The holidays are a time of giving, and Miles Morell learned that in a big way just days before Christmas. Thanks to a caring community, the U.S. Air Force Security Forces veteran was presented with a brand new, fully furnished two-bedroom home within the new Christopher Todd Communities at Country Place complex in Tolleson. An excited Morell called it a blessing. “I wasn’t able to help move. They wouldn’t let me, because they did not want me to see the place. So, already you’re anticipating, ‘Oh, what’s it going to look like?’” Morell said with a grin. “When I came in, it just looks amazing.” Morell, 26, originally of Tucson, enlisted after high school. He spent six years with the Air Force, going on two tours, and estimates having spent approximately three years and eight months of this time away. He has served in Kuwait and Afghanistan, and was honorably discharged in 2016. He suffers from PTSD. “I chose not to re-enlist because I spent so much time already away from my boys that I wanted to come out and be a father full-time,” explained Morell, a single father of Keoni, 7, and Zayd, 2. Upon entering the home, Morell and his sons appeared amazed and grateful at the furnishings and décor, as well as a fully decorated Christmas tree and baked treats on the kitchen counter. “I felt great,” Keoni offered succinct-

Verrado baseball alum dies in car crash By Eric Newman

Verrado High School graduate and University of Sioux Falls freshman baseball player Nicholas Breckyn Montaño is remembered as a caring student who excelled at anything he set his mind to. Montaño, 18, died Saturday, December 15, in a one-vehicle car crash at the intersection of west I-10 frontage road and

north Cotton Lane in Goodyear while home on Christmas break. A Nissan passenger vehicle, driven by an 18-year-old man from Glendale, failed to stop at the intersection, said Quentin Mehr with the Department of Public Safety. Driving through the intersection, the vehicle struck the orange plastic jersey barrier on Cotton Lane. The driver and the

front seat passenger were transported from the scene and admitted to a local hospital for severe injuries. Montaño, the backseat passenger, died at the scene from his injuries. The crash is being investigated. “As talented as he was between the lines,

High-speed internet and smart technology fees are covered during Morell’s three years of free and reduced rent. The giveaway is valued at around $40,000. Christopher Todd Communities builds gated single-family, single-story, one- and two-bedroom home rental communities in the style of apartment complexes. Smart home technology features include keyless door entry, doorbell cameras, and aspects of the homes that can be controlled with phone or tablet applications. Other apartment-style amenities like a community pool are included. With each such community the developer opens, one post-September 11, 2001, veteran who is transitioning to civilian life is awarded a home. Additionally, Christopher Todd Communities offers discounts to veterans and municipal employees. “I think really for me it’s amazing because you can feel how grateful they are,” said Chad Bowman, vice president of operations for Christopher Todd Communities. “Miles is just such a good person, such a great individual, but what

also goes through my mind is how he’s going to give back to us just by being here. Just having him in our community is an enrichment to the community. Here we are trying to help him and it’s already going to bless us and those around in just having him and his boys living here.” Morell is the program’s second recipient. The first was U.S. Marine Corps veteran Jonathan Hancock, who moved into Christopher Todd Communities in Surprise earlier in 2018. The company plans to give three more veterans homes this year. “We feel really fortunate as an organization, Christopher Todd Communities, to even be able to build these developments. We feel passionate about giving back and we feel the veteran community is one that sacrificed much more than we could ever imagine,” Bowman explained. “Our CEO, Todd Wood, he’s really passionate about supporting them and doing anything we can. We wanted to do more than just a ‘thank you.’” A Valley nonprofit, Drive By Blessings, helped furnish the home and provide additional household items. “I was just excited to jump on this opportunity because this is a part of what we do,” said Karynda Kearns, president

of Drive By Blessings. “There’s other nonprofits that give furniture to veterans, but we try to give them a home.” Drive By Blessings was founded in 2015. Kearns said the idea to form a nonprofit that would help the homeless came from her sons, Owen and Aidan, who were looking to overcome an emotional trauma that caused PTSD. In January 2016, Drive By Blessings started providing furniture to veterans, she said. With the nonprofit growing rapidly, Kearns estimated that Drive By Blessings served upward of 50 veterans in its first year, increasing to more than 200 in 2018. “We do our best to get the best quality furniture and just the little extra accent pieces and the household items so that when the family moves in they don’t have to worry about anything else,” she elaborated of the service they provide. “A lot of these families don’t have anything, they don’t have enough of stuff, so we just try to fill in the gaps and really make the homecoming special.” Christopher Todd Communities’ selection process for the A New Lease on Life program is aided by Vets’ Community Connections. Through the program, veterans have to apply for what Joanna Sweatt of Vets’ Community Connections called a hand-up, not a hand-out. The nonprofit helped define the program, put together an application and essay process, and conduct outreach, Sweatt said. “It’s just been a great relationship and partnership in that we conduct the outreach and then just kind of provide professional advice about the veteran community so that we’re not exploiting them, but we’re doing something that greatly

benefits the community overall and then also showcases something to the community on how easy it is just to give back,” Sweatt explained. “This is a large company, this is a large complex, but to give away a home is very meaningful and will change this man’s life forever.” Sweatt explained that despite focusing on veterans who served after September 11, 2001, and need help transitioning back to society, it is not exclusionary. They do, however, want veterans to pay the good deed forward. “The essay is specific to kind of their story,” Sweatt added. “We want to know who you were, what led you to the military, kind of what that foundation did for you, where you are at now in your life, and how you hope that this program will enhance that and allow you to leverage your own community give-back. So, we really looked for veterans that are in action somewhere in their life or have some major goals, and with Miles, his is pretty incredible.” Morell, who works at Luke Air Force Base’s Military and Veteran Success Center, plans to assist veterans in other ways as he opens his own business, a fitness center that will employ and serve veterans. “I wanted to open my own fitness center, but I also wanted to help other veterans getting out that do have a passion for fitness,” he explained. “They need somewhere to go to help them transition, help them with money, things like that. So that’s where my business would come into play, is to help them transition, maybe get them into training in schools, certifications that they need to be trainers, or anything like that.” For more information on the program, visit christophertoddproperties.com.

