n a unanimous vote on Feb. 22, the Goodyear City Council appointed Patrick Bray to fill the vacant council seat. Bray, his wife and two young children have lived in Goodyear since 2008, and he has served on the Planning and Zoning Commission for the last nine years, including the past five years as chairman. The city council received 23 applications and interviewed five candidates, in person, before the vote. “It was a little bit of a numbing feeling once I heard my name announced,” Bray said. “It is a huge thing to have these councilpeople put their faith in me and then, of course, I feel the weight and the responsibility of the office and it’s incredibly humbling. I was definitely honored to be able to fill that role.” An Arizona native, Bray is the executive vice president of the Arizona Farm

and Ranch Group, where he works on policy issues facing the agricultural industry. He earned his bachelor’s degree in agriculture resources and economics from the UA. “Patrick Bray has a wealth of experience in serving the city, which really stood out to me when making this decision,” Mayor Joe Pizzillo said. “He has a great understanding of the issues facing Goodyear, and I look forward to working with him and the rest of the city council to continue to build upon our success.” Born and raised in the West Valley and having the opportunity to continue to serve Goodyear in a new role as councilmember, Bray said it’s exciting to work for a city has loved for nearly 10 years. “This is a great opportunity for me to further my public service within the city and continue to be a part of a growing community,” he said. “We’re a sizable city

Inventor hopes to provide new water source BY LAUREN SERRATO

West Valley View Staff Writer

sing his new technology, a solar-thermal energized hydraulic engine, Buckeye inventor Brian Hageman will use salt water from a natural aquifer beneath the city to pump through a desalination process. The resulting new, renewable, clean water

source can provide plentiful water for local agriculture, residential and commercial customers. Each water desalination facility will process 4 million gallons per day utilizing 100% solar-thermal energy. No electrical grid connection is required; however, Hageman will sell surplus electricity to the grid. “It is an engine that runs on hot water, and this new engine replaces electric motors in

the desalination system that use tons of electricity,” Hageman explained. “So, with my system we eliminate the electrical needs.” The hydraulic engine requires 90% less energy to desalinate brackish water, compared to existing technologies, resulting in signiﬁcant energy cost savings.

Verrado Heritage named a Leader in Me Lighthouse School

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

ranklinCovey Education has certiﬁed the “A”-rated Verrado Heritage Elementary School a Leader in Me Lighthouse School. Leader in Me is an evidence-based model that builds perseverance and leadership in students, creates a hightrust culture, and helps improve academic achievement. With Leader in Me, students learn to become self-aware, set and track goals, prioritize their time, communicate effectively, resolve conﬂicts, and contribute to society. “Our dream of becoming a Leader in Me Lighthouse School began seven years ago when our beautiful school was under construction,” Principal Meredith Noce said. “Today, we are one of only 10 schools across the country to achieve Lighthouse status during the pandemic, and we expect to see greater results over time. We are grateful to our dynamic PTSA and community partners for supporting our focus on this global achievement.”

Lighthouse Certiﬁcation is a highly regarded standard set by FranklinCovey Education. The Lighthouse Rubric measures outcomes in three areas: teaching leadership principles, creating a leadership culture, and aligning academic systems. Schools also measure their success as it relates to their unique school. Lighthouse Schools serve as exemplars to their community and to other schools. “We are thrilled to recognize Verrado Heritage Elementary School as a Leader in Me Lighthouse School,” said Sean Covey, president, FranklinCovey Education. “This school has experienced incredible results by implementing the principles and practices related to Leader in Me, and we are honored to celebrate the success they are experiencing.” Since its launch nearly a decade ago, more than 5,000 public, private and charter schools across 50 countries have adopted the Leader in Me process, with less than 12% achieving the prestigious Lighthouse Certiﬁcation.

I want to continue to build on that.” He also has experience with water issues and land use, and hopes to work with the Goodyear City Council on the municipality’s most pressing needs. Coming from his former role with the planning and zoning team, Bray said his experience has prepared him for the job as Goodyear’s newest councilmember. “Out of all the commissions that are out there, planning and zoning probably has the most interaction with the public, from developers to residents,” Bray said. “I had nine years of training and experience in dealing with the public, so I think that aspect of it is going to come naturally in this position. It’s now learning the 800 other things that go on in the city and how to balance those deeds and manage them into the future.” Bray will serve on council for nine months, in which time he said that he

hopes to have a positive impact on the already-established and successful city council. “Honestly, it is a short timeframe and I kind of teased that at the end of nine months, I’ll be ready to really hit the ground running after I learned everything,” Bray said. “My focus and goal are just to fill that seat to the best of my ability and help out where I can. If I can lend any expertise or advice that maybe the council doesn’t have, I want to fill those roles. I don’t have some big lofty goal of making some change or anything like that. I really just want to do the best job possible and serve the next nine months to help out the city council and hopefully represent the residents well.” Bray was officially sworn in on Feb. 28, at the special city council meeting. He will fulfill the remainder of the current term, which ends on Dec. 31. The council seat that he will serve in was vacated by Joe Pizzillo when he was appointed to serve as mayor on Dec. 17, after the Mayor Georgia Lord’s death.

