The city of Buckeye has received notification from the Arizona Attorney General’s Office that it has gotten complaints from at least one resident concerning disputed water bills.

It’s the latest in a series of actions taken against the city by residents who say they’ve been billed hundreds of dollars for thousands of gallons of water they claim they didn’t use.

A letter from the Consumer Protection and Advocacy Section of the Attorney General’s Office was received Nov. 29 by the Buckeye city clerk.

The agency is “currently in the process of attempting to obtain a resolution” with the city, the letter stated. “We are providing you with a copy of the complaint so that your agency may take whatever additional action it finds appropriate.”

Mia Garcia, a spokeswoman with the Attorney General’s Office, said the letter is part of a standard procedure after a complaint is received.

“It doesn’t always mean an investigation has started,” she said.

The city will have 30 days to reply to the complaint, and then the Attorney General’s (See Water bill on Page 5)

Retired Palm Valley Phase I bans some sex offenders deputy Level II, III offenders from living murdered prohibited in Goodyear community

The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office is investigating after a man was murdered Sunday morning in his home on county land near 129th Avenue and Camelback Road, officials said.

The victim has been identified as Eddie Zuleger, a retired MCSO lieutenant, said Detective Doug Matteson, a Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office spokesman.

Level II and III sex offenders are being banished from one Goodyear community after residents voted Dec. 2 to keep them out.

Homeowners voted 185 to 32 in favor of an amendment to Palm Valley Phase I’s declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions that prohibits offenders from living there, said Curtis Ekmark, an attorney representing the homeowners association.

“Nobody knew what the vote would be, obviously, but it was pretty overwhelming,” Ekmark said.

The vote took place during the annual meeting of the homeowner’s association, but residents also had the option to mail in their votes ahead of time.

“Very few people were at the meeting, so my guess is that most of the ballots were mailed in,” Ekmark said.

A letter was sent to homeowners last month stating the HOA determined that Level II and III sex offenders, who are classified as intermediate and high risk, present an “unreasonable danger” to the community.

Palm Valley Phase I has about 1,300 houses in a one-square-mile area between McDowell and Thomas roads and Litchfield and Dysart roads. It also has one elementary school and a city-owned park within its boundaries.

The amendment should be recorded by the HOA sometime this week, and then members will be notified, Ekmark said.

Level II and III sex offenders who currently live in the community will then be forced to move within 60 days, even if they own the property, and homeowners will be responsible for knowing who they’re renting to, Ekmark said.

“If there is someone living there, my guess is the board will talk to them and work with them in terms of putting a plan together,” he said. “My guess is the board will be reasonable and work with them depending on what the circumstances are.”

Pedestrian hit Sunday morning Arizona legislator

by Glendale motorcycle officer gets probation for

by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

A 70-year-old man had life-threatening injuries after being hit by a motorcycle officer and another vehicle at about 3 a.m. Sunday in Glendale, officials said.

An on-duty motorcycle officer was driving eastbound on Glendale Avenue near 107th Avenue when the man walked into the street going southbound, said Sgt. Scott Waite, a spokesman with the Glendale Police Department.

The man was not in a crosswalk, and was wearing dark clothing in an area that has no lighting, Waite said.

“The officer tried to avoid the collision and steered away from the impact, which occurred to the left front and left side of the police motorcycle, also impacting the officer’s left side,” he said.

The officer immediately ran toward the man, while also attempting to get an SUV traveling eastbound to stop by using his flashlight, Waite said.

The SUV also struck the pedestrian, but remained at the scene as the officer went to the pedestrian and called for help, Waite said.

The pedestrian was transported to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, Waite said.

The officer also sustained non-life threatening injuries and was released from the hospital, he said.

Impairment and speed were not a factor for anyone involved, Waite said.

Avondale man sentenced to 23 years for meth distribution in Missouri

by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

An Avondale man was sentenced Dec. 1 to 23 years in federal prison without parole for his role in a conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine in Springfield, Mo., according to a news release by the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Western District of Missouri.

Michael Ayala, 38, pleaded guilty July 5 to participating in a conspiracy to distribute meth, possessing a firearm in furtherance of a drug-trafficking crime and participating in a money-laundering conspiracy, the release stated.

He is among seven co-defendants who have pleaded guilty and been sentenced, including Michael Thompson, 58, of Goodyear, the release stated.

Ayala supplied meth for distribution in the Springfield area every seven to 10 days. He was paid $9,000 per pound of meth, which was then sold for $12,000 per pound, the release stated.

The drugs arrived by mail and were then driven from Arizona to Missouri by Thompson and another man, who were stopped by law enforcement on April 15, 2015, in New Mexico, the release stated.

About 14.5 pounds of meth was found inside a

compartment near the back of their vehicle, and another 2,228 grams was hidden inside a luggage bag, the release stated.

The next day, a controlled delivery of meth was made to Ayala in Springfield. He was arrested during a traffic stop, and officers found a Springfield Armory 9mm semiautomatic pistol in the vehicle, as well as ammunition, syringes, and $19,231, the release stated.

A search warrant was also served at a house shared by Ayala and a woman involved in the distribution, and officers seized four large Tupperware containers containing about 1.5 kilograms of pure methamphetamine, a black briefcase containing baggies of meth and $1,520, a Taurus .410-caliber shotgun, a Cobra .380-caliber semi-automatic pistol, a loaded Quality Firearms .38-caliber revolver, a loaded Springfield Armory 9mm pistol, a Smith and Wesson .40-caliber pistol and $14,779 in a purse, the release stated.

Ayala admitted using the proceeds from distributing meth to buy assets, which also concealed the source of the proceeds, including a residential property and a 2012 Ford Mustang that must be forfeited to the government, the release stated.

food stamp fraud

by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

An Arizona lawmaker was sentenced Dec. 1 to one year of supervised probation and 100 hours of community service after pleading guilty in October to one count of unlawful use of food stamps.

State Rep. Cecilia Velasquez, who represents District 29, was indicted in May for fraudulently obtaining $1,726 in food stamp benefits between Nov. 1, 2013, and Jan. 31, 2015.

A tip was received by the Arizona Department of Economic Security Office of the Inspector General in November 2014, and the agency began investigating with the Criminal Division of the Arizona Attorney General’s Office.

In a statement released through her attorney after the Cecilia sentencing, Velasquez said she sought assistance from Velasquez DES several years ago after becoming ill and struggling financially, adding that she never had any malicious intent.

“Through this process, I learned that I made mistakes during the course of that assistance. I should be accountable for those mistakes — just like anyone else,” she said. “I deeply regret that, and I apologize to the people I represent for making those mistakes.”

Velasquez said the assistance did what it was supposed to do and helped pull her family out of poverty.

“I am eternally grateful it was available to us when we needed it most,” she said.

Velasquez paid back the money to the state before entering her change of plea, according to her attorney, Roy Herrera.

She dropped her bid for re-election after being indicted.

Business Briefcase

by Shane McOwen staff writer

Hello, readers, and welcome to the first December edition of the Business Briefcase! Glad to have you aboard.

We’re just over a fortnight away from Christmas and the beginning of Chanukah.

Not too far away now!

Fortnight is a refreshing way to refer to a period of time.

It’s two weeks, by the way, for those who aren’t familiar.

I’m a little disappointed the powers that be didn’t select fortnight to be part of the vocabulary Shane McOwen nomenclature of the period between a day and a month. It’s just another linguistic gift from our friends across the pond that we’ve chosen not to use, much like “stone.” Stone is equivalent to 14 pounds, or as I like to call it, two touchdowns of weight. I’m not sure how frequently fortnight is used in the British lexicon, but I do know stone is still used to describe weight.

I’m pretty sure the measurement was born out of some smart-aleck child’s answer to a geology quiz regarding the weight of rocks.

I’m not going to research it because, frankly, I like my scenario better.