In nine days, he raised more than $11,000. “(He’s) the type of guy you want in your program, the type of guy who makes his team even better off the field as he does on it. He loved people and he loved life. Whether you knew him your whole life or were only blessed with a few minutes, Breckyn made an impact on you.” The son of Kevin Montaño and Daniette Tiffany Samaniego, Montaño was a sports management major, and a pitcher and outfielder for the USF team. USF baseball head coach Grant Hieb echoed Pruitt’s sentiment in a press release. “Breckyn was the kind of student-athlete every coach wants in their program,” Hieb said. “He was not only a great ball player, but also a great teammate. He had a great energy to him and guys loved being around him. Breckyn was easy to get along with and was a perfect fit here. He will be greatly missed by all of his teammates as well as the entire USF family. “We send our most sincere condolences and prayers to Breckyn’s family. We are heartbroken, and our team is distraught about the loss of Breckyn. He will forever be a member of our baseball family.” As an athlete, Montaño was named an All-Region Pitcher for three years, a USA Baseball AllStar for two years, a member of the Perfect Game All-Academic Team, and a 2018 Rawling/Perfect Game Pre-Season Honorable Mention All-American Pitcher. Montaño earned many accolades for his accomplishments off the diamond. At Verrado, he was the student government class president from 2015 to 2017, a Kids at Hope Student of the Year, and a member of the National Honor Society as well as the National Society of High School Scholars. He volunteered at St. Mary’s Food Bank and Miracle League of Arizona. To donate to the Montaño family, visit https:// www.gofundme.com/breckyn-montano.

Tolleson City Council honors retired constable By Octavio Serrano

The city of Tolleson honored recently retired constable Alfredo Gamez with a proclamation for his 20 years of service. “The city of Tolleson expresses its gratitude for an exemplary public service,” Mayor Anna Tovar said. As a constable, the Tolleson resident was responsible for serving documents of the court, such as a subpoena, in person. Being a constable is a dangerous job, he said, because he didn’t know what type of person would answer the door. “We are dealing with people who are hanging by a thread,” Gamez added. “We see a lot of sadness and terrible things in our job.” Gamez said he loves all people,

and it was this love that compelled him to treat the people he would encounter with respect and without judgment. When Gamez encountered a delicate situation, he said he always offered his sympathy and generosity. “We’ll do whatever it takes to make your life complete or happy in that moment,” Gamez said. He enjoyed the time he spent working with law enforcement. When asked what he considered a special aspect of his job, Gamez said, “The camaraderie you can have with law enforcement personnel.” Maricopa County judge Joe Guzman has known Gamez for 30 years and was impressed with his attitude. “We had a very positive, healthy and

respectful working relationship,” Guzman said. The constable’s role requires tenacity, respect and a calm demeanor to de-escalate hostile situations. Guzman called him “a model constable.” Gamez served on the Tolleson Elementary School District Governing Board, where he inﬂuenced his community. When addressing Gamez, Vice Mayor Juan Rodriguez said, “The person I would like to model myself as, you are one of the ﬁrst ones who come to mind.” As a retiree, Gamez said, “I’ll be a teenager again, but more organized.” He wants to resume studying German and other languages and learn how to play the harmonica and the guitar. Ga-

mez even wants to buy a karaoke machine. “The neighbors are going to complain about the noise,” Gamez said with a laugh. Gamez has been a part of his community his whole life. Beyond his job as a constable, Gamez said he wants to keep assisting and contributing to the community. “This is not the same town I grew up in, and it is different because of what has been done, in terms of progressiveness and helping people,” Gamez said. As a constable, Gamez set the standards of a respectable and honorable career, Guzman said. “Alfredo leaves a legacy with the court.”

Goodyear council selects Maricopa Ambulance as service partner By West Valley View staff

The Goodyear City Council unanimously voted to select Maricopa Ambulance as its ambulance service partner during its regularly scheduled meeting on December 17 following a competitive bid process. Maricopa ambulances will begin responding to 911 calls in February, pending final contract approval from the Arizona Department of Health Services. “Maricopa Ambulance will bring a talented local leadership team and new ambulances to the city of Goodyear,” Goodyear Fire Chief Paul Luizzi said. “Most importantly, they have demonstrated a spirit of teamwork with the fire department and all community partners dedicated to protecting the health and safety of the community.” The council approved a four-year contract with Maricopa Ambulance with the option for three additional one-year renewals. During this contract term, the city of Goodyear Fire Department plans to continue its efforts to obtain a certificate of necessity (CON) to operate ambulance services

through the fire department. During this transition, Maricopa Ambulance will work with the fire department to adjust its resources in the community once the fire department is operating ambulances under its own CON. “We believe Maricopa Ambulance’s collaborative community approach makes us the best choice for communities seeking a true partner that will work with them to create a comprehensive EMS solution,” Maricopa Ambulance Regional President Alan Smith said. “We appreciate the trust that the Goodyear Fire Department and the Goodyear City Council have placed in us to protect their community. We look forward to bringing our advanced vehicles and technology and a customer-service focus to the people of Goodyear.” Maricopa Ambulance will staff four advanced life support ambulances each with one paramedic and one EMT to respond to all 911 calls within the city of Goodyear. Maricopa Ambulance’s new American-made Ford ambulances will feature national-award-winning safety systems, including lane departure/col-

