Michael Anderson School celebrates grant BY LAUREN SERRATO

West Valley View Staff Writer

or the third consecutive year, the Michael Anderson School received the Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Centers grant. Through the targeted grant, the kindergarten to eighth grade school in Avondale can provide “Beyond-the-Bell” programming for its students, including speciﬁc academic tutoring, academic enrichment, dance, art, STEAM and opportunities for collaboration. “We were thrilled,” said Lori Goslar, Michael Anderson School principal. “It is a feeling of exuberance and excitement and, most of all, knowing that our school community is going to be invested in and taken care of beyond school hours.” The grant was awarded three years ago,

but it can be renewed annually. Goslar said teachers, staff and students work each year to meet the requirements and criteria to continue to receive the funds from the grant. “We support over eight and a half hours a week, beyond the bell, meaning outside of school hours,” Goslar said. “We also have opportunities to apply for enhancement funds, which we have always taken advantage of. We were awarded enhancement funds this year, which we will be taking into our summer school programming to help us support our school community and our family community even more.” The grant, Goslar explained, is designed to support a combination of academics and

It’s considered a 21st century learning center grant. “It enhances those learning opportunities beyond school hours in a very safe environment that has adult supervision in it,” she said. “It also allows students to excel in an area of interest, perhaps the arts, cooking, sports, and it also bridges our school and our families and our community.” The grant helps fund the school’s after-hours food service, the students’ transportation, and the salary of 15 certified and classified teachers. “It’s a very robust grant, and we’re really proud of it,” Goslar said. “We also engage community partners where we do art nights and paint nights. We’ve done drive-in movies on campus, so there’s just a variety of things we’re able to do with it.” Goslar said the grant is about $500,000, and it minimizes on a yearly basis as the school begins to build its capacity with the grant. “It takes a village to make this hap-

Abrazo hospitals honoring certified nurses

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | MARCH 16, 2022

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

brazo Health hospitals are honoring their board-certified nurses during the week of March 14 to March 18, recognizing nurses who contribute to better patient outcomes through national board certification in their specialty. Certified nurses throughout Abrazo’s network of hospitals will be honored with individual celebrations during the week. Certified Nurses Day is celebrated in the United States on March 19 to publicly acknowledge nurses who earn and maintain the highest credentials in their specialty. “Nursing, like health care in general, has become increasingly complex. Board certification of nurses plays an increasingly important role in the assurance of high standards of care for patients and their loved ones,” said Susan Rainey, MSN, BSN, RN, chief nursing executive for Abrazo Health. Professional certification is a voluntary designation that affirms advanced

knowledge, skill and practice to meet the challenges of modern nursing, according to the American Nurses Credentialing Center. Abrazo Health encourages national board certification for all its nurses. There are many nursing certification specialties such as critical care, emergency nursing, perianesthesia, medical-surgical, cardiovascular, obstetrics and neurosciences. The knowledge-intensive requirements of modern nursing require extensive education, as well as a strong personal commitment to excellence by the nurse. A registered nurse license provides entry to general nursing practice. Certification in a nursing specialty demonstrates added professionalism, leadership and commitment to excellence in patient care, Rainey said. Abrazo hospitals offer career ladder programs for nurses and other employees who want to advance their clinical careers. Hospital leaders value staff in-

put on best practices, safety, quality, patient experience and more through Abrazo’s culture of positivity and inclusion. “The past two years of the pandemic have been extremely challenging for everyone in the health care professions. Please join Abrazo Health in honoring our hard working, dedicated nurses for their professionalism and a job well Abrazo hospitals offer career ladder programs for nurses done,” Rainey said. and other employees who want to advance their clinical Abrazo Health hospitals careers.

Ignite Yoga, schools partner for mindfulness

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | MARCH 16, 2022

BY LAUREN SERRATO

West Valley View Staff Writer

hile many adults incorporate yoga into their daily routines, Ignite Yoga in Litchfield Park introduces yoga to West Valley children. Through a partnership with the Ignite Yoga Foundation, elementary and high school students, as well as teachers, can participate in a free, after-school yoga

and wellness program called the Spark Adventure After School Program. “It’s a very cool program,” said Eva Shaw, executive director of the Ignite Yoga Foundation. “We focus on tracking and developing a program with elementary school teachers around the Valley. We track their mindfulness, their flexibility, their ability to focus, to raise their grades and more.”

