Play (simulation) ball!
Lifelong baseball lover drafts players at Goodyear Ballpark
by Charity Yodis
staff writer
At 6 years of age, he swung his baseball bat
for a Little League team in southern Illinois.
But that was only the start for lifelong
baseball enthusiast and founder of the Southwest
Baseball Association, Joe Hornback.
He remembers, as a child, listening to
Cardinals games on the radio while the adults
played softball.
Hornback said he was a big Chicago Cubs
fan in the days of player Ron Santo, but later
switched his loyalty to the Pittsburgh Pirates
around the mid-’70s.
“I kind of fell in love with the Pittsburgh
Pirates,” he said.

Mystery solved
Who was that guy on the Vista cover?
Powder River Jack, of course
by Frances Torrez
staff writer
A two-year mystery has finally been
solved thanks to the Litchfield Park
Historical Society and Museum.
It all started when the View published its
2012 spring/summer Vista. To commemorate
Arizona’s centennial, the cover included
photographs of prominent West Valley
leaders.
One of those photographs was thought to
be of Paul Litchfield, founder of Litchfield
Park and an executive of Goodyear Tire &
Rubber Co.
The View found the image in its archives
of historical photos with the file name “Paul
Litchfield.” It was in a folder of old pictures
of the Wigwam that had been scanned from
It’s what everyone’s reading
(See Mystery on Page 2)
POWDER RIVER JACK, an early entertainer at
the Wigwam in Litchfield Park, was thought to be Paul
Litchfield when he graced the cover of the spring/
summer 2012 Vista. After Vista printed, several readers
called the editor to say the man in the picture was not
Litchfield. The View ran a correction but until recently
still didn’t know who the mystery man was.
(From Page 1)
A correction that
ran in the View on
March 16, 2012,
just after Vista
printed, shows
the similarity
between Powder
River Jack and
Paul Litchfield.

originals many years ago.
After Vista was published, many readers informed the
editor that the man in the picture was not Litchfield.
The View later printed a correction titled “Who was that
guy on the cover?” and apologized for the error.
For the next two years, View staffers and readers would
remain baffled about the identity of the “guy on the
cover.”
Well, the mystery is over.
The person is Powder River Jack, an early entertainer
at the Wigwam, said Judy Cook, vice president of the
Historical Society.
“I was so delighted to have a name,” she said. “For two
years, we have been trying to find out who this man was.”
While preparing for a new exhibit about the Wigwam,
the Historical Society’s research team was archiving
newspaper articles about the resort.
That is when the team came across an article about
the resort’s 65th anniversary — written by the View
in November 1994 — and included a photograph that

labeled Powder River Jack as an entertainer, she said.
In the photo, he is standing next to another entertainer,
Pretty Kitty Lee, and a horse.
“It’s such a great story to finally find a little piece,”
Cook said. “It’s like putting a puzzle together up at the
museum. Anytime we find any little piece of trivia, it’s a
big day.”
Cook believes Powder River Jack was perhaps a
nickname or a stage name, and the photo was likely taken
during the Great Depression era, she said.
“These people, during the 1930s, would go from hotel
to hotel entertaining,” Cook said. “There was no TV or
anything like that. I would suppose he was some sort of
musician, maybe not. Maybe he was a storyteller.”
Entertainers would then “go north to those big old
hotels” because the resort closed during the summers at
that time, she said.
“They looked kinda like cowboys, and they had guitars
and … could ride horses,” she said. “It was sort of an
exotic thing in the 1930s, which was the Depression.”
But solving this two-year mystery has created a new
one — who was Powder River Jack and Pretty Kitty Lee?
“We don’t know anything about either one, but we’re
going to keep looking,” Cook said.

“The ballpark’s been great,” Hornback said. “They’re
letting us have our food and Internet early.”
Hornback won his first game in 1990, and he was also
awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2012 from the
association he started.
Association members range from sports writers and
lawyers to retired military and store owners. Only three
of the original players are still in the association that
started in the mid-’80s.
Hornback had played in various other simulation
associations before, but decided to start his own shortly
after moving to Phoenix. He said he wanted to combine
features from different groups.
“I decided that by combining all the different aspects, it
would make it even better,” he said.
At the March 15 game, eight of the 24 were able to
participate. The rest joined in via an online forum.
What Hornback said he likes most about the group is
the camaraderie.
“It’s the camaraderie, being with a group of likeminded people. It’s just fun and we have a blast,” he said.