Water...continued from page 1 employs standard reverse osmosis membrane technologies to filter the saltwater. Hageman hopes to have six desalination facilities in Buckeye, adding that his goal is to provide the city with a new source of clean water. “I didn’t know of any area in Arizona that needed that type of desalination, but when I found out that Buckeye is sitting on a massive underground aquifer full of salt water, it became a massive opportunity, because it’s water that we’re losing every day,” he said. The “Buckeye Waterlogged Area” has been identified by the Arizona Department of Water Resources as a very large and naturally renewing subterranean, flowing aquifer reservoir, which has a salt content too high for human consumption. “This water resource is being lost, continuously, every day, flowing underground to the Sea of Cortez,” Hageman said. While the price of water is likely to increase, based on the function of supply and demand, Hageman said his water is cheaper and cleaner than what is currently being produced. “My impact on water pricing for the farmers would be reasonable because they can actually grow crops and get more money and afford to pay for the water,” he said. Hageman explained in his November 2020 Recommendation Report to Gov. Doug Ducey, that 8.3 billion gallons per year of saltwater is pumped out of the ground to lower the very shallow water table and avoid having crop roots affected by the shallow saltwater table. “8.3 billion gallons per year represent only about 5% of the potential water available in the Buckeye aquifer,” Hageman said, adding that 8.3 billion gallons of water per year can supply about 50,000 homes. “In today’s extremely challenging water resources environment, all water provided by nature must be fully exploited for human needs, and not lost to the ocean.” Hageman’s company, Deluge Technologies Inc., is seeking six desalination locations close to the Gila River in lower Buckeye. Plans are in place to build a demonstration farm, such that local farmers may experience growing a wide variety of marketable vegetable crops for sale to Phoenix metropolitan grocery stores, versus growing only alfalfa. Alfalfa is the only crop being grown because of the low water quality being

supplied by the water district, Hageman said, allowing only crops for nonhuman consumption to be grown in the area. “With this water we can start irrigating the crops in Buckeye that currently only can grow alfalfa for livestock, so they can’t grow crops for grocery stores,” he said. “With my water they’ll be able to grow food that you’ll be able to buy in the stores. Right now, they don’t, but there is all this beautiful farmland covering Buckeye that can be converted with my water into crops for fruits and vegetables that can be sold.” The six facilities will take about five to eight years to build, but Hageman said he hopes to have the first million gallon a day system up and running within two years. Hageman added that his vision for the Buckeye region is to stimulate the local economy by providing the community with a new source of pure, fresh water, for homes and businesses, providing numerous well-paid jobs in manufacturing and facility operations, all powered by the Deluge Technologies Inc. Hydraulic Engine, energized solely by solar thermal energy. After developing and perfecting the technology for over 20 years, Hageman said implementing the facilities would ultimately benefit the city, the state and its future. “We need to diversify our water supply in Arizona,” he said. “We have great sources of water right now, but if the Colorado River flow goes down, we need a diverse supply of water resources in Arizona really for our future generations. The population is going to grow quite a bit by 2050 and right at the moment we really don’t have enough water to support that future. So we’re good for now, but we need to diversify our water supply in Arizona.”

Verrado music, band director wins teacher award

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | MARCH 9, 2022

BY LAUREN SERRATO

West Valley View Staff Writer

uckeye’s Verrado High School music and band director Tracy Meldrum has been selected as the February Star Teacher by the Phoenix law ﬁrm of Burch & Cracchiolo P.A. Meldrum has been at Verrado since it opened in 2006 and has grown the band program from nine to 96 members, competed in over 70 competitions, 13 state championships and six state ﬁnals. Meldrum graduated from ASU in 2006 with a bachelor’s degree in music education and earned a master’s degree in educational leadership from NAU in 2019. “I was pretty surprised. I was just kind of shocked and surprised, and then I thought this is so cool because I can purchase things for the band, and it’s exciting to be able to have some funds that I can just throw into the program without having to go through a ton of red tape,” Meldrum said. The award comes with a $500 check that can be used for anything needed for the music program not covered by the school budget. Verrado receives an additional $250 check that can be used at the