To reach its goal of making yoga accessible, the foundation trains teachers in various school districts so they can teach their own students during and after school. “We mainly hire elementary school teachers,” Shaw said. “If our teacher agrees to stay for the whole year, we scholarship them and we teach them how to teach mindfulness. So not only are they getting those skills for themselves at home, but then they are becoming a resource and being able to teach mindfulness to the children.” Shaw said about 30% of the teachers in the program are elementary school teachers who have been trained by Ignite Yoga. The program is looking to incorporate a mentorship program for middle schoolers who have advanced far enough in their yoga skills to teach younger kids. “They’re pretty much ready to teach yoga. They can be little yoga teachers,” Shaw said. “It’s been in existence for seven years, so we have those kids that are now in sixth and seventh grades. And so we’re trying to figure out what we can do with these amazing kids that focuses on mindfulness or even career development.” Shaw said yoga is beneficial to children’s health and their ability to succeed in and out of the classroom. “We’ve got about five or six different mindfulness techniques that have been scientifically proven to help with the kids, and our tracking shows a 70% increase in focus in school day and in home, grades and social community development,” she said. The program started seven years ago

with a partnership with Verrado Elementary School and now serves 14 schools, with hopes to reach 16 by the end of the school year. “It is so exciting to be a part of the Spark Adventure After School Program,” said Mandi Lutha, headmaster of the program. “Offering this program for free to Title I schools is such a gift,” Lutha said. “These underserved communities often want children to have access to higher-quality social-emotional programs but lack the funds and resources. Bringing the program to schools for free makes the benefits of yoga and mindfulness accessible to so many students who might otherwise do without. Providing this program after school gives students something positive to look forward to in this uncertain world that they are navigating. Yoga and mindfulness give them the tools to face challenges with positivity and resilience.” While Shaw said the program gives children the lifelong skill of mindfulness and yoga, she added it benefits them beyond exercise. “The actual overall curriculum and program is more than a yoga class. It definitely elevates and escalates to another level for everyone who’s involved,” she said. “It’s not just them going in and learning breathing and postures; there is a story that happens there, and so they really have fun in the class and they build very dynamic relationships. It also really focuses and helps kids with behavioral issues.” Shaw said the passion for this program

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS

GAMBLE’S OPINION — King Features

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Frustrated with Luke AFB Editor: Why would Luke AFB announce the open house air show, only to cancel it a week before the show? It is really terrible leadership that would do that. Thousands of people were looking forward to the open house, only for it to be canceled again. The show was canceled in March 2020 because of COVID-19 and now canceled once again. The general in charge of Luke AFB should have never announced it if it was going be canceled. I’m a huge supporter of Luke AFB but very disappointed with the recent decision. Katrina Allen Litchfield Park

Keeping it simple

Editor: I was contemplating a detailed rebuttal to J.D. Hayworth’s latest screed vilifying Dr. Anthony Fauci — and science — in the West Valley View. But it’s actually very simple. With Trump relatively on the sidelines, Hayworth has found a new idol, Florida’s Ron DeSantis. They are made for each other. Hayworth should move to Florida, where his views would mesh neatly with a fellow ultra-right-wing wacko. Fred Raymond Goodyear

Judy Bluhm’s opinion on gas crisis

Editor: On March 9, Judy Bluhm wrote an opinion piece concerning the price of gasoline approaching $5 per gallon by this summer.

