Cactus League scrambles to resolve ticket sales BY GARETH KWOK Cronkite News
With Major League Baseball pitchers and catchers expected to report in one week, Cactus League teams are scrambling to determine what Spring Training will look like for fans in 2021. The league announced it is preparing for an on-time start to Spring Training and opening day as originally scheduled after the Players Association rejected the league’s proposal to delay the start of both by a month. Some Cactus League teams have yet to offer Spring Training tickets for upcoming games on their team websites, and a recording at Camelback Ranch, the home of the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Chicago White Sox, said ticket sales “are undetermined at this time.” A link on the website allows fans to sign up for a wait list. The Chicago Cubs did send an email to Sloan Park season ticket holders that said they were “shifting to limited, socially distanced pod-style seating” for the 2021 season. However, the website says stay tuned

for ticket information. Salt River Fields, the home to the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies, aborted ticket sales shortly before they were to start.
Peoria Mayor Cathy Carlat is optimistic a plan will be established sooner rather than later.

Litchfield Park State of the City set for Feb. 13 BY JAKARIA ROSS
West Valley View Staff Writer
Mayor Thomas Schoaf and Interim City Manager Matthew Williams will discuss the State of the City during a prerecorded presentation available on YouTube on Saturday, Feb. 13.
They will look at 20 items, including updates to the city center project that will begin road construction over the summer of 2021. City hall enhancements will be a point of discussion as well, along with special events and small-business changes
throughout Litchfield Park as they relate to COVID-19. A live Q&A session via Zoom will start immediately following the presentation. Residents can address their concerns then.

Tickets...continued from page 1 “Baseball is America’s favorite pastime and Spring Training cities have an obligation to baseball fans to assure a safe environment for their enjoyment,” Carlat said in a statement. “With the Cactus League and Spring Training cities working in collaboration with MLB, we are hopeful that we can develop a plan for a safe fan experience.” Goodyear Mayor Georgia Lord said she is looking forward to welcoming fans to the ballpark for Spring Training games, which are slated to start Feb. 27. Goodyear Ballpark hosts the Cleveland Indians and Cincinnati Reds. “Our dedicated staff has been working since last year to ensure that our fans have a very safe experience,” Lord said. “We are following Major League Baseball protocols and CDC guidelines as part of our implementation of strict health and safety procedures to keep players, fans and staff as safe as possi-

ble. We are ready for the start of the season and eagerly await Opening Day.” Decisions will be left up to municipalities, and teams could have different protocol when it comes to seating and capacity of the stadium. They must also figure out issues related to health protocol, food safety and housing for players. Major League Baseball had hoped to have more time to decide. “On the advice of medical experts, we proposed a one-month delay to the start of Spring Training and the regular season to better protect the health and safety of players and support staff,” MLB said in a statement. “A delay of the season would allow for the level of COVID-19 infection rates to decrease and additional time for the distribution of vaccinations, as well as minimizing potential disruptions to the 2021 season that currently face all sports.” MLB’s proposal included the postponement of opening day to April 29, a
154-game schedule and a full payment of player salaries as if it were a 162game season. The Players Association released a statement. “Although player salaries would not be initially prorated to a 154-game regular season, MLB’s proposal offers no salary or service time protections in the event of further delays, interruptions, or cancellation of the season,” the statement read. “The clear-cut result of these deliberations is that players will not accept MLB’s proposal, will instead continue preparations for an on-time start to the 2021 season, and will accept MLB’s commitment to again direct its clubs to prepare for an on-time start.” Spring Training camps are set to open on Wednesday, Feb. 17. Opening day is scheduled for Thursday, April 1, and a 162-game season will remain. “In light of the MLBPA’s rejection of our proposal, and their refusal to counter our revised offer this afternoon, we
are moving forward and instructing our clubs to report for an on-time start to Spring Training and the championship season, subject to reaching an agreement on health and safety protocols,” MLB said. The Cactus League wrote to MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred on Jan. 22 asking to delay Spring Training’s start due to COVID-19 infection rates. The Arizona Department of Health Services on Feb. 5 reported 2,867 new cases in Maricopa County. The county notes it’s declining. “We’re hopeful that there will be fans in the stands, but again, it changes all the time,” Cactus League executive director Bridget Binsbacher told Cronkite News on Jan. 25. “We’re moving in the right direction and so we’re just trying to be as optimistic and ready for whatever comes our way.”
cilmembers will make remarks concerning their views on the state of the city. “We’re going to explain some of the
things that the city has done for over a year now,” Schoaf said. “That includes making some changes to the way businesses are conducted to try to make sure they are done in a safe manner and are consistent with the governor’s proclamations.” The city hall enhancements will be focused on COVID-19. “We’re also going to talk a little bit about what we have done at city hall to make it safe for staff members and the public,” Schoaf said. “We will also talk about how we are using virtual meetings for the council and board.” Special events and festivals will be conducted safely, he said, because most have been canceled. “We will talk about the changes we’ve made within our recreation and special events,” Schoaf said. “Sometimes we’ve canceled, but other times we’ve figured out ways we can mitigate the risks for both people who are hosting events and attending.” Commenting on the change in the state of the city’s delivery method due to COVID-19, Williams revealed hopes for citizen participation. “It’s very important for citizens to understand the projects that the city has moving forward,” Williams said. “It’s also important for city staff and more so city council to understand citizen
concerns. The citizens are the city; we need to know the things they want to see happen and things they don’t want. We hope in the future to go back to our regular meeting. This year we cannot hold a large meeting. It’s important for citizens to see the projects are moving forward.” The mayor will reveal updates to the city center that has been in discussion since 1996. Although the city council is still calculating the project’s budget, Williams said the city center will be finished in three to five years. “We’re looking for the roads to be cut in for the city center and also the infrastructure to be put in this year,” Williams said. “We expect the roundabout at Litchfield Road and Village Parkway to get underway this year. We’ll also be looking to update the wall at Camelback Park.” The first phase is estimated to cost $6.6 million, which includes the start of the construction on the Litchfield Road and roundabout, Village Parkway extension, grading and drainage for the full 30 acres, and phase one of the park development. Finance Director Paige Petersen said the city has $9 million invested with the state treasurer and $6.2 million budgeted for the city center project. Schoaf suggested looking at an additional bond to fund the project.

