The Voice of the West Valley for 32 years

February 28, 2018

Attorney: Montenegro exploited GOP staffer By West Valley View staff Former State Sen. Steve Montenegro’s flirtatious text messages groomed a young GOP digital media coordinator for a potential sexual relationship, according to the woman’s lawyer, Tom Ryan, in a press conference. “I’m here to talk on behalf of a woman who was taken advantage of by one of the most powerful men sitting in the state senate: Steve Montenegro,” said Ryan of his client, Stephanie Holford. In a statement read by Ryan, Holford said the messages began strictly professional but became increasingly flirtatious. Holford also revealed she sent multiple photos “in various states of undress,” and Montenegro, of Litchfield Park, had turned conversations to Snapchat. “We engaged in sexual conversation about these pictures. These conversations were detailed and intimate,” Holford said through her statement. The conversations and images, however, are now gone, as Snapchat stores the images only temporarily. According to Ryan, the relationship never became physical, and it eventually “fizzled out.” Montenegro is a Republican candidate

BLM temporarily closes popular recreational area By Connor Dziawura A controversial patch of desert near Buckeye used for recreational activities is now off limits, per a recent order from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Following months of recurring damage to an above-ground fiber-optic line, the January 14 death of pregnant 24-year-old woman Kami Gilstrap by stray bullet and outrage from Buckeye residents over its close proximity to Westpark, the BLM Phoenix District temporarily closed 1,034 acres of land along the Tonopah Salome Highway last week. The closure will “ensure public safety”

and “address damage to critical West Valley telecommunications infrastructure,” according to Mariela Castaneda, spokeswoman for the BLM Phoenix District. The region north of I-10 and west of Miller Road was popular with target shooters and off-road vehicle drivers, the former of which drew concerns surrounding its lack of safety regulation and enforcement. Signage informing recreational target shooters to follow proper safety protocols was often ignored. The carelessness led to Gilstrap’s death on municipal land, and more than 40 instances of Cox Communications’ fiber-

optic line failures in the last year. “We continue to work closely with the Buckeye Police Department as they investigate the fatality at the site,” said a BLM statement. “Our top priority is always the safety of sportsmen and families who use public lands. The BLM received an application from a local telecommunications utility (Cox) to address issues with infrastructure at the site prior to the fatality in January. When deciding to temporarily close the site, the BLM considered all of these factors.”

BLM...continued from page 1 The closure comes days after Westpark residents complained about the desert shooting, though demands were for a full shooting ban. Neighbors complained about gunfire and Tannerite explosions during a February 15 meeting at Inca Elementary School. The temporary closure, however, was already in negotiations prior to Gilstrap’s death in January and the subsequent resident complaints. The closure’s duration depends on how long it’ll take to conduct the necessary repairs and improvements. BLM and Cox Communications are looking to repair power lines and bury the fiber-optic line, which provides telecommunications service to Tartesso and Festival Ranch, under an existing 69kV transmission and telephone line. Region clean-ups and a long-term management agreement will also be coordinated. “You have to remember, this is a temporary closure,” said Buckeye Police Chief Larry Hall. “Once we get those lines in the ground, at that point we really need to work out a strategy to determine how we’re going to go forward on what that area is to be used for.”

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | FEBRUARY 28, 2018

A joint partnership between BLM, the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office and the Buckeye Police Department, which began January 14, is still a “critical component” of enforcing the closure, according to Leon Thomas, BLM’s Phoenix district manager. He and Hall, however, said discussions are still being had on the required involvement of each respective law enforcement agency. Official penalties for violating the closure could include citations or worse. Trial by United States Magistrate and fines of up to $1,000 or imprisonment of up to 12 months could be given to violators, though law enforcement is looking to take a lighter approach at first. “They’ve been able to do this so long that, in the beginning of this, we really want to take an educational approach and, when we do make contact with people that are out there, let them know that, ‘Hey, the area is closed and this is why,’” Thomas explained. “We’re not going to be heavy-handed about this at all in the beginning. We really want to educate the public as to why it’s been closed and try to create an ethic out there when it comes to how we want people to properly recreate in the area.” The fines are a “necessary component” to have for those who repeatedly disobey

rules, he said, though that’s not the starting goal for BLM. While the area is off limits to all but those with specialized permission, the Tonopah Salome Highway and North Parker Liberty Power Road are still accessible for individuals passing through. “Traffic passing through there is not an issue, it’s just when people start going off road over there and engaging in those activities, then that’ll closure signs line the area along Miller Road, be the issue,” Hall explained.

This goes beyond just target shooting.

POLICE BRIEFS By Connor Dziawura 1 dead after motorcycle crash in Goodyear Buckeye resident Kelly J. Puckett, 62, sustained critical head injuries and died following a single motorcycle crash at West McDowell Road and North Palm Valley Boulevard in Goodyear on Friday, February 16. Goodyear Police do not suspect excessive speed or impairment as being the cause, though the medical examiner will confirm this. Puckett is reported to have applied brakes suddenly and lost control due to inattention in traffic. No other vehicles were hit. One passenger, who was traveling with Puckett, was released from the hospital following treatment for nonlife-threatening injuries. “Goodyear Police believe helmets help save lives in case of a motorcycle crash and strongly encourage motorcyclists to always wear a helmet when riding,” said Lisa Kutis, spokeswoman for the Goodyear Police Department.

Vehicle burglary suspect arrested Phoenix resident Jessie Mancio, 18, was taken into custody and given several felony charges after a string of vehicle burglaries in Buckeye on February 16. The more than 15 burglaries in Buckeye’s Verrado community were the result of the vehicles being left unlocked, police said. A suspect vehicle was seen fleeing the scene following police response. The vehicle was found in Phoenix on February 20, and a court-authorized search warrant on the vehicle and Phoenix residence yielded stolen property from the aforementioned burglaries. Police officials remind residents to lock their vehicles.