principal’s discretion. “It might sound silly to people who maybe aren’t involved, but I’m really excited to get some drumheads. They are really expensive, and we need a lot of them,” she said. “We don’t really have a budget per se for it, so it’ll be nice to replace some equipment, like my concert bass drum we haven’t replaced ever. It’s got the original head on it, and it has a little tear in it now. It’s nice to have some funds for all that now.” Meldrum was nominated by Chris Panneton, whose three children have been a part of her band program. Panneton’s youngest child is a freshman at Verrado. “Tracy possesses the talent to cultivate a respectable program with her love for music, sense of humor, and advocacy for kids,” Panneton said. “She encourages conﬁdence in her students to express their passion for music and accepts everyone who shows interest, even if they have no experience. Tracy builds conﬁdence by focusing on the students’ strengths, listens to individual needs, and nurtures camaraderie, creating an environment where students feel wel-

comed into the Viper Vanguard family.” Meldrum said she feels lucky and privileged to be part of the program’s growth since the opening of the high school. “It’s been a huge growth process,” she said. “It’s given me a chance to really grow into the music educator that I want to be, and it’s been really fun to watch how the program has grown and to see how the kids help each other and nurture each other. And they help foster that growth, too. And it’s just been a really fun thing to be a part of and to look back on.” Meldrum said one of her favorite memories was about ﬁve years ago when she took the group to London to perform in the New Year’s Day Parade. “We got to travel all over London and see some really cool sites, and to be able to do that with my band kids, it was really, really a treat,” Meldrum said. With sights set on the state concert festival in April, Meldrum said the entire group is excited to compete after last year’s virtual competition. A Valley teacher is chosen each month to receive $500 through a nominating process on the ﬁrm’s website. Nomina-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Détente or disaster? Editor: It is easy to start a war, but impossible to predict its end. We learned this the hard way in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. Putin rules Russia with a bloody fist, and it appears launching this war is his personal quest to seize Ukraine. Fiona Hill spent years as an intelligence officer on Russia and Eurasian affairs for Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, then served on the National Security Council under President Donald Trump. She has studied Putin for years. Fluent in Russian, she was usually in the room when our presidents met with Putin. It is her observation that Putin is personally obsessed with recreating the Soviet Union and reestablishing Russian military and political dominance over Europe. She believes he attacked Ukraine now because he sees the United States as “grievously weakened at home and in retreat abroad.” Considering NATO nothing more than an extension of a weakened United States, Putin appears surprised by the opposition President Biden generated from NATO and other European nations. Actually, their opposition makes sense in terms of self-preservation. Having watched Putin conquer Georgia, Crimea and Eastern Ukraine, his goals are obvious. Russia does have overwhelming military capability, which ought to make destroying Ukraine easy. What the United States learned in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan is that occupation during an ongoing insurrection is endless, bloody, expensive, and impossible to win. While Putin has frequently demonstrated his willingness to kill people and destroy cities, NATO’s response to this invasion is bankrupting Rus-

sia. Other than selling oil, Russia has almost no source of income and assets stored in banks are frozen. If NATO holds together, living in Russia will be a life of extreme poverty. Perhaps worse for Putin is that his oligarch supporters are now denied access to their ill-gotten wealth. They and their families can no longer do anything but sit home in their cold Russian houses. Ideally, the oligarchs and others will foment regime change; sane people will depose Putin, and reason will prevail. His face is puffy, and he has visibly aged, so nature may intervene. But Putin may survive. If Putin survives and cannot win outright, he may wall off Donetsk and Luhansk in Eastern Ukraine and then use them as a base to foment turmoil in Ukraine, across the borders of nearby nations, wherever opportunity arises and there is an exponentially worse scenario. Putin appears to consider himself and Russia one and the same, and he has nuclear weapons. Over the past 80 years I have seen humiliated, enraged men do incredibly self-destructive things. Fiona Hill was in the room when Putin stated his intentions. In her words, “In one of the last meetings between Putin and Trump when I was there, Putin was making the point that: ‘Well, you know, Donald, we have these hypersonic missiles.’ And Trump was saying, ‘Well, we will get them, too.’ Putin was saying, ‘Well, yes, you will get them eventually, but we’ve got them first.’ There was menace in this exchange. Putin was putting us on notice that if push came to shove in some confrontational environment that the nuclear option would be on the table.” What Putin is doing in Ukraine does concern us here. John Bradley Avondale

BLVD bucks Editor: The newest Avondale city bill showed an increase in the rate charged for water. I guess they are trying to get us to cut back. But on the newest city wasteful spending of our money in the BLVD. They have a small park started that has a fountain that sprays water into the air. With summer coming on, what a disaster for our city. I hope the government officials are footing the water bill. Ha! Ha! What a joke. They only know how to waste our money, not save us money. Time for new government. Lynda Fiorini Avondale