under water, Deadman added.
The child was transported to a nearby
hospital in stable but critical condition.
“The child was crying [during
transport], which is a very positive sign,”
Deadman said. “It’s by no means the only
indicator, because bacteria and ammonia
in the bathtub can be a concern for a
1-year-old, but it’s a better sign than not
crying.”
At last update, the child had not been
released from the hospital yet, Deadman
said.
Palo Verde ranks high in electricity production
View report
The Palo Verde Nuclear Generating
Station has been the largest power
producer for the last 22 consecutive years,
generating 31.4 million megawatt-hours
in 2013. The plant remains the only U.S.
generating facility to produce more than
30 million megawatt-hours in one year.
Unit 2 produced more electricity than
any other reactor in the U.S., and was
second most productive in the world,
according to industry data. Unit 1 ranked
third in the U.S., and seventh in the world.
Unit 3 ranked 16th in the U.S. and 28th in
the world.
Other accomplishments include a record
refueling outage and an outstanding
simultaneous operation. Last year’s Unit
1 refueling outage began on March 30
and was completed on April 28, for a
total of 29 days and 18 hours. For the
simultaneous operation, three units
operated simultaneously for 160 days
beginning on April 28 and ending Oct. 5.

OUR VIEWPOINT
BEELER’S OPINION — The Columbus Dispatch
EDITORIAL
Drones and
sunshine
It’s still Sunshine Week and we know, we’re beating
you all over the head with it, but open government and
freedom of information is that important to us.
We belong to the International Society of Weekly
Newspaper Editors and for the past few weeks, we’ve all had
a rather lengthy discussion on the topic of Sunshine Week.
Here’s what one of our members, Rollie Atkinson,
publisher of Sonoma West Publishers, wrote last year for
the Healdsburg Tribune in California:
The conflict between the public’s right to know and a
person’s right to privacy might be explained this way: We
need to always know what our government is up to, while
we reserve the right to keep our own affairs private from the
government and all others unless we first give permission.
Today, we have big troubles on both of these fronts.
Our private communications and activities are constantly
snooped upon by our government, credit card companies,
Google, Facebook and others. And, our government
is launching secret drones in the skies and hiding too
many public records behind digital firewalls and national
security excuses.
That is why, for these reasons and others, journalists
and newspapers celebrate Sunshine Week every year at
this time. (March 16 is James Madison’s birthday, who is
considered to be the “father of the U.S. Constitution” and
chief author of our Bill of Rights.)
Our private lives are no longer closed and our
government’s business is not open enough. But this is not
as simple as an “open and shut” case.
Sunshine Week is dedicated to spotlighting the
importance of the public’s right to know and promoting
transparency in all government actions. It is a week
when “watch dog” journalism is saluted and the eternal
vigilance to protect our Bill of Rights is re-ignited.
But these days you can’t talk about keeping some
things public without also looking at what’s happening
to our rights of privacy. The same powerful computer
networks that snoop on our individual private lives are the
same data tools we need to use to keep our governments
and politicians honest and “on the record.”
We don’t want our local elected officials sharing
private emails behind our backs when they might be
making decisions about our schools, tax money or
proposed land developments. But we do want our
emails kept private. We want to search for government
documents on the Internet but we don’t want the
government or anyone else tracing our footsteps or
keyboard clicks.
We might have better luck protecting our access to
open government than we will protecting our privacies,
sad to say.
We have some special laws that require governments
to do business in public, but there are next to no laws that
actually protect our privacy. There are open meeting and
public record laws like California’s Ralph M. Brown Act
and the Freedom of Information Act. These laws are not
just for journalists, they protect everyone.
The original U.S. Constitution does not specifically
protect individual privacy. The Bill of Rights guarantees
the right to free speech and beliefs and it says government
can not invade someone’s home or private belongings.
Wiretapping is supposed to be illegal but the Patriot Act
allows government to eavesdrop on anyone at anytime
if it suspects a threat to national security. Library book
rental lists, bookstore receipts and telephone logs of U.S.
citizens have been confiscated under the Patriot Act.
Meanwhile, there is very little any of us can do about
Google, Facebook or our banks from spying on our daily
consumer activities. Once we “agree” to be allowed access
to a website or credit account, we sacrifice parts of our
privacy. At the grocery store, we might “opt out” of their
savings club card, but once we swipe our ATM card, they
know where to find us and what kind of ice cream we like.
It is very unnerving to visit a news website, read a story
and see your Facebook photo at the bottom of the page,
asking if you would like to add a comment. And all that
spam in your mailbox is tailor-made just for you. They
know where you’ve been and where you will be going next.
Imagine if we had that kind of power over our
governments and politicians. Does this mean that one day
we might all have our own fleets of secret flying drones?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
be Coots but less to deal with. I
love looking at the water fowl as
much as anyone, but recognize
the reality of this problem and
give kudos to the HOA for doing
what was necessary. As far as
seeing dead doves, I have yet to
see one on my property or on
walks around the lake.

