As we live longer, what will happen to quality of life? By Alyssa Williams

Every time Catherine Baimonte visited her mother at an assisted living facility in Colorado, her mother’s health worsened. Baimonte, a retired Avondale teacher, remembers one of those visits. Her mother forgot how to shower. Do you need help? Baimonte asked. She stepped in and out of the shower to help. “Finally, we got out, dried off and I let her dress herself,” Baimonte said. Her mother, Kathleen Baimonte, made it halfway through, then stopped. She sat there. What’s wrong, mother? I don’t know what I’m doing, she answered. Baimonte helped her finish dressing. Another sister who dropped by later asked if their mother had showered. She said no. Three months after Kathleen turned 99, after struggling with her memory those last few years, she died. “When you get that old, I don’t care who you are, you have a mess of problems,” Baimonte said. Health issues are taking the backseat now with various medical advances such as stem cell research, medicines and vaccines and bionic limbs prolonging life, according to a 2013 CNN article. In a 2013 survey by Pew Research Center, those surveyed had mixed opinions on whether an extended life equated to a life of quality. About half of respondents who think

medical advances are good say life extension would be good for society, but about 25 percent of respondents felt advances were bad because they interfere with the natural cycle of life. By 2050, people could live to 120 years old, Pew said. An intensive-care nurse said prolonging life often is a matter of ad-

vanced technology. Hannah Lobato, a registered nurse at Abrazo Hospital West Campus, said she saw at least one new older person among her ICU patients each week. “If we have to put a patient on life sup-

West Valley residents come together to help young man By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski West Valley residents rallied to help a homeless young man find comfort in his own home. The collaborators, which included Litchfield Elementary School teacher Carol Klein and Buckeye Patrol Officer Eddie Cruz, surprised Michael Slusher with household goods, a PlayStation, carolers and other goodies at his Buckeye apartment in late December. Cruz helped

set up the 19-year-old with an apartment. Slusher, who works at a recreation center and attends Estrella Mountain Community College, was touched, but is of few words. His smile said everything. “It was very moving to see a young man who, not so long ago, was living behind a fast-food restaurant,” said Avondale City Councilman Lorenzo Sierra, who stopped by. “The community really stepped up for

him. There were carolers, the Girl Scouts, officer Eddie – a lot of folks came together to give him a safe and warm place to be from here on out. It’s great to see the community come together to see this young man get on his feet and in the right direction.” Cruz told Slusher that he was going to stop by, so he was surprised when the

Rosewood Homes moving into Estrella

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski Rosewood Homes is developing the gated Golf Villas neighborhood in Estrella with 61 homes among 28 acres of land tucked in the surrounding mountain landscape. Rosewood homeowners will see a private road leading to a gated entry with a view of the 10th hole of the Golf Club of Estrella. The development will feature open space spread throughout the community with 59 percent of the site preserved for a mix of passive and active recreational uses. “We always loved Estrella because it’s such a unique and beautiful property tucked into the mountains,” said David Kitnick, president of Rosewood Homes. “It’s close enough to modern conveniences, but far enough away that you feel like you are on vacation at a nice resort.” Kitnick said his staff had their eyes on this 28-acre parcel for more than 20 years because of the mountain views. The design enabled 80 percent of the homes to be along the Estrella golf course. “This property was originally

approved by the city of Goodyear and the master developer to have 86 homes,” he added. “However, Rosewood reduced the number down to 61 homes to maximize mountain and golf course views. We also preserved 59 percent of the property as ‘open space’ with a mix of natural and active recreational uses.” Amenities are aplenty. Golf Villas homeowners can use two residents clubs, each offering a wide variety of features including resort-style swimming pools, exercise studios and a range of activities

and community events. The community also boasts more than 72 acres of lakes for boating and catch-and-release fishing, community access to more than 40 miles of walking, hiking and biking trails, and multiple neighborhood parks with volleyball, basketball, pickleball and tennis courts. Prospective residents will have their choice of four ﬂoor plans in a variety of architectural styles that range in size from approximately 1,886 to 2,891 square feet. Three of the four home

designs will be single-story plans while the fourth is designed as a partial twostory plan with the master suite on the first ﬂoor. Each home at Rosewood’s Golf Villas will include standard features, along with numerous opportunities to personalize each home including optional “disappearing walls of glass” that provide indoor/outdoor living. “Each Rosewood home is designed with generous standard features and abundant ‘no-cost’ opportunities to personalize each home. Our homes are also among the most energy efficient with the typical Rosewood home being 60 percent to 70 percent more energy efficient than most resale homes.” Rosewood also offers a vast array of options and upgrade opportunities that prospective residents can chose from with assistance from an interior designer at the onsite design center. They can choose from different countertops, cabinets and ﬂooring as well as appliances, sinks, faucets, lighting fixtures, fireplace styles, decorative cabinet knobs, paint colors, door styles and door hardware.

He was subsequently arrested and transported to the Avondale detention facility for processing.

Rosewood’s project reﬂects Estrella’s successful year, said Bill Olson, vice president of Newland/Estrella. “Estrella has had a wonderful year,” Olson said. “The net home sales for 2017 are the highest they’ve been in 13 years. We credit that to the wonderful team at Newland and our supporting teams.” Olson chalked up the success to a healthy market and buyers wanting to “seize the opportunity to take advantage of good financing and the ability to pick high-quality, masterplanned community like Estrella. The builders have been enthusiastic. “So it’s a culmination of a muchimproved economy, a much-improved housing market, and consumers who have confidence and jobs. There’s terrific growth and, candidly, based on the studies, some of which we have commissioned, the Maricopa Association of Governments has informed us that over the next 20 to 25 years, 43 percent of all Metro Phoenix growth will be in the West Valley. That’s almost 50 percent. So that bodes very well for the future, not just today.”

