DOMINIC AND HANNA UNGER of Buckeye help clean up an area known locally
as “shotgun alley” March 8 in Buckeye. The city of Buckeye has organized a couple of
cleanups to remove tens of thousands of pounds of trash and empty shell casings left by
people who use the area, which is north of Interstate 10 at Watson Road, as an informal
shooting range and dumping site. The area will eventually be a park. To see all photos
from this shoot, go to www.westvalleyview.com/pictures.
At the time of White’s murder, Rael had been
on the run from police for less than 24 hours
after he fatally shot Psalidas in front of an auto
repair shop in Buckeye, police said.
Rael is suspected of fatally shooting
Psalidas around 1 p.m. Sunday outside of Don
Lalo Auto Repair near MC 85 and Apache
Road in Buckeye, said Buckeye Police Officer
Tamela Skaggs, a spokeswoman for the
department.
Rael had called the tow truck company
Psalidas was employed by as a driver to get his
car towed.
Witnesses said there was a dispute between
Rael and Psalidas about payment for the tow
before Rael shot Psalidas, Skaggs said.

Police arrested two men early Tuesday
morning after discovering about 1,000
pounds of marijuana in a Tolleson home,
officials said.
Police officers responded to a call
at about 2:30 a.m. about a possible
“prowler” in the 700 block of North
92nd Avenue in Tolleson, said Sgt. Obed
Gaytan, a spokesman for the Tolleson
Police Department.
Once there, an officer allegedly saw a
man getting into a vehicle parked under a
carport of a residence.
Officers attempted to speak to the man
when he ran from the scene, Gaytan said.
At that point, another man ran out of the
home and ran from officers.
Senon
Zavala-Meza
Perfecto Nunez
Police noted that the house smelled
strongly of marijuana. The drugs were
found after a search warrant was served on
the home, police said.
Perfecto Angulo Nunez, 30, and Senon
Zavala-Meza, 39, both of Phoenix, were
booked into a Maricopa County jail
on charges of possession of marijuana,
possession of marijuana for sale,
possession of marijuana for transporting
and criminal trespassing.
“Our officers did an outstanding job,
and thankfully no one was hurt. This
discovery and seizure will definitely make
an impact in our community of 7,200
residents,” Gaytan said. “These drugs will
not make their way into our schools or our
community, not today.”

MCSO investigates animal cruelty case
Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office deputies remove 9 horses from Buckeye property
by Rachel Trott
staff writer
Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office
deputies seized nine malnourished
horses Wednesday afternoon from a
property near West Polk Street and Sun
Valley Parkway in Buckeye, officials
said.
The Sheriff’s Office received an
anonymous letter in the mail Tuesday
saying that the owner of the property,
Denise Denny, 60, was allegedly
mistreating her animals, said Lt. Brandon
Jones, a spokesman for the office.
Animal crimes detectives from the
Sheriff’s Office investigated and executed
a search warrant for the property at 8:30
a.m. Wednesday, Jones said.
“Deputies found that the homeowner,
Denise Denny, had 13 dogs, one goat and
11 horses on the property,” he said.
The veterinarians on scene determined
that nine of the 11 horses needed to be
seized and taken to a veterinarian for
emergency care due to lack of food and
medical care, especially regarding their
teeth and hooves, police said.
“One of the horses was a Clydesdale
and was estimated to have been 700 to
800 pounds underweight,” Jones said.
“Others were said to be underweight by
300 pounds.”
The 13 dogs and goat were in fair
condition and left on the property with the
understanding that Denny would “bring
them up to a healthier condition with
sheriff’s detectives visiting on a regular
basis,” Jones said.
Detectives are waiting on lab results
from veterinarians to determine if
additional or more severe charges will be
filed against Denny, he said.
If arrested, Denny could face up to 12
counts of animal cruelty charges, police
said.

Rael then stole the victim’s tow truck
with his car still on the back, Skaggs
said.
Police used GPS data supplied by the
tow truck company to locate the stolen
truck at a house in Rainbow Valley. Police
then obtained a search warrant for the
house around 10:30 p.m. March 9 and
found the stolen tow truck, but not Rael,
Skaggs said.
Rael then fled from Buckeye in a
borrowed silver Jaguar, police said.
Police pursuit
An hour after Rael was suspected of
shooting White in Glendale, Rael and his
vehicle were identified by police who
pursued him along Interstate 10.
“[Rael] got on the freeway at about
3:10 a.m. at I-10 and 35th Avenue going
east. [Arizona Department of Public
Safety] actively engaged him from
there,” said Bart Graves, a spokesman
for DPS.
Spike strips were then deployed along
eastbound U.S. 60 in Tempe to stop Rael,
police said.
“It disabled his tires, and he ended
up stopping in the HOV lane just past
eastbound Priest Drive around 3:30
a.m.,” Graves said. “He got out of the
car and started opening fire. Police
returned fire.”
Rael then stopped firing and returned
to his car, but did not reply to verbal
commands from police. At that point,
a police K9 from the Phoenix Police
Department was sent toward the car,
Graves said.
“The canine dragged his deceased body
out of the car. We believe he was killed by
[police] return fire,” Graves said.
Rael had recently been released by
the Colorado Department of Corrections
within the last two years and was on
parole in Arizona.