Fenix Group offers programs for those with developmental disabilities By Lynette Carrington Ron Tilley has spent his professional career as a special education teacher and an executive for U.S. and Australian disability agencies. For him, supporting those with special needs is personal. In honor of his developmentally disabled sister, in 2010 he cofounded the bilingual Fenix Group, which focuses on programs for those with special needs. With offices in Avondale and Cave Creek, the Fenix Group has adult day programs, groupsupported employment, transportation, children’s after-school and summer programs, and respite and developmental homes. More than 250 adults and children are receiving assistance. “It’s a natural fit to what we’ve been doing for a long time,” Tilley said. In the 1960s, his sister was sent to an institution on the advice of teachers at her longtime elementary school. After the passage of Public Law 94-142 in 1976, or what is known as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, his sister returned home and became the first special education graduate from Tilley’s Your Smile is My Satisfaction

This is the Steel family. Their 6 children have received dental treatment with Doctor Guillermo for a little over 2 years. They come all the way from Texas. Dr. Guillermo Marquez is originally from Los Algodones and that’s one of the reasons he wanted to provide dental services to his community and others.

Oregon high school. He has been passionate about the cause since then. Fenix Group has proven to be successful. It has experienced tremendous growth in the last eight years, expanding from 30 to 80 staff members. Nineteen of its original staff remains. Fenix Group has also doubled the number of people it assists. “It speaks volumes of the dedication of our staff, our commitment to this population and what we’re doing here in the Valley,” Tilley said. His wife, Tris Tilley, with whom he moved to Arizona in 2004, shares his passion. “While we have grown exponentially, we make everyone feel special and no one gets lost in the shuffle,” she said. “We have very individualized services.” Although the programs may seem large, the trained and backgroundchecked staff is focused on giving oneon-one attention so clients can have fun and be active community members. Through the Fenix Group, they can volunteer at local food banks and senior living communities, and help families in domestic violence situations. “We love to get our clients out and into the community,” said Delmas Green, Fenix Group’s CEO. “For them to give back, it’s a win-win situation for both parties.” Green and Tilley are proud of Fenix Group’s vocational training program that boasts 100 participants. An on-campus café employs several individuals.

“That speaks volumes for them as individuals to be able to earn a check every month, have self-worth and develop vocational skills that will hopefully someday catapult them into mainstream employment,” Tilley said. “This is their space and it’s a cool place to hang out.” Building self-esteem, confidence and self-worth are paramount. To bolster those feelings, Fenix Group participants help maintain Loma Linda Park in Goodyear. “Part of the training is learning to get out and adapt to the community,” Green said. “Our team worked with the city of Goodyear and we adopted Loma Linda Park.” Tris added, “It is truly a privilege and an honor to be able to serve this community, particularly in this area. It has been wonderful to watch it grow,

Tolleson grad honored for TV news reporting

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski As a Tolleson Union High School student, Christine Devine yearned to become the face of local TV news. “I wanted to be the hometown girl in Phoenix,” Devine said. “But we don’t get to plan our destiny.” Devine’s journey was much grander than that. After graduating from ASU in 1987, she worked in Tucson and then headed to the Los Angeles Fox affiliate KTTV. Recently, the Radio and Television News Association of Southern California honored her with a lifetime achievement award at the 68th annual Golden Mike Awards. A 25-year TV news veteran, Devine has changed the lives of more than 700 kids in the foster care system through her weekly Wednesday’s Child segment. She also reported and anchored coverage of many of the region’s major news stories over recent years, from earthquakes and brush fires to crime and celebrity deaths and suicides. “When someone says they’re giving

you a lifetime achievement award, you step back for a second,” she said. “It seems premature for a ‘lifetime achievement award.’ You feel you’re not really ready for it because you’re doing the daily grind and still working full time. “However, I welcome any honor because I can talk about kids in foster care and adoption.”

Arizona girl Devine was born in Hamburg, New York, but moved to Arizona with her parents, who are educators and Peace Corps members. They encouraged her educational endeavors and hoped she would become a teacher. “I thought, ‘How about news?’” she said. “As reporters, we’re students of current events and that was that.” During her time at TUHS, her father, Dr. Jack Devine, served as principal. She was valedictorian, and was voted “Most Likely to Succeed.” That she did. She is in the Walter Cronkite School of Broadcast

Since 1943, every U.S. president has designated March as Red Cross Month to recognize how the Red Cross helps people across the country and around the world. Red Cross Month is a celebration of supporters who are the face of the Red Cross in their communities and bring hope to people facing emergencies. Blood donor Timothy Sheely knows the need firsthand. His wife required 12 units of blood during emergency surgery following the birth of their son. “If it had not been for blood donors, she might not have survived,” he said.

“Thanks to generous blood donors, I still have a wife and my kids still have their mom. I can’t possibly thank those people in person, but I can give a little piece of me back with each donation for the greater good.” The Red Cross depends on blood donor heroes across the nation to collect enough blood to meet the needs of patients at approximately 2,600 hospitals nationwide. Donors of all blood types, especially type O, are needed to help those rely on blood products. Make an appointment to become a hero to patients in need by downloading the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-RED-CROSS (1-800-733-2767). To help, simply download the

American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-7332767) to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements. Blood donors can save time at their next donation by using RapidPass to

complete their predonation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, prior to arriving at the blood drive. To get started and learn more, visit redcrossblood.org/RapidPass and follow the instructions on the site. Another way to support the lifesaving mission of the American Red Cross is to become a volunteer transportation specialist and deliver lifesaving blood products to local area hospitals. Volunteer transportation specialists play an important role in ensuring an ample blood supply for patients in need by transporting blood and blood products. For more information and to apply for a volunteer transportation specialist position, contact lisa.jenk@ redcross.org or visit rdcrss.org/driver.