Goodyear EMS Director Adam Stockton has more than a decade of experience in EMS in the Valley, including instrumental leadership in the startup of the Scottsdale 911 system with Maricopa

Ambulance in February 2018. Stockton will manage day-to-day operations of the Goodyear EMS system with assistance from paramedic supervisors. Maricopa Ambulance operates more than 30 ambulances in the Valley and will be adding additional units in the coming months to serve new hospital and 911 contracts, including the Goodyear community.

If you’re wondering where Arizona is putting all of its new residents, look to the far suburbs. New figures released by the state’s Office of Economic Opportunity find the biggest bumps in population were in places like Queen Creek, Buckeye, Florence and Sahuarita. But there may be less to some of those numbers than it seems. Take Queen Creek. On paper, the town that covers portions of two counties grew by more than 9,000 residents between July 1, 2017, and a year later. That’s enough to compute out to an astounding 22.5 percent year-over-year growth. But here’s the thing. Jim Chang, the state demographer, points out that virtually all of the growth on the Pinal County side came from the community annexing already existing development. If you subtract out those instantly acquired 5,277 residents, you’re actually back in the 9.4 percent range; still the highest in the state but not quite as eye popping. That’s also part of the reason for the 5.3 percent annual growth rate logged by Sahuarita. Nearly half of the 1,526 new residents were already living where they are now. It’s just that now they’re within the town instead of the unincorporated area of Pima County. Even Tucson took advantage of the idea of annexing existing developments, Chang said, picking up 3,960 instant Tucsonans along with another 1,911 due to natural growth. Those annexations showed up on the other side of the ledger, Chang noted, with the population of unincorporated area of Pima County shrinking by 1,810 despite new developments. The numbers and the growth rates are more than just bragging rights. Population figures are used to divide up some forms of state aid. And while that is computed using the official decennial Census figures, these annual estimates by the state provide some indication of where the growth is and who will be winners and losers. Aside from fiscal power, political power comes with new residents. Arizona is divided into 30 legislative districts, each of which is supposed to have roughly equal population. If some areas of the state grow faster than others, the lines have to be redrawn. And areas that don’t keep pace with the average will find that they have to share

their state senator and two representatives with an ever-larger geographic area. At the current pace, look for more lawmakers after the 2021 redistricting from Maricopa and Pinal counties, meaning fewer from elsewhere. Those population figures also are used to determine congressional districts. But how those lines are drawn will be dependent on how Arizona’s population growth overall compares with the rest of the nation as membership in the U.S. House of Representatives is fixed at 435. The state picked up a ninth congressional seat after the 2010 Census. It likely will get one more after the end of the decade, and possibly two. So where are people settling? Aside from Queen Creek, Buckeye recorded the second-highest percentage growth. It has annexed large swaths of vacant land that are suitable for development. As those working in the Phoenix area look farther out for affordable housing, that is boosting some other communities. Florence grew 6.3 percent year-overyear. But Chang said at least some of this is due to updated figures they have on the number of people who are behind bars there in prisons, people that are within the town and counted as residents. The issue of what might be called “involuntary” residents also affected Sierra Vista, where the population grew 3.5 percent in a single year. But Chang said most of that is due to the number of people housed on Fort Huachuca, which the city annexed back in 1971. By way of background, that annexation did not come without controversy for the same reason cities care about growth: money. The city of Douglas filed suit, challenging the legality of the move, at least in part because of its contention that if Sierra Vista instantly got more residents – residents they did not have to provide services for – it would mean less money for Douglas and other communities. The state Court of Appeals dismissed the lawsuit, saying Douglas lacked legal standing even if overturning the annexation would result in “a few more tax dollars.” There are a few aberrations in the new data. On paper, the town of Clifton lost 307 people and Greenlee County as a whole shrank by 455. But Chang said there was a change in methodology in doing the estimates, as prior efforts failed to adequately take into account the rapid growth since 2010 following the reopening of the Freeport McMoRan mine. He said there was no actual yearover-year decline in population.

