BAND MEMBER Muhammad Qasim practices in preparation for the Washington, D.C.,
competition.
Millennium High School’s marching band is
about to embark on the trip of a lifetime Oct. 9.
Four days and three nights in the nation’s
capital, culminating with an Oct. 11 performance
on a circular lawn at the Ellipse, a 52-acre public
park just south of the White House fence.
Such a trip has students on the Goodyear
campus proclaiming, “I’m with the band, man.”
Fortunately for senior Blake Garvin, he’s been
with the band since his freshman year.
“We talked about a trip to California like we
did my freshman year, but when [Band Director
Adam Malik] said we could go to D.C., I was
out of my mind,” Garvin said.
“I was really shocked,” junior Maggie Van
Dop said. “We’ve never done anything like that.”
California is the only state the 12-year-old
program has traveled to before at a cost of about
$500, Malik said.
The trip to Washington will require $180,000.
Fundraising 101
“We thought long and hard before we decided to
take it,” Malik said. “This maybe will be the only
chance any of these kids ever get to go there.”
The school got permission from the district
to take the trip in March, and the students have
been fundraising ever since, gathering about
$100,000 to date, Malik said.

Speed cameras being removed
View report
Workers have begun the removal of speedenforcement cameras that were activated on state
roadways in 2007.
After more than 2.7 million shutter clicks, the
controversial program was brought to a halt in
mid-July.
Included in the program were cameras at six
sites along a 24-mile stretch of Interstate 10 in
the Southwest Valley from 59th Avenue to Sun
Valley Parkway.
Also included were five camera sites along
Loop 101 in the West Valley between I-10 and
Olive Avenue.
On Sept. 7, crews for Redflex Traffic Systems
Inc., the operator of the system, began removing
the camera equipment.
The equipment is expected to be fully
removed by late November.
To minimize impacts on drivers, work is scheduled on weekdays during overnight hours, according
to the Arizona Department of Transportation.
No work is scheduled on Fridays, Mondays or
weekends, officials said.

The money has mainly come from parents of the 124
band members and tax credits, as well as some individual
fundraisers.
“I’ve held five bake sales at my church this summer,” said
Van Dop, one of the band’s drum majors. “Every bit helps.”
Saturday the band will take another route of gathering
money as it conducts a rummage sale from 7 to 11 a.m. in
the high school’s parking lot at 14802 W. Wigwam Blvd.
Band members will bring items from home to sell
“as long as they still work and are in good shape,” said
Garvin, a trumpet leader.
“I cleaned out my closet over the weekend,” Van Dop
said. “I have a lot of clothes to take.”
She also will be taking some baby toys that her family
no longer needs.
“Just your typical garage sale stuff,” Van Dop said.
After Saturday’s sale, band members will start a fundraiser on campus selling Little Caesar’s frozen pizza kits.
Plus, the band’s Web site, millenniumhighschoolband.
org, has a “chip in” option allowing people to donate.
“I tell the kids let’s get whatever help we can, even if
it’s only a $1,” Malik said.
“We do have a lot of work to do, but hopefully some of
the things we are planning will bring in a lot of money,”
Van Dop said.
“I don’t have any doubt that we won’t finish with the
full amount,” Garvin said.
“We have kids who can afford this trip and kids who
can’t as well,” Malik said. “And I will not leave anyone
behind. They are looking forward to it; to get out of the
state of Arizona and to see other competition, to see what
else is out there.”
(From Page 1)
Millennium is the only Arizona band at the event and
did not have to send in video of their performances, as the
event organizer is based in Mesa and knew of the band.
‘I thought we would have to do a big presentation and
send it to them on DVD,” Malik said. “They said, ‘No,
you’re fine. We’ve seen what you can do.’”
“It was exciting to know we were noticed,” Van Dop said.
The Washington event will award four top bands and
one grand champion.
Millennium is hoping to do better than they did at the
The Columbus Day event is dubbed Field Show USA

There’s a new school on the educational block this year.
Mabel Padgett Elementary made its debut earlier this
month, welcoming about 740 pupils and 37 teachers into
its shiny new classrooms.
The elementary is the 14th and newest school for the
Litchfield Elementary School District. It is at 15430 W.
Tourney Lane in Goodyear.
Mabel Padgett is named after the first teacher in the district, who taught all subjects — plus Sunday School — to
less than 20 pupils in 1917, according to district officials.
The school’s mascot is the panther and its colors are
black and gold, Principal Gina DeCoste said. Both were
chosen by pupils through online voting.
The campus layout is similar to other schools in the
district, DeCoste said.
Entry through the main
doors is showcased beneath
sturdy wooden beams,
giving the building an
outdoor, craftsman-style
feel to it.
Five classrooms are
available per grade level
and are connected to a
“teacher work area.”
Teachers from the same
grade level meet in the work
zone to collaborate and
brainstorm, DeCoste said.
Most furniture in the
pod is built with computer
access in mind.
“Since we have wireless net book cards and
wireless access through the
whole school, we did a lot
of furniture with the laptop
arms,” she said.
The school has both a
gymnasium, which also
features the architecture of
high wooden beams, and a
cafeteria.
The double feature is
new to some teachers who
transferred from Palm
Valley Elementary, where
the lunch room and gym
were combined.
Cassie Johnston, a fifthgrade teacher, transferred
from Palm Valley.
“I love the new building,” she said. “It’s got
some similar traits and
some unique traits. The
kids like having their own
actual PE building.”
Only four brand new
teachers were hired to open
Mabel Padgett, DeCoste said.
Everyone else came from
schools within the district.
The majority of pupils
came from Litchfield,
Palm Valley and Corte
Sierra elementaries. Those
schools were at or exceeding capacity.
“The majority of the
teachers that are at this
school put that they wanted
to open a new school,”
DeCoste said. “They were
up for an adventure. It was
something they’d never
done before and wanted to
do one time in their career.”
Challenges abound with
opening a new school. This
is DeCoste’s first year as

a principal, though she’s had 17 years in education. The
last four were as the special education director for the
district.
A brand new school means brand new everything —
setting bus, lunch, daily and duty schedules.
Because teachers were primarily coming from other
schools within the district, brainstorming sessions were
organized to look at the pros and cons of how those
schools functioned. The best practices were taken and
implemented for Mabel Padgett, DeCoste said.
“This is an amazing experience, for our teachers, our
kids and for me. It’s one of the neatest things I’ve done in
my life,” she said.