Reagan. Responding to the press conference via statement on Facebook, Montenegro called Ryan “the Gloria Allred of Arizona,” adding “(Ryan) made a number of unfounded accusations, admitting that they were often things that he had no proof of, in an effort to sensationalize this story to do damage to me, my reputation, and my campaign. This was political theater and a pack of lies to effect (sic) this race.” Allred is a women’s rights attorney. Montenegro and Holford stopped speaking temporarily, but resumed after Franks’ resignation. “Sen. Montenegro wanted to make sure I was ‘cool’ and not going to be talking about our texting/snapping relationship. I assured him I did not want this to go public,” Holford’s

statement said. Through Holford and her attorney, it was alleged that multiple images and texts had been taken from Holford’s computer by Kent Lyons, an exboyfriend, without her knowledge and, subsequently, shopped around to the media. Because of Arizona law, “revenge porn” cases can result in felony charges, Ryan said. At print time, Lyons’ attorney, Jason Lamm, had not responded to the West Valley View’s request for comment. Initially, Montenegro called the accusations “tabloid trash” in a statement posted on his campaign Facebook Tuesday, February 20. “As a Hispanic conservative, I knew they would stop at nothing to prevent me from going to Washington, D.C., and fighting for the working families

of our district just like I fought for the people at the State Capitol,” the statement read. “They have always worked hard to stop me and I knew that this race would be no different. But I assumed the distortions would be limited to my votes or positions on issues.” A day later, however, Montenegro confirmed the existence of the text messages but denied any wrongdoing in an interview with The Washington Examiner. He said he did not solicit, or request, the photos. “I want you to know I did not have any inappropriate relationships with this woman,” Montenegro told The Washington Examiner. “At no time have I been inappropriately involved with any staffer – nor have I ever. I have not solicited inappropriate material via text message or any other message.”

for the Congressional District 8 special election. The primary was Tuesday, February 27, and results were not available as of press time. Calling himself a “proven conservative,” Montenegro is a Christian minister who is married with one child. He resigned from the senate and announced his CD8 campaign shortly after the surprise December 7 resignation of Rep. Trent Franks, who left his seat after receiving accusations of inappropriate workplace behavior. Prior to Montenegro’s brief 2017 senate position, he served on the state House of Representatives from 2009 to 2017. Before switching directions to vie for Franks’ absent CD8 seat, he was running a campaign against incumbent Republican Secretary of State Michele

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS

SMITH'S OPINION — Las Vegas Sun

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Vote Lesko Editor: Sometimes big things happen around us and we can be oblivious to it. Such a thing occurred in the last couple of years. It is one of the reasons Debbie Lesko was named 2016 “Senator of the Year” by the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry. She sponsored Public Safety Personnel Retirement System pension reform. It required a constitutional amendment. She got the police officers, firefighters, correction officers and probation officers on board. Majorities in both legislative chambers approved it. It went to statewide ballot and Arizonans overwhelming approved it. It is almost unheard of these days to successfully amend a state constitution, as the bar is so high. She did it. Getting this kind of consensus for pension reform is amazing. The public pension plan was financially unsustainable. The reform saved it. As of the latest data available, we are now the 10th lowest state for public pension obligations as a percentage of gross state product. We are the 20th lowest state for debt ratio. There are states that are drowning in debt ratio and public pension debt like New Jersey and Illinois. Unfortunately for them, they don’t have a Debbie Lesko to solve their pension problem. Debbie is the kind of hard-working, problem-solving, consensus builder, and results-oriented person we need in Washington to represent CD 8. Paul Mueller Peoria

It’s all about values Editor: The culture war is raging in America. It is between those who love and care about people and those who worship things. It’s all about values—our nation’s values and the love of our fellow man, woman and child. Our nation was not built on the values of a man who believes that he must have a gold toilet. The U.S. Marines who raised the flag on Iwo Jima and those who died in the battle leading up to that iconic

picture weren’t fighting for the values that are displayed by the gold toilet. They wanted to keep each other safe and liberate the islands in the South Pacific. They cared about each other. When people sing, “What a friend we have in Jesus,” they are thinking about how Jesus is celebrated for his help of the poor and feeding the hungry. Those are the values that are common to all religions and that Americans like to believe we were founded on. Those are the values we say we want to embrace today. Pride, patriotism, hard work, growing businesses, motherhood, apple pie and the flag. Did I miss any? Yes. Sitcoms. These are symbols not ends in themselves. When we extol motherhood but cut funds so that children go hungry and can’t get health care we don’t honor our country’s values. We make a mockery of those values. When we get excited by the pilots flying F-35 fighters and abandon the veterans who have served and fought and flown in our military, we make a mockery of those American values that we claim to hold dear. When we attack the press and attempt to curb its ability to report news, we violate the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and the freedom of speech that is so fundamental to whom we are. Some would like to say that progressive is a dirty word. It means in favor of progress. It’s the reason that we have those fighter planes. We were not content to confine transportation to a horse and buggy. Progressive is what brought us radio, television (that’s right, no sitcoms without progressives), central air conditioning and everything else that brought us out of the Stone Age. I am clear that even the richest among us can’t take it with them and that I will spend my time here working to make this a country that values and helps all of its people. These are the values that can be found among Democrats and we need to vote Democrats in at every level of government, if we want to see a government that is more responsive to our needs and more in tune with our values. Eileen Fein Goodyear