HOA did what

Roy Sharp
Goodyear
Editor:
Since the debate over Coots
in Estrella Mountain Ranch
continues, I decided to add
my 4-bits (infalation). I have
lived year-round on the shore
of South Lake for 12 years
and know first hand the mess
we have to contend with due
to overpopulated Coots. I also
know first hand the efforts of
the HOA to deal with the Coots
over the years in a humane
manner. We have tried a variety
of scare tactics, such as dogs,
battery operated model boats,
and reducing seeding of green
area around the lake. Besides the
unsightly poop mess left behind
by the Coots, which outnumber
ducks and other water fowl 50:1
in my guesstimate, is the health
concern to residents and their
pets walking and playing around
the lake. Based on my experience
in other locations faced with this
type of issue, the only effective
way to manage this problem
is by killing off the Coots for
several years to break up the
migration pattern. There will still
Bush vs.
Kennedy
Editor:
In response to Carol
Landesman’s letter of 3/07, I
stand corrected in that President
G.W. Bush did not receive the
majority of the popular vote in
the 2000 Presidential election.
However, he was duly elected
by the Electoral College, after
the Supreme Court decision.
The President is elected by the
Electoral College, not by the
popular vote. Obviously, you
are no fan of Bush, but if he had
been your candidate of choice
you would have been pleased
with the outcome.
At least Bush won the election
honorably, as opposed to John F.
Kennedy in 1960, who became
President only after 100,000
dead people from Chicago voted
for him.

Where were
the parents?
Editor:
Mickey is not at fault for the
unfortunate accident that sent the
4 year old boy to the hospital.
Mickey acted to what he
considered a threat. Children
will look directly at an animals
eyes which the dog takes as
a hostile message. Next they
smile, which to the animal means
the child has bared it’s teeth,
clearly an act of aggression.
Typically they raise their arms
high and forward toward the
dog, which again is threatening
an attack. If the child holds out
his hands this looks like an open
mouth with large teeth. This is a
threat to the dog.
But I ask this question. Where
are the parents? This is like a
child left alone by a swimming
pool. The dog should not pay the
price of neglectful parents.
This information on how
dogs react is taken from Stanley
Coren’s book, HOW TO SPEAK

land for the benefit of the large
landholding speculators here in
Litchfield Park. The proposal is
suspiciously similar to the one
that was put forward in 1991 in
which land speculators at that
time wanted to develop highly
profitable housing on available
land. To help the City pay for the
maintenance of these new areas
they promised a pedestrian friendly
revenue generating town center.
Well, they did their development
and made their profits. Where is
the town center? Why are we in
the old part of town living in such
a world of brown grass, bent signs

of always criticizing President
Obama and the Democratic Party

Tell us Roy exactly what you

rejected by the voters, so put

Christ taught
love
Editor:
I’m responding to William
Clark’s recent letter in support
of SB 1062. It is a free country,
so you are entitled to be
homophobic and bigoted. But as
a Christian, I object strenuously
to your attempt to justify/blame
your attitudes on Jesus Christ.
We have no evidence that Jesus
ever taught — even once — on
the topic of homosexuality.
However, he did teach us to
love God and our neighbor —
and he was pretty clear he had
a revolutionarily expansive
definition of “neighbor.” Modern
scholars agree that Genesis
10:1-11 has nothing to do with
loving, consensual same-sex
relationships, but is a lesson on
hospitality and the criticality of
protecting vulnerable outsiders
(e.g., from vigilante sexual
violence). In the King James
translation, Leviticus 11:9-12
uses the term “abomination” a
whopping four times to denounce
the eating of sea animals without
fins and scales. (I assume you
are familiar with that strong
condemnation, and as a result
you are regularly picketing at
Red Lobster and other business
that sell shellfish.) The Apostle
Paul funded his missionary work
through his tent-making business.
He was living among people with
very different theological and
moral views. It seems unlikely he
would have only sold his tents to
customers whose sexual practices
and lifestyles were in accord
with his world view. Indeed, that
was the point of his ministry
— to reach out to people unlike
himself to share the Good News
of Christ. Mr. Clark, you are
certainly entitled to your views,
but as a Christ-follower, I find it
BLASPHEMY that you attribute
to the Prince of Peace a license
for bigotry. Letters like yours
misrepresent the Gospel and
resultantly drive people away
from Christ. There are so many

