Kallie’s day consists of her core classes, including math, English, language arts, science, social studies, as well as social skills. She said she enjoys singing, dancing, and playing outside with her friends.

Jessie Bustamante, ACCEL’s chief development officer, said Kallie’s story is a testament to her and her family’s dedication and commitment to seeing her succeed.

“This is a unique scenario. Kallie is truly doing so well to have this modified independence,” Bustamante said. “We only have three students out of 250 that have this, so this is definitely unique. To a typical student it might seem normal, but for our population who have their own unique challenges, this is huge. So we’re excited to celebrate this.”

Robert Michael Ince

On Wednesday February 9, 2022, Longtime West Valley resident, 82 year old Robert Michael Ince passed away with his loving family at his bedside, due to complications from Covid 19. Born in Detroit, Michigan to Grace and Robert B. Ince, Bob and his family moved to Central Phoenix in 1944. Bob attended grade school in the Phoenix Union elementary district and graduated from West High School in 1957. Bob also attended Phoenix College. In 1960, Bob married his sweetheart Carole Campbell, a marriage that spanned over 61 years. Together they raised two children, Patti Graham (Gary), and Robert Z. Ince (Debbie). Bob was a fireman for the City of Phoenix, a career that he loved, spanning 27 years. Bob formed many friendships during his years in the fire service, serving side by side with those friends in many life saving incidents. Bob was recognized by those peers as Arizona Firefighter of the year in 1972 as a result of his role in the rescue of three of his crew members from a burning building roof collapse incident.

Many of those structures are still standing and in use today. Bob also was involved in west valley youth sports as a little league and football coach for many years. In retirement, Bob and wife Carole were able to fully enjoy their love of horses. Bob was an avid team roper, participating in local events as well as in events in Northern Arizona and the Pacific Northwest. Deep lasting friendships within the equine-roping community enriched their retirement years and brought considerable joy and happiness to Bob and Carole. Bob's passing leaves many saddened hearts, but Bob would tell you he led a very fulfilling life. He accomplished a lot and left this world a better place. Rest in Peace Cowboy, your work here is through. Bob is survived by his loving wife Carole, daughter Patti Graham (Gary), son Robert Z.

Stuart L. Anderson

Stuart (Stu) Lee Anderson passed on February 3, 2022, at the age of 81. He is survived by his beloved wife of 60 years, Carol S. Anderson; his three children, Becky A. Hill, Margie Joy (Leif), and J.D. Anderson (Rachel); his five grandchildren, Ellen Hill, Isabella Anderson, Addie Joy, Charlie Anderson, and Mason Anderson; his two sisters Marcia L. Wheat (Ron) and Tammy S. Ogilvie (David); a large extended family and countless friends. Stu was born August 3, 1940, in Tucson, Arizona to H. Lynn Anderson and Marjorie (McKinney) Anderson. His early childhood was spent on numerous cattle ranches throughout Arizona, which his father managed for Western Farm Management. His first years of schooling were in a one-room schoolhouse on Eagle Creek near Clifton, Arizona. He spent his formative years on his family’s farm in the western Phoenix Valley, where he learned to grow a multitude of crops and spent summers working at the Willows Ranch, east of Kingman, Arizona. It was while tending crops and livestock that Stu developed a love for the land. He attended Agua Fria Union High School, graduating in 1958, and then attended the University of Arizona (UofA), graduating in 1963 with a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Education and two minors: Animal Science and Agricultural Engineering. While at the UofA, Stu enrolled in the Air Force ROTC and was commissioned into the armed services upon graduation. Stu served his country in the United States Air Force from 1963 thru 1968. Stu was stationed in Austin at the time of the Kennedy assassination, and in 1964-1965, had the honor to be on a Special Assignment as the Officer in Charge of the Presidential Transportation Affairs for President, Lyndon B. Johnson. His next duty assignment took him to Germany. Stu achieved the rank of Captain at the time of his honorable discharge. Following his career with the Air Force, he resumed his career as a rancher at the Willows Ranch. He managed the Willows Ranch for over 30 years, where he developed 500 acres of rangeland into irrigated pastures, executed a rest rotational grazing system that allowed Willow Creek to revegetate into the lush stream it currently is, and improved the cattle herd genetics. After Stu “retired” from ranching, he worked in construction and was the “go-to-guy” for projects because Stu was known for doing a job well. After he fully retired, he became even more active in community service and poured his heart and energy into his second family, the Kingman Route 66 Rotary Club Stu maintained a strong commitment to community service and was genuinely the happiest when he was serving others. He was an active member of the Kingman Route 66 Rotary Club, the Kingsmen, the Kingman Elks Club, and the Kingman Masonic Lodge. He held memberships and offices with the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, Arizona Cattlemen’s Association, Mohave Livestock Association, Mohave Livestock Marketing Association, the Kingman Area Chamber of Commerce, Arizona Town Hall, Project CENTRL, Mohave Utilities Commission, Boys & Girls Club of Kingman, and more. He received a congressional appointment to the Phoenix District Bureau of Land Management Advisory Council and received gubernatorial appointments to serve on the Arizona Beef Council and the Arizona Riparian Advisory Committee. He had other political appointments as he served on the Mohave County Extension Advisory Committee by appointment of the Mohave County Board and Supervisors and was on NAFTA Trade Corridor Committee by appointment of the City of Kingman Mayor and City Council. Stu was elected to the Mohave County Community College Board of Governors and served on this board for over 22 years, being re-elected multiple times. His biggest source of pride was his family. He always encouraged his children and grandchildren to pursue their dreams and education and accepted nothing less from them but to give their absolute best effort in everything they did. Hard work, discipline, perseverance, and integrity are ingrained family values. Stu received many awards and honors. He was a Boy Scouts of America, and an Eagle Scout. Other awards include the University of Arizona Lifetime Achievement Award, Founders Award from Mohave County Community College (MCC), The Paul Harris Fellow Award by the Rotary Foundation of Rotary International, Distinguished Service Citation from Rotary International, Rotary Hero from Rotary District #5495, FFA State Farmer Degree, Outstanding Service Award from Arizona Society for Range Management, Elder Statesman Award of Route 66 Rotary, and the naming of the Stuart L. and Carol Anderson Student Services Building at MCC, as well as others. In the spirit of Stu’s love for education and service, the family is asking instead of flowers, please donate to either: Route 66 Rotary Club P.O. Box 166, Kingman, AZ 86402 Or University of Arizona Foundation With H. Lynn and Marjorie M. Anderson Family Scholarship Fund written in the memo line Mail to: Development and Alumni Forbes 325 P.O. Box 210036, Tucson, AZ 85721-0036 To honor Stu’s love of the outdoors, a Celebration of Life Service is to be held Sunday, May 29, 2022, at 2:00 pm, in Kingman, AZ, at Hualapai Mountain Park, Recreation Area #1.