Send a message to the NRA Editor: Trent Franks’ CD8 seat is up for grabs, with primaries and elections coming soon. Jeff Knox of The Firearms Coalition wrote a long endorsement of Steve Montenegro in the February 14 West Valley View. His reason for the glowing recommendation? Montenegro’s A+ voting record given by the NRA. On February 14, the very same day that letter appeared in the West Valley View, a mass shooting occurred in a Florida high school, leaving 17 people dead and 14 injured. According to Jeff Knox, “several other candidates have received an ‘A’ grade from the NRA, but only Montenegro earned an A+” for going above and beyond the call in promoting the use of firearms. What does the NRA expect when it awards grades and doles out millions of dollars annually to politicians and candidates? Easy, the NRA expects the recipients to vote the way they are told to vote. They are buying votes. Oppose gun legislation and you receive tons of money for your campaign. Vote for gun legislation and the NRA will intimidate by organizing primary ads and opponents against you. Many millions of dollars are spent annually by the NRA to buy the votes of our elected representatives and millions more are spent on intimidation. One way to

change this corrupt system is to vote for candidates who are not in the pockets of the NRA, and reject candidates who have A+ ratings from the NRA. In fact, vote against any candidate at whatever level who takes money from the NRA. I’m so glad Jeff Knox pointed out that Montenegro earned himself an “A+” from the NRA because I won’t have to check his record. It is time for our elected representatives to tackle gun control. Let’s say goodbye to incessant hand-wringing and pointless prayers for the families of dead children and instead do something practical: use our votes in the coming elections to send a message to the NRA and the compliant politicians who enable this corrupt organization.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution to gun violence By David Leibowitz

Here’s a modest proposal, one that makes perfect sense in 2018, when our nation has never been more divided: Rather than an American flag colored red, white and blue, as we’ve had for going on 242 years, perhaps it’s time to change the Stars and Stripes to our new official colors. Black and white. I say that because every issue nowadays appears to be exactly that for most Americans – black or white, either-or, Republican or Democrat, conservative or liberal, pro or anti. With no issue is this more apparent than when it comes to the mass shootings that continue to occur at an unprecedented clip. How bad is it? America makes up five percent of the global population, yet over the past 50 years we have produced more than 30 percent of the world’s mass shooters. Our answer? So far, not a damn thing. That’s because every time a lunatic opens fire with an AR-15 in a school or a movie theater, a government building or a Las Vegas concert, we line up in two factions and scream at the top of our lungs.

October th 7th - 14 , 2018

On one side? Those who see gun of solutions that weaves together BOTH control alone as the answer – and the sensible gun-control laws AND better National Rifle Association mental-health screening and Second Amendment and services would be a diehards as the enemy.

The “you’ll become America’s weekly limit gun ownership over ritual: Wholesale slaughter my dead body” crowd. by killers who, in retrospect, They see mass shootings inevitably had not one not as a gun problem, but problem that required as a mental-health problem, solving, but two – access because “guns don’t kill to high-powered killing people, crazy people kill machines and serious mental people.” issues that could have been Here’s a news flash. Both red flags, but somehow got Leibowitz. (Photo missed, as was the case with sides are absolutely right.

Mass shootings are I can’t say with certainty that the exactly like every other complex social Parkland massacre would have been issue we face in America: Nuanced prevented by a comprehensive approach events determined by multiple causes, combining stricter gun laws – like impossible to prevent with a “one size forbidding the mentally ill from buying fits all” response.

No set of solutions will exhibited more red flags than a Soviet prevent every mass shooting. But a set military parade. But here’s what I can

say: Doing nothing is unacceptable. Yet that’s where we find ourselves, because of the societal and political gridlock created by our insistence on approaching mass gun killings in an exclusively “either-or” manner. The truth? We can continue to view this issue as black and white and do nothing. That approach will help political candidates stoke their bases and attract votes, but it will not stanch the flow of blood in our streets, schools and public spaces. Or we can open our minds to the complexity of this issue and do what America used to do, back when we weren’t simply a collection of red states and blue states united by little more than geography, 325 million partisans who would rather make Facebook posts than save lives. We used to solve problems in this country. Now, screaming is what we do best. And funerals. Because we’ve had so much practice. – David Leibowitz has called the Valley home since 1995.

Business Briefcase

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | FEBRUARY 28, 2018

By Connor Dziawura

Hello, everyone. Welcome back to another rousing edition of Business Briefcase where I bring you all the greatest new or improved businesses, and events that can perhaps help you improve your own business! As there is much to discuss this week, I’m not going to linger on any initial notes this time around. Well, let’s get on with it, shall we? Here’s the news! First, King Koil announced a new 90,000-square-foot mattress manufacturing facility to begin operations soon in Avondale. The facility is projected for an April launch, and will initially employ 50 people. “I am proud to have the city of Avondale chosen as home to King Koil’s first manufacturing facility,” said Avondale Mayor Kenn Weise. “King Koil strives to be ‘Best in Class’ in the mattress industry. That commitment and vision runs parallel to Avondale’s commitment to our residents and businesses. We know King Koil will be a quality manufacturer offering great jobs to Avondale residents and the West Valley.” King Koil recently announced plans to shift from a licensing structure to a direct-to-retail business model, and it formed a strategic partnership with Blue Bell Mattress. The new facility will serve the company’s western retail partners in Arizona, Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. “Our new King Koil factory is a key component of our new direct-to-retail manufacturing strategy,” said David Binke, chief executive officer of King Koil. “Designed and outfitted with