Olson added there are 12 homebuilders, including Rosewood who have come on board, and two or three on the cusp of opening models. By the time Rosewood opens, it’ll be 14. Estrella is 22,000 acres, with 5,200 homes in the community now, Olson said. About 14,000 people call Estrella home, and there are three schools. At build out, it’ll have 55,000 homes. “It is a very, very large community,” Olson said. “We have about 2,780 lots in various stages of planning and development right now.” As for Rosewood, Kitnick said each neighborhood is different because the staff strives to create memorable neighborhoods based on the characteristics of each site and the homebuyers’ decisions. “As an example, every Golf Villas home will be on its own legal lot but they are designed as ‘large villas,’ with two or three homes connected by a specially designed ‘common wall’ with each home ranging in size from 1,886 to 2,892 square feet, plus each home includes a traditional oversized two-car attached garage along with a private backyard. Each home lives like a spacious singlefamily home because they range in width from 45-feet wide to 50-feet wide.”

Aging..continued from page 1 port, it most usually equates to a poor quality of life,” Lobato said. “The families are the ones who tend to make the decision to keep them on the machines, and it’s only because they don’t want to be the ones who killed grandma.” Hospital inpatient charges, on average, can exceed $6,200 per day, and costs to maintain someone in an ICU can reach up to $10,000 per day. Skilled nursing facilities are reimbursed at a rate of approximately $622 per day through Medicaid plans, according to America’s Debt Help Organization. Medical technology often acts as a mask, Lobato said. Bedside monitors show a patient’s heartbeat, blood pressure and other measures of a health condition in the moment. Doctors and nurses are striving to keep a patient alive. Lobato said her grandmother, Marilyn Childs, suffers from dementia. Five years before moving in with Lobato’s mother, Michele Kruser, Childs was not taking her prescribed medication. Her health deteriorated. But Childs’ health improved after she moved in with her daughter. “When she first came to live with

me five years ago, she could barely take a few steps with a walker,” Kruser said. “We fixed that with daily activity. Within a year she was able to finally walk without the walker.” Kruser said the transition was an adjustment, but the family worked toward the mother’s health every day. Childs, who has passed all of her recent medical exams, is ready for whatever happens. “I don’t take a lot of things real seriously,” said the 84-year-old Childs. “I make sure to keep a positive outlook on life, but what comes, comes.” Kruser is researching adult day care facilities that will offer games, arts and crafts, conversation and skills, such as cooking, to stimulate her mother’s brain and keep her active. Research has shown physical, social and mental activities help with the longevity of life. Retirement and assisted living centers like La Loma Village in Litchfield Park are going beyond stereotypical activities like bingo and Parcheesi to offer classes on elder law, history and the fine arts. “We try to make sure everyone can maintain the skills they came with, learn new skills and find real meaning

and purpose,” said Kari Curry, life enrichment director at La Loma. “A life without purpose is not a life well lived. Purpose contributes to our longevity.” In a recent class, Marilyn Pyle, an 83-year-old La Loma resident, painted scenery from a photo she took which included trees and mountains. “Art is a great outlet. We have time to come and paint what inspires us, spend time with our friends,” Pyle said. “It’s also a great brain stimulant and at our age, that’s important.”

Catherine Baimonte said her mother lived for nearly a century because of family. Baimonte wrote to her mother every week and called every Sunday. Her sister, Betty, came by daily to take their mother out. “You have to become the stimulator. Start a conversation. Tell stories. Initiate outings,” she said.

Buckeye water tower displays water usage Goodyear vice mayor

named to Women in Municipal Government

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski Buckeye residents can get a look at how much water the average person uses daily, thanks to the Water Use It Wisely Tower on display throughout January at the Coyote Library, 21699 W. Yuma Road. The 16-foot-tall tall pyramid is designed to help people understand their average daily water use indoors and outdoors. Consisting of 120 1-gallon water jugs, the display is a great visualization of a “typical” amount of water used by people each day in the desert. On average, one person uses 120 gallons: • 65 gallons of water outdoors for landscape watering, pools, etc. • 27 gallons for showers, baths and flushing toilets • 21 gallons for using faucets and cleaning (clothes washers, dishwashers, etc.) • 7 gallons for other uses (drinking, etc.) This is the first appearance for the pyramid display in Buckeye, thanks to the Water Resources partnership with Water Use It Wisely. Details on Buckeye’s Water Resources Department can be found at buckeyeaz.gov/ water.

The deaths appear to be accidental; an investigation is ongoing. “The truck was upside down and could not be easily seen from the road,” Laredo-Tarango said. “It would have been very difficult to view at night.” According to reports, the Gila Bend residents went bird hunting and didn’t arrive home.

officer showed up with a crew. Slusher and Cruz are longtime friends. “I knew him from working out on the street,” Cruz said. “I would go into the rec center and see him and his younger brother. I kept in touch with him. “In early October at around 10:30 or 11 at night, I saw him on a bench, sleeping with a basketball under his head. I asked him what was wrong and he said everything was fine. He just wanted fresh air. I didn’t buy his story.” A shy Slusher admitted he was homeless. “When he told me that, it broke my heart,” Cruz said. The officer confided in his friend, Salvador Real, who owns property and a small apartment complex. He told him about Slusher and asked if he would give the teen a chance if he vouched for him. “He was kind enough to say, ‘Yeah, let me meet him,’” Cruz said. “There was no hesitation. He said he knows me, and he gave Michael the keys to the apartment because I vouched for him. He gave him 15 days to get settled. Michael was no longer homeless.” But there was the problem of Slusher furnishing his apartment – with food and other necessities. “Once Michael moved into his apartment, he said, ‘I don’t know how to get my gas turned on, or the lights turned on,’” Cruz recalled. “I helped him with that. I took a day off and took him grocery shopping and got him all situated. He didn’t have anything. He didn’t even have

condiments, like salt and pepper, the basic stuff to make food with.” Klein became involved because she is the teacher of Cruz’s daughter. “She’s definitely an angel and a blessing,” Cruz said. “She knows a lot of people and made a lot of stuff possible. I owe a lot of credit to her.” Sierra agreed. “Carol is a force of nature when it comes to helping folks in the community,” Sierra said. “Like I always say, she’s a star and I’m just in her orbit.”