Why don’t we get started with some business news before I spend a fortnight converting historical figures’ weights into stone through internet sleuthing.

First up, Estrella Women’s Health Center has completed its move to a new 10,500-square-foot building at 9930 W. Indian School Road in Phoenix.

Estrella Women’s Health Center also has another location in Goodyear, 1170 N. Estrella Parkway, Suite A107.

For information, call 623-846-7558.

In Avondale, Your Friendly Car Guy is open at 919 N. Dysart Road, Suite D. Your Friendly Car Guy sells older, used

vehicles for a low price.

All vehicles currently listed on the inventory page have more than 100,000 miles, but most are priced between $2,000 and $3,000.

A bit of a nice way to get some wheels without breaking the bank, wouldn’t you say?

Check out yourfriendlycarguy.com for information, or call 602-842-9530.

Abicenna Skin and Laser is now taking appointments at 13575 W. Indian School Road, Suite 300, in Avondale, and is planning a grand opening celebration for Saturday and Dec. 12.

Abicenna specializes in platelet-rich plasma, using a client’s own plasma to create a serum to rejuvenate the skin. It’s a lot like the vampire mask, but with a clear serum of plasma, instead of (somewhat terrifying) blood.

It also has the Vivace radio frequency microneedling device, using radio frequency to rejuvenate skin and hair.

Abicenna is the only location in the West Valley with the device, said Sam Maula, a doctor with Abicenna.

“I’m excited because I think there aren’t a lot of places that offer this,” Maula said.

Abicenna also offers the bread and butter skin care services: Laser hair removal, laser tattoo removal, Botox, fillers and chemical peels, among other services.

The website is still under construction, but prospective clients can visit abicenna. com and enter their email to be updated when the site is live.

For information, call 623-455-8554.

That’s all for this week, folks, thanks for tuning in.

For those putting up pre-lit Christmas trees, I give you the well-wishing of having all the lights actually turn on.

Send questions, comments or tips to smcowen@westvalleyview.com. I’ll do my best to get back to all submissions in a (relatively) timely manner.

Until next time, take care.

Construction project to cause delays on Dysart Road View report

Motorists who use Dysart Road north of Interstate 10 to Indian School Road in Avondale are being warned to plan for possible delays as crews start work on a project in the area.

The city of Avondale will have restrictions and closures in place on the road from Dec. 8 through mid-March 2017.

The project will include installing fiber conduit along the east side of Dysart

Road, providing the city necessary fiber communications to eight traffic signals along Dysart.

Traffic monitoring cameras will also be installed to facilitate traffic flow.

To allow for the construction, there will be intermittent right lane closures and lane restrictions.

The project is being administered by the Arizona Department of Transportation and funded federally through Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality.

Office will determine if an investigation should be conducted, Garcia said.

But if there is an investigation, the Attorney General’s Office can’t comment on it, Garcia said.

Controversy erupted in October when a group of residents organized after they received super-sized water bills and were told by the city they had water leaks or theft.

Angry with the city’s response, the residents recently filed paperwork to begin collecting signatures on petitions to force an election to recall Mayor Jackie Meck.

An organizational meeting for that effort will be at noon Saturday at the Buckeye Aquatics Center, 1003 E. Eason Ave., Buckeye.

In the complaint made to the Attorney General’s Office, Beverly Davis said she got a water bill in October for 24,000 gallons of water for a home she cares for that’s owned by her daughter, who lives elsewhere.

Davis said water bills fluctuated from $217 to $500 over several months after the city took over the Global Water system, which previously served the area.

Scott Armstrong said he also filed a complaint with the Attorney General’s Office in mid-November.

Armstrong, who said he lives on a retirement budget, reported his average water bill had been $130 a month until November, when the bill jumped to $223.

After attending a meeting of residents, Armstrong said he learned that others in the city had similar problems, some with much higher bills.

Jennifer Liewer, a public relations consultant retained by the city to deal with the water billing issue, said the city had not received Armstrong’s complaint.

The city released a report that showed there had been 145 calls in November to a hot line established for residents with water billing issues.

According to the report, 72 cases were closed and 73 remain open.

The report stated that 19 bills were adjusted, 26 water leaks or other issues were identified and nine billing errors were found.

The city serves about 20,000 water accounts.

Water billing issues can be reported to the city by calling the hot line at 623-349-6900.

Buckeye city officials did not respond to a request for comment on this story by press time.

Deputies responded to the home at about 8:20 a.m. Sunday after a woman called 911, frantically screaming that her son was stabbing her husband, Matteson said.

Randy fled the scene on foot before deputies arrived, and was found nearby at 129th Avenue and Colter Street, he said.

He was arrested without incident, and was allegedly muttering to himself about “taking out his father,” and claimed to be on PCP, Matteson said.

His mother suffered a slash wound to her hand, Matteson said.

Ekmark said the vote wasn’t spurred by an incident, but came about because the Legislature passed a bill last year allowing HOAs to regulate sex offenders living in their communities if they include it in their covenants, conditions and restrictions.

Palm Valley has five communities in Goodyear that are managed by five separate HOAs: Phase I; Phase II and III, which are combined; Phase V; Phase 8 North Parcel; and Phase 8 South Parcel. The ban only applies to Phase I. When asked if he thinks the ban in Phase I could spur other HOAs to do the same, Ekmark said it has been approved in other communities already.

“This one got the most media attention, so there’s a good chance that because of the media attention, there will be more communities that want to do this,” he said.

Goodyear house fire causes major damage

by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

A Goodyear home sustained major damage in a fire early Sunday morning northwest of Dysart Road and Van Buren Street, officials said.

Firefighters responded to the call at about 5 a.m. and found the house well involved in fire, said Battalion Chief Russ Braden, a spokesman with the Goodyear Fire Department.

“Within a few minutes, the on-scene incident commander removed all crews out of the home and changed to a defensive stance, fighting the fire from only the outside of the home. This was due to the roof structure beginning to fail,” Braden said.

The fire also extended to a separate storage building and other items in the backyard, he said.

Crews from Goodyear, Avondale and Tolleson began to gain control of the fire at about 5:20 a.m., Braden said.

Only one person was home at the time of the fire, and no injuries were reported, he said.

The house sustained major damage and cannot be re-occupied at this time. The cause of the fire has not been determined, Braden said.

He retired in January 1991 from the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office after 21 years, and later became a captain with the Arizona Department of Corrections as an investigations manager and manager of the Internal Affairs Unit, according to the article.

OUR VIEWPOINT

McCOY’S OPINION — Cagle Cartoons

EDITORIAL

City’s concern over water bills seems shallow Buckeye officials seem to go off the deep end every time they’re confronted with their residents’ deluge of mysterious water bill spikes.

The City Council held a meeting Nov. 28 to decide 2017 water rates. The council had previously approved a rate hike that was to take effect in January, but pulled a 180, unanimously agreeing to keep rates the same for the majority of residents and even lower them for others.

Before we go any further, it’s important to understand how water rates are calculated.

All residents pay a base rate of $32.94. The majority of residents fall into the lowest tier for water usage (up to 6,000 gallons per month) and pay $3.93 per 1,000 gallons used. Those who use more than 6,000 gallons per month pay higher rates as they climb tiers. Tier 2 is set at $5.70 per 1,000 gallons for 6,001-10,000 gallons used. Tier 3 is set at $9.75 per 1,000 gallons for 10,001-15,000 gallons used. Tier 4 is $14.62 per 1,000 gallons for 15,001 to 30,000 gallons used and Tier 5 is $15.48 per gallon for anything over 30,000 gallons.

That means someone who uses all 6,000 gallons a month pays $56.52. Someone who uses 10,000 gallons pays $79.32. Someone who uses 15,000 gallons pays $128.07 and someone who uses 30,000 gallons pays $347.37.

The new rate structure will keep the lowest tier rate the same and drop Tier 2 to $4.91, Tier 3 to $6.14, Tier 4 to $7.68 and Tier 5 to $9.59.