the latest machinery in the bedding industry, the Arizona factory will enhance our efficiency as we continue to implement our new platform. “By controlling our own manufacturing base, we’ll be able to be (sic) respond faster to our retail partners’ needs with a keen focus on helping them improve their margins on King Koil bedding sales.” It won’t just focus on manufacturing, though. Also on site will be plant management and customer service offices, as well as a “sophisticated” audio-visual conference room and a 2,500-square-foot showroom. Next, Credit Union West is participating in Military Saves Week, February 26 to March 2. The week of events, held by Military Saves with the Department of Defense’s (DOD) Financial Readiness Campaign, is a national campaign designed to help active duty military members ensure financial security. Credit Union West’s contributions include awareness banners near Luke Air Force Base, promotional offers and prizes. Luke AFB will be the site of multiple events throughout the week. Credit Union West will also hold two educational workshops, Understanding Your Credit Score and Tips for Vehicle Buying, at the Fighter Country Partnerships’ Financial Expo at the Wigwam Resort March 3. Additional expo resources include financial resources and workshops, and prizes. Active duty military and current Department of Defense cardholders are invited. “Helping military families learn

financial principles empowers them,” said Bob MacGregor, Credit Union West’s president and CEO. “And, giving them the resources to implement that knowledge allows them to build a more secure future. We’re proud to be a consistent contributor to Military Saves Week.” During the weeklong campaign, Military Saves and the DOD Financial Readiness Campaign offer educational information in an effort to inspire active duty military members to take the Military Saves pledge and set goals and a plan to save money. For more information on Military Saves week, visit militarysaves.org/ organizations/military-saves-week. On Monday, March 5, Lunch N Learn will return with a How Small Business Needs to be Protected focus. Set from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce event will feature a crash course from LegalShield Independent Associate Bea Wallace on the importance of having legal protection early on. Fellow Independent Associate Cassie Prinke will rejoin Wallace, and dessert and refreshments will also be provided. Lunch, however, is on a “bring your own bag” basis. If you’re interested in attending, be sure to RSVP (it’s required!) and show up to the chamber at 289 N. Litchfield Road, Goodyear, on March 5. Register with Wallace at bworryfree1@gmail.com or 480-284-2158. In Buckeye comes Dog Days of Buckeye, presented by the city of Buckeye Community Services Department and Abrazo West Campus.

The city is looking for vendors, groups and K9 service businesses willing to participate. The event is 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, March 3, at Sundance Park, 22865 W. Lower Buckeye Road. For more information, call 623-349-6350 or email recreation@buckeyeaz.gov. Beyond the business needs of the event, a Bark Busters Agility Course, Dane Haven Great Dane Kissing Booth, small dog races and longest tail and ear competition are among the many fun activities available. Finally, Buckeye Animal Reuse Kennel, Rainbow Valley Animal Search & Rescue and Greyhound Rescue will be present, while Phoenix Disc Dogs, the Buckeye K9 Unit and Rugged Cross Kennel and Dog Training will conduct demonstrations. Let me round out with a grand reopening of a West Valley business. The PPEP Integrated Care DTA program is the organization, and the grand reopening event is 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday, March 15. It is located at Dysart Business Park, 811 E. Riley Drive Suites 1-3, Avondale. The grand reopening will feature a ribbon-cutting ceremony, and appearances by the CEO/founder, directors and members’ parents. It is open to the public. “We’re all excited about it,” said Interim Program Coordinator Elizabeth Encinas. Visitors will find the day treatment for adults program, formerly located in suites one and two of the park, now occupies a third suite. It is one of the

Childhood friends bring their passion for coffee to Verrado By Juan Escobedo

Best friends since the age of 7, Karlie Bakke and Liz Schwartz migrated to Buckeye from Spearfish, South Dakota, to pursue their dream of running a coffee shop. Their childhood dream came true in October 2017, when they opened the doors of Ebb and Flow Coffee Co., located in a space on Main Street Verrado recommended by Schwartz’s parents, who live in the area. “It’s always been something that I’ve wanted to do,” Schwartz said. “The opportunity arose and we were at the right place at the right time and I reached out to Karlie and it’s been a dream come true.” Before opening the coffee shop, Bakke, a sociology and psychology major, was working as an activities director for a nursing home in South Dakota. Schwartz, on the other hand, worked with children through their time in the hospital. She studied human development and family studies, as well as business administration. Bakke and Schwartz had much to take away from their first few months

in business but they both agreed that they learned a lot about themselves and one another. “We’ve learned each others strengths and weaknesses,” Schwartz said. “We balance each other out in every way possible.” Bakke added, “I think we’ve learned a lot about each other and our friendship. It’s amazing but we haven’t had a single fight yet, knock on wood, but we’ve learned how important communication is with each other and our customers.” Bakke and Schwartz have different translations for the name Ebb and Flow. To Schwartz, the name means “the coming and going of customers everyday leaving something behind and taking something with them.” Bakke takes the name metaphorically as, “the decline and regrowth of the human spirit. We were both at this point in our lives where we were ready for something new and ready for some regrowth.” Everything at Ebb and Flow has a story. From the logo designed by their high school friend to the mugs that came from

family members, thrift stores, regulars or are homemade, “there are little stories everywhere,” Bakke said. “We both have a very similar vison,” Schwartz added. “We were very like minded in what we wanted our mission to be, and our main mission was community. It was about being able to have a place where people can gather and have coffee while having quality products.” According to Bakke, Ebb and Flow stands out among other coffee shops because “We tried to bring some of the Midwest to the desert.” Schwartz said it was important to her that Ebb and Flow had a couch because they are common in Midwest coffee shops. The shop also has an eight-tap kegerator with nitro Liz Schwartz and Karlie Bakke smile from behind the cold brew coffee on tap, their bar.

oldest programs from PPEP Inc., and was started in Tolleson before it expanded to Avondale. It has been in the West Valley for about 25 years, Encinas said. “We’re a DTA; we’re a day program that provides services for special needs adults,” Encinas explained. The Monday through Friday program has 27 members and provides AM/PM transport, she said. “You can find a lot of DTAs in the Valley and the West Valley here in Avondale, but what makes our DTA unique and different is we’re more like a family-type DTA,” she said. “There are members who have been here for

over 15 years and can probably go back to maybe even 20 years.” The DTA program, however, is just one of PPEP Inc.’s many ventures. “PPEP has a lot of businesses everywhere from DTAs to group homes, and they also help people in need to start their micro-businesses,” Encinas added.