Man, 77, celebrates 18 years at EMCC gym
by Frank Morris
staff writer
Bob Vehock is a 77-year-old superman.
Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday he wakes up
with the sun, throws on his gym attire, and heads to
Estrella Fitness Center for an hour-long workout.
He’s been doing this for 18 years.
“Bob was one of our original members when we first
opened up in 1992. He’s been continuously enrolled ever
since, and the only person to be as continuously enrolled
that long,” said Lyle Bartelt, manager of the fitness center
at Estrella Mountain Community College in Avondale.
Bartelt oversees the ongoings of the center, which
now enrolls approximately 600 members and is about to
celebrate its re-grand opening.
He describes Vehock as “part of the morning crew,” a group
of students and community members who show up like clockwork each day to make sure they stay physically fit.
“It’s a very disciplined group who stays motivated on
a consistent level. We’re a smaller facility, so people tend
to know each other, and they certainly get to know us.
The social support is so important to maintaining healthy
habits,” Bartelt said.
And the social atmosphere is just one of the reasons
Vehock keeps going back, the west Phoenix resident said.
“I don’t think there’s a person at the gym who doesn’t
say hi this or hi that,” Vehock said. “The people that run
the place really are outstanding. I don’t think I’ve met a
person there I didn’t like. It’s like a little mini family.”
Of course, the notion of staying in shape and healthy
is the other reason Vehock makes the center part of his
weekly regimen.
“Ninety percent of people don’t stick to an exercise
routine because they expect too much too fast,” Vehock
said. “I always tell people, and this is a quote of mine, the
absolute hardest thing about exercising is getting [to the
gym]. Once you get there, it’s simple.”
A new lifestyle begins
Vehock began exercising at age 55 when he retired
from Western Electric Co. after 34 years of service.
“I had no intention of retiring that early. But when I
did, I sat back and I woke up in the morning, grabbed
some coffee, read a paper and tossed a coin to figure out
what I was going to do next,” he said. “So, I thought,
‘What the heck, I’ll join a club.’”
Vehock tried two other facilities in the Maryvale area
before Estrella Mountain Community College opened the
doors to its fitness center.
“The fitness center was one of the original programs at
Estrella Mountain. At the time there was very little other
major development out here,” Bartelt said. “We were the
BOB VEHOCK, 77, has been working out at Estrella Mountain Community College in Avondale since its
fitness center opened in 1992. The center is celebrating its re-grand opening Sept. 18, when Vehock will be
honored.
only fitness center of our size in our immediate service
area. Of course over the years, lots of houses have been
built and new fitness centers open, but we pretty much
offer anything anyone needs to live a fit and healthy life.”
That’s largely true, Vehock said.
His routine begins with a few stretching exercises,
followed by various workouts on a variety of machines,
targeting muscles on his legs, midriff and upper body.
As a general rule of thumb, Vehock will attempt at
least one set of 15 repetitions of each exercise — never
exceeding 100 pounds in weight.
“I try to proportion myself to hit everything somewhat.
But it depends on how I feel. I don’t want to push myself
too much to where I hurt myself,” he said. “I do it for
exercise. I’m not trying to be an Arnold Schwarzenegger.”
Eating the right foods and choosing appropriate lifestyle
habits, such as not smoking, also go hand in hand with regular exercise for living a healthy life, Vehock said.
“You got to control your appetite. Me and my wife
don’t eat junk food; we eat a lot of vegetables and fruit.
We’re the type of people that go out to eat maybe twice a
week and that’s it,” he said.
“And what always gets my goat is there’s a table of
nursing students outside the fitness center — and half of
them smoke,” he added.
Vehock will be honored, along with other members of
Estrella Fitness Center, during the club’s re-grand opening to take place from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday.
“It makes me feel good. I think it’s a nice gesture on their
part,” he said. “Exercise is the reason I’m still here. I get up,
and I really think it kind of rejuvenates me. If I didn’t exercise for the last 18 years, who knows where I’d be?”

opening activities and membership rates, call 623-935-8400

Avondale has joined in a nationwide
effort to promote a hands-only technique
for saving heart-attack victims.
Residents may sign up for free training
this month in hands-only cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, or CPR.
The life-saving technique, which is
gaining popularity throughout the United
States, also is known as continuous chest
compression, or CCC.
In Avondale, the training is part of CPR
Across America, a yearlong campaign that
has a goal of training 50,000 people in handsonly CPR, said Art Snapp, a division chief
and spokesman for Avondale Fire-Rescue.
The training will be offered from 7 to 8
p.m. Sept. 20 at the Avondale Community
Center, 1007 S. Third St. Advance registration is not required.
Avondale is one of more than 20 Ari-
zona communities to offer the regimen,
Snapp said.
Emergency-service experts say the
hands-only approach is revolutionary
because it removes mouth-to-mouth contact from the resuscitation process.
Instead, the emphasis is on delivering
rapid chest compressions. Mannequins are
used to teach the CPR technique.
Unlike traditional CPR, hands-only
CPR concentrates solely on chest com-
pressions, not mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, causing a continual circulation of
blood through a heart-attack victim’s brain
and heart.
Deep compressions that allow for full
chest recoil are delivered at the rate of
about 100 per minute without interruption,
according to experts.

OUR VIEWPOINT
BAGLEY’S OPINION — Salt Lake Tribune
EDITORIAL
The public’s
right to know
must prevail
Several readers have questioned the West Valley View’s
motives and wisdom in publishing recent stories about two
local public school employees accused of sexual misconduct
with students. These are legitimate questions.
Newspapers across the country constantly wrestle with how to
report such cases. On one hand, it’s easy for a vindictive student
to destroy a teacher’s career with a false accusation. On the other
hand, sexual misconduct is a real problem in public schools, and
a problem that is unreported is a problem that never gets solved.
In 2007, the Associated Press investigated 2,500 cases
in which educators had been punished for sexual misconduct between 2001 and 2005. The AP study also found that
most abuse cases go unreported, and in many of those that
are reported, no action is taken against the accused school
employee. Many victims accept settlement deals and sign confidentiality agreements. In many cases, school districts quietly
fire teachers accused of sexual misconduct without filing
police complaints. The teachers then are able to move on to
other districts that are unaware of the accusations.
Still, some teachers are falsely accused and their reputations destroyed.
Last week, we published an editorial stating that what happened to Brian Willner, a teacher at Agua Fria Union High
School, never should have happened because the evidence
against him seemed flimsy from the start. In a letter to the
editor in today’s issue, Dorothy Morris of Phoenix says we
“neglected to include the West Valley View’s role in destroying the reputation of Brian Willner.”
In a story Friday, we outlined the allegations that had been
filed against Tonopah Valley High School football coach Ray
Karvis when he was a teacher in Quincy, Ill., 12 years ago,
and we have received several comments from his supporters
angry that we reported these past charges and his conviction
on lesser charges after he made a plea deal.
So, why did we publish these stories?
Newspapers have a moral responsibility to report about
such cases. If the charges prove to be untrue, we have a moral
responsibility to report that as well. We entrust public schools
with the care of our children and we hold the people who
have that responsibility to a higher standard than most other
people. Parents certainly have a right to know when a school
employee who has had contact with their children has been
accused or convicted of inappropriate behavior with a student.
Parents need that information so they can make the decisions
they deem appropriate to protect their own children. Imagine if you were the parent of the third or fourth sexual abuse
victim because information about a teacher’s first victims had
gone unreported to police or been swept under the carpet to
protect the school district from negative publicity.
Such cases are also of interest to other stakeholders: the
people who pay taxes to the school district, because they have
a right to know how the people they employ are handling
the situation; and the people who pay taxes to the city whose
police department is investigating the case to ensure that their
tax money is being spent wisely. Investigations themselves
cost money and in the event that the charges later prove
groundless, the lawsuits that follow cost money. Where does
that money come from? Out of your pocket.
Ms. Morris also says “it’s your job to verify the information you print.” We did. The information we published — that
a teacher was being investigated, what the allegations were,
and what the police reports said — was accurate and verified
through public documents. In such cases, we have a responsibility to be fair as well as accurate, so we got statements from
Mr. Willner’s defense attorneys countering the prosecutors’
charges, and we published those, too.
Why did we run a police booking photo (the kind that always
makes someone look guilty) with the previous stories, but a
more flattering picture with the article announcing the charges
had been dismissed? Simply because before the charges were
dismissed, the police mug shot, which is a public document,
was the only photo of Mr. Willner that had been made available
to the press. After the judge dismissed the charges, Mr. Willner’s attorneys e-mailed the other photo to newspapers. Why
they didn’t do it before is anyone’s guess, but neither we nor the
other papers that covered this case had any control over that.
Reporting about any criminal case can be a challenge. We
must balance the rights of an individual who might be innocent against the rights of the public to know about alleged
criminal activity in their community. Ultimately, the public’s
right to know must be the priority.
OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Let’s establish
term limits
Editor:
We the people of Arizona need
to elect new representatives in
D.C. John McCain is long overdue
to be retired from D.C. He spent
$20 million to get 28,000 votes in
the primary. That’s $78,000 per
vote. Now that is insane.
To stop this insanity, we need
to enact a state “Federal Congressional Service” term limit. That
is to say, a citizen of Arizona
cannot serve more than two terms
in Congress. We need to make
it illegal for an Arizona citizen
to campaign for a congressional
office after he or she has served
two terms in Congress.
Ralph T. Bradbeer