Since 1914, members of Liberty United Methodist
Women of Buckeye have banded together to help
communities in need.
The local organization will come together once again
Sunday morning to celebrate its 100th anniversary at the
church.
“We’re very excited,” President Michele Justice said.
Helping others is the organization’s principle objective,
she said.
“We’ve been involved in mission work for 100 years,”
Justice said. “Our whole focus is on mission to our local
community, to our state communities, our national and
international [communities].”
In fact, United Methodist Women is a global
organization founded in the late 1880s by four women in
New York who wanted to reach out to others, Justice said.
The small group was successful in recruiting additional
members, and eventually sent a woman doctor and nurse
to Africa for a yearlong missionary trip at the turn of the
century, she said.
Local chapters started springing up in Methodist
churches across the nation as people began traveling to
the western frontier, she said.
“It spread across the country just like the population
did,” Justice said.
CURRENT
MEMBERS
of the Liberty
United Methodist
Women of
Buckeye group
stand in front of
the church. The
group, which
has dedicated
itself to helping
others, is
celebrating
its centennial
anniversary
Sunday.
Missionary work
Liberty United Methodist Women of Buckeye currently
has 32 members, and works on multiple missions a year.
“We’re busy,” Justice said.
On a local level, Liberty UMW has continually
worked with All Faith Community Services, a
nonprofit organization in Buckeye that helps
individuals and families facing crisis and emergency
situations, she said.
The organization also assists when an emergency
arises.
When various communities in Denver were affected by
flooding last year, members sent flood victims 5-gallon
buckets filled with cleaning supplies, brushes, gloves and
paper towels, Justice said.
Members are able to make a difference because of their
various fundraising efforts.
Justice said the funds raised are “put to work.”
“We don’t to try to save a bunch of money or have a
lot of funds just laying around,” she said. “We make sure
what we make is spent on mission projects.”
Last year, Liberty UMW raised about $4,000 to $5,000,
which also included each member’s annual pledge, she
said.
Although the organization focuses on mission work, it
also takes part in other activities such as learning about
social issues.
“We do the social action … we attend conferences and
put on conferences about violence against women, human
trafficking, elder abuse,” Justice said.
In order to increase the organization’s awareness about
the world, it “believes in learning about other religions,”
she said.
Liberty UMW recently toured a Mormon temple in
Gilbert.
“It is important to be knowledgeable about how other
people believe and what their systems of belief are in
order to understand your own,” Justice said.
As part of the celebration, Liberty UMW will also host
Sunday’s church service.
“There will be a couple of ladies that will be ushers,”
she said. “I will be the liturgist. The whole service will be
geared toward UMW and the way we serve.”
The celebration will also feature guest speakers and
music; a luncheon at Fellowship Hall will follow.
In addition, Liberty UMW will display various artifacts
from the past 100 years “to show where we were and
how we moved ahead and what our purpose has become,”
Justice said.
Parishioners from other Methodist churches will also
be attending the celebration, she said.
“It will be a great day of fellowship,” Justice said,
adding, “It only happens once in your lifetime.”
The church is at 7598 S. Liberty School Road in
Buckeye.

F-16 PILOTS perform an exercise March 3 near Luke Air Force Base. The base,
along Litchfield Road between Glendale and Northern avenues, is hosting an air
show and open house Saturday and Sunday. Admission is free.
Luke air show
cleared for take off
by Rachel Trott
staff writer
Luke Air Force Base’s open house and
air show is cleared for take off Saturday
and Sunday at the base along Litchfield
Road from Northern to Glendale avenues.
The event, titled “Lightning in the
Desert,” is being held this year to make
up for its cancellation in 2013 because of
federal budget concerns.
Admission is free.
Vendors and more than 40 static aircraft
will be on display once gates open at 9 a.m.
Among the static aircraft for public
viewing is the base’s first F-35A
Lightning II.
The F-35 is a fifth-generation fighter,
and part of the generation of fighters
that incorporate stealth technology and
updated communication and situational
awareness alerts.
The base is scheduled to gradually
phase out the F-16s currently stationed
there and replace them with 144 F-35A
jets over the next decade.
Beginning at 11 a.m., more than 10
aerial performances will zoom around
the sky, including an MV-22 Osprey
demonstration and an F-16 close air
support demonstration. Marine ground
forces will be calling in simulated air
strikes, demonstrating how the Air Force
and Marines work together in the field.
The aerial performances will wrap up
from 3 to 4:15 p.m. with a performance
by the U.S. Air Force Air Demonstration
Squadron, aka Thunderbirds, which was
founded at Luke Air Force Base in 1953.
Gates close at 6 p.m.

Goodyear to update website, mobile app
by Charity Yodis
staff writer
Goodyear residents can be on the
lookout as the city plans to unveil a newly
designed website and mobile app come
June.
Vision Internet, a government website
developer in Santa Monica, Calif., has been
contracted to do the actual design work.
One of the changes web visitors can
expect to see is a much cleaner, updated
look with the Goodyear logo on each
page, said Sherine Zaya, Goodyear
communications manager.
Zaya emphasized that as time and
technology changes, there will be a
further need for updates and redesign.
“The project starts, but it never really
ends,” she said.
Zaya said she views the website as the
“front door” to City Hall.
“Ultimately, when you launch a website
that’s aesthetically pleasing, that speaks to
your organization, that is with the times, if
you will, and provides the information easily
and quickly to your visitors, you’ve achieved
your goal,” Zaya said.
Dan Cotterman, Information and
Technology Services director, said
he hopes to improve the website’s
functionality as well.
“Generally, our goal is to make the
website look more modern, more user
friendly if you will, so that our citizens
can find information that they need with
the least amount of effort,” he said.
While Zaya is primarily responsible
for the overall appearance of the site,
Cotterman is working closer with its
functions and technical upgrades.
One of the functions both Zaya and
Cotterman said they hope to add to the
site is to make it compatible with the
city’s various social media outlets such
as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and
YouTube.
“The new website is going to have
better integration around those social
media outlets,” Cotterman said.
Goodyear already has a mobile app,
but it only serves one function. Residents
can use their mobile device to report
problems.
Cotterman said he hopes to include
additional features on the new app
that will encourage higher community
engagement.
The new app may include features that
allow residents to submit suggestions and
ideas, find information on city services
and facilities, make requests and view a
centralized calendar of events.
“The trend is, more folks are relying
on a smartphone or a tablet for their web
browsing and content consumption. To
recognize that, and to provide them tools
to engage with the city, is optimized for
that platform,” Cotterman said.
The app will be available for IOS
Apple, Windows and Android devices. It
will be free. Those who already have the
old app will need to delete it and reinstall
the new one.
“We want to change what can be
frustration in visiting our website to a
pleasant experience,” Cotterman said.