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS

SMITH’S OPINION — Las Vegas Sun

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

That’s ridiculous Editor: Today is Christmas Eve and, while I’m enjoying the festiveness of the season, I am observing an environment where distress and anxiety have overtaken peace and happiness. While we control our respective dispositions, I can’t help but think that as a nation, we are a rudderless ship being steered in a slipshod and slapdash manner by a lunatic-fringe and dimwitted cretin. I have encountered an unusual number of friends and strangers in distress and hopelessness lately and I have tried to help but I know it’s not enough. As of now the government is partially shut down because a feckless and clueless leader wants an immoral and unneeded border wall. The stock market is off by 25 percent this December. And the bottom line is that this is happening simply because some unbelievably doltish and corrupt lawmakers think it’s more important to satiate this cretin’s fragile ego than to do right for the American people. They are stupid sycophants who need to be punished for their hubris. This is unacceptable! While I have nothing but enmity and contempt for Trump, I was against impeachment up until this past week. We cannot afford to continue with this macabre display of appalling and astonishing display of incompetence and corruption. Trump is taking us down with him! We must not let that happen. Pence is one of his primary enablers. It’s time to impeach and remove Trump and Pence. I have had issues with Nancy Pelosi, but she is our only hope right now for stabilizing a nation in chaos. And newly elected Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is spot on when she says lawmakers should also not be paid during this shutdown. Trump and Pence should not be paid either. The circumstances are exigent. Happy New Year – hopefully! David Compton Litchfield Park

Moving visit to Hawaii Editor: Recently my wife and I celebrated a milestone wedding anniversary in Hawaii and we had a great time. One of the highlights for me was our visit to Pearl Harbor, a very reverent and awe-inspir-

ing moment I’ll not soon forget. The sight of the USS Arizona with its turret visible above water marks the beginning of WWII for America on December 7, 1941, and the tour of the battleship USS Missouri and its history as the location of the Japanese surrender that ended the war for the world in Tokyo Bay on September 2, 1945. This singular visit remains a moving experience for me as I ponder on the grit, faith, determination, sacrifices, hopes, fears, national patriotism and pride of our service men and women. They braved the jungles of Guadalcanal, the atolls of Alaska, winter in Bastogne, the Kasserine Pass and the beaches of Normandy. America lost 400,000 soldiers in this great struggle with countless more wounded. My heart is full of gratitude for the courage and fortitude of America’s soldiers who fought this horrific war so future generations wouldn’t have to. God bless our veterans and their families, we love you. And yet today instead of being a unified and grateful nation for our preserved freedoms, we find ourselves in an ideological civil war fueled by those who seek our ruin and overthrow from within. We see anti-American sentiment shamefully and unapologetically flowing from our universities, sporting events, etc., and the Constitution – that sacred and divinely inspired document – is on the verge of being ripped to shreds in our universities, the press, and in Washington, D.C., which begs the question: What was the point of D-Day, Iwo Jima, Bataan, the rationing, recycling and war bonds efforts here in the home front to overcome the evils of hate, barbarism and slavery, if we as a people are now going to stand by and watch our great nation succumb to seething hatred and self-loathing? Is this the Spirit of America we wish to bequeath to our posterity? Is this what the Greatest Generation sacrificed so much for? I pray fervently that it is not. America is, and should ever be the beacon of goodness to the world. It will be if we decide it will be, and we act accordingly. My country ‘tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Jason Russell Goodyear

Emotional impact Editor: As human beings, a big part of us is

emotions. We experience them every day. We have psychological and physiological changes that affect our emotional status. Some of these are quite conscious experiences – the loss of a pet (sadness), the gaining of a long-wanted item (happiness, joy). However, there are also environmental impacts that affect us sublimely – in other words, things that our conscious mind doesn’t register but our subconscious does – and these affect our emotional status without our knowing it. Gosh, I feel mad, upset, irritable, etc., today and I don’t know why. You might hear something on the news that you are not consciously listening to while you are reading a newspaper, book, etc. With this in mind, look at how the German people were misled by Hitler. Look at how Nixon upset the people with gas shortages, price hikes, 55 mile-per-hour speed limits, etc. American people really felt a common emotional insecurity. Bad news for us all – it put most people in a very unhappy emotional status. Now with this in mind, look at how President Trump has upset not only us who put our faith in a president, but has upset the White House people. It doesn’t matter if you are Democrat or Republican – we expect the president to do the right thing for and by the people. Now he is all for a wall to keep out the unwanted. Gee, didn’t we tear down a wall in Germany, Iron Curtain with Russia, and now we’re facing another wall with one of our oldest neighbors? This wall will not stop a terrorist attack, but it will affect our feelings toward a people that are for the most part a part of our culture. I am considered white when I fill out paperwork, but I

was raised in a Hispanic community. I found the people to be much more family orientated, hardworking, honest and loving than most American citizens. Sure, there are a few bad eggs in every group. These people do work that most of us wouldn’t do anyway. These people are not a threat to our national security or our economy. The wall is a farce, a diversion. I see prejudices intensified, division of our population, animosities between our own people – Democrats and Republicans, ethnic groups, etc. Divided we fall, united we stand. In summary, we are not getting very much emotional security from our president with his outrageous actions, ideas, etc. No wonder people are more irritated today. Thanks, president. Dennis Wood Goodyear

Maricopa County trail system Editor: I have read several articles extolling completion of parts of the Maricopa County trail system. I applaud this effort and realize it is a multiyear project. I applaud the Maricopa County Trails Commission for its vision and follow-through. It would be helpful for people to know where they can get details of the completed Phase I trail as well as future trails. Here is the website: maricopacountyparks.net/thingsto-do/activity/maps.