The United States isn’t like Europe, where gas is over $5 per gallon, she declares, because Europe is centered around small villages with good rail transportation. Well, Judy, 47% of vehicle trips in the United States are fewer than 3 miles. Most people live within easy walking or biking distance to shopping areas. We don’t have village centers, but there certainly are shopping centers with food, pharmacies and convenience stores nearby. A bicycle makes good sense. Judy suggests that now is a good time to look at electric vehicles. Great idea! Most dealers will have a good stock in six to eight months. Don’t forget to install a charging station in your garage. Judy is delighted that home values are increasing. She’s a Realtor. Why wouldn’t she be happy? The people who aren’t happy are the ones trying to purchase a home with a traditional mortgage and renters who see their rents increasing by 30%. Judy, take a lesson from your grandson and buy a bicycle. That’s the best idea. Mary Ann Padglick Litchfield Park

Carlin: ‘It’s a big club and you ain’t in it’

Editor: As much as the right likes to rant about the mainstream media, the reality is they give Republicans a pass on just about every lousy thing they do. When they aren’t giving them a pass, they are going out of the way to push a narrative of both sides. Examples? Sure. How often do you hear anyone on mainstream media push back on Republicans who brag about COVID-19 rescue legislation and how it will help their constituents when they all voted against it and even talked trash about it when Democrats fought to push it through? How about the infrastructure bill? Sure,

they will go on about it being nonpartisan but, in reality, only about 14 Republicans voted for it and many voted against yet brag about passing it. Do you hear this stuff being reported on the nightly news? No. It appears in some print pieces, but it’s not pushed over and over like they do on Fox whenever a Democrat farts in an elevator. If you want to read the articles, just Google them. You will see quotes — and even press releases — from these hypocrites who vote against these things but then decry how they helped make it happen. Republicans consistently vote against everything that helps the American people. From health care to affordable education, Republicans are right there with the filibuster button. Mitch McConnell is attempting to cancel the free lunch program for kids. This is a party of uncaring selfish demons who only have one concern: protest the wealthy few. The rest of the country is expendable. They see the average American as an inconvenient peasant who’s only needed at election time. Pretty soon they won’t even need us for that. It’s a shame so many are brainwashed into thinking they are part of a club they will never be able to join. These rightwing voters love the idea of some socalled self-reliant fantasy as they collect their welfare check all in the name of

preserving some kind of 1953 Mayberry RFD-era world that no longer exists. The mainstream media, as the right likes to say, is biased. They are in the club as well. Why do you think they help perpetuate a twisted “both sides do it” narrative? “It’s a big club and you ain’t in it.” Ayelet Sheffey and Joseph Zeballos Roig of Business Insider: Mitch McConnell is reportedly opposing free school lunches, so kids are going to have less on their plates, Biden’s agriculture secretary says.

Prideful New Yorker meets his match in Mt. Humphries

BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ West Valley View Columnist

aving grown up in New York, I can testify to the immense overconﬁdence of many New Yorkers. Convinced they live in the only city that matters, New Yorkers often display a level of cockiness best described as the personality equivalent of ﬁngernails on a blackboard. Thus, it’s fun to see New Yorkers taught a lesson like the comeuppance recently received by 28-year-old Brooklyn moron Phillip Vasto. Vasto, who describes himself as an “experienced hiker,” was here in the Valley on business when he decided to sojourn north to Flagstaff. His goal? To hike Mt. Humphries, our state’s highest peak at 12,633 feet. According to media reports, Vasto set out at 2:30 p.m. March 2 armed with his cellphone and trusty AllTrails app. The hike to the top of Humphries

and back is about 10 miles. On that day the trail was so steeped with snow, it took Vasto an hour to find the trailhead. “Unequipped with a light source,” per the Arizona Daily Sun, Vasto trekked until dark, telling the paper, “It was very easy to get off the trail and fall into the snow.” Shortly before 7 that night, Vasto dialed 911 and reported being lost. The search and rescue unit from the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office tracked him down at about the 10,600-foot mark — in other words, nowhere near the summit. Most of us would have called it good, happy to survive. Not Vasto. This is where he displays that signature New Yorker confidence. Despite a stern talking to from rescuers — including being “encouraged to not attempt the hike again,” according to a press release from the Sheriff’s Office — Vasto decided to hike Humphries again the very next morning. March 3 must have been quite the day: Vasto met fellow hikers who turned back in the face of 25 mph