Hard times Slusher is close to his parents, but due to circumstances beyond his control, he needed to reside elsewhere. He lived in a daily-pay hotel until the owners raised the price. Slusher offered to help out around the complex to help pay his rent, but the owners wouldn’t budge. “He wanted to apply for apartments, but he doesn’t have credit,” Cruz said. “Nobody was going to give him a helping hand.” Sierra said homelessness is nothing new to the West Valley. “The West Valley, in general, is seeing an uptick in homelessness,” Sierra said. “As city officials, we need to start taking a look at what we are going to do to make sure our homeless are helped in any way possible. “Countywide, we need to take a look at the homeless veterans. That’s something a lot of people have put a lot of effort into. Homelessness is one bad break away – a broken car, a missed rent check, a late payment on something. There’s no margin for error for a lot of people. It’s hard to see them when they do end up on the street.”

Cruz said on his beat he sees plenty of homeless people, but many abuse drugs. He knew Slusher attends school full time, so it was odd to see him out that late. “He was out of place,” Cruz said. “That’s why I knew there was something wrong.” Despite his troubles, Slusher has a positive outlook, according to Cruz. “Every time I talk to him, he’s talking about how he wants to help the youth,”

Cruz said. “That’s why he took on the job at the rec center. He’s still staying positive. That’s why, when I saw him, I felt compelled to help him.” Sierra was thrilled to be a part of it. “It was an honor for me to be there,” he said. “I was just really blown away and overwhelmed by the spirit of the community.

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS

DUFFY'S OPINION — brianduffycartoons.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Luke Air Force Base needs support Editor: The recent loss of Congressman Franks in Arizona District 2 will leave a huge hole in the fabric of the district if his replacement is not prepared to work in a strong and dedicated manner toward our military and, particularly, Luke Air Force Base, which plays an enormous role in the area economy. No one has displayed more dedication to the F-35 stationed at Luke than Congressman Franks. In our very uncertain future, the F-35 is vital to our national security, and requires leaders in Congress to persistently monitor the program and keep it funded. Congressman Franks understood this and made sure his votes always reflected those interests. For those who will run to replace him, it will be good to be prepared and knowledgeable about Luke and how important it is in the district and in the United States. Ryan Edwards Avondale

No fine dining in Buckeye Editor: Instead of a fine dining restaurant in Buckeye, we get a storage facility to go along with a car wash, two tire stores and three brake stores. Is this how a city grows? What’s wrong with our mayor and city leaders? All I can say is, “Whoop de do.” Larry Ruvido Buckeye

Improve students’ performance in school Editor: This is for all parents who want their son or daughter to excel in school. A cursory view of the literature reveals comprehension is achieved by building connections between previ-

ous experiences and knowledge and the new information and knowledge. Moreover, reading has cognitive consequences that extend beyond the immediate culling of meaning from a particular text. The lack of practice, difficult materials and inadequate coding skills result in unrewarding reading activities. As a student matriculates through the grades with practice and adequate coding skills, word recognition becomes automatic and less time is spent on researching definitions. In a 1988 study on the individual differences in vocabulary development and lexical richness between speech and print, the average child at the 90th percentile reads about 2 million words per year or about 5,400 words per day. A child at the 10th percentile reads about 8,000 words per year or about 21 words per day. This means at the rate of 21 words per day this child would take 271 days to read the equivalent amount of words a child at the 90th percentile reads in one day. So reading outside the school day of not necessarily school-related material has long confirmed the high correlation between reading exposure and reading achievement. What does this all come to? Reading on one’s own time and/or being read to, especially at preschool ages, are crucial conduits for learning the more complex literary language needed for progression in reading as well as language. It all begins with the parents and then is embellished by teachers, not the other way around. The sooner a child reads or is read to will improve cognitive, syntactic and knowledge acquisition skills that will benefit your son or daughter now and in the future. This is just a summary of the research I did working toward my master’s degree. I truly compliment the way West Valley libraries are running their reading programs. Les Armstrong Goodyear

‘Wrong again, Roy’ Editor: In response to Mr. Azzarello’s comments in the January 3 issue, I have one answer, “Wrong again,

Roy.” The Democrats in Congress, along with 75 percent of the country, voted against the Republican tax bill because they saw it for what it was—a scam, an attempt to transfer hundreds of billions of dollars from the low and middle class to 1 percent of the population and, in the process, destroying the social safety net of millions. The so-called “trickle-down theory,” espoused by the right, is a myth and they know it. If the bill is so good, why did Republicans have to rush through Congress a plan that would affect the entire country? Why with no debate? Why tell the brightest and best that their tuition grant for grad studies is now income? How is that misguided policy good for the middle class? Tell me how inflating the national debt by over $3 trillion is good for my grandchildren who will be paying for it the rest of their lives? And you call yourselves fiscal conservatives? That’s a joke. Why force a vote at midnight when few had a chance to read it through with any comprehension? Several Republican congressmen and women have now admitted that they had no time to read the final bill. They were only going on what they were told, adding that knowing now what it contained they would have voted against it. But the Republicans were so desperate to pass something that

they cared little for the way it would affect millions of hard working families. Party over country? Now that’s a recipe for disaster. As for labeling groups of people who support progressive policies, I am proud to be among them. Look at some of the groups supporting your positions: white nationalists, KKK, neo-Nazis, skinheads and hate groups—now that’s something to be proud of. Dr. David Wilson Goodyear

