seven (7) years or they phase out. Residents across the Tolleson Union High School District (TUHSD) boundary, from the cities of Avondale, Phoenix, Glendale and Tolleson, will have the opportunity to vote on a budget override during the November 8, 2016 election.

Didn’t Prop. 123 provide more money for school districts?

Prop. 123 was money from the State to the school district to settle a law suit. All Prop. 123 money received went to wages for teachers and support staff.

How much is the proposed budget override? $7,250,461.50 with the existing override currently in its first year of phase out and has been reduced by $2,416,820.50.

How will the budget override affect my property taxes?

Each one‐third phase out reduction would lower the secondary tax rate by $0.2447. The estimated secondary tax rate for the proposed override is approximately $0.7458, which is an estimated cost to a home owner with a limited property value of $100,000.00 to be $74.58 per year or 20¢ per day.

How will the budget override money be used?

When will the budget override be on the ballot?

The money would continue funding: • Support for our students with Honors and AP classes • Intervention for students needing additional support • Dual Enrollment • Manageable class sizes • Recruitment and retention of Highly Qualified Teachers • Increased academic achievement

November 8, 2016, with early voting for the measure starting on October 12, 2016.

What if the budget override does not pass?

If the override does not pass, the District would need to cut an additional $2.4 million dollars, which may include: • Increased class sizes • Staff reductions • Services to students reduced or eliminated • Cuts to extracurricular activities and sports

Why should I support the budget override if I don’t have children in the school district?

Investing in your local school affects your most important measure of wealth, the value of your home. Every resident of this community has a stake in the value of your home.

Every resident of this community has a stake in good neighborhood schools. Good schools attract quality jobs.

Businesses want good schools for their own families, and for their employees. Your property values are tied to the success of the Tolleson Union High School District.

How much will the budget override cost the average taxpayer?

The projected tax rate to fund a full 15% M&O override is $0.7458 per $100,000 of secondary assessed valuation.

The estimated tax cost for a residential home valued at $100,000.00 would be approximately $74.58 per year or 20¢ per day.

Verrado volleyball hitting its stride Lady Vipers haven’t lost a game in a month

by Casey Pritchard sports editor

Verrado volleyball has a new coach this year, but its winning ways haven’t changed.

The Lady Vipers, who have averaged nearly 30 victories per season for the last three years, are 16-4 and haven’t lost since Sept. 13.

Their last VOLLEYBALL five wins were all in the 5A Desert West Region, which has them at the top of the standings.

“We’re playing really, really well,” said Verrado coach Mike Lussier, who was previously the freshman coach. “I’m really proud of the girls; they’re doing great.”

The key to Verrado’s success so far has been a commitment from the girls to a complete team effort, Lussier said.

“We’ve got some key players on our team, but they realize they’re only as good as their teammates,” he said. “It really is a we thing, rather than a me thing. They’re really playing together, and they’re extremely close. Every single practice, they’re engaged, they want to be there, and with the mentality of giving it all they’ve got at practice and committing to being a little bit better every single practice. I think they’ve seen that playing as a team, rather than worrying about individual statistics. They’ve all kind of sold out, bought in. It’s kind of cool.”

The team-first mentality is something Lussier preached from the start of the season.

“We sat down as a group and that was their commitment, and I wasn’t going to have it any other way,” Lussier said. “I just said, ‘If you’re not on board and not going to have that mindset, then Verrado volleyball might not be for you, but this is the direction we’re going in.’ It’s been a huge point of emphasis right from the getgo, no doubt.”

Verrado’s captain, senior Logan Wallick, is a perfect example of a team-first teammate. Lussier calls her the backbone of the group.

“She is such a great leader, she’s very well respected and she works extremely hard,” Lussier said. “The thing with her leading, all the girls respect her, so when she has something to say, they listen and there’s a huge amount of respect that goes her way … It’s one thing to be a really good volleyball player, but it’s another

Wallick leads the team with 275 kills.

She also has 30 aces.

Sophomore Rachel Abramson is second on the team with 154 kills, while senior Kylie Thompson has 101.