All well and good, but the timing is conspicuous even though Dave Nigh, the city’s water resources director, said it had nothing to do with scores of unexplained water bill spikes — some to the tune of $600 plus. Nigh said the timing was coincidental, that the water rate study had been in the works since last summer. But before residents started flooding the city with complaints and threatening to recall Mayor Jackie Meck and possibly other council members, the council was onboard to raise rates, not lower them. Doesn’t exactly sound coincidental to us.

Dan Jackson, the consultant who has advised the city on water rates since 2013, said the decision to keep some rates the same and lower others for 2017 was due in part to higher-than-expected revenues. No kidding? Could it be that those higher-than-expected revenues are due in large part to residents’ paying three, four, five, six times what they should be? Or is that a coincidence, too?

Despite setting up a hot line and email for residents to contact the city after they’ve received water bills that are double, triple, quadruple what they should be, the City Council still seems to be playing the denial card.

Meck said the 2017 water rates “should really help people lower their bills,” as if those $300-$600 water bills are justified, and the city is simply doing its residents a good turn. The city admitted that the majority of residents fall into the 6,000-gallon tier, which isn’t set to change with the new rates, so the new rates won’t help those people lower their bills. Tier 2’s rate will only lower by 79 cents (a $3 difference for 10,000 gallons), a drop in the bucket, and Tier 3 by $3.61 (a $21 difference for 15,000 gallons), so not much help there, either. But Tier 4’s rate will lower by $6.94 (a $125 difference for 30,000 gallons), and Tier 5’s by $5.89, which would really help those people lower their bills. Coincidence that most residents disputing their bills fall into Tiers 4 and 5?

Councilman Eric Orsborn followed suit, saying the new rates would mitigate the “sticker shock” for residents who have seen giant spikes in their bills, as if those residents are simply living beyond their means, luxuriating in more water than they can afford.

The city’s hot line was set up about a month ago, and for a time was on the city’s home page, but has since been buried under the “News” tab. Coincidence? The number is 623-349-6900. Residents can also report water bill spikes via email to waterhotline@buckeyeaz.gov.

Meck said 45 cases have already been solved with some of them receiving refunds, so why he and other council members are being intentionally obtuse is beyond us.

A group of residents has taken up the mantle to fight (See Shallow on Page 8)

Trump better honor contract Editor: Trump has a contract with America! Allow me to suggest that if Donald Trump does advance an agenda that includes the following which he DID campaign on, I will give him the credit: 1. If he follows through on his promise to rebuild the infrastructure in America aside from the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines and pushes Congress to fund this rebuilding, many quality jobs will be created and the

stock market may go up by 500 to 5,000 points.

2. If he protects Social Security and Medicare from being privatized as he promised, I will sleep better at night that he is not going to allow banksters to take control of our sacred hen house.

3. If he works to lessen the influence of dark money from people such as the Koch Brothers and Sheldon Adelson, as he promised, free speech will once again be free.

Even better would be his support of Campaign Finance Reform and repeal of Citizens United.

4. If he keeps us from becoming involved in another nation’s civil war for which he criticized Hillary for and campaigned on, we will be able to concentrate on rebuilding the lives of deserving veterans, which he also campaigned on, instead of losing more precious American soldiers.

5. If he is really sincere about bringing back good jobs to America and penalizing any company who takes jobs and investment off shore by not allowing them to deduct relocation costs. More jobs will stay here and more tax revenue.

HE DID MAKE CAMPAIGN PROMISES HERE! If he follows through on these, I will say he (See Letters on Page 7)

The answer is simple Editor: Rick, Your question to “what does all of that really mean�? Is simple. After all the dividing, the disrespect, the intolerance of the past 8 long years, even the Democrats understand it’s time to undo the ugly, divisive, intolerant, ignorant, small minded way of doing business simply because it doesn’t work.

HRC is proven to have Broken Federal Rules.

Then she whited the emails out, destroying evidence and hammering them to destroy evidence. I guess you believe America is blind deaf and dumb.

Not a mandate indeed Editor: This letter is in response to three separate letters from the post-election edition of the West Valley View on Wednesday 11/16.

Ms. Thompsons letter predicting Republican reaction to a loss in the Presidential election must seem surreal as she watches the Democrats go through every level of grief she foretold and more, Projection Much?

Mr. Rivera wants to know what he should do now that Mr. Trump is the President-Elect, many with the same questions on their mind should follow the directive of their Corrupt Queen, “We owe him an Open Mind and a chance to lead.� With all of the options available for News and Information they may also want to look up what Mr. Trump actually said and not rely on the Crony Media talking points and false narratives.

Lastly Mr. Trumps’ election may not be a “Mandate� to some

but if you look back over the four elections since Mr. Obama won the Presidency in 2008, Democrats have lost over 900 State legislative seats. Republicans have increased Governorships to 34 and now have legislative control over all but five states. These gains have come partly through the partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts but mainly because hard working, common sense Americans of all backgrounds and political stripes are showing up to stop the advance of the Left and their Socialist agenda.

Whether you call us Deplorables, Rednecks, Bitter Clingers, Rubes, Tea Party or the Silent Majority we are guided by our love for this country and we will stand up to preserve it as founded.

Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no bully Editor: Well there are some Newspeople â&#x20AC;&#x153;talking about Donald Trump being a bully again.â&#x20AC;? When I hear these things, it reminds me of being called a bully from First grade through Seventh grade!

In my opinion it never was true. (the short version) I was the biggest kid in the class in first grade. The school jumped a kindergartner up into our class. He was dressed

funny, but we soon found out that he was way ahead of all of us in reading, writing and arithmetic! The other boys in the class wanted to pick on him. I decided they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to do that.

The next year I was no longer the biggest kid. I was only second, but I became good friends with the new biggest kid. I explained to the new biggest how I protected the â&#x20AC;&#x153;brainchild,â&#x20AC;? so then the two biggest boys in the second grade worked together to protect the brain!

In my view this continued right up to the time my family moved out of Phoenix following my seventh grade year. Though other kids still thought I was the bully, so during my seventh grade year they got a kid much bigger than I was to go to my home and fight me. So the fight started, thankfully my nextdoor neighbor was a Phoenix policeman. He came out and stopped us. He (Mr. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Copâ&#x20AC;?) made us talk it out. Turns out this big kid thought he was righting a wrong, even though I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t touched any of these kids in over two years!

P.S. To Laura Rivas, when my parents moved us to the White Tank subdivision. We saw lights on top of the Mountain over and over again! Turned out it was the tractors from Case proving grounds.

Editor: The election is over but the ongoing internal conflict is not. As we go forward that will become obvious. The national media will continue as usual.

The president-elect stated he would have to â&#x20AC;&#x153;drain the swampâ&#x20AC;? but that is going to be very difficult since many of the elected officials in that â&#x20AC;&#x153;swampâ&#x20AC;? have been instrumental in getting us into this mess in the first place â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and they were returned to Washington by the same voters who wanted a new direction. Those of his Party, who had turned against him, now want to be included. All of the above cannot be trusted. Many will do that which benefits themselves the most.

Since the election we have seen violence across the nation even though most demonstrators, students and others, have no idea of what really is at stake here. Now letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look at the ideologically serious protestor. In their demonstrations they repeatedly state â&#x20AC;&#x153;the people united will never be defeated.â&#x20AC;? This is a commonly used communist chant. It is

 OPINIONS

Letters (From Page 7) easily interchangeable for all their demonstrations. During the 1970’s and 80’s (as always) they used it in their periodic demonstrations in front of the federal building in Los Angeles. They lost this round to be part of an ideological shift in power. Their violence tells you about their system.

While we do not know where the president-elect really stands, that will be determined by what he does or does not do during the first one hundred days. We can be sure that powerful opposing forces will not just go away.