Memories come flooding back as a quiet life ends in Florida By David Leibowitz She lived a quiet life in a small white house on a narrow street in a south Florida suburb. You could say she never achieved fame, but she would have laughed at you for such foolishness, because she had everything she ever wanted. She had her husband, Harvey, by her side every day for 53 years. She had two sons who in her eyes could do no wrong and three grandkids who would do even better. And she did nothing at all, ever, that she did not want to do. She even died when she wanted to die, at the age of 71 years old, when she could no longer bear the pain of her body failing. So, she signed her name to a “do not resuscitate” order and she slipped off into a morphine haze. Eventually, all the breath went out of her. Then, she was gone, at 4 o’clock in the morning on the Friday after Christmas. And all that was left were memories and stories, a lifetime’s worth. She was born in the borough of

Brooklyn, in the city of New York, and mom by delivering a well-placed kick though she moved to Florida in 1978, to the woman’s skull.

Fentanyl is killing Arizonans: Is Congress OK with that? By Tim Hampton There’s a dangerous crop of drugs circulating on Arizona’s streets. Law enforcement report the seizure of counterfeit pharmaceuticals laced with deadly fentanyl. The Tucson Police Department Crime Lab recently tested multiple seizures of pills disguised as oxycodone. But they contained a lethal cocktail of ingredients, including fentanyl, a synthetic opioid that kills with a dose smaller than a few grains of sand. Police suspect that these drugs were illegally trafficked to our state from Mexico. With the opioid epidemic raging throughout the country and in our state, such illegally imported counterfeit pills are making this issue worse. Yet, Congress may soon pass legislation that would worsen the crisis. A recently proposed bill would allow Americans to purchase prescription drugs from foreign nations, including Mexico. By relaxing restrictions on drug importation, Congress would make it easier for criminals to import and sell dangerous medications. Opioids are a class of drugs that include prescription painkillers, such as oxycodone, to notorious drugs like heroin. People are abusing these drugs at higher rates than ever. This summer, more than 200 Arizonans died of opioid overdoses. State officials attribute this spike to synthetic opioids such as fentanyl. Fentanyl is 100 times more potent than morphine. A lethal fentanyl dose is just 3 milligrams. By comparison, a lethal dose of heroin is 30 milligrams. Most tragically, drug users often don’t realize that they’re taking fentanyl. That’s because dealers combine it with heroin or, as they’re doing right now, pass it off as other opioids, or prescription drugs. This deception, combined with fentanyl’s potency, makes the drug extremely deadly. It’s claimed the lives of 32 Maricopa County residents alone over the last two years. In August, the Drug Enforcement Administration and Tempe police seized 30,000 fentanyl pills designed

to look like oxycodone pills. Making matters worse, there are more dangerous strains of fentanyl emerging. Carfentanil is a third strain that officials are spotting across the country. This variety is 100 times more potent than fentanyl and is used to tranquilize elephants. These new synthetic fentanyls also are resistant to the overdose antidote naloxone. Much of America’s fentanyl comes from China. A recent report from the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission found that China exports large amounts of fentanyl to countries like Canada and Mexico. These drugs are then illegally trafficked into the United States. With all the dangers already looming from illegal importation, it is unfathomable that Congress would be considering legislation that would legalize importation and flood the United States with dangerous drugs from foreign nations. A recent report by former FBI Director Louis Freeh warns that if Congress passes the Affordable and Safe Prescription Drug Importation Act, more fentanyl could flood the Grand Canyon State. Foreign markets are not as tightly regulated as ours. Many online pharmacies selling “Canadian” drugs, for instance, obtain the products from other countries. An FDA investigation found that roughly 85 percent of the drugs consumers thought they were buying from Canada actually originated from 27 other countries. I was a law enforcement agent for 32 years. I’ve seen how criminal organizations can exploit weaknesses in the law to traffic narcotics. The drug importation bill would weaken America’s anti-drug defenses and endanger thousands of innocent lives—here in Arizona and throughout the nation. Tim Hampton is a retired commander of the property crimes and major offender bureau for the Phoenix Police Department. He served in law enforcement for 32 years.

Millennium grad finds success with Teaspressa By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski Goodyear native Allison DeVane believed she had one route when she graduated from Millennium High School in 2008: earn a degree, get a job, then, get benefits. She tried multiple employers, but nothing felt right. “I could never keep just one job for over a year,” she said. “I was very disengaged or felt like I could do more.” She could. Three years ago, she started the successful Teaspressa, Phoenix-based gourmet beverage company that sells signature tea drinks that are comparable to lattes, mochas or other coffee beverages. “I’m a coffee fanatic,” she said. “I love coffee. When I wanted to start a business, it was going to be a coffee shop. But there are a lot of great coffee shops out there. “I basically decided to Americanize tea. Tea, after water, is the most consumed beverage in the entire world. We drink it here in America, but it’s not as embraced and accepted as coffee,

Now, we’re at the point where we can afford to have our own brick and mortar, which was our original business plan. This is one of our locations.” An Arcadia location is expected to open soon, as will other stores in the Valley. She is working on an outlet in Ann Arbor, Michigan, too. DeVane has been motivated to succeed since she was a business marketing student at ASU. The Barrett, The Honors College, student who Allison DeVane, who recently opened a Teaspressa shop Taliesin West, is an alum of the television show Shark minored in design, was a part at Tank.