Letter writer
missed the point
Editor:
As is usually the case with the
left, Mr. Cofer (Sept. 7 letters)
has conveniently missed the
point. Nobody has said that the
president could not, or should
not, use Air Force One. What
people are doing is pointing out
the hypocrisy of the president.
When George W. Bush was
in the White House, he was not
telling the American people that
we must “tighten our belts,”
then hop on to Air Force One for
“date night” in New York City.
George H.W. Bush did not
stand on a beach in the gulf, after
an oil spill, and tell America
that it’s clean and safe, so come
vacation here. Then, fly away to
Martha’s Vineyard.
Ronald Reagan did not say,
“We are in the worst economic
crisis since the Great Depression.” Then Nancy cruises off
to Spain with about 40 of her
friends and family.
Every president can and should
use Air Force One. But, when
you have 10 percent of the country out of work, and businesses
going bankrupt, it is hypocritical
for the president to be taking
extravagant and frivolous vacations while he’s telling the rest of
the country that they shouldn’t.
View should
apologize
Editor:
Several years ago, America’s
Most Wanted aired a story
about several women motorists
who had been stopped by an
unmarked police car. As it turned
out, the “officers” were not officers at all and the women were
raped and murdered. In response
to these incidents, America’s
Most Wanted cautioned all drivers against stopping when the
vehicle is not clearly marked.
I appreciate Buckeye’s efforts
in trying to slow drivers down;
however, wouldn’t parking an
empty police vehicle along the
side of the road succeed in slowing down the traffic without scaring the motorist or spending the
money on a sporty new vehicle?
Editor:
Regarding [the Sept. 7 editorial] “Charges dropped, but a
reputation still lies in ruins,” you
neglected to include the West
Valley View’s role in destroying
the reputation of Brian Willner.
I agree that the AFUHSD acted
lawfully and responsibly as they
must where the safety of students
is concerned. I hope they will
be responsible and honorable in
their treatment of this man now
that he has been cleared of the
alleged crime.
You were correct in criticizing
the Avondale Police Department
for their handling of the investigation. Specific and later proven
untrue details of the investigation
should never have been released
to the press. But it is your job to
verify the information you print.
Not doing so makes you culpable.
It did not go without notice
that you used a photo of Mr.
Willner that made him look like
a criminal in all of your earlier
reports. I imagine many people
looked at the photo and headlines
then formed a judgment about
this man before even reading
the articles. When the case was
dropped, you switched the photo
to a different and more positive
photo of Mr. Willner. In no way
does this make up to Mr. Willner
for your reports against him.
If the West Valley View’s editorial was an attempt to apologize
to Mr. Willner for your complicity

Burning Qurans
is a bad idea
Editor:
I am amused weekly by news
in your fine newspaper about
the town of Buckeye. The other
day there was an article about a
town garden, (of course donations were requested to help with
that venture). A garden might not
be a bad idea — with all the tax
increases, we may need one.
Then there is the news about
the fast Mustang the cops got
to play with; this is in addition
to the motorcycles they got free
from the state (all this is not free
it comes from taxes). I guess the
cops need toys too. After all, the
fire department has a nice big
ladder truck (the tallest building in Buckeye is the high-dollar
town hall) and we must not forget
their fire truck video driving game
unit that was free also (taxes).
I am also amused how the town
elected officials and our state
leaders tell us how they have saved
education, public safety and balanced the budget, but how have
they performed this great achievement? They raised taxes! Any
imbecile could have achieved the
same results with little or no effort.
Editor:
I have a question about this burning of the Quran. With everything
that has happened in the world and
country’s past, are we any different
from other world cultures? If this
event is to go into affect, what are
we really trying to prove? Is all of
this really worth a religious war-tocome? Think about it.
This may be in our children’s
or their children’s history books.
Not all Islamic people are bad.
A Quran is like a Bible. They are
both just books with words.
Throughout this country’s past,
we must be honest with ourselves
and also see the big picture. We
can be hypocrites. We are starting a war that doesn’t have to
be a war. Religion vs. religion?
There will be chaos.
Are we going to teach our children that all Muslims are evil?
It sounds like history is repeating itself. Doesn’t the Bible say,
“Love your enemies?”
This pastor is taking this
too far. It is only his opinion.
Granted, we are a free country
and we have freedom of speech
and freedom of religion. What if
this is part of the enemy’s plan
to turn us against each other
through religion? Build the
mosque down the street. Everyone should look ahead of this. It
will be vandalized, Muslims will
be hated, the U.S. will be hated,
religious war will break out and
Bibles and Qurans will be burned
all because one “pastor” started
a fight and took something small
and made it big.
I am 16 and a junior in high
school. This burning of the Quran
is sending me a bad message.

Keep successful
team together
Editor:
A few years ago, Saddle
Mountain Unified School District
was in dire straits — consistent
budget over expenditures, misallocation of funds, falling test
scores, and low graduation rates
to name a few.
The parents of SMUSD had
enough when our district was
placed into receivership and
removed the superintendent from
her position. Veriti Consulting was
appointed by the state to oversee
the management of the district.
A successful recall drive
was started. Kim Mechum,
Dave Masch and Paul Roetto
dethroned Dan Blackson, Ken
Blackson and Cathy Torres from
their board positions.
The new board quickly went
to work, hiring a highly qualified business manager, Sandy
Wilkins, to get the budget in
order, and an interim superintendent to handle day-to-day issues,
who also aided with the search for
a permanent superintendent, Dr.
Mark Joraanstad. These actions
proved true leadership and Veriti
Consulting stepped back and
assumed an oversight role. The
team, while working on a highly
reduced budget, was able to put
the district back in the black while
maintaining current programs.
The team suffered a blow
as Chuck Jones had to step
down. Cathy Flynt was selected
over Dan Blackson by the state
during a very involved process.
In a few short years these goals
have been met:
• Balanced budget and longterm payback plan.
• All schools have a rating of
Performing or better.
• Improved test scores across
the district.
• Higher graduation rate.
The main goal is to be removed
from receivership. The leadership
team has met all of the state’s
expectations and hope the Legislature votes to remove SMUSD
from the receivership list.
Keep this highly successful
team together. Vote for Gary
Burton and Cathy Flynt for the
SMUSD school board Nov. 2.