Surprising year

Lesko: My ﬁrst year in Congress

Editor:

By Rep. Debbie Lesko

What a year for the POTUS. He continues to challenge our First Amendment rights of free speech and a free and vocal press. Wait a minute: Doesn’t Putin do the same thing, only worse? He continues to demean and speak ill of anyone who doesn’t tow his line of thinking. Wait a minute: Doesn’t Putin do the same thing, and of course much worse? He continues to discount the value of America’s relationships with our allies, including diminishing the value and importance of NATO. Wait a minute: Doesn’t Putin want NATO’s strength diminished? He chooses to pull U.S. troops out of Syria, something clearly illogical and not supported by our military and diplomatic professionals. Wait a minute: Doesn’t Putin want us out of the Middle East, thereby creating a vacuum he can fill, increasing Russia’s sway over the region? Gee, what a year of the POTUS making America Great Again. Why does the person occupying the office of POTUS sound, think and behave similar to Putin? As the POTUS would say, “Sad. So sad.” Yes, it is very sad, indeed. Don Rerick Litchfield Park

It is hard to believe that this time last year I was contemplating if I should run for Congress. After prayerful consideration with my family, I decided to throw my hat in the ring and run. After winning a special primary and general election earlier this year, I was sworn into Congress on May 7, 2018. Since then, I’ve been fighting on behalf of my constituents every day to grow our economy, secure our borders, protect citizens, help veterans and senior citizens, and provide excellent constituent service for Arizonans. My first year in Congress has really only been eight months, but I hit the ground running on day one and never stopped. Since I was sworn in, I have one bill getting ready to be signed into law, sponsored two other bills, co-sponsored 96 bills, signed over 40 letters to various federal agencies and government officials to help our nation and Arizona, and joined 18 different caucuses. My office has given 87 U.S. Capitol tours to families from our district and handled over 38,000 phone calls, letters and emails from constituents. What I’m most proud of is that my office has been able to assist hundreds of constituents who needed help with veterans’ issues, Social Security, Medicare, passports and more. My national and border security bill, H.R. 6400, passed in the House and Senate and is headed to President Trump’s desk to be signed into law. This legislation will help secure our border and nation by protecting our air, land and sea ports of entry from illegal activity. I also

Business Briefcase

By Connor Dziawura

We did it, readers. We’ve made it into the New Year. I hope you all had fun in December, regardless of which holiday you celebrate, and you spent time with plenty of friends and family to round out 2018. From personal goals and resolutions to new businesses and growth across the West Valley and even the state, hopefully you all have big things in store for the coming 12 months. Thank you for sticking with the West Valley View, but also, thanks for coming back to check on the Briefcase. Let’s start of the last year of the decade on the right foot by getting back into it. Perhaps a good jumping off point would be a couple big developments in Goodyear as well as some other events and little things. Here’s the news! First, 2019 is a big year, so we need to start with a big project. I’m sure you all remember Ball Corporation, right? The company, which produces cans, glass jars, etc., started operations at its PV|303 master-planned

business park-based facility this past spring and employs 145 people. But it’s not done, according to the city of Goodyear’s website. Merit Partners is behind the investment of $5.4 million in the construction of an additional 160,000-square-foot warehouse east of Ball and along the 303, between Sub-Zero and Dick’s Sporting Goods. According to the city, the warehouse is intended to house nearly 130 million cans ahead of shipping and deliveries. Angela Woods, marketing coordinator for the city’s economic development department, said the facility, 4445 N. 169th Avenue, was granted a temporary certificate of occupancy on December 19. In a different realm of construction, NexMetro Communities is hard at work on Avilla Centerra Crossings, its second for-lease new home community in Goodyear, according to the city’s website. The community’s leasing office is open and its first round of move-ins happened in December. According to Leasing Manager Autumn

Kalin, the community is planned to be five phases, the next of which she said will be ready for move-ins in February. Each phase consists of around 25 to 30 homes with 184 planned overall. There are one-, two- and three-bedroom detached homes as well as plenty of inhome and neighborhood amenities, plus a bustling surrounding community. For more information, visit avillacenterracrossings.com. Avilla Centerra Crossings is at 15390 W. Centerra Drive. Next, Waste Management has a new compressed natural gas fueling station in Goodyear, and the company will soon celebrate with the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce. Join the grand opening, ribbon-cutting ceremony at the White Tank Transfer Station, 18605 W. McDowell Road, at 10 a.m. Wednesday, January 16. According to the chamber’s listing, the fueling station will service Waste Management’s new fleet of Goodyear-serving trucks, which “emit nearly zero particulate emissions, cut greenhouse gas emis-

sions by more than 20 percent, and are quieter than diesel trucks.” For more information on the White Tank Transfer Station, visit wmsolutions.com/locations/details/id/608. Keeping with the chamber, Pure Patio will host a Business After Hours event from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, January 10. Pure Patio is located at 116 E. Western Avenue, Goodyear. So get your business cards on deck and stop by to mingle with your fellow businessmen and -women. For more information on either of these chamber-involved events, contact the chamber at 623-932-2260 or info@southwestvalleychamber.org. Over in Avondale, the Boots to Business Reboot two-step entrepreneurship training program for veterans and their spouses is coming to the Center for Teaching and Learning at Estrella Mountain Community College, 3000 N. Dysart Road from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, January

Hoff didn’t expect Conference Player of the Year By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

Nicole Hoff, libero for the state champion Millennium High School volleyball team, recently won the AIA 5A Conference Player of the Year and, she said, it came as a total surprise. “I did not expect that,” said Hoff, who is also up for a Gatorade Player of the Year award in volleyball. “There are so many other great players in this conference. When I saw my name on it, I was thrilled. All my hard work paid off, especially all the extra hours I put into it.” But Hoff isn’t one to brag about her achievements. She credits the entire team for coming together to win the state. “All the team’s hard work paid off,” she said. “We ﬁnally put our name out there. Coming into the year, we knew we had a really good team and we could do something special.” She’s parlaying her talents into a college career at Long Beach State University. She’ll play volleyball and study sports journalism beginning this fall. “I’m so excited,” she said. “Honestly, I visited other schools, but when I walked into the Long Beach campus,