In ASU, I was part of sorority and scholarship programs.

She changed her major and appreciates “how flexible ASU was.” The 2012 ASU graduate is part of the Barrett Cabinet, and helps plan fundraisers and other events. “I like doing things to help further the kids, as far as opportunities,” she said. “I like to connect with people and James M. give life advice.” Johnson, M.D. She wouldn’t have her life any other way. “Every day is different,” DeVane Maria R.

Its signature tea blends are loose leaf and prepared like espresso shots, resulting in gourmet tea lattes and coffee-inspired beverages that contain as much caffeine as espresso. “Some describe it as a different coffee,” she said. “It’s actually tea. There are no other additives. We don’t add caffeine or anything like that. It’s all-natural tea.

Lady Tigers hungry for return visit to title game By Casey Pritchard The Millennium girls basketball team was close to a state championship last year. After the heartbreak of losing in the title game to Valley Vista, the Lady Tigers are hungry for a chance at redemption. Millennium has followed suit, starting the season 9-0 in power-points games. Despite the undefeated record, there were a few hiccups, including a game against Desert Edge in which the Lady Tigers barely escaped with a win. “This biggest thing we’ve battled with early on is complacency,” said Millennium coach Cory Rojeck. “We had a bunch of girls who played in the state championship the year before, and I don’t think we had a great approach to some of our early games.” Rojeck said he believes the girls were looking at big names on the schedule, and not focusing on other games. They were anticipating games against Valley Vista, Hamilton and Horizon, all of whom made the state playoffs. “I knew early on, when I looked at the Desert Edge game, that it would be one of the scarier games on the schedule,” Rojeck said. Millennium only beat Desert Edge by four points, which rattled the Lady Tigers. Over the next three games, they beat Desert Vista, Horizon and Hamilton by double figures. The girls, Rojeck said, need to stop anticipating the playoffs. “We have to play 18 games before the playoffs start,” Rojeck said “We’re getting back in that mode. I think we’re getting to the point where we’re kind of honing in.” Millennium also played its early season schedule without one of its top players. Ali Zelaya broke her nonshooting hand and is slated to return soon. Last year as a freshman, Zelaya averaged 10.7 points and 7.6 rebounds per game. In Zelaya’s absence, Rojeck has given other girls opportunities. “Girls have stepped up,” Rojeck said. “We’re going nine, 10 deep in the rotation, and we’re getting positive minutes from all the girls. When (Zelaya) comes back, the rotation will change, obviously. Anytime you bring a 6-4 kid back into your starting lineup who can shoot it, pass it, dribble, post, do everything, obviously that’s going to help tremendously.” Junior Dominique Phillips has been one of the Lady Tigers’ go-to players.

She’s averaging 15.7 points and 6.5 rebounds per game, and is playing a different spot with Zelaya’s absence. “With Ali out, Dom has had to pick up the slack down low,” Rojeck said. “She has to play out of position at times defensively because she has to guard a post, but she never complains, goes hard, keeps working.” Jasmine Singleton and Tyonna Singleton have also played well for the Lady Tigers, especially on the defensive side, Rojeck said. Jasmine plays point guard. “I look at her as the best defensive player in the state; she’s scrappy,” Rojeck said. “She’s our go-to defensive stopper, and she’s scoring a little more this year.” Alaina Diggs has been a big contributor, averaging 8.2 points and 8.0 rebounds, which is tops on the team. Shyann Heredia has filled in as a starter with Zelaya out and is averaging 6.7 points per game. Millennium hit its first rough patch at the Nike Tournament of Champions December 19 to December 22. The Lady Tigers went 1-3 in the tournament against some of the top teams in the country. “The experience that you get from this is invaluable because we’re playing teams that are nationally ranked or are the state champions from their state,” Rojeck said. “It’s one of the best ways to prepare for Arizona schools like Valley Vista and the teams we’ll face in the playoffs.” There was no rest for Millennium following the Nike tournament, as it

visited Las Vegas for the Las Vegas Holiday Classic December 27 to December 29. The Lady Tigers went 3-2 in that event. “I wouldn’t say we’ve shot the ball particularly well this year, but defensively we’ve done a good job, for the most part,” Rojeck said. The Lady Tigers return to action January 12 when hosting Tolleson. Their first battle with Valley Vista is at 7 p.m. January 19 at home. “The big thing is one game at a time,” Rojeck said. “I always tell the girls, we want to coach and play with the big picture in mind. The big picture is we want to improve every week, improve every day. We want to be playing our best basketball come February. I think we’re along that track.”

WV Gals inspire students through mentorships By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

When the Southwest Valley YMCA was building its Goodyear campus in 2003, officials asked Debra Undhjem if she would help raise funds. “I said, ‘Absolutely,’” Undhjem said. “I got a bunch of girlfriends together and we started planning annual fundrasiers for them.” The group needed a title to go forward and from then on, the ladies were known as Arizona Gals of the West. The organization, which was cofounded by Undhjem and Goodyear Mayor Georgia Lord, features members from Goodyear, Avondale, Surprise, Waddell, Estrella, Tolleson and Sun City. “We were really just a community of friends getting together to plan a party and raise money for a great cause,” Undhjem said. “We’ve raised $300,000 for the community so far, and we give back even more in mentorship programs.” Gals of the West’s mission is to dedicate time and expertise to raise the quality of life for individuals in need. They continue to serve the community

through friendly mentorship and with caring action. They mentor by sponsoring scholarships for high school and college students. The nonprofit hosts two major fundraisers per year—the Derby Tea in the spring and Mingle and Jingle in the winter. This year’s tea is 11 a.m. Saturday, April 28. New Life Center, Homeless Youth Connection, Mercy Housing Southwest and Litchfield Elementary School District Educational Foundation’s Centennial Way Campaign are among the causes it has supported. Past President Anne Clair said the Gals try their best to include students in their events. Annually, the Gals host a fashion show. Students are given a $10 budget to spend with Gals members at thrift stores to prove they can shop anywhere and still be successful and confident, Undhjem added. Gals’ events are excellent opportunities for students to see successful women at work, said President Ashley Billhymer.