See Life Better

winds — but he kept going. He slipped off the trail and scratched up a leg, Vasto told the Daily Sun. After about eight hours, he noticed his phone was nearly dead. Only then did Vasto call the search and rescuers for the second time in 24 hours. The deputies contacted the Arizona Department of Public Safety. A DPS helicopter ﬂew up to fetch Vasto off the mountain. The pride of the Big Apple posted about his adventure on Instagram before deleting his posts — I imagine because he was tired of being called a dumbass. Like many people caught doing ridiculous things, Vasto positioned himself on social media as a wise sage here to warn the rest of us. “With brutal, chilling winds blowing at (more than) 25 mph and freezing temperatures, Humphreys Peak is no joke in March,” Vasto wrote. “I highly advice (sic) NOT attempting Humphreys Peak in the winter. You can easily injure yourself and get hypothermia up there.”

Uh, yeah. Improbably, the entire population of Arizona, all 7 million of us, somehow managed not to need that dire warning. Vasto’s travails will undoubtedly revive calls for the state Legislature to pass a “Stupid Hiker Law,” which the city of Phoenix considered back a few years ago. Like Arizona’s “Stupid Motorist Law,” such a measure would force hikers who make improbably dumb decisions to repay the estimated thousand taxpayer dollars an hour it costs to send highly trained ﬁrst responders and a chopper to save them from their own stupidity. The law might not be a bad idea. Vasto told the Daily Sun he plans to ﬂy out from New York again in May and try his big adventure one more time. The immortal Sinatra was right about New Yorkers. “King of the hill, top of the heap?” Like Phillip Vasto, they’re all destined for glory. David Leibowitz has called the Valley home since 1995.

Meeting with Barry Goldwater taught him a lesson BY J.D. HAYWORTH

workers putting up and repositioning signs and his wife needing the family car, a limo was the best way to ensure the candidate arrived at this important meeting on time. “Excuse me?” “You’ve been there before, right?” “Nope… first time!” “Well, I have,” the driver responded, with an air of professional competence and courtesy. “The way there is

imprinted on my memory, given the importance of the man who lives there and the guests I’ve taken there.” “Yes, sir, it’s quite a place,” the driver said. “When I was a kid, at Christmastime and Easter, cars would be lined up so that families could use the shortwave radio there as part of a special phone link-up to talk to their boys in Vietnam. “The joke around town was that the landlord there stayed busier on those holidays than Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny combined… and that he served a steady diet of ham on both days… as in ‘ham radio’!” “How about that,” the young passenger responded, adding a polite laugh of his own. Actually, the candidate’s nerves were a bit jumpy as the car drew closer to its intended destination. Given his propensity for verbosity, he hoped that continuing the conversation would calm him down a bit. “I wonder what his workshop looks like,” the candidate said. “Not sure that he even calls it a ‘workshop,’” the driver responded. “I’ve heard that he refers to it as his ‘shack,’ and sometimes just as the ‘garage,’ since he works on his cars as well as his gadgets in there.” The conversation piqued the driver’s curiosity. “You gonna ask him?” The candidate genuinely chuckled this time. “As you might imagine, I have some other questions in mind,” the young man responded. “I bet you do,” the driver responded, pulling up to the door. Ushered into the great man’s presence, in the den just off the kitchen, the young man was every bit the energetic candidate. “You’re very kind to make some time to visit with me, sir.” “Well, you’re off to a great start,” the great man said. “Thank you, sir,” the candidate responded. “It was a hard-fought primary, and we were pleased to come out on top.” “Oh, I’m not talking about the primary,” the great man said. “I’m talking about the first word out of your mouth.