OUR VIEWPOINT
SACK’S OPINION — The Minneapolis Star Tribune
EDITORIAL
Open government
is good government
Next week is Sunshine Week. What is it and why
should you care?
Sunshine Week is a national initiative to promote a
dialogue about the importance of open government and
freedom of information.
It was a reaction to the Florida Legislature’s creating
a slew of new laws that exempted more and more public
records from view by the public.
Why should you care? Because an open government is
less likely to do things its citizens don’t approve of.
Citizens (and journalists) are having greater difficulty
obtaining public documents from government agencies.
They are deterred by long delays in responses and high
fees. Most individuals and smaller news organizations do
not have the resources to mount legal challenges in FOIA
(the federal Freedom of Information Act) and state Open
Meeting law cases.
Often, local governments send private citizens
away without fulfilling their requests by stating that
the information desired is not public information when
it clearly is, or they require forms to be filled out that
include a description as to why the citizen wants the
information (demanding the purpose is illegal).
And don’t think this is just an issue with journalists. We
were surprised to find out that most of the public information
demands are not made by journalists. Our colleague in
Maryland, Andy Schotz, a fellow member of the International
Society of Weekly Newspaper Editors, reports that in his state
only 10 percent of the requests are made by journalists.
Most of our local cities, school districts, county offices
and other governmental entities do a good job of providing
public information without undo red tape. But one local
city admits that the salaries it pays its employees are public
information. Yet it still requires a formal written demand
letter stating that this is public information before it will
consider releasing the information. If its goal is to hide
information from the public, it’s working and the harder
it is to get information, the less will be revealed. And that
brings up the question, what does the city have to hide?
Being a city council member is a tough job, but it wasn’t
forced on anyone. There is someone at every step of the
way criticizing what they do. But hiding information and
dodging questions only leads to more suspicion, not less.
And sooner or later, everything comes out.
Twenty years ago, Avondale officials would never
admit to any problems even after a reporter would get a
tip that turned out to be legitimate. And every story would
be bigger because of the attempt to suppress it. Finally,
city officials there learned. And the resulting stories of an
Avondale official announcing some minor infraction was
barely enough to actually write a story about.
But without concerned citizens demanding their public
officials be open and transparent, bureaucrats tend to slide
back into protecting the nest to the detriment of all.
Please go to council meetings, ask questions of city
leaders, get informed and stay informed. On the whole,
we have a great group of city leaders, but that can change
if something happens that might reflect badly on them and
they think they can keep it quiet.

As we sit in our comfortable

breaks in with words such as
Officer Down, Code 3 Response,
Officer needs assistance: brings
the cavalry and the words Amber
Alert has to be nerve wracking
for the people closely involved
with these situations.
The public has no idea what
a spouse of the Police or Sheriff
Officers is going through as their
hearts start to race saying the
name of their husband/wife/loved
one on duty working the area of
the news report.
The waiting to hear the news
reports or an officer show up
at the home. The look on the
officers face will say it all as the
loved one start to cry knowing
they love their loved one.
They are saddened but so
relieved when they receive that
incoming telephone call and
hearing their loved ones voice
that it was not him/her involved
in the incident.

Big crash
is coming
Editor:
After reading the letter from
Arnold Knack, singing Pres.
Obama’s praises, I felt a need to tell
the rest of the story. When Obama
took office in 2009 the National
Debt stood at 10.6 trillion, today it
stands at 17.4 trillion. According to
the Senate and House budget subcommittees, his proposed budget
would add another 8.3 trillion over
the next 10 years. That would put
us over 25 trillion in debt. Gasoline
prices were $1.79/gallon when
Obama took office in 2009, today
gasoline is $3.60/gallon.
According to the Census
Bureau one out of six is now
living in poverty, a rate not seen
since the 1960’s. Today 20% of
all children are living in poverty,
a rate higher than in 1975. Today,
100 million are enrolled in at
least one welfare program run by
the federal government, and that
doesn’t include Social Security
or Medicare. 47.8 million are
now on food stamps, that figure
was 32 million when Obama
took office. In 1970 one out of 50
Americans was on food stamps,
today it is one out of six.
Approximately 4 million
homeowners have lost their
homes to foreclosure since
Obama took office. So you see
the run-up in the Dow Jones does
not tell the whole story. In fact,
it tells very little about most who
are still struggling to make ends
meet, after losing their jobs and
homes to the great recession. The
only reason the economy looks
as good as it does is the Fed
keeps printing money and buying

by Barbara Mussman
Desert Edge High School teacher
The Senate Education Committee voted 6-3 on Feb. 20,
2014, to “bar implementing the Common Core standards
the state adopted just four years
earlier.” Taking a lead on this
action was state Sen. Al Melvin,
R-Tucson, who when asked if he
had read the standards, stated that
“some of the reading material
is borderline pornographic.” He
also stated, “the program uses
‘fuzzy math, substituting letters
for numbers in some example.’”
I am familiar with and have
working knowledge of both the