WESTMARC tackles growth in the West Valley BY CHRISTIAN SERRANO
West Valley View Contributing Writer
The Western Maricopa Coalition (WESTMARC) recently launched its bimonthly series, West Valley Hot Topics. The speaker series invites experts in a wide variety of fields to speak about the West Valley’s key issues of business attraction and economic development. The West Valley Hot Topics participants met virtually to hear several speakers discuss the critical issues of population growth, transportation, water and 5G technology. The series is sponsored by SRP. “Maricopa is the fourth fastest-growing county in the nation, and over the next two decades over 50% of that growth will happen in the West Valley,” said Sintra Hoffman, WESTMARC’s president and chief executive officer. Maricopa Association of Governments Regional Analytics Director Anubhav Bagley discussed the explosive growth in the West Valley. Between 2014 and 2019, the region west of the I-17 had an 11% population growth, she said. The growth is equivalent to adding the entire city of Tempe to the West Valley. The majority of this growth is concentrated in Buckeye, which experienced an annual growth of 5.25% since 2010. Goodyear’s growth is 3.4%. Buckeye Economic Development Director David Roderique said Buckeye is the second fastest-growing U.S. city in the past decade. Despite the pandemic, data collected by the city demonstrated a 26% increase in single-family residential permits in 2020 compared to 2019. There is also 2.1 million square feet of new commercial development. “For us, the two most important things are water and transportation,” Roderique said. An estimated half of Buckeye’s budget goes to new infrastructure such as water and transportation projects. Long-term water availability for Buckeye and the West Valley is critical. Roderique presented on Buckeye’s largest infrastructure project: Jackie Meck Water Campus. The $100 million project started in 2017 and is pro-
jected to be completed in 2022. The project will improve water facilities and water infrastructure throughout the city. The Meck Water Campus will cover 5,000 acres of land and projected to process 6 million gallons per day with the ability to expand to 16 MGD in the future. Transportation is another of Buckeye’s Sintra Hoffman. important investments. WESTMARC) Arizona Department of Transportation is making improvements to I-10 between State Route 85 and Verrado Way. Improvements will include the Miller and Watson roads interchange, drainage, sound walls and a freeway management system. “We are looking at significant longterm planning for transportation,” Roderique said. Ronald Klawitter, principal of wa-
ter systems projects at SRP, presented projects intended to improve the capacities and infrastructure of the Roosevelt Dam and Verde River Reservoir. Improvements also include a pipeline project that will enhance movement of water throughout central Arizona. Some of the West Valley cities are part of (Photo courtesy SRP’s service area. The West Valley will experience significant investments in 5G technology. Verizon is projected to deliver 5G to 230 million customers across the United States. This includes the West Valley. “We believe that 5G really has the ability to transform things like transit, utility, public Wi-Fi, emergency response, health care, education,” said Jennifer Weaver, Verizon’s manager of network business development.

Buckeye police arrest suspects stealing from neighbors Buckeye police arrested three men Jan. 31 for allegedly stealing from their neighbors. Police were called to the Blue Horizons neighborhood, north of Yuma Road and west of Jackrabbit Trail, after a victim reported items having been stolen from his car. This was the second vehicle theft report officers took that morning. The victim and police worked together to gather evidence that led officers to a home several blocks away. Police contacted and interviewed three suspects: Jason Hughes, Noah Covarrubias and Paul Michael Stanley. All the suspects admitted involvement in 12 to 15 burglaries from that neighborhood in the early morning hours Jan. 31. At least one of the suspects was armed with a handgun during the suspected crimes. Police located four victims and were able to recover the stolen property. There may be outstanding victims who have not yet reported to police. The three suspects were arrested and booked into the Maricopa County Jail on a number of felony charges, including burglary and assisting a criminal syndicate.
Apache and Southern closure rescheduled Work to connect a new waterline into the Jackie A. Meck Water Cam-
pus requires the intersection of Apache Road and Southern Avenue to close to all travel beginning at 5 a.m. Monday, Feb. 15, through 6 p.m. Friday, Feb. 21. Construction activity will take place during daytime hours only. For safety reasons, barricades and traffic control around the work zone must remain in place even during nonwork hours. Access to all nearby residential areas will remain open at all times. The city asks drivers to follow the detour signage around the construction zone. The Jackie A. Meck Water Campus is a multiphased project to upgrade the city’s water infrastructure and improve water quality. When completed, the campus will house new wells, transmission and distribution lines, storage tanks, pumps and treatment processes to service the local area. The campus will treat approximately 6 million gallons of water a day, with the ability to expand to 16 million gallons a day when needed. For more details on the Jackie A. Meck Water Campus, visit buckeyeaz. gov/meckwatercampus. Lower Buckeye remains closed until mid-February from Miller Road to approximately 247th Avenue. —Executive Editor Christina Fuoco-Karasinski can be reached at christina@ timespublications.com