cloud. They came here illegally
or remained here illegally after a
legal visit.
Most of them contribute to our
society. They pick our food, build
our buildings, clean up our yards
and clean our houses, cook our
meals, wash our clothes and our
cars and look after our children.
These immigrants obey the
laws as well as those of us who
had the good fortune of being
born here. They violated the law
coming or staying here, but other
than that, they aren’t that different. The few crooks should be
held accountable.
These Mexicans, Central
Americans, South Americans,
and a few Canadians and
other “illegals” pay taxes and
spend their wages in our economy. They have children born
here who are American citizens.
Immigrants use our taxsupported social services. So do
citizens. Studies seem to indicate
that what undocumented immigrants contribute economically
and what they take come close
to balancing out. They may take
very slightly more than what they
contribute, on balance, but it is
not a huge cost to society.
Undocumented immigrants
are a part of the fabric of our
society and our economy. They
are human. They worry about the
same day-to-day things you and
I worry about. We need not fear
them.
Law enforcement should
pursue, capture, contain and
bring to justice criminals because
they are criminals, not because
of their immigration status. Let’s

City wastes
money on art
Editor:
After living here five years
because Goodyear was where
my husband would work and
Goodyear advertised it would be
the next Scottsdale, Goodyear is
a big disappointment!
Goodyear has no real library,
senior center, community center
or mall (what is the update on
that?) and only limited restaurants, but we have art!
There is the art in PebbleCreek
on the fire station — very lovely
if you live there. There are the
Goodyear signs, which caused an
uproar. The benches on Western,
while very nice, it seems it would
have been better to create a nice
main street area to put them on
— complete waste of money.
All of these projects seem like
a lot of money to spend on art in
tough economic times and when
you are raising the sales tax in
your city. Personally, I don’t
want to pay for art right now; I
would like to see a real community center built and a library that
is functional. What is the status
on City Center? Infrastructure
seems more important than art.
Goodyear has many median
strips that are not maintained,
they need weeded. We need more
police officers.
Then there is the graffiti — an
ongoing problem for our HOA.
Now Goodyear is sponsoring a
program for residents to clean
it up for them! No way! Our
Spray While
You Wait.
Truck Bed Protection

HOA pays to have it cleaned up
as soon as it happens, because
Goodyear will fine us if we leave
it there. Goodyear should have
budgeted for that, not art.
If the money was already
budgeted for art, then
move the money to another
fund. Goodyear has real needs
and a Park and Ride art project is
not one of them.
This is not a responsible way
to spend the citizens’ money in
these economic times.

Don’t re-elect
Dan Blackson
Editor:
Recent editions of the View
have documented Dan Blackson’s attempt to run again for
a seat on the Saddle Mountain
Unified School District Governing Board and the fact that some
current members have stated
publicly that they would not wish
to serve with him.
Mr. Blackson presided over
the SMUSD Governing Board
during much of the time this
district irresponsibly overspent
its annual revenue control limit,
eventually accumulating approximately $3.5 million in debt. Consequently, SMUSD was placed
into financial receivership by
the state for “gross mismanagement.” Even today, SMUSD continues to pay on this debt to
Maricopa County.
Mr. Blackson’s signature
appears on the contract that
allowed Turner Construction to
leave the sewage treatment facility needed at the Ruth Fisher/
Tonopah Valley site uncompleted without penalty and
without reimbursement of funds
expended. This project was never
completed; and a contemplated
lawsuit against Turner was
deemed unwinnable by SMUSD
attorneys because of the terms
incorporated into the contract
that Mr. Blackson presumably
reviewed before signing.
As the result of these failures,
as well as others, and his unwillingness to acknowledge or incorporate the public view urging the
oversight and the policy changes
that were so clearly needed at the
time, Mr. Blackson was recalled
— an act by the voters effectively terminating his service.
Combine Mr. Blackson’s
tattered resume with the fact
that some who now serve on
the SMUSD Governing Board
have publicly stated that they
do not wish to serve with him,
and one easily concludes that
this is a candidacy beyond
salvation. In my view, no
informed and intelligent citizen could have his claim
that he exercised due care in
exercising his right to vote
ascribed with any credibility if
he sought to have Dan Blackson elected to the SMUSD
Governing Board.

This column passes on West Valley business items that
may not have the volume of a full story, but which are of
enough interest to warrant telling you about. Instead of
just carrying them around, I share them with you from
my “business briefcase.”
•••••
How is everybody? Hopefully well. Before we dive into
all things Buckeye, where the
Briefcase Kia spent a lovely morning/afternoon, let’s clear up one
item from last week’s column.
Eric Stine, the Arizona franchise
owner for Freddy’s Frozen Custard, reached out to Mr. Briefcase
after reading last week’s column.
In a nutshell, he still plans on
opening up his Goodyear location
— the former Fazoli’s at 1340 N.
Litchfield Road — by the end of
the year. Initially it was set to open
in the summer of 2009, but long
story short, he opened two other
Rich Ott
locations first, one in Gilbert and
in about a week, a Flagstaff store.
Unforeseen delays made Stine head north before opening the
Goodyear location, but he plans to return as soon as Flagstaff
is up and running to finish tenant improvements, which are
already about 60 percent done, he said. Plus, his Goodyear
management team is already undergoing training at his two
opened stores, which include his first one on the southeast
corner of Bell Road and 51st Avenue in Glendale. Goodyear
will be Stine’s fourth Freddy’s Frozen Custard store.
Now to Buckeye, and let’s begin with a favorite topic of
Mr. Briefcase, food, because we all have to eat. Memphis
Best BBQ at 608 E. Monroe Ave. temporarily closed about
a week ago. Owner and founder Darryl Alexander spoke to
Mr. Briefcase via telephone from his Phoenix location in
the community of Laveen. Basically, he is training a new
management team right now that will reopen his Buckeye
locale in about two weeks, Alexander said.
“I went culinary,” he said. What he meant is his new
staff all had previously worked in the culinary industry.
When the restaurant reopens, it will be from 11 a.m. to 8
p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Soon, Alexander won’t
be running either of his two locations, as he will focus on
the catering arm of Memphis Best BBQ.
“I’ll be managing from afar,” he said.
While we’re on the topic of food, let’s continue with