Desert Edge 152-pounder wins state championship

By Casey Pritchard Gabriel Gallego didn’t place in last year’s Division I state tournament. This year, he was a Division II state champion. Gallego moved from Millennium to Desert Edge this season and missed half the year because of the transfer rule, but that didn’t stop him from accomplishing wrestling’s ultimate individual goal. Gallego rolled through the 152-pound weight class as the No. 1 seed, winning the title February 9 at Prescott Valley Event Center by defeating Daivon Lee of Mountain View Marana 11-3. “When I won it, I didn’t feel very ecstatic or excited because it was something that I earned,” said Gallego, a junior. “This year, I put in so much work I know I deserved it. It didn’t feel like I got lucky.” Last year, Gallego lost in the 138-pound consolation bracket. It was only his second year wrestling, as he didn’t start until his freshman year. “I didn’t know what I was doing,” Gallego said. “It was like getting thrown to a pack of wolves.”

Gallego has worked hard since then. In addition to his practices at Desert Edge, he trained with Angel Cejudo of Olympus Wrestling Club in Scottsdale. Between school and club, Gallego had nine practices per week. “He helped me a lot,” Gallego said of Cejudo. “I found him my freshman year summer and he brought me up from knowing absolutely nothing to a two-year wrestler state champ.” Ruben Carroll, Desert Edge’s wrestling coach, attested to Gallego’s work ethic. “He really worked his butt off inside of our room and outside of our room,” Carroll said. “It (state championship) was well deserved for him … He doesn’t have a lot of experience under his belt as far as years go, but he’s put in a lot of time.” Gallego’s overall record was 19-1. His only loss was to the Division I state champion during a season match. With one more year of high school wrestling to go, Gallego has a chance to repeat as state champion next year. His immediate goal is focusing on the

Cadet/Junior National Championships in Fargo, North Dakota, in July. Gallego said he’s hoping wrestling will lead to a college scholarship so he can study mechanical engineering. He likes wrestling because it’s such a challenge. “It’s not a sport where you are at the top if you’re naturally athletic,” Gallego said. “It’s something you have to work really hard at to get to the top.” In addition to Gallego, two other Desert Edge wrestlers placed at state. Josh Vigh was a runner up for the second straight year. Vigh, who wrestles at 170 pounds, lost to Shaun dell Hawkins of Williams Field 18-5 in the championship. “The score was pretty bad,” Carroll said. “I don’t know what happened, but on bottom he wasn’t wrestling well, and that other guy was really tough on top. On feet, we scored first, we were looking really good on feet, but once that guy got on top he worked us pretty good.” Vigh’s second-place finish marked the fourth consecutive year the senior placed in the state tournament. He was fourth as a freshman, third as a

sophomore and runner-up each of the last two years. “We were hoping this was going to be the year, but it didn’t pan out that way,” Carroll said. Vigh’s second-place showing came on the heels of a broken hand suffered early in the season. Vigh only wrestled 19 matches, but went 17-2. The Scorpions’ other state placer was Isaac Sandoval, who finished fifth at 220 pounds. Sandoval had to win three matches in the consolation bracket to secure fifth. “We’re proud of him for getting fifth,” Carroll said. “Last year, he got fourth. Not a huge change, but he had some hiccups on the road. He had some obstacles this year and overcame them and still did well. As a team, Desert Edge finished ninth with 66.5 points. Carroll said he thinks the Scorpions could have finished higher if not for a late season injury. “Kody Ball would have been ranked No. 3 in the state but hurt his knee,” Carroll said.

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | FEBRUARY 28, 2018

Superstar’s basketball camp coming to Millennium By Ron Sanzone Aspiring West Valley basketball players of all talents will soon have the opportunity to hone their skills with one of the world’s greatest female basketball players. Three-time WNBA All-Star and Dallas Wings’ starting point guard Skylar DigginsSmith will bring her Shoot 4 the Sky basketball camp to Millennium High School in Goodyear on Saturday, March 17. The camp is open to boys and girls between the ages of 7 and 18 at a cost of $100 per child. Millennium Assistant Vice Principal/ Athletic Director Remigio Gordillo’s daughter attended the camp in Phoenix last year. Impressed, Gordillo lobbied successfully to have the nationally touring camp stop at his school. “Historically, the west side of town hasn’t gotten opportunities like this,” he said. “They usually occur on the east side, (but) the west side has grown CARPET • HARDWOOD • TILE & STONE LAMINATE • VINYL

financially and there are a lot of youth out here who could attend these things and benefit from them.” Last year, Gordillo observed youth learning lessons that apply well beyond the hardwood. He said camp attendees “learn that whatever your goal or dream is, if you work toward it, you can make it a reality. You’re literally talking and interacting with someone who, at a young age, had a dream, had a goal and made it a reality.” While youngsters often hear that same message from parents, teachers and school administrators, receiving such encouragement from a superstar athlete has its own additional benefits. “Children feel good about themselves knowing someone like that takes the time to invest in them,” he said. Camp attendees “walk out of there really

No landline? No problem!