lake and then have the birds
destroyed when they became a
“nuisance”.
Perhaps the only hope for
preventing this tragedy in the
future would be if the zoning
regulations were amended to
prohibit the construction of such
artificial habitats.
Obviously, that’s too much to
hope for.
In any case, your editorial was
a sensible public statement on this
tragic event. Thank you for that.

Know facts
before writing
Editor:
This is in response to J Curcio
on 3/14. While in the eyes of
many of us, Charlie McClendon
walked on water, he did not
have the authority to approve
site plans. That is the job of
the Planning and Zoning and
City Council bodies. If you had
attended those meetings when
the Q-Trip was under discussion,
you would have learned it is
VERY difficult to disapprove
a Special Use Permit under the
guidelines required and hopefully
met. However, your voice would
have been heard.
In addition, no one in City
Hall can cause a development
permit land use to expire. Only
the landowner can control that
and he is given that timeframe at
time of approval of his permit.
Even if it expires, and returns
to its original designation, the
landowner still needs to maintain
its property. If there is a state
of disarray on the property, the
Code Enforcement folks, not
Charlie McClendon, will be
on top of it with the property
owner. There are rules for
that enforcement as well and
sometimes take longer than most
of us would like.

Not falling
for mirage
Editor:
As an Avondale resident who
calls Detroit, Michigan home,
I’d also like to respond to Joann
Mylar’s letter about Downtown
Avondale’s ‘aesthetics,’ Shocked
By Avondale. I was relieved to
find one other person willing to
state the obvious.
Having travelled many parts
of the U.S., it’s not unusual
to find border towns “gutted
in name only” as Detroit also
appeared for many years. Finally
the reality of what some may
consider an unrealized dream
and others may consider an
intentional nightmare could no
longer be postponed.
I recently found it necessary
to say to someone of Mexican
descent whose behavior pattern
I interpreted as harassing me,
“Call the police and have me
jailed for not being Mexican.”
If the border town dream is
of a new Mexico, established
U.S. residents may ask how that
benefits what works about the
America that currently exists.
If the true intent is to bend
others to the collective will
imposed by one group/ethnicity,
I guess ending up just like
bankrupted Detroit at some point
in the future, say fifteen years
from now, may look like an
opportunity rather than a missed
opportunity.
Just because we live in the
desert doesn’t mean we have to
reason from a mirage.
Ruth LaHaie Rixx

Town of
opportunity?
Editor:
As one approaches the
fine city of Tolleson from the
north on 91st avenue, a rustic,
weather beaten sign warns us,
“Welcome to Tolleson the town
of opportunity.” Opportunity?
Opportunity for whom?
Recently Mr. Reyes Medrano,
City of Tolleson City Manager
was featured on commanding
what many people consider an
outrageous salary ($181,000
yearly plus perks.) In defense
of Medrano Mayor Gamez
stated that Tolleson houses a
significant number of Fortune
500 companies. Surely he’s not
referring to Westside icons as
Pete’s, Pina’s nor the Wagon
Wheel (now El Fuego).
In the corporate world
generous compensation packages
are awarded to city leaders
commensurate with related
academic preparation, continued
growth (evidenced), perpetual
economic stability to include job
creation and career opportunities
for its citizens.
However, the issue remains:
significant financial increases
should be based on a solid track
record and specific evidences of
a pragmatic approach to solid
economic business development,
expansion of services and
problem solving strategies not
on nebulous and intangible
“views” held by a group of small
town elected officials. Cuddos
to Juan Rodriguez the lone
desecendent vote who based it on
his view “significantly far on the
compensation side.” Yes, very far.
As a resident of Avondale
for 69.5 years and a retired
educator this writer occasionally
visits relatives in Tolleson. The
welcome sign is still there.