“I think it’s a wonderful opportunity to have such quality women showing up at our events,” Billhymer said. “When you plan these events, you don’t know who’s going to attend. I am in the group with incredible women who care deeply about what we do.” The members extend beyond Gals, too. If another nonprofit is in need of volunteers, the women step up and help. “We try to support other organizations like the Rotary or Salvation Army,” Undhjem said. “We will join them and go out to the Avondale Community Center or Mercy House and

For more information, visit https:// www.facebook.com/ArizonaGalsoftheWest/. “We’re personable,” said member Jamie Seeker. “The thing we do, the things we touch, who we touch all helps build the community. These may sound like little events, but throughout the year, we make such a big impact. At the end of the day, we can see the impact they have on the community.” Clair said she enjoys being a Gals member, and sticking by its mantra. “We stress that you may not be a leader today, but you may be tomorrow.”

Native American art takes center stage at The Gathering By Lynette Carrington

Native American culture and traditions will be celebrated during The GatheringLitchfield Park Native American Fine Arts Festival on Saturday, January 13, and Sunday, January 14. It will feature more than 100 Native American artists and artisans who represent more than 20 different tribes. Those who attend the festival will find traditional and contemporary arts orchestrated in clothing, beadwork, jewelry, paintings, prints, sculpture, pottery, weaving and performance art. “Many of our committee members have been working on it since virtually day one,” said Litchfield Park special events coordinator Tricia Kramer, who is going on her seventh festival. “It’s nice to be involved with a group of 20 volunteers who really have some insight into how the festival was started and is meant to move forward.” In 2016, its location was moved to the center of Litchfield Park and a gate entrance fee was removed. Artist booths will line Old Litchfield Road south of Wigwam Boulevard, the Litchfield Library lawn, and across the gazebo lawn on the east side of Old Litchfield Road. “This location gave it a better presence and it became more visually appealing by putting it in that area,” she said. “It’s free and open to the public. Visitors can come in and learn more about the Native American art and culture. We’ve taken away that line that people weren’t willing to cross by having a gate fee in previous years.” The artists participate on an inviteonly basis. “First and foremost, artists need to be registered Native Americans,” Kramer said of the selection process. “That goes for the artists as well as performers. We look for those who have a connection to Arizona and to our community. For instance, Gabriel

Ayala is an Arizona performer and a Native American Music Award winner. He’s one of the best of the best out there. We want him to be here to share his passion and talent. “That goes for our other artists like Artificial Red and Randy Kemp, who are local Native American performers. We have Adrian Wall coming in from New Mexico who is a sculptor as well as a performer. Those are the types of people we look for – those who are well-rounded, people that have a great presence with the public and represent their culture well, so we can expand knowledge.” A classical guitarist, Ayala is a member of the Yaqui people of Southern Arizona and has performed at The Gathering five times in the last seven years. He earned a master’s degree in music performance from the University of Arizona in 1997, and has taught at every educational level, sharing musical expertise and the experiences of his culture as he meets others. “It’s a chance to play for my own communities and my own state,” said Ayala, who will perform and display artwork. “It’s a fantastic thing to be traveling around the U.S. and internationally. But, there’s something about having a connection with people who are from our desert, my desert, and have them come see me.” Ayala seeks to inspire and share experiences with people through his musical performance and other creative endeavors such as his photography, artwork and wearable art. “I tell people all the time that I use this platform to share about issues that people don’t know about that we face as indigenous people on our reservations,” Ayala explained. “I’m one of the positive statistics. Usually people only stereotype natives as being able to play a flute or hit a drum. For me, by taking

this Western music and adapting it and using it as my voice, it gives me a bigger opportunity to showcase that while being able to talk about important native issues such as the pipeline and poverty.” Ayala will showcase ledger art, an art form that died in the 1900s. He wants to bring it back through sheet music. “Ledger art was from the early to mid- Tricksters Rosa and Melvin John tell Native American stories using masks and costumes.

Goodyear veteran debuts inspirational book

By Lynette Carrington A Goodyear U.S. Air Force veteran has combined her insight, her experiences and her faith in God for her new book, Fresh Manna: A 40-Day Journey to Your Promise and a New Beginning with God. Shawanda Randolph’s inspirational tome, which she finished in August, serves as a meditation journal that incorporates poems, reflections and prayers that give readers the chance to discover God and begin living in his grace. She was inspired to write the book after joining a hiking group in 2016, said Randolph, a retired master sergeant from Luke Air Force Base. “I went out on a trail on this particular day by myself and it was the first day I had ever gone out on my own,” she said. “It was a trail I was kind of familiar

with, but it seemed like I was losing my way a little bit. I was inspired to learn to trust God. That was the beginning of, ‘I can do this,’ ‘I know my way, but why am I always questioning the direction that I’ve already been given on how to get through this?’” Life questions like this are explored in her book. Fresh Manna is food for thought where faith and a relationship with God are concerned. She said she believes God guided her to write the book. In gathering thoughts and material for Fresh Manna, Randolph said that God showed her something different during each daily hike. The book evolved out of those personal experiences. “I thought, ‘That’s kind of crazy, but, OK, I’ll go with it,’” Randolph explained. “This book is a culmination

of life lessons, biblical text and there is also some poetry in there as well. It relates to a very practical kind of person. It’s very much related to things that we see or experience in our everyday lives.” She said she thinks Fresh Manna encourages people to strengthen their faith by seeing situations differently and becoming more optimistic. Another area of her book challenges people to rediscover their identity and purpose, and establish a new covenant with God.