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | MARCH 9, 2022

Neighbor’s suicide leaves regret, questions in its wake BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ West Valley View Columnist

he white house sits across the street from the window fronting my desk. Not much distinguishes the place from the rest of the block where I moved two weeks ago. Four orange trees, their trunks painted white, line the east edge of the driveway. The side gate has a sign that reads “Beware of the Dog” in faded orange letters. On the porch sits a white pot sprouting a metal replica of a sunflower. The flower’s bright yellow adds a little cheer to the scene, but this is not that kind of story. I met the woman who owned the house once, a few days after I moved in. I was unloading the last of my boxes. She walked over from across the street and introduced herself as Linda. She looked to be approaching 80, and blunt in the way people of a certain age

can pull off. “It’s a nice street,” she assured me, with a hard glance that seemed to suggest I had better keep it that way. I learned Linda had lived in the small white house for decades, beside Carolyn, her best friend and forever neighbor. There was rarely traffic on the block. Dogs barked on occasion. I told her my name. Then my phone rang. It was a work call I needed to take. We said goodbyes and I thought nothing more of it for a few days, when I came home to a street full of police cars and an ambulance. The low white house had police crime scene tape blocking the driveway. Officers milled about. Carolyn, the forever neighbor, sat on her porch talking into her phone. I could see her shoulders heaving. The sergeant running the scene met me in the street. He had little to say except there had been a death. Now a death investigation was happening. I asked whether there had been a crime.

He said he didn’t think so, that it looked like an older woman, the home’s only occupant, had taken her own life. No, not with a gun. It appeared she had hanged herself. “That’s sad,” was the best I could do. “Very sad,” he agreed. A thought occurred to me: “I guess she might have been lonely.” A couple of visitors have come and gone from the house since that afternoon, and I have looked for excuses to bump into Carolyn from the house next door, to ask if there’s anything I can do. Each morning, I glance through the obituaries, to see if there might be more to Linda’s life — loved ones left behind, a memorial service scheduled, a charity where one might pay tribute. Possibly, that’s the reporter in me, wanting to know “the rest of the story,” as Paul Harvey used to say. But more likely, it’s the human being in me, the new neighbor who wishes he hadn’t answered his phone, who re-

grets not being warmer, who wonders how he might have made some small difference. This is magical thinking, I suppose. The world may feel small today, with everyone in each other’s business on Facebook, on Twitter, online, but the truth is, we have never been more isolated. Buried under the outward self we show the world, the #blessings and proclamations of gratitude, each of us has endless hidden nuances, stories we take pains to keep locked away. Now I write a story about a neighbor no longer here to read it, while I stare at the house she left vacant and wonder what happened behind those closed curtains, that front door with the iron security grate. So it goes. We are here until we’re not, and sometimes we take the rest of the story with us. David Leibowitz has called the Valley home since 1995. Contact david@leibowitzsolo.com

State moves in wrong direction on health card BY J.D. HAYWORTH

West Valley View Columnist

hen Dwight David Eisenhower said farewell to public life in January 1961, he noted the rise of the “conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms

industry.” Eisenhower warned the American people that “we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought,” by what he labeled “the military-industrial complex.” While Ike’s historic description and warning endures, his farewell address sounded an additional cautionary note

about another worrisome faction. Six decades later, that less-heralded admonition has proven remarkably prophetic. “We must also be alert,” President Eisenhower said, to the “danger that public policy itself could become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.” Two years after Dr. Anthony Fauci persuaded President Trump that our nation faced the prospect of a dangerous pandemic from COVID-19, it is painfully obvious that Ike’s concern of six decades ago became our own bitter reality. What began as “15 days to slow the spread” morphed into a much longer and sustained effort to establish “Fauci-ism.” As our nation’s highest-paid bureaucrat, with a salary of $417,608 in 2019, Fauci obviously believes that he should have power equaling the status of his paycheck. After all, he makes more than the president! Outpacing that generous sum from the taxpayers is Dr. Fauci’s oversized ego, demonstrating the “fine for me but not for thee” inclinations of the Washington elite. When challenged on his policies by other health experts, the frustrated Fauci channeled French King Louis XIV, attempting to shut down the essence of scientific inquiry, by claiming that “his” science alone was valid. “I represent science,” he boasted. (“L’Etat c’est moi,” anyone?) Even before Dr. Fauci’s veracity began to unravel, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis cast a wide net in seeking advice on the public health measures that should be taken in his state. Eisenhower’s assertion was the catalyst that prompted DeSantis to prioritize vaccinations and care for seniors, embrace innovative treatments such as the use of monoclonal antibodies, and reopen Florida for business and travel as well as public education. “The job of the statesman is not to