Men’s Virility Restored in Clinical Trial; 275% More Blood Flow in 5 Minutes A newly improved version of America’s best-selling male performance enhancer gives 70-year-old men the ability and stamina they enjoyed in their 30’s. America’s best-selling sexual performance enhancer just got a lot better. It’s the latest breakthrough for nitric oxide – the molecule that makes E.D. woes fade and restores virility when it counts the most. Nitric oxide won the Nobel Prize in 1998. It’s why “the little blue pill” works. More than 200,000 studies confirm it’s the key to superior sexual performance. And this new discovery increases nitric oxide availability resulting in even quicker, stronger and longer-lasting performance. One double-blind, placebo-controlled study (the “gold-standard” of research) involved a group of 70-yearold-men. They didn’t exercise. They didn’t eat healthy. And researchers reported their “nitric oxide availability was almost totally compromised,” resulting in blood flow less than HALF of a man in peak sexual health. But only five minutes after the first dose their blood flow increased 275%, back to levels of a perfectly healthy 31-year-old man! “It’s amazing,” remarks nitric oxide expert Dr. Al Sears. “That’s like giving 70-year-old men the sexual power of 30-year-olds.”
WHY SO MUCH EXCITEMENT? Despite the billions men spend annually on older nitric oxide therapies, there’s one well-known problem with them. They don’t always work. A very distinguished and awarded doctor practicing at a prestigious Massachusetts hospital who has studied Nitric Oxide for over 43 years states a “deficiency of bioactive nitric oxide… leads to impaired endotheliumdependent vasorelaxation.” In plain English, these older products may increase levels of nitric oxide. But that’s only half the battle. If it’s not bioactively available then your body can’t absorb it to produce an erection. Experts simply call it the nitric oxide “glitch.” And until now, there’s never been a solution.
NEXT GENERATION NITRIC OXIDE FORMULA FLYING OFF SHELVES Upon further research, America’s No. 1 men’s health expert Dr. Al Sears discovered certain nutrients fix this “glitch” resulting in 275% better blood flow. He’s combined those nutrients with proven nitric oxide boosters in a new formula called Primal Max Red.
In clinical trials, 5,000 mg is required for satisfying sexual performance. Primal Max Red contains a bigger, 9,000 mg per serving dose. It’s become so popular, he’s having trouble keeping it in stock. Dr. Sears is the author of more than 500 scientific papers. Thousands of people listened to him speak at the recent Palm Beach Health & Wellness Festival featuring Dr. Oz. NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Namath recently visited his clinic, the Sears Institute for AntiAging Medicine. Primal Max Red has only been available for a few months — but everyone who takes it reports a big difference. “I have the energy to have sex three times in one day, WOW! That has not happened in years. Oh, by the way I am 62,” says Jonathan K. from Birmingham, AL.
HOW IT WORKS Loss of erection power starts with your blood vessels. Specifically, the inside layer called the endothelium where nitric oxide is made. The problem is various factors THICKEN your blood vessels as you age. This blocks availability causing the nitric oxide “glitch.” The result is difficulty in getting and sustaining a healthy erection. How bad is the problem? Researcher shows the typical 40-year-old man absorbs 50% less nitric oxide. At 50, that drops to 25%. And once you pass 60 just a measly 15% gets through. To make matters worse, nitric oxide levels start declining in your 30’s. And by 70, nitric oxide production is down an alarming 75%. Primal Max Red is the first formula to tackle both problems. Combining powerful nitric oxide boosters and a proven delivery mechanism that defeats the nitric oxide “glitch” resulting in 275% better blood flow. There’s not enough space here to fully explain how it works, so Dr. Sears will send anyone who orders Primal Max Red a free special report that explains everything.
MORE CLINICAL RESULTS Nutrients in Primal Max Red have logged impressive results. In a Journal of Applied Physiology study, one resulted in a 30 times MORE nitric oxide. And these increased levels lasted up to 12 hours. “I measured my nitric oxide levels, you can buy a test kit from Amazon,” reports 48-year-old Jeff O. “Monday night I showed depleted.”
A new discovery that increases nitric oxide availability was recently proven in a clinical trial to boost blood flow 275% Then he used ingredients in Primal Max Red and, “The results were off the charts. I first woke around 3 a.m. on Tuesday very excited. My nitric oxide levels measured at the top end of the range.”
FREE BONUS TESTOSTERONE BOOSTER Every order also gets Dr. Sears testosterone boosting formula Primal Max Black for free. “If you want passionate ‘rip your clothes off’ sex you had in your younger days, you need nitric oxide to get your erection going. And testosterone for energy and drive,” says Dr. Sears. “You get both with Primal Max Red and Primal Max Black.”
HOW TO GET PRIMAL MAX To secure free bottles of Primal Max Black and get the hot, new Primal Max Red formula, buyers should contact the Sears Health Hotline at 1-800-530-8601 within the next 48 hours. “It’s not available in drug stores yet,” says Dr. Sears. “The Hotline allows us to ship directly to the customer.” Dr. Sears feels so strongly about Primal Max, all orders are backed by a 100% money-back guarantee. “Just send me back the bottle and any unused product within 90 days from purchase date, and I’ll send you all your money back,” he says.