Tres Rios receives grant for MLK Day celebrations By Connor Dziawura Tolleson’s Tres Rios Service Academy has progressed since it became a service-learning school two years ago. It is continuing its mission of combining education and community service in a variety of ways, including with its Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebrations. Partnering with the Tolleson Senior Center, the elementary schoolchildren will take part in many activities, thanks to a $1,500 grant from Youth Service America (YSA). “It’s a fabulous organization,” said Principal Karen Grose. “I didn’t know anything really about them until I went to a conference last year about service learning and I found out about them.” At Tres Rios’ MLK Day celebration on Tuesday, January 16, students will paint a mural on campus, host a senior prom at the senior center and do arts and crafts with its residents. The funds will be used for supplies for the mural, buses to take students to the Tolleson Senior Center, and small white tiles for students to do arts and crafts with

the seniors. On the small white tiles, seniors and students will create mini murals. The party goes beyond that, though. “We’ll have a DJ, so we’ll have music,” explained Santiago Cornejo, Tolleson senior programs coordinator. “We’re also going to have a photo booth for them. They can help us with the refreshments, as well, and serving lunch to our seniors. So, it will be a variety of activities going on at once. “Some of the kids are going to speak in regard to MLK Day. They might do a 5-minute presentation on what it entails.” Through its involvement with YSA, the K-8 school received several grants for various community outreach efforts. The school’s previous effort was its 9/11 Day of Service, which was seen as a success. The event included a first responder’s breakfast, a thank you campaign, and a donation drive for veterans, according to Grose. “I have been really impressed just with the amount of resources,” she

said. “They (YSA) kind of take issues that are impacting communities and they come up with service projects or curriculums that support schools and youth programs in those areas.” These service projects support underserved populations, she said. “The YSA parameters are loose but they’re tight,” Grose explained. “You have to get your whole school

involved.” While Tres Rios hasn’t been with YSA long, and the service learning focus is relatively new, the school has helped out in the community in many ways in the past, including through hurricane and pajama drives. As for the upcoming MLK Day outreach, it’s just another addition to Tres Rios’ growing resume of helping its community.

School steps up to civic engagement

By Connor Dziawura Tres Rios Service Academy was recently recognized as an Arizona School of Merit through the Arizona Department of Education’s (ADE) Excellence in Civic Engagment Program for applying the six proven practices of civic learning to its curriculum. The six practices are classroom instruction, discussion of current events and controversial issues, service learning, extracurricular activities, simulations of democratic processes and student participation in school governance. “It’s hard in an elementary school because it’s hard to say our K-3 students govern themselves,” said Principal Karen Grose. “So, we had to write the application based on our school.” Schools must fill out a lengthy application to to be considered for the distinction. “(ADE’s) Excellence in Civic Engagement Program is designed to recognize and support the important role that schools play in ensuring that our students are informed and engaged citizens,” said Tammy Waller, ADE director of K-12 social studies and world languages. As a School of Merit, this means Tres Rios is an Arizona Civic Engagement School, Waller said. Applications are scored by ADE’s Excellence in Civic Engagement Committee. “I was super excited we were a School of Merit as an elementary school,” Grose said. “Hopefully, we’ll move up the ladder as we get better bringing civic engagement more in the school. But civic engagement goes hand in hand with service learning.” While the school was informed in December, the official recognition will come at the fifth annual Civic Learning Conference at Desert Willow Conference

Center on March 2. “We’re really just going to talk about our journey going from a traditional elementary school to becoming a service-learning school and some of the things that we’ve noticed and we’ve learned along the way,” said Grose, who added the school received a B rating. “It was a nice year for Tres Rios.” Grose is excited the school is moving forward, achieving its missions of service learning and civic engagement, and being able to help its community in the process. “For me, I was really excited that as an elementary school we were able to show that we are implementing those six pillars at different levels across our school,” Grose said. “And, I think for me, it kind of raises the bar in what we can do differently and what we can do next.” But what will Tres Rios do next? Well, Grose said she and the school have ambitious goals. “I think our next focus is taking it to the next level,” she explained. “We’ve done a little bit of learning around the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and I think that’s going to be where we focus a lot of our activities going into the 2018 and 2019 school year … if we’re going to do a food drive we want to tie it to the UN sustainable goal of no poverty. If we’re going to talk about a book drive we want to tie it to the UN sustainable goal of quality education. “So, I think we’re going to look for links to the work that we’re doing and tie it to a broader purpose in society. It’s very lofty, but that’s OK, lofty is good. If you don’t set big goals for yourself then you don’t achieve them.”