An infrastructure has been laid and people put in position for an ideological change. Based on what we think we know about him, he, at this stage, represents a threat to that situation he is about to inherit.

Reasons behind Electoral College Editor: I wish people would understand how the EC (Electoral College) works. Endless you live in CA, TX, PA, NY, FL, MI your vote is not worth one cent. This is where the most people live, and will determine who will win the popular vote. Our founders were very smart to come up with EC, to insure that every one’s vote count. Since 1804,

there has been 54 presidential election, and only four times had the popular vote was more then the candidate who won the EC. They were in 1876,1888, 2000, and 2016. inorder for the popular vote to work and be honest, a number of things will have to be done.

Starting with picture ID, dead people remove for the voting rolls, voter registration with verification, and only one day for voting — like it was in the past. Plus, when a state poles are closed, the results can not be broadcast until all state poles are closed.

Since we know the above will never happen, forget about the popular vote determining who the next president will be.

Rollin Neumann Goodyear

Trump’s cabinet picks troubling Editor: Assuming the electors don’t go rogue, Donald Trump will be the next President. This might present a challenge to hate radio talkers like Hannity and Limbaugh who have made millions of dollars attacking the President of the United States for eight years.

I anticipate Mr. Trump having a difficult time satisfying the 25% of eligible voters who voted for him since many of his proposals are absurd, impossible, or anti-American. He is the kind of person Hamilton and other Founders had in mind when they warned against pretenders and unqualified people winning the election and created the Electoral

College.

Already his appointments are troubling to many: Retired General Michael Flynn falsely warns against Sharia Law infiltrating our courts. VicePresident Pence advocates “conversion therapy” to “cure” gays and lesbians. Advisor Steve Bannon advocates for white supremacy. Possible AG Jeff Sessions said, “He is OK with the Ku Klux Klan.”

Homeland Security frontrunner Kris Kobach wrote the unconstitutional Arizona SB 1070.

I guess when he drained the swamp in Washington, D.C. this is what he found.

Among those who will benefit from the Trump presidency are weapon sellers, Big Oil, Comrade Putin, Big Pharma, businesses who discriminate against gay customers, rightwing fake-news sites, the KKK and tax-dodging millionaires.

Some would call that a basket of deplorables.

The economy is recovering steadily from the 2008 recession, job creation is robust, incomes are up for most Americans, net illegal immigration is at zero, ISIS is being destroyed, gun ownership is secure, more people have health insurance coverage, our military is the strongest ever, and minority high school graduation rates are up.

Considering Pres. Obama had to deal with a Congress that opposed him on almost everything, that’s not too shabby.

Let’s hope results are almost as good during Pres. Trump’s tenure.

(From Page 6)

City Hall by beginning the recall process and most recently contacting the Attorney General, a seemingly necessary step since it appears the city isn’t taking water bills that rival mortgages seriously. The group has planned an organizational meeting for noon Saturday at the Buckeye Aquatics Center, 1003 E. Eason Ave., Buckeye.

We urge anyone who thinks his water bill isn’t what it should be to attend.

The city has gotten itself into hot water already by telling its residents that water leaks and theft must be the root causes of the water bill spikes. Yet even after investigating several cases and refunding hundreds of dollars, the city still seems to be insinuating that residents are to blame.

West Valley View partner KPHO/KTVK quoted Nigh, referring to refunds, as saying, “Sometimes it’s just been cheaper for us. We’ve spent so many hours, we’re spending more time and money trying to find a hundreddollar spike than it’s worth, so it’s easier for us to say, “hey let’s just write it off’ and help the customer and move on.”

Way to patronize the victim, Dave.

Buckeye needs to admit there is a serious problem and solve it instead of lowering water rates and calling it a coincidence while patting itself on the back for “helping” residents, referring to $600 water bills as “sticker shock,” and paying out refunds because it’s easier than acknowledging there really is a problem and that residents are getting soaked.

ANA BARRA of Avondale works with other seniors making tamales for the upcoming annual tamale sale, set for Dec. 12-15 at the Avondale Community Center.

Folks who want some of the tamales sold annually by the Avondale Senior Center wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to pre-order the traditional holiday treats this year, because the tamales will be available first-come, first-served.

The hot or mild beef tamales will be sold from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Dec. 12-15 and 8 a.m. to noon Dec. 16 at the Avondale Community Center, 1007 S. Third St., Avondale. The cost is $16 a dozen.

Erin Lutz, senior center coordinator, said 180 dozen tamales are being prepared for the sale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to make as many or more as last year,â&#x20AC;? when the tamales were sold out, Lutz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People want to get their tamales.â&#x20AC;?

Lutz said the practice of pre-ordering the tamales was dropped this year to streamline the process.

Tamales are a traditional part of holiday meals, especially among the Hispanic community, Lutz said.

But preparing tamales is labor-intensive for home

cooks, which makes obtaining them from an outside source attractive.

Lutz said two cooks at the Avondale Community Center use their recipes to prepare the tamale meat, then up to 60 volunteers from the Senior Site Council assemble the tamales in corn husks and cook them in a steamer before freezing them.

The process involves shredding the meat, removing the fat and blending seasonings, Lutz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got it down to a science,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone has a part.â&#x20AC;?

Lutz estimated the project, which has been a tradition at the senior center for years, takes about 100 hours during sessions that include Christmas music and fellowship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lively group,â&#x20AC;? Lutz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a big part of their holiday time.â&#x20AC;?

The project is a fundraiser for the Senior Site Council, with money going to pay for exercise instructors, DJs, bingo supplies and other activities.

Lutz said the senior center serves up to 100 people a day, with 142 attending a Thanksgiving dinner the week before the holiday.

Hollywood icon at center of EMCC play

One-act tells story about Bette Davis

by Glenn Gullickson staff writer

An incident from the life of Hollywood legend Bette Davis drives the plot of the latest production by the theater group at Estrella Mountain Community College.

Interviewing Miss Davis will be performed at 7 p.m. Thursday and 3 and 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday at the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Performing Arts Center, 3000 N. Dysart Road, Avondale. Admission is free.

The one-act play featuring a cast of three actresses centers on an afternoon late in Davisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; life when she interviewed a candidate to replace her longtime assistant.

George Lopercio, who is directing the EMCC production, said the play is autobiographical because New York playwright Laura Maria Censabella drew the material from an interview she once had for the job with Davis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a marvelous playwright,â&#x20AC;? said Lopercio, who studied with Censabella at the New School of Drama in New York.

Davis, who was nominated 10 times for the Academy Award and won two in the 1930s, is remembered for roles in movies

such as Jezebel, All About Eve and What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? before her death at age 81 in 1989. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a huge Bette Davis fan,â&#x20AC;? Lopercio said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The play has been so much fun to work on.â&#x20AC;?

To find an actress to play Davis, Lopercio sent an audition notice to the PebbleCreek Players in Goodyear and cast the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Laurie Farquhar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She did a huge amount of research,â&#x20AC;?

Lopercio said.

He said Farquhar captures Davisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; essence at a time when the actress was challenged by age, illness and a punishing memoir written by her daughter.

Farquhar said she wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be impersonating Davis on stage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She did have a unique voice. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t try to sound like her,â&#x20AC;? Farquhar said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I try to think like Bette Davis. She was a very strong actress and she had a very strong personality.â&#x20AC;?

That reputation earned Davis an iconic status among moviegoers of a certain age, but college students likely have little knowledge of her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew the name, but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really know who she was,â&#x20AC;? said Ashley Martin, an EMCC sophomore who plays Davisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; assistant who is to be replaced.

Martin said her character is â&#x20AC;&#x153;torn in all kinds of different directionsâ&#x20AC;? as the

women review their relationship.

EMCC student Megan McHone plays the woman being interviewed to take over the job.

