As a kid, Adonis Watt was diagnosed with a rare condition of congenital glaucoma that left him blind.
Watt, a freshman at Phoenix Brophy Prep, now embraces life with ‘blind courage’, as his mom calls it, getting into football, becoming a pianist and a ranked wrestler, and fundraising for other blind children.
He sees with his ears. I can still see; I just see differently, Watt says.
In his first high school football game, the other team — realizing that Watt was blind — opened up its defense in the final minute to let Watt run for a 45-yard touchdown.
But last week, Brophy coach Scott Heideman decided not to tell the refs Watt was blind. He went on to score two touchdowns, earning every yard, in a game against Mesa Mountain View.
Adonis, in his typical tone, 'Felt good,' like no big deal,'' Heideman said. He makes me forget every day that he can't see.

In Litchfield Park, where Camelback Road narrows to one lane, lies a stretch of land with no buildings in sight — just dirt, silence and the White Tank Mountains in the distance.
But it is somewhere special. White Tanks Cemetery is the final resting place for hundreds of Maricopa County residents, some of who died while living on the streets.
In the past four years, there have been 820 burials at White Tanks Cemetery.
The public is able to visit gravesites at White Tanks to pay their respects by placing flowers and other mementos. Round metal plates stick up from the ground marking the grave sites. The plates give only the name and birth date of the deceased.
“Any one of us could be in that situation, Chaplain Tom Chapman said. Why would we not want to honor those who do not have someone?

Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake complicated the White House’s efforts to get a swift confirmation vote on the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court, indicating Sunday in an interview with Politico that he wants to hear from the woman who is accusing the judge of sexual assault. The alleged incident happened decades ago.
Without Flake’s support, the Senate could have to bypass the Judiciary Committee and directly vote on Kavanaugh’s nomination.

Maile Vasquez is making history.
The Nogales High School junior emerged as the next talented Arizona high school female kicker, making all six of her extra-point tries during a 45-0 win over Tucson Catalina a week ago. The six points tied for the most scored by a female in an Arizona HS football game.
Vasquez came out for football after a joke between her and friend. Now, after beating out two other players for the job, she’s impressing as an extra-point and short-field-goal kicker.
She’ll see if she can become the next female football player from Arizona to earn a D. I or II college offer.
“I think it’s pretty cool that I’m setting records,” Vasquez said. “… My friends never doubted me at all. I love my team so much.”

Maricopa County’s Justice Courts often spend more time on a single traffic ticket than on a dozen life-altering evictions.

Today marks the 17th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Healing Field (pictured here), in Tempe, is the nation’s longest-running display of its kind honoring those who were killed. There are 2,977 flags standing.
Yellow ribbons designate first responders. Sky-blue ribbons mark flight crew members. Combat boots at the base of flag poles recognize the military, all donated by veterans. And stuffed bears, eight in all, are placed for the children killed.
Republic columnist Karina Bland wrote about the feeling of unity she found standing at the memorial site.

Cindy McCain served as the Arizona Cardinals' honorary captain during their season-opening game Sunday. It was her first public appearance since the funeral of her husband Sen. John McCain.
Larry Fitzgerald, Cardinals wide receiver and close friend of the McCains, stood next to her on the field.
Afterward, McCain took to Twitter to thank the team for the warm welcome and tribute to her husband. She called on people to fight for the civic values her husband stood for.
Support for our family has been overwhelming, she said on social media. We're going to keep fighting for the America John believed in everyday with the @McCainInstitute and hope you will join us #InTheArena.”

Sen. John McCain's life took on a fierce urgency after he was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2017, and he moved quickly to complete his final projects even as his health challenges sequestered him at his family home near Sedona.
McCain also never gave up hope that he might someday return to the U.S. Senate and, until April, was plotting a possible Capitol Hill comeback.
Rick Davis, a longtime member of McCain's inner circle who visited McCain frequently this year at the McCains' Cornville property, revealed new details about the final months of McCain's life out of the public eye.

Ariana Grande had just finished singing a powerful rendition of “A Natural Woman” at Aretha Franklin’s funeral when the pastor called the young pop star to the pulpit.
Bishop Charles Ellis wrapped his arm around Grande, pulled her close and pressed his fingers into the side of her breast.
The incident caused social media to blow up and the hashtag #RespectAriana began trending worldwide.
Our columnist Karina Bland wrote about the familiarity of that moment for so many women. Her story at the link in our bio.