OBITUARIES

Richard Joseph Prescott 1931-2017

“Heroes are people who say this is my community and it is my responsibility to make it better.” (Thomas McCall) The Master Builder has died at age 86. The oldest of three brothers who were orphaned at a young age, he was responsible for traveling alone with his 2 younger brothers to Arizona on a train when he was only 10, returning a year later with them to Illinois. He had taken a leadership role ever since. He took pride in the contribution that these Prescott boys have made to the Rock FallsSterling community. By the age of 21, married with 3 children, he had already built 2 houses alone for his expanding family, seeing this as the only way he could provide a home for them. Along with his wife Juanita, he formed Prescott Construction Company in 1961 at the age of 30. He was committed to quality, reliability, fairness, and honesty in all of his business and personal dealings. Consequently, his employees were loyal and proud to be working for him. He was committed to running a union shop to provide the best wages and benefits for his employees. He was instrumental in fostering the construction trades through the unions and the Northern Illinois Contractors Association. He was highly respected by his peers and competitors in the construction industry. Examples of his buildings remain scattered throughout the tri-county area, including the Whiteside County Court House and Law Enforcement Center, YWCA, and Sacred Heart Church. He built additions to Community General Hospital and Sterling Township High School, including the vocational school there. Being a self-made man, he never forgot that often people need only a small hand to help them achieve and succeed. Consequently, he sought ways to encourage others and to give back to the community he loved. While recovering from open heart surgery in 1986, he started (even from his hospital bed at Michael Reese Hospital in Chicago) planning and designing Parkway Center. He believed that the community needed such a service for its senior citizens. Parkway Center became the first such program in the State of Illinois to provide 3 levels of care in one setting-independent living, semi-assisted care, and skilled nursing care. He and his wife Juanita started a low fee dental clinic, provided scholarships for Sauk Valley College, and most recently, made a major contribution to Rock River Hospice and Home. Along with his wife Juanita, he formed Prescott Construction Company, Prescott Development, Prescott Country Acres, and Parkway Center, to name a few. To quote a friend, he was “charming, cheerful, and very human” in his dealings with others. He was known as an excellent dancer. When he attended his last dance, he was too weak to actually dance. This did not mean he could not enjoy the music and “feel the beat.” As he got up to leave, walking slowly with a cane, he was surrounded by women who danced with him in circle. He was preceded in death by his mother Nettie (d. 1934), his father George (d. 1941), and his wife Juanita (d. 2005). He is survived by his brothers James and Robert; his 3 children Kathleen (Daniel) Moskowitz, Vicki Lee (Paul Couch) Prescott, and Richard G. (Leontine) Prescott; five grandsons Andrew Richard Moskowitz,Alexander Prescott-Couch, Timothy Robert Prescott, Jonathan Jacob Moskowitz, and Quincy Lee Prescott; and his companion and best friend Marilou Lawrence. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Rock River Hospice and Home (2706 Avenue E, Sterling, Illinois 61081), which he considered to be the pinnacle of his career.

John Thomas Connett John Thomas Connett, 60, of Waddell, joined his father James William Connett in heaven on December 22, 2017. He was born on December 18, 1957 in Mesa. John loved his family and is survived by his beloved wife, Terri Connett; children Heather (Todd) Owen, Erin (Ryan) Bezdicek, Dalton Connett, and Haydon Connett; grandchildren Landon and Natalie Owen and Jack Bezdicek; mother, Agnes Connett; and sisters, Kathleen (Cliff) Kitts, Christine Connett, Monica (Ken) Rowe, Margaret (Mike) Hensell, Jennifer (Terry) Evans, and so many other loves ones. John grew up in Phoenix. He attended St. Vincent de Paul Elementary School and West High School. He kept in contact and enjoyed time with several of his childhood friends. John had many passions; his biggest passion was his family and loved the lunches, dinners and just overall chaos that ensued when everyone was together. He also enjoyed time he recently was able to spend with his friends since he retired, gun collecting, hunting, fishing, camping, horseback riding, and tinkering with cars. He was the ultimate "piddler", his friends and family always knew they could find him in his shop fixing something. John was retired after 36 years in the telecommunications industry. Services will be held at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, 400 South Old Litchfield Rd, Litchfield Park, AZ 85340 at 11am on Saturday, January 13, 2018. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in his honor to Crossing Church or St. Peter’s Episcopal Church.

Victor Allen Benton Victor Allen Benton died in Litchfield Park, Arizona on December 16, 2017. He was 82 years old. Following a massive stroke in July 2010, Victor was cared for in his home, until his death, by his wife, Margaret Benton, and stepdaughter, Katherine Zuga. Mr. Benton was born in Arlington, Texas to Lillie Mae Annen Benton and Victor Charles Benton. His military service and work took Victor across the U.S. and to Japan, Korea, Turkey, and the Marshall Islands. After graduating from high school, he enlisted in the U.S. Army and served as a mechanic in the Korean War. Victor later was a U.S. Army Reservist and worked as an Electronics Technician for Loran and other radio transmitting stations in the Coast Guard. Following his military service, Victor received a B.S. in Mathematics, with minors in Physics and Electrical Engineering, from the University of Texas, Arlington. He later held engineering positions with IBM, LTV Aerospace, Western Electric Corporation, McDonnell Douglas, the Battelle Memorial Institute, and the Department of Energy. Victor had a commercial pilot's license and enjoyed flying across the country and to National Parks with his wife, Margaret, in his Cherokee 180 airplane. He was a past president of the New Mexico State Poetry Society, a former volunteer with the West Valley Child Crisis Center, and a past member of the Litchfield Park Planning and Zoning Commission. Victor's immediate survivors include his wife of 25 years, Margaret Benton, and sister, Cherry Childress. Other survivors include his daughter, Carol Waddell, and son, Edward Benton, and four grandchildren. He is also survived by four stepchildren, Dr. Jean Jaeger, Matthew Zuga, Michael Zuga, and Katherine Zuga, four step grandchildren, and one great step grandchild. The family offers appreciation to Dr. Alicia Acevedo-Urcuyo, the Goodyear and Avondale Fire Departments, and Right at Home for their exceptional care and support. Donations in Victor's memory can be mailed to Healing America's Heroes (HAH) at P.O. Box 592 Tierra Amarilla, New Mexico 87575. HAH is an organization that provides horse and fly-fishing therapy to veterans with TBI, PTSD, or MST.