A senior at Millennium High School, Nicole Hoff is going to play volleyball and study sports journalism at Long Beach State University. (West Valley View photo by Pablo Robles)

I fell in love. I thought, ‘I want to play the next four years here.’ I didn’t really look anywhere else.” Hoff comes from an athletic family,

as her siblings play football and baseball. She chose volleyball because she felt it was the best ﬁt. “I just love the competitiveness and

the team sport of it,” she said. “My teammates helped motivate me. I want to do my part, but they hold me accountable. With volleyball, I always want to go at it 100 percent. I love having that drive to go out there and perform my best.” The Millennium volleyball team is special, as Hoff has competed with some of the girls, like Bailey Schlosser and Rylee Johnson, since she was 8. “We all have played together since we were younger,” she said. “They would say, ‘Watch out for Millennium.’ We won one tournament, but we still worked to get better. We had a target on our back that caused us to work harder to get the state championship.” Her mom, Samantha Hoff, said her daughter earned her spot at the top, and she’ll make a ﬁne sports journalist. “She follows all sports. She watches everything,” she said. “She’s always been into sports with her dad. Her dad’s a big sports guy. He watches football, baseball and basketball. We put her in the position, but we let her work her way through it.”

Millennium volleyball star commits to The Citadel By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

Millennium High School senior Makaya Middleton has pledged to follow in her father’s footsteps by pursuing a career in the Air Force. She will do so by attending The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina, on a volleyball scholarship so she can study criminal justice. She would like to be a lawyer. “It was a relatively easy decision,” said Makaya, who lives in Litchfield Park. “I already had my mind set on the military. I just love the style of it and the opportunity it provides for you. “In terms of the scholarship, I didn’t want my dad to pay for it because he paid for a lot, with club volleyball and all the extra traveling. I figured I would do my dad a solid and get free college.” Located in Charleston, South Carolina, The Citadel is one of six U.S. senior military colleges. It has 18 academic departments divided into five schools offering 29 majors and 38 minors.

offered through eight undergraduate and 24 graduate programs. All branches of the U.S. military are represented on The Citadel campus in ROTC detachments. Middleton’s father, Timothy, said he is extremely proud of her. He served in the Air Force for four years, working as an electrician on F16s at Luke Air Force Base before his daughter was born. “My experience with the Air Force is it was good for me,” said Timothy, who works in the biotech industry. “It forces you to grow up into an adult. That was exactly what I needed. “As far as my daughter, I could not be more proud. She’s extremely driven and mentally tough. She knows where she’s going. It’s impressive because I wasn’t where she was at at her age.” For two seasons, Makaya played on the Millennium girls volleyball team that was ranked fourth in the nation. The Tigers won the state championship in November against Sunnyslope. For her, the most important part of her high school athletic career was forging the positive relationship with her teammates.

“The experience of finally being on the varsity team and achieving the goals we set for ourselves senior year was gratifying, also,” she said. “I think we found success because we’re all mentally focused and emotionally focused on one goal.

PebbleCreek expands golf course to meet member demand By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

Robson Resort Community’s PebbleCreek completed seven new holes and renovations of the Tuscany Falls Golf Course. “The golf course did an expansion from 27 holes to 36 holes,” said Jason Whitehill, PebbleCreek’s golf director. “We now have two 18-hole championship-rated golf courses – the east and west courses under the Tuscany Falls umbrella.” Designed by noted golf course architects Dick Bailey and Brad Bartel, Tuscany Falls golf course offers play with dramatic mounding, rolling fairways and strategically placed bunkers. With the addition of the seven golf holes, Tuscany Falls will showcase two 18hole championship golf courses. PebbleCreek is also home to the Eagle’s Nest Country Club, which features an 18-hole championship course with seven lakes and spectacular views of the nearby White Tank Mountains. One of the unique characteristics of the new golf holes will be the third hole, which is a par three with a 3-acre lake. “This is our signature hole. The

PebbleCreek’s Tuscany Falls golf course features a 3-acre lake on the third hole. For the renovations, the staff planted more than 400 trees, including 250 palm trees. (Photo courtesy Evolve Marketing and Public Relations)

views of the White Tank Mountains are breathtaking,” Whitehill said. More than 250 palm trees were added coursewide to create more of a resort look and feel. Another new feature at Tuscany Falls is the inclusion of the yellow tees within the course. Following this path within Tuscany West caters to golfers that are developing their practice and means a shorter game. The course is beginner friendly and aligns well with the strategic player development plan to help grow the game of

golf at Tuscany Falls. “It’s super exciting,” he said. “The members are super happy. They love the additional nine holes. It has real unique characteristics that the members like. “It’s home to one of our biggest lakes on property. There’s a 3-acre lake on the third hole. We planted over 400 trees and 250 of those are palm trees. There’s a lot of nice vegetation.” The tee box caters to those who play the executive course. It’s a shorter course within a course, he said.