subcontract out your policy to help bureaucrats,” he said. “The job of the statesman is to lead. … So many governors over the last two years would simply defer to help bureaucrats because it was a safe thing to do politically.” Gov. Doug Ducey hasn’t always done the wise thing politically when it comes to combating COVID, and it appears he’s now poised to take the Grand Canyon State over the edge when it comes to individual rights and health records. The business magazine “Forbes” recently featured this headline: “A National Vaccine Pass Has Quietly Rolled Out — And Red States Are Getting On Board.” Arizona is among 21 states, along with D.C. and Puerto Rico, that offer the SMART Health Card, a verifiable digital proof of vaccination. “Forbes” reports that “having digital access to personal health records empowers the individual,” and that’s why Arizona wants its residents to “get SMART.” But instead of empowering individuals, the so-called SMART Card puts more power in the hands of government, because it would allow government to control — and, in some cases, deny — the freedom of travel to its citizens. A “pass?” No. In reality, a national vaccine passport. Of course, Florida is not among the 21 states who want to use “SMART cards.” Ducey, the Legislature, and other Arizona leaders should follow Florida’s example. SMART cards are not “what the doctor ordered.” Well, maybe one certain doctor. J.D. Hayworth represented Arizona in the U.S. House from 1995-2007. He authored and sponsored the Enforcement First Act, legislation that would have mandated enforcement of Federal Immigration Law in the 109th Congress.

Around The Bluhmin’ Town

Golden ideas to avoid the gas crisis BY JUDY BLUHM

West Valley View Columnist

ave you been taking many road trips lately? Hmm. Maybe not. Now that gasoline is around $4 a gallon, it appears we’re all trying to ﬁnd ways to drive less. Some gloomy TV news commentator had the nerve to suggest that we’ll be paying $5 a gallon by summer! I’m sick of hearing how the price of petro in Europe is expensive, but no one seems to complain like we Americans. We don’t live in little villages with trains running through town. Some of us drive in one year what a person in Europe will drive in their lifetime! We live in sprawling communities and have many places to go. Our lives take us down many roads (literally) and we

seem to need at least two vehicles per family. Now we’re rethinking our overpriced gas-guzzling trucks and SUVs. Yes, it’s the perfect time for drivers to think small, compact and maybe electric. I drove a Volkswagen Beetle when I was in my 20s, and I think I’d faint if I had to get behind the wheel of such a little car. Going back to “tiny” is a pretty hard stretch. Besides, we love carrying “out stuff” around in our vehicles. Tools, folders, ﬁles, boxes, sporting equipment, doggy cushions, child seats, are only a few of “things” that we love to keep in our cars — not to mention the kids and pets! I heard a politician point a ﬁnger into a news camera and say, “Americans should just be happy.” Hey, I take issue with that

statement. How could anyone be happy when you know that today, tomorrow or the day after you’re going to get robbed at the gasoline pumps! If you are ever bored, dear readers, go to any gas station and look at the facial expressions of the poor, hapless folks as they swipe their credit cards and watch with glassy-eyed horror as the numbers keep rising. It’s pretty interesting (sad) to see how people are coping. My grandson pays about $120 to ﬁll up his truck. This is not a “happy” situation. I did notice that he purchased a bicycle a few weeks ago, which he claims is part of a ﬁtness program and has nothing to do with a gas-hog of a truck. I expect I’ll be riding my horses to a few more places. Perhaps we need to

install some hitching posts at our local shops and restaurants. But why get in a bad mood about gas prices? It’s obviously out of our control. I try to put everything into perspective. The value of our homes has skyrocketed, jobs are plentiful, incomes have increased, and people are out and about post-COVID-19, spending money and enjoying life. It’s all good! But then I ﬁll up my SUV and head to the grocery store and my mood begins to shift. I have started drinking a high-octane beverage, which is the only high-octane I can afford. On a positive note, there is a jeweler in Phoenix that is exchanging gold jewelry for gasoline cards. Gold for gas? Sounds like a “golden” idea. Judy Bluhm is a writer and local Realtor.

iving in a city that continues to grow with multiple construction projects popping up on what seems to be every other corner, there’s no doubt that one of Goodyear’s largest developments is the Goodyear Civic Square. Since the start of construction, many readers have asked what is going on north of McDowell Road and west of Harkins Theater near 150th Drive. Set to open this summer, the Civic Square will feature a new 125,000-square-foot city hall, 25,000-square-foot two-story library, 2-acre park/gathering place, and a 100,000-square-foot upscale Class A office space, in addition to a parking garage, the first parking garage to be built in the city. “It’s my favorite project to talk about,” said Julie Karins, Goodyear city manager during the city update at the Goodyear Recreation Campus. “It’s going to be beautiful. Goodyear has 142,000 visits a year to the library alone. The highest use in the Maricopa County system. This is going to be a beautiful new facility for them.” While the list of amenities is impressive, the office space will be a first for the city, making it the first speculative office building in the West Valley. Located at 15150 W. Park Place, the office space sits on 47 acres of land. Karins added that Class A office space is lacking in the West Valley, which ultimately limits the city’s ability to acquire large office projects. However, with the new office building, Goodyear will continue to attract high-end office users, which Karins said opens the door for additional high-quality jobs in the city. Karins emphasized how the Civic