clear), to others, we want to be able
to serve customers, particularly as a
traditional family based business.
If the gays don’t like it, they
can go to another business. While
everyone’s money is green tender,
my morals won’t be dictated by
it, but by God’s word. Now a
bartender has more power than a
business owner since a bartender
can (based on a belief) refuse
someone business because they’ve
had too much. This is based on
a moral decision where not only
is the decision encouraged, but
it’s legal and welcomed in the
interest of the general welfare of
the community. If I owned a bar,
the governor just said that my
bartender can refuse the business
that I cannot refuse.
There’s more than 1 photo
studio, more than 1 cake
decorating service, more than 1
business that will limit business
while others welcome it. There
are also no shortage of customers
that are looking for a reason to
sue just because they can and
they have $$$ in their eyes.
It’s said that 1062 isn’t about
discrimination, but religious
freedom and vice versa. Actually,
it’s about both and religious
freedom just got trampled on for
the sake of equality. Aren’t we
supposed to have both? That’s
of our forefathers. They also analyze the documents for
individual purposes as well as the overriding theme apparent
in The Declaration of Independence, the Preamble to the
Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and Lincoln’s Second
Inaugural Address to mention a few.
Melvin also stated that the math portion included the
use of “fuzzy math, substituting letters for numbers in
some example.” Yes, math does include letters as well as
numbers, now referred to as — algebra I or beginning
algebra.
CCSS.Math.Content.HSA-APR.C.4 Prove polynomial
identities and use them to describe numerical relationships.
For example, the polynomial identity (x2 + y2)2 = (x2 –
y2)2 + (2xy)2 can be used to generate Pythagorean triples.
This is a great example of the significance math plays
in real world situations. Students familiar with the
Pythagorean Theorem will be capable of calculating
the size of a prospective patio in a triangle design or
calculate the size of a triangle plot intended for sod in
the yard. Yes, letters as well as numbers prove to be quite
beneficial in terms of real world application.
With this in mind, keeping a supportive relationship
with the common core remains in the best interest of our
students when seeking academic achievement and in
preparing our students to be truly college and career ready.

Thank you for the editorial
pointing to the real problem
with proliferating wildfowl
on Estrella’s lakes and the
solution by other Communities
with lakes. If one must have
a lake in a desert — at least
surround it with wetlands that
solve many problems including
filtering runoff from grass or
other fertilized vegetation (if
you must have grass). I doubt
that the Estrella residents would
support construction of a wetland
bordering their aqua-feature, but
now that the water is recycled
from the treatment plant, it might
be worth considering for the

The Hickman’s are not good
people in my book. I am tired of
hearing the land they purchased
is agricultural. Chickens are not
agricultural they are livestock.
The law needs to be changed to
define crops as agricultural and
live animals needs to be defined
as something else.
The Hickman’s are
Agricultural Exempt so they
can put as many chickens,
lagoons, egg processing plants
with little over sight because
they are Agricultural Exempt.
No filters will be in place in the
hen houses. 2.6 million hens
generate a lot of debris that will
be dispersed into the air that
I breathe but I have no rights
because they are Agricultural
Exempt which = zero
responsibility. The debris will
consist of chicken feces, feathers,
dander and feed. The debris will
swirl which ever the wind blows
24/7 every day, every night . No
telling where the debris will land,
as children are playing, at recess
or during a football game. I have
no rights to clean air because
the Hickman’s are Agricultural
Exempt = zero responsibility.

Editor:
The Tonopah community will

Meeting at 7 p.m., March 24th
at the Saddle Mountain RV Park
clubhouse, 40902 W. Osborn
Road.
The invasion of Hickman’s
CAFO (Concentrated Animal
Feeding Operation) is a major
concern to our residents. The
millions of hens in this factory,
along with their processing of
egg products DOES qualify their
business as an egg production
plant and is NOT suitable for a
residential area. The property is
zoned R-43 (1 acre per resident)
and how they ever got an “Ag
Exemption’ is beyond me.
The County assessor deemed
it as ‘crop land’, gave it the
exemption, and Hickman’s
immediately began planning
their 28 hen houses 80 feet wide,
over 600 feet long, and 30 feet
high (plus stacks of unknown
height). These houses will begin
by housing 2 million chickens,
and expand to over 8 MILLION
chickens. The speed with
which this sale of property, Ag
Exemption, and commencement
of construction has taken place
is ‘record setting’. I wonder if
their brother, County Board of
Supervisor, Clint HICKMAN
had anything to do with it?
We want to keep our fresh
air, wonderful water, and the
atmosphere of clean country
living. We DON”T want the

our quality of life affected by
their flies, light pollution, traffic,
the restrictions of outdoor
recreational activities around our

for our health. The Hickman’s
say they have ‘rights’ as a
‘farm’, but the Tonopah residents
HAVE RIGHTS TOO, and this
development is taking our rights
away.

Pickleball noise

Management. I applaud them for
planning to build an additional
12 courts to accommodate the
increased demand for the sport. It
is a sport that can be enjoyed by
seniors, that is fun competitive,
and physical exercise.
The problem with this sport is
it produces loud annoying and
constant ping pong noise, that
carries throughout the complex.
This annoying noise qualifies as
a public nuisance by definition of
the city, county and state laws. It
is responsible of producing 100
pings a minute at a level twice as
loud as normal conversation over
300 yds away and can be heard
½ mi away. It is heard inside and
out by surounding home owners!
Unfortunately, the planned

We need everyone’s concern,

demand for the sport. Fence
padding, rubber padded balls
and paddles and retaining walls
are solutions to reduce the noise.