Agua Fria produces deluge of runs
by Mike Russo
sports editor
Sprinklers that turned on in left and
center field in the top of the seventh
inning were fittingly emblematic of the
way Agua Fria rained on Westview’s
parade Tuesday.
The visiting Owls sprayed 18 hits
around
Westview’s
BASEBALL
field en
route to a
20-8 victory.
The win was especially cathartic for
Agua Fria (2-10), which had lost 22-3 at
Estrella Foothills the previous night.
“That sure feels good,” Agua Fria coach
Justin Lensch said, “We’ve been on the
other side of those kinds of games.
“My assistant coach told me, ‘Coach,
we have seen a lot of runs in the last two
games.’”
The Owls had scored three runs in the
top of the first inning at Estrella Monday
only to see the Wolves respond with eight
runs, only one earned, in their turn at-bat.
“I was glad the kids were able to put
yesterday behind us and treat this as a new
game,” Lensch said.
For the Knights (1-6), it was a familiar
scenario.
“We bleed a slow death,” Westview
coach Ron Solares said of the team’s
propensity to fall behind and then rally to
score just enough to avoid being run-ruled
before eventually losing. “We haven’t
figured out we need to make the routine
plays. It’s not enough to hit a home run
and doubles. We haven’t figured out the
little details of the game.”
Agua Fria had a chance to close out the
game in the fifth inning by the mercy rule
but allowed the opportunity to slip away.
The Owls pushed across six runs in the
top of the fifth, aided by the benevolence
of Westview’s pitchers, who walked five
consecutive batters, resulting in three runs
scoring without the ball being put in play.
Agua Fria carried a 17-5 lead into the
bottom half of the frame, needing to hold
the Knights to two or fewer runs to secure
victory. It surrendered three, only one of
which was earned, as the team made a pair
of costly errors.
“As long as we play defense, we are in
the ballgame,” Lensch said. “They may

have been a little nervous at the end. They
kept their composure and closed out the
inning.”
Good start for Knights
Westview, which has struggled
offensively, got a one-out single by Nick
Andrus in the bottom of the first inning,
followed by a run-scoring double by
Dylan Miller, to make it 1-0.
Matthew Amaro followed with a single
and Hunter Barnum walked, loading the
bases. However, Troy Schmidt-Hergert
struck out and C.J. Lane flew out to
center, stranding the three runners.
Agua Fria answered with six runs in the
top of the second. Michael Jacoby struck
the big blow, a two-out, two-run double to
left-center field.
The Knights got two of the runs back in
the bottom of the inning on RBI singles by
Miller and Amaro.
Agua Fria moved ahead 8-3 in the
third, with Keaton Stockton and Steven
Pernatozzi singling home runs.
The Owls took an 11-3 lead in the
fourth, highlighted by Jason Leija’s first
home run of the season, which scored

Mikel Jolley, who singled ahead of him.
“I got a fastball,” Leija said. “I just barely hit it. I
wasn’t sure it would go out.”
Westview closed to within 11-5 in the bottom of the
inning on Amaro’s second homer in as many games.
“It was just a fastball right there,” Amaro said. “I knew
it was coming. I saw his arm slot.
“I didn’t think I got all of it.”
After Westview kept the game alive by avoiding being
run-ruled, Agua Fria tacked on three more runs in the
seventh, getting a run-scoring single from Bobby Bustos
and a two-run single by Jolley.
The Owls’ offense was led by Leija, Jake Santilla,
Jolley and Nick Herrera, all of whom had three hits.
Santilla, Jolley and Jacoby all had doubles.
Leija drove in four runs and Jacoby and Jolley had an
RBI apiece.
“I was very pleased,” Lensch said. “They stayed with
their approach, working it to the opposite field.”
Westview produced 11 hits, including two doubles and
a homer.
“We hit the ball well today,” Solares said. “We’re
coming out and playing hard. That’s all you can ask of
them.”
Amaro and Miller both had three hits to pace the
Knights. Amaro drove in three runs and Miller two.
Bustos was the Owls’ starting pitcher. He went three
innings, yielding three runs, all earned, on four hits. He
struck out five and walked two.
Santilla and Jordan Burnett, both went two innings.
Santilla surrendered five runs, only two earned, on five
hits. He fanned two and walked one.
Burnett gave up no runs and only one hit, striking out
four and walking two.
“Bobby struggled to get the ball down and they were
catching up to it,” Lensch said. “We made the change to
make sure that we could hold the lead.”
Ernest Moreno was Westview’s starter and loser. He
worked the first 1 2/3 innings, giving up six runs, three
earned, on four hits. He struggled with his control,
walking one and hitting a batter, while striking out one.
Both teams were plagued by errors, committing four
each.