Square serves as a testament to Goodyear’s growth. The city gets the keys to the project on June 30, if all goes to plan, according to Karins. The ribbon-cutting and grand opening ceremony will take place in August. On March 3, BJ’s Restaurant revealed it will begin construction near Goodyear Civic Square. The family-friendly restaurant is anticipated to open by late 2022 and will sit on a 3-acre pad located east of the northeast corner of North 150th Drive and West McDowell Road. BJ’s is constructing its newest prototype and the first of its kind in Arizona. The new Goodyear location will be more than 7,600 square feet, featuring an exterior with a rich color palette of composite wood, metal, stone and stucco, with large windows allowing for lots of natural light to pour in. The interior will seat approximately 250 guests and have ceiling treatments, garage doors that open to the patio and a round bar. BJ’s will offer its extensive menu, including its signature hand-pressed deep-dish pizza, slow-roasted entrees such as prime rib, BJ’s EnLIGHTend Entrees, including cherry chiptole glazed salmon, and Pizookie dessert. “We couldn’t be happier to have this award-winning restaurant choose Goodyear to call their new home,” Mayor Joe Pizzillo said. “Not only is BJ’s a top favorite of our residents, they also actively create positive change within communities by contributing to local causes and encouraging their team members to give back to the communities they serve.” Kevin Mayer of BJ’s Restaurants Inc. is excited as well.

Liv Communities set for Avondale L 20

BUSINESS

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

iv Communities plans to build a 333-unit, garden-style Class A apartment community with retail at the southwest corner of 99th Avenue and Indian School Road in Avondale. The parcel is located near State Farm Stadium, only a half mile west of Loop 101 and 2 miles north of Interstate 10. The property sold for $9.4 million or $10.28 per square foot. Business partners Linda Fritz-Salazar and Angelessa Ritchie represented Liv Communities in the transaction.

The groundbreaking is planned for January, with an expected opening in the summer of 2024. The city of Avondale has seen an explosion of development and employment as well, with a reported 8,000 new homes planned just south of Interstate 10. Avondale’s Estrella Mountain College is embarking on a $31 million expansion, and employers like AKOS Medical and Vantage Data Centers have recently chosen Avondale to expand in, with more health and tech companies expected to join them.

NASCAR, Truex Jr. return to Phoenix Raceway

BY ZAKKARY BROG

West Valley View Staff Writer

fter successful runs in 2021 at Phoenix Raceway, Martin Truex Jr. will return to the venue on Sunday, March 13, for the Ruoff Mortgage 500. “I really enjoy going to Phoenix,” Truex Jr. said. “It’s a fun racetrack, and, honestly, I feel like it gets better every year with age. The racetrack was a blast to race on last year. Hopefully, we can continue the success.” In the spring 2021 race, the 2017 Cup Series champion finished first and won the Instacart 500. He had a strong showing later that fall, finishing second. However, second place felt especially distant on that day, as the championship of the season was on the line. Truex Jr. attributes his success to his chemistry with crew chief James Small, who worked as the lead engineer with his previous team, Furniture Row Racing, during Truex Jr.’s 2017 title run as the lead engineer. “Coming so close last year, it took a lot to get there,” Truex Jr. said. “I feel like he did a great job all year, and the team did as well. We’re in a great place, and we have a lot of confidence in each other and what we’re doing. We work well together, and I have all the confidence in the world that he’s going to figure this thing out pretty quickly and we’re going to get out there and win some races. I love having him on the team. His work ethic, his determination and his will to win is second to none. That’s what it takes at this level. I’m very lucky to have him and looking forward to hopefully having a great season together again.” The 2022 races are different, as the athletes are driving the new Next Gen car, which replaced the preview car that was used from 2013 to 2021. For all drivers on the grid, it’s a new obstacle to overcome. “It’s been a lot of fun to race with it so