Editor:
Living in the Coldwater
Springs neighborhood requires
residents to conform to certain
CC&R regulations. Our
homeowners association enforces
rules in regard to keeping our
properties weed free which does
enhance our community’s appeal.
It is disheartening that the city
of Avondale is not as prideful
regarding property on the northwest corner of Avondale Blvd. and
Coldwater Springs Blvd. Some of
the weeds there are taller than the
planned landscape shrubs.
This blight is in part a
consequence of former City
Manager Charlie McClendon
and the QT Corporation allowing
special use permits for the land’s
development to expire.
Is this the image our city
leaders want to convey? Does this
invite future investment for our
city center project? I think not.

Editor:
I am so pleased that we finally
have our F-35 here at Luke Air
Force base. It is a day that many
who followed the ins and outs
of the program thought would
never come. Thankfully, the
entire West Valley threw their
support behind this project,
and that effort should not
go unrecognized. Local and
national leaders from Arizona
led the charge, and it has paid
off. I look at Tucson, who has
had strong opposition to the
F-35 being located there, and
thank the heavens that our local
leaders saw how important this
program was for our entire
community. So we will move
forward, looking ahead to
decades of being one of the
fortunate homes of the F-35.
Editor:
Before Hickman’s can
convince anyone they’re
responsible, they first have to
convince us they have credibility.
From Clint Hickman’s web
site: “Hickman. vowed to
emulate Max Wilson’s integrity,
decency and fairness and be ‘a
real taxpayers’ friend.” “. real
taxpayers’ friend”? “...integrity,
decency, and fairness...”?
When Hickman learned he’d
been selected as Supervisor he
promised to maintain quality of
life for west side residents. With
eight million chickens half a mile
upwind from downtown Tonopah?
We’ve lived here 19 years,
the first residence one quarter
mile downwind of the proposed
factory. Would anyone reading
this or anyone you know want
8,000,000 chickens as your next
door neighbors?
Billy Hickman stated because
people applied for jobs that
means they approve of the egg
factory. Last we knew, people
applied for a job because they
needed one and it’s extremely
rare an employee that approves
of everything a company does.
Hickman’s stated their trucks
MIGHT buy fuel in town
while knowing they buy fuel
in bulk and fuel the trucks at
their facilities. Billy Hickman
stated the proposed facility
would pay lots of taxes and the
money would benefit Tonopah,
a real knee slapper when they
know full well Tonopah is
unincorporated and all the money
would go to the county.
Editor:
I can’t figure out what’s going

One moment John McCain is
saying we have to work with our
diplomatic partners regarding
Ukraine. Next thing you know his
buddy Lindsey Graham gears up
on the war talk (along with the
rest of the GOP Media machine),
and McCain is singing a different
tune. By Sunday morning they
were everywhere implying that our
president caused the invasion of
Crimea. No way would that former
KGB mastermind, have done
this if Obama wasn’t so... well,
weak. And of course, if Obama is
seeking diplomacy, McCain and
Graham say we should be talking
tough and threatening war. They
appear be okay with 2 nuclear
armed nations escalating hostilities
(unless Obama is for it too). What
could possibly go wrong?

Talking bad about our president

now passes for a strange new brand

McCain should back our president.
Funny how he didn’t call George

Of course, he wanted to go to war
then too, but he didn’t call Bush

Late rally helps Tolleson past Liberty
by Casey Pritchard
assistant sports editor
View file photo by Ray Thomas
TOLLESON’S HENRY VASQUEZ lifts a pitch March 7 against Chandler. Vasquez had two hits, including
a double, Wednesday, helping the Wolverines defeat Liberty, 9-3.
Tolleson had a tough assignment on Wednesday
when going up against Peoria Liberty’s Tyler Wyatt.
However, the Wolverines did enough damage against
Wyatt in the first five innings, and they erupted off
the bullpen in the sixth,
winning 9-3.
“He’s one of the top
BASEBALL
five juniors in the state,”
Tolleson coach Scott
Richardson said. “It was
big to get him out of the game. To tell you the truth, it
really wouldn’t have mattered to me because I think
we had a pretty good approach with him, but the thing
that hurt us with him is he did such a good job holding
runners. He pretty much shut our running game down,
whereas the other guys, we were able to run a little bit
more.”
Tolleson had to have timely hitting in the first five
innings to score, and that’s exactly what they got. A twoout single to center field by Lenny Walker in the top of
the first put the Wolverines on top, 1-0.
Liberty responded in the bottom of the first inning
to take a 2-1 lead, as a single and pair of doubles off
Tolleson starter Carlos Baldenegro plated the Lions’
runs.
“Baldy, after giving up two, I thought, ‘What kind of
day is Baldy going to have?’” Richardson said. “But in
the middle innings he found his groove a little bit, and I
think they got outside of what they do well, tried to do a
little bit too much.”
Baldenegro did not allow another run over the next 2
2/3 innings of work, and Tolleson took the lead for good
with a three-spot in the third inning. A one-out error
allowed Billy Wilson to reach, and he was sacrificed to
second by Isaac Parra. The next three batters were Xavier
Terrazas, Walker and Henry Vasquez, in that order, and
they went double, single, double, plating three runs with
two outs.
Baldenegro then gave way to Parra in the bottom
of the fourth, as he had walked three hitters in the
inning.
“They were getting ready to turn the [batting] order
over for the third time, and this wasn’t the sharpest
he’s been,” Richardson said of Baldenegro. “ … Baldy
got us to the fourth, and I really like Baldy and Isaac
back to back because they’re two different pitchers.
Isaac throws hard enough where you’ve got to respect
that, but he’s got a good little slider too. It worked out
good.”
Parra got Rudy Karre to ground out to third on one
pitch, ending the threat.
Liberty got one run in the bottom of the fifth, making
it 4-3, but Tolleson unloaded on relief pitcher Spiro
Valasakos in the sixth inning. Tolleson got four hits,
walked twice and a batter was hit by a pitch, helping the
Wolverines score five runs. In the inning, Walker had his