Desert Edge may have been suffering from a spring
break hangover, as the Scorpions had a bad start to this
week’s Coach Bob Tournament.
The Scorpions gave up four first-inning runs against
Jenks, Okla., on Monday, the first day back at school
after last week’s spring
break, and never recovered,
losing their tourney opener
BASEBALL
9-2.
“We just lack focus on
this team,” Desert Edge
coach Sean McCorry said. “ … It’s always a constant
battle of teaching these guys how to come to the ballpark
prepared.
“There are a lot of good things going on out there …
We’re 4-4, so it’s only eight games in, but it’s just trying
to get these guys to understand you have to focus every
game.”
Things didn’t start great for the Scorpions, as a walk
and then an error on a bunt put Trojans runners on first
and third with nobody out. Desert Edge then botched a
first-and-third play, as they had the runner picked off of
first base but couldn’t get an out on the rundown.
“We’re in play two, throw the ball to second and get
the out at second,” McCorry said. “What do they do, they
run, we step off, we do everything right, but instead of
getting the guy out at second we’re looking at third and
there is no reason to look at third. If he wants to run, let
him run, it’s 1-0. The next guy flies out, so it would have
been two outs, but instead we give up four runs because
of things like that, and that’s focus, because we know
what to do.”
All told, the Scorpions had four errors in the game,
and were crushed by Jenks’ cleanup hitter, Allan Beer.
Beer had three hits, including two home runs and a
triple, driving in three runs. Cadon Owens also had a
home run.
“That’s a good team,” McCorry said of Jenks. “Two
guys in the lineup that can pop one out, and he [Beer] hit
two out and a triple. It’s a good hitting team. Physically
yes, they’re better, but it’s trying to get our guys to
understand if you play a good game, play your style of
baseball, play a clean game, you can play with them.”
Desert Edge had opportunities to score all game, as
they had 13 baserunners, but lacked the big hit. In fact,
the Scorpions only had two hits. The other runners were
courtesy of six walks and five hit batsmen.
Both of Desert Edge’s runs came in the bottom of the

Just 10 days after Estrella Foothills beat San Tan Valley
Combs to win the Joe S. Padilla Tournament in Florence,
the teams squared off in a power-points contest Tuesday
at Estrella that didn’t go the
way of the home squad.
Combs broke open a
BASEBALL
scoreless game with six
runs in the third inning and
never looked back, beating the Wolves, 12-4.
“Going in the first time, we were evenly matched,
we hadn’t seen each other in a couple years — we
got the win, they came back hungry,” Estrella coach
Pat McCubbins said. “I’m not going to say we
underestimated them, but I think sometimes we forget
that each night is a new night, and they came out ready to
play, shoot. They swung the bats very well tonight.”
Combs (6-3) had 12 hits and scored in every inning
from the third on. That was important, as the Wolves
(8-2) answered Combs’ six-spot in the third with four
runs of their own in the bottom half of the frame. That
was as close as they would get.
“We cut the lead there to two runs and they came right
back and started to add to it,” McCubbins said. “I think
we just pressed a little bit. Fortunately, we haven’t played
from behind a whole lot this year. A little bit of pressure,
but those are things we can correct.”
Cole Hinzmann took the loss, his first of the season,
after throwing brilliantly in his first two outings. He
had only allowed one earned run in his first 11 innings
pitched, but got tagged for eight runs, six earned, in four
innings on Tuesday. He gave up five hits, walked four and
struck out two.
“That’s going to happen,” McCubbins said. “He has
thrown really well, and he’s only a sophomore. This is a
good game for him to understand, OK, I have done real
well, I can take this one and learn from it, put it in the
back of my mind and keep building on what success I
have had.”
After the six-run third by Combs, Estrella’s rally started
with a leadoff double by Darian Martinez. Cameron
McCubbins then doubled to right, advancing to third on
an error, and the Wolves were on the scoreboard at 6-1.
With one out, John Berroth singled home McCubbins,
and Noah Critchfield was hit by a pitch. Baylor Giannini
then knocked in a run with a single to center, and the next
batter, Hinzmann, beat out a fielder’s choice that allowed
Critchfield to score, making it 6-4.
“That’s exactly what we wanted to do at that point,
cut the lead in half, and that’s what we did,” Cameron
CAMERON McCUBBINS of Estrella Foothills rounds second and heads for third Tuesday against Combs.
Combs avenged an earlier loss to the Wolves, winning, 12-4.
McCubbins said. “If we could have kept it up, but
there’s nothing we could have done differently, they just
outplayed us this game. Hopefully we’ll see them later in
the year.”