The play is set in the 1980s, and Martin said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had fun with the period costumes and â&#x20AC;&#x153;big hair.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anyone with nostalgia for the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s will enjoy the play,â&#x20AC;? Lopercio said.

Twenty-seven students from EMCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theater production class are on the crew for the play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The students are doing every aspect of the production,â&#x20AC;? Lopercio said.

The play will be performed in the Performing Arts Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s black box theater seating about 60 people, which Lopercio said creates â&#x20AC;&#x153;more of an intimate feel for the audience.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the third of three one-act plays in an EMCC fall repertory series that featured Arizona premieres.

Lopercio said he selected the works from hundreds of plays that were submitted.

Staging plays never performed in the region â&#x20AC;&#x153;gives the students a whole new perspective,â&#x20AC;? Lopercio said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a living, breathing endeavor to watch the play be molded.â&#x20AC;?

Tolleson set to twinkle with Luces de Navidad annual celebration Street festival runs Sat., Sun. along Van Buren

by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

Tolleson will be twinkling during its annual Luces de Navidad Street Festival from noon to 11 p.m. Saturday and noon to 8 p.m. Sunday.

The free event is being held on Van Buren Street, and the road will be closed between 91st and 94th avenues from 5 a.m. Saturday to midnight Monday.

The weekend will include carnival rides and plenty of free family activities, such as holiday story times, a reindeer toss, crafts, dance parties, photos with Santa and a snowman costume contest, where parents have to dress their children up as a snowman as quickly as possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is going to be cute,â&#x20AC;? said Ruth Espinoza, recreation programmer for the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have everything all made â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I even made my own little orange noses.â&#x20AC;?

A â&#x20AC;&#x153;reindeerâ&#x20AC;? ring ride will run Sunday, and rides on the Polar Express train will be given both days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When they get on the train, they get a golden believe ticket sticker, and when they get off, they get a jingle bell,â&#x20AC;?

Espinoza said.

Various bands will also perform, including and a special presentation by AJ Castillo, a three-time award winner who is known for his unique accordion sound and style.

At 7 p.m. Saturday, the traditional light parade will run down Van Buren, which typically includes about 35 to 45 entries decked out with bright bulbs.

Following the parade, the city will bid farewell to outgoing Mayor Adolfo GĂĄmez and Councilwoman Kathie Farr, who have served on the City Council for 35 years and 17 years, respectively.

Food trucks and craft vendors will be on site during the event.

Litchfield Park will mark the holiday season with its annual parade and street festival, including an expanded snow play area.

Christmas in the Park will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday in the center of town along Wigwam Boulevard and Old Litchfield Road.

Tricia Kramer, who is planning the traditional event as the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special events coordinator, said 6,000 people are expected to attend the family-friendly event.

The centerpiece is the parade, which starts at 10 a.m., with about 75 units passing along Old Litchfield Road.

Kramer said hundreds of people will participate in the parade, including high school marching bands, local Scout and school groups, nonprofit agencies, businesses and local dignitaries.

In a nod to next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s centennial anniversary of the settling of Litchfield Park, the paradeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s co-grand marshals will be Charlie Salem, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first mayor, and Bob McMillan, whose family helped found the community.

Another highlight will be the APS clown troupe float, Kramer said.

Santa and Mrs. Claus will close out the parade riding on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big Red,â&#x20AC;? an antique fire truck from Goodyear, then the couple will be available for visits and photos with children in the gazebo.

Estrella Foothills wins big in season opener Lady Wolves pour it on 2nd half for 8-0 victory

by Casey Pritchard sports editor

Estrella Foothills’ offensive attack was relentless in its girls soccer season opener Nov. 29 against Peoria, but the Lady Wolves struggled to put the ball in the back of the net during the first half.

That changed in the second half, as Estrella GIRLS scored six goals and ran away with a dominating 8-0 SOCCER victory.

“I think they were just kind of getting used to each other,” Estrella coach Rosie Gonzalez said. “We’re playing a different formation this year, so I think a lot of them don’t know how to play that formation because in their club, they play the basic 4-4-2. We’re playing a three only defense with four middles and three forwards, so that means my middles have to be running a lot more than they usually do. I just think it’s a lot of adjusting to the new formation, and the upperclassmen need to open up to the underclassmen so they can be more united.”

The 3-4-3 formation is something Gonzalez implemented to use the team’s speed and skill.

“We have so many offensive players that I think we should take advantage of it and be a pressuring team,” she said. “We’re having the mindset that we should score in the first 10 minutes, because the pressure and formation should be pushing and pushing on their half.”

The formation could burn the Wolves defensively if mistakes are made, but it’s a chance Gonzalez said she’s willing to take.

“It’s definitely a risky formation, but it’s an offensive and attacking formation; hopefully it works,” Gonzalez said. “There are definitely mistakes we have to capitalize on with the 3-4-3, but for the first game, I wasn’t too mad.”

Junior Justine Rios plays center back, so a lot of the defensive burden is put on her.

“I’m the leader in the back, I’m the last man, so if it gets past me, it’s kind of on me,” Rios said. “It’s really big because everyone back there trusts me, so I know there’s a lot riding on my position.”

Rios added that the formation has been difficult to pick up because there hasn’t been much practice with it. However, she said the Lady Wolves worked really well as a team in the first game and she thinks they’re getting it down.

The Lady Wolves’ outside midfielders will also play a key role in the formation, needing to move forward and backward quickly on the wings. Alexis Hayes and Gaby Valdez are the starters at those positions, but Sarah Stentz and Arianna Karlage play important roles off the bench, Gonzalez said.

“They’re just like starters,” Gonzalez said. “That’s what we’re practicing this season, our level shouldn’t drop when we have a sub, our level should stay the same because we have so many talented players.”

Estrella also has a very youthful team, with five freshmen and five sophomores of the 17 on the roster.

There are three juniors and four seniors, including captain

ALEXIS HAYES, 9, of Estrella Foothills maneuvers with the ball Nov. 29 past a Peoria defender. Hayes scored two of the Lady Wolves’ eight goals in a shutout victory.

Veronica Valencia, a midfielder.

“Last year, we made her captain at the end of the season because of her leadership off the field, and definitely on the field,” Gonzalez said. “She never backs down from any ball, she pushes the girls when one has their head down, she’s telling them, ‘It’s OK, get your head up.’ She’s been doing an awesome job keeping the girls in line, starting practice or whatever it is. Off the field and on the field, she’s a little stud.”

Valencia relishes the role, she said.

“It’s definitely exciting, a lot of hard work and a lot of pressure, but I’m loving it,” she said. “I love my team, I love the respect they gave me and coach. It’s great.”

1st-half jitters Estrella struggled to get things going in the first half,

despite a myriad of opportunities.

“They knew I was very frustrated the first half because we were doing everything besides ending in net,” Gonzalez said. “Second half, we regrouped, refocused, kind of remembered what we talked about, all our goals, and they were like, oh yeah, we can play, let’s one-two each other. That’s when they started getting a little more comfortable.”

The opening goal didn’t come until the 26th minute when Gaby Hayes got a crossing pass next to the penalty spot and kicked it into the top left corner of the net for a 1-0 Lady Wolves advantage.

Estrella made it 2-0 with 7:42 remaining in the first half when Halee Yeager ran down a ball from midfield at the (See Opener on Page 13)

Tolleson soccer wins Bulldog Invitational Westview finishes tournament 2-1

by Shane McOwen sports writer

Tolleson kicked off its boys soccer season with a bang.

The Wolverines went 5-0 in the Bulldog Invitational tournament from Nov. BOYS 28 to Dec. SOCCER 3, defeating Phoenix Barry Goldwater 5-2 in the championship game Dec. 3.

Tolleson cruised through its first two games in group play, pounding Peoria Sunrise Mountain 12-1 and Phoenix St. Mary’s 11-0.

Tolleson scored three second-half goals to defeat Westview 4-1 in the final group game, and dispatched Peoria Liberty 2-1 in the semifinals before beating Goldwater in the final.