assistant sports editor
Only three girls in the history of
Arizona high school tennis have
won four consecutive state singles
championships.
Estrella Foothills’ Erin Cory would
have had the
opportunity
to become the
GIRLS
fourth, but
TENNIS
the three-time
defending state
title holder in
Division III
is not playing her senior year because of
personal issues.
Instead, the Lady Wolves have someone
new that might be able to pick up where
Cory left off. Freshman Zoey Nelson is
ranked fifth in the state of Arizona by
tennisrecruiting.net.
“Zoey is amazing,” Estrella coach
Amanda Schell said. “Zoey has devoted
her entire youth to getting really good at
this sport. She’s a hard, hard, hard worker.
Her parents are a driving force as well,
and Zoey is quite remarkable … Without
injury, she’s going to be our next state
champion.”
Nelson has a good supporting cast,
too. Molly Bertel, a transfer from
Georgia, used to receive instruction
from Schell when she was younger
and lived in Arizona. Now that Bertel
is back, she has been Estrella’s No.
2 player, that is until recently losing
a challenge match to returnee Jordan
Iglesias.
“Jordan Iglesias is playing out of her
mind,” Schell said. “She beat Molly
[Tuesday], in a half set she won 3-1 and
won the second seed. Jordan was as fired
up as Jordan gets. Molly has a big serve,
but Jordan followed the technique, she
did an abbreviated take back and boom,
she returned her serve faster than the
serve came. Molly was surprised. It was
crazy.”
Iglesias and Bertel give Estrella a great
top half of its lineup, alongside Nelson at
No. 1.
“Molly is one of these self-driven
players,” Schell said. “She sets
standards so high for herself in every
aspect of her life. You could say she’s
a perfectionist, almost to a fault. I
wish she gave herself more of a break.
Therefore, I don’t have to really coach
her, I have to more cheer her and
encourage her. I really need her to
believe in her skills and not be such a
perfectionist … when she’s loose and
relaxed, hits freely, she hits like any
superstar around.”
Iglesias has made tremendous strides
from last year, Schell said.
“I think Jordan has realized that tennis
is her thing,” Schell said. “Every person
goes through their thing where they try
every sport out. Some are more keen to
individual sports. Jordan is an individualsport minded person, therefore she excels
at golf, excels in tennis. Something
switched in her, and she realized if I want
to get really good at this, I have to play a
lot.”
The team’s No. 4 is Sheena Coleman,
who has earned that spot despite coming
off of surgery on her eye, Schell said.
“She can hardly see, is technically blind
still, and she’s earning the fourth position,
coming out and doing it out of pure
desire,” Schell said. “She has this deficit,
but she’s making adjustments on the
court … With this eye, her lack of depth
perception, she’s trying to readjust. She’s
missing stuff she probably shouldn’t be
missing, but on the flip side, she’s hitting
some amazing forehands and serving
really nice. She’s managing to find a way
to win matches.”
Makenzie Garrido is the team’s No. 5
player, and Ashley Smith is No. 6.
“I think we’re really strong top to
bottom and I’m really excited about the
season, so much so I have to contain
myself,” Schell said.
Estrella is off to a good start,
winning its first match, 8-1 against
Phoenix Country Day, and earning
a forfeit victory against Scottsdale
Prep on Tuesday. The Lady Wolves
were scheduled to play at Antelope on
Thursday. Results were unavailable at
press time.
“This year was going to be our big,
big year, and Erin was an integral part
of our planning,” Schell said. “We still
have a good chance. I’m hoping to have a
team state championship. There is magic
happening.”