‘Y-O-U!’ That’s good!” “Sir?” “Every letter that you write or your staff writes should start with that same word. God knows we have enough politicians who always begin with ‘I…’ I’ve done this… or I’m gonna do that… makes me sick! By using ‘you,’ the attention is focused on the voter… and then, when you win… your constituent!” The great man’s candid and cantankerous nature, as well as his sage advice, made the hourlong meeting seem much shorter. Toward the end, it was the great man’s turn to ask a question. “Who are you running against, anyway?” The candidate bit his tongue and kept a poker face, remembering that an endorsement from the great man put his opponent into office in the new congressional district two years earlier. Calmly, he mentioned the incumbent’s name. Sen. Barry Goldwater responded with a snort of surprise… or derision… the candidate couldn’t determine which. “A girl?! Well, I’m not gonna get in your way! Now… where’s my checkbook?” The candidate wanted to frame the check as a keepsake, but the campaign treasurer explained that federal election finance law mandated its deposit. Besides, every dollar counts in a political campaign. Thirty years after Barry Goldwater lost his race for the White House, the young candidate won his race for the U.S. House. Almost another 30 years have passed. Barry Goldwater belongs to the ages, and the young candidate-turned-congressman has now become a columnist. He wrote this piece, still using the “Goldwater Rule.” Check the first word. You see? 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.

Business Briefcase

BY LAUREN SERRATO

West Valley View Staff Writer

he West Valley is no stranger to growth. The population continues to rise, economic development is booming, and new and existing businesses are finding success. This week we’ll look at a business with branches throughout the state, including Goodyear, that reached record income and growth. Additionally, an Avondale-based company was nationally recognized as Best Staffing Firm to Work For, and a Houston-headquartered chain just opened on the northwest corner of McDowell Road and 99th Avenue.

FirstBank has record year Location: 1559 N. Litchfield Road,

Goodyear FirstBank, one of the nation’s largest privately held banks with a focus on “banking for good,” announced yearover-year double-digit percentage increases in assets, deposits and income in the fourth quarter of 2021. Across FirstBank’s Arizona branches, assets totaled nearly $1.2 billion, up 21.4%. Total deposits were $1.1 billion, up 42.5% from the same time last year, while net loans increased 23% year over year to $1.1 billion. “Last year was another challenging one, but FirstBank is fortunate to have a lot of milestones and recognitions to celebrate,” said Joel Johnson, FirstBank

Briefcase...continued from page 13 East Valley market president. “We attribute that success to our dedicated employees and customers. It’s encouraging to see the growth that we were able to attain at the end of 2021, and we’re eager to keep that momentum as we head into 2022.” Wrapping up 2021, FirstBank awarded 10 businesses $5,000 in prize money and $1,000 to be donated to a nonproﬁt of their choosing through its Good Business Contest. The winning businesses demonstrated a positive impact on their customers, communities and employees despite the challenges of the pandemic. Three of the 10 businesses awarded were based in Arizona, including Envision Painting, Ground Control Craft Food & Drink, and Social Spin Laundromat. Additionally, FirstBank received the Phoenix Business Journal’s Corporate Philanthropy 2021 award, which highlighted the organization’s year-round philanthropic efforts strengthening communities around the Valley. In the same quarter, FirstBank was also selected as AZ Big Media’s Most Admired Company for its strong leadership, community involvement, and dedication to its employees and customers. At the end of December, FirstBank’s assets across all markets totaled $28.9 billion, up 17.9%. Total deposits were $26.6 billion, up 21.6% from the same time last year. Net income grew by 30.2% to $309.4 million, while net loans increased 4.9% year over year to $13.6 billion. “Among many accomplishments, our team provided more than 5,800 mortgages and over 1,600 real estate loans to customers in 2021 — an exceptional level of production,” FirstBank CEO Jim Reuter said. “We are starting the new year in a strong position, largely due to the hard work that has been shown by our dedicated team members.” For more information about FirstBank, visit eﬁrstbank.com.

Last Train to Juarez shares its map to success BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI West Valley View Executive Editor

ith a cowboy hat pulled deep to his eyes and a thick beard, Dejan Knezevic fits the red dirt/outlaw country genre well. He has his fans fooled — and that’s not a bad thing. Born in Chicago, Knezevic was raised by parents from Montenegro and Bosnia. Serbian is his first language. The Serbian coat of arms adorns his hat. “My family is from former Yugoslavia,” he said. “I can’t say I’ve ever heard of an American Serbian country singer before. There’s a first for everything, I guess.” In late 2018, Knezevic formed Last Train to Juarez, following the lineage of his heroes, Ward Davis, Whitey Morgan, Hank 3 and Jamey Johnson. They released their debut album, “Some Road,” on March 18.