“It caters to beginner golfers,” said Whitehill, who worked at Sun City Grand for 18 years before coming to PebbleCreek four years ago. “It’s been popular with the players just starting, or those who don’t like to play the long golf course.” The upgrades appeal to women as well, said Nancy Dusenbery with the Ladies Club. Crews also installed special sand trap liners, which helps them drain better. Golfers can walk in and out of them easier as well. “We’re very excited to have a third course,” Dusenbery said. “We have different courses for our Tuesday play. The lake is very nice. It adds athletics to the course. It’s a women-friendly course, also, because of the way the tee boxes are set up. It fits in with our play.” PebbleCreek has approximately 5,000 homes and is growing. Whitehill has seen the golf club grow from 840 members in 2015 to 1,240 in 2018. More information is available at Robson.com. “We’re really growing the game here at PebbleCreek,” Whitehill said. “Robson built the golf course for the community.”

Team gives H.O.P.E. to CTCA cancer patients By Octavio Serrano

For Billie Barnes, being a cancer patient is lonely. “A lot of times you feel isolated and people don’t understand the pain and why you always want to keep busy,” Barnes said, holding back tears. But since January, Barnes has relied on the Cancer Treatment Centers of America’s H.O.P.E. Team in Goodyear to bring her help, optimism, peace and encouragement. “Your body can heal better if you’re in a positive atmosphere,” Barnes said. Founded in 2009, The H.O.P.E. Team comforts cancer patients by distracting

them from their illnesses. Larry Atkinson, the H.O.P.E. Team’s growth and volunteer project manager, said one in 10 people are affected by cancer. He and his team are here to help. “The H.O.P.E. Team’s big thing is taking care of the patient by doing what we can do to make that patient feel better,” Atkinson said. Volunteers from the H.O.P.E. Team assist the patients daily by providing anything they may need, Atkinson said. The tasks could be as simple as taking their food order or getting them a new pillow. The H.O.P.E. Team is funded through donations and fundraisers, like a February golf tournament that earlier this year

raised $49,000; the Shoot for H.O.P.E. archery and bow-hunting event that collected $30,000; and a tennis tournament. The H.O.P.E. Team does not focus on curing patients, which makes it unique. Instead it elevates patients’ moods and attempts to replace cancer patients’ unpleasant experience with happy memories. It’s a job Atkinson calls “priceless.” The organization is always looking for volunteers. For more information, call Atkinson at 623-207-3545 or email him at larry.atkinson@ctca-hope.com. Goodyear Deputy Police Chief Santiago Rodriguez joined the H.O.P.E.

Waddell author pens field guide to the White Tank Mountains By Sherry Jackson

If you’ve ever gone hiking in the White Tank Mountains and passed by a plant, tree or animal and wondered exactly what it was – there’s now a book for that. Waddell historian and author Karen Krause, a member of the White Tank Mountain Conservancy since it began in 2015, recently released the White Tank Mountains Field Guide. The book was released in late November and includes 120 color photos and 100 pages of short descriptions of ﬂora and fauna, reptiles and amphibians, cacti and trees and shrubs that visitors may encounter in the regional parks. It also has a section on desert safety. “The White Tank Mountains are somewhat untouched at this point,” Krause said. “A lot of people are just now starting to discover them. The West Valley, despite being settled since the 1920s, is just starting to get a lot of growth.” Krause will sign and sell copies of the book from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, January 12, outside of the White Tank Library entrance, 20304 W.

HOPE...continued from page 18 Team board earlier this year to help ﬁnd creative ways to make their patients happy and engaged. Patients and the team go to dinner every two weeks, and occasionally to watch hockey or football games. Trips to Sedona are planned when funding allows for it. Rodriguez said it is important “to have them be able to go out and get away from the hospital setting for just a few hours to put a smile on their faces.” Seven-year CTCA patient Ronice Goforth called the volunteers “amazing.” “They sit with me, they cry with me, they pray with me, and they laugh with me,” Goforth said. She was once greeted by a dog as she awoke from surgery. The animal was brought by a volunteer as part of the H.O.P.E. Team’s Therapy Paws program. “They have helped me forget about all the treatments that I am going through,” Goforth said. Barnes had a similar experience. “I just felt horrible in the wheelchair,” Barnes recalled about a postop period. Atkinson visited Barnes and gave her a stuffed rabbit. “It felt so good to have something to hold,” Barnes said.

Krause, an Arizona native who has lived in the far West Valley for 25 years, said she is constantly amazed by the beauty of the Sonoran Desert. “The White Tank Mountains have been in my backyard for a couple of decades now. We have an immense amount of diversity that we’d like to keep intact,” Krause said. “Protecting that is part of keeping the mountain alive.” Krause, who conducts history presentations through the White Tank Conservancy, also included history of the White Tank Mountains in the ﬁeld guide. “The area served as a reliable water stop and used to be a very important place – a watering hole that now no longer exists,” she said. “When you look back at the ﬁrst territorial map for the area, there are only two places named – Fort McDowell and the White Tank Mountains.” She had already been working on a book about the history of the White Tank Mountains for a few years. She put that on the back burner as she felt the Field Guide was something the

Each numbered row contains two clues and two answers. The two answers differ from each other by only one letter, which has already been inserted. For example, if you exchange the A from MASTER for an I, you get MISTER. Do not change the order of the letters.