P4P Construction joins Moose Lodge’s charity events
BY SARAH DONAHUE
West Valley View Staff Writer
To support and provide for the unhoused in Downtown Phoenix, P4P Construction has joined forces with the charitable efforts of nonprofit Avondale Moose Lodge. Every other month, members of Avondale Moose Lodge feed and clothe the less fortunate in Downtown Phoenix. Ryan McGarry, a member of Avondale’s Loyal Order of Moose and CEO of P4P Construction, attended these events with his family and decided to get the employees at his new construction company involved as well. A group of around 25 Moose Lodge members, P4P Construction employees and their families came together for the first time on Jan. 23, providing around 200 homeless people with meals, clothing, blankets, pillows as well as medical and hygiene supplies. “From a business aspect, we’re not a million-dollar company, but it’s the feeling of making a difference and helping,” McGarry said. Founded in August, P4P Construction is a veteran-owned company in Buckeye specializing in residential, commercial and industrial services. The two organizations’ goal is to attract other local businesses to join them in future events to help grow and expand their network of volunteers, also to gather more funding and donations. The next charity event will be held at the end of March. Lisa Bristol, an elected member of The Women of the Moose, said she sees how grateful people are to receive the donations each time she participates in these events.
“It does make you feel good knowing that you made their day a little brighter,” she said. The conjoined efforts started early that morning in the Avondale Moose Lodge kitchen. Volunteers came together at 7 a.m. to prepare meals consisting of sandwiches, Gatorade bottles as well as snacks like fruit and chips. After the meals were prepared, volunteers made their way to Downtown Phoenix and started setting up folding tables full of clothes, food and other supplies in front of Gallery 119 located on West Jefferson Street and South 11th Avenue. The gallery’s owners have allowed the volunteers to use the site to distribute goods during these events for a long time over the years, Bristol said. “We had so many clothes, blankets and pillows. It was almost like a shopping spree for them,” McGarry said. There were clothes left over at the end of the event. “A lot of them sit there and chat with us and have a conversation. It’s really cool,” McGarry said. He mentioned a woman who stayed and chatted with the volunteers the entire time they were passing out materials, saying, “It seemed like it made her day.” This event was “really rewarding,” Bristol said. She’s seen the events grow bigger and more successful as time goes on, with more people joining and more donations being collected. The Women of the Moose have been doing these events for approximately five years, she said. “It started out with our members donating items,” she said. As the years went on, Bristol said she began reaching

The Avondale City Council OK’d the building of an apartment complex and the rezoning of 7 acres of land at its monthly meeting on Feb. 1. Developer Sharat Kanaka’s Nirvana at Harbor Shores is a proposed 172unit multifamily residential apartment development at McDowell Road and Harbor Shores Boulevard. The proposed development will have nine buildings with 97 one-bedroom apartments and 75 two-bedroom apartments. It will also contain many amenities, including a garden, fireplace and fitness area. The property will be near Copper Springs health care facility as well as a BioLife Plasma Services building and the Avondale Fire and Rescue Station. The new development will be in the Pendergast Elementary School District and the Tolleson Union High School District service areas. The closest schools will be Rio Vista Elementary School for students in K-8 and West Point High School. To approve the apartment complex, the council voted unanimously to change the zoning from local commercial to high-density residential. However, a few
of the councilmembers were concerned with the lack of a sidewalk to allow pedestrians to walk safely to 107th Avenue. According to the city council report, “if a connection were provided, the developer would need to work with the owner of the adjacent BioLife Plasma Services to design and construct a pedestrian connection from the west edge of Nirvana at Harbor Shores” The presenter of the plan, Shaine T. Alleman, said there isn’t a need for a traffic signal at the intersection of McDowell Road and Harbor Shores Boulevard, but the city council members clarified that a traffic light will be installed in the next one to four years. As for the community, one Avondale resident, Dave Keller, spoke during the meeting to say that he was not on board with the decision as he does not want his view of the mountain blocked. City Councilman Mike Pineda said he empathizes with him, but most resRobson at PebbleCreek Reserve at PebbleCreek idents were in support of it, Robson judging Reserve from a neighborhood meeting.