third inning when it was trailing 6-0. Adrian Mojica
led off with a walk and moved to second when Victor
Rocha was hit by a pitch. Both runners advanced on a
wild pitch, and Devyn Fowler’s single to right brought
home the Scorpions’ first run. Anthony Hernandez then
laid down a safety squeeze bunt, plating Rocha with the
second run.
Hernandez had another chance to drive in runs in the
sixth, but with the bases loaded and two outs his liner to
center was caught, ending the inning.
“Anthony did a great job with the safety squeeze, then
he comes up with the bases loaded and I let him swing
away, he hits a hard ball to center,” McCorry said. “So
there are a lot of good things, but these guys at some
point have to take ownership and playing together as a
team and as a group.”
Mound strength
Desert Edge ran three different pitchers out to face
Jenks, with Zane Ellis faring the best. He pitched the
fourth and fifth innings, allowing just two hits and one
unearned run.
“He did all right, but he’s so green to pitching,”

McCorry said. “We didn’t use him last year. I wish we
would have. We knew he had a good arm but I didn’t
think about putting him on the mound until this fall. I like
what he can do, but he’s more about the show. I think he
can help us when he just goes out and attacks the zone.”
McCorry considers his team’s pitching staff as one of
their strong points.
“We don’t have overpowering guys, but we throw
strikes,” McCorry said. “It was a little disappointing for
us to go out and walk the leadoff hitter, then that inning
turns into four runs. When you’re playing a good team,
you can’t fall behind like that.”
Desert Edge came back on Tuesday to win its first of
a pair of games, beating Bartlesville, Okla., 5-1. The
Scorpions then traveled to Tolleson for the nightcap,
losing 12-1 to the Wolverines. On Wednesday, Desert
Edge beat El Mirage Dysart, 18-1. The Scorpions’ record
is now 6-5. McCorry knows his team can finish with a
winning record this year, he said. It all comes back to
focus though.
“I told them, you guys could end up .500 again, or you

Spurred by senior Nick Cunningham’s championship in
the Gold bracket singles, Millennium won the team title
of the West Valley High School Tennis Invitational March
14-15 at Paseo Racquet
Center.
Glendale Deer Valley was
BOYS
the runner-up and Phoenix
TENNIS
Greenway and Phoenix
Thunderbird tied for third.
“They were excellent,”
coach Sergio Velazquez said of his team. “It was unfortunate that they scheduled the tournament during spring
break. We had some kids who were unavailable. We had
to adjust and use subs. For not having my full team, they
still did pretty well.
“We had some players who stepped up and played
well. It was a real strong outing for us. While this is not
the state tournament, it is a good indicator of the team’s
strength.”
Cunningham defeated Derek James of Thunderbird,
6-1, to win his fourth consecutive singles title at the
tournament.
“Nick has won the tournament every year,” Velazquez
said. “Knowing that this is his last year, it’s nice that he
won.”
Cunningham is looking to cap his high school career
with an improved finish in the Division I state singles
tournament.
Cunningham lost to Yash Parikh of Tucson Salpointe
Catholic in the quarterfinals of last year’s tournament.
Cunningham was not the Tiger’s only medalist at the
tourney.
Christian Hurtado was the runner-up in the Silver
bracket singles. He lost 6-1 to Andrew Nguyen of Deer
Valley.
“Hurtado was sick Thursday and Friday with strep
throat,” Velazquez said. “I didn’t expect him to go that far
with having been sick. I was pretty impressed.”
Millennium did not have a doubles entry that
medaled.
Greenway’s David Roper and Ben Davis defeated Gary
Tanner and Baker Caron of Cottonwood Mingus, 6-3, to
win the Gold doubles title.
The Silver doubles champions were Carlos Waldra and
Michael Strange of Thunderbird.
Among the missing
Among the missing players were freshman Yareck
Wojcik and No. 4 player Daniel “Woody” Gant, both of
whom were ill.
“Yareck is only 14,” Velazquez said. “He has played
USTA tournaments and is ranked.
“He has played very well. He has not lost a set yet this
year.
“Woody has also played well this year.”
The Tigers have started the season going 3-1 in dual
matches.
“We have a strong team this year, with a lot of seniors,”
Velazquez said. “In our only loss, I had only half of my
team.”
Millennium was scheduled to return to the court
Thursday, hosting Westview. The result was unavailable
at press time.