Arizona Frybread at 903 E. Monroe Ave., the former
site of Buckeye’s original Sonic Drive In, which moved
to a new building at 1111 E. Highway 85 in 1999 —
there’s your history lesson for the day.
Back to Arizona Frybread, which sells, you guessed
it, fry bread. The restaurant offers 11 different variations
of fry bread, from “lil vincie,” which has steak and potatoes and pico de gallo on top, to the Buckeye ultimate,
which is covered with beans, cheese, red chili, green
chili, lettuce and tomatoes. The business also makes a
variety of quesadillas, including the carne asada (marinated steak with melted cheese) to the nopalito (beans,
cheese, cactus tomatoes, onions and cilantro). They also
had some big muffins available for purchase as well.
Hours at Arizona Frybread are 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Monday through Saturday.
Another opening to report in the food industry:
Domino’s Pizza is taking orders at 6213 S. Miller Road,
Suite 102.
In that same 21,000-square-foot plaza on the southeast
corner of Miller and Southern Avenue, The Barber on
Miller in Suite 108 opened Sept. 10. Hours are 9 a.m. to
7 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday
and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.
Also, e-institute, a charter high school, has opened in
Suites 109-111. The campus just started Sept. 8 with 21
students. The school allows children to work in a computerized-environment at their own pace, to speed up or slow
down the high school process.
The Buckeye location is the fifth e-institute in the
state. There are three class times available, 7:30 to 11:30
a.m., 12:20 to 4:20 p.m. and 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. The principal at the Buckeye location is Bonnie Graham.
While we’re talking about education, the Odyssey
Preparatory Academy has moved into its permanent
facilities, a 33,000-square-foot campus that has 28 classrooms at 6500 S. Apache Road. However, they already hit
capacity and have four classrooms being held in portable
buildings. The wait list for the campus is 150 long, said
one of its two principals, Holly Johnson. The charter
school serves children in the first to seventh grade, and
will continue adding a grade a year until they reach 12.
Odyssey kept its former temporary facility at 4290 S.
Miller Road, Suite 112, and houses its kindergarten students there, as well as the Iliad Academy, its preschool.
Iliad is open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays. Part of the
preschool’s curriculum includes music, physical education, sign language and Spanish.
Moving on, Great China at 1300 S. Watson Road,
Suite 109, closed. The owners were locked out of the
premises on Aug. 23 according to a note on the door.
Around the corner from the closed restaurant in Fry’s
Marketplace, the Little Clinic has opened inside. Hours are
8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to
5:30 p.m. Saturday and 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Sunday. Staff
at the Little Clinic are licensed and board-certified advanced
registered nurse practitioners (ARNPs) and certified physician assistants. The staff can write prescriptions for certain
illnesses, including respiratory, sinus and ear infections, as
well as treat minor injuries. The staff also performs physicals
for students and gives vaccinations.
Elsewhere, Cloud 9 Massage opened in August at
7707 SW Highway 85, Suite 109. Hours are 10 a.m. to 9
p.m. Monday through Saturday, however they close at 5
p.m. on Wednesday.
Let’s wrap up this Buckeye tour with a bit of sad news.
Party with Heart and Sol at 21765 W. Yuma Road,
Suite 105, closed last week. It was located between
Xtreme Clothing and K&K Barber, now the final two
businesses that have been at the 5-acre center, Sundance
Crossings, since it opened more than two years ago.
At the same center, a sign proclaims Mountain Shadows Family Dental is coming soon to Suite 101.
And now you know what I know.

legs feel weak at times. Maybe you’ve
even been to other doctors and they
claim all the tests indicate you should
feel fine.
If You Read Nothing Else,
Read This:
More than 20 million Americans suffer
from peripheral neuropathy, a problem
caused by damage to the nerves that
supply your arms and legs.
This painful condition interferes with
your body’s ability to transmit messages
to your muscles, skin, joints, or internal
organs. If ignored or mistreated,
neuropathy can lead to irreversible health
conditions.
Why not get help by those trained to
correct the major cause of peripheral
neuropathy. Read the full facts on this
page.
More Pills Are Not The
Solution
A common treatment for many nerve
problems is the ‘take some pills and
wait and see’ method.
While this may be necessary for
temporary relief of severe symptoms,
using them long term is no way to live.
Some of the more common drugs
given include pain pills, anti-seizure
mediations, and anti-depressants
-- all of which have serious side
effects.
The Likely Cause Of
Your Problem
Could This Be Your
Solution?
My name is Dr. David Rusick, clinic
director at Rusick Chiropractic. I’ve been
helping people with neuropathy and
nerve problems for more than 9 years.
It’s time for you to find out if chiropractic
will be your neuropathy solution.
For 14 days only, $20 will get you all
the services I normally charge new
patients $257 for! What does this offer
include? Everything. Take a look at
what you will receive:
Often neuropathy is caused by a
degenerating spine pressing on the
nerve roots. This can happen in any
of the vertebral joints from the neck all
the way down to the tail bone.
The good news is that chiropractic
treatments have proven effective in
helping to remove the pressure on
the nerves.
By using gentle techniques, I’m able to
release the pressure that has built up
on the nerve. This allows the nerve to
heal and the symptoms to go away.
For example, numerous studies have
proven chiropractic’s effectiveness in
helping nerve conditions.
Patients showed an 85.5% resolution
of the nerve symptoms after only 9
chiropractic treatments. - Journal of
Chiropractic Medicine 2008
With chiropractic care, patients had
“significant improvement in perceived
comfort and function, nerve conduction
and finger sensation overall.” – JMPT
1998
“Significant increase in grip strength
and normalization of motor and
sensory latencies were noted.
Orthopedic tests were negative.
Symptoms dissipated.” – JMPT 1994
What these studies mean is that you
could soon be enjoying life...without
those aggravating nerve problems.
1. An in-depth consultation about
your health and well-being where
I will listen…really listen…to the
details of your case.
2. A complete neuromuscular
examination.
3. A full set of specialized x-rays
to determine if a spinal problem
is contributing to your pain or
symptoms… (NOTE: These would
normally cost you at least $100).
4. A thorough analysis of your exam
and x-ray findings so we can start
mapping out your plan to being pain
free.
5. I’ll answer your most probing
questions about nerve problems and
how chiropractic can help.
Until October 1, 2010 you can get
everything I’ve listed here for only
$20. The normal price for this type of
evaluation including x-rays is $257, so
you’re saving a considerable amount

Holding out for a hero
Johnny Garcia was busy working toward a college
degree in business management when his life took an
unexpected turn.
The 21-year-old Litchfield Park resident wasn’t sure
what to think when he began experiencing severe chest
and leg pains. The worst was confirmed in April: Garcia
was battling leukemia.
“I never thought something like this would happen to
me,” Garcia said. “It’s put a lot of stuff on hold.”
Garcia recently went through his fourth round of
chemotherapy, spending a few weeks at Banner Estrella
Medical Center each time. After the treatments, which
leave him weak and nauseated, he has to remain hospitalized until his body rebuilds its immunity enough that he
can safely return to his normal routine of daily life.
“My parents come and stay with me when I’m going
through chemo,” he said. “I sleep a good amount. I am
really tired. Some days I just don’t feel good.”
Garcia tries to smile and be optimistic as he endures
the treatment. On one wall of the hospital room, he has a
photo of Kim Kardashian. On another wall, he has religious cards and statues.
Seeking a marrow match
The biggest obstacle for Garcia is finding a bone
marrow match. The young man needs a bone marrow
transplant and his family members do not match. The
odds of siblings matching are one in four. Neither of
Garcia’s two brothers is a match for him.
“You’re more likely to find a match in someone who is Hispanic for Johnny. And minorities are very underrepresented in
the pool,” said Dr. Anjali Iyengar, a hematologist oncologist.
Part of the reason many people, especially minorities,
are not joining the national bone marrow registry is a
misconception about what it entails, the doctor said.
“There’s a lack of education about it in the community,
especially in the Hispanic community,” she said. “There’s
a misconception that donating is very painful and it’s not.
You donate through an IV and you don’t need anesthesia
or anything most of the time.”
Garcia’s desperate search for a bone marrow match has
led his nurses to go above and beyond their 12-hour shifts
to see him through.
Drive for the love of Johnny
“We’ve all fallen in love with Johnny,” nurse Korinne
Ashlock said. “He’s a great kid.”
Ashlock looks forward to helping Garcia through his
days at Banner Estrella, she said. His situation hits close
to home for her.
“My brother was the same age as him when he died of
leukemia,” she said. “We want to find him a match. It’s
like my personal goal.”