Emmanuel Rayas and Luis Uribe each scored goals in the Liberty win, and also scored in the final against Goldwater, along with a goal from Armando Valdez and two from freshman Kelvin Guerrero.

Tolleson, which made it to the Division I quarterfinals last season, has a familiar, yet new team, coach Ben Andronic said.

“We have a talented group, but there are a lot of new pieces,” Andronic said. “They’re pieces we had two years ago, but didn’t play [last year]. It’s almost like we have a brand new team, but we know the kids. It’s just taking the time to jell together.”

Andronic said one of the main goals of the tournament was to get some games under the team’s belt without having to sacrifice losing out on power points with regular season contests. The tournament victory was the icing on that cake.

“It’s just an extended preseason for us, and hopefully, we can tweak a few things and see how we react,” Andronic said.

CHRISTIAN DE LOS RIOS, 12, of Tolleson kicks the ball Nov. 30 as Westview’s Chase Arlak approaches from behind. Arlak had a goal for the Knights, but Tolleson wound up with the 4-1 victory.

“Our goal is to get our pieces right and push for getting into the playoffs. That’s always one of our main goals, getting in the playoffs, and then hopefully, going on for a late run.”

Tolleson faced its first adversity in its game against Westview.

The Wolverines scored just four minutes into the game thanks to Uribe finishing Valdez’s cross inside the six-yard box.

Westview answered just six minutes later with a goal to equalize. Chase Arlak received a long through ball and finished it across the goal, beating the diving

Tolleson keeper in the process.

“We got the quick goal, and I don’t know if maybe the kids thought since they got it so fast, that it was going to be, not saying an easy night, but [that] it was going to be our night, because the previous two nights, we scored in the first five minutes and then didn’t quit scoring,” Andronic said.

Westview took advantage of sloppy midfield play to produce its goal.

“We made a bad pass right there and kind of let ourselves down,” Andronic said. “Good on them for finishing our mistake. We told

them [Westview] is a smart team. They’re going to play to our disadvantage. They’re going to try to plug in the defensive holes and try to frustrate us, and they did.”

Tolleson cleaned up its play in the second half, and came out of the break as the aggressors. The Wolverines pressured Westview into mishandling the ball a few times, and took advantage immediately.

Valdez collected the ball in the penalty area with his back to the goal, turned around with a defender marking him and fired a shot that beat Westview keeper Cristian Mena, giving Tolleson the 2-1 lead. Mena deflected the shot, but not enough to keep it from hitting the back of the net.

The Wolverines’ Cesar Martinez added a goal from the penalty spot with just over 22 minutes remaining in the game, and Kelvin Guerrero scored 10 minutes later to close the score sheet. “[Westview’s] game plan of what they wanted to do, they executed that in the first half,” Andronic said. “In the second half, it just came down to who wanted it more, I think. Again, they had a great team to counter our mistakes in the first half and frustrated us, but in the second half, we came out really strong and got that quick goal. We just told our guys at halftime [to] calm down, you’re just frustrating yourselves even more.”

The score sheet has been kind to the Wolverines so far. Five players have already tallied at least five goals this season. Guerrero and Uribe are tied for the team lead with seven apiece. Rayas has six, and Valdez and Martinez each have five.

Knights soccer Westview finished 2-1 in the Bulldog Invitational, beating St. Mary’s 5-1 and Sunrise Mountain 5-0 before losing to Tolleson.

Westview coach Stephen Bower said his team played five great halves during the tournament, conceding only two goals during that time. Things only got away from the Knights in the final half against Tolleson, (See Tolleson on Page 13)

when they conceded three goals.

“Last year, we averaged over three goals against per game, and now we’ve let in five total in three games,” Bower said.

“That’s what we’re trying to emphasize. [Today], it was kind of a problem. It wasn’t that we lost, it was that we let in so many goals in one half. For what we’re trying to do, and the shape that we’re working with, the new formation we’re working with, that’s just kind of unacceptable.”

Bower said tired legs from playing three games in three days might have been a contributing factor in the second half performance, but the team has already shown growth during the early portion of the season compared to last year.

“I told them at halftime, last year’s team, if we got scored on in the first few minutes, it would have been 4-0 at half,” Bower said. “That’s not the case [this year].”

The Knights entered the year with a young team, but so far it hasn’t hindered them. Sophomore forward Arlak has scored six goals in three games. He had the lone goal against Tolleson, and Bower said the underclassmen had the best showing in that game.

Bower said the boys were disappointed in the Tolleson loss, but reminded them the team gets another shot at the

top of the 18-yard box and lofted a shot over the goalie and into the net. Other than those two opportunities, Peoria’s keeper stymied Estrella in the first half.

“The game goes like that sometimes, you can have possession and the goals don’t go in,” Gonzalez said.

“Thankfully, they did start going in second half. The goalie did great, I thought they pressured us more in the first half than they did second half, but our girls woke up second half.”

Peoria had three quality chances in the first half, but Estrella goalie Kianna Munoz was up to the challenge in preserving the shutout.

In the second half, the scoring became rampant.

Estrella scored six times from five different players.

Alexis Hayes had the first two goals, then the Wolves got tallies from Rios, Abby Dayton, Anita Moreno and Sarah Stenz. The last four goals came in the final 13 minutes, as the Lady Wolves seemed to have broken Peoria’s spirit.

“It was kind of rough at the beginning, but we definitely picked it up,” Valencia said. “Coach gave us a little talk and we all pushed it and knew we wanted it.”

Rios’ goal was on a penalty kick. After the PK was awarded from the official, Gonzalez shouted to the field, “Who wants it?” Rios stepped up and knocked it in with a hard shot that glanced off the goalie’s hands and into the back of the net. It came on Rios’ special day.

“I just wanted to score on my birthday because I never really get to score because I’m defense,” Rios said. “With the new formation, I don’t get to go up a lot, so I was like, I want to take it.

“It felt really good. I was surprised it went in because I normally go to my left, and this time, I tried to go to my right and it didn’t work, it went down the middle and I got lucky.”

Estrella played in the Phoenix Country Day School tournament Dec. 2-3, winning all four games to claim the tournament championship. The Lady Wolves beat Chandler Valley Christian 2-1, Phoenix Camelback 9-0, Desert Edge 11-0 and Chandler Prep 4-0 in the finals.

The Lady Wolves returned to action Tuesday against Phoenix Shadow Ridge. The result was unavailable at press time. Their next game is at 6 p.m. Thursday when they host Peoria Sunrise Mountain.

Gonzalez has high hopes for the Lady Wolves, which went 12-5 last year and made the Division III state semifinals. She said she’s hopeful this group can push it a step further this year.

“We’re excited,” she said. “Most of the girls, we have a lot returning, and we were so close last year that they’re very hungry to go to the final. Our main goal is definitely to get the ring, but every game is our goal, just one game at a time.”

Wolverines in the regular season.

“That’s kind of what I tried to remind them,” he said.

“This doesn’t matter for power points, our pride’s just hurt. We wanted to come out and say we’re not the Westview from the last couple of years that’s just going to get pushed around, but that’s what they saw in the second half.”

The Knights are getting plenty of work on the pitch during practice, but they’re also taking training to the next level, Bower said.

“We’re filming for the first time ever,” he said. “Being able to watch that film and respond, and me critique and analyze and draw on the film for them, I’ve already heard from a couple of the players how helpful it’s been.”

Bower said the team’s soccer intelligence is high, which has helped get the ball rolling for early results.

“There’s always a learning curve, but when you have players that play as much as these guys do, we’re able to start doing things quicker because the fitness was there, because the familiarity was there,” he said. “We had been doing stuff in the summer and since school started. We didn’t have to worry about each other’s names or where they’re going to be.

We [were able] to work specifically on tactics.”

The Knights hosted Tempe Corona del Sol Tuesday.