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS
MARGULIES’ OPINION — jimmymargulies.com
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Contact your reps Editor: Twin bills are being introduced in the Arizona Legislature to prevent nuisance lawsuits against agriculture operations. HB 2372 is sponsored by Rep. Tim Dunn. SB 1224 is sponsored by Sen. Sine Kerr. Both of our elected officials are personally involved in agriculture businesses. A brief outline of the bill’s content: • No one can file a nuisance lawsuit against the agriculture operation unless their property is within a half-mile from the source of the nuisance. • Lawsuits cannot be filed if the agricultural operation is established over one year, regardless of any change in their ownership, size, practice or the products produced. Basically, that means if a 50-acre field of cotton is grown, the ownership can change, and they can increase the size of the farm and put in a hog farm. For those of us living in the Tonopah and Arlington areas, we are well aware of the flies and stench that have traveled from Hickman’s Family Farms. One of our main Tonopah businesses, Saddle Mountain RV Park, has closed. Please contact Rep. Dunn and Sen. Kerr as soon as possible. Sandy Larson Tonopah
Insurrection
Editor: True, the overall reaction to the attempted insurrection that occurred on Jan. 6 was a good one. There was consensus that if those who were at the Capitol had been Black, they would have been either beaten or killed. But although establishing this truth after that tragic day is beneficial — it provides credence to the injustice
Black men and women face — we have forgotten another sad truth that the attempted insurrection brings out, namely, that revolutions are no longer dignified. This cannot be overlooked. Revolutions have a special place in America. As Bertrand Russell point out in his essay “Power,” “This difficulty is inherent in every authority that owes its origin to revolution. It must maintain that the original revolution was justified, and it cannot, logically, contend that all subsequent revolutions must be wicked.” Considering how American began, we must accept that revolutions are right — at least to some degree. The attempted insurrection, however, prevents that. Indeed, after the attempted insurrection, revolutions in the United States lost their status. Unsurprisingly, revolutions attempted out of false information falsifies the dignity of revolutions. Having been supported unsoundly, the attempted insurrection degraded revolutions. Having been condemned thoroughly, the attempted insurrection drained the influence of revolutions. In the future of this country, the people might have to fight for what is right. They will not succeed in the slightest. They will try to correct the government, only for that to go nowhere. Ruben Martinez Garcia Tolleson
Vaccinations
Editor: “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity. I am not sure about the universe.” Albert Einstein (1879-1955) Some people! Some people feel it is their individual, God-given right to refuse the COVID-19 vaccination or
even to default to First Amendment rights. Some people feel that they will incur a high risk of allergic reactions if they get vaccinated. Some people cite religious beliefs, sanitary reasons or even political bias as their compelling arguments to reject injections. Some people feel that pharmaceutical companies cannot be trusted and think they only want to sell their products, regardless of the impact on individuals. These emotionally driven theories are everywhere: at the water cooler, in phone conversations and on the ubiquitous information highway — on social media, on broadcast news and in print. Some people… Some people are dead wrong. Clearly, history points out that some people were outraged at the idea of being injected with cowpox blisters to protect them from the deadly smallpox virus. Even theologians felt it was against God’s will. Since then, we, as a collective society, have overcome fear and have conquered diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, rabies, measles, mumps, rubella as well as polio, which my mother contracted at age 12 in 1926. Centuries after smallpox, the incessant wave of opposition continues to elevate the rights of individual liber-
ties above the importance of our collective public health needs. Opponents say they will wait for “herd immunity.” Poppycock! Our finest scientists have proven the vaccine to be safe. We must all believe in science. We must move on together — now! “Some people” must decide that being vaccinated is not an individual right; it is something that all of us (who can) must do to protect ourselves from each other. There are those close friends and acquaintances of yours and of mine who have fallen prey and have listened to the persistent noise of various conspiracy theories. We must respect their right to their own opinions, but when it comes to ignoring this societal cry for a united front against this deadly virus, COVID-19, it is lunacy to be part of the fringe who try to negate and ignore this crucial juncture in our civilization. The time is now. Step up, “some people!” Herd immunity may happen in the distant future, but it might be too late for some of us who would like to live long enough to meet our great-grandchildren. Dr. Susan Montjar Goodyear