“It was an awakening, so to speak, for me, and I quickly started discovering a whole genre of country music that spoke to me,” Knezevic said. “It was around this time that I started seriously considering starting a project in the red dirt/outlaw genre of country music.” Last Train to Juarez is a departure from previous projects like Pelvic Meatloaf. Last Train to Juarez sees Knezevic singing for the first time, something that even surprised his wife of 23 years. “Sure, I fronted a metal band, but I never really tried singing,” Knezevic said. “What we did back then was death metal and growling, so this whole singing thing was new to me. I wasn’t confident at all. But what I lacked in confidence, I made up with motivation and perseverance.” He had a revolving group of musicians

until April 2021, when the lineup was solidiﬁed as vocalist/acoustic guitarist Knezevic; Mark Tomeo, pedal steel, dobro, backing vocals; bassist Jonathan Candler; drummer Brian Teille and lead guitarist Stephen Dietrich. Additionally, ﬁddler/ mandolin player Austin Brooks joins.

Debut EP released In 2021, Last Train to Juarez released its debut EP, “Dirt and Stone,” which was recorded at Villain Recording Studio with Byron Filson engineering and producing. Prior to the album release, the band dropped the singles “Some Road” and “This Letter.” “Our music blurs the lines a bit and doesn’t ﬁt neatly into any speciﬁc country genre,” he said. “I’ve heard people refer to us as outlaw, red dirt, biker country, and rock or metal

country. Ultimately, what is most important to me as an artist is to write and create music that is pure, honest and authentic, music that comes from the heart and soul, which is why I prefer to stick with originals over cover tunes. “Granted, we do play cover songs out of necessity since we are a newer band and don’t have enough original material to cover a four-hour gig, but that is quickly changing as I continue to write new material.”

SUDOKU TIME

The idea of Go Figure is to arrive at the figures given at the bottom and right-hand columns of the diagram by following the arithmetic signs in the order they are given (that is, from left to right and top to bottom). Use only the numbers below the diagram to complete its blank squares and use each of the nine numbers only once.

Place a number in the empty boxes in such a way that each row across, each column down and each small 9-box square contains all of the numbers from one to nine.

H Moderate HH Challenging HHH HOO BOY!

Each numbered row contains two clues and two answers. The two answers differ from each other by only one letter, which has already been inserted. For example, if you exchange the A from MASTER for an I, you get MISTER. Do not change the order of the letters.

Our local high schools embrace civic virtue BY DR. MARK YSLAS Agua Fria High School District Superintendent

gua Fria High School District firmly believes that a well-rounded education connects lessons from the classroom to experiences in the real world. So, we encourage students to be actively engaged in service learning and strive to make a difference through community outreach. We recognize that civic engagement is a critical component of our efforts to produce WVV Qrtr Page of Ad (4.9in x 4.9in) V2.pdf the next generation leaders and citizens who will continue to contribute

CMY

to society. This school year, students throughout the district have helped save lives by donating blood, honored our veterans through fundraising, celebrated first responders with hand-written notes, invested in the community by making park improvements, served as reading tutors to local elementary students, and supported individuals with disabilities by volunteering at the Special Olympics of Arizona. With a student population of over 9,300 and a commitment to civic engagement, Agua Fria High School District is making a positive impact in our local community. We take great pride 2/1/22 9:37 AM in1 empowering our high schoolers to be an integral part of the community

now and into the future. In the coming months, we will be pairing the Class of 2023 up with local retirees for “Seniors to Seniors.” Through this program, our goal is to develop multigenerational relationships among students and residents. Youth will share their time and talents to offer technology lessons, assist with holiday lights, and create social events. At the same time, our students will engage with our growing active adult community and have an opportunity to learn wisdom from their elders. Those age 55 and older who are interested in the opportunity to connect, submit your contact information at aguafria.org/seniors. Everyone is welcome to become part of the success of the district, including retirees, charter school families, faith-based organizations, businesses, nonprofits and others. While I still consider myself the new kid on the block, in my efforts to familiarize myself with the community, I have met many people through events hosted by munici-