She is the daughter of Mr. and Ms. Ruben Luna of Litchfield Park and a 2017 Westview High School graduate. Established in 2013, the Bates Col-

lege Community Liaison Program is supported by the Office of Campus Life and the Harward Center for Community Partnerships. The Harward Center for Community Partnerships at Bates is recognized as a national leader in community engagement. Each year, Bates students perform more than 80,000 hours of volunteer and community service work in the surrounding community. “Through this program, students develop as leaders as they build strong partnerships across their community and see the meaningful results of their work,” said Darby Ray, director of the Harward Center. “These experiences plant the seeds of lifelong civic responsibility.” Andrew Maxson of Tolleson has been named to the dean’s list at Graceland University in Lamoni, Iowa, for the 2018 fall term. Graceland University students with a GPA between 3.25 and 3.64 are named to the dean’s list. Graceland University was founded in 1895 and is sponsored by Community of Christ.

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

More than a dozen students from Western Maricopa Education Center’s general construction technology class took a field trip to the Estrella community for a hard-hat tour of an active construction site. The site under construction is a large, new development inside the Estrella master-planned community in Goodyear and the students took a tour of what will be the new welcome center/ café space. West-MEC is a public school district that provides career training programs to prepare students to enter the workforce. This type of hands-on experience reinforces what they are learning in the classroom. Students are interested in careers ranging from masonry, general construction, project management and event architecture. They were able to ask questions, review blueprints and walk the construction site with a team of ex-

perts outlining construction methods, intentional design elements and the development process. Estrella coordinated and offered the field trip to the students for free. Among those on the tour were Jeff Lupien, president of True North Builders, the general contractor and project manager; Kit Gallup, Swaback, one of the project architects; and representatives from Estrella’s developer, Newland Communities.

PUBLIC NOTICE On November 20, 2018, the board of directors of Paloma Irrigation and Drainage District, Maricopa County, Arizona, duly adopted the following amendments to said District's Bylaws. Article III, Section 2 is amended to read as follows: Section 2. Number and Qualifications. The number of directors shall be seven, with two representing each of the three divisions of the District and one director at large. Each director must be a qualified elector of the District. To be a qualified elector a person must meet the following qualifications: be 18 years of age or older; own agricultural land within the District for at least 90 days prior to the District election or assuming the office by appointment, or be the representative of such an owner; and be a current registered voter of the District or a representative of such a voter. An officer or other designated agent of a corporation, including without limitation a municipal corporation, owning agricultural land in the District, which officer or agent is designated and authorized by resolution of the governing body of the corporation, may register and cast the vote of such corporation and may be a qualified director. A general partner of a partnership in which title to agricultural land within the District is vested as holder of title or evidence of title, who is designated and authorized in writing by all of the general partners of such partnership, may register and cast the vote of such partnership and may be a qualified director. The trustee of a trust, or one trustee who is designated and authorized in writing by all of the trustees of a trust in which there is more than one trustee, in whose name title to agricultural land within the District is vested as a holder of title or evidence of title, may register and cast the vote of the trust and may be a qualified director. A managing member or other designated agent of a limited liability company in which title to agricultural land within the District is vested as holder of title or evidence of title, who is designated and authorized in writing by all of the members of such company or by the operating agreement of such company, may register and cast the vote of such company and may be a qualified director. In the above cases with respect to corporations, partnerships, trusts, and limited liability companies, the person so authorized to cast the vote of the corporation, partnership or trust shall not be required to be a resident of Maricopa County or the State of Arizona in order to be a qualified elector and director. In the case of division elections for the Director to represent each division, a person, corporation, partnership, trust or limited liability company must own agricultural land in the division in order to be a qualified elector in such division election. With respect to voting or holding of director seats, each corporation, partnership, trust, limited liability company, joint tenancy, tenancy-in-common or other such legal entity or joint ownership arrangement shall be considered as, and entitled to the same rights, but only such rights as, one individual person. An individual person or entity owning agricultural land in more than one division shall be entitled to vote in the election for each division in which agricultural land is so owned, but shall not hold Director's seats for more than one division. An individual or entity owning agricultural land in the District shall be entitled to vote in the election for each division in which agricultural land is so owned and for the directors at large, but shall not hold more than one Director's seat. Article III, Section 5, is amended to read as follows: Section 5. Election Register. At least five days before holding a regular or special election the District Secretary shall make up an election register. The election register shall denote the names of the holders of lands within the District, the number of acres held by each and the number of votes which they are entitled to cast. The lists shall be arranged by Division, with the name of the holder and the number of votes he is entitled to cast as shown by the records of the county recorder as of the twentieth day before the time fixed for holding the election. No person shall be allowed to vote unless his name appears as a holder upon such public records, nor shall he cast more votes than the number of votes to which he is entitled as shown by the District election register. It shall be the duty of the Secretary to ascertain and determine whether persons possess or will possess the necessary qualifications of a qualified elector of the District and Division at the next ensuing election, and the number of votes to which each qualified elector is entitled by Division and at large, as applicable. No person shall be permitted to vote unless the public records show that such person possesses the qualifications of a qualified elector or will possess such qualifications at the next ensuing election. The Secretary shall submit a copy of the election register to the Board. The Board may examine the election register. Should the Board find that any person or persons appearing upon the election register will not possess the qualifications of a qualified elector at the next ensuing District election, or that the number of acres owned or number of votes of any such person or persons as designated upon the election register are incorrect, the Board shall cause the District Secretary to correct the election register and shall record the reason for correction in the minutes of the Board. The final election register shall constitute the official roster of the qualified electors of the District and the number of votes to which each qualified elector is entitled for the next ensuing election by Division and at large, as applicable.