Since the decision was made last fall to field a varsity
football team at Arizona Christian University, the
coaching staff has been recruiting aggressively, putting
together the initial roster.
“We have 83 players signed and committed,” said
former Westview head
coach Jeff Bowen, who
is now ACU’s assistant
FOOTBALL
head coach/run game
coordinator/offensive line
coach. “Twenty-four of them are on campus now.”
Of the 83, 70 are from Arizona, including nine who
played for West Valley high schools: Bryton Green, OLB,
Verrado; Jordan Green, RB, Agua Fria; Luis Moscoso,
ILB, Verrado; Desmond Washington, DB, Westview;
Gerrit Groenewold, QB, Estrella Foothills/Arizona
Western College; Patrick Browne, RB, Tolleson/Glendale
Community College: Adrian Salazar, RB, Millennium;
Bronson Holland, TE, Estrella Foothills; and Brennan
Bowen, OL, Westview/Adams State University.
“We recruited the players that fit our offense,” Bowen
said.
The Firestorm will use a spread offense, Bowen said.
That is a departure from the run-heavy attack Bowen used
at Westview.
“Our run game is based on kind of what ASU and
UCLA do, while using wing-T principles,” Bowen said.
Several factors make ACU an attractive option for
Arizona players seeking to continue their gridiron
careers after high school, including being able to play
before family and friends, financial assistance and the
opportunity to travel nationwide in comfort.
As a National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics
school, ACU is allowed to award athletic scholarships,
but there are other funding sources available for potential
players, Bowen said.
“They are allowed to receive merit money based on
their grades,” Bowen said. “We have the Firestorm Fund
and they can receive Pell Grants. Since we are a Christian
school, we have church matches available.”
The Firestorm will play its home games at Phoenix
Shadow Mountain High School this season, opening
the campaign Aug. 23, hosting Evangel University. The
Firestorm will entertain Wayland Baptist on Aug. 30.
ACU will play as an independent during its initial
season before joining the Central States League, with
most of the teams located in Oklahoma and Texas.
Travel will not be a problem for the Firestorm, Bowen
said. The team will fly to away games.
“By flying, the guys won’t have to miss much school,”
Bowen said.
Flying to road games rather than busing is a significant
selling point for recruits.
“We will be playing road games in Florida, Missouri,
North Dakota, Oregon and Northern California,” Bowen
said. “The kids are excited about the opportunity to travel
without having to spend two or three days on a bus.”
The coaches are busy preparing for the March 18 start
of spring practice and, of course, recruiting.
Local players who have yet to graduate from high
school will be permitted by NAIA rules to participate in
two days of drills during spring practice, Bowen said.
“Our coaching staff is still recruiting, because
recruiting never stops for college coaches,” Bowen said.
“Our goal is to have 90 to 100 players when we go to
camp in July.
“We are also keeping busy putting in our offensive and
defensive packages.”
Gridiron pioneers
Making history by helping launch a new football
program was an inducement for both Washington and
Groenewold.
“Coach Bowen, my dad and I talked about being a
pioneer in starting a new program,” Washington said.
“It’s a great feeling starting a new program,”
Groenewold said. “I’m very blessed to get this
opportunity. It’s exciting to finally get the opportunity to
play. I have come here with the attitude to start and play.”
GERRIT GROENEWOLD tries to spot an open receiver while quarterbacking Estrella Foothills in 2012. After
sitting out last season at Arizona Western College, Groenewold is a member of Arizona Christian College’s
initial football recruiting class.
The ability to play collegiate football close to home,
and the compact ACU campus and small class sizes were
major considerations for Washington, who was a two-way
standout at Westview.
“It was all about comfort for me,” Washington said of
his decision to attend ACU. “There will be a lot fewer
distractions for me than going out of state.
“I don’t really like a big environment. I like it quaint.
The small class sizes appealed to me. You can get
[individualized] attention from instructors.”
Washington led the Knights in interceptions as a senior,
picking off three passes, and he recovered a fumble and
had 30 total tackles.
He also was an effective runner, carrying the ball 79
times for 596 yards and seven touchdowns. He caught
eight passes for 101 yards.
Washington plans to study biology in preparation for a
career as an anesthesiologist.
Groenewold is also appreciative of the chance of play
close to home.
As a senior at Estrella, Groenewold completed 79 of
139 passes for 1,309 yards and 16 touchdowns. He also
was a running threat, carrying the ball 86 times for 672
yards and eight touchdowns.
Following his 2013 graduation from Estrella,
Groenewold enrolled at Arizona Western College,
where he served as the scout team quarterback while he
redshirted last season.

so I couldn’t pass it up,” Groenwold said. “I will be able
to play only 40 minutes from home.”
Groenewold is already enrolled at ACU and living on
campus.
“I’m really enjoying it,” said Groenewold, who wants
to be a secondary education teacher.
Intriguing recruit
Brennan Bowen, a 2011 graduate of Westview, is an
interesting recruit, since playing at ACU will reunite him
with his father, Jeff, who coached him in high school.
Following a career at Westview, during which he
earned all-state honors as a center three times and capped
his high school career by being named to the Arizona
Coaches Association’s Class 5A-II All-State team as
well as gaining a spot on the coaches’ Top 25 team,
which recognizes the state’s 25 best players regardless of
classification, Bowen attended Adams State University in
Alamosa, Colo.
He was shifted from center to guard at Adams State
and became a starter before the season ended.
“Handling the snaps and concentrating on the blocking
assignments in that offense was difficult,” Brennan said.
“We did a lot of passing at Adams State. It was unfamiliar
to me at first but by the end of the year I was real
comfortable with it. That one year at Adams State really
helped.”
Bowen left Adams State following his freshman year
and has three years of eligibility remaining.
He is thrilled to be reunited with his father at ACU.
“It’s an incredible blessing to play for him [Jeff]
again,” Brennan said. “It was fun to play for him in high
school and coach with him, but it’s great to play for him
again.”
Playing at ACU makes it much easier for family and
friends to see him play.
“It’s real exciting to play before family and friends,”
Brennan said. “We have five home games scheduled.
Before, they had to travel nine hours to see me play.”
ACU’s relatively small size appeals to Brennan.
“It’s a great environment at ACU,” he said. “People
waking around campus are happy, their heads up,
smiling.
“The small classes are attractive. The classes are
actually smaller than my high school classes.”
The 24 athletes living on campus are a dedicated group
and have been conducting informal workouts on their
own, Brennan said.
“The 24 guys we have on campus are real solid,”
Brennan said. “They have come together fast.”
Other local recruits
Salazar gained 400 yards on 53 carries, scoring seven
touchdowns, as a Millennium senior, and he caught four
passes for 62 yards.
Moscoso had 66 total tackles for the Vipers last season,
including a sack. He also caused a fumble.
Bryton Green, a 2013 graduate of Verrado, had
93 tackles, including three sacks, for the Vipers as a
senior. He had one interception and recovered five
fumbles.
Jordan Green carried the ball 107 times for 549 yards
and three touchdowns as an Owls’ senior in 2013. He also
caught 15 passes for 316 yards and three scores.
Patrick Browne, a 2010 graduate of Tolleson, carried
the ball 86 times for 336 yards and two touchdowns as a
GCC sophomore in 2013.