Cunningham leads Tigers to team title
(From Page 13)
but couldn’t get the big hit when it was
needed. It’s not that they didn’t hit the
ball hard, but oftentimes it was right at
somebody.
“We’ve been swinging really well,” Pat
McCubbins said. “Offensively, I don’t
know what we do much different. Early in
the game we get the leadoff guy on, move
him over, we’re sitting in the middle of the
lineup and just can’t score him. But those
are hard hit balls.
“The kids are taking good approaches,
our strikeouts are way down. There is not
much to change, we just got beat.”
The loss came one day after Estrella
had thumped Agua Fria, winning 22-3.
Unfortunately for the Wolves, they
couldn’t get past a good Combs team for a
second time.
“We knew they were going to come out
with some emotion after how it was in the
tournament,” Cameron McCubbins said.
“We need to be humbled sometimes and
today they just played a better game than
we did. They hit it where we weren’t, and
we hit it where they were.”
Milestone
Cameron McCubbins hit a milestone in
the game for Estrella, as his two doubles
gave him 43 for his career, which is a new
Class 3A record. The old one was held
JOHN BERROTH slides
home with an Estrella
Foothills run Tuesday
against Combs, however, it
was not enough to avert a
12-4 loss.

Wolves
by Chandler Seton Catholic’s Ted Pattock
(2000-03).
“It’s nice, but the more important
thing would have been the team
accomplishment,” Pat McCubbins said.
“So it’s nice, but chalk that up to a nice
individual accomplishment, but he himself
would have told you he’d rather have gone
0 for 4 and gotten the W.”
Cameron said almost that.
“It’s overshadowed, especially because
how much this team means to me,” he
said. “It would be a lot more important
and make me feel a lot better if we could
come out with the win.”
Estrella has two more games left in
a busy week, playing at 3:45 today at
Kingman Academy and playing at 2 p.m.
Saturday at Buckeye. Pat McCubbins
said his team needs to put this loss behind
them quickly and focus on this weekend’s
games.
“We better because we’ve got some big
games coming up,” he said. “We’ve got
Kingman Academy, who we’ve never seen
but we think is going to be very good, and
Buckeye is always competitive.”

Tempo Urban Bistro
and Coffee Bar
A relative newcomer to Verrado, Tempo Urban
Bistro and Coffee Bar is poised to be the place to dine in
the foothills of the White Tank Mountains. Open since
September, 2013, the coffee bar has become a favorite
of Verrado residents every morning and all day long.
Tempo Urban Bistro opened its doors in October, 2013
and has had a steady base of regular patrons from all
parts of the west valley coming back for more! Tempo
is a cutting edge Urban Bistro focused on fresh food,
craft beer, wine, music, art and coffee.
Steven and Karen Maynard, proprietors of Tempo
Urban Bistro and Coffee Bar, moved to Verrado from
New York State when Karen received an offer to
transfer to Arizona. Steven is an established chef with
over thirty years experience primarily working for
country clubs and fine dining establishments.
Tempo Urban Bistro prides itself on being a
“scratch” kitchen. The chefs use only the freshest
ingredients, many of which are grown locally right
here at Blue Sky Organic Farms in Litchfield Park.
The restaurant features a wide variety of menu items.
Steven recommends the Beef Short Rib paired with
the house brew “Tempo Ale” or any of the fine red
wines found on their extensive list. Right now, Lobster
Macaroni and Cheese and Fish Fry Fridays are very
popular. The Friday fish fry is made east coast style
using fresh cod fish.
Tempo offers a full bar featuring craft brews and
an upscale wine list at affordable prices. Take out and
phone orders are welcomed. Plenty of parking available
in the Main Street parking area located behind the
restaurant. Military discounts at the coffee bar. Tempo