“Thankfully, they did start going in second half. The goalie did great, I thought they pressured us more in the first half than they did second half, but our girls woke up second half.”

Peoria had three quality chances in the first half, but Estrella goalie Kianna Munoz was up to the challenge in preserving the shutout.

In the second half, the scoring became rampant.

Estrella scored six times from five different players.

Alexis Hayes had the first two goals, then the Wolves got tallies from Rios, Abby Dayton, Anita Moreno and Sarah Stenz. The last four goals came in the final 13 minutes, as the Lady Wolves seemed to have broken Peoria’s spirit.

“It was kind of rough at the beginning, but we definitely picked it up,” Valencia said. “Coach gave us a little talk and we all pushed it and knew we wanted it.”

Rios’ goal was on a penalty kick. After the PK was awarded from the official, Gonzalez shouted to the field, “Who wants it?” Rios stepped up and knocked it in with a hard shot that glanced off the goalie’s hands and into the back of the net. It came on Rios’ special day.

“I just wanted to score on my birthday because I never really get to score because I’m defense,” Rios said. “With the new formation, I don’t get to go up a lot, so I was like, I want to take it.

“It felt really good. I was surprised it went in because I normally go to my left, and this time, I tried to go to my right and it didn’t work, it went down the middle and I got lucky.”

Estrella played in the Phoenix Country Day School tournament Dec. 2-3, winning all four games to claim the tournament championship. The Lady Wolves beat Chandler Valley Christian 2-1, Phoenix Camelback 9-0, Desert Edge 11-0 and Chandler Prep 4-0 in the finals.

The Lady Wolves returned to action Tuesday against Phoenix Shadow Ridge. The result was unavailable at press time. Their next game is at 6 p.m. Thursday when they host Peoria Sunrise Mountain.

Gonzalez has high hopes for the Lady Wolves, which went 12-5 last year and made the Division III state semifinals. She said she’s hopeful this group can push it a step further this year.

“We’re excited,” she said. “Most of the girls, we have a lot returning, and we were so close last year that they’re very hungry to go to the final. Our main goal is definitely to get the ring, but every game is our goal, just one game at a time.”

“That’s kind of what I tried to remind them,” he said.

“This doesn’t matter for power points, our pride’s just hurt. We wanted to come out and say we’re not the Westview from the last couple of years that’s just going to get pushed around, but that’s what they saw in the second half.”

The Knights are getting plenty of work on the pitch during practice, but they’re also taking training to the next level, Bower said.

“We’re filming for the first time ever,” he said. “Being able to watch that film and respond, and me critique and analyze and draw on the film for them, I’ve already heard from a couple of the players how helpful it’s been.”

Bower said the team’s soccer intelligence is high, which has helped get the ball rolling for early results.

“There’s always a learning curve, but when you have players that play as much as these guys do, we’re able to start doing things quicker because the fitness was there, because the familiarity was there,” he said. “We had been doing stuff in the summer and since school started. We didn’t have to worry about each other’s names or where they’re going to be.

We [were able] to work specifically on tactics.”

The Knights hosted Tempe Corona del Sol Tuesday.

The result was not available at press time. Westview travels to Glendale Mountain Ridge Friday.

when they conceded three goals.

“Last year, we averaged over three goals against per game, and now we’ve let in five total in three games,” Bower said.

“That’s what we’re trying to emphasize. [Today], it was kind of a problem. It wasn’t that we lost, it was that we let in so many goals in one half. For what we’re trying to do, and the shape that we’re working with, the new formation we’re working with, that’s just kind of unacceptable.”

Bower said tired legs from playing three games in three days might have been a contributing factor in the second half performance, but the team has already shown growth during the early portion of the season compared to last year.

“I told them at halftime, last year’s team, if we got scored on in the first few minutes, it would have been 4-0 at half,” Bower said. “That’s not the case [this year].”

The Knights entered the year with a young team, but so far it hasn’t hindered them. Sophomore forward Arlak has scored six goals in three games. He had the lone goal against Tolleson, and Bower said the underclassmen had the best showing in that game.

Bower said the boys were disappointed in the Tolleson loss, but reminded them the team gets another shot at the

Tigers drop 2 close games to begin season Millennium looks to build experience for region run

by Shane McOwen sports writer

Millennium boys soccer dropped its first two powerpoints games of the season, 4-2 to Mesa Red Mountain Dec. 1 and 2-1 to Mesa Dec. 2.

The Tigers started out well against Red Mountain, leading 2-0. The lead BOYS wouldn’t last, though, as SOCCER Red Mountain equalized in the second half and scored twice in the overtime period to come away with the victory.

“We’ve got a young defense, and they came back in overtime to beat us,” Millennium coach Ben Ganados said.

Against Mesa, Ganados said he encouraged the team to rise to the challenge and play more cohesively. Even though the Tigers fell short, Ganados said he was happy with the improvement.

“It was a lot better of a performance tonight than last night,” he said. “We asked them to step up and give what they got. I was happy we had some opportunities, we just couldn’t convert.”

The game against Mesa was physical, and got a little chippy at times. Five yellow cards and two red cards were assessed in the game to both teams, with all but one coming in the second half.

“Just the nature of the game,” Ganados said. “We got more aggressive. I don’t mind my guys getting a yellow card for a hard play, but not for mouthing off.”

Mesa opened the scoring just 10 minutes into the game.

Jesus Tapia’s first shot was blocked by Millennium’s Emilio Medina, but the ball bounced back to Tapia, who was able to finish the second try to give Mesa the early lead.

The Jackrabbits were in control of the game up until the 27th minute when the Tigers’ Dante Reyes was brought down on a counterattack by Mesa center back Ivan Chaparro. Chaparro was given a straight red card and sent off. Reyes converted the penalty to tie the game at 1-1.

Millennium wasn’t able to capitalize on the man advantage in the second half. Mesa swarmed all over the field and produced a number of chances to take the lead, and eventually connected with 23 minutes remaining in the game.

Millennium didn’t get a solid chance at an equalizing goal, and lost its man advantage with 13 minutes remaining when Reyes was booked on a red for a dangerous late challenge on Mesa left back Brayan Morales. “[Mesa’s] a good team,” Ganados said. “Coach [T.J. Hagen] has got a good team, I’ve known him for a long time.”

Medina kept the Tigers in the game with strong play in goal, making numerous diving saves to deny Mesa’s attack.

“He saved us back there,” Ganados said.

Ganados said his young team still needs some time to

jell, particularly between the upper and underclassmen.

“I think the hardest thing — this is my 16th year here at Millennium — is trying to get the younger guys and older guys to mesh as a team, as a whole,” Ganados said.

“Once we do that, once we mesh together, we’ll be OK. “Hopefully, we’ll continue to improve. We have a lot of young players on defense, so hopefully, we’ll get more experience and come region time, we’ll be OK.” Millennium plays district foe Verrado away at 6 p.m.

Tigers drop 2 close games to begin season Millennium looks to build experience for region run

by Shane McOwen sports writer

Millennium boys soccer dropped its first two powerpoints games of the season, 4-2 to Mesa Red Mountain Dec. 1 and 2-1 to Mesa Dec. 2.

The Tigers started out well against Red Mountain, leading 2-0. The lead BOYS wouldn’t last, though, as SOCCER Red Mountain equalized in the second half and scored twice in the overtime period to come away with the victory.

“We’ve got a young defense, and they came back in overtime to beat us,” Millennium coach Ben Ganados said.

Against Mesa, Ganados said he encouraged the team to rise to the challenge and play more cohesively. Even though the Tigers fell short, Ganados said he was happy with the improvement.

“It was a lot better of a performance tonight than last night,” he said. “We asked them to step up and give what they got. I was happy we had some opportunities, we just couldn’t convert.”

The game against Mesa was physical, and got a little chippy at times. Five yellow cards and two red cards were assessed in the game to both teams, with all but one coming in the second half.