palities, secured membership in organizations like the Rotary and chamber of commerce, and by dining and shopping at local establishments. Not only do we want our schools out in our community, but we also want our community to be in our schools. We have also made it a priority to host several events to bring the community together, like the Veterans Day Luncheon, VIP Homecoming Experience and the upcoming Fine Arts Showcase. It is my goal to continue making and maintaining valuable community connections to help us become the best high school district in the nation. As the Southwest Valley continues to grow, the district will expand its reach and deepen its roots within the neighborhoods we serve. We need forward-thinking community partners who believe in our vision and are interested in collaboration. So, if you are interested in creating a stronger relationship and becoming a friend of Agua Fria, please email me at myslas@ aguafria.org. I look forward to connecting with you.

OBITUARIES Earle Eugene Rayner, Jr.

Earle Eugene Rayner, Jr. (“Sonny”), a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend, died unexpectedly March 3, 2022. Born August 21, 1936 in Buckeye, Arizona to Earle Sr. and Clara (Perry) Rayner, Earle developed a lifelong love of flying, agriculture and farming as a fourthgeneration native Arizona farmer. Earle attended Litchfield High School and the University of Arizona, and was also in the Air National Guard. In 1959 he began farming with his dad Earle Sr. and his brothers Ron and Robert, and was later joined by his son John, and nephews, Perry and Ross. Earle was an avid outdoorsman who loved all things outdoors including breaking ground for new farming, flying, and boating. He earned his pilot’s license in his early 20’s and many mornings you would find him flying over the wheat and cotton fields. He loved anything with a motor and was always engaged in various projects around the farm and at home. In his younger years Earle and his brothers rode motorcycles in the hills, and hunted deer on horseback in the Bradshaw Mountains. Earle and his wife Sherryl thoroughly enjoyed their life together and had a shared love of outdoor activities, traveling, and spending time with loved ones including their dogs Shay and Sady. His children, John and Kris, from his former wife Virginia, were a source of joy to him throughout his life and he shared with them his great sense of adventure including boating, fishing, skiing, scuba diving, and travels to Mexico. He is survived by his wife of 31 years, Sherryl, his son John (Shelby), daughter Kris (Gary) Nordquist, grandchildren Zoe and Zefea Rayner, and Matthew and Jared Nordquist, his brothers Ron (Heather) Rayner, Robert (Sharon) Rayner, sisters Donna Callan and Judy (Fred) Lueck, and a large extended family. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him. A memorial service will be held at 11:00 a.m. Saturday, April 30, 2022 at The Church at Litchfield Park, 300 N. Old Litchfield Rd.

During her time spent in Virginia Beach, Florida, and her final resting place of Arizona, Ciara made sure that no matter where she was living, that she surrounded herself with her passions, her family, and lived life to the fullest. She had an admirable fervor for Navy-JROTC, where she completed the program as an E4, Petty Officer 3rd Class. She was a talented athlete and found her peace in soccer. She loved every aspect of the game, and when she was not able to play herself, she gave her time as a referee for her local community teams.

She was survived by her parents, George Henderson, Tammy Hanson-Bowles, and step-mother Maureen Clark.

Helen Harriet Hollingsworth Buttemiller Helen Harriet Hollingsworth Buttemiller passed away peacefully on March 1, 2022. Harriet, as she was known to all, was a loving wife, doting mother and proud Nana. She was a loyal friend to so many people and the perfect combination of wit, steel and kindness. Things that brought her great joy were playing golf in the warm Arizona sun, afternoons of playing cards with her bridge group, her exquisitely decorated Christmas tree (as well as all things Christmas), her beloved Green Bay Packers and most of all her family. Harriet was born to Helen Riddell Hollingsworth and Dr. John Southwick Hollingsworth on February 22, 1941 in Sheboygan, WI. She attended Grant Grade School and graduated from Sheboygan North High School in 1959. She then attended Northwestern University in Evanston, IL where she was a member of Delta Gamma. Harriet earned a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish, graduating in 1963. While at Northwestern, she met the love of her life, Dr. Robert (Bob) Buttemiller. They were married on September 19, 1964. In 1968 Bob was drafted into the United States Air Force. Thus began a life of travel and adventure for Harriet and her family. Over the next 30 years they would live in various places including The Philippines, Florida, Texas, Hawaii, California, New Mexico and Arizona.