Protests?
Editor: Watching news coverage of what is happening in cities in the Northwest. How long will we tolerate and allow insurrections… um, I mean riots… um, I mean violent protests… um, I mean peaceful protests… OK, OK… freedom of expression. If we can’t even define it, how can we deal with it? Lynne Cole Goodyear
Out of hiding?
Editor: Well, now Crooked Hillary came out of hiding since Biden managed to get into the Oval Office to give her 2 cents on Trump’s departure. She has the gall to say that Trump’s phone records should be checked to see if he had a phone conversation with Putin during the riot at the Capitol. It doesn’t matter to her that the Russian “collusion” has been put to rest long ago by Mueller. That witch hunt was exposed during the last impeachment scam. Isn’t she the one who used a personal email account to transmit confidential government emails via an unsecure server? Isn’t she the one who took a hammer to several of her government cellphones and destroyed government property when she found out that somebody discovered she “destroyed” 30,000 emails? Isn’t she the one who said, “What does it matter?” when the American ambassador to Libya was murdered when she refused to send in the military to try to rescue him? It’s no secret how much President Trump loved and defended our military members in uniform. After Biden’s inauguration with 25,000 troops patrolling Washington, when the news broke that the National Guard troops were resting in a parking garage with only a two-stall restroom and one-phone charging station, former President Trump came to the rescue for his beloved troops. He offered them to stay at his Trump hotel in Washington free of charge, ’cause that’s the kind of guy he is. For the Democrats to offer a parking garage to our troops in the middle of winter for protecting our Capitol is de-
spicable. Now, 150 of them, as of this writing, are COVID-19 positive. Way to go, Biden! Biden’s inauguration speech promised “unity.” His form of “unity” has not a single Republican in his administration. His media has taken away freedom of speech from every single Republican. Twitter, Google, Facebook, Parler, NY Times, Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, just to get to the tip of the iceberg. The First Amendment is now owned and operated by the Democratic Party. The smiles on the faces for this accomplishment are now China, Russia, Venezuela, Cuba and North Korea. They managed to accomplish all this without firing one bullet. I suggest that all of you go to babble.com and choose the language you now prefer as your main language. English will very soon be where you press No. 5. This becomes more biblical every day. James Logan Buckeye
Theater Editor:
Apparently for Democrats, impeachment means accusing former President Trump of crimes that he has no opportunity to defend. In their recent unprecedented haste to impeach President Trump, they simply canceled any discussion or arguments that may have vindicated the president. Did President Trump really incite armed insurrection by using figurative language (a very high bar to prove)? Or was he simply concerned about voter integrity and stating what Sen. Ted Cruz was ready to present to the Supreme Court that there was massive evidence of election fraud and irregularities? Protesting election outcomes is nothing new, and the Democrats were quite vociferous about it after the 2016 election. That’s when they insisted on numerous recounts and encouraging electors to change their votes to Hillary Clinton. Apparently, now saying the election was less than honest is “seditious.” The tragedy of what happened at the Capitol on Jan. 6 was due more to poor crowd control that led to a riot that President Trump condemned. Indeed,
at the rally, President Trump urged the crowd to go to the Capitol building and protest “peacefully” and “patriotically” — a First Amendment right. Rioting, however, on the left by groups like Antifa and BLM is rarely condemned by Democrats. Not to be constrained by the Constitution, the Democrats have decided to impeach and convict a president no longer in office — never done before. Under Article 1, Section 3: “When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside.” Chief Justice Roberts will not preside, because he knows the impeachment is not constitutional and, thus, he will not be a party to it. Professor Alan Dershowitz, preeminent constitutional scholar, called the trial “political theater” and a “show trial” and also did not want to be a party to the farce. Sen. Rubio stated the trial is “stupid” and “counterproductive.” So much for promoting unity, unless of course unity means repenting of being a Trump supporter and going along with all executive orders President Biden signed on his first day in office and accepting the leftist agenda that will transform

OPINION
No reason for pride with Arizona’s sixth ‘C’ 10
BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ West Valley View Columnist
In Arizona’s formative years — say before the Valley constructed an actual freeway system — the state’s economy and reputation rested on what early Arizonans called “the Five Cs.” Copper, cattle, cotton, citrus and climate were mainstays in these parts, and people were proud of it. Now it’s 2021, and while Arizona’s weather remains a huge deal, some of the other Cs are withering. Cattle, which once comprised half the Arizona economy, is down to a modest 5%. We also used to grow most of the world’s Pima cotton. Today? Arizona accounts for only about 2% of the global supply. Fear not, however. Arizona has an abundance of a new C I’d like to add to the mix — crazies. I’ve been chronicling this state’s culture and newsmakers since 1995, and if
WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | FEBRUARY 10, 2021
there’s one thing you can be sure of, it’s this: Whenever some big national story involving insane behavior erupts, Arizona will make news. Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber? Of course, he lived in a Kingman trailer park. Hani Hanjour, one of the 9/11 hijackers? Of course, he got flight training in Mesa. Sexual predator and Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein begets the #MeToo movement? Of course, he goes to sex addiction rehab in Wickenburg. And of course, when a bunch of morons stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6, the idiot front and center — the 33-year-old shirtless “shaman” sporting buffalo horns, a fur headdress and red, white and blue face paint — had to hail from the Valley. You may have heard about Jake Angeli, “the QAnon Shaman” whose given name is Jacob Chansley. Once a student at Moon Valley High School, Angeli became a regular at political protests in metro Phoenix over the
past two years. He often carried a sign that said “Q Sent Me” and spouted lots of conspiracy nonsense. An unemployed actor by trade, Angeli owns an online business called Star Seed Academy, where for $55.55 you can take a “Spiritual Self Defense Course” and learn “How to Create Healing Plant Remedies for Illness & Gain Plant Spirit Allies.” I’m guessing someone has been a little too closely allied with magic mushrooms and weed for the last 15 years. Even addled, Angeli managed to become one of the faces of the Capitol raid, pictured at the dais in the Senate, using a bullhorn to lead his fellow Looney Tunes in prayer. Angeli even left a note for then-Vice President Mike Pence: “It’s only a matter of time. Justice is coming.” Speaking of justice, while Angeli awaits his day in court — he faces six felonies and 28 years in prison — he’s apparently been on a hunger strike. Who knew shamans only ate organic food? That’s how Angeli and his lawyer explained it to a federal judge during a
Feb. 3 court demanding that the D.C. Department of Corrections adhere to Angeli’s dietary needs. Eating “non-organic food,” Angeli’s lawyer argued, “which contains unnatural chemicals, would act as an ‘object intrusion’ onto his body and cause serious illness if he were to eat it.” Naturally — pun intended — Judge Royce Lamberth ruled in Angeli’s favor. So be it. Give the man his organic chow, stat. In a very Arizona twist to this tale, we ought to ship the hometown antihero one of his home state’s staple crops to help him gain back the 20 pounds Angeli claims to have lost. Few things are more organic than pecans and pistachios. A study last year by the University of Arizona detailed that these tasty crops now account for nearly $100 million in annual economic impact. That’s hardly a surprise. It’s Arizona. We grow nuts here. David Leibowitz has called the Valley home since 1995. Contact david@leibowitzsolo.com