If the camp is well attended, Gordillo said he believes it could serve as a launching pad for future events in the area. By setting a precedent that a high-profile camp can be successfully staged in the West Valley, “I think it will open the door for other camps not just in basketball, but in other sports.” For more information or to register, visit shoot4thesky.com.

inspired in all aspects of life.” Avondale resident Michael Wiley is hoping the positive reinforcement will rub off on his 8-year-old daughter, Elizabeth. He enrolled her in the upcoming camp because he believes that Diggins-Smith’s presence will distinguish this camp from others. “I think she’s somebody who would make a good impression on my daughter,” Wiley said. “She’s a good role model. She’s womanly, but on the basketball court she’s an athlete. She’s tough.”

Tres Rios Nature Festival celebrates 15 years

By Krys Estes

On the banks of the Tres Rios, which translates to “Three Rivers,” nature lovers, friends and family will come together for the 15th annual Spring Tres Rios Nature Festival to celebrate plants, animals, ecological relationships. Guests enjoy other recreational opportunities along the Gila, Salt and Agua Fria rivers from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, March 3, and Sunday, March 4. “It started with Arizona Game and Fish wanting to showcase the beautiful Base & Meridian Wildlife area as a recreation area for the public and thought an outdoor recreation festival would allow people to see and experience the area. They partnered with the city of Avondale and other surrounding cities and county staff to organize and produce the first event,” said Stacey Lindsay, event coordinator. The admission is free and will feature kid-friendly activities, educational

displays, entertainment and vendors, wildlife such as local birds, canoeing, stand-up paddle boarding sponsored by REI, archery, fishing and the opportunity to learn about STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) and food. This year, the festival will have headlining entertainment by folk, bluegrass and country talents including Run Boy Run, Jam Pak, D-Squared and Jarabe Mexicano. They will perform along the river from 6 to 7:30 p.m. March 3. This will also be the first year the festival will have a beer garden with the perfect view of the stage (patrons for this must be 21 years of age or older). “I love seeing kids experience activities like canoeing and fishing, many for the first time,” Lindsay said. “It’s such a relaxing, fun atmosphere with the live music being heard over the water and there is so much to do— all for free. There is nothing else like it in the Valley.”

Buckeye man honored at agricultural conference By Andrea Tarble The Agricultural Retailers Association honored “Rising Star” Cash Veo of Buckeye at its recent conference in Phoenix. Nearly 700 retailers and representatives discussed agricultural hot topics during the three-day conference that ended with an address by U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue. Companies that attended the conference were asked to nominate a staff member who exemplified the qualities of a developing leader in the industry. The Wilbur-Ellis Company chose Veo, an agronomist branch manager, and, like the other “Rising Stars,” he was honored at a reception sponsored by Yargus

Manufacturing, of Marshall, Illinois. Yargus Manufacturing engineers, manufactures and installs custom blending and conveying equipment for the fertilizer and industrial marketplace. The Agriculture Retailers Association is a nonprofit trade association that advocates, influences, educates and provides services to support sellers of seeds, nutrients, crop protection products, farm equipment, precision technology and agronomic services.

Interior Designer for Hire turns home from drab to fab By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

As an interior designer, Lussi Baumgartner loves to help people create their dream homes. “I love to basically create dreams,” said Baumgartner of Goodyear, who owns LB Interiors. “Every client is different and I love the challenge. I like to solve problems, create beautiful spaces and meet phenomenal people.” Born in Italy, Baumgartner will be helping even more folks as part of the Interior Designer for Hire program through the Arizona North chapter of the American Society of Interior Designers. Held through April 30, the program gives homeowners the chance to meet with a professional at a reduced rate, $75 per hour, maximum of two hours. Designers volunteer their time and the fees collected are used for student scholarships and educational programs. To register, visit azn.asid.org/. Designer consultations are available Valleywide and in Northern Arizona.

“We are excited to bring this program back again this year,” said Tabitha Evans, president of Arizona North chapter of ASID. “Interior Designer for Hire gives homeowners a unique one-on-one inhome opportunity with a professional interior designer on refreshing or updating their home or office.” Baumgartner has been participating for four years. “This is a win-win for both parties in this program,” she said. “I have to bring my ‘A’ game. I love giving my time. You never know, you could meet potential, phenomenal clients and cultivate business.” Based in North Phoenix, LB Interiors will take on projects from “floor to ceiling,” said Baumgartner, a former designer for Ethan Allen. “I do everything inside—remodel, blueprint, furniture. That’s the majority of them. This is my passion, though. I love everything about it.”

Spring blooms hail art and wine festival

By Cheri Newton The Litchfield Park Art and Wine Festival has returned and more than 20,000 people are expected to imbibe. Set for Saturday, March 3, and Sunday, March 4, the award-winning festival will feature artists and crafters displaying and selling their creations. It will also host musicians, and a beer and wine garden to quench the discerning tastes of wine and beer enthusiasts. “We enjoy welcoming people to Litchfield Park, letting them see the beauty that it is,” said Tricia Kramer, Litchfield Park’s special events coordinator. “This city values the arts.” Festival promoter Candy Vermillion estimated about 175 artisans will display their work, including a glass blower from Whidbey Island, Washington. “Litchfield Park is a resort community, with the historic Wigwam being in the heart of it,” Vermillion said. “It’s a park-like setting with acres of grass and flowers and tree-lined walkways and sidewalk cafes.”