“Just the nature of the game,” Ganados said. “We got more aggressive. I don’t mind my guys getting a yellow card for a hard play, but not for mouthing off.”

Mesa opened the scoring just 10 minutes into the game.

Jesus Tapia’s first shot was blocked by Millennium’s Emilio Medina, but the ball bounced back to Tapia, who was able to finish the second try to give Mesa the early lead.

The Jackrabbits were in control of the game up until the 27th minute when the Tigers’ Dante Reyes was brought down on a counterattack by Mesa center back Ivan Chaparro. Chaparro was given a straight red card and sent off. Reyes converted the penalty to tie the game at 1-1.

Millennium wasn’t able to capitalize on the man advantage in the second half. Mesa swarmed all over the field and produced a number of chances to take the lead, and eventually connected with 23 minutes remaining in the game.

The Lobos certainly have the experience to make a run. Malique Collins, Mitchell, Sanders, Smith and Stevenson are returning to the starting lineup for the Lobos. Last season, the five combined for 52 points per game.

The senior-heavy group has allowed La Joya to start a couple of pages into the season’s book. The Lobos were able to dive right into scheme preparation without

having to battle the early speed bumps of players getting used to playing with each other. Practice time has even been cut down, because the team doesn’t have to repeat drills or plays as often, Lefebvre said.

La Joya hosted Mesa Desert Ridge Tuesday. The result was unavailable at press time.

The Lobos close out the week Thursday at Scottsdale Horizon and Friday at Glendale Mountain Ridge.

“The first two games we came out kind of slow, but then the last two games we definitely picked it up,” Lee said. “We played as a team.”

Youngker guard Natalie Jimenez reiterated Lee’s statements. She said the loss was disappointing, but the team just needs to fix its mistakes and then it will carry over to the court.

“We started off slow and it didn’t work out,” Jimenez said. “We just got to get back to it, gain confidence, do our thing on the court and hopefully the score will go up.”

Results for Tuesday’s game against Cave Creek Cactus Shadows were unavailable at press time. The Lady Roughriders will be back at home Thursday to take on Scottsdale Saguaro.

by Casey Pritchard sports editor

After a pair of lopsided defeats to open the season, Verrado’s boys basketball team got into the win column Dec. 2, giving new coach Chris Stark his first victory.

The Vipers beat Surprise Willow Canyon 73-59 at home.

“It’s good; it’s good for the kids,” Stark said.

“They’ve been BOYS working BASKETBALL hard and we’ve done so many different things schematically than what they’re used to, so to get a win, I feel good for them.”

The Vipers’ players have worked hard and been extremely coachable, Stark said.

“It’s hard when you’ve been doing something for a while and you have another guy come in who wants to do things so much different,” Stark said.

“I’m proud of them for sticking with it.

The first two games of the schedule were really difficult, really good teams, so it’s good for the kids to get some confidence.”

Verrado opened with a 60-42 loss at Gilbert Williams Field Nov. 29, then fell at Scottsdale Chaparral 72-44 two nights later. The Vipers’ first home game elicited a much different result.

“We’ve been progressively getting better,” Stark said. “Being at home, they were excited to play in front of friends and family, but we came out a little sluggish — I think we were trying too hard, trying to make plays. But I think every game we’re getting a little bit better, starting to execute better, and I hope we continue to get better one game at a time.”

Verrado struggled to find an offensive rhythm in the first half, and trailed nearly the entire opening 16 minutes. Down 23-18 with 3 minutes remaining in the second quarter, the Vipers finally put a run together to take the lead. Noah Barajas got a hoop inside, then Verrado got a steal and Jacob DelaTorre scored on a fastbreak to make it 23-22. Verrado’s ensuing possession gave it the lead, but not without some theatrics. The ball was lost down the right sideline, and Jacob Cunningham made a circus backhand flip to keep the play alive. The ball flew across the court to the other sideline, where after one bounce, Cooper Coleman had to jump out of bounds to flick it backward and save it. The ball ended up in Riley Morton’s hands, and he took it to the hoop and was fouled, converting the three-point play.

It was one of those things where we

JACOB DELATORRE, right, of Verrado jumps toward the hoop Dec. 2 as Willow Canyon’s K.J. Patrick trails behind. DeLaTorre had 12 points for the Vipers, who won 73-59 for their first victory. didn’t do really anything right on that play, and got extremely lucky,” Stark said.

“Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good.”

The acrobatic play made it 25-23, giving Verrado its first lead of the game.

“That was just an insane play,” Verrado sophomore center Shaun Wahlstrom said.

“Our guys are hustling hard, they tipped it to each other. It was a great save by Cunningham, Cooper did a great job of knocking it up in the air and then Riley going and getting it and going up strong.

It was just a great play. It was definitely a momentum boost.”

Willow Canyon recaptured the lead with 1:03 to play in the half, but Barajas answered with a hoop inside after a great pass from Cunningham, and the Vipers led 28-27 at halftime.

Second half Cunningham hit a 3-pointer to start the second half, and Verrado never trailed the rest of the way.

“We didn’t shoot the ball real well [from the outside] in the first half, I think we were 1 for 10 or 1 for 11, but to come out and hit our first 3 of the second half, I think it calmed everybody down,” Stark said. “We haven’t really shot the ball well all year, so it was nice to see the ball go through the bucket a little bit. Once we did that, that opens up a few more things.”

The biggest difference in the second half was Verrado’s transition game, which got it several easy buckets. The transition game was sparked by an improvement in defensive rebounding.

“Once we got those rebounds, and we kept them from getting offensive

rebounds, it gave us another opportunity to go out and run, which limits them and gives us our advantage, which we’re pretty good at getting out in transition,” Wahlstrom said.

Four Vipers scored in double figures, led by Wahlstrom and Jackson Morton with 15 points apiece. Wahlstrom got most of his points posting up inside.

“Shaun is young, but one of the things we’re trying to do is implement that lowpost game, and it’s all new to them, they haven’t really posted up a whole lot in the past,” Stark said. “They’re doing a really good job, they’re all buying in and they did a nice job tonight. We always want to get the ball down low, that’s our No. 1 emphasis, get the ball down low and then play off that, and it was nice to see Riley and Shaun and J.D. [DeLaTorre] do a nice job down there.”

DeLaTorre finished with 12 points, while Riley Morton added 10.

Cunningham just missed double figures with eight points.

“I thought he played really well,” Stark said. “We put him at the bottom of the zone, which is not an easy position to be in. To play a position that’s as demanding as that, there’s a lot of thought process that goes into it, and I’m pretty demanding of that position. So, he’s done a good job of that, and I thought he did a really good job of finding open guys, he seems to be around the ball a lot. He got some steals and then did a real nice job of giving opportunities to other people, and it was nice to see him hit a couple shots, too, because that’s obviously going to help you out.”

Verrado used a deep bench early in the game, but shortened it in the second half because of how well the first unit was playing, Stark said. However, Stark has made it a point of emphasis to give playing time to everybody.

“It’s such a long season, it’s not a sprint, so we’re going to need everybody on the bench,” he said. “Even if they didn’t play in games past, there’s injuries, sickness, all kinds of stuff, fatigue. We’re going to need everybody, so we’re trying to get as many people in as we can.”

Verrado is in the middle of another week in which it plays three games. The Vipers beat Glendale Raymond S. Kellis 56-40 Monday, and Tuesday played at Gilbert Campo Verde. The result was unavailable at press time. At 7 p.m.

Thursday, the Vipers travel to Glendale Independence.

Stark is excited about what the season has in store for the Vipers, he said.

“Everything is new, so because of that — I think we lost 12 guys — so all these guys are still learning the varsity game,” Stark said. “We’ve got a lot of young guys, Shaun being a sophomore, and even some of our seniors are inexperienced.

I think every game we continue to get better.”