Macayo’s spices things up for its 75th anniversary BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI West Valley View Executive Editor
Nava Singam has been in the restaurant business for most of his life. But when he purchased the Macayo’s Mexican Food brand two years ago, he continued the chain’s love affair with the Valley. “It’s a legacy brand to me,” Singam said. “You don’t see very many restaurants that have been around for 50, 75 years. This brand will really carry a lot of history down the line. Even 40 or 50 years down the line, somebody is going to look back and try to trace its roots back to Phoenix when it opened.” The seven-restaurant chain is celebrating its 75th anniversary on Sept. 26. However, it’s celebrating throughout 2021 by introducing new specials the 26th of each month. “We’re honored and grateful to have been a part of families’ traditions and celebrations every day and on special occasions for 75 years,” said Singam, who owns Kind Hospitality. “We aim to continue to be the place
where people come to enjoy a traditional Mexican meal and a great experience and to provide the delicious food that people bring into their own homes for many more years to come.” Macayo’s kicked off the milestone year with specials such as 75-cent crispy tacos starting Jan. 26, and it continues with 75-cent cheese enchiladas beginning Feb. 26 and 75-cent cheese crisps from March 26. Those are three of the many appetizers, entrees and desserts Singam kept on the menu when he acquired the brand. The changes were more organic, he said. “We’re not trying to change the brand,” Singam said. “The brand was around for 73 years when we picked it up. There was no need to change it. “What we need to do is make sure that the newer generation understands what Macayo’s is all about. That’s what we’re trying to gravitate to. The menu is the same. The recipes are the same. In fact, when we bought the brand, we took everybody on our team.” The portions were just as important

to Singam. He wanted to serve enough food for guests to have leftovers. “That’s No. 1,” he said with a smile. “When you think of Macayo’s, you think of big meals. We want to make sure they’re getting value. We made sure the plating was correct. We revisited the training manuals. We visited our stores and retrained everybody so the service levels would be the same.” Besides its service, Macayo’s is known for its chimichanga, which the restaurant will celebrate on Sept. 26, National Chimichanga Day. The Chimi de Macayo ($13.99) comes with shredded beef, chicken or carnitas, and relleno sauce, crispy flour tortilla, sour cream and rice or refried beans. Singam is planning to expand the brand this year to meet the demand for food at Macayo’s. He’s already inked a deal for a restaurant at Pima Crossing in Scottsdale. Singam is committed to opening a Macayo’s at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport. He’s also considering Queen Creek, Gilbert/Chandler and Buckeye. A pandemic-era expansion is a bold move. Expansion wasn’t his primary concern, however. “The biggest concern for us was safety,” Singam said. “Once everybody knew that we were really being cautious about how we delivered the food and how we control the restaurant’s environment, I think folks really gravitated to us. “I’m thankful that we had the 6,000-square-foot dining rooms, because when we cut to 50% occupancy,
that’s still quite a number of customers. That’s really been helping us.” Macayo’s was helping others, too. The staff took food to hospitals, first responders and grocery stores every day. “Everyone appreciated what we did,” he said. Every Macayo’s delivered food for up to 20 people. I think the community has blessed us back for coming and visiting us. So, I think pivoting in so many ways was critical. But I think we pivoted toward humanistic values more than anything.” Singam is looking forward to the Sept. 26 anniversary. He hopes patrons will, too. “We hope we’re going to be around for the next 75 years,” he said. “We’re just appreciating everything that our customers have done throughout the last 75 years.”