Vermillion’s company also produces the 48-year-old Festival of Arts in the autumn. In its 20th year, the Litchfield Park Art and Wine Festival focuses on fine arts, wineries and breweries. Admission to the beer and wine garden is $10. That includes either a commemorative wine or beer glass, and five wine-tasting tickets or a 16-ounce beer. “The main stage is near the wine garden and it’s one of the best venues for arts and entertainment,” Vermillion said. “With all the trees and green grass, and the rose garden, it’s like you’re in another world when you enter Litchfield Park. The streets are lined with alternating palm and citrus trees, so particularly this time of year you start getting the fragrance from the citrus trees. The wine garden is on lush green grass under pine trees and you can take your shoes off and walk around and sip wine. I just love the whole ambience of Litchfield Park.”

Liberty teacher seeks funds for teaching conference By Connor Dziawura Education is in Freedom Elementary School sixth grade teacher Stacey Jones’ blood. Jones followed in the footsteps of her grandmother and mother, who worked for the Littleton district. Now in her seventh year at Freedom, the teacher, student council sponsor and girls and boys soccer coach is looking to better engage her students by attending the Teaching & Engaging with Poverty in Mind workshop in San Antonio, Texas, in July. She just needs a little help first. Registration alone costs $495, with additional travel and lodging costs. Because her school is unable to finance the trip, Jones turned to GoFundMe. Her campaign efforts have already yielded $445 of her $1,000 goal, as of February 26. To donate, visit gofundme.com/staceytotxtolearn. Jensen Learning’s three-day workshop will help provide teachers across the nation have the necessary tools to help low-income students. Jones thinks poverty is a significant problem with teachers and students. The solution starts with recognizing the problem. “I think there’s a bigger problem than just them acting out in class,” she said. “I think there’s more to the story, and if teachers had the tools to recognize that, then we would be able to handle it different.” Many students at or below the poverty level deal with chronic stress, Jones said. “They don’t have a management for stress. You think of us as adults, we get stress and we find things that help us. ‘OK, I need to take a step back, I need to reevaluate,’” Jones

explained. “These kids, they don’t have that internal dialogue. They just keep bringing in more and more and more stress, and they start acting out behaviorally. They start falling behind academically and that just adds more to their stress.” A lack of executive functioning skills, or a sense of cause and effect, is another troubling issue, she added. “To them, school is somewhere they have to be for eight hours of the day,” she said. “It’s not something they are going to be better because of.” Many of these students don’t have strong emotional support either, for example, from their parents who, most likely, have hectic work schedules that clash with their children’s. “I have so many kids who don’t see their parents until the weekend because mom and dad are asleep when they get home and they get up and they go on the night shift, and then they’re home and asleep again before they leave for school in the morning, or vice versa,” Jones explained. Thus far, Jones said teachers set personal and professional goals for students, which are, in turn, monitored by administration throughout the year. “How to reach children in poverty” is her goal this year, she said, and she has been hard at work. Every Wednesday, her class throws aside academics for one hour to work on “growth mindset.” “We work on instead of saying, ‘No, I can’t do it,’ (saying) ‘Hmm, I just can’t do it yet,’” she explained. “Those kind of things. Moving away from that fixed mindset of failure to the growth mindset of, ‘I just need to do a little more next time.’” Jones also reads and conducts

Peer mentors are important at the school as well. “We’re doing things at a very ground level with reaching these students in poverty,” she said. “At this conference, it’s three days. It’s super intensive. It’s all day for those three days, and the amount of tools that they’re offering the teachers, it’s going to be a game changer to come and bring back to my campus.” According to Jensen Learning’s “5 Secrets to HighPerforming Schools,” strong relationships, strategies to add new brain cells, hope and optimism, setting high Freedom Elementary sixth grade teacher Stacey is hoping to attend the Teaching & Engaging expectations, and the “Jensen Jones with Poverty in Mind workshop in San Antonio, Secret” will be covered.

Avondale educator offering scholarships for working students By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

Manny Murillo’s parents were migrant workers who picked cotton in West Valley fields. They taught him two things: have a strong work ethic and stay in school. “They said, ‘Get your education and you’ll do well,’” said Murillo, who grew up in Avondale. “So I did.” He took it so seriously that he didn’t miss a day of class during his four years at Agua Fria High School. Now Murillo, who is semiretired from the education field, is helping kids achieve their dreams with the Manny Murillo Scholarship for Employed Students. It is offered to employed high school seniors who qualify for financial assistance. Students who are selected to participate will be able to receive matching funds equivalent to their earned savings, up to $500. Students’ savings amounts will be verified by a local financial institution and applied to the cost of their future education/ training. The deadline to submit is April 20. Forms can be obtained by contacting Murillo at mannymurillo@cox.net.

“I’ve been in education all my life,” he said. “Because I was fortunate in my financial dealings, I put $15,000 of my own money into this nonprofit project. The project is this: Seniors who are on track to graduate who have a part-time job will receive assistance from me.” Murillo will introduce the program during a Sunday, March 25, benefit at Wild Willy’s Cantina, 613 E. Western Avenue, Avondale. Dinner will be served from 4 to 7 p.m., with music by the band Reality and DJ Javier from 7 to 10 p.m. Tickets are $15 and can be obtained by calling 623-882-0625. “There’s going to be a nice sitdown dinner,” Murillo said. “We’re going recognize individuals in the community, including my freshman basketball coach, OK Fulton. He coached so many athletes and taught so many students at Agua Fria. He inspired me to move on.” After a spotless high school record, Murillo desired to attend college, but was told he could not receive financial help. “I think I’ll work and go to school—

My first job was as a youth counselor in South Phoenix, working with kids who literally lived on the streets. This was in the late 1960s.” Murillo earned a bachelor of arts in secondary education and a master’s in administrative/ leadership.