“Our People Make The Difference”

Monday – Friday 7-6
Saturday 7-5
nurses in oncology at Banner Estrella have organized
a bone marrow registry drive. The drive will take place
from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sept. 18 at the hospital, which is
on Thomas Road just east of Loop 101.
All it takes to join the bone marrow registry is to have
a swab done inside your mouth. Results go into a national
registry where you could potentially be matched with
anyone in the country who is seeking a donor. The odds of
matching someone unrelated are not great, which is why
patients such as Garcia need all the chances they can get.
Anyone 18 to 60 can join the registry free of charge
at the Sept. 18 drive. There’s a chance you will never be
contacted as a match for anyone. There is also a chance
you could be a potential lifesaver for someone. Donating requires about a week of some discomfort, Garcia’s
nurses said.
“For him, it’s so important,” one of his nurses said. “I
would donate to anyone at any time. A little discomfort is a
tiny price to pay to save someone’s life.”
For information about the registry and the donation process, visit the Be the Match program at www.marrow.org.
While Garcia is young and is handling treatments well,
he needs a transplant soon, his doctor said. He could
potentially go through four more rounds of chemotherapy, but a bone marrow transplant at this time would be
best and reduce his risk of reoccurrence.
“It’s really great what they are doing,” Garcia said. “All
of my nurses are really cool.”

Wounded Owls lose to Prospectors
by Mike Russo
sports editor
Agua Fria, which struggled offensively
in its season-opening 25-9 loss to Desert
Edge, was further hampered Friday
night with
the secondFOOTBALL
quarter injury
to starting
quarterback Fabian Garza.
The Owls (0-2) had to rely on backup
signal-caller Aaron Vazquez, and eventually
running back Keith Huckaby under center, in
a 14-7 loss to visiting Apache Junction (2-1).
Agua Fria was able to manage only 150
total yards, and almost half of that came
on Leandre Vaughn’s 68-yard, first-quarter
touchdown run.
“Losing our starting quarterback and a
defensive tackle [Austin Langtry] in the
first half hurt us,” said Tony Cluff, who
served as the Owls’ acting coach in Kelly
Epley’s absence. Epley was out for undisclosed reasons. “Losing our quarterback
limited us in our passing game.”
While offense was problematic for the
Owls, its defense played well for the most
part and came up with some big plays,
including three fumble recoveries.
“Our defense played well,” Cluff said.
“If you told me coming in that we would
limit Apache Junction to 14 points, I
would have been happy.”
The first of the takeaways set up the
Agua Fria touchdown.
Apache Junction’s Harrison Pomery
fumbled after a 12-yard gain and it was
recovered by the Owls’ Anthony Baca at
the Agua Fria 33.
It took the Owls just two plays to get
on the scoreboard. After a 1-yard loss,
Vaughn went off right tackle, veered to the

LEANDRE VAUGHN, left, leaps to catch a 32-yard pass from Keith Huckaby that kept Agua Fria’s last-ditch comeback

Hawks unravel
in 2nd half,
losing to T-bird

BUCKEYE’S YOGI HALE (20) struggles to break the grasp of Thunderbird defenders Connor Magness
(32) and Joey Latham (27). Buckeye’s lackluster performance resulted in a 31-0 loss Friday.
Bobby Barnes was disgusted with what transpired on
his home field Friday night. The Buckeye head coach was
clearly frustrated after his
team imploded in the second
FOOTBALL
half, losing to Phoenix Thunderbird, 31-0.
“I warned everybody and told everybody that this is
a very inexperienced football team,” Barnes said. “We
played a team that is very experienced, and they made
very few mistakes, and we made many. We’re not going
to have a chance to win any games with those kinds of
mistakes made.”
Buckeye (1-2) threw three interceptions, fumbled a
kickoff return, gave up too many big plays and failed to
score on a first-and-goal inside the 5-yard line. Add all
those up and it was a recipe for disaster.
“I think it was mental mistakes, we messed up a lot,”
senior lineman Ricky Higuera said. “There’s stuff we’ve
got to fix, missing assignments, letting guys through.
When we were over here on the 1-yard line we should
have just punched it in. As a team we just fell asleep.
There’s not much to say.”
Buckeye allowed four plays of more than 30 yards,
including two critical ones in the first half that seemed to
set the tone for the game. Those two plays amounted for
99 of Thunderbird’s 117 first-half yards and a 7-0 lead.
Without that momentum it might have been a different
story going into the second half.
“The first half our defense played the way they have
all year, and I guess our offense played the way they
have, they move the ball but can’t get it in the end zone,”
Barnes said. “We have serious problems on the offensive
side that we’ve got to fix.”
The Hawks gained 82 yards on their first two offensive
(See Hawks on Page 13)

(From Page 12)
drives, but neither resulted in any points on the board.
Their best opportunity to score came after a Trey Brown
interception was returned to the 5, but on third and fourth
downs they failed to punch it in from the 1.
“There isn’t any question that it probably changed
our faith in our ability when we didn’t score,” Barnes
said. “We had it first-and-goal at the 5 and they stuff us.
I don’t think there’s any question who the better team
was tonight, but it shouldn’t have been 31-0. The difference in the score is not the
difference in talent. Our
youth really showed up

today. It’s my job and my

touchdown run was the
only score of the game.
However, the second half
was when things turned south in a hurry for Buckeye. On
the third play of the Hawks’ opening drive quarterback
Alex Alvarez threw an interception, giving Thunderbird
the ball at the Buckeye 40. Six plays later Marin hit Jake
Stiak for a 15-yard touchdown pass, making it 14-0.
Buckeye then fumbled the ensuing kickoff, and Thunderbird (2-0) capitalized with a field goal to go up 17-0.
“The problem is you have to not crumble during
adversity when you’re young, and we did that,” Barnes
said. “If we want any chance for success we’ve got to quit
making mistakes on offense. I don’t care if it’s three plays
and out, quit throwing interceptions, quit fumbling, quit
coming in on running plays when they’re throwing deep
balls, stay behind people. I could go on and on. We just
made too many mistakes tonight.”
Late scores
Thunderbird added its last two touchdowns late in the
fourth quarter, getting a 49-yard pass from Marin to Stiak
for one and a 72-yard run from Kani Benoit for the other.
The long touchdown pass was what really ticked off
Barnes.
“Kids are coming in for the run and it’s a pass, and
they’re throwing behind us 30 yards, so we’re not seeing
something, even though we just told them they’re probably going to throw the football in that situation,” Barnes
said. “So they’re being warned, but they’re not reacting to
what we said.

BUCKEYE DEFENSIVE LINEMAN Ricky Higuera stops Thunderbird running back Kani Benoit. The Hawks
lost a 27-0 home decision to the Chiefs Friday.
“There were more bombs thrown on our team tonight
than I’ve had in five years. We hadn’t allowed, I don’t
think, 80 yards passing in any game in the first couple,
and many at the end of last year. To have someone throw
for that many yards against us, that’s unacceptable.”
Buckeye’s offense was stagnant after the first quarter, not getting another first down until late in the third.
The Hawks ended the game with just 176 yards of total
offense. Cody Bostick led the rushing attack with 10 carries for 55 yards, while Alvarez passed for 82, completing
10 of 23 attempts.
On the flip side, Thunderbird managed 354 yards of
total offense, exploding for 237 in the second half after
Buckeye held them relatively in check during the first.
“I’m disappointed in myself and this football team right
now,” Barnes said. “That may be the worst second half of

football that I’ve coached in the last seven or eight years,
probably since the Higley team beat us bad in 2007.”
Buckeye returns to action Thursday when playing at
Scottsdale Arcadia. For Barnes, it will be a test of how his
team responds.
“The real problem now is how we handle how we got
beat tonight,” Barnes said. “It could be one where everybody just caves it in and gives up on the season, or it can
be where they get upset with it and move forward.
“ . . . We’ll just see where we go from here. We have to
start all over. We have to go back to square one, because
I will not tolerate this kind of a football game again from
Buckeye.”