far,” Truex Jr. said. “It’s been a learning process. We haven’t had a whole lot of practice with this new schedule. You’re kind of stuck with what you show up with. The guys have done a good job throughout the winter in preparation, working on simulation, and just trying to narrow down the options of what we can do. Coming up with a good kind of baseline to start with.” Truex Jr. has been focused on more than the race, as he helms the Martin Truex Jr. Foundation. He and his partner, Sherry Pollex, founded it in 2007, starting it as a way to help children in need. In 2014, Pollex was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer and the couple refocused their mission to raise awareness, boost advocacy and generate financial support for underfunded cancer initiatives specific to childhood and ovarian cancers. “We just try to do everything we can to raise a lot of money so we can put it to work,” Truex Jr. said. “We had our first Catwalk for a Cause down in Daytona before the Daytona 500. That went really well. I’m not sure how much money we raised, but it was neat to have that event. A lot of people from the industry were there. We got to show them what our foundation is all about. Proceeds from that will be going to build a new integrative clinic right there in Daytona at Advent Health. That’s our latest project, and something we’re really proud of. It’s going to do a lot to help women battling cancer like Sherry is.”

Martin Truex Jr. will return to Phoenix Raceway on Sunday, March 13 to compete in the Ruoff Mortgage 500. (Submitted photo)

For Chad Freeman, country was love at first listen BY WADE SHARP

West Valley View Contributing Writer

very chapter in Chad Freeman’s life is marked by the ramblin’ ways of the country musician archetype. He bought his first pair of cowboy boots in his junior year of high school. Since then, he has worn them around the world. “I still wear those boots in the barn to this day,” Freeman said. He was introduced to country music during a road trip from Oregon to Seattle when he was 15. The narrative-centric, bleeding-heart lyricism, drenched in the treble-toned shimmer of a semihollow-body Telecaster reverberated through his soul. It was the beginning of a musical awakening; love at first listen. “My dad played Restless Heart, Alan Jackson and Brooks & Dunn nonstop. … It just got to me,” Freeman said. Not long after, he bought his first guitar and started learning to play. He started to take voice classes during his senior year of college. The year after he graduated, Freeman submitted an audition tape to the Country Music Showdown Singing Contest in his home state of Oregon. “I had always been intrigued by it and scared by it. … When I graduated, I said, ‘OK, I’m tired of being scared.’ So, I sent in an audition tape, and they accepted me. I went up and performed and did an awful job of it, but it was an experience.” His first time on the stage was tectonic. After the contest, he sought out any chance to build his stage presence, finding an opportunity to perform with a friend who had his own solo act. “That went well, so we started making it a regular thing,” Freeman said. “It just started snowballing from there.” He developed his skill and, piece by piece, fully realized his identity as a country music artist. He left his home-

town of Eugene, Oregon, for New York City, where he tried to make it as an actor and musician. His self-discovery led him on an amazing journey in the pursuit of his fervent passion for making music. Freeman’s secondary passion for the sport of golf kept him afloat while he was working his way into making country music. Having played competitively through high school and college, he worked as a golf pro in most places he’s lived. He moved to the Valley for a job at the Tournament Players Club in Scottsdale. Soon thereafter, he founded Chad Freeman and Redline in 2009. They had just started touring regionally when a music producer asked Freeman to play the cowboy part in the Village People. He passed through places like Australia, Sweden and France. “I’d always been pretty comfortable, but that loosened me up a lot. I had never really considered myself a dancer, but there I was shaking my butt in front of thousands of people,” he said. “It makes it a little easier when you strap a guitar back over your shoulder again.” Each twist and turn in Freeman’s life is an essential development to his story. Whether he was working as a golf pro or disco dancing on stage in between a police officer and an Indian, he never forgot about his country music roots. After four years of traveling the world, Freeman returned to Arizona and resumed Chad Freeman and Redline. Since then, they have gone through a few variations but have now cemented a lineup of guitarist Billy Grant, bassist Gary Rivers and drummer Chris Chambers. Redline has been Freeman’s fulltime gig for almost nine years. The group can draw from a catalog of over 60 songs, plus a full repertoire

of original music from the 2013 album “Cowboy Heart.” Their set list ranges from “Folsom Prison Blues” by Johnny Cash to “Gimme Three Steps” by Lynyrd Skynyrd, as well as hits by artists like Jason Aldean and Chris Stapleton. “We try to do a mix of classic country with some modern country, while throwing in some classic Southern rock as well,” he said. After playing for more than 10 years, Redline has built a solid reputation with promoters around the country. In 2021, Redline played 281 shows. “No wonder I’m tired,” Freeman said with a laugh. Regionally, Chad Freeman and Redline have been picked up to play at numerous professional bull-riding events, as well as NASCAR races and awards festivals. Freeman also holds a jam session with other local musicians at Jolie’s Bar in Chandler on Thursdays. “Sometimes we will invite another singer and I’ll play lead while they sing, then we will switch. We have a fiddle player coming tomorrow night. It’s always been really cool,” he said. Freeman has built an entire Chad Freeman was introduced to country music at career around doing exactly age 15, and it was love at first listen.