One of the pleasant additions to the team is freshman Faith Buford. She’s 6 feet tall and plays middle blocker.

“She is working like there’s no tomorrow,” Lussier said. “She’s somewhat shy, but the girls have absolutely embraced her and encouraged her, so her confidence level just seems to be going up, it seems like every match. It’s a lot of fun to see the development and confidence she’s going to need to be a difference maker.”

Buford has nine blocks, which is tied for second on the team. Junior Joey Benson leads the Lady Vipers in that department with 29.

Senior Jamie Wagner is tops on the team in digs with 223, while junior Marina Samaniego has a team-leading 588 assists.

started the second round of region play Tuesday against Phoenix Barry Goldwater.

The result was unavailable at press time.

“We’re undefeated in our section, which we’re proud of, but our goal is to get to the big dance at state, and I believe if they are still committed and bought in, I think they’re going to be just fine and we’re going to compete just as well as any other team when we get there,” Lussier said.

Should Verrado win the region, it would get an automatic bid into the state tournament. However, the Lady Vipers are already in the playoff picture by virtue of their top-16 ranking in the 5A power points. As of Tuesday morning, Verrado was sixth.

If Verrado makes the state tournament, it will have plenty of experience to draw from. The Lady Vipers have made state three of the last four seasons, including last year when they won a playoff game for the first time.

“We talk a lot about being composed with no panic, and having the confidence to stay in every single set, and with the older girls, with the experience — I think the younger players tend to learn so much,” Lussier said. “I think with how

well they’re composed, there’s no panic and they trust each other that we’ll get it done. That’s a big mental psyche that goes along, especially with girls volleyball.”

With the postseason on the horizon, it’s an exciting time for Verrado volleyball, Lussier said.

“I guess you would call this the dog days, you get a little deeper into the season so girls somewhat start to check out, but I tell you what, they have absolutely been energized,” he said. “It’s a really exciting time because I think they can see a little bit of that light at the end of the tunnel.”

Additional excitement comes from the fact that the Lady Vipers were invited to play in a tournament in San Diego this weekend.

“It’s kind of a big deal because it’s all high-level, good-quality volleyball, so we’re looking forward to that challenge to prepare us for the future,” Lussier said.

Next week, the Lady Vipers play district rivals Agua Fria and Desert Edge. The postseason begins Nov. 2.

For 11 minutes, Tolleson played a perfect fourth quarter Oct. 7 against Surprise Valley Vista, overcoming a 16-point deficit to gain a four-point lead.

The last minute of the football game was a different story.

The Wolverines’ (3-4, 0-2) furious 20-point fourthquarter comeback was spoiled by a last-minute touchdown drive by the Monsoon (5-2, 2-0).

Tolleson’s go-ahead touchdown with 54 seconds left was answered 30 FOOTBALL seconds later by Valley Vista, set up by a 50-yard pass from Reyes Lara III to Vodrey Gates, spoiling the Wolverines’ homecoming celebration. Valley Vista held on for the 32-30 win.

“I’m proud that we gave ourselves a chance and fought back,” Tolleson coach Jason Wilke said. “Unfortunately, when you have a lead, it’s got to become personal and you have to protect it. That can’t happen. I told the kids I was proud of the effort to get us back in it. It hurts when you put that much heart and soul into it and come up short.”

Tolleson dropped to 0-2 in the 6A Southwest Region standings, two games behind Westview, Valley Vista and Millennium.

“We’ve got three [games] left here, and we’ve got to turn into the spoiler role,” Wilke said. “Still a lot of football left.

We’re challenging the kids now, are we going to be our best every day — on the field, in the classroom, in the community?

Are we going to finish this off and play our tails off?”

Game action The teams were held scoreless after the first quarter ended. Tolleson was the first to get on the board in the second, courtesy of a 27-yard field goal by Miguel Vasquez.

Valley Vista immediately answered on the next drive with a touchdown, a 22-yard completion from Lara to Braedon Houx. Tolleson blocked the extra point, the first of three blocked kicks by the Wolverines.