right and scampered down the sideline for the score.
“I saw Elijah Goodman, he had a terrific block and I
went off it and took it to the house,” Vaughn said.
The Prospectors were on the move late in the second
quarter when Agua Fria’s defense came up with its
second takeaway. Quarterback Roy MacHuca ripped off
a 5-yard gain to the Agua Fria 47 but lost the ball and
Vaughn pounced on it.
The half ended with the Owls holding a 7-0 lead.
Second half
Apache Junction took the second-half kickoff and
marched 58 yards in eight plays for the tying touchdown.
Pomeroy, who led the Prospectors with 71 rushing yards,
bulled his way into the end zone from 7 yards out with
8:37 left in the third quarter.
The score remained 7-7 until MacHuca scored the
clincher on a 2-yard run with 8:33 left in the game. That
came at the conclusion of a 10-play, 55-yard drive.
When the Owls went three-and-out and punted to
Apache Junction midway through the fourth quarter, their
prospects of victory looked dim.
However, the defense again rose to the fore and Joel
Santallano recovered a Tanner Morgan fumble at the
Agua Fria 38, giving the Owls one last shot.
Things again looked bleak for the Owls when they faced
a fourth-and-29 from their own 30, but Huckaby hooked
up with Vaughn on a 32-yard pass completion for a first
down at the Apache Junction 38 with 1:36 remaining.
The Owls were unable to further advance the ball, turning it
over on downs, and Apache Junction ran out the clock.
“They wore us down in the second half,” Cluff said.
“Our offense didn’t get first downs and keep our defense
off the field. They were big and physical and they just
wore us down.”
Vaughn led the Owls’ ground game with 71 yards on
seven carries.
In addition to Pomeroy’s 71 rushing yards, Morgan ran
the ball 11 times for 68 yards.
Agua Fria hosts Glendale Apollo at 7 pm. Friday. The
Hawks (1-1) defeated Sunrise Mountain, 48-21, Friday.
The availability of Garza and Langtry will be determined after their injuries are evaluated this week.

KAT DIAZ, Agua Fria libero, digs a ball against Copper Canyon Sept. 7. The sophomore played well in the Lady Owls’ loss at Sunrise Mountain Thursday night.
Lady Owls play well in loss to Sunrise Mtn.
by Mike Russo
sports editor
Agua Fria hung with Peoria Sunrise
Mountain for the majority of all three
games before fading at the end of each in
losing in straight sets on the road Thursday night.
The Lady
Mustangs
prevailed
VOLLEYBALL
25-15, 25-18
and 25-22.
The scores
represented a significant improvement
over last year’s result. Sunrise Mountain
won the meeting last year, 25-10, 25-11
and 25-14.
Coach Stephanie Parker was encouraged by her team’s performance, not only
at Sunrise Mountain but also during the
season thus far.
“Sunrise Mountain is the defending
region champion and we were very competitive with them,” she said.
“The girls played really hard. We are
3-2 [1-1 in the West Valley Region] and
we haven’t had a start this good in years.”
The Lady Owls suffered their first
setback the previous night against Phoenix
Sunnyslope.
“It was to our advantage seeing Sunnyslope, the two-time defending state
champion, last night and Sunrise Mountain tonight,” Parker said.
Parker was pleased with the way her
team kept its composure in a raucous
environment.
“Coming to a gym like this, which is so
loud, is tough,” Parker said. “We are not
used to it. There were times when the girls
were telling me they couldn’t hear me. It
doesn’t get this loud at Agua Fria.”
Good start
Agua Fria kept within striking distance
of Sunrise Mountain in the first game,
trailing only 13-12, before the home squad
pulled away for the win.
The second contest followed a similar script. Sunrise Mountain led only
16-13 and 21-17 before pulling out the
victory.
The Lady Owls saved their most-spirited effort for the third game.

Cox had five kills and nine blocks.
In addition to Ocock and Cox, libero
Kat Diaz drew the praise of Parker.
“She is only a sophomore,” Parker said.
“This is her second year. By the time she
is a senior, she will be a force to be reckoned with.”
While Parker said she was pleased
with the team’s overall play, there were a
couple of areas of concern.
“We definitely need to work on communication,” Parker said.
Another problematic area is serving.
The Lady Owls handed the Lady Mustangs nine points on missed serves, including five in the final game.
“We have to improve our serving,”
Parker said. “Those are points you should
be able to get.”
Agua Fria plays at El Mirage Dysart
at 6 tonight and will travel to Phoenix
Thunderbird Thursday night before playing in the Estrella Foothills tournament
this weekend.

Agua Fria built a lead of 14-11 behind
the strong net play of Alexis Cox and
Callie Ocock, who combined for several
double blocks the stifled the Lady Mustangs’ attack.
Sunrise Mountain was able to rally
behind the play of Brianne Glidewell to
take a 20-18 lead.
Cox came up with a couple of kills to
knot the count at 20-20.
Agua Fria closed the gap to 22-21 as a
Cox block produced a point, but that was
as close as it got.
A pair of Madison Durham kills put the
final touches on the game for the Lady
Mustangs. Durham’s nine kills led Sunrise
Mountain.
“We got really excited [in the third
game],” Cox said. “We started talking
more in the third game and got more
encouragement.”
As for her play with Ocock, Cox said:
“Callie helps me out. We have good communication and we work well together.
She lets me know where the block will
be.”
Ocock led the Lady Owls with six kills.