Steven Kobernick

Mr. Steven Kobernick, 66, of Buckeye, Arizona died February 23, 2022. He was born January 12, 1956 in Colorado Springs, Colorado to Frederick Kobernick and Roberta Turman. Funeral services are private. To leave the family condolences, please visit www.thompsonfuneralchapel.com/ obituary/steven-kobernick

Harriet embraced the life of a military spouse, joining the Officers Wives Clubs at every base where they were stationed. Her mantra was “bloom where you are planted” and she would speak that phrase to her children often. Upon retirement, Harriet and Bob moved back to their happy place, Litchfield Park, AZ. They were active members of The Wigwam Country Club where Harriet served a term as president of ladies’ golf. The friendships Harriet and Bob made while in the military and then back in Litchfield Park were for life. When Harriet lost Bob in January, the outpouring of love and support she received from everyone meant so much to her. Harriet is survived by her three children, Maggie and husband Jeff Dietert of Houston, TX, Carrie and husband Peter DeWitt of San Antonio, TX and John and wife Sara Buttemiller of Palm Desert, CA as well as six grandchildren, Carlie and Kyle Dietert, Jack and Charlie DeWitt, and Natalie and Henry Buttemiller. She is also survived by her brother Will Hollingsworth and his fiancé, Lin Van Koevering of Green Valley, AZ, her sister-in-law Jacky Hollingsworth of La Canada, CA, and her sister-in-law B.G. Bates of Bolinas, CA as well as many nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her husband, Colonel (Ret.) Robert Buttemiller MD, her mother, Helen “Fuzzy” Hollingsworth, her father, Dr. John “Doc” Hollingsworth, her brother, John Hollingsworth and her sister-in-law, Mary Ann Testwuide Hollingsworth. In lieu of flowers, Harriet’s family prefers a donation be made to a charity of your choosing in her honor.

Staying Motivated Looking for a job can be deflating, in particular as the process drags on. Nothing is more important than staying motivated along the way. Here’s how. INSPIRATIONAL READING

Dig into stories and tips from inspiring figures in your chosen field. Motivational speakers may also offer welcome life lessons and perspectivechanging ideas. Set up alerts so you’ll be notified when they post new content. These messages might then spark a new idea of your own, or give you that extra bit of incentive to complete one more application. Best of all, you’ll be learning valuable lessons along the way.

GATHER TESTIMONIALS

Collecting testimonials about your particular skills and talents does more than bolster your CV. These comments, whether through a client review, a LinkedIn endorsement or manager feedback, provide a huge boost when

it comes to personal motivation. Take the time to acknowledge your own past accomplishments, noting how far your career has already come. Those same testimonials can then be referenced with potential employers as part of the interview process.

CREATE A NETWORK

When things don’t go according to plan, we’re often hardest on ourselves. That’s why it’s smart to be surrounded by a group of supportive friends, family and former co-workers who have always brought out the very best in you. They’ll be there to lift you up when the going gets tough during a protracted job search. At the same time, show your appreciation for others who are in the same situation. Volunteer at a local charity, or help out

on a project that will build still more positive relationships. Encourage yourself the way you’d like others to support you during times of difficulty. This shared sense of community will see you through.

VISUALIZE YOUR FUTURE

Create a vision board. Sketching out where you’re hoping to be is a smart way to narrow the application field. It helps you determine the best possible role and with what company, along with key details like location and salary. But it also works as a motivational tool. By visualizing the preferred result, you’re reminding yourself what’s at the end of this difficult task: The chance to advance your career. Along the way, remind yourself of everything you’re grateful for.