Millennium
(From Page 10)
The Tigers (3-3) were unable to advance a base-runner
beyond first base. Following the team’s first two hits, the
next batter rapped into a double play.
“We weren’t mentally ready to play,” coach Ryan
Bethel said. “We knew Hamilton is one of the best teams
in the state and we weren’t ready.”
The Huskies got all the runs they would need in the
first inning off starting pitcher Avery Weems.
Ryan Peep led off the game with an infield single. The
next batter, Justin Wylie, reached on an error, and after
Peer and Wylie pulled off a double steal, Jake Boston
knocked in the run on a fielder’s choice.
Jalen Cook singled to lead off the bottom of the first for
Millennium but was quickly erased on a double play.
Hamilton added to its lead in the second on a three-run
home run to left by Wylie.
The Tigers got a one-out single by Sammy Anspach
in their turn at-bat, but he was doubled up by Chaz
Minghells.
Hamilton pushed across three more runs in the third,
taking a 7-0 lead.
Millennium got its final hit in the fourth, a two-out
single to right off the bat of Matt Olgin, but he was left
stranded.
The Huskies put the game away with a five-run
uprising in the sixth as Hunter Robson and Blake King
both had two-run doubles.
Offense lacking
Millennium has scored 10 runs in its last three games,
two of which were losses.
“I’m on the hunt for offense,” Bethel said. “I’ve been
mixing up the lineups in search of offense. Pitching-wise
and defense-wise, we’ll be in it but we’ve got to get the
offense going.”
Weems, who was making his third start of the season,
absorbed the loss. He went the first three innings
surrendering seven runs, five earned, on seven hits while
striking out one and walking none.
“He wasn’t his sharpest,” Bethel said. “We’ve seen him
sharper. He’s still going to go out there and pitch every
two days.
“If we make the plays in the first inning, he’s out of
there with 25 fewer pitches.”
John Abney followed Weems to the mound, hurling a
hitless inning. He fanned one and walked two.
“We wanted to get Abney like a bullpen,” Bethel said.
“Rather than have him throw after the game, we felt it
would be better to just let him pitch an inning.
“He’s done well for us. He beat Westview and
Verrado.”
MILLENNIUM’S GIO LOPEZ fields a ground ball Tuesday against Hamilton. The Tigers were handcuffed
by a pair of Huskies’ pitchers in a 12-0 loss.
Treyce Robinson finished up, going the final two
frames and giving up five earned runs on seven hits. He
struck out two and walked two.
Hamilton starter, Kent Hasler, earned the victory, going
five innings. He gave up three hits while striking out five,
all in his final two innings, and walking none. Tanner
Nedin mopped up and hurled a perfect sixth inning,
striking out two.
The Tigers host Scottsdale Chaparral at 4 p.m. today in
the first game of the Best of the West Tournament. They

because everybody knew
him. Before his health
declined, Pug was an

farmer, a car salesman, and owned and operated
a grocery store in Buckeye for several years.
Pug was an active member of the First Southern
Baptist Church in Avondale, and his passion for
ASU Athletics was second to none. After losing
his wife Pauline, who he leaned on so heavily, his
life was never completely the same. Pug leaves
behind 3 sons, Ron (Debbie), Rick (Dawn) and
Randy (Susan), brother Ken and sister Margaret
and many grandkids and great-grandkids. Visitation

Craig Culver, CEO and co-founder of the Culver’s
restaurant chain, visited the West Valley for a Wisconsin
party in the PebbleCreek community.
The party, which took place on March 9, was
co-organized by community member Sue White for
residents who have some connection to Wisconsin.
About a year before the event, Culver, who lives in
Wisconsin where he opened his first restaurant with his
parents, was invited to attend and speak.
While Culver said he attended the event because the
community asked him to, he also said he was looking for
a reason to experience warmer weather.
“The Wisconsin party at PebbleCreek asked about a
year ago and I said yes about a year ago,” he said. “Plus
it’s a chance to get out of Wisconsin. It’s been a tough
winter back home.”
During the party, he told people about the Culver’s
story.
According to the restaurant’s website, Ruth and George
Culver (Craig’s parents), opened their first restaurant in
1961.

StandDown, which assists homeless women veterans.
The donation was delivered to the Women Veteran
Section at the annual Arizona StandDown inside the
Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix.
The Arizona StandDown is the state’s singular outreach
event for homeless veterans and is held in several counties
each year. It relies upon contributions from the public.
TREA’s mission is to enhance the quality of life for
uniformed services personnel, their families and survivors
to stop the erosion of earned benefits through their
legislative efforts, to maintain esprit de corps, dedication
and patriotism.
Historical society gets affiliation,
certification
On Feb. 1, the Arizona Historical Society Board of
Directors awarded the Litchfield Park Historical Society
and Museum full affiliation and certification.
It is now listed with other museums in the state that
have achieved the same status. In addition, the museum
will now have the opportunity to apply for small grants,
and it will have access to Arizona Historical Society
resources and workshops.

TENDERNESS®
All their children were a part of the hospitality team by
serving guests.
Culver said the second and third restaurants both
opened in 1987, and attempted to franchise in 1988, but
with no success.
It wouldn’t be until 1990 when Culver’s successfully
franchised into the ice cream and burger joint many
people are familiar with today.
Culver said becoming a franchise was not a part of the
plan initially.
“Things just kind of evolved,” he said. “It was a lot of
hard work and we got through it.”
Culver said the main key to success of any business is
shifting attention to serving people.
“Our business is truly about people. There are people
who think it’s all about the product, but that’s the easy
part of the business,” he said. “It takes people that love
people and love working with people.”
However, he said nothing guarantees success.
“You’ve got to work at it every single day,” he said.
It’s that time
of the year!