Lady Hawks at .500
heading into big match
Liberty will be a measuring stick
by Casey Pritchard
assistant sports editor
Buckeye’s volleyball team has suffered through
some early season injuries, but opposing teams
are not going to feel any compassion for the Lady
Hawks now that Skyline Region play is already
under way.
Buckeye (2-2,
1-0) won its region
VOLLEYBALL
opener against
Desert Edge Thursday, taking out the Lady Scorpions in three sets.
At 6 tonight the true test takes place, as the Lady
Hawks will host the region’s defending champion, Peoria Liberty.
“Liberty is obviously the team to beat, they’re
very deep, very experienced, have a lot of highlevel club kids on that team,” Buckeye coach
Leaven Eubank said. “That whole program is fortunate to have the draw that they have, but with
that being said, at Buckeye we traditionally have
a lot of very good athletes. It’s a matter of getting
kids that maybe don’t have experience to use
their athletic ability to rise to the occasion. That’s
the theme of the year, when you get the opportunity are you taking advantage of it or not.”
Buckeye has seen Karli Eaves go down with a
knee injury, Kaitlin Hill with a hamstring problem and Lauren Barnes with shoulder pain. While
it’s left the Lady Hawks a little shorthanded,
they’re trying to plug away through it.
“Karli slipped and hurt her knee at the beginning
of the year,” Eubank said. “A few days after she was
cleared to practice and play, it went out on her in
practice. She’s wearing a big brace that slows her
laterally.”
Without Eaves’ lateral movement at full capacity, Eubank has used her more as a right-side
hitter, even though her customary spot is in the
middle. Addy Couch has helped contribute in that
spot in the meantime.
Hill and Barnes are both outside hitters for
Buckeye. While Hill is coming back fast, Eubank
said, Barnes’ shoulder pain stems from soreness
in rodeo.
“Rodeo is her main gig, and when you’re a
rodeo kid at that level and practicing as much as
she and as hard as she does with that, the joints are
going to be sore every once in a while, but she’s
pushing through, she’s a tough kid,” Eubank said.
Karlee Miller is the team’s setter, while Sophie
Rodriguez is the libero. Devonna Sims is another
middle hitter. She’s making the transition from JV
to varsity this year.
“She’s a very good athlete, very strong athlete,”
Eubank said. “We’re hoping she can take advantage of her opportunities.”
All told, there are only four players on the team
with varsity experience from last season. Because
of that Eubank thinks it will be an interesting year.
“I try to stay away from the cliches of rebuilding and all those things,” he said. “Right now I’ve
got a lot of great kids, we just don’t have some of
the experience.”
So far the Lady Hawks have split their four
matches, beating Glendale Copper Canyon and
Desert Edge, while losing to Glendale Apollo and
Phoenix Thunderbird. Eubank feels like his team
could easily be undefeated though.
“I don’t want to take anything away from those
two schools, they won, but we had more to do with
them winning than they did,” Eubank said. “We
made a lot of unforced errors. If we can keep those
under control, like any team, you give yourself a
better chance of being successful.”
Controlling errors is something that will be
crucial against a tough Liberty team tonight. The
Lady Lions are 5-0 already and have dropped just
one set.
“We’re going to have to play, I hate to use the
term perfect, but it’s going to have to be pretty
dog gone close to be in the hunt,” Eubank said.
The Buckeye coach is hoping to use the
Desert Edge win as a building block for tonight.
It wasn’t their best effort of the year, but wins
always helps build confidence.
“I think they felt more comfortable with some
things,” Eubank said. “If we can stop making the
easy things complicated, we’ll be OK.”

This is the third article in a series about directors
and films of the New Hollywood of the 1970s.
hen Roman Polanski
directed Chinatown in 1973
it was viewed by many to
be his personal vindication
from — and also an indictment on —
the city of Los Angeles.
It was, after all, the city that gave birth to
the horror of the Manson Family, members
of which had murdered Polanski’s pregnant
wife Sharon Tate four years earlier. And it would be
the city that would drive him to Europe four years later to
dodge a sexual-assault charge on a 13-year-old. LA has
ground people up before, but never quite like this. As
Jimmy McNulty would say, “They can chew you up, but
they gotta spit you back out.”
At the time, in the mid-’70s, Polanski was a hot
item. His work was solid; his talent eagerly bursting
from his projects. Rosemary’s Baby put his name
out there in 1968, but it would take the fearless
filmmaking of Chinatown to cement his name
within the New Hollywood. Strange as it
was, though, Chinatown was hardly
new, or groundbreaking, material:
it borrowed heavily from the pulpy
James M. Cains and Dashiell
Hammetts of the world, but it put a
spin on the hard-boiled detective
thriller.
As neo-noir as its labyrinthine
story was — P.I. Jake Gittes
W
Roman Polanski
An entire generation will know Peter Bogdanovich as
“shrink to the shrink” on HBO’s Sopranos. Little do they
know the once-great director had the world in his pocket.
Where it all went wrong is anyone’s guess. In Peter
Biskind’s book Easy Riders, Raging Bulls, he assigns
some of the blame on Bogdanovich’s philandering. After
he divorced his wife, production designer Polly Platt, to
have an affair with actress Cybill Shepherd, Bogdanovich’s
work suffered. And from there, the great director —
who once called Orson Welles his roommate — silently
disappeared.
Luckily for us, his big years produced some wonderful
films: realist teen drama The Last Picture Show, screwball
comedy What’s Up, Doc? and road/buddy movie Paper
Moon. These were personal, one-of-a-kind films that
showed a maturity and devotion to their
characters.
Peter
Bogdanovich
investigates the many problems of a rich heiress across
the sordid, sprawling background of 1930s Los Angeles
— Chinatown wasn’t just a throwback to the old, but
a vision of the new. It understood narrative better than
most films, and it used it to drive its themes right to
the heart of Polanski’s stunning visuals. Because of its
success, it gave even more power to a then-rising Jack
Nicholson, screenwriter Robert Towne (he won an Oscar
for Chinatown) and, of course, Polanski, who was quickly
hailed in the same breath as the movie heroes Francis
Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese and Peter Bogdanovich.
With the exception of 1997’s LA Confidential, films
rarely re-interpret movements the way Chinatown did.
And few directors seem capable of directing those kinds
of projects. Nowadays studios seem more likely to dip
into spoof movies (Vampires Suck, Epic Movie) before
they reach back into film history and use an old method to
create a new one.
As for Polanski, he’s still working (his Ghost Writer is
fascinating), although his legal troubles from the ’70s are
still knocking at his door. “They can chew you up, but
they gotta spit you back out.” Unfortunately, they haven’t
stopped chewing on Polanski.
— Michael Clawson
Modern Equivalents
Certainly Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Road
to Perdition, Jarhead, Revolutionary Road) has many
of Bogdanovich’s qualities, and then more on top
of those. They both had steady cameras that could
peer into the souls of their troubled characters. As
for Polanski, only Mel Gibson, another despairing
character in Los Angeles’ sprawl, comes to mind.
Both directors frequently acted in their own movies,
both are currently hiding from the public, and both
took personal tragedy and turned them into movies
— Polanski had Chinatown, Gibson had The Passion
of the Christ.

Secretary of state: Aug. primary turnout highest in 20 years
by Alyssa Newcomb
Cronkite News Service
Early ballots and strong interest in congressional
races helped make turnout for the August primary the
highest in 20 years, Secretary of State Ken Bennett
said.
Releasing the official primary canvass, Bennett said the
statewide turnout of 30.09 percent exceeded his expectations.
“There were a lot of key contested races, a lot of
excitement,” said Bennett, who was unopposed in his bid
for reelection as secretary of state.
Two-thirds of voters requested early ballots, which was
on par with previous elections, he said.
In total, 933,650 votes were cast, and five counties exceeded the statewide average of voter turnout:
Yavapai, Greenlee, Gila, Pima and Graham, the canvass
showed.
Maricopa County, home to three out of five Arizonans,
had a 29 percent turnout.
The canvass by the Arizona Secretary of State’s Office
provided final totals in races decided by only a handful of
votes. It showed that Andrew Thomas lost the Republican
attorney general nomination to Tom Horne by 899 votes,
while Democratic attorney general candidate David Lujan
lost to Felecia Rotellini by 2,427 votes.
Bennett said he was pleased with the job counties did
counting ballots, including the many early ballots that
couldn’t be tallied on election night.
“The real blood and guts of elections occurs at counties,” he said. “Most, if not all, did an exceptional job in
counting the ballots.”
Bennett said he was working on a tabulation of partisan
turnout and expects to have it in the next two weeks.

Every now and then
Liz grabs her fishing pole and heads to Saguaro Lake to think. It’s there she decided to buy the ranch,
turn down the job offer, and relax about her upcoming Medicare milestone birthday. No matter what
concern she brings to the lake, there’s one thing she always takes home. Answers.
Everyone needs someone or someplace they can turn to for advice. With Banner MediSun,
you can have both. In fact, you can get all of your Medicare questions answered when you
stop by one of our neighborhood locations. Because just like Liz – and you – this is our home
too. This is what you know. It’s what you trust. This is where you belong.
If you’re new to Medicare,