The teams exchanged a touchdown apiece on the next two possessions, giving Valley Vista a 13-10 lead at the half.

The Wolverines ran into some trouble in the third quarter, starting on the first play of the half.

Lionel Suazo fought for a tough seven yards on a handoff, but ended up fumbling the ball and the Monsoon recovered. Valley Vista drove down the short field to extend its lead to 20-10 on another touchdown connection between Lara and Houx.

Tolleson’s next possession wasn’t much better. The Wolverines stalled and were forced into a fourth-and-15 situation. The snap hit the upback on an apparent fakepunt attempt, and Valley Vista jumped on the loose ball.

The Monsoon again found the end zone two plays later, and led 26-10.

Tolleson missed a field goal on the first play of the fourth quarter, but had its special teams step up in a big way on the next possession.

Andre Johnson was able to break through the line on Valley Vista’s punt attempt and blocked the kick. The ball took a friendly bounce into the hands of Ignacio Valdez, who waltzed into the end zone untouched. Tolleson’s two-point try was denied, keeping the score at 26-16.

After forcing a turnover on downs on the next possession, Tolleson got the ball back with 5:40 remaining in the game, down 10.

The Wolverines began the drive with three incompletions, and played with fire much of the drive, having to convert two fourth downs to keep it alive. Eventually, the Wolverines found pay dirt on a screen pass to senior wide receiver Dallas Dixon. He took the pass 36-yards to the goal line, breaking multiple tackles on the way.

Tolleson’s defense forced a three-and-out and got the ball back with 1:36 remaining.

Tolleson again started the drive with three

DALLAS DIXON, center, of Tolleson jumps to make a catch Oct. 7 while Valley Vista’s Ivan Hinson, 8, defends.

The Wolverines scored 20 fourth-quarter points to take the lead, but lost on a touchdown in the final seconds. incompletions. Patrick Ortega connected with Dixon for 15 yards on fourth down, and then again on third-and-10 from the 19. Ortega hit Dixon in the front corner of the end zone, with three defenders draping him, for the go-ahead score with 54 seconds left.

Valley Vista wasted no time answering the Wolverines’ call. Lara hit Gates wide open downfield. Gates cut back to the middle of the field for a 50-yard gain to the Wolverines’ six-yard line. A horse collar penalty on the tackle moved it to the three, and Valley Vista punched it in two plays later on a run by Ray Baquero. Valley Vista, who had two extra points blocked, elected to go for two, but missed the try and led 32-30.

Tolleson didn’t have enough left in the tank, suffering a sack and an interception to end the game.

Dixon was unquestionably the game’s most valuable player. He hauled in nine receptions for 226 yards and two touchdowns.

“He’s special,” Wilke said. “We had to get creative. He had triple coverage there at the end. It’s a product of him working hard for four years in the weight room, and it’s showing on the field. Proud of his effort.”

Ortega went 15 of 32 for 261 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Trey Johnson caught five passes for 55 yards, and also completed one pass on a reverse for 30 yards. Suazo rushed for 53 yards on 17 carries.

Baquero broke the century mark on the ground, gaining 108 yards on 27 carries. Lara went 13 of 25 for 221 yards. Gates caught four passes for 99 yards.

Looking ahead The loss put a damper on Tolleson’s playoff hopes. The Wolverines sit at 0-2 in region play, and would be on the losing end of tiebreakers with two of the three undefeated

region leaders, Westview and Valley Vista.

Despite the setback, Wilke expects his squad to finish the season with purpose, even with the school’s fall break this week.

“Unfortunately, the kids aren’t going to be in school, but I believe our commitment is strong enough that we won’t have a problem with that,” Wilke said. “I’m looking at it as an advantage for us. We get to take a little break from school, and the kids can focus on football and family. They get to be like an NFL player for a week.”

Tolleson will look to rebound Friday against Millennium. The Tigers have bounced back from a 0-4 start to win three games in a row, and are tied for the region lead with Westview and Valley Vista.

“It’s been a long grind in the classroom, so [we’ll] have a little bit of a break mentally for that, and we’ll be ready to take on the Tigers [Friday],” Wilke said.