Chat and Chew event aims to help seniors WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | MARCH 9, 2022

one of their roles is to run this program. So, they do regular phone calls to the seniors or they do home visits to provide that resource. It’s a way for us to just check in and make sure that they’re OK and get them somebody to talk to. Sometimes they have questions about different topics that affect seniors.” Berry said Goodyear is willing to do everything to protect its population. “We’re trying to be proactive in that,” she said. “That’s just a top priority for us — keeping every member of our community safe.”

he Goodyear Police Department’s VIPS YANA program will host Chat and Chew on Wednesday, March 16, to answer seniors’ questions about a variety of issues. “It’s an event where seniors can come out, enjoy lunch, and gain valuable information about topics that are important to seniors,” said Lisa Berry, public information officer, Goodyear Police Department. “We have scheduled a representative from the Arizona attorney general to talk about things like scams and identity theft. We do have a representative scheduled from AARP to talk about their services. A representative from the H.O.P.E Team at CTCA (Cancer Treatment Centers of America) will be speaking, as well as one of our councilmembers to talk about the growth in the city of Goodyear, and the police chief will talk about the police department.”

The topics were chosen based on community feedback, availability, and prominence of issues that seniors are facing. You Are Not Alone (YANA) is a program hosted by Volunteers in Police Services (VIPS). The program’s purpose is to provide services to seniors who are sometimes isolated. “A lot of seniors can’t get out in the

Avondale elementary school ﬁnds success with national program BY LAUREN SERRATO

West Valley View Staff Writer

program that started at one school in the Avondale Elementary School District has now been implemented in four schools, each with the goal to grow each learner as a leader. Wildflower Accelerated Academy was the first school to welcome the Leader in Me program in fall 2021. Leader in Me is a whole-school improvement process based on the idea that everyone can be a leader. Katelyn Orloski, Wildflower principal, said the program’s evidence-based approach empowers students with the leadership and life skills they need to thrive in the 21st century. “We take those seven habits of highly effective people and empower our students with them and give them opportunities and situations that they can use in their everyday life,” Orloski said. “It’s a great program. It’s also what I would call a social-emotional curriculum because of the skills that it empowers our students to have.” Children in kindergarten through eighth grade have different lessons through the Leader in Me program. For instance, Orloski explained that kindergartners participated in a recent lesson that had the kids look in a mirror and use words to describe that experience. As for the seventh and eighth graders, their lesson was differentiating between conversations that should be had in person and which conversations should be had through email or text. “It’s a really great supplemental program for our students to learn the seven habits and be leaders and be engaged in their learning and in a really good culture environment,” Orloski added. Through the program, students are taught and practice the seven habits

of highly effective people, which stem from Stephen Covey’s book “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.” The habits are be proactive; begin with the end in mind; put first things first; think win-win; seek first to understand, then to be understood; synergize; sharpen the saw; and how to enact habits at home. When first establishing the program within the school, Orloski said the focus was on the seven habits and leadership. “The basics last year was giving our kids the leadership roles and empowering them,” Orloski said. “It’s really the belief that every child has genius, and we want to show that and we want to showcase our students by giving them the skills and finding what they excel in and what they love.” This school year, the focus has transitioned to academics and using the same skills to set goals centered around academic success. “Coming off of the COVID year, and really understanding that a lot of schools are trying to recoup the learning gaps that we had, this was such a perfect parallel year with Leader in Me, where we’re now focusing on the academic piece,” said Tracey DeBuff, assistant principal. “Students would review their grades, they would review either their benchmark or assessment data, and then they would select some goals with their teacher for how they would grow between now and the end of the quarter or the next major assessment. It was really fun to have these students start to understand and develop on their own.” Since the implementation of the program, Orloski said students and teachers have positively responded to it and even utilized the skills outside of the classroom. “It really is embraced by the culture of the school,” she said. “It’s just real-

ly good. It’s now extended where we have students who in their leadership role are helping our self-contained autism classroom, and they’re in there helping their students on their goals. So it’s amazing to see the connections that are forming because of the opportunity and how it’s really creating a culture of the whole person and showcasing that

everyone has genius and we want our kids to be leaders.” In addition to motivating students to succeed academically, Orloski said she’s seen an improvement in Wildflower students’ social-emotional development. “It unites everyone,” she said. “They realize that they’re on a team together, we have to achieve goals together, but we often have to work together and do our part to make sure Wildflower is the great place that it is. So it’s really giving them those tools. We know there’s a lot of outside factors influencing our students these days, but it allows us to give them the tools to help with that.”