Dylan Mapston is more than a high school student. He’s a leader in his community. A 16-year-old California native, Dylan attends The Odyssey Institute for Advanced and International Studies in Buckeye and is the creator of Keepers Care for Kids, a foundation that helps youth struggling with painful and sometimes life-threatening situations. Dylan began his foundation when he was 13 years old. Two of his aunts — one on his paternal and maternal side — were diagnosed with breast cancer. Dylan showed his support by wearing a pink jersey to his soccer games. Shortly thereafter, his then-2-year-old cousin, Cheyenne, was diagnosed with

a cancerous tumor on her spine. After seeing a video of her looking through a toy bin at the hospital, Dylan collected as many donations and toys as he could. Cheyenne is doing well and has beat her cancer, Dylan said. She’s in phase four of her recovery and is still going through rehab. She hasn’t lost her strength or her sense of humor. Keepers Care for Kids donated to the Diamond Children’s Medical Center in Tucson, the Doernbecher Children’s Hospital in Portland, and Phoenix Children’s Hospital. In its third year, Keepers Care for Kids has expanded beyond patients diagnosed with cancer. Dylan said he wants to help children going through any tough situation. “Now, we do kids who struggle with abuse and other stuff that’s not really limited to hospitals,” Dylan said. “(We’re) making sure we get a large range of kids who are going through stuff that normal kids don’t.” Dylan also described what caused him to want to reach out to foster kids and children who have dealt with abuse. “It was more of a personal experience,” Dylan said. “A few friends of mine have gone through abuse and other stuff, and it’s really tough to see them through that. We started gathering toys and stuffed animals for kids, and it was so great to see them happy and it gave me more knowledge of what they go through.” Not only has Dylan gathered donations
through his Keepers Care for Kids foundation, but he has also started his Clean Sheets for Cancer campaign that raises money toward cancer research. According to Dylan, the campaign raised about $2,000 in 2019 and an additional $1,500 last year. A “clean sheet” is when a goalie does not allow any goals to be scored throughout an entire match. The participants donate $1 for every save and $5 for every clean sheet. A few years ago, Dylan met with Phoenix Rising goalkeeper Zac Lubin to

discuss his charitable work and how he could get involved. “Zac came by and I told him about what I was doing and then he said, ‘You know what? Let me help,’ and then we always had that relationship,” Dylan said. “Over the two years I’ve known him, he’s helped more; and some of his teammates came out and donated toys, and we always had fun donating money for cancer.” Dylan continues to receive support from local soccer players like Lubin and wants to set an example for other young athletes so they can make an impact on their community. “I want to help a lot more of the younger goalkeepers to understand why it is so important for the community of soccer,” Dylan said. “It’s not a single sport; it is a group of kids for one cause. I’m making sure that every kid can play and making sure that no matter what the score is, you still have fun. “I’m just trying to make the community a better place.”

Andrei Bank leads Trivium soccer through new challenges
BY ZAKKARY BROG
West Valley View Staff Writer
Trivium boys soccer coach Ernie Santa Cruz has strong words to describe his player Andrei Bank. “It’s his heart and determination that propel him to the top,” Santa Cruz said. “He’s our workhorse. He is what gets us going. He’s the motivational leader.” Now in his fourth season as a varsity player, Bank feels his leadership skills have improved during his years as a Crimson Knight. “As a freshman, I was coming in from middle school and being the most athletic or whatever,” Bank said. “But then, I realized that my mind of the game and my physicality also improved. As the team has changed with players coming and going, I’ve learned to become more of a team player and just be there for everybody.” Bank has been a supportive
teammate before this season. On top of also participating with the club team Phoenix Premier FC, for whom he also plays under Santa Cruz, he took initiative. He took it upon himself to organize team practices when it was uncertain if games were to be played during the pandemic. “He would come from my club practices and work with the kids,” Santa Cruz said. “He wants to have a great senior year. We have big goals here this year, and he knew that’s what it was going to take.” “Everybody has to go through it together,” Bank added. “I know it’s hard running with the mask and adjusting to that. But I think everybody’s doing really well.” Bank scheduled practices to help Trivium play well against its tough schedule. The Crimson Knights are classified as 3A in the AIA, two levels lower than
many of the teams they will face, such as the Verrado Vipers and Millennium Tigers. “Even though we go to a small school and we don’t get the biggest choice of a team, we’re still able to come prepared and play against these big schools,” Bank said. “People are going to recognize once the game starts that he’s one of the better players on the field,” Santa Cruz said. “He’ll rise to that occasion.” After his senior season, Bank will continue his education and soccer career at Occidental College in Los Angeles. While he is excited about the change, his endearment of Trivium will never diminish. “I’m always going to love this school,” he said. “I love the people that are here. I love the team.” —Staff writer Zakkary Brog can be reached at zbrog@timespublications.com

He held an unbreakable bond with his siblings and was devastated to have lost each one. Today we hope he has been reunited with Mama and Papa and all 13 brothers and sisters in heaven. Dickie was survived by his children; Richard, Mary Ann, Carmen, Norma, Emily, Ronnie, Henry, Michael, Tessa, 29 grandchildren, 39 great-grandchildren and his "Shaun". I don't think he knew everyone's name, but he always stood up to greet whoever walked through the door. Dickie was a hardworking man who held many occupations from truck driver to union steward at Greyhound, but he was mostly known as a musician. He loved music. Dickie had an ear for music. He could pick up a guitar or piano and play songs just by listening. He loved to sing and was GOOD at it! And people loved to listen. Our hope as a family is that today, he sings a new song unto the Lord. Dickie wasn't the perfect man, but The Bible says "no man is good, no not one", but if you asked Dickie who his best friend was, he'd tell you "The Holy Spirit". Dickie was called many things, dad, daddy, tata, brother, uncle, friend, but most importantly he was called loved. You are already missed Dickie, but we hope to be reunited with you in paradise. Seguro Que Yes.
